Special Admission
International Students. Susquehanna University welcomes the interest of international students. In addition to the application, candidates are required to submit two letters of recommendation, secondary school course lists and examination results, the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) if English is not the first language, and certification of financial support. The SAT is required of native English speakers, and SAT Subject Test scores are highly desirable. International applicants may not request Early Decision nor use the Write Option alternative to standardized testing. Please address all inquiries to Associate Director of Admissions Denise Moy at email@example.com.
Candidates with Learning Disabilities. Students with learning disabilities should apply for admission to Susquehanna in the normal fashion. The university will use the same criteria to review these applications as any other applications. The admissions staff may also ask the director of counseling, who serves as coordinator of services for students with disabilities, for assistance in the evaluation process. Susquehanna does not offer a separate curriculum or program for students with learning disabilities. The university does, however, comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 in granting reasonable and appropriate accommodations.
Candidates with learning disabilities may also find it helpful to include a copy of a recent psychoeducational evaluation with their application. This will enable the university to inform candidates whether or not Susquehanna is able to provide the level of assistance they may be seeking.
Students with learning disabilities who are most likely to succeed at Susquehanna are those who understand the nature of their disability, are able to be assertive about their needs and are strongly motivated to succeed.
Further information on Susquehanna's policies and services for students with learning disabilities appears in the Student Services section.
Special Students. Students not formally admitted to a degree program may enroll in courses as special students with the permission of the registrar. The registrar must approve the nature and amount of course work based upon the student's prior academic record. Special student applicants may be required to provide a transcript of all previous academic work. Students must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher. If the cumulative GPA falls below this point, the university may refuse permission to pursue further course work. Enrollment will be on a space-available basis only.
Special students planning to attend the university later as degree candidates should consult the admissions staff. This should be done as early as possible to assure proper guidance and to complete the admission process. Special students who have completed 12 semester hours of course work and who intend to become degree candidates must declare their intention and be properly advised before continuing to enroll in courses at Susquehanna. Students planning to transfer Susquehanna credits elsewhere should obtain prior clearance from the academic dean or registrar of the receiving institution.
Special students are subject to all rules and regulations of the university. They will be graded on the same basis as degree candidates, and the registrar will maintain a permanent academic record of all courses attempted or completed. If a student enters the university as a special student and later becomes a degree candidate, the grades earned as a special student are included in the GPA.
Summer Session. Susquehanna's four-week intensive summer session and seven-week regular summer session offer a variety of courses. Bulletins listing summer session courses are distributed to all students early in the spring semester. Recent high school graduates who have been admitted to other colleges may enroll in the summer session. They should confer in advance with the college they plan to attend to make certain the credits earned will be transferable. Summer session candidates who plan to earn a Susquehanna degree must first have their applications approved by the Office of Admissions.
Qualified students who have completed the junior year of high school may enroll in summer session credit courses. Candidates should provide a letter of recommendation from their high school guidance counselors. All students who wish to enroll in the summer session should apply through the Office of Continuing Education.
Veterans. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has approved Susquehanna to provide education under the public laws pertaining to veterans, reservists and the children of armed forces personnel who lost their lives in the service of their country. Candidates should present certificates of eligibility and entitlement before registration. Veterans who come to the university without the appropriate certificates may apply after arrival through the Office of the Registrar.
To be eligible for full veteran's benefits, a student must be a degree candidate and carry at least 12 semester hours in each of the two semesters of an academic year. Veterans must notify the assistant registrar of re-enrollment at the beginning of each semester and of any course dropped later.

Top 5 NFL Football apps for iPhone
Football season is upon us again and with it comes the need for score updates, player stats, rosters, and other information hardcore fans want in the palm of their hands. For iPhone users, you've got tons of options when it comes to apps. Whether you just want to check score updates or check on your favorite fantasy football league. Follow along for our top picks.
ESPN ScoreCenter
ScoreCenter is by far one of the most popular sports apps in the App Store. Not only does it contain support for NFL but other sports as well. You can follow your favorite teams and choose to receive push notifications for a variety of different things. You can set alerts for individual games or for a whole season which is nice for people who may not want updates for games they're able to watch. They can just set them for games they know they're going to miss.
I like the fact that ScoreCenter allows you to follow all your teams and see a brief summary in one place. If you just want to check scores and stats quickly you won't have to dig around. But you have the option to see more detailed information if you want to.
ScoreCenter is a free download in the App Store.
[Free - App Store Link]
ESPN Fantasy Football 2011
For those of you that take part in fantasy football leagues, ESPN also offers an app for fantasy leagues as well. You'll need to already have a fantasy league to use this app but once you have one, you can use the app to manage the following aspects of your fantasy league -
- Start, bench, add, or drop players
- Accept or reject trades
- Receive push notifications for scores, substitutions, and trades
The app also allows you to view fantasy league news as well. It's also a free download in the App Store.
[Free - App Store Link]
Pro Football Insider
If you want to view more than just stats, scores, rosters, and rankings - you may prefer Pro Football Insider. It contains not only the information you'd expect but thousands of video clips, updated news and rumors, and even more.
One thing I really found interesting about this app over the others was the integrated Twitter feed which aggregates Twitter postings from not only industry experts but players themselves.
If you're a Pro Football Insider subscriber you'll also have access to even more premium content that the free app doesn't provide. This is an app any hardcore football fan will want to pick up.
[Free - App Store Link]
While I didn't find NFL '11 to be as in depth as some of the other picks, the ease of use and simple to navigate interface somewhat makes up for that. If you need an app that will give you up to date game information along with player stats, rosters, and statistics - NFL '11 should suit you well.
You can customize alerts for teams and games just as you can in some of the other popular apps such as ESPN ScoreCenter. NFL '11 also offers integration with their NFL.com Fantasy Football 2011 service and app. Most fantasy football fans I talked to seemed to prefer the ESPN fantasy app better but if you prefer the NFL fantasy app, this pairing may be a better option for you.
[Free - App Store Link]
NFL Fantasy Cheat Sheet 2011
Here's another app fantasy football leaguers will definitely want to check out. Not only does it aggregate up to date NFL news, standings, and charts - it's one of the better apps out there for managing your fantasy leagues.
Out of the apps I checked out for fantasy football fans, this app seemed to have the best user interface by far. You can quickly view profiles and stats by simply swiping left and right. Other apps sometimes left stats buried and harder to get to. This app is put together exceptionally well and will make managing your content easier than ever.
Some of the main features of the app include the following and much, much more -
- Custom rankings based on your league scoring system
- 2011 projections and stats based on data from 2007 - 2010
- Team depth charts
- Rank players manually
- Draft player tracking
[$2.99 - App Store Link]
While these may be some of our favorite apps to load up on our iOS devices during football season, it doesn't mean there aren't other great ones out there. If you use something different let us know what your picks are as well. Special thanks to @jlew0451, @EckStrm, @Wrnglr, and everyone else who helped out by telling us their favorite football apps!
And if you want even more suggestions on football or NFL apps, check out our TiPb apps & games forum for more opinions from forum members. You can also give us your opinions on your favorite sports apps in our TiPb apps & games review forum. We'd love to hear from you!

Top 5 NFL Football apps for iPhone
Yep - the design of most sports apps leaves a lot to be desired. I've yet to find a well designed one.
As far as the 'form follows function' argument, I don't think that means abandon all efforts to create a well designed app. If the success of apps like Instagram & Tweetbot or even hardware such as Apple itself has taught us, it's that you can have great function & mediocre design and your product will do alright - but if you have great function & great design, your product will soar. Let someone develop a well thought out, intuitive, easy to use, but informative sports app with a great UI and it'll leave most of these apps in the dust.
The web is filled with stories as of late about the importance of great design and attention to detail. But I could be a bit bias, I'm an Industrial Designer at heart & an Art Director by trade.
I have developed an iPhone app that will let you track all your bets all season long. The Feedback has been great and users are loving the app. Check it out at www.KDubsports.com The app is free with a free trial to all sports.
ESPN gets all the love, but I prefer Yahoo Sportacular for both design and more comprehensive push notifications. My favorite is a three hours prior to game time alert, but there is also a red zone alert that cones in handy. And I find it easy to navigate, whereas I can't ever find what I'm looking for in the ESPN app.
Just a note. NFL Fantasy Cheetsheets seems to have stopped updating their player news since the season started. Everything wa good during the preseason, with up to the minute info, but now that my draft is over, and the regular season week 1 is done and over with, their news stories on all my players (and even on others) are 2+ weeks old. I guarantee that there's been updated news on all my players from two different drafts in the last two weeks.
Seems the app was supposed to be used to help with fantasy drafts only, and now that they are all done, and the dev has our money, they don't need to keep updating the news anymore. What a shame...
In all over the world average of foot ball viewers is more again other games. foot ball start from 1840 from this session now days foot ball player very important role for viewers.
I'm not positive the place you're getting your information, however great topic. I must spend a while studying much more or working out more. Thank you for fantastic info I used to be looking for this info for my mission.
If the app from these veteran soldiers was available now, following american football would be much easier http://rckp.st/HOid4.
I saw a new real time football apps is coming out soon, it's called Yellowflag. It's the first mobile application dedicated to facilitate fan interaction in real-time for both the NCAA and NFL. Check it out http://rckp.st/HOid4
I like OdzBall Sports Calculator - it tells you the odds of your team winning when you put in the state of the game (basically a win expectancy finder). Works for football, baseball, soccer and hockey. Fun to use during the game.

iOS 6 passcode bypass discovered, could allow snooping
Once again a way has been found to bypass the iPhone's Lock screen passcode, this time for iOS 6.x, and involving a complex series of button pushes and screen taps to basically put the system into apoplexy. This particular Konami code of doom was reported by Adrian D'Urso of Jailbreak Nation:
Today, we discovered a method to bypass the passcode lock on any iPhone running the newest software update iOS 6.1. The method is a bit complicated and will allow access to the phone application. While hitting the home button will re lock the phone, the exploit does have potential to snoop through peoples contacts and make calls.
It's not the first time a vulnerability in the the iPhone's Lock screen passcode has been found; providing just enough functionality to make emergency calls yet not enough to get into the rest of the system seems to be an error-prone process. Apple, for their part, will likely patch it in the next update, as they've patched similar bypasses in the past.
All that said, it's important to remember that bypassing your passcode requires physical access to your iPhone, and in this case, for long enough to successfully enter the complicated series of steps successfully.
To learn more about this latest security snafu and it's parameters, hit the link below.

iOS 6 passcode bypass discovered, could allow snooping
Some contact the vendor, some do not. What you are missing is that just because a bug has not been publicized does not mean it is not in the wild and being exploited. When real bad guys discover an exploit, they keep quiet about it, to they can use it.
In cases where this is the likely scenario, the ethical thing to do may very well be to go public with it as opposed to go quietly to the vendor (Apple). When an exploit is made public, vulnerable regular people have a chance to protect themselves (in this case, by taking better physical inventory of their device), and, some vendors, Apple included, have in the past demonstrated that they respond to bad situations best when pressured publicly. The best route to protecting the public sometimes is, and may have been in this case, full disclosure.
double post
+1 for trolling
With some companies, publishing the information get's it fixed much more quickly. Apple is one of those companies.
freedom of information. I want to know if someone has the ability to partially bypass my phone's lock screen.
"What you are missing:"
1. most obvious reason is for fame, people get known for outsmarting securities and then get hired at firms for exploiting and fixing issues.
2. Helps further technology ingenuity, when other free-range programmers catch whim it may allow them to capitalize on new ideas or inventions.
3. If there is a burglar on the prowl, its not only important to notify the the authorities (Apple or w/e), but its important to notify your neighbors (other users). That way your neighbors can do whatever they can to prevent the burglars exploiting their defenses. It is ultimately up to the owner of a home or a phone to prevent the crime, the more the user or owner knows of the crime and how it is executed, the better chance they have to bolster against it. We live in a country that says you are innocent until proven guilty (4th amendment & 5th amendment), and so it is best to assume that if you leak this info people will attempt to develop ways to stop it instead of abuse it. Your line of understanding assumes people are guilty before proven innocent, and that's not a healthy.
4. knowledge is free, and only a sucker would want to be a naive chump.
Just to be technical, everyone is calling this a "bypass" of the lock screen when in fact it's a "partial bypass" of the lock screen. All that is exposed is the contacts app. If it was a bypass of the lock screen, then I would have access to the phone because the lock has been put to one side. This isn't the case.
"Just to be technical" I would call it something else!
It is partial, but as it gives access to the contacts app, it lets an unauthorized user see/change contacts, make phone calls, sends texts, make facetime calls, look at photos (by adding photo to contact), jump to maps and a host of other things the contacts app can do (send emails, text, tweets, facebook, etc).
Getting access to the contacts app actually allows the user to do a lot. Then again Siri has access to alot of those features as well.
On a side note, I managed to get it to work once. Subsequent times I tries this the screen went black and all I could see was the status bar, so it's not foolproof.
"Complicated" means taking less than 30 seconds and a less than 10 key presses???

BOONVILLE - With the state playoffs right around the corner, the Lady Rams will be taking a step aside from conference play to honor one of their own.
Starmount will host a benefit tri-match Saturday for former volleyball standout Meme Brown, who has been battling ovarian cancer for four years. The fundraiser will raise money for Brown and her family to help cover medical expenses.
Brown, a 2009 graduate of Starmount, was a four-year starter for head coach Jon Symons. As a middle blocking specialist, she earned all-conference honors her final two seasons and an honorable mention all-conference as a sophomore.
Brown was a integral part of the Lady Rams' three-straight trips to the 2A Western Regional final in 2006-08, including starting in the state title game in Raleigh in '07.
In addition to volleyball, the Boonville native also played basketball for Starmount for four seasons, suiting up for varsity her final three years. She also ran track as a junior and senior, which included running a leg on two all-conference relay teams, the 4x200 and 4x400 in 2008.
Following graduation, Brown signed her official letter of intent to play volleyball at Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk.
But the deadly disease cut her collegiate career short, as Brown was only able to play two seasons for the Bobcats in 2009 and 2010. During her time at Lees-McRae, she posted 71 kills, 33 blocks, 18 digs and 19 service aces in only 32 matches played.
While talking about his former player, a teary-eyed Symons said he tries to get his current Rams to emulate Brown's work ethic on the court and in the gym.
"It's hard to talk about her. She played for me for four years," he said. "I never had a kid who worked harder than Meme. As a person, I tell my kids, if you want to emulate someone in their work ethic, it would be Meme. She's a fun kid; she always played with energy and was always happy.
"She's battling right now, and we're proud of her fight. We're hoping the best for her. It's a tough battle for her, but we're always thinking about her," Symons added.
The Rams have been donning teal headbands, ribbons and shoelaces (the color of ovarian cancer awareness) this year and have dedicated the season to their former player, something Symons said was an "important deal to these kids."
Starmount will host 3A and 4A powerhouses Carson and Reagan in the tri-match, which tips off at 10 a.m., at the high school gym. The Lady Rams will take on Carson in the first match before closing out the event against Reagan around 1 p.m.

I would like to win the contest because the $350 gift card would help me greatly in my quest to purchase an iMac. I'm going to enroll in programming classes and I'm going to focus on developing web apps and ios apps, so anything to go toward my education will be helpful. Please pick me Rene!!
I would love to have a new iPad for the holidays!
An iPad mini would be great.
As a single mom, it makes it hard for me to afford a new Ipad. It would be nice if I was picked as a winner so I can keep tabs on my side business I have & also allow my son to use it as well for certain school applications from 3rd grade. It would be an advantage for both of us. I never win any of these sweepstakes but if somoone else does. I hope they enjoy their electronis for the holidays. Happy holidays Everyone & wish me luck. My choice is an Ipad.
I want an iPhone 5 because I would wanna give it to my little sister for Christmas, but I don't have enough money to buy it, as a college student :/
iPad mini. My fiancé would love an iPad mini. Unfortunately I cannot buy him one because student loans have begun so Christmas will be a bit more meager this year. But if I could get him one, black/slate, I know he'd love it!!
My wife has a Mini, I've got the 5, so, I'd love to have a full size iPad - my 8 year old would like to play with it, too... Haha! Good Luck and Happy Chrismahaunakwanzakah to all!

an iPad would be awesome. Thanks iMore for these great opportunities.
I hope I win and iPad Mini!!
I'd love to win an iPad or iPad Mini so I can have something to use while at the fire house when I'm on duty
I'm not going to be greedy, here. I would just love an iPad. Any iPad. iPad 2, iPad 3 closeout model, iPad 4. I don't care. I just love my iPhone 5, but it was a stretch for me to even buy that. It was like a birthday/Christmas/being alive or whatever present to myself all in one. I really want an iPad to watch Netflix on, read news articles, etc. without straining my eyes with the iPhone all the time. I'll settle for a 16 GB iPad 2 WiFi only. That would be more than enough for me. I could use my iPhone 5 as a WiFi hotspot and the iPad would be perfection.
I'd like a black 64gb iPhone 5
I would love to have an iPad or an iPhone ! A wonderful device will make my christmas
I'd like the latest iPad, please. I want to install iA Writer as my main writing app. Cheers for the 4 weeks of festive gifts. Would be fab to win.

An iPad Mini would be a pretty sweet Christmas gift for me, from me.
I would like a new Ipad with a nice blue bow wrapped up in time for school!
I want an IPhone 5 64 gig for my job as an educator. I would love to the storage and portability that it has to offer. My problem is that I have out grown my 8 gig iPhone4 and I am stuck in contract for another year. As an educator I'm not in it for the money and thus I cannot just go out and buy one out of contract, but iMore could just make it a Merry Christmas for 2012!
I would like to have the ipod touch because i love how thin and light it is and how much power and speed he can produce. Its even better than any ipod before and i would be really happy of i get an ipod touch.
Ipad mini if you please! love the smaller form factor and it will complete my ios inventory

new iPods look sweet!
I'd love a cell-enabled iPad mini... so portable, so cool, and my iPad is wifi only, so...
I am impressed and amazed by the quality and design of the mini... and can't believe the naysayers who tout other tablets' price and screen advantages. I have played with those tabs, and sorry... the iPad mini is just WAY cooler as an experience... in the hands, carrying it... and using it. Game over. Apple wins again, despite a less impressive "spec sheet".
My kids need an iPad for, uhhhhh, stuff.
Any device would be fantastic to win!!!!
iPhone 5 black 16gb because I'm eligible for an early upgrade and the gift card will absorb most of that hit. Thanks!
I would like an iPad Mini. I currently use a iPad 2 as my primary computing device and generally have it docked in some fashion or locked into a stand. So it would be nice to have something to move around with and leave at home to FaceTime with the family.
I'd like an iPad Mini. Thanks & Merry Christmas!
iPad Mini please perfect size for reading :)

So when the iPad Mini arrived I thought about every trick in the book to get it but alas no luck.

So yeah an iPad Mini under my christmas tree from old Saint N...iMore would be awesome! see what I did there, did you see?

iPad! I could definitely use an iPad! They cost way too much here in Jamaica
I would like to have either an iPad mini or an iPad 2, please. I am a law student and being able to have my outlines on an iPad would be much easier to deal with when I am studying rather than having to use my laptop (Dell because I can't afford a Macbook since I am not working while going to school full time). Thanks!! Happy Holidays!
iPad 4th gen please because I love to read and the iPad gives me an opportunity to read ebooks from multiple different websites, Nook, Kindle, iBooks and others!

I would like a 32GB iPad Mini. I want to give it to my girlfriend for Christmas. She has an 1.5 hour commute into Boston on the train at 5:30 am and it would be something to entertain and organize her.Cheers & Happy holiday's!!
OoO - an iPad Mini please :) and thanks in advance!
I would love an iPad mini with LTE. We just had to disconnect our iPhones to save money and data only on a mini would be cheaper than a cell plan for an iPhone.
Hey! I'd love to get an iPhone! It's almost Xmas but it's way to expensive in the country where I live, so there's no chance I can get one. Maybe this could be my Xmas gift, since I always wanted one :P Thanks guys
iPhone 5 please!! Because I'm completely broke thanks to college :'(
white iPad mini =)

Molina Healthcare partnered with Helping Hands of Goose Creek to help feed some hungry families Thursday, Aug. 21.
Molina, a California-based company focused on providing health care services for families with limited resources, opened in the Lowcountry at the beginning of the year. Because a main focus of the company is community outreach, a joint effort with Helping Hands seemed a natural fit, said Cathy Rosado, Director of Community Engagement for Molina.
We had heard about the work Michelle (Arredondo, Helping Hands director) did, Rosado said. What Helping Hands does is perfectly aligned with our community outreach mission.
Molina employees donated, delivered and helped distribute 817 pounds of food to 35 families Thursday morning at the Helping Hands facility off Central Avenue.
The company encourages volunteer work through a benefit that pays employees their regular pay plus their hourly rate for every volunteer hour donated by the employee.
The company wants their employees out in the community helping, Rosado said. A main part of our mission is better health for families in need. This is what were doing here today.
Rosado said Thursdays donation is the first of many joint efforts between her company and Helping Hands. Future endeavors might include nutrition education, literature on health-care resources for families who come in seeking help, and more food donations.
We expect to do a lot more with Michelle, she said. She does some excellent work here, and we want to be a part of it.

App Review: Documents to Go for iPhone
Matt Miller, editor of our sibling-site NokiaExperts, got an advanced look at Documents to Go for iPhone as part of his ZDNet gig, and has already gone live with an amazingly detailed review: Review: Documents To Go raises the bar for iPhone word processing.
Matt loves the low price point, the Word editing, and Exchange support. Obviously, he misses the Excel editing support, but knows that's coming.
Check out his full review for more, including a huge screenshot gallery, and overviews on editing, syncing, and Exchange support.
Thanks Matt!

App Review: Documents to Go for iPhone
I could actually use this and was thinking it would be great to have an app like it...only to find out there is one already! And for a great price! Very cool though, thanks for highlighting the review.
I'm a little disappointed with Docs To Go for iPhone. I was really hoping for the excel release too, and I know that it's coming in a free update, but still, bit of a let down. The word processor is good EXCEPT you cannot edit font size or font type... I know that you can at least enter font type in QuickOffice. Lack of mobileme support is disappointing for me too.
Yeah. Absolute disappointment. All that waiting for nothing. They kept on talking about doing unique things with the app, but I don't really see exchange attachment support as all that unique. If there was a way to get a free exchange account I'd be happy, but there's not. I was thinking they'd implement an in-app email client to download and send attachments from POP3 & IMAP accounts, much like 'Print and Share' does. Of course, in saying all that I can't complain about the price.
Not too impressed at the moment. Bought the Exchange version and can't for the life of me get it to work. The DataViz website listed in the log to allow you to check sync error codes does not exist and my attempt to log an e-mail support request about it failed when I hit the send button with the neubulous 'technical difficulty' response.
I have an Exchange account configured for e-mail that works fine, and syncs calendar and contacts but on this, nope. Same settings fail.
Will persevere over next few days to try this but cannot say I'm that impressed so far and would happily have stuck with QuickOffice had it not been for the Exchange option. If that will not work I shall be demanding a refund!!!!
One question for those who have tried it with Exchange: Once you've downloaded the document from the exchange e-mail to your device, is it permanently saved on the device and no longer associated with the e-mail from which it came? In other words, once downloaded, can you delete the e-mail and have the document remain on the device?
Thanks for the tip re SSL. Tried it but unfortunately it does not work for me. With it disabled I get an SSL error message and with it enabled I get Error 0xa777777a. When you go to the page their Log suggests re error codes you get 'Page cannot be found'.
Beginning to think I made a mistake buying this. I have logged a tech issue via the DataViz site and hope it can be resolved but, having bought an Exchange version I would expect it to work. If it doesn't I shall be going for a refund through the app store and telling them why.
Not impressed at the moment.
@ Mr P
I am experiencing the same issues (exact same errors). I too have logged a tech issue with DataViz. I sent them a copy of the verbose log, as requested. I'll see what they come up with.
Right now, I am of the mind that even with Exchange not working properly, I am satisfied with the functionality I am getting for $9.99.
@ Mr P
I received the following response from Dataviz.
"This happens if the Exchange Server uses self-signed (custom) certificates. Docs To Go does not support self-signed certificates (this is mentioned in the system requirements on the product page). Basically, any certificate that doesn't have a "real" CA (Certificate Authority) such as Verisign or Godaddy will not work with DXTG and will cause this error. The built-in "Mail" app on the iPhone doesn't support self-signed certificates either. It won't give the same error, but it will essentially leave the user at a dead end."
Sure enough, once I got an actual issued certificate from GoDaddy, D2G with Exchange works like a charm.
@ jstrickland.
So they ask you to buy a certificate in addition to $9.99? Sounds scary to me.
I would rather choose Quickoffice coz they evolved much better than docs to go and in the iTunes description they promised that there will be a free update with full attachments support not limited to Exchange account.
I just can't pairing Documents to go Desktop with my iPhone. When It's pairing Documents to Go Desktop Windows Vista Home Premium appears this msg "Documents to Go stops to work. Windows will verify a reason to this problem...". Then "Windown can't solve the problem..." Then Documents to Go close. Why?
@ JStrickland
How did you go about getting this certificate and what did you do with it? Our company can provide me with a zipped signed certificate that we install on out laptops when getting this error but, for security resaons they will not use public.
Without Exchange working it's still OK BUT if it doesn't work I needn't have bought it, I could have opted for the other one. Private certificates are mentioned in the app store now but it's buried quite low down in a manner which for me does not reflect the critical nature of this issue. In my view they should put a large asterisk next to the title of the app and pick it up immediately below pointing that it requires public certificates to work, uring those who do not know what their company uses to check.
I'm having the samie problem that Sergio has, but in my case I have Windows XP Home Edition, and it shows me the same trouble, I can't paire my iphone with my computer, "Documents to Go stops to work, Windows can't solve the problem and Documents to Go Desktop gets closed. Somebody has a solution about it?
0xa777777a error
This happens if the Exchange Server uses Self-Signed/Custom SSL Certificates, which are not supported by version 1.000 of Documents To Go for iPhone. Any certificate that does not have a trusted industry standard Certificate Authority (CA), such as VeriSign or Go Daddy, will not work with Documents To Go 1.000.
This error will be resolved in an update for Documents To Go for iPhone, which will be version 1.100. This update will be available soon. When it is released, if version 1.000 is installed on your iPhone or iPod Touch, the App Store and iTunes should both show that an update is available.
(sergio) hi! i read your problem and it seems we are both on the same boat, my ipod touch could not be paired with the desktop DTG. i followed everything they've given at tech support and still i can't make it work.i wonder if you have solved yours already, i hope you can share how you did it.thanks in advance!
This app is nice but ultimately quite disappointing to me. I personally feel that the following items are needed FAST:
1) Imap and POP3 email support, both editing attachments and the ability to send attachments.
2) Excel editing support. Sure we get this in the future, but when exactly?
Lesser Items:
1) Powerpoint editing support. The blackberry has it so why not the iPhone?
2) the ability to change fonts in Word.
3) the ability to create and edit tables within a word document.
All in all it's a pretty poor start. Sure the price point is low, but frankly it should be. So much for the two week sale as well. The prices are still the same.
i tried quickoffice.just the setup for synch gave me a headache.I bought docs2go and the synch was magical.
i am a fan of this product since my palm days.
Currently iphone 3gs and vista.
Docstogo iphone app does not work with Open Office files.

Japan and the Soviet Union shared a common border in Manchuria and the German invasion of the Soviet Union weakened the Soviets greatly. In view of the advantages to Japan in seeing the Soviet Union defeated (not to mention the resources available in Siberia) and the fact that Japan had large Kwantung Army stationed there essentially doing nothing, why didn't Japan attack?
We have to delve into two spheres to address this question, the political and the military.
Militarily, the Japanese fought a series of border skirmishes with the Soviet Union at Khalkhin Gol (located along the Manchurian - Mongolian border, Mongolia then being a "People's Republic" and puppet of the Soviet Union) through early summer to early autumn 1939, with the main battle happening on August 20-31. Georgy Zhukov (who later went on to lead large formations in Europe, but then a Corps Commander) launched a coordinated combined arms attack which stunned the patently inferior Japanese, leading to a prompt cease-fire and cessation of hostilities on September 15, 1939.
Politically, the Japanese military cadres were always divided along two opposed doctrines: the Northern Expansion Doctrine (in which the Japanese Empire would expand north into Siberia) and the Southern Expansion Doctrine (in which the Japanese Empire would instead focus on South-East Asia and the greater Pacific) favoured by the Army and Navy respectively. The thorough paddling that the Imperial Japanese Army and the Kwantung Army received at Khalkhin Gol discredited the Northern Expansion Doctrine.
There are indications that the Japanese would have struck the Soviet Union had Operation Typoon succeeded and Moscow taken by the Germans, but this obviously never materialized. What a difference 50km can make!
Japan was interested in extending its influence in Asia and for that it had to confront either USSR or USA. While I don't think that the exact reason for choosing USA is known, Japan was at a clear disadvantage when battling USSR: while the Soviet Union had established overland supply line for its troops in the far east (Trans-Siberian Railway) the Japanese had to supply their troops and transport reinforcements by sea. This already proved fatal for Japan in the Russo-Japanese War and only the civil unrest in Russia that eventually led to the 1905 Russian Revolutiоn saved Japan from a defeat. The history repeated itself in the Battles of Khalkhin Gol in 1939 and I guess that the Japanese learned their lesson.
The United States on the other hand could only defend their interests in Asia and Pacific by sea, same as Japan itself. So the chances here were equal and the attack on Pearl Harbor temporarily gave Japan a significant advantage - something that they couldn't achieve against Soviet Union.
The Soviets kept a strong army in the Far East at all times, in case of Japanese attack, and the Japanese had come out a distinct second best in earlier battles. Opening up a front meant committing the Kwantung Army to battle, with all the logistics (never Japan's strong point) that implies, and a battle that the Japanese could not necessarily pull back from.
Further, there weren't all that many resources being exploited in Siberia, and Siberia's a very big place. After what was available near Manchuria, it was a very long trip to the Irkutsk area, the next place worth conquering.
They had a treaty beginning in 1941, after a few skirmishes along the area in question. They were also a member of the Tripartite Pact, which they remainded a member of even after Germany attacked the Soviet Union
references: Wikipedia
One important reason that Japan chose to go to war with the United States rather than the Soviet Union was because its navy was the stronger of its two arms.
The Japanese navy was quite competitive with the U.S. navy, even before Pearl Harbor (until the 1943 U.S. shipbuilding program kicked in). Not so the Japanese army, which had been defeated by Soviet forces on the Mongolian border in 1938, and lacked tanks and other heavy equipment.
Furthermore, Japan didn't have the logistics to fight a "two front" war, one on land and one at sea.
US oil sanctions were crippling Japan and they came after the US to try and force FDR into negotiations and cripple our Navy that he had moved from San Diego to Honolulu, the only force capable of stopping the Japanese from taking the oil fields in the Indies. In other words they were desperate for oil and had to remove the threat of the US Navy before they could think about war with Russia.
They did attack the USSR a few times, but lost badly and decided to sign a treaty with the USSR. They quit with Russia because they wanted to expand farther into the Pacific to which Russia wasn't a threat to that goal. That's perhaps the biggest reason for the Raid on Pearl Harbor, Japan was worried that America would intervene and cause issues to the plan. They decided to launch a first strike to neutralize the possibility, by destroying the American fleet and holding us off for awhile. This however didn't happen because the main targets being our aircraft carriers were out to sea at the time of the attack.
In August 1939, while Japan and the USSR were skirmishing, Germany and the USSR signed a Non-Aggression Pact that allowed Stalin to put some more focus on Japan (among other things). By early 1941, Japan decided it was time to focus on securing its oil supply in Indonesia and so shifted to its Pacific strategy. Hence they signed a neutrality pact with the USSR in April 1941. Germany showed no signs of a policy shift until June 22, 1941, when it abruptly attacked the Soviet Union.
With regard to the USSR, Germany was like "we got this." All through 1941 while Japan was prepping Pearl Harbor, Germany was wailing on Russia. When Pearl Harbor happened, the Wehrmacht was at the gates of Moscow. The Nazi leaders were debating whether to start killing the Jews right away, or "in the spring, after the war" meaning 1942. Likewise, Japan expected its expansion in 1941-42 to present the West with a fait accompli, that the USA would have neither the resources nor the willpower to fight, and that if they did, it would take several years to recover from Pearl Harbor and present a new threat in the Pacific. In other words, they could focus on China, and the USSR if they wanted, later. It did not work out that way.
As was stated in another answer, there were a number of skirmishes/battles that occurred in 1939, such as the Battles of Khalkin Gol, but it essentially concluded when it became apparent that Japan was not a military match against the Russians. This basically guaranteed that Germany and Japan would never link up as allies on land.
For more information about the battle, I'm going to forward you to the wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battles_of_Khalkhin_Gol
Japan tried to expand into China and South Asia. It had no condition to attack Russia in the North at the same time.
The Japs got their asses handed to them at Kalkin Gol in 1939. They had no defense against Russian armored warfare.
Also, Hitler had made alliance with Stalin in 1939.
Also, the Japs were completely distracted by fighting the Chinese.
Japan and Germany had a political and military alliance during World War 2, as Japan was part of the Axis powers. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941, the U.S. declared war on Japan the following day. As you would expect, Germany (Japan's faithful ally) then declared war on the United States on December 11th, 1941. So yes, when Germany invaded the Soviet Union, it's puzzling that Japan did not honor its alliance by attacking the U.S.S.R. Such an arrangement would have divided the Soviet military in two and assured a victorious invasion for Hitler.
So, why on EARTH would Japan cross the Pacific to fight a neutral United States when its own ally was at war with neighboring Soviet Union?
Recent details have come to light that finally answer the question. In the mid 1990's, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, certain KGB archives revealed that Soviet spycraft actually engineered the war between the United States and Japan. This new information, stemming from the Venona Project, shows that Soviet penetration of the U.S. State Department and Treasury Department played a key role. Specifically, Harry Dexter White, a senior economist at the U.S. Treasury, was instructed to author key conditions during diplomatic exchanges between the U.S. and Japan. The key conditions were designed to start a war. The main condition was the demand that Imperial Japan withdrawn from all occupied territories This condition in particular convinced Japan that the U.S. was committed to war in the Pacific. In essence, Japan felt that they HAD to fight the United States. (Check out 'The Venona Secrets' by Herbert Romerstein & Eric Breindel as well as 'The Battle of Bretton Woods' by Benn Steil).
Once the Soviet Union was assured that their American agents had issued the hardline conditions, the Soviets could confidently focus on a one-front war instead of a two-front war. On December 4th, three days BEFORE the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Soviet Union confidently moved nearly all of its eastern land forces...forces that would have fought against Japan...into the western front to counter Hitler's fast-moving invasion. From a military standpoint, its dangerous to turn your back on the ally of your enemy (Japan) unless you are absolutely certain they will not attack.
Militarily, Japan had MUCH better chances fighting a country that was right next door and already heavily engaged in fighting Nazi Germany, which happened to be Japan's military ally. It is truly a miracle of statecraft that Japan was tricked into attacking a neutral nation nearly 3,000 miles away.
Also of interest...the Soviet Union, who was supposedly an ally of the United States in fighting Hitler...never declared war on Japan until AFTER the atomic bomb was dropped in 1945. After that, the Soviets moved their forces back to the east and promptly invaded Manchuria. Pretty nifty spycraft.

Rolls back the mental clock by roughly 12 years*
In one double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, researchers wanted to evaluate the effect of PS on memory. They recruited 149 subjects aged 50 to 79 years with age-associated memory impairment (AAMI), a risk factor for dementia. After taking 300 mg per day for 12 weeks, the PS group improved memory performance as much as 30% over placebo. Memory tests included name recall, telephone number recall, facial recognition and object placement (keys and glasses).
One subgroup experienced more benefit from PS — those who had the worst scores in the beginning and who were slightly older than the average.
Using name-face acquisition data, researchers estimated this group "rolled back the clock" 12 years.*
Helps athletes blunt cortisol*
The stress hormone cortisol is produced during strenuous physical exercise and can break down muscle tissue. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, nine cyclists were given either 400 mg or 800 mg of PS per day for 10 days.
After the 10 days, they came to the lab where they rode a bicycle ergometer for 20 minutes to exhaustion. Analysis of blood samples taken during exercise showed that 800 mg of PS blunted the stress hormone cortisol 30% more than placebo.
Helps children with attention problems*
In a preliminary open study on children with attention deficit, hyperactivity and learning problems, 27 children aged 3 to 19 were given 200 or 300 mg per day of PS, depending on body size, for up to four months. At the end of the study, PS showed clinically meaningful benefit for 25 of 27 children. PS improved attention, concentration, learning, behavior and academic performance.*
Works best with EPA & DHA found in fish oil*
The omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA work synergistically with PS to provide the building blocks for healthy cell membranes. Recent scientific evidence supports the use of EPA and DHA for cognition, behavior and mood, as well as for early brain development and overall mental performance. Taking PS in combination with EPA and DHA from fish oil ensures the nerve cells and brain work well.*
How Much Phosphatidylserine (PS) to Take
• Start with 300 mg of PS per day for 1-3 months (with meals), then take 100 mg (one softgel) per day for general health maintenance
• For mood, start at 400 mg per day for 1 month or longer—for best results, take with at least 200 mg of EPA and 200 mg of DHA found in fish oil
• Take up to 500 mg per day for better results
• Athletes may require 800 mg per day to blunt cortisol
NOTE: Lindberg uses the SharpPS brand of phosphatidylserine used in many of the clinical studies.

The second and third sentences don't even make any sense as written.
"You're in charge of a party of adventurers trying clamoring to win a year without taxes in a tournament spanning the entire kingdom of Kameloot. As you might expect, the and lust feature prominently in your heroes throughout the story's progression."
I haven't even gotten past the first paragraph and I'm already done. I'm not talking about a comma fault or a typo. I'm talking about sentences that are not conveying a coherent message. It makes the article worthless.
Battleloot Adventure for iPhone and iPad review
Battleloot Adventure was recently made available free for a limited time on iPhone and iPad - what better reason to try out a promising fantasy turn-based combat with a fresh twist? You're in charge of a party of adventurers clamoring to win a year without taxes in a tournament spanning the entire kingdom of Kameloot. As you might expect, the lust for fame and fortune feature prominently in your heroes throughout the story's progression.
Combat is a simple series of taps - tap your dude, tap the bad dude, and he attacks. You only get one attack per turn, so be sure to chose who's doing the swinging wisely. Once your turn's up, the opponent gets a shot. There's a slight real-time element involved, whereby you can tap your own team members to initiate blocking during combat, or get other team members to assist a primary attacker on your turn. If those assists stack up to enough attacks, a star will spawn afterwards that you have to tap to collect before a short timer runs out. Every character only has a limited amount of energy which regenerates over time; blocking eats up that energy, which can leave you too winded for a follow-up attack. If your party gets wiped out, you can either start the mission over again or pay to have your party revived.
The good
- Fun, unique art style
- Classic RPG combat
The bad
- Not universal
- Not optimized for Retina iPad
The bottom lineWhile the classic RPG mechanics are a familiar sight, there are a few real-time twists on the turn-based combat that keeps players on their toes. The cardboard cutout art style is definitive and unique - the big bobble-heads, as goofy as they are, really grow on you. Between weapons, armor, equipment, talent, and hero selection, the amount of customization is absolutely great. All in all, Battleloot Adventures provides a fine mix of old mechanics and new twists; lighthearted art style and deep gameplay. It's free for the time being, so what have you got to lose? Try it out!

Thanks for the heads-up. The lusty part got accidentally folded in with some code after shuffling images around. Trying/clamoring was a straight-up deletion oversight.

St Bees has county's lowest internet speeds
Last updated at 12:44, Thursday, 01 March 2012
ST Bees has the lowest broadband speeds in Cumbria, a survey has revealed.
The price comparison site uSwitch said broadband speeds for the village are 1.25mbps, which is much slower than the 5mbps which is being recommended for homes and businesses around the country.
The slow internet speeds have had an impact on people living in the village ,as well as nearby St Bees School.
Colin Helliwell, network manager for St Bees School, said: "In the last six months we are now able to access more cost-effective high speeds which will be 250mbps. Up until then, we had to constrain the internet usage.
"The boarders were not able to use Skype or social networking sites to contact family and friends because we did not have the internet capacity to let them do that."
He said in the past students have found it difficult to access the internet for studying and researching during class times, as the internet connections will slow even more.
Mr Helliwell said: "A home user may use between one or two mbps, but when you are supporting a school, which has around 250 pupils, it means the internet runs extremely slow or will crash."
He added that residents in the village are keen to have the standard broadband improved.
The survey revealed that Cumbria, and Carlisle, has the third slowest broadband speeds across the country, of 3.24 mbps – around 50 per cent slower than the national average.

Have your say
I live in St.Bees and have just checked my speed. 0.5 is my average. That is of course when I can get a connection which is only about half the time!
I have consistently had less than 0.5 meg but I now find I have risen to the dizzy heights of 0.7 and one day I hope to watch.............. something like BBC i player

100 breast

300 drills

3000 yards,no not leagues...
under the pool, no not the sea,
but the challenge and the rewards may as well be...
Updated September 3rd, 2009 at 01:11 PM by flippergirl
but that is just an excuse for not swimming a hard work out. There are other place I could go. I really can't say what the problem is except like a pouty child I am stubbornly crossing my arms and saying "I don't want to!" "So there!". The only thing I know left to do that might break the spell is to set a goal and tell me, myself and you that "I pomise to go to the pool on Monday when it reopens." I hope this breaks the spell. I do know that in the past when I wrote it down in this here blog/journal...it made it happen... Hope it works...
What I have been doing is
whitewater kayaking at the whitewater center. I gotta get ready for the Gualey River that runs with a big festival in West Virginia the months of Sept. and Oct. It is a beauty of a place up there, but if I don't prepare it could swallow me up.
I have been studying and training to become an Advanced Open Water Diver. Even though I have now recieved this certificate I still have mucho to learn.
Been diving off wrecks in the North Carolina Coast. This was awesome... and diving oysters in the Quarry! The Oyster Dive is an event where about two hundred divers showed up and we went treasure hunting for orange painted oyster that were worth nice prizes like dive trips, regulators, BCD's and other neat stuff.
This weekend if the weather allows we are off to the coast to see another wreck on the botton of the sea.
But my biggest regret is my swimming seems to be slipping so...
So with a hand shake I say to you...
"I flippergirl promise to swim a good work out on Monday."
They swim around till their all pooped out!
Working on technique and drills that my coach gave me. I am excited about improving all the strokes as I am considering the IM as a favorite of mine.
I swam about 2200 this morning, a little of this, a little of that. I tried to focus on keeping my entire body in correct positioning, learning to push the water towards my toes with my forarms in backstroke and worked on keeping lower body higher in the water for breaststroke. This made the glide fun and feel a bit like the ungulating of the butterfly.
Cramed for an enriched nitrox course for scuba and couldn't believe I got an 88%! Charts and tables aren't my thing, but I actually enjoyed it. So with some intrepidation I must say that instead of focusing on my swimming lately it has been diving in a quarry and preparing for this weekends deep wreck dives off the North Carolina coast...two tankers and two Civil war boats!
Diving can benefit my swimming as I must learn to move effortlessly as to save oxygen. A sense of this could possibly help me to think about swimming more efficiently instead of like a wild animal trying to get out of an elephant...
which is a bit of my nature

I have been dealing with alot of distractions that keep me from staying true to my WOs. Traveling, celebrations, family accidents, business matters, etc.
I went to the Ed Gaw Amelia Island 5k swim at the tip of Fla. and it was awsome. It is so far away from this writing however, that I feel its memory slipping away. Ah yes, I just got a flash of being in the perfect temp. ocean water on a clear day and charging with a hop. skip and a jump toward the first bouy. It seemed like forever, but I kept my stroke long, relaxed and steady.
I kept invisioning things like my coach at the side of the pool with her arms stretch out like a monkey reminding me to climb the water long and tall.
I thought about my Dad if he were alive... on the side lines saying, "Com'on you can do it!
I had planned on pulling out my surfer racecar driver friend Peter for help when I just thought I couldn't go any farther and I did.
At one point I smelled cigarette smoke...it was a kayaker...drove me nuts.
"Where's that dam bouy!" I remember screaming out loud to nobody on several occasions.
Sometimes in the distance I saw two other bright green caps. I used them as competion I was determined to catch but never did.
I am very thankful to the kaykers for keeping us all coraled. I would have other wise been all over the place.
I used houses on the sidelines like people I was passing in a parade...my hands waving over and over again.
Finally, I saw the finish bouy! I rounded it and headed to shore. When I stood up I felt my whole body shift and not in a good way. My legs ached as I crossed the finish line with all my might.
I won my age group!!!! But most of all my time makes me very, very proud of the hard work I did leading up to that very moment of 1:35:24 for my first 5k.
Now time to get back to the drawing pool.
P.S. Good Luck to everyone at the Nationals!

I told Heather I was doing a 5k ocean swim on Saturday so we focused on getting ready for that. We worked on elongating my stroke, relaxing my feet and hands and breathing on both sides. She showed me some drills for maximizing my stroke...to swim more efficiently with less effort.
Drills to remember and do:
Lie on back, arms at side roll full circle leading with the hips while kicking.
Lie on stomach, put a kickboard between thighs and tap it at the back of your stroke in freestyle.
Sculling with fingers apart slightly.
Counting my strokes down pool. She said no more than 17. I stayed under that fairly easy.
I asked her to time me on the 25 and 50 after our class of focusing on longer stroke.
25yds- 15.6 and 50 yds - 34.8.
If this is accurate these are awesome times for me. I am not going to post them as I want to check with a stopwatch for accuracy.
I will be away from my regular workouts as I am traveling to Fla and SF until August 1. When I get back I will meet with her again. I hope to find pools to swim in when I am away.
but they had an emergency. The plan is to meet monday. I hope to have them look at my stroke and see where to go from there.
I sent in my form to do the Amelia Island race 5k on July 18 on my way to pick up my Mom in Fla and fly with her to my brother's wedding in SF.
Maybe I will find a pool in Marin County to swim.
Anybody out there have any ideas?
500 IM drills
500 dophin kicks
8 x 50 on 50
12 x 10 on 25
400 swim. Focusing on free stroke.
Timed my 50 and 25
25- 16.08
Nothin to write home about, but I am very happy with the 50 time. In a race with a dive maybe I would break under 34.
remembered my sneakers and shorts and went to the wieght room. Did stomach crunches, leg press 10 time 110lbs. Leg curls and extension. About 7 times 35 lbs.
Oh ...last night we did our first night dive in the quarry!

I will do the ED Gaw Amelia Island, Fla openwater swim July 18th. I planned that today was the day, but if I was to achieve my goal I would have to pace myself, period.
I decided to set swim at 9:25 AM...just make the k's and not care too much about time. I did notice however that my first few 100 meters were under 2:00 minutes and I was only warming up. I glanced at the clock ocassionally, but the metrnome in my mind was on the laps.
I swam elongated strokes, short strokes, breaths to one side or the other, but always freestyle... hand over hand. Sometimes my legs became the driving force as if I were doing a kick drill. At other times it was a pull drill. I used a of variety of tools I have learned over the past half a year to engage different muscles groups and give others a break.
My pace always felt similiar. It was important for me to see I could do the distance and feel what 5k is like so I know at least some of what I am getting into before I hit the ocean.
I looked up at the clock. It was 11:10 AM even.
I did the 5k in about 1:45. I am sure it will be different in the sea.
This is amazing to me. I never thought I could do it. When I started blogging six months ago I had no idea I would go from doing 1725 yards to 5000 meters. What is this powerful attachment between swimming and connecting with others through writing. Whatever it is, I hope to have the good graces to keep it up.
But the truth be known, I am a bit afraid of the Amelia Island swim.

100 free easy
5 x 50 Free on fifty
200 Free drills
400 Back/Fly

I felt strong the whole way. Guess we have good days and not so good. That is the toughest part of life sometimes. Always expecting to feel great.
Raced the 30' Cat Capri non spin with hubbly alone and we came in third. Dana looked at me very seriously last night after the race and said. "I couldn't have had a 19 year old guy on the boat tack as well you did tonight." That put a big on my face.
Updated July 3rd, 2009 at 02:08 PM by flippergirl
200 Warm up
400 drill
500 kick with fins; 45 sec on each 50 yards
200 breastroke
14 x 25 9 on 25 sec, 2 easy, one fast under 18, one cool down. I bought a stopwatch, but still have to find someone to time me. I need a coach, but feel like that is such a big commitment. What if they aren't the right coach for me?
5 x 50's on 50
400 esay
2400 yards
Saw my big sister this week end and she said a coach would help me to understand how realistic and in what amount of time could I drop first, two seconds off my 50 free. Right now it is 34.50ish Then dreamin about another two.
I know 2400 yards isn't gonna cut it.

I heard the voicemail, was worried and tried to call Susan back twice. Finally the phone rang.
"Paige…Peter drowned."
Peter was a surfer and one of the Jersey shore gang I hung out with in my teen's and 20's. We dated one summer. At the time he was on top of the world. He was racing Formula Ford race cars so I went up to Lime Rock Ct with him and his parents one week end. My stomach still remembers the way he took those curves on the drive up to the track. Paul Newman was there and so was Warner Earnhardt. No relations to the Dale's (I don't think)…but some hip psychological guru from California. Anyway….I can't seem to remember exactly what trouble Peter had with the car. Had he flipped?
I do remember after we stopped seeing each other my mother heard that he was in Cosmopolitian Magazine as Most available bachelor of the month.
Peter loved to surf with Michael, Sue's twin brother. As adults they traveled around the world in search of you know what. Now in their 50's they had been together in the ocean last Thursday bodysurfing off New Jersey shore. Dear, sweet, careful Michael did everything he could to revive his long time buddy, but he could not win the battle against another's destiny.
As far as anyone knows there was no trauma to his body. The sea had been strong…but not something they had not encountered before. I write this in my blog because it is about swimming in open water. I feel the loss of a friend, fear and confusion about the ocean right now.

Today would have been my fourth day in a row of training. Yesterday I swam with a pulled hamstring and sore shoulders. Well, today they are worse. At least for now I am a person who needs a day off for recovering. I know I am supposed to time myself at the end of the week for the speed experiment and since I have to go out of town tomorrow till Sunday night I will just have to time myself on Monday. I feel I worked very hard this week and maybe if I give my muscles a chance to recover this is the smarter way to time myself. We'll see. I know I feel like have no strength today.
I don't want to make too big a deal out of this in my mind...because that only leads to negative thinking about myself.
I also have a very full day preparing for spending a wonderful week-end with my family in Boston. I am going to focus on that now.
But I shall return!!! Don't give up on me...please! As I am not going to give up on myself.
1000 yards focusing on stroke and turns and pushing off really hard.
200 backstroke
300 breastroke
5 x 100 on 1:30 kick with fins
200 drills
100 free
12 x 25 on 30 sec (did 18-20)
300 cool down
Made my 3000 yard mark.
That's all.
4 x 150 free 3:00
4 x 50 kick w fins 1:15
4 x 100 free on 2:00
4 x 50 kick w fins 1:15
400 IM with fins
tried 100 backstroke drill with coke can on head. Only fell off twice, fun!
400 IM w/o fins
300 yds of free, drills, breast, back, butter
200 cool down
2800meters I am tired and have to train two more days in a row. Fist time I am training 4 days in a row. Ugh!
Today I grabbed Kristilynn's and magnified it to 24 so I could see it without my glasses. I did a modified version being sure to get over 3000 yards.
500 warm up
5 x 100 kick W fins @ 1:30
8 x 50 @ 55 25 heads up/25 swim (I think this helped me with catch and release)
4 x 25 sprint @ :30
5 x 100 kick w/fins @ 1:30 (basically nonstop for me)
4 x 50 @ 55 choice drill/swim
4 x 25 sprint @ :30
3 x 100 @ 1:30
300 cool down
3000 yds.
Going back to the pool tomorrow to do 3000 yds more of some other work out.
You can set them and you may acheive them or not. The key is deciding you are not a failure if you don't do them perfect and totally give up. The point of goals is to march on and try to do better next week. That said I am proud to say I swam four time this week and my yardage was very close to 3000 except for one day.
I think if I have a written out workout plan I will make the distance next week. Today my arms are sore and I did 2500.
I also did my speed workout 12 x 25's as fast as I can three time this week. But today I had no one with a stopwatch so I timed my self and will post them in my speed journal/post, anyway. Being off from swimming (sailing) for a week cut into my speed training. But I will keep track anyway.
Win or lose I always learn!
I can't find where I posted my last times so until i do I will post them here.
25yds 50yds

3000 yards, four times a week and Ande's speed drill.
In the middle of the night while trying to sleep I planned my workout.
I swam the LCM today
Here it was-
10 x 50 free to warm up
4 x 50 swim, 50 kick,50 drill, 50 swim (IM)w/ fins
10 x 50 fast (45-50sec) on 1:00
5 x 100's fast (1:40 sec) on 2:00
200m cool down.
2500 meters must be more than 3000 yards.(but it is not...it is 2735yds.)
I guess got close when I added in the catchand release drills...oh well...
Jerry joined my lane as I was finishing up and he gave me some tips for the catch and release...high elbow. I worked on some of those drills. I have a long way to go...
During my workout I thought about my body as a boat. My arms were the sails pulling me forward as I imagined the water rushing by me and over me like the wind. This gave me a sense of feeling the water more consciously. Nirvanaha enlightenment? Then to add an extra vrmmm my kicking legs became the motor!

First time to charter a 32 foot Catalina in the Palmico Sound for a week. I was all set to do alot of swimming when jellyfish with two foot long tentacles had invaded the place. Found out the hard way and got stung first day in the water in the first few minutes. Finally, after all week on Saturday I get in the water as no sightings of the beasts except one or two that morning. I followed behind the boat for a little over an hour anywhere between .6 -1.8 knots. Just after I got out my brothers and sister dophins approached the boat and swam along with us. What a joy!
The trip was not without its hot lulls and also wild hurricanes to bunker down in, plus lots of spinacker flyin. Got the boat up to 8 knots. I learn alot about navigation. Rugged, but fun trip.
Hope to get back on track of getting faster....
Today I swam in the outdoor summer pool just down the street. I can walk there and that is so tempting rather than having to go downtown.
I like having a variety of choices...but must stick to goals when in the water no matter where:
Swim four times a week
At least 3000 which I did not do today.
Ande's speed drills at least three times a week and get timed on the 25 and 50 at the end of each week.
500 yards free
12 x 25 as fast as I could
250 kicks
250 drills
200 breaststrke
200 backstroke
100 cool down
not such a hard 2000 yards...the next workout I do must work harder. I did concentrate on form however, and felt kind of speedy in a glidish sort of way.
I went to the pool tonight with the goal to see if my times in the 25 and the 50 have improved after my first week of doing the My Speed is Horrible training along with my other workouts. Tonight I focused mostly on getting the week ending results and then I will post them under the MSIHorrible thread with my begining time for comparsion.
500 yd Free warm-up
4 x 25 yds swim
4 x 25 yds kick
4 x 25 yds sdk
12 x 25 Free did 20sec /rest 10 = 30sec interval
the last 3 I did easier and lest rest
12 x 50 Free did 40-45 on 1min interval
Then I saw Rodney coaching a team. They were finishing up so...
I asked Rodney if he could time my 50 with a stopwatch.
"Sure" he said.
I thought about, pushing off hard,counting the stripes (seven) on the bottom,full sombersault flip turn and breathing.
"On your mark, go."
First lap took two breaths and focused on kick.
Middle of second lap breathed every stroke
Ended holding breath and strong.
Well, no change.
He suggested I wasn't finishing off my stroke in the end and to rock and roll more. I asked him would he time my 25.
"Okay, walk down to the other end of the pool."
"Are you ready?"
I just plowed to the end and looked up.
"15.83" he said.
Yes!!! I finally beat 17 seconds by 1.17secs!!
"Your a fast learner." he said
That made my day.
I really see how important the stopwatch is for acuracy.
200 Warm up
We did
3 x 25 (swim,kick,swim,drill)
3 x
I just can't remember exactly and this drives me nuts, but I went thru this briefly with someone else who also says they don't remember exactly either however yardage sets came to
800 yds, sets of 25's x swim, kick swim, drill
600 yds, sets of 50's free/ choice
500 yds, kicking free/Im
then I pushed
3 x 100 free fast...not sure of time, darn it
3 x 100 I M not sure but all out,
3 X 100 choice (started poopin out)
3 minute intervals.
cool down
When will I be able to post my workouts from practice with the ease I see of other.
It was concluded that yardage was about 3200
Remembered to push hard off walls. I felt good about my flipturns. Sombersaulting completely onto back before rolling out and stroking without taking a breath coming out of the turn sometimes.
Father's Day is coming up and maybe that is why I feel blah. My Dad past away last July from Alzheimers. He was the best life coach I ever had and also my biggest fan.

I just felt like swimming in the lake today so I drove up to the sailboat club. I am trying to figureout how long it is when I swim behind the sailboats that are lined up.
I wonder if there is some kind of watch you can wear to tell your distance?
I used the tailend of the boats to stay in a straight line. That forced me in one of the directions to consistantly breath on my right side for a long time in order to make use of the boats stay straight. Up went my head way too high and down to the bottom of the lake went the opposite arm. But counting on the boats to stay in line I was forced to not give in until I slowly started trusting and sweeping the arm back instead of down. When I got it right it felt so effortless.
It seems like I can't get a day where my swim just feels great the whole time. I had a few of those a while back. Oh well...
I swam an hour and guessing on the length of the dock...I haven't got a clue really about my distance, and I put alot of thought into how to figure this out.
Trying to get 4 swims in this week.
Going to do the my speed is horrible endurance push and test at the end of the week.

SEE: Guide to Download Yale Video Lecture
Lecture Details :
While there are many differences between modern science and philosophy, there are still a number of lessons in modes of thought that scientists can take from philosophy. Scientists
Course Description :
This course presents the principles of evolution, ecology, and behavior for students beginning their study of biology and of the environment. It discusses major ideas and results in a manner accessible to all Yale College undergraduates. Recent advances have energized these fields with results that have implications well beyond their boundaries: ideas, mechanisms, and processes that should form part of the toolkit of all biologists and educated citizens.

If you haven't heard about Dropbox, I suggest you go look it up. It's a great tool that anyone can take advantage of – because it's free! Everyone loves free stuff, right?
Basically, instead of carrying around a flash drive or dealing with constantly uploading files to Google docs, you just work on your files at home and they get automatically uploaded and saved on the Cloud. You just download the software to your laptop and Dropbox takes care of the rest.
Because I float around from computer to computer, I like having Dropbox as a tool to constantly work on my school work without having to keep my laptop or a flash drive on me at all times. I just log into my account online, and VOILA! All my files are organized and updated just like on my computer at home.
Another awesome thing is that they have an app for iPad and the iPhone, so when I'm really on the run and have just my iPad, I can work on stuff from there and everything will be saved.
So, basically, get Dropbox. It's cool and free.

CRESTVIEW — Seth Forrest won't attend his first class at Crestview High School until August, but the incoming freshman has already made an impression on Bulldog baseball coach Tim Gillis.
Forrest showed maturity beyond his years on the pitchers mound during Saturday afternoon's Justin Richards Scholarship Baseball Tournament. Crestview Gray took a 14-9 win during the "Battle of the Bulldogs" against Marianna.
The win moved Gray into the tournament championship game, where the Bulldogs lost to Baker 7-6.
Gillis called on Forrest in the fourth inning with two outs, the bases loaded and six runs in for Marianna as visitors tied the game 8-8.
Forrest got a strike out to end the inning. He gave up one run and four hits over the last three innings. And Crestview scored three runs in the bottom of the fourth inning and three more in the fifth to roll to the win.
Gillis wasn't surprised to see his young pitcher step up in the pressure situation.
"For me, it's a constant evaluation process," Gillis said. "I felt real good about Seth going in there and throwing strikes. I knew the situation wouldn't be too big for him.
"I know him and I saw him at the middle school level. Just in the week that we've been here, watching his demeanor and the way he handles himself with people intermingling with everybody, I just felt real good about giving him the ball.
"... I was so proud of him. What a way to start your career."
Marianna scored two runs off Crestview starting pitcher Travis Wiljakainen in the first inning. But Wiljakainen bounced back to keep the visitors off the scoreboard in the second and third innings.
Meanwhile, the Bulldog offense was getting cranked up.
Crestview scored a run in the second inning as Pierce Cadenhead reached on an infield hit and later scored on a Wiljakainen double.
Crestview plated seven runs in the third. Hunter Willis had the inning's big hit, a three-run double that scored Jordan Chamberlain, Forrest and Drew Graham.
Willis, Corey Armstrong, Matt French and Devin Wimmer also scored in the Crestview third inning.
With the game tied 8-8, the Crestview batters went back to work in the bottom of the fourth. Chamberlain, Willis and Graham scored in the inning and French and Wimmer drove in runs as Crestview took the lead once and for all.
Wiljakainen, Bryce Larkins and Chamberlain scored Crestview's runs in the fifth inning.
The Gray team's win over Marianna continued an impressive run through the tournament for the Bulldogs.
Friday morning, Gray beat Northview 9-5 as French and Willis teamed up for the win on the mound.
Graham scored the first Bulldog run in the second inning. He reached second base on a Chief error and later scored on another Northview mistake.
The 1-0 lead didn't last long as Northview scored two runs in the third and three in the fourth to take a 5-1 lead.
The Bulldog offense got untracked in the fourth inning as the first six Crestview batters reached base and scored.
A two-run Armstrong double was the inning's big blow.
Crestview closed out the scoring with runs by Wimmer and Cadenhead in the fifth inning.
"We did kind of come out a little sluggish, but a lot of that goes to the other team," Gillis said. "I thought they were a good team.
"We kind of got it going late in the game. We battled and hung in there and that's what it takes. The key to everything is being able to overcome adversity."

Ronnie Dunn brings solo hits to MSU Riley Center on Friday
Ronnie Dunn
For 20 years, Ronnie Dunn was half of country music's most award-winning duo. Since Brooks & Dunn's 2010 farewell tour, he has been ramping up a solo career with considerable success. Dunn's self-titled solo album debuted in 2011, launching hits including "Bleed Red," "Cost of Livin'," and "Let the Cowboy Rock." Fans of the acclaimed country music entertainer can hear him in concert at the MSU Riley Center on Friday, Sept. 13, at 7:30 p.m. A pre-show will take place at 6 p.m.
Dunn was born in Texas to a truck-driving, country-music-singing father and a conservative, church-going mother. In 1990, he moved from Oklahoma to Nashville where he met Kix Brooks. With a monumental farewell tour in 2010, Brooks and Dunn began new chapters in their careers as solo artists. After the debut of his first solo album, Dunn launched Little Will-E Records in 2013 and also released his first single, "Kiss You There," with HitShop Records.
As a duo, Brooks & Dunn were at the top of the country music singles charts 23 times with songs like "Boot Scootin' Boogie," "My Maria," and "Red Dirt Road." They are the industry's most award-winning duo and were named Entertainers of the Year four times. They garnered 20 Country Music Association Awards and 28 Academy of Country Music Awards—more than any other artist in ACM history, surpassing the legendary Merle Haggard in 2005.
Tickets are $69 and $63 at the MSU Riley Center box office, which is open from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday. Tickets can be purchased online at www.msurileycenter.com or by calling the box office at 601-696-2200.

I take photographs of moments.
Each moment is special,
Each shot has a personal history to it.
I hope you enjoy the journey of a photographer's history.
Colour is about shooting what is there, black and white is about seeing what is there with the eye of your soul.
Mission statement: Converting people to black and white photography one by one.. billions of people to go, more of a life time project than a hobby ;)
