Garden Railroading
by Art Edelstein
A model train adds whimsy, and a way for the toy-inclined to relate to the garden.
The train chugged along until the engineer saw an obstruction ahead and slammed on the brakes. Walking to the front of the locomotive, he bent down and with a quick fling hurled the crabapple into a nearby field. When you operate a garden railroad, even a 2-inch fruit can lead to a serious pileup.
Garden railroading may seem like a new idea, but it isn't. It began more than a century ago in Britain and flourished in the United States during the 1920s and '30s. It fizzled out by the end of World War II but was rejuvenated in 1968, when Germany introduced a new breed of outdoor model trains ? the Lehman Gross Bahn. Today, in every state and many foreign countries, gardeners who love model railroading combine these two interests. The hobby's major publication, Garden Railways magazine, reports more than 35,000 subscribers.
Aficionados say their hobby allows family members with a broad range of interests ? horticultural to mechanical ? to share an activity. Train collecting, train running, model building, landscaping, water gardening, and rock gardening can all contribute to a successful garden railroad. It doesn't even matter if one lives in Vermont, where winter snows bury the tracks, or in Florida, where the sun shines year-round-the technology for running the garden railroad has few climatic restrictions.
As usual, the conductor is stationed on the cabose, enjoying the view.
A garden railroad overview
A well-conceived garden railroad is more than just train, track, and plants. You can express your interest in Western American history, Alpine villages, steam trains, or urban railroads. This pastime also involves creating scale-model dioramas with miniature buildings, people, animals, bridges, mountains, lakes, and other realistic scenes. Depending on time and budget, they can be homemade or purchased.
A garden railroad should be thought of more as an overall landscaping project than a pretty garden. Whatever the track plan, the garden element must conform to it; the key is to keep all aspects of the planting in scale with the railroad features. The railroad should fit naturally into the setting and surrounding landscape.

Seems to me that the issue really boils down to one thing. It's not the building of the mosque, but the location. Most agree they have the right to erect it, but are questioning the location so close to the 9/11 site. Is that right or wrong? How can we say that the feelings of people so soon after (yes, it is still "soon after) such an event are right or wrong? They're feelings; that's what they are. Maybe the site could be moved further away. Maybe it could be postponed for a couple more years. I don't live in New York, but if something like this had happened here, I think that the details would still be vivid in my mind.
Once again, the heels are digging in from both sides and force people to take a stand. Maybe a couple years' wait would cool both sides (and maybe not), but these feelings won't go away by magic without giving some respect to many very sensitive objections. If one wants respect, they need to give it in return.

You're right. All those incidents require sensitivity to the feelings of others, the idea that humans should treat others humanely.
But I'm not sure exactly what you intend in your post. Are you saying the arguments I presented were invalid? Or are you implying that I'm insensitive because I didn't bring those incidents into this discussion? If so, that's ad hominem. You have no way of knowing how I respond to such incidents.

I think you are hedging a bit on this comment Dick. I think it is quite clear what LizE is implying...that the discussion is too one-sided. Those who do not want the mosque built claim empathy as their rationale, but I have yet to see an article or blog from the detractors who acknowledge that the USA has some blame in the poor relations between Islamic countries and our country. It is a matter of "do as I say" and not "do as I do." Did you know that this endeavor was an inter-faith one with Jewish leaders also on board? Did you know that the site has been being used for worship for over a year?
I though Mayor Bloomberg was right on target with this:
We can continue to be bitter or we can attempt to find some common ground and healing that will hopefully result in making the world a safer place. Until we can find some way to respect the rights of everyone to worship as they choose, then religious disagreements and wars will continue to plague us.

No, Dick--I didn't mean to imply that I know how you feel, just that this whole issue is being viewed with tunnel-vision.
Look, I think we can all agree that Muslims in general had nothing to do with 9/11. But nine years later, we still expect them to keep in their place, which is out of sight of non-Muslim Americans who might be offended by the sight of them. Oh, they didn't do it--heaven forbid anyone suggest such a thing!--but we feel quite justified in demanding that moderate Muslims condemn the terrorists again and again and again, and get very annoyed with them if they don't comply.
But 9/11 was not an isolated event that can be frozen in time. It sparked invasions of multiple Muslim countries--a wide-ranging war on "terror" which our own president referred to as a crusade, a word fraught with religious overtones. The Dept. of Defense used biblical quotes and images in their briefings on the war. Erik Prince used the same language to the mercenaries who shot down Iraqi civilians--including children--in broad daylight. The Iraqis were not allowed to prosecute these American mercenaries, so they came home and walked away on a technicality from what many believe was a rigged trial.
Where are the moderate Christians standing up to condemn those who kill the innocent in the name of
religion? Where are the moderate Americans protesting the murder of pregnant women and school children? Where are the cries for our government to investigate the alleged war crimes revealed by WikiLeaks?
There are very few such voices, and they're drowned out by the people screaming for more Muslim sensitivity. The fact that the US is almost certainly guilty of war crimes--not ones committed in the past, but ones going on
right now
--doesn't seem to concern or even interest the average American in the least.
That's the parallel I was making, Dick. Didn't mean to pick on you particularly.

I support the Ground Zero mosque which is actually the mosque that's two really big blocks away from ground zero. If we're into sensitivity we should be concerned with the other businesses ie. strip clubs that are literally across the street from ground zero. But that's another discussion. Actually strip clubs don't bother me but should be a concern of those that are opposing the ground zero mosque but why aren't they?
The First Amendment is a beautiful thing. Something that all Americans should really be thankful for and respectful of.
What bothers me the most about Islam is that it's a religion that's really in need of a reformation. The women of Islam need to put their feet down and tell the men to get real. They need to throw off their burkas and create change. It's a religion that's way too patriarchal and anti-women. I think some of their extremists who are similar to Christian and Jewish extremists need to have some yin-yang balance in their lives.

The thing is, Hasidic Jews, some Hindus and the Amish also require what some would consider restrictive clothing. Should we advocate them to overthrow their religious hierarchies and demand change? Or should we respect their religious differences and leave them be? As a US Catholic, I remember when all women had to wear a head covering in church, and some nun's habits are still very restrictive.

Are there any major religions that
patriarchal and anti-woman?
maryskl, interesting speech Bloomberg made. Thanks for the link. He's right, but I really don't think the building of a single mosque will do a whole lot to heal relations with Muslim countries as long as we continue to invade, bomb and occupy them. I see the mosque as a Constitutional issue, and in that light important to all Americans.
The Koran burning was another Constitutional issue, blown way out of proportion by the media for reasons I still don't quite understand. All the people who tried to stop him don't seem to get what free speech is about. And the ones who say they're all for free speech--as long as it's ______ (respectful, not offensive to the religion or beliefs of others, whatever) are the most dangerous of all, because on the surface what they're saying sounds reasonable. It's nice to wish that we could all be kind and respectful and get along, but it's not realistic and it has nothing to do with free speech. I'm with Voltaire on this one.
I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Leach, who spent Tuesday hopping from interview to interview, was candid about his thoughts regarding Penn State and the NCAA's punishment.
"The most important thing is the victims and doing what we can for them," Leach told Yahoo! Sports. "Then I think like everybody, I'm incredibly outraged by what happened and that type of thing needs to be prevented."
Leach used the term "criminal behavior" and called those involved "criminals" several times, though he never specifically mentioned Joe Paterno.
"I think that it needs to be understood that the actions that took place at Penn State were the actions of a handful of criminals," Leach said. "And if there's criminal behavior, it needs to be eradicated and not covered up. And I understand the NCAA's sense and need to address it. I hope we're doing the right thing. I also hope that our system holds up their end and does as much as they can."
While Leach said he didn't mind the NCAA getting involved at Penn State, he wasn't ready to say whether the punishment fit the crime. He did, however, say he was eager to see justice served through the legal system.
"I haven't really thought it through carefully on that," Leach said. "It's hard to say. I guess the question is: Where does the legal system begin and end coupled with the NCAA? But this is a unique and extreme circumstance to it."

Watch the New Bonnie & Clyde Trailer, Starring Emile Hirsch and Holliday Grainger

A new trailer for Bonnie & Clyde: Dead and Alive (airing on A&E, the History Channel and Lifetime on Dec. 8 and Dec. 9) has been unveiled, and we're more intrigued than ever by the iconic crime saga. The film stars Emile Hirsch and newcomer Holliday Grainger as Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, two young criminals who cross America as they rob banks and capture the public imagination.
The slick, made-for-TV miniseries may add to the couple's renown, but according to the newly released teaser, the film may also try to dispel some of the myths that surround the famed and feared couple.

That could have been awkward! Joe Jonas just missed ex Ashley Greene while arriving at the vaudeville show Beacher's Madhouse inside the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. The singer showed up around 1 a.m., just a few minutes after Greene's departure, and seemed more focused on his entourage than the actual show, which he caught the week before. Greene, meanwhile, sat atop the banquette watching the on-stage shenanigans – which includes dancing Oompa Loompas, live monkeys, goats, and exotic burlesque dancers – as her rumored beau Chris Evans sat nearby.

Watch Jessica Biel & Emile Hirsch Climb Mt. Kilimanjaro
Originally posted 02/10/2010 09:15AM
From a blizzard and hailstorm to altitude sickness and exhaustion, a group of Hollywood stars and activists battled the elements to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro last month. PEOPLE.com has a first look at the documentary that captured their journey.
While fans followed the group's progress online, cameras filmed the stars – including Jessica Biel, Emile Hirsch and Isabel Lucas – as they decontaminated water with local villagers, camped in the brutal weather conditions, and eventually completed the grueling seven-day trek to the top of Africa's tallest mountain.
The expedition, dubbed "Summit on the Summit," was organized by musician Kenna to raise awareness of the global clean water crisis. The full documentary will air March 14 at 9 p.m., on MTV.

Jessica Biel Weeps at Mt. Kilimanjaro Summit

Reaching the top of 19,340-foot Mt. Kilimanjaro proved to be an emotional experience for Jessica Biel and Emile Hirsch, who climbed
Africa's tallest peak to raise awareness of the global water crisis.
"I walked over to Jessie and gave her a big hug," UN Foundation executive Elizabeth Gore, who also made the hike, tells PEOPLE via satellite phone. "The two of us embraced and we just cried. Every single one of us was in absolute tears."
"The temperature was zero degrees and so many people were struggling," she adds. "People had hurt limbs, people had altitude sickness."

Jessica Biel, Emile Hirsch and Isabel Lucas reached the summit of 19,340 –foot Mt. Kilimanjaro Tuesday, the sixth day of their trek up Africa's tallest peak, in their quest to raise awareness of the global water crisis.
After enduring torrential rain and a blizzard earlier in the trek, the star-studded group of entertainers and activists started their final ascent of the Tanzanian mountain at 1:30 a.m. Tuesday. They climbed for seven hours, then finally reached Uhuru Peak, where they posed for a photograph holding a sign that read "SEND WATER."

Jessica Biel, Emile Hirsch and Isabel Lucas trudged through a blizzard Monday on the fifth day of their hike with other entertainers and activists up 19,340-foot Mt. Kilimanjaro.
"It's pretty gnarly," Elizabeth Gore, an executive with the United Nations Foundation, and one of the participants of the trek to raise awareness of global water issues, tells PEOPLE by satellite phone. "The visibility is only 10 feet in front of you. And it's cold. I've got six layers on."
With just a day left of climbing before hitting the summit of the Tanzanian mountain, the group reached 16,000 feet, causing many to experience headaches and stomach problems due to the high altitude.

According to Coach, Legacy ($78) smells like honeysuckle, orange, and vanilla. But according to our noses, it's a little bit leathery (okay, that makes sense), very-very-clean, and generically perfumey when it comes to the sweet stuff.
It's a remarkable recreation of the scent of a department store.

There's yet another storm that the weatherman is predicting to hit us hard in Baltimore. What is that going to do for your Superbowl party? Nothing. You will still host the best party out there, or bring the best dish to the party you are attending. Today we're going to focus on the lighter side of football feasts. You ask, "Is there a light side? I thought it was all pizza and beer!" If you remember from yesterday's article, we made pizza, but it was a LIGHT pizza. Today we're going to go back to one of my favorite foods, chicken, and make two absolutely delicious dishes that even your significant other can enjoy (and help you cook).
Our first dish is Shredded Chicken Pitas. I love the versatility of chicken, and how it clings to any flavor you want. I don't normally cook with onions and green peppers because of my husband's sensitive stomach, but for this dish, they are a necessity! To serve 2 people, you will need 2 whole wheat pitas (sold at your local Wal-Mart in packages of six), 1/2 of a green pepper without seeds, 1/4 of a sweet onion, and 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. You will also need onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. For the dressing, you will need extra virgin olive oil, and don't forget the mozzarella cheese to top it!
The first thing that you need to do is boil the chicken breasts until they are done. While the chicken is cooking, have your significant other dice the onion and green pepper. They don't have to be finely diced, but they do need to be pretty small. Drizzle some extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan and sauté the onion with the green pepper. While you are doing this, have your significant other prepare the dressing. Use 8 tablespoons of the olive oil, 4 teaspoons each garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and pepper. Once the chicken is fully cooked, strain it and let it cool to the touch. Pull each breast apart until it is shredded much like the cheese, and then put it in the frying pan with the onion and green pepper. Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, and heat it back up. Next, preheat your oven to 350, and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Slice your pitas in half and open them up. Toss, in a separate bowl, the chicken mixture, ¾ of the oil mixture, and ¼ of a bag of mozzarella cheese. Use this mixture to fill your pitas. Once your pitas are filled, have your significant other mix together in a bowl 1 cup of cheese with 3 tablespoons oregano. If you do not have oregano, substitute it with Italian seasoning. Glaze the pitas with the rest of the olive oil mixture and top with the cheese mixture. Bake until all of the cheese has melted.
Salad is a wonderful thing. I don't eat much salad, but when I do, I love Lemon-Pepper Chicken Salad. You need to marinate the chicken overnight, but it is worth the trouble. For the marinade, you will need the juice of 3 lemons, 1 tablespoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon white pepper, and ½ cup extra virgin olive oil. Mix the ingredients together well and place in a bag. Place 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast tenders in the bagged mixture and shake. Place the bagged mixture in a bowl and refrigerate overnight.
I like to use the bagged salad, so make sure you have some of that on hand. If you have a grill, that's perfect. If not, that's okay. For the lemon-pepper salad dressing, mix together 2 cups lemon juice, 1 ½ cups extra virgin olive oil, and 3 tablespoons pepper. You can use more pepper if you would like, but keep in mind that it is already on the chicken. While you are preparing the dressing, have your significant other either grill the chicken, adding lemon juice and pepper as necessary, or you can broil it, adding lemon juice and pepper as necessary. Top each salad with 3 slices of chicken and ¼ to ½ of the salad dressing. If you would like to add cheese, toss 1 cup of the Italian cheese blend (some stores call it pizza blend) with the zest of 1 lemon and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Toss the cheese into the salad prior to adding the chicken and the dressing.
My last tip today is to enjoy yourself while cooking. It is not a chore, and when you add your spouse or significant other into the mix, it becomes less of a "chore" and more enjoyable for all parties involved. You can double or triple or even quadruple any of my recipes to make them for the big day! Enjoy!

I used to think that by the time your kids flew the nest, major opportunities for meeting new people you really like winged their way out the window as well. I expected that by the time I hit 50, I'd be singing about old acquaintances all the time, not just humming a nostalgic auld lang syne chorus on New Year's Eve.
Sure colleges had "parent" committees, but rarely were there face-to-face meetings, given that those parents were flung all over the country. And the only "new" people in the professional arena tended to be, well, more my kids' age than my own.
Experts seem to propound this worldview. In the recent New York Times article "Friends of a Certain Age: Why Is It Hard to Make Friends Over 30?" Laura L. Carstensen, director of the Stanford Center on Longevity in California, argued that as people move toward midlife, they interact with fewer people. Hence, they make fewer friends.
Friends Keep Popping Up All Over
Well, Dr. Carstensen, here I am, old enough that people offer me their seat on the bus — and I'm meeting people I like all over the place. My social life is jacked up. Really. The other day my friend Yona came over for lunch. I know Yona through Diane, another recent friend I met through my friend Susan, who was once my boss. This morning Diane told me a silly joke that gave me a laugh exactly when I needed one. Yona recently offered needed emotional support when I made a "career" decision that some would have dubbed "unwise" but I felt relieved me of an unwanted burden. As the song says, "That's what friends are for" — they make you laugh, and they have your back.
Then there's my relatively new friend Amy. I sat next to her at a conference a year and a half ago, and she immediately started introducing me to everyone she knew there (a lot more people than I did), included me in her lunch plans, and has become a generous colleague and one of the people I love spending time with. The thing about Amy is that she's not quite young enough to be my daughter, but almost. (If, like Loretta Lynn, I had been married off as a teen, she would be.)
Sure, there's a bit of a generation gap between us: She has school-age kids, and mine are solidly in their 20s. But my "grandma" and "mom" poles seem to be demagnetized when she tells stories about her boys. I am amused or bemused — a friend response. When I worry out loud about my young adult offspring, she doesn't overempathize with them; it's me she relates to and cares about.

WALNUT, Calif. -- UCLA's No. 12 men's and No. 21 women's track & field teams on Friday competed for the second day at the 55th Annual Mt. SAC Relays.
Junior Julian Wruck continued his impressive win streak, placing first in the Men's Discus Throw Invite University Open, winning the event with a throw of 211-09. Last weekend, Wruck traveled to his native Australia and won the discus event at the national meet, automatically qualifying for the World Championships in August in Moscow, Russia.

Notepad, Lindbergh, King Collection
On May 20-21, 1927, Charles Lindbergh literally flew into history when he crossed the Atlantic Ocean in his Ryan NYP Spirit of St. Louis, thus becoming the first pilot to fly solo and nonstop from New York to Paris. This flight made Lindbergh a household name and catapulted him into fame and celebrity. The objects of popular culture in the National Collection display everything from ashtrays to wristwatches reflect the public adulation for Lindbergh and the powerful commercial response to his celebrity. More than 75 years after the Spirit's historic flight, Lindbergh's name still has the power help sell manufactured goods.
Gift of the Stanley King Family.
Physical Description:
A notepad with a white cover that has an image of the Spirit of St. Louis flying over water and past a cloud. Red lettering below the airplane reads "NEW YORK TO PARIS" The back of the pad is a piece of board with 1932 written in pencil in the top left corner of the board. The inside of the front cover has a timeline of the life of Charles Lindbergh up to February 14 1928. The pages in the pad are lined and do not have writing on them.

Mexico vs. Holanda (Netherlands) is first up on Sunday's FIFA World Cup (Copa Mundial Futbol Brasil 2014) TV schedule and live stream (en vivo) docket on ESPN and Univision (En Español), a match that will determine which side advances to the quarterfinals. As detailed in a June 29 CBS Sports preview, Governador Placido Aderaldo Estádio Castelão in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil, will be the site for this intercontinental showdown.
Opening (TV start time) kickoff is scheduled for 12 p.m. Eastern Time, but soccer/football/futbol fans don't have to wait until Noon for TV and Internet coverage of this pivotal affair. Thanks to the Worldwide Leader in Sports, Mexicans and Dutch fans can get their World Cup 2014 parties started with ESPN3's Pre-Match Coverage - Netherlands vs. Mexico (Round of 16) (2014 FIFA World Cup) two hours prior to kickoff.
*Watch 2014 World Cup (Copa Mundial FIFA): Greece vs Costa Rica Round of 16 live stream (en vivo) free online gratis*
This online-exclusive live stream sets the tone for what will be one of the highest-watched matches of this year's tournament. ESPN3 will follow its warm-up FIFA World Cup (Copa Mundial Futbol Brasil 2014) broadcast with the following live streaming options for English and Portuguese-speaking fans:
(11:30 a.m.) Netherlands vs. Mexico (Round of 16) (2014 FIFA World Cup)
(11:55 a.m.) Highlight Reel - Netherlands vs. Mexico (Round of 16) (2014 FIFA World Cup)

Courtesy of Univision Deportes, Mexicanos y Holandeses can watch a live stream (en vivo y directo) of this Round of 16 clash half-hour before the scheduled (TV start time) kickoff.
Those watching on television will also have some decisions to make as far as what language to chose for play-by-play and color commentary. English-speaking soccer fans can simply tune to big ESPN (DirecTV channel 206) at the aforementioned national TV times, while Spanish speakers (and bilingual futbol) will have either Univision or ESPN Deportes (en vivo) to choose from.
Soccer/football/futbol fans around the country and the world simply cannot afford to miss what will be match up between two teams who refuse to lose. Will Mexico make history with an improbable win this afternoon, or will the Netherlands (Holanda) continue its steady march towards the cup?
English TV viewers can tune to ESPN at 11:30 a.m. to watch the Netherlands vs. Mexico 2014 from beautiful Fortaleza, while Spanish-speaking fans' best option is Univision's Mexico vs. Holanda en vivo en Español. For live stream viewers, the options are very similar, as ESPN3 will host its English feed and Univision Deportes will do the same for the Latin market.

Mindy Kaling confirmed during 'The Mindy Project' PaleyFest 2013 panel in Beverly Hills that she will be spending her down time between seasons writing her new book. It'll be the second book for the former regular on The Office and current creator/exec producer/star of The Mindy Project, which earned an early second season renewal last week. Mindy also revealed that the untitled book would find her looking at "the high highs and low lows of the past 18 months" and would come out "in like a year and a half." Her first book, titled Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns), was published in November 2011. And she said early in the evening that she will be returning to shoot The Office series finale. Fans also learned that actress Chloe Sevigny will be appearing in a three-episode guest part later this season portraying a travel photographer who is the ex-wife of Chris Messina's character Danny Castellano. "She's got a huge hold on Danny and broke his heart," Mindy explained. And when asked which actor would top her wish list of guest stars to land, she named Eastbound And Down star Danny McBride. She'd like to cast him as a giant, foul-mouthed, disgusting gay man. But that will need to wait until Season 2, if at all. Mindy gave a hint to where things may be headed when she acknowledged that, at 33, she's starting to think about "having kids and getting married and stuff. I'd like to see that reflected in the show."

In Outlook 2010, when I move a message from Unread Mail to a folder, it appears in both places. I want it to disappear from Unread Mail automatically once it has moved. How do I accomplish this? Thanks, Perplexed.
Unread Mail is a default search folder which cannot be customised. The intent is to display all Unread Mail in your Mailbox.
Can you not just use your inbox? You are able to favourite your inbox and other folders at the top of outlook where your Unread Mail search folder is.
You can also change the view settings to filter out mail that has been read.
If you want to imitate the functionality of the Unread mail search folder, you might be able to include the specific folders you wish to search by creating a new custom search folder.
I see what you are trying here.
The problem is, outlook does not mark a message as read until you scroll away from that message.
FYI, like Trissy said, "Unread mail" is a search folder. To compare, it similar to windows search results. The files(emails) are not physically in that folder..they are just links pointing to those emails.

Szu-Feng Chen
Szu-Feng Chen, Assistant Professor - Department of Theatre and Dance
Professor Szu-Feng Chen was invited by The Theatre Practice (TTP) in Singapore to create set and costume design for Lao Jiu: The Musical, its feature musical production for the Singapore Kuo Pao Kun Festival.
Szu-Feng Chen (second from right) with colleagues in Practice Theatre camp workshop
I was invited by The Theatre Practice (TTP) in Singapore to create set and costume design for its feature musical production for Singapore Kuo Pao Kun Festival. Lao Jiu: The Musical, is a musical version of Kuo's signature play. It was opened in July 2012 in memory of ten years of Kuo Pao Kun's passing. Kuo Pao Kun was the pioneer and art educator of Singaporean theatre—awarded the National Culture Medallion in 1989, the Culture Award in 1992, Asean Cultural Award in 1993 and the Excellence for Singapore Award in 2002. The festival is hosted by The Theatre Practice and supported by Singapore National Arts Council in honor of Kuo's contribution to the Singapore performing arts.
Singapore is a young and diverse country that has many languages, cultures and religions. Most of the citizens are immigrants and their descendants from China, Malaysia and India. After Singapore declared independence from the United Kingdom in the 1960's, the Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew decided to make the first language English based on Singapore's colonial history. The policy tried to build a national identity by making English the bridge among citizens who speak different languages. English has been used as the official language for government administration, business and education; while Singlish, an unofficial mixed language of English, Malay and Chinese dialects, is spoken by most citizens.
Kuo Jian Hong, artist director and director of TTP and Szu-Feng Chen
People of Chinese ethnicity constitute around 80% of the population of Singapore. The languages spoken by Chinese Singaporeans differs from English, Singlish, Singadarin, as well as from Chinese dialects including Mandarin, Hokkien, Teochew, Cantonese, Hakka and many others. Since the 1980's, all schools in Singapore have begun to use English as the primary language with Mandarin as a secondary language. The intention was to unify the Chinese Singaporeans from different dialects groups along with citizens from other cultural backgrounds. The increase of English/ Singlish speaking younger Singaporeans results in attempts to replace their mother language. The story of Lao Jiu: The Musical is set in 1980's, the era of cultural and language conflicts. The story is written in mixed languages of Mandarin, English and Hokkien, it represents a picture of Singapore history, generation gap, and the life experience of low-income Chinese immigrants during that time.
My collaboration process with TTP started early in 2011. It was an interesting process of long distance engagement. Kuo Jian Hong, the artist director of TTP and the director of Lao Jiu: The Musical, and I used Skype as the main communication method to discuss the play. We also held several production meetings with other theatre artists via conference calls. I started out doing intensive research in Singapore history, social, politic, and culture background to get a better understanding of the story setting. It became the foundation of my design development. The production carries a warm reminder to the local audience that the stories from their parents should not be forgotten. Therefore my design focused on creating an 80's life sketch in a contemporary silhouette. I visited Singapore in the summer of 2012, to finalize the design and help execute it. The production was well received from both theatre critics and general audiences. The modern form of the musical and the new design elements successfully introduced theatre arts to the younger spectators as well. This particular production has been invited for an international tour to Malaysia in 2013.
Scenes from the production
Aside from my collaboration for Lao Jiu: The Musical, I was invited to host a three-day theatre design workshop for theatre artists as well as the general public at Lassalle College of the Arts. This professional workshop hosted theatre artists from Singapore, Taiwan, Austria and United States who shared their creative processes in directing, acting, and design. My session focused on introducing the elements of design and the art of collaboration. The students age ranged from 14-65, which created an interesting dynamic in the classroom. I was able to tailor my course design to fit this particular group. It was also an interesting challenge to teach bilingually. I had to prepare my material in both Chinese Mandarin and English. It was fascinating that the same content could be received so differently depending on the language. I was not only teaching, but also learning from this unique experience.
Overall, I had a rich and fulfilling experience during my recent stay in Singapore: I participated in the rehearsal and production process and helped to execute both set and costume design for Lao Jiu: The Musical. I shared theatre production experience and exchanged design methods with theatre professionals from different countries. I am confident that I will be able to bring this experience into my classes and advising to the benefit of my UNH students on many levels. I am grateful to the support of the CIE international Development Grant that made my trip possible. This visit allowed me to develop a strong working relationship with Singapore theatre artists, with whom I am looking forward to future project collaborations.

That is generally the party line on a Sunday especially without a discussion with the primary decision makers. Along the same lines as we've heard before regarding Borland, etc... Time will tel... Two dings in what...8 weeks may not bode well??
Hey Jeff has BB announced who will be the #2 receiver because they haven't had one all year?Hide replies
Coaches don't "designate" a number 2. It will be whoever is thrown to and makes plays. Hammond looked good and Duckworth also has shown flashes.
Actually, quarterbacks go through a progression of reads. While on the next level, smart coaches mix up the numerical order of the reads, in college, with a significant drop from the best to the fourth WR, the best is usually the first read, etc.
Given Abby's jittery hands as of late, perhaps a corps of possession receivers like Hammond, Duck, Frederick, etc. will catch the ball. But will they get open and stretch the field vertically? That might be where White, Ball, Gordon, Doe, and Watt come in. The running game depends on that threat.
Abby is double teamed and hit hard every single play -- just like I said earlier this year, Abby won't last -- nobody could.
Thanks, Bret. Thanks for protecting Abby with ANY Other skill player at WR.
GaffyHide replies
gaffy obsessive. All teams go to their number one guy a lot. Bielema responsible for the weather also?
"head injury"? concussion? ear ache? bad hair day? all of the above? as no one has called it a concussion, I suspect it may be a light one , if there is such a thing. I doubt he plays. Does he declare for the draft after this season?
FYI gaffy: I'm going great white shark fishing in a kayyak today, This maybe my last post unless they have really good WiFi in heaven. I know I;m going there because I think BB is the right guy fot the job, but some of the coaches not so much.
On Wisconsin
Funny! Any coach in particular LA? Hope Abby is not concussed. IF he is, Saturday not looking good given his history earlier this season.
If Canada is not retained, my fearless prediction is that Azzanni will be promoted to OC. Worked at Florida for Urban and has OC experience. Well regarded, knows the players and systems now,etc. You can thank me later.
Azzanni would be an excellent choice from within the program. Are there any UW born and bred young offensive minds up and coming who could replace Azzanni as WR coach? It seems there has been a void since Barry's WR coach's unfortunate accident. Would Al Toon consider becoming a grad assistant for the challenge? He could teach the lads how to go after the ball, and he would be a recruiting asset on the East Coast. I started writing this in jest, but it makes sense--his likely disdain for the position notwithstanding. Why not kick it around?
gaffy gets it. Down here the dbs and WRs agressively go after the ball. Upnorth (except for New Jersey, PA, Ohio, and Illinois), they think about it, which causes hesitation, which causes burns...Ouch! (Especially to the fans' eyes and hearts.).
Down here they want it more. BTW, the high school semis wrapped up on Black Friday. Basketball? What's that?
bucky. Brooks Bollinger
That would kick butt. Where is he this season?
KC,I ain't about waiting so a big "Thank You". It would be a good move and an improvement over the current situation.
Hey Ronnie, you can prepare by watching a couple members of my kayak fishing club, Josh and Linda. This is a fun shark / kayak video (from Good Morning America ABC). No danger from this 30 footer. :
Black tips and hammerheads are a good fight and ride, but a great white, mako, or tiger -- not so much. Have fun out there.
Hey BiB, Congrats to your lovely wife on Bama -- in advance.
gaffy, watched the video clip and am having second thoughts. My lovely wife brought up the fact that she thouggt I was way under insured also.
My very own BB (BamaBride) says:
Thanks. Roll Tide!
p.s.: Tide fans are very understated. They act like they've been there before. The Bear would be proud.
Speaking of the dearth of receivers, is anyone aware that Minnesota's best receiver, A.J. Barker, is looking to transfer and can play immediately because he was a walk-on, as Abby was? He told off Jerry Kill in a 4,000-word diatribe on Tumblr, and said he wanted to play at a school not too far from home.Hide replies
Stay away!
Does sound like trouble, but is he fearless and athletic?
Just a hunch: We have the receivers. The OC needs to adapt to a short passing game with a corps of possession receivers and tight ends (Phillips throws a really accurate short pass.), with big plays coming from backs out of the back field--including one to two screens per game to keep the pass rush honest.
The receivers need to get into their routes faster, and Phillips needs to progress through his reads faster. Perhaps a breakneck pace when practicing the passing game is in order.
I like your hunch buckyinbama. If only Canada could get it figured out by Saturday night.
Who needs Abby when they can continue to run the oh so successful reverse to fullback Watt. First time in my life I've seen a reverse called to a fullback. Ridiculous..Hide replies
That was a very strange play. It reminds of years ago when Bucky blew a game by running a reverse inside the 10--only more so.
I remember thinking "Well, at least the people who gripe about Canada's vanilla play-calling can't complain about that one."
Guess I was wrong.
The problem isn't a lack of creativity. Canada's has been impressive. What he's likely lacking is a central offensive philosophy which serves as a heartbeat and guide for his play calling. He's all over the place, and he's randomly guessing and praying, rather than relying on his intuition. Is that due to his having to placate the boss and fans by running a pro style offense?
If he's the next assistant coach desperately trying to stay out from under the oncoming bus, Canada should just go for it: Let it all hang out son! See what happens! What is there to lose?
Seems a bit hard to develop a central philosophy when its all you can do to plug the leaks in the dam. The month of September was highlighted by an offensive line that couldn't run block or pass block. Remember the struggles to convert a 3 and 1? They seemed to have converted like two in the whole month of September. The line got noticeably better in run blocking but then it was on to breaking in a new starter at QB.
About the time Stave settled in he got hurt. Then it's back to breaking in another new QB. Gone were the deep play-action passes, and on to a rollout based, see and and throw short routes -- all things that Stave was not good at (and they stayed away from). On top of all that, he's also had a line that's missed games from three different starters.
I'm not sold on Canada. The shortcoming of the offense played a central roll in all five losses. That said, he has adjusted and found things that work. Just not enough. I maintain that he could help himself more with the play calling. The offense excels when it features the misdirection running plays, and uses the misdirection. The only unsuccessful misdirection selection was the end around to Watt.
To those who question whether Abby will turn pro after this season, he had better consider one fact long and hard before he makes any decision to jump: The dbs in the League really like to hit. If he decides to stay, he should hit the weight room come January 3rd or whenever the bus from Dane County Regional drops the team off at Camp Randall--and take the rubber hoses Barry's strength and conditioning coach used, give one end to each of the Trotter Bros., have them restrain you, while Knox unpredictably fires passes high and to the side that you must go after. Snare and tuck in one fluid motion. Don't forget to cover the points (2012 Rose Bowl). Make it as natural as the morning biz. The ball is your most prized possession, and 11 guys want to take it from you. Hit the weights, and work on that twice a day.
OK, so I blew my cover (Coach of East German National sprinters (female), circa 1986-1989 (The dates aren't clear due to classes the Democratic Republic made me take at "camp" as a condition of my employment). The bier was to die for, and the fur...Ach!du lieber!Hide replies
BnB, If I may fill in the details you omitted re the female sprinters:
they had hair EVERY where
they didn't know what deoderant was,and
they all sang second bass in the local men's choir
they all liked their beer room temperature. UGH!
Ah, the memories...
bucky. Too funny. I assume golson2 was your teacher at reeducation camp.
Thanks for taking my mind off of yesterday's game!
Does not really matter who shows up the result will be the same, just two more losses to go.
Any Love, Reggie Love sightings? During the Game Against Urban I, I saw him during a timeout on the periphera of the sideline offensive huddle. Is he close to getting a shot, perhaps as our double secret weapon?
Newsflash #3 (see previous posts for #1 & #2): NB can be beaten. We match up well with a healthy D. I feel better about this matchup than I would have if MI made it to CCG.
During the Alvarez Era, The UW had plenty of talented wideouts but usually lacked a quarterback who could get them the ball. Now, there are five talented quarterbacks on the roster--albeit each with strengths and weaknessess--and Monroe Street can't find guys with speed who can catch the ball with reliability. Odd.
BTW, before this post serves as an invitation for everyone to dump on the lack of a quarterback, quarterbacks need to play to develop, and it's usually pretty ugly at first. The kid for USC last night likely will evolve into a star, but he looked bad last night. That's just the way it is.
Phillips needs to develop his game. He's where he should have been two years ago. Imagine what a stud he would have been without the three ACLs. Hell, I love the way he plays now, with heart, courage, and leadership. His decision making needs to get a split second faster, and it will if he's given the chance to develop. Same with Stave, who is a special talent.
OB needs to clear his mind and his psyche. Listen and learn. Visualize himself at the center of each play with flawless execution. Then, the next time he plays, the OC needs to start him with a steady diet of high percentage passes the way Holmgren did with Favre at first. The UW will then have three experienced guns at its disposal, with three talented kids waiting in the wings, assuming the kid from MI follows through with his oral commitment. We're loaded.

Nail designs are a fun and funky way to switch things up, especially when the weather's warm and we're all feeling like some more color, but who on earth has time to painstakingly draw designs on our fingernails? Certainly not us, which is why we're pretty stoked about Sephora by OPI's Chic Prints for Nails ($15). These nail films apply in a snap by simply using the heat from your hand to activate the adhesive on the back with a little friction. Instantly decorate your nails with a wide variety of patterns: lace, geometric, skulls, stars, checkers, and of course, tiger. Rawr!

A pilgrim at the Wall of Sugar Cubes
A place that I often visit whenever I am in Istanbul is Büyükada (Prinkipo), the largest of the so-called Prince (or Prince's, or Princes') islands off Istanbul in the Sea of Marmara. During my recent trip to Istanbul I spent a day on Büyükada with my friend Teri. We explored the southern end of the island, including, of all the places, the vicinity of the garbage dump, where we actually found quite a number of snails.
On our way back, we were on a dirt path heading towards the Monastery of Aya Yorgi (Ayios Yeoryios or Saint George) at the peak of the highest hill on the island. When it turned out that the trail wasn't going all the way up to the monastery but continuing along the western slopes of the hill, Teri decided that if we wanted to catch the next ferry boat back to Istanbul, we needed to leave the trail, climb up the hill and take a shortcut down from there. So we pushed our way thru the bushes and over and around the rocks.
When we reached the top, we found ourselves in front of a vertical cliff, blackened with soot and covered with little white objects. On close inspection, they turned out to be sugar cubes stuck to the rock with what appeared to be candle wax. Obviously, this was a rock frequented by the visitors to the monastery. Each cube was a votive offering, representing an expectation of a sweet miracle.
Going around the cliff we reached the front of the Monastery.
The place is a favorite destination on the island, despite the fact that it is at the end of a long steep climb. Infidel snail hunters visit the area looking for clues to the mysteries of evolution. Pious Greeks, and even devout Moslems, on the other hand, seek what they think is a deeper meaning.
Their yearnings remain behind in the form of sugar cubes. Until the next rain storm.

Opinion: Bill Gallagher Was A Cut Above The Rest
News that New Haven's Bill Gallagher died caught me by surprise. You get to thinking that certain members of the bar are immortal, that they will always be there, that their voice will forever be at the other end of the phone, regardless of the day or night. Then they are gone. Just like that.

Retainers in FFXIV: ARR
Your Banking and Auction House NPC
This guide walks you through obtaining your retainers, working with the retainer interface, placing items up for sale on the auction hours, and deploying retainers to different cities. One of the features from the original launch of FFXIV that carried over, albeit with significant changes, to the A Realm Reborn reboot is the retainer system. Your retainers, yes plural, represent your banking and auction house system in A Realm Reborn.
You unlock the rights to retainers during the process of completing the level 17 main storyline quest, The Scions of the Seventh Dawn. During this quest, Minifilia informs you that you have the rights to retain NPC's to help you with your town needs. You don't receive much more information that this and its rather easy to have missed the notice during the cutscene.
Acquiring and Interacting with your retainers
Having achieved the unlock serves no benefits if you do not go out and obtain a retainer. To do this, you must visit the market wards in any of the three major cities. In the market wards, look for the NPC located behind a desk, with the Retainer Vocate tag. Interacting with this NPC provides information on retainers and begins the process of obtaining a retainer.
Note, you can have two retainers from the point Minifilia unlocks the ability. Each one has a customized look and nickname, built in the character creator interface. Once you have built, named, and accepted a retainer, he or she deploys to the city of hire initially. [Note: The name you choose for your retainer will show up on the items you list and sell on the market boards. Keep this in mind when you name your retainer!]
You summon your retainer using the summoning bell. In each of the major cities, the summoning bell can be located in the market ward area. Additionally, a summoning bell is also housed in your inn room. Right click on the bell to begin the summoning process.
Calling your retainer temporarily ceases any auction house work you have assigned. This work resumes as soon as you cease working with them and release them back to their duties. Upon summoning you can add or remove items or gil from your retainer and you can also set up your retainer for auctioning duties.
Your retainers each have seven tabs to store inventory and they can each maintain 20 auction house listings. This gives you fourteen tabs and 40 potential auctions as you level up, more than enough for a fledgling economic empire!
Managing your Auctions
While managing your retainers you have the option to set up items for sale through the retainer. Each retainer can have 20 items listed at a time and each retainer can be assigned to sell form a single city at a time. At this time you can only list sell orders. Given that retainers can hold gil, it is possible we will eventually see a buy order system added.
The auction houses are linked, so the choice of city deployment primarily affects the tax rates. If you don't like the tax rates for your deployed city, check with the Retainer Vocate (the npc above that assigned you the retainer) to see what other options are available!
You can deploy your retainers to different cities directly via the Vocate of that city. Once you have deployed them, they will remain selling at that city. This is regardless of what city you are in, or if you recall them to manage your items! By doing this you can reduce your tax rates substantially!
When you list an item for sale on the retainer, you are given an opportunity to set the price the item will sell for. For stacks of items, this is the per item price. However, the entire stack will list at that price and people must buy the entire stack. Keep that in mind, sometimes its better to split the stack up to smaller chunks (5 to 10) and sell them in smaller quantity.
You don't need to "guess" a good price either. Your retainer gives you the option to view the current listings for that item as well as the history of recent sales of that item. These are accessed from small buttons on the auction UI (see screenshots).
Remember, items listed for sale only reflect what people have listed them for. You are often better served checking the completed sales to get an idea of what people willingly pay. If you find your items are not selling, use the "adjust price" option to check pricing histories, you may need to reduce the prices to get the items to move. Additionally, remember that all T1 and T2 crafting materials are available from NPC merchants. Your prices will, usually, have to fall below those if you want to move goods.

Difficulty sleeping or sleeplessness is also called insomnia it is a sleep disorder that makes falling asleep or staying asleep as long as one likes difficult with the affected person frequently waking up during the night or your normal sleeping period. Often then not being able to get back to sleep.
People who suffer from insomnia suffer difficulty with their memory and have poor concentration and irritability from lack of sleep.
Insomnia is a symptom of another disease or a diagnosis either medical condition or a mental problem.
Some causes of insomnia are breathing problems, pain, cough, drug or alcohol withdrawal, stress, changes in relationships or work are just to name a few problems associated with insomnia.
Some people can relieve sleeplessness by not taking naps during the day, and by eating healthier meals with less stomach upset and exercising or walking after dinner, relaxing in the tub before bedtime to help ease the problems of the day and relax not only their mind but also their body.
According to a WebMd article: 'Regular exercise can help you sleep better.' as well as 'An oatmeal raisin cookie and a glass of milk can help you fall asleep.'

The main topic of debate as BYU prepares for No. 7 seed Oregon at the NCAA Tournament second round in Milwaukee is that without starting forward Kyle Collinsworth -- the No. 10 seed Cougars are as good as done.
The problem is this, according to Deseret News reporter Dick Harmon in his article on Wednesday, March 19. If you look at the brutal non-conference schedule BYU played, it has earned its spot in the Big Dance.
Moreover, even the pundits at ESPN think that BYU deserves to be in the NCAA Tournament over both Pitt and Florida State -- and the latter got the NIT. They did their infamous "Blind Resume" test. When it was revealed that they preferred the Cougars -- they quickly backtracked on their selection of BYU over the other two schools.
But like most national media, not everyone is sold on BYU's promise. The Web site Utah Sports Ruckus says that BYU got "pretty excited" when it learned it was back in the Big Dance -- so it will be one-and-done for the Cougars.
BYU head coach Dave Rose disagrees with that statement, instead preferring to make a statement of his own before his 23-11 Cougars practiced at the BMO Harris Bradley Center Wednesday morning.
"These guys deserve to be here," Rose said at a press conference. "If you had spent five months with our team, you'd have a whole different interpretation, or feeling, about our team."
The feeling about BYU's team in the national media is that the Cougars are overmatched, undersized, lack talent and overall not NCAA Tournament-worthy.
Later this week, the Cougars will have their opportunity to change a few hundred minds.

Apple's annual iPhone release announcements consistently shape up to be one of the biggest events for the smartphone market, and this year looks to be no different.
The company is expected to announce information about the new iPhone within the next few months, and the new phone is already known to feature improvements to the processor, fingerprint sensor and camera. While Apple traditionally keeps most information about upcoming product launches under wraps, a good deal of reports have already circulated online about what to expect in the next iPhone release. Here are some of the rumors circulating as well as an estimated probability of each rumor being true.
95 Percent Chance: The new series line will be named iPhone 6
Since the iPhone 4, Apple has kept a consistent naming pattern for its phones. The company released numbered updates every other year with the iPhone 4 in 2010 and the iPhone 5 in 2012. The company isn't expected to break the pattern and will most likely release this year's model as the iPhone 6.
80 Percent Chance: Apple plans to debut a larger iPhone with a new screen resolution
Most of the recent leaks involving the new iPhone suggest that the screen will get larger, but the exact size is still unclear. Several reports indicate that Apple is testing out a larger, 5.5-inch iPhone while other sources point to 4.7 inches. If either rumor is correct, the larger screen may drastically change things for the iPhone going forward, with the biggest implication involving its resolution.
Apple could keep the same dimensions as the iPhone 5 models, but a larger screen operating at the same resolution would mean the phones would no longer be within Apple's Retina capability. While this change would be the most simple because it does not require changes in apps to function on a larger screen, the loss of Retina would mean the display would be less crisp and look more like pre-Retina displays such as the iPhone 3GS and older.
The more likely scenario is that Apple would change the phone's resolution just as it did with the larger screen on the iPhone 5. When Apple switched to the 1136 X 640 resolution in the iPhone 5, app developers had to release updates to change resolutions. While apps without the update will continue to function, those apps will only use part of the screen.
60 Percent Chance: Apple will release multiple models similar to last year's iPhone 5C/5S debut
While Apple released multiple model iPhones last year in order to offer a cheaper version in the 5C and a more expensive premium version in the 5S, the struggling sales of the 5C make it less likely that Apple will continue this strategy.
However, Apple may have a different reason for offering multiple models rooted in the rumored larger phone. Conflicting reports on the size of the next iPhone may be occurring because Apple may release two versions of the iPhone 6, one with a 4.7-inch display and another with the larger 5.5-inch screen.
It's possible that Apple plans to offer different sized iPhones to better compete with Samsung. Currently, Samsung sells two different Galaxy smartphone models: the normal-sized S series as well as the larger Note series phones, stylized as "phablets," or devices with features in-between phones and tablets. It's possible that Apple's phablet iPhone could be delayed until the holiday season or even into the next cycle.
40 Percent Chance: The iPhone 6 will be announced as early as June
Some reports suggest that Apple is aiming for an announcement of their next-generation iPhone at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference in June. The company announced iPhone updates at the conference up to the iPhone 4, but new iPhone models since then have been unveiled between September and October due to manufacturing delays.
If Apple does indeed unveil a bigger or thinner iPhone requiring a new battery, that product most likely will come after WWDC. This rumor would make the most sense if Apple plans to debut two iPhones this year, with the smaller of the two models being announced at WWDC and the larger "phablet" phone coming later in the year.
20 Percent Chance: Apple will release biometric EarBuds to monitor heart rate
A leaked report earlier this month suggested that Apple will incorporate biometric sensors in the next version of its EarPod headphones that come standard with the iPhone. The new earbuds could detect a user's heart rate and would interface with the Healthbook app launching with iOS 8. However, the author of the report indicated a few days later that the information was fabricated.
While that particular report turned out to be a hoax, the rumor had some believability because of patents filed by Apple in the past. Still, with no corroborating leaks suggesting the existence of this feature, it's unlikely to be included with the iPhone 6.
50 Percent Chance: The iWatch will be released this year alongside the iPhone 6
The rumor of the existence of an iWatch, a watch that interfaces with the iPhone, has been kicked around for years. Many tech experts expected a release last year to complete with Samsung's Galaxy Gear smartwatches, but 2013 came and went without a release.
While it's not certain if Apple is even developing a smartwatch, Samsung's own foray into smartwatches last year failed to meet expectations, and its $300 price tag alienated some potential customers. Samsung released the Gear 2, a second version of its smartwatch, to mixed reviews and limited fanfare last month.
It's possible Apple learned from Samsung's mistakes, made changes and will release its own version this year, but rumored manufacturing issues make a 2014 release far from certain.
50 Percent Chance: Apple will raise the price of iPhone 6
According to Jefferies analyst Peter Misek, Apple wants to raise the price of its new iPhone models by $100. The price increase could give Apple more flexibility to create a phone with enough features and innovation to differentiate from other smartphones.
However, Misek also said carriers are hesitant about a price increase, especially if consumers who have to shell out an extra $100 for an iPhone decide to turn to less expensive Android and Windows Phone devices. The proposed price change appears to still be in the negotiation stage, so it's still up in the air as to whether or not the price will change.
100 Percent Chance: The phone will launch alongside iOS 8
Apple has in recent years used its annual WWDC to debut advancements of its iOS and OS X operating systems, and that won't change this year. While iOS's official reveal will come next month, its release will coincide with the release of the next iPhone. Some already leaked features include split-screen multitasking on iPad, a Healthbook app and improvements to the Maps app.
40 Percent Chance: The next iPhone will feature optical image stabilization for higher resolution photos
When Apple last month hired Ari Partinen, the former photography lead at Nokia, the company took a big step towards improving the camera on iPhones, which underwhelms compared to Nokia's 1020.
Partinen's contributions likely won't be seen until 2015 at the earliest, but Apple may have another camera improvement planned for the iPhone 6. Patent applications by Apple suggest the company plans to add hardware that enables the phone to take photos with optical image stabilization. The hardware would allow the camera on the phone to take photos with a higher quality and resolution while retaining 8 megapixels like the iPhone 4S and newer.
While Apple wants to improve its camera, there's a strong possibility that it may save any major overhauls for future iPhone models. Adding the hardware for optical image stabilization as described in the patent application could make the phone bulkier, which would contradict the thinner approach Apple seems to be taking. While Apple will probably make some improvements to the camera, those improvements seem less likely to feature a major hardware feature like optical image stabilization.
30 Percent Chance: the new iPhone will come with updated EarPods
Apple's rumored acquisition of Beats indicates its looking to bring more life into its music features, which have lost ground to competitors like Spotify and Pandora. It's likely that Apple will add high-definition audio playback in iOS 8 in an effort to jump start its music business.
Apple will need to couple better audio playback with the right hardware to take advantage of the new feature, and it's possible they'll upgrade the EarPods that come standard with iPhone 5 series phones. However, such an upgrade may be too expensive to come standard with all iPhones, and the most likely route Apple will take is to update its premium in-ear headphones or release new headphones under the Beats brand.
60 Percent Chance: Apple will equip its iPhones with Near Field Communication
Much like the long-rumored iWatch, many tech specialists expected Apple to add NFC support to its iPhones years ago. NFC, or Near Field Communication, is a communications system that transmits data by "bumping" two supported devices together. Another major feature of NFC is the ability to use it as a mobile payment system where users could tap their phones to send money.
This year may be the year Apple adds this functionality according to a report by Brightwire. The report states that Apple secured a deal with China UnionPay that will allow users to make payments on the next-generation iPhone. Apple also filed a patent application in January for NFC, which supports the rumored agreement.
