Apple iPhone 5 interface walkthrough
0. phoneArena 12 Oct 2012, 05:32 posted on
The iPhone 5 is the first iPhone with a screen larger than 3.5 inches. Because of this, both Apple and developers have had to tweak their software so that it takes advantage of the bigger display. But while it'll certainly take some time for developers to update all their apps, Apple has of course made sure to optimize its software. What changes has the new screen size caused? Well, it'd be a bit of an overstatement if we say that there's anything groundbreaking, but the phone has certainly become even more functional and easy to use because of this...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

iFans aren't exactly known for being tech savy, that's why they buy apple's novelties.

You need it for those people who mistakenly buy a Samsung Galaxy S phone thinking it was a iPhone. And I did not say that. It was the Apple lawyers. :P

Best walkthrough ever Ray...
Especially picture #9 where facebook and Twitter integration is a huge advantage for me to pick an iPhone :D
15. rgxVOiD (Posts: 440; Member since: 30 Aug 2012)
Yup, as I've never seen that feature before in any other phone...
21. wendygarett (unregistered)
Actually you can find it in Windows phone and RIM phones, several android phone also have that...
Nice try for sarcastic... But you can't change my mind to choose iPhone :)

nobody is trying to change your mind because no one cares what you have or choose mr wendy
but stop the constant trolling

5. doejon (Posts: 398; Member since: 31 Jul 2012)
lol are u serious haha the oldest gui and still need a walkthrough haha
6. ilia1986 (unregistered)
Wait wait wait.
Dozens if not hundreds of Android devices come all the time with different user interfaces and different screen sizes. NOT A SINGLE ARTICLE on phonearena ever dealt with a walk-through on ANY of them. Despite the fact that the difference in user experience between one Android device and another is like night and day.
Yet the one single time Apple makes a new phone with THE SAME User interface, and just a slightly taller screen - phonearena immediately makes a walk-through article about it.
Where is the goddamn logic and common sense? This is just absurd! Why give in to this bias? Why not treat the iPhone in the same way like every other phone out there? What makes it so special? The fruit logo on it's back?
7. doejon (Posts: 398; Member since: 31 Jul 2012)
realy nice comment
16. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
Android users are more intelligent and they don't need a guide at all and any amount of walkthroughs on IP will never make them switch :)
29. ilia1986 (unregistered)
lol well that kinda explains it :D
Still - there is wayyy too much bias towards Apple on this site.
30. darkkjedii (Posts: 21218; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
No where n his short article did he mention one thing about android users switching. Also before u run off at the mouth know this, a sex offender got caught cuz he used the GPS on his android phone that he had newly purchased, and used his camera to photo and video himself with his victims. So if that's what some android users r using their extra intelligence for, then I want to remain less intelligent.
42. Jobes (Posts: 364; Member since: 27 Oct 2011)
LOL!!! So now you are associating Android users with sex offenders? There couldnt possibly be an iPhone sex offender in the world could there??? You are trying way too hard.. This article is not required nor is your comment in any way useful in an argument the only part of your comment that holds any water is the part where you say "I want to remain less intelligent" Im not one to toss comments like this but seriously lol pointless for you to associate sex offenders with people who use Android.
46. darkkjedii (Posts: 21218; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
You totally and 100% completely missed my point please go back and reread my article reread it 1000 times because you missed my point a 1000 times
47. Jobes (Posts: 364; Member since: 27 Oct 2011)
"No where n his short article did he mention one thing about android users switching"
That was your key point.. so why didn't you just keep it to the point rather than go into the sex offender bs? Its off topic.. and moot to bring up.
"before u run off at the mouth know this, a sex offender got caught cuz he used the GPS on his android phone that he had newly purchased, and used his camera to photo and video himself with his victims."
Read this a few times and tell me its relevant. If it was someone who happened to note it was an iPhone do you think it would be somewhat offensive to people who own iPhones such as yourself and would you find it necessary for someone to throw iPhone users under the bus and make baseless claims if the tables were turned??
48. darkkjedii (Posts: 21218; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Bro I can't believe u r still missing the point lol. That's crazy dude. Look I didnt mean to offend anyone n the droid camp. Some one that I replied to said android users were more intelligent than iOS users. Well that particular a droid user wasnt. That's my point. I swear I didn't meant to offend droiders. My best friend is a droider and one of the best people I know.
51. Jobes (Posts: 364; Member since: 27 Oct 2011)
There are people in both camps who are intelligent and also ones who are stupid and very fanboy oriented so pay no mind to rustic hes just trolling. I don't bother with the people who pull the smarts card defending their OS.. its just an OS everyone has a preference but don't get offended when they say iOS fans are stupid because for them to even say that is stupid to begin with. Ill say there's far too much hype for said brand because lets get serious.. its cult like lol. I can say I dislike those people but it has nothing to do with their intelligence.. its more so blind love for a company that bothers me. For anyone to say Apple does NOT overcharge for their services and says they are NOT a greedy company needs to get their eyes checked.. and head checked. I have no problem with people who love their iPhones.. just the ones who think its the best thing since sliced bread and are SOOO amazed by "new innovative additions to iOS" when its services already given and have been given by other companies (not solely Google or Samsung) but other companies for quite some time. Normal Joes and Janes using the iPhone because they like it is great by all means enjoy them I personally have owned a 4 and 4s and been in the Android camp since the OG Droid its just that rabid Apple zealot mentality that annoys the hell out of me. Sorry for the rant prolly off on a tangent lol was just taking a breath from work. ;)
52. darkkjedii (Posts: 21218; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Good post bro. Had to thumb that up. I agree, I hate the brash bashers from both camps also. It's just an OS for crying out loud.
54. Jobes (Posts: 364; Member since: 27 Oct 2011)
Thumbs right back atcha. Both groups need to just chill a bit.. including the companies in regards to petty lawsuits.. man up and just put out products so your consumers can enjoy them eh lol.
49. darkkjedii (Posts: 21218; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
And for the record I own iPhone and android bro
57. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
In case you were in too much of a hurry to strike back, my statement was a reply was to "ilia1986" so you missed the bus :)
65. darkkjedii (Posts: 21218; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Ok my bad
31. darkkjedii (Posts: 21218; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Good, bad, smart, dumb, criminals, and non criminals use android and iOS and windows and Symbian and BB. Pointless insults r unnecessary when u don't know all, or speak for all people bro. Jus sayin.
41. yoyo93 (Posts: 34; Member since: 23 Sep 2012)
It's this kind of attitude that makes me hate the android community. Really?, Android users are more intelligent? My bus driver uses an android phone while my circuits professor uses an iPhone. It's all about preference not intelligence.
44. darkkjedii (Posts: 21218; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
That's true, but I'm a bus driver with an iPhone too lol. Preference is what it's all about ur rite.

Should've just linked to a walkthrough article made for the iPhone in 07..... same thing
10. xray174 (Posts: 85; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
man this most be boring watching the same damn icons for 5 years.. Or u trying to show us that ios hasnt changer much in 5years .
11. LumiaLover (Posts: 160; Member since: 27 Sep 2012)
Boring boring boring...it never changes. Apple are pushing out the same old garbage boring, uncustomisable UI. Not to mention launching such an expensive phone in full knowledge of the faults. Apple don't care about anything or anyone...just their profits. I find it really sad that Apple fans can't see this, and when I see pictures of the first people coming out of stores whooping and cheering like they've just made an incredible achievement, it makes me want to puke.
13. darkkjedii (Posts: 21218; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Nice walkthrough ray. There's some sweet additions in iOS 6. I love the do not disturb feature, didn't think I'd use it. That feature alone has improved my sleep big time. Love the fact that its automatic too. Also the deep Facebook, and twitter integration is sweet too, makes it a lot easier to handle my posting needs and keep doing what I'm doing. Looking forward to iOS 6.1.
23. nofear (Posts: 151; Member since: 22 Jun 2012)
Da! put your phone on silence mode. done.
27. darkkjedii (Posts: 21218; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Duhhh that was my point in mentioning it being automatic dude. I don't want to have to manually put my phone in silent and manually turn the sound back on. I notice in the iPhone gnote2 comparison that Samsung has implemented this future also, so duhhhh

Guys ios 6 is not bad at all. I can't believe that widgets and few moving LWPs are luring you towards android. Maps is getting better and will awesome In a year, bugs will also be fixed. Ios has the largest music store on the planet and that is iTunes, cool apps and games come first to ios and then they come to android. Ios has an awesome apps store with a huge number of apps. Ios games have better gpu optimization then. Infact ios devices have the best graphics on a mobile device. Ios is fast, super fluid and user friendly. Though I must accept the UI needs a refresh. Ios has deeper fb and twitter integration than the competition.
20. darkkjedii (Posts: 21218; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Well said bro. I don't even know y folks wanna make it a competition, when these OS's obviously cater to two different crowds android for techies, iOS for mainstream and a few like myself like both. The insults, and bashing people for their choice is soooo tired, and unnecessary
25. TROLL (banned) (Posts: 4851; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
Wisely and well said! +1
32. Aeires (unregistered)
Except they don't. There's no way on earth you're going to convince people that 60%+ of the population with smart phones are all techies. Techies are a minority.
People buy Android for the openness and freedom of customizing your phone to be the way you want it to be, and for the Google experience, which some prefer much more than iTunes. It's not all just LWP and widgets, it's a lot bigger than that.
I do agree, both phones cater to different crowds. It's just not techies vs. the rest though.
33. darkkjedii (Posts: 21218; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Your rite, it's not just techies vs the rest that was kinda generalizing it, but u see where I'm coming from though. iOS needs a refresh... I'm the first to admit that, but its designed the way it is for a reason and that reason is simplicity geared towards mainstream usage, where as android is geared towards the more tech based crowed. Even android is starting to simplify its OS though, and attracting more people as a result. In general as things become easier to use, more people catch on and use it. iOS has purposely designed its platform this way, and has phenomenal success as a result. Better than android? No, less than android? No, jus different by design, not incompetence.
18. Savage (unregistered)
A mobile operating system which has had next to no major UI changes since the past 5 years does not need a walkthrough. Not to mention, its the easiest to use. The real point of writing the article? Trying to desperately glorify an over-hyped device and its relatively smaller amount of new features.
19. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Ray, it's painfully obvious that you did this only as an excuse to lash out the iPhone praise in a cheer girl manner.. seriously degrading this site.
22. darkkjedii (Posts: 21218; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
It's painfully obvious that, that's your opinion dude. This guy is at work earning a living, this is what he does. I've seen PA praise android, and windows as well As iOS. Why don't you just allow the iPhone and iOS to be part of the tech world and part of the tech sites just like android Windows BlackBerry Symbian and Motorola are. It's obvious painfully obvious that you probably hate iOS and iPhone but like it or not iOS and iPhone are part of the tech world and it deserves it's time and it's exposure just like android just like BlackBerry just like windows and just like all these other platforms and phones do as well. I enjoy reading pieces on iOS I enjoy reading pieces on android I enjoy reading pieces on windows as well as all of tech you need to realize that there are a lot of iPhone and iOS fans that come on this site just like you and they deserve just like you to read about their chosen platform also
24. darkkjedii (Posts: 21218; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Also you said that it's seriously degrading this site. This site is built to take on users and users opinions and users comments, don't you think it would seriously degrade the site if they completely shut down any discussion about Apple iPhone iPad iPod and iOS? Don't you think if all of a sudden the millions of Apple and iOS fans that visit this site every day never came to it don't you think that would Seriously degrade the site. This site is a business dude you need to understand that this site is in the business of tech and iOS/iPhone is part of tech you don't want to lose millions of people because a few disgruntled android users don't want to read about iOS. If you don't want to read about iOS then just don't click on the article, But we know you're going to click on the article because you just want to insult Apple users and bash Apple and iOS so we know you're going to click on article
35. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
You couldn't be more wrong about me.
And it is painfully obvious you are pretty clueless and naive.
IOS is one polished, elegant, charming, warm and subtle looking piece of software.
For majority of casual users it is a great, probably the best experience IMHO.
Overall, I say(and I said it on the day of release also ) it is probably the best apple product yet (along with the latest iPod touch and Mac book pro ), really a triumphant piece of technology, design, and construction .
For average person it is hands down the best phone right now..if we take aside the value for money ratio.
How about that, eh?
You have a lot to learn my friend.
37. darkkjedii (Posts: 21218; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Wowww bro! I stand corrected, IF those r your true thoughts, and I don't know u to say that they aren't.
38. darkkjedii (Posts: 21218; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
But how is it degrading the sight though?
45. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Come on, dude,
a) just look at how it is written - wonderful this wonderful that..completely unprofessional, especially in the context of the article
b) making an Iphone 5 OS walkthrough at this point, after more than three weeks ?!?
EVERYTHING has been said and written about that, across hundreds of web pages in short few days after the release
50. darkkjedii (Posts: 21218; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Ok I give u unnecessary, but not degrading. Cool?
55. TheDarkKnight (banned) (Posts: 88; Member since: 12 Oct 2012)
Don't get ur hands dirty arguing with these guys, darkkjedii. They are droid fans, they have been hypnotized by google. They can't be neutral like us.
56. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
mate why , your comment is unnecessary and just you trying to stir up something
no ones been hypnotized by google, and darkkjedi and you arent neutral
58. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
I am looking at the "dark" side of their neutrality. Incidentaly (or coincidently) both neutral individuals have "dark" in the screen name ... :)

Downton Abbey fans, it's begun - the journey to series five starts here with this sneak peak.
As we get a guide of sorts around the famous stately home, Mr Carson, played by Jim Carter, acts as our guide as he promises "things are changing" on the period drama.
The booming butler's voice is heard saying: "I feel a shaking of the ground I stand on.
"The nature of life is not permanence but flux. Things are changing."
It all sounds incredibly exciting - but no other hint is given.
A falling petal by the window, bells ringing, a servant moving upstairs, a table being laid and a look at the stunning home itself...and that's that.
At least we know the "life is not permanence" line isn't about another death - or so we hope.
After the shocking deaths of Matthew Crawley on Christmas Day 2012 - we're still not over it - and Lady Sybil a few months earlier, bosses have apparently banned any major characters meeting their maker this time round.
Lesley Nicol - who plays Mrs Patmore - said: "There aren't any plans for any big characters to die this year.
"There has been such a big fuss in the past, especially with Matthew Crawley. I think it would be very unwise to do any more deaths because the viewers don't like them."

Our subject this week is...Stairs, going up, coming down, from behind!
A metal spiral staircase at Singapore Museum, it was closed to public for as long as I can remember, with so many ghostly stories that comes with it. Not sure if it's true though.
Colorful tiled stairs in Katong area.
Broad stairways leading toward Marina Bay Boardwalk.
Going down the spiral staircase of a light house, located in an offshore island out of bound to public except for invited guests during Maritime Week.
A long way up the staircase, at Sentosa Boardwalk.
A spiral staircase at HortPark Garden.
I saw this newly painted staircase at the Woodland Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station, it was in between the escalators. I can't resist taking photos of it, at the same time exercising my legs.

Wayne Rooney has not dominated the international stage in the manner once hoped of England's bull-necked tyro, but the desire to impose himself on a World Cup finals remains an obsession and Roy Hodgson believes that brilliance in Brazil is not a futile quest. He also has empathy for the striker because of the millstone that he carries with him.
Brazilian history and fervour should inspire footballers in 2014 and, as the England manager put it, "Wayne could thrive here on this stage. He's a great player, a player who decides games, and he could be one of the stars

FINAL: UMass 102, La Salle 63.
Lasme's triple double leads the way: 17 points, 10 rebounds, 10 blocks.
Freeman scores 20 points and grabs 12 rebounds.
Life nets 17, with 5 rebounds
Brandon Thomas had 11 points.
10 for Ricky Harris and 9 for Luke Bonner.
:39 - UMass 102-61. Huge ovations for Lasme, Life, and Freeman as they leve Jack Leaman Court for the last time.
And there it is!!! Lasme's 4th triple-double of the season. The 3rd player in NCAA history to do so. Ford immediately takes him out to a standing ovation.4:36 - UMass 95-53. La Salle starting to heat up from outside. Like it matters. You wouldn't think so, but there is some mounting suspense as we wait for Lasme to grab his 10th rebound.
9:23 - UMass 83-35. Bonner sinks back-to-back threes. I think the students were getting anxious about the possibility that Travis Ford had decided to rest Stephane Lasme for the rest of the game. Lasme currently has 14 points, 9 blocks, and 9 rebounds. The students began chanting "Put in Lasme!" and after a couple minutes Ford did as they requested.
11:39 - UMass 75-34. Ricky Harris gets a big hand from the fans. He got his legs taken out from under him while going up for a defensive rebound, and banged the back of his head hard on the court. He was slow getting up, but walked it off. The very next possession, he drained a three like nothing had happened. Guess he's OK.
16:45 - UMass 67-30. No sign of slowing down for the Minutemen. Forbes and Lasme are getting more involved offensively now. Lasme has another sensational reverse slam, similar to the one earlier this year vs. BC. The Minutemen are looking very fast, and very good. They also have just 8 turnovers, which is a pretty good number considering the constant fast pace of the game.
Halftime: UMass 55, La Salle 23. No, that's not a typo. Looks like the gameplan tonight was to give the fans 40 minutes of showtime as a final send-off for the season. Truly an amazing display of offense, and some pretty good defense on display as well.
UMass is 21-36 from the field, and Rashaun Freeman already has 16 points in 8-9 shooting. Stephane Lasme had 8 blocks in the half. Yes, eight. He also has 6 points and 5 rebounds, so a record-tying 4th triple-double of the season seems all but inevitable.
2:50 - UMass 45-17. This is just a good old-fashioned ass-kicking. 14 points so far for James Life, and 12 for Freeman. Brandon Thomas is getting big playing time and making the most of it, with 7 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists. Gary Forbes has seen very little action thus far: only 4 minutes of playing time.
7:57 - UMass 34-16. There seems to be a lot of confusion amongst the Minutemen, for some reason. A lot of pointing and telling each other who to guard, and Ford shouting assignments from the bench. The shouting is nothing new, really, but all the rest of it is out of the ordinary. UMass is really, really pushing the tempo in the game, pressing defensively and offensively, so maybe all the confusion is in connection to that. It only strikes me as odd because things are going so well for the Minutemen.
12:58 - UMass 23-8. The Minutemen are 9-13 from the field to start the game. Freeman had 5 rebounds in the first 5 minutes.
15:43 - UMass 16-2. Wow! The Minutemen are blazing out of the gates tonight. Looks like James Life's shooting slump is over: he's already got 8 points on a pair of treys and a fast break layup. This one is already looking like a bona fide rout.
P.S. There's a scout from the Toronto Raptors in attendance tonight. Must be pretty interested in someone if they're scouting games against one of the weakest teams in the league.
17:21 - UMass 9-2. Maybe showing some nerves, Matt Pennie loses the ball on UMass' first possession. No worries, though, because the next time down, the Minutemen execute a perfect clear-out for Brandon Thomas, who drives right-side for the jam. After that, back-to-back baskets by Rashaun Freeman and a trey by James Life.
Third surprise of the night: Not a total shocker, but as suspected, Travis Ford is starting his seniors: Pennie, Thomas, Life, Freeman, Lasme. Who's the best ball-handler in this group? My money's with Pennie.
Second surprise of the night: On the video screens, the US National Anthem performed by... Rashaun Freeman! And it's really good! We knew he could sing, but this is still a nice surprise. Ray is looking at the floor during the song, but as it wraps up he has a big grin on his face as his teammates pat him on the back and congratulate him.
First surprise of the night: the flag of Gabon is lowered from the rafters and the Gabonese National Anthem is played over the loudspeakers. Stephane Lasem, who is from Gabon, looks genuinely surprised.
Senior Night Ceremony
Team manager Paul Cavanaugh introduced first.
Next is Matt Pennie, introduced with his family and remembered most for his 3-pointer against Temple on ESPN last year. He gets a nice round of applause. The players are receiving flowers and framed jerseys.
Brandon Thomas: Over 700 points in his college career.
James Life: 8th in 3-pointers made and 7th in 3-pointers attempted.
Stephane Lasme: Huge round of applause as PA announcer George Miller lists Lasme's incredible list of accomplishments over the past couple seasons in particular.
Freeman: The team's leading scorer the past 4 years. 5th leading scorer and 3rd in rebounding. Do we need to say any more? He's earned a spot on the "first-name basis" list in UMass lore. Just say "Rashaun" any time in the future, and everyone will know exactly who you mean.
The pre-game festivities kick off with the UMass drum corps taking the court and, well, drumming. And good god it is loud.
We're live courtside for tonight's game against La Salle. More importantly, it's Senior Night. Stay tuned for live updates and commentary of the ceremony honoring UMass' five seniors, and then the game.
My big question of the moment: Will Travis Ford make the symbolic gesture of starting his 5 seniors? That would make for one wacky lineup, and I'm all for it.

Developers Steve and Victoria Hyman may be adversaries of the city of Jersey City for their plans to develop the disputed 6th Street Embankment, but mayoral hopeful Jerry Walker can count the two as supporters.
Walker received $5,500 from the Hymans in support of his bid to unseat Mayor Jerramiah Healy on Tuesday, May 14, according to campaign finance documents made public today.
Walker's campaign was more than three weeks late submitting the documents to the state Election Law Enforcement Commission. The records cover January through March, the first three months of Walker's campaign to win the city's top job.
The Hymans have been at the center of a protracted legal battle with the city for eight years over the embankment, a half-mile stone structure that formerly carried seven rail lines. The Hymans purchased the property from Conrail in 2003 for $3 million and seek to develop it, but city officials, who want to create a park on some of the property, contend Conrail should have given them first crack at buying the lot.
The Walker campaign's financial records show it raising $47,615 and spending $29,122 in the three-month period starting in January, when Walker announced his bid for mayor.
$4,350 of that is from Walker himself, his two at-large City Council candidates, and an individual with the same last name as his Ward D candidate, Grace Giron.
The campaign names 22 donors -- it is not required to name donors unless they give over $300 -- with over half listing addresses outside Jersey City, one as far Jupiter, Fla. At least $14,200 came from these donors, though $13,000 in donations came from donors with no documented home address.
Walker's campaign slogan is "People Before Politics," and he's pitching himself to voters as the only mayoral candidate in the race, which includes Councilman Steve Fulop and Abdul Malik, who cares about the future of the city.
Walker's campaign is sitting on an $18,493 war chest. By comparison, Healy and Fulop have raised over $2 million total, while Fulop has $285,752 at his disposal and Healy has a $140,876 campaign kitty.
Documents showing the campaigns' fundraising and spending efforts since April 15 were due to ELEC last week and are set to be made public tomorrow.

Don't U 4get About Me..it's The '80's Again, step back into the future and talk about what was
Aug 23 2006, 10:09 AM
Post #1
I was a child in the 80's, but since I had such a happy childhood, the 80s were the most memorable decade of my life. In 1980 I was 4 years old and by 1989, I was 13 years old. I grew up in the 80s and they were a magical time for me. Everything was larger than life since I was just a little one.
Someone just mentioned "Buffalo Stance." I love that song! It reminds me of the time in middle school when my best friend's cool older sister who was in high school did my hair and made it look amazing. She was playing that song on vinyl (or was it on the radio)? I loved to look through her vinyl. She had all sorts of pop albums, one of which was Belinda Carlisle. I was so jealous. She had the coolest stereo with a record player on it. All my stereo had was a tape deck.
I'm 30 years old now. How old were all of you in the 80s? I think it's interesting to talk about that kind of stuff.
Also, Madonna was the soundtrack to elementary school. I loved Cyndi Lauper...I could go on and on. The 80s were the BEST time for pop music.

Sybarite, you just brought a flood of memories back to me about High School Pep Rallies and Rob Bass & DJ EZ Rock, It Takes Two. Nothing like that late 80's sound, really.
Van Halen 1984 still lives. I've got it on vinyl and it still blows my mind what those guys were doing back then.

I love Neneh Cherry, especially Buffalo Stance. I remember when I bought her CD; CDs were still new-ish and it was tiny, about 3-4 inches in diameter. So cool. It was stolen though.
I always divide 80s music into 2 groups: pop such as Duran Duran, New Order, Depeche Mode, INXS (early), Wham!, ABC etc etc, and then late 80s dance stuff: S-Express, Salt n' Pepa, Bomb the Bass, M.A.A.R.S., Soul II Soul.
I love Prince; he's so 80s yet in a category of his own.

I think I saw Jody Watley perform just recently and I told my husband that I remembered she used to be in Shalamar. I used to love her! But she performed just recently in a poncho and a very unflattering hairstyle and makeup set up, so she seemed very different from her formerly polished self; I wasn't sure I remembered her and Shalamar correctly.
I'm like you re the bands, Sunshine....I am still listening to many of the bands you listed; and a few more in their later incarnations...Japan has now become a fascination with David Sylvian's work, for example. But for the most part I'd listen to and love anything you could dance to, like Echo and the Bunnymen, Siouxie and the Banshees, The Smiths (I'll still listen to Morrissey cause I've always thought he was funny, not depressing!)...the Psychedelic Furs, Skinny Puppy...oh brother.
I feel like I need a nap.
On the other hand, Lori Singer is on some fall TV show starting soon. Wish I could remember which one, but the nouns are quickly disappearing....

ferris bueller inspired my senior ditch day,, which I honored by getting a dozen dunkin donuts and watching the Blues Brother (God Bless Them) on tv for the umpteeth million time, and to which reasoning I gave my hs vp when I was caught, by my mother at my bf's house, and drug back to school.
he was cool bc I was honest about it, and let me kinda slide on the punishment.
good times!
recently on tv I caught both fast times and footloose, which then seemed to play over & over again on different channels, like a sign or something. I had forgotten how truly good footlose was,and how pretty I thought lori singer was back then. where is she now?

Art of Noise was pretty good, Mr. FJ. I really dug The Legendary Pink Dots, too.
I could never get enough Bauhaus, Tones on Tail, Love and Rockets, Joy Division or New Order. In fact, I still listen to most of this stuff on a regular basis.

I loved Art of Noise too! Especially that song called Moments In Love, which sounded so much like the Lila Fletcher's Piano Method song, Little Birch Canoe. Or whatever it is called....(they say in your 40's you begin to lose your nouns...forget names...that kind of thing. I, uh, guess it's true). (Also I can't really remember because I was horrifically untalented in piano lessons and that AON tune brought it all rushing back.)
I couldn't get enough of going out to clubs and listening to bands I don't want to list here because I will really, truly, feel old. Oh, and of this one Friday night "ritual" I had with my friends, to meet at a (no longer existant, but amazingly fabulous bar called Bemelman's) for "cocktails".
If Bemelman's were still around, that would be where my John Hughes Film Festival would be held. And we'd show Hairspray and Heathers, too.
I can't wait for Ugly Betty; what a nice way to take the taste of the Devil's Prada out of my system.

I liked Art of Noise. And there was something Foreigner's "I Want To Know What Love Is" that I couldn't get enough of for some reason. I used to listen to the "Footloose" and "Ghostbusters" soundtracks on my walkman incessantly. And "Arena" too by Duran Duran.

I love the cheesiness of 80s TV - Dallas and Dynasty spring to mind.
I would love to throw a huge 80s party with TV and film theme and play nothing but classic 80s songs and TV soundtracks (A-Team!) all night.

I am one of those fools who believes the clothing from the 80's wasn't all bad...as long as you left out the stirrup pants, the teased/sprayed/gelled mall hair, the mixed flourescents/lace/rubber jewellery, acid-washed skintight jeans...
the collar Up polo shirt, and jordash jeans, clogs and Body Lingo jeans !!
I HAD to have a pair of those in 6th grade, I mean HAD TO.
was the only trend I remember physically pining for.
I hated florescent anything though. was actually repelled by it, always knew it was flash in the pan ugly.
and yes, I think a John Hugh's film festival would be wonderful!
hold them all at drive in's & play movie soundtracks & that Flock of Seagulls song and dance dance dance up in front of the big screen.

Freckle, the eighties were the epitome of "doing foolish things with enthusiasm", as you and Collette say. Still, I love all those John Hughes flicks and I think we're all on the verge of a trend of John Hughes Film festivals. At least private ones. So we can once again see the clothes.

she looked good, still those fabulous full lips and the hair, only more mature.
when I realised it was her I nearly spit though.

Audacity and tolerance: Who can imagine Hague publicly lobbying the Falklands' case in Buenos Aires?
An Argentine columnist has found two great virtues: audacity and tolerance in Foreign Minister Hector Timerman current incursion in London to lobby and argue in favour of the most intransigent of Argentina's position on the Falklands' dispute.
"We must acknowledge Timerman audacity to travel to London and display in public the most hard-line position of Argentina in the Malvinas dispute", writes Martin Rodriguez Yebra in La Nacion.
But he also admits and has praise for British tolerance.
"Can anybody imagine what would happen if PM David Cameron or any of his Secretaries (Foreign Secretary William Hague) came to Buenos Aires to argue publicly in favour of some of his 'sabre-rattling' statements on the need to fill the South Atlantic with arms?", asks the Argentine columnist.
In the column under the heading of "A game in which only Britain wins", Rodriguez Yebra argues that Timerman returns to Argentina with not much of a diplomatic advance in the Falkland Islands dispute, but yes for the government of President Cristina Fernandez facing non-sweet moments and for which playing the Malvinas nationalistic chord is a common resource for deteriorating regimes.
Telling UK in London that within 20 years the Falklands will be flying the Argentine flag, calling them 'colonialists', arguing that "not one country" supports UK's position and that the country is going through a deep economic crisis and is isolating itself from the world, is only but a further step to ensure that negotiating the disputed Islands sovereignty becomes impossible.
And in the exchange of intransigent speeches and statements, Britain always wins, since the objective of London is for all to remain unchanged, says Rodriguez Yabra.
According to the columnist Timerman mission had two main objectives: display in rival territory the strong international support for the Argentine position in the dispute.
The other more relevant to weaken the effect of the 'curious' referendum scheduled for March when the 'British inhabitants from Malvinas will vote…if they want to continue to be British"
But so far Argentina, leaving aside 'lip-service', has not managed to increase diplomatic support for the Malvinas cause, maybe except in Latinamerica and some emerging countries. The US remains "neutral" (but with a tacit support of Britain's position) and Europe never questioned (and even supported with EC legislation and aid) UK sovereignty over the Islands.
Furthermore the recent turn in Argentine diplomacy reaching an understanding with Iran on the investigation into a 1994 attack of a Jewish organization in Buenos Aires comes as a surprise: it is a regime sanctioned by the main developed countries, and this can hardly help to make friends on the Malvinas issue.
However Casa Rosada is satisfied with the display the UK media has given to Timerman trip and interview-space to criticize UK policy. The impact was greater because he took the discussion to Parliament even when he denied self determination and insisted Argentina will continue to ignore the people of the Falklands and the March referendum, which also generated reaction among MPs.
To ease tensions after calling MPs 'colonialists', Timerman thanked Britain for its sacrifice during World War II and tried to force the idea that sovereignty dialogue "is possible and necessary'. And on leaving Westminster he made it a point of displaying to photographers the V for victory with his fingers.
But it is a game of two and the British government downplayed the Timerman mission by saying that when Foreign Secretary William Hague meets him, when addressing Falklands' issues political representatives from the Islands should be present.
Argentina could never accept such a condition. With the exception of Menem and Di Tella's years any negotiations on Malvinas can only be bilateral. So dialogue with the UK Government was impossible.
Finally even if the Malvinas issue returns empty handed, there are more imminent and palpable results: this will help President Cristina to revive again the Malvinas nationalistic reflex, a tactic that has always fascinated Argentine governments in moments of bad news and distress.
So given the imminence of the Falklands referendum that has Cristina Fernandez government nervous, "more incidents and episodes of this kind can be expected in the coming weeks", forecasts Rodriguez Yabra.
For PM Cameron, even when the conflict has less impact in his domestic agenda, he can nevertheless enjoy the effects of the efficient propaganda machinery that represents reaffirming the diplomatic, political and military defence of the Falklands.
Thus the need to acknowledge Timerman's audacity to display in London the least negotiable case of Argentina's Malvinas claims. But at the same time British tolerance: can anybody imagine PM Cameron or cabinet members publicly displaying UK's Falklands' case in Buenos Aries?

Cars wait in typically long lines to enter the U.S. from Mexico on the morning that the U.S. population hit the 300 million mark in 2006. The 300 millionth person that day could have been an immigrant crossing the border, a newborn, or someone entering the U.S. by air. The influx and higher birth rate of Latinos has had a big impact on the population growth.
In the world of demographics, next year is a big one. The Census Bureau begins sending out forms to tens of millions of households in the spring to do its once-a-decade count of the U.S. population.
A lot of the numbers likely won't surprise people who have been following demographic trends in America.
The percentage of older people in the U.S. will be higher than ever, given that people are living longer. In fact, I bet percentage-wise the number of people who are 100 and older will be the fastest-growing age group. States in the South and West will continue their considerable population growth while the Midwest and Northeast will maintain their slide.
So let's just move on to the year 2050!
Population projections released this week by the Census Bureau give us an early peek into what the country may look like by the time we've established human colonies on the moon. (It might happen.)
The big headline is this: Because of slowing immigration rates into the U.S. and other factors, whites will continue to comprise a majority of the population until 2050. That is eight years later than demographers predicted.
Now, that projection is dependent on future migration patterns mirroring the levels of recent years.
There are four different scenarios the Census Bureau lays out. But let's just focus on two: low and high net international migration.
Under the low migration model, the U.S. population is projected to be 423 million. The high migration model shows it at 458 million. (We are currently just over 308 million.)
About 124 million Hispanics — the fastest-growing ethnic or racial group — are expected to be living in the U.S. in 2050 in the low migration scenario. That number is 144 million in the high migration model. (There are roughly 47 million Hispanics in the U.S. now.)
The black population doesn't grow much while the number of Asians increases at a steady clip.
If you accept the low migration model, by 2050 about 29 percent of the population will be Hispanic. The number of Hispanics living in America that year will easily exceed the total current population of Mexico.
So what shall we make of all this?
A lot could obviously change in the next 40 years.
What scenario of America would you want to live in come 2050?

UPDATE: Former UW Hospital nurse accused of taking morphine
Posted Friday, June 13, 2014 ---
A former UW Hospital nurse is suspected of stealing morphine intended for patients.
According to UW-Madison Police, 31-year-old Stefanie Jones of Cottage Grove had been diverting drugs from patients in at least 42 different instances. A police and hospital investigation revealed Jones had been getting morphine syringes from a secured machine and replacing them with syringes that contained water or another unknown liquid. She allegedly took the morphine syringes for herself.
Hospital staff became aware of the issue when a pharmacy technician noticed that red tamper-evidence caps on the syringes had been tampered with.
Jones reportedly admitted to hospital staff that she was doing this and taking the drugs for herself, and that she had been doing this since October of 2013. She is no longer employed by UW Hospital.
UW-Madison Police investigators say Jones diverted 42 morphine and hydromorphone syringes for herself, but it is unclear how many patients were affected by her alleged actions. Investigators say Jones recklessly endangered the lives of patients, since drugs meant for their care and pain management were replaced with water or the unknown liquid.
Police arrested Jones on Thursday. She will be charged with 42 felony counts of diversion of drugs and 42 counts of reckless injury.

• Intravenous (IV) acetylcysteine, cysteamine, and methionine treatments were compared in patients with severe acetaminophen poisoning; a control group consisted of patients receiving supportive therapy only. Acetylcysteine proved the safest and most effective mode of treatment. Acetylcysteine was effective in preventing liver damage, hepatic failure, renal damage, and death when given eight to ten hours after poisoning. When treatment was delayed for ten to 24 hours, results were the same as in the supportive-therapy group. The alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity remained normal in 76% of the patients treated within ten hours, as compared with 40% in both cysteamine- and methionine-treated groups and with 16% in the supportive-therapy group. The ingestion-treatment interval for complete protection with all three drugs was eight hours; beyond that time, the incidence of damage increased steadily. After 15 hours, all treatments were pointless. Based on my experience, IV administration is preferable, since nausea and vomiting may limit the effectiveness of oral therapy.

Parents from St. Charles Borromeo's School, in South Philadelphia, aren't sure why two of the Catholic elementary school's most popular teachers have not been asked to return in the fall. What's certain is that they're angry - enough to complain to archdiocesan school officials and join forces in a letter-writing campaign to the pastor.
"It is just a terrible situation," said Edward W. Brown 3d, whose two children are enrolled at the school, at 2019 Montrose St.
Brown said parents learned of the situation two weeks ago when the teachers - Diane Gomez and David Younkin - told their students they might not be back in the fall.

"In less than 30 days at my new residence I noticed the calcium build up on my shower doors and on my supposedly "cleaned" dishes out of the dishwasher. I started to wonder what these mineral deposits were leaving on my linens and worse, what, if any, were the consequences of drinking and cooking with hard water. Chuck's demonstration and explanation of just what using hard water on a day-to-day basis means was enough for me to be sold on making the purchase of the Aqua 2000 water system. No hard sell, just the facts.
The installers were at our home the next day, they were done in a couple of hours without a trace. And Chuck has already made a follow-up visit to ensure the system was working properly. If you don't have time to scrub shower doors everyday, give Chuck a call" … The Jambas

Warning: Don't Buy A Water Filtration System Until You Read This...
There are so many false messages about what type of water system you need and we've quite frankly had enough of it. Most of the stories are cleverly disguised sales pitches with one intent - to pry open your wallet and take as much as they can from you.
For example, beware of the many "water filter comparison" websites out there. If you read the fine print you will see that they distribute the ones they give the best ratings to. Kind of sneaky approach if you ask me. Why not just be up front and to the point? … to their credit, they do state they are distributors – if you dig through their website you will see it buried in the fine print somewhere.
Other companies lead you to believe that they get rid of hard water. The truth is they put in a system that is supposed to alter the chemistry of the minerals in the water to be less obtrusive to your plumbing. That is a good ALTERNATIVE, but why not go with the real thing and get the results that you were hoping for in the first place? You don't need to settle for second best, especially whenyou are paying the same (or in most cases, MORE) money.
We want you to be well educated to make the right decision for you and your family. We also want to help you avoid getting swindled, so here are some things you must know:
Salt Free Water Softeners Don't Work!
"The Truth About Salt Free Water Softeners"
Why Salt Free Water Softeners Don't Work
… they don't remove hardness grains from the water.
Hard water requires more soap and synthetic detergents for home laundry and washing. it also causes scaling on your tiles and shower, spots on your fixtures and your skin to feel dry after you get out of the shower.
While these systems have their place, they DO NOT remove hardness grains from the water. Using a hardness test kit, the incoming water supply remains the same as the water after the system. If you have 20 grains of hardness before the salt-free water softener, you will have 20 grains coming out.
According to the Water Quality Association, the definition of SOFT WATER is:
"Any water which naturally contains less than 1.0 grains per gallon (17.1 mg/L or ppm) of total hardness expressed as calcium carbonate equivalent [Calcium and Magnesium]."
This means that soft water must have less than 1 grain of hardness. Salt-Free water softeners do not remove the hardness from the water, and therefore, do not provide the benefits of truly soft water. With a true water softener, you will end up with 0 grains of hardness.
Soft water is considered to be 0 grains hard:
- Orange County averages 18 grains
- Los Angeles County averages 12 grains
- Ventura County averages 25-30 grains
If you want soft water, your water should be 0 grains hard.
"The City of Anaheim has extremely hard water, so I knew I wanted to purchase a water softener for my home. I did my research and received a couple of high quotes, so I thought I would never be able to afford to purchase one. But then you showed at my door, with an opportunity that I couldn't refuse. My family is now able to have soft water and we are all enjoying the benefits of the West Coast Water Filtration water softener. Thank you for making this purchase so easy for us." … Francisco Morales
California Water Testing
Do you know how many grains hard your water is?
Do you want to know?
We have a 5 minute water test that we will come out and do so you can clearly see what yours is.
Most people are shocked when they see the results of our water testing.
There's only 1 way to remove grains out of the water – through ION exchange. And the only way to do this is by installing a water softener.
Want soft water? Get a water softener. Want hard water – don't get one and deal with all the problems associated with hard water. Don't be fooled by any slick talking salesman, it's really that simple.
Do You Know Why Water Out of Your Refrigerator Filter Doesn't Taste
as Good As Your Bottled Water?
The answer: TDS
According to the EPA less than .05% of the Earth's total water supply is usable fresh water. (Municipal treated city water is considered safe to drink by the EPA and is tested yearly)
Do You Have TDS in Your Water?
What is TDS, where does it come from and why is it important?
TDS stands for Total Dissolved Solids. It is the weight of all the solids in your water. The solids in your water come from:
- Inorganic materials: such as rocks and air that may contain calcium bicarbonate, nitrogen, iron phosphorous, sulfur, and other minerals
- Organic Sources: such as leaves, silt, plankton, and industrial waste and sewage
- Water may also pick up metals such as lead or copper as they travel through pipes used to distribute water to consumers
|Ideal Drinking water from reverse osmosis, distillation, deionization, microfiltration, etc
|Less desirable
|Unpleasant levels from tap water
|EPA's maximum contamination level
Note: When TDS levels exceed 1000mg/L it is generally considered unfit for human consumption. A high level of TDS is an indicator of potential concerns, and should be checked and measured. Most often, high levels of TDS are caused by the presence of potassium, chlorides and sodium. These ions have little or no short-term effects, but toxic ions (lead arsenic, cadmium, nitrate and others) may also be dissolved in the water.
Do You Know What Your TDS Is?
Do You Want to Know What You Are Putting Into Your Body (or your kids)?
We have a free, no-obligation, in home water test where we will analyze your water. It takes 15 minutes to do this. We will:
- Tell you if you have TDS and if you do, what are the implications and solutions available to you
- Measure how many grains hard your water is (if it's 0-4 grains hard, you may not need a water softener)
- Plus we educate you about the water filtration systems available to help you determine the best, most cost effective solution for your unique situation
"When we first moved into our house, we could tell the water had a bad taste. We weren't sure what kinds of water purification systems were available. The purification demonstration in our own kitchen was great. It was an easy decision to purchase the system. The installation was extremely quick and easy. We especially are excited about the line back to the refrigerator giving us pure water and ice. This is where most of our guests get their water and it is great to have the "invisible" line of pure water back to the fridge. We are incredibly happy with our water now. There is no bad taste at all. In fact, our water tastes great. Our new water tap is great and matches the kitchen! Thanks so much for all your help" … Darin and Julie
We do not try to sell any one type of unit. We represent many top manufacturers so we don't try to force some overpriced system down your throat like many of our competitors. Our goal is simply to help you determine what is ideal for you and your family. We are starting a relationship with you for years to come and we want to start off on the right foot. We are on your side!!
If you want objective, no hype, no B.S., pure information, give us a call right now at (800) 834-2882. When Chuck or Jay answer the phone tell them what you want and they can help you over the phone. If you want one of our master water specialists to come and see you we would be happy to set a 15 minute water consultation for you.

Picks and Pans Main: Screen
The Lunatic
A tale of a mixed-up teenage pugilist who is a good kid at heart, Gladiators is an old-fashioned punch 'em-up movie dressed in shiny new boxing trunks and toting a boom box of a sound track. It may seem meaningful and affecting if you're 15 or 16 and still susceptible to films like this, but it will strike anyone older as clichéd and predictable.
James Marshall, who played smoldering James Hurley on Twin Peaks, is disappointingly stolid as Tommy Riley, a brainy high school student—he knows "Mark Twain" is a nautical term—who answers the bell as a way of paying off his recently widowed pop's gambling debts. Drooling over Tommy's Great White Hope possibilities are two promoters, Robert Loggia and Brian Dennehy, a loathsome duo who specialize in pitting white fighters against black, black against Hispanic and creating any other ethnic combinations likely to whet the frenzy of the fans. Inevitably they match Marshall against a black pal, Gooding (impressive in Boyz N the Hood, less so in this throwaway), even though Gooding has been warned by a doctor that another punch to his head could mean risking his life.
What will Tommy do? Something cool but honorable, just as troubled teen movie heroes have been doing since Andy Hardy grew up. Directed by action-film hack Rowdy (Road House) Harrington. Gladiator boasts boxing scenes with jaw-loosening punches and spectacular whomp-whomp-whomp sound effects. As drama, though, the film misses as badly as most of the punches. (R)
Michel Bouquet, Jo de Backer
The unexamined life, Socrates said, is not worth living. Well, Thomas Godet (Bouquet), the surveyor hero of this dark, funny, surrealistic and inexorably moving film, knows a lot about examining his life. It's all he does.
The way Thomas, now 60, sees things, he has been dished out the wrong existence. He's convinced he was switched at birth with the spoiled rich boy next door, whose father, incidentally, he views as responsible for the death of his own beloved dad. The elderly Thomas wants his life back from his boyhood nemesis, now a powerful industrialist. How he goes about laving claim to what he sees as his proper existence is the heart of Belgian director Jaco van Dormael's beautifully performed film about memory, longing and redemption.
Divided into three segments of seamless flashbacks and flash forwards, the movie chronicles Thomas's life as a boy, including his tacit love for his precocious sister Alice (Sandrine Blancke).
Thomas, who as a boy amused himself with the fantasy that he was a heroic secret agent named Toto, maintains the fantasy as an impotently vengeful old man. Plot lines intricately double back on themselves in adroitly ironic twists. The ultimate irony: As Thomas embraces the life he views as rightfully his, becoming the hero of his dreams, he must confront his own mortality. (In French, with subtitles) (PG-13)
Judy Davis, Helen Mirren
Working herself into a comic pique, the peerless Australian export Davis (Barton Fink) is an unlikable, repressed, upper-class Englishwoman, Harriet Herriton, who habitually looks as if she has just been sucking lemons. She is at her most citrus-laced while visiting Italy, sourly telling a group of chattering Italians, "I don't care for the lot of you." She adds, "I'm English," as if this explains everything.
In a way, it does. This literate, tidy period film, an adaptation of E.M. Forster's 1905 novel of the same name, is about the blind insistence of the imperial British on esteeming their culture above all others—and the sometimes tragic-consequences of such ethnocentric pigheadedness. Here the consequences are dire indeed when Davis visits Italy to recover the infant son left behind by a sister-in-law (Mirren) who has died in childbirth. (Earlier in the movie the sister-in-law, widow of Harriet's late brother, creates a scandal by marrying a beautiful Italian youth half her age; he is the baby's father.)
Aided by a first-rate cast that also includes Helena Bonham Carter and Rupert Graves, director Charles Sturridge (Brideshead Revisited) has made a film that is gracefully wry and amusing, even if it errs on the side of preciousness. If Masterpiece Theatre is your cup of tea, haul out your teacup. (PG)
Julie T. Wallace, Paul Campbell
Let it be noted that this self-consciously whimsical trifle may be the first film to boast as its rallying cry, "Pum-pum rules"—pum-pum being Jamaican patois for female genitalia.
Set in Jamaica, this debut film of director Lol Creme, the British ex-rocker (1Occ) turned music video-maker (Herbie Hancock's Rockit), tells the story of a village idiot (Campbell) for whom flora and fauna are frequent conversational companions. When Wallace, a strapping German tourist with lust in her heart and criminal money-making schemes in her head, spies him asleep under his favorite tree and makes him her own, Campbell's life is over and the pum-pum dominion has begun.
There are a few bawdy laughs in the ensuing reign, but not enough. Campbell, a Jamaican actor, is merely personable, While Wallace, a British actress best known stateside (at least to A&E cable watchers) for her fabulously grotesque turn as the She-Devil in the BBC's The Lives and Loves of a She-Devil, goes overboard with her German accent and heavy-handed comic takes.
Wanna bet that the American remake will feature a cheerleader and be called Pom-Pom Still Rules? (R)

How many great things in life began with a simple idea? In fact, how many things in life can you name that DIDN'T begin with an idea?
Ideas are one of the greatest things (if not THE greatest thing) our minds can come up with. And it's such a shame that so many good ideas go unknown, unnoticed, and unrealized simply because they weren't shared. It doesn't matter whether it's an idea for an invention, a better way of doing business, a way we could all treat each other better, ways our government could improve it's function.... any strides we will make toward the best quality of life in Cordova will begin with an idea.
Town Meeting has been a great place for people to share ideas, and we've
seen the results.
-- Years ago, an organization had an idea to make funds available for a community to develop a community facility, and we shared that idea on the show. Some local folks were listening, and got the idea to apply for those funds. As a result, we have Children's Memorial Park behind the library/museum.
-- Not long ago, someone had the idea that road signs to warn people to SLOW DOWN when approaching the crosswalks that go across the highway at the intersection by the High school should be erected. They voiced that concern on Town Meeting. Within a few days, the red and white signs you see up there now were put in place.
-- After some road work was done on the section of the highway leading from the high school up to main street, the guard rail protecting the house next to the ball field was not replaced. Someone decided that was a BAD idea, and called town meeting to voice their concern, saying that for the safety of those homeowners, and our drivers, the guard rail needed to be put back in. Soon afterwards, it "reappeared".
In running your local radio stations, I am STRONGLY influenced by the ideas we get from listeners. Whether it's adding new programming, dumping bad programming, improving existing programming, you name it -- ideas from the audience are GOLD. I remember when I first got here, I used to read the tides incorrectly. Someone called to help me, and I fixed it. Did you know that the Tradio program came from a listener idea? I didn't think of that! It was a member of the audience!
Whether you call in an idea, or write it in an email, don't just sit on your good ideas and smother them. Let them out and see how big a difference they can make.
(NOTE: if you're going to voice your idea in the form of a complaint, you might want to check the complaint section of this special section of the website for experienced-based advice on how to complain effectively without being a jerk :-)
These presentations can vary so widely that it's early impossible to provide any kind of fill in the blank helper form. If you'd like a skeleton form, look through some of the other sections for more specific ideas.

[QUOTE=Atticus;1031976]Otzi, the list looks pretty solid. The only thing I would disagree with is the "Lift Heavy Things" exclusion. Even while water fasting, light resistance exercise has been shown to help preserve muscle mass. This is why I chose to keep my bodyweight exercises in the mix (Push Ups, Pull Ups, Squats, Plank). Now, I would argue that heavy cardio or anything that overly crushes the glycolytic pathway should probably be given a rest during the week. Maybe change it to "Lift Light Things, Walk"[/QUOTE]
I agree with this. I held off for a few days then did an intense weight lifting class and my performance was actually better. Now that I'm eating my regular primal foods again, I eat much more starch on lifting days. The potato experiment made me realize that I do better with eating starches on lifting days.
