Faster Feminism
Isn't September already hard enough, what with its foot-tapping demands to finalize course outlines, submit grant proposals, correct bookstore orders, outfit outgrown kids, sign up for yoga (definitely, this fall, for sure), finish that dissertation, polish your job letter, shelve your guilt along with the summer's unfinished articles, feed yourself (and others), clothe yourself (and others), and somehow find the shovels and gloves again?
You fit into me
like a hook into an eye
a fish hook
an open eye.
So what would possess anyone to start a new blog in the already populous field of academic women's commentary? Partly, the CERC debacle. When Canada created 19 extra-fancy endowed appointments in science, technology, health and medicine to attract the smartest brains to Canada and keep them here, guess how many of them went to women? All of them, you're wondering? Not exactly. None of them. Not one. Aucune.
Fish hook to open eye.
But righteous feminist anger is not our only motivator. We want fast feminism, yes, but we also want to keep alive the other meaning of the hook-and-eye figure, the intimate sartorial metaphor for connecting things: ideas, experiences, questions and possibilities, bloggers and readers, audiences. hook and eye is both an intervention and an invitation. We write about the realities of being women working in the Canadian university system. We muse (and rave, and query, and wonder, and share, and occasionally rant) about everything from gender inequities and how tenure works to finding unfrumpy winter boots and managing life's minutiae. This blog is about women, universities, and laundry.
Wait: don't click away yet. Your eyes might be narrowing and your lips starting to purse in well-practiced skepticism: what exactly do we mean by "women working in the Canadian university system"? and who is this "we," anyway? We take women in its broadest sense. The moment it becomes synonymous with 'straight white middle-class chromosomal females' is the moment we will have failed. Call us on it. We want this blog to speak to undergrads and emeritae, women at the G10 (no, G13 - no, G15?) universities, professors at big urban schools and rural campuses, women in pre-professional programs and graduate students in the core disciplines. We're Canadian, so that's our usual point of reference, but we sense that trends in the postsecondary sector (budget cuts, managerialism, corporatization, you name it) exceed national boundaries and often have specific, if unacknowledged, effects on women. If you're one of them - if you've ever suspected there's a connection between your gender and some newly mystifying aspect of your job - you'll find hook and eye useful.
Conveniently, writing collaboratively builds in a range of perspectives. The three of us bloggers share a worrying commitment to punctuality and a reassuring addiction to wit, but that's about it. We do not agree on everything; we do not write with a single institutional affiliation; and we sign our stuff. (We want you to, too.) One of us is an assistant professor on the brink of tenure, one of us is an assistant professor on a limited-term appointment, one of us is an associate dean. We live in Halifax, Kitchener-Waterloo, and Edmonton; we come from francophone Ontario, renegade Alberta and central Canada. We range in age from 31 to 44 and earned our PhDs in 1993, 2004 and 2008. One of us is a mom; one of us is a lesbian; at least two of us have tattoos.
We hope you find this blog irreverent and serious, both. We hope you see yourself reflected here. And we hope you'll write for us. Seriously! Here's the format: every Monday, Wednesday and Friday we post. Tuesdays and Thursdays are for guest bloggers. You can see everything you need to know about submitting entries at the "Contribute" tab above. In addition, we'll have a monthly feature called "This Month in Sexism," an anonymized tally of all the crappy things we've put up with as women. Then it's back to the real stuff: feminist pedagogy, finding the right haircut, reading collective agreements, the burden of competence, the scourge slash opportunities of leadership culture, why smart classrooms are kind of dumb, keeping creativity alive, running into colleagues at the liquor store, the horror of the nonstipendiary postdoc phenom, and what we're watching on TV.
As for the new semester? Bring it: hook and line.

This is very exciting. I am not a woman in academe, but I am very much looking forward to reading this blog. Thank you!ReplyDelete
Looking forward to this.ReplyDelete
So happy to see this here, written from the Canadian perspective. It's really refreshing, too, to see you blogging as yourselves. The only way women are going to be able to overcome some of the obstacles we face is by naming ourselves, not hiding out (although, don't get me wrong, I totally get why so many non/not-yet tenured faculty blog anonymously).ReplyDelete
Nice to see representation from the U of A. Hope that there will also so some wonderful cross-over from French-language academics, who often have a different perspective on feminism, feminist issues, and nationalism.
This is posting as a username, but please, call me Lee Skallerup, PhD in Comparative Literature, U of Alberta. I blog over at collegereadywriting.blogspot.com and at uvenus.org.
All the best.
@Annie - welcome: don't know whether this blog will make you wish you were a woman in academe or be happy you're not! :-) @cheryliwanchukart: followed through to see your blog - argh uofc! be great to have you write here sometime, too, if you have the time/energy to spare. @Lee - don't know whether you remember me from GFC stuff, but it's great to see you in this context too.ReplyDelete
Thank you for doing this. It is much needed. I had a discussion with a few incoming first year students yesterday who were shocked when I self identified as a feminist and then further off put when I told them that feminism is not a monolithic entity, like a political party, but can be thought of as a number of mutually penetrating discourses. I know that it is something of an oft repeated complaint - that new students don't know what feminism is - but I rarely come across people who haven't yet learned to shelter their ignorance behind a veneer of academically inclined political correctness. Getting them early in their first year and outside the confines of a classroom was really enlightening both for me and I hope for them. It was eye opening. Pardon the pun. Or don't.ReplyDelete
@Andrew: feminism's not a political party? Rats: I'll have to cancel the cards I'd ordered! :-) In all seriousness, thanks for reading - and writing - and talking to your students!ReplyDelete
It's exciting to see an online venue to discuss the things we have been (not so privately) discussing in person since I graduated so very long ago. I am looking forward to engaging many a barbed hook and all of the tight fits!ReplyDelete
This is such a great idea! Looking forward to reading more.ReplyDelete
@Andrew: when I hear young women say that they are *not* feminists and that "there's just no need for it anymore" I question my sanity. There are some pivotal dialogs to be had here, before things settle into just another variation of the way they were 20 or 40 years ago, except with some women now earning and spending more.ReplyDelete
Drop us a line! We're angling for vigorous commentary, but we will cut loose any vitriol dragged up from the depths.

I have argued that we are in a recession and presented the views of others who agree. Here is some impressive evidence that this is not a recession. UCLA's Edward Leamer has written a modest algorithm (a sequence of instructions that could be programmed into a computer) that, when it runs through the data, declares recessions almost exactly at the same dates that the official (human) committee in Cambridge, Mass., declares them to have occurred over the decades. And the computer says: This is no recession (so far).
I offer here an algorithm that perfectly identifies the ten official NBER [National Bureau of Economic Research] recessions since
WWII and that closely reproduces the official NBER monthly peak and trough dates...
The point of an algorithm is to take the guesswork out of the recession definition. For
those who are too busy to read more than one paragraph, here is the punch line: We are
not yet in a recession. For those who insist otherwise, I offer a challenge: What's your
algorithm?... Bottom line: things have to get much worse to pass the recession threshold.
Given the importance of having some clear definition of a recession, it is more than a
little aggravating that the official recessions are decided by a committee of Ph.D.
economists. We can just imagine the committee meeting at which the members pour
over data displays to try to decide if there was a recession, and, if so, when it began and
when it ended. This brings up fantasies of Justice Potter Stewart and other members of
the Supreme Court perusing pictures of naked men and women to decide which pictures
are pornographic and which are not...
Another of my favorites is "It may not be a recession, but it sure feels like one." I am
resisting the temptation to write a delicious, salacious, analogous statement for

global arms AR update.
Well I swung by the shop today hoping to pick up my rifle. Unfortunately it just shipped so maybe middle of next week. On the plus side I'll should be there since he just hired me on as gunsmith.
Congrats man.
Well congrats on the job, now I can send some work your way :D
Thanks guys. Shouldn't be bad. I have no issue chilling with the guy and I believe in his business. It'll probably mainly just be slapping ARs together,trigger jobs and the occasional cleaning and repair. Shouldn't be bad at all. Just for sh!ts and giggles I took down a grendal he had with an extraction problem. Just needed a new extractor. Not the best designed gun if you ask me.
im jealous.. although if i worked at a gunshop id be even more broke. hehe
Lol. We haven't really talked specifics yet but my answer was simple. I'll happily come down as long as it puts money in my pocket so I can buy more guns from you. Lol
He's got one in there that I will never be able to buy. He's still doing research on it but it looks to be an early unmarked colt. He has it priced at $9700 until he confirms and then it may be closer to $30k.

Task Force to Consider a Meals Tax Referendum Presents Final Report
June 17, 2014
The Task Force to Consider a Meals Tax Referendum presented its final report to the Board of Supervisors today. The communitywide task force was convened in April by Board of Supervisors Chairman Sharon Bulova and co-chaired by two former chairmen of the Board of Supervisors, Thomas M. Davis and Katherine K. Hanley.
The task force was directed to recommend to the Board of Supervisors:
- Whether or not to proceed with a referendum for a meals tax;
- If it is the recommendation of the group to do so, the task force should recommend the timing (what year?) for the question to be put to voters;
- And the task force should return with a recommendation for how revenue from a meals tax should be used.
In order to assist the Board of Supervisors in making a decision about whether to put the question of levying a meals tax in Fairfax County as a referendum on the ballot, the task force developed arguments both for and against doing so. These pros and cons are included in the report and the task force makes no recommendation on whether or not to proceed with a referendum. The Board of Supervisors accepted the task force's report and thanked the members for their work.
For more information, including the final report, go to www.fairfaxcounty.gov/mealstax.

Advisor Name Title Elwood Holton Committee Chair Michael Burnett Committee Member Read Bates Committee Member Satish Verma Committee Member Suzanne Stauffer Dean's Representative Keywords
- structural equation
- dispositional
- personality
- training
- transfer
Date of Defense 2009-06-22 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe transfer research has evolved to a significant body of works during the last two decades. Many relationships however remain unexplored and unexplained. Among these are dispositional characteristics, which are rarely studied in combination with transfer because of difficulties and inconsistencies in measurement. In addition dispositional characteristic are so numerous that it is often difficult to identify a set of such variable that explain the most variance in transfer of training. This study explores the hypothesized relationship between dimensions of the Five Factor model of personality, goal orientation, self-efficacy and intent to transfer training on the job. Most research articles on the topic focused on a variety of factors influencing transfer. This article attempts to model the complex relationship between these characteristics and intent to transfer using structural equation modeling approach. A set of propositions is presented for each individual variable and its relationship to intent to transfer. Finally, a model of relationships is tested and the results are discussed. The findings revealed that conscientiousness was the only dispositional variable that had a significant relationship to intent to transfer. In addition control variables learner readiness and motivation to transfer were significant in the model. The results suggest that dispositions may not be as important in the transfer system as other constructs like situational, motivational, and ability variables. Recommendations for further research and testing of the model are discussed in the final chapter of the study.

Black bear
After 2,5hrs of driving, I am now back in (rainy) Victoria. I had a great time on my little adventure, but it'll be good now to relax just a little bit before heading off to Vancouver.
Yesterday I went to Ucluelet and Tofino. On my way I did loads of stops, recommended by Chris, the hostel owner. It's just sooo beautiful up there!! Huge forests with massive lakes in between. Unreal.
Right by the road
When I got to Ucluelet it just rained, rained and rained a bit more. But even so, I drove around the little town a bit before heading off to Tofino. Between Ucluelet and Tofino are loads of beautiful beaches, mostly known for surfing. I stopped on almost every beach, ran out in the rain, took a couple of photos and ran back to the car, haha. I would have hated leaving this place without some photgraphic evidence. Tofino was tiny and not much to do. I was a little lost, especially when I had no idea where to go haha. And again, it rained.. So I'll def have to come back for some surfing!
Rainy Little Beach in Ucluelet
It's raining, it's poring..
A beach. Can't remember which one
On my way back to Port Alberni I SAW A FRIGGIN' BEAR!!!!! Right by the side of the road, was a huuuge black bear. I was so happy :D There was no place to pullover so I did not get a photo of him/her, sadly enough.. This picture from Google will do for now.
Snowy mountain
In the evening, I joined three others that were staying at the hostel in some card games. Two from Holland and one from Germany. Real nice
Now off to enjoy my last night in Victoria!!

Matt Hunter begins his sixth year at the helm of the York College men's basketball program with the 2017-18 year.
Hunter's tireless recruiting efforts are represented by the developing Spartan roster that features a strong core of youthful experience as the Spartans head into the 2017-18 season.
York is coming off a 17-10 season, in which they went 11-7 in the Capital Athletic Conference, good for a home victory in the first round of the CAC Tournament. The Spartans fell in the semifinal in a double-overtime heartbreaker on the road to Salisbury. York will return all five starters, including two All-CAC selections, in addition to Dalton Myers, who red-shirted last year due to a shoulder injury. Matt Scamuffo was named a first-team All-CAC pick and Blayde Reich earned second-team honors.
Hunter arrived at York College after spending the previous four seasons as a full time assistant coach at DeSales University. The Bulldogs went 84-32 during Hunter's tenure on the DeSales bench. The Bulldogs went to a pair of NCAA Tournaments as they advanced to the Elite Eight in 2008-09 and to the Sweet 16 in 2009-10. DeSales won two MAC Freedom Conference championships and played in the championship game in three of the four years he was with the program.
Hunter is no stranger to the Capital Athletic Conference as he was a three-year letter winner at Salisbury University. He graduated from Salisbury with a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education in May of 2005. He posted a GPA of 3.62, as he was a three-time CAC All-Academic team selection. Hunter was a two-year captain for the Sea Gulls' men's basketball squad.
Hunter has a very definitive idea of what he expects from his Spartan teams.
"I want players who are, first and foremost, great people," says Hunter. "Being good students and good players are important but I feel kids with great character will provide us with our best chance to be champions. I want our players to have a mindset of hard work and dedication. I also want them to have the willingness to sacrifice for their teammates."
Prior to Hunter's stop at DeSales, he was on the staff at The College of New Jersey. While at TCNJ, Hunter was thrust into the role of interim head coach for the 2007-08 season at the age of 24. Prior to being named as the interim coach, he served as a TCNJ part-time assistant for the 2005-06 season. He then moved to the full-time assistant position for the 2006-07 campaign.
Hunter knows what he wants his teams to project.
"I want our teams to be recognized as ones that work hard, play together and play the game the right way. We will respect the game, the opponent and the process of improving as individuals and as a team. I believe that the saying 'Character is who you are when nobody is watching' will be very true of both our basketball players and our golfers."
Hunter resides in York with his wife Annie and their children Kelsey, Emma, and Tommy.
Updated: 4/3/2017
Jon Showers will begin his third year on Matt Hunter's men's basketball coaching staff in 2017-18. Showers comes to the Spartan program after serving as an assistant coach at Marywood University. He will be responsible in assisting Hunter in all aspects of the Spartan men's basketball program.
Showers is a familiar name in York County basketball circles. He played at York Catholic and won a District 3 championship and played in the Pennsylvania State Championship game in 2005. Showers led the Irish to four consecutive eastern state tournament semifinal berths. He started 120 games for the Irish as York Catholic went a stellar 99-31 during his high school career. Showers finished his Irish career with 1,290 points.
After York Catholic, Showers played at Emerson College in Boston before earning his degree at Penn State University in 2011.
Showers began his coaching career at Millersville University, as he was an assistant coach for the Marauders from 2011-2013. Millersville posted 19 wins during the 2012-13 campaign, their highest win total in five seasons.
In his two seasons at Marywood University, the Pacers recorded their second-highest win total in school history in 2014-15 while the team also had their best-ever team GPA.
Showers is very active in the summer hoops scene. He is a coach of the York Ballers AAU program, an elite AAU program based in York that has produced college players that have gone on to complete in all three levels of the NCAA.
Showers owns a bachelor of arts, history from Penn State and a masters of education from Millersville.
Updated: 4/3/2017
Richard Hart begins his fourth year on Matt Hunter's staff. He comes to the Spartan program with a wealth of coaching experience.
Hart was most recently the head coach at Aberdeen High School He led Aberdeen to 13 conference championships, three regional championships, two state finals appearances, and one state championship. His 13 league titles came in just 15 seasons as he was victorious in 81% of his career games. Hart was named the 2000 Baltimore Metro Coach of the Year.
In the previous 13 years, Hart initiated and cordinated the Baltimore county-wide Basketball Academy from March through October that included elementary aged players through college-bound athletes. Those student-athletes received instruction and leadership from a number of top speakers and college coaches. He was a long-time counselor at the Eastern Invitational Basketball Camp.
Hart played collegiately at Westminster and Slippery Rock for two years each. He was a member of the 1978 Slippery Rock University squad that went to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight.
Hart lives in West Manchester with his wife, Denise. He is the father of Brittany who is married and also lives in West York.

The rappers would urge their fans to donate a small amount of money to the country which has been struck by the worst flooding in a century.
Rappers Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs and Lupe Fiasco are urging their fans to back the United Nations' Pakistan aid appeal. The organization has formed the Pakistan NOW group, which consists of celebrities and high profile cultural figures using their star status to raise awareness of the recovery effort in the aftermath of the recent flooding.
The musicians are promoting the cause heavily on their Twitter.com pages, with Combs telling his followers, "Everybody!!! Please Follow Pakistan_Now and help raise awareness about the flood in Pakistan!!! They need us!!"
Lupe Fiasco is calling on his fans to donate $5 to the cause if they can afford to and help spread awareness of the new appeal. In a post on the microblogging site, he writes, "Help in Pakistan_NOW: Text CERF to 90999 to donate $5 to UN foundation. If you can't donate dollars at least donate tweets! It's all about raising awareness Pakistan_Now."
More than 1,500 people have been killed and many more have been left stranded after monsoon rains caused the worst flooding in Pakistan for a century.

Lord Justice Leveson: 'No purpose in my solving yesterday's battles without considering tomorrow's'
In his written evidence to the inquiry, Mandelson said that while the wide-ranging inquiry "should not shy away from looking into the problems of the past and correcting them, it has to think about the issues of the future".
He said: "The questions this inquiry is looking at - the nature of the relationship between the media and politics - are important ones but, from my view point, largely historic."
Mandelson added: "I realise the inquiry is looking at digital media with a print history, but this hardly amounts to coming to grips with the internet as a whole.
"Media business models are being ransacked, governments are losing control of the information flow and the public are being given access to a flood of undigested and unmediated 'news' all in the name of free speech.
"Important as are the issues of who said what to whom about the Communications Act 2003, or the boasts of self-aggrandising media lobbyists and the intriguing new meaning of 'LOL', it seems to me that there are bigger media issues confronting our society."
Lord Justice Leveson responded yesterday: "We've focused a lot on what's happened, as it were, in he last years because that at least provides us with a base from which to proceed to consider what might happen, but as you imply in your statement, there is no purpose in my simply solving yesterday's battles without considering tomorrow's."

They've Perfected The Peanut Butter Jar
Thank goodness!! They have perfected something that is already perfect…Peanut Butter!
Well, they haven't exactly perfected the spreadable goodness. They did perfect the jar though.
So, here's the scenario. You are going to make yourself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. You know you're low an PB but that there's still enough in there to make one great sandwich. You open the jar and stick the knife in and 'ALAS' you can't scrape the bottom very well. Leaving you with a lackluster sandwich.
Solution: Twist-Up jar!
Yep, that's right! The twist up jar is currently in the works for our favorite sandwich spread. And, thank good gracious for that because we don't know what we'd do without it!

Twenty-five years ago, Loretta Eby rented a studio at Happy Valley Pottery to make glass art.
To this day, she is still in the building, where she shapes melted glass into pieces that have found their way into galleries and homes across the nation.
"When you're young you don't think about how long you're going to be somewhere," said the Elkhart, Ind., native.
"When I rented this space there was one person out here and he was a photographer and lived in the back of the building," she recalled.
Prior to moving to Happy Valley off Carson Graves Road in south Oconee County, she shared a studio with two other glass blowers, Paul Bendzunas and Gina Montgomery.
Bendzunas now works at a studio in Comer, while Eby said she lost track of Montgomery a decade ago.
On Nov. 23-25, Eby will host an open house to celebrate her 25 years at Happy Valley. She will be giving glass blowing demonstrations with the help of an assistant and her husband Jeff Jackson, a metal sculptor.
"I'll probably make a commemorative glass to commemorate 25 years in my chicken house," she said with a laugh.
When she first moved into the studio those many years ago, she had an unfortunate sidetrack.
"We rented space in August and I had a car accident two months later and couldn't make glass for a year," she recalled.
Being a glass blower is not a part-time endeavor, according to Eby.
"You have to really want to be a glass blower because you burn so much energy. You can't just do it on weekends because the furnace has to burn all the time," she said.
The furnace remains at a constant 2,000 degrees, and Eby noted she burns through 700 gallons or propane fuel each year.
"It takes four days to get the furnace up to the temperature where I actually have glass," she said. And if she decided to shut the furnace down, it takes five days for it to cool enough to open it.
After high school, Eby went to an art institute in Cleveland, Ohio, then spent two summers as assistant at Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina as she honed the art of glass blowing. While working in her studio at Happy Valley, she has traveled to art shows and conducted glass blowing workshops at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in Maine and Pilchuck Glass School in Washington state.
"I've always made glass for a living," she said.

Angry Birds Rio: Coming Soon!
With the new film Rio coming soon to theaters, Rovio has partnered with Amazon to bring the much awaited "Angry Birds Rio" to the Android platform.
In a surprising twist of fate, Rovio has decided not to go with their usual partners, GetJar. Instead, they will release their game exclusively through the Amazon Appstore. It is not certain for how long this agreement will remain intact, nor when the game will be available for download on the Android Market.
Rovio developers have been working with 20th Century Fox to bring Rio's heroes, Blu and Jewel(two rare Macaws) to life. The game's objective will be to save the original Angry Birds, who have been taken hostage in the magical city of Rio. The game will release with 60 levels, themed around locations found in the film, with additional content to be added in the future.
Rovio plans to launch Angry Birds Rio on March 22nd.

Book Review: Bad Girl by Jason Walker
Published 8:31 am, Sunday, March 24, 2013
Erotica seems to be a growth industry these days, not just in the volume of books available but also in the diversity of sub-genres from which readers can choose. The most recent such niche I have become aware of, with the arrival of Jason Walker's Bad Girl in my virtual mailbox, is a blend of erotica and noir. While I can see that erotica noir has potential, I doubt that this book represents the best the genre has to offer.
To be fair, overall the prose is pretty decent and the erotica is well done, but some major plot elements do not succeed in allowing the reader to suspend disbelief. The story follows the events over the course of a relatively short period in the life of a bored and unfulfilled socialite during which three of her lovers die in her company accidentally. Apparently, she had been engaging in various and sundry tawdry dalliances for several years then suddenly three sex partners in a row die during a tryst with the noir goddess. Excuse me while I roll my eyes.
Although she may have been reckless, she did not intentionally set out to kill her unfortunate bed-mates. However, cool as can be, instead of calling the cops she disposes of their bodies and/or covers up her involvement. All the while she finds it disturbingly thrilling to have inadvertently caused the death of three people with impunity.
Had it not been for her husband -- himself a philanderer extraordinaire -- tipping off the authorities Rena may very well have escaped detection. In a strange whirlwind of smoke and mirrors hubby dies of a heart attack, and his formidable legal team extricates Rena from the mess she's in. She ends up an extremely wealthy woman and promptly seeks redemption for being a bad girl by hooking up with her dead husband's fixer, who plans to introduce her to BDSM in the role of a submissive.
A curious thing about this book is that the author elected to eschew the use of quotation marks to denote dialogue. While in general I applaud writers who dare to experiment and defy rigid writing conventions, in this case the result was to add to the confusion caused by the convoluted and sketchy plot developments. Perhaps this wasn't the best vehicle with which to debut a new style of writing.

Entry level BlackBerry Z5 image leaked
Just like the Q5 offers a physical QWERTY that is not quite up to the standards as the one on the Q10, the Z5 looks to be a downscale version of the all-touch BlackBerry Z10 model. This device will probably find its way to emerging markets like India, China and parts of Asia. BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins had earlier hinted that there would be two high end, two mid-range and two entry-level BlackBerry 10 models launched this year. The BlackBerry Q5 and the BlackBerry Z5 would appear to cover the low end, entry-level market and the just rumored BlackBerry A10 would cover the high end. The BlackBerry Q5 and BlackBerry Z5 would take care of the middle of the market.
Since the A10 is believed to be a high-end touch screen model, that would leave the Canadian manufacturer short one high end QWERTY equipped device. Back in March, Heins said that a high-end BlackBerry 10 model would be coming for the holidays. Whether this is the rumored A10, or another model with a QWERTY keyboard is unknown. The executive said that he was excited about this phone. All of the touch screen models this year, the Z10, Z5 and A10, should have a 4.2 inch screen with the same 768 x 1280 resolution. And both QWERTY-equipped models, the BlackBerry Q10 and Q5 have the same 3.1 inch screen with 720 x 720 resolution. This makes it easier for developers to write apps for all models at once.

Hi! What is the difference between the two? I know the new BB Z5 have a other screen size, but what about the processor, internal storage, camera resolution(sensor) screen quality (ppi)? Best regards and I love the variety! :)

Talking about BlackBerry Z5 at the moment there is only rumors and no reliable information.

it has a 720p screen...how come its entry level?
6. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
Because not everything is about the resolution.
11. wendygarett (unregistered)
If its not 720p, do you think apps developer happy? If apps developer unhappy, blackberry will dead
12. MC1123 (Posts: 1256; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
Well it's because of android. It dictate what should be the high end AMS what is not... Really annoying Webern though 720p is great but android folks thinks its a lowend
7. NateAdam8 (Posts: 388; Member since: 17 Feb 2012)
Next is the A5 LoL
8. FlushGordon (unregistered)
BlackBerry should make ''entry-level only'' phones since their flagships are generations behind compared to others
16. MC1123 (Posts: 1256; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
You do know that if you speak about hardware the BBC z10 and q10 even the q5 is not entry level right? The have dual core CPU which is tolerable and most of all it has 2gb of ram..which only high end android have but the q5 will have that ram as well!
13. MC1123 (Posts: 1256; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
Lol...not at all!! Look at wp. Still at dual core and 1gb of ram.
Its not what the inside matters when the software is well optimize and running smoothly!!
15. MC1123 (Posts: 1256; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
Love it love it.. But I notice it looks like Nokia phone I think the 701 or the lumia 610..
But I bet it will be price lower than the q5 since I guess that the q5 might be price at $350 this will be in $250... Sldepends on the internal...I think if they will use OMAP chips and won't have LTE JUST 3G it will be lower. The price is right
17. rigorimpossible (Posts: 23; Member since: 29 Sep 2011)
looks like a lumia 822..

The Italian was brought in by chairman Ellis Short to replace Martin O'Neill, and the former Manchester United defender believes it could also give the club a huge lift
The Black Cats parted company with Martin O'Neill following their 1-0 defeat to United on Saturday, and Neville believes the appointment is odd when considering previous managers at the club, but admits a change of tack could be beneficial.
"I do not know what is going to happen," Neville told Sky Sports. "It is very un-Sunderland-like when you think of [previous managers] Peter Reid, Niall Quinn, Roy Keane, Steve Bruce and Martin O'Neill.
"You could argue it is very different from those appointments. It is a change of tack. Maybe that is something [chairman] Ellis Short was very conscious of and wanted to do. It is a risk but life is about risks.
"We will only know in a few weeks' time. I have to say, the whole atmosphere on Saturday looked a little bit dejected. In some ways, Di Canio coming in will give Sunderland a massive lift and he did well at Swindon.
"I would never advocate a change being made. I would never sit here and think a manager who was appointed 15 or 16 months ago as a messiah goes to becoming the villain all of a sudden and is responsible for everything.
"[O'Neill] has spent some money at the start of the season but it is no time in the job. It is no time to build what he wanted to create up there.
"Ellis Short's decision, I think, is gut instinct. Maybe he has not liked things he has seen or heard in the past weeks. But, to me, he has thought, 'I'm going for it'. And he has gone for it!"

It's true, gang! The second issue of Nintendo Force is now ready for your juicy little eyes! The other day we reminded you of the option to grab a subscription. While that option is still available, getting a subscription now will make issue 3 your first issue.
If you're interested in buying just a digital copy, you can do so at the link below. You can also do the print-on-demand option for issue 2, but that's still quite pricey. Remember, subscription pricing saves you roughly 80% of the cost! What's my suggestion? If you're interested in buying issue 2 and you haven't subscribed, just go with the digital option. Then hop over and subscribe to get the rest of this year's issues for a MUCH cheaper price!
Subscription option here (remember, subscriptions start with issue 3)

Demolition Man 1.0 - Simon Phoenix, is the final boss of the game.
[Zoom screenshot]
Publisher's Description:
Demolition Man is a multiplatform, run and gun action game based on the film of the same name, that takes the main character, John Spartan as he attempts to find and defeat his arch-nemesis, Simon Phoenix, who is the final boss of the game. Two different views are used within the game. Some stages are platform game type in side view, and include jumping and climbing, while other stages take an overhead Top-down shooter view; in all stages the player character can fire in eight directions. Stages are filled with many enemies, mostly gunmen, enemy characters and the player character can take a number of hits before dying; power ups can be found around the stages that increase the characters health or ammunition. The game gives the player limited continues and very few lives.
There is only one stage of action in the year 1996 then it hops directly to the year 2032, and waters down the plot of the movie. This emasculation of the movie eliminates all of the comedic elements and turns the game into a straight action game with only minor witty comments like "avoid fatty foods" (as seen in the Super NES version of the game).

kcwc wrap-up: knitted hat
Maybe you forgot it had been kcwc, but I did not, and I am going to milk a few more posts out of it...
Energy for sewing was nonexistent one night, so I spent my hour knitting. And hey! I finished up this little hat I'd been working on. Emphasis is on little--I didn't swatch for gauge (bad knitter!) and there's no way it will fit the intended recipient, but I'm sure I can find a baby-sized head to gift it to. The pattern is called Zaggity.
a few good ways out, unrelated:
this phone (no, it's not an iphone link).
this discussion of freezer cooking--see the comments for more good ideas.
this post on the value of blogging

Visa Launches Visa Digital Solutions
In a press release this morning titled "Visa Enables Internet-Connected Devices to Become Secure Commerce Vehicles", Visa has announced the creation of Visa Digital Solutions - calling it a comprehensive suite of offerings that facilitate secure payments across a broad range of Internet-connected devices and wearables.
Visa Digital Solutions provides the standards, tools and services to turn any Internet-connected device into a secure vehicle for commerce," said Sam Shrauger, senior vice president, Visa Inc.
"Smartphone manufacturers can securely load a Visa account within a device, merchants can directly embed Visa payment functionality into their mobile apps and financial institutions can offer mobile and online payments as part of their mobile banking applications."
In terms of support for new payment methods using smartphones, Visa highlights:
- Wave-to-pay: Visa recently published a software development kit (SDK) to make it easier for merchants, financial institutions and application developers to embed Visa payWave, Visa's mobile payment technology, into their mobile applications. Issuers now have the option to host the Visa account information in a virtual cloud or in a secure chip on the mobile device.
- Scan-to-pay: In June Visa published an initial specification for presenting Visa account information in the form of a Quick Response (QR) code. The specification provides retailers with a new, secure option to accept a Visa payment by simply scanning a QR code on a smartphone screen.
- Click-to-pay: Last week Visa announced the launch of Visa Checkout, a quick and easy payment service that enables consumers throughout the United States, Canada and Australia to pay for goods online, on any device, in just a few clicks. Visa's application programming interfaces (APIs) for Visa Checkout are available to merchant developers, as well as SDKs for in-app payments.
In terms of technology that helps protect consumers, Visa highlights its tokenization efforts. In September, it will introduce an innovative tokenization service that strengthens payment security while facilitating industry innovation. Tokens replace the 16-digit account information found on plastic cards with a numeric substitute, facilitating payment transactions without sharing sensitive account information.
Visa Digital Solutions will initially be available through the Visa Ready program, which provides innovators a path for the certification of devices, software and solutions used to initiate or accept Visa payments. Visa will also launch an extended Developer Center in early 2015, providing product specifications, APIs, SDKs, as well as implementation guidelines for financial institutions, merchants and third-party payment providers.
Separately, LoopPay has announced it has secured an investment from Visa Inc. "Visa continually evaluates and invests in new technologies that have the potential to transform mobile devices into secure payment vehicles," said Jim McCarthy, senior vice president of innovation and strategic partnerships, Visa Inc. "LoopPay has developed compelling technology that has the potential to enable merchants to accept payments from mobile devices using their existing point-of-sale infrastructure."

Over the last two weeks, Yahoo! Cricket ran an online survey that attempted to put on record how cricket lovers felt about the IPL. We were taken aback by the response. Nearly 19,000 readers answered to our call to answer 26 simple questions about the IPL. The response beat our in-house projection by several multiples.
Two simple conclusions can be drawn from the responses: the majority loves the IPL, and the majority believes there's much scope for improvement. It believes there's corruption and match-fixing in the IPL. But it also feels that the IPL's effect on Indian cricket has been largely positive. It believes that ICC should create a window for the IPL in its cricket calendar. But it then says the IPL is not as attractive as international cricket.
How do we make sense of these responses? How seriously do we take these cricket fans who're prone to contradicting themselves; whose responses may be driven by sentiment rather than logic?
On Twitter, Harsha Bhogle said if so many people (68.9% of the total respondents) believe there's spot-fixing in the IPL, something must be done about it. Yahoo! Cricket later spoke to Bhogle. He said a brand can be clean, but if a pointed question is raised about its integrity, there may always be a section of people who will harbour negative feelings about the brand, whether or not such feelings can be justified.
"If you ask some people if they feel there are animal bones in cola bottles, some of them may say yes without knowing for sure," Bhogle said. "But when the majority believe there's wrong-doing in the IPL, steps should be taken to correct its image."
There's also the issue of transparency and black money. The IPL would like us to believe that Sachin Tendulkar is being paid less than Ravindra Jadeja. This is a laughable suggestion. Off the books, there may be no limit to what players can pocket. The sting operation conducted by India TV confirmed as much: players are not satisfied with their prescribed salary slabs; that they're prepared to ask for more.
This problem could be remedied if all Indian players, including the uncapped ones, are auctioned. They can be bought in an open market in a transparent manner. IPL chief Rajeev Shukla had earlier said this may be a possibility. But the BCCI are hesitant to do it because it will be a "time-consuming affair".
Given what the public thinks of the IPL – they love and hate it in equal measures – our advise to the IPL would be to spend all the time it needs to clean up its image.
Make the IPL shorter
Shastri voted most popular commentator at the IPL
Majority believe illegal activities happening in the IPL
Thumbs down for BCCI officials owning IPL teams

CBA is increasing its one-third stake in Aussie Home Loans to 80 per cent and has a right to acquire the remaining 20 per cent in 2016 after the deal was given the green light by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission in March.
Aussie Home Loans founder
"They [CBA] had no input whatsoever. I was given the assurance from before we even got serious in negotiations that any senior appointments, it would be my recommendation and it would be strange if my recommendation wasn't supported," he said.
Mr Symond, who founded Aussie Home Loans as a challenger to the big banks in 1992, said the housing market was showing signs of improvement.
He predicted ANZ Banking Group's decision to lower its home loan interest rates by more than the Reserve Bank of Australia's cut last week would prompt similar moves by other lenders.
"It will be brought upon by the competition for business because the housing market is far from good," he said.
"It is showing positive signs. I personably believe the housing market has bottomed because we are seeing gradual increases in values in different places around the country but it is not galloping away.
"Because of that, the mortgage business has shrunk and the banks want to retain their positions and retain their books. My tip is the banks are going to have a good red-hot go at each other and what ANZ did I think is a sign of things to come."
Mr Corfield will take up his post on June 3.
He joined Bankwest in 2007 from Halifax Bank, which was part of Britain-based HBOS. HBOS owned Bankwest before it was sold to CBA at the height of the global financial crisis in 2008.
"I relish the opportunity to maintain and grow Aussie's reputation," Mr Corfield said.
The deal between CBA and Aussie Home Loans will be finalised at the end of this month, after which CBA will hold four of the six seats on the Aussie board.
"We want to grow the business and want to keep it as a challenger brand and the only involvement they [CBA] will have is if I put my hand up and say I want some funding or something," Mr Symond said.
"But they are not going to get involved in the day-to-day running."

The Hoff goes drag
I was tempted to put this picture up of David Hasselhoff dressed in drag without an explanation but I figured that'd be unfair. He's currently appearing in a Las Vegas run of The Producers. Which explains why The Hoff is wearing a dress, but not why he has a lifesize cardboard cutout of himself in his room. Does he carry that thing with him wherever he goes? I thought I was the only one who did that.
Check out the rest of the pictures of The Hoff in drag here.

The 'Nashville' star revealed she's having a baby girl with fiance Wladimir Klitschko on the Emmys red carpet on Monday.
Hayden Panettiere revealed on Monday, August 25 on the red carpet at 2014 Emmy Awards that she and fiance Wladimir Klitschko were going to have a baby girl. She told Giuliana Rancic of E! News, "I can't wait for her to come out, this little one."
Guiliana then asked Hayden, "It's a girl?" The "Nashville" star then replied, "I think I just said that, didn't I? Yes, it's a little girl." After revealing her baby's gender, she continued, "I like to shop, girl!I want to go shopping for my girl. I want to paint the room appropriately."
When asked about the baby's names, Hayden replied, "We have to make sure that it is American and Ukrainian all at the same time. That's a little rough...we're still working on it." The "Heroes" alum said of her craving choice during her pregnancy, "[Pregnancy] probably just accentuated my craving for chicken noodle soup. I've always been a chicken noodle soup lover."
Hayden, who showed off her baby bump in a sexy Lorena Sarbu gown, said, "The only thing that's difficult is making sure that it's tucked away. My feet get sore when I'm wearing no shoes. I've never felt this amount of weight on me."
Other happy news came from Amanda Peet. The "2012 (2009)" actress also showed off her baby bump on the Emmys red carpet. She's currently expecting third child with her husband David Benioff. The mother of two told Us Weekly of her children, Frances and Molly, "They're pretty excited. The older one is pretty excited, the middle one is not so sure."


text: Grammy-winning band Maroon 5's frontman Adam Levine was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. He is the son of Patsy (Noah), an admissions counselor, and Fredric Levine, who founded the retail chain M. Fredric. His uncle, Timothy Noah, is a journalist. Adam began playing music with his junior-high friends guitarist, rather than the keyboardist (for which he is known in the band Maroon 5) Jesse Carmichael and bassist Mickey Madden. Their first gig was at a school dance and Levine was terribly shy so he played with his back to the audience. Ryan Dusick joined the band as drummer and the alternative rock band Kara's Flowers were born (1994). They released an album called "The Fourth World" (1997). Then, he headed to New York City with Carmichael to study music at Five Towns College on Long Island. While they were there, he was surrounded by new music scenes and influences which give him whole new perspective on songwriting and singing. He dropped out of school after a semester and headed back to California with Carmichael to reunite with their pals and develop their band. He began writing a bunch of songs that were inspired by his recently failed relationship. After adding in new guitarist James Valentine (moving Carmichael over to keyboards) Maroon 5 was officially born. The band released their debut album "Songs About Jane", which included international hits "This Love", "Sunday Morning" and "She Will Be Loved" (2002).

Two experts from MedAire (Booth No. N3513) discussed how to devise and execute the best medical and security travel plans for private aircraft users at a seminar here at NBAA 2013 yesterday, entitled "Off the Grid and On Alert."
David Streitwieser, a board-certified emergency medicine specialist, and Denio Alvarado, who at one time was in charge of covert flight planning for Air Force One, discussed a variety of medical and security challenges facing business jet travelers venturing abroad and how to successfully plan for them.
Streitwieser noted that most private jet travelers were woefully unprepared when traveling abroad, citing MedAire data that showed that 78 percent did not even carry an emergency phone number and that 38 percent did not bother to research the country they were visiting. While acknowledging that most in-flight medical emergencies had benign outcomes, he noted the importance of selecting air routes proximate to acceptable levels of medical care. Streitwieser also said that it was important to carry the appropriate medical equipment on board, including an automatic emergency defibrillator, and that all crew, including the pilots, be trained on its use and cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and be recertified/retrained annually. Crew also need to be trained to know the signs and symptoms of adverse medical conditions and have access ground-based medical resources.
Streitwieser reminded the attendees that most of the world, including China, still has serious infectious disease and respiratory issues and stressed the importance of assessing the public health in the destination country and having a response plan. "Things change daily in the world of infectious diseases," he noted. When medical assistance is needed in-country, he added, "language assistance is huge. If you can't communicate, it makes diagnosis very difficult."
Alvarado said a good country security risk-assessment requires multiple layers of input from a variety of sources including the U.S. State Department, in-house security departments, security vendors, ground-handlers, clients and partners in-country, employees and FBOs. He cautioned against relying on media reports, which tend to sensationalize political and ethnic conflicts. "If it doesn't affect your travel, it is irrelevant." Having local knowledge is key he said, for a variety of considerations including which airport to use, where to park on the airport, how much fuel to keep on the airplane, whether or not to hire local security to guard the aircraft and even when to visit a country. As an example of the latter he cited the days leading up to "Democracy Day" in Nigeria—May 29– as a time to be avoided, as the national holiday is habitually marred by violence, including bombings.
Alvarado noted that all good security arrangements include trigger points for the activation of contingency plans based on a sliding scale of threat levels. He counseled that after any security-related incident, crews needed to debrief, note lessons learned and fine-tune security plans to mitigate future risks.
MedAire is making a complimentary travel risk-management app for iPhones and iPads–"MedAire Trip Ready—available via its website at www.medaire.com/tripready.

A great lipstickOverall, I think this lipstick is good. I've tried better, but the colors are really great. The formula isn't that moisturizing, but for the price you can't beat it. You may have to continually apply, so I find layering over another long wear color or foundation helps. I happen to love the packaging :). — 8 years, 12 months agosweets5260 | 126 reviews
CoverGirl TruShineThis is a good lipstick as color matching goes. It's tough to find a shade that won't match your skin tone, particularly if you follow Cover Girl's color recommendations. All that being said, this lipstick is like so many others. It has a waxy, chemical smell, and it seeks and clings to any flakes or dryness on your lips. I would recommend a balm, but this lipstick does not react well to the pr...read moreesence of any other product.

Blushberry ShineI purchased this product today based on an article in Self Magazine. I really love it! The color is subtle for everyday wear, but not enough for nighttime.

One of the bestI tried this because I had a super coupon and went back and got a couple more because I loved it that much. I first wanted a lipstick that would give me the new "nude" look and yet would not dry my lips and found EXACTLY that in the "NUDE" color.

Stuart Weitzman dark red patent leather 'Speidel' sandals
Bright red and skinny, perfect for dancing. Which, given the red shoes fairy tale is utterly appropriate. The dark red patent leather sandals are perfect for a night out. The ankle strap helps provide a little stability when you are out dancing and the high, but not too high that your feet are tired before you begin. The chain links that drapse up the foot are a nice touch too (but I have a think with contrast, open and restrained all in one shoe)

Edit: After half day, my wife's Mac started having the same problem. I have then applied the solution that I found in the Apple
Heat up your iPad with Hot Reversi HD
Reversi (sometimes refered to by the trade name Othello) is a game created by two English men in the late 1800s and has been played by generations since.
Historically a board game (as computers didn't exist the game involves abstract strategy and it is normally played by two players on a board with 8 rows and 8 columns and a set of distinct pieces for each side.
Pieces typically are disks with a light and a dark face, each side belonging to one player.
The player's goal is to have a majority of their colored pieces showing at the end of the game, turning over as many of their opponent's pieces as possible.
Hot Reversi takes this class game and adds a little bit of heat. Although you can turn the effects off to play the standard game things get much more exciting when they get hot.
The full effect version offers the ability to set the pieces on fire or call down lightning making the game even more competitive! The stronger your moves, the more powerful the effects are – and if they are strong enough, the board itself may even burn up or crack open. Hot Reversi HD breathes hot and exhilarating new life into the familiar Reversi game.
Reversi isn't an easy game at the best of times and the additional hot features make it a little more fun. Playing the CPU is fun and I am pleased to say I actually beat it on my first game. The best fun comes with playing with another real life player though.
- To increase the excitement, when you turn the pieces over, there are many special effects, such as fire or lightning.
- The stronger the move, the more violent the fire/lightning effects will be.
- Turn the effects off to enjoy a classic, quiet game of Reversi.
- The BGM helps keep the game from becoming too incandescent.
- Play with the CPU (1-player mode) or other people (2-player mode).
- There is a RED-HOT Switch to each player's right that allows him to disrupt his opponent's concentration.
- You can shake the board or make the pieces fly off, etc.
- There is a function that allows you to choose to resume play where you left off after restarting the app.
- You can select green or blue as the color of the board.
- The tilt sensor allows players to view the board even when the iPad is tilted at a diagonal angle.
- The app includes a 4-stage 3D viewpoint that allows richer enjoyment of the fire and lightning effects (from overhead to oblique viewpoints)
- In 1-player mode, select whether you want to play black or white pieces.
- In 1-player mode, select from fire-type or lightning-type effects.
Reversi is a hard game to explain but definitely addictive. If you like a game that challenges your mind and keeps your brain ticking Hot Reversi is a brilliant fun. The game currently costs ?2.39 ( a two week limited offer with the price increasing on 24th June). Get it here.
