The Switchboard at Hudson
Valley Community College is in operation from Monday through Thursday during
the school year from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., and from 7:30 a.m. until 5 p.m.
on Friday. When the Switchboard is closed, there are some offices on the main
campus which may be reached by dialing directly: Continuing Education, 629-7338;
Health Office, 629-7468; Library, 629-7336; Maintenance, 629-7356; Security,
switchboard is a service area which is very vital to the running of the college.
It is very important that the board be able to answer as many incoming
as possible. To that end, we should assist them by utilizing the phone system
to its fullest capacity. We appreciate your taking the time to
forward your
calls, notifying the switchboard when you are leaving your office for a long
period of time, looking up extensions in the telephone directory
yourself instead
of calling the operator, and utilizing the features of the telephone system.
With your help, we will be able to more efficiently provide a
much needed service
to the college.
I'm new here. How do I learn the telephone system?
A. Instructions are included in the "On
Campus" telephone directory which is distributed at the beginning of each
How do I make a long distance call?
A. There are some telephones with long
distance access. If you have this feature you may dial your long distance calls
directly. If you do not have this feature, you should go to your Department
Chairperson's office to make your call (The Switchboard is not permitted
to make long distance calls.) Because of college policy we are not allowed
to accept collect calls to departments.
What should I do if I will be away from my office for some time?
A. If at all possible, please transfer
your calls during the day to another person. If not, voice mail will handle
your calls if you are away from your office. Please advise your callers of
and put a temporary voice mail message on. Example - I am at a seminar for
the day and will return at 3:30 p.m. You may also notify the switchboard if
will be away from the office for a longer period of time. This also helps satisfy
callers. The switchboard operators need this information to assist you and
for their personal information.
How do I have my name listed in the Campus Telephone Directory?
A. Your name, location, extension number,
job title and department will automatically appear in the next published directory
after your date of hire. The information is taken directly from your personnel
data file. If you find an error or if you are not listed, contact Human Resources
on ext. 4552 for assistance with name, job title and department changes. Please
contact Carol Dillon at the switchboard for changes in location, and ext. #.
If I'm not here to answer my phone will the switchboard operator take messages?
A. NO. We are sorry but because of the
volume of incoming calls our operators have to handle, it would be impossible
for them to take messages for people when they are not in their offices. Callers
may leave voice mail messages for you when you are out of the office or
if your line is busy. During business hours, calls should be
forwarded to a knowledgeable person who can take messages for you.
Who do I contact if my phone doesn't work?
A. If your phone service is interrupted
for any reason, go to a working telephone, and contact Dave Quell on ext. 7237
or by e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. You should also contact the switchboard
to advise our operators that your phone is not working so that calls will not
be put through to your extension until your telephone has been repaired.
What do I do in case of an emergency?
A. The number
to dial in the case of an Emergency is ext. 7100. This number is to be used
only in an extreme emergency, it is not for normal use!
Other numbers are listed in the Campus Telephone Directory. There are also
emergency telephones located throughout the campus to be used in case of
If any information about my status or telephone information changes, should
I let the switchboard know?
A. YES. If your extension number, title,
room number, or name changes, please advise the switchboard immediately so that
they will be able to contact you when someone calls. This information must also
be sent to Human Resources.
Voice Mail is now available to all employees. To
activate voice mail please contact Carol Dillon, our Voice Mail System Manager,
at 629-7825 for a start-up access code. If you have any problems or questions,
she will be glad to help you. You also have an Octel Quick Reference

Shall I use K&W Block sealer for Blown Head Gasket??
K&W is a good product... follow the directions to a T and you may be surprised. I've had good luck with it several times.
The key is to use it with clean water and drain the system and allow it to sit overnight before you refill the system.
It worked on my 78 Nova with a 305. I blew the head gasket when I started experimenting with timing and carburator tuning. I had my timing too advanced and I leaned out the primary jets. On. A hot AZ day I smashed the throttle and only heard "Nickels in a can" and I blew the head gasket. I was loosing about a gallon of coolant a week.
Its been about a year and still holding up to abuse. Just make sure you flush the system before using it and follow the instructions.

Using leftovers can be a challenge. Serving them the same way can often be a bore. Earlier this week I made tacos for dinner, feeding my husband, father in law, 4 ½ year old & myself. The 2 pounds of ground beef proved to be much more than we needed.
Does that ever happen to you? Maybe it is an intentional extra vat of ground beef, chicken or shrimp that you make in hopes of using a portion for a future meal. Other times it's more of a woops, where you really overestimated the tummy sizes of your dinner guests!
Thank you to the fabulous readers of SmartyPantsMama.com, I have a great list of ways to use the taco meat (ground beef) leftovers! What do you think of the list? Which leftover creation would be 1st on your list?
1. Katie suggested…
- to add it to beans and make chili. You could also add it to pasta and cheese.
2. Kaley of KaleyinJapan.com suggested…
- mixing meat with noodles of choice & some extra sharp cheese!
3. Angi of http://www. timandangi.com/blog/ said:
- Beef quesadillas with sour cream and guacamole
- Beef and potato burritos (we like to used diced potatoes but you can use any cut of tater)
Super nachos (meat, beans, guacamole, salsa, sour cream, veggies, and anything else you like)
- Mexican bowl – Spanish rice with meat and veggies to top it
4. Amanda of http://www. brandondufau.com said:
- Baked potato
- Chili
5. Karen said:
- Chilaquiles, a kind of casserole using leftovers. She suggested checking out InErikasKitchen.com for the recipe
6. Wanda of tidbitsandtreasures2011.wordpress.com said:
- stack taco meat on top of a baked potato and then add as many of the traditional taco toppings as the individual wants. This is especially great when the weather is cold because the hot baked potato helps warm the body as well as feed it. Plus, for the best baked potatoes ever, check out this link: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/guys-big-bite-/the-bomb-bakers-recipe/index.html
7. Peave, Love and Toys of peaceloveandtoys.wordpress.com said:
I like to take ground meat, I don't see why it couldn't have taco seasoning, and add in some ground up veggies. I just put some carrots, green beans, squash, whatever in a food processor and cook it quickly with the meat. Then, I use spring roll wrappers that have taken a bath in some hot water, and roll a small amount of the meat and veggie mix in the wrappers like I would a burrito. I lightly coat the "spring rolls," and I use the term loosely, with oil and bake in the oven until the wrappers are crunchy.

Message from the Chair
Dear Colleagues:
2013 has been a wonderful year for the Fairfield University School of Nursing (SON). Let us take a look back on what has been achieved and then look forward to what the SON has planned for the future.
Under the leadership of our dean, Dr. Lynn Babington, the School has been bustling with activity (grants, publications, new faculty, programs and staff). Enrollments continue to increase at a steady rate and we continue to have a very selective admissions process.
We are also increasing the diversity of our student body. The SON is continuously evolving and seeking opportunities to advance the nursing education.Two new programs were launched in the fall of 2013:
1. E- Doctorate in Nursing Practice— a three year part time practice-focused doctoral degree designed specifically for nurse executives, educators and entrepreneurs to enhance their leadership and evidence-based skills to lead system wide changes.
2. Masters of Science in Nursing - Nursing Leadership. This part time program provides graduates with knowledge in the business aspects of health care and the skills to improve patient outcomes though the coordination and delivery of health services using evidence based systems of care.
Both of these innovative programs help nursing professionals reach out to the public in various ways in order to the provide leadership in meeting the needs of our changing healthcare environment.
Dr. Babington received an Executive Nurse Fellowship from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation—a three-year advanced leadership program for senior nurse executives. This incredible honor is bestowed on a very select group of nurse leaders who will shape and improve health care, lead teams and organizations on a local, as well as, national level. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is recognized as our nation's largest philanthropy devoted exclusively to health and health care issues working with diverse groups of organizations to identify solutions and timely change.
As you can see, the SON is hard at work to educate nurses who will become leaders in a very complex healthcare environment. With the growth in programs and increases in numbers of students, the SON has outgrown its physical space. We are at an impasse—we cannot provide cutting edge nursing education and continue to grow unless we have the room and facilities to do so. Dean Babington has been hard at work with Newman Architects to design an innovative building that will address the future needs of the School. We are hoping the blue prints for this new building will be available in the forthcoming weeks.
Best wishes for a healthy and prosperous New Year.

Chair, School of Nursing Advisory Board

GARNER — Planning commission members recommended approval of a 248-unit apartment complex in the Greenfield Industrial Park. But the split decision and an opposing industrial neighbor suggest Tuesday's meeting may involve more than a rubber stamp.
The developer said the location on North Greenfield Parkway next to the U.S. 70 exit provides easy access to workplaces in the industrial park, as well as to I-40 and the White Oak Shopping complex about a mile to the west. And he said he and the builder, DHM Design, has accounted for the town's ordinances and any safety concerns.
But Golden State Foods, a McDonald's supplier with a plant at the dead-end of the parkway, opposed the project.
"It's safety. That's our number one priority," said Gregg Tarlton, general manager for Golden State, though he did not provide specific examples of dangers other than to say tractor trailers rarely hit each other. "It's all about protecting our business and our customer. The threat is any activity on the parkway and making sure it's the right fit for an industrial parkway."
Tarlton said that, had apartments been there before, his company wouldn't have located there.
Developer Ron Gibson said Golden State had expressed concern over children playing near the parkway, heavily used by supply trucks. He said his company planned to erect a decorative fence behind a wooded buffer around the property in order to ease those concerns. He said the fence would not be an eyesore or have the feel of a compound locking children into it.
"It's a very large piece of land. A lot of the vegetation is going to be retained there," Gibson said of the densely wooded 23.5 acres.
Two planning commission members – Barbara Barat and Jayne McBurney – voted against recommendation. The decision ultimately rests with the town council, though planning commission chair Norm Carr noted they use similar criteria to evaluate projects. The four members approving the project felt Gibson had satisfied the town's planning policies and rules.
Several objections
McBurney raised both safety and noise concerns as her primary objections. In addition she raised concerns about whether there was a market for the apartments so close to Abberley Place Apartments (600 units) and the under-construction Adeline at White Oak (336 units).
But Carr countered that profitability was not a planning commission concern. Gibson said the developers and investors wouldn't be pouring tens of millions of dollars into a project that didn't satisfy a demand.
"I've been doing this for 40 years, and I'm very careful with market studies. And the market studies we've conducted indicate this market has a very high demand for quality multi-family residential," Gibson said. "Young people want to be in and around things that are happening."
He said a traffic study done by the engineering firm Ramey Kemp & Associates came back positive regarding volume, speed, line-of-site, road width, safety and other factors. Though McBurney said she'd walked the property – bordered by the parkway on two sides, Butterball's corporate offices and U.S. 70 -- with a noise-measuring device, he disputed McBurney's claim that noise breached the town's allowable limits.
"We've done our noise studies. I don't know where she may have got her statistics, but we don't agree with that at all," Gibson said.
The issue had been before the planning commission during December's meeting, but when Golden State and another nearby landowner, Gregory Poole Equipment Company, voiced concerns, they pushed it into January to allow for more discussion and information. The developer has since satisfied the concerns of that company, which has yet to develop its land.
Tarlton said Golden State is still working through the issue with the developer, but didn't believe that the site should be used for residential purposes, though the site's zoning allows for multi-family residential units.
"Businesses that are like businesses tend to locate next to each other," Tarlton said. "We just don't feel an apartment complex fits the scope of what we're looking at."
Four commission members disagreed and recommended approval. Jim Honnicutt said that though Golden State is "an excellent corporate citizen," the proposal addressed all of the Unified Development Ordinance criteria and "we need to send it on to the next body," referring to town council.
"People will follow jobs, and jobs will follow people," Honnicutt said.

Q. My great-grandmother brought a folk remedy for upset stomach with her from Norway. When I was little and had a bellyache, I'd be given a tablespoon of cider vinegar plus a tablespoon of honey dissolved in a bit of hot water, mixed in a regular drinking glass that was then filled with cool water. It's actually quite tasty and it works every time, almost instantly!
Several years ago, the owner of a restaurant in my neighborhood was complaining that his stomach was extremely upset. Nothing he'd tried had worked, including an entire bottle of the pink stuff. He couldn't take the night off and go home (and he never complained about anything, so it must have been bad).
I suggested the cider vinegar/honey remedy. He told me I was crazy, but since he had nothing to lose by trying it, and wisdom from family matriarchs was nearly sacred to him, he trotted off to the kitchen. A few minutes later he was back to his old self and couldn't stop grinning. Then he spread the word. I was still hearing about it weeks later.
A. Thanks for telling us about the origin of your remedy. We have heard from many readers that this can be surprisingly helpful for heartburn and indigestion.
Some worry that the vinegar will erode tooth enamel, so we were pleased to get this suggestion from a reader: "Use a straw to bypass the teeth so that the vinegar will not harm them." One might also rinse with water and wait half an hour before brushing the teeth, since vinegar could soften enamel and make it susceptible to abrasion.
You will find other simple remedies for indigestion in our Guide to Digestive Disorders.

The DSTT card is the perfect accompaniment to your Nintendo DSi gaming console.
The DSTT card or NDSTT card as they are sometimes referred have been around for a few years and they are definitely one of the more popular forms of DS cards on the market. DSTT cartridges were created so that you could expand the uses of your Nintendo DS game systems. The standard DSTT card is not compatible with the latest Nintendo DSi console; if you need a card that is compatible with the DSi, checkout the new DSTTi card If you have DS lite or an older style DS then the standard DSTT card will be fine for you, its also good to note that the DSTTi card is also backwards compatible with all the previous Nintendo DS consoles. If you have one of the older consoles but are thinking of upgrading to the DSi then it would be worth investing in a DSTTi card which will save you having to purchase a new card in the future.
The DSTT Adapter allows you to perform tasks with your DS that you could never do before! This includes listen to music, watch videos, browse your piccies and also read e-books all from your Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi consoles! The adapter itself is the same size of a standard nintendo DAS game cartridge and fits into the same slot (Slot 1) as the game cartridges. The adapter has amicro SD memory card slot and its on the micro sd cards that you store all the files you want to use on your DS. This then goes into the adapter and that, in turn, into your DS console. Turn on the DS and away you go.
The DSTT card works by turning your DS into a multi media machine! The same size as a standard gaming cartridge the adapter behaves just like a proper game cartridge. But instead of playing games you can load the adapter with a Micro SD memory card filled with your favourite music, films, pictures and e-books! The DSTT software (That you also need to load onto the memory card) allows you to access these files and play them on your DS & DS lite.
It can be a little confusing as to what you need in order to get your DSTT card working, we have simplified this for you. All you need is the following:
What size micro sd do I need? Knowing what size micro sd card to get for your DSTT DS card can be tricky. Its not that easy to recommend a particular one because it really does depend oin the sizes of the files you intend to use. However, generally, a 2GB card will suffice for light users and 4GB card will do for most other people. If you have a really large collection of music or video files then you can go for the 8GB or even the huge 16GB card.
For people with little or no technical knowledge then setting up your DSTT Card can be a little tricky and sometimes daunting. Dont worry we have all the information you need to set your DS adapter up. Just follow these easy to use step-by-step instructions and you will have it working in a jiffy.
If you have not done so already you are going to need to buy your device before you can do anything at all. Obvious I know but if it is the case that you still don't actually have an DSTT as yet then we can recommend that you buy one from www.r4ishopper.com. There are many places you can buy these on the net however we have heard good reports about this vendor and their cards all seem to be genuine. If you don't already have a micro sd card hanging around then make sure you buy one of their bundle deals that includes the card as part of the package. If you don't know which size memory card to get then go for the 4GB Micro SD bundle, this will leave you plenty of space without being overkill.
Its now time to double check that you have everything you need to continue. The checklist is as follows:
Before you can use your DSTT you first need to download the latest DSTT software which is the operating system of the card. The software is constantly being updated and is therefore not supplied with the DSTT card itself. There may also be some sort of legal reason why the adapters are not supplied with the software out of the box. To save you some time we have the latest version of the DSTT software for you to download
Software Downloads
Click the link and choose a location on your PC to save the file to. We would suggest to make a DSTT folder on your PC so dont forget where all your files are. When the download is finished you will have a DSTT.zip file on your PC. You will now need to extract the contents from the zip file by right clicking on the file and selecting extract all. Follow the on screen prompts and choose the default options. Once your file has finished extracting you should have a new folder called eng, within this folder there will be the following files:
Now we can test out your DSTT card using the memory card that we setup in step 4 above. If you followed exactly what is outlined in step 4 then you will not have any music, video or other files on the card as yet. That's fine because we only need to test that the card works and the menu appears on your Nintendo DS when used. Follow these steps to test out your DSTT Adapter:
To make the most of your NDSTT you need to make sure that you have the latest version of the DSTT software. This is also known as the DSTT Kernel or the DSTT system files.
You can download the latest version of the DSTT software here: Software Downloads
We will put the answers to all your DSTT related questions here. We will also post solutions to common DSTT problems.
Please visit our Support forum for the latest help & support and also if you would like to ask us a question about these cards.

For Kristofer and Joanne Young, organizing a New Year's Day potluck at their Ojai home isn't so much a matter of guessing who's coming to dinner as figuring out how many will show up.
Locavore locations
A map of farms, markets and restaurants with local sources.Find places near you, or add your own suggestions »
On the guest list: anyone who made it across the 365th-day finish line for Eat Local One Year, the local-foods project the Youngs kicked off with a similar gathering on Jan. 1, 2009.
"We started with 21 people and there are nine of us completing the project, although I'm still waiting for an RSVP from one of them," said Kristofer Young. "That's pretty good, considering the commitment it takes to completely change the way you eat."
Limited to foods grown or produced within a 100-mile radius, Eat Local One Year participants agreed early on that salt would be granted a permanent exception.
Coffee was another matter. Although coffee beans can be roasted locally at businesses such as Moore Coffee, Tea & Spices in Ventura, the beans themselves typically are shipped from hundreds if not thousands of miles away. And that was counter to the Youngs' original intention, which was to lighten the effect of fossil fuels on the environment by eating foods that didn't have to travel great distances to reach their plates.
"I think we may have lost a few people on the no-coffee issue alone," said Young, who managed to keep caffeine in his diet by counting coffee as his own monthly exception. Some months, he skipped it in favor of another nonlocal item like brown rice.
But with the New Year comes a new, and some might say less obsessive, project organized by the Youngs: Locavore Lite 2010.
Designed to engage existing and potential "locavores" — people devoted to eating foods grown or produced within a certain distance from their homes — Locavore Lite features rules that read more like friendly suggestions.
"At any time during the year, give some consideration to where your nonlocal foods come from."
Also, "one time per month, or a minimum of 12 times in 2010, do one or any combination of the following: shop at a farmers market, receive produce from a community supported agriculture (CSA) farmer and/or harvest food from a local farm, garden or yard."
The project's possible start date is just as flexible, running from New Year's Day to April 1.
"The idea is to include as many people as possible, but to still have that magic ingredient, the emphasis on thinking about where our food comes from, to keep the meaning in it," Young said.
The less stringent approach seems to be working. As of this week, the Facebook page for Locavore Lite 2010 had more than 145 fans, including several farmers and restaurateurs.
Rachel Main, chef and co-owner of Main Course California in Ventura, is among them. She signed up for Eat Local One Year, then dropped out after realizing that she was doing almost all of her eating at the then-fledgling cafe, where the menu is focused on, but not limited to, local foods.
"There were times when I just needed a tuna salad sandwich with mayo, without worrying if that mayo was local," Main said with a laugh. "Locavore Lite is much more doable."
Seed of an idea
A chiropractor and a massage therapist, respectively, Kristofer and Joanne Young already were avid backyard gardeners when they read "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle," novelist Barbara Kingsolver's nonfiction account of the year she and her family spent growing their own food. The Kingsolvers' experience included raising, and making spicy sausages out of, a flock of turkeys.
The book was one of several factors that inspired the Youngs to take the all-local plunge. Concerned about food safety, they also wanted to keep money they spent on food in the local economy, said Joanne Young. They shop for produce, meat and fish every Sunday at the Ojai certified farmers market.
In the spring of 2008, the Youngs began looking for 100 people to join them in their yearlong quest to eat only food grown within 100 miles of their home. More than 40 had signed up by November 2008, but only 21 showed up for the inaugural New Year's Day potluck, which was videotaped for an upcoming documentary by Quarter Mile Films of Ojai.
"People told me, 'This is exciting. This is important. But I can't do it', " Kristofer said of the attrition rate among the project's core participants.
The final stretch
Carol Nierman of Thousand Oaks is one of the final nine. To celebrate, she plans to bring to the Eat Local One Year potluck a favorite dish made using kale and Swiss chard grown in her plot at the Las Flores Community Garden. And after a year of skipping the nonlocal spices called for in the original recipe, she is looking forward to letting loose with the garam masala.
Although she had a comparatively easy time of going all-local for a year, Nierman said the project was not without its challenges.
"I thought I would miss eating chocolate and bananas, but what I really missed was going out to restaurants with friends," she said.
Now some of those friends are talking about joining Nierman as she participates in Locavore Lite.
"It's a way getting into eating locally for the less-crazy," she said with a laugh.
And it follows a year in which local-foods issues entered everyday conversation. The wide release of the movie "Food, Inc." got people talking about factory farming, while the planting of a kitchen garden at the White House soon after the Obamas moved in drew the attention of fans and detractors alike.
"The past year has been an incredible validation of what we are trying to do," said Joanne Young. "I thought, 'Wow, we were on the crest of a wave and didn't even know it.'"

International Investors in the Sweet Spot
Why now is the best time in 7 years to invest overseas.
Where do you stand on China?
We have been underweight in Chinese shares since the first quarter of 2007, after being overweight for five years. Long-term demographic shifts in the economy are favorable, but over the next one to three years, we're having a hard time finding a catalyst for the Chinese stock market. Growth is strong, but it's expensive. Long term, there's obviously good opportunities in China, but at the moment, there are better opportunities in Asia, such as South Korea. What's the case for investing in South Korea?
South Korea is our biggest weighting in Asia (by percentage of portfolio assets invested there). We don't consider it "emerging": It's very competitively positioned, is experiencing high demand for its products, and it has well-run companies that are exporting at a high level. At the country level, we expect earnings per share growth over the next 12 months by 16 percent, and it's trading at a price-earnings ratio of 9.8. Technology stocks are one of the biggest drivers of South Korea's economy; Samsung is one of our larger positions, as is LG Electronics. Do you invest in any frontier markets?
International investing is risky. Many of the frontier countries, while they might be very interesting for private equity funds or very sophisticated investors, are too risky for our client base. Our risk process is to exclude countries from our benchmark—the MSCI All Country Ex US index—that are too risky. An example is Russia. Many of our peers have been involved in Russia (it's part of benchmark), but we consider it to be one of the most corrupt corporate business environments of all the countries we monitor, and that's why we see it as excessively risky.

New Cydia Tweak Allows Siri to Perform Local Searches Outside of the U.S.
Here is a great Cydia add-on for international travelers. International Locations for Siri allows Siri to perform local searches outside of the U.S.. While Siri can speak several languages, and is also available in other countries, location based services are currently only available in the U.S..
I obviously can't test the tweak without leaving the country, but the $0.99 investment may be worth the risk to some frequent travelers. The add-on is available for download via the BigBoss repo. If you do not already have AssistantExtensions it will be installed when you download the tweak.
HomeSpringPage: Add an Empty Page to Your Home Screen for Widgets
The new jailbreak tweak HomeSpringPage allows you to create a blank page on your iPhone's Home screen to use with Dashboard X widgets. Dashboard X is another Cydia tweak that allows you to add Notification Center or user made widgets to your Home screen.
After you have installed Dashboard X ($1.99 via the ModMyi repo) and HomeSpringPage, the first page of your iPhone will be completely devoid of any app icons. This gives you the free space to add any Notification Center or jailbreak widgets you own. You can also use a combination of apps and widgets on the new page.
iPhone Tweak Makes Texting Even Easier
There have been a lot of useful jailbreak tweaks released this year. For example, I love AssistantExtensions, which allows you to make Siri even better. However, SwipeSelection is quickly becoming my new favorite jailbreak tool.
The tweak is based on a YouTube video created by Daniel Hooper. Hooper published a concept video that demonstrated how editing text on an iPad could be easier. The jailbreaking community responded by creating SwipeSelection based on his ideas.
It's a simple tweak that makes typing on your iPhone much easier by allowing you to drag your finger to move your cursor. You can use one finger for a more precise cursor drag, or two fingers to move faster. You can even select text easier by holding the shift key and dragging your finger. All of this is demonstrated by Hooper's video posted below.
Dashboard X: Add Notification Widgets to the iPhone Home Screen [Jailbreak Tweak]
The highly anticipated jailbreak tweak that allows you to add Notification Center widgets to your iPhone's Home screen is finally available in Cydia. Dashboard X is available for download for $1.99 via the ModMyi repo. It's compatible with all iOS 5 devices, and works with all existing Notification widgets.
Dashboard X is easy to use: Just tap and hold to enter wiggle mode. Tap and hold again to access the "Add New Widget" screen. This will display a list of all the Notification Center widgets that you currently have installed on your device. Select the widget you want to add, tap "Add Widget" and it will appear on your Home screen. Position the widget wherever you want, and hit the Home button to exit and lock the widget into place. You can delete the widget by going back into wiggle mode and tapping the (x) like you would normally do to delete an app. You can also remove widgets from the Settings menu by going to the "Enable Widget" panel.
Apple Releases iOS 5.1.1, Already Jailbroken
Apple released iOS 5.1.1 a few days after iOS developer pod2g announced that his jailbroken iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1 was untethered. Of course you will want to avoid the update if your device is currently jailbroken. For non-jailbreakers the update brings improved reliability for the HDR option when accessing the camera app, and a few bug fixes. Here is a complete list of changes:
Improves reliability of using HDR option for photos taken using the Lock Screen shortcut.
Addresses bugs that could prevent the new iPad from switching between 2G and 3G networks.
Fixes bugs that affected AirPlay video playback in some circumstances.
Improved reliability for syncing Safari bookmarks and Reading List.
Fixes an issue where 'Unable to purchase' alert could be displayed after successful purchase.
SquareTrade Extends iPhone Insurance to Jailbroken Devices
Some iPhone owners are nervous about jailbreaking their devices due to Apple's no jailbreaking policy. To discourage iOS hacking Apple does not offer customer support to users who jailbreak their phones, and jailbreaking also voids Apple's warranty. Until today jailbreakers had no way to insure their iPhones, even through third-party warranty providers. That has all changed thanks to SquareTrade. The third-party provider has expanded its coverage to jailbroken iPhones. This is great news for jailbreakers who would like to protect themselves from cracked screens and other iPhone mishaps.
SquareTrade does not cover hardware mods (e.g. filed-off serial numbers) but any software modifications are fine. SquareTrade's VP of Strategy Vince Tseng told GigaOM.com, that SquareTrade does not care what Apple users do to their software. "Our general philosophy is that if a device hasn't been played around with on the inside we don't have a problem with that. We are here to help the Apple community, and if they want something Apple doesn't provide we are here for them," said Tseng.
Jailbreak Tweak Makes Arranging Icons Easier
AlwaysArrange is a simple jailbreak tweak that allows you to easily rearrange your Home screen icons without having to enter wiggle mode. Once installed you can tap any icon and move it anywhere on your Home screen. There is a Settings mode that allows you to toggle AlwaysArrange on and off, and you can also adjust the duration of the tap and hold time that it takes to move an app. To delete an app just tap the icon and slide it up to the status bar to enter wiggle mode.
Dev Team Releases RedSn0w Update for Mac and Windows (v. 0.9.10b7)
The iPhone Dev Team quietly released redSn0w 0.9.10b7 for Mac and Windows on Friday. The new version features a few improvements like the addition of the Corona A5 untethered jailbreak for the iPhone 4S and iPad 2. Version 0.9.10b7 also includes a re-install feature for jailbreakers who accidently uninstall the untether, and it can pull your SHSH blobs from the Cydia Store when injecting an IPSW.
RedSn0w 0.9.10b7 also supplies new information about your device. For example the Dev Team blog says it lets you know "whether your iPhone 3GS has the vulnerable baseband boot loader, or whether your iPhone 3GS has the old exploitable bootrom." The Dev Team also noted that "the next new feature to be added will be built-in restore support, to provide an alternative to iTunes restores."
iPhone Tweak Clears Notifications From Lock Screen
Too many notifications popping up on your iPhone lock screen? If your device is jailbroken, there's an easy way to clear iOS notifications without unlocking. ClearLockNotifications is a simple tweak that adds more functionality to the lock screen without complexity.
There are no icons or settings for ClearLockNotifications once installed. The first way to clear your lock screen notifications is to touch and drag down on the lock screen. When dragging down to clear notifications, the text "Pull down to clear" will appear over the clock.
Prank Your Family and Friends With a Fake Email
Another prank app has hit the Cydia app store. Anonysend allows you to annoy your family and friends by sending fake semi-anonymous emails. I said "semi" anonymous because the emails are logged with your IP address. Meaning you shouldn't use it to prank your boss or harass an ex-girlfriend because it can be traced back to you. This app is for fun. It's not for abusing people you do not like.
The application is easy to use if you have a jailbroken iPhone: Just fill in a fake sender name, fake sender email, email of the person you want to prank, add a subject and hit send. Unlike the SpoofApp that allows you to fake your caller ID and voice, Anonysend is free to download and use.

Jeju Island
by Joann Park
Jeju Island was definitely one of the highlights on our program. Everyone was excited to see the paradise of the east, and once we got off the plane we were pleasantly surprised with SUN!
This sustainable volcanic island had been a tourist hotspot—especially for honeymooners—for a long time. On our way to our hotel we saw countless hotels, hostels, motels, etc. My Korean aunt told me after Japan's tsunami incident, a huge influx of tourists had been flowing into Jeju. On our trip we especially saw a lot of Chinese tourists–many of the souvenir vendors were fluent in Chinese as well.
Upon our arrival, we were introduced to Dolhareubang (old grandfather stone statues), the official mascot of Jeju. You could see a characterized version everywhere..on posters, banners, and more! It is said that if you rub the nose of the statue, you will be blessed with a son.

For the artist Maria Raquel Cochez, her body is both her subject and medium; choosing to undergo and photograph 3 weight-loss surgery procedures, she catalogs a complex relationship with body image. For this series, titled "Life Performance," and subsequent videos, paintings, and photographs, the artist courageously addresses the difficult ways in which women are expected to conform to physical ideals. For "Life Performance," Cochez relinquishes all control, surrendering both her body and her camera, leaving others to cut, transform, and document her as she undergoes a breast reconstruction and implant and gastric bypass. Each photograph poignantly blurs the line between performance and experience, boldly welcoming the public into a profoundly private emotional space. Beautiful/Decay

Ford Windstar Problems
jay238 Posts: 13The steering wheel on my 95 vibrates a little while turning the wheels at a stop, but more noticeable is a whining/growling noise while doing it. Most likely, that is my power steering pump that is about to die.........ahh well i'll just keep on driving until it gets unbearable or fails.
The clunk in the tranny I figured was probably fairly normal, but an annoyance. The growl in the power steering pump does concern me. I've never had one make that noise before. It's a completely different setup, but the Superduties have had some problems with their PS pumps going out. They all made a growling noise prior to kicking the bucket.
Oh well, I guess that's what extended warranties are for.
dlarkins Posts: 2I have had the same blinking light problem in my van. After many attempts at repair, I have given up. The dealership could never figure it out. As for the leaky intake gasket, replacing it made a huge difference in the pinging and poor acceleration. Of course, it took the dealership 3 attempts to finally diagnose the problem. Currently my van in in the shop having the front struts and the transmission replaced. Thank goodness for the Ford EXP warranty...it has more than paid for itself. Tie rods have been replaced twice( gee ya think bad struts had anything to do with that?)rack has been replaced , tranny has been rebuilt twice (finally being replaced), a/c switches have been replaced(took care of the rear air coming on mysteriously)rear wiper has been replaced(kept falling off), the main light control has been replaced(took care of the headlights going off at inopportune times), the power steering pump has been replaced twice and the air intake valve controller has been replaced. All of this on a vehicle with less than 75K miles at 4 years...WOW...think next vehicle will be Japanese...I've had it with American made cars and the manufacturers refusal to own up to problems!!!
just4fun2 Posts: 461Yes, you have have more than your share of problems. I think that your dealership is your biggest problem. For a dealership to give up when they can't solve/fix a problem is unacceptable and this should have been taken up with Ford at the highest levels. A bad dealer will only create more problem than they can solve. Good Luck.
Sorry to hear about your (( Windstar problems, I have a 99 LX with 68K miles, I must agree with Justforfun2, I said the same thing he said before I even read his post which is that I think that your biggest problem is the dealer you're taking it to, there's no reason why a Transmission should be rebuilt twice then replaced on a car that has less than 75K miles on it, that's rediculous, they either never even opened the transmission in the first 2 times or they're just ripping you off, and I think most people on this post will agree with me, also your power steering pump was replaced twice....something is not right, you're definetly having electrical problems of some sort and unless they're effecting your mechanical parts then I don't know what to tell you, keep us posted and maybe try another dealer.Good luck
just wanted to remind everyone with not to forget the schedule maintenance stuff, it's extreemly important for that engine, such as Transmission service (DON'T FLUSH THE RADIATOR COMPLETELY, JUST CHANGE THE FLUID IN THE PAN AND THE FILTER), radiator and engine block flush, PCV valve, belts and hoses, air filter, fuel filter. refer to your owner manual for additional stuff.ALSO READ MY PRIOR POST ABOUT RE-PROGRAMMING THE TRANSMISION.
mted23 Posts: 16
tylerapex Posts: 14I had a 2000 SE and just traded in....I couldn't take the problems anymore. I've had to have the speed sensor on the transmission replaced, the fuel pump replaced (because the gas gauge broke), the idle valve replaced (van kept stalling with idle), power door lock on driver's side randomly worked (never did fix that), and the pinging problem you mentioned. I took it to the dealer for the pinging problem and they were able to use the OBD-II computer to diagnose the problem. They said the intake gasket needed to be replaced and wanted over $500 to do it. I did find a Quality Care authorized Ford Service Center NOT associated with a dealer in my area that does work for much cheaper so I'd try to find one of those. I never got it replaced so I can't tell if that actually fixed the problem or not. Sorry.
tmant Posts: 70I've disconnected the battery to reprogram my transmission but it never seemed to work.
Just to clarify, does the Windstar have 4 or 5 gears? (I have 2000 SE) I always thought it was 5 gears (including overdrive), but I'm starting to think it is 4 gears. And that the 3rd to 4th shift that I think I'm seeing is something with the differential locking and unlocking.
I say this because I now have a 4 speed automatic Elantra GT that does this. The shift from 3rd into 3.5 changes the RPMs just slighty, then another shift into the real 4th gear. I know the Elantra is only 4 gears including the overdrive gear (being the 4th gear itself). I just thought the Windstar was 4 gears plus a 5th overdrive gear.
What is it that you're trying to program? I've posted last week about this. The programming is simply the Transmission memorizing the driver's driving habits and adjusting to it. If you've been driving the van for a while before disconnecting the battery then you're not going to notice any difference because your driving habits are the same and they've been memorized. It's not going to shift any different that you would notice but it simply adjusts to your foot pressure and movement on the gas pedal so the transmission can adjust it's shifting. it takes a few hundred miles for the tranny to memorizes your driving habits sort of like it has to memorize a pattern. that's difficult to do if you and someone else drive the van. make sure all electronics are off before you do this and just drive the van as you would normal. Disconnect the battery for 60 seconds, reconnect it, start it up and let it run for 60 seconds, then drive the car.If you never disconnect the battery, the transmission would still adjust to your driving habits but it takes longer, so it's easier just to disconnect the battery if you just bought a used van so you can start with a fresh memory.
e350v10 Posts: 92We have a 2000 SEL. When the A/C has been running for awhile, the cabin starts to smell like exhaust. The dealer caulked some seams (Ford's recommendation) but there was no effect.
I suspect that the smell is coming into the cabin from the rear compressor. It is very pungent and may have something to do with the catalytic converter on very hot (100+) days.
The automatic doors also fail on hot days, and there is a large "clunk" when shifting from R to D. I have been told these problems are endemic to the Windstar.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
I wrote last month that my 2002 Ford Windstar gas mileage was going down. I bought it in March and it was getting 15.8, the dealer told me it would get 22. It has been getting worse the past few weeks and its down to 11.5. I took it in and had the oil changed, replace the air filter and had the brakes checked, they were just fine. Any suggestions?
Sorry, but our guesses would be just that: guesswork. There are a hundred things that can cause bad gas mileage. It needs to be diagnosed by a mechanic; it's just not something you can do over the internet. Are there any other symptoms that have gone along with the bad MPG?
When I wrote the first time the host said that low tires can effect the mileage. We checked the air pressure and it was 32, which is the norm for all our other cars for that size of tire. but when we looked closely at the tire it said 44psi so we raised it to 40 last night. Now its just wait and see. It runs real smooth, no other problems.
Stever@Edmunds YooperlandPosts: 39,015The number stamped on the sidewalls is the maximum pressure that the tire maker says is allowable.
The car manufacturer makes its own recommendation and tries to balance safety, handling, economy etc. The recommended pressure will be on a placard that's usually in your glove box or on the A pillar.
I don't recommend deviating a whole lot from Ford's recommended pressure, the Explorer fiasco notwithstanding.
More fuel economy tips here.

coachrip Posts: 3In reply to the post "is there ANYONE with a 1995 windstar that they are happy with or have had minimal repairs? Not ALL of them were doomed for failure, right? i bought a new 1995 and the only thing done to it was the head gasket recall -no other repairs. tons of city driving and lots of cargo hauling and people around the country, now with 176,000 miles and runs really well! I'm actually happy with my 1995 Windstar....it's been put too good use!"
I bought a 95 LX in 96 one year old with 20, ooo miles, and had the head gasket redone by the dealer. I loved, .........that's loved, ....past tense, that van and had planned on driving it for about 150,000 miles.....................Always had it serviced, etc, ........at 90,000 miles, ......water pump is going, A/C is gone, had the switch replaced once, ........took three years to find the sensor that was keeping the interior lights on, warning bell ringing, until over 10 miles an hour, head gasket is blown AGAIN, transmission is slipping, .......
I used to bleed ford blue, ............but I'm no longer blue, .......shopping for Honda or toyota.

Pittsburgh -- The Robert Morris University volleyball team, under the direction of 2008 NEC Coach of the Year Rob Thomas, was selected as the preseason favorite in the 2009 Northeast Conference Volleyball Preseason Coaches' Poll. The Colonials share the top spot with the Long Island Blackbirds. In 2008, the Colonials finished first in the NEC regular-season for the first time since 2004 with an undefeated 8-0 league mark and finished with an overall record of 19-10.
Defending NEC Tournament Champion Long Island collected five of nine first-place votes and defending NEC regular-season champion RMU earned three first-place votes to share the top spot. Central Connecticut grabbed the third spot, followed by Sacred Heart in the fourth slot. Saint Francis (Pa.) nabbed the final first-place vote and landed in the fifth spot, NEC newcomer Bryant was selected sixth and Fairleigh Dickinson finished in the seventh spot. Quinnipiac and St. Francis (N.Y.) rounded out the list with the eighth and ninth spot, respectively.
The Colonials return four starters from last year's NEC undefeated regular-season championship team. Highlighting the group of returnees are sophomore Alyssa Bennett (Ramona, Calif./ Ramona) and junior Amanda Graham (Melbourne, Fla./Eau Gallie). Bennett was one of the most decorated players in the league last season and was named the 2008 NEC Setter of the Year, NEC Rookie of the Year and was an All-NEC First Team Selection. In addition, she was named NEC Rookie of the Week five times and NEC player of the Week twice. She finished the season with 9.4 assists per game, which ranked second in the NEC and was also third on the team in digs with 218 and tied for first in service aces with 45. Graham was an All-NEC Second Team selection, who ranked second in the conference with a .312 hitting average. She shared the team lead for service aces with 45 and was second on the team with 214 kills. She also set a new RMU single-season record with 84 block assists.
Also returning to the court is sophomore Hannah Veith (Columbus, Ohio/Worthington) and junior Charla Drabant (Wheaton, Ill./Wheaton North). Veith led the circuit with a .367 hitting percentage, which was tied for second in the RMU single-season record books and was honored twice as the NEC Rookie of the Week during her freshman campaign. Drabant finished the season third on the team with 199 kills and fourth on the team with 184 digs.
The Colonials open their season Friday, Aug. 28, when they host Loyola (Md.) at 11:00 a.m. and Bowling Green at 7:00 p.m. at the Sewall Center Arena.
