Julie Bowen-osophy
Last night, in a Q&A moderated by Professor Lowry Marshall, Modern Family star Julie Bowen '91 spoke about her acting career, her experience at Brown, and how her college education has impacted her perspective in both her professional pursuits and her life in general. While her co-star Ty Burrell, who plays Phil Dunphy on the hit show, has his own (nonsensical) golden nuggets of "Phil's-osophy," Julie Bowen showed us that she had her own bits of wisdom to impart.
Go abroad: "As a blonde 20-year-old in Italy, you don't have to pay for shit."
Rock > SciLi: "When I went here, you could smoke in A Level … Why would you go anywhere else? You were a flask away from an academic party."
Don't date an actor: Julie explained that an ex-boyfriend, who was an actor, once told her, "'A relationship is a two-car garage, Julie, and an actor's ego takes up a space and a half.'"
It's OK to be genuinely confused by Sofia Vergara: "I first met her, and I was like, 'What is that?'"
It's OK not to know what to do with your concentration: "What was I supposed to be as an Italian Renaissance [concentrator], a kissing wench?"
Brown students are inevitably…well, "Brown": "I remember being called a whore of the commodity order, by my boyfriend, because I was wearing a skirt."

Since when did bugs ever stop publishers from releasing a game? That's what patches are for, right? I mean, it's not like anyone will mind when they release a shoddy product that barely works...
I have been Beta Testing this game for awhile and just wanted to let everyone know that there are still tons of bugs in the game and I have just cancelled my pre-order. There is no way the game will be ready in 9 days. And they want $14.99 a month but if you get a year it's $12.00 a month. I have had it preordered since the first of the year. I might think about it when the space expansion comes out but until then I will stick with Battlefield 1942, Medal of Honor and Flight Sims. Just wanted to give everyone my two cents in case you are thinking about buying this game.

lol to true Ink. Anyhow I'd play it but there's no way in hell I'm paying the monthly charges for games unless they were reasonable to me which of course these... aren't.
OK the NDA has been lifted and I can say my little rant about this game. Yes I beta tested it. BOOOORING. The graphics are great and so are the sound effects, however the missions are lame. i.e. Go destroy this, go give this to this person, etc. If you are looking for the excitement of the Star Wars Trilogy with all of the running around, shooting, and deep storylines you are not going to get it here. If you like D&D type of games, then you will have fun with this one. As for bugs, they need the Orkin man. If the game were to be released a month later or even in the Fall I would not have that much to say except for the Star Wars flavor just isn't there, but if you ordered the game, expect alot of bugs when you first get on. I cancelled my pre-order like I said and am holding off to see what the space expansion will look like. Now if you want to get what is sure to be a hit. go buy Battlefield 1942 and wait for the Galactic Conquest mod. It looks great, and very fun. There is already a desert combat mod and Vietnam mod out. Not to mention it is cheaper by $20.00 and you don't have to pay monthly to play online (like the $15.000 a month they want to play SWG). Any other Beta players of SWG agree? You can talk now the non-disclosure agreement is lifted.

For those of you who know us, we do things differently. I thought I would share something that I think even if you don't do things different, you can do this one thing differently and still stick to the way you do things.
#1) Instead of imbedding key messages directly into your video through video editing software, try XML for this one thing. A simple XML structure like <VideoAsset><TimeIn><message><TimeOut> gives you the ability to play a video, and dictate to something like the .flv format when a message comes in to the video based on a time variable and when the message goes out based on a time variable. Add multiple <TimeIn><message><TimeOut> capabilities and now you can embed and control text in video outside of video editing software.
#2) If your working with a restrictive budget, use images and audio in a sequenced order instead of video. Again using XML, structure how you want your images and audio sequences timed and control each item independently. Something like <interaction><TimeInImage><ImageAsset><TimeInAudio><AudioAsset><TimeOutAudio><TimeOutImage> gives you full control over bringing different images in, leaving them on screen for a certain amount of time, sequencing audio whether voice or sound and playing around with the timing for all of it.
As a last word, don't use video as a way to spruce up your course. Use video because you need to demonstrate body language, involve someone emotionally in a scenario, or some other valid instructional reason.

Man Arrested for Frowning During Olympic Event
Mark Worsfold, 54, a former British soldier and martial arts instructor, was sitting along a road on July 28 watching the Olympic men's cycling race when he was detained because police on security alert said his "behavior" had "caused concern." According to a report in The Guardian, Worsfold, after being handcuffed and taken to a police station, was told he was arousing suspicion because he "had not been seen to be visibly enjoying the event," to which he replied, truthfully, that he has Parkinson's disease, which causes facial rigidity. (After two hours of detention, he was released without charges.) [The Guardian, 8-8-2012]

Dear Valued Reader,
Record drought conditions in America have just driven corn and other agricultural commodities to record highs – with HUGE increases in food costs expected this fall.
Make no mistake – our food supply chain is in a precarious state. In a true crisis, few would be able to feed themselves and their families should grocery store shelves be emptied for more than a day or two.
But there's a LOT of folks out there making some BIG mistakes when putting together their emergency food back-up plan. If you have ever so much as considered stocking up on long-shelf-life food, you need to see this first – CLICK HERE NOW.
In Urgent Preparation,

View a photo essay on India's hidden war
The richest iron mine in India was guarded by 16 men, armed with Army-issued, self-loading rifles and dressed in camouflage fatigues. Only eight survived the night of Feb. 9, 2006, when a crack team of Maoist insurgents cut the power to the Bailadila mining complex and slipped out of the jungle cover in the moonlight. The guerrillas opened fire on the guards with automatic weapons, overrunning them before they had time to take up defensive positions. They didn't have a chance: The remote outpost was an hour's drive from the nearest major city, and the firefight to defend it only lasted a few minutes.
The guards were protecting not only $80 billion-plus worth of mineral deposits, but also the mine's explosives magazine, which held the ammonium nitrate the miners used to pulverize mountainsides and loosen the iron ore. When the fighting was over and the surviving guards rounded up and gagged, about 2,000 villagers who had been hiding behind the commando vanguard clambered over the fence into the compound and began emptying the magazine. Altogether they carried out 20 tons of explosives on their backs -- enough firepower to fuel a covert insurgency for a decade.
Four and a half years after the attack in the remote Indian state of Chhattisgarh, the blasting materials have spread across the country, repackaged as 10-pound coffee-can bombs stuffed with ball bearings, screws, and chopped-up rebar. In May, one villager's haul vaporized a bus filled with civilians and police. Another destroyed a section of railway later that month, sending a passenger train careening off the tracks into a ravine. Smaller ambushes of police forces on booby-trapped roads happen pretty much every week. Almost all of it, local police told us, can be traced back to that February night.
The Bailadila mine raid was one of India's most profound strategic losses in the country's protracted battle against its Maoist movement, a militant guerrilla force that has been fighting in one incarnation or another in India's rural backwaters for more than 40 years. Over the course of the half-dozen visits we've made to the region during the past several years, we've come to consider the attack on the mine not just one defeat in the long-running war, but a symbolic shift in the conflict: For years, the Maoists had lived in the shadow of India's breakneck modernization. Now they were thriving off it.
Only a decade ago, the rebels -- often, though somewhat inaccurately, called Naxalites after their guerrilla predecessors who first launched the rebellion in the West Bengal village of Naxalbari in 1967 -- seemed to have all but vanished. Their cause of communist revolution looked hopelessly outdated, their ranks depleted. In the years since, however, the Maoists have made an improbable comeback, rooted in the gritty mining country on which India's economic boom relies. A new generation of fighters has retooled the Naxalites' mishmash of Marx, Lenin, and Mao for the 21st century, rebranding their group as the Communist Party of India (Maoist) and railing against what the rebels' spokesman described to us as the "evil consequences by the policies of liberalization, privatization, and globalization."
Although it has gotten little attention outside South Asia, for India this is no longer an isolated outbreak of rural unrest, but a full-fledged guerrilla war. Over the past 10 years, some 10,000 people have died and 150,000 more have been driven permanently from their homes by the fighting. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh told a high-level meeting of state ministers not long after the Bailadila raid that the Maoists are "the single greatest threat to the country's internal security," and in 2009 he launched a military surge dubbed "Operation Green Hunt": a deployment of almost 100,000 new paramilitary troops and police to contain the estimated 7,000 rebels and their 20,000-plus -- according to our research -- part-time supporters. Newspapers run stories almost daily about "successful operations" in which police string up the bodies of suspected militants on bamboo poles and lay out their captured caches of arms and ammunition. Many of the dead are civilians, and the harsh tactics have polarized the country.
It wasn't supposed to be this way -- not in 21st-century India, a country 20 years into an experiment in rapid, technology-driven development, one of globalization's most celebrated success stories. In 1991, with India on the brink of bankruptcy, Singh -- then the country's finance minister -- pursued an ambitious slate of economic reforms, opening up the country to foreign investment, ending public monopolies, and encouraging India's bloated state-run firms to behave like real commercial ventures. Today, India's GDP is more than five times what it was in 1991. Its major cities are now home to an affluent professional class that commutes in new cars on freshly paved four-lane highways to jobs that didn't exist not so long ago.
But plenty of Indians have missed out. Economic liberalization has not even nudged the lives of the country's bottom 200 million people. India is now one of the most economically stratified societies on the planet; its judicial system remains byzantine, its political institutions corrupt, its public education and health-care infrastructure anemic. The percentage of people going hungry in India hasn't budged in 20 years, according to this year's U.N. Millennium Development Goals report. New Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore now boast gleaming glass-and-steel IT centers and huge engineering projects. But India's vast hinterland remains dirt poor -- nowhere more so than the mining region of India's eastern interior, the part of the country that produces the iron for the buildings and cars, the coal that keeps the lights on in faraway metropolises, and the exotic minerals that go into everything from wind turbines to electric cars to iPads.

Helicopters are once again in the air along the Colorado Front Range conducting evacuation operations in Boulder and Larimer Counties.
County officials are telling people to avoid floodwaters, which may be contaminated with sewage and contain unseen hazards such as nails. Some communities in Boulder and Weld counties, including Lyons, Firestone and Frederick, are under boil water advisories.
Rain ground recovery efforts from days of massive flooding across Colorado to a halt Sunday. Helicopters were prevented from conducting additional search and rescue efforts in Boulder and Larimer counties.
Rain has finally begun to subside across areas ravaged by historic floods in Colorado. Some communities and residents remain cut off though with limited supplies due to washed out roads.
Colorado remains under the spell of water. Steady rains Sunday hampered evacuation and rescue efforts and brought renewed warnings to a flood weary Front Range.

Oh dear I hope you don't torch/stand on my wife when she's using her chair! Unfortunately she's done her leg in recently (Doc says it's a cartilege problem) and now has trouble standing for long periods - hence the need to use a chair (though we promise to keep them a reasonable distance from the stage!).
We've also found that keeping clean is just as important as keeping dry, so we bring a small washing bowl and heat some water up for a morning wash (enviro-friendly soap of course) - no need to use wipes all the time or queue for showers every morning! Also agree with the comment re: no wellingtons/wet stuff in the sleeping area (another good use for black bags is to place wet stuff on overnight).
for get the ropes just make sure you bring some string (jute string is best)
Ooh! You said the scary word!!! (And I don't mean diablo or chain saw).

Catherine Zeta-Jones is ready to move forward.
After her much-publicized 2011 hospitalization for bipolar disorder, the "Playing for Keeps" star, 43, says she's officially done discussing it.
PHOTOS: Celebrity rehab centers
"You know what? I'm sick of talking about it because I never wanted to be the poster child for this," the actress said when asked about her struggle with mental illness on "Good Morning America" on Dec. 7. "I never wanted this to come out publicly. It came out, and I dealt with it in the best way I could, and that was just saying, 'Hey, I'm bipolar.'"
Michael Douglas' wife says she's not willing to let her disease define her -- or to play the "woe is me" card.
PHOTOS: What the stars are doing today
"Everyone has things going on and we deal with them the best we can. We can't jump from the rooftops shouting, 'I have this, look at me. Victim.' No, we all have issues in life," Zeta-Jones added. "I'm really happy I have great friends, great support and that's all I can do."

What's News
Small Businesses In 5 Cities Get Energy Aid
Nearly 800 small businesses in five Connecticut cities received grants from Operation Fuel's Project/BEST this year to cover some of their electricity costs and learn how to better control their energy use. Most of the 779 businesses chosen for the $1,000 grants were owned by women or members of minority groups, the nonprofit organization said (Hartford Courant, September 13, 2012).
Non-Profit Hopes To Help Small Biz Plug Into Energy Efficiency
Small businesses are struggling to plug into energy efficiency programs, a Bloomfield-based nonprofit reported following its inaugural campaign that paid $779,000 in electricity bills for companies in the state. Bloomfield-based Operation Fuel Inc., which offers energy assistance to households, made a foray into the small business sector over the last year, launching Project BEST (Business Energy Sustainability Team), which was funded with a $1 million grant from Dominion Resources Inc. and $150,000 from energy company PSEG (Connecticut Post, September 11, 2012).
Small Biz Receive $779K In Energy Grants
Bloomfield nonprofit Operation Fuel provided $779,000 in grants to 779 Connecticut businesses to promote energy conservation. Operation Fuel launched its Project/BEST program a year ago in Hartford, New Haven, Waterbury, New London, and Bridgeport to help offset rising energy expenses and introduce conservation measures (Hartford Busines Journal, September 12, 2012).
Businesses Get Energy Assistance
A new program to help New Haven companies reduce their energy costs is on track to dole out over $100,000 in grants to city small businesses. With its initiative "Project/BEST," private Connecticut-based nonprofit Operation Fuel has partnered with two utilities companies — Dominion Resources, Inc. of Virginia and Public Service Enterprise Group of New Jersey — to distribute $1,000 grants and run training sessions that promote energy efficiency. The initiative, which lasts through March 2, follows one in Hartford, in which 213 businesses received a total of $213,000 (Yale Daily News, February 27th, 2012).
Efficiency Workshop Slated For Thursday In New London
Operation Fuel will hold an energy efficiency workshop for small businesses Thursday at the New London Senior Center, 120 Broad St. The event is slated to run from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. About 50 New London small businesses are participating in Project/ BEST, and the workshops are part of that, according to Operation Fuel (Norwich Bulletin, March 27, 2012).

The capability of the compact camera continues to move forward at warp speed with Canon today announcing its latest PowerShot SX230 HS model, complete with 14X optical zoom, 12.1-Megapixel images and 1080P video. The integation of a GPS receiver in the SX230 HS is another pushing of the boundaries – in addition to the logical recording of the latitude and longitude of where the image was taken in each image's EXIF data, the camera comes with mapping software so you can see where the pics were taken on a map, plus an internal GPS logger, so you can track your route on a map, making it a useful application for day or longer term trips. All this for US$350 and available next month. Read More
The Arab world has a new sporting superstar following the success of Qatar's Nasser Saleh Al Attiyah in winning the 2011 Dakar Rally – the longest and toughest motor race in the world. Al Attiyah headed a 1-2-3 finish for Volkswagen's TDI diesel Touareg 3 race cars, while the usual suspects fought a tooth-and-nail battle on KTMs for the laurels – Depres and Coma battled throughout the event on times with Coma besting last year's winner at the end. In the truck section, Kamaz's Vladimir Chagin repeated last year's win while Red Bull sponsored the three major category winners for the third year in a row – we're not sure what that means but it's quite some feat.

In the beginning, the language of the World Wide Web was English. Times change though, and the United States' military's gift to civilization knows no national boundaries, and growing worldwide adoption of the Internet has changed the audience make-up to such an extent that the dominant language of the internet is about to become Chinese. That's not to say the Chinese are all that comfortable with this either. There has just been an official decree requiring the use of Chinese translations for all English words and phrases in newspapers, magazines and web sites. While all countries have watched the unregulated global nature of the internet erode traditional cultural values and the integrity of national languages, it seems the Chinese powers-that-be have concluded that the purity of the Chinese language needs to be preserved.

Now this is something that won't come along again. It's the favorite guitar of Jimi Hendrix. Voted by everyone from Rolling Stone to Time as the best guitar player ever, Hendrix favorite guitar was this vintage Epiphone FT79 and was "used for almost everything he composed" whilst he was in the United States. Given to a friend just before he died, it was subsequently on numerous recordings and film soundtracks including those by Dusty Springfield, Walker Brothers, Blue Mink, Paul McCartney and on David Bowie's Diamond Dogs. It's coming up for auction, and is estimated to fetch GBP80,000-120,000, which seems incredibly cheap for such a piece of musical history. Read More
Nissan will show a new car at the Los Angeles Motor Show later this week, which takes unique attributes from at least three different segments to create a vehicle seemingly purpose built for Southern California. Set to go on sale in early 2011, the Murano CrossCabriolet 2011 is an all-wheel drive crossover convertible which Nissan says has plenty of room for four adults, plus enough space for golf bags and luggage, even with the top down.

UVEX variotronic helmet visor automatically adjusts to light
Riding a motorcycle into bright sunlight can produce some dire outcomes, and though there are some manual solutions which significantly reduce the risk, there's never before been a solution quite like this one. This year's Intermot Motorcycle show in Koln will see a significant and long awaited "first" for motorcyclists – a "variotronic" helmet visor. This double lens visor from UVEX can be electronically switched from light to dark by pressing a button and it can even be switched to automatic mode, where the lens is controlled directly by an integrated photo cell.

Not all that long ago, the mere thought of running a diesel in any form of motorsport would have had you laughed at. Diesel victories are now commonplace in long distance races thanks to the excellent power characteristics, reliability, the low fuel consumption of diesel engines and a battle between the two main TDI-engined cars in the form of the Peugeot 908 and Audi's R15. Audi Sport Team Joest added to the diesel legend on the weekend with a 1-2-3 victory using newly developed Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG) turbo-chargers on the R15's 440 kW V10 engine. The Peugeot 908s locked out the first two rows in qualifying and led the race until the 16 hour mark, but one by one, they suffered engine failure, and after 24 hours, Audi took all three steps on the podium. It wasn't exactly a rerun of the hare and the tortoise though, as the winning R15 racked up more 5,410 kilometers - more distance than has ever been achieved in 78 prior runnings of the French endurance classic. This was all the more remarkable in that it eclipsed a record set in 1971 by a Porsche 917 when the Hunaudières straight had no speed-slowing chicanes. Well done Audi! Read More
We know that the grass is always greener on the other side… but do the cars also have to be greener elsewhere too? Mazda's Carol micro-mini is only available in Japan yet its excellent fuel economy, affordability and specifications read like a wish list for commuters the world over - 4WD, 55 mpg, CVT, keyless entry, keyless start system, immobilizer, DOHC VVT motor, four-wheel ABS, electronic brake distribution (EBD), brake assist, split folding rear seats, heated seats… there's even wing mirror heaters to prevent fogging on cold mornings.

Authorities around the world have long puzzled how to effectively deter those who would endanger innocent lives by driving recklessly on public roads. Car confiscation laws are now in place in many jurisdictions within America, Canada, Australia, Holland, Israel, South Africa and Poland, and in Iran you can have your car confiscated if it is carrying a pet or an inadequately covered female or playing loud music – indeed, in Iran, you can even be imprisoned and flogged for driving offences. Maybe that would be preferable for some, compared to what happened to this guy. Read More
RM Auctions' inaugural Sporting Classics of Monaco event held on Saturday leaves little doubt that fine automobiles can be a rapidly appreciating investment. The average price achieved by the 88 cars which crossed the block was in excess of US$500,000 while the highest price fetched was EUR2,800,000 (US$3,799,600) for a 1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica Cabriolet Pininfarina SWB (pictured top right). Some remarkable cars were sold on the day, including (pictured clockwise from bottom right) one of the world's most significant pre-war sports racing cars, the 1937 BMW 328 MM 'Buegelfalte' (undisclosed but believed to be in excess of US$6 million), a handmade Rolls Royce which was the most expensive car made in the world in 1933 (US$1,975,792) and a Maserati Tipo 61 'Birdcage' (US$3,343,648).

Introduction: A journey begins | ||
I leaned back on the roof, it wouldn't be long before the merchant left with his wife for their evening walk. While I waited, I thought over the past year and a half. I remembered those first lessons Camden had taught. It had taken me months to master all the locks he had shown me and I still took lessons with the three sword masters. He also taught me to read and write, I was getting good at it too. Maybe that was why he had hired the old elf to teach me both the high and low language of the elves. I heard a door slam over the edge of the roof and saw the merchant and his wife walk off down the street. Moving to the back of the house I took off the small pack and pulled out a grapple and short rope. I hooked the grapple onto the gutter and swung over the edge of the roof. I climbed down the rope to the topmost window and hooked the rope with one leg. Keeping a grip with one hand I pulled out my dagger and slid the point into the crack of the window. By pressing up, the old lock popped up and the window swung open. I put the dagger away and pulled myself through the window. I stopped to listen for a minute and then went to the door and opened it quietly. Glancing left and right, I turned to the left and went down the hall to the stairs. I went down the stairs to the second floor and followed the hall to the front of the house, that was where I thought the merchant's bedroom would be. It turned out to be behind the third door. Once in the room I looked around until I saw a desk with a large chest sitting next to it. Crossing to the chest I knelt and examined the lock. Nodding to myself, I reached into my pouch and pulled out a small kit. It was only a moment later that I heard a click from the lock. I replaced the wrench and pick and then put the kit back into my pouch. Standing to the side I opened the chest and looked in. I made sure there were no traps before sorting through the chest. I found a small chest with expensive spices, a large pouch full of coppers, a second pouch half full of silver crowns and the last item was another small chest. Opening the chest I was surprised. In ten neat columns were gold pieces and on the right side were three small pouches. Opening one pouch I saw it was filled with small gems of all sorts. The second pouch was the same, but in the third one there were only twelve gems but the size and quality is what surprised me. They were easily worth twice the gold in the chest. Putting the pouches in my vest pockets I took an empty pouch from inside my shirt and poured the gold into it. I tied the pouch to my belt and replaced the small chest. As I started to close the lid he saw something in one corner, reaching in I found it was a stiletto. When I pulled it out of the sheath, I saw the silvery runes on the blade. I unwound the leather on the handle and looked in amazement at the small handle. It was in the shape of a cat, with chips from every type of gem covering it. Shaking my head I quickly wrapped it back up and stuck it in my belt. Closing the lid I crossed to the door and stepped out into the hall. I paused to listen and then went back up the stairs. Going back to the room I had entered the house from I closed the door and went to the window. Looking out I didn't see anyone so I reached out and grabbed onto the rope, as I pulled himself out I pulled the window closed. After reaching the roof, I replaced the grapple and rope in my pack. I untied the pouch of gold and put it in the pack as well. After closing the pack, I put it on and crossed the roof. When I reached an alley at the other end of the block I climbed down a drain pipe and walked to the street. Walking towards where my cache was I came to the edge of the animal pens. I decided to take a short cut through the pens and as I was passing an area with larger cages I noticed a man feeding one of the animals. When I looked closer I saw that it was not an animal but a Kaire, one of the four people. Interested, I waited until he finished. When he moved off I watched him turn a corner and then went up to the cage. As the catlike being looked up at me I spoke in high elven, "Why are you being kept like this?" Surprised the Kaire moved to the bars, "Because these humans think I am an animal. Who are you, human?" I looked at him closely, "I am called, Kevin." The Kaire nodded, "I am Farrell." "How did you come to be here Farrell?" He scowled, "Hunters came into our woods. When they saw my sister, they thought she was an animal and killed her. When I found her, I vowed vengeance and followed them out of the woods. After a couple of days I fell ill and was much weakened. A caravan found me and here I am." I thought for a minute and then broke the silence, "I will help you, have patience and I will free you." "When?" I smiled, "Tomorrow. I must buy provisions." With that I walked towards my cache. Winding my way through the streets I came to the inner wall, turning to the right I went into an old warehouse that was partially collapsed. As I went in I turned towards the wall again. Making my way through rubble I came to the old office. Going to the side I climbed up a ladder until I came to what was left of the catwalk. I went to the wall and pulled out two blocks that had been shaved on the back. There was a larger space behind the wall, inside was a pack, a quiver full of arrows and a new bow. I pulled the pack out and opened an outside pocket. Inside I found some squirrel skin pelts, I had paid some children one copper for every pelt they brought. I still had a large sack full of pelts, both squirrel and rabbit. I took off the small pack I was wearing and opened it. I took out the pouch of gold and opened it. I counted out half and put the pouch back. I counted out twenty gold pieces from the other half and then put them in my belt pouch. I made equal columns with the rest and wrapped each column in a squirrel skin and put them in the large pack. I took the small pouch with the twelve gems out of my vest pocket. Turning the large pack on its side, I unlaced what seemed like the bottom seam. After I had opened it a little I placed the gems inside and laced it by up. Replacing the pack behind the wall and put the two blocks of stone back. Going down the ladder I noticed how dark it was getting. At the door I stayed in the shadows and checked the street. When I thought it was clear I left the building and made my way to the abandoned building Camden lived in. Going to the back I knocked on the panel. When it opened I stepped in. The first thing I noticed was Egan, my teacher. Stepping up to the table I looked back at Camden, who was closing the panel, "Am I interrupting something?" Egan smiled, "No, I was just visiting. I have told Camden how fast you were learning." I smiled, "I like what you teach." He rose and went to the panel with Camden, "Its getting late and I should be going." I sat my small pack on the table and took a seat, waiting for Camden to come back. He returned to the table and sat, "Well, what have you been up to?" I smiled warmly at my friend, "Oh, this and that." As I finished speaking I opened my small pack and pulled out the pouch of gold and set it on the table. He opened the pouch and looked inside and then back at me in surprise, "What have we here?" I just smiled and put the two small pouches from my vest on the table. Camden smiled, "Have you put anything in your cache?" I laughed, "Aye, half the gold and one pouch of gems." He nodded as he started counting the gold, "no one saw you?" "No one." I said nothing about the divided money. I knew it went to pay for the lessons with my sword masters, it also paid for my lessons with Egan. There was also his commission as my master. Looking at him, I saw a man in his middle years with dark hair and eyes that were blue. He looked up from counting, "Is something wrong?" "I think I am going to take a vacation. Maybe do some hunting. I begin to miss the woods." Camden sat back and looked at me, "you'll come back?" I smiled, "I might be gone awhile but I'll be back. I'll keep my room at the inn." He nodded, "I'll leave any messages at the inn. To many know where to find me." He finished counting and put one of the small pouches of gems in his vest. He picked up the gold and put it in a chest, "I'll miss you. Take care and watch out for snow cats. They've been seen in the valleys." I smiled, "I'll bring you a pelt." I put the small pouch of gems in my vest before standing and moving to the panel. Camden crossed the room and offered his hand, "Good luck." Shaking his hand I opened the panel and left. Winding my way through the streets I came to the Black Oak. I had been staying at the inn for nine months now. I had rented the attic, it had the space I needed for my exercises and it gave me the privacy I wanted. Going in the front door I saw Bromley the innkeeper sitting at a table and he waved me over. As I came to the table he indicated a chair, "Would you like some dinner?" Sitting down I nodded and he waved as Fiona came into the room. When she reached us Bromley grinned, "Dinner Fiona." She laughed, "You'll want ale too?" I laughed as well and Bromley smiled, "Aye lass, bring ale." I grinned, Bromley was a rather plump man with dark hair and green eyes. He always seemed to have a smile, his wife was completely different. She was tall for a woman, just under six feet. She had blonde hair, blue eyes and she was all business. There were times she was like her husband though. I looked at him, "I will be going away for awhile, hunting I think." He returned my look, "the woods are not for the young." I smiled, "I lived in the great forest for a year after my parents died." Bromley sat back in surprise, "you never told me. I'm sorry." I kept smiling, "It was years ago." The door to the kitchen opened and Fiona came out with a tray, behind her was Leilani, Bromley's wife. She had two tankards of ale, Fiona set the tray on the table. There were two large venison steaks, some greens, a half loaf of bread and some cheese. Leilani set the tankards down and smiled at me. Bromley cleared his throat, "Kevin was just telling me that he was leaving." I looked up, "I don't know how long I'll be gone but I would like it if you would keep my room. I'll pay of course." She frowned, "We'll keep the room for you of course and we'll miss you." After dinner I went upstairs but I stopped at Bromley's door and knocked and Leilani answered, "I'll be leaving early in the morning." I counted out several gold pieces and handed them to her, "I shouldn't be gone that long but if I am keep the room and I will pay you what is owed." She was surprised, "you think you will be gone this long?" I nodded, "Yes, it's very possible." "Take care and return when you can." In my room I looked around, it wasn't a bad place for a half silver a week. Sighing I thought of what I was going to do. Tomorrow would be a long day and there would be a lot to do. Going into the back room I undressed and went to bed. I woke early as was my custom, going to my clothing chest I put on black pants and shirt with a leather vest. Taking my short sword off the wall, I slung the sword over my right shoulder and fastened the tip to his left hip. I took out the new pair of black boots and put them on. I slipped a stiletto into my right boot and strapped another in its sheath to my right forearm. Picking up the third I saw it was the one I had taken yesterday and strapped it to my left forearm. Closing the chest, I stepped onto the lid and reached up to the rafter. Feeling along the top I found the hole I had carved into it and pulled out the pouch of gold I had saved. Stepping down I dusted the top of the chest and took the green cloak from a peg on the wall. I took a last look around and then walked to the door and left. Leaving the inn I made my way to the animal pens and to the Farrel's cage where I saw the owner bringing him breakfast. Coming up to the cage I saw that he was awake and watching me, "how much are you asking for the beast?" The man looked over his shoulder at me, "What would you do with it?" I shrugged, "That's my business." He looked at me for a minute, "All right boy." I began bargaining and after several minutes we finally reached a price. I opened my pouch and to the owner's surprise counted out the gold. The merchant counted it again and then smiled as he pulled a key out of his vest and handed it to me, "Good luck and watch your hands." He turned and walked off and I watched him leave and then turned and walked to the door of the cage, "we have much to do so stay close." I opened the door and Farrell stepped out slowly, "It has been so long since I walked free." I smiled, "Come we need horses." Turning I headed for the corrals and Farrell waited a moment and then followed, "Why are you doing this?" I slowed, "I don't know. I feel a need to get away and you needed help." We started off again and didn't stop until we reached the horse corrals. We stopped at one of the better looking ones and the owner came over to us keeping his eyes on Farrell, "Can I help you young Sir?" I smiled, "I want to buy two horses with all their gear." He looked at me closely, "Can you afford it?" I just continued to smile and he turned to look at the horses. After a couple of minutes I pointed out a grey stallion, "How much for that stallion?" The trader looked at the horse and then at me, "You know about horseflesh anyway." We bargained and he threw in the saddle and bridle. I looked at Farrell, "Do you see one you like?" He looked back at me, "I have never ridden a horse but I will learn." He turned and pointed to a black mare, "Perhaps that one." I turned to the trader, "My friend would like the black mare." The trader looked at Farrell, "To eat or ride?" I laughed, "To ride. We have a long way to go." The trader nodded and then looked at the mare. We started bargaining until we agreed on a price and I thought about it, "You'll throw in the gear?" He trader took a moment to think about it and then agreed. While I counted out the money the trader had one of his handlers catch and saddle the horses. When the handler brought the horses I gave the trader the gold. At first the horses were afraid of Farrell but when he started talking to them they quieted down. Leading the horses I headed for the marketplace and as we got close I noticed the attention Farrell attracted. I stopped at one of the first stalls and purchased a long grey cloak and gave it to him. I studied the cat like creature as he put the cloak on, "I don't know your customs but you are drawing attention to us. Do your people use weapons?" He was six feet tall, only a couple of inches taller than me, "Yes, the bow and sword." I nodded, "Then that's our next stop." I led the way to one of the many weapon booths. Tying the horses to one of the posts we went in. I called out to the booth's owner, "Braden are you here?" "I'm in the back. Be there in a minute!" I had met Braden at the inn, he was courting Fiona. He was a big man with blonde hair and a beard, "I have business for you!" I pointed, "why don't you look through those weapons in that corner." As Farrell went over to the weapons I started going through the pile I was standing by. I found a leather case about three and a half feet in length. As I opened it I heard the smith enter, looking over a rack of weapons the smith smiled, "I see you found one of my prizes." I grinned, "What is it?" Braden started crossing the room, "Open it, I'll put it together and you can see." I opened it and Braden took it out, when he put it together I saw that it was a crossbow. It was all metal, the stock was only a frame. The rear sight had a small knob on the side to change the distance. It had three settings; one, two and three hundred paces. When I felt it, I liked it right away. It was very light weighting less then four pounds. Looking up I saw Farrell crossing the room carrying a long, hand and a half sword that was a dull silver color, "You found something you like?" He nodded, "Yes but how it came to be here I don't know." Braden turned surprised, "I didn't know we weren't alone." After looking at Farrell for a moment he looked at the sword, "That one came back with one of the caravans. It belonged to one of the guards that died during a raid." After bargaining for a few minutes I bought the sword and crossbow. Braden threw in fifty bolts and a large dagger by the time we were done. Farrell strapped the sword over his right shoulder under his cloak, he cut a hole for the sword to stick through. I took the crossbow apart and replaced it in the case, "Thanks Braden." He waved it away, "Come see me when you come back." Going out to the horses I tied the case and two quivers behind the saddle. Leading the way I headed for the fletching stalls. When we reached them I headed for Kane's. He had the best reputation and I had used his arrows before, "Kane, my friend has need of a bow. What do you have?" He grinned and looked from Farrell to me, "My young friend you came back and you bring me more business. Good, good. I only have five bows right now, wait a moment and I will bring them out." When he returned he had the bows in his arms. One was a plain oak hunting bow, two were iron wood hunting bows, another was a carved war bow made from iron wood. The last one was an intricately carved war bow made of an Ivory like material, "What is this last one made of?" He grinned, "If you believe the merchant it is from the horn of a sea dragon." I handed the bow to Farrell, "What do you think?" Farrell took the bow and after looking it over he drew it back a couple of times and then he looked at the fletcher, "May I try it?" Kane grinned, "Follow me." He led us behind his stall where there was a narrow passageway with a target set up at the other end, "From here it is fifty paces." He gave Farrell three arrows, setting two aside he shot the first, it was an inch above center. Nodding to himself he picked up the second and shot it. It struck in the center, the third landed beside the second almost touching. Going back into the stall I asked for fifty arrows in two quivers. After a short time bargaining I bought the bow and arrows. Leaving I handed Farrell one quiver of arrows. After securing the quivers on the horses I untied them and led them into the marketplace. After stopping at several stalls we had two bags of supplies for the trip and I headed for my cache. When we reached the warehouse I had him wait. Inside I took out the pack, bow and quiver. I put the pack on and secured the quiver to my belt and picked up the black iron wood bow I had carefully made myself. Taking a last look around I went down the ladder and out of the building. I shifted things around and placed the pack behind the saddle. After showing Farrell how to mount up, I helped him into the saddle and then mounted my own horse. Riding towards the gate I stopped at a small shop and went in. After a couple of minutes I came out with a bedroll and ground tarp. I handed them to Farrell and then mounted my horse again and led the way to the gate. Once outside the city I led the way southeast, a couple of hours later we came to the edge of the forest. I stopped and took a long look back, sighing I turned and rode into the woods with Farrell beside me. |

- Most clicked
Jul 24, 2012The production has kept the focus exactly where it should be: on the longing of his voice... it's given him a deeper, haunting sense of quiet that strips these melodies to their essential, fragile beauty, delivered with joy, grace, and a wounded wisdom. [No.89 p.60]
Jul 9, 2012Rhythm and Repose [is] the superb solo outing from Glen Hansard.
Jun 27, 2012In tone and approach it suggests the populism of a lost Cat Stevens classic ("High Hopes," in particular) but with enough interesting detours.
Sep 12, 2012Hansard gave himself a hard act to follow, but he pulls it off with Repose. He doesn't shun the sound that made the Once soundtrack a hit, but he does expand his palette and show off the breadth of his songwriting prowess.
Jun 27, 2012Hansard stayed close to his previous musical muses and stylistic choices, leaving his debut solo effort feeling like a continuation of prior efforts, rather than a foray into new material.
Jun 27, 2012It's the rare solo record that tries on new clothes while still making sure the old ones fit.
Jul 3, 2012Rhythm & Repose is never boring or lacking in tension, but it also doesn't incite nearly as much excitement as it Hansard's previous work.
Oct 17, 2012Piano-led ballad rock songs tell their own story of heavy-duty emotional drag but Hansard's voice carries such weight you can forgive him. [Jul 2012, p.102]
Jul 18, 2012Love = drama + melodrama on Glen Hansard's moonstruck solo debut.
Jul 5, 2012It's not exactly a fun listen, but fans will eat it up.
Jun 27, 2012Overall, it's a pretty somber affair, conjuring up images of humid, ashtray-filled midnights spent gazing out of a tenth story window, contemplating whether or not the fall would kill or just cripple you.
Jul 5, 2012Lyrically the tone is disappointingly mawkish. [Aug 2012, p.73]
Jul 2, 2012The album is slow and steady without ever finding its pinnacle.

For the all-new seventh-generation Corvette, Chevrolet has revived the haloed Stingray name, last used in the mid-1970s. The 2014 Stingray coupe is available first, and features a Targa-type design with a storable carbon-fiber roof panel.
The Corvette, America's seminal sports car, turned 60 this year. After consistently expanding the performance and handling envelope of the sixth-generation 'Vette with standout variants such as the Z06 and ZR1, Chevrolet had likely reached the limits of that platform. Enter the Corvette Stingray, which literally stole the show at the Detroit Auto Show last January, headlining the seventh generation of General Motors' perennial halo car. This spectacular entrance was followed, shortly after, by the unveiling of the Stingray convertible at the Geneva Motor Show.
Reviews: Find expert and user reviews
Model lineup
The name Stingray has been given to very few production versions of the Corvette and was originally written as two words for the now legendary 1963 "split window" coupe. The new Stingray coupe will be available first, in the last days of summer 2013. It is a Targa-type design with a carbon-fiber roof panel that can be securely stored in the rear cargo bay. Yet the new seventh-generation Corvette — aka the C7 — was designed from the start as a convertible. This variant will be available at the end of the year, with a new canvas top that can be opened or closed in about 20 seconds at speeds of up to 30 mph, or with the key fob while parked.
Both versions share a new aluminum chassis that is 57 percent stiffer than the outgoing Z06 Corvette's, yet almost 100 pounds lighter. For the first time, the frame will be fabricated on site at the Corvette's dedicated plant in Bowling Green, Ky.
The new Corvette is 2.3 inches longer and 1.3 inches wider. Its wheelbase has grown a full inch, and its front and rear wheel tracks are wider by 0.9 and 1.0 inch. But it is also half an inch lower — your eyes will make you swear it's smaller.
View Pictures: Corvette Stingray
The Stingray feels smaller at all times from the driver's seat, due to smart touches such as a new steering wheel that is slightly smaller in diameter. In spite of the standard carbon-fiber hood and roof, stiff magnesium seat frames and systematic use of lightweight materials, this slightly larger Corvette is about 90 pounds heavier than its predecessor. That said, it is both quicker and more fuel-efficient.
In addition to expected creature comforts, the standard kit includes a new 5-mode drive program selector with 12 variables, a new 7-speed manual gearbox with a clever rev-matching mode, full steering-wheel power adjustments, two 8-inch control and infotainment screens, keyless start, a 9-speaker Bose audio system with satellite radio and Bluetooth connectivity with multiple media connectors.
Optional packages can add a navigation system and plenty of additional luxury trim and comfort items, but the clincher is the Z51 performance package — an absolute steal at $2,800. To the engine, it adds dry-sump lubrication for safer high-load cornering and a less-restrictive variable exhaust system that adds a touch more horsepower and torque. You also get larger wheels, stickier tires, larger and tougher brakes, bigger shocks with special tuning, and a new electronic limited-slip differential with specific cooling.
Watch Video: Inside Cars: The iconic Chevrolet Corvette Stingray
Under the hood
The engine remains an overhead-valve unit with an aluminum block and heads, but it is essentially all new, save for a couple of bolts or screws. Now with direct injection, continuously variable valve timing and a host of leading-edge technologies, the 6.2-liter LT1 V8 develops 455 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 460 lb-ft of torque at 4600 rpm — numbers that go to 460 horsepower and 465 lb-ft with the Z51 package.
The standard gearbox is a new 7-speed manual with a clever rev-matching mode you turn on or off with steering-mounted paddles that are also used for the optional 6-speed automatic's manual mode. The first three gears of the manual are shorter for stronger initial acceleration. Chevrolet claims a scorching zero-to-60-mph time of 3.8 seconds for the Stingray. Launch control is available for both the manual and automatic in Track mode, one of the five modes you can pick with a drive selector knob on the console.
In spite of all this thunder, the Stingray flaunts excellent Environmental Protection Agency ratings of 17 mpg city/29 mpg highway with the manual. The highway rating even goes to 30 mpg in Eco mode, thanks to electronic cylinder deactivation that virtually turns the LT1 into a V4 engine under light loads. The system works like a charm with the manual, and it is effective in other modes with the automatic.

GTA vice city problem -cars veering left
I'm having a frustrating problem with Vice City on the nexus 7 - whenever I try to drive straight the car always veers to the left, in any car I pick up. Scooters and bikes seem to be fine. Anyone else have this problem? It's pretty unplayable the way it is.
Can I get a refund if it can't be fixed? - 12-24-2012, 01:48 PM #2
Re: GTA vice city problem -cars veering left
You can change the controls. It defaults to gyroscope which I hate. I switched it to joystick like in gta3.
I would guess your gyroscope is off. There are apps you can download to test this and possibly recalibrate.

I would keep the lithium but change the luvox to nortryptaline.
The lithium-nortryptaline combination is probably the most studied combination for certain cases of treatment resistance.
It also seems to be the combination that statistically reduces ECT relapse the most significantly.

Quebec nixes tanning for under-18s
Quebec is making tanning salons illegal for under-18s. I find this so bizarre – I've always pictured them as the desperate resort of the unattractively aging. Are there really teenagers lining up to use them?
Quebec is making tanning salons illegal for under-18s. I find this so bizarre – I've always pictured them as the desperate resort of the unattractively aging. Are there really teenagers lining up to use them?
It's the poor mans tropical vacation and the rich man's spray on tan.
Funny enough, when I think of artificial tans, my thought go to something like this:
Oh man, Kate, remind yourself never to watch "Toddlers & Tiaras."
I haven't seen statistics, but I bet that teenage girls are the primary users of tanning salons here. When my 22-year-old slave-to-fashion stepdaughter was a teenager, she and her friends considered tanning salons mandatory, like having a cellphone, going to the hairdresser, or buying jeans from Parasuco.
Whoops, I didn't read the Presse article far enough to see the stats at the bottom, which seem low to me, but maybe my view is distorted by my stepdaughter's social circle, where literally all her friends went to the tanning salon at least once a month except during summer.
How on earth do they afford cellphones, Parasuco jeans and trips to the tanning salon??
They get after-school jobs, if they want to make money legitimately. Unfortunately not all of them want to make money legitimately and they pursue other options (selling drugs, prostitution, stealing, etc.).
When you don't have any rent or bills to pay and get minimum wage for a part-time job, you're pretty rich!
Maybe it's a good idea to force students to take undignified jobs that destroy their idealism and mental/physical health. This will prepare them for the cynical cubicle-slavery that awaits them in the "real" economy after they graduate. Forget the Plan Nord – the Plan Cubicle is just as destructive to those who work in them.
Are you actually advocating theft and prostitution? take your meds!
qatzelok, sometimes I wonder if you are joking when you write certain things. You make me chuckle.
Heavens knows I am stressed enough to know I need it!
Thanks!!!! :)

Sensational Miller stones Bruins
Ryan Miller made 35 saves and Derek Roy scored the clinching goal in a shootout as host Buffalo beat the Bruins, 2-1 in a shootout on Friday night, ensuring that Boston once again failed to notch back-to-back victories.
Andrej Sekera scored in regulation and Thomas Vanek added a shootout goal for the Sabres, who moved within five points of Florida for eighth place in the Eastern Conference.
The Bruins, who won at St. Louis on Wednesday, have not won back-to-back games since Jan. 10 and 12.
David Krejci went to the backhand on Boston's first attempt in the shootout, skipping it over Miller's pad. Vanek responded with a blast from the slot to knot it at a goal apiece.
After three total missed opportunities, Roy went wide and cut to the slot, beating Tuukka Rask for the clincher in the fourth round.
The Bruins got the tying goal at the 3:36 mark of the third period on the power play. Chara intercepted a clearing attempt and blasted a shot from the right point.
The Sabres had taken the lead with 5:15 left in the second, when Sekera took a feed from Tyler Ennis and beat Rask with a wrister from the right face-off circle.
GAME NOTEBOOK: The Bruins did not commit a penalty in the contest. ... Buffalo captain Jason Pominville was held off the scoresheet for only the second time in the last 10 games. ... The Bruins squandered a power-play opportunity in overtime.

Flew for five minutes, only took 53% out of my pack!! Love the motor I have in this plane.....

Kendal Duque leaving Sepia; Andrew Zimmerman named new chef
Posted by Phil Vettel at 3:22 p.m. CT
Kendal Duque (right), executive chef at three-star Sepia (123 N. Jefferson St., 312-441-1920) has announced his departure, effective the end of March. He will be replaced by Andrew Zimmerman, formerly chef de cuisine at NoMI and one-time chef at Mod and Del Toro restaurants in Wicker Park.
Duque, a semifinalist for the James Beard Foundation's Best Chef: Great Lakes award for 2009, is leaving to start his own restaurant. "I've had that inkling for a while now," he says. "I'm pretty proud of the success we've had, and I'm ready for something more challenging, and an attempt at chef ownership is where my career seems to be leading to."
"I feel like a proud father, seeing his kid go off to work after college," says Emmanuel Nony, Sepia's owner, "He's been working so hard, done such great work. And he's so talented, I know he's going to be very successful."
Duque has a concept--he's not giving details presently--and a business plan that's "getting there." He intends to start scouting locations soon, but "I'm staying in Chicago for sure," he says.
Duque will be with Sepia for the remainder of March. "My last day will probably be, oh, Sunday the 29th," he says. "Maybe we'll have a special prix-fixe dinner, a little bit of excitement. We've just begun talking about that today."

The Libyco-Punic mausoleum is one of very few ruins from the time before the Romans. It dates back to 3rd century BC, and even if it is small, it could be worth the whole trip to Dougga in itself. It stands 21 meters high at the south edge of the town. It is sometimes considered as the sepulture of a Numidian king, Ataban. It is more likely to be a mausoleum. A stele bearing the names of its builders and Numidian princes who were believed to have resided in Thugga once ornamented it. A British consul stole the stone that is now found in the British Museum. The mausoleum was half destroyed and had to be rebuilt.
Musti is now a very small village, 11 km from Dougga, on the road to El Kef. Just by the road stands a Triumph Arch in very good condition. Actually, the Roman road from Dougga to El Kef and Annaba passed under the arch. It is 5.30 meters wide, as the rule requires it. When the road had to be widened, it was created parallel to the old Roman way. The Roman city of Musti is mostly undug but it has a very beautiful Roman basilica with baptistery, a Temple to Apollo, some minor Temples and a good length of Roman way.
Lybico punic mausoleum has 3 superposed tiers, the top crowned by a pyramidal roof, formerly flanked by 4 harpies. From the ground up, each tier is separated from the next by steps and decorated with Ionic columns. The 2nd tier is decorated with horsemen, the 3rd with bas-relief quadrigas.
This mausoleum stands in the country, not far from Dougga. It has a look that is evidently closely related to the mausoleum standing near Dougga but I have not found any information to identify it more precisely. Anyway, it has to be another Lybico-punic mausoleum
This beheaded statue did not bear any sign for identification and though I have extensively searched in guide-books, in specialized books on the Roman history of Tunisia as well as on the net with no avail. I would bet for Jupiter but as we say in French "Je n'en donnerai pas ma tête à couper"
This is (possibly/potentially) a smaller sibling of Dougga's more famous Theatre - the archaeologists don't seem to have a single opinion onthe subject, but the prevailing interpretation has been that the tracesof remains in the northwest of the site do mark the site of theamphitheatre
Just off the "Rose of the Winds" square, facing the ancient market
Dedicated to Tellus (that's the Roman Earth Mother goddess), the templeis largely in ruins - there is no courtyard to the temple, and the mainedifice used to stand on a podium of four steps in height. Today you canstill see some of the columns of the temple on the very same podium
Close to the temple of Mercury, facing the "Rose of the Winds" square
Built during the reign of Emperor Hadrian who took an active interest inTunisian provinces of the Roman Empire, the temple was an example ofwhat would be a trend in the Middle Ages - the construction of religiousbuildings as an act of philantropy (in the Middle Ages this would be mixed with a dose of atonement for past sins).
You can still see the remains of the vestibule, as well as a smallmosque nearby that has survived the decline of the settlement replacingDougga itself
Below the Temple of Saturn, to the north-east from the main centre of Dougga
Notable as being the only Christian building so far located in Dougga,the church was finished in the 5th century. You can see the foundations,lower parts of the walls, steps, column basements, etc.

In WP8, Microsoft got rid of the right side vertical gutter, thus allocating more space for the Live Tiles. However, there is still an unused black gutter at the top just - underneath the clock area and between the first row of Live Tiles. I was looking at the Lumia 920 and it just stands out more (at least to me) because of the larger screen size. So I looked at the Samsung Focus and realized that it was present even with WP7 devices. Does anyone know what this black bar of nothingness is for? Is it a placeholder for future functionality? Is it just for design? Future Notification pull down area? Is it currently being used in WP8?
I use Launcher7 on my Android phone (Samsung Captivate) to give me the WP7 screen. In that Android implementation, the top gutter is very narrow, nowhere near the gutter gap of Wp7/Wp8. I haven't accidentally launched a Live Tile ever when I try to get to the notification center, so there must be some other reason. I hope its a placeholder space and not an intentional cosmetic or design approach.
Last edited by wpoblation; 11-19-2012 at 04:48 PM. Reason: double-post
It matches the gutter at the bottom (not counting the little arrow) so you know you are at the top of the page. Could be smaller, I guess. Ask Joe Belfiore why they chose that exact amount of space and you'll probably get a subjective answer.

LAKELAND -- All Manatee County schoolteachers should heed an appeals court ruling this week that rejected a drama teacher's request to overturn his suspension because of improper Facebook postings, said John Bowen, the school board's attorney.
"This ruling makes it clear that the district's Code of Ethics covers teachers' conduct any time, no matter what; whether you're in class, at the mall, on the beach, on social media or on the telephone," Bowen said Friday. "I think this will bring attention to the fact that you shouldn't be out there having inappropriate interactions with students feeling that, 'I'm not at school so it doesn't matter.'"
Willis, who taught at Braden River High, was originally Willis, who taught at Braden River High, was originally suspended without pay in October 2010 after Schools Supt. Tim McGonegal recommended he be terminated. Willis' Facebook page had been found to include several references to vulgar phrases, some sexual content and an interaction about a reprimand he had received from district officials for showing an unauthorized movie. In addition, Willis had "friended" 120 students.
While an administrative law judge ruled in January 2011 that Willis' behavior was inappropriate, the judge also ruled he should not lose his job. The school board voted in May 2011 to maintain Willis' suspension and remove his tenure. It also voted to switch Willis from a professional services contract to an annual contract, which would require the recommendation of his principal and McGonegal to return to the classroom.
Willis' attorney, Melissa Mihok, argued both before the school board in a filing to the 2nd District Court of Appeals that the school board had no right to make that decision because the district did not have a policy that specifically addressed Facebook conduct.
McGonegal had insisted Willis violated the district's Code of Ethics by failing to have the development of his students' potential as his primary professional concern, among other items. The appeals court's ruling, released Feb. 1, upheld McGonegal's position and the school board's decision.
