Reviewed by Mónica Faggioni
I opted to read Escape from Camp 14 by Blaine Harden after Kim Jong II, the North Korean Dear Leader expired. The scenes in the news of afflicted masses of North Koreans crying at the loss of their Dear Leader shocked me at the time and provoked a curiosity for understanding this behavior. Reading Escape from Camp 14 helped me to understand that, by showing grief, the North Koreans escaped from a lifetime condemnation in Camp 14 or in any other of the camps whose existence is neglected.
In Escape from Camp 14, Blaine Harden tells the story of Shin Dong-hyuk, a man born in a prison, from parents breeding in a place where the promise of freedom was nonexistent. He was raised with an absolute lack of affection, of maternal love, as well as with a total absence of moral and ethical values. Malnourished and permanently hungry, the only values he could embrace were those that guaranteed survival, at the extreme end of which stands his denouncing his mother and brother's intention of escaping the camp. Shin Dong-hyuk became a snitch with the hope of getting a little bit more of the cabbage soup he ate day after day in the camp.
Blaine Harden tells Shin Dong-hyuk's story in a simple way, committed to his purpose of informing the reader about the hardship and deprivation of liberty that any inhabitant of North Korea and every member of his family is exposed to if the suspicion of unfaithfulness to the regime falls on him.

Westin Monache Mammoth, Contemporary Elegance Redefines Mountain Lodging
Aug 15th, 2011 | By Lulu del Rosario | Category: Hotels, Relax and RewindIt was a getaway I was looking forward to. At my core, I'm a mountain girl and beach bum at heart, the Gemini factor. When a mountain or a beach visit is in my future, my heart is eager and I count the days. It wasn't any different as we looked forward to a couple days in the lovely resort town of Mammoth Lakes, California. During this brief visit, we had the pleasure of visiting the Westin Monache Resort, located in the Village at Mammoth. Mammoth is one of he fastest growing mountain resort towns in North America. Indeed, the Westin Monache Resort kept it's promise to elevate our senses, restore our body and expand our mind. In fact, it did much more than that. The crisp mountain air, tall pine and sequoia trees and majestic lakes and waterfalls provided perfect backdrops to render our weary souls unwound and relaxed.
Mammoth Lakes is a little bit more than 4 hours drive from San Francisco, about a couple of hours past and through the Yosemite Valley. I hadn't been to Yosemite since I was 16 years old and I had forgotten how breathtaking the views were. We forged through the drive on our way to Mammoth and saved the visit to the valley for our return trip. That, in itself, was difficult. We had about 5 pits stops necessitated by the incredible opportunities to photograph the awesomeness of nature. Granite mountains, still holding on to patches of winter's white fluff.
The Westin has 230 guest suites and three luxury suits with a breathtaking view of the Eastern Sierras. The guest suite was impeccable and featured a nook which I adored. It was also something I hadn't seen in any other hotel. The nook had a view of the pool and was big enough for another person to sleep. It was where I succumbed to a nap upon our arrival.
Please click on image to enlarge
As was with the Westin Verasa, which we had previously visited, the guest rooms here also featured a kitchenette. The 2-bedroom suite which we had the opportunity to view had a full kitchen, stocked with all the cooking essentials. The amenities were true to Westin form: divine Heavenly Bed, flat screen, high definition LCD TV's and gas fireplaces. This particular facility features 2,000 square feet of meeting / function space.
We did spend a couple of hours relaxing by the pool. How could you not with such an inviting pool! Picture this surrounded by trees and a view of the still-some-snow covered mountains.
Next door is the Village at Mammoth where we walked to for lunch after we settled. It reminded me of the Village at Beaver Creek where I spent many wonderful and memory-filled summers with my family. Other nearby attractions include lots of fishing, hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, scenic gondola rides at nearby Mammoth Mountain, golf, and ~ of course, skiing and snowboarding in the winter time. Devil's Post Pile was also a fun scenic spot to visit. Mother Nature at her finest and most interesting! Yosemite Valley is about 2 hours away (separate post).
Please click on image to enlarge
The Westin Monache is the only full service hotel in Mammoth Mountain. The staff is personal, helpful and friendly. They called us by our first names from the get go till we checked out. It was summer time when we visited. I imagine this to be a vastly different and even more bustling place in the height of the winter months. There were quite a few tourists visiting from Europe, including a big family from Belgium. It's beautiful up here.
I may be a late bloomer and am only now discovering this beautiful town and resort ~ but I plan on coming back when it is dressed in white.
Please enjoy more photos from our Westin visit.

Slowly but surely, I'd like to get in the habit of cooking dinner at home. Let's be real, I'll be ordering my dinner off of a menu more often than not, but I don't see any harm in getting in touch with my domestic side (come out, come out wherever you are!)
First step? I've admitted my problem. The second step is to get help. And the third step is… to blog about it
Throughout my quest to become more familiar with our local food community, I've grown quite fond of the publication Edible Columbus. I was thrilled to find out that it offers its' own cooking series with chef and publisher, Tricia Wheeler. The classes are focused around the seasonal harvest and our local food community. Best of both worlds… prepare wonderful dishes that are also easy to cook at home and learn about the local ingredients that are used in the recipes.
The first class I attended was called Annual Heirloom Tomato Tasting with Northridge Organic Farm. Husband and wife owners of Northridge, Mike and Laura came to show off their 17 favorite heirloom tomatoes from this season. Isn't it crazy that there are actually 17 different varieties of tomatoes?! They showed us each individual kind of heirloom, told us what makes it special, and described the taste. While they spoke, we were served a tasting plate, which carried each of the heirlooms. This was a great touch because it allowed me to connect my taste buds to the description my ears were hearing. After we talked about everything and anything "tomato" we moved on to watch Tricia, who was busy preparing the Heirloom Tomato and Basil Salad with Balsamic Drizzle.
The class is set up perfectly for demonstration purposes. Everyone is seated around the dream kitchen. There is even a huge, flat-screen tv mounted to show the up close and personal tricks. Sure, I probably should take a class where it's required to roll up my sleeves and get down and dirty, but it's hard not to love the style at the Edible Columbus classes. It's like you're out to dinner, except you get to sit in the middle of the kitchen and watch how it's all created. And Janine, owner of Camelot Cellars is there to pour you a glass of wine to make it even better. My kind of class. I chose to sip on the Spanish Rioja (bright red and black berries with spice and oak).
As I'm enjoying one of the best Heirloom Tomato Salads I've ever had, Tricia goes the extra mile and serves Fried Green Tomatoes along with it. It was my first time tasting a Fried Green Tomato, and I have to tell you it was my favorite part of the meal! The process of making them seemed a little tricky but I'm up for the challenge… only because I can't deprive myself of them again! Is there a restaurant in Columbus that serves them??
If you're looking for a fun, yet informational cooking class that uses a local spin, view the schedule of the upcoming classes here! I took the All About Honey class where we dined on honey-inspired recipes such as honey roasted veggies, a crusted chicken breast dipped in honey, and a honey cake. I'll be posting about it very soon!
Feast your eyes on these recipes:
(And remember… show off those skills in the kitchen! Send me a photo of your masterpiece and I'll post it for the world to see)
Heirloom Tomato and Basil Bread Salad with Balsamic Drizzle
(Recipe by Tricia Wheeler)
Selection of favorite tomatoes
Fresh basil
House made croutons
Goat cheese
Balsamic vinegar and glaze
Croutons: Cut up stale bread into cubes, toss with olive oil, sea salt, dried herns, and a little cayenne pepper. Lay on a foil covered cookie sheet. Bake in a 200 degree over until soft in the middle and toasted on the edges.
Salad: Cut up tomatoes, pick over basil leaves, and toss with croutons. Right before serving, sprinkle on goat cheese and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Season with salt to taste.
Fried Green Tomatoes
Remoulade Sauce:
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup vegatable oil
1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/2 cup chopped green onion
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
3 tablespoons creole whole grain mustard and 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
3 tablespoons ketchup
3 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper and a dash of creole seasoning
Combine all ingredients in a food processor for 30 seconds.
Slice tomatoes about ¼ inch thick. Combine cornmeal, pancake mix, salt and pepper. Coat both sides of tomatoes with the mixture. In a large skillet, heat enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan and fry tomatoes until browned, then flip them and continue frying for another 3–4 minutes on medium-high heat.

Green on blue, unboxing, and brass: on the radar in September 2012
The phrase green on blue has been used with tragic frequency in recent weeks to describe attacks by Afghan soldiers on Coalition troops in Afghanistan. Green on blue is modeled after an earlier phrase, blue on blue, referring to inadvertent clashes between members of the same side in an armed conflict (also known as fratricide, or by the oxymoronic synonym friendly fire).

A little taste of wine and country comfort is what customers experience at Calistoga Bar & Grill. Named after a city and wine region in Napa Valley, Calistoga found a new niche in the restaurant business, and owners James Andrews and Kathleen Kennedy decided to embark on a "wine country concept."
The idea is to have classic comfort food, such as mac 'n cheese, Andrews said, but with a different twist--combining white cheeses, including cream cheese, with white truffle oil and herbed breadcrumbs.
It's a classically fun concept, and the experience begins as you walk in the door. A wine barrel sets the tone for the wine country feel. Andrews, who is friends with the owners of Calistoga Cellars in California, presented him with this barrel, which he said "adds a little authenticity" to the restaurant.
The concept continues when reviewing the wine menu as many Calistoga Cellars wines are available. My friend and I each selected a glass of the medium-bodied 2007 Chardonnay ($8, $40 for a bottle), which is described as "beautifully balanced, with just the right mix of ripe pear and melon, accented with mild hints of oak...with a long and creamy finish, which fills the mouth with vanilla." We thoroughly enjoyed this crisp, brilliantly golden wine.
From there, we went on to select our dinner. Andrews explained the first list of items, which was properly titled "Small Plates."
The items on this list might be featured in a tapas bar or can be viewed as appetizers. One favorite he said is the Wild Mushroom Bruschetta with Brie, Parmesan & Fresh Herbs ($8).
Another is the Fried Calamari ($7) with Roasted Garlic Aioli and Red Pepper Tomato Sauce. Lamb and Beef Meatballs ($7), Fried Chorizo Stuffed Olives ($5), Catfish Tacos ($8) and Goat Cheese Quesadillas ($8) are some of the other Small Plates.
Andrews said one of the best things about Calistoga is that they are not confined by a theme.
"Kathleen and I looked at many options and picked out what we liked for the menu selections," he said.
Andrews also said some of the popular meals are the Stuffed Burgers, where you can design your own "stuffed" burger with a choice of carmelized onions, bacon, mushrooms or jalapeno peppers and any number of cheeses, such as Cheddar, Swiss, Gouda or Bleu.
The menu ranges from simple, yet gourmet-like items as Grilled Cheese Goodness (a new take on the old grilled cheese sandwich that has tomato, red onion, lettuce, mayo and Dijon, Brie, sharp cheddar or Gouda cheese) to a 16-ounce Grilled Ribeye.
We ordered the Fried Risotto Balls ($7), which are Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Fresh Mozzarella, Roasted Tomato Sauce and Fresh Basil. Andrews said, "These are like an upscale Mozzarella stick. Even though we don't have a children's menu, the kids really like these." Adults aren't too far behind as my friend and I were thrilled about these as well.
This Small Plate included four lusciously creamy and cheesy balls. They were coated with dry bread crumbs that gave the outside a crispy texture, while the inside was rich and practically sinful.
For our main meals, I ordered the Roasted Green Chili and Beef Enchiladas ($9), and my friend sampled the "Down Home" Meatloaf ($12). While Andrews said he's responsible for the main menu development, when it comes to designing the Mexican items, he gives way to chef Fernando Flores and his touch.
The Enchiladas were no ordinary enchilada. They were filled with tender, slow-braised beef and roasted chilies. They were topped with queso fresco and cilantro sour cream. Black Bean and Corn Salsa was served as a very small side. The enchiladas were excellent. The plate of four was very filling--each enchilada was very large and fully loaded with ingredients. The beef was perfectly tender and flavorful.
The Meatloaf was not like mama used to make. This "down-home" version is upscale, described as "loaded with veggies" and topped with tomato demi-glace and onion hay. Andrews said this meatloaf is hand-ground beef chuck and tenderloin.
A serving of this dish came with a very thick slice of meatloaf commanding the plate, topped with a large scoop of creamy mashed potatoes with demi-glace and crispy-fried onions on top. Carrots were the only obvious veggie in the loaf; it was moist and tender and not too dense. A zesty spark of flavor in this dish was the demi-glace, and Andrews gave me an insight into how this is prepared.
He said this thick and silky glace begins with tomato base and stock; the zest comes from a combination of vinegar and brown sugar. This topping was ideal to jazz up the overall taste of the meat loaf. Sautéed spinach was a perfect side to this upscale comfort meal.
We finished this meal sharing Cinnamon and Dried Cranberry Bread Pudding with Bourbon Sauce ($5). This was a dense square of warm bread pudding, ample cranberries and sweet whisky sauce. It was a nice closing to this wine country meal.
Calistoga's large dining room is broken into various seating areas, so there is an intimacy about the place otherwise lost in the spacious restaurant. Candles on tables add an overall simple elegance to the atmosphere. Andrews said there are two private dining rooms: the River Room seats 50 people; the Club Room, 20.
Sunday Brunch at Calistoga's is from 11am-3pm and includes all items on the regular menu, plus more than 16 additional breakfast items, such as French toast, pancakes, huevos rancheros and homemade braised beef hash. Calistoga also has monthly wine classes, led by Andrews, who is a certified sommelier, and wine-pared dinners.

Last Updated: August 1, 2008
The globalization of the world economy has led employees of all ages to consider working abroad. But as much as overseas employment is a major personal and professional decision, it's also a huge financial consideration.
First of all, just because you're skipping off to work full-time in another country, don't think you've cut ties with Uncle Sam. As long as you are an American citizen or a resident alien, you will be responsible for filing a return with the Internal Revenue Service every year, and the paperwork can be complex.
That's why if you are considering an overseas opportunity, it's a very good idea to meet with a tax professional who has experience working with Americans working abroad to handle their foreign, federal and state tax matters. It's also a good idea to work with a financial planning professional with similar experience to keep up with your spending, saving and retirement planning issues while you're focusing on your career in foreign lands.
Here is some general information to consider if you're considering an overseas move:
You may qualify for a tax break: The Internal Revenue Service has rules that prevent U.S. citizens from paying taxes in the United States and the foreign country where the citizen works. The foreign earned income exclusion addresses the most common risk of double taxation on wages and self-employment income earned abroad.
To qualify for the exclusion, there are three tests: you must be able to prove you work in a foreign country, you must be able to prove that foreign income, and you must pass either the "bona fide" or the "physical presence" residency tests in that foreign country. The "bona fide" test is passed if you live in the country for at least one uninterrupted tax year (between January 1-December 31). The physical presence test is usually the one people pick – it's passed if the taxpayer was present in that foreign country for any 330 days which don't have to be consecutive or part of a particular tax year. For tax year 2008, the amount of the exclusion will be $87,600.
If you work in a country that charges no income tax, the exclusion becomes particularly valuable because once the first $87,600 is removed the first dollar of taxable income is taxed in the lowest income bracket. That means there's a chance you might pay less tax if you had stayed home and earned all that money in the United States.
You may also qualify for separate housing cost tax credits and deductions that will bring down that overall income deduction.
Meanwhile, the foreign tax credit covers the amount of foreign tax paid on income subject to U.S. taxes after accounting for all your exclusions and deductions.
Why sometimes it's better to work for someone else: Some countries have special laws that govern taxation for self-employed individuals that may result in U.S. expatriates paying special taxes for the self-employed – there may be reciprocal agreements between countries governing such agreements. Self-employed people in particular should seek out help on how best to manage taxes and overall spending issues abroad.
Meanwhile, many multinationals create "tax equalization" packages for employees working abroad that charges employees the tax amounts they would have paid in the states while picking up the entire tax bill in the U.S. and the overseas location. It's important to make sure, however, that employers are figuring in all the potential taxes you'd pay for benefits like an overseas housing and school allowance, relocation fees and other perks related to expatriate work.
Even if you're working for one of the most employee-friendly companies on the planet, it's important that you bring your own tax advisor into the process to make sure all your bases are covered.
Get advice on record-keeping: If you've been lackluster at keeping track of your financial activities while working in the States, it's time to change your ways. Get advice from your tax and financial planning experts on the best ways to sort and keep financial records either physically or on computer. And since you might be tempted to ask more questions about the care and feeding of your finances while you're abroad, ask your professionals what it will cost to have these discussions and whether there's anyone you can talk to where you're going.

Along with Judaism and Christianity, other faiths offer their adherents unique ways to make sense of the world. From ancient Zoroastrianism to the richness of Islam to the increasing popularity of Buddhism, witness the amazing diversity of religion with these courses.
The religious impulse is so powerfully pervasive that neuroscience has posed a provocative question: Are our brains wired to worship? In The Spiritual Brain: Science and Religious Experience, award-winning scholar and practicing neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Newberg, Director of Research at the Myrna Brind Center of Integrative Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, offers you 24 riveting lectures that explore the new and exciting field of neurotheology, a discipline aimed at understanding the connections between our brains and different kinds of religious phenomena. Using an academic, experimental approach into what he calls "objective measures of spirituality," Dr. Newberg attempts to explain what others have previously only guessed at: the neuroscientific basis for why religion and spirituality have played such a prominent role in human life.
Whether one acts as an individual, a local community member, or part of a broader fellowship of believers, the approach to religion remains the same: viewing religion and religious life from the inside. What changes, however, when the approach to religion comes from the outside? How do scholars study the ways the religious experience is felt, shared, and communicated? How do they explain how this extraordinarily powerful force can define and shape the communities it creates? In Introduction to the Study of Religion, Professor Charles B. Jones offers a vibrant look at the discipline known as religious studies.

I'm listening to O&A now. The new content is refreshing!
I'm listening to O&A now. The new content is refreshing!
I also listen to Ron and Fez..and now that Art Bell is on.....he is first on my list of stuff to listen to when I'm walking the dog.
I have nothing clever to say...
Welcome aboard.....I'm sure your stay will be a pleasant and funny one...
Listen up assholes...The above is my opinion and doesn't mean shit
I'm listening to bill Handel on kfi 640 am thru iheartradio.
I'm never awake this early, so I turned on the TV and saw Imus on Fox Biz. It's way better than the faggy fag faggot show on H101...shit, at least Imus doesn't have long Alzheimer pauses, going "what can I tell you"...and his "sidekicks" are actually radio personalities with a smooth delivery- not some bloated cackling idiot interrupting him and then laughing at their own non-sequitur "joke".
all those shows mentioned suck
Hank to Beetle "who wrote the Gettysburg address"
Beetle "I don't wear dresses"
I've tried them all and those shows do indeed suck.
And "better than Stern now," is one weak endorsement, I'll shit on a mic and that RSS feed'll feature more laughs than the Wig, let me hear of something better than the mid 90s with Billy or your own personal favorite era. Anyway, closest I've found are:
- In Your Face with Drew Garabo, 102.5 the bone in Florida, podcast online (6 days a week bitches, right now is his 4th vacation day all year)
- The Breakfast Club, power 105 in NY, but its a blaek show and we know how we feel about those people stealing our n word
- The Steve Austin Show, podcastone.com

have fun NOT being up to date on progressive diets, AGT, Beth, calendars for canine country clubs, how to fake cancer to avoid losing weight, Whitney Cummings, David Arquette, and Tan Mom.
I'm sure Dopie and Agony will cover all these topics. Oh yeah, they won't. They just curse and say awful awful things. That's what you like, isn't it?
BTW, I listened to their interview with Paul Williams yesterday...when I heard they were interviewing him, I was like.....really? But the interview was good and interesting. I'm fairly certain that wiggy wouldn't have him on even with his shitty guests now, because the guy is 3 feet tall, how big can his cock be?
I think most of the people who slam O&A are still holding onto a piece of their Howard sheep mentality which won't allow them to like any other show because "they're all ripoffs" of mighty King Wiggy. And I guarantee they probably haven't listened to more than 5 minutes of them either, if at all.

Boulder is one of the liveliest college towns in the country, filled with a young population that seems to divide its time between phenomenally healthy daytime pursuits and almost equally unhealthy night-time activities.
With an easygoing, forward-looking atmosphere and plenty of great places to eat and drink, Boulder makes an excellent place to return to each night after a day in the mountains. Downtown centers on the leafy pedestrian mall of Pearl Street, lined with all sorts of lively cafés, galleries, and stores – including several places where you can rent mountain bikes. The most obvious short excursion is to drive or hike up nearby Flagstaff Mountain for views over town and further into the Rockies. For rock climbing, Eldorado Canyon State Park offers many opportunities; the excellent Neptune Mountaineering, in the Table Mesa shopping center at 633 S Broadway (Tel:303/499-8866, Web: www.neptunemountaineering.com ), can answer questions and provide gear.

The Denver Post once described Boulder as "the little town nestled between the mountains and reality." Shadowed by the towering Flatirons and surrounded by more than 31,000 acres of recreational open space and nature preserves, Boulder is 28 square miles of outdoor heaven. Named after the mammoth rocks scattered across the terrain, Boulder brims with big city sophistication, college town intelligence, and environmental sensibilities.
Boulder's historic civic center serves as a gathering place for the entire city. Anchored by Pearl Street, a vibrant thoroughfare boasting a magnificent four-block pedestrian mall, the Pearl Street Mall , the downtown area brims with tourists, but is also a lively haven for the eclectic locals. The tree-lined promenade, long ago a refuge for the wildest of the wild westerners, is alive with cafes, galleries, brewpubs, restaurants and every type of shopping imaginable.
If high culture is on the agenda, then browse around at one of the galleries brightening downtown, including the popular Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art . You can also check out the Dairy Centre for the Arts for productions by local theater and dance troupes, or a graceful performance from the Boulder Ballet .
The Boulder County Farmers Market adds a bit of flavor from April to October and offers everything from organic veggies and local wines to famous homegrown cantaloupe. Boulder Creek Path , crowded with bikers, in-line enthusiasts, walkers and wanderers, also meanders though downtown. Along the way, the trail passes the Underwater Fish Observatory , Central Park , City Hall, and the Heartling Sculpture Park before winding into Boulder Canyon towards the mountain town of Nederland.
The big box retail chains, strip malls, fast food fry pits (even Boulder has them), occupy a long stretch of 28th Street, just a bit south of the city center. The area is great for last minute stops before heading to the mountains. This strip is also the place in town to find a movie theater.
University Hill
Known as "The Hill" by locals, the neighborhood is the home of the University of Colorado . Literally parked on a hilltop above downtown, the district provides the typical college town quirkiness and a host of popular attractions including the Heritage Center and the Sommers Bausch Observatory .
Spread across more than 600 acres of rolling landscape, University of Colorado is a feat of architectural beauty with old stone buildings topped with red Spanish tiled rooftops. Just moseying about the campus creates a sense of wonder, especially while moving through tree-lined passageways, or gazing into the serene depths of Varsity Pond. Catch a CU football game at Folsom Field . For an abstract pulse of the student body visit the CU Art Galleries (currently closed until Fall 2009) which displays contemporary work by revered artists as well as students. Try to see Foucault's Pendulum make a move or stargaze at the Fiske Planetarium .
The Hill
After checking out the University of Colorado , head over to The Hill's entertainment district. The area's bars and restaurants fill with students searching for pizza and cold beer. Neo-hippies wander the streets and the coffee shop crowd finds hot beverage solace in one of the many quaint cafes. The area can get a little rowdy, especially after Buff games and long nights of drinking.
The residential neighborhood bordering The Hill is an odd mix of fraternity and sorority houses, apartment complexes, rental houses and attractive single-family homes. The streets are usually bustling with activity well into the night.
Chautauqua Park rests at the base of Flagstaff Mountain on the southwest side of University Hill. The park, one of three remaining from the early 1900s cultural movement, features a dining hall and an outdoor auditorium that hosts an excellent summer concert series.
Table Mesa
Boulder contains a wealth of pocket residential communities peppered with parks and open space. Martin Park, on the south side of town, is a step into 1950s tract housing. Table Mesa, nestled in the western foothills, is home to the National Center for Atmospheric Research and miles of easy nature trails.
Most of Boulder's big business sectors reside on the fringes of the city. Gunbarrel, on the eastern edge of town, is home to IBM and Celestial Seasonings . Boulder's small southern neighbor, Louisville, is home to Storage Tek. Broomfield, nine miles south of Boulder, recently opened the posh Interlocken Business Park and Resort and is attracting national attention as a hot relocation spot.
Eldorado Springs
If you are searching for an otherworldly experience all together, take a day and visit one of the area's mountain towns. Eldorado Springs, where the world comes to rock climb, was once a hangout for the well-to-do including Damon Runyon and President Eisenhower. Now, it is a quaint commuter community of about 900 residents. Nederland, home to Eldora Mountain Resort , is a tourist-oriented former gold claim that still possesses a bit of the anti-establishment mountain attitude.
You might think dining in Boulder requires a taste for granola, yogurt, tofu or nutrition smoothies. While Boulder residents might be extremely active (they average two bikes per person—road and mountain) and the healthiest population in the land, they still love to eat. Training for marathons can make a person hungry. A talented crop of chefs, drawn to the city's hip lifestyle, create cosmopolitan menus rivaling the big towns. The offerings range from fine dining to brewpub fare.
As you walk along Pearl Street, aromas drifting from the restaurants penetrate the senses, making it hard to choose where to dine. From sophisticated cuisine to inexpensive pub grub and microbrews, get ready for a quality dining experience. For the health minded looking for stereotypical Boulder fare (i.e. natural foods), stop in at the Creative Vegetarian Cafe for some of the best fiber fodder this side of California. The Mountain Sun Pub & Brewery is a brewery with a Boulder twist, specializing in full-bodied ales and mostly meatless bar fare.
Upscale bistros and stylish cafes pepper the downtown vicinity. A good majority of the restaurants feature seasonal menus emphasizing contemporary American creations. The imaginative dishes usually involve salmon, trout, lamb, or chicken. Most local chefs feature homegrown organic ingredients including seasonings, spices and vegetables.
Try Q's Restaurant in the Hotel Boulderado for a taste of regional fare and Boulder's most happening ambiance. Chef John Platt is a master of artistic presentation, and the roasted rack of lamb is well worth the expense. Jax Fish House proves you can be landlocked in a mountain town and still find incredible clam chowder and other ocean delights. Plus, the martinis are the best around.
The sunny riviera comes alive at Mediterranean (a.k.a The Med). Incorporating a wood-burning oven, this cozy hideaway just off the Pearl Street Mall serves traditional favorites from Spain, France and Italy. The wood burning oven also flickers at Antica Roma Ristorante & Bar and the 14th Street Bar and Grill, baking innovative Neapolitan pizzas, along with other Italian standards.
For deep-dish, Chicago style pizza and an intoxicating drink menu, stop in Old Chicago and take the world beer tour. The patio is one of the rowdiest in town, especially during the summer. BJ's Pizza, Grill and Brewery brings the chain element to Pearl Street, but still handcrafts some fine local ale while serving an array of pizzas and sandwiches. Hometown brewpubs include the Walnut Brewery which concocts a masterful blends of barley and hops and goes way beyond the traditional bar fare.
Downtown's ethnic offerings span the mountain depths of the Himalayas, chart the cold coastal waters of Japan, and delve into the exotic mysteries of India all in less than a 10 block area. Trek over to the Himalayas Restaurant for authentic Tibetan and Nepalese cuisine featuring some amazingly spicy curries. Mij Bani mixes the healthy (and spicy) eats of old world India with the spiritual flavorings of Nepal.
Sushi lovers line up outside Sushi Zanmai for wild nights of karaoke and the freshest rice wrapped in seafood money can buy. Japango's sushi bar is the tops, but the funky eatery also caters to those who prefer Japanese fare a bit Americanized. The Boulder Dushanbe Tea House , a gift from Boulder's sister city Dushanbe, Tajikistan, adorns the eastern fringe of Central Park and is a cultural experience in itself. The international menu includes creations from such places as Tajik and Algeria.
Juanita's , a festive Mexican joint a block from the Pearl Street Mall , draws the local crowd for platters piled high with all the standards: burritos, tacos and enchiladas. The Rio Grande's potent margaritas (there is a 3-drink limit) are powerful enough to knock anyone silly, and make the Mexican fare taste even better. If you want to skip on the fancy cuisines and simply bite into a no frills burger, head over to Tom's Tavern . It is the best place in town to hear how things used to be in Boulder. The folks that run the place make everyone feel like a local and prepare home-style classics, along with the biggest burgers in town.
No trip to Boulder should be complete without stopping in a downtown coffee shop and debating a little Buddhist philosophy over java and eclairs. If you are up for bantering with locals, check out the Trident Cafe or Sidney's Cappuccino and Art Bar. For the less adventurous, there is always Starbucks.
University Hill
No matter how many businesses move to town or how high the median income might be, Boulder is still undeniably part college town. The depth of cheap eats, pizza joints and coffee shops on The Hill reflect this reality. For a quirky example of the feel of this campus area look no further than the Sink . Low ceilings and graffiti coated walls give the place the urban charm of a hip subway tunnel, and with every tasty pizza comes a bit of local attitude. The joint is always rocking with distressed poets, suburban hippies and hungry students. Frat boys and business cohorts hit the drink specials at Teresa's Pizza Colore. A local chain, Abo's is the perfect stop for pizza by the slice.
Illegal Pete's caters to the big burrito crowd, packing all sorts of veggies, rice, beans and meats into a tortilla the size of a large pizza. Hapa On The Hill is where to go for cheap sushi. Moe's Broadway Bagel is probably the closest thing to healthy the neighborhood has to offer.
On the other side of The Hill, travel into the past for a feast at the Chautauqua Dining Hall . Now open year round, the seasonal menu features Colorado lamb and rainbow trout.
28th Street Vicinity
Muddled in the mass of chain eateries and fast food fry pits, and lost in the labyrinth of strip malls congesting the area, are some of Boulder's best dining surprises. Dolan's , a longstanding Boulder tradition, dabs heavily into the regional cuisine and is the place to go for steak and seafood. If you are entertaining clients, try the Boulder Broker for a juicy porterhouse or filet. John's Restaurant is best for romance and magical New American cuisine. Zolo Grill , a Zagat favorite, specializes in fiery southwestern fare and a lively atmosphere.
For vegetarian fare, sports and microbrews kick back at the Lazy Dog Sports Bar and Grill . Do not worry, the joint also cooks up the traditional burger and fries. Casa Alvarez conjures a taste of old Mexico straight from the family recipe book. Turley's is a great neighborhood stop for healthy grub, and Dot's Diner is an inexpensive start to the day.
Foothills and Mountains
There is nothing quite like dining alongside a mountain, watching the sun creep away, witnessing the city lights settle into an easy glimmer, and mustering up a bit of romance. The Flagstaff House is perhaps Boulder's most elegant (and pricey) dining experience. Perched atop Flagstaff Mountain, it is the place for rattlesnake and alligator appetizers and the best Buffalo filet in the world- and at the price, it should be. The Red Lion Inn also exudes a bit of romance, but is also a great place for business meetings, and the German cuisine emphasizes wild game.
Nederland has quite a few interesting dining spots loaded with all sorts of mountain characters, but Neapolitan's pizza joint is the most popular layover for tourists, especially after a long day of skiing at Eldora Mountain .
Boulder is a small town, a mere 28 square miles. With such a small amount to cover, the best way to experience the sights of Boulder is on foot or by bike, but there are also attractions in the area surrounding Boulder that are worth a visit.
Boulder Creek Path The Boulder Creek Path is a great way to get acquainted with the area's natural surroundings. Pick up the trail on the east end of town, at Scott Carpenter Park . The Roach Galleries are nearby. You can opt to linger about the park for a while or even stray a bit off the trail to dine at Murphy's Grill or Old Chicago .
Underwater Fish Observatory Stop by the Underwater Fish Observatory , where you can stare through glass panels at trout and other aquatic wonders below the water surface. Have lunch at the Healthy Habits Restaurant . Nearby is the University of Colorado historic district. Here you will see buildings dating back to 1876, the year Colorado became a state and Boulder received the university. The Heritage Center and the Macky Auditorium Concert Hall are two notable buildings on campus.
Central Park Also on the Boulder Creek Path is Central Park . The lively green is always crawling with locals and students, especially on summer days when the Boulder County Farmers' Market is in full swing. Have lunch at the Walnut Cafe . This spot is also a great stopping point for those who want to head over to the Pearl Street Mall . If you're with young ones, stop into the Scott Carpenter Park , which was built for children.
Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art Art lovers can head over to 13th Street to the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art . The Mary Williams Fine Arts is also located downtown. Music lovers can take in a show at the Boulder Theater . Food connoisseurs have an overwhelming choice of fine regional dining, brewpubs and local joints, like Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant .
Flatirons Flagstaff Mountain is located in the Foothills region of Boulder. Once you've spent the day hiking and taking pictures, dine at the Flagstaff House . Also stop by the Boulder Falls . Chautauqua Park is at the bottom of the Flatirons landmark. After you've explored the Park, the nearby Greenbriar Inn is a good place to stop in for dinner.
Figuring out how to organize a trip to Boulder is easy with the help of a professional tour company.

The spec for the N8 says that the SD card works upto a 32GB size.
Is the unit limited to reading this size? or will it accept a larger GB size?
If so is there a limit on this size?
Solved! Go to Solution.
2010-10-21 21:31
the limit is 32GB
2010-10-21 21:34
2010-10-21 21:36
not just a 64 gb card but witht eh 16 gig internal
thats almost as much as my hardrive...
2010-10-21 21:38
Thanks for the replies...
I have just over 60Gb in music.. let alone office files which I would seek to commute with me... So using a larger internal SD card would save on using the USB pen facility (although this is very helpful..)
I will look inot it a bit more... and see how viable it is... and if I can get a compatable SD card..
2010-10-22 3:20
2010-12-30 9:27
Has anyone been able to successfully use a 64GB card with the N8?
2011-12-08 1:22
2012-02-17 10:50
I can confirm that the new Sandisk microSDXC 64GB perfectly works in N8.
The only thing to do is format the card in N8 BEFORE trying anything. If you don't, chances are that it will only show 27.5 GB free...
You can get this card for less than 80Eur these days...
2012-02-17 10:58
Also, if you want top performances and reactivity, go for the 32GB class10 instead (SDXC64GB are class6)...
These 32GB cards are cheap (+/- 30Eur) and really snappy.
2012-02-17 20:03
It does not apply to the N8 but I get just as good performance on my 64gb Class 6 card on my 701 as I did with the Class 10 32gb card in my 5800. I guess the better processor in the 701.
The 32gb Class 6 card did not work too well for me in the 5800. For example it would not load the full list of songs (thousands) for example for a long time. It was the opposite of 'snappy'
This issue was resolved immediately I changed to a 32gb Class 10 card.
I know the N8 has a slightly faster CPU than the 5800. Regardless, you are always best to pay an extra few dollars and get the higher Class speed card you can IMHO.

So, how's this for a bait-and-switch?
The National Wild Turkey Federation recently called to ask if I'd be interested in learning more about Wild Turkey.
Heck yeah, I said, suddenly craving a cocktail. But they meant actual wild turkeys.
Oh, alright.
The domestic, farm-raised turkeys most Americans eat on Thanksgiving Day, they say, are nothing like the wild turkey feasted on by the Pilgrims and Native Americans. So here are a few facts about the tasty game bird enjoyed during that first feast:
- Wild turkeys, now almost 7 million strong, were almost extinct in the early 1900s.
- Wild turkeys can run up to 25 mph. Just how fast is that? Usain Bolt, the world's fastest-known human, only averaged 23.35 mph during his world-record 100-meter run.
- Wild turkeys rarely weigh more than 24 pounds while domestic turkeys regularly grow to more than 40 pounds.
- Wild turkeys, which have as many as 6,000 feathers, can fly as fast as 55 mph. Most domestic turkeys are too heavy to fly.
- Wild turkeys have much sharper vision than humans and can view their entire surroundings simply by turning their head.
- Wild turkeys can make at least 28 different vocalizations, with gobbles heard up to one mile away.
- Wild turkeys roost (sleep) in trees, often as high as 50 feet off the ground.
- Wild turkeys were argued by Benjamin Franklin to be a more appropriate choice than bald eagles as our national bird.

text: Inducted 2011 In 1912, Stanley Macomber became city engineer for Centralia, Washington, where he published papers on his civil engineering projects. He moved to Canton, Ohio, in 1915 for a position in metal lumber sales with Berger Manufacturing Company. In November 1919, Mr. Macomber called an organizational meeting of leading structural steel fabricators, forming the American Institute of Steel Construction and serving on the first board of directors. In June 1928, he was a charter member of the Steel Joist Institute. Invention Impact When Mr. Macomber took a position with National Pressed Steel Company of Massillon, Ohio, in 1919, he perfected his idea for an open web joist floor system to serve as a freeway for pipes, conduits, and ductwork. In 1923, Mr. Macomber filed his first patent for the open web joist and formed the Massillon Steel Joist Company. The company relocated to Canton in 1925, and the name was changed to Macomber Steel Company. Inventor Bio Stanley Macomber was born in Ida Grove, Iowa, receiving his early education locally and at Annapolis Naval Preparatory Academy. He received a B.S. in civil engineering from Iowa State College in 1908. His honors and awards include the American Society of Civil Engineers, Fellow, 1959. |

Year Round Programming
NaFF filmmakers often choose to allow their films to be shown by NaFF, beyond the Festival. We are proud to carry these compelling films to the bedsides of patients, to other cities in Tennessee, and to schools. Check out our year-round programming.
NaFF screens nearly 3,000 films searching for gems. After the Festival, those films are reviewed with a new lens. Is the film uplifting? Does it reveal a larger world? Does it give the viewer a greater sense of hope or courage or connection? These positive emotions have been shown by science to help with the healing process. NaFF makes these films available to adult patients in long-term care. Volunteers carry them to the bedside and watch along with the veteran, where sometimes they are the only visitor for months. Hospitals may choose to make the NaFF library available to their patients and staff.
A grant from the Tennessee Commission of Film Entertainment and Music enabled NaFF to help Chattanooga create its first film festival called "Gig City Film Festival" in early 2013. The concept is to help cities create and host their own. NaFF supports with consulting, procuring films, marketing, and on-site management.
For nine years, NaFF has conducted a program with teens who face special challenges associated with proverty. A team of film professionals, guided by producer Carolyn McDonald, help the teens create their own film and star in a documentary about the process. The teens write, block, act, and edit their work. Finally, they walk the red carpet, give media interviews, screen their film and answer questions following their screening. It is one of NaFF's most successful programs.
Certain documentaries have bracing truths to tell. Lipbscomb and other universities provide monthly screenings of NaFF films for their students.
Community Cinema is a groundbreaking public education and civic engagement initiative featuring free monthly screenings of films from the Emmy Award-winning PBS series Independent Lens. On location in more than 90 cities, it brings civic organizations together with community members and to learn, discuss, and get involved in key social issues. In Nashville, Community Cinema is sponsored by NaFF, WNPT and the Nashville Public Library.

Abstract: The fluorescence studies of coagulating protein extracted from Moringa oleifera seeds have been studied using steady-state intrinsic fluorescence. The fluorescence spectra are dominated by tryptophan emission and the emission peak maximum ( max = 343±2 nm) indicated that the tryptophan residue is not located in the hydrophobic core of the protein. Changes in solution pH affected the protein conformation as indicated by changes in the tryptophan fluorescence above pH 9 whereas the ionic strength had minimal effect. The exposure and environments of the tryptophan residue were determined using collisional quenchers. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/323 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: A series of well characterised cis-polyisoprene polymers have been added to dispersions of PHS coated PMMA particles in dodecane. At a molecular weight of 8000 g mol−1 and above, these systems showed phase separation at low particle volume fractions and above a critical polymer concentration. The rate of separation has been shown to be influenced by the viscosity of the polymer. At high polymer and particle volume fractions long lived metastable phases occurred. Above a critical concentration these were viscoelastic indicating an appreciable change in diffusion dynamics with two relaxation processes present. A significant Bingham yield stress was also observed. The Asakura Oosawa potential was not able to describe the observed rheological properties. At a molecular weight of 1000 g mol−1 no phase separation was observed. At high particle concentrations the yield stress was found to reduce with the addition of polymer. This was due to the polymer acting as a 'solvent' and penetrating the stabilising layer on the particles. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/329 Files in this item: 1

Obuseng, V.; Nareetsile, F.; Kwaambwa, H.M. (Elsevier Science Ltd, www.elsevier.com/locate/aca, NaN, 2012)[more][less]
Abstract: Uptake for lead, copper, cadmium, nickel and manganese from aqueous solution using the Moringa oleifera seeds biomass (MOSB) and amine-based ligand (ABL) was investigated. Experiments on two synthetic multi-solute systems revealed that MOSB performed well in the biosorption and followed the decreasing orders Pb(II)>Cu(II)>Cd(II)>Ni(II)>Mn(II) and Zn(II)>Cu(II)>Ni(II). The general trend of the heavy metal ions uptake by the amine-based ligand followed decreased in the order Mn>Cd >Cu> Ni>Pb, which is the reverse trend for what was observed for MOSB. Comparing the single- and multi-metal solutions, there was no clear effect in the biosorption capacity of MOSB suggesting the presence of sufficient active binding sites for all metal ions studied. The MOSB performance is also not affected by pH in the range 3.5–8. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/1039 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: A series of well characterised cis-poly(isoprene) (PIP) polymers (Mw = 1180, 8000, 28 300, 31 500, 86 000, 115 000 and 130 000) have been added to dispersions of poly(12-hydroxystearic acid) (PHS) coated poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) particles in dodecane. The ratio of particle size to adsorbed layer was also varied. For a given added polymer molecular weight, the polymer concentration in the continuous phase covered the dilute, semi-dilute and concentrated regimes as defined by the critical concentrations c and c . The viscosity behaviour of latex dispersions with added polymer were similar for all latex/polymer combinations except when polymer Mw = 1180 was added. In the latter case, the effect of adding polymer reduced both the viscosity and shear thinning behaviour. This supports the contention that the lower molecular weight polymer acts more like a diluent than a depletent. The behaviour of the viscosity ratio (the viscosity of the dispersion relative to that of the medium) as a function of polymer concentration increased with an increase in the polymer concentration until some critical concentration (cmax) for all polymers except for a polymer molecular weight 1180 Daltons. The addition of the polymer Mw = 8000 gave the highest viscosity ratio values in the polymer concentration range studied. It was found that the viscosity of all latex/polymer combinations decreased with an increase in temperature. The results suggest that the viscosity behaviour cannot be explained on the basis of a simple steric–elastic model and require a modified theoretical treatment.

Abstract: Aseries of six well characterised homopolymers of cis-polyisoprene (PIP) ranging from 1180 to 115,000 molecular weight were utilised to explore viscosity and the scaling relationship between viscosity and concentration in dodecane (good solvent). For each polymer molecular weight, the relative viscosity of PIP in dodecane at 298K was measured at several polymer concentrations using capillary viscometry. The linear extrapolation of experimental data based on Huggins, Kramer, Martin and Schulz-Blaschke equations was used to find the intrinsic viscosity at infinite dilution for each polymer molecular weight. The single-point method of evaluation of the intrinsic viscosity was also used for comparison. The Mark-Houwink fit of the data gave power index of 0.72 indicating that dodecane is good solvent for PIP and the latter exists in solution as open flexible coil. Both the radius of gyration and critical chain overlap concentration, c*, were derived from measured intrinsic viscosities. Plot of the relative viscosities versus the scaled concentration c/c*, resulted in single curve with slope value 4.44×10−2 and correlation coefficient r2 = 0.996, indicating good linear fit.

Situated around a mile to the east of the town of Durness, the cave can be explored by boat or by the path from the car park on the cliffs. The cave boasts one of the largest entrances to any sea cave in Britain at 50 ft high and is floodlit inside. It was formed by a burn that runs down into the rear chamber, as well as erosion caused by the sea.

Got the NanoPad. It works great. Like, really great. Like, so great, I am unsure how to "unstick" it after applying without fear of damaging the pad or the surface it is stuck to. Any tips on safely detaching it from a surface?
Creator Martin Cohn on December 2
Don't want your sticky pad, tired of the excuses. Comments stand. Not a penny more. I'm done.
Creator Casey Hopkins + ElevationLab on November 27
Martin - Our NanoPads work better than a low-friction Lightning connector, better than even our original custom 30pin connectors. When engineering for the the best performance, the force down (gravity) should be at least 2x the force up (connector friction). Thats about what it is with our 30pin. With NanoPad and Lightning, the force difference can be 5-20x greater depending on how smooth the surface is - so your dock will not budge. We have prototype low-friction Lightning connectors if you really want one - they don't work as well as the one Apple engineered like we said in the update.
Creator Martin Cohn on November 27
Its sad how this great project failed to deliver on one of its biggest promises. Bought mine (4) back when I had my iPhone 4, worked like a dream. The iPhone 5 came out with the new Lightening adapter. Elevation Dock said no problem we will provide a temp connector bracket so you can use your Lightening connector until we make a zero force iPhone connector, then silence...crickets...broken promises...no communication....
Now they have a sticky pad for the bottom, and that is NOT the connector that they promised they would create for a permanent solution. Their design with the swappable connector was supposed to prevent obsoleteness, but nope didn't happen. I now have 4 half assed docks and no promised connector.
Other Kickstarter dock projects have. I have a dock with a zero force connector that shipped that way and delivered a hell of a lot faster than Elevation Dock. Until you make good on your promise for the zero force iPhone connector, I'm done spending another cent on any product/project you run.
Creator Brent Sagnotti on November 24
Any Black Friday deals going on this week? I need to order some iPhone5 adapters now that my phone has been upgraded!
Creator Matthew Fitzsimmons on October 11
Other companies are shipping Apple-certified lightning devices now. When can we expect to have a real iPhone 5/5s solution?

So the power adaptor exploded in my face when I was using the lightning adaptor kit. Luckily nothing happened to me or my phone. The lightning cable now looks burned and I don't think I should use it or the docks anymore.
Creator Rob Shepard on April 24, 2013
Just wanted to chime in and say I am still very happy with my ElevationDock. Since i switched to the iPhone 5, i lost the easy-of-removal, but the dock still looks so damn nice compared to everything else.
I wonder if there is an easy way to Dremel the Lightning connector down just a hair to get reclaim some of the easy-to-remove functionality of the dock as originally intended.
Also, if Apple ever relaxes their guidelines for Lightning based connectors and devices, will ElevationLabs release updated Lighting inserts?
Creator Ricardo on April 16, 2013
I did received mine!!!! it's wonderful, I only missed the audio part :( - not an ElevationsLab issue.
Thank you!!

Still my favorite project backed, and I've backed some cool things. Love the future proofing with a swappable connection. The only problem is I find my phone lying face down on the nightstand in front of the dock many mornings... and my girlfriend's phone on the dock!!! Looks like I know what someone's getting for her birthday! ;) Thanks Casey.

Creator Bob Thompson on February 5, 2013
Just a note of thanks...I now own three of these - one from the KS campaign and two from the recent "seconds" sale. Two are for my 4S - one at home, one at work. The third is for my wife's 5 at home. We are very happy with the docks and get lots of compliments on them. Great work.
Creator JAMES CROW on February 4, 2013
Just to reiterate, Willis's fix works great and it's really easy.
I couldn't find my Dremel tool so I just used a file to shave both sides of the lightning connector until the notch on both side was gone and now my 2 Elevation Docks work just like they did with the iPhone 4. I'm not sure if Casey can endorse this fix or not but I don't fault him at all for problems with the new connectors. I backed his project to work with the iPhone 4 (which it did) and I thank him for coming up with a solution to make it work with the iPhone 5 before Apple made the new connectors available to him. -
Creator JAMES CROW on February 3, 2013
Thanks for the fix Willis!!! It works great!
Creator Victor Leal Garcia on February 2, 2013
Hey.... I still didn't' received my dock... What should i do??
Creator Willis Gomez on January 31, 2013
For those with iPhone 5: I got the new lightning attachment from Casey website and I got a second cable.
What I did with the cable connection to be able to remove the iPhone with ONE hand is:
I shaved the side of the connection in the cable with my Dremel Rotary tool like this one http://amzn.to/Wivdh7 just enough so the little hooks of the iPhone 5 don't have a wedge to hold to it. And thats all. It Works beautifully. Hope this helps. -
Creator MIKE KRILIVSKY on January 30, 2013
Thanks for the response.
However, this was not noted when buying the connector. And even though you're working on it, it doesn't solve the issue of me paying $120 total for something that I can't really use. Having raised $1.4 mil, do you think you can spare a refund for the device and iphone 5 connector ($100 total) that I bought from you? I'll eat the $20 for the extra iphone cable I had to buy that you guys didn't supply me with.
Of course, if you had a solution ready and I had to wait a week or 2 or even a month, I would be fine with that, but it doesn't sound like this one is going to be solved anytime soon.
Let me know
Creator Casey Hopkins + ElevationLab on January 28, 2013
Onepercent - Not sure on that, I would check the USB connection inside the dock to make sure its fully seated. If it persists, send a note to email@example.com
Lachlan - We will email you today. And in general, always email us instead of going through the kickstarter messenger.
Mike, Noah - Yes, Apple's new cord is not low-friction like our custom 30pin. That is something we are working on.
Detlef - Right on. -
Creator MIKE KRILIVSKY on January 27, 2013
I emailed you guys with no response. I bought the dock for the iPhone 4S. It took a VERY time to come in and being an apple enthusiast, I purchased the iPhone 5 and barely was able to enjoy the dock for the 4s. I had to then wait a long time and not have a dock. Then, instead of sending me the part for free, i had to buy your connector and a $20 cable from apple only to find out that it didn't work properly anymore. The dock sticks like the tester demo docks in your video display and that is super annoying since I paid $85+$15+$20+s/h to prevent that issue in the first place lol
Can someone please make me a happy customer?
Thank you.
Creator Lachlan on January 26, 2013
Hi there,
I also haven't received my Elevation dock. I sent a message in via Kickstarter's "Ask a question" a week ago, but received no response. -
Creator onepercent on January 26, 2013
Hi Casey,
I've been having some trouble with my Elevation Dock.
My dock is directly connected to my iMac through USB, and when I dock my iPhone while the iMac is not asleep, it doesn't register with the iMac and is neither being charged nor able to be synced with iTunes. However, when the iMac is asleep and I dock the iPhone, it will wake up the iMac, begin to charge, and then return the iMac to sleep.
Please help me troubleshoot this. By the way, I'm using the old 30-pin connector with an iPhone 4S on a mid-2011 iMac with OS 10.8.2.
Creator Detlef Otten on January 24, 2013
An elevation dock for the iPad (mini) would be nice. I'm happy with mine still using a 4S.
Creator Trevin Chow on January 24, 2013
Same concern as Noah. I installed the iPhone 5 lightning connector kit the other day and the friction is so high on the connector that the entire dock lifts up. So the elevation dock is now like all the docks the original KS video ridiculed!
Creator Noah on January 23, 2013
Do I need to do anything to make my iPhone 5 come up out of the dock with one hand? When I try to lift it up like the Video shows, the entire dock is lifted up off my desk. I really thought this dock would be different, but it's just as hard to remove as every other dock I've used in the past. Anyhoo...
Creator Casey Hopkins + ElevationLab on January 23, 2013
Clarissa - Thats not good. We will email you today. Thx -Lisa
Creator CLARISSA ZIMERMANN on January 23, 2013
I live in Brazil and so far I haven't received my dock. Casey, can you get in touch with me to solve the problem?
My email is firstname.lastname@example.com you!
Creator John Cachero on January 14, 2013
Months ago when I received my iPhone 5, I reluctantly accepted that I had purchased an $80+ paperweight. A moment ago I thought, "Surely, they have to have an elegant solution for the backers who helped raise nearly $1.5 million"... I thought wrong.
I haven't asked for a refund and will likely never do so, but I am seriously disappointed with how this situation has been handled.
Creator Casey Hopkins + ElevationLab on January 9, 2013
Chris -- We are just now catching up with back orders from the holidays and haven't shipped to any retailers yet. Send a note to firstname.lastname@example.com and we can help you out.

@Casey, after looking closely at the audio connector. It seems that the circuit board was screwed in an angle. It's flushed on the audio connector side and at the 30 pin connector. There is about a 2-3mm gap. There should have been a gap between the dock and the circuit board on the audio side. So the screw behind the audio connector, pushed/ forced the audio connector against the dock opening. I don't have an allen wrench small enough to fix this. Help please.

Creator shawn on December 24, 2012
i have a dock+, and received my lightning adaptor yesterday. i like the build of the whole dock, but giving up audio out with the adaptor is a disappointment. i bought the + for the audio out, so not having it makes the adaptor useless. this HAD so much potential, but now am left with a paperweight.

@Casey, So I opened my dock to change out the cable and the audio connector popped out. Like it was just sitting there all this time. I think it was soldered poorly. Now it doesn't work that well anymore. What to do?
Creator Arnold A Sitorus on December 19, 2012
Is it not possible to make the iPhone 5 adapter to be designed with a higher position to accomodate the audio cable re-route to the metal hole left by 30 pin connector which is wider than the Lighting connector?
Creator Mark Thompson on December 18, 2012
Okay, I understand that Casey (and yes, I feel mildly foolish) ... How about doing a new dock then that has this functionality? You may even persuade me to buy one, 'though at the moment I'm likely to buy the inferior looking Belkin so I have the functionality I want and had with my 4S and the Dock+ ... I quite like the look of the shiny blue Dock :)

National Flood Insurance Program:
Continued Actions Needed to Address Financial and Operational Issues
GAO-10-631T, Apr 21, 2010
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), established in 1968, provides policyholders with insurance coverage for flood damage. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) within the Department of Homeland Security is responsible for managing NFIP. Unprecedented losses from the 2005 hurricane season and NFIP's periodic need to borrow from the U.S. Treasury to pay flood insurance claims have raised concerns about the program's long-term financial solvency. Because of these concerns and NFIP's operational issues, NFIP has been on GAO's high-risk list since March 2006. As of April 2010, NFIP's debt to Treasury stood at $18.8 billion. The Subcommittee asked GAO to discuss (1) NFIP's financial challenges, (2) FEMA's operational and management challenges, and (3) actions needed to address these challenges. In preparing this statement, GAO relied on its past work on NFIP and GAO's ongoing review of FEMA's management of NFIP focused on information technology and contractor oversight issues.
While Congress and FEMA intended that NFIP be funded with premiums collected from policyholders rather than with tax dollars, the program is, by design, not actuarially sound. NFIP cannot do some of the things that private insurers do to manage their risks. For example, NFIP is not structured to build a capital surplus, is likely unable to purchase reinsurance to cover catastrophic losses, cannot reject high-risk applicants, and is subject to statutory limits on rate increases. In addition, its premium rates do not reflect actual flood risk. For example, nearly one in four property owners pay subsidized rates, "full-risk" rates may not reflect the full risk of flooding, and NFIP allows "grandfathered" rates, which allow some property owners to continue paying rates that do not reflect reassessments of their properties' flood risk. Further, NFIP cannot deny insurance on the basis of frequent losses and thus provides policies for repetitive loss properties, which represent only 1 percent of policies but account for 25 to 30 percent of claims. NFIP's financial condition has improved slightly due to an increase in the number of policyholders and moderate flood losses, and since March 2009, FEMA has taken some encouraging steps toward improving its financial position, including making $600 million in interest payments to Treasury without increasing its borrowings. However, it is unlikely to pay off its full $18.8 billion debt, especially if it faces catastrophic loss years. Operational and management issues may also limit efforts to address NFIP's financial challenges and meet program goals. Payments to write-your-own (WYO) insurers, which are key to NFIP operations, represent one-third to two-thirds of the premiums collected. But FEMA does not systematically consider actual flood insurance expense information when calculating these payments and has not aligned its WYO bonus structure with NFIP goals or implemented all of its financial controls for the WYO program. GAO also found that FEMA did not consistently follow its procedures for monitoring non-WYO contractors or coordinate contract monitoring responsibilities among departments on some contracts. Some contract monitoring records were missing, and no system was in place that would allow departments to share information on contractor deficiencies. In ongoing GAO work examining FEMA's management of NFIP, some similar issues are emerging. For example, FEMA still lacks an effective system to manage flood insurance policy and claims data, despite investing roughly 7 years and $40 million on a new system whose development has been halted. However, FEMA has begun to acknowledge its management challenges and develop a plan of action. Addressing the financial challenges facing NFIP would likely require actions by both FEMA and Congress that involve trade-offs, and the challenges could be difficult to remedy. For example, reducing subsidies could increase collected premiums but reduce program participation. At the same time, FEMA must address its operational and management issues. GAO has recommended a number of actions that FEMA could take to improve NFIP operations, and ongoing work will likely identify additional issues.
