Getting Crafty with Crafts
Most people know about the Internet selling website eBay. It is a website that allows individuals and businesses to list items for sale. Then, buyers use an auction process, where each buyer indicates how much he or she is willing to pay for an item and the person who is willing to pay the most buys the product.
eBay is probably the most well known Internet auction website, but recently, I heard about a new Internet selling site aimed at (designed for) individual sellers who are crafty (two meanings: 1) clever; 2) able to make things with one's hands, especially decorative things).
In the past five to ten years in the U.S., there has been a resurgence of interest (increased interest after a period of not being popular) in crafts, especially knitting and crocheting. Knitting and crocheting are two methods of using yarn (thick thread) and long needles (sticks) to make things like sweaters, scarves, baby clothes, handbags, and many other things. (Crocheting (pronounced "crow-shay-ing") uses one needle with a hook at the end, and knitting uses two needles, with no hook.)
This new selling website takes advantage of this interest in crafts and is called Etsy. All of the products listed on the website are crafts, or things that are handmade (made by one's hands, rather than by machines in factories). On the website, you will find sweaters and scarves (long pieces of fabric you put around your neck to keep you warm), of course, but also handmade greeting cards (such as birthday cards, Christmas cards), cases for cell phones, candles, furniture, clocks, jewelry, and much more. On the site, the seller sets (determines) the price. And if you don't find what you're looking for on the website, there is a page where customers can ask for custom (made for a specific customer) products and the price they are willing to pay.
For many people, crafts are a hobby (activity done in one's free time for fun), but many people are turning crafts into cash, especially in these difficult economic times. When I was little, my mother taught me how to knit, and later on, my sister taught me how to crochet. Looking at the nice quality products that other people can make on this site has really put my own efforts to shame (makes me embarrassed about the low quality of the things I've made). If you ever see me with an odd-shaped (strangely-shaped) scarf or a lopsided (with one side smaller or lower than the other) hat, you'll know I didn't get it from Etsy. I made it myself. I'm afraid I'm not too crafty with my crafts.
Are you crafty? What can you make? What would you like to learn to make?
Me? I've always wanted to learn to make things with wood, perhaps to build small pieces of furniture or other practical things. But given (considering; keeping in mind) I'm not very good with my hands, I think I better stick with (stay with) writing scripts!

The Model A chair has become an icon of industrial esthetics. It's unfailing popularity since 1934 has enabled to enter the Collections of the Vitra Design Museum, MOMA and the Pompidou Center. This mythical chair, crafted of sheet metal, has been assured by «it's fool-proof solidity, it's unequalled lightness, it's easy maintenance» advantages of which can be included «inexpensive».
All merit goes to Xavier Pauchard (1880-1948) who was a pioneer of galvanisation in France. The different models (rustproof, robust and stackable) conceived by Xavier Pauchard found their place directly inside factories, offices and hospitals, as well as outside, on cafe terraces and in public parks. Embarked aboard the ship, Normandie, in 1935, these chairs also filled the aisles of the 1937 Exposition Internationale Arts et Techniques.
Today this enterprise is endowed with the latest technology which accompanies it's numerous inherited manual processes and equipement. Moreover, it's with real legitimacy that Tolix received the label, «A Living Heritage Enterprise» awarded by the Ministry of Economics, Finance and Industry, in 2006.In detail:
- Type : Chair
Colour : Raw glossy varnished
Material : Glossy varnished raw steel sheet (overstitched blobs of solder and brazings)
- Dimensions : W 51 cm × D 46 cm x H 85 cm - Seat : H 44 cm
- Characteristics : Stackable (up to 8 chairs high) - Only for indoor use

"Astrid Jones copes with her small town's gossip and narrow-mindedness by staring at the sky and imagining that she's sending love to the passengers in the airplanes flying high over her backyard. Maybe they'll know what to do with it. Maybe it'll make them happy. Maybe they'll need it. Her mother doesn't want it, her father's always stoned, her perfect sister's too busy trying to fit in, and the people in her small town would never allow her to love the person she really wants to: another girl named Dee. There's no one Astrid feels she can talk to about this deep secret or the profound questions that she's trying to answer. But little does she know just how much sending her love--and asking the right questions--will affect the passengers' lives, and her own, for the better"--

Conan O'Brien delivered his last monologue as host of "The Tonight Show" -- and it was full of the usual self-deprecating humor ... and a few shots at his now former employer.
And Conan delivered this touching thank you to his fans before performing "Free Bird" with Will Ferrell.
The NBC bug was absent from the screen for most of the monologue, as well as during Conan's last little bit when he talked about the network. Interesting, huh?
And then thanks them sincerely. Good man.
I have been a long standing Conanite, I have watched his show since I was 13 years old when my parents finally let me get a tv in my bedroom back in the day...I am 28 years of age now and really sad that this small staple in my life will now be nonexistant. Wathing Conan at night was like comfort food. I really hope he finds a new home at another network! I'm pretty disapointed in how this whole thing played out with NBC and feel that Jay should have bowed out.
I must admit I am not a Conan fan, but his statements at the end of the final show make it clear he is a classy guy. I admire him for the way he thanked NBC after working there for 20 years and how he told young people not to be cynical and to work hard. I have enjoyed watching Leno, Letterman and Conan the past couple of weeks and listen to all the jokes flying about the competition between the 3 late night hosts. It was easy to see he was sincere about not wanting to leave the Tonight Show and he could have really run down NBC but by taking the high road, showed me what a good guy he has been through all this. Most people would not have ended it like this. Good luck Conan!
Before you finally go away Conan, please donate a few million of your pay-off money to HAITI. hopeforhaitinow.org
Well, Leno will be back soon... time for us to change the channel and watch Letterman!!!!
Conan...go to HBO or Fox, they would probably love a critically acclaimed Emmy award winner and a Writers Guild of America Award winner from Harvard
...unlike the other guy
Does he want some cheese with his whine?
looks like ill be watching letterman until september. we will miss you conan!!!
Here's hoping TMZ accurately covers Conan's last 15 minutes. It really came off as genuine.
As for that AP article posted previously, here's all you need to read to understand that Peter L. Bosch is simply a disgruntled fanboy.
TMZ, can you please post the video of Conan at the end of the episode before WIll Ferrell where he THANKS NBC for helping him begin his career??
Kthanks >.
i'm so sad :( He went out like a gentleman....now on to brighter and better things!!! GOOD LUCK CONAN!
The last show was AWESOME! now I wish I would have watched him more. Best of luck to you, COCO!!!
conan is the best. CAN NOT BE REPLACED. everybody watch letterman. conan's words at the end of the show touched me deeply. he is the best and will be missed!!:))

Sweet Zuzanna is one of 13 solo-model sites in a network that features "sweet babes" and, in my opinion, it is also the site featuring the sexiest babe of the bunch. However, she's apparently too sexy for updates and hasn't given us anything new since September 2011.
It wouldn't be such a proverbial kick in the pants if the star of SweetZuzanna had filmed more flicks before choking off our supply. I won't lie and try to tell you that I'm not happy with the 16 videos that she does offer. What's lacking in quantity is made up for by their good-quality playback. One that I particularly enjoyed has an interview shot on location in Thailand. I loved it because it provided me with some intimate insight into her life.
The other movies feature much more erotic action. In one film she wears a maid's outfit and wanders the apartment like a leisurely sex kitten before going to the bedroom, removing her uniform and stroking her pussy. The flick, with a combination of music and natural sounds, is hot.
The picture sets are slightly more abundant. There are 50 galleries with approximately 130 high-res images in each that can be downloaded in Zip files. There's a lot of variety between indoor and outdoor locations and the photography gives us many different angles and sharp glamour-style images to linger over.
While most of the sets feature Zuzanna on her own, there was one lesbian one that was particularly steamy, even if the chicks are surrounded by snow and icicles as they lick each other and use a couple of different toys. There's also one hardcore shoot where she gives a blowjob and has sex.
There is a bio where you can gather a few more details about this blonde like what her hobbies are, what are her measurements and other stats like that. It also has a write-up that gets a bit more in depth about how she learned English and what her hometown in the Czech Republic is like.
In addition to all this, you get access to those other sites that I mentioned before, like Sweet Suzie, Sweet Regina, Sweet Vicky and Sweet Tiffany. There's a live cam site that's linked to, but it costs extra. Given its size, Sweet Zuzanna just not worth joining.

Campaign 2012OK Tuesday was election day and people were out and voting. Of course, some were still trying to go around and have you vote for their candidate.
Well a Mitt Romney supporter decided to stop by my house, and I guess we discussed the naked truth. lol
It was a beautiful day so I had the windows open and taking a very relaxing airbath when I heard a knock on my screen door. This lady could see I was there and started to ask me if I voted and who I voted for and what party I registered with. I found these questions a bit personal and decide to let her see for herself.
So I stood up and walk to the door way. Her eyes went big and she stopped talking for a moment.
She then informed me that she was uncomfortable with my nudity and I should not parade around naked for her too see.
I reminded her that my neighborhood was a non soliciting neighborhood and that I am a nudist, this is my home and that she was invading my privacy and right to be comfortable.
She said political solicitation is legal in non solicitation zones and I still should be wearing something.
I reminder her that it is still my privacy not to have ANY solicitation and nudity was not illegal. Also since she was going house to house, see should be ready for people's responses no matter what. After all, isn't this the USA and we are to have freedoms? If you don't like it why are you staring at my ****? Why don't you just say goodbye and leave if you are uncomfortable?
She could not say anymore so she left in a huff. Of course not leaving before taking one final long look.

Bare Hugs
I guess maybe I should post my story about how I was naked in front of the Obama campaigner.
Yeah, go for it!
Hmmm ... interesting to hear about the Romney campaigner getting bent out of shape in response to the door answered by a naked guy, while the Obama campaigner is cool with it. Another reason why I think we elected the right guy.You can disagree with me, of course: but you can't make me put on my clothes!
I don't know, the democrats aren't always cool with it. Nanci Pelosi was quite smug with her stance in favor of re-illegalizing public nudity in San Francisco.
OMG lol...the very same thing happened to me during the night of the DNC, only it was an Obama supporter and she didn't mind that I was nude...how funny.
Nothing worse than someone coming into your house and telling you what you should be doing, gets my goat I tell you. In fact when she arrived you should have told her that people are expected to remove their clothes when they come in. Isn't that the same as removing your shoes in someones house who has a very light carpet, lol.
Nudy I'm just mischievous, lol. All the best with future unwelcomed visitors :)
I'm laughing hard here at the thought... Take Care *hugs*
You told her!
You cracked me up! Now I know how to welcome Jehova's wittnesses next time! *roflmfao*
I need a link! ;-)
If it had been me I would have been trying to get your vote
I love naked men. Almost as much as naked women
Well, you forgot about conservatives' god-given right to impose their beliefs upon everyone else.
Liberals do the same thing. It's Libertarians who believe people should do as they please as long as they don't harm others.
Looks like this lady forgot that we indeed have the right to bare arms... and legs, chest, and so on. It's also funny how she had no problem looking "South of the Border" while claiming to be uncomfortable. Actually, it's downright hilarious, because it proves that even the most prudish of people can't resist looking when they see someone naked for any reason.
Good for YOU nudy and I hope Mr. nudy from down south gave her a lil wink to to send her on her crazy way too..... :D I LOVED reading this..It'll keep me smiling for the rest of the day!!
America is about freedom and that includes being nude in your home. You didn't invite her and she had a problem with it. But she still wanted you to support her candidate? That is one way NOT to get someone to support a candidate.

Location is the best featurePosted 15-Aug-2011
The location is what makes the St Andrews Motor Inn. Every room has a balcony/patio that overlooks the harbour, with view of the boating action and a sunset, if you're lucky. It is right on the edge of the downtown area, so you can walk to most of the attractions and restaurants. It is also in the historical residential area, which makes for a pleasant walk. The hotel itself isn't anything special, although clean and comfortable enough. The bathroom had recently been redone, but the drying light didn't work, and there was no hairdryer. We had a housekeeping suite, with a full kitchenette that we didn't use, but could be a nice feature if you're looking to do your own cooking.

Old but conveniently locatedPosted 12-Jul-2011
This hotel is right on the Main Street in St. Andrews which is why we chose to stay here. It is quite old with indoor/outdoor carpet and old bedspreads, etc. They had plumbing problems in the hotel so we had to be careful flushing to be sure the toilet didn't overflow, apparently people had been moved from our room the night before because of toilet back-up....needless to say I kept my shoes on at all times!!! Our room was on the first floor with a walkout to the backyard which was a grassed in area looking over the water. We spent the evening relaxing on the lawn chairs provided.

Israeli offensive kills 15 Gazans
Israel's military offensive on the Gaza Strip killed 15 Palestinians Monday, including a local journalist, while wounding dozens of others, authorities said.
A 17-year-old Palestinian was killed and 25 wounded in an Israeli airstrike on a mosque in the old city of Gaza, Ashraf al-Qedra, Gaza's health ministry spokesperson, was quoted as saying by Xinhua.
He added that four other Palestinians were killed in separate airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, including freelance journalist Abdulla Murtaja from eastern Gaza, who was killed by a tank shell.
Earlier Monday, al-Qedra said that four Palestinians were killed and three wounded in an Israeli airstrike targeting a car that was driving in one of Gaza city's main streets.
He added that three other Palestinians were killed and three wounded in a separate airstrike on a house in Jabalia town in northern Gaza Strip.
Three people, including a 48-year-old woman, were killed and six others were wounded in three separate airstrikes on northern and central Gaza Strip, according to the spokesperon.
Overnight Sunday and on Monday morning, Israeli war jets continued intensive airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, while tanks stationed in northern and eastern Gaza Strip, fired dozens of tanks shells in the areas.
Israel Radio reported that around 100 rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip into Israel. The radio reported that no injuries were reported, but some damage was caused to Israeli properties.
Al-Qassam Brigades, the Islamist Hamas movement's armed wing said in a text message that its militants seized Monday an Israeli reconnaissance drone that was gun down in northern Gaza Strip.
The health ministry in Gaza said in an emailed press statement that the Palestinian death toll has reached 2,131, mostly civilians, and 10,854 injured since Israel began its large-scale offensive on the densely-populated enclave.

So, I paint my nails pretty regularly these days. I also work as a barista/cashier pretty regularly these days. A few weeks back, I had a customer come in, a fairly typical, sheltered, suburban soccer mom, and she ordered a latte from me. She saw my brightly colored nails and said, "Wow, you're so brave! My son asked me about painting his nails, and if it's okay for boys to do that. Now I'll tell him there's a cool guy who does it too!" It was a nice moment, very cute.
Then, last week, she came in again, and said, "Hey, I'm so glad you're here! I want you to meet someone!" She then brings her son forward, and says, "Okay sweetie, show him what you did!" And he throws his hands up, showing off his bright, sparkling blue nails. He shows them off, and I show mine off to him. He smiles. We fist bump.
Guys, I've only wanted to cry once at work before, and that was when someone ordered a large dry soy cappuccino on ice.
This time, though. This was a good cry.That's so cute!
"Oh and one more thing"
[Cosmo voice] Riiiiiiiiiiiight.
Yesterday, my 8 year old brother asked me why I don't have a boyfriend. I simply told him I didn't like boys, because boys have cooties. He wasn't convinced, though. He looked me straight in the eye and asked if I had a girlfriend. I was shocked. I thought I did a pretty good job of keeping my sexuality to myself after coming out to my mom had backfired, but apparently not. I didn't want to lie to him, so I just smiled and said I wish, but I don't. He thought for a few minutes and then asked if that was why I didn't dress like a girly girl, like my little sister. I told him yes, that's part of it. And that was that. No further questions, he accepted it and went back to playing with his legos.
Today, I came home to a bag from Kohl's laying on my bed with this blue shirt in it. I took it to my brother to have him hang it up, but he said it wasn't his. He said he bought it with his birthday money for me while he was out with my stepdad, because it's my favorite color. I told him I love it and gave him a hug. Before he ran off again, he made sure to whisper to me that it came from the boy's section.
I've never felt more loved or accepted than I do today. I have the best brother in the whole world. (:
(Excuse my face, he insisted I made my "grr" face when I took this.)
Reblogging because that is just too cute.
I'm actually crying

Be open-minded. Keep in mind that you have to have 24 chapel credits; however, you can definitely sleep through them. Keep on top of studying/ homework; it will help in the long run!Read More
It is a small community, so if you are looking for a big party school, Trevecca is not that. It is a private christian college and does have some regulations that are not found in other public schools.Read More
If you are staying on campus, get the meal plan--you will not regret it. Bedlofts are space savers, and the desk in your dorm fits perfectly under it--just take off the top shelves and store it in the closet for shoes, food, or more storage space. The dorm layout and the space that you share with your roommate is convenient and spacey, but be warned, you do have to share a closet with your roommate, and a bathroom with 3 other people. Overall the dorms are pretty quiet. Make sure to pack only what you need. Don't bring anything that screws into the wall, but if you want to hang pictures or posters, etc- bring a hot glue gun, putty, or those sticker hooks. Bookstore books are decently priced, everything is easy to find, and Chapel is required and a lot of fun!Read More
Don't be turned away by the Nazarene background, its not all crazy Christians trying to convert everyone. The campus is small but it has a lot to offer in terms of community outreach programs.

WASHINGTON, DC (ABC News) - Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords will step down from the House this week and not seek re-election when her current term expires this year, she announced today.
Giffords has made a stunning recovery after being shot in the head when a gunman opened fire while the Arizona congresswoman was meeting with constituents at a suburban Arizona supermarket in January 2011. But she said in the video today that she needs to focus on her rehabilitation.
"I have more work to do on my recovery and so to do what is best for Arizona I will step down this week," Giffords, speaking clearly but slowly and haltingly, said in a video posted online Sunday. "Thank you for your prayers and for giving me time to recover."
Before leaving office, Giffords will complete the "Congress On Your Corner" event that was interrupted last January when 22-year-old gunman Jared Loughner opened fire, killing six and wounding twelve.
Giffords will also attend Tuesday's State of the Union address.
In a statement today, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Giffords has been "an inspiring symbol of determination and courage to millions of Americans."
"Gabby's message of bipartisanship and civility is one that all in Washington and the nation should honor and emulate," Pelosi said in the statement. "I join all my colleagues in Congress in thanking Gabby for the honor of calling her colleague and wishing Gabby and Mark great success and happiness. She will be missed in the House of Representatives, but her legacy in the Congress and her leadership for our nation will certainly continue."
Full statement from Giffords:
"Arizona is my home, always will be. A lot has happened over the past year. We need to not change that but I know on the issues we fought for we can change things for the better. We can do so much more by working together. I don't remember much from that horrible day but I will never forget the trust you placed in me to be your voice. Thank you for your prayers and for giving me time to recover. I have more work to do on my recovery and so to do what is best for Arizona I will step down this week I'm getting better every day. My spirit is high. I will return and we will work together for Arizona and this great country."
Statement by Congressman Brian Higgins on the Departure of Rep. Giffords
"Congresswoman Giffords had long been recognized as a fighter in the House of Representatives but over the last year her strength has served as an inspiration for the entire nation. Despite her departure she will continue to be a living example of the remarkable power of perseverance when facing momentous obstacles. We will miss our colleague and our friend but wish her and her family health and happiness as she continues her great recovery."

Acting as almost a sixth offensive linemen but still technically playing in the "Gronk role", Daniel Fells was an unsung hero for the New England Patriots in the 49-19 drubbing of the New York Jets on Thanksgiving. He was a huge reason for the Patriots success in running the ball towards the strong side of the field, and he helped pave the way for another solid rushing day for Stevan Ridley and Shane Vereen. Ridley averaged 4.6 yards per attempt and was just three yards away from notching 100.
His efforts did not go unnoticed by the coaching staff, with offensive coordinator dropping the most effusive praise on Fells.
"Daniel Fells really did a nice job of carrying out his role in the game plan," McDaniels said. "We asked a lot of different things of Daniel last night, asked him to do some different things in the running game, asked him to pass protect at times, and he made a good catch there for a good chunk there in the third quarter I believe."
I still don't understand why Fells was a healthy scratch last game against the Indianapolis Colts, because he is one of the best blocking TEs in the league and is an underrated pass-catcher. He brings more to the table than Visanthe Shiancoe as well, so it wasn't surprising to see Fells out there more than Shiancoe yesterday. In fact, it was definitely a good thing and credit needs to be given to the coaching staff for that decision.
Bill Belichick also sent some praise Fells's way, "Daniel did a good job for us. I thought that he showed up on a number of plays in the running game and in the passing game. I thought he did a good job."
He more than "showed up". Fells was terrific and is a great run blocker and pass blocker as well, with the latter quality being a bit tougher to find among TEs in the league.

Pick up some segments of the GQ universe only through the household sample. The segments could be defined by size or type. These segments would be represented in estimates of the total population, but the samples would probably be too small to produce reliable results for the group quarters population separately.
Completely exclude some GQ segments from the ACS universe.
Both of these options have the advantage of eliminating the need to maintain a sampling frame for certain segments of the universe. The first option would require that field representatives be able to conduct a household or GQ interview, depending on what is found in the field, or that a field representative refer a facility to the central office for interviewing at a later time.
These changes would have to be carefully considered in the context of data user needs, especially if the GQ estimates are important for calculating total population estimates. However, as discussed, a small number of GQ types are already excluded from the ACS data collection for a variety of reasons, and ACS estimates are controlled to be consistent with the PEP estimates for all group quarters (U.S. Census Bureau, 2009). Excluding more facilities would surely raise new concerns, but it is important to evaluate whether some are contributing disproportionately more to the cost of the data collection than the use of the data justifies. As discussed above, other sources that could provide population counts of the residents of certain types of group quarters should also be considered when evaluating this issue.
Recommendation 2-6: The Census Bureau should conduct a general evaluation of the reasons for the relatively high rates of ineligible and eligible but unoccupied group quarter facilities in the ACS sample and determine whether there are practical ways to reduce these rates for all or some group quarters.
Recommendation 2-7: The evaluation should take into consideration the costs associated with determining that a facility is ineligible or unoccupied and how these costs would change if some of the work were performed before a case is sent to the field.

these are continious type light,i prefer flash they all do the same light the model some will need lots of power Halogen Heads & Tungsten Heads other needs lots of tubes.
Halogen Heads & Tungsten Heads make lots of heat with all of these you are limited to the modifer you can fit they need to be flame proof etc i would go fo 0ne 300 watt flash and a bounce board to start with and build from there.
the lights you are talking about age and the colour temp will shift then you fit a new globe and it is not the same,etc,etc. a studio flash of 300 watts with a on time of 1/2 sec gives you 150 watts of light a 300 watt continious light on for the same time gives you 0.041666 of a watt light. so unless you want a studio to look like a football studium go for flash
Hi Thair,
for portraits it might be worth considering flash heads. Reason being, your subject's pupils/eyes will adjust to continuous lighting, whereas with flash heads, the eyes dont have time to adjust.
I recently purchased an Elinchrom d-lite 2 flash-head kit, which I'm very pleased with.
Yes I agree with the above. The lights you're talking about are continuous lighting which are better used for product and still life types of shots. A pair of strobes 200-400w will keep you going for some time before you feel the urge to start experimenting and these are best suited for portrait work. It really depends on what you shoot most.

Antarctic Octopus Living Testament To Global Warming
The octopus, formerly known as both a delicacy food item and for being thrown onto the ice at hockey games, now has a new recognition: a living testament to the effects of global warming.
Genetic information from an Antarctic octopus species adds to a growing body of evidence of at least a partial collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) during a previous interglacial period (like during the Eemian interglacial some 125,000 years ago).
Members of Turquet's octopuses (pictured) tend to live in one place and only move to escape predators. This led to the understanding that specimens from areas on either side of Antarctica would be genetically different. What scientists found after examining specimens from each side of the WAIS was that both populations were genetically nearly identical.
Dr Phill Watts, from the University's Institute of Integrative Biology, explains: "We expected to find a marked difference between Turquet's octopuses living in different regions of the ocean, particularly between areas that are currently separated by approximately 10,000 km of sea. These creatures don't like to travel and so breeding between the populations in the Ross and Weddell Seas [now separated by those 10,000 km of ocean] would have been highly unusual."

I'd stay far away from a player like Dunn. All or nothing and a liability in the field.
What about acquiring some more pitching? Juan Cruz would be an ideal setup guy for Broxton.
Orlando Hudson (when healthy) is a quality 2B. He's a switch hitter + a great leader in the clubhouse. Blake Dewitt is a nice young player, but I'd prefer Hudson for a 1-2 year contract. His left handed bat at the #2 spot in the lineup would be good IMO.

First, when was the last time you had your sim replaced? Second, it is a good idea after Gingerbread update to reset your phone. I couldn't get my calander to sync and my battery counter to reset right after update. When I reset, everything started working right.
2. Re: g2x gingerbread updatebaracuda1971 Aug 6, 2011 5:36 AM (in response to pokeflute)
See if this helps any:
WCDMA - (Wideband Code Division Multiple) - 3g
GSM - (Global System for Mobile Communication) - 2g
To Toggle 2g/4g
Go to phone>settings>wireless & networks>mobile network settings and uncheck use only 2g neworks.
Under Network Mode, select "GSM/WCDMA auto"
Go into network operators>search networks and select T-Mobile UMTS
You need to have both modes enabled so it will toggle on it's own.
If not immediate change, turn off/on phone.
3. Re: g2x gingerbread updatepokeflute Aug 6, 2011 6:22 AM (in response to baracuda1971)Nothing I even restarted the phone. Should I go to the T-mobile store and let them check it out? Oh yeah I'm still using my old sim card from my g1
4. Re: g2x gingerbread updatebaracuda1971 Aug 6, 2011 7:06 AM (in response to pokeflute)
If your sim is that old, that would be a good start. Let me know how it turns out. Make sure they have your data package set for your phone right.
Good Luck!!!
5. Re: g2x gingerbread updatewrx20l Aug 6, 2011 10:18 AM (in response to baracuda1971)
I'm having the same issue. All other downloads work fine, but software updates come back "connection failed". I'm using a SIM card that predates the existence of Android, but I'm confused as to why that would make a difference. Does anyone know of a location where the update packaged can be downloaded directly?
7. Re: g2x gingerbread updatepokeflute Aug 6, 2011 3:30 PM (in response to pokeflute)They say its fine but I don't believe it. I guess I'll just do manual update when ice cream sandwich comes out or tell them what's up.
8. Re: g2x gingerbread updateedudleson Aug 7, 2011 7:49 AM (in response to pokeflute)
I don't have the GB update yet and I've been trying to check for software updates every day for the last 2 weeks. About a week ago I started getting the "connection failed" message when trying to connect to the servers. So it is not exclusive to GB. It may be a network failure of sorts. I haven't called T-Mo yet. I just figured maybe they were selectively deciding who could connect based on the upgrade or theres so much traffic from people trying to download the update that the servers are getting overwhelmed. Maybe I should call and find out.
9. Re: g2x gingerbread updatepokeflute Aug 7, 2011 10:22 AM (in response to edudleson)
yeah u do that and tell what happen because the rep i talk to said its normal if u have the bg update
10. Re: g2x gingerbread updatejoseg66 Aug 8, 2011 5:17 PM (in response to edudleson)
I too have the same error "connection failed" when I try to update to Gingerbread. I spoke to a Tmobile Rep and he did take some information down. He indicated that he will work with LG and determine why my phone is not updated yet. I have a LG-P999-DW a model sent to me by "customer care". It did seem that there are some phones having a problem getting the upgrade. In the meantime, I'm using the Sensation (sent to me by Customer Care for $99). Although my preference is the G2X if they can get it to upgrade to 2.3.3.
11. Re: g2x gingerbread updatec_hutler Aug 9, 2011 8:05 AM (in response to joseg66)
I'm getting the "connection failed" when I try to update to run a software update this week. Just last week it would connect to the server and return a message stating there were no updates avialable. My wife and I bought our G2xs on the same day in May and her phone updated weeks ago. I'm still waiting. When is the roll-out expected to be complete? Should I be concerned it hasn't been pushed to me yet?
12. Re: g2x gingerbread updatetaylor4004 Aug 9, 2011 10:54 AM (in response to pokeflute)
I'm having the same issue on my G2X. New, purchased in May. I got the GB update on 7/26/11. Worked fine until then... Now, "connection failed". Baracuda1971, seems I'm having the same problems you had... After your master reset, did this get fixed? If you manually go into "software update check" and try to do an update, do you get "connection failed"?
13. Re: g2x gingerbread updatec_hutler Aug 9, 2011 12:51 PM (in response to taylor4004)
I didn't even get the GB upgrade before experiencing the "connection failed" issue.
14. Re: g2x gingerbread updatepokeflute Aug 9, 2011 1:20 PM (in response to taylor4004)
when i did the manual update myself and went to the update check thing the status said current software or sumthing like that but after a week later of the manual update then it started to say connection failed. bummer!!!

Windows 7 Starter
Asus EE Netbook Start-up Problem
I have recently encountered a problem with my Asus EE Netbook, I am running windows 7 starter.
A couple of days ago whilst browsing the internet my system froze, the screen flashed blue and then the netbook turned off.
When restarted it comes up with the options of Starting windows normally or launching start up repair so i launch start-up repair. This cannot solve any problems so i then go to the menu showing other system repair options, (system restore, system image recovery etc) However when i click on any of the options they fail fix the problem (No system restore points found etc) .
I do have a :E drive named Backup installed by the guy who fixed it first time round, but i have no idea how to use this
Any ideas?
All this comes after the hard-drive was replaced a couple of weeks ago after it failed.
Thanks in advance

25 Things Chefs Hate About You
- mcgeary Apr 9, 2009 06:13 AM
This made me cackle this morning, because it reads like a greatest-hits compilation of contentious threads on the "Not About Food" board:
re: Phaedrus
Personally I've had to split a burger four ways for tables several times, a chicken three ways for a table, and more often than you would think, I have had split requests (burgers, steaks, seafood) with different temps for each half of the split. I've never had to split a soup by more than just two portions.
re: ktb615
That is just bizarre. Phaedrus's callouts were what stuck out to me as well - the steak split temps is strange, but the soup 4 ways is even stranger. I wouldn't dream of doing either.
re: LindaWhit
RE: the soup.
If someone and hie/her three friends are THAT cheep don't eat out...but otherwise the idea is very funny.
re: Withnail42
faced with that request, i'd ceremoniously serve the soup myself----
i'd put on a clean jacket and put *one* bowl of soup on a cloth napkin-draped coffee tray (the smallest size round one). i'd put the bowl of soup down in the center of the table. then, with a flourish, i'd pull out 4 straws!
i'd curtsy slightly, murmur "bon appetit". . . and hopefully make it past the kitchen door before ROTFL ;-)
re: soupkitten
I love this, because all I could think when I read that was, have they never thought of using two spoons?
I'm the type of person who eats soup, gets full, and than two bites of my entree. However, I enjoy a good soup and why skip it if I like it? That's what my little foil swan is for -- the rest of my dinner!
I would never ask for a smaller portion than offered of soup! I'll often pass it over to someone at my table after eating half...is that such a social faux pas?
re: Phaedrus
Jfood thinks the steak comment should go both ways. He was once told at Abe & Louie's in Boston that the only steak that the chef on duty that night could cook medium rare all the way was the boneless sirloin.
I was management in the food industry for over 20 years, none of it surprises me.
I got to the point of praying nightly that bufoons and cheapskates would just stay home, where they belong. Really, if you can't afford to be gracious and tip, PLEASE stay home.
I had to explain hundreds of times that if we paid the servers more money (so the customers didn't have to tip), then we'd have to pass that on by raising menu and drink prices, and in so doing, the servers would have no reason to do their best job. Thankfully, most people got it.
re: bayoucook
i've worked in fine dining many years, mostly in chef-owned restaurants. none of them really cared what the servers or bartenders were tipped. in fact, most of them truly thought the FOH staff made *too much* money anyway.
there was also an unwritten rule that guests were never to be questioned about the gratuity, unless it was absurdly high.
That's a rather odd list. As a Chef I could care less if you snap or whistle at your servers. In fact at select times I might encourage it! (hehehehe)
I thought I'd seen just about every split imaginable and I've spent a fair amount of time in steak houses. I've never seen a split temp request. There isn't a lot I say NO to but that would be one.
Bringing your own food is a biggie. I've had to bounce people for ordering pizza delivery in the bar.
I've had to deal with some sports celebs that were a major PITA. BB players are the worst. One very famous one could not keep his hands off my girls. And then there was the day I dealt with a 6'6" football player with roid rage yelling loud enough to wake all 225 rooms at 6 am. Lets just say after that my guys never found a B'fast request for alfredo, tenderloin and eggs unusual.
But there is always the fun stuff as well like room service to The Playmate of the year. (Grin)
re: Fritter
And did she tip well?
re: Phaedrus
Temporibus inserviendum! ;)
re: Fritter
:-) I had to Google it, but good man, Fritter, for that response. TPTB could very well have removed any other response. :-)
re: LindaWhit
Latin translated =
I'm a married spud
I'm a married spud
I'm a married spud
re: Fritter
::::Snort:::: You've learned much, grasshoppah. ;-)
re: Fritter
OK, that just fired up my imagination.
ha! omg i think i may have been part of that discussion, or maybe it was after the fact. no-brainers all, and it's amazing how far a little civility and kindness on the part of the customer can go towards getting them into the good graces of their fave restaurant. which is a nice place to be, cuz you get to try the new cookies before anybody else does, for free, and stuff.
although it's rude, I don't disagree with leaving if you sit down and realize you're not going to enjoy the place.
One timing blows, but I do not think people ever do it purposefully. And if I have to ask for more water, I think the server sort of deserves it.
I think tipping on free food is a big one, and always deserves mention, since some people take it for granted so easily.
re: Icantread
I know a police captain, who often gets his lunches comped by the restaurants in his district. Since that is considered a bribe, he usually tips what his meal was worth, or what he estimate its worth and ends up reporting it. I don't know if the waiter gets the tip or not but thats a pretty hefty tip.
To the point
"Don't sit down at a table, look at the menu, and then get up and leave. The cut-and-run point is at the door, or better yet, the Internet before you arrive."
I would counter to the restaurant:
"Don't sit me at a table, give me a menu and then ignore me for 10 minutes or more. If you do, I will get up and leave."
The rest of this seemed to be pretty legitimate gripes but that one is dopey, IMO.
re: Chris VR
Agreed. I have zero problem walking after being sat and have done so several times.
Most recently we were on the road and went into a place where the lobby was separate from the dining room. We were sat at a filthy table and as another server walked by the fish was so rancid it made me gag. I think we may have ran out of that place.
Being sat and ignored for an excessively long time is a good reason to walk.
In most cases we walk when we see something so egregiously filthy that we wouldn't eat there if they paid us.
The "cut and run" cut off point IMO is after you have ordered.
re: Chris VR
jfood has done this so called "cut-and-run" wherever that phrase came from a couple of times. Walk down a street, look into restaurant, looks good, sit down, nothing on the menu looks good and leavr. Is it better to stay, have a bad time, not enjoy the meal? That's a lose-lose.
And to thepoint of the internet. How about when the menu at the restaurant is not the same? Is that jfood's fault? These things happen.
re: jfood
I've left after being seated once, and it was embarrasing..I don't know why, but there was that stigmata about it!
The restaurant was recommended well, a kitchy mexican place that DH ate at a sister site often for lunch. (very casual, the sister site) It was in a strip mall, and had no menu posted.
We had been at a friends house, after fishing all morning, so docksiders, shorts, t shirts, and I'm pretty sure I had a bandana tied around my head. Not only was I not expecting the white tablecloths, but multiple tables full of fine dressed patrons. I felt like steerage being seated in first class dining on the titantic...conversation stopped...people stared, lol.
After seeing that the prices on the menu more than corresponded to the atmosphere, I dropped a few dollar bills on the table for my water and we took off...probably to the relief of our waitress.
re: Chris VR
On very rare occasions, I've done the cut-and-run when the menu didn't meet my advance expectations (I *always* do research first): prices or dishes have changed really significantly, or the restaurant had misled me on its ability to meet my parties' allergy or preference or other requirements. I once stalked out of the Julien Room in Boston after a host phone conversation had assured me of a wide range of vegetarian options but the chef refused to offer anything but steamed vegetables.
I've also walked upon getting an ominous feeling about the service in a place, e.g., it's a dinner that looks to cost me $350 for two and I get no greeting at the door, no offer to take our coats, no menus or water forthcoming for a long time after we're seated, no drink order soliciation, no visit at all for a long time, especially in a not-busy dining room, etc. If their performance 10-15 minutes in is that amateurish, and I haven't yet ordered anything, I will say, "Nope, not going to do this." Above a certain price level, they have to hit their marks right out of the gate, no flunking the ABCs. It's not really hard to tell when a place doesn't have its act together on this score, and I don't think anyone should have to pay luxury prices for less-than-sterling service.
re: MC Slim JB
I've watched a family do it - I don't think they realized it was a fondue restaurant (in a ski town) and the kids just weren't going to be able to handle it. I think the owners were relieved..
re: Chris VR
I confess
I've gotten up and left after being seated
AND I've looked at the menu beforehand
AND there hasn't really been anything wrong with the place
Sometimes after I'm seated, nothing on the menu really strikes me, the atmosphere is 'off' or just not within my mood, or there are indications that all will not be right. I leave before I order and tip a bit of course.
I confess - but I'm not sure which horror I've committed.
re: alwayscooking
all things considered, if the place is busy, they shouldn't mind someone leaving after being seated. It's more real estate to sell. Otherwise, they should find out why people may be leaving that table (ie it smells of rotten things). If I can't be re-seated within a reasonable amount of time...Plan B.
The only times I've left after seating and being given a menu have been when the service was so off that it was clear that the service would continue to be off, regardless of the menu. It's not worth my time to sit and wait, and wait, and wait...at that point, Wendy's nuggets sound extremely satisfying and good for a laugh if one is dressed to the nines. Ditto dive bars, diners, and hole-in-the wall places.
re: goodhealthgourmet
This is not completely absurd depending on the size of the steak and whether the requested temperatures are at least "next to each other." Bern's Steakhouse in Tampa says on the menu that they can generally accomodate two adjacent temperatures on one larger steak, and will "generally" cut a large steak if one diner, for instance, wants medium rare and the other well-done. But this is a place that encourages diners to split one larger steak instead of making multiple individual steaks and likely does a good bit of the butchery to order.
(go to page 11 of the pdf).
re: Frodnesor
An 18-page menu. Wow.
But I do love the temperature/color chart on Page 10 - a 3+" steak, cooked well-done, is described as:
Very Thick
Dark Crust. No Color.
No Juice. Dried Out.
70-90 Minutes
LOL! Although why anyone would order a 3" thick steak is beyond me. But the description is dead-on!
re: LindaWhit
As Frodnesor indicates, Bern's does a great job of satisfying different preferences of cookedness from the same chunk of meat. The tapered tornedo from the tenderloin is arguably the most tender portion, but is first to reach medium or well done, ( a misdemeanor crime in my eyes). I'll happily settle for rare center slices from a chateaubriand.
re: LPhila
Always a well executed and nicely aged steak, a strangely funky environ, and antique waiters - but the kitchen and cellar tours are da bomb.
re: LindaWhit
I think that one is not recommended too. They tend to list that on the menu in case you could possibly think that this could be a good choice. Why, I have no clue.
re: Frodnesor
Berns has a staff of meat cutters. This is one of a small handfull of restaurants where the double temp would be ok.........
Just as long as my half is MR! :)
The one that jfood also disagrees with is the no Bar Menu items at the table.
That sort of depends. Now jfood could understand the chef not wanting buffalo wings in the dining room, but some items on the bar menu do translate into a dining room expereince. And does the converse hold true. If jfood sat at the bar and wanted the $35 fish special, is the chef going to turn that down?
re: jfood
We do this often particularly with stuff for our kids, because the bar menu is often simpler foods, and have never noticed anyone even quietly grumble about it. Plus, it's good training for the kids so they're ready to hang out in bars when they're old enough.
re: Frodnesor
re: jfood
As a rule no, you can always get the more expensive item. But I have experienced chefs who carry the "No Bar Food" to an extreem. I was at a casual bistro with my school age children, at about six. This is a struggling place, not at all full. The chef would NOT make the burgers on the bar menu ofr the kids. The place HAD a kids menu, but the burgers weren't on it! The place has of course closed. Quelle suprise.
"Don't abuse good food. High-quality steaks, burgers, and fish suffer when they're cooked until well done. Chefs will do it for you, but it hurts them inside."
You also get the worst possible cut. All my chef friends say the well done filet order gets the ill-shaped, dry end. I guess at well done it makes no difference anyways though...
re: LPhila
I don't think this comment can apply to all chefs, because I've had to order meat well done for my SO just so that it arrives medium - and this happened several times! I get the feeling they just want to sear up the outside and then it comes totally bloody inside if you order anything less of well done, yuck!
re: BamiaWruz
I often have the opposite problem. I find that in a lot of places that I have to ask for "rare" in order to receive "medium rare". I get really annoyed if I ever get anything that's medium or beyond.
re: jgg13
Same here. I used to order rare, just to make sure I got MR. Of course, then you end up with a rare steak at places where they actually do know how to cook. So I got started eating and loving rare. Still get MR when ordering rare at some places and dont usually complain (depends on my perception of the skill level of the kitchen...some places, I just eat it and say, serves you right for thinking this kitchen would know how to cook a steak).
re: jgg13
I'm with you. After having so many overcooked steaks and burgers (rare to medium rare), I've tried asking the server what is considered medium, and that seems to help 90% of the time. But as with spicy, it's relative (ie Indian-Spicy in Princeton is barely American-spicy, wheras medium 5 miles away is perfect, and I can't imagine what Indian Spicy would be there!)
re: Caralien
Yeah, I also hate the "how spicy do you want it?" kind of questions, unless I'm pretty familiar w/ a place. Even then it can be a pain depending on the exact people involved.
I used to frequent a chinese lunch truck, and they'd always ask "how spicy you want, 1 to 10?", I'd always ask for 10 which ranged from hardly anything to blow my head off and tracked pretty consistently on the person in the truck. Unfortunately, that truck wasn't rigged to go to 11 it seemed so for the lower end guys that was all I could do.
re: LPhila
"All my chef friends say the well done filet order gets the ill-shaped, dry end"
More often than not that is absolutely correct. Especially if the cook can butterfly the steak with the guests permission before killing it the second time. A well done fillet not butterflied takes all a loooooong time to cook.
re: Fritter
Bamia - I stand corrected based on your comment :) I do have some favorite haunts where MR or M gets you seared extra-rare, so ya gotta know your chefs I guess!
Fritter - My line when I waited tables for the WD ordered steak would be "And the chef serves that butterflied to ensure that it's cooked all the way through." I was never questioned or turned down.
...Just for fun, I don't mean to disparage anyone who likes or needs to order meats well-done :)
re: ordering off the menu stuff
It really depends. Once in a while, one comes across a really talented chef with serious experience behind them. In those cases, it's not unusual for chowhounds to do some in-depth research about the cuisine the chef specialises in, and find out the signature dishes that chef may have cooked/learned at previous restaurants. Once that's established, it becomes straightforward to ask if the chef is able/willing to go above and beyond what's on his/her menu to tap into the full extent of their expertise. If the answer is yes, then arrangements for special dishes can be made in advance.
re: limster
My biggest peeve is when a restaurant famous for a particular dish refuses to make it on the occasions when it is off the menu for one reason or another, and the ingredients are clearly in the pantry.
re: condiment
It may depend on the dish in question; some dishes can take days to make.
re: limster
I'm not. One of the examples I had in mind was spaghetti carbonara, actually, which a restaurant like the one I had in mind, which has excellent housemade guanciale, can prepare in minutes. I wouldn't expect a restaurant to keep cassoulet around in summer just in case one person a week felt like ordering it.
re: limster
If you know a place well and it's not busy, you can get better food that way. My FIL rarely orders off the menu in a Chinese restaurant. He talks to the chef/cook and they agree on dishes. I've also known people who've brought their own lobsters to a Chinese restaurant and had it cooked. It's not something you'd do at the Inn at Little Washington but in some places, perfectly acceptable. I don't, though.
re: chowser
In Miami I've seen someone at Nobu bring in their own catch of yellowtail (in a cooler) for the kitchen to cook. They did so happily. This clearly falls into the "check ahead if it's OK" category.
re: Frodnesor
Definitely. I can't imagine bringing in my own food and just expecting them to cook it for me. For most run of the mill restaurants, I think some of the people cooking like to be given the chance to do something different, given that they have time.
RE: off the menu
We were craving fish tacos from Nick's, but are now across the country. At a local place which does have fish made in a plethora of methods, as well as tortillas, we asked for fish tacos. We wouldn't have done this if the restaurant didn't have a fryer (or one which cooked seafood) or tortillas. And it worked.
Seriously, if you know the menu and have a good idea of how things are from the menu, you can ask for special requests, even off the cuff. I have allergies (real) and my husband is my taster, plus I have benadryl in my pocket if there's a concern. In my experience, calling ahead works well, as does questioning the server who may have to head to the kitchen to double-check, but that's part of the 20%+ tip. If the chef has too many issues and isn't creative enough on the fly, I'd rather be asked to leave (which has never happened). Going on off nights when the place is less busy helps too, but I'm past the age of needing to be at place X during Friday or Saturday nights, and brunch is the worst time for anything, particularly on holidays.
And yes, I've worked in fine dining, and respected restaurants even before those years.
ok, they posted the comparative "25 Things Diners Hate About Restaurants" today...
most of them sound pretty reasonable to me.

Anonymous asked: i'm not sure if i agree with you about the power imbalance thing. snow white was the directors first movie. he was directing commercials before this. kstew at that point had already been acting pretty much her whole life, and was involved in a huge franchise. lets be real she clearly had more power than him. both are equally to blame imo. he's still a bigger asshole though because he's way older and is married and has 2 kids.
I don't mean star power, I mean the fact he's twice her age with twice as much life experience as a result, plus he was already tied down for a decade and a half with a woman with kids. Between the two, he's the one that has the most common sense to say, "we both have a lot to lose, this is ridiculous. Here is a gorgeous, passionate, young girl but I'm not going to milk that for my own gain." Even despite the fact Kristen has more prowess on her resume, the man is still her boss, hence the towering presence he has over here. Kristen is still an impressionable young kid who blatantly is not comfortable in her body and personality just yet. She's moldable, and older men often take advantage of that when someone younger shows interest.
Anonymous asked: i know you like her so just wondering, what do you think of all this kstew drama?
I feel insanely bad for all parties involved to the point where it's difficult to express, lmao. I'm very invested. I have to say that while Liberty and Rob are 100% the victims in all of this, I feel a lot of sadness for what Kristen and Director Dude have to go through as well. Yeah, they were deceitful, and that's terrible, but I feel like monogamy isn't for everyone and when you're already trapped within those confines for years on end, trying to make a clean break is difficult and anxiety inducing. I'm not excusing what they did, but still. I think it's important to keep in mind that Kristen is very much a kid and has been in serious relationships since she was 15 years old, and the person she cheated with is her vastly older boss. There's a power imbalance there that's important to take note. At the end of the day, Director Dude is the one with years worth of foresight and a longstanding marriage to know what the "right" decision to make is. I hope Liberty and Rob are able to be in loving, trusting relationships after this. I hope Kristen doesn't demonize herself too much. Shitty situation all around.
