Gettysburg College is committed to sustaining a living
and learning community where all members of the
community are respected and differences among us are celebrated. Hate
and bias-related incidents are inconsistent
with the mission, values and goals of Gettysburg College. In addition,
they are hurtful to individuals and groups of
individuals in our community. In its commitment to providing an
environment conducive to learning, Gettysburg
College condemns acts of hate and bigotry and will work with members of
the community to address any such
Gettysburg College defines "Bias Related Conduct" to include hate crimes, harassment and bias incidents. The definitions of each are outlined below, as is a description of the response by Gettysburg College to a report of any Bias Related Conduct. In addition to investigating any such report to determine whether there has been a violation of College policy and working with the police to determine if a crime has occurred, the College will offer appropriate support, outreach and education to any College community member impacted by a hate crime, harassment or a bias incident. This will include, but is certainly not limited to, access to Counseling Services, residential accommodations, and facilitated community discussions when appropriate.
A hate crime* is any crime of violence, property
damage or threat that in whole, or in part, is motivated by the
offender's bias toward the victim's race, religion, ethnicity,
national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, age,
or disability.
Hate crimes are defined at both the federal and state level. In order to determine if a hate crime has occurred, reported incidents must be investigated by the police to first determine if a crime has occurred. The investigation must also determine if the crime was motivated by hate, as outlined in the federal guidelines. Federal hate crimes are investigated by the FBI. For more information on federal hate crimes, please see the FBI's website. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania also has hate crime statutes. Hate crimes are also violations of College policy.
A federal law, the Clery Act, provides that timely notice of certain crimes reported to campus security or local police must be provided to the Campus Community.
The College's adjudication of charges may proceed regardless of the status of the criminal justice process.

Confront It" prepared by the Center for the Prevention of Hate

Gettysburg College is committed to treating all members of the
College community in an equitable manner,
providing an environment that permits students to attain their educational goals without interference stemming from harassment. Gettysburg College explicitly prohibits any form of illegal discriminatory harassment by any College community member, organization or group.
Harassment includes physical, verbal, graphic, or written conduct (including harassment via e-mail, instant
messenger, text messaging or other electronic means), that is sufficiently severe, pervasive, or persistent so as to unreasonably interfere with or limit the ability of an individual to participate in or benefit from the programs,
services, activities or privileges provided by the College.
Harassment is discriminatory if the conduct is based on race, religion, ethnicity, national origin, accent, sexual
orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, or disability. It is a violation of the Student Code of Conduct to engage in harassment or to retaliate against anyone bringing a complaint of harassment, formal or
informal, anyone involved in the Complaint process, anyone who pursues legal action, or anyone participating in an investigation into allegations of harassment (including witnesses).
Stalking is also a form of harassment and a violation of the harassment policy. Stalking is defined by Gettysburg
College as the act of pursuing, following or observing an individual in a persistent fashion (including but not limited to, cyber-stalking or an stalking via electronic means) that unreasonably interferes with or limits the ability of that individual to participate in or benefit from the programs, services, activities or privileges provided by the College. Harassment is a violation of College policy and the College will investigate such incidents to determine if someone has violated our policy. Students found responsible are subject to College sanctions. As stated above, harassment has two parts: actions based on actual or perceived race, religion, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, age, or disability AND the actions must substantially interfere with a student's educational or employment opportunities.
For the purposes of this Policy,
a bias incident involves behavior (whether physical
or verbal) that is motivated by bias based on actual
or perceived race, religion, ethnicity, national
origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity,
age, or disability, but that does not rise to the
level of a hate crime or a violation of College
It should be noted that while the expression of an idea or point of view may be offensive or inflammatory to some, it is not necessarily a violation of law or College policy. Gettysburg College values and embraces the ideals of freedom of inquiry, freedom of thought, and freedom of expression, all of which must be vitally sustained in a community of scholars. The College recognizes that these freedoms protect controversial ideas, differing views and sometimes even offensive and hurtful words that are not consistent with the College's mission. However, freedom of inquiry, thought, and expression do not protect personal threats or acts of misconduct that violate criminal law or College policy.
As outlined in the beginning of this document, any reports of a bias incident will be investigated. The College will offer appropriate support, outreach and education to any College community member impacted by a hate crime, harassment or a bias incident.
The Gettysburg College Diversity Commission will receive a regular summary of bias incidents occurring on
campus from the Vice President for College Life and Dean of Students. In addition, these incidents may be shared with the broader community as appropriate.

Gettysburg College encourages prompt reporting of
any Bias Related Conduct so that it can investigate
the alleged facts for possible violation(s) of
College policy, including the Student Code of
Conduct, and refer complaints to law enforcement
authorities in order to determine whether an
independent investigation for violation(s) of
criminal law is warranted.
Gettysburg College community members reporting Bias Related Conduct can expect the following:
• Meet with a college official promptly
• Treat your concern with respect
• Take every case seriously
• Discuss all of your options
• Gather and preserve evidence and information
• Connect you with a faculty member, administrator or staff member to provide support
• Work with the Gettysburg Police to investigate whether or not a crime has occurred
• Initiate the College's student conduct process if it appears that a policy violation may have occurred.
The College's response to Bias Related Conduct (bias incidents, harassment and hate crimes) will be coordinated by the Vice President for College Life and Dean of Students. The Vice President for College Life and Dean of Students may convene a Bias Incident Response Team that will include the following members of the College community:
• Vice
President for College Life and Dean of Students
• Vice Provost
• Director of Counseling
• Dean of Intercultural Advancement
• Director of Residence Life
• Director of Public Safety
• Other members of the community, including students, may be invited as appropriate.

Students should immediately report any Bias Related Conduct (bias incidents, harassment or hate crimes) to Public Safety at (717) 337-6911, or the Vice President for College Life and Dean of Students office at (717) 337-6921.
If you become the victim of a Bias Related Conduct (hate crime,
harassment, or bias incident) - racial or otherwise - or witness any
Bias Related Conduct, please do the following to document the incident
the best you can:
• If you see a written slur or discover graffiti, do not erase the words or images. The Department of Public Safety and the Gettysburg Police will need to see it in order to document and photograph.
• If the incident was verbal, be sure to immediately document what was said, where it was said and when it was said.
• Get names and contact information of any witnesses.

Post subject: Staying on a plane after pumping
I know I keep asking a lot of questions...but you guys have such a wealth of knowledge that it would be a shame not learning ...
Anyways...My question is it possible to stay on a plane after pumping the sail?...and for how long? even if the real wind speed is a bit less than required for planing
I have tried pumping before but never got on a plane and while my board did go faster...it immediately slowed down after i stopped pumping.
Also any good videos/links for how to properly pump a sail and when should a sail be pumped.

Pumping your sail and board to get onto a plane is an easy and very effective skill to learn especially if you sail in light winds with occaisonal puffs that could get you planing.
So if your sailing along an almost planing, look for puffs of slightly stronger wind moving across the water in front of you. As you approach one of these stonger puffs, begin pumping your sail and turn your board so it is pointing just slightly downwind. Keep pumping till you feel the sail actually filling and catching more wind and the board should accelerate and work itself onto a plane. If the puff was small, you'll probably drop off a plane again. But if you can maintain your board speed between the puffs, you stay on a plane. To maintain speed, you might have to keep sailing slighlty off the wind - especially in the lulls - but as the puffs come through and you feel your speed/power increase, start to try and point more upwind to regain ground.
I see so many experienced sailers never try this technique in marginal wind and shlog back and forth when they could be planing if they pumped their sail just a little.

Some things for you to think about:
1. It takes more wind to get planing than to stay planing, which is why it's common to find yourself shlogging while a friend planes by you. For whatever reason they didn't fall off the plane, and they've got enough wind to keep going while you need some extra. This is what pumping is for...getting you over that threshold. But it only works if there's enough wind to keep you planing.
2. The board is being pumped as much if not more than the sail. We're trying to scoot the board up onto a plane.
3. Once you are planing, if conditions are marginal you'll need immaculate technique to stay planing. Sailing slightly off the wind, and your feet might not be in both footstraps. Arms and legs fully extended into a "7" position. Keep your body as still as possible.

everything Michael said.
between steps 2 and 3 (or during step 3), as soon as I get planing I think about "stiffening" my whole body in that 7 position. this helps to get every little "ounce" of power transferred from the sail to the board.
plus, make sure to pull down through the boom and harness to get plenty of MFP to keep the tail from sinking, which will of course cause you to drop off the plane.
sometimes you have to bear off the wind further than you might think. so, I often find it useful to schlog a bit upwind before I commit to trying to get on a plane.

The objective to keep planing is to put all your weight on to the boom and
keep as much weight off the board as possible. I find it easier to
hook in first and get your body out over the water while you pump the sail
with your back hand. Look for a gust, bear off the wind a little and pump while leaning out and lightening your feet and keeping your weight forward. Try to keep the board flat instead of plowing water.
Granted, un-hooked full body pumps are more effective pumps, but trying to hook up quickly after pumping usually puts your weight back on the board when you're just starting to plane, resulting in falling off-plane. Hooking up first puts more of your weight in the sail right away, works for me.

I'm the opposite. If I find the wind is almost enough to plane I will hook in and be lazy and feather the sail (I heard somewhere it isn't a real pump but more of a feather). If that doesn't work but I can see there is enough wind for me to stay on a plane then I unhook and go for the full pump.
But to stay on the plane if it is marginal I tend to lean more forward to get all my weight on the boom..
Oh yeah I find myself doing the full pump more later in the season than in the beginning of the season. Pumping is tiring so pick when you do it...

Me too. Because

I think the "feathering" (which I'm not sure but I believe provides mini pumps to the board) requires much more sensitivity than full-on pumping (which also requires sensitivity.) It's either mini pumping, or/and goosing the laminar flow on the sail.
IMPORTANT WHEN PUMPING: You must use your feet to make sure you've got the board trimmed flat nose-to-tail. You can pump all you want, but if you're heavy in the back foot the board will plow, not scoot. You want to be sliding the board forward from underneath you when you pump.

Ditto what Michael said. Adding to 3), I've found that in those marginal conditions it helps to lengthen your lines a bit to stand the sail up straighter, while keeping your body weight off the board.
Also, I think I can feel what the sail wants to do if I keep my hands closer together near the lines. The sail seems to want to find the best sheeting angle in the lulls - not exactly sure why.

When it comes to pumping, many folks overlook the process of pumping the fin along with the sail. When you think about it, the fin, like the sail, is a power source. So, in borderline planing conditions, it's a good idea to use a bigger fin. It will make it easier to pump-up and overcome your bow wake, and in addition, it will better promote upwind drive once on a plane.

By Tom Didato
Special to The Lancaster News
Editor's note: This story was first printed in the (Camden) Chronicle-Independent and is reprinted here with their permission.
Sometimes she carries her arms in her backpack. But Shannon Wessinger still wears her heart on her sleeve.
Lancaster folks were a bit antsy the last week of October 1940.
All of this war stuff was taking a toll.
James Williams of Route 4 and Henry Flynn of Elm Street were among the first soldiers whose draft numbers were drawn from a fish bowl in Washington, D.C., that week.
It had been a tough week. Friday night's weather had messed up the football game between Lancaster and Fort Mill.
The game ended in a 7-7 tie. Some didn't go 'cause of the rain and the ones who went were mad about the outcome.
First Presbyterian Church, 700 N. Main St., will present is annual Kirkin' o' the Tartan service at 11 a.m. Nov. 4.
The ancient tartan ceremonies started in the 1700s as way for Scottish clans to rededicate their families to God.
The service had its beginnings in the United States during World War II, when the late Dr. Peter Marshall preached a series of sermons to raise funds to aid Scottish churches. Dr. Marshall's sermons were popular. When asked to entitle his May 2, 1943, message, Marshall suggested the tartans name.
Eula Mae Baker has a thing for dolls. Dolls of all shapes, sizes, and textures line the walls of her home in Lancaster, and she can tell you all about each one of them – no matter how long she's had them. At 88-years-old, she has been building the collection for several decades.
GREAT FALLS – Murder, mystery, intrigue and a good dose of humor is all on tap for the Great Falls Home Town Association's first murder mystery dinner theater. The evening of food, fun and murder will unveil a mystery dinner show that spoofs television chefs, old-time detectives, art lovers and chocoholics!
Habitat for Humanity of Lancaster County
Our new Habitat homeowners, who will soon be moving into their new homes on Penny and Meeting Streets, have just received a very special housewarming gift. Painter and muralist Kim Twitty donated her talents to paint murals for the children's bedrooms at both homes.
Let's Keep Lancaster Warm, sponsored by Hope on the Hill and Development & Construction, LLC, are accepting new or gently used clean coats through Dec. 15. Coats may be donated in the lobbies of Barr Street Gym, Lancaster Fire Department, Lancaster Police Department, Lancaster Sheriff's Office, Porter Belk Lumber, The Lancaster News, Springs Memorial Hospital and The UPS Store.
Please include coat hangers. Drop-offs can also be collected by calling (803) 313-9744.
Sometimes hobbies become a passion that turns into a part of who we are. That's exactly what happened to the late Jim Lasley.
Lasley stumbled into his birdwatching hobby innocently. Trying to answer questions about birds posed by his three (then small) children back in the early 1950s, he found he needed to do some research of his own. Lasley, a well respected mechanical engineer who oversaw the construction of the Grace Plant for Springs Industry, didn't know much about birds but knew just who to contact.
The Lancaster County Department of Social Services honored a volunteer on Thursday who has given more than 20 years of service as a member of the Lancaster County DSS Advisory Board.
Flossie Williams, a retired Lancaster County School District secretary, attended the event with her husband, Eugene. After Lancaster County DSS Director Janice Chapman presented Williams with a plaque commemorating her years of service, the other board members presented her with a variety of gifts.
Organizers of the Vivian Major Robinson concert series have a different kind of musical treat in store for their fall concert.
Until now, the focus has been on classical music in a variety of styles.
But in a departure from tradition, this concert will exclusively feature American music – music written or arranged by Americans.

"It's like a small town right here on this corner," said Andrew Beyea, who has varying job roles at Norma's, located at 59-02 Catalpa Avenue. "In New York, communities tend to sprout up around institutions, and Norma's has become an institution in this neighborhood."
Norma's opened on June 8, 2012, and within nine months has become an oasis to study, do work or chat with friends and sociable strangers.
At any given time, Beyea can be seen conversing with customers, cracking jokes or explaining the contents of the displayed goods.
Norma's is co-owned by Crystal River Williams and Denise Plowman, who met during their time working in the bakery department of a Whole Foods.
Both California natives, Williams and Plowman's experience stems, respectively, from studying pastry arts at the French Culinary Institute and graduating from the California-based Professional Culinary Institute.
Norma's is named after William's grandmother who loved to bake.
"She understood what the priorities in life should be — family, friends and your community — and she didn't feel like she had to pretend to be something or work towards something other than being a good person, mother and grandmother," Williams said.
The hummingbird logo is Plowman's creation, which reflects her love for the bird and which she painted on the windows. She also created three large hummingbird collages that are framed and hanging inside on the yellow walls.
Their small kitchen is another outlet for their creativity as Williams, Plowman, Beyea and part-time baker Katherine Wilhelmi experiment with recipes.
The Mango Bundt Cake ($3) is a three-inch orange-colored cake with a light mango flavor. It's bright red raspberry, blackberry frosting is colored naturally by the berries and has a contrasting burst of flavors.
Williams believes the dessert is exemplary of their philosophy as bakers.
"It's to take something that's really familiar and put something together that isn't completely off the wall, but you might not had before," she said.
The Garden Cake ($3) has carrots, zucchini, and beets has a sweet carrot cake-tasting flavor topped with pecans on top adding a nutty kick.
The Banana Blast ($1.75) is a vegan and wheat-free cupcake created by Williams and her father to cater to the vegan diets of her small sons, Roque and Angel.
Made with double chocolate that overpowers the banana flavor, the Banana Blast was coined by Angel himself.
They also have a selection of savory goods that include a rotating menu of paninis ($5.50) and soups ($4.50), quiches ($3.50), four flavors of biscuits ($1.50) and more.
Their ham and bacon comes from Morscher's Pork Store, located at 58-44 Catalpa Avenue, and their single-origin Brazilian coffee comes from the Brooklyn coffee-roasting company, Kitten Coffee.
Norma's supports local entrepreneurs by using their space to display and help sell the work of Ridgewood artists.
This includes jewelry from Stock Frock And Barrel, handbags from Iris Sophie Designs, greeting cards from Amy Gallop Designs and The Gilbert William's Gallery (Williams's visionary artist father), paintings by Sara Schraeter and books from poet Luke Armstrong Maguire.
"We're part of the community," said Plowman. "We're not just here to take your money and give you your coffee. We want to support our customers and be involved with them."
So far, customers seem pleased with all aspects of Norma's.
"Even though sometimes some of their stuff might even cost a buck more, it's like a 1,000 times better," said Dave Frye, comparing Norma's to other neighborhood bakeries. He noted the real frosting of the cupcakes, his favorite, and the high quality of the goods.
"It's kind of a hot spot in the neighborhood," said Louis Doulas, a freelance writer and designer who loves the Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake and endearingly calls Norma's his office. "It's got a very cozy, warm and nurturing ambiance."
Kim Look, whose usual includes the Garden Cake and a tea, appreciates Norma's affordability and tailored service.
"They pay attention to the details, like asking you if you want room for milk or explaining what the pastries are," she said.
Consensus is that they all notice and appreciate how community-driven Norma's has become.
"Generally, most people are not looking to start a conversation, but here at Norma's a lot of the people talk about anything and everything," said Look. "It's kind of cool that you get that diversity of people coming in."
"We see a lot of the same people over and over again and we know a lot about them and about their lives," said Williams. "And I think that's what makes us so emotionally attached to being here."

An Election Day in the Life of Candidate Martin Heinrich
Keep an eye out for CD1 candidate Martin Heinrich (who the Alibi endorsed) on the streets today—he or one of his volunteers might hand you a sopaipilla. In what may be one of the most brilliant marketing strategies in a political campaign to date, Heinrich's folks rented three sopaipilla trucks and are making the rounds, offering a cup of joe to boot.
I spoke with Heinrich about an hour ago and at least one of his pastry ambassadors was on its way to the South Valley. The candidate said the day was off to a good start—more than 500 people arrived in a coordinated kick-off to walk neighborhoods this morning, reminding people to vote (the effort was organized by the Heinrich, Tom Udall and Barack Obama camps). As we've already heard, lines are short today, and Heinrich's campaign has received estimates that more than 50 percent of the vote this season will have come from early and absentee ballots.
So what's Election Day like for a candidate in a highly contested race who's ahead by a few percentage points? Heinrich:
• Hasn't slept for a week (not well, at least)
• Ate a banana for breakfast. Then a bagel at 10 a.m., then a sandwich at 1 p.m. (he said he's surrounded by food these days at various campaign stations). He can't wait to get back to only three meals a day.
• Voted early on Oct. 30, and the line went quickly and smoothly.
• Said his favorite and worst campaign moment are one and the same: his chair falling off the stage and a firefighter catching him before he hit the ground.
• Said if he wins, tomorrow he'll wake up early and start making phone calls and getting organized. If he doesn't, he'll sleep in.
When asked if he's optimistic based on the poll numbers, Heinrich said "cautiously," and "there's only one poll that matters."

There are hundreds of commercially made sex toys for men out there, but if you want to learn how to make male homemade sex toys, you can do so with simple things you find around your home. Forget playing with pastries or cutting a hole in your pillow, spend five minutes and make a reusable sex toy that can bring you hours of pleasure.
To learn how to make male homemade sex toys, you will need:
- two clean, kitchen sponges
- a 16oz plastic cup
- a small plastic baggie
- warm water
- lube
- The first step in learning how to make your male homemade sex toy is to take a plastic cup. Make sure the cup is clean and a little longer than your penis.
- Place the two clean sponges into the cup. You want to make sure that the sponges are a little above the rim of the cup. You don't want to be hitting your pelvis on the plastic rim, that could hurt. The sponges are a substitute for the vaginal walls in this homemade male sex toy.
- Place a bag between the sponges. The opening of the bag should be on the top and the bag should extend to the bottom of the cup. The bag is the vagina in your new homemade sex toy.
- Soak the sponges in warm water. Make sure it is not too hot, you don't want to burn your little man. Also, there should be no dripping when the cup is turned over.
- Finish making your male homemade sex toy by applying plenty of lube in the bag. A water-based lube is perhaps the best choice here. When all is complete, you can go to town with your homemade male sex toy.

The material will then be sold to editors in international news and media companies for immediate broadcast release.
The media companies pay tvype for the rights to the videos. The citizen reporter (uploader) will receive a revenue share of these video prices.
tvype brings both parties together:
The positioning of the portal is twofold, on the one side for citizen reporter and on the other side for media companies. Both aspects need to be integrated into one logo design, although the citizen reporter aspects are the main priority.
Tvype itself will act as a neutral plattform, only to enable a marketplace for citizen reporters and news editors. Tvype is also neutral to the content that is uploaded as it proveds only the plattform.
tvype is:
"professionall, neutral, simple, fast, transparent, trustworthy, international, innovative and based on partnerships (to citizen reporter AND media companies)"
1. main focus: Private persons witnessing news, semi professionals reporters, citizen journalists
Emotional benefit:
Earn money
Gain fame
Clarification and publication of news and facts, that the world must be aware of
2. Media Companies
Emotional benefit:
Very recent and trustworthy footage /news
Quick search and buy
Easy handling
- We want this design to be clean, sophisticated, dynamic, and memorable
- tvype with small letters
- Combined marks (combinations of word and design elements)
- an icon/ picture logo is desired in addition to the name logo
- Hard to read fonts
- Cheesy designs
- NO seperated words/letters (tv_ype), as this would split the perception of the brand into the known word "TV" and the residual "ype", which is not the goal.
Questions welcome any time!
Good luck!

CRESTVIEW � One of the community's top prize-winning home chefs has fared so well in nationwide competitions that she quit her job to make cooking her main focus.
CRESTVIEW � One of the community's top prize-winning home chefs has fared so well in nationwide competitions that she quit her job to make cooking her main focus.
"I wanted to concentrate on my cooking adventures," Sherri Williams said. "I'm an actual homemaker right now and I enjoy it."
Recently, she defeated hundreds of competitors from across the nation to win "Good Morning America's" Game Day Grub Contest with her Barbecue Pulled Pork Pepper Poppers.
"They are so good and they are so easy," Williams said. "You can make them the day before. Even if you don't eat pork you can use any kind of protein in them. You can use veggie crumbles or veggie cheese and they will still be just as good."
When area residents learned that a Crestview cook was a finalist in the contest, Williams' Facebook page, Cooking With Love and Passion, was swamped with "friend" requests.
"They were excited when they saw someone from Crestview was on 'Good Morning America,'" Williams said. "I've met a lot of friends from my cooking."
They can look forward to Williams' next nationwide appearance later this spring when she appears on the A&E network's World Food Championship, taped a couple months ago in Las Vegas.
Stymied by ice
An ice storm that struck the area closed Northwest Florida Regional Airport and precluded her being in ABC's Times Square TV studios for her moment of triumph.
"I didn't even get to go! It was crazy," Williams said. "I was looking forward to going. And of course, the show was pre-empted here. I got the link later on to see it on Facebook."
After her victory was announced, heralded by a squad of school-age cheerleaders running through the GMA set, Williams appeared on the show via a Skype link from her Crestview kitchen.
Williams joins her "foodie friends" in Cooking Contest Central, an Internet group that follows recipe contest opportunities. In fact, she competed against a friend on the GMA contest.
"We have a lot of the same friends in common," Williams said. "We were up against hundreds of people in the nation but we were against each other too. That was kind of hard."
Williams said she'll keep submitting recipes as cooking contests that tickle her fancy are announced, using Roy, her husband of 32 years, as her chief taste-tester and food critic.
"I'm at that age when I can do what I love to do, and that's cooking and sharing it with everybody else," Williams said.

Photos: NBC throws 'Chicago Fire' premiere party
Driving in fire trucks might be old hat by now for cast members of NBC's "Chicago Fire," but riding to Tuesday's premiere at the Chicago History Museum in engines was still special. "That was great; it won't get any better than that," Chicago actor Christian Stolte said, adding that normally they're "not dressed like this. It's usually bunker gear." NBC invited about 350 former and current local firefighters and their families to the screening and party, which also was attended by Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who makes a cameo in the Oct. 10 premiere of the series from producer Dick Wolf. On behalf of the mayor, Chicago Fire Department Commissioner Jose Santiago presented Wolf with a proclamation thanking the production for focusing on the CFD. The show has been filming at Cinespace Chicago Film Studios on the West Side and various locations around the city for months. Check out the photos from the red carpet and event here. "Chicago Fire" debuts at 9 p.m. Oct. 10 on NBC. Curt Wagner, RedEye's Show Patrol Want more? Discuss this article and others on Show Patrol's Facebook page.

I don't often write a fan letter, but I'd like to congratulate whoever wrote the story in the July 21 issue of TIME on The Music Man. It was brilliantly done from start to finish, and the cover made me roar with laughter. The article was just as great Americana as is the play.

One of the most difficult things for me to deal with as a therapist is the aftermath of sexual trauma. And I know that the trouble I have with this is only a tiny fraction of the difficulty my client has as he or she faces his/her past. I share with you a correspondence I've had with a 36-year-old man from Boston named Trent.
Dr. Dick,
When I was 10 years my parish priest molested me. It went on for over a year. Mostly, I've been able to put this behind me. I've been married over a year to this really great gal. She's been very understanding and supportive, and we love each other very much. A couple of weeks ago when we were having sex, my wife started to massage my bottom. This was the first time someone touched me there since I was 10. At first it felt good, but then I remembered how I felt when I was a kid and freaked out. I started to cry. My poor wife was devastated at the thought of triggering this painful memory. I told her it wasn't her fault, but we haven't had sex since. I'm worried, but I don't know what to do.
Working through a sexual trauma, like the one Trent experienced as a kid, is difficult. But it is essential for regaining a healthy sense of the sexual self. I told Trent—and this applies to any anyone else who has had regrettable early sexual experiences in their past—that I strongly suggested that he and his wife engage a sex-positive therapist to help them get back on track.
Many people have dealt with some kind of sexually related trauma in their lives. However, some trauma is more severe than others. Emotional scar tissue and painful memories may linger, but you can learn to insulate yourself from the disruptive effects of the past in the present. Thanks to the indomitable human spirit, most of us live through our difficulties and go on to develop healthy, integrated sex lives.
Sensate focus is a process that helps individuals move through painful sexual memories and heal the rift between the affected parts of the body and the pleasure they can produce. I thought this technique would be of particular value for Trent because of something he'd said: "At first it felt good, but then I remembered how I felt when I was a kid and freaked out." This tells me that he was able to enjoy the sensations before the association with the molestation kicked in and ruined everything. Sensate focus offers a way to short-circuit this disruptive connection and rewire it for pleasure instead of pain.
What follows are structured therapeutic touching exercises for couples. They are not a prelude to sex. You need to be clear on that. Your genitals will be involved. There will be pleasure and arousal, for sure. But the object of this process is to desensitize the trigger (in Trent's case, his butt), then re-sensitize it for pleasure. These exercises take about an hour one day a week over the course of a month. If you embark on this course, make sure that you dedicate that kind of time commitment. Please, don't short-change yourselves; this is an investment in your sexual health and wellbeing.
You and your partner will take turns being the one touched and the one doing the touching. Both of you will have 30 minutes to touch and 30 minutes to be touched: 15 minutes lying on your front; 15 minutes on your back.
Week 1—Breaking the Ice
Structured touching will be unfamiliar to you at first. I want you to use this first session to connect with each other in a sensual and playful way. I want each of you to explore every inch of your partner's body from head to toe, first the back of the body then the front. This first week, however, avoid one another's genitals.
This isn't massage, where touch is directed toward pleasuring your partner. Sensate focus exercises are about gleaning information. Focus on how it feels to touch different parts of your partner's body in a non-seductive way. Be aware of the different textures contours and temperatures. Use different pressures—heavy and light; different strokes—long and short. Use fingertips, palms, the back of your hands and forearms.
When you've finished the first 30 minutes, swap places. This will work best if the one being touched relinquishes control as much as possible. Keep verbal communication at a minimum. Once the hour is over, thank one another for the experience and get on with the rest of your day. Don't try to process things right then and there, just sit with the sensations. Or better still; write your feelings in a journal that you might want to share later.
Week 2—Making Things More Interesting
Building on what you learned in the first week; this time, kick it up a notch by expanding the structured touching to include anal and genital areas. These are sexually charged zones, but the touch must remain non-seductive. Begin the exercise with some full-body touching before moving on to the new areas. Again, the emphasis is on obtaining information and awareness of physical sensations.
This is where things got a bit challenging for Trent. When his wife touched his butt, I told him I wanted him to want stay in the moment and focus on who was touching him and why. Trent's wife was not touching him in a sexual manner; she was gathering information.
Staying in the present helps take the edge off. If anxiety builds, deep breathing can help you to relax. Your partner will probably be very nervous too, so breathing together can be helpful.
A guided touch technique can also be useful. Place one of your hands on top of your partner's and guide it over your trigger area. Try using more or less pressure as you see fit. Remember your trigger spot is just like every other part of your body. Even though an early trauma has sensitized this area to be off bounds, sensate focus exercises will re-sensitize and reintegrate it with the rest of your body. You'll have to trust me on this.
Week 3—Mutual Touching
This week, we move on to mutual touching. However, it must remain structured and non-seductive, both in the giving and receiving. Mutual touch will provide a more natural form of physical interaction than the previous weeks. You'll also be shifting attention from how it feels to touch to being aware of how your partner is receiving your touch. Keep verbal communication to a minimum. Let your body tell your partner how you are enjoying the touch. If you must talk, assign a number code to the touch you are receiving: 5 being, ho-hum, 1 being Yowsa!
Remember, no matter how sexually aroused you become, this is not a prelude to sex. If you need to release your sexual tension, feel free to masturbate afterward. No partnered sex during the exercises. Okay?
Week 4—Bringin' It Home
This last week of exercises continues the mutual touching, with a focus on overcoming any final reservations you have about your trigger zone and the pleasure you derive from it. More of your partner's touch should focus on that area. For Trent, I advised that his wife include a nice lotion or personal lube for this investigation. (Touching with a wet hand is different from touching with a dry hand.) While concentrating on his butt with one hand, I suggested she fondle his genitals with the other. By playing with the energy around Trent's sphincter, his wife was able to redirect it and help him reconnect his ass to the rest of his body.
Try receiving your wire's touch in different positions. Being proactive will facilitate the healing. While she is touching your trigger area, move your butt toward her to meet the caress. You'll immediately see how being in control will help you move beyond any remaining anxiety. You are not just being passive recipient anymore; you are actively involved with inviting the pleasure. If there are still reservations, take it slow until they too, melt away.
Once he'd freed up his ass for pleasure, I told Trent be sure to incorporate butt play into his future lovemaking repertoire, but I also reminded him to take as much time as he needed to resolve the issue. There is no quick fix. I assured him, though, with diligence and care, sensate focus would remove the fear and shame of the molestation, and replace it with a sense of wholeness, joy and pleasure.
Good luck

By Alan Grosbach, Manager of Communications & Sports Information
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Janelle Redhead of Wayland Baptist (Texas) has been named the NAIA National Women's Indoor Track Athlete of the Week and Milika Tuivanuavou of Fresno Pacific (Calif.) has been tabbed as the NAIA National Women's Indoor Field Athlete of the Week, the national office announced on Wednesday. Redhead and Tuivanuavou were selected based on their performances from Jan. 30 – Feb. 5.
In her second competition of the season, Redhead, a junior from Toronto, Ontario, beat out NJCAA South Plains (Texas) runners Sparkle McKnight and Janeil Bellille with a season-best time of 54.09 to take her first title of the season in the women's 400-meter dash at the Texas Tech Indoor Open on Feb. 4. The result bettered her previous best of 54.76 set on Jan. 13 at Texas Tech. Her time, which converts to 54.60 on the NAIA qualifying list, is now the nation's best mark on the year.
Tuivanuavou, a senior from Suva, Fiji, put together a rare combination, claiming individual titles in the women's triple jump and shot put over the weekend at the Westmont Sunshine Open on Feb. 4. Her triple jump mark of 38-0 ¼ (11.59m) bettered teammate and second-place finisher Rachel Eng's leap by more than three feet. Tuivanuavou's performance ranks second in the NAIA, trailing only Tamala Daley of Shorter (Ga.), who posted a mark of 38-8 ¾ at the Birmingham Ice Breaker Multi's and Invitational on Dec. 7. In the shot put, Tuivanuavou recorded a throw of 41-1 (13.74m) en route to her first shot put championship since the NAIA Indoor Championships last season. She currently ranks third behind Kayla Xavier of Concordia (Ore.) and Mandy Streu of St. Ambrose (Iowa) in the event.

Best Kids Parties: A Monster Bash
Name: Seiya (2)
Location: San Jose, CA
I picked the monster theme because we love monsters, and because he can be a little monster sometimes.
It made for a colorful and fun theme, and I enjoyed making all the details for the party: The monster invites, monster-printed napkins, the garlands of two's and pompoms, the monster boxes for the utensils, the wooden picture boards, the monster painting, one-eyed jello monsters, octodogs, googly-eyed monster cups, fruit kebobs. The party wouldn't have been such a hit without the wonderful vendors who helped monster-it-up!
A big thank you to: Jen's Cakes for the super awesome monster cake and cupcakes, Gienie Etsy shop for knitting all the adorable chunk monsters for favors, Hey Yo Yo Etsy shop for the straws, Greenfish Catering for the yummy sushi platter, Uncle Ross & Auntie Kate for helping me cut the holes in the boards, my little sister Zoe for taking pictures ALL the time for us, my brother in law for putting all my ideas onto the computer (what would I do without you), my hubby for cutting things in the middle of the night and helping me finish all my little projects & ofcourse the friends and family for making it so much fun!
Thanks Michelle! Readers, visit Michelle at Pitter Patter.

As soon as my office was contacted about an absurd regulation from the Environmental Protection Agency restricting the use of surplus military vehicles for our rural fire departments, I immediately requested the regulation be reversed.
The Kansas Delegation sent a joint letter to the administrator of the EPA and the Defense Logistics Agency, urging them to reinstate the program that allows our rural fire departments to obtain excess military vehicles.
This week, I was pleased to hear that an agreement was reached and that our rural fire departments will again have the resources they need to save lives and protect their communities.
Legislation to help America invest and create jobs
Last week, the House of Representatives passed bipartisan legislation that will help America invest and create jobs by making permanent a tax provision to allow companies to deduct half the cost of new business investments.
Estimates show that making this permanent could grow the economy by 1 percent, inject $182 billion into the economy, and create 212,000 American jobs.
Not only will this legislation create jobs and higher wages, it is important to our Kansas farmers, ranchers, and manufacturers. As an original co-sponsor of the legislation, this bill moves our tax code in the right direction and encourages investment in the types of capital goods that create jobs and put more money in peoples' pockets.
The roadblock
There is no doubt folks continue to struggle in this economy that President Barack Obama has created — just look at the headlines. But, with my support, the House of Representatives continues to pass bill after bill after bill to address the issues, and the Senate blocks them.
A recent headline from the Holiday weekend, "Fourth of July gas prices highest since 2008." Yet, when the House passed the North American Energy Infrastructure Act it was blocked by the Senate. The House also passed the Lowering Gasoline Prices to Fuel an America That Works Act. Blocked by the Senate.
Another headline: "The U.S. Economy Shrinks by Most in 5 Years." Yet, the House has passed the Northern Route Approval Act, the America Small Business Tax Relief Act, and the Stop Government Abuse Act. All three, blocked by the Senate.
Another headline: "40% of unemployed workers are millennials." The House passed Save American Workers Act and the Innovation Act. Both blocked by the Senate.
We have been consistently focused on creating jobs and building a healthy economy here in the House, passing nearly 300 bills that have been blocked by the Senate. Clearly there is a roadblock in Washington, D.C., and that roadblock is Harry Reid.
Closing the skills gap and connecting Americans to jobs
Last week, the House passed H.R 803, the Workforce Investment and Opportunity Act — previously known as the SKILLS Act — to improve our nation's workforce development system and get Americans back to work.
This bipartisan jobs bill will help millions of Americans acquire the training and job skills they need to take on good paying jobs. I am pleased the Senate joined our efforts, and acted on this legislation that will give a boost to the record levels of long-term unemployed and underemployed, who have lost hope and are struggling in this Obama economy.
The House has passed dozens of jobs bills just like the Workforce Investment and Opportunity Act and it is my hope the Senate will join us and keep the momentum going.
Congresswoman: Ensuring our rural fire departments have needed resources
As soon as my office was contacted about an absurd regulation from the Environmental Protection Agency restricting the use of surplus military vehicles for our rural fire departments, I immediately requested the regulation be reversed.

August 5, 2011
I spoke with Gabe this afternoon, and he just returned from the 2012 Victory motorcycle launch in Park City, Utah. He will be reporting on his riding impressions and changes to the line-up early next week, but he informed me of a conversation with the manager of both Victory and Indian Motorcycles (both owned by parent company Polaris) regarding the future plans for Indian Motorcycles, which was recently acquired by Polaris.
Gabe was advised that Polaris intends to position Indian Motorcycles as a premium brand above Victory Motorcycles. Polaris will begin by improving the existing Indian machines (one of which is pictured), followed by the introduction of newly developed premium Indian motorcycles. Manufacturing of the Indian bikes will be transferred to the Spirit Lake facility where Victory motorcycles are currently assembled.

It's back to the shop for our final episode on how to create a staved vessel. Bob Fulton sends Tim on his way to finish up the project they started. Now it's time to turn! Watch as Tim demonstrates the turning techniques needed to complete this unique and complicated project.
Relief Turning
Tim transforms a block of spalted sycamore into a unique paperweight. This project is nearly impossible to describe, you'll have to see it to believe it. Then Tim visits the studio of professional photographer and wood turner Bob Hawks, where Bob will show you how to photograph your turnings.

Thompson Square Singer Shawna Thompson's Father Dies
Thompson Square singer Shawna Thompson's father died on Thursday afternoon (Feb. 23), according to a sad statement on the duo's website. "It is with extremely heavy hearts to inform you all that Shawna's father George Michael 'Mickey' Mcilwain passed away yesterday," the post reads.
Earlier in the day, the duo announced they were canceling this weekend's performances with Lady Antebellum, as well as Friday night's New Faces Performance at Country Radio Seminar in Nashville. "Shawna Thompson's father has been quite ill for a few months and she needs to be by his side at this time," a publicist reported.
Fans, friends and family members have been offering condolences at Shawna Thompson's personal Facebook page and the duo's Facebook page since early yesterday afternoon. "So sorry to hear about Mr. Mickey," one supporter writes. "We know now there is no pain or suffering. He is getting to sing with the angels in heaven today. Our prayers and thoughts are with the family."
David Nail will be filling in for Thompson Square during this weekend's shows in Auburn Hills, Mich. and Evansville, Ind. Their next scheduled show is on March 2 in New Orleans, La. A closing request on the duo's site reads, "Please be thinking about and say a prayer for Shawna, Keifer and their family in this difficult and sad time."

As we learned this week, the 2013 trash can Mac Pro is going to... Well... The trash can. Apple has promised a new "modular" Mac Pro for sometime after 2017.
In the light of this news, I thought it would be interesting to look back a model, to the "cheese grater" Mac Pros Apple sold from 2006 until 2013.
The cheesegrater is a truly iconic Mac. I love it.
On a related note, here's some interesting tidbits and nuggets I've picked up regarding the new Mac Pro from people and sources who know their stuff. The Mac Pro was in limbo inside Apple. The decision to go ahead and develop a modular Mac Pro replacement seems to have been made only in recent months, with development starting only a few weeks ago, which makes it clear why Apple said it won't ship this year. I have no idea how long it takes to develop a new computer like a Mac Pro, but I think we can expect the new Mac Pro late 2018 at the earliest, but most likely it won't be until early 2019 before it ships.
What made Apple do a 180? Well, after the announcement of the new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, orders for refurbished "old" MacBook Pros supposedly went through the roof, and after the initial batch of reviews came out, they shot up even higher. This response to the new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar took Apple completely by surprise. Combined with the problems surrounding the LG UltraFine 5K display and the constant negativity from professional Apple users, the company decided to double down on professional users.
As Apple announced, we'll be getting a new Mac Pro and an iMac Pro as a result. In addition, Apple is said to be exploring additional Retina MacBook Pro models without the Touch Bar, and other pro-oriented features, such as hooking an iPad Pro up to a Mac to use it as a Cintiq-like device.
All in all, there is definitely excitement in the air regarding professional Mac use, and to be honest - that's been a while. Personally, I'm still very cautious, because in the end, all we got yesterday was a more official version of Tim Cook's endless "we've got great stuff in the pipeline, trust us!" meme that's been going on for a few years now.
Until we get it - and that may still be 2 years away - the new Mac Pro is vapourware.

Hey Nuno
You've picked a good operation at Camel. I've been to Sharm quite a few times and never had any problems with food but then again I'm not that partial to a salad so maybe that's it!
Camel have good food options, Pomodoro restaurant, the tandoori, the roof bar are all great for food and Vanilla for an ice-cream after diving is highly recommended. I'm wouldn't bother with any medicine. There are plenty of cash machines near the Camel Hotel.
They are very friendly bunch at Camel, enjoy your diving!

Lot # 220 (of 1727) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1910 D380 Clement Bros. Bread Major Leaguer Collection (4)
Starting Bid - $2,500, Sold For - $4,113
Collection of four D380 Clement Bros. Bread cards of Major Leaguers, each graded by SGC: Mullin (newly discovered, GOOD 30), Stanage (VG 40), Summers (GOOD 30), and Sweeney (newly discovered, POOR 10). In 1910 Clement Brothers added a selection of Major Leaguers as well as Rochester players to its card set. The Major Leaguers feature black-and-white renditions of card designs borrowed from the E90-1 American Caramel series, making these perhaps the most unusual and distinctive of all D380 Clement Bros. Bread cards. While all Clement Brothers cards are exceedingly rare, these four cards are among the most important from the extraordinary find of thirty-six D380 Clement Brothers Bread cards which were presented in the REA 2008 auction. These four cards, along with the Addie Joss portrait offered as a separate lot, really jumped out at us as particularly distinctive and rare. In fact, when we were first presented with these cards, which were saved for decades by the Rochester family of the original owner, we were fairly certain that we had never before even seen any of these Major Leaguers and immediately checked the Standard Catalog checklist to see if they were known. We found that only two of the Major Leaguers in the collection were previously unknown and uncheckisted (and one Rochester player as well). Included in this group are the two newly discovered Major Leaguer examples (Mullin and Sweeney). The Standard Catalog checklist for this incredibly rare set is obviously incomplete and continues to be a work in progress. In light of the fact that Clement Brothers Bread cards are so incredibly rare, and the fact that the thirty-six cards from this find alone represent more D380 Clement Brothers cards than we had seen in total during the previous thirty-five years, we were actually a little puzzled as to why just three Clement Brothers Bread cards from the find were new checklist additions. Where were all these checklisted cards that we have never seen? How come we never see them? If these cards were in collections, we would think that at some time, over the years, we would at least become aware of them. A Clement Brothers Bread card of Addie Joss or any of the Major Leaguers in this lot, in particular, would be very memorable. Yet this was the first time we've seen any of these particular cards. Giving thought to this very unusual circumstance, we came up with a reasonable theory: Jefferson Burdick, author of The American Card Catalog and widely recognized as "The Father of Modern Card Collecting," lived just a few hours from Rochester. His incredible collection is now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. After a little checking, we found that Burdick did, indeed, have a very substantial collection of Clement Brothers Bread cards: twenty-one different cards in all, out of a total of thirty different known to date. When you're Jefferson Burdick, the father of card collecting, and you live close to Rochester, New York, well, you naturally have an "inside track" on collecting Clement Brothers Bread cards. Our theory is that the cards in Burdick's collection long ago served as the foundation for the D380 Clement Brothers checklist, explaining why many Clement Brothers Bread cards that we have never before seen at auction or in collections are already checklisted. (Note: This lot of four cards was sold in April 2008 at REA, where it appeared as Lot 326 and realized $8,225; it has been consigned to this auction directly from the original purchaser at that auction.) Total 4 cards. Reserve $2,500. Estimate (open). SOLD FOR $4,113

The Blues face Southampton in the third round of the FA Cup on Saturday on the back of a 1-0 loss to their west London rivals that has left them trailing leaders Manchester United by 14 points.
The four-match winning run that had silenced disapproval from Chelsea fans, dismayed by Benitez's appointment as interim manager, is also over. "I haven't been worried about the league table, I've just talked about one game at a time and now it's the same situation," the Spaniard said.
He added: "If you can't win your games it will be more difficult but the priority is to think about the next game and give the players the confidence that we had before. We will analyse what went wrong and try to carry on with the things that we were doing really well.
"We have to do everything almost perfectly now if we want to reduce the gap. When you lose a game it's more difficult, but I can't be thinking about how many points we need."
Chelsea hope to complete the signing of Newcastle striker Demba Ba in time for the trip to St Mary's with Benitez stressing the importance of giving Fernando Torres a break.
"Fernando is one of the players who needs to rest. Two or three players have been playing too many games in the last weeks and months," he said.
"Managing that was going well but against QPR it didn't work. Some of the players couldn't get to the level we were expecting.
"Without talking about names, if you have another striker you can play with two strikers if you need to.
"Or if you want to rest a striker then you can do that and at the moment we are a bit short."

It shows my curves without being overly tight (5'4" and 100lbs.), and it will spectacular with a beautiful necklace of various types and sexy high heels. The strap shoulder area that falls off the top side of my shoulders is just a little long so I'll have both sides taken up a little to form fit my breast and shoulder area. when this is done, the dress will be gracious and sexy. Will wear my hair up and dress up jewelry and maybe silver high heels. It's definitely worth the buy and is the perfect, sexy black dress.

Wished bebe would shorten them up a little. Great purchase for money. Fabric is not a heavy type.

In ETSU's first game they ran into a team they were familiar with, as they downed Florida A&M, 7-4, at the Wilson Invitational last month. The Bucs (4-9) won the first game by scoring three runs in the ninth inning, and this time the Lady Rattlers got revenge as they tagged Darci Gilbert (
Florida A&M (2-15) attacked first as they roughed up sophomore starter Mary Catherine Vercoe (Signal Mountain, Tenn.), scoring four runs on five hits through three-plus innings. After scoring one run in the third, the Lady Rattlers forced Vercoe to make an early exit as they began the fourth with back-to-back doubles and then Alacia Strafford dealt the Bucs a big blow as she knocked a two-run home run to right field, putting Florida A&M up 4-0.
The ETSU bats finally woke up in the sixth as they finally had an answer for Alicia Mitchell by scoring four runs on four hits off the Lady Rattlers starter. The Bucs took advantage of all the mistakes Florida A&M threw at them as they committed three errors in the inning, leading all the runs being unearned. Stephanie Gaynord (
Gilbert worked out of a jam in the seventh when she got Brittany Newby to ground out to Gaynord with runners on second and third. The Bucs had the game-winning run on second in the bottom half of the inning, but they could not get the run across the plate. Florida A&M then made ETSU pay in the eighth, when Turel Farmer smashed a three-run home run off Gilbert, putting the Lady Rattlers up 7-4. The Bucs would not go down without a fight as they put the first two runners on to begin the inning and a Massenzo single scored Haveman, placing the tying run at first with only one out. However, the Lady Rattlers hurler settled down as she got the next two ETSU hitters out, ending any threat for the Bucs.
In the second game, the
After dropping three games in the tournament the Bucs were eliminated from the Buzz Classic on Saturday night. ETSU will continue on its road trip as they head down to

Welcome back to the return of our weekly Top 10 Android App Updates column, where we take a look at the most upgraded apps for the week. I've found that one of the best ways to discover useful apps is to look at what people are actually updating, and not focus on which apps have the most installs.
To find the most updated apps, I turn to AppAware. It's a great tool that shows me which apps have active support from their developers and sometimes reminds me of an old app that I might have removed long ago. Make sure to install it so your activity can help determine our weekly top 10 list.
As in the past, we are going to filter out minor updates for the super popular apps that have over 10 million installs, but I'm going to make an exception for apps that had significant updates. I hope you enjoy this weekly feature and discover some apps that you might find useful.
What's new in this version:
- The app has been completely redesigned and comes with a sidemenu navigation.
- The all-new discover feed shows you photos, places & people through the photos you take
- All bugs reported by users have been fixed
EyeEm is a great alternative to Instagram. The more you use it, the more your custom feed will learn what topics you like. Version 3.0 brings a complete overhaul and a new way to discover photos.
What's new in this version:
- This version update includes a number of security and stability improvements
- Location preference now integrated to system level Google apps location setting.
- Youtube videos controls now work in full screen mode; videos continue playing after a screen lock/unlock
- Fixes to make third-party IMEs work better with Chrome
Chrome recently left beta and it is now my full time browser. Moving from device to device is such a great experience with Chrome sync, and I don't think I will ever leave this browser. It doesn't get updated as often as the desktop version, but at least it gets regular updates.
What's new in this version:
- Improved navigation within sections, visible when you tap on section's name
- Easier access to Google Reader feeds and folders
- In-app hints that expose helpful functionality
- New shopping cart features (Gilt Taste section)
- Improved performance and bug fixes
I keep trying to use Flipboard, but I quickly lose interest. It's now installed on my daily device, but I find myself turning to other sources to get my news. The latest version exposes more in-app hints, so this is a great chance to learn all that it can do.
What's new in this version:
- Optimized NQ Account sign-in and sign-up process
- Greatly optimized the NQ Space (i.nq.com) Anti-theft features
- Changed the NQ icon on the status bar to be hidden by default
- Improved first-installation user's guide
- Updated the Anti-theft interface
- Added compatibility for larger screen phones
I don't normally run a security app, but I feel like I should have some added protection. NQ Mobile just released a new version that includes an improved anti-theft interface, so I think this is a great time for me to try it out and see how it stacks up to the competition.
What's new in this version:
- Status-bar Widget: See what's next & simply add new tasks straight from the new status-bar widget. Pull & DO (Android 4.0+)
- Improved titles: Long task titles now supported
- Some animations improved
- Removed redundant permissions
- Bug fixed
I was hooked on Any.Do for a couple of months, but I keep jumping from device to device and I have not been installing Any.Do recently. It's a great app to manage your to-do lists, but I find myself turning to Google Docs more often when I need to share a list. The latest update includes a status-bar widget, which sounds like a great feature to keep your most important items right in front of you.
What's new in this version:
- New Design: shows your coach-assigned & extra-credit tasks at a glance
- More Rewards and Motivation: earn points based on task difficulty & move through levels
- Improved Food Logging: Dial-a-Meal, Saved Meals, and Sandwich & Soup Makers
- Built-in pedometer: automatically tracks your steps using less than 4% of battery
- Expanded Content Library: twice as much great content (5x more for Pro)
Noom might be the key if you have been struggling to lose weight and keep it off. The developer claims that 86% of active users lose weight successfully. Their built in coach gives you daily tasks to help create positive lifestyle changes for long-term weight loss. I beta tested an early version last year and I enjoyed it, so maybe it's time to give it a look again.
What's new in this version:
- Smart Space – fixes typos even if you miss spaces as you type
- New look – two beautiful new themes for your keyboard
- Easier layout – larger space bar, quick punctuation key and other tweaks
- New languages – seven new languages for our international friends
- Improved prediction – the words you want, more of the time
I will always prefer the stock Android keyboard, but SwiftKey 3 seems to be one of the best options if you want to try an alternative. It has improved next work prediction to help you type faster. The latest update includes a couple new themes and has a layout that is easier to use.
What's new in this version:
- Checklists are here! Keep your list private or use it to collaborate.
- Add notes to Catch with a single touch of your thumb using the new capture wheel.
- Manage your shared spaces with visual notifications that alert you when something has changed.
- Easily tell your spaces apart with new color coding.
- Use location tagging to remember important places, now with improved place names.
- Catch 5 is an update for smartphones and small tablets currently.
I once used Catch Notes, but I have fully embraced Springpad now.
What's new in this version:
- For Android phones:
- -An easier way to add/edit trip plans directly on the device
- -Push notifications for TripIt Pro travel alerts
- For Android tablets:
- -Share, add, and edit buttons added to action bar
- -Various bug fixes
This is my go-to app when I travel. I don't think I could ever leave the house without having my travel itinerary synced up with Tripit.
What's new in this version:
- Pretty much everything. It's all new. Like, all of it.
- Well, kind of… you can still do all the stuff you used to be able to do, but now you can do a whole lotta other awesome stuff too.
- Now available for Nexus 7
- Squashed some bugs :-)
We were really impressed with the concept behind the first Zaarly, but it never took off. The app allowed you to buy and sell both goods and services from local people. The latest version includes all the features of the last update, but it now includes a completely new look. I think this service still has a lot of potential, but it will need to attract more users before it is really valuable.

Sometimes, you know exactly what you're getting. That the bands The Folks Below and Bury Me Standing put on an excellent performance Friday night at Ralph's Chadwick Square Diner was hardly surprising — I had just written about both bands' debut albums for my column Thursday, and am clearly a fan.
But even then, there was something new to discover, and for me, that was North Carolina's Crystal Bright and the Silver Hands, a band that added a dose of carnival madness and musical deftness to the already eclectic and outrageously talented lineup, theatrical panache that well-complemented the other two bands.
Before the show started, I talked to Folks lead singer Holly Brewer about her album and about her previous band, HUMANWINE, particularly a live recording that she was critical of but of which I was rather fond. I tried to explain how I sometimes prefer the rough edges of a live performance to pristine studio recordings. These days, so many recordings are pitch-corrected to death, it's hard to even be able to tell if the vocalists can really sing. In live shows, where the singer has to overcome the normal tribulations of rock clubs — feedback, bar crowds, et al — you see what they're really made of.
Brewer and drummer and fellow HUMANWINE alum Nate Greenslit proved that the great sound on the Folks debut recording wasn't a product of studio magic, performing what was essentially a stripped-down, two-person rendition of the album. What's remarkable is that while between songs the musicians were loose, bantering amiably, something sparked when they began playing.
The sudden moments of intensity were jarring, and captivating, even when Brewer's truly frightening vocal range occasionally challenged the microphone, interrupting the music with a screech. The crowd — largely a listening audience — didn't mind. Indeed, at times, the crowd almost threatened to become a dancing audience. You could see people bouncing discreetly, seemingly against their will, during the folk-punk rocker "Eat Your Face," but it never erupted into dancing. Which is a shame, because I kind of want to see that song with a mosh pit. It's got the right combination of energy and manic joy for that sort of thing.
But that's almost beside the point — Brewer and Greenslit delivered a set that moved from the folky to the operatic to flat-out rock with aplomb, creating an immensely diverse amount of sound for two people.
As mentioned, Crystal Bright and the Silver Hands were an unknown quantity for me, but they had my attention almost instantly, and by the time vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Bright had launched into a mariachi number (in Spanish, no less) I was absolutely riveted.
The band has a dark carnival feel, harkening back to Old World Europe with an ephemeral, almost-supernatural tinge. Performing as a three-person outfit that night, there were numerous instruments on stage, with Bright herself at one point bouncing between a keyboard, a musical saw and an accordion, all while singing. Indeed, at one point she left the stage, singing and playing accordion while wandering the club. At another point, she played an adungu, or Ugandan harp, and played a drum so hard that her drumsticks splintered, sending wood splinters flying.
But really, what makes Bright such a captivating performer is her voice, smoky with a pop edge sometimes, gorgeously high and theatrical at others. All told, this band wasn't just a pleasant surprise, it was a discovery worth following closely in the future.
As an aside, here's a video for one of the band's more pop-friendly songs, "Especially Your Mother":
The night finished up with the heavier collision of Balkan folk music and metal of Bury Me Standing. The band, which also features Greenslit on drums, took a lot of the same sounds that the preceding bands used, but made them thicker, often more ominous. There was a density to the music, but also a bit of theatrics, especially watching Greenslit and his wife, Vessela Stoyanova, play tag-team percussion from opposite sides of the stage.
The music's thick sound put a nice capstone on the evening, with Tony Leva's bass giving the music a nice grounded feel, and Burcu Gulec's vocals breaking through the solid ceiling of music. Gulec's voice is full and powerful, the kind of voice that shakes you to your bones, even when she's not singing in English, or simply making musical sounds. The tone carries the emotional content of the song. A second vocalist (whose name I'm afraid I didn't catch) joined Gulec on stage for a few songs, and the harmonies added a great texture.
Second aside: Here's the recent video for the band's "Keep Your Head Down":
Unfortunately, I had to leave as the clock ticked past 1 a.m., and I left Ralph's with that thick, percussion-driven, folk-charged music still echoing in my ears. It was an evening of confirming favorites, and discovering new ones, but none of it was music that you forget easily. The m�lange of Old World European and merry-go-round sounds haunted me deep into the night, and lingered still even after the sun had come up. (Victor D. Infante)
