Testing the limits of Nokia's wireless charging pad
Ever wonder what all the Nokia wireless charging pad can work through? The obvious question would be "Can the wireless charger operate through a protective case?" but Windows Phone Central reader Nisse Tuta took things a bit further.
From a sock to a cooking pot, the wireless charger was put through the ringer of sorts. The Nokia Lumia 920 successfully made contact through every object except the metal cooking pot. The charging connection was even successful while holding the Lumia 920 a few inches above the charging pad.
I just wonder if Nisse had have put the Lumia 920 in the pot then placed the pot on the charger would it have worked. You can catch the full discussion on Nisse's wireless charging experiments here in the Windows Phone Central Forums.

That's how you do it Nokia.
inteller says:
are you telling me that the Nokia fatboy charger is just a regular charging plate slipped into a pillow? Holy crap what a racket.
Tomasz S. says:
Exactly. A regular Nokia DT-900 slipped into a Fatboy pouch.
inteller says:
Nokia has taken a page from Apple in selling kitch to suckers. I had to look up Fatboy to see what they even made and realized it is crap you buy at Urban Outfiters (and of course (RED) versions to make your capitalistic conscience feel better about buying overpriced crap)
the_Enlightened says:
Yeah... And we need more of it:-) Coolest accessory ever! My Lumia deserves a Fatboy
hary536 says:
I don't think Fatboy has a regular charging plate.
The pillow curves in and I believe the charging plate is thicker than the thickness of the pillow when curved in.
Even if it is not, I guess, someone needs to open up fatboy and confirm. I doubt it is same charging plate.
Tomasz S. says:
It has a regular DT-900 charging plate. And the pouch doesn't curve in when you put the charger inside of it.
GoodThings2Life says:
Only if you're wacko enough to buy one... I don't understand the attraction... the regular one is the most versatile option.
inteller says:
I say go down to your local nursing home and find a grandma to knit you a pillow.
Mantikos says:
The stand is superior imho - the NFC accessory app is also cool
ymala1 says:
Exactly what I was coming to say. Holy shit, what a rip, so the MSRP I've seen for this thing, it includes both the charging plate and the pouch right? Not just the pouch?
Residing says:
Inteller...were you expecting the polyester fiber/down/cotton in the Fatboy to, somehow, have tiny chargers embedded within them?
WPenvy says:
Haha yeah... You just realised that?
RoyalAdonis says:
I wonder if it would work had they used an 820/810/822. I would think the wireless charging shell in addition to a case, would prove to make wirelessly charging the phone pretty difficult.
minibeardeath says:
The wireless charging backplate puts the antenna on the 820/22/12 in the same place as on the 920. It should be an identical antenna, so the charging abilitis should also be Identical
Judge_Daniel says:
It is good that you bring this up. I believe that every wirelessly chargeable phone needs to be put through their paces. I initially had trouble with the Verizon 8x charging on the regular pad, but it seems to be working now.
scottcraft says:
I've got an otterbox on my 822 and wireless charging works fine through the case.
barleyman says:
Ditto. Have a silicon case for my 822 and wireless charging works just fine.
minibeardeath says:
I would love to check this out if only att would send me my damn charger. I've been waiting three weeks now
jkernus says:
Check to make sure AT&T still has your order. I had to go back to the store after waiting 1 month for mine to arrive. Turns out they had no record of the order, even though I had a physical receipt in hand. They resubmitted the order and I received it in 5 days
NicholasNavarre says:
Same here, except I haven't gotten it yet, but you have to keep calling because it seems like they lose your order or if you're on the list you end up NOT being on the list.
jkernus says:
Works fine with my Otterbox. I keep it at bedside as it comes in handy when shutting off the alarm in the morning
RolexDPracer says:
Good to know. I have a 822 as well, and I just got a wireless charger and silicone case.
ianwasheretoo says:
DOES ANYONE KNOW THE NAME OF THE SONG? :O i need that song for my project!
inteller says:
sounds like an instrumental version of the song in the Avengers movie.
WPenvy says:
Don't think so. I have the soundtrack and i've listened to it a couple dozen times
SZero says:
Its Far Cry 3 theme song. Falling in to dream. :)
Nisse Tuta says:
It is Brian Tyler - Falling into Dreams from the Far Cry 3 Soundtrack :)
cjthree says:
If you look at the video as soon as he puts the pot down, the chargers startes to go crazy. The light blinks off and on so it seems it will never work though metal.
weis says:
The charger had an identity crisis: it didn't know if it's a wireless charger or an induction cooker ...
cam45fblax says:
Curtieson says:
"After you are done with my phone, I could use some Romen."
teoami says:
For some reason I think that the charging sound is very satisfying. I love it every time I plug in my 900.
schlubadub says:
It's very similar to the sound on my HTC HD7... possibly the same!
ffMathy says:
It's a Windows Phone charging sound. It has nothing to do with the manufacturer.
chaoticbuddhist says:
I have my charge plate mounted under my desktop. I just lay the phone on the desk over the charger and it works fine.
I had to make a couple of little marks on the surface so I would know where to lay the phone, but it's highly effective.
NicholasNavarre says:
Does it take any longer to charge?
stumpy1570 says:
Does it actually charge the phone or just make the connection sound?
NicholasNavarre says:
Yes, that's something important that should be tested. Does the distance make an impact on how long it takes to charge? Or what about something else? Being on crooked? Will that make it worse? Also, I would like to know about charging times compared to being plugged in.
NicholasNavarre says:
I just want to know which is better when you need to quickly charge up: wireless or wired?
ffMathy says:
Pretty sure wireless charging is better for the battery, although you would think the opposite. I remember reading that somewhere. I just can't remember where.
As for charging speed, I have no clue.
Sebaslight says:
it actually charges the phone AND make the cnnection sound............. i guess =P
Sebaslight says:
LOL te music was like: c'mon!!! you can do it !!!! come oooonnn wirless charging pad!!! come ooonnn!!!!
lshepTX says:
Big time Fail! The music should be more dramatic.
DavidinCT says:
I would love to see the thickness of wood.....
NicholasNavarre says:
DavidinCT says:
How think wood can it charge through. 1/4", 1/2" 1"...etc. I want to build wireless chargers into things and if I know for sure it could go thorugh a 1/2" of wood, Then the 1/4" in my nightstand would be no problem but, my desk would need to be thicker...
See what I am getting at ?
Robert Carpenter says:
Just for all those who don't know,
There are only two things that can affect wireless charging. Material and distance.
Wireless charging works from magnetic induction. We do not need to test every single phone case to verify if it will work or not. The only thing that matters is if the case has any materials that will interfere with magnets. This is why the metal pot went crazy.
The second thing that affects wireless charging is distance. The farther away the two magnets are, the weaker the power. Even though a case will not prohibit it from charging, it will increase the time it takes to charge compared to without a case.
As long as nothing is interfering with the magnetism and the distance between the magnets isn't too far, wireless charging will work.
wize72 says:
i switched from iPhone5 and I'm loving my matte black 920. Just got yesterday the wireless charger; it works like a charm. Witing for the wireless stand and then I'll be really happy.
procen says:
Good to hear! Welcome to the family of Windows Phone!
Bati Tsogtsaikhan says:
This video, although well made, is really pointless. If it can charge thru the fatboy 'pillow'(imo the biggest rip off pos that rivals the likes of Apple), it can charge thru a sock.
NicholasNavarre says:
If you can't tell, it doesn't charge "through" the pillow. The charger is really close to the phone. Besides, if it was through the pillow, it would make it pointless since it would take longer to charge.
Nisse Tuta says:
How about that!
Banstyle says:
Yes but what happens when you plug it into a wired charger, then put it on the wireless pad? Won't anyone test it out? :)
NicholasNavarre says:
Hmm... I would assume one would be canceled out.
zakkforchilli says:
That's pretty wild. No pan though? Shit. Always got a pan on my plate..
Gken says:
anyone else not have theirs yet....still waiting on mine jesus.
windocks96 says:
Brother has one and its sick
Tho I do prefer my charging dock
LCyberFox says:
Did my own little testing this morning.. charges through my side table.. posted video here.. am using an Energizer Qi charger although the Nokia charging plate worked well too... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4i7LxEXQd4&feature=youtu.be
DavidinCT says:
Yea, the Energizer QI chargers you can find on ebay for under $20 too...I got one for $12..
A lot cheaper than the nokia ones...

2013 America's Cup
Sail-World.com : ISAF Sailing World Cup heads to Miami
ISAF Sailing World Cup heads to Miami
'Action during last year's ISAF Sailing World Cup in Palma, Spain.' MartinezStudio-Sofía Mapfre - copyright
The fifth venue of the ISAF Sailing World Cup has now been named. The regatta will take place in Miami, Florida USA at the US Sailing Center from 26th January – 2nd February 2013 and will form part of the ISAF Sailing World Cup until 2016 and will be the second stop in the 2012-2013 series following on from Melbourne, Australia and preceding Palma, Spain and Hyeres, France.
Following a bid process, an ISAF appointed evaluation panel advised the Executive Committee on the bids received on factors including sailing conditions, venue infrastructure and facilities, organisation and financial resources.
ISAF Sailing World Cup Manager Antonio González de la Madrid said, 'US Sailing's experience of hosting the ISAF Sailing World Cup in Miami, USA made it a clear choice for the American stop of the international series. With regattas in Australia, China, France and Spain already announced, the ISAF Sailing World Cup will be a truly global affair bringing in the best sailors in the world.'
US Sailing President Gary Jobson said, 'When we established the US Sailing Center on the Florida coastline our goal was to run top-notch sailing events and become known as the North America's best location for sailors looking to build an Olympic or Paralympic campaign. Since 1990, US Sailing's Miami OCR has drawn the world's elite sailors, including Olympic and Paralympic medalists and hopefuls. We are honored to include Miami in the list of world-class venues, and look forward to welcoming the world's best to Biscayne Bay.'
The ISAF Sailing World Cup was launched in December 2008 and brings together the world's leading Olympic and Paralympic sailors. Today's news marks another step in the ISAF Sailing World Cup's development on its way to becoming a world circuit of events.
The event's Notice of Race will be posted soon

I would really like to make my husband a video of photos set to music, slide show basically, for his 40th birthday. I found a great deal on a refurbished iPod Nano and I want to put the video on it for him.
If you have done something like this before and know what software to use that would be great. It needs to be cheap as possible and easy for a first user to do. Any advice?

Boeing's problems with its flagship Dreamliner aircraft mounted Wednesday after an emergency landing in Japan prompted two airlines to ground their fleets, sparking a fall in Boeing shares.
The emergency landing heightened concerns about the reliability of the aircraft and prompted All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines to halt flights on 787 Dreamliners at least until Thursday.
The Dreamliner has been involved in a series of incidents over the past 10 days, including a battery fire, a cracked windshield, two fuel leaks and a braking system problem.
Still, aviation industry experts believe the long-term fallout could be limited -- for both Boeing and its customers.
In early trading Wednesday, Boeing's stock fell more than 3%. Up until now, the aircraft maker's shares had managed to ride out the wave of negative headlines -- gaining about 1% between Jan. 7 and Tuesday's close.
About half of the 50 Dreamliners in service have now been grounded, causing temporary disruption for thousands of passengers. U.S. aviation authorities are looking into the emergency landing and have announced a probe into the Dreamliner's design, manufacture and assembly.
"Airlines taking delivery of aircraft at the beginning of the cycle will expect these teething problems," said Paul Sheridan, head of Asia consultancy at Ascend, the advisory arm of Flightglobal. "Airlines should have plans in place to deal with the lower than expected reliability."
The first Dreamliner was put into service by All Nippon in October 2011, and 787s flew without major problems for more than a year.
While the latest spate of incidents varied in severity, Sheridan said he doesn't think they are connected. He doubts that any airlines will cancel orders.
"I would be amazed if any airlines were sitting there today wondering about their orders," he said. "I can't see that happening."

You CAN save money on your weekly food budget without compromising on nutritional quality.
Tip #1: Eat in, not out. Saving just $10/week adds up over the course of the year! Not only is this a great way to limit spending, but you can control the sodium and fat content of your meals.
Tip #2: Shop with a list – and stick to it! Impulse buying is costly. Use coupons and store discount cards. Nothing better than an item on sale AND having a coupon for it.
Tip #3: Buy generic or store brand products. Purchase in bulk, but only if the extra food will not go to waste.
Tip #4: Whenever possible, buy fresh produce that is in season or on sale. Right now citrus fruits and winter squash are a reasonable price.
Tip #5: Plan meals with less meat, and more beans, rice, potatoes and pasta. Stick to unprocessed foods, like bags of rice rather than boxes of seasoned rice – it's cheaper and (bonus!) has no sodium.
This delicious vegetarian rice-cabbage salad has flavor, a homemade dressing, and uses whole fresh vegetables, rather than pre-cut or pre-shredded. The full recipe is at www.marthajefferson.org; click on Healthy Bites with Rita Smith.

Site is very well readable. Both the normal text, as well as the sql output are very clear.
I can't wait for more articles.

Now, its almost perfect, although not made by someone who sits on the last row in the class….
The text goes a bit off the right margin but its still readable because it falls over the grey background on the page. The font is good: truetype font and good sized.
I suggest you try to post something with a linesize of 200 or more to see what happens with the line breaks.

Hi, Harald
Greetings from Bulgaria. I'm so happy to see you blogging. I know you have tons of interesting information to share with the Oracle comunity (and not only Oracle).
And yes, from practical point of view the blog is very well formated :)

Now I see you are moderating the comments manually. I suggest you to use "Spam Karma" for cleansing the comment-data. It keeps me spam-free for quite long time (I made some of the rules more restrictive than the default values).
I also use "Simple Trackback Validation" plugin to guard my blog from fake trackbacks. With these 2 plugins I have no spam comments for 2 years

Ranking the Big 12 football games: Bedlam the game to watch
1. Oklahoma at Oklahoma State, Dec. 3: Surest thing in college football — Bedlam in Stillwater lives up to its name.
2. Oklahoma at Florida State, Sept. 17: A celebration of powers that haven't shirked their responsibility; both still are glad to play a nonconference showdown.

3. Oklahoma State at Texas A&M, Sept. 24: We wanted better games in September? Here we go. A huge game that will determine OU's chief rival for the 2011 championship.
4. Texas A&M vs. Arkansas at Arlington, Oct. 1: The Big 12's only regular-season crack at the SEC.
5. Oklahoma vs. Texas at Dallas, Oct. 8: An automatic No. 1 in most years of the 2000s, the Trinity River classic still promises all kinds of drama.
6. Texas at Texas A&M, Nov. 24: Almost quietly, Aggies have won three of the last five in the series.
7. Oklahoma State at Missouri, Oct. 22: Cowboys have won two straight in Columbia; 28-23 win in 2008 ranks No. 1 in the Mike Gundy era.
8. Missouri at Texas A&M, Oct. 29: Mizzou's 30-9 rout in College Station last October ended the Jerrod Johnson era.
9. Texas A&M at Oklahoma, Nov. 5: Last time in Norman, Aggies lost 65-10. Expect a better game this time.
10. Missouri at Arizona State, Sept. 9: After the 1957 season, Mizzou hired away Dan Devine from Arizona State. Sun Devils exacted revenge in the second Fiesta Bowl, 49-35 in 1972.
11. BYU at Texas, Sept. 10: What we dreamers wish was a preview of Brigham Young in the Big 12 instead will be a referendum on Mack Brown's rebuilding job.
12. Missouri at Oklahoma, Sept. 24: Say, another competitive Sooner home game. Any chance 2011 ends the Owen Field winning streak?
13. Texas A&M at Texas Tech, Oct. 8: The Big 12 misses Mike Leach most in this rivalry
14. Oklahoma State at Texas, Oct. 15: Strange happenings when this is merely OSU's third-toughest conference road game.
15. Kansas State at Miami, Sept. 24: Bill Snyder canceled series with Oregon, but this one survived, with a return game in Manhattan in 2012.
16. Texas at Missouri, Nov. 12: Mizzou has beaten UT eight times in history. Only once since 1916 and only thrice since 1897. Hey, Tigers. Now's your chance.
17. TCU at Baylor, Sept. 2: Friday night, national TV, Robert Griffin back in green and Andy Dalton no longer wearing purple. What a chance for Baylor.
18. Missouri at Kansas State, Oct. 8: KSU beat Mizzou 13 straight times until 2006; now the Tigers have won five straight. This is Snyder's chance to stay closer to Missouri than to KU and Iowa State as the old North schools try to survive against the South rattlesnakes.
19. Texas Tech at Texas, Nov. 5: Hard to believe the Longhorns actually won in Lubbock last year.
20. Arizona at Oklahoma State, Sept. 8: Part II of a three-game series that kicked off in the Alamo Bowl with a Cowboy domination.
21. Texas at Baylor, Dec. 3: Wonder if Baylor's ever had this kind of quarterback edge over UT? Griffin vs. Garrett Gilbert or whoever. Probably so. Baylor's had some decent QBs. Cotton Davidson, Cody Carlson, Tom Muecke, when the 'Horns were wandering in the wilderness. Plus Don Trull.
22. Texas A&M at Kansas State, Nov. 12: Big 12's darkest day was the Aggies' upset of KSU in 1998 title game. Wildcats might have won the national title.
23. Texas at UCLA, Sept. 17: Longhorns have a losing record (2-3) against the Bruins. UT's only two wins came in a 350-day span (October 1970-September 1971) at the height of Darrell Royal's wishbone.
24. Baylor at Kansas State, Oct. 1: This is the kind of game that could determine bowl bids. Nine conference games, plus one tough nonconference game, the loser here might have to go 4-4 against the rest of the Big 12 just to qualify for the postseason.
25. Iowa at Iowa State, Sept. 10: Cyclones have gone 7-6 in this series since 1997. An ISU win here would confirm the suspicion that Paul Rhoads is a heck of a coach.
26. Oklahoma at Kansas State, Oct. 29: Just wondering, but you suppose K-State is warming to the idea of Brent Venables as Snyder's second successor?
27. Missouri at Baylor, Nov. 5: Welcome to the South Division, Mizzou. This is going to be your easiest road trip biennially, and it will be a dogfight.
28. Oklahoma State at Texas Tech, Nov. 12: Strange happenings when this is OSU's easiest conference road game.
29. Iowa State at Connecticut, Sept. 16: UConn's first significant victory in Division I-A came in November 2002, with a 37-20 victory at Ames over a team that once was ranked No. 9 in the AP poll. Now Connecticut is the defending Big East champ, and Iowa State could use a signature win.
30. Oklahoma at Baylor, Nov. 19: Sooners are 20-0 all-time against the Baptists. Twenty-and-zero. A win here would be Miracle on the Brazos II.
31. Kansas State at Texas Tech, Oct. 15: Tech won't play many games this season with a quarterback edge, since Seth Dodge was a third-teamer last year behind two guys who were the worst QBs since the turn of the century. But the Red Raiders will have a QB edge here.
32. Oklahoma State at Tulsa, Sept. 17: OSU hasn't played at TU since 2000. Can you believe that? Those comments by then-Tulsa coach Keith Burns came at a high price.
33. Baylor at Texas A&M, Oct. 15: The Bears aren't 0-20 at Kyle Field, but they haven't won there since 1984.
34. Kansas State at Oklahoma State, Nov. 5: Maybe OSU's most impressive victory in 2010 was in Manhattan; 24-14 without Justin Blackmon.
35. Nevada at Texas Tech, Sept. 24: Nevada beat Cal and Boise State last season in a couple of fascinating Friday games in Reno. Alas, this game is neither on a Friday nor in Reno.
36. Baylor at Oklahoma State, Oct. 29: Do you realize OSU's schedule is front-loaded? The Cowboys' four games just before Bedlam are Baylor and K-State in Stillwater, then at Tech and Iowa State.

Cellar/Tasting Notes RP: "It offers a classic bouquet of incense, licorice, pain grille, black currants, truffles, and flowers. Medium-bodied and concentrated, it is another terrific effort from an estate that has done everything right over the last decade."
Cellar/Tasting Notes RP: "Inky/black-colored with a classic Pauillac perfume of licorice, black currant liqueur, graphite, cedar, and spice box, it is full-bodied, with magnificent concentration, formidable tannins, and an Arnold Schwartzenegger-like structure (when he was 25 years younger). This backward, formidably..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "St.-Emilion's smallest vineyard produces so little wine (600 or so cases) that it is virtually impossible to find. This beautiful site (somewhat ghoulishly situated adjacent to St-Emilion's cemetery) produces what I have often called the 'Lafleur of St.-Emilion.' Classic notes of crushed rocks,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Resplendent in its new shiny gold label, Krug is a majestic Champagne. Its velvet texture, dominated by mature flavors, is toasty and rich, dense and complex. In the mouth, its beautiful roasted almond, spice and ripe pears all balance impressively. Could the wine be getting even better? No..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Deep red with ruby tones. Sappy, perfumed nose offers cherry, white pepper, crushed stone, mint and menthol. Wonderfully velvety in the mouth, but with superb energy and definition to the pungent mineral and fresh raspberry flavors. Boasts a three-dimensional texture and great sweetness. ..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2010 Clos des Lambrays is striking. Dark cherries, plums, wild berries, spices and licorice are woven together beautifully in this highly expressive, singular wine. A cool vein of minerality is a common thread as the wine continues to take shape in the glass. There is a beguiling, mysterious..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A beautiful effort, the 2009 Pichon Lalande, a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, possesses copious mocha, lead pencil, unsmoked, high class tobacco, black currant, forest floor and herbaceous characteristics. It is a deep purple-hued, charming, surprisingly open-knit..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Maison Seigneur de Posanges Grands Echezeaux 1959 offers an exceptionally pretty nose as it still possesses the mainly sous bois suffused vestiges of ripe secondary fruit aromas as well as spice, earth and discreet sauvage notes.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Deus-Ex Machina is utter perfection in the glass an awesome wine both comparable to and eclipsing the otherworldly 2003.

Cellar/Tasting Notes RP: "Pavie's 2005 exhibits a thick-looking purple color to the rim as well as an exquisite perfume of blueberry and blackberry liqueur, unsmoked cigar tobacco, crushed rocks, damp earth, and hints of truffles and incense.

The Library Home Page serves as a gateway to journal and reference databases, online reference services, internet search engines, online interlibrary loan request forms, and links to other libraries. With few exceptions, resources are accessible from any location with Internet access.
Library Catalog
The Library Catalog (PILOT) is the best way to check for availability of books, journals, and other materials in the University Libraries' collection. In addition to listing materials in the collection, the catalog provides links to many Internet resources and provides detailed holdings information for journal titles. PILOT also includes a simultaneous search feature, which enables a quick search of catalogs of other university libraries in the Keystone Library Network.
Access to journal and magazine articles is through the A-Z Database list on the Library Homepage. After a database has been chosen, a "Remote Access" login page will appear. Choose either the left or right side of the screen (see sample image below) and type in the required information.
You have two options for logging into periodical databases remotely:
1. You can use your Library ID Number and Last Name (the option on the left-hand side of the screen)
Enter Clarion (Library) ID number and last name
Students: Your Library ID number is 9 + your Clarion ID number
Example: If Clarion ID is "12345678," Library ID Login is "912345678" (without the quotes, of course)
If you don't know your Clarion ID, find instructions here.
Employees: Your Library ID Login is a nine digit number consisting of a series of leading zeros followed by your employee ID number (Use enough preceding zeros to create a nine-digit number.)
Example: If employee ID number (check your paystub) is "98765," Library ID Login is "000098765" (without the quotes, of course)
2. Log In Using Your Clarion Username and Password (the option on the right-hand side of the screen)
Select "Clarion University" from the "Institution" drop-down box
Log in using MyClarion username (without the "@clarion.edu") and MyClarion password
Student Example: "Adam B. Clark" would log in as: s_abclark
Faculty/Staff Example: "Adam B. Clark" would log in as: aclark
If you are having problems with your username/password, you may need to synchronize your password. To do this, go to "Change MyClarion Password" and follow the instructions provided by the Office of Computing Services.
If you continue to have trouble connecting to the library's databases, contact Bill Trimble, Systems Administrator at 814-393-2017 or send him an email at the Libraries' Systems Office.
Use of these services is restricted to registered students, faculty, and staff employees at Clarion University.
Many tutorials about using the library's various resources and services are available on the "Library Help" web page.
Use LibAnswers to find an answers and ask new questions of the Clarion University Libraries. Reference and Information Services faculty and staff will be pleased to assist with brief reference requests or provide counsel on appropriate resources for projects. Responses are usually posted within 24 hours.
Telephone a Carlson reference librarian at: 814-393-2490.
Telephone a Suhr reference librarian at: 814-393-1242 ... or ... 814-676-6591 extension 1242.
Nursing students are encouraged to communicate directly with librarians at Suhr Library, Venango Campus, since most nursing books and journals are housed at that library.
The Interlibrary Loan staff makes every effort to help Virtual Campus students and faculty connect with needed resources. InterLibrary Loan (ILL) options are available on the Library Services page. Virtual Campus faculty and students may use ILLiad to request materials owned by Clarion, as well as items which must be requested from other libraries.
Journal Articles
Before requesting an article via ILL, please check to see if the article you need is included in one of the full-text databases accessible through the Journals & Magazines A-Z List. Use the Journals & Magazines A-Z List link which is available on the Library Research Resources page to check availability. Type the journal name in the search box. If the title is available, a link or links to the database(s) will appear on the screen together with the time period covered. Follow the database links.
If the title is not available online, please use ILLiad under Library Services to order copies of needed articles.
You will be prompted for a login to access ILLiad, the software used by Clarion University to manage interlibrary loan requests. Step-by-step directions and a video about using ILLiad are available.
Log into ILLiad with your Clarion username (without the "@clarion.edu") and your Clarion password. This is the username you use to log into the MyClarion Portal, D2L, and Campus Computer Labs. Example: email@example.com The first time you access ILLiad, you will also need to know your Library ID number.
Clarion University students: Your Library ID number is 9 + your Clarion ID number.
For example, if your Clarion ID is "12345678", your Library ID Login will be "912345678".
If you don't know your Clarion ID, you will be able to find it by following the instructions here.
Clarion University employees: Your Library ID Login is a nine-digit number consisting of a series of leading zeroes followed by your employee ID number. (Use enough preceding zeroes to create a nine-digit number.)
For example, if your employee number is 98765, your Library ID Login is 000098765.
Your employee ID number can be found on your current pay stub.
InterLibrary Loan staff will locate a library that has the article and then get it to you as quickly as possible. Frequently, the article is available in electronic format and can be made available to you within 3-7 days. ILLiad is used whenever possible. Otherwise articles are sent via U.S. postal service. If the source requested is difficult to locate or is available only in paper format, the time frame may be 7-14 days. Copies of articles do not need to be returned to the library.
Make sure ILLiad request forms are completed as accurately and completely as possible. (If staff needs to verify the bibliographic information - or even your address - the process will take longer.)
When you register in ILLIad, provide your CU e-mail address. (If we need to e-mail information you, the University system is better equipped to handle large messages - like articles - than many commercial accounts.)
Be sure to keep your campus e-mail account cleared to ensure that articles sent to you are not rejected because of limited file space. Most of the time, however, articles will be delivered to you through the ILLiad software.
Request needed materials as early as possible. Clarion's interlibrary loan staff usually processes requests on the day received but turnaround time for filled requests varies considerably. Time frame depends on how readily available materials are elsewhere and the overall request volume at the lending library.
Books Shipped Via Priority Mail Through InterLibrary Loan
In an effort to enhance loan service, library staff is shipping books via "priority mail" to Virtual Campus students. Please help us evaluate this experimental service. When requested books arrive, send an e-mail to interlibrary loan staff confirming the date received. Direct your comments to firstname.lastname@example.com. Your assistance is appreciated.
Check the Online Catalog (link available under the "Find Books" tab on the Library home) to determine availability of materials at Clarion.
Use ILLiad, available on the Library Services page to request titles owned by Clarion University as well as those held by other libraries.
You will be prompted for a login to access ILLiad, the software used by Clarion University to manage interlibrary loan requests. Step-by-step directions and a video about using ILLiad are available.
Log into ILLiad with your Clarion username (without the "@clarion.edu") and your Clarion password. This is the username you use to log into the MyClarion Portal, Blackboard, and Campus Computer Labs. Example: firstname.lastname@example.com The first time you access ILLiad, you will also need to know your Library ID number.
Clarion University students: Your Library ID number is 9 + your Clarion ID number.
For example, if your Clarion ID is "12345678", your Library ID Login will be "912345678".
If you don't know your Clarion ID, you will be able to find it by following the instructions here.
Clarion University employees: Your Library ID Login is a nine-digit number consisting of a series of leading zeroes followed by your employee ID number. (Use enough preceding zeroes to create a nine-digit number.)
For example, if your employee number is 98765, your Library ID Login is 000098765.
Your employee ID number can be found on your current pay stub.
Book materials will be sent to the address you specify.
You are responsible for return postage and timely return of materials to the University.
Materials available at Clarion University will be shipped to you by U. S. Mail. Please allow at least 7-10 days for delivery.
Books which must be requested by Clarion from other libraries may take two to three weeks to reach you. Please keep in mind that once you request books, materials must be requested from another library, delivered to Carlson Library and then sent on to you. The time frame is also affected by availability of materials, location of the lending library (transit time), as well as the request volume at lending libraries.
Books from the Clarion University collections may be renewed through PILOT, the Libraries' online catalog. After accessing the catalog, click on the "Renew Books" link at the top of the screen.
A video with instructions for renewing books through PILOT is available.
Renewals of books from other libraries are permitted at the discretion of the lending library. If you need to renew an interlibrary loan item, please use the renewal request options in ILLiad or contact Clarion's Interlibrary Loan Department well before the due date.
Materials Not Available Through InterLibrary Loan
Occasionally the library will be unable to fill your request. Each library determines its own lending policies. For example: reference books, media, and dissertations are usually unavailable for loan. Other restrictions may also apply. If the InterLibrary Loan Department cannot fill your request, you will be notified as soon as possible through ILLiad.
Loan Periods
Books from the Clarion University Libraries' general collection circulate for four (4) weeks. Juvenile collection and media materials circulate for two (2) weeks. You may renew an item for a second loan period, if no hold has been placed on it. Distance education students may contact the ILL department at 814-393-2481 prior to the due date or by using the renew option available from the online catalog. (Click on the "Renew Books" link.)
A video with instructions for renewing books through PILOT is available.
Fines are 20 cents per day for general collection items and $1 per day for periodical and reserve items. Please make checks payable to: Clarion University of Pennsylvania. To avoid fines, return or renew all materials by the due date.
Library materials that are 49 days overdue are considered "lost". Patrons are charged the replacement cost of "lost" books plus a $20 (per piece) lost item replacement fee.
Warning: Lost books may result in patron borrowing privileges being revoked until the items are returned and/or the account is cleared.

I am happy to say that other than having a couple pieces of a delicious chocolate bar receipe my neighbor made for me, I am still eating vegan.
Honestly, it has not been a huge struggle for me. I am especially happy with learning how to cook delicious vegan meals. Although I have been a Vegetarian Times subscriber for years without even being vegetarian, I have never been inspired as I have with the 21 Day program.
I am interested to see how others have sustained.
My husband has lost 20#s! And although he did the 21 day program, he has converted to a 20% fish/chicken and an 80% vegan diet. I find this to be contradictory but I am happy that he is resolved to eatting healthier.
How's it going with you guys?
Still vegan almost all the time. About once every two weeks or so I want something non-vegan and I go ahead and eat it, but it really doesn't happen much. It's gotten to be pretty much a habit now.
Serene Vannoy, Oakland, CA-- My daily Kickstart blog: http://serenecooking.livejournal.com/tag/kickstart
At this point I plan to be Vegan for life, and I'm clear that there may be times that it's easier said than done. I have adopted this intention:
"I AM a vegan as far as possible and practical. I avoid all animal foods to the best of my ability. When I have complete control, no animal food passes my lips. However, my path is one of progress, not perfection."
I know that isn't as strict and militant as some, but it's what I can live with. I don't want to show up in the world as the "food police." I don't want to live that way.
I've been vegetarian since 2000, but it has still been a difficult transition to Vegan.
Vikki ~ firstname.lastname@example.com
Yeah, I refuse to be doctrinaire about it. The cool thing about being vegan this time around is it feels like MY CHOICE, not something I can't wait to "cheat" on, or something I'll be a bad person if I go back on. It's just something I'm doing because it feels right for me, and there's no one to disappoint, and no rules to follow. I just choose to eat vegan. Every meal is a new chance to choose that, and so far, so good.
Thanks. I appreciate that. I love your words of wisdom. I pretty much feel the same way. There have already been a few siutaions such as eating out that are hard to handle. I figure I will just do the best I can. I've been telling my husband for years that we should come up with a fast food vegetarian/vegan restaurant. If you've noticed a lot of the fast food places are coming out with vege burgers and the likes. Every time I hear of something new I give him "The look." Im from San Francisco where drive throughs are far and few in between but you would think that in the land of "Free love" someone would come up with that!
Bluesgyrl wrote:
Eating out is harder for me if I'm super-hungry. Otherwise, I can pretty much find vegan food anywhere. (I know that part of that is that I live where I do, and it's harder for people in the Midwest, or the South.)
I'm your neighbor (I'm in the East Bay) and yeah, that would be a great idea. In San Diego, there was a drive-through place called Faque Burger (pronounced Fake Burger) that was good; they didn't survive, but it was around 20 years ago, and maybe they'd do better now.
I'm doing my best but have been sick for the past few days and the only thing in the cupboard I could tolerate the thought of eating was chicken noodle soup - and thank goodness I had it because I have not been in any condition to go out to the store. Must remember to stock up on lentil soups etc. for these types of times. I usually make my own but have just been prone on the couch for three days. Blech!
Will get back on track a.s.a.p.
All we are saying is "Give Peas a Chance"
Hope you feel better soon.
I'm loving this "diet." And I agree totally with SereneVannoy and Wild4Stars. After 20 years of living with the totally pickiest eater and his family and feeling like a short order cook whenever they were here for a weekend (mostly eating out as it was just to hard on me seeing them eat only junk)I can't do that to other people when we visit them. I do (discretely, I hope) choose the non-meat items and eat lots of those. Luckily I've never yet had to starve!!But when ever I am in control of my plate I'm sticking to all-vegan. I'm feeling healthier and somehow happier too.
Yep, staying vegan--definitely sticking with this for life! Like you guys though, I had some less than 100% days in the beginning. No big deal. Eventually I just stopped missing things and learned how to navigate through going out till it was all routine.
BUT I've been a little off-track the past several days: restaurant dinner, dinner party, and Super Bowl party! Everything I ate was vegan, but it sure wasn't low fat or even moderately healthy. And then there were the drinks. After a few days of this I'm feeling a little rough, and I missed the gym twice thanks to the giant snowstorm.
So, I'm happy and thankful to see you guys here today as I recommit! I had a good breakfast and packed my lunch, and after a healthy dinner and good night's sleep I bet I'll feel better by tomorrow.
Have a great week!
Shanna ~ I can relate, I over ate yesterday, plus had some wine. Stayed vegan, but ate too much, and of course wine is lots of empty calories. But back on track today and determined to be "THIN AGAIN IN 2010"
I am not a big football fan. Unless the 49ers are in the Superbowl.........I don't bother. I am glad, however, that New Orelans were able to have victory. So much heartache.........they deserved it. What is it with the Superbowl anyway? Why has it become this fest to stuff yourself? It's like a glutten holiday! Although........I am interested if anyone walked away with any new, interesting vegan delights!????
Serene.............I knew you were in Bay Area which is why I suggested cooking classes. In your spare time................of course. Ha! Maybe someday. You are full of great ideas.
I think Im going to do a little more research on this whole fast food thing. Very interesting about the place in San Diego. Why do you think it closed?
removing some archived posts
I have been staying vegan mostly, but cheat about once a week or so. I'm not mad at myself about it, I just go back to usual. I had a very hard time in Las Vegas, I could only eat hummus!
I cheated a little bit. I went to a cafeteria that put butter in most of their vegetables, I've eaten some of my son's lacto-leftovers, and I had a Shipley's donut yesterday. Aside from that I've been doing really well at this.
You guys seem to be doing good, even with a few slips. During our primary I worked as an election judge, we had to stay in the building for 15 hrs and couldn't leave. Well I ate 2 danish rolls, 1 slice of lemon poppy bread and a cup cake. How disguesting! I brought a peanut-butter and jelly sandwich and an orange, which I eat also. Ordered steamed vegetables and spring vegetable rolls from Panda Express. The next day I really felt bad. Sick to my stomach. That's the last time I eat all those sweets.
Sweets have always made me feel sick, even when I was younger. I never really developed a strong sweet tooth. Salty, crunchy is more my downfall. A bag of chips and a jar of salsa and I'm a goner !!
I do better at home, then I do going out to eat. I have to get used to special ordering. BLT without bacon and extra tomates and lettuce. I did get some vegetable soup and pour my baked beans in it. It tasted good, but not sure it was vegan.
I've learned to always carry my own salad dressing with me. Worse case scenario I can get a salad and a baked potato. Also I almost always have a Larabar with me. Vegan and very filling.
Hee! You're good for my ego. Thanks!
My personal theory is because instead of sodas (which are easy to find in vegan versions) they served this nasty "Jungle Punch" stuff that was like fruit juice with too much lemon in it. When I get fast food, I want a soda with it. I mean, I almost never eat fast food, but when I do, if I get a drink, it's gonna be a soda, not a cleansing glass of lemon juice. The burgers and air-cooked fries were good, though!

MINNEAPOLIS — Pauline Friedman Phillips, who under the name of Abigail Van Buren, wrote the long-running "Dear Abby" advice column that was followed by millions of newspaper readers throughout the world, has died. She was 94.
Publicist Gene Willis of Universal Uclick said Phillips died Wednesday after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease.
Phillips' column competed for decades with the advice column of Ann Landers, written by her twin sister, Esther Friedman Lederer. Their relationship was stormy in their early adult years, but later they regained the close relationship they had growing up in Sioux City, Iowa.
The two columns differed in style. Ann Landers responded to questioners with homey, detailed advice. Abby's replies were often flippant one-liners.
Phillips admitted that her advice changed over the years. When she started writing the column, she was reluctant to advocate divorce:
"I always thought that marriage should be forever," she explained. "I found out through my readers that sometimes the best thing they can do is part. If a man or woman is a constant cheater, the situation can be intolerable. Especially if they have children. When kids see parents fighting, or even sniping at each other, I think it is terribly damaging."
She willingly expressed views that she realized would bring protests. In a 1998 interview she remarked: "Whenever I say a kind word about gays, I hear from people, and some of them are damn mad. People throw Leviticus, Deuteronomy and other parts of the Bible to me. It doesn't bother me. I've always been compassionate toward gay people."
If the letters sounded suicidal, she took a personal approach: "I'll call them. I say, 'This is Abby. How are you feeling? You sounded awfully low.' And they say, 'You're calling me?' After they start talking, you can suggest that they get professional help."
Asked about Viagra, she replied: "It's wonderful. Men who can't perform feel less than manly, and Viagra takes them right off the spot."
About working mothers: "I think it's good to have a woman work if she wants to and doesn't leave her children unattended — if she has a reliable person to care for them. Kids still need someone to watch them until they are mature enough to make responsible decisions." Continued...
One trend Phillips adamantly opposed: children having sex as early as 12 years old.
"Kids grow up awfully fast these days," she said. "You should try to have a good relationship with your kids, no matter what they do."
The woman known to the world as Ann Landers died in June 2002. Later that year, the family revealed that Phillips had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. By then Phillips' daughter, Jeanne Phillips, who had helped her mother with the Dear Abby column for years, was its sole author.
Pauline Esther Friedman, known as Popo, was born on Independence Day 1918 in Sioux City, Iowa, 17 minutes after her identical twin, Esther Pauline (Eppie.). Their father was a well-off owner of a movie theater chain. Their mother took care of the home. Both were immigrants from Russia who had fled their native land in 1905 because of the persecution of Jews.
"My parents came with nothing. They all came with nothing," Phillips said in a 1986 Associated Press interview. She recalled that her parents always remembered seeing the Statue of Liberty: "It's amazing the impact the lady of the harbor had on them. They always held her dear, all their lives."
The twins spent their growing-up years together. They dressed alike, they both played the violin, they wrote gossip columns for their high school and college newspapers. They attended Morningside College in Sioux Falls. Two days before their 21st birthday, they had a double wedding. Pauline married Morton Phillips, a businessman, Esther married Jules Lederer, a business executive and later founder of Budget Rent-a-Car. The twins' lives diverged as they followed their husbands to different cities.
The Phillipses lived in Minneapolis, Eau Claire, Wis., and San Francisco, and had a son and daughter, Edward Jay and Jeanne. Esther lived in Chicago, had a daughter, Margo, and in 1955 she applied for and was given the job of writing the advice column. She adopted the existing column's name, Ann Landers.
Pauline, who had been working for philanthropies and the Democratic Party, followed her sister's lead, though she insisted it wasn't the reason for her decision. She arranged for an interview with an editor of the San Francisco Chronicle and presented sample columns, arguing that the paper's lovelorn column was boring. The editors admired her breezy style, and she was hired.
Searching for a name for the column, Pauline chose Abigail from the Bible and Van Buren from the eighth American president. Within a year she signed a 10-year contract with the McNaught Syndicate, which spread her column across the country.
"I was cocky," she admitted in 1998. "My contemporaries would come to me for advice. I got that from my mother: the ability to listen and to help other people with their problems. I also got Daddy's sense of humor." Continued...
Pauline applied for the advice column without notifying her sister, and that reportedly resulted in bad feelings. For a long time they did not speak to each other, but their differences were patched up. In June 2001, the twins, 83, attended the 90th birthday party in Omaha, Neb., of their sister Helen Brodkey.
The advice business extended to the second generation of the Friedmans. Phillips had announced in 2000 that her daughter would share her byline. Her sister's daughter, Margo Howard, wrote an advice column for the online magazine Slate.
Aside from the Dear Abby column, which appeared in 1,000 newspapers as far off as Brazil and Thailand, Phillips conducted a radio version of "Dear Abby" from 1963 to 1975 and wrote best-selling books about her life and advice.
In her book "The Best of Abby," Phillips commented that her years writing the column "have been fulfilling, exciting and incredibly rewarding. ... My readers have told me that they've learned from me. But it's the other way around. I've learned from them. Has it been a lot of work? Not really. It's only work if you'd rather be doing something else."

Two Britons have been killed and two others are in hospital after an horrific hot air balloon crash in Egypt which has claimed a reported 18 lives.
The four Britons were on holiday with tour operator Thomas Cook.
They were among more than 20 people who were in the balloon which exploded at 1,000ft and crashed to the ground in flames in Luxor.
Thomas Cook said: "We are working closely with the Foreign Office and the authorities in Egypt and we can confirm that two of our guests are in local hospitals, but tragically two of our guests have died in the hot air balloon incident in Luxor, Egypt, this morning."
Thomas Cook UK and Europe chief executive Peter Fankhauser said: "What happened in Luxor this morning is a terrible tragedy and the thoughts of everyone in Thomas Cook are with our guests, their family and friends. We have a very experienced team in resort with the two guests in the local hospital, and we're providing our full support to the family and friends of the deceased at this difficult time."
The company said that it was working with local officials and a full investigation would be taking place. The company added: "While this investigation is under way, Thomas Cook UK has temporarily suspended sales of hot air balloon rides in Egypt."
Thomas Cook UK has opened a hotline for concerned relatives who have guests in the resort - 0800 107 5638.
Cherry Tohamy, an Egyptian living in Kuwait who was on holiday in Luxor, was in another balloon which was landing when she heard an explosion and saw flames from a balloon above. She told the BBC: "Our pilot told us that the balloon had hit a high pressure electrical cable and a cylinder on board exploded. People were jumping out of the balloon from about the height of a seven-storey building."
She said ambulances were at the scene within 15 minutes. Other victims are thought to have come from Hong Kong, Japan and France.
The balloon came down in sugar cane fields. Witnesses described hearing a loud explosion before seeing plumes of smoke as the balloon caught fire.
