Classic Chick is a revamp of the GalPal dress that I made for Genesis. A V4 version was requested, so here it is...not the same dress -- I split the skirt/bodice and added a different belt. This dress has V4 morphs only (no Aiko, Girl4, or Stephanie morphs). Usage Rights: Standard -- all renders, commercial included, are A-okay, but please don't redistribute anything in this set without permission. If you'd like to convert Classic Chick for Aiko, Girl4, or Stephanie and distribute it as a freebie, please contact me at DAZ or Renderosity...nic Jan19. You'll have to make your own textures though. Copyright, copyright... :-))) UV Maps are included...see the ReadMe for info. A direct extract to your runtime of choice should work...not responsible for accidents. ;-) Jan « Less

|Really lovely, can't wait to do some textures for it!
|Jan (7 years ago)
|4shared has gotten aggravating, launok, the way they make you wait to download. Usually I can get a download though, even if I do have to wait...but I'm glad you finally got the outfit. :-) Nanette, if Victoria is happy, I'm happy, too! :-) And you're very welcome. Jan
|NanetteTredoux (7 years ago)
|Victoria is delighted, and so am I: thank you so much.
|launok (7 years ago)
|Thank you again Jan, finally got this great 50s style outfit after struggling for quite some time. Thanks for 4Shared link too which was also troublesome. Then I've decided to "open" download and not use "save" option ... and it worked! How odd this is! From now on I must rather open files first, save them afterwards! :))
|Jan (7 years ago)
|You're welcome. :-) Again, thank you all for the comments.
|Arah018 (7 years ago)

|Goldie, I've discovered the joy of Poser dynamics, and I tinkered with DS4 dynamics a bit today. :-) Interesting process! I like the different materials that work so well with dynamics, too. I'll still be glad when I learn to use the DS FSTs though...maybe it'll make converting Genesis clothing to V4 clothing easier. I do like Genesis...but since V4 is still so popular, more …
|Jan (7 years ago)
|Hey, you all. :-) Thanks so much for the comments! :-) Evidently V4 is still going strong. I got caught up in Genesis fever and I assumed everyone else felt the same way. I wish Genesis could be used in Poser, too. I've been a Poser user for a long time now and I'd like to use DS4 in conjunction with Poser...continued...
|Tomokatu (7 years ago)
|Thank you, Jan. I have a whole bunch of 45s ready to play, starting with "Chantilly Lace".
Oh baby, you KNOW what I like!
|templarlover (7 years ago)
|thank you
|spacenewt (7 years ago)
|Thank you so much for making a version of this dress for V4. I was drooling over it but since I'm a poser gal I was quietly sobbing into my drool :-D
|graykeeper (7 years ago)
|I've been trying to work on 1950's scenes for a few months now and I can't thank you enough for this model! Any one else notice there is tons of Poser clothing but very little of it is what normal people would wear? Hmmmmm....
|Jeanette Thompson (7 years ago)
|Lovely dress. V4 will remain popular as long as Genesis doesn't work in Poser (does she? As far as I can tell she's a Daz only character and I can't stand working in that program), so I hope you keep making v4 stuff :)
|launok (7 years ago)
|Thank you again Jan for another great outfit. Somehow I can't download from ShareCG when the files are bigger than about 10 mb or so. Is this dress also available for download at your site?
|MarciaGomes (7 years ago)
|Maravilhoso vestido Jan!!! obrigado
|VuDuDawL (7 years ago)
|What a lovely dress! Thank you for sharing.
|Goldenthrush (7 years ago)
|Don't forget, too, with an obj file, the dress can be made dynamic and be used for just about any figure! :D
|Goldenthrush (7 years ago)
|Aw thank you! Hahah, there's not much hope I'll move on from v4 for a while! Wonderful dress, now I wonder if I can find a poodle for that skirt... :D
|Jan (7 years ago)
|You guys are so nice. Hey, Chris! Long time, no see. And Tallulah...I miss you, dearie. Hi, Operson and JBJDesigns, nice to meet you -- and thank you all for the comments and ratings! :-)
Evidently V4 is still popular, so I guess I need to dust off my "conform for V4" toolset. ;-)
Thanks again, you all. :-)))
|JBJDesigns (7 years ago)
|Gorgeous dress Jan!!!! Thank you so much for sharing! Your designs are awesome! Jo :)
|Dperson (7 years ago)
|Thank you, wonderful dress.

I sighed as I placed yet another load into the washing machine.
I've long given up on trying to figure out how three people, one being a child, are able to produce so much laundry.
It's like the song that never ends. One load in; one out, almost daily.
Separating. Folding. Putting away. Over and over again.
As I stood at the white machine this morning, removing clothes one by one from the hamper to place them in for their weekly washing, I remembered to be grateful for the tasks that do not end.
For one day, they will.
One day, little people will grow up. And taking their laundry with them, there will be less clothing in the wash than there was before. I'll long for the days of grass-stained denim and sweaty Little League shirts and chocolate ice cream with chocolate syrup dripped across faded shirts that are worn over and over again despite a drawer full of new ones because of how loved that one shirt is.
I think about those that are single and how, perhaps, they dream as they do their laundry to one day have another to do such a meaningful task for. For in the dreariness of redundancy, there is beauty in serving others.
In just a few short months, I'll add to my load–both literally and figuratively–with spit-up onesies and other let's not mention it right now types of stains and I know there are women out there longing to see these things in their machines. For their never-ending cycles are far worse than mine–each month to want the one thing they are not getting.
There are many other "never-endings" in my life, but I want to be the woman who relishes in the goodness and security that they provide than to grow bitter that they do not cease.
And so I put one more load in. The hamper stays empty for all of twelve seconds before the socks I told him to make sure weren't left on the floor finally get picked up and put in their proper destination. Right after the load is done.
Yes, the security of those white socks always await me.
And I am happy.
I am blessed.

Discounted Musical and Play Tickets
Live entertainment has an undying charm that has no comparison to it! The vividness of the actors performing, inventive use of props, artistic sets, music and efficient use of lights altogether create an impact that can last a lifetime. The actors performing on stage immerse a connection that is so life like and real giving you a reason to hook up to their stories.
Be it a literary masterpiece by Shakespeare and Bernard Shaw or a folk lore carried forward by the word of mouth, theatric plays and musicals have been an essential of a society. They not only serve as a reflection of a culture but also offer as a platform to reform the social mindsets. The Plays and musicals have been the big voice of many small people as minorities have been using it as their approach of sending across their message. Well if all this society talk is not your cup of tea than Plays and musicals are always a source of pure entertainment.
Musicals like Mamma Mia, Wicked, Color Purple, Hair Spray, Grease, Nutcracker, Riverdance, Phantom of The Opera, Rent and many others have lifted our hearts and spirit with its pep for years. The musicals as the name suggests depend mainly on music and dances to narrate a story. The most celebrated names in the musical production include West End Production and Broadway. The Off Broadway production touring into various parts of the world is yet another popular source of musical productions. Over the years, the musicals have been the basis of many legends artists including great music composers like Lionel Bart, Mel Brooks, Irving Berlin, Elton John, and Andrew Lloyd Webber.
On the other hand, the plays are an intense facade of theatre. The narrative of the play solely depends on the dialogues between characters. There have comical, satirical, tragic, historical and travesty types of plays created by the playwrights. Early history of the theatre implies the presence of plays in culture of Rome, Egypt, Greece, China, and India.
It is practically indispensable to talk about plays and not talk about Shakespeare! He is not just the pioneer of Playwriting but is one of the greatest the world has ever seen. His tragedies like Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Julius Ceasar and Macbeth still have the power to make audience go teary. Many of his plots remain the basis of numerous popular acts of today.
The theatre plays and musicals carry certain magnetism that is certainly not marred by the electronic media. Theatre has the artistic genius that continues to inspire other medium. Our plays and musicals promise an evening of pure fun and entertainment. To get inspired from our diverse collection get your choice of Musical and Play Tickets now!

I am fairly new to the Fool, please be gentle!My husband recently got a new job that puts us in a position to finally start saving, investing and generally be more responsible with our money. Because I'm the one who seems to care, it's become my job to do the investing and make the investment choices for our family.The job he just left had a retirment savings plan that he has to cash out in a lump sum. We'll get taxed as well as pay a 10% penalty. We'll be using that money to open 3 education IRAs for our kids and payoff the remainder of our credit card debt. Anything left from that we might invest in a Roth IRA. Also, we will now have $500-$1000 each month to invest. (it was a BIG raise in pay!)My questions:The new job offers a 401(k) but does not match funds. Are we better off investing in the 401(k) or in a separate IRA where we can use the Foolish 4 and perhaps get a better return? They plan to start matching funds in the future, obviously then it's the better option.Is there any benefit to splitting the max contribution over more than 1 retirement plan (401k, ira, roth) other than being able to self direct a separate account? And finally, we will be opening the education IRAs with the max yearly contribution of $500 each. Thats too little to Foolish 4 with and too little to put in a Vanguard 500 (which I seem to read as the next best option) Does anyone recommend a decent index fund that we could put the money into until it's big enough to withstand the Foolish 4?We will be opening the accounts with either Seibert or Waterhouse, probably Waterhouse, as soon as we cash out the retirement system account.Thanks for your help!GoodJoan

Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE)
RISE involves organisations from the academic and non-academic sectors (in particular SMEs), based in Europe (EU Member States and Associated Countries) and outside Europe (third countries).
Support is provided for the development of partnerships in the form of joint research and innovation activities between the participants. This is aimed at knowledge sharing via international as well as inter-sector mobility, based on two-way secondments of research and innovation staff (exchanges) with in-built return mechanism.
The organisations constituting the partnership contribute directly to the implementation of the joint research and innovation activities by seconding and/or hosting eligible staff members.
The proposed research and innovation activities should exploit complementary competences of the participants, as well as other synergies, and enable networking activities, organisation of workshops and conferences to facilitate sharing of knowledge, new skills acquisition and career development for research and innovation staff members.
Activities can focus either on one dimension of mobility (intersectoral / international), or include a combination of both.
Exchanges can be for both early-stage and experienced researchers' levels and can also include innovators, administrative, managerial and technical staff supporting research and innovation activities of the proposal.
Support for the exchanges between institutions in the EU Member States and Associated Countries covers only inter-sector secondments.
Exchanges with institutions from third countries can be inter-sector secondments as well as secondments within the same sector.
No secondments between institutions located in third countries or within the same EU Member State or Associated Country can be supported.
Publication date: Now open
Deadline: April 5, 2017
Duration: The maximum duration of support will be four years from the starting date specified in the Agreement.
Consortium agreement: Participants in actions resulting from this call are NOT required to conclude a consortium agreement, as the main focus of activities is on staff exchanges.

This is the latest book to be released by Stephen King who has been my favourite author since I started to read books.
Some of his books I have read tended to drag to a certain extent, it felt at times that he was dragging out a story just to get the book talked about as an 'epic read'. Mr Mercedes on the other-hand comes in at a little over 400 pages, which in my option is just the right length, long enough to get really involved in the story, but not too long where you start to get a certain way through and you start to think 'please, just get to the point and finish it'.
The plot summary for this book is quite simple, a retired homicide detective, Bill Hodges, is contacted out of the blue by the perpetrator of one of the few cases which 'got away from him', a case where a lone driver (of unsurprisingly enough a Mercedes) ploughed into a crowd of people who were lining up to try to secure a job in a mid-west down and out town, where employment is hard to come by – eight people were killed that morning and fifteen were injured.
Bill has no idea who this person is, but its soon revealed to us (the readers) that this person is Brady Hartfield, a loner who lives with his alcoholic mother where he spends his days plotting his end-game on a massive scale.
Bill teams up with a number of unlikely friends as he is snapped out his repetitive days of day time TV and thoughts of suicide to try to track down the killer, to try to erase what he sees as the biggest failure of his long career.
There is so much more I would like to write about this book, but in the interests of not revealing any spoilers I will leave it there in terms of plot description (I hope I have said enough to tempt anyone thinking of taking the plunge with this book to give it a go).
One of the biggest things that was made about this book was that its not a 'normal' Stephen King book – i.e. that its not a pure horror-based read. I would agree that in the past Stephen made his name writing pure horror, but over the past few years he seems to have ventured out of that 'box' and has wrote books covering a range of genres – two of his last three books in fact have been 'murder mysteries' (the other being Joyland).
One of the things I liked about this book was the little 'hints' he dropped about what was awaiting the reader further through the book, this is a technique I don't recall him using so excessively in previous books, but it worked really well and made you want to soldier on through the need for sleep just to see what may happen.
Overall I really enjoyed reading this book and since it was release it was revealed that it's the first part of a trilogy and I am keen to see how things progress through the remaining two books.

So here goes.
This story with an innocent text message asking me a simple question "why do you have two Facebook profiles?" Well I don't. I instantly freaked. Long term readers will be aware of the lovely letter I got sent to my work or the twitter profile set up in my daughters name.
I got sent two pictures. As you can see yes there are two profiles of me on Facebook. Well I only have one so who is this other person
Now, most people these days use Facebook on their mobile or tablet. They tend to forget that you can set a URL for your facebook. That little bit right after facebook.com, so https://www.facebook.com/JohnSmith for example.
The kind fellow who sent me these pics was only two helpful in going on to a PC and emailing me the link to this page, as it seemed I had blocked me. Imagine my surprise when I received that link.
Go on click on it before it gets taken down.
If it has already been taken down here is a little pic.I have added some helpful arrow to show you the errors Danny Kissane seems to have made.
So who is Danny Kissane you may ask. Well that is a very good question, well he is a nothing to me. He was the boyfriend of the kid's Godmother many moons ago. He is at best a mediocre DJ that works in The Hippodrome Casino in Leicester Square. He has no baring or consequence on my life.
I dug a little deeper in to this. Why would he go to the trouble of doing this. Well it turns out he had been talking to men, as me. Chatting up / hitting on / flirting with men. Whatever you want to call it, it without a doubt makes the story weirder, he has a girlfriend and as far as I know he is not gay. I don't know how many men but I want to truly apologise to the girlfriends of them men that may have got hurt during this. I suppose I should apologise to the men, you have been well and truly catfished.
A catfish is someone who pretends to be someone they're not using Facebook or other social media to create false identities, particularly to pursue deceptive online romances.
So are all these things linked. The letter, the twitter account the facebook. Well I can't prove they are. But if there are we have one sick individual on our hands. If they are not it is still a disturbing concept.
So what next. Well the police have all these details. I have reported the page as fake. If you are friends with said page please remove it.
Please take this tale of caution and beware that things on the internet are not all the seem. Keep in mind that there are some nasty, vindictive people out there.

SMC vs. Calvin, Adrian
Belles Fall to #16 Knights, Beat Bulldogs
Calvin Box Score (pdf)
Adrian Box Score (pdf)
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- The Saint Mary's College volleyball team split a pair of conference matches on Saturday.
In their opening match of the day, the Belles dropped a 3-0 (25-14, 25-13, 25-12) to AVCA #16 Calvin College. Lorna Slupczynski and Kaela Hellmann both had seven kills to lead the Belles. Ellen Huelsmann had a team-high 13 digs in the loss.
The Belles turned right around after their first match against Calvin to face Adrian College in Grand Rapids. Saint Mary's came out with a purpose and found a way to gain an edge to avenge a loss earlier this season to the Bulldogs by a 3-0 (25-22, 25-23, 29-27) margin.
Slupczynski, Hellmann, and Cathy Kurczak combined to have just as many kills (38) as the Bulldogs did as a team. Slupczynski led the way with 20 kills while Kurczak added 10 and Hellmann had eight. Danie Brink had a match-high 38 assists while Ellen Huelsmann had a match-high 20 digs.
The Belles (11-5, 4-3 MIAA) will host Trine University on Wednesday, October 1 at 7:00 p.m.

Was this history's worst woman?
42 comments:
How did you come to know about her? I'm curious because I'm from Ukraine and I know about her. Have you read Pavlo Zagrebelniy's novel or watched a famous TV series of 1997?ReplyDelete

I finished Harem a month ago, and I STILL find myself thinking about Hurrem and HATING her! She was so, so evil! Oh, man, and how she rendered the Sultan spineless...ReplyDelete
You did a great job of writing a book that made me have intense, long-standing emotions! Well done!Replies

Hey, if you can find this TV Series with english subtitles, The Magneficent Century, buy it watch it, its pretty long, but you would definitely appreciate Hurrem's cunning in those series. For her, life was all about the survival of the fittest, and she was pretty fit to not just survive but to rule as well... Don't hate her, because she might have done some terrible things, but she did great things in a world of men :)Delete
Oh my gosh, loved this post and I simply must read Harem, especially after reading Mydndi comment. I have read many books on the Tudors and it was interesting to read this in comparison. It boils down to your poor men just don't always mack the right choices! :)ReplyDelete
Ah yes, beware the intelligent and ambitious woman. She'll whip your butt and make you like it.ReplyDelete
Loved this.
Fascinating, Colin! I hadn't heard of her. I too am curious to read Harem now.ReplyDelete
Hi Colin, I've finished reading Harem and Seraglio and I adored both books. Couldn't stop reading them.ReplyDelete
This post on Roxelana is perfect for History and Women. I would love it if you would repost it there and I can add my reviews to it. Please let me know.
Finished reading Harem a few months ago. This woman makes me cringe till today. Shall keep the book away from my wife!ReplyDelete
Wow! Well, after reading that, I'm hooked. I've added Harem to my list of books I want for Christmas. If the book is half as interesting as the history behind it, I'm sure I'm going to have a tough time putting it down.ReplyDelete
(Myndi's comment helped too. I love to hear from people who've already read a book.)
Colin, this book is one of my favorites of yours. I've never thought of Hurrem as being a bad person, but every bit a woman of her times. Remember, she was forced into harem life and made the best life a slave could for herself. She was clever to win and keep Suleiman's heart, and secure her children's interests. While she is guilty of many sins, I've always admired Hurrem's strength.ReplyDeleteReplies
I too admired her strength and cunning. While she did do many cruel things to many people, she was just trying to survive being enslaved.Delete
yeah so go kill and burn innocent people's faces, cut off their heads just coz you want to survive enslavement and call that strong?! True she was cunning and clever, but she was a greedy power hungry evil witch/bitch, and people who admire her are sick.Delete
- AnonymousMarch 29, 2017 at 8:13 PM
You mausnt think that. Hurrem did many sins and several murders but she did it out of love for suleyman, a need for survival, and a strong cunning mind. You must have a level of respect for this amazing woman.Delete
Thank you for this blog post on Hurrem. It is well composed. To the author and readers - there is a a portion that is inaccurate from the MANY sources and research I've conducted about Hurrem. I've never heard of Hurrem throwing out his harem women. A sultan years after sulleyman did - in a night of craziness- he drowned them in sacs in the Bosphorus. This was not sulleyman.Delete
Hurrem herself was captured from modern day Ukraine & was sold as a slave. She was attacked MANY MANY times by other women / help. She was beaten , burned etc. (sources from Readings of leslie pierce- researcher of women of Ottoman Empire
She was very smart & used her skills to navigate the harem hierarchy & to protect her children.
I don't know who we are to judge someone's actions 450 -500 yrs later bc none of us were captured and sold as a Slave.
One thing is evident. Her love for Sulleyman was her driving force to survive and thrive. What human doesn't want to succeed? She definitely changed the politics of the harem & her actions (whether out of revenge / protection or for securing her own safety) were monumental in terms of history. She used the Limited & protected means of communication outside of
The harem in clever ways. She marked
A Change and set a "bar" for her "daughter in law" and those afterwards all the way to Kosem Sultan (Sultan Ahmed's favorite -- Sulleyman's son sultan Selim had a son Sultan mehmed who had several sons - sultan Ahmed was the eldest at the time so he became Sultan & did not commit fraticide).
Whether a person views Hurrem as cruel or sneaky is not the point. It is what she accomplished in an environment that was truly set against everything she ended up accomplishing!
Well said. I agree completely. Madevaroh, I felt was much more evil than Hureem..that is when she wasn't crying. I couldn't stand her. I have read many, many books about the Sultan and Hurrem. Nothing I read agrees with Colin.Delete
I've got to read that book--I've always been interested in all things Tudor, so your review has piqued my interest. Thanks!ReplyDelete

Actually, Roxelana was known for her countless charities. She created numerous mosques, one of the first women's hospitals (located next to a women's slave market for easy access for those less fortunate) and a soup kitchen.ReplyDelete
Let me tell you this, as the saying goes, there are only 2 kinds of woman, goddess and door mat, and she was a goddess. The reasons, she was smart, funny, and had true love, unlike others. So you go figure! I have a question, how many people in the world do you think even know what true love is and know how to love, only %2. Is like a language you need to learn it, but she knew it naturally.ReplyDelete
According to you who are the evil people or worst woman in this world of all time? Please send me the whole list from past few years to till now.ReplyDelete
I personaly hate that book - I have to admit, ottoman history is my soft spot and it's not about Roxelana or any from her more powerful and fabulous (sic!) sucessors. It's because of the Falconer's ignorance when it comes to history. Story of a mischievious sultana who destroyed the empire on her own may sound fine, but it's simply not true. Sorry, but those are the facts...ReplyDelete
I see her as a women who wanted to survive. Am sure no one is innocent of their doing back in the Harem were authority was left to the enuch. I feel she was mistreated and from that and the law of memhmet the conquerer making it ok to kill all brother who are a threat to the throne. I honestly would've hoped to be half as smart as she was. She wanted her children to survive and to make sure no one got in her way !!!!!ReplyDelete
Hmmm, not even Turks paint such a demonic picture of this woman. The writer should educate himself about how hard was (and still is, particularly in Muslim world) to be a woman, not to mention starting out as a slave ( hello?!). This woman was an incredible social reformer (public schools, public baths, political influence...). It is hard to imagine how she did all this in those times - practically without being able to leave the house. Whatever, her skills were: survival, wisdom, patience, love for her family.... I want them all. Sure can be used anywhere, any time.ReplyDelete
Wow, just, wow. Sure, blame the woman for doing what she had to survive. Cast aspersions on her character based of thousands of years old rumors? Vilify her for inspiring Suleiman to be monogamous? Accuse her of grasping for power? Textbook misogyny. Roxelena may have done some distasteful things in her life, but she was a product of her time, and no worse than any other women in the Sultan's harem.ReplyDelete
Additionally, your parallels between Roxelana and the Boleyn sisters is ridiculous. While these women may have been contemporaries, they were in very different situations. The Boleyn sisters weren't slaves, and had the option of leaving Henry's court should they choose to. Roxelana didn't have that option. She was a foreigner in a strange country making the best of her situation.
Also, vilification of Anne Boleyn? Really? Sure. Blame the woman who wanted to marry someone who would be loyal to her, not the man who cheated on her and beheaded her.
Additionally, Roxelana is really the worst woman in history that you can come up with? Take a look at Elizabeth Bathory, who literally murdered hundreds of young peasant women to obtain eternal youth.

The Indiana Pacers looked very dominant once again vs the Atlanta Hawks, showcased by some impressive dunking from two of their players – first Roy Hibbert with a vicious posterizing over Ivan Johnson for the And-1, while Gerald Green showed for the millionth time how much hops he has in his legs, coming off the bench to decimate Josh Smith. More
Gerald Green never really impressed with anything but his athletics skills. Too raw of a talent to come out straight from highschool, being the 18th pick in the 2005 NBA Draft. Now with the New Jersey Nets, Green, who made his return to the NBA this season, pulled off an incredible Alley-Oop dunk, better than anything else anyone has pulled off this season so far. More

Carol Singing School
A few of these songbooks became famous, notably The Sacred Harp (1844). This songbook used a system of notation that used shapes to represent the relative intervals of notes. These were then sung in the "Fa So, La" scale. It sounds complicated, but the underlying idea was that regular people could learn to sing hymns in three and four part harmony.
The fact that there are "Sacred Harp" and "Shape Note" singing groups still in existence suggests they were on to something. If you go to a one of these "sings" you will notice that the singers are not arranged like a choir; instead they sit in a hollow square formation with each section facing the middle. There is no audience, only congregation. These sings often take place over a whole day with the singers breaking for dinner on the grounds. You can get a sense of this tradition from the trailer to the amazing documentary Awake My Soul.
Christmas seemed like the perfect time to introduce this experiment. This Sunday we held our first Carol Singing School. We had about 25 adults stay after church for a pot luck lunch and then Libby (my wife and personal choir director) led us through Silent Night, O Come All Ye Faithful, Hark the Herald Angels Sing and (by special request) Angels We have Heard on High. We will be singing these carols next weekend -- it will be interesting to see if we can hear any harmonies coming from the congregation.
The participants expressed their enjoyment so I think we can say that the Easter Singing School will be coming our way before too long.
There has been plenty of singing already this Advent. Here is the congregation singing Come Thou Long Expected Jesus on December 4. The thumping noise is my right foot and the awesome fiddling is thanks to Mary Kettering (no one used microphones).
Merry Christmas!

BROCKTON - A tip led investigators to the arrest of Michael Hand, 61, of North Carolina, for the murder of 15-year-old Tracy Gilpin of Kingston. Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz declined to identify who called in the tip leading to the cold case arrest from the October 1986 murder. Cruz said Hand was not previously named as a suspect in the crime.
Gilpin's body was found in Myles Standish State Forest three weeks after she disappeared.
Hand placed himself at the scene where her body was found but at one point blamed the crime on Henry Meinholz, convicted murdered of 13-year-old Melissa Benoit, also of Kingston. Meinholz died in prison in 2000.
Hand is being held without bail and due back in court April 13 for a probable cause hearing.

How to speed up your iPhone 3G running iOS4
July 7th, 2010
Daniel Eran Dilger
Many users with an iPhone 3G have found their phone almost unusably slow after upgrading to the latest iOS 4. If you're suffering with a slow phone, here's something that's worked for a lot of people: a cold hard reboot. And turn off Spotlight search.
Simply doing a normal shutdown and restart of the iPhone doesn't seem to have any real effect, as the iPhone shuts down to a disk image. In other words, a normal restart (pressing and holding the top sleep/wake button until you get the red slider, then sliding it to turn the phone off, and then turning it back on again) just puts you right back to where you were.
In order to force the iOS to rebuild (a step that seems to optimize a variety of things), you have to press and hold the Sleep/Wake button along with the Home button for about ten seconds, which will kill the phone and initiate a reboot.
When it turns back on, it will take a while to boot. My iPhone 4 boots from a cold death in about 30 seconds, but when I did the same to an iPhone 3G, it spent more than four minutes on the Apple logo startup screen before I was returned to the Home screen.
One this happens however, you should notice that things are better optimized and far more usable. Of course, the iPhone 3G hardware is a lot more limited in terms of processing power and available memory, but doing a cold boot after upgrading to iOS 4 at least seems to make it a lot more functionally usable.
Turn off Spotlight Search for a bigger, long term boost
Another tip submitted by readers: turn off Spotlight search indexing. From Settings/ General/ Home Button/ Spotlight search, turn search indexing off for as many items as possible. This reduces the overall workload of the system, so it appears to give an overall performance boost that is significant.
Let me know what you experience in the comments below.
First Power On Self Test.
[That was pretty clever – Dan]
Great tip. Two things:
1. This "forced rebuild" helps with crashes and unexpected reboots too. My iPhone 3G running iOS 4 was never slow in the first place, but it was crashy. This fixed it—and no settings were lost or changed. A harmless procedure.
2. FWIW, someone on Apple's boards said to keep holding both buttons down even after the reboot begins, causing the phone to shut off totally (and then you just turn it back on by holding the sleep button). Someone else said to try more than one "forced rebuild" if the first fails. I only needed one myself, but I thought I'd throw these suggestions out there.
That seemed to help a little bit so far. I hope it improves scrolling speed in all apps. Thanks.
My 3G was very slow, and is now much improved.
The reset took 2.5 minutes. For laughs I did it again, which took about 2 minutes. I'm not bored enough to do it a third time :P
Am I the only one that doesn't get the "Sim Locked" screen after forcing a hard boot?
Thanks for the tip. My iPhone 3G was unbearably slow , so hopefully this works.
Trying it now. Mine has been awfully slow with a lot of crashes since the update. I hope this improves things. I'll report back later.
This could only make things worse. You are forcing your iPhone to shut down uncleanly and this could just cause more trouble. If you want to really make a difference Restore the iPhone 3G in iTunes ONLY AFTER YOU HAVE SYNCED ALL IMPORTANT DATA TO YOUR COMPUTER. Then after the restore set your iPhone up as a NEW PHONE. DO NOT RESTORE FROM BACK UP. Then re sync all of your info back to the phone. Doing this will delete your texts and possibly 3rd party app data but it's much cleaner than doing a "hard reset". I understand this is a much more destructive way to fix this as far as your settings are concerned but will definitely help more than the "hard reset" which is just a temporary fix at best.
[Well remember than the iOS was designed to handle a hard shutdown. It's not exactly Windows 95. – Dan]
http://Www.bitburn.org bitburn
Cool, I'll try that now. But once this is done, doesn't the device memory get filled up again, making the phone slow again after a while?!
Just wondering. Thanks.
[I haven't looked closely at what's going on, but I'm assuming that the boot process cleans stuff up in a way that optimizes the OS for the hardware. This apparently does not happen when you do an upgrade to any existing system. Report back if the problem doesn't last for long. The next update might also tighten up things a bit – Dan ]
That's weird, my phone came up and said "please run 'chkdsk c:' and reboot". I have a boot floppy, does anyone have a USB floppy drive?
Thanks for the tip!
I was planning on doing what Marlow is suggesting. I will give this a try first.
: )
I tried this cold reboot (twice in a row as recommended by somebody somewhere) last week. It did improve my 3G's speed for a while but after a couple of days it was back to occasional freezes in Safari and apps sometimes crashing at startup. I have now gone for the restore to factory defaults and rebuild/sync from scratch option, good so far. Fingers crossed.
Incidentally I thought I'd try the same basic restore with my iPod Touch 1st gen which is still on iPhone OS 2.1 – the responsiveness is now phenomenal. It jumps from screen to screen quicker than my iPhone 3G running v3.
The benefit of a poor broadband connection!
When I updated my iPhone3G I ended up having to effectively do this reboot as my broadband service has been so poor for the last year or so that virtually every update I try and download ends up with file corruption. This is what happened with the iOS4 update which effectively bricked my iPhone3G.
Afte removal of the corrupted iPhone update file and re-download at work I was able to rescue the iPhone3G but had to restore it from backup – the resulting 3G with iOS4 was much snappier than before with 3.1.3. However I've subsequently upgraded to iPhone4 and sold the old 3G. For any UK customers wishing to do this I'd recommend checking out Carphone Warehoue's trade-in deal. You just need to enter your IMEI number and they'll give you a quote – got £184 from my 3G (over £40 more than O2 were offering).
As for the broadband issue, an engineer is visiting this weekend to try and get to the source of the problem (can't believe how much I pay Virgin Media each month for such a crappy service).
My time to shine…
OK. After all the issues I've had with iOS4.0 on my 3G I've come up with the following top tips:
1: If you're getting a lot of crashes (i.e. "Black Screen Of Death) or freezing, it's best to reinstall the OS from iTunes. If the problem seems no better following the reinstall, do it again. It can take a number of reinstalls for it to "take."
2: If the phone is crashing/freezing about once a day the hard reset is your best option. This should restore performance at the expense of an unusually long reboot time.
However, in my experience, iOS4.0 will start to freeze/crash/run dog slow again in a couple of days. Hopefully my experience is unique but, if not, your only option is to keep hard resetting the device if the lagging and freezing gets too annoying. Not a great solution and an especially poor work-around for an Apple product but there you go. You could buy an iPhone 4.0 like I'm, sadly, going to do but I'll understand if the expense makes you baulk at the idea.
Just be thankful they didn't put wallpapers on or it might take ten minutes to open the calculator.
Hard resets certainly helped my 3G. Been comparing it with the wife's 3.1.x 3G with apps like the built-in camera and photo album. Now mine even matches or beats hers.
It will be interesting to see how long this lasts however. Don't mind hard resetting it every week, but a few times a day would be annoying.
Hopefully this is a software bug that will get fixed!! If I wanted to reboot every damn day, I'd buy Windows.
I'm guessing it's a memory leak.
I was pretty patient with iOS4 installation on my 3G, mainly because I was blogging while my 3GS was upgrading and became quickly aware of the problems users were getting on the 3G and some good suggestions to prevent them.
It's slightly slower in places, but strangely better in other surprising areas (like X-Plane Flight Simulator runs smoother and better!). Folders is the big win, and I can now control bluetooth headset volume from the handset itself in addition to the headset.
Oh, and before anyone asks, my 3G will be taking up duties as data store for my musical apps – Line 6 amp settings, MIDI files for composed multi-track songs, guitar effects and synthesizer / sequencer patches, and as earlier generation an Ipod Touch…
Immediately after reboot the phone responds much faster.
I have checked the list of processes with their memory footprints and there is no visible difference before and after reboot. The daemons for unused features, like bluetooth, eat up real memory.
This makes me wonder what happens when you make a "cold" reboot…
I installed iOS on my iPhone 3GS shortly after backing up purchased Apps. It didn't require a re-boot and seemed to be working OK. Then it just totally died. I re-booted by pressing the big button and the sleep button.
Now everything seems to be working as usual, but sometimes slightly faster.
http://@jenATL jenATL
This made a WORLD of difference on my 3G. Hope it lasts.
Many many thanks for sharing this!

Sorry Marlowe but you're wrong. This is something Apple includes as part of its troubleshooting regime and we're not talking about last resort things here we're talking about one of the first options.
If it was so bad Apple wouldn't recommend it until the very last resort when everything's gone pear-shaped.
As for this suggestion it seems to work perfectly for me. I tested it using Bento which the the app I use the most on my iPhone and given the large amount of data it was a hell of a lot quicker than just after the upgrade.
I don't suppose anyone else is getting problems with the calendar app? I'm getting disappearing entries and it won't let me add new ones over where the old one was to fix it. MobileMe, not exchange.
@ShabbaRanks: you probably have inconsistent sync data with mobileme. You can get free support online if you go to apple.com/support and on the left hand side select MobileMe from the drop down menu. Then scroll to the bottom and select troubleshooting sync issues and keep clicking on things until a "chat with MobileMe rep" comes up.
As far as my earlier comment I posted I still stand by it. @lowededwookie you're right that my recommendation is more of an "all else fails" effort but the title of the article/discussion is how to speed up your 3G and this will do it better than anything else recommended here. Let's be honest the 3G's processor and memory are lacking when it comes to running the iOS 4 software efficiently. You want it running as clean as possible and the way to do this is by restoring the phone in iTunes, setting it up as a new phone, and SYNCING your data back to the phone. I've personally never seen any official Apple documentation recommending this hard reset to speed up the iphone's OS. I'll be honest I don't know much at all about the inner workings of the iOS 4 software but I do know from experience that forcing a hard reset on the iPhone is a way of getting things working when they were not but it is not a magic clean up. The hard reset is a 2nd or 3rd step in the troubleshooting process. However, if you want to optimize the iPhone 3G with iOS 4 then give the steps i listed above a shot.
http://www.lowededwookie.com lowededwookie
Nope, because I did that when I upgraded and it caused it to be slow.
The method Dan shows actually made it work better not the one you're suggesting.
Anyway, getting an iPhone 4 when it gets released here in New Zealand soon… whenever soon may be.
@ Marlowe,
Thanks for the info. Fortunately I don't require support for it as I've enough expertise to rectify it myself. The info was useful though.
I was just wondering if anyone here had had an issue with the cal app, that's all.
My solution has been to close all Safari tabs before quitting it and today I found out that clearing the safari cache also helps.
To quote Stephen Fry:
"At the extremes humans can love or hate. I have raved, screamed, shrieked and cursed when my iPhones, Macs, iPods, Airport base units and Apple TVs have betrayed me, let me down. I expect so much of them. But it is nothing to the venomous fury, disbelieving rage and overmastering contempt that floods my being when attempting to get function, sense and use out of a Windows, especially a Vista machine."
I love visiting here for the substantiated insights and the respectful, spirited comments! I feel a real sense of community and I just wanted to add my findings after trying Daniel's suggested procedure.
I have an iPhone 3Gs 16GB with 74 apps and 10.8GB free. I didn't use a stopwatch but pressing and holding [Home] + [Sleep] seemed to initiate the process in fewer than ten seconds – more likely 4-5 secs. My 3Gs was up and running again very quickly: about 20 seconds.
I tried the rebuild due to one specific app: textfree by Pinger. Pre-rebuild scrolling through message threads was lethargic. I had to press and *hold briefly* then start sliding to initiate a scroll. After the rebuild scrolling is definitely more responsive (flicking the screen works again) but still slightly balky.
I have zero familiarity with the internal workings of iOS but thought I'd mention: remember to Sync before attempting any troubleshooting! Better safe than sorry, right? :-)
First background on my iphone, I have a 3Gs with 32GB. I am using just under half of the 32GB of space availible. (Apps, music, etc) Prior to upgrading to iOS4 my phone worked fine with no issues. After upgrading to iOS4 my phone has been buggy and laggy to the point of crashing when using every app (this includes apples apps mind you!) at least once per day. I have done both soft and hard reboots. I wiped and then reloaded the OS all to no avail. I have over 20+ years in the IT field as well as troubleshooting /electronics and programming experience so I'm no noob when it comes to knowing my way around devices and how to fix them or their OS's..
I downgraded the phone to the previous release OS3.1 and have gone back to having no issues with the phone.
Until apple gets their act together and releases a fix for OS4 I'll stick with the previous release. I wont bother saying I expected better because honestly I didn't. Apple is no better than any other company out there, they are releasing subpar software and equipment just like the rest. The OS was probably coded in Chinia to boot..
Thanks for the suggestion… I force-restarted, and things did run a bit faster for a while, but gradually became glacial again. I would tap the screen and wait 5-10 seconds for anything to happen, so I just downgraded back to 3.1.3. Ah well, time for an iPhone 4…
I don't note any improvement. And I did note a sharp degradation when I upgraded. Which I kind of wish I had not done. Can I go back?
http://Www.bitburn.org bitburn
Go back you can indeed. Follow the link below. I did and rolled back to 3.1.3.
Slightly off topic but yesterdays Apple press conference about was much more the behaviour I expect from Apple. They explained the issues well, pointed out why they consider it to be a minor issue at best and are going out of their way to provide cases for iPhone 4 users when they really don't have to.
This kind of reply to "controversy" is what Apple should be doing, not banging out one sentence emails about how people are over-reacting.
I was unlucky enough to be watching the cnet feed of the conflab and saw, live, that the "journalists" there were really disappointed that Apple had only announced free cases and not a recall and redesign. They were also strangely preoccupied with how Apple "needs them" as tech journos.
Watching that feed made me realise that this antenna furore is manufactured specifically to put Apple in it's place. Tech journos are prepared to kill their own grannies to push Apple to announce a redesign and recall. Even the BBC are getting in on the act which disappointed me. Their recent interest peice on how to return your mobile phone was obvious and depressing.
The issue is obviously real but there's no way it's affecting as many people as the media are making out.
Quick tip Steve: Journos/Saddos are sending you email to get a rise out of you and then publish it on their shitty blog. Be slightly more careful with what you're emailing out.
Anyway.. Had to get that out of my system.

This whole iOS 4 thing on my 3G, its Apple's Vista.
http://wanderbook.com eddieclay
After a full restore as a new phone: has been working like new for a week.
This helped my 3G a lot. Thanks!!
I was in the habit of shutting the phone off once every day (just holding down the top button and sliding to shut it down, then starting it up again) before the iOS4 upgrade, which seemed to keep it speedy, but that wasn't effective anymore after the upgrade.
Doing the hard reset once, and turning off a bunch of Spotlight search options helped a ton, but it degraded again after a few days. Shutting off / on again seems to have helped again today.
So for me, the one hard reset seems to have done the trick, but the off / on habit every day also seems necessary.
My 16GB 3G is still noticeably slower than a friend's 32GB 3G. He has way fewer Apps, and all his are free (arguably less intensive than many of mine).
Sorry Daniel / People, couldn't wait for this article to be revisited in the wake of iOS4.1 being made available.
My 3G, which I was well-pleased with even after the 4.0 upgrade, just got even better. Runs much faster, crisper and snappier after the 15 – 20 minute upgrade.
As a plus, my Plantronics Voyager 855 Stereo bluetooth headset just acquired the (full) AVRCP feature of NEXT / PREVIOUS selection via the Volume up / Down buttons, and I am over the moon!

So now I am again visiting the Netherlands for the research and talks I mentioned earlier. I have been at the University of Twente visiting the Information Systems and Change Management (IS & CM) department, which is where I gave my talk, yesterday. It is quite interesting because when Elfi invited me I at first wasn't sure how my research on Facebook would be relevant to the work she and her colleagues are doing, but actually, there is a surprising amount of overlap in the questions we are investigating. So the talk went well and also helped me to further refine my thinking about how participation in Facebook is affecting professional, in this case specifically scholarly communities.
A couple of points on that:
- Communication on Facebook leads to a greater feeling of co-presence (basically the feeling of being with someone) and it assuges the discomfort of asence (the feeling that we exist only in the process of communication, so we are always flickering in and out of existance). So, when academics get to know each other via Facebook, they may connect more quickly and more solidly–though this of course depends on how they use it, which leads to the next point.
- This increased connection seems linked to a more playful use of Facebook in which people allow the border between the personal/casual and the professional/formal to blur. Of course that makes sense; if we think someone is being more casual and personal, we feel we are seeing a more authentic self, that we know them better. In fact, slightly inappropriate behavior adds to this because we assume it is less calculated. I mean, who would behave in a way that was professionally inappropriate on purpose? (Of course this could be equally calculated, but I think most people don't imagine others treat every online action as if it were a move in a game of chess).
- But even if someone is not deliberately offering an image that is somehow distorted, distortion is inevitable because no one can put every detail that might be observed by somone physically proximal into a facebook page (or into a blog, or homepage, or what have you). So people always must choose what to include.
- Possibly Facebook feel more authentic though (and maybe it actually is) because when someone is addressing several different audiences–close friends, family, colleagues, other communities to which she belongs, she cannot address all of them at once. So some actions or posts or status updates are aimed more at one group or another, but everyone may see them. So it may be that Facebook does offer a more rounded or more integrated picture. But as privacy controls improve and as more people use them to filter the content the present to each group, this complete picture maybe be fragmented–hard to predict.
So those are some of the ideas I am thinking about, and now the question is how to gather data on them, since most facebook profiles are closed to non-friends, but I can hardly make any claims based only on what I see my own friends doing.
So, back to the visit; I had two very nice dinners, first at De Kater, where I had some amazing salmon stuffed with shrimp, and the next night at Sam Sam, where I had duck breast that was quite good too. While at Sam Sam I also tried a drink that combined beer and Sprite, and that was a little weird, but ok.
Silly to mention the food in the middle, but it was very good…. Anyway, I met a lot of nice people in the IS & CM department who are all working on interesting stuff. I won't put all the individual links in with the names; they can be found through the department page linked above. But I enjoyed speaking at length with Bjorn Kijl, Michel Ehrenhard, Romana Aziz, Roland Muller, and of course Elfi. Also I had a very interesting talk with the head of the department, Jos van Hillegersberg, and I spoke a lot with Celeste Wilderom who was also hosting me at her house. Everyone has statements about their research on their homepages, though I'm not sure it's all up to date, but anyway, some of them are looking at social networks in ways that relate to my work with Facebook, and some lokk at organizational change and communication, among other things. That actually has some connections to my other project on the institutionalization of new media in the Netherlands. I am looking at new media groups rather than business, but many of the issues are similar, particularly because now ICTs have such a strong effect on everything.
Staying with Celeste was a treat–she has a very nice house! But also, it was my first time to stay in in a family house and so I went with her to drop off her daughters at school and got to see a bit of Dutch family life. This post has grown quite long now, so I will end it here. I about an hour I go to the train station to make my journey back to Rotterdam. Hopefully when I return I can get my stupid chipcard sorted out (I managed to foul it up again) and I will have a chance to upload some pictures. –So the posts here will get a bit out of sequence as I back up to add those.

Also, with the box still intact): ipod ipod touch iphone wii xbox 360 ...I am not looking for pics on the net already because some nosey person may try and search to see if the pics are real or not. I'll pay $20 through paypal for this litte service once I do what I intend on doing on my end. If interested PM me. Thanks

Today's (18.104.22.168) release of the NetRemote Designer comes with a new Device Manager gallery. This will allow you to drop controls onto a CCF page that are hooked into the Girder Device Manager system. Currently only a slider is supported but more controls are on their way.
- Open the NRD (NetRemote Designer) and create a new CCF
- Save this CCF for example DMTEST.CCF
- Navigate to the Home CCF panel
- Right click on the actual panel on the right.
- Select "Add Component from Gallery"
- Once the next dialog opens click "Load Gallery" and find the "FlatStyle.gal", load this.
- On the left you'll see Device Manager, open that node.
- You'll see the Device Manager Slider next. Select the 0-100 kind
- On the right hand side you'll now see 'Device' and 'Control'. These refer to the actual Device Manager Device and Control we are trying to manipulate.
- If NetRemote is talking to Girder correctly you'll find that the drop down list already has your devices listed for example: chrome\ZWave\New ZWave Controller!2\Level
- Note that this string contains both the Device (chrome\ZWave\New ZWave Controller!2) and the control (Level) so we'll manually have to split that up for now
- Device = chrome\ZWave\New ZWave Controller!2
- Control = Level
- Ask below if you have trouble finding these names and note that they are case sensitive!
- Click OK, save you GML and Send the Interface to NetRemote. Voila you should now have control over that device.
This is the first release of these components more are on the way give us your feedback!
