While previous iPad releases have seen riots and need for police on call in China, the latest iPad went on sale in Beijing calmly last week because many already owned the new device due to illegal smuggling from Hong Kong.
The official reason you'll hear about as to why there were no queues to buy the new iPad, is that Apple put in an ordering and reservation system online, to try and prevent a repeat of last time's incidents at the latest release.
The unofficial and perhaps inevitable reason as to why there was no rush by the Chinese to buy The New iPad on Friday, was because it has been smuggled into the country. 200,000 iPads have been taken into China over the border illegally in the last four months, according to Reuters on video report, which calculates to over 1,500 a day.
People travel to Hong Kong and pay a lower price of US$500 for an iPad, whereas in mainland China the latest model will set you back US$580. Customers make one stop on their return journey at Sheung Shui before customs, so they can pack away the new iPads and then cross the border back into China, paying no duty on any of the tablets, therefore taking them into the country illegally.
The New iPad was released in China four months after it was put into stores in Australia meaning that the dedicated customers who would have originally rushed to buy the new iPad, already knew everything about it's features. The element of the unknown was removed, which is usually upheld for so long by Apple and often plays a part in so many of the products' appeal.

I get stressed easily, being highly sensitive and having had several nervous breakdowns...my tolerance to stress is just not what it used to be.
We can have stress or anxiety for several reasons. Maybe your concern about the new person in your life is causing you stress, and if you offered them some help, it might ease your tension.
Otherwise, meditate and see where the stressors are coming from. Also do relaxing techniques every day, like taking a hot shower or bath, burning candles and/or incense, relaxing to a good book or movie, or simply writing about it, like you've done above.
Depending on many internal and external factors, our stress levels fluctuate. Pay attention to yourself and your needs and you should safely ride the wave

I actually don't have a none stressful moment it seems like anymore except when I meditate. Even when things seems reasonable quite I wonder why is it so quite. Lol. What are they up to. Lol. I know there is always quite before the storm. I have had a very stressful summer it seems. I will be glad when things get back to normal but I don't remember "normal" .
Could it be the change of seasons that is bothering you ?
It seems he's on your mind because you haven't heard from him and you know he's going through a lot which means maybe you're worried about him so your subconsciously taking on his stress to relieve him a little. Maybe touch base with him amd see how he's doing. Even if he doesn't dump on you maybe knowing he's ok will help?

@nikki, if I am subconsciously taking in his stres, we'll then that man is really stressed out! Lol. I almost can't breathe sometimes. I spent today not trying to think about him and focus on work and I started to feel better. I did feel from time to time stressed for no reason, but then i caught myself thinking about him lol. My other friend has been stressing me out past few weeks and I almost couldn't even talk to her today without wanting to pass out from the stress. So I just couldn't even talk to her anymore.
I feel better now, and thank you to everyone.
I'm sorry you've been feeling stressed. I've noticed that also. Its general. I feel this tension in the air while driving to work. I feel it at work. There is rarely that time when it lessens. Its constant. I've heard its related to the higher frequencies in the shift. It used to be in waves but now its constant. Hang in there and shield as best you can.

The Door Scene
Catch a glimpse of some future movie directors and actors. The guidelines given were:
A person is about to open a door. The person hears a sound and becomes mildly concerned. The person finds the door locked and searches for his or her keys. The person hears the sound again and becomes visibly apprehensive.As the filmmaker, your goal is to build tension and growing panic, using any visual element or device that you can think of. The film closes with the person finally opening the door and getting to the other side safely. Communicate to the audience the character's feeling of relief and safety.

Podcast Reviews from iLearn
A sample from Katya.
The best of the the best will be uploaded to the iLearn podcast on iTunes.
ePortfolio Soft Launch
Student ePortfolios are now available to all students via Google Apps under Sites. Students can fill out class and personal information, embed teacher websites, and most importantly display and share some of their best pieces of school form throughout the school year.
A sample of Powtoon used on the Grade 5 website.
Google Apps Video Creation via WeVideo
A sample of student work form Mrs. Vergel's Grade 6 Science class. Video produced online with WeVideo connected via Google Apps.
One of the many apps that can connect to Google Drive is WeVideo.
Here is some advice from Mrs. Vergel:
WeVideo feedback notes, not necessarily in order of importance.
Initially, we had some issues with opening the app.
WeVideo files are saved on an individual's drive (a folder is created for this by the app). It is possible to share the work in progress with the teacher. Teacher can edit the video when shared, so best to leave it alone if you are the teacher.
When the shared work in progress is uploaded and published, it is not automatically shared with the original people. It has to be shared with the original people.
Photos that have no permission to be uploaded from the web will not be there. Make sure to use Creative Commons material or open/free material.
Sometimes the photos seem to get lost in cyberspace and all the work seems to be gone. Waiting and refreshing usually works.
Setting the work to Timeline (Advanced) allows the user to add transitions, audio and music to the presentation, and allows user to fix the timing of the presentation.
Setting a time limit for the video is a good idea for presentations. (5 min max in our case)
Make sure the music is not louder than the speaker's voice. This can be adjusted in the Advanced Timeline setting.
Students can work on WeVideo at home.
- There were issues of recording audio(voice) which could not be resolved at home.
Student Reviewed Educational Sites
The iLearn class continues to publish great educational website reviews to the world via the class blog and iTunes. Here is Ike's review of a classic-Electocity.
A little jingle I made on the fly in iLearn classas an introduction to Garageband.

When clearing out the Student Resources network folder, I came across a copy of Slender. Not knowing what it was, I opened it up and began to explore. I immediately had flashbacks to The Blairwitch Project, the horror movie from the late 1990's.
Slender is a free download.
A little creepy but engaging. Jay, a Grade 8 student, says, "Trying playing at night, alone, with the lights out. Watch out."

iLearn Video Fun
Here are some lighthearted videos produced by the Grade 5 iLearn students in Mr. Sturgeon's class.
Many thanks to Marcus, Keshnen, Aadi, Aadihitya, Aarushi, Amal, Chatu, and Yasmin for a great semester.
It was unfortunate today that we suffered a grave loss. A laptop gave up its screen due to some manageable mistakes.
One student was carrying a laptop improperly in the hallway when another student came running around the corner and crashed into the laptop carrier.
The cost to replace the screen is 700 USD. A new machine costs 1000 USD.
IT will replace the machine as it is more cost effective.
Two major reminders:
- Do not tolerate running in the hallway.
- Students need to close the lid and hug the laptops close to the chest when in transport.
Spike! Keeping it simple.
Tired of jumping between documents to Copy and Paste various bits and pieces of information and text?
Microsoft's Spike is the answer. The Spike is a little known clipboard feature of Microsoft Word. You are able to selext two or move items ( text, words, paragraphs, graphics) from various locations in a document or different documents, and then insert the items as a group in a new location or document. They are pasted in the order in which they were selected.
To move items to and from the" Spike":
- Select the text or graphic you want to move, and then press
Ctrl-F3(in Windows) or
Command-F3(on a Mac).
- Repeat this step for each additional item you want to move to the Spike.
- Click in the document where you want to insert the Spike's contents.
- To insert the Spike's contents and empty the Spike, press
Ctrl-Shift-F3(in Windows) or
Command-Shift-F3(on a Mac).
The one drawback is that when you select the text it "cuts" rather than copy. Be careful not to save the original document with the missing text unless you intend to.

Here are some tips that would really help you when you are recording your voice in Garageband.
Author- Yasmin N.
1. When you want to record your voice you should always write down what you want to saybefore recording it because it helps you be organized more better and not make mistakes when recording. Your recording would sound smoother and nicer.
If you make a mistake when you are recording, keep on going. DO NOT stop. You could always cut/split it and make it nicer later after you finished recording.
3. Always ask the person next to if you can record before recording because if you record at the same time you will hear the person next to you in your recording.
4. If you want to put sound effects inside your Podcast you should insert it in the 'Jingles' section.
5. Don't put the mike too near your mouth or it would sound funny and weird.
6. If you want some music inside the background while you record, you should always make your voice LOUDER than the music.
7. Remember, the PLAY button is NOT for recording. The big red button at the bottom is the recording button. Sometimes you may forget and record NOTHING.
8. You can make a duplicate of your recording by pressing Ctrl while dragging the recording next to it.
9. You can adjust the volume of your recording. At the left you will see the volume picture and then you could make it louder or lower.
How to Make Fun and Amazing Cool Podcasts in Garageband-Chatu
How to Make Fun and Amazing Cool Podcasts on Garageband
- To have a great podcast, you have to be organized. So you could go to Microsoft word and write what you are going to say.
- When you are recording, everyone should be quiet, so you can hear you when you record. Also you have to have a clear voice. If you are quiet, then speak up a little. Don't put the microphone too near. Or your voice would be too loud. Then push the red record button.
- If you recorded what you wanted, but then you make a mistake, don't stop, just go on.
- Delete the parts you don't want by splitting the track and deleting the part you do not need.
- If you want background music but it you can't find it in Garageband, you could drag your files to the Media Brower and drop it. Then you can split the music too, just like you did with your voice.

iLearn-Share the Knowledge Challenge
Mr. Sturgeon's iLearn students given the challenge of completing a word processing skills test recently. The goal was to have all students complete the task as quickly as possible. Students were encouraged to talk to each other, explain how to complete tasks, and even point to the screen and walk students through more difficult questions. The one approach not permitted was taking over control of a fellow classmate's mouse.
Here is photo of the students nearing the end of the task.
Here is the list of tasks that they had. Give it a try.
CWW Trivia Challenge
See how much you remember about the CWW trip.
"Who Wants to be
"Are You Smarter than
Worms Everywhere!
What is going on with worms taking over the Grade 5 hallway?
"In science we are taking care of worms.We feed the worms every Monday and put the food in specific places in the wormery. We often take the worms out and study them, then we make some questions that we want to find out about the worms. After that, we choose one question to study. We then make a diagram that helps you find your answer. At the end you put your diagram into action and then list and observe what you saw the worms do." -Aqilla
What do you know now about worms that you did not know before?
"Worms are sensitive to light. The first reaction is burrow itself in the ground. Some color lights the worms do like such as the dark colored lights. Why? My predictions that the worms are used to being in dark places so they really didn't mind that much." -Roi
"Blue is the best color of light if you had a pet worm."-Robbie

FACES of ISM
write your text here
United Nations Pitches
For the second straight year, Grade Six students have produced stupendous work incorporating research from all core subjects. They produced incredible Pecha Kuchas* for the Q2 performance task. Their video presentations are between 10-20 slides, and the narration on each slide is between 10-20 seconds long. Their task was to research the impact of certain products on food chains and groups of people. Situation: The UN has raised the question of whether or not certain products should stay on the market due to their questionable effects on the environment and people. They have appealed to certain NGOs for their help in determining positive and negative impacts on the environment and people, so that they can make an informed decision.
I.T. Connections: Students learned about Creative Commons and how to search Flickr and Google Image Advanced Search for Creative Commons photos. Students were encouraged to use Compfight to find appropriate photos. To view the videos, click on the topic below:

Beginner animators are in luck. Pivot, the popoular stickman animation tool, is no longer being updated and is not available on the Mac. Stykz comes to the rescue!
Stykz is very similar to Pivot. The few differences include:
1) the ablity to create new figures directly in the working window
2) a lack of an installed library

Like most first time moms I went into this pregnancy completely unaware of what my body and mind was truly about to go through. My poor husband had no clue what he was in store for, but he held on like a champ. And I had no clue what I was in for, for my first sonogram.
This being his first child as well, he was all about researching the "do's and don'ts" of pregnancy and stick strictly to those "rules". If the doctors said "You should only drink caffeine in moderation", then my husband would say "better safe than sorry, no caffeine". Since chocolate has caffeine in it that went out the window along with coffee, tea, soda, and anything else with known amounts of caffeine.
He became the master of Google and would look up everything that he thought questionable. "pregnancy and caffeine", "pregnancy and tuna", "pregnancy and sour cream" and many other searches along the way. He wanted to research everything that we put into my body so that it wouldn't harm the baby.
At first it was really cute and endearing but as time passed I wanted to smash his phone and just tell to trust the doctors and the baby book! He really was trying to help but there is such a thing as too much help.
Since we were only a few weeks in, and they don't consider a pregnancy confirmed until a sonogram shows there's a baby growing in there, he was cautious about getting too excited. I was doing my best to temper my enthusiasm and be realistic. My health has never been the best and I have a thyroid condition, which we were told increased my chances of miscarriage. So we waited for three weeks until our next appointment.
My First Sonogram – Friday, May 27, 2016
This is the day we finally got to go back to the doctor and get our very first sonogram to "confirm" the pregnancy. I was pretty excited and ready to get confirmation so that I could really start planning for a baby! Twins also ran in my family and had skipped a generation or two so I wanted to be sure we were only expecting a singleton and not multiples.
This day I also discovered something about sonograms, they aren't all done from the outside… After the doctor asked me to undress from the waist down and left the room I began to change into the typical gynie visit outfit. I found it surprisingly awkward to do this in front of my husband, who has seen it all before but somehow this was different. It felt like he was watching me pee or see me do something really private and embarrassing.
He politely averted his eyes while I got changed and up on the table. The doctor came back and they rolled in this big cart with a screen that looked like it was from the 80's on top of it.
It was pretty cramped in the exam room with the two of us, my doctor, the nurse, and the sonogram cart but we all fit. She pulls out what looked like a skinny version of the "neck massage" wand they sell (the one apparently popular with women, and not for their necks).
She slipped over the wand what basically was a large oddly shaped condom made specifically for this tool and slopped some lube on the end. This began my very first "trans-vaginal sonogram". While slightly awkward and uncomfortable, it is apparently the best way to see something so small.
After just a few moments of staring and the grainy screen we were finally able to see a black jelly bean shape with a little gray smudge inside. That gray smudge was our baby! We were even able to see the little white flickers of the beating heart (well, not a heart like you or I have but what was slowly forming the heart).
They left the room so I could get changed and we suffered through another (and even more awkward) changing of the clothes. This was worse because there was some personal clean up that had to be done due to the lube used for the sonogram. Little did we know, this was going to be the first of many trans-vaginal sonograms, new bodily functions and broken personal privacy barriers.
When the doctor came back in and we got our very first picture of our baby we knew that nothing was going to be the same again. We were going to be parents.

Don't think this is a problem, I think it could be a plus. For me, the Star Wars one is less engaging, just because it lacks the surrealism of the little one's chats, and I just think, conceptually, that it makes more sense to be about the little one - like it's her show.

Love the high heels detail - for me, the really appealing iterations are 1, 4 & 7 :)

Holiday Greetings from the LCAA / November meeting
December, 12th 2015
Dear LCAA Members and Friends,
The intent of this letter is to bring everyone up to date on some hot topics that the association has been dealing with over the past month and a half. On October 17th, we lost a very dear friend and teammate to cancer. Eric Hanson rowed at PLU in the late 80's and left an impression on the program and on the hearts of rowers for years to come. Still rowing in the weeks before his death, many of us chuckled at the fact that it may have only been in a drainage ditch on the side of a highway… but no matter. All he needed was a boat, two oars, and a water way wide enough to pull those oars! Many inquiries have come in asking, "How can we honor Eric?"
PLU Crew has been fortunate to receive two endowments over the past 25 years. The Herland Fund was established by members of the LCAA after the passing of a beloved friend, teammate and coach, Doug Herland in 1989. In 2015, the University received a generous endowment from the Gordon Family. As part of that endowment, the LCAA has committed to purchasing a boat in Mark Gordon's (Rower 1990) name as soon as possible. We feel that this commitment is extremely important, and while several folks have discussed purchasing a boat in Eric's name, we do not feel that at this time that is practical. It can definitely be something discussed at a later time; however in keeping with the wishes of Eric's family, we would like to encourage all those inclined, to make a donation in Eric's name to the Herland Fund. The Herland Fund supports both the Women's and Men's crew programs – as Eric did with his hard work and dedication to the operations, coaching, and support of both crews while he was attending PLU. Family members specifically acknowledged Eric's love of the entire team!
We encourage anyone interested in making a donation in Eric's name to contact Lauralee Hagen at: firstname.lastname@example.com or (253) 535-7203
Additionally, there has been discussion with the current Men's Coach, Lori Clark, to allow us to change the name from the Pocock Inspirational Award to the Eric Hanson Inspirational Award. Traditionally, this award has been bestowed upon the rower who has most inspired their teammates and provided leadership for the crew. It is our hope to be able to provide a plaque for the boathouse that will be updated each year with the recipient names. This will be one way we can continue to grow the legacy of the program and the awesome people that have bent oar at PLU. (Coxswains not excluded.) J
Other topics we have been discussing include supporting the crew in the upcoming 2016 season, most notably the 40th Anniversary of the Lamberth Cup on April 10th, fulfilling our goals of honoring past rowers via the Golden Oar Society and continuing to have alumni socials where we connect via BBQ, rowing events and other venues. Erik Benson has already volunteered his awesome abode for the Opening Day Celebration, May 7th, 2016. Please mark your calendars for these events! We are hopeful to have Dave and Patsy Johnson in town for the Johnson Cup on April 10th. This is the women's alumni race in its 4th year. Of course, we will be hoping to fill several boats to compete for the Neil's Cup as well.
In order to make the Lute Crew Alumni Association a success, we need your help. Any time, energy or resources you can commit to the LCAA is appreciated. We would like a volunteer to take the lead in working with Coach Andy, from the Women's team, in an effort to have a special celebration of the 40th Lamberth Cup. We would also appreciate volunteers to host an alumni tent at regattas. We are very fortunate to have Sheri Koehn as part of our team and she helps with the Facebook posts and our website. If you haven't yet signed up for the PLU Alumni site, please do so. That way you will be sure to receive updates, calendars and invites. Visit: Plu.edu/Alumni
Our regularly scheduled meetings are the last Wednesday of each month. December 30th will likely be strictly a conference call or email exchange of updates. Please reach out to me if you have any ideas you would like added to our agenda. We will be posting this letter to the alumni website. A link will appear on the Facebook so folks that are not on the email can be informed as well.
Thankful for all of YOU this Thanksgiving Season!
Kathy Corey
LCAA Secretary / PLU '91

A home to more than a billion users worldwide, you will often find a thin blue bar line glaring back at you in the top of your screen while you are online – a testimony to the popularity of the social networking website. What makes Facebook such an amazing venue for publicity is the sheer volume of potential consumer present. Statistics reveal that every second, five new Facebook profiles are created. Never has it been so easy to capture the attention of such a large chunk of the market on just one platform.
Movie promotion and Facebook
It's simple – almost every movie that is released makes a page of its own on Facebook (there's an official page and often others created by fans).
The problem arises when all movies try to promote themselves.
As a producer and director, you need a particular movie to stand apart from the others, you need to make sure that the movie is geared towards the target audience.
What you find today is a lowering attention span among the people today. Combine that with the huge number of distractions on Facebook, and it's a difficult task to make the user notice your ad, let alone make an impact on the mind of the user.
Know thy Audience
What interests an average human mind? If you just post updates of your movie, a majority will not visit your page again.
Imagination is everything. It's a preview of life's coming attractions.
- Albert Einstein
What you need to do is, give users a reason to love your page. Use your imagination. Remember that people love to be loved. If you offer something in return, it will spark instant interest. The reward does not have to be monetary, or even physical. Herein come the idea of a contest. A contest will not only spike the interest level of people but will also fulfill both the criteria mentioned above – bringing people back to the page repeatedly (updates on the contest) and a return (winning a competition). So what kind of ideas should be used for such contests? Here are a few examples.
Contest Ideas that Can Do the Trick
- The 'Tag'
IKEA was probably the first page to use this technique effectively. This can easily be adapted to movies. Post a picture of a poster from your movie, or a scene from the movie, inviting users to tag themselves. You can invent different winner conditions, such as chance to win a prize at the end of the week, a la a virtual lucky draw. The prize could be a virtual autograph of the lead actor in the movie. You can let your imagination run free with this.
- 'Submit your picture'
This is a contest that appeals to the users, as most people on Facebook love posting photos. You can ask for users to submit photos with a particular criterion. For the sake of example, let us assume a superhero film called Greatman needs to be promoted on Facebook. You can hold a contest in which you invite people to send pictures in Greatman costumes. Or their favourite Greatman pose from the movie teasers. Build upon different ideas, and then recognize a couple as the winners of the contest. The prize could be getting featured as 'Fan of the Week' (as done by the Man of Steel page). This method was successfully used by Citreon UK, when they asked users to submit photos of their face representing the emoticons J, L and :S
- Liking the page
This is an all time favorite. MovieWeb, a well-known movie and TV news website, uses this method. You simply ask the users to like your page in order to get a chance to win the contest. The MovieWeb contest ran like this,
"Just Like the MovieWeb Facebook page and then leave a comment below telling us why these prizes must be yours!
If you already "Like" MovieWeb, just leave a comment below telling us why these prizes must be yours!"
Quite frankly, it's simple and effective.
- Bring in Innovation
A movie is as big as its stars. While you might love debating this statement, there's a lot that you can achieve by being innovative. Carry out a lucky draw, let your lead star interact with the fans and users. Facebook Live Chat has been used quite often for the purpose and stars like Vidya Balan have directly interacted with people through it.
Talking about innovative concepts, there is a lot more you can do. Coca Cola for instance organized the Recycling King contest in Israel. All recycling bins across the country were registered into Facebook Places and users then checked into most bins. The one who checked into most bins (and uploaded the photos) was the winner! Think creative. Let users go in for an online scavenger hunt, or ask them to show their interest in the movie by doing something innovative.
- The Guess Who is It contest
Playing quizzes and rewarding the winners or carrying out a lucky draw always helps in draw in the users. However, the method has grown a bit old and you might just need to take a look at something more innovative.
To be simply put, any technique that involves the user and gives them some sort of return is good enough. While the innovation and creative quotient makes a difference in the end, word-of-mouth publicity also helps. Using Facebook Ads can help people know about your contest too. The intention should be to make the contest go viral – which is a sure shot way of good promotion.

Most Americans are aware that the First Amendment to the Constitution provides for Freedom of Religion. And most Americans believe that the wording of the First Amendment states that there shall be a separation between Church and State. However, nowhere in the First Amendment does it state that there is to be a separation between Church and State. The specific part of the First Amendment that refers to religion reads:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion nor the free exercise thereof."
There are two parts to the above sentence, the first declares that the Government will not specify a national religion; the second declares that Americans will be allowed to freely worship in any way they want. Yet in today's time, some 225 years after those words were penned, the dominant belief is that there will be a separation between Church (religion) and State (any Government branch or body). Groups working against any religion in America have used the perception of the First Amendment, which is incorrect, to their advantage by pursuing legal battles against any Government employee, office, or body that in any way displays some form of religious affiliation. From praying in schools to Nativity displays around Christmas, these groups have decided that because Americans, as a majority, do not understand the Constitution and its amendments, the citizens of the United States will be pressed into believing that there is to be a clearly defined line between Religion and Government in this country.
Americans who hope for Freedom of Religion need to stand together against these groups that want to abolish and semblance of religion in the United States, starting with our schools and public offices. For the first 150 years of America's history, there was no separation of Church and State, only a literal understanding of the First Amendment. But in the latter half of the 19th century, that changed and people began to feel that there should be no religion associated with anything related to government. Suddenly, anything paid for by tax dollars was fair game for those who wanted a clear definition between Church and State, and they have slowly been winning over converts to their anti-religion attitude with lawsuits and propaganda.
The Founders of the United States believed that all Americans should be free to practice their religion at any time and in any place. And this included public officials in public offices and establishments. If the Founders were around today, they would not recognize what people believe to be the First Amendment's take on Religion and Government because a third part to that single sentence has been added separating Church and State.
Americans in the 21st century are, in large part, unaware of the gradual shift away from the Freedom of Religion envisioned by the Founders. But anyone who is aware of how the First Amendment has been interpreted, with the third statement defining a clear separation between Church and State, will recognize that that third part does not exist and there should be no reason to remove the Pledge of Allegiance or Nativity scenes or prayer at high school football games from our culture, which is so open and free when compared to other nations around the world. But with regards to Religion in the United States, we are far from free according to the way the Founders established Religion's place in American society.


text: Ok, Here's the deal: I have softmodded my friends Wii twice now. #1 - He's deaf, and has the mental capacity of a 10 yr old. #2 - The DVD drive is dead. #3 - He constantly plays / downloads Wiiware games as channels on his menu. Its NTSC, system menu 4.2U, I did the "modify any wii" guide by xzxero both times, no problems. Installed cIOS38 rev 19 (the latest), and Neogamma R8 as a channel. Tested it at my home, all was fine. HE took it home and DID something with Wiiware. It totally disabled his USB with Neogamma. So I re-did the softmod. This time I also installed the hermes cIOS v4 Installer, and uloader, USB loader GX, and USB loader as channels. ONLY uloader saw the USB drive this time, so I had it set to run from the HBC and a sd card. NOW again, after he DL ed something for another Wiiware game, he gets a black screen when trying to use uloader! My question is: Is there a way to stop him from screwing it up again? What is Wiiware actually doing here? Also, he keeps Wiiconnect24 always on, and uses the shopping channel. I'm gonna mod it again, but I dont know if any of this sinks in to his skull!!!!

This is a basic tutorial for setting up a new project with Aiopyramid.
Install Aiopyramid and Initialize Project¶
It is highly recommended that you use a virtual environment for your project. The tutorial will assume that you are using virtualenvwrapper with a virtualenv created like so:
mkvirtualenv aiotutorial --python=/path/to/python3.4/interpreter
Once you have your tutorial environment active, install
pip install aiopyramid
This will also install the Pyramid framework. Now create
a new project using the
aio_websocket scaffold.
pcreate -s aio_websocket aiotutorial
This will make an
aiotutorial directory with the following structure:
├── aiotutorial << Our Python package
│ ├── __init__.py << main file, contains the app constructor
│ ├── templates << directory for storing jinja templates
│ │ └── home.jinja2 << template for the example homepage, contains a websocket test
│ ├── tests.py << tests module, contains tests for each of our existing views
│ └── views.py << views module, contains view callables
├── CHANGES.rst << file for tracking changes to the library
├── development.ini << config file, contains project and server settings
├── MANIFEST.in << manifest file for distributing the project
├── README.rst << readme for bragging about the project
└── setup.py << Python module for distributing the package and managing dependencies
Let's look at some of these files a little closer.
App Constructor¶
aiotutorial/__init__.py file contains the constructor for our app. It loads the logging
config from the
development.ini config file and sets up Python logging. This is necessary
because the logging configuration won't be automatically detected when using Python3. Then, it
sets up two routes
home and
echo that we can tie into with our views. Finally,
the constructor scans the project for configuration decorators and builds the wsgi callable.
The app constructor is the place where we will connect Python libraries to our application and perform other configuration tasks.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
import logging.config
from pyramid.config import Configurator
def main(global_config, **settings):
""" This function returns a Pyramid WSGI application.
# support logging in python3
config = Configurator(settings=settings)
config.add_route('home', '/')
config.add_route('echo', '/echo')
return config.make_wsgi_app()
Thinking Asynchronously
The app constructor is called once to setup the application, which means that it is a synchronous context. The app is constructed before any requests are served, so it is safe to call blocking code here.
aiotutorial/tests.py file is a Python module with unittests for each of our views.
Let's look at the test case for the home page:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
class HomeTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
def test_home_view(self):
from .views import home
request = testing.DummyRequest()
info = asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(home(request))
self.assertEqual(info['title'], 'aiotutorial websocket test')
Since test runners for unittest expect tests, such as
test_home_view, to run synchronously
but our home view is a coroutine, we need to manually obtain an
asyncio event
loop and run our view. Line 6 obtains a dummy request from
pyramid.testing. We then pass
that request to our view and run it on line 7. Finally, line 8 makes assertions about the kind
of output we expect from our view.
This is the brains of our application, the place where decisions about how to respond to a particular request are made, and as such this is the place where you will most often start chaining together coroutines to perform asynchronous tasks. Let's look at each of the example views in turn:
1 2 3 4 5 6
@view_config(route_name='home', renderer='aiotutorial:templates/home.jinja2')
def home(request):
wait_time = float(request.params.get('sleep', 0.1))
yield from asyncio.sleep(wait_time)
return {'title': 'aiotutorial websocket test', 'wait_time': wait_time}
For those already familiar with Pyramid most of this view should require no explanation. The important parts for running asynchronously are lines 2 and 5.
view_config() decorator on line 1 ties this view to the 'home'
route declared in the app constructor. It also assigns a renderer to the view that will
render the data returned into the
template/home.jinja template and return a response
to the user. Line 2 wraps the view in a coroutine which differentiates it from a generator
or native coroutine. Line 3 is the signature for the coroutine.
Aiopyramid view mappers
do not change the two default signarures for views, i.e. views that accept a request
and views that accept a context and a request. On line 4, we retrieve a sleep parameter,
from the request (the parameter can be either part of the querystring or the body). If
the request doesn't include a sleep parameter, the view defaults to 0.1. We don't need to
yield from because
request.params.get doesn't return a coroutine or future.
The data for the request exists in memory so retrieving the parameter should be very fast.
Line 5 simulates performing some asynchronous task by suspending the coroutine and delegating to
another coroutine,
asyncio.sleep(), which uses events to wait for
wait_time seconds.
yield from is very important, without it the coroutine would
continue without sleeping. Line 6 returns a Python dictionary that will be passed to the
jinja2 renderer.
The second view accepts a websocket connection:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
@view_config(route_name='echo', mapper=WebsocketMapper)
def echo(ws):
while True:
message = yield from ws.recv()
if message is None:
yield from ws.send(message)
This view is tied to the 'echo' route from the app constructor. Note that we use a special view mapper
for websocket connections. The
aiopyramid.websocket.config.WebsocketMapper changes the signature
of the view to accept a single websocket connection instead of a request. The connection object has three methods
for communicating with the websocket
send(), and
close() that
correspond to similar methods in the websockets library.
This websocket view will run echoing the data it recieves until the connection is closed. On line 5 we use
yield from to wait until a message is received. If the message is None, then we know that the websocket
has closed and we break the loop to complete the echo coroutine. Otherwise, line 7 simply returns the same
message back to the websocket. Very simple. In both cases when we need to perform some io we use
yield from
to suspend our coroutine and delegate to another.
This kind of explicit yielding is a nice advantage for readability in Python code. It shows us exactly where we are calling asynchronous code.
development.ini file contains the config for the project. Most of these settings could be specified in
the app constructor but it makes sense to separate out these values from procedural code. Here is an overview
of the two most important sections:
use = egg:aiotutorial
pyramid.includes =
# for py3
logging.config = %(here)s/development.ini
[app:main] section contains the settings that will be passed to the app constructor as
This is where we include extensions for Pyramid such as
Aiopyramid and the
templating library.
[server:main] configures the default server for the project, which in this case is
use = egg:gunicorn#main
host = 0.0.0.0
port = 6543
worker_class = aiopyramid.gunicorn.worker.AsyncGunicornWorker
port setting here is the port that we will use to access the application, such as in a browser. The
worker_class is set to the
aiopyramid.gunicorn.worker.AsyncGunicornWorker because we need to have
gunicorn setup the Aiopyramid Architecture for us.
setup.py file makes the
aiotutorial package easy to distirbute, and it is also a good way, although
not the only good way, to manage dependencies for our project. Lines 18-21 list the Python packages that we need
for this project.
requires = [
Note about View Mappers¶
The default view mapper that
Aiopyramid sets up when it is included by the application tries to be as
robust as possible. It will inspect all of the views that we configure and try to guess whether or not
they are coroutines. If the view looks like a coroutine, in other words if it has
yield from in it, the framework will treat it as a coroutine, otherwise it will assume it is
legacy code and will run it in a separate thread to avoid blocking the event loop. This is very important.
When using
Aiopyramid view mappers, it is actually not necessary to explicitly decorate view callables
asyncio.coroutine() as in the examples because the mapper will wrap views that appear to be coroutines
for you. It is still good practice to explicitly wrap your views because it facilitates using them in places where a
view mapper may not be active, but if you are annoyed by the repetition, then you can skip writing
@asyncio.coroutine before
every view as long as you remember what is a coroutine.
Making Sure it Works¶
The last step in initializing the project is to install out dependencies and test out that the scaffold works as we expect:
python setup.py develop
You can also use
setup.py to run unittests:
python setup.py test
You should see the following at the end of the output:
test_home_view (aiotutorial.tests.HomeTestCase) ... ok
test_echo_view (aiotutorial.tests.WSTest) ... ok
Ran 2 tests in 1.709s
If you don't like the test output from
setup.py, consider using a test runner like pytest.
Now try running the server and visiting the homepage:
gunicorn --paste development.ini
aiotutorial websocket test
SENT: Aiopyramid echo test.
RESPONSE: Aiopyramid echo test.
This shows that the websocket is working. If you want to verify that the server is able to handle
multiple requests on a single thread, simply open a different browser (to avoid browser connection
limitations) and go to http://127.0.0.1:6543?sleep=10. The new browser should take roughly ten seconds
to load the page because our view is waiting for the value of
sleep. However, while that request is
ongoing, you can refresh your first browser and see that the server is still able to fulfill requests.
Congratulations! You have successfuly setup a highly configurable asynchronous server using
Extra Credit
If you really want to see the power of asynchronous programming in Python, obtain a copy of slowloris
and run it against your knew
Aiopyramid server and some non-asynchronous server. For example,
you could run a simple
Django application with gunicorn. You should see that the
Aiopyramid server
is still able to respond to requests whereas the
Django server is bogged down. You could also use a simple
PHP application using Apache to see this difference.

In addition to our work with producers, retailers and restaurants, the ASPCA is working in cities around the country—alongside health, environment, education and fair labor advocates—to help public institutions source higher-welfare and more just, sustainable food.
The Good Food Purchasing Program (GFPP) is a food procurement tool that helps school systems, municipalities, and other bodies source food that meets five value criteria:
- Animal Welfare
- Nutrition
- Support for Local Economies
- Worker Justice and Safety
- Environmental Sustainability
As large-scale purchasers of animal products, these institutions affect the lives of millions of animals, and a shift in their preferences can drive wide-reaching improvements in farm animal treatment.
Institutions that commit to the GFPP must source an increasing percentage of their food from within these standards each successive year. Each value category—including Animal Welfare—also contains tiers. Institutions are encouraged to move up through these tiers over time as supply becomes available.
The GFPP's animal welfare criterion addresses the conditions in which farm animals are raised for meat, milk and egg products. It relies largely on some of the same third-party-audited animal welfare certification programs that the ASPCA recommends to welfare-conscious consumers—programs that span a spectrum from pasture-based to enriched indoor living, but all of which disallow cages, crating and tethering, and which limit crowding, physical alterations and other conventional practices.
Chicago Public Schools – The Chicago Public School Board voted unanimously in 2017 to adopt GFPP, with support from the ASPCA.
Chicago Park District – The Chicago Park District voted in 2017 to adopt GFPP.
City of Chicago – The City of Chicago voted unanimously in 2017 to adopt GFPP, with support from the ASPCA.
Cook County (IL) – The Board of Commissioners voted in 2018 to adopt GFPP, with support from the ASPCA.
Oakland (CA) – The Oakland unified school district voted unanimously in 2016 to adopt the GFPP, with support from the ASPCA.
San Francisco – The San Francisco Unified School District's Board of Education voted unanimously in 2016 to adopt the GFPP, with support from the ASPCA.
Los Angeles – The City of Los Angeles adopted the GFPP in 2012. The Los Angeles Unified School District likewise adopted the GFPP in 2012 and renewed its commitment, with support from the ASPCA, in 2014.
The ASPCA is working to help local communities pass the Good Food Purchasing Program in cities and school systems around the country (check out this U.S. map to see both active and succesfully completed campaigns). Please stay tuned for further news about GFPP efforts in particular cities, and be sure to join the Advocacy Brigade so we can alert you should we need support for the GFPP in your home city!

January 24, 2017 – Song Removals
::: FYI to all listeners:::
In order to free up additional hard drive space, most songs older than year 2000 will be removed. Selected tracks that are newer and never requested will also be removed. Hard drive space = money. We need more of the first and have none of the latter.. That means more space for new songs… and thats the deal! Have a good day 🙂

A thousand miles per gallon is possible today -- if you're willing to slim down to 120 pounds and cram yourself into a diesel-powered bullet with bicycle wheels.
Three College of the Redwoods students and their instructor have such a car under construction and will run it at a challenge set up by Shell at a race track in Fontana in April. Its frame is built from molds of a glider, and its heart is a 5-horsepower diesel engine that sips gas.
"The current objective is to get it rolling," said team leader Ivan Sack. His father, Gary, is an industrial technology professor in the school's diesel shop overseeing the team's efforts.
Once the car is operational, the finest of fine tuning will make a huge difference in how much diesel the vehicle uses, the primary factor in the Shell Eco-marathon America's competition. The team is researching tires to figure out which have the least rolling resistance, and the body needs to be finessed to have the least possible aerodynamic drag.
"It can make a lot of difference," said student Nathan Brown.
The team has the ideal pilot. Student Allan Swanlund ran track for Fortuna High School and weighs in at 120 pounds. The 12.5-foot car, with the pilot and engine aboard, will weigh about 290 pounds.
The Shell event has four categories, including fuel cell, gasoline engine, diesel and solar power. Last year, a CR team raced to enter into the competition, pulling together a car on short notice. A team from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo took the field with a car that got 1,903 mpg.
"It's quite a novel approach when you think of it," said Mark Singer, global project manager for the eco-marathon. "You don't often hear a major energy company saying 'use less.' It really reinforces conservation across the board."
The event gives Shell an opportunity to promote things it's already doing, and also to focus on the conservative use of fuel, driving techniques and technology that the teams bring to the table.
Gary Sack said he'd be disappointed if his team gets less than 1,000 mpg and hopes to get much better mileage. But the point of building the car isn't so much about winning, he said, as it is to "make the scene" and see what everyone brings to the competition in Fontana.
The diesel tank on the Hatz 1B20-X engine will be swapped out with a vial holding 250 ccs or less at the competition. Each team will run their vehicle around the track a set number of times at a speed of at least 15 miles per hour -- the goal being to use the least fuel in the time allotted.
The car should be able to achieve that speed using only about 1/10 hp. The engine could propel the vehicle much faster, Gary Sack said, perhaps to 90 mph.
"That's not allowing for wheels falling off," he said.
Diesel is ideal for a number of reasons, Gary Sack said. It's an existing and readily available fuel. Diesel contains more energy per gallon than gasoline. Diesel engines are on average 30 percent more efficient than their gas counterparts and they are efficient at low rpms.
There aren't really any practical applications that would come out of the project, Brown said. There are cars entered into the competition that are urban concepts, he said.
But Gary and Ivan Sack are contemplating using it to commute from their place in Freshwater to CR -- although they admit that DMV registration could be a challenge.
"It would be kind of fun to commute in a 1,000-mpg car," Gary Sack said.

Re: Henriette Abel, born abt 1827, Prussia
Hello Ernest.The names do not look familiar.I know that Henriette married about 1851 to Carl (Charles) Roschild, or Roschildt, several spelling variations.They came to Wisconsin in 1857 via the port at Millwaukee.Two children were born while the family was still in "Prussia".Albert Theodore Henry Roschild, born Feb 25, 1852 and Bertha Roschild born June 17, 1854.The family settled at Hustisford, Dodge County, Wisconsin.Can you provide a specific location in West Prussia your Abel family came from???.There could be a contact but back another generation or two???Keep me posted!!!Many thanks,Brad Sietsema.Renville, Minnesota

Photos capture the northern lights illuminating night sky across Canada
It got here late, but it was worth the wait.
The first of two coronal mass ejections (CME) reached Earth on Saturday, a day later than the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) had anticipated. But the particles that were ejected from the sun earlier in the week interacted with our magnetosphere and put on a beautiful northern lights show across the country.
READ MORE: Why do we get the northern lights?
Those who had clear skies were treated to bright green arcs of light dancing across the sky, with some pinks and reds.
Some people had a special vantage point.
But Saturday's show wasn't the last.
The second CME reached slammed into Earth on Sunday night, giving those who might have missed it a second chance.
The northern lights were not just visible from Canada, but from around the world.
This was the third time in two weeks that we were treated to a light show courtesy of the sun. The SWPC isn't forecasting any for the coming days, though, with the sun, that might change.
