who the heck is belbith?

who the heck is belbith?
by the way...hi guys! I've been a lurker for a while but now i'm here officially!
NBC's showing the OD for now.
I don't understand why on Internet we are watching OD and as you said on the television they are streaming live Fs or I understood wrong??!!
nope. NBC just showed Davis/White OD...must be warm ups going on or something...
yeah thats what they are doing. i could have sworn i've seen a similar dress on Emily before...or at least the same color. have to say...i never thought i would ever see someone skate to the Dixie Chicks.
makes you wonder if they're going to show any Free Dances at all.... isn't this broadcast suposed to be over in 15 minutes?
OMG NBC is making a huge mistake. They are going ahead and showing Samuelson and Bates OD. They are cutting the corners so close, I hope Belbin and Agosto's Free Dance is not clipped!
Remember NBC's money dictates a lot of the scheduling for this event (ie. split weekends). I would not be surprised if they are making the final group wait until they get through with their planned schedule of what they want to show so they can fill the full three hours up to the end.
I highly doubt they're going to chack Tanith and Ben.
gaaa. just come on and show the skating!!! loved seeing Dick Button back but that seemed like a pointless segment to me...
I love how Frank gets to dictate how God should work... so if Mirai bombs does that mean God is bad? :sheesh:

Curmudgeon's Corner
cur-mud-geon: anyone who hates hypocrisy and pretense and has the temerity to say so; anyone with the habit of pointing out unpleasant facts in an engaging and humorous manner
The Middle East Powder Keg...
The Middle East powder keg is ever closer to exploding. Syria continues its melt down and its leader will not alter his course even having proclaimed that he'll die in the fighting if that is required of him. The Palestinians continue to fire rockets and small arms rounds into Israel. Israel continues to shoot back. Israel found and demolished a tunnel on the Gaza strip that had been loaded with explosives and other weapons. Israel is on top of everything that moves in the area and seems to be poised for very quick and lethal responses to any temptation. Egypt is rumbling under the new rule brought about by elections a few months ago. Iran continues in its now typical bellicose manner daring for a response to its nuclear program that has been being buried deep in a mountain side.
The American election did little, if anything, to alter that landscape either for the better or for the worse. It is what it is, and there is not much that anyone has tried that looks to have succeeded.
All this points, in my mind, to an event of one kind or another that will succeed in causing that region to explode. Whether that is an Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, or Syria's battles rolling over its several borders thus bringing other militaries into the fray is a question I doubt anyone can answer.
We do not seem to have the wherewithal to somehow force our will on the powers in that region. We are not the ones living under the various threats. Were we, I suspect our national mood would be quite different than it appears to be today. We are coming out from under the divisive political campaign for the Presidency. We have several issues facing our country that draw our attention daily.
Our economy needs a turn-around. Our country spends more than it has. Taxes will be increased to ease some of that strain. Military budgets will continue to be under pressure. Our Congress will be trying, again, to sort out itself and find some way to be a more effective governing body than it has managed to be in the past few years; verbiage to date does not seem promising that such an accord will be reached soon, if at all.
Something is almost certainly going to go "boom in the night" and it will likely be even more involved than was Benghazi even as serious as that 'incident' was. The Middle East seems poised for an eruption and that would appear to be more near-term than far-term. Some will argue, but the evidence I see suggests there is not a close relationship between our government and that of Israel. I will not be surprised to learn upon waking one morning that Israel went into Iran in a big way without advance notification for "permission" from the U.S.
That, if it occurs, will cast the last term of President Obama in a completely new light. It will instantly dominate everything because it will be dominating world opinion. The fallout, no pun intended, will be extensive and far-reaching. It will impact our relationships with many governments and with many movements, and those relationships may be transformed from one thing to another overnight.
Our President and his Cabinet will be placed under tremendous strain, significantly more strain than is experienced in the usual ebb and flow of governing. The selections President Obama will be entertaining and deciding upon in the coming days and weeks are of even more paramount importance than ever.
If I were trying to find the best time to catch America off-guard and off its game, it would be very close to the January swearing in ceremonies while all the new players are trying to find their offices and determine how to get into their computer systems and how to work with the staff shortages that are sure to exist. These new members of the Cabinet will not have had time in their roles to be comfortable with self and each other.
The one advantage would be that we would not be swearing in a new President; our President has been there for four years at this point and is as well-prepared as he will ever be. Some would argue whether or not that level of preparedness is sufficient, but it is what it is, as well; and his style and approaches are known to all the players on the world stage.
This is a time for our prayers for a smooth change-over from the first to the second Administrations of this President, and that the selections made will have been of the most capable people available.
I hope my concerns over the Middle East powder keg are misplaced.

Women's Basketball Hall of Fame member, Gary Blair, led Texas A&M to the 2011 NCAA Championship and has transformed the women's basketball program into a national power since his appointment as head coach in 2003.
Blair, a two-time national finalist for the Naismith Coach of the Year Award, has guided Texas A&M to 10 straight NCAA Tournament appearances, and to four conference championships, including the 2013 SEC Tournament Championship.
Blair led the Aggies to their first national title in their first-ever trip to the NCAA Women's Final Four and closed out the 2010-11 season with a 33-5 record, the most victories in program history. The Aggies were voted as the No. 1 team in the coaches' poll following the season, the first time Texas A&M stood atop either poll in women's basketball.
With Blair at the helm, the Aggies have made five appearances in the Sweet Sixteen in the past eight years, and reached the Elite Eight in 2008, 2011 and 2014.
Blair has coached two USBWA All-Americans at Texas A&M; Danielle Adams, who was the program's first true All-American in 2010-11, and Kelsey Bone, who earned All-America recognition in 2012-13.
Adams was a first-team honoree by the Associated Press, State Farm and the USBWA in addition to being selected as a finalist for prestigious awards such as the Naismith Trophy, the John R. Wooden Award and the Wade Trophy. After leaving Aggieland, Adams became a WNBA All-Star for the San Antonio Stars.
Bone was selected to the USBWA first-team and was a third-team selection by the Associated Press, after completing a 2012-13 season that saw her earn MVP of the SEC Tournament. She was the fifth overall pick by the New York Liberty in the historically-strong 2013 WNBA Draft, and earned WNBA All-Rookie honors in her first year in the league.
The women's basketball program won its first SEC Championship in 2013, knocking off three ranked teams to capture the league crown in a 75-67 victory over No. 7 Kentucky. The Aggies captured the regular season Big 12 Conference Championship in 2007 and continued with postseason championship titles in 2008 and 2010 before departing to the SEC.
Notably, Blair is one of only three all-time NCAA Division I women's basketball coaches to lead two different teams to the NCAA Women's Final Four (Texas A&M and Arkansas), and is one of eight coaches to lead three different teams to the NCAA Tournament (Texas A&M, Arkansas, Stephen F. Austin). He currently ranks 10th in career victories and in the top 25 by winning percentage among active Division I coaches with an impressive 695-282 overall record (.711).
Blair became the all-time winningest women's basketball coach in Texas A&M history with an 84-53 victory over Portland State in the NCAA First Round on March 20, 2010, to surpass 154 career victories compiled by former head coach Lynn Hickey from 1984-1994. The 2007 Big 12 Coach of the Year claimed his 600th career coaching victory against Mississippi State on Nov. 20, 2011, to become the 22nd all-time NCAA Division I coach to reach the milestone.
Over the course of his 30-year collegiate coaching career, which includes stops at Stephen F. Austin from 1985-93 and Arkansas from 1993-03, Blair has led his teams to 29 winning seasons, 24 20-win seasons, 21 NCAA Tournament appearances and 33 NCAA postseason victories. Blair has won a championship at every level of his coaching career including three state championships at Dallas South Oak Cliff High School, two national championships as an assistant coach at Louisiana Tech, a WNIT Championship at Arkansas and a national championship at Texas A&M.
Blair previously led the Lady Razorbacks to the 1998 NCAA Final Four and the SFA Ladyjacks to four NCAA Sweet 16 appearances. He has followed that path of success by elevating Texas A&M into one of the nation's elite programs where he has put together a 287-119 record (.708) after 12 seasons in Aggieland, including nine consecutive 20-win campaigns since 2005. In the last 10 years, A&M has registered an unprecedented 139-18 (.885) overall success record at Reed Arena.
Over the last eight seasons, nine of Blair's players have been selected in the WNBA Draft, including Kelsey Bone, who was the program's highest-ever pick at fifth overall in the 2013 draft. Texas A&M has had two players selected in the same WNBA three times; Tyra White and Sydney Carter in 2012, Sydney Colson and Danielle Adams in 2011 and Morenike Atunrase and A'Quonesia Franklin in 2008.
One of the most active and involved coaches in the Bryan-College Station community, Blair is a frequent and charismatic speaker at the local Rotary Club as well as other civic and student groups throughout the year. He also hosts the annual Gary Blair Celebrity Golf Classic that benefits Special Olympics Texas. A marketing and public relations guru, Blair has increased awareness about his program and boosted both attendance and season tickets sales at Reed Arena by over 300 percent due to his one-on-one approach.
Blair is a member of six Hall of Fames, including induction into the state of Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in 2014, the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in 2013, the Texas Sports Hall of Fame in 2011, the Southland Conference Hall of Honor in 2009, the Stephen F. Austin Ladyjack Hall of Fame in 2008 and the Texas High School Basketball Hall of Fame in 2002. He was also honored with the 2011 New York Athletic Club's Winged Foot Award, which is presented annually to the winning coaches of the men's and women's NCAA Division I Basketball Championships.
A 1963 graduate of Dallas' Bryan Adams High School, Blair was an all-city baseball player. After a tour in the U.S. Marine Corps, he earned his bachelor's degree in health and physical education with a minor in journalism from Texas Tech in 1972. He completed his master's degree in education in 1974 and also played a season of baseball for the Red Raiders.
Blair's wife, Dr. Nan Smith-Blair, an associate professor of nursing at the University of Arkansas. The couple have two children, Paige and Matt, and three grandchildren, Logan, Lola and Landry. Paige owns a children's boutique in Fayetteville, Ark., and is married to Beau Thompson, head boys' basketball coach at Farmington High School in Farmington, Ark. Matt holds a master's degree from UALR and is currently coaching soccer in the Little Rock area.

Newark Mayor Cory Booker might be getting some company in next year's Senate race in New Jersey.
Rep. Frank Pallone told the Asbury Park Press he is interested in running for the seat of retiring Democrat Frank Lautenberg, which would set up a Democratic primary showdown between the 13-term congressman and the mayor.
"I'm pursuing that and working on it on a daily basis," Pallone is quoted as saying. "It's a very important part about what I want do in the future."
Booker is raising money for the Senate race and has put off his formal campaign kick off until after New Jersey's gubernatorial race this November. We'll know how much Booker has hauled in so far when campaign reports are filed midmonth at the Federal Election Commission.
Also in Senate campaign study mode is Debbie Dingell, a longtime member of the Democratic National Committee from Michigan. Politico reports Dingell, a former General Motors executive and wife of Rep. John Dingell, has taken "concrete steps" toward a Senate bid including talking to interest groups and political strategists.
A Detroit News poll released in late March showed Debbie Dingell leading Rep. Gary Peters in a Democratic primary.
Democratic Sen. Carl Levin is retiring in Michigan, and the party wants to make sure the Senate seat stays in its hands. Several Republicans are also looking at the Michigan race, including Reps. Mike Rogers and Justin Amash.

The ideal of free men enjoying freedom from fear and want can be achieved only if conditions are created whereby everyone may enjoy his economic, social, and cultural rights, as well as his civil and political rights
American Convention on Human Rights
The Office of the Special Rapporteur was created to stimulate awareness of the importance of the full observance of the right to freedom of expression and information in the hemisphere, given the fundamental role that this right plays in the consolidation and advancement of the democratic system.
During the Second Summit of the Americas the Heads of State and Government of the Americas recognized the fundamental role of freedom of thought and expression, and noted their satisfaction regarding the creation of the Special Rapporteurship and expressed their commitment to support the Office. During the Third Summit of the Americas, held in Quebec City, Canada, the Heads of State and Government ratified the mandate of the Office of the Special Rapporteur. The OAS General Assembly has on various occasions expressed its support for the work of the Office of the Special Rapporteur and entrusted it with follow-up or analysis of issues related to freedom of expression.
In the same way, since its beginnings, the Office of the Special Rapporteur has also had the support of civil society organizations, the media, journalists and, most importantly, individuals who have been victims of violations of the right to freedom of thought and expression. They, in turn, have viewed the Office of the Special Rapporteur as an important source of support to reestablish the safeguards necessary for the exercise of their rights or to ensure just reparations as warranted by their particular situation.

Monster Cup of Tea
Seeing this is disappointing, in a way, but it's also rather pleasing. And it's not that we didn't know there was a guy in there, it's just that the original imagery is so very iconic that one can kinda, you know, lose track of the fact.

This week nothing very interesting happened on Friday night. And then on Saturday night - which is now - nothing very interesting happened again. Except for gas-propelled cream splat face prank and, oh yeah, this Japanese company 3D-printed a working model of a jet engine. So there's those things that happened.

By JAN HANSONGuest commentary
When a local movie theater owner opts not to show a particular movie in one of his theaters (his theater, his call...right?) and the whole world seems to come unglued, it is easy to sit back and realize that everyone is making a mountain out of a molehill. However, when things like that happen closer to home it is sometimes a little harder to recognize.
For well over 30 years there has been a hot rivalry between Carbon High School and Emery High School and at any competition, from football to debate, the other school is always the team to beat. There have been shenanigans going on between these two schools for so long that they are simply expected and, for the most part, enjoyed by everyone. Only on the rarest of occasions do these activities become harmful. Generally speaking, this rivalry also includes a great deal of mutual respect.
Recently, on the day of the Carbon/Emery boy's basketball home game, the girls basketball team decided to show their school spirit by making a lot of spirit posters for the high school gym and then meeting the Carbon High bus at the county line and escorting them to the high school. There cars were decorated with the typical type of spirit signs one always sees at sporting events. The back car also had a sign which read "oversized load," as is customary when any oversized vehicle is being escorted down the highway. These girls weren't tailgating or slowing down or obstructing the bus in any way. They were driving the speed limit and all of their seatbelts were buckled. There were no laws being broken, but three of the vehicles were stopped by police officers and names, parents' names and phone numbers were taken, upsetting the girls very much. When these girls got to school they were jumped by the high school administration because one of their signs had apparently offended someone or had the potential to offend someone. The sign said "Welcome Dinettes." It was immediately ripped down and all of the other sign that the girls had spent most of the day on were taken down and confiscated. Those signs said "Go Spartans" and there were eight individual signs spelling out S-p-a-r-t-a-n-s---all typical high school gym posters. The girls were then informed that they had sorely offended the Carbon bus driver and the cheerleaders and they were expected to apologize, which they did. Not being able to find the cheerleaders, they found the cheerleader advisor who was harsh with them and told them they really owed the cheerleaders an apology. At that point, they found the cheerleaders and apologized. The cheerleaders, however, were very good natured and not quite sure what the big fuss was about.
These young ladies, who were stopped by the police and harshly reprimanded by school administrators, are some of the finest students at Emery High. They do their homework after being at school until 6 p.m. every day. They catch up in classes that they miss to attend ballgames. They are on the honor roll and hold leadership positions and do not get into trouble. These girls, who were accused of malice and disrespect, are the same ones who stayed late last year at the state volleyball tournament to support the Carbon High volleyball team in their championship game. They and many of their parents also traveled to the state girls basketball tournament last year, after a crushing first round defeat of their own, to support their rivals, and friends, on the Carbon team. By the same token, Morgan Warburton, one of the finest girls to ever play in the state always had high praise for the Emery team as did Coach Bean. Not bad for arch rivals.
One thing I would like to add in defense of public school administrators is the fact that there isn't another profession anywhere that has to answer to so many people. They are responsible to the federal government, the state government, the State Office of Education, the teachers unions, the district office, all the teachers in their respective schools, every parent of every student and every student. I'm a teacher and I love it, but I wouldn't be a principal for any amount of money. It has to be an awful job.
As a closing thought, consider these two ideas. There are always things to be worked up over, and we all know people who are always up in arms over something. That seems very sad. Second, the vast majority of Emery and Carbon teenagers are fine, honorable young people who constantly get lumped in the "terrible teenager" category. There are certainly enough real mountains to conquer in life without inventing new ones.

Identity Theft: A Challenge for Law Enforcement
Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in America. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) estimates that roughly 8.4 million Americans were a victim of identity theft in 2006. Identity thieves steal personal information from their victims, such as their Social Security number, date of birth, or credit card number, and use it without their knowledge to commit fraud or other crimes. Once the thief has the victim's identifying information, he or she will attempt to misuse the victim's existing bank or credit card account, or open a new account in the victim's name. All too frequently citizens don't know that their identity has been stolen until they fail to secure a loan, are refused credit, receive bills or calls from unknown creditors, or notice questionable charges on their account. Unfortunately, it can take months, sometimes years, for a victim to undo the damage that the thief has done
To assist victims and increase awareness about identity theft, both state and local law enforcement can play an active role in combating this crime. They can hold public information sessions encouraging citizens to file a police report and report the incident to the FTC if they believe they are victim, as well as put a fraud alert on their credit report. Law enforcement can also educate citizens about the importance of protecting their personal information by not carrying their Social Security card with them and giving out personal information only if they know who they are dealing with. It is especially important that they stress to citizens the importance of frequently reviewing their bank and credit card statements because this is the most common way an individual will find out that he or she has become a victim.
The Internet is also a place where thieves find their victims. They will attempt to gain someone's personal information by sending e-mails with links to false web sites of banks or credit card companies or attach programs that record the keystrokes of unsuspecting victims who are logging into their personal accounts. Law enforcement should encourage people to be aware of these scams and use only the web sites they know and trust.
In addition to public outreach, law enforcement personnel can also work with local businesses and service organizations in their community. For instance, they can encourage businesses to require employees to check a customer's photo identification before conducting a credit card purchase. For businesses that provide online services, they should stress the importance of regularly checking their web site to ensure that it has the proper security measures so thieves cannot gain access to personal information they may have obtained from clients. For service organizations, such as health services or a department of motor vehicles, law enforcement can assist in performing background checks on individuals who have access to the personal information of employees or the public records. This will ensure that these individuals are absolutely trustworthy and do not have criminal records. Identity thieves often attempt to bribe these individuals with large sums of money. For added security, it is equally important for businesses to limit the number of people who can access clients' personal information.
Law enforcement agencies can also partner with other components of the criminal justice system. For instance, when holding public information sessions, law enforcement may wish to enlist the help of an attorney who is familiar with identity theft laws. As a legal expert, an attorney can inform citizens about the kind of evidence a victim must provide to prove that the identity theft occurred, how a case is selected for trial, and possible outcomes. In addition, if the attorney is willing, he or she could offer free legal advice to individuals who believe they are a victim of identity theft.
By working together, the public, community organizations, local businesses, banks, and law enforcement can develop ways to deter identity thieves. These kinds of partnerships between police and the community are integral to a cohesive community policing plan that recognizes that police are not alone in addressing public safety concerns.
The COPS Office has prepared a top-ten list of ways citizens can protect themselves from identity theft during the holiday season. We invite you to customize and distribute this list as part of your holiday crime-prevention campaign. Also, please visit the COPS web site at www.cops.usdoj.gov for our Identity Theft and Check and Card Fraud Problem-Oriented Policing Guides.
Identity Theft Prevention Tips for 2008
Before you begin shopping this holiday season, keep these tips in mind.
- Photocopy both sides of your credit and debit cards and store in a secure place. This way you have will the account numbers, expiration dates, and telephone numbers of customer service to report a lost card or if you think your account is being used fraudulently.
- Keep receipts in your wallet as opposed to the shopping bag. Should a receipt be lost or stolen, thieves would have your name and a portion of your account number to gain access to your account. Be sure to take the receipts out of your wallet when you get home.
- Only carry the credit cards you know you will use in your wallet. Take unnecessary personal identifying information out of your wallet. This includes your checkbook, Social Security card, pieces of paper with PIN numbers.
- Do not use debit cards when shopping online. Federal law limits your loss on a debit card to $50, but only if you report it within 2-days after discovering the theft. After 2-days, you could be responsible for all the unauthorized charges.
- When shopping online, only use a credit card. In the event that your card is used without your authorization, you are only responsible for the first $50 in charges.
- If possible, only shop on-line from U.S. companies. You have better protection under state and federal laws. International law may not protect you should you become a victim.
- When shopping on-line only purchase from companies that display https:// in their web address. The "s" indicates that the site is secure. You may also see a padlock, which also indicates the site is secure.
- If you shop online, ensure that your computer has the most up-to-date security software. This will reduce the chance of your computer being hacked from outsiders trying to gain access to your personal information.
- Review your bank and credit card statements carefully for any unauthorized purchases.
- If you think you have been a victim:
- Close those accounts that you think are in jeopardy.
- Place a "Fraud Alert" on your credit report by calling one of the following consumer reporting companies:
- Equifax: 800.525.6285
- Experian: 888.397.3742
- TransUnion: 800.680.7289
- File a police report by contacting [insert your agency information here]
- Report the theft to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) either online www.ftc.gov/idtheft or by calling 877.438.4261.

Cultural Sustainability through Farmers Markets
In agriculture, we talk a lot about sustainability. As a method of growing crops, caring for ecosystems like forests or wetlands, or even the economic sustainability of businesses—we look at this word from all angles. But there's another component to consider: cultural sustainability.
As a nation of immigrants, we have many rich and complex influences woven into the history of our country. Foods we eat, holidays we celebrate, how we create goods or perform services—these are all things that are shaped by the cultural identities of our families and the communities around us.
For many communities, farmers markets are playing a pivotal role in maintaining and enabling these cultural ties. Read more »

After "Sandy", the garden will be rebuilt by members and volunteers. Located on the Hudson River, all 72 beds were washed away. Mission: Provide residents with the opportunity to grow food and flowers in a beautiful setting, in a manner that does not harm the environment and that encourages friendships and cooperation. Members also donate produce to local food pantries through the Plant A Row For The Hungry program.
Mission:To educate food pantry clientele on the health benefits of fresh produce in the daily diet, provide gardening advice to pantry clients and community members interested in growing their own vegetables, provide hands-on workshops for youth on growing vegetables from seed starting through harvest and provide several thousand pounds of fresh vegetables to low income families in the Harvard community.
Mission: Of the CCS SpringGreen Garden is to provide organically grown fresh produce for the Food for Lane county on-site pantry. The garden will also be a demonstration and teaching site for anyone interested in learning to grow food for themselves and others. By providing fresh produce and an opportunity to learn to grow food for themselves and others the garden will empower people to make healthy changes in their lives and their family's life.
Mission: River City Harvest strives to provide gardening opportunities for everyone, as well as to grow fresh food for charitable organizations. We turned a vacant lot into a productive garden for the Salvation Army's family service program. In 2012 we harvested nearly 4 tons of produce to fill food baskets with healthy vegetables. Extra produce goes to the Cascade County Food Bank. It's truly a community effort run by enthusiastic gardeners with a bountiful result.
Mission: Our garden exists to serve two purposes, first to provide an opportunity and a place for our community to experiment and grow fresh produce for their family, and secondly, to share with those in our community who are in need.

It's FAKE, Type the IP in your browser... and you just get... to a joke site.
02-12-2011 #42
why are you so sure about it? http request goes on port 80, the DNS on port 53.
02-12-2011 #43
It's the dns which we used always before, it doesnt matter what is shows in your browser...
02-12-2011 #44
I don't see why someone doesnt boot linux UP, and use open SSL to create there own CA Certificate, then run through the linux machine as proxy like usual, then change the headers as needed.
02-12-2011 #45
Also go do a search and find out what the difference between CFW and hackers/cheaters. Just coz you run CFW DOES NOT mean your a cheater. You can still cheat on OFW and cheating was around years before CFW was even created. (How many times have I said this over the last week?)
When did I mention cheating? You need to calm down and read the whole post before running your mouth.
02-12-2011 #46
YOU STILL CAN BACK UP copyrighted game saves to ANOTHER PS3. what's really pathetic is that you said "Next time you want to sound smart"
everything i said is true. devs get the option to copyright saves. Most games are not copyrighted still.. and you CAN back up copyrighted gamesave to ANOTHER ps3.
02-12-2011 #47
Yes you could backup the game saves, your gamesaves are locked to your Playstation account. By that i mean your PSN login info and everything. If the other PS3 has your account info and PSN info, then you will be able to use it.
02-12-2011 #48
I managed to fix my issue, turns out my USB stick wasn't formatted correctly for linux.
Now I just need to figure out how to make certs. going to roll VMWare and install Linux now.
Backup/Restore ability DOES not do this. It will ONLY restore them if its on the SAME PS3. If you could copy PROTECTED, or as you call it 'copyrighted' gamesaves ONTO another PS3 WITHOUT CFW, then this would have never been a problem.
If Sony would have tied it TO your PSN account and not your PS3, this wouldn't have been such a problem.
You are probably talking about the Data Transfer Utility, BUT how the hell would you use that if your PS3 gets YLOD? Yeah, exactly.
02-12-2011 #49
Hmm the video from the first post is deleted, that was the only proof so far, I hope somebody is working on a video tutorial because this is really hard for regular users.
02-12-2011 #50
I noticed that, What I did notice about that YouTube account though was that they had just created it and had uploaded only that one video. So it seems the only sole purpose of it was to show it as prove.
Not sure if that PSN account they used was a new one, or his real one. But I believe he showed his PSN ID and MAC address as well.. But then again, it's probably a fake one just to show it as proof that it works.
Many people were also ranting on saying stuff like "WHERE THE HECK IS THE TUTORIAL!?" ... Who knows, maybe the person received too much crap out of nowhere and just decided to remove it so it doesn't get spread all over.
Too many conclusions of how this could have been deleted.. hmmm...

Any type of bean dip works well in this recipe; try low-fat or nonfat bean dip. Look for bean dip in the refrigerated or snack food section of the grocery store.
Cheddar cheese or colby-Monterey Jack cheese blend can be used in place of the hot pepper Monterey Jack cheese.
This recipe is a great party dip. Mound the dip on a decorative platter, surround it with a variety of tortilla chips, and garnish it with hot chilies.

Hibs set to see off Killie
Gareth Friel previews the weekend's SPL action and is keen on Hibs to get the better of Kilmarnock.
- Related Content
Hibs went down 3-2 at home to Motherwell last weekend to slip to fourth in the SPL table following their bright start to the campaign.
They are still only seven points behind Celtic and just three off second spot but a fifth defeat in six league matches against Kilmarnock on Sunday would see them dragged into the mid-table scrap.
Their opponents currently lie eighth but would move to within two points of the Hibees with victory at Rugby Park.
Killie were impressive 2-0 winners at Pittodrie against Aberdeen last weekend but very often good results are followed by bad for the Ayrshiremen.
They haven't yet managed to go more than two games unbeaten and on four occasions out of seven have followed a victory with a defeat.
Hibs have only won three times on the road this season but they certainly have the quality to claim all three points here and given the importance of this match to them, it may be worth backing them at just over 2/1.
Inverness are on a sensational run and you wouldn't want to back against them no matter the opposition. This weekend they face bottom side Dundee and are hot favourites to notch up an eighth league win of the season.
Despite sitting third in the table though, Terry Butcher's side have the worst defensive record in the league having shipped 32 in their 18 games.
Luckily for the boys at the back, their forward thinking team-mates have been on fire with the Highlanders finding the net on 38 occasions - five more than their nearest challengers.
They are vulnerable at the back and Dundee should get chances at the Caledonian Stadium so in the absence of much value elsewhere, it may be worth getting a Dark Blues forward onside.
Colin Nish has only scored twice this season so far but has missed a number of excellent opportunities. He's 11/4 to score on Saturday which is worth a small punt.

Talk about attention grabber! Muse-worthy babe Bar Refaeli was photographed looking sultry for this month's issue of Vogue Spain with wavy blonde locks and medium-wash denim. With an open jacket revealing her under-things and poses fit to weaken knees, it's hard to focus on the clothes in this editorial… unless you're denim-obsessed like we are! We couldn't help but gawk at the desaturated denim workshirt and the school-pride style sports jacket that would look amazing with any pair of skinny jeans this fall. See for yourself! Just make sure your boss isn't lurking over the computer. He might not be able to contain himself.

And the logic you used to explain why Kidd has a higher bounty than Pekoms can give you the answer as for why Enel could have a higher bounty than Enel despite being weaker.
Yes from a large distance he is.He'd also be a much,much greater threat to the civilians and the WG going by his insane personality,while Jimbe despite being strong and famous he isnt actually threating anyone.You just answered this with the Kidd-Pekoms comparison that you made.Ok, now at least you agree that Enel can be more dangerous than Jinbei. That's what I'm trying to say all along. If he just fights smart and start the fight in a distance then Enel would beat him. So saying Jinbei, one shotting Enel is the only possible outcome is not true. And let's be honest here, Enel is just a bad match up for Jinbei. His water techniques can be used against him. He'll be limited to his karate(if Jinbei hit him with his best karate technique then it's a different story).
So tell me what can Enel do to avoid this one shot?He cant react to Jimbe's attacks nor can he tank them.He would deal him some damage if Jimve was far,far away but thats all.
I'm not.He has a chance,but its like 0.1%.Yes Hal, Airicks is correct. You're selling him short by saying Jinbei or Sanji would just one shot him like Enel has no chance to win.
It.does.not.Deal.with.it.That's practically what I'm saying. Offense wise he's up there but his defense puts him just under the upper part of the high-tier group given he drops the god thingy and be smart. This is also what I think of Oda saying 500 mil "at the most" coz Enel will never be on par with guys like Akainu defensively. So I feel like it's the ceiling for the high tiers.
If he was on the upper high tier,he would be somewhat close to the top-tiers.But we know for a fact that any top-tier can stomp him with ease.Thus he isnt close to them,so he isnt upper high tier.End of story.
I'll quote myself again:
Is anything i'm saying here false?His physical stats are on the same general level as pre TS gearless Luffy-Fact.
Current Luffy is dozens of time stronger than that-Fact.
In the NW everyone and their mothers have haki-Obvious.
All top-tiers have haki-Painfully obvious.
All top-tiers are leagues above current Luffy/Jimbe level people- Fact
Conclusion:Any top-tier can stomp Enel.Its not rocket science.
Thats because we never had the chance to see his haki.All this said Enel needs some serious Haki training to compete with the mid lvl Vice Admirals or stronger. Don't get me wrong, he is extremely dangerous, it's just that he isn't on the same level as people like Marco.
Firefirst Ace would probably end up in a long as drawn out stalemate against him, kinda like he did with Jimbe. Ace is still stronger then Enel but his Haki hasn't been shown to be strong enough to take Enel out.

eeeeehhh... Oro told Kabuto that Itachi was too strong for him after the battle with konoha.... what other proof is needed? he left the organization 7 years in the past after that battle with Itachi.. hence Itachi was stronger back when he was 11 and MUCH stronger than him 10 years later as we saw on Itachi vs Sasuke.
Besides... all this are speculations of what Oro could have done but the fact is what happened. Oro got paralyzed with genjutsu he was gonna try to do something and Itachi literaly CUT that chance of counter to zero.
An seriously... if itachi wanted he could had killed Oro that day... but knowing his nature he probably let him go after he was no longer a danger for him.

As it turns out, in addition to owning the best skill package of any defenseman available for the 2013 NHL draft, American Seth Jones is also a quality judge of hockey talent.
He raised eyebrows, particularly in Canada, when he said before the World Junior Championships that the Americans had the best team. But Jones was proven right Saturday when Florida Panthers draft pick Rocco Grimaldi scored a pair of goals and John Gibson turned in another stingy goaltending performance to pace the USA to a 3-1 win against Sweden in the gold medal game in Ufa, Russia.
"My teammates luckily didn't make me look like an idiot," Jones told USA TODAY Sports by phone. "They all helped me out, starting with Gibson."
Gibson made 26 saves, raising his tournament save percentage to .955, a record for an American goalie at the WJC. He breaks Al Montoya's mark of .944, set in 2004 when he led the USA to a gold medal.
With a goals-against average of 1.36, Gibson, an Anaheim Ducks draft pick, was named the best goalie and MVP of the tournament.
"He is the best goalie in the world," Grimaldi offered.
Since the WJC is viewed a showcase of the world's best NHL prospects, Gibson has clearly established himself as premium prospect.
"He's the definition of the backbone of this team," said Jones, who had seven points and was plus-eight in the tournament. "He led us all the way. ...Even in the 2-1 losses to Canada and Russia, he played his heart out."
The Americans had a one-goal lead going into the third period, and Gibson made a memorable save against Viktor Arvidsson on a wraparound attempt to preserve the lead. Later in the period, he made a big save against Montreal Canadiens prospect Sebastien Collberg.
This was the USA's third medal and the second gold in the past four years at the WJC.
"Our success is a result of the effort of so many people over the course of the last 25 years," said USA Hockey executive director Dave Ogrean. "We now expect it and it's been that way for a while. We're extremely proud of this team, and all of our teams, and we'll continue to work hard to be the best in the world on a consistent basis."
Said Gibson: "We knew what we had. We knew we had four good lines, but we didn't know our scoring would be this spread out. But when your scoring is spread out, it means everyone is contributing."
Fifteen different players scored for the Americans. Grimaldi, who was supposed to be among the team's leading scorers, didn't score until the gold medal game. He scored twice in a span of 2:46 to give the USA a lead it wouldn't surrender. Florida prospect Vince Trocheck added an insurance goal into an empty net.
Grimaldi was demoted to the 13th forward spot against Slovakia, but he had four shots on goal in the gold-medal game.
"Rocco had to face a lot of adversity in this tournament," Jones said. "He had to do a lot of searching inside of himself and the way he came out of it was unbelievable. We could not have won without him."
MORE: Russia beats Canada for bronze
It wasn't as if Jones guaranteed a gold medal, but this tournament will be remembered for Jones believing in his team when others did not. Canada and Russia were considered the favorites.
"I was chirping at (Jones) a little bit," Grimaldi conceded. "I said, 'What are doing? You don't need to put us in the spotlight right away.' He told me he got led into the question, and he didn't mean like it came out. He was just saying we had a good team."
The Americans had a good team, and coach Phil Housley, a former NHL star defenseman, found a way to make improvements every game. The Americans were the top team defensively, including penalty-killing. Winnipeg Jets draft pick Jacob Trouba, an American alternate captain, was chosen as the tournament's top defenseman.
"He knew who to put out in every situation and who to put together," Gibson said. "He just knew us."

We have developed 2 tools which allow to do mass actions on multiple resources and activities.
Toolbar was the first version, and it appeared in every course site once you click Turn Editing on. Later we have converted it to the Block format, which is more flexible, can be added on as-needed basis, and has more functionality.
1) Mass Actions Block - 1.9 and 2.0. We actively develop and support this block.
Supported actions:
- select multiple items one-by-one, select all, select all in section(s), deselect all
- with those: indent/outdent, hide, show, delete move to a section
- 1.9 version: Download "massaction.zip" (12 kB) file uploaded and attached to this ticket on 27/Feb/10 3:04 AM. You do not need to get any other files.
- 2.0 version: Download the latest code from https://github.com/hqhoang/moodle-block_massaction
2) Mass Actions Toolbar - 1.9 only. We do not develop/support the toolbar patch anymore.
Supported actions:
- select multiple items one-by-one
- with those: hide, show, delete, move to a section
- 1.9 version: Download "updated patch October 26, 2009.txt"(24 kB) file which is attached to this ticket. You do not need to get any other files.
The Mass Actions block allows instructors to perform actions upon multiple resources or activities, rather than having to perform repeated actions on individual items.
Supported actions include mass selection, indentation, deletion, hiding, showing, mass moving. To select items to perform actions on, simply click the checkbox to the right of it in the course home page or use select functionality, then click the action you would like to perform in the block.
If you have any suggestions or bug reports, please add to this ticket.

I have realized that others may want to have the patch here, plus it will allow to keep track of them dome for different Moodle versions. So I am attaching the patch for Moodle 1.9.5+ build 20090604
We have found a bug in the toolbar - the course cache was not rebuilt right away after an action was applied, so while the module was set to be hidden (or open), it could still be displayed. Any other action on the course homepage would trigger the cache to be rebuilt, so the item would become hidden (open)
Attaching a fix.
Also, we will be re-doing the toolbar into the Block format, as it will allow greater flexibility for both instructors and admins, plus it will be less invasive to the code.
(New items to be added to the block: Select/Deselect all, Indent/Outdent)
Hi There,
I have just installed the block. Such a brilliant job.
However, whenever I click on the 'delete' option or actually any action options, I get a message saying I do not have permission.
Where have I gone wrong?
I guess, I just replied to your email.. so I will copy/paste
Is it only for Delete or for any other action?
What role are you in when you are trying to perform that action?
Try to check role permissions for the roles for that block. There are 2: view and use.
Sharmilee found the cause.
The issue occurs if you add the block as Sticky one as an admin.
I have attached an updated version of the block that has a fix for Internet Explorer (it is the very top file at the moment: massaction.zip (41 kB))
I've attached bad file several hours ago. So, here is a corrected one massaction.zip 12 kB
(can someone help me to clean up this ticket? I do not think I can delete bad files myself)
I just installed this on our 1.9.7 version, and when I click either Select All or one of the topic links, the browser freezes up and I have to kill the browser to regain access. Any ideas on what might be causing this?
Hi Elizabeth,
Can you please tell what have you installed: the block or the toolbar?
What is the browser that you use, and does it happen in all browsers?
Thank you
Thank you for this feature.
It speeds up course administration and is a blessing when you have a slow connection.
IMHO, this should be default behavior of Moodle interface.
This seems like a great block, but when I install it on 1.9.8 none of the checkboxes appear. Any ideas?
Hi Doug,
I cannot really help with installation , but I will try.
Have you got correct zip archive: 1. Zip Archive massaction.zip (12 kB)?
You do not have it added as a sticky block?
Have you added the block to the course homepage and clicked Turn Editing on?
Only the courses in the Week or Topics formats are supported.
I have the same problem as Elizabeth - the browser freezes when I click the dropdown "select all in section". But the problem occurs in one course only (which is in topics format). In other courses in works fine. And it doesn't make any difference whether ajax is enabled or not - in the courses where it works, it works with ajax enabled or disabled.
I am using Moodle 1.9.8,
Hi Barbara,
Can you please tell:
- What browser (version, number) and operating system do you use?
- Does this happen in all browsers?
- Do you have any sticky blocks, or any custom ones installed?
- If you will try the block on some new and "empty" course in topic format - will also not work? There is a possibility that block is chocking on some particular content item in the existing course.
Thank you!
P.s. we plan to update the block for 2.0, but most probably it will not be available till Spring 2012.
This is a great addition for Moodle, thank you very much !
However, I've been having some trouble installing it Debian GNU/Linux Squeeze, with Moodle 1.9.9.
I've downloaded massaction.zip and unzipped it in /usr/share/moodle/mod.
When I then login as admin and click on Notifications, it complains that:
"Module massaction: /usr/share/moodle/mod/massaction/version.php was not readable"
Normal, since this file does not exist. So I try by copying the version.php from another block. Then it complains with:
"Tried to modify database, but "/usr/share/moodle/mod/massaction/db/postgres7.sql" doesn't exist!"
Any hints ?
just checking - which .zip file you ave grabbed? Please make sure to get the latest one from 27/Feb/10 3:04 AM
I will check with our developers may be they will have some hints :/
Yes, we will be updating the Mass Actions block. Hopefully this task will be completed by the end of this year, or sooner.
Many thanks Elena. It's a brilliant block, and our users are missing it terribly!
UMN now has a version for Moodle 2 (tested on 2.0.* only), any feedback are appreciated. Thanks.
Michael - I've added you as a watcher. The code has been made available via Moodle Plugins (http://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=block_massaction) but I wanted to see if there seemed to be interest in including in core or if this should instead be moved to CONTRIB. Peace - Anthony
Huy, that seems to work well on our test installation of Moodle 2.1.2.
Hi Huy,
I have installed Mass Actions on 2.1.3+, and have noticed very slow load times for moving course resources/activities. The browser spins for 4 to 5 minutes. If I close the browser before the page loads, log back in, and visit the course, the items actually have moved. It is just the course page load that lags. Deleting, show/hide, etc. are very quick.
The server runs Suse 11.4, Mysql 5.1, PHP 5.3. I looked in the slow query log for Mysql and did not find anything related to Mass Actions.
Any ideas?
@Anthony, I would like to see this made part of core. I would also like to suggest that the features described in http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Linked_activities be considered for inclusion in a future version.
I'm now testing this block on a copy of our 2.2 server (soon to update to 2.3). The conflict with AJAX is kind of annoying. Mass Actions is much easier when one wants to move items from one section to another, but within a section, the AJAX editing tools are much easier than the up/down arrows. Could this limitation be addressed?
Note: The Mass Actions block will not display when using the Collapsed Topics format. One has to switch the course to a different format, display the block, complete the desired edits, then switch back to the Collapsed Topics format.

Not As Bad As Columbus - Oh, Wait.
JP Nikota

Let's hope that losing 6-2 a few weeks ago, and 7-0 tonight to the Boston Bruins prompts some kind of change in strategy from Wilson and his players going forward. Like, playing hockey, as opposed to not.
To be honest, the Leafs didn't play an awful first period. Yes, the penalty kill looked weak as Tyler Seguin scored his first of three (sigh), but the Leafs had a couple good chances, and wound up out-shooting the B's 7-5. A 1-0 deficit going into the second period obviously wasn't good, but after the Leafs' 6-2 loss the last time these two teams met, it was a lot more palatable.
The fact that the Leafs were able to stay off the PK for the rest of the game is about the best thing that could be said, tonight.
The second period is where the wheels fell off. Mind-blowing defensive lapses accounted for the most of the goals, although Ben Scrivens looked increasingly porous, until he was finally pulled for Jonas Gustavsson. The last two against Scrivens were particularly awful. When your team plays two goalies in a game, and they post a .643 and .667 respectively, your team is in trouble - not that we're blaming the goalies for that.
Every defender got caught at least once, though Franson and Komisarek were particularly atrocious. Let's hope Schenn has found his game.
Glenn Healy was in rare form this evening. At one point, he complained that a lack of passing was preventing the Leafs' top guns from having any kind of success this season. Apparently, he hasn't seen who two of the three scoring leaders are. On another occasion, he pointed out that the Leafs 'didn't look like a team that wanted to win' when they came out of the gate. My narrative detector was going nuts. Had to take the batteries out.
The Leafs currently have a negative goal differential despite being in first place overall in the league. This doesn't bode well.
On the other hand, as I write this, the Leafs are still in first place, overall. Things could be worse.
Sigh ... a reality check indeed. I think the Leafs have learned & improved from earlier setbacks this year so I'm hoping that will be the case here. I've still faith the path forward is onward and upward - but no new contract offer to Wilson for some time yet.

What to expect
It's hard to know what will happen to any one person. For example, one man's erections may come back after radical prostatectomy while another man's may not. But if you do have a sexual problem, your health care team can often find the cause and give you an idea of your chance for recovery.
One clue that a problem is a medical one and one that may not go away is if it happens in all situations. Otherwise, it may be psychological and short-term. For example, if you have trouble getting or keeping an erection, does it happen every time you have sex? Are your erections better when you relax, when you stimulate your own penis, or when you unexpectedly see someone attractive? If you have a few partners, are your erections better with one of them than with the others?
Dealing with short-term problems
As men age or go through health changes, it's common that feelings of sexual excitement no longer lead to an instant erection. You may just need more time and stroking to get aroused.
If you have trouble reaching orgasm during sex, you may not have found the right kind of touching. You might even think about buying a hand-held electric vibrator. A vibrator can give very intense stimulation. Try having a sexual fantasy or looking at erotic stories or pictures. The more excited you are, the easier it is to reach orgasm.
A number of men have their first orgasms after cancer treatment while asleep, during a sexual dream. If this happens to you, it's proof that you are physically able to have an orgasm. It's also helpful if your partner notices that you have erections during sleep. Because sleep erections aren't affected by mood or state of mind, they give you an idea of the best erection your body can produce. Now it's up to you to set things in motion when you are awake.
Finding the cause of problems that appear to be permanent
The best time to talk with your doctor or cancer team about side effects or long-term changes in your sex life is before treatment, so that you know what to expect and can learn about the usual recovery and how long it takes. But you can bring up the subject any time during and after treatment, too. If you did not discuss sexual side effects before treatment, it's best to do so soon after your treatment. This way your doctor can help you find the cause of the problem and develop a plan to help you deal with it.

I am pleased and honored to be asked to write a column for Community Media of Colorado describing our business environment from my perspective as executive director of the Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce. I thought it would be fitting to start at the beginning; what is a chamber of commerce and what services can it provide for you?
As taken straight from our mission statement, we consider ourselves "an advocate for business, helping members succeed and prosper through networking, Internet exposure, advertising opportunities, education and referrals." But what does that really mean?
El Paso County is a social county, with most preferring to make personal connections with those they do business with, or at the very least, asking for recommendations from those in the know. If you just opened up a new business and was looking to make those connections, where would you go? To the chamber of commerce, of course. Look at us as an avenue to your success. We provide the structure, arrange the venues and invite the local businesses to come meet each other in a relaxed atmosphere. Most chambers have regular gatherings. We have Business After Hours the third Tuesday of every month, which are in a different business each time; a quarterly new member luncheon; a couple of annual breakfasts; and a host of other events. The great thing about the events is they are diversified in their topics and goals. Annually, we host a kids' fishing derby, a family health fair, the Front Range Business Expo, casino night, Fourth of July street fair, a Bowl-a-Thon, the golf classic and a recycle Day. Whew, that is quite a list and we are looking to add even more next year.
You will notice that some are strictly business orientated, some are community orientated, and some a mix of both. What better way to get to know your fellow business owners and patrons of the community than sitting side by side helping each other's kids catch a fish or competing for the lowest golf score? The advice I give to chamber members who are either new to business or those who are looking to grow their business is take a look at your target market. What are they doing and where are they going? Looking for families? Have a booth at the street fair. Looking for other business owners as your clients? Go to the business expo. A great mix of both is our after hours events. Select those avenues that will get you the most exposure in your market.
What the chamber is not for is just being a name on a list. Having said that, we do have many businesses that belong strictly to help support us and their community because they feel strongly in the cause and that it is the right thing to do. For you other businesses, it takes getting out and getting involved. Think of it like a gym. Belonging is not enough to get in shape, you have to actually go. Don't be afraid, take the next step and contact your local chamber of commerce to see how it can help you.
Another aspect of the chamber is more politically driven. Many do not realize we get involved in local issues, dealing with state, county, and community leaders on those subjects that either do or could have an impact on our businesses and their growth and also on our quality of life in the region. At the Tri-Lakes Chamber, our board of directors decided to not take sides in matters along party lines or specific candidates. Instead we stick to issues that are being put to a vote in our region, and the support is based on how they affect the entire business community. Do not be surprised though to see other chambers endorse a candidate as that is within our rights as chambers and our designation as 501(c)6 organizations.
We also work closely with our local Economic Development Corporation to attract businesses to the area and help grow and revitalize the area. Attracting more jobs and residents is the key to helping all of our local businesses. We work very closely with the other local non-profits to ensure services that are needed are hopefully being supplied.
Lastly, here at the Tri-Lakes Chamber we are a visitor's center. Every year, hundreds of individuals either passing through or moving to the area come to us for advice as to where to go and what to do. It is a great pleasure to be able to direct them to the many attractions available all up and down the Front Range.
