If the smartphone world was a teenage Hollywood movie, the Nokia Lumia 710 would be the mousy, bookish girl with glasses who sits at the back of the class, no one speaks to and who has never kissed a boy. The 710's bigger sister, the Lumia 800 would be the blonde-haired cheerleader, class president, home-coming queen (do they still have those?) who is going out with the quarterback. The question is, like most predictable Hollywood fare, will the quiet, less showy Lumia 710 turn out to be the all-singing, all-dancing star of the Nokia-Windows Phone show? Let's find out.
In terms of design the Lumia 710 was always going to lose out when compared to the strikingly beautiful Lumia 800. The 800 took Nokia phones in a new direction with a smooth, seamless design coupled with a curved glass screen. Simple, clean and gorgeous.
The 710 on the other hand shows traces of the Finnish company's history and echoes the design of Symbian phones from a couple of years ago, such as the C7. The 710 features the same size screen as the 800, but instead of the unbroken smooth lines on the former, the 710's Gorilla Glass front is broken by rather large, and certainly ugly, physical buttons.
These buttons, (back, home and search) are compulsory on all Windows phones but most devices integrate them into the screen as capacitive buttons, or at least use more stylish physical ones. The backlit buttons here are just one large button which actually has a nice action and the three functions are distinct enough not to cause confusion, but it's still not a very elegant solution.
Another issue with the front of the screen is a slight millimetre-high bezel running around the edge of the screen. With Windows Phone 7 utilising a swiping action in almost all its menus, this bezel does nothing to help the smoothness of operation and at times is really irritating.
The screen surround and part of the side of the phone is made of glossy black plastic (a white version is also available). While we would have preferred the polycarbonate matt plastic like the 800, it doesn't look too bad. On the rear you'll find a replaceable plastic cover which was cyan in our review sample. The matt finish is lovely and gave the phone a premium feel you don't get with the likes of the HTC Radar - this matt finish is much nicer than the glossy white version we first saw.
The phone normally comes with a black or white backplate to match the front, along with two extra ones in the box (cyan, magenta or yellow) and although personalising your phone in this way is not a top priority for most, it's still a nice extra and in this case adds to the look and feel of the phone. On the back, you'll find the five megapixel camera along with single LED flash, as well as the phone's speaker grille.
The phone slopes from front to back meaning the all the sides are slightly angled and this throws up problems for the buttons located there. On the right edge you'll find a volume rocker up top as well as the required (by Microsoft) physical shutter button for the camera. While these are located sensibly at the top and bottom of the right edge, because of the sloping sides, they are not the easiest to press and on a number of occasions our fingers slipped while trying to press them – especially the volume buttons.
On the top you'll find the power/screen lock button, which is also awkward to press, along with the headphone jack and microUSB port. Unlike the 800, the battery in the 710 is replaceable by simply removing the back cover. Lifting out the battery will give you access to the SIM card slot (the 710 like the 800 uses a micro-SIM). While some people would rather have easier access to the SIM card slot, for most users this won't be a problem.

I really wish you guys would stop bashing on anything that doesn't have dual cores. In real world performance, there's strong evidence that dual core phones are no faster than high end single core CPUs. Yes for high end gaming there's a need for the slight boost but on Windows Phone 7, as this preview constantly states, there is more than enough power.
Can we stop the whole "Mines bigger than yours" please?
So the Lumia 710 is damned because, despite having some perky software, it wears budget clothes (for a budget phone..?).
But dress it up with the premium clothes you say it lacks (and add 90 to the name) and now it is damned for the software.
I hear your caveats about the price points, but really really it is Catch 22 for Nokia with you guys!
Have you ever considered whether it's you with the agenda? I would love nothing more than for Nokia to get back in the game. Sadly they seem to be continuing to, well, wobble. Indeed I wonder whether they may have messed things up royally by going the route they have - having finally got some good hands on time with the N9 today, it was that handset that excited me far more than either of these.
Likewise, at least on the face of it, Symbian only needed a few basics tweaked to make it a competent OS. These eventually came in the most recent updates but now Nokia has turned its back on the platform.
In fact it seems pretty clear to me that it's Nokia you should be narked at, not us.
We don't bash on about it, so long as the phone doesn't purport to be a premium handset (as in the case of the 710). However, dual-core chips do offer noticeable performance advantage (yes, we were sceptics too until we actually used some of them) with little discernible downside so too right we come to expect it on top-end phones.
That said, had the 800 proved totally to be free of pauses and stutter in use, we would've said so. However, as we point out, it was surprisingly slow at loading some apps, and switching between apps could be quite tardy too. It wasn't appalling, but neither was it
'fault' free.
Sure I do Ed, but then I'm just the devil's advocate, you are the trusted reviewer. So I can be forgiven an 'agenda', you have to hold to a higher standard. It must be difficult to be at once both passionate about the subject and dispassionate in the review.
The worrying thing is that Nokia have had a long time to come up with something fresh and this is the best they can do? I agree with Ed, Nokia should be blamed. These guys used to make amazing phones and now they just seem happy to be following the pack, albeit quite a few steps behind everyone. Poor showing.
As I have commented before the main problem with these phone is lack of app support. I have an omnia 7 which is great for work, exchange, hotmail, office apps.
But the list that you posted of missing apps is nowhere near long enough! No iplayer as you said, no alternative browsers, and if anyone creates an app for anything serious WP7 support seems to be at the bottom of their list!
I am going android or iphone next!
Re the 710 "puporting to be a premium handset". I'd be interested to know people see the price bands of premium vs other band presumably mid range and budget. For smartphones i tend to think of £350+ as being premium, Lumia 800, Iphone, Galaxy II, Nexus etx and £200 - £350 as mid range with £200 and below being Budget (ZTE / San Francisco etc). I can't really see the 710 as a premium phone at £270.
As well as the Dual Core gubbins being un-necessary (at this time, the platform doesn't need it as the performance on a single core is more than on a par with it's n core bretherin); the platform doesn't support expandable storage so I really don't see it being a negative. If there was support for it, but the device didn't have it, then sure, mark it as a negative. Do you (I havent' read so am just asking) mark down the iPhones because a lack of expandable storage?
The lack of apps is becoming less of an issue as the bulk of the apps for the general public is probably getting closer to parity. (clearly there's still a long way to go mind).
"What Do You Think?"
I think I've read this review before. Has it been re-released today?
From an alternative perspective, I actually really like this phone and I think it offers a lot for the money. I can understand the criticisms, but for those interested in the 710 it is worth trying. Windows Phone does divide opinions.
Harking back to an earlier discussion, we are certainly aware of the dangers is comparing specs on phones with different platforms and we actually passionate about it. In fact we wrote a feature about this very topic in October:
Hi Martin, this is the full review of the phone which has gone up today. what was previously up on the site was a hands-on preview following our limited time with the phone at Nokia World last November.
I can't say that I agree with you regarding the performance of this phone compared to the dual-core phones such as the iPhone 4S and Galaxy S II. This phone is noticeably slower in my opinion, especially when you have a number of apps open.
The face the iPhone's don't have expandable storage is certainly a negative and whether it's the default of the platform or handset maker, the end result is the same, meaning users are stuck with 8GB (or in fact just 6.2 usable storage)

Savage called Media Matters "a gay smear sheet," CEO David Brock "a psychopath"
Research ››› ››› MATTHEW BIEDLINGMAIER
On the April 11 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Michael Savage referred to Media Matters for America as "a gay smear sheet" and called Media Matters President and CEO David Brock "a psychopath in my opinion, who hates me." Savage read from an April 14, 2006, Media Matters item, which noted that Savage called the woman who alleged she was raped by Duke University lacrosse team members a "Durham dirtbag" and a "dirty, verminous black stripper," and that he also said, "This is the radical, feminist, lesbian agenda being acted out on our campuses in a witch-hunt manner against these white boys, very much like the socialist communist agenda being acted out on the American stage by the extras called the illegal aliens." After reading his previous comments, Savage stated: "That's me. I am proud to tell you I agree with every word that I said a year ago." Savage claimed that Media Matters "ought to apologize to me" -- presumably because of the April 11 decision to drop the sexual assault charges in the Duke case.
As Media Matters for America has documented, Savage has repeatedly claimed that Media Matters has an "obsession" with him and has referred to Media Matters as "a group of swine." As Media Matters has also noted, on the February 27 broadcast of his show, Savage called Media Matters "a gay website that attacks me every day."
The Savage Nation reaches more than 8 million listeners each week, according to Talkers Magazine, making it the third-most-listened-to talk radio show in the nation, behind only The Rush Limbaugh Show and The Sean Hannity Show.
From the April 11 edition of Talk Radio Network's The Savage Nation:
SAVAGE: There is a gay smear sheet out there called Media Matters. It's run by a psychopath in my opinion, who hates me. Hates me. And here's what they said on April 14, 2006, trying to crucify me. The madmen at this gay smear sheet said:
Savage called alleged Duke rape victim a "dirty, verminous black stripper"
Summary: Michael Savage referred to the woman who alleged she was raped at a party attended by members of the Duke University lacrosse team as a "Durham dirt-bag" and "dirty, verminous black stripper" because, according to Savage, she "lied when she said she was raped at a party." Savage added that "[t]his is the radical, feminist, lesbian agenda being acted out on our campuses in a witch-hunt manner against these white boys, very much like the socialist communist agenda being acted out on the American stage by the extras called the illegal aliens," whom he also referred to as "brown supremacists."
That's me. I am proud to tell you I agree with every word that I said a year ago. They ought to apologize to me. But as you well know, the left has no conscience.

Sunday's Gazette carried a particularly irresponsible op-ed piece by U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster concerning the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare to its opponents). He uses a lot of numbers and hypotheses to make it sound as if we were headed for disaster. In fact, while the Affordable Care Act falls far short of fixing our nation's dismal health care system, it does make it a lot better. Let's just look at some facts (easily findable at the official website).
Shuster says:
• 20 million to 65 million could lose employer-sponsored health care (or maybe not)
• Individual health care premiums to rise 32 percent to 40 percent (threatened, not required or certain)
• Reduces Medicare Advantage; almost half will lose Medicare Advantage (Medicare Advantage plans are private, not government, insurance plans that use Medicare. If the plan drops out of Medicare, you still have your original Medicare insurance, which is now stronger.)
• Cuts Medicare $11,996 per retiree (arriving at this figure requires some very tricky accounting)
• 25 percent of Pennsylvania doctors will stop accepting new Medicare patients (They say they will, maybe, but they would end up losing a lot of income if they did.)
• Program comes between doctor and patient (In fact, the opposite is true; under the Affordable Care Act there are no restrictions on your choice of doctors other than those imposed by your insurance company, and insurance companies will no longer be able to deny payments if you have to use an out-of-system emergency room.)
• Creates higher taxes (Shuster would be hard-pressed to identify these taxes.)
• Puts burden on small businesses — 70 percent say it is an obstacle to new hiring (but, of course, they also say they don't understand the law, which will give them up to a 50 percent tax break to cover employee health insurance)
What he doesn't say:
• Can't be denied insurance because of pre-existing condition
• Children covered until age 26 under parents' insurance
• Medicare trust fund strengthened
• Reduction in cost of medications
• Tax breaks for small employers for employee health insurance
• No more dollar limits on benefits

Badass New Graphic Art 'Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance' Posters!
by Alex Billington
November 18, 2011
Source: SHH
Time to unleash hell! Yes! I've been waiting for these posters to hit the web. As a reminder for the on-going poster contest for Neveldine/Taylor's Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (details here), Columbia has released at least four new graphic art posters that are just plain badass. These are actually my favorite bits of art, as we first saw them printed as huge banners on display outside at Comic-Con this summer, and now we have high res versions of the art online. Nicolas Cage returns as the flaming demon Ghost Rider in this sequel - watch the first trailer here. Check out these four new kick ass designs below for some inspiration!
Click on any of the art below to be taken back to either JoBlo or SuperHeroHype to see full-size versions.
As seen in the first official trailer release in August for Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, Nicolas Cage returns and stars with Idris Elba, Ciarán Hinds as the Devil, and Johnny Whitworth as the villain Blackout. "This version, we wanted to give people what we think comic book fans really want to see with Ghost Rider. It is darker and more intense. He is from a nightmare. He will scare the hell out of you," director Brian Taylor told Collider at Comic-Con. The story was conceived by David S. Goyer, with a screenplay by Scott M. Gimple & Seth Hoffman. Columbia is opening Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance in theaters in 3D starting February 17th, 2012 early next year. I can't wait to see more, this looks awesome!

Rochester Junior Woman's Club Awards
Rochester, MI June 2, 2014 — Rochester Junior Woman's Club (RJWC), along with the Greater Rochester Area Community Foundation, awarded Martha Benjaminsen of Stoney Creek High School and Carlton Hunter of Adams High School, both a $500 scholarship at the annual awards ceremony held May 21, 2014 at Stoney Creek High School Auditorium.
The Rochester Junior Woman's Club Memorial Scholarship was established in 1994 to assist seniors from Rochester Community Schools. The recipients are selected based on their activities in community volunteerism and service during their high school careers as well as their overall grade point average.
Martha Benjaminsen will be attending Oakland University this fall majoring in General Business management. She has volunteered through the Stoney Creek Key Club, National Honors Society, and St. Andrew Church. Her favorite volunteer position was helping out in a Kindergarten class for Saint Andrew's Religious Education.
"I enjoyed this age of students because they are excited to learn new things, and they always put me in a good mood," said Benjaminsen, "I plan to continue my volunteer work with St. Andrew Church and with any local groups and events that fit my schedule. I enjoy volunteering my time because it makes me feel good, and I like giving back to my community."
Carlton Hunter will be attending the University of Michigan this fall and plans on going into a field related to humanities or in the social sciences. She has been an active volunteer through Key Club and the National Honors Society.
"Through these programs, I have been able to volunteer at a variety community activities such as the Brooksie Way and Art and Apples. My favorite activity to volunteer at, by far, was with the McGregor Tutoring Program. Organized by Catherine Caputo and Patricia McCormick, a retired and current member of the McGregor staff, the a group of underprivileged elementary school students meets every Monday and Wednesday at the Rochester Estates Trailer Park to be tutored by high school volunteers. Over the years, I learned that the children needed more than just tutoring, but also friends to count on, and role models to look up to. This volunteer experience has most definitely inspired me to continue my work as a volunteer, and I hope to, one day, volunteer abroad, or even start my own nonprofit. I volunteer because I am hopeful for a brighter future, and I feel that giving what I can to people in need will, in turn, inspire them to give a little of whatever they can, to hopefully build a stronger community. I love thinking back upon the lives I've touched, and the smiles I have helped to create because it reminds me of the goodness that is possible to create in the world," said Hunter.
The Rochester Junior Woman's Club would like to congratulate both of these well deserving individuals and wish them well as they begin this new phase of their lives in the fall.
For over 50 years the Rochester Junior Woman's Club has contributed to the growth and vitality of the community through volunteer service and donation of funds to local charities and organizations. Since its inception, the Rochester Junior Woman's Club has donated more than 1 million hours of community service and raised more than $850,000 to support the local community.
If you are interested in learning more information about the club please contact Cyndi at (248) 941-7991 or firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also visit their website at www.rjwc.org or follow them on Facebook at "Rochester Junior Woman's Club.

Historical Sites
Often referred to as the "military capital of the American Revolution," Morristown, NJ has a rich history. Morristown was originally settled by English Presbyterians from Long Island and Connecticut in 1715 and was known as New Hanover. In 1739, Morristown adopted its present name and became the county seat of the newly formed Morris County. The city and county are named after Lewis Morris, the first royal governor of the New Jersey. The city was small but bustling until the American Revolution, maintaining about 250 inhabitants and numerous churches, schools, taverns, shops, farms, and mills.
After victories against English forces at both Princeton and Trenton, General George Washington of the Continental Army chose Morristown as his headquarters in 1777. His decision to choose Morristown was made because of its strategic value due to its proximity to both New York and Philadelphia. Also the surrounding area was ripe was industry, natural resources, and residents with a reputation for resourcefulness. Morristown's significance during the revolution fueled successful efforts by historical preservationists to create Morristown National Historical Park. This military park, which includes the preserved encampments of Jolly Hollow and Fort Nonsense, is recognized as the first of its kind in U.S. history.
Morristown became a major transit point for coal and other resources in the region when the Morris Canal was completed in 1831. For a century this canal would be used to ship coal from the Lehigh Valley to New York and northern New Jersey, facilitating tremendous industrial growth in the region. However, Morristown's 19th century exploits are not limited only to industry, but innovation as well. On January 6, 1838, Samuel F. B. Morse and Alfred Vail successfully sent the first telegraph message.
Today Morristown is a major New York Metropolitan transit point. NJ Transit Midtown Direct Service, as well as special transit-oriented zoning, makes Morristown a notable point in the greater New York commuter rail system.

Check out this beaut ute and learn the Indigenous creation story of The Sky-Raising Magpies.
Using the magpie as a symbol of territorial boundaries, family strength and community relationships, people in a country community created this work of art with a Holden FC Ute as their collective 'canvas.'
Created by a collaborative team of Gunai/Kurnai Aboriginal artists from East Gippsland, led by Lake Tyers artist and teacher Catherine Larkins, this ute/artwork is a vehicle for telling the tale of how magpies created the dawn – complete with large-scale wings and tail, and nest basket in the tray. It was originally exhibited at the 2002 Melbourne Festival as part of the Bute Utes project.
Mixing painting and engraving with metalwork and basketry, this artwork is a celebration of cross-cultural collaboration and storytelling.

Hall announces resignation as USC Upstate's Director of Athletics to become Commissioner of the Southern States Athletic Conference
Mike Hall, who has served as the Director of Athletics at USC Upstate for 19 years, has resigned his position to become the Commissioner of the Southern States Athletic Conference. Hall's last day at Upstate will be April 12.
Hall ends a19-year tenure at the head of the athletics department at Upstate. Over his 19 years, he oversaw many changes to the department and helped spearhead the move from NCAA Division II to NCAA Division I membership in the Atlantic Sun Conference in 2007. During his tenure, Upstate Athletics saw more than $10 million in facility and infrastructure improvements.
"At this time in my life, I felt it was time to move in a new direction and am excited for this opportunity at the Southern States Athletic Conference," said Hall. "It is a bittersweet feeling to leave USC Upstate. There are many great people here. I am very proud of our student-athletes and coaches and the accomplishments they have achieved both athletically and academically during my time here. I am thankful for the support of the University administration for the vision we had in growing athletics and am proud of the facility improvements we have made as part of that vision. I am grateful to Dr. John Stockwell (former Chancellor) for giving me the opportunity to lead this department when he hired me in 1994. It is refreshing to see how much Dr. Tom Moore (current Chancellor) supports athletics and I look forward to seeing continual success.
"I am qualified for the job at the SSAC because of the vast experiences I have had at Upstate. Upstate has prepared me for this new adventure and I am very grateful to the University for its influence on the development of my professional career."
"Mike Hall has provided great service to the University of South Carolina Upstate and he leaves a great legacy for his work here during the past 19 years as the athletic director," said Dr. Tom Moore, Chancellor at USC Upstate. "His accomplishments at the NCAA Division II level led us to Division I where we have been remarkably successful. Mike's impact will be forever felt here at USC Upstate and I wish him the best as he moves on to the position of Commissioner of the Southern States Athletic Conference."
Hall came to Upstate after serving as an assistant athletic director for academics and compliance at Liberty University, his alma mater (1981). He also served as men's golf coach at Liberty during his 10-year tenure in the athletic department at the school.
At Upstate, Hall enjoyed tremendous successes during his 19 years at the head of the athletic program. He oversaw a program that won 28 conference championships in the A-Sun and Peach Belt conferences, had three teams compete in national championships before settling for second place finishes (men's soccer in 1995 and 1998 and men's golf in 1997), and had 33 student-athletes earn Academic All-America honors.
When Hall was named Director of Athletics in 1994, he led an administrative staff of four individuals and a small coaching staff. Now, the athletic department has grown to more than 50 coaches and staff. He also upgraded more than 20 coaches and staff positions from part-time to full-time status and oversaw the creation of a number of staff positions in an effort to give administrative support to the coaches and student-athletes.
A member of the Chancellor's Cabinet for 19 years, Hall was instrumental in Upstate hosting several NCAA and conference championships or tournaments. Among those hosting opportunities was the 1995 and 1998 NCAA Division II Men's Soccer Championship Final Four, 1995 NCAA Division II Men's and Women's Cross Country Championships, 1998 NCAA Division II Men's Basketball South Atlantic Regional Championships, and numerous A-Sun and Peach Belt Conference championships.
Hall's service has reached beyond the campus borders at Upstate. He served as the Chairman of the NCAA Division II Men's Basketball Committee from 2004-06 and was the Chair of the South Atlantic Region for men's basketball from 2002-06. He was the Chairman of the Atlantic Sun Administrator's Committee in 2011-12 and the Atlantic Sun Executive Committee in 2012.
Hall has also been involved in the greater Spartanburg and Upstate communities. He is a member of the Lions Club and was the founder of the Spartanburg Lions Club golf tournament and auction, was Chairman of the International Challenge Cup golf tournament for Mobile Meals in 2011 and 2012, served on the executive committee for the 1999 U.S. Junior Olympics Cross Country Championships, was event coordinator for the 1995 German Olympic Team Training Camp and served as a member of the Pan American Games for the Blind.
Hall leaves Upstate to become the next Commissioner of the South States Athletic Conference (SSAC). The SSAC competes on the NAIA Division I level and has 15 member institutions in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Tennessee.
"I will continue to be a fan of Upstate Athletics and follow the progress of the teams," said Hall. "Upstate has been a large part of my life and the life of my family. My three girls were in elementary school when I started here and Phyllis and I have watched them grow up, graduate college and become outstanding women during my time at Upstate. They became Spartan fans and my entire family was a part of the athletic department and the campus community for many years. We will miss being a part of Upstate."
Plans for the athletic director's position will be announced soon. Any announcement on the position will be made by the Chancellor's office through University Communications.

Opinions of Ideal push-in wire connectors
38 Attachment(s)
For the last 18 months or so I have used nothing but Ideal push-in connectors for wiring connections in J-boxes. They are much easier to install than wire nuts, and, IMO, better for a DIY project in that they are easy to inspect to make sure the wire is installed solidly. I have read up on them, and they use a different connection system than the infamous 'back-stabbed' receptacles. From what I have read, there have been no reports of problems with Ideal connectors. If there is such a report, please post a link because I couldn't find it.
Anyway, one concern that has been raised is that they 'may' not be up to high amp loads. This winter, I ran a 1500W space heater in the basement pretty much 12 hours a day. The circuit was one I ran and connected with Ideals. After the circuit had run for many hours, I opened the J-Box and put a ammeter clamp on the hot wire and got a reading of 14 amps on the circuit. The connectors were cool to the touch and looked exactly the same as the day I had put them in, six months before.
As far as I can tell, these things work as advertised. I know they are rated and approved for connections and are routinely used in new construction residential projects. Please post your opinions on these connectors. Thanks.
Here is a box in my basement with them used for the connections. I used connectors with extra slots so I could add a circuit later.

For what it's worth, a Master Electrician I know feels the same way as you, and will used only wire nuts.

For what it's worth, I also like the plastic push in cable clamps. They work great!:wink:
Here's another pic of the Ideal 'In-Sure'
They have been around a while, at least four years
Might be a good idea to pick some up
One area is where you come across a box where some handyman has cut the wires super short.
The Ideal 'In-Sure' should make an easier, faster connection where you can visually verify the contact
I had no trouble pulling out a push-in connection in my dad's panel that was made with one of those things. It was about as easy as pulling out a push-in connection on, say, a 48 cent P&S single-pole toggle. Just to be safe, I threw it away and replaced it with a wire nut. When I see push-in connections, I think "lazy electrician."
I'm not an electrician, but I am a perfectionist. It annoys me when I see some of the shortcuts some hired professionals make.

I understand the opinion that they are somehow 'less than.' This opinion is widely shared with those in the profession. What I would like to find out is proof that they are. In my experience (admittedly limited) they have performed quite well, with zero problems of any kind that I have observed.
For what it is worth, I work in Codes and Regulations (not in electrical) and we (Metro Louisville) have approved these for years with no documented failures in any circuit, ever.
I suppose we'll see how they're still doing in another 20 years. Will they still be working as well as a 30 year old back-stabbed outlet or light switch? :wink:
Ive been seeing these wire connectors more prevalant in Halo and other recessed can lights as well. We just cut them off and hard wire all our can lights.
First time I used them, I noticed that the wires would turn inside the connector as I pushed it into the box. Looking inside the connector, the wires are now leaning to the left or right, depending on the way the wire is being stressed from outside the connector. That's not a good feeling for me.
I use them for existing grounds that have been cut short, otherwise I use wirenuts.
38 Attachment(s)
One of the reasons I put an ammeter on a connection that fed a space heater was I wanted to see if the connection was warm. It wasn't. There was no evidence of heat, arcing or anything abnormal. If used properly, in a J-box, with strain relief on the cable I have no reservations about using them.
Remember, the ideal 65 twister was approved by the ul. Just because the ul says its ok, doesn't mean it is. I'm not trying to say these are not solid connections, but I love wire nuts and will stay with them.
i won't use 'backstabbed spring clip' outlets. found them loose too many times......
but i WILL use what i THOUGHT at first was 'spring clipped' until the wire fell back out and i realised that you had to screw the side screw tight to clamp the wire inside.
twist/wirenut/tape still seems to me to be the most secure for JBs though.
Who needs to tape their wirenuts?

Randall told to pay 10% of Aristocrat's court costs
Page Tools
Poker machine company Aristocrat Leisure will have to pay 90per cent of the legal costs - estimated at about $1 million - which it incurred defending an action brought against it by sacked chief executive Des Randall.
Mr Randall must pay his own costs plus the remaining 10 per cent of Aristocrat's legal bills, the NSW Supreme Court has ruled.
Mr Randall lost his job in April last year for misleading the board and the sharemarket over the company's unachievable 2002 profit target.
Last month in the Supreme Court the former Aristocrat chief executive lost his $13 million unfair dismissal claim. But he was successful in getting his 2002 pre-tax bonus of $900,000 paid as well as recouping relocation expenses for a move from Australia to the US which cost the Randalls between $300,000 and $400,000. Justice Cliff Einstein said the payment of PAYE tax on the bonus was a matter for Mr Randall.
But because he missed the profit target he also missed out on receiving an expected $600,000 performance bonus had Aristocrat's 2003 profit target of $109 million been achieved. Instead, the profit came in at $80 million and Aristocrat's share price plummeted from $4.22 to $2.25 at the time of the downgrade.
Yesterday, the matter was back before the Supreme Court to argue who should pay the legal bills of the eight-day hearing.
At this hearing Justice Einstein ordered Mr Randall pay his own costs plus 10 per cent of Aristocrat's cost of defending the claim because he was partly successful in relation to relocation costs and one bonus payment.
Yesterday's order means Aristocrat will have to carry 90 per cent of its costs even though it was substantially successful in challenging Mr Randall's eight-figure claim.
Justice Einstein is expected to publish his reasons setting out the calculation of the costs order within the next few weeks.
Mr Randall has a month to lodge an appeal against the decision in Aristocrat's favour relating to the $13 million claim.
Mr Randall was not present in court yesterday to hear the costs order.
A spokeswoman for Aristocrat said that the company would not comment on the costs order at this stage.

So don't beat yourself up for mistakes you made.
More so with how I dealt with the breakup than the during, I was young and stupid so whatever. This was 5 years ago so it's all water under the bridge now. Next girl I met after her was beyond amazing.

Agreed and hindsight is always 20/20. The first 2ish months were rough but then summer came around and all was forgotten about her.

Tish Cyrus: I Wasn't Comfortable with Miley's Pasties
She continues to support her daughter Miley Cyrus and her new image, but even Tish Cyrus admits there are few things she's uncomfortable with.
During an interview with E! News, Tish declared the "Wrecking Ball" songstress crossed the line when she wore her infamous fishnet top with revealing pasties at the iHeartMusic Festival in Las Vegas last September.
"That's the only one thing I didn't like," Miss Cyrus declared. Her older daughter, Brandi Cyrus then added, "There was some tension [after that performance]."
Also discussing her 21-year-old daughter's kiss with Ryan Seascrest on New Year's Eve, Tish stated, "I wasn't there, or I would've been the Ryan kiss."
"He just settled with Miley 'cause I wasn't there. I truly believe that," she added.

Finally im close to my goal of owning a WRX, i am curious as to what the aftermarket is like for the new style of WRX? Do parts from the previous generation fit for the 07s? Also, does the STI interior fit directly into the WRX?

Plastic under lawn?
Greetings, I am about to prep my front yard for sod but I need some advice. The area is completely gravel (pit run) with absolutely no soil in it. I have enough top soil for about 8 inches but a friend suggested to haul in clay for a base to hold the moisture. He thinks that the gravel underneath is a lawn watering nightmare.
Clay is a little hard to come by around here and I was wondering if a layer of plastic underneath the soil would be a good idea or not.
I'd say 'NOT' to the plastic. Your friend had a good suggestion. Go with the clay, then the top soil. Good luck!
Ayuh,... Either Clay or even dirt will act as a sponge to help hold water for the lawn,...
Plastic will Not do that or help in Any Way...
Lawn went in about three months ago. Thanks for the speedy replies. We ended up going with the clay. The wifey never did like my plastic theory......every DIYer needs a good wife to keep him under control with any sort of wild idea.
What is annoying is that they are usually right:laughing:

does anyone notice that quite often when someone leaves a comment on your file page, they will also send the same message to your email. When I go through my file comments and answers those then go to my email and answer those questions I find myself answering the same questions twice. Usually I forget who the users are and don't know if I've answered their same question before in the file comments. Why do we have two channels for support questions? Can't we opt out of the email facility? Because others don't benefit from the privately answered support questions.
Also FAQ tab on file page is still needed – keep having to say "yes I've answered that question before in a previous comment"... most users only seem to read the comments on the current page.
Just a thought
just remove your email address from your profile.

The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations echoed President Obama's call for Moammar Gadhafi to step down and scoffed at the Libyan leader's denials that he is attacking his own people.
Gadhafi told foreign journalists that he has no intention of leaving Libya and that "all my people love me."
At the White House, U.N. ambassador Susan Rice said, "It just sounds, frankly, delusional."
Rice called Gadhafi "disconnected from reality."
Rice spoke after Obama discussed Libya with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon; neither of those leaders spoke with reporters.
The meeting took place as the U.S. Treasury Department announced it has blocked $30 billion in Libyan assets in the wake of the sanctions imposed over the weekend by Obama. The Treasury Department declared it a record.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said the president -- who has spoken before reporters on the Libya civil war once, on Wednesday -- will again speak out on violence against the Libyan people.
"I can assure you he (Obama) has been incredibly active in dealing with this," Carney said.
Carney said he agreed with Rice's assessment of Gadhafi -- "delusional is a very good word" -- and that Gadhafi needs to understand there are consequences for his actions.
"We and the international community are making it very clear what he needs to do and what our position is," Carney said.

BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Campbell's swim team opens the 2011-12 season this weekend on the road with a triple dual meet against Radford, Marshall, James Madison on Saturday, Oct. 1, starting at 2 p.m. at the Dedmon Center Natatorium.
Radford is a fellow Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association rival of Campbell that finished ninth at the CCSA Championships last season. The top swimming returners for the Highlanders are Jessica Frazelle, who had 12 top-three finishes last year, and junior Emily Turner, who led the squad with 13 top-three finishes. Marshall set 37 program records at the 2011 C-USA Championships. Sophomore Heather Moore is the top returner for the Thundering Herd and had 15 top-three finishes last season. James Madison went 10-5 last season in dual meets and finished second at the CAA Championships. Eva Hannesdottir won the 100-free at CAA Championships and is the team's top returner swimmer.
Campbell's team this season is an interesting mix of young experienced swimmers and eight newcomers. CU is expected to be led by the sophomore trio of Cheriesse Campbell, Kylie Warne and Kaitlyn Burnette. Campbell had an outstanding rookie campaign with 28 top-three finishes. The Sunrise, Fla. native capped off her season by becoming the second Campbell swimmer to ever earn CCSA All-Conference honors when she placed third in the 1,650-free. Cheriesse Campbell is also CU's current record holder in four events (200-free, 500-free, 1,000-free and 1,650-free). Warne also had a strong opening year in placing in the top-three 22 times including 13 individual victories. Burnette is the Camels' current record holder in four events (100-butterfly, 50-back, 100-back and 200-back). Campbell will also be counting on the leadership of returning upperclassmen Melissa Eller, Cameron Gorse, Michelle Key, Libby Sanderson and Kaitlyn Tunstall. The head coach of the Camels beginning his and the program's eighth season is Pascal Molinard.
Next the swim team travels to Hickory, N.C. to take on Lenoir-Rhyne on Wednesday, Oct. 5, at 6 p.m. CU's first home meet this season is on Saturday, Oct. 15 when the Camels host College of Charleston and Queens University of Charlotte at 2 p.m.

USC Women's Basketball Drops Game to Ducks
Feb. 8, 1998
LOS ANGELES - Whistled for a season-high 27 fouls, a dispirited USC (9-11 4-7) lost to Oregon 76-58 at the Lyon Center.
Trojan center Adrain Williams scored 19 points and Tiffany Williams added 12 points and 11 rebounds in the loss.
The foul calls proved particularly frustrating to the Women of Troy because the Ducks enjoy a whopping 22 to 5 disparity in free throw shots during the first half.
Oregon (12-7 8-3) shot a total of 35 free throws in the game, which equals the most a team has shot against USC all season.
And yet SC fought back early in the final period to trail by only four points, 47-43, with 12:00 remaining.
In the last minute of the game, Williams collided head-on with Oregon's Lindsey Dion while scrambling for a loose ball. Both suffered cuts on the forehead and needed medical assistance to stop the bleeding.
Guard Natalie Hughes scored a game-high 22 points for the Lady Ducks.
Thursday SC kicks off a weekend trip to the Bay Area with a game at Cal.Quotes:

I have serveral other .22's - S&W 63, Browning, S&w 41, Hihg Standards, Iver Johnson, etc. But when I was looking for the "1ST" handgun for my 3 yr old Grand Daughter, I started thinking about total size, wt, grip size, ease of use. After some looking and trying, I choose a Walther P22. Size, price, wt, etc - it fit the bill as a 1st handgun plus it is a blast to shoot. I may keep this one and get her another as soon as her mother allows me to actually give her a gun. Give it a look! New under $300 out the door.

my god, there was actually a lot of poetry in my (new) house this week! (no, i'm not talking about my shelves again, and, no, nothing got written, but why is everything always about stupid that?!) i mean, poems (not mine!) were read aloud!
poems read aloud:
"fern hill" ( i bet with my visiting lover (yes, it is a kind of appointment) (no application process– top secret nomination only) over the last line–i won twenty dollars AND got immediately laid). (such is the power of me plus dylan thomas.)
"home after three months away" (the lowell/bishop correspondence is being read– randomly, instead of i-pod shuffle, instead of i-ching)
"a birthday present"
"lyonnesse" and "amnesiac": for the longest time i thought they were one poem having really learned them off that tape (were they one poem once? on the day they were both written?) ("like sparks off their brother-sister rears!")
referred to and almost read : "a jar in tennessee" (couldn't find my collected stevens) (did you see that moma jar of sun?– i think i might want/need that for my yard.)
transmitted by cell phone: adelia prado's "mobiles" (from my garage) "what a beautiful poem if i can write it…."! i love the guy who is not sleeping. that is my x-boyfriend.
listened to over the phone: elizabeth bishop's "Something I've Meant To Write About For 30 Years" (why not decorate morning?)
(brought to mind by a mirror broken in the move and used for several projects, including an art guild house in the medieval castle reproduction due today.)
poems memorized in my house this week:
the applicant. (by my daughter, and, i might add, of her own free will and perfectly.) plath frenzy sparked by this poem being put on a mix cd by lover (and, okay, truth be told, poet) referred to above. (also worth memorizing off the mix: the ting ting's "that's not my name". plath would approve.)
poem read out loud out of the house:
billy collins' "the straightener" from the november issue of real simple to my son at home depot while we waited for my brother to figure out insulation.
poem glued to the back of an envelope headed to brooklyn: matthew zapruder's "frankenstein love".
poem that fell out of a book: jon anderson's "john clare", ironically sent to me once by my once (come on! ii still love you!) friend david rivard, who made me read lots and lots of stuff including vallejo and herbert and lorca and not just that great little color poem in tasker street (hey mark! thanks for the books and i am burning you cds and making smart people read the grossman conversations) and the poem about kissing your best friend's wife in sweet ruin and every poem i went apeshit crazy over in beloved infidel. (dean!)
and, finally, this e-mail from my still friend weston cutter:
I've been now meaning to write forlikeever—to respond to yr very first post on the poetry thing (which I haven't been reading enough of–I'll check it after this), but also to say hi and what's up and everything, and so now tonight, 9pm and listening to NMHotel (forever) and avoiding writing a paper about WStevens (it's actually a paper that's already fully written in my head, I just need to like transcribe the thing)(I dig the fuck out of Stevens. I need to go back to that 'interview' I did with you forever ago and see if you like him too.)(I didn't like him then, when I interviewed you, forever ago.), now will do.
Quick updating stuff: appplying for jobs sucks. Talking about my ideas about poetry sucks. Trying to 'explain' stuff re: teaching philosophy's really, really hard/complex. All this stuff's infinitely more complicated because I'm reading Stevens as of late (and also Bolaño's new one, 2666: Get that fucker. It's like living in the mouth of a monster, reading that thing), and if he doesn't make you distrust language and intent/meaning, I don't know what'll make you doubt (the paper's about his ideas of silence, which is really fun). Also shitty: that in like 2 months both DFWallace and JLeonard died. So, so shitty. I'm really sad—like, seriously, I-feel-bad-and-I-sniffle-thinking-about-them sad. Other than all that: life's rad. Writing another novel, because the last one was too fusty and uptight and prissy (in good ways, I think), but I wanted a dirty greaser, so the new one's all fucking glass-pack mufflers and nastiness. It's big fun. Also: done with a poetry manuscript, and have sent it out, and who the fuck knows. Do I care? Sort of. Yes/no. The thing that's really awesome/hard is that, really, there's no joy in writing aside from the writing (I don't think, anyway, or at least there's not much for me). It's pleasurable to read stuff I've written and feel like I got something I was struggling to get, but really, it's like sex or smelling a flower: if you think there's something to hold on to after, yr so fucked it's time to take a nap. Anyway. That's all the detaily stuff. Oh, and for my birthday, by the way? I went bowling. In a street. With empty cans of PBR. Also: I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be single forever, and I'm really, really down with that. Also: I realize that I should turn back on the google-chat thing in my gmail, because the only person I ever used it with was you (I turned it off because I had two friends who'd always write, everytime I was on there for even like a fucking second, so that's obviously no dice). Anyway.
There's plenty more, but I wanted to just write this little bit and then give you this in response to yr first post. If you want to post it, go ahead, and if not not, and who cares anyway. Also: OBAMA! Okay, response-to-blog-stuff below, and take care and etc. etc. etc. and more soon,
(download Leona Naess's "Ghosts in the Attic," by the way, if you haven't yet: that fucking thing's just lousy with amazingness)(also: the Little Joy disc? Oh man.)(Also: Lykke Li?)
Okay, here's the thing I wanted to wonder/push-back-at about yr first post. You asked if we are bad motherfuckers, and so I guess the question is: should we be? This is all real dicey, because I'm taking a class in formal verse this semester, and so I'm forced to look at the fact that poetry's an explodey/inbent thing and has been since, well, modernism (TSEliot esp), and one of the theories (obv) has to be that in poetry, as we now understand it, you've got to figure what the poem's doing at the same time you've got to figure out what it's saying/meaning/etc-ing. Which I personally think has got to have something to do with the fact that poetry's not exactly saving the ass of publishing companies lately (aside from (according to her, which she's proud to shout about, conceited fuck that she seems to be) f'ing C. Paglia's book, and I don't know why I've always presumed her a decent person: she's written two such horribly disagreeable things lately (one slamming J. Graham (among others) for stupid reasons, which is so sad (in-fighting among people who're lucky if they sell 10000 books in a lifetime seems like the stupidest fighting there is) and one saying how she (CPaglia) still liked the fucking numbskull that is SPalin…ugh) that if I saw her coming toward me I'd at the very very least cross the street).
But so let's assume that there's some truth to that, that when people come to poetry, they're being asked to figure out both the rules and point of the game simultaneously. Think of how irregular that is, re: art. Imagine what'd happen if all fiction was as screwey, rules-wise, as the shit Danielewski or HMatthews or MPavic or the Oulipo group writes. Just think of it. Are there outliers? Of course: we could name dozens. But the thing is, most 'novels,' as most readers understand them, are pretty graspable. Ditto (to use yr own example from that post) music. All of us—in the CD group, plus I'm sure most of yr friends, and for sure all of my friends—like 'indie' or 'strange' or whatever music (and NMH comes up on the ipod again, at a perfect moment), but none of it's radical. None of the stuff that you or I seem to really get off on—Wilco, 2Gallants, whoever (by the way, for like two weeks in October all I listened to was/(were?) old mixes you'd sent)—is hard. Not a bit of it. This NMH song, "King of Carrot Flowers Parts 2&3"? It's like a click and a half from Beach Boys territory (with more noise, certainly, but nothing wild).
But that's what poetry is, so, so much (wild, I mean, not Beach Boys). And of course most of us'd rather people just sit down and work through it, but we've got to at least acknowledge that that's asking a lot. I (for instance) have the time/mental energy/stomach/discipline/whatever to work through JGraham's stuff (which I'm now, after having read all her stuff pretty hard over like a month, in a position to claim is really not all that hard, but is it not all that hard just because I've done all the work? Probably. Would Justin Morneau of the MNTwins tell me that hitting a fastball's really all not that hard? Probably. Why? Because he's hit fucking thousands of them.), or through (for instance) your stuff, or MZapruder's stuff, none of which is 'hard' necessarily, but all of which asks something of the reader re: form.
And that, to me, is where the issue really is: yr question about whether or not we're bad motherfuckers seems already answered. Yes, we are: that's what TSEliot and the NYSchool and plenty of others made sure of. We are, all of us, radically alone and brutally individual Bad Mother Fuckers. That's what this is, what it feels like. And so then we have to look around, and see that being Bad Mother Fuckers has helped poetry become this tinny/tiny/stupid little Duchampian let's-put-this-shit-on-the-wall-and-call-it-poetry game.
Is that what's happened?
Is that what we've done?
Is this what being Bad Motherfuckers has wrought?
I haven't the faintest. I turned 30 less than two weeks ago and I'm nothing like a scholar. I'm not at all saying that poetry should get 'easier' or 'more approachable' or any of that shit: I'm all for the sexy snarl and for the really wildly-spiraling smarts of the best-best-best stuff (which means everybody's got to get back to digging elitism and admitting that there's some shit that's really hard because it's smart, and it's not for everbody, and it demands a level of dedication that somebody who thinks he's filling up on 'art' by watching A. Idol is probably not gonna understand/be willing to put out). I'm all, all for smart. I'm for hard-that's-worth-it. But the idea that we should be even a little excited about the idea of being Bad Motherfuckers now—when poetry by and large seems basically totally divorced from 'real' day-to-day life—the idea that we'd want to be Bad Motherfuckers, that seems bad and dangerous.
Because here's the other(/final) part of this (I know you were talking about a musician when you wrote about this, and I just put it in my head that it was a bassist, and that that bassist was/is Tommy Stinson (of the Replacements, obv)(speaking of: did you get that latest disc? Those newly-remastered/old songs are just fucking sick)): when Tommy Stinson claimed to you to be a Bad Motherfucker? He was talking about a pose. No one, not any of us, really dig people for their poses. We may move toward someone for their pose, but we stay for substance. It's like getting attracted to a girl because she smells nice: that's a reason to approach, but you (I, I guess I'm now talking about) only stay if she's funny and is decent to her friends/family and is engaged with the world and etc. That's badmotherfuckerness, I think: that falseness that draws people in. Westerberg/Stinson are both sort of sillily perfect examples: both were total fuck-ups and wildmen, and sure, people went to Mats shows for the spectacle, for the What-If and etc., but the only reason the Mats could take a stage, anywhere, was because they wrote shit like "Kiss Me on the Bus," and "Color Me Impressed" and etc.
Anyway, that's my take: fuck bad motherfuckers. Let's try mattering first and get back to our poses later.
(none of this, by the by, is a dig at you: I think it's a valid and real and good question. If we all ('we all' being, I guess, people who like to think of their relationship to the world being fundamentally about seeing it and writing shit down in something like 'verse') took more than five minutes a year to think about this shit, I think we'd be doing well. Anyway)…
and, each reach made my week more. better, o.

Research, development and trades concerning the powerful Proxmark3 device.
Remember; sharing is caring. Bring something back to the community.

Pages: 1
So after changing the pm3's USB descriptor to not be a HID device I was able to successfully prevent OSX from grabbing it so that libusb can talk to the pm3 without having to run the detach command. I know doing this creates other issues, so I'm only doing it temporarily until a solution is decided upon.
The proxmark3 client can see the pm3, but it hangs when a command is entered because usb_bulk_read in the reader pthread does not appear to honor the timeout value and hangs indefinitely. If you then do something to get the device to transmit data (like unplug it and plug it back in, or enter standalone mode) it does receive the data.
Can anybody else try to replicate this? Any ideas for a workaround?
After playing with it a bit more, I ended up compiling libusb myself rather than installing the one from darwinports, and it works. So if anyone runs into this problem and is using darwinports, try compiling libusb from scratch.
Next step will be to test qtgui support.
It should be possible to create a "codeless kext" that prevents com.apple.iokit.IOUSBHIDDriver from grabbing the Proxmark3 ... but I tried, and couldn't get it to work. I'll try to modify the USB descriptor like you describe...
Okay, I made some more progress. Something is really wrong with the event handling -- I can't really figure out how this code can work under Linux. This patch made it start running:

Ginastera: new CDs from string quartets to Popul Vuh(March 2010)
Ginastera: new CDs from string quartets to Popul Vuh
The discography of music by Alberto Ginastera has expanded over the past year, with a flood of new recordings and major reissues. Two rival complete sets of the Ginastera string quartets have appeared, with the Cuarteto Latinoamericano on Brilliant Classics (9119) - a welcome return of their Élan recording, and the Enso Quartet on Naxos (8.570780). The three quartets survey Ginastera's artistic journey, from Argentinian nationalism in the first, through a blend of modernism and Bartók-like folk idioms in the second, to serialism in the third which like Schoenberg's String Quartet No.2 employs a soprano soloist - Claudiel Montiel on Brilliant and Lucy Shelton on Naxos:
"...it's the 1973 Third Quartet with soprano that's the most impressive achievement here, a compelling fusion of song cycle and instrumental work that interleaves settings of Spanish-language poets (Jiménez, Lorca and Alberti) within a musical world that alternates between febrile intensity and expansive lyricism." The Guardian
Recordings of Ginastera's two cello concertos have been reissued by Pierian (0034), featuring the composer's second wife Aurora Natola-Ginastera, who championed both works and was the dedicatee of the second. This is a successor to the disc containing Ginastera's complete music for piano and chamber ensemble featuring Barbara Nissman, both reissues from Newport Classics (Pierian 0005/6). The collection ends with Natola-Ginastera and Nissman together in the Cello Sonata, widely regarded as one of the composer's finest achievements.
Naxos has recently reissued the Koch recording of Ginastera's Glosses on Themes of Pablo Casals with the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Gisèle Ben-Dor. Composed by Ginastera as a tribute to his cellist friend on the occasion of his centenary, the work can be heard in both versions: for string quintet and string orchestra op.46 and for full orchestra op.48. The recording is completed by the Israel Chamber Orchestra in the energetic Variaciones concertantes, culminating in a virtuosic malambo, the typical 'jousting' dance of the gaucho.
April brings the release of a new Neos disc with two of Ginastera's most significant, if rarely performed, works (Neos 10918). The Cantata para America magica (1960) returns to the catalogue, with soprano Rayanne Dupuis surrounded by thirteen percussionists on more than 50 instruments, plus celesta and piano duo. The texts are Ginastera's own selection of apocryphal pre-Columbian sources, recast in modern terms by his first wife Mercedes de Toro. The mythical element is also central to Popul Vuh, his last orchestral work exploring the Mayan creation myth. Commissioned by the Philadelphia Orchestra it was unfinished at his death in 1983, only missing a movement for percussion alone, and remained unperformed. However the manuscript revealed that the seven movement torso offered a self-contained whole, and the work was premiered by the St Louis Symphony under Leonard Slatkin in 1989 and recorded for RCA the following year. The new recording, supported by the Fundacion BBVA, features the WDR Cologne Symphony Orchestra conducted by Stefan Asbury.

It's All Under Control
Mission Oggy is the 3rd episode of Season 1.
Coming back from the market, Oggy finds his house completely ransacked by the cockroaches: it's a total dump! It's just too much! He decides to protect his fridge against the "roachy" attacks and clamps on a solid lock with Dee Dee trapped inside!
|SPOILER ALERT! Important details about the plot are up ahead.
The episode begins with scenes of total mess which was made in Oggy's house, before moving to the TV room, which is the place where the cockroaches hang out. While the cockroaches are watching TV,Dee Dee accidentally slips and traps himself in a bottle while he drinks juice and makes funny noises in it. While he landed on the ground floor, Oggy comes home, notices his house is a mess, and has seen Dee Dee in the bottle and he knows that Dee Dee did the mess. So Oggy chases Dee Dee, accidentally going in the washing machine and into the pipes and toilet, the comfort room is flooded, and so is the kitchen. Oggy chases Dee Dee in the kitchen but hits the refrigerator, making the bottle at the top fall down into Oggy's head, trapping him. Then Oggy traps Dee Dee (in the bottle) in the refrigerator. Then Joey and Marky tried to save Dee Dee, but they are too late,since Oggy walks into the kitchen with a security box and shoo off Joey and Marky. In the next scene, the refrigerator is guarded by lasers. Oggy tests it out with a toy duck while Marky and Joey watch while hidden at the counters. Here is what happened in the test:
The toy duck walks straight through the laser markers, turns around, and gets broken by Oggy's defenses.
Oggy cleans up the mess of the broken toy duck and Marky and Joey could only gulp their own saliva in fear. In the next scene, Oggy is sleeping in the TV room without knowing Joey and Marky are saving Dee Dee from an air vent right at the top of the refrigerator. Right at the time they've reached they're destination, Marky uses his X-ray and night vision to locate Dee Dee, who was freezing in extreme coldness. They set up a wheel and axle at the vent, so one roach should hold the axle and control the other one who goes down to the fridge.
Joey urged Marky to go down but Marky refuses. He then takes out toothpicks, challenging Joey for Small-Stick game. Joey took a stick shorter than Marky's(The Trick was that Marky had 2 sticks smaller than Joey's but Marky held them together forming it bigger). Joey smiles at the camera admitting that he was a loser. Joey went down using the rope while Marky controlled the Axle, reading a book instead of attending his mission. Joey reaches the point he had to, the fridge lock, but Marky kept going and going, Joey begged for help, he bitterly touched the laser and Joey screamed even louder Marky finally watches and whins in terror. He smiles at Joey apologizing and doing his job correctly "now". Then Joey said he won't leave Marky, but put on his pride. He used a USB plug cable to connect to the Fridge lock system "Otok". Marky was getting little stressed and a drop of sweat dripped of his nose to make life-taking attacks go on. Joey noticed this calling it Liquid Leakage. He screamed and let out his tongue to reach for it. He didn't miss, and so he was pleased that the drop didn't touch the laser. He was disgusted too, and admitted that a Marky causes drops of death. Joey left that thing and hacked the Otok system using his laptop, and reached out a vending machine in it, and got a Banana Bingo. The Fridge opened, but Marky couldn't take it anymore, he fell down with everything they had, Joey noticed and got surprised, thinking: "Why did this guy come HERE !?" And the duo roaches fell on the lasers badly.
The hit triggers an alarm, and Oggy was awakened by the alarm and goes inside the kitchen, finding Joey & Marky.The defenses are launched into Oggy, but Oggy protects until a hammer knocked down his teeth. The teeth goes to Joey who is laughing, then Marky giggles when seeing Joey. Oggy laughs, until he finds out that the defenses are directed to him and attacked him. Marky opens the fridge, only to find out Dee Dee ate all of the food. Marky carries Dee Dee while Joey throws back Oggy's teeth and knocks Oggy out until he faints.
Someday later, the cockroaches tries to get to the fridge again while Oggy sleeps again on a pillow. However, something else was waiting inside the fridge - instead of the food, it was a new defense system awaits them! The cockroaches freaked out seeing the defense missiles and bombs aiming to them. Oggy, who was actually pretending to be asleep, wakes up and reveals all of his food under his pillow, gets a box of chocolate, and eats one in joy with the episode ends. Get your fun under Control and Go to the next series to know more: It's All under Control.

Happy Ending/Winning Character(s)
- Oggy - Finally, his defense system attacks the cockroaches and his food remains safe with him.
- The Cockroaches - Got freaked out because they got missiles aiming to them instead.
- If you look more closely at a scene where the cockroaches are watching TV, Jack was in a wheelchair and doing the same action that is in the end of "It's All Under Control"
- That's because in the French version, It's All Under Control aired first before Mission Oggy.
- Similarly in Oggy and the Giant Roaches, when Oggy was watching T.V, the scene was of "A Tip for the Road".
- First time Jack appeared in TV/Cameo.
- Joey got Dee Dee's pet name "Fatty"
- The box of chocolates was the one from "Bitter Chocolate".
- This is one of the episodes where in the Philippines, some of the scenes are cut. For more details, go to Censorship.
- First time Oggy has a happy ending.
- Name and some plot are parodic and homage to Mission Impossible.

Mortuarium (original 2010; edition 2010)
by Patricia Cornwell, Carla Benink (Translator), Olaf Brenninkmeijer (Translator), Gerda Wolfswinkel (Translator)
Work details
Port Mortuary (A Scarpetta Novel) by Patricia Cornwell (2010)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The most disjointed book by Cornwall that has ever come out. It is a fascinating story, but too much. It is hard to feel for the characters because they all veer on the side of being too flawed at this point, almost like a mid-life crisis. The demons of the past have cropped up in so many stories, now the past IS one of the characters. Fielding's past was de rigueur, as was the recent Briggs connection. Unfortunately, the whole locked box/apatheid story could have been a completely different narrative; too many elements all crammed into one made it a convoluted and tangled mess.
I am not used to being disappointed by this particular author and everyone knows I am going to snap the next novel up, but I can not help but point out that I was at times frustrated by the pace and the enormity of detail that all takes place in a two-day period. I do believe the assumption that Scarapetta could go from a pcp-induced rant to being able to sift through data and remains without sleep or food is expecting too much. I want to be clear, each story line and detail was good, just not this particular amalgam in a miniscule time frame. It would be nice to stay within the realm of possibility. Expecting us to believe that Marino, Lucy and Benton and other staff would knowingly allow so much to go awry in Scarpetta's absence is not bearable either. It may also be time for Scarpetta to be able to work a crime scene or case without being in physical danger or under threat herself.
I have a whole new level of respect for how much thought and background that goes into these books on a scientific level. I enjoyed the book, thought the plot twist happening inside Scarpetta's circle was interesting as opposed to having an enemy "outside the circle." I also closed the book thinking that like in a TV show, this book was also a cliffhanger, a set up for the next book. Scarpetta's world has completely evolved into something that is wasn't before.
I usually enjoy when Patricia Cornwell writes about Kay Scarpetta, but this one was really disjointed. I found myself constantly wondering if I had missed a page. The premise was interesting - it starts with a body that bleeds the day after it arrives at the morgue.
My least favorite Scarpetta book thus far. I didn't like how Scarpetta wasn't involved in the main crime solving in the same way as she has been in the other books. I felt like there were too many plot lines to follow. Did we know Jack Fielding's history prior to this book? I honestly can't remember that far back. Also, I don't remember any previous book mentioning that Scarpetta had served in the Army. Maybe it's just me, but I felt like too much new information about recurring characters was thrown at me in this book.
Truly awful.
Felt as though Cornwall was being paid by the word and was maximizing payment.
Couldn't listen to the audiobook. Found myself mentally yelling at her to get to the (expletive) point.

No descriptions found.
When Scarpetta examines a young man's body, she discovers stunning indications that he may have been alive when he was zipped inside a pouch and locked inside the cooler of her new Cambridge Forensic Center in Massachusetts. Various 3-D radiology scans reveal more shocking details about internal injuries unlike any Scarpetta has ever seen. These suggest the possibility of a conspiracy to cause mass casualties, and she races against time to discover who and why before more people die.… (more)

This week I had the opportunity to attend a discussion with Beverly Schwartz, the author of the new book 'Rippling: How Social Entrepreneurs Spread Innovation Throughout the World'. In her book, and during the discussion, Schwartz encourages everyday individuals to become social entrepreneurs, or at the very least work alongside social entrepreneurs, to make real, sustainable, systemic changes in society.
During the discussion numerous examples of social entrepreneurs were discussed, all of whom are or were fellows of Ashoka, the social change organization that Schwartz works for. I found the stories of these innovators inspiring on multiple levels and feel strongly that innovations and work like this should be elevated to inspire other thinkers, dreamers and doers in our society to take action.
Below are a few videos about the work and impact of some inspirational social entrepreneurs:
- Albina Ruiz created a profitable recycling industry that lifts people out of poverty.
- Isaac Durojaiye started the first revenue-generating mobile toilet initiative in Nigeria to improve sanitation and create jobs for at-risk workers.
- Pradip Sharmah designed a light, ergonomic rickshaw with a financing service and new business model to enable rickshaw drivers to build a better quality of life.
If you are aware of other innovators making real change around the globe, please share in the comments below! In a world full of tough headlines and conflict, let's raise social innovation and entrepreneurship up as legitimate responses to some difficult challenges.

Drag System of Redington Pursuit Reel
I see that Redington advertises their Pursuit reel as a disc drag system. However, people have told me that it is actually a click/pawl system. Does anyone own this reel or know what the drag system really is?

Re: Drag System of Redington Pursuit Reel
While not an amazingly strong drag, it's definitely not a click/pawl. The Redington website is correct.
