What is ModMii?
ModMii, formerly known as NUS Auto-Downloader, is able to download all the files needed to modify ANY Wii (4.3U/E/J/K and Below); it can generate custom guides based on your Wii's specifications, and save the files to your SD Card in their appropriate locations for easy offline softmodding.
Literally run the program once, let it download,
and you have all the files you need on your SD card to modify your Wii
What can ModMii do?
- It can download all the files necessary to Modify, Upgrade & Downgrade your Wii System Menu
- Download individual IOS/cIOS files, cIOS & cMIOS installers, Official Wii Channels, System Menus, Multi Mod Manager, YAWMM, Dop-Mii, both versions of Bannerbomb, Hackmii Installer etc.
- Install patched IOSs without an wifi connection on your Wii
- This includes an easy to follow Custom guide to setting up a USB-Loader (including how to format/partition your external hard drive)
- Install SNEEK, build SNEEK NAND dumps, and Batch Extract Wii Games for use with SNEEK+DI or UNEEK+DI
- Customize Bootmii, Wad Manager and MMM start-up settings using ModMii
Configurators to create a custom config files
- This is also capable of downloading 000000**.app files for Sneek and MyMenuify
- Provides solutions for the upside-down homebrew channel and the HackMii installer No Vulnerable IOS problems
- Advanced Custom Downloads Feature will allow you to easily patch and change the slot/version of IOSs/cIOSs (only use this feature if you know what you are doing!!)
How to Use ModMii
- Download and use the ModMii Installer
- Run the "ModMii.exe" (make sure your firewall or proxy is not blocking the program from accessing the internet)
- Choose an activity from the list on the Main Menu to begin (see screenshot below for options). Note, a custom guide will only be generated when "ModMii Wizard (W)", "HackMii Solutions (H)" or "USB-Loader Setup (U)" are selected.
How to mod your Wii
- Run ModMii, from the Main Menu enter "W" to start the ModMii Wizard
- When asked if your Wii is a virgin, you can answer yes "Y" even if your Wii is not a virgin in order to re-hack your Wii and update all your Wii's softmods. You should only answer no "N" if you know specifically what softmods need updating or if you only want to change your system menu version.
- Answer the questions ModMii asks about your Wii, it's very simple, so I won't even go into the details, but here's a video tutorial made by Pepxl based on v4.0.1. Later versions work much in the same way, so its still a great tutorial even if you are using a newer version.
- Wait until the program is done working, verify that all the files downloaded successfully, then (if you didn't change the drive letter to your SD card) locate the newly created folder called "COPY_TO_SD". Copy everything inside this folder to the root of your SD card (merge folders if it asks).
- Now just follow the generated guide.
4.8.0 Changelog
- New Feature: Emulated NAND Modifer (See ModMii's SNEEK Menu)
You can now use ModMii to modify your existing Emulated NANDs.
Add your choice of the following to your Emulated NANDs:
Homebrew Filter Channel, cIOS249v14, DML, NMM, Priiloader,
JoyFlow, Themes, Wii Channels and a custom folder of WADs.
The Emulated NAND Modifer is also able to detect and uninstall
Priiloader, DML and NMM. It's also able to restore the original
Wii Theme to Emulated NANDs. If the neek2o option is disabled you
can choose to install switch2uneek to Emulated NANDs. When
switch2uneek is not selected ModMii will install the nswitch
channel if it's missing from the Emulated NAND.
Currently there is not cmd-line mode support for this feature.
SD access option now available for neek2o as well as for the original s\uneek.
nswitch channel installed to all emulated nands except when building
the original s\uneek and users have also opted to install switch2uneek.
ModMii now uses a different installer for Priiloader v0.7 which instead
of IOS236 uses davebaol's solution to the ahbprot connection issue.
WiiMod is now used instead of MMM in ModMii Guides.
MMM is still available via ModMii's Download Page 2.
Removed a step from the softmod process. IOS236 is now installed as
part of the Install WADs Step instead of having its own step.
Updated Wii Backup Manager to v0.4.4 build 73.
Shortcuts to the 64-bit version will be made on 64-bit PCs.

Added WiiMod and nswitch channel to Download Page 2.
In Soviet Russia, ModMii programs you!
other minor changes
- Fixed harmless bug where a System Menu was not downloaded under
- uncommon scenarios.
- Slightly modified Ascii2hex.bat to support rare cases where the
- old version would cause ModMii to close unexpectedly.
- Thanks to geovalley for reporting and solving this problem.
- No more stupid changelog jokes... the keyword being "stupid".

After about 3 years of service, my Apple ear-buds that came with my iPod finally started to go, and I got some cheapo $10 JVC's to replace them. They're nothing fantastic as far as sound quality, but after using them for a few days, I noticed a simple little feature that solves a usability problem with headphones, especially Apple's ear-buds: figuring out which ear-bud goes in the right or left ear.
Apple's standard ear-buds are stylish and minimal in design, and like most of their products, stripped to the bare essentials. A stick with a speaker on the end, and a little bit of rubber to keep it in your ear, that's about it. Faint little "L" and "R" printed on the "stick" portions are the only indications of left and right. Apple brands itself as the champion of user experience, but in this case their aesthetic choices cause them to lose sight of an easy usability improvement.
JVC's design is fairly similar, but for inexpensive headphones (the cheapest I could find at Best Buy), quite clever in a few important ways. In addition to higher contrast "L" and "R" printed on the sides, the right and left buds are shaped differently, and you can sort of feel the "right" and "wrong" way to put them in once you're used to it, but by far the most helpful feature is a tiny raised bump that indicates the left bud.
I often use my headphones at night, or when I'm in bed with the lights out, (or I'm too lazy to look at them) and such a simple design decision makes it vastly easier to use. It removes any fumbling around trying to find the little L's and R's, and allows proper use in the dark or by people with low-vision.
It's always a good feeling when a budget purchase turns out to be a really good product, and hopefully if JVC cares enough to include these subtle features in their design, the internals will hold-up too. Perhaps Apple could learn a thing or two from their low-cost rivals.

An online magazine covering tools, models, and ideas for building a better future.
uction of a massive iron wall along its border with the Gaza Strip, in a bid to shut down smuggling tunnels into the territory. The wall will be nine to 10 kilometers long, and will go 20 to 30 meters into the ground, Egyptian sources said. It will be impossible to cut or melt.
The new plan is the latest move by Egypt to step up its counter-smuggling efforts. Although some progress had been made, the smuggling market in Gaza still flourishes.
Egyptian forces demolish tunnels or fill them with gas almost every week, often with people still inside them, and Palestinian casualties in the tunnels have been steadily rising.
Recently, Egypt examined several possibilities of blocking the tunnels, and joint American-Egyptian patrols have been seen in Rafah attempting to detect tunnels using underground sensors.
Construction of the wall has already begun. It will be made of enormous slates of steel, reaching deep into the ground. However, it is not expected to stem smuggling completely.
Several defense sources told Haaretz they believe that once captive soldier Gilad Shalit is released, Israel will have to re-examine the benefits of closing Gaza off. The closure has been undermined by the tunnel system, which provides not only munitions but food, cars, motorcycles, drugs, medicine and fuel, much more than what Israel allows into the Strip through the official border crossing.
The tunnels also allow people to cross in and out of the Strip, including terrorists who linked up with pro-Al-Qaida groups in Gaza and tried to carry out attacks in Egypt, defense sources said.
The smuggling industry is so institutionalized that tunnel operators purchase licenses from the Rafah municipality, allowing them to connect to electricity and water. Hamas has also been ensuring no children are employed in the tunnels, and is taxing all smuggled goods.
The Egyptians often intercept munitions before they can enter the Strip and have stepped up checks at internal roadblocks and checkpoints in the Sinai. Observers say mounting American pressure is in part responsible for increasing Egyptian efforts to combat the smugglers.

Egypt is reached by air, water as well as road and rail. Those travelling by air can come in through Cairo International Airport, Alexandria, Nozah, Luxor and Aswan in Upper Egypt, Hurghaba in the Red Sea area, and Sharm El-Sheikh in South Sinai.
There are several airliners that offer Egypt flights including British Airways, Alitalia, Turkish Airlines, Ethiopian Airlines, Royal Dutch Airlines, and Thai Airways International.
In addition to airports there are a number of marine harbors for those that prefer to travel by sea. For those travelling on the Mediterranean Sea, the ports of Alexandria, Port Said, and Damietta are all possible entry points. There is also a port right at the Gulf of Suez and another, the port of Nuweiba on the Gulf of Aqaba. The Red Sea offers three options for travellers; the ports of Hurghaba, Safaga, and Sharm El-Sheikh.
For those who prefer road trips, there are three overland entry posts. The Salloum entry post is located on the northwestern border (for those coming in from Lybia). The famous Rafah crossing is on the northeastern border for those coming in from the Gaza strip, the Occupied Territories, and Israel. On the eastern border there is a post at Taba for those coming in from Israel.
Getting the right paper work and visa is essential to a stress free entry into Egypt. Non-Egyptian visitors arriving in Egypt are required to be in possession of a valid passport. Visas can be obtained from either the Egyptian Diplomatic and consular Missions Abroad, the Entry Visa Department, or from Immigration and Nationality Administration (TDINA). However it is possible for visitors to obtain an entry visa at any major points of entry.
Visitors entering Egypt at the overland border post to Taba to visit Gulf of Aqaba coast and St. Catherine can be exempted from visa and granted a free residence permit for fourteen days to visit the area. Citizens of the following countries are required to be in possession of a pre-arrival visa: Afghanistan, Algeria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Chechnya, Croatia, Georgia, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Iran, Israel, Kazakhstan, Kirghizia, Lebanon, Macau, Macedonia, Malaysia, Moldavia, Montenegro, Morocco, Pakistan, Palestine, The Philippines, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia, Sri-Lanka, Tadzhikistan, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan and all African countries.
Those in possession of a residence permit in Egypt are not required to obtain an entry visa if they leave the country and return to it within the validity of their residence permit or within six months, whichever period is less.
There are three kinds of visas to Egypt. Tourist visas are usually valid for a period not exceeding three months and granted on either single or multiple entry basis. Entry visa are required of any visitors arriving in Egypt for purposes such as work, and study that are not related to tourism. This visa is necessary for the completion of the residence procedure in Egypt. Transit visas are made available to travellers transiting through Egypt. Once in Egypt, visitors have different options to get around the country in an easy and comfortable way. The options range from car rental, luxury trains, and coaches to domestic flights to connect tourist cities.
If you are coming in through Cairo International, you have the option of renting a limousine with fixed fees according to your accommodation location from the airport, or use Cairo airport transportation service which covers all the country and airports. You can request for this service through your travel agent or from the information desk at the airport.
The easiest and most common way of moving within any city is by taxis. This are easily available in the major cities, Cairo, for instance, has a fleet of air-conditioned and metered yellow cabs. One is whoever advised to book their taxis at least an hour before their intended time for their trip. In some cases it is recommended that you ask for a receipt as proof of payment to avoid any inconvenience later.
Alternatively one could catch a regular taxi on the street or even in front of their hotel. They are usually coloured depending on the city they operate in. in Alexandria they are yellow and black, in Cairo they are black and white. It is very important to know the colour codes in different cities so that you minimize risks.
Egypt's major cities have a healthy bus system within and between the cities. Examples of which are Super Jet, Delta and Upper Egypt buses. They go from city to city and they provide catering facilities, toilets and on board entertainment. The con in travelling with buses is that they stop far too often thus taking too long especially on long distance trips. Rail travel is highly recommended for long distance travel.
The underground, which is comprised of two long lines, is the cheapest and fastest way to move inside Cairo and Giza governorate especially in the rush hours (from 2 pm to 5pm). The first, from Helwan to El Marg has 33 stops; the second, from Giza to Shoubra El Khema has 18 stops. Note that the first carriage on each train is always strictly for women. Summer working hours are from 6:00 am to 1:00 am and winter working hours are from 6:00 am to 12:00 pm.
Many transportation companies offer a wide choice of luxury cars and coaches with well trained drivers. Car rental agencies are represented in the major cities as well as the international and domestic airports. The train is one of the best ways to travel between major Egyptian cities.
Three kinds of trains are available: the ordinary, the express, and the turbo. The express and the turbo are the more expensive options, but they come with the advantage of a pampered journey taking you to your destination rapidly with all catering facilities and air-conditioning. An excellent turbo train service is available between Cairo and main cities around the country. The train takes about two hours to go from Cairo to Alexandria.
For those who prefer to travel by air locally, Egypt Air – the national carrier – links most of the tourist cities in Egypt with its reliable domestic flights. It is possible to fly directly from Luxor to Sharm El Sheikh or Alexandria.

The rise and fall of the pyramid era
The pyramids epitomize ancient Egypt, yet the biggest were constructed during a short span of time early in a civilization that was to last almost three millennia. The first large Egyptian pyramid was the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, built during the third dynasty of the Old Kingdom to protect the body of the king Djoser who died around 2649 BCE. It was this feat that heralded the short but remarkable age of the gigantic stone pyramids of ancient Egypt.
The greatest achievements of the pyramid builders were the Pyramids of Giza, built near the capital city of Memphis for the fourth dynasty kings Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure who ruled through 2589-2504 BCE. But pyramid building soon waned as the power and prosperity of the kings of Egypt weakened with the end of the Old Kingdom.

Pads measure 21 x 21 inches
- Four years in use. Review by Pepper
Your Rating Product Hartz Home Protection Training Pads 400ct (4x100ct box) We have used these pads now for four years since our dog was a puppy. We leave her in the house all day and she uses them both ways. There is no odor at all and very absorbent. Great product!! As crazy as it is, our dog will not use any other brand. (Posted on 3/29/13)
- Hartz Pet Traning Pads Review by Radiodavid
Your Rating Product Hartz Home Protection Training Pads 400ct (4x100ct box) We have three indoor dogs, and pads are a must. But absorbent, odor controlled ones are even more critical. These pads have been in use for several days, and seem to attract the dogs better due to the aroma (so there are fewer "off pad" mistakes( and the antibacterial does control odors quite a bit. They don't leak, and they hold a lot of liquid. These will be our ongoing choice now. (Posted on 2/21/13)

Pocket Pod and Laptop Audio
Like (0)
Does anyone know how using the pocket pod that I can listen to sound files or youtube on my laptop, and hear my guitar through the pocket pod at the same time? I want to play along to youtube vidoes etc. I could do this through the pod HD500 but it also could act as a sound card and pass audio through the usb cable. Is there any way to accomplish this with the pocket pod?
Thanks for any advice.
Run the PP Direct Out to the the laptop Line In, sound will output from laptop speakers or headphones connect to laptop.
Run the Line Out of your laptop to the CD/MP3 in on PP, sound will output from the PP.
my laptop has 1 port for headphones and 1 for mic ... so do you think I could go out from the headphoned port and into the PP and hear the laptop sound through the PP while also hearing the guitar sound? Of course I would be using headphones on the PP.
Any analog audio source you plug into the CD/MP3 input you will hear through the PP.
Stay in the mix and in the know.

Post subject: KCA Newsletter Excerpt on the Mt Pleasant Library
By request:
Kalorama Citizens Association MEMBERSHIP MEETING
Denis James
, President, called the meeting to order at 7:28 pm. The minutes of the January meeting were approved.
Presentation on Mount Pleasant Library by DC Public Library Officials
Archie Williams,
of the Intergovernmental Affairs Office of DC Public Libraries, and
Chris Wright
, Capital Projects Manager for DCPL, gave a presentation on the proposed changes to the Mount Pleasant Library. Mr.
Williams has been involved in the community engagement process and in selecting the design team for the expansion. Since Mt. Pleasant Library is a Carnegie Library, the work must be meticulous. He said there were at least 15 meetings held with the community. They have been examining what unique things the library does in order to convey this to the architects. The library, after the proposed changes, will have 22,000 square feet, with a 100-seat meeting room, and study room space. There will be an addition in the rear. There were and are still many technical issues to deal with.
Chris Wright
is dealing with technical design issues. The current scheme is the latest of several. Much has been demanded from the architect since the goals of the library are very different now than in 1925 when it first opened. One goal is to have more space, including a 100 person meeting room, so an addition has been proposed in the rear yard. The location of the addition and entry plans has been changed a few times. The desire is to have a common entrance accessible to all. The current front entrance is a grand staircase with a ramp at the right leading down to a basement door for disabled users. The plan now has a very long ramp, starting on the side rear and leading to an entry in the back. A ramp attached to the existing main front entry was rejected because there were too many challenges. Putting the ramp on the side has solved some problems and created others. For example, there is an impact on other buildings. With the ramp on the right side of the building, the purported upside is that it takes advantage of the outside rear staircase on the building, which is beautiful and historic.
In response to a question about how it has been received by people in the immediate area, Chris said that even after many changes, there is still some opposition. The changes were made in response to the very great opposition which existed originally.
Fay Armstrong,
president of Historic Mount Pleasant (HMP), said that the whole design had been planned by the time she knew about it. She is disappointed in the process and the design. HMP feels that DCPL has imposed its program on the library. HMP was successful in getting the ice cube (the first plan) changed from Lamont Street to behind the building, but she is disappointed in Fine Arts Commission and the DC Historic Preservation Review Board (although the HBRB got the location of the addition changed). The local neighborhood had wanted only to renovate the building. If there was a need for more space, they would have preferred to push it out at the basement level in back. The very long ramp is an issue, as is the proximity of the addition to other buildings. It takes light from them. Also, fire safety is an issue.
There was a question about why there seemed to be a need for meeting space. Fay said it was presented to them as a requirement for all libraries today. She suggested that the program the city was demanding was wrong for the library. Ann Hargrove noted that libraries all over have
many functions now, but this building is not suitable for these functions. Fay noted that HPRB was not interested in the uses, only in design. In response to a question, Fay said one thing she would seek is to get rid of the 100-person meeting room. Chris noted that it was not the 100-person meeting room that was driving the design. Archie noted that the design has been through many versions. Certain criteria are contained in the RFP. There is not a requirement that all libraries be the same, but there is a requirement that all libraries provide equity in services. Thats how we got to the meeting room, the study space, etc. that make up the program. He said the point was that we went through the correct process. He claimed that the design we have now is one that many people approve of.
Denis noted that an appropriate needs assessment does not seem to have been done, since there is unused space in the building that could have been used. Chris agreed that there is unused space, and that it will be used better in the new design. The unused space was not enough to meet the requirements, however.
Denis asked if the DCPL was imposing a program on the community. Chris said this was not truethe childrens section is not big enough to accommodate all the needs, e.g., for requested meeting space, and for study areas. There is an opportunity now to provide for those needs. Bob Ellsworth noted that there is a new school down the street from the library, and that their auditorium could be used for a meeting room. Archie said DCPL approached DCPS about that without success. Fay said that the neighborhood has made the point that not all space demands should be made on one site.
A member of the disability community said she wants the front steps preserved, even though they would not necessarily be used by everyone. This would be in addition to the common, dignified entrance (the new ramp) that could be used by all. She suggested that Archie has misrepresented what the disability community wants. There was some discussion about who originally suggested that the front steps be removed, an idea that was subsequently rejected.
Denis asked Chris to talk about the very long ramp. Chris said that a concern about the proposed ramped entrance into the lower level (subsequently rejected) was that it did not provide an equal caliber of experience to everyone. Also, it was a security challenge. There was no overall control point, which is a goal in all libraries. Two entrances on two levels are too hard to keep track of, even with a camera. Chris said that it would not be the longest ramp in the city, and many changes have been made to the plan. They insisted that, for various reasons, it has to be this long.
Mary Belcher
asked about the sudden availability of money in a cash-strapped city. Why spend all this money on an imposed project when you could just put a guard at the downstairs door. Archie talked about capital funds and operating funds. It was suggested that since equity
project if the neighborhood does not feel that it is getting an equitable service.
Ann Hargrove
said that the urban renewal plan calls for a library in Adams Morgan, in the Marie Reed area, and that idea should be resurrected. She said just the building should be renovated, and suggested that the nearby St. Stephens Church had found a creative ramp solution. Also, there should be an alley between all the buildings, in order to get fire trucks in.
ANC- 1C-02 Commissioner Chris Otten
said that the Adams Morgan and Mt. Pleasant ANCs are contracting with a design company to review the plan. He noted that if there is a ramp and a main entrance, they might have to close the main entrance so that everyone would be able to use the same entrance (read new ramp).
Chris Otten
said many want to keep the current ramp, which works well with the elevator just inside the basement door. He noted that the public did not get to see the first several iterations of this plan.
(At this point Secretary Linda Ingram left the meeting. Treasurer Bill OField kindly agreed to take the remainder of the minutes.)
Denis stated that only 150 Ward One residents participated in the Aviles Survey which was essentially community outreach on what folks wanted for the library. In response, Archie said there were four structured Ward One meetings that expanded to 15 meetings, plus information was on the DCPL Web site. Denis presented a resolution asking DCPL to ren0engage with the community to come up with a plan that better suits the building and community needs. After discussion and amendments the resolution was approved.

I'm confused. Is this relevant? These are the minutes from a January KCA meeting? Isn't the library closing in a matter of days to break ground on the renovations? I can see why the Kalorama folks would want to hijack the library closer to them but I hope this is no longer up for debate. The Library renovation is the first good news Mount Pleasant has had in years.

It was a February meeting and our library is a public library utilized by many of our neighbors in Adams Morgan. I don't see anywhere in this article that implies any hijacking.

Renovation is one thing -- nobody objects to that -- but the expansion is something else. Many of us would have preferred that the funds for expansion instead be used for a satellite library serving other portions of Ward One.
I don't think this is a done deal.

Post subject: The library
Speaking of the expansion -- which is the critical issue, vs. the renovation -- here's a column from the most recent Northwest Current, by Robin Diener, director of the DC Library Renaissance Project:
Leave the library, and the discussion, open
On Saturday, the D.C. Public Library will close the Mount Pleasant Neighborhood Library for a long-anticipated renovation, as well as ... an expansion that nobody asked for.
The library systems rationale for the addition is to provide a large meeting room even though a needs analysis of available Ward 1 meeting space was never done. Indeed, the need for another library in the sole ward with only one library was ignored.
The basement level of the library, site of countless meetings over the years, goes unused most of the day. Nonetheless, the D.C. Public Library plans to reconfigure it for flexibility and an increase in usable space. Neighbors think a modernized meeting room on that level would be adequate.
To make the expansion accessible, D.C. Public Library has designed a huge ramp off one side leading to the back. The proposed ramp 120 feet long and 7 feet high is far too long and tall to be comfortable for handicapped and senior library users, whose experience it is supposedly intended to enhance.
Most importantly, the design forecloses the possibility of using a sliver of public library land to create an alley that would improve fire and emergency access to the rear of buildings on Mount Pleasant and 16th streets. Residents there remember well the catastrophic Deauville fire two years ago, and they want the D.C. Public Library to wait until joint public discussions with the Office of Planning, the D.C. Department of Transportation and the Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department can take place.
Unfortunately, the library system has refused.
In the face of this stonewalling, the Mount Pleasant and Adams Morgan advisory neighborhood commissions have commissioned independent studies of the fire and accessibility questions. Coincidentally, those studies are expected before the end of this week.
The Mount Pleasant library sits on a small site, like a hidden jewel. The proposed expansion would overwhelm it, and requires demolishing a charming sunroom.
Mount Pleasant advisory neighborhood commission chair Gregg Edwards, whose single-member district is home to the library, says the design will make the library a hunchback.
The two other historic Carnegie libraries in the District have been made over by the D.C. Public Library in the last three years without suffering unwanted additions.
Whatever ones opinion of the planned design (dclibrary.org/constructionupdates/mtpleasant), it will, indisputably, block the light and air of surrounding apartments and create a view of a blank wall and a roof of mechanical equipment.
The Mount Pleasant library opened in 1925; it was the last of three branch libraries in D.C. paid for by Andrew Carnegie. The Friends of the Mount Pleasant Library group, residents and officials have been working for years to get funding for system upgrades and historic restoration.
Now that funding has been secured, the library is being closed prematurely, with major questions unresolved, just as spring break for D.C. schools begins and before the storefront interim library is ready, calling into question the D.C. Public Librarys common sense. But heres the real head-scratcher: Why wont the public library system listen to the public?
A petition can be signed online at
A rally will be held Saturday, beginning at 2 p.m., at the Mount Pleasant library, 16th and Lamont streets.

The minutes from the KCA meeting seemed to be about picking apart the MTP library plans in hopes of redirecting funds to a library in THEIR neighborhood at Marie Reed. So forgive me if this makes me nervous.
It's well documented on this "award winning" forum that nothing ever gets done in Mount Pleasant. While countless other neighborhoods have added retail and restaurants and are received street scape overhauls, Mount Pleasant has had little investment from private or public sectors. (note that we had one of the biggest drops of any neighborhood for tax assessed home values behind petworth...) When I first read about the plans for the library I told myself that it was too good to be true and the usual Nimbys would tear it apart. Of course that is what happened and yet I read in disbelief when a revised plan had been approved and it was back on track.
Now, with the temporary library nearly finished on MTP Street (thankfully taking up one of our vacant storefronts. And the most exciting thing to open its doors on MTP street in years.) One day before the library is to close and break ground, I'm reading that Kalorama has a problem with it? Can we get anything done in this neighborhood? No mural? fine. No bars? ok. Just give me a nice new library. And the arguments against the expansion are weak. Wheel chair ramp is too long? Big deal install a chair lift as a backup. We already have a basement meeting room that goes unused? Well of course. Who would meet in that basement when we can go across the street to bell multicultural? To suggest a clean new modern meeting room would go unused because our current dingy basement does is false logic used to advance their agenda. A meeting space like the one planed for the library could be put to countless uses from Neighborhood Meetings. Voting place. Classroom space. Movie nights. Neighborhood pot lucks. I for one am hoping the library is completed as planed. But then I'm a well known YIMBY.Yes. please put a nice new library with community meeting spaces in my backyard. Yes. please paint us a mural. open a wine bar. yes yes yes.

ANC Commissioner vs Fire Department Officials -- hmmmmm Navel gazers vs Trained Professionals (of course, referring to the firefighters as the trained professionals as I have yet to see any set of qualifications for ANC Commissioner above mouth breathing).
This is just one more example of our ANC folks using a made up issue to try to subvert something that will vastly improve the community for all the people. And once again proves how easy it is for these folks to just stamp their feet rather than get something done. The whole ANC system is such a monumental waste of money -- neighborhood bureacrats who are here to protect their prior positions over nothing.
yes -- I should have posted the "Rant Alert" at the beginning. This is just so frustrating.

"He was quite a distance away on another road, and when he turned off his chainsaw heard the individual hollering for help. Upon that point he ran through the woods for approximately 45 minutes to find him, and at that point he called emergency services for us to respond," said Tom Diedrich, Westerlo Fire Chief.
Rescue workers had to use a special ATV to get into the woods, to rescue the man. He was flown to the hospital, and there's no word on his condition.

News and statements from banks and other organisations that have committed to supporting the introduction of talking ATMs across the UK
Barclays, Lloyds, Nationwide, LINK, Co-operative, RBS, VISA and Natwest have all joined the Make Money Talk campaign. However HSBC and Santander have still not committed to adding voice assistance to their cash machines, if you're a customer take action and write to your bank asking them to make their cash machines accessible.
The Co-operative Bank have today announced the launch of the first talking ATMs with high contrast screens for blind and partially sighted customers with the over 400 going live on the 23rd May. The Bank will then launch over 1,000 ATMs with talking functionality by the end of 2013, with a further 1,000 planned for 2014. The 'talking ATM' functionality will eventually be available at all Co-operative Bank branch ATMs and at most ATMs at Co-operative Food stores. The service will be available to Link or Visa card holders from all banks.
RBS and NatWest are announcing in their 2012 Sustainability Report that they will be rolling out Talking ATMs for blind and partially sighted customers from early 2014, as part of an upgrade of their ATM network. 80 per cent of the 4,800 RBS and NatWest branded ATMs and in-branch Cash and Deposit machines will be speech enabled, with delivery completing in mid 2015. This is fanastic news as it means more blind and partially sighted people will be able to plug in their earphones to be verbally guided through their transactions and have independent access to their own money.
We are pleased to receive this statement confirming the roll out of accessibility improvements to Co-operative Bank cash machines:
"At the Co-operative Bank we are committed to implementing talking and high contrast services on our cash machines. We're starting the roll out in February and by the end of 2013 we'll have 1,000 of our ATMs enabled to "talk". Our aim is to extend this out to over 2,000 cash machines which is three quarters of our entire estate by the end of 2014." David Fawell, Head Commercial Payments
We are delighted to receive this statement from Visa:
"We welcome the expansion of talking ATMs in the UK market. Visa endeavours to ensure its products and services are as accessible as possible to all cardholders and the RNIB and Visa are committed to working together to address the needs of blind and partially sighted people in using ATMs"
"LINK welcomes the introduction of talking cash machines as a very important and exciting development which will undoubtedly help those with visual impairment get access to their cash" John Howells, Chief Executive of LINK Scheme
"As a leading supplier of Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), Wincor Nixdorf fully supports RNIB's Make Money Talk campaign. We have been working with our customers to raise awareness of this issue and enable all members of society to have equal access to their money. The announcement by Barclays Bank that their machines will have audio facilities for blind and partially sighted people is a major step forward, and we will continue to work with the industry to drive further improvements." Wincor Nixdorf
Nationwide has announced its full support for RNIB's Make Money Talk campaign and plans to implement talking cash machines in its ATM network. The Building Society has partnered with NCR, the world's largest ATM provider, to develop effective audio software, which it aims to deploy in 2013.
"This is terrific news and major progress for blind and partially sighted people across the country who need to use cash machines to access their money." Hugh Huddy, RNIB Campaigns Officer for Inclusive Society
Barclays announce that it has fulfilled its commitment to make more than 75 per cent of its ATMs "talk". Blind and partially sighted people can now take along their earphones and plug them into one of more than 3,000 Barclays speech enabled ATMs, and access their money. Barclays was the first major bank to sign up to our Make Money Talk campaign launched in September 2011. Research found that the majority of blind and partially sighted people who wanted to access their own money needed to ask a friend or relative for help using the ATM (or in some cases a passer-by) or go into their branch during working hours. "We are delighted Barclays has kept its promise and rolled out speech enabled ATMs, benefiting thousands of people with sight loss. We believe banks in the UK should provide ATMs with audio facilities for their blind and partially sighted customers, across their ATM networks, and now call for other banks to follow Barclays' example." Fazilet Hadi, RNIB Group Director of Inclusive Society.

LUMBERTON — Two teenagers are among three people who have pleaded guilty recently to murder in unrelated cases, according to District Attorney Johnson Britt.
Alton Terrel McRae, 19, of 3700 Smith Mill Road, Lumberton, Mitchell Dwayne Lowery, 18, of 41 Reservation Road, Shannon, and James Ezra White Jr., 20, of 1906 E. Seventh St., Lumberton, all entered their pleas of guilty to second-degree murder during hearings in Superior Court.
McRae pleaded guilty on Jan. 9 in the shooting death of Fred Stewart on July 29, 2009, and was sentenced to between 10 years, five months and 13 years, three months in prison. Stewart was shot to death at Turner Terrace, a public housing complex in South Lumberton, after Stewart accused McRae of being a police informant, according to Britt. McRae had been out on bond since his arrest on July 31, 2009.
Lowery pleaded guilty on Jan. 11 in the shooting death of Dennis Locklear, 20, of Rennert, on Oct. 29, 2009, and was sentenced to a minimum of nine years, two months, and 11 years and nine months. Lowery was a juvenile at the time of the murder, but was tried as an adult, according to Britt. The murder occurred at Locklear's parents' house after Lowery was accused of stealing a marijuana plant by a third individual. Lowery left and returned to the home with a shotgun and killed Locklear.
White pleaded guilty on Jan. 14 to the shooting death of Dwight Jordan, of Fayetteville, on June 27, 2009, at Turner Terrace and was sentenced to between 19 years, nine months and 24 years, six months in prison. White also pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit armed robbery, armed robbery in the shooting death and, in unrelated matters, he pleaded guilty to a common law robbery charge, breaking and entering and larceny.

Hammond, who had run a homespun bakery in Greensboro, wanted to get some kitchen experience in the Bay Area. Someone she knew knew someone who had a contact at Café Fanny; she called up and scored a job, just like that. Hammond … Continue reading »

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)THURSDAY HOMILY: Fire on the Earth. Living in the Son, Through the Holy Spirit, For the World
By Deacon Keith Fournier
October 25th, 2012 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) The apparent contrast between the readings offers an insight we need to ponder in prayer. Though the natural family reflects the plan of God, that plan is perfected and completed in Jesus Christ.When we say "yes" to discipleship everything changes, including the primacy of our natural family relationships. Jesus brought the Fire of the Holy Spirit to the earth to transform every relationship. CHESAPEAKE, VA. (Catholic Online) - "For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that he may grant you in accord with the riches of his glory to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner self, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the holy ones what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God."(Ephesians 3:14 - 19) Those words from the Apostle Paul to the early Christians in Ephesus are the first reading at Mass on Thursday in the 29th week in Ordinary Time. Yet, the Gospel text (Luke 12: 49-53) seems to shake the comforting assurance we receive from them. Jesus tells the disciples - and by extension everyone of us - "I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing! There is a baptism with which I must be baptized, and how great is my anguish until it is accomplished!" He continues, "Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. From now on a household of five will be divided, three against two and two against three; a father will be divided against his son and a son against his father, a mother against her daughter and a daughter against her mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law." The apparent contrast between the readings offers an insight we need to ponder in prayer. Though the natural family reflects the plan of God, that plan is perfected and completed in Jesus Christ. The Greek word for Father and family are connected. Paul is using them in a sort of play on words in his letter to the Ephesians to make an important point. When we say "yes" to discipleship everything changes, including the primacy of our natural family relationships. Jesus brought the Fire of the Holy Spirit to the earth to transform every relationship. Fathers are the foundation of families, they give them identity and meaning in both life and in death. The Catholic Catechism says, "The divine fatherhood is the source of human fatherhood; this is the foundation of the honor owed to parents." (CCC#2214) The Fatherhood of God is not simply a nice analogy; it reveals the order of creation and the plan of God revealed in its re-creation through Jesus Christ the Son. We are given new names and born anew into the family of God by the working of the Holy Spirit, the Fire of god's love. In the words of the Catechism, "By calling God "Father," the language of faith indicates two main things: that God is the first origin of everything and transcendent authority; and that he is at the same time goodness and loving care for all his children . . . He also transcends human fatherhood and motherhood, although he is their origin and standard: no one is father as God is Father." (CCC# 239) Jesus invites us to live in the relationship He has with His Father and makes it possible through the Fire of the Holy Spirit. He also offers us the means to begin to living this way beginning today! The new relationship we have in the family of God must become the ground and foundation for all of our relationships, including our natural family. Through our Baptism we became sons and daughters in the Son. We are now called to become by grace what Jesus is by nature. Christianity is a new way of living, a new way of loving, a new way of being fully human. We now bear the name Christian. The Biblical understanding of naming someone was a far more significant action than many contemporary approaches to choosing names communicate. To name was understood to confer identity and introduce the child into an ongoing relationship. Naming still confers identity and relationship. Understanding the implications of that fact takes a lifetime, and beyond. Our Heavenly Father has given us His name, His identity through Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son. We are "sons (and daughters) in the Son". Through our Baptism of new birth in water and the Spirit, we entered an eternal family. As the apostle Paul told the Christians in Rome, nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord, not even death. (Romans 8:38, 39) Because we have been baptized into Christ, He lives His life in us - and we live our lives in Him. This is meant to become an experiential reality for us and can become so through the fire of the Holy Spirit. If we learn to live our lives in the heart of the Church for the sake of the world. The Father still loves the world and gives His Son to save it. (John 3: 16) That happens through you and me, members of His family. In the words of St. Jose Maria Escriva, "May Our Lord be able to use us so that, placed as we are at all the cross-roads of the world - and at the same time placed in God - we become salt, leaven and light. Yes, you are to be in God, to enlighten, to give flavor, to produce growth and new life. But don't forget that we are not the source of this light: we only reflect it. (St. Jose Maria Escriva, Friends of God, 250) The Year of Faith is a Year for conversion. It challenges us to rediscover of what it means to be a Christian. Faith is a verb, it must be exercised. By living in the heart of the Church for the sake of the world we can bring the world back to God. This kind of missionary mindset has inspired great missionary ages in the past and brought extraordinary changes to entire cultures. It will once again! However, it always begins one person at a time. The power to effect redemptive change in the world comes from letting the life of God within us transform us and then shine through us. It is amazing how little leaven it takes to raise a loaf of bread. That is because within those little particles of yeast is found the power to ferment, to change the lump of wet dough into a loaf of aromatic, tasty, nourishing bread. However, the power contained within that yeast is not activated unless it is mixed and kneaded into the dough. Once you work the leaven in, it is still hidden to the eye but how it transforms that loaf! So it is with the leaven of new life in each one of us. So it is with Christians within human culture! The power within us is the very same power that raised Jesus from the dead (See Romans 8:11)! All we are asked to do is allow it to change us and then to mix it up by getting into the loaf of the world. We have to get in the loaf. We must be in the world - where Jesus is - in order to be used by Him to accomplish His ongoing work of redemption. Leaven or yeast that is not used in time spoils and loses its capacity to ferment that dough; it must be active or it becomes useless. That leaven must be in the dough to effect its extraordinary change. So it is with us. We must be "in the world" to effect its transformation. Once hidden in the loaf, leaven always raises the dough. It also takes human effort - it must be kneaded and worked into the loaf. The seed of the kingdom, the living Word, has been planted within each one of us. And now, we can become the seed, the salt and the leaven for the Divine Sower who continues His redemptive mission in a world waiting to be reborn in Him. He now spreads us in the field of the world to bear a harvest for the Kingdom to come. We are called to live at the crossroads of that world and become missionaries of the new world, of which the Church is a seed and sign. We are named by the Father and called to live our lives in the Son through the Holy Spirit for the sake of the world. Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) |

SRAM X0 3x10 High Clamp Front Derailleur
- Item: SRM0438 Actual Weight:"Actual Weight" means we weighed this item ourselves. 145 g
Sale from $62.86
While 2x10 drivetrain systems are all the rage, some of us still prefer three chainrings. The reason is that we don't want to give up the super low climbing gear. So if you're running a three ring crank, you'll need this SRAM X0 3x10 High Clamp Front Derailleur to match the rest of your new SRAM X0 drivetrain.
We've found that the new 10-speed X0 parts shift with the same crispness and precision as the benchmark XX front mechanism. The difference here is that you'll have the ability to swing the derailleur cage farther inboard and out to accommodate the width of the three chainring setup.
The aluminum links that shape the swing of the derailleur cage have widely spaced pivots for awesome stiffness. This rigidity inherent in the parallelogram is part of what makes X0 front shifting so quick and efficient. The derailleur cage is made from steel for maximum durability and is shaped for optimum performance with their X-Glide chainrings.
The SRAM X0 3x10 High Clamp Front Derailleur is configured to work as either top or bottom pull and is available for 31.8mm and 34.9mm clamp diameters.

Access to the Tulsa Community College Southeast Campus improved considerably following the widening of 81st Street and Mingo Road and 81st Street between Mingo Road and the Mingo Valley Expressway. This view, looking west from the expressway, shows the new five-lane roadway with the Tulsa Community College entrance at the first signal and Mingo Road in the distance. The street was widened to five lanes, and the intersection was widened to four lanes with left- and right-turn lanes on each approach. The lines on the pavement in the foreground indicate where temporary striping was placed for detours during the widening project. The project was constructed in 2007 and was funded by the 2001 and 2006 sales tax packages. Photograph taken April 14, 2008.
