This post is NSFW.
A few days ago I responded to a friend and fellow writer's Facebook plea -- Who wants to come with me to the Kinky Jews Passover seder?
I quickly responded with an "I do," though I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I hadn't bothered looking up the group before I signed on. I have a healthy sense of adventure and after spending the last month on a Dan Savage bender, catching up on most of the podcasts from the past couple of years, I felt like I was game for it.
The seder, which was held at an East Village restaurant was called for 7 but my friend and I arrived late just as you would to a party and walked in just as the Four Questions were getting started. Most of the chairs and stools, which were arranged around small round tables, were occupied by the time we arrived so we waited until the questions were asked and sort of answered. While we stood, I scanned the crowd. A range of ages were present though it did appear to tilt towards middle age couples or people in their 30s. As I expected, many were dressed in leather from corsets to pants but no one seemed too far over the top. (Well there was one guy in a corset and a short skirt and Mad Hatter hat. But more on him later.) From where I was standing, it all seemed pretty tame, the kind of kinkiness that's sort of mainstream these days what with women receiving fur handcuffs at bridal showers and all that jazz.
I was eventually seated at a table with an older couple and a man in his 50s. The table was filled with chocolate and candy causing me to remark that the spread was "like the plague of diabetes." All of the traditional foods were replaced by chocolate, which I guess was supposed to symbolized pleasure. Chocolate milk instead of Manischewitz (both equally sweet if you ask me). Chocolate chips instead of the bitter herbs. Chocolate pudding and marshmallows as a stand in for haroset. And the matzoh sandwich was replaced by a s'more.
A few minutes into the proceedings, I was tapped on the shoulder and not by the friend who came with me. I turned around to see an Orthodox Jew I knew from the Upper West Side. We had met a Shabbat meal a few years ago. He quickly returned to his seat but throughout the rest of the seder, I kept glancing over at him and giggling. I assumed that he was a fellow traveler like me, that he had heard about this seder and was intrigued. I would later learn that he was something of a regular at these kinky Jew events and had been attending them for two years running.
The highlight of the seder was the haggadah, which contained very little of the traditional liturgy. Instead there were songs set to showtunes, the Four Submissives (which replaced the usual Four Sons) and some pretty corny and groan-worthy jokes. Such as:
What do you call a person who enjoys eating the bread of affliction? Matzochistic!
What do you call a condom filled with Matzoh meal? A Pesach-dick!
As I said, none of this seemed particularly shocking. The atmosphere was genial and even when we were invited to "whip" each other with chocolate licorice whips, it all seemed very childlike and innocent.
The seder concluded with a search for the afikomen. The prize for finding it was a vibrator and the young man who found it dutifully gave it to his girlfriend.
I stood with my friend, each of us wondering what was going to happen next. The invite had said that the festivities were going on until 4 a.m. and it was barely 10 p.m. Surely there was more to come.
We soon found the back room, joined by two attractive Brazilian men who were also there out of curiosity and seemed equally out of place in the homely, leather clad crowd. Together we sat on and watched the after party.
On the couches opposite and all around us (and to the tunes of Florence + the Machine -- yay!), everyone else was getting busy. Two busty women had their tops off and were caressing each other. Another leather clad woman was having clamps attached to her nipples (and then later was whipped repeatedly by a man she dwarfed both in height and girth). A couple of men were led around by their leashes. But the star of the show, so to speak, was a woman who was receiving the "full-service treatment": two men were fondling her breasts while a third, the Mad Hatter that I mentioned earlier, knelt on the floor and performed oral sex while the rest of us-- not just me, my friend and the Brazilians but everyone-- looked on. This might've been even a little extreme for the Kinky Jews crowd.
As I watched and smiled sheepishly, I couldn't help noticing how unsexy all of this was. It seemed very easy and natural. You could approach someone, talk to him/her and see if he/she wanted to fool around with you. "There's no game aspect," explained one regular. And as someone who plays "the game" poorly, I can appreciate wanting to do away with it entirely. But what I realized is that playing it, even badly, lends much needed tension to the proceedings. When you go to a bar and flirt with a guy, part of the excitement you feel comes from wondering if he's interested, how interested and where it all will lead. At the Kinky Jews event, there was no ambiguity, no push and pull. Unless of course you were on the other end of a leash.
Happy Passover/Pesach!

With concerns that China's rapid economic expansion could slow down in 2012 and hit economies and commodity prices, European hedge fund managers are positioning themselves accordingly reported Reuters this week. Managers are building short positions on equity markets, the RMB, through to buying CDS on companies with exposure to China: something that Hugh Hendry found great success with last year by buying CDS of Japanese companies. Pedro de Noronha, managing partner at London hedge fund Noster Capital was quoted on Reuters as saying they were "quite sceptical and worried" as China was "an inflated castle in the air". Aside from recent cases of fraud and the country's real estate market, which themselves are key issues, it's the fact that China needs a healthy US consumer, which it's not getting right now, that could create "a severe leg-down in markets" said de Noronha. His firm is using futures to short Chinese H-shares and also has a short position on the Chinese RMB. Another manager, Victor Pina, CIO of London-based Javelin Capital, was said to be shorting natural resources stocks in Hong Kong as well as in Brazil and Russia. He was quoted as saying: "I think China will slow down. China has no alternative to what it is doing, which is putting the brakes on credit expansion."

"Education through labor" (劳教) has been the fate of many people in China since the 1950s: confinement to a labor camp to be reformed through hard work. The system is still very much in operation in China today, with more than 60,00 people apparently still confined in labor camps. Anyone can be sent to a labor camp for any kind of offense. Social society attempts to have the system reformed have in the last decade all been rebuffed.
Until yesterday. Xi Jinping, about to take the reins of government in China, yesterday made a somewhat passionate statement unequivocally calling for an end to "education through labor." Today, China's newspapers are full of portentous words such as "new era", "complying with the interests of the people", "fair justice for all", "resolutely opposing unfair law enforcement and corruption", "improving people's safety and happiness", and "the rule of law".
The rhetoric is almost breath-taking. For now these are only words, yet you have to hand it to Xi Jinping, what words! Intending to capture the true essence of Xi's momentous statements, the front page of the Sanxiang City Express (三湘都市报) from Hunan province today proclaims the end of the labor camp in China with the headline "Education through labor: 1957-2013", along with a simple design of a wall broken through, a great barrier breached.
At exactly the same time as the "Southern Weekly incident" against state censorship in China is taking place in Guangdong province, yesterday at the Political and Legal Work Conference in Beijing, Xi's comments included the following:
In every single legal case in China, we should work hard to ensure that the mass of the public feel they have received fair justice, so that the undertaking of socialism with Chinese characteristics can be guaranteed to progress smoothly.
As the Sanxiang City Express (三湘都市报) explains, the conference in Beijing is discussing the reform of a number of thorny issues. Chief among these are "education through labor" (劳教), a living relic of the Mao Zedong era in which individuals are sent to be reformed in labor camps for any kind of transgression; the population registration "hukou" system; and the mechanism of lodging public complaints via petitioning.
Following the editorial put out in the official Xinhua news agency (see Links and sources below), the Sanxiang City Express locates Xi's comments within China's transition to what is described as the "Chinese dream": a stable society ruled fairly by the law where "not only every individual has to obey the law, but every organized group, without exception." In this Chinese dream "no-one will be accused wrongly and evil-doers will not be tolerated."
China is undergoing fundamental change, it concludes, and the people's need for a safe and secure China ruled by the law is urgent. It is just as urgent for Chongqing University student Ren Jianyu (任建宇), whose experience is raised as a case in point in the Sanxiang City Express. Ren was charged with subversion of state power in 2011 and sentenced to two years in a labor camp. His crime was to post a series of "negative" comments online. Ren appealed his sentence, but a higher court in Chongqing upheld the original verdict in December 2012.
So Ren and more than 60,000 others are still languishing in labor camps, and they will stay there until Xi comes good on his words.
Appendix: A short history of "education through labor" (Brief summary of Sanxiang City Express)
"Education through labor" was brought into existence in 1957, yet was confined to only select groups of criminals. From 1979, the types of people sent to such camps began to multiply, eventually encompassing almost every kind of criminal category. In the last decade there have been various calls for the abolition of the system, including an attempt through the National People's Congress in 2005 and a joint letter by intellectuals to the State Council Legislative Affairs Office in 2007. None of these attempts met with any success.
In October 2012 the State Council Information Office released a White Paper on judicial reform in China. This document mentioned that reform of "education through labor" was being considered.

A centerline is one of the most useful engineering "tools" you'll ever use, and once you know how you can make everything in your house look a little more … centered.
Centerline applications are practically endless, but there are a few ways you'll use this trick all the time, if you don't already.
Centerline Defined
A centerline is a line drawn in the center between two points. So, on a wall, the centerline would mark the midpoint between either edge, but a centerline can be used anywhere.
You can use a pencil, painter's tape or anything else you want to make your centerline, and how exact it needs to be is relative to the space you're bisecting.
Here are just a few things you can center with a centerline:
Hanging Picture Frames
Let's say you want to hang a frame at the exact midpoint of a wall. First, measure the length of the wall, divide by two and then draw your centerline. Now, place your mounting hardware anywhere on the line – ta da!
Mounting Hardware & Decor
There are plenty of things you might want to center: range hoods, towel bars, mirrors and drawer hardware are just a few things that come to mind.
Remember, your centerline doesn't have to bisect a wall length. To hang a mirror that's centered above your mantel, make a centerline on the wall that bisects the mantel length.
Centering Furniture
Yep, you can even make sure your furniture is aligned by using centerlines. Imagine you want your couch to be perfectly framed by the wall. Use tape to mark the centerline on your wall (or even the floor) as well as on your couch, and then line them up.
Now even your furniture is on the straight and narrow.

Thread: Bernard Pollard responds
Re: Bernard Pollard responds
If there are two or more people involved in any undertaking there is politics involved. There are right and wrong ways to play politics and get the outcome you desire. Playing team politics the wrong way gets you off the team - even if the outcome of your position was what was desired.
Pollard & Reed played the political game wrong and are gone.
Re: Bernard Pollard responds
I would say there are no rules in politics, except you have to have the juice. If you have the votes, then you can press your agenda no matter how ugly it gets. If you don't have the right backing lined up, you better not stick your neck out.
What I'm trying to say is that there are players who have the juice -- Flacco, Rice, Yanda, Ngata, Suggs, Webb. They aren't going to cut those guys right now, so those guys can press for an agenda when the players need clout. Pollard didn't have the juice. So if he was a bit of a cancer, then indeed he made a political mistake. That's a reasonable thing to say.
But it still comes down to guessing about how bothered Harbaugh was or wasn't about Pollard's mouth.
I can believe it was an issue, but I don't believe it was THE ISSUE.

Re: Bernard Pollard responds
Supposedly, that meeting that was characterized as a "near mutiny" was where Harbaugh encouraged players to speak freely.
Only after the players spoke up. It's not like Harbaugh said "let's get our feelings out."
There was an unprovoked challenge made to his authority. He responded pretty well to it. But it's generally not the best practice to call out your boss in front of your coworkers, is it?
Re: Bernard Pollard responds
True. Of course, my co-workers and I are not generally making $2 to $12 million a year, in many cases two or three times more than the boss. So... I don't know if the working environment here tells me anything about the working environment inside the place they call The Castle.
Re: Bernard Pollard responds
John Harbaugh is a gangster at heart. If you haven't figured that out by now, you might want to ask somebody.
Whose is the one key name missing from the entire 'mutiny' story? The leader of leaders for the Baltimore Ravens, Ray Lewis. Do you want to know why, because Ray Lewis handled issues with the coaching staff the right way. When he felt that Greg Mattison was not aggressive enough, he went to him personally, behind closed doors. When he felt that they should "let the rushers rush and the cover guys cover", as he put it, he went to the coaches, before bringing his information back to the players. Ray Lewis led with positive energy. If you notice, of all the veterans that we've heard of who didn't care for Harbaugh, the one guy whose name has never came up is Ray Lewis.
Reed was never a leader. Reed was an introvert who wanted to do things his own way. Once he got older, due to his status, he just felt like he shouldn't be told how to do things, because his way always worked. His actual leadership skills are hit and miss.
You don't buck a coach after the ass whooping they took, because you don't feel as though you should have to practice in pads. Really? Do you think Belichick puts up with that shit? Do you think Mike Tomlin puts up with that shit? That defense went through one sucky assed season and look how the players handled it throughout the entire year. God Bless Ray Lewis, because there aren't too many leaders that could have kept that ship together. God Bless Joe Flacco too, because he's the one who had to put up with Cameron's shit while getting criticized by his own teammates no less. Who was the main guy who came out and did that? Surprise, surprise, Ed Reed.
I keep telling you guys that John Harbaugh is Michael Corleone deep down. And you know what, now that they won the Super Bowl, Ozzie is REALLY going to roll with it. This is what Bisciotti wanted when he fired Billick, somebody to unify the locker room and restore order."Please take with you this final sword, The Excellector. I am praying that your journey will be guided by the light", Leon Shore
Re: Bernard Pollard responds
I loved having Pollard on the team but being honest he can not cover very well. Why pay him when you could draft a rookie and pay him dirt and maybe get a future pro bowler/HOF player?
It's all strategy and business.

Re: Bernard Pollard responds
Fair enough and you're definitely right that it's hard to compare. But I think this quote from the article sums everything up: "Harbaugh also is wise enough to realize that any player who doesnt understand the notion that coaches coach and players play should be playing for someone else."
This is of course accepting that this near mutiny is the only reason he was cut. It's much ado about nothing IMO. Pollard had other issues that led to his release. Given that he's gotten a June designation, it's definitely more cap related than we originally believed.

Re: Bernard Pollard responds
If you have a look at the behind the scenes video of the game against the Broncos, at 3:45, look at the communication and understanding between Ray and John. Ive never seen John do this, as in, talk to the players about the plays in-depth and consult, also because I rarely watch behind the scenes stuff. Usually Ray would be talking to a defensive coach, but here he talks directly with John. John may just be a Special Teams coach, which is probably why he doesnt get the respect from Pollard and Reed, but if you look at this scene, John is willing to listen and understand as long as there is effective communication and mutual respect. Excellector is spot on.

Re: Bernard Pollard responds
Yes, isn't it odd?
I could care less about this story from PFT. They really are rumor mongors who look for the least bit of shit to stirr just for a story.
As for Pollard, the dude was a frickin' banger. The hit on Ridley (NE) in the playoffs earned him his pay check for the season, IMO. I wish he was still here."Screw it, let's ride"!
Re: Bernard Pollard responds

This past Wednesday, I was reading the article "Shooting Straight," in the Feb. 20 edition, when I came across the following line by Ruth Hollan – "What gives our sheriff the authority to buck the federal government?"
At that point I had to stop and did not know if I should laugh at Hollan's statement or to feel sorry for her. Perhaps the "what" she is searching for could come from the ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Printz vs. US, in 1997. In the ruling Judge Scalia's summary stated the following:

The beginning of June sees a deluge of free books that are taking over the Kindle Bestseller lists (found via posts on Kindle Korner) –
- Terry Brooks' Magic Kingdom for Sale – Sold! Very well reviewed with a 4.5 star rating. Currently #17 in the Kindle Store.
- Star Wars' Lost Tribe of the Sith: Precipice (#2 in the Kindle Store) –
PRECIPICE includes an exclusive excerpt from STAR WARS: FATE OF THE JEDI: OMEN (Del Rey Hardcover, available June 23rd) and offers a unique look into the backstory of events that will begin to unfold in OMEN.
- For Love of Mother Not by Alan Dean Foster.
- The earlier discussed free pilot script – Nurse Jackie on Showtime.
- Performance Criteria: Droid Wars I. Note: this is an erotic novel.
- Orbit's $1 ebook is back – Midnight Never Come by Marie Brennan.
That's 4 free kindle books, a free script and a $1 ebook. Not bad at all. Do note that you can go to BookMonk dot com and use the kindle free book search tool that covers free public domain books and free new books at the Kindle Store. To search through just the New free books check this kindle free book list link.
At the moment, there are something like 11 free books, 15 free romance novels, and 2 free bibles. The 4 new free books don't show up yet for some reason (will take a look at it in the next few days).
Also, these aren't yet mentioned on the Kindle Deals page or on the official Amazon Kindle blog. Another good source for cheap books for the Kindle is Books on the Knob – they cover $1 and $2 ebooks which we don't.

Dragon Age 2 Cheats :
Unlockable - Achievements: Legacy DLC
by dkgyuayugkvda Jun 28, 2011
Glitch - Activate sustainable abilities that are not meant to be able to be activated together.
by rehavard2 Mar 29, 2011
(Example: Control and Might for warriors are not meant to be able to be activated at the same time) Activate one, and before it's done casting, activate the other. It should activate them both and you should get the affects of both. This works for all sustainable abilities that are not meant to be able to be activated simultaneously. |
Unlockable - Blood Dragon Armor
by acraponmeee Mar 24, 2011
If you have a save from Dragon Age Origins on your hard drive and you had the Blood Dragon Armor in that game, it will be available in the sequel. |
Code - Item Duplication and Free Gold Cheat
by Recess Monkey Mar 17, 2011
Note: This only works for items that stack/multiple items. 1.Move the items you want to duplicate to Junk (press Y). Move only one set of items. Go to a merchant and choose to Sell. 2.Sell the whole stack. 3.Go to Buy and then to Buyback. Purchase all but one of the items back. 4.Go back into Sell and to the Junk tab. Select the item stack. Press Y and, at almost the same time press A. The item will disappear from the list but a Sell prompt should appear. If not, repeat steps 3-4. Sell the whole stack. You will notice that the money you recieved for the items is twice the cost you sold them for. 5.Go back to Buy/Buyback and you will notice that the quantity of the items the merchant has are doubled. Repeat steps 3-4 as many times as you like for infinite gold and stacks of items up to 999 |
Code - Infinite Gold and Experience
by rh1211 Mar 17, 2011
Here are some exploits that can land you an infinite amount of Gold and Experience. These techniques are sure to be patched, but you can delete game patches if you've already updated your game. Complete any side quest that does not activate a cutscene when receiving your reward (for example, the "South-Song" Gerralt's Corpse side quest or any "Find And Deliver" side quest), then save the game. Draw your weapon, and approach the NPC. While your character is putting away their weapon to talk to the NPC, rapidly press A to get unlimited money and EXP. You can keep doing this until you move your character. You can repeat this bug as much as you want. -ragingvalheru While you are in Kirkwall, there is a quest in the chantry called "Sister Plinth's Remains." While returning her remains to her brother, DO NOT MOVE -- this prevents the exploit from working. Just keep pressing the button to turn over the remains and the brother will keep giving you the reward. Note: You find the remains in Darktown in the top right corner of the map. They are surrounded by a bunch of soldiers. -AgensM |
Code - Infinite Armor Points
by SouthGate Mar 17, 2011
You can pull this off with Hawke and Aveline at any time. Simply equip, un-equip, and re-equip a shield. Your Armor stat/percentage will constantly increase as you do so! You can max out your Armor Points by doing this. |
Glitch - Infinite Ability Points
by lamps21 Mar 15, 2011
To do this glitch, you need to obtain the Makers Sigh potion and lots of it. Start by assigning your available abilities to your tactics menu. Once this is done, use the Makers Sigh potion. Using this potion will remove all your abilities. Now save and reload that save. Go into your ability menu and you will notice that the abilities you assigned to your tactics are already unlocked, but you still have all your unassigned ability points. You can either use the Makers Sigh potion again and save then reload, or assign your points to other abilities, put them in your tactics menu, and repeat the rest of the glitch for even more ability points. This glitch also allows you to unlock certain abilities in classes without having to go through the entire skill tree. |
Glitch - Infinite points in Armor
by thetetsh Mar 11, 2011
This can be done with Aveline or Warrior Hawke at any point in the game. All you have to do with either is to equip and then un-equip and then re-equip a shield. Your Armor number and percent continues to go up as you equip and un-equip. Do it as many times as you want till you max it out. |
Glitch - Item Dupe and Money
by awggoldberg Mar 11, 2011
As with Dragon Age: Origins, place your most expensive item into your trash alone. Go to a merchant. Select sell and go to the trash tab. Hit Y and then nearly immediately press A. If you were successful the item you sold will have sold twice giving you extra money. To duplicate stackable items like potions purchase two or more stackable items. Do the above cheat. Enter into buy mode. Buy back all but one of the item you wish to duplicate. Repeat the cheat. Your stackable items will have increased for as many as you have sold. Example: Purchase ten potions. Place them in your junk pile. Perform the cheat. Enter the buy tab. Re-purchase nine of the ten potions from the buy-back tab. Enter the sell mode. Go to the trash tab. Perform the cheat. You will have 19 potions and their cost in coins doubled back to you. |
Glitch - Infinite XP and Gold Glitch
by ryedur18 Mar 10, 2011
Before finishing a side quest that doesn't trigger a cutscene, draw your weapon. Once your weapon is drawn, talk to the NPC that completes the quest. Once your character puts his or her weapon away, repeatedly hit A till desired level or gold amount is reached. |

Competitions or appeals seeking submissions of creative works from the public, works such as photos, videos, poems, music, etc., are reviewed by the Bill of Rights campaign. The reviews are to help you decide whether you should participate in the competition or appeal. The only thing you need to understand is that when you create a work (e.g. a photo) the law automatically makes you the sole beneficiary of certain rights over that work (but see note 1 below). These rights are called intellectual property rights.
Rights have a value and you are free to decide what that value is. If a person or organisation would like to use your work to promote something, you have the right to refuse permission, or to set a fee for a specific use and decide how long they may use it. More information about intellectual property rights and their value to you as an individual can be read in our Guide to Rights & Licensing. Listed on the next tab are some competitions or appeals promoted by the above organisation. For each we detail how the organisation's terms and conditions will exploit your rights to their advantage for works you submit to their competition or appeal.
A copy of this report was submitted to the organisation to help them review and change their terms and conditions. We also took the opportunity to invite them to join the Bill of Rights Supporters' Group. This would have enabled them to enjoy the benefits of being a member of a group which supports and respects others' intellectual property rights. Unfortunately the negotiations did not conclude successfully.
The main aims of the Bill of Rights Campaign are to help everyone understand that their intellectual property rights have a value and to encourage competition and appeal organisers to adopt the standards set out in the Bill of Rights for Artists.
Note 1. Rights for works created as an employee are usually owned by your employer.
Competitions which meet all the standards set out in the Bill of Rights For Artists do not do any of the following -
We have written an Organisers Guide to the Bill of Rights to help organisers draft terms and conditions that respect the rights of entrants and at the same time provide legal protection for the organiser.

Organisations who would like to be promoted as a Bill of Rights Supporter and have their competitions promoted on the Rights On List can use this contact form. We look forward to hearing from you.

RedNet D16 AES is a 1U 19in rack-mount interface featuring 16 channels of AES/EBU connectivity to and from a Dante audio network, with Ethernet redundancy for maximum network reliability. Perfect for bridging between digital consoles, power amplifiers or any other AES3 equipped audio equipment and a Dante network, RedNet D16 AES has a Sample Rate Convertor (SRC) on each input pair allowing instant operation with any AES3 source. Word Clock and Digital Audio Reference Signal (DARS) connections provides synchronisation with a wide range of hardware, while S/PDIF I/O allows the integration of equipment such as CD or solid state recorders/players.
Two DB25 connectors each provide eight channels of combined I/O to the AES59 standard, allowing speedy interconnection with other DB25-connected or XLR-based equipment by use of standard DB25 to XLR cables. The rear-panel XLR female input can be used either as a DARS sync source for the Dante system, or as an AES3 audio source replacing input channels 1–2 on the DB25 connectors. An XLR male socket provides a duplicated AES3 outlet for output channels 1–2. The RCA S/PDIF input can similarly replace input channels 3–4 of the DB25 connectors, while the S/PDIF output can replicate any adjacent odd/even pair of the 16 output channels.
The two network connectors on the rear of the unit allow two modes of operation. They can be used either as a primary/redundant network interface, allowing seamless switchover in the case of network failure, or as a daisy-chain port allowing the connection of multiple units.
All the clocking and input/output options of RedNet D16 AES are remotely-controlled by the RedNet Control software application for Mac and PC.
Focusrite RedNet will be discussing and demonstrating the full range of RedNet products at the AV Networking World event, taking place 4th February at the Amsterdam Holiday Inn during ISE. To register your attendance please click here.
For more information please visit: http://www.focusrite.com/ethernet-audio-interfaces/rednet-d16-aes
Also included in the RedNet range of Dante break-in/break-out boxes are RedNet 1 & RedNet 2, which offer eight or sixteen channels of line-level analogue in and out, with Focusrite's precision 24-bit A-D and D-A conversion for superb audio performance. RedNet 3, which interfaces your digital audio systems and components to the Dante network via AES/EBU, S/PDIF and ADAT connections. RedNet 4 which adds eight of Focusrite's next-generation remote controlled preamps/line inputs with two selectable DIs to your Dante system; RedNet 5, which provides a bridge between the Dante network and Pro Tools|HD systems and RedNet 6 which provides a 64-channel bridge between the Dante network and MADI systems. Also available is the RedNet Dante PCIe card, which is an ultra low latency 128 I/O Dante interface for PC and Mac.
Key Features
16 Channel RedNet AES3 Interface for Dante Network
AES3 connectivity allows you to connect external converters, effects units, mixing consoles or any other AES3-equipped audio equipment to your Dante audio network with industry-standard connectivity.
Ethernet Redundancy
Network redundancy is frequently specified. RedNet D16 satisfies this requirement with dual rear-panel Ethernet connectors giving you maximum network reliability with seamless switchover to a standby network in case of failure. The ports can alternatively be used to daisy-chain additional units.
Sample Rate Conversion on all input channels
Get up and running instantly: SRC allows external equipment to run at any sample rate, irrespective of the rate or clocking of the Dante audio network
1U Chassis
Compact design allows maximum functionality in minimum rack space, with a full 16 channels of I/O in 1U. RedNet D16 AES features the standard trademark red anodised front panel
2-channel XLR I/O as well as DB25
RedNet D16 provides two 8-channel AES59 combined I/O DB25 connections. In addition, a pair of XLR3 connectors duplicates channels 1 & 2
XLR Input for DARS or Digital Audio
The rear panel XLR input connector can alternatively be used as a DARS input instead of channels 1 & 2 input
2-channel S/PDIF I/O
Two channels of S/PDIF I/O are provided on RCA connectors: ideal for connecting CD players or solid-state recorders. The input replaces channels 3 & 4 in the DB25 connector while the output can be assigned to replicate any adjacent odd/even output pair
Word Clock
Word Clock I/O on BNC connectors allows synchronisation of the Dante network to house clock, or the syncing of external equipment to the Dante network
Remote routing and control
RedNet Control software allows full routing and control from your audio computer system via a software control panel – no hardware patching required.

Cape Horn
Well, a combination of this darn warm weather and a jack-knifed truck on the expressway conspired to "nudge" me into buying a kayak today. I just had to wait out the worst of the traffic downtown so I dropped by one of the outfitter stores on Commonwealth Ave.
I wanted to check out the new Phase-3 seating in the Wilderness System kayaks. I've had my eye on the 15.5' Cape Horn model for a while now. Anyway, of the 30 boats they had hanging from the ceiling, there were no Cape Horn 15's to be found. After inquiring about them, or the conpsicuous lack there of, the saleswoman emerged from the backroom with what I will henceforth be refering to as "my kayak" for the remainder of this post. It was the boat, in the color that I was going to order(Granite Grey). What can I say, it was warm outside, the boat was exactly what I wanted, it had just come off the truck that morning, did I mention it was warm outside.........? "Hi Honey, how was your day? Traffic? It wasn't as bad as they said it would be...........bought a kayak......was Sean on his best behavior today? What do you want to do for dinner? What? What did I just say? You mean.....It wasn't as bad as they said it would be? Oh, after that. I bought a kayak? Yeah, I'm serious, a big, fat Wilderness Systems kayak, "my kayak.";) Lucky for me she is quick to forgive my fiscal indiscretions. I pick up the yak this weekend. Spring can't come soon enough. Yippee!!! Now, if I just had a paddle to make the damn thing go! :hehe: |
Don't forget that my paddle is in your garage. Don't forget that you live 5 minutes from a pond. Now you have me jealous... |
WOW! Congrats - some things were just meant to be. It's gonna be an awesome summer.
You're going to be a speed demon in that thing! How about a tow for your fat old buddy Roop? If you want to do some scouting this weekend email me & we'll make plans. Couldn't find any partners last week & I won't paddle in cold water alone. |
Congrats Mark, tha Cape Horn is a great looking boat!
I'm going to try out a couple of paddles - Aquabound and Eclipse, both carbon v.light and both in the low $200s. Still waiting for an ETA on my Dry-Suit - as soon as its in I'm ready to go. Looking forward to paddling with you guys. |
Mikie, you're still welcome to try mine before you go getting all gaga over the 'fiscal indiscretion' - obviously Bob Smith is smiling :D
Congrats Mark!!!:smokin: |
Thanks Dave!
Thanks for the extended offer. I will probably take you up on the offer after I pay a visit to some kayak shops and really take a good look at some of the other boats out there. I like the Carolina and hopefully it is all the boat I need. -Mike |
Hey Adrian, a certain online REcreatIonal gear retailer has the Aquabound Expedition AMT in carbon fibre for $180.
At 33 oz. that is the best cost/weight ratio that I could find. ~Mark |
Here's my baby......
http://www.wildernesssystems.com/ima...ehorn15_34.jpg Roop, fast is a relative term. Have you ever seen some of the rolly-polly guys that crawl out of top fuel dragsters at the finish line? If they had to propel those cars themselves your kids could beat them on a pogo stick. |
Mark I'm curious about that fancy three-point seating system. Care to describe features??? - offline if you choose. Thanks.
NICE ONE!!! How long before it's covered with UV resistant brew logo stickers? I can almost see a Black&Tan tap mounted on the rear hatch! This could be quite a summer... |
No problem Dave, first the WS brochure propaganda:
"Phase-3 lets you fit the boat to your body, and re-fit without landing and exiting the boat. Raise and lower the seat-back height, recline, raise and lower the thigh support. Adjust on the fly to relieve fatigue or to snug yourself in for carving turns or rolling." What does that all translate into in the real world? The seat seems to consist of three major components. There is the main foundation that is anchored to the inside hull. Your body contacts it at the hips and the very lower portion of your back. On top of this lies a padded seat that is hinged in the back. It can be tilted up and down, under you thighs, by shortening and lengthening two nylon straps that connect on either side, towards the front of the pad. The lumbar support can be raised and lowered vertically, as well as reclined, by pulling on a nylon rope that is locked into place with a barrel lock. If that completely confuses you, click here to go to the Wilderness Systems page and then click on the green recliner in the lower right corner for a macromedia image. And Pete.....I'm unaware if my license to transport massive amounts of alcohol has a marine clause. If so, you can bet I'll have plenty of "ballast" for the troops this summer. I think we are going to need a designated paddler? ~Mark |
Ahh......the boat has reached it's new home and I have but one concern.......where the #@&$ do I store a 15.5 ft. kayak?
The spray skirt showed up in the mail as well today. Roop, I'm lacking time for the next few weekends so any true paddling will have to wait until at least March 24th. Next week is the Casting Clave, the following weekend is my vocations X-mas(that would be St. Patrick's Day), and I have a date with my accountant on Saturday the 23rd to settle up with Uncle Sam. He doesn't know it yet but he'll be paying for my kayak and a monstrous swing set for my son's birthday. All the best, ~Mark |
Storage is a problem.
I have mine (@13'?) hangin over the hoods of our 2 vehicles in the gargage. If I ever get my barn built, I envision a small closet/ shed off the back: 3' deep, 18' long, barn doors - with racks to store yaks & canoes. Maybe a good spring project for the clan? If we get some more snow, take your son for a sled ride in it!!:D |
my solution
I have mine on a couple of large "J" hooks (about $5 from local hardware store) attached to the garage wall. I lined the hooks with neoprene for better support. The hooks are about 11 inches wide and spaced to support the strongest points. The tie on the carrying handle carries no weight, it's just for insurance ;) http://www.avsharp.com/yak1.jpg |

AUDIO: Roman Hamrlik | Travis Moen | Tomas Plekanec
The Canadiens had a team meeting this morning in Brossard and then had what Tomas Plekanec described as a welcome day away from the ice. Plekanec noted that several players are battling colds and needed both a mental and physical break.
Two players did take advantage of the ice. Jeff Halpern skated for about 15 minutes while Travis Moen went on the ice to break in a new pair of skates.
And RDS reports Mike Cammalleri has strep throat – and denies idiotic rumour he'd asked to be traded.

US Busts Iran-Connected Bomb Plot
The Iranian government directed, sponsored and coordinated a plot to kill the Saudi Ambassador to the United States, top US law enforcement officials alleged Tuesday. According to the Justice Department, two men, Iranian American Manssor Arbabsiar, 56, and Iranian Gholam Shakuri, worked with members of the powerful Iranian Revolutionary Guard on a plan to bomb the Saudi embassy in Washington, DC. Arabsiar is in US custody and has been charged in federal court in New York; Shakuri remains at large in Iran.
The elaborate "murder for hire" plot "reads like the pages of a Hollywood script," Robert Mueller, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, said in a Tuesday afternoon press conference. The government believes the planning for the plot began this spring, when Arabsiar, who lives in Texas, met with a Drug Enforcement Administration informant in Mexico who was a member of a "violent international drug trafficking cartel," according to Mueller. Arbabsiar supposedly intended to gain the man's support to bomb the Saudi Embassy in Washington, and the informant requested $1.5 million to carry out the plot. Arbabsiar agreed and, according to the Justice Department, sent "two overseas wire transfers totaling approximately $100,000" to an "undercover FBI account."
Arbabsiar was denied entry into Mexico on September 28th and sent back to New York, where federal agents arrested him the next day. The FBI says that Arbabsiar admitted to the assassination plot during interrogation after waiving his Miranda rights. He claimed that his cousin is a "senior member" of the Iranian Quds Force, a unit of Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard, and that he recruited Arbabsiar while he was in Iran, intending for Arbabsiar to kidnap the Saudi Ambassador to the US.
Arbabsiar claims to have met with "senior" Iranian officials and the other man charged in the plot, Shakuri, during his time in Iran, according to the Justice Department. While he was in custody last week, Arbabsiar, at the "direction" of Federal Agents, called Shakuri, who was in Iran, and discussed the plot. Shakuri instructed Arbabsiar to go ahead with the plot: "[J]ust do it quickly, it's late..."
Cable news networks have dedicated wall-to-wall coverage of the plot, which quickly became the story of the day after details first leaked early Tuesday afternoon. Attorney General Holder said the US will "hold Iran accountable" and that the Treasury Department will follow up with its own response soon. As counterterrorism expert Daveed Gartenstein-Ross notes, the fact that Holder chose to weigh in on the Iran connection is a sign the Obama administration "is deadly serious about it." It's likely that the busted plot could lead to additional sanctions on Iran.
There are also reasons to be skeptical of the seriousness of the threat, however. "I am putting this scary Iranian-Mexican plot into the 'delusional moron' category unless I see any evidence to the contrary," Foreign Policy's Blake Hounshell tweeted Tuesday. As in many other cases involving FBI informants, it was the informant, not the suspect, who was to provide the means to carry out this attack. "Many lives could have been lost in the plot to kill the ambassador with bombs in the US," Mueller said during Tuesday's press conference. But, as in many other cases involving the FBI's use of informants, there was never an actual bomb.
Reza Aslan, an Iran expert who I worked for last year, doesn't buy the idea that the Iranian government was involved with the plot at a high level. "The Iranian regime may support terror groups who pose a risk to US national security, but it has never attempted a terror plot inside US soil and there is really no reason to believe that it would do so," he argues. Could Iran be trying to instigate a new conflict with the United States? Aslan says no: "Iran has no interest in initiating an open conflict with the US. Could there be rogue elements within the Revolutionary Guard working independently of the government on what is clearly an assassination for hire? Perhaps." Overall, Aslan says, the idea of a far-reaching conspiracy "simply does not pass the smell test at this point."
The Iranian government, through its state media outlet Press TV, denied the accusations, saying that the plot was a "prefabricated scenario." Another Iranian news outlet, the Islamic Republic News Agency, said the plot was part of a "new propaganda campaign against Iran."

Suitcase Chair
If you hate using public seating like me, then you know how important it can be to have a personal sitting device available at all times. Enter the suitcase chair. In case you couldn't tell, it's a suitcase that turns into a chair. We may have a regular da Vinci on our hands here this thing is so brilliant. I was just thinking the other day I wished that my good for nothing suitcase could transform into a sweet chair with fake carbon fiber veneer. Not only that, but the excitement of getting to pick up all my stuff after it's been dumped on the bus station floor nearly had me in tears I wanted one so bad.

A San Diego foundation is partnering with athletes to launch a new campaign to create awareness about organ donations.
The foundation will host events, raise money to help transplant recipients and encourage people to sign up to become organ donors.
Diane Brockington, the executive director of the John Brockington Foundation, said she hopes that their partnership with sports figures will help boost the number of organ donors by reaching a new demographic of people.

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), both part of the National Institutes of Health, today announced a major research funding opportunity designed to spur innovative academic-private sector research collaborations to develop novel approaches to eliminate HIV. NIAID and NHLBI expect to fund three to six grants for a total of roughly $11.2 million per year for five years through the new request for applications (RFA).
Scientific advances in recent years have led to growing optimism that an HIV cure is an attainable goal. In December 2013, the NIH announced it would invest an additional $100 million over a three-year period toward this goal, which includes research that focuses on sustained remission, that is maintaining undetectable virus levels in the absence of antiretroviral therapy, as well as completely eliminating the virus from the body.
The new RFA, called "Beyond HAART: Innovative Approaches to Cure HIV-1," will support investigators who have three to four interrelated, research projects that combine basic science and preclinical research with translational research, such as test-of-concept studies in animals or humans.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to
NIAID and NHLBI will accept applications through July 28, 2014. For more information about the RFA, see Beyond HAART: Innovative Approaches to Cure HIV-1 (U19).

Thomson Spirit (Butlins at sea): Thomson Spirit Cruise Review by George Lazenby
Overall Member Rating
Thomson Spirit (Butlins at sea)
Destination: Middle East
Embarkation: Aqaba
On a positive note, the ship was clean and we upgraded to an outside cabin which was impressively large for such a small cruise ship...yes that's it for the positive.
Negative: Everything else.
There was an area at the rear of the ship (called Lido I think), which was packed every day with a heaving mass of excess blubber sunbathing,and people drinking alcohol from breakfast to bedtime. (The Gym attendant told me that many people actually had the nerve to say the sun loungers were too small, only because they couldn't fit their bulk onto them!).... and yes, the Gym was always empty!
There was a dress code for the eating areas (cover up please)... which many refused to follow and the staff would not enforce. This led to us having to eat with half naked people who wouldn't look out of place in a rundown Seafront fish and chip shop. It's More interesting to note that they all seemed to like it there.
Needless to say we very quickly learned to avoid that area.
There was a better restaurant in another part of the ship, and that was fine. The waiters were very cheerful and attentive, but that soon changed at the end of the cruise if no extra tip was forthcoming. (tips are included on Thomson cruises so they shouldn't expect more...but they do)
We were looking forward to the Captains cocktail party and had the required Dinner jacket and glittery dress for the occasion. BIG MISTAKE.
We expected the usual cocktail party with drinks and a mingle with staff and other passengers with gentle music playing in the background.
What we actually got was an hour of queuing to have a photograph taken with your partner. Then more queuing to have your photo taken with the Captain (why?...as we don't know him!).
Then in to the entertainment area to be given one drink (very strict on the ONE drink) and told to sit down.
When all guests were in, the Captain got on the stage and introduced the heads of staff for each department and it was over! We sat there waiting for the actual cocktail party to begin, until the place emptied and we realized that it was over. It was an outrageous joke and a complete waste of our time.
The entertainment was very amateurish and on par with a karaoke evening, even though it's advertised as similar to West End shows .... and I admit I have seen some very dire shows in the West End, but never as bad as they were.
The excursions were very expensive and very rushed. We particularly wanted to see the Pyramids, but they did not allow any time to wander around. The moment we arrived we were told to be back on the coach in half an hour. The whole Giza area is very large and needs at least 3 hours to appreciate.
Many people on cruises are elderly and cannot walk fast, therefore they hardly had time to walk to the nearest Pyramid before having to rush back to the coach.
Hint: Avoid the drinks package! Very expensive and to get value for money, you would have to get drunk every night. That might seem like an attractive proposition for some (and it was with many on the ship) but not us. The drinks are regular pub prices and easily affordable without having to skimp. We would have a bottle of wine with dinner and two or three Gin & Tonics, and the occasional cocktail every day.... and it still cost half of the drinks package deal for the week.
One strange and unexpected anomaly were the children on the cruise.... who turned out to be better behaved than the adults.
Now I do realise that there are some of you reading this who are thinking it all sounds great, and you will go and book a cruise on the Thomson Spirit tomorrow...... but this review is aimed at the majority who will hopefully be just as appalled as we were.
......And don't even mention the food on the plane which is over priced and underwhelming. Take sandwiches!
We would like to cruise again, but are now very wary, so will have to read many reviews before deciding. Less

You can reach John Dotson at 404.271.3030
or call the alternative appointment line at 678.290.6540
John's office hours are 10:15 to 6:15 (last session starting at 5:30) Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday and 8:45 am to 3:30 on Saturday.
John's session fee is 240.00 per 45 – 50 minute session. Psychological testing is 150.00 per assessment.
All initial sessions are double sessions (90 minutes total) to allow the therapist sufficient time to gather necessary information for diagnostic and treatment planning purposes. You are not obligated to attend both initial sessions but please inform John if you will only be attending a single initial session. Thank you.
Sessions typically last 45 – 50 minutes and are usually conducted once per week.
Depending upon the needs of the client, some issues require multiple back-to-back sessions and/or more frequent sessions. The frequency and duration of sessions will always be discussed as therapy proceeds.
John will email, at the email address you provide, important documents prior to the first session that must be completed and returned in order to confirm the initial session. Each adult involved in counseling must complete all paperwork prior to the first appointment.
Professional Counseling Associates is a fee-for-service provider and does not accept insurance.
Most insurance plans, though, pay "out-of-network" benefits that reimburse patients for a portion, if not all, of the therapist's fees. Some plans even include a "preferred provider" benefit meaning you are free to utilize the health provider of your choice.
This information is available by calling the mental-health-benefits phone number on the back of your insurance card. Some plans require pre-authorization prior to the appointment.
PCA provides a receipt containing the necessary diagnostic and medical procedural code for each session that you file with your insurance company to receive allowable reimbursement. Counseling with PCA may qualify for payment through a Flexible Spending Account or Health Savings Account using pre-tax income.
Reduced Rates
Because PCA does not receive charitable donations or external funding, we are generally unable to offer reduced rates. In some situations your therapist may be able to offer you a reduced rate. However, such offerings are limited and done on a case-by-case basis according to the discretion and circumstances of each individual therapist.
As with any medical practice, payment is due at the time of service. Cash, checks, Visa, American Express, MasterCard, and Discover credit cards are accepted.

Different people have different ideas of what bright and dark is. Here is what I think .....
DT880 is brighter than neutral - so is Q701/K701/K702 etc
Grados are bright
HD600 is not bright to me - I would say it is almost completely natural sounding. If anything the highs are polite - rather than bright.
To me the HD650 are darker than neutral. So is the Mad Dog V3.2.
I haven't heard the M&M - but a lot of people called the Arrow (portable) flat (neutral) to slightly bright. I loved the Arrow with the HD600s.
With the HD600 - my Audio-gd NFB-12 is supposed to be a touch on the warmer side of neutral (I call it full bodied - go figure). It's nice with the Senns. A neutral amp like the Arrow is also great with the Senns. I would say that the M&M - even if they are slightly brighter than neutral will still be good with the Senns.
I really can't see it being "painful" unless you are completely treble sensitive. Anything you can give us as a reference to your sensitivity to high frequencies?

A scenic cross-country tour without much substance, writer-director-star Drew Denny's debut feature "The Most Fun I've Ever Had With My Pants On" follows two young women from the California desert to West Texas as they scatter a parent's ashes.
A scenic cross-country tour without much substance, writer-director-star Drew Denny's debut feature, "The Most Fun I've Ever Had With My Pants On," follows two young women from the California desert to West Texas as they scatter a parent's ashes. En route, Will Basanta's lensing maximizes the impact of some gorgeous landscapes, but the humans in them remain underdeveloped, with best friends goofing around less engaging than the pic imagines, and not enough character insight to ballast more serious moments. Further fest play is assured, particularly within spotlights on new and women directors; in commercial terms, however, prospects are minor.
Pals at least since high school a decade or so earlier, Andy (Denny) and Liv (Sarah Hagan) have reunited to honor a request by Andy's just-deceased father to leave his ashes in various parklands along a designated route. Andy's flippant attitude often seems to make a mockery of this task, though eventually we glean that her tendency to laugh at everything and anything is a mechanism to, you know, hide the pain. More straightlaced Liv, an actress, is primarily worried about a big audition she'll have once they get to Austin. Along the road, the duo indulge in a lot of childish behavior (like shoplifting from a rural store), toy with same-sex attraction, and make a great deal of small talk that seldom gets around to anything truly revealing — about themselves, their friendship, their separate lives or the parents they have murky issues with. With Andy as the mildly bad girl, and Liv as the good one, their pranks, role plays and spats may charm some viewers — particularly those who can stomach a high, nasal "widdle girl" voice like Hagan's — but will leave others cold. That personal appeal is crucial, because "Most Fun" doesn't have a great deal else going on. The only way to know the pic is based on Denny's own experiences with her late father is to check its website; the usual assertiveness and definition of autobiography is lacking from this vague seriocomic amble to nowhere. The result is watchable enough, but feels too insular and coyly evasive; afinal red herring is particularly frustrating. Denny shows enough ease behind and in front of the camera to suggest better things to come. A woman who's evidently worn many hats in life already, she also contributes several wispy, folk-pop songs to the soundtrack. Assembly is smooth, with Basanta's location shooting the standout contribution.The Most Fun I've Ever Had With My Pants On

Written by: McCartney
Recorded: 24, 28 January 1969
Engineer: Glyn Johns
Released: 28 October 1996
Paul McCartney: vocals, acoustic guitar
John Lennon: vocals
George Harrison: lead guitar
Ringo Starr: drums
Available on:
Anthology 3
Although destined for Paul McCartney's début solo album in 1970, Teddy Boy was recorded on two occasions by The Beatles during the Get Back sessions in January 1969.
McCartney began writing the song in 1968 in Rishikesh, India, although it was completed upon his return to Britain. A light-hearted - and musically lightweight - tale of a boy whose mother tells him about his soldier father, Teddy Boy was clearly disliked by John Lennon, who sabotaged McCartney's early attempts to teach it to the group.
McCartney eventually recorded Teddy Boy for his debut solo album. He recorded the basic track on his four-track home studio in late 1969 or early 1970, with further overdubs added at Morgan Studios in February 1970.
In the studio
The Beatles recorded six versions of Teddy Boy on 24 January 1969, although a brief snippet of the song had been played two weeks before at Twickenham Film Studios.
One of the versions from this day, lasting nearly six minutes, was mixed by Glyn Johns for the aborted Get Back album. When Teddy Boy eventually surfaced on Anthology 3, however, it was an edited version comprising parts of this version and another from 28 January.
We've now put together a version, an edit of one of the takes of us trying it, which sounds interesting. You can hear on it that the band wasn't very interested in it. I don't know why. Maybe I hadn't finished it enough or something. Maybe it was just tension coming in. The bit I'd like to keep actually was John sort of making fun of it. He starts towards the end of it, going, 'Grab your partners, do-si-do,' so we've kept that on. And while it was, in some way, indicative of friction, it was good-humoured friction.
McCartney revived the song on 28 January, taking The Beatles through a further two attempts. The longer of the two was used for the first part of the Anthology 3 edit.
Another version of Teddy Boy was recorded the towards the end of the following day's session, after The Beatles had performed a number of rock 'n' roll oldies, McCartney chose to lead the group into a final rehearsal. This arrangement was more rock-oriented, in contrast to the acoustic-based earlier attempts.
On 31 January, during final filming for the Let It Be movie, director Michael Lindsay-Hogg runs through a potential list of songs to include. He suggests filming the group playing Teddy Boy, although is promptly disabused of the notion by a regretful McCartney.
Teddy Boy is actually... that's as far as it's gonna get. I thought maybe we can come back after a week or something...
But there was no return to the Get Back project. The Beatles gladly moved on to new recordings, and never again attempted Teddy Boy.
On 10 March Glyn Johns made a stereo mix of a 24 January performance of the song, considering it a potential contender for the Get Back LP.
Phil Spector also mixed the song. He evidently thought it suitable for the Let It Be album, although it was never used. On 25 March 1970 Spector made two stereo mixes: the first was faithful to the 25 January recording; the other was an edited version lasting 3'10".

any help?
Hi guys,
I have a hard+soft modded wii running 4.1J and I'm trying to play a Skylanders Spyro back up on it. We may be getting the Giants game too, but not til Santa swings on by.
All my software, GX loader etc was last updated probably more than a year ago, I got it working for the kids and left it alone, making the occasional backup when required perhaps. We use GX loader Was offline most that time since the kids never use the net features or online play but it's hooked up to the network atm.
I tried installing the hermes 233 37+38 using cIOS installer v222 v 4. But the game still isn't working. Should I stay with 4.1J or do I need to update for some reason? Do I need to update GX loader and everything else too? Should I just do a complete rehack, try to start from scratch and roll through the guide again?
Any advice appreciated
Edit - My GX loader is using the WBFS format, again it was set up ages ago. Not sure if this complicates things. I'd rather a quick fix just to get this game up and running, as everything else is working fine, than to spend the time completely updating everything, if it can be avoided
Redo this guide from start to end and you should be ready to go.Quote:

The closest I've come to getting The Home Brew Channel is viewing the greenish icon on the SD card menu, but when I try to copy it to WII system memory it will not copy over.
My WII version is 4.1E, could I try other methods like Letterbomb, because Banner Bomb isn't doing nothing.
May be a bad SD card. Use a new 1~2GB card , redo banner bomb.
You don't have the privilege to run LetterBomb at 4.1 ; but you can update to 4.3 then use LetterBomb , follow this Guide to complete the MOD and to downgrade to 4.1 at wish. Personally I like this way, life is much easier ! Lol
is this guide gonna be updated with the new hackmii installer?
Not anytime soon. As I understand it, the changes are all WiiU specific and they are working out some specific Wii-related bugs. We take a pretty conservative approach here most of the time; the guide is only updated when the staff here has played with new stuff & blessed it. Which means that the guide may be a little behind the cutting edge (in this case it doesnt matter one iota) but what's in it will WORK.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The father of a Cherokee Indian girl mired in an adoption dispute has been given permission to leave an Iowa National Guard base and return to Oklahoma to attend a hearing.
Oklahoma National Guard spokesman Col. Max Moss said Sunday that Dusten Brown asked for clearance to return Oklahoma to tend to the custody matter.
Brown is charged with custodial interference involving his 3-year-old daughter. A South Carolina couple has been trying to adopt the girl, named Veronica.
The issue has been clouded by federal law favoring the girl living with her father.
A South Carolina judge finalized the couple's adoption and approved a plan to reintroduce Veronica to the couple. Brown didn't show up for an Aug. 4 gathering, prompting the charge.

A few readers told us it took some dedication to get on the list for rebates to help pay to build a safe room. Here's the story we wrote about last month. One Robson Ranch resident reports that he was able to get on the list at about 1 a.m. the day it went online.
So, we weren't surprised to learn that the North Central Texas Council of Governments announced a new wait list. If you already submitted for the rebate program, you're already on the wait list, according to this press release: NCTSRRP_PRESS RELEASE_6.19
If not, Denton County residents have a chance to get in line again on Sunday. The website is www.nctsaferoom.com and registration for the wait list opens to Denton County residents at 8 a.m. Sunday.
