Hasidic Enclave Keeps Its Secrets Amid Elusive Rebbe's Tight Control
A profile of New Square, the small and insular village in upstate New York, and its rebbe, David Twersky, who exerts extreme control over his followers. Winner of 2015 Ippies Award, and nominated for a 2015 reporting newspaper award from The Deadline Club.
Lipa Schmeltzer is a Hasidic pop star, but he's also a student at Columbia University. And his path there wasn't an easy one given his lack of a secular education. Raised in the insular village of New Square, Lipa faced insurmountable challenges to achieve stardom and academic success. Listen to my story for PRI's The World.
A personal essay on how I — a Satmar Hasidic woman with a non-accredited high school diploma whose proud achievement in life, aside from producing and raising two beautiful children, was being a great balebuste, or housewife — landed at artsy-fartsy Sarah Lawrence College.
Tens of thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews joined together in a rally in Manhattan to protest Israel's efforts to draft haredim. But, not everyone was on the same page.
A Mother's Day tribute to my mom, or mamme, the stoic woman who birthed and raised twelve children and is the inspiration for much in my life.
I was 23 years old when I first started to drive. It's not that I was afraid; I wasn't allowed. Because I'm a woman. Listen to my radio story for PRI's The World .
My response to the documentary One of Us, a film that follows three individuals seeking to leave their Hasidic communities. The film is a searing indictment, not of a community and its flock, but of an indoctrination that is so vast and so deeply ingrained in a peoples' mindset that nothing — not even a mother's right to her own flesh and blood — can override it.
A review of "All Who Go Do Not Return," a raw and riveting memoir by Shulem Deen. The book details Deen's loss of faith, how he left the insular Hasidic community of New Square, and how, in the process of transitioning, he lost the hearts of his five children to the cunning of the community.
For most Americans, a solid high school education is a stepping stone to college. But Hasidic boys and girls who choose to pursue a higher degree do not have this foundation to build on. Listen to this audio documentary, originally produced for The Forward, about individuals who took the leap from a rudimentary Hasidic education to college.
A profile of a well-known con artist who presents himself as an Orthodox Jew, and has been ID'd by more than a dozen Orthodox victims. They say he tricked them into giving him money with tales of woe.
An essay on shaving my head as a Hasidic woman. "The morning after my wedding, three months after my 18th birthday, my mother shaved my head, and I felt absolutely nothing. Was I supposed to feel sad at this loss? Was I supposed to feel violated? I did not. "
You can tell a lot about a Jewish male by the type of yarmulke, also referred to as kippah, that he wears. In an effort to demystify the yarmulke, here is a basic guideline to the current yarmulke trends, with a focus on Orthodox Jewish men in America.
You can tell a lot about an Orthodox woman by the type of wig or other head covering she wears. In an effort to demystify the sheitel (wig), here is a list (a taxonomy, if you will) of the various wigs American Orthodox women wear, and what each head covering signifies about the woman's family and community affiliations.
An audio mockumentary on Kallah/Chosson teachers, an integral part of sex education and marriage in ultra-Orthodox and Hasidic Jewish cultures. Because the sexes are strictly segregated, these teachers are THE sex educators - teaching young brides and grooms about the birds and the bees.
My coverage of one of the most high-profile cases in Rockland County: A Hasidic man from New Square was accused of sexually molesting a young boy from the age of eight until shortly after his bar mitzvah. The man was acquitted.

Dr. Leonard Umanoff, DDS offers Porcelain Crowns in As Little as One Visit.
Brooklyn, NY (PRWEB) May 07, 2015
Over a lifetime, most people will end up replacing at least one tooth. A broken tooth or a failing crown usually means a couple of trips to the dentist. Multiple trips to the dentist result in more needle pokes to the gums, followed by the wear of a sensitive temporary crown while the new crown is fabricated. In addition, it takes time to schedule needed appointments. Nobody wants to spend more time than necessary. In the dental chair, Dr. Leonard Umanoff, DDS uses the CEREC system for the ceramic crowns and veneers. The CEREC system requires a single visit to the doctor's office.
CEREC is an acronym that can be translated into two different meanings. The initials stand for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, or Ceramic Reconstruction. CEREC is the use of a computer-aided drafting and manufacturing to create crowns and veneers, opposed to manually grinding and polishing crowns by hand in a laboratory.
Thanks to CEREC, Dr. Umanoff's patients require only one visit for a new crown or veneer, in most cases. The CEREC system allows Dr. Umanoff to take impressions and measurements of the tooth with the special camera. The data and images from the camera are then loaded into the computer, which maps out a digital model for the crown and veneer.
After the digital crown model is ready, the CEREC system mills and polishes the patient's crown or veneer. Dr. Umanoff has the entire CEREC system in his office, his patients may sit and relax in the waiting room for the duration of time it takes to the to fabricate the crown. Compared to the traditional way, CEREC crowns are much more convenient.
Before CEREC, patients who needed crowns or veneers would have to go through a messy impressions of their teeth, which were sent to a laboratory where a model would be made. At the dental laboratory the crown would be ground out of a piece of porcelain or metal, before being sent back to the doctor's office, so the patient would have to return for their second appointment.
Dr. Umanoff recognizes the importance of the comfort as well as the convenience for his patients and their necessary dental work. The CEREC system offers the best of both worlds. Patients of Dr. Umanoff can leave the office with a brand-new crown or veneer after a single office visit.
Dr. Umanoff has been practicing dentistry in the Sheepshead Bay neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY since 2001. He studied dentistry in Moscow before moving to the United States and becoming a dentist. In addition to using CEREC technology, Dr. Umanoff is a lifetime student of dentistry and is committed to using the best technology for the comfort of his patients.
About Dr. Umanoff, DDS
Dr. Leonard Umanoff, DDS, has over 15 years experience providing dental care. Using the latest advancements in dental technology, Dr. Umanoff protects the smiles of his patients and offers advice to promote the oral health of his patients. Dr. Umanoff became a doctor at the Moscow Medical-Stomatological Institute, and followed up by emigrating to the U.S. and receiving his Doctor of Dental Surgery at New York College of Dentistry. Dr. Umanoff opened his practice in the Sheepshead Bay neighborhood of Brooklyn in 2001.

XBox 360 Error 51-C00DF236 Fixed [Play Videos Offline]
The Annoying Introduction
If you've found this entry from a search engine, you're probably at your wits end with trying to solve this issue. You're trying to play a video file on your XBox 360, but it won't let you watch it unless you're signed on to XBox Live.
You attempt to play the video, but unless you're signed on to XBox Live, you get a message saying you need to download an update in order for the video to play; an update that you've already (countless times) downloaded. Well, that's not exactly the problem. In fact, that's not the problem at all.
This all has to do with Microsoft's annoying DRM (Digital Rights Management) practices. I'll give you my story, and I'm willing to bet yours is similar. I got my first XBox 360 about 4 years ago. It finally died on me a couple months ago. Obviously, a 4 year-old XBox is not under warrantee any longer. So, I went out and bought another one. Kept my hard drive and stuck it on my new XBox.
Now, Microsoft's sneaky little trick is that they only allow your videos to be played on the original XBox that you set your gamertag up on. Let's call my original XBox that I purchased 4 years ago "XBox A," and my new XBox will be called "XBox B." Each XBox has a unique "Console ID" number. A long string of numbers uniquely identifying your particular XBox.
Because I initially set up my gamertag on XBox A, when I attempted to play videos on XBox B, Microsoft realized that I was playing videos on an "Unauthorized" XBox that I had not originally set my gamertag up on. So, obviously they had to weasel their way into my life and keep me from watching videos in a convenient manner – meaning I had to be signed in to XBox Live in order to watch anything.
That's not to say there isn't a fix, because there is. And here's how to do it…
The Solution
Microsoft has a site where you can "Transfer Content Licenses to a New Console." It'd be nice if something like this was mentioned on the XBox error message. It could possibly save a lot of anger and frustration.
From this site, you get all the instructions on how to transfer your "license" to watch your own videos on your own XBox! So much for "Digital Rights." More like Digital TYRANNY! No wonder torrent sites are so popular. All of the content with none of the restrictions.
Anyway, that's the fix. You have to go to that site and transfer your license to your new XBox.
Hope this helps!
Monday June 8, 2009 at 1:01 AM
l found your article "XBox 360 Error 51-C00DF236 Fixed [Play Videos Offline]" today just when l was "at my wits end"
l followed your straight forward instructions and l am now back to the land of movies!! thank you for the simple advice, it seems xbox isnt able to supply simple advise…
Wednesday June 17, 2009 at 12:12 AM
Ha ha I guess that explains it. I always wondered why I needed to constantly download the "update" but it was never a problem until today when Live has been down all day and I haven't been able to watch any videos. Thanks for the solution, I'm gunna go try it now.
Wednesday June 17, 2009 at 5:21 PM
Any suggestions for my issue: I have 100s of videos I created by transcodeing my DVD collection into .mov and .mkv and .avi files. I have 'em all on an external HD connected to the USB port on my Xbox360. I only have issues playing them back when disconnected from xbox live. Since i didn't buy them from microsoft there's no license.
I email microsoft, who promply ignored my message and sent a form letter back. Any suggestions other than buy an apple TV and mail a copy of the recepit to Redmund?
Tuesday July 7, 2009 at 12:06 AM
Thanks very much for this info. I had a feeling it had to do with whatever profile the update was installed with, but I didn't know the reasoning behind it.
Tuesday July 21, 2009 at 4:42 PM
Brilliant, totally fixed the problem. Thanks :-)
Sunday August 9, 2009 at 6:20 AM
Just transferred content licenses to new xbox, followed instructions to redownload files, had nothing about media player license, still cannot play avi files when offline. Is there an amount of time i need to wait for licenses to transfer????
Sunday August 16, 2009 at 5:19 AM
I have the same problem as Dan. I followed the steps and have plenty of games to download again but nothing in the video section. I am also playing movies off of my external HD. Hmmm, is there a way around this at all?
Saturday August 22, 2009 at 7:01 PM
You sir, are a legend. I have been struggling with this issue for over a year, and now it's fixed. Thank you.
Sunday August 23, 2009 at 10:21 PM
Thanks for that fix, that problem was pretty annoying. That's an annoying move by Microsoft.
Sunday August 30, 2009 at 5:35 PM
Thank you so much, seriously been getting bugged by that as microsoft said the licenses were transfered when my console was replaced….. turned out to be a blatant lie, thanks for solving the problem :-)
Sunday August 30, 2009 at 9:38 PM
If you want to play xvids offline for non-ms video's just make a new live account and delete the old OMU. Then re-d/l it with the newly created account and BAM they will work offline. I had to do this as I have no internet and wanted to enjoy XVIDS.
Monday August 31, 2009 at 6:29 AM
Hey! Seems you've made a lot of people's days here but mine.I have a the exact same issue with my 360, the only difference in my case is I NEVER ONCE swapped my xbox. It never broke down, never got repaired, nada. So why in a witch's tit would they start breaking MY balls with this crap? I've downloaded the update and everything, to my original box, on which all of my accounts were ORIGINALLY created, so what might have happened here?
The funny part is it worked fine up until one day when it started showing the 51-C00DF236-code, which is really kind of creepy because I never even connected the internet-cable between the working days and the 51-C00DF236-days. Do they have little evil catterpillar-usb-robots that sneak in to my house, rape my port and squirt all kinds of annoying DRM-STD's into my xbox or what?
Thanks in advance!
Sunday April 18, 2010 at 1:12 PM
To answer your question as simply as I can… just go back to your media player and remove sharing access then uninstall media player and reinstall, turn sharing on your player then go back and reassign your movie files to search in media player.. after a while you can return to your xbox and through the video files wiola…hope it helps i can walk you through if u didn't get it but enjoy Ijust figured something needed to be said
Tuesday November 3, 2009 at 4:17 PM
I never understood why I had to be connected tot Xbox Live to watch my Avi's. It just didn't make sense, untill I read your post here. This is my 3rd Xbox and now I understand that my licenses are spread between 3 console id's. I followed your instruction and finally I can watch my Avi's even when my Xbox doesn't want to connect to Xbox Live.
Thank you so much for your help! You have saved me from this ongoing frustration.
Wednesday November 4, 2009 at 1:02 PM
I had the same issue. My Xbox 360 was replaced under the 3-year 3 flashing lights warranty. But I could not play avi or mp4 files without being connected to XboxLive. The solution was in a letter from Microsoft, included with the replacement Xbox 360. Sign into XboxLive, enter the gametag and select "Manage Account" and then "Download History". One of the items in the History should be "Optional Media Update". Just do "Download Again". This will restore your license and you will be back to normal, watching movies on your Xbox 360 as before.
Thursday November 5, 2009 at 11:35 PM
What if the console was the original? I've never replaced my console before. This is my first elite and I'm trying to play my external drive but it gives me this error. What should I do.
Monday November 23, 2009 at 6:41 PM
I am having a similar issue. I always used to be able to stream movies i had on the hard drive of my computer to my xbox via the router, my xbox has always been connected to the internet, i haved never disconnected my xbox, the only thing i have done, is change from a silver to a gold account on live. I can still view the files on the xbox but when i try to play them, this seriously annoying message comes up telling me to download this update, which i already have! this happens with all codecs, divx, xvid etc. This also happened when i plugged a usb stick into the xbox. I used to be able to play them, i changed nothing, now i cant! aaarrrgggghhhhh please help!
Friday November 27, 2009 at 9:49 PM
I have never connected to xbox live and do not plan on it how do i get this same problem handled. i copy my movies in avi to a dvd disc and would like to play them. I am on my 3rd xbox 360. Thanks for any help
Friday December 4, 2009 at 11:03 AM
Thank you very much ! :D
I did this on my second xbox and it worked succesfully.
Now I can watch divX movies from my memory stick ;)
Wednesday December 9, 2009 at 3:00 PM
OMG thank you so much created new account and can now play vids offline…that was getting stupid…thanks rrod for the headache
Saturday December 12, 2009 at 9:14 PM
None of these tricks work. M$ has decided you cannot be allowed to watch videos without their approval.
Monday December 14, 2009 at 11:55 PM
I had the same problems as above and tried the license transfer, which im sorry to say didn't work. I did however find an answer! I stumbled across some info on xbox forums. What you do is create a new "dummy silver live account". Then you download the optional media update AGAIN on this newly created live account. What this does is actually put a new license on your console. I know it sounds kinda dumb, which is what I thought at first, but i didnt when it worked. i am now watching xvid movies OFFLINE. Hope this helps. This problem was a headache for me.
Monday February 1, 2010 at 3:49 AM
Yes, for those of you who still have problems viewing downloaded AVI's and Mpeg's off of an external hard drive, refer to this!!!!!
Also, after you create a new silver account, simply select any video off your hard drive, and then accept the prompt to download the media update again…
After you download it again, sign out of xbox live and attempt to play the video.. Blam!! INSTA VIDEO!!!
Monday January 3, 2011 at 2:38 AM
thank you so much, ive been trying to figure this one out forever! this one actually works!
Wednesday January 6, 2010 at 8:26 AM
Do I need to connect my XBOX to the PC before i clicked "Start the license transfer process now." link on that page? as I keep getting this message "
Can't Transfer Licenses
There are no content licenses associated with this account. To transfer your content licenses, sign in to Xbox.com with the account you used to purchase your content."
Please help thanks
Wednesday January 6, 2010 at 4:09 PM
i dont have live or any other connection relating at all between my xbox and computer therefore i cant even attempt (tried and failed sadly) the license thing. all i want to do is watch movies from my ipod classic and 2GB usb drive but i get the message saying i have to sign into live (dont have it and never will) and play content again status code 51-C00DF236 or something like that. please help i am ready to sell the system all together and move to alaska or something. maybe i can buy an update in disk form or something from gamestop.
Tuesday February 9, 2010 at 6:30 PM
wow, we r both on the same boat, did u get to fix the problem?? :( i reallly need to kno how to get past tht stupid code without live so i can watch my movies again
Wednesday February 10, 2010 at 12:40 AM
I would suggest transcoding media… or taking your xbox to a friends house who has the net and setting up a live account while you are there and doing the license transfer.
if you have an open ethernet port on your computer, you can use internet connection sharing.. your xbox can connect to the net THRU the pc if its setup correctly, just long enough to setup live and do the license transfer.
btw, i have a few posts here as Wayne, and I fixed my issue by deletiung the system/video bookmark data on the console in settings, and creating a new profile on live and running the media update again.. the license xfer never worked for me seeing as i'm still on my original console i didn't think it would.
now i'm using transcode 360 onn my computer to send all videos to the xbox using wmv format anyway, so even if i hadn't fixed the problem it would play them natively. but there are all sorts of programs to change the codec used by the movie. hope this helps!
Tuesday January 19, 2010 at 5:56 PM
Yeah. I am still on my first xbox. after years of watching the same movies, this appeardd a few days ago. No matter what codec, nada. I do not normally connect to live to play movies. However, it's forcing me to. Mind you, some of these avi's are the same ones i could play offline two years ago without this message showing. Now for whatever reasonb in the past few days this has changed.
I signed into live and it updated my console (presumably the fall 2009 dashboard update) as soon as I signed in and i now also have Zune, when I go to m yxbox and want to stream movies from my pc. I remember having to delete a "DRM" folder in the past on XP to get this to work… maybe I'll try it again..
Any idea why this just popped up on ME when it had been working so well on this very profile/xbox/media files/configuration/internet connection/everything else?
Microsoft is really beginning to make me want to throw this thing in thje trash and get a ps3, appletv, etc, or hack it and put something more 'capable' and userfriendly on it. PLEASEEE SOMEONE HELP!
Tuesday January 19, 2010 at 6:12 PM
i did this process and transferred the license… from my old console right back to itself and I STILL cannot play xvid offline ugh… i guess i'll make a new account and try it that way as suggested above. i call xbox but they barely speak english and are very useless as far as ACTUAL help goes. i spend time explaining, and they never fix it or offer any useful advice. this page has been far more helpoful than their talking in a big dumb circle EVER could be.
thanks anyway, if anyone has more ideas post a reply here, it will email me back.
THANKS! pls :)
Wednesday January 20, 2010 at 6:48 PM
still didn't do it when creating a new profile on the same old xbox. after downloading the media update, running a video which plays signed into to live, and then turning off xbox and trying to play, it wants me to sign into xbox live to get a media update. i have tried everything mentioned here. if anyone has more ideas, lemme know. i've set it to mail me. TYVM!
Saturday January 23, 2010 at 5:16 AM
the player works now, after fllowing the advice to create a new profile and download/play the media update. i no longer have to be signed in. maybe for some people the profile fix works but i'd suggest creating a new profile entirely, which will reapply the update to the xbox and relicense it's player.
i'm still having other issues, such as having to run zunes sharing srvc AND media players sharing srvc AND convert some types of videos in addition to using still other thru vistas media center as if one does not play the file, the other *Might*. if all else fails transcoding is the only option.
i find the xbox 360 is becoming fairly useless to me as an electronic device and much more of a hassle. i was contemplating throwing it through the window the other night but didn't. i instead decided to buy a ps3 and if the ps3 is more compatible with my collection without running 3 services to share a few videos and transcoding, i will sell the xbox.
microsoft needs to wake up and add more formats of video to the xbox. i do not play games on it, only stream video. if it doesn't do that, i think it's an expensive paperweight that will soon be obsolete. no browser, nothing useful, to me anyway. if you play games, sure. but it doesn't even do that as well as the ps3, with it's multicore cpu, bluray player, built in wireless connection and much larger hdd's.
enough ranting. please advise if you know of any hacks to flash the xbox with a media only operating system, ie video player/file sharer/music player/web browser. tyvm for the help!
Monday January 25, 2010 at 2:10 PM
I have solved the offline problems you are all having with playing your movies and not having the right codec for them…firs all you need to do is download any video converer http://www.any-video-converter.com/products/for_video_free/ once you do this you can convert any video from your pc into a wmv. file and save it to a usb drive large enough to hold the file….stick the usb drive in your xbox and play from storage device in the video library page…..have fun with this…
Monday January 25, 2010 at 10:31 PM
My xbox is second hand – so how do i transfer the profile liscence over?
I don't even know what the original owner used?
Can i wipe my xbox somehow and create a new profile liscence from scratch?
Friday January 29, 2010 at 12:19 PM
same problem here..
Tuesday January 26, 2010 at 4:02 AM
Wow, I was nearing the end of my wits, and stumbled on this site just before giving up. It worked perfectly and I've shared it with my brother who's also on his second console and suffering xboxliveloginitis caused by drm.
I wanted to thank you, so I searched his url in digg, found an original submission from a year ago, dugg it up and commented.
Thank you sir. You nailed it.
Monday February 8, 2010 at 10:41 PM
Thank you! I was loosing my mind over this, what a simple fix! Thanks!!
Friday February 12, 2010 at 3:58 PM
Oh my Gosh! Thank You SOOO Much! I was really going crazy for a while as my live connection was acting up all day today. I had actually been dealing with this major annoyance for the last 6 or so months. I can finally watch videos again without having to be constantly signed into Live.
Tuesday February 16, 2010 at 10:43 PM
I have a modded xbox, i do not want to play on xbox live or anything, how can i get around this issues?? is there no firmware flash? or dash upgrade that will get past this? it sounds to me that you all have a legit xbox, but lots of us have 360's just as a media station to play movies, any help?
Thursday February 18, 2010 at 12:41 AM
Sell the modded 360 and replace it with an xbmc original xbox. i'm so sick of this 360 and i use it just like you Lukasz, for movies only. and it just keeps getting more useless every day.
another idea is use transcode 360 and set it to ALWAYS TRANSCODE into wmv format.. if all else fails the 360 will natively play wmv files..
if you figured out how to mod you can use transcode 360 in a snap, it's so easy. just setup your sharing folders, add youtube and hulu channels you like (if ya want, there is also other online media you can add, pretty much any type of online media!) and it will play everything. flv, mov, avis that wont normally play, mp4, m4v, etc.. it's so much better that way.
i was ready to toss the xbox until i found transcode 360, it saved the shitbox's life!
Monday February 22, 2010 at 4:55 AM
Thanks very much for the explanation. I'm on my 4th Xbox now and the license transfer page showed I had licenses here there and everywhere. All been transferred to my current 360 (and hopefully last) and it worked straight away. Looking at the comments I think a few people are getting confused when the website says 'go to setting > account management > previous downloads and redownload files', you do NOT need to do this to get the media update working offline, just transfer the licenses, sign off and it should work fine.
Wednesday March 3, 2010 at 11:39 PM
Thanks bro. Helped me out. FOr some reason, Divx couldn't play, even though WMV could. Transferred my shit and now it works perfect. Thanks
Sunday March 7, 2010 at 12:22 PM
I've had nothing but problems with my XBOX and its greedy arrogant manufacturer. I've finally come up with the only solution that works. I've taken the XBOX and thrown it from the 22nd floor apartment onto the top of the car park below me. Then, just to make sure, I've driven a stake through its heart while wearing a crucifix around my neck, and then burned it and scattered the ashes in all four different directions, while chanting Indian funeral rites. Hopefully that evil shitbox will stay dead.

I found this brief article very straight forward and easy to follow. Unfortunately it did not solve my problem. Why? not because the article had flaws, but because Microsoft does NOT allow you to perform this "license tranfer" crap more than once a year. How do they expect to keep up with the 360 failure occurrences by restricting you to once a year. A am on my 3rd xbox in 4 yrs. The last failure was last Sept, so now I have to wait till then to eleiminate these nuisance steps of signing in every time my kid wants to watch Nemo. These crappy 360's always fail just after the warranty expires. Now I'm stuck not being able to watch movies through my USB drive connected to the xbox unless signed in to XBL. What a pain!

This issue appeared after Microsoft replaced my dead xbox with a new one.
I followed the instructions and found the patch to play divx in the game section. I redownloaded it and it solved the issue. Brilliant. Thanks.
Tuesday April 13, 2010 at 6:27 PM
Didn't work for me. After transferring the license I still get the error message when trying to play an AVI offline. F8ck you Microsoft. Time to get a PS3.
Saturday May 1, 2010 at 6:50 PM

Sunday May 2, 2010 at 3:58 AM
I purchased recently a new xbox 360 elite. When I tried to plug and play movies from my FAT32 HDD this error is popping. Is there any solution to this one without connecting to XBL?I don't have Internet connection in our house. Though, if there is any update that is needed, I can save it in my USB and update my console. Can somebody please help. I've tried to ask Microsoft people but they aren't giving direct solutions. Please help me.
Sunday May 2, 2010 at 12:13 PM
thanks for this – worked a treat!

Thank you so much for this! Out of all the search results for this problem you are the only person to get it right! Amazing. Thanks again!
Tuesday June 1, 2010 at 9:58 AM
i agree with all you have said but i think you are being a little too soft with your comments about microsoft. the fact of the matter is that they are evil scumbags who will not rest until they have raped you of all that you own and have an even tighter grip round the neck of everyone on the planet. why are people still giving them cash? there has been a far superior operating system for use on you pc for years. I implore you people to leave the overpriced, virus filled, sluggish, closed source, useless world of microsoft windows and join the FREE, faster more helpfull, virus free, friendly. open source world of Linux. download ubuntu for free today and stick two fingers up to the nazis i mean microsoft.
Saturday June 5, 2010 at 8:16 PM
Great, tried it and it worked :)
Tuesday June 8, 2010 at 2:48 AM

Monday July 12, 2010 at 11:27 AM
WOW! the WMV format thing worked. all i did was use any video converter to convert almost any format to wmv then i could watch it off a flashdrive no problem. i have an entire movie that works.
Wednesday August 18, 2010 at 10:13 AM
You absolute legend. Well done for finding this – it's been annoying the crap out of me that when my broadband drops out, I can't watch videos. Top notch.
Sunday September 12, 2010 at 2:04 PM
time to get a pop corn hour top box and drop this shitty device that claim to replace a PC and a media center.
Thursday September 23, 2010 at 5:47 PM
Hi we dont have xbox live in our country and i also would like to enjoy divx files from my external drive. Is there any way that this "optional media update" can be loaded other than being connected to xbox live? I cant even download it from http://www.xbox.com it says "this page is not available" my consol does not have marketplace or whatever it is called.
Tuesday October 19, 2010 at 5:24 PM
thank you very much my hard rocking amigo
you have just saved me from smashing an xbox
Tuesday November 16, 2010 at 9:02 AM
I am currently deployed to Kabul Afganistan and I am getting this Error for the first time in 5 months of Xbox 360 usage. My team and I all have personal hard drives that are loaded with movies / tv shows / and anything else you can think of :P, it worked just fine until we bought COD:Black Ops, now we get this error code… our Xbox has never been plugged into the internet since getting here 5 months ago and we have no plans to do so. I've scoured for codec's or updates required to play our vast library with no success. My eyes are bleeding from reading so much >< lol.
– Any thoughts?
Monday November 22, 2010 at 3:59 PM
My xbox360 was working just fine, but some months ago it tried to update automatically, but i couldn't because the hard drive didn't have enought space.
But… i discovered that the stupid thing erase my video codecs!!! Why the update would do that?? Now i cannot conect to xbox live because. Is there any way to get the codecs form somewhere, use a usb an copy in the xbox??
Wednesday December 15, 2010 at 6:53 PM
This didn't work for me. This is damn frustrating.
Friday December 31, 2010 at 12:31 PM
Please can anyone help me? i bought a xbox 360 elite slim 250gb for my sons (age 8 and 11) for christmas. i wanted the larger memory so that i could save their movies and games to the xbox because young kids are not great at keeping up with disks and they get scratched and ruined. i also have a lot of movies that i have downloaded in AVI. I know absolutely nothing about xbox. have never played one. and im not very knowledgable with computers. Can someone please tell me how i can save my sons games and kid movies to their xbox? i dont want to ever use xbox live for gaming or chat or whatever.. but can i buy games from it? or is it easier/cheaper to buy them from game stores or online? What is the point of having a 250gb memory if i cant save anything to it? Please…any info is appreciated.
Saturday January 1, 2011 at 5:42 PM
Thank you so very much for posting this. Had this problem for years. It's all fixed now!!! (Launch 360 died was replaced by a refurb from MS)
Tuesday January 11, 2011 at 8:28 AM
Hi … I am getting this error on my Xbox 360, but I have not previously owned an Xbox.
The update does not seem to download here in South africa.
Do you have any other suggestions?
Wednesday January 19, 2011 at 5:22 AM
I think we are in the same boat. I cannot seem to download that update.
Perhaps it's a DRM thing — kinda like not being able to buy MP3s from Amazon with a SA credit card.
If that is the case then I guess it just reconfirms that Open Source is the way forward and that one should steer clear of closed source gobshytes like MS.
Thursday May 26, 2011 at 9:21 PM
You can download Xbox updates in a pen drive and plug it into the console if you don't have internet access. That's an easy way to circumvent that, probably.
Saturday January 29, 2011 at 3:07 AM
i have a new xbox and i didnt had any xbox before but i still have this problem
Thursday February 17, 2011 at 1:36 PM
i have always had the same xbox, my avi videos from my external HDD always worked, i never used live, until recently when i bought Halo ODST and it came with an update that i had to install in order to play the game. since that update, i cant play my avis and divxs. i no longer have access to a computer and live is not an option. i have tried several things however, i am going to try one last thing. since my xbox played these videos pre-ODST, and fuck that game anyway, i have configured a thumb drive to work as a memory unit for the xbox and i am going to transfer all game saves and profiles from the xbox hard drive to the thumb drive. i am then going to format the xbox harddrive and hope that it deletes all updates except for the original dashboard that played my files once upon a time. who really knows? any suggestions or stories of people in same situation and having done same process with success/failure, please let me know. i might have to chock this one up.
Thursday February 17, 2011 at 10:57 PM
I'm having the same problem but this is still my "Xbox A" I just can't connect to my network.
side note: I first got Xbox live while I lived away and now I moved back home I can't connect to the network. I'm wondering if because my IP address changed my Xbox 360 isn't letting me connect to my new network.
PS: I tried every step I could find short of connecting directly into the modem because it's in my parent's room.
Tuesday February 22, 2011 at 2:08 PM
You are a badass, i was ready to punch Bill Gates in the face
Thursday March 17, 2011 at 5:02 PM
Very good steps, Thank you!
Friday June 10, 2011 at 4:49 PM
Thank you so much. Now why the fuck didn't Microsoft tell us this instead of some generic error code?????????????????????????????????
Sunday June 12, 2011 at 5:36 PM
thanxxx a mill legend microsoft can go die
Friday July 8, 2011 at 2:55 PM
Hi guys, I know how to update and everything, but the only problem is whe playing a video file, it shows the 51-COODF236 code and while singed into xbox live with my silver account, I try to update it update doesn't respond! help will be appreciated
Monday August 8, 2011 at 3:06 AM
OK, all I can say is wow… I would not have thought of this in about 570 million years. Thanks for fixing my problem!
Sunday August 28, 2011 at 12:15 AM
this only works if you u have xbox live account or your xbox is connected to the net how do you fix the problem without xboxlive
Thursday October 6, 2011 at 4:14 PM
I guess I'm slower on some things than others.
Friday October 21, 2011 at 5:49 PM
Wow – stumbled across this and it's exactly what I'm looking for. My 360 sees more use as a media player than anything else these days, and the kids couldn't watch any of their films of my external HDD when our internet connection was faulty for a few days. Great info, thank you!
Wednesday November 30, 2011 at 1:44 AM
I get this error but I have never been online on my xbox. How do you fix this if you don't have an Xbox Live account because you can't connect your xbox to the internet? am I doomed to never watch videos on my xbox because of this?
Tuesday February 28, 2012 at 6:47 PM
You'll have to find a friend/family member with internet access to hook your xbox up to.
Monday June 11, 2012 at 2:58 AM
I could use a hand. Have an old xbox… Tried to play m4v on a flash drive. Works on the new one no problem. So I hauled the old xbox upstairs to update it. Once I downloaded my live account, I was able to download the optional media update… and it played perfectly. Took the xbox back downstairs… Nothing. Need to install update it tells me.
The weird part is that once I took the old xbox BACK up to try to reinstall, it works while signed into xbox live… Works after I've signed out… Even works when the internet cable is removed… But after restarting it will not work again. What am I missing?
Monday March 4, 2013 at 7:55 PM
thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Friday March 22, 2013 at 1:55 AM
thank u so much, i re-licensed the xbox and re-downloaded the optional media update and it worked just fine OFFLINE. thanks again for everyones input and help
Monday April 22, 2013 at 10:43 AM
dude you are my hero. to bad it still didnt work. ill keep trying and see if i cant get it to work but thank you.
Sunday July 26, 2015 at 7:21 PM
Thank you for this important piece of info. Like you said it would be great if it told you about it to save countless hours of anger. Fixed my problem 100% and it was easy. Thanks again.

Atheism, as a "non-belief" has set itself up to be seen as similar to "religion," an irreligion, if you will. This seems an oxymoron to me.
True atheistic belief need only be an individual choice and not promoted. I believe this true of religion, also. Belief is best sought out, not manipulated into.Connecting-to-the-Value-of-Why 2005-2008 ©

The game of poker is played as a series of betting rounds that culminate with the best hand, or the last remaining hand, winning the pot. To understand what constitutes the best poker hand, one must understand the poker hands ranking system. In most versions of poker, the highest ranking hand wins. The exceptions to the rule are versions of poker which are structured specifically to allow the lowest ranking hand to win the pot or at least part of it.
Poker games vary in the number of cards dealt with each player, and in the number of shared "community" cards. However, when it comes to poker hands ranking, the different versions of the game agree with the determination which is the strongest combination of cards. Players from their best possible poker hand by using some (or all) of their "pocket" cards, and some (or all) of the "community" cards. These rankings are good for Texas Hold'em and for Omaha Poker as well.
The starting hands in poker – the two hole cards seen only by each player – have earned popular poker hand nicknames. Check our colorful infographic below to see a full list of poker hands slang terms.
Abbreviations used in the examples below: Ace (A); King (K); Queen (Q); Jack (J); Spades (s); Hearts (h); Clubs (c); Diamonds (d). The hands are listed in rank from highest to lowest.
Cards Royal Flush Royal Flush: The highest possible poker hand is a Straight Flush from 10 up to the ace. Example of a Royal Flush: 10s, Js, Qs, Ks, As
Cards Straight Flush Straight Flush: A Straight Flush is five cards in sequence all being of the same suit. In the case of two players holding a Straight Flush hand, the one with a higher top card would be ranked higher. Example: 7d, 8d, 9d, 10d, Jd. An ace can also be counted as a low card in a 5-4-3-2-A sequence, in which the five is considered the high card. This is the lowest possible Straight Flush.
Four of Kind Four of a Kind: Four cards of the same rank, with suit being irrelevant. Example: Jc, Jd, Jh, Js. If two players have Four of a Kind, also known as "quads", the higher one wins. If two players have the same Four of a Kind, the winner is determined by the "kicker", or 5th card in the hand. The higher "kicker" would determine the winner in that situation.
Full house Full House: Three cards of one rank together with two cards of another rank. When more than one full house is present in a hand, the one with the highest ranking group of three wins. A Full House is also known as a "boat." Example: Qh, Qs, Kd, Kc, Kh. This hand in this example is said to be "kings over queens" or "kings full of queens".
Flush : Five cards of the same suit, but not consecutive. When more than one Flush is involved in a hand, the one with the highest card wins. Example: As, 5s, 7s, 9s, Js. The Flush in this example is "ace high" and it would beat a flush with the king of spades as its highest card. If both Flushes have the same highest card, then the second highest card is compared. If necessary, the third highest is compared, or the fourth-highest.
Cards Straight-Straight: Five cards in sequence, but not of the same suit. When more than one Straight is involved in a hand, the one with the highest card wins. Example: 8, 9, 10, J, Q; the suit is irrelevant. An ace can be taken as either high or low (but not both high and low in the same hand). The lowest possible Straight is 5, 4, 3, 2, A, which is also known as the "wheel".
Three of Kind Three of a Kind: Three cards of the same rank, with two other unequal cards. Also known as "triplets" or "trips". Example: Kh, Kd, Kc. In the event of two hands with Three of a Kind, the higher Three of a Kind wins. If both hands have the same Three of a Kind, the hand with the highest side card, or if necessary, the second-highest side card wins.
Pairs Two Pair: Any two cards of a matching rank together with two cards of another matching rank. If two hands have Two Pairs each, the hand with the highest pair wins. When more than one hand has two pairs of the same rank, the hand with the highest card outside the paired cards (the "kicker") wins. Example: Jc, Jh, Qs, Qd
One pair One Pair: Two cards of the same rank. In case two hands have One Pair, the highest pair wins. When more than one hand has a pair of the same rank, the hand with the highest card outside the pair wins. Example: 10c, 10s
Highest High Card: When players have none of the above combinations, the hand with the highest card wins. The highest High Card is an ace. If two hands have the same High Card, the hand with the highest side card wins. If necessary, the third card in each is compared, and so on. Example: 4h, 6c, 8s, 10d, Qh. In this example, the High Card is the queen.
The above table represents examples of standard poker hands ranking. If you're playing a home game and throw in a wild card or two, you'll have to come up with another poker hands ranking table. Does five of a kind beat a royal flush when you play with wild cards? The possibilities are endless. Let's stick to standard poker play for now.
Poker Hands Nicknames
Many starting hands in poker have earned for themselves nicknames, however, no one sitting at the table is ever going to declare, "I just got pocket rockets" when the cards are dealt. The various card combinations have forged for themselves popular poker nicknames that have become part of the lingo of the game, even if the nicknames are only said out loud by commentators and spectators after a hand has finished. Take a look at poker infographic and our list of poker hands slang terms and let us know if we missed your favorites.
Poker Hands Slang TermsStarting Poker Hands Slang Terms
Copy & Paste this Infographic in your site:
AA = Pocket Rockets/Bullets = Pocket rockets are the best possible Texas Hold'em Poker starting hand. The origin of the name comes from the fact that the aces look like rockets.
AK = Big Slick = The hole cards ace and king are called Big Slick, as it is a slippery hand on which one could lose a fortune. Also known as Anna Kournikova = looks good but never wins.
AT = A Team = Sometimes called "Johnny Moss" as the 1970s professional poker player reportedly began playing the game at the age of ten.
KK = Cowboys = The origin of this nickname is not clear, but could be because cowboys played poker. Also called "ace magnets" because they frequently attract aces.
KQ = Marriage = Nicknames are usually romantic in nature, including "Royal Couple", "Valentine's Day" (if both cards are hearts), and the Spanish rulers "Ferdinand and Isabella".
K9 = Canine = These cards sound like "canine", leading to many other dog-related nicknames, including Fido, Mongrel, Mutt, Pedigree, and Rin Tin Tin.
QQ = Ladies / Dames = Queens are the only female cards in the deck. Queens tend to have derogatory names, like "Bitches", especially when they lose.
JJ = Hooks = A pair of jacks are called "fishhooks" because they look like them and because fish players often lose out to overpairs.
J9 = T.J Cloutier = Named for professional poker player T.J. Cloutier who flopped three straight flushes with these cards in one year.
J4 = Flat Tire = Why flat tire? What's a jack for?
TT = Dimes = Dimes are the U.S. coin worth ten cents. This pocket card combination is sometimes known as "Dynamite" due to the fact that it sounds like the explosive TNT.
T2 = Doyle Brunson = Doyle "Texas Dolly" Brunson won back-to-back WSOP Main Events in 1976 and 1977 using turning these hole cards into full houses.
88 = Snowmen = The shape of the number eight led to its look-alike nicknames, including "Snowmen", "Pretzels", "Racetracks" and even "Two Fat Ladies".
77 = Hocket Sticks = The many nicknames of 77 are due to the fact that the two cards look like hockey sticks, axes, scythes, and even candy canes.
44 = Sailboats = Also known as "Magnum", like the .44 caliber gun. This card combination has many Star Wars nicknames, due to the phrase, "May the fours be with you".
22 = Ducks / Deuces = Ducks is apparently from the French word for two, Deux. Also, 2 looks like a duck. Another duck-related nickname: "Quack Quack".

Testimonials and Case Studies from Our Parents
SchoolTutoring Academy has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was very self-conscious about her difficulties with the math section of the SAT. SchoolTutoring Academy's Academic Directors created an action plan that boosted my daughter's score and confidence level.
SchoolTutoring Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades. Test Prep Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades.
SchoolTutoring Academy Increased My SAT Score By 200 Points
My son's math marks in high school have always been weak so I found it very beneficial that his ACT tutor worked on solidifying his fundamentals while prepping for the ACT.
SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What's particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.
Work with our Monessen tutors to help your student succeed! Contact our Academic Directors Today at 1-877-545-7737.

Chalk Talk: How to Prepare for a Vocation After High School
Many students aspire to go to college after high school. Some, however, plan to enter into a vocation instead. Preparing for this transition early can be hugely beneficial. Students in Pennsylvania high schools often have course options which will prepare them for various vocational goals that may be of interest to them. Some class examples that may be offered are drafting, welding, woodworking healthcare classes, mechanics classes, and many more. Some high schools also partner with technical schools to offer their students better programs which can sometimes even provide them certification in their chosen vocation by the time the graduate. Some of these programs also work in conjunction with local companies where students can gain valuable experience through job-shadowing or internships. Whatever your school offers, take advantage of the classes that are available to you in your field. Also, make local contacts if you can to find companies who might work with you to provide you with job experience. With these considerations, you can be ready to graduate with many options in place before you throw your graduation hat in the air.

Saenz Christmas Shoot
This past Halloween we went to San Antonio to spend it with my sister-in-law and brother-in-law. While we were there we did a Christmas shoot for them. Sorry for the late blog, but this is the first chance I have had to post a few pics of their shoot. We went to the River Walk to shoot and it was a challenge trying to find a spot that didn't have so many people walking behind or even in front of the camera while we were shooting. We found a few places that were nice and free of people.
Every time we go to San Antonio our daughter Lauren always looks forward to playing with their two daughters Lily and Emily. They have a beautiful family and we are glad to have them in our lives. Jon and Sarah, take care, God Bless and we'll see you soon.
Love you guys

The final Head of Household competition of "BIg Brother" 19 is now two-thirds over. Two of the three remaining houseguests — Christmas Abbott, Paul Abrahamian and Josh Martinez — will go head-to-head live on Sept. 20 in Part 3 of this last HOH competition. Friday's episode of "Big Brother" was a recap and concluded with a clip of the start of the first part of the final HOH competition on "BB 19," which had taken place on Thursday (Sept. 14), while the feed was down. Likewise, the second part took place offline on Saturday (Sept. 16). Spoilers ahead
Paul won Part 1, which had each houseguest balancing atop a platform and holding onto a unicorn tail. This test of endurance lasted about an hour and he was the last person to fall. Christmas, who was a surprising second in Part 1, and Josh faced each other in Part 2, which has historically been a combination of physical endurance and mental agility.
Indeed, it took upwards of six hour, with three separate events. Josh won, but barely. He edged out Christmas by a margin of just minutes. He readily admitted she was a formidable foe despite her injury.
Josh and Paul will now go head-to-head in Part 3, which challenges each of the players to predict how the evicted houseguests have completed questions about their time in the house. They are given a choice of two possible answers and have to figure out which scenario is more likely. Whoever wins that round gets to evict one of the remaining houseguests and take the other through to the Final 2.
Our exclusive "Big Brother" odds are predicting that Paul will win Part 3 of this final HoH competition. He has indicated his preference is to then bounce Christmas from the house and face the jury with Josh. Conversely, Josh had made it clear that he didn't want to go up against Paul in the Final 2 but, as per the live feed, appears to be changing his mind. Stay tuned.

Photos taken from Google Maps appear to show military structures, including anti-aircraft fortifications, appearing on the Taiwan-controlled island of Taiping, in the disputed Spratly Islands chain of the South China Sea.
"The buildings appear to be about three to four stories tall and face the island's western coast, and are five to six times bigger than the existing 40-mm anti-aircraft weapons systems on the island," reports UPI, citing Taiwanese media reports that the structures look like anti-aircraft gun blockhouse towers. Alternatively, there is speculation the new buildings could be part of an early-warning system.
"Qian Qichen, a lawmaker with Taiwan's Nationalist Party, had confirmed the existence of the buildings after visiting Taiping in July, but did not elaborate on their use," UPI adds.
According to the UK Guardian, these satellite photos were uploaded to Google Earth and Google Maps during an update in July. The Director-General of Taiwan's coast guard, Lee Chung-wei, informed the parliament that "Google had been notified about concealing the structures."
"It is inconvenient for us to reveal any military facilities we are installing on Taiping island, and what their purposes are, as they are all considered secret," said Taiwan's Defense Minister, Feng Shih-kuan.
Meanwhile, China and Russia have just concluded their largest ever joint military exercise in the South China Sea, which included "island seizing missions," according to Chinese navy spokespeople.

Sport 2017 – Handball. One special stamp introduced by Croatian Post Mostar
The language of sports everybody understands, its huge influence is recognized as a way of transmitting important messages about society's development. Sport, especially in the lives of young people, encourages physical and psychological development and also allows having company and making new friendships.
FindYourStampsValue.com is excited to let our readers know that Croatian Post (HP) Mostar has issued the postage stamp "Sport 2017 – Handball". So, let's appreciate this bright philatelic item together!
The beginnings of handball, according to some historians, are linked to ancient Greece and a game called "Urania", while in ancient Rome a similar game was popular called "Harpaston". Today's handball evolved from three various sports. The Danish gymnastic trainer Holger Nielsen in 1898 had introduced to the curriculum a game similar to today's indoor handball called "Haandbold". Germans claim that handball originates from the German games "Kӧngsbergball" and "Raffball" (shown for the first time in 1891 in Braunshwig) that was later called "Hazena" by the idea of a gymnastics teacher Anton Krištof, while the first rules were proclaimed by Vaclav Karas in 1905.
The first World Handball Championship for men was held in 1938 and for women in 1957. Handball, only for men, was included in the Olympic Games in Berlin in 1936, but shortly after these games it was excluded. Handball was returned to the Olympic Games program in Munich in 1972. Competitions for women were included in 1976 at the Olympic Games in Montreal.

Coming soon to the column: my interview with Haley Gabel Bittermann, Corporate Executive Chef of Ralph's on the Park, BACCO, and Red Fish Grill in New Orleans, and Jazz Kitchen, Ralph Brennan's restaurant at the Disneyland Resort® in Southern California.
We met at Ralph's on the Park on a beautiful fall day and had a wonderful conversation while I sampled five of the restaurant's desserts and enjoyed a bottomless cup of coffee and chicory, the featured blend of Community Coffee served in the Ralph Brennan restaurants in New Orleans.
Watch this space.

We've been on a break for a couple of months, primarily because hurricanes threatened restaurants that we planned to visit and then Hurricane Gustav knocked out the power for a week at "Dining with Bacchus" headquarters.
Then, once power was restored and we had interviews lined up with star chefs in Birmingham, Alabama and Atlanta, we had to cancel because we could not get on the road: there were no rental cars available anywhere near New Orleans. (Apparently, Texans who had fled Hurricane Ike needed all the cars for local transportation until they could return home.)
If it's not one thing, it's another....
The good news is, we're getting back on track very soon.
Stay tuned.

Austro-Hungarian Naval Uniform Buttons:
Such buttons of historical uniforms- here mostly some from officers of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, the k&k Kriegsmarine- can be very apt to give a special note to ones blazer-jacket. Why not inform yourself about your local history and then invoke it anew by applying it to your attire?

How to use open data to benefit your business
The raw administrative data can have restricted benefits as it often contains personal data. It can also provide a competitive advantage that open access would annul, and risk compromising intellectual property. The easiest data to share is that which the organisation is the sole owner of.
Generating value from open data
The ODI recommends one or a combination of three different models to create value through open data. A freemium model, which is commonly used with web applications, subsidises a free data source with a paid-for service. An example of its benefit is providing a free product that adds value as a marketing tool.
Cross-subsidising business models, meanwhile, funds open data through the other benefits it can provide, such as providing support services or charging for changes to the dataset. This lowers the barriers for reuse by third-party developers, which can use the data to create tools for customers that add value to the business.
The model with most potential for profit, according to the ODI, is taking advantage of network effects around shared-data. This can manifest in either different organisations collaborating to maintain datasets for mutual benefits, or releasing data to increase the market in products and services.
Risk management is an another area that merits attention. Sourcing and managing the data will have costs that require ongoing investment that planning should prepare for.
Selling data can be surprisingly expensive, through the combination of legal, development, administrative, sales and marketing costs. It can also create strategic risks by requesting payment for products that competitors might offer for free.
A trial of open data is a useful way to balance the benefits and dangers of open data. It can act as a basis for an open data policy for what is shared and how it is managed, and reveal the opportunities and dangers of open data for your individual organisation.

Richard Mason is the retired Director of the Division of Fire Standards and Training and Emergency Medical Service, under the New Hampshire Department of Safety.
Mr. Mason became the third person to head the Division in the State of New Hampshire when he was appointed to the post in 1996. In 2000 he was among one of the first to be designated as a Chief Fire Officer, with the Center for Public Safety Excellence.

As Director, Mr. Mason oversaw the day-to-day operations of the Division, including the New Hampshire Fire Academy. The Director establishes, maintains, approves, and certifies programs, courses, institutions, and facilities for the study of fire service and emergency medical services personnel along with their recruits.
Since his retirement in 2011, Rick has served as the Training and Education Coordinator of the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation in Emmitsburg, Maryland. The Foundation is responsible for honoring those firefighters who were killed in the line of duty, take care of their families, and since 2006 has been charged with preventing line of duty deaths from occurring through training and awareness. The Red Cross and the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation are the only two non-profit organizations that were ever established by the United States Congress.
He served on the board of directors of the North American Fire Training Directors (and is immediate past president), an organization which is open to the 50 state fire training directors, as well as the Canadian provincial fire training directors. Mr. Mason completed the Executive Fire Officer Program at the National Fire Academy and is a member of the Institution of Fire Engineers.

Mr. Mason is active in the New Hampshire Boy Scouts and earned the Eagle Scout award as a youth, served as the first president of the Safety & Health Council of Northern New England, and is past president of the Portsmouth Sunrise Rotary Club.
Prior to his career at the state's fire academy, Richard Mason served for more than 20 years in three New Hampshire city fire departments: as a Shift Captain with the City of Lebanon Fire Department, Deputy Fire Chief for Nashua Fire Rescue, and Operations and Training Chief for the City of Portsmouth Fire Department.
Mason earned his Associate's Degree in Fire Protection from the Lakes Region Community College (formerly New Hampshire Community Technical College at Laconia) and his Bachelor's Degree in Public Safety Management from the University System of New Hampshire. He currently resides in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
Of his experience at LRCC, Mason says: "The New Hampshire Technical College as it was known in 1991, now Lakes Region Community College, has always been very customer friendly. I worked on my Associate Degree in Fire Protection in a long span of time. While this is not encouraged, the staff and professors at the college were very supportive and understanding of an adult with a family and full-time job trying to complete college. After 16 years I held my head high walking on the stage to receive my degree!"
