Technology tools and small class sizes allow extra time and attention in case 4-year-olds need to gain ground on early literacy skills at Franklin Elementary in Elyria.
Wedged between nap time and snack time is tech time, with a darkened classroom and teacher instruction on a Smart Board or individual exploration on LearnPads.
Hoping to impact lives of children in a huge way, The Stocker Foundation in April presented a $1.25 million grant over five years to Elyria City Schools to create the preschool program.
�The Stocker Foundation has made such a commitment to Lorain and Elyria because they know how important early literacy is now,� said Ann Schloss, director of academic services at Elyria City Schools. �It�s so neat to have a private foundation like that and they�re so supportive.�
The partnership resulted in two full-day preschool classes, upgrades to playground equipment, new rooms and furniture, student achievement, arts-inspired learning, and innovation through technology, Schloss said.
Bus transportation, breakfast, lunch and snacks are provided for preschool students. All of it is free for families, Schloss said, because of the Stocker Foundation grant, and because of the number of low-income families in the Franklin Elementary School neighborhood.
In some ways the initiative benefits the entire Franklin Elementary School, Schloss said. For example, the technology coach works with teachers, parents and students in the whole building.
�The one thing they�re really getting involved with is the technology,� said Schloss. �They have these LearnPads. The tech coach works with the teachers so they�re able to work with the students.
�A Learn Pad is the newest technology in tablets,� Schloss said. �The teacher can set up a different lesson for each student. One student could be a high achiever; the other, not so high. The teacher can make changes and help the one student and the other would never know.�
A district-wide technology application is Schoology, said Franklin Elementary Principal Lisa Licht.
�It�s educational Facebook,� Licht explained. �The teachers set up a page. The parents get on the preschool page and get updates from the teacher by class. The preschool teachers only allow this year�s parents, and no one else, to see the page.�
Also, to develop physical coordination and imagination, a New Beginnings program links fine arts such as dance, theater, music and visual arts with core subjects such as math, language arts and science.
Last week in a New Beginnings Wiggle Jig class, the children pretended to be bats, flapping their arms as wings to fly, then wrapping their arms around their chests and sticking their feet in the air to sleep.
With 30 children in the two classes, the preschool offers room for six more students.
Kim Marbury said she and her husband, Nate, are impressed with a variety of activities of their 4-year-old son, Dallas, at the preschool.
�They have a lot going on in those classrooms; it�s amazing,� Marbury said. �I love his teachers. Miss (Jill) Henes is a wonderful teacher. Dallas adores her. Technology is where it�s at right now. And they�re letting them be children. They still have nap time and rest time. They�re letting their little minds grow. I just love that school right now. It�s absolutely fabulous.�
Erin German teaches the other preschool class, Schloss said.
�When we set it up, we used a veteran and a new teacher,� Schloss said. �Jill Henes is the veteran teacher, with 12 years in teaching and 11 years in teaching preschool.�
Activities change fast. The children visit learning centers with large foam blocks and other activities, such as learning how to handle scissors by cutting straws into a washtub. In another teaching example, German recently lined up three children near the door, and asked other children to show who was first, middle, or last.
Alana Lynch, a flight attendant for United Airlines, said since she is a product of Elyria City Schools, she feels excited about the opportunity for her 4-year-old son, Chase Ayers, to attend Franklin preschool.
�Chase is more independent and more excited to go to school every day,� Lynch said. �I was nervous. From the first day of school he took on his own pattern. I was nervous about his riding the bus and being there for all day. Previously he was in preschool for three hours.
�It�s technology based,� Lynch said. �He�s learning things older kids haven�t learned yet, because they don�t have the technology or whatever. I also enjoy the fact that they include parents in the program. There�s an app, Schoology. We can keep track of his attendance, what�s going on in the classroom, if there�s a problem. His father and I made the right decision sending Chase to Franklin Preschool.�
In August the start of the new preschool went well.
�It was a smooth transition,� Licht said. �A lot of the prep work was done in the summer, so when it was time for school to start, it was smooth. The kids are catching on really quick. They�re like little sponges.�
�I know in talking with the teachers they can see a lot of growth with the students just since the beginning of school,� Schloss said.
The district hopes to identify key concepts for increasing literacy among under-privileged children.
�When they enter kindergarten next year we can track the students in this program versus another program versus nothing at all,� Schloss said. �We�re going to track the kids all the way through.�

Final report from the Fabian Commission on Food and Poverty
Today sees the publication and launch in the House of Commons of Hungry for Change, an in-depth report on the links between food and poverty in the UK.
The year-long study has been undertaken by the Fabian Commission on Food and Poverty, which is made up of experts in food policy and related fields including health, social policy, the environment, poverty and education.
The report focuses on the issue of 'household food insecurity', which the Commission defines as 'the inability to acquire or consume an adequate quality or sufficient quantity of food in socially acceptable ways, or the uncertainty that one will be able to do so.'
The Commission has been hosted by the Fabian Society and is not affiliated to any political party. The cross-party nature of the Commission's work is in recognition of the need to achieve the political consensus needed to put in place the long-term co-ordinated government actions required to address this issue.
The commissioners' recommendations include:
In his preface to the report, Geoff Tansey, Commission Chair, lays out their vision for the UK's food system:
'As a Commission, we want to see a country where your income no longer dictates how much nutritious food you have access to, or how likely you are to eat foods that are high in fat, salt, and sugar. We want to see a country where children are not bombarded by unhealthy food marketing; but are equipped to make their own food choices by an understanding of where food comes from and what is in the food they eat. We want to see a food system where everybody can easily acquire nutritious food they can afford without causing dire consequences for the environment, and for producers and workers both in the UK and around the world involved in food provisioning.'

Welcome to the Macao Polytechnic Institute (MPI) website!
Founded in 1991, we are a public, multi-disciplinary, application-based institution of higher learning. Since the handover in 1999, with "knowledge, expertise, global vision" as our motto, we have adhered to the Macao SAR government's guideline of carrying forward the integration of Chinese and Western cultural traditions. Painstaking efforts have been made in unleashing our advantages in Portuguese teaching to enhance Macao's role as a platform for communication between China and Portuguese-speaking countries. A couple of years ago, I was awarded the title of academician of the Academy of Sciences of Lisbon and honorary doctorate from the University of Lisbon, which in nature is a testimonial of the Institute's efforts in promoting Portuguese and its contributions to building closer ties between China and Portuguese-speaking countries.
In response to the SAR Government's higher education policy of promoting academic accreditation, we invited UK Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) to conduct an Institutional Review in 2013. In February 2014, QAA announced on its website that MPI has received a Judgement of "confidence", the highest rating given by the QAA. This is the first internationally recognised institutional review ever undertaken by a higher education institution in Macao. QAA has commended MPI's academic standards, quality of learning opportunities, information about learning opportunities, and enhancement of learning quality, thus demonstrating that MPI meets international standards.
The achievements have been made possible thanks to the support and trust of the SAR Government, the community, our staff, students and parents. We will continue to implement the Government's policies and higher education planning as well as adhere to QAA's rigorous standards in terms of curriculum design, teaching materials, pedagogy, research performance, management etc. Following this Institutional Review, MPI's engagement in programme validation will be further intensified. Since 2011 several of our academic programmes have already been professionally validated. Examples include the computing programme validated by the UK Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), the e-Commerce programme by the US Institute of Certified E-Commerce Consultants, and the Accounting programme by the CPA Australia and the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), UK. In the future we will continue our endeavour to ensure all the programmes are academically validated, optimising the education provision in anticipation of our students graduating with "knowledge, expertise and global vision".
Again, welcome to browse through our website or, better yet, visit us on our nice little campus.

Super Bowl Sunday marks the day where two of the best National Football League teams compete for the right to call themselves the best American football team in the world and hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy… and provides an excuse for the rest of us to attend Super Bowl parties, watch commercials, and eat food. (Fun fact: according to the Harris Health System & Snack Food Association, Super Bowl Sunday is the second highest food consumption event of the year next to Thanksgiving, and fans typically "consume 11 million pounds of potato chips, 13.2 million pounds of avocados, 8.2 million pounds of tortilla chips, 4.3 million pounds of pretzels, 3.8 pounds of popcorn" and 12.5 million pizzas on the day.)
Food aside though, over the last 10 years there has not been a Super Bowl that has actually captured my attention for the whole 60 minutes. This one had me hooked, and I was not alone. In fact, Super Bowl XLIX smashed the Twitter record of tweets during a Super Bowl with 28.4 million. The three topics that contributed most to that total were Katy Perry's halftime performance, the interception to end the game, and the fact that the New England Patriots won.
With fifty seconds left and the clock running, I expected the Patriots to concede the touchdown so that Tom Brady could attempt another one of his masterful game-tying/winning drives. Instead, the Patriots opted to play defense and try to stop the beast that is Marshawn Lynch from getting across the goal line. Insert #WorstCallEver. Rather than give the ball to the best runner on the field, the Seahawks chose to execute a surprise pass play that was intercepted. While the world sat there speechless at the play call and amazed at what had transpired, Twitter was nothing but quiet.
Twitter was not the only media platform that saw a large increase in buzz because of such a close game – NBC drew a 4% rise in its TV rating compared to last year's Super Bowl. The broadcast score of 49.7/72 marked the highest overnight rating in Super Bowl history.

Question about Motorola Mobility MOTOKRZR K1 Cellular Phone
Isn't the MP3 player supposed to work just like a regular one? I plug my phone into the USB and nothing happens. I tried to sync and it does not read the phone. Other people say I need a CD-ROM still others are saying Bluetooth and still others are saying memory card etc..can you please help me? Thank you.
the computer wont let me sync anything on to my memory card. it tells my it is Write Protected and i don't know how to remove it or make it so it lets me put stuff on it.
Posted by kica on
Okay... :)
1. the PC needs a CD-ROM with the cell phone's drivers to help interface the sync process.
2. you could transfer the files via bluetooth if both cell phone and computer have bluetooth components built in them.
3. if the PC tells you the memory card is write protected, look for a tiny little lock/unlock switch in the edge of the card to undo the "protect".
Hope this helps...

SOURCE: Cannot Sync music files
you've got several options, you can save mp3s to the phone memory itself if you use the motorola phone tools cd and a usb or bluetooth connection to the phone.
if you've got a memory card, you can also save data to the card.
if you've got a memory card, and you plug the phone in via usb, then the phone should show up as a usb disk, you can also use a usb card reader to put data on the card, and then drop the card into the phone.
to be clear, if you have the cd with motorola phone tools, you can save files to the phone, or the card... if you don't have the MPT, then you need a memory card, and either use usb, or a usb card reader to put music on it.

Catherine Faherty works with children and adults with autism through the well-renowned TEACCH program in North Carolina. She is also a parent consultant and child therapist; consults to school programs; trains teachers and other professionals locally, nationally, and internationally; and runs social groups for children and adults with autism. She has written manuals used in TEACCH trainings, developed training models. Catherine Faherty resides in Asheville, North Carolina, USA.
I first came across this book when I was officially diagnosed with autism, about 4 years ago at the local TEACCH Center. At this time Catherine was still working for TEACCH. (I knew I was autistic before that, but being a girl & growing up in the 80's I had grown-up with other labels, like "emotionally disturbed.") Having the diagnosis finally made official & having *BOTH* people in my life & MYSELF accept that there was a neurological reason for my differences & behaviors (rather than problems with my character) was vitally important. This book helped make that possible. And it was on the very day of my diagnosis that I first encountered it! I was extremely exhausted & stressed after undergoing the series of required psychological & cognitive tests. Actually, I was ready to run out the door. (Which was something that I did a lot under stress in those days.) But while the results of the tests were being discussed, the therapist (probably detecting my distress) handed me this book to look at. I promptly proceed to focus on the book & ignore everyone else. I have to admit that the first thing I liked about the book was that it was HEAVY. It was the weight/pressure of the book on my lap that actually helped me to sit & slow down my stimming. Eventually I calmed down enough to look inside of the book & read some of the words. When Catherine came in & was introduced to me for the first time, I said, "I like your book! It is helping me to sit!" In the days after my evaluation, my thoughts kept coming back around to this book. I really wanted to be able to explore it more, in my own time. We went to the library & checked it out. I am so glad that we did! I read it & re-read it. I did the activities in the book. While other books I had access to were dense & wordy, this book was easy to process & broken down into parts that I could manage. I was learning, understanding & accepting a lot about myself, through using this book. And here is what was really great: It didn't just help me, it helped my partner a lot too. We *both* read it, through the book we were communicating about important topics. It helped us both understand what was going on! I am really grateful for this experience. Even though the book is meant for children and teens, I think it is really useful for people of any age! I liked that my differences were presented in a straight-forward, non-judgmental, positive way. It was extremely validating to see them in print. That they were in a book made me feel not alone & not "wrong." I started to feel more kind & gentle with myself, I started to think in terms of "differences" rather than "deficiencies" or "faults." I loved the concrete suggestions. As an adult, I enjoyed reading the sections for "Parents & Teachers" as well. I especially loved reading about schedules & the examples of schedules in the book. I loved how Catherine introduces the idea of getting help or requesting help. This is a cornerstone for self-advocacy. And I had never known that I could ask for help. I loved the work-sheet statements that I could easily read & think about & process... and then decide if they were "true for me." Seeing things that *were* honestly true for me, in print, helped me to understand truths about myself that I had never been able to form into words before or communicate to another person! I started to feel like, "Hey! Someone understands me! This has never really happened before! I want to keep going, keep learning!" One of my favorite things was reading about "the quiet children." As a very silent child, it made me so happy to read this. In the second edition, there are some great new additions to the book. I love the way Catherine defends stimming! I want to be in a class that has group stimming time, like she recommends. I would have loved doing this in school. The expanded additions on talents & creative expression are wonderful! I hope that everyone who reads the book will find some of their own talents reflected in this chapter. And the chapter on being happy is very important. I like that it has very concrete suggestions for improving happiness. This makes feeling better very accessible to the autistic cognitive style. The section on students giving their own input in the IEP process THRILLS me to no end! Lastly, I think the sections for older kids on self injurious behavior & depression/suicidal feelings are also really important. These topics are hard for anyone to discus! This gives a non-emotional, logical way for autistic people to try to express big, complicated feelings & experiences. This book is *very* important for autistic children because it helps them to understand themselves & their experiences. And to realize that their experiences may be different from other people's. Typically, so much treatment for autistic children focuses on language development, changing behavior, and developing "social skills." These are all external observable traits. BUT they do not address the lived in, internal experience of being an autistic person. What Catherine's book can do is help children understand who they are, on the INSIDE. This is vitally important and there needs to be more focus on this area of personal development!!! I don't know if non-autistic people can appreciate how out of control life can feel when you live in a world that is not designed for your way of being. But every bit of understanding that we have, of ourselves & of each other, helps to make navigating the world a tiny bit easier. And. PLEASE remember: If accurate information is not available to help children understand themselves, they will *STILL* come to conclusions about who they are & how they are in the world. And this information (more often than not) will be provided by people who (at best) do not understand autism & (at worst) by people who are being actively unkind (for example: bullies!). By using this book I think children can gain self-understanding, self-acceptance & (ultimately) self-confidence in ways that are really tailored to their strengths & abilities. Everyone feels better when they are understood & understand themselves! Autistic people are not different in this regard. - Jade McWilliams "This book offers another approach to furthering the understanding of autism ... encouraging autistic children to learn more about themselves, and guiding them through a journey of self-discovery. It is a valuable resource for awareness and ... self-esteem! Such a book could have been very helpful to me and my family when I was a child."--Dave Spicer, diagnosed at age 46 "This is information that every kid with autism should have."--Thomas Johnson, age 10

In its simplest form, forecasting starts when someone inputs both what they know in the present and what they've learned in the past into a model that predicts what will happen in the future.
We recently stumbled across a fantastic essay by James Surowiecki about forecasting, and he points out the two most important things every forecaster must be aware of. The article is directed at financial and economic pundits but its meaning can be extrapolated for just about any profession. Here's what he says:
"The first is the outsized economic role, and increased complexity, of the financial sector. The enormous amounts of leverage that banks and other financial institutions now use have amplified the consequences of their decisions, as has the increased importance of derivatives. But the financial sector is, relatively speaking, opaque—it's difficult for regulators and next-to-impossible for investors to get a real handle on the kinds of risks financial institutions are taking and the kinds of bets they're making. If you want to predict how a potential crisis will play out, you have to be able to predict how it will affect the country's big banks.
The second problem that forecasters face today is more subtle, but perhaps no less important: that there may actually be too much information out there. But the reality is that investors and businesspeople are now constantly assailed by a high-volume clang of market info and economic data. More important, they're bombarded by news about what other investors and businesspeople think, and the predictions they're making. Once upon a time, executives could make decisions based primarily on their own, private information—what they sensed about local business conditions, what they were seeing from their customers. Investors could pay attention chiefly to fundamental data. These days, it's harder, in psychological terms, to do that, because you're constantly exposed to the opinions of others."

I am no expert on pearls, but in this post I will share with you a bit of research I have done on pearls. Anyone seeking more detail or clarification would be well advised to consult with a certified gemologist and/or GIA (Gemological Institute of America). But here are a few interesting things I have found --
(side note: Many thanks to Jeffery Bergman on LinkedIn, who found some needed corrections and shared them with me...)
A pearl is an object produced when a mollusk produces layers of nacre (pronounced NAY-kur) around some type of irritant inside its shell. In natural pearls, the irritant may be another organism from the water. In cultured pearls, a nucleous is inserted (by humans) into the mollusk to start the process. The ideal pearl is perfectly round and smooth, but many other shapes (baroque, oval button and drop) can occur. The finest quality natural pearls have been highly valued as gemstones and objects of beauty for many centuries. Because of this, pearl has become a metaphor for something rare, fine, admirable and valuable. The necklace to the right is made with multicolor South Sea & Tahitian pearls, assorted gemstones and 24K Gold Vermeil; from OrientalEmpire on Etsy.
Natural Pearls
Historically, many natural pearls were found in the Persian Gulf; unfortunately, today, most have already been harvested. Natural (or wild) pearls, formed without human intervention, are very rare. Many hundreds of pearl oysters or mussels must be gathered and opened, and thus killed, to find even one wild pearl; for many centuries, this was the only way pearls were obtained, and why pearls fetched such extraordinary prices in the past. Today, natural 'pearling' occurs mostly in seas off Bahrain (a country in the Middle East). Australia also has one of the world's last remaining fleets of pearl diving ships. Australian pearl divers dive for south sea pearl oysters to be used in the cultured south sea pearl industry.
Cultured Pearls
Cultured pearls are grown in pearl farms. The mollusks are raised until they are old enough to accept a nucleous, generally a polished sphere made from freshwater mussel shell. Through a delicate surgical procedure, the technician implants the nucleous and then the mollusks are returned to the water and cared for while the pearl forms. Not all produce a pearl; and not all the pearls are high quality. Over 10,000 pearls may be sorted before a 16" single strand of beautifully matched pearls is assembled. Pearls can be found in saltwater and in freshwater. There are also different types of mollusks that produce very different looking pearls.
Keshi pearls, although they often occur by chance, are not considered natural. They are a byproduct of the culturing process, and therefore don't happen without human intervention. They are very small, typically only a few millimeters. Keshi pearls are produced by many different types of marine mollusks and freshwater mussels in China. Keshi pearls are actually a mistake in the cultured pearl seeding process. In seeding the cultured pearl, a piece of mantle muscle from a sacrificed oyster is placed with the nucleous (or bead) within the oyster. If the piece of mantle should slip off the bead, a pearl forms of a different shape. Therefore, a Keshi pearl could be considered superior to cultured pearls with a standard bead center. (Lovely Keshi pearl bracelet to the right is from TheSpiralRiver on Etsy.)
Tradenames of cultured pearls are Akoya, white or golden South sea, and black Tahitian.
Akoya pearls are the specialty of Japanese pearl farms. Because Akoya pearls are a high-quality pearl, you'll find them set with gold posts and clasps, and you'll find they are well matched for size, shape, and color. You'll also find few blemishes and a deep, beautiful luster. The Akoya looks very similar to the Freshwater pearl. But on average, Akoya pearls are larger, smoother, rounder, and more lustrous than Freshwater pearls. A wire Wrap necklace of Iolite Moonstone and cultured Blue Akoya Pearls shown to the left is from RohrJewelers on Etsy.
South Sea pearls are the color of their host Pinctada maxima oyster – and can be white, silver, pink, gold, cream, and any combination of these basic colors, including overtones of the various colors of the rainbow displayed in the pearl nacre of the oyster shell itself. South Sea pearls are the largest and rarest of the cultured pearls – making them the most valuable. They are prized for their exquisitely beautiful luster. The beautiful golden South Sea Pearl and diamond earrings to the right are from OrMana on Etsy.
Tahitian pearls, frequently referred to as black pearls, are highly valued because of their rarity; the culturing process for them dictates a smaller volume output and they can never be mass-produced because, in common with most sea pearls, the oyster can only be nucleated with one pearl at a time, while freshwater mussels are capable of multiple pearl implants. Tahitian pearls are interestingly not exclusively from Tahiti – they're grown in several of the islands of French Polynesia, including Tahiti. Their typical sizes range from 8mm to 16mm. These naturally colored pearls are collectively called black pearls, but their colors include shades of green, purple, aubergine, blue, grey, silver or peacock (a mix of several shades, like a peacock's feather). Before the days of cultured pearls, black pearls were rare and highly valued for the simple reason that white pearl oysters rarely produced naturally black pearls, and black pearl oysters rarely produced any natural pearls at all. (To the right above is a Tahitian pearl ring from LusterWear on Etsy.)
Saltwater Pearls
Saltwater pearls include the Akoya cultured pearls grown in Japanese and Chinese waters. They range in size from 2mm (tiny) to 10mm (rare) and are usually white or cream in color and round in shape. Australia, Indonesia, and the Philippines produce the South Sea pearl – the largest of all the pearls. They range in size from 9mm to 20mm and can be naturally white, cream, or golden in color. On the left above is a saltwater Baroque Pearl necklace from TANGRA2009 on Etsy.
Freshwater Pearls
These pearls are grown in freshwater lakes, rivers, and ponds, predominately in China. Although many are white and resemble the akoya cultured pearls in shape and size, they can also be produced in various shapes and in an array of pastel colors. Many freshwater pearls don't have a bead nucleus — only a piece of tissue — resulting in a pearl with thicker nacre than the akoya. To the left is necklace from GinnyTaylorDesigns on Etsy, featuring London Blue Topaz with Peacock Freshwater Pearls.
Imitation Pearls
Imitation pearls are usually a coated glass bead. Most have a high luster, but not the depth of luster seen on high quality cultured pearls. You can easily separate an imitation from a cultured or natural pearl. It can be a challenge, though, to determine if the pearl is cultured or natural. And, many pearls undergo treatments to either enhance their luster or alter their color. Since this treatment affects their value, you will want to obtain the educated advice of a top jeweler, such as the certified gemologists of the American Gem Society.
For those of you who want to make or wear pearl jewelry, we hope this introduction has been helpful. If you'd like to know more about working with pearls, you might check out this tutorial on hand-knotting from Fire Mountain Gems. (One reason to knot pearls is to keep all of them from falling off the strand if it breaks; it's also done to keep them from touching, which can result in chipping the outer surface.)
I highly recommend the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show for finding all sorts of incredible pearls. I'll never forget the football-field-sized building full of tables piled high with so many pearls -- it was truly mind-boggling (and wonderful).

|1,614 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|1 - 7 nights
The Mischabel is a split level apartment on the second floor that can sleep 6 people. However the master bedroom can also be arranged as a family room (the sitting area has a day bed that converts in to a full sized double bed) which means it could sleep 8 people.
The apartment is fully equipped with all the essentials including wifi, a coffee machine, hairdryers packs and a home made cake will be there to greet you when you arrive. The large open-plan kitchen/living-room leads on to a full-width, south-facing balcony looking directly at the Matterhorn and also has a 55' home cinema system (complete with all UK channels and Apple TV) - you can have breakfast gazing out at the mountain and, after a hard day on the mountains, get cosy by the fire drinking a glass of wine and watching a film in the evenings.
For larger groups there is the possibility to take the apartment below (Le Petit) which sleeps 4.
The 3 Chez Nous apartments are all in the same building (Haus Maoli) just a 5 minute walk from the centre of Zermatt/the ski bus. All the apartments have large south facing balconies with un-interrupted views straight out on to The Matterhorn. One of the few remaining fields is just in front of us which gives a welcome feeling of space despite being so close to all the restaurants, the church bridge and the lift stations/bus.
We have 3 apartments available to rent so larger groups of family and friends can be in the same building but with their own space to retreat to!
The Corbassiere Apartment is a new addition to Chez Nous for the winter 2016/17 season and is a beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment on the 3rd floor that can sleep up to 6 people.
The Mischabel is a split level apartment with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms on the second floor that can sleep 6-8 people.
Le Petit (actually much bigger than it sounds because it comfortably sleeps 4/5 people!) is a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment on the first floor.
Your hosts Lizzie & Angus live in the same building so in addition to everything that we do before you get here (we can organise ski schools, book restaurants, help with child care etc) we are also on hand during your stay to help with any questions. And if for any reason we are not here, we have a couple who will be here to look after you in our absence who both know Zermatt very well so you will be in good hands.
The only practical point to bear in mind is that direct access to our building from street level is down 3 flights of stairs. However once your luggage is installed most guests then use the shortcut to the village via a path across the field in front of the house.
WARNING: we feel duty bound to warn any potential traveller, using sites like these, about the widespread proliferation of scammers setting up bogus listings and sites. If you are AT ALL uncertain about whether what you are booking is valid PLEASE telephone us because a conversation about what is on offer is much less easily 'faked' than an email offer/confirmation and we will always take the time to explain the Chez Nous service to you in detail.
We (Lizzie Orange and Angus Potter) have been living and working in Zermatt for the last 10 years (and Angus has been skiing here since he was 9 years old). We met here and, having left our 'London lives' behind, decided that Chez Nous was a great way to combine our skills. As well as running Chez Nous, Angus teaches skiing at one of the local ski schools (Stoked) and Lizzie is a private chef, organises events and, in the event that Chez Nous is not right for you, she can also tailor-make a holiday in Zermatt for you.
Lizzie Orange purchased this apartment in 2013
Initially we ran a small b&b from our own apartment but we now have 4 apartments in this building (the Swiss laws re. foreigners buying property allowed us to buy one and lease the others) and as from Winter 2016/17, Chez Nous has 3 apartments to rent (The Corbassiere which sleeps 6 on the 3rd floor, The Mischabel which sleeps 6-8 on the 2nd floor and Le Petit which sleeps 4 on the 1st floor). We offer our guests the privacy of a self-catered holiday combined with the feel and warmth of staying in someone else's home. We have completely re-furnished the flats to create a more cosy atmosphere that aims to make you feel at home from the moment you walk in.
When we set up Chez Nous I don't think either of us imagined the pleasure we would get from meeting and getting to know the guests who have stayed with us. We spent a lot of time talking about how we wanted the flats to look (and, as anyone who has done this will know, arguing about what should go where!) but didn't foresee how nice it would be to see families and friends enjoying the space we have created.
We are delighted to be able to welcome so many guests who now stay with us each year (as well as saying hello to new guests) and we are doing our best to make sure we add a few new touches to each apartment each season to keep them fresh as well as familiar
We hope that us being 'on site' (without being in your way) will help you get the most out of your holiday. Angus knows the ski area like the back of his hand and Lizzie's forte is food - so between us we think we have the most important things covered. We will be on hand to make recommendations, reservations, answer any questions or simply have a glass of wine with you in the evening if you want to come upstairs and say hello.
the Mischabel condo was the perfect setting for our family of 5 looking for central location in town(Zermatt). besides its great location (and view of the Matterhorn), it was extremely clean and up to date (all very important to my wife) and had a terrific layout with a very sizeable and well-appointed common room adjacent to the kitchen for common living space and family congregation. the rooms are spacious and nicely done. it is always hard to discern the quality of a place by viewing on line; in this case, our expectations were greatly exceeded. Lizzie, who could not be nicer, made the whole check in process seamless, and was very helpful with tips on how to assimilate quickly (activities to pursue, location of grocery stores, etc). highly recommended by us.
If you want to take the apartment to sleep 8 (rather than 6) by using the extra 2 beds that are available in the master bedroom to make a family room, we will charge you an additional 40chf per extra bed per night.
Listed rates include: all local taxes; taxi transfer from the station at the start and finish of your stay and a welcome hamper in your apartment.
We had a wonderful stay, and can't wait to come back. Lizzie is a consummate and generous host, a great resource, and incredibly helpful with planning, recommendations, reservations, and the like. The chalet is centrally located, and perfectly appointed. A really great place to stay. Highly recommend!
We stayed a week in the Mischabel and I can't say enough good things about it. The apartment was perfect and comfortable and with everything we needed. A perfect view of the Matterhorn out the window. Just as important, our host Lizzie went above and beyond to help us out. Before we arrived, she helped with questions, made a few dinner reservations for us, and even made plans to purchase our lift passes for us. She brought them to our apartment so that was one less thing we'd have to do on our arrival day! Thank you Lizzie for a great week.
We went to Apartment Mischabel with extended family. Grandparents, parents and 3 children aged 8, 6 and 4 and everything worked well for us. Location is good, very close to center of town but still quiet with a nice view to the Matterhorn. The apartment itself has a nice layout, three bedroom with each a bathroom. Everything was perfectly equipped, bathroom with lots of towels and soap/shampoo, kitchen with all you need. It's a type of apartment you can come to and you don't have to worry about whether you have to shopping immediately in order to buy a lot of the basics like toilet paper, tissues, dishwasher tabs etc. Everything is there. The apartment is really nicely decorated and furnished, lots of entertainment possibilities (TV channels, Swisscom TV, Apple TV etc.). Lizzie has been very helpful from A to Z - organizing ski school for the kids, lift passes, making restaurant reservations every day and so on. No time wasted to worry about where to go to eat. The whole stay was very relaxed. Would definitively go again if we got back to Zermatt.
The Mischabel is a beautiful 3 bedroom 3 bathroom unit that is beautifully furnished & maintained. It's close enough to walk anywhere in the village without a hassle. Great views of the Matterhorn from the living room & main bedroom. Lizzie and Angus are dedicated people who want nothing more to make your stay as positive experience as can be. From picking you up in a taxi at the station, organising lift passes and ski lessons before you arrive, leaving Xmas presents under the tree for kids on arrival, doing a shop so milk, beer, bread, fruit & essentials were in the unit before our arrival...it is hard to find fault with anything. Great spot, great service, great memories.
This apartment is perfect for 6-8 people. It is spacious with tons of natural light. Great proximity to the Center of town and a 10 min walk to Matterhorn glacier lift. Lizzie and Angus went out of their way to ensure we were well taken care of- from making all our restaurant reservations on the hill and in town, to keeping us informed about the conditions and lift closures when there were high winds. Overall, our family has traveled to many different places in the world and we can't remember having a more hospitable service from our hosts. I highly recommend "Chez Nous", without reservation.
Lizzie made us feel very welcome, and made sure we got off to a great start by meeting us at the train and accompanying us to the apartment. It is very comfortable and has a wonderful view of the Matterhorn. The kitchen is well appointed, as is the rest of the house. Nice unexpected perks too. If we visit Zermatt again we would love to stay here again.
Zermatt deserves its reputation as one of the world's best mountain resorts - there is a magical quality to it all year round.
The Klein Matterhorn cable car is the highest cable car in Europe (3,883m at the summit) and on a clear day gives you simply breathtaking views out towards Mont Blanc and its surrounding peaks. Alternatively start your day on the Gornergrat railway which originally opened in 1898 and is the second highest railway in Europe (after the Jungfrau) - a great feat of Swiss engineering. From the top of Gornergrat you get a sweeping panorama of 29 'four thousanders' (mountains over 4,000m) including the Monte Rosa which is the highest mountain in Switzerland.
In the winter your lift pass covers the Zermatt and Cervinia and includes some 360km of marked runs but if that isn't enough you can also ice skate, sledge, hike, snow shoe, try curling or simply swim and relax in one of the village hotel's wonderful wellness areas.
In the summer there is glorious hiking, climbing, a fun park for the children, cycling, tennis, squash, paragliding and plenty of places to have a picnic by a lake.
At any time of year Zermatt has something to offer and its mountain restaurants are second to none in the Alps so the gourmet will not be disappointed either.

The economy and the financial markets have fallen dramatically this year in most parts of the world.
Most commentators, myself included, have not put the blame on President Obama. But e-mail messages that I received in response to my article on the market today raise questions as to whether that is just because The New York Times is biased.
One reads:
Are you kidding? The market is dropping in RESPONSE to what president BO is doing to it — not that he's not doing enough! When will The New York Times engage in truth in reporting?!
Another states:
I doubt any of you brains at the NYT would ever think of it, and surely wouldn't print it if you did, but perhaps the markets are turned off by Obama's incompetents and how they are setting out to destroy the economy, our health care system, the military and society in general. No, I don't really think you would do either, given your rag's insistence that the empty suit not be challenged, criticized or permitted to fail. Really contemptible.
And a third:
The most salient point is that Obama's radical socialist budget is anti investor anti mid class business owners and people and a new welfare state — as much as u guys at the Times are recalcitrant to attack your messiah — but he is a total false messiah — and will bring an end to the usa
There are others that assert I do not know what I am talking about, but attribute that to something other than what they perceive as bias. Those notes do not bother me, but the ones above do.
The practice of connecting market movements to news events is inherently uncertain and dubious. Stock markets go down because people sell stocks, and buyers are unwilling to pay as much as they were. Sometimes the connection of news and market move is obvious, particularly for a single company that had something surprisingly good or bad happen. More often, it is not.
It sounds reasonable to assert, as I did, that reports of continued declines in economic activity helped to cause Monday's falls, and that the failure of the European summit to reach an agreement over the weekend was also a negative. Those things did take place at around the same time. But there is no way to prove a relationship. It does not sound reasonable to state that fans of the New York Yankees were upset by three spring-training losses in a row, but that, too, happened before Monday's sell-off.
If you believe the stimulus plan is bad public policy, or that the bank bailouts are being mishandled, then it seems quite reasonable to you to tie those to a falling market. But it is a stretch to conclude that those who disagree with you must be doing so because of political bias.
I think an economic stimulus plan was necessary, and that getting a decently functioning financial system is even more important. It is far from clear how effective the plan that was enacted will be, or whether the efforts to fix the financial system will work. It is even less clear what view investors have of those issues.
These are times unlike any I have seen. The worldwide economy is shrinking in ways that recall the early 1930s — a time that no one under 85 remembers well — and we know what happened after that. There is a general agreement that the policies pursued by the Hoover administration were misguided, but that does not prove what would have worked then, or will work now.
I would ask readers to at least accept the possibility that I am doing the best I can to make sense of this — not simply coming up with an analysis to support a political agenda. I certainly may be wrong, but it is not because of political bias, or because I want to make any official look good or bad.

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. – The SIUE women's basketball team gave Head Coach Paula Buscher a milestone win in front of a record and lively crowd Thursday afternoon at the Vadalabene Center.
The Cougars defeated Tennessee Tech 65-58 in an Ohio Valley Conference game for their ninth win in their last 11 games and provided Buscher with her 300th career victory.
"Getting 300 wins means I have had a lot of great players who have played for me," said Buscher, also earning her 90th win in six years at SIUE. "It's really all about the kids."
The Cougars improved to 12-10 overall and 9-2 in the OVC by winning again on the annual Field Trip Day sponsored by Phillips 66 Wood River Refinery of Roxana, Ill. They are 3-0 on that day and this year's win came in front of a record crowd of 3,875.
"We need Field Trip Day every week," Buscher quipped.
Donshel Beck scored a team-best 19 points and Lauren White contributed 13 points to propel the Cougars, who came out quickly. They led 20-11 at the end of the first quarter and 35-23 at halftime before Tennessee Tech made a second-half run at them. The Golden Eagles, who cut the Cougars' lead to five points in the final minute, dropped to 4-18 overall and 1-10 in the OVC.
"We got a little too comfortable in the fourth quarter," Beck said.
The SIUE players wanted to make it as comfortable as possible for Buscher on her big day. Her first collegiate win came in November 1997 when she coached at Mankato State, Minn., now Minnesota State.
"I'm excited for coach because she's humble about it," Beck said. "That's the amazing part of it."
White added, "Congratulations to Coach Buscher. It's really good for her."
The enthusiastic crowd proved good for the Cougars in supplying them with a positive vibe, Beck and White said.
"We really enjoying the kids coming out to the game because it creates a great atmosphere for us, and we can feed off it," White said.
Beck, who moved into the No. 8 spot on the SIUE career scoring list with 1,298 points, noted: "It's really fun and exciting to play in front of a large crowd. They get excited, and we get excited."
Buscher said, "The marketing department did a great job with this (promotion) and the kids gave us a lot of energy."
Gwen Adams collected nine points, Elina Berzina netted eight points and White snared nine rebounds for SIUE, which made 25 of 66 shots. The Cougars were 4 of 16 on three-pointers, sank 11 of 14 free throws and were outrebounded 41-39. Tennessee Tech, led by MacKenzie's Coleman 22 points, made 19 of 54 shots, with 4 of 19 from three-point land. The Golden Eagles converted 16 of 22 free throws. They closed in on the Cougars near the end of the game, but SIUE refused to wilt, Buscher said. SIUE once led 46-28 in the second half and 48-33 after three quarters.
"I'm not crazy about the fourth quarter, but we did the little things to close out the game," Buscher said.
The Cougars continue their four-game homestand Saturday when they welcome Jacksonville State at 6 p.m. Next Eastern Illinois (7 p.m. on Feb. 7) and Murray State (6 p.m. on Feb. 10) come calling to the Vadalabene Center.

Modding 1.5.2: Metadata Items
In this tutorial I'm going to show you how to create metadata Items. For this you will have to make some small changes to the mod file and you will have to change a lot in the Item file. These are the files I will start with.
Mod file
Before you read this tutorial I suggest reading through the Block tutorial. There will be some references to that tutorial in here.
For metadata blocks you needed an ItemBlock. For Item metadata you don't need one since there is already an Item file. There are some small differences, but in short for Item metadata you need the code from the Block and ItemBlock file all in the Item file.
In the current Item file we extend the ItemGeneralTutorial which can be used for basic Items. Since this is not a basic item you should change ItemGeneralTutorial into Item and copy the code from the General file in the ItemTutorial file. We are going to make quite some changes to the code. This is what the file should look like now.
Like the Block file you will need an Icon array to load all the images. We can just copy that part of the code from the Block file. The new code should look like this.
If you don't know what this code means you should read the Block Metadata tutorial. The code is explained in there.
Again like the Block file you need to make sure that the Items get different textures depending on the metadata. Since Items don't have sides the code for this is quite a bit easier. It should look like this for every Item if you follow the tutorial exactly.
This method has one parameter which is the damage of the item. The thing it wants returned is the Icon. Because we have an Icon array that has the same numbers for metadata as for the Icon we can simply return icons[par1] for every single metadata and that is the same in every metadata Item that is made like this.
There is one more thing that can be copied from the Block file. That is the getSubBlocks method. The only difference is, of course, that you have to change the name into getSubItems. The method should look like this.
This code is exactly the same as in the Block tutorial, if you don't understand it, read that tutorial.
Now there are just 2 things left to do. The first is to make sure that the Item names are different for each metadata and then to make sure that the names in game are also different. The first thing is done by creating a String array that contains a special name for every metadata.
When you have made that array you will have to add the getUnlocalizedName method to the ItemTutorial file and add this code in there.
The code in this method is also the same for every single metadata Item.
The Item file should now look like this.
The last step for metadata Items is to use LanguageRegistry to add different in-game news for the Item. The code for that should look like this.
The whole Mod file should now look like this.
You can look at the source code over here.

2. Little Earthquake - Honest
3. Kaleo - I Can't Go On Without You
4. Emily Wurramara - Ngerraberrakernama (Wake Up)
5. Landings - My Bones (NEW)
Jo's Pick of the Week: Landings are a little band from my hometown, Brisbane, which automatically means I'm interested in their sounds, but doesn't automatically mean I'm going to like them. There's a stringent test I put all bands through before I declare my interest publicly, which generally means writing something here and now on this blog. "Does their music make me move or does their music move me?" depending on which way I feel like asking the question. Landings passed the test with flying colours in their single 'My Bones', with beats that make me nod and words that make me listen to them. The clip, released this week, is a vision of European beauty, mostly shot in numerous European countries while they recorded some tracks for what I hope will be their debut EP. They describe themselves as 'sad dance music' on their Facebook page, which sounds like everything I like in life so you can just go ahead and declare me a fan now. (Jo Michelmore)
6. Alex Lahey - You Don't Think You Like People Like Me
7. Old Sault - Ghost
8. Seavera - Caving (NEW)
Matt's Pick of the Week: I've been feeling like there's too much music sounding exactly the same as everything else going around at the moment. I really wanted to hear something this week that sounded unique and knocked my socks off and gave me that feeling that only a really creative, new track can. And then along comes this song called 'Caving' by Seavera and I got everything I asked for. So in some totally selfish news you probably don't care about, it's been an awesome week for me. But how about this Seavera? Comprised of Tori Zietsch and Daniel Pinkerton, their track 'Caving' offers some top-notch storytelling and killer vocals wrapped up in lo-fi gorgeousness. You're going to want to hear it over and over again and you're definitely going to want to hear more from this talented outfit. As a fan of the musics that provide what the kids describe as 'all of the feels', Seavera had me in their profile description of, "a self-prescribed mission to make you cry." Can't wait to hear what comes next. (Matt Bond)

Every year, U.S. President proclaims January 16 Religious Freedom Day (Religious Freedom Day), and calls upon all Americans to observe this date related activities in families, in schools and higher educational institutions, business establishments.
On this day 1786 by the General Assembly of Virginia adopted the Regulations on Religious Freedom Virginia (Virginia Statute on Religious Freedom). (Thomas Jefferson) formulated the basis of this law, which was subsequently seen his most outstanding merit.
Thanks Regulation Jefferson had stopped the practice of taxation of citizens by the local clergy, and It also created a civil rights of people to express their religious beliefs without fear of discrimination. Jefferson's position and paved the way and influenced the adoption of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees freedom of religion.
The first ten amendments that make up the Bill of Rights, begins with the provisions of prohibition of a state religion and the provisions on the free exercise of religion.
proclaiming Religious Freedom Day in 2003, President stated that the right to religious belief and expression of that faith in words and deeds "is a right which must have each person. "
Noting that in the world there are many people who do not have such freedoms, the President said: "Working together in the name of religious freedom around the world, we can create a better future for the people of any faith».
4th President of the United States, one of the key authors of the U.S. Constitution, James Madison (James Madison, 16 March 1751 — June 28 1836) said that "the religion of each person must remain a matter of opinion and conscience of every man, and every man has the right to follow it as prescribed. This right is in its nature an inalienable right».
On the third Sunday of January is World Religion Day (World Religion Day), established in 1950.

Loan watch
Jon Obika grabbed a vital goal for Millwall on Tuesday night - against his former loan club Yeovil.
Jon Obika grabbed a vital goal for Millwall on Tuesday night - against his former loan club Yeovil.
The striker, 19, came off the bench after 52 minutes with the Lions, chasing automatic promotion from League One, trailing 1-0 at Huish Park. At the same time, promotion rivals Leeds were on their way to three points at Carlisle.
To add further Spurs spice to the occasion, Jon came head-to-head with his team-mate and Yeovil loanee Steven Caulker, who was at the heart of the home side's defence.
In the end, Jon had the final word as he rose well to flick home a header three minutes into the four minutes of added time to hand his side what could be a vital point.
"It was a bit crazy," reflected Jon this morning. "To come on against my former loan club, to play against Steven and then to score so late.
"We needed something out of the game, especially with Leeds winning. We had to gamble and push forward and it paid off.
"I didn't celebrate out of respect for my former loan club. I loved my time at Yeovil last season and this season and it was a great experience for me, but I was delighted to score and to play my part."
Jon has a knack of scoring key goals. He did exactly the same during his time at Yeovil last season, when winners against Swindon and Northampton went a long way in taking the Glovers away from any threat of relegation.
"It's a completely different type of pressure," said Jon. "Last season was all about getting away from relegation for Yeovil, now we're aiming for promotion at Millwall. There is still pressure, but it's more exciting.
"We all believe we can do it. The spirit is high in the squad and we're all looking forward to our final four games. It will be great experience for me as well."
As for his Spurs team-mate Steven - the pair played 22 times together for Yeovil this season - Jon said they 'gave a nod to each other' as he came on, but after that it was down to business.
"We spoke before and after, but not on the pitch," said Jon. "It was a strange situation, we know each other so well, but it's all about the points out there."
Steven smiled as he recalled the night's events. "Yes, it was strange when he came on," he said. "We didn't really speak to each other - there are no friends out on the pitch!
"I know what Jon's all about, I know his trademark moves and I actually enjoyed the challenge.
"To be fair, he did well and we knew beforehand that he'd be a danger if he came on. I'm just glad he didn't out-jump me for his goal - I'd never have lived that down!"

Fred Kirn
Hi, my name is Fred Kirn and I am the dinosaur on the Board of Directors, not because I'm old, but because I am the last original member and held the distinction of being the Board's first President. I am the father of two young ladies, Amy and Gabrielle, and the spouse of Mary for the last 29 years. Gabrielle, a child with BiPolar and severe anxiety disorders, challenged my education and experience in the mental health field for most of her adolescence and young adulthood. Even with advanced degrees in counseling and 24 years of experience in the field, it was impossible to be your child's therapist and father at the same time, so enter the Federation, with its parent support, training in IDEA and education.
I am retired as the Region VII Field Program Manager for Children and Family Services (CFS), where I oversaw public child welfare and child mental health. Previously I was the Chief of Children's Mental Health, supervising foster care and adoptions, and was a practicing child therapist. I have a Master's Degree in Counseling from the University of Idaho and a B.S. in Psychology from Washington State University.
I am patriotic, being born in Washington D.C. on George Washington's birthday, in the Garfield Memorial Hospital. I enjoy golf, or as some say, am a fanatic about the sport. I do maintain a 10 handicap, which isn't bad for a guy who didn't take it up until his mid-40s. I love the outdoors and do a lot of hiking and backpacking in Idaho, Arizona and Utah. I am an Apple Mac lover and believe everyone should be one too. I have an artistic side, painting and drawing, and photographing the great outdoors, from Yellowstone to Arizona's Superstition Mountains to the beaches of southern California.

Trials in the Late Roman Republic
149 BC to 50 BC
Records of criminal and civil trials offer scholars a wealth of information about legal practices and principles, social history, and the conventions of rhetoric. For Roman historians court records as we know them today do not exist. To fill that gap Michael C. Alexander has tabulated, as exhaustively as possible, the scattered information available about the 391 known trials, criminal and civil, dating from the last century of the Roman Republic (149 BC to 50 BC). For each case Alexander provides as many pieces of legal data as are available, including wherever possible the date of the trial, the charge, the verdict, and the names of all involved: defendant, defense speaker, prosecutor or plaintiff, presiding magistrate, jurors, and witnesses. The entry for each trial also contains citations of relevant ancient sources and modern scholarship. Footnotes make the reader aware of any dubious or controversial points which relate to the formal aspects of the trial. Also included are a general index of names, plus separate indexes by role, and an index of procedures. For Roman historians and scholars in the fields of Roman law and Latin rhetoric, this volume is an invaluable reference work for the study of the judicial system of ancient Rome in the last one hundred years of the Republic. MICHAEL c. ALEXANDER is in the Department of Classics, University of Illinois at Chicago.

It is a pleasure to acknowledge the support, financial and other, which I have received from various sources in working on this project. In 1981 I received a grant from the American Philosophical Society to complete research on this book, and in 1988 a publication subvention from the Campus Research Board of the University of Illinois at Chicago.

I received computer facilities and/or assistance from the Center for Research in Law and Justice at UIC, the Department of Classics at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, the UNC Social Science Statistical Laboratory in the Institute for Research in Social Science, the UIC Computer Center, and especially from Tajudeen Sokoya, UIC Publications Services, who helped me in preparing camera-ready copy.

When it comes to taking a ride, dogs cover the gamut of reactions. My neighbor's terrier, Bailey, absolutely loves car rides. He gets really excited whenever a car pulls up, and if you do take him for a spin, he'll sit calm as a cucumber in your lap, just taking in all the sights and sounds. On the other hand, I also knew another dog a few years ago who would get really nervous in a car and start throwing up all over the upholstery after just a few minutes.
Luckily, it seems that Bosley the French Bulldog doesn't mind car rides, though on this particular occasion it seems he'd rather be left alone. Maybe he wasn't feeling comfortable in his cute little car seat - it doesn't exactly look super comfy. Still, it'll keep him safe, so it's important.
Regardless of what it was that upset him, Bosley makes sure that everyone else knows just how he feels. He throws the most adorable temper tantrum, whining and protesting in a way all Frenchie owners will recognize. He even makes the saddest puppy face for the camera. Don't worry Bosley, it'll be ok!

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'EZ-Flash' started by chance662002, Nov 13, 2007.
When I boot it I get just a black screen...anyone else having this problem?
I have EZ Flash 5 btw.
EDIT: it works perfectly fine here m8
alright thanks, I will try to find a different rom and see if that works.
yeah it will be your rom are you running the latest firmware?
yep I have the latest kernal 1.63
I have tried 3 different sites and it still wont work on my EZ Flash 5...is any patching necessary. All I get is a black screen when it boots :S
Are you trimming the ROM? Try it not trimmed or use a different trimmer. Are you sending it to your card via the Hybrid Tool? If so, don't.
EDIT: Works in CLEAN Mode with FAT16 Kingston 2GB Japan with MicroSD speed set at 4. Using Kernel 1.41.
EDIT: Tested in v1.41 and it boots to the Profile screen then black screens. Patching using the hybrid tool makes this game work or use the "Hybrid" mode in the kernel option. Otherwise update your Kernel to v1.63.
