On Tuesday, before class, the weather was nice enough to meet some friends in the park with their dogs for a picnic dinner. After that, we went for a walk on a fairly flat trail along a stream. Dazzle had a BLAST!!! He was doing great recalls and even found a ball to play with which he carried for almost the entire walk. He and the other dogs were having fun jumping in and out of the water too. I took a few photos, but when I just went to edit them, they were not on my camera!? I have no idea why. I saw them on the camera view screen after I took them, but now they are not on the card. I'm bummed because I think I got a good one of him with his face in the water diving after a stick. I'm wondering if the card got corrupted because it's a 2 GB card and wasn't that full, but I was getting a "card full" error message. I did delete a few images to make room to take the water photos, but apparently that didn't work. I'll get another card as soon as I can.
Yesterday, it was a beautiful 70 degrees and I had to get back out to enjoy it. I have been slowly introducing Dazzle to my bicycle in the basement, though he has never showed any concern about it. So I felt it was time to put it to the test and take him on the trail. It was the first time he was hooked to the bike and he did GREAT! He pulled a few times to the side for interesting smells, but learned that wasn't really working and stopped doing it. He really seemed to enjoy being able to move at his ground covering trot and had a big grin on his face! Other than a few times mentioned below, he completely ignored everyone else on the trail that we passed. People out walking and jogging, other bikes, kids in strollers and on bikes, even a couple horses.
He got a bit excited by 2 wild labrador puppies that we were trying to pass and I had to stop and let them pass us so he didn't get in front of the wheel. He's so darn long bodied, that when he is attached to his harness with the Springer, he could still get his head/front feet in front of the wheel if he really pulls. But that is partly because he was able to spin the springer equipment forward. I have since tightened the bolts so it shouldn't move. I also had him hooked to the rear loop of the pulling harness (between his ribs and tail) and after that, I moved the snap to the attachment that was closer to his ribs (where a normal harness attachment is.) So that should prevent him from being able to get in front.
We only did 1.5 miles which was the short bike trail plus the trail around the ranger building by the lake. Since it was pavement, I didn't want him to wear the pads off his feet. In the middle of the 1 mile bike trail, we stopped at the river and I let him play there. He even got some passing walkers to throw his stick for him when they came down to the shore to look for skipping stones. I tossed his stick in a swimming depth section and he did try to get it, but wasn't quite sure about swimming so he let it float down river. Then he got out, ran along the shore and got it from the shallow part :-)
We did have a minor incident at the end of the ride. A little kid was throwing food into the lake for the ducks. Dazzle couldn't resist and did get in front of the bike before I could stop. He yelped and held his front paw up for a bit, but I checked it and didn't see or feel any injury. After a little bit of limping as we were stopped there, he put it down and seemed fine. We continued the short ride to the van. When he got in the van, I saw a spot of red on the side of his paw at the top of the pad and checked it again. He had scraped it a bit and it was just oozing blood, not really bleeding. I put a bandage on it with antibiotic cream, but that seemed to bother him more than the injury. I took it off when we got home and after a bit of licking, he was back to ignoring it.
I went back out later that afternoon to the training center with him to work on some freestyle, but for some reason the player/CD that worked just fine at home was having issues when I tried it there. We played around a bit anyway, till he bumped/scraped his foot going after a ball and started limping and licking at it. So I called it quits. He's fine on it today, running in the yard, etc.
On the way home, I stopped at Walmart and picked up a pouch for the front of my bike (bigger than the little fanny pack I had straped there to carry a water bottle and folding bowl) so I have room to also carry a small first aid kit and my camera. I'm hoping the tightening I did to the springer will prevent any future problems (that and the memory of what happened when he tried to get in front.) So hopefully I won't need to use the kit. But it's a good thing to have. Especially if we try the much longer bike trail at some point. I also got a better seat for my bike. Dazzle was pulling the bike just enough that I could remain seated and help peddle while going up the small hills, so it wasn't hard on my knees like I thought it would be. When we weren't on an uphill section, I was mostly hitting the brakes from time to time to keep him from getting too fast. No peddling needed. I think this is going to be a great way to exercise him till it gets too hot.
Last night a front came through and it's back in the 50's and I'm staying inside. Probably better biking weather, I know, but I'm going to let his foot heal a bit more before we go out for another ride. I'm REALLY hoping it will be warmer than what they are predicting for this weekend. I'm going to be helping lay tracks for a tracking test on Sunday near Dayton. I have to go up on Saturday too to figure out where the tracks will be laid, get instructions, etc. For some reason they feel the need to start the day up there at dawn! Since it's about an hour and a half away, it's going to be a couple very early mornings. But I think it will help me see what I need to teach Dazzle with regards to tracking, because I have never seen a tracking test. I'm also looking forward to meeting others in my area that do tracking.

If you look at nature, every organism has it's role. In modern times, we've become the exception.
From early on, we are taught to conform, to blend in. After starting over at zero financially, after what many would consider a failed acting career, Adam Roa experienced a series of events that eventually led him to the moment of enough is enough. He started to carve his own unique path.
Since then he has gone on to become an artist, creator, and an inspiration in helping to assemble the new paradigm.

It's a good peony season here in the hollow, beginning with the old 'Pink Charm' John brought from the University, first given him by Mrs. Hereford for the Carr's Hill garden back in the 70's. It's a single form with large golden stamens and a brazenly stinky scent! It's followed closely by the classic 'Festiva Maxima', many people's favorite, with blood-red flecks in the middle of their double icy hearts and an innocent lemony fragrance.
These early peonies are said to bloom best for the warmer climates. Very hardy in their home countries of Japan and China, Wyman says: "Able to withstand temperatures well below zero, it is especially cherished where winters are long, cold, hard and snowy." But I have always thought of it as a belle of southern gardens. Another early one is from the old Blenheim estate near Monticello, a double deep rose-magenta with a very sweet scent. Peonies are said to often out-live the ones who planted them.
Now that the Festivas are beginning to tatter away, 'Sarah Bernhardt' (very showy with burgundy stripes) and 'Gardenia' (purest white) are beginning to fatten their buds. Mild weather has extended all the bloom times and with these two later ones, we should go into June, barring, of course heavy rains, wind or hail.
But it's been a beneficent spring and we rarely have hail in the hollow. After all that flowering, the great beech has produced a few sprays of nuts. I hope it will bear every year now and feed the foxes, turkeys, jays, and deer.
The Regale lilies have budded with no emergency sheets needed for a final late frost, a first. Lightening bugs are beginning to rise out of the meadow and the frogs begin to croak in the evening.The creek rushes on, still running high. I think of our poor fellow citizens in California vainly painting their lots green.
Our clear nights have been cool with spectacular skies. Not much light pollution out here (although we occasionally see the glow of Charlottesville to the east), but even though our horizon is narrowed to a leafy oculus by the hills that surround us, what we see when we look up we see pure and bright. The winter constellation Orion no longer sets to the west. The moon is waxing (John gave blood and I'm starting seeds) and Venus is the evening star. The Big Dipper wheels to the north, but we're too far down to ever see the Little Dipper.

Germanys IBC Solar is expanding its footprint in Asia with new projects in Japan and India.
The PV company is entering the Japanese market with a number of large-scale PV plants set to be constructed in the coming months.
At the same time, IBC will realize another large-scale plant in India.
In Japan, the company will begin construction of a 2.3 MW solar park in Sakura, north of Tokyo, in May. The following month it will begin construction on a 1.6 MW solar park northwest of Tokyo. The projects will be the first in a range of large-scale projects that IBC is developing in Japan.
As engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor on the 1.6 MW project, IBC is providing IBC PolySol 255 CS modules with a 25-year linear power performance warranty. A remote monitoring system designed by IBC will keep track of the energy yields of the park. Grid connection is planned for September 2014.
As one of the oldest PV players worldwide, IBC Solar will bring invaluable experience and expertise to the Japanese photovoltaic market, said IBC founder and CEO Udo Möhrstedt. Our experience in planning and constructing plants and our solid financial structure allow our customers to get financing with local banks. This project is once again an example of our bankability, in this case with one of Japans largest banks.
IBC is developing its project business activities in Japan through its two main project business lines, EPC services for third parties as well as developing and structuring its own large-scale projects in partnership with Japanese companies.
The company said the Japanese projects were driving its international growth strategy forward.
IBC also announced it was realizing its first megawatt-scale PV plant in India as an EPC contractor in cooperation with its local subsidiary. The 5.5 MW park is located in Bhadla, in the Indian state of Rajasthan, close to the Pakistani border.
The company said it ensured continuous quality control on the project, including final certification by Germanys TÜV Rheinland. IBC has already realized five projects in India with a total capacity of 18 MW.
"The project in Bhadla is our first time working together with IBC Solar and its local subsidiary, which we know from their previous activities in the Indian market," said Shreeyash Bangur, director of LNB Renewable Energy.
"We decided to co-operate with a German EPC contractor who could offer us reliable bank guarantees and optimal project management whilst having the necessary knowledge of our business culture."

I've been wanting one of these for a while now they make such a super personal gift.
Recently I was given the opportunity to create my very own photobook with Superphoto. Superphoto offer a range of products utilising your pictures to create great gifts and memento's. You can choose to use your pics on cards, mugs, calenders, on canvas or in a photobook with your choice of cover making it completely customisable to you! Perfect gift idea of what hey!
With prices from £3.92 and shipping priced from £3.99 it's not really much to get your treasured memories put onto something fun and practical. Delivered in a time frame of upto 8 days too although I wouldn't advise leaving until the last minute (like I do) if buying as a gift!
Now you all know I am the worst with anything technical, easily confused and unable to do the most basic tasks so needless to say I was worried about creating my own photobook. Would I be able to make a decent one? Answer: Yes I was and really easily too! Result hey decent prices and an easy to use if I can anyone can!
Choosing what I wanted in my photobook was the hardest part. There are soooo many options to choose from. Spoilt for choice? I'd say so. You can literally have your book designed exactly how you want it with so many different customisable options to choose from to make it completely unique to you. Trust me when I say it took me hours and I mean literally hours. Swapping and changing different things from layout to background, should I add text or patterns? Even the front and back covers! I was there pretty much all night I was like a kid in a candy shop before I was finally happy with what I had chosen. Then all I had to do was wait.
|front cover
|back cover
Verdict: What I didn't realise (or even contemplate) was exactly how it would look when it arrived. I know I ordered a photobook but I still kinda expected an album of sorts?!?! Could not be more wrong! It is an actual book like duh! Of course it would be. A hardback cover exactly the way I chose it front and back. The pages feel like high quality glossy paper perfect for the pictures. Oh, and the pictures considering they were taken with mobile phones better quality than I thought they turn out. I was so pleased with my choice pictures, patterns all although with hindsight I wish I had chosen to put some text on the pages. Either some witty comments, or dates and ages. But it goes without saying that I got exactly what I ordered and it does look fab it really does! I am actually placing orders for my sisters for Christmas sshhhhh! don't tell them though…….
So what do you think? Pretty great idea and a really good way of treasuring all your memories or to give as a gift.
*Disclaimer: I created my photobook foc for the purpose of this review but all thoughts and opinions are my own*

Excel takes it all off:
from Excel Saga
This is a Mateba autorevolver. That's right, it's a revolver that uses recoil to automatically cock the gun and rotate the cylinder. It also has an under-slung barrel, so that the bottom chamber is teh one fired instead of the top chamber.
It's distictive enough looking that it shows up SF movies on occasion. Notably, Togusa in various Ghost in the Shell incarnations carries a fictional future version:
as does Wash in Firefly and Serenity (in his right hand here, if you look close).
The predecessorof the Mateba would be the Webley Fosbury Automatic Revolver. This was a design from the very early 20th century when automatic pistols were new and manufacturers were experimenting with different ways of makingthem more reliable.
This was also used in a SF film, carried by Sean Connery in the notoriously bad film Zardoz:
(You can see the distinctive grooves on the cylinder if you look close).
Coraline opens tomorrow, so in honor of that here's "Slow Bob in the Lower Dimensions":
This is a short film directed by Henry Selick, the same guy who directed The Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline. I can actually remember seeing this way back in 1991 when it aired on MTV's cartoon anthology show Liquid Television, though I only found out recently that Selick was responsible for it. The imagery stuck with me, and I was always disappointed that there were never any folllow-ups.
Excel is not very good at directing traffic:

Every aspect of the Kontra has been critically designed and engineered; all components carefully selected and developed to render a truly high end experience. 10 years in the understanding of 2 critical philosophies - Q-balance technology and subwoofer / satellite combinations, have given the Kontra its unique look, shape, feel and sound. Look no further - True high end sound has finally breached the affordable price-point.
The Kontra is now standard with both subwoofers active having a powerful and versatile, yet precise digital power module, giving superb control to the low frequencies and allowing tunability in even difficult rooms. Learn More >
The Karma is Lithos Acoustics' new flagship speaker. The Karma will redefine your concepts of bass precision and midrange transparency. It is designed to be totally musical and natural in its presentation of music. We have stripped away all the hype, the market forces and the terminology from high end audio and we are left with only what truly matters - the pure physics of loudspeaker design. Pure in its form, function and ultimate result. The Karma is music - not sound. It is soul - not ego. Coming Soon ... Learn More >

Sounders Insider
Dempsey excused from USA duty
Clint Dempsey said yesterday that he would have a conversation about whether he should travel to join the U.S. national team in New England for its Tuesday friendly with Brazil, or stay with the Sounders, who have a key MLS match Saturday at San Jose.
Apparently Klinsmann agreed with coach Sigi Schmid's concern that a player just back from a hamstring injury probably shouldn't be welcomed back with two games in four days.
Here's the news from U.S. Soccer:
U.S. Men's National Team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann has made three changes to the roster that defeated Peru on Sept. 4 in Washington, D.C., adding Toronto FC midfielder Michael Bradley, Chicago Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson and Stanford University forward Jordan Morris. The three additions bring the U.S. roster to 25 players leading up to the team's friendly against five-time World Cup champion Brazil, presented by Liberty Mutual Insurance, on Tuesday, Sept. 8 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass.
Along with the three additions, defender Matt Besler and goalkeeper William Yarbrough have rejoined their clubs.
"We were impressed with Matt Besler this past week," said Klinsmann. "We definitely saw what we needed to see from him as we prepare for the Mexico clash and Sporting KC badly wanted him back for Wednesday, so we agreed to send him home."
Though forward Clint Dempsey was originally scheduled to join the team ahead of the Brazil friendly, the decision was made to have Dempsey remain with his club team Seattle Sounders FC as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury.
"I had a good conversation with Clint," Klinsmann said. "He's still not 100 percent and we agreed it's best to let him stay with Seattle to allow him to continue making progress ahead of next month's match against Mexico."
Kickoff for Tuesday's friendly against Brazil is set for 8 p.m. ET and the match will be broadcast live on ESPN2, UniMas and Univision Deportes Network. Fans can also follow the match live on Twitter @ussoccer.
GOALKEEPERS (3): Brad Guzan (Aston Villa), Tim Howard (Everton), Sean Johnson (Chicago Fire)
DEFENDERS (8): Ventura Alvarado (Club America), John Brooks (Hertha Berlin), Geoff Cameron (Stoke City), Greg Garza (Atlas), Omar Gonzalez (LA Galaxy), Michael Orozco (Club Tijuana), Tim Ream (Fulham), Jonathan Spector (Birmingham City)
MIDFIELDERS (8): Alejandro Bedoya (Nantes), Michael Bradley (Toronto FC), Joe Corona (Veracruz), Mix Diskerud (New York City FC), Jermaine Jones (New England Revolution), Alfredo Morales (FC Ingolstadt), Danny Williams (Reading), DeAndre Yedlin (Tottenham Hotspur)
FORWARDS (6): Jozy Altidore (Toronto FC), Aron Johannsson (Werder Bremen), Jordan Morris (Stanford), Bobby Wood (Union Berlin), Andrew Wooten (SV Sandhausen), Gyasi Zardes (LA Galaxy)

11th Annual Spring Benefit
Thank you for helping us raise more than $2 million dollars
For everyone who celebrated with us during our 11th Annual Spring Benefit—thank you!!! Our Spring Benefit theme this year was "Declaration of Hope," and your presence was a declaration that said to our kids, "I believe in you, and I believe that God has the power to help you do great things."
Having raised more than $2 million in donations and pledges during this year's Spring Benefit will help us love 1,180 kids—mind, body and soul. The outpouring of support will also allow us to serve nearly 100 more kids this fall, as we literally and figuratively take our students by the hand and walk alongside them—from the time they enroll in our program until they're adults walking independently with the Lord.
By The Hand would also like to extend our gratitude to the Women's Auxiliary Board, table hosts and choir—for making the evening a success.
Please enjoy and share the photos and videos of the Spring Benefit. And again, thank you for being part of our circle of hope.

It doesn't matter if your favorite spring shoe is an espadrille wedge, a strappy sandal or a casual flip-flop, you need to have pretty toes when you are showing them off in great shoes! A DIY pedicure is simple and affordable…so no excuses! Get busy and your toes will be ready for spring in no time!
How to give yourself the perfect pedicure:
Your pedicure begins the night before you paint your toe nails! Generously rub your feet with a thick body cream or foot callous cream. Put on socks and sleep with them on. In the morning your skin will be soft and primed for smoothing.
- Let feet soak in a tub of warm water for a few minutes.
- Remove old polish with an acetone-free polish remover. Even if you are not wearing nail polish currently, do this step. You'll remove excess oils and your polish will stay on better.
- Trim toe nails. Shape nails with a nail file. Avoid filing the sides of your nails as this can lead to ingrown toenails. Gently buff the tops of your nails to smooth the surface.
- Gently rub dry, rough skin with a handful of moistened sea salt. It's a great exfoliator. A pumice stone or a foot file works great too. I like to add a bit of liquid soap to a foot file and really get the soles of my feet clean.
- Push back cuticles while feet are still damp. Trim cuticles on sides of nail bed if necessary.
- Dry feet. Apply a base coat. A base coat is clear and will help prevent your nail from becoming stained by the polish.
- Apply 2 coats of your favorite bright spring color.
- Apply a quick dry top coat.
- When your nails are dry, apply a rich lotion to keep your skin soft and glowing!
- Enjoy your pretty feet! Once dry, slip on your favorite spring shoes and go show off your pretty pedi!
The hottest nail colors for spring:
Look for brights like these shades from Zoya. Forget the subtle! Go for bold! For an extra fun twist, layer 2 colors to create your own personalized shade. The orange layered over red would make a great mango color! Go crazy, experiment and have fun with it!
What is your favorite pedicure color for spring?

By Lise Alves, Senior Contributing Reporter
SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL – Amidst rumors that Brazil's aircraft manufacturer, Embraer, was being sold to Boeing, Brazilian authorities are scrambling to dissipate fears among both Brazilians and foreign partners who have contract with the multi-million-dollar company of a takeover.
"Embraer is symbolic for the country, more or less like Petrobras," Brazil's President Michel Temer stated in an interview to business daily Valor Economico published on Monday.
"The basic idea is this: no loss of control of Embraer either by the direct route or by the indirect route," reiterated the president assuring that control of the company will continue in the hands of the federal government.
According to analysts, the Brazilian government has tentatively agreed on selling some of its shares in the company, but is unwilling to give up what is known as the 'golden share', which gives the Brazilian government veto power over strategic decisions about Embraer's defense operations.
On Thursday Brazil's Defense Minister Raul Jungmann said that the transfer of control of Embraer to Boeing is not on the negotiating table.
"We have the concern and contractual commitment to maintain control and confidentiality in technology transfer developed by Saab and jointly (with Embraer)," said Jungmann to representatives of the Swedish company Saab, which is a partner in the development of the Gripen NG fighter with Embraer.
During the meeting with Saab president, Hakan Buskhe, Minister Jungmann assured Swedish officials that any advancement in negotiations between the Brazilian and U.S. manufacturers would be relayed to the Swedish partners first hand.
"If the Embraer-Boeing partnership occurs, we will have to build safeguards that will need to be approved by Saab," said the minister to journalists after the meeting.
These safeguards, according to officials include state of the art technology transferred by Saab to Embraer. "It is not acceptable for a technology developed through one Embraer partnership be given to another and vice versa," added Jungmann.
The Swedish executive also spoke to journalists after the meeting, stating that he came to Brazil to see for himself the progress of negotiations between Embraer and Boeing and was satisfied that the current discussions between the Brazilian and U.S. companies would not hurt Saab. "There is no interest in ending the partnership with Brazil," concluded the executive.
An Embraer-Boeing merger discussions began after Bombardier and Airbus announced a partnership in October.

text: hippo 106 Report post Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) Hey guys, as we all know, a knew bypass is out (thanks to Sprux). Since this bypass requires a bit mor effort than before, i thought a tutorial for you would be nice. Before i start: do not pm about help for this bypass! I will only answer to questions or problems here in this thread! What do we need: VMWare(or another laptop, pc, w/e) Visual Studio 2013 or 2015 ( i use 2015) Auto-Updating EMS MSCRC from Chubzz Detours new bypass. Download here Note: I will use the names computer1 and computer2. Computer1 is your vmware, laptop w/e where you wont hack on! It will function as a hoster for the bypass! Computer2 will be your laptop w/e where you will later hack on! Tutorial Step 1 Install VMware. There are some good tutorials in youtube! Create a new virtual machine. If you need a .iso, just use google. Im using win 7 64 bit on my VMware. Its up to which OS you prefer. Install Maplestory on your VMware. Turn off the firewall on your VMware! Step 2 Install Visual Studio 2013 or 2015. Im currently using 2015 so the pictures will be from there. Note: Im using a german version of visual studio. Since i dont know how its called in the english version, i will provide screenshots! Note 2: This tutorial is made with visual studio 2015! If you are using 2013, you could get other errors or problems! Step 3 Extract the .rar file from the bypass. You will now see some folders and files. Go to the Release folder and delete following files: XignCode Client.dll and XignCode Host.exe. (Why do we do this? We do this, because in this way we can check if the building of the bypass source was succesfull!) Open now the file XignCode3 Bypass.sln Some windows will pop up. Just press always yes. Your windows should now look like this: Spoiler Step 4 Before we can build the source, we have to edit some things, to make the bypass work for us. Open in visual studio the file: client.cpp Spoiler Search now for the following area: Spoiler Change the 192.168.1.44 to the ipv4 adress from computer1. You can find this adress via cmd and ipconfig Now open the file named main.cpp. You can find it under: XignCode Host->source Spoiler Search for the area: if (!XignCode::Initialize(L"C:\\MapleStory (Europe)")) Here you have to put in the path of your maplestory folder on computer1. (Note: Paths are always given with \\ , not \) Now open the file: XignCode.cpp. You can find it under XignCode Host->XignCode. (Its right under main.cpp) Look for this area: std::wstring xigncode_directory = maplestory_directory + L"\\XignCode3"; Change the XignCode3 to XignCode Step 5 now we changed all things that we need. so we can build now the source. To build the source just press F5. Errors after Errors and how to solve them! Q: Oh no! When i try to build the source, a window pops up and tells me there are some errors and the source cant be build! A: If this window pops up just press no and you will probably see this: Spoiler You wil get something like: back_inserter' is not a member of 'std' To solve this do a doubleclick on the first error. The file XignWriter.cpp will now open. At the top you will see the line: #include "XignWriter.hpp". Just add under this line following: #include "iterator". Now do a doubleclick on the second error. It will open the file: XignWriter.hpp. At the top you will see following line: #include <Windows.h>. Under this line you add this: #include <iterator> Now press 5. The debugging is now succesfull and you will see a new XignCode Host.exe in your Release folder. Q: Alright, i got this. But the .dll is still missing! A: To get the .dll just do rightclick on XignCode Client and click on create. You will get now some errors like this: Spoiler Download this .rar: Detours.rar extract it on your destop Do a rightclick on XignCode Client and click on properties at the bottom. click now on this Spoiler Now click on the word with include in it. On the right side, you will see an arrow. click on him Spoiler click now on edit a new window will appear. In this windows you will a folder symbol. click on it click on the button with the 3 dots do a leftclick on the Detours folder and click chose folder It should now look like this: Spoiler press on okay now click on the this point: Spoiler Do the same steps as above now go the point: C/C++ click now on this point like in the picture . there will be again an arrow. click on it Spoiler click on edit under WIN32 add this line: _WINSOCK_DEPRECATED_NO_WARNINGS It should look like this: Spoiler now rightclick on XignCode Client and click on create. You will still get 2 errors, but you can ignore them Now you will see a new .dll in the Release folder Step 6 rename the XignCode Client.dll to following: x3.xem (Do a backup from your old x3.xem file, so if the bypass get patched, you can get a clean file again) place this file in the XignCode folder(maplestory folder) on computer2! place the XignCode Host.exe on computer1! Step 7 follow the instruction from this Thread: HERE!!!! Step 8 start the XignCode Host.exe on computer1. A new windows will pop up. Also the XignCode-Splash will pop up! Spoiler Now open maplestory on cimputer2. Following windows will pop up: Spoiler go ingame. now you have to wait until these lines will be appear. Normally you have to wait 1-4 minutes. Spoiler Now you can start CE and start hacking I hope you like the tutorial Credits: Sprux for the bypass! xScriptZx for his amazing help! Chubzz for the crc!

Last week we reported an Anchorman-themed bar would pop up over two weeks in Carlton.
Unfortunately the event has been shut down before it even started. Paramount Pictures, the film studio behind the 2004 film, contacted event organisers late last week regarding breach of copyright.
Chris Amon of Bottoms Up Bartenders says Paramount wanted to charge "a hefty fee" for the rights to use the Anchorman branding, which made the event "unfeasible".
That escalated quickly. We mean, that really got out of hand fast..
Amon says a pop-up bar will still go ahead at the Porcelain Tea Parlour in Carlton, but without any Ron Burgundy-specific references. There'll still be a scent machine pumping out a smell one could describe as a "rich mahogany" – but probably wouldn't for legal reasons.
Details are still being finalised, but the pop-up bar will take place at Porcelain Tea Parlour, 149 Elgin Street, Carlton from October 13 to 15, and October 20 to 22, from 6pm to late. More information here.

Falcons Soar Past Bruins
Last night the Springfield Falcons and the Providence Bruins met for the fifth of ten times on the season, this time in Springfield. The Falcons were coming off of an overtime loss the night before and were looking for the two points. They certainly did not disappoint their fans in front of the biggest crowd so far this season.
"I felt the energy right away. Then Amadio getting in an early fight definitely helps and we got a powerplay goal early," Head Coach, Brad Larsen, said of the biggest crowd of the season.
The Falcons extended their streak of scoring at least one powerplay goal to seven games when they capitalized on the first powerplay of the game. Bruins goalie Michael Hutchinson came up big on a save but would let in a goal later on the same play. Nick Drazenovic got his first assist of the night as he passed the puck right in front of the net for Captain Ryan Craig to put the puck behind Hutchinson.
Less than a minute later, tensions boiled over between the two teams. Bobby Robbins of Providence and Greg Amadio of Springfield did not even bother to square off before the fists started flying. The pair did not manage to stay on their feet long before they fell, still trying to land punches. The officials struggled to finally get the two players separated and off the ice.
The Bruins tied it up at 1 on a shot by Torey Krug from the top of the face-off circle, but that was as close as they would get. With about three and a half minutes to go in the first, Cody Goloubef took a hard shot from the blue line that found the back of the net for his first goal of the season. He was playing in only his second game since November after having missed two months to a wrist injury.
"I was out for awhile, it gets frustrating. You just have to stay with and stay positive," Goloubef said of his time injured. "Now that I'm back, I'm just trying to get my legs back under me and take off."
The second frame was much quieter than the first, but Jonathan Audy-Marchessault seemed determined to get onto the score sheet. Less than two minutes in, the officials were reviewing a play to see if Audy-Marchessault managed to get the puck over the line. Although he was not successful, his first goal of the game would come at the very end of the second period. Bobby Robbins was assessed a double minor for high sticking with just about a minute left. Then, with about twenty seconds to go in the period, Audy-Marchessault lifted the puck over the goalie's right shoulder and into the net. Drazenovic earned his third assist of the game as Springfield went up 3-1.
The Bruins made a strong effort in the third period to come back, putting up 13 shots. But Springfield goalie, Allen York, stood tall and smothered the puck to keep from giving up rebounds. He made a number of difficult saves look effortless.
"He didn't face a ton of shots, but he made some good saves. There were some deceiving ones," Larsen said of goalie Allen York. "He made it look easy. He was finding the puck real well in traffic."
The Falcons went ahead 4-1 a little more than halfway through the third period when Audy-Marchessault had his second goal of the night. Once again, Audy-Marchessault went top shelf after Sean Collins passed him the puck from behind the net. Drazenovic had another assist, notching one on each of the four Springfield goals last night.
Despite a late effort in the third, when Wes O'Neill managed to make the score 4-2, the Falcons had no trouble hanging on to get the two points. The Bruins are back at it in Providence against Manchester today. The Falcons have the day off, but head up to take on Manchester on Tuesday.

ISLAMABAD, May 07 (APP): Minister for Information, Broadcasting
and National Heritage Senator Pervaiz Rashid said on Saturday that
defeat of Zac Goldsmith in London's mayoral election had deflated
the balloon of Imran Khan's so-called popularity abroad.
The minister, in a statement here, said,"Pakistanis in London by voting for their compatriot Sadiq Khan have not only proven their patriotism but also exposed the hollow claims of Imran Khan's popularity among the expatriots."
The victory of Sadiq Khan and defeat of Zac Goldsmith had raised 'Ro Imran Ro' (weep Imran weep) slogan even in the United Kingdom capital, he said.

I've made it through the half point of InkTober. Wow! this has been a challenge for me. For those who don't know what InkTober is, it a month challenge of drawing only using ink. You can draw anything or follow the prompts provided, but they must be in ink.
For me the challenge is not making a mistake when drawing. Am still a rookie when it comes to drawing and drawing in ink is a whole different ball game. You got to be confident that your next stroke with the pen is the one you want.
So for me, before I put ink to paper, I listen to a few tunes and clear my mine. After one or two song, I do a quick pen sketch on a piece of paper that is just trash. Just to get an idea of the lines and shapes I'll be drawing. Then I go my sketch pad and start drawing awhile I continue to listen to my music.
For this challenge I used the suggested prompts provided by InkTober. Here are a few of the drawings.

FINDLAY — Findlay police are investigating an armed robbery at the Circle K at 100 Crystal Avenue.
It happened just before 3 p.m. Sunday.
According to a news release, a male suspect entered the Circle K gas station. Using what appeared to be a knife, he held the knife to the side of the attendant and demanded she open the register. The attendant complied, and the male stole an undisclosed amount of money. The suspect left towards the south on foot. Responding officers were unable to locate the suspect.
The suspect is described as a Hispanic male, approximately 5'6" with a medium build. The suspect was wearing blue jeans, a black coat, and a gray stocking cap.
The incident remains under investigation.

Have a small setup and tried about everything save for a hot plate. Usually takes 14-18 castings to get my Mountainmolds 475-440 single cavity mold to reach temp.
Tried dipping the corner, dipping the sprue plate tip, laying block inverted on the pot lip to heat the sprue plate first or slip a corner in lead with the sprue touching the pot lip to warm up both simultaneously. I would've thought it'd take fewer castings to warm up a 1x mold with such a big boolit. Just nature of the beast? Not a big deal, just a mild annoyance.

British actor Colin Redgrave stars as the eloquent Williams, a successful and open Johannesburg theatre producer/director whose home became a center of gay and politically leftist life in the 1940's through the '60s.

More Tales Of The City: Nothing more or less than six hours of fully outrageous coincidence with some of the most charming characters. A 1970's visual nostalgia of glittering and addictive comedy. That has developed an almost cult like following. The lovelorn residents of 28 Barbary Lane include the bewildered but aspiring Mary Ann Singleton; the libidinous Brian Hawkins; Mona Ramsey, still in a sixties trance; Michael 'Mouse' Toliver in bright eyed pursuit of Mr. Right; and their marijuana growing landlady, the indefatigable Mrs. Madrigal. Thrown into the mix you have other exciting characters such a Mother Mucca an elderly madam of a Brothel; DeDe Day who is expecting twins (but they are not her husbands) and her mother Frannie who is inducted into a sex club for women over 60 called Pinus. It's an addictive miniseries of light amusement and mystery all dressed up in 1970's kitsch. With the right balance of major and minor characters, as well as subplots mixed into the sprawl to provide a welcome detour from the major doings.

Have you ever had a trackball that was sticking or wouldn't't move easily? Proper cleaning and care could extend the life of you trackball. Hopefully this will result in less down time and certainly no grief. Follow these simple steps to prolong the life of your UI and trackball.
1. Never touch the trackball or any part of the user interface with gel on your hands. When the gel dries it sticks to dust or dirt and breaks down and makes its way into all the hard to reach places. Making cleaning difficult and could cause permanent damage your UI.
2. If you trackball can be removed, you can easily remove the ball and clean the rollers inside. (Depending on the system, you may have to open the UI to access the trackball) Most trackballs have 2 to 3 or more rollers inside. Use alcohol or any approved electrical cleaner to clean the rollers in all directions making sure they are spinning freely.
3. If you cannot remove the trackball, at least make sure you blow out any dust that may be hiding inside your control panel. This not only saves your trackball but your whole UI. Electronics hate being dusty.
Cleaning your trackball and user interface will make your life and your engineer's life better. If you wouldn't't work on your personal computer with gel covered fingers why would you do it at work? Plus, clean fingers help you type faster!

"My heart goes out to the people of Japan who have suffered terrible consequences of an earthquake and tsunami with the loss of homes, communities, livelihoods and lives," said Ray Johnson, MS, SE, PE, FHPS, CHP, in the standing-room only session. "And on top of that, they are hearing they may have been exposed to radiation. What a terrible burden to put on them in the face of everything they've had to deal with."
Johnson, the vice president of training programs at Dade Moeller Radiation Safety Academy and director of the Radiation Safety Counseling Institute, explained that during Japan's recent crisis, the media focused on the nuclear incident – which has had no radiation-related fatalities that he can determine – rather than the thousands of deaths and missing persons caused by the tsunami and earthquake. Despite the very real disaster created by these natural events, the public faced media coverage that often included graphic pictures; reports of tainted water and food; allegations of TEPCO withholding information; injured workers; huddled evacuees; comparisons to Chernobyl; and more.
"This is what the world was seeing – the world that doesn't understand radiation the way some technical folks would," he said.
While the images and stories surrounding Fukushima's radiation releases were grim, Johnson said he expected that "it's unlikely anyone will die as a result of radiation from Fukushima, whether among workers or in the members of the public."
The Effect of Fear
The public's radiation fears may linger long after the technical issues of the Fukushima crisis have been resolved, Johnson said. Already, people from the Fukushima precinct are being discriminated against – children are being turned away from schools, trucks from Fukushima are denied gas, hotels are turning away guests and more. On a larger scale, people are leaving Japan, tourism is down and there's a stigma on Japanese products.
"Fear, anxiety and stress can kill people maybe even more so [than] radiation," Johnson explained.
While fear itself is not inherently bad – it is a survival mechanism that encourages us to pay attention, take action and protect ourselves – the problem is when people (or the media) insist on asking the "what if" questions rather than focusing on "what is." Imagining the worst-case scenario creates fear, but that fear is not based on reality.
It also feeds into what Johnson calls the culture of fear. "Fear sells," he said. "Fear makes money. It's a fantastic marketing tool … Stories promote fears. The media knows we're very good about stories and very bad about numbers."
Johnson stressed that it's not helpful to simply tell people to not be afraid, especially since most fears about radiation stem from the fact that people don't understand it and can't physically see how it works or how it harms people. Not asking "what if" and approaching the risks from a logical, informed standpoint is more helpful.
Johnson outlined his tools for evaluating radiation risks, or the steps from cause to effect:
- What are the properties (form and quantity) of RAM?
- Where is it located?
- How is it contained?
- How will it move in the environment?
- What are the exposure conditions?
- How much energy is deposited in our body?
- What doses are known to produce effects?
"It's actually very difficult to seriously harm someone with radiation," Johnson said. "That's not a message you're likely to hear through the media."

NASCUS Partnering with CUNA on Comprehensive Bank Secrecy Act Training This Week
Oct. 31, 2011 - The seventh annual NASCUS/CUNA System-Wide Bank Secrecy Act (BSA)/Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Conference is this week in San Diego, California. This conference is the largest credit union specific BSA/AML conference and brings together regulators, credit unions, leagues and other compliance professionals for three days of comprehensive discussion of the issues.
Expert faculty featured at this year's conference include regulators from NCUA, North Carolina's Credit Union Division, FinCEN and OFAC. For the first time, this year will also feature presentations by the Department of Homeland Security's Financial Crimes and Immigrations divisions. The industry perspective will be represented by experts from credit unions that demonstrate how both modestly sized and larger institutions manage daily compliance. In addition, experienced attorneys and consultants will walk attendees through numerous nuanced areas of BSA/AML highlighting the key issues all examiners and compliance officers should understand.
Attendees are learning about the latest rules and guidance issued by FinCEN and OFAC regarding compliance. Regulators are discussing their examination expectations, and another session will focus on the past year's enforcement actions against domestic financial institutions. The latest trends in fraud will be identified and developments in wire transactions will be reviewed.
Several sessions will focus on a variety of complex issues related to serving resident and non-resident foreign nationals and their dependents. Breakout sessions will focus on issues related to serving businesses as members, preparing for examinations, shared branching, and CUSOs. Additional hot topics include developing a practical procedure for conducting investigations to determine whether to file a SAR, trends in risk assessments, international transactions, and much more.
If you have questions about NASCUS/CUNA BSA training, contact Brian Knight at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Booking a hotel can be a tricky experience, especially if you are not familiar with the area you will be staying in. You could also end paying a lot more than you intended to, thanks to hidden fees. So here are some tips to help you find the perfect hotel at a price that is right for you.
Prior to beginning a hotel search, try thinking about what accommodations you want and can afford. Figure out if the hotel's location is more important than its price or if you limited to hotels under a certain price range. Also consider whether you need one that has items like spas and fitness centers or just a beautiful view.
If you are traveling with pets, be sure to select hotels that have good accommodations for them. This is especially true if you are planning on an extended stay. A good hotel that allows pets should have amenities for them. These might include and groomer, doggy day care and special walking areas.
One way to save money when traveling is to search for a hotel that offers a free continental breakfast. This can save you a lot of money if you are staying for a week. Many of the top hotel chains offer large continental breakfasts consisting of breakfast meats, pastries and drinks.
Always look for online deals before booking a hotel room. You might not learn from the person on the phone that you can actually get great discounts over the Internet, instead. It is your duty to perform due diligence. There are many travel websites that offer discounts.
Do not feel silly when it comes to asking a hotel's guest representative some questions. If you are looking for quiet and relaxation, you need to ask ahead to be sure you will get it. For instance, is the hotel too close to an airport? Is there construction going on nearby. Know this before booking with a hotel.
If you want to book a good couples massage, you should not wait until the last minute. Many of the top masseuses out there are booked far ahead of time.
Pack your GPS and running clothes while on vacation. Try enjoying an early jog at your new destination. This can be a great way to stay in shape while seeing some of the local scenery. Running down city streets or country roads can give you a fresh view of the place you are visiting.
Find out what perks are offered on hotel club floors before deciding the extra premium isn't worth the cost. At some hotels, staying on a club floor can mean benefits like free food and even full meals. Factor up the potential expenses of paying for those on their own, and you might see that an upgrade can actually save you money.
Call the hotel you are planning to stay in and see if they offer any discounts. Many hotels offer discounts for senior citizens, business travelers, military personnel and government officials. Additionally, if you are a member of an automobile association, you may qualify for a reduced rate on your hotel stay.
Try out DealAngel the next time you are looking online for hotel rooms. This relatively newer site will show you just how good of a deal you are actually getting. It even has a unique feature that will show you how hotel rates vary by date, letting you pick the cheapest time to go.
As you already know, finding the perfect hotel can take a bit of planning and research. But you will find that using the tips above will make it so much easier and can save you a significant amount of money. So keep these tips in mind and start planning your next hotel stay.
