The Parkland High football team has produced eight weeks of game film since Easton dropped the Trojans to 0-2 in early September.
Red Rovers coach Steve Shiffert has seen enough footage of Parkland since their Week 2 meeting to know that little of what happened in Easton's 35-28 win figures to come into play Saturday night.
For starters, third-seeded Easton won't have sophomore running back Shane Simpson available when it hosts No. 6 Parkland in a Districts 2-11 Class 4A football subregional quarterfinal. He ran for 118 yards against the Trojans during the regular season but suffered a season-ending leg injury in Monday's win over Nazareth.
Simpson's absence will be the most noticeable personnel change since the teams last met. The largest difference in the teams, however, is the defensive mentality Parkland has developed in part because of what Easton did to it in Week 2.
The Red Rovers scored 28 straight points against the Trojans in the second half in Week 2, opening a 35-14 lead. Since the last of those touchdowns, Parkland has become the stingiest defense in the Lehigh Valley Conference. The Trojans (8-2 overall) have allowed an average of 12.3 points per game during their eight-game winning streak and finished the regular season as the LVC's No. 1 scoring defense (17.0 ppg).
Defensive linemen Shaun Heist and Paul Tajiri, and linebacker Zach Gurinowich have led the Trojans in their pursuit of quarterbacks. That trio has combined for 22 sacks this season.
"Defensively, they just fly to the ball much better than they did earlier in the year," Shiffert said. "They're making a lot more tackles on the other side of the line of scrimmage than earlier in the year."
Parkland has coupled its defensive improvement with the LVC's most potent rushing attack. The Trojans are averaging 39.4 points per game and have four players — quarterback Tim Baranek and running backs Jarel Elder, Eli Redmond and Kareem Williams — with over 400 rushing yards. All four are averaging at least 6.4 yards per carry.
For all the momentum the Trojans have gathered, they aren't sleeping on the Red Rovers (9-1). Easton may not be the clear-cut district favorite it was in the first half of the season, but it still has more big-game experience than anyone in the field.
Junior running back Kyle Bambary has twice filled in for Simpson this season and produced 100-yard games. He and Brown will run behind an offensive line that has jelled over the season's second half.
Easton's defense, meanwhile, remains formidable, with linemen Tyler Greene and Matt Mowad, and linebacker Brown giving it three of league's best players at their position.
"I think they've gotten better throughout the year," Parkland coach Jim Morgans said. "I thought they did a real nice job [against Nazareth], especially defensively. They just present a lot of problems on defense with their defensive-line play."
Shiffert is every bit as concerned about Parkland's defensive line as Morgans is about Easton's defensive front. The play in the trenches may well determine which of these teams, two of District 11's most successful programs over the last decade, reaches the subregional semifinals.
"It's going to be very difficult to run on them all night long," Shiffert said. "I think this could come down to which team can throw the ball."
The backfield bunch: As one of the smallest Class 4A schools in District 11, Whitehall does not have the depth of teams like Parkland and Easton. One area where the Zephyrs have had strength in numbers this year is running back.
The development of sophomore Saquan Barkley has given Whitehall another offensive weapon. He has run for 224 yards on 31 carries, working his way into the mix with James Wah (104 carries, 447 yards) and Ryan Bonshak (56 carries, 224 yards). Barkley, Wah and Bonshak all start on defense in addition to sharing carries.
J.J. Johnson, Zack Delp and Jake Rex, three more defensive starters, have also seen spot time in the offensive backfield.
"I don't think we've had tendencies of what we've done with any of them, which has been good," Whitehall coach Brian Gilbert said this week.
Staying fresh for four quarters is vital for fifth-seeded Whitehall this week as it heads to No. 4 Delaware Valley for a Districts 2-11 Class 4A subregional quarterfinal. The Zephyrs have a two-hour bus ride to Milford. When they get there, they will face a team with a big offensive line and an offense that has scored at least 34 points in nine of 10 games.
"I'm sure we're going to have some fun on the way up there, on the bus ride up," Bonshak said. "Then we're going to be focused once it comes to game time and be ready to play Whitehall football.

- How To Calculate Attribution's ROI: The Formula
- A question that frequently arises when brands or agencies consider an investment in a marketing attribution solution is how to calculate the return on that investment. Of course, advertisers also tend to realize many incalculable benefits once they implement attribution, including (but not limited to) a stronger faith in the accuracy of their overall measurement practice, a third party accountability layer to evaluate all media partners, and installing the cornerstone of a fully data-driven marketing practice, but fiscal decisions do often require fiscal answers.» 4 Comments

Hi everyone! Since I am a brand spanking new member, I thought I'd introduce myself. I am German born and raised, but have lived in the U.S for the last 25 years. Most recently in Montana.
I just found Beethoven.com a few days ago and just love the site. Didn't realize that things can get this hot and heavy in a place where you'd think people are more unobtrusive and polished.
Anyhow since the Schumann/Brahms story had such an effect I thought I'd tell you about Wagner.
I heard that he and King Ludwig of Bavaria were very, very tight. So much so that Ludwig built him a beautiful little grotto in Linderhof, the King's little lust castle. And here I was brought up to believe that the gay/lesbian phenomenon is a modern thing.
UH, OH, I can see Mr. Molman's blood pressure rising, I better shut up now!

Comments about Slingshot Response Wakeboard 2013:
I ride 90% cable. The board looks great, has a good flex, is easy, forgiving, nicely cuts through the water and provides smooth landings.The only flip side is that after maybe only 10 sessions the point along my toeside edge where the grind base connects to the sidewall is wearing out. I can easily slide my fingernail in there and lift the grind base away from the board. Not sure if this a manufacturing problem with this particular board or a faulty design.Hence only 3 stars for now, I am trying to sort it out with Slinghot and will see if I can update the review later.

Scheduling has several variations: long-range planning (LRP), shutdown/turnaround/outage scheduling, rolling schedules, weekly schedules and daily plans. All of these are important, but, the weekly schedule process is by far the most significant. It also is the most underutilized tool for work force efficiency.
Most companies assume that their "scheduling tool add-on"would make weekly scheduling easy. They soon discover that what they bought is simply an interface tool to a scheduling product. A further complication is that the interface does not transfer all the needed information across at the right level of detail. Upon discovering these problems, too many users say "this is too hard to use" and give up on one of the most important benefits of a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS)–increased labor productivity.
Where is the problem? The problem could be the software, a lack of perceived benefit for the process, or a training issue. In most cases, it's simply a software design issue–or lack of design. CMMS vendors have historically relied on a third-party interface to facilitate the scheduling function. They also seem to treat all scheduling requirements the same. This generic approach has given the users a clumsy interface that, at best, only "sort of works." The result is that very few companies take the time to create a weekly schedule, and even fewer understand how important such a schedule can be to their success.
A resource-leveled weekly schedule adds even more value. This advanced technique requires several processes to already be in place. For example, if the backlog isn't planned, it will be very difficult to create a schedule. Too often, this critical process is overlooked and a company will stumble when it comes to actual implementation. The typical CMMS software and training regimen has a work order screen for entering schedule dates and work priority fields, plus an ability to print a report that lists work for the week. However, it often overlooks both resource leveling and compliance analysis. In other words, during implementations, the process of deciding what is the most critical work for the best use of limited resources is overlooked. There are several points to consider when determining if your company should develop weekly schedules:
Interestingly, for any given site, more manhours (across a one-year time span) are spent developing and maintaining daily/weekly schedules than are committed to shutdown/ turnaround scheduling. The everyday planner/ scheduler not only represents the largest need for this capability, he/she also uses the CMMS more than any other employee.
Weekly scheduling – what and why?
A weekly schedule is an excellent management tool since every employee can easily relate to "what needs to get done this week." More importantly, this design promotes proactive maintenance, which is more cost-efficient than traditional reactive maintenance practices.
One week also is an ideal amount of time for forecasting a set of work that all departments can support. For example, warehouse and operations employees can be more easily convinced that the specific jobs on the schedule actually will be completed.
Management's goal should be to present a believable schedule that maximizes the use of craft labor without incurring overtime–and that effectively reduces backlog.Working with a schedule that accurately forecasts work activities enhances worker productivity, builds teamwork and keeps the staff focused on a common goal.
Resource leveling
A resource-leveled weekly schedule provides a logical way to balance required work versus available man-hours.Once a week, the resource pool is assessed for available man-hours. This information is then compared to the backlog of work. This may be a manual process or it may utilize a resource-leveling program. A preliminary schedule is then taken to the weekly schedule meeting where attendees can refine it.
Without resource leveling, the process becomes subjective and open to error. That, unfortunately, is common practice for many sites.
The weekly schedule meeting
If the management team waits until the meeting to select the work, it is already too late to gain maximum value from the meeting. The weekly schedule meeting is the time to refine the schedule–not build it. That said, the meeting should be flexible. This is the time to confirm whether the scheduled work is actually what should be done.Work can be added or subtracted, based on parameters not known to the CMMS. All affected departments should be present to provide input and gain consensus. Good communication between maintenance and operations will improve schedule accuracy.
An example of an appropriate change at the weekly schedule meeting might be selecting related work based on the craft traveling to a remote location. This "force selection," is called opportunistic scheduling, and it is an acceptable practice. Resource leveling would be performed a second time to incorporate these changes, followed by re-issuance of the schedule. Since the resource pool is fixed, some work may drop off.
When a user site initiates resource-leveled scheduling, it's typical to discover inaccuracies in the maintenance backlog. This is because the automated selection of work depends on accurate data.
The process
Simply implementing a fundamental planning and scheduling system should help improve productivity. Before each work day, the maintenance supervisor will create his daily schedule– from the weekly schedule. The work is linked to the worker in the daily schedule. Each day, progress is provided on work performed and the CMMS is updated. Examples of progress could be: work was started, completed or placed on hold.
The daily schedule should be created from the weekly schedule.However, the typical daily schedule includes reactive maintenance not shown on the weekly schedule.
If the maintenance organization is only issuing a daily schedule, this does not eliminate the need for a weekly schedule. If a company relies only on a daily schedule, it leads to increased reactive maintenance.
Schedule compliance
Once a schedule is issued, every attempt should be made to make sure these activities occur. Sometimes unforeseen events prevent the start of work. Possible "reason codes" might be:
This information should be recorded in the database under a compliance tracking table – recorded by the week number and work order record. The goal is to make a schedule that is >80% accurate each week.
Resource pool
To increase the efficiency of producing a weekly schedule, a CMMS should provide easy entry screens for:
1.Worker labor information–including the labor identifier, craft code and the assigned calendar/shift code.
2. Yes/No worker availability–is this craft person an available worker? A worker, such as a leading hand may be in a craft, but not normally assigned to work activities. (A leading hand may be the most senior person in the craft for larger maintenance organizations.)
3.Yes/No craft availability–an entire craft code may be marked as "no resource leveling necessary."
4. Calendar/shift definition–able to match any possible rotating shift combination and company holiday schedule.
5. Planned worker absences for next week– data stored as non-available time per worker.
6. Efficiency factor by craft–which relates to the "percentage of time expected to be available to work on the schedule each week."This factor allows for an expected amount of reactive maintenance and is critical in creating an accurate resource pool.
Given the above tools, it is easy to maintain a resource pool. The working level normally stays on the same shift, although rotating, for years at a time. The only variable is when someone says something like, "I have jury duty next Wednesday and Thursday."
In the end, resource-pool management is not an exact science.We are just trying to get close. Typically you can find a staff member in the maintenance group who already maintains this information. The challenge is to get this data into the CMMS.
The maintenance backlog The accuracy of the maintenance backlog is a critical part of the process. If it is not accurate, then one might wonder how any analytical decisions should be made from the CMMS–including KPI measurements. The minimum amount of information needed within the maintenance backlog for this process to work is:
Manual vs automatic resource leveling Resource leveling balances the resource demand (backlog) with the resource pool (worker availability). It can be done using paper and pencil (manually) or with software (automatically).
Either approach involves a comparison of required work hours to available hours. If done automatically, however, you save a substantial amount of time. This factor is even more significant when the schedule has to be regenerated during the course of a scheduling meeting.
Subjective selection: ineffective Without resource leveling, the staff is basically guessing how many jobs can be completed each week. Maintenance supervisors will routinely guess at a "safe" number they want to work on, or select priority work that might have come up in the last two day–because this is what they (and management) remember as being important.
This type of subjective selection technique often leads to a less-than-desired backlog reduction rate. That's because there is no way the human mind can evaluate an entire backlog of work that takes into consideration multi-craft work orders, craft estimates, work priorities and worker/craft availability.
What if you have no job planners? Keep in mind that not all company sites are the same.
Some are involved in manufacturing, some in heavy industry and some in utilities–these typically have detailed job plans and work packages. On the other hand, some facility maintenance organizations may not have job planners to keep up with a weekly schedule.
With or without a planner, it's usually possible to find someone to create a rough estimate and enter it into the CMMS.Here are the questions to be asked and answered in this situation:
Typical facility maintenance takes only five to 10 minutes to enter the above information. Once entered, the status can be changed to "ready." This type of interaction helps the maintenance department quickly develop an accurate, useable "planned backlog."
Depending on the situation, it may take several "more-than-40-hour weeks" to catch up on backlog planning. The maintenance staff should not be afraid of job planning. The worst situation is to not have any planned estimates entered on the work order, thus leaving it up to the worker to define all requirements up front –as well as do the work.
Communication The subject of communication between operations and maintenance often raises strong opinions. Some companies simply say, "enter a job priority for all new work and apply
The time it takes How much time is involved to create an effective weekly schedule? The answer depends on the amount of typing and screen manipulations a person must perform to set up this type of schedule each week.
For example, the person creating the schedule may be creating a list of work and downloading this information to other software programs for further editing and/or data sorting. They also may be pushing the data to a P3 or Microsoft Project (MSP) tool. Those who track the process of pushing this data from and back to the scheduling tool usually find that a substantial amount of effort is involved.
Typically, the data moved outside the CMMS is quickly out of sync with reality due to constant updates of the CMMS data from the insertion of new work and changing priorities based on short-term emergencies. What if work priorities or calendar data is entered on the schedule side – and not updated on the CMMS? Is it necessary to maintain work level calendars in two systems? What if the resource leveling algorithm in the scheduling tool doesn't use the "order of fire" concept? Where do you run weekly schedule compliance?
Where do you stand? How does your company compare to the general CMMS user community?
Table I is based on some informal surveys in the field. Looking at these numbers, it would appear that very few sites are generating a resource-leveled weekly schedule.
The reason for this low adoption rate is simple. Most software vendors don't make the development of resource-leveling software a priority. Likewise, because a useable tool has been unavailable, users have not learned the value of this process.
What now? Companies have learned that with a readilyavailable CMMS "add-in" and adjustments in a few crucial processes, they can gain substantial economic efficiencies. A surprising, but very significant bonus is that their respective companies soon become far better places to work. Shared goals built on inter-departmental cooperation have quickly lowered conflict and increased job satisfaction.
If your organization is one of the estimated 53 companies world-wide that regularly generate a resource-leveled weekly report, be proud. If not, it's probably time to evaluate how you can join this elite group.
Start by comparing your current practices with those discussed in this article. If you believe you have opportunities for improvement, take action. Change what you can with your current skills and tools, then ask for any necessary outside support to help you make it all the way. MT
A. Weekly schedules do not assign worker names to work orders. That is done with the daily schedule. The weekly schedule primarily states "this is the set of work which maintenance needs to work on this coming week."
B. Weekly schedule compliance is a best practice–and should also be a KPI (>80%)
C. PM work
D. "Order of fire"
E. Opportunistic scheduling as a best practice
F. Major maintenance; modifications; capital work; project work
G. In-progress work (sometimes called carry-over work) considerations
H. The importance of planners–and job planning
I. Shutdown/turnaround scheduling typically requires a robust scheduling product. It involves the use of logic ties, critical path and resource analysis. Conversely, weekly scheduling is mostly a collection of work activities with no inter-dependencies.

Neighborhoods: Rosemead
Okay Lah, but there are better places to spend your money. – This is nothing really special. The food is okay..the service is below that. If you are looking for good tasting chinese food then this is not the place. Especially for the price, there are other places to go. Unless you really want a family style eating that will not break your wallet.
This top lunch spot piles on roast duck and barbecued pork.
– The Scene
Walk by and you'll see roast ducks and pigs hanging in the window. Despite the uninspired interior, Sam Woo's draws crowds with good value, big servings and succulent Chinese-style barbecue.
The Food
Solid Cantonese cuisine is the backbone of Sam Woo BBQ, which has perhaps a dozen branches in greater Los Angeles. For its price, you can't beat the succulent duck, scented with star anise, but the roasted pork is even better. Seafood is excellent, especially the live fish, huge crabs and delectable baby lobsters swimming in tanks along the wall. For a hangover, nothing beats the congee, a thick rice soup with any number of additions like pork, duck or preserved egg.
authentic dim sum! – All I can say is this place is just a WONDERFUL place to have dim sum, if you are not wanting to venture to China Town, in L.A. The dim sum is delish, and comes out plenty, you never have to worry about flagging a cart runner down. I never had a bad meal of Dim Sum here. I never had their dinners, but I do know their dim sum! LOL
Go to this branch and not others! – You would think that because this is a chain that the quality would be the same, but man, this Sam Woo is good and most of the other ones are horrible!!! At this branch, try the Baked Pork Chop, the baby bok choy, and any fish dish. Also, the chicken cooked with ginger in green onion is a subtle mild dish with a nice blend of flavors. We've never been disappointed at this one, but many Thursday night dinner club members have complained about the other branches of Sam Woo!
Great Chinese Food – Great food, fast service and relatively inexpensive. This is the closest to Chinese BBQ I've had outside of the China, very tasty and authentic. The atmosphere does not impress, but if you like tasty food which ic well prepared and dished up in generous portions, I'd suggest giving sam Woo's a try.
9 – We were disappointed in the Sam Woo Chinatown restaurant. However, the La Puente (actually, City of Industry) location has become one of our favorite restaurants. Good food and service and great prices. We often gather up as many friends as we can and eat there as a group.

i think cleaners took some of my makeup and a favourite t shirt of min :( I had it before I got to the hotel and then when I checked my suitcase / re packed before we left it wasn't there - cleaners were only one's who had access to the room. I mentioned it to reception and left note in room if cleaners saw it to notify reception - i don't think they will 'find it' though. Shame that cleaner's need to take other's belongings.

Smaller than its northern neighbors Arraial and Porto Seguro, Trancoso moves at a much slower pace. Founded by Jesuit missionaries in 1586, its first name was St. John Baptist of the Indians. Life here circles around the downtown plaza called "Quadrado" (the Square), where pedestrians have the right of way—no cars allowed. This is where everybody goes for shopping, dining, and people-watching. In recent years Trancoso has become something of a jet-set destination—a haven for high-society Brazilians from São Paulo, especially between Christmas and early January when the laid-back Quadrado is overrun by glamorous dresses, high-heels, and endless events. As a result, it now has several high-end hotels, such as the Casa Uxua, as well as an increasing number of private villas to rent, to cater to the clientele. Outside these peak periods, the village remains as charming as ever.

In my previous article on Charles Proxy many people have been stating that Fiddler 2 is free, and asking for guides regarding that. As I have had time to look into Fiddler, I thought I'd write a quick tutorial for those who wish to use this as an alternative to Charles.
In my previous article I mentioned that I was unsure as to whether or not Proxy's would work through the mobile network (for those of us with the 3G model of the Vita). Well, I have had enough time to look through this and I can confirm that it does not work. Which means no online play on the go, guys. You have to be connected to Wi-Fi.
This method will allow you to do everything you could before the update like playing games online, purchasing from PSN or even just browsing the internet (though a proxy is not required to browse the internet).
Note: Just to clear some confusion; you can use Vita FTP or any internet connection within the PSP Emu without doing this as using the internet (as long as you do not attempt to access PSN) does not attempt to make you update. This guide will help you access PSN and it's features.
I will write this in a step by step method. All the files included I have modified/checked myself and then uploaded to my mediafire. If there are any issues with hosting then please contact me.
Note: Fiddler 2 is a Windows only application, so to run this on a Mac or Linux based system you have to use a Virtual Machine such as VMWare on the Mac, or WINE on Linux.
- Download the psp2-updatelist.xml for your specific region: Japan, United Kingdom, United States, Europe. Save this file to an area that is easy to remember and easily accessible (Desktop for example).
- (Optional) Rename the file to "psp2-updatelist.xml" (without the quotation marks).
- Download and install Fiddler 2.
- Obtain your IP Address. To do this:
- Windows: Start -> Run -> CMD -> ipconfig. IPv4 Address is what you need.
- Linux: Use the command line "$ /sbin/ifconfig" (without quotation marks).
- Mac: Apple Icon -> System Preferences -> Network.
- (optional) If you do not have a working WiFi connection then create one on the Vita then move on to step 6. If you already have a working WiFi connection move on to the next step.
- Open the Advanced Settings on your WiFi connection on your Vita (Settings -> Network -> Wi-Fi Settings -> your connection name (under access points) -> Advanced Settings). Scroll down and select Use Proxy Server then enter your IP Address and the port "8888" (without the quotation marks).
- Start Fiddler 2 on your Computer.
- In Fiddler go to Tools -> Fiddler Options -> Connections (Tab) and set the Proxy port to "8888"
- Also under the Connections Tab ensure to click "Allow remote computers to connect"
- (optional) Still under the Connections Tab there is a box on the lower right hand side "Bypass Fiddler for URLs that start with:" copy and paste this url into the box gs-sec.ww.np.dl.playstation.net This will allow you to play some games that would not work otherwise: Ragnarok Oddesy for example.
- On your Vita you now need to connect to the internet. Go to Settings -> Network -> Internet Connection Test. This should open a session in Fiddler 2 as illustrated below:
Note: The host ID will change depending on your region.
- Delete the duplicate (#2)
- Left click on the remaining session and press F2 (Alternatively you can right click and select "Unlock For Editing"
- Left click on the session again, and look to the right hand side of Fiddler.
- Click on the "Inspectors" tab, then below that you should see "WebForms"
- In the QueryString section of the WebForm add "var" under the name, and a value of "02050000".
- Click on the "AutoResponder" tab (see image above)
- Check the boxes "Enable automatic responses" and "Unmatched requests passthrough".
- Click on the Add button. Your URL should now appear under the "If requests matches…" section. If this does not match the session URL (check step 10) then left click on the session again, and attempt to Add again under AutoResponder.
- Click on the URL then look at the "Rule Editor" section below.
- Under the Rule Editor you will see your URL with the word "EXACT:" behind it. We need to modify this. Firstly, remove "EXACT:" then remove everything after XML. It should look something like this (the regions are probably different though so bear that in mind): http://fuk01.psp2.update.playstation.net/update/psp2/list/uk/psp2-updatelist.xmlNote: To check you can copy and paste it into your browser and look. If it's identical (with only differences in region) then you're good to go.
- Below the Rule Editor there's a box that says "Local file to return or *Action to execute". Click on the arrow to the right and it will open a drop down menu.
- Select "Find a file …" now navigate to where you saved the file from Step 1 and double click it.
- Select Save.
You're now done. It should now allow you to connect to PSN and enjoy the benefits of this without having to upgrade to 2.05.
On a final note; I saw some people on the Charles article stating that Sony will block this quicker now that there's an article on it. While this does hold some truth; it's something Sony already know about and have blocked on previous Firmware. The likelihood is that they will block it on 2.02 too. Having an article on it doesn't mean that it's more likely to be blocked since it's something they're already well aware of. The way I see it; this information should be shared now so that everyone can enjoy it while it's still available. If it gets blocked in the future, well, at least everyone had the opportunity while it was available rather than only a few people knowing about it, and it getting blocked anyway.
So, as always guys. Have fun, and feel free to comment.

Trackback link: http://wololo.net/2013/01/26/psn-and-online-features-on-without-updating-on-fw-2-02-fiddler-2/trackback/
Do you guys know if Uno is already back to Psn store?
It wouldn't really matter if they did now. It would be patched and not work with the exploit.
games are rarely patched, only the firmware is patched.
The patch is in the 2.05 FW itself, not the game.
Fiddler 2 is a Windows only application, so to run this on a Mac or Linux based system you have to use a Virtual Machine such as VMWare on the Mac, or WINE on Linux.
Wine isn't a virtual machine it's a reverse engineered collection of Windows libraries and other system files, the difference is that it isn't a full Windows installation nor an emulator and it uses much less recourses an feels like a reel linux application (or mac application). An d it's ported to OS X. So next time you may write something like this: Fiddler 2 is a Windows only application, so to run this on a OS X or Linux based system you have to use a WINE (port) on Linux or Mac or use a
Virtual Machine such as VMWare on the Mac.
this one works great for me but the charles didnt.i wonder why?
Man I wish I could try this, got the exploit over break now that I left home to college I can't do this, but it's all good I guess, still got my homebrew and cso on my vita hopefully a full hack comes out soon that would be badass lol
I'm having the same issue as yoretro. I can get into psn fine but i cannot start any downloads. I am met with this error: "Could not connect to the server or device within the time limit (NW-5603-4)"
Thanks for the tutorial, it worked perfectly.
as I am waiting for my download to begin I'm reading this and that exact error popped up on my screen, I was like woah. TRUE STORY
and so it works works great in my vita i was able to access psn thanks guys
can we get in trouble by using this?
Great guide! Couldn't get Charles to work but fiddler was perfect.
THANK YOU!!!!!! (sorry for the caps)
someone help me i used region 1 (USA) but i still can't access the PSN pls help me in fiddler this is my url… http://fsa01.psp2.update.playstation.net/update/psp2/list/sa/psp2-updatelist.xml
my error code was C3-14978-9
pls help me wololo…
i question whTs with sony antld there late actions ah i might update my vita when this is patched btw guys im into persona 3 if yall havent tried it please do i pht over 60 hours into itone question can u connect online with a psp gane without having to update??
hey so i have this running on my vita, but how do you download from psn i keep getting an error can someon help
Great tool! At first I thought we had to edit a file on the system, but I read through it all and was amazed. Thanks again for all your hard work.
Does it make sense to stay on lower firmware, if I missed the Uno exploit ?
Is there any chance the game will be back on PSN before the proxy method to access it is fixed ?
Or should I rather update to 2.05 already and wait for the new VHBL only game/exploit ?
Can I still use PS+ through the proxy?
P/s I can't download game via PSN.
What i do to download a game is: use the proxy server and go on psn, go to your download list and go back to settings. turn your proxy server to Do Not Use and go back to psn and press download and download your game ^_^ idk if people already know this or not but their you go
It didn't work before, but after reading your comment and trying through the "download list" it worked.
Thanx MAN. Stay AWESOME.
Has this already been blocked in Europe? Was working yesterday and the day before, now it just says there is an update. Tested both Charles and Fiddler. Guess it was fun while it lasted!
Is Sony blocked this or not?
Looks like it's blocked. I'm in the US and it worked yesterday, but not anymore.
Looks like it's blocked. I'm in the US and it worked yesterday, but not anymore.
In Italy work well since 10.00 p.m, now not working
does this still work? I followed the tutorial and I still cannot connect. I seem to have everything set up correctly but I get an "error np 2066-4″ when trying to go in the PS store. the proxy server seems to be working; I get internet connection to the vita, but I can't get into the ps store. please help me out
Just adding that for South America the XML file should be replaced for SA, you can pick the US version for ex. and replace settings where is US to SA
and the links: dSA01.psp2.up… …PUP?dest=SA
Fiddler Rule Editor should be SA too.
I think that you should edit your XML accordingly to what you see in Fiddler, if fiddler shows you US, them your XML should be US.
(I guess its regardless your PSN account or PSV settings, since my vita use an USA account with everything set for US, but I'm in south america, so it is related to your IP).
This should fix PSN Sign error C3-14978-9
Is this blocked already? I've got access to PSN once with my vita without any account registered on the device.
It allowed me to connect and read my memory card (yay!)
My games are back, but now before playing any game, I have to connect to my PSN account one more time, and is now where Vita is saying that I have to update system software again.
I've managed to use fiddlers to bypass official URLs, but somehow it know that I'm not on 2.05 and fails.
Now I have no access to my actual games, to PSN, to nothing other than the update screen smiling like devil.
i followed the tutorial and i cannot get this to work plz help
look s like this is blocked now guys, was fun while it lasted
Seems like it's blocked now. It was working the other day and now asks to update firmware. =(
for some reason fiddler was running good then now all of a sudden it stopped working it wont let me connect now, any help on this?
is fiddler blocked now?
yes it is
damn i was just about to put a 50 in my psn just for psn guess now not….
Guess what… I buyed yesterday ps+ for 365 days xP But whatever… I bought a ps3 cfw now… So that shouldnt be a problem anymore
Does anyone know of any other proxies we can use to access PSN on 2.02?

Crises of maternity care spending and poor maternal-infant health outcomes in the U.S.
- The United States spends more than any other nation on health care, using almost half of all of the world's health care dollars
- $98 billion of health care spending in the U.S. goes towards the provision of maternity care
- Despite large spending, the U.S. currently ranks 50th in the world for maternal mortality and 46th for infant mortality occurring during the first year of life
Midwifery care leads to improved health outcomes and cost-savings
- Studies consistently demonstrate reduced maternal morbidity, equivalent perinatal mortality, decreased technological intervention at birth, enormous cost savings, and high client satisfaction rates associated with midwifery care
Improving maternal-child health outcomes: a comparison
- Current U.S. cesarean rate is 32.8%
- Midwifery cesarean rates range on average from 2.3% – 6.4%
- Current. U.S. prematurity rate is 11.99%
- Midwifery prematurity rates range on average from 1.4% to 1.7%
- Current. U.S. low birth weight (<2500 grams) rate is 8.5%
- Midwifery low birth weight rates range on average from 0.8% to 1.1%
- Low birth weight and prematurity are the two leading factors in infant mortality
- Significant health disparities exist in the U.S. among racial/ethnic minorities, low socioeconomic families, and other marginalized populations
- Midwifery care can has demonstrated potential in improving health outcomes for vulnerable and disenfranchised populations.
Public health organizations recognize and support midwifery care for low-risk women, including:
- American Public Health Association
- World Health Organization
- American College of Nurse Midwives
- National Perinatal Association
The Midwives Model of Care™
- The Midwives Model of Care is based on the fact that pregnancy and birth are normal life processes.
The Midwives Model of Care includes:
- Monitoring the physical, psychological, and social well-being of the mother throughout the childbearing cycle
- Providing the mother with individualized education, counseling, and prenatal care, continuous hands-on assistance during labor and delivery, and postpartum support
- Minimizing technological interventions
- Identifying and referring women who require obstetrical attention
The application of this woman-centered model of care has been proven to reduce the incidence of birth injury, trauma, and cesarean section.

Jordan turned pro after his junior year and freshman couldn't play varsity when Kareem was in college, so they both played three years. Kareem was dominant at a younger age than Jordan and he was still dominant at an age three years older than Jordan was when he retired the second time. On top of that, Kareem has 10 times more character than Jordan has.

'His Glory and His Curse'
The opening pages in Jonathan Franzen's Freedom come off as a brilliant hybridization of a Jane Austen and a D.H. Lawrence novel. They are written with the conviction that the novel of love isn't dead after all. But Franzen, judging from the evidence of this novel, doesn't want to be Jane Austen; he wants to be Tolstoy. Courtship and marriage comprise only a part of his book. His characters must move to the centers of American power, out of the Midwest and into Washington and New York City, where world-historical mistakes are made, and where, as innocents, they will be wised-up. Freedom's ambition is to be the sort of novel that sums up an age and that gets everything into it, a heroic and desperate project.

Meditations In My Favorite Places In Southern Africa begins in the Okavango Delta where the reader is introduced to both the first meditation, a chakra and the color it is associated with as well as a glimpse into the awakening animals of the area. From that starting point Evans continues our journey to Kruger National Park, The Kagroo District, Amatola Mountains, the Eastern Coastlines, Witwatersberg and the Sentinenel in the Drakensberg mountains. Woven into the tapestry of visual offerings of colors, critters, sights and scents found in the African landscape author Evans presents the reader with chakras, lessons and meditations as well.
I particularly enjoyed reading the portion regarding the Sentinel area where writer Evans turns our attention to the flight of eagles, the beauty of a gossamer web and the puzzlement of Mushroom rock. Evans meditation for this segment guides our understanding to a deeper realization for what mountains have meant to the history of the people who live in our world. The color of this chakra is purple.
Gail Evans was born and grew up in South Africa. Following her marriage in 1985 she and her growing young family spent several years traveling the land she loves so well. Her affection for the African terrene is evident in this her third work. Meditations in My Favourite Places in Southern Africa brings the reader face to face with Evans regard for Africa in addition to her intrinsic regard in spirituality. The work is what writer Evans calls a travelogue for outer journeys through Southern Africa and inner journeys of the spirit!
Writer Evans Meditations In My Favorite Places In Southern Africa is presented as a travelogue of some of what must be Evans favorites of the many reverence arousing areas of South Africa. Many of the areas she brings to our attention are the protected park lands of the country. Each of the seven chapters is filled with a lush description of a particular area, which Evans proceeds to correlate with one of the bodys energy centers or chakras. A meditation complete with data to explain what the chakra means for the reader ends each chapter. The first meditation leads the reader to the color red and the first chakra. We are given an explanation for what a healthy chakra can furnish us and we are told the harm to be derived from an unhealthy chakra.

The camp coincided with preseason conditioning for both the Sierra Youth football League and Sparks Pop Warner, helping Spanish Springs football coach Scott Hare and his athletes capitalize on the enthusiasm of local youths gearing up for a new fall campaign.
"I just liked having the kids out here," Hare said. "I think it's great that all these little kids have football in common and they get to hang out and see what high school football is all about.
"Right now, everybody (in local youth football) is doing good job getting the kids involved. Most (Spanish Springs SYFL) teams came up in full force ... All the feedback we're getting is good. Parents come up to me and say 'this is awesome.' It's great for these kids to come up to the high school and see what we're all about too."
The camp was divided into station work, offensive and defensive drills and competitions. SSHS players oversaw the stations and worked with the kids to help them improve their skill set. As valuable as Hare hopes the camp is for the youths, he knows it's just as valuable if not more so for his Cougar athletes.
"It's a lot of fun for me see our high school kids coaching, to see them help the kids when that needs to be done," Hare said. "There's always a time when you get the high school kids coaching and they get a little frustrated trying to teach a kid a concept, who might not get it immediately. I enjoy that because coaching is not quite as easy as it looks. When my guys are trying to coach something, and the kids don't get it, it gives the high school guys a little more perspective on what we high school coaches go through on a daily basis."
The camp registration was $50 per player. For every SYFL or Sparks Pop Warner player registered, the Cougars' coach donated $10 back to that respective league.

- Amazing!!!! Review by Vinyya

This product is just AMAZING I bought it 2 months ago because I wanted to get rid of my "strawberry legs". I use it on my dry skin before going to the shower and it has done wonders!!! And guess what I don't use it religiously, so if you use it twice a week it's perfect!!!
- Disappointed Review by Janella
Price Value Quality
Been using this for a month on my arms, nothing happened. My KP didn't get worse but it didn't help reducing them. 'm very disappointed!! It's so expensive, i shouldn't have bought this. Will not buy it again and won't recommend this to anyone. It's such a rip off! Especially to those who are desperate.
- Two uses, already seeing results! Review by nurse7795

After seeing this product reviewed in both magazines and online, I had to give it a try. I am so happy I did. After only two uses, I am pleasantly surprised with the results I am seeing. My arms are smoother with less redness. Tank tops here I come!!
- LIFE CHANGING Review by AlexaaSS

Over the years I've used several salt/sugar scrubs to exfoliate my skin. Nothing has ever compared to the results I've gotten with this body scrub. You can automatically tell the difference in the texture of your skin. Makes you want to use it very often. My favorite product they sale, highly recommended!

I am 17 year old and been using KP Duty Scrub for 2 weeks and still no result. Nothing change, very disappointed. My redness still the same. Hopefully by the time I finish the scrub then there be better result.
- Amazing product!!! Review by Kat
Price Value Quality
I've suffered with KP my whole life, people constantly asking me whats wrong with my arms. When I was younger I was told it was eczema but the creams I was prescribed did not help at all. A while ago, while looking through my Self magazine, I saw an advertisement for this product and said out loud "Holy crap, my skin condition has a name!" I finally caved and bought the body scrub and have noticed a HUGE change. My arms are smoother and it's much less embarrassing to wear tank tops and short sleeves. Still working on the legs but this is a great product!
- AMAZING Review by tara
Quality Price Value
I bought this after purchasing the lotion- figuring I liked the results from the lotion so much this would only speed up the process. I was right- I really wish I would have taken a before/after pic. I have struggled for years with the red bumps on the backs of my arms- nothing ever worked. I saw this advertised in a magazine and at first thought it was a tad expensive. This product is WORTH every penny.
- RESULTS AFTER THREE USES! Review by MeghanLee
Price Value Quality
I have been embarrassed about the bumps on my upper thighs for over 10 years and I have tried multiple methods of getting rid of them. Within 3 uses I have noticeably softer and smoother skin!! I can't believe my eyes, in fact I can't stop looking at my thighs! Although somewhat expensive the results are well worth the money!! SHORTS AND SKIRTS HERE I COME!!
- Where has this been all my life? Review by Leslie
Price Value Quality
I have dry skin. Nothing has ever been effective - no lotion, grease, oil, butter, you name it. I've always exfoliated with something or other, but without much success. I thought I'd try this, and was delighted the jar is really big. I figured if it had glycolic acid that might help release the dead skin cells - and it did! My skin has never been so smooth and without the nasty stuck on dead skin cells, my skin takes moisturizer really well. I no longer have such dry, unattractive skin, but when Dr. Kunin comes up with a product to firm up loose skin from weight loss, well, that'll really be the day!!

Is your tank inside or outside? Do you have a single oil line or two going to the oil pump? A picture of the oil pump on the burner would be of great help.
I ran out of home-heating oil and there now appears to be an air lock in my oil burner. I've looked everywhere but I can't see where the bleeder valve is.
I have attached 2 photos, one of the burner, and the other of the front cover of the burner.
What happens is this: i press the re-start buttom and the boiler appears to fire up. It runs for a bout 10 seconds and then stops.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Is your tank inside or outside? Do you have a single oil line or two going to the oil pump? A picture of the oil pump on the burner would be of great help.
Tools needed: (1) wrench, (2) empty can (like a coffee can)
- There is a bleeder valve (just like a brake bleeder valve on a caliper) where the oil line connects to the burner. Loosen it by 1/2 a turn.
- Engage the manual start on the burner controller (red button, read the instructions on the control)
- Hold the can to catch the red home heating fuel. It may take 10 to 30 seconds for it to flow.
- When you have a steady flow, close the bleeder valve
- Sit back and enjoy the heat.
Thanks guys for replying. I know hardly anything about burners, although I was able to bleed my last one. This one is set up differently.
John - it is in a small brick house outside. The boiler itself sits side-on, so it's not terribly easy to work with. I think it has single line going to the pump. As I say, I'm not very savy with these things.
Gary - I couldn't see a bleeder valve where the line connected to the burner.
Between the fuel pump (where the fuel line from the oil tank connects to the burner) and the burner itself there is a bleeder. Can you get a close-up photo of this so we can spot it? It may be visible from the bottom.
Gary - there is a nut that connects the line to the burner but that is connected right underneath the burner and I can't get at it. I tried to take a photo but it was so dark underneath there it didnt come out. My last burner had a nut at the front that I just had to loosen and it was simple. I am a bit confused about the burner firing up initially and then stopping after 10 seconds. In my old burner, it wouldnt have fired up at all if there was an airlock.
[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]
I managed to get get a few photos of fuel pump.
Or...you could have a professional out to have a look and maybe tune up the oil burner and save twice the cost of professional service in fuel savings this winter.
if you ran out the oil filter or nozzle is most likely plugged,
Thanks so much. I know bleeding the oil pump is easy. I have done it before, but so infrequentily I always forget. The valve was right where you said. I am warm now and empowered!

From the singing and wisecracking Flo on the Progressive spots to those annoying strummers who pop up at the end of the Geico "Happier Than …" commercials, I try to ignore advertising when watching TV.
But when you have a local icon like Mario Andretti involved in a spot, you stop and watch it.
During the Indy 500 this year, I saw his commercial for Honda's "Fastest Seat in Sport" sweepstakes. It made me laugh.
It begins with Mario and his "lucky" passenger putting on their helmets as they get settled inside a special two-seater Izod IndyCar.
Mario turns around and asks the guy "Sign the waiver?"
The guys looks shocked and yelps "Waiver?!"
They pull away and while Mario is shown with beautiful, opera music in his head and is seen checking out the passing scenery, including a beautiful woman in the stands, the guy in the back seat is screaming at the top of the lungs.
On Saturday morning I found out that there is truth in advertising, at least when it comes to this spot.
At Pocono Raceway I got to sit in the back seat of a special two-seater. It might have even been the same one used in the commercial.
Pocono had extended the invitation for various media, track officials and other dignitaries as part of IndyCar's grand return to the "Tricky Triangle" for the first time since 1989. You know, a nice, simple research project to help with coverage.
There were three drivers giving out the rides and Morning Call colleague Paul Reinhard yelled over to the guys who were coordinating everything to have me go with Mario, just as he did minutes earlier. Reinhard, who knows him well enough to get away with it, said to Mario as he exited: "With a little more practice, I think you're gonna do just fine."
My experience wasn't exactly as shown in the commercial.
I had my helmet on long before I squeezed, twisted and wedged my way into the back-seat cockpit, vowing to lose about 20 pounds before IndyCar returns next July whether I get another ride or not.
I know that had I stayed in my black National Guard-sponsored racing suit for another 15 minutes in that blistering 90-degree heat, I might have dropped those 20 right there.
And, the waiver part was definitely signed long before I approached the car.
It's a little unnerving to be taking what's supposed to be a joy ride and being asked for your blood type, your medical insurance info and who to call in case of an emergency. But we filled it all out quickly without thinking about why the info might actually be needed.
A little nervous just hearing the sounds of cars zooming past me at 170 to 180 mph, I tapped Mario on the helmet as I got in back of the shiny, open-wheel masterpiece and probably sounded like a schoolgirl when I yelled: "Hey, Mario, you've got Keith Groller with you now. You're the best!"
As if he needed encouragement.
To his immense credit, and my soaring pulse rate, he didn't hold back during the fastest two minutes of my life. It was just five miles, two times around the track. But it was long enough.
I didn't scream. I didn't have time considering my life was flashing before eyes and I was worried the helmet would dislodge, maybe taking my head with it.

Great Barrier Reef Restaurant Reviews
Most restaurants on Barrier Reef islands are part of each island's main resort, so many resorts' rates include some or all meals. Some larger resorts have a range of restaurants, with formal dining rooms, outdoor barbecues, and seafood buffets; some have premium dining options for which you pay extra. Dress is generally "island casual." Some upscale restaurants—such as those on Hayman Island—require men to wear jackets for dinner and frown on flip-flop sandals. On the mainland you'll find plenty of casual, open-air restaurants, serving mainly steak and seafood dishes. Cairns is your best bet for upscale dining.

I've long been proud of being a woman living in Washington State and, with states across the union legalizing restrictions on abortion coverage, I am extremely happy to hear about the work some Washington State legislators are doing to mandate the opposite.
The Reproductive Parity Act would require that insurance companies providing coverage for maternity care also cover abortion services. With the changing landscape of federal healthcare reform, insurance providers will soon be required to separate abortion coverage from their existing plans, effectively putting women's healthcare decisions into the hands of her employer. Considering that every insurance carrier and almost every insurance plan in Washington already covers abortion, why wouldn't we want to keep it that way?
Steadfast as I am in my beliefs about being able to choose what's right for you, the Reproductive Parity Act has faced some challenges within the State Senate. As a supporter of health, I urge my elected officials to pass the Reproductive Parity Act this special session and provide an example to the nation that keeping the freedom and privacy to make the health care decisions that are right for themselves and their families in women's hands is the only decision. No woman should have her health care decisions made for her because she cannot afford care.

I had a similar problem and fixed it by adding about 4 extra windings of teflon tape... I'm not an expert so I may wrong as far as professional installation goes but it worked for a simple DIY for me...
I recently posted about installing an icemaker line tapped off my well supply [http://www.terrylove.com/forums/show...pipe&p=269421].
The job is now done but I have a very small niggling problem.
Here is the configuration:
1. Sharkbite Tee on 3/4 inch CPVC reduces to 1/2 inch
2. Short stub (4 inch) 1/2 inch CPVC connects to push-on angle valve with 3/8 compression output
3. 20 inch "faucet supply" (braided) 3/8 at both ends connects to angle valve and to adapter (below)
4. Watts 3/8 to 1/4 adapter connects to braided "faucet supply"
5. 1/4 inch icemaker line connects to Watts adapter and directly to fridge input
I know this is a bit roundabout, but I could not find ANYWHERE to buy a push on angle valve with a 1/4 inch compression output, which is why I wound up with Steps 3 and 4.
This setup works 99%. The two push-on fittings (Steps 1 and 2) are holding perfectly well with absolutely no leak.
The connection between Steps 2-3 and 4-5 are also tight with no leaks.
My only problem is the connection between Steps 3-4, where the braided "faucet supply" connects to the 3/8 inch end of the Watts adapter. I have tightened it and used some teflon tape but there remains a very teeny tiny leak. As in, a single water droplet at random intervals, maybe a handful per minute. I've redone the connection several times but the single droplet problem remains.
Looking for both ideas on why this is happening and is there a clever solution to suppress the single occasional water droplet leak, that isn't a gusher or even a steady trickle?
Thanks again!

If you have what I think, both of those hoses normally have a gasket in the end, and the use of tape can cause a leak. The gasket against the ball end of the fitting should seal fine on their own. Also, overtightening them can be a problem.

Send our office an email at firstname.lastname@example.com and tell them that you spoke with Thomas on the Internet, and that I want them to send you one on the house. It can ship from our plant tomorrow if you send them an email tonight.
Please let us know what you think of it. Enjoy!
If that Watts "faucet supply" is the kind that is supposed to prevent floods, you have made a big mistake. These are absolutely worthless. They tend to fail quite frequently.
I have read that about the flood prevention devices. But no, the only Watts piece in this assembly is a very simple 3/8 inch to 1/4 inch brass adapter, threaded male at both ends. The "faucet hose" is just your standard commonplace kind.
Our pleasure! I checked my email via our remote server and didn't see an email enquiry from you. Sometimes our mail server quarantines items. If you don't have a reply to your email by 10:00 am EST, then you may want to give them a call at 1-800-268-2363. Just press 1 when you hear the company greeting and you'll be routed to the Customer Service Dept. Tell them what we've discussed and they'll look after you. I'm on vacation...sort of :-)...they have direct access to me all week even though I'm not there.
Mr. Dahl, can you post a link to your companys products? I like to buy American, but you Canadians are a good second choice. I saw your valves in a seperate post by Ian and they looked like a good piece of work.
Distributors in California or on line purchase sources in US?
Hi ballvalve,
Our website is here: www.dahlvalve.com. We have some work to do on our website so our Product Search function is somewhat outdated and the best information is on the Downloads page or uisng the "Build Your Own Mini-Ball Valve" function (if you need something unusual).
Dahl qualifies for projects with Buy American requirements under the ARRA because we buy so much of our raw material in the U.S.A. That valve in the photo you saw in the other thread is made from American brass. Dahl is not simply an assembly plant - we design, engineer, machine, assemble, test, package & ship the finished product from our one location outside of Toronto.
We sell to a number of supply houses in California. Your best bet is to find the local Dahl rep (on our website Sales Agencies link) and have them recommend a supplier in your area. You are also most welcome to contact our office directly.
Thank you!!!
