DIY Wolverine Claws Confiscated In The UK
These homemade Wolverine claws were recently confiscated during a UK crackdown on illegal goods in the postal system, along with drugs and other weapons. On that note, who can get me into the evidence room?
Staff at the depot have seized drugs, imitation weapons and a package containing thousands of fake Viagra tablets in recent months.
Fake Viagra tablets? That's just cruel. I mean, you order boner pills you EXPECT boner pills. Reminds me of the time I bought ecstasy and ended up with chewable vitamins. Saddest pterodactyl ever.
Makeshift Wolverine Claws Seized by UK Officials [tmz]
Thanks to Samuel and Ian, who once sent Wolverine a get-well card before realizing he probably already was.
Let's face it, at one time or another we've all wanted to get stabby on a coworker. Sometimes the feeling is fleeting, but usually it's something we think about doing constantly and doodle pictures of. Enter the $20 Campco TacPen (the Tac stands for tactical, not taco, which ... / Continue →

The first batch of roughly 130 prisoners will arrive at the new Goose Creek Correctional Center next week, though a test group of about 30 inmates has been living there since March.
The Department of Corrections has hired about 40 people to work at the facility and they are still recruiting, but they say prisoners will be expected to pick up a significant share of the workload.
"We didn't buy gasoline powered lawnmowers, they're all going to be reel mowers and we'll have shifts of people that mow," said Joe Schmidt, corrections commissioner.
In return, inmates will have access to job training, GED classes, and substance abuse treatment for those who need it.
DOC expects the Goose Creek Correctional Center to fill up by 2016 or 2017 as the state of Alaska brings its prisoners back from Colorado, where they've been housed for the past few years.

Thor is a man. Not only that he is probably the most testosterone-filled man on Earth. I can guarantee you that 9 out of 10 men who are talked into sleeping with another woman, even if they completely love their significant other, will enjoy it. It's just nature. Even in their sleep if someone starts fondling a man he... stands attention, if you catch my drift. This is especially the case if the man finds the woman attractive, and even then sometimes it can't be helped.
So if anything I find that scene the most believable because if I picture myself in his position, I wouldn't have a frown on my face either.
So why did he attack Ironman with a bolt of lightning?
People started getting in the way of killing Loki. Zarda got tricked by Loki and saw Thor as Amora, she attacked Thor and so he tried to kill her, Antonio shot the ax in his hands, Thor didn't like that. Thor was being incredibly selfish as well and said that because they couldn't prevent Valkyrie's death they all need to pay.
Wowzer! Three pages at the start. Hot damn!
The point of the matter, at the moment, isn't just that Loeb's Ultimates stories weren't good. It's that he didn't respect the tradition of what came before. His change to Thor didn't follow what Millar had set up for the past five years. It would be like Dan Slott suddenly making Peter Parker a cold blooded killer. Sure, it could work as a story, but not in 616, where it would go against everything that the continuity before it established. If you want a bloodthirsty, angry god version of Thor, there are plenty of books out there for it. But Ultimate Thor was not that character. Instead, Loeb shoehorned the Thor he wanted to write into a universe where it didn't fit.
Millar, for five years, established that the Ultimates were about a serious, realistic take on classic concepts that depicted the characters in new ways. And because that's what he established, that's what Ultimates should be. Saying that Loeb's mindless action comics are what Ultimates should be is like saying there should be a Godfather part 4 that's a comedy. Comedies, like action stories, can be awesome, but that's not what the Godfather was.
And then, obviously, on top of the abandonment of previous themes and concepts, Loeb's stories weren't good.

Going further into the character of Thor...
Millar's Thor was a pacifist, plain and simple. He knew he could kick anyone's ass at any time, but he didn't care. He was only going to step in if he really needed to (or, rather, if the world really needed him to). He was a powerful god who preferred peace. A "pacifist with a big scary hammer."
Loeb, instead, made him all about anger and fighting. There was never a feeling of him thinking about anything else, except the sudden (and still mostly unexplained) love affair with Valkyrie. He said things like "I will have at Magneto," which make no sense with the characterization that came before. And, of course, there's the completely unnecessary (and also mostly unexplained) costume and weapon change.
I like Ultimate Comics. - Read them with us!
I also buy: Captain America, Avengers, FF, New Avengers, X-Factor, among others
I always read the Ultimates was the blockbuster book. Ultimates 2 Volume 2 was my first exposure and it was awesome and non stop fighting. I then excitingly went and read the rest to find boring over-drawn out stories. For me Ultimates is better as an artist's book, Ultimates 2 Volume 2, Ultimates 3, and New Ultimates were absolutely beautifully drawn and they all had huge action scenes. For me Ultimates 3 was continuing what Ultimates 2 volume 2 brought in.
You're decrying the other Ultimates volumes because they were "boring over-drawn out stories." Ultimates 1 progression: Origin of Cap, team comes together, Hulk attacks, Jan and Hank fight each other, Cap hospitalizes Hank, aliens attack, Cap and Jan end up together. Proper progression in plot and character work.
Ultimates 3: Venom attacks, Hawkeye attacks Spider-Man, Wanda and Pietro take a walk and she dies, Brotherhood attacks, they go to Savage Land, Ultron kidnaps Jan and gets rescued by Hank, more fighting and some rape implications, Ultron robots attack, Hawkeye apparently kills Quicksilver.
Compare one to the other and Ultimates 3 just reads like a bunch of random shit happening for no reason

We want you to discover and experience the people, history, art, culture and traditions of Lima by designing the best city tours in Lima. We also design great itineraries throughout Peru and South America.
Built in 1735 by the Marquis of Torre Tagle, this handsome building is considered to be the best surviving colonial house in Lima with its superb carved balconies, magnificent doors and a courtyard surrounded by rooms and ironwork.
This church and monastery of St. Francis (circa 1674) is known for its catacombs that contain the remains of more than 70,000 people and a magnificent library that houses thousands of antique texts.
Like Chinatowns in other countries, Lima's two-block Chinatown is the place to go for Chinese cuisine. The area has undergone a renaissance in recent years after a 1997 renovation in preparation for the 150th anniversary of Chinese immigration to Peru.

Shaded with flowering trees, this secluded romantic walkway leads under a wooden bridge to a cliff with sweeping views of the ocean.
This folk dance company showcases music and dances from across Peru. Performances are intertwined with live music and dancing. Guests can also enjoy local food and drinks.
There are close to 2,000 cevicherias in Lima, but this one offers the best food in a great environment. Stop by at lunch and see why they have the best ceviches in town.

I disagree, but understand where you are coming from.
Unfortunately, the people responsible covered up a serious crime. Something has to be done. It just is. There is pretty much no way to justify it, by the type of crime.
Ultimate...life is hard and seldom fair. It just is.
Dendrobates said...
We know that Sandusky was proven guilty. We know that PSU has covered up some of the allegations against him in the previous years.
Right now, we have the evidence of victims who are claiming they were in a sex ring, partially based on Sanduskys actions. Those are the facts right now. That is what I am talking about. If I misspoke about that before, I apologize. But that is what I am referencing. It is currently still an open investigation.
Dendrobates said...
They are. But the point is, there are more victims who are coming forward. And hesitantly/understandably so. This is not an easy subject. Even what we know, right now, do you really think they were the only ones? Yes, I am speculating. However, history repeats itself on these kinds of situations. When someone commits this type of crime, it is not their first time. They became good at it. We are finding this out now, through investigation, and suspicious "cover-ups." There are people whom are being rightfully punished by the court system. However, there are some that have already are some (passed-on and living) that are being brought into allegations. This is a very complicated, and diverse crime. Most people see this as a very bad cover up. Of course, not quite proven, but in some ways yes. It is easy to see how this is continuing, but more people coming forward and naming names, and listing details. I have an issue of PSU fans, and anyone, kind of brushing this off. And it does appear that PSU fans are trying to brush it off. This is what the rest of the public is very pissed about. Hence why some people have a chip on their shoulders about this stuff.
Dendrobates said...
I thought I heard of a few others, but I may be wrong.
But yes, let's just dismiss all of it because 1 person in this situation is claiming about the sex ring. Everyone else dismissed this the other evidence for years, let's continue with this.
Exactly why this happened.
MZizzle2 said...
We haven't brushed anything off. The media is the one who should be blamed for making this more about PSU football than the victims. I still don't see why you think we should have been punished by the NCAA though? This was a terrible crime and I am 100% for everyone who was involved being punished and that is happening through the judicial system. The NCAA decided to punish the school too when 99.99% of the people associated with the school did nothing wrong.

I get that, but you are acting like you are the only ones who have ever been punished for something that didn't affect everyone! Every single punishment, works on everyone.
Whom can you trust? How far can you go? This was a football coach, who still used all the faculties, who knew what kind of influence he had. Was it unfair? YES. Is it justified? YES. Too much shit happened to innocent children that was proven to be covered up for YEARS. We do not know that 100% of the people are being punished right now. That is part of the issue. It wasn't realized how bad it was, and then was discovered to be been covered up by some high up people, including the football program.
You cannot say 99.9% of the people in this are clean. No one at first thought such a big person of the school/role model could do this. That is the point in it. It is crap, that they current program suffers. I do not disagree. But, sometimes you just have to clean house and throw everyone under.

I remember seeing Braxton Miller juke your linebacking corps out of their shoes on his way to pay dirt as well as Ryan Shazier grab a pick six from old Moxie. So from my standpoint, the stats are probably indicative of the actual performances. Shazier definitely outshined both Mauti and Hodges in the head to head matchup and at this point in time is a better playmaker than both of them. No disrespect to Mauti and Hodges. They're great. Shazier is better. I agree with Devidee.

Did you see the hold on that play? Of course you didn't you moron. Mauti was held badly. You don't think there was a hold, you don't have a clue about football./
OSU won, but did you realize Mauti had 13 tackles to Shazier's 7?
Shazier isn't better. He led the nation in whiffed tackles. He wasn't consistent throughout the season and he didn't possess any leadership qualities.
Shazier's pick six was something my 10-year old son could have made. Please don't make that out to be an outstanding play that he made. McGloin threw it right to him.
Devidee is an idiot when it comes to these things. He would think Braxton Miller is better than RG3.

You mean that excellent pancake block that the ref standing right in front of him didn't think was a penalty (but many of your "The Big Ten is out to get us" conspiracy theorists will blame the ref for being dirty). How about that sack that Shazier had on old McLovin right before the pick 6? Dude closed on him in microseconds. Quite the big time play.
So you're saying that Mauti had 13 tackles in that game compared to Shazier's 7? Well I thought you guys didn't like stats for making the argument. Glad to see you've come around. Well, if it's stats you like, here's a few for you:
On the season, Ryan Shazier had 21 more solo tackles than Mauti.
Ryan Shazier had 17 TFLs and 5 sacks. Coaches' 1st teamers Michael Mauti and Max Bullough combined for 16 TFLs and 5 sacks
Credit goes to TJMMBuckeyes from a thread discussing this issue on the P.s.U. site. I'll take Shazier and his superior speed/hitting ability every day of the week.

I'm pointing out he had better stats you idiot in that game - using your argument and throwing it back in your face. So ...
Mauti didn't play the last seven quarters. I'm sure he would have gotten some tackles during that time and would have surpassed Shazier. If you don't think he could have gotten 21 in that, you have a major problem.

It is late. I've got to work in a few hours.
Just trying to show you how most other people think outside the "PSU fanbase"
Most everyone agrees the current students are getting unfairly punished, but understand why it's happening, and why it's better than nothing. Shitty, but possibly necessary.
"If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets." ― Haruki Murakami
ejb5212 said...
Why was it necessary? Serious question. The point of punishment is to prevent what happened from happening again. You really think the number one thing on spanier Curley and Schultz' mind right now is the sanctions? No they are worried about court, which they should be. All the sanctions did was whip the proverbial fallen horse.
tbdbitl said...
Wrong... there are 4 aspects of punishment.
#1-Retribution: making the person/group/university to pay for their misdeeds #2-Deterrence: making sure others that see this crime understand what will happen to them if they perform the crime #3-Rehabilitation: helping the criminal or criminal institutions to stop and learn #4-Societal Protection: keeping the criminals away from the rest of us
Any # of these (1 or all 4) can be present as a means for punishment.
The sanctions apply to #'s 1, 2 & 3. So yes, the sanctions were needed and necessary.

This is a great park (Tropical Palms)-------the pool is fantastic with a wading pool for the little ones in the same area----and a pool side restraunt for nice little breakfast or lunch or just refreshments. YOU WON'T FIND ANY FISHING THERE----that I know of. Plenty of stuff for the kids to do----from basketball, volleyball, badmitton, horseshoes, and for the old stiffs (shuffle-board). The sites range in price-----we take the electric and water sites in the grassy area with some shade----they do have a dump station or two-----and I think we paid $24 plus taxes for that site.........then they jump up to $33 or so and $36 - $40 for the slabs that are packed in like sardines in my opinion. Old Town is within easy walking distance------lotsa shops for the shoppers---and rides and games for the young at heart or younger. Short drive to Mickey Mouseland-------short drive to the local Publix Super Market and other tourist trap type stores. I promise you -------- you will find it very acceptable.

I had several concerns about Tropical Palms in March. I know I was paranoid since my hubby wasn't with me and it was just me & the 5 children, but... here they are: The park backs up to a nice fence with a large grassy field beyond. What I didn't see at 10 PM were the massive power lines above. I was OK until I heard them buzzing and popping all night - that tells you how quiet it was during the week!
Old Town is a small permanent carnival. On Saturday night we had to watch for drunk Spring Breakers crossing the street. The Lights and noise did reach the northern edges of the campground, and some of the booms from the human slingshot or whatever were unnerving. Agaain, I was paranoid by myself! Lastly, the snakbar manager told me one of the best things about his job was the scenery. He overlooks the pool. Go figure. Grammy came eventually, and she stayed in one of their cabins - Super clean, little kitchenette, loft above for sleeping bags. Really a nice convenience. You can buy discount attraction tickets in the office before noon, and even exchange foriegn currency there. She was most pleased! |

Stayed there for a week during Spring Break. Lots of big, open sites around the perimeter. Pool is family-oriented, with lots of kids. Very convenient to Old Town, and easy to ride bikes on sidewalk along Hwy. 99. Friendly staff. Clean.

Mikulski, Cardin seek halt to postal center study
Thursday - 2/23/2012, 3:40pm  ET
EASTON, Md. - Maryland's senators are demanding a halt to any study by the Postal Service involving the closing of the distribution center in Easton and moving mail processing to Wilmington, Del.
In a letter dated Thursday to the Postmaster General, Democratic Sens. Barbara Mikulski and Ben Cardin said the call for a new study lacks transparency and disregards public input. They said such a move would delay the delivery of mail to more than half a million residents on the Eastern Shore.
Mikulski and Cardin also said the move would not likely result in cost savings.

The Department of Energy Is Under Attack. Cyber Attack
Some Firms Named In Documents
Despite the heavy redactions of the documents, some firm names are visible. For example, on March 21, a network engineer from a firm emails the government asking, "Is there anything we can do to get our IP Address unblocked?" the firm's name is redacted, but boilerplate legal language at the bottom of the email is not, and appears to show that the email came from EDF Trading Limited. That company did not immediately respond to a call for comment Thursday.
A separate email chain dated from March 11 to March 16, 2011 shows correspondence between the Department of Energy and David DeVoucalla, whose title is given as Infrastructure Demand Manager. The company's name is redacted. However, a LinkedIn search by CNBC shows a page listing a David DeVoucalla as infrastructure demand manager at Shell Oil in Houston.
In correspondence with the government, DeVoucalla asked "what is the threshold used to define "reasonable number of times per second?" And later, he details a number of steps his company will take to appease the Department of Energy and allow the government to unblock his company's access to the site. "I would like to visit with you to ensure you have the confidence you need to proceed with unblocking access," DeVoucalla writes in an email.
In a statement to CNBC, Shell's senior manager of US Media Relations Bill Tanner wrote "every week, at a time certain, the U.S. Department of Energy releases public information regarding aspects of the Nation's energy supply. Once released, there is a rush to get the information (via the internet). DoE is responsible for ensuring equal access to the information in a timely manner. Apparently there was a technical issue with the web site in the past, which has since been resolved."
The Department of Energy's communications with the private sector themselves appear to be handled largely through an independent contractor, Chenega Government Consulting. That firm, based in Virginia, is a subsidiary of Chenega Corporation, an Alaska Native Corporation owned by the Chenega tribe based in Prince William Sound.

iPhone 5 bad call voice quality
I wonder the same thing. The early batch may still have the old "Audience" hardware & software in it, so it may work fine for those people that got the iPHone 5 in October. The later batch has Apple noise cancelling chip & software in it, so that's when the problem started.

A comment on the varieties of sound and the cnet article mentioned above.
I belive there might be different sound problems (as discussed earlier in the thread somewhere). The choppy sound in the cnet article is just one of, I believe, three or four symptoms. And, for the record, the cnet sound clip was not at all representative as to how bad my two phones have been.
The other syptoms are:
2) words cut short (by the noice cancellation?). I.e. that low sound seem to be removed, and with total silence between spoken words. This seems, in my experience, to happen in rooms with little background noise.
3) muffled sound (I have dubbed it Kenny voice, after Kenny in south park).
4) Robotic sound. I have no idea what people refer to when saying the sound is Robotic. Is it like the choppy sound in the cnet test?
I have myself experienced the first three. I have no idea if the cause is the same or whether they have each a separate cause. Number 2) does not sound like a reception issue, while the first, the choppy sound, very well can be just reception.

I have a iphone 5 here in Belgium using Proximus carrier, I have the problem with robotic voice, dropped calls on about 35-50% of my calls. Even with hearing aid on.
So I tried the Verizon sound clip on Cnet. If the sound on that clip was on my "bad" calls I would be happy, with me if it starts it is realy like a robot, with parts of the conversation dropping completly and you can't understand a word, sometimes the sound comes back sometimes the call drops.
I've been using the phone now for about 2-3 months and getting more and more frustrated that you can't trust your phone to do the most basic thing....

+1 here. If I could get the same call quality from my iPhone 5 like on that Verizon clip I would be more than delighted. At the moment parts of the conversation are dropping out completely and you can't understand a single word people are saying to you while they hear you exceptionally good.

I agree my calls sometimes gets much worse than the cnet verizon sample, but it seems to be the same kind of choppy garbled voice just exadurated in certain calls. So if you lengthen the gaps and gable sound it does make words of the person on the other end skip.
The muffled kenny sound is something I have experienced as well. Its only for a few words every now and then and goes back to sounding more like the verizon sample.
I cant comment on the robot sound as I have not experienced that. If my calls sounded like the at&t/sprint clips I would be completely happy with this phone, but as of now I dread making a phone call or answering one because I dont know the severity of how bad it will sound.

I called the land line on my desk and could hear the iPhone 5 mute the mic when I stopped calling. The room was quiet enough that the mic would mute between my sentences. It would turn on as soon as I started talking.
It's possible that if the location is very quiet and the voice was low in volume that it could cut out during a conversation. It all depends on how the mute threshold is set. One immediate solution is to speak louder and make sure the mic is close to your mouth. I can see how a speakerphone session could mute if the room was quiet and the voices low with the phone a distance away.
I did notice if I turned the phone around and spoke to the back of the phone, my voice was almost completely cancelled out. So it's possible that holding the phone at an angle might cut out your voice if the rear mic was picking up your voice.
My current location only has two bars and the voice quality was fine.

Hunting causes...you described my problems to a "T". I am also noticing that it occurs more in my home office, which is very quiet, and absolutely is more promenant when the volume on the other end is low. But, when I use my earbuds all calls are garbled in my home office. When we tried the earbuds in the Apple store the quality was better.
My brother and neice both have iPhone 5. His is an early version and hers is the same as mine (Christmas). He does not have this problem. I haven't been able to talk to my neice to see if she does or not. So, the earlier post about the later production phones being more suspect may be on to something.

Dear Charles Park Seward,
That's an interesting test, and does seem to corroborate that the muting/drop-out problem is present on your phone, even though you reported being perfectly happy with it. However there's another test you can run, I'll repeat here in case it's difficult to find in this long thread. In that test, you'll hear it fail profoundly:
(1) Perform the test in a quiet room, so you can comfortably hear a phone call at the lowest volume setting.
(2) Insert the Apple provided headset.
(3) Call Hertz at +1 877 654 4400.
(4) After you initiate the call, lower the volume to the lowest setting (one square). (This must be done during a call because your call volume setting may be different than the volume setting that applies outside of a call.)
(5) Note the profound long silence after the call rings and answers - eventually you'll hear some broken speech.
(6) Call the same number from your good landline or mobile phone other than iPhone 5, and note that the long silence was actually a recorded message that your iPhone 5 discarded or muted so you could not hear it, and that the rest of the recording is not broken up when heard from another phone.
This test has reproduced the drop-out problem on every iPhone 5 I've tested, on every carrier, on phones whose owners claim work fine. Someone should pass this along to someone who can help us.

The reason you don't have the problem in the Apple store is because it's noisy, and you'll naturally turn up the volume. The drop-out problem is worse at lower volumes, reduced at middle volumes, and almost gone at high volume. Of course your hearing will be gone soon at high volumes, too, so that's not much help.

Yes, there is a difference in call quality if you lower the headset volume to one square, almost inaudible. The gate just starts to work. I don't know why I would lower the volume that low. I found a comfortable setting about half way up and I could hear the call clearly with no breakup.
If you look at professional audio plug-ins called a Gate, you will see settings of threshold, attack, hold and envelope following. Perhaps the threshold on the iPhone 5is set to high for quiet voices. My voice is strong so I haven't noticed any dropouts.
Here is an article about noise gates:

I was hoping that was true. I switched out my phone. It is having similar problems, and it is made in October like the first one I got. Maybe I should ask for an older model.
Still, I did not update my software... it didn't make much difference.

I am having the same issue with iphone 5. Continuous fade in / fade out during the calls. It happens on every call. Even i changed carriers, still the same issues. Sometimes completed block out what the caller is saying. The other end can hear me crystal clear. I tried everything like switching of Wifi, opened apps etc. Problem continues. Its really frustrating and the phone is useless when you can't use basic and very important function smoothly. The skype calls are very clear though. Unfortunately, i bought the phone is US and now i live in latin america. Worried about support. Hope, the apple fixes the issue in the upcoming iOS 6.1 update.

"Great System, does as advertised buuuut. . ."

- Sh*t load of saves that work. (to my surprise)
- Easy to use. (Not that that matters to me)
- Use locked profile saves without jailbreaking your PS3. (F*in A+)
- Easy to upload your saves. (Though I don't usually)Cons
- For those who /buy/ it from the store, you have to wait a while to get it.
- Unreliable tech support.
- Not free. (Teehee)Summary
Interesting system. I'm happy that I found it. It works great! I got stuck a few times in some one of my games, so I gave myself a little nudge. . . So to speak.
Anyways, I'd have to say that this maaay be worth buying for most. But for those who speak my language. Yaaaaar! -
"Software does not work, there is no customer support"
Version: PS3 Xploder 126.96.36.199
Volunteer run forum seems fairly active
Software does not work. Support tickets will never be answered.
I really question the source of the two positive reviews. On amazon, I have reported fake reviews and had them removed before.
There is NO customer support for xploder products.
On September 18, 2011 I purchased the Xploder Xbox 360 Ultimate Cheats System for $19.99, which is just the program and not the cable. Only later did I read on another page, Xploder Xbox 360 Cheat Saves Downloadable version, that you needed a cable also, "This product is for people who already own a xbox 360 memory card transfer cable and want the software immediately."
This was never explained on the Xploder Xbox 360 Ultimate Cheats System page.
I then asked for a refund on the support site (ticket #908636), and waited. No refund came, and no response from the support site. It is October 1st, 2011, 13 days later and the support ticket is still open with no response, despite my three messages in that support ticket.
So I instigated a Paypal dispute refund. Paypal viewed the dispute, and decided I should get my $19.99 back. Although they ignored my support ticker, Xploder was quick to nullify my code for the Xploder Xbox 360 Ultimate Cheats System once I got a refund.
I REALLY wanted this product though. So on September 19, 2011, I ordered the cable and software from the company for $14.99 plus $4.99 shipping. On September 27, 2011 I received the cable from the UK. I was surprised. The only thing in this white envelope was a cable and a one page receipt. No instructions, no download CD. Nothing.
So I went to the website to find a driver for the cable. There is a link which states: Driver Download here:-
X360MemoryUnitDriversV1.2.rar when you click on this link, you go to the main forum page. There is no driver. So I registered online.
I searched for hours for a driver. It was not obvious where the driver even at. I found what appeared to be good tutorials, but none of them worked. My computer simply would not recognize the cable. I saw several other people with the same problem, many of their questions when unanswered. So I posted an online forum question. NATAS 3:16 responded that "the search button works if you use it" and posted two forum links with downloads which could not be found in any of my searches. I downloaded the driver, X360MemoryUnitDriversV1.2.rar? which had three dll files: Xbox360MU1.inf Xbox360MUSD.inf and Xbox360MU.inf The cable still did not work. Reading the forum post I saw that other people were having the same problems.
I wish I would have bought this product on Amazon, with their no hassle return policy. Now I have to instigate another paypal dispute refund.
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. It does not work. There are no instructions for installation in the package it ships in. There is no easy way to find the drivers needed. There is NO customer service support from Xploder itself.
Alternatively, if possible, get the PC version of the game, and mod it that way. That is what I am doing with Dead Island.
Other notes:
Confusingly, the code the company sends you to activate the software is in a xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx format, but you have to type in the code in this format: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
To create a support ticket, the password to register is pre-generated.
The registration for the forums is different than the registration for the main site. -

I like the way you can access 100's of gamesaves from the internet downloads section. makes it easy to find a save and start playing straight away. also the upload facility is cool. so you can share your own created saves immediately.
In vista you need to right click on the program icon to run as administrator first time, to register it, took me a while to figure that out. you only have to do it the once though.

I picked up this book with low expectations and it's counsel I would like to pass on to other readers. With that approach, you could turn the last page and be content. It's not a wow book but it's a good read filled with nuggets of wisdom.
It's the kind of book that every successful businessman who has introspected on his life will write but Bagchi does have a nice touch indeed.
Keep a marker handy for those snippets and reflect how you could apply those wise words to your life. In between, you'll have to pass through his autobiography which isn't the most exciting so be prepared.
All in all, I'm sure there are better inspirational/autobiographical books out there but there are no regrets at all in picking up "Go Kiss the World".
Subroto has one important message for the current generation about to start their careers - do not overplan. As Rabbi Sherre Hirsch says "We Plan, God laughs". God does laugh even at Subroto every now and then, and to overcome this he shows how a heads down approach has worked very well for him, and should work for most of us too.
One flaw in the book from my perspective is that even Subroto falls prey to presenting his DCM experience with a senior manager as a "I'm right, and he was wrong" view. Similarly with his last conversation in WIPRO with Azim Premji. Humility? Errrrr...
This is a very good inspirational and motivational life story. This story belongs to a middle class Indian boy and his life. Normally in India a real middle class boy fears to take risk, and leaves a normal life with a secure job. But Mr. Bagchi came from such a family and became a successful entrepreneur; you can get a lot of lessons from his story.
The initial part of this book may feel bore as it contains some odd village names and most about relocation (But it stands good for me as it reflect my story). But go ahead … He has elaborated all his experience in such a beautiful manner that you can't leave the book in the mid.
it is simply superb.depicts the miles travelled by subroto since 1976 so less travelled by others of his ilk! he is different from the beginning be in the classroom at vani vihar or at chanceller cup bebate ,ncc mountaineering receiving award from pm indira gandhi and he has remained so now looking at life from different angles. the lucidity of language the flow of narrative the honest expression explain the experience and exposure he has gained in his varied works and life situation all over the world.wish more from subroto.
I am really surprised seeing good reviews about this book.
It can only be because those readers were first-timer reading a biography or they read just for sake.
Well, i started this book with big things in mind,but i was thoroughly disappointed.
I never found out the answers to the questions i had in mind which i expected the book to answer.
This is no match at all compared to JackWelch and Sam Walton biographies,which opened me to better thinking . (Yet to read Losing my Virginity ! )

On This Page
Group Health recommends that you bring your child in for regular visits to help keep your child healthy. Choices for your child's care include your primary care physician (family practice doctor), another family doctor, or a pediatrician.
During these well-child visits your child's doctor will give any vaccines that are due, check your child's growth and development, and test vision and hearing starting at age 4.
Vaccines protect your child by immunizing him or her against certain diseases. Many of these vaccines protect your child for life. Some vaccines will be given as one shot (dose) or a series of shots (two or more doses). When available, we might give your child vaccines that are combined together in one shot.
For your child to be completely immunized against a disease, he or she must get all the recommended doses. There have been outbreaks of serious diseases in children who did not get fully immunized.
Also see: Common Questions About Immunizations
Some vaccines are required before your child can go to daycare or school. Washington and Idaho provide the following information on immunization requirements:
If you have a record of your child's immunizations, please bring it with you to your child's appointment. That way we can make sure we have the most up-to-date information.
Even if your child isn't due for vaccines, be sure to bring him or her in for a well-child visit. These visits give your child's doctor a chance to find and treat any concerns early. It's also a good time for you to ask any questions you have about your child's health.
Visit and Immunization Chart
This chart lists important vaccines and tests as well as recommended well-child visits. In addition to these vaccinations, we recommend all children aged 6 months and older get a flu vaccine every fall.

16 years | Well-child visit MCV booster |
We recommend a well-child visit each year from ages 10 to 18. To make sure your child doesn't miss a visit, make the appointment one to two months before your child's birthday. If your child needs a sports or camp physical, you can schedule an annual well-visit at the same time.
For well-care visits for youth, read about teen appointments.
Well-Care Visit Questionnaires
A health questionnaire should be filled out before well-care visits for children and preteens. Teens should fill out their own questionnaires. Print and fill in, and take to the appointment.
- Children 15-18 months old
- Children 2 years old
- Children 3 years old
- Children 4 years old
- Children 5-9 years old
- Preteens 10-12 years old
- Teens 13-17 years old
(At age 18, see the Adult Well-Care Visit Questionnaire.)
Immunization Glossary
Newborn blood screen
Your baby will get the newborn blood screen before leaving the hospital. This test looks for certain conditions so we can treat them early, before they lead to more serious health problems.
Protects against three diseases:
- Diphtheria can damage the heart, kidneys, and nerves. About one person in 10 who gets diphtheria will die from it.
- Tetanus (lockjaw) causes severe muscle spasms that make it hard to breathe. Tetanus happens when the tetanus bacteria infects a wound. About six people in 10 who get tetanus will die from it.
- Pertussis (whooping cough) causes severe coughing. It can also cause convulsions, brain damage, and death. Very young children are at the greatest risk of complications due to pertussis.
Protection from the DTaP vaccines can fade over time. To keep immunity strong, adolescents and adults need booster vaccines. Tdap is used as a booster vaccine for adolescents and adults to protect against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis. Pertussis can cause death in infants up to 6 months old. For this reason, anyone who has regular contact with an infant younger than 6 months old should get a Tdap booster.
Hepatitis A
Protects against hepatitis A, which can cause severe liver problems.
Hepatitis B
Protects against hepatitis B, which can damage the liver, cause liver cancer, and lead to death.
Protects from Haemophilus influenzae type b, which causes severe infections of the brain, blood, joints, bones, skin, and throat. It most often affects children younger than 5 years old.
Protects against diseases caused by the specific genital human papillomaviruses (HPV) contained in the vaccine. These HPV viruses can cause genital warts, anal cancer, and precancers of the cervix, vulva, and vagina.
Influenza (flu)
Protect against yearly flu viruses, which spread quickly from person to person. The flu can be very serious, causing high fever, seizures, and diarrhea. It can also lead to more serious illnesses, such as pneumonia, and make chronic health problems worse.
Protects against polio, a severe crippling disease. About one person in 10 who gets polio will die from it.
Protects against three diseases:
- Measles, which causes fever and rash. It also can cause convulsions, deafness, and blindness.
- Mumps, which causes fever and swelling of glands in the throat. It also can cause deafness, brain damage, and sterility in males.
- Rubella (German measles), which usually causes only a mild illness in children but is very easy to catch. If a pregnant woman gets infected with rubella, it can cause miscarriage or birth defects in her unborn child.
Protects against meningitis, which is an infection of the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord and causes blood infections.
Protects against infection from the pneumococcal bacteria, which can cause ear infections, meningitis, blood infections, and pneumonia. Pneumococcal infections can be serious and may lead to death.
Protects against rotavirus, which causes severe diarrhea in infants and young children. It may also cause fever and vomiting. The vaccine is given in three doses orally (by mouth). The doses are recommended at 2, 4, and 6 months of age. The first dose should be given between 6 and 14 weeks of age. The series should be complete by 8 months of age.
Protects against chickenpox, a potentially dangerous illness that can lead to death. If your child has had chickenpox, he or she might already be immune and may not need to be vaccinated. Discuss this with your child's doctor.
Immunization Records
You can view your child's immunization records online by signing up for parental access to MyGroupHealth. The online records are available for children from birth through age 12 who get care at a Group Health medical center. If you are a new Group Health member, please bring your child's immunization record to your first visit so we can add these to your child's Group Health record.
You can get a Lifetime Immunization Record card to track your child's immunizations. Ask your child's health care team for a copy or contact the Resource Line.
Getting Help
Always call if you have any concerns about your child's health. For life-threatening emergencies, call 911. For other health concerns, call your health care provider during office hours. After office hours or on weekends, contact the Consulting Nurse Service.
Coverage may vary by health plan. To check your benefits, refer to your coverage agreement or contact Customer Service.

Friday 24 May 2013
The 2012/13 Barclays Premier League season started on 18 August, and it was Chelsea who made a perfect start to the campaign with three wins out of three in the opening month.
Summer-signing Eden Hazard and UEFA Euro 2012 winners Juan Mata and Fernando Torres were proving instrumental as they defeated Wigan Athletic, Premier League new boys Reading and Newcastle United to take an early lead in the title race. Just one position further back were one of the early season surprise packages – Michael Laudrup's Swansea City. Summer signing Michu proved an instant hit in the Barclays Premier League, netting twice in their 5-0 opening day win over Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road before adding to his tally in the club's 3-0 victory over West Ham United.
Reigning champions Manchester City were given a scare by Nigel Adkins' Southampton, who were appearing in the top flight for the first time since 2005. Southampton took a 2-1 lead on the opening weekend at the Etihad Stadium, before late goals from Edin Dzeko and Samir Nasri maintained City's formidable home record.
City made an unbeaten start to their title defence and they were joined at the top end of the League by West Bromwich Albion and Everton, who secured an impressive 1-0 win over Manchester United, who had given debuts to Shinji Kagawa and Robin van Persie, an August arrival from Arsenal.
Fulham forward Mladen Petric, who signed from Hamburg on a free transfer in the summer, also hit the ground running with two goals in the Cottagers' 5-0 success over Norwich City on the opening day. West Ham United were the only newly-promoted team to register a win in the first two matchweeks, as Kevin Nolan's strike gave Sam Allardyce's charges a 1-0 victory over Aston Villa.
As the early-season table took shape, a host of Premier League teams were frantically bolstering their squads before the summer transfer window's deadline passed on 31 August. Arsenal, who started the season with two goalless draws, prepared for life without Van Persie and Alex Song, who joined Barcelona, by bringing in Spain midfielder Santi Cazorla from Malaga, joining France striker Olivier Giroud and Germany forward Lukas Podolski as Arsene Wenger looked to reinforce his firepower.
North London neighbours Tottenham Hotspur were particularly busy in the closing stages of the transfer window, as they completed the signings of Bleus goalkeeper Hugo Lloris and Fulham duo Clint Dempsey and Mousa Dembele, as well as completing the permanent transfer of Emmanuel Adebayor, who had starred for Spurs in the previous campaign on loan from Manchester City.
West Ham brought in England striker Andy Carroll on loan from Liverpool, as well as Matt Jarvis from Wolverhampton Wanderers. Saints broke their transfer record to lure Uruguay midfielder Gaston Ramirez to St Mary's Stadium from Bologna. Japan's Maya Yoshida and Zambian African Cup of Nations winner Emmanuel Mayuka joined Ramirez on the south coast.
Other notable deals included Stoke City's capture of Liverpool midfielder Charlie Adam, who Brendan Rodgers replaced with Joe Allen - a star of Swansea's debut season in the Premier League. Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov completed a move to Fulham while Manchester City bolstered their title-winning squad with Fiorentina defender Matjia Nastasic, Everton's Jack Rodwell, Swansea forward Scott Sinclair and Inter Milan's Maicon.
"I always listen, in these situations when you have to make a hard decision in life, to the little boy inside of me. What does he want? That boy was screaming for Man United."
Robin van Persie after completing a big money move from Arsenal to Manchester United.
"A lot of pressure was on us. I thought we were the only team that could lose something today. We missed a lot of chances, and Southampton played well, but we are happy with the three points. We have a few things we can improve on, but we always do that."
Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany.
"Yeah, he's showed all his qualities today. It was a pleasure to watch him today, so we are happy that he is in our team."
Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo is full of praise for new signing Eden Hazard after his impressive debut against Wigan Athletic.
"Well for me, great, and for the team even more. To start with a victory like that, not only the five goals, but to win an away game in the first game of the new season, a very difficult away game, against a team that has always caused a lot of problems for Swansea. Last season Swansea won their first away game in January, so it's exactly what we needed."
Swansea manager Michael Laudrup after his side's 5-0 opening-day win over QPR.
"It ended up being a very good a day. One-nil, clean sheet, James Collins back and solid in defence, giving us the platform to win this game today, lots of good performances from the team and very pleasing for everyone at West Ham today to get a very, very good start."
West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce after his side made a winning return to the Premier League.

All Aboard 650b
Although it was late to the 29er party, Magura already has a model for 27.5-inch/650b wheels—sort of. The company's 150mm 26-inch fork, formerly called the Thor 150 and now called the TS8 R 150, just happens to be compatible with 27.5-inch tires up to 2.3 inches wide.
There's little new for 26-inch forks, but the existing forks have been renamed to sync with the 29ers. The TS8 forks sit at the top of the line and the TS6 forks are more economical. Unlike the 29er forks, 26-inch TS6 forks use a standard quick release. All models will be offered in multiple travel options from 80mm to 150mm. Finally, the top-end TS8 R 150 comes with the Albert Select damper.
Our Take
I'll be frank: I've ridden Magura's forks over the years and have not been impressed. What bothered me most was the air-spring curve—there was a big hammock in the middle that made the fork dive and blow through its travel. Additionally, the forks would gum up very quickly, sometimes after one dusty ride, becoming sticky and insensitive.
The fork I rode in Sedona—the 26-inch TS8 R 150—felt far superior to Magura's earlier offerings. Unfortunately, there were not enough 29er bikes to go around, so I didn't test the 29er version, but the air spring, dampers and components on the new 29er forks are similar to the fork I rode.
Magura re-tuned the air-spring curve last season to be more progressive and resist blowing through travel mid-stroke. I only got about 120mm out of 150mm of travel, but there weren't a lot of hard, high-speed hits on my ride. The fork comes out of the box smooth—my test model had zero miles on it. A few more hours of break in time is necessary, but the fork feels quite sensitive already.
As promised, the fork is remarkably stiff. I installed it on my Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Expert Carbon Evo, which came with a 150mm Fox Performance Series 32, and handling improved noticeably. The Magura tracked better with less fore and aft deflection. It also felt like the Magura had less dive—the EVO's stock Fox does not have the RLC damper with adjustable low-speed compression—but the Fox felt more sensitive and provided better traction. We'll see if the Magura can catch up as it breaks in more.
