Electrolosis won't cook!
Built a crude quick system this week in a 5 gal. bucket using 4 re-bars, bare copper ground wire attached to rods with SS hose clamps. Used baking soda (all I had) and it worked great for 2 days. It pulled 2 amps all of the time. Stripped both rust and paint.
Now, it is not pulling any amps and no action in the tank. Water is not real dirty and rods are clean. I changed to a different charger with the same results.
What am I doing wrong?

Baking Soda not being the best to use.. will probably give limited life cycle in a tank..
Why Not sure..
Add some more baking soda.. and see what happens.. good experiment
Also.. don't skimp.. the water will take hold a lot of soda in suspension. When it no longer will absorb the soda.. then you have reached its max saturation point. .. that will be probably be the peak performance mark.
I like TSP.. and I will stick with TSP.. but that is just my preference. I have never had my tank not cook..

I would clean all connections again. If you are using an automatic battery charger you will only draw a few amps unless you put a battery between the charger.I like to use a manual charger. it will usually give you six amps untill the rust is gone.Like Rudi said try using more baking soda if that is all you have.

Update on cooking parts. I discarded the re-bar that I was using with the SS clamps. I don't believe that I was getting a good connection. Instead, I am now using one 21" lawn mower blade with a heavy ground wire that comes out of the solution, so the positive lead can be attached.
It is working great! I have cleaned the front axle and all related parts, tie rods, etc. As we speak, it is now cooking the steering gear base.
This is all being done in a 5 gal. bucket with baking soda. I now have a 55 gal. drum that I plan to use, when I get time to set it up.
Thanks for all of your input.

I would try to find some Washing Soda... Seems to have limited availability, but it is always in stock at the smaller grocery near my house, hidden in the laundry detergent section (same yellow box). $2.39 for 3+ pounds.
Also, I run a wire brush on the rebar every day. But after a few days you really need to let em dry and run through a wire wheel. I use a bench grinder outside for that. Also, I have had good luck with jumper cables. The key is a good connection.

I use washing soda and for the last week, my tank has been barely moving the needle on the charger. After reading the suggestions, today I removed the 6 rods in my 55 gal set-up and one-by-one used the grinder and completely cleaned the rods down to shiney bare metal. Boy, what a difference. The tank started bubbling and crud started floating to the top within minutes. It's been a steady charge of about 4 amps all day.
Thanks Guys,
When I told my dad I've been misplacing things and doing stupid stuff----His reply---"It only gets better"
I realize that the price of copper has gone out of sight, but has anyone tried to use schedule 40 copper pipe for anodes? I have 4 or 5 pieces of 1/2 " copper pipe about 4' long. Copper to copper would give good connections. What would happen if I used them as my anode rods?

Hoss, copper makes a mess and is just the wrong material.
I may try some old shovels soon, since it is cheaper to buy a new one than to buy just the handle.
Yep Rick, clean rebar makes all the difference in the world.... but it really is a nasty job to get em clean! I also think eventually they just loose something, cause the old ones just don't work as well, but it may be just me.

Has anyone ever tried using a pressure washer to clean the anode.

I have two 55 gal. plastic drums, one on its side and one upright that I use. Have always used regular old baking soda. When it slows up cooking you need to clean your anodes and check connections. Since my tanks are outside I've switched to stainless steel, (supposed to put off bad fumes etc.) they seem to stay cleaner much longer. I hit with pressure washer or a rough, plastic scouring pad to knock the loose paint off. Presently stripping some of those old fashioned metal porch chairs for the wife. Roger B.
To use an expression that the young use today, ME BAD!I have been worrying everyone on here and scouring every grocery and market in a 50 mile radius as to where I could buy SUPER WASHING SODA. Well, as it turns out, my local Kroger 8 miles away, has it. I bought 2 boxes today for $2.06 ea. You can call 1-800-524-1328 and they will tell you your nearest store.

I am seriously considering building one of these tanks but the messages I see regarding the usage of stainless is puzzling to say the least. I realize that they work better and faster with less effort to clean the electrodes between usage but the following is a warning I found on a website as to why to not use stainless. I'm all for making something tough easy, but I ain't real big on dealing with the results mentioned below:
Why you should not use stainless steel electrodes for electrolysis
Many people using the electrolysis method for rust reduction swear by stainless steel, stating (incorrectly) that it's not consumed, stays clean and seems safe.
Stainless steel is indeed consumed when used in the electrolysis process, although slowly. The main problem with using it is the hazardous waste it produces. Stainless steel contains chromium. The electrodes, and thus the chromium is consumed, and you end up with poisonous chromates in your electrolyte. Dumping these on the ground or down the drain is illegal. The compounds can cause severe skin problems and ultimately, cancer. Hexavalent chromate is poisonous. These compounds are not excused from hazardous waste regulations where household wastes are.
These compounds are bad enough that government regulations mandate "elimination of hexavalent chromate by 2007 for corrosion protection."
Does your electrolyte turn yellow? That's a sign of chromates.
If you have been using stainless steel for the anodes (positive electrodes), wear rubber gloves when working with or near the liquids. If you need to dispose of it, allow it to evaporate into powders and dispose of the powders in sealed containers during your local "hazardous waste clean-up days".
Best bet - don't use stainless steel no matter how tempting it is.
Yep.... I read the same thing (Donny M pointed it out) and immediately quit using stainless.....
It does work much better in many respects, but I decided it wasn't worth the risks.

I think I mentioned this before.. but HexaValent Chromium present in the water table in Hinkley Californiawas the reason why Erin Brockovich became a household name as well as extremely wealthy. If you remember, the actual attorney, Ed Masry, she worked for passed away a couple months ago... Pacific Gas and Electric vividly remembers and regrets the use of Hexavalent Chromate... and so should anyone else.. it is a no-no big time..

Nope, not gonna use Stainless in an Electrolysis Tank.

Rachel Riley grapples with crocs Tick and Tock
6:00am Wednesday 30th January 2013 in Local News
COUNTDOWN'S Rachel Riley left behind her glamorous TV lifestyle to spend an afternoon grappling with 6ft crocs at an animal sanctuary.
Maths wizard Rachel, 27, visited DWARF (Dangerous and Wild Animal Facility) in Great Wakering on Sunday. She helped with the annual check up of Caiman Crocodiles Tick and Tock.
Sanctuary manager Jamie Tritton, who volunteers at the centre, said: "She was really nice. It's rare for someone like that to get on and want to hold the animals. I was surprised but she was more than happy to.
"The Caimans can be nasty and do a lot of damage but they were taped and had been out of the pool for an hour so were calm when she held the female which was around 6ft."
Tick and Tock, who were named by pupils at Great Wakering primary school, were given a clean bill of health before being returned to their pool.
They are set to move on to a new home at a British zoo later this year.
The former Southend High School for Girls pupil grew up in Thorpe Bay and her family are friends with Iain Newby who runs Dwarf.
Rachel's brother Alex used to volunteer there before studying for a zoology PHD.
She tweeted after her encounter: "Got up close and from the looks of this photo a bit too personal with some caiman today! Thanks friends @DwarfSanctuary."

An Old School Chain Saw Retrofit
Chris Corson saws the eaves off his house on a freezing-cold morning in Belfast, Maine before wrapping the entire building in Grace Ice and Water Shield and polyiso insulation.
Carpenter Rich Perry uses a heat torch and roller to make sure the bituminous membrane adheres fully in the cold temperatures.
Luke Small applies a rainscreen siding detail over the insulation jacket.
An insulation and window upgrade, topped by a Galvalume roofing and pine board siding facelift (above), will transform the dated exterior into a top-performing, durable, and modern-looking weather envelope.
Last year, Coastal Connection followed along as Belfast, Maine, builder Chris Corson built his first custom home designed to the strict Passive House standard for new construction. That house was completed in January of 2012, and was featured in a two-part article in May and June in The Journal of Light Construction (see "An Affordable Passive House" by Christian Corson, Part 1 and Part 2).
Corson is currently working on another near-zero-energy new home in Montville, Maine, and has two more custom homes on the drawing board. But during the spring lull, he had time for a different sort of job: a deep energy retrofit of his own house near the Penobscot Bay in Belfast.
Extending zero-energy methods to existing homes is important, Corson argues. "Maine not only has one of the oldest populations in the country, we also have some of the oldest housing stock," he says. "Passive House is great, and what we're doing in new construction is great, but to not address this existing housing stock is a major problem."
Energy issues aside, Corson's own house was overdue for an exterior makeover. "It was a perfect candidate for exactly what we're trying to do," he says. "There were things we have been putting off. We needed to re-side it anyway — the cedar shakes are forty years old, and the asphalt roof was fifteen years old. And then we had a window of opportunity this spring, so I said 'Let's do a deep energy retrofit on this house.' Then I started running the design through PHPP [the Passive House Planning Package], and I said, 'Hey, let's see how close we can get this house to Passive House.'"
The Passive House program has different, slighty more lenient criteria for a deep energy retrofit than for a new construction project. For example, the retrofit standard, EnerPHit, allows an airtightness blower door test value of 1 air change per hour at 50 pascals of pressure (ACH50), rather than the 0.6 ACH50 required for a new house to pass. With the project still in progress, Corson has already gotten his older home down to 0.9 ACH50. And he hopes that by chasing down and plugging stray leaks, he may actually be able to meet the Passive House standard for new construction.
The above-ground part of the building has already attained a near-perfect air seal, Corson says. "I struggled with the concept of using Larsen trusses or TJI's on the outside of the house, wrapping the house in a cellulose jacket and really doing an R-50 wall," he says — the same approach he succeeded with on the new home in Knox last year. "But I just couldn't make it work for a retrofit. So instead I bought a whole truckload of recycled polyiso rigid foam insulation, and we just wrapped the entire house with polyiso."
Step one was to strip off all the existing siding down to the board sheathing (see photos, above). Corson also trimmed all the existing roof overhangs back to the wall plane. Then he wrapped the entire structure — walls and roof — with Grace Ice and Water Shield bituminous membrane. The 5.5 inches of R-7 rigid foam were applied over that air-tight, vapor-tight inner skin. "It's an old-school, 1980's-style chain saw retrofit," says Corson.
The crew also replaced all the home's old windows with triple-glazed Intus windows — the same brand Corson used for last year's new home project.
The existing basement, however, proved a trickier problem. Corson decided to exclude the basement from the conditioned envelope by insulating the underfloor framing cavities with six inches of low-density, vapor-open spray foam. "I've got R twenty-something in my floor, which is great from an insulation standpoint," he says. "And it works from an airtightness standpoint, but it's not as good as I would like it to be. And I think this house could have gotten to Passive House airtightness levels — 0.6 ACH50 — if I had a better way of air-sealing the basement."

CATEGORIES MoviesIf you thought the prospect of Lindsay Lohan playing Elizabeth Taylor was ridiculous, wait until you hear who else is being considered: "Transformers" star Megan Fox.
According to E!, Larry Thompson, a producer for the upcoming Liz Taylor Lifetime biopic, revealed that -- along with Lohan -- Fox is on the shortlist to play the icon.
"I've been talking to Lindsay Lohan directly, and with her reps, and have been in conversations with other actresses, including Megan Fox."
The mention of Fox will likely do nothing to dissuade the Taylor fans who were up in arms over the possibility of Lohan being cast. But, Thompson added that, "It's a very serious selection ... It's like casting for Hollywood royalty."
A "serious" selection? Are we talking "Jonah Hex" serious or "I Know Who Killed Me" serious? Liz Taylor fans will find out soon enough.
UPDATE: Lohan has been cast as Taylor. Production is set to begin this June.

Meyer Sound Laboratories, Inc.
, announces the appointment of Eddy Vermeersch as Meyer Sound's Director of Asia-Pacific Technical Support. His primary responsibilities are providing design and commissioning support for new installations and rental rigs sold in these territories, and reinforcing Meyer Sound's marketing activities in the region. Based in Thailand, Vermeersch can be in close communication with Meyer Sound's distributors and clients in Asia, who are in the same time zone, and is well positioned for travel around the Asia-Pacific region.
Vermeersch has enjoyed a long and varied career in the audio industry. He studied electronics engineering in Leuven, Belgium and spent his twenties working around Europe, both with proprietary sound systems and as a freelance engineer for music concerts, discos, fashion shows, tours, festivals, and other outdoor events. As a sideline he rigged touring systems and installation projects, including flying whale skeletons in the natural history museum in Paris, and designed his own rigging systems. "Rigging is still my favorite hobby besides sound engineering," he says.
Vermeersch initially headed east to spend some time in Papua New Guinea, where he wound up handling the PA for a papal visit to Port Moresby in the early nineties. From here he worked for a PA company in Malaysia before traveling to Thailand to work for a production company on international acts, often handling entire Asian tours. He took care of technical co-ordination, production logistics, system design, monitor and system engineering, backline tech, rigging engineering and whatever else it took to get the show going.
Moving into the manufacturing domain, Vermeersch joined Crest Audio's Asian office in Phuket, Thailand, as application and service engineer for the Asian and Pacific regions, where he set up service labs, trained engineers and performed onsite trouble shooting duties. When he was offered a position with Meyer Sound as the company's first Asian support engineer, Vermeersch says he didn't think twice. "Now it's back to the real thing - sound systems - and with the number one loudspeaker manufacturer. For me, the difference with Meyer Sound is the fact that the company is still independent and its owner is leading the live sound industry in R&D. This, complemented with an incredibly strong team of professionals who love what they do, greatly distinguishes Meyer Sound and its products from the rest of the pack."
Recent projects Vermeersch has worked on with Meyer equipment include Planet disco install and Anchol shows in Indonesia, an install at Pasir Ris in Singapore, the PATA show in Malaysia and Spaceship and Modesto clubs in Vietnam, as well as numerous projects in China including the Fountain Club, National Games closing ceremony, the Three Tenors in Beijing, national soccer shows, Channel V Awards and the Chinese New Year CCTV show 2002.

Super Bowl - Bumper
The Super Bowl Festivities are in full swing despite the weather. While at the media center, two of Dallas's greatest athletes gave us their input.
"The attraction of Jerry's World will make people still come in and still get out." Says NFL Hall of Famer Michael Irvin. Texas Rangers co-owner Nolan Ryan said, "What we hope is that we have a great game and the weather's good and everybody has a good time."
The ice surely didn't dampen the spirits of the soldiers waiting to meet Gene Simmons at the Aces and Angels party. Celebrities and Athletes alike turned out to support the Vegas style fundraiser. Lisa Endicott, event organizer stated, "What a better time to say this is how we treat our citizens and what we think about our troops and what they've done for us." There was even support from our own Dallas cowboys. Of course I had to ask the most obvious question.
I asked Dallas Cowboy Sam Hurd, "How are you feeling about the Super Bowl?" Hurd answered, "I'm excited, it's in Dallas. A lot of people are here." Tashard Choice, Dallas Cowboy running back said, "We gotta get back to our ground one and get ourselves back in the playoffs. It's been a tough year. Probably the hardest one I ever had, but you know we'll work on it." For the most part regardless of the ice, people are managing to slide on into see their favorite celebs and support their favorite charities.

The game was awesome but single player campaign was utterly small game was very enjoyable game play is too gud in first one but there is no chance for pc but features section belongs to BORDERLANDS make sure to edit that thing and last word go for it its worth the money noir style games are rare cases so i like that one and also Alan wake released for PC its the best survival horror for pc now go grab that one too for horror lovers.
Some FPS stand aside from others and this one surely does.
Got the limited edition of Darkness 2 today from NextWorld.
Played two hours and here are my thoughts so far:
I haven't played the first one but this one ic cool. Fast paced and griping storyline plus gruesome action and finish moves.
Graphics are somewhat comic style and great nonetheless, best yet the in game dialogues don't look fake and devoid of emotions like some other games.
Bullets and darkness power arms are hell of play experience. Shoot em, Slice em, Catch em and rip em.
Surely an addictive one. I am mostly a TPS game pl... (Expand)
An amazing game that puts you in a super fast ride.
The comic-like graphics is executed pretty well but has short single player campaign (3-4 hours max),but immersive story and action.Violent in the start and consistently violent in the end.
Though this game requires steam and frequent updates this is worth a buy.
Just been playing through this game on the weekend and I must say the cell shaded graphics(which is awesome and commendable), the demon arms, the darkness aura powers and my darkling's funny sense of humour does it all!
Hitman/Power up/Health/Demonic Executions, each have their own varied style of graphic mutality.
And yes the game has two alternative endings, and I do suggest that you game on in the 'Don' mode to extend ya playability factor. Even after the main campaign ends, we can unlock a new game+ mode to carry on the dark talents acquired and build on the skill tree and might I als... (Expand)
okay i didn't buy this game, rather i downloaded it, but hey, there's no difference. so you can buy if you want, but there's no point. can't comment on the other comics part tho. plus, this review requires atleast 200 characters, so sorry for your time.:)

if sherrod goes on IR it will be like we have 3 first round draft picks next year.....kinda
Giovani Bernard.
|Sponsored Links
Alright I start looking through some names for running backs and I found one that I kind of like. I haven't looked at Giovani Bernard so I can't say how I feel about him yet. I don't know if anyone has mentioned him yet chances are he won't come out this year he will go back to school for another year but, Eddie Lacy from Alabama.
The kid has decent speed and is basically a bowling ball you have to wrap him up and take him down to tackle him. He has decent vision in the game highlights I watched. He is also good in pass pro and receiving. I think he would be a good fit in our system but would be more of a mid round back.
I didn't go back through the thread so yeah you guys probably could have talked about him
I think I have found my 2 fav running backs that could be coming out this draft first was Eddy Lacy which I stated above and than the other back that I found that I like but, he is a junior and could stay another year is Joseph Randle. He just is an explosive runner has good speed and is not afraid of contact.
Watch that game and maybe you'll see a glimpse of what I'm talking about. Looks a lot slower, like he's walking on ice. Just not sure of himself. I think that's the biggest difference from this year to last he's finding the hole and gives a lot more of a burst. I still don't think he's going to burn anyone around the edge but it's an improvement.
Yeldon is AP2.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"These came in just as I expected & they even added an extra line for me so that I could add in our wedding website address. I had ordered the sample of the invitation size & was expecting something of a similar size, however, these are more the size of a post card (which will probably save us in postage)."
"First time ordering from WPD. Everything was perfect on my Save the Date card. I ordered the card with the chambord (plum) color. Arrived 4 days early. Definitely ordering Invitations with WPD."
"The cards were incredibly easy to customize and I loved the selection offered. I live in the UK now, so it was key for me to have fast and reliable international delivery, which is exactly what I got. I was stunned at how quickly the cards came and was impressed by the quality, especially given what a great price they were. Will definitely use them again to order Thank You cards and will recommend to all my friends."
"I was surprised by the paper used to create our save the dates! It is very high quality. All of the printing came out correctly. I liked that I was able to change the color of the flowers. Overall very highly satisfied with the product!"

USD 489 board hears audit report
Ken Beran and Melissa Romme of Adams, Brown, Beran and Ball, gave the Hays USD 489 district's audit report.
The district is facing a budget shortfall of approximately $200,000, and board members asked the accountants for recommendations to avoid similar situations in the future.
Beran's recommendations included researching to better estimate costs, preparing monthly reports and setting aside contingency funds.
"I'd say get a format to get a monthly report to the board on what you're spending, (and) what your cash balance is," he said.
A contingency fund would cover unexpected expenses such as boilers, buses and roofs.
"We usually say about three months of operation (costs)," Beran said.
The board also voted 5-0 to name Elizabeth Jaeger as clerk of the board. Jaeger is assistant to the superintendent.
Current board clerk Cheryl Shubert will be the deputy board clerk.

Rwanda: Why sterilize the poor?
Rwanda's economy is said to be doing well, so how does population size become a problem that requires dire, questionable voluntary vasectomies of the poor?
by Charles Kambanda, PhD
At issue is not whether the country needs sound family planning policy. Whether the political elite will stick to voluntary vasectomies is the main concern. Conceptualizing "voluntary" vasectomies in Rwanda's contemporary public policy, history gloss and politics is utterly crucial.
The timing of sterilizing 700,000 males raises red flags. In Rwanda's socio-political environment that swivels on passivity, apathy, suspicion and docile citizenry with militarized "civil society," securing free will of the men to be sterilized borders on insanity.
Who are the poor?
The deprived are the Twa, a secluded ethnic group. The needy are the Hutu peasants who survived the Congo refugee camps' massacres. The hard-up in Rwandan society are those few Tutsi survivors of genocide who have not benefited from the genocide survivors' fund. The underprivileged are the Hutu populace that was uprooted from their land, without compensation, under the habitant and land reform government policy.
The poor are those Tutsi returnees who have no close relations in the Tutsi dominated government. The bitter fact is that poverty in Rwanda runs along the country's ethnic divides. The poor are mostly victims of the country's unresolved ethnic and power sharing crisis.
History is seldom a bad teacher. However, people are hardly good students of history. Rwanda's post-independence history, not different from the country's pre-independence era, insinuates a constant fight between the Hutu, the majority ethnic group making up about 86 percent of the population, and the Tutsi, the minority ethnic group making up about 14 percent. The Twa hardly make up 1 percent.
Growing or dropping in numbers of either ethnic group is an issue for each ethnic group's political and physical survival. The Hutu-Tutsi co-existence failed on a win-win modus operandi. The victor seeks to depopulate the loser, or at least to delay the other ethnic group's violent return to power.
War crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide have long been a "social engineering" and depopulation strategy geared at incapacitating the loser in the country's power grabbing paradigm. In 1959 it was some Hutu's turn to "depopulate" the Tutsi.
In the 1980s a Hutu-led government flocked the Tutsi to cannibals and crocodiles in the country's national park, Akagera. Although scholars disagree on whether the 1994 genocide was committed by only the Hutu against the Tutsi, the scholars appear to concur that genocide was a strategy to "tame" the enemy's unmanageable and unwanted population.
The brutal massacres of the Hutu refugees in Congo, which the United Nations' Mapping Report accuses the Tutsi-dominated Rwandan troops of, could also be viewed from this perspective. With growing international enforcement of laws on war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, Rwandan society appears vulnerable to apparent legal methods of birth control like "voluntary" vasectomies to achieve the traditional ethnic depopulation conspiracy.
Sociologists, philosophers and psychologists have long discussed whether a poor person can make choices. Do the poor have free will? The Rwandan government does not appear uptight about this paradox. The poor, who cannot nourish their children, are said to be going for "voluntary" vasectomies. This is the proverbial hiding of the head in the sand.
If poverty is a criterion for vasectomies, free will cannot exist
Public policy analysts consent that current latent public policy ideas and motives of any country must be read in light of the similar previous policy. First, the government of Rwanda implemented the habitant and land reform policy. People were supposed to abandon their traditional homestead and go to live in settlement centers – imidugudu. The previous homesteads were meant to be for farming. Initially the government called it a voluntary policy.
Implementation of this policy turned out to be forceful and inhumane. Some government officials snatched victory from the jaws of defeat; they grabbed the land people had abandoned for settlement centers. Second, the government's policy of what was called voluntary sharing of land between the Hutu owners and the Tutsi returnees ended in the forceful grabbing of land from the Hutu in many regions of the country. Will vasectomies of the unprivileged males be voluntary as the government suggests?
Self-propagation is a basic need and right. However, producing excessive children, as many Rwandans do, is a symptom of insecurity and poverty. There is a general demographic pattern for the well-off to produce between one to three children. The deprived generally produce more than six children. It is no surprise that in a country like Rwanda, where about 75 percent of the population survives on less that $1 a day, the population is increasing by 3 percent per annum. If quantity of the population be the problem, vasectomies are not a durable solution.
The first beneficiary of development is the human person
The quality of a country's human resources and not the quantity is what matters. Investing in human development is the only sustainable solution. The Rwandan government has sustained one of the most expensive wars in Africa. It is well documented that Rwanda has one of the biggest and most heavily armed militaries in the Great Lakes region of Africa. Rwanda runs the most expensive presidential personal security unit in Africa.
Rwanda's economy is said to be doing well. Ironically, money is available. How does quantity of the population become a problem that requires dire, questionable voluntary vasectomies?
Human history demonstrates habitual failure by some leaders to reconcile the existence of the poor in an environment that the political leadership project as prosperous. Adolf Hitler exterminated the gypsies alongside the Jews because the gypsies – the poor – would negate the economic prosperity of Germany. This is how seriously the world takes protection of the poor.
Crime against humanity
Vasectomy in this unique Rwandan context might amount to a crime against humanity. The essence and function of government is redistributing resources and power among the citizens. Vasectomy in a Rwandan context manifests government failure to perform its core functions and responsibilities. The policy mirrors incivility, lack of public conscience and negates the basic ethical tenets.
Dr. Charles Kambanda, Dip.Phil., BA, LLB, MA ETPM, MBA, MA HRTs, LLM, PhD, teaches at St. John's University Law School, LLM Center, New York, and previously lectured at the National University of Rwanda, where, according to the Rwanda News Service, he was known for his "outspoken nature." This story first appeared on The Proxy Lake: Views and News on the African Great Lakes Region.
26 thoughts on "Rwanda: Why sterilize the poor?"
Kambanda, we Rwandans know you very well !!! It is not a surprise to us of what you are uttering by telling lies to the whole world. You need to listen to Hon. Hilary Clinton, the US Secretary of State in her statement in Addis Ababa where she praised Rwanda for its sounding and growing economy. I think you are aware that she has people on the ground who operate independently and report independently to Washington!!!↓
Rwanda is a country where genocides have happened, Killings between Hutu and Tutsi. Where the president (Tutsi) has repeatedly said that he regrets not to have killed all Hutu in many speeches. It is very questionable to use Vasectomy. This is regarded by all Hutu as another form of genocide.
Charles Kambanda is therefore very right but the Rwanda government should stop this tricky system to exterminate its people.↓
This program to sterilize males has nothing to do with ethnicity, genocide or any other issues expressed above. Rwandan society has a tradition that is based on large families. Now if you arent aware, Rwanda is among the most densely populated countries in the world, with families continuing to have six to eight kids per household, and yet the economy is one of the poorest. On top there the AIDS epidemic that the government is trying hard to keep in control. Now unless you are a malicious, apathetic person, you'd know that having tons of kids who end up starving, or are born with AIDS or end up on the streets is not doing the right thing. Why make other people suffer from your action even if done subconsciously? Now you people have personal issues with the president, and are going around spreading bad images/rumours and stinking the image of Rwanda. Really guys why dont you take your issues with the President to him personally. Charles Kambanda, PHD, I didnt know you, but know I do, what a waste. You could do better.↓
Dunia, Shame upon you!!!!!!!!!!! In 2011, U and Kambanda are still harboring ethnic divisionism !!!!!!!!!!! U must be mentally disturbed!!!!!!!!!!! U must have left Rwanda in 1994 and u don't know what is taking place in Rwanda!!!!! H.E has never stated your allegations. Rwanda will move on as planned!!! U will find your colleagues along the way!!!!!!!!↓
John Mulligan
Worked for China. Hope it works for Africa.↓
June Sina
Kambanda is not Rwandan-I know him very well.He is one of the few Ugandans who took advantage of the disorganisation of the Rwanda's education system shortly after the Genocide and came posing as a University Lecturer while he himself was still a student at Makerere University in Uganda.He cant even speak a single word in Kinyarwanda.We are not worried about you sir because you are a foreigner after all.↓
So what? Does he need to be Rwandan, anyway? Discuss the weakness of his analysis, if any, not what he is. This is how adults behave. You are behaving like a spoilt child. Sina, find another forum for your childish mentality.↓
But his article is not in Kinyarwanda. Therefore whether or not Professor Kambanda speaks Kinyarwanda should not an issue. Not so?↓
Ashley S.
Prof. Kambanda! Lol, I happen to be in one of your classes and I indeed believed you're a good teacher in many ways. However, please stop this ethnic divisions and focus on the future of your home country. I have personally been in Rwanda at least three times. One of the reasons of my travel to rwanda was to study the impact of the genocide on the Rwandan population and its consequences. Unless I really misses the point, which I highly doubt, most of what you're saying here is wrong! Do you really get anything from turning your back on the people who desperately need you? Can you really stand up and claim, in front of your trusted friends, that Rwanda is an evil place to live? Let's be honest here. Rwanda is not USA and they certainly still have a long way to go. However, even the little progress that is made can be easily weakened by people like you who focus too much on the past than on the future. Help your people move forward. We, american people, do not necessarily need you.↓
Birth control will not solve proverty, Rwanda's problem is letting foreign LEACHES remain in their political and economic affairs
If only the Hutu and Tutsi and other ethnic groups can stop using petty difference to divide them and become more cohesive
UNITY is the answer to all of Africa's problems↓
Kambanda, I pity you !!! Am worried of the the American students you are poisoning with your ethnic divisionism you are still harboring!!!!! The university authority should dig you deep!!!! Otherwise you killing young generation!!! Why don't you concentrate on your greener pasture you went to look for!!!!!!!!!! Mind your business!!!!! leave alone Rwandans!!!! Apart from having been in Rwanda for sometime and benefited, you are not part of the them!!!!↓
If what's going on in Rwanda non of our business then why is it being reported
in this newspaper, here in the US????????
We're not the only ones medling in your business so is the U.S. Gov't who possibley implemented
this birthcontrol method↓
You should watch the documentary MAAFA21 and learn how the population Control and Eugenics agenda targets all blacks http://www.maafa21.com↓
I thought i was only the person who know Kamabanda Charles (kambacha on yahoo e- mail) fortunately enough, many people even Americans have known you especially not because you are a useful creature but because you have divorced your sens of sincerity. Rwanda did alot of things for you including payment for your tuition at various levels irrespective of the fact that you were not Rwandan child. You came from deep in the village of Sembabule in Uganda, you have been modeled by Rwanda and now turned into a detractor. I argue you to stick on you profession not make a short cut to politics.↓
If I was Kambanda with a dirty background as he is, where majority knows me, I would make sure that I am not known by anyone where I am!!! I would concentrate on my survival to avoid people exposing my dirty background !!!!! Like claiming to be a Rwandan when am not!!! Do you speak as a concerned Rwandan or an expert on Rwanda?↓
I am not sure Rwanda is moving to the right direction. I would need to be educated on this. However, going by the comments on this article, I observed three major things: 1st. All postings against the author of the article appears to be from one person. The "English" being used is the same. All mistakes are the same throughout the "comments". 2nd. I am not sure the "comments" make sense. All I read is that Dr. Kambanda is not Rwandan, the author of the "comments" keeps saying he/she knows Dr. Kambanda. However, the article is nowhere about Professor Kambanda's history. The article says nothing about "ethnic division". 3rd. All the "comments" against Professor Kambanda's article do not deal with the substance of the article.↓
Very interesting.↓
Suppose Professor Kambanda was not Rwandan as Pierre claims, would it change anything? Does one need to be Rwandan to write an article about Rwanda? Doe not being Rwandan mean "dirty background"? I find Professor Kambanda's analysis a perfect presentation of the problems Rwanda must address. Why sterilize, in the first place? Why don't you talk about improving people's quality of life? Rwanda's President earns $30,000.oo per month on top of all the facilities he enjoys as President. He flies the most expensive jet on the continent. Rwanda's army has been able to terrorise all the neighboring countries. Rwanda runs the most expensive lobbyists in WASHINGTON and London. If all these unnecessary cost were reduced by half, people's lives would be great and there would not be any reason to fear for the "increasing" population↓
Bravo Professor KAMBANDA CHARLES the great thinker of our time. You make Rwandans feel proud. You taught me at the National University of Rwanda. You won the prize of the best Professor, 2004. Professor Kambada you are an icon of truth. I just like the way you confront injustices without favor. You are a true son of the great but messed up continent, Africa. You speak with that strong authority. I admire you↓
Professor Kambanda is a very intelligent person that Rwanda should have done everything possible to retain him. I just met Professor Mureramanzi, another very bright Professor who fled Rwanda four years ago. Instead of looking for ways to convince such people, some Rwandans have resorted to character assassination!! What can you do about people like these whose intelligence has been tested and proven substantial? Professor Kambanda Charles was prominent in Makerere University, Uganda. His former students in Makerere have always showed him with praises.↓
akiiki richard s
if what i have read is true,then a new form of 'genocide' is already happening in Rwanda! however,i think this borders on insanity and find it hard to believe.↓
Kambanda i consider you as a failed professor, u got the Nationality u wanted, its wat gives u the liberty of talking all that no sense. we no u very well, u taught us u know but thats not how they look for a leaving. am very sorry for u.↓
No time for the people misleading Rwandans. Rwandans knows who they are and where are from.
and they cannot be taken with such views an visionary people.↓

We obtained a breakdown of how often portable cameras caught speeders on the first day of operation in the city of Cleveland.
Yesterday the city put up portable cameras at several locations around town to snap pictures of speeding cars.
The drivers will get tickets later.
The city says the cameras took hundreds of pictures.
However, all of those pictures have to be reviewed and investigators have to track back the license plates before any tickets get sent out.
Additionally, a few hundred will automatically be thrown out because the city did not have proper signage warning drivers about the cameras.
However for a glimpse of what the cameras are seeing check out the break down below.

After my recent blogpost I got a lot of questions about shooting the XT1. Do I shoot the Fuji's at weddings? Yes. Do I exclusively shoot them? On an eSession, yes , for a wedding, not yet.
After getting to know the XT1 (and XF56) for a couple of weeks I felt confident enough to challenge myself to try and use it as a primary body. I would still use my 5DIII but I didn't want to give the XT1 the role of backup/secondary. I wanted to see if it could perform as the primary-body in the near future.
The main reason why it is difficult to just change camera's is that the couple has booked you more than a year in advance based on a portfolio shot entirely with full frame bodies & fast primes. So I wanted to be careful not to have a different style or feeling towards my pictures just because the camera has changed. Yes, the photographer makes the picture, not the camera , yada yada …. but there is no denying that the XT1 is a different animal and it has an impact on your photography. It also takes some courage to leave behind what you have loved & known for all these years. Yet, that is part of the excitement of the X series. It challenges you!
So, the evening before the wedding I selected & packed my gear with the goal of being able to take everything in just one shoulder bag (instagram pic):
The canon gear was a no brainer. I'm very much in my comfort zone in every situation with just these 3 lenses. I don't feel the need for an ultra wide zoom or long zoom anymore. For the Fuji gear I decided not to take the XPRO1 with me because I wanted to focus a bit more on what I could do with just the XT1 instead of doing a lens dance between bodies all day. I even had space left to throw in the X100S.
I can pack lighter. There are some overlaps. I'm sure my gearlist will change over the next couple of months.
The pictures I'm sharing with you in this blogpost are a small selection of every part of the day shot with the XT1 so I can share my thoughts on the camera and how it performed or why I chose not to use it. To have a good understanding of my final product, you can see the complete slideshow as it was delivered to the client here. (The ratio Canon vs Fuji here was 98 – 63)
Getting ready
I love this part of the day, the atmosphere, the tension. It wasn't hectic, it was relaxed, I had time. It was the perfect start of the day with the XT1. Some details, the make-up, some candits, … When the house filled up with people Inge took refuge in the back room, not much elbow space there, the size & unobtrusiveness of the XT1 make this the perfect camera for these situations. The focus was only hunting a little bit when shooting the bride in backlight, but since make-up isn't exactly fast-paced: manual focus came to the rescue. This is the first time for me with any camera ever that I actually use manual focus and have success with it. The focus peaking (introduced a while ago) and the new split image view are great tools to have. There is really no noticeable difference between the camera's.
First look
A "moving" situation …. Honestly , I've always shot my 5D's in single shot without any form of focus tracking. I've been testing the XT1 tracking at home, and it does a good job. But I still don't feel comfortable enough with it so I used my 5D here. I did "snap" a couple of pictures once I got my safe shots. Quality was up to par, but I had the better pictures with my 5D. I feel that in this situation I would always grab the 5D as long as I have it with me.
City Hall
I still have the feeling that I'm generally a bit slower with the controls on the XT1. The D-Pad really sucks. I miss having a vertical grip (but then I add weight again). But a civil ceremony in Belgium is rather predictive, there was enough light so I didn't expect focus issues and I generally felt very comfortable & stealthy with the XT1.
Exiting city hall I used the 5D… I shoot full manual on a dSLR, it's a second nature to me. So in theory, with the dedicated dials for ISO, shutter speed & exposure comp this should be really easy on the on the XT1. But it is not … if I have to change the shutter speed I can't keep my camera very steady … that dial is not in a comfortable position for me. Fortunately, the exposure compensation dial is so I find myself shooting in AV mode while constantly adjusting the exposure there … I would love to be able to put the shutter on bulb and being able to use ALL shutter speeds under 2″ as well…. This is a request I haven't heard a lot so lets all shout out for this and hope for a firmware update! I must say the the exposure that the camera gives is pretty damn good to begin with. I like my images a but light so I'm mostly at +2/3 standard. Seeing the "live" exposure in your EVF before you actually take the image helps you if at any time the camera meter messes up. (backlight / a white dress / etc….)
I think habbit took over here. I did most of the shoot with my 5D. Strange because I already use the X system exclusively on an eSession and we did have a stress-free shoot with lots of time. So most of my "keepers" are from the 5D and (for my doing) I got some more "classic" portraits with the XT1.
In good conditions the XT1 can't let you down much. In bright light conditions, (and I wear glasses) I prefer the viewfinder of the 5D over the XT1 EVF. I have less light leaking in.
One annoyance I have is with the ISO dial. When you keep your camera bodies dangling around your shoulders you can easily change that dial underneath.
I hate it when all the sudden it's on bracketing or panorama when you put the camera to your eye. I don't have an issue with the ISO lock itself but I can't seem to change my ISO without bumping into that dial underneath when I'm not looking.
Another thing about the D-Pad. I configured my XT1 as such that every one of them activates the AF point selection. It would be great if the first click could already move the AF point so you don't need two clicks each time. (The buttons are rather hard to click by accident …)
BTW, if you are looking to make those buttons a bit easier to reach, check out this sugru fix
From the ceremony onward I used the XT1 more and more. I just love some of the shots I got here, great colour, no issues with focus and the XF56 is such an amazing lens, it's so bloody sharp everywhere , and even wide-open , so so so impressive. Even with all the L lenses, this is easily one of the best lenses that I own. I feel that I get more in focus shots wide open than with my 50mm 1.2. (also considering the fullframe DOF difference). Do watch out that when shooting fast primes with a shutter limited to 1/4000 can get you in trouble, I'm getting a ND filter.
This many hours into any wedding and you are very happy you can shoot everything with the X camera's. The weight factor is something you can't deny. You feel less tired, your back doesn't hurt. You blend in. I even shot all of the formals (except the larger group shots) with the XT1.
(No, I didn't say a word to pose those kids. They are just all natural like that!)
I didn't stay until the opening dance so I didn't get to use it in very low light. And I know I would have taken a safe shot of the opening dance with the 5D first. Next couple of weddings I'll do some experimenting on the dance floor. (Note: you can configure your TT1 + AC3 zone control & TT5 to work on top of you Fuji!) I took some venue overview shots & table details , the indoor reception (dimly lit) & the opening speech with the XT1. No complaints there. The ISO performance is brilliant
Design of the camera
My feeling here is that for professional use it should perhaps be a bit bigger. I have big hands, I didn't get cramps or anything but the XPRO1 just feels a lot better for me. As a right-eyed shooter, the rangefinder layout clears the camera from your face so you can access all of the buttons a lot easier (especially the D-pad)
The XT1 can deliver, It's more a matter of feeling confident with it in handling than it is a matter of performance or quality. The are still some minor issues, it's not perfect yet but for me personally I feel that Fuji is damn near to close to that.
I was happy to see that in terms of keepers it was a close match between the 5D and XT1. This will help feeling more confident in using the camera during a wedding day. I'm also very pleased that in the final slideshow the images from both camera's blend in together nicely. I also want to thank Inge & Rav for an amazing day and the awesome feedback I got from them. In the end, as long as you make your clients happy, the camera shouldn't matter much.
Even after 6 years, your first wedding of the season is always a special one. And I'm glad I got to spend that day with Rav & Inge.
More pictures await when you get back from the honeymoon!
Yep, I suffer from a man-bag syndrome. I own a couple of bags, my day-to-day-go-everywhere Ben Sherman bag, a shootsac, my carry-all thinktank retrospective camera bag and as father of two, the Storksak diaper bag. Yet all of them have a specific function. Still, I was looking for the type of bag I need most.
My commuter bag to carry my macbook and other stuff is a plain black boring backpack, when I also want to carry my camera the only option is to bring another bag or just toss the camera in there, unprotected. I went searching or a messenger-style bag that can both carry my macbook pro and function as a camera bag. I also wanted it to look trendy & inconspicuous. And that narrows down the field tremendously. A tip from a friend landed me on the ONA website.
One glance at the product line-up and you immediately notice how serious they are about their craftsmanship and that they are targeting a more high-end range. My eye fell on The Union Street, it's the smallest available that can carry a 15″ laptop. (Dimensions: 42cm x 28cm x 12,7cm / 6.5″L X 11″H X 5″D). With a price tag of 299$ it doesn't come cheap and I didn't really want to pay a steep 65$ on shipping with the possibility of duty taxes. I found a reseller located in Europe, PLABER store had the bag delivered to me within the week.
My thoughts on the bag.
The bag is gorgeous and looks surprisingly compact. It feels sturdy though it is on the heavy side (1,67kg / 3.7 pounds). The waxed leather looks and feels amazing. I think it will even look prettier over time when it has some wear & scratches. The brass belt buckle is a nice detail, but I'm happy I can just use the clips to open & close the bag. It would be handier if the straps were a bit longer so the bag closes easier without having to squeeze everything. However I must admit that after a couple weeks of use the leather settles in a bit more and it gets more flexible. As long as you don't overfill the bag, you're good.
The inlays are soft & sturdy offering the necessary protection for your camera gear. A 15″ inch macbook pro retina is a tight & perfect fit. (but if you have a bulkier laptop I suggest you test that first). The shoulder strap isn't the most comfortable but then again, I'm not planning on doing a marathon walk with it. On a citytrip, I'd leave the MBP locked in a hotel-safe and happily carry the bag around all day.
The bag handle is what I struggle with most, I'm not feeling very confident about the stitching and when you pick it up that way the bag tilts 45° which makes it impossible to walk around like that.
On the inside there is lots of room for storage when you organize things. (Drop down to the bottom of this page for a list & pictures). You can customize the compartments and you can take out the laptop divider if you need to. The front pocket won't open up as nicely as shown on the ONA product website and when you cram too much stuff in there the belts are not long enough to close the bag. I only carry some extra batteries, memory cards and my wallet in there. The back pocket is more of a flap than a pocket, it's good for some papers but everything you put in there will just bother you because you'll feel it scraping against your back/bum.
The bag design is gorgeous but not flawless. Form over function? Maybe. The bag is not ideal for everything/everyone but it fulfills my needs. And while not intended as such I could easily see me using it as my one bag during a wedding once I'm completely mirrorless.

Prep & Landing Gingerbread Man Decoder
HYFFE VXFUMBHLM! Use this adorable gingerbread decoder to unscramble this message and make a few of your own.
- Print out the decoder on regular paper or cardstock and cut out all of the pieces.
- Place the smaller wheel on top of the larger wheel on the gingerbread man and attach them using a brad.
- Think of what you want to tell someone. We'll use "Merry Christmas" as an example.
- Set your decoder by lining up two green letters with two white letters and a symbol. (For example: Line up the green W and X with the white Q, H and ornament.) Keeping the decoder lined up, find M on the inner wheel of white letters and write down the green letter right above it on the outer wheel. The letter is H. Your scrambled message should always be made up of green letters from the outer wheel and your plain text after it is decoded will be found on the inner wheel of white letters. Repeat this for each letter of your phrase.
- The code should read "HYFFE VXFUMBHLM." Give the code and decoder to someone to decipher your message. Don't forget to tell them how to set the decoder! (For this message we used the green W and X with the white Q, H, and ornament.)
- Sample message: HYFFE VXFUMBHLM
- Set your decoder by lining up the letters the way your message sender tells you. For this sample message line up the green W and X with the white Q, H, and ornament.
- Find the first letter of your message, H, on the green-letter outer wheel of the decoder. Write down the white letter right below it on the inner wheel. The letter is M. Repeat this for each letter of your phrase.

Course Customization
Course Homepages can be customized by adding or modifying the Widgets. Widgets are the individual 'boxes' on the Homepage, such as NEWS, CALENDAR, and UPDATES. However, the default course homepage cannot be modified.
There are two main steps to creating a custom homepage.
1. First, create a NEW homepage. For ease of use, we recommend 'copying' the default homepage layout and then making modifications to the 'copy' instead of starting from a blank page.
2. Second, add Widgets. These can be system widgets or custom widgets that you create. D2L has several 'system' widgets to choose from or you can create your own widgets. Types of Widgets you might want to create include: Course Banner, Library, Instructor Info, etc.
Customizing Current Homepage | Customizing Colors | Managing Widgets | Creating Widgets | Banners
Customizing Current Course Homepage
1. Log into D2L.
2. Choose your course.
3. Click on Edit Course.
4. Click on Homepages.
5. Click on the Copy* option under the drop down menu beside Course Default. We recommend copying the default homepage which includes the basic system widgets.
*Note: If you want to create a new blank homepage, click on New Homepage instead of the Copy icon. Follow the same basic steps.
6. Click on Copy of Course Default.
7. Rename the homepage if you desire.
8. Click Add Widget to add widgets from the System or Custom Widgets to your homepage. Click on the add widgets that is under the corresponding section you which to add them to.

10. Click the copy of the course you made under the active homepage drop down box and select apply to active it as your homepage.
11. Click on Course Home to return to the homepage.
Customizing Colors
You can enhance or change the appearance of your course and help users identify your course more easily by modifying the colors used in the interface. The Learning Environment uses three color settings to render the areas within a course:
Dark Color is used for the title bar in the border surrounding the central area of each page and is used in pop-ups. White text is shown against this color.
Light color is no longer used in most areas (it's being phased out). D2L recommends that you use the same color selected for Dark Color. White text is shown against this color.
Soft Color is used for Tabs. Black text is shown against this color.
To select a new color:
1. Click on Edit Course.
2. Select Course Offering Information.
3. On the Course Offering Information page, click the Change Color control for the color you want to modify.
(Click a color control to display the selection menu)
4. Select one of the predefined colors from the palette or specify a custom color by doing the following:
a. Enter the Hex Value for the custom color in the HEX field below the palette.
b. Click the Preview Hex Color icon.
c. Click the custom color chip at the bottom right of the palette.
5. Click Save.
System Widgets
1. Log into D2L and go into the course in which you want to manage your widgets.
2. In the navbar at the top of the page, click the Edit Course link (far right).
3. Click on Widgets.
4. Click on System Widgets.
This screen shows all of the different widgets that are available to instructors through D2L.
Creating Custom Widgets
You can create custom widgets such as a course banner or a widget with instructor information. To do that, you just:
1. Log into D2L and go into the course in which you want to manage your widgets.
2. In the navbar at the top of the page, click the Edit Course link (far right).
3. Click on Widgets.
4. To create a custom widget, click create widget at the top of the screen.
5. Create a name for the new widget. Then click on the content tab at the top of the screen. *Note: The description is not where the content goes.
6. Type your information in the content tab area. You can preview your widget by clicking Preview Widget at the top of the screen. If you want to customize the look and feel of your widget, click on the customize tab and select the features (colors, border size, etc) that you desire. Click on Save when you are finished.
Adding a Banner to Your Course Homepage
There are several ways to add a custom banner to your D2L site. The simplest method is to create a new 'banner widget' and upload an image to the banner content area. The banner image can be any type of image file, but most people like to create their own banner. To create your own banner image, try using PowerPoint. Directions
1. Create a new homepage (see directions above).
2. Create a custom widget, follow the directions above.
3. Name the widget something similar to 'Banner- course name' and Save.
4. Then click on the Content tab (see image above). You can enter just text, images, or both. To add an image, click on the upload image icon (square picture icon). Select and upload your image file.
5. Once your image file has been uploaded to the widget, click on the image to select it and then click on the icon on the widget toolbar to center the image (similar to Microsoft Word centering).
6. Add text as desired.
7. Click on the Customize button for more options. SAVE.
8. Add this new widget to your New Homepage in the HEADER area -- see directions above for customizing your course homepage.

Hi all what is the xroads or crossroads i googled it and i cudnt find any thing about plz till me how to find. Oh and im A.M+EGY/CP LV. 95 AND 92 AND 75 ITS V GUD GAME !WINK!
907 Invalid JAR
Error!: control flow verification information too large: a And that's all it said. Might brick the thing even if it does install - they likely use some "non-standard" libraries for graphics/interface. RIM uses J2ME, but added/modified some internal code, causing backward compatibility to be minimal, if at all.
Is there some way to run this on a blackberry curve 8530?
hy all,this game is great i play it since 1.3.2 version as Gorstak DK,now am Dark King,i invite all gud ppl to join Dark Team clan-best in game.http://dark-members.forumotion.net
Dnt play rhynn .i lost my chr twice by unknown things they dnt do shit abt it
The game is really great although I'm not thrilled about getting kicked off every 20 or 30 mins. I was wondering though, I can only seem to go into about 4 or 5 places, and there are about 4 portals that I can't even go through. If someone has an idea about why that is, please let me know because I am clueless about it. Thanks, and the website is really nice!
Me to0 i start playing n 1.2V . 1.2 s an0ther servr .
I been playing since version 1.2 it rocks!
I need a little help in the game please, Im stuck. I cant find any quests that I can solve n the games not so fun anymore. I miss Graal, wish you could get it on the Boost network.
The half-hour kick's have been known about for a long time.. Also, it's not every 3 and 36 min's after the hour, apparently, since I just got kicked at 2:45 then at 3:15. There are other server's though, maybe their more exact, but not the Rhynn server.
Annie, I've been around for a quarter of a century online! Although I've got medical issues, I'm glad you like the real me online. No, I'm not plastic just old schoolish a bit. Thank you too for noticing me!
Attention Rhynn players. The server disconnects every 30mins! 3 and 33mins past every hour. And reconnect is every 6 and 36mins after the hour. This isn't inconvenient at all! Work with the system, there's plenty of time. I'm known as Shaolin DK in there:)
THANK YOU DENNIS!!! If you were a woman I'd give you a big kiss! This game keeps me occupied for many hrs. I can escape reality and it's a great stress reliver for my heart condition. THANK YOU SO MUCH! 'Care Stephan
can anyone tell me how to play rhynn on a pc please. thanks
hey dennis please find more final fantasy games or any good rpg games thanks keep up the good work
Dennis, I noticed u told Stephan you'd try & find him more adventure games & I think that's fabulous. Just reading his posts has been very entertaining & fun in itself.
What a great positive manner u have! It's very refreshing & kind.
Wow my first say on this brilliant website and you did it in 1 day just to say i did not post on getjar.com that new version is out thanks for the response again
You know rhynn its a good game but the server disconnection is annoying just to tell you rhynn version 1.3.7 is out already
Well wat can i say i have been a diablo fan for years and was over the moon when i found your game. i think you should use more ideas out of diablo in rhynn! the server dropping out ever 5 to 30 mins i can deal with but dude x.nt really need to do some thing about all the cheats, i mean wats the point. im on level 49 mate and last night i had some low life cheat on lvl12 smash me in almost one hit! he told me his damage was 200 and magic n skills was 130! im a true lover of this game and honestly mate im not far from throwing it in if ya don't do something bout cheats.
This link http://java.our.lt allows you to see where the players are in the game! Also includes their current levels... Enjoy...
For the first time in 10yrs I can breathe again! I've longed for a game like this, like XRoads! It's like trying to stop smoking. This game really made me come alive! Felt like I was born again! Grin, let it never die again. Life is precious n always will!
One more thing before I forget. The server disconnect is about 2-3 minutes long! Such a small inconvenience to play this game. So you players, let's get with the program! Let's fight our glorious battles. I'm honored to have met a couple of you from here.
The Sysop later apologized because he didn't know how long it took to get levels. Rhynn is about the same using D & D type programming to determine your levels and attack formula for fighting. It's mathematical indeed, like the old dice rolls...
Folks, be glad about this. When you die in Rhynn you do NOT lose your level or exp points. In Crossroads, depending on your level you'd lose 1-3 levels!!! Why we had a no kill player policy then. I've even killed a Sysop of his own system for this...
I posted the Rhynn emulator to the Crossroads forum on Yahoo in hopes the Gamemaster programs a java app to get into their game. 4 time winner, Wizard of Fire XRoads Bengal the Shaolin at your service...
Here's the Emulator for the computer users to get on Rhynn... http://184.108.40.206/webrhynn/ And do enjoy the game by Yours Truly, Bengal
I highly recommend this game for adventure multi game enthusiasts! Very similar to Crossroads and build your character while climbing levels. Get EXCITED, get ENERGIZED, BE all you can BE. Join Rhynn TODAY! Endorsed by AKA: "Bengal" the Shaolin.
Dennis, I'm now lvl 22 in this massive game. I don't know how many hrs I've put in but its so close to the old game I'm just hooked! LAUGH! I neglected email for a couple days cause of this! THANK YOU!
Would've been nice to have played this when I was hospitalized for congestive heart failure. At least I can enjoy while healing out here. I know where I'll be spending, timeHELL WITH THAT TELNE app! This gave gets a 5 STAR rating! I LOVE IT!!!
I did get killed by a couple of users. I noted their characters and once my attributes are honed in the Training Barracks, I'M GOING HUNTING FOR THEM! BTW, I'm Bengal, like Bengal the Shaolin in CrossRoads yrs ago. I am Bengal, I will help you!
Well the server disconnect is not that bad. I usually get back on in a few mins. I noticed the players sometimes accidently hit you when they're attacking creatures nearby. Got my heal spell so no biggy! I'm INTO THIS!
Talk about ADDICTIVE DENNIS! This game is closeto the CrossRoads game I played yrs ago! There's no elements but I'm a Wizard again. Lvl 10 n climbing! Spent most of Sat. PM building my character's attributes. THIS GAME ROCKS FOR THIS 49yr old! gRiN
Real active topic, huh? If your playing or considering playing this, stop, throw all morals out the window and find all the cheat versions, because you will NOT get anywhere without it. Marlowe, your lazy. Cheat it up, n enjoy trying to polish this terd.
TommyBlaze, You don't need cheat codes! It's all in the weapon you're using and the speed of your recharge to launch your next attack. I've got a good trigger finger to launch my attack spells! You can't lose levels! Chill out..
There are things i like about tibia, but its kinda gay. Rhynn is always fast n reliable for me, even with the disconnecting. Besides, Rhynn is completely free. Just spend lotta points on defense n health, lol, cuz the players love to kill..everything.
this game is fun but the server is horrible! cant play 4 more than 20 mins or so. other than that 4 a free game it pretty good. tibiame is way better tho 4 gameplay and server issues
SJustin, Patience son!!! I'm at level 25 and climbing. The server issue is not a big deal! And that game you play doesn't touch THIS! I've played that game and it's NOT APPEALLING! Sorry I'm blunt but this game also has strategy. Let's Enjoy!
Lots of recent activity on the homepage, and 'gm_jay' popped in talking about a new beta release in bout ten days now. So..that may be something to look forward to if marlowe doesn't get lazy again, Lol.
i found a game not quite this but similar called geddaheadz on get jar the other day it is alright on game play you can play on bluetooth or online only thing that sucks is that you have to suspend the app to go back...
The game is gud but one thing that i doesnt like. The server always disconnected when i play the game. That is sick its get me frustating. . .
ya i have a i465 and i can play it if ur on the i465 jus hold the fn key for like 5 secs and use the numbers to type ur name and password and one other thing dennis ur great man do u think u can get tibiame? peace out
sorry double post. Lotta bugs, cheats n mods 4 this. v1.3/1.4 out, at least in beta. Project was abandoned by devs, but still mostly awesome. server disconnect is unfixed bug, server refreshes n everyone dropped, every 30 mins or so. maybe post mods here?
typing sucks, but unless your lookin for chat, also pointless. great game other than screen cut off on all sides and cant read bottom line of dialogue on i290 and occasional server dropoff. very entertaining, though. Thank you, dennis.
I Have A i465 And It Works Fine On Mine.. But Theres A Trick
Ex:) Hold The (FN) Button For 5 second So you Can Give It Enough Time To Switch Over
Then Use The Only The 1-9 Buttons To Interact... But When You Type Something You Have To Do It Like You Are On A Regular Dial Pad...
just to clarify: keep cycling through the "2" key for "a,b,c,etc" and like i said, it does popup with whats available with the key u pressed, and if remember right * is delete; it tells u either way
i have i465 and im lvl9 so far, u have to use oldstyle num-alpha keys, it has a popup if u cant remember. so in game chat forget it, too hard! connectivity is an issue but still fun & FREE
i couldnt make a profile either. can anyone help?
I downloaded this for my i465, and for some reason I cant put it a name or pw to registerr. All keys were unresponsive
