I figured this is as good a time as any to go ahead and post a Game 6 preview for WMC-TV 5. That should give them plenty of time to convert it into a format they can use on-air without attribution. I kid, of course. We here at GrizzGrind.com are thrilled that the story about Jeremy Carroll has gained traction, whether attributed to the proper source or not.
Now that the requisite retaliatory cheap-shot is out of the way, lets get down to business. Friday is a huge day for the #Don'tBluffCity. Downtown promises to be buzzing earlier than an average spring Friday as people gather to prepare for Beale Street Music Fest and more importantly, for Game 6 at FedExForum.
The further into the playoffs we get the less there is to say that hasn't been said a dozen times by more reputable journalists. This isn't a column that will rehash statistics or break down series trends. That has been done so well by folks like Peter Edmiston and Chris Herrington that we wouldn't dare try to offer something fresh. Instead, we're going to offer a big-picture prospective on Game 6 by offering three keys for the good guys:
First, the team has to continue to take care of the basketball. Particularly Mike Conley, Jerryd Bayless and Keyon Dooling. Over the last three games, the Grizzlies point guards have a combined eleven turnovers. That is solid if not spectacular work, particularly when you consider the heavy minutes logged by the trio. Limiting the Clippers possessions - particularly transition possessions off turnovers by the guards - is critical to throttling their run-and-lob style.
Second, Zbo and Marc have to continue to decisively outplay the Clippers bigs. We know Blake Griffin has a bad ankle (allegedly) and DeAndre Jordan's only basketball skill is the uncontested dunk, but it is not just enough for us to match the Clippers down low. We have to dominate. I don't think there is a magic number, but doubling up the Clippers front court in points and rebounds will probably get the job done.
Third, the Grizzlies cannot get hung up on trying to shut down Chris Paul. At a certain point we have to accept that CP3 is going to get his. Let him. If Paul ends up with 45 points and 5 assists, the Clippers do not have a prayer. Paul is most deadly when he is not only scoring (from everywhere) but also setting up teammates for easy looks and corner 3s. There are not many guys on the Clippers roster that are going to create their own shot with such proficiency that it will overcome our trademarked defense. Let Paul do his thing but make him try to beat you all by himself - it is unlikely to work.
There you have it. If the Grizzlies take care of the ball, win the battle in the paint and worry more about shutting down everyone not named Chris Paul, there is a good chance that #GrizzNation will get to enjoy the same celebratory march from the Grindhouse to Tom Lee Park that we did in 2011.
Our job as fans tomorrow? Simple. Sustained chaos. If you are going to be at the game, do your part to make sure the Forum remains one of the toughest places for opponents to play.
Grind on, Memphis.

Marcello Lippi could replace Gigi Del Neri as Juventus caretaker manager, but Walter Mazzarri joins the list of long-term candidates.
A fourth consecutive defeat to Cesena this evening would spell the end for Del Neri, even if he is adamant he "will not resign."
The Gazzetta dello Sport now suggests former Italy and Juve Coach Lippi would be willing to accept a caretaker manager role.
He would see out the rest of the season and prepare the Bianconeri for their next tactician.
Other temporary options are former Juve stars Gianluca Vialli, Pavel Nedved or Claudio Gentile.
Louis Van Gaal had been the prime candidate, but the Bayern Munich boss has announced he will take a year off after finishing off the campaign in Germany.
Zenit St Petersburg Coach Luciano Spalletti has long been linked with the job, but this week again denied he was interested.
A new option emerging this morning is Napoli manager Mazzarri, who already worked with director general Beppe Marotta at Sampdoria.
However, Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis has no intention of releasing Mazzarri from his contract, especially if they qualify for the Champions League.

Research In Motion (RIM) now has 70 million global BlackBerry subscribers and they celebrated that fact with a video that highlighted some of our customers' successes, including how individuals, businesses, governments, start-ups and charities are all using BlackBerry to work for good in their lives and in their communities around the world.
Recently, RIM has been getting a trouncing in the market from Apple's iPhone and also Samsung Galaxy Phones. Then just this week,Amazon introduced their new Kindle Fire an ereader and tablet all in one, which Techcrunch declared as the winner in the Android Tablet market. RIM's own Playbook had not shipped as many units as thought and in response to the new Kindle price, RIM's BlackBerry PlayBook went on sale yesterday at Best Buy. The 16GB model dropped to $299 from $499. So it's been a rough year for RIM, the question is, can they innovate themselves out of this ? We know in this tech world, market leaders are toppled and laggards can retain their number one slots. Let's see what gives over the next 3-6months.
4 thoughts on "Blackberry celebrates 70 Million BlackBerry subscribers globally…but"
I should also add…
Or a Blackberry device that stands on its own as a compelling offering with popular applications as well as some perhaps not thought of before.
Although, it will support Android apps, there will be limitations, I've read, on what those apps can do. So, will it still be a compelling option for them? Not sure. At the end of the day, they need development for the native platform. I would prefer an Android device with Blackberry capabilities over a Blackberry device with crippled Android capabilities.
I think the big problem is it is a world of Apps now. No Apps equals no/limited consumer interest. As great as the new OS (QNX) may be, it won't mean anything if there aren't the apps to take advantage of the platform. Wireless communication is a consumer world now. No longer is it simply for businesses. Factor in the lower cost to a business (Free per user) to allow Exchange support instead of paying for BES. People are bringing their own devices to use for work and in other cases, they are wanting to mix the two worlds of personal and business. I'm not saying they need to have 30,000 apps to compete. But, at least the top apps and games. That alone, would make people consider it. Even with their new touchscreen devices, there aren't many apps that take advantage of the higher resolution nor the fact it is touch. If all you do is social networks and BBM, yeah it's okay. But, if you would like to challenge a friend in Word With Friends, nope. If you would like to try out Angry Birds, nope. Even some conversion tools I have on other platform device, not available or not as good as their other platform versions. Many apps seem to be made for lowest common denominator BB device. So, I've got this nice screen and touch, but my font is small as can be.
They were probably better served trying to partner with another platform (Android perhaps) and get their services working as a layer on top, than buying an OS. Especially since they can't seem to get their services to work on this OS they purchased as it is right now. Hence the failure of the PLaybook. Imagine if that time and effort was spent getting BES and BBM (and I really left BIS out on purpose as that should just be ActiveSync for consumers) to work on that platform with their hardware?

Goodbye Work Cookies
Tomorrow is my last day at my current job before I head off to a new adventure. I'd like to give my managers and a handful of colleagues boxes of cookies as a thank you and goodbye. I am planning on making coconut macaroons with Ina's recipe as recommended on SE, but I'd like a second cookie in the box. Ideally something easy and quick to make, that will appeal to broad tastes, since I'll be making everything in one evening. Thanks!

speedART SP81-R based on Porsche Boxster S (981) to make Essen debut
A complete tuning kit
speedART has prepared an upgrade program for the Porsche Boxster S (981) that will be unveiled tomorrow at Essen Motor Show.
Different power kits have been prepared, starting with a 20 hp (15 kW) and 15 lb-ft (20 Nm) increase available through a modified sport exhaust system with sport catalysts and manifolds. Power kit II consists of an ECU recalibration that lifts power by 35 hp (26 kW) and 22 lb-ft (30 Nm). There's also a turbo kit that increases output by about 80 hp (59.6 kW).
Aside from the power increase, speedART has developed an aero kit consisting of a new front chin spoiler, side panels, rear diffusor and rear wing. The Boxster S can be equipped with modular 20- or 21-inch LSC-FORGED wheels available in various colors.
Different sport suspensions for track and street are available, including one with sport springs, an adjustable version and also an airlift variant. The interior cabin also gets a full customization program with different types of leather and Alcantara.
Full details are available in the attached press release.
World premiere at Essen Motorshow 2012: speedART SP81-R
The newest invention of german Porsche tuner speedART is called SP81-R which is based
on the new Porsche Boxster S typ 981. Please find below the highlights of the speedART
tuning modifications:
The SP81-R has an impressive new aerodynamic and color design. The car is painted (no
foil or film!) in black and green with original Porsche colors. The bodykit consist of a rear
wing, a rear diffusor, a front chin spoiler and side panels with rear carbon applications. All
parts are designed to be painted in the well-known speedART bi-color optic, which was
made already on the SP91-R which is based on the new Porsche 991 Carrera. The SP81-
R will be integrated seamless in the existing design-line and creates a high value of brand
recognition for speedART cars. Obviously the aero-kit creates more downforce on front
and rear axle and give the new Boxster a more sportive and stronger look.
Power upgrades:
There are different power kits for both brand new 981 Boxster and Boxster S engines.
Starting with a complete modified sport exhaust system with sport-catalysts and manifolds
/ headers (optionally combined with a sound switch function) the power kit I creates + 20
hp and 20 nm. In addition there will be a perfect calibration of the ECU map to increase
the power of the 981 model up to 35 hp + 30 nm (power kit II) including a fascinating and
impressive sound. Furthermore there is a bold-on-turbo-kit in preparation which will give
the new Boxster S about 80 hp more power.
The speedART sport exhaust with sound switch is developed for controlling the sound
value of the cars individually at pleasure. The sport exhaust could be combined with
several different tailpipe versions for maximum individuality and singularity. Obviously
there is a more simple version without the sound switch available but both alternatives
give the new concertible about 9 hp more power because of the reduced back- pressure.
There will be also a very light Titanium sport exhaust system version for racing
enthusiastic costumers available very soon.
Wheels/Rims and brakes:
speedART offers the modular LSC- FORGED wheel in 20" and 21". This special
speedART designed wheel is a complete new innovation which is especially made as
a super light forged version in the sizes from 8,5x20" up to 11x21". It is availiable in
diffrent colors of the center star and outer rim to emphasize the individuality of each LSC-
FORGED wheel. The brake callipers have been painted, too in the same way as the car.
There are different sport suspensions for street and race track use available. Beside the
sport suspensions with sport springs or an adjustable sport suspension there is an airlift
suspension in preparation to maintain the everyday practicability of cars with the SP81-R
The speedART SP81-R will be shown with a complete new interior design which is
made by the exclusive speedART manufactur. There are various impressive and
unique variations of leather and Alcantara fitted in the new Boxster. A high class and
premium new speedART design interieur will impress every car enthusiast definitely and
hopefully you, too.

The clients for this project sought gracious, beautiful spaces for large-scale entertaining while simultaneously providing a comfortable family home for a family with three young boys. Albertsson Hansen added a generously sized kitchen, reconfigured the living/dining room with a built-in buffet, converted the original kitchen to a scullery, and added a family room as the hub for daily living. A new mudroom features built-in cabinetry with ample storage to hide Minnesota-winter clutter.
Wide paneled doorways between main rooms allow easy circulation during parties. Translucent pass-through from buffet to scullery allows off-stage serving and easy clean up. Continuous banquettes along north and east sides of living room provide generous seating.
"Albertsson Hansen designed a beautiful, light-filled home that meets the demands of our three rough-and-tumble boys. The spaces expand for family celebrations and contract for intimate dinners. And our home is full of surprises: window seats, pocket doors, porches, and a scullery." -owners

B&W: Concert For Oneby: Josh Spear
Been loving my B&W P3′s, or as they call them 'A Concert for one…'
Fantastic design and form factor, and works great with all my iOS devices for entertainment and calls. They come with a great hard case to keep them save in your hand luggage when you're on the go. If you're shopping, these are worthy for consideration.
POP Chargerby: Josh Spear
My friend James Simonoff is at it again. Go support his Kickstarter. Go James go!
The batteries in our mobile devices have not been able to keep up with the increased usage. As a result, we often find ourselves looking for places to charge. But many times, convenience and charging do not go hand in hand. At the Edison Junior Design Laboratory, we developed the perfect solution to this problem. POP, aka "Portable Power", is a rechargeable portable battery with retractable cord reels for simultaneously charging multiple devices. Don't be restricted by outlets or ugly chargers; with POP you are free to explore the vast world we live in, while remaining connected to it.
Jambox goes BIGby: Josh Spear
Bowers & Wilkins P5 Headphonesby: Josh Spear
Bowers & Wilkins has long been one of my favorite audio brands. If it's good enough for Abbey Road Studios (hello, Beatles), it's good enough for me.
I've had a lot of experience with previous B&W products– and the Zeppelin Air truly redefined what was possible with beauty and elegance around the design of audio products and iPhone accessories. Not to mention the incredible AirPlay technology built in.
Next up, a few hours with the P5 Headphones and they have not disappointed my tastes. They're comfortable as ever with virtually no plastic parts. They're built entirely out of stainless steel, aluminum and New Zealand Sheeps leather. Completely luxurious on the inside and out.
Clearly built with the iPhone in mine, the P5′s have everything you need to easily switch between your iPhone or iPod tracks built right into the wire.
The sound isn't artificially created with 'Enhanced' this or 'Deep' that nonsense. They actually engineer for natural sound, and true sound– something which makes you reconsider playing ripped (or streamed) tracks off the web. Play high quality, high bit-rate songs and you'll see the difference. They sound full, clear, crisp and they're not trying to ahem, hide anything, like most headphone brands attempt to do. Shame on them.
USB Wall Outletby: Josh Spear
When I move into my next office (or a new house), having these USB Wall Outlet's for $23 a pop is top of my list.
iPhone SLR Mountby: Josh Spear
My friends at Photojojo have done it again. This iPhone SLR Mount is sure to be a massive hit worldwide.
Ever since the iPhone camera was invented, it's aspired to be what it simply never quite could be: a DSLR. Sure, apps have helped your camera phone inch forward with simulated focusing and faux filters. Faux no more. The iPhone SLR Mount gives you the real thing.
This case-adapter combo lets you mount your Canon EOS or Nikon SLR lenses to your iPhone 4 giving your phone powerful depth of field and manual focus– for $249.
Incase Audioby: Josh Spear
Great addition to the Incase product line– Incase Audio makes total sense. I hope they sound as good as they look!
They will soon be available in the four styles shown above. Coming September 2011.
A complementary extension of our product offering, the new headphones will reflect our expertise in designing and developing products that provide enhanced mobility and user experience. Employing an integrated development approach we call Incase Soundesign, the audio collection reflects a synthesis of precision sound engineering and minimal design.
The JamChain Official Music Videoby: Josh Spear
Oh my, words can not describe this video. Genius. Major props to my friends at Jawbone on their latest marketing promotion for the Jambox (and The Jamchain, which is a hilarious and awesome accessory). Watch for a laugh, including areference to basically every meaningful (and trendy) web startup in San Francisco right now.
If you use the coupon code JAMCHAIN you'll receive a free JamChain with your order of a Jambox, while supplies last.
Pickmasterby: Josh Spear
This is genius on so many levels. A simple metal punch that lets you turn any piece of sheet plastic like an expired ATM card, into a guitar pick. Via Core 77

Zac's Personality
Post: #1
Zac's Personality
I prefer psychology to astrology when profiling (although I enjoy astrology for its own sake) and I've pegged Zac as an adventurous personality. Do you agree?
(more here)
"Bravery [valor]: Not shrinking from threat, challenge, difficulty, or pain; speaking up for what is right even if there is opposition; acting on convictions even if unpopular; includes physical bravery but is not limited to it"
"Vitality [zest, enthusiasm, vigor, energy]: Approaching life with excitement and energy; Not doing things halfway or halfheartedly; living life as an adventure; feeling alive and activated"
"Curiosity [interest, novelty-seeking, openness to experience]: Taking an interest in ongoing experience for its own sake; finding subjects and topics fascinating; exploring and discovering
"Social intelligence [emotional intelligence, personal intelligence]: being aware of the motives and feelings of other people and oneself; knowing what to do to fit into different social situations; knowing what makes other people tick"
"Leadership: Encouraging a group of which one is a member to get things done and at the same [time maintain] good relations within the group; organizing group activities and seeing that they happen"
"Appreciation of beauty and excellence [awe, wonder, elevation]: Noticing and appreciating beauty, excellence, and/or skilled performance in various domains of life, from nature to art to mathematics to science to everyday experience"
"Hope [optimism, future-mindedness, future orientation]: Expecting the best in the future and working to achieve it; believing that a good future is something that can be brought about" (Peterson & Seligman, 29, 30).
Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become. CS Lewis.

Kentington Heights residents may protest rezoning
Some Kentington Heights residents are saying they may formally protest a developer's request to zone only part of the south Durham subdivision for a proposed car dealership.
And in the process they're raising questions about the way both the developer and city officials are approaching a neighborhood whose owners, for more than a decade, have been eager to see the land zoned for commercial development.
"This is a conspiracy to divide and conquer," said Antoinette Hawes, a Chanticleer Drive homeowner.
Kentington Heights is just south of The Streets at Southpoint mall. But despite problems with failing septic tanks, the neighborhood isn't connected to the city sewer network that serves the mall and its environs.
Property owners in the early 2000s said they preferred to sell rather than to connect, and asked the city to allow commercial development there so they could sell without taking a financial hit. The City Council obliged with a non-binding policy change that said commercial was an appropriate use for the subdivision's land.
But it held off on actually passing the follow-up zoning change while property owners – some owner-occupants, other absentee owners – negotiated with potential developers.
The most likely developer for a few years now has been WRS Inc., a South Carolina company that at one point was thought to be assembling a $20.5 million site for a new Wal-Mart.
That possibility apparently evaporated when the chain opted to put a branch on Durham's Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway, so now WRS is working on the car dealership idea. Its zoning application indicates it's collaborating with the Hendrick Automotive Group.
But Kentington residents like Hawes and Jeannette Wilson object because the plan envisions using only part of the neighborhood.
Wilson emailed City Council members on March 10 to say that she and her remaining neighbors would file a formal protest petition against the rezoning, to force WRS to muster a six-vote supermajority to get its application through.
She also said that while the Wal-Mart project was on the table, WRS had intended to buy the entire neighborhood, with sale prices "mutually agreed upon" and contracts signed.
Once prospects for a Wal-Mart disappeared, the developer backed out of those deals and halved its previous offers for the land, said Wilson, who lives on Kentington Drive.
"Many of us could not afford to take the reduced amount and did not," she told council members. "It was a situation in which many of us felt manipulated and that the company was attempting to take our property for less than it was worth."
The issue, Hawes added in an interview, is that Kentington's remaining owner-occupants feel they need to receive enough to ensure that they can buy new homes mortgage-free.
"You need to look at the demographics of the people out there," Hawes said. "All these people are old and can't get new financing. They have to be able to go out and pay cash for a house."
"We are committed to moving, but not committed to struggling later," she added. "It's not about greed; we're just trying to get what we need. No one's trying to do the Hollywood champagne thing."
But City Council members in 2009 agreed to a further policy change that signaled they would consider a rezoning that included less than the full neighborhood. The change responded to fears at the time that a holdout or two, drawn from Kentington's roster of absentee owners, might try to block the Wal-Mart deal in search of a better offer.
Wilson and Hawes both said owner-occupants don't want to be left without a deal and with a car dealership as a next-door neighbor.
But City/County Planning Director Steve Medlin in February told elected officials the WRS proposal "should not harm" any Kentington Heights homeowners it leaves out because they or a developer could file their own commercial zoning application.
Lewis Cheek, a lawyer who's working for WRS, said Tuesday he believes his clients have "got a lot of support for the project" and are pressing ahead.
"If there is a protest petition, we'll just have to try to approach it and it'll be up to the council to decide whether they think the project is a good one or not," said Cheek. "But we're confident in the project. We think it's a good one."
Cheek declined to comment on WRS' prior dealings with residents, saying he didn't represent the company then. WRS executive Stacy Woodhouse couldn't be reached for comment.
South Durham activist Steve Bocckino, a near-neighbor of the site, told City Councilwoman Diane Catotti via email that he's "pretty sure" the application will attract a protest.
He said homeowners and WRS are facing a real problem, which is that "only a small portion of commercial developments merit the $300,000 an acre most of these folks, on 0.45-acre lots, would need to relocate."
"The developers aren't the bad guys; they are just paying what the market will support," Bocckino told Catotti, adding that Kentington Heights residents "were poorly served" years ago, when Southpoint was in the works, "by those who told them they could get a million an acre."

The 32-year-old broke his tibia and fibula during February's 1-0 defeat at Rochdale and was set a rehabilitation period of between six to nine months.
But the early stages of that lengthy recovery have gone well and Purches is on the right track.
"I went to see the specialist recently and he said I have to come off the crutches for the next four weeks and wear the air boot when I walk around," Purches told the club's official website.
"I'll then come out of the air boot and back on the crutches again for two weeks and then hopefully at the start of pre-season I'll be able to walk freely."

Direction & Screenplay: K G George
Irakal - 1985

Angioplasty / Stenting ProceduresAngioplasty is a procedure that uses a tiny balloon at the tip of a catheter to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels that supply blood to the heart. These blood vessels are called the coronary arteries and, over time, they can become blocked by a fatty substance called plaque. This procedure is performed after the doctor has seen the angiogram (picture) that shows where the arteries are blocked. Angioplasty, with or without stenting, opens arteries to restore blood flow.
A coronary artery stent is a small metal mesh tube that expands inside a coronary artery. A stent is often placed during or immediately after angioplasty. It helps prevent the artery from closing up again. A drug-eluting stent has medicine embedeed in it that helps prevent the artery from closing.
These procedures are performed in a Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory (Cath Lab).What happens during the procedure?The physician inserts a thin, flexible tube (the catheter) through a sheath in your arm or leg. This maneuvers toward your heart. A non-toxic dye is injected to make it possible for the physician to visualize the coronary arteries. In addition, blood pressure recordings may be made in the various chambers of your heart, and valve function can be examined. Pictures will be taken with specialized cameras.
When the blockage is located, a balloon catheter is placed in the narrowed artery and slowly inflated to press the fatty deposits against the artery walls. This allows the blood to flow more freely to the heart muscle.
In many cases, superior results can be obtained if the cardiologist inserts a stent into the area of the blockage and expands it with the balloon. A stent is an expandable wire mesh tube, sized to fit your artery. Once in place, a stent can provide a better channel for blood flow through the artery, with a better long-term result.
What happens after the procedure?You will be asked to drink plenty of fluids to help flush the dye contrast out of your system. Later, when the sheath is removed, a sandbag or pressure bandage will be placed on the insertion site to prevent bleeding. You will remain lying down for several hours.
Your physician will talk to you about the amount of improvement in the artery opening and the possibility of your symptoms returning, medications, restrictions, and changes in daily habits to reduce the risk of more arteries narrowing. You will be informed when to return for follow-up visits.

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - The Cal State Northridge women's tennis team (14-9) defeated Loyola Marymount, 4-3, Thursday afternoon in a non-conference dual match at Matador Tennis Complex. Junior Nigora Sirojiddinova took the decisive point for the Matadors, winning her fourth-seeded singles match in three sets: 6-2, 3-6 and 6-2.
Battling some windy conditions, the Matadors jumped out to an early lead by taking two of the three doubles matches. Brooke Doane and Jennifer Sher improved to 14-1 with an 8-3 victory in their No. 1 doubles match.
CSUN clinched the match's opening point when Anna Yang and Sirojiddinova took an 8-2 decision in their third-seeded match. They are now 6-2 on the season in doubles action as a tandem.
In singles action, Northridge took three of the contests to seal the victory. Sher improved to 13-5 on the season with a straight-set victory in No. 2 singles. Pistalu also took a straight-set victory, improving to 11-6 on the year with her fifth-seeded victory.
Sirojiddinova scored the decisive point by winnin her fourth-seeded contest in three sets. She is now 10-11 on the season and has won four of her last five singles matches.
Northridge nearly scored a fifth point in the match, but Doane had to retire from her top-seeded draw due to injury after winning the first set.
The team also welcomed back senior Nina Jaworowski, who returned from a lengthy battle with injury. Although she ultimately fell in three sets in her No. 3 singles draw, Northridge was bolstered by her return and the prospects of her competing against Pacific on April 23 and in the Big West Championships at the end of the month.
CSUN closes out the 2011 regular season by hosting Pacific on April 23 at Matador Tennis Complex. The match with the Tigers is a crucial contest in terms of seeding for the Big West Championships and represents the final home match for Doane and Jaworowski.
1. Doane/Sher def. Bisharat/Valenzuela: 8-3
2. Rohonyi/Pironkova def. Pistalu/Man-Son-Hing: 8-3
3. Sirojiddinova/Yang def. Jin/LaPorte: 8-2
1. Bisharat def. Doane: 5-7, 2-2, Retired
2. Sher def. Valenzuela: 6-1, 6-2
3. Jin def. Jaworowski: 6-7 (7), 6-4, 6-2
4. Sirojiddinova def. Rohonui: 6-2, 3-6, 6-3
5. Pistalu def. LaPorte: 6-2, 6-2
6. Pironkova def. Yang: 6-1, 6-3

All I can say is: Imagine if a Republican were in the White House. Even with President Obama in charge, some leftist members of Congress are challenging the need to build up our forces in Afghanistan. "I've got the sinking feeling we are getting sucked into something we will never get out of," says Representative Jim McGovern of Massachusetts. But such qualms are unlikely to have much practical impact because the leadership of Congress is solidly behind the war effort. The New York Times describes Nancy Pelosi's views as follows:
"Afghanistan is where the terrorist threat exists to the world, not just the United States," said the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, who said the Bush administration's decision to focus on Iraq left unfinished a mission in Afghanistan that originally had broad support in Congress.
Ms. Pelosi, Democrat of California, said she believed the administration had assembled a strong program for Afghanistan, focused not just on a military presence but also on civilian construction projects, enhanced intelligence gathering, and government improvements. She said any benchmarks would best be put on the use of military aid to Pakistan.
I would be willing to bet all the pot in her San Francisco district that if it were President McCain surging U.S. troops in Afghanistan, Speaker Pelosi would be singing a different tune. In all likelihood she would be bemoaning America's involvement in nation building, demanding to know why we were going into the graveyard of empires, and insisting on benchmarks that could force a speedy withdrawal. President McCain probably would have still prevailed over Afghanistan but only with considerable difficulty. President Obama may face a little rough questioning of his appointees, such as Secretary of State Clinton, but that will be it. At least for the time being. If U.S. forces can't produce progress in the next year, no doubt Congressional objections will rise, and not only from Democrats. But given Obama's commanding position within the country at large and within his own party in particular, as long as he keeps his nerve, it is likely he can continue to make the difficult decisions necessary to turn around the situation in Afghanistan.

After a few years learning the trade at parties and school dances around Sydney's North Shore, The Celibate Rifles (one of a bunch of one-off party names that stuck) progressed to playing pubs and getting a record out - and what a record! But Jacques, The Fish? is just about the finest record to ever emerge from up that way. Four great songs, some hilarious lyrics, and a frustrating set of sleeve colour variations.
As a rule we don't cross the bridge for nothin'. Every few years though one of our scouts up on the North Shore sends a telegram saying another colour scheme has surfaced and we don our radiation suits, jump in the Wallaby Beat detective van and head up there to bring it home. Now, twenty-eight years after this disc first appeared we think we can close the case on it, so welcome back to another it-never-ends session. There's been several years of does/doesn't it exist to and fro-ing with various parties, now let us supply some clarity.
The first pressing was organised by the band and appeared on EMI Custom labels in late 1982, with catalogue number 13355. EMI Custom pressings appear in one of two colour variations which we'll call black-on-white and white-on-black. These sleeves are different to the later pressing in that the sleeve is flapback - the folds are glued outside the sleeve on the back.
Note also that the colour scheme for these is repeated on the back of the sleeve; black-on-white is black-on-white on the rear (seen to the above right), and white-on-black is white-on-black on its reverse.
It's an odd sleeve in some ways - the iconography is from nowhere: a free-standing ewe with a tied off rifle, a foot on a stick with a tapping toe; and But Jacques, The Fish? You might be tempted to start to align our boys with surrealism and dadaism but we won't make the mistake of previous generations and link the motivations of suburban oicks with French philosophers. Just a healthily odd sense of humour, and a certain iconoclasm which came to characterise, and perhaps plague the band's output as time went on. Ultimately, the rarely seen heavy metal umlaut-ed Ä is probably gonna get you closer to the mark.
There are no mistakes to be made about the music though. All four tracks on here are absolutely great. The influences were Radio Birdman and the Saints - not just lazy pick-a-soundalike by us, but admitted by bassist Michael Couvret and lead guitarist Kent Steedman in several interviews (in Away From The Pulsebeat fanzine for example).
Kicking off with Kent's Theme (They Don't Listen) we have one of the band's earliest songs, dating back to their original singer Ian Martin. A comment on smoking and conformity with the great refrain "doesn't listen to the doctors advising, all she hears is the advertising" leading into the lead break appropriating the Marlboro theme. As we mentioned before, local guitarists love themselves some thematic "references".
Next up is possibly the highlight of the EP, Let's Get Married, a song that never fails to bring a smile to our faces, not just from the ferocious wah-wah solo and group-chanted chorus but mostly from the hilarious lyrics penned by vocalist Damien Lovelock. We particularly like the line "you must be okay coz you went down on my brother". Lovelock's vocals are excellent across the whole EP.
On 24 Hours the band kick back a bit with a more personal lyric. On this side of the disc the band really start sounding more like Radio Birdman, particularly in the guitar licks and backing vocals. Tubular Greens is the band's first surf themed song, a connection they continued occasionally, as detailed by Stephen McParland in Waltzing The Plank. Amongst other things this included pseudonymous gigs as Sandy Pile and The Beach Bums at Mambo's surf band battles, where they did T.V. Eye as Seaweed Eye. Anyway, cool song, great handclaps.
The EMI Custom EP was distributed by Hot Records. By 1983 Hot Records formally became a label and we have a second pressing of But Jacques, The Fish? as HOT 702. The same stampers were used, but the label is completely different and switches to an alternative spelling of Jacques. The sleeve artwork is the same as the earlier issue. The minutiae are as follows:
- there is no longer any flapback - the folds are glued inside the sleeve;
- there are four variations: red-on-white, white-on-red, blue-on-white, white-on-blue;
- the back of the sleeves standardise - the red sleeves both have white-on-red reverses, and the blues have white-on-blue;
- interestingly (come on, you've read this far) blue-on-white opens to the left, all other schemes we have seen have the more regular right hand side opening.
As far as rarity or otherwise goes, the EMI Custom pressings are harder to find than the Hot. We can't really divine any relative scarcity amongst the Hot sleeve variations - we'll just report that white-on-blue was the last one to land in our laps.
The lyric/info insert comes on white, blue, green, yellow, red or pink paper. Maybe others too. We haven't been able to find any variations on the inserts between pressings, even the handwritten extra phone number seems to be the same on all copies we've seen.
Finally some music - we've decided to just feature one track, the "all samples not cleared" Kent's Theme. 24 Hours, Tubular Greens and Let's Get Married saw release in the UK on What Goes On on the Quintessentially Yours LP. Kent's Theme was on a UK 7" on Shigaku Records backing Pretty Pictures and also made one of the early punk reissue compilations - Back To Front Vol 6 in 1995. All four tracks are on the Platters Du Jour double album/CD compiling the 7" tracks up to 1990. Go get it. Oh and report any other variations (with documentation please!).
Kent's Theme
February 2012 update Two more variations in hand: EMI Custom with black-on-white front and white-on-black rear; Hot red-on-white front with a red-on-white rear.

Last week, a student in the George Washington University School of Medicine teamed up with the Younger Women's Task Force to release a report on student perceptions about campus sexual assault at GW. The report [PDF] found that GW students were undereducated about the school's assault resources: 89 percent of students said that rape kits are available at GWU hospital; 62 percent said the kits were available through the school's student health services; and 74 percent of students said that GW didn't properly educate students about its sexual assault resources.
Today, the university responded to the findings—by quickly ticking those resources that 74 percent of students said weren't adequately explained:
The report "was written by a George Washington University Medical School student and is not a university study," university spokesperson Michelle Sherrard clarified, before listing off the school's sexual assault resources:
The George Washington University takes sexual harassment and sexual assault very seriously and has a number of services and resources available to victims. The GW Police Department provides assistance to victims and offers programs on sexual assault prevention, and the Sexual Assault Crisis Consultation Team comprises professional GW staff members who are trained and prepared to assist the survivor of sexual assault or rape. A Sexual Harassment Response Coordinator, located in the Office of the Senior Vice President and General Counsel, is a resource for students who believe they are being or have been sexually harassed, who have been accused of sexual harassment or inappropriate behavior of a sexual nature, or who have received a report of sexual harassment.
The university response provides a quick fix to the report, which found that a majority of GW's undergraduate and graduate students were under- or misinformed about the school's sexual assault services. But truly educating students about campus sexual assault services available in case of crisis takes more than a one-time statement e-mailed to the media.
The report had a few suggestions for increasing education on campus: Stage mandatory sexual assault prevention trainings for incoming students, student groups, faculty, security and staff; gear prevention efforts toward male groups and bystander intervention; more widely publicize the school's sexual assault policies. GW's statement did not mention any plans to examine these policy recommendations, but it did note one limitation: "it is important to note that hospital distribution of rape kits is decided by the Metropolitan Police Department." It's true that the George Washington University can't simply decide to provide rape kits on its campus. But it can better educate students about where they should go to find them.

Rowing Wins Saturday Events and Earns Two Medals in Sunday Races
Dukes head to Washington, D.C. Thursday
Joseph Setting enters his ninth season at the helm of the Duquesne rowing program.
In 2007, exactly eight months after his hiring, he guided the Dukes' to a third place finish at the 2007 Atlantic 10 Women's Rowing Championship, the highest finish ever attained by the program since joining the Atlantic 10 Conference in 1996. The previous best finish was seventh in 1999, 2001 and 2005.
In the eight Atlantic 10 Championships that Coach Setting has overseen, the Dukes have captured thirteen total medals, including seven gold, three silver, and three bronze. The most recent medals came at the 2013 Atlantic 10 Championship in the Freshman 8+ (gold) and the Freshman 4+ (gold). The Dukes Lightweight 4+ from the 2007 season set a conference championship course record time that has yet to be eclipsed. There have been a total of nine student-athletes named as All-Conference selections over Coach Setting's tenure.
At the Dad Vail Regatta, the largest collegiate race in the country, in 2013, Coach Setting led the Dukes to a program first appearance in the Varsity 8+ grand final, achieving a 4th place finish. In 2014, the Varsity 8+ once again returned to the grand final, finishing 5th, while the Freshman 4+ achieved the bronze medal in the grand final. The Dukes captured silver medal placements for three consecutive years (2007-2009) in the Freshman 4+ event. Other appearances in grand final events were made by the Lightweight 4+ (2007 and 2009), the Varsity 4+ (2011), and the Freshman 8+ (2012).
In addition to the successes at the A-10 Championship and the Dad Vail, over Coach Setting's tenure, the Dukes have competed in the Intercollegiate Rowing Association regatta as one of six teams chosen to race in the inaugural Lightweight 4+ event at 2007 IRA, finishing fourth in a tightly contested race. Also in 2007, the Dukes Lightweight 8+ achieved a national ranking as high as 11th in a US Rowing coaches poll. Following the 2011 season, the first Duquesne rower in program history, Rachael Thornton, was selected to the U23 Lightweight squad.
Before returning to the Bluff, Coach Setting spent five years (2001-06) coaching the rowing programs at Pittsburgh's Fox Chapel High School serving as the boy's and girl's assistant coach beginning in the fall of 2001 and heading the girl's varsity program from 2003-06. Fox Chapel reined as the 2005 and 2006 Midwest Scholastic team points and women's points trophy champions, giving the Foxes the distinction of being the first high school to take back-to-back trophies in the 13-year history of the 12-state Midwest Scholastic Championships.
In the spring of 2006 at the Western PA Scholastic Rowing Sprints Championship, Fox Chapel captured the team championship trophy and the women's point's trophy. The Foxes won the point's trophy in 2005 as well and took first in the Varsity 8+ and Varsity 4+ events. Coach Setting also guided his women's Lightweight 4+ to 10th place and the women's Lightweight 8+ to 12th at the 2006 US Rowing Youth National Championship. The Lightweight 8 finished eighth at the 2005 Youth Nationals.
Setting competed on Duquesne's men's club rowing team while an undergraduate. He graduated from Duquesne with honors in 2001 with a dual degree in management information systems and communication studies. In 2009, he attained a Master's of Science in Sports Leadership degree from Duquesne.
The 35-year old Newtown, PA native holds a Level 3 US Rowing coaching certificate and resides in Dravosburg with his wife, Jennifer.

Former gunner opens The Ark Outpost in Bradeley
Posted: August 27, 2014|
AFTER leaving the frontline for civvy street, former gunner Martin Raynes has carved out a new career as a tropical fish and reptile specialist.
From buying his first fish and tanks when he returned from Afghanistan three years ago, he has gone on to establish The Ark Outpost, in Bradeley.
The shop now stocks a wide range of tropical fish and reptiles, sources rare breeds, and supplies an extensive selection of food and equipment.
Now Martin is running the shop full time, after starting out buying and selling from his home in Norton.
Related content
He said: "It's a bit of a change from The RAF Regiment.
"I'd always been interested in fish, so when I came home from Afghanistan I bought a fish tank.
"Before long I was importing tropical fish from abroad because I couldn't get the fish I wanted here, or when they did become available you would have to be quick to get your hands on them.
"Then someone suggested that I become a seller myself and it all went from there. We'd started keeping some reptiles at home as well and they also proved popular, and before long I was looking at setting up a shop."
The Ark Outpost, in Joyce Avenue, is tailored towards collectors and hobbyists, although its client base includes newcomers and general members of the public.
Its stock list includes channa, discus and chichlid fish, as well as royal pythons, tarantulas, scorpions and amphibians.
The business is now attracting a healthy online customer base, and eventually Martin hopes to expand within Stoke-on-Trent.
He said: "There was a need for what we do – I noticed a definite gap in the market.
"Initially I was working nights and running the shop during the day, but now I'm doing this full-time because it's really taken off.
"In the future I would like to open a second shop, perhaps specialising in another area in Stoke-on-Trent, and we're also considering going to shows and that sort of thing.
"When the Bradeley premises came up and I decided to take the plunge it was a big step, but it's worked out well. Being a business owner is very different to what I used to do, but I think it's ace."
Mum Angela Raynes, who helps out in the shop, said: "Whether it was stick insects or baby mice, Martin was always looking after animals when he was young.
"He is always helping people out. He is helping someone to rehome a pet they can no longer manage, and he has done things like bike rides in the past for Help for Heroes.
"Customers love going up to the shop and spending hours just talking to him, because he is so knowledgeable when it comes to fish and reptiles.
"It's great that he has got his own business and that it is something he enjoys and look forward to every day."

Closures Scheduled for ARTIMIS Signs Upgrade Work
Hamilton County
(Friday, March 23, 2012) –
A project to replace 28 ARTIMIS dynamic message signs on the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky regional interstate system will begin next week.
Work will begin in Kentucky on a sign located on eastbound Interstate 275, west of the I-71/I-75 split. A single lane closure will begin at 7 p.m. Monday, March 26, followed by a double lane closure at 11 p.m. All lanes will reopen to traffic by 6 a.m. the following day.
On Wednesday, March 28, work will take place on westbound I-275 east of Turkeyfoot Road. A single lane closure will begin at 8 p.m. followed by a double lane closure at midnight. All lanes will reopen to traffic by 6 a.m. the following day.
Arrow boards and/or signs will be in place to alert motorists of the upcoming lane closures. To help ensure the safety of the construction workers as well as the traveling public, motorists should remain alert, reduce their speed and watch for stopped traffic while passing through the work zone.

To ensure that library materials remain available for all users, it is necessary for the William Hessel Library to pursue delinquent borrowers. Students, staff, faculty, and community patrons are responsible for lost materials and materials damaged beyond repair.
LMC students: When a LMC student has been notified of overdue materials and has not returned them, a block will be placed in BANNER on the student's records. For functions such as obtaining grades, transcripts, etc., the student will have to contact the Hessel Library to resolve the problem and to have the block removed. The intent of the block is to retrieve library materials for use by others. In the event that materials are lost or damaged beyond repair, the Hessel Library will require payment or replacement to release the block.
Library items are considered lost when 30 days overdue.
Lost or Damaged (Beyond Repair) Charges - includes $10.00 cataloging fee and fine of $5.00 assessed for lost items:
(Some books will be a higher amount if work is by or about a well known artist or photographer - exhibit catalog, compilation of their works, etc.)
As an alternative and with the librarian's permission, an exact replacement copy; or, if still currently available, a new copy from amazon.com, not third party, may be purchased and brought to the library ($5.00 fine and $10 processing fee per item will still be charged). This alternative does not apply to Interlibrary Loans. Those replacement fees are at the discretion of the lending library.

JACKSON, WI (WDJT) – A police officer in Wisconsin spotted a 69-year-old man on a lawnmower, weaving from side to side, driving down a highway Sunday evening.
"I never expected to see somebody operating a lawnmower while intoxicated going down the road," said Jackson Police Department's Kyle Henning.
During the routine patrol, Henning radioed back to headquarters that he was "going to have traffic with a lawnmower."
However, getting the 69-year-old to pull over proved difficult.
"And I had my lights on and hit my siren a few times trying to get his attention and he just kept saying going around go around," said Henning.
Instead, the pair ended up pulling into a Walgreens' parking lot, but even then, the 69-year-old had trouble stopping the machine.
"Instead of putting it into park, he drove forward and hit the curb — and the curb stopped him from going in further," said Henning.
Kenning said Charles Gray told him that he had only had one beer, but Henning did not buy it and conducted a field sobriety test.
The test revealed Gray's blood alcohol level to be "2-1-9," as Gray continued to argue that he had only had one beer.
When Henning asked Gray if he had any questions, the man couldn't figure out what he had done wrong – and why he had been pulled over.
"Ok, you've been drinking. You're operating a lawnmower on a roadway. These are problems!" said Henning.
During the stop police also discovered Gray's license had been suspended because of three earlier drunk driving arrests.
Gray appeared in court Tuesday and was charged with his fourth OWI.

Church Christmas music: Rehearsals start early for Advent events
Before the leaves change color and even before hints of red and green are in stores, someone is thinking about Advent. Music ministers plan Christmas cantatas and concerts months before churchgoers add them to their calendars.
At Hope Valley Baptist Church in Durham, the choir received the music in August for this year's Christmas cantata, "Appalachian Winter" by North Carolina-raised composer Joseph M. Martin.
At Grace Baptist Church in Durham, its choir and another church choir, Faith Baptist in Youngsville, started rehearsals in September for their first joint choral concert, "You Are Loved." Music minister and worship leader Emily Rudolph said Faith Baptist is where she works and Grace Baptist is where she serves, as several congregants from Faith have been coming to Grace since September to help its revitalization. The joint choir will feature 60 to 70 singers. The joint children's choir and a small choir of middle school students will also sing. There will be eight songs as well as dramatic scenes during the 90-minute program.
"It's sharing the gospel message of Christmas, the birth of Jesus," Rudolph said. The concert at Grace Baptist, the 106-year-old church at 1004 N. Mangum St., will be presented at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, and again on Dec. 15 at Faith Baptist in Youngsville.
Rudolph has directed the Faith choir for seven years. She said she has loved working with both churches' choirs this fall.
"I've enjoyed getting to know new folks and see two bodies of believers come together toward one goal – presenting the message of Christmas," Rudolph said.
The churches, which are 45 minutes apart, rotated choir rehearsals on Wednesdays. They've bonded together as a choir, she said.
"It hasn't been wearying. It's been a blessing, for sure," Rudolph said.
For Hope Valley Baptist Church Music Director Ken Smith, the idea for "Appalachian Winter" came during the summer, when he was at a seminar with its composer. Smith said he is a big fan of Martin, whom he called one of the foremost composers of church music, and has done a number of Martin's works before.
"Appalachian Winter" is a beautiful score, Smith said, with old-time folk tunes and hymns including "Away in a Manger," "O Little Town of Bethlehem," "Children, Go Where I Send Thee" and "Go Tell It on the Mountain." There's a new version of the Shaker hymn "Simple Gifts" and a touch of Native American harmony in the music, too, Smith said.
Last year, Hope Valley Baptist presented another Martin cantata, "Celtic Christmas." "Appalachian Winter" is a tribute to Celtic music, which influenced Appalachian music, he said. The 30-voice choir will be accompanied by a 30-piece orchestra funded by an anonymous donor. Hope Valley's new senior pastor, the Rev. Bill Bigger, will narrate. Vocal soloists are Triangle Opera Studio members Faith Houck, Stephanie Thurm and Helen Wong.
There will not be an offering during "Appalachian Winter," which lasts about an hour.
"This is a gift to the community," Smith said. "The only thing we want is a full sanctuary." It seats about 400 people, and Smith suggested coming early. "Appalachian Winter" will be performed at 7 p.m. Dec. 15 at Hope Valley Baptist, 6900 Garrett Road.
The Hope Valley Baptist choir has devoted half of its Wednesday rehearsals to the cantata this fall, plus special rehearsal time. Smith, who studied, was a singer and voice instructor in Europe, said he was very pleased with the choir.
"They sing with conviction and go the extra mile for me and the church," Smith said. There is never anything as rewarding as lowering his baton, he said. "It's like flying."
More special Christmas music is planned at churches this month:
-- The Senior Choir of St. Paul AME Church will present its 37th Annual Christmas Cantata at 4 p.m. Sunday at the church, 101 N. Merritt Mill Road in Chapel Hill. A holiday reception will follow the cantata presentation. Debra Woodard is the choir director. Refreshments after the service. For information, call the church office at 919-967-3961.
-- University United Methodist Church will host a Carolina Lessons and Carols Service at 7 p.m. on Sunday with UNC student musicians and singers at the church at150 E. Franklin St. in Chapel Hill. Students will read from the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols held at King's College in Cambridge on Christmas Eve in 1918. Musical participants include those from UNC's Wesley Campus Ministry, Presbyterian Campus Ministry, Newman Center, Fellowship of Baptist Campus Ministries, UNC Women's Glee Club, the Tarpeggios, Vision and music students. The service will end with "Silent Night." by candlelight. A free will offering will be collected for missions. Hot chocolate will be served after the service.

text: Well since I wrote it all down below I think I know what happened. Maybe this will help someone else as dumb as me someday. I think the problem is that I also have ntpdate scheduled at 5am... so the one second adjustment must have caused cron to run the newsyslog again. (the entries below show the second running one second earlier than the first) Curse this adled brain I guess the moral of the story is to not have your time update near another cron job... Bill ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's not a question of if I am doing something wrong, its what... On 3.7: I changed my /var/log/maillog rotation to use $W1D05 which according to everthing I read, should mean Every week on Monday at 05:00. Which works great. Wonderful. Except for the entries I changed to that run twice right after each other. After the first time it ran I had this: -rw------- 1 root wheel 473930 Aug 15 15:41 /var/log/maillog -rw------- 1 root wheel 102 Aug 15 05:00 /var/log/maillog.0.gz -rw------- 1 root wheel 452207 Aug 15 05:00 /var/log/maillog.1.gz The maillog.0.gz log only contains this: Aug 15 05:00:02 ironman newsyslog[29992]: logfile turned over Aug 15 05:00:01 ironman newsyslog[3362]: logfile turned over The other ones that were affected by this also seemed to have the two different PID's when they were run, which leads me to think that two instances of newsyslog were run for some reason... I rescheduled one of my "problem entries" to run by itself at $W1D16 and it ran fine, as expected. Since it has resolution to the hour mark, I have to wait to have my next test of two at the same time run. Has anyone seen this problem? It only occurs on the ones that I did as $W1D05 and I definatly only have one entry for it in cron... ---- Explosivo Internet Technologies Group http://www.Explosivo.com Hosting, Web Development, E-Commerce solutions and more If you have received this e-mail in error, please ignore and delete

"I think people aren't nearly as cool as they pretend to be at naked parties, but whatever, I'm a pessimist."
-- Birk Oxholm, The Naked Truth
The Trouble With Speech Codes
From The Editors
According to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), the premiere watchdog of civil liberties on college campuses, Barnard is the current recipient of their (mocking) Speech Code of the Month award. Barnard is highlighted because of its posting policy that prohibits the famous seven words you can't say on television ("the following words cannot appear on any posted information at Barnard: shit, piss, cunt, fuck, motherfucker, cocksucker, and tits with another for good measure-—"suck"). This speech code is explicit—Columbia has no such institutionalized code, and therefore remains a "yellow light" rather than a "red light" on FIRE's rating system. Yet I fear that more subtle, insidious speech codes that suppress more than provactive words could be on the way.
Hate crimes include any and all forms of speech, writing, literature, or expression that stereotypes, marginalizes, denigrates, and isolates an individual or group based on an aspect of his or her identity. Hate crimes challenge an individual or group's sense of self, safety, and belonging within their community. Hate crimes on campus deny the safe space to which all members of a university are entitled. Hate crimes on campus make Columbia a dangerous place to be.
This definition of hate crime is dangerously broad, making a criminal out of just about everyone I know. Essentially, any form of expression that in any way challenges another's identity (save white males), is a hate crime.

I ninja edited my previous
You're missing IOS 56, you need that for the Shop Channel. You can get it from the ANY Wii guide (you should've gotten it when you did the guide). It should be in the IOS pack.
@Nightstah; It mostly is. From what I see the only problem is he's missing IOS 56 which is what the Shop Channel runs on.
Last edited by SNES_Master; 12-30-2013 at 04:51 PM.
Perhaps I should add something about that to the guide. He's not the first to have this issue where IOS 56 being either outdated or missing was the culprit.
I had to edit my last post as well, I accidentally said IOS 56 was needed for HBC, what I meant to say is IOS 56 is needed for the Shop Channel. Sorry for the mistype.
Last edited by SNES_Master; 12-30-2013 at 04:52 PM.
best way to get ios 56?
If you can wait a couple hours I can upload it to the guide. If you desperately need it now, I suggest either ModMii or NUS Downloader. Those are the best ways to get 1 single IOS separately.Originally Posted by dvddvd
If I spelled something wrong, I'll just blame it on auto-correct
no hurry thanks
in multi-mod manager v13.4 its showing a few ios's not instaled 56 one of them (A) button to install newer ios56 v5662 should i do it or just wait ?
Last edited by SNES_Master; 12-30-2013 at 05:16 PM.
You can try that, it won't hurt. Worst case scenario scenario you continue to get the same error or MMM just fails to install the IOS. In that case the option of waiting still exists.
Also, please don't double post. I check this thread regularly so using the edit button will be good enough. Unless a reply has been made or 24hrs has passed, we ask that you use the edit button.
Shouldn't 56 be part of IOS Update?
I don't think that it is, just wondering if it should be.
