to update offline you install ios60 first then a sys menu 4.1 wad - get the files you need from nusd
Wow thanks Dogeggs did not know this was an option.. I am going to upgrade right now!! So i download 4.1E sysmenu, (v450) and install it after i patch ios60?
Edit: So I downloaded from NUS but it says sth about a mismach... Seems rather unsafe to me.. Is it ok if I upgrade using the system menu from your banner?? seems safer

Ok man, everything went according to plan!! thanks a million!
I think you have to update the guide, for offline upgrade.. also it would be good to point out that people need internet connection to perform an upgrade.. Noobs do not know that!
Also would it be ok if i copied the url of your banner so i can give people what they need without searching? The credit will be yours of course!

Ok, stupid questions I think, but whatever.
1. So, uh, most of homebrew working yet I saw in the comments somewhere that installing new homebrew does not work? Just what does that mean? You can not load HBC or what?
1.1 And that does that mean that every time I want something new installed through HBC I have to through the excrutiatingly painful hassle of downgrading, installing, updating? Because in that case
2. Now, I have also read somewhere on this forum that homebrew load games with only half of the cd speed, 3x instead of 6x. Does that mean that if you load games with the pretty CD-symbol in the topleftcorner they will run at 6x instead of 3x, which they will do if you load them with the hacked loader? I have a modchip btw, dc2pro, so I can load games from the topleft corner, but only if they are 3.2 or <3.2 (since I have homebrew 3.2). Which, according to me, would mean that upgrading to 4.1 would double the speed with which the CD-reader reads CDs. Which would mean that updating to 4.1 would reduce load times, crash incidence and the occasional lag. Or maybe not, I dunno, I am just speculating wildly here.
3. I am thinking of getting the new fancy motionsense. Now, this is basically like, new hardware right? So maybe it needs new system upgrades? And if this is the case, does upgrading to 4.1 solve these system upgrades issues?
Thankful for answers
1.Everything should work fine, it did for me (Uh, except from the new SD thingie on bottom left... Dogeggs do you know why??)
1.1 also installed wads, they do what they are supposed to, no problem
2 Nope, still 3x, probably won't change in the near future
3 Motionsensor should work with 3.4 and above. You may also need ioses 38, 50, 53 and 55 (don't panic they install easy enough)
Im saveral problems. Im trying to upgrade to 4.1U (currently on 4.0U) I installed cios 249 and then patched ios60 but when I go to firmware updater I get initializing network error 116 then a screen with a bunch of letters or #s comes up saying something about bad dump stack or whatnot. Im trying the program you posted to update offline and I think I downloaded 4.1u but where does it save the file to?
Unrar it in a file of your own and run it from there. It should create a new folder in the directory you place it. If you run it from the rarred file, it would save on the temp of pc
Now I have a whole bunch of files with numbers and tmd cetk what do I do with these? Thanks for you last tidbit
Ahh I see the pack wad option my bad nm thanks 4 ur help.
Last edited by crazelunatic; 08-26-2009 at 03:06 PM.
Nah delete them don't bother. Click on dogeggs' sig banner go to system menus and find the one you are looking for i think 4.1 u is v449 (make sure though)
place the wad in wad folder in your SD, and install with wad manager. You said you installed ios60, so you are good to go. If not, do so prior to upgrading. Careful! if you have installed the ios60 don't reinstall it b/c i think that wad manager uninstalls it then ok?

Artisan: Artisans in Peru
Legend states that the village of Chinchero -- high in the Andes Mountain range and overlooking the Sacred Valley of the ancient Inca civilization -- is the birthplace of the rainbow. This traditional Andean Indian village still clings to their cultural roots, filling their colorful market with crafts made with native materials and techniques passed down for centuries.
The remote and extreme geography of this region allowed crafts such as textiles to develop independently of outside influence, leading to ingenious innovations and wonderful techniques that make that their fabrics so unique. Using a mix of complex heading arrangements, intersecting warp weaves, and tubular weaves combined with spindle-spinning and centuries of know-how, every piece they create is a work of art and a little slice of history. Worldwide sales of their crafts helps create interest and raise awareness of this folk art, and of the many indigenous artisans who create them.

Make A Plan
Make sure you have a family emergency plan. Your family may not be together when disaster strikes, so it is important to plan in advance: how you will contact one another; how you will get back together; and what you will do in different situations.
Family Emergency Plan:
· It may be easier to make a long-distance phone call than to call across town, so an out-of-town contact may be in a better position to communicate among separated family members.
· Be sure every member of your family knows the phone number and has coins or a prepaid phone card to call the emergency contact.
· You may have trouble getting through, or the telephone system may be down altogether, but be patient.
Emergency Information:
Find out what kinds of disasters, both natural and man-made, are most likely to occur in your area and how you will be notified. Methods of getting your attention vary from community to community. One common method is to broadcast via emergency radio and TV broadcasts. You might hear a special siren, or get a telephone call or emergency workers may go door-to-door.
Emergency Plans:
You may also want to inquire about emergency plans at places where your family spends time: work, daycare and school. If no plans exist, consider volunteering to help create one. Talk to your neighbors about how you can work together in the event of an emergency. You will be better prepared to safely reunite your family and loved ones during an emergency if you think ahead and communicate with others in advance

TWIA Approves 5 Percent Rate Hike
AUSTIN (Associated Press) – If you own property along the Texas coast, you may see an increase in what you pay for windstorm coverage come January.
Tuesday, the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association's board of directors approved a 5 percent hike in windstorm insurance rates for residential and commercial property owners who have coverage through the association. The rate is set to take effect Jan. 1, 2013.
And heads up, because another increase could be on the way.
At its Aug. 7 meeting in Galveston, the board will discuss an additional increase that would depend on how far a property is from the shore.
Texas Foreclosure, Delinquency Rates Down
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Mortgage Bankers Association) – Foreclosure and delinquency rates were down across the board for Texas in first quarter 2012, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association's National Delinquency Survey, which was released Wednesday.
Texas' overall delinquency rate dropped from 9.1 percent in fourth quarter 2011 to 7.3 percent in first quarter 2012, the lowest rate since second quarter 2008.
Mortgages seriously delinquent (90 or more days delinquent or in foreclosure) declined from 4.7 percent in fourth quarter 2011 to 4.4 percent in first quarter 2012.
Loans in foreclosure increased slightly from 1.8 percent to 1.9 percent. However, loans 90 or more days delinquent fell to 2.5 percent in first quarter 2012 from 3 percent in fourth quarter 2011 and from 2.8 percent in first quarter 2011.

Quarry Falls into Heavy Metal
FORT WORTH (Fort Worth Star-Telegram) – A metal recycling company is moving into an old limestone quarry that is being "recycled" as an industrial park.
Commercial Metals Co. is moving its scrap yard from its current location at North Throckmorton and Northwest Sixth streets to the Quarry Falls Industrial Growth Center off Northwest Loop 820 in Fort Worth.
Last month, the company bought 28.3 acres at the southeast corner of Northwest Loop 820 and Old Decatur Rd. from locally based Keystone Equity Partners, which has owned the quarry site since 2001.
Keystone CEO Tom Blanton told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that Commercial Metals is "working feverishly to prepare the property." According to the Star-Telegram, the company must leave its current home by the end of July.
Commercial Metals won't be neighborless at its new home. Blanton said he plans to move a biofuels plant owned by Keystone Equity to 15 acres at the southeast end of the site, and he has a letter of intent from another user interested in 25 acres.

Class Notes
Student U kicks off
The annual Student U Summer Academy kicked off Monday, with 180 high school students touring 22 colleges in nine states along the East Coast.
The six-week session provides academic and personal skills to students in Durham Public Schools who are at risk of separating from the public school system. Through its year-round afterschool program and annual summer academy, Student U. equips students to be successful in college.
"Watching the ninth through 12th-grade students leave on Monday to visit 22 colleges was a great reminder of why we do what we do," said Former Student U Teacher Amy Bell. "Most of these students will be first-generation college students in their family, and we can't wait to experience this accomplishment alongside them."
Hosted at Durham Academy, 160 middle school students began the program. Having four core classes and four electives daily, the students will visit Duke University, UNC Chapel Hill and N.C. State University during the week of June 24.
Three hundred and forty students are attending Student U this summer from sixth through 12th grades.
Student U is looking forward to its first "Class of 2014 Signing Day" when the first graduating class will officially announce where they are going to college.

Overall place 59/265
Age group 2/10
Given the circumstances leading up to this race, I'd have to rate it a solid performance! You've read it here before – I never train bla, bla, bla…However, this time was literal! Although I had planned to practice swimming, biking, and running; other responsibilities unfortunately took priority. Consequently, the day before the race was the first time I'd ridden my bike and swam since the Block (see below). I had done some running prior to but a nagging foot injury had prevented me from "training."
Pre-race meal = dinner the night before. I stayed away from coffee and booze for two days prior to hopefully prevent any cramping.
Swim – sans westuit this year but still set out hard and tried to hold onto my pace. I ended up about a minute behind last year's time – possibly due to equipment but most likely due to lack of pool/pond time. Crazy thing was my transition time was exactly the same even though I didn't have to strip off a westuit. Maybe because I didn't have my serious race face on or because I really don't like biking that much. Speaking of…
Bike – this part of the course was identical to last year. I was riding the same bike (this year with more dust on it). My time was over 4 minutes slower. Enough said! Here's T2…happy to get off the seat and put the running hat on:
Run – a pleasant surprise! The course changed from last year – a little longer, more trail and less pavement. My time was 4 minutes slower but looking at the other times, this was consistent with the rest of the field. So with an injury that allowed limited exercises for 3-4 months, I maintained my speed from last year. While faster is always better, I'm happy not to be slower!
Overall, a good day. It tempts me to actually put effort into triathlon again but I simply enjoy other ways of exercise more. Adventure racing is more suited my style at the moment. Bold R Dash recap coming soon!
Block Island Sprint 7/31/10
Time 1:23:43
Overall Place 66/371
Age Group 10/24
To sum it up, a not-so-good day on Block Island beats a good day just about anywhere else. I'm definitely disappointed in how the race turned out. It's not just the overall time, but the fact that I couldn't perform to the best of my ability due to some serious cramping in my calves and hamstrings, as well as a mean stitch in my side. I'm thankful for my family and friends out there on the course supporting me; had it not been for them, I wouldn't have even bothered with the run. Anyway, here's how a race looks with cramps 3/4 of the time:
Swim – before entering the water there is a 60 +/- yd dash along the beach and around a flag to start. I blew through this and was the first in the choppy water. This was the bumpiest ride I've ever had in a race. The swells were coming in big and often, and it felt like there were at least 100 people in the chaotic "school" of swimmers the entire time. Nevertheless, I maintained a relatively straight line at a solid pace and came out of the water feeling good.
Bike – I can usually tell within the first minute on the bike if it's going to be a good ride or not. Unfortunately, at 1:01 into it I wasn't feeling too optimistic but had a pretty fast start and was keeping pace with the guy ahead of me in my age group. I held my own while working on my POSE technique and pedaling at a high cadence (100 rpm +/-). Approx 15 minutes into the ride I lost some ground and got passed by my chiropractor who called me out as he cruised by. That was enough motivation for me to pick it up! I closed the gap within a few minutes but then the entire complexion of the race took a turn for the worse – serious "pre-cramps" were knocking in both of my calves. "No (bleepin) way!" I've never cramped up on the bike before. This was not a good sign. At 20:00 I took a sip from my coconut water and noticed I had only consumed about 3-4 oz from my water bottle. I was over 1/2 way through the ride and definitely way behind on hydration. This sensation never subsided and unfortunately the rest of the ride was pretty slow and painful (mentally and physically). I always aim for a negative split when doing a loop course. This was far from the case as I did the second half about 3 min. slower (shaking my head writing this) than the first.
Run – If there is one positive I can take away from this race, I learned my threshold for pain was higher than expected. From the first steps both calves were screamin (yo wtf!). I dialed back my strides significantly hoping they would recover. After roughly 1 mile they felt a little better and I was just dealing with a stitch. I think this is why my run time wasn't terrible because for about 1/2 the time I was at least close to where I wanted to be pace-wise. Also, I think receiving water from my father (completely illegal – I should've been DQ'd) and my straw hat from Mrs. Jenn Newman (again DQ worthy) lifted my spirits for a while. (Video below – my feet should almost be hitting my ass (like in the Goddard videos above). This isn't as bad as the next video. All courtesy of Shawn "Zorro" Newman)
For the last mile the cramping calves rejoined the party and brought along a verging lock-you-up-and-drop-you hamstring cramp. I've experienced this once before during a race and it was absolutely excruciating and demoralizing. So my long-shot hopes of putting on a show and at least finishing strong were vanquished, and I did the Frankenstein shuffle to the finish line. (In this video I feel like a cross between Frankenstein, the Tin Man, and the guy who bonks in the Gatorade commercial. Picking up the feet here would've led to an embarrassing cramp/scream/tumble sequence. Nice work by #42 showing me how to finish off a race.):
Overall a tough time but being around family and friends in a beautiful setting definitely eased the pain. I can take away the following as lessons learned for future races:
- Don't adjust your bike within 2 weeks of a race. I moved my seat forward 1″ and never had a real ride on it before the race. Basically that's breaking the most basic rule I learned in my first tri workshop: never do anything new on race day!
- Make sure to include some electrolytes in the hydration plan a few days before racing. I suspect I may have drank too much water and may have had a mild case of hyponatremia entering the race. Not sure, but it's possible.
- Be more dilligent with on-course hydration! This is a rookie mistake! For sprint races on a hot day I'll try to take a sip on the 5 min marks. As great as the primal way is, it does not lend itself to this sort of practice. It's something I'll just have to keep in mind next time.
Oh My Goddard Sprint – 6/27/10
Time 1:05:59
Overall place 23/223
Age group 4/5
A solid performance overall! Racing always exposes strengths and weaknesses and provides opportunities to evaluate where/how to get better. I learned that I don't need to worry about swimming, biking, or running the set distances leading up to race day. I also learned that I need to get stronger on the bike and better at POSE running. Ok, time for the recap:
Pre-race meal = dinner the night before. I used to wake up 3 hrs before racing to have a smoothie or the classic bagel with peanut butter and banana but those day are long gone. I was not waking up at 4 am and I already had sufficient fuel in the tank. Drank some iced coffee then coconut water before the gun went off.
Swim – lined up on the inside of the pack and just blasted out. Started strong and kept my form and breathing in check. Not too much to report here other than I did better than expected given it was my second open water swim of the year and the first time I swam in almost a full month.
Bike – this has always been my weakest of the three. Unfortunately it is the most significant time-wise. I kept the cadence between 90-100 but couldn't keep up with a couple of people in my age group who passed me. I'm going to make quad strength and pedaling technique my points of emphasis leading up to the Block Island tri. Riding fuel was 12 oz coconut water.
Run – a pleasant surprise. I was nervous at the beginning because I was on the verge of cramping up in my right calf. I ran cautiously for the first 5 min +/- until it settled down. Unfortunately it never went away completely but I was lucky it held off especially because half of the run was on the horse trails which is tougher on the calves than pavement. First video is the very beginning of the run. My form is OK but I need to reach less with the front foot and pickup the support foot quicker. Shout out to the guy in Vibrams. We're in perfect stride together from 0:06-0:07 . Second video is the same hill just the easier way down on the way to the finish line. Again I'm reaching just a little and doing too much dorsiflexion but have a pretty good POSE going.
Overall a respectable performance while training true to the primal way!

Disney Tattoos; When You Wish Upon a Star
Disney tattoos are finding their place in the world of ink once again. I remember being a kid, and seeing the popularity of Winnie the Pooh tattoos amongst women my mum's age, but now they've taken on a whole new level.
Maybe their popularity now is due to the young women that were once the target audience of films like Beauty and the Beast, and the Lion King when they were released, and now trying to re-capture the magic felt when we watched them for the first time. Don't we all know the words to every Disney song ever?
People deal with their love for Disney in many ways – I have a cat named Marie, from the Aristocats, but others lay down their love in a more permanent fashion.
Artists like Beau, a relatively new tattoo artist based in Manchester are tattooing their own interpretations of Disney-love; from the tattooed Little Mermaid, to sleeves dedicated to Duchess. Most of Beau's work seems to be taken directly from the animated films, which I feel is the best way to cement our disney love.
I asked Beau why she enjoys giving people Disney tattoos, she said, "why I do it…. I simply love Disney, always have, I collect alot of Disney memorabilia, and it's probably the highlight of every kid's childhood. No one ever gets bored of Disney. Other passion is tattoos obviously, so combining them both made sense. The girlier and fluffier the better!"
Other artists that are always creating Disney sketches and tattoos include Keely Rutherford, based out of East Side Tattoo in London. Like Beau and other artists who enjoy tattooing Disney, her emphasis is on the girly side of Disney, although she includes Donald and Daisy Duck in her work – characters that aren't usually included in the girl category which is usually dominated by Disney Princesses, but their work all seems to include frills and lace and love hearts.
They add their own traditional tattoo spin on the classic Disney motif.
My all-time favourite Disney tattoo has to be the sleeve created for (amazing) artist Jenna Yekic by Paul Marino. Although it isn't yet finished, Paul has taken some of Jenna's favourite Disney films and created the scenes in her skin. So far 101 Dalmatians, Bambi and Snow White are forever on her person!
Would you get a Disney Tattoo? What would you want?
Look out for a very special Disney-inspired tattoo in the 3rd issue of Things & Ink, released in May.

Creating a new generation of data to solve social problems.
Say you're a water infrastructure company and two nonprofit marketers reach out to you with an offer. The first one says: "I would like to borrow your engineer's time to build a water system in rural Africa." The second one says: "I can help your engineers develop the project management and communication skills they need to be higher-performing employees—which just so happens to involve helping to build a water system in rural Africa." Which would you buy?
As marketers know, how we engage our audience matters. Too often in nonprofit marketing and fundraising, we are focused on ourselves: our programs, the services we offer, the beneficiaries we serve. Don't get me wrong, those things are incredibly important; but they don't give us much leverage with our donors. We shouldn't be engaging with investors and donors by talking about our needs, we need to change the conversation to focus on their needs. We need to show them value. That means understanding the needs, challenges, pain points our investors and donors face and then telling them what we are doing that can help them meet those needs and challenges.
We often already are creating value, we are just not telling the world about it. Take the example above, which is from one client Mission Measurement worked with—a water charity that increases access to water and sanitation by building infrastructure in developing countries. They had a volunteer program where organizations could send employees on a two-week trip overseas to participate in one of their projects. When marketing the volunteer program, they had always talked about it as "an opportunity to experience the work being done in the field and support a critical need of the organization".
Through market research we did with water and waste water companies—a key industry that supported the charity's work—we found out that the volunteer experiences were delivering business value. The engineers who took part, it turned out, were simultaneously building critical soft skills, like project management, communication and relationship management that they needed to be promoted, but were not always getting in their daily role as engineers. By simply tweaking the language describing the program and the value that it offered, the charity can communicate in a much more compelling way to an industry core to their work.
What makes this even more compelling is companies know what they need and are willing to tell you. In our market research, the company representatives we talked to were excited to share the challenges they faced and the ways this charity brought them value. When asked why they hadn't had the conversation before, their answer was simple: no one ever asked us before.
The added benefit of talking about value, not programs, is that when it comes to fundraising we can shift to value-based pricing. Traditionally, when we talk to funders, we ask them to fund a project, and share a line item budget of the costs involved. When we sell our impact, we can price based on the value an investor gets from our work—not the accounting behind it. For example with the water charity, what is it worth to a company to develop the skills of key employees? Well, given what companies spend these days on training and employee retention, it's probably more than the $2,000 it costs to fund an engineer going on a trip.
So change the conversation. Show investors the value you can deliver for them and have them pay the freight for it. And if you don't know, don't be afraid to ask them what they need. Their answers may surprise you.

Have I been blocked by an iPhone? Is there any way to tell who has blocked my number?
Have you been blocked by an iPhone using iOS 7 or iOS 8? In this article we explain the telltale signs that you've been blocked by an iPhone: the way your phone behaves as you (unsuccessfully) try to get through, what the response will be as you call, text and attempt to leave a message, the giveaway number of rings before being diverted to voicemail and so on. We'll help you work out if someone has (for whatever reason) blocked your number on their iPhone.
We've also got links to articles that explain how to bypass the iOS call block if you wish (although there are ethical and potentially even legal implications to this), and how to block nuisance numbers on your own iPhone.
Who blocked my number? How can I tell if I've been blocked by an iPhone?
What is iOS call blocking? It's a brilliant feature, and exactly what it sounds like.
One of the simplest but most convenient new features added in iOS 7 - 2013's updated version of Apple's operating system software for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch - was the ability to easily block the phone numbers of nuisance callers. (We explain how this works in 'How to block a number on any iPhone'.) You can also block numbers in iOS 8, 2014's follow-up to iOS 7.
This is great news for those who are plagued by calls from salesmen or drunken ex-boyfriends. But what if you're on the receiving end? How can you tell if someone has blocked you on their iOS 7 or iOS 8 iPhone?
The simple - and sad - answer is that you can't easily find out for sure; but there are clues. We blocked one of our other phones to find out exactly what it's like to be blocked, to help us work out when we've been blocked in the future.
If you'd rather watch our experiment than read about it, however, have a look at the video of the top of the article. We first show how to block someone in iOS 8/iOS 7, and then demonstrate what effect that has on the blocked phone, so you can see the telltale signs.
Have I been blocked: What happens when you ring someone who's blocked your number on their iPhone?
We rang the iPhone that had blocked us. The phone rang exactly once, and then we were told that the number was unavailable. Then we were invited to leave a message. (Note that the iPhone never received any notification that this message had been left. But the blocker can access these messages if they choose to go into their voicemail and scroll down to the 'Blocked Messages' folder. Thanks to reader Kat for bringing this to our attention.)
A single ring and then being diverted to voicemail is the giveaway behaviour you're looking for - but bear in mind that this can also result from the phone being switched off or set to auto divert.
To rule these out, you can immediately ring again from a different number, or disguise your number using the relevant code for your country (141 from a UK landline, for instance), or by switching off your call ID in the settings if you're using an iPhone (Settings, Phone, Show My Caller ID, switch to off).
This time your number won't be visible and any block on that number will be bypassed. If the phone really is switched off or set to divert, it will once again ring once and then go to voicemail. But if you were blocked, either the person will pick up, or it will ring a few times until you ring off or they turn down the call because there isn't a caller ID they recognise.
Thanks to our reader, posting below under the name 'This is true', for coming up with this cunning scheme.
We've rounded up links to all our iPhone tips and tutorials here: iPhone tips and tutorials, everything you need to know
Have I been blocked: And what happens if you text someone who's blocked you?
What about if you send a text to the 'blocker'?
We tried to send a text message to the phone that had blocked us. Everything proceeded as usual: the text sent, and we got no error message. But the 'receiver' didn't get any message, or any notification.
But a clever reader, Vickie Humphrey, has thought up a way to get more clues: try to send the text as an iMessage.
"The way to tell if you've been blocked," Vickie explains, "is by checking to see if your iMessage says 'Delivered'. You've been blocked if it doesn't, and after a good few minutes, it sends as a text message. Which is never actually being received."
Thanks, Vickie.
Have I been blocked: How to tell if someone has blocked your phone number
So. Other than the obvious clues - you never seem to be able to get through to someone, despite ringing at various times and checking that you've got the right number - the main giveaway is the way you get diverted to voicemail after exactly one ring. If your call is manually declined, or if they're just not available, then you'd expect the phone to ring several times before you're diverted.
If you're getting a single ring before being diverted to voicemail, and then when you try again with caller ID hidden you get a different response (multiple rings and then declined or diverted, or they pick up) then something is probably up.
Finally, Vickie's clever iMessage trick (see previous section) is a useful way of seeing if you've been blocked, assuming you're calling from an iPhone.
Remember that just because you are allowed to leave a message - or because your text seemed to go through without any problems - that doesn't put you in the clear. The blocking process is quite sneaky about letting you (the caller) know what's happened.
As we said, though, there's no way to be sure this is what's happened, so be careful before you start throwing around accusations! And if any amateur sleuths out there work out a foolproof method of finding out if you've been blocked, let us know in the comments or via Twitter. Our thanks to the clever readers who've already contributed techniques for cracking the mystery.
How to call someone anyway, even though they've blocked you
Yep, as discussed briefly above, it's possible to hide your caller ID (or use a code to stop it from being revealed) and thereby call someone who's blocked you. We take no responsibility for the legal and social consequences of doing this - it's an emergencies-only strategy that some would consider harassment, and personally we'd take the hint and stop calling - but we've written a tutorial showing How to call someone who has blocked you.
Get your own back: How to block a number using an iOS 7 or iOS 8 iPhone
This is all very upsetting, of course, but call-blocking is actually a very useful feature of iOS 7 and iOS 8. If you're getting calls from a persistent telesalesman or infatuated ex - or you want to take revenge on the person we've been talking about in this tutorial - then it's easy for you to make use of the feature yourself. And now you know what they'll be experiencing.
You can easily block a number from the Recent Calls menu. Check out the process in our tutorial 'How to block a number on any iPhone'.

Tohei sensei presides at the World headquarters in Japan. He first started teaching outside Japan in 1953 and today his Ki Principles are taught worldwide. The Calgary Ki Society is affiliated with the Northwest Ki Federation and Ki Society International.
The Northwest Ki Federation is headed by Calvin Y. Tabata. He is a 8th degree black belt in Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido and a lecturer in the Ki Society. He has trained Aikido for over 50 years and taught in the U.S. Northwest and Western Canada for over 30 years.

Calgary Ki Society 40th Anniversary Celebration
Ki Training
The purpose of Ki training is to help students improve the quality of their lives. By improving health and performance, Ki training helps students to be more productive and successful in their personal and professional lives. We view training as an ongoing process emphasizing personal direction and growth through lifelong training. Ki training helps students to live positively and excel in a rapidly changing world.
Children's Program
Learning the principles of mind and body coordination at a young age helps children direct their energy more positively and effectively, and gives them self confidence as they grow up. In Children's Class, Ki and Aikido are combined in a non-competitive environment to teach children to utilize their full potential.
Aikido Training
Aikido literally means the way to harmony with Ki. Students study Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido to learn to coordinate mind and body, to work with others positively, and realize their full potential. Aikidoists use Ki to powerfully lead their opponents rather than colliding or fighting with them. The principles of Aikido apply directly to dealing productively with people in daily life. Students learn the process of applying Ki to the martial art utilizing the principles of non-dissension and the five principles of Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido.

The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") proposed for comment new regulations on Crowdfunding.
Crowdfunding is the general term used to describe a new way of raising capital using the Internet. A crowdfunding campaign generally has a specified target amount of money to be raised, an identified use of those funds, and is often associated with small investments from a large group of people. Until now, crowdfunding websites did not facilitate the sale of securities.
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act ("JOBS Act"), enacted on April 5, 2012, created a regulatory framework which permits, upon the adoption of these rules by the SEC, individuals and companies to sell securities to the public using crowdfunding. (It should be noted that these rules do not apply to "crowdfunding" websites that sell securities but limit the investors to "accredited investors.")
The JOBS Act established a new exemption under the Securities Act of 1933 under Section 4(a)(6). These proposed regulations would provide additional requirements that both issuers and companies that are seeking to engage in the crowdfunding business as an intermediary would need to meet.
Below we summarize and discuss the proposed rules applicable to issuers that, in our view warrant particular attention. Part 2, to be addressed in our next alert, discusses the proposed rules applicable to the crowdfunding intermediaries, as well as the proposed rules relating to the liability scheme.
As a general matter, the SEC has proposed rules that are often difficult and technical in nature. The disclosure obligations include items such as financial statements (which must be audited if the issuer is raising over $500,000, certified by an independent public accountant, if the issuer is raising between $100,000 and $500,000), a written summary of the issuer's financial conditions, such as one would find in a Management Discussion and Analysis section of a prospectus, and a discussion of the material factors that make an investment in the issuer speculative or risky.
In addition, reliance on this exemption obligates the issuer to provide ongoing annual reports to its shareholders, in many cases forever. These annual reports would mirror the offering statement, including the narratives discussed above, and in many cases would require audited financial statements on a yearly basis.
The proposed rules do permit the intermediary to provide advice in complying with the rules (whether this constitutes providing legal advice under state law is another matter). However, the SEC is not proposing a form to assist the issuers, or even providing a general outline of some of the required disclosures. This makes it very difficult for the average company to meets its legal obligations under Section 4(a)(6) and these proposed regulations.
The complexity of these rules all but requires companies to utilize substantial legal assistance in connection with their offerings. This requires these small companies to use their limited resources, not on product development, research or other potentially value creating activities, but on accountants and lawyers. To make matters more difficult, the regulatory liability scheme for crowdfunding offerings can leave directors, officers, and other employees involved in the offering with personal liability despite acting on behalf of the entity.
Despite the supposed good intentions, crowdfunding under Section 4(a)(6), as currently proposed, does not appear ready to help small businesses close the funding gap. In this author's view, the proposed rules should be designed to foster an open and transparent market, with a few limited, but clear rules regarding disclosures. Strong civil and criminal liability, as exists under the current statute, would protect investors from fraudulent activity. The twin stated goals of investor protection and capital formation would be better served by truly relying upon the "wisdom of the crowd" instead of re-creating the obligations under a registration statement, through rules that require 568 pages to propose (that is not a typo).
These rules are proposed, and have not yet been adopted. Until rules have been adopted, the Section 4(a)(6) exemption is not yet available.
If you do not agree with the SEC's proposed rules or have any other thoughts or comments on them, please send them to the SEC. Comments should be received by the SEC on or before February 3, 2014.
The JOBS Act enacted a new exemption for the offer and sale of securities pursuant to Section 4(a)(6) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), which provides for an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of Section 5 for certain transactions.
To qualify for this exemption, transactions by an issuer must meet certain specified requirements, including:
The JOBS Act required the SEC to propose certain rules regarding the implementation of these provisions, as well rules that would implement exemptions from the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").
As discussed above, Section 4(a)(6) provides that "the aggregate amount sold to all investors by the issuer, including any amount sold in reliance on the exemption provided under [Section 4(a)(6)] during a 12-month period preceding the date of such transaction is not more than $1,000,000.
As indicated above, Section 4(a)(6) limits the amount of securities that any individual can purchase annually. The limits are based upon the income or assets of the purchaser.
The proposed rules:
Under Section 4(a)(6), a transaction made in reliance on the exemption, "must be conducted through a broker or funding portal that complies with the requirements of Section 4A(a)."
Section 4A(f) of the Securities Act excludes certain categories of issuers from eligibility to rely upon Section 4(a)(6) to engage in exempt crowdfunding exemptions. These are (1) foreign issuers (2) issuers that are subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements (generally public companies); (3) investment companies, or companies that are excluded from the definition of investment company under Section 3(b) or 3(c) of the Investment Company Act.
The proposed rules also exclude the following:
Section 4A(b)(1) provides that an issuer offering or selling securities in reliance on Section 4(a)(6) must file certain specified disclosures, including financial disclosures, with the SEC, provide these disclosures to investors and the relevant broker or funding portal and make these disclosures available to potential investors.
The disclosures set forth in Section 4A include items such as
In addition to these statutory requirements, the proposed rules:
The proposed rules would require an issuer to prepare regular updates on its progress in meeting the target offering amount – currently at one-half and one hundred percent of the target offering amount. These updates would also need to be filed with the SEC on EDGAR.
The proposed rules also require a filing of a final progress update, no later than five business days after the offering deadline, disclosing the total mount of securities sold in the offering.
The proposed rules also require that any material changes in the offer terms or other disclosures must be filed with the SEC via EDGAR.
Section 4A requires that an issuer that has raised capital using the Section 4(a)(6) exemption must file with the SEC and provide to investors reports of the results of operations and financial statements of the Issuer not less than annually.
Section 4A(b)(2) provides that an issuer shall "not advertise the terms of the offering, except for notices which direct investors to the funding portal or broker."

text: Home Politics Obama Tells Ohio State 'Your Future Is Bright' President Obama begins commencement-speech season at Ohio State University. By: Jozen Cummings Posted: May 6 2013 12:13 AM 0 President Obama at Ohio State University (Matt Sullivan/Getty Images) President Obama kicked off his annual commencement-speech tour on Sunday with a visit to Ohio State University. In front of a crowd numbering close to 60,000, according to the New York Times, the president steered clear of stumping or any partisan politics. Instead he chose a message of uplift and hope for the graduating Buckeyes of 2013. His address was both a pitch for good citizenship and an optimistic message as the economy recovers from the most serious recession since the Great Depression. "While things are still hard for a lot of people, you have every reason to believe that your future is bright," Mr. Obama said. "You're graduating into an economy and a job market that is steadily healing." The president described the graduates' generation as having a "sense of service" that "makes me optimistic for our future." Ohio State's class of 2013, he noted, included military veterans, volunteers for the Peace Corps and Teach for America, and entrepreneurs who are already running start-up companies. Their lives, he said, started as the cold war was ending and the Internet age was beginning, and they came of age as the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, wars, recession and technological advances transformed America. For Obama, this was the fifth visit in the past year to the university, which was a hotbed of youth voting for his re-election campaign. It was his first visit in his second term.

Photographer Candice Sedighan's 11-year-old golden retriever, Champ, has found himself a surrogate father to an unusual brood: A small flock of baby chickens.
Champ shows an unusual degree of tolerance and care with the chicks; he lets them "cuddle up to him and burrow into his fur for extra warmth," Sedighan says on YouTube.
Sedighan is fostering the chicks at her home in Southern California until she can find homes for all of them, and though she was initially cautious of how Champ would react to his new houseguests, she needn't have worried.
"I hope that this video can show people that senior dogs can be just as cute as puppies! The gentle and wise nature of senior dogs is simply unmatched," she told Storyful.com.

Who Looked More Bitchie? Amber Rose Vs. Rita Ora In Jeremy Scott's Moschino Collection
Earlier this year, Jeremy Scott debuted his new capsule collection for House of Moschino during Milan Fashion Week, which will either make you hungry, or ready to turn on some cartoons. This is the epitome of taking risks in fashion and now some of our fav chicks are rocking it!
This week, both Amber Rose and Rita Ora were spotted making the sidewalks their runways, as they wore pieces from the Autumn/Winter 2014 line that were inspired by McDonald's Happy Meals, and the popular animated series, SpongeBob SquarePants. Amber worked a red dress paired with open toe booties as she exited Urth Caffé yesterday, and Rita Ora rocked a polka-dotted yellow dress from the collection with matching heels while promoting some new music in London.
Who looked more bitchie?
Catch more from the collection below:
Hershey's Milk Chocolate, Cheetos, and Sea Salt chips all made their way down the runway. My stomach's growling!

Betting Smart - Avoid Multiple Event Bets
So ya wanna bet on sports and make some money? Your going to need to bet smart in order to have a chance. Let's investigate a few do's and don'ts to help increase your chances at beating the bookie.
Avoid Parlays
Yeah yeah, we know. They pay so nicely! Sure, WHEN you hit one they do. When can be far and few in between.
Bookies drive cadillacs because of parlays. What does that tell you? Avoid falling into this trap where big payoffs and get rich quick schemes blur your vision.
Stick to straight betting at -110. Better yet, dump your old traditional corner bookie or online sportsbook and sign up at Pinnacle Sports (http://www.pinnaclesports.com/?refer=xmybo) where you can bet on games at -105 to win $100.
Avoid Teasers
Teasers are exactly what their name states. "Teasers." It's fine and dandy to move the line 7 points on a game, but with the extra vig you pay for doing so as well as the fact that you have to win at least 2 games to be a winner makes this nothing more than a sucker bet for most.
Disclaimer: There are sharp bettors that can utilize teasers with "certain" underdogs to beat the house. Not recommended for the novice sports bettor though.
Stick to straight betting. Lay -105 to win $100. Much better proposition. Besides, it's much easier to win one game than it is two or more!
Avoid it All
Avoid pleasers that reverse point spreads and have massive payouts, avoid reverses with high payout offerings, avoid everything but side bets and totals where the vig is low and the chance of winning is mightier.
Everything else is just a sucker bet that increases the houses chance of winning.
Until next time, good luck with your wagers!

New Siemens CT Offers Faster Speed, Lower Dose
Siemens Healthcare's SOMATOM Definition Flash dual-source CT requires only a fraction of the radiation dose that systems previously required to scan even the tiniest anatomical details faster than ever before, according to Siemens. The SOMATOM Definition Flash featuring two X-ray tubes that simultaneously revolve around the patient's body. The fastest scanning speed in CT (i.e., 43 cm/s) and a temporal resolution of 75 ms, enable for example complete scans of the entire chest region in 0.6 seconds. Thus, patients are no longer required to hold their breath during the exam the way they had in the past. At the same time, the SOMATOM Definition Flash operates at an extremely reduced radiation dose. For example, a spiral heart scan can be performed with less than 1 millisievert (mSv), whereas the average effective dose required for this purpose usually ranges from 8 mSv to 40 mSv.

This book introduces the concept of public sector rationing in asset markets and provides a modern non-Walrasian approach to macroeconomic policy analysis. The detailed treatment of credit rationing regimes makes this work particularly relevant to economies where the interest rate is regulated. Other topics covered include the disaggregation of the government into the treasury and the central bank, the specification behavior of households, firms, and the central bank as intertemporal optimizers. The book provides models that can be easily extended to take into account both institutional and economic structures of all economies and the particular needs of the policy analysts before empirical implementation.
Reviews & endorsements
"This book is a gem, and should have a large impact on the profession. I myself have been returning to an old interest of mine--incorporating financial and macroeconomic considerations into computable general equilibrium models. After an exhaustive survey of the relevant literature, I find the framework proposed in this book the most useful." Irma Adelman, University of California, Berkeley
