According to the bronze plaque atop Battle Monument Hill, the Battle of Kettle Creek was one of the most important battles of the Revolutionary War in Georgia. Andrew Pickens later wrote that Kettle Creek "was the severest check and chastisement the Tories ever received in South Carolina or Georgia." He should know - he fought in all the major battles in both states.
To celebrate this historical event, the City of Washington, Georgia stages the "Revolutionary Days" events, including a viewing of the "Battle of Kettle Creek" video at Mary Willis Library. This is an excellent interpretation of the battle and gives a visitor a thorough background of the events that occurred on February 14, 1779. Afterwards, there is a Grand Parade around Washington Square, then a visit to the Battle Site. It just so happened that this year's event was hindered by the presence of a light rain, so the Memorial Ceremony was moved inside the Pope Community Center. That didn't stop the Patriotic Organizations from showing up in the hundreds to particpate in the remembrance: the official program listed 95 presenters!

Below is the poem entitled Rehab which was written by poet

Read Poems by
Travis Flasnick
So much I wanted to say. So much I wanted to shout.
It was like being trapped behind bars without a way
to get out.
My mind going wild with all these questions of why.
The only way to escape was to fall asleep or to cry.
What did I do so bad that made me have to pay?
My friends, my dreams, and my life was swepped away.
I know I can do it! I try and I try.
Nothing seems to get better. I sometimes wish
I would Die.
Starved for attention. I wanna talk to the world.
I just miss being loved. Miss the warmth of a girl.
Snickers and stairs is what my life has become.
I'm treated like I'm a kid, like I'm sick, or I'm dumb.
One day to the next. Life becomes work just to be alive.
I thank god for my blessings. I thank god I survived.
I finally see some improvement. More hope tickles
my brain.
It was worth all the time, all the tears, all the pain.
I awake with a smile and new hope to move on.
I did it! I did it! All those hard times are gone!

The telephone wire basket is a relatively recent craft development which reflects the ingenuity of craftspeople. Brightly coloured telephone wires are used to great creative effect, decoratively covering objects such as bottles and walking sticks, or made into plates and baskets." (Todres, 1998 Guide to South African Arts, Culture and Heritage). The origins of telephone wire weaving is traced to Zulu night watchmen in urban areas who, to banish loneliness and boredom on night shifts, took to weaving coloured wire around their traditional sticks. Soon this technique was adapted to making izimbenge (beer pot covers) and the telephone wire bowls we have today. This craft now encompasses enormous creativity in diverse forms. Depending on the skill of a weaver, a small 12cm bowl can take from 3 to 5 hours to complete, whilst a large 40cm basket can take up up 40 hours to complete. No two baskets will be identical as each artisan draws on their own creative knowledge base to produce unique designs and patterns for each product.
The techniques and aesthetic of traditional grass basket-weaving have been beautifully adapted by contemporary Zulu artisans to this contemporary material. The baskets are as bright and colourful as the telephone wire used, and very sturdy. They are also completely washable

How to Go for Your Dreams
Everybody has dreams, even if they're buried deep inside childhood fantasies. Maybe it's time to rediscover them and make them come true. After all, nothing is more fulfilling than achieving a personal goal that you have set for yourself. Whether your aspirations are humble or monumental, achieving your dreams is the best route to happiness and satisfaction.
1Get in touch with your dreams. What do you fantasize about doing with your spare time? What extraordinary future makes you feel a little bit more alive when you imagine yourself in it? What did you dream about when you were a child? Think about it and write it all down.Ad
2Read books or check out websites relating to your dream. For example, 16-year-old Abby Sunderland decided to follow her dream of becoming the youngest person to sail solo around the world. She wrote the book Unsinkable (Thomas Nelson, 2011) about her experience. Steep yourself in the stories of people who have done or are doing what you want to do. See how they followed their own dreams, and take notes to learn how you can do the same.
3Establish a community. Make sure you have other people to talk to about your goals that will support you and not doubt your dreams. If there is no one in real life, try sites that let you become friends with people who will not only care about your dreams, but hold you accountable to them. But no matter what, have someone there that truly cares.
4Identify mental obstacles that stand in the way of your dreams. For example, maybe you've always dreamed about becoming a painter, but you were too worried about what people think, or about not making enough money. In this case, your obstacles are ego and finances. Ask yourself honestly: What's most important, achieving my dreams, getting respect from my peers, or being financially secure? If I had to choose between my dreams and my other concerns, what would I choose?
5Make changes in your life. If you're not already working towards your dreams, you're probably trapped in a cycle that keeps you locked away from them. Break the cycle. For a lot of people, that means changing careers. (Read How to Switch Careers.)
6Set clear, inspiring goals. Goals are like pillars that support your dreams.Ad
We could really use your help!
- Believe in yourself
- Never let someone fill your head with doubt.
- Keep moving forward and live in the now. If you have trouble letting go of something in the past, e.g. something you feel bad about, then write it down on some paper and then destroy the paper — ripping, shredding, anything, as long as it's gone and you can move forward to follow your dream.
- Discovering your dreams is an ongoing process. Often, as you try to make your dreams a reality, you learn more about what you want. For example, you might have dreamed about becoming a vet, but in the middle of vet school, you may realize that your dreams involve training animals rather than treating them. Don't be scared to adjust your course as you learn more about yourself and what you want out of life.
- Close your eyes and imagine what you want. For example, you want to play football. Close your eyes, relax, and imagine yourself playing football. Visualize your goal.
- Remember the words of Franklin D. Roosevelt — "When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on."
- You can provide yourself with an extra measure of motivation by using the Best Me Technique of self-hypnosis to pre-experience the rewards of a long-term goal, thereby reducing or eliminating the need for "will power."
- Never give up and look foreword to you dream.
- Never ever give up. Some people give up easily, not noticing how much they have accomplished.
- Most people give up without realizing how close they were to accomplishing their dreams. Don't be this person.
- Never lose focus if something that appears better comes along.

When you think of Notre Dame Law School (ranked #22 in the latest U.S. News rankings), you generally don't think of lies and deceit. But there have been some troubling campus security issues at the school. We previously reported on a creepy, fake 1L that was posing as a Notre Dame law student.
And we've heard rumors of the mysterious Notre Dame kleptomaniac. Some kid who has been stealing books around campus. Apparently this person has made the trip to London along with a number of Notre Dame students studying abroad.
The change of time zone hasn't changed this person's desire to steal. A tipster reports on "Petty Theft Law School: London"…
One student decided to submit a public service announcement to the Notre Dame law students in London:
First, pardon the mass email. I'm not one to normally do this, but I felt compelled to send one out on this occasion. The purpose of this email is simply to advise you to pay close attention to your belongings. It seems that the notorious Notre Dame Klepto is amongst our midst. Yesterday, one of my books were stolen from my locker.
After class I temporarily locked up my books with a low quality lock from Boots that could be forced open if need be. I then went out to look for a sturdier lock. When I returned, just a few hours later, my Federal Rules of Evidence book was missing from my locker. The reason I am sending you this email is not because I want to make a big fuss over the one book, but simply so that you can be aware that there is a thief amongst us and make sure that you pay close attention to your personal items.
There is some irony in a thief stealing a book on evidence.
It's not very legal to run around stealing things. It's not very Christian either, for what it's worth:
I am sure the vast majority of you feel as I do about knowing that one (or various- who knows?) of our peers are stealing things at this point in their lives. Not only are we LAW students, but we are at a school that is founded on the principles of Christianity and being ethical. Stealing is not only illegal it's also a sin. We are all sinners and have to work on our own faults and being better people; I hope that whoever is stealing is currently making an effort to stop this particular habbit of theirs. There are better role models than Madoff!
Hmm… yeah, I'm going to go on and say that I'm not wild about the Madoff reference there. Let's hope the person was making an innocent reference to a famous crook instead of making a wholly inappropriate comparative religious inference. It's not like Catholics are in the best position to be talking about role models just at the moment.
In any event, this public service announcement comes with a very sharp warning:
As for my book- I marked it on the cover, placed discrete marks on various pages on the inside, and I know what the cover looks like. So, unless you wish to be disclosed, don't ever bring that book to campus. I will recognize it even on the day of the exam. Thus, if you have the book, please place it on top of locker 32. No questions will be asked and we will all be oh so very proud of our incognito klepto for taking a step in the right direction.
T'is all for now mates.
I imagine the person who wrote this email sitting there like Dog from Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. You know, when the guys are stealing the money and Dog is sitting there, shaking his head, saying: "I'll find you. I'll find you."

1955 Hudson Wasp Hollywood.
This car is a true time capsule--a real gem. Super rare and desirable top of the line Wasp hardtop for 1955--called the "Hollywood". Originally a Texas car, this is vehicle is totally rust free and is in great condition inside and out. The paint is outstanding and the chrome and trim sparkle, including the original air conditioning trim pieces on the side. The only cosmetic issues are: headliner has stain area in rear right passenger side. We contemplated replacing the headliner but it appears original and overall is in very good condition so we left it as is There's a little wear in headliner around the center knob about dash.. The door panels are all in excellent condition, except the plastic underside to the arm rest are cracked on two of them (this is the old style 1950s plastic that was brittle or would expand/contrast with heat). The dashboard and original "alligator" padded dash top are in great condition, including the pull out "drawer" glove box. The floor carpets are likely not original but they are in fine shape and look period. The seat upholstery backs are original, but the seats--front and back--were replaced with new fabric in 2011 (no one is reproducing Hudson fabric for this year/model--not even SMS--so we matched as best we could. The original vinyl was used though--so it's only the fabric in the seats that was redone). The understuffing in the seats was redone underneath.
Has rare factory continental kit. Trunk has lining and is clean as a whistle. Rubber is very good overall, though there is at least one spot where it's a bit aged but there are not leaks or issues. Carbeurator was rebuilt in 2011 and engine was tuned up so that it runs great now. Rare original factory air--blows but not ice cold. Interior is largely original and in excellent condition.
When was the last time you saw one? Never???!!!! This is really a rare car.

Officials watching for coal ash in Kerr Lake
A recent statement from the state's environmental regulatory agency has fueled concerns about coal ash in Kerr Lake.
But Michael Womack, of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers located at John H. Kerr Reservoir, says the results from sediment samples taken from Kerr Lake are below screening levels concerning human health.
"The sample results for sediment collected are coming back below screening levels concerning human health," Womack said on Friday. He is operations project manager with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
On Thursday, the director of Water Resources at the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources told Time Warner Cable News that trace amounts of coal ash were found at Kerr Lake.
"Basically, my understanding is that U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service took sediment sampling or sampling from the river all the way along to the headwaters of Kerr Lake," Thomas Reeder said in the published report. "Anyone that's talked to me about it, I've told them we've found trace amounts of coal ash all the way to Kerr Lake."
Jamie Kritzer, DENR spokesman, said the department issued a press release back in February that mentioned layers of gray ash being spotted on the surface of the Dan River just before the headwaters of Kerr Lake.
"None of the tests have confirmed the presence of coal ash in Kerr Lake in any quantifiable amount," he said Friday.
Though the samples collected by the Environmental Protection Agency and DENR have not detected coal ash, Womack said there could still be trace amounts in the lake.
"Just because it's non-detectable for coal ash doesn't mean there are not trace amounts of coal ash that haven't reached the reservoir," he said. "There is not enough coal ash in those samples for it to be detected."
A few boaters have recently reported spotting a grayish substance resembling coal ash along the shores of Kerr Lake.
The concerns about coal ash in Kerr Lake stems from the Feb. 2 collapse of a stormwater pipe beneath the coal ash impoundment at Duke Energy's Dan River Steam Station in Eden.
The John H. Kerr Reservoir is roughly 80 river miles from the site of the coal ash spill in Eden.
As much as 82,000 tons of coal ash flowed into the Dan River after the pipe collapsed along with 27 million gallons of contaminated water.

Shoppers, retailers turn Thanksgiving into Black Thursday
By Christen Coulon
Black Friday, the Friday following Thanksgiving, is considered the busiest shopping day of the year. The descriptor "Black" refers to the date retailers can expect to finally show profits for their year's work. This year, a concerted effort by retailers to squeeze an extra day of shopping out of this busy weekend had shoppers lined up a day early making Thanksgiving Black Thursday.
At the Selmer Walmart, the parking lot was overflowing and shoppers filled the store looking for deals last Thursday night.

Time to celebrate this joyous season
In this joyous season, I must mention that I am honored and humbled to be selected as president of Cumberland County College. I appreciate so much the support and confidence I have received from the CCC Board of Trustees, college employees, students and the community.
I will continue to work with our talented and dedicated professors and staff to provide even more opportunities for students to succeed. With the ongoing support of our community, I sincerely believe that Cumberland County College will continue as one of the finest community colleges in New Jersey.
Im proud and impressed with way our busy employees, students and area residents take the time to help others with acts of kindness in this holiday season and throughout the year. Residents are donating their money and time to charitable organizations in the county.
More than 65 CCC employees donated $6,297 to United Way during an on-campus campaign coordinated by counselor Linda Slomin. Similar campaigns are being conducted throughout the community.
Two weeks ago, the eighth annual Celebration of Lights was held at CCC. College employees teamed up with their colleagues at Vinelands Sabater and Petway elementary schools, Millvilles R.D. Wood School, and Bridgetons Broad Street and Quarter Mile Lane schools to assure that the last week of the year would have pleasant memories for a group of needy kids.
The children sang carols, learned about the holidays and enjoyed the special treats. And thanks to the generosity of CCC students, faculty and staff, all of the children received gifts from Santa.
The childrens eyes said it all. To these students, some who are homeless or in shelters, the gifts meant warmth, esteem, respect and joy. Each child was special. Every child was loved.
As CCCs semester was ending, the Northeast was hit with one of the most severe snow storms ever recorded in December. Once again, the people in our community met the challenge and bonded together. On campus, our maintenance crew worked around the clock to clear the snow, enabling the college to remain open except for two days.
And there was plowing throughout the county. Many residents made sure their neighbors walkways were shoveled, particularly if they were senior citizens.
Ive discovered that the people who live here are hard-working, compassionate, innovative and kind. Our students prove every year that they are willing to hurdle many obstacles on their path to success.
Im impressed every day by the miracles of learning that occur on our campus. Thats why I am so optimistic concerning the colleges and the communitys futures, which are intertwined.
Every year at this time, I visit my parents and other family members in Nigeria. And I always enjoy telling them inspiring stories about the remarkable people who live in Cumberland County, New Jersey.
I certainly wish all of you a prosperous and healthy 2010, filled with educational and professional accomplishments as well as personal fulfillment.

ANDERSON — Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul — a possible 2016 GOP presidential hopeful — said Monday he doesn't expect to get involved in Sen. Lindsey Graham's primary battle next year, but he hasn't completely ruled it out.
Graham currently faces three Republican challengers who say he is too prone to compromise and not conservative enough.
Some Lowcountry conservatives plan to meet from 6-7:30 tonight at North Charleston City Hall to discuss Graham, who they invited but who isn't expected to attend.
Paul, one of the Senate's most conservative members, has disagreed with Graham over foreign aid, drone strikes and the National Security Agency's data collection, among other issues.
Still, Paul said he was not inclined to get involved in Graham's primary. "I'm going to try to let South Carolina determine who they want for their senator," he said, adding, "I haven't completely closed the door."
Paul was here to join U.S. Rep. Jeff Duncan for his annual barbecue fundraiser, one that was expected to draw more than 600 supporters to the Anderson Civic Center. U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., also attended, as did former Rep. Jeff Landry of Louisiana.
All of Graham's announced opponents, state Sen. Lee Bright of Spartanburg, businesswoman and first female Citadel Grad Nancy Mace and Upstate businessman Richard Cash were working the room as people lined up for a plate of barbecue.
Monday's event was primarily to help Duncan, but it also gave Paul yet another chance to speak in an early voting state.
The University of Virginia's Center for Politics rates Paul as one of three top tier 2016 Republican presidential contenders, along with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. But Paul said he won't decide for many more months if he will enter the race.
"I want to try to help different Republican candidates over the country," he said, "and talk about issues that will grow the party larger."
Asked what the United States should do in response to Syria's alleged use of chemical weapons against civilians, Scott said the country first must ask "what is our national interest in Syria. I'm not sure we have clarified what that position is."
Paul said it would be up to Congress, not President Obama, to declare war in Syria, and he said weighing in to help the rebels would pose two ironies: It would be supporting Islamic militants, while Christians are more on the side of Syria President Bashar al-Assad. He also said those fighting al-Assad have ties to al-Qaida.
Paul, who comes from the libertarian wing of the Republican Party, is son the of Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, who drew passionate support from a small slice of the state's GOP electorate during his 2008 and 2012 presidential runs.
If he were to run, he could attract support from younger conservatives, much like his father did, said Citadel assistant science professor Scott Buchanan.
"A lot of Republicans who are under the age of 30 are not the same kind of Republicans that they're grandparents are. They're much more libertarian," he said. "I know my students are disgruntled with the Republican Party in terms that they are too worried about social issues and that they don't take it to the Democrats like they should."

how do you know what files you need if you have a backup copy of zelda?
I've updated the OP. And here's the rest.
DVD Playback
The Wii has a DVD player in it. All the games are DVDs, obviously. But apparently Nintendo didn't want to pay the licensing fee - or whatever it was. And it would have caused the price of the Wii to go up.
I've seen apps here and there in .pal on other forums. But I've yet to hear of a working one that doesn't require a mod chip. Some people argue that the Wii wasn't built to handle the supposed stress of watching a DVD. But others came to the conclusion that it's no different if not less worst than playing a game.
Well, what about mod-chips?
You can load the homebrew channel among doing a ton of other things with a mod chip only. There are various models/versions out there. Some only work with certain version of the Wii. There is also a mod chip that required no soldering and simply clips in. Although from my research it seems these are more problematic and not worth the hassle. Your best bet is to try to find a local installer.
Why don't my saves work in SNES9x?
Make sure you go back to the home screen before turn off the game.
Apps that the homebrew channel can run
Here's the best list for that
Do the Twilight Hack everytime you want to install an App?
No, use the Twilight Hack to install the Homebrew Channel, run everything else through there. Backup your original TP save and put it back when you're done (if you care about keeping your savegame like I do).
How do the emulators run?
Emulators (and all other apps) are run through the Homebrew Channel which lists all the apps on the SD card.
You can remove the channel just like any other channel, all other data is stored on the SD card, not the Wii memory, so theoretically Nintendo wouldn't know about it unless you accidentally left the SD card in.
Moving channels around
I added this because I had no idea if you could do it nor how. Simply hold the cursor over the channel and hit the back trigger of the wii-mote and the a button.
I've got a wii running 3.2e and zelda. I havent done this on a wii before, so what are the chances of bricking?
Loading the majority of homebrew via the Twilight Hack/Homebrew Channel is no risk to your console whatsoever. You might get the occasional code dump and have to turn your console off and on again, but most everything runs off the SD card so there's no risk of doing pemanent damage to the console itself. Some of the homebrew utilities, however, might permanently delete channels or brick your Wii if used incorrectly (the duplicate channel removers and firmware mess-around-ers), but if you're just looking to run emulators you won't ever need to touch either of those things.
Is there a huge reason to use this if I have no interest in using emulators?
Yeah, why not? People are making games for it and I think lots of interesting stuff will come in the near future. And come on, who wouldn't have ScummVM on the Wii?
I followed all the instructions and got the homebrew channel installed and it's all good, but for some reason, the sample apps that were linked in the OP won't work.
They'll all boot, but then don't accept any input and turn off my wii remote, any ideas?
Yeah, for some reason some apps unsync the wii remote, you have to resync it again unfortunately. I hope they fix that.
Also, some apps only use the gamecube controller, check the wiki in the OP.
Hmmm, I tried to install quake abut it doesn't show up in the homebrew channel.
For quake I have it in it's own folder named "quake" in the apps folder which contains:
ID1 (folder)
Am I missing something here? I'm using PAK0 because I can't find my quake CD at the moment so I don't have PAK1.
You'll want it set up like this for Quake:
/apps/quake/boot.dol (rename the .dol file)
/apps/quake/icon.png (optional)
/apps/quake/meta.xml (optional)
/ID1/PAK1.PAK (if you have the full game)
Since the old apps is out of date and not working so good I thought I'd make up a my own bundle of the latest versions of the programs that I think are decent.
My hosting isn't so great so if someone with better bandwidth could put up a mirror it'd be great. This pack contains the Twilight Hack and the Homebrew Channel with instructions to install them as well as the following applications all setup, tested and working:
Duck Hunt
FCE Ultra (NES)
Gen Plus (Genesis)
Hugo GX (TG16)
Open Tyrian
Quake GX (Shareware)
SD ELF Loader
SMS Plus (Master System)
Snes9x (SNES)
Visualboy Advance (GBA)
WAD Manager
Wii Physics
The emulators all work really well and have the directories set up and just need the roms etc to be put in them. If there's any problems with it let me now.
So, am I to understand that I have to do the Zelda savegame load thing to install the WiiBrew channel?
To be more specific: I understand what the site is telling me, that a pure "drivechip" (what most people call modchips) isn't actually going to let me burn the channel to a DVD and have it loaded by the Wii, but I don't really understand why. Surely if the DVD could pretended to be all signed, the Wii would have no worries loading it and installing the channel?
You can download and burn an iso of the Homebrew Channel installer, and use it instead of bothering with the Twilight Hack. This method will work with any console that has a modchip/drivechip. I did it myself, it was super-easy.
But the Homebrew Channel shows up in the play history on the message board doesn't it? And related comedy question, can it be reviewed on the Nintendo Channel?
Yes it can. Disable the Data Sharing option in the Nintendo Channel unless you're feeling brave. There haven't been any reports of Wii Bricking from this, but you never know.
Looks like a port of MPlayer just got released. It's a pretty early build and very very no frills (You can't even pause a video).
However I did successfully get it to play mp3, avi, mov, wmv, and half of a flv (which then locked up) with no issues.
It's definitely something to keep an eye on as I can tell future versions will be great.
Right now everything has to go on the root of your SD card other than the program itself.
What's the difference between a .dol file and .elf file?
None, they'll both load the application. If an application comes with both, you should just go with the .elf unless otherwise stated.
Does my SD card have to be a specific type?
Yes, it has to be a 2GB or less (anything higher has special security on it which isn't compatible with the Wii) and formatted in FAT16 or FAT32 (The Wiki and other boards will tell you FAT16, but I use FAT32 and nothing wrong has happened yet)
The Twilight Hack isn't loading properly, why not?
You might be trying to use the wrong save files.
Look at your CD's serial number (on the bottom, inside the ring. You should see a bunch of letters and numbers. What's important is the last bunch, the A0-# JPN/USA/EUR) Make sure the file you've put on your Wii is the right one. The initial release of the CD should be A0-0 JPN, so put the JPN save on your Wii and load up the first save file. A later release version will be A0-0 USA or A0-2 USA. If your CD has the latter, load up the second save file in-game using the USA save data.
Why does -such and such- application suck?
If you're positive that it's not your Wii's fault, remember that Wii Homebrew is still fairly new and on the rise. Not everything is working perfectly.
The most recent Wii update (V3.3) made a bit of a scare since it wipes out the special save file needed to load the hack and also makes loading Trucha signed discs impossible to load.
So how do I load my imports now?
A new application called Gecko Region Free (GeckoOS) was released, and it can be loaded right from the SD card via Homebrew Channel and it will load any retail Wii game from any region. (It does not support burned copies [yet?] of Wii games)
I'm not going to tell you where to get filez but google is your friend. I got a lot of results by just typing in what I wanted with .wad or wad or "download". A .wad can be pretty much anything you can buy/download from the nintendo store. Games, wiiware, VC, opera, etc. They show up and play as regular channels as they normally would.

how do you know what files you need if you have a backup copy of zelda?
i have the same question!!
Find out where the file came from and if it NTSC or PAL and that will help you. Or just go rent the game -.-
I'm pretty sure if you have a backup you have a mod chip. If you have a mod chip you can install the homebrew channel without zelda?
how can you install homebrew without zelda if i have modchip
If you have a modchip and your wii is at 3.2 or below then you can download the iso from the following link and burn to DVD then use that to install Homebrew channel.
Make sure to download the iso which is the same region as your wii.
The Homebrew Channel
Beta 8 seems to freeze up on 3.3, at least in my case. After I run the twilight hack and install it, whenever I enter the homebrew channel it can't detect my network and it won't run any apps. If I try to close out of the channel my wii freezes and i have to hard reset it. I had it running for a while this weekend but after I moved the channel the issues reappeared. Any one else having these issues or know of a fix?
DVD Playback/Media on the wii! Scroll down!
Alright, well I'm watching Speed Racer on my Wii and it seems to be playing pretty flawlessly. It might lag for a sec at an intense part, though. It took a bit of time again to get this set up. Even knowing a bit about homebrew. So here we go.
DVD Playback on the Wii
Yes, it's true. The Wii can play DVD movies without a mod chip. Before you could do it but needed a mod chip. Regardless of the rumor, the games are dvd type. Apparently Nintendo wanted the wii to be cheap. It would have been more expensive if they had to purchase the DVD license fee - yatta yatta yatta. All this software/install does is install the software needed to "unlock" it.
Wait. I don't want to burn my drive laser!
Yeah, I was worried too. Granted, it might stop some people. From all the googling and reading I've done the conclusion is it's not any worst than playing a game. Even the developers of this software say that. So if you're worried just don't do it or go read if it damages the laser over time or not.
So how do I get started?
Well, if you don't have the homebrew channel installed scroll up. For DVD playback I suggest you use MPlayer. For everything else use Geexbox. Both of these programs are ported for the wii.
Installing the Mplayer DVD version
Files -
If you have a modchip, you also need patchmii, in addition to the DVDX stub installer.
If you don't have a mod chip skip this step.
So first off. If you have a modchip drag the patchmii.dol file into a folder named anything into the apps folder and install that through the homebrew channel. I believe it needs to access the internet. So make sure it can connect wired/wifi. Some mod chips don't need this to be done but I'm not sure which ones. I did it on my d2pro9 just to be sure and it worked fine.
Secondly drag the dvdx folder and the contents into your apps folder on your sd card. Pop it in the wii, open homebrew channel, and follow on screen options.
Now for the mplayer file you downloaded.
Just copy the "mplayer" folder into the "/apps" directory on your sd card and
launch it via the HBC.
Here's a video tutorial
Watch and learn: DVD on Wii how-to video - Joystiq
Download -
MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service
Has some pretty sweet features. From bluetooth to playing files via an external hardrive. I think you can even stream them. Check here for all the features.
GeeXboX - WiiBrew
Drag the geexbox folder into the root of your sd card and the other geexbox folder in the "apps" folder in the .rar file into your apps folder.
Just put all the files you want to play into the root folder on your sd card. If you go that method.

Full detailed profile on Carmen "Sugar" Morales Played by Elizabeth Rodriguez on All My Children Daytime Soap Opera.
Elizabeth Rodriguez (Soaps.com)
Birthday: June 9
Jack arrives at the prison to see Erica. She asks how things are going and he says she is in for a long haul. The guard brings in Carmen; she tells him about her past. Jack agrees to help her. The guard returns. Jack doesn't want to leave but Erica says she'll be fine. They touch hands through the wire and then Jack leaves. Erica catches up with Carmen in the hall. When they get back to the holding area, another inmate asks for Erica's autograph. Carmen says this is how she knows they won't be friends forever - because Erica is on a different level than she will be. Erica says she isn't going to give up on freeing Carmen. She doesn't believe Erica. The guard returns and takes Erica back to the meeting room. Kendall is there and is once again in panic mode. Erica says if Kendall doesn't stop freaking out she'll go back to her cell and not come out for six months!
Louisa and Mondo see the smoke from Erica's tape recorder. Louisa grabs it out of Erica's bra and throws it to the floor; she tells Mondo they need to kill Carmen and Erica! They begin messing up Louisa's apartment to make it look like there was a struggle. Erica tries convincing them that the tape recorder was only for show purposes. Carmen turns to Mondo and tries to romance the gun away from him. He weakens and she slugs him! Erica jumps on Louisa to keep her from shooting Carmen. Just then Jack and Zach burst through the door with several Chicago cops! Erica tells the cops to listen to the tape but it is destroyed. Carmen tries to get Mondo to tell the truth but he won't even admit he knows her. Erica turns to Jack and asks how they can help Carmen put Mondo and Louisa in jail. As they talk, Zach realizes that a computer in the home has another person's name on it. He gives it to the police who agree to investigate them for burglary. Zach brings up the guns and Mondo's parole. Mondo is going back in the clink! After the cops lead Mondo and Louisa away Erica thanks Jack for rescuing her. He tells her to stop taking so many chances. She kisses him and then leaves with the other officers and Carmen. Carmen turns to Erica and says she wants the kind of love that Erica has with Jack!
Erica turns to Carmen, who is flirting with Mondo, and tells her to get back with the plan. Louisa waves the gun around and tells them to be quiet. Erica tells Carmen it's time to tell them the truth about why they are really there. Louisa sits down as Erica tells her about the television show. She offers to make Louisa and Mondo reality television stars! Erica explains that they can use fake names and that she won't cause problems for them. Louisa agrees to do it and tells her about the troubles of being a single mom with not enough money. She says that she and Mondo began stealing because they couldn't make ends meet any other way. She says they brought Carmen in to be the fall guy in the bank robbery - their first really big job! Carmen notices that Erica's tape recorder is smoking and interrupts. Erica looks down and tries to cover the smoke with her hand.
Erica and Carmen arrive at Mondo's mother's home in Chicago. Carmen is dressed to the nines and Erica is wearing a jogging suit; Erica makes Carmen promise to keep her mouth shut and let Erica take charge. A tough woman comes out and Carmen pushes her way inside. She accuses Mondo's mother, Louisa, of being a thief, too. Erica steps between the feuding woman and tries to reason with them but Louisa starts physically pushing her around! Erica pulls the gun and demands to know where Mondo is but Louisa won't say. Erica says they'll wait. He returns a few minutes later and Louisa hollers for him to run but Erica shuts the door. She tells Carmen to let Mondo have it but Carmen changes her tune very quickly when Mondo turns on the charm. With Erica distracted, Louisa grabs the gun and takes control!
Erica picks the lock of her handcuff with the nail file and then grabs the gun. "And the tables have turned," she says when Carmen wakes. Carmen is stunned and believes Erica is betraying her by trying to get away. Erica points out that she was never along for the ride willingly. Carmen emotionally wishes Erica well and she leaves. In the hall, though, Erica has second thoughts about leaving. She returns and says she is willing to give Carmen a second chance - if she agrees to make some changes. Erica leaves for a second and calls Kendall and Zach, who are ecstatic to hear from her. She promises that she is fine. Zach offers to come and get her but Erica says she wants to stay lost for a while. Kendall can't believe it. Erica hangs up on them. She turns to Carmen and says they have work to do. They go up and down the aisles, looking for makeover items. Then, Erica sits Carmen down and says a new woman is right around the corner.
Erica and Sugar are going through the discount store, looking for things to make their stay comfortable. Carmen comments that Erica has probably never been inside a discount store. Erica takes offense and tells Carmen that she wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth and that she has fought for everything she has now! She tells Carmen about her early days and all the ups and downs of her professional and personal life. She says she used those hard times to build her strength. Carmen cries, saying she can't do that. Erica tells Carmen she can still take control and get herself out of the situation. They make pallets on the floor and Erica keeps encouraging Carmen to make changes. She falls asleep as Erica talks. Realizing this may be her only chance to escape, Erica pulls a nail file from her pocket.
In the delivery truck, Carmen points the gun at Erica and tells her to get rid of the truck driver - or she will! Erica begs the man to let them go, saying they were just trying to get home to their families. He recognizes her and remembers the media reports and decides to call the cops. Carmen threatens him but he picks up the phone anyway. Erica says if he calls the cops, he'll go to jail, too! She says the truck is filled with designer fakes, which he just transported over state lines. He gives in and sends them on their way. Carmen leads them to a store that is closing and they sneak in to spend the night. She is disappointed that she's wearing a designer fake; Erica says she's wearing the real thing!
The driver swerves the truck in which Erica and Carmen are riding and a few boxes tumble down. Both women are unharmed. Erica reaches for a box but Carmen thinks she is reaching for the gun. She tells Erica to stop trying to escape. Carmen notices one of the boxes has opened and finds designer clothes inside! She and Erica bond over the gorgeous dresses inside. Erica explains about the different designers and fabrics; Carmen is enthralled. She decides to try one dress on but because of the handcuffs, they have to cut the dress a little to make it fit. Carmen decides to have her own, private fashion show and tries on more dresses. Erica begins talking about the price of the different dresses, making Carmen feel ill. "I'm afraid to touch it," she says but Erica insists that she try another dress on. The truck stops and as the driver opens the door Carmen points the gun at the door!
Meanwhile in the back of a package truck, Erica tells Carmen they are just going to get in more trouble. Carmen shows her the gun and says they'll be fine. Carmen snacks on canned cheese, then offers Erica some but she can't eat. She is worried about what Carmen might do with the gun. She begs her to reconsider going after Mondo. Carmen refuses. She asks about Jack and Erica remembers the early days with him. She tells Carmen about the good and bad days and Carmen asks why they aren't still together. She tells Erica that she'll never find anyone like Jack and that she better fight for him. Erica shakes her head, saying she has no future with Jack. As they drive a few boxes become loose and fall around them.
In the barn, Erica, thinking Carmen is asleep, is reaching for Carmen's gun. Carmen jumps awake and points the gun at Erica instead. "Not the smartest move, Erica Kane!" she growls. "You're making a mistake," Erica whispers. Erica tries to convince Carmen that she "knows people" and she'll help Carmen achieve her goal of finding her ex-fiancé. "I don't want to find him, I want to kill him," Carmen insists. Erica reminds her that it makes no sense to kill him, because she'll be facing a life sentence if she gets caught. Again Erica tries to convince Carmen to let her go. But again, Carmen won't hear of it. Instead she forces Erica to go with her to look for food. They find their way to a convenience store where Carmen forces Erica to act like her lover to hide the handcuffs binding them. Erica threatens to scream, but again Carmen threatens her with the gun. They pick up a few items. While at the cash register, Erica spots a TV where a press conference is taking place – there's Kendall! It shakes her up, but she covers by asking for chewing tobacco and lipstick. A trucker comes out of the bathroom, saying he's headed to Chicago. Carmen tries to hitch a ride with the guy, but the guy says the truck is full. As the girls leave, Erica drops a piece of paper on the floor…a clue, maybe?

DCTF Mailbag
2014-06-13 00:00:00
By Greg Tepper and EJ Holland // TexasFootball.com
Every other Friday, the Dave Campbell's Texas Football staff will answer some of your questions from Facebook and Twitter, so if you've got a question, be sure to ask it through our social networking channels!
Now, let's dive into your questions!
Any chance we see Texas Tech on the cover of DCTF anytime soon? — @Finraider5 via Twitter
Greg Tepper: Well, we're not in the business of promising anyone the cover — that's the most prestigious thing we can give, and it's something earned, not given. But the signs of a Texas Tech renaissance appear to be in place. We've heard from so many people (recruits, players, coaches, etc.) that Tech is a rising star not just in the Lone Star State, but nationally. The recruiting has taken a step forward since Kliff Kingsbury took over, but we're still waiting on the on-field results to take hold. Will it happen? We're not sure. One thing we do know: 2014 will be very telling as to the direction of the Tech program, and thus their chances of landing on the cover soon.
How do you see Charlie Strong's first season at Texas going?— @dommydigital1via Twitter
Greg Tepper: That's the $64,000 question, isn't it? The official stance of Dave Campbell's Texas Football on the Texas Longhorns is "wait and see." But as much as we could talk about the offensive line situation (sketchy) or the quarterback situation (interesting) or the defense (potentially terrific), it's worth remembering that this Texas team almost won the Big 12 last year. For all the hand-wringing from the Longhorns faithful, this is a team that was a win away from a BCS bowl berth. So even with a coaching change — and Charlie Strong's a heck of a coach — this is a program that still has plenty of talent. For now, between 8 and 9 wins seems reasonable, but it wouldn't surprise us if they overachieved that.
Will Allen 3-peat? — Brett Ming via Facebook
EJ Holland: I think Allen is definitely the overwhelming favorite to win the 6A Division I state title. There are some teams like DeSoto and Euless Trinity that will obviously challenge. But Allen is just well oiled machine with an explosive offense led by perhaps the most electrifying player in the state in Kyler Murray. Just look at his stats: last season, the Texas A&M pledge passed for 3,669 yards, rushed for 1,274 yards and scored 65 touchdowns. That's right, 65 touchdowns! But beyond Murray, Allen has a solid offensive line anchored by junior stud Greg Little, Oklahoma commit Bobby Evans and stout senior Cody Wheeler. It all starts in the trenches, and Allen has an advantage there. Also, keep an eye on wide receiver Jalen Guyton, who is committed to Notre Dame. Allen does have a weakness, however, and that's inexperience on defense. The Eagles return just one starter on that side of the ball, so growing up quickly is imperative.
How can colleges offer scholarships to kids before they're even in high school? I thought it was a violation of the rules. — Kelly Turney via Facebook
EJ Holland: Nope, it's not illegal. As the fictional character Ricky Bobby says, "if you're not first, you're last." In this day and age, it's all about who establishes relationships the earliest. Take LSU for example, Les Miles and Tigers offered phenom Dylan Moses when he was an eighth grader. Now, Moses, a rising sophomore and one of the most sought-after 2017 recruits, is committed to LSU. In my opinion, I don't see any harm in offering eighth graders if you think they're going to be world beaters like Moses is primed to be. It's not hurting anybody, and recruiting is already a circus as it is. Again, the schools that are establishing the relationships the earliest are the ones that are coming out on top. I was talking to a scout the other day, and he even said colleges aren't even asking for info on 2015 players anymore— they want to know about the 2017 kids. By the way, LSU landed eighth grade Somerset quarterback Zadock Dinkelmann earlier this spring.
How will the Electra Tigers fair this year? —Danny Johnson via Facebook
EJ Holland: Well, I don't want to give too much away since you can find our Electra capsule and 7-2A predictions in our 2014 magazine, which hits shelves June 20. But Electra will be young this year, and there is concern about the team's depth— Electra brings back just three starters on both sides of the ball. Running backs Payton Robertson and Zairy Hargrove are nice pieces on offense, but this team has a lot of growing up to do. Make sure to pick up the magazine to get all of our thoughts on the Tigers and every other high school in Texas!

Given that English justice sets the standard for the world
, I would think you would favour ignoring this small anomaly in favour of concentrating on the big picture.
Apart from that, if I were to clutter the forum by starting a thread over every little thing I found worthy of criticism in the non-Western world, I would rightly be called a huge mug clown. Why don't you stick to important stuff, like dwarf tossing?
I used to think this was true until I read this article and was alarmed by how familiar the whole situation is. Familiar, that is, because it reminded me of my country's deeply flawed criminal justice system. I must say that I'm quite disappointed in how the English courts have handled these rioting cases.

Sorry, I completely disagree with you. I've heard this deterrence BS from my country's judges throughout my years in law school and in my one year in private practice and it's the biggest load of crap that the establishment can ever say to justify overly harsh sentences in complex situations. The most extreme example which unfortunately happens on a regular basis in my country is imposing the death penalty on drug traffickers and saying that it will deter future drug traffickers from doing the same. If it's really that effective a deterrent sentence, why is it that my country is about to hang another drug trafficker from Malaysia, if he's not already been hanged?
Of course, a harsh penalty is justified in some cases; I'm sure that a lot of the hooligans in the English riots deserve whatever punishment that befalls them, if they happen to be caught. But I just don't see how any of the cases mentioned in the article deserve the punishment that has been meted out. This girl that stole the shoes for example - she sounds like a stupid kid to me. But does she deserve 10 freaking months in prison? Hell no. The whole point of a criminal justice system that purportedly values the principle of innocent until proven guilty is to protect the individual from unduly harsh punishment, among other things. The problem with deterrent sentences is that they fail to distinguish the deserving cases from the undeserving ones, and in the process, might not actually serve the ends of justice.
Anyway, I'm not attacking you; I just feel really strongly about this. I guess I've seen enough BS done to people who don't deserve it over here and I honestly always thought that it's only stupid conservative Asian countries that pull this kind of crap. So yeah, I'm quite disappointed to read this article; seems like the English courts aren't immune to knee-jerk reactions.

Fasig-Tipton Saratoga New York-bred yearling sale catalog now available
The catalog for the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga New York-bred yearling sale is now available online, with a larger roster of 299 horses.
The two-day sale will be held August 10-11 at the Humphrey S. Finney Sale Pavilion in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., with each session beginning at 7 p.m. Eastern. Print catalogs will be available at all Fasig-Tipton offices by July 8.
"We have an excellent group of yearlings to present at this year's New York-bred sale," said Fasig-Tipton President Boyd Browning Jr. "The overall quality is the best we have ever offered in this sale, reflecting the tremendous racing opportunities available for New York-breds. Prospective buyers will find a group of most attractive and athletic yearlings with outstanding sires represented from both within and outside New York."
The catalog for this year's edition is 15 percent larger than last year's book, which featured 260 hips.
The 2012 New York-bred sale posted impressive gains, with 138 horses sold for receipts of $8,632,000, up 28 percent compared with the previous year. The average sale price spiked 15 percent to $62,551, while the median rose 43 percent to $50,000.
The highest-priced horse of last year's sale was a Tapit colt out of the Grade 3- winning Cozzene mare Derrianne, who was secured by Mandy Pope's Whisper Hill Farm for $330,000.

Anchor Bay Children's Choir and Bill Lange Photo Show
Gualala Arts Local Eyes presents "Teach Your Children Well" on Friday, May 8 at 7:30 p.m. The performance will be a combination Anchor Bay Children's Choir concert and a one night photography, multi-media gallery show of images taken of the children over the last two years by Bill Lange. This is a combination of live singing, projected images, and slide show videos set to music.
The multi-media show will include a projected slide show set to music by the choir. Sue Bohlin, director, will give a short talk about the choir program, which will be illustrated by projected photos taken by Bill Lange during the practice sessions.
A number of choral pieces and solos will be presented during the show, including folksongs (Ca' the Yowes from Scotland), classical pieces (Abendlied by Felix Mendelssohn), and songs from Musicals (Gary, Indiana from the Music Man) music sung by children between the ages of 5 (Bay Choir) and 15 (Anchor Choir). One or more pieces will feature students accompanying the songs with the piano or other instruments. Some alumni of the choir will join to sing In Anchor Bay, Bohlin's original composition which has now sold over 2000 copies since its publication 2 years ago.
Combining music and projected still images will be featured in the next section. These are images taken during the months of rehearsals. The slide presentation shows the personalities and the true inner spirit of the children. The final piece will be a live performance of Teach Your Children Well set to the portrait images of the children taken by Bill Lange.
A gallery display of black & white framed 11" x 14" portraits will be available for viewing and purchase before and after the performance.
The Anchor Bay Children's Choir was founded in 2004. This conservatory based music program teaches motivated children to read, appreciate, and perform music. ABCC has appeared at Gualala Arts Center, St. Paul's, Cypress Village, Surf Super, Sea Ranch Lodge, Pt. Arena Schools, Blue Canoe Cafe, Arena Theater, Manchester Grange, Manchester School, and at Piedmont Choir's Spring Sing in Oakland, California. Call 884-5477 or email email@example.com for more information.
Bill Lange, a portrait photographer from the Sea Ranch, met Sue Bohlin, director
of the local children's choir in 2006 and a collaboration began between the art of
music and photography. Each has observed the other's process of engaging the muse: Of Sue, Bill says: "Sue has developed her teaching skills and interaction with the children so that it is simultaneously fun and an enriching experience. The process of learning songs and music theory gives the children the self confidence to pursue other artistic performances such as theater."
"Bill has an amazing eye. He's taken thousands of shots over the years and can capture the soul of the person and the spirit of the moment." says Sue. "To me, these aren't your ordinary pictures. Everyone should see these gorgeous photos. If you want to find out more about Mr. Lange, please visit his website: www.LTAPhotos.com

Musgrave Brilliant, Strikes Out 12 in Win
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – Junior left-hander pitcher Harrison Musgrave retired the first 20 batters he faced en route to a 3-1 victory over Duke on Friday afternoon at the Caravelle Resort Tournament.
"Any time you can beat a team that is in the ACC, it's a big win," coach Randy Mazey says. "Early in the year we have been playing good, we just haven't been winning. It's nice to play well and win one."
Musgrave (2-0) produced another spectacular outing, striking out 12 in 8.0 innings of shutout pitching. He allowed just two hits, a double and a bunt single, without issuing a walk.
"It was probably my best outing in awhile," Musgrave says. "It's very rare for me to have three pitches that work, so today was an unusual circumstance, but made pitching a little bit easier."
"All of the good stuff he did last year, that might be the best I've ever seen him," Mazey says. "His pitches are getting better, he's really competing and he's making great pitches when he needs to. There is nothing you can say above and beyond what he did today was outstanding."
Senior first baseman Ryan McBroom continued his hot start to the season by driving in all three of WVU's runs. Junior center fielder Bobby Boyd had a game-high two hits, one run and one stolen base.
McBroom plated junior shortstop Taylor Munden in the top of the third on a fielder's choice to give WVU a 1-0 lead. Munden and Boyd led off the inning with back-to-back singles.
In the top of the eighth, McBroom hit a two-out, two-run homer to left field, extending WVU's lead to 3-0. His team-leading third homer of the season drove in Boyd from third base, who had reached on an infield single to shortstop.
A trio of relievers pitched in the ninth inning for WVU with senior right-hander Corey Walter picking up his first save of the season.
Duke starter Trent Swart was impressive, allowing one run on four hits in 7.0 innings with four strikeouts and one walk. Swart left the game in the eighth inning after an apparent injury.
Five players had one hit apiece for Duke, and Ryan Deitrich drove in the Blue Devils' lone run.
West Virginia returns to action on Saturday to face tournament host Coastal Carolina at 1:30 p.m. Junior right-hander Sean Carley (0-0) will toe the rubber for the Mountaineers. Carley has yet to allow an earned run in 13.0 innings. The Chanticleers will counter with right-hander Tyler Herb, who is 0-2 with a 5.06 ERA in two starts this season.

Week of July 1 - 5:
Big drama to start the week and something intriguing to end it. Nice! Thoughts:
Chow time.
Caroline has had moments lately where she's been just too over-the-top. It's not good because she loses her humanity and seems ridiculous. Keep her real, but quirky and mischievous! It was also a bit much that she was telling Rafael how to write his own web series, but you've got to suspend disbelief sometimes. As for Maya and Carter, they had more chemistry while 'acting' than they do otherwise. Saucy!
The lowest low.
Epic drama on the Brooke/Bill reveal! Who didn't relish every minute of the soapy histrionics? Many complained about Taylor's motives and lack of professionalism, but where would we have been this week without her determination and questionable ethics? There's absolutely nothing like one rival getting and dishing the goods on another on a soap. In any case, this is what "B&B" excels at - the big drama, and boy did this situation deliver. Taylor with her smug confidence, Brooke with her silent crying, Bill with his grim bluster, and Katie with her scathing recriminations and tremors of emotion. Brilliant! For a time, we were all on the edge of our seats waiting to see which way Katie was going to go on forgiveness...riveting stuff.
Rick's rally.
The exchange between Rick and Hope about Brooke was priceless. "We don't have all the information yet," he cautioned. Hope retorts, "Like what? She forgot Katie was her sister?" Given Rick's recent run-in with Bill, it was surprising he didn't have more to say on the matter.
The future's not looking so rosy for lovebirds Taylor and Eric now that he's disgusted with her actions. Yike.
No further contact.
It's no surprise that Liam can't understand Steffy's actions. If we didn't know the actress was on a break, we wouldn't get it either as it's not like the character not to face things head on.
Crazy romantico.
Okay, so Hope's upset that Liam called Steffy, yet she's been letting this Wyatt dude kiss her repeatedly. Granted, he's super-cute, but still... Anyway, let's get to the nitty gritty. The last time Wyatt bent over to kiss her, it was revealed that he was sporting a sword necklace. The Spencer sword? Intriguing...
Rick had the reaction that Caroline anticipated when he saw Maya making out with Carter onscreen. Do you think Rick was over-reacting? Vote:

"If I had to bet, which I guess I do, I think you will see the innovation that that team put forward come to market, absolutely," Spencer told Joystiq. "Will it be under the idea and framework of 'Milo,' I'm not as convinced of that."
Spencer said the Milo project was what he called "off-the-grid incubation," wherein a small group would splinter off to work on new ideas. "It's always one of the fears when some of the names become a little more public," Spencer admitted, "because then it's, 'What happened to that?'" In the case of Milo, the project wasn't leaked to the press; instead, it was put on stage at E3 as a vision of what's possible with Kinect."
"We felt like we wanted to put it on stage at E3 because it showed a unique use of Kinect," Spencer said. "We never talked about it as a retail game or as a game even. We did that deliberately. People don't believe us, or didn't believe us then, but we did that deliberately because we knew, 'Is this really going to come out as something called Milo? I don't know.'" He did add that, while they may have been skeptical of Milo's commercial potential early on, they were always confident that "the learning there will show up in projects" coming from Microsoft Game Studios. But what projects?
Did parts of Fable show up in Milo? Absolutely. Will parts of Milo show up in future Fables? I absolutely expect that they will.- MGS' Phil Spencer
A Eurogamer report claimed that the Milo tech would be applied to a "Fable themed Kinect game." Spencer told us, "In the end, if it makes Fable better, that's a win for us. That's great. Did parts of Fable show up in Milo? Absolutely. Will parts of Milo show up in future Fables? I absolutely expect that they will, and that's the kind of circular path that most of the creative teams go through." We're certain we'll see parts of Milo in future Fables; now, the question is whether or not those future Fables include next month's Fable 3.
With none of the proposed Fable 3 Kinect support visible just weeks before launch, it's certainly possible that Lionhead has shifted its strategy to something standalone. "The actual truth of the story is, we did experiment with a few prototypes for Fable. They were okay," Molyneux told us in Tokyo. "If we're going to do Fable and we're going to do Kinect, and we love Fable and we love Kinect, it would be great if there was something I could show you that would blow your socks off and that would be great to do. That is so much more appropriate than doing some minigame." He continued, "It would be better to think of Kinect as being a proper part of the game."
The actual truth of the story is, we did experiment with a few prototypes for Fable. They were okay.- Peter Molyneux
To that end, even with the rumored 19 contractor layoffs, the majority of the 50-person Project Milo team is still hard at work at Lionhead. "The [Milo] team at Lionhead, under Gary Carr working for Peter, they're still there, yes [...] and they're working on technology. But I want to make sure what we're delivering a very understandable consumer proposition with what we're putting forward."
And the circle continues. Spencer said that Project Dimitri -- one of the publicly known "off-the-grid incubation" projects that we now know as Project Milo -- began life "before Fable 2," so it's anyone's guess where and when we'll see it turn up next.

Valleyball countdown begins
HUNTINGTON — As people head down Spring Valley Drive, they will notice a little bounce in the step of basketball players at RPA Memorial Park.
Games on the basketball court are frequent, but lately they've been a bit more spirited and focused.
That's because in one month, the annual Valleyball Tournament makes its 28th appearance at the courts, bringing players from around the Tri-State and beyond to play bragging rights.
"You can feel the excitement building," Valleyball co-coordinator J.B. Blankenship said. "It's the time of year where even if it hasn't been in players' plans, people start talking about it and looking forward to it."
Blankenship and the Valleyball committee met last week to discuss some items to keep the 3-on-3 tournament growing in its 28th year.
According to Blankenship, the committee is attacking the social media circuits to spread the word to a larger contingent of people who might be interested in participating.
"With the growth of social media, we feel it can really help us out," Blankenship said. "We have a Facebook page and it gets us just as many entries as any other means. We're getting ready to start a Twitter account to get the word out, too."
While the goal for 2013 is to grow the tournament, Blankenship said the committee has also reached out to former players in an effort to get them back out to the court.
Blankenship said several past participants, including former Marshall University basketball player Joda Burgess, are speaking of getting teams together to take on the best Valleyball has to offer.
The tournament has two divisions. The A Division is for teams with players who have collegiate experience. The B Division has players with high school experience or less.
Entry fees are $100 per five-member team. A registration form can be printed off the Facebook page.
Davis' Place of Huntington is Valleyball's keynote sponsor for 2013 and the tournament's Bracket Party will take place there Thursday, July 18, at 6 p.m.
Blankenship said having Davis' Place as a sponsor continues with the Valleyball's theme of keeping the community involved.
"We couldn't be happier that Davis' is backing us because (Davis' Place owner) Gifford Perdue is well-known in the community and he's a Wayne County guy, too, which keeps with the tournament's roots," Blankenship said. "It's a great fit because Gifford loves giving back to the community and that's what Valleyball is all about."
The tournament gets underway with B Division action Friday, July 19, in the evening. Both divisions play Saturday, July 20, and Sunday, July 21, beginning at 8 a.m. to play until champions are crowned.
Proceeds from the event go back into the community. The committee selects a Wayne County athlete for a scholarship each year while also providing support to Wayne County's local sports teams for camps and other needs.
