Wondercon 2013 Con Report!

On March 29-31, 2013, Anaheim was home to Wondercon 2013! With the decision to keep Wondercon in Anaheim this year, I couldn't help but wonder if this was a permanent move. The numbers seem to support that decision, with record numbers attending the show, backing with CCI's reputation of entertaining fans with celebrities, comic book superstars, and amazing vendors! In addition, it's proximity to Disneyland is always a big plus for any guy wanting to entertain the whole family.
The show floor was bigger this year, almost replicating the 2 show floor model that ECCC used this year. Also, the huge convention center dome was used to house movie and TV stars to promote their latest works. It was definitely a well run show, and this reporter definitely had a great time talking to fans, artists, and celebrities. Wondercon definitely put on a great show, and whether it's in Anaheim or San Francisco, and I can't wait for next year!
Now, on to the amazing things I got to see at the show:
Welcome to Wondercon 2013!
My first stop: joining the long line of fans for the Wondercon exclusives of Mondo!
Ron Lim signing some Thanos related books in Artist Alley.
Jim Steranko signing some Nick Fury books at his booth.
Admiring the beautiful Arrow statue on display at the DC booth…
And then bumping into some fans on the show floor.
The awesome display at the Oblivion booth.
And a Rocketeer behind the banner posing for fans.
Shredder and Deadpool yelling and random people on the floor. Instant comedy.

Stan Lee came by and wishing Marc a happy birthday!
An amazing Witchblade cosplayer delighting Marc and his fans!
Excited fans waiting in line for Pac Rim.
I got to meet the talented artist Ethan Castillo in the Dan Slott line! Here's a piece that was inspired by Humberto Ramos.

MorrisonCon Con Report!
October 7, 2012 by Richard Oh
Filed under Con Reports and Photos, L.A. Sequential, Nevada
The Hard Rock casino in Las Vegas was home to the inaugural MorrisonCon on September 29-30, 2012. Going in, I had no idea what to expect from this show. I knew that 10 of the biggest names were special guests, including Grant Morrison, frequent collaborators Frank Quitely, Darick Robertson, and Chris Burnham, along with comic superstars Robert Kirkman, Jim Lee, Jason Aaron, Jonathan Hickman, and Gerard Way. Also invited were Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn, Chronicle writer Max Landis, and musical guests Jimmy Urine and Akira the Don.
The energy of the crowd was palpable the minute I set foot in the main room. James Sime, the founder of Isotope Comics, stirred up the crowd with frenetic energy, setting up an introduction to Grant Morrison, who immediately proceeded to introduce Chris Burnham and Frank Quitely, and went straight into talking about upcoming artwork with their respective projects. It was fascinating to see the thought processes of the artists, and how they each interpreted Grant's scripts and how it translated on to a page. Shortly after, Darick Robertson also joined the trio, and gave his take on working with Grant.
The next panel involved Jonathan Hickman (Fantastic Four), JH Williams (Batwoman), Jason Aaron (Wolverine and the X-Men, Avengers vs. X-Men), Robert Kirkman (Walking Dead, Invincible), and Grant Morrison talking about the comic book writing process. From talking about approach to plotting out storylines, to being aware of page turns for reader shock value, to working with different artists and how they might interact with different story tellers, it was a fantastic panel to gain insight from 5 of the biggest writers in comics today.
And since you can't have comics without art, the following panel featured Chris Burnham, Frank Quitely, JH Williams III, Darick Robertson, and Jim Lee. The artists talked about influences, how they go about laying out pages, to new artists in comics that they personally enjoy. And of course, you can't have an artist panel without art. Each artist chose a random guest's sketchbook to draw in, and it was awesome to see them sketch away.
After an hour lunch break, the show continued with a musical based panel, featuring Akira the Don, Gerard Way, Darick Robertson, Grant Morrison, JH Williams III, and Jimmy Urine. It was awesome to see the panelists talk about how music was so intertwined in to their comics, from Gerard Way talking about listening to Tarantula by the Smashing Pumpkins while scripting an entire issue of Umbrella Academy, to the first concerts they've all attended, to an improptu performance of I Wanna Hold Your Hand by Darick, Grant and Akira which brought the crowd to their feet.
The last panel of the show for me was the movie panel, featuring Max Landis, James Gunn, Darick Robertson, and Grant Morrison. Although the panel did get sidetracked at times, it was awesome to see James Gunn and Max Landis debating whether Chronicle was a superhero film and what defines a super hero, as well as Landis arguing with Darick Robertson on what he felt was a huge flaw of The Boys.
On top of these amazing panels, there was also creator signings, where you actually had a reserved spot for a specific writer or artist, and you actually got to talk with them for more than the 10 seconds you're usually alotted at usual cons. That to me was one THE highlight of the show, and I felt it was completely awesome that the artists and writers would embrace the idea, and enjoyed interacting with fans in a more intimate setting.
This show was definitely a one of a kind experience, and I believe is something all comic fans should definitely try attending once in their lifetime. If you ever wanted an comics show that was purely comics based, this is it. With rumors that this show could come back in the future, I'd definitely keep my eye out when tickets go on sale.

Comments Off on Kia and DC Presenting 8 Justice League-Themed Vehicles at NYCC 2012, SDCC 2013, and WonderCon 2013 to Benefit "We Can Be Heroes"
Press Release:
Legendary Comic Artist Jim Lee is Overseeing the Creative Direction of Eight Individually Customized and Characterized Superhero Vehicles to be Unveiled at Major Events Around the Country Over the Next Ten Months
- Batman-themed Optima will be first to be unveiled the same week as New York Comic-Con on October 10
- As part of the partnership, Kia is teaming up with DC Entertainment's "We Can Be Heroes" campaign to help fight hunger in the Horn of Africa
IRVINE, Calif., Oct 3, 2012 – Kia Motors America (KMA), one of the fastest-growing car companies in the U.S has joined forces with renowned comic book publisher DC Entertainment, to bring the World's Greatest Super Heroes to life by combining automotive styling with comic book art. The partnership, which will yield eight individually customized vehicles, harnesses the talents of legendary comic book artist and DC Entertainment Co-Publisher Jim Lee, who has collaborated on the design of each car with his vision for each iconic member of DC Comics' Justice League.
Each core member of the Justice League line-up – Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg – has been matched to a Kia vehicle based on key attributes and character traits to create custom, one-of-a-kind rides to be unveiled over the next ten months at major auto shows and comic conventions across the U.S.
The Kia-DC Entertainment partnership will yield a total of eight vehicles timed to be unveiled around five major events around the U.S., including New York Comic-Con, SEMA Show in Las Vegas, North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, Wonder-Con and San Diego Comic-Con. Many of Kia's most recognizable and decorated models – the Optima, Soul, Sorento, Sportage, Rio and Forte will wear the iconic colors and marks of the legendary Justice League Super Heroes and be built by West Coast Customs, RIDES magazine, Import Tuner magazine and others.
"Kia and DC Entertainment are both global brands sharing a youthful and creative mindset, and both serve to inspire and exhilarate their respective fan bases." said Michael Sprague, executive vice president, marketing & communications, KMA. "This partnership will allow us to band these two great brands together in an effort to make the world a better place through the 'We Can Be Heroes' campaign. And with Jim Lee's vision combined with the efforts of some of the best customizing shops in the business, it's going to be a lot of fun unveiling these cars around the country."
The partnership between KMA and DC Entertainment was conceived to benefit "We Can Be Heroes" (www.WeCanBeHeroes.org), a giving campaign, dedicated to helping fight hunger in the Horn of Africa and inspired by the heroism of the iconic Justice League characters. "We Can Be Heroes" encourages everyday people to join the fight by getting involved and donating to bring help and hope to the people most affected by the hunger crisis. Each vehicle will feature a customized piece of Lee's specially-designed artwork to be auctioned at the conclusion of the program with all net proceeds going to the "We Can Be Heroes" program. In addition to the seven vehicles inspired by the individual superhero characters, the Kia-DC Entertainment partnership will culminate with a fully-drivable custom car that encompasses each member of the Justice League that will be auctioned off to raise money for the cause. Kia will help to raise awareness for the "We Can Be Heroes" campaign throughout the partnership through customized "We Can Be Heroes" license plates, signage, collateral materials and in-vehicle video displays.
"DC Entertainment is pleased to be partnering with Kia on this program to help raise awareness and funds for the devastating hunger crisis in the Horn of Africa," said Amit Desai, SVP of franchise management, DC Entertainment. "Each of the iconic members of the Justice League is a superhero in his or her own right, but when they band together as the Justice League, they become an unstoppable force for good and right. The Justice League reminds us that when we combine our efforts with others, we can create a world of change. And that we can do all that and more with style and panache. The Justice League characters look amazing on some of Kia's best-looking and technologically-advanced vehicles."

Recent frigid temperatures may be the bane of your morning commute to class, but they're doing the city at least one small service: Due to the winter's chill, NYC just had nine full days without a single murder (Unfortunately our murder-free streak was broken over the weekend).
Yes, in our fair city, a week and a half without someone ending another human's life is cause for celebration.
More shocking than the city going nine days without a murder is that we have to make note of going nine days WITHOUT A MURDER. But violence is not the only ill to which we've become accustomed. These freezing days have given us a few more under-reported gifts.
- This week, only six rats were seen scurrying across tourists' feet while they waited in line outside their favorite Times Square eatery.
- Cat-calling was down — luckily, when even the murderers won't brave the cold, the misogynists won't either.
- The ever-present stench of fresh dog urine which typically greets us on the way out the door was absent this week (Although in its place were frozen pee-puddles — dangerous, if less malodorous)
- We didn't have to suppress our inner Bobby Fischer walking to class as chess hustlers on Washington and Union Squares were stuck inside practicing.
- John Sexton reportedly gave out only one hug all week. (It was to a snowman.)
- The bag lady who screams gibberish at students on University Place cast a curse on only one freshman.
- With most of the city indoors, the average commuter reportedly had as much as seven personal inches of space on the sidewalks — a level of individual space not enjoyed since Dutch times.
- No one complained about Bloomberg's soda ban since nobody even considered ordering an iced beverage.
- Despite the reluctance of cold-blooded killers to brave the temperatures, the brunch crowd was still out in full force: We somehow still had to wait an hour and a half for a table for four. (Is this above normal? Below? We don't even know any more…)

An indecent act of The National Rifle Association was seen when a new iPhone application, NRA: Practice Range (iTunes link), was released by MEDL Mobile. This application includes a target practice shooting game for 4-year-old, which was not expected after a horrific tragedy that happened with Sandy Hook in Newtown just a month ago.
It seems that just because of wrong time of the release, a lot has been said about this application. When studied in detail, one realizes that it is one of the least violent shooting game .According to description on iTunes, this new application provides safety, training and education era, which includes gun law information centers and educational material. The Practice range also offers a 3D shooting game that is completely safe . It has correct balance of gaming and safety education.
Ars Technica offered a good perspective on this new game compared to some of the over-the-top articles that jump to heated arguments and controversy.
Gun safety is an important factor in reducing accidental deaths or injuries caused by improper use of firearms and this free application looks to be a helpful resource. It would be worth seeing what more can be done in the same context in the time to come.

Ropeboarding is a blossoming new international sport. Notable groups are Brock Ropeboarding, Fly High Ropeboarding, Adrenaline Ropeboarding, and many more. It originated in Kitchener, Ontario thanks to the Brock Ropeboarding group. Tricks that you can do are similar to skateboarding tricks. Many exist but new ones are being thought up constantly. A few weeks ago, one of my friends did a handstand on the ropeboard (of course, she's a gymnast). It provides for hours of fun with friends, a place for your creativity, and an ab workout that you will feel after your first day. Jump on for a thrill!
This is our ropeboarding video:
Step 1: Getting the Supplies
Wakeboarding Handle
Rope (Recommended for at least 300 lbs.)
A Climbing Carabiner
A Tree
Duct Tape
Tape Measure
A basic understanding of knots
Step 2: Preparing the Board
Next, find the middle of the board and mark it. Measure it lengthwise and widthwise then divide each of those numbers by 2 to find the middle in each direction. Mark it here.
Drill out a hole here about the diameter of your rope. You can also paint it if you want.
Your board is now primed for ropeboarding.
Step 3: Preparing the Rope
Do not cut anything else just yet.
The real adrenaline rush comes when you jump out of a 20' tree, try to do a tail grab with out a handle, and u start hurtling tword the ground.
"i wonder how painful this could get if you didn't have a handle to hold on to"

December 2013
MY LOVING LOOPER Tons of guys have their wives travel with them from event to event. But Justine is there, stride for stride with me. It meant a lot to have her there when we won our first PGA Tour event. She's one of the hardest workers I've ever met. Every practice session, every lesson -- she's always there. Last year, we'd drive for hours to Monday qualifiers. I'm truly blessed.

Leslie M.
The date was December 23, 2008. My boyfriend asked me out to dinner, which wasn't unusual for him. We went to dinner at a very nice, romantic restaurant. I was sure he was going to pop the question. He didn't.
As I look back now, he was very fidgety, went to the restroom a couple of times and kept looking at his watch. On our way out there was a limo sitting in from of the restaurant. I said, "Oh wow, someone has a limo." Scott said, "Hey Leslie, let's get in!" I said, "No, you are crazy! We will get into trouble!" He kept playing with me and said, "Come on Leslie!"
I walked over to our truck and got in. As I was shutting the truck door, the limo driver came around and said, "Are you Scott Nixon?" My faced dropped to the ground I am sure. Scott said yes and looked at me and said, "Come on, Leslie." I walked over slowly and climbed in. He told me he didn't know what to get me for Christmas, so he rented the Limo for two hours and wanted to take me to the canyon and around town to look at Christmas lights while drinking wine.
We looked at lights for a while, and as our time was ending Scott asked if I wanted any gum. He reached for his jacket pocket and pulled out a ring box. I freaked out and started giggling until I was out of control. He said, "Leslie�" and that is all I remember until he put the ring on! I called my mom about 10:30 that night and said, "Can we come over?" She said, "Are you going to show me a ring?" I said no. She said, "Oh yeah right, I know you too well."
We went to her house, and I told her about the evening. She asked Scott and I how he proposed. I said all I remember is him saying, "Leslie..." My parents laughed and Scott said, "Well if I had known you weren't going to pay attention I wouldn't have stressed and just thrown the ring at you." I found out later that when he was going to the restroom he was calling his mom and checking on the limo and freaking out about the whole thing. He wanted everything to be just perfect, and it was!

Are Timeshare Maintenance Fees Tax Deductible?
A timeshare is an investment in real estate that an individual makes but shares the property will other investors. 'Are timeshare maintenance fees tax deductible?' When you have a timeshare you will be required to pay maintenance fees on the property. You will not be able to claim a tax deduction on any of the expenses associated with maintenance fees on the property, as stated by CPA David H. McClintock of Timesharing Today. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) considers these fees as home improvements and do not allow a deduction.
If you purchased a timeshare because you wanted the rental income, you can deduct the fees if you have proof that the property is truly a rental. If the fees are for painting and cleaning you can deduct them as an expense of doing the rental business. You will be limited to a 14 day rental period if you do not plan on paying taxes on the property. If you do claim the property as a rental you must stay in the property for a minimum of 14 days each tax year and you must divide the expenses between personal and business use.
The IRS looks at the timeshare similar to homeownership. Most of the costs of the timeshare are because of maintenance of the property. The IRS considers this a not a qualifying deduction. Even if some of the fees are for a one-time project that builds a new sewer system, you cannot count them as a write off on your personal income tax return. If you took out a mortgage on the timeshare and you are paying interest and taxes you will be able to claim them on your taxes. When you try to determine 'Are timeshare maintenance fees tax deductible?' you should talk to a tax preparer who is familiar with the IRS guidelines.
The association must list the fees and explain specifically which fees paid which expense. If the fees paid taxes, then the association must identify them as such. If you want to take the interest and tax deduction on the timeshare you should have the paperwork that identifies these amounts. One of the best ways to get a tax benefit of timeshare ownership is by donating the property to a charity. The charity will tell you the amount the property sold for and you can deduct the fair market value of the donation. If the property had not sold by the time your income tax return was due, you will have to estimate the value.
In order to claim any deductions on your personal income tax return you will have to be able to file IRS 1040, Schedule A, Itemized Deductions. As long as your total deductions exceed the standard deduction allowed by the IRS code, you will qualify to itemize deductions. When you meet the IRS qualifications for deductions you can include your timeshare expenses that are allowable. 'Are timeshare maintenance fees tax deductible?' yes, only if they meet the IRS code requirements.

|Route 68 Photo Album
Leaving Monterey, the gently curving two-lane highway passes through a corridor of oak and pine trees and on into a sunny plateau with an unobstructed view of lined vistas, the route then rises abruptly to elevations of over 700 feet.
Departing this portion, a motorist is afforded a distant view of the Salina
Valley and the Gabilan mountain range. The last five miles of the drive offers
a magnificent stand of sycamores - Sycamore Flats - plus another change of scene
created by the bottom lands of El Toro Creek.

Kensington is preparing a budget for the next fiscal year with an increase in spending proposed for roads and streetlights.
The town of Kensington has proposed an operating budget of less than $1.8 million for the next fiscal year, which starts July 1.
The proposed total is up 6 percent from the current year's operating budget, which is almost $1.7 million.
The town also plans to spend $740,000 on capital improvement projects next year, up from this year's $370,000.
Part of the increase in the fiscal 2015 CIP budget is due to a street reconstruction and renovation program whose budget was increased from $210,000 in fiscal 2014 to $500,000 in fiscal 2015. A streetlight acquisition and replacement project also saw an increase, from $5,000 to $50,000.
Next year, officials have also recommended budgeting $35,000 for a roof and gutter replacement project at Town Hall.
The real property tax rate is proposed to remain the same at 13.6 cents for every $100 of assessed value.
The town of Kensington is home to more than 2,000 people and more than 900 businesses, according to its website, and maintains seven parks.
A public hearing on the proposed budget is scheduled during a Town Council meeting at 7 p.m. April 14. People also may submit comments to firstname.lastname@example.com.
More information about the budget is available at tok.md.gov/town-business/budget or by calling Town Hall at 301-949-2424.

New dean looks to make positive changes
Don't be surprised if you see a well-dressed woman in tennis shoes walking down Eighth Street each morning -- rain or shine.
For Jamie Comstock, Baker University's new vice president and dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, the walk is a chance to combine a workout into her daily commute.
"It's exactly one mile from my doorstep in FireTree to my office," Comstock said. "I was raised in a town of 3,000 people, and I'm committed to the idea of community. I wanted to be able to live in the place that I work and be involved."
It's probably good that Comstock wears her athletic shoes to the office, because since beginning her job July 1, she has hit the ground running.
With new organizational plans and a list of goals, Comstock is ready to tackle her first year at Baker. She will provide oversight for all academic programs, student academic services, the library, athletics and several administrative offices. In addition, she will serve as a member of the Administrative Council.
Previously, Comstock served as interim dean at the School of Professional Studies at St. Louis University. She has worked as director of academic programs at the school for the past three years. She served for eight years as director of the Organizational Communication Program and Leadership Skills Minor at the University of West Florida, where she also was a tenured faculty member in the Communication Arts Department. She earned her Doctorate of Philosophy in Communication from the University of Arizona and master's and bachelor's degrees from Illinois State University.
"We are very pleased to have found such a qualified person," said Baker President Daniel Lambert. "With Dr. Comstock's energy and vision, I'm confident she will help lead the college in a positive direction. Her strong academic background provides an anchor for the quality programs we offer at Baker."
Comstock's first order of business was reorganizing the Dean's Office, Learning Resource Center and Registrar's office, hiring a new associate dean for faculty and academic administrative services and an assistant dean for student academic services. Comstock said her goal was to decentralize decision making and allow for more involvement of others in processes that lead to policy and procedure changes.
"As a result of this decentralization, students will see an increase in the quality of student services," she said. "Our goal is to provide the academic programs, instructional support and experimental learning opportunities that foster student progress and make them ready for success upon graduation. We will redesign as needed to make progress toward this goal."
The associate dean will be responsible for institutional research, interdisciplinary academic programs, across-the-curriculum initiatives, faculty development and student outcomes assessment.
The new assistant dean will oversee the Office of Records and Registration and the Learning Resource Center, coordinate the production of the University catalog and serve as the campus contact for a number of government compliance issues.
One of Comstock's more encompassing goals is to create a Planning Council made up of faculty, staff and students that will establish a vision for the college and create a plan to move toward that vision.
"Our new vision and positioning statement will illuminate the distinctions of a Baker University education and the type of students best served by what we have to offer," she said. "Once we make these important clarifications, then we can provide the programs and student support that will attract and retain students."
Comstock is passionate about Baker and targeted the school in her initial job search. She was looking for a United Methodist school with a strong academic tradition located in a small community. After a little digging, she found Baker was at the top of her list.
"It was like magic in the interview. I could tell in the beginning it was a good fit," she said. "We all want to build upon the strong Baker foundation and take the College of Arts and Sciences to the next level. I'm prepared to do all I can to invigorate the college in a way that gains widespread support from faculty, staff, students and alumni."
Although the demands of being dean are more than an 9-to-5 job, Comstock said she hopes once she is settled to become more involved in the daily life of Baldwin City.
"I'd like to be able to actively participate in my church and get involved with the arts in the community," she said. "I really feel it's important to be part of a community."

Starbucks' mobile payment app sees explosive growth
Millions of people have made purchases at Starbucks using just their smartphones, the coffee mega-retailer said.
That announcement was made at the company's March 23 shareholder meeting, according to multiple reports, and is perhaps our strongest indication yet of people's appetites for using mobile payments to buy everyday items. But it's just the latest example of the continued mainstreaming of mobile payments.
More than 3 million people have paid using Starbucks Card Mobile. The app, available on iPhones and other smartphones, was tested in a few stores late last year, but was rolled out to nearly 7,000 stores in January. It allows you to call up your Starbucks card's barcode and scan it to pay for your grande chai latte. The cost of your purchase is then deducted from your card account, and your new balance is shown.
Here's a demonstration of how it works:
Earlier in March, Square -- a small device which turns any mobile phone or tablet into a credit card reader -- said it is now processing more than $1 million a day in mobile payments. Square founder Jack Dorsey tweeted the news just days after the company said it would drop the 15-cent-per-transaction charge for businesses that use the service. That move, along with the continuing meteoric growth of smartphones throughout the country, bodes well for the device which can allow everyone from a giant retailer to a person running a garage sale at their house to accept credit cards. (Want to know how it works? Our video, "How to accept credit cards at your next garage sale," walks you through how to use Square.)
However, Square isn't the only company offering those services, which CreditCards.com Editor-in-Chief Dan Ray found out firsthand this month at the South by Southwest Interactive (SXSWi) conference here in Austin, Texas. Intuit has a similar product called GoPayment and enlisted pedicab drivers, food truck owners and others in Austin to help get the word out during the huge tech conference.
It all added up to Dan getting a free ride from Spike, the pedicab driver. (You can meet Spike in the video below.) The catch: Dan had to follow @gopayment on Twitter to get a so-called "magic word," and then tweet about the ride afterward.
Dan described his experience this way:
"Spike, the pedicab driver, used the GoPayment device plugged into the top of his iPhone to earn $10 for giving me a five-minute ride from the convention center to the Sheraton. I had to say the magic word -- 'Giddyup' -- and then tweet '@gopayment thanks for the ride, Spike' so there was a tweet with his name in it. Then he swiped a special card in the Intuit device, and said, 'Cool, I just made 10 bucks.'"
While this pedicab stunt ended with the close of SXSWi, the rapid growth of mobile payments is showing no signs of slowing down. New payment options are rolling out on a daily basis. Financial institutions are turning much more of their focus to mobile payments. Companies from Google to Apple to Visa and beyond are reportedly plotting their next moves regarding mobile payments as smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices keep flying off the shelves.
Add it all up and one thing's clear: Soon, paying with your mobile device at restaurants, retailers, garage sales and even pedicabs will be no more unusual than starting the day off with a cup of coffee.

Spike was cool. And just so you know I'm not a total geek and jerk, I did tip him. Old-fashioned cash.
Dirk said:
Why didn't you just tip him using the app? Do they not have they capability?
Dan Ray said:
To be honest, Dirk, I don't know if the app can handle tips or not. The ride was a freebie from Intuit, and Spike rang that up on a special card Intuit had provided him. For me to tip him using the app, Spike would have had to get my personal credit or debit card, swipe it, enter the amount, re-connect with the system.
JoeB said:
It took much too long to complete that mobile app payment. The lines at Starbucks are long enough. I hate to be behind several people using this method.
...does anyone know why Starbucks has stopped printing the last four digits of its customers credit card on the receipts. As far as I know Starbucks is the only merchant I've dealt with who fails to include those four digits.

daco seal of approval :P
Added some new parts to the guide. The list of hacks and the description needs an update, some hacks don't even belong to priiloader.
Also, added more to the faq and added instructions in case for some reason you want to remove priiloader
More to come...
daco seal of approval :P
I followed a suggestion by Daco and rearranged the hacks_hash.ini a little bit
The most usual hacks are placed first and in a logical order .Check it out Download hacks_hash.ini from Sendspace.com - send big files the easy way
Also..funny thing i've noticed , i enabled my hacks with the initial hacks_hash.ini , rearranged them them popped the SD again . Nothing was enabled or disabled like before . I had online updates disabled but remove diagnostic check enabled , etc..
I think the Priiloader showed them as enabled or disabled by judging from their order in the ini , and not their name.
On a 4.3 there's Region Free Everything but also Region Free GC Games,Region Free Wii Games,Region Free Channels . If i enable Region Free Everything the other 3 should change to enabled , right ? Why did you decide to split it into Region Free GC , Wii and Channels ? Everything was just fine .
because older hacks had them split. i just ported them and looked what SM they were compatible with. in the end you got what you have (some hacks merged and a split versions as well).
also, is that ini the svn version but re-arranged? if so; ill commit it to svn :-)
Added color to the spoilers, they look nice lol
Added more info
Again... more to come
So v0.7 is recommended over 0.6 now? Any reason to upgrade, or are the changes not that important? Just install on top of the previous version you have, and reset the hacks? Any risk in replacing this version with previous versions? Just curious, and I'm sure others are too. Thanks.
Would its work on Wasabi DX 3.0 on 4.3E? Thanks

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The stage was set for overtime when North Florida's Beau Beech stepped to the free throw line for three shots.
His team was trailing East Tennessee State by three points and there was less than a second on the clock.
Beech, an 85-percent free throw shooter, missed the first one. Then he missed the second. It was anticlimactic when he intentionally missed the third hoping for some kind of miracle rebound.
The result was an 88-85 ETSU victory Saturday night at UNF Arena, one that put the Bucs back into a tie for third place in the Atlantic Sun Conference.
The wild finish capped a game in which Rashawn Rembert broke the school record for 3-pointers in a season. But the Bucs weren't celebrating very hard. At halftime, forward Hunter Harris found out that his father had died.
"It's a good win for us, but we leave here with heavy hearts," ETSU coach Murry Bartow said, fighting back tears. "The team knew about it and we weren't sure if he wanted to play the second half, and he said he did."
Harris continued to play and scored 12 of his 18 points in the second half before fouling out.
Jalen Riley's two free throws with 3.2 seconds left broke an 85-85 tie. Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard then stole a long inbounds pass and was fouled with 1.2 seconds left. He made one free throw, giving the Ospreys one last chance.
They almost pulled it off. Travis Wallace caught another long inbounds pass and made a quick dish to Beech far out on the right wing. Gadsden-Gilliard charged at him and hit him just after he shot, giving the sharpshooter three free throws.
"I knew he's a great shooter and he can make them from far out," Gadsden-Gilliard said. "I was trying not to let him get a good shot, but I got a little too aggressive and made a bonehead play. Lucky it worked out for us. I was shocked when he missed."
Beech had made his only other two free throws earlier in the game.
"You expect them to make those things," North Florida coach Matthew Driscoll said.
The Bucs improved to 17-13 overall, 10-7 in the A-Sun. They thought they'd clinch a home game in the conference tournament with a win on Saturday, but they learned there is one complicated scenario that includes multiple ties for third or fourth that could drop them to the No. 5 seed based on tiebreakers.
ETSU went 12 for 21 on 3-pointers and didn't make a two-point basket over the final nine minutes, relying on four 3-pointers and eight free throws for their final 20 points.
Rembert's record came with 9:12 left in the game when he took a pass from Petey McClain, used a head fake to get open, and swished a shot from the right wing. It was his 87th 3-pointer of the season, breaking Courtney Pigram's record set in 2006-07.
Rembert then celebrated 12 seconds later by stealing the inbounds pass and laying down an emphatic one-handed dunk while being fouled, a play that even amazed himself. After he came back down to the court, he momentarily stared into the increasingly rowdy student section before converting the thee-point play.
"After I hit it, I thought about it, 'I just broke the record,'" Rembert said. "And coach was yelling, 'Get back, get back.' I just slapped it and the dude didn't run after it and it was showtime."
The sudden six-point spurt put the Bucs up 68-61.
"I think my teammates wanted me to get the record as much as I did," Rembert said. "It's a relief."
Rembert tied the record in an unlikely fashion when he banked in a long 3-pointer with 8:04 left in the first half. He finished 4 for 7 on 3-pointers with 18 points after going 1 for 9 in the last game.
He now has 88 3-pointers this season.
"He deserves it," Bartow said. "Nobody on our team works harder than Rashawn."
Riley led the Bucs with 19 points, making all nine of his free throws. He also led the team with five assists. Lester Wilson had another solid shooting night, going 5 for 8 from the field — 3 for 6 on 3-pointers — and scoring 15 points. He only took one shot after halftime.
Gadsden-Gilliard wound up with 16 points, making all three of his 3-pointers, including two big ones late in the game.
ETSU committed seven turnovers. Nobody had more than one.
North Florida (14-15, 8-8) was led by Wallace's 19 points. Dallas Moore added 18 and Beech had 11. The Ospreys out-rebounded ETSU 39-33.
"It was, unfortunately, one of those really good basketball games that if you were sitting in the stands, you'd really enjoy watching," Driscoll said.
Since becoming an NCAA Division I member nine years ago, North Florida is 24-3 when it scores 80 points or more. All three losses have been to ETSU.
The Bucs close the regular season on Friday at USC Upstate in a game that could be for third place.comments powered by Disqus

CCISD board-member committee appointed to review naming submissions for Southside high school
CORPUS CHRISTI - Corpus Christi ISD Board President Carol Scott said Monday she has appointed a committee of board members to review naming submissions for the new Southside high school.
Board policy calls for trustees to name new school facilities, which typically carry the namesake of a subdivision or area where they are located or the namesake of an influential person whose served at the local, state or national level.
Superintendent Scott Elliff soon will begin to accept suggestions for naming the school, which is set to open in August 2015.
Some audience members during Monday's board meeting said informally whom they wish the new school to be named after, but no members of the audience spoke during the public comment portion.
The district will post information on its website about submitting suggestions by the end of the week, Elliff said.
An earlier version of this story incorrectly reported the status of the committee. Carol Scott has already appointed the committee members.

Taking steps against hunger
A guest column on these pages Saturday by Joe Moran cited statistics that should be deeply troubling to anyone reading it.
One in eight people on this planet – 870 million people – do not have enough to eat, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization.
"In our own country the U.S. Department of Agriculture defines nearly 50 million Americans as 'food insecure,' or living in 'food deserts' within the U.S.," Moran wrote. "This figure is corroborated by the Bread for the World Institute.
"A 2011 UNICEF report found that 2.6 million children under the age of 5 die every year due to under-nutrition."
Those numbers are so staggering there is a danger of being both numbed and paralyzed by them. The scope of the problem is too great to comprehend. And what can we possibly do as individuals to chip away at – much less eliminate – such widespread hunger.
It is also easy to be oblivious to those numbers, in a society where for so many of us hunger as a health problem has been overwhelmed by that scourge of modern American life – obesity. Inexpensive – if not always healthy – calories abound.
But that's not true for everyone in our own city, as we know, and certainly not worldwide. In vast stretches of the world, death from malnutrition or diseases that easily overwhelm immune systems weakened by hunger is all too commonplace.
The event Moran's column previewed – and which Moran has worked so tirelessly for years to help organize – is the World Hunger CROP Walk. It's coming up Sunday, starting at 2:30 p.m. at the Duke Chapel on Duke University's West Campus.
The 4.8-mile walk, in its 39th year, is a testimony to the impact that many individuals acting in concert can have. In last year's event, more than 1,200 walkers raised $150,083, according to the event's website (http://www.durhamcropwalk.org/)
This year, organizers hope more than 2,000 walkers will raise $180,000 "changing the lives of hungry people in Durham and around our world."
The point about changing lives in Durham is important – some money raised each year stays in this community. Last year, the CROP Walk distributed $37,561 to Durham charities including Changing a Generation Outreach Ministries, Food Bank of Central and Eastern NC, Genesis Home, Housing for New Hope, Interfaith Hospitality Network, Meals on Wheels, Mt. Calvary UCC Food Pantry, Society of St, Andrew, Threshold, Urban Ministries of Durham, and YO:Durham.
The walk, the website notes, also serves to "celebrate the diversity and generosity of the Durham community."
As a community, we are proud of those attributes. Sunday's walk will be an excellent opportunity to display them, and to make a small but meaningful assault on those staggering statistics on how many of our fellow human beings go to bed hungry every night.

White's actions were a little bit ironic considering he was once a football player at the University of Alabama.
"These guys, they work in the summer months, in the Fall and in the Spring. There's a lot of work involved to win this trophy, " White said while holding the Championship hardware Friday.
All that hard work turned into a State Championship and the Rattlers couldn't be happier.

This fiery snack gets its heat from two rockin' roots. The first, wasabi (also known as Japanese horseradish), is best known as the ubiquitous green glob beside sushi, and it pack a powerful punch to the taste buds. The second, candied ginger, is a spice that goes from mild to wild. The two come together here as a wickedly wonderful pair.–Patrick Evans-Hylton
LC Wacky Heat and Sweet Note
Some folk swoon to this crazy melding of heat and sweet in this wasabi-ginger popcorn. Others, um, not so much. There's only one way to find out! And we have yet to figure out a way to ensure the bits of candied ginger and wasabi peas remain evenly distributed, aside from first divvying the popcorn up into individual bowls and then simply sprinkling the chopped bits of heat and sweet on top. We're open to suggestions.
Wasabi and Ginger Popcorn Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Makes 12 to 16 cups
- 3 to 4 quarts freshly popped corn, from a popcorn maker
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons wasabi paste
- 1/4 cup candied ginger, finely chopped (to steer clear of a sticky situation, dip a paper towel in a little olive oil and swipe the blade of the knife with it every few chops)
- 1/2 cup wasabi-flavored fried peas (optional)
- 1. Place the popcorn in a large, clean paper bag or a large pot. In a small bowl, combine the salt, sugar, and sesame seeds. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and wasabi until fully incorporated. Stir in the ginger and peas, if using.
- 2. Drizzle the butter mixture over the popcorn, fold over the top of the bag or cover the pot with a lid, and shake until the popcorn is coated. Sprinkle the salt mixture over the popcorn and shake a few times again to coat. Serve immediately.

HandlesRSS Feed
A huge range of door handles but painstakenly seperated out to accommodate latch handles, lever handles, ball handles and handles for locks...... all in order to make it an easy and pleasant way to browse.
All Door handle fitting should be carefully considered when dealing with certain types of door handle, it really is important to make sure you buy a lock with a keyhole if you are fitting a "sash" type lock, sash locks have a latch and a security lock bolt combined whereas "dead" locks have a security lock bolt and are primarily used on front doors where you may only need a fixed pull handle.
Door handles, internal, we recommend ball type door handles are only fitted to doors with a middle rail such as the panel doors or doors with half glass which will then allow you to fit a longer latch (95mm), this will in turn allow your door handle to be as far away from the door edge as possible, if you use the smaller latches (65 or 75mm) with ball type door handles you run the risk of catching the back of your hand when closing the door.
Door handles, internal, doors with glass; it is normally best to fit lever type door handles to this type of door, this will avoid a ball type door handle overlapping the edges of the door nearest the glass or indeed breaking the glass when attempting to fix the wrong type of door handles with the wrong type of lock or latch.
Louvre and Bi-fold, door handles, bolt through pull door handles or face fix door handles are the only type that suit louvre or Bi-fold doors.
We recommend the use of lever type door handles (not ball type door handles) if the user has any hand or arm disability.
Wooden door, door handles, external, we recommend using bolt through single pull type external door handles such as the M33 exterior door handles, M60 external door handles, M49 external door handles etc when the door has projecting mouldings, remember that these external door handles are not suitable for use with a Mortice Sash Lock (the type of lock with a latch) and are most suitable with a Mortice Dead Lock and Yale lock.
The rear doors to a house are normally best fitted with a Mortice Sash Lock to allow you easy access to the garden; there is a large selection of exterior door handles, lever/lock type which suit this type of lock.
We can fit a multi point lock systems with external door handles, this system is suitable for most external door sets, the door comes with a frame and is hinged ready for you to fit to the prepared opening.
There is a huge range of external door handles available, we can supply external door handles in Aluminium, Stainless Steel, Chrome Plated, Satin Chrome, Polished Brass, Black, White, Porcelain, Glass and also door handles that comprise a mixture of metal finishes. There are face fix handles, bolt through handles, lever latch handles, lever/lock handles, bathroom handles and ball handles, Just ask!
Most handles are available in Polished Brass Satin Chrome or Chrome Plated. V.A.T. at the current rate is included on all prices, if items which are marked as stock are subsequently found to be out of stock please allow 7 - 10 days for delivery.

Comments about Halo Headband Halo II Headband:
This is my 4th Halo Headband. Each lasted about 6 months and then the gutter becomes brittle and cracks compromising the effectiveness of channeling the sweat. It fits nicely under my helmet. If you don't mind annual replacement, then go for it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love it!
By Old Fat Guy with Legs
from Greenville, SC
Got this for the sweat stopper band. It works! I also have the model with the neck sunshade. On really hot and humid days I wear them both--the one with the shade goes on first, with its sweatstopper band positioned midway down my forehead. Then I put this one on over it, with the band just above my eyebrows. Any sweat that runs past the first (and remember, sweat can run OVER the sweatstopper band once the whole band is saturated) gets stopped by the second. At least until IT gets saturated too--which can happen on a mountain climb in 95 degrees and 60% humidity! In that case, I wear a double-layer of moisture wicking fabric, doubled over at the headband, on top of everything else. So far I haven't sweated through that whole arrangement.
A savior in the south Florida humidity

About Me Competitive Cyclist
This is the second one I've bought. Last one stayed in good shape for a few years. Works better than other solutions and doesn't add bulk under the helmet. A little sweat might make it through but only during the hottest, most humid days in south Florida. Hard to ask for more when it's 90+ degrees and 90% relative humidity!

Halo makes for better ride
By horsefly

Waiting on weather to improve so I can hit the road with my new MASI road bike
It works but
By ptb
from MI
Seems silly but when reading a review about skull caps and head bands one reviewer stated the "Halo" brand works well but leaves a thin band on your forehead; I chuckled to myself thinking... how vain. She was correct a thin band is implanted on your forehead after every ride long or short using the Halo. Normally I would / do not care however, after one particular ride I had a gathering to attend and even after one to two hours I was sporting this thin 1/2" indentation on my forehead.The Head Sweat Cap leaves an imprint too from the extra fabric at the forehead section of the cap but it is very slight and goes away in less than one hour.When I need more skull caps or head bands "Headsweats" will be what I buy! Oh and they work perfectly no sweat in eyes or running onto my shades. A++++
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
function and affordability
By Chen
from Ocala, Florida
Finally, a product that does what it advertizes! I wear contact lens, and the worst enemy of a great ride is sweat in your eyes and contacts. with the "Halo" that is no longer an issue!!!

Works great; watch the forehead crease
By treedweeb
from Louisville KY
Keeps sweat out of your eyes during warm rides. It doesn't absorb quite as much as some others but the rubber gutter strip does a good job of directing perspiration to the temples where it stays out of your eyes. Be aware that it leaves a pretty good crease in your forehead after a ride so a pre-work ride will get you to the office with a conversation starter.
Good quality prouct
By Senior cyclist

I have had a Halo for several years and was pleasedwith the durability and comfort of this product.So, I purchased a second Halo so I can always haveone available.
Great product

I use these both at the gym and when biking. They fit easily under my helmet, and work perfectly. No more sweat in my eyes.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The Land of Israel is a special, sacred place for those who believe in the Bible. Like the ingathering of the Jewish people into the land of Israel, the restoration of the land itself is the unfolding of prophecy.
When Israel's restoration began, the land was largely barren. Today it is fully of lush green forests lovingly planted by the Jewish National Fund. There is still much work to do. What better way to participate in the restoration of the Land of Israel than by planting a tree.
Partner with the JNF to complete the reforestation of the Promised Land.
Groups of Jews from Latin America plant trees in Israel, after visiting the sites where their people were murdered during the Holocaust in Poland. First they saw how the Nazis tried to destroy the life of the Jewish people, and then they flew to Israel to plant trees and celebrate Israel Independence Day with crowds of Israelis.

"A feast for the eyes and balm for the soul." —Télérama
Hassan Massoudy's elegant calligraphy depicts the four seasons of the garden. From the icy palettes of winter to delicate spring growth, and from the dazzling sunshine and blooms of summer through the fading hues of autumn, he captures in calligraphy what countless poets have crafted with words.
The proverb or quotation that inspired each artwork is handwritten in Arabic by Massoudy alongside the English texts on the facing page.
