Meaning & Origins
Of Celtic origin. King Arthur was a British king of the 5th or 6th century, about whom virtually no historical facts are known. He ruled in Britain after the collapse of the Roman Empire and before the coming of the Germanic tribes, and a vast body of legends grew up around him in the literatures of medieval Western Europe. His name is first found in the Latinized form Artorius; it is of obscure etymology. The spelling with -th- was popular among the gentry families of West Yorkshire in the late 1400s, even before Henry VII, who may have hoped to capitalize on the legend, gave the name to his son. It remained in regular use in some areas and its popularity exploded in the early 19th century, largely as a result of the fame of Arthur Wellesley (1769–1852), Duke of Wellington, the victor at the Battle of Waterloo and subsequently prime minister. Further influences were Tennyson's Idylls of the King (1859–85), and the widespread Victorian interest, especially among the Pre-Raphaelites, in things medieval in general and in Arthurian legend in particular.
|175th in the U.S.
Italian: of uncertain derivation; possibly a topographic name from da via 'from the street', in some cases misdivided as D'Avia.

progressive bulbar palsy
You have 3 open access pages left.UK healthcare workers and students can get FREE subscriptions... click here.
Bulbar palsy results from bilateral impairment of function of the IXth, Xth and XIIth cranial nerves. This gives rise to dysarthria, dysphagia (often with choking episodes and nasal regurgitation of fluids), dysphonia and poor cough, and susceptibility to aspiration pneumonia. The lowermost part of VII may, infrequently, be involved.
The disturbance is of the motor nuclei rather than of the corticobulbar tracts. It is distinguished from pseudobulbar palsy by the presence of lower motor neurone signs. Autonomic features are uncommon.

A method and apparatus for printing a redundant code on an elongate article are disclosed. The apparatus includes an ink unit, at least one printing head and a controller. The printing head includes two, or three, valves, controlled by the controller. As the elongate article passes through a printing station, the controller selectively actuates the valves to release ink, and thus print the code. The two valves are preferably aligned and laterally spaced from each other in order to print the same code twice on the article.
1. An apparatus for printing a code on elongate articles passing through a printing station in a longitudinal direction, said apparatus comprising:
an ink unit for storing ink to be delivered;
at least one printing head, said printing head being operatively connected to said ink unit, said printing head including at least two valves, said valves being laterally spaced from each other; and
a controller for controlling said ink unit and said at least one printing head, so that said controller is adapted to actuate said valves in order to print a longitudinally oriented code on each at least one lateral surface of said elongate articles as said articles pass through said printing station, said code being printed at least twice on each of said elongate articles and said code being unique to each of said elongate articles.
2. An apparatus according to
3. An apparatus according to
4. An apparatus according to
5. An apparatus according to
6. An apparatus according to
7. An apparatus according to
The present invention relates to a system and method for printing a code on an elongate article, particularly a piece of wood, and the code so printed.
Recently, there have been developments in the field of wood processing in order to automate the various processes involved therein. More particularly, it has become more prevalent to optimize planers, and to automate wood grading stations.
In this context, automatic grading systems using linear scanner need a method to identify each board and retrieve board data down the line on the lug chain. Previously, when a board is scanned, an identification code is printed on the board, which is read later on the lug chain with a machine adapted to read the code, the code is then used to retrieved the grading decision previously saved.
One of the disadvantages of such systems is that the code so printed on the piece of wood takes up too much space, or is printed with a large quantity of ink. This results in an unsightly mark, which will not come off. Alternative embodiments have used UV ink to print the code, but the UV ink has a tendency to fade to yellow in time, again resulting in unsightliness.
Finally, since the code must be printed on the piece of wood at high speeds, it can result it sloppy marks, which are unreadable by the code reading apparatus.
It is an object of the invention to provide a method and apparatus for marking a piece of wood which obviates the disadvantages of the prior art mentioned above. It is also an object of the invention to provide a code which is discreet, and which is redundant, increasing the accuracy of the reading apparatus.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, this object is achieved with an apparatus for printing a code on an elongate article passing through a printing station, said article passing through said station in a longitudinal direction, said apparatus comprising:
In accordance with another object of the invention, there is provided a method for printing a redundant code on an elongate article as said elongate article passes through a printing station, comprising the steps of:
In accordance with yet another object of the invention, this object is achieved with a code to be printed on a piece of wood, said code comprising a longitudinal area within which a plurality of lines may or may not be printed. Furthermore, the code is preferably printed at least twice simultaneously, the at least two codes being laterally spaced from each other, to provide redundancy.
The present invention will be better understood after reading a description of a preferred embodiment thereof, made in reference to the following drawings in which:
Referring now to
As mentioned in the prior art, printing a code on an elongate article has been done previously. However, the codes so printed are generally large, and there has not been previously a motivation to print a redundant code on the article. However, with an increase in speed of wood processing plants, and with an increase in the unreadability of the previous codes, there is now a need to provide a system and apparatus for printing a redundant code on a elongate article which obviates the prior art deficiencies mentioned above.
Thus, the system 10 of the present invention comprises an ink unit 11, at least one printing head 13 and a controller 15.
The ink unit 11, in a preferred embodiment, includes an ink reservoir 21, preferably of the type "bag-in-box". Other components include a return valve 23, filter 25, pump 27, air eliminator 29, bleeding valve 31 associated with reservoir 33, pressure transducer 35, pressure reservoir 37 and main valve 39, all interconnected in the usual manner. A person skilled in the art will appreciate that the above description is for a standard printing circuit, and that variations are well within the scope of the present invention.
The printing head 13 includes a filter 41 and at least two, preferably three, valves 43. In a preferred embodiment, the valves 43 are micro-valves, which are adapted to open and close rapidly, spraying droplets of ink. The valves are also preferably aligned with each other, and laterally spaced apart.
A controller 15 controls all of the elements of the ink unit 11, and the printing head 13.
The code that is to be printed takes up a predetermined length (footprint) on the piece of wood. The code word is comprised of a plurality of "bits", which may be on (presence of the bit) or off (absence of the bit). In a preferred embodiment, each bit is a longitudinal line, preferably printed with UV ink. The bits are printed by the controller sending a signal to the valves to open for a predetermined amount of time. In the context of processing wood in a wood processing plant, the valves are only open for a few microseconds. However, given the speed at which the wood travels, this results in each bit being approximately 1 cm long. The footprint of the code is approximately 25 cm, leaving sufficient time (or space) between successive bits that there would not be confusion between two successive "on" bits.
The code word according to a preferred embodiment of the invention is comprised of ten bits. However, it will be appreciated that more or less bits may also fulfill the objects of the present invention, according to the needs of the particular user.
As mentioned previously, and as shown in
Referring now to
The ink used for the apparatus is preferably UV as mentioned previously. Furthermore, advantageous characteristics of the ink include fast drying, so that less ink is required, and the ink must be adapted to be readable on wood.
In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the apparatus of the present invention comprises two print heads.
The second print head is useful to mark square boards, i.e. boards that have tendency to rotate 90 degrees, in which situation the printed mark stays on the side and cannot be detected by the code reader. The second print head is preferably mounted at a 90 degrees angle from the first print head, that is oriented to print the code on another lateral surface of the board. This embodiment is better shown in
Although the present invention has been explained hereinabove by way of a preferred embodiment thereof, it should be pointed out that any modifications to this preferred embodiment within the scope of the appended claims is not deemed to alter or change the nature and scope of the present invention.

James B. Edwards Elementary School of Global Leadership recently hosted more than 200 visitors for the "Leader in Me Symposium," presented by the Covey Foundation. The guests, business leaders and educators from across the state made classroom visits and watched presentations from each grade level. The event was 100 percent led by the students of the global leadership school.
James B. Edwards (JBE) is a partial magnet school with an emphasis on leadership as well as a global component with all students enrolled in Spanish classes. Since becoming a global leadership school, parents have seen a change in their students. Nicky Purves says, "I have found my sons to be more aware of their actions at home, and I have seen an improvement in their interactions with others. They have learned to take responsibility for themselves at a young age."
The Leader in Me program is a global movement in education that has now reached 1,300 communities across the world. This work is focused on instilling leadership as a vital component in education. Attendees witnessed how students of JBE have integrated Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective Leaders into the curriculum and into the school design. Students led tours of the school and ended with a question and answer session. When fourth-grader Gil Shaw was asked her favorite habit, she responded, "They are all equally important because if you use all of them together it makes you the best leader you can be." Kindergartner Donnell Rouse responded, "I like to put first things first. I do my homework and then go outside and play."
James B Edwards is currently scheduling tours for those interested in attending the partial magnet school. For more information, call 843-849-2805.

MySQL: Followup on UNION for query optimization, Query profiling
Few days ago I wrote an article about using UNION to implement loose index scan. First I should mention double IN also works same way so you do not have to use the union. So changing query to:

| name |

A Seneca, SC couple is behind bars in Hart County after a massive manhunt Tuesday afternoon spearheaded by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms.
Hart County Sheriff Mike Cleveland said his office received notice from the ATF's Macon office that 29-year old Brandon Wayne Arnold and 25-year old Heather Elaine Frankum may be in the area.
"We got a call from the ATF and gave us a heads up on what kind of vehicle they were in and why they might be in the area," Cleveland said. "They also said they had search warrants and were conducting searches in the area."
According to Cleveland, Arnold was wanted by the ATF for the illegal sale and trafficking of firearms.
Cleveland said the pair was trying to get to a house owned by Frankum's family in Hart County.
Sheriff Mike Cleveland said the couple ditched the white van they were driving in the area of Doyle Road and got out on foot and ran.
That's when he said he and another deputy received information from witnesses that the pair had run into some cow pastures.
Once he realized where they might be hiding, Cleveland called in the Georgia State Patrol's helicopter, with a heat-seeking device, for help.
"The screen on the heat seeking device shows the outline of the person. He was lying down in a ravine and she was hiding in an old deer stand," Cleveland said.
So far, the ATF has not released the exact charges against Arnold.
Frankum is charged in Hart County with obstruction of law enforcement.
Arnold was picked up by agents with the ATF's Macon office yesterday.

When I was ten weeks I was put on folic acid b6 and b12. I thought because I tested positive for lupus anticoagulant.
Today they are doing more blood work, this time checking my homocystein levels. and retesting to see if LA is still positive. To see if they want to put me on lovenox
I'm confused because I don't know what any of these things mean and if they are treating me correctly for them. Did anyone else have a positive LA, and abnormal homocysteine levels? what does it mean?

Regarding your profile of South Beauty Investment's Zhang Lan ("Beauty Offshore, A Caribbean Passport for a Chinese Restaurateur"), who renounced her Chinese citizenship as a business strategy: Obviously she weighed success versus citizenship. Although she may receive criticism and comes off as somewhat shallow by moving her citizenship to an offshore island that she seems to despise, no one is questioning her drive and the success she's already made for herself. It's encouraging to see a woman entrepreneur from China break through.
"If you do good deeds and carry out philanthropic activities, life is meaningful," says Chang Yung-Fa at the end of your profile of him and his charitable activities ("Morality Play–Chang Yung-Fa Fosters A Culture Of Doing The Right Thing"). These are impressive and touching words from an 80-year-old, highly successful businessman. As the chairman of Evergreen Group shipping company, Chang is well known for his kindness to his employees, apart from being a caring philanthropist. Fighting his way up to the pinnacle of wealth and power, he knows what poverty means, and he is determined to offer help wherever and whenever possible. Will there be more of his kind?
Regarding your profile of U.S. country music star Toby Keith in your Celebrity 100 list ("Toby Keith, Cowboy Capitalist: Country's $500 Million Man"): I've been fortunate enough to meet Toby three times. He's a very smart "dumb ol' country boy" who has an amazing natural business sense and understands what flyover America wants. And he gives them exactly that.
You place far too much importance on a celebrity's "social media presence" in these Celebrity 100 rankings. Many celebs don't do social media–why should they? It certainly won't help their stardom, as they're already stars. And it might actually hurt them. But counting it so strongly in your rankings means that some of the most successful, powerful stars in the world–like Robert Downey Jr., who doesn't tweet and just recently started on Facebook Facebook (but, like many others, has a p.r. person or firm Facebooking for him)–are ranked lower than lesser stars. Many celebrities' p.r. counsels tell them not to engage in social media–it's not smart, it's not needed, and it benefits them nothing. Because of all this, you should erase social media from your ranking criteria. It unfairly skews everything and makes your rankings less trustworthy.

The Nati Frinj is a three day biennial festival drawing on the talents of artists and community support from the small Western Victorian (Wimmera) town of Natimuk. The Nati Frinj is run by ACT Natimuk and a group of dedicated volunteers.
The 2015 Frinj will be on Friday 30th to Monday the 2nd November (<CLICK HERE or below on image or on menu above for 2015 Frinj).
Program to come.
The Frinj has been running since 2000 and has forged a reputation for making outstanding, innovative and often audacious art. The fact that this festival comes from such a small rural community is even more unusual.
Some Frinj projects, such as Space and Place, Highly Strung and this year's Art Pumping Action have been (and are) at the forefront of artistic creation in Australia. It showcases the talents of local artists, and invites other artists to come and play.
These projects have demonstrated the broad artistic skills and willingness to collaborate that is a feature of Natimuk's arts community.
As well a highlight projects, the Frinj program includes the community celebration of The Hay and Thespian Mardi Gras, an extensive music, visual and performing arts program, culinary experiences, subversive art attacks and dancing.
This website has links to previous Frinjs, historical background, and all that's happening.

My cat lives a pampered indoors-only existence. The only way she would ever come in contact with the great outdoors is if she accidentally escaped from the house, something I don't plan to let happen. This kind of lifestyle puts her at extremely low risk of contracting rabies – yet she's vaccinated against rabies and will continue to get her rabies shots lifelong.
Why vaccinate an animal (or a person, for that matter) against something that's unlikely ever to be a genuine threat to them? Because rabies is an awful disease, that's why, and I'm not willing to take even a minuscule risk.
There are any number of frightening zoonotic diseases, i.e. diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans, and rabies is one of them. In North America, the rabies virus is endemic in the wildlife population, primarily bats, skunks, raccoons, foxes and coyotes. It's generally transmitted through the saliva of an infected animal, namely through a bite.
Post-exposure vaccination will protect someone who's been bitten from the possibility of developing rabies. Taking the right steps after any kind of animal bite is critical, because when left untreated, the rabies virus attacks the central nervous system and is almost always fatal. Once rabies has been allowed to progress, there's no effective treatment for it other than supportive care.
I'd like to think most people wouldn't get close enough to a wild skunk or raccoon to risk getting bitten. Our pets are a whole different story, though. They live with us, hang out in the yard and play with the kids. Occasionally they wander afield and perhaps tangle with a rabies-infected critter – then come home, setting the stage for possibly transmitting the rabies virus to someone in the family.
Vaccination of pet cats and dogs is in fact an important public-health strategy for buffering the human species from the rabies virus among the wildlife population. In this sense, the Humane Society of Kandiyohi County didn't just do a good deed for animals this week by hosting a series of low-cost outreach vaccination clinics in Willmar; the neighborhood clinics also helped the community.
As scary as it is, rabies has become rare in the United States, among both pets and humans. As recently as 50 years ago, the majority of rabies cases among animals reported to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were among domestic animals. Now more than 90 percent occur within wildlife. At one time more than 100 Americans died of rabies each year. These days, with post-exposure vaccination available, it's extremely unusual for this to happen. The few human deaths from rabies that do occur tend to involve undetected bat bites, as was the case with a Minnesota resident in 2007 who ultimately died.
What has happened with rabies is one of the more compelling success stories in vaccination and prevention. Great Britain has gone one better by managing to eradicate rabies, even among its wildlife. It helps, of course, if you're an island nation – but internal policies and strict quarantines for imported animals also have played a critical role in controlling and preventing rabies in the U.K. When the Channel Tunnel, which links London with Paris and Brussels via high-speed rail, was constructed, Britons worried it would pave the way for rabies-carrying French rats to invade the country, a fear that so far has not materialized.
Rabies unfortunately remains a threat in the rest of the world, however, especially in developing countries where vaccination and surveillance are less prevalent.
When a vaccine-preventable disease isn't very common, it can be easy to assume it's not really a risk to us or to those around us. It can be easy to just skip vaccination altogether, using the rationale that it's not necessary. When you weigh the risk vs. the benefit, though, I wonder how many of us would truly be willing to gamble in this fashion, whether it's a rabies vaccination for our pets or a pertussis or Hib vaccination for our children. No matter how low the risk, many of the worst infectious diseases simply aren't worth taking a chance on.

ALAMANCE COUNTY, N.C. — Deputies are searching for a suspect who allegedly broke into a home on Monday afternoon, robbed the residents at gunpoint and killed one of them.
According to Alamance County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded shortly after 3:30 p.m. to reports of a home invasion at 5540 Lindley Mill Road.
Deputies say two people were in the home when the suspect broke through the front door and robbed the victims. The suspect then shot one of the residents before fleeing, deputies said.
Randy Jones with the Alamance County Sheriff's Office says it's rare for this type of crime to occur during daylight.
"Most of the time they are during the night or very early morning. It's very seldom that you have this type of crime, in my experience, in the middle of the day like this," Jones said.
Homeowners said they were shocked to see law enforcement all over their street.
"You wonder what's going on in your neighborhood around you. You worry about your kids," said Sherry Rudd, who lives on Jewell Road.
Rudd, who has four children, said the shooting makes her nervous.
"Oh, I will not sleep that well tonight just knowing something that close to home. It's scary," Rudd said.
The name of the victims have not been released.
Anyone with further information is asked to contact Crimestoppers at (336) 229-7100.

Elk decoying- a real testimonial
Sunday, November 20th, 2011 at 2:25 am
On November 17th 2011, we received a great gift! One of our Customers, Justin Jenness of Montana, sent us an e-mail, sharing his experiences last Season using the Elk Mountain Open Country Elk Decoy:
So I thought that I would write a product review for the SLIP system that I got this year. I had an amazing encounter with a massive bull, while bow hunting here in Montana.
I was hunting with a friend of mine, when we spotted 3 bulls bedded down on the edge of a timber patch that was surrounded by open sage brush country. We quickly closed the distance, and we able to get inside 100 yards of these bulls, and I set up with the slip system while my partner moved ahead of me. I began to call, and a bull immediately started to bugle. After sitting there for about 20 minutes my partner came back to me and said that he thought the elk had moved through the timber, so he decided that he would follow the elk while I hiked about 1/2 a mile to the top of the timber patch to see if the elk came out at a different place.
Once I got to the top of the hill I could hear a bull bugleing just down in the timber, so I once again set up my SLIP system and began to cow call. We played cat and mouse for a little bit, and I finally found myself on a little ridge with a small ravine in between the bull and myself. The bull had moved out into the open sage brush, and I was set up on the edge of the timber. Finally the bull came to his side of the coulee, and I ranged him at 80 yards. When the bull disapeered over the edge of the hill I moved the slip system out into the wide open and staked it in the ground, and I then ran down the coullee and made it half way up the other side when the bull came back to the ridge. The bull immediately locked onto the decoy, and was staring right over the top of me.
Now here comes the best part, and the worst part. I ranged the bull and he was 42 yards on the dot, and uphill from me. I drew my bow back, got a solid rest and let the arrow fly. To my disbelief the arrow sailed right over the top of the bulls back, he jumped a little bit and spun 180 degrees, never taking his eyes off the decoy. I once again ranged the bull and he was now 40 yards. I put my 40 yard pin dead center on his chest and let another arrow fly. Unbelievablely the arrow once again sailed right over the bulls back. I could not believe what was happening, and you might think I am lying but the bull just stood there and kept looking at the decoy. I again ranged the bull and he had not moved and was 40 yards on the money. This time I put my 40 yard pin on the bottom of his chest, got a solid rest and squeezed my release. The arrow flew true, and you would never believe it but I hit him right in the brisket!
It was just before dark so my partner and I backed out and decided to come back in the morning. After a sleepless night we went back and found some blood about 400 yards from where I shot the bull, and he bled only a little bit for about another 400 yards, and then the bleeding stopped. To my dismay we never found the bull, and I am sure that he is still alive and well. My partner guessed the bull at 350+ and I only knew that he was big. I shot my bow the next morning, and I hit the target dead on at 40 yards, so I am still trying to figure out where I went wrong.
The point of this story is that without the Elk Mountain SLIP system, there is no chance in hell that I would have ever been able to sling 3 arrows at a herd bull. This system without a doubt works, and will keep bulls interested even if a hunter makes a mistake. Even though I don't have the massive bull on the ground, I still can not thank Elk Mountain Inc. enough for producing such a great product. Thanks".
Justin Jenness
We want to thank Justin for such a great share, and hopefully, he will have a chance to avenge himself this Season, and have the kind of luck that another one of our customers, Lou Phillippe, has had the last couple of years using our gear! Please drop by our website, and place your orders for the SLIP System today!

We believe that a Scout should receive recognition for his achievements.Advancement sets a pattern of setting positive goals and reaching them throughout life. Even though it's not one of the primary aims of Scouting, advancement is a natural byproduct when your Scouting experience is acquainting you with the BSA ideals, the patrol method, the outdoors, association with adults, personal growth, leadership development, and the Scout uniform. It's easy to advance by following these four basic steps:
- Learning
- Testing
- Review
- Recognition
The requirements for the ranks of Tenderfoot through First Class prepare you to take full advantage of all that Scouting has to offer. Star, Life, and Eagle requirements focus on service to others and developing leadership skills.
Requirements for each rank are outlined in the Boy Scout Handbook. You can work on advancement requirements with your parents or other family members, with other Scouts and with adult Scout leaders. This can be done on your own, in patrol and troop meetings, and during other troop functions such as campouts. A good rule of thumb is to try to complete one or two rank requirements at each troop meeting.
Scout skills cannot be mastered by performing them just once. You will have many opportunities to practice each skill, and you will be thoroughly tested on each requirement before it is "signed off". In addition, expect to practice each skill repeatedly, even after it has been signed off. As you progress, you will also have opportunities to teach these skills to less experienced Scouts, which will further reinforce your knowledge and skill.
As you complete each requirement, you will be tested and signed off in the BACK section of your handbook (pp. 438 – 449) by the Scoutmaster or by someone he designates. This person may be an Assistant Scoutmaster, a Troop Committee Member, or another, more experienced, Scout. (In Boy Scouts troop leaders, rather than parents, sign off advancement requirements. In order to avoid the appearance of impropriety, in most troops, troop leaders will not normally sign off rank requirements for their own sons. Infrequent exceptions may be made in the case of a leader who is teaching skills to several Scouts at once at a patrol or troop meeting or other Scouting function, but every effort should be made to have another leader sign off the instructing leader's sons if possible.)
It's up to you to take advantage of the advancement opportunities available to you, and to take initiative to ask for someone to test you when you are ready. You are responsible for keeping your own personal advancement record in your handbook. You should also record your service hours, campouts, troop activities, and leadership positions in your handbook.
You must earn the ranks in order, but you may complete any requirement for Tenderfoot through First Class at any time. (For example, you may complete a First Class requirement before finishing your Tenderfoot requirements, but you must earn Tenderfoot rank before you are awarded Second Class and First Class ranks.)
You will be meeting regularly with the Scoutmaster to discuss your activity in the troop and your understanding and practice of the ideals of Scouting. This Scoutmaster conference is also used to discuss your goals and accomplishments and is required for each rank advancement.
You do not have to wait until you have completed the requirements for a rank in order to ask for a Scoutmaster conference. You may talk with the Scoutmaster at any time that is convenient to both of you. However, for a Scoutmaster conference to count toward rank advancement it must take place after all other requirements are complete and before the Board of Review. At this required conference the Scoutmaster will also help you determine whether or not you are ready to go before the Board of Review.

Gear Review
Kinda shiny
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I was so excited to get these pants because the fit looked great. However they were very long and had a huge flair. They were also a kinda strange glossy color that I didn't care for and couldn't see from the picture. I was advised to get a medium, I am 5'4" about 115 and these were way too big! Small would be too short though, returned!

Rail Bridge Back Over It's Tracks
8 months to the day after its collapse, the Dunedin Railway Station pedestrian bridge was put back together again.
Cranes inched the main section of the 104 year old bridge into place early yesterday morning.
The 14 tonne replacement sections were modelled on the original bridge by Zeal Steel at a cost of ($240 000)two hundred and forty thousand dollars.
The bridge is expected to reopen later this week once the safety netting has been installed and safety checks completed.
The DCC, Port Otago and the former Toll Holdings are still in negotiations over which party is liable for the incident.

Great price for this jacket. I was happy to have the option of having my name embroidered on the jacket. It washes and dries well but I am concerned about the knit cuffs which seem to be fraying. Hopefully, it will last for a while.
Loved It!! I'll buy more when funds permit
This jacket is very well made and washes and drys beautifully. I wish I had gotten a medium instead of a small. If you are thin but have long arms, get a medium.
Yes, I love the jacket. Great price! Great quality! Thanks for the super fast service as well!

Glass City Opry fertilizes local bluegrass sceneWritten by Sue Van Fleet | | email@example.com
Bluegrass music has a relatively new home in the Toledo area, and this month the welcome mat will be out for an up-and-coming national act familiar to many fans of the genre.
NewFound Road will perform March 10 at the Maumee Indoor Theater. The band is being brought to town by the Glass City Opry, a monthly bluegrass show that debuted in August.
"We wanted to be able to bring in regional and national acts," said Jeff Birdwell, who owns the venture with Sherri Chekal and Dave Russell. "There's a significant fan base for bluegrass in Toledo, but it's kind of underground because there's just not a lot of places for it."
Performances are always on the second Monday of the month at the Maumee Indoor Theater.
NewFound Road got its start as a gospel group, putting out two gospel albums before switching to mostly secular offerings. The albums "Somewhere Between" and "Life in a Song" followed. Even though they're no longer a gospel band, they were named Contemporary Gospel Group of the Year in 2006 and 2008 by the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America.
In a review for "Life in a Song," Acoustic Guitar magazine said it was easy to see the band as "the next big thing to hit mainstream bluegrass."
Guitarist and vocalist Tim Shelton said the band is at work on a third album that will be released this summer.
"I think it's going to be our strongest yet," said Shelton in a phone interview as he was driving home to Franklin, Ohio, after a nine-day gig in Canada and Buffalo, N.Y.
The other members of the group are Brandon Godman on fiddle, Joe Booher on mandolin, Junior Williams on banjo and Randy Barnes on bass.
The audience at the Maumee Indoor Theater can expect a mix of contemporary and traditional bluegrass, gospel and even a little acoustic country, Shelton said, adding that they'll probably play a song or two off the album they're working on.
"Our songs that have done well for us on radio would be considered contemporary bluegrass, but we definitely have a love and respect for the traditional stuff as well, and we'll include a lot of traditional stuff in our show," he said.
The band — and bluegrass itself — pulls its fans from a broad spectrum of the population, Shelton said.
"I've seen all kinds at our shows: young and old, wealthy and poor," he said. "It runs the gamut, and it's popular all over the country. … It's not just a bunch of rednecks that go out and listen to bluegrass."
Bluegrass fans in general aren't barflies, Birdwell said, which is why they wanted to create a venue where fans could come and listen.
"A lot of bluegrass fans are dedicated, diehard fans," Shelton said. "They'll drive an hour or two or four to come to a show."
While it's not uncommon to see people in their 20s enjoying the music at Glass City Opry events, the over-60 population is always well-represented, Birdwell said. He said they're hoping to bring in more young people by booking bands like NewFound Road.
"Bluegrass has a good strong appeal to a lot of people," Birdwell said. "We want people to know bluegrass is alive and well here in Toledo."
Hardline Drive is the opening act on March 10, with doors opening at 6 p.m. and the show starting at 7. Tickets are $15 at the door. Advance tickets are $12 and available at the Maumee Indoor Theater, 601 Conant St., or at www.glasscityopry.com.

All updates are found in post 1, so if you follow post 1 you are up to date with this guide.
Hey I'm completely new to this - just got my first wii on monday actually. I haven't attempted anything yet because I want to read through all the guides thoroughly first. But I have a question- when I actually do softmod my wii, should I follow the original post? (partitioning the external hd into 2 parts: one for apps and one for games - or can I follow the more recent guide to just fat32?) Also, I noticed that a new cios pack was posted, would I be able to just use that or is it recommended to just follow the guide first then make the updates later?
Thank you in advance! And sorry for being so noob-ey..
All updates are found in post 1, so if you follow post 1 you are up to date with this guide.
Ipsa scientia potestas est.
Warning: Piracy is NOT supported. Word your questions carefully.
Oh wow you guys are the best thank you!
hi there i need to update my wii and was wondering if it could be done via a usb stick instead of an sd card?
I have a 4.2u softmodded wii that was modded at least a year ago if not farther back than that!
I'd like to update, as I have a few newer games that I've added to my USB drive that aren't working correctly.
Can I just follow this guide straight up like it's an unmodded wii in order to update or are there other things I'll run in to that need to be done?
Did I come off like a jerk?? Read more hereShift_Lock On Forum Issues - Vol. 1
First I would like to state that this is one persons point of view. It does not reflect this site (wiihacks.com) or any other staff/mod/or admin here. It is solely mine. Now even though a few may have similar points of view this should be taken as one persons opinion. Also. This DOES NOT reflect all users and noobs here.. Just a select few personality types that pop in time to time. Lets get started!
Outlook On Forum RulesNow I realize many of you did not even read the rules and just agreed to them.. Kind of like signing a legal contract without reading the clause that states you just sold your life away It happens... When it does, YOU are still responsible and held liable for your actions. No matter how much you think its BS... Its still on you. I for one am among those who did just that when I signed up here... (Shame on me I know) I to did not read them immediately (however I did speed through it to get a general idea)... I was quickly referred to them a few times do to not being thorough enough with speed reading...
Why we have rules on this siteThe rules here at wiihacks are here for a few key reasons. Im only going to hit a few.
Conduct - We know its the net, and there are a lot of internet gangsters/bullys/and plain jack asss... We dont like that here. The ways users conduct themselves reflect the site... We want user to enjoy coming here but respect in general is needed. Flaming and such results in infractions/bans so dont do it.
Piracy This is a big one here, and no one seems to understand... First of all IT IS AGAINST THE RULES OF THE SITE! Which every last one of you members had to agree to follow prior to being a member here. Copyright laws vary from place to place so they are different for others. But we have to follow our copy rights here to protect our site. We DO NOT support piracy and will not assist in it. We dont want to lose our wonderful site that you as a user come to, to find help. Big brother (the government) and big N (Nintendo) may be watching along with a vast amount of other private sectors looking to stop the pirating of copy righted material. Shutting down sites that support it are somewhere at the top of the list to reduce this.
Personally, I dont care what you do... I dont care what your online habits are or how much porn/software/media you download every day. Its your computer and your life. YOU are responsible for anything that may occur from that. Users who lack a way with words to express themselves in what they are trying to do may get wrongly accused of being a pirate and these things occur: warnings/infractions/bans/threads closed/YouTube videos of dancing pirates/ and many many possible pictures pointing you out.
We as staff here are obligated to abide by and enforce forum rules. Whether we believe their valid or not. They are in place to protect the site and members of our community. I wont allow a poor decision result in losing this site.
Cheating Play Fair... I support it... Nothing I hate more than losing to a cheater... If I lose I want it to be because the other person was actually better. Cheating takes the fun out of the game... Why make it easier? Do you suck that bad at it? Dont like the challenge? GET A DIFFERENT GAME! We dont support cheats here. Users will not be given help on how to become invincible or walk through walls... you want god mode? Unlimited ammo? Go Google it somewhere else. Dont ask about it here.
There are a lot of users/members that say this is wiihacks wtf? or "thats the point in hacking a Wii... No it is not .. We assist users in backing up their legally purchased games so they dont get ruined in the future (we know how kids are)... Before backups I had bought 3 Mario karts! Ridiculous Anyways, it also allows us to fully enjoy the console and the convenience that some mods add to the system. We make it custom and set it up the way we like it. Kind of like your pc. A lot of users buy the Wii just so they can do that! I will ban anyone who tries to argue that point... Dont be ignorant...
So you Think Youre a HackerWarning: Spoiler below is a rant.
"Shift_Lock's Rant about the tough guys"Really guy? We are Modders at best... most users arent even that. A hacker would shut down this site with a single code line Not sit here claiming hes one arguing about rules and why he needed help... Im not saying we dont have members that are real hackers but face it... You arent one of them... Coders and developers are fantastic people that make all this possible. And some of those guys truly are considered hackers at some level. Now, could they hack the pentagon? Probably not, but maybe. Who knows... lol
The point of this is for those of you that come on here thinkin youre hot [nice word]... If you were a hacker you wouldnt need our help and wouldnt need to hide behind a proxy or redirect to post your nonsense Get over yourself and just follow our guides. If you cant hack a Wii, what can you do? Can you hit the logout button? Try It! How about facing your fail and going back to the guides to read some more Leave the hacking to the REAL hackers out there. /end rant
Need Help?Thats why youre here right? To get help Modding your Wii. Some users can just navigate the site and never need to post a thing because they can search, read and are on some level tech savvy. Other users need assistance. Thats why we are here... To support and assist those who need the help to mod or to help find solutions to their problems. We like to help but... We dont always like to spoon feed arrogant people who demand help or cant use the search function... If our search is too hard to use there is Google, and if you cant use Google then you SHOULD NOT mod your Wii...
We see the same issues every day, same posts, same questions, same answers . SEARCH FIRST!!! Read a little Geez people! Too lazy to search for a solution, but can type a wall of text that takes 15 mins to read? Cmon man step up your game... My spoon hand is getting tired, gonna have to just start [nice word] slapping people with it
Dont be lazy... Help us, help you... If youre really stuck then we take no issue helping as long as its within the lines of the rules... The grey area is kind of tough... The staff is here on OUR own time and do not get ANYTHING for being here helping you... We are not paid and dont see any part of the donations... The donations go strictly to site development. Can you fathom how much it costs to run a site of this level and host the files that we do? Everything costs money... Just not the staff here so remember that the next time you are impatient or lazy... We arent getting paid... We are helping because we want to... So keep your cool and dont lose your head... Dont give us reasons to NOT help you. If you do, well... Then we wont...
"Mutli Threads, Double Posts and bumping"Ok.. So It might not bother you but it bugs the crap outta me! It clutters the forum and makes you come off as impatient and ungrateful.
Mutli threads - Do you really need more then one?? Mods and staff see EVERY POST MADE! You only need one thread for your issue.. Dont create more then that..
Double posts - You have an "EDIT" button... it will be right under your post to the right.. it will say "EDIT".. say it with me now.. "Eh-d-it" ...... Use IT!!!
Bumping - If no one has got to you yet there IS a slim chance it was missed.. probably not.. As we answer what we know. so if we dont know, We will leave it for someone else or atleast contact another Staff member for assistance. So WAIT and be PATIENT!You can bumpAFTER 24hrs! and that it!!! I will infract/ban/scold/kick your dog/delete any users who abuse this after warnings....
More to come (without a doubt) so stay tuned for the next edition! Peace Im out!

yes you can still play your original games

Back in January we announced Refunds to Lenders and Group Leaders…
- Any lender who has a loan that came from a listing created before Nov 9, 2007 will receive a refund of his or her servicing fees charged in situations where the full monthly payment was not received within thirty (30) days after the due date of the payment.
- Lenders will also receive a refund of servicing fees on such loans when servicing fees were charged on partial payments received within 30 days of the due date, but where the full payment was not received within thirty (30) days after the due date of the payment.
- As of Nov 9, 2008, the Lender Registration Agreement has been updated to allow the charging of servicing fees on all payments, regardless of the amount and timing of the payment received. Lenders on loans that result from listings created on or after Nov 9, 2007 will have servicing fees deducted on all borrower full or partial payments, whenever received.
As of last night all of the refunds have been processed. The refunds that were specifically released last night were…
- Forfeited Group Leader rewards on late payments paid to lenders
- Group Leader rewards withheld with no mention in Group Leader or Lender agreements
These refunds combined with our Lender servicing fee refunds earlier in the quarter resolve this matter. Prosper takes our obligation to our members very seriously and we appreciate these issues being brought to our attention.
Specifically, We want to thank and acknowledge Traveler505 for bringing these errors to our attention. This is an example of how the Prosper community helps us improve the site and our operations on an ongoing basis.

Theme 4: Reforming the global financial architecture
An International Insolvency Framework - Why it is needed and what it could look like
1. Between 1999 and 2005 substantial progress has been achieved in terms of debt relief for developing countries. Through a combination of partial debt relief and strong economic growth key indicators could be considerably reduced in several countries. In a few Non-HIPC countries individually designed debt relief also led to considerable improvements.
2. During this process the international community failed, however, to develop debt management as such any further. The HIPC and MDRI relief schemes have been deliberately designed as one-off exercises. Thus, a newly over-indebted developing country would face today the same problems, which countries had after the crisis' outbreak in 1982: there exists no comprehensive mechanism to reduce a country's exposure to all its creditors in an orderly and pre-defined way.
3. Thus a HIPC, which has gone through the debt relief process has no mechanism or procedure to refer to, once it runs into new payment problems. Even before the global financial crisis took effect on the poorest countries, the World Bank acknowledged in its latest status of implementation report a "high risk of new debt distress" in 4 countries and a "moderate" one in an additional 10. It must be assumed that the situation has already turned more critical for more countries since the report's publication, and will continue to do so during 2009.
4. Additionally to Post-completion point HIPCs, which run into new debt distress, it must be assumed that some non-HIPCs will either run into over-indebtedness as a result of emergency financing, or that countries which never really managed to get out of the debt crisis of the 1980s and 1990s will be pushed over the edge by the global economic slowdown.
5. At the same time the spectrum of creditors and the variety of instruments these creditors use, has considerably widened in the past years. Some transformation and emerging economies have become important lenders themselves. So have private investment funds and domestic lenders. New debt results from some new types of bonds, from the return of the classic syndicated by commercial banks, and also from a new wave of aggressive marketing by Export Credit Agencies.
6. The International Financial Institutions (IFIs) have tried to steer this new borrowing through the World Bank's debt Sustainability Framework (DSF). These efforts are not likely to be successful, because they unilaterally exert pressure on the borrower, without providing much of an incentive for the creditor to forego an investment opportunity, because it would eventually endanger the borrower's long-term debt sustainability. Individual instruments like Collective Action Clauses (CACs) or Codes of Conduct can be useful at times. However, they generally refer to not more than one group of lending instruments or creditors.
7. With this lack of debt workout options there is an extreme danger that in both, low and middle income countries, a new round of defensive lending by multilateral institutions will start a new debt cycle like the one of the 1990's. The present emergency packages by the IMF and their co-financing from other multilateral institutions may be considered as being without alternative. However, it must be remembered that debt owed to multilateral institutions was negligible at the beginning of the 1980ies debt crisis. It became an ultimately costly exercise for the international community and a burden on development aid budgets through a long period of defensive lending. A clear-cut debt write-off in the end-1980s would have been less costly for everybody.
8. Against this background the Doha process confirmed the Monterrey Consensus' call for new orderly debt workout mechanisms. Proposals mentioned in Doha include the IMF's Sovereign Debt Restructuring Mechanism and also farther reaching proposals by academia, civil society and Southern officials. Most of these proposals convene under an "International Insolvency Framework"

A case for classifying the Rio Grande silvery minnow (Hybognathus amarus) as an omnivore
Magaña, Hugo A. 2007. A case for classifying the Rio Grande silvery minnow (Hybognathus amarus) as an omnivore. Albuquerque, NM: The University of New Mexico. 109 p. Dissertation.
The Rio Grande has been identified as one of the most endangered rivers in the United States by American Rivers. Water impoundment, water extraction, and point-source pollution have likely contributed to the decline of the federally endangered Rio Grande silvery minnow (Hybognathus amarus). The overall goal of this study was to locate, identify, and characterize food resources for H. amarus and the ichthyofauna of the Middle Rio Grande (MRG). After locating possible food resources (chapter 1) A single diatom cell was isolated from a mixed environmental collection and grown in monoculture. Unialgal cultures were used to assess H. amarus diatom preferences and conditioning response (chapter 2). An extended flood-pulse release from Cochiti Reservoir allowed me to investigate food resource usage during a flood event. Trophic interactions between fish, aquatic invertebrates, and periphyton were identified using stable isotope analyses (?13C and ?15N) and paleolimnology techniques (chapter three).
