This is a little circuit to connect your MD or DAT to your CD-ROM drive with standard optical cable.. Parts cost about 50 FIM.
This circuit is tested by me with no problems with locking to signal. Sources were Creative Infra CDROM and Creative Labs AWE32 soundcard. Recording device was SHARP MS-200H Minidisc.
This EPROM Emulator was designed to compliment the EPROM Programmer (Mark 2). An EPROM Emulator can save a vast amount of time when developing software, compared to programming and erasing EPROMs.
The unit is powered from an external PSU, since this is cheaper than buying the individual parts! One of the low cost unregulated types with an integral mains plug is suitable, providing it is capable of supplying between 10 and 18 Volts DC at 500mA without too much ripple, the voltage regulator U21 will run cooler if the voltage is nearer the lower end of this range. The types sold for powering electronic keyboards appear to be the most suitable. The prototype is powered by an old Sinclair ZX81 PSU (type UK1200).
This simple power supply unit was designed for use with the EPROM Programmer Mark 2. It is equally suitable for powering the EPROM Emulator.
Records user keystroke activity to internal EEPROM memory. Simulates keyboard operation for data retrieving. Schematics, 8051 source code and PC application for data download are provided.

The issue with wad manager and certain cios versions is they use ios37 by default rather than 38 which wad manager doesn't like. There is an alternative in yawmm which gets over these issues.
Modded my 1st Wii (4.2U) today. Added 1tb Hdd and Netflix n every thing works! What's amazingly is that it only took about 45 mins!. Thanks 2 the Wii community 4 making it all possible.
I've successfully modded my Wii, I got it for Christmas (it's an LU71 but it plays DVDs fine), updated it before I even knew about hacking (to 4.2U of course), and I've modded it with Messie's guide, and added quite a few things, then I wanted to make my own 4.2 hacking video so I followed a guide by omgmaserati to virginize it, and then hacked it again w/ Hackmii v0.6, DOP-Mii v12, cIOS38rev14 (as rev14 works for all my games and I don't feel like changing to something that might not work), Hermes cIOS v5 (202, 222, 223, 224), cIOSCORP v3.6, USBLoader GX Forwarder, and I have a ton of homebrew apps downloaded w/ Homebrew Browser (probably the best homebrew app there is). Video should be on YouTube in the next couple of days!
I have modded 3 wiis, 1 of which is mine. The other two use backup discs. However, mine runs almost everything from the USB Hard Drive. I don't run WiiWare/VC from it yet, but that i because I am too lazy to take the time to set it up TriiForce. But with the speed that my wad collection is growning I may be forced to take the plunge sometime in the near future.
I currently running on system menu 4.1U with BootMii installed to boot2 along side Priiloader v0.4. I am using CIOS rev 17, hermes 222 v4 althought I updated CIOS 202 using Hermes v5 because of the speed improvement when using MPlayer CE. I use CFG Usb Loader (because the rips are reliable) and WiiFlow (because it looks amazing) for my games, although I still have NeoGamma 8 installed to run those unruly games that refuse to work on USB Loaders.
I've modded 2 wiis. One virgin 4.2u and the other 4.1u previously chip modded. First one boot mii as ios and priiloader second one bootmii as boot2. Both have usb loader and neogamma.
I too have modded a 4.2u wii with messies guide and after all the research and reading i have done about people not being able to play certain game or having other issue, i have had none. I still have rev14(not17) with no probs. I also had a large wad list growing so i installed triiforce which was cool but the interface was pretty lame so i converted my wads to isos and play all( about 300wiiware/vc/wiidisc backups) thru usbloader. Once the initial setup is done, its just maitnence, BTW, what a great forum!!
4 so far....
the first one was mine (obvious) , system 4.2u I softmoded and downgraded to 4.1u
The 2nd one I did was a re-furbished 4.1u my Dad picked up (re-furbished with d3-2 drive LMAO)
the last 2 were systems were, 4.3u. One of which was just bought in Dec. brand new Black Wii. (not even Opened before I Moded it) and the other was a old white model just up to date.
Mine was the only one that could install Bootmii as boot2,
all have: Prilloader v0.4, Hermes 222 v4
all running: Wiiflow v2.2 r304 IOS 222, FCE Ultra GX 3.2.3, GenesisPlus GX 1.4.1, Snes9x GX 4.2.5, Vba GX 2.2.2 with channels to access them all

A novel elastomeric composition of matter comprises a suitable elastomer, a masterbatch consisting of a silicone compound in an amount of from about 10 to about 50 parts by weight based upon the weight of the elastomer, titanium dioxide, and clay. A process for the preparation of a silicone-containing elastomeric composition of matter is provided and includes the steps of masterbatching a silicone compound, clay and titanium dioxide to form a dispersion, adding the dispersion to the elastomer and thereafter forming and curing a desired product therefrom. The composition is useful in the manufacture of rubber goods such as surgical and medical products which can be single or multi-layered.
1. A novel homogenous silicone-containing stable elastomeric composition of matter comprising:
a natural rubber latex; and
from about 20 to about 85 parts by weight, based upon the weight of the rubber in said latex, of a masterbatch consisting of
a dimethylpolysiloxane compound having a viscosity average molecular weight of about 7,000 and a viscosity of about 100 centistokes, said compound being present in an amount of more than 10 to about 50 parts by weight, based upon the weight of the rubber in said latex, and being substantially free from phasing;
from about 5 to 15 parts by weight of titanium dioxide, based upon the weight of the rubber in said latex; and,
from about 5 to 20 parts by weight of clay, based upon the weight of the rubber in said latex.
2. A novel elastomeric composition of matter, as set forth in claim 1, containing 50 parts by weight of said dimethylpolysiloxane composition and having a tensile strength of at least 690 psi (48.5 Kg/cm2) at 660% elongation and a 600% modulus of at least 310 psi (21.8 Kg/cm2) after aging for one week at 70° C.
The present invention relates to a novel elastomeric composition of matter, which contains a relatively high amount of a silicone compound, and a process for making the composition. The composition is particularly suitable for the manufacture of medical and surgical instruments such as endo-tracheal tubes, intravenous tubing and specifically, Foley catheters, and it can easily be utilized in conventional multiple-dip manufacturing processes.
Catheters, as well as other medical and surgical instruments, have customarily been manufactured from natural latex primarily because the products have a low permeability, they are easily fabricated and are relatively inexpensive. The rubber composition selected must not only be susceptible to sterilization and other cleaning operations, but it must also be able to function satisfactorily when in contact with the body and its fluids. Whether the use is of a prolonged indwelling nature or short term and repeated, a catheter must remain impermeable to water and urine. Swelling of the rubber composition due to absorption of fluid, as well as deposition of various body materials are common disadvantages sought to be avoided.
Frequent attempts to improve the catheters have been made by varying the composition. Greater lubricity, for instance, can be achieved by utilization of silicone compounds which can result in less tissue irritation, resistance to the adhesion of calculi and longer service life.
Moreover, insertion and removal of catheters containing silicone is facilitated due to the smooth, oily-type surface thereof. It has been found that while pure silicone rubber possesses these desirable features, it often lacks sufficient strength to produce useful instruments. As a further disadvantage, the manufacture of such products via multiple dipping is not possible, requiring separate cementing of molded catheter tips and funnels to the drainage and inflation tubes. Incorporation of the silicone compound in the natural rubber latex blend imparts the advantages of the silicone to the latex and yet avoids the weaknesses inherent in the use of an all silicone rubber.
While it has been known to combine silicone emulsions with natural rubber latex in minute amounts, on the order of 0.025 parts by weight of the latex, for purposes of defoaming or reducing adhesion characteristics of the latex foam, combinations of larger amounts have not been successful inasmuch as they are merely mixtures of the components which tend to separate or "bleed out" of the latex with migration to the surface. Such bleeding presents problems in the manufacture and use of multi-layered products such as de-lamination, local areas of surface tack and in the case of Foley catheters, weaknesses in the inflatable balloon.
Natural rubber latex compounds suitably employed for the manufacture of high quality surgical tubing and catheters comprise 96% rubber by weight and 4% of other ingredients such as curatives, fillers, anti-oxidants and stabilizers. These formulations have not heretofore accepted even small amounts of silicone, i.e., 3 to 5% by weight per hundred parts of rubber, and produced finished products having satisfactory functional characteristics.
One U.S. patent, No. 3,962,519, does provide for incorporating silicone compounds in natural and synthetic rubber and relies upon the bleeding or migration of the silicone compound to the external surface of the instrument to provide resistance to unwanted adhesion and water repellency. The patent discloses employment of silicone compounds having a molecular weight of more than 90,000 and states that the amount present can range from about 0.1 to 10% by weight based upon the weight of the rubber. Of course, due to the migratory behavior of the silicone, incorporated according to the disclosure of this patent, relatively high amounts of silicone cannot be employed without causing separation of the silicone from the rubber latex and concommitant failure of the product. Notwithstanding the disclosure and claims of this prior patent, I have not found it possible to incorporate more than about 1% of a silicone compound of the type disclosed therein and form a satisfactory product.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an elastomeric composition comprising from about 10 to about 50 percent by weight of a silicone compound, based upon the weight of the elastomer which composition is essentially free from deleterious phasing.
It is another object of the present invention to provide medical and surgical instruments from the novel elastomer disclosed herein which have greater water repellency, smoother surfaces, higher lubricity and longer life than existing instruments.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide an elastomeric composition of natural rubber latex and a silicone compound the combination of which eliminates known disadvantages of the separate components without loss of the advantages thereof.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a process for the preparation of an elastomeric composition comprising from about 10 to about 50 percent by weight of a silicone compound, based upon the weight of the elastomer.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a process for the preparation of a silicone-containing elastomeric composition that is essentially free from deleterious phasing, allowing the manufacture of useful, long-lasting surgical and medical instruments therefrom via conventional processes.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide surgical and medical instruments, such as Foley catheters, from the silicone-containing elastomeric compositions disclosed herein having from about 10 to about 50 percent of a silicone compound, based upon the weight of the elastomer.
These and other objects of the present invention, together with the advantages thereof over the prior art, which shall become apparent from the specification that follows, are accomplished by the invention as hereinafter described and claimed.
In general, the preferred elastomeric composition of the present invention comprises a rubber latex and from about 20 to about 85 parts by weight of a masterbatch which includes, based upon the weight of the elastomer, from about 10 to about 50 parts of a silicone compound, from about 5 to 15 parts by weight of titanium dioxide, and from about 5 to 20 parts by weight of clay. The silicone-containing composition is prepared by the process of masterbatching a silicone compound, clay and titanium dioxide to form a dispersion, adding the dispersion to the elastomeric compound with stirring and thereafter forming and curing a desired product therefrom. Surgical and medical products such as Foley catheters can be formed from the silicone-containing elastomeric composition of the present invention via conventional processing techniques for natural and synthetic rubber.
Formation of the silicone-containing elastomeric composition set forth herein generally includes the use of natural rubber latex and a silicone emulsion. Although the examples provided herein disclose the use of a natural rubber latex having 56.5% total solids content by weight, it is to be understood that other latexes as well as synthetics and mixtures of the two which have conventionally been employed in the manufacture of rubber surgical and medical instruments can also be employed.
With respect to the silicone compound, one can select polysiloxanes having a viscosity of about 100 centistokes and a viscosity-average molecular weight of about 7,000, with dimethylpolysiloxane being exemplary. One particularly satisfactory silicone compound is produced by the Silicone Products Department of General Electric, and is identified by the code SM-2064. This compound is an anionic emulsion having approximately 50% total solids by weight. It requires a temperature in excess of 260° C. to increase its molecular weight and therefore, in curing operations of the type conventionally employed in the manufacture of rubber surgical and medical instruments, it retains its low molecular weight of about 7,000.
The amount of the silicone compound added can range from at least 10 parts to about 50 parts by weight per hundred parts of rubber (phr). Although the silicone content is significantly higher than has been demonstrated to be practical heretofore, according to the process described herein, it is homogeneously dispersed throughout the latex composition and therefore has a greater tendency than previous compositions to remain so both during and subsequent to vulcanization. Thus, bleeding or migration of the silicone, commonly referred to as phasing and characteristic of the prior art latex-silicone mixtures, has been reduced by the present invention, allowing much higher amounts of silicone incorporation in the rubber latex without eventual separation. It is to be understood that while some controlled migration can be advantageous, the rate of migration as well as the amount must not be so great that separation or settling of the silicone from the elastomer will occur.
In addition to the conventionally employed antioxidants, pigments, curing ingredients and stabilizers which are incorporated with rubber latex compositions, practice of the present invention requires the presence of clay and titanium dioxide. The clay is added as an aqueous dispersion having about 60% total solids by weight. Kaolin is quite suitable for this purpose and can be added in amounts of from about 5 to about 20 parts by weight phr with 15 parts being preferred. Titanium dioxide is also added as an aqueous dispersion, having about 50% total solids content, in an amount of from about 5 to about 15 parts phr with 5 being preferred.
Not only must the clay and titanium dioxide be present in the composition, in order to add the relatively high amounts of silicone disclosed herein and form a homogeneous, essentially non-separating product, it is necessary to masterbatch the clay, titanium dioxide and silicone emulsion together prior to their addition to the rubber latex. If added separately, migration and eventual separation of the silicone from the latex will occur. In practice, the titanium dioxide and kaolin dispersions are combined with high speed stirring followed by the addition of the silicone emulsion at lower speeds for approximately 10 minutes. The resulting masterbatch comprises from about 20 to about 85 parts by weight of the composition, based upon the weight of the elastomer, and is added to the rubber latex base formulation utilizing conventional procedures at slow stirring speeds.
In the four examples which follow, 15, 20, 35 and 50 parts phr of silicone respectively, were masterbatched with clay and titanium dioxide, as presented in Table I, and then added to a latex rubber formulation which is given in Table II. Products were subsequently made by a conventional dipping process, vulcanized and tested with the testing results appearing in Table III. All parts are expressed in parts by weight phr and may, therefore, alternatively be considered as percent by weight, based upon the weight of the elastomer.
Although physical properties for pure gum catheters are greater than those reported hereinbelow, corresponding physical properties for an all silicone rubber are generally less. While the pure gum possesses significantly greater strength than necessary, the all silicone rubber is on the weak side for medical and surgical products. As will be readily determined from the data in Table III, the silicone-containing elastomeric compositions of the present invention have acceptable properties for medical and surgical products which are conventionally manufactured from rubber latex. Finished articles produced from this compound, multi-layered or single dip, have been found to have large amounts of silicone distributed homogeneously throughout. No phasing or separation of the silicone from the rubber latex compound, either during storage or processing, has been observed.

The compositions disclosed herein are particularly suitable for the manufacture of Foley catheters made by a standard multiple dip process to build wall thickness around the drainage lumen and to form the inflatable balloon. Because the silicone compound can be considered to be essentially non-separable from the rubber latex, adhesion between successive layers is not hindered as is experienced when large amounts of silicone migrate to the exterior of a layer. Foley catheters made from the elastomeric composition disclosed herein have been tested in patients for indwelling periods of time of up to seven weeks without irritation to the patient or physical malfunction or deterioration of the catheter. In other tests, the inflation balloons of catheters have been filled with water and allowed to rest on a table for seven weeks. During this time no leakage of water was observed. Significance of the water inflation test is in the fact that all silicone catheters are permeable to water.
Thus, it can be seen that by employing the process disclosed herein, it is possible to prepare a novel elastomer having from about 10 to about 50 parts phr of a silicone compound which remains homogeneously distributed throughout the rubber latex even after vulcanization. As will be apparent to those skilled in the art, the composition of the novel elastomer disclosed herein can be selected according to availability of ingredients, desirability of process and nature of the end product. The methods generally available for making known surgical and medical instruments can be practiced with the elastomer disclosed herein which in turn can enable the worker to achieve the objects of the invention.
It is, therefore, believed that the preparation and use of silicone-containing elastomers disclosed herein can be determined without departing from the spirit of the invention herein disclosed and described, the scope of the invention being limited solely by the scope of the attached claims.

In a way, I think these older MMOs get a free pass to escape the craziness of having to compete with more modern titles, and as such, they're more confident in their position and freer to pursue whatever is best for the game. You know, instead of trying to ape World of Warcraft (which probably aped them first in the great circle of apes).
So what's been going on with our favorite classic MMOs last month? Let's cast our UltraVision™ back on the events of November to see what's been up with four games and their communities.
The community is already hard at work on a completely new wiki for the game, as is usual for each telling. Currently information has been (mostly) merely copied over from Tale V's wiki, although as data pour in from the current build, this is sure to change. There's also a fragmented transcript with the game's developer about amnesty from Tale V that's of interest to those making the jump to the latest version.
If you've never played this crafty (er, crafting) sandbox title, jumping in at the beginning of a telling is a great introduction to the possibilities out there. Several players on the forum are mulling over their goals and approach to Tale VI, such as one subscriber who's looking to record his progress with Fraps as he builds a settlement over a period of several weeks.
A couple of weeks ago, Game Director Colin Cragg opened up his mind-vault to the community in an extremely impressive four-page Q&A session on the forums. Among the many, many questions he fields from players, Cragg speaks frankly about the progress being made toward the graphic engine update:
Full focus was put on creating a preview video in the middle of October and has been there since. Once the focus was put on producing something to be seen externally, with that kind of attention to detail that we know critical individuals will have, we began to see small but significant rendering issues we were not happy with. Fixing these issues has been far from trivial and has resulted in more than a few complete re-writes. In some cases we have run in to some limitations of the engine we were not particularly happy with and have been working with the engine team to resolve these issues. Many of these changes have also resulted in what would have been a complete rebuild of the entire client... which for the conversion processing of 400+ old AO playfields represents approximately 400+ hours of exporting/conversion.If you're eager for any scrap of information about the game's eventual graphic update, new screenies have been posted to the forums that make this 10-year-old title look positively modern.
We all want a closed beta running as soon as possible but we are not really wanting to run that process before we are dead certain we will not have to run it again. It also goes without saying that we all want this out as soon as possible, but with years already invested in this undertaking we just aren't willing to deliver something we are not happy with. If there is a positive note in the delays associated with getting the code aspect of this change up and running it is that it has given the artists much more time to upgrade assets to be there for the day it goes live. Our goal is to have a closed Beta running this year. This is still an aggressive target at this point and it is hard to determine whether we will make it or not at this point as a great deal of this work is still "innovation" and "creative" in nature.
About a month and a half ago, mid-October, I was pathologically diagnosed with stage IIIA cancer. I have recently started to undergo chemotherapy and it has been working rather well. As well as it could go, I suppose. I won't go into much more detail, so onto the point of the thread...
With this being such an emotionally stressful time in my life, I have been looking at things in such a new way and really thinking about and appreciating the people, things, and nuances of my life. Today I come to the RuneScape forums to share with anyone who cares to read how RuneScape has impacted my life as I grew to become an adult and the lessons it has taught me, and hope to hear some of your stories about how this game has had a positive effect on your life as well.
I would have to admit that the most positive effect RuneScape has had on my life would be the support from my great online friends and the friendly (for the most part) community. You guys are seriously amazing, and you make this game a truly wonderful experience. Thank you all so much.
I just want to remind Massively SWG players that we're still looking for house screenshots for Friday's Some Assembly Required, so raid your hard drive and send us your best before it's too late!
When not clawing his eyes out at the atrocious state of general chat channels, Justin "Syp" Olivetti pulls out his history textbook for a lecture or two on the good ol' days of MMOs in The Game Archaeologist. You can contact him via email at email@example.com or through his gaming blog, Bio Break.

CCSAPP plans events throughout October
HUNTINGTON -- The Cabell County Substance Abuse Prevention Partnership (CCSAPP) is planning some events in recognition of National Substance Abuse Prevention Month, which is October.
The organization plans to address youth substance abuse prevention during the month to promote a safe and healthy community.
An underage drinking town hall is planned from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 18, at the St. Mary's Conference Room. The town hall will address policy issues contributing to youth access of alcohol. Community members will have an opportunity to voice their opinions and discuss solutions.
In addition to town halls, CCSAPP also plans to host Project Sticker Shock events with local middle and high school students. Project Sticker Shock is a message from youth to adults to refrain from providing alcohol to anyone under 21. Students place stickers on cases and bottles of alcohol in convenience stores. Students also will plan activities and wear red items to promote living a drug-free life during Red Ribbon Week, which is Oct. 23 through Oct. 31.
October is also National Medicine Abuse Prevention Month, which targets the abuse of prescription and over-the-counter drugs.
Survey results released last week by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) indicate a downturn in prescription drug abuse among young adults in the United States.
According to the 2011 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, the number of people aged 18 to 25 who used prescription drugs for non-medical purposes in the past month declined 14 percent -- from 2 million in 2010 to 1.7 million in 2011. Non-medical use of prescription drugs remained unchanged among youth aged 12 to 17 and adults aged 26 or older.
"Although some of the figures have remained the same, the decrease among young adults is a sign that we are making strides in our substance abuse prevention efforts," Lynn Ormiston, CCSAPP program coordinator, said in a release. "National Substance Abuse Prevention Month is good for our community and the entire nation. It showcases the solutions we work toward every day."

That being, many sistas are single by choice and have no desire to be in a relationship. She is embracing and enjoying her space, independence, and freedom as results of her decision. How you managed to place the subject matter on brothas dating out side of the box is beyond me. Furthermore, many sistas indeed select to date out side of the box as well. You've basically confirmed one reason as to why this is so. Perhaps the title is in fact quite appropiate and shall be directed towards those who share similar mindstates as you do. Thus, get over it!
That is so very true. And as a result, so many of our youth are so reluctant to speak up thus sadly they continue to endure such abuse. Unfortunately, they are so psychologically and emotionally damaged by the time they reach adulthood that they either cannot embrace a healthy relationship or they have negative connotations about them altogether.

Dr. Balmaceda addresses peacemakers
Dr. Balmaceda participated in the Annual Peacemakers Conference in Orlando, FLorida on September 21-25. She lead two workshop sessions on the following topics:
1. A Justice that Heals
Can hatred be replaced by understanding, empathy and forgiveness? What processes can facilitate such a transformation?
In this workshop Dr. Balmaceda examined the role of restorative circles in dealing with conflict. In light of the many Scripture passages that demand those who have caused harm to take responsibility for their actions (and/or omissions), restorative circles provide an opportunity for a facilitated conversation that is honest and intense, with an emphasis in uncovering the root of the problem, admitting the wrongdoing, seeking forgiveness and identifying the steps necessary to repair the harm, in order to rebuild lives, relationships and communities. By observing the potential and limitations of the restorative approach, the workshop leader and the participants considered how justice and forgiveness can promote genuine accountability and transform severe conflict into cooperation and healing.
2. The Role of Justice in Peacemaking, with Chip Zimmer, Vice-President for Global Ministries.
Justice is one of God's defining characteristics and, as Christians, we are called to pursue justice. What is justice and how do we understand it in the context of peacemaking? This workshop explored these questions analyzing the different aspects of the concept of justice as an integral part of shalom, with the purpose of integrating a biblical understanding of justice into peacemakers' work.

New Delhi/Patna, March 22: Noted journalist and author M.J. Akbar and former bureaucrat N.K. Singh Saturday joined the BJP, the latter inviting scorn from the Janata Dal-United (JD-U) which he quit.
Bharatiya Janata Party president Rajnath Singh welcomed Akbar and N.K. Singh, a former revenue secretary, into the party at two separate events. (Read: BJP fields actor Paresh Rawal from Gujarat)
N.K. Singh was known for long as a loyalist of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and was widely credited with building brand Nitish.
"Social activists, retired military officers and actors have become members of the party," Rajnath Singh said. "Today, veteran journalist M.J. Akbar joined the BJP."
This will be Akbar's second innings in politics.
Akbar, who rose to fame after editing the now extinct "Sunday" weekly magazine from 1976, later presided over "The Asian Age" and now edits "The Sunday Guardian", a weekly newspaper.
He was elected to the Lok Sabha in 1989 from Kishanganj in Bihar on Congress ticket. He lost in 1991.
Some of his best known books are "India: The Siege Within", "Riot After Riot", "Tinderbox: The Past and Future of Pakistan" and "The Shade of Swords: Jehad and the Conflict between Islam and Christianity".
After joining the BJP at Rajnath Singh's residence, N.K. Singh said that Bihar's JD-U government was worried over its survival and that development had been hit after the JD-U dumped the BJP.
The JD-U reacted angrily in Patna.
"N.K. Singh is an opportunist," said an angry party leader Sharad Yadav. He said N.K. Singh had told him that he was upset he was not re-nominated to the Rajya Sabha.
"In any party, people express their resentment and anger. It is common after being denied a party ticket. But resigning and joining a party with the opposite ideology is an example of opportunist politics."
The JD-U didn't nominate N.K. Singh to the Rajya Sabha and asked him to contest the Lok Sabha election from Banka.

A 36-year-old man in the Waller County Jail on burglary charges has been indicted after officials say DNA evidence indicates he murdered 67-year-old Carol Voekel of Brenham last year.
Michael David Covington was indicted Wednesday on capital murder charges and could face the death penalty.
Washington County District Attorney Bill Parham says Covington has been in the Waller County Jail on numerous burglary charges and is also wanted in Harris County for other burglaries. Parham says since the beginning, Covington has been the prime suspect in Voekel's murder.
Last September, Voekel's body was found by Brenham firefighters and policeman after they were called to her home because of a house fire.
Investigators believe Covington may have been burglarizing the house when Voekel walked in and discovered him. An autopsy indicated Voekel died of strangulation, with officials believing Covington started the fire to cover up the murder.

Christopher J. Harris, 30, of McLean County, the former son-in-law of Beason resident Raymond "Rick" Gee, was arrested Thursday afternoon in the deaths of Gee and four other members of his family.
At a news conference Thursday night, Sheriff Steve Nichols said Harris "was being charged" with murder. Logan County State's Attorney Michael McIntosh said formal charges had not been filed Thursday night.
"The arrest is based on the tireless efforts of the investigators and the Illinois State Police Crime Lab forensic analysis of evidence removed from the crime scene," Nichols said. "There are more investigative leads to be followed. We have not determined at this time if more arrests may come."
Nichols would not comment on a motive for the killings.
A phone listing for Harris could not be located Thursday, and it was not immediately clear if he had an attorney.
Gee, 46, his wife, Ruth Gee, 39, and children Justina Constant, 16, Dillen Constant, 14, and Austin Gee, 11, were found dead in their home on Sept. 21. They apparently were beaten to death.
Another child, 3-year-old Tabitha Gee, survived the attack and was hospitalized in Peoria last week in critical but stable condition. An update on her condition has not been released this week.
Harris formerly was married to Nicole Gee, Rick's daughter, who did not live at the home. Nicole Gee was granted a divorce in March of 2007 based on "grounds of mental cruelty," and she took Harris to court in May seeking modification of child support, court records show.
Sources wishing to remain unnamed say that Harris' daughter, who attended Chester East-Lincoln, has not attended school since the incident occurred.
Authorities also confiscated a 1989 Ford Ranger pickup truck, owned by Harris, that matched the description of a truck seen in the area after the slayings.
Jennifer C. Earnest of Armington said she sold Chris Harris a gray truck matching the description of the one authorities sought. A gray truck was spotted outside Nicole Gee's house for days after the killings.
A knock on the door of the home went unanswered Thursday.
She lives about a mile from where her family was found slain.
Criminal records from Logan County show multiple arrests of a Christopher Harris with the same listed date of birth.
In an arrest for possession of drug paraphernalia and marijuana in 1997, Harris' address is listed as 1571 2150th St. in Beason. That is the listed address where the Gee slayings occurred.
After the killings, local police initially warned area residents to take extra precautions, such as making sure to lock their doors at night.
Funeral services for the family were held Monday. Hundreds of friends and acquaintances attended and heard the Gees' relatives recall them as kind, simple people with warm hearts.
Page 2 of 2 - Beason, a town of about 200 people, is about 10 miles east of Lincoln.
Earlier Thursday, authorities said more than 500 tips have been reported to authorities about the case.
A multi-agency team of law enforcement professionals was assembled to form the Gee Homicide Task Force.
The task force is composed of dozens of members of the Logan County Sheriff's Department, Lincoln Police Department, state police, Logan County State's Attorney's Office, Illinois Attorney General's Office and the FBI.
Six state police crime scene investigators processed evidence inside the Gee's ranch-style home and have been managing more than 170 exhibits, police said.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

- Sheriff: Suspect in Beason slayings may have been injured
- Still no arrests in Beason case, but tips coming in from across U.S.

Although he was raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Donnis didn't start officially rapping until he was stationed in Japan. Now 25, Donnis spent four years in the U.S Air Force, where his military colleagues saw promise in his skill and urged him to perform at local clubs. Soon after he decided to finally pursue a career in the rap industry.
In anticipation of his curated JackThreads "back to school" streetwear sale (not to mention the August 28th release of "Break Hundreds and Hearts" on Fools Gold Records!), the ATL's XXL-lauded up-and-comer put 60 seconds on the clock to spit about Drake, Rick Ross, and the trials of batting clean-up for both those dudes.
Q+A With Donnis
If you could explore one continent -- but only that continent -- for the rest of your life, which would you choose and WHY?
I think I would explore Asia. I love Asian women, food, and culture. I lived in Tokyo for 3 years and didn't explore Asia the way I should have. I was too caught up in Tokyo's women, food, and culture. Ha.
Jordans, Dunks, Eras, Timbs, or other? Why?
My preferred footwear is really anything comfortable. Comfort is at the top of my list whenever I am getting dressed.
When you were growing up, what was the one piece of clothing you were desperate to own? Do you still want it now?
As a kid my mom wouldn't buy me Reebok Pumps to save my life. She bought any other clothing I wanted - I had Jordans, Nautica, Hilfiger and Polo for days. She just wasn't feeling the Reebok Pump hype. Yes, I copped me some Reebok Pumps now (THE BENEFITS OF BEING AN ADULT).
Good music, good house, good friends, good clothes/shoes, good food. Which one of these could you live without, and why?
I think I would do without the good house, because if the music, friends, food and my gear are good, everything else will work its way out. I'll meet a bad b*tch with a good house (playa playa).
What are 5 songs on your playlist right now?
Now playing:
- Nirvana: "Come As You Are (Unplugged)"
- Nirvana: "Man Who Sold the World (Unplugged)"
- Treated Crew: "All Black"

Read the disclaimer and accept to continue.
Step 2:
You should click next until you see the screen shown below.
Input the Phone Model as Nokia 2610 and click [next]
Step 3:
The next screen will show three options as shown in the image.:
We will need to complete this complete process three times all together, one for each of these settings, for now though; just select WAP/GPRS
Step 4:
On this screen select your country from the drop down list, I have selected Ireland but yours will vary,
click [next]
Step 5:
Select your mobile network operator on this screen, I have selected 02, and yours may vary.
click [next]
Step 6:
On the next screen you will be asked for your service provided, or in other words, whether your are on either a pre payed (speak easy on 02) or contract (bill pay) tariff.

IMPORTANT: tell them the phone is a nokia 2610. These setting work for sciphone.
You can thank me later.
have just bought one of these new SCiphone i68s. I liked the look of it but frankly I've probably bought the wrong phone because I don't intend to use it for email or games.
I am having some trouble though getting it to recognise my voicemail number. I did manage ti get it working at one point, could dial into and listen to my voicemail, but can't now. I keep getting a message to contact my customer services. When I put the SIM card back into my old phone it works perfectly. I'm on O2 (british) and no matter how many times a request settings, nothing comes back. Can anyone help me set up my voicemail and keep it stable? Thanks all in advance!
if this is so then you misunderstand, you need to go online with your PC, which i presume you can do since you left a comment here, follow the steps above and the settings will be text to your phone. simple.
you will not be able to go online with your phone until after you complete the steps above,
i hope this clears it up for you
any more questions give us a shout, it really is pretty easy though

Twas A Good Year For Shows
It was a good year show wise. Saw some 35 bands at 13 shows at 8 venues in 6 towns and a bunch of them were local.
Started with some horror punk with "Wednesday 13″, "Cold Blue Rebels", "Calabrese" (remember that name) and "Stript" at Studio Seven in Seattle….
Then "Rebel Spell" up in Cashmere at The Pioneer House……
"Hard Money Saints" and "Angie and The Car Wrecks" at The Clearwater in East Wenatchee…..
Psychobilly in Moses Lake as Sick Boy Productions brought in "The Rocketz"…..
Saw some swing as "Cherry Poppin' Daddies" played Ephrata for the Basin Summer Sounds…..
Caught the Dirtnap Showcase at The Highline in Seattle as the record company brought 10 of their bands in for an anniversary show including "Mean Jeans", "Sonic Avenue", "White Wires" and "Marked Men"…..
Also caught a great example of old punker and new punker as "The Queers" and "Teenage Bottlerocket" teamed up for a tour…..
And caught a whole bunch of shows locally including "Bad Tats", "Young Evils", "Rum Rebellion" and "D.C. Fallout" along with local talent "Not All There", "Panic Bomb" and "Rich And Rare Rebels" just to name a few at Wally's House Of Booze (where the magic happens).

The e-Axle is an eccentric front motorcycle axle assembly which replaces the stock front wheel axle and adjust front wheel offset in the same manner as after market triple clamps would but over a much larger range and without frame interference issues that come with many aftermarket offset triple clamps.why would settle for a single fixed triple clamp offset when you can have a huge range for less money with the e-axle
The e-Axle allows the rider to instantly tune the steering characteristics of their motorcycle to meet changing riding conditions.
Within minutes the rider may adjust the e-Axle over a 6 millimeter range, achieving instant trail adjustment without the cost and hassle of expensive after market offset triple clamps. There is no perfect offset for every rider or every riding condition. Only the e-Axle makes it possible to instantly adjust and utilize the best offset for every riding condition and the settings are not fixed on mm ,your setting can be anywhere inbetween .unlike moving the forks up or down in the triple clamps with the e- axle trail and rake angle have finally been seperated making seperate adjustments possible .
The patented e-Axle is made of heat-treated, precision ground 17-4PH solid stainless steel and despite the smaller diameter is designed to provide greater strength than the stock motorcycle front axle.the e-axle wheel spacers are steel sleeved for long life and the axle comes with a compact multi tool for quick on the trail setting changes .the hex sockets fit the fork axle clamps and center axle and the tool also acts as an axle pull/drift in the event a fast wheel change is needed
So whether trackside or on a trailside ride, your e-Axle works everywhere and has the ability to adjust to unexpected changes in riding conditions in less than two minutes using only an end wrench.
Purchase the e-Axle online here, at Eaton Motor Sports.

US Rep. Doggett nominated in new Texas district
AUSTIN, Texas - U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett has won the Democratic primary in the newly created 35th Congressional District, where the nine-term congressman sought re-election after his former district was redrawn to favor Republicans.
Doggett defeated two Hispanic challengers in a solidly Hispanic district that stretches from Austin to San Antonio.
His opponents criticized the wealthy lawyer for not running elsewhere and taking on Republicans using his $3 million in campaign funds.
District 35 is one of four new U.S. House seats in Texas and was drawn so that minorities can elect their preferred candidate.
Nearly half the district was represented by Doggett under the old voting map. Doggett says there was no chance for a Democrat to win in four other Austin-area districts that all lean Republican.

Will There Be a Snow White and the Huntsman Sequel? Kristen Stewart Says…
Kristen Stewart and Rupert Sanders — together again?
Not long after Kristen's makeout sesh with her married Snow White and the Huntsman director came to photographic light, rumors surfaced that she'd been cut from a potential SWaTH sequel in favor of a Huntsman-only spinoff.
At the time, The Hollywood Reporter speculated that the decision was based not on the highly publicized scandal, but rather on the actress's daunting salary — especially compared to the relative bargain that was Huntsman Chris Hemsworth.
However, Deadline was quick to shoot down the report with a statement from Universal: "We are extremely proud of Snow White and the Huntsman and we're currently exploring all options to continue the franchise," explained co-chairman Donna Langley. "Any reports that Kristen Stewart has been dropped are false."
And now Kristen herself has weighed in, telling The Hollywood Reporter she thinks "there's a strong possibility" a followup film could see the light of day.
Whether or not she commands a part in it — and Rupert signs on as director — remains to be seen.

For Immediate Release:
Inspired by the Paintings of Andrew Wyeth
and presented by members of the
Kennett Symphony Children's Chorus
March 23, 2 p.m.
The composer, Van Stiefel, a professor of music at West Chester University, set to music three poems written by David Livewell. The poems, from Livewell's book of poems Woven Light, are based on Andrew Wyeth's Roasted Chestnuts (1956), Me (2007) and The Big Room (1981). All three poems suggest themes central to both Wyeth's work and to the music created. According to Dr. Stiefel, these are "childhood's presence in the adult's life; art practice as an inter-generational shared experience and landscape as a locus of memory."
Roasted Chestnuts, which symbolizes isolation and loneliness, is on view in the Andrew Wyeth gallery. The Big Room depicts the living room of the N.C. Wyeth home where Andrew grew up. Me is one of the last tempera paintings created by Wyeth.
This innovative body of work is the culmination of a Community Partners' Project between the Kennett Symphony Children's Chorus and the American Composers' Forum, Philadelphia Chapter. The program is free for members and included in museum admission.
Brandywine River Museum, located on U.S. Route 1 in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, is open daily (except Christmas Day) from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Admission is $12 for adults; $8 for seniors ages 65 and over, $6 for students and children ages 6-12; free for children under six and Brandywine Conservancy members. Museum admission is free on Sunday mornings from 9:30 a.m. to noon through November 24 (except May 26 during the Annual Antiques Show).

In 1942, 38 men, women and children slide down a cold, muddy hole in the ground, seeking refuge from the war above in a pitch-black underground world where no human had gone before. These five Ukrainian Jewish families created their own society where young men bravely ventured into the harrowing night to collect food, supplies and chop firewood. Held together by an iron-willed matriarch, after 511 days, the cave dwellers, ages 2 to 76, emerged at war's end in tattered clothes, blinded by a sun some children forgot existed. Despite all odds, they had survived.

Lots of people have said that if doomsday ever came, they would just learn how to coat their own. But it now appears that doomsday never came. Not that there aren't lots of other valid non-doomsday reasons to do it. Just that the panic-driven one might now have subsided.

I think you're right, but for me making an emulsion or an alt process print is more than just a last resort if Kodak fails, it's another tool that helps me create a vision. Some images are better served with commercial emulsions and some with homemade stuff imo. I also believe that photographers should have a basic understanding about the tools they are using. Take painters quiet a few make their own paint, or potters that make their own clay or at least know a lot about the product they are using compare them to photographers and it obvious that photographers know very little about their medium.
If someone has to discuss matters in a disguised manner, something is very wrong here. Rules or not, that is just plain wrong. Isn't this America? So the PC police are going to dictate what words can be used by people? Someone had better come to terms w/ the results of their actions. Seems self defeating to me. You can't learn anything by restricting people's vocabulary. That sort of thing never works.

I think this might be a part of it. And I feel like I've seen more threads on it in the last couple of years than in the first ones I was here.
Count me as one who would love to try it, but who doesn't have time to take a class or put enough time into it to really know what I'm doing.

This is quite timely. I started pulling together things to begin doing some emulsion making in early spring but as summer approached other things interfered. Now fall is here and winter is quickly approaching. Time to get back to it again. Maybe by next spring I will be ready to make some pictures.
I think I have most of the equipment so it is now time to begin picking up the materials. I will have to head back to the Light Farm to refresh my list.
I recently brought up a thread on LFF about coating Dry Plates by hand, thinking that since the subject hadn't really been addressed there would be great interest. It landed with a quiet thud. But, I wasn't surprised. Since learning to coat plates I've perty much lost interest in using commercial film, which has been to my benefit. I would have no problem making my own emulsions if I could justify the labor and time that is required. Cost wise it seems to be about the same a using Liquid Light or an equivalent.

This bit is worth highlighting as I have also noticed an upsurge in nonsense threads on this forum in recent times. I wonder if it's the Facebook effect - where people feel compelled to post some irrelevant drivel everyday, under the impression perhaps that they are keeping the place lively. I would prefer to see less threads, but on more interesting and relevant topics, dry plate coating among them.
Hi DannL,
Welcome to APUG! Would you consider re-starting your coating thread here? I do hope you also consider making your own emulsions someday. $-wise, homemade is a lot cheaper. Time-wise, of course you are right. Every step of d.i.y. does add time to a process.
I've come to think of all this as Slow Photography, done for all the reasons gardening and real cooking are done. I'm on the same page as MDR. Knowing your materials and process adds a whole new layer to the experience. Also nice to know that a paper or film will be available for as long as I want to make it, not for as long or short a time as some commercial interest decides they want to.
Pioneer: I hope you have a great winter of emulsion making!
Dedicated to Handmade Silver Gelatin Paper, Film, and Dry Plates.
Academically interested, yes. Have time for; hell no! I can barely keep up with developing and scanning the photos I take on film that I don't need to manufacture myself, and I'm waaaay behind on printing. Adding another very-time-consuming process step is just not going to happen, especially when it's not going to get me quality anywhere near as good as commercial film stocks.
I do quite enjoy reading the threads about it that pop up here occasionally though.
Probably one day I will try carbon printing to see what the relief looks like, but that's probably about the limit for me smearing goop on stuff.

Analogue Photography and Film FAQ
Open-Source F/Stop Timer
Starting up a personal research-project on wet-plate these days, need to get the book first, then read, then figure out where to get the chemicals, after that, the materials (plates) and after that, the actual photographic equipment.
My impression is that wet/dry-plate is gaining popularity, specially for portraits etc (for potential buyers and clients).
A lot of the photographers I know, would like to try it out, but the biggest issue is getting hold of the chemicals in these days of "war on terror" in every country in the western hemisphere. :/
"Nice picture, you must have an amazing camera."
Visit my photography blog at: http://helino-photo.blogspot.com
I just wish I had more time. At least then I could dive headfirst into the topic and maybe learn something cool and useful. But I don't have it. Can barely find time to process film anymore, let alone proofing and printing.

Read Poems by
Red Omara
There's a land to visit in your dreams
a place that really has, it seems,
no Brussels sprouts or cauliflower,
no cabbage, broccoli or sauer-
-kraut or parsnips or broad beans,
and where peas truly are the only greens.
Spuds they bake there have some crunch
so they go quite well with Sunday lunch.
And, to get apple pie or creamy whips
you only have to eat your chips.
So close your eyes and try to find
The Land Of Kale Much Maligned,
where Popeye, building superpowers,
shuns spinach and instead devours,
guess what, to give him strength supreme?
Yes! Lots of scones with jam and cream!
