Robin Rhode
Robin Rhode (b. Cape Town, 1976) is a South African artist based in Berlin, Germany. In 1998, he obtained a diploma in Fine Art from Technikon Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, followed by a postgraduate program at the South African School of Film, Television and Dramatic Art in Johannesburg.
Working predominantly with everyday material like charcoal, chalk and paint, Rhode started out creating performances that are based on his own drawings of objects that he interacts with. He expanded and refined this practice into creating photography sequences and digital animations. These works are characterised by an interdisciplinary approach that brings aspects of performance, happening, drawing, film and photography together. Rhode often returns to his native South Africa, creating work in the streets of Johannesburg and continuously registering the traces of poverty and social inequality. An outstanding characteristic of his works is his addressing of social concerns in a playful and productive manner, incorporating these issues into his practice without simplifying or judging them.
Artistic practice[edit]
Reminiscent of practices of street culture, Rhode usually works in public spaces, using walls, public basketball courts or just the street as his "canvas". His preferred materials are easily accessible ones like charcoal and paint. As a result, his works stand out through their simplicity and their formal clarity, emphasising the idea over lavishness of production. Rhode transforms simple shapes into elements of narratives, interacting with only imagined presences. This narrative practice goes back to an initiation ritual at South African high schools – that Rhode himself experienced – where new students are forced to draw and interact with their drawing. Rhode's reference to this event takes this social gesture further into a playful mode of *addressing cultural phenomena. Rhode's stories often include a moment of conflict and possible failure. The black and white 26-panel photographic work Juggla for instance depicts a circus-like clown. Prodding at this form of popular entertainment, the faceless character is at the mercy of the wealthy, juggling or holding nothing. With Juggla, Rhode references Minstrel Carnivals from the Caribbean and South Africa where troupes, made up of members from a particular neighbourhood of the city, are assembled and each is expected to parade and perform for its local community in exchange for food and drink. Rhode also pays homage to the fervent utopian ideals of the Bauhaus, implicating Oscar Schlemmer's seminal Triadic Ballet from the twenties, a performance experiment created in the Bauhaus studios in the absence of a theatre space, balancing "emotional impulses" with an agenda of political agitation. His drawings of objects like a bicycle, a motorbike, a car, or of abstract shapes and patterns are employed as physical elements in a story, often alluding to the act of creation itself as in Promenade (2008).
Rhode's earlier practice was dominated by performances which took place first on the streets, later in museums and galleries. One of the most popular performances is Car Theft (2003, Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN) where Rhode appears as a hooded character in street clothes who first draws a car on the wall and then tries to break in, eventually throwing a stone at the drawn object; highlighting his signature method of attempting to playfully transform flat renderings of everyday objects into illusory three-dimensional ones through his physical interactions. Very much a provocateur and cultural subversive, he shares conceptual links with artists as varied as Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray, Jean-Michel Basquiat, David Hammons and the Russian constructivists. Yet, these "high art" associations do not negate his equally strong ties to popular cultural phenomena such as rappers Wu-Tang Clan, the Nike brand, graffiti art, and music-video director Hype Williams. Rhode is realising his own personal vision of the world that surrounds him, using art as a means to approach and reflect it in an interdisciplinary practice that goes beyond established borders of genres and traditional ways to engage with art. In Skipping Rope (2005, Musée ďArt Moderne de la Ville de Paris/ARC) Rhode interacted with the audience, engaging them into playing with an imaginary rope. The spectators became participants, taking part in Rhode's imagination that continuously seeks to reach beyond the boundaries of traditional artist-spectator roles.[citation needed]
Professional career[edit]
Trajectory of exhibitions[edit]
Rhode had his first solo exhibition at Perry Rubenstein Gallery in New York in 2004. In 2005, he was featured in the 51st Venice Biennale and New Photography at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 2007 he had a large-scale exhibition at the Haus der Kunst in Munich, curated by Stephanie Rosenthal accompanied by his first monograph Walk Off, published by Hatje Cantz. He had a second gallery exhibition in 2007 with the Perry Rubenstein Gallery (a large scale exhibition at all three gallery spaces). In September 2008 he had a solo show at both the Hayward Gallery and White Cube Gallery, London and participated in Prospect.1 New Orleans, the New Orleans Biennale curated by Dan Cameron. In 2009, Robin Rhode collaborated with the Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes to build the stage design and visual accompaniment for Andsnes' contemporary exploration of Modest Mussorgsky's piano suite of "Pictures at an Exhibition" which premiered at Lincoln Center, New York City, in November 2009.[citation needed]
Works in public collections[edit]
Rhode's work is included in the collections of numerous international institutions, including The Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), New York; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; The Studio Museum in Harlem, New York; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC; the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, Durham, NC; the Honart Museum Collection, Tehran; the Goetz Collection, Munich, Germany; Johannesburg Art Gallery, Johannesburg, South Africa; the collection of Frac Champagne-Ardenne, Reims ; the Centre Pompidou, Paris ; the Fonds national d'art contemporain (Puteaux) ; and the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.[citation needed]

In less than 72 hours, school will be in session. Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like their summer ran just a tad bit too short? Either way, the summer is over and it is time to begin a new semester now that our brains have rested, and a new season now that our bodies have been pumping that iron!
All of my teammates are moving back to Albuquerque and are just as excited as I am to begin this new year. We have high expectations, like we do every year, so we're ready to work hard in this pre-season to meet those expectations. This will be an exciting season with a vamped up schedule, face-lifted Pit, and - how can I not mention this - one last year to beat those Utah Utes!
If you are looking forward to the 2010-2011 season as much as I am, make sure to purchase your season tickets. They're available right now here on GoLobos.com. We want as many of you as possible at every one of our games. Everyone knows that the Lobos have the best fans in college basketball. We can't wait for you guys to prove it again this season.
It has been a fun summer writing this blog. It gave me a great opportunity to get to know some of my teammates better. I also got accustomed to the life of a journalist - glued to the computer screen. I truly do hope you enjoyed reading From the U throughout the summer.
Please note - this is not `goodbye,' it's `see you later.' Even though this weekly summer blog has come to an end, don't fret. If the good people here at media relations will have me, I will be posting updates this fall as well.
Let the countdown to the Howl begin!

Generally EPIET fellows are entitled to a number of days of annual leave/sick leave. These issues are regulated in detail by respective ECDC and/or host institutions regulation.
The ECDC does not cover pension payments nor social security such as sickness insurance and fellows will be responsible to arrange necessary insurances and pension payments. These costs will be reimbursed by ECDC, based on true costs with justification of expenses and within a ceiling (currently 1000 € per month).
The course has been free of charge the last two years. The cost for the following will be covered by ECDC for each participant:

Store patron Debra Lichter told the clerk, "I used to work with people about how to deal with people with disabilities, and I know you thought you were being cheerful but you were very condescending to this woman."
Bystander Matthew Lichten added, "And I have to say, I am a psychotherapist and you are the one with the disability."
But ABC News wondered what would happen if the blind woman was swapped for a blind man named Adam? During half of Adam's shopping trips, no one intervened on his behalf.
Most people didn't explain why, although customer Yvette McNeil said she didn't get involved because the "the guy behind the counter looked mean."
When people did come forward for the blind man, it seemed that they were not only infuriated by the cheating but by their inability to stop it.
Marcia Errar, having witnessed the scene unfold, angrily yelled at the clerk, "You don't need to work in here. Let me tell you that. You don't know how to treat customers."
When the clerk denied having cheated the customer, Fran Rosamilia was so frustrated she asked, "Can you talk? You said that was a $20 and that was a $10, and in his hand those were two ones." In fact, she was so frustrated, she left without buying her cake.
Throughout the course of the experiment people never said a word until they actually saw the clerk shortchange the blind actors. They often disregarded the clerk's initial snide remarks. That is, except for one man named Nick Mitola.
The clerk began in his usual manner, insulting the blind actress about her disability. Mitola spoke up immediately. "You're really being rude, just stop talking, you're getting deeper and deeper," he said firmly.
The clerk asked the actor, "Are you deaf too? I told you three times."
Mitola had finally had enough and could no longer contain his disgust. "Wow. Shut up, Shut up! Enough's enough! Just shut up!" he yelled.
Later, Mitola explained that he owns a steak house down the street and that "if one of my people ever ... I'd have pulled him out of the counter and killed him in front of the customers. I swear to God I would have."
While Pamela and Adam take great pride in their independence, they appreciated the strangers who stood up for them on their behalf. But even more empowering, they said, would be to have a currency that would allow them to distinguish the different bills, so that they wouldn't have to rely on the honesty of strangers every time they shopped.
Indeed, a federal appeals court recently ruled in favor of the American Council of the Blind, concluding that the Treasury Department was being discriminatory by failing to provide such a currency, paving the way for a future redesign.

A commercial truck entered the freeway via an off ramp, but he was traveling the wrong direction. The driver had just gone into diabetic shock and was unaware of what he was doing. The truck hit several vehicles and the concrete center divider; it then rebounded into the 2nd lane right in front of the plaintiff. She had no opportunity to avoid the
accident and the front of her car struck the truck's right rear wheel. The defendant's truck then became airborne, and caused the plaintiff's car to hit the metal guardrail, and roll backwards until it finally stopped in the third lane.
The incredible damage that can be caused by an out of control truck is truly shocking. Such vehicles can weigh over 80,000 lbs. When there is an impact with a smaller car or truck, the results can be utter devastation. At Lauri J. Goldstein & Associates, PLLC, an attorney can assist with making a claim for compensation for all damages suffered in such an
accident. The attorney will fight for the maximum compensation that can be sought. However, it is crucial that you contact an attorney as quickly after the accident as is possible. A review of all the police reports and a careful documentation of the accident as well as all expenses involved must be done immediately when seeking the maximum compensation for damages.
The plaintiff suffered serious injuries from the accident. She had trauma to her spine, bruised ribs, a concussion and multiple sprains on her arms and legs. A settlement of $1.75 million was agreed upon for medical bills and future

WASHINGTON A 7 month old baby was thrown from a car seat and died in a single-vehicle crash and rollover in Washington County Tuesday morning.
It happened on FM 50 just north of Independence.
A state trooper says a father driving his two children home told them he fell asleep at the wheel, went off the highway, tried to steer his SUV back on the pavement, but hit a tree and rolled over.
His 7 month old son was killed.
The father and a 2 year old daughter were not seriously injured.
Department of Public Safety investigators are checking to see if the baby's car seat was properly installed.

Showalter's Yankees comments were private
Norris glad to join winning Orioles squad
BALTIMORE –- Orioles manager Buck Showalter is unusual in many ways. He's a manager who actually enjoys the media, relishes exchanging ideas and opinions with them.
This week, he got burned.
Showalter was quoted in USA Today in talking about the possibility that if Alex Rodriguez is suspended for next year the New York Yankees would be able to wipe his salary off the books.
"If Bud lets them get away with that, they're under the luxury tax. If they can reset again, they can spend again, and I guarantee you, in two years, Matt Wieters is in New York," he told the publication.
Showalter made the comments, but didn't think he'd be quoted.
"It wasn't meant for public consumption. You guys know, we sit around and talk all the time about baseball issues because we all kind of love our game and we look at things and we talk about it. Unfortunately, somebody decided to put it out there publicly," Showalter said.
"I said it, and someone decided to print it. It's unfortunate. What are you going to do?"
Showalter emphasized that his point was the Orioles would like to keep Wieters, who can be a free agent after 2015.
"We'd like Matt to be with us. We like him," Showalter said.
Wieters was told of the manager's comments earlier today by Showalter.
"I'm worried about playing this year, worried about this playoff run we're in right now. Buck's got his way of saying things and being able to get across his point of view," Wieters said.
"I'm happy to be here right now, and I'm not thinking about where I'm going to be playing in two years, that's for sure."

Day 2 The elegant Post Hotel, where old-world charm meets modern sophistication Bike Bow Valley's rolling hills alongside blooming meadows, towering summits and a striking blue-green river Water pounds and spray flies at the dramatic Johnston Canyon waterfall If your legs are up for a longer ride, climb to Moraine Lake and take in the superb view of 10 towering peaks reflected in its brilliant turquoise water.
Day 3 Ride the Icefields Parkway, a journey through the heart of the Canadian Rockies along the Continental Divide—it's been called one of the world's most beautiful roads! Watch for black bears, elk, mountain goats and bighorn sheep Tumbling glaciers flank the gradual ascent to unbelievably blue Bow Lake.
Days 4-6 Gloriously crisp clean mountain air Crest Sunwapta Pass en route to Athabasca Glacier At the Columbia Icefield Centre, get the lowdown on the enormous frozen expanse, one of North America's primary fresh water sources Explore Sunwapta Valley's riverside byways Bike to remarkable Maligne Canyon and come face-to-face with the sculpting power of water, or opt for a river float trip.

Guest Trip Reviews
This was my 8th active vacation and it was the best of them all! Great cycling and scenery. And outstanding trip leaders were both very professional, service-oriented, and generated lots of fun.- Tacoma, WA
Everything about this trip was fabulous. I felt well taken care of and supported along the way. The food was exceptional . . . don't usually pack smoked salmon on MY picnics (smile).- Saint Paul, MN
Thank you, Backroads, for sharing this beautiful part of the world with us in such a rewarding and special way. Cycling through the Canadian Rockies was an incredible experience that will leave its imprint on my life!- Saint Louis, MO
Trip of a lifetime. The scenery was awe-inspiring to say the least.- Crownsville, MD
Without a doubt, this trip was one of the finest of my life: breathtaking scenery, talented guides, fine food and people. Backroads challenges and pampers in a well-balanced, well-paced trip. The routes selected were sublime. I found myself laughing joyously as I rode because I was continually and progressively awestruck. THANK YOU!!- Brighton, MA
An absolutely fabulous trip from beginning to end. The biking was very challenging but achievable even by someone like me in less than top biking shape. Of all my previous Backroads trips, I left this one with the biggest feeling of personal accomplishment. Can't wait for my next Backroads trip. My only problem is choosing which one!- New York, NY
Another amazing Backroads experience. This was my fourth trip, and without question, it was right up there with the others in terms of delivering - and surpassing - my expectations. Everything from the beauty of the terrain to the quaintness of the lodges to the friendly people was top-notch. I couldn't ask for a better vacation or a better way to experience the majesty of the Rockies.- San Francisco, CA
Incredible! Every detail was considered. My husband and I typically enjoy planning our own trips of this nature and yet it was clear that Backroads pays attention to detail, needs of their customers to insure a quality experience for us and professionalism by your guides. Thank you . . . everything was attended to by your quality and preparation of your guides and your service.- Phoenix, AZ

Rallies in cities across US decrying deportation
Phoenix • Dozens of immigration advocates and supporters are rallying in cities across the country in a renewed effort to push President Barack Obama to put a freeze on deportations.
Organizers of Saturday's "Day of Action" demonstrations say Obama has the executive power to stop deportations that separate immigrants living in the country illegally from their loved ones.
In Eloy, Ariz., numerous supporters have converged in front of a federal detention center after journeying more than 60 miles from Phoenix.
Organizers say many of those present have relatives who have been inside the facility for more than a year.
In March, Obama asked Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson to review enforcement practices to ease his administration's rate of deportations.
Under Obama's leadership, almost 2 million people have been removed from the U.S.

ALBANY - Six North Country veterans have filed a federal lawsuit in an effort to restore float plane access to remote Adirondack lakes.
Maynard Baker, Douglas Irish, Mark Schumaker, Ronald Dixon, Richard Kenny and Joseph Franklin filed suit Aug. 23, in United States District Court alleging state policies restricting float planes from landing and taking off from dozens of Adirondack lakes amount to discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Baker, a former town supervisor of Warrensburg, said 40 remote lakes were once open to seaplanes prior to 1972, when the State Land Master Plan was implemented, banning the use of motorized vehicles - including seaplanes - on lands classified as Wilderness, Primitive, or Canoe.
"The DEC and Adirondack Park Agency have said, 'you able-bodied people can still walk in and enjoy those lakes,' but the only means the disabled had, they took that away from them," said Baker. "That's discrimination."
All six plaintiffs in the case are classified as qualified disabled persons under the ADA, the suit says, and all have served in the military.
Baker said the suit was filed mainly with disabled veterans in mind, including those returning from recent service in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Our veterans deserve a lot more than they're getting," Baker continued. "There shouldn't be a square foot of the United States off limits to these special people, but they've done it."
The lawsuit names APA chairman Curt Stiles, DEC commissioner Pete Grannis, and Gov. David A. Paterson as defendants. It seeks an injunction against state regulation of aircraft operations within the Adirondack Park and seeks payment of legal fees.
Controversy surrounding the use of float planes on Adirondack lakes was evident in recent discussions within the DEC and APA regarding the Wilderness classification of Lows Lake, a man-made reservoir 10 miles southwest of Tupper Lake.

Nov. 6, 2004
Worcester, Mass. - In a position to spoil Bucknell University's chances at hosting a first round Patriot League tournament game, the Holy Cross men's soccer team gave up a 2-0 halftime advantage, and had to settle for a 2-2 tie on Saturday afternoon. The Crusaders finish their season at 7-6-2 (1-4-2 PL), while Bucknell's hopes for the second seed in the tournament stay alive with a 7-9-2 (4-2-1 PL) mark.
Holy Cross sophomore Josh Trott (Glen Cove, N.Y.) put the home team up 1-0 just 6:43 into the game when he blasted a shot from deep in the left corner to beat Bucknell keeper Joey Kuterbach at an unlikely angle. But the remaining 39 minutes of the half saw one missed opportunity after another for both squads. In the 11th minute, the Bison saw Scott Visnic's attempt to even the score deflect off the crossbar. Ten seconds after that, Trott received the ball at the opposite end of the field, dribbled around Kuterbach, and beat the last Bucknell defender, but missed a wide open net and a chance add to the lead.
Then in the 16th minute, Kuterbach made a fingertip save on Holy Cross sophomore Michael Coakley's attempt, when just over ten minutes later, Bucknell's Jonathan Hemmert missed an open net chance for the Bison.
Trott came back to give the Crusaders a 2-0 lead in the 40th minute when he ran onto a long pass from junior back Kevin Leonard and took advantage of a one v. one situation with Kuterbach and placed the ball to the lower left corner. Holy Cross then had what seemed to be another sure-goal when freshman Marsalis Beckford's shot, which was initially saved by Kuterbach, was bobbled and remained in play. Beckford then charged at the ball, but his header attempt hit the crossbar and Trott's shoulder attempt was called a handball just inches from the goal line.
The second half was a different story, as the Bison outshot the Crusaders 18-6, and all but took control of the game. Ori Adrabi cut the Crusader lead to one in the 75th minute when he beat a diving Richard Whipple. Holy Cross did everything they could to possess the ball, but could not get anything going offensively. Then, with under two minutes remaining in regulation, the Bison were awarded with a free kick just outside the 18-yard line. Jonathan Hemmert rifled a shot at Whipple, but the junior goalie lost control of the ball and saw it bounce into the back of the net.
The two teams played 20 minutes of overtime, but the score remained deadlocked when the final whistle blew.
The Patriot League Tournament will be held next weekend, November 12-14. Holy Cross has officially been eliminated from the post-season. The Crusaders end their season at 7-6-2, 1-4-2 in the league play.

Derrick Rose showed flashes of his pre-injury MVP-caliber form during his United Center return with Team USA on Saturday, and continues to draw high reviews from his USA coaches and teammates.
Rose admitted he's a 'totally different player' in July, but will it translate to an MVP-type season?
The ESPN Forecast panel — which consists of more than 210 members — recently ranked their top three MVP choices for 2014-15 and the experts are buying into Rose as a serious candidate.
[MORE: Derrick Rose thrills crowd in return to United Center]
Rose, who won the MVP award in 2011, accumulated 21 votes, ranking third only behind Cleveland's LeBron James (230 votes) and Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant (180).
The Bulls point guard averaged 15.0 PPG in just 10 games a year ago due to injury, and last appeared in an NBA game on Nov. 22, 2013 against the Portland Trail Blazers.
The panel also voted Pau Gasol as a top-5 newcomer during the upcoming season.
Note: A first-place vote received five points, a second-place vote received three, and a third-place vote received one.

Fashioning Felt
written by Susan Brown, Matilda McQuaid
Cooper-Hewitt Museum | ISBN 9780910503891
Paperback – 144 pages
Member's price: $63.00
Usually ships within 2–11 business days.
Felt is the oldest fabric known to mankind; its earliest examples date back to 6,500 B.C. In recent years, the fabric has found contemporary applications in an extraordinary range of fields, including product design, fashion, architecture and home furnishings. Felt's first revival in modern times occurred as a part of the fiber-arts movement of the 1970s; the 1990s saw a surge of innovations in its production, triggering the current resurgence of interest in the fabric. A combination of scholarly research into its history, the exploration of its technical applications and sustainability issues have inspired many leading artists and designers to work with felt. "Fashioning Felt" examines this recent explosion of interest. Published in conjunction with a major exhibition at the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, it presents handmade and commercially produced designs for felt, and explores through essays and full-color illustrations the material's rich history.

The MINI Cooper RS?
Sections: Uncategorized Jan 31st, 2003 No Comments
There's been several people recently that claim to have heard information on the new Cooper RS. The rumor is that it'll be a car that MINI produces in house and will have 200hp. Suspiciously it sounds a lot like the John Cooper Works MINI that was suppose to be sold through dealerships starting sometime later this year. That car also has 200hp.
Here are some of the latest threads (via minicooperonline.com):

REVIEW: Cloud Gate's 'Songs of the Wanderers' carries audience along on journey
Rice isn't just for eating anymore thanks to Cloud Gate Dance Theatre performers and choreographer/founder Lin Hwai-min. Instead, 31/2 tons of rice creates the landscape of a journey in Lin's "Songs of the Wanderers."
On Wednesday, judging from the fact that the majority of a packed Memorial Hall audience remained still and quiet throughout the 90-minute work, this trip takes the audience right along with these travelers..
Sounds of falling rice, of dancers' bodies landing on this grain and the swish as performers scoop it up and toss it, provide a natural score. Folk songs by the Ensemble Rustavi of Georgia support the sense of an epic journey as human beings, over the ages, search for a reason for living beyond mere existence.
Rituals pervade this journey to enlightenment. Performers use short tree branches with sprays of foliage to beat their bodies as though to purify themselves. One man dives into a pile of rice and splashes around in it to cleanse himself -- a baptism of sorts. Performers carry bowls of fire. At another point, they spin in place, an ancient ritual practiced by some cultures, including Sufi dervishes, as a way to connect with the divine. Even the small bells at the top of performers' staffs evoke the temple's call to prayer.
The monk figure personifies meditation and serves as a model of stillnss, a place to rest the eyes from all the action taking place elsewhere onstage. He stands to one side and at the front of the stage throughout the performance except for a few slight, almost imperceptible shifts -- forward when streams of rice hit him directly on his head -- and backward when it glances off his back. Otherwise, the rice falls between his body and his hands in prayer and causes his robe to billow.
This work draws one in, judging from my own response and the overall attentiveness of the audience. It's as though you lose track of time and feel surprised when the performance ends because it seems like a blink of the eye instead of the fact that 90 minutes has passed. It's as though I've been in a meditative state where I experience a feeling of calm and peace rare in this busy world.
There's also a section that elicits a response akin to enlightenment. This occurs when the lights come up onstage, the air fills with curtains of golden grain and performers exuberantly scoop up rice and fling it into wide arcs. It's as though a switch has been flipped on causing a feeling of release, a surge of euphoria, an awakening.
After a well-deserved standing ovation, the cast exits and a man enters with an extremely long-handled rake. Still under the spell of this work, the audience sits back down to witness his slow, sure sweeps thought deep drifts of rice that cover the stage. Over time -- perhaps as much as 10 minutes -- he creates a large, furrowed "wheel" of rice. Order is restored.

Thats correct, it will update your old version. It may reset your hack settings, not sure, best to check them.
WiiJohn great guide.
I was just wanting to clarify, I successfully modded my wii with softmodd any 3.1 - 4.1 wii guide, and my 4.1U wii has never been better.
I installed bootmii as boot2 and wanted to mess around with the new priiloader .4 rev 78.
so it sounds like this is the first version to not require "installing system menu to remove old priiloader, and then installing IOS60 patched again because the system menu install would have overwrote that to a new non patched one. finally proceding to install new priiloader."
so if i understand correctly since i am updating to rev 78 it will automatically overwrite rev 48 currently installed.
and I still use the same hacks.ini file i have been using.
Thats correct, it will update your old version. It may reset your hack settings, not sure, best to check them.
thanks for the quick reply WiiJohn.
gonna mess around with the new version tonight.
now i cane see all these duplicate channels.
and ??????? channels wich all seem to correspond to wad's that i installed, then moved to sd card. to save nand space.
if i remove these question mark channels with any title deleter will the games still play off my sd card?
and can i remove the duplicate system channels like forcast channel and photo channel, if so wich one of the two do i remove?
note... I do not have duplicate channels on my system menu, just in priiloader.
i have been using Title database - WiiBrew to figure out what all this is.
here's a picture if it works.

Ok, great guide. Just a couple of questions.
I have a modded Wii through the Twilight hack from yeseteryear, I've since updated to menu 4.2E using the safe update method. I have HBC the latest version. That's pretty much it, I don't have anything else on there, so if I read things right, I don't need to update to any menu as it the first steps. All I need to do is the following:
install IOS70-patched.wad – for 4.2 make sure you do this before you install Priiloader
Copy wad into SD\wad
Install with Wad manager or YAWM ??
Download Priiloader rev48 latest version 0.3b (rev48)
Copy directory to SD\apps
Get hacks.in file here,
Hacks.ini all
Edit text file, use lines with 482 for 4.2E
Save edited hacks.ini file to root of SD card
Go into HBC and select Priiloader, then load.
Press + to install.
When finished select 'system menu hacks' in the Priiloader menu
To start with just enable
'skip disc update check' and the region free ones .
save then go into settings
Autoboot = system menu
Return = system menu
To check Priiloader is working, power off, then on. You should go to system menu page.
Power off, then on, holding the reset button until Priiloader screen comes up.
Check you can exit to HBC.
If someone could answer the above then I'm going to go for it. Thanks.
I love this site!
Channels removed with data management often leave this trace behind. Check your properly displayed channels are not one of these ? ID's.
Use anytitle deleter to remove them.
Ok, so not done it yet and thanks for the really quick reply. I just download the priiloader, 0.4, rev78, but the directory structure looks a lot different to the previous, recommended version. Presumably the files should be like this:
SD Card Root:\apps\Priiloader_v0_4\priiloader
SD Card Root:\apps\Priiloader_v0_4\extra
SD Card Root:\apps\Priiloader_v0_4\GPL.txt
SD Card Root:\apps\Priiloader_v0_4\ReadMeh.txt
or should it be:
SD Card Root:\apps\priiloader
SD Card Root:\apps\extra
SD Card Root:\apps\GPL.txt
SD Card Root:\apps\ReadMeh.txt
and then load via HBC as previously suggested?
I love this site!
Thanks Wiijohn, the app is already named boot.dol straight from the d/l link provided. I'll get this set up in a bit and ready to go then I'll post back if it's a success. Thanks again! see you on the other side.....lol
I love this site!

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5, 2005 President Bush said today he's pleased with the progress Iraqis are making in developing a military capable of handling the security challenges of the future.
Bush spoke to the press following a meeting with Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld; Marine Gen. Peter Pace, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; and Army Lt. Gen. David Petraeus, former commander of Multinational Security Transition Command Iraq. Rumsfeld and the generals briefed the president on the status of Iraqi forces and coalition operations in Iraq.
Bush said the United States continues on the offensive against terrorists worldwide, and he warned that terrorists will try to disrupt Iraq's Oct. 15 constitutional referendum. He added that he is pleased with the progress Iraqi security forces are making. "They make a difference on the battlefield," the president said.
Roughly 192,100 members of the Iraqi security forces are trained and equipped. This includes 104,300 members of units under the Iraqi Ministry of Interior -- police, highway patrol, border patrol and other forces -- and 87,800 servicemembers under the Iraqi Ministry of Defense.
Recruiting for the Iraqi security forces is going well. Pentagon officials said insurgent and terrorist attacks have not stopped Iraqis from coming forward to serve their country.
Bush said he is encouraged by steps the Iraqis are taking to ensure a quality military force. "(There is a) quality-control program in place to make sure that the troops we train are capable of taking the fight to the enemy," he said. "Over 30 percent of the Iraqi troops are in the lead on these offensive operations."
When the coalition returned sovereignty to the Iraqis in June 2004, only one Iraqi battalion was capable of leading offensive operations, Pentagon officials said. Today, they noted, more than 30 Iraqi battalions are capable of leading counterinsurgency operations.
Coalition forces continue to provide higher-echelon support to Iraqi units. The Iraqis are just establishing division and higher level commands in their military, so coalition forces help with air support, logistics, maintenance and command and control, Pentagon officials said.
Other military support functions also must be set up within the Iraqi Ministry of Defense. These include: personnel, finance, intelligence, inspector general, and policy, officials said. All these are important to creating a truly independent military, but this does not mean that Iraqi brigades and battalions cannot take the fight to the enemy, officials said.
"I've told the American people all along that our troops will stay there as long as necessary," Bush said. "We will do the job; we will train these folks; and, as (the Iraqis) become more capable, we will be able to bring folks home with the honor they have earned."

After witnessing a distressing war in what is termed as the Switzerland of Pakistan and almost three years after the 18th Amendment was passed, the Malam Jabba Resort was devolved to the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa provincial government on Thursday.
A press release from the Tourism Corporation Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa on Friday read that the the decision has come as a pleasant surprise to all. The announcement comes just as the tourism season hits it peak.
The Malam Jabba Land Resort (MJRL) saw the light of the day due to the harmony, mutual cooperation and direct communication between the Federal government and provincial government of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
The General Manager Administration and Properties Sajjad Hameed stated that very soon the other properties will be transferred as well.
�Getting the ownership of Malam Jabba Land Resort is a remarkable achievement and is another feather in the cap of Tourism Corporation Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.�
Nine employees of the MJLR have also been transferred to the provincial government.
The Managing Director TCKP Tarik Jamil said that �TCKP is planning to establish a tented village on top of Malam Jabba to provide services and accommodation to adventure tourists�.
�Previously a PTDC Motel was constructed there but was later destroyed during the militancy era. Since time is short and the summer season has begun, a tented resort is being immediately planned to facilitate tourists, as accommodation facilities are already very scarce�.
Finalisation of the devolution process with regards to the transfer of MJRL as well as PTDC will be helpful for the better and effective management of these facilities for the promotion of tourism in the province.
The Minister for Tourism Mehmood Khan urged the federal government to also further accelerate the process of the distribution of assets and liabilities of PTDC on pre-devolution status on the projects of Pakistan Austria International Tourism Hotel Management (PAITHOM) and Department of Tourist Services (DTS) along with the Malam Jabba Land Resort.

I have a TV show that is on ABC Family that I think you may really enjoy. It's an excellent family show although I don't recommend it to children under thirteen. "Beautiful People" (Mondays, 8:00-9:00 PM, CST) is a drama about a mother and her two teenage daughters that move from a small town in New Mexico to New York City and follows their struggles of moving to a big city. The show stars Daphne Zuniga from "Melrose Place" and two newcomers Sarah Foret and Torrey DeVitto.

Beautiful People : ABC Family May Just Have a Hit on Their Hands
In ABC Family's new drama Beautiful People, veteran actress Daphne Zuniga plays Lynn Kerr, a fashion designer who reinvents her life by moving from Esperanza, NM to New York after a nasty divorce from her husband Daniel, portrayed in recent episodes by Grant Show, Zuniga's on-screen love interest in the 90's show Melrose Place. When Zuniga's character, Lynn, finds herself accepting favors, among other things, from college sweetheart Julian Fiske, played by James McCaffrey, things start to get a little complicated.

Solorz-Zak to Buy Polkomtel for $5.5 Billion in Record Deal
July 1 (Bloomberg) -- Billionaire Zygmunt Solorz-Zak agreed to buy Polkomtel SA, Poland's second-largest mobile-phone company, for 15.1 billion zloty ($5.5 billion) in a record acquisition by a Polish investor.
Shareholders including Vodafone Group Plc signed a preliminary accord to sell the Warsaw-based company to Solorz-Zak late yesterday. The price excludes about 3 billion zloty of debt and dividend due to current owners. Solorz, who started Poland's first private television network in 1992, three years after the fall of the Communist regime, will finance the deal with cash and debt, he said in a statement.
Polkomtel will help Solorz-Zak, 54, tap rising demand for bundled phone, Internet data and TV services in the most populous country among the European Union's eastern members. Ranked by Forbes magazine as the second-wealthiest Pole, Solorz-Zak will use Polkomtel's network to accelerate building a high-speed wireless system to take on France Telecom SA's Orange.
"The biggest player on the market has just been created," Pawel Puchalski, an analyst at Bank Zachodni WBK SA, said by phone, citing other Solorz-Zak assets including Cyfrowy Polsat SA, Poland's second-largest TV network, and investment companies he is using to build Poland's first fourth-generation network.
'Reasonable Price'
Polkomtel shareholders have been trying to sell their shares in the mobile-phone company since at least 2003. Besides Vodafone, the world's No. 1 wireless carrier, they include oil refiner PKN Orlen SA, power utility PGE SA, copper producer KGHM Polska Miedz SA and coal trader Weglokoks SA.
The purchase price gives Polkomtel an enterprise value of 18.1 billion zloty, or 6.4 times the company's 2010 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Deals involving European wireless assets as targets fetched a median multiple of 9 times in the past five years, according to Bloomberg data.
Polkomtel reported Ebitda of 2.83 billion zloty last year. It forecast in April that 2011 earnings will be little changed.
"It looks like a reasonable price," said Michal Marczak, an analyst at BRE Bank SA. "But it seems it doesn't include control premium."
Solorz-Zak, who also controls Invest-Bank SA, pension fund PTE Polsat SA and power utility ZE PAK SA, needs to win antitrust approval for the transaction by the end of this year, Polkomtel shareholders said. Forbes estimates his assets at 7.2 billion zloty.
High-Speed Network
Polkomtel plans to raise about $4.9 billion of loans and bonds to fund the buyout, two people with direct knowledge of the deal said today. The financing comprises senior and subordinated debt, they said.
Aero 2 Sp. z o.o. and Mobyland So. z o.o., both owned by Solorz-Zak, are the first Polish companies to start building a wireless Internet network based on long-term evolution, or LTE, technology. Aero will invest 1 billion zloty to cover all of Poland, Chief Executive Officer Adam Kurianski said yesterday.
Polkomtel, the operator of the Plus brand, has about 14 million customers for voice and Internet services. It competes with Deutsche Telekom AG's Polska Telefonia Cyfrowa and France Telecom SA's Telekomunikacja Polska SA unit, which is Poland's biggest mobile-phone operator.
"Telekomunikacja and Deutsche Telekom will be left behind" as far as high-speed wireless Internet is concerned, said Piotr Janik, an analyst at KBC Securities NV.
Polish Proceeds
Polkomtel's current Polish owners, all state-controlled, may need to share the profits from the sale with the government after Treasury Minister Aleksander Grad said in April that passing "a significant share" of the sale proceeds to the government is the "right direction."
Orlen is raising cash to invest in oil exploration and production. PGE is spending 38.9 billion zloty on projects including new power plants, while KGHM plans to invest a record 10.9 billion zloty this year.
For Vodafone, the deal completes CEO Vittorio Colao's plan to unwind part of its portfolio in Europe and Asia. Vodafone said its 24 percent holding in Polkomtel will fetch about 920 million euros ($1.3 billion) in cash, which will go toward repaying debt.
Vodafone Exit
Under Colao, Vodafone has sold a stake in China Mobile Ltd. and reduced its interests in Japan's Softbank Corp. This month, it completed the sale of its 44 percent holding in French wireless operator SFR for 7.95 billion euros. Newbury, England-based Vodafone also has a 45 percent stake in Verizon Wireless, the largest U.S. wireless provider,
"This seems to be a happy ending," said Robin Bienenstock, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein who has an "outperform" rating on Vodafone shares. "This would be the end of the cleanup of its portfolio."
Vodafone slipped 0.8 percent to 164.05 pence at 9:23 a.m. in London.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc., ING Groep NV, Nomura Holdings Inc. and Rothschild advised Polkomtel's sellers, while Trigon Dom Maklerski SA, Deutsche Bank AG and Credit Agricole SA advised Solorz-Zak.
Credit Agricole and Deutsche Bank AG managed the financing of deal for Solorz-Zak, while Societe Generale SA, Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc and PKO Bank Polski SA also took part in funding, according to a statement from the billionaire.

Materials: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reference: Much of the information below came from the EPA's waste management website. Some of the information about material also came from Earth 911's website.
There will be a list of materials in this section of the website that can be accessed under the Materials: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle section on the Solid Waste Management Information tab. Clicking on each type of material (currently in purple) will lead you to a page listing the resources for that specific material.

Disaster Debris
Ideas for recycling disaster debris: Green waste, such as trees and shrubs, can be recycled into valuable organic material, such as compost or mulch.
Additional information on disaster debris
Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, it is the responsibility of the generator (the person who creates the waste) to "characterize" the waste (determine if it is hazardous) and to manage it appropriately. If your facility generates more than 7-8 computers in a month (assuming you have no other hazardous waste), you will fall into the category of "Small Quantity Generator." If you have many more computers, you could be a "Large Quantity Generator." This makes you subject to RCRA requirements. In this case, you can be subject to civil and criminal penalties if you were to send these computers to the landfill in regular trash or to break them intentionally as part of disposal. You need to recycle these. If you recycle, the computers will not be treated as a hazardous waste, under a new proposed CRT (cathode ray tube) rule.

Categories of Paper
Although shredded paper is not a separate grade of paper, shredded paper can be recycled (usually as a mixed grade) as long as it is shredded to an appropriate size and does not contain an unacceptable level of contaminants, such as plastics. Collection program coordinators who want to recycle shredded paper should check with their contract hauler to determine appropriate shred size and level of contamination acceptable for recycling.
Some types of plastic can be recycled by your local recycling contractor.
Different types of plastic can be identified using resin identification codes, represented by numbers on the bottom of plastic containers:

Scrap tires, as a solid waste, are regulated primarily by state governments. Currently, 48 states have laws or regulations specifically dealing with scrap tires.

Used Motor Oil (and Used Oil Filters)
Used oil can be re-refined into lubricants, processed into fuel oils, and used as raw materials for the refining and petrochemical industries. Used oil filters contain reusable scrap metal, which steel producers can use as scrap feed.
Wooden Pallets
There are often local businesses that will collect, repair and/or recycle pallets. Here are a few examples of companies with these types of services.

Updated: Pre-Order your iPhone 4 now in the online Apple Store!
Those of us actually awake here at TiPb - namely me - wanted to give you a heads up and let you know that you can now pre-order your black only iPhone 4 in the online Apple store. Head on over to the Apple online store and get your order in to guarantee your device arrives on June 24th!
And what happened to the white iPhone 4 is a pretty good question that hopefully Apple will answer sooner rather than later...
Update: If you've unsuccessfully been trying to order your iPhone 4 via the Apple site, hit up this AT&T link as many of you are having much better luck there.
Have something to say about this story? Leave a comment! Need help with something else? Ask in our forums!

Updated: Pre-Order your iPhone 4 now in the online Apple Store!
i keep getting "your session expired." ugh!
@Ethan: oh good, I'm not alone
The spinner just keeps on spinning for me too. Been like, 15 minutes now.
The only article about not having the white iPhone mentioned that it was only AT&T that would not have it for pre-order, but now it looks like Apple wont be selling it either. I can only assume that Apple did not manufacture enough of them and they will be selling them at the stores on the 24th as first come first serve.
finally my information is being processed...waiting...waiting.waiting
did anyone get the e-mail that they were ready to order?
@Ker~Man: i hope not that would not be good
@At&t Rep HAHA and Im Steve Jobs order keeps trying I say
No go I wanted white dang it. :( Apple you have some explaining to do.
AT&T Rep,
Why couldn't AT&T be prepared? Did you really think no one would try hitting the Apple site to order one as soon as it was up? Kind of ridiculous, you guys are never prepared for anything.
Don't let these guys bs you they just want you to give up so they can get their phones
has anyone tried transferring a verizon account phone number? i've been on the processing window for almost 20 mins now
i tried calling apple and a while ago it said business opens at 5am
Yeah, mighty tough getting through. Got to the order part once, entered the credit card, etc. But then the cart died. :( Finally just set it to reserve a spot at the local Apple store. The shipping only goes to the billing address anyways (so I can't have it delivered to my work address... :( ).
after 1 hour, i decided to try ordering in a separate safari tab without trying to transfer my verizon information...now in ADD TO CART! ...ONLY TO GET BUMPED AGAIN! ! ARGH!
That is bizarre. I am premier too which is why i think it wasnt working on Apple's site. the iphone 4 was listed at the very bottom of the page. They charged me an $18 upgrade fee which i think is supposed to be waived but i will fight that battle another day.
I did get a confirmation with my activation codes and order confirmation, etc.
UG I am stuck at processing your request.....GRRRR
Stuck in the processing info on Apple but AT&T it's easier to order, but I don't trust them to ship on the 24th, below is what I found, i'll keep trying Apple but might do AT&T as a last resort
Pre-orders for iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS 8G will be processed to arrive as early as June 24, 2010, if submitted by 2 p.m. ET, June 22, 2010. The actual shipment date and receipt of your order is not guaranteed and may be subject to delays for reasons that include, but are not limited to, product availability, inventory, credit issues, number porting or carrier delays, and completion of other required AT&T business processes.
processing information... like everyone else :(
EVERYONE. My old contact (which ended last month) had me at 99.99 for unlimited voice which they are trying to stick me with AGAIN, I can see no option to change my voice plan even though I am out of contract. The new price for unlimited voice is 69.99 isn't. BE CAREFUL NO ONE AGREES TO THIS 99.99 CRAP THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO SLIP PAST YOU.
well no email, but money has gone from my account and the order shows as being processed in my account... always disconcerting when your browser craps out at the last stage of a purchase ... :S
I have been trying for an hour now. Now Apple's site gives me
with a list of errors when I select a phone
been at this for 90 minutes and STILL havent gotten to order one yet :(
I'm right there with you Csullivan1980. I just reached the 60 min mark and it's still processing information. =\
Worked perfect haha!
Haha suckers!!! Drink my kool-aid.
Steve Jobs
- Sent from my iPhone 4
AT&T won't let you pre-order if your billing address and shipping address do not match.. wtf.. I want it delivered to my work!!
aargh... looks like it works now, but session keeps expiring.
okay, got the processing information page, again. it was speedy, now let's see....
AT&T Premier site worked in less than a minute in case any of you has FAN account and are waiting on apple.com....in for one!
I was able to have it shipped to my job jockey. Maybe case of the premier ordering.
Spinning again after I select my voice, data and text plans...
@StayThirsty thanks for the info, yeah probably because of premier account, I'll just stick with Apple.
btw for ppl thinking about reserving at a store. confirmation message says
"Thanks for reserving your iPhone for pickup at the Apple Retail Store on June 24 starting at 7:00 a.m. You'll receive an email confirmation shortly and we'll have your iPhone ready and waiting for you when you come in to the store to pick up and pay."
I finally got through to reserve the phone and it says There are no reservations available for apple store pick up. So the only option is shipping. But I don't want it shipped!! I'm pissed!!
Sweet just got my in store reservation completed for the 32gb iPhone4 at the upgrade price of 299 now I can go to bed after I get the confirmation email that is :-)
WTF ... got all the way to add to cart then OOPS
It's amazing how they get away with it, sometimes.
It's like when Jobs was having problems with the WiFi in the Keynote last week. How were they not prepared for that many people being connected? How did they not have a dedicated connection for the iPhone demo?
Same thing here, how do they not know how many people will be doing this now?
Thanks, Tim. I think I'll stick with Apple. Even with server issues, I trust them more. Worked for me last year, it'll work for me now.
Also, everyone continuing to tell us to use AT&T, we're all in the same position, aren't we? We're all both trying to pre-order the iPhone and checking these comments at the same time, right? We obviously know our options at this point, and have made our choice to either stick with Apple ordering or try AT&T.
hey the sun is up!
Omg just order it at www.att.com it went through first try for me after 3 hours on apples sh*t site. Confirmed email and all goodnight
Store is back up
Noooooooooooooooooo! I just got the sticky note back saying "We'll Be Back Soon!"
Damn... i got through to the Add to cart page again, didn't work and now they put up a "We'll be back soon" page!!
What a nightmare!!! At 1:00am I spent 1 1/2 hours getting non responsive loops, timeout errors (that happen after only a few minutes) and Apple OOPS! Errors. After trying again and again and again 50 times (really) I was finally able to get my orders to take. This is BIG BIG BIG. If you want this gem, I suggest you order as quickly as possible. I suspect once the east coast wakes up it's going to get much much worse.
Just don't give up. If it takes more than 2 minutes, start over. It works if you start over rather than just waiting for a response.
@Peter - Sounds like you are a hardcore fanboy. You should not pre-order and just get in line at the Apple store to get the "experience" or whatever.
Everyone else, why are some of you fanboy's so crazy that you wouldn't order the same product from AT&T (or anywhere else)....Don't be like Peter....break out of your everything Apple store cycle, because in the end, its the same result! :-) I got nothing but <3 for you Peter
TWO HOURS! FOR THIS?! I am very disappointed.
I don't recommend ordering via ATT. When you need service later, Apple gives you the kiss off. You get all around better treatment if you order your phone via Apple rather than via ATT. At least that's been my experience.
Anyone got the "We'll be back soon" sticky for the apple store?
I don't know who @Timber is, but apparently he's a fan of mine.
Dude, I'm not a fanboy. I just happen to be up, so what the hell else am I going to do with my time if I can't sleep? You'd never see me anywhere near a line. Couldn't pay me.
Only reason I'm sticking with Apple is because it worked last year and I got my phone in time. I, like many others, have had bad experiences dealing with iPhone issues through AT&T. It's called using prior experience to inform my current decision.
We are working on a database issue between our servers and Apple's. Due to unforeseen issues, if you attempted to place your order prior to 5:30am ET then you will be unable to place another order until June 16 (provided supplies last).
All AT&T orders placed today will be fulfilled and shipped for June 24
Peter....here in Philly in the wry same boat!!! Since 4 A.M. And no luck!!! This Blows!!
The confirmation says will be fulfilled on June 24 and shipped on a first come first serve basis.
My guess is there is a good chance it does not arrive until the 25th. So depends on how hard core you are I guess. For me, being premiere AT&T, I have no choice since I won't wait in a line on launch day (have to work).
My local AT&T rep said he could have my unit at the store late on June 24 if I chose. But I'm fine getting it that Friday.
From my AT&T email:
Thank you for your purchase from the AT&T Premier Online Store. We're pleased with your choice of AT&T as your wireless service provider.
Pre-orders will be fulfilled beginning June 24, 2010. Orders will ship on a first-come, first-served basis. We will notify you by email when your order ships. Your order may be subject to AT&T eligibility and credit requirements. If we have any questions about your eligibility or your order, we will contact you via email.
then they gave a bunch of links and activation codes.
I managed to get mine reserved right before 3am PST. I had both my mac and PC trying to reserve. The mac went thru while the PC was on the damn Spinning wheel for over an hour and nothing.
"on June 15, 2010 at 6:11 am, Patrick asks:
For people who pre ordered through AT&T, do they say it will be delivered to your door on the 24th???"
A person posted earlier this caveat from AT&T:
Pre-orders for iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS 8G will be processed to arrive as early as June 24, 2010, if submitted by 2 p.m. ET, June 22, 2010. The actual shipment date and receipt of your order is not guaranteed and may be subject to delays for reasons that include, but are not limited to, product availability, inventory, credit issues, number porting or carrier delays, and completion of other required AT&T business processes.
I'm an AT&T Premier customer, and I can't even see the iPhone 4 on the upgrade page on AT&T's website. Yet, if I want to sign up as a new customer, it's the easiest process in the world. Anyone find it funny that AT&T can't handle the customers who use them the most?
Apple has been a massive disappointment the whole night. Somehow I was able to reserve one at the store for the 24th, but I want it shipped to me. (7am sucks.)
Just did Pre-Order from Apple.com pissed that the white version isnt available. Oh well, got a black one. Going to Apple store later to confirm my pre-order because last time I did a pre-order on line and went to pick it up they sat there scratching their heads had no clue what I was talking about, dont want to risk not getting one, so as soon as the mall opens I'll be there making sure my pre-order REALLY exists this time!! Ugghh incompetence!! WHERE IS THE WHITE VERSION :-( I really wanted that instead.
Oh shut up already. No one cares about your geezer ass. And if you decided in the 90's that you weren't going to comment on website, then why are you still doing it? So how about you quit riding Apple's dick and get a life. And I hope you're aren't able to get an iPhone 4 on the 24th. Just so you can't brag to all your friends about being the "first" to have it, because you know that's your sole purpose to get it on day one. Good day, Dr. Faggot.
Yes people... we know it takes 10min to order from AT&T...
* Some can't order from AT&T because the iPhone 4 doesn't display as an option
* Some want better guarantees getting the phone on 24th and hence order through Apple
We are all proud of those that realized you can order from multiple places. Pretty soon phones will open, stores will open as other options to preordering.
Damn.. still cant add to cart... this is annoying!
why is the iphone 3gs a Pre-Order too?
now i cant past the Oops screen!
for the almost 3 hours i've been trying to get an iphone 4 i hope i get something out of ths
Scored my reservation after 3 attempts at 2:30 am PT. A friend just emailed me his iPhone screen snap of the Apple.com reservation page showing the error page "Oops!".
VERY SLOW!!! I would love to know how many pre-orders they get today. Apple.com was moving at the speed of erosion...and the first few times it stated "cant access your information at this time". BUT gave me the option to put one in my cart for $699....how nice of them. Anywhoo.....I kept trying and it finally let me thru. Stores open at 7am.
Great blog story headline: "Oops!"
this is an odd question but is anyone else experiencing playback issues with youtube videos or anything like that with safari 5. i've had a lot of time on here and just noticed nothing is playing
ARGH the site is down again!!!!!
@bsangs You aren't telling anyone anything new here... read the previous comments.
@Ian I have a Premier account and I was able to get past qualifications and to the cart before I got the Oops page and the site went down. AT&T doesn't list the iPhone 4 as an option on the Premier site. Some people have reported that it has worked for them.

text: Andrew and I took pictures of Jackie a few weeks ago. She was a super awesome senior to shoot. We did your conventional "yearbook" style portraits and then just played. She recently just shaved her head, something that hits home. Jackie, you are a dear, sweet kindred spirit. Thanks for letting us take your picture.

Date: 1 February 2014
Time: 12 noon
Location: Cassell Coliseum, Blacksburg, Va.
Television: ESPN3
Spread: Maryland (-5.0)
And so it begins for Maryland. The toughest stretch of the team's season so far--four of the next five games on the road including matchups with UNC, Florida State, Virginia, and Duke--and it all begins with Virginia Tech on Saturday.
Preview the action below.
Virginia Tech's length vs. Maryland's front line
Head coach Mark Turgeon made it a point when talking to the media on Friday that the Hokies have a complement of players on the front line that will pose a challenge for his Terrapins on the interior.
There isn't necessarily a dominant rebounder in the bunch, but together they rank in the Top 50 nationally in that category. At 6-10, Joey Van Zegeren is the tallest of the ground, flanked by Jarell Eddie (highlighted below), Marshall Wood, and Trevor Thompson all averaging close to or above four rebounds per game.
For Maryland, that means Shaquillle Cleare, Charles Mitchell, and Jonathan Graham all need to stay out of foul trouble.

Dez Wells, guard
There is nothing more Maryland could have asked of Dez Wells in the second half of the team's win over Miami. He scored 21 points in the final 20 minutes, including a perfect 7-of-7 shooting mark from the field and 6-of-6 from the line.
Oh, and he hit the game-winning shot with under 10 seconds to play.
The question now is what that means for Saturday. We have seen on more than one occasion this season when Wells takes over in the second half and pushes the team to a win or--in the case of Maryland's second game against Pittsburgh--almost does.
So why does it always happen at the end of games? Will we see a more balanced distribution of Wells' shots, instead of a few in the first and a takeover in the second? Saturday might provide that answer.
Jarell Eddie, forward
At 6-7, 220 pounds, Jarell Eddie is Virginia Tech's most complete player. He leads the team in points (14.9) and rebounds (5.9) per game.
This is a young basketball team and Eddie, a senior, has had to help fill the shoes left by the departure of guard Erick Green at the end of last season. The focus for Maryland defensively should be keeping tabs on him on the perimeter, where he shoots greater than 40 percent, but also not allowing him to get to the line off the dribble.
The more shots he has to take to get to his nearly 15 points per game, the better.
This is a Virginia Tech team that started 7-3. It is 1-9 since, with its only win coming against Maryland-Eastern Shore. This is the same situation Maryland faced when it traveled to Raleigh to play NC State (even before it was announced that star forward TJ Warren would not play in that game).
Maryland has to have this game. This is the defining stretch of this season. The Terrapins at the very least have to finish 2-3 during these five games. A win over Virginia Tech has to be the start. Find two definite wins out of UNC, Virginia, Florida State, and Duke. Right. That's what makes this game a must-win.
