A W E S O M E. I have a few movies to put on my 'to see' list just in time for Halloween. Scooby doo is so done, and Charlie Brown is always checked out- thank you.

Great list Heather! I'm intimately acquainted with Bowler Hat Guy. (I got to work on the stereoscopic part of Meet the Robinsons and Goob was my favorite character.) A very underrated movie if you ask me. And Darla Dimple is incredibly evil. I'll have to check out the others!

I'm 3 for 7! (Darla Dimple, Bowler Hat Guy, and Ravenhearst). I actually just saw the Court Jester a few weeks ago for the first time. Anyway, awesome list!

Teatime is a very creepy villain. I'm glad to see Terry Pratchett was not overlooked for this list. It's hard to find a villain who would try and go after characters like the tooth fairy, the bogeyman, the Hogfather (analogue of Saint Nicholas), and even Death himself with such a cold ruthlessness.

I am pretty sure the ios58 was mentioned, (i believe that is the one that really allowed the extra data communication between the USB port and USB devices anyway. Beatles Rock Band I think). Besides that on the install instructions for usb loader gx you mention when browsing to the custom paths for the devolution you say pick "usbloader_gx". Did you mean "gc_devo" ? It was towards the end of the Paragraph. I am also trying to load the games from my SD card because I don't have many retail games left. A couple of years ago I used a program called Wii Dumper to dump all my Gamecube games over wifi through Firefox. I saved them all to an external hard drive and gave my discs away. Dumb move on my part.
I thought I did mention IOS 58 was needed in the guide, I'll look back as I edited it a little tonight. Perhaps I just assumed everyone has it since it is installed by our Softmod ANY Wii guide lol. Either way it's a great IOS to have, even if you don't use Devolution other apps are greatly benefited by it as well (WiiMC, Snes9x GX and FEC Ultra to name a few).Originally Posted by ss4rob
Depending on exactly which sentence you're referring to I believe I did mean "usbloader_gx" as, with my provided USB GX attachment, that is the folder which has Devolutions loader.bin.Originally Posted by bagdad319
I will look over the full guide as I edit it later to make sure I didn't mistype and make any corrections if necessary.
Edit: After taking a quick look at the USB GX section of the guide I'm can confirm I did mean it as the guide is typed. The way I've written the guide and set up the attachments the Devolution loader.bin is stored under "sd/apps/usbloader_gx". Though you can freely move this loader.bin to just about any folder you want I placed it where I did for ease of convenience. This way here no one has to download multiple attachments to get everything.
Each loader section I wrote was written to be standalone so you don't have to follow each spoiler section for all the loaders just to setup one of them nor do you need to download the attachments for all the loaders either (only the one(s) you want to use).

This was a really great tutorial! I did get usbloader gx and CleanRip to work flawlessly, and successfully copied all my original wii and gamecube games to external usb. All are working fine on a "borrowed" wii... I have three wii's: (1) a previously new wii, now with a broken drive; (2) a new blue wii (not gamecube compatible and I didn't know that until too late); and (3) a borrowed wii. I borrowed the wii from a neighbor (the two wii's I'm working with are both 4.3u). I did all the homebrew, usbloader gx, CleanRip, stuff, for both wii's. I completed the homebrew hack (using another great "wizard" by xflak called ModMii). I followed all of your installation instructions and spent several hours copying my disks, using either usbloader gx for the wii games and the cleanrip process for the gamecube disks. I thought that since my wii drive was broken, but the controller I/O's all still worked, I could use the "borrowed" wii because my wii had the broken drive. After doing all this copying, I was aware that usbloader gx was updating all these configuration files in the apps folder, so I figured I could just copy that complete sd\apps\usb-loader\ folder to a new sd card with the same versions of homebrew, loader and cleanrip, etc. It seemed to work too; the usbloader gx menues all look good, wii games play fine, but the game cube games just sit there on a black screen while the gamecube blinks twice, continuously, I guess expecting for me to insert the gamecube disk that I did already on the borrowed wii. As I said my broken wii is gamecube compatible (has the gamecube i/o ports, and will play the games), but I did all the copying and reinsterting game cube disks onto the borrowed wii. Do you have any suggestions? I am in a good place for troubleshooting anything, I have swapped out sd cards to/from my wii and the borrowed wii. On the borrowed wii everthing works fine, no matter which sd card I use, both wii and gamecube games are read directly from usb, no problem.
You did everything correct, don't worry. The issue is that the creator of Devolution is extremely OCD about anti-piracy, so it will detect and require re-verification of discs if you use a different USB drive/SD card or a different Wii system.
In theory, you could get around the issue by cracking open both your broken Wii and the borrowed Wii, temporarily swap the DVD drives, and then verifying the discs on your old Wii. However I don't know if you'd be up to such a task...
All you need to do is barrow the friends good Wii again, verify the discs with his system but use YOUR SD/USB device, now after verifying the games plug the SD/USB back into your own Wii and try loading a game. Do NOT copy paste any files between drives, this will lead to failure. If you do it as I've just described it should work without issue (back before I got my drive replaced this worked for me).
If that doesn't work for some reason the only thing you can do is A) get your Wii drive fixed or B) keep trying to verify the games using your Wii and hope you get lucky (believe it or not I was able to verify a few of my games with a dying drive so it's possible but will take a long time).
As far as I've been able to tell disc verification (the DVV files) are generated based only off the SD/USB device and the game disc, not the system itself. I've reached this conclusion based off verifying my games with a friends Wii using my USB device and SD card. After plugging the SD & USB back into my Wii I was not asked to verify my game. Of course Devolution may have been updated to prevent this but as of r159 it does work.
Likewise you should be able to play your verified ISOs on a friends softmodded Wii as long as you plug your USB and SD card in. Hope all this info helps
Last edited by SNES_Master; 04-03-2013 at 03:21 PM.
Yeah, last time I tested it out I only had to verify on 1 system. As long as I used the same USB & SD devices in the other Wii I wasn't prompted to verify the games again.Originally Posted by Nintendo Maniac 64
Like I said, it may have been changed by now so if someone else wants to try it and confirm that'd be cool.
You sure you don't mean "same USB OR SD device"?
Well, I suspect the SD can be different since all it stores for Devo is the boot.dol or loader.bin, but I can't confirm that. All I know is when I borrowed a friends Wii (he wanted me to Softmod it for him) I was able to rip & verify my games using his Wii with my SD card and USB hard drive, then plug those into my already modded Wii and play the GC games via Devolution without being forced to re-verify the games. So my theory, which again I cannot entirely confirm, is that the DVV files store data based only on the game disc/ISO and USB device. It's unlikely that the SD needs to be the same but since I can't be sure of it I didn't want to rule it out.Originally Posted by Nintendo Maniac 64
Edit: also a small correction, earlier I said when I tried this I did so with r169...I mistyped, I used 159 when I did this.

How about police lecturing their parents on the dangers of NOT keeping an eye on their children ?
Maybe the kids could do this on water street and fill all the pot holes.
If my mother found me in the street, she would have beat my A s s. And if the cops took me home and told her what I was doing it would have been even WORSE. The parents in this story are probably the same parents that would SUE the heck out of someone if their child was HIT while playing in the road. Crying how their child never would have been in the road and how it was the car's fault.
Forget background checks and/or licensing for guns, and conduct background checks and license PARENTS! (Which, come to think of it, would solve a LOT of things, including a certain amount of gun crime...)
Not to mention the pi$$ and whatever else is on the road !!
Were these kids on assistance? Mama & papa need a nap , April 1st. was food card day, worn out parents from all that shopping on your dime.
I like their innovation, leave them alone!

Completed Enhancements
Lebuh Raya SPRINT provides three links in its alignment to meet these objectives. These three links are the Kerinchi Link, the Damansara Link and Penchala Link.
There are 13 interchanges on Lebuh Raya SPRINT, which are Penchala, Taman Tun Dr. Ismail, Mont Kiara, Duta, Sri Hartamas, Intan, Kayu Ara, Section 17, Taman Tun Dr. Ismail Bypass, Kiara, Maarof, Semantan and Kerinchi. There are also three Toll Plazas on the Lebuh Raya SPRINT, one on each of the Links which are Pantai Toll Plaza on Kerinchi Link, Jalan Damansara Toll Plaza on Damansara Link and Bukit Kiara Toll Plaza on Penchala Link.
This RM1.3 billion SPRINT highway also provides three kilometres of toll-free road as an alternative to the residents who live in Section 16 and 17 in Petaling Jaya. In addition, the SPRINT Highway is equipped with 18 close circuit televisions (CCTV) at some critical juntions. Another 14 CCTVs are placed on the Penchala Tunnel. The presence of these CCTVs has enabled traffic controllers to monitor live traffic situation to spot accident or vehicle breakdown. Considering that it cannot afford to have too many lanes for the toll collection, the Manual Tandem System has been installed at its toll booth to hasten the toll collection process. Where safety is concerned, the Kerinchi Link is the only highway in Malaysia equipped with Speed Indicator Display (SID) to remind the drivers in the event they are exceeding speed limit.
Lebuh Raya SPRINT is landscaped in line with the Governments Landscaping The Nation guidelines, the purpose of which is to green and beautify the highway. Lebuh Raya SPRINT has been planted with trees and shrubs on side-shoulders, medians, and around interchanges and toll plazas. Lebuh Raya SPRINTs landscaping programme was implemented on a relocate-and-grow during construction concept. This method is adopted to maximise the relocating and transplanting of the existing greenery and landscaping and also to minimise disruption to the environment and will not be relocated based on the guidelines of the authorities.
Kerinchi Link is the first double deck highway structure in Malaysia with the northbound traffic on the lower deck and the southbound traffic on the upper deck with a toll plaza on each deck. The toll plaza is staggered to provide for additional toll lanes. For instance, the Kerinchi Link and Damansara Link, both opened in 2001, have a total of 14km of viaduct and 10 elevated interchanges. Both links are equipped with noise barrier to reduce the noise level from affecting residents who live close to the highway.
Penchala Tunnel is the true icon of SPRINT Highway . The 700 meter tunnel is located between Kiara Interchange and TTDI Interchange on Penchala Link and is the widest in Malaysia so far. It has three lanes on each bound and is designed with grandeur Moorish architecture. Interestingly, the RM150 million tunnel is also fitted with 14 jet fans to blow the smoke out of the tunnel, intelligent lighting system, emergency platform, three cross passages (to be used in case of fire or emergency in the tunnel), CCTVs and emergency telephones. To avoid water from leaking, the tunnel was furnished with a water proofing membrane during its construction. This tunnel will minimise the land take and minimise the disruption to the environment during construction, i.e., the best way to preserve the ecology and environment in the area.
With the completion of Lebuh Raya SPRINT, the much needed road network to relieve congestion and to cater for increase traffic in the west of Kuala Lumpur is now available. It will also spur growth and developments in the west of Kuala Lumpur. With its grand design and latest technology, it is no surprise that the SPRINT Highway has always gained admiration from foreign delegations who wish to learn more about the construction and operation of urban highways.
Pavement Rehabilitation
- Embarked in 2011- Cost at RM17 mil over 5 years (2010-2015)- The first phase will cover 10% from the total length of the highway (28.3km)- Major repair works is at Federal Highway at Kerinchi Interchange

NC-based charity houses missionaries from Africa
CHARLOTTE — A Charlotte-based charity says it has brought back to the U.S. missionaries who served in Liberia during the Ebola outbreak but only after they had been tested and did not have the deadly disease.
The Charlotte Observer reports (http://bit.ly/1o6TVjF) that SIM said two missionaries, along with six children, returned to the U.S. on Sunday.
Before leaving Liberia, SIM said all were cleared by infectious disease medical experts to fly on commercial flights and received medical checkups upon their return.
Dr. Marcus Plescia, director of the Mecklenburg County Health Department, said he was notified Friday by state health officials that SIM would be bringing missionaries from Liberia to the county.
"Quite frankly, those returning to the U.S. need a temporary sanctuary where they can rest, relax and be loved on by other members of the SIM family," SIM USA President Bruce Johnson said. "Media interest has been high, and we ask that their privacy be protected."
A nurse working for SIM contracted Ebola and is expected back in the U.S. for treatment on Tuesday.
A specially equipped medical plane left for Liberia on Sunday to evacuate Nancy Writebol, who is to be taken to an isolation unit at Emory Hospital in Atlanta that was set up in collaboration with the nearby U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Dr. Kent Brantly, a physician working with Boone-based Samaritan's Purse, arrived at the hospital Saturday.

I had the unthinkable happen today. My entire Adobe Creative Suite quit working. Two hours on the phone with Umesh at Adobe customer support got things up and running and a reinstall of everything seem to do the trick. Thanks for fixing that problem Adobe. I do appreciate it. The only problem was that Umesh, via remote desktop, cleared my entire Adobe product catalog, which also included a copy of InDesign CS4 which I no longer have the install CD for. Emails and phone calls back to Adobe yielded no results and to be quite honest I was tired of being on the phone.
Fortunately, if you own a legit copy of Adobe products they keep records of your serial numbers on products you have purchased from them and registered. A simple login at Adobe will get you to this info. Next I went to download another copy of InDesign CS4 from Adobe to punch in my serial number on. No such luck. Adobe removes all links to old versions. We are now on to CS5.
Another stroke of luck brought me to someone's site who did some serious digging and came up with a link to tons of old versions of Adobe products which they still have on their site available for download. Why Adobe doesn't have this list is beyond me. Here is the link http://technolux.blogspot.com/ Whoever this is saved my ass. An hour of downloading InDesign CS4 and punch in my old serial number and voila.
I hope this helps someone else in the future and saves some time and heartache.

Merlene Ottey becomes oldest athlete in Euro championships
Merlene Ottey anchored Slovenia's 4×1 team today to seventh in the heats at the European Athletics Championships in Barcelona, Spain. Her team ran 44.3 But in the year's most important track meet, Merlene made history — becoming its oldest entrant ever. The BBC took note of this while interviewing the 50-year-old legend. In the chat, Merlene says she'd like to run at 60, to "see what I can do." Her split today was probably sub-11 seconds. Look for a 12.50 in 10 years. (The listed W60 world record is 13.89.)

Lesley Richardson - August 1, 2010
It was also interesting to hear Merlene say that she had seen people of between 75 – 100 competing. This would have been of course at the European Masters Champs held in Llubjana Slovenia in Summer 2008. It was great that Merlene was in attendance at the championships promoting some testing of athletes and also gave some medals out at the ceremonies. What a great lady and great ambassador to the sport.

If I am not mistaken we had a former Elite disctance runner who received an all expense trip to Landover, MD.

Hello, Merlene Ottey: You are a Great Inspiration. I am 58 and as quick and fast as ever. Correct trainig techniques have helped me with my speed. My basic speed is now 4.72 for the 40 yard . Now I have to work on my speed stamina. Anyway,thank-you again for your grit and determination and courage.

A dear beautiful person in my life once told me. Love is like taking a handful of seeds and throwing them into the wind. We don't have any choice of knowing which one will take root. But when we realize that one has, we do have a choice then to nurture it and protect it through all circumstances. Then as time passes and it grows you will reap the benefits of the gift that was given. But if we choose to ignore what was given, like love it will slowly wither away. Then as the years go by you may look back and realize that, that one seed that took root and you ignored was the only one that you will ever have. Because dear son, Like God, you didn't choose love, it chose you. Love, Mom
Take advantage of this day again and let it be the beginning of you celebrating and living life as it was meant to be. A life filled with love and adventure. Believe and have faith because the ups and downs of live are what make it an adventure. We grow each day in faith and our hearts and minds grow wiser with understanding and love. So like the beautiful Butterfly, she was not born beautiful but by living her life she developed into it. I don't want to live forever, I just want to shine the days that are given me.
Every person is special and one of a kind. Society tries to make us believe that materialistic things should be your ultimate goal in life and if we don't look and act a particular way we are not part of the human race. Seems a bit sad that so many fall for it only because they don't want to be left out. I often wonder what God see's when he looks at all of us. The days when a smile is just the mask of a lonely night were a tear fell in silence. Life was never meant to be like that. Your life was meant to be an adventure with the glass half full and running over at the same time and where love, compassion, and peace rule your life. The beauty of life is that we are not perfect. We are supposed to make mistakes. That's what makes us grow. Being real to ourselves and to others because we understand we are not perfect. The point is to grow in understanding so we won't give up. Being alone is sometimes God's way of guarding our hearts and healing us from our mistakes. Preparing us for the person we were meant to be with while all along learning as we grew in life.
You can't buy it. You're born with it. Even now after all these years when I get near a stage and I hear the drummer softly starting to beat around his set getting them tuned. And the guitar stobes flashing on the side of the stage lining up the right pitch. I can hear the amplifiers starting to buzz from the overdrive. It's then I can feel my muscles start to tighten up and my blood seems to come to boil. The guitar that set silently in it's case, now has becomes part of me. The music becomes my breathe and electrifies my soul as we became one… And with the blast of that first note, the lights blind the stage and the music makes the world go away for a little while and takes you to a place where you belong…. Simon C
Seems a long night to be ahead. The scent of an old garden still lingers in the very heart of summers fade…long the heart of those footsteps within its corridors. And breathless be the lips that whisper your name. The halls seem to echo of signs. Pines whisper so in the winds now crossing the water beyond the hillsides… A match strikes, and a small flame ignites the corridors. The wick of a small candle. Shadows form along the walls of outlining oak branches swaying with moss, along with a lone star that's rising behind the laced window pane
The strength of a person is in the spirit in which one entrusts themselves for guidance. Often it is as silent as a Whisper. So it is said that in your life's journey many will see and yet not understand. But, one will see, as it was meant to be understood. And then you will realize what you have always known......
Pure as remnants of Summers fading Where petals scattered our nights and reflections bestowed grace within our breaking dawns beyond points of light where all thresholds. For as time be not our keeper along these watchtower ruins spent and torn between glances caught along the forests edge. And all a hush the lil moments in time in which we smile. Moments of wonder ..remembrance.. or even as simply a wish...be it so, our life* our existence*There was a time under willows weeping that a hush of shadows stilled to listen where in hues of deepened twilight`s breath soft upon the low lining hillsides brought the somber still waters ~~~
I read this blog recently that read "Love isn't supposed to be that hard". So as I thought on it a bit. I summed it up like this. Anything worth having whether its money, love or anything that has a reward for pursuing and finding it is going to be hard. If you think it's so easy to be a millionaire, then why aren't we all. And the people that pursue money even when they are knocked down never give up because the reward… if successful is great. Love is at the top of the list when it comes to rewards. What is the cost of joy, happiness, contentment? The ability to share your life with someone you can trust your life with.( The answer is priceless.) So in your pursuit of true love, when the road seems to be unbearable and you say I tried love before and it's not for me. Did you really try? Was it really love? Only you can answer that. The reward of true love at the end will change your life forever and you will see the glory that life was supposed to be. And when your friends that told you give up are gone and you find the money is nothing more than a material possession and you didn't give up on love, you look back at all the wonderful times that love brought in your life. You will know that love was and is the greatest gift that made all other challenges in life seem so petty. Because you were wearing the armor of love that you fought so hard to get and the rewards were so great you couldn't receive them all. Like the old song says "WHEN NOTHING ELSE WOULD HELP, LOVE LIFTED ME"
. I believe if you are in love with someone it never goes away. It makes a tattoo on your heart. You and that special person formed your own bond unique only to the two of you. And it is heartbreaking when that love is separated. But that is destiny and although the hurt can seem overwhelming at the time it often turns out for the best. Or at least that is a good thought to bear. Love can and often does come again and it will be unique to you and the new person in your life, all you have to do is give love a chance, and be thankful. Don't be the person that let's love pass them by because of insecurities or the hardships of past love. The greatest gift a person is given is the ability to love and be loved. You can't buy it or force it. You just have to believe in it and have faith.
We all need a place called Home The more I'm away the more I miss home. I've traveled the world in my mind. For many years I searched for something. A place and myself. I have met some of the most beautiful people in the world. I have love and lost along my way as we all have. I remember driving south down Princess Hwy. in Australia getting out and looking across the ocean in Eden NSW on Aisling Beach and feeling empty inside. I looked at a picture of the girl that said I love you and she did the best way she knew how. But I also realized she never knew the true meaning of those words. As I watched the sun come up that day across Blackwattle Bay I knew it would be the last time I would ever see her again. And as I watched her drive away in the distance, I looked at her one last time thru the back window of old bus 431 and whispered goodbye my love. Now I just want to turn back the hands of time, leave it all behind and go home. In the middle of Dixie where there are no fancy ways of saying hello without speaking it with a caring voice. A place where my feet as a boy walked on the earth. Where the southern sky reflects the sunlight off the morning dew. I want to go back where I can hear those old southern tunes being played around a campfire in the middle of the night. A place where you still hear respect with sirs and mams. When you hear that southern boys have big trucks and like to play in the mud and the southern women will fight beside their man. You damn skippy that's true. I want to see the dark waters and the Cyprus knees on the banks of the Saint Johns river. I'm tired and just want to go home. Home is not just any place. It's a place where you know you belong. Where you find peace with the morning sun on your face, and everything feels right from the inside out.

"You mean to tell me there's not a damn thing in the 24th Ward worth preserving?" fumes Cavin. "He didn't do anything to help the neighborhood understand what he was going to do. The politics of this blows my doors off."
The Nashville-Wade redevelopment poses a different set of challenges for Bauer, who is listed on James Adler's will as the attorney of record for the deceased's personal representative, Richard Torack. Torack is a close friend of Bauer and head of the Franz Park Neighborhood Association.
Aldermanic President Jim Shrewsbury sees a potential red flag in this arrangement.
"I would not act on both sides of the transaction," elaborates Shrewsbury, a probate attorney. "I have told Tom that I believe that is wrong. I believe it is a conflict of interest to be the attorney for an estate that has real estate in your ward and, at the same time, as an alderman, sponsor legislation doing some governmental action on [the] property. The conflict is easily resolved: You simply withdraw as the attorney for the estate."
Counters Bauer: "I don't think it rises to a conflict level. I won't be taking any action as an alderman pertaining to any legislation that may be introduced."
But this potential conflict of interest isn't what concerns Rob McKendry, who lives next door to the Adler property. It's the density. Four townhouses is two too many, McKendry says, and he was willing to buy the property himself for up to $125,000, or $30,000 more than Western Continental paid.
"I talked to Tom about it after Mr. Adler died," McKendry recalls. (Adler left the vast bulk of his $7 million estate to charities and churches, including St. James the Greater Catholic Church in Dogtown.) "Tom said he was probably going to sell it for $125,000. That was a little more than I wanted to pay for it, but I probably would have anyway -- just to build two houses on that land instead of four. I asked him to give me a call when it went up for sale, and the next thing I know [Bauer's] at my house asking what I think about four houses going in. They never asked me if I wanted to put a bid on it."
Bauer denies speaking with McKendry about the sale.
The Nashville-Wade site falls within the jurisdiction of the Clayton-Tamm Community Association, which has taken two non-binding votes on the project. After voting 47-2 to oppose the townhouses in January, the CTCA's February meeting drew a younger crowd, which resulted in a favorable 31-28 tally. A third, binding vote will be held in March.
Bauer feels opposition to the project is motivated by the personal politics of CTCA president Patricia Verde, a Republican who was trounced by Democrat Rachel Storch in her 2004 bid for state representative in Missouri's 64th legislative district.
"She's using her office to try to organize the ward for a possible Republican candidacy for alderman," says Bauer. "We've got some people who've become active in neighborhood associations just to create a political base."
Bauer adds that many of his constituents just don't get it.
"They see all this change and are reacting to it, while not understanding that it's helping them financially by raising property values," the alderman says. "And it's helping the city enormously by strengthening the tax base."
Whether Bauer will have time to bring skeptics around to this point of view depends upon the success of the recall petition. Should the recall efforts fail, Ellendale president Jan Kuhl has a plan B for 2007, when Bauer will be up for re-election.
"When in doubt, I always write in Porky Pig," says Kuhl, who voted for the animated swine instead of Bauer in 2003. "I grew up with the old 24th Ward politicians who didn't have to take credit for everything. Just watching what Bauer's done, everything has to have his name on it."
Clifton Heights' Lorie Cavin concurs.
"It's always too late for us," she says, "because he's maneuvered it to where we have no access until everything's already done. The citizenry is awake now, and boy, are we ready to not ever have this happen to us again."

article the external surface or contour of which is irregular, more or less.
The application of a wapper directly .to an article is attended with more or less 'difl'iculty in instances where the surface of said article or the contour thereof is irregular, a chief source of the difiiculty being the inability to obtain, without the aid afforded by a carton or analogous element, a smooth plane surface for the application of the pressure required to fasten or seal the wrapper.
Ina broadcomprehensive aspect, my invention involves a procedure as well as a means whereby a smooth solid support is provided for'the lapping marginal portions of awrapper, which smooth solid support affords a continuous surface for the application of the pressure required to effect the v sealing of one portion of the wrapper to an underlying portion thereof.
The improvement in the art of applying a Wrapper to an article the. surface or-contour of which is or may be irregular in-,
volves in a preferred mode of procedure the steps of folding a wrapper, with or without a circular or other insert, around the article so as to position one marginal portion of said wrapper in'to overlapping-relation to another marginal portion thereof, interposing a relatively unyielding or stifl' member intermediate the article and the lapped portions of said wrapper, and applying pres sure to said lapped portions of the wrapper, the aforesaid interposed member affording a solid smooth continuous bearing surface for supporting the lapped portions .of the wrapper whereby the pressure is applied equally to said wrapper along the line of the seam notwithstandingan irregularity or inequality in the surface of the article to which said wrapper is applied. I
The mechanism which I have devised for the performance of the wrapping and seal- Application filed December 24, 1920. Serial No. 432,910.
ing operations includes, as its salient feature, the employment of a part or member which for the purpose of identification will be referred to herein as a sealing blade, the same comprising a metallic member" the length and width of which is suited "to the size of the wrapper so as to afford the required support to the lapping marginal portions of said wrapper during the application of the closing, or folding and sealing, pressure. Said \sealing blade co-operates with the wrapper folding mechanism to the end that said blade may be positioned in operative relation to the article and to the wrapper prior to the operation of finally folding the marginal portions of said wrapper relatively to said article, suitable means being provided for actuating said sea-ling blade to effectuate the introduction of'the blade into the required operative relation to the article and to the wrapper, and to withdraw said blade from such relation to the article and thewrapper subsequent to the application of the pressure for closing or sealing the wrapper. a
The invention vconsists, further, in assembling a wrapper and an article with or without an insert or an end piece in such manner that said article is superposed upon the wrapper; folding the Wrapper partially around said article; thrusting a sealing member alongside the article and in a plane parallel to the line of the seam by which the wrapper is ultimately fastened or sealed;
folding one side of the wrapper after the other for the free marginal portions thereof per, and finally withdrawing the sealing member from its position intermediate the article and the wrapper.
Other functions: and advantages of the invention will appear from the following description taken in connection with the drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a diagrammatic View in plan illustrating the wrappers, the article, and the inserts ready for assemblage, and showing also an insert upon the wrapper.
Figure 2 is a similar view showing the insert imposed upon the wrapper and the article imposed upon the insert.
tive position with respect to the article.
Figure 5 is an elevation partly in section looking toward theright in Figures '3 and 4 illustrating the wipers and a pressure de-' vice for folding the upstanding marginal portions of the wrapper, said pressure device v performing the function also of applying sealing pressure to said wrapper.
Figures 6 and 'Z are views similar to Figure 5 illustrating the successive stages of fold ing the wrapper.
Figure 8 is an elevation similar to Figures 5, 6 and 7 illustrating the application of pressure for sealing the folded marginal portions of the wrapper, and
Figure 9 is an elevation partly in section similar to Figures 3 and 4 showing the sealing blade withdrawn from an operative relation to the package.
In the drawings, A is the wrapper, B an article, and C an insert to be assembled for wrapping the article, resulting in a package wherein the wrapper is applied to the article without utilizing a carton for encasing the article prior to the application of the I wrapper, although it is to be understood that I may in some cases use a carton around the article and apply such wrapper to the carton.
Wrapper A is a flat sheet of suitable material, usually paper, and of a desired shape and dimensions, and in a preferred form, said wrapper is provided with ad hesive material on one face andadjacent an edge thereof, the adhesive material being shown by dotted lines in Figures 1 and 2 as spots composed usually of a suitable paste. Article B may be of any form, the same being shown in Figure 1 as a bottle the contour of which is irregular; i. e., the neck is tapering and the mouth and stopper are of different shape from the contour of the body. Insert C is or may be a circular or folder adapted to be assembled with the article and to occupy a superposed relation to the wrapper. The insert may be omitted, or any kind of insert may be used.
The wrappers and inserts are contained in suitable magazines, and provision is made -.for feeding the wrappers, the inserts, the end piece, and the articles in the required order. The wrapper is first advanced to as sume a flat horizontal position, after which the insert is-positioned upon the wrapper, the relative dimensions of the wrapper and insert being such that one end of the insert extends beyond a side edge of the wrapper whereas two edges of the wrapper protrude beyond corresponding edges of the insert,
see Figure 2. It is to beunderstood that the insert may be of such dimensions as to lie altogether within the limits of the wrapper, and it may, in that case, be folded with the wrapper intwo motions, instead of three, as shown herein. The article is imposed upon the insert, see Figure 2, and the three parts thus assembled are moved conjointly and in their assembled relation, to the wrapper folding mechanism certain elements of which are illustrated. in Figures 3 to 9 inclusive.
D is a carrier of any suitable kind, the same being provided with a pocket, d, one wall d of which is movable and underthe pressure of a spring a", (see Figures 5 to 8). The pocket is open at the top to permit the free introduction of the assembled wrapper, article and insert, the opposing walls of said pocket acting to impart the first folds to the pocket, the efli'ect of whichfis to fold the wrapper and the insert around two sides of the article, leaving the marginal portions of the wrapper and the insert to extend upwardly from the pocket and withone end of the insert "extending upwardly beyond a corresponding edge portion of the wrapper, see Figure 5. 7
Subsequent to the assemblage of the wrapper, article and insert, and to the operation of depositing the assembled parts into one pocket of the carrier for preliminary folding the wrapper and insert partly around said article, the carrier is advanced to assome anoperative relation to a sealing member E, a plurality of wipers F G, and a pressure member H, a preferred construction of. which elements will now be described.
Y wrapper and the insert when the three assembled parts (A. B C) are thrust into the Referring more particularly to Figures 3, Y
4 and 9, the sealing member is a thin straight blade composed of metal, usually of spring steel. The length of the blade usually exceeds the length of the article and the width of the wrapper, the said blade being sufficiently wide for the marginal portions of the wrapper to overlap said blade. .The blade is secured at one end fixedly to a rocker I, the same being pivotally mounted at '1: on a slide J, the latter having reciprocating motion imparted thereto by a link y' of a vibrating member J, whereby the blade and the rocker may at the required times be advanced to ward the carrier and Withdrawn therefrom. The rocker is shown as vbeing provided with two arms is, Z, one of which (Zr) is provided with a slot is which receives a fixed stud 7: having a nut 70 and carrying a helical friction spring (not shown) which acts to frictionallyretain the rocker I in either of 4 is shown asdepending from the slide, and
said arm plays between two tappets K L during the reciprocating travel of the rocker and the blade with slide J, each tappet being shown as a screw mounted for adjustment in a lug Z of a plate Z attached to a stationary member Z of the' mechanism.
Wipers F G are shown as vibrating arms provided with suitable blades f 9 respec: tively, said arms being fixed to rockshaftsf 9. Means are provided for imparting vibratory motion "to the wipers arid for actuating said wipers in due order one after the other, the effective stroke of wiper F being in one direction whereas the effective stroke of wiper G is in a contrary direction, as indicated by the arrows in Figure 5.
The function of wiper F is to fold one of F the two upstanding portions of insert C downwardly upon the article as shown in Figure 6, leaving the two marginal portions of wrapper A and the other upstanding marginal portion of insert C unaffected, whereas wiper G acts, upon the withdrawal of wiper F, for the purpose of folding downwardly the upstanding portions at the.
right of Figure 6 of wrapper A and insert C, leaving one portion of wrapper A at the left of Figure 6 still upstanding. Said second folded portions of the insert and the wrapper are turned over simultaneously and' imposed upon the article and upon the previously folded edge of the insert, thus positioning in overlapping relation one portion of the insert and the wrapper with respect to the previously folded edge portion of the insert, such folded portions overlapping the sealing blade E, see Figure 7.
The two upstanding portions of the insert and the upstanding edge of the wrapper having been folded by successive operations of the wipers F G, pressure shoe H is operated to perform the function of fold-- ing the remaining upstanding portion of wrapper A into lapping relation to the previously folded edge of said wrapper, see Figure 8, said pressure shoe H being advanced into contact with the wrapper during the period of'withdrawal of wiper G in order that said wiper G may act in retaining the 'folded insert and the partly folded wrapper in their proper relations to the article and to preclude an undesirable lifting and unfolding of the material upon the withdrawal of said wiper G and theeffective stroke of the pressure shoe. Said shoe applies the pressure required to complete the operation of folding the wrapper and to forcibly depress one marginal portion of said wrapper into contact-wlth the pasted margin a. of the wrapper, the shoe having such action .uponthe folded matethe pasted margin.
The pressure device in the embodiment of the invention herein shown consists of a Shoe mounted for reciprocating movement in a rectilinear pat across the carrier D td be capable of the required contact with the folded material. Said shoe is provided with a pin it fitting in a slot k of a vibrating arm H, the latter'being carried by a rockshaft h which is associated with appropriate means for imparting movement to the arm H and shoe H in due order wit(l; respect to the operation of the wipers The mechanism described operates as follows :The wrapper, the insert, and the article are assembled as described in superposed order, and the assembled parts are deposited in the pocket 0! of carrier D, the walls of which act upon the wrapper and the insert to preliminarily fold the same around two sides of the article, and the marginal portions of said wrapper and insert extending upwardly from the walls of the pocket, one edge of said insert being flush with an adjacent edge of the wrapper whereas the other edge of the insert extends upwardly from the corresponding edge of the wrapper, see Figure 5. As the carrier D, with its .load, is approaching the required position for the performance of the final folding and sealing operations, the.blade E, wipers F G- and shoe H occupy positions dut of the path of said carrier; but as the latter comes to a state of rest, slide J is advanced, the sealing blade having been already lifted by contact with the tappet L at the finish of the previous withdrawal movement'of the slide- J and held in its lifted position by the friction spring (not shown) to an inclined ,position relatively to the carrier and its contained parts, and said sealing blade while so lifted being moved by the advancing motion of ICU the slide over the article, see Figure 3. As
the slide continues its movement toward a a stationary position over and in contact c 4 v L with the article during the periods of operation of wipers F and shoe H, but after shoe "H acts to seal the wrapper, slide J is moved in an opposite direction and the sealing blade is withdrawn from its position intermediate the article and the wrap per, said blade during such withdrawal being movable in a path parallel to the axial line of the article (see Fi ure 9) in order to avoid disturbance of t e wrapper and the insert with'respect to the article. As the slide approaches its final withdrawn position, arm Z of the rocker I contacts with the other tappet L, (see Figure 9) the effect of which is to turn the rocker on its pivot and to lift the sealing blade to the inclined position, in which position the sealing i blade and the rocker are retained by the friction of the spring around the stud 70 until the slide is again moved forward into contact with tapptt K. V
The carrier D and sealing blade being at rest in contact with the article as in Figure 4, the wiper F is oscillated in an accurate path indicated by the arrow in Figure 5,
the other wiper G and shoe H being at rest, whereby the blade f of said wiper F presses on the insert at that edge which extends upwardly from the wrapper, the
result of which is to fold one margin of the insert over and to press the same downwardly upon the article B and blade E, see Figures 5 and -6. s
The wiper G now moves downward folding over simultaneously the right hand upstanding marginal portions of-the insert C and the wrapper A; The respective movements of wipers F and G are so timed that the blade f remains in its lowermost position while the right hand portions of the wrapping materials are folded against itby blade-g. Both blades f and g are made of some flexible material, such, for example, as relatively thin spring steel, hence the pressure exerted between them is a yielding pressure and the blade f is bent downwardly, pinching the left hand margin of insert C against the upper right hand corner of the sealing blade E (Fi 6). This left hand fold of insert C is'in t is manner engaged by the sharp corner of the seal' blade so tha'tthe wiper F may recede sil iil withdraw the blade f without also/partial- 1y withdrawing along with it the insert 0 and making a bulge in the package. This reoedin movement of the wiper F now takes p are (Fig. 7 and wiper G proceeds in its downward movement to complete-the folding of thev right hand margins of the insert and wrapper upon the left hand margin of the insert C, as shown in Fig. 7
,Thus the second fold of the wrapper and the insert'is effected to position the insert and one portion of the wrapper in overlapping relation to the previously folded standing e ge' of the wrapper and acting to fold the same downwardly upon the pre viously folded edge of said wrapper, and
the advancing movement of the shoe taking place during the period of withdrawal. of the wiper and closely following thesame so that there is no possibility of 'a displacement of the folded insert and one edge of the folded wrapper, thus insuring precision in effectin the overlap between the two margins of t e wrapper. The shoe applies pressure upon the folded portions of the insert and the wrapper, and acts to forcibly press onemargin of the wrapper into close contact with the other and pasted margin ,of said Wrapper, the sealing blade E affording a solid continuous bearing surface for the application'of the pressure required to effect the, sealing of the lapping margins of the wrapper and said sealing blade compensating forthe irregularity in the surface or the contour of article A, whereby the overlapped wrapper margin is pressed firmly upon the pasted wrapper margin throughout the length of the wrapper to effectively seal the two margins togethe'rj The side seal of the package being now complete, the sealing blade is pulled out of the package by the movement of slide J, as heretofore described, and the carrier 1) is moved by suitable means and carries the package from under shoe H to a position for the end folds to be made, shoe H returning meanwhile to its initial position as shown in Figure 5.
- Subsequent to the application of the wrapper as herein set forth, the e'nd'portions of said wrapper are folded to produce closures to the ends of the packages; It is apparent that the closures at each end of the package should desirably presenta neat appearancein order to conform to the regallarity in outline of the package, and while such desirable regularity is attained at one end of the package by the relatively flat form of the bottle or other filler contents, still at the stoppered or capped end of the bottle the surface is comparatively irregular, hence the stopper-ed or capped end of the filler (bottle) does not afford the desirable plane surface for the end closure.-
To overcome this objection and in furtherance of the .purpose to so apply the wrapper to a bottle or other filler as to obtain a desirable regularity in appearance, it is roposed to supply a flat end piece M wit in the wrapper and to position said end piece into co-operative relation to the ununiform end of the bottle or other filler. The end piece may desirably consist of a fiat i sapiece of cardboard or other material, and it is supplied automatically at a desired stage in the operations of folding and sealing the Wrapper. It is preferred to feed each end piece M into position against the capped or. stoppered end of the bottle subsequent to the partial folding of the wrapper around the package by the deposit of the wrapper, insert and article within the pocketed carrier, suitable means being provided for feeding the end pieces to the successive packages. Also, the end piece 1s positioned within the limits of the partially folded wrapper prior to the introductlon of the sealing blade into the desired relation to the filler contents, so that the end piece affords a support for the free end of the sealing blade (see Figure 4) during the operations of folding the insert and the wrapper upon said sealing blade and the application of sealing pressure to the lapped margins of the wrapper. The end piece affords a solid backing against which the material of the wrapper is folded/ and pressed during the operation of folding, or folding and sealing, the wrapper to form and complete the end closure for the wrapper of the package, whereby the end closureat the stoppered end of the article 1s adapted tobe folded for presenting the desired regular appearance.
It is apparent that the invention is not restricted to the application of wrappers to bottles, nor to the use of an insert in connection with the wrapper and the article or filler; but on the contrary the invention includes the application of the wrapper witlr or without an insert to a desirable filler, which latter may be a bottle such as shown or any other article or material to be encased by a wrapper in accordance with the invention.
By my invention an article is wrapped in such manner that it presents a desirable regular formfalthough such article is or may be of irregular contour, and the wrapper is sealed uniformly throughout the length of the lap or seam at the marginal or meeting ends thereof.
The invention in respect to the improvement in the art may be practiced by hand, but for economy and rapidity of operation it is desirable to utilize mechanism analogous to the devices hereirndisclosed, it being apparent, however,'that the process may be practiced through the instrumentality of mechanism other than that shown and described as a practical means for the per formance of the functions required.
Having thus fully described the invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:v

A*M*E, MNEK, Jax Jones and the whole gang tear up Hackney Central...
The cool kids were out in force the other night to witness a rare live performance from stealth chart attacker Duke Dumont, who has steadily wracked up numerous hits. They were all, spaced out throughout the evening with his live show, packed with incredible guest performances.
Someone recently pointed out to me that anywhere described as 'achingly hip' was sure to be anything but, though it seems like a fair enough description of the venue Oslo, rising like a pheonix from the ashes of the building site that is Hackney Central station.
The set up was smooth lighting and atmospheric LED video screens, which unobtrustively enhanced the whole underground rave vibe, while live musicians flanked Mr Dumont, playing synths, keys, any number of percusion instruments and the integral Steel Pan.
The first song was unexpectedly the massive hit Need U (100%) and not really having thought the whole thing through, we were a bit shocked to see A*M*E bound onto the stage in an oversized BLASE BOYS CLUB t-shirt, matching the whole band and DD himself. In a flash of smiles she was gone, and the dance hits prevailed. Easily the best track of the night was I Got U, as Jax Jones came on and blew everyone away.
Only the late great Whitney could've come close to pulling that off, and if you closed your eyes you'd be hard pushed to tell the difference. Amazing. Another dance break before MNEK radiated a child-like glee in performing, and the finalewas bathed in red like an interpretation of Macbeth, packing the same amount of drama into approximately three minutes.
The 90's nostaglia came thick and fast, and we found ourselves having potent flashbacks to being eight years old, our parents throwing a medieval themed fancy dress birthday party. They'd bought one double vinyl album to soundtrack the event called Deep Heat. Anyway, the new single Won't Look Back which is a bit like Black Box's Ride On Time but instead of 'gotta get up, gotta get up, gotta get up' it was 'living it up, living it up, living it up' – it's hard to tell where sampling and homage mix, but it doesn't really matter as the whole thing, no matter backwards looking it seems, it always has one eye forward.
We're not entirely sure what they'd done with the sound set up, but the Verbalicious' Don't Play Nice lyric "waiting for the bassline, speakers that can dry my hair" ran around our head. We've never been to a gig and had our hair dance of it's own accord, especially in contrast to how many bodies were moving of their own accord. The only feet that weren't moving in Oslo that night belonged to trendy furniture.
