(USATODAY) -- Lee Boyd Malvo, who was 17 at the time of the D.C. shooting spree, is serving a life sentence without parole in Virginia for his part in the killings.
The Frederick News-Post quotes J. Wyndal Gordon, Muhammad's attorney, as saying Muhammad, who was executed Tuesday, had not had any recent contact with Malvo.
Click here for more on the execution.
Muhammad and Malvo are also suspected of murders in Alabama, Arizona, Louisiana and Washington state.
Testifying at Muhammad's murder trial, the Jamaican-born Malvo had described the pair's meticulous planning for the killings, including how his former mentor turned an old Chevrolet into a shooting platform.
He said Muhammad "made me a monster," CNN reported at the time.
"I'm not proud of myself. I'm just trying to make amends," Malvo said.
Malvo said Muhammad wanted to "terrorize" the nation's capital. He quoted him saying, "'The chickens come home to roost.' "
In 2007, the AP reported that Malvo called Cheryll Witz, daughter of one of the victims, Jerry Taylor.
"I need to apologize for what I've done to you and your family," Malvo told her.
Witz said she got the call from Malvo while shopping. "I was standing in the Costco bawling my eyes out," she said.
Witz told the AP that at one point Malvo broke down as he spoke.
"The first thing he said was, 'I tried to write a letter to you but I couldn't. I didn't know what to say,"' Witz said

|Weight training offered
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
There is one simple thing anyone can do that will provide relief from arthritis, restore balance, reduce the risk of falling, increase bone mass, control weight, manage diabetes, improve depression and sleep and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Although it sounds too good to be true, the fact is that resistance or strength training can do all of that and more. Years of scientific research has shown regularly performed exercise with weights, especially for middle-aged and older adults, can have profound results on the loss of muscle mass and development of chronic diseases that are frequently associated with aging.

Letting fans know that she is well past her teen years is exactly what Miley Cyrus did at her Dec 8th show at the Henry Fonda Theater when she performed at Borgore's "Christmas Creampies." Miley Cyrus put on a great show as always for her fans, but some got an even closer look at her recent "dream catcher" tattoo on her right side area.
If on lookers thought that Miley Cyrus was a bit under dressed for the show, she palled in comparison to the topless female stripper that was on stage as Miley performed at DJ Borgore's show. Miley came onto the stage with a minor clothing on sporting the cleavage, no bra look in her tight S&M style outfit complete with a chain from her pants to around her neck . If you did look down, Miley was also wearing thigh high leopard print boots to tie the whole outfit together.
So for all you Miley Cyrus fans out there, watch for her new look and sound. Miley Cyrus even sported a much shorter blond pixie cut than what she had in recent weeks. The good news is that Miley's hair should stay close to the same,a s she really can't go any shorter with out shaving it all off. If you are a Miley fan, then you will be entertained for sure at all her upcoming shows ans let's see what look she will have at her next show.
Be sure to get your Miley Cyrus concert tickets before they sell out.

About this font family
Brandon Grotesque is a sans serif type family of six weights plus matching italics. It was designed by Hannes von Döhren in 2009/10. Influenced by the geometric-style sans serif faces that were popular during the 1920s and 30s, the fonts are based on geometric forms that have been optically corrected for better legibility.
Brandon Grotesque has a functional look with a warm touch. While the thin and the black weights are great performers in display sizes the light, regular and medium weights are well suited to longer texts. The small x-height and the restrained forms lend it a distinctive elegance. More…

In 1950s Japan, the creams and lotions available for women to use on their complexions were thick, greasy and apt to clog the pores. After one woman had enough of using skin care products laden with petroleum, she approached her pharmacist and asked him if he could mix her an alternative. Inspired by the woman's request, Yoshikiyo Nowatari went to work creating his own skin care formula based on glycerin rather than petroleum. The lightweight texture and effectiveness of the formula quickly made his product, Yu-Be skin cream, the best-selling facial cream in Japan.
While the Yu-Be skin care collection has grown over the years to include a host of products for the complexion, the brand still uses Nowatari's guiding philosophies. All of the products are healthy for the complexion, enriched with vitamins and minerals. The formulas are comfortable for women to wear and designed not to clog the pores or cause hypersensitivity reactions. The products have been rigorously tested, even in extreme settings like on the top of Mt. Everest and in Antarctica. Try Yu-Be products for your complexion!
Launched by a Japanese pharmacist in 1957, Yu-Be uses a glycerin-based formula to tackle dry skin. Yoshikiyo Nowatari developed this line of products after hearing women's complaints about dry, cracked skin. Seeing that petroleum-based moisturizers were causing problems for many women, Nowatari devised a different formula, one that became a highly sought after product in Japan. In fact, Yu-Be is one of the longest-selling skin care products on the market in Japan, and it is the top-selling medicated and vitamin-enriched cream in today's market. In their more than half century of production, Yu-Be products have been embraced as a solution for a variety of types of dry skin, from cracked heels to diaper rash and frostbite. Whether you are dealing with one of these conditions or simply want to nourish your dry complexion, Yu-Be products can work for you.
Hydrating your skin from head to toe, focusing on your complexion and nourishing your lips are all possible thanks to Yu-Be products. This brand has been celebrated in such national publications as Allure, Elle, InStyle, and The Wall Street Journal. Dry skin is a common condition no matter your skin type. Whether your skin's moisture is zapped by cold, dry air or aging or if you're predisposed to having dry skin, there's help. Yu-Be products offer rich nourishment for even the driest skin types. If other moisturizers and lotions have let you down, give Yu-Be a try. The company's glycerin-based formula is unique and proven, thanks to the company's decades of success in both the Japanese and international marketplace.

Beckham joins PSG and pledges to play for free
PARIS In a lucrative career that has seen him earn millions around the world, David Beckham has joined Paris Saint-Germain pledging to play for free and donate his salary to a children's charity.
The former England captain rejected other offers and signed a five-month contract for the ambitious French club on Thursday in a stunning move that came as the transfer window was starting to close.
No details were given on how much the 37-year-old star will be paid or which charity will get the money.
"It's something we (decided) together; it's one of the things we talked about from the start. But this all happened so quick," Beckham said. "I thought what a great idea it would be, that the salary would go to a children's charity in Paris."
Beckham's glamorous career has seen him win titles with Manchester United, Real Madrid and the Los Angeles Galaxy.
"Every club I have played for throughout the world, I have been successful with. I have been successful with Manchester United, and I have always said that I would never want to play for another English club," Beckham said. "It's the team that I support, that I always dreamt of playing for."
Beckham recently finished a six-year stint in the United States with the Galaxy in Major League Soccer. Whether he can still be a force in European soccer is uncertain, especially with so many talented players in a PSG team that has cost nearly (EURO)270 million ($366 million) to assemble since its Qatari owners, QSI, took over in June, 2011.
"I am very lucky. I am 37 years old and I got offered a lot of offers, more offers now than I have probably had in my career, at my age," Beckham said. "I am very honored about that. I chose Paris because I can see what the club are trying to do, the players the club are trying to bring in. It's an exciting city, always has been, always will be."
The immaculately dressed Beckham was a model of elegance and calm as camera crews and photographers jostled for position amid the frenzy. He joked that he feels much younger than his age.
"To be the elder statesman, I'm very proud of that," he said. "No matter what my age is, I still feel 21 years old - most days."
Although Beckham's deal runs out in June, he intends to keep playing, although whether that will be with PSG remains to be decided. He is, however, eager to have a long-term role at the club.
"We slightly brushed over it, a long-term partnership is what we have looked for," he said. "Short term is playing, but long term is something we are very proud to be part of this organization that will grow and become one of the biggest in Europe."
Beckham was close to joining PSG last year, discussing a potential move with a club desperately chasing a big name to match its sudden allure and seemingly endless funds from its Qatari backers.
But the move fell through and PSG moved on to other targets, landing striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and AC Milan teammate Thiago Silva as well as Napoli winger Ezequiel Lavezzi and Brazilian prodigy Lucas.
"I felt last year that I still had something to achieve in Los Angeles. I won the championship in the last year of my contract," said Beckham, adding that the time was not right. "So we parked it and decided that right now is the right time because I was at the end of my contract last year. I accepted one more year in Los Angeles, I won another championship, another trophy in Los Angeles and I believe it was the right time to leave."

Glucose is a type of sugar. It is your body's main source of energy. Hypoglycemia is a condition where the level of glucose in your blood becomes low enough to cause symptoms. When blood glucose drops too low, your body does not have enough energy to function properly.
Medications for
are the most common cause, particularly when combined with the following factors:
Reactive hypoglycemia may also occur in people without diabetes. It is now thought to be quite rare.
Other causes of hypoglycemia include:
Factors that may increase your chance of hypoglycemia include:
Symptoms may come on slowly or suddenly. Hypoglycemia may cause:
As hypoglycemia worsens, it may cause:
If you have frequent hypoglycemia, you may lose many of the early symptoms and be at particular risk of sudden loss of consciousness, seizure or bizarre behavior. This could affect your ability to operate machinery or a motor vehicle. You will need to discuss any special instructions with your doctor.
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
If hypoglycemia is suspected, your doctor will try to document your low blood sugar. Your blood glucose levels will be measured while you are having symptoms.
If you do not have diabetes, and you do not take medications that lower your blood sugar levels, the doctor may do other tests to see if and why you are having low blood sugar levels. These tests may include checking your blood levels after periods of not eating.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options include:
Symptoms of low blood sugar can be relieved quickly by:
Some people who have prolonged or severe hypoglycemia take
glucagon. Glucagon is an injectable hormone. It raises blood sugar levels.
Some cases of hypoglycemia are caused by a tumor. In this case, the tumor may need to be removed.
To reduce your chance of hypoglycemia, take these steps:

Royals Farm Report
On the Farm: October is peak harvest time for a group of loyal Royals fans, the corn and soybean farmers here in the Midwest. The Royals' farm is also busy this time of year as Assistant General Manager for Scouting/Player Development J.J. Picollo and his staff look to cultivate talent for the Major League team. Today we look at two of the fall proving grounds, the Arizona Instructional League and Hawaii Winter Baseball. (Yes, that was Hawaii followed by winter.)
Arizona Instructional League: Seeds of baseball knowledge are being planted in the impressionable minds of farmhands in the Arizona Instructional League. Participating players include 2008 draft picks Eric Hosmer (left), Johnny Giavotella, and Tim Melville as well as 2008 Burlington (IA) Player of the Year Mike Moustakas. Games started on September 22 and run through October 17. Players also take part in daily practice drills and listen to motivational talks from the likes of manager Trey Hillman and Royals Hall of Famer Frank White. We hope to have more insider updates on the instructional league in the near future.
Hawaii Winter Baseball: Aloha! Farther west, four Kansas City prospects are honing their baseball skills on the island of Oahu. Infielders Kyle Martin and Kurt Mertins, left-handed pitcher Ben Swaggerty and right-handed pitcher Jason Godin are members of the North Shore Honu. Martin played a key reserve role for the Midwest League-champion Burlington Bees in 2008. Mertins batted .282 and stole 28 bases as a member of Wilmington's speedy Carolina League entry. Godin, a fifth-round selection in 2006, spent 2008 with Wilmington. Swaggerty signed as a non-drafted free agent in 2007. He split 2008 between the Burlington Bees and the Wilmington Blue Rocks. The teams continue play through November 16. Be sure to keep tabs on all of the action!
Central Focus: All eyes in baseball have been on the AL Central over the past few days. Our division finally has a champion, and it didn't require a recount or hanging chads. Congratulations to the Chicago White Sox, who won their first division title since 2005. Last night's thrilling game was a pitching duel from start to finish. Jim Thome provided all of the offense with a solo blast in the seventh.
The Royals play the Twins and White Sox 18 times apiece during the regular season, so we get to know their broadcasters, writers, and media relations staff quite well. (Be sure to check out our interviews with Chicago's Ken Harrelson and Minnesota's Jack Morris.) We can only imagine the press box conversations last night as the season came down to a final game.
Revving Up for Royals Charities: Royals Charities recently teamed with the Kansas City Zone Dodge Dealers to auction off a 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8. The car sold for $51,250, with proceeds going to Royals Charities. Thank you to Dodge for their support of Royals Charities!

Horror flick 'The Remaining' wraps filming in Wilmington
Published: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 7:35 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 7:35 p.m.
An independent horror film about a group of young friends trying to survive after a series of worldwide catastrophic events wrapped filming this week in the Port City.
Directed by Casey La Scala and produced by Brad Luff ("Urban Legends") and Marc Bienstock ("Quarantine 2: Terminal"), "The Remaining" is based on biblical accounts of the end-times and stars Alexa Vega ("Spy Kids"), Johnny Pacar ("Purgatory House"), Italia Ricci ("Secret Girlfriend"), Bryan Dechart ("Step Up 3D") and Shaun Sipos ("Texas Chainsaw 3D").
Distributors Affirm Films, a division of Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions, and Cinematic plan to release the thriller in 2014, according to an Affirm news release.
In the film, the friends had gathered to celebrate the marriage of Skylar (Vega) and Dan (Dechart) when tragedy strikes.
"I wanted to create a story that captures the imagination of the mainstream and faith-based community," La Scala said in the news release.
During the nearly monthlong shoot, the group dodged basketball-sized hail outside the New Hanover County Library and confronted a demon in the basement of the Brooklyn Arts Center, according to Wilmington film permits.

Royals prospects tour F-35 simulator
If you've attended Royals Spring Training in Surprise, Ariz., you have probably witnessed the sights and sounds of Air Force jets overhead. The planes are from Luke Air Force Base, which is south of Surprise in Litchfield Park.
Jets are familiar to Royals prospect Shane Halley. Shane has a direct connection to military flying as his father, Tom, served as a naval aviator, logging over 4,000 flight hours and 700+ carrier-arrested landings. (Shane was actually born at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba). Captain Halley now works in aerospace with Lockheed Martin. That leads us to Wednesday, when Royals prospects Marten Gasparini, Hunter Haynes, Alec Mills and Sean Manaea joined Shane to take a first-hand look at Lockheed's F-35 simulator at Litchfield Park.
Thank you to Lockheed Martin for providing information and photos of this unique visit! (Photo credit: Todd R. McQueen)

WHEELING - The fans who stuffed the Alma Grace McDonough Center called it a rivalry. The public address announcer called it showtime. Whatever you want to call it, when West Liberty and Wheeling Jesuit hit the basketball court, sparks will fly.
Saturday's game proved as much as Alex Falk scored 16 of his game-high 27 points in the second half and Tim Hausfeld cashed in on five 3-pointers as the No. 4-ranked Hilltoppers defeated the Cardinals 87-82.
''We didn't do it intentionally for crowd effect,'' Toppers coach Jim Crutchfield said about the five-point victory. ''We were trying to separate the lead as much as we could, but Jesuit did a good job of getting back in it. What we did was we closed out in the last two minutes, which was really the most important thing.''
Article Photos
Wheeling Jesuit's Eric Siefert (31) brings the ball up the floor as West Liberty's Tim Hausfeld gives pressure during their game Saturday in Wheeling.
Even playing without junior standout Cedric Harris, who was ineligible to play due to legal restraints with Wheeling Jesuit, West Liberty started the game how it always does, with a full head a steam.
The Hilltoppers (17-1 overall, 11-1 West Virginia Conference) quickly raced out to a 14-6 lead five minuets in, but WJU (9-8, 6-7) then jumped on board with a 12-2 run that gave it an 18-16 advantage.
The Cardinals stretched the lead to six with a conventional three-point play by Justin Fritts, but West Liberty went on a 3-point blitz, as it made four in a row, highlighted by back-to-back bombs from Bubby Goodwin, to make the score 36-30.
Jesuit regained its composure and retook the lead at 39-38, though it didn't last long as WLU scored eight unanswered points in the final minute of the half.
''Running away with the game would have been good. We'd have liked that,'' Crutchfield said. ''But, Wheeling Jesuit has a really good team. You just kind of expect them to make some shots. Everytime we'd get a 10-point lead, they'd come down and bust a 3 or we may make a turnover or whatever and all the sudden its a four or five point game.''
That's exactly how the second half started as the Cardinals closed the gap at 51-50, but a 3 by Chris Morrow ignited a 14-4 run by the Toppers, which was capped off by another deep 3 from Hausfeld.
Jesuit had one final chance to gain control of the game in the final minutes as the Cardianls gained a possesion off a turnover by West Liberty on an inbound pass after a Ben Siefert layup.
Andre Harris, who finished with a career-high 24 points off the bench, was fouled, but couldn't hit the 1-and-1.
Jesuit, however, recovered the rebound, but a Siefert 3 fell short and the visitors hit crucial free throws to close out the game.
''They're a good team,'' Jesuit coach Danny Sancomb said. ''They did a good job. They did things they needed to do to win the game.
''We kept it a low-scoring game for them. We kept it right around where we thought we had a good chance to win the game. I think we had a good game plan. Our guys did a good job in the zone and made them take some contested 3s.''
Siefert backed Harris with 25 points and eight assists, while Fritts ended with 14 points.
Falked added nine rebounds and six assists to go with his game-high honors for West Liberty.
Hausfeld added 17 points, while C.J. Hester had 12 points and eight boards.
Shawn Dyer, who started in place of Cedric Harris, finished with 12 points, seven assists and seven rebounds.
''We've got a good team, we're not about one player,'' Crutchfield said about Harris' absence. ''We've talked about that for years and years. We've got good players and occasionally we play without them. But we got guys that can step up and play. The wheels don't fall off or anything, we just make minor adjustments with the personnel.''
The Hilltoppers have won 15 of the last 17 between the two Ohio County rivals.

Hartford Hospital Research Compliance Program Overview
The effective management of public, private and endowment funds to maximize research outcomes.
The avoidance of serious cases of fraud, institutional mismanagement, or poor management of federal and private funds.
Areas of Risk Management
Human Subjects Protection:
The Institutional Review Board (IRB) is responsible for informed consent and protection of confidentiality of human subjects participating in clinical research. The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) and Office for Human Research Protection (OHRP) regulates these areas with support from the newly legislated Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Grants Management Practices:
Hartford Hospital adheres to the Public Health Service (PHS) grants policy for all federally funded research projects. Likewise, in conducting industry sponsored clinical trials, funds are monitored to ensure that all research-related costs for patients are allocated to the project with safeguards to prevent errors in billing against Medicare or third party payers. Procedures are established that identify and communicate "restrictions" on grant awards to the investigative team, as well as support and monitor federal, state and agency grant policies to ensure sound financial management and safeguards, as well as fiscal propriety.
Conflict of Interest:
Investigators with financial holdings in companies or that receive financial support in the form of consultant fees or honorariums for extra-curricular activities are mandated to document the relationship in writing with Research Administration. Additionally, to prevent investigative bias in the presentation of research findings, RA provides institutional oversight and guidance and ensures that external fiduciary relationships are acknowledged and appropriate.
Contract Relationships:
Research Administration is responsible for ensuring that contracts with external sponsors contain language and assurances that protect the Hospital from liability in the conduct of clinical and basic research. Also, in support of United States Code (USC) Sec 335a, all contracts are reviewed to guarantee that companies and its employees are without criminal record and have not been debarred.
Potential for Private Inurnment:
Research funds are monitored by Hartford Hospital's Research Administration and Accounting Departments to ensure that research funding is expended appropriately.
Investigational Drugs and Devices:
If drugs and/or devices are considered investigational, the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines apply.
Cost or Expense Transfers from Research Projects:
Hartford Hospital's Research Administration and Accounting Departments are responsible for oversight of cost allocations to projects and the transfer of expenses between research accounts. Institutional checks and balances are in place that ensure proper allocation of expenses to individual research accounts, including costs for wages and supplies. These Departments are accountable for overseeing clinical trial budgets, administrative expenses (including institutional overhead), residual income, institutional cost sharing, and consulting fees and services.
Gifts and Endowments:
Hartford Hospital provides oversight for gifts and endowments to investigators through the Fund Development and Research Administration Offices.
Program Overview
The roles and responsibilities of all individuals involved in basic and clinical research (Vice President, Department Heads, Investigators, Administrative staff, and Accounting) are institutionally defined and provide support for a climate and value system that promotes compliance with federal, state, and agency regulations.
Research compliance policies and procedures are supported institutionally. The overriding organizational intent is to reduce potential unlawful conduct. Corrective action plans are available to counsel investigators and protect Hartford Hospital and its investigators and research staff against risk. Current compliance policies are distributed to staff and investigators that apply to federal, state, and internal/external funding sources. A definition of "program income from federal grants" is outlined in the Public Health Service (PHS) Grants Policy Statement, and this is disseminated to all investigators receiving PHS funding. Principal investigators are held accountable for reporting all grant related income.
The Vice President for Research and Corporate Compliance Officer are responsible for research conformity to corporate compliance policies and procedures.
The research program must ensure adequate training of employees, i.e. research administration and investigative staff, as well as Institutional Review Board (IRB) members. Training information and material is readily available within a broad-based curriculum that includes clinical trials research, human subjects protection, and grants and budget management. Training materials are updated frequently to include contemporary patient and research issues with the goal of ensuring that all staff responsible and involved in research or its administration is well informed and competent to carry out their research roles. The Corporate Compliance Officer for Research is responsible for overseeing the training programs.
A quality assurance program is in place that supports the Compliance Program by providing systems that monitor and audit research projects, programs, and staff and ensures that systems are operating effectively. The research program audits research accounts monthly and reviews revenue, expenses, cost transfers, and gift income, in order to maintain fiscal propriety. Special focus is directed to overseeing accounts of investigators who are principal investigators on multiple, ongoing research trials. In addition, periodic random samples are taken of all research projects to ensure compliance to Human Subject regulations.

Judge: Statements by murder defendant are admissible in court
Published: Thursday, January 24, 2013 at 5:54 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 24, 2013 at 7:39 p.m.
A judge has ruled that a man accused of shooting and killing an Iraq War veteran cannot suppress statements he made to authorities after his arrest.
Stevin Roopnarine, 24, is charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of LaVar Watson on Christmas night in 2011.
In August, Roopnarine's defense attorney, Jack Maro, sought to have his client's statements ruled inadmissible. He argued that, during an interrogation, a sheriff's detective had not properly answered Roopnarine's questions about his right to an attorney.
Maro contended that his client didn't know whether he should waive his right to an attorney.
During the interview between Roopnarine and Marion County Sheriff's Detective Brian Spivey, Roopnarine was read his Miranda rights and decided he wanted to invoke his right to an attorney.
But later, while Roopnarine was in custody, he appeared to be having second thoughts and asked the detective again whether he should talk to him with or without an attorney.
Prosecutors defended Spivey's actions, arguing that the detective had made an effort to answer Roopnarine's questions as best he could. Roopnarine, they argued, was aware of his rights and willingly told the detective his side of the story.
Circuit Judge Sandra Edwards-Stephens agreed with the prosecutor's argument.
"There is no question that Detective Spivey read the Miranda rights to the Defendant (Roopnarine) and Defendant understood those rights," Stephens wrote.
In the interview, Roopnarine said that his co-defendant, Ashley B. LeVelle, 22, told him to go through Watson's pockets to get his wallet after he was shot.
Roopnarine also detailed how he and LeVelle took a bloody car seat cover, the gun used in the shooting and other items and threw them into a garbage bag and left them at his house.
The trio met at the Hollywood 16 movie theater in Ocala on Christmas night in 2011. LeVelle had reportedly met Watson on an online dating site and had scheduled a date that night.
She and Roopnarine, who was a phlebotomist at the time, had met up earlier in the day because he had asked for a ride to Munroe Regional Medical Center. Roopnarine then asked LeVelle for a ride to a friend's house in Belleview.
He was reportedly in the back seat of the car when LeVelle met Watson met for their date.
On the way to the Belleview house, Roopnarine allegedly fired three shots at Watson, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, hitting him in the back of the head and shoulder.
He then reportedly asked LeVelle to help him get the body out of the car and dump it on the side of a road.
Roopnarine has a different story. He said LeVelle fired the shots and planned the entire incident. He claims he was asleep in the backseat of the car and awoke to gunfire.
Roopnarine's next scheduled court date is in early March. LeVelle's is in early April.

Here you can see no disc is loaded and f1 runs as if it was avchd manager.
Here you can see no disc is loaded and f1 runs as if it was avchd manager.
You need to divide problems with controller board, and problems with laser/mechanism. So if drive not works or doesn't read disc it not necessarily means that is board is faulty/wrong. But if it is - no game will load, even Backup manager won't.
Well, if you can run backup manager - then your problem really strange. I assume you're problem is not controller board, try different payloads and games.
To all with broken laser/bluray drive:
- Can you play official PSN demos?
- Does Backup manager load, but games dont?
It seems that the PS3 checks the bluray drive before launching any game or app. In that case, PSN demos shouldn't load as well... in theory.
What is the problem with my PS3?
I can insert and eject discs but nothing happens on screen, the blue disc indicator LED flashes when inserting and ejecting discs, and it stays on when a disc is in the drive. I can install pkg's but when I start any homebrew, I get a black screen and my PS3 freezes.
I have a 60GB fat PS3, a teensy 2.0 with PSGroove Hermes V3. I have tried the other payloads but I still get a black screen, when starting any homebrew.
What is the problem with my PS3?
Open your PS3 and check the cable connections between the BD and the board. I disassembled my PS3 because of an YLOD and found out that cables are quite sensitive.
I have the very same problem with the same symptoms. And I'm pretty sure that your problem IS controller board. It could be wrong (if you bought with this problem) or faulty. Try, as Dean said, to recheck connectors to the drive.
If your PS3 worked fine, and then broke - there is solution: you could buy new control board and then resolder nand chip. I've bought my PS3 by very low price, but I'm not sure either my board faulty or mismatch. So I wait for soft solution as now we could control syscalls and memory.
I bought the PS3 with the BD fault, because it was a cheaper option for me, as I cant afford a new PS3. When I got the PS3, I couldn't insert any discs in, as the BD didnt take them in. So I opened it up and the ribbon cable had been disconnected from the BD. I connected it back and now I can insert and eject discs, but it just doesn't display anything on screen. So I think the connections are ok, and im confused some members have working homebrew apps and games working, and their PS3 is sort of in the same state as my PS3 is in.
I hope someone makes a payload or something that will allow us to access the PS3 HDD.
Well, I'm in the same situation. And if your ribbons are connected Ok - then we are in the same boat
Well, I'm in the same situation. And if your ribbons are connected Ok - then we are in the same boat
Does it make any difference if you put CD, DVD or BD disc?
If you have a BD remote control - press the "EJECT" button and check if your PS3 will beep or eject the disc.
I'd suggest to check the cable again. It can have worn pins (it takes just 10 times to pull-out/put-in the cable to break it) - I had similar problems with the tiny ribbon cable for the eject/power buttons after just 3 disconnects.
I have tested CD's, DVD's and Blu-Ray discs but nothing plays. When I press the eject button on the PS3, it beeps and ejects the disc.

There were two armed robberies within fifteen minutes of each other early Tuesday morning in a Meridian neighborhood.
Both robberies happened near Magnolia Park Courts, just before 1 a.m. The second happened about fifteen minutes later.
In both cases, police say the victim was robbed by a black male wearing a black hoodie. He fled, with a second suspect driving, in a small brown car.
No one was injured in either of the robberies.
"If anything looks suspicious, don't wait for something to happen. If they can leave the area, leave the area. Pick up the phone. Call the police. Anything. We'll respond out on any calls of suspicious behavior," said Harper. "You might not know what you're looking at at first. Might not be anything to it. But just go ahead and give us a call. We'll come out and check it. And if there's nothing to it, there's nothing to it. That's what we get paid to do."
If you have any information, call Crimestoppers at 601-485-1860.

CHARLESTON - Tournament time is when stars are supposed to shine their brightest.
That notion has held true through the first two days of the 37th annual West Virginia High School Girls' Basketball Championships.
Thursday, Bridgeport's Miki Glenn, a top candidate for West Virginia Player of the Year honors, exploded for 33 points in the Indians' 54-34 victory against rival Lincoln inside the Civic Center Coliseum. Twenty of those came in the first half.
Glenn hasn't made her college choice, but numerous schools, including some mid-major NCAA Division I schools, are interested.
All Class AA quarterfinals took place Thursday, including Nicholas County's 47-42 triumph against North Marion. Shealyn Shafer paced the Grizzlies with 16 points, while Megan Haller had 17 for the Huskies.
Logan's Shayna Gore fired in 36 points in the Wildcats' 77-66 triumph against Princeton. It was the first time during the tournament a lower-seeded team won.
The final AAA game of the day featured a solid all-around performance by Parkersburg South's Taryn McCutcheon. The Patriots freshman had 13 points, eight rebounds, eight assists and three steals in 29 minutes.
Westside, AA's top seed, got a game-high 26 points from Hope Lester in topping Westside, 68-41.
Not to go unnoticed, Hannah Preservati and McKenzie Akers scored 17 apiece for the Tigers.
Wednesday, Wheeling Central's dynamic duo of seniors Colleen McCormick and Emily Bucon evenly split 28 points in a victory against Valley-Fayette. The Greyhounds' Alexis Payne impressed with 14 points, 12 boards and five blocks.
Then there was Huntington St. Joe's Mychal Johnson. Johnson, a Notre Dame University signee, led the Irish's 89-29 victory against Man with a triple-double of 17 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists.
Standing the Test of Time
Records are made to be broken. But some former Ohio Valley standouts' marks remain legend.
In Class AAA, Wheeling Park's Dee Davis has a few marks that have stood the test of time. The Patriots head coach still holds the mark for points in a game (43), against Greenbrier East in 1978, along with most field goals made and attempted (37 of 82) during the 1980 event.
Park's Lesa Roseberry holds the mark for field goals made and attempted (16 of 35) in a game against Independence in 1976.
As a team, Park remains the best at points in a game (101 vs. Fairmont Senior, 1998). The Patriots had a tournament-best 75 rebounds, also against Independence in '76. The 101 points for Park helped add up to 238 in '98, the most ever.
Thirty-two is the record for field goals in a game by a team. Coach Stan Blankenship's 1985 John Marshall squad shares the mark with three other teams.
Oak Glen's pair of Eckleberry's - Jade and Jenna - have a pair of marks, both from the Golden Bears' game against Wyoming East in 2002. Jenna's is for assists (15) and Jade's is for 3-pointers made (six).
Magnolia has the mark for blocked shots, swatting away 12 vs. Wyoming East in 2005. Eleven of those were made by Allison Rothlisberger, also a record.
Former Wheeling Central standout Kayleen Fitzsimmons holds two Class A marks. The ex-Cornell University standout attempted 23 3-pointers during the 2005 tournament. She made 11 of those, tying her for the mark with Mercer Christian's Sharon Wilkerson (1994).
Familiar Foes
When No. 2 seed Bridgeport faced No. 7 seed Lincoln Thursday it marked the fourth time the two Harrison County schools met this season.
The result was the same, though as the Indians came out on top. The squads played twice during the regular season, with Bridgeport winning 54-39 and 49-32. Later, they faced each other in the sectional with the Indians winning again, 44-29.
All told, there were four rematches in the quarterfinals - Westside vs. PikeView in Class AA and Spring Valley vs. Capital and Morgantown vs. Martinsburg in Class AAA were the others.
Native Blows the Whistle
Chris Ferro was one of the three officials for Thursday's Westside-PikeView Class AA quarterfinal.
Ferro, a 1998 John Marshall graduate and former soccer standout, was visited at the arena by his dad, Mike. The elder Ferro (D-Marshall) was taking a break from his work as a member of the West Virginia House of Delegates, where he is Assistant Majority Whip.
Chris Ferro, Chief of Staff with the West Virginia Department of Agriculture, is a member of the Kanawha Southern Board of Approved Basketball Officials. He's been an official for 13 years.
He also worked Wednesday's Martinsburg-Morgantown tilt and he'll work a to-be-determined game today. Then, Friday night, he'll learn if he has a championship game assignment Saturday.
Local Talent on Display
Students from Wheeling Park and Magnolia high schools will be on hand today to help honor America.
Sarah Goddard, Glenna Brown, Kevin Shaffer and Mac Roberts, all from Magnolia, are scheduled to sing the National Anthem prior to Wheeling Central's quarterfinal contest against St. Marys. Classmates Brittany Buchanan and Renee Smith will sign the anthem for the hearing impaired.
Wheeling Park's Stephanie Lemasters will sing the anthem prior to the evening session's three games.

Yvresse has been a favourite of mine for a number of years - it is utterly predictable in the best possible way, reliable without ever being boring and still current even after all these years and ALL these new fragrances that continue to flood our markets - many of which smell much the same and don't last all that well and which are being churned out by latest-flavour-of-the-month bimbettes. Yvresse however, is a timeless fragrance, neither in, nor out of fashion and it is this well earned characteristic that I look for in my fragrances / a fragrance house. Certainly Yvresse is a staple in my collection. NOT EASY TO FIND which is annoying to say the very least... since they ask you here, not to use wicked words, but this fragrance makes you want to!! OK, it is gloriously wicked. I hope I'll always manage to find it right here!

Comments about Yves Saint Laurent Yvresse Perfume:
Not everyone can wear the same perfume. Yvresse suits me perfectly and draws many compliments. However, a friend asked to try it and when she sprayed it on, it gave her a headache and was too strong. So it depends on each person's physical makeup ie acidity/alkalinity as to whether ANY perfume suits them.

GMPP LS3 E-Rod Harness - E-Rod Wiring 101Written by on January 1, 2012 We show you how to integrate the GMPP LS3 E-Rod harness into a vintage engine bay
When we asked hot rodders what they thought about the GM Performance Parts E-Rod, we were surprised by how many people said they loved the idea, but were afraid it would be too difficult. The main concern we heard is that the very specific requirements for CARB emission legality would be too challenging for a guy in his garage to handle. We're here to tell you that it's not, and that's where the EcoNova project is a bit different from others we take on.
…we promised in the beginning we'd get down to the nitty-gritty details and take the fear out of the E-Rod swap.
We don't usually get quite so far into the minutiae of building a car, but we promised in the beginning we'd get down to the nitty-gritty details and take the fear out of the E-Rod swap. We've got the engine in place, now it's time to get the first critical phase of bringing our '76 up to '11 standards: the main wiring harness and ECU.
It's not brain surgery, but it does require that you exercise big-picture thinking…
GMPP worked hard to make sure the E-Rod kit is as user friendly as possible, but there are still quite a few variables up in the air—it all depends on what you're swapping it into. Nevertheless, if you follow the basic rules set forth in the instructions, the results should be a 2010-and-later emissions-compliant rod. Easier said than done, right? It's not brain surgery, but it does require that you exercise big-picture thinking since installing the harness, ECU, and drive-by-wire pedal assembly may have ramifications on how other parts of your car come together.
If you've never faced the prospect of integrating a full harness into a vintage car it can seem daunting at first, but it's not that bad. The harness is labeled, and the sensors are already installed on the engine. So here we go with the first installment of integrating the E-Rod: Wiring 101.
GMPP worked hard to make sure the E-Rod kit is as user friendly as possible, but there are still quite a few variables up in the air…

You can hide as much as you like, but we opted to keep it simple and mount everything underhood since all of the E-Rod components have been approved for that. There are two connectors, however, that must go inside the cab: the drive-by-wire pedal plug and the OBD2 port. We like to create as few new holes as possible, so we enlarged the original gas pedal mounting point just enough to wiggle them through.Take this group of four wires, for example. The coolant, generator, cam, and mass airflow (MAF) sensor will run down the driver side of the engine.Once you've got your basic battle plan, transfer the bundle onto your windshield with the wires still grouped basically into left and right bunches.Those plugs are far too big for a suitably sized grommet to slide over, so to take care of that rectangular hole in an oddly shaped location we decided to fab our own grommet clasp from some scrap sheetmetal.The coolant sensor is located on the front of the driver-side cylinder head. This is critical for E-Rod emissions compliance; the ECU controls the electric fan through this sensor and is set to turn on at 207 degrees F.The two sides slide together to capture the grommet and even reuse the original screws and holes from the gas pedal mount. If you've got a bead roller, you can make a bevel that will allow the two pieces to sit flush, otherwise a good bead of gasket maker between the clasp and firewall will seal it nicely.The cam sensor uses a specific pigtail from GMPP to adapt from the E-Rod harness to the sensor on the LS3 located down by the dampener. The pigtail should be in a separate package of sensors included with E-Rod packages.If you're using a GM alternator, you'll plug this four-pin connector directly in, however, if you've opted for an aftermarket one-wire alternator that is self-exciting like our PowerMaster unit (included in the Eddie Motorsports accessory drive), this plug won't be used. Our sources at GMPP say there shouldn't be any issues with trouble codes by doing this. All we need to do here is run a wire directly from the terminal on the alternator to the battery; the capped-off plug on the PowerMaster is nonfunctional.
Aftermarket accessory drives that move the A/C compressor up to the top of the engine for clearance will probably create a fitment issue for the purge solenoid for the evaporative emissions canister. No sweat: We used a piece of scrap sheetmetal to create this simple bracket that raises the solenoid up about � inch and rearward about ⅜ inch.Speaking of the back of the engine, the oil pressure sensor tucked in behind the intake manifold is an easy one to miss. The red cap in the background is a vacuum port we'll use for the brakes.Due to varying engine bay configurations, the air induction and MAF sensor mounting are up to you. The basic specs are that the tube needs to be 4 inches in diameter with a minimum straight section of 6 inches. The MAF sensor itself needs to be mounted in the middle of the straight section of tube, but at least 10 inches from the throttle body and in the correct orientation. It's not as hard as it may sound, but it is important to get correct. Want to see what we did? Check out PopularHotRodding.com or our Facebook page for the web exclusive story.The solenoid has a tab on it that will grab the outer edge of the bracket, so once you run a bolt through it there won't be any movement. The bright red and blue plug for it is hard to miss.There are three ground wires on the main harness bundle: one on the passenger side and two on the driver side. Make sure to provide a clean surface for ground and also ground-strap the engine. We've seen plenty of ECU issues that were traced back to floating grounds.In the same bundle of wires as the evap solenoid plug is the electronic throttle-body plug. There's no way around it for emission certification—the factory drive-by-wire throttle body must be retained.Our original A/C box was severely damaged and all the components inside needed to be replaced, so we opted to delete it, which also created a nice mounting location for our E-Rod ECU on the firewall. If you mount it in this configuration and allow the harness to loop over behind the wheelwell, the three large ECU plugs will line up perfectly. You can mount this inside the cab, but it'll take a significant hole to slide the three large ECU plugs through. If you have an original style box, go with a low mount under it or on the wheelwell.Over on the passenger side, the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor also has a specific pigtail that should be in the bundle with the various O2 sensors.
The E-Rod ECU doesn't come with mounts, so we used these spare vibration isolators we had from an MSD ignition box. We love these things; you can get them straight from MSD and tons of them are on eBay. Electronics-style vibration mounts will work as well.We're planning to move the EcoNova's battery to the trunk, so the original location made the perfect spot for the fuse and relay box. These boxes have only one tab for mounting; we used a 2-inch piece of tube as a spacer and a long bolt to mount it directly to the wheelwell. We're still debating on whether we should figure out a way to secure the other side. Running up into the fender is the bulkhead for the transmission (more on that in a later issue), as well as the gray fuel pump wire and blue fan wire. Both are relayed in the fuse box and must be connected directly to the power side of the pump and fan respectively, or else trouble codes will be triggered.There are plenty of ways to mount the pedal; our solution is to use heavy-wall tube leftover from control arm fabrication to space it out from the firewall a couple inches. Once we're happy with the positioning, we'll weld the tubes to the stock pedal bracket and tie them together with a plate for extra strength.Along with the accelerator pedal plug, two additional wires need to be integrated under the dash. The red ignition switch wire should be tapped into the ignition harness for keyed 12 volts. On older GMs this will be a thick orange wire. The gray MIL wire is the trigger for the check engine light. It supplies the ground for the circuit when triggered. We'll probably tie this into a stock idiot light, though we're tempted to put in an actual check engine indicator. The OB2 port just needs to be accessible, so anywhere under the dash is fine. We'll likely mount it on the backside of the radio.The drive-by-wire pedal needs to be mounted to the firewall, but it's unlikely to land exactly where you want it. GMPP recommends a 2-inch height difference between the brake and accelerator pedal to account for brake pedal travel. The accelerator only needs .75 inch of travel to be at WOT.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Boston College took on a Clemson team last
week at home only to lose by two touchdowns. The Eagles will soon take on
third-ranked Florida State in Tallahassee (Oct. 13), just one year after the
Seminoles blew them out, 38-7.
The loss was the worst beating Boston College has taken from Florida State
since losing 41-7 in 1980. One has to think the Eagles are looking forward to
that matchup, especially since they have defeated the Seminoles three of the
last six meetings.
In between the Clemson loss and the Florida State game, Frank Spaziani's squad
has to travel to West Point, N.Y., and play a winless Army team coming off a
loss to Stony Brook. Expect the Eagles to look past the Black Knights in a
perfect sandwich spot that favors Army.
The Black Knights have not played as badly as their 0-4 record suggests. Prior
to the loss to Stony Brook, they gave the Wake Forest Demon Deacons all they
could handle before losing by 12 in Winston-Salem. Army trailed by less than a
touchdown with three minutes to play while posting over 500 total yards.
The week before, the Black Knights had to travel from San Diego to West Point
and almost beat Northern Illinois. The Huskies needed a touchdown inside the
final five minutes to edge Army, 41-40.
Army should move the ball against a Boston College defense that has allowed 436
yards per game this season. The Eagles also are 94th in the country against the
run while giving up 4.5 yards per carry. Moreover, defensive tackle Kaleb
Ramsey and defensive end Kasim Edebali are questionable with injuries.
Boston College's offense has been much improved under new offensive coordinator
Doug Martin. The Eagles are 13th in passing with 330 yards per game. However,
they are 108th in quarterback completion percentage.
If the Black Knights can control the clock with their running game, the odds
are strong they will be able to stay within single digits of Boston College
from start to finish.
Take Army plus 10 points in this week's key three-star play.
Notre Dame has been extremely impressive on defense, allowing a grand total of
36 points in four games. Two weeks ago, the Fighting Irish held Michigan to two
field goals in their 13-6 victory. Still, the fact the Wolverines threw six
interceptions and Notre Dame managed just 13 points does not bode well for the
Irish on Saturday.
Miami (Fla.) comes to South Bend to renew one of the better rivalries from
the 1980s. The 4-1 Hurricanes already are 3-0 in conference play and their only
defeat this season came at the hands of Kansas State.
The Hurricanes averaged 43 points per game against Georgia Tech and North
Carolina State, but it is doubtful they will put up that number against
Notre Dame. Then again, the Irish won't be scoring 37 points as the Wolfpack
did last week against Miami (Fla).
Take the Hurricanes plus 13 points.
Houston finally got into the win column last week with its 35-14 victory over
Rice. The Cougars now face North Texas after the Mean Green held on to beat
Florida Atlantic, 20-14.
North Texas managed only 307 total yards against one of the worst teams in the
country (Rice) just one week after falling at home to Troy.
Houston won't dominate North Texas as it did last year when Case Keenum and Co.
outgained the Mean Green by 400 yards. Still, the Cougars should be able to
cover a spread that is less than two touchdowns.
Take Houston minus 12 points.
Washington State is getting 15 points from Oregon State as the two Pac-12 clubs
get it on in Corvallis. The last time they played there the Cougars prevailed,
31-14, while getting 24 points.
Oregon State got its revenge in Seattle last year, winning, 44-21. Nonetheless,
the Cougars played the entire second half without Jeff Tuel. The senior
quarterback could start on Saturday if Connor Halliday is unable to go. Either
way, this is a team that is getting better each and every week.
The Beavers have been a pleasant surprise this year with three consecutive
victories. They come home after back-to-back Pac-12 wins on the road and might
be a tad overconfident against the Cougars.
Take Washington State plus 16.5 points.
Finally, the Utah State Aggies have gone under the total in seven straight
games while BYU has gone under the number in its last five contests.
Furthermore, the last time these two teams went over the total when playing
each other was all the way back in 2002. Last year's contest was a push while
the previous four matchups were all unders.
Given that BYU is now relying more on a ground game with freshman quarterback
Taysom Hill running the show, and Utah State has yet to allow more than 20
points in a game, the odds are strong that another under will come to fruition.
Additionally, the Cougars are allowing opposing rushers fewer than two yards
per carry while the Aggies are giving up fewer than three yards per carry. Both
squads are in the top 11 in total defense and top 20 in scoring defense.
Take under 46 points.
In an earlier column, I mentioned North Carolina State +15 (Florida State)
and Texas Tech +6 (Oklahoma) as two home underdogs to keep an eye on. The
Wolfpack and Red Raiders are two other top of the list three-star choices for
Week 6.
Go with Indiana +16 (Michigan State), Toledo -10 (Central Michigan), Kansas
+24.5 (Kansas State), New Mexico -3.5 (Texas State) and Florida +2.5 (LSU).
Take Arizona +9 (Stanford), Massachusetts +17 (Western Michigan) and ULM -3
(Middle Tennessee).

Establishing Fair Prices for Classic Scopes
Posted 01 April 2013 - 10:00 AM
Typically if I want to sell something, I will attempt to see what my item has sold for before - I will do an archive search both here and on "other" sites. If I bought used that is always a good starting point, as is the price I paid for something new. I am very careful with my equipment, generally most of my stuff looks as new as the day I purchased it, so I will price something at about 70 to 75% of what I paid, unless reasearch dictates otherwise. Sometimes with used equipment and demand, with improvements I may have made I do feel justified in asking for a bit more than what I paid. In all cases there is always a justifiable reason for doing this. However even with all of these guidelines pricing can be tough. I do not think that any of us really want to be mercenary, yet we do not want to give away things either.
I think some thought should always go into pricing an object for sale, especially something rare and old where you do not have too much if any data to go by. In that case you can always price your item a bit higher than what you really think it will likely sell for and then negotiate down. An extremely quick sale is a sure way of knowing that you priced your item too low, and when that happens there is nothing you can do about it but sell it for what you priced it at and learn from your mistake.
I was recently asked about how a rare and initially expensive Unitron telescope should be priced. That prompted me to create a poll on the UnitronTelescopes Yahoo Group to help establish some pricing guidelines. That poll is going on now. It is a pity that we do not have a mechanism to do polls here, I believe they would be a very valuable tool.

There were a lot of Unitron models missing on the list.
I selected four models - the Unitron #114, the #142, #152 and the #510. I created 5 price brackets for each. Obviously some scopes were left off - the photo-equatorial scopes, the compact scopes, the rich-field scopes and the #128 60 mm equatorial......they will have their day.
I agree with others, price is a moving target and all is thrown off if you get someone that just has to have it. Much like at a real auction. Is $1000 a fair price if just one person is willing to pay it and if all other bidders in the room stops bidding at $300? Remember that most will not bid at all beyond the ridiculously low give away price. No, $1000 is off the bell curve. Hopefully the poll I created will help define just where the bell curve is. Others can do similar things for other scopes at other locations where polls can be created.

Posted 01 April 2013 - 06:59 PM
They are not baseball cards... They are much more rare, how can you publish a market value when your sample size is so low?
We have over 650 members in the Unitron Group, so if most owners choose to participate in the poll, the sample size is not low. Yes, the price paid for any item, whether it be a mint condition 4" Unitron #152 or a 67 Mustang Fastback is demand driven as it is for any item out of production.
My intention in creating the poll was not to manipulate price but to serve as a tool. If we can establish a pricing bell curve it will help those that are interested in a purchase and help those in setting a price who want to sell.
I would think that most here that have something for sale will do a bit of research in setting a price, a reasonable price that leaves both buyer and seller happy. In most cases the information that can be ferreted out is pretty meager, a much smaller sampling of what I hope to create for a very small subset of classic telescopes. As good as the poll can be, it in truth is just a snapshot in time, a snapshot taken in April, 2013. Most buyers will hope that they do not pay too much and hopefully information gathered will help. They will generally be happy if the price they pay is smack dab in the middle of what most people would pay for an identical or similar item. Most sellers want to get a fair price for what they sell. Typically they will be satisfied if the price they get is smack dab in the middle of what most people get for an identical or similar item. Buyer is tickled pink if he gets something for a bit less and the seller is tickled pink if he sells something for a bit more.
In addition there will always be that fanatical buyer that has to have a particular something at almost any price. This does not change that at all. What it will hopefully do is give the prudent purchaser some guideline as to what most people who have bought and sold these particular scopes have paid and made.
Keep in mind that many of us do have somewhat limited funds and the money we earn by selling fuels future purchases that we make. We are all helping the telescope market economy!
Note - I have asked Unitron purchasers and sellers to participate in the poll, no one else. The intention is not to have those that really know little to nothing about a Unitron (or a Polarex) to participate in the poll. Speculating about what a price should be without having some buying and selling experience with these scopes first serves no purpose so non-Unitron owners should not participate.
Barry Simon

Recalling the Unitron price list from May 1st of that same year then,
The 6" scope was priced at eight months my salary!
So its no wonder they are rare today!
Posted 01 April 2013 - 08:46 PM
We, the collectors are always looking for the 'steal' of a low price and not willing to pay retail, unless we really want it. And then, if we didn't pay retail, we usually don't want to sell it for what we paid for it - we want a profit to help pay for whatever's next or some other expense. It's Buy Low, Sell High. Might as well open a Pawn Shop.
The reason I say we don't need a "Telescope Cartel", is that we don't need an exclusive group of people controlling the prices of anything. Think of De Beers and the Diamond Cartel - there's no shortage of Diamonds but for some reason, they still cost a lot of money because an elite group controls the monopoly.
Going for De Beer now

For that matter, perhaps changing the name of the entire forum to "Classic Refractor Telescopes" might also be a generally more descriptive, and of late more accurate term.
I'm joking... sort of.
Posted 01 April 2013 - 09:01 PM
I think a renaming of this thread to "Establishing Fair Prices for Classic Unitron Scopes" might be in order, as that is what seem to be primarily under discussion here.

Agreed - prices are all over the map, no matter what the type or brand. But if this is another Refractor Value thread, then the thread title should be changed to REFLECT that

City of Westminster It is impossible to even begin to capture everything that Westminster - the seat of Britain's government - has to offer. From stately Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament to the raucous Soho nightlife, from the bustle of Oxford Street, to the rolling vistas of the Royal Parks it would take weeks to describe everything to see and do in London's heartland. It also contains some of the best shopping in London, with Covent Garden's bustling market, the boutiques of Soho and Carnaby Street, and the towering department stores around Oxford Circus. As the shops close, London's West End comes alive, with dozens of theatres and music venues, and hundreds of bars and restaurants making sure that this is a borough that never sleeps.
