I want to sell my old XBox (not 360). How do I reset it to factory settings? Thanks.
Hi there.
Reformatting the hard drive will remove all data on the memory unit, once that is complete you can run the "Initial setup" for the console found under the System Settings. Just be aware, if you wish to reformat the hard drive you will need the console's serial number and this can be found under "System Info", via the System Settings and then console settings.
Ambassador - Here to help
It will be in the console setting section (I believe) if not then it should be in that system settings area
Follow Me On Twitter!
I'm trying to do the same thing, but searching on the internet it seems it is not possible. You should have a code to input but it is different for every Xbox. I have not found the code for my console yet.
Thankfully this has already been answered by our wonderful Ambassador: MeanMachine 47.
Thanks for conducting the issue, shows your leadership to your program.
If anyone has this request the please contact 'MeanMachine 47's Post and that should solve all the problem.
I have this issue as well. I have an original Xbox that I purchased used. Problem is someone had put a failed soft-mod on it and not all the hard drive is available (the original dashboard works fine, thank goodness). I have looked all over the internet and contacted Microsoft twice to get my unique "code" to allow for the factory reset. Every code I have tried has not worked and it seems the only options are to
A. open the console up, hook the drive up to my PC and fix it that way.
B try every possible button combination.
C try to find the elusive factory reset disc.
Any information you guys might have would also be helpful!!
please help me. .i forgot our family code. .please helep, .i have tried everything. .nothing happened. .please help :'( :'(

June 15, 1922 – May 17, 2013
William J. Soltis never considered himself a guardian angel, but that's how South Korea came to view the North Tonawanda man.
After 100 combat missions during the Korean War, including one in which he was shot down, Mr. Soltis was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross by the Air Force and Korean Medal of Peace by the South Korean government.
During a ceremony in Seoul in 2001, on the 50th anniversary of the war, a South Korean general looked at Mr. Soltis and five other veterans and said, "You all deserve to be called the guardian angels, who preserved the tradition and history of Korea and truly the freedom and lives of its people."
Mr. Soltis died Friday at his home in North Tonawanda. He was 90.
"My father was typical of the Greatest Generation in that he loved his God, his country and his family," said Linda Soltis, who chronicled her father's return to Korea for The Buffalo News in 2002. "In serving his country and United States Air Force, he got the 'bonus prize' because it allowed him to pursue his other great love, which was flying."
A native of Albion, Pa., Mr. Soltis developed his love of flying at an early age and, when World War II started, he followed his brother Daniel into the armed services and flew P-38 fighters while stationed in the Aleutian Islands. His brother died in 1944, when his B-17 bomber crashed in Italy on takeoff.
Mr. Soltis stayed in the Air Force and, as a flight leader during the Korean War, was shot down on his 69th combat mission in 1951, crash-landing in the Han River near Seoul. He escaped unhurt.
In the citation that came with his Distinguished Flying Cross, the Air Force cited Mr. Soltis' role that day in leading two other F-51s to the Kumwha area of North Korea, where they discovered a large collection of enemy troops, vehicles and gas supplies.
"Despite accurate ground fire, Lt. Soltis continued to press his attack on this target," the citation says. "In sustaining ground fire, Lt. Soltis was struck in the engine of his 'mustang' causing the loss of oil and coolant. With calmness and resourcefulness, he nursed his damaged aircraft across the bomb line and was forced to crash-land in the Han River."
Even after the war, Mr. Soltis continued to fly, and after completing jet training in 1952, he was assigned to the Niagara Falls Air Force Base. He lived at the time in Snyder, across the hall from American Airline stewardesses, one of whom was his future wife, Mary Newland of Toronto.
Mr. Soltis ended up making the Air Force his career – he retired as a major – and later flew the McDonnell F-101 Voodoo supersonic jet fighter, F-102 and Lockheed F-104 Starfighter. He was no stranger to breaking the speed of sound.
After his retirement in 1963, he and his wife settled in Wheatfield, and Mr. Soltis began a second career in the field of Civil Defense for the City of Niagara Falls. He retired again in 1976.
His survivors include his wife, Mary; a son, Michael; a daughter, Linda Lee; and two brothers Robert and Gilbert. His daughter Andrea died in 1992.
A memorial service will be at 4 p.m. Thursday in North Presbyterian Church, 168 Payne Ave., North Tonawanda.

Some public officials are just like children: Tell them what the rules are and it is just a matter of time before they devise loopholes to get around them.
So it is with laws intended to ensure government serves us. Both ethics and government openness laws need to be reviewed constantly to keep up with the ways some officials find to circumvent them.
West Virginia has strong open meetings and open records laws. But members of the state Ethics Commission are right to recommend the Legislature update the Open Governmental Meetings Act.
At the same time, care must be taken to ensure public officials do not use a review to insert more loopholes in the statute. One key to that is to insist the law's provisions be augmented, not modified to remove some existing protections.
One important improvement needed in the law concerns "emergency" meetings of public bodies such as boards of education, municipal councils and county commissions. Current law allows some relaxation of advance notice to the public of meetings when an emergency must be dealt with.
But the definition of an emergency is anything on which "immediate official action" is required. Public officials have wide leeway on what that means. It should be narrowed to ensure only genuine emergencies qualify for exemptions of some public notification rules.
Updating the open meetings law has been discussed by some legislators for about a year. Many lawmakers don't like reopening the discussion because it will subject them to pressure from local government officials who want the statute to require less, not more, accountability from them.
But public meetings and records laws are intended to serve the people of West Virginia, not those we elect or appoint to serve us. Legislators should review the open meetings statute in that spirit - and in the knowledge the people will be keeping a close, critical eye on the process.

To be eligible for graduation from any South Dakota Regental institution, students must pass a proficiency exam that tests knowledge in four areas: reading, writing, science, and math. This test is timed and must be taken during the designated CAAP testing days each fall and spring.
Although these exams are required, they offer you a unique opportunity to discover how much knowledge you have gained in the selected fundamental skill areas. The fundamental skills being measured are important for functioning in today's society and for completing upper level college work. Considering this, be sure to treat these exams very seriously, and try to do your best on each of the tests.
Failure to complete or pass the proficiency exam may result in suspension from classes and/or delayed graduation.
What is the nature of the exams?
For your future success in college and for assessing the quality of your future success in college, your participation in these evaluation programs is important.
The exams are designed to measure students' knowledge of material covered in general education courses. Each test requires 40 minutes to complete. The skills being tested are: Writing, Mathematics, Reading, and Science Reasoning.
Students who meet the following criteria will sit for the exams:
To ensure that students are prepared for the exams, incoming Freshmen must complete selected general education courses above in their first 32 credit hours. Sophomores must complete an additional 15 credit hours of the general education core in their first 64 credit hours. Board of Regents policy 2:28 details the information.
What if I am a transfer student?
Transfer students are subject to and must meet the proficiency examination requirements. Transfer students within the South Dakota Unified System of Higher Education are subject to the Board of Regents policy 2:28. Transfer students are eligible for testing as soon as they meet criteria associated with the level of degree they are seeking (see above).
Transfer students entering from outside the regional system with 48 or more passed credit hours accepted in transfer are subject to the same BOR policy. The specified 15 credit hours of general education must be completed as soon as possible.
When will I take the exams?
All students who are required to test during the Fall Semester of 2016 will be notified by email prior to the test date.
When will I know the results of the exam?
As soon as possible after testing, the student will receive the results and an explanation of how to interpret their achievement.
What happens if I am not successful on the first test?
College faculty, along with the Board of Regents, have determined the minimum required score on each exam. Students who do not meet the minimum required score on one or more tests must retest in the specific area(s) of deficiency. Retesting must occur within one year after initial testing. During that year, students may continue to enroll in courses. Students may retest twice during that year, the tests will be given just once each semester, and the student will be responsible for the cost of retesting.
What happens if I am not successful on the second retest(s)?
Students who do not achieve the minimum score on the second retest(s) will be denied subsequent registration at all Regental institutions. Students may arrange for retesting during any subsequent administration of the exam. Students who perform satisfactorily on the retest(s) will be allowed to register for the next term.
CAAP Practice Exams
More Sample Questions
If you are a new transfer student or if you cannot take the proficiency test on the scheduled date due to extenuating circumstances, a deferment form must be completed.
Out-of-state students will need to complete a proctor form and mail or fax it to the Academic Affairs Office.
Appropriate proctors include: Current or retired faculty members, professional educators, human resource professionals, community librarians, military officers, pastors, or supervisors.
Inappropriate proctors include: High school students, relatives, college peers, co-workers, or neighbors
Collegiate Assessment of Academic Proficiency (CAAP)
Minimum Score
· What happens if I do not pass one or more of the sections?
Students must complete two steps if they fail one or more sections of the test: first, they must meet with a designated academic advisor "to create, in collaboration with the academic advisor, and follow a development plan for remediation to be completed within one calendar year." Second, they must retake the failed portion(s) of the exam.
Students are allowed up to two retakes for each failed section of the exam. Retakes occur during designated CAAP testing days during fall and spring semester, and students retake only the failed portions of the exam.
Following the results of the exam, students will receive a letter that discloses test results and lists advisor contact information if students are required to complete a developmental plan.
· What happens if I don't pass my final retake?
Students who completed the maximum number of retakes (2) and who successfully complete a developmental plan, as required, have sixty (60) calendar days from the date of their final retest opportunity to provide written notification of their intent to appeal (for certification of proficiency using alternative methods) to the Vice President for Academic Affairs at the institution where they are enrolled as degree seeking. Students who fail to provide written notification of their intent to appeal within the specified time frame may only be readmitted if they are able to show evidence of satisfactory performance on the proficiency exam.
Students who fail to complete the required number of retakes and a developmental plan will be suspended from classes at any Regental university until they can successfully pass the proficiency exam. Because the exam is only administered once during fall and spring semester, respectively, the minimum length of suspension is one semester. Students who have completed all coursework will be denied graduation until they can successfully pass the exam.

Educating citizens on local government is good idea
March 20, 2013
Few people not connected directly to municipal government understand how it works. That can lead to misunderstandings, lost opportunities and avoidable problems....
"Let me have your liberal comic--Oh, I mean statirist--Bill Maher help you:"
Bill Maher is not going anywhere. What he said did not sting at all. And you're still a taker and need to learn how govt works starting at the local level.

"Your desperate effort to use militarymen to make some point is a character trait. One that has people screaming "baby killer" to our troops yesterday while today they advocate actually killing babies (Abortion)."
Once again your character trait of projection is quite obvious when you continually mention abortion to make some point. I don't continually use militarymen to make a point. This is also typical loon dictator propaganda. Now prove you are not some dictator sitting at some PC in some third world country.

Once again marjorie is up to the old game of accuse and expect someone to prove themselves innocent. Marjorie is not an American when doing so. Third world loon dictators use this tactic, therefore marjorie is a third world loon. Now, 2 can play that game. Hey marj, prove me wrong.

"Our military men and women are contributing way more than their fair share, so I'm pretty sure Major didn't mean them."
Marjorie consistently says 47%, although the actual figure is 46.4%. I'm positive he meant those serving, and those over 65 or blind who receive an additional standard deduction, along with the rest, including students and families with children, otherwise that figure is reduced significantly. It's always 47% repeatedly, so I am certain. Marjorie doesn't need help making itself look foolish while dissing all these people who earn and pay nothing. Marjorie is not educated and should start at the local level as suggested by this report and work its way up to the top for a better understanding of its meaningless talking points.

"FlyonIt:"this category include students and many of our elderly who have contributed in the past""
I would hope you do realize that there are deductions, itemized or standard, to income to calculate taxes.
See IRS topic 551 for the standard deductions used by those who file and earn and can reduce their tax liability to zero. A student working part time would in all liklihood pay zero. Those over 65 or blind receive an additional standard deduction. More earners added to the 47% myth you seem obsessed with. How in the world can someone with no income contribute? Now we'll hear about welfare, but not the corporate kind, huh?

"Shame on you. When I have to carry YOUR load"
You don't know me, thus you are making assumptions. For all I know you could be one of those who don't pay. Just saying you contribute doesn't make it true. Carry on with your foolish drivel making you look even more foolish when ASSuming.

"fly: "... you are referring to members of the military serving in a war zone..." not sure where you came up with that crap. I didn't see that anywhere."
Guess you aren't paying attention. The 47% who pay no income taxes are for those who filed income tax returns, thus having an income. That would include a family of 4 earning $40000 due to the last tax cuts and giving them a $2000 tax credit for 2 kids and tax bill of zero. Tax credits can also provide a refund if the tax burden is less than the credit. Example, tax bill $1500, you get $500 refund. Hope this helps explain why many do not pay. Have more than 2 kids and get an even bigger refund.
Google "Military Pay Exclusion — Combat Zone Service" and you will see it's not crap and marjorie is actually dissing our military and families and seniors and students. I'm a veteran and know what's it like to serve. I wouldn't do it again knowing there are fools who could care less about vets.

Major: I have paid into the Social Security fund for 44 years, paid all kinds of ridiculous taxes for that same period of time, and have contributed significantly to society since I started working when I was 14 years old. When, and if, I ever retire, I would hope to reclaim some of what I put into the system. I have paid and paid and paid.
While I completely support you in your view that those that don't pay shouldn't receive, we have to look a little further than making a hard and fast rule about it.

"What kind of village is it when some pay nothing and others pay everything?"
For someone who constantly parrots this BS, you do realize you are referring to members of the military serving in a war zone. Others in this category include students and many of our elderly who have contributed in the past. Why type of person goes against our military in such a manner to present them as "moochers? Someone who has no morals and is greedy. Carry on concern troll and show us how you fit that category of people.

What we need is government that is forced by its constiuents to behave in a moral, honest, transparent way or be voted out and a government that isn't allowed to buy the silence of its citizens by goody giveaways. Too many low information voters allow a government to behave in a morally irresponsible manner. I agree we don't need people finding a way to get more goodies from government -- every civilization that had people doing that fell. However we do need people to demand that government be responsible to do its job correctly and fairly. We certainly don't have that in Jefferson County and if we as citizens don't hold them to account, they go right on doing whatever suits them without regard to right or wrong. In other words, be informed, and know how government works and let officials know if you feel they are not serving the public interest. At the same time, thank the few heros we have in government for stemming the tide of ignorance, graft and general wrongdoing.

In the case of Martinsburg, city officials would first need to genuinely WANT people to know how things work and participate in their government. I think it's quite fair to say that they really don't want to be bothered with citizens knowing what's going on and having any input.

Chris,your Editorial is spot on - it's a good exercise when one thinks about the thousands of homeowners in HOAs that are not in-the-know clear on HOW TO FUNCTION. Many homeowners purchase their property and find out much too late what it takes to administer the business of their association - that association is considered quasi-governmental.
The eight-county Eastern Panhandle Organization of Homeowners Associations (EPOHOA) is doing just what you wrote about, sharing information & increasing knowledge. From utilities, to road maintenance, and, budgeting but most of all following thru with fiduciary responsibilities and requirement(s) such as HOAs must be registered with the WV Secretary of State as well as the Feds.
Just like state & local government, Homeowners elected to boards are required to step outside their immediate circle of family and neighbors and make decisions based on the greater good of the community - HOA 101.

What used to be the best channel ever but it sucks a really lot now.
Nickelodeon ruled 10 years ago, now it sucks.
by qwerewq March 18, 2004
Trending Now
Can you define these popular missing words?
Used to be a classic favorite by all, it canceled all of it's good shows such as Welcome Freshmen, Salute Your Shorts, Rocko, Ren & Stimpy, and Nick Arcade. They started to aim towrds the sterotypical children that were spawning from somewhere. They began covering the new "pop" (aka. crap, homo-gays, %*&*) groups that were spawning from the same place as the sterotypical children. They struck back with Invader Zim, but was canceled because the type of humor flew right over the little kids heads. It now hold the personal record by about every person in America above the age of 13 as the worst television station and ahould be plagued with head cancer.
Nickelodeon REALLY sucks now.

A channel that has sold out to the max. Used to have great shows like salute your shorts, pete and pete, and doug. Now they have these stupid mindless cartoons that would put a kid with adhd to sleep.
6 year old kid: Nickelodeon is my favorite channel!
Me: My young friend, you shall never know.

A now horrible kids channel. It started off pretty good with Ren and Stimpy and Rocko's modern Life (even Angry beavers wasn't all shit) but promptly canceled all their good shows and started to play towards f*cking 6-year olds. Then came Spongebob and it almost completely died. It made a brief (but amazing) comeback with Invader Zim, but, of course, they cancelled it, leading to its utter doom. Now, unless they bring some good shows into their pathetic schedule, it wil soon be cancelled as well.
'Nuff said.
by Nick_sucks October 05, 2003
An Uber-retarded network that only exists to cancell its last few entertaining shows, and blatatntly mock animation.
Nick Executive:This shows ratings are off the chart, cancel it immediantly.
by Cap'n sludgy October 05, 2003
A television network station that once had spark and fun. Used to be made up of shows such as Rocko, Hey Arnold, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Are You Afraid of the Dark, and Clarissa Explains It All, just to name a few. This network has downgraded itself with "new and improved" clean innuendo shows such as Spongebob Squarepants and Fairly Oddparents. Tries to redeem itself with "TeeNick" network, but has not been successful. On the brink of being off the expanded cable network.
Nickelodeon is on the brink of extinction.
by Jay March 02, 2005
A great Kid's TV Channel until the mid-90's when it began to suck. It had supa-fly shows such as Clarissa Explains It All, The Adventures Of Pete and Pete, Doug, Salute Your Shorts, Ren and Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life, Ahh! Real Monsters, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Figure it Out and etc. Then they started to slowly decline as they kept replacing the cast of All That, made a new version of Double Dare called Double Dare 2000. Their good cartoons were taken off the air and their ok cartoons such as Rugrats, got worse and worse. They occasionly had a good show like Invader Zim but was cancelled probably cuz faux-punks who shop at Hot Topic started wearing Gir and Zim pins and T-shirts. Now they just suck and show crappy shows such as ChalkZone, Fairly Oddparents, Zoey 101, and Unfabulous.
Man, i miss Old School Nick.

Council to contemplate new cruisers
April 4, 2013
City Council is expected to vote tonight whether to permit the city police administration to pursue the purchase of four new police vehicles....
How can we afford this?

Why aren't they buying natgas cruisers?
Speaking of gas, what the heck does "manage the ceremony" mean? Busting out the mayor's customized podium?

Oh man more money for cop cars with sex appeal when will the insanity stop. Next comes the article about refinancing city deht to pay for unneeded cop cars, then the article of being over budget, then the article about increasing property taxes to fund the defict of the police force the cycle continues

This is something I think is an obvious waste of money, they don't need even more powerful vehicles, their current cruisers are just fine.

At jeff33: "How can we afford this?"
First, the money has already been budgeted for the purchases, but still requires Council approval.
Second, you replace cars before their trade-in/resale value falls below their depreciation so "we" get the most for the trade/sale.
Third, the cost of maintaining older vehicles increases, whereby "we" start paying more to repair vehicles that have less value and decreased reliability.
Fourth, the City has put off for at least two years purchasing the standard allotment of police vehicles so "we" could have more streets paved and a person manning a street sweeper.
And finally, do you actually think about what you write BEFORE you write it?
1 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Just because the vehicles are budgeted does not make it a good idea for their purchase. Walking police presence might be a better answer for both expensive cameras and new cruisers. Why doesn't City Council discuss purchasing motorcycles, bikes or scooters?

Police vehicles degrade faster because they are idled far more than a normal vehicle.
If they would focus on reducing idling, the vehicles would last longer.

It's all fine and good to mention reducing idling times but the damage occurs at starting an engine too. If it sits for awhile there is little lubrication on the cylinder walls at initial start up. Cruisers do rack up basically double the mileage of a normal car from idling so much. It's a double edged sword, do we turn the car off and when something needs immediate attention take the time to start and put it into gear and go or let it idle and be ready. I've ridden with officers on ride alongs and have seen both sides of that coin. Yes, it does take a couple of extra seconds to get started versus idling. A speeding car going by, 3-5 seconds more can mean alot.

more cruisers, yet they cant afford to pay the police to drive them. do you people have nothing better to do than find ways to waste money really???
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
love the comment from art.. hello have you driven on the streets?? nothings really been fixed but theres more cruisers? and WE as you so frequently use DO NOT see any of that money.. your taxes go up, those sales of police cars dont help your taxes OR the crappy streets. YOU really should think before YOU write because i believe more of us are NOT on your agreeance.

biobabycj -- The street repair comment I made was sarcasm. Clearly it -- and my common sense explanation from that post -- was lost on you and your "agree/disagree" scorecard mentality.
(Oh, and those red squiggly lines that appear under the words you type mean the word is spelled wrong or doesn't exist, such as your use of the word "agreeance." The definition of "agreeance" -- The word stupid people use instead of "agreement.")

Back To The Old ShackMonday, October 27th, 2008
Deep in downtown Manhattan, there used to be a street of dreams– Courtland Street. The far western end of it was known as "Radio Row." From what I understand, it was an old-fashioned electronics paradise. If I could afford one of those high-end time machines and could simply whoosh back to 1949 or 1958, one of the first things I'd do would be to jump on the Broadway IRT down to Chambers street and wander Radio Row— ogling the glowing dials, fondling those bakelite knobs, and tracing my fingertips over the bins and racks of cables and adapters and connectors. (And then… Coney Island!)
That end of Courtland Street is long gone. Tore it all down to build a couple of hefty skyscrapers back in the mid-60's. Strangely enough, they actually fell down seven years ago (you probably heard about it) and there's still just a big hole there with a bunch of men doing stuff. Heard they're gonna make a "freedom tower" (whatever that is). But you can be sure that they're not bringing back Radio Row." But I wish they were. Electronics stores don't fall over so easily.
Sadly, I didn't grow up in New York. Never saw radio row. (Never had a sandwich at an automat either.) I'm from the land where the strip mall and the tri-level home were perfected, where the lawns were manicured and grownups beat you every now and then. And if you had a passion for patch cords, police scanners or little suction cup doodads that could record your phone calls, you didn't have a radio row. You had "Radio Shack." And you had to love it. And they sent you full color catalogs in the mail. In fact, they used to ask for your address every time you bought something. They knew you wanted the catalog. Probably the second best type of bathroom reading a boy could get for free.
Now you may think it silly to say anything reverential about a chain store. And for many, the name "Radio Shack" was kind of a punch line for any joke about shoddy electronics. And if you were lucky to have a classy radio shop in your town, or a hot and well-equipped electronics franchise in the neighborhood, you could easily look down your nose at all the knock off goods with silly brand names like "Realistic" and "Optimus."
But what Radio Shack did do, they did very well. They served the working stiff and the average family, providing inexpensive and (somewhat) durable electronic gadgets and gear at reasonable prices– in a small "Sears" kind of way. But more uniquely, they were the neighborhood place to find all variations of audio receiver. And if you needed some part or piece or connector for a radio or sound system, you knew you could find it at your local Radio Shack. And it probably wouldn't cost you a fortune. The Radio Shack chain was a practical American reality. Like having a gas station nearby. And with more than six thousand stores across the country, there was usually one just a short drive away– at the mall, the shopping center, or out on the highway. And while Radio Shack was always handy for batteries, tapes and wires, I was always profoundly aware that these little stores always had cool radios in stock. Especially shortwave radios.
In retrospect, your local Radio Shack didn't really have the very best shortwave sets on the market, they always had a few really good ones. And in the days before more sophisticated anti-pilfering technology, the pricy/fancy radios were usually behind the counter or up on a high shelf over your head. For all the hundreds of times I visited Radio Shack outlets, I doubt I ever went out the door without at least briefly casting my eyes on the store radio shrine, and all the chrome and buttons and green digital display screens.
As I've been speaking of Radio Shack with atypical nostalgia (and using past tense) you may be working your way through this post looking for the obituary– a story of stores closing or some transformative merger at hand. Nope. In fact, you can stop looking for any definitive news about Radio Shack at all. Because the point here is more about definition, about how a huge chain of stores slowly stumbled away from its identity so far that it's not much more than a tiresome "Rite Aid" of electronics.
As you might imagine, the Radio Shack chain started as not much more than a supply store for radio hobbyists and professional radio operators. Then back in the early 60's they merged with a leather goods chain run by an ambitious dude named Tandy, and his vision made Radio Shack the ubiquitous hobby/technology mart we all knew and needed, and some of us loved (even if we wouldn't admit it). In the late 70's they started selling their own make of computer that did very well, and the chain flourished. It's easy to forget what computers were like so long ago. There was no public internet and very little software available. If you had a computer you could crunch numbers, write programs, and most significantly you could play games with them (which were incredibly primitive by today's standards). The point being it all fit in with the Radio Shack vibe– providing complex toys and all the accessories, for people who were serious (and even thoughtful) about having fun.
And then there were the radios. Radio Shack always had a wide variety. And a scan of the high-tech receivers on their shelves, or thumbing through one of their catalogs, gave you that big futuristic American feeling of technology on the march. And they had their own brand of radios. And the more elite and muscular models had bizarre features far beyond the understanding of most casual listeners. Radio Shack had radios for people who loved the gadgetry of radios and for people who wanted high-performance radios that could tune in signals from the other side of the world. Like me, and maybe you.
Through the 1990's there were changes afoot in radio-land. Beginning with the end of the cold war, which for many years had generated the scintillating content that kept people listening to shortwave radio. Then the march of technology made the need for elaborate lo-fi radios less relevant by some measure–In 1992 the world wide web was opened for business, and the next years web (streaming) radio, became a reality, followed by the creation of the graphical web browser in 1994. And then the next year an executive from Ralston/Purina took the helm of Radio Shack. While Radio Shack had become much more than a supply store for radio freaks, putting a pet food magnate in charge of a huge electronics chain with a very unique (and some might say eccentric) heritage might have been kind of a mistake.
Although there was a change in logo that came with the new guy in charge, Radio Shack didn't change all that much at first. But as the 1990's were grinding to a close, a lot of Radio Shack customers began to notice that a few things weren't right at their neighborhood "shack." Like the lack of radios.
I wasn't able to find any definitive writing on what really happened to Radio Shack, but I did find this article in a retail trade publication from 2005 all about the new and improved version of the electronics franchise, called "The Stuff Shack." And to read this insider write-up is to see just another example of how in our era of über-capitalism (is it over yet?) a retail entity which had long provided a valuable service to particular type of consumer abandoning their base clientele to pursue massive profits predicted by people with no fundamental understanding what made the business successful in the first place. In a nutshell:
"Earlier this year, the company announced plans to accelerate the rollout of a new product mix. The concept favors the chain's seven best categories: wireless, accessories, power, modern home, personal electronics, technical and services."
No mention of radios. Searching the document I found no instances of the words: "shortwave", "cables", "adaptors" or "antennas." These were all the reasons I usually went to Radio Shack. I really don't think many people begrudged Radio Shack for carrying a bunch of big ticket items and pushing cell phones like candy, but when their stores got really slack about stocking the kind of goods they were famous for, and the handy friendly geeks at the counter were replaced by slick sales sharks, it became painfully obvious that the service Radio Shack provided for thousands of communities was abandoned in the name of tawdry short-sighted greed. And the article I just quoted had one big revelatory announcement– Radio Shack had just hired a new Chief Operating Officer, a visionary woman who had spent the spent the last thirty years climbing the corporate ladder at McDonald's. (In her defense, I guess she did help "spearhead" the launch of McDonald's salad products and shepherded the "McRib" concept to fruition.)
The fact is the vast majority of radio related items that used to be the heart of the Radio Shack catalog have been discontinued. I've actually been in Radio Shack stores that had only one or two shortwave radios in stock. And forget about asking the floor hustler staff on hand any technical questions about them, or almost anything else. As you might imagine, I'm not the only one dismayed by the dawn of the super slick "Stuff Shack". (Check out some similar gripes here, here or here) So as a remembrance from the late glory days of Radio Shack, here's a souvenir. It's an informative starter kit for the fledgling shortwave radio listener.
Radio Shack Tape – The Sounds of Shortwave (1992) pt 1 10:53
"Welcome to the world of shortwave radio!" beckons this cassette tape after teasing with a tasty little collage of HF turning. "Listening to Shortwave" offers a respectable overview of how shortwave radio words and how to listen. Certainly not the masterpiece created by pop producer Mitch Murray (Long Live Shortwave!) that I offered in this post, but this Radio Shack production is more contemporary and discusses the more modern digital tuners we use today. Although more experienced listeners won't learn a lot listening to this tape, it really is a fairly thorough overview of the how and why of shortwave listening.
Side two is more fun, bringing home the "world at your fingertips" thrills that radio boys (of all ages) can still find so compelling. "So what's out there?," the announcer ponders, and then the production "hops around" the shortwave bands offering some radio flavor from some of the big players in international radio (BBC, DW, The Voice of Russia…). The samples aren't amazing, but they're good. Most offer tidy reception, although the sound is authentically rich with the inherent distortion that you grow to love as a shortwave listener. Not static, but the poetic audio artifacts of the technology and the planet it traverses.
Radio Shack Tape – The Sounds of Shortwave (1992) pt 2 11:28
One thing that's completely left out of the mix on this tape is all the evangelical stupidity and insanity that infests North American shortwave broadcasting. Probably because it's a touchy issue, and as this package is also sales tool to market Radio Shack's shortwave radios they wouldn't want prospective radio buyers to realize the scope and disturbing nature of Christian dreck clogging up the shortwave dial in the states. So although it's understandable, ignoring this reality makes this tape and booklet less than representational of "what's out there."
The "bandscan" offered is really a collage and not an accurate representation of the noise and faint signals you'd run across in a typical trek through the kilocycles, but with so many changes in what's available on the shortwave bands (and what's offered) it's hard not to feel a little nostalgic when you hear some of these snippets of shortwave broadcasting. But then again, 1992 feels like a long time ago right now. And at the end when the announcer talks about hooking your computer up to a couple of shortwave radio bulletin board systems (BBS) to pick up "a load of information" about shortwave schedules and propagation conditions.
Speaking of information– the accompanying book that came with this tape, "Listening to Shortwave," is a much more thorough shortwave radio primer, with plenty of charts, graphs and illustrations that would make any shortwave tenderfoot smarter, wiser, and better at small talk at any hamfest or at the annual Kulpsville gathering. And as a lagniappe for stopping by The Radio Kitchen today (and reading this through to the end), I offer you your very own copy of "Listening to Shortwave" as a PDF file. (Which you can download by clicking here.) And you're welcome.
When this kit was created, Radio Shack had specialized in shortwave radio for decades. And I'm sure they thought this starter kit would have a shelf life of a decade or more when they put it together. But time was not on the side of radio-heads at the Tandy corporate headquarters. The web opened up to the public that same year, and many things would soon change. The BBS systems that remained would be integrated into the internet, broadcasting around the world could soon be accomplished with a modem and a net connection, and in a year or two interloper food executives would start to turn a national hobbyist's lifeline into a mega-chain "stuff shack" for couch potatoes and teenage girls.
And I'm not even going to mention the BBC, and Deutsche Welle and now the RADIO NETHERLANDS ( !) all abandoning their English broadcasts to North America in this decade. It's just too damn depressing…
I probably never would have admitted the importance of Radio Shack in my life until recently. It was easy to make fun of the clips and coax and scanners– and some of the people you might see there (like me!). But ever since I was a kid, it was dependable– for radios I usually couldn't afford as well as practical patch cords and adapters I had a hard time finding anywhere else. And once I started to notice the radios missing from their shelves, and to find more and more people behind the counter at Radio Shack stores who didn't know a shortwave radio from a continuity tester ("But would you care to take a look at this humongous flat-screen TV?.") I realized I was beginning to grieve…
However, recent visits have led me to believe that the Radio Shack enterprise may actually be getting serious about reclaiming a little bit of their heritage. As I duck into RS outlets in my travels, I've been seeing a few of the new shortwave models on the shelves. I don't sense they're rebooting their brand again, but there seems to be a corporate move afoot to put a few radios on display at their outlets (as decorations perhaps?). If I had to venture a guess, it might just be that after years of customers coming into Radio Shack looking specifically for radios they might make a little cash if they had a few on hand… just in case. (I wish some of the great shortwave services of Western Europe would see it the same way, and beam some content over this way, just in case some of us might be listening.)
Here's how the "Sounds of Shortwave" tape ends. I admit it's hokey, but nonetheless, I approve this message:
"Just think of it. As you sit there listening to this tape, or flipping through the pages of the book, thousands of signals are zipping by you at the speed of light– voices and sounds from all over world just waiting for you to listen. All you need is a shortwave receiver, and some electricity to power it. And you're off on a wonderful adventure in the magical world of shortwave broadcasting.
Happy listening!"

Former Mount Pleasant Town Councilman Joe Bustos defeated incumbent Lin Bennett recently and will take over the post of chairman of the Charleston County GOP.
Bustos said he still plans to run for mayor and face incumbent Mayor Billy Swails, and possibly others, in a nonpartisan election this fall.
"Right now, I have slowed that (mayoral campaign) or stopped so that I can turn all my attention to this," Bustos said of his new post. "It's been requiring a lot of work, a lot of going out and meeting people in Charleston County."
Bustos said he was approached by a few people just days before Saturday's county convention, and he told them he would run but would not campaign. He said he left that up to them.
Bennett, who had not expected opposition, had fewer supporters turn out for the vote.
"Congratulations to Joe Bustos," she said. "He got his voters to come to the convention. That's the bottom line."
Former county GOP Chairman Mark Hartley said Bustos benefited from support from the party's Ron Paul faction, a libertarian-minded group that likes the Texas congressman and former presidential candidate. "We're all just absolutely disgusted that we let our guards down," he said.
Bustos said his supporters felt the party had drifted apart, "and I said I would accept the nomination if what was expected of me was to work as hard as I could to bring everyone together."

Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a serious infection caused by a virus. It occurs mainly in rural parts of Asia. JE virus spreads through the bite of infected mosquitoes. It cannot spread directly from person to person. The risk of JE is very low for most travelers, but it is higher for people living or traveling for long periods in areas where the disease is common. Most people infected with JE virus don't have any symptoms at all. For others, JE virus infection can cause illness ranging from fever and headache to severe encephalitis (brain infection).
Symptoms of encephalitis are fever, neck stiffness, seizures, changes in consciousness, or coma.
About 1 person in 4 with encephalitis dies. Of those who don't die, up to half may suffer permanent brain damage. There is some evidence that an infection in a pregnant woman can harm her unborn baby.
The best way to prevent JE is to avoid mosquito bites by:
Some travelers to Asia should also receive JE vaccine.
Japanese encephalitis vaccine is recommended for travelers to Asia who:
Laboratory workers at risk of exposure to JE virus should also get JE vaccine.
JE vaccine is approved only for people 17 years of age and older. Younger people needing protection from Japanese encephalitis should talk with their doctor.
The vaccine is given as a 2-dose series, with the doses spaced 28 days apart. The second dose should be given at least 1 week before travel.
A booster dose of JE vaccine may be given to anyone who was vaccinated more than one year ago and is still at risk of exposure, or might be re-exposed. Your doctor can give more information.
JE vaccine may be given at the same time as other vaccines.
If you will be traveling for fewer than 30 days, especially if you will be staying in major urban areas, tell your doctor. You may be at lower risk and not need the vaccine.
Like any medicine, a vaccine could cause a serious reaction. But the risk of JE vaccine causing serious harm, or death, is extremely small.
Mild Problems:
Moderate or Severe Problems:
Studies of this vaccine have shown severe reactions to be very rare. Like all vaccines, it will continue to be monitored for serious problems.
What should I look for?
Any unusual condition, such as a high fever or behavior changes. Signs of a severe allergic reaction can include diffi culty breathing, hoarseness or wheezing, hives, paleness, weakness, a fast heart beat or dizziness.
What should I do?
VAERS does not provide medical advice.

NEW YORK — When Robert Redford first called Bob Woodward to talk about a movie that eventually became "All the President's Men," the Washington Post reporter didn't call back.
Redford's call came early in Woodward's and Carl Bernstein's reporting on the coverup that later toppled President Richard Nixon. Redford, who portrayed Woodward in the movie, said the writer later told him he didn't believe it was the actor on the phone, and was worried about being set up.
"I don't know if it was that," Woodward said recently. "I think we were busy and wondering why he might be calling."
They were certainly busy, and a Discovery network documentary, "All the President's Men Revisited" which airs tonight at 8, shows why. Ultimately the focus is far more on the Watergate case than the film about it.
"I didn't want to make it too much about the movie," Redford said. "That would be self-serving. The intention was to look back at that time and stay in that time, leaving any comparison with where journalism was or Congress was in that day compared to today to the audience to decide or think about."
Politically, the contrast to today's hyper-partisanship was most obvious when a House committee voted on articles of impeachment. The documentary lingers on the solemn roll call, making the point that members of Nixon's own party had limits to how much they could stomach.
Redford hopes the Discovery show will bring the story of Watergate alive to young people who know about it only from books.
Filmmakers also try to give a contemporary context by interviewing people like Jon Stewart, Rachel Maddow and Joe Scarborough, along with many of the people who had been involved with the story at the time.
The film opens with a deeply weird moment that may stun people who didn't live through the time. Nixon is shown before television cameras just before he was to go on the air and tell the nation he was resigning, and he made an uncomfortable joke to journalists about the cameras catching him picking his nose.
That example, along with film of Nixon's perspiration-drenched speech before White House staff the morning of his resignation, are important character studies, Woodward said.
"Kids are going to say that how was that possible that this man was president of the United States?" Woodward said. "He is emotionally untethered."

Avrey Walker is a 9-year-old Redmond girl, battling leukemia for her third time. On Friday, her father talked about the experimental procedure she's undergoing in Philadelphia, where a disabled HIV virus is being used try to destroy the cancer cells.
"We're blessed to be here, and we're happy that they have this new technology, that's going to save my girl's life," Aaron Walker said.
Avrey is recovering at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. After her second relapse with cancer, the Walker family flew across the country for something only five other children have tried.
"She's doing pretty good considering the circumstances," Aaron said. "She's had some rough treatments here, with a line placed in her jugular vein yesterday, and they've pulled blood out today. So it's pretty rough on a little girl, but we need to do it and we're doing what we have to do."
In the procedure that took place Thursday, doctors collected Avrey's T-cells. Doctors plan to infect her healthy cells with the HIV virus to help kill the cancer. The virus has been engineered to where it can't cause disease any more, but it can still attack leukemia cells.
"We're going to wait for our cells to be engineered here, then we're going to return," said Aaron. "They will to use those cells to attack Avrey's cancer, hopefully kill it for good."
It will take about five weeks to engineer the cells, so in the meantime, Avrey will undergo more chemotherapy to keep the cancer at bay. The family will return to Philadelphia for about a month, while Avrey undergoes the last phase of the process.
For some children, the procedure completely cured the cancer. The Walker family hopes and prays for the same outcome.
"She knows we're here to fight, and we're here to win this thing, so she's on board with that for sure," Aaron said.
Because this experimental procedure is so new, it will not be covered by the family's insurance. A bingo night is planned at 5 pm on Thursday, Feb. 7 at Cascade Lakes Brewing Co. in Redmond.
A Wells Fargo account has also been set up under "Aaron and Avrey. The family has expressed their gratitude for everyone in Central Oregon, who has been supporting them in this time of need.

Education is the topic of the day.
You can read about our choice over at Chicago Moms.
Private school is a huge financial investment....and I stress the term investment. But for us, it would completely affect our budget and cause our savings to dwindle.
Matt goes to a public grade school and so far, so good. No school (public or private) will protect our children completely. We can't expect private schools to take over what we should be doing at home to begin with. But that's a whole other subject!
I think every family needs to do what's best for their child. No judging here!
They all have their pros and cons... both DH and I were homeschooled. He attended some private school. I attended public high school. AND I was a public high school teacher. LOL
So we have some experience in all areas of the issue...
We are still undecided though. :)
We're aiming for our parish school, and homeschooling is a close second. I have no public school experience (as a student), so it's not very high on my list.ReplyDelete
I am finding as I do more research and speak to different parents that one type of schooling isn't best for every child. I always thought I would enroll my kids in the Christian School but it is just not affordable for low to middle income families and definetely not for us since I am a SAHM to my 2 boys. Over the last year I have been researching homeschooling as a second choice. For Jk and Sk, Kayla has been in the public school and it has been wonderful so far.
I agree with glass half full though- teaching our kids about christianity, character building, values etc., I believe, is our job as parents.
Being a teacher in a public school makes a big difference. I see kids who come to the public setting after homeschooling has fallen apart, and vice versa. I think you have to do what is right for your family!@ReplyDelete
it is something that We are thinking about (private school that is.) i guess we'll see..ReplyDelete

Hillary Clinton is alone at the top, at least for now.
She may have lost the 2008 Democratic nomination to then-Sen. Barack Obama, but a new Quinnipiac University National Poll finds her to be the most popular politician in the United States, with a 61 percent favorability rating a full 10 points higher than the president's 51 percent.
Only 34 percent of the respondents viewed Clinton unfavorably, a 27-point difference, while 46 percent viewed Obama unfavorably, a difference of just 5 points.
When asked if they approved or disapproved of the job Obama was doing as president, 46 percent approved and 45 percent disapproved.
Quinnipiac University Polling Institute's assistant director Peter A. Brown offered some commentary on the poll's findings. "After an initial burst of re-election enthusiasm for President Barack Obama," Brown said, "we may be seeing a return to the age of the polarized electorate. The difference in favorability ratings for the two leaders lies in Clinton's ability to win thumbs up from many more independent voters and Republicans than does the president."
Vice President Joe Biden (46-41) and new Secretary of State John Kerry (43-33) were the only other national figures with favorability ratings higher than 40 percent.
The poll was released Friday and was conducted Jan. 30-Feb. 4 among 1,772 registered voters, with 33 percent of the sample identifying as Democrats, 24 percent as Republicans, 34 percent as independents and 9 percent as "other."
Apart from the 27-15 split for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, with 57 percent not knowing enough about him to form an opinion, the poll did not offer much in the way of good news for Republicans.
House Speaker John Boehner was viewed favorably by just 20 percent of the respondents, while 42 percent viewed him negatively.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush had a 25-29 split, with 45 percent not knowing enough about him to form an opinion.
Rep. Paul Ryan, the 2012 GOP vice presidential nominee, had a 34-36 favorability split.
Former Sen. Chuck Hagel, who served two terms in Nebraska as a Republican, had a 14-18 split with 67 percent saying they did not know enough about him to form an opinion. When voters were asked if they approved or disapproved of Obama nominating Hagel to be the next Defense Secretary, 21 percent approved, 20 percent disapproved and 57 percent did not have an opinion on the nomination.

A former Medina man who had been on the run for more than two months has been apprehended near Erie, Pa., and will be extradited by U.S. Marshals.
The Orleans County Major Felony Crime Task force announced Monday that Allen M. Young, 36, who currently has no address and once lived in Medina, was approached by investigators Dec. 13 in a parking lot on Routes 104 and 63, but he fled in a vehicle, nearly striking two task force investigators.
He left the scene at a high rate of speed, and moments later, the Orleans County Sheriff's Office received a call of a crash with a vehicle off the road on Marshall Road, north of Route 104.
Investigators said Young fled on foot into the nearby woods.
At the scene of the crash, investigators seized from Young's vehicle more than a half-pound of marijuana, more than a pound and a half of methylone, which is a federally controlled substance known as bath salts, a scale, packaging and other drug paraphernalia.
Investigators said Young fled to Florida, but earlier this month they received a tip he had returned to this area.

On this blog we spend a lot of time studying "the great ones", in business, of history and in sports. I believe that there is a lot that we can learn from other people's success and what they do to get there.
Sports is a great place to study greatness because we all get a front row seat to watch a player's teamwork, hustle, and heart. We can see a player's rise and fall, and analyze what they did to get there.
I have a group of friends in my life that every time we get together we end up debating the great ones throughout NBA history. One of my friends, Steve, was the star of his high school basketball team. He took the same drive that averaged him 28 points a game in high school and channeled that into business, becoming the CEO of a multi-million dollar company. When Steve and I get together we talk about faith and philosophy, business principles and sports, but ironically, it's only when we talk about sports that we get into heated debates.
I decided to share my thoughts on the best NBA players of all time, both those with and without rings, and let the debate begin. Athletes are our modern day gladiators, and most of us love watching and discussing our sports legends. We may not all agree on who's best, but I hope we can find some common inspiration from these NBA warriors.
10. Isaiah Thomas– I had to choose Thomas over Dwayne Wade because it's still too early to tell with Wade, but also because Isaiah made his teammates better. He was a fighter and a competitor. He also has two championships plus a season where he averaged 21 points, 14 assists, and 2.3 steals per game. For these reasons, he makes my top 10.
9. David Robinson– Some of you may argue this one, but I put him on this list for a few reasons. He was never the player who wanted a ton of attention. He has two championships, an MVP award, and scored 71 points in a game (yes, I know it was the last game of the season and he was trying to beat Shaq for scoring champion). It's still a ton of points. What I'm very impressed with is the fact that Robinson passed the torch to Tim Duncan in the classiest way. He not only became a leader, but replaced himself when he left San Antonio to make Duncan the next name on this list.
8. Tim Duncan– He has four NBA titles. He was always dependable. Although he did it with no flash, Duncan always delivered when necessary.
7. Hakeem Olajuwon– He had the greatest foot work for a seven-footer in the history of the NBA. Kobe once visited Hakeem to improve his foot work. He's a two-time NBA Champion. And he's from my wife's hometown, so I had to put in on the list to represent the great city of Houston.
6. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar– He leads the league in points scored in his career. He's also got six rings, and six MVP's to go with that. He's a given on this list.
5. Larry Bird – He couldn't jump more than an inch, couldn't win a dunk contest with an eight-foot rim, and you couldn't get a smile out of him, but Bird was one of the greatest fighters the NBA has ever seen. This man knew how to fight and he worked his tail off.
4. Shaq– Like Madonna or Prince, he doesn't need a last name. He is simply SHAQ: the most dominant center in the history of the NBA. If Shaq and Kobe could've worked it out, they easily could've had 7-9 championships together. Ego got in the way.
3. Magic Johnson – Some will argue that Magic is the greatest player of all time because he made everyone else on the team better. Also, Magic could play all five positions. Even though his career best points in a game was only 42, many times he almost averaged a triple-double in an entire season, which is an incredibly difficult thing to do. Magic was a winner all the way from high school to college, to the NBA and to the Olympics. This warrior was amazing. On a side note, he definitely wins the award for "Best Smile in the NBA".
2. Kobe Bryant – You can't take anything away from Kobe. His 81 points in a single game (1/22/2006) is by far much tougher than when Chamberlin scored 100; Kobe had to fight for it. Only two players in the history of the game have scored 50 plus points four games in a row (Kobe and Wilt Chamberlin). Kobe has five rings, which ties him with Magic. He's been a Laker his entire career. He's had five, 60-point games in his career (Jordan only had four). He's a much better shooter than Jordan. There once was a time where Kobe had a shot at fighting for the position of #1 greatest player of all time, but he lost it when he lost twice in the NBA finals (Jordan never lost a final). Kobe had Shaq. Jordan had Scottie. Jordan won six titles with Phil Jackson. Kobe won five. If Kobe would've won this year, and then won one more without Phil, then we would have room to argue that he should be #1 on the list.
1. Michael Jordan – The reason that I put Jordan first on the list is that he can easily be argued as the greatest athlete of the 20th century. Jordan also had an incredible drive to win. If there was a leaderboard for players who hated losing more than the rest, Jordan would be #1 on that list. What impresses me about Jordan is not his six rings (he would have had eight, if not for his break), or his five MVPs (he would have had 8 if the NBA
didn't have to share the love with other players). And it's not the fact that he averaged 37.1 points per game in his 1986 season after coming off of a season-ending injury in 1985. All of these things are great accomplishments, but what makes Jordan #1 is that he became the new standard in ability and athleticism. That new standard extended to off the court as well. Jordan was the best at post-game interviews. He was the total package in the NBA.
Let the debate begin! I look forward to hearing who else you would suggest belongs on this list or who should be removed or put in a different order, and why.
