Yes - Meat Madness.
So Good blog has a new take on March Madness, and it doesn't involve basketball.
The tournament bracket includes four conferences of meats (poultry, red meat, pork and seafood) and lets you decide via daily polls who will be the champion meat.
Right now there are two faceoffs happening: salmon vs. crab and scallops vs. mussels. Head over to So Good to vote on those until noon today.
For the record, I voted for crab and scallops. Both are currently in the lead, although crab is the underdog (all the meats are seeded).
Good stuff.

Toshiba recommends Windows.

800-705-2397 email@example.com
I've followed Toshiba instructions in prep for Windows 8.1 update tomorrow. I updated all the item in Service Station and uninstalled Realtek WLAN driver per Appendix A instructions (I used Control Panel/Program Uninstall but not Device Manager which now says there is unknown Network Adaptor for Wireless). I lost wifi connection but hooked up to ethernet to access internet. Instructions now say to install drivers before installing Windows 8.1.
Service Station does not show driver updates so I checked on support.toshiba.com for compatible drivers with my Toshiba Satellite C55-A5309 (64bit). There are two displayed with posted date of Oct 17, 2013:
(1) Realtek Wireless LAN version 2012.1.0712.2013 Logo 68.54M
(2) Atheros Wireless LAN driver version 10.0.0.263 37.45M
How do I know which to choose/install before I install Windows 8.1?
Thank you, Sue
If you had the Realtek driver installed previously, it sounds like that's the one. However, if your connection is working with your Ethernet, I'd probably recommend not getting the drivers from the support site yet. Honestly, it would probably be fine if you did, but I'd suggest just following those directions. If it tells you to get all the updates from Service Station and there are none, then that step's done and move on. If however after you upgrade successfully and it's never given you a wireless driver, we'll fix that.
I finished installing Windows 8.1 update today. I re-ran Service Station and updated all recommended software except one: Realtek Audio Driver (it says to manually uninstall it first but I only had Realtek High Defnition Audio Driver on my system so I didn't uninstal it). Do I need to uninstall the HD version and then install the RealTek Audio Driver contained in Service Station? I don't know whether you can have both drivers at the same time.
PS When I uninstall a driver, do I need to do it through Device Manager or Programs & Features Uninstall? If both, which should be done first?
This thread has been moved to another message board. Click the link to jump to its new location.
You just need to do it through the Programs & Features, not Device Manager.
You were correct to leave "Realtek High Definition Audio Driver." You only need to remove something if it matches an entry on the list exactly. Don't remove that one, but if Service Station has offered you another similarly named one, go ahead and get it.

Is an ISA or pension a better savings option for me
The prospect of record low savings rates continuing is forcing many savers to review how they allocate their capital in an attempt to achieve the level of returns they have previously enjoyed. Investing in the stock market inevitably involves putting your capital at risk however there is a middle ground which continues to attract increasing interest – the structured deposit. With this in mind, we take a deeper look at this savings alternative to help understand why more and more savers are starting to see their appeal. more
With the current economic environment asking savers far more questions than it gives answers, it is good to know that there are alternatives available. We take a look at one such alternative that is proving particularly popular as savers face the harsh reality that the more traditional fixed rate savings products are failing to meet their needs. more
Millions of savers are facing the harsh realisty that there is little hope of change to interest and savings rates in the coming years. However, those with Cash ISAs do have one further option to consider – the ISA transfer. We take a closer look at why this is becoming a rising trend as well as what this could mean for those looking for the potential to improve the returns from their capital. more
With so many savers joining income investors in the hunt for high yields, being able to quickly understand and compare the numerous options available has become even more important. We therefore compare two of our most popular income investments to help understand what is driving their popularity and why they might meet your income needs. more
The deposit compensation scheme for UK banking customers is to increase to around £85,000 from the end of the year.
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme confirmed the rise from the current £50,000 limit on 22 September, following moves by the EU Commission to increase protection for savers.
The FSCS said the Financial Services Authority (FSA) was planning to issue a consultation in October on increasing the coverage limit to the equivalent of €100,000.
The FSCS deposit protection scheme applies to money placed in a bank or similar institution, regulated by the FSA, to earn interest or for safe-keeping.
Earlier this year, the European Union Commission revised the EU Directive on Deposit Guarantee Schemes to improve coverage of national schemes by making the EU wide protection limit €100,000.
At the time the Commission said the increased limit would mean 95 per cent of bank account holders in the EU would receive all of their savings back if their bank were to fail.
On 22 September, members of the European Parliament approved a package of reforms for regulation of banks and financial markets.
The EU Commission said the final agreement would transform the current supervisory committees for the financial sector "into watchdogs with a bite".
Amongst measures to improve consumer protection, the measures will mean the new European Supervisory Authorities can investigate financial institutions, financial products or stock market activities.
A European Systemic Risk Board will "develop a common set of indicators" to rate the riskiness of specific cross-border financial institutions, as well as monitoring general risk build-up on the EU economy.

Jerrison Garcia, 25, Third Cyclist Killed Near Park Ave. Viaduct in Two Years
Update: Cab driver Nojeem Odunfa of the Bronx was charged with aggravated unlicensed operation, careless driving, and a right of way violation, according to NYPD. Odunfa was not immediately charged for killing Jerrison Garcia, and, if past patterns hold, he won't be. Aggravated unlicensed operation carries nominal penalties and tends to be the default charge against sober unlicensed drivers who kill cyclists and pedestrians in NYC.
For the third time in two years, a driver has killed a cyclist at the same Park Avenue intersection, under the Metro-North viaduct in East Harlem. In addition to recent fatalities, data show that Park Avenue along the viaduct is a hotspot for cyclist injuries.
At around 5:15 this morning, a livery cab driver traveling southbound on Park turned left into Jerrison Garcia, who was also southbound, at E. 108th Street, according to DNAinfo.
Blood stains at the intersection marked the roughly 80 feet that police said Garcia was dragged until the livery cab came to a rest on 108th Street.
Garcia, 25, was pronounced dead at Mount Sinai Hospital. The 65-year-old driver, who reportedly works for Glory Car and Limo Service, was taken into police custody. NYPD told Gothamist "it was more than likely he would be charged with driving with a suspended license."
Park Avenue is divided by the viaduct from E. 102nd Street northward. There is parking on northbound and southbound Park Avenue along this stretch, but there is no designated lane for cyclists, who must share one narrow through-lane with moving vehicles while negotiating intersections with limited visibility.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to apparatus and methods for the treatment of presbyopia using ultraviolet and infrared lasers to ablate the sclera tissue of an eye.
2. Prior Art
Corneal reshaping, including a procedure called photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and a new procedure called laser assisted in situ keratomileusis, or laser intrastroma keratomileusis (LASIK), has been performed by lasers in the ultraviolet (UV) wavelength of 193-213 nm. Commercial UV refractive lasers include ArF excimer lasers at 193 nm and other non-excimer, solid-state lasers, such as the one patented by the present inventor in 1992 (U.S. Pat. No. 5,144,630). Precise, stable corneal reshaping requires lasers with strong tissue absorption (or minimum penetration depth) such that the thermal damage zone is at a minimum (less than few microns). Furthermore, accuracy of the procedure of vision correction depends on the amount of tissue removed in each laser pulse, in the order of about 0.2 microns. Therefore, lasers at UV wavelengths between 193 and 213 nm and at the mid-infrared wavelengths between 2.8 and 3.2 microns are two attractive wavelength ranges which match the absorption peak of protein and water, respectively.
The above-described prior arts are however limited to the use of reshaping the corneal surface curvature for the correction of myopia, astigmatism and hyperopia. When a person reaches a certain age (around 45), the eyes start to lose their capability to focus for near vision and become presbyopic. Presbyopia is not due to the cornea curvature but comes about as the lens loses its ability to accommodate or focus for near vision as a result of loss of elasticity that is inevitable as people age. Therefore the existing lasers using corneal reshaping can not provide the solution for presbyopia patients. In addition, corneal reshaping is ablating the central portion of the cornea and changing its curvature.
To correct presbyopia, the present patent uses a "cold" laser to remove sclera tissue (outside the limbus area) versus a "thermal" lasers in Sand's patent (U.S. Pat. No. 5,484,432) to shrink the corneal shape (inside the limbus area). The cold laser of the present has a wavelength range of (0.15-0.36) microns and (2.6-3.2) microns which are also different from that of the "thermal" laser range of (1.80-2.55) microns proposed by Sand.
The prior arts of Ruitz (U.S. Pat. No. 5,533,997) and Lin (U.S. Pat. No. 5,520,679) are all limited to the corneal central portion and are designed to change the curvature of the cornea by ablation of the surface layer of the cornea. The present system, on the contrary, does not change the corneal central curvature and only ablates tissue outside the limbus.
The technique used in the prior art of Bille (U.S. Pat. No. 4,907,586) is specified to below conditions: (a) quasi-continuous laser having pulse duration less than 10 picoseconds and focused spot less than 10 micron diameter; (b) the laser is confined to the interior of a selected tissue to correct myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism, and (c) the laser is focused into the lens of an eye to prevent presbyopia. He also proposed to use laser to create a cavity within the corneal stroma to change its visco-elastic properties.
The "presbyopia" correction proposed by Ruitz using an excimer (ArF) laser also required the comeal surface to be reshaped to form a "multifocal" effect for a presbyopia patients to see near and far. However, Ruitz's "presbyopia" correction is fundamentally different from that of the present system which does not change the corneal curvature and only ablate the scleral tissue outside the limbus area. In the present system, we propose that the presbyopia patient is treated by increasing the patient's accommodation rather than reshaping the cornea into a "multifocal" configuration.
To treat presbyopic patients, or the reversal of presbyopia, using the concept of expanding the sclera by mechanical devices or implantation of a band has been proposed by Schachar in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,489,299, 5,722,952, 5,465,737 and 5,354,331. These mechanical approaches have the drawbacks of complexity and are time consuming, costly and have potential side effects. To treat presbyopia, the Schachar U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,529,076 and 5,722,952 propose the use of heat or radiation on the corneal epithelium to arrest the growth of the crystalline lens and also propose the use of lasers to ablate portions of the thickness of the sclera. However, these prior arts do not present any details or practical methods or laser parameters for the presbyopic corrections. No clinical studies have been practiced to show the effectiveness of the proposed concepts. The concepts proposed in the Schachar patents regarding lasers suitable for ablating the sclera tissues were incorrect because many of his proposed lasers are thermal lasers which will cause thermal burning of the cornea, rather than tissue ablation. Furthermore, the clinical issues, such as locations, patterns and depth of the sclera tissue removal were not indicated in these prior patents. In addition, Schachar's methods also require the weakening of the sclera and increase the lens diameter by band expansion, which is different from the theory proposed in the present patent, where the sclera tissue becomes more flexible than weakening after laser ablation.
Another prior art proposed by Spencer Thornton, Chapter 4, "Survey for hyperopia and presbyopia", edited by Neal Sher (Williams & Wilkins, MD, 1997) is to use a diamond knife to incise radial cuts around the limbus areas. It requires a deep (90%-98%) cut of the sclera tissue in order to obtain accommodation of the lens. This method, however, involves a lot of bleeding and is difficult to control the depth of the cut which requires extensive surgeon's skill. Another major drawback for presbyopia correction provided by the above-described non-laser methods is the post-operative regression of about (30%-80%) caused by the healing of the "incision" gap. And this regression is minimum in the laser "excision" or "ablation" method proposed in the present invention.
The important concept proposed in the present invention is to support the present inventor's post-operative results which show minimum regression. We proposed a theory based upon the fact that the laser ablated sclera tissue "gap" will be filled in by the sub-conjunctiva tissue within few days after the surgery. This filled in sub-conjunctiva tissue is much more flexible than the original sclera tissue. Therefore the filled-in gap in the sclera area will cause the underlying ciliary body to have more space to move. This in turn, will allow the ciliary body to contract or expand the zonular fiber which is connected to the lens, when the presbyopic patient is adjusting his lens curvature to see near and far. The above described sub-conjunctiva tissue filling effects and the increase of "flexibility" of the sclera area are fundamentally different from the scleral "expansion" (or weakening) concept proposed by the prior arts of Schachar who proposed an implanted sclera band. In the present invention, the laser ablated sclera area is not weakening, it becomes more flexible instead.
Therefore one objective of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method to obviate these drawbacks in the above described prior arts.
It is yet another objective of the present system to use a scanning device such that the degree of ciliary muscle accommodation can be controlled by the location, size and shape of the removed sclera tissue.
It is yet another objective of the present invention to define the non-thermal lasers for efficient tissue ablation.
It Is yet another objective of the present system to define the optimal laser parameters and the ablation patterns for the best clinical outcome for presbyopia patients, where scleral ablation will increase the accommodation of the ciliary muscle by the increase of the flexibility in the laser-ablated areas.
It is yet another objective of the present system to provide the appropriate scanning patterns which will cause effective ciliary body contraction and expansion of the zonules and the comeal lens based upon a theory different from the prior art. It is yet another objective of the present system to provide a new mechanism which supports the clinical results of laser presbyopia correction with minimum regression. One important concept proposed in the present system is to support the post-operative results which show minimum regression when presbyopia is corrected by a laser ablation of the sclera tissue. We proposed that the laser ablated sclera tissue "gap" is filled in by the sub-conjunctiva tissue within a few days after the surgery. This filled-in sub-conjunctiva tissue is much more flexible than the original sclera tissue. Therefore the flexible filled-in gap in the sclera area will allow the ciliary body to contract and cause the zonular fiber and the corneal lens to adjust its focusing power and increase the accommodation of presbyopic patient.
The concept presented in the present patent is to remove, by any methods including laser or non-laser methods, portion of the sclera tissue which is then filled in by sub-conjunctiva tissue to increase the flexibility of the scleral area and in turn causes the movement of the ciliary body and zonular fiber to increase the lens accommodation.
The preferred embodiments of the present surgical laser consists of a combination of an ablative-type laser and delivery unit. The ablative-type laser has a wavelength range of from 0.15 to 0.35 microns and from 2.6 to 3.2 microns and is operated in a pulsed mode such that the thermal damage of the corneal tissue is minimized.
It is yet another preferred embodiment of the present surgical laser to provide a scanning mechanism to effectively ablate the sclera tissue at a controlled depth by beam overlapping or by controlling the number of laser pulses acting on the sclera.
It is yet another embodiment of the present surgical laser to provide an integration system in which the ablative laser may be delivered by a scanner or by a fiber-coupled device which can be manually scanned over the cornea.
It is yet another embodiment of the present surgical laser to focus the laser beams to generate the sclera ablation patterns in radial lines, curved lines, dotted rings, or a slit pattern.
It is yet another embodiment of the present surgical laser to provide an integration system in which the sclera ablation leads to the increase of the accommodation of the ciliary muscle for the treatment of presbyopia.
Further preferred embodiments of the present surgical laser will become apparent from the description of the invention which follows.
Based on the proposed theory of the present invention and as shown in
For efficient accommodation, the depth of the laser ablation needs to be approximately (60%-90%) of the sclera thickness which is about (500-700) microns. For safety reasons, the ablation depth should not cut through the choroid. It is therefore clinically important that the patient's sclera thickness be measured pre-operatively and the laser ablation depth controlled. A scanning laser is used to control this depth by the number of scanning lines or pulses over the selected area at a given set of laser parameters. Alternatively, the surgeon may observe the color change of the ablated sclera tissue to determine when the ablation depth reaches the interface of the sclera and the ciliary.
The ablation patterns can be any symmetric shapes around the limbus area, including radial lines, arc or curved line, dotted rings. These are examples only but it can be more or less without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Enhancement may be performed by adding more ablation lines. The preferred embodiment of the beam spot sizes are about (0.1-2.0) mm on the cornea surface for a round beam and about (0.1-2.0) mm in width and (2.0-5.0) mm in length for a line-spot These round and slit spots may be generated by a focusing spherical and a cylinder lens. These beam spots may also be generated by a "mask" which blocks the laser beam and produce the desired patterns on the cornea surface. The mask shall be made by non-transparent materials at the laser wavelength used for sclera ablation.
Ablation patterns described above may be generated by the preferred embodiment of the present system including a computer-controlled galvanometer, fiber-coupled hand piece (using a manual scan), motorized mirrors, refractive optics, reflecting mirror and any a translation device. A mask having various "holes" or "slits" may also be used to generate various patterns proposed in the present invention.
We are able to calibrate the ablation rate of various lasers on the sclera tissue by comparing the clinical data. To avoid the post-operative regression, the sclera tissue is permanently removed by the ablative lasers and filled in by the sub-conjunctiva tissues.
The preferred embodiment of the laser in the proposed system includes an ablative laser such as a Er:YAG laser; Er:YSGG laser; an optical parametric oscillation (OPO) laser at (2.6-3.2) microns; a gas laser with a wavelength of (2.6-3.2) microns; an excimer laser of ArF at 193 nm; a XeCl excimer laser at 308 nm; a frequency-shifted solid state laser at (0.15-3.2) microns; the harmonic generation of Nd:YAG or Nd:YLF or Ti:sapphire laser at wavelength of about (190-220) nm; a CO laser at about 6.0 microns and a carbon dioxide laser at 10.6 microns; a diode laser at (0.8-2.1) microns, or any other gas or solid state lasers including flash-lamp and diode-laser pumped, at (0.5-6.0) microns spectra range. To achieve the ablation of the sclera tissue at the preferred laser spot size of (0.1-2.0) mm requires an ablative laser energy per pulse of about (0.1-3.0) mJ depending on the pulse duration and the laser beam spot size.
For a typical pulse laser width of 100 nanoseconds to 500 microseconds, the preferred embodiments of
The concept presented in the present patent is to remove, by any methods laser or non-laser, portion of the sclera tissue which is filled in by sub-conjunctiva tissue to increase the flexibility of the scleral area and in turn causes the zonular fiber to increase the lens accommodation. Therefore the laser ablation effects on the scleral tissue may also be conducted by any non-laser methods such as using a diamond knife which removes the scleral tissue at a width about (0.5-2.0) mm and length of (2.0-4.0) mm, as far as this area can be filled in by the sub-conjunctiva tissue.
Another important concept proposed in the present invention is to support the post-operative results which show minimum regression. We proposed that the laser ablated sclera tissue "gap" will be filled in by the sub-conjunctiva tissue within few days after the surgery. This filled in sub-conjunctiva tissue is much more flexible than the original sclera tissue. Therefore the filled-in gap in the sclera area will cause the underlying ciliary body to contract or expand the zonular fiber and the lens when the presbyopic patient is adjusting the corneal lens power to see near and far.
To remove the sclera tissue, we typically open the conjunctiva first such that the underlying laser ablated area may be protected by the conjunctiva during the healing period. The preferred embodiment is to use mechanical method such as a knife or a scissors. Alternatively, the same ablative laser for sclera tissue ablation may be used to open (ablate) the conjunctiva. Another preferred embodiment is to couple the laser to a fiber which has a fiber tip having a size about (0.2-0.5) mm and can easily penetrate into the conjunctiva layer and ablate the sclera tissue underneath. Without opening the conjunctiva, the laser ablation procedure will be much less invasive to the cornea, because most of the bleeding during the procedure is caused by cutting the conjunctiva.
The invention having now been fully described, it should be understood that it may be embodied in other specific forms or variations without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Accordingly, the embodiments described herein are to be considered to be illustrative and not restrictive.

TEHRAN, Iran — An earthquake toppled homes and shops on both sides of the Iran-Pakistan border Tuesday, killing dozens of people and causing skyscrapers to sway in Dubai.
The quake also forced Iranian officials — for the second time in less than a week — to issue assurances that its main nuclear reactor wasn't damaged.
At least 34 people were killed in a single village in Pakistan, a military official said. But the overall death toll became clouded after conflicting reports from Iran.
At first, Iran's state-run Press TV said at least 40 people died — which would push the two-nation tally to 74. But it later retreated from its account, and other Iranian outlets stepped in with a far less dire picture.
Despite the conflicting reports on the Iranian side, a Pakistani military official said at least 34 were killed on their side of the border and 80 were injured. Up to 1,000 mud homes were damaged, Pakistan Television added. The military spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity in line with Pakistan military policy.
A Pakistani police officer, Azmatullah Regi, said nearly three dozen homes and shops collapsed in one village in the Mashkel area, which was the hardest hit by the quake.
The discrepancies and apparent backtracking in the Iranian reports could not be immediately reconciled, but it was the second quake to hit Iran in less than week and authorities could be seeking to downplay casualties.
The website of Tehran Geophysics Center said the quake, measured at least magnitude 7.7, lasted 40 seconds and called it the strongest in more than 50 years in one of the world's most seismically active areas.
Press TV said the quake was centered near Saravan, about 26 miles from the Pakistani border. The U.S. Geological Survey put the preliminary magnitude at 7.8 and at a depth of nine miles.
Iran's nuclear chief Fereidoun Abbasi said there was no damage to the Bushehr reactor and invited U.N. inspectors to visit, the semiofficial ISNA news agency reported.

WHAT DOES YOUR weekday work lunch look like?
A stale granola bar? A pallid ham-and-cheese from that weirdly lit bodega downstairs? A freezer-burned Lean Cuisine, begging to be tossed across the office like an Olympic discus? A stack of Pringles from the old tube your cubicle mate keeps in his bottom drawer, next to the pushpins and rubber bands?
Your average American employee, especially those who sit at a desk in front of a computer, isn't exactly renowned for creativity when it comes to midday meal planning. Overwhelmed by work, many tend to grab whatever's closest, fastest and/or cheapest. Others (speaking from personal experience here) might choose to skip eating altogether to reserve the caloric real estate for happy hour.

Marcy Winograd: Let our schools serve the 99% of students, parents, and teachers, not the 1% of billionaires. Protect and empower public education.
Friday Feedback: "LAUSD's Apartheid Hall of Shame (Part One)"
Friday Feedback: This week, Sylvia Pardo comments on Sikivu Hutchinson's article, "LAUSD's Apartheid Hall of Shame (Part One)," and Sharon Kyle responds.
No Money to Fix Public Education
Leonard Isenberg: Assistant Secretary of Education for Civil Rights Russlynn Ali tried the impossible task of trying to reconcile her optimism with her equally honest assessment that there was not only no money to fix public education, but even less in the future.
A.J. Duffy: Truly a Man for All Seasons
Leonard Isenberg: It is the ultimate chutzpah for LAUSD to now laud the supposed achievements of its students, while turning a blind eye to the corruption that tries to sell this fraudulent result to the people of Los Angeles.
LAUSD's Apartheid Hall of Shame: A View from the Classroom
Sikivu Hutchinson: Black kids spend more time in the dean's office, more time being opportunity transferred to other campuses and more time in and out of juvenile detention facilities; regardless of whether they come from "Leave it to Beaver" homes, foster care or homeless shelters.
An Anti-Government Challenge
Richard M. Mathews: Unless you are wearing 100% cotton made on the plantation you have had in the family for generations without the benefit of outside seed or fertilizer, the clothes have got to go.
Ending Collective Bargaining for Teachers
LAUSD and UTLA Collude to End Collective Bargaining
Lenny Isenberg: LAUSD may target you for removal, because you either refuse to go along with the longstanding and highly profitable financial scam they have been running for generations now called public education, aka minority daycare.
George Carlin Understood Why LAUSD Does Not Educate
Leonard Isenberg: George Carlin puts it rather succinctly when he says, "They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking."
California Teacher Credentialing Corruption Ignored
Leonard Isenberg: The preconceived "dominant narrative" that mainstream media is programmed to spew out all over this country that vilifies and lays all blame for bad public education on teachers is allowed to trump reality of corruption and fraud from LAUSD.
Why LAUSD Does Not Work?
Leonard isenberg: By what standard do people who continually fail to fix public education remain the leaders of public education reform
"I Don't Have to Show You Latinos No Stinking Education"
Leonard Isenberg: At the root of public education's generational failure to educate Latino and Black students in this country is the unrelenting not so subliminal message that these young people are inferior and cannot learn.
Winograd Campaign to Support "Save Our Schools" Effort
Marcy Winograd: As a public high school teacher and congressional candidate (CA-36), I will use my campaign phone bank to support the California Teachers Association "State of Emergency" week of action, May 9-13, at the State Capitol and across the state.

Don't buy this for world-wide travel
This adaptor will not work in type "G" plugs as found in Hong Kong, Malaysia, and other parts of the world. Type "G" plugs have two flat horizontal prongs with one vertical ground prong. This device tries to get away without a real type "G" adaptor by including a piece of plastic designed to stick into the ground slot, then allowing you to insert the two round prongs normally used for type "C" plugs. The problem is that type "G" sockets require you to insert the ground prong in order to open the two horizontal slots as some sort of safety feature. The piece of plastic included in this adaptor is not long enough to trigger the opening of the horizontal slots; which means you have to open them manually (by sticking a pen into one of the horizontal slots and forcing them open which can be dangerous--we are talking about electricity). If you don't really understand what I am talking about just trust me. I am currently sitting at the Hong Kong airport and finally got so fed up with this adaptor that I just went a bought a new one at a duty free shop. This website may also provide more information on what countries use which types of plugs. http://kropla.com/electric2.htm

Running Plex on an Apple TV prior to tvOS isn't something new – people have been running custom Apple TV apps like Plex for years by using custom markup languages and JavaScript combined with simple DNS trick.
After a very long wait, the official Plex app is now available on the Apple TV. Plex for tvOS organizes all of your video, music, TV, and photo collections, and streams them to the Apple TV. With the free Plex Media Server on your home computer and Plex for tvOS, you can watch and listen to all of your personal media on your HDTV.
The app is free in the Apple TV App Store and requires the latest media server (note: you may need to download and install the very latest server manually for now on certain NAS devices).
Back in September Plex confirmed that the official Plex app for the new Apple TV was in the works. However, they didn't say a word on when they were going to relese it. Now, it looks that we will be able to enjoy the app from day one.
Although it has been possible to use Plex on the Apple TV for years now, it has never been simple to get it working on your device: you had to either jailbreak your Apple TV 2 and use an unofficial Plex client, or hack a non-jailbreakable Apple TV 3 using PlexConnect and hope that you won't lose the hack with the next software update.
It looks that with the new Apple TV, everything will be much easier for Plex fans.
Holiday Gift Guide 2015: Best Accessories for Apple TV
Though Apple TV 7.0 software update is one of the most evident overhauls the set-top box has received lately, most users are a bit skeptical about it. Especially those relying on OpenPlex and PlexConnect to broadcast Plex from their Mac or PC, fearing that the hacks would be patched in the update. In fact, most of the comments and mails we received after the 7.0 release, were regarding Plex.
Yesterday's Apple TV update broke the awesome PlexConnect hack that allowed a fully-functional Plex client on non-jailbroken Apple TV 2 and Apple TV 3. It seems that Apple fixed the Trailer app vulnerability. According to Cult of Mac:


text: 000 FXUS63 KGRR 260730 AFDGRR Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Grand Rapids MI 330 AM EDT MON SEP 26 2016 LATEST UPDATE... Synopsis/Short Term/Long Term/Marine .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 330 AM EDT Mon Sep 26 2016 Fall like weather will prevail through much of this week with considerable cloudiness, scattered showers, and highs in the 60s. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Wednesday) Issued at 330 AM EDT Mon Sep 26 2016 High probabilities for showers early this morning as cold front presses east through the state. Then showers ending from west to east 12z-15z with arrival of dry slot. Expect breezy/gusty conditions to develop later this morning into the afternoon as deep mixing in the dry slot taps 30-35 kt winds shown at 5k ft. Arrival of colder H8 air should lead to development of lake strato cu and a few light showers this afternoon, mainly north of I-96. Lake induced instability of a few hundred joules/steep lapse rates could lead to some gusty showers in the nrn cwfa late afternoon/early evening. Upper low and deep moisture are progged to gradually sink southward Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night. Will have sct/chc pops increasing to likely from north to south as this occurs. Best coverage of showers, and possibly a few tstms, will be Tuesday night when the upper low is overhead and lake effect component is still present. Lake component is lost on Wednesday as low level flow goes offshore with sfc low settling south of the state. However scattered to numerous showers will continue to rotate around the upper low and temps could struggle to get out of the 50s. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Sunday) Issued at 330 AM EDT Mon Sep 26 2016 The long term portion of the forecast is looking more and more unsettled with cool conditions expected and occasional chances of showers possibly everyday. The latest trend for the long term is that the upper low does not ever move far away from the area. It could remain close enough to keep a chance of rain showers in each day, especially as it looks more likely to rotate back closer to the area. The unfortunate thing is that upper lows are tough to forecast the movement for, so we do not have a great deal of confidence in the details of the forecast. We have tried to lower temps some anticipating more cloud cover and some rain showers. We have broad-brushed low rain chances in the forecast for each day from Thu through Sun. It will not rain the entire time, and there could be some drier periods depending on how the upper low and how it`s waves wobble with regard to the CWFA. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday night) Issued at 149 AM EDT Mon Sep 26 2016 Cold front has moved through the lakeshore, and is now headingfor the inland areas. Scattered showers have popped up and will continue to do do ahead of, and behind the front. Cigs are expected to drop into the MVFR category behind the front with the showers. Some pockets of IFR will be possible to the SE. Winds will switch from SE to W/NW and become gusty to over 20 knots. The MVFR cigs will last for a few hours before a bit of drier air works into the area. This will diminish the clouds some, and all areas should go VFR. Winds will ramp up more by afternoon. We are looking at potential gusts of around 30 knots. The clouds will remain VFR and sct through the evening. Winds will come down toward sunset, but still may occasionally gust toward 20 knots. && .MARINE... Issued at 330 AM EDT Mon Sep 26 2016 West winds to 30 knots and cold advection across the unseasonably warm waters of lake michigan will cause waves to build as high as 10 feet today - continuing through Tuesday night. Waterspouts and a few tstms will become possible Tuesday and Tuesday night as an upper low moves overhead. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 102 PM EDT Sun Sep 25 2016 River levels are around normal for this time of year. Showers and thunderstorms are expected tonight and lake effect rain showers are possible Monday into Wednesday. Through Wednesday, over an inch of rain is possible to the north and west of Grand Rapids with less than a half inch to the south and east. Rivers and streams should remain below bankfull through the week. && .GRR Watches/Warnings/Advisories... MI...None.
