Illidan, Huntarr, Nihil, Constantine:
The world turns upside down on you and all but Huntarr are not able to keep his balance. The servitors moving toward you to finish you off look old and decaying but still fully functional. They do not carry any weapons but they look to be strong and even their bare fists may hurt a lot.
Initiative Round 1
Illidan, Huntarr, Constantine and Nihil:
"As the last chime sounds, you hear a monstrous whirring and clanking of machinery in the walls all around you. Then the corridor shakes like dice in a cup and is flipped upside down., dropping you from what is now the ceiling to the floor. The ends of the passage you were in disappear to be replaced by dark, rusted metal doors. With a final clank of gears, the metal doors grind open, and from the darkness beyond come scuttling servitors, their flesh dead and grey, their brass weapon limbs clicking like hungry jaws."
Please make Difficult -10 Agility or Acrobatics Tests or be thrown prone. There are 8 combat servitors coming toward the 4 of you please roll initiative.
Order of movement i'm seeing is Illidan, Huntarr, Constantine and Nihil in these passages. Auraxis is outside watching the door.
After some time traveling through the tunnels you are able to make out some parts of it based on the map and some parts not. The maps you have are partial and burnt nothing complete.
Time passes and the tunnels are long and takes some time to navigate them when the 10th Hour strikes!
"The Deafening chimes fill the air, and every wall and surface vibrates to their note; the crystal of glasses sings, and dust rises from the relics of Gabriel Chase. It is as if the manse itself is producing the chimes, and as the 10th and final note fades, a sound like the winding of a thousand cogged mechanisms comes from the walls and then abruptly ceases. Those who look out at the sky see that a dark bite has been taken from the sun."
Auraxis and Ann:
One nobel near you two falls to the ground and begins to spasm uncontrollably, coughing up blood only to die a few moments later and then a woman screams her husband is missing from beside her.

The noble woman that Illidan was talking with a bit ago returns with some old school candles and looks at you and the wall.
"Where did that nice gentleman go? Did he go in already? he said he would wait for me! Will you take me in! I want to see what's in there maybe some old Haarlock jewelry to add to the collection."
She seems to want to keep on going on and on and on. What do you want to do?
Just so i'm clear. Illidan, Huntarr, Constantine and Nihil are inside the secret passage and Auraxis is hanging outside the door keeping watch? Illidan only one being stealthy moving up ahead of everyone? Constantine is keeping an eye on the Noble and staying close to him wherever he goes since he's new.
With the power of the warp you are able to discern a strange marking in one of the walls and after further examination are able to determine how it works and a trap door into a dark passageway. It took you about 30 minutes to find this spot after traveling with the woman and bsing your way around with her but you found one of the spots.
The woman looks a bit in awe as you find the passage and moves closer to you. "Do you want to go in?"
In the center of this building is the Theatre of Clocks where the ringing came from when the 9th Hour rang. This great circular atrium is the ballroom to this manse. It rises all through all 3 levels of this building. The floor is white marble, but it's center is dominated by a device of a multi-rayed black sun inlaid in brass and granite. Every inch of the walls are covered with ticking cocks and time pieces of every conceivable shape, size and design, their mechanisms exposed like the insides of a patient on surgeon's table. Each clock tells a different time-the times of the thousand worlds visited by teh Haarlocks.
In the center of the Theatre is the legendary Steel Clock, a six meter high column of whirling clockwork, lever arms, scything blades, and turning cogs made of glittering steel at the heart of which swings a great pendulum weighted by a curiously cut coal-like stone of iridescent mineral the size of a large fist.
The Theatre of Clocks seems to host the most powerful guests and their entourages where some seem to be engaging in displays of martial prowess, dancing, music and above all, posturing and gossip.
The dataslate handed to Nihil contains some half burn images that appear to be secret passages somewhere as well as information that has been acquired in their investigations.
There is information regarding the House Melua and a picture of the missing brother as well as some general information about the Widower and it's connection somehow to the steel clock.
It also has information about the Pilgrims of Hayte and their connection to this whole thing about bringing the doom to this planet and possibly the sector using the Haarlock bloodline and the widower.
At the striking of the final note of the 9th hour you see and hear occur among the guests.
"A noble, masked in chased gold and crowned with green feathers, thrusts out his hand, pointing at another guest. The crowd around him shrinks back from the gesture as he shouts: 'You hear that? You hear that you scum? The hour of the Revel approaches, and with it, your vile little existence ticks to an end.' Drawing and activating a power blade to emphasise his point, the golden masked noble points it at the guest. 'Three, short, pitiful hours more will you draw breath.'"
It's pretty easy for you to get a mask here as there may be some lying on the ground or you can do what Constantine did and take one from soneone. You all still look a bit out of place. Most of the people here are nobels except for their guards who all appear to be well armed. Most of you are still dirty or covered in blood except for your new armor that you may have bought.
Assuming your all going to the Estate in the center.
The manse is circular and rises in three colonnaded tiers to a great crystal dome that apes the dome that contains the city of Xicarph, which the manse sits at the centre of. Its main entrance is via a set of silver doors that are reached by a great spill of broad steps.
As you enter everywhere there are the signs of the power and wealth of the Haarlock line. The house is imposing, grandiose, sterile, and above all old, with a brooding sinister air and a décor that is off—kilter somehow, with familiar symbols of the Imperium, such as saints and Aquila, rendered somehow just off from the norm enough to trouble the eye.
There must be a thousand plus guests here and the majority of them are in the manse.
At the centre of the manse is the Theatre of Clock. This great circular atrium, the Theatre of Clocks, is the entrance hall into the rest of the manse and is also its ballroom and one of the strangest places in the Calixis Sector. The Theatre of Clocks rises through all three floors of the manse to the crystal dome that sits at the top of the manse. The floor itself is white marble, but its centre is dominated by a device of a multi-rayed black sun inlaid in brass and granite. Every inch of the walls are covered with ticking clocks and time pieces of every conceivable shape, size, and design, their mechanisms exposed like the insides of a patient on a surgeon's table. Each clock tells a different time-the times of the thousand worlds visited by the Haarlocks. Double doors of black wood lead away from the Theatre of Clocks into the curving corridors and spiral staircases that access the rest of the manse.
Nine dolorous notes ring out from somewhere beneath the ground, like the slow beating of a vast metal heart. Those outside can see the body that will obscure the sun as a shadow approaching across the clear blue sky. A sense of delight and anticipation runs through the guests; the Grand Conjunction is but three hours away, and approaching with ever more eager feet.
You got 100 thrones for selling your crap, i kept the axe just in case and bought standard ammo. Your left with 357 thrones. Sent you updated sheet in email. If you want other type of ammo let me know before we end up in combat other ammo isn't to expensive like man stoppers 5 thrones for 6 bullets can be used your in stub and inferno shells are 18 thrones for 1 shell can be used in your shotgun.
When you present the sentries with the invitation they press the seal on the invitation to a hand held device of tarnished brass. The device projects a holographic cone of light into the air that fills with rotating numbers and symbols. The sentry nods and you are allowed to enter.
Gabriel chase is vast! The entire compound is a giant garden of lush lavish flowers and bushes.
The estate of Gabriel Chase is the largest in Xicarph and sits directl beneath the apex of the dome that contains the pleasure city. The estate itself is also surrounded by a 12' wall covered with vines.
There are also other points of interest here at Gabriel Chase. The Stone Gardens and Tangle Domes.
Gabriel Chase Estate
The Gabriel Chase Estate only has two gated entrances and only one of them is open right now both heavily guarded. The walls surrounding the compound are about 20' tall with sentry guns posted evenly about to watch every angle as listed above with heavy servitors that patrol the compound. This place is the property of House Haarlock probably the most rich and powerful Nobel Rogue Traders that ever lived in this sector.
The half burnt maps that you guys have do not seem to make sense from the outside of this place. Nothing matches up.
Your carrying way to many weapons need to dump/sell some of it.
1x Hand Cannon
Assuming your selling your current armor your wearing?
Once you reach the front of the crowd the guards look for your invitations. You notice discreet sentry guns embedded in recesses above the gate and in the upper part of the wall to either side. Two ornate and ancient gun servitors with heavy bolters and another two with lasscannons face the crowd of waiting guests from just outside the gate, while a pair of functionaries in sober black check the validity of each invitation.
This place seems to be almost impregnable. No way can be seen to get in besides the front door that lies before you where the guards are posted.
Once you guys are ready the Transport takes you to Gabriel Chase.
"Set in a high wall of black stone, gates of polished adamantine stand open, twinkling light in the morning sun. Around the edge of the gates' vast mouth are inlaid symbols of the phases of sun and moon, with the simple dark circle of a moonless night above the apex of the gateway. Around the gate flock costumed figures in carriages or atop riding beasts held by jewelled halters. Around these exotic figures throng footmen, guards, and equerries in a kaleidoscope of liveries. Above the crowd hover raptors, their eyes plucked out and replaced by augmetics that scan the crowd jostling for entrance through the Lunar Gate."

Hi, John,
I am 76 years old. I once worked for a man named John Eicher at R.L. Polk and Company in Visalia, CA. I was the office manager, and he was my boss, a very nice and good boss. Just in case you are his son, or related, I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed working for him and how good he was to me. I was a single mother raising two children on my own. It was a good job for me, and I was sad when they closed down the plant. They did offer me a job in LA, but I did not feel I wanted to raise my kids there, so I declined. Anyway, I enjoy Nascar racing. We went to Fontana last year for the races (and got wet – ha). Take care and keep up the good work. Matt Kenseth is one of my favorite drivers, and Joe Gibbs Racing one of my favorite teams. God bless.

The couple running this B and B were very helpful sharing with us
directions needed to find a spot so our trip would be successful.
They were very friendly, we had wine in the evening. The breakfasts were what we ordered with delicious eggs, fruit, muffins, bacon, juice, yogurt, all so fresh plus coffee.
We even are asking about the make of the comfortable bed to purchase one for ourselves.
The bathroom,, a glass shower and a soak tub, spacious bedroom. I would recommend this to anyone who can walk up the stairs... course all the B and B.. had stairs.
Decorations fit this older completely remodeled and very comfortable . But you need a GPS to find it.
Maybe a make up mirror in the bathroom would be helpful. But we do carry one.
Friendly hostesses, clean room, spacious room, great breakfast.
Small bathroom -- no counter space or tub.
Old fashioned building done to high standard.
Front door steps in need of repair
The hosts were amazing, and made sure we had everything we needed. Breakfast was fantastic. Would happily stay here again.
Host and hostess very friendly and warm. Breakfast was delicious, home made, full, and different every morning. Enjoyed conversation over breakfast with other guests.
Family atmosphere. Large breakfast
This place is fine if you very simply want a clean bed to sleep in for the night, with no frills.
The wifi was very weak and intermittent, but perhaps because my room was on the far side of a building facing the cemetery. And yes, there is a cemetery next door. The shower stall was like a mini locker room shower, bathroom had no fan.
Great overall experience with the hotel and location for our trip. Good continental breakfast and pool.
Nice rooms, convenient location
Lots of hall noise throughout the night. Room right by elevator.
The view of the water from the lodge was fantastic. All the staff were very friendly and the food was great!
Room was clean. Staff was kind and attentive. Great location for late night fast food and various destinations. I have stayed here every time that I am home.
In general (most Travelodge) the breakfast could be a little bit more enticing.
The Continental Breakfast was very nice. The front desk staff were very friendly. The room was very comfortable.
Please write at least 15 words
Therewas the smell of ytobacvo smoke throughout the hotel which we did not like and chose to leave.
We did not like this hotel at all. I hope no one else face the difficult situation as we faced.
Private bath.
Check-in is at another location at Dolan's motel down the street. Window screen had holes in it that I had to scotch tape.
It was clean and comfortable I recommend it to anyone
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.

Massive fiery car wreck during NASCAR race at Daytona Speedway sends engine into stands, injuring at least 28 fans as organizers say Daytona 500 WILL still go forward on Sunday
At least 28 NASCAR fans were injured on Saturday when large chunks of debris, including a tire, sailed into the grandstands when a car flew into the fence at Daytona International Speedway on a frightening last-lap accident in the second-tier Nationwide Series race.
The crash began as the field closed in on the finish line and sent rookie Kyle Larson's car sailing into the fence that separates the track from the seats.
Despite the terrifying scene, race organizers said that the Daytona 500 race will still be held on Sunday.
Large chunks of Larson's car landed in the grandstands. The car itself had its entire front end sheared off, with the burning engine wedged through a gaping hole in the fence.

Scary scene: Larson (32) goes airborne into the catch fence in a multi-car crash including Dale Earnhardt Jr. (88), Parker Kilgerman (77), Justin Allgaier (31) and Brian Scott (2)
Victims: Medical personnel remove an injured fan from the stands following following the wreck
VIDEO Footage shows wreckage flying into stands during crash
Ambulance sirens were heard behind the stands, which were briefly shrouded in smoke from Larson's burning engine, which appeared to be wedged into the fence.
Tony Stewart, who emerged the winner in the chaotic race by avoiding the fiery pileup on the speedway, appeared shaken and did not celebrate in Victory Lane.
'The important thing is what going on on the front-stretch right now,' the three-time NASCAR champion said. 'We've always known, and since racing started, this is a dangerous sport. But it's hard. We assume that risk, but it's hard when the fans get caught up in it.
'So as much as we want to celebrate right now and as much as this is a big deal to us, I'm more worried about the drivers and the fans that are in the stands right now because that was ... I could see it all in my mirror, and it didn't look good from where I was at.'

Collision course: Brad Keselowski, driver of the #22 Discount Tire Dodge, and Kyle Larson, driver of the #32 Clorox Chevrolet, are involved in an incident at the finish of the NASCAR Nationwide Series DRIVE4COPD 300
Aftermath: Larson stands outside his car, missing the engine, after hitting the wall and safety fence along the front grandstands, left, while first responders attend to injure fans
Lucky escape: Rookie driver Larson climbs out of his car as Trevor Bayne (7) rolls past
Daytona International Speedway President Joie Chitwood said 14 fans were treated on site, and 14 fans were taken to local hospitals. Chitwood did not give any updates on their conditions.
Volusia County spokesman Dave Byron said six people with serious injuries were taken by ambulance to Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona Beach.
'Those six met the condition of trauma patients,' Byron said, adding one person was also taken to Halifax in Port Orange. That injury was not serious.
Lindsay Rew, a spokeswoman for Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center, said its Daytona Beach hospital had one fan there who was in good condition. She said they were expecting three more people who were coming by ambulance, but she didn't yet know their conditions.
'There obviously was some intrusion into the fence and fortunately with the way the event's equipped up, there were plenty of emergency workers ready to go and they all jumped in on it pretty quickly,' NASCAR President Mike Helton said after the accident.
'Right now, it's just a function of determining what all damage is done. They're moving folks, as we've seen, to care centers and take some folks over to Halifax Medical.'
Line of fire: Larson's car leaves a trail of flames following the crash
Pileup: Michael Annett (43), Johanna Long (70), Hal Martin (44), Mike Bliss (19), Jason White (00), Joe Nemechek (87), Jeffrey Earnhardt (79), Matt Kenseth (18), Danny Efland (4) and Kasey Kahne (5) collide and slide as Austin Dillon (3) escapes
Wrong turn: Regan Smith, driver of the #7 Clean Coal Chevrolet, was leading coming to the checkered flag when he was turned sideways into the wall
As emergency workers tended to injured fans and ambulance sirens wailed in the background, a somber Tony Stewart skipped the traditional post-race victory celebration.
Stewart, who won for the 19th time at Daytona and seventh time in the last nine season-opening Nationwide races, was in no mood to celebrate.
'The important thing is what going on on the frontstretch right now,' said Stewart, the three-time NASCAR champion.
'We've always known, and since racing started, this is a dangerous sport. But it's hard. We assume that risk, but it's hard when the fans get caught up in it.'
'So as much as we want to celebrate right now and as much as this is a big deal to us, I'm more worried about the drivers and the fans that are in the stands right now because that was ... I could see it all in my mirror, and it didn't look good from where I was at.'
First aid: An injured man is treated for cuts at the Daytona stands
First responders coming to the aid of fans who were hurt in the aftermath of the fiery car collision
At least 28 spectators were hurt in the incident
The accident spread into the upper deck and emergency crews treated fans on both levels. There were five stretchers that appeared to be carrying fans out, and a helicopter flew overhead. A forklift was used to pluck Larson's engine out of the fence, and there appeared to be a tire in the stands.
Daytona President Joie Chitwood waited by steps as emergency workers attended to those in the stands. Across the track, fans pressed against a fence and used binoculars trying to watch. Wrecked cars and busted parts were strewn across the garage.
At a press conference, that lasted just 8 minutes, Daytona speedway president and NASCAR's senior vice president for racing operations Steve O'Donnell said that the Daytona 500 race would go forward tomorrow as previously scheduled.
'We are in the process of repairing the facility, and we will be ready to go racing tomorrow,' Daytona International Speedway said in a statement.
Asked if the placement of fans in the stands tomorrow would be changed due to the accident, O'Donnell said, 'We don't anticipate moving any of our fans. We had our safety protocols in place and maintained a buffer, and with the fence being prepared to our safety protocols, we expect to race tomorrow with no changes.'
'It's a violent wreck. Just seeing the carnage on the racetrack, it's truly unbelievable,' driver Justin Allgaier said.
It was a chaotic finish to a race that was stopped nearly 20 minutes five laps from the finish by a 13-car accident that sent driver Michael Annett to a local hospital, where his Richard Petty Motorsports team said he would be held overnight with bruising to his chest.
The race resumed with three laps to go, and the final accident occurred with Regan Smith leading as he headed out of the final turn to the checkered flag. He admittedly tried to block Brad Keselowski to preserve the win.

'I tried to throw a block, it's Daytona, you want to go for the win here,' Smith said.
'I don't know how you can play it any different other than concede second place, and I wasn't willing to do that today. Our job is to put them in position to win, and it was, and it didn't work out.'
As the cars began wrecking all around Smith and Keselowski, Stewart slid through for the win, but Larson plowed into Keselowski and his car was sent airborne into the stands. When Larson's car came to a stop, it was missing its entire front end. The 20-year-old, who made his Daytona debut this week, stood apparently stunned, hands on his hips, several feet away from his car, before finally making the mandatory trip to the care center.
He later said his first thought was with the fans.
'I hope all the fans are OK and all the drivers are all right,' Larson said. 'I took a couple big hits there and saw my engine was gone. Just hope everybody's all right.'
He said he was along for the ride in the last-lap accident.
The show will go on: Daytona International Speedway Joie Chitwood III (left) and NASCAR Sr. Vice President of Racing Operations Steve O'Donnell announced in a press conference that the Daytona 500 race on Sunday will proceed as planned
'I was getting pushed from behind, I felt like, and by the time my spotter said lift or go low, it was too late,' Larson said. 'I was in the wreck and then felt like it was slowing down and I looked like I could see the ground. Had some flames come in the cockpit, but luckily I was all right and could get out of the car quick.'
It appeared fans were lined right along the fence when Larson's car sailed up and into it.
'Honestly, the race itself pales in comparison to the injuries sustained by the fans,' said Chip Ganassi, the team owner who has Larson in his driver development program. 'Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the fans that were injured as a result of the crash. As for Kyle, I am very happy that he is OK.'
Keselowski watched a replay of the final accident, but said his first thoughts were with the fans. As for the accident, he agreed he tried to make a winning move and Smith tried to block.
'He felt like that's what he had to do, and that's his right. The chaos comes with it,' Keselowski said. 'I made the move and he blocked it, and the two of us got together and started the chain events that caused that wreck. First and foremost, just want to make sure everyone in the stands is OK and we're thinking about them.'
Keselowski said the incident could cast a pall on Sunday's Daytona 500.
'I think until we know exactly the statuses of everyone involved, it's hard to lock yourself into the 500,' Keselowski said. 'Hopefully, we'll know soon and hopefully everyone's OK. And if that's the case, we'll staring focusing on Sunday.'

Lauriers Special Constable Service wins international award for technology use
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Apr 28/10| For Immediate Release
Rod Curran, Director
Kevin Crowley, Associate Director
WATERLOO The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) has recognized Wilfrid Laurier Universitys Special Constable Service with an IACP-iXP Excellence in Technology Award. The award will be presented at a ceremony May 24 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Lauriers Special Constable Service was identified as the best in the innovation in information technology, small agency category, after what organizers called an exhaustive and highly competitive review of applications.
This award highlights our Special Constable Services innovative approach to campus safety and security, said Max Blouw, Laurier president and vice-chancellor. The international recognition is well-deserved, and I commend the Special Constable Service for its dedication to maintaining a safe and secure Laurier community.
Lauriers Special Constable Service is responsible for the universitys Waterloo, Kitchener and Brantford campuses and is based on the community-policing model. Laurier incorporates technology with physical patrol. Security is provided by 18 special constables who have peace-officer status.
Winning this international award shows Lauriers commitment to a safe community through the use of technology, said Rod Curran, director, Wilfrid Laurier University Special Constable Service. The use of technology and physical patrol is the cornerstone of our safety plan.
In 2005, the university undertook a review of its security system, which at the time had 10 cameras on the main campus in Waterloo. Today there are more than 300 cameras, which accommodate 640 video feeds and cover 90 per cent of the campuses.
The communication centre is staffed around the clock with trained student dispatchers and is equipped with the latest technology, including 42 monitors, seven computers, a dispatch console and a computer-aided dispatch and records-management system. The server room consists of 11 blade servers to run the systems. The radio system allows officers to talk to each other from different campuses, and because the radios are equipped with GPS, dispatchers can locate each officer at all times.

The seal is likely for tracking and more precise warps. If an opponent is directly in front of him, I doubt he couldn't warp punch the guy like Naruto just did without a seal..

A bleak weekend for Michael Malthouse and Damien Hardwick. As coaches go they represent polar opposites with the media.
Mick has almost turned alienating the press into an art form.
As things stand his next smile is scheduled for December, while Hardwick with his disarming frankness, has become something of a media darling.
Yet this week both can expect a torrid time on the back of morale-sapping losses for two of the AFL's biggest clubs.
Seems to me Carlton and Richmond have the same problem. They're almost becalmed by the lack of young, exciting talent. I'm not talking about young, promising talent, I'm talking about guys in their second and third seasons coming in and making a real difference.
Prior to the season I copped quite a bit of flak for leaving these two clubs out of my eight (Richmond 10th and Carlton 13th) and although it's too early to say, 'I told you so' (a staple of this blog) it seems clear the recent drafts that sent so many young guns to the Gold Coast and Western Sydney are starting to bite. Like feasting pigs, the Suns and the Giants didn't leave too much behind.
The Blues and the Tigers seem to be relying on the same old faces. And injuries within that group now hurt more than ever.
Depth is currently the gold of the AFL.
- Congratulations to the Perth Wildcats, champions of the NBL. What a rout!
And what a remarkable double for coach Trevor Gleeson.
Last year he was a skills coach at AFL premiers Hawthorn.
Yes, you read that right.

Each team is going to feel like it has been snubbed on the NHL All-Star ballot, and players will feel the same way.
This is our chance to give those who weren't selected a chance to have their 15 minutes of fame. From rookies who shined to veterans that surprised, the NHL has had a lot of great stories through the first quarter of the season.
The snubs for each team are players who could have big seasons and make the voters look silly.
Give the snubs some love and enjoy!

Energy: Crude built on Friday's losses, giving up 4% today and closing under the 8 day MA for the first time in two weeks. I think we can see more downside, and I have a target in September of $85.50. The 100 day MA has acted as resistance in RBOB for the last three sessions, and finally prices rolled over, losing nearly 3%. I see the next support 7 cents lower, and should be challenged in the coming sessions. Heating oil dropped 3.5%, and lower ground looks likely as well. A 50% Fib retracement on the move over the last month puts September back at $2.74. Natural gas remains at a five month high, but a trade over $3 is not sustainable, in my opinion. Broken record -- but I feel $2.60 is in the cards in September.
Stock Indices: From my viewpoint, it appears that an interim top was put in last week in the indices, and we trade south from here. As for the S&P, prices have come off 30 points, but I see another 40 points until we find solid support. As for the Dow, 300 points down and 350 more to go. With the massive spike in the Vix today, it is clear that fear is back in the marketplace and on that, I believe selling of stocks seems likely.
Metals: Gold closed lower, but was able to pare losses, closing $15 off its lows. Further downside looks likely, and I'm bearish until prices retake $1600 in August. On a move lower, my target in futures is $1545. Silver continues to tread water, as prices have traded in a $1 range for three weeks. A break lower is my call, unless we retake $27.50 very soon. Copper futures have lost nearly 15 cents in the last two sessions, and have resumed a leg lower. That should drag prices to 2012 lows in the coming weeks…trade accordingly.
Softs: For the last three days, prices have been back and forth between the 50 and 100 day MAs. A close above 2255 or below 2210 should signify the direction moving forward. My bias is lower on a strengthening U.S. dollar. Sugar failed to follow through, but prices remain at four month highs just under 24 cents. I am looking for signs of an interim top, and I am eager to initiate short positions when I find that evidence. I think 21 cents is a more appropriate price level. Cotton lost 1%, but did find support at the 100 day MA just above 71 cents. OJ lost ground today, making it nine of the last 10 days with no low in sight…$1.00 could be challenged. Coffee is showing preliminary signs of exhaustion, but it will take a settlement under $1.78 for confirmation. Aggressive traders can initiate bearish option trades, but I would wait for confirmation for future.
Treasuries: New high in 30-year bonds, and as stocks and commodities come off, expect higher levels to be reached. I will be looking for a place to gain bearish exposure for clients and will not ride this trade higher. New highs in 10-year notes as well, with prices now 4% above their 2008 highs. Is this justified? I don't think so, but don't fight the trend.
Livestock: Live cattle have been able to hold at the 20 day MA, but I expect that level to give way in the coming sessions and have a target in October at $121.00. August feeder cattle were unable to retake the 9 day MA, and it appears that a move lower may be underway. I called an interim low last week, but I'd like to retract that statement. Until prices can close above their 9 day MA, I'm saying this is still a bearish market. October pigs also are headed lower until prices can settle above the 9 day MA in October; currently 79.50.
Grains: A bearish engulfing candle, as $8 trade was rejected in December corn today. Prices are now 20 cents off that level, and could be the beginning of the correction I've been forecasting. A first confirmation would be a trade under the 9 day MA, a level that has rejected sales for over one month. A 38.2% Fibonacci retracement puts December back at $6.90/bushel. As of this writing, soybeans are lower by 1.8%, and that is on top of the 3.8% loss in the day session. Prices are under their 9 day MA for the first time since mid-June. My first target in November is $15.20, followed by $14.70. Wheat is coming off one year highs, losing 3% today and looking to add 1.4% overnight as of this writing . My first target is $8.40 in December on a correction. I've said this numerous times, but watch for the action in oats to help navigate some of the more liquid grains. After a 40% appreciation in the last five weeks, oats may be due for a correction.
Currencies: The dollar probed 84.00, and if selling continues in other asset classes, expect the flight to dollar to aid in a further appreciation. The best risk/reward scenarios I see is sales in the commodity currencies. As commodity prices and equities back off, traders can be short the aussie, loonie or kiwi, in my opinion.

|East Bay Trails

Check out some great ride ideas for weekend adventures and articles courtesy of Weekend Sherpa :
North Bay | Marin County: (click on area names for more information)
|Annadel State Park, Santa Rosa: This large state park is a little slice of mountain bike heaven. With miles of twisty, technical singletrack connected by blazing-fast fire roads, this is an excellent place for all-day excursions. Special care must be taken when encountering the many horseback riders that share the park's mountain bike trails. Any actions that lead to less bike access in this park would be extremely regrettable. Terrain is moderate-to-advanced with lots of elevation change.
Bolinas Ridge/Olema Valley, Bolinas: There are many beautiful loops through the Golden Gate National Recreation Area on both well-marked fire roads and little-known singletrack in this region. The Olema Valley is a rolling landscape of grassland and forest that stretches ten miles from Tomales Bay to Bolinas Lagoon.
Camp Tamarancho, Fairfax: Owned by the Boy Scouts of America, a 'Friends Pass' is required to ride Tamarancho. At $5 for 1-day or $40 for the year, it's a very worthwhile investment to ride some of Marin's last legal singletrack. (passes available at our San Rafael location) This excellent 13-mile all-singletrack loop is one of the more exciting you'll find with terrain ranging from fast hardpack to twisty, rocky, technical sections. Lots of elevation change, beautiful redwoods, and sweeping views of mount Tam will keep you entertained again and again. Difficulty is intermediate-to-advanced.
China Camp State Park, Near San Rafael: A longtime favorite of many Bay Area riders, this popular park offers everything from easy rolling doubletrack to moderately technical singletrack with 1000ft of climbing to the highest point. The amount of riding here is deceptive- you can really spend all day if you ride every trail. Beautiful views await every turn as the park is completely surrounded on its eastern side by water. This is a great place for beginners to build confidence, but be aware that it is well used on weekends.
Jackson State Demonstration Forest : The largest state forest in Northern California, this park boasts nearly 50,000 open acres. There is a wide variety of legal singletrack ranging from tight and twisty to fast and rocky. If you go, be in an adventurous mood as much of this forest is at the time of this writing unmapped.
Pacific Union College, Angwin: The campus of Pacific Union College is surrounded by the Las Posadas State Demonstration Forest. While the Demo Forest is off limits, the surrounding trails are the site of the Napa Valley Dirt Classic and the Napa Knobular races. There are miles of rolling singletrack and fire roads - some claim it's the best riding in Napa County. Terrain should be moderate-to-advanced with lots of opportunities to get lost. Be well supplied.
Point Reyes National Seashore, Point Reyes: Located on 100 miles of unspoiled California coastline and only one hour north of San Francisco, Point Reyes is a wonderful place to explore on a mountain bike. Most of the riding is on fire roads, with some select singletrack open to bikes. The scenery is the true draw here, and there is none better in terms of rugged, stunning coast. Terrain is easy-to-moderate.
|Rush Creek, Novato: A pleasant beginner ride, with lots of dappling shade while riding amongst the oaks and bay laurel. The trail runs northeast, parallel to and between Rush Creek and the lower slopes of Green Ridge east of Highway 101. A diverse waterfowl population uses the wetlands of the Petaluma River to the north of the creek, with excellent vistas of Mt. Burdell to the west and Sonoma Mountain to the north. There is very little elevation change and total distance out and back is approx. 10 miles.
Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, Kenwood: This park is located northeast of Kenwood in the Mayacamas Mountains between the Sonoma and Napa valleys. Elevations within the large park range from 600 feet at the entrance to 2,729 feet at the top of Bald Mountain, which overlooks the Napa Valley with Mount Saint Helena to the north. Terrain ranges from easy to advanced with a mix of singletrack and fire roads.
Mount Tamalpais State Park, Mill Valley: It is well known and much-lamented that most of the singletrack trails on Mt. Tamalpais are now illegal for bicycles. However, the birthplace of the modern mountain bike continues to impress with the challenge of rapid elevation change and some of the most beautiful views anywhere in the Bay Area. There are many famous fire roads and a few sections of sweet legal singletrack that wind around Mt. Tam, along with some beautiful rides through the lakes area of the Tamalpais Municipal Water District. Terrain ranges from easy to difficult because of the sometimes rapid elevation change.
|Tennessee Valley, Near Tamalpais Valley: Part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, the intermediate-level Tennessee Valley Loops are characterized by wide open ridgeland with sweeping panoramas and offer a variety of trail conditions. Summertime weather can vary, temperatures can drop 20 or more degrees in a matter of minutes when the fog comes in, so be prepared and pack a windbreaker. Expect anywhere from 1600-2500ft of elevation change.
|Tomales Bay State Park, Inverness: This Park is beautifully situated on Mt. Vision between Tomales Bay and the Point Reyes National Seashore. While there isn't a huge area to ride, the vistas and viewpoints make the 1300ft climb up Mt. Vision worthwhile. Terrain is easy-to-moderate.
Boggs Mountain State Demonstration Forest, Whispering Pines : Some of the best mountain biking in Napa County can be found at Boggs Mountain. The area contains some fire road but a whole lot of fun singletrack, sparsely forested mildly sloped hills, and some challenging but short climbs. The state forest area covers the top of Boggs Mountain, which stays between about 2800 and 4000ft elevation. Terrain is intermediate-to-advanced.

Nearly 12 years after a man was fatally shot while sleeping at his East Side home, Columbus police have arrested a man for the slaying.
Gregory L. Crockett, 31, whose last known address was on the South Side, is charged with murder. He is in the Franklin County jail and is scheduled to appear in Franklin County Municipal Court today.
Crockett is accused of shooting a gun into a house at 1663 Zettler Rd. during the early morning of Sept. 19, 2001. A bullet passed through a wall and struck Jason Satterwhite, 27, in his left eye. He died a few days later at Grant Medical Center.
Within a week of the shooting, Crockett turned himself in to police. Witnesses and neighbors interviewed by police had led authorities to him.
But Crockett was never indicted for the slaying in Franklin County Common Pleas Court.
Columbus police homicide detectives from the Cold Case Unit filed the murder charge on Monday. They would not discuss what new evidence prompted the charges.
Camille Satterwhite, Jason Satterwhite's widow, said last night that the charges have been a long time coming. She has raised their daughter, now 13, alone.
"Hopefully they'll have a good case against him this time."

A new Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean firmware is rolling out over the air to the Samsung Galaxy S3 in India. The firmware updates the phone to build number I9300XXDLK1 and has a build date of November 8th, and is around 310 MB in size for those on Android 4.0.4 and only 45 MB for those already on an older version of 4.1.1.
There is also a full custom flash-able version of the firmware available, which can be used by those that wish to manually flash to the new firmware, specially those looking to shift from a custom ROM, as official updates can't be installed over the air or via Kies.
Do keep in mind though, that installing this firmware over a custom ROM may need you to wipe the data on your phone, though it can be backed up and restored later on. Since this is an official firmware, the flash counter will not increase and the warranty will not be voided, but wiping data is something that might be necessary as mentioned.
Let's take a look at how the XXDLK1 Android 4.1.1 firmware can be installed on the Galaxy S3.
The procedure described below is only for the Samsung Galaxy S3, model number i9300. Do not try it on any other device, not even on the LTE/US variant of the Galaxy S3.
The methods and procedures discussed here are considered risky, so try them out at your own risk, and make sure to read each step carefully before attempting anything. We will not be held responsible if anything goes wrong.
How to Update Galaxy S3 to XXDLK1 Firmware
- [Important] You might need to wipe the data on the phone to make the firmware boot up properly. Hence, to be sure you do not lose any data, backup your Apps and important data — bookmarks, contacts, SMS, APNs (internet settings), etc. This Android backup guide would help you. The SD card contents are always safe, so there is no need to back up those. Only backup apps and personal data.
NOTE: Don't forget to at least note down your network's APN settings, which are required to make mobile data work. Go into Settings » More » Mobile Networks, click on the APN that is in use, then note down the setting for each field. While APN settings should be automatically restored from network, you can enter them manually if needed to make mobile data work. You can also find your APN details → here.
- You need to have the drivers for the phone installed on your computer. You can download Samsung's Kies software and install it, which will install the drivers as well (skip this step if Kies is already installed on your computer).
Download Kies
You can also download the drivers directly — download from here: 32 bit (x86) Windows | 64-bit (x64) Windows
- Download the firmware.
Download Link | Filename: I9300XXDLK1_I9300ODDDLI7_INU.zip
- Extract the file downloaded in step 3 on the computer to obtain a file named I9300XXDLK1_I9300ODDDLI7_I9300DDDLJ1_HOME.tar.md5 (the file name may end at .tar, which is normal). This is the actual firmware file that we need to flash on the phone.
- Download Odin. Odin is Samsung's PC tool for flashing firmware, and we'll use it to flash the firmware file obtained in step 4.
Download Odin3 v3.04 | Filename: Odin3_v3.04.zip
- Extract the contents of the Odin3_v3.04.zip file to a folder on your computer.
- Turn off your Galaxy S3 and wait for it to shut down completely.
- Then, put the phone into download mode. To do so, press and hold these keys together: Volume Down + Home + Power till the phone turns on and shows a Warning!! screen. Then press Volume Up to enter download mode.
- Open Odin by double-clicking on the Odin3 v3.04.exe file obtained in step 6 after extracting Odin3_v3.04.zip.
- Important! Connect your phone to PC now. You should get the message "Added !!" under Odin's message box in the bottom left.
- If you don't get this message, make sure you installed drivers correctly (using Kies or directly) as given in step 2. If it still doesn't work, try changing to another USB port on the computer and also use the USB ports on the back if you have a desktop PC.
- Click on the PDA button in Odin, then browse to and select the I9300XXDLK1_I9300ODDDLI7_I9300DDDLJ1_HOME.tar.md5 file obtained in step 4 above.
- Important! Do not make any other changes in Odin except selecting the required files as given in step 11. Leave all other options as they are. Make sure Re-Partition check box is not selected.
- Now, make sure you took a backup as explained in step 1 before continuing, then click the Start button in Odin to start flashing the firmware on your phone. When the flashing is complete and is successful, you'll get a PASS message (with green background) in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin, and the phone will automatically reboot. When you see the Samsung logo, you can safely unplug the cable.
- What do if Odin gets stuck or doesn't do anything: If ODIN gets stuck on setup connection or at any stage of this process after you've hit the Start button, and doesn't seem to be doing anything, or if upon completion of the process you get a FAIL message (with red background) in ODIN, do this: disconnect the phone from the PC, close ODIN, remove battery for 4-5 seconds, re-insert it, turn phone on in Download mode again, and do the procedure again from Step 9.
- [Important] What to do if phone doesn't boot: After you get the PASS message and the phone reboots, the phone might get stuck at the booting animation. If that happens, perform the following steps to make it boot. Remember that these steps will wipe your personal data like contacts, apps, messages, etc. If your phone has already booted, you can stop reading the guide here, your phone has been updated successfully:
- Boot to recovery mode — for which, first power off phone (by removing battery and reinserting it), wait for 5-6 seconds, and then press and hold Home + Volume Up + Power keys together till the screen turns on, then let them go to boot into recovery. Once you are in recovery mode, use volume keys to move the selection up and down and home/power key to select the option.
- Go to Wipe data/Factory Reset and select it. Select Yes on next screen.
- Then, select reboot system now to reboot the phone, which will now boot properly.
- If you run into any roadblocks while flashing the firmware, let us know and we'll help you out.
Your Galaxy S3 is now running on the XXDLK1 firmware. Do let us know how it works!

It's official! The 2012 Lead Generation Metrics & Compensation Report is now available. This year's study is based on a survey of 197 B2B companies with inside sales groups. This report is focused on the lead generation (sourcing pipeline) model.
The fourth report since 2007 attempts to share where we are now, where we've been and what it all means. Survey participants were asked:
How has managing lead generation changed in recent years? Here are a few responses:
Lead Generation Has Grown Up
- The role has been elevated from being viewed as a low-skill phone resource to being viewed as an important element of a sales strategy.
- Today, quality is key and lead generation is becoming a proper part of the sales cycle. It is about identifying REAL opportunities which match with the model/strategy. For us, the group reports to Marketing and that is in question. At some point, it might have to be moved to sales.
- Lead generation used to be volume based; it was mostly about a pure appointment setting activity. Now it's about quality and not quantity. It's a more critical part of the pipeline generation/overall sales process than most people give it credit for.
Crazy Busy Buyers
- There's less direct contact with key buyers. So there's more emphasis on value messaging and specific insight from lead nurturing, trigger events or insight gleaned from speaking with lower level folks (day in the life pains).
- It's increasingly more difficult as c-levels hide behind AAs, voicemail and even e-mail. It takes more dogged determination and creativity.
What Matters Now
- Lead Gen has evolved from purely hunting, to marketing response, to a best balance of the two.
- The more it changes, the more it stays the same – list quality and the ability to get good, clean names is the biggest challenge.
- Hiring, It has become increasingly difficult to hire reps directly out of college as we did in the past. Furthermore, there seems to be a lack of job seekers in our geography.
Motivation: New reps have come to expect a quick ascension to other roles such as outside or inside (quota carrying) sales reps. Very few lead generation reps have continued on in the role after 1 year.
- The days of "smiling and dialing" are wholly over; lead gen reps now need virtually identical training to salespeople – understanding triggers, prospect buying behavior, etc. – in order to be effective. Managing lead generation is thus not simply about enforcing call volume; it's about ensuring that call quality is there, and every interaction is valuable for the prospect.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs About Calorie Postings
Q. Are all chain restaurants in New York state required to post calories on their menus and boards?
A. Not now. Currently, NYC and four other counties in NYS (Albany, Schenectady, Ulster and Suffolk) require and enforce calorie posting in chain restaurants with more than 15 locations nationally. Once federal legislation passes in 2011, all chain restaurants in the United States (with more than 20 locations nationally) will be required to post calories.
Q. Where can I find calorie postings?
A. Calorie postings can be found on menu boards, printed menus and drive-thru menu boards.
On menus, the posting can be found on the actual menu with the calories listed next to each menu item (similar size and font), or as an insert, appendix, supplemental menu or electronic kiosk at the table.
Any chain restaurant with a menu board is required to list the calorie next to each menu item (similar size and font).
FAQs About my Caloric Intake
Q. I'm not sure if I need more or less than 2,000 calories a day. Where can I find more information?
A. http://www.mypyramid.gov has information to assist in planning for caloric needs as well as meal planning.
Q. How many calories should my snacks be?
A. Depending on your calorie needs per day, snacks should be around 100 calories.
Q. What if I am concerned about other nutrients in fast food meals, like sodium or fat. Does that information also have to be posted on the menus and menu boards?
A. Not currently. When federal menu labeling laws go into effect for all chain restaurants, the restaurant will be required to have that information available to customers upon request. Currently, you may need to go to the web site for the chain restaurant you are considering eating at to get that information.

Vooks GOTY 2012: Best Nintendo eShop Game Winners – Wii U and 3DS
Originally we were going to do these awards just as one super uber digital download award, but with the quality of games on the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U eShops having one award just wasn't good enough.
The winner for the Nintendo 3DS was clear, taking nearly 30% of the combined 3DS and Wii U votes, that game is Fallblox, the excellent sequel to Pullblox which also took out this award last year.
On the Wii U front the voting was much closer but it was still Nano Assault Neo taking home the top award. Congratulations to both winners! Here's the (combined) results;
- Fallblox / Crashmo (3DS) – 29.49%
- Mutant Mudds (3DS) – 10.26%
- Nano Assault Neo (Wii U) – 10.26%
- The Denpa Men: They Came By Wave (3DS) – 8.97%
- Pokedex 3D Pro (3DS) – 7.69%
Coming up tomorrow it's the favourite multiplatform title, that may or may not be on a Nintendo console. We all do play other consoles right?
December 28, 2012 at 10:22 am
Damn i wish i could have voted. Not sure why the site wouldn't let me 🙁
December 28, 2012 at 4:34 pm
after seeing that trailer I might just buy Nano Assault, for straight enjoyment value my fav e-shop game was Hydroventure
December 28, 2012 at 6:40 pm
Its not bad, I hope they consider releasing DLC for it. I tend to randomly lay in bed and kill some time with it.

A report of a man with a gun led to a fireworks citation for a town of Berry man Thursday, authorities said.
Dane County Sheriff's deputies responded to a complaint of a man with a gun in the area of 4800 Scherbel Road at about 3:20 p.m.
Deputies said 32-year-old James Weightman had what appeared to be a gun, but it turned out to be a 37mm gas-charged fireworks launcher.
The sheriff's office said Weightman had launched a firework at the time of the initial call. Weightman was cited for possession of fireworks, a $200.50 citation, according to a news release.

For any of you that dont know (which probably isnt many), Nero Clean Tool is shite. After my failed attempt to install Nero 9 I ran the clean tool as recommended. When I ran my registry editor program (Registry First Aid Editor) it showed up over 70 invalid registry paths and over 120 invalid file extensions, which Nero left behind. If you have been uninstalling and reinstalling Nero recently and dont already have one I would suggest getting a decent registry repair program such as the one I use or PC Tools Registry Mechanic which I have also heard good things about. Im sure there are lots of other useful programs out there as well but those are the two that I mainly know of.
As per usual Ahead are making a mess of things. Removing all references to Nero in the registry was supposed to be one of the functions of the clean tool. The fact that it doesnt work is no surprise though.

I agree completely. That is the reason why I have had to redo my system several times this week while trying to update Nero 8. When one runs Nero Clean, it leaves plenty of debris behind (including items in hidden folders) and screws up your registry. This tool simply does not work as advertised, and as usual, Nero does not give a hoot.

I've been struggling to rid my system of Nero. What is the best way to go about it (haven't done anything as yet cos I was paranoid about downloading the clean tool in case it was bug-ridden)? I'm a relative novice so layman's terms would be good

Hello All. Uninstalling Nero can be a daunting task, but it can be done without injury to your operating system. diamondsp, if you could include which operating system you have; is it "WinXP" or "Vista" . This would better allow me to be of some help. Anyway here is what I do in Vista if you want a "clean" uninstallation. This process is lengthy and requires some patience, but it will pay off. The instruction is for Vista 32 or 64 bit systems.
Go to the search window located at the bottom of the "Program Launcher" in Vista by pressing the "Start" button. Type in "msconfig", press enter. This will open the "system configuration utility". Navigate to the "services" tab and check the box at the bottom that says "hide all Microsoft services". Next move to the radio button that says "Disable All". Then navigate to the "Start up" tab - click the tab, and again select the radio button marked "disable all", select "OK" at the bottom of the window and when prompted to reboot - reboot your system. The purpose of this is to shut down all running and startup programs excluding critical Microsoft components needed to run your operating system. This process is helpful in preventing application corruption when removing such a large program.
After rebooting; again go to the search window located at the bottom of the "Launcher" in Vista. In the search bar type "Programs and Features", then launch the panel. You will see a listing of all installed applications in your computer. Find the "Nero" installation and select to uninstall (located at the top of the panel). Vista will now go through the process of uninstalling Nero - you will find (if you are uninstalling Nero 9) that this is as lengthy a process as installing the software. After the uninstall is complete, reboot your system.
After reboot, from your desktop again go to the search window located at the bottom of the "Launcher" and type "Nero", this initiates a surface search of your system and will populate the above window with Nero entries -THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU WANT. Instead just above the search window you will note a selection marked "search everywhere", click there. This will launch a secondary window (Vista Explorer Window), expand this window if it is not when it launches. On the left side of the panel you will see a selection marked "advanced search", click there. Now the top of the window will expand with several selections. At the top will be a drop down marked "Locations", click this and select "all locations" (this will contain all of the hard drives on your system), next at the top on the far left check the box marked "Include non-indexed, hidden and system files". Once you have checked this box, you will notice a green progress bar run across the top of the window. Vista is now searching every hard drive and file for anything related to Nero.
Wait until Explorer has finished searching and you will note that the page has become populated with everything in your system Nero related. NOW BEFORE YOU BEGIN DELETING, I highly recommend that you have a good, solid Registry Cleaner installed in your system. Regardless of how you uninstall any application you will leave application residue, a registry cleaner is excellent for removing this "junk" from your system after deleting multiple files. Also, I have tried to describe this in the most simplistic way that I can, If you feel uncomfortable attempting this or become anxious or nervous - go with your gut and leave things alone! This is purely a manual method of removing any application from your operating system, not just Nero. But I have found it to be the most thorough.
That said: your ready to remove the program. Take a moment to go through the various entries, if you see an entry your not quite sure of - leave it alone. Now go through each entry one by one, highlight the entry you wish to remove, right click on your mouse - select delete and remove the files. Do this for every file associated with the program you want to remove.
When you have finished deleting the files, close out the Explorer window and reboot your system. When you have arrived at your desktop again, this is where a good registry cleaner is invaluable. If you have a cleaner (I use CleanMyPC registry cleaner) this is when you would run it to remove any plaque or traces of deleted programs. You have just removed all traces of Nero files and folders in your operating system. Reboot your system. Now as described at the beginning of this instruction, again go to start and open the program launcher. In the search window type "msconfig" and this will launch the utility once again (you are now going to activate your startup programs again). You will note that you are already on the "General Tab", beneath it you will note a heading marked "Start up selection". Select the button marked "Normal Startup", select "OK" and reboot your system when prompted. Once back at your desktop your system should perform normally, only without Nero.
I hope this helps those of you who are having difficulty removing Nero, I have found this process - although time consuming - very helpful versus using some utilities. I have experienced in the past that some uninstaller utilities can delete other files that are in association with Nero (for example) causing damage to other applications, this manual method is more like using a scalpel to be more precise with removal. There is also a method of removing junk leftover from application uninstalls in the registry - for the novice I would not attempt changing the registry. But if junk registry keys are playing havok with your system, and if anyone is interested I will post instructions for removing junk registry keys as well. Again, I hope this helps.

I had similar problems in running the "Nero Clean Tool" but managed after some time aside (that is prior to wanting to throw the laptop out - yep, that's the level of frustration this crappy piece of software inclusive of Nero 9 has driven me to) to launch in "Safe Mode" and after wading throught the numerous failed to launch this that and the other dll file - I got "Nero Clean Tool" to run and remove the failed installation of Nero 9 (126.96.36.199c).
For the price these guys charge, this is truly hisheartening and disappointing from a company that stayed on top of software issues. If anyone has any other suggestions to get this software up and going, please let me know!

I can't even run the clean tool, it crashes on me.
What's really sad is that Nero has to create a separate tool because the uninstaller can't seam to do the job.

Funny thing is most of the programs seem to work after you pressed cancel on every Windows installer warning.
Except for the wave editor, it crashes immediately.
I tried to install without Live, but that doesn't help much.
And of course during the uninstall process same problems.
As all these things look very obvious, either:
A) Nero is stuck with totally incompetent software engineers, who don't have a clue what they are doing.
B) Nero is basically a bunch of people running an office on the Cayman Islands, who fooled us all by rebranding Nero 8 as Nero 9 and removed some apps.
C) Nero fired all their quality and testing people to save costs and increase revenue.
D) Nero 9 is in fact a beta for Nero 11.

I had the same problem and then after much pain and time, managed to reboot my system to "Safe Mode" from where I ran the Nero Clean Tool and it uninstalled this piece of crap! Move onto greener pastures as Nero is no longer what it used to be, that is dependable and reliable.
Good luck

Hi Brawly,
I am running Windows XP - if you had a similarly helpful answer as to how to remove Nero under XP that would be excellent!
Also a bit of a stupid question here probably - what are the rammifications of just dropping the whole 'Nero' folder from my programme files into the recycle bin and deleting that way? A bad idea I presume but I really want rid of it

Ive been having the same problems, I upgraded from NERO 8 to 9c and ive had codec trouble ever since and it stole all file association.
I tried the clean tool9 and it seemed crap, didnt work properly.
I tried to upgrade to 9d and still was having problems. in the end I tool it off completley.
I decided to have one final try...
I booted up in SAFE MODE and ran the NERO9 AND NERO8 Clean Tool. IT WORKED!
I then tried to install, still in safe mode but it wouldnt work (I was having problems with Spyware Terminator too, so I uninstalled that too) I had to reboot in normal mode.
I tried to install NERO 9d, it worked. but now I have to reinstall it because it stole all file associations.
Hope this helps
