Any "baseboard' heating that installs on wall?
I have forced hot water baseboard heating. I've got a basement bathroom with no heating, and no available wall space at floor level I can install a baseboard. The main reason is because the wall space that's available a pocket door slides into so I can't install a baseboard heating system there. I don't want electric either, I pay $0.23 per kW.
The only space I see where I can tie into my current FHW system and add heating is above the toilet. I was thinking I'll just get a FHW towel warmer, it will heat the room and warm my towels but not a very convenient place to be hanging towels. Then I saw the cost ($250 for the cheapest). Do they make a wall mounted FHW something I can plumb into my heating system that will fit/go above the toilet? Thanks
A baseboard radiator can be installed at any height, although the circulation of warm air is less efficient if the baseboard is mounted really high and there is no ceiling fan.
A baseboard radiator that is not too squatty can be retrofitted with a U-turn (two elbows) and a non-finned pipe that goes under and back the other way so both inlet and outlet are at the same end of the unit. This may permit installing it in front of the pocket door pocket.
Here is one manufacturer of units that would satisfy your requirements:

Henry Margu Wigs(0)
- Trend-setting styles, natural colorations and a relentless dedication to the customer have positioned Henry Margu Wigs as an industry leader. Dynamic styling, natural colorations and incomparable quality create the ultimate in hair fashions.
- We're sorry, but currently, Henry Margu does not yet carry that type of item that you've requested at this time. Please check back again later. Thank you.
Learn Henry Margu Wigs
How do you care for Henry Margu wigs?
Henry Margu wigs and hairpieces are easy to care for. Our superior fiber processing allows our products to "bounce" back to their original style if maintained and cared for correctly. Following are simple instructions to keep all Henry Margu products looking great:
- Brush the wig or hairpiece thoroughly.
- Rinse it in cold or lukewarm water.
- Add a dash of Henry Margu Shampoo for Wigs and wash gently.
- Rinse thoroughly in cold water to remove all shampoo.
- Allow the wig or hairpiece to air dry thoroughly. Lay longer styles flat so the weight of the wet fiber does not pull out the curl pattern. Do not brush while wet, as it may permanently brush out any curl in the fiber.
- After the wig or hairpiece is completely dry, Henry Margu Revitalizing Mist can be used to condition the fiber, making it more manageable and bringing back the original sheen.
- The wig or hairpiece is now ready to be finger styled or brushed into the desired style. Henry Margu Mousse Spritz or Spray for Wigs can be used as styling aids to achieve the desired style.
- Do not use curling irons, blow dryers, or other hot styling instruments as they may damage the fiber.
Are there any special tips to help maintain Henry Margu wigs and hairpieces?
Henry Margu Wig Care Products will help to maintain the life and beauty of any wig and will aid in keeping it in it's original condition. Other than this, caring for the wig or hairpiece correctly is the best way to keep it looking fresh and new. Remember, a wig is like a delicate garment; with the proper care, it will look beautiful.
- Wash the wig or hairpiece regularly.
- When not wearing the wig or hairpiece, make sure it is stored properly. Long styles should be hung or laid flat on a surface. Shorter styles should also be hung or put on a Styrofoam head or wig stand. Do not fold the wig or hairpiece when storing, especially for an extended period of time.
- Be careful wearing a wig or hairpiece around areas of extreme heat such as a hot oven, fireplace or barbecue. While the fiber used on Henry Margu products is not flammable and does not pose a threat, extreme heat can damage the fiber making it frizz or brittle. Extra caution should be used when opening an oven door that is on a high temperature, as the burst of heat that is released can damage the fiber.
- Always brush a wig from the bottom upwards. For longer styles, it is best to lie on a flat surface and brush from the bottom up. This will help to protect the fiber and will keep it from pulling out of the cap.
What is the difference between a monofilament wig and a regular wig?
Most wigs are produced with a lace fabric in the top of the wig. A monofilament wig, or mono-top wig, is made with a special material in the top area that is flesh colored. This monofilament material is a very fine lace material and takes on the color of the wearer's scalp when worn.
Each individual strand of fiber is hand tied into the mono material, as opposed to being sewn to a lace fabric. As a result, a mono-top wig is much more natural looking than a regular wig in that the fiber can be styled in any direction while showing a natural and realistic looking scalp area.

Local school returns after burst pipes
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Students returned to St. Peter Interparish School in Jefferson City on Friday after weather delays and two burst pipes.
Classes were out for three weeks starting December 20. Poor weather conditions canceled sessions Monday and Tuesday. But things were pushed back another two more days for water damage.
Cold temperatures are being blamed for two broken sprinklers, which also leaked down the walls.
Several teachers in the Vogelweid Learning Center are being moved. Officials said carpet, baseboard and ceiling tiles will have to be replaced for a handful of classrooms, which could take a couple weeks. And once the cafeteria is completely sanitized, the facility has to pass a health inspection before serving food.
Games and practices are canceled Friday evening until the repairs are finished. The schedule for Saturday is also dependent on when fixes are complete.


text: most of what i've found online and the forum here have scenarios where cars will start fine in the cold but once they're warmed up, they won't restart. well i'm having the opposite issue. once temperatures get low enough, the engine won't turn over. i've tried a few tips i saw on some threads; making sure the key is warm, trying to start it with the e-brake on and the car in neutral, etc.. but nothing is working. any suggestions? i've got roughly 87,000 miles on it. fuel pump? flaky solenoid? thanks in advance for any help. oh yeah, i replaced the starter about 6 months ago (wasn't even the problem at the time. doh)

Preview: Tune-In Festival and TullyScope
The Park Avenue Armory and Lincoln Center open house in expansive style.
Fri Feb 11 2011
Elliott Kaufman
The Park Avenue Armory inspired eighth blackbird to think big in the Tune-Up Festival.
There are festivals about new music, about old music, about composers, regions, eras and philosophies. But the upcoming Tune-In and Tully Scope festivals, taking place this week at the Park Avenue Armory and Lincoln Center, respectively, don't seem to fit any of those descriptions. There are no overarching themes, historical periods or literary sources linking all the performances in each series. Instead, both events emerge from a desire to showcase venues that are just coming into their own.
The Armory has occasionally hosted operas or concerts over the years, but the current season marks the first time it produced its own schedule of artistic offerings, rather than leasing its space to other organizations. Meanwhile, Lincoln Center, which reopened the thoroughly overhauled Alice Tully Hall in February 2009, is still discovering the space's new strengths. These similar searches have led down disparate paths, the most obvious point of diversion being size. Tully was sculpted into a womblike recital space that holds barely 1,000 concertgoers. Meanwhile the 130-year old, 60,000-square-foot drill hall in the Armory has more in common with an airplane hangar. Each space fits a niche in the New York music ecosystem, which organizers hope become apparent in these two festivals.
"You forget how much a theater or a concert hall determines what you do, but it really does," says Armory president Rebecca Robinson. "Things feel epic when you come in here." Paul Haas's ARCO, the Armory's first musical commission, which opened the Tune-In Festival on February 16, was written with the drill hall's dimensions in mind. For the three remaining events this week, new-music ensemble eighth blackbird sought works that would resonate in the space. "We all in eighth blackbird were nervous about...whether we could come up with a program that would be ambitious enough to take advantage of a space that huge," flutist Tim Munroe says.
One early selection, Louis Andriessen's Worker's Union (to be performed Thursday 17 in a program called "PowerFUL"), will bring together more than 40 musicians on stage. The festival finale, John Luther Adams's Inuksuit, will be presented for the first time indoors on Sunday 20; previously staged on hillsides in Texas and Banff, the work employs 72 percussionists and six piccolo players. Even the Friday 18 offering, "PowerLESS," seems monumental, taking in Georg Friedrich Haas's In Vain (played in total darkness) and Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians.
While the Armory can be imposing to both artists and audience, Tully Scope emphasizes its home's accessibility and ability to accommodate a variety of artists. "You can go from Heiner Goebbels to Emanuel Ax and have it be in an acoustically wonderfully space for both," Lincoln Center vice president Jane Moss says, referring to an avant-garde composer and a celebrated pianist both featured in the festival.
In fact, Lincoln Center has used Tully Scope—much as it used last fall's White Light Festival—to unite a diverse array of artists, ranging from viol master Jordi Savall and his early-music group Hesprion XXI to alt-rocker and former Battles member Tyondai Braxton, who will performing with the Wordless Music Orchestra. "A festival always gives you the chance to open up new ground," says Goebbels, whose Songs of Wars I Have Seen concludes Tully Scope. "My works very often are presented in festivals rather than regular programs, because they don't really fit into any of these categories. Even the title, Songs of Wars, is a bit aggravating, because there's not so much singing."
Perhaps the most ambitious objective of Tully Scope is to use the entire building, including its glass-enclosed foyer and caf, to foster a dialogue between performers, presenters and attendees. Throughout the three-week festival, Lincoln Center will use those spaces for free performances, including "Opening Bells" on Tuesday 22, as well as artist talks and postconcert gatherings. "It took us a while to discover how beautifully the public space works in relationship to the hall," Moss says. "It's really unique in New York. It creates a wonderful community around a festival, which is really what you want."
The Tune-In Festival runs Wed 16--Sun 20 at the Park Avenue Armory. Tully Scope runs Tue 22--Mar 18 at Alice Tully Hall (at Lincoln Center).

Why go now?
September is a month of exhibitions and festivals in Linz and this year there's more going on than ever, as the city gears up to become European Capital of Culture 2009.
Checking in
Behind a blue pastel façade right on the main square lies the delightful Wolfinger Hotel (Hauptplatz 19, 00 43 732 773 2910; www.hotelwolfinger.at, doubles from €126), a converted 17th-century monastery with oodles of character and an air of calm. More in keeping with the avant-garde spirit of 'Linz09', is the ultra-modern (and very comfortable) Spitz Hotel (Fiedlerstrasse 6, 00 43 732 733733; www.spitzhotel.at, doubles from €135). The decor of each its seven floors is given over to a different one of the city's arts institutions, from the Brucknerhaus concert hall (the composer lived and worked in Linz) to the digital arts centre, Ars Electronica.
More unusual still is the new Linz09 Pixel Hotel (00 43 650 743 7953; www.pixelhotel.at, doubles from €124), so called because its rooms are dotted across the city (with breakfast in local cafes). Young architects have taken over unused spaces - from a tram to a car park roof - and are turning them into rooms inspired by their previous use. A 1960s workshop/garage, for example, now houses a red double bed, a caravan (sleeps two kids), and a lighting wall. For budget accommodation, The Goldener Anker (Hofgasse 5, 00 43 732 771088, doubles from €30) is the oldest guesthouse in Linz and one of Bruckner's favourite haunts.
Hit the streets
The Lentos Kunstmuseum (Ernst-Koref-Promenade 1, 00 43 732 7070 3600; lentos.at), a reflective glass arch next to the Danube, colourfully lit at night, has a permanent exhibition interestingly curated by contemporary artists and a fascinating Kokoschka show (until 5 October).
The flagship Ars Electronica Centre (Graben 15, 00 43 732 7272; aec.at) is an Aladdin's cave of interactive virtual displays for adults and children: hang from the ceiling and 'fly' over Linz, don brainwave detectors and enter 'the cave' for a psychedelic 3D tour. The centre closes on 13 October, to reopen on 2 January in its new building on the Danube. Ars Electronica is known globally for its annual competition. The best of this year's 3,000 entries - from computer animation to interactive installations - go on show in Cyberart 08 at the OK Centre (OK Platz 1, 00 43 732 784178; ok-centrum.at) from Thursday to 12 October.
Linz is not so proud of its connection with Hitler - who grew up here and loved the city. He planned to build his art museum in Linz and this uncomfortable legacy is explored in the Linz09 exhibition, 'The Cultural Capital of the Fuhrer', opening 17 September in a newly built wing of the city's Schlossmuseum (Tummelplatz 10, 00 43 732 774419; schlossmuseum.at).
Neighbourhood watch
The city's heart is the attractive 17th-century pastel-coloured Hauptplatz, with its open-air cafes (not yet overpriced) and thrice weekly markets. The pleasant cobbled old town is compact and mainly pedestrianised. The city boasts the oldest church in Austria, Martinskirche (c.799) and its largest cathedral, the neo-gothic 'New Cathedral' where Bruckner played the organ. It has interesting modern stained glass and regular concerts. At the corner of Altstadt and Klosterstrasse you can look up at the room where Mozart wrote his Linz symphony, and along the Danube (not blue but nonetheless dramatic) are grassy parks and even a small swimming 'beach'.
Coffee break
The Austrians love their coffee break and Linz's speciality is Linzer torte (nutty pastry-cake with jam). The Traximayr Café (Promenade 16) is a large traditional Viennese-style Kaffeehaus with newspapers and tuxedoed waiters, while the Fritz Rath (Pfarrgasse 17) is small, wood-panelled and cosy. For arty coffee, go to the Lentos Café by the Kunstmuseum, which also serves eight different hot chocolates and all-day food.
Retail therapy
A wide variety of Linzer torte packed for travel can be bought from Jindrak (Herrenstrasse 22-24, linzertorte.at). The Almesberger Studio (Hofgasse 7, schmuckdesigner.at) sells Danube pebble jewellery handmade by the owner. Contemporary jewellery and clothes by local designers can be found in the Lentos Museum Shop
Worked up an appetite
You can eat very well in Linz without breaking the bank. Promenadenhof (Promenade 39, 00 43 732 777661; promenadenhof.at) serves excellent modern Austrian food in a bright relaxed interior and lovely garden. Clientele include the Prime Minister of Upper Austria and artistic director of Linz09. Small and traditional, Leopold Struberl (Adlergasse 6, 00 43 732 776231; weekdays only) offers very inexpensive Austrian home cooking. Entirely different, P'aa (Alstaad 28, 00 43 70 776461; paa.cx) is a trendy place serving tasty vegetarian dishes.
Escape the city
The most popular Linz excursion is up the Postlingberg, a hill on the edge of town topped by a pretty 18th-century pilgrimage church and 19th-century fortifications. It is reached by the steepest adhesion railway in the world (reopening summer 2009) or by bus. There are beer gardens with panoramic views over the city and a children's fantasy train ride, the Grottenbahn
Big night out
The 'Bermuda triangle' of narrow streets east of Hauptplatz is the centre of Linz nightlife, with numerous small international bars; try African iKaal, Italian Amore Vino or, currently the hippest, Aquarium. However, the city is more about culture than clubbing and the tourist office (Hauptplatz 1, 00 43 732 7070 1777; linz.at/tourismus) produces a daily events list. The free 'Cloud of Sound' festival starts on 6 September with a music and laser show by the Danube. 14 September marks the start of the annual Bruckner Festival of classical music and jazz.
Meanwhile, the annual Ars Electronica Festival (4-9 September; aec.at/culturaleconomy), dedicated to the artistic, social and cultural impact of new technology, is this year themed 'A New Cultural Economy - the limits of intellectual property'. Linz09 brings yet more cultural activity; see the Linz09 diary at linztermine.at.
Getting there
Ryanair flies direct from Stansted to Linz (ryanair.com) but you can also fly to Vienna with BA (ba.com), Austrian (aua.com) or Easyjet (easyjet.com) and take the train (1hr 35mins) to Linz.

TYR Tactical PICO Assaulters Plate Carrier
Given the increasing weight from sensors, batteries, and other tools, operators try to minimize weight wherever possible, so most have switched from vests to plate carriers. The PICO serves as a basic plate carrier, but the operator can add side armor, and then pelvic, groin, biceps, and deltoid protection, and even drop leg ballistic panels. The newest version of PICO can be configured as part of a dynamic load carrying system which transfers some of the weight onto a belt that rests on the hips. PICO is made of a new material called PV, a combination of military spec nylon and Dupont Kevlar that decreases material weight by 20 to 50 percent but is about 10 times stronger than standard tactical nylon material.

"All clear" in New Prague, students sent home for the day
New Prague Middle School locked down for several hours Wednesday morning on suspicions of a shooting, but the call initating the lockdown turned out to be a hoax.
Police initially responded to a 911 call about an "active shooter" in the area. The call came from a deactivated cell phone. Scott County sheriff Kevin Studnick gave the "all clear" order shortly after 10:00am.
A 12-year-old New Prague student was taken into custody as a result of the prank call.
From the Associated Press:
A 911 call in which a caller claimed several people had been gunned down at a school in southern Minnesota was likely a hoax, a county sheriff said Wednesday.
The call early Wednesday prompted authorities to lock down the middle school, high school and Central Education Campus buildings in New Prague, 45 miles southwest of Minneapolis. Scott County Sheriff Kevin Studnicka said all students and staff are safe.
Officers have started to clear the schools' buildings, Studnicka said.
The sheriff said dispatchers took a 911 call from a male caller about 8 a.m. who said he was inside one of the school buildings.
"He claimed he needed help because there was a shooter in the building with an AK-47 and that there were a couple of victims," Studnicka said. When dispatchers asked for the caller's cellphone number, he claimed it was a new phone and he didn't know the number, the sheriff said.
Emergency vehicles from several police departments converged on the middle school, a red brick building on the north side of New Prague, about 45 miles southwest of Minneapolis. Parents were directed to a church. Scott County Sheriff's Sgt. John Kvasnick said students were to be sent home at 10:30 a.m.
Studnicka said there was no evidence of a shooting or of a person with a gun. Kvasnick confirmed that no one was hurt and nothing was found in a search of the middle school.
The middle and high schools have a combined enrollment of 2,067.

DEVO returns with fan-driven album
By Andrew Potter
LONDON (Reuters) - The alternative music act Devo, best known for its 1980 hit "Whip It," is pioneering a new method to help win fan approval. It is asking them what they want to hear.
Singer and co-founder Mark Mothersbaugh told Reuters Television that the U.S. band's first album for 20 years -- "Something for Everybody" -- was shaped through an online campaign which asked fans for their opinions.
"We thought people understood us enough to make observations which could be really important," he said.
The resulting disc bears a promotional sticker that reads "88 percent focus group approved."
Fans helped whittle a selection of 16 songs down to 12 which appear on the album, selected the new color for the band's trademark flower pot hats (blue rather than red) and even issued decisive advice on the cover art.
"The focus group liked the picture of the woman eating a piece of candy in the shape of a Devo hat," Mothersbaugh said.
The campaign was devised by U.S. advertising agency Mother.
"People nowadays really don't like surprises," Mother creative director Bill Moulton told Reuters. "They look at surprise as something negative, as something scary." Continued...

By Guide Emmanuel Kichao – A Birthday Celebration To Remember
Jambo! My name is Emmanuel and I a driver-guide with ADS. I have just completed a very special safari with my two guests from California. There names are Joseph and Courtney. It was an extra special trip as the guest were celebrating their 75th and 74th birthdays. As pictured here we arranged for them to receive our traditional Maasai birthday gifts.
Thankfully the high expectations I had for this special safari were exceeded with the tremendous wildlife action we encountered. We enjoyed a total of 8 nights on safari with 2 nights in the West Serengeti at Kirawira Tented Camp, 2 nights in the Central Serengeti at Four Seasons Bilila, 2 nights on and near the Ngorongoro Crater split between Lion's Paw Camp and the Ngorongoro Manor and our final 2 nights in Tarangire National Park at Swala Tented Camp.
It turned out to be a spectacular program and we really got lucky with some tremendous wildlife encounters. Some of the highlights included watching a lion kill, close encounters with both cheetahs and leopards, witnessing the great migration, watching the large crocs in the Grumeti River, spending time with a hyena family at their den site and in general just enjoying the natural beauty of Tanzania's national parks, which I am very proud to call my own.
Attached to my posting are some pictures from my safari. Asante Sana!

" Developed by Jellyvision and published by Bandai Digital Entertainment. A game that tests peoples knowledge of random trivia and pop culture which also includes music and jokes. "
Trivia. Gee whiz. How exciting. I'm sure you all remember playing Trivial Pursuit. The very thought of trivia as a computer game seems.. well.. dull. And its not like such a game would require much programming, or even time to put together. You could sit down for a a few hours in Hypercard or Basic and make a pretty decent trivia game in no time flat. Just get some questions, make a real basic engine, and fill in the blanks. Add a few random commands, make a system for keeping score.. viola. You've got trivia. Nothing to it.
So if trivia is so easy to make on a computer, and if it appears to be nothing more than a boring, senseless idea that makes your fingers itch to strafe, shotgun, and repeat.. then why is You Don't Know Jack so frigging cool?
Play it, and find out: It's gotta be the style.
You Don't Jack is the premiere computer trivia game: when most people think of trivia on computers, they think Jack. When Jack first came out, back in the day when CD-Rom games were in their infancy, I figured it would just be another shameless exploitation of the newfound ability to cram a bunch of sound and junk into one medium. If any of you have ever played some of the other 1st generation CD-ROM titles, like Night Trap or Dragon's Lair for instance, you probably know what I'm talking about. If not, let's just say the first games to hit CD-Rom were lame.. just an excuse to show off how much Full Motion Video we could fit on one little disk.
You Don't Know Jack had no video, but it did have sound. A lot of sound. A bout 24 hours worth of sound on one CD! Now THAT'S good compression. And instead of being wasteful, they were actually quite tidy -- the questions never got boring, and the satire, so thick you could cut it with a knife, was always entertaining. The host, Nick Shapiro, was witty and cynical. His derogatory marks toward your play just made you want to press on and play some more.
You Don't Know Jack was a stunning success, winning a few awards in an age that was dark for CD-Rom. It's success called forth a much needed sequel for those who had been through the 1,200 original questions and desired more. Enter You Don't Know Jack: Volume 2. More of the same, although not without its differences from its predecessor.
The point to the Jack games is simple enough. You and up to two of your friends go at it in a three way trivia fest that is set up something like a game show. You play either a 7 or a 21 question game. Then, you pick a category.. usually something pretty bizarre, like "Up your nose with a rubber senator." The question is then given a value. The question is popped on the screen, along with four possible answers. Buzz in first and answer correctly, and you net yourself the amount of $$$ the question was designated. Screw up and answer wrong, and that score will be detracted from your total.
Sounds simple enough, right? Well, it is... but when the hilarious comments start to fly about, and when you really start to feel the competitive spirit between your friends, you may find that three people crowded around one keyboard are having more fun than 16 people all around the country blasting each other to smithereens in Quake 2.
Jack: Volume 2 also presents players with some other types of questions. The gibberish question is back from the original. In the Gibberish question, a rather odd phrase is printed on the screen. You only have so much time to figure out what other phrase it rhymes with, usually a cliche or proverb of some sort. Figure it out first, buzz in, and get it right and you net yourself some greenbacks.. more if you answer earlier.
New to the Jack Series is the "Dis or Dat" question. This question only works for one player only. When it starts up, you'll be given two different categories, each designated to a different key on the keyboard. For instance, "Dallas" would be on key 1 while "Dynasty" would be on another. And then, words will start popping up at the top of the screen. You have to figure out if that word matches category 1 or category 2. For instance, J.R. pops up... you'd obvious hit 1, right? (I mean, J.R. WAS a Dallas character.. right?)
There are also a couple of other new types of questions.. one of the more noticeable ones being the "picture" question. Yes, that's right.. there are actually graphics in this version of Jack! In a picture question, a picture will show up on the screen -- usually a quite bizarre picture -- and you'll be given four choices. Each choice is a possible title for that picture. You have to pick the title that closest matches the picture shown. Just like the other questions, you gain or lose money depending on your answer.
And of course, the granddaddy of all Jack questions, the Jack Attack. In the Jack Attack, which is the FINAL question of a game, you'll be given a category.. for example, "I AM YOUR FATHER!!!" As you play the Jack Attack, words will drift into the foreground from the background. Slam on your buzzer when two words match the "clue," and you net 2000 bucks. Buzz in at the wrong time, and you lose 2000 bucks. SO if the words "Rosemary's Baby" were floating into the foreground, when the word "Satan" showed up, you'd slam on your buzzer.
The questions are easy to understand and easy to play, and even if you don't fully understand my explanations above, it'll become clear as you play.
Of course, how could I forget the "Screw" feature. One of the more brilliant elements of Jack is the ability to "Screw" the other players. If a question shows up for, let's say, the maximum amount of $6,000, and you know there's NO WAY the other players know it.. then screw one of em, preferably the one in the lead or closest to you in the lead. You get one screw for every ten questions, which forces the other player to answer the question. Be warned, though, that if they somehow get it right, they gain the money for the question.. and you, in turn, lose it. (Nothing more satisfying than screwing the screwer, though.)
The differences between Jack 2 and the original Jack don't end with new questions, though. The game also features new, well produced jingles that introduce each question, and a greater variety of them, as well as a new host -- Nate Shapiro's younger cousin. It sounds kinda like Nate, but his voice is a little higher. Personally, I don't think he's as good as Nate.. but what can you do? He still does a respectable job, however -- the Jack team doesn't hire bad hosts. (Although the netshow host IS kinda lame..) Also, the style has been redone a little bit.. mostly a new color scheme.. but it's still the Same Old Jack at the core.
The graphics are virtually nonexistent -- this is a trivia game, made mostly of words. With the exception of the "picture" questions, there aren't many pretty pictures to look at in the game. The style of questions and such in the game is unmistakable, though. The game uses its own set of fonts, and they sure do look nice. Also, each question is introduced by a set of animated, dancing letters. The category, question, and scores all jump on the screen with a unique style. The game is clean cut and efficient, just as it should be. In a game like this, the words alone are eye candy.
The sounds are all appropriate and excellent. As you ponder your next category choice, snippets of music ranging from playful banjos to full orchestral ditty's await you in the background. A gorgeous Acapella group introduces each question, usually in a rather humorous way. Words rush on to the screen with splats, spins, and whirrs, all keeping your attention in what would otherwise be a boring process. The host, though not as good as the original, is always entertaining, witty.. and never repeats himself. EVER. For every question, he has a new way to insult you for being wrong, and new long stories to tell if you get it right.. in order to explain WHY it's right. The variety of voice samples in this game may amaze you, if you realize how much they crammed on one CD.
All in all, Jack 2 is more of the same, with a few fun upgrades and a couple of unfortunate downgrades. If you loved the original, like I did, you should have no complaints about this sequel. If you have friends.. I should hope so.. and you want to share with them a trivia experience that is actually entertaining and funny, instead of just.. well, a luck thing like trivial pursuit, then sit yourselves down in front of Jack and have yourself a blast -- there's plenty of Jack to be played.
You came for the Lobster.. you'll stay for the Trivia! ;)

SPECIFIC Cape Cod insulation idea for you CC experts. Thoughts?
Hi Everyone,
I just purchased a 1500 sq. ft. 1936 Brick Cape Cod in Arlington VA. Very hot summer + cold Winter. The attic bedroom stayed warm enough during the winter but now that the weather is changing it is unbearably hot.
I am looking at ripping down all the fiberboard and insulating the whole roof and walls but stumped on how to get the most bank for my few bucks.
Problem 1. Low Budget.
Problem 2. Only 5.5 inches of space from roof deck to end of rafter, not allowing much space for insulation.
I wish I could afford closed cell spray foam but it sounds extremely expensive.
What I was thinking was starting fresh and..
1 wrap the whole roof deck in thin reflective foil radiant barrier. Radiant side facing roof.
2. Squeeze in some eco friendly R13 thats up against the non radiant side of the barrier leaving hopefully a 1 inch gap to end of rafter.
3. install 1-2 inch thick rigid foam boards over top that with 1 sided radiant barrier facing the roof and hopefully having that inch of airspace.
4. Drywall right onto the foam board (non radiant side).
Any professionals or DIY's with info/suggestion or advice from problems with what I am proposing.
Thanks in advance!
Might want to start by taking a look in the Search area under insulation.
Insulating capes has been discussed hundreds of times on here.
Thanks for your reply but I have searched hundreds of threads already. If you read my post it states my location and if you know about insulation code then you should be aware that there is no possible way of bringing a 1936 cape to 2013 insulation code/standards when you have less than 6 inches of space between roof and drywall. I'm not interested in losing 6-10 inches of wall space to add more depth. Looking for best budget plan with what I have to work with.
Yes I am aware that I can achieve somewhat near code with 6 inches of closed cell foam but as I stated, I'm on a budget.
I asked a specific question about thoughts on my idea of a trifecta approach in using 3 types of relatively cheap materials. Radiant barrier wrap, fiberglass, foam board with 1 side radiant.
Anyone who wants to discuss my idea or has a better one please feel free to chime in.
Thanks in advance.
There a couple of ways to go. 1. as you said SPF,
2. Foamboard the whole thickness to get close to what your location requires, no air space;need to ventilate the side/top attics though. Link below...
3. leave an air space above the f.b.; http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...n-roof-venting needs to be thiock enough next to the sheathing to prevent condensation, near the map...
4. the radiant needs a bigger air space than 1" to be effective, and they are not very good in a heating climate compared to a cooling one.

Introduction | Paris | New York | Figuration to Fracture | Return to the Human Figure | Images
Max Weber (1881 - 1961) was among the first artists to carry the modernist revolution to the United States. In 1905 he ventured to Paris, where he studied with Henri Matisse (1869 - 1954) and witnessed the development of the fauve and cubist styles. Upon returning to America in 1909, he forged a personal vision from these vocabularies as well as elements of the art of Aztec, Mayan, Egyptian, Greek, Oceanic, and northern Pacific cultures. Weber became one of the first American artists to apply these diverse approaches to printmaking, frequently using color at a time when black-and-white prints were ubiquitous in American art.
Born in the western Russian (now Polish) town of Bialystok, a center for textile production, Weber recounted that his earliest memory was of his grandfather mixing colorful fabric dyes, which instilled in him a love of bold color and form. At age ten Weber emigrated to Brooklyn, New York, and seven years later entered Pratt Institute, where Arthur Wesley Dow (1857 - 1922) was his mentor. An influential teacher, Dow (who had studied with Paul Gauguin [1848 - 1903]), championed the use of flat masses of color and a vibrant line as found in Japanese prints. After graduating, Weber taught in schools in Virginia and Minnesota, which financed a three-year stay abroad.

EFT Adelaide South Australia
Hi, my name is Wal and I am an EFT Practitioner here at EFT Adelaide SA.
I can help you to deal with a wide range of issues. See here for hundreds of things I can assist with.
I work very fast and my work is very comprehensive.
EFT? – What's In It For You?
People often first come to me to help with their major issue but return again and again for the following reasons:-
- Decision making – removing inner conflicts with EFT to reveal what the inner self advises. If you are looking for a mastermind resource, this is ideal.
- Relationship issues – are you tired of people taking advantage of you or pushing your buttons? Use EFT to empower your life and create better relationships with family, friends, at work, etc.
- Heal the energy meridian system – People who choose this option usually report feeling a sense of joy, "joie de vivre", afterwards. As an extension to this we can also uplift the organs that are fed by the meridians. People usually report a greater sense of well being from this.
- Purify and protect your energy – have you ever heard people say "There's something about that person that makes me feel uneasy"? I have never encountered anyone whose energy is pure prior to an energy purification session with me, but some people have purer energy than others. You can have a more positive and beneficial and uplifting effect on others by purifying your energy.
On a personal note, I really love when people ask me to help them to purify their energy. Being sensitive to energy, it is like a delightful breath of fresh air to be sitting opposite someone whose energy is pure and I especially look forward to their sessions. Be advised, however, most people have thousands of impurities in each of their energy meridians and it can take considerable time to clear them all.
About Emotional Freedom Techniques – EFT
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT or EFT Tapping) is the new, powerful method of personal transformation that more and more health professionals around the world are using. EFT can help with hundreds of issues. EFT often works when all else has failed.

DRIVING MISS DAISY Talk-back Concludes With The Help 2/23
Driving Miss Daisy's successful February talkback series concludes tomorrow night (Wednesday, 2/23), when Kathryn Stockett, bestselling author of The Help, and Columbia professor Jonathan Schorsch take the stage at the Golden Theatre (252 West 45 Street) for a post-performance discussion immediately following the evening performance. CBS News correspondent Michelle Miller will moderate the conversation.
This special series, which helps celebrate Black History Month with Wednesday night talkbacks, has already welcomed former NYC Mayor David Dinkins, current Deputy Mayor Dennis Walcott, New Orleans Mayor Marc Morial, former U.S. congressman Harold Ford Jr., and many more.
The current smash hit revival of Driving Miss Daisy is now playing at the Golden Theatre, where it opened to rave reviews on October 25, 2010 and has been extended through Saturday, April 9, 2011.
Uhry's classic play is a timeless, searing, funny, and ultimately hopeful meditation on race relations in America, told through the complex relationship between two of popular culture's most enduring characters. When Daisy Werthan (Redgrave), a widowed, 72-year-old Jewish woman living in midcentury Atlanta, is deemed too old to drive, her son, Boolie (Gaines), hires Hoke Coleburn (Jones), an African American man, to serve as her chauffeur. What begins as a troubled and hostile pairing, soon blossoms into a profound, life-altering friendship that transcends all the societal boundaries placed between them. From its landmark Off-Broadway production in 1987 to the remarkable success of the Oscar-winning film version (4 Academy Awards, including Best Picture), Driving Miss Daisy has become one of the most beloved American stories of the late twentieth century.
The creative team of Driving Miss Daisy includes John Lee Beatty (Scenic Design), Jane Greenwood (Costume Design), Peter Kaczorowski (Lighting Design), Wendall K. Harrington (Projection Design), Christopher Cronin (Sound Design) and Mark Bennett (Music).
Driving Miss Daisy is produced on Broadway by Jed Bernstein, Adam Zotovich, Elizabeth Ireland McCann, Roger Berlind, Beth Kloiber, Albert Nocciolino, Jon Platt, StylesFour Productions, Ruth Hendel/Shawn Emamjomeh, Larry Hirschhorn/Spring Sirkin, Carl Moellenberg/Wendy Federman, Daryl Roth/Jane Bergére, in association with Michael Filerman.
Driving Miss Daisy plays Tuesday at 7:00 p.m., Wednesday - Saturday at 8:00 p.m., with matinees on Wednesday and Saturday at 2:00 p.m. Tickets ($66.50 - $131.50) are on sale via Telecharge.com and at the box office of the Golden Theatre. Student tickets (one ticket per ID, subject to availability) are available for day-of purchase at the box office for $26.50.

Seriously short of women and whiter than the weakest latte, the coalition's high command has one unexpected claim to diversity. The Cameron-Clegg cabinet is the most northern for years, possibly ever, and Westminster is alive with talk of a Yorkshire mafia.
The foreign secretary, William Hague, whose flat vowels keep alive the memory if not the politics of Huddersfield's Harold Wilson, has a rival in Lady Warsi. She loyally mentioned Dewsbury, millworkers and the Broad Acres in her first comments after appointment to the cabinet as minister without portfolio and co-chair of the Conservative party.
Linguistically, both chime with Eric Pickles, communities and local government secretary, who is as Bradford-to-the-bone as JB Priestley. Nick Clegg is famous, or notorious, for mentioning his adopted city of Sheffield at every opportunity, while David Cameron, although superficially Cotswold Man, has his own Sheffield connection. His wife, Samantha, is the daughter of Sir Reginald Sheffield, whose Thealby Hall is – just, to the annoyance of loyal Lincolnshire yellowbellies – in the government region of Yorkshire and the Humber.
The Camerons often stay there, a hop, skip and the Humber bridge away from the Haltemprice and Howden seat of David Davis (influential if not in cabinet). Doubtless his pram passed the playground where the coalition's economic superstar Vince Cable was larking as a five-year-old. Cable went to Nunthorpe grammar and returned to fight York for the Liberal/SDP Alliance in 1983 and 1987 before unseating Toby Jessel in Twickenham in 1997.
One of his right arms in the battle against recession is Justine Greening, economic secretary to the Treasury, who was born and bred in Rotherham. Her father was a steel industry manager and she grew up during Margaret Thatcher's struggle with Arthur Scargill. Hague, although now MP for lush Richmond in North Yorkshire, comes from Wath-on-Dearne, just a few miles away, and went to the comprehensive there.
There are other white roses in the junior ranks, and the coalition also rests on a sound election performance in Yorkshire. The 6.6% swing from Labour was well up on the national 5% and the only loss was internal to the pact, Harrogate switching from Lib Dem to Tory.
That was compensated for by the Lib Dems taking Bradford East from Labour, along with Redcar if you reckon Yorkshire on its historic boundaries as Yorkshire people would. The West Riding's bellwether seats such as Keighley, Calder Valley and Dewsbury (where Warsi's parents arrived to work in the shoddy mills in the 1950s) meanwhile went from red to blue.
The change from past Tory days, when Margaret Thatcher and John Major visited Yorkshire less frequently than the Queen, has been noted in the county, but greeted with characteristic caution.
The Yorkshire Society is still waiting to hear whether Labour's post of a minister for Yorkshire will survive, and if Yorkshire Forward, the regional development agency, has been saved by the Lib Dems from the Tories' axe.
"We are on the map, but then we were before," said membership secretary Rod Scholes, taking pains to avoid any bias on behalf of the non-political society.
The opposition will be every bit as good at singing Ilkla Moor Baht 'At. Alan Johnson, Ed Miliband, Yvette Cooper and her husband Ed Balls are all Yorkshire MPs, and David Miliband would be just audible from South Shields, even further north.

At the close, the FTSE Small Cap index was 10.0 points lower at 2,636.0, its lowest level for the session, and well below the day's peak at 2,644.0.
Among the spartan small cap highlights, Weatherly was one of the biggest fallers today, losing more than 41% of its market value after the financial services firm warned that its principal operating subsidiary, Weatherly Securities, has become the subject of a series of 'substantial' arbitration demands from customers asserting compensatory and punitive damage claims. Weatherly shares shed 0.35% to 0.5p.
British Polythene Industries tumbled in late afternoon trade after the group said it may incur penalties from the European Commission and the OFT for infringing competition law. The group said it is impossible to quantify how heavy these fines may be and, given the Commission's heavy workload, it thinks a final figure will not be known before 2003. The fines could be substantial as the EU can impose a fine of up to 10% of annual turnover and the OFT can impose a fine of up to three times 10% annual turnover, said John Cook, a partner at Norton Rose solicitors.
British Polythene shares shed 36 1/2p at 295p, a fall of 11% in value.
On the upside, IDS Group was a positive small cap feature, lifted by news that it is now consistently operating profitably, major exceptional expenditure is at an end and it expects results for the year to Dec 31, 2001 to be in line with market expectations.
However, IDS also warned that overall conditions in its markets remain difficult and it is too early for to predict when they are likely to improve during 2002. The shares rose 16 1/2p to 65p.
Shares in Clubhaus took on 1/2p at 3 1/4p - a rise of 18% in value - after a report in the Financial Times suggested that Paul Davidson, a former pipe-fitter who has made millions from his engineering invent ions, has offered £65m for the company's assets. Yesterday Clubhaus revealed that Davidson was interested in 4.05m ordinary shares in the golf courses' firm, representing 3.93% of the group.
Genetix also saw good demand today, adding 6p at 73 1/2 in response to news of the licensing agreement with Biomedical Photometrics of Canada.
Elsewhere on the upside, vehicle leasing firm Northgate rose 27 1/2p to 517 1/2p after posting a 16% upturn in half year profits, adding that current trading is in line with its own forecasts.
Nightclubs operator Po Na Na saw its shares dip a penny to 100 1/2p after the release of its Christmas and New Year trading statement pointing to 'in line' sales for the five weeks to Jan 6, 2002.
Like-for-like sales in the period were up by 3.1% and included 'very positive' trading from the group's site at Hammersmith, Po Na Na said. However, earnings estimates for the full year to March 2002 are likely to be maintained at around £4m. In response, WestLB Panmure this morning reiterated its 'buy' stance on the shares with a price target of 133p.
At the official close, internet firm Advfn.com announced that two of its founders, managing director Michael Boydell and commercial director Martin Talks, have stepped down. The group said Clement Chambers, another member of the founding management, has been appointed Advfn's new managing director.
At the same time, the firm announced the £200,000 placing to Clement Chambers of 6.154m new ordinary shares in the firm at 3.25p. The group said the placing increases Chamber's holding in the company to 6.254m shares, representing 2.09% of the company's enlarged share capital. The shares eased 1/4p to finish at 3 1/4p.

In 1953, EZ Loader Boat Trailers began operations in Spokane WA. At that time, the marine industry was beginning to gain momentum and fiberglass boats were just starting to be manufactured and gain popularity. Along with this trend the business grew. EZ Loader has always put innovation into their designs, and patented the first all roller trailer in 1964. Since that time EZ Loader has been awarded numerous patents and awards for design and function.
By the 1980's, boat manufacturers wanted to be able to offer their customers a complete boat package, which included a boat and a trailer in complimentary colors. At this point, EZ Loader Boat Trailers purchased TI Trailers in Midway AR, which manufactured custom welded, painted trailers. Thus EZ Loader Custom Boat Trailers began as a subsidiary of EZ Loader Boat Trailers. Another subsidiary, EZ Loader Adjustable Sales Corporation, manufactures adjustable trailers. Currently, EZ Loader has four manufacturing facilities with twelve US distribution centers. EZ Loader Custom Boat Trailers are sold in the US and Canada. EZ Loader Adjustable Boat Trailers are sold globally.
Custom trailers are fit specific and color matched to a boat. These trailers come standard with many features with upgrade packages available. EZ Loader only sells trailers through it's dealer network.

Last week I attended an online presentation from Learning Times that focused on digital badges for learning and professional enhancement. The session, Badge-based Learning and 21st Century Skills [recording], described "a digital badge ecosystem" that aims to help all kinds of learners capitalize on "living in an age of opportunity for learning, specialization and innovation like none ever seen before." Presenter Jonathan Finkelstein, founder of Learning Times and Director of the BadgeStack project, noted that, "not everything needs to add up to a final grade anymore." Digital badges can be helpful as we:
- Engage in career development and job search activities. LinkedIn, for example, was described as "a canvas looking for digital badges." Consider how we might visually present our career achievements in badge-form to demonstrate what we've accomplished and experienced, and present our qualifications to potential employers.
- Participate in learning communities. The process of earning badges can encourage participation, relationship building, and exploration of community-based resources, especially when structured around a game that features levels, and points earned for completing activities.
- Continue to learn in formal and informal ways. Displaying digital badges in our online profiles can help to convey our interests and initiative as lifelong learners to our peers in learning communities and instructors in courses.
BadgeStack is one of the latest platforms available to help us track learning that takes place both in and out of the traditional classroom. As mentioned in the session, badges can recognize different kinds of achievement from basic participation to advanced skill mastery and ongoing professional development. This project has emerged out of the HASTAC MacArthur Foundation Digital Badge Competition and the Mozilla Open Badges project.
Digital badges can be developed by a wide range of organizations and can have specific qualities, such as expiration dates. The possibilities seem endless and this creates some big challenges moving forward, such as establishing standards of learning assessment, validating the badge-earning process, and maintaining badge systems.
Earning My First Digital Badges
The Learning Times presentation was a pre-session of the Technology, Colleges, and Community (TCC) Online Conference taking place this week, April 17 through 19. I have attended this conference in the past and will be there again this year. One of the new features for 2012 is that all participants have the opportunity to earn conference related badges. Networking is one of the benefits of attending a professional conference, but it can be difficult to connect with other attendees in a virtual environment. The use of badges is a way to encourage community and relationship building through:
- Recognition of our participation during this virtual event on various levels and in multiple conference roles, such as participant, presenter, volunteer, and student ambassador.
- Encouragement to explore the conference experience through not only the scheduled sessions, but also online discussion forums, blog posts, social media, and resource sharing.
- Incentives to engage with other conference participants in the online community spaces and through nomination of others for badges that recognize excellence in visual design, research, critical thinking, innovative ideas, and more.
The BadgeStack platform is Mozilla Open Badge Infrastructure (OBI) compliant, and TCC is the first conference with OBI badges, so participants can maintain earned badges in their own badge accounts, extending the experience beyond this event. So far I've received "Participant" and "Presenter" badges, and am exploring some of the proposed conference "quests." As I earn digital badges at future events I can add them to my badge backpack. (For more information about how the systems work together, check out the BadgeStack architecture and connection to open source ecosystem diagram.)
BadgeStack in Action
In addition to the TCC Online Conference you can find BadgeStack in use by a range of organizations and education institutions. Take a look at examples from the New York City Department of Education's DIG/IT program focused on college and life planning and digital literacy, and the Smithsonian Institution's online conference and nature badges.
Higher education badges are also a possibility with this platform. The University of Wisconsin-Stout's graduate course "Using Games for Learning and Assessment" recently deployed the system with students. The BadgeStack project hopes digital learning badges will work as a complement to formal learning opportunities (i.e. certificates, diplomas) not as a replacement.
More About Digital Badges…
Exploration of the value of digital badges for learning has just begun. Continue to follow the work being done by Learning Times, BadgeStack, and Mozilla Open Badges, as well as potential opportunities available for you to experiment with badge-based learning through your school, professional organizations, and other educational resources.
If you've had the opportunity to earn a digital learning badge, let us know more about it here! Would you recommend the experience to your peers?

EU partially lifts Libya sanctions
EU member states yesterday agreed to start lifting sanctions against Libya imposed in different batches earlier this year in the wake of the Gaddafi regime's reaction to the popular uprising.
In a decision taken in Brussels by "written procedure", the EU decided to unfreeze the assets of about 28 Libyan entities out of the more than 50 that were hit by sanctions.
The list of companies involved will only be unveiled today. According to the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Catherine Ashton, the decision affects six Libyan port authorities, a number of banks and oil companies.
"Our goal is to provide resources to the interim government and the Libyan people and the economy can function again," Lady Ashton said in her announcement. "The EU has acted swiftly in the light of the developments on the ground," she said.
An EU official specified that the delisted companies also included Libyan Arab Airlines. However, the official clarified that the assets of the Libyan Investment Authority and the Libyan Arab Foreign Investment Company Limited were still frozen as they were also covered by UN sanctions.
"We have to wait for a decision by the United Nations' Security Council prior to unfreezing the assets of Lia and Lafico", the official said. "At the moment there are no time frames. It may take days or a few weeks," he said.
Lafico, one of the main Libyan investment arms used by the Gaddafi regime, has a number of investments in Malta, including shareholding in the Corinthia Group, the hotels Vivaldi and Milano Due, air services company Medavia and switchgear assembly plant Medelec. Despite the government freezing a total of €377 million in Libyan assets since the start of the conflict, it is still business as usual for these Maltese companies as they were only impeded from passing-on any dividends to their Libyan shareholders without disrupting their day-to-day business.
Malta has also frozen about €86 million directly attributed to members of Muammar Gaddafi's family.

Developing iPhone apps on a Toshiba Protege m200 laptop
I wanted to have a go at developing an iPhone app without having to go out and buy a Mac so I managed to setup a Hackintosh on my Toshiba Protege m200. Below is how to do it. Having set everything up I found when rebooting for the 2nd time that I lost network conectivity so it's best to download all your apps like Firefox after you've installed the iPhone SDK and before you shutdown or restart the computer. I got most of this information from this forum post. I haven't been able to get an application working on an iPhone so I think this setup is only useful when targetting the simulator.
1. Download Kalyway 10.5.2 from a torrant site and burn it onto a DVD
2. Create an unformatted 35GB partition on your hard disk using administration tools in control panel.
3. Plug in an ethernet cable, WiFi requires an extra driver download and only works with unencrypted networks.
4. Boot from the Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD, press F2 to boot from the external DVD drive.
5. Once the DVD has loaded select Disk Utility from the menu at the top and format your MacOS parition MacOS Extended (Journaled) option
6. Quit from Disk Utility and continue the installation process
7. Click on the Customise button and use the following options:
Additional Fonts (leave unchcked)
Language Translation (uncheck)
kernel_9.2_speedstep (check)
NVinjectGO (check)
NVIDA_AC97_Audio (check)
Network_drivers (uncheck all)
Mobo_Chipsets (leave defaults)
Thirds_Applications (leave defaults, install what you want)
SSE2_Jas1048_ACPI_APIC (check)
Patches (leave defaults but uncheck Francais_pc_keyboard_layout)
8. After installation and when it starts booting Darwin press space and then type:
fsck -fy
mount -uw /
9. Type yes to all except the "NVinject_Natit_ATYinject" driver, in which you type no
10. Then type:
pico /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist
11. Underneath <key>Kernel Flags </key> change <string> </string> to
<string>"Graphics Mode"="1400x1050x32″</string>
12. press CTRL+x to exit and y to save
13. Type: exit
14. At registration screen press ALT+q and then press the skip button
15. At this stage you can trick MacOS into thinking it's version 10.5.3 or install the upgrade. With the "trick" you can't compile iPhone apps for the device but you can for the simulator. With the upgrade the LCD monitor will stop working and you will have to plug in an external monitor before you boot into MacOS. While it should be possible to compile and deploy onto a jailbroken iPhone with these instructions without a developer's certificate, the apps I compiled wouldn't run on the iPhone. I'm not 100% sure but I'm guessing it might have to do with the fragile state of the hackintosh. You will have to get a real mac at some stage anyway if you want to publish the app in the app store since the developer's certificate requires real Apple hardware.
"Trick" Update:
Open the terminal program (Applications > Utilities > Terminal) and type:
sudo -s
pico /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist
and change the 2 instances of 10.5.2 to 10.5.3
press CTRL+x to exit and y to save
Real Update:
Find Kalyway 10.5.3 combo update on a torrent site.
Install Kalyway UpdCombo 10.5.3.pkg but don't press Restart.
Install Kalyway 10.5.3 Kernel.pkg but don't select any kernels.
Restart and plug in an external monitor.
At reboot type: update -v
16. Download the iPhone SDK and install it.
17. If you are getting kernel panic boot the computer in windows, hibernate or shutdown and
then boot up in MacOS – you will have to do this each time. Also after kernel panic you will lose
network connectivity so you will have to use a thumbdrive to transfer downloaded files. You might need to change the resolution on the external monitor by going to System Preferences on the dock and then Monitor. It supports my widescreen 1680×1050 monitor, though in Windows it doesn't.
