Random Celeb At Fashion Week Alert!
Every season there are those celebrity appearances that just have us wondering, Why? While it goes without saying that the runway show for Rosa Cha would draw a few boys and men to the tents, given the skinny-mini Brazilian-cut bikinis that the brand is so well known for, an appearance by Sean Paul was one that even celebrity followers were surprised by. But like a true sport, he took pictures with fans while waiting to greet designer Alexander Herchcovitz and seemed appreciative of the designs that were sent down the runway. Do we have a new Kanye West on our hands?

welcome to iceland
journeying to iceland is something everyone should do at least once in their lifetimes if nature and a love for geology are things close to your hearts.
the country is a wonderland for geology enthusiasts and nature lovers. scenic breath-taking landscapes are minutes away from the capital, reykjavik and adventure tours are available for people of all sizes, shapes and frames on most days of the year except on bad weather days and to most icelanders already used to living in an unfriendly climate, those days are few and far between seeing how most locals consider what foreigners think is bad weather as normal days.
so now that we've briefly covered what iceland is, let's get to what it is not.
it's definitely not a country of shopping malls, designer brands or nauseating traffic jams. if you're looking for mcdonald's or starbucks to ease your way here, forget it.
instead enjoy fare from local cafes and hot snack stands, the almost empty roads of reykjavik, winter wear shopping at 66north, iceland's biggest winter wear brand and the dark humour of the icelandic people. trust me, everyone has at least one joke to make you smile or burst out laughing.
and just like the unexpected jokes of the icelanders, the country is full of surprises.
every 5 minutes, landscapes change dramatically as glaciers give way to endless lava fields and deserts or black-coasted beaches. the weather is also as fickle and temperamental as a woman with severe PMS.
on our journey in early winter alone, we experienced sunshine, gale winds, showers and a sudden snow storm all in the space of 10 days! that's a weather feat I have never experienced in all my life, unless you consider new zealand in early spring, another volcanic beauty of a country that rains and shines every 5 minutes.
so that's iceland for you in a nutshell, no, wait a minute....that should read, in a crater.
now just put on your gloves, coats and hiking boots and explore the country with me in this blog.

The Pilbara has been lashed by winds of up to 140km/h and torrential rain as Tropical Cyclone Heidi crossed the coast this morning.
The category 2 cyclone crossed the Pilbara coast to the east of Port Hedland about 4.30am, and is now 80 kilometres south of Port Hedland and is moving south-southwest at 13km/h.
The cyclone was downgraded to category 1 at 11am, but a red alert is still in place for coastal areas from Pardoo to Whim Creek, including Port Hedland and South Hedland, where residents have been told to remain indoors.
However, the warning from Dampier to Whim Creek, including Roebourne, Pt Samson and Karratha, has been cancelled.
While the worst of the cyclone has passed, residents are now bracing for flooding.
FESA warned there is a possible threat to lives and homes due to rising water levels in local rivers and streams.
Communities between Port Hedland and Karratha are being urged to take action as minor flooding is expected today.
Port Hedland mayor Kelly Howlett said that although the intensity of the wind was lessening, the area was now being affected by lots of rain.
"Some people have had flooding in their roofs, and electrical faults," she said.
"There are about 2000 houses without power at the moment and lots of trees have fallen down too."
Ms Howlett said the category 2 cyclone was not as disastrous as Cyclone George in 2007, which was a category 5 cyclone that caused destructive damage and claimed three lives.
"There was still a significant amount of noise though for a category 2 cyclone but everyone was well prepared for it," she said.
Ms Howlett said she expected the red alert to remain in place until midday when the full extent of the damage would be properly assessed.
Residents in lockdown
Port Hedland residents have told how their homes were battered by strong winds as Heidi hit the town early this morning.
Em Taylor, 24, who lives with her boyfriend in a donga on a mine camp site near Port Hedland, said she thought the building was going to tip over.
"The walls were shaking, and we could feel the wind underneath. We've heard horror stories about them flying everywhere, but it was pretty secure," she said.
While it would be several hours before they could go outside to assess the damage, Ms Taylor said she could see a tree had already fallen on her car.
"The yard's a mess, it looks like the pergola is gone, and it's still raining heaps," she said.
"It's my first cyclone, and I was quite excited in a weird kind of way, but not so much anymore. Next time we'll be staying at someone else's house, and not in the donga."
Port Hedland Mayor Kelly Howlett urged residents to stay indoors until the all-clear was given.
"We're certainly feeling the full brunt of Cyclone Heidi as she crosses the coast," she told the Nine Network.
"She's certainly packing a little punch at the moment. We've certainly got the wind gusts of a about 140km/h and very heavy rain."
Heidi started making landfall around 4.30am today.
'I'd hate to go through a five'
Port Hedland Caravan Park assistant manager Maria, who did not want her surname published, said she and other tenants at the park had experienced a sleepless night as Heidi bore down on the town.
"It's absolutely pouring down, and really, really windy. We've got a full house here, all our caravans are full so a lot of people chose to go to shelters," she said.
"My windows are being battered by rain, and there's a lot of debris lying around and surface flooding."
The cyclone was the first Maria had experienced.
"People are telling me (category) two is nothing, but when it's your first time two is huge as far as I'm concerned. I'd hate to go through a five."
People who spent last night at an emergency welfare centre in South Hedland were relocated to a new facility this morning because of storm damage.
Forty four people were registered at an emergency welfare centre at South Hedland's J.D Hardie Centre last night, managed by the Department for Child Protection.
The department's acting director general Kay Benham said those who registered were provided with food, care and a place to sleep.
"Due to water damage, however, most of those at the J.D Hardie Centre were relocated this morning to the Port Hedland Civic Centre in McGregor Street where they will remain until the 'all clear' is given," Ms Benham said.
"Once red alert has been called off, people will be allowed to start making arrangements to return home."
"Those who are unable to do so, such as stranded travellers or people whose home has been damaged, will be given support for alternative options."
Port Hedland Airport recorded 108mm in the 24 hours to 9am today. The bureau said significant stream rises with minor flooding is expected in the Yule River and Turner River catchments today.
Threat not over
Communities between Pardoo and Whim Creek have all been ordered to shelter while those further inland were told to gather up emergency supplies and brace for Heidi's wrath.
The Bureau of Meteorology said winds of up to 120 km/h had been whipping along the coast overnight, with destructive gusts of up to 150 km/h possible.
Up to 250 millimetres of rain was possible across central and eastern parts of the Pilbara, the Bureau said.
A dangerous storm tide was also predicted for coastal areas.
Port Hedland's airport and bulk export port had shut down due to the weather system.
Mining firms across the region have sent all non-essential workers home, and families were battening down the hatches.

'Risk' Is A Four-Letter Word
I'm happy to see my post on big philanthropy mentioned in Social Velocity's August top 10 picks for what's worth reading in the world of social innovation.
But Derrick Feldmann, CEO of fundraising consultancy Achieve, articulates the problem of risk-aversion in philanthropy more eloquently than I can. Playing it safe with philanthropic investment isn't all bad and can yield benefit, but it also discourages innovation and decreases the likelihood of discovering solutions and more efficient approaches to complex social and environmental problems.
Feldmann suggests four ways philanthropy can embrace more risk:
• Adopt the entrepreneurial spirit of leading philanthropists, e.g. Carnegie, Gates, et al.
• Set aside funds for riskier ventures
• Ask new questions during the proposal and due-diligence stage
• Foster an environment and community of learning among grantees and funders
Most nonprofits are already plagued by a starvation cycle that prevents them from creating effective organizational structures and cultivating human capital, so while nonprofit leadership could better articulate the need for risk-taking and patient philanthropic investment, donors and funders must take the lead.

It needs to provide a way to use MEM I/O before NAPI > would start to be of use to him. I don't really want to sound like defending the 3c59x driver, but... The 3c90x driver released by 3Com uses some mechanism "similar" to NAPI which is based on the on-board timer; these timer interrupts are scheduled dynamically. With this driver I would typically get TCP bandwidth figures 4-5 Mbps lower than those obtained with 3c59x and noticable difference in the parallel jobs timing (using MPI over TCP). I'm not saying that NAPI will perform the same way, just that there might be also hardware limits somewhere... But the real question is: does it make sense to spend time now in trying to improve a driver with hope for only a marginal speed increase ? After using these cards and the 3c59x driver with very good results for the past 4 years, I'm looking for GigE replacements. Shouldn't anybody concerned with performance do the same ? Does it make sense to pair a very fast CPU and memory with a 33MHz-32bit PCI bus ? And another important question: how much improvement can be gained from the driver ? Folks that do parallel computation over TCP over Ethernet know very well that the software in the kernel is the bottleneck (extra copies, TCP, IRQ management, etc). Packages that throw away TCP and use another communication protocol can typically achieve much better ping-pong times (they do have some other problems though) which shows that the hardware and NIC driver are capable enough. So until I see a profile showing that the CPU is spending most of the time in the driver, I won't be convinced that these changes are needed.... -- Bogdan Costescu IWR - Interdisziplinaeres Zentrum fuer Wissenschaftliches Rechnen Universitaet Heidelberg, INF 368, D-69120 Heidelberg, GERMANY Telephone: +49 6221 54 8869, Telefax: +49 6221 54 8868 E-mail: Bogdan.Costescu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Grant writing is often the lifeblood that connects 501c(3) nonprofit organizations to funding sources with a history of funding the community needed programs you offer. Grant writing is specialized, confusing, and most certainly a humbling experience. Don't worry! I will assist you in your efforts to identify grant opportunities that match you daily activities and mission. Together, we'll develop a case for funding your awesome programs and services based upon your community needs, experience, budget, goals, and measured outcomes to evaluate the progress of your programs. It's very important to me that you're comfortable with your funding choices as well as having a firm understanding of each phase within the grants process. I don't work on for-profit proposals-ONLY nonprofit. Please contact me with any questions. Let's turn your ideas-into action! Thank you!

Has anyone dealt with Credo Mobile, the self proclaimed progessive phone company?
In an e-mail entitled "An e-mail Verizon doesn't want you to open":
Make the switch: Call 877-346-0516 and mention offer code 315407 Need to unsubscribe?
Self-proclaimed crazy Tea Party freshman Rep. Joe Walsh said he came to Washington ready to go to war and defended the infamous Congressional hearing on birth control regulations that had only male witnesses by saying, This is not about women. He also earned the dubious honor of a 100% lifetime rating from the Koch brothers Americans for Prosperity. So why did Verizon Wireless contribute money to him?
And why did they contribute to Rep. Steve King, a founding member of the Tea Party Caucus who called shamed Sen. Joe McCarthy a great American hero and said hed support a modern version of McCarthys House Un-American Activities Committee?
Sadly, these arent isolated examples of questionable contributions. Verizon has given $130,600 to members of the House and Senate Tea Party Caucuses since 2009, while AT&T contributed a whopping $849,000.
At CREDO Mobile, we don't fund Tea Party politicians we fight them. In fact, weve set up the CREDO SuperPAC to defeat ten of the most extreme Tea Party-affiliated House members this November through good old-fashioned grassroots organizing.
We are and always have been about phone-powered progressive change. We've raised more than $70 million for progressive nonprofits. And we fight the right wing with an activist network nearly 3 million strong.
End e-mail---------
It seems like a good deal and a good company, or at least better than Verizon. I'm ashamed to say that I use Verizon.
I haven't had a new phone in many years. I'm amazed the one I have still works.

4. Yes you can
They use Sprint's network and the coverage we got was excellent, throughout the US. The only reason we switched from them (after being with them for about 7 years) was they were slow to get with the program on Smartphones and I wanted a decent Android phone. They have much better offerings now in that department and we may well go back to them when our contract with Verizon is up.
BTW the customer service with them was always terrific. Call centers in the US and they were helpful to a fault.

11. They have contract buy-outs,
so you wouldn't even have to wait until your Verizon contract expires.

6. I worked for them back in the early 90's
out of their home office in downtown San Francisco. At the time, they were known as Working Assets, and the products they offered were a credit card, and commercial and residential long distance services .
They donate a portion of their profits each year to progressive non-profits, from a list of organizations nominated and ranked by their customer base.
Their call center was unionized (CWA), they actively pursued the hiring and promotion of LGBT, female, and minority employees, and they treated their employees like gold. I had a child while employed there, and the company donated hundreds of dollars in cash and gifts (mostly children's clothes Hanna Andersson's, very nice!). I only stopped working for them because we had to leave the state for family reasons.
They are the very real deal -a great company of very great people.

7. They're certainly not a bargain. I've been looking for months now and I keep running up
against the same thing, too much $ for too little service.

9. I've been with them since December and I'm totally satisfied..........
They are a little bit more expensive than AT&T, who I had before, but not that much. And the phones are better.

10. My MIL had them for her cell phone and yes, they are a good company. But their rates
are not competitive with say, Virgin Mobile. Maybe as they grow, they will be better able to provide better deals.
They definitely are progressive though so I would love to see them be able to offer better rates.

The produce delivered by Garden Grocer was top notch!
Great service all around, will recomend to friends and family going to Florida and will use next time we are in Florida
In a day where companies thrive on half-butt services, it was refreshing to find a company that takes customer service and quality so seriously. I will no doubt make orders thru Garden Grocer in the future when we go to Florida. The prices are above many retail stores BUT it was worth the slight increase for the piece of mind and customer service received from the initial order call to the delivery call. I would believe it if this companies slogan was "Satisfaction Guaranteed!".

Wallace On Death Row - Poem by John Silkstone
There's a famous place called Blackpool
That's noted for fresh air and fun
However I'm waiting on death row
For I'm to be shot with a gun.
A Lancashire lad called Albert
Stuck a walking stick into my ear,
I asked him politely to stop it
And go for a walk on the pier.
But Albert being a Ramsbottom
He took no notice of me
Still poking me deep in the ear
Saying, "Oi, I'm talking to thee."
I will not let him annoy me
For I'm starting my yoga trance,
I'm oh so calm with my karma
I know that he hasn't a chance.
Now the wife, she's getting angry
And building up quite a rage.
Reaching out with her claws
She drags Albert into her cage.
Now that my yoga is over
I'm back in my cage all-alone,
I open my eyes and I'm shocked,
To see a blooded cap and a bone.
I got the blame for eating Albert
Though the wife she cooked up the plan
I know, I couldn't have ate Albert
For I'm a vegetarian.

Note from racketboy: Special thanks goes to Scooter for putting this guide together! The RetroGaming 101 series is aimed at gamers who are just starting out in the classic gaming scene or are curious about an older console that they don't know much about yet.
After Sega established a strong lead in the console market in the early 1990's, the company saw the possibilities that the new CD-ROM format could bring to gaming. Sega produced the Sega CD add-on for the Genesis to bring the technology to the many Genesis owners around the world without requiring them to invest in a completely new system. Unfortunately, they did not completely follow through with their vision. Even though it was not a commercial success, that does not mean that a Sega CD isn't worth picking up for a reasonable price to expand on one's classic Sega collection. The Sega CD is still an interesting piece of hardware and has some games that are still worth checking out.
Note: Sega's 16-bit wonder was titled the Mega Drive in all markets except North America where the name had previously been copyrighted and was thus named the Genesis in that market. For purposes of this article, the term Genesis will be used but should be noted that it is interchangeable with the name Mega Drive. Appropriately, the Sega CD was named the Mega CD outside North America and in this article the term Sega CD will be used but should be noted that it is interchangeable with the name Mega CD.
Historical Impact
- Sega CD was the first peripheral offered by Sega intended to expand the capabilities of and extend the life cycle of a basic gaming console (the Genesis).
- While the Sega CD was not the first unit to bring optical disc technology to a gaming environment, it was the most widely distributed unit in its day.
- The system attempted to fill the technology and release date gaps between a waning console (Genesis) and the next generation (Saturn). Sega hyped the add-on quite well to keep bleeding-edge gamers from switching sides.
- The shortcomings of the system (price, limited unique library) and the subsequent lack of success of the unit in the marketplace was the first major misstep by Sega in the hardware market. This and additional missteps led to some amount of consumer mistrust and played at least a part in the eventual exit of Sega from the hardware market.
- A number of Sega CD games were exclusive to the system and also sold in limited quantities making these games some of the most highly collectible games for the more mainstream retro console market.
- Sega CD provided full motion video (FMV) as a video game element to the masses. While not the first system to provide such a graphical interface, FMV was heavily pursued as the "wave of the future".
- Provided access to games otherwise relegated to a PC-only environment due to the increased data storage capacity of the CD media.
- More information on the Sega CD on Wikipedia
- The Sega CD expands the Genesis library (albeit, many games are available in both Genesis and Sega CD formats).
- The systems are fairly reliable and durable.
- The systems also function as a full featured audio CD player.
- Both main versions are compatible with all Genesis consoles released by Sega.
- The CD based media can provide lengthy and CD audio quality soundtracks, sound effects and voice to the game playing environment.
- When properly installed, the system mixes the Genesis, Sega CD, and if also installed, 32X audio into a single stereo output source. The stereo signal provided by the Sega CD unit is overall superior to the signal provided by the Genesis alone.
- Very simple and easy to use operating controls.
- The systems have built in game save memory (although the memory capacity is relatively small).
- The units are only moderately sought after, especially the Sega CD-2 and as such can typically be acquired at moderate cost.
- Exceptionally good system exclusive games justify the cost of acquiring and installing the system.
- The system never sold in large numbers even though it was widely distributed in all major markets. Finding complete boxed system can be difficult. This is especially true of the first version.
- Much of the software library for the add-on system is either rehashed pre-existing Genesis games with little to no additional features on the CD version of the game or shovelware. A good portion of the game library consists of FMV based games.
- Many games experience excessively long load times at the initial game load and inside the game, especially when loading upcoming video segments.
- North American game packaging is bulky and fragile.
- The system is bulky and will greatly increase either the vertical (version 1) or horizontal (version 2) space needed to house the unit when attached to a Genesis console.
- The systems are not compatible with the Genesis 3 distributed by Majesco.
- A number of region-specific games can provide an expanded library of games to those willing to address the technical requirements to make access to such games possible given their home television environment. For example, North American based units can have easy access to Japanese games with the use of a cartridge slot based unit such as the Game Genie, yet access to European based games can potentially require much more involved technical accommodations.
Playing Backups (Burned Discs)
- No modifications are needed to play burned discs on the Sega CD. CD burners were extremely expensive at the time of the Sega CDs release, so there is not any copy protection implemented.
- If you need turtorials for burning discs, please check out these guides for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux
- If you want to be able to rip your own CD games to files, here's a guide for Windows
- Emulators are available from a variety of sources such as PC, Xbox, and PSP
- For Windows PC, I recommend either KEGA fusion (see our guide here) or Gens
- Since the units sold were roughly 1 Sega CD for every 5 Genesis console sold, Sega CD consoles are not entirely common nor entirely rare. The initial popularity tends to carry over to today allowing the retro gamer to obtain a Sega CD relatively easily and relatively affordably. Functioning systems can be obtained for less than $50.
- Complete boxed systems can command higher prices, easily reaching into the $100-$125 range and higher, especially for the first version of the system which is somewhat less common than the second version.
- Some of the more uncommon configurations can be quite uncommon and command substantial prices often exceeding $200, much more for some of the even more rare configurations.
- Many of the more popular games can be obtained locally in larger cities with stores which cater to older games for $10 or less. Loose games without packaging can often be obtained for just a few dollars.
Hardware Variations
Sega CD Software
- Approximately 200 games were made for the Sega CD, yet a good portion of that library was also available in similar form as Genesis cartridge based games. Some Sega CD games include exclusive content, most often in the form of expanded cut scenes or an expanded soundtrack, yet seldom in actual game play enhancements or additional levels or actual game content.
- A handful of games were entirely exclusive to the Sega CD such as Heart of the Alien and Snatcher and a number of Working Designs RPGs and as such these games are highly desirable and can be expensive to obtain.
- A good portion of the Sega CD library also contains games based in part or in whole on Full Motion Video (FMV) which are live video clips that are used as the basis for the game play. Given the system's limited graphics ability the graphics are typically grainy and lacking color depth and game play itself is somewhat limited. Most FMV games have a quirky, "you either hate it or love it" feel to them.
- Genesis 32X CD – A total of five games were made which exploited both the Sega CD and the 32X hardware (since all three pieces of hardware are required to play these particular games). All five games are FMV games. The games do provide modestly improved color and video resolution, but the video quality is still quite low. None of the games were exclusive to the 32X CD format (all were available on the more accessible Sega CD format).
- Games That Defined The Sega CD – Unfortunately for those that had a Sega CD in its prime time, most of the best games for the console were not widely available or promoted much. While publishers were mainly promoting quick ports of popular Genesis titles with enhanced sound like NBA Jam and Full Motion Video games like Slam City with Scottie Pippin, there were actually a very nice collection of unique RPGs, shooter, and platformers that are still relevant to today's hardcore gamers. So, instead of focusing on what games defined the Sega CD when it was on store shelves, we highlight games that motivate retro gamers to actually pick up a Sega CD in this modern era.
- The Cheapest Sega CD Games Worth Your Time – If you want to build your Sega CD collection quickly on a budget, take a look at this guide to get your the values
- Memory Cartridges: Memory carts greatly expanded the memory capacity of the Sega CD unit. Some games are so memory intensive that they would entirely consume the Sega CD memory capacity requiring the gamer to either delete their game saves or obtain a memory cart to allow them to play and save other games. The memory carts were available from Sega and third party sources.
- Some Sega CD games were compatible with and even a few were packaged with a light gun. A number of such light gun capable games combined FMV with light gun use. The light guns required were also compatible with similar Genesis cartridge based games.
Hooking Up The Sega CD
- If you don't have the original Sega CD manual, check out these scans from the manual: Flickr Photset / PDF Download
- A MK1 Genesis to either Sega CD requires an audio mixing cable. It goes from the headphone jack on the Genesis to the Mixing input on the back of the CD. Output is (if you want stereo) audio from the CD from the CD's RCA jacks and the video from the Genesis.
- With a Mk2, no mixing cable is required, just get the audio from the CD and the video from the Genesis.
- The mixer cable isn't anything special. It's simply a mini-pin stereo cable, male plug on both ends. You could get something that would work at Radio Shack for a few bucks. The official Sega version has one of those noise reduder things molded into the cable, not sure how necessary it is.
- If so desired, all audio (mono) and video can be gotten out of the RF output on the Genesis.
- When the 32X is involved, there are no additional connections concerning the SCD, but the connections between the Genesis and 32X get more complicated.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I play Sega Genesis / Megadrive ROMs on the Sega CD via a CD-R? Nope. You would most likely need an emulator of some sort and that hasn't been developed. See here for more detail and discussion.
- Can I use a Model 1 Genesis with a Model 2 Sega CD or a Model 2 Genesis with a Model 1 Sega CD? You sure can. In fact, for the longest time, I personally used a Model 2 Genesis with a Model 1 SCD as that's the only SCD model my local Funcoland had.

Nice job guys! I was waiting for this article. It hits almost everything. It would be good to have a link on how to replace the back up battery, which in most model 2's, die. It's pretty simple to do, and neccessary to save. Even if you can find or afford the back-up genesis style cart, having the time and date pop up everytime is quite annoying.
Some into on digital press:
Sadly, I couldn't find anything with pictures.
Also, more info on emulating on MAC's and buring back ups would be great. I've asked around in the forums, but I've not found much info. I'm guessing it's either not an option(emulating or buring .bin/.cue roms)or maybe not done too often. Any other info would be great.
Thanks for this, I stopped buying Sega products after the Genesis. This will help me catch up now 🙂
Note that the bulk of the Snatcher CD images out there are in .mp3 format that can only be played on emulators. If you try to play it on an actual Sega CD it will work up to a point but you will be missing a lot of audio and it will lock up.
If you want to get a copy to work on the Sega CD you have to use the .cue sheet and instruction found on the Home of the Underdogs website. Basically you have to use Winamp to turn all the MP3s into .wav files.
It's a pain but I suppose a lot of people don't want to bother playing games on the actual system they came out on.
I personally think playing Snatcher on a console is a much better experience.
Oh and when you get older Sega CD systems from garage sales it's a good bet that the contacts between the Sega CD and Genesis will have corrosion.
Just use some contact cleaner or clean off the contact with a pink pencil eraser.
9 times out of 10 this is whats happening if someone thinks the system is "broke".
This seems to happen more when you have a model 1 genesis hooked up to a model 2 Sega CD.
Excellent article… AGAIN. Net time I can go to my local Flea Market, I'll keep an eye out for one. Too bad I can't buy one… I have about -$36!
RacketBoy, great job on the article. I have been on a Sega kick lately, working through some Genesis games I wish I'd played back then, and now I've got the chance. I had been very confused about Sega CD/Megadrive/Saturn, and this cleared it up quite a bit. I've been contemplating getting a 32x or a SegaCD for a few months now.
The pictures you posted were especially helpful. I really wish the Sega CDX model was more available, that one looks very awesome.
Great work with the site, look browsing articles of this nature.
Scooter, I would want to see verification in some fashion of the following:
"While the Sega CD was not the first unit to bring optical disc technology to a gaming environment, it was the most widely distributed unit in its day."
The PCE CD add-ons in Japan out-sold the Mega CD like mad. Unless the anemic US sales and EU sales made up for the difference the PCE CD variants likely collectively out-sold the Mega CD variants.
So is the Sega CD region locked?
As in, can I buy US games and play them on a PAL system? I'm assuming no.
Yes, the Sega CD is region locked to a point. It requires extensive modification to play a PAL game on an NTSC system. Japanese NTSC-J are easier, but you still need a few things.
Don't forget that lovely little fuse buried in the hardware that makes the system die when it blows. At least the sucker is cheap…
I picked up a combination Genesis MK-II and SegaCD MK-II for 40.00 bucks on eBay, because the guy didn't know how to fix that fuse (or that it existed, for that matter). He used the wrong power adapter for it.
Ah Sega CD, a pleasant memory!
i didn't even know they made a sega cd till i visited this site, but i do know that sega was the best when i was little. i use to love playing sonic the hedgehog on there.
i have never herd of the sega cd but it seems like a game i would get because i did like the sega
Mmmm the Sega CD…….
I'm just starting to get into Retro Gaming( thank's racketboy for the great site, even if it made me spend way to much money on classic games 😉 and bought myself a German Sega Mega Drive + Sega CD. I know that you can't use it to play NTSC games(without modding the console) but is there a region lock for other European countries like the UK, if not than SNATCHER for the Sega CD it is!!!
I recently got back into the sega/sega cd when my mom cleaned out her garage and told me to come over and pick up my stuff. I had forgotten that I even had a sega genesis, sega cd and sega 32X. The only bad part it seems is I can't find the rf unit and I'm missing the power brick for the sega cd. I've been looking online for these items and for some old sega cd games I missed the first time around and found that these items are booming. I'm trying to get these items on the cheap. Thanks for all the info. Love the site.
I just picked up a Sega CDX off Ebay. I forgot how much I really loved the Sega CD. I owned model 1 and 2 Genesis and Cd when they came out when I was young. By far the Sega CDX is the coolest of the three. Its small and portable and its both combined into one. I haven't stop playing it since I got it and i bought some games to. I hope someone will com out with an emulator so you can burn Genesis and Sega CD Roms to disk and play them on the Sega CD. That would be awesome.
1st thanks for the site info on sat and dreamcast has been very helpfull. Now i find my self with problems, got a mega cd top loader with mega drive II but no cables mega drive cables are easyly found (but about the same price as a new mwga drive)but the mega cd needs its own DC10v 1.2A power surply. I found one with the same stats and conections on a spare cable broadband rooter . i have pluged it in but no red light on the mega cd dose it come on without mega drive atached? and i heared about a fuse inside theat meay have blown i opened it up but cant see one . any help geting me goin or on where to get the rite power adapter please
stupid question you need the metal plate for the model 1 cd with the model 1 genesis?
I don't think the metal plates are a requirement. The just help keep things together in case you bump the console around.
how do keep the sega cd's format on system memory instead of cartridge for some reason when i reformat it goes back to cartridge please i just found mine in the atic and i decided to hook it up and that keeps hapening
"how do keep the sega cd's format on system memory instead of cartridge for some reason when i reformat it goes back to cartridge please i just found mine in the atic and i decided to hook it up and that keeps hapening"
If your Sega CD has been sitting unused for an extended period of time, you may need to recharge the Sega CD's internal battery.
Simply leave the Genesis/Sega CD combo turned on overnight.
After the internal battery has charged, format the internal backup RAM.
Plus, this article has missed another Sega CD system: the Pioneer CLD-A100 LaserActive LaserDisc player with the PAC-S10 Sega module.
Dies ist eine gro?artige Geschichte. Danke!
Hey, wondering where I can find the guide I've seen before on how to hookup a model 2 sega with sega cd and add on a 32x.
hey racketboy, question on burning sega cd games. on dcisozone the games come in many formats such as cdi nrg etc. I know how to burn dreamcast games as well. Was just wondering if the file has to be an iso or bin/cue, or can i burn cdi, nrg, etc and play that on my sega cd, or would they play on my dreamcast. Just wondering if you could clear this up for me, i appreciate the help
nevermind i figured it out…good website tho
Hi Racketboy, great article, question: where can i get the segacd model 1 manual??
I was planning to buy the Japanese Mega-CD 1 so I started to looking for information and came by your article, which, by the way, is awesome! Thanks for all the information, rackteboy! I haven't managed to find a Japanese Mega-CD 1 for sale, though. And now that I know its price is even higher than the Mega-CD 2 (USD 150 on average), I guess I wouldn't be able to buy one even if I found one for sale.
Anyway, I was wondering… That might be a silly question to ask, but I haven't found anything about this… How do you eject and close the disc tray? Is this done via software? I'm asking this because I can't find any eject button on the pictures I've seen.
And thanks once more for sharing great content! I've read your Dreamcast 101 article and it's awesome, too!

The PC Engine Super CDRom2/OR turboGraf CD,he dreamed about making titles of this caliber!!!…
I love the FMV game's by Mega CD/Sega CD,twenty years ago nothing like this had ever seen!
The Mega CD/Sega CD aroused so much envy, because he could create the FMV,end others could not, for obvious reasons hardware!
The Mega CD/Sega CD was and is truly a gem!
someone haded me a sega cd system wth the sega genisis games controlers and mouse and i have like no space anyone know where i can sell it
ya me ill take it
Yes Sebastian I agree with you the Mega CD / SegaCD is a legendary!
Look at all what it was capable of doing the MCD / SCD not only with the FMV but also with the ASIC chip to 3D Graphics!
Hey racketboy do you know if I can hook up a Sega Genesis to a brazilian Sega CD model 2? Is there region lock between systems? Like plugging a japanese Mega-Drive on an american Sega CD or a Mega-CD at a Genesis… you get the idea.
I'm actually not completely sure of those region combinations — it might be a better question for the forum — somebody in there may know.
I had a SegaCD soon after it came out. Within 6 months, it had dropped on the floor and stopped working. Someone tripped on the cord I think. So I missed out on the Sega CD for most of the life of the console. When I finally opened it up to see what was wrong, I found that the ribbon cable connecting the CD drive had detached! Once I fixed that and added the 32X, this became my tower of power. That thing is massive. By far my most impressive looking console. I have to admit that the 32X got more game time than the Sega CD. I think the only CD games I played were Silpheed and Sherlock Holmes, while 32X had all the sweet arcade ports and Shadow Squadron.
Also, remember the CD cases? Those things were awful. So unnecessarily large.
Well last week I found a genesis model 1 at a yard sale for $15, Im pretty happy with it, only problem is model 1 sega cds are hard to find, and 32xs are easy to find but most dont come with the cord that lets you use a model one genesis, I may end up buying a model 2 so I can use those addons
Recently I played Fahrenheit and Tomcat Alley,and was pleasantly surprised by the fluidity of the FMV video sequences of these two games, even the video quality is really good, of course, it considers to be talking about a console 20 years ago!
I did not think the Sega CD could make such great performance!
There are many other FMV games with really good video quality, and in some cases even excellent!
Mythical Sega CD / Mega CD!
I have no words for A/X 101 by Micronet for Sega CD,because the graphics are really AWESOME today!!!!!!
Hi Racket Boy!!!! what are your favorite games for the Sega CD? ….:-) Bye!
@ Tim […] I have no words for A/X 101 by Micronet for Sega CD,because the graphics are really AWESOME today!!!!!! […]
Yes absolutely Tim,and Novastorm,Silpheed and Soul-Star what do we mean?…^_^
I first bought the first version and stupid thing doesn't work. Cleaned the contacts on both and nothing. Doesnt power up or anything only the Genny. Had to buy the second model and works great. Too bad the first one doesnt work it looks so sexy. Oh well at least I still have it for collection sake

The first version does not work, because you have made a bad deal! 🙂
A slight error to your article.
■Sega CD was the first peripheral offered by Sega intended to expand the capabilities of and extend the life cycle of a basic gaming console (the Genesis).
The first peripheral would be the Power Base Converter which allowed the Genesis to play Master System Games.
Kudos to you for putting up with a Model 2 Genesis and Model 1 Sega CD because I'm not sure how not-ugly it was.

My family and I decided to take a vacation last week to this hotel. for the price (225USD per night per room, we got two rooms), we thought it was going to be a premium vacation and fancy place. Nothing of that! What we got was two standard rooms, one of which had the bath tub broken, the bath room door knob fell off, and a lot of interruption from the cleaning stuff still when the 'do not disturb' sign was on the door knob. On top of the outrageous rate we paid, we had to pay additional 7USD per day per person to use the gym, 13USD per day for internet, and 7USD per day for parking lot. Breakfast was pretty 3 star hotel. and to complete the trip a ladys' purse was STOLEN from the breakfast room!!! Really, really, bad experience! This hotel has nothing to do with the sheraton hotels I have staye before (asuncion, quito, and panama).
Good for the price paid
Great location and service. Nice physical facility. Room was fine and staff went out of its way to be helpful. Almeria is perfectly located near old town. Stayed 5 nights and wished we had planned more.
good breakfast good staff and location
we were within walking distance of everything. the staff had a pleasent attitude not the typical argentian arrogance which is found throughout the country when staying at hotels. Our room had not been dusted in a long time. must have been half cm of dust on the desk, shelves, etc.
internet access in room and lobby, spacious rooms, nice breakfast, terrace on the rooftop to relax, good room service Some rooms are noisy, because of air conditioning system or vicinity to elevator. One night I had to change my room twice in order to get some sleep.
Reliable hotel in a City where reliability is far from guaranteed
Spaciousness, luxury, modern design, attentive staff, central location in Salta The fact that 21% VAT (tax) was added onto the price advertised by Bookings.com. This possibility had been mentioned, but when it in fact was charged, left a nasty flavour -a terrible pity to spoil the very pleasant experience it had been up to then.
I liked the exhibited Art of high class local artists and that every room had at least one pice of art which made the room unique. I also liked the view of the City since the entire Wall of the room was glass. More adapters are needed for foreign plugs.
The room, rooftop pool, jacuzzi in the room, and location The food was terrible, breakfast stale and boring. Dinner way overpriced and not good. I have written a complaint and am waiting for a response. Should be much better for the money we paid.
Very friendly and helpfull staf, great room everything is 'design' which does not mean comfort. It was impossible to take a shower without splattering the entire bathroom.
The views are very nice, windows overlooking the city. Staff friendly but unexperienced, we asked them for a good restaurant and they sent us to a wanna be trendy horrible food place... the interior design is a luxury low cost proyect, nothing trendy or sophisticated if thats what you are looking for.. towels are old, swimming pool gets shady after 4....definetly not a 5 stars
The location was ideal; service was excellent, value was good, booking was easy. No
Superb location, all major sights in 5-10 mins walking distance. Spacious room with splendid views of the city.
The rooms and bathroom are admirable, spacious and very design. Also had dinner at the restaurant, was exquisite fine cuisine ! The staff very professional and friendly. The whole hotel is design with very good taste. We adored it !
The rooms are big and well equiped. Swimming pool on the rooftop is worderfull. Breakfast was a mess, quality was good but the tabels were not cleaned, staff was not looking after if things were out.
This hotel had all the amenities, large bathrooms and good location. It also had free private parking at it's sister hotel across the street. It was within walking distance to the main sights, restaurants and shops. This hotel had nice decor, a bar/cafe in the lobby and free wifi. You must specify that you want a double bed otherwise you may end up with a room with twin beds.
Good breakfast and friendly staff. Location close to the centre. The room needed major refurbishment and was not serviced during our two day stay. It was a poor standard tour operator type hotel and not suitable for the independent traveller. Value for money very poor when compared to the Hotel Candela which we stayed at on our return to Salta.
we arrived in teh early mornign hours and the staff were helpful in gettign us quickly and efficiently to our room, takign our bags. It was close ot the main plaza and shops and sites. Breakfast was less than inspiring
The room and service were excellent. Location is also excellent and most attractions can be accessed on foot. We were three people who walk with two canes each. Access to the hotel required us to walk up about 12 stairs. Breakfast was poor especially for diabetics. A lot of sweet carbs, but this is true throughout Argentina. Service in the restaurant was extremely poor and slow.
night porter was verly helpful as we checked in very late at night.
We really appreciated this place. When we first got the the large, well designed room, we noticed it was slightly 'down at heel', but we got used the that very quickly, and other things very much compensated. Easy walking distance, great reception staff, excellent internet in the foyer, value for money for sure, rooms well sound proofed (often a problem in hotels) Breakfast staff did not really keep up supply of crockery and cutlery, so if you did not get there at 6 am, you might not get a plate or coffee cup.
Spacious room. Parking garage included. Breakfast over average (for Argentina).
Very helpful and courteous staff. Hotel and specially pool need updating.
They opened their breakfast buffet at 5:30 am for us because we had to leave early. The buffet had lots of choices & was very good. Old carpet in the room, the rest of the room had been upgraded
the location of the hotel was excellent. the staff were helpful and the lobby was a very pleasant place to relax in. like in many otels, i think the bathroom could do with a little up grading.
Staff was very friendly. Stayed here for my birthday and the staff left a cake in my room on my birthday. The breakfast is delicious!! Room location is not great. Room was not quite prepared upon arrival later in the afternoon.
Very close to the city centre. No parking space included. The room really needs a refurbishment, the carpet was full of stains.
Staff are friendly and helpful. Most speak very limited English, so bring a dictionary. We had a room to the back, where it was quiet. The location is great - only two blocks from the central square. Would stay there again.
Location is close to all activities. Parking and internet is included in room price as well room service breakfast. We would stay there again.
The location of the hotel is good, and the value for the money. The room was pretty big, a good lay out, nice kitchen. The smell of cigarette in the room.

A young Palestinian man attempted to stab an Israeli soldier near the Palestinian city of Qalqilya in the West Bank Friday afternoon, security forces said.
The incident occurred when a routine IDF patrol stopped a suspicious vehicle at Azun junction, the army said. As the soldiers were checking the vehicle's occupants, one of them noticed an object in a passenger's pocket and instructed him to present it.
The man then pulled out the object, a knife, and tried to stab at the soldier, according to the IDF.
The troops subdued the suspect, in his twenties, and took him for questioning. No soldiers were wounded in the incident.

Steve Williams has apologized for using a racial slur about his former boss Tiger Woods.
He also said he was joking.
STEVE WILLIAMS: Tour considers case closed
TIGER WOODS: Former caddie makes racial remark
During an awards roast Williams said about winning the Bridgestone Invitational with Adam Scott was the best day of his life and added "it was my aim to shove it right up that black a------."
Three years ago Williams made a remark about Phil Mickelson that he got him into hot water. He also said he was just trying to have fun then too.
Is this something the PGA Tour needs to deal with?

'Empowered' Nurses Cut Respiratory Infections in BMT Unit
'Empowered' Nurses Cut Respiratory Infections in BMT Unit
patients undergoing bone marrow transplant (BMT), viral respiratory infections
can prove fatal. Viral respiratory infection was a contributing factor in two
patient deaths during a 17-case viral respiratory outbreak among the staff,
patients, and family members of a BMT unit, said Leslie D. Wehrlen, RN, BSN,
OCN, clinical research nurse, Clinical Cancer Nursing Department, National
Institutes of Health (NIH).
Soon after the outbreak, a multidis-ciplinary team of
physicians, nurses, and pharmacists from the medical center's BMT, infectious
disease, occupational medicine, and epidemiology services began work on new
infection control standards to prevent any recurrence of such an outbreak, she
reported at the 27th Annual Congress of the Oncology Nursing Society (abstract
Under the procedures in effect at the time of the 17-case
outbreak, patients generally were placed in respiratory isolation only after a
positive culture had established the presence of a viral infection. Patients
and their families received only limited formal education on avoiding upper
respiratory infections. Patients also sat in large waiting rooms that increased
the risk of exposure.
The New Strategy
The new prevention strategy led to an immediate change in
practice. Respiratory isolation now begins as soon as symptoms of infection
appear. In addition, patients, family, and staff all receive intensive training
on recognizing symptoms of respiratory infection, preventing their spread, and
managing viral illnesses. Family members learn of the importance of not
transmitting infections either at home or in the BMT unit.
Signs in both English and Spanish posted at the unit's
entrance warn visitors to be aware of viral symptoms and avoid visiting should
any be present. In addition, steps were taken to obtain culture results more
Staff are offered free flu vaccinations and instructions to
monitor themselves carefully for symptoms. Should flu-like symptoms appear, the
staff members may receive treatment with medicines such as oseltamivir
phosphate (Tamiflu).

poke my cookie and die
Unassuming cafés are a dime a dozen in Montreal. Walk a block there's one; walk one more, there's another. But Café Névé did something right to catch my sister's attention. She's a brisk, focussed walk-er. Only she knows how or why she spotted it.
We went in this weekend for a much needed mid-afternoon caffeine fix. It was a far too productive day as we were already in-and-out of Jeans Jeans Jeans by 10:30 am. I tried on 24 pairs of jeans. Oui, vingt-quatre . That's how many tries it took for me to find one pair of banging jeans. (Sidebar: Banging jeans are a pair that comfortably sit on your waist, caress every curve, raise your booty and still let you breathe. That's what she said.)
With our new jeans in tow, my sister and I walked into Névé. It's cute, unpretentious and communal. The only cringe factor came from the hipsters behind the counter. A little too much-ster.
The coffee was good, but it's always good in Montreal. The more important news is that Névé bakes. They serve happiness on a metal sheet pan that sits on the counter, next to the register. No bells, no whistles, no fancy packaging, nothing. As I was paying for my coffee I heard the chocolate chip cookie whisper, 'eat me', which probably means I'm stressed out about something. (I don't crave sugar or hear voices unless I have a lot going on.)
So I got the cookie and took a photo of le cookie:
|Memories of this cookie are making me emotional. Excuse me sir, can I have another?
It was sweet (but not painfully) with a nice burnt-caramel-like crust on the edges and a soft, chewy (but totally cooked) centre.
My enthusiasm for this cookie is off-the-charts. Words don't do it justice. My face does. If you could see my face you would understand. The cookie is that f*cking amazing. I'm obsessed.
P.S. Dearest sister, please mail me a cookie, or two.

After having a career year with the 1976 Minnesota Twins, reliever Bill Campbell becomes one of the first players to cash in on the new free-agent system. The reliever signs a big money (a four-year one-million dollar deal) contract with the Boston Red Sox after making just $23,000 this past season in Minnesota. I did a blog on this back on November 6, 2012 that you can read here. I also did an interview with Bill that you can listen to here.

— Cat Deeley, host of So You Think You Can Dance, says now that she's working in the US, "everyone notices" her crooked nose.
"You know what? My nose is crooked," Deeley told In Style Magazine recently. "I've been on TV for 10 years in England and no one has mentioned it, but in Los Angeles everyone notices."
She doesn't rule out the possibility of having plastic surgery at some point, though she says she doesn't have anything in particular in mind she'd like to fix.
"There's no stigma attached to cosmetic surgery in Los Angeles. I'm OK at the moment. If something was making me unhappy I might, but I don't know what it would be."
"But," says Deeley, it's not important, as she feels that "if people are concentrating on your nose, they should be doing something else."
Deeley told TV Guide last year that she "never, ever, ever" expected to be as successful in the US as she has found herself. "I hoped and I dreamed that So You Think You Can Dance would be successful, and I hoped that I would be a part of that success, but I never in my wildest dreams thought that it would be this much of a success."
Deeley, 30, is a former model and MTV presenter, former host of a children's series in the UK (for which she won a BAFTA Childrens' Best Presenter Award in 2001), as well as being host or presenter of many other shows and specials. She's also appeared as a presenter on the UK broadcast of American Idol, was an entertainment correspondent on The Tonight Show and Good Morning America, and a presenter on FOX's New Year's Eve from Times Square special.
Only one week until So You Think You Can Dance returns for a third season.
