Hi Wiihacks! Long time lurker here, first time poster looking for some help.
I've followed a number of the great guides on this site and have successfully installed DIOS MIOS on my Wii. All of the games in my library work extremely well with the exception of Mario Kart Double Dash and Super Smash Bros Melee. Mario Kart freezes after pressing start, and Smash Bros freezes when trying to start a match. I've also tried redumping both of these games and even playing them straight off the retail discs, the problems still happen. The thing I don't understand is, these games both work fine according to the DIOS MIOS compatibility list. Does anyone know what would cause these games to not work for me? I'm using the latest versions of both d2x and DIOS MIOS.
I had a theory that maybe these games need to be loaded with a different IOS. I know there's an option in Wiiflow to change what IOS the game is booted with but I don't know what the default one is or which other ones to try. Thanks for your help!

D2X has nothing to do with playing GC games (though I'm not sure where beta53 is coming from. We recommend v8final or sometimes the latest v9 beta). GC games don't load through IOSs. Anyway, you'll have to wait for someone with more DM knowledge comes along.

All Wii's (as far as I know) have BC & Mios stock from the factory, when you install DM you only overwrite the Mios file.
Now Devolution on the other hand (the other well known GC USB loader), games do require more than just a Mios and BC file (theoretically with Devolution you don't actually need those but I'm not going to uninstall them just to check). I'm not entirely sure just how much more but I do know that Devolution loads GC games in Wii mode via the systems IOS/cIOS setup. For more information on Devolution you can check the guide in my signature, for more Dios Mios info you can look up its google code page or check out the DM guide in our guides section.

The wine (and now beer) department at Western Mountain Brook is great. The staff all know their stuff, and the manager is always glad to help with special orders.
Riotbeard (14) Birmingham, | May 12, 2010
Best supermarket beer selection in Birmingham, and probably the Second best selectin in Birmingham after Vulcan. All Westerns in Birmingham tend to above average beer selections and dynamite wine selections. They have bells, great divide, rogue, chimay, tommyknocker, avery, yazoo, terrapin, sweet water, st. bernadus, in short almost everything in the Birmingham Market. They don't have growlers..., but still a good place for locals. If I were travelling to Birmingham, I would skip it and just go to Vulcan though.
gutowski (3) | April 29, 2010
This place has all the charm of a grocery store. Beer selection not bad for a grocery store, however, there was not one to discuss the attributes of different beers. The prices were a bit higher than the usual place I go. Decided not to buy here since I pass the other place with more selection on my way home.
Gustav1996 (24) Birmingham, Alabama | February 26, 2010| Updated March 14, 2010
This is a grocery store... with that said, it is not that bad. They have a decent selection of beers. The prices are average.

Legislation Set to Boost CNG Vehicles
Senate May Boost Outlook for Compressed Natural Gas Cars
First, the bad news: Summer gas prices are expected to hit our wallets at $3.25/gallon this year…
And if you live in New York City or San Francisco, you can expect it to be anywhere from $3.75 to$4.25 per gallon.
And now the good news: The Journal of Commerce reports that the government is finally doing something to help you with the steady rise of gas prices these past several years…
Last Wednesday, the Democratic tag team of Senators John Kerry and Joe Lieberman teamed up to introduce the American Power Act (APA), an extension of the Energy Policy Act, which established tax credits for the purchase of natural gas powered vehicles in 2005.
In addition to extending the tax credits of the previous bill for another 10 years, the APA would:
- Increase the tax credit amount depending on the size of the vehicle, as well as extend these credits to fleet owners;
- Make bi-fuel vehicles eligible for the tax credit;
- Create "natural gas bonds" that would promote government purchase of natural gas vehicles.
In addition to another bill running through Congress — New Alternative Transportation to Give Americans Solutions (NAT GAS) Act — the natural gas vehicle industry has never seen support quite like this.
"People from across the ideological spectrum are standing by us, ready to line up in support of this plan. Any time you see me and [oil tycoon and natural gas proponent] T. Boone Pickens urging the Senate to pass something, you know it's a genuine effort to bridge the old divides," Kerry said.
In response to the bill, the ETF United States Natural Gas Fund (UNG) shot up 6 percentage points, while the Dow was tanking -2%.
Natural gas-related companies also saw their shares power through the depressed market; nat gas fueling firm Clean Energy Fuels (CLNE) was up 5%, while nat gas engine systems designer Fuel Systems Solutions (FSYS) was up 9%.
There's no arguing — the future for natural gas investment is looking bright
"Natural gas is the cleanest burning alternative transportation fuel commercially available today and can reduce greenhouse gases emissions by almost 30 percent. We are very encouraged to see that support for natural gas vehicles is a part of this climate legislation," said Richard Kolodziej, president of NGVAmerica.
He continues, "The United States is behind many other countries in using natural gas as a transportation fuel, and the provisions in this legislation will encourage more fleets to switch to clean burning, domestically produced natural gas."
Between the Congressional bills and the Obama administration's vow to wean us off foreign oil, the demand for natural gas is only going to increase from here on out.
Not only is the fuel cleaner than oil and coal, but the United States has a very abundant supply of it — to outlast oil by at least 20 years.
Natural Gas is Heating Up
Across the United States, entrepreneurs are expanding the natural gas markets by pushing outside the boundaries of powering cooking and heating appliances, especially as oil's imminent production decline becomes more apparent to the general public.
My Green Chip Stocks co-editor Nick Hodge has covered natural gas investments before, and he's preparing another report for release sometime in June.
Nick thinks Kerry's bill and the current economic climate and oil market conditions are going to make the natural gas vehicle stocks ripe for triple-digit gains…
Natural gas will be on our radar for quite some time. Stay tuned to Green Chip Stocks for further analysis on this booming cleantech fuel.

New Delhi, July 24 (IANS) Are you a first timer at the derby and confused about your wardrobe? Put your best foot forward in a little black dress, high wasted pants or maxi-dresses, and accessorise it with oversize hats, pearls and a clutch, say designers.
Derby is not just about horses; it is also about seeing and being seen in a high-end fashionable wardrobe.
"One of the most unique features of derbys is that they are like a sports party where horse power, fashion, and fun come together. Guests wear extremely glamorous clothes and designs," said designer Pria Kataaria Puri.
Indeed, the derby in India has come of age: from a handful of spectators and betting gamers, it has grown into a fashion fiesta.
A case in point was the recent Kingfisher Derby 2013 in Bangalore, where a crowd of about 20,000 gathered, sashaying their ultra-chic clothes and high-end designs.
According to Samar Singh Sheikhawat, senior vice president, marketing, United Breweries Ltd, "derby is as much a lifestyle event as it is a sporting event".
So, what are the key elements of derby fashion?
"When it comes to dressing for the derby, the first and foremost focus is on the hat," Puri told IANS, adding: "There are no rules regarding hats. Hats can be just simple or flamboyant. Besides their show-off value, they must also protect you from the sun."
She suggested that the hat should be such that once you put it on your head, "you don't fidget with it or it upsets your hair-do".
"Secure the hat in place with hat pins. Try not to wear too wide-brim hats as they may make your neighbour uncomfortable. Men are expected to remove their hats indoors and during the National Anthem, but women have no such rules to adhere to," Puri added.
Women are free to indulge in any trend as there is no fixed dress code for them, whereas their male counterparts are expected to be dressed in casual suits, accesorised of course with pocket squares or brooches and hats.
"For women, there is no particular style when it comes to dressing. Anything works - from minis to maxis and formal suits," designer Rajat Tangri told IANS.
"The only code is that the dress has to look beautiful and suit your personality. Complement your clothes with an appropriate clutch," he added.
Since the hat is the crowning glory, jewellery should be subtle and kept to a minimum - a string of pearls or a simple bracelet.
"Pearls would look best as a derby is a day event. Diamonds and coloured gems broaches would also give a glam look, matched up with a solid coloured dress or top," jewellery designer Renu Oberoi explained.
Mind you, too much of everything is a fashion disaster.
"So go simple on colours, prints or style of the garment or the accessories," Oberoi added.
Dark glasses are another must wear, so go for good brands as they are style statements by themselves.
After the dress and accessories, another vital element is footwear.
"For footwear, choose from stilettos to flats. Go for something that you are comfortable in and something that suits your attire," said Puri.
Of course fashion at the derby has a subtle sense of beauty. Who can forget Hollywood veteran Audrey Hepburn's look in 1964 film "My Fair Lady"? She mesmerised her fans when she appeared on the screen in a gown crafted by British costume designer Cecil Beaton and teamed it up with an over-sized hat for the movie's derby sequence.
And Nicole Kidman recreated an almost similar look at one of the derbys last year where she came dressed in an elegant black-and-white lace dress and fashionable hat.
Even our own desi babe, Sonam Kapoor, wore a white halter ruffled dress in a derby scene in her 2010 film "Aisha".
So, in case you can't access stylists, check out celebrities' wardrobes they flash in the movies or at events.
"Horse racing across the world has been glamorous with best dressed ladies and sharply suited males attending. Most of the other sporting events are very casual, but this is more formal," Sheikhawat told IANS.

DETROIT (WWJ) – The UAW and other unions are fighting to keep "right-to-work" supporters from changing the state's labor laws.
The "We are the People" Coalition is starting a petition drive to create a ballot measure that, if passed, would amend Michigan's constitution and prevent it from becoming a right-to-work state.
"What has really been the catalyst for this is the fact that right-to-work just passed in Indiana, and of course there is this fear that this would snowball and the right-to-work legislation would move through other midwestern states," said Labor Historian Mike Smith."So, I think the labor movement needs to stop it in its tracks."
People who support right-to-work say it would make Michigan a more attractive place to do business.
Opponents believe it's an attempt to break down unions and the protection they offer workers.
"You're going to get a lot of support from citizens, especially since this is a strong union state. Still, there are a lot of folks who belong to unions, who feel threatened, and these people vote," said Smith. "However, since we have a Republican House and a Republican Senate, there is plenty of support for right to work."
Nearly 18 percent of the state's workers belong to a union. Michigan has the fifth-highest percentage of unionized workers in the U.S.

Tony nominee Andrea McArdle (best known as Broadway's original Annie) will take on another musical icon: Auntie Mame. McArdle will star as the eccentric title character in the Bucks County Playhouse's upcoming production of Mame. The musical will run at the Pennsylvania venue May 23 through June 9. No further casting has been announced.
Mame tells the story of orphan Patrick Dennis, who grows up in 1920s New York with his one-of-a-kind Aunt Mame. The Jerry Herman classic opened at Broadway's Winter Garden Theater on May 24, 1966. The show starred Angela Lansbury as Mame, Frankie Michaels as Partick and Bea Arthur as Mame's "bosom buddy" Vera Charles. All three actors nabbed Tony Awards for their work.
McArdle is the youngest actress ever to be nominated for a Tony Award for Lead Actress in a Musical. In addition to Annie, McArdle has appeared in Starlight Express, Les Miserables, Beauty and the Beast, State Fair and alongside Carol Channing and Leslie Uggams in the tour of Jerry's Girls. She recently starred in off-Broadway's NEWSical the Musical and headlined 70s and Sunny, a solo show at 54 Below.
Bucks County Playhouse's 2013 season will also include the Kander and Ebb revue The World Goes Round (June 27 through July 21), Really Rosie (July 5 through 21) and a yet to be announced holiday show (December 4 through 29).

It's strange the way that past seems always fine
while the present wears me down and time and time
and time lies heavy over me as it does over you
and the distance and what you said I know it wasn't true.
Every hour every minute is like a hundred years
and the pain I feel is measured not in inches but in tears,
so woman, friend or foe,
just hold me close and please don't let me go.
Well, my life now is ok in the morning in the day
but the night is long the night is sad
and thats when I have dreams I know you never had,
I know that I was wrong, I know that I was bad
so baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,
won't you come this way?
I'm walking down the street,
I see the people that meet each other
they kiss and talk and talk and kiss and talk
but I feel so alone.
And the world is made of stone
and everybodys freezing to the bones
even known it might be warm,
even known it isn't cold.
It's strange the way that past

Do you ever wonder why exactly we're doing this whatever it is that we're doing? Why we bleat our ineffectually tiny lamb-words out into the vast uncaring womb of the sky? What could we possibly hope to accomplish that hasn't already been accomplished by someone who already looks more like a lamb than I will look in twelve hours? Or is it all just for self satisfaction?
Is there any such thing?
In the essential Creativ Person™neurosis guidebook we come upon the proverbial dark cavern of bone-squiggling despair. "And lo, thou shalt covet thy peer's impressive talents and be held down amongst the reeds; you cannot do again what they have already done more awesomely. You should still probably try. Probably."
-- Proverbs 3:25-2
The very most stalwart Creativ Person™would like you to think that this bone-squiggling despair does not exist, that it is only a dark-shadowed rumor Emily Dickinson started. PS, what a dick. This is, however, incorrect. Your local Creativ Person™is attempting to wool you into thinking that they don't care what you think, something which could be no further from the truth than Family Dinner.
The reality is that bone-squiggling despair is out there waiting, poised and pistoned, whether your most beloved Creativ Person™succumbs to it daily or only once or never or bi-weekly or over yonder bitsly. It's waiting and it wants meats in its MOUTHS. The only option is to flee, isn't it?
I like shouting hopelessly into the sky.
See you in 2012.
with love,

World T20: Windies strike with spin, Pak hit a new low
West Indies bucked the trend. All teams have opted to bowl first, especially in the second match of the day, fearing dew and the slightly difficult batting conditions in the first half of the match.india Updated: Apr 02, 2014 08:03 IST
West Indies bucked the trend. All teams have opted to bowl first, especially in the second match of the day, fearing dew and the slightly difficult batting conditions in the first half of the match.
Thus when skipper Darren Sammy chose to bat, it did raise a few eyebrows. Not just that, with West Indies down to four for 67 in the 11th over, there was a hint of a one-sided affair. But then the heroes of the defending champions' thrilling victory over Australia, Sammy and Dwayne Bravo, came together to script a different tale.
Their sixth-wicket stand yielded 71 runs off just 32 balls. Pakistan's best bowlers, Umar Gul and Saeed Ajmal, were hit for 21 and 24 runs respectively in the 18th and the 19th overs.
From a benign 107 for five after 17 overs, the total went up to an imposing 152 for five at the end of the 19th. Five sixes and two fours were hit in the meantime. The 14 runs Sohail Tanvir gave away in the final over seemed economical in the face of the rampage that unfolded in the middle. And that had a lot to do with the run out of Bravo in the first ball of the 20th over after scoring 46 off 26 with two fours and four sixes.
Folding up
Pakistan did not recover from the shock. The in-form Ahmed Shahzad was leg-before to Krishmar Santokie in the first ball of the innings. And with the Akmal brothers Kamran and Umar, and after that Shoaib Malik, going back scoring virtually nothing, Pakistan's chase was nipped in the bud. It became a mere formality from then on, the crowd at the Sher-e Bangla National stadium still hanging around to see some sparks off Shahid Afridi's bat. Even that did not last long. Denesh Ramdin completed his fourth stumping of the day to dismiss Afridi and Pakistan lost by 84 runs, bowled out for 82 in 17.5 overs.
For the first time in the history of the tournament, Pakistan failed to reach the semifinals. Chris Gayle had failed with the bat and while walking back, a couple of Pakistan players had a word or two to say to him. The big man came out to field with a vengeance. He had something to say to almost all the batsmen. He dived around to save singles and did not forget a send off every Pakistan batsman. West Indies take on Sri Lanka in the first semi-final on Thursday, a repeat of last edition's final.

Phoenix police say they've arrested a Chicago man in the baseball bat killing of his ex-wife's new boyfriend.
Sgt. Steve Martos says 29-year-old David Walker flew to Phoenix and arrived at his former wife's home at about 12:30 a.m. on Thursday.
Martos says Walker went in the back door, got a baseball bat from the garage and went into his wife's bedroom, where she was sleeping with her new boyfriend.
Walker allegedly hit 29-year-old Adam Moring repeatedly in the head with the bat. He also hit his wife and then forced her to drive with their two children to nearby Tempe.
Walker got out and ran away, and the woman called police. Martos says Walker was found in a hotel late Thursday and arrested on murder and other charges.

Cameron County axes La Feria JP 7-2 court
Tue, 01 Dec 2009 18:39:10 GMT —
Cameron County commissioners have voted to eliminate the Justice of the Peace Precinct 7-2 Court in La Feria.
Commissioners met Tuesday morning where they voted unanimously to close the court.
Precinct 7-2 Justice of the Peace Dan Sanchez told Action 4 News he was disappointed with the decision.
He was fighting to keep his court open and save the jobs of his two employees.
Cameron County commissioners said they wanted to close the court as part of cost-saving measures.
Their decision closes the court in December 2010.
Cameron County Judge Carlos Cascos cited a low caseload for the court and said the closing it will save the county $30,000 to $40,000 dollars a year.
Commissioners decided that two employees working for Judge Sanchez will be moved to the office of Justice of Peace Precinct 7-1 Court also in La Feria.
The commissioner's court decision came ahead of a Friday deadline to start filing as a candidate for the Precinct 7-2 JP Court.

" Manufacturer: BBE / Sports Genre: Boxing - Gloves "
* Prices may differ from that shown
BBE Boxing, or Britainnica boxing equipment, is a big name in the sport. In years gone by BBE boxing logos could be seen on corner housings and gloves worn by professional boxers like Nigel Benn and Frank Bruno, especially in the British arena fights....those days are gone, now your likely to see Cleto Reyes sprawn about the place, and rightly so those gloves are so comfortable, but pricey.
Bag mitts are an essential piece of kitt for any descerning boxer, it is unwise to use sparring gloves or even those paded above 12 ounces to punch the bag as they are too padded, rounded and ultimately most bags are not of the shape of the torso, that being said, if you upper cut the bag with rounded gloves on you may hurt your wrist of your hand as the angle of deflection, especially with power witll bounce your hand off at a dodgy angle.
These days BBE are not the first name in Boxing,most boxers prefer to use foreign makes, not because BBE is so bad, but because foreign makes like Addidas and groves ten to be som much better. BBE now inhabit the lower end of the market, toward the middle range of equipment. The se mitts for example can be picked up for £11 on amazon, but good pair of bag mitts should set you back twice that cost, to give you an idea.
These mitts are comfortable, they saty clean and dry as there is fairly good ventilation, which is important because you sweat through your wraps loads and gloves, especially PV can get slippery and really start to smell, leather tends to fray on the inside through repeated sweating and can become coarse.
These mitts come in red and black, no need to hide or show blood stains, one should not spar with these. Inside the palm is silver and black, which is a nice touch, they looks quite professional for the cost, most other cheap mitts are simplty one colour all the way across. You can pick up sizes small to extra large, be shure to fitt the right size for you cross hand at the top, thats a good indicator. The wirsts of this mitt is elasticated and an added bonus is that most mitts do not have velcro fasteners, which can be difficult for beginners to do up, use you teeth ! and also it wont scratch the bag up. Velcro should fasten tight and well enough to the wirst and hold the mitt firmly in place...mine are very comfortable in this respect. The only disadvantage of elastic over velcro is that elastic always becomes looser over time, velcro does not...simply sew the elastic together to retighten it if this bothers you.
These gloves come in 8 to 10 ounces, this is a small amount of padding, unless your into MMA, but that is necessary to strentghen the wirst, the knuckles and fist itself on the bag, knuckles will be red and sore but this is the nature of bag mitts, you shouldnt need to use them on pads and certainly not whilst sparing, the bag should provie the rest of the padding, unless its a heavy bag.
The Gloves feel light on the wrist and hands, this is noral, without lots of padding there is little wieght and so it always feels unprotected compared to proper pad or sparring gloves, but this is normal, like putting on trainers after wearing army boots all the time, it is there to improve the resisitance of pain on your knuckles and lessen the weight so you can increase speed training and keep your hands up, punching for the round without having to worry about weight on the end of your arm, which most beginners have trouble with.
These gloves really are for beginners, novices, but they are of good quality...some trainers may use them on the cuff, especially when teaching a class, but probably not for themselves.
When i first started on the boxing bag years ago i started of with these like most probable do and i hared them, why? i fount them too square to punch with you want a pair that wraps around the shape of ur hand and knuckles with padding of course that allows you to punch accurate other than feeling un easy with it. When i put these on i fount that it would loosen up quickly around my wrists as you can see in the picture it is a 1 way strap that doesn't allow you tie yourself which results in having to stop your work out to re tie up. If you look at proper boxing gloves you will see they are more round on the knuckles, you do not want to use these then use proper gloves because you want to train your body and mind to using the same stuff not switching from different trype of gloves you are hitting with.
When i punched with these i could feel my knuckles hit the boxing bag and that is not good because you do not want to break a hand, wrist or bone due to training. You want the proper deal of training so look at gloves from Everlast they are the proper deal and last you for a long time with a conformable feeling
I first started going to a boxercise class about 3 years ago, and although I do not attend as regularly as I did back then, I still turn up occasionally to try and keep myself in a bit of shape - and keep that killer instinct intact!
I remember turning up for the class the first time, with a good friend of mine who had already attended the class about half a dozen times. The class consisted of lots of warm-up exercises, such as press-ups, skipping, sit-ups etc, followed by some glove and pad work, and finished off with about 20 minutes working out on the huge range of punch bags, gradually rotating around the different sized, coloured, shaped and weighted bags.
I instantly took to the the class, and couldn't wait to go back again, but on that first class I just turned up without any gloves, and so had to keep borrowing various old smelly and sweaty pairs which were all moist and sticky inside, and had been accumulated by the class instructor for many years.
I had realised during that first class that there were a range of different sizes and thicknesses of gloves, but I felt most comfortable with the mitt type, which are a lot less padded than the huge round padded gloves that are seen on TV by boxers fighting each other. This extra padding is probably required more when hitting someone in the scull, but for just practising on a nice padded punch bag or pad, I was sure the Mitt type would be be best.
I paid around £12 for my BBE Mitt gloves from my local sports store, and they sure felt good the first time I put them on, as they were clean, dry inside, didn't smell, and fitted great.
They are red in colour, and have a silvery / black inside palm colouring to them. They are 'one size fits all' and although I have fairly small hands they do fit perfectly well. The wrists of the glove do have an elasticated area to them which helps the glove stay in place without the need for any awkward to fasten Velcro strapping. Although over a long period of time this elastic does become a bit looser than it starts off.
The feel of the mitts is great for pad work especially, as the padding is thin, and it really feels as though you are in total control of the fist, and not just in a big padded glove, where you cannot feel much impact after striking the pads.
I have always found that the mitts provide adequate protection to the fingers, thumb and knuckles, which are well padded areas of the gloves, but I did find that after a few workouts a week, they would become a little a tender, and so to get around this minor issue I just purchased some hand wraps which are basically a long length of strong cotton material which can be wrapped around the hands and knuckles, before putting on the gloves to aid support, and help protect the hands and knuckles - these cost around £4 from most sports stores.
The wrist area of the glove is a little bit unprotected though, but this is to be expected with a pair of bag mitts, and I found this helped me in a way to improve my technique so that my wrists did not get twisted or sprained.
The overall feel of the BBE bag mitts is very good though, and just ideal for a bit of bag or pad work, or for general boxercise classes. They are kind of designed for the boxing novice / amateur, and would not really be suitable for anyone wanting to get in the ring and go 'pound for pound' with an opponent.
For around the £10 - £12 price range they are ideal for anyone wanting to get into the sport, and who doesn't want to have to keep the borrowing the old sweaty, smelly pairs that have been used by numerous other people in the gym for years.
Thanks for reading.

I brought my husband a boxing bag around 6 years ago and it came with a lovely se of gloves but they had been used to death literally so we needed to get some new ones.
I decided to have a look on Amazon for these and use my dooyoo miles to pay for them, this is the set I chose as they were a good price at £7.64, why are amazons prices so weird.
These gloves claim to be durable and well padded, my husband thinks these have got enough padding in them but I beg to differ as they hurt my knuckles a lot more when I am working the bag than my previous pair used to and a little more padding could have stopped this. The padding at the fingertips of these is quite touch and a good resistance though.
They have elasticised wrists which is a good alternative to the tie up ones as you can get these on and off yourself but I have to say I am not the biggest fan of this and would have preferred Velcro as this would have helped more with adjusting the size of them.
One size fits all is only really relevant to the fact that no matter how big your hands are these will fit as they are really big which doesn't help with me using them with such small hands as they tend to rub at my skin after a while but hubby doesn't seem to have this problem with them.
They are easy to clean, as all you need to do is give them a wipe over.
These are an ok basic mitten that does the job but they are not anything special.
Now i'm not the best boxer, so i needed a glove with lots of protection. With these £7.99 mitts, things went wrong.
The mitts are a shape that allows you to strike out accurately and place your hits where you want to, a luxury you don't get with most gloves. However, this less bulky design means a loss of protection. Don't get me wrong, the knuckle area is padded very well, protecting you from any damage, however lower down near your wrists it wears thin. Bam, two sprained wrists for me.
The mitts may look the part with their devil red exterior but when it comes to safety they let you down entirely. A major flaw. If this werent' an issue i'd have no fault in them, they're comfortable, and the elastic wrist section means no more awkward fumbling once you have the gloves on. When i look at the price of more proffesional gloves they're much higher, but i'd recommend them if you want more safety and less injury than these gloves.
When your hitting the bag, you really want something light enough to allow you to throw a punch the way you want to throw it, but padded enough to ensure there is a lot of protection for your hand in each punch.
The mitts cost £7.99 on Amazon, reduced from an original recommended retail price of £11.99.
The gloves are a dark red with a red thumb and black palm side, the gloves have a BBE insignia on the front side, in a small 5 centimetre square.
The gloves look the part, they are a decent size, although when you wear them they do seem slightly awkward looking and odd shaped for mitts. Overall the red looks effective and they really do look the part for bag work in the gym.
The gloves feel nice and padded, allowing you to really throw a punch without fear of breaking a knuckle, they are easy to fit on with a nice elastic wrist area, which is much more effective than the traditional velcro which becomes hard to use when you have one glove on.
My one problem with the feel was that the wrist area has little protection and for an unorthodox slapper like me, this can cause potential damage to wrist ligaments, but overall for £8, these are great pads for a bit of punching the bag with.
The mitts are one size fits all, and for under £8 are easily a 4 out of 5 buy, i've had mine over 8 months and there is a bit of wear and tear, but then if you use something to hit something else, that is absolutely natural.
A good product at a great price, there are better mitts on the market, but none at this price, which make them great for enthusiastic amateurs or people buying their first pair of mitts.
I have fond memories of my old Amateur Boxing Club. The tattered ring, the huge gothic looking windows with a permanent hole in one of them, the frayed issues of the old classic newspaper style Boxing News piled up on the tables. What I don't miss is the run we had to endure each week and putting on a pair of smelly bag mitts that countless other people had used. While I now follow boxing from the safe side of the ropes I do have a painted cellar with a dartboard, a small punch bag and a pair of BBE Bag Mitts that I probably don't use as often as I should do. It's actually quite cosy down there with the radio on in the background but I digress. The mitts I remember from my boxing club days were very small and basic and often had a velcro strap you had to adjust, sometimes meaning they never quite felt comfortable or 'right' as you pretended (unsucessfully) to be Sugar Ray Leonard in front of the huge mirror that dominated the tiny gym. I was impressed with the look and feel of these mitts when I got them as they felt much more substantial and padded than the ones I remembered.
They feel and look slightly more like boxing gloves rather than the battered old thin mitts we used to train with. These BBE Bag Mitts have elasticated wrists too and a one size fits all design and unless you have tremendously huge or very fragile hands they are not bad value at all for the price (about £7 the last time I looked)) you can currently buy them for online. The fact that the mitts are easy to slip on and off is a definite plus and they feel comfortable too when you are wearing them. Obviously, if you gave these mitts to Manny Pacquiao he would probably ruin them them in a matter of days (or possibly hours) and the rigours of being handed around ad nauseam in a boxing club wouldn't be much good for them either in the medium term. But for someone who wants to do a little lightish novice boxercise training now and again to keep fit they are perfectly fine and very inexpensive. It can be very therapeutic hitting a punch bag and they have the distinct advantage of never punching you back.
The mitts are recommended for circuit training, punch bags and speed work. My memories of circuit training are wooden beams, press ups and exercises that left you feeling like a wall had just fallen on you. I'm not surprised at all that the components of boxing training have started to become popular now as a way to keep fit. I do recall something I did like doing at the boxing club quite a lot which involved a springy black leather thing on the wall with some sort of foam inside it. This board, which was sort of like having part of a car seat mounted on the wall in a way I suppose, had several white circles printed on it and the aim of the exercise was to throw jabs inside the different circles, making sure you got your shoulder into the punch and retracted your arm quickly at the point of impact. Boxing mitts (as opposed to gloves) were always used for this and I'd imagine these BBE Bag Mitts would be very good for anyone who did this particular exercise or one similar to it.
The mitts are said to be good for speed work although I've never used these with a speed ball. In fact, I've never used a speed ball in my life. The trainer at my old boxing club - for reasons best known to himself - thought they were pointless and refused to have one in his gym. The main function of the mitts is of course to use on a punch bag and in this regard I found them pretty good. They feel comfortable and the padding is (happily) more substantial than I was used to but - obviously - it depends on the type of punch bag you are using and the intensity of your use. I don't use these gloves on a daily basis and they aren't going to be indestructible for someone who goes mad with them every single day but I think they are a decent product for the price. I think the gloves are quite attractive looking too. The bags I remember at the Amateur Boxing Club were like cement but the bag I have is a £40 one that is far kinder to your hands and perfectly fine for these mitts.
I would imagine these would be good for some light work on the pads too. I mitts I recall from pad work were much more threadbare but there were always frequent pauses for the trainer to speak at great length about the exact position of where your feet and guard should be at any one time. Balance and defence were deemed the two most important things and anyone who couldn't master them would certainly never be allowed to swap actual punches with anyone for real. You can probably buy boxing gloves for pads but I only recall boxing gloves for sparring (which didn't happen often) or boxing. It was actually quite rare sometimes to ever see anyone wearing proper boxing gloves at my old club. Only someone at the very end of their preparations for an actual bout.
These BBE Bag Mitts are not bad at all for the amateur boxercise dabbler who wants to jab or punch away at a heavy bag now and again to keep fit. They look good, earn an extra star for the modest price, and the one size fits all design and noticeable padding are both plusses. These gloves are though, I should stress, probably aimed more towards the novice who wants to become slowly accustomed to punch bags and pads etc or someone who wants to have a shorter session now and again. If you go to a gym every day and try to be Julio Cesar Chavez you should probably consider spending a bit more money.

Virginia Beach man gets 18 months in jail for harassing Navy pilots with lasers
By TYRA M. VAUGHN | Daily Press (Newport News, Va.) | Published: October 19, 2012
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — A 56-year-old Virginia Beach man was sentenced in federal court Friday to 18 months in prison for harassing Navy pilots in flight with a laser.
Robert Bruce Jr. pleaded guilty July 31 to one count of interference with a flight crew, according to a new release from U.S. Attorney Neil MacBride of the Eastern District of Virginia.
Court documents said that Bruce, angry about the noise caused by the Navy aircraft flying at Naval Air Station Oceana, began harassing aviators with a handheld laser as they flew near his home. The incidents took place from December 2011 to June 2012 during takeoff and landing practice, the news release said.
In addition to prison time, Bruce will also have three years of supervised probation and has been fined $4,000.

Osi Umenyiora definitely has Justin Tuck's back.
He just wonders why former teammates-turned-television analysts Antonio Pierce and Michael Strahan don't.
Umenyiora blasted both former players for their criticisms of Tuck.
The two were outspoken on Tuck not playing through neck and groin injuries last week, maladies that will keep Umenyiora's bookend and defensive captain out for his third consecutive game Sunday against Buffalo (4-1).
"It's very, very disappointing," Umenyiora said Friday as the Giants (3-2) concluded preparations for the Bills. "I can understand when the media does it. I don't care about that, that's their job. But the other guys played the game and they know what it's like.
"It's very disappointing, and it makes me question how real and how authentic they really are."
FALCONS: Rookie receiver Julio Jones will miss the Falcons' game against Carolina because of a hamstring injury.
Jones pulled up in the fourth quarter of a 25-14 loss to Green Bay while running a deep route down the sideline.
Coach Mike Smith said there's no chance of the first-round pick from Alabama playing against the Panthers.
REDSKINS: Cornerback DeAngelo Hall has a knee injury and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Hall was a surprise new addition to the injury report Friday.
PACKERS: Second-year safety Morgan Burnett broke his right hand in practice Thursday. He is listed as probable for the game.
HGH TESTING: Two congressmen and the NFL say after a meeting with the players union that testing for human growth hormone will begin shortly, but the union is less committal.
Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, told reporters Friday that the sides agreed to begin testing "immediately."
He added that what to do with the test results will be dealt with in the coming weeks.
But NFLPA spokesman George Atallah said testing will begin after a fair and safe system is in place.

More than 500 moms, dads and children gathered in Geneva Presbyterian Church in northwestern St. Johns County recently to learn about Florida's growing number of sexual offenders and predators.
While parents listened to startling facts about offenders and predators around St. Johns County and across the state, children gathered nearby to learn about "stranger danger" through role play with St. Augustine Police Department Officer Renee Morris.
St. Johns County Sheriff's Office Deputy Keith Oke told adults in the crowded fellowship hall that the best preventive method is to check the National Alert Registry before buying a home to see if an offender or predator lives nearby.
"If you're not sure about someone or something doesn't seem right, call" the Florida Department of Law Enforcement or the Sheriff's Office, Oke urged his listeners.
Halfway into the seminar, Oke asked the crowd to guess how many sexual offenders and predators they thought lived in St. Johns County.
To report suspicious behavior or for information on sexual offenders and predators, call the Florida Department of Law Enforcement at (888) 357-7332 or go to www.fdle.com
Also, inform the Career Criminal Section of the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office: 824-8304. The Sheriff's Office Web site is another useful tool for information on local offenders and predators: www.sjso.org
For a complete list of information on registered offenders and predators, go to the National Alert Registry
On sexualpredators.com you can search for national areas where offenders and predators live.
One woman guessed 18; another, eight.
The crowd gasped when Oke reported that 141 registered offenders and six predators are from the county.
Statewide, Oke said, there are 33,000 offenders and predators.
The difference between predators and offenders is that a predator is deemed more of a threat to society upon his release from jail, Oke said.
Offenders, he said, committed various offenses and must be registered for life.
Florida requires more offenders to register than any other state, Oke said, which is why the number is so high.
Of the six sexual predators, he said, two are incarcerated.
Sixteen offenders are in jail for violating their registration requirements, Oke said.
Some of the offenders did not commit lewd acts upon children, he said. Some of the men and women were over the age of 18 and had consensual sex with someone under 18 and were caught, he said.
"Will this number change?" Oke asked rhetorically. "Yes.
"Will it go up?
"Will it go down?
The numbers will rise and fall, he said, as offenders are caught and jailed.
To the dismay of the worried parents in the audience, Oke said that a sexual offender or predator may live near a school, a school bus stop, a park or a daycare center as long as he or she is not on probation.
"He could live beside the school (when he's not on probation)," Oke said. "I don't like telling you that, but it's true."
The only restriction on child contact after probation is that offenders aren't allowed to work or volunteer with children, Oke said.
When they're on probation, offenders must live at least 1,000 feet away from places where children congregate. They're not allowed to have contact with minors.
"We're buckling down and toughening up and watching them harder than we ever did," Oke assured the crowd.
The law requires annual checks on offenders and predators. Oke said the Sheriff's Office performs them on a "random basis ... so they don't know I'm coming."
With the introduction of the Jessica Lunsford Act, law enforcement agencies are putting "projects in motion," Oke said.
For example, agencies now meet monthly instead of yearly.
When asked what parents could do to further protect their children, Oke paused briefly, then said, "How you inform your child is up to you."

Laser DLP
0 comments post a comment
Will TI retire the spinning filter wheel that's used in most DLP-based rear projection TVs and projectors? The old filter wheel may still have one advantage: A richness of color.
Does laser light look different?
Hearing an announcement earlier this year that Mitsubishi has unveiled the first laser-based DLP rear projection TV (see Mitsubishi launches LaserTV), my first reaction was a big hurrah. If this takes off and gets cheaper, I reckoned, TI could once and for all retire that spinning filter wheel that's used in most DLP-based rear projection TVs and projectors. The spinning wheel creates a slight bit of audio noise, has been accused of causing visual disturbances and artifacts in a small number of viewers (aka "the rainbow effect"), and is a mechanical component in what's otherwise a solid-state device.
But compared with laser illumination, the old filter wheel may still have one advantage: A richness of color.
The distinction here is a bit like the difference between illumination from incandescent rather than fluorescent light bulbs -- and is, in fact, the very reason why many people prefer the former (despite efforts to ban it, due to energy inefficiency, such as in Ireland!)
If you look at a spectrum analysis showing the frequencies of light emitted from an incandescent bulb, you'd see a nice continuous curve with emphasis in the red area (lower frequencies), but essentially including, to a lesser degree, all the colors of the spectrum right up through blue and even a little ultraviolet (at least that's how the old "black light bulb" in my college dorm room worked!)
A fluorescent bulb, by contrast, has a spectrum graph that looks like a series of vertical lines, representing some very specific frequencies of red, green and blue light which mix together to create the appearance of white. But not all colors in the visible spectrum are represented here -- far from it -- there are just a handful of specific wavelengths. This is why, when compared to incandescent light, fluorescent seems "color starved."
What does all this have to do with DLP?
When the DLP filter wheel is on the red filter, for example, the spectrum produced is not a single color, but a range of colors all concentrated around a particular wavelength of red. Its spectrum graph would look like a curve, not a vertical line. Ditto for the other colors in the filter wheel, which also includes white, producing all the colors in the spectrum (assuming the light source is a halogen bulb, which is similar to tungsten bulbs.)
With laser light, however, it's a different story. Three lasers -- red, green, and blue -- produce three very specific wavelengths. These would appear as vertical lines in a spectrum graph.
Of course, by adjusting their comparative intensities, every color within the standard video color gamut (or even a wider gamut) can be produced.
However: First, the system is not analog, but digital. So the number of available colors is actually limited to the smallest increment, typically 1/256th of full brightness (8-bit per channel color), resulting in 16-million color combinations. OK, good enough, and true with any digitally-fed display.
But what's different with laser-based color is that there's no gentle roll-off around these 16-million colors. That is to say, there's no "sloppiness" to the color accuracy, as you'd get with filter-wheel illumination, or for that matter, with CRT phosphors.
Can consumers see the difference? Does anyone care? Those questions remain open. Some may even prefer the more perfectly precise color from lasers. But just like the temporal color mixing inherent in single-chip DLP technology itself (red and blue never appear simultaneously -- you create magenta by quickly alternating between red and blue in the same spot), laser color does raise some interesting questions about what we're "feeding" the eye-brain system when we watch TV.

Northwestern will be getting more than a three-star offensive lineman next fall, when Class of 2011 commitment Geoff Mogus reports to Evanston.
The Wildcats will also be getting a state champion.
Mogus and Lakewood (Ohio) St. Edward capped a perfect 15-0 season by coming from behind to beat Wayne Huber Heights, 35-28, in the Ohio Division I championship game. It's the first state title in school history for St. Edward.
Article Continues Below
Running back Terrell Bates scored on a 17-yard run with 1:32 left to clinch the title for St. Edward, which fought back from second-half deficits of 21-7 and 28-27 in the snow at Canton's Fawcett Stadium.
The Eagles were just 4-6 last year in coach Rick Finotti's first season, and Finotti gives his senior class credit for sparking the turnaround. The 6-foot-4, 275-pound Mogus was one of 34 seniors who were ordered by Finotti to stand on the tiny award stand in the middle of the field after the game.
"Get up there," Finotti said. "You earned this."
St. Edward quarterback Kevin Burke finished with 130 yards rushing and one touchdown on 15 carries, and he threw for 89 yards and another TD. Bates ran 21 times for 92 yards and two touchdowns.
Ohio State recruit Braxton Miller led Huber Heights with 207 yards passing and 75 rushing and scored all four touchdowns.
Pittsburgh commitment Deonte Gibson and Ball State recruit Avery Bailey also play for St. Edward.
For more on St. Edwards' win, see this story by Tim Warsinskey of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

During the festivities in Salamanca, Spain, triple Paralympic gold medalist Enrique Sanchez-Guijo asked for the intercession of the Blessed Mother for "the protection of life, inherent in every human being, from beginning to end."
Sánchez-Guijo, who competed in the Paralympic Games of Barcelona in 1992, Atlanta in 1996 and Sydney in 2000, said that together with the right to life, the "right to live in freedom, banishing all forms of terrorism and oppression," must also be respected.
The former athlete participated in a Mass at the Cathedral of Salamanca, during which he prayed for the families of Spain.
Born in the Spanish city of Bejar, he won three gold medals and set the world record in the 200 meter dash.
He also won gold medals in European championships in 1993, 1995, 1997, as well silver and gold medals in the world championships of 1994 and 1998.

Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari paints a somber picture of the Syrian crisis. He expects fierce fighting to drag on for years, accompanied by continued suffering and casualties, as all concerned parties have resorted to a "crisis management policy" rather than suggesting solutions. He described the US-Russian deal to destroy Syria's chemical weapons as a mere "appeasement that everyone needs."
"There is no international will to change the balance of forces on the ground. Now, everyone is caught up in the crisis — the Syrian government, the opposition and international parties," he said.
In an interview with Al-Hayat on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly summit, Zebari expressed his belief that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is "certainly surviving" in power, and that "there are no preconditions for him to step down" before the start of the political process.
He said that the Syrian opposition and the regime have abandoned any preconditions to take part in the Geneva II conference, "as a result of international pressure." He noted that the conference is expected to be held in late October or early November. He added that the chemical weapons issue will be separated from the international conference in Geneva. "They will be parallel to each other, yet will not intersect with each other," he said.
Zebari said, "Certainly, Syria will not be stable, and the great rupture of the social fabric will not heal easily, because of the bloodshed and killings that have affected almost everyone ... It is very difficult for any regime to survive forever. Without a responsible international intervention to find real solutions, the crisis is expected to drag on."
He stressed that "all Turkish, Gulf, Iraqi and Arab strategies did not lead to any solution," and the conflict is outside the circle of influence of regional parties. It has become "bigger than the regional powers. It is a struggle of international wills, and the Syrian crisis is being discussed during talks and deliberations of [the main] international powers in the UN Security Council, which are Russia and the United States."
Zebari considered that the US-Russian deal to disarm Syria "may be a sign directed at the Iranian side that there are international obligations by which all states abide." He stressed that the meeting between the American and Iranian foreign ministers within the P5+1 group meeting is "very significant and is a change indicating that the US or the Western side wants to reach a settlement with Iran under any circumstances." He expressed his belief that Iran "proposed new stances to address this issue through serious negotiation, some practical measures and by changing the negotiating team and sending reassuring messages. Yet, the upcoming negotiations are what will prove how serious the parties are."
On the relationship between Iran and Iraq, Zebari said that the two countries have "different positions regarding the Syrian issue," and strongly rejected the argument that Iraq is affiliated with Iran. He pointed out that the number of aircraft carrying Iranian military support to Syria has significantly decreased and that Iraq has not handed over any Iranian oppositionists present on its territory to Iran.
