Footbed Details
Footbeds for Houseshoes
A high level of arch support with subtle cushioning.
This Ultra-Comfort boiled wool-lined footbed is specifically designed for our collection of indoor houseshoes. A cushioned midsole material gives you just enough cushion to feel cozy, while also offering a firm enough arch support (medial and metatarsal) to help keep you aligned and energized on your feet all day long. The proprietary blend of materials ensures that the footbed flexes dynamically with your foot (and Giesswein houseshoe) each step of the way. In keeping with our philosophy of keeping you (and our shoes) as natural as possible, no synthetic glues or cements are present here. Only four natural materials go into these footbeds: wool, rubber, recycled carbon, and natural jute. Naturally odor-resistant and machine washable.
Footbed Features
- high-level arch support (metatarsal and medial)
- retains anatomic contours and full cushioning for years
- metatarsal arch supports the ball of the foot, and encourages toes to separate naturally, aiding in the release of tension in the foot
- medial arch stabilizes the foot and supports both the inside and outside arches, helping to minimize pronation and reduce fatigue
- machine washable footbed is lightweight, durable, and cushioned
- made of natural rubber, natural jute, and recycled carbon with boiled wool lining
- soft, non-synthetic, moisture-wicking durable boiled wool liner prevents overheating and keeps your foot dry and comfortable year-round
- natural boiled wool is never itchy, scratchy, or sweaty
- deep heel cup keeps the heel firmly in place and provides shock absorption and increased stability and balance
- made in Germany
Footbed Wash & Care
- separate footbed from shoe
- place footbed in washing machine (preferably using a delicates bag)
- wash cold, gentlest cycle (only mild, natural detergent, if necessary, for tough soils)
- no fabric softener; no machine drying
- allow to air-dry overnight
Footbed Description
Our proprietary Ultra-Comfort footbeds ensure that your Giesswein experience goes beyond coziness: anatomically correct arch support, roomy toe boxes, deep heel cups, and naturally supportive materials help to keep your feet healthy, energized, stable, and comfortable all day (and year) long.Back to Top
Wash & Care
- for appliquéd styles, we discourage machine washing whenever possible and instead recommend spot-cleaning to best preserve hand-stitched details
- if you choose to machine wash, separate footbed from shoe
- place both pieces in washing machine (preferably using a delicates bag for shoes)
- wash cold, gentlest cycle (only mild, natural detergent, if necessary, for tough soils)
- no fabric softener; no machine drying
- stuff shoe with paper/newspaper and allow to air-dry overnight
- insert footbed after shoe is completely dry
Product FAQ
Fit and Wear Tips
Fit Tip #1: Roomy slipper; not always the best option for low instep or narrow feet
Fit Tip #2: If you have a slimmer foot but this special applique is a "must have", a thick wool sock can help snug up the fit (a little bit).
Question: How are your shoes sized, and how I choose the best size?
Answer: If you have never worn a Giesswein before (or are choosing a new style), we always recommend that you visit one of our authorized retailers for the best fitting advice. If that is not an option, here are some tips: There should be very minimal or no lifting of the heel out of the shoe when walking; no noticeable bulges/protrusions of material as a result of your foot shape (especially in the toe area); your foot should experience either very minimal or no lateral (side-to-side) or front-to-back movement when walking; no part of your foot should noticeably "roll off" or hang over the edges of our removable, orthotic-quality footbed when walking. Also, there are nuances in fit between different styles in our collection: a size 38 could be a great fit for you in one style, while a half-size up/down may be better for you in another style. We maintain unique size conversions for every style (sometimes even within the same grouping, i.e. Houseshoes, Lodge Shoes, etc.): the approximate US conversions are listed specifically on every page when choosing size and color.
Question: Can these Houseshoes be worn outside?
Answer: No. While durable, our Houseshoes' patented, all natural, latex-dipped outsoles are designed for indoor use only.
Question: Can Giesswein Houseshoes be repaired (wool) or resoled?
Answer: We do not offer in-house repair services for our product line. (Since our specialized manufacturing is done in Austria, we do not have the we do not have the equipment for repairs here in the USA.) Thus, we recommend that anyone experiencing a hole in the textile check with a local seamster/seamstress/tailor—because our shoes are mainly constructed of wool, we find that regular cobblers are not so well-suited to repairing the shoes. A good tailor should be accustomed to working with wool (sweaters, etc,) and they should be able to offer a reasonable stitching or patch solution that will prolong the usage of your Giessweins. The rubber outsoles cannot be repaired.
Question: Can I buy replacement footbeds for these shoes?
Answer: Yes. Please see our Footbeds section to identify and purchase the correct footbed for your Giessweins. Our footbeds can be used in other brands' shoes, but, in these cases, we recommend that you seek the advice/consultation of a pedorthist to ensure that the combination of your individual foot, shoes, and Giesswein footbed are appropriate for your needs.Back to Top

Industries Hydroelectric Licensing Rulemaking
Commission Issues Final Rule - On July 23, 2003, the Commission issued a Final Rule to revise its regulations pertaining to hydroelectric licensing under the Federal Power Act. Effective October 23, 2003, the revisions would create a new licensing process, the Integrated Licensing Process (ILP) in which a potential license applicant's pre-filing consultation and the Commission's scoping pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) would be conducted concurrently, rather than sequentially. The Final Rule was published in the Federal Register on August 25, 2003. Highlights of the proposed new licensing process include:
- Greater coordination among the Commission and federal and state agencies with mandatory conditioning authority;
- Increased assistance by Commission staff to the potential applicant and stakeholders during the development of a license application;
- Application preparation in conjunction with the Commission's environmental scoping process to facilitate in early issue identification;
- Increased public participation in the pre-filing consultation process;
- Establishment of process plan and schedules and deadlines for all participants, including Commission staff;
- Development of a Commission-approved study plan by the applicant, with informal resolution to study disagreements, followed by formal dispute resolution, if necessary; and
- Limiting of the need for post-application study requests
The ILP joins the Commission's two existing processes, the Traditional
Licensing Process (TLP) and the Alternative Licensing Process (ALP),
as a third alternative for processing hydroelectric license applications
(table comparing the three processes).
The Final Rule also established a two-year-transition-period
whereby an applicant may choose among the three processes until
July 2005. On July 23, 2005, the ILP would became the default process. Commission approval is now needed to use the TLP and ALP.
The regulatory language for the ILP is included in a new part 5 of Title 18 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The Final Rule also includes changes to the TLP and ALP regarding application requirements, public participation, and a Pre-application document. The 18 CFR parts 2, 4, 16, and 385 is amended to implement the new procedures. A redline/strikeout version of the changes to 18 CFR parts 2, 4, 9, 16, 375, and 385 and the new part 5 regulation text is available.
In drafting language for the Final Rule, Commission staff considered written comments filed in response to the February 20, 2003 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking comments received at public and tribal workshops, conceptual language from the Stakeholder Drafting Sessions, and language drafted jointly with other federal agencies with authorities under the Federal Power Act (Departments of Commerce, Agriculture, and the Interior.)
Tribal Policy Statement
In addition to the Final Rule, the Commission also issued a policy statement on consultation with indian tribes in Commission proceedings to articulate its commitment to promote a government-to-government relationship between itself and federally-recognized Indian tribes. The policy statement recognizes the sovereignty of tribal nations and the Commission's trust responsibility to Indian tribes. The policy statement also establishes a tribal liaison who will act as a guide for an Indian tribe's participation in FERC proceedings. Finally, the policy statement establishes certain actions specific to the hydroelectric program that will endeavor to increase direct communications with tribal representatives in appropriate proceeding.

Harvard finds Israeli hummus 'deeply troubling'
Multicultural diversity rules OK, as long as it doesn't offend Arabs! The Jerusalem Post reports that the Harvard Business School has succumbed to cultural terrorism from Lebanese student Sara el-Yafi, who garnered 4,000 'likes' on her Facebook page for alleging that foods at the school's 'Israeli Mezze station' were 'appropriated' from the Arabs. Jews from the Middle East and North Africa, over 50 percent of Israel's population, brought these foods with them, of course, and have been eating them since before the Arab conquest. I don't know whether to be more affronted by Miss El-Yafi's bigotry, or by 'troubled' Harvard Business School's grovelling apology. (With thanks: Charles)
The Harvard Business School is "deeply troubled" for having offended Arab sensibilities due to the mischaracterization of various foods appearing on the menu of the dining room's Israeli Mezze Station, Brian Kenny, chief marketing & communications officer of the school, was quoted by Al-Arabiya English as saying Friday.
The controversy over the Israeli food station arose after Lebanese Harvard graduate Sara el-Yafi on October 28 posted to her Facebook page a letter of protest to the university describing the Israeli buffet's menu as an affront to Arabs, as Hummus and Couscous, for example, are not of Israeli origin.
"That 'Israeli Mezze Station' is the ultimate multicultural, multireligious 'f'-you in the face of ALL Arabs at once from North Africa to the Levant," Yafi wrote.
"Israel already has a hard time keeping face in the Arab world for the way it has 'appropriated' its lands since 1948, don't make it worse for them by having them appropriate other peoples' foods as well," she added.
Yafi also pointed out that Halloumi was in fact "Cypriot," and therefore "until Cyprus becomes another conquered Israeli territory, Halloumi is considered NOT Israeli."
She concluded that at the very least the buffet should be renamed "Mediterranean Mezze Station."
In response to Yafi's Facebook protest, which as of Friday had garnered more than 4,500 "likes," the Harvard Business School communications officer Brian Kenny reportedly said that "we are deeply troubled that we offended anybody by doing this buffet item, particularly considering that our reason for doing the international buffet each day is to celebrate cultural diversity."

Seriously? Are these the same people whining about the Kraft ads depicting Grandma's Greek Hummus? Maybe they need to get a life. In my town . . .the only restaurant selling Hummus is a GREEK restaurant and is owned by Arabs. Go figure . . .

It will be done. In fact, my whole rant will be rewritten, using that point as central. Thank you Eliyahu for that one. If only I can write on that damn picture that so many others have so everyone can see it. I'm ging to wait a day or 2 first to see if I can crack that

Glad to help, Selina.
off topic/
If you're in France, the Jewish Museum in Paris [Musee de l'art et de l'histoire juifs -exact title?] has an excellent exhibition on Jews in Algeria which --I was surprised to see-- does mention the pre-French, inferior status of Jews as dhimmis.
Also, Georges Bensoussan, the historian connected with the Revue d'histoire de la Shoah, has come out with a new book on the history of Jews in Arab lands [or only in North Africa?] since 1850.

Thanks for the info Eliyahu.
I'm still fired up about this so I posted this as my FB status at first and then over the next few days try to find a way to post on that picture that has gained over 5 millions likes...if that fails, I will private message here and inform of the result on here
'Dear Sara El-Yafi,
Your protest on FB about an Israeli stall supplying hummus, falafel, couscous, harissa, olives etc 'appropriating and stealing' Arab culture is ignorant, even for a Middle Easterner as yourself. Your further words show that your issue is actually with Israel and Jews and not actually about the food.
To fight over whom invented hummus is quite ridiculous. I'm an Iraqi origin Jew, did I 'steal' your pitta bread for my own?
Somewhere along the line you conveniently forgot that everyone in the Middle East shares the same heritage, that Jews in the area are native just like Muslims and Christians and we all have the food, music and language differences. Lest you forget that Jews have existed in the Middle East far longer than Muslims, does that mean we never ate pitta and hummus before the arrival of Muhammed?
By the way, your name is Jewish. You carry the name of the first Jewish matriarch. So do you want to give back the name which you 'stole' from us Jews? No. Because you didn't. It is a common name all around the Middle East and elsewhere being a Semitic language. Therefore your argument is invalid.
You think a Middle Eastern native and being at Harvard would know their stuff. You clearly don't'
- 9:34 pm, November 10, 2012
- Eliyahu m'Tsiyon said...
A nice statement, Selina. The problem is that most of these university "intellectuals" are impervious to reason and fact, as you probably know already from experience. But we should still respond, as you did
- 9:44 pm, November 10, 2012
- bataween said...
Excellent, Selina!
Eliyahu, watch this space for info on the Jews of Algeria exhibition which I visited two days ago.
I'm also reading the Bensoussan book.

Those people leave their hell hole countries but can't leave the ideas that turned their countries into a hell hole in the first place. If I didn't know that western universities are incubators of extremism I would be shocked.
- 2:42 am, November 11, 2012
While such Arab sniping seems a minor annoyance, it is actually symptomatic of two major problems:
1. Arab petrodollars are gradually imposing an anti-Semitic agenda on western institutions.
2. The Arab world is making headway in its efforts to culturally cleanse Mideast history of Jews.
- 3:03 pm, November 13, 2012
Furthermore, "Yafi" sounds suspiciously like the Israeli slang, "yofi".
Did Sara steal both her first and last names, from the Jews?
- 3:06 pm, November 13, 2012
I think that JPost is incorrect in calling Ms. el-Yafi's response "cultural terrorism." She is right, to an extent- the cuisine on this menu is Mediterranean, and I think most people would understand that description of the menu. However, I think this is overlooking the multicultural nature of Israel itself. I think that Israeli cuisine is one of the most vivid representations of this multiculturalism. Israel doesn't just mean Jews from Europe, as I imagine most people think. Labeling the menu "Israeli cuisine" provides the opportunity to explore this multiculturalism- the food on the cuisine is currently eaten in Israel, but it has been brought to Israel by many different people from many different places- Jews, Muslims, and Christians from the Mediterranean, the Middle East and Europe.
I would also recommend listening to a recent story by NPR about a pair of restaurant owners- one an Israeli Jew and one a Palestinian- who run a hummus restaurant in London. They say that if there was a way to bring people together, it would be around a plate of hummus.
I think that perhaps Harvard should use this opportunity to educate their students about Israel.

"I thought we got beat at our own game," Rosenthal said. "I would hate to say St. Louis wanted it more, but they out worked us. And that doesn't happen often to us."
The Lipscomb Lady Bisons fell 3-1 to host St. Louis Friday night in the Billiken Invitational.
The Lady Bisons lost set one 25-19. They won set two 25-16 and then dropped set three 25-18. The fourth set was the closest of the match with the Lady Bisons falling 27-25.
"We never could really find that rhythm. At times I told the girls we looked like a bunch of individuals out there instead of a group or a team,
In set four the Lady Bisons trailed 24-18 before coming back to tie the set at 24-24.
"It's nice to think what could have been, but when you come from behind like that you need to finish it," Rosenthal said. "When things aren't going right, or when there is play here or play there that doesn't go our way, we have to get back to the basics. At the end of the day we didn't execute the little things and that caught up to us."
The loss marked the first time in four tournaments this season that the Lady Bisons have lost to the host team. The loss also ended a seven-match winning streak as the Lady Bisons slipped to 9-3. The Billikens are 4-6, but have won 22 straight matches on their home court.
"This is the type of team I knew was capable of doing this," Rosenthal said. "We didn't push back as hard as they pushed us. That is a credit to St. Louis. That is something we have to learn from."
Saturday the Lady Bisons will face Western Kentucky, 8-4, at noon followed by Marshall, 5-5, at 4:30.
"This weekend everyone is a little tired," Rosenthal said. "When they blow that whistle we have to go. I truly expect battles with both of those teams.
"Western lost in five after being down 2-0. I'm sure they are ready to get back on the court. Marshall got a good win and will also play St. Louis. Marshall will want to build on its success."
Rosenthal is confident that the Lady Bisons will rally and execute the game the way they have been trained.
"It is going to be a grind the rest of the way," Rosenthal said. "We have to find that extra gear or score a couple of extra points to grab a lead and then build on it. If you want to come and see some gutsy volleyball this is where it is."
Middle blocker Alex Kelly led with a match-high 19 kills and added 11 digs. She finished with a .349 hitting percentage. Outside hitter Kaycee Green had 12 kills.
Setter Stefine "Jake" Pease had 36 assists, but also posted a team-high 14 digs. Outside hitter Meghan Hinemeyer barely missed a double-double with 11 digs and nine kills.
"I wouldn't say the St. Louis match was particularly pretty," Rosenthal said. "We had a tough time getting into our offensive flow. That had something to do with our passing for most of the evening."

Part 1 of 3: Boulder detectives still seek answers in JonBenét Ramsey case
On his death bed in August of 2010, famed Colorado Springs Det. Lou Smit could have spoken about the 200 murder cases he'd solved during a storied career going back three decades. Instead, he chose to talk about the one he hadn't solved: the case of JonBenét Patricia Ramsey, the 6-year-old beauty queen from Boulder found bludgeoned and garroted in the basement of her own home on Dec. 26, 1996.
The case had become one of the most perplexing murder mysteries in the U.S. of the 20th century.
Though his work hadn't put a killer in prison, as far as Smit was concerned it kept the innocent parents of the victim, John and Patsy Ramsey, out of prison. And he said he believed that was one of the greatest achievements of his life.
His work also gave detectives a blueprint he hoped would guide them to JonBenét's real killer or killers after his death on Aug. 11, 2010. But Smit's opinion is just one of a plethora of theories about what happened to the tiny beauty queen.
Despite a public declaration by former Boulder District Attorney Mary Lacy and DNA found on the girl's underwear and body that does not match anyone in her family, the parents of the young girl should not be excluded as suspects, according to some respected experts.
Former Denver homicide lieutenant Jon Priest, a consultant who gives seminars around the world about evidence collection and crime investigation, said the DNA may not have belonged to the killer at all.
"Who knows how it got on her clothes," Priest said in a recent interview.

text: The wonderful weather continues as Christmas winds down and the New Year approaches. We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas vacation, but are very happy to be back in full swing down here at the Rockin' R. The Holidays are a time to appreciate all the wonderful things that we have been blessed with. Here at the Ranch we are blessed with the opportunity to celebrate in a small town where everybody knows everybody with great traditions and celebrating the holidays. Here you can look 3 Ways to Help Homebound Seniors Keep Holiday Traditions. Antimony, Utah, has a population of only 126 people or so. We are able to experience what small-town life is all about. The old-fashioned values that have set the American West apart from everywhere else in the world still exist here. Brandi and I feel blessed to be able be a part of this special atmosphere that doesn't exist in many places around the world any longer. And the best part about living here is that we are able to share this with you. When you visit the Rockin' R, you are transported to another time. A time without cell phones, television, video games. A time where families worked together all day, ate dinner together at night, sat around the campfire and talked about their hopes and dreams. It was a time of horse and saddle, not GPS navigation systems in your SUV. The people that have come and stayed with us are able to leave here with a feeling of "how things used to be". My holiday wish is that everyone can experience this feeling, if only for a little while. The Rockin' R is a great place for hunters and ice fisherman. Otter Creek is only 5 miles down the road and they say that the fishing is really good right now.We have had some cow elk hunters stay with us the past couple of weeks. THE WINTER RATES ARE SUPER! So come on down and experience a little of the American West. Happy NEW YEAR!!!! Brandon & Brandi Hanks Rockin' R Managers

Jun 01, 2009 | ISBN 9780807000434
As well as a guide to how others can help be healing presences to the mentally ill, this hopeful book is a meditation on faith in a broken world.—Publishers Weekly, starred review
"A refreshing look at compassion and caring for Seattle's outcasts . . . touching and not overly preachy."—Louisa Gaylord, Crosscut
"Recommend[ed] to professionals . . . to those who have struggled with mental/emotional problems, and to those who have mentally disturbed family members or friends."—Dean Watt, The Center for Progressive Christianity
"For the past 20 years, the Rev. Craig Rennebohm has spent at least three days a week walking the streets of [Seattle]. His mission? Helping the chronically homeless people everyone else bustles past. He shepherds people with mental illnesses to doctor appointments. He warms folks up with coffee at Starbucks. And, always, this United Church of Christ minister tries to get some of the 2,000-plus people 'sleeping rough' on any given night into housing. It's slow going." —Laura Vanderkam, USA Today
"Souls delivers a multilayered and nuanced discussion of homelessness and mental illness. And, when combined with a theological perspective that emphasizes God's love, Rennebohm's hard-fought-and-won insights into engaging the homeless and creating better systems of care offer refreshing contact points for psychology and religion."—James H. Zahniser, Contemporary Psychology

text: It could be said that former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt's strength was born out of her husband's weaknesses: first, after she discovered an extra-marital affair early in their marriage, she resolved to live on her own terms not merely as an accessory to her powerful husband. Later, as first lady, Eleanor took 'fact-finding' trips for her less-mobile husband, who lost the use of his legs after contracting polio in 1921. She spoke fiercely and freely about racism, poverty and sexism in a way that would have been impossible for a sitting president at the time. "You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face," she once said.

Welcome To The German Pedigree Poultry Breeding Net
We are happy about every international contact! Foreign visitors of our website are invited to contact the representatives of our Association, the societies or our partners.
You are welcome to use all our information and communication features on our web site.
But first we would like, to introduce our organization: We are the Association for maintaining and supporting Fowl, Poultry and Water Poultry Breeding Societies (Verband der Hühner-, Groß- und
Wassergeflügelzüchtervereine e.V.– VHGW) ...
The VHGW - Who is that?
The Association for maintaining Fowl, Poultry and Water Poultry Breeding Societies is a registered society and one of three associations of the Organization of German Fancy Fowl Breeders (Bund Deutscher Rassegeflügelzüchter). Affiliated associations are the Association of German Fancy Pigeon Breeders (Verband Deutscher Rassetaubenzüchter - VDT) and the Association of Fancy Bantam Breeding Societies (Verband der Zwerghuhnzüchter-Vereine - VZV). These Associations take care of special poultry breeding societies. The members of those "special societies" within the VHGW are devoting with breeding of fancy fowl like geese, ducks, turkeys, guinea fowl and chicken (not Bantams).
Our special societies are organized nationwide. They usually specialize in one breed or in breeds with similar characteristics and are working close to improvement of European poultry breeding standards.
Eighty-two special societies and eight regional clubs are organized within the VHGW, all of them devoting with water poultry or fancy fowl breeding. Our Association has nearly 7,500 members, yet.
* The special societies are updating the standards for fancy fowl in cooperation with the Federal Committee for Breeding and Recognition of the Organization of German Fancy Fowl Breeders. They are caring, supporting and looking after the breeds, selecting animals for further breeding and are organizing special breed-shows. The yearly summer meeting is an integral part of the work of our special societies. Experiences in breeding are exchanged, interesting conversations on animal breeding issues and expert discussions take place amongst similar-minded persons in a friendly and social atmosphere. The most important event in every special society is the yearly main show, when expert breeders are exhibiting their recent breeding results into a fair competition.
The special single societie is teaching and training their own experts for specialities of breed. They judge the birds on special shows and also on the big federal shows. The judges and the caretakers are informing the members by means of show reports in circulars and animal reviews about the actual breeding situation and the requirements for animals in shows, about what is to be improved, to be culled or to be kept.
* A highlight of our work is yearly VHGW federal show where the German champions of Fancy Fowl breeding will be determined. The host place for this show is always a big fair complex of a big city in Germany. The special societies take part with a special show or their main show. Besides the title "German Champion", the VHGM Band of Honor and the VHGM Medal are desired trophies of the show.
* Each year at 2nd weekend in August the representatives of special societies meet for their Federal Conference of the VHGW. Apart from the yearly meeting interesting expert lectures and honors of successful breeders take place . The association awards the VHGW Literary Prize for a good performance as author in the field of poultry breeding.
VHGW meetings are kept on regular basis. During the two day conference common issues in Fancy Fowl breeding are discussed with well known expert speakers.
We are an Association that promotes and supports Fancy Fowl breeding. That is why we would like to cooperate with committed breeders beyond Germany. We are looking forward hearing from you .... (contact)

I've been thinking about the idea of modifying the 3D Vision active shutter glasses so that both of their lenses can show only the left or only the right image from stereo 3D content being displayed on a 120Hz LCD monitor. The reason for such modification is to have a pair of 3D Vision active shutter glasses that can be used to watch in 2D when the display is actually showing 3D content, thus allowing some people to see the 3D content and others to see the same content, but in 2D… all at the same time. On the demo video above you can see a demonstration showing what I was able to achieve after a few hours spent to learn how the 3D Vision glasses function and to modify them. And the same modification should be possible to just about any other pair of active shutter glasses, for example a pair of shutter glasses that is used with a 3D-capable HDTV…
As you know some people are not feeling comfortable when watching stereoscopic 3D content, or do not see the 3D effect at all because of having some issue with their eyes, however at the moment nobody is offering 2D shutter glasses for these people to enjoy the same content with their family or friends in 2D while others are using 3D glasses and seeing in stereo 3D. When displaying stereo 3D content on the screen that is intended to be watched with shutter glasses, you cannot watch it without glasses and with the glasses it is in stereo 3D. This is why you need the glasses to show only the left or the right frame at the same time through both shutters and blocking the other view, so that you will be actually seeing 2D content, but the only way to do that currently is by physically modifying the glasses (loosing the warranty of course).
The next interesting possibility by having two pairs of modified 3D Vision shutter glasses – one to show the left and the other to show the right frames only, is to allow the sharing of a single 120Hz LCD monitor between two users watching different content. Of course both users will be able to watch different 2D content with 60Hz each, like two different movies for example, or a movie and a game, even two different games at the same time, although this becomes harder on the software side. However this possibility should not be neglected as it can be quite useful, especially since it will not be that hard to also have different audio for the two users depending on what content they are watching. But here I'm just talking about a possible future perspective that may or may not be exploited…
Now to the point on how you can actually modify a pair of 3D Vision active shutter glasses should you decided to do so because of various reasons, some of which I've already mentioned above or for something else. Just a reminder that doing the following modification will void your warranty and it also requires some soldering skills etc., so if you are not sure in your abilities please do not try this modification as there is risk of damaging the glasses!
This is not my first time opening the 3D Vision shutter glasses, so it was an easy task for me, however you should be careful when doing that. There is just one screw hidden under the nosepiece and the rest is just separating the different plastic elements from each other, carefully not to brake them, although the plastic used for the glasses is quite strong. After opening the glasses you need to disconnect the control board (in the left side of the glasses) as you need to work with the flexible connector cable that goes to the IR receiver, both shutters and the battery on the right. On the photo above you can see which two pins are used for the left (L) and for the right (R) shutter – two separate circuits that we need to bridge together so that both shutters will be open or closed at the same time and not change state one after another.
We need to bridge both shutters in a single loop using the left or right signaling line only depending on whether we want them to show only the left or only the right frame (left is usually used for watching in 2D). A good place to solder a wire is at the bottom part of the shutters where we can peel off a bit of the plastic covering the reveal the metal connection pad where we can solder the connecting cable.
Using a thin 30 AWG Kynar insulated wire does a great job in connecting both shutters with each other at their bottom parts so now the triggering electricity will go from the first to the second shutter and trigger them together. But we need to do one more bridge in order for the modification to work – we need to close the bridge between the two other lines used by both shutters in order for them to function as we with them to.
We need to bridge the 6th and 10th pins together by using an even thinner cable or alternatively you can use some conductive paint etc. After that we need to cover some of the pins so that they will not have contact with the electrical circuit inside the glasses depending on the left or right frame we want to be visible through the glasses from the stereo 3D content being displayed on the monitor.
Covering the 4th to 6th pins (the 5th pin is not used for anything) with a small piece of tape and preventing the pins for the right shutter to have contact with the control board we route the electricity sent to trigger the left frame through both shutters and thus we only see the left frame of the stereo 3D content being displayed.
If we cover the 10th to 12th pins (the 11th is not used for anything) with a piece of tape we prevent the contact of the pins used for the left shutter and thus both shutters are powered through the electricity triggering the right shutter only. The result as expected is that the viewer wearing the glasses only sees the right frame from the stereo 3D content being shown on the display.
You should not cover both the pins for the left and right eye, not you should leave both of them to have full contact in the electrical circuit after applying this modification as the glasses will not function either way and there is even a possibility of actually damaging then this way! So you should leave either the left or the right set of pins to have contact with the control board depending if you want the glasses to show only the left or only the right frame from the stereo 3D content being displayed. And again a word of warning as this modification will void the warranty of the 3D Vision glasses as well as it might lead to damage to them if you are not careful enough, so you should be extra careful if you decide to go and modify the glasses this way.

Great time
Had a few mishaps but it was all part of the experience and we really enjoy it. Both lilly and Doni were excellent very friendly and helpful at all times.
And santika room is better than marriott. Bigger more and more food just lacking english abit but still better than marriott. Marriott more suited for western people as they can speak english better and have more generic western food for breakfast. Rooms much much smaller
Hope to see you again soon
Amazing trip. Thanks a lot to Belitungisland.com.
We are so happy with your superb and professional services, and impressed indeed with the beautiful Belitung island, friendly people, and delicious foods.

The $66 million effort launched six months ago has so far come up with work for 257 Ohioans, and three-quarters are earning $10 or less.
Ohio's effort to find jobs for welfare recipients has fallen short, according to new report.
A $66 million program launched six months ago has so far come up with work for 257 Ohioans, and three-quarters are earning $10 an hour or less. Of that number, just five were still employed after 90 days.
And half of the state's 20 regional workforce boards trying to make placements have found no one a job, according to The Columbus Dispatch, which reported on the Jan. 24 summary by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.
The Ohio Works Incentive Program was intended to help people get from welfare to work, but state officials acknowledge that initial results are underwhelming.
"It is a small group, but it is a very hard-to-serve group and it is a group that needs intensive and long-term assistance to move out of poverty and stay out of poverty," said Benjamin Johnson, spokesman for the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. "That's why the program was set up, to create incentives for placing people in jobs and keeping them in jobs."
John Trott, executive director of the Area 7 Workforce Investment Board based in Springfield that serves 43 counties, said getting people from welfare to work is a challenge. Welfare recipients tend to need a lot of support and case-management services to deal with an array of issues, he said.
Ohio's welfare rolls have plunged to record lows but poverty persists. Three-year limits for cash assistance along with stepped-up enforcement of work and training requirements pushed many off the rolls even though they had not gotten a job. Those remaining face many obstacles to employment.

Dodgers Caravan: Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles
February 3, 2010
My recap of the Dodgers Caravan that was held at Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles in Los Angeles.
I've never been here before. This was new for me. Me and my Twin Bro got there around 11am. Not many fans from the start.
About an hour later, employees of the Dodgers gave instructions on how things were going to work. He said to put down your name on the waiting list and you will be called to come inside and eat. The Dodgers were going to get there around 12:30pm and they were going to eat first for about an hour and then walk around the tables and meet the fans. I wasn't too hungry but I had no choice.
A buddy told me that he was there since 9am. He ate breakfast and said Lady Gaga was there. I guess many celebritites stop by at this eatery. You won't believe who stopped by later. I'll tell you shortly.
The Dodgers came.
Ramon Troncoso !
Ken Gurnick !
Matt Kemp ! (Rihanna didn't want to eat Chicken and Waffles)
Fernando "El Toro" Valenzuela !
and many more... I missed a couple of other guys...
They went inside and we were still outside waiting for the staff to call us. They did shortly after this. We sat down. I ate scrambled eggs and toasted bread.
While we were eating, I heard fans saying they saw Barry Bonds. A couple of them went outside to see if it was true. Of course, I also did...
Well what do you know? It's true.
Barry Bonds !
Looks like Mr. Bonds wanted to eat some Chicken and Waffles. He didn't know there was many Dodger fans inside the building. Fans came out and asked for his autograph. Believe it or not, he did sign. He was in a good mood (I'm not kidding) until a fan gave him a ball and told him "In the sweet spot"
Wow. I guess he's a rookie. I shook my head. Another fan by my side looked at him and whispered "Are you nuts?" I knew what was going to happen next.
Bonds snapped. He said "You don't say that to me"
Bonds then said "I'm leaving, I got to go" "Giants in 2010 bebeeee"
I managed to barely get my face into this shot.
It was one of the most interesting two minutes of my life. Bonds, one of the most controversial sports figures right next to me.
Let me tell you a quick story. This is the second time I met Bonds. The other time was a long time ago (I'd say around 1995) at Dodger Stadium. Dodger Coach Manny Mota was interviewing him for his daily radio show that he does for the Spanish network. We had a friend that knew Mota and what not, let us in early. I don't remember much about the encounter but when the interview was over me and my brother asked him for his autograph. He did it. I know he did it because he didn't want to look bad in front of Mota.
But on Wednesday he was alone. He could of blew off everyone and act like a jerk the way he used to do it with the media. But he didn't. Well not until that one fan got him angry.
After this show, I went back inside the restaurant. I was still amazed that Bonds was there. Poor guy, he didn't get his Chicken and Waffles. I'm sure he left because he didn't want to get "attacked" by the Blue fans.
So we ate and the players kept eating and eating and eating. I'm serious. They were eating for about 80 minutes.
Finally they came out and it was a bit of a chaos. Matt Kemp didn't come to our section. But these guys did.
Jimmy Campanis
James McDonald
Other guys that signed for me were Fernando Valenzuela and Steve Yeager. I might be missing someone...
Ben Platt, who works for Dodgers.com came to our table and said hello. Then he recognized me and said "I like your blog!"
I felt embarrased. Platt said he likes my blog! How cool is that?
I asked for a picture and he said "Yeah now you're going to blog it huh?" and I said "Maybe" :)
Sorry Ben.
He was really nice. He also gave us two Dodger ticket vouchers. Thanks Ben!
Let me see if I get the names correct... Big shout out to Rio, Emma, Jonathan, David, Lorena and Lisa. Sorry if I missed someone. Thanks for reading!
Next stop... Olvera Street. I will try my best to post that story with pictures and a video (Matt Kemp!) tomorrow evening.

amazing. you are everywhere boy! I can't believe it. Barry Bonds.
You were being sarcastic when you said "Poor Bonds" Right ! ??????

Ah you got me :)
Yes, I was being sarcastic about "Poor Bonds" I mean he wasn't going to go inside and eat in front of all those Dodger fans. One more thing, I asked him if he was going to eat and he denied it.
Yeah sure, you just parked your car there and got out to just stretch and then sign some autographs and leave. Ha !

Barry Bonds? I know he lives in the L.A. area but what a coincidence that he went there while a Dodger event was going on.

I like how the Roscoes manager's there in the background getting in on the action with his camera phone. I work in the restaurant business and your manager's gotta show more class than that to celebrity customers outside your place.

Yes, that was the Manager. Not a really good move by him. Imagine if higher management sees this blog. He's fired?

how is the sweet spot comment so offensive to bonds, please explain. I am long time baseball fan and sweet spot to me is when the the ball hits the sweet part of the bat. It must have some steroid meaning. so what gives?
- February 7, 2010 at 9:23 AM
- Greg Zakwin said...
RC- Signing on the sweet spot increases the ball's value.
Roberto: Big League Stew and Deadspin links, congrats.
- February 7, 2010 at 10:12 AM
- Roberto Baly said...
You are right about the sweet spot. Just gives more value to the ball.
- Yeah I saw that on deadspin. It's funny reading their comments.

- Happy Jack said...
Great Blog,
My first time here. I was surprised that asking someone to sign on the sweet spot was such a big deal. Sure glad Vinny didn't get upset when I asked him to sign there at Pac Bell a few years ago. I didn't even have to ask Dave Niehaus for a sweet spot autograph, he just did it.
- February 7, 2010 at 1:54 PM
- Roberto Baly said...
Hi Happy Jack, most of them don't mind if you ask them but the Superstars can get offended. They know that it brings more value to the ball. So they think you are going to sell that autograph.
- February 7, 2010 at 2:35 PM
- Steve Sax said...
Nice job Roberto, we linked to your post this morning. Way to go!

4th Annual Mardi Gras Fundraiser
Teen Leaders from across the North Shore YMCA Service area will make their 4th trip to New Orleans, Louisiana to assist in rebuilding efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina disaster. Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans on August 29, 2005. and though many years have passed since Katrina destroyed most of New Orleans and its neighboring communities, there's still work to be done to bring this area back to "normal".
"The devastation is vast, even years later", explains Rick Doucette, Executive Director of Teen and Camp Services at the Cape Ann YMCA. "This is a tremendous opportunity for local teens to help make a profound and lasting difference in the lives of people who so desperately need a helping hand." Travel, lodging and meal expenses are estimated at $1,100 per youth. Our hope is to fully fund each teen's trip through a collaborative effort with local donors and businesses doing events over the next couple months. The Latitude 43 event is in its 4th year, and, like the trip itself, and has become a high point of our year; kicking off our fundraising efforts in preparation for the trip."
"The event has been a big success for the teens raising travel money in past years. And it's become a very important part of our connection to the community", said Zak Sears, General Manager of Latitude 43 and Minglewood Tavern. "Even our music this year is locally based and totally donated. The guys from The Runaround are my friends and a few are my cousins. So when I asked them to help out, they agreed without hesitation. This is Gloucester".
The teen participants are involved in the preparations as much as they are the actual mission. Dressed in Mardi Gras costumes, handing out beads and selling raffle tickets the night of is only part of their commitment to the success of their trip. Teens are credited for all of the in-kind (raffle item) donations they secure for the event.
"We believe this should be a team effort, and that the kids learn as much from having to work for their trip as they do in actually going to New Orleans," Doucette explains. "And by soliciting their own raffle items, they are reaching out within their own circles to build awareness for the trip and for the importance of our work in Louisiana. These teens really get so much throughout the process to the end of the journey; their feedback in our Trip Reflections always show amazing insight and gratitude."
Other events to support Y Teens Rebuild New Orleans IV include: A concert at the historic Larcom Theater in Beverly featuring Henri Smith and Charles Neville on February 8th, 50% of ticket sales will be donated to the trip. Charles Neville is a Grammy winner and Henri Smith is both an incredible entertainer and a New Orleans native. The theater is a piece of history and the night will be one to remember. Tickets available throughwww.gimmesound.com
Event Details
Special supplemental "Big Easy" Menu available throughout both Latitude 43 and Minglewood for both lunch and dinner.
Live Entertainment in Minglewood Tavern from 7:30-10:30PM provided by:
The Runaround - Local Ska sensations
Reservations for dinner in the Latitude 43 Dining Room strongly recommended. Lunch reservations in Lat43 also available. Minglewood Tavern is first-come, first-serve.
Latitude 43 Restaurant & Bar
25 Rogers Street Gloucester, Massachusetts 01930 Phone: 978-281-0223
There will also be Raffles for Goods and Services, a 50/50 Raffle and other events planned throughout the evening.
As they say in New Orleans, "Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler". Let the good times roll......

I'm not sure why a 5 year old would want it, but have you heard about this ruling?
A federal judge ruled Friday that the morning-after pill, known by its brand name of Plan B, should be available without a prescription or any age or point-of-sale restrictions within 30 days. (source)
With the drug having become available over the counter, the judge ruled that the FDA had overstepped it's mandate, which had only to do with determining the safety of drugs. They have no mandate to set age limits or set standards for the sale of safe drugs.
Anyway, the question here is directed at the parents among us, and especially those with children at or approaching an age when sexual activity potentially begins. Do you have any mixed feelings about this? Do you feel that up to a certain age (16? 18?) children should at least have to see a physician before obtaining them? Not to talk them out of abortion but at least to discuss the medical issues (potential exposure to STD's, side effects, etc.).
Please identify yourself as a non-parent when you comment, if that is the case.

See, there you go. Taking your argument to the extreme and holding up an extreme example to advance it. I'm not even going to speculate on why you mentioned condoms not being ingested. The plan b is not the first line of defense in unwanted pregnancy. You would do better to be advocating for more indepth sex-ed. Young girls misuse all kinds of stuff, along with everyone else. Education is the key, not prohibition. And comparing taking regular birth control pills with a single pill in case of an accident or poor judgement is not way to advance your argument either. I read a few of your posts on the thread with the islam girl and battling with Korsan..you might do well to remove some emotion from your thoughts. It seems to cloud your sense of reason.
Ok so I don't even think you know what part of your argument I was disagreeing with you about so with that lets just agree that education is the primary key. .
Parent: I have open, relaxed conversations with both my children about sex. I knew who the first girl was that my son kissed, the first time he thought of sleeping with someone ect. As parents we are the ones that need to educate our children, dope is illegal but how many young children us it. And children have sex, in SA it is not strange to see girls as young as 11 pregnant. You can not buy a car on your own name before you are 21 but age 11 you can go to court and sign off on your baby for adoption without parental consent. We live in a world full of things that can have a negative impact on our children, I keep my communication open so that they can come to me and feel comfortable in doing so. Both my children know about STD, pregnancy ect. My 15 year old daughter just did a speach at school about pregnancy and the 3 choises you have to make and the impact of those. She went to the shop and drew up a monthly budget of what it would cost to take care of a baby, plus a day mother ect. She ended with this. If you are old enough to be sexualy active you have to ask yourself are you ready to take the responsability that goes with it. She also aded HIV figures of girls under 18.
Another pat me on the head post. Okay, you're a good parent, but what about other children out there who aren't lucky enough to have Jorita as a parent?
Unseen, Jorita is in South Africa, so she is commenting largely from that standpoint. I'm used to your 'devils advocate' position, but Jorita is letting us know her thoughts from her culture's standpoint.
Most of the posters here are American. The law you are discussing is an American one. Do you only want American opinions? Oh and I am a non-parent, thanks to the invention of contraception and its free availability to me when I was young and trying to get rid of my lesbian tendencies by having sex with guys.
In the UK we try to get as many contraceptives as we can, out to as many people as we can. If you're having sex, you're up to getting post-sex pills. If you're planning to have regular sex, you can get the contraceptive pill free, without your parents knowing. Education about contraception is taught in schools, and by some parents - the rest learn from their mates.
If contraceptives had been harder to acquire, perhaps I would be addressing you as a parent, but thankfully I'm not.
South Africa? In these parts SA means South America!
Being a parent changes one's attitudes on some things. One feels a custodial concern for one's charges. Also, under the law you are responsible for them and for what they do. The kids don't like to hear that, but I found it to be a conversation stopper when my daughter wanted to try her wings a bit earlier on than I felt she was ready for.
Being a parent changes one's attitudes on some things
No, being a responsible parent changes one's attitudes on some things.
Also, you say stopped your daughter trying her wings too early. Do you think you would not have been able to do this if the 'morning after' pill had been easily available over the counter? Were you depending on her fear of pregnancy?.
If the 'morning after' pill had been legally available over the counter, I believe you would have had exactly the same effect on your daughter as you did without its accessibility.
[edited to add that "these parts" is the internet]
RE: "South Africa? In these parts SA means South America!" - I suspect that depends on which hemisphere you live in.
Yes I did not think that you would also have the SA thing but yes for me that would be South Africa
Every once in a while an Aussie will write "WA" and a lot of us think that's Washington State (the postal abbreviation for which is WA) when in fact it's Western Australia. Rather different places! The Canadian and US postal services, at least, made sure none of the abbreviations overlap between the two countries. (This was a challenge for Manitoba, only one of the possible two letter abbreviations for Manitoba wasn't in use for a US state (MB), any other letter for the second letter would conflict with Massachusetts, Minnesota, Michigan, Montana or Missouri. We've got a lot of M states here.)
In the US, there are too many M states, just as there are too many A continents.
So, like the US, Aussies divide their country/continent up into compass halves and quarters (S, N, E, W, SE, SW, NE, NW)? In the US there's a little confusion as to where one defines the border between E and W. Is it the Mississippi River or is it the Rocky Mts? One hears both "East of the Rockies" and "West of the Mississippi" used as though they are meaningful dividing lines. Are there such geographical boundaries in common parlance over there in Aussieland?
