Last night I followed the guide and everything worked great! I woke up this morning and put another game on the HDD and both games now give me a black screen. I tried deleting the second game as I knew the first worked fine, still a black screen. I read the first six pages of the thread to see if my issue came up and found nothing and as much as I would like to say that I read all 192 pages of the thread to find a solution I did not. Any help is greatly appreciated and I also appreciate this guide as my Wii disc drive is super loud and this has allowed me to play my GC games again without the annoyance of a loud drive.
UPDATE: After much fiddling and doing the same things over and over...it worked again and works fine now...not sure what that was about but hurray, I can play games again.

You could use wbfs2fat, it does not delete the wii games you will not lose any games, I use it and I did not lose any games and the wii games and HB stuff all work perfect after and it is very fast wbfs2fatpy. If you use wbfs2fat you will have to check your cluster size, sometimes its FAT32 with 64KB cluster size.
Use Acronis Disk Director 11 Advanced to check: right click your disk/change cluster size/current cluster size:
I use Acronis Disk Director 11 Advanced to check my hard drive cluster size and it was 64KB so I change it to 32KB and I did not lose any data and it is also very quick. I only recommend Acronis and wbfs2fat because no data loss if you use any other HDD program you will have to back up all data. You could leave it at 64KB if it is for wii games, only change it if you want to use it for GC games also. If you keep it at 64KB then you could change both partition to logical and then change the FAT32 with 32KB cluster to primary 1st plus active and then the other FAT32 with 64KB cluster partition to primary so the FAT32 with 32KB cluster is the 1st partition (USB1) and the other partition is 2nd partition (USB2). If you decide to merge two FAT32 partition together it may take a long time but one FAT32 partition HDD is recommended for the Wii, but is optional.
Also delete the CFG file in GX app after.
It's late over here will check back tomorrow.

I have used wiiflow, config usb loader and usb gx and i can't get gamecube games to load.
I follow the instructions for wiiflow and it just launches the DVD drive it doesnt load wii or gamecube games.
USB GX will load and play wii games but i cant see gamecube games. I have tried but some of the directions do not work as i do not have the option in my usb gx. Such as i can not change the USB port and there is no option for gamecube games in the custom directory.

You are using an outdated version of USB loader GX, download r1209 and you will have all those options you say are missing now. Also you mod is a little old as well, you're cIOS 222, 223, 249 & 250 are all stubbed. Follow the soft mod any Wii guide in my signature and straighten out your soft mod before continuing with this guide.Originally Posted by Ilovemymac
Great thanks will work on this and then go from there
Ok did the guide. now wiiflow sees the gamecube games but when i click on play it just wants to save it to the SD card but it will not see the wii games which it did before.
USB loader GX sees the wii games but not the gamecube games no matter what i try.
So i am really at a loss now as to what is the issue. Thanks for the help.
1.Is it absolutely important that I have a 32 cluster size on my HDD? SO much that GC games won't work?
2.Would this make Wii games load better?
3.How do I fix the cluster size, do I gotta backup and format my whole HDD? I formatted it with EASEUS before, but didn't know about choosing cluster size.
I created a txt file as you said, the file size is 5 bytes, but 64 KB on disc.
4.About backing up my data, is it unhealthy to load such a large amount of data to my PC hard drive, even if I'm going to delete it when I'm done? Or should I worry more about the work my external HDD has to do while backing up and restoring the files, making it hot?
Last edited by MattAkiyama; 03-11-2013 at 08:06 PM.
Yes it is from what i understand GC games will not load on anything other then 32K cluster. your cluster size is 64K according to your txt file.
2) No, not really.
3) There are programs that will convert to 32k clusters without a reformat, but I've never used one. Look through this thread and you should see it. I think it starts with an A. Worse case scenario, you can use Easeus to reformat (which will wipe the drive, do back things up first). Don't remove the partition and make a new one. That will default to 64k with no option to change. Choose Format, then you can set the cluster size.
4) That's what hard drives are for. I upgraded my Wii hard drive from 256GB to 1.5TB and my Apple's external drive from 1TB to 3TB, both from being full. I connected both hard drives to a computer and let the data dump commence. It took hours to move that TB of data over, but it did it without a problem.
If you have the room on another hard drive somewhere, I think it's better to back up the data and move it back when done vs. trying to rebuild the wheel, but that's your choice.

Fudge Crinkles:
You will need: 1 (18 1/4 ounce) box devil's food cake mix (Betty Crocker Super Moist suggested), 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and confectioners' sugar or granulated sugar, for rolling.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Hand stir dry cake mix, oil and eggs in a large bowl until dough forms. Dust hands with confectioners' sugar and shape dough into 1.5" balls. Let rolled balls set aside for a few minutes to "dry" so sugar sticks better. Then roll balls in confectioners' sugar and place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until center is JUST SET. Remove from pans after a minute or so and cool on wire racks. Yield: 30-48 cookies.
Walnut Crescents:
You will need:1/2 cup walnuts, ground fine; 2 tablespoons plus 1 cup confectioners' sugar,1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into 24 pieces. You can also substitute pecans for walnuts and get the same nutty effect for this cookie.
In a food processor, blend walnuts (or pecans) and 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar until finely chopped, then blend together with flour, and salt, pulsing until combined. Add the butter and blend. Form dough into ball, flatten slightly, and chill, wrapped in wax paper, for at least 2 hours or overnight. Roll walnut-size pieces of dough on lightly floured surface into ropes about 1/3 inch thick, cut the ropes into 2 1/2-inch lengths, and roll the ends lightly to narrow them. Bend the lengths to form crescents, arrange the crescents about 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets, and bake them in batches in the middle of a preheated 350F oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are pale golden. While each batch of the crescents is baking, sift enough of the confectioners' sugar into a jelly-roll pan to cover the bottom. While the crescents are still warm, transfer them carefully with a metal spatula to the pan and sift some of the remaining confectioners' sugar over them. Let the cookies cool completely before transferring them to storage tins.
Lemon Angel Wings
You will need: 1/4 cups all-purpose flour; 1 cup cold butter, cubed; 1/2 cup sour cream; 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel; and 10 tablespoons sugar, divided.
Place flour in a large bowl; cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in sour cream and lemon peel until well blended. Place on a piece of waxed paper; shape into a 4 1/2 inch square. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Cut dough into four 2 1/4 - inch squares. Place one square on a piece of waxed paper sprinkled with 2 tablespoons sugar. Cover with another piece of waxed paper. Keep remaining squares refrigerated. Roll out dough into a 12 inch x 5 inch rectangle, turning often to coat both sides with sugar. Lightly mark center of 12 inch side. Roll up jellyroll style to the center mark, starting with a short side and peeling paper away while rolling. Repeat rolling from other short side, so the two rolls meet in the center and resemble a scroll. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate. Repeat with remaining squares, using 2 tablespoons sugar for each. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Unwrap dough and cut into 1/2 inch slices; dip each side in remaining sugar. Place 2 inches apart on foil lined baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 14 minutes or until golden brown. Turn cookies over; bake 5 minutes longer. Remove to wire racks.

Tuscarawas News Detail
Alumni Couple of Kent State's School of Journalism and Mass Communication Will Host First Wedding at New HotelPosted Jul. 26, 2013
A Kent State University student media "power couple" will make local history as the first to be married in the Kent State University Hotel and Conference Center on July 26.
Nate Sargent, '09, and Sadie Kelly, '10, met on the second floor of Franklin Hall in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. The pair could be found in the business office of the Daily Kent Stater late in the afternoon, after all of their peers had abandoned the room for the evening. She was working on the Classified section of the paper as the Classified Account Executive, and he was manning the phones as the Sales Manager.
For Halloween one year, Sargent and his lifelong friend, college roommate and best man Tim Magaw, '09, decided to get in the spirit by dressing up as women. They met up with Kelly and her friend and bridesmaid Kelly Pickerel, '09, to celebrate.
"They both had beards, too," Kelly said, laughing. "They were the ugliest women I'd ever seen. It's usually pretty hard to get guys into Halloween; they usually half-ass a costume. It was kind of refreshing to see a guy get into it."
After "hanging out" a few times after Halloween, Sargent and Kelly began dating, but decided to keep it quiet in the Stater office. When the couple finally announced they had been dating just before Sargent graduated, students and faculty were excited by the news. Both Student Media Manager Lori Cantor and Student Media Advertising Manager Tami Bongiorni expressed their surprise at the couple's announcement.
"I was definitely shocked, but pleasantly surprised," Cantor said. "This isn't the first couple to come out of the Stater office."
After she graduated, Kelly moved back to her hometown of Pittsburgh, and the couple commuted to see each other. Two years later, she moved back to the Kent area, and Sargent proposed.
"Sadie is the boldest bride," said Samantha Lingenfelter, '10, a college friend and Stater coworker of the couple. "They weren't going to get married until 2014, but she called about the new Kent Hotel, and they said they had an opening in July. She did all this before the hotel building even opened."
The Kent State University Hotel and Conference Center opened June 14, and Sargent and Kelly's will be the first wedding to take place there. When Kelly booked the date of the wedding, the hotel hadn't even selected an opening date yet.
"Everyone sort of thought I was crazy," Kelly said. "But the hotel is just absolutely beautiful. It couldn't have turned out any better."
Friends and family are excited for the bride and groom and can't wait to be part of Kent State history.
"We've all graduated from Kent State, so it's great to be part of the hotel's history," Pickerel said.
"We were all excited when we heard they were engaged, but when we heard they were going to be the first couple to be married at the hotel, we were even more excited," Cantor said.
Like the couple, the wedding is unique and will incorporate many local vendors and traditions. Instead of having a traditional wedding cake for dessert at the reception, the couple will serve pie.
"Nate loves pie," Lingenfelter explained. "Neither of them is very fond of cake, so they're bringing in like 30 [Gardner Pie Company] pies.
"Pie is a special dessert for the couple. Kelly was in Ireland one Thanksgiving while the couple was dating, so Sargent promised to make her a whole Thanksgiving meal when she returned.
"I think he realized that was a really big commitment, making a whole Thanksgiving dinner, so he made me a homemade pumpkin pie instead. I love pumpkin pie, and it was delicious. That's a sign of a good future husband right there," Kelly joked.
Sargent's mother is also baking cookies for a cookie table, a tradition for weddings in Kelly's hometown area. According to Kelly, she's been baking for months in preparation for the big event.
The wedding will also feature 50 bags of popcorn from Popped! as well as photography from Carman & Pugh, both located in Acorn Alley II in downtown Kent.
More than the wedding, friends and family are looking forward to Sargent and Kelly spending the rest of their lives together.
"There's a whole group of us who have known each other since kindergarten, so we have a more brotherly relationship than friendship," Magaw said. "None of the rest of us are married yet, so we're excited to be adding a sister to the group."
"They're both so feisty and fun," Bongiorni said. "They're a good fit."

Mac apps will crash without fail due to simple case-sensitive URL detection bug February 4, 2013 at 3:15 pm
For the longest time, one of Apple's most prominent slogans for OS X was "It just works," which was actually true to some degree, as many people view Apple's operating systems as hassle-free. However, as Macs became more prominent, things began to just work a little less. Case in point, an eight-character URL detection flaw that pretty easily crashes Mountain Lion apps.

Within /proc and /sys there are a lot of subdirectories, which carry pseudofiles with only one value as content. Instead of cat-ing all single files (which takes quite a time) or do a "cat *" (which makes it hard to find the filename/content relation), just grep recursively for . or use "grep . /blabla/*" (star instead of -r flag).
For better readability you might also want to pipe the output to "column -t -s : ".
If you are doing some tests which require reboots (e. g. startup skripts, kernel module parameters, ...), this is very time intensive, if you have got a hardware with a long pre-boot phase due to hardware checks.
At this time, kexec can help, which only restarts the kernel with all related stuff.
First the kernel to be started is loaded, then kexec -e jumps up to start it.
Is as hard as a reboot -f, but several times faster (e. g. 1 Minute instead of 12 on some servers here).
The initial version of this command also outputted extra empty lines, so it went like this:
This happened on Ubuntu, i haven't tested on anything else.
and, a lot uglier, with sed:
ifconfig | sed -n '/inet addr:/s/[^:]\+:\(\S\+\).*/\1/p'
Wanted to be shorter than the perl version. Still think that the perl version is the best..
Get the IP address of all your network cards.
Fetches the IPs and ONLY the IPs from ifconfig. Simplest, shortest, cleanest.
Perl is too good to be true...
(P.S.: credit should go to Peteris Krumins at catonmat.net)
Instead of calculating the offset and providing an offset option to mount, let lomount do the job for you by just providing the partition number you would like to loop mount.
for i in $@; do
if [ "$1" != "$i" ]
echo /newInstall/gem install $1 -v=\"$i\"
/newInstall/gem install $1 -v="$i"
if [ "$?" != "0" ]
echo -e "\n\nGEM INSTALL ERROR: $1\n\n"
echo "$1" > gemInst.err
This command displays a clock on your terminal which updates the time every second. Press Ctrl-C to exit.
A couple of variants:
A little bit bigger text:
watch -t -n1 "date +%T|figlet -f big"
You can try other figlet fonts, too.
Big sideways characters:
watch -n 1 -t '/usr/games/banner -w 30 $(date +%M:%S)'
This requires a particular version of banner and a 40-line terminal or you can adjust the width ("30" here).
will show:
installed linux headers, image, or modules: /^ii/!d
avoiding current kernel: /'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/d
only application names: s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/
avoiding stuff without a version number: /[0-9]/!d
will purge:

using app names: s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/
avoiding stuff without a version number: /[0-9]/!d
Using the grep command, retrieve all lines from any log files in /var/log/ that have one of the problem states
With this command you can get a previous or future date or time. Where can you use this? How about finding all files modified or created in the last 5 mins?
touch -t `echo $(date -d "5 minute ago" "+%G%m%d%H%M.%S")` me && find . -type f -newer me
List all directories created since last week?
touch -t `echo $(date -d "1 week ago" "+%G%m%d%H%M.%S")` me && find . -type d -cnewer me
I'm sure you can think of more ways to use it. Requires coreutils package.
This will issue a shutdown command to the Windows machine. username must be an administrator on the Windows machine. Requires samba-common package installed. Other relevant commands are:
net rpc shutdown -r : reboot the Windows machine
net rpc abortshutdown : abort shutdown of the Windows machine
net rpc
to show all relevant commands
Really only valuable in a PHP-only project directory. This is using standard linux versions of the tools. On most older BSD variants of sed, use -E instead of -r. Or use: sed 's/\+[[:space:]]\{1,\}//' instead.
change 24073 to your pid
From time to time one forgets either thier gpg key or other passphrases. This can be very problematic in most cases. But luckily there's this script. Its based off of pwsafe which is a unix commandline program that manages encrypted password databases. For more info on pwsafe visit, http://nsd.dyndns.org/pwsafe/.
What this script does is it will help you store all your passphrases for later on and allow you to copy it to your clipboard so you can just paste it in, all with one password. Pretty neat no?
You can find future releases of this and many more scripts at The Teachings of Master Denzuko - denzuko.wordpress.com.

New Girl Season 2 Casting Spoiler: Jess Gets Another Adorkable Love Interest
Another day, another new love interest for Zooey Deschanel's character Jess on New Girl.
The adorkable star has already acted opposite Justin Long, Dermot Mulroney, and True Blood hunk Ryan Kwanten on the set of her hit FOX comedy. Now she's adding a few more actors to the list.
According to E! Online, Broadway star Josh Gad is set to guest star as a dorky beer delivery guy looking to win over Jess's heart in the show's season premiere. Josh, who is best known for his leading role in the hit musical Book of Mormon, will play a character called Bearclaw and will apparently only appear in one episode.
Given that David Walton is also set to appear on New Girl this season as a charming bad boy, we have a feeling that Bearclaw will have plenty of competition in winning over Jess's heart!
New Girl Season 2 premieres on Tuesday, September 25 on FOX.

PRESTONSBURG — The announced closure of the Strand Twin Theater may be averted, as a tentative buyer has stepped forward to rescue the cinema.
Owner-operator J.T. Absher said earlier this month that declining sales, as well as the upcoming industry-wide conversion to digital projector systems, had left the Strand without a viable way forward and that the theater would be closing Jan. 6. That closure, however, now may not happen.
The tentative buyer, who has asked not to be identified until the deal is final, plans to continue to keep the Strand open on an uninterrupted basis. If the deal goes through, the theater would remain open on weekends until March, then expand to seven days a week after March.
In addressing the challenge of digital conversion, the tentative buyer has already obtained one digital projector. Plans call for both screens to continue showing movies, with one showing digital movies and one showing 35 mm film.
The tentative buyer also has other plans to expand some of the offerings at the theater, including private rentals and live performances.
The deal to transfer the theater could be finished as early as later this week. The Floyd County Times will have full details of the deal, if and when it happens.

- Bacterial porin disrupts mitochondrial membrane potential and sensitizes host cells to apoptosis (2009)
- The bacterial PorB porin, an ATP-binding beta-barrel protein of pathogenic Neisseria gonorrhoeae, triggers host cell apoptosis by an unknown mechanism. PorB is targeted to and imported by host cell mitochondria, causing the breakdown of the mitochondrial membrane potential (delta psi m). Here, we show that PorB induces the condensation of the mitochondrial matrix and the loss of cristae structures, sensitizing cells to the induction of apoptosis via signaling pathways activated by BH3-only proteins. PorB is imported into mitochondria through the general translocase TOM but, unexpectedly, is not recognized by the SAM sorting machinery, usually required for the assembly of beta-barrel proteins in the mitochondrial outer membrane. PorB integrates into the mitochondrial inner membrane, leading to the breakdown of delta psi m. The PorB channel is regulated by nucleotides and an isogenic PorB mutant defective in ATP-binding failed to induce delta psi m loss and apoptosis, demonstrating that dissipation of delta psi m is a requirement for cell death caused by neisserial infection.
- Bim and Bmf synergize to induce apoptosis in Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection (2009)
- Abstract: Bcl-2 family proteins including the pro-apoptotic BH3-only proteins are central regulators of apoptotic cell death. Here we show by a focused siRNA miniscreen that the synergistic action of the BH3-only proteins Bim and Bmf is required for apoptosis induced by infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Ngo). While Bim and Bmf were associated with the cytoskeleton of healthy cells, they both were released upon Ngo infection. Loss of Bim and Bmf from the cytoskeleton fraction required the activation of Jun-N-terminal kinase-1 (JNK-1), which in turn depended on Rac-1. Depletion and inhibition of Rac-1, JNK-1, Bim, or Bmf prevented the activation of Bak and Bax and the subsequent activation of caspases. Apoptosis could be reconstituted in Bim-depleted and Bmf-depleted cells by additional silencing of antiapoptotic Mcl-1 and Bcl-XL, respectively. Our data indicate a synergistic role for both cytoskeletal-associated BH3-only proteins, Bim, and Bmf, in an apoptotic pathway leading to the clearance of Ngo-infected cells. Author Summary: A variety of physiological death signals, as well as pathological insults, trigger apoptosis, a genetically programmed form of cell death. Pathogens often induce host cell apoptosis to establish a successful infection. Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Ngo), the etiological agent of the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhoea, is a highly adapted obligate human-specific pathogen and has been shown to induce apoptosis in infected cells. Here we unveil the molecular mechanisms leading to apoptosis of infected cells. We show that Ngo-mediated apoptosis requires a special subset of proapoptotic proteins from the group of BH3-only proteins. BH3-only proteins act as stress sensors to translate toxic environmental signals to the initiation of apoptosis. In a siRNA-based miniscreen, we found Bim and Bmf, BH3-only proteins associated with the cytoskeleton, necessary to induce host cell apoptosis upon infection. Bim and Bmf inactivated different inhibitors of apoptosis and thereby induced cell death in response to infection. Our data unveil a novel pathway of infection-induced apoptosis that enhances our understanding of the mechanism by which BH3-only proteins control apoptotic cell death.
- IAP-IAP complexes required for apoptosis resistance of C. trachomatis-infected cells (2006)
- Host cells infected with obligate intracellular bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis are profoundly resistant to diverse apoptotic stimuli. The molecular mechanisms underlying the block in apoptotic signaling of infected cells is not well understood. Here we investigated the molecular mechanism by which apoptosis induced via the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor is prevented in infected epithelial cells. Infection with C. trachomatis leads to the up-regulation of cellular inhibitor of apoptosis (cIAP)-2, and interfering with cIAP-2 up-regulation sensitized infected cells for TNF-induced apoptosis. Interestingly, besides cIAP-2, cIAP-1 and X-linked IAP, although not differentially regulated by infection, are required to maintain apoptosis resistance in infected cells. We detected that IAPs are constitutively organized in heteromeric complexes and small interfering RNA-mediated silencing of one of these IAPs affects the stability of another IAP. In particular, the stability of cIAP-2 is modulated by the presence of X-linked IAP and their interaction is stabilized in infected cells. Our observations suggest that IAPs are functional and stable as heteromers, a thus far undiscovered mechanism of IAP regulation and its role in modulation of apoptosis.
- Mcl-1 is a key regulator of apoptosis resistance in Chlamydia trachomatis-infected cells (2008)
- Chlamydia are obligate intracellular bacteria that cause variety of human diseases. Host cells infected with Chlamydia are protected against many different apoptotic stimuli. The induction of apoptosis resistance is thought to be an important immune escape mechanism allowing Chlamydia to replicate inside the host cell. Infection with C. trachomatis activates the Raf/MEK/ERK pathway and the PI3K/AKT pathway. Here we show that inhibition of these two pathways by chemical inhibitors sensitized C. trachomatis infected cells to granzyme B-mediated cell death. Infection leads to the Raf/MEK/ERK-mediated up-regulation and PI3K-dependent stabilization of the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family member Mcl-1. Consistently, interfering with Mcl-1 up-regulation sensitized infected cells for apoptosis induced via the TNF receptor, DNA damage, granzyme B and stress. Our data suggest that Mcl-1 up-regulation is primarily required to maintain apoptosis resistance in C. trachomatis-infected cells.

"I like to have the illusion that I can hear that voice before I'm able to speak with that voice," he says. "I do use a little tape recorder. I talk to myself a lot. I try without thinking about it to have a sense of whether that voice belongs to me in my new life." For Plainview, "I discarded a lot of ideas that didn't work, and a lot of possibilities. Finally, I just began to hear a voice which seemed to be right. I couldn't make the sounds initially. I could hear them, but I couldn't make them." Gradually, it began to stick: The way Daniel Plainview sounds matters as much as the way he crouches down to marvel at the flames erupting out of a newly exploded well.
"We don't choose our voices," Day-Lewis says. "So within the voice, there's an expression of the very self."
"Do you really want to know about that?" Day-Lewis protests when I ask how he manages to live on set in character. He looks down at his hands and laughs. He has just been profiled in a many-thousand-word New York Times Magazine story by Lynn Hirschberg, which had Day-Lewis on the cover, smiling, nearly life-size; you could see pores. He's reluctant to "gob off" even more about himself, not out of humility or standoffishness but out of a firm conviction that there should be other things to talk about, like what's happening in Pakistan, or Gaza. But like it or not, Day-Lewis has come here to gob off, and Paramount Pictures is paying for the hotel suite, and so he complies.
But not without objections: "The odd thing about this particular period of time is that if you do what you have to do to try to encourage people to see a film you've worked very hard on, it appears, I suppose, as if you're engaged in an orgy of self-promotion. Which really wouldn't be my thing." I get that, I assure him, but still, I want to know: Did he really eat, smoke and drink as Daniel Plainview even when the cameras weren't rolling?
I should mention here that the way Daniel Day-Lewis sounds on the page, uttering these clean, neat, clearly composed sentences right off the cuff, isn't really a fair representation of how he sounds in person. There are "um"s, "ah"s and pauses so long that it's hard to resist finishing his sentences or interrupting him to get on to the next point. He comes off neither overly learned nor haughty, only obdurately sincere, always checking himself to make sure that he means what he says. He interjects the name of the person he's talking to as he speaks, as if to remind himself to treat each new interrogator lumbering through an inevitably dreary day of publicity as an individual. He brightens up when the discussion veers off filmmaking to politics, world events or California State Highway 1. "It's hard driving that coast," says the motorbike enthusiast, who drove the route recently on his way from Los Angeles to a race in Monterey. "Every 200 yards, you have to stop and drink it in."
All this affability makes it hard to believe that, as Hirschberg suggested, Day-Lewis so intimidated an actor on the There Will Be Blood set that Anderson had to replace him with Paul Dano halfway into the 60-day shoot. Day-Lewis seems confused by the story. "When Lynn mentioned that to me, I was genuinely surprised," he says. "I didn't believe it. I'd be very, very sorry if that were true. It appalled me to think that it might be true. It would never be my intention. Apart from everything else, it would be self-defeating to intimidate a colleague I was working with. No matter what the rivalry is, even if it's murderous between those two characters, you're in a partnership, you're in a dance of some kind. And it's absolutely vital that you work together."
It is true that the actor originally cast in the role of the young evangelical preacher Eli Sunday was recast two months into shooting. But Day-Lewis rejects the idea that his process caused the trouble. "I suppose I always hope there's some sort of tacit understanding between myself and my colleagues that I work the way I do," he admits. "I don't expect them to work in the same way. I don't mind what way they work in to arrive at what they're trying to arrive at, as long as it doesn't interfere with me. And I really try not to interfere with them in any way, and only ever encourage them to do what they need to do to find that thing."
When I initially let the topic go, he brings the conversation back. "Just to return to that question," he says, "[the article] also kind of suggested that Leo [DiCaprio, on Gangs of New York] felt the same way about me, and I just don't think that's true. Leo is a very strong, independent, serious actor. He's wonderful. And he knows how it works. He may not have liked me during that time, I don't know. We get on very, very well. I'm very fond of him. I've never discussed it with him. He never suggested to me that I was making his life difficult in any way. And I don't think I was."

You want to go to college, but you're not sure what to major in. That's OK. You're far from alone.
Many high school graduates are just like you – interested in pursuing a college education but undecided on a major. Here at Lakeland College, we'll be right by your side while you discover your interests and explore potential careers. There's no rush to make a decision on your major. We are committed to helping you choose your direction – at a pace you're completely comfortable with.
"Some schools want you to have everything figured out at 17 or 18, in some cases before you've even set foot on campus," says Joshua Kutney, Assistant Professor of Composition at Lakeland. "But at Lakeland, we know that's not always the case. We support that important time of exploration that many students need."
Experience various disciplines
During your first year at Lakeland, academic advisors like Kutney will be working closely with you to help you make a decision on a major. By the second year, students have a pretty good idea what they want to major in.
"But it's not an ultimatum," Kutney stresses. "By then, we've really connected with you and we've exposed you to different courses and ideas. We're not going to twist your arm, but most students have decided by the beginning of their sophomore year what direction they'd like to go."
While you're figuring out which academic path you'd like to take, you'll continue to strengthen your core competencies in areas such as communication, critical thinking and problem solving. That's the foundation of our liberal arts approach to education, and it's important to employers.
Snapshot of Success
Name: Benjamin Duenas
Hometown: Shiocton, Wis.
Title: Graduate student, counseling
Grad School: Lakeland College
Some high school seniors know exactly what career path they want to take before they even choose a college. But some don't.
"I did fairly well in high school, but other people in my class were so smart and knew exactly what they wanted to do," recalls Ben. "I didn't know what I wanted to do. Fortunately, all of the great teaching at Lakeland College helped me out so much."
Ben entered Lakeland on the undecided track before eventually choosing criminal justice as his major and psychology as his minor. He's currently a graduate student at Lakeland, and is about a year away from earning his master's degree in counseling. He knows now that he wants to be a psychotherapist and help families.
Looking back on how he grew and found his direction through Lakeland's undecided program, Ben says it was the perfect game plan for him. He also believes the liberal arts education he received has made him "much more well-rounded" than a lot of people he knows.
As for all the high school graduates out there who just aren't sure what they want to do for a living, Ben says the undecided track is a great way to begin their college journey.
"Come in open-minded," he says. "Don't doubt yourself just because you don't know. Have confidence. If you go to Lakeland, it's all going to work out. The faculty, the professors, they will guide you. Come in with an open mind and be ready to work hard, and success will come to you."
Undecided at Lakeland
The young man's name is Adam, and his story is not uncommon. The first time he approached Kutney for guidance, during enrollment, Adam had no idea what academic path he wanted to travel down.
"He asked me if I could help him pick the easiest classes," recalls Kutney. "I said to him, 'Young man, there are no more easy classes.' His mother and father chuckled, and they appreciated that I had let their son know expectations at Lakeland are high."
Kutney worked closely with Adam, who began his journey as an undecided student before choosing a criminal justice major. Four years after that initial meeting, Adam visited Kutney in his office – to say thanks and goodbye. Adam was graduating.
"He had really excelled, and he was wearing a tie when he visited me," Kutney recalls. "He had really grown, in an environment where people took his learning seriously and provided him with support in a safe, nurturing environment. He had really blossomed."

Well, I have been out of martial arts for a couple of years now and I am starting to get the itch again. I have a connection who teaches Muay Thai and I am very interested in starting. I also want to get my 10 year old into it as well.
Here is my question...I am 34. Am I too old to start out fresh? I am really athletic, in good shape, workout out 5 days a week already, etc....I don't feel my age but I don't want to be the "old man" in class either. I have a background in BJJ with just a beginning in Muay Thai in the past. What do you guys think? Is age really an issue? I'm not planning on any competitions....just fueling my interests in martial arts, love being healthy, and would be nice to have that for self defense.

Bouncing back
2014-08-04 00:00:00
These 5 players are poised for big bounce back years
With another season of college football set to kick off at the end of the month, it will mark the return of several players from injury. Many of these players figure to be key cogs in their teams' successes on the field this season.
After missing most or all of last year, many could be headed for breakout seasons as well.
Here are five guys who will help their teams after missing most of last year.
QB Jameill Showers, UTEP- The man who almost prevented the Johnny Football Era in College Station missed the final six games of the season after dislocating his right shoulder in the Miners' 45-7 loss against Rice. After losing the starting job and transferring from A&M two years ago, Showers stepped right in at UTEP to throw for over 1,200 yards and 11 touchdowns until the Rice game. If he returns to top form, Showers will be a magician in the pocket for the Miners this season.
QB David Ash, Texas- Getting an experienced signal-caller back from injury will only help Texas, as Ash will be a key player in the Longhorns' climb back from a disappointing season. Ash, who missed 10 games because of persistent post-concussion symptoms, has won the support of the Texas coaching staff after a strong string of spring practices. The jury is still out as to whether it will be him, sophomore dual-threat Tyrone Swoopes or the true freshman from Denton Guyer, Jerrod Heard starting games at the end of the season, but the Belton, Texas native definitely has something to prove this season.
WR Ricky Seals-Jones, Texas A&M- The redshirt freshman wide out will come off of a knee injury sustained on the first touchdown reception of his college career against Rice. Seals-Jones, who has been compared to former receiving threat Mike Evans, has the speed and 6-foot-5 frame to be a dangerous tool in the Aggies' offense this season.
LB Jordan Hicks, Texas- Hicks was the defensive quarterback at the middle linebacker position for Texas Unfortunately for the Longhorns, he tore ACL dropping back in pass coverage against Kansas State ended his season. This season will be a trial for the Longhorns defense under new leadership in new defensive coordinator Vance Bedford, which means Hicks will be the glue that holds the unit together.
FS J.J. Gaines, Texas Tech- Gaines was on his way to posting solid numbers last season when a mid-season shoulder injury ended his sophomore campaign in Lubbock. Now a junior, the Irving Nimitz product will anchor a depleted defensive secondary that lost several key seniors in the offseason. In order to keep their place in a strong Big 12 conference, Gaines will need to be in good shape.

The law in Scotland is slightly different – see the Stonewall Scotland website. Lesbianism has never been specifically outlawed in the UK, but there have been some prosecutions for indecent assault.
On 18 November 2003, the Sexual Offences Act 2003 received Royal Assent and came into force on 1 May 2004.
The Act criminalises sexual behaviour that a person knew or ought to have known was likely to cause distress, alarm or offence to others in a public place. This includes sexual activity in public cruising and 'dogging' areas.
Although the Sexual Offences Act 2003 repeals the anti-gay sexual offences of buggery and gross indecency, there is concern regarding a new offence of 'sexual activity in a public lavatory'. Some gay men are worried that this offence will allow the police to continue stigmatising and victimising gay men in particular. During the adoption of the Sexual Offence Act 2003, Stonewall received an assurance from the Home Office that this will not be the case and the offence will be implemented in a balanced manner without targeting gay men.
There are some gay men who have been convicted under the 'gross indecency' offence for sexual acts with a man between the ages of 16 and 18 before the age of consent for gay men was lowered to 16. Now that the age of consent has been lowered and gross indecency has been removed from the statutes, those men registered as sex offenders have been contacted by the Home Office individually in order to remove their names from the sex offenders register.
From 1 October 2012 these men will be able to apply to the Home Office to have gross indecency offences, which involved sex with people over the age of 16 and did not involve sex in a public lavatory, removed from their criminal records. See details on the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 for information about the application process.
I am still a student. However, when I'm done with my biothechnology program, I will be applying to work with you for the wellbeing of those who are at a disadvantage.

Apple is claiming that the physical design of the iPad is unique enough to patent. But there is plenty of evidence that other very similar designs pre-dated the iPad by years and even decades.

An excerpt from Ram Dass' Grist for the Mill: Awakening to Oneness. For more in Dass, read "America's Guru: Ram Dass at 82" in the current issue of Tricycle. In the mid-sixties there seemed to be an expectation that if we got high, we'd be free. We were not quite realistic about the profundity of man's attachments and deep clingings. We thought that if only we knew how to get high the right way, we wouldn't come down. And that was our attempt. Then in the late sixties, there was the idea that if we joined the movement and became part of a model of how to stay high, we'd be able to do it. So in the late sixties and early seventies, there was a tremendous interest in mass movements. More »

Discovering Your True Nature: A Teaching with Andrew Holecek
As historian Arnold Toynbee once said, "death is un-American." Author and Buddhist teacher Andrew Holecek uses this quote to open "Transforming Our Greatest Obstacle into Our Greatest Opportunity," his January online retreat on forming a spiritual relationship with our own death. Holecek notes that if we approach death—our greatest obstacle and the one thing that is certain in life—with assertion and confidence, we can turn it into our greatest opportunity for spiritual progress. Watch this special introductory teaching, and be sure to check in to his retreat, available beginning January 6th, 2013. More »

Swamp Marigold
I started going to pain clinics for spinal injections and physical therapy after I was diagnosed with spinal osteoarthritis six years ago. I was given the advice to keep a pain journal to record my symptoms, and for a while I did. And it was so depressing that I started referring to my journal as Fuck This Shit. I, who had been a brick house, was, in my 40s, crumbling to bits. It certainly passes the time for the chronically ill to keep a log of symptoms, but is it healing? I have my doubts. When you have a chronic disease, you know there's going to be a Greek chorus of tragedies big and small and symptoms that pop up like Whack-A-Moles. The question is: What do you do about it? More »

What's Noble about the Four Noble Truths?
When people ask me this question, they often seem a little embarrassed, for fear that it's impolite or too obvious, but it's well worth asking. After all, the end of suffering and the path to its end might be noble, but what's noble about suffering and the craving that causes it? If anything, by attributing all suffering to craving, the truths seem to deny the possibility of noble suffering entirely. And what does it mean for a truth to be "noble" anyway? More »

Findings shed light on when the Buddha (might have) died
(RNS) Scientists have uncovered the first physical evidence showing when the great religious leader known as the Buddha passed away, a date crucial to scholars and adherents of Buddhism. Excavations in 2011 and 2012 at a site known as the Buddha's birthplace imply he died—or, more accurately, experienced his "great passing away"—in the 6th century B.C., roughly 100 years earlier than the scholarly consensus. The debate over the timing is not just academic: Buddhist countries such as Thailand use a dating system pegged to the year of the Buddha's death, and some of his prophecies imply no one will achieve enlightenment a certain number of years after his passing.

Last week, the New Yorker caught up with Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, leader of Shambhala International, to speak about human integrity, mindfulness, and the benefits of jogging. "When you're running," says Rinpoche, "there's a real sense of bringing your mind into your body and relating to what's happening." It's time to speed up that walking meditation, we guess. More »

The recent A&E premiere of Longmire—a television series based on Craig Johnson's New York Times bestselling Longmire Mystery Series—was the highest rated scripted drama in the network's history and consistently held its viewers throughout the season. Its success has readers stampeding to the bookstore, making As the Crow Flies Johnson's biggest hardcover success.
In his eighth adventure, Walt Longmire doesn't have time for criminals. His daughter is getting married in two weeks and the wedding locale arrangements have just gone up in smoke signals. He needs to find a new site for the nuptials—fast. Unfortunately, his expedition to the Cheyenne Reservation is derailed by a grisly death. It's not Walt's turf, but he's coerced into the investigation by Lolo Long, the beautiful new tribal police chief.
"A top-notch tale of complex emotions and misguided treachery… Crow is a superb novel steeped in the culture of the American West."—USA Today
"The pleasure of the series rests in Walt's narration, with its laid-back, observant, bemused recounting of events…Solid landscapes, a mélange of fully fleshed characters (familiar and new), drily laconic dialogue and assorted power struggles—including Walt's endless war with Rezdawg, Henry's recalcitrant, falling-apart truck—keep the latest in this rich and satisfying series on engaging course."—Houston Chronicle
"Walt's voice lets readers in on his gentle and wry nature, while showcasing his devotion to bringing bad guys or gals to justice…Johnson enriches his narrative by using the setting itself as another well-developed character. Johnson's Northern Cheyenne characters defy stereotype with self-depreciating humor and strength. Chief Lolo Long and Tribal Chief Lonnie Little Bird are especially well-crafted and appealing."—The Denver Post
"Johnson expertly highlights his conflicted hero's dual role as father and sheriff in this deeply satisfying installment."—Publisher's Weekly (starred review)
"All the elements his fans love are present: lively characters, easy banter, and, of course, a touch of the supernatural. In early books, Walt was less sure of himself, but, in his eighth adventure, it makes sense that he's now the one "giving sheriff lessons." This book fits the hand like a well-worn glove."—Booklist

This book was a really fun read, ESPECIALLY because it was the first thing I ever read on my Kindle. It was basically like Stephen King welcoming me to the world of owning an e-reader. I wish my Kindle had an UR function, though.
I'm still waitin' on the consarned thing to actually be released on PAPER...me and the dinosaur will enjoy readin' it...
I enjoyed it too. I kept thinking of a college professor of mine from years ago, and I found it humorous placing him in the main character's sitaution :smile2:
I still haven't read (or heard) this. I just downloaded the Amazon Kindle (in anticipation of MILE 81), though. So maybe it's time to rectify this situation...
I still have yet to either read or listen to Ur, either..
("All things serve the Beam")
Just finished listening to it. Great story.
I was browsing in my library, when I turned around, and there was the audio book. I thought "Hey, that's the book that isn't in print unless you own a Kindle." Which I don't. So Yoink! I grabbed it, and listened to it in the next couple of days. If you're on the edge about whether or not to go through the hassle of downloading the Kindle app to your computer, or of finding the audio book, the story is a fun one.
Long days and pleasant nights.
I finally got around to reading this. I thought it was a very good story. And I was surprised to learn it's associated with THE DARK TOWER. Easily recommended.
I finished listening to the story last night.
Fun is not the right word...UR is mesmerizing.
What a cool idea, and very, very, very well written. Holter Graham also did a fantastic job reading it.
IMHO, this novella is actually better than all the stories in FDNS and one of Uncle Stevie`s great masterpieces!
Hope to hear this guy do some more SK audiobooks, thought he did great.
I just finished listening to this, and I loved it. I thought it was a great short story, and of course I loved the connections to the Dark Tower.
I can tell you that Holter Graham has done at least one other SK book, because I just finished listening to it right before this one. It kept tripping me up while I listened to UR, because Graham used a VERY similar voice for Robbie and Arnie Cunningham in Christine. I kept expecting Robbie to start freaking out because of that... :smile2:

McFarland Sits In Ninth Place
- Release Date:
- January 26, 2012
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
HAMBURG, NY – On January 25th, Hilbert College's Dan McFarland became the ninth men's basketball player to break the 1,000 point scoring record.
The junior guard entered the game needing 15 points to join the special club of men who wore the blue and white before him. By half time, the lefty scored 10 points and grabbed two offensive rebounds as the Hawks found themselves down by ten points to Penn State Behrend (42-32).
Hilbert opened the second half on a 24-6 run which gave the Hawks their first lead at 13:35. During that scoring surge, McFarland was involved in seven of the ten buckets scored by the Hawks (three made baskets himself and four assists).
At 12:08, McFarland was fouled on a backdoor reverse layup sending him to the foul line to earn the traditional three-point play and his 1,000 point. His free throw rolled around the rim but somehow deflected back to his waiting hands along the baseline.
Calmly, he sank his 1,001 point. (see video here)
Behrend stole an overtime win (69-66) from the Hawks for the second time this 2011-12 season. McFarland led the Hawks with 19 points, 6 assists and 6 rebounds. Hilbert (7-4, 10-8) sits in a two-way tie for fourth place in league standings with D'Youville College (7-4). The Hawks hold the advantage having beaten the Spartans in early January.
McFarland continues his climb up the scoring ladder in an effort to reach Dallas Reinard ('04-'08), Hilbert's All-Time leading scorer, who finished his career with 1,810 points. Sitting in eight place is Jim LaValee ('96-'99) who was credited with 1,109 points.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Family members, friends, and fans traveled to Coalgate Tuesday the 11th to watch our Bearcats take on the Wildcats. In the first quarter our Bearcats started off strong with Sr. Bryce Martin shooting 60 from the field with 9 points 4 rebounds and 2 assists in the first half.
Last Tuesday night as the crowd filled the Antlers High School gymnasium the Lady Cats took the home court for the first time of the season. The Lady Cats came prepared to play and at the end of the first quarter the score was Antlers with a small lead at 16 points-Boswell 12, the Lady Scorpions were not going to quit and by the half had closed the lead to 1, as it was 27-26.
On December 6th, 7th and 8th, the Bearcats traveled to Talihina to participate in the Choctaw Nation Invitational Tournament.
The first round of play we were set to play Central, who would prove to be a team to beat as they would go on to play Rattan in the Championship round. Central won against the Bearcats with a final score of 58-59.
In the Second Round of play they were matched with the Wister Wildcats and with a 63-55 victory for the Bearcats, they advanced into the 3rd Round of play for Consolation.
Lady Cats traveled to Wilburton last Friday night for the season opener. The Lady Cats came out with a bang and thanks to 3 for 3 on three point shots by Senior Chelsi Thomas, at the end of the first quarter, the score was tied at 14-14. Both teams came to play and at the half, the Lady Diggers were up 26-23.
Marlee Williams, a Sr. at Antlers High School and daughter of David and Dorothy Williams, represented the cheerleading squad in the 2012 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City this year.
Marlee is co-captain of the Antlers High School Cheerleading Squad. Marlee was nominated to, and made, the All-American squad at Cheer Camp this past summer. Members of the All-American squad are eligible to be in the parade. There were over 700 girls representing cheerleading squads form all across the nation.
Nate Bates, 13 years old of Antlers, bagged this 8 point buck (165 lbs) while hunting with his older brother, Mike Tindell, during muzzle loader season on their property in Pushmataha County. Photo taken by proud mom, Lisa Tindell.
Following a win two weeks ago against Stigler that sent them to the playoffs, the 3rd Grade Antlers Bearcats squared off against the Wewoka Tigers last Saturday evening in Wewoka. The Bearcats received an outpouring of support from cheerleaders, parents, and fans who had traveled the 100 miles to see them play.
The Bearcats had previously played the Tigers early in the regular season, suffering a loss. But time has a way of changing things. After working hard and honing their skills all season long, the Bearcats returned, ready for a rematch….ready to win.
Mark Taylor, 10 yrs old from Moyers, killed his first 6 point deer on his first youth hunt with his Papal Stanley Clark in the county line area. His buck was 93 pounds. Proud parents are Nikki Merker and Keith Taylor.
It was a great day to be a Bearcat.
Following an inspiring pep rally Thursday afternoon at Antlers Elementary, the Antlers Little League Bearcats found themselves pumped up and ready for Saturday morning football. They faced off against the Hugo Buffaloes at Antlers field in a scrimmage against their long time rivals. The 3rd & 4th Grade and 5th & 6th grade teams respectively paired up to battle their opposing teams. It was an event that did not disappoint fans.
The Antlers Bearcats traveled to Wilburton to face the Diggers last Friday night. Although the Bearcats played hard through all four quarters, they fell to the Diggers in the end. The final score was Wilburton 40 - Antlers 18.

Rodney G., a reader of this blog noticed a new feature in Google Maps. "When you search for a city or a county or a ZIP Code, Google Maps now highlights the boundaries of what you searched for. If you are zoomed out, the whole area is shaded pink. If you zoom in a bit, it has just a big pink border with grey shading. Zoom in even more and it's a dashed boundary with grey shading."
It's a really useful feature and the nice thing is that's enabled by default. Just search for a country, a city, a state or a ZIP code and Google Maps will automatically highlight it.
{ Thanks, Rodney. }
