I just cant seem to figure out an efficient way to see the Loire Valley from Paris and then the Provence region( staying in Avignon) without backtracking to Paris all the time. I guess I am missing something, so I need some help from a kindly person who knows the area.. 8 day trip..In and out of Paris..We will not have a car. So, was going to take the train from Paris to Tours for a day and a half or so. Then I guess I have to go back to Paris, stay a night there, and take the High Speed to Avignon the next day? I figured we would stay in Paris for a day and a half after the long flight. upon our arrival to Paris.then head out to Tours. On the way back from Tours, I guess we will have to stay in Paris a night, and then before our early flight back to the USA stay overnight at the Paris airport. Seems like alot of hotel hopping. Please help!

Just curious - why won't you have a car? I was in Paris and the Loire Valley for the first time this past summer, so I am certainly not an expert. We did have a car for traveling through the Loire Valley. My daughter's fiance is French, and he picked us up in Paris in his car. But if he wasn't available to travel with us, we would have rented a car. We really enjoyed the Loire Valley and I think it is worth seeing, but based on our experience, I think it would be difficult to sightsee in the Loire Valley without a car. We loved driving around the countryside and stopping whenever & wherever we wanted to stop, when we saw something interesting and beautiful. From what I recall, I don't remember seeing train stations next to the chateaus. Some of them, such as Chambord, are in the middle of nowhere. I think there is bus service but then you are dependent on the bus schedule. Is there any possibility you could rent a car?

Depending how you defined "Loire Valley," it is not necessary to have a car. With such short time, it is possible to just hit where you can reach by trains/taxi such as Amoboise, Blois, or Chanonceau or use a local tour such as Acco-Dispo by staying in Amboise or Tours.
For some reason, you feel you must stay in one place after taking one transport of some kind: stay where ever you land, stay wherever after one train ride, etc. Why is this necessary? Look at train schedule at www.bahn.com (It is a German train site, but has all the European train info and is by far the easiest to use. To actually look at the price or book ticket use www.tgv.com or www.voyages-sncf.com) So you are staying in Paris,Tours,Paris,Avignon,Paris? If your plane arrives in Paris early, you can get to Tours from the CDG airport in 2-2.5hrs. Considering that if you arrive in Paris early, you probably cannot check-into a hotel early anyway, then convert time to kill into time to travel.
By going straight to Tours upon landing, and travel straight from Tours to Avignon, your stays will be reduced to Tours,Avignon, and Paris. I am not saying this is ideal for 8 days. You have not stated why it is necessary to put 2 additional stays in Paris.

Thank you for the replies. I will definitely think about what you said..

There is one TGV itinerary that does not involve changing train stations in Paris. It goes from St. Pierre de Corps (outside Tours) to Marne-la-Vallée where one takes the TGV to Avignon.
Report Abuse
No, you don't need to go back to Paris. There are trains from Tours to Avignon just about every hour all day long. You can see the schedules and prices at the SNCF website greg gave you above. Buy your tickets 3 months out from your date of travel for the cheapest prices.
A mere day and a half in the Loire is going to be a challenge. You're going to have to plan your tours carefully. And when you get to Avignon, are you just going to stay there, or take public transportation to outlying sites? I know people do it,, but I can't imagine touring the Bouches-du-Rhône area without a car.

Staying in Tours to see the Loire is also not ideal, hence the reason to get a car. Chambord, Cheverny, Chenonceau are all closer to Amboise than to Tours. The best chateaux (qua chateaux, as opposed to Villandry's gardens) are Chenonceau, Chambord, Amboise, Cheverny and probably Azay or Blois, depending upon your interest, and all of those are closer to Amboise than to Tours.
In 1.5 days you won't have time to tour the chateaux, the vineyards and the caves (if you desire all three) and also see the Abbey d'Fontevreaud. And Tours has a distinct lack of charm for France generally and the Valley specifically.

Maybe in the summer. I used www.tgv.com to see if one could avoid changing stations in Paris, plugging in Tours and Avignon for a December itinerary. But www.voyages-sncf.com gives the same information. A change must be made in Marne-la-Vallée, or Paris proper, or CDG.

Hmmmm...I just picked an arbitrary date, a Wednesday, in February, and got a 9:36 train, a 10:03, an 11omething, and so forth, all day long (using www.voyages-sncf). I chose Paris - toutes gares and Avignon - toutes gares.

Metro Vancouver's power play aims to turn a profit from dams
Metro Vancouver intends to add turbines to generate hydroelectric power at its North Shore dams that hold back the Capilano and Seymour reservoirs.
And regional district reps are giving assurances the diversion of water for power revenue won't leave fish high and dry without enough water to survive.
Metro estimates it would earn $6 to $10 million a year from the electricity that would be generated at the proposed 16-megawatt Capilano hydro project beside the Cleveland Dam.
That would be a new net source of revenue after the $75 to $90 million capital project is paid off over about 10 to 15 years.
A smaller power station costing $25 to $40 million would be built later at Seymour. It would generate less power and earn $1.3 million to $2.3 million from energy sales, taking 20 to 35 years before the capital cost would be paid off.
Power sales would help pay for Metro's water system — the region is steadily ratcheting up utility fees to residents in order to upgrade water and sewer infrastructure.
"There will be no negative aspects to this," pledged North Vancouver City Mayor Darrell Mussatto, chair of Metro's utilities committee. "We're not talking about whether we build a dam or not. The dam stays at the same height and it stays where it is."
Metro estimates it can safely divert some water to turn the turbines in the rainy months of the year without running short for drinking water.
"It's only when we have excess spill water going over the dam that we'll be doing this," Mussatto said.
Metro also promises better flow control and other upgrades that will improve conditions for salmon, which can sometimes be stranded at low water during dry months or die falling over the Cleveland dam.
The Metro board adopted its Joint Water Use Plan for the two reservoirs Friday after two years of technical study.
The drinking water supply and fish habitat considerations would come first, ahead of power-generation goals, according to the plan, which sets minimum mandatory water levels to protect salmonids.
Of particular concern is a run of steelhead that lay eggs in the gravel below the Cleveland Dam in early July.
"That's one of the most endangered fish runs in the province," said Vancouver Coun. Heather Deal, who chairs Metro's environment and parks committee. "We need to make sure the gravel is sufficiently watered to keep those eggs alive until they're able to hatch."
Watershed Watch Salmon Society executive director Craig Orr said he will be watching how the plans unfold and to ensure fish habitat doesn't slip as a priority after the region has shelled out large amounts of money to pursue power revenue.
"Any time you increase generation capacity in a system it comes with some risk to the environment – that needs to be kept in mind."
He said BC Hydro's generation of power at the Coquitlam reservoir has caused many strandings of coho salmon downstream.
Metro's plans are subject to regulatory review by the provincial government, which would issue the water licences before the region conducts more work and begins construction.

Johannesburg - Who doesn't love Lego?
It's a lot more than just about building houses from fun little coloured bricks. The concept has expanded significantly, with the Danish toymaker producing everything from motorised toy kits to movie franchises.
And now, Lego's newest development should raise the eyebrows of classic car enthusiasts.
Available as a 1077-part Lego puzzle, the iconic Mini is sold under the toymaker's Creator Expert range of products and promises "painstaking attention to detail". Based on the car produced from August 1997 to July 1998 to mark the 40th anniversary of the original, the model, when fully assembled, is 25cm long, 14cm wide and 11cm high, and is finished in typical Mini British Racing Green.
Other little throwbacks to the classic include the roof, exterior mirror caps and bonnet stripes finished in white, the checked pattern on the seats and the additional headlamps on the radiator grille. The model's wheels, bumpers, door hinges, and tail lights reflect the design of the original, too.
In terms of functionality, the doors, bonnet and tailgate can be opened, providing hobbyists with a view of the detailed interior. The steering wheel (right-hand drive, of course), gear lever, handbrake, and back and head-rests are all movable, while in the boot you'll find a full-sized spare and packed picnic basket complete with blanket.
And yes, there's a transversely mounted four-cylinder engine under the bonnet.
As with most products of Lego's Creator Expert series, the recommended age for the classic Mini Lego set is 16 and above, with no special tools – or a driver's licence for that matter – necessary to construct the model.
One for the Christmas list, we reckon.

NICE! feels like a Goldsworthy tribute…
yes! no doubt
almost too close for comfort, methinks…
the first and fourth are interesting though
- samah
this work is by my brother, and it is a Goldsworthy tribute. glad to see it up on Boooom again
That's the perfect name for somebody who does sculpture like this.
- emily
wow, these are both stunning and remenicient of one of my GCSE finals (deffinatly not stunning)
i think its that familiarity that makes them even more starkly wonderful
Thanks for all of the nice words everyone! This project is kind of an unofficial tribute to Goldsworthy, he was without a doubt the biggest influence for it all. I wish I did a little better job separating myself from him, theres a few images on the site that I think do this (the floating sick, and the to close up stick pattern ones…). Thanks again!

Okay I'm a sucker for all of this!!! My favorite is the little triangle so delicate!
I really love how Jacob has created art from something that by itself is art already.. mother nature!

Kicking off a week of articles about the transportation of choice for travellers who want to go at their own pace and choose their own adventure.
Road trips are good for the soul. Spend hours, days or even weeks behind the wheel, far from the familiar and alone with your thoughts, or with someone close to share them, and you will sort a lot of your personal stuff out. The landscape has the power to inspire you as well, unfolding like a non-stop epic film in 360 degrees of 3-D realism, along coasts, through mountain passes and deep into small towns and big cities teeming with life and newness.
I love the speed of planes, the romanticism of boats and the passive ease of trains, but if you have the time to spare, nothing beats a road trip. It is the transportation of choice for travellers who want to go at their own pace and choose their own adventure.
I have driven across the United States six times, so far, and have done it alone, with girlfriends, in tandem with a friend in another car connected by walkie-talkie, with my brother and a lifesize cardboard cutout of president Bill Clinton, and once with a fish as my only companion (I found him to be a good listener and a conversation starter in restaurants). Each time across I took a different route and although I have my favourite highway (Route 40) there are fascinating things to see no matter what roads you take. We are kicking off BBC Travel's Road Trip Week with the story "Top 10 US scenic drives" to inspire you to see some of the prettier stretches of America yourself. Later in the week we have two other US stories, one on an "From Warhol to Wright: An arty trip through Pennsylvania" concluding at Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, and "Trick of the light: A California road trip" from the BBC's Top Gear magazine.
Of course, the US does not have a monopoly on road trips - we also have stories this week on seeing Bulgaria and Lebanon by road. If you are extra adventurous or perhaps suicidal, you might be inspired by this week's photogallery on the "World's most treacherous roads".
My most epic road trip was abroad and also flirted with danger. My then-girlfriend, Kate, and I bought a Citroen hatchback, semi-legally, in London and drove it across England, Scotland, Ireland, France (with a sidetrip into Belgium), Spain, Gibraltar, Morocco, northern Italy and Austria. The most harrowing bits were driving though Casablanca, Paris and finally Poland where a car accident along a snowy stretch of highway near Auschwitz left our car totaled and cut the road trip prematurely. I actually cried as we said goodbye to our beloved car and travel companion, which we had named "Sophie" (because she was made by a French car company). We enjoyed a freedom in travelling on that months-long road trip we had not experienced before, nor since. We even got engaged on that trip and now Kate and I have new road trip adventures together, including across Jamaica and along the Fairytale Highway in Germany, with our toddler daughter in the back seat.
As a bonus to this week of road trip stories, we are also kicking off a new column called Travelwise, written by Suemedha Sood, that takes a deeper, analytical look into different travel subjects. She put together a highlight reel of US cross-country trips in "Iconic road trips in film and literature" if you want to follow in the footsteps of, say, Jack Kerouac, Thelma & Louise and the Muppets. And finally, road trips may be good for the soul but are not necessarily good for your health. Days and days of driving can lead to a dependence on fast food takeout, greasy roadside diners and processed junk as you go, go go. So Ms. Sood also wrote "How to eat healthy on the road" to help you strategize an eating plan on the road.
Have fun, drive safely and come back all week for more road trip stories from BBC Travel.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A new way to request a car service could be coming soon to Jacksonville. It's called Uber and it's an app you download on your smart phone.
When people are in need of a ride across town, they can head to Uber to schedule a car to come pick them up.
Jacksonville City Council leaders are expected to take up the discussion about Uber coming to Jacksonville at their meeting Tuesday night. Despite positive reviews for the smartphone car service app, some are concerned that Uber's business model of setting their own prices will hurt taxi cab companies who's rates are regulated by meters.
Some City Council members told Channel 4 they think the new service would be a great opportunity for the city, but others believe the service could be a liability.
"They want to put you in any kind of vehicle and it has no meter and they can charge whatever they want to charge and all of your consumer protection is gone," said City Councilman Richard Clark.
Councilman Stephen Joost said the service would bring business to Jacksonville and customers should have the right to choose which option would suit them the best.
"Uber is not willing to indemnify the city and protect the city from their drivers, which not only puts riders at risk, but puts the city at risk at for a lawsuit that would result in a car accident that we currently don't have with taxi and limo services," said Clark.
"Now, if I go on a trip and fall at a business, do I sue the city or do I sue the business? All Uber is doing is offering a choice to consumers. Would you like to get a town car? You hit yes or no. The town car picks you up. If they have an accident how's is it Uber's fault? They are just a conduit," said Joost.
The city will discuss bringing Uber to Jacksonville during Tuesday's council meeting.

New Delhi, Aug. 18 (ANI): The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national campaign committee will meet here today to discuss the strategy for states assembly polls later in 2013 and the 2014 Lok Sabha election.
According to television reports, BJP's poll panel chief and Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi will preside over the first meeting which will start at 11 am.
Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj, her Rajya Sabha counterpart Arun Jaitley, LK Advani and BJP President Rajnath Singh will also attend the one-day meet.
The BJP states unit presidents and office-bearers will also be present during the meeting.
The party is likely to get a feedback on the progress made in formation of various teams from booth-level committees and above.
On Saturday, the party had organised a media workshop for its spokespersons and media cell and asked them to target the Congress in a more aggressive manner, but maintain decency while countering the ruling party at the Centre through television debates and press interactions.
BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar, who briefed the media here after his party's national media workshop, said the party leaders, including poll panel chief Narendra Modi, are of the view that the mood of the nation is anti-Congress.
"Now, we had a session by our party's poll panel chief Narendra Modi and our party chief Rajnath Singh and they said that the mood of the people is anti-Congress and the people want change," he said.
Javadekar further said the BJP has a number of issues to corner the ruling Congress Party at the Centre.
"The BJP's biggest plus point is that we are not short of issues. The Congress has committed such a sin and looted the country, it has brought inflation......" he said. (ANI)

Bye-bye Saab. The automaker's bankruptcy filing is almost certainly the end of the line. It renders shares in Swedish Automobile, which acquired Saab nearly two years ago, virtually worthless.
The surprising thing about the European auto industry, however, is how rarely an event like this happens. Since the 2008 financial crisis, just two auto plants have closed - Opel's in Antwerp and Fiat's in Sicily. The US is different: Detroit is a serial visitor to the bankruptcy courts. Yet it is the industry that refuses to die.
In fact, it may be on the brink of a modest revival. Despite getting billions in government aid and scrappage schemes, manufacturers have only trimmed capacity. Sure, there has been a shift to lower-cost production: Volkswagen announced plans to boost its operations in Slovakia, for instance, just as Saab was being shuttered. It is the sort of thing an industry does to avoid the more pressing need to consolidate.
Globally, industry forecasters like IHS Automotive and LMC Automotive predict that the market for cars and light trucks will expand by 4 to 5 per cent next year. Much of that is due to Asia, where cooling demand in China is unlikely to dent the overall trend. IHS believes that the region will see sales of 32 million units, or 40 per cent of the global total, up from 25 per cent in 2007.
North America, too, has come back strongly from 2008 and 2009, when sales slumped by more than 15 per cent and 20 per cent respectively. Helped by captive finance operations, sales are forecast to climb back to 16.4 million units next year. That remains below the 19 million-plus units sold annually in the early years of the last decade, but it constitutes a 30 per cent rise over the nadir of 2009.
The real problem remains in Europe, where demand has eroded from 16.8 million units in 2007 to a likely 14.4 million in 2011. It could slide another 5 per cent in 2012, says IHS. Rising price competition is one result. That is a sign of an industry suffering from chronic overcapacity. Don't be fooled by the forecasts. Saab may be a better guide to the next few years.

Shareholders didn't take too kindly to satellite company
That said, the company resumed trading with good news; it had finally secured the full $611 million in funding needed to build and launch the Jabiru-1 satellite, which it claims will be one of the largest of its kind.
The satellite uses the same type of frequencies planned for parts of the federal government's national broadband network and will give companies in the resources, construction and government access to high-speed communications from remote locations.
Through a mix of equity and mezzanine funding managed by Credit Suisse Australia and Baillieu Holst, and refinanced debt elsewhere, the company now has the financial backing to fulfil its plans.
Delays gaining that funding, however, set back the launch of the satellite some three years – a delay unlikely to prove healthy for sales.
NewSat remains confident, though, as the sales pipeline for companies set to use the satellite sat at $US454 million in February. That pipeline is likely to exceed the build cost in the near future and over its 15-year lifetime, NewSat says Jabiru-1 could generate up to $US3.3 billion.
Baillieu Holst analyst Nick Caley has placed a "buy" tag on NewSat shares with a price target of 75¢, noting the funding completion had lifted some of the risk over the stock.
The company has reported significant growth in other areas, too. Revenue rose 19 per cent in the first half of 2012-13. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation rose 66 per cent from the same half a year earlier. The company reported a net profit of $1.3 million for the six months.
Oddly enough for a company focused on space, much of these revenues came from work being done on the ground. Its teleport business – the swathes of antennae that communicate with satellites and make the vital connection with Earth, won $US12.45 million in contracts over the six months.
Though many of its recent contracts have boosted NewSat's business outside Australia, its plans to launch a satellite specifically serving local industry could mean a return for competitive growth in the near future.

The World Cup hopes of arguably the Socceroos' most important player, Robbie Kruse, appear doomed after the forward tore his anterior cruciate ligament.
Kruse was training on Friday with his German club side, Bayer Leverkusen, when he twisted his left knee.
He was sent for an MRI scan on Saturday morning where the full extent of the injury was revealed.
Kruse has barely five months to recover from the injury if he is to feature at the World Cup in Brazil, meaning he is almost certainly out of contention.
The 25-year old is reportedly due to go in for surgery early next week. The only feasible chance of Kruse making a recovery in time for Brazil would be to undertake the radical LARS surgery.
That particular operation allowed Sydney Swans defender Nick Malceski to play just 86 days after rupturing his ACL in 2010. However, it remains a technology fraught with danger and is widely agreed to be a riskier proposition than regular surgery.
While LARS recipients remain rare, there are notable examples in Australian sport, including ACT Brumbies star Matt Toomua and Canberra Raiders prop Brett White. AFL players David Rodan and Anthony Morabito have also elected to take the surgery, both after consulting Malceski.
If Kruse takes the traditional path of rehabilitation, he will otherwise miss the rest of the Bundesliga season, the World Cup and likely be sidelined from international duty until the 2015 Asian Cup.
It is a terrible blow to the former Melbourne Victory forward after enjoying a breakout 12 months for club and country, where he was named Australia's international player of the year for 2013. The Brisbane-born forward has since taken his international tally to 28 caps and three goals.
Kruse earned his move to Leverkusen after starring for German Bundesliga side Fortuna Dusseldorf and was acclaimed as the replacement for Andre Schurrle, who signed for Chelsea in a deal worth A$29 million.
Just before the move went ahead Kruse emerged as one of the Socceroos' key players, starring in the final three World Cup qualifiers last June – capped by a superb display against Jordan, setting up two goals and scoring one of his own.
Kruse had scored twice and set up two more goals in his 15 appearances for Leverkusen this season. His club are again on course to qualify for the UEFA Champions League and are in second spot behind the runaway leaders Bayern Munich.
The Australian Institute of Sport graduate will also miss the glamour round of 16 tie in this season's Champions League, where Leverkusen have been drawn against Paris Saint-Germain.
However, Australia are relatively well-stocked for attacking midfielders should Kruse not be there for the opening World Cup match against Chile in Cuiaba on June 13.
Players such who have recently fallen out of favour in the national setup - James Troisi, Brett Holman, Nikita Rukavytsya and Alex Brosque – are all considered capable replacements.

COUNTY semi-finals day at Westlecot on Sunday in the four men's events - four and two wood singles, junior singles and pairs championships - produced several outstanding performances.
Holt's Wayne Simmonds won both of his semi-finals in the singles and pairs, as did Westlecot's Mel Biggs but the most remarkable result came in the second singles semi-final.
Biggs, a five-times record breaking county men's champion, was in awesome form on his own green and registered his second whitewash in this competition in less than a fortnight.
On June 30, he despatched Mike Crane (Wilton) 21-0 in ten ends in the last 16 at Wootton Bassett, then in the quarter-finals defeated fellow ex-England international Shadwell 21-19 and followed it on Sunday blitzing Holt's Wayne Snook 21-0 in just eight ends.
Simmonds beat Tom Pittuck (Swindon Town Gardens) comfortable 21-11 and will clash with Biggs in the singles final at Devizes in early September.
Snook, after his mauling by Biggs, bounced back in the pairs semi-final with Simmonds to beat a far-from-fit Shadwell (who switched to lead owing to back problems) and Russell Francis 19-10.
In the other pairs semi, holders Biggs and Mike Jackson, will defend the title against Simmonds and Snook after defeating Steve Rose and Dave Royle (Rodbourne Cheney) 25-14.
Francis may have lost in the pairs but will be going to Leamington after he beat Spencer Moulton teammate Andy Colebrooke 17-16 in the two wood semi-final. He grabbed two twos on the last two ends for a last gasp one shot win.
The other semi-final saw Avon's Chris Easton concede to Graham Hatherall (Westlecot) on the 19th end despite leading 13-10 as he will be away on holiday when the event is staged at Leamington and substitutes are are not allowed in singles matches.
The other semi-finals held at Westlecot on Sunday were in the junior men's singles where Wootton Bassett's Kyle Anderson lost to home player Michael Richards but James Richman (Highworth) edged out home player Mike Titcombe by two shots.
Singles: Wayne Snook (Holt) lost to Mel Biggs (Westlecot) 0-21; Wayne Simmonds (Holt) beat Tom Pittuck (Town Gardens) 21-11.
Junior Singles (U25s): Mike Titcombe Jnr (W'lecot) lost to James Richman (Highworth) 19-21; Mike Richards (W'lecot) beat Kyle Anderson (Wootton Bassett) 21-16.
Pairs: Wayne Simmonds & Wayne Snook (Holt) beat Graham Shadwell & Russell Francis (Spencer Moulton) 19-10; Mike Jackson & Mel Biggs (holders, W'lecot) beat Dave Royle & Steve Rose (Rodbourne Cheney) 25-14.
Two Wood, Quarter-finals: Rob Clews (Chippenham T) lost to Graham Hatherall (holder, W'lecot) w/o; Richard Young (High) lost to Chris Easton (Avon) 14-17; Andy Colebrooke (S Moulton) beat Dave Godwin (WB) 16-10; Russell Francis (S Moulton) beat David Murray (R Cheney) 18-11.
Semi-finals: Hatherall beat Easton – conceded on 19th end although Easton leading 13-10; Colebrooke lost to Francis 16-17.
All the men's semi-final winners in singles, junior singles (U25s), two wood singles and pairs qualify for finals weekend at Devizes September 6/7 and to represent Wiltshire in the national championships at Royal Leamington Spa in August.
THE COUNTY men's junior side were beaten for the first time this season in a regulation 21 ends full match.
They went down by one shot on aggregate in their latest three rink South-West Counties U25 league match to Somerset on Saturday at Chippenham Town.
Wiltshire took the honours on two of the three rinks and led across the board for most of the SWCL game. They were 16-15 up at five ends, 34-23 at ten, 44-42 at 15 and 51-46 at 18.
However, they only scored four shots on the last three ends and dropped ten to agonisingly lose by one shot 56-55.
Rink 2: Adam Bolwell (Holt), John Hermon (Garrards), Gary Jackson (Westlecot) & Nick Revell (Amesbury) lost to Dale Taylor 12-21. Rink 3: Craig Hatherall (W'lecot), Craig Morphet (Highworth), Tom Warner (Ames) & Michael Richards (W'lecot) beat Reece White 22-16. Rink 4: Ashley Plumb (Ames), James Richman (High), Mike Titcombe (W'lecot) & Kyle Anderson (Wootton Bassett) beat Sam Steel 21-19.
Score: Wiltshire lost to Somerset 55-56.
WILTSHIRE have reached the Middleton Cup quarter-finals after edging out Warwickshire in a nailbiting final west group match two weeks ago away in Rugby by one shot 113-112.
On Saturday, Wiltshire are pitted against Devon in the quarter-finals on the neutral green at West Backwell BC, North Somerset (2pm).
They will be seeking revenge as Devon halted their progress in the quarter-finals last season and went on to lose in the inter-county championship final at Worthing to Berkshire.
However, despite Devon's formidable record in the Middleton Cup since the turn of the century, Wiltshire should not be overawed as Devon lost a group match this season to Dorset and only just pipped arch rivals Cornwall for top spot in the other west group.
Wiltshire selectors have opted for an unchanged side and will field the same 24 players that beat Warwickshire in the last match.
An upbeat Moonrakers team manager Dave Snell said: "This is four years in a row that Wiltshire have reached the quarter-final stage of the competition which certainly shows consistency combined with a team spirit second to none and I am looking forward to playing our friends from Devon again."

Steve Warden, 35, was sentenced to serve a total of two years in prison Friday for his role in a sexual relationship with a then-16-year-old girl.
But the former high school teacher could avoid prison if accepted for placement at the Eastern Ohio Correction Center in Wintersville.
According to records at the Guernsey County Common Pleas Court, Warden was sentenced on a trio of felony convictions Friday after previously entering negotiated no contest pleas to a bill of information charging him with three counts of sexual battery, all third-degree felonies.
Warden was sentenced to serve two one-year prison sentences on each of the first two sexual battery convictions and a two-year sentence on a third sexual battery conviction.
Judge David A. Ellwood ordered the sentences be served concurrently for a total of two years in prison, but he also ordered Warden be held at the Guernsey County jail to be evaluated for placement at EOCC.
If Warden is approved for placement at EOCC, the court will determine the length of his sentence. Ellwood declined to comment on the length of a potential incarceration at EOCC until a decision is made if Warden is an appropriate candidate.
The EOCC is a regional community-based correctional facility with minimum security and housing available for 64 residents. According to its brochure, EOCC treatment programs are short-term; highly structured and action-oriented.
The EOCC provides judges with a sentencing alternative between probation supervision and long-term secure confinement. It is considered an economical, local alternative to state prison commitments for male, non-violent, low-risk felons.
Warden allegedly engaged in sexual conduct with a high school student over the course of several months. The relationship between Warden and the girl was reportedly consensual, but the girls age and student status at the time it started made it a felony offense.
No fine was imposed against Warden, but he was assessed all court costs.
The court also determined Warden is a sexually oriented offender, which requires him to report his address and other personal information to the local sheriffs office where he resides for a 10-year period.
Warden remained incarcerated in the Guernsey County jail awaiting evaluation for placement at EOCC or transportation to the Orient Reception Center if he is denied entry to the EOCC.

BURNLEY boss Sean Dyche believes the Clarets can reap the rewards of their Austrian training camp once the Premier League season gets under way next month.
The Turf Moor boss watched his side end their overseas stay with a comfortable 8-0 win over FC Grossklein on Sunday and was pleased with what he saw.
And the Clarets chief also believes the trip has boosted fitness levels and team building within his side ahead of their top-flight opener against Chelsea on Monday, August 18.
Dyche said: "The main tactical work will start once we get back. This early part of pre-season is physically-minded.
"They do a lot of football, but it is all built up around the physical side, to get that strong fitness base.
"When we get back to Burnley we will start building in the tactical side and how the team operates.
"We got the players in slightly earlier this season for testing and to make sure they are ready and their bodies are ready. Trust me, it's a long pre-season, so to get away and have a trip just breaks up that period. They know when they go away they are going to work hard and they certainly did.
"It's well documented that we like to do one very hard day when we are on tour. It was important to do that, because it's about the mental and team building side of things, but that's a one-off, just to test the players mentally and physically.
"The rest of the time it's all football fitness, but then it is important to have some game time, so we will get back home now and build towards the next game."
The Clarets travel to Accrington Stanley on Saturday for their next pre-season fixture and Dyche believes the confidence taken from the weekend win over FC Grossklein will stand his squad in good stead – particularly the goalscoring debuts of strikers Marvin Sordell and Lukas Jutkiewicz.
The pair both netted twice and with Ashley Barnes also hitting a brace it was a pleasing afternoon in front of goal.
Dyche added: "We have got a very good, honest, respectful group here and I don't think the new boys needed to settle in as players.
"We've found that happens very quickly with new signings, but they still want to go out and perform, especially in a game like that, when it's low-key and the opposition are what they are.
"Players still want to do what they do, particularly strikers and for Lukas and Marvin to score is fantastic and both looked well and moulded well into the team.
"We needed a game and we thought this was appropriate. And the lads went about it in the right manner, with a very good attitude.
"There were some really good pockets of play and at this stage it's really about giving them the game feel again."
The Burnley boss also thanked the travelling Clarets with a number making the trip to Austria to watch the action in sweltering conditions.
"That was as hot an occasion that I can remember being involved in," added Dyche. "There were a good number of Burnley fans here, which was fantastic, and they probably realised that too. It must have been 33 degrees and stifling, but that is all part of the reality of getting yourself ready for a season."

Heavy firefights in southern Damascus
Syrian tanks pounded overnight the Palestinian refugee camp of Yarmouk and two nearby neighborhoods in southern Damascus - Tadamoun and Assali, while warplanes bombed Wednesday the northwest of the country, according to a Syrian NGO. Yarmouk and Tadamoun were the scene late Tuesday night of fighting between rebels and the army, who then returned tank fire, said the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights (SOHR), a London-based NGO.
On Wednesday morning, several shells were fired at another refugee camp east of Yarmouk camp, said the SOHR without specifying whether the shots came from the army or the rebels.
Damascus and its region have recently returned to the center of the fighting, as rebels intensified their attacks especially from the south of the city and the surrounding countryside, the Ghouta, while the army, which sent major reinforcements says it had consistently rebuffed the "terrorist infiltration."
In the northwest of the country, the Syrian air force carried out in the morning two raids on the town of al-Maaret Noomane, where the rebels took control, including a portion of the strategic highway leading to the city of Aleppo, according to the SOHR.
The rebels seized Maaret al-Noomane on October 9 since then have been facing an unprecedented wave of aerial bombardments.
On Tuesday, over 100 people were killed in violence in Syria.

Able to detect and track hundreds of targets simultaneously, the Type 45 Destroyer is recognised as the most advanced anti-air warfare vessel in the world. As the first frontline warship to feature a fully integrated electric propulsion system, the whole ship can run off a single power plant, making it 45 per cent more economical than the Type 42 that it replaces.
The newest warship in service with the UK Royal Navy, it is the first to have a dedicated gym onboard and with larger cabins, the Type 45 sets new standards of accommodation.
Key Facts
- Displacement: 7,500 tonnes
- Length: 152.4 metres
- Maximum beam: 21.2 metres
- Top speed: 27 knots
- Range: 7,000 miles
- Crew: Approximately 190
BAE Systems is the design authority and prime contractor for the Type 45 Destroyer programme. Under this agreement, we are responsible for the design, development, integration and delivery of six destroyers that will provide the backbone of the UK Royal Navy, protecting national, allied and coalition forces against enemy aircraft and missiles.
Design and build of the vessels is spread across our facilities in Glasgow and Portsmouth using modular manufacturing techniques. The bow to bridge block, masts and funnels were built at our Portsmouth site, whilst the stern and mid sections of the ships were manufactured in Glasgow, where our engineers also undertake final outfitting, systems integration, testing and commissioning of the ships.
BAE Systems also provides the state of the art combat systems and radars, which contribute to the Type 45's impressive warfighting capability.

Attendance and Loss of Privileges
All information regarding attendance is taken from the Code of Conduct of Pasco County Schools and the J W Mitchell High School Student Planner.
1. Rules of School Attendance
Students will attend school on a regular basis. The procedure for reporting an absence is outlined in the section titled "To Report an Absence".
The following are acceptable reasons for a student's absences:
1) Illness of student. If a child sees a doctor for the illness, please submit a doctor's note so that it does not count against loss of privilege.
2) Major illness in the immediate family of the student (immediate family is determined as parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents, aunts, uncles, legal guardians or persons in loco parentis, or a member of one's own household). Please send in a doctor's note documenting the illness so that it will not count against loss of privilege.
3) Death in the immediate family of the student.
4) Religious holiday of the student's faith (including: Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah, and Epiphany).
5) Religious institutes, conferences, or workshops, provided that the principal approves the absence in advance.
6) Absences for trips or other parental requests as judged appropriate for the student by the principal, provided that the requests are approved in advance.
7) In-School Suspension.
8) Subpoena or forced absence by any law enforcement agency, provided that the student is not under immediate suspension from school. A copy of the subpoena or court summons must be presented to the principal. Please submit the subpoena or court documentation regarding the absence so that it will not count against loss of privilege.
For purposes of attendance, school related activities would not be counted as absences from class. Loss of Privilege information can be found below.
2. Middle/High School Attendance & Academic Success
School attendance and active participation in class are extremely important to learning and success and making good grades. Only unexcused absences may result in no opportunity for make up of tests, homework, and other assignments for the day. Each teacher shall establish a set policy for make-up work and a grading system and shall submit a written description of his/her grading system to the principal and students at the beginning of the course.
3. Make-up Work for Excused Absences
Excused absences guarantee students the right to make up work assigned on the day[s] of absence at full credit. The student is responsible for asking the teacher for assignments and make-up tests within two (2) class meetings with the teacher. The teacher shall specify a reasonable period of time for completion of make-up work. In no case shall the time be less than one full calendar day for each day missed. Work due to be turned in on the day of the excused absence will be turned in on return and be given full credit. The principal shall have the authority to modify these conditions with a confirmed hardship.
4. To Report an Absence
Schools shall require written explanations from parents/guardians when students are absent. Parents should notify the school of a student's absence and the reason for the absence with the appropriate note by the first day of a student's return to school. Types of appropriate notes include parent notes, doctor notes, or court paperwork. Please review the section titled "Attendance and Loss of Privilege" for a more detailed explanation of which absences will not count towards loss of privilege and/or the rules of thumb listed below.
Parent notes regarding absences will be marked as excused; however, they will count towards loss of privilege. In order for an absences to not count towards loss of privilege, please follow the following rules of thumb.
– If a child sees a doctor for the illness, please submit a doctor's note so that it does not count against loss of privilege.
– If a family member is ill, please send in a doctor's note documenting the illness of the family member so that it will not count against loss of privilege.
– If a student must attend court, please submit the subpoena or court documentation regarding the absence so that it will not count against loss of privilege.
All other absences from school shall be considered unexcused and shall be dealt with according to the Code of Student Conduct. Failure to provide requested documentation will result in unexcused absences.
5. Monitoring of Attendance
Each school will develop a plan detailing how attendance will be monitored. This plan will be sent to the Superintendent, or his/her designee, prior to the start of each school year for approval. The plan will address the following guidelines:
1) Procedures for following up student absenteeism. Absences should be checked every day, at least by random telephone calls.
2) Procedures for identifying students who skip class, are tardy to class, or who check out of school with permission during the school day.
3) Plan for counseling or punishment for truancy as designated by the Code of Student Conduct. Each school shall also maintain accurate automated attendance registers, including annual summary data on student attendance.
The Pasco County School District uses eSembler as a tool for parents to monitor student achievement and attendance; however the official attendance is kept on an internal database by the school.
6. Attendance Awards
A student has perfect attendance for the year if the student has been in school every day for 180 days. With a note from the parent, official religious holidays will not be counted against perfect attendance. In addition, schools may give awards for outstanding attendance according to the school's attendance monitoring plan.
7. Truancy and Excessive Absences
Parents will be advised if their child is considered truant or has excessive absences. If a student is determined to be chronically truant or demonstrating a apatter of non-attendance as required by F.S. 1003.26(1)(b), a referral will be made to the School Based Intervention Team (S-BIT). In some cases the student and/or parent may also be referred to the Office of the State Attorney's Truancy Intervention Program (TIP), or a Children in Needs of Services/Family in Needs of Services (CINS/FINS) petition could be filed.
8. Unexcused Absences, School Related Activities, and Parking
If a student record exceeds five unexcused absences, or absences for which the reasons are unknown, within a calendar month or 10 unexcused absences, or absences for which the reasons are unknown, within a 90 day calendar period, the student will lose the privilege of participating in extracurricular activities open only to students. These include but are not limited to field trips, dances, special events, club activities and participation in athletics, until the end of the following grading period/quarter. In addition, a student who drives on campus will have that privilege revoked until the end of the following grading period/quarter. If this occurs during the fourth quarter of the school year, the privileges would be lost for the first quarter of the following school year. The principal or designee may review extenuating circumstances brought forth by a parent/guardian. The principal's decision is final.
Florida Statute 1003.26
The Florida Legislature has enacted F.S. 322.091(1), which provides that minors (ages 14 – 18) satisfy school attendance requirements in order to apply for or maintain their driving privileges. The principal or designee will notify the District School Board of Pasco county of those students who accumulate 15 unexcused absences or absences for which the reasons are unknown, in a period of (90) calendar days. The school superintendent or designee is then required to submit to the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) the names of the students along with their dates of birth, sex, and social security numbers. For the purposes of maintaining the right to drive, days of suspension from school will not be forwarded to the DHSMV as unexcused.
If a student's name is sent to the DHSMV for lack of attendance, then the student is in danger of having the current privilege or drive suspended, or for students who are under age 16, having their application for licensure denied. Hardship waiver hearings will be available in cases where the driver has been notified by SHSMV that the license will be suspended. Following a license suspension by DHSMV, the driving privilege may be reinstated if the student submits written verification to the DHSMV that the student has completed 30 days of attendance in school without an unexcused absence.
9. Procedures for Checking In or Out of School
Students who come to campus late or need to leave campus early MUST provide parental permission to have done so.
Procedure for Checking In to School
1)Students should report to the Front Counter of the Main Office upon arriving at school.
2)Students should provide documentation for excuse of tardiness. Determination of the type of absence will be done by the Attendance Secretary.
3)An Admission/Check-In pass will be issued by the Front Desk Secretary/Receptionist.
4)Students should show this pass to all of the teachers for missed classes.
5) If a child sees a doctor when he/she signs out of school, please submit a doctor's note so that it does not count against loss of privilege.
Procedure for Checking Out of School
1)Students MUST provide parental permission in the forms of a note with a contact phone number to the Attendance Secretary. All requests for students to leave early MUST be verified through telephone or personal contact for the request to be approved.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It's hard to quantify the level of embarrassment, if not the grossly pathetic punch line that has become search giant Yahoo! ( YHOO). As a recent shareholder, learning that Scott Thompson has been ousted as CEO arrived as another black eye on the company. It seems to me that Yahoo! saw this as a way to address its own lack of credibility -- by getting rid of Thompson who has been battling credibility issues of his own due to an alleged bio that included a college degree that he never received.Although the company has forced Thompson to fall on the sword hoping that all of this goes away, it only serves as a reminder to investors of the company's own past failures with due diligence. In plain point and fact, the company and its board have now become an absolute disaster. The question now is, what's next?

Bob, I plan on running Miles for Music on 3/10, and also the New Jersey Marathon, my first on 5/5.
May 5th is a busy racing day for our team!
Hi, 4midables!I had a much better week last week - 40 miles for the first time since last June or July. Last 10 were on muddy trails and my legs are still sore. Hoping to be over 30 again this week.
PRs: 5k (21:48); 10k (44:32); 10 mile (1:14:52)
irishguy, I'm running NJ Marathon as well!
Well, I finished the Mount Mitchell Challenge this past weekend. It was tough. The had to modify the course a little due to the bad weather. We still ran to the summit, but the revised course was "only" 37 miles instead of 40. You know what? I was perfectly okay with that! I finished in 8:01:01. One of the hardest things I've ever done.
Now to figure out how to get back into marathon training without overdoing and hurting myself.
Since everyone else is blogging: http://karenrunsfar.blogspot.com/Upcoming Races: 2016: BCS Marathon. 2017: Houston Marathon, The Woodlands Marathon, Oklahoma City Marathon and Missoula Marathon (50th one on my 50th birthday). After that, who knows?
Keep up the good work 4midable! Put some good miles up last week with 54.5 and that was with taking 2 URDs too battling a cold. i was hoping for mu first 60m week in 2013. One more quality workout tomorrow and then start 10-day taper for my HM on March 9th. Feeling really good and should race well. Hoping for a sub1:38 probably around a 1;36-1:37 but we shall see how those Cburg hills treat me.
PR's - 5K - 20:15 (2013) | 10K - 45:14 (2011) | 13.1 - 1:34:40 (2013) | 26.2 - 3:40:40 (2014)
Up Next:
For this week we still need posts from:
and slongbrake66.
Deadline is sometime on Thursday, but why wait?
Karen- Congrats on the 37-miler!
Jedi- Enjoy the last quality workout!
We still need posts from:

Awesome running everyone! Karen, you are amazing, way to rock your race!
I ran a PR on my marathon and finished in 3:39. Next goal race is the NYC Half on 3/17.
Congrats on the PR, monkkey!
Wow, congrats monkkey! That is a fantastic time!!

Pretty, but very small
I loved this ring when I saw it online, and it was a great deal being over 600 dollars off the MSRP price. Having bigger fingers I already knew that my ring would look small, but I still wanted the ring because it was pretty and it was a great price for an engaged couple on a budget. When I received the package I was excited, ripped it open, and was disappointed with how much smaller the ring is than the picture. The picture is REALLY magnified. Keep that in mind when purchasing. The ring is very pretty but equally small.Read More

After years of complaints by residents about the state of the Laguna Beach High School tennis courts, renovations could come next year, the city said.
Director of Community Services Ben Siegel said the city plans to bring the item to the Laguna Beach Unified School District Board of Education this summer. If approved, the renovations could come in spring.
The city and district have a joint-use agreement over the tennis courts, with the city contracted to cover 70 percent of the project's cost and the district covering 30 percent.
During a meeting in January between city and district officials, the city said it would move forward with a $300,000 budget for improvements that include concrete repair, resurfacing, lighting, fencing and wind screens.
The district hired a consulting firm that brought the budget up to $330,000 – $350,000. The city said additional funding could be sought through City Council.
The firm also compiled an additional "wish list" of items that, if added, could bring the tab up to $1 million. Those items include spectator seating, shade structures, storage areas and a drinking fountain.
The courts were a topic of discussion at the July 9 school board meeting – with residents and board members commenting on the long-awaited project.
"When something is promised to be addressed and it's pushed forward, pushed forward," Michelle Jaeger said. "We're going to have another board before we have this issue."
The renovations were on the agenda in the spring, Board member Betsey Jenkins pointed out, but after a number of people spoke up about preferring post-tension slabs for the tennis courts, the board decided to hold off making a decision and investigate the possibility. She said she thinks the recommendation will ultimately be post-tension.
Board member Theresa O'Hare said the district is trying to get more funding from the city.
The district hasn't formally requested money from the city, Siegel said, and an upgrade to post-tension slabs would be at the discretion of the City Council.
However, the district said the city has discussed advancing an annual $25,000 contribution for district capital improvement projects for four years, Director of Facilities, Grounds and Construction Ted Doughty said. That would give the district an additional $100,000 for the project, if approved by the City Council.
During board meetings, residents have proposed going with certain companies – such as Zaino. The issue is the project isn't just one cost but a myriad of expenditures, which include competitive bidding, American for Disabilities Act requirements and state requirements, Doughty said.
"We're eager to move it forward," Siegel said. "Now it's just a matter of working with the district on what's included with the project."

Can someone tell me where the files for the second iTunes profile are backed up? On the second profile, I haven't synced in any music -- but it's still consuming more than a gig of space.
Can someone tell me where the files for the second iTunes profile are backed up? On the second profile, I haven't synced in any music -- but it's still consuming more than a gig of space.
Hi everyone
I just´ve a big problem, I´m using the iphone with windows and Ibrickr, yesterday i sincronized with Itunes, it was 7.5 GB!. today I install Swaptunes from Ibrickr application link.
I run Swaptunes once and i later went to Ipod, but the message is "no content". I run swaptunes again and my library is still empty, i power off the Iphone, and power on, go to ipod and still empty, i run swaptunes again and is still empty. The iphone is almost full, that´s mean the music is still there, but i can get it.
What can i do??
I'm not sure what caused the iPhone do get into that state but it seems others have been experiencing similar problems. Perhaps an issue with 1.0.2 (I am still on 1.0.1 and never experienced such issues with swapTunes).
Anyways, all swapTunes does is move the folder /var/root/Media/iTunes_Control back and forth into /var/root/Media/iTunes_Control_2
So if iTunes shows that you have a lot of space showing up as "others", it probably means most of your music is in /var/root/Media/iTunes_Control_2. And if you can't see anything in the iPod app, it means /var/root/Media/iTunes_Control is empty. Normally running swapTunes at this point should invert the two, but if that does not work, you can simply delete (or safer to rename it to something else in case) the iTunes_Control folder, then rename the folder iTunes_Control_2 to iTunes_Control. Use WinSCP or MobileFinder to do that.
Another thing that can happen is that iTunes_Control_2 was moved to the trash, so check there too.
This app is working great for me, except that I am running into a ringtones problem that is different than the one earlier in this thread. I have custom ringtones installed by iToner. I had to install my ringtones over again when I switched over to my second iTunes library on my phone (understandably), but when I SwapTunes again, my ringtone always resets to the default. My custom ringtones don't get deleted, but my prefs revert to default and I have to choose my ringtone again in Setting. Can anyone suggest a solution?
Firmware 1.0.2/iTunes 7.4.2
If you want to use iTunes 7.4 and have swaptunes swap your ringtones out so u don't loose them change your swaptunes.sh file to something like this:
if ps wwx | grep MobileMusicPlayer | grep -vq grep
kill -9 `ps wwx | grep MobileMusicPlayer | grep -v grep | sed -e s/\?.*//`
if [ -e /var/root/Media/iTunes_Control_2 ]
mv /var/root/Media/iTunes_Control /var/root/Media/iTunes_Control_temp
mv /var/root/Media/iTunes_Control_2 /var/root/Media/iTunes_Control
mv /var/root/Media/iTunes_Control_temp /var/root/Media/iTunes_Control_2
mv /Library/Ringtones /var/root/Media/Ringtones_temp
mv /var/root/Media/Ringtones_2 /Library/Ringtones
mv /var/root/Media/Ringtones_temp /var/root/Media/Ringtones_2
mv /var/root/Library/Ringtones/ /var/root/Media/Newtones_temp
mv /var/root/Media/Newtones_2 /var/root/Library/Ringtones
mv /var/root/Media/Newtones_temp /var/root/Media/Newtones_2
mv /var/root/Media/iTunes_Control /var/root/Media/iTunes_Control_2
mkdir /var/root/Media/iTunes_Control
mv /Library/Ringtones /var/root/Media/Ringtones_2
mkdir /Library/Ringtones
exit 1
And I have a trouble:
I didn't understand how SwapTunes's working and see "Other" place on first computer. That I had erased second iTunes folder on iPhone (and trashes too) by MobileFinder and uninstall SwapTunes, but the "Other" place still occurs & I can't use it.
What can I do?
Hey guys. For those on Macs trying to get this program to work, this worked for me.
Open swaptunes.sh
Retype everything into a new file in textedit. (do NOT copy/paste. wont work)
Overwrite swaptunes.sh and change permission to 755
Someone mentioned that this app was written in Windows so I retyped in textedit to make sure there were no probs with the carriage returns.
Worked like a charm
Just in case: Make sure to change preferences in Textedit from Rich Text to Plain Text

Loaded SwapTunes restarted phone, ran SwapTunes still showed all my music. So I reloaded BSD Subsystem restarted phone and SwapTunes worked.
Thank you for this information, however after making the change you suggest below, I find I am experiencing the same problem. My ringtones are indeed being preserved, as in fact they were before modifying swaptunes.sh, but it is my ringtone PREFS that are still not being saved, ie. whenever I run swaptunes, my ringtone defaults to Marimba. I can change back to my custom tone, but my prefs get reset after each swap.
I suspect this may be because it appears that iToner saves ringtones to /var/root/Media/iTunes_Control/Ringtones, rather than /Media/Ringtones. Can you please comment?
Has anyone had any luck modifying this to work for more than 2 libraries? If I can get this logic to work for 3 libraries I would be in heaven. Surely there must be a way.
Hi, thanks for the great application, its exactly what I've been looking for to sync libraries at work and home without having to have the same data on both computers to do so.
I seem to be having a small problem. I installed via Installer and rebooted my iphone. I had Swaptunes swap in a blank library and proceeded to sync with iTunes. Upon connection iTune asks me if I want to restore "999's" profile to the phone. I didn't click anything, I just undocked my phone and headed in to work. Is this normal?
I'm on 1.1.1 and syncing with a PC.
Help is appreciated.
hey guys... I tried running this program and ran into troubles.
When I first ran it, i had had music and vids already on the phone (synced from other computer), then i tried to sync it with my lap where i had an album or two to sync. Before syncing it with laptop i had run SwapTunes. Then opened iTunes and synced library.
After that, i closed itunes, disconnected my iphone and there was nothing to be found in library. I tried swap tunes again, and still nothing.... After restart the new album synced from laptop showed up.... I tried swaping tunes (to get my old albums and vids list synced from other computer) but bum, nothing happened.... the list was empty.
It's something weird happening here definitely. Because when i connected device to lap again it offered me to back up all my contacts, calendars and stuff to my phone (to copy it), i didn't select anything.
Now it seems like this program has made an empty library that contains 0 items (i tried looking into it and it really has nothing)....and the other lib has everything there, including my stuff from other comp. When I run iPod on my phone i only get that one album visible, but not the others
Why is that happening? I know that in the library where that other album is there are other albums synced from other comp, but they are just not visible.... Could there be a problem that db file is crashed during the operation of syncing and running swaptunes few times?
Please help me to recover the loss of files that actually do exist.
Thank you!
First the fix for others that might run into this problem:
Pick the correct Library which will let you sync with iTunes without it asking you to set up your new phone and profile.
Now, SSH into your phone and browse to:
and drag the contents to a folder on your computer.
Now browse to:
and copy over all the files you just backed up from the step above.
The next step is to SwapTunes to the new Library and dock with your computer. iTunes will no longer ask you to restore your profile, however it will show all of your sync settings from the previous Library.
Uncheck the stuff you don't want syncing to this new Library and mark the things you DO want to sync to it. Press the Sync button when you're ready, and iTunes will make the adjustments.
Now whenever you swap Libraries, iTunes will show you the correct profile
Well, the thing is that iTunes doesn't ask for setting up a new profile when you cancel it (uncheck all items).... it just creates empty library ready for syncing....
So basically when I synced it with my old library on phone, it copied music from my laptop (one album) and only that album is showing up on the phone. When I swap tunes, bum, we come to empty library. It's empty as well as when it's synced with itunes (the "Music section" on iphone is empty).
What do you want me to do? Copy all files from new library (empty) over the files from old library (the one that contains all vids and music synced from my other computer)? What would happen that way? only .db files and other config files will be overwritten, and again there won't be anything imo....
What do u suggest?
You need to restart your device after swapping.
The fact that you are swapping in a blank library is proof that the application is doing what it's supposed to, and thats shuffle folders around.
You need to follow the steps I outlined above, and take note to restart after you swap, and then try to sync. Itunes should show your existing library, although nothign is infact in that folder, its simply reading the db files. Uncheck everything and only select the things you want to sync in this other library and give it a go.
When it syncs, you should notice that the colored data-bar below should turn orange to represent your other library which is now regarded as "Other Files."
hmm, yes. I've done all that stuff... but seems like db files got corrupted after the switch. (or rewritten with empty db files (the ones from new itunes, cuz i swapped twice and connected to same machine). Dunno what to think..... I am pretty much certain that db files lost info of all data, so my best bet would be to remove iTunes_Control at all.... just wondering what would happen with other stuff (contacts, photos, etc)?
Having problems installing Swap Tunes.
I am currently using firmware 1.0.2. I tried to install Swamp Tunes v0.02 through iBrickr. It installed but never really seemed to work. So, I decided to uninstall the program (through iBrickr) and then try re-installing it. Now whenever I try to install the program through iBrickr it never installs. iBrickr downloads the program and tries to install but I am never prompted for a soft reboot and the program is never installed.
Can someone help me correct this problem? I really need to sync between my home and work computer.
Thank you.
I deleted the iTune_Control_2 and restore from back up. But still, it is showing I have another 2 GB occupied as others. Those songs cannot be seen in iPod mode. How can I reclaim those memory?
Thanks very much.

Seems to be working just fine. When i switch it switches the libraries.
Any chance of merging capabilities? So you could play ALL your songs without having to switch back and forth?
Does this work on 1.1.1 firmware? Just installed it and after pressing switch, my music and video's are still there.
Never mind. I didn't have BSD installed.

text: DarrenVortex 112 Report post Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) I know I know it's a pretty long title! Well I guess I should say Hi first since I'm a newbie in Gamedev.net and this is my first post... Oh well, I guess I'll go right to the point then! I'm a programmer. I've explored many aspects of programming so I know basic computer science stuff (I'm actually language-independent now!), and now I want to make a game! Luckily, I have a designer who's made me a 3D spaceship in 3Ds Max, and right now all I really want to do is: 1. Create an phone game app (Preferably compilable for both Android & iOS) 2. Import the spaceship model (I have it in .obj format right now but max can convert to some other formats as well.) 3. Make it move up and down! I have many options in front of me: Cocos3d, Unity3d, jMonkeyEngine, and similar libraries / frameworks. But I don't really know where to start. I've tried some but haven't quite found the ideal choice yet. Things that affect my choice of framework are: 1. I hate Unity since it's GUI dependent, and I'm a low-level programmer (I see the world in text-based!). I don't use IDEs for app development, just a text editor and a Console + simply reading the doc and calling the APIs from code. I just want a framework / lib, not an entire SDK. 2. I'm still a beginner in game dev, so simple-to-follow and complete documentation and an easy-to-start-with library. 3. Easy 3D Support Now with these said, what do the masters suggest me to use?
