Bridge replacement work on 378 in the final stages
Fri, 01 Jun 2012 03:28:14 GMT —
Improvements to a road connecting the Pee Dee and Grand Strand are almost finished. By next week, the SC Department of Transportation hopes to have the last bridge on highway 378 complete so traffic can start using it.
Since the summer of 2009, DOT crews have worked on eight bridges on Highway 378 going across the Little Pee Dee River from Horry County to Marion County. Originally built in the 1940's, the bridges were considered structurally deficient. The newer versions are much safer.
"We did widen the bridges quite a bit, so they're wider than they were before. We've widened the shoulders a lot. A lot of the shoulders are paved now with guard rails, so you don't have those steep drop-offs on the edge that you used to have," says Travis Patrick, a DOT construction engineer.
The final completed bridge is expected to open to traffic next week, but that still leaves more work to do.
"We're still demolishing the old bridges. We've gotten a few of them already taken out. We're still working on the last four or five so that will still take awhile to finish up," adds Patrick.
Brian Dado owns the Park and Blow, a gas station right in the middle of all the construction. Five years ago, Dado bought it and in that time he's gotten to know his customers by their first name.
He believes the road work, and lower speed limit as a result, has hurt his business.
"Lot of people they don't like to drive 45, the speed limit. A lot of people take a different route because of that. They used to drive 55 and 65 on 378. Now it's 45 on most of it. Some people don't have patience. I like it that way to be honest," he explains.
He is glad his route to work will be safer.
"That's a positive thing and actually they should have done this long time ago," says Dado. "I'm hoping that when everything goes back to normal, the traffic will be back to normal. So hopefully that will help the business."
Dado wants to give his business a facelift, but he's waiting on the bridge work to be complete. The entire project is expected to be finished in August and cost nearly $32 million.

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of 2 drugs, perifosine in combination with temsirolimus in children with solid tumors. Neither drug is currently part of the standard treatment of solid tumors in children. Both drugs have been tested alone to treat solid tumors in children with little success. There is now new insight that if given together, perifosine and temsirolimus may work together to stop the growth of solid tumors and may also make them shrink. The doctor wants to find out what effects; good and/or bad, perifosine in combination with temsirolimus has on the patient and the cancer. The doctors are testing four different dose schedules of perifosine with temsirolimus and the patient will be asked to partake in one of the dose schedules. The dose schedule will be lower for those enrolled early in the study.
|Pediatric Solid Tumors
|Drug: perifosine + temsirolimus

Further study details as provided by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of perifosine + temsirolimus combination in children with cancer. [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- To determine whether pharmacokinetic serum levels of both perifosine and temsirolimus correlate with toxicity. [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
- To record preliminary data on the efficacy of the perifosine + temsirolimus combination. [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
- If previously resected tissue is available, determine whether molecular features predict response including, Elevated PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling, Elevated RAS/MAPK signaling, Cell cycle markers [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
|Actual Study Start Date:
|January 2010
|Study Completion Date:
|March 2017
|Primary Completion Date:
|March 2017 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: perifosine + temsirolimus
This is a single arm, phase I study. Eligible patients will receive a loading dose of oral perifosine on the first day, followed by a maintenance dose starting on the second day until progression. Each patient is assigned to a group according to their body surface area (BSA). Temsirolimus will be combined with perifosine at four dose levels to determine the MTD for the combination therapy. Temsirolimus dosing will start on the same day as the perifosine load.
Drug: perifosine + temsirolimus
The patient will take oral tablets of perifosine at a dose and frequency to be determined their height, weight and time when they enter the study as those entering early will be treated with lower dose levels (dosing frequency will vary from once a week to daily). The patient will receive an intravenous injection of temsirolimus once a week at a dose to be determined by their height, weight and time when they enter the study as those entering early will be treated with lower doses. In addition they will be asked to keep a medicine diary.

"The X Factor" went live for the first time in its second season on Wednesday night, but it wasn't Britney Spears or Khloe Kardashian the censors had to look out for -- it was judge Simon Cowell.
After Vino's performance (a member of L.A. Reid's Over-25 team), Simon had to be censored when he used a naughty British expression to tell his fellow judge that his choice of song for the contestant -- Nickelback's "Gotta Be Somebody" -- was a bad one.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Britney Spears' early years — a look back!
"I think you're more of a soul singer than a rock singer," Simon told the tattooed dad before turning his attention to L.A.
"If you don't mind me saying, L.A. -- you completely and utterly (expletive) that up," Simon appeared to say (the censors silenced the words from coming out on television).
Simon then turned "The X Factor" into "The seX Factor" when addressing what appeared to be show co-host Khloe's revealing top.
"You're looking very sexy tonight," the Brit said. "I think the air conditioning's on high tonight… It's very distracting."
Later, another saucy moment came courtesy of one of the contestants -- San Francisco's Adam Brock -- who asked if he could grab show co-host Mario Lopez's derriere after the singer performed J.Lo's "Dance Again."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Keepin' it real with TV's hottest reality stars!
"Mario Lopez, can I pinch your butt?" the singer asked.
"Oh! We gotta keep it PG-13 up here, buddy," Mario replied.
Demi Lovato too got in on the flirty action, after a stellar performance from Emblem3.
"You boys make me swoon," she said, hiding her face from the band on stage. "I can't look you in the eye when you sing to me because I'm supposed to be a judge and not, um, you know, flirting with you while you sing… But I love you boys. You're so talented!"
As for Britney, she seemed to do well under pressure in her first live outing (if a bit short on the adjectives). She told at least nine of the acts they were "amazing" throughout the evening of performances.
David Correy, the singer who recently found his birth mother through the show, actually got the compliment twice from the singer.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Former Disney darling Demi Lovato
"You were amazing," she said after he sang "My Love Is Your Love," a tune made famous by Whitney Houston. "You completely surprised me and I was not expecting that. I felt you and it was amazing."
Other contestants who got the "amazing" nod from the pop superstar included one of the surprise female standouts of the night – Jennel Garcia -- who sang Motley Crue's "Home Sweet Home."
"I felt like you rocked it out… I love your hairstyle, I love the way you dress, I love everything about it. It was really amazing," Britney said.
And like Demi, Britney was impressed by Emblem3.
"Your trio is amazing. You're absolutely adorable. I could watch you all night long. You guys were amazing," she noted.
"The X Factor" continues on Thursday at 8/7c on Fox.

wikiHow to Eject a CD From Your Mac
Three Methods:Trying the Basic CommandsEjecting a Stuck DiscEjecting a Physically Stuck DiscCommunity Q&A
It seems straightforward to eject a disc from the disc drive in your Mac, but what happens when the eject button doesn't work? If you have a disc stuck in your Mac's disc drive, try one of the methods below to force-eject the disc from your computer.
Trying the Basic Commands
1Press the eject button on the top right-hand of the keyboard. Be patient if the disc does not pop out immediately. Try pressing the button a few times or waiting a few seconds and then press the button again. If it doesn't eject, tilt the computer with the disc drive facing down and shake it gently as you press eject.[1]
2Drag the disc icon into the trash. If the eject button isn't working, locate the disc icon on your computer's Desktop and drag it to the trash can. The trash can is located on the far right end of the Application Dock on the bottom of the computer screen.
3Press and hold "Command" while simultaneously pressing "E."
4Find the disc in the Finder. Open the Finder, located on the bottom left of the applications dock. Look on the left-hand side of the pop-up window under "Devices" for the name of the disc in your drive. Locate the eject button directly to the right of the disc name and click on it.
5Eject the disc through an application if it is not in the Finder. In iTunes or DVD Player, click on the "Controls" drop-down menu located on the top toolbar and click "Eject Disc." You can also open iTunes and click on "Playlists" so that the left side bar pops up. Look for the CD icon with the appropriate name. Click the eject button directly to the left of the CD name.
Ejecting a Stuck Disc
1Press the search icon located in top right hand-corner of your screen. Type "Terminal" into the search bar. Open the Terminal and try typing either "drutil eject" or "drutil tray eject" and see if either command works. To close the tray, type "drutil close" or "drutil tray close."
2Open Disk Utility. Type "Disk Utility" into your computer's search bar. Open the application and locate the appropriate disc in the left sidebar. Right-click on the disc and select "Eject," or select the disc and then click on the blue "Eject" button on the top toolbar of the application window.
3Restart your Mac while holding down the mouse or trackpad button. Make sure you hold it down until your computer has fully restarted. The disc should pop out.
- If this doesn't work, try restarting your Mac while holding the Option key located two buttons to the left of the space bar. This will open up the Startup Manager.
- When the pop up of "bootable volumes" appears, release the Option key and press the Eject button in the top right-hand corner of your keyboard. The disc should then eject.
4Shut down your computer completely for at least ten minutes. When you turn your computer back on, work your way through the methods above a second time to see if any of them work after allowing the computer to rest.[2]
5Download DiscEject for Mac. DiscEject is a utility for Mac OS X that ejects stuck discs. Download the utility and follow the extremely simple prompts to eject your disc. You will need to be operating on Mac OS X 10.4 or later and no application can be using the disc in order for DiscEject to work.
Ejecting a Physically Stuck Disc
1Slide a business card thin piece of paper into the disc drive. Be careful when sticking foreign objects into your computer, as doing so can cause damage. However, if your disc is physically stuck, you can try pushing it into the drive with a business card. There is a possibility that the disc is not being read by your computer because it got stuck before fully inserting into the disc drive.
2If your Mac has a tray style drive, shut down the computer and look for a small hole next to your disc drive. Straighten out a paper clip and push it into this hole to force the disc to eject. Another option for tray style drives is to restart your computer and push a piece of thick paper against the disc for about one minute. Doing so causes the disc to stop spinning and forces the computer to eject it. Be very careful when inserting anything into the disc drive. Doing so may cause damage to your computer.[3]
3Take your computer to a professional. If none of the above methods work, take your computer to a computer repair store or an Apple store and allow a professional to physically remove the disc.
Community Q&A
A disc is stuck in the iMac drive. There is no icon on the desktop, and I can't open Safari or iTunes. I also can't shutdown or restart. How can I fix this?wikiHow ContributorTake your Mac to the Apple store for repairs.
Where is the eject button on a Mac?wikiHow ContributorAs in like a disc/USB drive? Top right in the taskbar or you can do it in finder where there's a little eject button next to it.

Product Description
Iron is a common problem in homes today. It causes red staining on fixtures, as well as turning clothes and sometimes even your hair a reddish orange color. Hydrogen Sulfide (mistakenly called sulfur quite frequently) is easily detected by the presence of a "rotten egg" odor, and is sometimes associated with yellow staining. Manganese is most often seen as a black slimy substance that builds in standing water, and may impart a metallic taste to the water.
All of these problems can be eliminated with the Air Injection Silver System. Using the principle of oxidation, the system uses a specialized Fleck 2510SXT to create a bubble of compressed air at the top of the tank. As water flows through the system the contaminates are forced into contact with oxygen. This causes them to oxidize into a larger form which is then trapped by the Chamsorb (Zeo-Prep) media.
Controlled by the Fleck 2510SXT control head, this system automatically backwashes. The backwash process uses no chemicals, simply using the force of water to clean the media and flush the contaminates down the drain while replenishing the air bubble. Made by Fleck, the #1 manufacturer of control heads in the US, the digital control head allows for easy user interaction, automatic backwashing, & a professional look.
The patented piston design allows for air injection in a single tank, which is a significant advantage over two tank or venturi (inline) injection systems. By containing the oxidation process to a single tank routine maintenance is reduced, part replacement and associated costs are decreased, and less space is required.
The lack of chemicals does not mean a lack of performance, as this does an excellent job of treatment. This system is great for those with low dissolved oxygen levels and lower levels of iron, sulfur, and/or manganese, or those just looking for a more advanced system without taking the price jump to the Platinum or Gold series systems. If you do have strong sulfur odor, or high levels of iron, please refer to the platinum series air injection for best results.
More Info
Replacement Media:
CMSORB-10 - Qty Needed:1
GRNT-LB - Qty Needed:20
Service Flows
Service flow rate is the manufacturers recommendation for maximum contaminate removal at a constant flow for media alone. Intermittent flow rate and/or lower contaminate levels MAY allow higher treatment flow rates. Addition of air injection can also increase service flow rates.
Backwash Flow Rates
The backwash flow rate is the minimum rate that MUST be available to ensure proper backwashing and adequate media life. While lower flows can be used and MAY provide adequate results, using less than the recommended flows WILL void the satisfaction guarantee. Warranties on the tank and control valve will remain unaffected.

New handguns and special badges are in line for Seaside police.
The City Council on Thursday will be asked to set aside $50,000 to buy handguns, ammunition and equipment to replace .40-caliber Glock semiautomatics that Seaside officers have used for the past 12 years.
The new handguns, recommended by a police firearms committee, will be Glock 41 Gen4 .45-caliber semiautomatics, Police Chief Vicki Myers said in a council report.
The .45-caliber round has better stopping power and accuracy than the .40-caliber round, Myers said.
"The majority of the officers shot better with the .45-caliber round and documented favorable subjective impressions," she said.
The money for the guns is available from savings in the police budget and a favorable mid-year budget review, Myers said.
Meanwhile, officers are being given the opportunity to buy special badges that mark 2014 as the 60th anniversary of Seaside's incorporation. An officers' committee recommended a "retro style" badge for the anniversary. Officers can wear them this year, after which they will be retired.
On the mid-year budget, the council will be told the city is in better shape than it was last year when it passed the 2013-14 spending plan.
A boost in car sales increased sales tax revenues and helped put the city "in better shape than we have been for several years," City Manager John Dunn said in a report.
That leaves city reserves stronger, but still below what City Council policy calls for, he said.
Mid-year budget changes include providing money to make the fire chief full time, hiring an associate planner and paying for 3 percent employee raises, the report says.
Also Thursday, the Seaside council will consider:
· A status report on a new city law banning unhitched trailers on public streets. Community response has been positive and during January there were 45 complaints investigated, the report says. Forty were resolved with warnings and five citations were issued.
· Accepting a stormwater master plan with alternative fee proposals to support increased costs to maintain and improve the system. The plan says $50 million worth of improvements and upgrades are needed.
Larry Parsons can be reached at 646-4379 or firstname.lastname@example.com. If you go
·What: Seaside City Council meeting
·When: 5:30 and 7 p.m. Thursday
·Where: Council chambers, 440 Harcourt Ave.

Countdown to a Tax Hike
The tax code is in flux—and taxpayers should prepare for a wild ride.
The best advice, experts say: make a few important moves now, and be ready to react quickly in the months ahead.
To recap: At year's end, rates on ordinary income, interest, capital gains, dividends, gifts and estates are set to jump—in some cases sharply. Other tax...


text: 11 years going, Honda Day brought yet another great event. Compared to the last few years, I have to say this year was a lot more organized and well run. Granted arriving at the venue at 6am, there was hardly any traffic getting to the track. Great job and I hope this continues in the future. Another change this year was the addition of a VIP car show section. Competitors, prior to the event, had to submit photos of their car in order to be entered into this section and I thought this was great. It was nice to have the more elite class of cars in one section rather than to have to weed them out throughout the 800 other cars that attend the show. On the other side of the bleachers was some exciting drag racing. 8 second turbo civics and 9 second all motor cars running down the 1320. I can remember when I first started going out to races, if you were running 10's or even 11's, that was considered Fast. Anyways, congrats to OGS for putting on another great event and putting together a fantastic give-a-way car. For those that wasn't able to make it, click the photos above to jump to the gallery.

ABC News' Yunji de Nies and Karen Travers report:
First Lady Michelle Obama kicked off her two-day visit to Mexico with a mixture of culture, policy and song and dance.
At the Escuela Siete de Enero, an elementary school in a low-income neighborhood in Mexico City, the students screamed with delight when the first lady stepped out of her vehicle.
"Mi-che-elle," the children chanted loudly. There were large signed with the students' handprints that read "Bienvenida Sra. Obama" – Welcome Mrs. Obama.
The first lady was given flowers and kisses on the cheek from a young female student.
While she is not here touting her "Let's Move!" campaign, Mrs. Obama did observe a phys ed class and even joined in for some drills, a follow the leader-call and respond dance.
The students rewarded the first lady with a large conch shell that they had used in the dance routine.
"That was beautiful. I loved the singing, I loved the dancing," Obama said at the conclusion. "I loved to see you all moving and exercising. So just know today you made your country proud. Everyone here today got to see the best of Mexico's young people."
Obama said that of all the things she does abroad, what she likes best is getting to see smart intelligent students.
The first lady did her version of a ropeline – complete hugs instead of handshakes.
With Mexico's first lady, President Felipe Calderon's wife, Margarita Zavala, Obama toured the Museo Nacional de Antropologia, which holds the largest collection of ancient Mexican pieces in the world.
The first ladies were treated to a performance by the National Program for the Promotion of Music, which encourages artistic expression in young Mexican children. The National Children's chorus, which is made up of kids from around the country, including some with special needs, performed.
The two first ladies met for about 45 minutes this morning at Los Pinos, the official residence of Mexico's president.
According to aides to Obama, the two discussed drug addiction treatment and early prevention programs as well as the importance of the humane treatment of unaccompanied migrant children.
"Mrs Obama and Mrs. Zavala underscored the importance of engaging families and communities in tackling the challenges facing young people in both countries as a key to helping build a better future for the United States and Mexico," a statement from the first lady's office read.
Later today Obama will deliver a speech at Universidad Iberoameriana, the signature event of this two-day trip.

text: Hi There! I'm not a programmer, but I'm an aircraft designer so I know something about this stuff. The shockwave 3D lights install only on default aircraft. There's no apparently simple way to find where the landing lights are located in fact. There's one "hacker" way tough. Looking inside the MDL file the landing lights are stored somewhere. One way to understand where may be to create gmax (or FSDS) models containing only landing lights, and sortuing out where they are. Cross-checking their coordinates in gmax/FSDS and attempting to find them out in the MDL file. a crude way is to use an already existant tool such as MDLC or MDLDisas to dump the model and read inside the output text file. Once you have the landing lights positiona, creating a program that adds landing light effects inside every aircraft.cfg should not be a hard task. Any takers? Thank you!

Metro: Bill would potentially extend Virginia lines
A bill that would potentially extend Metrorail farther into Virginia to ease area traffic congestion has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. It comes as the Washington area was listed as having the second-worst commute in the nation.
Congressmen Gerry Connolly and Jim Moran have suggested a study of the extension of Metrorail into the Woodbridge area of eastern Prince William County, the Richmond Highway corridor of southern Fairfax County, and the Centreville area of western Fairfax County.
The bill would study how an extension of the Orange, Blue and Yellow lines would impact congestion on the highways.
"We need to look at solutions that take cars off the roads and provide viable transportation alternatives for our citizens," Connolly says. "Whether or not we determine that Metrorail is the best solution, we must begin the conversation now."
Congressman Moran says Northern Virginia's roads are the most congested with some commuters sitting in traffic for hours each day.
"Every $1 invested in public transit yields $4 in economic benefits. As the population in this region continues to grow, so much our public transportation infrastructure," Moran says.
The bill cites three potential Metrorail projects: extension of the Blue Line along the I-95 corridor, including the Engineer Proving Grounds through Woodbridge to Potomac Mills in Prince William, extension of the Orange Line to Centreville, and extension of the Yellow line along the Route 1 corridor, including Fort Belvoir.
Connolly says not only would the extensions reduce traffic congestion, it would boost the economy.
"We have already experienced the benefits of transit-oriented development along Metro lines in Arlington, Alexandria, Vienna, Merrifield and Tysons," he says.
Tuesday's Census report lists the average one-way commute for the D.C. region in 2011 as roughly 34 minutes. The national average is about 25 minutes.

Got a new smoke hollow propane smoker for christmas. Was wondering if painting it with BBQ Paint prior to seasoning would extend the life. Thanks.

Thread Starter
Hello Bill. I don't own that smoker. I assume you are not going to take it back to bare metal and then apply new paint. Seems to me that if the factory paint comes away it will take your spray job with it. I would just use it for a season and then take a wire brush to it if need be and repaint. Just my opinion. Good luck.

Actress Courteney Cox Arquette and her 4-year-old daughter Coco were spotted running some errands in Malibu. Somewhere along the way, Coco changed her outfit. Dad is Courteney's husband of 9 years, David Arquette.
The 44-year-old actress recently talked about the joys of motherhood and her struggles with infertility: "I can't imagine life without a child; I don't even remember what it was like four years ago. Coco is everything to me. We did a lot of in vitro fertilization, and it was tough. But we'd waited a few years before trying, and in retrospect I would say: don't wait as long as I did, especially if you want more than one child."

Defence Minister
But in an interview with The Australian Financial Review, a former US deputy assistant secretary of defence, Thomas Mahnken, said the cuts were of concern in Washington.
"Australia has historically made major contributions to the alliance but recent spending cuts have raised real concerns in Washington as to whether that will be the case going forward," said Mr Mahnken, who was a deputy assistant secretary for policy planning between 2006 and 2009 and responsible for major strategic planning functions in the Office of the Secretary of Defence.
His comments follow remarks reportedly made by US Assistant Secretary of State for East Asia and the Pacific Kurt Campbell.
Coalition defence spokesman
Several US officials and former officials, and Australian and US analysts, have questioned whether the Gillard government's May budget cuts have undermined its ability to support the US. They include the head of US Pacific Command Admiral Samuel Locklear and former deputy secretary of state Rich Armitage. The Gillard government cuts were the worst in percentage terms since the Korean War in 1953 and the worst as a percentage of gross domestic product since 1938.
But Mr Smith dismissed suggestions that concerns over the cuts would be raised at talks with his US counterpart Defence Secretary Leon Panetta in Perth on Wednesday. "I've had discussions with Leon Panetta both before the May budget and after on a couple of occasions ... and I have made the point we're not doing [anything] which will undermine the alliance,'' Mr Smith said.
But Senator Johnston said it was "outrageous the way the minister has sought to verbal a senior US official''.
"Kurt Campbell is only reflecting the view from Washington which has been repeated by officials and analysts that Australia's May budget cuts went too deep,'' Senator Johnston added.
"The Americans are concerned about Australia's cuts and how that might impact on our ability to support them in future.''
But US ambassador Jeffrey Bleich said yesterday Dr Campbell's comments had been "misconstrued'' and he was simply saying both countries referred to their defence budgets to help determine their priorities.
Labor has cut the defence budget to just 1.6 per cent of GDP, the lowest it has been since the 1930s.
The Australian Strategic Policy Institute's Mark Thomson said the
Mr Thomson observes: "The US is spending 4.7 per cent of GDP on defence while we have been cruising along below 2 per cent for the past 18 years. It's clear we've been free-riding at each and every stage of our 60-plus years of alliance with the US."

Pokemon Platinum Version
How do I get to Darkrai?
I have him in my Diamond but can't remember how I got him!... Do I need the Lunar Wing???
printer32 - 8 years ago
Top Voted Answer
places you could have got one from(legit only)-
1. Nintendo event
2. Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia secret mission(no longer available for download)
There is hope since you have Platinum. In Japan nintendo released lots of WI-fi gifts including Darkrai. These events started to come here with the recent secet key event...
Darkcat1 - 8 years ago
well you need the membership card which HAS NOT been given out yet. that means yours is a hack.
pkmndudeman - 8 years ago
Currently the only way to get Darkrai is from an event.
Soulwriter - 8 years ago
if u have AR, you can get Darkrai by doig the following
1 go to fullmoon island or newmoon island[not sure which]
2 use run through anything code, and keep running right until u are on new or fullmoon island
therealjamez - 8 years ago
Actually if you do that darkrai wont be there so you either need to get the nintendo event or use the pokemon modifier to get any pokemon you want .
supaswagman - 8 years ago
yes, Darkrai will be there. How do you think i got mine?
therealjamez - 8 years ago
Hopefully the membership pass event(Darkrai) will be announced for america or europe ( When it comes out ) ( japan's ended) as it has not been announced yet(www.serebii. net can help out more)
Cyndaquil96 - 8 years ago
There are several ways to get a Darkrai.
1) Go to any of the Darkrai events in several continents. However, they aren't always happening, and currently I don't think there are any.
2) Go to an event that gives out the Membership Card via Mystery Gift. When you have recieved the item, you can then go to canalave city.
3) If you have an Action Replay (hacking device) or some other form of hacking device, you can try a combination of the walk through walls codes and darkrai event codes which I'm sure you can find somewhere off the internet.
Hope this helps :D
Nintymaster123 - 8 years ago
Like Manaphy, You can get Darkrai from playing Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia. If you like Pokemon Ranger, this is the best way to get one without having to go to an event or using an Action Replay.
kirbyrulesall64 - 8 years ago
Darkcat1 is correct. The only legitimate ways to get Darkrai is:
1) through a Nintendo event, like the one at Toys R Us some months ago.
2) through a special downloadable mission in Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia (currently no longer available)
If you had lost him but still have his info on your game, then you can at least trade for another (good luck getting anyone to be reasonable with THAT though!) Otherwise, just be patient & wait for the next distribution.
sonicking2004 - 8 years ago
Why can't you just trade Pokemon within your two games? Thats what I did.
KADABRAx - 8 years ago
On fullmoon island use ar walk through everything walk east or west.
zeldamaster96 - 8 years ago
Two options:
1. This is only if you are patient. Wait for the event that gives out a membership pass and go to that Inn place in the north-east corner of Canalave City. You will fall asleep on the bed and appear on New Moon Island. Darkrai is there.
2.Buy an action replay and use the walk through anything feature. Go to Full Moon Island (after getting the national Dex, go to the sailor's house in Canalave and talk to the kid in the bed, then talk to the dude who will take you to Iron Island. Say yeas to go to Full Moon Island where Cresselia is) and walk across the ocean to the right until you reach New Moon Island.
Cheeze111 - 8 years ago
Lunar wing is for kid in the cresselia event. For darkai you must have member pass. For get it in . . . . Or you see another answer. In may is can't member pass but you can used ar code for get darkai. Ar code get in neosekker, supercheat , and another.
andibad - 8 years ago
hi. i think getting darkrai from a code is easer than getting it from a special event. and trading it from pokemon ranger, to d/p and then trading it again over to platinum. But you could do it the hard way or the easy way.
tartartartar - 8 years ago
You trade with me
jeremy9891 - 8 years ago
I see a calender, now you must used ar code for get it or trade someone.
andibad - 8 years ago
Find it in the GTS.(I used ar to get the event Members Pass in diamond and a shiny code to get it shiny and dunno if it's hack or only the item is hack.)

Potlatch Depot a Restroom and a Rug (RxR)
Volunteers 'Rocked' the walls & 'Rolled' the paint. All we need now is a Restroom and a Rug and our 15-year long Depot project is done
Have you ever wanted something that was just out of reach? Since I was young, I've wanted to be a locomotive engineer. But I didn't have 20/20 vision, so the railroad said "No".
Now my vision of finishing the WI&M Railway Depot Restoration & Renovation (RXR) in Potlatch is coming up short, too. We need to buy a few final materials and hire the contractors to install them.
We need a Restroom and a Rug: A plumber to build our restroom and a carpet layer to install a hallway rug. We've tallied thousands of volunteer hours and raised a lot of revenue. But we're a little short of the funds needed to finish.
We applied for several grants in 2015. We won an Idaho Historic Trust grant for $5,000. We were awarded a $24,900 grant from the Inland Northwest Community Foundation,too!
But we missed the cut on the third grant. That makes us $9,500 short.
We need your donation. With enough donors, we'll win Idaho Gives one final time–and the $2,500 first prize for most donors to a small nonprofit.
The Depot RXR has been a 15-year project. Now, with a Restroom and a Rug, the Depot's second floor business cooperative will be open for business!
Our tenant's businesses will grow the local community and build the local economy. The success of these entrepreneurs will guarantee the depot's future, too, long after we're gone.
We have several tenants moving in and more on the way! Rental revenue will preserve our grand old Depot and allow our historical group to finally pursue our primary interests: Expanding our museum, and sponsoring more cultural events in our freight room, over the rails, and on our boxcar stage.
You can see by the pictures of the Depot's second floor, we've done what we said we'd do. We've done good work and you can see how close we are to finishing. With your donation,you will make the Depot self-sufficient for many decades to come.
Honor us with a donation of any amount. Then come visit us during our annual Depot History Day & Speeder Rides on July 9th,2016. There you will see first-hand what your generosity has accomplished!
PS – We'll honor 15-years of Depot RXR volunteers and patrons, show off the Depot's new second-floor Restroom & a Rug, and have a Rockin' & Rollin' celebration in our freight room to mark the completion of the Potlatch Depot's Restoration & Renovation!
You're invited to join us. We look forward to thanking you in person. Thanks so much for your support!
As kids we waved at the train. Did you? Saving local railroad history is where we started. Repurposing our depot and railway is our mission.

Electronics Repair Questions? Ask an Electronics Technician
Hi and welcome to Just Answer! My name is XXXXX XXXXX I will be happy to help you with this.
I will need some more information first. What type of disks are you using? Brand, speed? Is the DVR getting unusually hot durring this process?
Unfortunately these disks are quite picky. They don't like certain types of disks and you will get the "Dirty disk" error a lot when using any brand but Sony. (Go figure, huh?)
I would attempt to use another type of disk first, preferably Sony.
I would also get a lens cleaner disk and run that as well.
That will rule out the cheap simple stuff, and if you have more trouble please reply here and I will be happy to assist you further.

The first driver on four fresh tires for a restart on Lap 205 at Auto Club Speedway, Kyle Busch passed Stewart-Haas Racing teammates Kurt Busch and Tony Stewart on the next-to-last lap, bringing rookie Kyle Larson with him.
Able to keep Larson behind him on the final lap, Busch crossed the finish line .214 seconds ahead of the 21-year-old, who had won the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at the two-mile track one day earlier. The victory was Busch's second straight and third overall at Fontana, his first of the season and the 29th of his career.
Kurt Busch, who like Stewart took right-side tires only on the final pit stop on Lap 200, ran third, followed by polesitter Matt Kenseth and Stewart.
Until the final seven laps, the race had all the makings of a routine victory by Jimmie Johnson, who had a commanding lead over Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon as the event approached the regulation distance of 400 miles.
But Johnson, who led 104 laps, blew a left front tire and drove his car to pit road, handing Gordon the lead. No caution.
Brad Keselowski suffered his third left rear tire failure a lap later but stayed out of harm's way. No caution. The same fate befell Marcos Ambrose on the same lap. No caution.
Finally, when Clint Bowyer's Toyota spun on Lap 198, thanks to a flat left rear tire, NASCAR called the caution that set up the two-lap dash to the finish.
After sidestepping tire issues and later rallying from an early pit-road speeding penalty and a pit-entrance warning light mixup, Jeff Gordon had a potential fourth career victory at the 2-mile track in sight. On what was shaping up to be the final green-flag run, Gordon was running second to teammate Johnson before his car developed a vibration with 15 laps left in regulation for the 200-lap race.
With tires wearing out 20 to 25 laps into a green-flag stretch, Gordon and crew chief Alan Gustafson read the tea leaves and backed off their pace. When Johnson's No. 48 slowed with a flat left-front tire with six laps left in regulation, it left Gordon in front by a comfortable margin but with a cautious outlook for the home stretch.
The lifespan on tires was beginning to expire on the Southern California pavement as the checkered flag neared. Shortly after Johnson's trouble, Ryan Newman, Marcos Ambrose and Clint Bowyer developed problems, forcing Bowyer into a spin and bringing out a final caution period to put the race into green-white-checkered overtime.
The final yellow spelled disaster for Gordon. He dropped from the lead to take four fresh tires and emerged from pit road in seventh place behind gambling teams who took two tires or none. Though he was lined up directly behind eventual winner Kyle Busch, who restarted fifth, he found himself pinched on the low side and bogged back in the running order after the frantic scramble for positions in the two-lap shootout and finished 13th.

It was a stellar round 1 of the Presidents Cup for the U.S. side, as they dominated their foes from the International team for a 5 1/2 to 1/2 lead after alternate-ball match play. While most the matches were close, the U.S. team, led by Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Steve Stricker among others, were seemingly unstoppable by the end.
Afterward, Woods and U.S. team captain Jack Nicklaus sat down and talked to the media about the U.S. domination on day one.
Q. There were an extraordinary number of pretty poor shots, not necessarily in your match, but in all matches coming down the stretch. Do you feel that there was a lot of pressure or was the course playing tough or the conditions were tough or again, was it just the pressure of the competition?
TIGER WOODS: I think it's just the nature of foursomes. Foursomes is a strange animal in itself; when you get rolling, it's the greatest format in the world. But when things start going awry, it's amazing how it just snowballs so quickly because you don't have a chance to re-right yourself right away with your own game. You're alternating, you're waiting, you may not have hit a putt, you may not have hit an iron shot, you may not have hit a drive and all of a sudden you're counted upon. Basically four holes, you're dealing with quite a bit of water, and anything can happen.
Q. Could I just get your thoughts on what it's like to be in such command at this point? It's been a long time since the U.S. has jumped out to this type of start, 5 1/2 to a half, it seems like it's always fighting to get back into the ballgame for a miracle on Sunday.
TIGER WOODS: We've been on this side in the last two Ryder Cups - oh, it's the European side. (Laughter) This was I guess reminiscent to what we did in 2000. We got off to a pretty commanding start, and I guess we were under Captain Venturi and basically rolled from there.
We're a long ways away from the end of this thing, there are so many points available. Second session tomorrow, you know they are going to come out with some of their best pairings and top guys out early and try to turn this thing around. We need to still go out there and play well and get our points.
Q. After everything that was said on how strong this International Team is; surprised about how overall it went for the U.S. today?
TIGER WOODS: Well, if you look at what we - one of the things I say, every time you ask us about the difference between the Ryder Cup, why we keep losing all the sessions, if you look at it, the Europeans are up early, and up early in the match.
And in this format, there's only 18 holes. It's so hard to come back from a 2-or 3-down deficit, especially this caliber of players. It's really hard to turn that around. If you look at all of our matches out early, they were all up. It's amazing how the guys towards the end tend to feed off of that and hopefully tomorrow we can go out there and do the same thing and put a bunch of red up there early and keep the momentum that we built today into tomorrow.
Q. Your comments on the play today?
JACK NICKLAUS: Needless to say, if you would say if this is what I expected the results to be, I would say no. But am I happy with them? Absolutely I'm happy with them. Our guys played well. They played well down the stretch. Even the match that they halved - Austin holed about a 12-footer at 16. Phil holed a 20-footer at 17 and Austin came back with about a 12-footer at 18 to just halve the match. And so they all played great coming down the stretch.
Time after time, they just did what they were supposed to do, and Gary was right, it was very close. Could have gone either way. There's a lot of golf to be played. We've got a full four-day tournament in front of us, a four-round tournament in front of us, so a lot of things can happen.
Q. Did you decide to concede Vijay's putt on the 18th in the Weir match? It was pretty long.
JACK NICKLAUS: It was about three and a half feet. I think that Phil and Woody made the right decision, and they both felt that Mike, you know, had played a good match; and Mike being a Canadian and being here, that it was the right thing to do. And I'm glad they did. I would support it 100 percent.
Q. Going back to the conceded putt, would it be the right move that you would applaud if this event were played in the U.S. or South Africa or something?
JACK NICKLAUS: I think it's up to the players playing. You know, I think that all I said to them when they were there is I said, "What do you want to do with Mike's putt?" And they both looked at it and turned around and said, "It's good."
I think they felt like they had a great match, they had six holes they tied, six holes that the U.S. won, six holes that the International Team won, and they just felt they all played well and I thought that - I guess they felt that there shouldn't be a loser in that match. I thought it was a good decision.
If it was played somewhere else, I would say if it was the second, third, or fourth round, we probably wouldn't do that. Maybe the last round, if it sits there, if it makes the outcome of the match, in the spirit of what we are playing these matches, I think that's the important part.
I think Gary and I both have stressed that throughout the matches that we want the guys to walk away from here feeling like, you know, we didn't get everything we could get. But we gave everything we could give, and meaning from themselves and golf and spirit of the game and sportsmanship.

Coming off his thrilling British Open victory over Sergio Garcia in 2007, Padraig Harrington sat down to discuss his game and his chances at the 2008 U.S. Open. "I have spent my last 10 years trying to adapt my swing to play U.S. Open golf," Harrington said. "I'd say the last two years, that and the Masters have attracted my attention more than anything else."

Wikipedia Overview
Norwich is a town in Windsor County, Vermont, United States, located along the Connecticut River opposite Hanover, New Hampshire. The population was 3,414 at the 2010 census.
Early History
The town of Norwich was chartered on July 4, 1761, by Gov. Benning Wentworth of New Hampshire, to a group of men from Tolland County, Connecticut. Some of the original proprietors visited the area during the summer of 1763 and several summers after in order to survey, clear, and prepare the lands for settlement. The first families were living there by 1767. An illustrative description of the early years of the town is found in the biography of John Slafter. At that time, both Colonies of New York and New Hampshire lay claim to what is today the State of Vermont, and both governors were selling land charters in the disputed area. A useful history of this situation is given in the Wikipedia article on New Hampshire grants.
Early pioneers of Norwich included John Slafter, Jacob Fenton, Ebenezer Smith, Capt. Hezekiah Johnson, Daniel Waterman, Peter Thatcher, and James Huntington.[1]

Don't Go Crazy with College Debt
What can you do to ensure you receive an outstanding education and a well-deserved degree at a reasonable price? There are a few different routes to help lower the price of your tuition before, during and after school.
Maybe you are naïve like I was, as a senior in high school. At 17 years old I thought "it doesn't matter how much college costs, I'll just take out a bunch of loans and pay them back right out of college when I have my awesome dream job."
A few years older and wiser I realize taking on a loan for $160,000 with interest is a frightening thought, especially when my salary right out of college will most likely be around $35,000 a year.
Getting your self into that much debt is not a good idea, especially with our economy…even if they say it's getting better.
Choice of College
The college or university you decide to attend makes a big difference. Do your research to see what the college offers and what tuition includes.
For example, a student at DePaul University claimed she was in the fashion-designing program. There is not a fashion-designing program at DePaul. Another example, at Western Michigan University a degree in aviation costs $10,000 more than regular tuition.
If you want to go to a state school in Texas, but you are a resident of Illinois your tuition will be significantly more than if you went to a state school in Illinois. However, some colleges do offer lower rates for out-of-state students. For the sake of student loan debt, make sure it is worth it to go to a state school outside of your state.
Private Universities may seem more costly, but many have the ability to give more grants and scholarships due to their private donors. Ask about what they can offer you. The cost may be lowered similar to a state school's tuition.
Attending a community college or junior college for your first two years can cut costs drastically. Every degree begins with basic requirements. In the end, if you choose to transfer, your diploma will have the name of the University and not any other place of learning.
U.S. News complied a list on where colleges rank. This obviously is not the definitive list, but it is a suitable reference.
Last but not least just keep an open mind, because your dream school could be one you might not expect.
It's one of those "everybody does it" situations. It is probable you will still have to take on some sort of loans, but the less the better.
Pay attention to the interest rate if nothing else, because it effects how much you actually pay back. If you have a $10,000 loan at 7% fixed rate compared to the same loan with a variable rate; the amount you pay back can be profoundly different. Naturally, a higher interest rate means more money you will ultimately need to pay back.
There are various options of obtaining student loans. Banks, private lenders, corporations, credit card companies, and your school are few that offer loans. Please, READ THE FINE PRINT! I know it's annoying, but you need to know what you are signing your life away to. It's a real contract, no joke. Sorry, no takesie backsies.
Most student loans offer a grace period of about 6 months to a year until you must start paying back your loans. It's a pretty nice offer, but if you have a job and are able to make a payment- do it. The longer you wait the longer it will take to pay off…not to mention the added interest.
Here is a tip- for those unsure about abilities to make the payments right away. Set up a bank account and put the money you can pay into there, until your grace period is finished. This will allow you to start budgeting and ensure you can make the first couple of payments no problem.
Making a larger payment instead of the minimum payment will help minimize your debt. I know you want to buy an awesome Michael Kors watch, but I promise if that money towards your student loan instead you'll be better off.
You can use an interest rate calculator to figure out what you are getting yourself into.
What are Grants? Are they just kind, generous guys named Grant that just give you a bunch of money to go to school? Unfortunately, no. They are still relatively generous though, Grants are funds that you usually do not pay back. These funds come from the federal government, state government, colleges, and private or nonprofit organizations.
Students receive these funds for various reasons; you just have to apply. Applications for each year start in early January, but you can still apply now. Usually the earlier you apply means you will receive more aid. Amounts of these funds vary. If you are unsure how to apply, ask your college's financial aid department to help you. After all that is what they are there for!
More funds for college you are not expected to repay! Scholarships are pretty similar to Grants, yet scholarships can come from a wide variety of places for countless reasons. The amount of money awarded can vary from hundreds to thousands. Even if you earn a scholarship for $500 it could possibly pay for your books.
Why would somebody give you a scholarship? Mainly that person or organization has an interest in helping make your education dreams possible. The scholarship provider is usually interested in the topic or type of scholarship.
For example, a local bank may have a $500 scholarship for academics. All kinds of scholarships are available including bowling (like Melissa), basketball, football, Native American heritage, music talents, height, religion, interests, blogging, and many more!
How do you receive this awesome thing called a scholarship? There are several ways to receive scholarships. Some scholarships are simply entered by inputting your name, email address, DOB, and year in school. Other scholarships may require more information, an essay, and maintenance. Maintenance may consist of upholding your GPA, employment, or position on a team.
Apply to as many of them as possible, because it is no guarantee you will receive the first one you want. It can be a frustrating and time consuming process, but it is well worth it.
Here are a few website to help get you started:
- This scholarship search tool is offered by the U.S. Department of Labor.
- Bigfuture offers search options based on keywords or a profile.
- Scholarships.com offers scholarships after creating a profile.
- CollegeNET offers search options based on keywords or a profile.
- First offers scholarships specifically for science and technology.
- ScholarshipPoints offers drawings for scholarships based on earning points.
*Be careful of scams. Never pay money to look or apply for scholarships.
Many students hold an employment position within their college or somewhere near campus during school. Just ask your advisor where and when to apply. Students who work as they attend school can help pay for books and tuition. Paying for some things will help reduce the debt of years to come. Employment also has the opportunity to open up other available scholarships.
529 Plans
A 529 plan is a growing fund specifically for college education. If it is not used towards education you must pay taxes on it. On the up side, if it is used for qualified higher education expenses (QHEE) then it is tax deferred. This type of fund requires planning ahead. A 529 plan is usually something set up years ahead of time by a parent. This is a fund intended to grow and it is tax deductible throughout the years. This is a great option if you have the time and the willpower not to withdrawal from it. If you are interested in learning more about 529 plans one of our FatWallet members wrote a great forum post about it.
Gift Card Rebates
A FatWallet member bought items and received free after rebates, then re-sold the item. Free after rebates usually come in the form of gift cards. Therefore the item he sold was free to him, which meant money in his pocket. By doing this he was able to pay a noteworthy portion of his tuition. If you are still wondering how he made it happen, you can check out the details of our past blog.
Shop Smart
If you can purchase items with cash back, coupons or discounts, that is more money you can put towards your college funds. So shop at FatWallet! 😉
Overall Cost of Your Degree
If you are still unsure on how much your education will cost you, try a online net price calculator. It is not a guarantee, but it is a decent guess.
Earning your degree is important, but if you can do it for less money why not? There are countless people drowning in their student loan debt, do your best to avoid becoming one of them. Now that I am a few years older, I realize being able to eventually afford a house mortgage after college is something important to me.
Yet, remember your education is an investment in yourself you will have for the rest of your life. With that said paying for college is not an unfortunate cost.
Best of Luck,

In an educational system where the public schools continue to fail a significant number of its students and in certain cases failing certain groups of students more disproportionately than others, a charter school is usually a welcomed sight. The intent of a charter school is an opportunity to provide an innovative approach to fix some aspects of a failed or failing education system; a place where students are placed so that they may be given the special attention provided to kids in a private school and in an environment that enables success.
Several success stories have been well-documented in the New York Public school system. On the other hand, when Dozier Libby Medical High School was inaugurated back in the 2010 academic year, the concept of a specialty school was received with great fanfare. A school where students can be trained and channeled into the medical field, be it nursing, be it pre-med or be it a technical degree where graduating students can immediately start a career, if they chose not to go to college. However, what has happened, continues to happen and has been allowed to happen at DLMHS, is an insult to every resident of the Antioch Unified School District, and a slap in the face of majority of residents who live in the district. This is why:
1. Since inception, an unprecedented 37 percent of all students have either been forced to leave or have seen the writing on the wall and left before they were kicked out. All students, not just African American kids or Latino kids, but of course majority of these 37 percent are African-American. 2. Of the approximately 80 graduating seniors each year, only two African-American male students have ever graduated from DLMHS — 3. Some 44 percent of African-American students who started at ninth grade no longer attend DLMHS. 4. A whopping 73 percent of English learner students, over 90 percent of whom are Latino students, admitted since the 2010 school year, no longer attend DLMHS — 5.64 percent of special education students for one reason or another, no longer attend. The above statistics obtained from the Antioch Unified School District confirms that only a selected few who are high achievers are welcomed at DLMHS. That is contrary to what a school funded with scarce public dollars should be.
DLMHS is a school founded with very high hopes. A place where any student, not just high performing non-English learners, non-African American learners — who gets chosen through the lottery admission system — will obtain the best support to succeed. What the place has turned to is a place for predominantly smart white students — a school for the elite.
If you do not fit into that mold, you are classified as sick and recommended for "curing." Curing you ask? This is a room where students who get below-average grades, are sent while other students are having lunch.
DLMHS is a wasted opportunity, which has now manifested into a private club. A private club that has now applied through the back door without input from the school board or community to become a charter school. An institution that has failed woefully at supporting the average and below-average student and now wants to excruciate itself from the public school oversight so that it can continue to exclude 44 percent of its population, while receiving an above proportional share of public funding to cater for its chosen ones.
The East County National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) ask the citizens of Antioch, who are disgusted and feel impugned by the leadership of DLMHS, to implore the Antioch Unified School District board of directors to nip this nonsensical act in the bud and immediately constitute an independent community board of education to investigate the documented report of systematic exclusion at DLMHS.
Nancie Castro's success at DLMHS has been well-documented and we do not fault that. However, who would not succeed in such an environment where only the smart few are allowed to stay. This is not the Marines.
If Nancie Castro wants to lead a private school where she does not have to deal with below-average kids, there are numerous schools out there that would welcome her. However, if she chooses to remain at DLMHS, her fiduciary responsibility is to educate all students and ensure that the struggling ones are provided adequate assistance needed and not shown the door.
Enough is enough!
Odessa Lefrancois is the President of the East County National Association for the Advancement of Colored People 1055.

LAHORE, June 26: A health department spokesman has said the Punjab government intends to improve the service delivery level at Shaikh Zayed Hospital and it is ready to pledge additional resources for this purpose.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, he said salary package of the staff of Shaikh Zayed Hospital was being disbursed as before. He said all development schemes would be completed through bridge financing by the Punjab government.
The spokesman said Rs159 million were allocated in the next financial year for completion of second floor of the hospital. He said the federal government had earmarked Rs780 million at the start of financial year 2011-12 and then approved a supplementary grant of Rs558 million but released only Rs436 million in first seven months of the financial year.
He said the Punjab government had released an amount of Rs678 million for the remaining five months which is more than the released amount of the federal government.
The spokesman said: "For the fiscal year 2012-13, Rs1.226 billion has been allocated for Shaikh Zayed Hospital as its current budget. The institution has its own resources through various user charges out of which the hospital can also meet the requirements."
The spokesman dispelled the impression that the hospital would face financial hardships during the next year.
He assured that the Punjab government would fulfill all genuine needs of the hospital for maintaining rather improving the current level of services.
LGH: The Lahore General Hospital administration has selected 62 doctors to fill vacant posts of house officers.
These recruitments have been made under the PMDC Rules, House Foundation Year 2010.
According to a handout issued on Tuesday, 184 candidates were interviewed by a panel consisting of Post-Graduate Medical Institute Principal Dr Tariq Salahuddin, LGH Medical Superintendent Dr Muhammad Hassan and professors of various departments at LGH. The selected doctors will join duty on July 1.
Dr Tariq said new house physicians and surgeons had been selected on merit and they would be given stipend on a monthly basis according to government rules.
He expressed the hope that new recruitments would go a long way in enhancing the service standard and availability of medical facilities in the hospital. — Staff Reporter

I would like to know how to make cake boards with ribbon around it. Thank you!
This is how I make mine: cut a piece of foamcore the size I need, roll MMF directly onto it until the board is covered and smooth, then put the board on top of my turntable, and apply Tacky glue to the edge, while turning the turntable so it's easy to get the glue all the way around. Then add a ribbon, pressing it into the glue to be sure it's secure. Let the ends overlap a bit and glue the end down, then let the whole thing dry for a day or two.
Is there a way to do it without MMF?
You can cover the board with almost anything.
<----This one is a black vinyl Halloween tablecloth from Walmart (cake is on it's own board. The ribbon is actually two ribbons. I chose a pink ribbon close in size to my foam core board and glued a black ribbon on top of it. I just used a small amount of hot glue to attach the ribbons.
you don't have to cover the board with mmf, you could cover in paper, and then some press n' seal wrap or clear contact paper. I usually hot glue the ribbon to the edge, but if the ribbon will show spots (some darker red and pinks will show where the glue was, it'll show up as a dark spot on the outside of the ribbon)......for those I just use a good ol' tacky glue that goes on white and dries clear. it takes longer to dry than the hot glue, so that's why that's my first choice.
Thank you!
I would like to know how to make cake boards with ribbon around it. Thank you!
I've been posting information for about two weeks now here on the board about a new line of pre-cut foamcore cake boards which will be available in a couple weeks.....they will be available in the next couple weeks in 1/2 inch and 3/16 inch thicknesses, covered with a water and grease-proof styrene surface on both sides. All you will have to do is glue a ribbon around the edges....I use an elmers glue stick for this.
I will be posting information when these become available for purchase.
In the mean time, you can cut your own foamcore of wooden boards, cover them with a grease-proof coating such as contact paper, then glue the ribbon around the edge.
Thank you Jeff_Arnett! I just wanted to say~I'm a hobby decorator and only make around 12-14 cakes a year. Also, what is foamcore and where can you get it?
Thank you Jeff_Arnett! I just wanted to say~I'm a hobby decorator and only make around 12-14 cakes a year. Also, what is foamcore and where can you get it?
Foam core is a sturdy board made from a high density styrene core with a paper covering on both sides. While it comes in many sizes, most craft stores carry the 20 x 30 inch sheets in 3/16th and 1/2 inch thicknesses.
Most people use 3/16 between tiers and 1/2 inch for bases. The material is very light weight but strong and doesn't flex, making it a good material to make boards from. Craft store boards are not sealed, so you need to cover them just as you woudl cardboard. The boards I mentioned that will be available soon come with a FDA approved styrene covering on both sides that is grease and water proof so no additional covering is needed....you can glue a ribbon around the edge for a nice finished look. These boards should be on the market in a couple weeks.
thanks for the info on covering a board. i have a plywood board for a 5 tier cake coming up that i need to cover.
so can i wrap the board in paper, and then cover with clear contact paper? then glue the ribbon around? will the glue stick to the contact paper?
also, the press n seal is a good idea. this may be a stupid question, but is it clear? i have never used it, but i thought it was kind of opaque.
has anyone ever used clear cellophane wrap (the kind to wrap cookie trays and gift baskets). will the glue stick to that?
I have always covered my boards with freezer paper. It has a waxy side that is water and grease proof.

Amsterdam is a town in Montgomery County, New York, United States. The population was 5,566 at the 2010 census.[1] The town is named after Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands.
The town is adjacent to and borders the city of Amsterdam on three sides. The town is on the county's northeastern border.
The Erie Canal passes along the southern border of the town.
The region was controlled by the powerful Iroquois Confederation's member tribe, the Mohawk, prior to the entry of Europeans into the area.
The town was first settled around 1715, but most settlement did not take place until Sir William Johnson established his first seat of power in the region at Fort Johnson (earlier known as Mount Johnson), prior to founding the city of Johnstown.
The town was formed in 1793 from part of the previous "Town of Caughnawaga," which had been established in 1788 and named after a local Mohawk community. Caughnawaga was a large town, constituting much of Montgomery County north of the Mohawk River until its subdivision eliminated it. The division of Caughnawaga also create the towns of Broadalbin (in Fulton County), Johnstown, and Mayfield (Fulton County).
The village of Amsterdam was incorporated in 1838 in the south part of the town. As the village grew toward becoming the city of Amsterdam, it took in more territory inside the town. The town of Perth (also in Fulton County) was removed in 1838.
In 1865, the population of Amsterdam was 5,135.

Decreasing Revenue, Increasing Branding?
Well I guess if there's a silver lining to any economical cutbacks communities are going through these days (at least signage-wise) is that it appears restrictions against branding in certain parts of the country may be lessening. According to 89.3 KPCC Southern California Public Radio, the LA City Council is moving ahead with revisions to its existing sign ordinance, which might (mighty-big emphasis on "might") permit commercial signing in parks and city-owned spaces remains. Now whether or not we want to debate if this is actually a good thing or not, is the bigger questions here, "Is the current economic climate leading to more reevaluations of sign ordinances and regulations—at least in regards to helping a business owner?"
This might be something worth keeping an eye on over the coming months, as we see cities and/or communities looking for ways to raise revenues. Would an increase (or relaxation of ordinances) for branding and signage be a possible solution? How do you, as a sign professional, feel about this?
Now I'm not sure I would've been in the mood to see ads for the Yogi Bear movie in a public park myself, but you do have to admit that Smokey the Bear forest fire prevention wraps could make some sense here, right?
