The following step-by-step tutorial/guide will help you in running fully unlocked and jailbroken iPhone 3GS with iPhone firmware 3.1 on a Windows PC without having to wait for Windows version of PwnageTool or redsn0w.Jailbreak iPhone 3GS 3.1 on Windows Mac version of the tutorial can be found here.

NOTE: This guide is for those of you who are on a jailbroken firmware 3.0 or 3.0.1. If you have updated to firmware 3.1 from iTunes but have saved your SHSH file to Cydia then you can still jailbreak but you’ll first have to downgrade your firmware back to 3.0 or 3.0.1. Complete guide on how to downgrade your iPhone 3GS to firmware 3.0 or 3.0.1 from 3.1 can be found here. In any other case, you are pretty much out of luck for now.

Step 1: Make sure you have downloaded the latest version of iTunes if you haven’t already.

Step 2: Now connect your iPhone with your PC. You must connect it to a single usb port on the backside of your computer. Do not use any usb hub or the ports in the front as this could result in an error during update process.

Step 3: Start iTunes. Sync your iPhone with your PC so that iTunes backs-up all your important data including settings, apps, music, contacts and photos.

Step 4: As a Windows user, you will have to now download a custom firmware for your iPhone 3GS which has been cooked on OS X using PwnageTool 3.1.3. Don’t ask us for the download links for these custom firmware files. Just Google “iPhone 3GS Custom 3.1” or “iPhone2,1_3.1_7C144_Custom_Restore” and use one of the torrent links to download the custom created .ipsw file

Step 5: Once you have downloaded the required .ipsw file, Move it into the following location depending on the Windows version you are using:

“C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates\”  (Windows 7)

“C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates\”  (Windows Vista)

“C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Update\”  (Windows XP)

Step 6: Restart iTunes. You will now be prompted to install the new firmware 3.1 from iTunes. DO NOT UPDATE from this prompt. Just close this dialog by clicking on “x” from the top right-most corner of the window.

Step 7: Now you will have to restore your iPhone to this custom firmware 3.1 that you have downloaded for iPhone 3GS. Click on your phone from the sidebar in iTunes to get to this screen as shown in the screenshot below:

iTunes 9.0.1 on Windows 7

Step 8: Press and hold left “Shift” button on the keyboard and then click on “Restore” (Not “Update” or “Check for Update”) button in the iTunes and then release the “Shift” button.

This will make iTunes prompt you to select the location for your downloaded custom firmware 3.1. Select that custom .ipsw file and click on “Open”.

Select iPhone2,1_3.1_7C144_Custom_Restore file

Step 9: Now sit back and enjoy as iTunes does the rest for you. This will involve a series of automated steps. Be patient at this stage and don’t do anything silly. Just wait while iTunes installs the new firmware 3.1 on your iPhone. Your iPhone screen at this point will be showing a progress bar indicating installation progress. After the installation is done, iPhone will restart automatically and you should now have a fully jailbroken iPhone 3GS running on firmware 3.1.

You can now follow the tutorial/guide posted here to unlock iPhone 3GS on firmware 3.1 using ultrasn0w.

Step 10: Once you are done with the unlocking and jailbreak process. You can now restore all your settings, apps, music, contacts and photos to the newly installed firmware version 3.1 by restoring the backup that you made in Step 2 from iTunes.

You can follow me on twitter or join our facebook fanpage to keep yourself updated on all the latest jailbreaking and unlocking releases.

Feel free to ask me any question here should you run into any problem during the update process.

As stated on numerous occasions, the number of image-based apps post-Instagram has grown at an incredible rate, and although many boast a plethora of great features, minimalism is oft overlooked, yet can yield some beautiful, elegant results.

VSCO Cam is a new App Store entry by Visual Supply – a team strictly following a strict “less is more” motif, and its visions and goals are presented with aplomb in this marvelous demonstration of a well-polished digital film emulation app.

It offers a vast range of useful features and effects – all of which enhance your photo while also maintaining its features. It has a nice, clean, two-tone UI which manages to avoid looking drab and monotonous, and the functionality is just as smooth.

It’s simple to navigate, so unlike similar apps, it’s none-too difficult to master, and once you’ve loaded and added the desired visual effects to your image, you can easily share them via the major social media sites.

Similarly to 645 PRO, which we featured a couple of weeks back, VSCO is part of a new breed of apps purporting to offer a more serious and professional take on the instant editing culture initiated by the likes of Instagram.

Fairly soon, you’ll be able to upload them to your own “VSCO Site”, which we can only presume will be Visual Supply’s own attempt to grab a bite off the Instagram pie.

As you can imagine, the developer recommends using the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S for the best results – with the 8-megapixel snapper of the latter being the optimal choice. That said, it doesn’t do a bad job on the iPhone 3GS, 4G iPod touch, or the iPad.

It costs a cent shy of a buck over at the App Store, and is certainly worth the investment. If you’re a fan of minimalism, clean and to-the-point apps, you’ll be in your element with VSCO Cam, and if it does evolve into its own network, the fact it edits uncompressed JPEGs could prove to be a big hit with the more professionally-inclined consumer.

Redskins To Face Another Top Rushing Attack In Cowboys Matchup

Since Dallas drafted Ezekiel Elliot in the first round and Dak Prescott in the fourth of the 2016 NFL draft, things have been pretty one-sided in the Cowboys-Redskins matchups.

Dallas has won every game since then, with an average margin of victory of almost 12 points.

The Redskins didn’t only struggle against Dallas last year, they had a tough time with the entire NFC East. Sunday marks their first divisional matchup of the year, and a chance for the team to write a new story, which head coach Jay Gruden is well aware of.

“We were 1-5 last year in the division, we got swept by the Cowboys last year. We know how important division games are [and] we know how important the Cowboys game is to a lot of people in this area,” Gruden said. “Players all know, they all know what the rivalry means. We haven’t fared too well the last couple of times we played them, so it's going to be important for us to come out of the gate, come out of the tunnel, and play fast."

Getting a fast start certainly helped in last week’s win over Carolina, as Washington turned an early special teams fumble by the Panthers into a touchdown.

But there’s another key that jumps to mind when thinking about a matchup with Dallas: doing anything to limit Elliot’s impact on the game.

The young running back’s career against Washington has included over 100 yards on the ground in each matchup and five touchdowns over three games. Elliott ran all over Washington last year, when the Redskins boasted the worst run defense in the league (134.1 rush yards allowed per game).

This year should be different, as Washington has made a concerted effort to bolster their run defense by using a first-round pick in last year’s draft to get the best run-stopper on the board.

“Defensively, we've got to stop the run. I think that is an Achilles heel, that’s part of the reason we drafted Daron Payne, for games like this, for Zeke Elliott and the Philadelphia Eagles, the New York Giants, Saquon [Barkley],” Gruden told reporters Wednesday. “I think stopping the run; we have had marginal success but not good enough against the Cowboys.”

Payne has been exactly what Washington needed in the run defense department. He, along with second-year defensive end Jonathan Allen, has aided Washington in allowing the sixth-fewest rushing yards per game in the league this season, averaging almost 40 fewer allowed per game.

To be fair, last year’s squad was so injured it’s almost unfair to compare it side by side with this year’s. Allen missed both matchups with the Cowboys his rookie year due to injury. Now he's healthy and thriving, and none of the defensive starters have missed a game this season. It's a big reason why the Redskins have a top-10 defense in 2018.

And it’s not like they’ve only faced teams ill-equipped at running the ball. Coming into last week’s game, Carolina had averaged 154 yards per game on the ground, the most in the league. Washington held them to a little over half that, and running back Christian McCaffrey only managed 2.5 yards per carry.

In Dallas' favor, Prescott is coming off his best game running the ball in his career after rushing for 84 yards and a score against Jacksonville.

Gruden told reporters that facing a running back and quarterback combo like McCaffrey and Cam Newton last week was good preparation for Dallas’ tandem at those positions.

“Yeah, I think it's very similar actually. They are very effective in what they do,” Gruden said. “They can hit you in the pocket and they can get outside the pocket and they have all the zone reads. They are both very good, so it's good we had some experience with that.”

Gruden wasn’t the only one singing Elliott and Prescott’s praise, as many of the Redskins players are all too familiar with the Cowboys’ offensive success. Safety D.J. Swearinger Sr. emphasized how important it is to have a plan when tackling Elliott.

“You’ve gotta know if you wanna hit him high to get the ball or hit him low to chop him down, but whatever you’ve gotta do you’ve gotta wrap with Ezekiel Elliott,” Swearinger Sr. said. “He’s not a guy you can just go down and dive at his ankles. Even if you hit him, you know you’ve gotta wrap him.”

Linebacker Mason Foster agreed with Swearinger Sr. about the need to stay disciplined in the run game.

"...At the end of the day it’s going to come down to us playing them and being physical in the run game because as soon as you’re undisciplined and you don’t execute Zeke will pop one, he’s that good of a back he has that good of vision," he said.

But it’s not just the defenders who had something to say about Elliot. Washington’s featured backs Adrian Peterson and Chris Thompson recognized the talent they’ll be watching from the sidelines this Sunday.

“The patience he runs with. He’s a strong runner, great vision, but the patience is what I really like,” Peterson said when asked what about what makes Elliot stand out.

Thompson, when asked the same question, elaborated on the Pro Bowl back’s ability.

“Everything. I mean, he was drafted in the first round for one so that says enough in itself. But I think he’s one of the top-five runners in my opinion in this league,” Thompson said. “I mean he’s a guy who falls forward for two or three yards after contact almost every single time. He’s crazy athletic, able to hurdle defenders. A fast guy as well, he’s one of those backs that pretty much just has the total package.”

The Redskins will try to make it hard for him to deliver.

 League of Legends™ Premier Tour elevates Vienna to major eSports city status - ReedPOP

League of Legends™ Premier Tour elevates Vienna to major eSports city status

May 22, 2018

Reed Exhibitions exclusively hosts the official Austrian qualifier for the LoL European Masters.

Vienna (22nd May 2018). – This year, what began in 2017 as the premiere of the largest ever live League of Legends (LoL) event in Austria, has now moved up to the European level. For the first time, Reed Exhibitions, ReedPOP and Riot Games have brought the LoL Premier Tour to Austria. The Austrian round of the tour is to take place at the Vienna Challengers Arena (VCA) at Messe Wien on the 17th & 18th of November 2018. It’s a unique opportunity for LoL gamers to pick up the vital Premier Tour points required to qualify for the LoL European Masters – the equivalent of the Champions League final of this globally popular online multi-player game.

Benedikt Binder-Krieglstein, CEO of Reed Exhibitions in Austria, is not alone in being thrilled to have landed such a coup: “It’s a quantum leap and a sensational achievement to have attracted the official tour’s winter season qualifying event to be held exclusively here in Vienna. The chance to host the League of Legends Premier Tour live on site, and to bring together the country’s masters of eSports for one competition, has launched the Vienna Challengers Arena into higher spheres. To draw a comparison with tennis, last year we hosted a ‘Challengers’ tournament, this year we’re welcoming the ATP 1000 Tour. Close cooperation with Riot Games has enabled us to pursue our goal of tailoring and developing young and dynamic events for new target groups.” Lance Fensterman, Global President of ReedPOP, explains: “The Reed Exhibitions’ subsidiary ReedPOP enables us as organisers to devote ourselves completely to pop culture, in particular to gaming, entertainment and comics. eSports are extremely popular at present and that’s where we’re investing all our energy. The fact that the LoL Premier Tour is coming to the Vienna Challengers Arena is the icing on the cake. Having established the VIECC Vienna Comic Con four years ago we can now offer an even bigger highlight in Vienna; something we are delighted about.”

eSports burgeoning in Austria

The importance of staging this type of premium live event in Austria is also expressed by Dr. Niki Laber, the president of ÖVUS – the Austrian Association for entertainment software, and by Stefan Baloh, the president of ESVÖ – the Austrian eSports Association. The presidents of both associations agree: “Hosting the official League of Legends Premier Tour stop in Vienna, the only European Masters qualifying tournament in Austria, will bring the eSports community even closer together and help this relatively young sport to reach new heights over here.”

eSports are still new and were only given an official gaming industry format in the Asian countries at the beginning of the millennium. The trend is now growing in popularity in Europe and the eSports boom is very evident in Austria too. A gfk study conducted last year showed that every second Austrian played computer games on a regular basis, increasingly on smartphones and tablets. Roughly the same proportion of men and women play. The typical player isn’t always young. Indeed, according to the study, the average gamer is 35 years of age.

LoL Premier Tour in Vienna: Competitor eligibility and fees

The Premier Tour stop in Vienna is a complete tournament round culminating in a grand final. The competition is open to all teams with players rated platinum-class or higher in the LoL ranking. Players must be at least 16 years of age and be Austrian, German or Swiss citizens.

The top eight teams that survive the online qualification rounds, the Open Qualifiers, are pitted against the best eight teams from one of the previous tour stops in a best-of-three mode. The four most successful teams from this Closed Qualifier go through to the two-day final event held in front of crowds of spectators on the main stage of the Vienna Challengers Arena at Messe Wien.

The best-of-three semi-finals on Saturday are followed by a grand best-of-five final on the Sunday.

The best eight teams in Vienna collect Premier Tour points. The two teams that have earned the most Premier Tour points at the end of the winter season qualify directly for the European Masters. Moreover, the winning teams can look forward to the best financial rewards, upgrades and benefits ever offered in Austria.

The whole eSports scene is thrilled

The eSports community is abuzz with the fantastic news. Sebastian Langer, coaching and eSports manager of GamerLegion: “Last year our team, the Angry Gorillas, won the LoL tournament in Vienna. Perfect conditions, an electric atmosphere and extremely tough opponents helped to push us to our limits. Obviously, we want to be involved and to seize the opportunity to secure enough points to qualify for the European Masters when the LoL Premier Tour comes to the VCA for the first time.” Eni’s gaming name is ‘XoYnUzi’ and is both an LoL player and a scene influencer, and was elated by the sensational news. “Previously, the profile of such prestigious eSports events was only high in other countries, so it’s a major step to see the LoL Tour making a stop here and putting Austria firmly on the European eSports map. It guarantees this area of gaming a lasting image boost.”

Florian Schermann, Category Manager of the Vienna Challengers Arena responsible for this project, knows just what the Vienna LoL tour stop can mean to a player: “These events produce big surprises. Spectators go wild and are just as excited as the crowds at public screenings of football games. Competitors need consummate skill and nerves of steel. Amateurs that master this challenge have proven they are good enough to step up to the ranks of the professionals. (+++)

Islamic feminism: The case of Morocco

Morocco is the leading Arab country in integrating women in religious frameworks. Religious feminists in Morocco, like their Jewish counterparts in Israel, believe in advancing their status within the religious establishment

In early May, some 7,000 women sat the public notary test (ma’dhoun shara’i or adoul,) throughout Morocco. This was a historic first time in which women were permitted to apply for the public position in the kingdom, until recently reserved for men alone. Public notaries oversee a variety of transactions, including sale of property, commercial contracts, and matters relating to marriage, divorce and inheritance.  King Mohammed VI issued a royal decree opening the post up to women in early 2018 and charged the Minister of Justice with executing the decision – a testament to his enduring power over the country’s political system as well as his role as spiritual leader.

Other Arab countries took this step several years ago, among them Tunisia, Egypt and the UAE. Yet Morocco appears to be leading the Arab world in terms of integrating women into the religious establishment, as part of the king’s agenda to strengthen moderate Islam. Over a decade ago, Rabat saw the opening of L’Institut Mohammed VI Pour La Formation Des Imams, Morchidines et Morchidates – an institution for training both men and women as religious guides. The women are trained in the spirit of “Moroccan Islam”, which emphasizes a moderate interpretation of Muslim law (shari’a) and incorporates elements of the popular Sufi Islam prevalent in Morocco. They are then sent to work as spiritual guides in various districts of the kingdom and operate as part of the education system, due to the institution’s declared policy of fighting radical Islam.

In other words, this advancement in the status of Moroccan women is largely a top-down development led by the political and religious establishment and backed by legislation. As far back as 2004 – a year after the mass terror attacks in Casablanca – the king decided to change the ‘family code’ law (the Moudawana). For the first time, the law made both spouses the joint heads of the family, eliminated women’s dependence on their husbands’ will, raised the marriage age (from 15 to 18), restricted polygamy and gave women the right to custody of their children after divorce. This wave of change has continued steadily despite objections, primarily by Islamist elements such as the Justice and Development Party (PJD), Morocco’s ruling party in recent years.

The king  enjoys the support of country’s strong civil society groups and especially women’s organizations, most of which are headed by educated, urban, secular women. These women took part in the 2011 Arab Spring protests that led to amending the country’s constitution to enshrine gender equality in it for the first time. They are fighting not only for legal changes but also to change conservative attitudes, especially in rural areas where law enforcement is lax. Child marriage and domestic abuse, for example, are still fairly common in these parts of Morocco. Yet the big cities are not immune to offensive norms, such as sexual harassment or assault in the public domain – an issue that has particularly come to the fore over the last year.

A leading figure in Moroccan feminism is Asma Lamrabet, a physician and scholar who has authored several books on the status of women in Islam. But Lamrabet's approach, as a religious woman, is fundamentally different to that of her secular counterparts, who publicly oppose the principles of shari’a. For radical Islamists in Morocco, however, this makes little difference: under their pressure, she was forced to resign from her position as director of the Centre d'Etudes Feminines en Islam (Islamic Women's Studies Center) earlier this year. The pressure to leave was apparently the result of her call to end discrimination against women in Islamic inheritance law, while discussion of amending a similar law was under way in the neighboring Tunisia.

Islamic feminism and the diversity of feminist activism as we see in Morocco is rarely discussed in Israeli media or academic discourse. The status of women in the Arab and Muslim world is usually discussed in simplistic terms, focusing mostly on head covers as a way of measuring the extremism of a person or a society. However, religious feminism and the search for advancing the status of women within the framework of religious law is a well-known phenomenon in Israel, too. In fact, some argue that the women working for equality within Orthodox Judaism are spearheading a true revolution among the religious public in Israel. Religious study centers for women are popping up; women are participating in rituals until recently reserved only for men, such as feminist Orthodox minyans; religious women’s organizations such as Kolech are being founded; and there are even female rabbinical advocates in the courts. Much like in Morocco, these changes have usually met with opposition by the patriarchal establishment.

At the end of the day, in Israel, like in many Arab countries, these far-reaching changes are also bottom-up processes driven by the women themselves. Traditional and religious feminists in the region, while undoubtedly influenced by Western ideas, are largely not looking to tear down existing cultural and religious institutions and frameworks, but rather seeking avenues for change within them.

Chinese steel prices hit five-week-high amid demand hopes, supply worries

BEIJING (Reuters) - China’s steel prices hit a five-week-peak on Thursday amid expectations of firmer demand as the government takes steps to support the economy and on concerns that supply could tighten as winter production curbs bite.

Workers check on seamless steel pipes at a factory of a steel products manufacturer in Cangzhou, Hebei province, China December 16, 2018. REUTERS/Stringer

The outlook for demand from construction was buoyed as two cities in China relaxed restrictions designed to curb real estate flipping - the latest sign of efforts by local governments to revive flagging property sales.

Meanwhile, China’s central bank on Wednesday rolled out a targeted policy tool to spur lending to small and private firms.

“Policymakers have taken more steps to ease downtrend economic pressure, which would help to further boost market sentiment,” analysts at Huatai Futures said in a note.

Benchmark Shanghai rebar steel prices rose as much as 1.8 percent to 3,492 yuan ($506.09) a tonne, a level last seen on Nov.16. It settled up 1.5 percent at 3,481 yuan.

Expectations of tighter supply also helped drive up China’s ferrous market, with top steelmaking hub Hebei forecasting that smog will blanket the region from Dec. 20 to Dec. 24.

At least three cities in Hebei, including provincial capital Shijiazhuang, have ordered industrial plants and miners to limit operations to lower toxic emissions, state-backed national radio reported.

Cities in northern China have recently ordered steel mills to curtail additional output towards year-end as local authorities scramble to meet annual air quality targets.

“Utilization rates at Chinese steel mills are expected to maintain their downward trend in the coming month ... However, steel mills will still have restocking demand as their inventory of raw materials remains at low levels,” analysts from CITIC Futures said in a note in Mandarin.

The most-active iron ore contract on the Dalian Commodity Exchange climbed 1.9 percent to 496.5 yuan a tonne when the market closed at 0700 GMT, just shy of the day’s peak of 497 yuan, its strongest in four weeks.

Coking coal futures fell for a fourth straight day, down 1 percent at 1,191 yuan a tonne after plunging as much as 3.7 percent in the previous session.

Dalian coke prices inched up 0.3 percent to 1,986 yuan.

Thousands of FGM cases recorded in Britain

LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Thousands of cases of female genital mutilation have been identified over the past year in Britain, according to data published on Thursday that experts said showed the need for stronger action to tackle the illegal practice.

More than 6,000 women and girls who visited a doctor, midwife, obstetrician or another public health service in England between April 2017 and March 2018 had undergone FGM at some point in their lives, official figures showed.

Some had previously been identified as having had the procedure, but almost 4,500 cases were recorded for the first time since the government made it compulsory for medics to report FGM in 2015.

In most cases, the ritual was carried out abroad on women born overseas.

But 150 of the women were born in Britain and 85 had undergone the procedure inside the country.

Janet Fyle, policy adviser at the Royal College of Midwives, said the numbers were “very worrying” and raised concerns over the effectiveness of safeguarding practices.

Orchid Project, a charity working to end FGM worldwide, said more needed to be done to end the practice, working with communities where it is prevalent.

“Focus should be on prevention to keep girls safe,” a spokeswoman for the group told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

FGM, which usually involves the partial or total removal of the external genitalia including the clitoris, can cause serious physical and psychological problems and complications in childbirth.

The number of newly recorded cases was down 16 percent on the previous year but attendances to health services where FGM was identified or treated remained stable at more than 9,000.

“FGM devastates lives. To help us eradicate it, we must first understand the scale of the problem, which is why we collect data,” said the mental health and inequalities minister Jackie Doyle-Price in a statement.

An estimated 137,000 women and girls in England and Wales have undergone FGM. Many cases go unnoticed because they had happened at a young age and abroad, campaigners say.

The practice mostly affects immigrant communities from various countries including Somalia, Sierra Leone, Eritrea, Sudan, Nigeria and Egypt.

FGM has been a criminal offense in Britain since 1985. Legislation in 2003 made it illegal for British citizens to carry out or procure FGM abroad, even in countries where it is legal.

But police and prosecutors have yet to secure a conviction.

“A successful prosecution would have a deterrent effect but we know it’s not easy,” said Jacqui Hunt, Europe director at women’s rights group Equality Now, adding FGM happened in secret and it fell to girls to report on their parents.

Had a fitment issue with this seat that still turned out to be a great experience. I was a bit past the return period and revzilla was still happy to authorize a return. In the meantime, mustang seats was in the process of redesigning the mounting bracket on the fender to accommodate my complaint. I did not have to return the seat. It took mustang seats about 2 weeks to redesign and finalize the new bracket and it arrived in my mailbox a week later. The seat now fits even better than I could have hoped for. The customer service from revzilla and mustang seats was 100% top notch.

As far as the seat goes. The seat is a tad wider in the thigh than the stock seat. This could be a negative for a really short rider. The seat sits maybe an inch shorter and pushes you forward about an inch also. The added back support is the best feature. No more sliding backward during full throttle pulls. You stay very much in place making it an excellent seat for long rides. All mounting points are covered making it a very clean and seamless flow with the original shape of the breakout.

This is an excellent seat in all criteria and the service I received from both companies really shows how much they care about their customers/products. Couldn't be happier with the outcome.

Special Offer - January BOGO Free on all Brushes / just add 2 to your cart - excludes Phantom series.

Tucker® Aluminum 30 Single Hose

In stock

The Tucker® aluminum range of water-fed poles are available in a number of sizes as well as configurations.

The configurations are referred to as ASH, ADH, B, and C methods.

The ASH (Aluminum Single Hose) method consist simply of a single hose line running up the pole and connecting at the base of the gooseneck. The aluminum gooseneck is a flow through design meaning the water flows through the gooseneck and into the brush head assembly. From the head assembly the water is diverted in 2 directions to the 2 flow screws on the bristle side and then out onto the surface to be cleaned. This is the simplest configuration.

The ADH (Aluminum Dual Hose) method consist of a dual hose line with 2 independent water lines and connections. One line flows into the base of the gooseneck like described in the ASH method and the other comes outside of the top of the pole and enters an over the top fan jet sprayer. The water flows out the flow screws in the brush as well as out of the over the top fan sprayer. This method is often chosen for cleaning solar panels because you are able to put a large amount of spot free water on the panels and clean very quickly.

The B and C methods both introduce the Tucker® soap dispenser into the equation for those looking to use soap to help clean.

The B (bypass) method is a single hose set up like the ASH method pole where the water flows into the base of the gooseneck and into the flow screws. Included in the B method is a Tucker® soap dispenser. The B method dispenser offers the user the ability to delivery soap to the surface to be cleaned. The soap would be delivered via the flow screws in the brush. You can bypass the soap dispenser and deliver only water by turning a valve on the dispenser. This allows you to deliver soap to the surface during your agitation / scrubbing portion and then bypass the soap to deliver only water for your rinse.

The C (combination) method utilizes the dual hose line and the over the top sprayer. One of your hose lines is connected to your water supply independent of dispenser and the other end connected to your over the top fan spray rinse jet. The other hose line is connected to the outlet of your soap dispenser and then to the flow jets inside the brush via the gooseneck. You then have the option of running soap up through the pole and out the brush flow screws while rinsing with water over the top of the brush at the same time with your fan jet. This is an excellent method for those looking to clean building that have not been cleaned in a very long time or heavily soiled awnings as well as solar panels.

This is the ASH model 30.

The clamp bodies are a unique design made from a light weight aluminum material and carry a LIFETIME WARRANTY.

The lightweight anodized aluminum sections are very high quality.

The clamps operate with a smooth action and have superior holding strength.

They are bolted on not glued which means if you ever have to service them it will be extremely easy.

The aluminum gooseneck is incredible strong and available in many different lengths.

Comes with the worlds best Tucker® Nylon Dual trim brush and premium pole hose and fittings.

Should you need to add to this pole you can buy more sections at a later date.

Posted on April 20, 2012 in Alcohol and Drug Treatment, Detoxification, Interviews of Right Step Alumni, Success Story

Success Stories: “The Right Step Saved My Life” – Part II

The following story comes directly from a person in recovery and a The Right Step alumnus. For his privacy, we have removed all references to his name. However, we hope that this story will inspire others who are addicted and their loved ones to seek out recovery programs like The Right Step’s to learn how to live life sober.

To read the first part of this story, please click here.

My previous treatment center experience in 2001 was not a good one. This one [at The Right Step] was refreshing from the moment I stepped onto the property. There was humor, love, and a feeling of serenity like I had never experienced.

I spent five days in detox, where the nurses continually assured me that I was going to be okay. I emerged from detoxification and checked into the residential program, which began a 30-day journey full of laughter, tears, structure, balance, insight, solution, reflection and, most importantly, hope.

My most memorable experience at The Right Step, and there were many, was about two weeks in, when a counselor asked me to talk to one of the clients that was checking out that day. He had only been there a week and felt he didn’t need it. I remember at that time feeling like a piece of crap…what did I have to offer? She asked that I just talk to him about my story, and I did. Remarkably, he stayed…that day and the rest of my time there. I actually helped someone and, in doing so, I helped myself.

Another moment of awakening was in group…the counselor handed out obituaries of clients that had relapsed and were taken by the disease. These obituaries were ones that the loved ones and families [of the victims] had asked to be shared with us. I read each obituary with no emotion, no feeling, and then one hit me like a lightning bolt…I knew her. She was a friend, she was a name and a face that was real. It was someone I cared about. I broke down and cried. Why her and not me?

These moments were turning points in my recovery. I dove into my step work, opened my ears to all of my counselors’ suggestions, embraced all that The Right Step was offering.

Every waking moment of my time at The Right Step was structured toward building a defense against that first drink and, most importantly, building self-esteem. What amazed me about my time there was that everything was so subtle. There was no jamming of the program; it was a perfect balance of suggestions, one-on-one [sessions] with counselors, group sessions, medical information, field trips, and meetings on- and off-campus.

The experience of living on-campus with others fighting a common problem was amazing. Although we were required to go to group and follow a strict, exhausting schedule, the nights were our own. I remember many a night staying up late with my housemates sharing deep, dark secrets, talking of pain and hope. The friends I made during my time there are still friends today.

Because of the terrific Alumni Association, the sober social website, the regular onsite meetings, the reaching out on Facebook, and the regular calls from my counselor, I have stayed close. My life is now full and wonderful. I am a father again, I am a son again, I am employable and grateful to be alive.

Now I must sign out. I have to get ready for my Monday night meeting at The Right Step. I’m sponsoring a client there. Thank you, The Right Step.

Posted on August 13, 2014 in Teen Drug Addiction

Four Families, Four Parenting Styles: Which Lead to Adolescent Drug Abuse?

Family 1: The Authoritarian Style

In this family, everything is black and white. The father rules with an iron fist and the mother supports him in all ways. The kids learn early on not to argue with their parents, and not to question any rules of the house. Things are done one way and one way only. Anything else results in punishment. Right is right and wrong is wrong. The kids have no input, no bargaining power and no voice. When they enter middle school and start learning about drugs and alcohol from their peers, mom and dad lay down the law: never in our house. The consequences will be dire. When the kids try to ask questions, they are shut down. The word is final: don’t do drugs, ever. Don’t drink, ever. There’s no need to know anything about drugs and alcohol, because drugs and alcohol are not an option. End of discussion.

Family 2: The Authoritative Style

In this family, there’s a little bit of gray area. The parents have strong ideas about what they believe is right and wrong, but they do not force them on their children as absolutes. Early in life, the kids learn that there will be consequences for breaking the house rules, but the reasons behind the rules are explained calmly and with loving care. The kids are allowed to ask questions, voice their opinions and possibly even change their parents’ minds about some things. When they enter middle school and start learning about drugs and alcohol from their peers, mom and dad sit down with them and have open and honest discussions about the issues. They talk about the pros and cons of experimentation, and the consequences both at home and out in the world for drinking and doing drugs. The discussion is ongoing and based on facts. As the kids learn more from their peers, they ask their parents more. They get straight answers and they become well informed.

Family 3: The Indulgent Style

In this family, it’s pretty much a free-for-all, and the operating philosophy is laissez-faire. The parents are loving, affectionate and kind to the kids, but there are very few hard-and-fast rules in this household, and since there are very few rules, there are very few consequences. The parents believe that children intuitively know what’s best for them, and believe that the best policy is to let them be, and simply support and love them. The kids learn at a young age that they can set their own bed times, eat what they want, play how they want and come and go as they please. When they do break one of the few household rules, they quickly learn how to negotiate themselves out of any consequences. When they enter middle school and start learning about drugs and alcohol from their peers, mom and dad tell them that they are free to experiment and learn for themselves. Their parents set very few rules, and therefore, offer very few consequences.

Family 4: The Neglectful Style

In this family, there is very little love, almost no affection, and the children are largely ignored. For a variety of reasons, the parents are too caught up in themselves to pay attention to their kids. They provide for their basic food and shelter, and that’s it. Rules are rare and consequences are inconsistent. When the kids enter middle school and learn about alcohol and drugs from their peers, they are left to their own devices. The parents do not take the time to educate them, make rules, or pay any attention to the new life phase the kids are entering. As such, the kids are forced to learn about drugs and alcohol for themselves, make their own decisions based on whatever knowledge they do find, and suffer whatever consequences given to them by the world.

Which Parenting Style Works Best?

In his article “Which parenting style is more protective against adolescent substance use? Evidence within the European context” published in June 2014 in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence (Vol. 138), Amador Calafat et al. conclude that, of the parenting styles described above, the first and fourth put kids most at risk for adolescent drug abuse. His evidence suggests that both the indulgent and the authoritative styles can be equally effective in deterring adolescent drug use, and that:

“… extremes are not effective: neither authoritarianism nor absence of control and affection. A good relationship with children works well. In this respect, it can go hand in hand with direct control (known as ‘authoritative’ or democratic style) or not (style wrongly called ‘indulgent’)”

The volume of adolescents involved in this study is impressive—over 7,000 teens between the ages of 11 and 19 were interviewed. The sheer numbers, combined with the simple fact that the conclusions pass a laypersons “sniff” test, give this study a practical weight. It’s logical that kids living under an authoritarian regime might want to rebel, and experiment with drugs, and it’s also logical that kids with no guidance at all—the neglected kids—will likewise find their way into trouble. The middle path is best, communication is essential and knowledge is power.

Boyd Jocassee 27.5+ gravel road wheel rolls out

All wheels are 100% hand-built in Greenville, South Carolina

Sea Otter Classic Wheels

2017 Sea Otter Classic

Boyd Cycling Wheels

Adventure road riders rejoice, the all-new Jocassee takes advantage of the new plus road tire technology, giving riders greater tire volume, a larger contact patch, and all-terrain capabilities.

Launched in 2009, Boyd Cycling strives to be the craft beer of cycling wheels, says founder Boyd Johnson, who became entrenched in the industry following a career as a pro racer. The brand offers a refined line of aluminum and carbon wheels for a variety of applications from traditional and plus sized road use to two mountain bike specific options.

Boyd Cycling Wheels

The stock Boyd Quest hub that utilizes a 6-pawl system for 5.6 degrees of engagement.

With the ever growing plus trend, Boyd has also been hard at work developing some options for enthusiasts seeking a bit more girth, with two plus tire options finding their way into the line. The Jocassee is a 27.5+ gravel road wheel targeted toward the expanding adventure road market. With a hookless, tubeless-ready full carbon fiber rim, measurements are 24mm internal, 30mm external. Designed for use with ultra-wide 45-52mm tires, the end result being the same outside diameter as a traditional 700×25, meaning the gear ratio will feel exactly the same when swapping between the two wheel options.

Boyd Cycling Wheels

Boyd’s Ridgeline Carbon MTB wheel feature an inner width of 26mm and a rim weight of 415 grams for a 29er, 395 grams for 27.5. Billed as a durable, do-it-all trail wheel, the Ridgeline retails for $1650 with Boyd Quest Hubs, or $2000 with White Industry Hubs.

The latest mountain bike offerings from Boyd include the aluminum Kanuga and carbon Ridgeline, both of which are available in 29er and 27.5 and boost or non-boost configurations. Inner rim widths on the Ridgeline are 26mm and 25mm for the Kanuga, and both are optimized for tire widths of 2.1-2.4. Like many other rim choices on the market both rims use a hookless design and are optimized for tubeless use with the included rim strips and valves.

Boyd Cycling Wheels

If you’d prefer to stick with aluminum wheels, the Kanuga is available in both 27.5 and 29er and retails for $800. With an inner rim width of 25mm, the Kanuga is optimized for setup with tubeless tires with widths ranging between 2.1 and 2.4.

Hub options include the stock Boyd Quest hub that utilizes a 6-pawl system for 5.6 degrees of engagement. Common axle configurations are easily accommodated with swappable end caps that come preinstalled for the configuration of your choice. Additional configuration options are available separately. If the Boyd hubs don’t suit you, White Industry hubs can be integrated into any wheelset for an upcharge of $350 per wheelset. All wheels are 100% hand-built in Greenville, South Carolina.

Boyd Cycling Wheels

Utilizing a hookless rim profile, the MTB wheels are optimized for tubeless setup and come setup with tubeless rim tape and valves.

Talk of a 27.5+ mountain bike wheel was also buzzing around the Boyd booth at Sea Otter, so stay tuned for more information on that.

3 things you should know about public corruption
3 things you should know about public corruption
In the past year, federal prosecutors have scored some high-profile victories in public corruption cases. Earlier this month, former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was sentenced to nearly 30 years in federal prison for his role in a wide-ranging scandal that produced convictions on charges of racketeering, extortion, bribery, mail and wire fraud, conspiracy, tax evasion and filing false tax returns.

Other former public officials have also been involved in illegal activities while in office. For example, in July, former U.S. Representative Jesse Jackson, Jr. (Illinois) and his wife Sandi, a former Chicago alderman, pleaded guilty to misuse of campaign funds. In June, former US Representative Rick Renzi from Arizona was convicted of influence peddling.

Public corruption can take many forms, and according to the FBI, the frequency of official corruption investigations has increased by 60% in the last five years. In 2011, the last year for which conviction statistics are available, the federal government won 1,107 public corruption convictions.
What constitutes public corruption, how are public corruption cases investigated and prosecuted, and what is the federal conviction rate for persons convicted of public corruption? Here are three things you need to know about public corruption.

What is public corruption?

The FBI defines public corruption as “a breach of trust by federal, state, or local officials—often with the help of private sector accomplices.” Cases that involve high-profile politicians tend to grab headlines, but the majority of public corruption investigations and prosecutions are directed at ordinary individuals in positions of public trust.

Anyone, from high-ranking judges to parking meter attendants can be convicted under either federal or state public corruption statutes. Public corruption can include the theft of federal, state or local funds; fraud; bid-rigging and contracting irregularities; using a public position to influence the actions of others for personal benefit; misusing campaign funds; bribery; immigration fraud; election fraud; and even “ticket-fixing.” Generally, using the power and/or resources of a public position for personal gain is considered public corruption.

How is public corruption investigated and prosecuted?

The FBI says that public corruption cases receive the agency’s highest investigative priority because the impact of public corruption can be so negative. According to the FBI, public corruption can affect everything from national security to legislation, and wastes billions in public funds annually.

Public corruption can be prosecuted in either Federal Court or State Court. In a Federal prosecution, “official corruption” is a general category of related crimes that include bribery, money laundering, the misappropriation of federal disaster and economic stimulus funds, election-related crimes, border and immigration crimes, and using the power of an elected office to influence legislation for personal gain.

What is the federal conviction rate for public corruption?

The average federal conviction rate for all official corruption prosecutions in 2010, the last year for which comprehensive convictions analyses are available, was 90%. In that year, case filings increased by 15 percent over the previous year and case terminations dropped by 7 percent over the previous year. 57% of convicted defendants were sentenced to some form of incarceration. 26% of convicted defendants were sentenced to serve terms exceeding 3 years, and 11% of convicted defendants were sentenced to serve terms exceeding 5 years.

The FBI and other investigative agencies have significant access to sophisticated surveillance and intelligence-gathering technology. Often, the evidence they collect during surveillance is central to their case. While Federal investigators maintain that their use of these technologies is lawful, an experienced Federal criminal defense attorney may be able to prove that evidence was illegally collected or investigations were illegally conducted.

Federal public corruption charges can be serious, and can result in the possible loss of employment, the loss of personal assets, a felony conviction and incarceration. If you’re the subject of a public corruption investigation, you need the assistance of an experienced Federal criminal defense attorney like Robert M. Helfend.

Robert M. Helfend is a noted Federal criminal defense attorney located in the Los Angeles area, who practices Federal criminal defense throughout the United States. If you are facing Federal official corruption charges, contact the Law Offices of Robert M. Helfend toll-free at (800) 834-6434 or locally at (310) 456-3317, (818) 591-2809 or (805) 273-5611 for a consultation. Robert M. Helfend is an experienced Federal criminal defense attorney who can help!

Warhammer is 25 (and a few days)

With Warhammer moving ever more into the world of videogames, this just about inches into our remit. Or, at least, an excuse for an amusingly geeky comments thread. On Wednesday, Games Workshop's Warhammer celebrated its 25 years of painting little guys at the weekend. The Miniature Wargames Union made a two-part documentary about the development of the game, which will make certain gamers sigh nostalgically…

2013 Flood - A Grateful Heart

Just as others are grateful to us when we serve them, we should be grateful every day for Christ's sacrifice for us.

A comment from one of the residents in Benchlands really struck a chord with me. At the end of the day, she said, “I think I'm finally able to thank you without crying. When everyone came around the corner looking to help this morning, I thought to myself, ‘What did I ever do to deserve this help, these people saving me?’” Her gratitude was palpable. It reminded me that our gratitude for Christ's work on the cross to save us should be just as palpable every day. What did we ever do to deserve His help, His saving? And does it bring us to tears when we go before Him with thanksgiving? For me, today with this reminder, it does.

If you are checking back here every once in a while to look for Debian packages of HAProxy, you shouldn’t bother anymore. The Debian maintainers are currently doing a very good job at http://haproxy.debian.net/.

Just follow the instructions over there and you will be ready to go.

Heh, just after I decided to package ss-20121226, HAProxy 1.5-dev17 got released. Oh well, I just had to upgrade so I packaged it for my own usage ;-). I also updated the dependencies a bit because I am compiling with SSL and Compression enabled. Just get it at http://www.roedie.nl/downloads/haproxy/haproxy-1.5-dev17/.

Posted in Debian

Here’s a new Debian package of HAProxy. Today it’s the latest and greatest snapshot of 20121226. If you are running any of my previous versions I suggest you update to this one since a lot of bug fixes went in. Just get it at http://www.roedie.nl/downloads/haproxy/20121226/

After some bugs were found in the dev13 release, Willy quickly released a dev14 release. You can grab the packaged version at http://www.roedie.nl/downloads/haproxy/haproxy-1.5-dev14/ and test around a bit.

And right after I created the package I realized that I needed to enable compression and SSL. Please make sure you download the dev13-2 package if you want to use those features.

HAProxy 1.5-dev13 got released today. So, I’ve made another quick package which you can get at http://www.roedie.nl/downloads/haproxy/haproxy-1.5-dev13/.

It has lots of new features including SSL and Compression (which I both haven’t tested) and tons of bug fixes. Great work by all developers.

After I forgot to post about HAProxy 1.5-dev9, I can now post that I’ve also packaged HAProxy 1.5-dev10. You can get it at http://www.roedie.nl/downloads/haproxy/haproxy-1.5-dev10/.

If anyone is interested in getting these updates through apt-get, then drop me a line, I might set up an apt repository for easy updates.

I decided to package todays snapshot of HAProxy. It’s a binary package for amd64 but I’ve also included the source to build your own package.

It’s available at: http://www.roedie.nl/downloads/haproxy/20120310/

It seems like the new HP DL360G7 servers do not support the textcons command from iLO anymore without an ‘Advanced License’ installed. Since iLO and moreover the ability of using a remote console is one of the reasons we use the HP servers I was not amused. Luckily the Virtual Serial Port (VSP) is still free of license stuff so with a little fiddling around I got it working nicely.

Of course the is lots of documentation floating around on the net, but for my own memory I also wrote it down at http://www.roedie.nl/wiki/index.php?title=Debian_GNU/Linux_iLO3_Virtual_Serial_Port so I won’t forget it and others might find it useful.

Today I’ve also released a new package of autofwd. It’s still the same version, I’ve only fixed some packaging bugs. You can get it here

Ow, and you like a new packaged version of libparanoid to go with that? Sure, I’ve backported that as well (hmz… as far as you can call it a backport…). It’s in the same dir as the autofwd package.

Have Fun!

The lives of the Coptic Patriarch Isaac

An interesting email arrived today.

I am writing to you hoping that The Life of Isaac, Patriarch of Alexandria (686-689 AD) would see the light in English translation through you.

Patriarch Isaac’s Life in the History of the Patriarchs of the Egyptian Church, which was complied by Severus of Ashmunin, is available in both Arabic and English translation, but it is a very short biography.

A longer Life is available in Coptic, and has been translated twice into French. To my knowledge it is not available in Arabic.

The two French translations, which are available on the net, and can be got at, are:

1. Amelineau, E., Histoire du Patriarche Copte Isaac. Paris, 1890.
2. E. Porcher, Vie D’Isaac. P.O. V. II. Paris, 1915.

I have always felt that the shorter Life of Isaac which is part of Severus of Ashmunin’s book is deliberately made short. His period was turbulent, and witnessed serious conflicts with the Muslim Ummayad ruler, Abdel Aziz ibn Marwan (685-705 AD). Copts were exposed to severe persecution during his rule, and it seems that there were contacts between Isaac and the Ethiopians and also the Nubians, which angered the Muslim ruler.

My current circumstances mean that I cannot take on any new projects, and I am trying to reduce my work load.  But I think the longer life of this period could not fail to be of considerable interest.  Google translate does a very reasonable job of French these days which would help anyone who took it on.

The difference between an LP and a CD

Today I bought an LP.  Yes, that’s right: a vinyl long-playing record.

I saw it in the window of Oxfam in Ipswich, as the rain pattered on the glass and a cold wind blew through the streets under a grey sky.  It was a second-hand copy of Christian artist Steve Taylor’s third album, I predict 1990.  It appeared in 1987, through Myrrh records.

I never owned a copy of this album.  I bought his first album-ette, I want to be a clone, and liked it.  His second album, On the Fritz, I also purchased.  But the third album got him into trouble with some elements of the Christian music industry in the US and his career came to an abrupt halt.  The three albums can be obtained in MP3 form, although not in CD these days.

The LP was in good condition.  It must have been purchased by someone of my generation.  Oxfam stock tends to come from house-clearances, after funerals, so I infer that one of my contemporaries has gone to meet the Lord, leaving me his LP.

Buying it was rather a ritual.  The sleeve was in the window, but the LP itself was behind the counter.  I was invited to inspect the disk, to see if it was scratched.  Then the record was placed back in the sleeve, and the whole in a specially square plastic bag.  It was bulky, and awkward to carry, and I had to carry it upside down as I went out into the rain.  I knew that I had bought something tangible with my money.  It cost me a shade under five pounds, which is probably a little less than the original cover price, but not much.

Arriving home, I found a package on the doormat with a CD that I had ordered.  I placed the CD on the pile of music next to my CD player.  But I took the LP out, and placed it on my record deck — I still have an old-fashioned HiFi separates system, although it now has a CD player and some of the elements are not those from 1980 — and started it playing while I prepared lunch.  The 80’s sound came out of the speakers.  Somehow … it was worth listening to, all the way through, just as I used to do in the old days when buying music.  The sleeve and inserts rested on top of a pile of books nearby, conspicuous as I did this and that.

We’re all human beings.  We do tend to judge something that is small as being of limited value.  A CD doesn’t seem nearly as important as something several times larger.  The cover art on a CD is always squeezed into this tiny little square.  The notes are inserted in a little booklet, hardly large enough to read.  A CD is … just a disposable consumer item.  Has anyone ever felt about a CD as I felt, buying an LP today?  That I was doing something which was important?  I doubt it, somehow.

As for MP3’s… these were originally free.  The record industry has found a way to charge us for them, but somehow they don’t seem worth even the eighty pence or whatever the charge currently is.  A song in MP3 format is nothing, seems like nothing, feels like nothing.  Gigabytes of them are passed around by students on keydrives, I’m sure.

This is not nostalgia.  It’s about human perceptions of worth.  There is a reason why it matters whether the church steeple is the tallest building in the town.

3 thoughts on “The difference between an LP and a CD

  1. Human perceptions of worth, really? According to that argument, the most ostentatious preachers are justified for every last gold plated item they own. Yes? Or no?

    I love the LP story and I think I appreciate the point. Tangibility matters. Location matters. God chose Sinai, Israel, Nazareth, Thessalonica, etc. But we walk a fine line when we emphasize the material nature of christian witness.

    Part of our testimony is that all such are merely passing away. Anywho, my personal problem with steeples is that the spirit can leave but that tower remains. God builds, yes. But he never, in scripture, left a physical monument behind. Not even Solomon’s Temple…
