![]() That's part of my plan to transform my old iMac 350MHz w/ 320 MB of RAM into a MacMAME computer (I never use it anyway, so might as well give it some reason to be besides, MacMAME under OSX is still going through growing pains, while the last MacMAME for OS 9 was a pretty stable piece of software).Īs I've written in the Arcade Alley forum, this is my "no money, no space" tabletop alternative to all these great MAME cabinet projects out there. 5 LaunchBox/BigBox 6 GameEx 7 3D Arcade 8 Attract-Mode LaunchBox is not available for Mac.

I would appreciate some feedback regarding this issue. Please take my feedback and work with it because you dont want unhappy customers. There are plenty of nice theaters nearby but we have chosen to support this one because it is in our community. I want Maya cinemas to understand how offensive this experience was and that it is unacceptable. Amanda said she would call me back but as of yet I havent heard from her which makes me feel that my complaint was not as important as she said it was. Again, this happened to my sister-in-law but we all took it very personal. Whatever is in my bag is my personal property and I find it highly invasive to be asked by the ticket checker to open my bag. If I choose a better alternative to what is offered at the theater that is completely my decision. As an adult, and paying customer, I refuse to be told what I can and cannot have in my purse to eat during a movie. Also, regarding the trash left behind, that will happen whether its a McDonalds bag or a tub of es with the territory. ![]() I told her that of course we want to be safe when we go to the theater but again, why werent all bags checked? This made us feel as if there was a problem with discrimination. I had a hard time understanding her logic because if security is such an issue, shouldnt there be security guards checking everyones bags. She explained to me that the theater wanted to check for weapons and also make sure no food was brought into the theater because of all the trash it created by customers who left their McDonalds bags behind after the movie. The name of the person I spoke to was Amanda. Second of all, what right does anyone have to tell a paying customer to open their bag and then to take their property inside of their bag to the car? I felt that this was highly inappropriate and decided to call and speak to a manger. ![]() First of all, I had a big purse as well but was not asked to open my bag. She asked her to move things around and then told her she had to take the food in her purse to the car. The lady who took our tickets asked my sister-in-law to open her purse. I never heard back from the following complaint.My family and I went to Maya cinema in Pittsburg, Ca on May 31st and we had a very bad experience. ![]() ![]() In extending maturities for domestic and offshore debt with maturity and partial credit guarantees In reducing currency and interest rate mismatches Via better FX indexation, liquidity, currency and rate swaps In attracting a wider investor base and reducing costs In distributing lenders’ risks post-construction via poolingġ2. 10 Risk Mitigation Can Help Viable Projects In mitigating policy and non-policy risks With PRI, PRGWith PCG, monoline or multiline guarantees, etc. ![]() 9 ĻB or Higher-Rated African Countries ġ0. ![]() 7 Ratings Can Reduce Perceived Risks 12 African countries rated B or lower Unrated African countries could consider getting ratings 6 rated BB- or higher including four rated investment grade Benefits of ratings Investment grade ratings are necessary for many investors Even non-investment grade ratings can help access capital Ratings can expand universe of potential investors Ratings are an independent opinion of the creditworthiness of a country Well accepted by international investors in bond markets Growing use in loan markets, bank regulation and domestic markets Impose a market discipline on country leadership International rating agencies rate both FX and LC obligations Local market rating agencies are also making progressĩ. 6 What Makes a Project Viable?

All my profiles are now deleted, and I cannot open XeXmenu to remove the plugins from dashlaunch. I have tried everything possible to remedy this, including deleting all my profiles, as they had become corrupt, transferring XeX to and from a USB, etc. Went to XeXmenu and tried opening it, but every time now, I get an error that says Can't launch XeXmenu 1.2.

My console turned back on, and goes to the dashboard without signing in, which I found quite odd. Now is where I am completely and utterly lost. I hit okay, and my console rebooted once again. The issue with this is: when I rebooted, I got a message saying some Xbox 360 content was missing. I went into dashlaunch, set the plugins, disabled liveblock and livestrong, saved, and rebooted. So I proceeded to download this and transfer them to my xbox via USB. I watched a video on YT on how to "fix" this, and it had a download link for some plugins and a new launch.ini file.

If I call for an xterm from Terminal I get The only solution I have found so far is to use XQuartz 2.7.5, which will start up xterm windows and X application windows.

I requested xterm from Terminal.app and got a window pinned to the upper left corner of desktop. I then installed the latest Quartz 2.7.7 (I had been running 2.7.5 on the now-defunct MBP). I let fink install several of my favorite unix programs (xfig, gv, xgraph, grace, and the nedit editor). Also installed full Xcode 6.4 and the CLT. After installation, I moved old /sw to the side, and installed fink 0.38.6 into new /sw.

The light show we see from the ground is caused by electrically charged particles from space entering the Earth’s upper atmosphere at a very high speed. This isn’t the case – it’s just that when the skies are cloudless, temperatures tend to drop. Some people claim the aurora comes out when temperatures are colder. To see the Northern lights, the sky needs to be dark and clear of any clouds. A good display may last for no longer than 15-30 minutes at a time, although if you’re really lucky, it could extend to a couple of hours or longer. They don’t usually exhibit for long – they may only show for a few minutes, then glide away before returning. The Northern Lights most commonly appear between 17:00 and 02:00. The aurora is at its most active around the equinoxes in March and September. During this time, the Arctic sky is dark enough for the Northern Lights to be visible in the right conditions. The winter season in the Arctic lasts from late September to late March/ early April. While technically, the Northern Lights are present for much of the year, there aren’t enough hours of darkness to see them during the summer months, even above the Arctic Circle. Above the Arctic Circle (66☃3’N) is the best place to go aurora hunting which is why northern Norway and Svalbard are some of the best places on earth to see the Northern Lights.
