Little things that matter in language design
Anyways, nice chat, see you.
Plasma Active Three released

So no, I don't think they bothered to nick actual v7 source. But that definitely had been a (trivial) reimplementation of existing interface.
It's about a man-month of work to implement and such reimplementations had been done quite a few times. Including initial debugging, enough to make it mostly usable, if not quite safe. In their case I'd expect the most PITA to have come from making it play nice with the preexisting pile of garbage (FCB syscalls).
If your point was that hierarchical filesystems had turned out to be useful enough for a lot of systems to reimplement them - sure, that's true, but what the hell does that have to do with independent anything? If we are talking about bitty-box parodies on OS, might as well bring Amiga - at least there it really seems that influence might have been not entirely from Unix (I don't know the TRIPOS history well enough to tell, but at least in that case a direct influence from Multics is plausible).
Since late 60s it had been fairly common. And it's simple enough to describe and implement by such description, at least in the basic forms[1]. More to the point, a lot of software depends on having that available, so not implementing a hierarchical fs means serious self-inflicted PITA in porting and redesigning user interfaces. The tricky part is maintaining a sane directory tree layout, but "let's not bother with that" is a lousy answer - all attempts so far seem to have been sucky. FWIW, I'm very sceptical about the tags-based approaches - the problem is real, but I don't think it's solvable that way...
[1] Once you have to deal with the UCB bad trips (cross-directory renames, handling of dangling symlinks, etc.) the things get more hairy, of course, but that's a separate story.

Even the Apple II had a hierarchical file system with an OS that was not an obvious Unix knockoff. It is reasonable to say that in the early 1980s, hierarchical file systems were simply an idea whose time had come.

I would be, if you replaced the date with mid to late 60s.

If those systems were UNIX-derived, it would not say much - after all they'd inherit the implementation together with source code or at least API design. That's why it's important to mention those system whose codebase was very different. Like DOS (BTW, as already mentioned, DOS DID have minimal support for FS usage from TSR - the very hairy idea of InDOS flag)
Posted Oct 17, 2012 22:51 UTC (Wed) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link]
Heck, some of the code even emulated Xenix interfaces to some degree. It was explicitly Unix-inspired.
Posted Oct 18, 2012 22:56 UTC (Thu) by BenHutchings (subscriber, #37955) [Link]
MS-DOS 2.0 and some later releases supported changing the option character, typically to '-', resulting in a more Unix-like behaviour. However, command line parsing was left to each program and there was no widely used getopt() function, so this was never universally supported. There was also no convention of a special argument like '--' that would disable option parsing in subsequent arguments

I don't know if that would have been a better world but I'd like to think so. At least it would have saved the world years of aggravation dealing with win/dos instability.

* MacOS had not been thrown out and replaced by a Unix derivative until very late in the game. * there had been AmigaOS, which was also not a Unix by any stretch of imagination. Might or might not have died off; hell knows. * IBM mistake of using Intel's design failure (286 protected mode architecture) would still have happened. Results wouldn't have been any prettier than in real history. By the time Intel has fixed the worst of that it was too late - OS/2 interfaces had been deeply affected by that horror and it was too late to fix them. * Gary Kildall and his pile of garbage. That's the guy you have to thank for the mess, far more than Gates&co. A lot of bitty-box software had been out there and it had been cheerfully ignoring the nearly inexistent kernel. Porting _that_ to anything resembling an operating system would have been slow and painful.
Posted Oct 20, 2012 19:43 UTC (Sat) by raven667 (subscriber, #5198) [Link]
That may be, this is speculative history fiction after all.
The seeds for MacOS were planted when NeXT was founded and successfully created its successor. Apple might have turned out very differently in the late 80's and 90's has NeXT been done in-house. Lets just change one thing for speculation purposes though.
I can see how 286 protected-mode could have thrown a monkey wrench into the design but Xenix was ported to the 386 and available at the time a switch over could have been made from DOS. Compatibility could have been maintained with Merge for example or some other DOSBox-like technology created. Windows could have been designed for Xenix instead of DOS.
The rest of the systems turned out to be small fry or have fundamental flaws either technically or in the management of the companies supporting them. I don't think the winners and losers of the 80s-90s would have turned out differently but there was an opportunity that was missed.
Posted Oct 20, 2012 21:54 UTC (Sat) by viro (subscriber, #7872) [Link]
As for 286, I really wonder what would an OS Intel had in mind for that beast look like. Some kind of Ada environment, perhaps? Definitely not something resembling Unix...

Of course the rest of this is high speculation as it wasn't what happened.

AFAICS, there were two critical points in the making of that mess; one in mid-70s, when CP/M had been designed and spread, with resulting traditions of software that assumed it had essentially solitary control of bare hardware and another in the end of 70s, when internal politics in Intel has lead to 80286 design picked. Hell knows what happened in there - at the same time they had an even worse disaster going on (iAPX432) and chances of iAPX286 design to get accepted had to depend on how much could it be internally sold as aligned with iAPX432 one, but details are probably impossible to reconstruct by now.

One of Asia's craziest-looking large mammals is also one of its most endangered. Scientists are trying to protect the saiga antelope in Mongolia's Gobi Desert by using high-tech GPS (Global Positioning System) collars.
They have attached the collars to eight of the antelopes. "The GPS collars will provide information on movements of saigas across this dazzling but arid landscape," says Wildlife Conservation Society scientist Kim Berger. Then a better plan can be made to protect the antelopes.
This ungulate, or hoofed mammal, is just two feet tall (0.6 meters) at the shoulder and weighs about 50 pounds (23 kilograms). Its large, funny-looking proboscis, or nose, is a mystery. Scientists think it may warm the extremely cold winter air, or filter dust during the region's dust storms.
Ten thousand years ago, saigas roamed from as far afield as the northern Yukon and Alaska to the United Kingdom. However, today they are found only in Asia because of changes in climate, vegetation, and habitat.
Poachers, or illegal hunters, kill them for their horns, which are used in medicine. A million of these antelopes lived on the earth just 15 years ago, but only a few thousand survive today.
"We must take immediate action to protect habitat and stop poaching for saiga horns," said Lhagva Lkhagvasuren of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences. "Otherwise we will have only empty deserts with no saiga. Future generations will never forgive us for our carelessness."

2013 Hotel Reviews
Bryan was extremely friendly and helpful. I called a few minutes enquiring on the availability of my room prior to my arrival and he remembered my name when I arrived. This is indeed personal service. Isfareed's service was excellent when I was in the Executive Lounge. The moment you look at his direction, he would take it as a sign that you needed help. His attentiveness was superb. Both staff should be rewarded. The reason why I would go back to stay is because of them. Kudos to the hospitality treatment at CVH. Please convey my appreciation to them.
Aaron Tang Zhixiong, 15 April 2013
We arrived earlier than expected after a long haul flight from. Paris it was so nice to be greeted in a genuinely friendly manner by Ronald as we were tired & our luggage had been lost by the airline, it was also the last day of our honeymoon which Ronald acknowledged & upgraded our room which made us feel special. I wish hotel staff in Australia had the same fabulous attitude that your staff do. I will be recommending your hotel to family & friends. Thank you.
Karina Stoneman, 4 April 2013
I really liked the hotel. We picked it because it's reasonably close to the airport and has a free shuttle service. I was pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness/friendliness I experienced overall.

show off
...but now, yipee!
(I promise to post about something besides pregnancy and babies soon)
Anyway, It was really easy to make. I wonder how it will look after I wash it. I think I will make another one...what can I say? I am excited.
(ps. I lost the pink on my background because I felt like I was being biased. I am tyring to think very gender neutrally...at least for the next twelve weeks or so.)

Adorable and so creative! Your baby will be loving the unique pieces in his/her wardrobe! You have to tell me how to do it. And that chair is called the Bumbo, and you have to get it! My sister Katie got it for me and Naomi LOVES it. Hang in there with the morning sickness. It was very hard to function. I never left the house besides work. And it was horrible having to puke at work :(

Portal 2 is a great game. The levels were hard enough that I couldn't figure them out straight away, but could still noticed the solution after 5-10 minutes. Games like Modern Warfare 3 couldn't hold a candle.

Kurtis Seid is a sadomasochist for games. Hes clocked over 200 days in a Final Fantasy entry but isnt sure if hes actually a fan of the series. His ideal game would somehow involve the harshest elements of Kings Quest, Team Fortress, River City Ransom, Ogre Battle, and Dark Souls.
Such a great game, the level design shows Valve's creativity. I wish companies like Infinity Ward would take a few hints while making mw3 and its levels. Modern Warfare 3 could use Valve's "touch", just look how great this and Team Fortress 2 is.
Brilliant game. Wish I had bought the first one before I played this one, but it's so good it doesn't matter. Excellent voice acting and brilliant puzzles - keep it up Valve!
i wish there were more videos because i keep reading to make sure where i am and i cant even tell at all 0_o
@ icepop4who: If it's so easy and you don't need a guide, what are you doing here? Hmmmm.... Kind of strikes me as an 'I'm better than you guys statement to me'. The truth seems to be, I got stuck somewhere and needed a little nudge in the right direction.
I think this is a great game. but sometime u have to spend an hour on a single floor in the later levels because it gets a bit hard.but still a very good game
I just dont understand the point of listing the trophies if you are not showing how to get them step by step? I mean its a guide right?
Hey gamespot...u think ur actually gonna finish the guide or do u guys just not care?
lol this is the easiest puzzle game ever. As long as you're not ADD or something, you don't need a guide. Just take your time with it.
Who writes this stuff? It's "levers", not "leavers"! Portal is the bomb, tho' (GLaDOS made me say that)
Pretty good guide, but for god's sake please learn the difference in "passed" and "past."
I love this phreaking game. Right when I thought it was going to end, it keeps on going! I thought it was more of Portal 1, then it goes nuts! The levels are organic, believable and atmospheric. Look out for my review. Incredible game.
What kind of idiot would actually use a Portal walkthrough? Solving puzzles is literally the only thing to do in this game. It's like paying money to have to read and follow a guide.
Without photos can be as frustrating to understand as some parts of the game. Try the youtube hints if you are really stuck.
Didn't play the first one but am really enjoying this game!! Worth the money if you like brain teasers.
If you liked the first Portal, you will love this one.. it has a good story and about 7hours of pure puzzel thinking. Some stages where way to easy and some took me a while to figure out. I also loved the twists of the game. To all of you that have played the game i only say "Im in space!" It was great fun.. Thinking of buying the game for ps3 aswell..
@Maxxramman ... *gag* there are three words I bet no one on this planet EVER expected to hear in a sentence: "amazing" and "will ferrell." WOW! I'm intrigued by how stupid parts of this game make me feel at times. To help with that I went and bought the first one. STILL have no idea how or why i'm blasting holes in walls just to be tested by this badly auto-tuned android! HOPEFULLY there will be sometime soon in the game where the greater meaning is revealed (I'd settle for the point ; ) Its also a little strange that the character you are supposedly playing as is a female. Hmmm maybe this is how a female feels if she chooses to play a FPS, i.e. CoD. Interesting.
@Kos1c & @XsickGamerX10 - It's more than just a puzzle game. It has a great story behind it and it ties itself with the Half Life Universe. I think it's a great game. It's better to have played the first one before playing the second.
@XsickGamerX10 I didn't know much about this game, and i got it yesterday. The game is a huge puzzle game, it's great fun, just sadly it's not as long. I've already completed it, took about 4-6 hours to do. But still one of those titles worth checking out. An easy 9/10 for me.
There has been a lot of hype about this game so ive looked at some trailers and I just cant see what all the fuss is about and it looks quite boring. So i have preordered LA NOIRE. But please if u have the game tell me what is so good about it
@djball They are hardly holding your hand. It has happened to me that I had no clue where to go due to an obscure portal-friendly surface.
@bigkahunabuger portal 2 does not have a singleplayer section...only a game mode you can play by yourself...that shows gamestpot doesn't have a clue about games.
The achievement for the propulsion gel is "Stranger than Friction", not stranger than fiction, like the amazing movie with will Ferrell.
I would really discourage the use of a walkthrough for Portal 2. Its charm comes (at least partly) from the satisfaction of solving the puzzles, and being told what to do diminishes your experience of the game. I guess using one section if you're really, REALLY, stuck would be okay, but please go back and be sure that you need the help before seeking help.
@illuminatirexx Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, thank you, havent had a laugh like that in ages. wow. just wow. how can someone be so........hmmm whats the right word? stupid? its tame but it will do.
I have Portal 2 and in my opionion it is to easy, I completed it in 7 Hours. The puzzles are good enought but there is only 1 way to solve a puzzle and it is easy to find the solution. The Story is realy great it has some realy good twists in it.

Doing my best to help LarryD take over the internet one meme at a time. |
For a few weeks ever spring, they burst into bloom and whole fields are buried under a beauteous blanket of blue.
Bluebonnets and their cheerful friend Indian Paintbrush will always be Springtime to me.
They line the highways and quiet roads and greet us wherever we go.
And they bring on the annual pilgrimage of parents to the sides of roads all over the state, where they plunk their babies down amidst the flowers and the road noise to take the traditional pictures which cover every grandmother's fridge.
I guarantee you that this baby's hair is being blown around by a passing 18-wheeler. |
Warm, light, and flaky, there is no way to describe the alleluia moment of a fresh hand made tortilla. The fact that I can buy them any time I want and they're still warm when I get them home? As close to a religious experience as I can have outside of church.
Just wondering, is it wrong to kiss the tortilla lady? She's all kinds of awesome to me.
Horny toads!
I love these guys! My older brother and I used to catch them at my grandparents' farm. We quickly learned their defense mechanism of spitting blood from their eyes. It wasn't much after that when we learned that if you rub their heads in the right places you can make them spit blood from their eyes. Wanna hear your brother squeal like a girl? Have a lizard spit eye blood at him. (It shoots out crazy far. We're probably the reason these fellas are nearly on the endangered list.)
You'd better watch it or I'll shoot eye blood on you! |
Because every now and again you're lucky enough to get to mosey along behind them.....

Archive for the 'U.S. public education' tag
Cultural Sector 101
Recently, the Wallace Foundation, (an independent, national foundation dedicated to supporting and sharing ideas and practices to expand learning and enrichment opportunities for all people), commissioned the report: "How to Cultivate Demand for the Arts: Arts Learning, Arts Engagement, and State Arts Policy," by Laura Zakaras and Julia F. Lowell. You can find the report at www.wallacefoundation.org.
The authors of the report argue that in the last few decades, U.S. arts policies have worked on supporting arts programs and making them accessible (supply). However, they go on to discuss that not enough attention has been paid to developing perpetual audiences (demand). Evoking the fundamental law of supply and demand, Zakaras and Lowell illustrate that in order to grow a healthy cultural sector, Americans of all ages need to become lifelong participants in arts and culture. Numerous education research efforts show that students who acquire skills through standards-based arts education, have enriching arts experiences that, then lead to long-term arts involvement. This is the "chicken or the egg?" debate! First, we need the arts, next we need access to the arts and engaged participation. This will create the demand for more arts, and a thriving cultural sector which in turn, boosts our creative economy and leads to more arts!
Zakaras and Lowell point out that U.S. public schools are the primary source of arts learning for young Americans. No other system in our country has the same access to our young, the resources to teach them, and the capability to ensure that they have equal opportunity to learn about and benefit from the arts. Sadly, recent surveys suggest that a significant proportion of schools around the country offer minimal arts education. Both in the 1970s, and early 1990s, school districts across our country reduced their education spending, often by cutting arts specialist positions. Many of these positions have never been restored. In more recent years, general education reforms have shifted the focus to testing reading and mathematics, further eroding arts education. While educators and arts educators in Fort Collins work tirelessly to serve our children with the resources available, in these times of rethinking our very economy, it is imperative to demand MORE comprehensive arts education! This is a gift to our children that will keep on giving!
As parents, grandparents, care givers, aunts, uncles and extended family, we try to balance nutrition and provide education opportunities for the children in our families. Providing access to the arts and culture is not only key to healthy kids, but to their futures, and the future of the communities where they will live and work. We need to demand that they are prepared to fulfill their place in the equation!
This month my family will invest in our futures and Fort Collins! We will celebrate immigration with Grammy Award winning recording artist Dan Zanes, make a pinhole camera together to celebrate World Pinhole Camera Day, and even volunteer to help with frog research. While some programs and events require a fee, most are affordable, and many more are completely free! As a family, we enjoy upholding our end of the Supply/Access/Demand equation! What programs will you use to demonstrate that the cultural sector plays an extremely important part in making Fort Collins a great city? What comes first, the city or the citizen participation, or the city, or the citizen participation! A great place to see the range of possible activities and events for your family is the calendar at beetstreet.com
Whether you choose to enjoy a rockin' band, explore Natural Areas in Fort Collins, or use a great library location (like the newly opened Council Tree Library in the Front Range Village Shopping Center), make sure that you include arts events and activities to grow your family's cultural and arts competency! Not just this month, but into their future and beyond! At a time when investment returns seem minimal, publicly engaging in the arts is an investment that will grow!

Series Information | |
First appearance: | Pilot |
Last appearance: | The Bad Roommate |
Portrayed By: | Marylin Harris |
" | André, there's another me on the wall! | " |
Charlotte Harris is André Harris's grandmother. She has made eight appearances so far in the series: Pilot, Wi-Fi in the Sky, Sleepover at Sikowitz's, iParty with Victorious, Driving Tori Crazy, Tori Fixes Beck and Jade, and The Bad Roommate. She was briefly mentioned in the episodes Survival of the Hottest, Jade Gets Crushed, Tori Goes Platinum, The Blonde Squad, Tori Fixes Beck and Jade, and The Bad Roommate. According to André, she lost her mind sometime before the series. The big showcase in the Pilot was the first time she left her house in six years, because she is irrationally afraid of virtually everything (i.e. people, rabbis, bikinis, breakfast foods, vacuum cleaners, the seven year old next door, car horns, showers, etc.). She is also scared of clocks changing, mirrors, and web chats, according to Wi-Fi in the Sky, when she punched André's laptop twice, causing the camera to shatter. She is portrayed by Marylin Harris.
She appeared in iParty with Victorious, where she went to André's party at Kenan Thompson's House.
She is the craziest grandmother, crazier than Robbie's. She tends to get scared of everything.
In The Blonde Squad, André borrowed her pet bird, Larry, for Beck's movie.
In Tori Fixes Beck and Jade, she shows up at the Full Moon Jam.
Contents |
- When André was a child, she told him that anything could be made better if you just sing a song, as revealed in Survival of the Hottest.
- In the TwitFlash - screen before the big showcase in Pilot, André writes "My grandma is hiding under her bed. Whyyyyyy???"
- Her name is revealed in André's recent video on TheSlap.
- It is likely that she ships Bade, or likes Beck and Jade's relationship - in Tori Fixes Beck and Jade, she tells Beck to go get her (Jade).
- She shares the same last name with Marylin Harris, the actress who portrays her.
- Her catchphrase is "I don't know you!"
- André jokingly said that she would burst into flames if she saw a rabbi wearing a bikini and eating pancakes.
- She is convinced her 7-year old neighbor is plotting to kill her because he was holding a plastic knife.
- She uses Twitter as revealed in iParty with Victorious.
- She follows Rex on Twitter, also revealed in iParty with Victorious.
- She likes to play Mahjong.
- She may have lost her mind about six years ago because in Pilot, André says, "She hasn't left her house in six years."
- She makes a mean French toast, according to André's TheSlap profile.
- She made André promise her that he would never be a bad person (before she went insane).
- She thinks the post office is run by aliens trying to enter your home and steal your ketchup, according to TheSlap.
- There is a 50% chance she is related to Kendra.
- In Driving Tori Crazy, she was in the backseat of Andre's car, which could possibly mean that she goes in the car with him to school every day.
- In Driving Tori Crazy, she doesn't let Tori touch her bowl and instead pours oatmeal onto Tori's hands.
- She has a pet bird named Larry, as mentioned in The Blonde Squad.
- In The Blonde Squad, when André loses her bird, she makes André hide under her bed and make bird noises.
- She's panphobic, which means she's afraid of everything.
- It is rumored that she plays the same clueless old lady who appeared on "Kenan and Kel" in Rigby's grocery store on multiple occasions, but obviously in an earlier stage of the Schneider's Bakery timeline.
- It is revealed in Tori Fixes Beck and Jade that she is from Wisconsin.
- She is known to cheer loudly when Andre is onstage.
- She is known to be loud and annoying.

I have heard of the masuda method and I want to know how to do it. ive heard you can get shinies faster that way, and I'm on a big shiny Magby hunt. can you tell me how to do it please?
The Masuda method, also known as Masuda's method (Japanese: 国際結婚 international marriage), is a fan-made term which describes a way to obtain Shiny Pokémon more easily in Generation IV and V. Rather than encountering Shiny Pokémon with a probability of 1/8192, the Masuda method lets players breed Pokémon of differing real-world geographical origin with a 1/1639 (Generation IV) or 1/1366 (Generation V) probability of being Shiny upon hatching.
And how to do it:
The key to using the Masuda method is not to breed any two Pokémon, but to breed two Pokémon created in games of different countries. An Egg resulting from such a pairing will have a higher likelihood of being Shiny. The most common way to arrange such a pairing is to use one foreign Pokémon and one from the game in which the breeding occurs, although the method will work in any game provided at least one of the Pokémon in the pair is from a country different to the country of the game cartridge. If both Pokémon are foreign to the cartridge but are both from the same country, then the Masuda method will not take effect. Foreign language Pokémon obtained via in-game trades, such as the Meister's Foppa and Lt. Surge's Volty, are treated as being from the same country as the game, because they are generated in the same cartridge, so they cannot be bred with another Pokémon from the same country for the Masuda method. In Generation IV, if the Masuda method is in effect, so both parents come from different countries, the Everstone will fail to increase the chance of passing on a nature.
In simpler terms, breed 2 foriegn Pokemon together to get a higher chance with hatching Shinies.
Use 2 Pokemon of opposite countries
for example French ditto Japanese dragonite
breed, and get a higher shiny rate

Run today by Jones's great-great grandchildren, this small company is famous for its hand-finished (and smart-looking) socks—and it has a Royal Warrant from HRH The Prince of Wales to prove it. Corgi Hosiery got its start making thigh-high woolen socks for local miners in England and later popularized men's argyle socks. Nearly a century later, its patrons include many of the world's finest luxury boutiques, the royal family, the entire British military and now, lucky for us, J.Crew. Its spring-weight socks are made from a lightweight cotton and nylon weave that's both warm and ultra-breathable. Trust us: Your feet will thank you.

Tips for printing digitally watermarked images: Am I ready for a pressrun? (or how to test your images)
For users of the DIgimarc Online Services Portal to enable interactive printed images.
As you get artwork ready for watermarking and a pressrun you have ask "How do I know it'll work"?
There are 3 items/interactions that effect the readability of your watermarked image when it is printed:
- How well can the reading device that your user has "see" the watermark, including in low light?
- Image reproduction e.g. how good is you press at reproducing your artwork?
- Did you watermark your artwork/image effectively for it's size, color space and type of image?
The good news is that all 3 of these can be determined with smartphone and a good proof.

Criminal Crackdown in Camden After Shoplifting Cases Spike
By: Josh Berry
Updated: December 6, 2012
Shoplifting on average jumps about 20% in November and December compared to months in the middle of the year like June and July.
From June and July to November and December, every year since 2009, authorities across the state are seeing on average 350 more shoplifting cases during the holiday season.
One city in particular is now taking a unique and tough approach to stop thieves in their tracks. Criminals could now face more than just a slap on the wrist.
Jerry Rowland runs a privately owned men's retail store in Camden. When it's hard enough to make ends meet, a shoplifter can put a real wrinkle in Rowland's day.
He said, "I really take it personal when a person comes in and tries to steal from ya."
He's seen everything under the sun: from swiping cologne to wadding shirts up and stuffing them in pants or coats.
He says it can be hard to tell just how much someone would be able to leave with. Now however, if you get caught walking out his door, you may find yourself in an orange jumpsuit, locked up.
"We're trying to cut down on the shoplifters," explained Camden Police Department Captain, Scott Rosson.
Lately shoplifting in Camden is landing more people behind bars.
Camden is actually above the state average this year. Police say they've had enough of the shoplifters after they've gone from just 25 theft related crimes in October to November, to already 50 in November and December.
Captain Rosson and the Department has enforced a "Zero Tolerance Policy".
Rosson explained, "We hope it will get the thieves attention."
If a thief is arrested and can't post a cash bond they'll have to sit in county jail for 2 days until they see a judge.
Ouachita County Sheriff David Norwood supports the program 100% saying with their recent add on to the detention center, they'll house the thief's as quick as police arrest them.
A new addition in to the County Detention Center allows for 60 new beds providing the space to house these sometimes repeat offenders.
"It's not going to stop it but we hope it's a deterrent," Rosson said.
For a store manager trying to keep the wrinkles smoothed out on his operation, he appreciates help ironing out the crooks.
Rowland added, "He might think again before he comes back in and does it."

Wow, that is a lot. I wonder how much they will cost.
I wonder how they figure out what marketing is actually profitable. Those look expensive.
At least that explains the size of the Collector's Edition Box.
I need one.
My games-related Twitter: VexingVision
Currently playing: Gothic 2; Blood Bowl: Chaos Edition; Waking Mars; Anno Online
I have the distinct impression that that money could have been employed in making the game better, but that is just me of course. ;)
Got an idea for these... mass produce them and sell them to nerds as garden gnomes... I know I would want one!
I think they look a little boring to be honest. Not a very awe inspiring pose if you ask me.
wow this reminds of the of the Chinese Terracotta army http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terracotta_Army
I've always wanted a vintage Harley Davidson in my dream house living room, but that would be a close runner up.

Otherwise there's those front racks that make canti braze ons feel self-actualized, they're about sized for a 6 pack.

Though they don't seem all that very useful to actually carry stuff, guess they could hold a bag/basket/briefcase if it was bungeed to the handlebars.

Why Coal Prevents West Virginia Democrats From Endorsing Obama
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Coal doesn't know if it will vote for President Obama in November.
That's what the headline probably should have said, but the Republican National Committee's Wednesday email blast made it appear that Democrats have scuffled to the sideline in supporting Obama for 2012.
"Democrat Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin
A second excerpt of the story quotes Tomblin criticizing Obama for making it his mission to drive the coal and energy industry in West Virginia out of business.
Companies like Arch Coal(ACI) , Patriot Coal(PCX) and Alpha Natural Resources(ANR) -- which all have major Appalachia coal mining operations in West Virginia -- each have seen shares shrink by 41.4%, 31.1% and 19.8% year to date, respectively, largely due to incredibly cheap natural gas prices.
"We have a supply of natural gas that can last America nearly 100 years," Obama said during his January State of the Union address. "The development of natural gas will create jobs and power trucks and factories that are cleaner and cheaper, proving that we don't have to choose between our environment and our economy."
Politicians in West Virginia, fearful of what the rapidly sinking coal industry could mean to jobs in the state, are timid to endorse an energy policy that backs gradual transition by utility companies to the industry (natural gas) that's wrecking things.
"I suspect if natural gas prices are close to what they

The city dates back to the old battles between cowboys and Indians in the Wild West - it was founded as a military outpost during the Indian wars of the mid-1860s to protect the Overland mail route that had recently been established. Although no longer a military base, the city retains its name and much of its architecture from this time period, making a charming historic downtown area.
In 2006, the city was ranked Best Place to Live in America by Money Magazine, thanks to its great schools, low crime rate and the plethora of fantastic outdoor recreational opportunities. The city has also been named one of the best places to retire in, bike through and drink beer in, further proving its appeal to people of all backgrounds and interests.

Aside from Colorado State's opportunities for degrees in a wide range of subjects at the bachelor's and master's levels, the university has been rated as one of the best in the nation for its colleges of business and veterinary medicine.

The university also provides the city with a world-class performing arts center that hosts traveling Broadway shows, professional acting troupes and local community theater performances. The city deserves its title as the cultural capital of Northern Colorado - between its theater, symphony orchestra, choirs, galleries and museums, those who love the arts will have a hard time feeling deprived of culture in this city.
Of course, its location near the Rockies makes outdoor recreation perhaps this city's biggest claim to fame.

France's Saint Hilaire Abbey contains sarcophagus of Saint Sernin
Abbey contains detailed artwork of obscure artist the Master of Cabestany
Saint-Hilaire-d' Aude or the Saint Hilaire Abbey in France is a medieval Benedictine monastery of Carcassonne. The building's chief claim to fame is an essential work of Romanesque art inside the church, the sarcophagus of St. Sernin by the Master of Cabestany. The church also features copious amounts of artwork from the obscure - but highly venerated artist of the Romanesque style, the Master of Cabestany.
The star attraction is on the right side of the apse: the marble sarcophagus of Saint Sernin, designed by the Master of Cabestany. The sarcophagus is carved from a single block of Pyrenean marble. The detailed sculptures tell the story of St. Sernin's ministry, arrest, martyrdom and burial in Toulouse.
The star attraction is on the right side of the apse: the marble sarcophagus of Saint Sernin, designed by the Master of Cabestany. Very little is known of this master. His unique style created several works of art in Southwest France, Tuscany, Catalonia and Navarre. The master's sculptures are distinctive for their triangular faces, weak chins, low foreheads, stretched cat-like eyes, long fingers and detailed pleating in their clothing.
The sarcophagus is carved from a single block of Pyrenean marble. The detailed sculptures tell the story of St. Sernin's ministry, arrest, martyrdom and burial in Toulouse. Sernin is believed to have died in 257 AD, the period of the Decian persecution.
The front panel to the right depicts the arrest of St. Sernin as he preaches in Toulouse, holding a book. To the left of this scene is the martyrdom of St. Sernin, who was tied to the hooves of a bull, goaded by persecutors with a stake in his hide and drags St. Sernin through the streets behind him. The bishop accepts his fate calmly, even finding the strength to bless two female saints as he passes them.
The left end panel depicts the burial of St. Sernin. A woman tenderly caresses his head while his soul -- represented as a small child leaves his body to be received by an angel above. On the far left, St. Sernin's tomb and shrine are shown.
The left transept, which is a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary, contains an altarpiece of gilded wood dating from the 17th century.
The earliest chapel here was built by St. Hilary, the first bishop of Carcassonne, in the 6th century. In the 8th century, an abbey was founded here and the monks replaced the small chapel with a larger church.
The relics of St. Hilary were discovered on February 22, 970, and the abbey was re-dedicated to him in place of St. Sernin, the first bishop of Toulouse.
What remains of the abbey today was built mainly in the 11th-14th centuries. The monastery was badly damaged during the Albigensian Crusade and restored by Abbot William (1237-60).
The abbey began its serious declined in the 14th century. The church experienced financial difficulties due to the devastation of the Black Death and Hundred Years' War. Saint-Hilaire began to be ruled by a succession of wealthy aristocratic abbots in the 16th Century who ignored their duties, bringing the abbey into further decline.
After centuries of such misfortune, the abbey was closed in 1748 by Monseigneur de Bezons, Bishop of Carcassonne. The abbey buildings were sold and, in 1758, the abbey church became the parish church of the town.
