(Redirected from Murder)
- For the 1990s police television series, see Homicide: Life on the Street.
Homicide refers to the act of killing another human being. Although homicide does not define an illegal act necessarily, sometimes it is used synonymously with "murder".
- Thou shalt not kill.
- The Bible (King James Version), Deuteronomy 5:17. Alternatively translated as "You shall not murder" (New International Version); "Do not murder" (Contemporary English Version); "Thou dost not murder" (Young's Literal Translation); "Do not kill another person" (New Life Version); "Do not commit murder" (New International Reader's Version).
- Of crimes injurious to the persons of private subjects, the most principal and important is the offense of taking away that life, which is the immediate gift of the great creator; and which therefore no man can be entitled to deprive himself or another of, but in some manner either expressly commanded in, or evidently deducible from, those laws which the creator has given us; the divine laws, I mean, of either nature or revelation.
- William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England (1765-1769), Book IV, Chapter 14: Of Homicide.

- Agatha Christie, Spider's Web (by the character Clarissa) (1956).
- Every murderer is probably somebody's old friend.
- Agatha Christie, The Mysterious Affair at Styles (by Hercule Poirot) (1920).
- It must be true that whenever a sensational murder is committed there are people who — though they are, quite properly, of no interest to law enforcers, attorneys, or newspaper reporters — weep, lie sleepless, and realize at last that their lives have been changed by a crime in which they played no part.
- Viña Delmar, The Becker Scandal, a Time Remembered (1968).
- To kill someone for committing murder is a punishment incomparably worse than the crime itself. Murder by legal sentence is immeasurably more terrible than murder by brigands.
- Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Idiot (1868).
- One of television's great contributions is that it brought murder back into the home, where it belongs.
- Alfred Hitchcock, National Observer, (15 August 1966).
- You're not a homicidal, I checked that on your record before I came out after you. That is why I know you will join the Corps and get a great deal of pleasure out of going after the other kind of criminal who is sick, not just socially protesting. The man who can kill and enjoy it.
- Harry Harrison, in "The Stainless Steel Rat" in Astounding magazine (August 1957); Inskipp the Uncatchable, recruiting Jim diGriz (AKA The Stainless Steel Rat) into the Special Corps.
- .....murder is not just a crime of lust or violence. It becomes possession. They are part of you … [the victim] becomes a part of you, and you [two] are forever one … and the grounds where you kill them or leave them become sacred to you, and you will always be drawn back to them.
- Ted Bundy, quoted by Bill Hagmaier. Rule, Ann (2009). The Stranger Beside Me (Paperback; updated 2009 ed.). New York: Pocket Books pages 380–96.
- Gentlemen of the Jury, the charge against the prisoner is murder, and the punishment of murder Is death ; and that simple statement is sufficient to suggest to us the awful solemnity of the occasion which brings you and me face to face.
- John Inglis, Lord Glencorse, reported in Trial of Miss Madeleine H. Smith, before the High Court of Justiciary, Edinburgh (1857), p. 98.
- For instance, if you have by a lie hindered a man who is even now planning a murder, you are legally responsible for all the consequences. But if you have strictly adhered to the truth, public justice can find no fault with you, be the unforeseen consequence what it may. It is possible that whilst you have honestly answered Yes to the murderer's question, whether his intended victim is in the house, the latter may have gone out unobserved, and so not have come in the way of the murderer, and the deed therefore have not been done; whereas, if you lied and said he was not in the house, and he had really gone out (though unknown to you) so that the murderer met him as he went, and executed his purpose on him, then you might with justice be accused as the cause of his death. For, if you had spoken the truth as well as you knew it, perhaps the murderer while seeking for his enemy in the house might have been caught by neighbours coming up and the deed been prevented.
- Immanuel Kant , On a Supposed Right to Tell Lies from Benevolent Motives (1797).
- Through violence you may murder a liar but you can't establish truth. Through violence you may murder a hater, but you can't murder hate. Darkness cannot put out darkness. Only light can do that.
- Martin Luther King, Jr., "Where Do We Go From Here?" (Address to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (16 August 1967).

- Murder, like talent, seems occasionally to run in families.
- George Henry Lewes, Physiology of Common Life (ch. XII).
- Why should murder be so over-represented in our popular fiction, and crimes of a sexual nature so under-represented? Surely it cannot be because rape is worse than murder, and is thus deserving of a special unmentionable status. Surely, the last people to suggest that rape was worse than murder were the sensitively reared classes of the Victorian era … And yet, while it is perfectly acceptable (not to say almost mandatory) to depict violent and lethal incidents in lurid and gloating high-definition detail, this is somehow regarded as healthy and perfectly normal, and it is the considered depiction of sexual crimes that will inevitably attract uproars of the current variety.
- Hell of a thing killing a man... you take away all he has and all he's gonna have.
- Will Munny (Clint Eastwood), Unforgiven (1992), written by David Webb Peoples
- One murder made a villain,
Millions a hero. Princes were privileged
To kill, and numbers sanctified the crime.
- Beilby Porteus, Death: A Poetical Essay (1759), line 154.
- I believe too thoroughly that we create our own reality, for one thing -- an unpopular belief where violence is concerned -- but I'm convinced that the victim-to-be picks out the assailant with as much skill and craft as the murderer seeks his victim, and until we learn much more about both, we'll get nowhere battling crime. I'm not justifying murder by any means, but I'm saying that the victim wants to be murdered -- perhaps to be punished, if not by a vengeful god then by one of his fellows, and that a would-be murderer can switch in a minute and become the victim instead; and that the slayer wants to be slain.
- Jane Roberts, Psychic Politics: An Aspect Psychology Book, p. 205.
- I say a murder is abstract. You pull the trigger and after that you do not understand anything that happens.
- Jean-Paul Sartre, Dirty Hands (1948), Act 5, sc. 2.

- Rod Serling Speech at Binghamton Community High School (1968)[specific citation needed]
- We are concerned here only with the imposition of capital punishment for the crime of murder, and when a life has been taken deliberately by the offender, we cannot say that the punishment is invariably disproportionate to the crime.

It should do. Sometimes its perfectly fine for a major release, and sometimes it doesn't work for some people.
having had a few days to think about this, and posting a couple of times, the more i think about this the more and more i get annoyed about 1 thing. I am still being forced to use ONE system, and then KEEP it there afterwards. If i was given the OPTION to get rid of steam after activating, and play my game as normal i might think about purchasing fm 2012..
all i am asking for here SI, is the choice to get rid of steam after activation, after all it does nothing to help me after i activate? (im still confused as to why its called a ONE time activation, if steam has to continually check my activation when i load up a game)
Here's a thought, I supose those "Terrorists" that attacked the servers back on FM09 release day, I presume they are currently planning their 2011 "theatre of operation" (as they now have a chance to do their thing again). Are we confident that they will be thwarted this year?
They won't do that, too many of them use Steam to play games themselves
Both posts above were made very soon after my detailed response to Miles Jacobsen's post. While I can't prove this, I'm pretty confident that both of these posts were aimed at me, given the timing and the nature of the comments (emboldened).
I'm disappointed you feel that way, that you dismiss posts on their size and complexity and, IMO, by doing this, try to dumb down the discussion here and nulify it.
The irony here, of course, is that if you don't like essays / walls of texts, you should have said that to David SEGA (the OP) and then to Miles.
There are plenty of valid negatives towards Steam, but I could live with all of them if it meant I could use it only for activation, and then never see it again.
I'd never get a free copy of FM and have bought every SI CM/FM game as soon as I physically could on/after release day since about 96/97. In terms of value for money (hrs enjoyment per penny) nothing comes close (including the missus ) so am more than happy to shell out 30 quid, but this steam crap is my arnhem.
I'm going to wait this year. Let you guys test it until patched, then really consider whether FM11 remains my choice of game well in to 2012. It won't make a jot of difference to anyone but me, but hey ho.
Oh no… I play on a Mac, and I used to install it with the CD, FM11 though I bought through steam, and while FM has never crashed before, it does now, ALL THE TIME, both steam and FM are very unstable.
I was looking forward to installing FM12 fresh with the CD instead of steam to avoid that extremely unstable crappy interface, don't get me wrong, steam is a good idea and all that, but the execution is just horrible, being disconnected from steam out of nothing is something that happens daily, and not just for me, all my friends on steam get disconnected at the same time, and steam often drags FM with it, I have now had to turn on save automatically daily on FM to not lose my progress
Very disappointing SI, but can't say i'm surprised.
Just in case they've been forgotten, a reminder of when we had a democratic right to vote here.
pigfacemonkeyman's original poll, now closed.
pauly1616's follow-up poll, also closed.
Here was a 3rd poll that barely drew breath, after 3 votes, then closed.
If you view the results, they're not exactly thumping endorsements of SI/SEGA policy.
As I have said before, very disturbing that these have been closed. I understand that the moderators want to keep the discussion in one place but I'm sure posts could be moved, threads could be made "poll only" or they could even have supported a new thread, early in this discussion, that was "poll only". That none of these options occurred makes me conclude that SI/SEGA don't want a situation where the level of support / opposition is quantified.
Last edited by Lord Rowell; 20-09-2011 at 21:30. Reason: Added link to 3rd poll
So what about the people that don't have internet? I do, obviously, but it will lose customers that way.
Can we install the game on more than one PC? If so, great, as I have other family members who would want to play it.
"While Valve collects personally identifiable information on a voluntary basis, for certain products and online sites, Valve's collection of personally identifiable information may be a requirement for access to the product or site."
What is "certain"? How do you know at some point FM12 won't be one of those "certain products"?
Last edited by nessi; 20-09-2011 at 21:41.
I'm also concerned, the way the recent discussion on this thread is going, is that a compromise of one-time activation by Steam may end up being a future solution - but that's no use to people without internet access, which in turn is a genuine equity issue.
I'm not suggesting Miles = the Prime Minister but the point is the same.
Last edited by Lord Rowell; 20-09-2011 at 21:46. Reason: added more
I don't of know any case when they have but I'm pretty sure that proviso is made to cover some kind of exceptional circumstance.
There is a problem with piracy, so what should be done? Of course, let's slap the people that don't have internet connections because obviously they are the ones doing all the pirating. Frankly, as long as you are not one of the unfortunate section of people then everything is just dandy...
If I were a journalist.
I've probably received or am about to receive some kind of heads-up / material re. the release of FM12.
If I'm a half-decent journalist, I'll go visit the community forums to see how the fans feel about the new release, judge the level of excitement, how the producers interact with their fans and so on.
What I see, and then conclude, will influence my decision as to a. whether to give any publicity at all and then b. what kind of publicity to give
If you were a journalist visiting these forums, now, what would you think?
Last edited by Lord Rowell; 20-09-2011 at 22:03.
It's my responsibility to stop them spying on me?? And that's fine with you?? goggle bucked that gaining info on peeps living in a house and are doing fine out of it.
I just want to buy a freaking computer game, and not being computer literate I don't want to read a shedload of text and try to work it out how I decide to stop being spied on to play football manger.
And according to the terms and conditions somebody posted here....if I don't like it I can't play a game bought off a 3rd party. Steam decide which.
SI should be paying you. Or steam.
Last edited by Jibby123; 20-09-2011 at 22:05.
Also, Kriss, as an aside, we need some form of cumulative quote facility here (asking you this as a moderator ) , because all three posts here need to be together. It's fine when the forum isn't busy as people will be able to mentally link the sequenced posts, but when its busy it falls apart. At least allow cumulative quoting of, say, 3-4 posts.
I was able to find what I wanted way before being mined to have future marketing pushed my way. Tailored for my needs according to them.
Screw it. You've convinced me. SI can go whistle for my £30 this year, not just because of steam but the attitude of you and SI with the lording of three wise monkey thinking of hear no evil see no etc etc. One loyal customer from the 90's gone for a while. Besides, am enjoying FM11.
I'll ask the forum admins on the other one, V Bulletin is a horrible piece of kit and the facility is probably already there but unrecognisable.
When FM11 was in publicity mode last year, I'm sure, unless my memory is failing me, that Miles was blogging on sources external from here - I think the Daily Mirror was one. My memory also tells me that this was well before the release date.
We're now about a month from the release date.
Where is the external publicity? I did a bit of an internet search and can't find much. I could be wrong so please someone help me out if I am, seriously.
This is going nowhere, i just want to play fm. not fm12 this year so thanks. helps me escape from all that. I'm done.
Last edited by Jibby123; 20-09-2011 at 22:26.
oh well guess ill be not getting it this year as i dont have internet at home as use my phone... and not gonna pack up pc move it to a friends house and install some 3rd party **** that i do not want on my pc... that will be 4 of us living in the same house not buying
delete this plz.
Last edited by RvN#17; 20-09-2011 at 23:02.
Thanks for your acknowledgement of the 2nd point. If the facility isn't there then then, speaking as a person who runs a board, has admined on a large board, I'd say this one might need to move on elsewhere if this level of configurability isn''t available.
By the way, as you deal with them every day, are you some kind of media officer for SI? I'm wondering how you have to deal with them every day?
Last edited by Lord Rowell; 20-09-2011 at 22:36.
hahaha poor Kriss, i bet he cant wait till release day
@ kriss
Hang on a minute.
A. You're a moderator.
B. You deal with the press every day, presumably on behalf of SI/SEGA.
Surely if you're a moderator here, you have to have neutrality? If not, it should be openly disclosed. How does all this square?

*waits for inevitable analogy*
Kriss conspires with the devil clearly.
You know Lord Haw Haw was right, there's no real publicity out there about FM12 that I can find, last year the Mirror blogged it, they have done all those different national blogs this year but not much else that I can see
Well, there goes my intended purchase of FM 2012. I had been looking forward to it, too, but I have an older computer I've used for this game and I'm afraid it couldn't handle another resource hog in Steam and still be able to run the game anywhere near like I like it.
Looks like FM 2011 will be my last in this series, or at least until clearer heads prevail and those who make the game stop making the game's customers work harder to enjoy a product rather than making things easier for what is, lest they forget (and they have) an entertainment and leisure product.
(Damn, stop mentioning those damn cars...)
I know, I know - I, too, am sorry, Kriss

Will the pirates now suddenly buy the game? I doubt it. People who really enjoy FM will pay for it. Those who don't really care about SI or the game will pirate it. Loyal fans are the only ones suffering from this decision to activate using Steam. But I suspect Steam are acting as a strategic partner to either SI or Sega and therefore SI will benefit which is a good thing.
In short, you commented that they were specialist journalists and that you deal with them on a daily basis, hence you had better knowledge than us. That's quite a statement.
When I challenged your position in post 2888 re. a media position and incompatibility with the role as a moderator, you then say you don't work for SI and they're your mates. Which suggests to me that you don't have anything like the authoritative knowledge or insight you suggest.
This suggests to me that you're bluffing, you don't have anything like the knowledge or experience, other than your mates (your words) which destroys your neutrality as a moderator.
Yet you, more than anyone, have been carrying the fight for SI on this issue.
I think you are in a compromised position now. I also am very concerned that you have been allowed to moderate here, given your relationship, in your own words, with Miles et al.
really dont see what journalists have to do with this at all. In fact its utterly irrelevant to the rollout. This is why this thread should be closed, people seem more intent on point scoring and personal digs than anything else
I'd suggest you do some research on privately owned forums to begin with, there's no requirement for neutrality and though we strive to observe democratic principles on here there's actually no requirement to do so.
This forum is the private property of Sports Interactive, read the terms of use and house rules before you start some kind of civil rights demo.
I'm not concerned whether you believe anything I say or not, I have no agenda and I'm permitted to express myself on here exactly as I want to, Moderators don't receive instruction from SI and we're not required to follow any party line.
Indeed you'll have seen some Mods express extreme displeasure over the Steam issue, I just happen to be happy with it in my FM player persona.

funnily enough steam has never caused me an ounce of pain and ive been using it for years now
i genuinely have no idea what those having a meltdown about this are carrying on about
hopefully like most things in life, these people will bite the bullet and realise that all these terrible things they thought would/could/should happen, never eventuate at all....

I just have to laugh at people complaining about having to d/l a 3rd party program and saying it'll increase piracy. If I'm not mistaken, a Steam Emulator is still a 3rd party program, and a much less safe one at that. Complaining about a legitimate, safe program, but willing to download a possibly trojaned/keylogged program which really could swipe data, etc?
The warped logic of some people!
I think in the world of marketing and consumerism that is hardly a conspiracy theory. Most of us are just disappointed that SI have headed this way. But perhaps we just have to accept that would happen and probably since the split is has become more obvious every year.
Some good points have been raised that if piracy is the reason for this the logic is possibly flawed. Perhaps this has been more about making more money....hardly a conspiracy.
Paradox has been discussed as a company who openly shares its research into the idea and says DRM made no difference to their sales...conspiracy? They have increased sales based on focusing on their customers.
I would rather Sega/SI just openly said....we know this will annoy some of you...but in reality we will make a larger profit long term. Instead they just try to bluff their way through it. Too much like politicians for my liking I guess some of us remember when CM was kicking along and we all felt part of the ride, part of the community, respected, not just the "consumer". Old school perhaps.
The objective of Steam hardly needs to be questioned,get more customers, make more money, and get information that will help them make more money....not much for the conspiracy theory.
Thanks for your valuable contribution.
Everyone has downloaded illegally in there time, people on this post, mods, people from SI Games. I have, as a 10 year boy, tape to tape with my Spectrum games, two tape recorders wired together. Borrow my mates Now 7 on vinyl, and tapping it on to tape, background noises and all, cutting out the Bros songs. As kids we don't know or understand what is wrong, as we get older we do and human nature for so many means we carry on doing it. As an adult I never had my xbox or playstation chipped, as I hated the thought of my warranty and the like being messed up. On my PC I've never used a torrent or the like, as I hate the thoughts of virus and other stuff getting on my computer.
Sega, as with all games companies have the right to protect its property, whether you like it or not. People moaning about Steam or any other activation need to understand, that without protection and a game easily cracked and available on the internet, would mean PC games would become a thing of the past or end up being pay as you play. No one wants that. Fact is, if you asked people would they download if given the chance, the day before release for free, most in here would! Would I. As that 10 year old kid with my trusty tape recorder, yep I would, but as a 39 year old father of 1, i will be putting my box of FM12 next to every copy of FM and CM released by SI, Sega or domark. (i hope a box version will always be available). So stop whining, and just install steam and stop making excuses or threats of not playing as nearly all will be.
Time for CM93/94 on my phone now, right what's the score of match 2 on page 30.
Nobody seems to be able to say why they can't offer these people an alternative? The only reason not to offer an alternative is it may affect this new found profit.
Your post is about 30 pages to late
But Steam is also easily cracked. Some companies sell their game on Steam and on their own site for digital download without copy protection. They don't go out of business, they have research saying that DRM has little effect on their sales numbers.
If you want to moan about something, then do so when the game comes out and the AI managers are still useless, and don't use the young players correctly, or buy loads of useless players for no reasons!
SI have said no money exchanged hands with Steam. It's about digital rights management.
From the Wiki page relating to Steam
Steam is a is a digital distribution, digital rights management, multiplayer and communications platform. It has minimal digital rights management for software by providing "Custom Executable Generation" for executable files that are unique for each user, but allow that user to install the software on multiple computing devices via Steam or through software backups without limitations. The user is required to have started Steam while connected to the Internet for authentication prior to playing a game, or have previously set up Steam in an "offline" mode while connected online, storing their credentials locally to play without an Internet connection.
What it is is making sure that the person playing the game has authenticated it through Steam.
Nothing more.
Eugene, you have stated you are a fanboi on another thread, which is fine. So you are obviously going to defend Sega against anything that is being said here. I am a fan of FM. They are making it impossible for some people to play the game and offer no alternative. Why are you and others against them getting an alternative?? Nobody seems to want to answer this. The only answer given was that it would cost them mony (hence the profit argument). In response people than repeat the stop piracy argument, or leave poor old Sega alone. Just makes me scratch my head that people are willing to defend the company and say tough luck to the gamer. It has shown me how people think nowdays.
When things happen that stop you playing a game or make you question a companies motive (which we should always do) we will see different responses here I am sure.

God is this still going round in the same circles?
SEGA/SI - "this is about piracy"
Irate poster - "no its about profit"
defensive poster - "no its about piracy"
Irate poster 2 - "shut up you dont know what your talking about, before long SI will be watching us through our monitors and will know the colour of our wallpaper, not only that, but they will be sharing this info with every home decorating firm in the UK"
Not quite the theme but close, i honestly thought i was one of the worst for constantly repeating myself over and over but you guys are taking it to the extreme now.
We all now know Paradox are the only games company in the world with any morals and probably going to be the only games company left in the next 5 years because they dont protect their games, everyone else will drive their customers away. We all know that steam ruins your computer whilst stealing your personal information with the view to broadcasting it around the world in various podcasts, But can we all accept this is happening? Maybe try and help people unsure about steam??
I am not defending anyone at all. You're explanations about SI, Sega, Steam collaboration as a profit making scheme between the 3 is deluded.
No money exchanged hands at all. According to SI/Sega.
it is not impossible to play the game. You just download Steam and play the game. Couldn't be any simpler.
No there are no alternatives at the moment.
I am not against them getting an alternative. But they have said they have thought about this for nearly 3 years. And this is the best option presented to them.
Now please tell me at what point in the 3 years of discussions and decision making how all of a sudden that after a week they announced that FM is only playable through activation on Steam - that you some how have a new fangled idea that somehow miraculously you have conceived of that the top decision makers in SI Sega and Steam have not conceived of yet?
They're motive? Make money. Sell more games. Protect their industry.
That's the motive. That's the steps they've taken. Like it or lump it.
yeh if you can't use Steam then you're out of luck, you can't play the game. This is actually something SI/Sega/Steam have thought about. I'm sure they came to this conclusion a long time before you did. And I'm sure they sat around mulling it over and thinking about how it affects their game.
And I'm sure they had all the necessary data in front of them to make an informed decision from over 3 years of thinking of a way to secure their software.
You'll find that FM09 only 4% of people activated via Telephone. And the rest by internet.
Yeh a small percentage of people will not be able to play it. But a much larger percentage than before will be able to play it.
SEGA/SI - "this is about piracy"
Irate poster - "no its about profit"
defensive poster - "no its about piracy"
Irate poster 2 - "shut up you dont know what your talking about, before long SI will be watching us through our monitors and will know the colour of our wallpaper, not only that, but they will be sharing this info with every home decorating firm in the UK"
defensive poster: "Hey I love Sega. Read my other posts..I admit to loving them biasedly.... and screw the game players. Why should Sega care anyway. Yeah,,,screw you all. An alternative...why? I don't need one...other people do...well tough luck...I love Sega....Do whatever you want Sega because baa baa baaa,
Just thought i would expand that for you Milner. Don't try to suggest that the naysayers have been out of order with weak arguments and those for have been convincing.
Why not offer an alternative????
God in 5 weeks time the same people will be moaning about SI releasing a faulty product, to many bugs, demanding patches, like there human rights have been abused!
Apart from a small (very small) amount of users that may have problems because the lack of an internet connection. And even this, it's only apply with people with desktops, because if they install the game in an laptop this issue can be solve very easely.
The other issue, could be in terms of patching the game exclusively by steam. This could raise a couple of questions.
All the other issues, and particularly the "3rd party program"... well... i think that its important that a person had a "personnal quest" in their life! A goal... a reason to fight for! But common... Steam!?!?! Why dont you spend all this energy in defending human rights or something like that?
"Yeh a small percentage of people will not be able to play it. But a much larger percentage than before will be able to play it." - and you accuse others of making up stuff.
Anyway. I give up. It is now only fanbois defending the decision (because only they could at this point) so a logical argument is finished.
See what happens in the future but FM11 will do me for the next few years by the look of it
Happy gaming all
There is no alternative, you have to accept that, steam is the only option, it really is that simple, not one of the post in this 30 page thread will change that, all you guys are doing is going over and over and over and over and over the same points and winding up Kriss.
Why they have not offered anything else is irrelevant, they have not and will not offer anything other than steam this time. Only the sales figures and steam feedback will change anything for FM13.
If you are going to address the issues then at least try to highlight the genuine concerns. We all know that if SEGA/SI tells you that you need to swallow a 13" mumbasa that you will, we are not disputing that - but you can't expect that everyone feels the same way...
It's funny that you project this image and at the same time tell people who have concerns to just lie down and except this (another way of saying shut up). Totally unfair judgment on your part...
And I'm not making anything up. If you read the original post it's all there. Or at least a different post by Miles, that millnerpoint posted.
The game will be available to much larger percentage than before through Steam. I think most of their sales came through Steam last year anyway.
And that's just fact.
You won't get an alternative this year. And nothing will change that.
Unless Steam activation is a complete and utter failure.

i realy dont see the post man turing over postal keys to alow you to copie it to make another lock. the post ofice might sell you a locking box that is keyed on one side to the postman's master lock. the post ofice would be the place to start that conversation. a post ofice box would be the easy way out but would cause you to go there to get your mail and i'm guessing that would defeat the purpose as you want it secured at your house..
although it wont lock the box this is a cool way to dress one up.

summer is here, plant a tree. if you don't have space or time to plant one sponsor some one else to plant one for you. a tree is an investment in our planet, help it out.
I have been thinking of having a very long and strong bungie cord hooked to the mail box from the porch bell with a quick release. Not only do you not have to walk past the porch..........you know when the bell sounds "You've Got Mail". This concept worked very well with our fake Christmas tree the day after Christmas which is stored in the next room.

Hey every body thanks for all the great threads. Been away from the computer working my butt off and havn't had a chance to respond all the posts. I have to tell you the box I am working is sorta like a a real postal box like the kind you use to drop off your mail at the post office the mail goes in in a shoot type of a front door . On the back side of the box is where you collect the mail. I haven't talked to the mail person yet to see how we will arrange the out going mail issue. I am probaly going to work some thing out with a combo lock simple enough that any cover driver will be able to open it . I will post Pictures as soon as I get it done. Gotta say I love the truck mail box that is really a neat design. Laughed my rear off about the bullet proof mail box as well. You really rose to the challenge of the little punks out to destroy you mail box .....Again thanks everyone for the treads...Keep em coming love to hear what ya have to say...KT

my lockable mailbox has a pivoting door that's about 12"x 1" at the top edge. it allows mail to drop in but you can't get it out through the slot. It takes a key to open the door to get access to the mail.

A mailbox is negligible without the locking. We cannot protect our mails or packages if we don't have a lock system in our mailbox. So always try to get a mailbox which has locking system.

He ran as a member of Athletics Kenya and Kasso Kenya Athletics. Towett also played soccer and was captain of his soccer team. Towett is the third addition to the Buccaneer men's track and field and cross country rosters for the 2004-05 season. Walker commented, "Our team is developing a strong base with this year's recruiting class and I'm looking forward to the upcoming season."

I don't see this working.
An engine driven welder must have the engine rpms at a precise speed otherwise weld output will suffer. Usually diesels spin at a much lower rpm than gasoline engines, therefore unless you spin the diesel at high rpms (which could be damaging, I don't know the rated rpms on that particular motor) then output will be substantially limited.
If you want to run something other than gasoline, there are companies that make propane conversion kits.

Our strategy
Improve the quality of life of ordinary citizens by working with communities and local leaders to create and strengthen sustainable, legitimate livelihoods. Promote gender integration and equal opportunities for women and girls.
The context
Decades of ongoing conflict, political instability, drought and economic chaos have left Afghanistan one of the world's poorest and unstable nations. Eighty-five percent of the population relies on agriculture and natural resource-based livelihoods, leaving them vulnerable in a precarious economy.
Our work
- Agriculture & Food: Increasing farmers' production through training, infrastructure and links to local and global markets
- Economic opportunity: Providing training and work opportunities in areas ranging from road-building to poultry farming
- Environment: Identify and address natural resource depletion by educating farmers and government officials about sustainable water development
- Women & Gender: Helping women learn job skills and start small businesses

Yellow Toadflax
Yellow toadflax, also referred to as butter-andeggs, jacob's ladder, common toadflax, toadflax, ommon linaria, and wild snapdragon, is a member of the Scrophulariaceae or figwort family. Yellow toadflax is a herbaceous perennial with stems that are somewhat woody at the base and smooth towards the top of the plant. Stems of yellow toadflax are sparingly branched and usually 1 to 3 feet tall. Leaves are linear, narrow, pointed at both ends, and usually 1 to 2 inches in length. Leaves of the plant are mainly alternate but may appear to be opposite due to crowding. Both stems and leaves are pale green in color. The flowers that grow at the base of the upper leaves resemble a snapdragon, the upper lip is yellow, the corolla is two-lobed, and the lower lip is three-lobed with an orange spot. A long spur is located at the base of the flower and can be as long as the rest of the flower combined. Yellow toadflax seeds are dark brown to black, 1/12 inch in diameter, and flattened with a papery circular wing. Yellow toadflax can be distinguished from Dalmatian toadflax by leaf structure. Yellow toadflax has narrow linear leaves and Dalmatian toadflax has broad, heart-shaped leaves.

During a power outage, skip the hassle of running multiple extension cords from your generator to your appliances. Instead, connect your portable generator to a permanently installed Generac manual transfer switch. By installing a transfer switch at the electrical panel, you eliminate the possibility of dangerous back feeds or electric overloads. A homeowner can safely run selected appliances such as a furnace, well pump, sump pump, refrigerator, television or lighting during a power outage.
Select-circuit transfer switches allow you to choose 6 to 16 select household circuits to power during an outage. If your needs change and later you choose to power more, your installer can easily expand the transfer switch by just adding more circuit breakers. Ideal for powering your furnace blower (gas or oil only), refrigerator and kitchen circuits, well pump, water heater, lights, security system, garage door opener and television. The enclosure can be surface or flush* mounted indoors next to an existing electrical panel in a basement, interior room or garage. Accommodates Arc fault and GFCI breakers to meet current code requirements. Wattmeters help you balance generator loads to prolong engine life. UL Listed in USA and Canada.

Price: $39.00
In 1974, the vast burial chamber of third-century Chinese Emperor Qin Shihuangdi was discovered by farmers in the north-central Shaanxi Province. It contained more than 7,000 life-size terra-cotta warriors. This set of four handcrafted miniature terra-cotta models of classic poses general, soldier, and archerarrives in a black silk gift box. The National Geographic Museum's 2009–2010 "Terra Cotta Warriors" exhibition was the most well attended in the museum's history, and these figures are a handsome commemoration of this landmark event.
Box is 7"W x 9"H. Warriors are 5"H (kneeling)–6"H (standing).
From left to right as pictured here are an administrative officer, a kneeling archer, a soldier, and a general.

The price of this set was less than the set in the gift shop in Xian, China, adjacent to the actual Terracotta Soldier excavations. However, I experienced two major problems. The first is the uneven bases that i had to build up with craft glue in order to get them to stand up for display. The second is that it is extremely difficult to determine which is the soldier and ranking officer. The description refers to only three of the four statues. It is relatively easy to pick out the General and Kneeling Archer, but the last two of the four is a guess, even with a book and different material/brochures that I brought home with me. The figures advertised should have corresponding titles for the rank or character that they represent.

I love the look of these warriors, but the coloration of one is quite different than the other three. Several have to be propped against something because the bottoms are not entirely flat, so they are not very stable. I still love them and they fit well with my decor, however.

About Me Avid Moviegoer
I'm a HS History teacher and when I saw these in the NG flyer I had to order them. The box they come in is very historical, and the characters really look good on my file cabinet next to my presidential bobbleheads. They look and feel older, like artifacts!!!

Received exactly as expected!
By Boston Otter
from Boston
After reading other reviews, I was a bit antsy about these, but a friend is really into this genre of art/artifacts and thought it would be a fun, inexpensive gift. Figured that, if they arrived broken, it would maybe even be more realistic. Received them today. They were carefully packaged, well presented and exactly as they look in the picture. No, they are not the color of a terra cotta pot, but that's not how they look in the picture. No broken pieces, chips or inability to stand on their own. Very pleased.

Splashy restaurant debuts attract a lot of attention, no surprise there. But today we take a look at two quiet newcomers, low-key neighborhood Italians with impeccable culinary credentials: J. Rocco, which opened in mid-May in River North, and Tre Soldi, which arrived mid-June in Streeterville.
J. Rocco
Chef/partner Steven Chiappetti worked under Paul Bartolotta at Spiaggia and the late Fernand Guittierrez at the Ritz-Carlton Chicago, and in 1997 he represented the U.S. in the Bocuse d'Or international culinary competition (he finished a very respectable eighth). The guy has fine-dining chops like you wouldn't believe.
But in all his subsequent solo ventures, including Mango (I still miss that one), Grapes and Viand, Chiappetti's watchwords have been simplicity and affordability, and J. Rocco is no exception. The River North restaurant offers $5 and $6 appetizers, $11 pizzas, pastas in the teens and most entrees at $20 or less.
"I thought the pricing was the key," Chiappetti says. "I wanted to create a neighborhood restaurant for the people of River North."
So far, it's working; J. Rocco is a low-profile spot where one can stroll in unannounced and still snag a table, though that circumstance is likely to change. Bare tables and brick walls are contrasted by the very sophisticated bar. There are good cocktails, craft beers and an all-Italian wine list with very friendly prices.
There are enough starter courses to assemble a good meal; give me the grilled octopus with light lemon dressing, a plump scallop in pesto and the Michigan burrata with "Mom's Gravy" (Chiappetti's tomato sauce), and I'd be a happy camper. Pizzas, which are grilled and feature oblong, honey-wheat crusts, are quite good; the duck-sausage version is my favorite. And make room for meatballs: Chiappetti offers five varieties, including excellent lamb meatballs with mint and a jolt of chili, and lighter-than-air shrimp meatballs in lemon-butter sauce.
Pastas are made in-house daily, which means certain varieties will sell out on occasion (a good thing, says me). I particularly liked the stracci with mushrooms and rosemary breadcrumbs, and the meat-rich tagliatelle with pork belly and veal.
Fans of the late, great Mango, and there are a few of us left, will have their memories stirred by the list of main courses, which includes such Mango originals as the roasted chicken. The onion-crusted sturgeon, another fine entree, is a throwback to Chiappetti's stint as the chef at Rhapsody. Cioppino, marked by a generous mix of seafood and a shallow pool of richly flavored tomato-fennel broth, is one of the best dishes on the menu; a cooked-to-death pork sirloin, a surprising goof by the otherwise reliable kitchen, was my only disappointment.
For dessert, do not skip the flourless chocolate cake. Just don't.
Tre Soldi
With Coco Pazzo (still one of the best Italian dining rooms in Chicago) and its casual sibling, Coco Pazzo Cafe, restaurateur Jack Weiss has been treating Chicago to all things Tuscan for more than 20 years; Tre Soldi, which opened 11 weeks ago, is inspired by Roman cuisine, which apparently is Weiss' second-favorite Italian region.
(The name, which means "three coins," refers to the tradition of throwing coins into Rome's Trevi Fountain to guarantee a return trip).
So the menu, overseen by chef Brandon Wolff, includes such Roman classics as spaghetti carbonara, veal saltimbocca and fried artichokes, though the artichokes are on hiatus as seasonal quality wanes. The pizzas are Roman-style, offering crusts with crispy bottoms and slightly puffy, pleasingly soft crowns. The half-dozen pizza versions include a very good salsiccia with potato, rosemary and nuggets of Slagel Farms sausage. And there's often a daily special: A bianca pizza with broccoli and fennel one night had terrific flavor, though it was too oily.
Pastas are very good, particularly the zesty bucatini amatriciana and a lamb-ragu tagliatelle that surfaces as a special with some frequency. Decline the offer of additional grated cheese, however: In the first place, the pasta rarely needs it, and in the second, Wolff occasionally pushes the salt-level envelope.
Desserts include house-made gelati, a light ricotta cheesecake with raspberry and a little praline, and an ever-changing rustic crostata — on my visit a nectarine crostata with slivered almonds. Vanilla panna cotta with honey-poached peaches is a dessert special to grab when you can.
The dining room is simple and attractive, featuring polished-wood tables and a distressed-look display table holding wine bottles and a vivid-green floral arrangement. There's a city of Rome mural on one wall, and a small bar in the corner that's actually a very pleasant place to grab a bite.

Pro Tapes Pro-Measurement Ruler Tape is a Kraft paper tape with adhesive backing which can be used as a repositionable ruler. It is a yellow paper tape printed black with markings. It is great for tough situations where a tape measure will not fit.
On the Imperial (English) version of the tape every 1/8 of an inch is marked (except on the tape labeled as no lesser increments - for that one only the 1 inch designations are marked) and it is numbered 1 through 12 at each inch designation. It then repeats itself every 12 inches. The 1 inch wide size gives you room off to the side to write, e.g. you can put a strip down and then mark off foot designations at every 12 inches - 1', 2', 3', ....
The Metric version of the tape is numbered 1 through 10 at each cm designation. It then repeats itself every 10 cm. There are alternating markings on the Metric tape - for the first 10 cm it is marked at every mm designation and then for the next 10 cm it is marked at every 1/2 cm designation (after the 1/2 cm markings there will be a perforation in the tape and a small gap (about 2mm) before the next run of mm markings begins).
Please note that because paper tape elongates a bit it will stretch over longer distances. It is perforated every 12 inches because for each foot it will be very close, but for longer measuring runs you may need to match it up with a metal tape measure to be sure when it is stuck down it isn't stretched at all or the tape can be un-perforated and each foot set down to match.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils

Kiss' 'Crazy Nights' Turns 25
In September of 1987, Kiss reached for pop-rock super-stardom by releasing the keyboard-heavy album 'Crazy Nights.' To hear them tell it, they probably wouldn't make the same choice again.
The group had packed stadiums and been one of the biggest rock acts of the '70s with their blend of well-written melodic hard rock and over-the-top theatrics, but had seen their career decline after several ill-advised attempts to conform to the changing trends of disco and pop. Add to that the loss of two original members and a seemingly desperate attempt to regain relevance by removing their trademark makeup, and the group had a lot to prove in the early-to-mid-'80s.
Kiss returned to the charts with the success of 'Lick It Up' in 1983, followed it up with the platinum 'Animalize' in 1984, and again with 'Asylum' in 1985, but the band were still frustrated by their inability to break out of their core rock audience and attain the mainstream Top 40 success of glossy "hair metal" acts like Bon Jovi and Def Leppard — both of which had grown up on Kiss.
They shot for that breakthrough on 'Crazy Nights,' which became a worldwide hit for Kiss and a platinum album in the United States. Although the record heralded a crossover of sorts, it just wasn't really very good, as even some of the band members admit. "I'd give it three stars," Paul Stanley said in the band's official biography, 'Kiss: Behind the Mask.' "I think it's a better album than it wound up sounding. I think it's a bit plastic-sounding."
Part of the reason for that was Gene Simmons' limited participation. The bassist was more actively involved in pursuing a number of outside interests (such as acting and producing other groups) than he was in Kiss, so the bulk of the work on 'Crazy Nights' fell to Stanley, whose pop instincts dominated the record. Stanley brought in producer Ron Nevison, who had lately demonstrated a penchant for rejuvenating the careers of aging rock acts like Heart and Ozzy Osbourne by getting them to work with outside pop writers on crossover material. He employed that approach with 'Crazy Nights,' and while it yielded commercial singles like 'Crazy Crazy Nights' and the power ballad 'Reason to Live,' it also resulted in a synth-drenched record that sounded like Kiss was unsuccessfully chasing the styles of much younger bands.
Gene Simmons especially disliked the album. "'Crazy Nights' was one of my least favorite records of any of the ones we've done," he stated. "It's much too happy . . . I think the playing is okay and some of the songwriting is okay, but it's much too pop."
Not everyone in the band was down on the record. Guitarist Bruce Kulick was relatively new to the band, having joined up for the previous record 'Asylum,' and he was pleased with his contributions to 'Crazy Nights.' "I had four co-writes on the album, so I was very happy," he recalled. "That was clearly a rock-pop album for 1987. I think 'Crazy Nights' is a very, very well-done pop album for us."
The album was released in September of 1987, and its lead single 'Crazy Crazy Nights' became a No. 4 hit in the U.K., making it Kiss' highest-charting career single in England. 'Reason to Live' and 'Turn on the Night' followed, and the band toured extensively, but despite the album's commercial success, it received primarily poor reviews from both critics and the fans who had followed the band through so many changes. 'Crazy Nights' remains an album that hardcore Kiss fans mostly find a puzzling detour in the band's career. In an Ultimate Classic Rock reader's poll, 'Crazy Crazy Nights' scored far and away as the fans' favorite track from the record, with the power ballad 'Reason to Live' a distant second, while the rest of the tracks scored a pittance of the votes. (We voted for 'Thief in the Night,' not that anybody asked…)

Read past issues of the magazine $300,000 Grant Will Replicate Le Moyne College and St. Joseph's College of Nursing DDPN Program Across New York StateRobert Wood Johnson Foundation Grant is Administered by the Foundation of New York State Nurses to Create a More Highly Educated Nursing Workforce SYRACUSE, N.Y. (For Immediate Release) … A two-year, $300,000 grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) will promote replication throughout New York state of the Dual Degree Partnership in Nursing (DDPN) program, a successful collaboration between Le Moyne College and St. Joseph's College of Nursing. The Foundation of New York State Nurses will target funds from the RWJF grant to support the New York State Future of Nursing Action Coalition's efforts to help current and future registered nurses (RNs) to advance their academic nursing preparation in order to improve patient care and help fill faculty and advanced practice nursing roles. New York is one of only nine states in the nation to receive grants through the RWJF Academic Progression in Nursing (APIN) program. APIN, which is run by the American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE), advances state and regional strategies aimed at creating a more highly educated, diverse workforce. "The Institute of Medicine (IOM) has established a goal of having 80 percent of RNs prepared with a bachelor's degree by 2020," stated Cathryne A. Welch, EdD, RN, New York State Future of Nursing Action Coalition co-lead, citing the IOM's "The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health" 2010 report. Known as the Dual Degree Partnership in Nursing (DDPN), the associate degree program at St. Joseph's College of Nursing and the upper-division bachelor of science (BS) degree program in the Department of Nursing at Le Moyne College allows high school graduates to earn both associate and bachelor's degrees in nursing in four years and to sit for the national nursing licensing exam after just three years. "Little did we know when we began the implementation of the Dual Degree Partnership in 2005 that it would not only be successful, but that it would be so timely in contributing to the IOM's recommendation of 80 percent of nurses being BS prepared by 2020," said Marianne Markowitz, MS, RN, dean of St. Joseph's College of Nursing. "We are thrilled that New York has been selected as one of the recipients of this prestigious grant," said Susan Bastable, EdD, RN, chair of the nursing program at Le Moyne. "The unique Dual Degree Partnership in Nursing model that Le Moyne College has developed, in conjunction with St. Joseph's College of Nursing, will be an integral component of the work that stems from this grant. We are excited to be playing a lead role in the future of nursing education in New York as part of this initiative." Since its inception, other nursing programs across the state have begun or are interested in replicating the St. Joseph's and Le Moyne College model. The RWJF grant will increase the number of RNs pursuing bachelor's degrees in currently established partnerships as well as expand the number of partnerships. "This grant will enable the originators of the DDPN model to establish an educational collaborative with colleges and their practice partners to further implement this model across the state," said Robert O'Connell, MSW, New York State Future of Nursing Action Coalition co-lead. "With a more than 70 percent completion rate, higher than any known reported RN to BS model being utilized in the country, increasing the number of partners will significantly contribute to New York's effort to achieve the IOM's goal."
