This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
Google visiting you every three days is not bad at all for a new site with almost no authority and backlinks.
I checked your domain on opensiteexplorer.org and sistrix.com and it's almost non-existent.
Set up Google Webmastertools and you'll have quick feedback about site problems. Do the same on Bing.
Just keep producing good content, verify your numbers in Google Analytics and increase relevant traffic for your site.
Well, you'll just have to add content that matters to searches. As you add more content, your website will be crawled more frequently.
If your site runs well (technically speaking) and your text is easy to index for Google, you should not have much trouble increasing your indexing frequency. Google will inform you if there are problems with your site if you sign up for Google Webmaster Tools and link your site to your account.

Ferry WWI soldier added to monument
MARTINS FERRY The name of one of the local heroes of World War II recently joined those of his brothers in service on the city World War II Memorial.
Anthony S. Bumbico's name has been added to the engraved names.
According to his brother, Sam Bumbico, Anthony enlisted at age 19 before the United States entered into the war.
"He was on leave when the war started," Sam recalled, noting his brother's strong sense of patriotism. The brothers had been near-lifelong residents of Martins Ferry after moving from West Virginia.
He said his brother was a battalion staff sergeant in the Army when he was killed in 1944 at age 22. He had entered into service in 1941 and participated in liberating the Aleutian Islands off the coast of Alaska from Japanese occupation. He was wounded in the Battle of Cold Mountain on Attu Island.
He recovered in Hawaii and was sent to the Philippines to participate in retaking Leyte Island, where he was fatally shot Nov. 17, 1944. He was a 17th Infantry Regiment, Seventh Infantry Division.
"He was pinned down by machine guns," he said, adding that Tony played a key role in taking out the machine gun nest, but was shot by a sniper while returning to his men.
His body was laid to rest in the American cemetery in Manila, in the Philippines. He was awarded two Purple Hearts, a Tour of Duty and a Bronze Star with Oak Leaf Cluster.
Sam added that during his service in the Navy as a chief petty officer, he did not have the opportunity to visit his brother's gravesite.
Later, the family would receive his diary.
Years afterward, Sam's son, also named Tony, observed his uncle's name was not on the Martins Ferry monument. This was likely due to an oversight, since several other veterans with the Bumbico surname were included and Tony's name could have been confused with another's.
His research led him to the Army Personnel Center in St. Louis. It took some effort to gather all the available information.
"A lot of records were destroyed in a fire," he said, noting that his research continued. He added that his uncle is briefly mentioned in "The Capture of Attu" by Dashiell Hammett, author of The Maltese Falcon.
Sam began bringing the matter before city officials. After speaking to numerous administrators and prior mayors, he began to see results. Council Member Robert Krajnyak took the lead in seeing Tony's name placed on the monument. He contacted the country's Veterans Administration and helped facilitate the process.
"Mr. Bumbico had all the paperwork from the government," Krajnyak said. The American Legion Post 38 made a donation for the engraving and Randall Gallagher Monuments engraved the stone at a discount. The monument was unveiled during the city's Veterans Day celebration.
"I got very emotional there," Sam said, adding that he thanks all involved. He was present during the unveiling. "My son was named after him."
"We're very proud of what he accomplished and saddened at how he lost his life," said Tony. "We appreciate the American Legion in Martins Ferry."

I often catch myself doing code unnecessarily complicated (sad but true). Is there any set of rules, discipline, etc to help avoid that? (excluding the KISS principle, because I know it but often forget when it comes to the real code :)

As Antoine de St-Exupéry says: "A designer knows that he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
This is a difficult and common problem, but it's something you can address over the course of the next few years. Recognizing it's a problem is the most important step, and once you have learnt to correct the kinds of complications you tend to add, you'll start designing without them.
When I realized I had this problem early in my career, I found it helpful to analyze and reanalyze every class, function, member variable, local variable, and nested function calls to see if things could be consolidated or eliminated while still meeting the given requirements. Basically, code golf.
I generally do these things to avoid over-complication
Maybe you should have a look at some literature about extreme programming. Those guys are very much trying to avoid unnecessary complexities. A common source for complexities is trying to generalize even if there is only one application of the generalized whatever. I think Kent Beck recommended to only generalize something if you have already implemented it in three different ways. For the first tries you should "do the simplest thing that could possibly work".
I'd like to think that I am pretty good at keeping things simple, at least when using C#, even though stack exchange is full of people who are better than me. You get better with experience. I personally do not like to plan ahead too much, particularly for small tools because I do not really know which exact direction I will move in until I sink my teeth into the project. So, I have to have something semi-working first. Once it does and I see no more potential hard spots, then I start trying to simplify things. Now, the easiest way to simplify things is to keep the UI and features simple to begin with. I have been making prototypes recently so sometimes it is easy for me to decide what goes in and what does not. If you have to give estimates and the code goes right into the core and will be highly scrutinized by QA, then you probably cannot afford the time to make everything perfect because of deadlines plus the quality better be good. In this situations you WANT to keep things simple in order to avoid/minimize the stress of missed deadlines.
If you have more freedom, and you want to delight the users while not taking a year to do it, then ask people for specific feedback. Do a random hall usability testing to make sure that other people can use the tool. Consult with more experienced colleagues on what a good approach might be. Implement something that works and post pieces on the code review site to see how others can solve the same problem better.
If you are about to decide between library A, library B or rolling your own - ask on Stack Overflow for advice. If you still are learning something such as CSS or SQL or XAML - ask on Stack Overflow.
You want to be breaking a problem up into pieces, find a good solution for each sub-problem and then put it all together.
Along the way you should utilize tools for re-factoring, style checking, TDD, etc.
For C# I would recommend Resharper, StyleCop. Try to find something for your language. Basically, you want to use your time efficiently so that you will have time for "post-mortem", refactoring, creating a library that
Once you are in the simplification/perfection stage, you are never quite done. This sucks if you have to move onto another project and not ever touch this code again unless fixing a bug. If the stakes are not as high, then you can go back to the older project and remove lines and lines of code once you discover generics, some library, etc. Did I mention that Stack Overflow is a great resource? Just do not be a http://slash7.com/2006/12/22/vampires/.
You can learn a lot from re-factoring old code, so that you will avoid making the same mistakes in the future. I hope this helps.
Even when I think I'm doing a good job of writing a program, chances are it can be simplified a lot.
I find the most useful thing to do is ask "Regardless of how it does it, what is this program supposed to accomplish?" i.e. If it's a compiler, it is supposed to read a file of code and write something that can execute. As such, if it's doing nothing unnecessary, it will be I/O bound.
I've also found that performance tuning leads to simplifying, as in this example, so if you get pretty good at diagnosing performance and recoding to improve it, that alone will teach you what you may be doing that is needlessly complicated, so you learn not to do it. (Often it is what you've been taught to do.)
I don't think I believe in the KISS principle anymore. First of all, they were overrated...
Consider this function
That's as simple as it gets. If we follow the KISS principle then we might do something like this. The function is NOT simple to test since now we have to redirect standard output to something the tests can process. You fix this by adding complexity to the function's interface by taking the output handle as a parameter. This is not as simple as can be done and I've run into KISS adherents that really freak out over stuff like this...especially if they're fighting with their superiors about whether unit testing should be done.
Furthermore, what is "simple" is in the eye of the beholder. Just the other day I caught shit for using a buffer object that grows as needed rather than malloc+memset+memcpy to copy a string handed to me by a network API. In my opinion using a buffer object is simpler because it's already there, does what I need (albeit it will do more), etc... In the other guy's opinion doing it by hand is simpler because the buffer is overkill. He's of course right because he's the boss.
Yet more, when faced with the decision to use a global variable to allow access by many functions vs. passing this variable around as a parameter it is quite obvious that the former is much "simpler". It's also rather obvious that in most cases it is the bad choice. Adherents to KISS though pick the former and their code turns into this untested knot of spaghetti that isn't even possible to conceptualize since modularity and decoupling have all gone out the window in an effort to keep things "simple"...and yes, by an obvious and possibly naive measure of simple it is much simpler to reach out and grab touch global than it is to call a function existing only to hide this global or pass around a parameter.
Consider also this code:
Very simple, that. I've seen way too many KISS adherents writing C code that looks like that, including the one I've currently got hammering on everything I do as "complicated". They assume so damn much and get way simpler than is safe to. Anyone who knows the language knows that the function above is incredibly unsafe and WILL someday result in bugs that take hours and hours to resolve. It's code like the above that give C and C++ bad names in fact and the industry is riddled with shit like this from basic apps to the financial industry and others...it's terrifying to me. But this is "simple" and why would you write a bunch of error detection and buffer protection code when you know that the input is always going to be shorter than X?
The answer to that question is of course that someone isn't going to know that you have this internal and arbitrary size limit and will exceed it...or some bug up the line will--which is what happened.
After catching crap for the last 8 months from this KISS adherent I've become rather cynical of the idea and think it probably leads to more problems than catches them. Writing reusable code is a good thing. Writing tested code is a good thing. Decoupling is a VERY good thing...and I would assert that in the end they make things easier to manage, easier to read, etc.. They are not, however "simple"; at least not in the way I've seen that word used of late.

- abstract
Recent empirical contributions emphasize the importance of (potential) market size for the development of new pharmaceuticals. At the same time many scholars point out the importance of of scientific advances for the industry's R&D activities. Against this background I analyze the relationship between (potential) market size, technological opportunities, and the number of new pharmaceuticals in the United States. Technological opportunities are operationalized as growth rates of the relevant knowledge stock as proposed by Andersen (1999, 1998). I analyze a unique dataset by using an "entry stock" Poisson quasi-maximum likelihood estimator. The results reveal a rather robust and significantly positive response of the number of new pharmaceuticals, i.e., new molecular entities or new drug approvals, to market size and technological opportunities.

J&B Met 2013: Tanki Em's guide to being Made To Fly
Tanki Em
I'm Tanki Em, a fashion-obsessed Cape Town dame living an awkward life.
I write about fashion, dream about clothes, think in trends and when the sun comes out in the morning, the first thing I think is: "Urg, this is going to be a rollercoaster of a day, so let's go!"
My life is random. I have troublemaker talents that cannot be challenged (that's how Dragon Ball-Z I can get), and recover after an emotional pow-wow via blogspot. I Instagram a lot so I don't Pinterest, I tweet but I'm probably antisocial. Some assume I'm a young businesswoman (if only they knew I'm trying to figure this thing out.)
All in all, I'm about clothes, fashion and the digital world. Everything else is just ... a blur.
My baby: www.cptstreetmag.com
Oh my. It's that time of the year where classic style and fashion are put aside for the celebration of avante-garde looks and one-of-a-kind garments that are either custom-made for the J&B Met, happening at the Kenilworth Racecourse on Saturday 2 February, 2013 – or dramatically altered retail store dresses and tresses which make the cut for this annual themed horseracing event.
The J&B Met is one of the biggest fashion and horseracing events in the country – and no doubt one where celebrities, designers, and socialites flock together to ooh and aah over the cheeky, elaborate and over-the-top garments on display. Granted, it is a day for the races as well, but one has to admit that the fashion takes over and wins the race from start to finish.
I have always found difficulty in working with the J&B Met themes but this year's theme, Made to Fly, does actually present an air of extravagant fashion opportunity. That said, I thought of birds and feathers when I heard the theme, but I also realised that current trends might work towards the idea of looking both fashionable and themed.
What to wear ...
First of all, DO NOT WEAR a pencil heel shoe – the racecourse is a predominantly grass and sand walk-about. The best shoes to wear are flats, wedges and sandals …
Now that that's out the way, the dresses. I have noticed that some are not about comfort, so I'll briefly say it: try to wear something outstanding yet comfortable. If it's too short, too tight and too small around the bust area, then you will spend more time fixing it than enjoying the day. There are ways to wear noted trends in feather style looks; as with the images here, you can consider a number of looks. I played around with the 60s swing dress idea, the peplum, the cheeky cocktail dress, the mermaid cut and the ball gown.
The mini 60s-style swing dress is really just a modern dress styled with the idea of a 60s look. A hot short dress with a sequin bodice and an ostrich feather skirt works just fine; style it with a headpiece, pearls and long lace gloves, and you pretty much have the look to a T.
The peplum is a trend that people took time to warm up to, and I know that most bloggers in fashion would like to see it go. Try it one last time at the Met: whether it's a peplum dress or an elegant two-piece skirt and top, you will not go wrong if you add a few details with statement jewellery and a small detailed headband.
The sultry cocktail look is basically for the risqué; it's about having that edge and playing around with it. You can go for the loose, fitted cocktail dress or the sexy fit cocktail feather look, understanding that it might be hot and a bit summery. If it has a dipping open back, then add some art to your back with some temporary tattoos or actual paint art. I think the cocktail dresses will win both for comfort and sassy style.
Then, we have the mermaid cut design, an elegant long dress that flairs out from the knee, creating that mermaid-like look. Detail the bottom with feathers, which add more volume, and you just might be a maiden who is Made to Fly.
Where to get it ...
Local designers like Gavin Rajah, Kluk CGDT, Stefania Morland and Hendrick Vermeulen design the best, one-of-a-kind garments in Cape Town. House of Fashion stocks pieces that are original and also limited in range. Since we are running out of time, the best bet would be House of Fashion, which is situated in Loop Street in the City Centre. And for hats and headpieces contact @BlackCakeJM via Twitter – they are your best friends for the headpieces game.
With most looks for such events, it's best to have them custom-made. You do not want to end up wearing a dress similar to someone else's. If you pop into a retail store, try reinventing the look you bought by adding some feathers to it, or having feathers printed onto your dress. I like the printing detail more than the tedious work of having to individually add feathers to a dress.

I know that one scale consists of 12 half-tones. But my question is still: Why? Why not 13 or 11?
This requires an excursion into musical history.
Originally, instruments were made to simply play notes that sounded "right" together. Why some notes sounded right and others wrong wasn't of great concern for most of humanity's history, until Pythagoras, (yes, the guy with the theorem) noticed that it had to do with intervals, and made a music theory based on perfect fifths. This theory had its problems, however, and was improved upon by later people, eventually ending up on what is called a "just intonation"
Basically, notes sound harmonious if the frequency of the notes is close to a simple interval, like 3/2 or 5/4. These theories were important because it meant it was possible for different instrument makers to make instruments that could play scales together, thereby making orchestras.
But just tuning has a problem: you can basically only play the scale that the instrument is built for, because the intervals between the notes are different. If you play a tune on the wrong scale, it will sounds out of tune. This means that if you want to sing along with the instrument, you have to find a singer whose range fits the song in the scale the instrument is built for. You can't transpose the song to fit the singer. Also, musicians were exploring the limits of what you could do with just intoned instruments.
So out of this came then the equal temperament. It splits the scale into equal intervals, meaning you can transpose a tune into other keys, and also means you can do dramatic chord changes and other interesting things. You can indeed split the octave into 11 or 13 notes if you should wish to do so, but to most people it will sound out of tune. But when you split it into 12 notes, you get close enough to the seven notes of just intonation for it to be bearable, except to some unlucky few supposedly burdened with overactive perfect pitch. The five tones that are in between the basic seven are, as expected, called "half-tones".
There are equal temperaments other than the 12 tones per octave that will sound fine, but they don't generally have a integral number of notes per octave. Wendy Carlos experimented a lot with this, and made such scales as the Gamma scale with a slightly mindboggling 34.29 notes per octave.
This question on math.se is quite similar to what you're asking and the answers give a lot of detail:
Mathematical difference between white and black notes in a piano?
Two points that may have not been completely answered.
It has to do with harmony. Notes clash the least when their frequencies match up. For example, a note and its octave match up every two cycles, or a 2/1 ratio. Other ratios that sound good are 3/2, 4/3, 5/3, 5/4, 6/5, and 8/5; these are called the basic consonant intervals. Intervals that clash are the dissonant intervals.
So why twelve notes?
This page (from which I quoted) provides greater detail: http://thinkzone.wlonk.com/Music/12Tone.htm
A fifth is the smallest non-octave consonant interval, with a frequency ratio of 3:2. If you start stacking pure fifths, the first result reasonably close to stacked octaves (2:1) is 12 fifths, which turns out to be 531441:4096 as opposed to 128:1 for 7 octaves. That's as close as you can get for a reasonable number of notes per octave. So if you are looking for a tonality built from stacked octaves and almost perfect fifths, a twelve-tone division will be pretty much what you'll arrive at.
This also happens to serve a few other intervals (major and minor thirds, for example), but worse so than fifths. "mean tone temperament" tries getting a number of major thirds pure at the cost of making several other intervals as well as some thirds sound worse, and "well-tempered tuning" gets several pure fifths and some nice thirds in exchange for some more distasteful fifths.
So over the millennia, tuning has changed its focus from pure thirds to pure fifths and finally settled on making only the octaves pure and building the rest of the scale around an equally-tempered fifth, resulting in 12 equal-tempered semitones.
When two notes are played together, they sound pleasing only if their wave curves come together every few cycles. We call them harmonic sounding.
If the wave curves never come together, or don't do so within a few cycles, they sound discordant.
Wave curves will only come together if the two frequencies are multiples of each other. For example, if one frequency is 200 cycles per second and the other is 600 cycles per second, their sound curves will coincide exactly 3 times every second, and they will sound harmonic.
By dividing each octave into 12 intervals, you maximize the number of pleasingly sounding pairs of notes. That is because the number 12 is divisible by more small numbers than any other number less than 60. It is divisible by 1,2,3,4,and 6. The number 60 would allow more pleasing combinations (1,2,3,4,and 5), but it would be ridiculous to divide an octave into 60 intervals.
So in modern western music they use 12 intervals. That provides the maximum number of pleasingly sounding combinations to create harmony.
Great answer by @john Baldwin above. Jut wanted to add that these minimum divisions are also the most practical to use. Taking the case of singing for instance between one note say C and its higher Octave C, 7 intervals produce the most distinct sound, plus 5 sharps and flats = 12.
And then if we start dividing it further it slowly starts getting very fine sub harmonies for the human hearing to discern. And these 12 divisions then also repeat in the higher and lower octaves and so on.
The easiest to identify is 4 divisions which is a divisor of 12, which makes up a pentatonic scale with the higher note, and is why is easily enjoyable.

DANVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Budget cuts will keep the U.S. Army Field Band and Soldiers' Chorus from performing this year at Danville's Great American Brass Band Festival.
The Lexington Herald-Leader reported Friday the festival has adjusted its schedule for the June 7-9 event to accommodate the change.
Festival Director Niki Kinkade said Friday that the Under Secretary of Defense has directed all military bands and other ceremonial units to halt travel for the spring and summer months because of federal budget cuts.
She called the cancellation "unfortunate."

EAST LIVERPOOL - The East Liverpool boys' basketball committed 35 turnovers enabling Steubenville to pull away for a 56-39 victory Friday night at Potter Fieldhouse.
"We came out and played well defensively," Big Red head coach Mike Haney said after his squad moved to 8-3. "We weren't happy with our turnovers. We also had a lot of miscues. We had some turnovers on some fastbreaks. We missed some layups."
The Potters dropped to 3-11.
"It was a rough night," third-year East Liverpool head coach Nate Conley said. "We are just going to forget about it and move on. It just wasn't our night.
"We threw the ball all over the place. The whole team did. It just wasn't one person."
Big Red's Perigon West tallied a game-high 19 points to lead the way, while Mylik Young netted 14 points.
Fact Box
Steubenville 56, East Liverpool 39
Steubenville 16 11 17 12 - 56
East Liverpool 10 6 13 10 - 39

Hayden Cunningham was the lone Potter to reach double digits, scoring 14.
Emmerling opened the game to give East Liverpool a 2-0 advantage. Unfortunately for the Potters, that was the only time they held the lead in the game.
Big Red led by as many as 21 points in the fourth quarter.
"We hang our hat on our defense," Haney said. "You can play defense every game. Offensively, sometimes you are cold and your shots are not dropping, but you can always play good defense. We want to get after it defensively, and hopefully good things will come from that."
A basket by TaJuan Lawson put Big Red up 16-6 forcing Conley to call a timeout with 1:46 left to play in the first quarter. At that time, the Potters had already committed eight turnovers.
The Potters scored the final four points of the first quarter to cut their deficit to 16-10 at the end of the quarter.
East Liverpool managed to hang around for most of the second stanza. A basket by Thompson made the score 22-16, but Big Red finished the half on a 5-0 spurt to take a 27-16 lead into the locker room.
"We knew their press was coming," Conley said. "We thought we made the right adjustments for it, but that wasn't the case.
"We are a young team. I don't want them to get negative attitudes. They are great kids."
Big Red extended their lead in the quarter.
A basket by West made the score 35-21. The Potters closed the gap to nine points (35-26) thanks to a three-point play by Emmerling and a pair of foul shots by Cunningham.
Big Red countered with a 9-0 surge to push the lead out to 44-26 on a basket by Sterling. Big Red led 44-29 entering the fourth.
"It was nice to come back and play with a lot of energy," Haney said. "We talked about how the last time we played them they really beat us on the boards.
"Tonight, we did a good job on the boards."
With all that is going on around them, Haney said his players have been able to focus in on the task at hand.
"When they step on to the basketball court they are focused," he said. "They are focused during practice. They are focused during games."
Big Reds visits Minerva Tuesday and crosstown rival Steubenville Catholic Central on Friday.

LAWTON (AP) — Jury selection is under way in the trial of a Fort Sill soldier charged with first-degree murder in the starvation death of a 10-year-old boy at an Oklahoma Army base.
Attorneys began questioning the first group of jurors Monday in the trial of Pvt. Connell Williams. Williams was indicted by a federal grand jury for the May 5, 2011, death of Marcus Holloway, the son of Williams' girlfriend, at Fort Sill.
Williams and the boy's mother, Candice Holloway, allegedly deprived him of food for several months until he died. Holloway has pleaded guilty to first-degree murder as part of a plea agreement in which she will serve 30 years in prison and testify against Williams.
Williams has pleaded not guilty in the case. Federal prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.

While Mitch Hurwitz claims that he's doing everything in his power to keep Fox happy, Running Wilde was just as bonkers as Arrested Development once was in last night's episode. This time, there's medieval costumes, horses, jousting, and a wedding!
It all begins with Steve Wilde's attempt to cause Emmy to dream about him at night. She get pissed about it, and the conversation turns to Steve's crush on Emmy—and how she's engaged to Andy (David Cross.)
Because the two are incredibly stubborn, they go along with planning an elaborate, three-day medieval wedding. The clip below starts off with Steve and Emmy's "wedding rehearsal," which gets the two into the mood of love until Andy arrives. Later, the two challenge each other to a joust. Here's how it all went down:
Finally, I'd like to say that Peter Serafinowitz' songs that narrated throughout the episode were hilarious. Here's his final song, which leads us into the local 10pm news.

Check out the reviews of these before buying. :(
I was going to buy then I read the reviews ... passing on this one.
Have to echo the sentiments above. Too many previous buyers are reporting these are lower quality than normal Fusion.
My guess is that these are factory seconds rather than actual knockoffs, but either way you do not appear to be getting the quality you expect.
There was only 1 review when I posted. At least the item is receiving more input now.
These are packaged and labeled in Fusion packaging, but they suck and are good for one maybe two shaves before they get rough...Don't waste your money.. I did
Wave off! I use meritline for things where quality isn't crucial: I have some really cool Starfleet cufflinks that I got from them, a multi tip screwdriver set (with tips for all kinds of odd screws), and a few other odds and ends where if the quality isn't quite up to snuff it isn't a real issue.
Razor blades aren't in that category. By all accounts these are awful. Stay away.
8 cartridges for 2/3rd the cost of 4 at Wally World? Danger Will Robinson, danger!!! Bad products detected!
It's a shame too, this is my favorite brand, and even model, blade.
Yes please stay away from these. I am one of those that bough and posted a review. They work, but you can tell the difference on the first pass. It was like they collected old cartridges, cleaned them up and repackaged them. Or maybe they didn't pass QC but still had to be sold as that brand for some reason. whichever, they are not worth the time or the nicks.
I bought these last time and they are not the quality that you get from the store. They are the exact packaging... I wonder if I could return them to Wally World, after opening the package a bit, so they coudn't be sold to another victim, I mean customer... Ultimately, Wally World would then deduct the returned item from their invoice to Gillette... So, Gillette gets what they deserve for even allowing these to be sold...
I paid $22.50 on fleabay for 8 carts. and they are real, check his references.
All he has are 4 packs listed now.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/GILLETTE-FUSION-PROGLIDE-POWER-4-PACK-FOR-SUPER-CLOSE-SHAVE-100-GENUINE-/190739775957?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c68fa01d5
$22.50 for eight measly cartridges? Talk about a ripoff!
Do yourselves a favor and buy a safety razor, a good badger hair shave brush, and some real shave soap or cream. DE blades can be had 100 for $20 for some good ones! Not to mention the lesser amount of irritation you get from shaving that way.
No razor topic will last long without a safety razor evangelist jumping in.
We get it. You like using a safety razor. It makes you feel as if you are special, and you want to share that specialness with everyone.
If you aren't interested in the product being discussed, though, (and clearly you aren't), why not save your preaching for those "shave like a man" sales, where you can all pat each other on the back?
I swear, these guys are worse than Mac users.
@craigthom: Why not lighten up and realize that on a site all about saving money, some people will like to share a pretty big way to save money with other people?
But no, I get it, you like being an asshole and feel as if you need to share your assholeness with everyone. Why not save it for anti-DE forums? Or hey, maybe you can start one!
I swear, these guys are worse than Microsoft haters.
@stryker4526: These blades last me 5-6 weeks each, no DE blades can last more than a few shaves. Why don't you look for GILLETTE FUSION PROGLIDE POWER 8 PACKs and see what you find for a price. Otherwise stick "with" your DE blades.
@stryker4526: I'm the asshole? I'm not the one telling other people they are wasting money and that the proper way to shave is the way I do it, not the way they do it.
That's you. Everyone who doesn't agree with you is wrong. We get it. Now go enjoy your shave.
@chrisk380: 5-6 weeks each? Maybe if you shave once per week (even then you're pushing it) or have a face made of leather... or baby fine facial hair.
And the difference is 8 cartridges apparently cost you $22 or more normally.
8 DE blades will cost you somewhere in the neighborhood of $1-3.
So thanks, I'll stick "with" (not sure why you put that in quotes) my DE blades.
@craigthom: Huh... strange. I re-read my post and I didn't see the part where I said "you're wasting your money and the proper way to shave is the way I do it, not the way you do it." Can you point that part out to me please? All I recall mentioning is that a cheaper method exists and you freaking out about it.
Seems more like you're the one imposing this "everyone who doesn't agree with me is wrong" attitude.
@stryker4526: Try reading your message again.
First, you tell people they are being ripped off when they buy their blades. How is that not telling them they are wasting money?
Second, you tell people they should "Do (themselves) a favor" and do what you do. You are saying your way is superior to their way, no? If not, then how could they be doing themselves a favor?
You are not just claiming that using a safety razor works best for you. That would be a valid opinion. You are instead claiming it will work better for me and for everyone else. You have no way of knowing that, but that doesn't stop you.
@craigthom: Objectively from a cost standpoint (aka where I was speaking from) it DOES work better for everyone. That's not disputable.
@stryker4526: If cost is the only factor you consider important, then why shave at all? You'll save even more money.
Some of us consider other factors when making decisions, and cheaper is not always better.
Again, live your life the way you want to, but don't presume to tell me that your way will make mine better.
I discovered years ago that the best deal on razor blades is Gillette's disposables. They are the exact same blade as the Sensor, at a fraction of the price. You can get a box of 52 for about $28 at Sam's Club. Use it a week, then toss it. The box will last you a year.

During her two-week stay over the Thanksgiving holiday, she worked with other nurses and mental health workers in providing and assessing the needs of those affected by Hurricane Sandy. Vincetta was assigned to the Greater New York Chapter and saw clients in the Bronx, Staten Island, Harlem, Manhattan and Brooklyn. Every day her team would help clients renew prescriptions, arrange for visiting nurses and on occasion just sit and talk with them about the hurricane. Many clients were still in shelters as their homes were destroyed. The volunteers also brought needed supplies such as water, personal hygiene items, diapers and other necessities. Individuals wishing to help locally and during major disasters must complete an application, complete the background check and participate in several required American Red Cross response courses. For information or to volunteer, go to www.redcross.org or call the chapter at (740) 264-7244.

This question already has an answer here:
I would like to ask about where to start learning Linux OS. I not asking aboout how to install it, or how to use the openoffice, or Chromium explorer. I would like to have control of my computer in every single issue using the Terminal commands. Is there a recommended roadmap?
I guess that first I will need to know how is the architecture, kernel, layers etc, and then learn about commands in console, programing scripts, and so on...
Please, give me an advice and if you can, an internet source of each item recommended by you.

I've worked with a few embedded systems, but now I'd like to make my own piece of hardware and despite a pretty thorough knowledge of Linux, I have no idea how to get Linux up and running on new hardware. So I'm looking for resources on how to do some board bringup/support.
Some more details: I'm wondering about the following kinds of things: How does Linux know the processor configuration - e.g. how the pins are configured, how much cache is there, is there an MMU present. How does Linux know about the board layout - e.g. which pins are the memory bus, where is the row select, column select, which pins are an i2c bus, and so on.

At the moment if there is no custom menu defined it falls back to the primary menu.
I am trying to edit this code, so if there is no custom menu then display nothing. Having no luck, doesn't help that I'm new to php and wordpress. I have searched online and tried a few other solutions. Knowing my luck it's probably something really simple.
If anyone could help me out, I'd appreciate it a lot!

Valentine's across America surprised their loved ones with candy or flowers.
"I'm very shocked. I'm really not the type that's likes to get attention. So I'm really kind of bashful when it comes to something like this," says Natcher Elementary School teacher, Nichole Turner.
Women all across Bowling Green today were surprised by their sweethearts for Valentine's Day.
"I don't let nobody have their flowers unless I see them because I like to see the expression on their face," says Deemer's delivery driver Sheila Beason.
For Beason, playing Cupid for a day is all about seeing a happy face.
While reports say between $150 and $175 dollars is spent by men on flowers for Valentine's Day each year, some take the surprise a little bit further.
"The reactions are always different some people just start crying, some people are just really shocked. The variety of responses you get with this is really neat," Caveman Chorus Quartet singer, Paul Maglinger, says.
This Quartet from the Caveman Chorus will sing for over 20 people by the end of the day, each giving them a different reaction.
"I'm very shocked very surprised, pleasantly surprised," Turner says.
For Deemer's and the Caveman Chorus, Valentine's Day may mean a long day, but they both agree, it's all about seeing a happy customer.
Deemer's says they plan to deliver hundreds of flowers well into the night.

Council hears comments on rallies

I'm not sure if "riffraff" Richard watched or attended any of the peaceful rallies, but when I watched there were plenty of people not wearing masks. Furthermore, if you passed a city code like the one he mentions, it would just incite more hatred towards the city officials. And isn't it ironic how he's against masks, however he won't use his last name, because he doesn't want his identity known. Maybe they should pass a code of not being able to speak at a council meeting without stating a last name.

With this hiring policy there are other factors to think about other than just test scores. How well a person performs on paper doesn't always equate to how well they will perform on the job. They've already stated the candidate they hired had on the job experience. Were they to pass him up because someone else scored higher on paper? Most employer hire the candidate that has experience.

I don't think it is fair to point the finger at Anonymous as a whole calling them "riffraff". If I was the victim of an injustice I would want someone to go to bat for my rights as a United States citizens. There are more than likely people within the community that are taking advantage of this situation for their own personal agendas but you can not label all because of a few. Looking at the big picture if Prosecutor Hanlin had failed to file rape and kidnapping charges then there would have been reason to question her motives but she did file felony charges against those two boys and why would she do that if she was trying to cover it up? I would think she wouldn't charge anyone or charge them with something small if she was trying to cover it up. I just highly doubt that there was this systematic process of corruption with the police, sheriff, and prosecutor's office to save two high school kids accused of rape.

If the first police candidate passed on the job, then the next highest qualified should have been selected, NOT #5...you prove the point Ms. Wiggins. Also, it is unfortunate that masked, anonymous independent investigators need to do the job that the City, coaches, parents, law enforcement, WTOV, Herald Star, etc FAILED to do. Plenty of blame to pass around.....Steubenville - you made your bed.....now you must lie in it, no matter how uncomfortable it may be.

Anonymous is not riffraff. They are concerned citizens who seek justice for the victim and punishment for everyone involved in the rape and coverup that followed. The constitution gives Americans the right to assemble peacefully for such events with or without masks. Again we see that another Steubenville citizen doesn't understand that rape is rape and coverup by elected officials and school officials is unacceptable.

"If we came up with a city code against wearing masks maybe we would get rid of the riffraff." Really? THAT is the riffraff we need to get rid of? What about the drug dealers, or those shooting up homes...and people!, or those who sexually assault..?? Isn't that the REAl riffraff we need to get rid of? And so the city needs to move forward and focus on "economic development"... How, exactly, do you expect that to happen when the city isn't safe...from it's OWN residents?!

I've been a Civil Service employee for years and even had a new position defined by the commission after a long battle---once the position was classified as a police records clerk adn a test administered for a list--in order to keep the position I fought for, my superiors cheered me on sayin', "make sure you make the list" point being, once you pass and on the list---they can pick who ever they want, and that's how Civil Service works.

I heard that the city hired a publicist, Mr. Mark R. Weaver, If .....this is true, where did "WE" get the money?

I am not sure anyone is questioning the integrity of the Commission. The test or its procedures are universal.
The actual choice of a candidate is done by a person selecting. It not like a bidding process of picking the lowest bidder, or even selcting someone with the highest scores.
Someone was picked over other possible candidates, and without knowing all the deatils or process that the Chief used, and I am not saying he had to, the possibility of the accusation could be true.
No one questioned his decision when he made it, right?

Can anything be done about our town being invaded by these people. Other states and cities have laws against wearing masks. If we came up with a city code against wearing masks maybe we would get rid of the riffraff. I was born here and I don't like what I am seeing and hearing about my town. I don't want to see my tax dollars spent on security for these rallies,"
The scandal has reduced everyone to name calling: "riffraff".
Real professional. I just think if everyone does their jobs "professionally" and does it in such a manner, there are no questions about ethics or quality of work; it would make us a better pace to live.
All the people on these blogs are wearing masks, per se; should we erase the Amendment that gives us that freedom? Our Constitution is NOT written in pencil like other foreign countries to change day to day depending on whether it gores our ox.
Are there any of those kind of people in the area(riffraff)?

Lawmakers are looking to the lottery for a source of revenue to shore up Kentucky's financially troubled pension system for government retirees.
State Rep. Brent Yonts, chairman of the House committee that oversees pensions, said the latest proposal would institute a 6 percent sales tax on lottery sales and implement new games, which could include Keno.
Yonts said the new tax could generate $49 million a year, and adding more games could generate more than $70 million. He said that would be enough to make the state's required pension contribution.
Several different pension proposals have been floated in recent weeks, including raising the state's cigarette tax to $1 a pack and expanding slot-like machines to all Kentucky horse racing tracks. Neither of those appeared to have enough support to pass.

WHEELING - U.S. Rep. David McKinley is asking members of Congress and those at the U.S. Environmental Protection agency which is worse - the outdoor air near a power plant or the air you breathe in your home.
McKinley, R-Wheeling, quoted EPA information acknowledging indoor air can be as much as 96 times more harmful to a person's health than outdoor air because items within an enclosed home can emit potentially dangerous gases, including formaldehyde, while cleaning products used indoors often contain ammonia.
McKinley said he will consider creating legislation that could require the labeling of home furnishings and items that emit harmful gases so people know they pose health hazards. That measure would come as he seeks to overturn environmental regulations affecting the coal industry and coal-fired power plants.
"We're going to try to craft something on indoor air quality to make sure the environmentalists having a field day with coal, oil and gas understand that's not all there is," he said. "There are other issues that could be contributing when we get sick ... I'm trying to deflect attention away from our manufacturers. Maybe they're not the ones causing the problem, but yet we're forcing them to do something beyond necessary."
He noted statistics indicate Americans spend 90 percent of their time indoors, and 60 percent of that time is within their own homes.
"I want to ask the EPA, how do you know when we get sick it's not from indoor air?" McKinley said. "Why are we continuing to attack our employers, our manufacturers, our coal-fired generating power houses and shutting them down when we're getting sick - maybe (from outdoor air). When I get sick and can't go to work, is it from formaldehyde exposure? I don't know.
"I don't want the EPA to come in my office or come in my home. I just want recognition that it's not because we're burning coal that we're getting sick. It could be indoor air quality. We're making ourselves sick ...."
McKinley said his engineering firm has been called into schools found to have high carbon monoxide levels inside. After investigating, it was discovered school officials had closed dampers on the furnace to cut heating costs, preventing a proper amount of outside air to enter the building.
The EPA suggests air in classrooms be replaced about two to four times per hour to promote better health, according to McKinley.
"Now Johnny is breathing the same air as Matilda, and Matilda is sneezing her head off all day long," he said. "And the air is being recirculated in that room. If they had fresh air, maybe Johnny wouldn't have an asthma attack."

When I export a JPEG from Lightroom 3.6, is the white-balance temperature and tint value written in the JPEG file somewhere? Could I later take that JPEG and see (in the EXIF for example) what the WB values I used in the developing process are?
When you export from Lightroom (via the dialog, rather than using a predefined preset), there is a section in the Export dialog called 'Metadata' which allows you to control the amount of detail contained within the metadata. If you set it to maximum (I use LR4 so can't tell you exactly what the options are in v3.6), then the white balance and tint will both be contained within the exported file's metadata.
If you open the JPEG file in Photoshop and view the raw metadata, you will come across the following section:
This contains the information you need.

A fire on 31W involving chemicals in Hart County closed the road for several hours.
No one was injured in the fire, but officials don't know the cause of it yet.
It was a barn fire on Highway 31W in Hart County, but officials say what was inside the burning barn was a big cause for concern.
Around 3:30 today, police had to evacuate about a half mile area near the fire, which was just north of Horse Cave in Hart County.
Police say there were five 55 gallon drums of acetone in the barn.
"The reason for the evacuation is the chemical burning, with acetone it can cause breathing problems. We're constantly checking the wind to see if the wind's changing, and it's basically just to keep everyone safe," said Kentucky State Police Trooper Jonathan Biven.
Police said they evacuated five homes and one business in the area.
"Everybody is understanding, and that really helps in these types of situations, that we can let these residents know what's going on. They're able to find shelter, and they're to go some place for the evening," said Biven.
The area fire departments on scene were instructed by state officials to let the fire burn down as much as possible on it's own.
The reasons include safety, and because it would take so much water to put out this type of chemical fire, it could pollute area water.
"We are in the cave area, and at this point we feel like we need to let it burn off. Large amounts of water gets into the cave system and contaminates, and of course we have that cave system here in Horse Cave," said Horse Cave Volunteer Fire Department Chief Donnie Parker.
So, for many hours it was a waiting game for emergency officials that kept 31W closed.
Officials say the road opened back up at 8:30, after the fire burned down enough to be put out around eight.
The stretch of Highway on 31W was closed for about five hours.

Anyone else having problems with the Fresh tab?
I've been getting weird results when refreshing the Fresh tab for several hours. Right now the newest (freshest ?) deal is six hours old and the newest question in ATC is four hours old. If I keep refreshing periodically, everything will go back to normal with the newest deal being only minutes old. Then, later on the newer deals will disappear again. Weird!
16 Answers answer
Update: Just a few minutes ago the Fresh Deals tab was 11 pages with nothing newer than 9 hours ago. Then it went back to normal with 15 pages. The only way I can see this question is to list all questions asked by me; it doesn't show up on the Fresh tab.
Yes! Same problem. Thought it was me the 1st few times. Also had a hard time even finding a deal I posted over 7 hours ago. MIA, then it was back. Then gone again. Back now.
Update for me. Couldn't find this question & my answer. Took repetetive clicks on Fresh & my comments.
Maybe paging staff for help? @inkykatz @jumbowoot. This way they MIGHT get ems. ;-)
I've tried Chrome with same results, normally use Firefox. Guess it's not browser specific.
I've had the same problem all afternoon. I was AWOL for a few hours this evening though, so not sure if it's fixed or not.
Just in case...
All told.
@jumbowoot: Boooooo
You deleted the question, and my answer. My heart is now broken.
@jumbowoot: ...um...the ATC post has been deleted per an appropriate tattle regarding promotional posts in the ATC.

...including me. :)
Happy Holidays to all!!
@shrdlu: Ok...perfect timing...
...I think I'll add a coupon to your account tomorrow...
...that was funny...

I was having the same problem earlier but now it all seems perfectly fine. I feel much better now!
@jumbowoot: Errrrmmm I threatened to tattle on that question, but did NOT. Did someone else really tattle? Too funny! ...in a warped sense of humor way. :-D
Feliz Navidad. And those other holiday words to you & yours.
@mtm2: ...apple polisher...:)
Happy Holidays!

@gmwhit: A threat of a tattle is worth two in the email...or something like that..

What does it mean to have a positional game, or to play a positional game? What is the opposite?

In a tactical game, you calculate on (material) profit. In a positional game you perform careful actions to improve your position, without expecting large profit in the beginning. In most cases a positional game ends in a situation with interesting tactical options.
The following are some (common sense) rules-of-thumb when playing a positional game:
Every position has both positional ("theory") aspects and tactical aspects.
Positional aspects would include the various imbalances in the position: pawn structure, space, center control, knights-vs-bishops, and pretty much anything else that would generally fall under the category "theory".
Tactical aspects are just what they sound like: tactics. I move here, he moves here, and in 4 moves I win his bishop.
A positional game is one that is primarily dominated by positional aspects. Of course, every game has aspects of both, but in positional games the theory is much more pronounced. I hear the term "positional game" especially often in conjunction with a closed center - a game in which pawns occupy the center, so attacks have to be mounted on the flanks (sides of the board), usually with pawns rather than pieces. These games tend to be slower and less intense; it is not uncommon for a player to spend half-a-dozen moves or more moving his knight to its optimal position before pushing a pawn one square. Because of this, many players consider positional/closed-center games boring.
"Positional game" may also refer to a game where an early endgame was reached, causing most of the game to be dominated by endgame theory.
Tactical games, on the other hand, are dominated by tactics. For example, see the Fried Liver Attack or the Danish Gambit, which always lead to very tactical games.
A positional game in chess is one where you try to control the territory on the board. Positional players develop pieces and go for king safety early, play for good pawn structure, and pay attention to how many squares their pieces control on the board.
The opposite of a positional game is a tactical game.
A positional game is one in which you try to go for a better position, specifically control of key squares, particularly close to the center, or in the vicinity of the enemy king. You often do this at the expense of other considerations in the game such as material.
Perhaps the best example is the queens gambit. White offers black a queen bishop pawn (and some tactical chances). If black accepts the pawn, white is likely to get a stronger center and the king side. A century ago, it was considered bad for black to give white these positional advantages, but modern, particularly Russian players, have demonstrated that the material and tactical chances compensate for white's better position.
Another example is when you exchange a bishop for a knight to "double" your opponent's pawns. Inflicting doubled pawns is a positional advantage, but some masters considered trading a bishop for a knight as "giving up the minor exchange" (on the theory that bishops were worth more than knights.)

The Boston Conservatory Presents HAIR, A Concert Musical
You are hereHome/ The Boston Conservatory Presents HAIR, A Concert Musical
BOSTON, MA (March 31, 2014)—The Boston Conservatory presents Hair, a concert musical, April 25–27, 2014. This Tony-award winning rock musical includes such hits as Aquarius, Good Morning Sunshine, I Believe in Love, Hair, I Got Life, What a Piece of Work is Man and Let the Sunshine In.
Written by James Rado and Gerome Ragni and composed by Galt MacDermon, Hair focuses on a group of friends in New York City in the 1960s struggling to balance their hippie culture and the more traditional society around them. At the center of the story is Claude, who must decide whether to join the Vietnam War, and therefore conform to society and his family's desires, or to hold on to his pacifist ways. When it originally opened on Broadway in 1968, many of its songs quickly became anthems of the anti-Vietnam War movement.
In The Boston Conservatory's performance, Act I is set at Woodstock and Act II returns to the city. "We've really decided to play up the concert musical aspect of this show," said Neil Donohoe, co-director of Hair and director of the theater division. "By starting the story at Woodstock and then returning to the city, it allows the audience to really watch the characters struggle with returning to that reality and deal with the repercussions of the choices they made in Act I."
The Boston Conservatory's production of Hair is unique, as the majority of the artistic choices come directly from the students in the cast. "We're encouraging students to contribute and engage in the creative process, rather than imposing our own choices or ideas," said Christopher Webb, Conservatory faculty member and co-director along with Donohoe. "The process is very different than what many of our students are used to, but it really gives them the chance to add a current perspective to a show that still resonates today, despite its creation more than 45 years ago. Anyone in the audience is going to be in for an experience full of love, peace and one heck of a trip."
Hair will be performed at 8 p.m. Friday, April 25 and Saturday, April 26, along with 2 p.m. matinees on Saturday, April 26 and Sunday, April 27. This performance of Hair is for mature audiences only, due to nudity. All performances will be at The Boston Conservatory Theater at 31 Hemenway Street.

When I take turns, my rear wheel is sliding to the outside of the turn. I'm riding a 2012 Norco Heart, brand new stock tires, single-speed. I'm not carrying much weight, or taking turns too tightly. Any ideas?
Sign up

Try adjusting the tire pressure you may be to high or to low. If it is low the sidewall can squirm inturns making handling inconsistant, too high and the tire can be so hard it bounces off the surface when hitting any imperfection.
You may want to check that the rear wheel isn't coming loose on the axle. If the nuts that hold the bearings in have come a bit loose, the wheel might slip a little in the corners. If they are very loose, the wheel will wobble even when you're riding in a straight line.
Your body position may be an issue. When the terrein is loose, you need more weight on top of the bike. So as you lean and carve into the corner, you may need to lean the bike, and your body at different angles. Essentially leaning your body less, and shifting weight to still provide downward pressure vs all lateral pressure relying too much on grip and inertia.
And tire pressure for the right terrain is key. If its loose, 32psi and above will break loose faster than say 28psi. If you have to go by feel, you need it to press in a bit if you squeezed it with your thumb, or if you are on it, guess 20% compression squish would be a best guess for your weight.
