Grand Jury issues first indictment
October 7, 2013
STEUBENVILLE, Ohio—Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine today announced that the first indictment has been issued in the special grand jury reviewing whether additional crimes were committed regarding......
Anyone who enabled and covered up this crime will hopefully be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. It only makes these sex crimes continue if others help to protect the perpetrators and their images.
The brave young victim and her family are to be commended to taking action by contacting law enforcement. No child ever deserves to be dealt this life sentence. Let's hope that anyone who has knowledge about this case will come forward and help the police get the criminals in jail. Silence is not an options anymore, it only hurts, and by speaking up there is a chance for healing, exposing the truth, and therefore protecting others.

I can not figure out how I directly can read a polygon into gdawarp's
-cutline argument.
My current approach is:
ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" mydata.shp PG:"user=myuser dbname=gisdb" -sql "select * from polys where id='12345'"
and then I run
gdalwarp -cutline mydata.shp in.tif out.tif
How could I skip the step with the shapefile?
Thanks in advance for any hints

If you can put a link from few websites with similar niche and high PageRank then you will get you're desired PageRank. You can either do these through link exchange or link buying. But beware of link buying because if your link is put on pages that are determined link farm then for sure Google will disregard the vote from that site and you won't get any PageRank boost on your site. So be wise in buying link and exchanging links as well.

Yep I went light armour route and now have 100 archery, 100 enchanting, 100 smithing and I'm getting the others up, alchemy is so slow though..
Yep I went light armour route and now have 100 archery, 100 enchanting, 100 smithing and I'm getting the others up, alchemy is so slow though..
I never bothered with alchemy, there might be potions you can make that are a bit better than ones you can buy but for me it is not a skill I am interested in having. I have 100 sneaking and use heavy armour with the steed stone active the armour has no weight penalty so is the same as light armour.
Ok, finally taken the plunge and got this game, can someone direct me to some really good graphics and logo and all of that packs? Something like a megapack? And can someone pm me for how to do the national teams (germany japan etc)?
Would be greatly thanked, wanna try and set up a thread tonight.
The Metallic Logo pack still exists I suggest that
Skyrim is 50% off on GMG again - http://www.greenmangaming.co.uk/promo/skyrim/
Just in case anyone is interested.
It went very quickly last time so worth doing as soon as possible if you want it!
That's a ridiculous deal! Will be sending that to my non-Skyrim owning friends.
That's the same deal I got last week. I don't regret it as I'm having a ton of fun with this game.
I feel like I've barely scratched the surface despite playing most days since I bought it.
It was 33% off or something on Steam when I got it so it was a little more expensive. Definitely don't regret it either, my third most played game on Steam after FM11 and FM12 already!
Just had a great evocative line of commentary:
"Júnior strokes a pass out right to find the run of Nadal"
I just bought a vibrating gaming beanbag for my Skyrim sessions...
Haha that sounds fantastic! Is it like a force-feedback chair then?
They need to work on their branding - "X-Rocker Adult Beanbag" evokes an entirely different image in my mind!
Looks like the GMG offer has already ended.
vibrating bean bag, you just like to sit on a vibrating pad......................
Ha, some pranny has just handcuffed himself to the goal post in the Everton/Man City match
That's a new one on me
Wasn't Balotelli was it?
Someone said Balotelli drove to four different grounds today to give a false impression that he was signing..
Can I bloat about being right about Scholes yet?
I'd like to convert my FMCU career thread into a Wordpress blog in my website, but really don't want to be copying post-by-post, formatting the text again, uploading each image, re-making each link. Anyone knows whether there's any automatic tool to do this?
Not as far as I know as BBCode isn't a language so every forum has slightly different formatting. Unless SI allow the use of HTML it won't be easy.
Well thanks, because I had googled a few things but variations including "BBCode" didn't occur to me. So I found this, which seems to work for individual posts: http://www.bbcode-to-html.com/
It's not perfect for what I want, but at least fixes the issue of having to re-format the whole text again. What would be really really great was a tool to move images from photobucket into my wordpress instalation and substitute all the links. I doubt that exists.

You could write a script to do it but for the time it'd take you to write a script you might as well just C&P all the posts through that converter.
I'm gutted about losing Morrison though. If he gets his screwed up head in order and gets it down and works hard he is going to be an absolutely amazing player. This buy will potentially make West Ham a lot of money. No way is he staying there for long if he performs well and finally starts working hard. Moving to East London isn't risk-free, to put it mildly, but he probably needed to get away from his bad influences in Manchester. I wish him the best of luck, and apparently United have first option on him so he may return one day (doubt it though).
Sorry if I maybe overstate his potential, but I've been following him now for 2-3 years in the youth and reserve team, and he has always looked a level above the rest (and the rest isn't crap). Heck, even in his few League Cup games he did stuff like flicks and attempted 1-2s the more senior players didn't foresee. He is going to be big. Just hope he starts acting professionally so he can reach his potential, not ending up a bit-time player with a jail sentence or something like that.
This was brave, very brave:
Any idea why my thread has appeared on that website, found out via twitter a few minutes a go.
Looks like it's because you tweeted it with the FM12 hashtag.
Thought so, I find it slightly strange that people go round taking stories like that. Wonder how common it is.
It's automated. I made something similar for a client in the summer.
We found a load of old threads from the LLM forum on some wonky site a while back. But it was actually great because they were lost to forum upgrades and purges.
PeerBlock warns me about that place you linked btw. Probably nothing, mind.
*Disclaimer* This link does include a swear word, I accept no responsibility for damaging your linguistic skills or eye sight.
I just designed this and a **** take of Abercrombie and Fitch
If I do decided to put something like that up for sale it would be about £10-£12, just as a market test would anyone buy one?

I have a t-shirt on the market too! Currently I've sold 4, which is 4 more than I ever thought.
I designed it you had the concept but same thing
If anyone wanted to go to Wembley for the NFL game in October, the tickets go on sale in 5 mins.
Not bad Deisler
We are coming up with some crackers..
How the hell do you get good quality pictures? I can't remember, I've been print screening then putting them into photobucket but they are way to small..
Photobucket resizes them to 1024 high or so. Therefore I make my screenshots that size
Doesn't do it for me for some weird reason...
I suppose while we're on the topic of clothing I'll stick my shameless plug in ...
A British product made and designed in Britain. Come and join the crusade!
One for you Skyrim players:
Choose the "Best possible quality (while staying under 1mb or less" option.
If everybody did this I think it would be easier to see a lot of the pictures in the various threads. Some are so small it's practically impossible to see attributes in player profiles, and even seeing the clubname in league tables is pretty hard (also due to the font colour used in FM12).
Like I've said before it's usually a good idea to take the screenshots while the screen is in its smallest size, ensuring better detail in the final pictures, particularly for pictures that will be used in-forum (because the forum automatically resizes them to 800 pixels width). But if Photobucket auto-resize everything to, say, 1024x800 it makes it pretty hard to see any of the necessary details in the pictures.
I'm on a smaller resolution which should actually make it easier to see the details in 1024 resolution pictures, but the text is so small I often just give up. It must be even worse on big resolution screens. Sad to say it, but I have basically given up trying to click on links in some threads because I can't make out the details in them anyway without putting my head through the laptop screen
I use a 1920x1080 display as standard and use half screen mode to take mine, I think they come out at a reasonable quality (or I hope they do)
I've started taking screenshots in windowed mode, and I think it makes them a lot more readable. I haven't changed anything with the upload options on Photobucket yet so I may have to have a play with those as well to improve them further. I think I may have to get a premium Photobucket account at some point, I've already filled up one free account and this one is getting there. Might just have to bite the bullet rather than opening a third!
Watching Thunderbirds and playing FM, could anything be better? Aside from my results on FM.
Snake all photobucket accounts now have unlimited space
Aye, that's what I thought too. But they have limits on bandwidth I think. At least they did last time I checked (which is some time ago tbh).
What does everyone think about the creating of a thread were the community can post their most memorable matches? Something containing, for example, a record breaking victory, a crucial six-pointer or your most humiliating defeat.
We could put a few stipulations in, such as no meaningless friendlies, only one match per career per season etc, and the poster could upload a screenshot of the match overview and/or a highlights package. Maybe when it comes to 'FMCU Awards', we could then vote for the most exciting match, most humbling defeat etc.
If there's much interest, I'll get the thread set up
I don't know if I could cope with the shame of some of me defeats but sure Only way to find if it works is to try it!
I have often thought we should have a records thread just for people posting their career as well as a Hall of Shame for the worst records.
Think both ideas are good (matches and records). I certainly have some humiliating defeats in Europe in mind after being ahead after the first leg
I think my Spartak Moscow sides collapse in the Champions League would be up there for "most humiliating defeat"(well...the 2nd leg would).
As for the term "join the crusade" used in a positive context. It's used that way to encorage people to join the crusade in bringing the textile industry back to the UK and saying no to cheap labour abroad, not in reference to Richard the Lionhearts actual crusade, which I did know was "rather bad"
Yep, I know about sweatshops with basically slave labour. It's a lot of crap. Textile industry is more or less gone here too. Easy technology requires little knowledge, so they move it to low-cost countries with (virtually) non-existent workers' rights. I just don't like nationalist lingo, that's all, and especially "army waging war on the other side of the planet are heroes" crap. Just a selling point I suppose, but there you go
In general I think it would be good with more threads here that aren't specially stories/updates. More discussion threads and such wouldn't go amiss.
Seeming as the general consensus is positive, I'll get the new thread up and running at some point over the weekend.
Maybe call it 'Magic Moments'*, or something like that, then people can post about both their record-breaking results as well as other important events/matches.
*open to better suggestions on the name front!
I think we should have separate threads one for records and one for important and exciting matches.
Ok, we'll go for two threads then. One to post records, like a Hall of Fame with best/worst results etc, the other for special matches and other momentous events.
Minerim or Skycraft anyone?

I'd like to see two of those types of threads. Then you could have comments and/or images with best results, embarrassing results, terrible occurrences in your save or momentous stuff and so on.
I know I've mentioned it before, but I'm all in favour of more communal threads in here
A rant thread. Now that would be excellent!
Rant threads are nice. Plus this community is sufficiently mature enough to rant on about something and not be taken seriously.
I bloody love a good rant
All great ideas, although ranting isn't for me!
I would have ranted about my crash dump but I won a game I previously lost
I've created two new threads so far.
This one for ranting in- http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/297464-The-FMCU-Venting-Your-Spleen-Thread
A nd this one as the Hall of Fame- http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/297468-FMCU-s-Hall-of-Fame-(and-Shame!)
I may still create another one, for special/iconic events, but will see how we get on with these two first. Any comments/feedback welcome
Anybody order off Amazon?
They're doing a free months trial for that Amazon Prime, basically you get Express Delivery for free. Just ordered a HD PVR and they expect me to get it Monday (1 working day). Obviously you have to turn auto-renewal off because it's £49 for the year but seems like a good trial. Just thought I'd let you know.
What is Amazon Prime? Is this for UK only?
Rarely use Amazon, much prefer BookDepository when ordering books, but I've noticed that Free Delivery and such only applies to UK addresses.
Almost joined Amazon Prime because you also get unlimited, one-at-a-time Kindle rentals (books, not the Kindle itself). So, if that were true, it would be a no-brainer for me. BUT, the range of books you can rent via your Prime membership is really small--a few thousand titles, with some rotation over time.
But it is an added benefit if you're wavering on it.
It will never be worth the £49 in my eyes. You generally get it within a week so paying £49 to get it the next day is a bit im-patient but each to their own.
I'll enjoy the free trial and probably get some games I've considered getting in the past to make the most of it but I wont be paying £49 a year for it.
Pangaea - I'm not to sure if it's for UK only, I think you can use it elsewhere but it's not a guaranteed day delivery.
On the Kindle, I can't see how they are 'enjoyable' as such, I personally prefer to hold a book, I can see if you read books quickly then obviously it's a great idea but I don't think I'd enjoy a kindle, personally.
Ok I work on the other side of this. Everything sent out by Amazon itself is sent on a 24 hour delivery, nothing can be sped up on the delivery front. The only thing that can be sped up is the dispatch and that doesn't happen very often.
It isn't worth it unless you are a business.
I definitely would not like to read a book off an iPad/laptop though, it'd be like staring at a lightbulb with a book printed on it for hours. The e-ink display really makes an almighty difference, it's like reading from a printed page.
I read books off my iPhone, simply as having an actual book is impractical.
There's a certain sensory experience with a proper book though.
I prefer a proper book, doubt I would ever read something from a kindle or any other device like that.
Oh God. I've just discovered enchanting weapons on Skyrim... Goodnight 2012.
iBooks? Made by Apple
Of those people saying they wouldn't read a book on a Kindle, who actually has done out of interest? Honestly, when you're engrossed in a great story the precise nature of the medium just does not even come into the equation.
Anyone watching the Super Bowl?

The Burning of Flashy Trashy
In 1990, I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. I chose to maximize my chances for remaining disease free by participating in an experimental protocol. Every day for eight weeks, I got in this cast to be zapped by five different views of radiation, my body like an air force target, permanently marked for radiation by tattoos. I experienced significant memory loss and a short attention span. To help rebuild my memory and attention span, I willed myself to spend an hour a day working on this piece.
No one can experience what I have and remain unchanged. It is very frightening to wake up and to discover a new person in a radically changed body that can never be trusted. Art has given my soul the chance to regenerate and reconnect to the person I have become.
The Flame Within X, XI, XII
I believe there is an internal flame that burns within each of us, kind of like a personal pilot light. There are times throughout our lives when that flame burns brighter or higher or with a special intensity. Throughout my five-and-a-half-year odyssey through the cancer experience, I have felt my own flame dwindle to a few embers only to be rekindled to a roaring fire. It has been through my artistic endeavors to document my experiences that my flame has been revived and nourished. I believe my art has contributed significantly to my recovery from metastatic breast cancer and to keeping me disease free despite overwhelming odds.

Funding Organization: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
Funding Number: DE-FOA-0000836
The lack of logistics systems capable of handling and delivering sufficiently high tonnage year-round volumes of high quality feedstocks to support the rapid escalation of cellulosic biofuels production has been identified as a significant barrier to the expansion of a sustainable domestic biofuels industry. In particular, biomass physical and chemical quality parameters have repeatedly been identified as significant challenges to the smooth operation and economic viability of biorefineries. This FOA will focus on developing and demonstrating strategies, equipment, and rapid analytical methods to manage feedstock quality within economic constraints throughout the feedstock supply chain. The main effort in Proposals must be directed toward full-scale demonstration of integrated feedstock supply chain systems that can deliver the volume of high quality, affordable, high impact feedstocks required by commercial biorefineries over a significant geographic area in the United States. DOE plans to support the increased production of high volumes of sustainably produced domestic biofuels from cellulosic feedstocks by seeking Proposals to design new systems or adapt existing systems to handle industrial scale volumes of cellulosic feedstocks from the harvest point to the throat of the biorefinery reactor.

Nearly half of the Lone Star State's 663 million metric tons of CO2 emissions came from petroleum fuels in 2010, according to a Energy Information Administration report. Coal and natural gas use and operations in the state contributed roughly a quarter each of the rest.
By CASSANDRA SWEET
Texas led US states in carbon dioxide emissions from energy, followed by
California and Pennsylvania, according to the latest data.
Nearly half of the Lone Star State's 663 million metric tons
of CO2 emissions came from petroleum fuels
in 2010, according to a Energy Information Administration
report. Coal and natural gas use and operations in the state
contributed roughly a quarter each of the rest.
California produced about 370 million metric tons of CO2 in
2010, about two-thirds of it from petroleum fuels and about a
third from natural gas, according to the report released last
Nearly half of Pennsylvania's 257 million metric tons of CO2
came from coal, while about a third came from petroleum fuels
and about a fifth came from natural gas.
The daily average concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
reached 400 parts per million for the first time, at a
benchmark US monitoring site in Hawaii, scientists at the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said
Climate scientists said the data were a sign that manmade
greenhouse gases were growing, rather than declining, which
they predicted could boost global warming and lead to more
frequent extreme-weather events, such as droughts, wildfires,
floods and rising sea levels.
CO2 emissions from energy dropped in most US states between
2000 and 2010, although emissions rose in Nebraska, Iowa,
Colorado, Arizona and other states, according to the EIA.

The amount of CO2 emissions to the atmosphere is bigger and it is considered the main agent of green house effect and also contribute to climate change. But it must be taken into consideration the sulfur content in fossil fuels because they produce SO2 and NOx together. Therefore the hyper oxidation of SO2 to SO3 and also its hydrolization action by atmospheric H2O to form H2SO4. Compound that falls out in acid rain effect. Such H2SO4 produced from atmosphere SO2 also has an exothermic performance which produces 500Kj/Kg of H2SO4 formed in the atmosphere. Then if we consider the critic mass of sulfur content in fossil fuels that has been consumed also contributes in a high grade to global increased temperature effect actually.Around the world we have to check out such exothermic behavior of SO2 hyper oxidation and SO3 Hydrolization effect which also contributes to climate change indeed.
Norm, I don't think we will ever have the problem of not enough CO2 given the stats above. It's the rising sea level, fresh water and O2 that is more of a concern.
Bill Arnold
And to put that in context, the average carbon carbon dioxide emission rate for the entire world is 4.86 tons per capita per year. Texas produces 25.4 tons per capita per year, more than five times the world average. California produces 9.7 tons per capita per year, two times the world average. Put another way, Texas and California together have 0.9% of the world's population but emit 2.9% of the worlds carbon dioxide. Figures for China are 18.5% of the world's population and 27.5% of the world's carbon dioxide emissions, but still only 1.3 times the world average on a per capita basis.
Do you realize we all would die without adequate CO2 ?

High Dose Radiation: People Make it Work
New technology targets cancer with high-dose radiation. Radiation therapists humanize the experience.
When Kerry A. Tillson started in radiation oncology more than 30 years ago, she monitored patients on a screen that looked like a TV set and used thumbwheels to set the dose on a single small machine. Today, the assistant chief therapist in Radiation Oncology at NCCC uses the newest technology in radiation oncology, with computerized measuring systems, multiple monitor screens, and a Truebeam linear accelerator that moves around a patient to deliver targeted high dose radiation treatment.
New linear accelerator targets cancer with high dose radiation while protecting healthy tissue
Last fall Tillson and another therapist traveled to Las Vegas for intensive training on the Varian Truebeam linear accelerator, the newest machine in NCCC's Radiation Oncology department. Since their return they have been training the other 22 radiation therapists who work in teams to treat patients at the Lebanon and St. Johnsbury sites.
Craig B. Hansen, chief radiation therapist in Radiation Oncology, says the new Truebeam machine delivers high doses of radiation to tumors while minimizing the dose to surrounding tissue. This makes treatment more efficient and effective, and can shorten the time a patient spends on the table.
"The Truebeam has superior imaging and monitoring systems that make it easier to guide the patient through treatment," he said. "Another feature allows us to fine-tune the positioning of the table holding the patient, so we can get an accurate angle and view of tumors that might move inside the body, as in prostate cancer"
But Hansen quickly adds that the machine is only part of the treatment process, and he is especially proud of his dedicated team of radiation therapists. "You can have all the technology in the world—it's the staff that makes the difference."
The best radiation therapists: skilled technicians who connect with people
Tillson agrees. Most patients receive from 10 to 44 treatments, often 5 days a week, and the radiation therapists build relationships with their patients. "You get to know them, their family, find out what their grandkids did on weekend," she said. "The best radiation therapists are good technologists but also good at connecting with people."
Radiation therapists humanize the technology and the experience
David Evancich, one of first patients at NCCC to receive Truebeam treatment for cancer of the esophagus, says receiving the Truebeam treatment can feel very high-tech and surreal—a little like walking onto a starship (hear him describe his experience on this video). He appreciates that the radiation therapists are friendly and funny as they carefully position him onto green laser-beamed gridlines and then monitor the process on several computer screens. He says their care helps to humanize the technology and the experience.
"You have to believe in the team and the technology"
For Evancich, even the latest technology is only as good as the people who are recommending and administering: it always comes down to believing in the people behind the machines.
"The big decision every patient has to make is to decide you have confidence in the physicians, the clinicians, and the techs. Do they know what they are doing?" he said. "Treatment will not always go smoothly, and there will be days when you are uncomfortable and cranky and frustrated. To go forth with vigor you have to believe in the team and the technology."

Loop with 3.5mm plug?
Today, I noticed that some styli, like http://www.amazon.com/elago-Mini-Stylus-iPhone4-Touch/dp/tech-data/B003Z8S3Y4/ and http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BUI76S/ref=pd_luc_sim_01_03, have what appear to be strings connecting a plug for a 3.5mm jack.
Is there a common term for this? Is an item available with just the plug and string (with or without a split ring)?
My Blackberry Storm and at least one PDA have 3.5mm headphone jacks but no convenient string loops, it'd be handy to attach something.
2 Answers answer
I'd avoid that design. The stress of it looks like a good way to break the jack. Couldn't you just get a protective case for your devices? If they don't have a loop you could just poke two small holes in it and you're good to go. Then the stress will only risk a disposable case rather than the device itself.
Just to answer my question...

The standard of care in the United States for muscle-invasive bladder cancer has traditionally been radical cystectomy. Radiation therapy as a single modality for bladder sparing treatment yielded results that were generally inferior to those achieved by surgery, and has largely been abandoned as a monotherapy approach. Combined modality therapy, using a combination of trans-urethral resection of the bladder tumor (TURBT), radiation, and chemotherapy has been shown to provide superior results to radiation alone. The Massachusetts General Hospital has been a leading institution in bladder preservation with combined modality therapy. This report provides long-term follow-up for 190 patients treated on 5 different tri-modality protocols at this single institution.
The overall 5- and 10- year survivals for this group of patients are comparable to both those achieved in other tri-modality, bladder conserving series as well as those reported in prospective cystectomy series for patients of comparable stage disease. Patients who did experience a bladder recurrence were effectively salvaged with cystectomy. The authors conclude that a bladder-sparing approach with trimodality therapy, close follow-up and prompt cystectomy for salvage is a safe and effective alternative to cystectomy.

At the University of California at Davis this afternoon [November 18], police tore down down the tents of students inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement, and arrested those who stood in their way. Others peacefully demanded that police release the arrested.

2. Racism And Meritocracy
Unless you've been living under a rock, you can't have missed the recent dust-up over race and Silicon Valley. Like almost every discussion of diversity and meritocracy in this town, it turned ugly fast. One side says: "All I see is white men. Therefore, people like Michael Arrington must be racist." The other responds, "Silicon Valley is a colorblind meritocracy. If there were qualified women or minority candidates, we'd welcome them." Read More

4. How Facebook is ruining sharing
I'm afraid to click any links on Facebook these days. No, it's got nothing to do with the spam attack and the flood of nasty images making their way into news feeds all last week. Instead, it's because the slow spread of Facebook's Open Graph scheme is totally ruining sharing. Read More

Resale Shopping Rules for Families
Outfitting kids for school can be costly. With prices on the rise on everything from gasoline to cereal, we're all looking for ways to make our dollar go further. Buying back-to-school fashions at resale shops can help. Here are six reasons to give it a shot.
1. Resale shops are choosy
Unlike non-profit thrift stores that take whatever people donate and use the proceeds for charities, resale shops are selective. They pay sellers for their gently-used clothing and turn a profit selling those clothes to customers. And resalers carefully pick merchandise based on quality and the likelihood they can resell it, says Susan Baustian, director of Once Upon a Child resale stores, which includes eight shops in Michigan and 220 in the country.
There are two business models for resale shops. The first, and more popular in the greater Detroit area, is cash payment: Individual sellers are paid on-the-spot for the items they bring in. Consignment shops, on the other hand, don't buy items right away, but instead display them for a certain amount of time. If the item sells, the original seller typically receives 40 to 60 percent of the asking price, and the store pockets the rest. If it doesn't, the price is reduced – and if it still stays on the rack, it's returned to the original seller.
2. You can get brand names for a bargain
Abercrombie & Fitch. Limited Too. Hollister. You'll find all these brands at your area resale shop. Like any retailer, resale stores need to move merchandise to make a profit. Storeowners look for the brands they know your child is hunting for when selecting merchandise.
For younger children, you'll find popular brands, like Gymboree and OshKosh B'Gosh, share the shelves with other brands like Target's Circo and Kohl's Sonoma. "But we don't focus on brand as much as we do quality," Baustian says. So expect to find a wide range of brands, but all in near-perfect condition and at great prices.
3. Resale shops have the latest fashions
Think you're only going to find velour shirts from the '80s and ratty '90s flannel? No way. Resale stores stock many of the same styles as retailers. "We're looking for current styles," Baustian says. "So clothes from the past year or two" will find their way onto resale racks.
Elyssa Mount, co-owner of Ann Arbor's Grow With Me, agrees. Her shop prides itself on its boutique feel and up-to-date fashions. In fact, Mount frequently purchases merchandise with the tags still attached from sellers that never got around to using them. "I'd say about one-fifth of our clothing has original tags on them and have never been worn."
4. Resale shops carry a range of sizes
You'll find plenty of baby clothing, cribs, toys and furniture at resale shops, but clothing sizes don't stop once a child's ready for school. Once Upon a Child carries sizes for girls up to 16 and for boys up to 18. Grow With Me has similar sizing.
So don't be put off by the cribs and strollers on display at the front of many resale shops. You'll also find sizes for older elementary school-aged kids and middle schoolers. That said, some stores, like Baby-to-Baby in Walled Lake, do cater to younger children.
5. Resale shops are thriving
While other retailers have been closing their doors lately, resale shops are opening more, offering an even greater variety to the cost-conscious consumer. According to the National Association of Resale & Thrift Shops (NARTS), resale shops are "one of the fastest growing segments of retail," making it a multi-billion-dollar-a-year industry.
The soft economy has only strengthened sales. "The resale industry is one of the few recession-proof segments," explains Adele R. Meyer, executive director of the NARTS headquartered in St. Clair Shores.
6. Resale shops are for everyone
"There's no typical resale shopper," reports NARTS. Instead, resale shoppers come from every socioeconomic background. That said, Baustian notes that her stores, "primarily target moms ages 25 to 45."
Perhaps the one common thread among shoppers is the search for a good bargain. Gap onesies for $.99, nearly new Limited Too jeans for $3.99 – these are the kind of deals shoppers at resale stores go for. In fact, Once Upon a Child's Brag Book is dedicated to sharing your best finds.

I am planning on creating a table made out of recycled wood planks and I am wondering if it is too ambitious to hand sand the wood planks without the use of machinery. I am on a budget and am wondering what types of tools would be best to hand sand wood?
Hand-plane before you sand. A good sharp plane and good technique produces a very nice finish. Only light sanding required after that.
Don't plane after sanding, the leftover grit will dull your blade.
Other than that, it's about elbow grease.

I am finding some nontrivial examples of surjective holomorphic selfmap of compact Kähler manifold of $\operatorname{dim} \geq 3$. That is, find $X$ a compact Kähler manifold of $\operatorname{dim} X \geq 3$, $f:X\to X$ a surjective holomorphic selfmap so that:
- $X$ is not a projective space.
- $f$ is not a submersion (or étale?)
- $f$ has positive entropy.
- $f$ is not a product map.
References or nonexistence results are also welcome.
Thank you very much.

In the AD&D 1st edition monster Manual, every monster's speed is represented in inches. Obviously, a big monster cannot just move 6 inches per turn, so what does the " mean?

In AD&D 1st edition inches of movement represents three things.
6" = 60 feet per turn exploring a dungeon. This allows for the normal checks for surprise, mapping, detection of secret door, etc.
6" = 60 yards per round moving through passageways. Basically if the person or party is in a interior location that they know they move at this rate.
6" = 60 yards per round moving outdoors like in a city.
6" = 6 miles per half-day treking.
This is all found on page 102 of the AD&D players handbook.
And to be complete for range (both spells and missile weapons) there is the following.
1" of range = 10 feet indoors 1" of range = 10 yards outdoors
This represents the ability to lob missiles in an arc outside as opposed to a flat trajectory indoors.

Waterbury Paul Anka's show at Palace Theater was extraordinary
Congratulations to the Palace Theater in Waterbury. On Dec. 8, it offered another outstanding show. Paul Anka: Christmas My Way far exceeded expectations. Mr. Anka opened with vintage film footage and made his way to the stage down the center aisle. He brought along a 12-piece orchestra; told stories; sang a duet with film footage of Sammy Davis Jr. and another with Michael Bublé; played piano and guitar; danced with a fan; and sang the songs the crowd came to hear and a few Christmas standards.
Mr. Anka walked the aisles and had audience members on their feet, clapping their hands and singing along. It's no wonder he had several standing ovations. The show was supposed to run one hour, 45 minutes; he gave us an additional 40 minutes and promised he'd return!

When several said goodbye to Brandon Bradshaw yesterday, some were on the stage doing exactly what Bradshaw taught them.
Bowling Green High School presented "Godspell" at the Capitol Arts Theater this weekend.
Godspell was a performance Bradshaw was supposed to attend.
"He would have been at all of my performances," says Allison Woodward, who called Bradshaw a friend.
Instead, as he was laid to rest, some who were influenced by Bradshaw were on stage performing and remembering what they learned from him.
"He's like a mentor to me and he got me interested in doing all of these shows all the time. If I didn't know Brandon, I wouldn't have cared so much," Woodward says.
"You have to get up there and you have to be confident, and he made that known," says Sarah Cohron, who was introduced to theater through Bradshaw.
Godspell was the first youth performance at the Capitol Arts Theater since Bradshaw directed "Little Women" last year.
While the teens prepared their heads to go on stage yesterday, their hearts were in a different place.
"I just felt like Brandon was one of the people who influenced me most when I was acting. So I just decided this one's for Brandon," Woodward says.
Bradshaw's death has brought the theater community together during hard times, and for kids who called him a mentor, he will always be remembered as they go on stage.
"I just hear his voice all the time, and it's comforting," Woodward says.
"I know so many of us in this cast have done musical work with Brandon and he helped set the foundation," Cohron says.
But, many are left in disbelief.
"I was just like he's going to be fine. I mean things like that happen and then he wasn't. It's kind of surreal. I'm not sure if its even hit me yet," Cohron says.
None of the students in Godspell were able to attend Bradshaw's Celebration of Life on Thursday since they were at dress rehearsal, but say this is what he would have wanted.

Just like the legs of the giraffe, our interests stretch a long way. Personally, I've been involved with computers since the early 70's. The first computer that I ever worked on, as a trainee computer operator, was an ICT 1301. The Milk Marketing board here in the UK had 2 of these beasts in a room the size of a football field. You could get inside the cabinets holding the memory and controllers. Here is an extract of the Wikipedia entry for the ICT1301
"A typical 1301 requires 700 square feet (65 square metres) of floor space and weighs about 5 tons. It consumes about 13kVA of three-phase electric power. The electronics consist of over 4,000 printed circuit boards each with many Germanium diodes (mainly OA5), Germanium transistors (mainly Mullard GET872), resistors, capacitors and inductors. It contains no integrated circuits, though it does have a handful of thermionic valves and a few dozen relays which work only at human speed when buttons are pressed."
It had a "drum" as a fast access device which lived alone in a massive cabinet. The drum could record 12,000 words of data. It also had 400 words of 'reserved' storage where the computer's bootstrap program (called Initial Orders) was stored.. All programs were input from punched cards and data was stored on mag tape….no removable high speed storage devices in those days.
That console had so many lights and switches that they've been used in a number of TV shows including Doctor Who and Blakes 7, as well as a couple of James Bond movies.
One great day ICL wheeled in a shiny new 1904A computer. State of the art, it had an operating system (George II) and removable disk drives (EDS 30's) . These removable disk cartridges each held 30.8 mb of data and cost many thousands of pounds
The cabinets of the mainframe were just as big, but there was more inside them now.
It's hard to believe that today's desktop PC is 25 million times faster, and has 64 million times as much store as these early goliaths.
I feel so very lucky to have been born at a time of no world wars and everything connected with technology has developed at such an amazing pace.

Explaining death to a child should be done with care so that the child is not confused or unnecessarily frightened. A young child may not be able to understand the difference between "gone to heaven" and "gone out of town"-the child may be waiting for the person to return. A family's religious faith can be a great source of strength, but it should be related to a child in a way that he or she can understand. Some religious concepts (for instance, the Christian concept of resurrection) may too abstract to comfort a young child. Likewise, care should be taken when comparing death to familiar events in life. Comparing death to sleep, for instance, can cause a child to fear going to sleep.
Children need honesty about what has happened to help them understand and accept the reality of death. A parent or other caregiver needs to explain what happened to the person who died in a way that the child can understand. It is not necessary to give all the details, and the age and maturity of the child need to be considered. A death due to violence may be especially difficult to explain. A child may hear comments about the death from others and have questions about what really happened. Honesty helps a child understand that it's okay to talk about what happened and helps a child to cope with death. Dealing with what we know can be much easier then dealing with what we don't know.

A last-minute judge's ruling has saved Lifetime's Saturday evening plans.
You see, the network had previously announced that it intended to air Romeo Killer: The Christopher Porco Story that evening. Crisis arrived on Tuesday when a New York judge issued an injunction to stop it from airing. Lifetime filed an emergency appeal, saying that the judge's decision was "unprecedented" and would cost the network millions of dollars (millions of dollars), as well as harm its brand and threaten the First Amendment itself. Whoa.
Well, the appeal was heard and approved by New York Supreme Court's appellate division. They issued a stay on the injunction and said that it would remain in place unless Porco could show cause as to why the order should not be lifted.
The film (which stars Matt Barr) is based on Porco's, a convicted murder, story. Porco had argued that the film would violate his rights to his name and image.
Lifetime is enjoying the little bit of media attention and has now decided to promote the film as the "Lifetime Original Movie Chris Porco doesn't want you to see." Nice.
The network says that, "The two-hour film is inspired by the true story of a handsome young college student who became the prime suspect in the shocking murder of his father."

After a draining campaign season, Kentucky voters are heading to the polls to make their selections for president, congressmen, state lawmakers and more.
Kentucky now has more than three million registered voters and more than 60 percent of them are expected to cast ballots.
Voter interest is high despite the fact that neither Democratic President Barack Obama nor Republican Mitt Romney campaigned in Kentucky.
President Obama yielded the state to Romney after a poor showing in the Democratic primary. Some 42 percent of Kentucky Democrats marked their ballots "uncommitted" even though President Obama was the only name on the ballot.

I am currently learning Asp and for that I need to install IIS server...but I already have Apache HTTP Server 2.2 installed in my computer.....how can I stop Apache Service and use IIS...Kindly help
Switching off Apache and using IIS
Apache is Linux, and IIS is windows powered, don't you think?
Apache is for both windows as well as for Linux platform..........plz post reply if you know about the subject
Originally Posted by arpit.jh001Apache is for both windows as well as for Linux platform..........plz post reply if you know about the subject
@shabbir : First I installed Apache without using XAMPP...then because I want to use ASP.NET I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it using XAMPP...I even changed the port from 80 to 1025...then also when I installed IIS server (port 80) ...then also it is not working....
Try installing IIS and then install Apache and see if it works because once the server service is stopped there is no way for IIS to know that Apache is handling port 80 requests.

Boston Conservatory Harpist Takes Top Prize in Global Competition
You are hereHome/ Boston Conservatory Harpist Takes Top Prize in Global Competition
BOSTON—Harpist Ina Zdorovetchi, a graduate of The Boston Conservatory who is now a member of the harp faculty, took the top prize at the 50th anniversary International Harp Contest in Israel, the most important competition of its kind in the world. The contest was held in Tel Aviv in October,and prize winners were chosen by a jury of 12 members—a group of previous first prize winners and internationally celebrated musicians, hailing from nine different countries. Zdorovetchi was awarded second prize (first prize not awarded).
Zdorovetchi, who came from Moldova to study in Boston, competed with 29 harpists from 18 countries. "I am honored and humbled to be receiving this prize, which is indeed a mark of excellence in the ranks of the greatest harpists in the world. To receive the top prize of the contest is more than I ever dreamed of, and my hope is that this will enable me to enlarge the number of my solo performances in order to share my artistic voice with larger audiences worldwide."
Adds Cynthia Price-Glynn, coordinator of The Boston Conservatory Harp Program, "We are extremely proud to witness Ina's growth from Boston Conservatory student to faculty member and now, world-class musician.

Where can I find a good source (book or web page) of equivalences between Australian English and American English? I am looking for ordinary words, clothing-related words, food-related words, etc.
English Language & Usage Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for linguists, etymologists, and serious English language enthusiasts. Join them; it only takes a minute:

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question

(I'm answering this because no-one else has, not because I have a good answer.)
Is the Australian National Dictionary any use?
There used to be quite a funny book of Australian English which was published around the sixties or seventies, but I can't seem to find it on the internet.
I think the question should really be what are the Equivalences between Australian English and British English?
Because Australian English is derived from British English and has far more in common with it than it does with US English. In fact, apart from colloquialisms and a few differences in common phrases Australian and British English are very close indeed.

Most big retailers would like you to think they're always the best source for low prices and you should never shop anywhere else. We all know that's not true, but finding the best price can be tough. Fortunately, Yahoo Finance has done a bit of research and found some of the best and worst things to buy at several popular stores.
However, you should avoid groceries, hardware tools, home furnishings, and cleaning supplies. Why? Groceries only come in bulk, hardware tools and furniture are things you'll want to see first, and cleaning supplies are unusually expensive.
Costco is a bad place to buy designer clothing, imported shrimp, sheets and towels, and 12 lb. crates of navel oranges. Imported shrimp is bad because environmental regulations are lax in the countries where it originates, huge crates of oranges are extremely unlikely to be finished (so only buy if you can split with friends ), clothing standards are lower at Costco so brand names might not be up to the quality you expect, and Target and Walmart are just better for sheets and towels thanks to a bigger selection at a smaller price.
However, Costco is a great place to fill up your car with heavily discounted gas, buy printer and computer supplies like ink cartridges, paper, and writable CDs and DVDs, and alcohol. Why? The gas is almost always cheaper than your local gas station, you generally want to buy printer and computer supplies in bulk and they're cheaper at Costco than most retailers, and Costco has an excellent selection of wine and liquor at very competitive prices.
Walmart is a terrible place to buy electronics, wood furniture, and jewelry. Jewelry at Walmart is generally of poor quality in order to keep prices low, their furniture is generally pretty crappy and unethically sourced, and electronics because Walmart staff just aren't particularly well-versed in what they're selling you. If you need any level of customer support, visit practically anywhere else for your gadgets.
On the other hand, Walmart is great for big discounts on brand-name groceries and snacks. You'll also find great prices on smartphones, should you know what you want and not need to ask a specialist any questions. Walmart's also been improving its sustainability record with coffee, offering fair trade brands at good prices. Lastly, you'll find the same commitment to laundry detergent with eco-friendly brands available on a budget.
Target offers a good selection of inexpensive designer cosmetics. It's also a good place to buy the Amazon Kindle should you want to try it out first. Target also has a great selection of inexpensive, eco-friendly cleaning products that go beyond just the laundry detergent that Walmart provides. Target has also made a concerted effort to add a solid offering of groceries in many of its stores. I've found, surprisingly, that they often have certain items I can't find anywhere else. While the selection isn't always as fantastic as a proper grocery store, it's still pretty comprehensive.
Target's pretty bad when it comes to furniture, however. Often times you can just get something better and cheaper at IKEA. That's not always the case—I found some great chairs at Target—but the quality is about the same as IKEA so you may want to compare prices before choosing one or the other. Exercise equipment is another thing you'll want to avoid. Target tends to trend towards the "as seen on TV"-type stuff, which is generally costly and far less effective than just paying for a gym membership. Movies and music are also bad, as Walmart and Amazon are pretty much always cheaper. Target also has a lot of products made with polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which often contain lead and pthalates—substances that have been linked to reproductive issues and release carcinogens when incinerated. In particular, shower curtains and some toys often contain PVC, so you may want to check a product's content before checking out.

Enjoy our continuation of our unique instruments feature. It's been fun to learn about these rarely seen and heard instruments.
6. Serpent
The Serpent is an ancient wind instrument related to the modern Baritone, Tuba, and Euphonium. The mouthpiece is very similar to that of a trombone or Euphonium/Baritone. When played softly, it has a firm yet serene timbre. At medium volume, the Serpent produces a robust sound that sounds like a mixture of a tuba, bassoon, and French horn. When played loudly, it can produce unpleasant sounds that are similar to animals in distress. The Serpent has a range from C below the bass clef to at least a half octave above middle C. While the Serpent is historically made from wood, modern Serpents often are made from materials such as synthetic foam resins, fiberglass, plastic, and paper maché.
7. Shakuhachi Flute
The Shakuhachi is an end-blown flute tuned to a pentatonic (5-note) scale. The design of the mouthpiece consists of a slanted edge that enables the player to control the pitch produced by altering the angle at which the flute is being blown. This produces a slight change of intonation—a swelling or bending of notes distinctive in the traditional music.
By various fingerings—covering the holes partially—and by controlling the angle of mouthpiece, all twelve tones of the western chromatic scale can be achieved.
8. Surbahar (half size)
A traditional Surbahar is, in essence, a bass sitar. It is tuned anywhere from four steps to an octave lower than a regular sitar. The half size Surbahar plays like a sitar, and because of the shorter neck, it's tuned like a sitar as well, but it's about 3/4 the size of a regular sitar. The tiger profile carving on the bottom gourd is a knee-rest, so the Surbahar can be played while sitting in a chair rather than the traditional crossed-legged style.
9. Waterphone
A type of atonal acoustic instrument, the waterphone produces an ethereal, haunting sound that serves to create a mystical or mysterious tone. Richard Waters invented and created the waterphone out of a stainless steel resonator bowl with bronze rods of varying lengths and widths along the rim of the resonator bowl, and a cylindrical neck with a handgrip. The resonator contains a small amount of water to produce the ethereal sound. Many movies have utilized the waterphone because of its strange and beautiful quality of sound. Some of these movies include Star Trek: The Motion Picture, The Matrix, and The First Emperor.
The waterphone can be submerged in water, and has successfully been used on different occasions to call whales. It can be played either with a bow or superball mallets.
10. Windform
The Windform is a playable leather horn that is six meters long. Tasmania's Garry Greenwood mastered the art of sculpting leather. He uses a wet moulding technique, creating organic forms such as the human form and Tasmanian plants. His love of music has given rise to wind, stringed, and percussion instruments reminiscent of Tasmanian life, medieval music, and theatrical masks and costumes.
Some of these are such beautiful pieces. It is interesting that we have probably all heard the waterphone in a movie and probably didn't know. The most common of these would be the sitar, a sound that many of us can easily recognize. Have you heard of any of these instruments? Played them?
