1. Live off supermarket food as long as possible.
A small post-apocalyptic community won't need to relearn the basics of agriculture immediately – the huge reservoir of preserved food in supermarkets will offer a grace period before successful farming becomes a matter of life and death. An average supermarket can feed a single person for 55 years, 63 if you eat the canned cat and dog food too…
2. Open a can without a can opener.
The last thing you want to do with your scavenged can of food is try to hack into it with a knife and risk slipping and cutting yourself in a world without antibiotics. But opening a can without an opener is astoundingly easy, if you just think about how a can is made. A cylinder of tin-coated steel is capped with a disk of metal by folding over the edge – so all you need to do to open a can is wear away only around a millimetre of metal in that protruding lip. Simply grind the end of the can on an area of concrete and the lid will soon pop off.
3. Harness fire.
You won't need to rub sticks together to ignite a fire in the immediate aftermath; even if you can't find any matches or lighters, everyday objects can be repurposed in surprising ways. For example, crack open a fire alarm to release the 9V battery, and rub the terminals against a fluff of steel wool from under any kitchen sink or abandoned supermarket. The thin wires have high electrical resistance and will heat up and burst into flame.
4. Make yourself a stove.
A 'gasifier stove' makes very efficient use of wood fuel and can be built with only simple tools and a few old tin cans. Wood is burned in the inner can, with holes at the bottom to draw air through the fuel, but importantly a second ring of holes at the top. This re-introduces oxygen and ignites the flammable vapours and gases given off by the wood as it breaks down. This gasification process can even be used to power a cars and trucks.
5. Sterilise water with bleach or UV rays from sunlight.
Water can be sterilised by boiling. But to save fuel diluted kitchen bleach or even swimming-pool chlorine is very effective. Even a clear plastic bottle can kill waterborne pathogens in a day by exposing them to UV rays in the sunlight – a technique recommended by the WHO known as SODIS (solar disinfection).
6. Always wash your hands.
Huge numbers of people die every year from infections picked-up through 'faecal-oral' transfer, which is as delightful as it sounds. The simplest way to prevent this is to keep washing your hands. Soap can be made ludicrously simply: boil animal fat with seaweed ashes and lime (from roasting chalk or limestone).
7. Sort your shit out.
In the longer term, you really need to make sure that your water source isn't contaminated by your own, or anyone else's, excrement. Make sure any latrine pits you dig are at least 20m from any well or other water source.
The key trick for waste water treatment is to force human pathogens to compete with environmental bacteria, in a sludge tank or reed bed – a contest they are poorly adapted for and will lose. Manure is a wonderful way to maintain the fertility of your farming fields, but human stuff must be properly treated first.
8. Grow your own food for when the supermarket stuff runs out.
All of humanity essentially eats a staple diet of grass – the cereal crops wheat, rice and maize. These fast-growing species provide condensed dollops of nutrition in their grain, but it must be gathered by chopping the whole stalk down and then threshing it to knock-out the seeds. A milling stone (perhaps turned by a windmill) is like a technological extension of our own molar teeth, grinding the grain into flour so that we can cook it in bread or pasta to unlock the nutrients for our digestion.
The key to agriculture without artificial fertilisers is to maintain the fertility of your fields by alternating between cereals and leguminous plants like peas, alfalfa and soy, which return nitrate nutrients into the soil.
9. Scavenge diesel-fuelled generators from building sites or roadworks.
After the grid goes down you'll want to create a local power network for yourself. In the immediate aftermath you could scavenge diesel-fuelled generators (try roadworks or building sites) but in the longer term you might jury-rig waterwheels or windmills, fitted with the alternator cannibalised from an abandoned car to generate electricity. This can be used to recharge deep-cycle batteries (such as from caravans, mobility scooters or golf carts) for storage and keep your life electrified.
10. Use electricity to make some basic chemicals.
Electricity is also a great way of providing substances that are difficult to produce purely chemically. Splitting water gives you hydrogen and oxygen, and electrolysis of brine produces chlorine – essential to make bleaches for clothing, hygiene and disinfecting drinking water.
11. Redevelop a chemical industry.
One of the most vital classes of chemicals throughout history has been the alkalis, such as potash (potassium carbonate) soaked out of wood ashes or soda (sodium carbonate) soaked out of seaweed ashes. These are critical for reacting with fats and oils to make soap, disassembling plant matter to make pulp for paper, and in the production of glass.
Before the late nineteenth century and the exploitation of coal and then crude oil, the source of chemical feedstocks – acids, alcohols, solvents, tars – was by baking timber in an air-tight container and collecting the vapours released.
12. Keep your car running with wood.
Once all the diesel and petrol have run-out you can keep your car and vital machinery running with wood. Timber can be partly-combusted with limited oxygen supply in a process called gasification. It releases flammable hydrogen and methane gases, which can be piped directly into the engine cylinders.
During the Second World War, a million vehicles were adapted to run on wood gasification (the German army even adapted tanks to be wood-powered), and in Scandinavia today electrical power stations use this same efficient process.
13. Begin relearning the world yourself.
Selected tips on how to keep yourself alive and begin rebuilding civilization will only get you so far. You'll also need to begin relearning how the world works for yourself.
The most important piece of the modern world to preserve through the cataclysm above all else is scientific enquiry. Closely observing the world around you and running experiments will allow you to decide how to go about restoring civilisation. The machinery of science is what built our modern world, and it is science that you will need to rebuild again.

Product Description
A triumph of Northwestern indie-rock, Everclear's debut album was made for a mere $400 and released on Tim/Kerr Records before Capitol snapped the group up in wake of flannelmania. (Sonically, it's better than Nirvana's Bleach which cost a relatively extravagant $200 more.) And while musical simplicity is part of the band's genius--guitars grind and spew distortion while the rhythm section hammers the beat into submission--there's nothing simplistic about bandleader Art Alexakis's lyrics. "You wonder why I live like this, man, you just won't understand / I won't give in, I'm not like that," he sings in "Loser Makes Good," a song about convictions and staying true to your dreams--which could have been written by Garth Brooks if it didn't also contain the line "I hate waking up, it means that I have to die again." "World of Noise" is somewhat less listener-friendly than its big budgeted successors, Sparkle and Fade and So Much for the Afterglow, but it's a clear indication of why Everclear managed to survive while the other Nirvana-be's fell by the wayside. --Daniel Durchholz

For fans of Sparkle, "World of Noise" is an essential look back at Everclear's punk rock roots. The album is less polished than Sparkle. Everclear keeps it simple: guitar, bass, drums, vocals. No synthesizers, no string quartets, no piano, no ukulele (thank god!)
The best two songs on the album demonstrate the range Everclear is capable of with just guitar,bass, and drums. First, "fire maple song" is a poignant acoustic/electric song that starts slow and drives home hard. "nervous and weird" is a fast-paced rock that follows the KISS principle (keep it simple stupid!), snap the drum sticks, enter guitar, enter some vocals, play a few verses, go to guitar solo, finish screaming. Nothing fancy, just good rockin'!
Your Genius Hands: A great first track. It starts off the album with a bit of distortion and then an awesome guitar line. "I have seen you shake, I know what it cost you, I have heard your work, I am big on your noise..." I never got a grip on exactly what this is about, but it might be about a guitarist he admires, "I long to shake your genius hands." *highlight*
Sick And Tired: This is a deep, distorted song about possibly suicide... and the end is really cool.
The Laughing World: This song is grinding and wicked. The riff sounds like something going forward then suddenly pulling back. Another confusing song lyrically ("like a burning car in the sun, we flame for all in plain view"), but still a mild headbanger that rocks (if your the sorta person who does that to punk music). *highlight*
Fire Maple Song: This is the only song on the greatest hits album, and it's about Art's brother dying, and Alexakis sings about this true experience with passionate lyrics. It's soft and beautiful, but has Art almost screaming "I...can't...smile!" during the chorus. The first part of the song is about memories of the brothers spending time together under a maple tree as kids, with lyrics like "listen to grandma sing those country songs, she said the maple turns to fire every four years, we'd lay under the tree and watch the autumn come around," while near the end you hear "Now we're so far away, call eachother once a year, just around the holidays...I can't believe this letter that says you died, I think I'll go back to the house in North Carolina and lay in the backyard, get drunk and let the leaves just bury me..." A great song. *highlight*
Pennsylvania Is...: This song is about the evils of the anti-abortion laws. All states except New York used to have these laws, and this song is specifically about...you guessed it...Pennsylvania. And if you're wondering where there's ... at the end of the, the word missing is "wrong!", which is yelled at the end of the song. It's one of the most meaningful songs on the album. *highlight*
Nervous And Weird: A loud song about a deteriorating relationship. Alexakis uses this theme commonly in many future songs, but this song belongs on this album due to it's unique sound. Nevertheless another great song.
Malevolent: Another meaningful song, about a guy who hits his girlfriend when she tries to break up with him.
Sparkle: This song is amazing. It's one of those songs where it's hard to tell who it's talking about...some claim it's about Kurt Cobain, which is cool, but I have another theory. First of all, the song is clearly about a sell-out musician that Art is displaying his dissapointment with. The person is described as bleached blonde hair and plaid clothes, etc, obviously talking about a blonde grunge junkie. It could be about Kurt becoming something that Art didn't like, but what did Art do later? Doesn't he now have bleach blonde hair? Did he not sell out? I think this song could be about Art talking to his future self, talking about his fear that he will become this sort of person. As a friend said to me about this, sometimes our biggest fears come true. Anyway, just a theory. This song starts off with what I think of as a shaky chord. This also happens later in the song, except it's cooler because Art yells this time. *highlight*
Trust Fund: A very distorted song. I believe this was a Colorfinger song. Anyway, pure grunge.
Loser Makes Good: ANOTHER very meaningful song, about a homeless man criticizing, complaining, but ultimately, as in the title, making good with his words. *highlight*
Invisible: My favorite song on the whole album, about having AIDS. There isn't one line of lyrics in the song that isn't absolutely stunning: "I just can't believe that AIDS is just some act of god...no one will reach for me, no one will touch my skin...I will accept my pain, I don't deserve to die like this, no one deserves to die like this...sometimes I get so mad, I just want to break the world...I will not be denied, I will not be ignored, I'm real I won't go away, I am not invisible anymore..." *highlight*
Evergleam: Probably my favorite last track on all their albums, this is a happy, upbeat summary to a very emotional album. It always puts me in a good mood. So concludes a grunge masterpiece by my favorite band. *highlight*
Buy this album! :-)

If you like your Sci-Fi Space Operas to be a little more on the fantasy side (like I do!) then I recommend this fun White Star Race/Class supplement. Everyone's favorite little fantasy homebodies have taken to the stars in their opendecked galleons in search of fun and food! I can't wait to integrate these half-men swashbucklers into my White Star games
James Spahn is the master of OSR games. Coming off the success of his brilliant take on Space Opera, White Star, he takes us back to the origins of the game. The Heroes Journey is an innovative take on Swords & Wizardry, this is James' fantasy heartbreaker. Drawing upon the classic tales, like Tolkien he is practically giving you this game. Well, okay technically he is giving you this game. So get it! Praise it! Love it. Take the journey, the Heroes Journey.
The Hero's Journey by James Spahn is an old school, Swords & Wizardry White Box inspired roleplaying game of epic, nostalgia-driven, proportions. The rules are light and simple, leaving the role playing to the imagination and without bogging down gaming sessions. The entire volume evokes images of Lord Of The Rings, Dragonlance, A Wizard of Earthsea, and the Sword of Shannara, all of which were instrumental in my early gaming years. There are nods to early editions of D&D, but options to avoid those nods if one chooses. Speaking of choices, the book is littered with them! Optional additions are found on almost every page, which allows Game Masters and Players to set the level of comfort that they enjoy.
The Magic section brings back those classic spells which every old school player knows and loves, but doesn't become overly packed with useless incantations and barely understandable casting rules that some of the most recent games have. Creatures and bad guys abound in the section on monsters, and even includes a short section on creating your own evil minions to populate your home-brewed worlds.
My favorite part of this amazing book is the Magic Items section. it is filled with an abundance of classic and new trinkets for your players to get their hands on. But, what really makes this section shine is the way it treats magical weapons and armor. These items do not gain their mystical powers by enchantments placed upon them when forged, but by earning reputations and glory through battle and noteworthy events. This draws my imagination to things like Excalibur in the Arthurian Legend and Naegling, Beowulf's sword. Weapons who were feared and held in awe by those who had heard of their mighty deeds. Which lead me to think about fantastic stories where weapons might fail among enemies which either did not fear them or had not been introduced to their epic pasts.
All in all this is a fantastic game that throws back to those fondly remembered gaming days of yore, without jamming it down your throat, and still creates a new and exciting table top experience. You would be a fool for not adding this title to your collection!
I really loved the look of the PDF from the layout to the art this is a top notch production that PWYN pricing does not convey.
Within the first few chapters I was getting a very DCC vibe with the addition of luck to attributes and an Occupation table along with wording how most commoners never travel more then a few miles from home their entire lives. Now if you give the player race a d4 dice to start and no classes you could have a 0 level funnel.
The next thing I noticed was the reduction value some races get it like the Half-Orc when you roll damage against them you subtract that reduction value from the damage before applying it to the hit points. Also armor will add to the reduction value. This is a heroic RPG after all and steps are taken to make the heroes stronger. I'll return to reduction value in a moment.
Next up are the Classes all the popular classes are here and some others like Jester. The Demi-Humans have level restrictions and this is where the text fell apart for me and I need to go back a re read but it doesn't really discuss multi-classing or dual-classing which based off some of the restrictions and wording seemed like was an option.
The Spells, Monsters, Equipment and GM advice was all well written and was useful for new GM's and players but if you have run some games most likely you know these things.
Magic weapons was something new, they are not forged or crafted they are made by both deeds and actions. Simply put if you crit with the weapon mark down a myth point. You hit 5 myth points the weapon becomes a plus one. You created the legends and reasons for your world. I love this it seems like something that belongs in DCC where the players action forge them, now the action also forge the legendary weapons of the world. Now here is the kicker and you can tell this was inspired by Tolkien writing specific the Hobbit. If one of the Crits that gained a myth point also resulted in the death of the creature fighting the weapons becomes a bane of those creatures. Like Thorin's Blade Orcist "The Goblin Cleaver" or Gandalf's Glamdring "The Beater" who's legends where made century ago.
Now back to reduction points if your armor Reduction value saves you from going down to 0 HP it gets a myth point and at 5 myth points it will give you a +1 to both AC and reduction values.
This is a very cool little Whitebox hack and if you like Whitebox play and want something more heroic this could be the game for you. I've recently been getting into OD&D and I like some of the ideas in here.
At PWYW it's steal and even at $10 for the PDF it's a good deal. When the print version comes out it will definitely get a place on my shelf with all my OD&D stuff.
The layout is clean and readable. Although, It is not hyperlinked. The art is good. Fans of Larry Elmore will enjoy his pieces throughout the beginning of the book. The rest of the art is as good or better. Larry's seeming unwillingness to illustrate feet and his preference for all women being voluminous haired 60's/70's pin-up is not a draw for me, personally. It is however very reminiscent of the re-issued Red Box and effective in garnering a sense of nostalgia.
I've looked over the book only briefly. I noticed that the thief skill subsystem (sneakery and such) use a d6 mechanic where starting characters succeed at tasks with a 1 in 6 chance. This chance improved with experience, but the granularity does not leave room for personal attributes or situational modifiers. All classes with non-combat skills use this same mechanic.
There are some nice bits regarding background professions and legendary weapons.
All the classes are present. My biggest gripe is that Clerics and Druids share the same spell list which contains only 6 spells per level. In fact, there is only the Wizard and Cleric spell list. These two lists are shared by the Bard, Cleric, Druid, Jester, Paladin, Ranger and Wizard.
The equipment, monsters and magic item chapters seem to be well fleshed out and unrushed.
In short, first impressions would have been worth 5 stars if there was a nature spell list for Druids and Rangers (0E be damned!), Jesters were replaced with some type of mountebank or illusionist class - again with their own spell list and again ignoring their history in the annals of The Dragon. Acrobats also need something to make them a conceivable player choice. With the Duelist an existing character option, the Acrobat class is less of a Swashbuckler and more of a cartoon gymnast. Overall, my complaints are typical of many white-box emulators in that enforcing maximum word count for each class sometimes backfires and you end up with options that seem either incomplete or trap choices for inexperienced players.
I have long been seeking what I would call, my ultimate version of Dungeons & Dragons. I have tried many, many systems ranging from the various editions of D&D (from 2nd to 5th editions) all the way to the indie clones (Dungeon World, White Hack, Torchbearer), the OSR systems (including Swords & Wizardry and Labyrinth Lord) and modern takes on the genre of traditional fantasy (Pathfinder, Fantasy Age, Dungeon Crawl Classics).
I can say, with all honesty, that they pale in comparison to this marvellous work by Mr Spahn. The Hero's Journey manages to capture that "feel" of D&D fantasy that other systems have tried to nail but haven't quite managed. The writing is concise, friendly and informal without being bogged down with colloquialisms or excess chatter. The rule system is simple and, once grokked, intuitive enough for old hands and beginners alike. The layout is crisp with some lovely artwork by none other than Mr Larry Elmore (I adore the front cover art; a Tolkien-esque tribute if ever I saw one!).
A perfect selection of races and classes is presented along with a profession system which harkens back to secondary skills of earlier editions. I like it. I like it a lot.
Alongside this there is an ample bestiary, a modest spell selection and some very spot-on advice for getting a game off the ground applicable to both veterans and rookies alike. James pitches at just the right level; inclusive and useful with no wasted words or dry prose. Moreover this is not a game that attempts to overwhelm readers. It keeps things simple and then enourages readers to journey towards the campaign of their desires; be that epic or modest in scope.
What else can I say? If I had any wishes for this book it would be information on creating specialist clerics, a larger spell list (including magic missile!) and more beasties. Then again, it is already so well packed that I have no complaints, only requests for more! I would love, love to see a companion volume to this along with extra rules options, more spells, beasties & deities.
To summarise: Mr Spahn has knocked this one completely out of the park. A wonderul piece of work, a terrific game; not just an homage to old-school D&D but, dare I say it, something that takes the old torch and re-lights it, paving the way through dungeons anew and then passing it forward for a whole new generation of adventurers to enjoy.
I can only say one thing about "The Hero's Journey" and that is "Wow". This game takes me back to 1979 when I was first introduced to role-playing games, specifically the one by TSR, by my cousin. It was like I had discovered that magic was real and I was hooked for the rest of my life.
This game did the same thing. I love Swords and Wizardry and as far as I am concerned Mr. Finch made a great contribution to the world of RPG's but Hero's Journey does everything that I have done to Swords and Wizardry and made it look good. There are also quite a few things that I had not thought of or overlooked; kudos by the way for damage reduction.
The book itself is set up well and reads easily, and the art by Mr. Elmore is a welcome plus. In my opinion this game is as close as one will get to the "perfect" role-playing game.
Buy this game, it will not be a regret.
Just damn good...
The Hero's Journey reminds me of my first retro-inspired game. But the big difference is, my game was a heartbreaker disaster, this is a very well-written and polished book with my favourite Swords & Wizardry rules inside.
THJ is basically how my S&W games look - overhauled races and classes, houserules and a few modern ideas to spice up the adventures. The Profession rules are simple,yet cool, since they add some interesting ideas and characteristics to the lvl 1 hero. Adding dice pools makes picking a race a very tough choice for the players.
Classes? We have 14 to choose from, and all have a retro feel to them. Fighters are not useless anymore (thank you!), everyone has a clear and understandable advancement table and simple, yet useful abilities, just like in S&W: Whitebox.
The illustrations look great (the art made by Elmore is just perfect... and sexy). The layout is top-notch.
Right now this has replaced Swords & Wizardry: Complete on my list of favourite tabletop RPG games. While playing Swords & Wizardry, I had to always open my notebook with additional rules. But this has almost everything I need.
This official follow up to White Star: Science Fiction Roleplaying is packed full of information and new content, while still maintaining the "toolkit" approach of the core rules. New classes include old standbys like the bounty hunter and the space explorer, but then branch off into more interesting (and pulpy) territory with the Novomachina (Transformers), the Man of Tomorrow (Flash Gordon or even Indiana Jones), and the Plucky Sidekick (Short Round!). New vehicles include starships and skycraft that can be dropped into any game as well as some familiar Star Wars analogues. New aliens and creatures are always helpful. Rawrarrs are going to find their way as trusted friends and co-pilots in many light transports and I'm personally a fan of reptoids such as Bossk and Kayman of the Lambda Zone, so the race of Crocodila is going to fit right into my WS campaign. (There is one feathered race in particular that won't be making an appearance, but that's another story. . .). Other new content includes a simple and intuitive Skills system as well as various new weapons and armor.
What I really liked were the addition of random charts and tables. One set of tables allow you to build solar systems from scratch, starting with the sun(s), moving onto the types of planets, their alien inhabitants, and even the technological level of these inhabitants. Another set of tables, the "Serials" section, randomly generates your character's background along with tons of flavor and plot hooks you can work out with your Referee. Very cool stuff. I rarely roll anything randomly for my PCs, but I do like to mine tables for inspiration, whether I'm building a new world or creating interesting NPCs, and these are all gems.
Overall, a fantastic followup to the original game and a must-have for any White Star or old school sci-fi Referee. I hate to say that it looks like any official product James M. Spahn creates for White Star is going to be golden, but if he keeps creating products like this I don't think anyone can argue.
As always, another excellent addition to the White Star cannon.
Excellent new classes (such as playing Flash Gordon or an Ewok!) and rules for ground vehicles really help to round out any WS game.
New aliens and monsters also add spice to a game (reskinned Wells Martians, White Apes, and my favorite, the Lazer Rex!).
There are a few quibbles here and there. For example, while I love the Flash Gordon class, its inability to wear armor and lack of any innate protective ability, seems to make it a class that would struggle to stay relavent for long without constantly taking laser rifles to the face. But overall, if you liked WS you will like this book.
Oh, a special mention for the Serial section of the rules where you can randomly roll a character's background. It is an exceptionally simple life path generator but packs lots of interesting story hooks for development!
Nice addition to my WS library. There are other third party products available that offer some of what is included here, but it's nice to see more from the publisher himself. Many of the 3PP offerings take the game in other sci-fi directions, but this brings more content that is obviously Star Wars inspired - bounty hunters, Ewoks, AT-ATs and so on. Love it!
I do see some typos and errors here and there, but like WS Core, I expect those to be fixed over time and teh PDF updated. James is a boss like that.
If you liked White Star, then you can't go wrong with this supplement. It contains a wealth of information highly useful to virtually any kind of campaign--the new vehicles, including hovertanks and striders (much like AT-STs from Star Wars), are in particular a welcome addition. There is also a simple, functional skill system that adds depth to characters without over-complicating them. Finally, there is a section on Serials, where you can roll to find out about your character's background, which does affect your ability scores (and, yes, Traveller fans, you can die on a bad die roll!)
That being said, one of the things I like about White Star is its simplicity, and I think some of the new material adds little to the game, and amounts to new options for the sake of new options. Some of the seven new character classes, such as the Bounty Hunter, Deep Space Explorer and Two-Fisted Technician, are broadly useful, but the others are odd or very niche (one of them allows you to play an 8-15 Mech as a character; that may appeal to some gamers, but seems unworkable and goofy to me). Second, some of the new creatures seem slapstick amd silly ("Space Ducks?") Again, some might like that; I don't, and would have preferred something more useful.
However, the amount of useful content vastly outweighs that which I don't find useful, and as such I would recommend this product for virtually any kind of White Star Campaign.
Fantastic! This will be my space opera go-to for the foreseeable future!
I've enjoyed reading several of Spahn's character creations for Labyrinth Lord over the past few months, so it doesn't surprise me that he can write a heck of a good adventure as well. The part you read to players is italicized and monster/treasure stats are separated and indented, making reading easy on the eyes. The module has new magic items (I especially love the sword). New creatures! (My favorite is the Clerical Lich). The bad guy at the end has an entire page dedicated to him - the character development is really good. There are a couple of NPCs and player handouts (text) of Notes & Journals to hand out. A couple of small suggestions if any updates are planned: use actual #'s for the locations, don't spell out twelve (12). Also I would remove "NPC" from the monster stat line and just bold print the actual monster name instead. Not including the maps, the PDF is over 50 pages. So you're getting alot of value for such a fair price. I was very impressed with what I got for my money on this purchase.
I picked this game up on a recommendation from a friend. After looking it over I am glad I did. With the release of a certain movie I have decided to use it for my winter campaign at church (Yes, Role Playing Games have a place in Church.) Once some of my group found out they could run generic versions of a certain group from said movie they were hooked. I am looking forward to running this.

Mainland stocks rally on hints of monetary easing
Just a day after showing signs of losing steam amid a bleak economic outlook, mainland stocks yesterday jumped the most in more than two months as investors bet on monetary easing.
The Shanghai Composite Index climbed 45.86 points or 1.96 per cent to 2,380.85 yesterday, the largest single-day gain since February 8, following a 0.9 per cent loss on Tuesday, which was the biggest drop in two weeks.
'As the market seemed to be turning bearish, this rally came as a surprise,' said Shenyin Wanguo Securities analyst Wei Daoke. 'Indeed, the index will meet a strong technical barrier at the 2,400-point level.
On Tuesday, the market reacted negatively to figures from the Ministry of Commerce that showed foreign direct investment had dropped for a fifth straight month in March.
Yesterday's gain resulted from speculation that Beijing would soon loosen monetary policy to bolster the economy, through measures such as cutting banks' reserve requirement ratio to help lenders increase credit. Talk of an imminent interest rate cut also contributed to the buying spree.
On the mainland, speculation and rumours about policy shifts often spark short-term rebounds in a weak market, but such rallies mostly turn out to be short-lived because of weak fundamentals. Analysts warned that yesterday's rally would also be met with a correction in the coming days.
The economy grew 8.1 per cent in the first quarter of this year, the slowest in nearly three years. The State Council has set a growth target for this year of 7.5 per cent, although it has set an 8 per cent growth in previous years.
The Shanghai index was among the world's worst performers in 2010 and 2011 but has advanced 8.2 per cent so far this year.
Yesterday's gain was partly buoyed by the International Monetary Fund raising its forecasts for global economic growth.
The IMF said the world economy would grow 3.5 per cent this year, revising up a previous prediction of 3.3 per cent.
The Shanghai index would fluctuate between 2,200 and 2,500, Wei said.

We spent two weeks in the Cutty Sark in November 2012. It suited us very well as we were in Texas to visit family, who could not accommodate us. The Cutty Sark had everything we needed for a two week stay, including a very comfortable bed. It is sited well away from the traffic in a peaceful area less than ten minutes walk from The Boardwalk. There is a Target, and other stores, less than ten minutes away, on foot and Barbara and Jerry, the Innkeepers, were very welcoming and hospitable. There is a very pleasant garden area with seats and a pool in the complex of 1930s cottages. If we get back to that area of Texas I would have no hesitation in returning to The Clipper House Inn.

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.

Design and Construction of Driven Pile Foundations: Lessons Learned on the Central Artery/Tunnel Project
Paperback: $16.94
Prints in 3-5 business days
Pile foundations are used extensively for the support of buildings, bridges, and other structures to safely transfer structural loads to the ground and to avoid excess settlement or lateral movement.... More > They are very effective in transferring structural loads through weak or compressible soil layers into the more competent soils and rocks below. A "driven pile foundation" is a specific type of pile foundation where structural elements are driven into the ground using a large hammer. They are commonly constructed of timber, precast prestressed concrete (PPC), and steel (H-sections and pipes). Historically, piles have been used extensively for the support of structures in Boston, MA. This is mostly a result of the need to transfer loads through the loose fill and compressible marine clays that are common in the Boston area. Driven piles, in particular, have been a preferred foundation system because of their relative ease of installation and low cost.< Less

V.I.B. Picks for Kids (very impressive book)
Every now and then we encounter a new children's book or series that we're so excited about we want to broadcast it from the rooftop. We've created the Tattered Cover Kids' V.I.B. (Very Impressive Book) to highlight real stand-outs among the many delightful and meaningful new editions for young readers.
Our latest selection for this honor is:
The Airport Book
by Lisa Brown
Purchase this book and previous Kids' V.I.B. selections below:
Everyone seems to have heard of the boy in the bubble -- the boy who was allergic to everything. Well, meet Madeline Whittier -- a 17 year old who is confined to her hermetically sealed house, tended to by her physician mother and companion nurse Carla. Maddie takes online classes and reads brand new, sanitized books (second-hand books are full of other people's germs). She and her mother are best friends, playing phonetic Scrabble and honor Pictionary, watching movies and telling each other everything.
That is how life has been for as long as she remembers, and Maddie figures that's how it will be for the foreseeable future. Enter the family who moves in next door: a father who seems to be 'way too fond of the bottle', a meek mother, a young girl and a -- whoa!, absolutely gorgeous guy who looks about Maddie's age. Hmmmm!
This fabulous book catches you from the very beginning, and you'll be sorry when it ends. Just when you think all the books about sick teens have been written, you get surprised -- over and over again. Really surprised! What a treat! I LOVED this one!!! -- Jocelyn, Children's bookselling specialist

Hello! I'm using the WP-Table Reloaded plugin on a clients site, in conjunction with the Relevanssi search plugin, and I was wondering if there's any trick I had to do to get data from my tables to show up in site-wide search results?
For example, one of the tables is being used to display a number of business locations, along with each branches's contact info and addresses. Whenever I search for any of the branch names via a site-wide search however, nothing from the table, or the page that the table is on, show up in my search results.
Is there a specific setting that I'd have to set in WP-Table Reloaded or Relevanssi, or is the displaying of table data in site-wide search results not possible at the moment via WP-Table Reloaded? I know Relevanssi allows one to set Custom fields or Custom Taxonomies to index, but other than those two options, I can't see anything else that would make sense to change, to get table data showing up in the sites search results.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
MCLEAN, VA—DoubleTree by Hilton added 49 hotels to its portfolio in 2012 and expects to meet or exceed that pace in 2013 with both new-build and conversion hotels in the development pipeline.
Leading the brand's growth are conversion projects, located predominantly in the Americas and Europe.
Of the properties opened, 31 hotels were in the Americas, 11 in Europe and seven in Asia Pacific.
The brand also inked more than 75 deals for hotels to open through 2020, at least 25 of which are planned in the Americas;

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.

Delta, DTW Expand Recycling Efforts
Delta Airlines and Detroit Metro Airport announced they will be expanding their recycling initiatives, according to a press release. The airport will now be providing divided recycling bins in its McNamara Terminal, which serves as Delta's second-largest hub.
The new system will accept plastic bottles, metal cans and paper from travelers. The program expands on a similar one that had been implemented at the airport's North Terminal.
Nineteen new collections sites will be set up throughout the terminal, according to the release, though additional sites may be added later depending on the rate of customer participation.
Almost 7,080 tons of waste were removed from McNamara Terminal in 2009, according to the report, thought it is not known what portion of that is recycleable. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental advocacy group, 75 percent of the waste generated every day at airports is recyclable, but only 20 percent is recycled. Oakland International Airport in California established a similar program in 2003, and now diverts 37 percent of its waste from landfills.
The program is the latest environmental initiative by the Wayne County Airport Authority (WCAA), which overseas the operations at Detroit Metro. Previously, the WCAA has also led efforts to recycle used cooking grease from airport concessions into biofuel for airport service vehicles and recycle aircraft deicing fluid.
Delta topped a recent ranking of US airlines recycling initiatives. Several airports are considering other sustainability initiatives.

I think if Alibaba IPOs in early 2014 it will be valued at atleast $100B! Anyone else dare to guess or are you brain dead?
Listen jerk , don't try to intimidate people , you made your GUESS so live with it . Would you feel any worse if I said $60B or would you feel any better if I said $150B . Who gives a #$%$ . Ridiculous , ask your guru Cafone , who knows no better than anyone else . Jerk .
Sentiment: Strong Buy
The minimum Alibaba will IPO at will be $100B. The max is $190B, as of today! These estimates are growing every day.
basket thinks Alibaba will IPO between $70B to $90B. After being laughed off the board she raised her estimate to $80B to $100B. Can you say clueless..?

Subject: CASH INTO YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT WITH JUST A FEW CLICKS
At first I thought this was too good to be true, how wrong I was!! I decided to give it a go, it was only 6 dollars so why not? Well I was astounded!! Money has, and still is coming to my account.
Ok this is all you need:
1) An email address
2) A PayPal account
3) then POST,POST,POST,POST,POST,POST,POST,POST,POST...... ....
Only hours after implementing this exact system I about fell out of my chair as money ACTUALLY started rolling in. I couldn't believe it and for that reason, I became a believer in this system.?
The idea is that of a system that takes advantage of the power of compounding. And in a big way, let me tell you. First and foremost understand that there are countless spin-offs of this system that try to make a "quick buck" off of people. Long lists, the 5 & 10 dollar trees, the birthday systems, etc... Those spin-offs do make money because of the ease of implementation of this idea, but they do NOT use the compounding advantage. This system is THE legit and profitable one.
There is a list of 6 email addresses (you'll see it as you read further). Each of these people has already taken part in this system.
When someone new comes along (such as yourself) he/she removes #1 off of the list, moves the other five email addresses up one position (i.e. #6 goes to #5, #5 to #4, etc.), and adds their PayPal email address in the 6 position.
This process is what
$150 B+ ! Buy! Buy! & Nokia !
Sentiment: Strong Buy
The majority is between 100b - 150b with one analyst at 190b.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
24% of 190B is worth $45B. If that ever happened, Yahoo is RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICH!
I just read a post from Barron. An analyst said it's worth $190B now. Seriously you can google it yourself.
This will make yhoo worth at least what $60?
It really depends on the market conditions however if it is still Bull then expect easily over $110B compared to Twitter
$100B is the new minimum. Anyone predicting $70 to $90B or anything lower is an uneducated moron.
Only an idiot thinks Alibaba will IPO as low as $70 or $80 billion.
I agree. $100B minimum.
Alibaba wants to sell shares in an initial public offering in Hong Kong that bankers say could raise $15bn and value it at up to $120bn.
At least 25% of the issuer's total issued share capital must at all times be held by the public, so the minimum for the initial public offering in Hong Kong is 25% of the company. That would make the total worth $60 bn if they raise $15 bn for the 25%.....If there ever is an IPO.
Anonymous sources are notorious for their bad math and unreliable information..... just like other Yahoo longs.
guessing is for amateurs, not professionals! and from what i see there are plenty of them here...

Skip to comments.Potentially Painful Poll for Ohio Coming Today
Posted on 10/13/2012 10:27:14 AM PDT by TBBT
Potentially Painful Poll for Ohio Coming Today
(Excerpt) Read more at ace.mu.nu ...
Painful for whom?
Thread: http://minx.cc/?post=333804
Good question. I assumed us.
ace.mu.nu. I wouldn't touch that URL with your diii........ nevermind...
What are the initals for Potentially Painful Poll? Isn't it PPP?
Is that you, Greg? Or is it GumbyPokey?
this garbage perhaps?? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2944285/posts
Sorry, but if Virginia and Ohio are approaching the wide margin we've seen the past few days, there is no way Ohio is trending the other way. I'd say it is is very close, with one of the two with a 1-2 point edge right now.
Oh please. The evidence does not support a very bad poll for R/R.
PPP just released their poll 49-48 Romney in Ohio!
From PPP twitter feed:
Ohio looks pretty darn close on the first night of our poll there. We'll do more calls tomorrow and have results in the evening
5:52pm - 12 Oct 12
I bet R/R takes Ohio at least by 5%.
Where did you see this?
PPP is polling Ohio this weekend. The results are due to be published later on today.
Which side will consider these results painful is not known at the present time.
I think this title is just the author's painful attempt at being clever.
That just means it is time for Triple-Dem to heavily poll Cuyahoga county.
Oh how I wish MI & PA would poll big for R/R so we could stop hearing about the damn swing voters in OH. I just think that the OH voters are craving the attention. Are they stupid enough to really believe that 4 more years of Obama could help them in any possible way? Maybe they could get rid of their Republican Governor to get the full Democrat experience.
In Ohio, I think the pollsters ask "how many votes are you gonna cast for Obama, THIS time?" to the Dem's in the inner-city tribal areas.
Yesterday, the local GOP headquarters in the southern suburbs of Cuyahoga county (Cleveland) had a sign on their door that they had run out of Romney / Ryan signs. And today there is the news that Bill Clinton and Bruce Springsteen will be campaigning with Obama in Parma this week. Parma is normally a heavily Democratic suburb - Dennis Kucinich is the congressman. The Democrats must really be worried about Ohio. I'll bet their internal polling is much different than what is being reported.
Hmmmmm ...... Bill might have to forego the campaigning opportunity for Obozo to help Hillary since Obozo/Buffoon seem to be throwing her under the Benghazi bus these days. He's got a team of lawyers already on the job to keep Hillary from getting run over. I'm guessing he's not feeling too chummy towards Barry right about now.
After handing out Obama-Phones, no doubt, since that was the "birthplace" of the phenomenon.
Bill Clinton and Bruce Springsteen will be campaigning with Obama in Parma this week.
The old dope smoking concert/Dem rally trick again. LoL.
We've gone through two sets of 1000 yard signs in no time.
PPP not only has several outliers (out and out liars) in the Presidential state polls, but in several of the Senate polls as well.
I'd like to see the RCP numbers ex-PPP.
You are an evil spawn of the interwebs!
Cuyahoga Country (Parma) when 68-30 for Obama. He must be worried about total State vote count since there is no chance he will lose Cuyahoga county. guess it's closer than we are being told, to spend value campaign capital there this close to an election.
Surprised Bill will be campaigning at all for Obama....after he threw Hitlery under the bus this week. Unless, that was the plan?
If people run out of yard signs, then ? how many people do you see making their own yard signs ?
Perfect example of the "brain dead."
1% or 2% polls are designed to prepare for election theft, nothing more.
ALL Polls are propaganda or worse Agitprop..
IF a Poll effects your vote you're not voting on the issues..
MAybe don't even know "the Issues"..
If a Poll effects your vote in any way, you're a drone..
A Drone in some Collective HIVE.. like a BORG,..
I was poled once. Very painful.
I was poled once. Very painful.
How big are those 1,000 yard signs? Around here the R/R signs are about 18" x 30".
Sounds right.
Same proportion as yours. 3000 feet long by 1800 feet high. Some say they are overkill, but the ones I've seen are really impressive.
Last week, Breitbart leaked some internal Romney polling that showed Romney ahead in Ohio by 5 points. Sure hope it's true.
I imagine Christo is the type of guy who would make an obama sign or a 5 million sq.ft. sign that says, "Save the planet."
Has O up plus 5, with a D+4 sample, 51-46.

In the beginning, the World Wide Web was exciting and open to the point of anarchy, a vast and intimidating repository of unindexed confusion. Into this creative chaos came Google with its dazzling mission To organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and its much-quoted motto, Don t be evil. In this provocative book, Siva Vaidhyanathan examines the ways we have used and embraced Googleand the growing resistance to its expansion across the globe. He exposes the dark side of our Google fantasies, raising red flags about issues of intellectual property and the much-touted Google Book Search. He assesses Google's global impact, particularly in China, and explains the insidious effect of Googlization on the way we think. Finally, Vaidhyanathan proposes the construction of an Internet ecosystem designed to benefit the whole world and keep one brilliant and powerful company from falling into the evil it pledged to avoid.
About the Author
Siva Vaidhyanathan is the Robertson Family Professor of Media Studies at the University of Virginia. His work has appeared on public radio, on CNN, BBC, and in publications such as The American Scholar, The Columbia Journalism Review, The Nation, The New York Times Magazine, Washington Post BookWorld, Fast Company, The Chronicle of Higher Education, BookForum, and Dissent.

Using VB 6 and Access 2003
Dim db As Database, tbl As TableDef
Set db = DBEngine.OpenDatabase(App.Path & "\txtdata.mdb")
Set tbl = db.CreateTableDef("Temp")
tbl.Connect = "Text;database=" & App.Path & "/ConvTemp/"
tbl.SourceTableName = strOutput & ".txt"
db.TableDefs.Append tbl
db.Execute "Select Temp.* into table1 from Temp"
db.TableDefs.Delete ("Temp")
Set tbl = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
MsgBox "File Converted Successfully", vbInformation
From the above code am converting a text file to mdb Database, The above code is working fine.
Am getting a text file from ConvTemp Folder. In that folder every 2 or 5 or 10 minute text file is creating with different names from the other software.
Every minute I want to update a table automatically, whenever the text file is newly created from the ConvTemp Folder.
For Example
ConvTemp Folder
The text file should update in the table1, then 101.txt should delete in the convTemp Folder.
After new file is appearing in ConvTemp Folder
This text file also should update in the table1, then 222.txt should delete in the convTemp Folder
So on…,
.txt file is appeared it will update in table1, then delete the txt file.
Updating in the table1, and deleting the text file automatically should do when I run the program.
How to write a code for updating automatically, delete the text file?
Need VB6 Code Help.

In this study, a model in a computer simulation uses a single current dipole in a spherical homogeneous medium. Dipole parameters are estimated using a moving dipole procedure. Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is defined as the square-root of the ratio of the average signal power to the average noise power over all measurement points. At SNR>20, accurate estimation can be carried out independently of dipole depth and coil size. At SNR<20, dipole depth influences estimation error. When the dipole is located near the center of the sphere, the measurement region should include both extrema of the magnetic field to minimize estimation error. However, when the dipole is not so deep, the position of the measurement region does not influence estimation error. When SNR<4, estimation error increases as coil size increases. Coil size minimizing estimation error is determined by the ratio of environmental magnetic field noise to electrical noise. For a constant size of measurement region, increasing the number of measurement points decreases estimation error to a certain level. This error level depends on SNR.
