Xbox 360 - Massive Shortages at Launch
on: November 14, 2005, 04:41:43 AM
You must 'remain present'? Does that mean you have to stay there from 10 in the morning until midnight, or does that mean you brings your ticket back at midnight and pick it up?

The 360 brand adapter costs 100 bucks whereas I could pick up an inexpensive wireless adaptor elsewhere if this works....

The Sony fanbois are getting more and more defensive.
Of course, they will have lots of time to do so since their alledged PS3 won't be available until 2007 or so.
By then they may not be able to rent or buy used games for their vaporware console.
Until then they can all infect their computers with Sony music CDs in a show of support for their Sony masters!
Who are you?

Theory on the Xbox 360 shortage?
on: November 08, 2005, 07:59:06 PM
There are plenty of conspiracy theories floating around.... so I thought I'd make up my own and see what you guys think.
I used to be a retail manager. On the day after Thanksgiving, our clothing retail outlet store would pull down around $20,000 of which roughly half was cash. Needless to say it was a big cash drop to make at the deposit box...and we'd have security escort us there.
Now fast forward to the 22nd. My local EB in Savannah Georgia has something around 250 preorders. At ~400 each (since the vast majority of them are NOT the core system) that is $100,000 worth of sales for a 48 hour period. If you consider that some of them are credit card payments, and some have been paid in advance (at least by $50 or more).... you are STILL going to have a VERY large amount of cash to drop for that 48 hour period. Enough in the eyes of this former retail manager to get nervous for the safety of your store and employees.
So I present this to you: In light of the article today proclaiming 3,000,000 units sold in the first 90 days -- what are the chances that the feedback to MS from a couple major retailers was that they wanted to spread this around a couple weeks to minimize the amount of cash that will be amassed in-store during that 48 hour period for secrurity and safety reasons? They still fill the preorders and get the cash...but the amount of in-store cash would be reduced for that period of time around the launch.
Just a wild thought. Opinions?

I called EB and made sure I could cancel my preorder in the event I find one on the street and still get my money back. They were VERY reluctant to say I could, but I pressed them and they admitted that I could.
I then walked next door to my neighbor's house (who is a manager at walmart), and he is going to pull up the number of units he's going to receive on Wednesday, and he's going to give me a heads up on when I should get there to get a unit.
He also gave me 5 pounds of processed deer sausage (YUMMY!!!!!)

Exactly. This manufacturing a shortage BS should backfire on them. If PS3 was within months of release I'd say screw MS and preorder from Sony.
So we believe this is a "manufactured" shortage? I, for one, don't. As everyone included MS has pounded into our heads time and time again their whole batteplan is based on getting a substantial headstart on Sony. You don't do that only putting out 500k or so for the entire Holiday season. While it may not be in their best interest to oversaturate the market, 250-300k for an
initial shipment
is absurdly low. Especially when the follow up shipment won't be until after Black Friday.
If preorders are unable to be filled and/or parents can't easily find systems for their children then MS runs a very real risk that funds earmarked for 360 will be transferred to other gifts before any followup shipments are available.
I'm guessing they have hit some snags with their manufacturing pipeline.
There is evidence that this is so...but I'm about to head out the door and so I'll post it tomorrow. It's all circumstantial, but evidence nonetheless.

Well, here's the skinny:
My local store is getting 32 units. I'm like 150th in line or something crazy like that -- and I've been preordered for a couple months.
The manager seemed to think that I would be able to get one before Christmas. My friend who preordered in early October was told it would likely be January before he got his.
I'm going to call my neighbor today and find out my local Walmart's launch plans.... I guess I'll be camping out on that night in hopes that I can get one.
Oh yeah: and this pisses me off. A big F U to Microsoft for this. My wife is going to be PISSED since this is my Christmas present from her. She's NOT going to be happy, and I fear she might make me cancel the preorder and just buy me something else. If that happens it's likely to be months before I get one... if at all.

It's time to kick my contingency plan into effect:
1. At lunch today I'm heading down to my EB to see if I made the cut. I preordered in late August. Something tells me I didn't
2. After finding out that I didn't make the cut, I will then go home today and approach my next door neighbor whom I have a great relationship with. He happens to be the Assistant Manager of my local Wal Mart. Hopefully he can hook me up.

I just watched the newly released Gears of War trailer last night, and was disappointed to see '2006' on the end of it. Great. Another title they have been pimping slips to next year. Is there going to be any GAMES out for this damned box for me to actually PLAY on Christmas day?

I just let them adjust themselves. They have already slid back a bit because it's getting darker later.... so I just let them adjust their bedtime a little during the changes. I usually try to go halfway in between for a few weeks.

Xbox 360 vs Playstation 3

360 for me
When both the PS2 and Xbox came out -- I was amazed by the Xbox's graphics and severely disappointed by the PS2's jagged craptasticness.
Sony also has a damn history of artifially inflating their pre-launch specs and such.... always pissing me off when the end product hits the shelves. I'm not a M$ fanboi, but I'm sick of Sony.
So there's my take!
[parenting] MY SON WILL NOT GO TO SLEEP
on: October 19, 2005, 08:39:51 PM
I have a 2 and a half year old and a new 4 month old.
Here's how we did the 2.5 year old when she was coming up:
I would put her in the crib and she would start crying when I left. She would cry for 45 minutes before going to sleep. I'd go in every 5 minutes to put her pacifier back in and make sure she knew I was not abandoning her. It was agony to hear her scream...but I HAD to do it. After 2 weeks the cry time went from 45 minutes to 2 minutes and then zero.
With Ethan, here is my plan (they are in bedrooms right NEXT to each other, so I too fear him waking her up):
I'm putting her bed on far side of her room away from his room. I'm putting him on far side of his room away from her room. I've got a white noise maker in both their rooms place directly between their beds and the wall that separates their rooms.
When I start the training I'm planning on his screaming for 45 minutes at first, and the possibility that it will wake her up. If it wakes her up I'll go into her room and tell her it's night night time and that daddy is trying to get her brother to go to sleep.
It might be a rough first week but I think he'll break as fast as she did.
I recommend the same strategy. Go in every 5 minutes to 10 minutes of his screaming and tell him 'NO! It's night night time.' put pacifier back in and leave. He will go from 45 minutes to 30 minutes to 10 minutes to 5, 2, zero. When he gets to zero I BET it helps with your midnight problems too..... when he wakes up he won't be as upset. I've always used the same tactic when my daughter wakes up at night btw -- she NEVER gets let out of her room at night. We go to her, fix what is wrong, and leave as quickly as possible. She sleeps like an angel at night now.... every now and then she calls out for us if she is thirsty or sometimes in her sleep when she's dreaming...... but that's it.
Edit to add some personal details:
My wife works 3-11pm so it's me SOLO at night. I did this all by myself.
Also: I set a CONCRETE bedtime that we strictly follow to make this work. Kids like order and structure -- they crave it. She KNOWS her bedtime is promptly at 7:30pm. She gets up at 6:30 to 7 am every day. No problems at all.

The downside is that I'll have to wait until December 25th for it.... but the upside I suppose is you guys will be able to report to me which games are worth buying (or asking for for Christmas).
Yes.... she preordered the Top O the Line one.... which I'm thankful for!
Now I'm very excited about this holiday season already! WOOT!
I'll be getting a bunch of launch games and will of course have full impressions of each one.
Ahhh! I remember way back during the build up to the first Xbox launch. You and I were Xbox staunch defenders together Hetz. Before the elections.... before the politics....
Remember that? Here we are again at long last. Back in the day my wife and I were newly married and lived in a small house an hour south of where I live now. I remember her watching in awe as I cranked up Halo for the first time.... she enjoyed just watching me play it.

My biggest beef is the hard drive.
It should be standard in all packages so that developers would all use it completely for making games the best they can be. If that means the low end would be 350 or something... so be it.
I think Microsoft had a genuine opportunity to really start eating into Sony's market share here.... and just even the PERCEIVED controversy about this is going to hurt the chances.
You know as well as I do how fickle internet geeks are.... you know how an internet firestorm of false information can hurt a product or a person. This firestorm is nobody's fault but Microsoft. It's self created -- had they only had a more expensive starting price but all 360's equipped with a Hard drive this never would have happened.
I can't believe MS is making mistakes I think are ironically very reminisent of a company they beat years ago for making the same mistakes -- Apple.

Xbox 360 Pre-Release Thread
on: August 18, 2005, 12:52:34 PM
Quote from: "Nick Bean"
Game companies are sick of losing money on their consoles. I can't understand how any one can knock Microsoft for the $399 price. They aren't short changing anyone, they are just trying to give people more options by offering the $299 version.
If Sony releases the PS3 for less than $400 I will be shocked. Not only that, but just think about how much money they can potentially lose if they price the PS3 at $400. There is the system, the built in wireless adapter, the Hi-Def dvd, and I have heard that they are also considering an optional hard drive. I wouldn't be mad at Sony if the PS3 started at $600 dollars with all the crap they are putting in it.
Then there is Nintendo, and I wouldn't be suprised at all if the Revolution was only (ha only) $200. Yet they have catches too, charging to download all the games for one, and the other is that for that price, their machine just won't be able to do what the other two can. I know that it is all about the "game play", but if they don't improve the tech, they can't improve the gameplay.
People might not understand or like what Microsoft has done, but they have just opened gamers eyes to the $400 console price tag. It's kind of funny, because they totally took the burden off of Sony.
You are smoking something, right? Weed? Crack? Something like that?
I thought so. I could BUILD a damned fully functional powerful computer for $600... but you'd be willing to purchase a console with tons of restrictions and proprietary CRAP for $600?
No thanks. You and about 10 other guys will have to enjoy that console yourselves.

I am only looking for girls that are coachable and that puts this game first, If you have other things going on that takes you away from the team I would not be interested, in other words if you come aboard I expect you to be there and give 110%. I know this sounds alittle harsh but I need players that is committed as I am. If interested please call or text ASAP. Thanks

text: international journalism Journalist Thom Shanker Makes Case For Managing, Mitigating Inevitable Terrorist Attacks By Suzette Grillot & Brian Hardzinski • May 5, 2016 Cherie Cullen / U.S. Department of Defense Thom Shanker took a job as the Pentagon correspondent for The New York Times in May 2001. Four months later hijackers crashed American Airlines Flight 77 into the western wall of the building during the September 11 attacks, and he spent the next 14 years covering the war on terror. Letter to Secretary Kerry from 25 news editors around the country By Isabel Lara • Jan 8, 2016 The letter below calling for the release of Jason Rezaian was sent January 8, 2016. Dear Secretary Kerry: Journalism is not a crime. Yet Washington Post journalist Jason Rezaian has been imprisoned by Iran since July 2014 for doing his job. Iran has never offered any evidence that even makes a pretense of justifying this imprisonment. We know you agree that Iran should release Jason and on behalf of our organizations and journalists around the world, we are writing to urge you to maintain your efforts to forge a path to that release. World Views: May 29, 2015 By Suzette Grillot, Rebecca Cruise & Brian Hardzinski & Sam Des Prez • May 29, 2015 Listen Listening... / 23:30 Listen to the entire May 29, 2015 episode. Rebecca Cruise and Suzette Grillot discuss the former military dictator who's about to take over for Goodluck Jonathan as Nigeria's new president, and two dozen looted religious artifacts recently returned to Italy. Then, Rebecca talks with war photographer Ashley Gilbertson. His most recent book, Bedrooms of the Fallen, depicts the homes of men and women who died in Iraq and Afghanistan to remember how they lived, rather than how they died. Photographing And Humanizing War From Bedrooms To The Battlefield By Rebecca Cruise & Sam Des Prez • May 26, 2015 Ashley Gilbertson / Bedrooms of the Fallen, University of Chicago Press When Ashley Gilbertson was 13 years old, his parents bought him his first camera to photograph himself and his friends skateboarding. A year later, his photos were published in a skateboarding magazine. "That feeling of seeing something happen, take a photograph of it, and then see it in a magazine … [it] was totally addictive. It's magical," said Gilbertson, who grew from photographing skateboarding to become a war photographer. Ex-Washington Post Journalist Recounts Abu Ghraib, Close Call With Al-Qaeda Kidnappers By Suzette Grillot & Sam Des Prez • Apr 16, 2015 Provided / Jackie Spinner Listen Listening... / 23:30 Listen to the entire April 17, 2015 episode. In 2003, the Associated Press issued its report on human rights abuses taking place at the U.S.-held Abu Ghraib prison. Jackie Spinner was at the prison a year later to report on the story for The Washington Post when she was nearly kidnapped by Al-Qaeda members. "It was June 14, 2004. It's a day I'll never forget," Spinner said. The event inspired the title for her 2006 book about her experiences reporting in Iraq during the war, Tell Them I Didn't Cry. World Views: March 13, 2015 By Brian Hardzinski, Suzette Grillot & Rebecca Cruise • Mar 13, 2015 Listen Listening... / 22:30 Listen to the entire March 13, 2015 episode. Rebecca Cruise and Suzette Grillot talk about racism and bigotry in a global context in light of this week's events involving the University of Oklahoma's chapter of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Then journalist and activist Hannah Storm from the International News Safety Institute explains about how much protection correspondents can reasonably expect as modern warfare evolves. Shining A Light On The Dangers Journalists Face In The Field By Suzette Grillot & Sam Des Prez • Mar 11, 2015 YouTube On February 28, Ukranian journalist Sergei Nikolayev died shortly after being taken to a hospital for wounds sustained in an artillery attack in the Donetsk region of Ukraine. It's just one recent example of the extreme danger journalists face every day around the globe. Satirists Go Serious in 'Foxcatcher' And 'Rosewater' — And It Works By Bob Mondello • Nov 14, 2014 What do you get when you mix big-deal comedians with real-life calamities? Sounds like a joke, but Steve Carell and Jon Stewart are answering that question this week in their movies Foxcatcher and Rosewater. And it turns out, seriousness suits them. NPR's Kelly McEvers Drafts History, Documents Her Own Story In Syria By Brian Hardzinski & Suzette Grillot & Matt Addison & Molly Evans • Oct 18, 2013 Glen Carey Listen Listening... / Listen to the October 18, 2013 episode, with Suzette Grillot's conversation with NPR correspondent Kelly McEvers. Kelly McEvers spent three years based in Baghdad and Beirut covering the Middle East for NPR. She started her assignment with instructions not to miss a day in Iraq as the 2011 U.S. troop withdrawal deadline approached. "Then in late 2010, a guy set himself on fire in Tunisia, and everything changed," McEvers told KGOU's World Views host Suzette Grillot. "I was swept up with millions of other people in this thing called the Arab Spring." Reporting On The Middle East: Syria And Egypt After The Arab Spring By Brian Hardzinski • Oct 14, 2013 Joe Wertz / StateImpact Oklahoma NPR assigned correspondent Kelly McEvers to Iraq in 2010 with instructions not to miss a day ahead of the expected troop withdrawal by the end of 2011. "Then in late 2010, a young man in Tunisia set himself on fire, and literally changed everything," McEvers says. "At first I was watching it on TV in Baghdad, sitting there thinking, 'Do we really have to stay in Baghdad? C'mon, you know? Put me in coach!' asking to be sent out on the stories."

Where can I download the CSS file for the blorange found at http://www.alexking.org/software/wordpress/styles/sample.php?wpstyle=blorange?
I am a new a newbies. I have not even installed the application yet :-).
Curious George
@anon - click the download link under the name of the style ?
Great Job!
I tried it out in Firefox and it was fine, but in IE 6.0 the "archives" title overlaps with the "search" button.
yeah... but i can do that much fix in the index myself :)...
or maybe increase some padding somewhere in the css file! :)
My intention was to let the developer know there was a problem, I really dont intend to use the layout.
actually i am intending to use it :)
Sushubh: Not everyone intending to use it might be savvy enough to fix it themselves, and the least we savvy folks can do is inform the developer of any changes we had to make to make it look/work fine.
what did i say... :)
i just said yeah i confirm there is a bug. and i think i can fix it for my own use... :D
alex did that for us :)
Righto! The job is done. Actually, I was too lazy to figure out how to rectify it and then leave a message, which you did :P

Pakistan were 107 for three at tea on the fifth and final day as their chances to win the third and final Test faded away in Sharjah on Monday.
Set a daunting 302 to win in a maximum of 59 overs, Pakistan lost Ahmed Shehzad (21), Khurram Manzoor (21) and Younis Khan (29) as they were left to score another 195 in the remaining 35 overs or bat out for a draw.
Azhar Ali (29) and Sarfraz Ahmed (seven) were at the crease.
The likely draw will mean Sri Lanka take the three-match series 1-0 after winning the second Test in Dubai by nine wickets. The first Test ended in a draw in Abu Dhabi.
Sri Lanka were dismissed for 214 in their second innings.
Left arm spinner Abdul Rehman was the pick of the bowlers with 4-56, while paceman Mohammad Talha had figures of 3-65 and Saeed Ajmal took 3-53.

Stranger rescues Barmah man from burning house
Barmah's Lance James lost his house in a fire last Wednesday, but escaped with his life after a man visiting his neighbour dragged him out of harm's way.MONIQUE PRESTON November 30, 2012 4:56am
Barmah's Lance James says he feels lucky to be alive after being rescued from his burning house by a neighbour's friend last Wednesday.
Lance James believes he would not be alive if it wasn't for a man he barely knows pulling him out of his burning house moments before it completely went up in flames.
Mr James' story of what happened on Wednesday night last week is a haunting one.
The 64-year-old had fallen asleep in the recliner chair in the loungeroom of his home in Lawford St, Barmah, some time after returning home from visiting a friend about 10.30pm.
''I sat down and watched TV for a while. Then I dozed off,'' Mr James said.
When he was woken by the shrill sound of the smoke detector, Mr James said his house was a ''haze of smoke''.
He watched as the fire moved from one bedroom to another, before it headed towards where he was.
''I got down to the floor and crawled. I thought I would be able to get to the front door and it would open, but it was jammed. It seized.''
Mr James said he tried opening the door for what seemed like about one or two minutes before it finally opened.
''The fire went out (the door) over my head about six feet (180cm) in front of me in a ball,'' he said.
Still close to the ground, Mr James collapsed in the doorway, with half his body still inside the house, and half outside.
''I had nothing left. By that time I had all my oxygen used up and no strength.
''I wouldn't have been able to get out of the doorway.''
Mr James was pulled out of the doorway by a man he only knows as 'Jock', who was visiting his next-door neighbour and had just happened to step outside as the house went up.
''He pulled me out. He could just see the top half of my body,'' Mr James said.
''It (the fire) was on the way to the door. It was only seconds from me.
''Another half a minute and Jock wouldn't be able to get to me. It would have been too hot.
''He pulled me out and said I was starting to cook.
''If he hadn't have walked outside, I wouldn't be here today to tell the story. I wouldn't have been able to get out the doorway.''
Mr James said the house went up fast.
''From the time Jock pulled me out, in only two minutes, it was all alight,'' he said.
''I saw it after they dragged me away. The house was gone.''
With the Barmah fire station only three properties away from Mr James' house, firefighters were on the scene fast, but there was little they could do.
Mr James was pulled away from the fire, with neighbours and firefighters administering first-aid as the fire razed his heritage-listed home.
''I was having convulsions with the smoke,'' he said.
''They were towelling me down and putting water on me and they put a wet sponge in my mouth.''
Jock, along with neighbours he knows as Hippie and Irene and Barmah firefighter Margy Derby, stayed with Mr James until the ambulance arrived.
He remained in Echuca hospital until he returned home to Barmah on Saturday morning.
Mr James has since caught up with Jock, a man he previously only knew to say hello to because he was friends with his neighbour.
''He was overcome with emotion as much as I was,'' Mr James said of their reunion.
''I'll be forever indebted to him for saving my life.''
Mr James is also relieved he had a working smoke detector in his house.
''I had only just changed the battery with (the start of) daylight saving,'' he said.
''I thought about it (changing the battery or not) for a while.
''But then I jumped up on the table and did it.
''I'm a heavy sleeper, I probably would have slept right through it otherwise.''
With his house now just a pile of burnt rubble, Mr James has been staying with neighbour and friend, Leon Atkinson, who lives across the road.
His house was insured and he has no plans to leave Barmah, his home of 18 years.
''I want to rebuild. I love the community and Barmah itself, '' he said.
Mr James plans to live in a caravan in Mr Atkinsons' backyard while his own home is rebuilt.
It is the help from the community that Mr James has appreciated, both on the night of the fire and since returning to Barmah.
''People have been fantastic,'' he said.
''I've got everybody's clothes on (as all of mine were destroyed).
''Certainly the Barmah Fire Brigade was fantastic. And the neighbours, you couldn't ask for any better.
''I'm grateful to everyone that I'm here to tell the story — that I'm alive.''
A grief and trauma counsellor at Mooroopna's Rumbalara Medical Centre, Mr James said his job had helped him cope in the aftermath of the fire.
''My job helped me to understand what shock and trauma is and how it affects you,'' he said.
''It's helped me to recover probably more quickly.''
''I think telling your story always helps.''

I'm trying to understand how to use GIT with XCode 4.2.
I haven't been using GIT actively, but while I was walking through a couple of git operations mentioned in this link it appears that I have a single repository with many projects in it and a recent project in a repository all by itself.
I want to carefully take the project I am currently working on and put it into its own repository so I can safely leverage some of the branching capabilities.
I'm hesitant to begin until I have a better understanding of what's going on. I'd like to know how much is handled within XCode and what I have to do at the command line.

Objective To study the impact of policy and contractual changes on community pharmacy ownership in England. Setting North West of England. Method Twenty nine male pharmacists were interviewed between September 2007 and February. 2008. The study involved semi-structured face to face interviews with theoretically sampled respondents. Data were analysed using the constant comparative method. Main outcome measure English community pharmacists' opinions and experiences. Results Practice ownership attracted some respondents to pharmacy as a career. Respondents considered that a combination of legislative and policy changes in combination with contractual alterations had decreased the profitability of independent pharmacy businesses. Additionally, it seemed that community pharmacy corporate groups were able to out bid individual pharmacists for community pharmacy businesses. A proportion of respondents had sold community pharmacy businesses recently, in some cases in response to contractual and policy changes. Some considered that the declining proportion of independent pharmacies was likely to limit patient choice as well as affecting the profession. Some felt this made pharmacy a less attractive career choice. Conclusion It seems that recent policy and contractual changes have favoured the multiple community pharmacy sector in England, resulting in a declining proportion of independent community pharmacies. Policy makers must consider the far reaching consequences of this for pharmacists, the profession and patient choice.

There was a time during my first pregnancy that maternity swim wear was relegated to a swath of dull and unflattering colors, a one-size-fits all mentality, where suits were a function over form design. This need not be the case anymore. As a matter of fact, today's modern maternity swimwear is comfortable, cute and for under $100, very cost-effective.
My wonderful sister-in-law, Jen, wrote this post for us today! She writes over at On The Night You Were Born, she has three beautiful girls, and she's super awesome. Show her some love for me!
Long before we had three kids, I remember saying to my cousin (who's like my sister), "I have what I think must be the perfect job situation — I work part-time, my kids aren't even home when I work, and yet I still can't find time for some things. Other moms work full-time, and still have to cook and clean and do laundry and all the same things that I do. How on earth would I do it all if I had to work full-time when I can't even do it all now working part-time! Something would have to give, but I don't know what!"

"Why is it, Joe, that you are always the one to find the body?"
On a lovely moonlit night, while carrying a gift of mice to a litter of kittens, Joe Grey stumbles upon a murder scene. Behind an empty house, in an empty swimming pool, there's blood, the smell of human death, and drag marks. But there's no victim--and it's hard to prove a crime without a corpse.
Driven by stubborn feline curiosity, Joe Grey sets out to investigate. With Dulcie and Kit following him along a killer's trail, Joe discovers evidence of conflict among the residents of this seemingly peaceful neighborhood--multiple signs of breaking-and-entering, with nothing of value stolen. And they find something far worse: hints of violence yet to come . . . and more planned murder.
With the help of two local ferals, Joe, Kit, and Dulcie must now thwart a killer using the most unorthodox means at their disposal: a criminal's unnatural yet powerful fear of cats.
About the Author
Shirley Rousseau Murphy writes the popular Joe Grey mystery series and is a noted children s book author who has received five Dixie Council of Authors and Journalists Awards. She lives in Carmel, a village which inspires the charm for Molena Point
Praise For…
-Publishers Weekly

-Kirkus Reviews
"Joe continues to be one of the most entrancing (and effective) detectives in modern cozy mysteries."

Today directed random simulation is one of the most commonly used verification techniques. Because this technique in no proof of correctness, it is important to test the design as complete as possible. But this is a hard to reach goal, that needs a lot of computing power and much human interaction. There has been a proposal for using Bayesian networks to implement an automatic feedback loop (Shai Fine et al, 40th Design Automation Conference, 2003). In addition, this paper introduces another implementation of an automatic feedback loop using data mining techniques. Both approaches are applied to the same design and the results are compared.

Two months after Miles and Catharine were married, the child of Miles and Hannah died during delivery. Hannah blamed herself.
"I felt I had caused it by doing so much hard work," Hannah wrote.
Nearly four years later, Miles married again, taking as his wife Annie M. Woodbury, a schoolteacher.
Miles's life in St. George with Hannah, Catharine and Annie briefly settled into a comfortable, devout routine. But church leaders in Salt Lake City intervened, devising a plan to plant Mormon communities in an arc throughout the West. Miles was told by church leaders to uproot his family and help settle the town of St. Johns, Ariz.
The journey of almost 500 miles was harrowing, requiring the wagon trains to skirt the northern rim of the Grand Canyon.
"Here you can see the river hundreds of feet below you winding its way between perpendicular banks of solid rock without a tree to be seen and devoid of vegetation," Catharine wrote her parents, as quoted in a volume compiled by her great-granddaughter, titled, "Letters of Catharine Cottam Romney, Plural Wife."
Finally, the Romneys arrived in St. Johns. It was a sparsely settled town, a Wild West amalgamation of gun-toting farmers and laborers, including American Indians and Mexicans, who were especially resentful of new settlers such as the Mormons. The local newspaper, the Apache Chief, urged on May 30, 1884, that "the shotgun and rope" be used to get rid of Mormon settlers.
"Hang a few of their polygamist leaders such as ... Romney ... and a stop will be put to it," the newspaper said.
Catharine began to fear her surroundings, writing, "I believe there are some as wicked people here as can be found anywhere on the footstool of God."
The tensions accelerated as local authorities sought to try Romney on charges of polygamy. To avoid prosecution, Miles sent Catharine and Annie into hiding.
But authorities brought new charges, alleging that Miles lied about having title to his land. One night, a marshal arrived at the Romney home after midnight, demanding that Miles surrender."The marshal had a gun in one hand and handcuffs in the other," Hannah wrote.
A colony in Mexico
Miles fled to Utah, where he was told by church leaders "to go to Old Mexico and build a city of refuge for the people that would have to go there on account of persecutions of polygamy," Hannah wrote. Miles agreed and decided it was safest to go with only one of his wives, Annie. He left behind Hannah and Catharine and their children, hoping they would reunite in the coming months.
After weeks of travel, Miles reached a vantage point in the Mexican mountains.
Gazing upon a valley that extended for miles on the banks of the Piedras Verdes River, Miles Romney saw mesquite and cactus carpeting the flatlands, with stands of scrub oak shading the riverbanks. The valley floor was 5,000 feet high, providing a climate cool enough to support peach and apple trees. Beyond brown hills, the towering, pine-covered peaks of the Sierra Madre curtained the valley, catching the winter snows that would provide ample water for irrigation. This would be the colony of Juarez Colonia Juarez.
At first, Miles was desperately poor and responsible for an enormous family. He lived out of a wagon, and then a crude hut.
On Dec. 27, 1885, shortly after helping establish the colony, Miles despaired of his plight. He feared federal marshals might come to Mexico to arrest him. He was uncertain about the fate of Hannah and Catharine.
"I sometimes think that I am only an injury now to both my family and my friends," Miles wrote to Catharine's brother Thomas. "I have borrowed my friends' money, and my family receive no support from me, and the prospect ahead seems as black as midnight darkness."

Prices for oil and gasoline have turned lower over the past week while crude oil is approaching the $100 per barrel level again.
The U.S. Energy Department reports the average cost for diesel has given up 2.1 cents over the past week, registering $3.817 per gallon.
This is the sixth consecutive week it has moved lower and the largest during the time, declining a little more than 7 cents since the last weekly increase on May 20.
Compared to the same week in 2012, diesel is 16.9 cents per gallon higher, but it's currently at its lowest level since late July of last year.
Diesel prices dropped in all parts of the country, ranging from a low of $3.731 in the Lower Atlantic sub-region of the East Coast region, down 2.7 cents from a week ago, to a high of $3.971 in the New England sub-region of the East Coast region, down 1.3 cents.
Gasoline prices recorded the fourth straight weekly drop, falling 8.1 cents over the past week for a U.S. average of $3.496.
Like diesel, prices for gasoline fell in all parts of the country. It ranges from a low of $3.312 in the Gulf Coast region, down 6.5 cents over the past week, to a high of $3.892 in the West Coast region, down 5.6 cents.
Compared to the same time a year ago gasoline is 14 cents per gallon higher, but it at its lowest level since late January.
As for oil it picked up $1.43 in New York trading on Monday, settling at $97.99 per barrel, its highest closing prices since June 19. Over the past week it has gained nearly $3 and is 5.2% higher for the first half of this year.

Strap in, this is gonna be a long one...
My take is this: We as CCW'ers/students of self-defense are already pessimistic people...we arm ourselves and [hopefully] train to deal with a situation that is statistically unlikely to ever occur.
For example, according to the FBI UCR's, in 2006 there were an estimated 1,417,745 violent crimes (Murder, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault). Roughly, that means that there is 1 violent crime per year for every 211 people. In other words, overall, you have about a 1/2% chance of being the victim of a violent crime (obviously this is the overall average, living in a major metro-area vs. a rural area will affect this).
Now obviously, I'm not saying that we don't need to be prepared, far from it. The problem as I see it is that oftentimes, many people choose to assume that if they're the targeted as the victim of a violent crime, that they will still be able to prevail with sub-optimal equipment (or I guess sub-sub-optimal since pistols are anemic little weapons). and training. That is, if they're involved in a statistically unlikely event, the event will play out in the "average" fashion. To me this doesn't make a whole lot of sense...anyone ever hear of Murphy's Law?
In this thread I've already seen comments like "the average incident is resolved with only 2 or 3 rounds being fired." Well, maybe so, but what if you're involved in one of the incidents where 2 or 3, or even 6 or 7 rounds doesn't do the job. It is not really that uncommon to hear of incidents where the BG had to be hit with 10 rounds or more. If all you're carrying is a 5-shot snubbie, you're S.O.L. at that point.
Many (probably most) people that train for self-defense, whether it's with a firearm or in some form of martial-arts, are guilty of training for the "Lowest Common Denominator" or the "average" attacker. As a martial-arts student and instructor, I've seen many people that want to assume that their training is adequate. Furthermore, it seems that most train with the idea that their attacker is going to be less skilled than they are and thay their super-duper kung-foo moves are going to allow them to prevail against just about anybody. The same flawed mindset is found with "gun people" (or, to borrow a phrase from Brownie, "guncentric" people) Many CCW'ers assume (notice my repeated use of that word ) that the BG is not going to be as skilled and/or that 5-shot snubby is going to be adequate to handle any situation.
What these two groups have in common is this: they have constructed their own mental picture of what "the fight" is going to look like and they are allowing that picture to dictate their equipment choices and training. The fact that "the fight" may, in reality, bear no resemblance whatsoever to their mental picture is just an inconvienance to be ignored.
With martial-artists specifically, many times it's also that they just don't want to get in there and do the work (real, effective training is going to require some sweat)...they want a cute technique that will "stop the BG in his tracks" with a minimum of effort on their part.
Among the "guncentric" crowd, I think it's often a matter of convienance. They carry a J-frame or Kel-tec as their primary because they're comfortable and easy to carry even though neither weapon is really ideal. To quote one instructor: "small guns are great to carry but they suck to fight with." Now if you're one of those that carry such a weapon because their situation dictates such a choice (i.e. the need for absolute concealment), so be it...you do what you gotta do.
---here's where I get in trouble and stomp on people's toes---
On the other hand there are those, as I mentioned above, that carry such a weapon as a matter of convienance because carrying a decent-sized auto (for example, a compact with 10-15 round capacity) with a spare mag is "uncomfortable." Then make statements like "gunfights end with 2 or 3 shots," or "if ya can't do it with 5/6, you shouldn't be carrying a gun." IMO, these people are oftentimes just trying to rationalize and justify their poor equipment choice by quoting statistics that should, AFAIC, have no real bearing on our equipment and training choices.
Okay, I'm shutting up now...By all means, prepare to defend yourself, but don't waste your time preparing for the "average incident" or the lowest common denominator.
