My condolences. I worked there for 7 years and was glad when I got out.
Trade secrets:
- They get their sales flyer two weeks in advance, at least when I was there 3 years ago.
- If a game system is going to be advertised in the sales flyer they stock pile them to make sure they have more than 3 on Sunday.
- When a sale item runs out they have to check the following week's sales flyer to make sure what they are going to substitute it with is not going on sale the following week.
- Front end caps without sale prices are designed to be impulse buys.
Electrical Contractor trade secrets:
- For small jobs labor makes up the bulk of the quote and final bill
- Anything added after the project is started is charged as an extra, which means you pay more for that part of the job
- Service calls get charged a minimum of 1 hr labor, even if it only takes them 5 min to replace that switch
- If the electrician is pulled off another job for a service call, which normally happens, the drive time is figured into bill. The contractor will pull the electrician closest to the service call to keep the bill down though.

1. There is no "training." In fact, there is no orientation or any teaching at all. You sign up, you wear the uniform, and you have to figure the rest of it out for yourself.
2. This means keys, lock scheduling, etc. are not disclosed to you. You must walk the halls and learn what opens what and by trial and error learn when to open crap.
3. Getting it wrong means you get torn a new one, so pay sharp attention.
4. You are lowest on the corporate totem pole, below the janitors
Sysadmin / Managed hosting environment / Ops Engineer
1. Customers always assume you keep track of what they do, and will in fact prevent them from foolishly opening their server to the world. We don't. If you screw it up, we won't stop you or check on you until there's a fire.
2. #1 really is not really our fault. Check the contract. We cannot protect you from your stupidity.

Secret? We mess up things alot. Not just the amateurs, alot of pros have little screw ups.
one time someone asked me to replace a set of tuners for a fair price. so i did it. i was inspecting it a night or two before he came and picked it up and realized there was a super deep scratch in the clear-coat on the back of the headstock. Of course i thought i had done it so i spent about 3-4 hours fixing it, making it like it never happened.
guy comes to pick it up, and says "WOW! you even fixed that huge scratch i put in it!"

Secret: In hockey we only make about 30 - 40% mark up on items that we purchase from the manufacturer, In shoes our mark-up goes as high as 750%
in clothing mark-up can sit around 200 - 400% and in Under Armour, once I saw a jacket with a 915% mark up.
Super Secrete: When I ask you "Hey whats up?" Im not making a mind transfer sales pitch, Im actually asking you how your days going. Im a person too.
illegal secret: We are not allowed to say anything if we see or catch you stealing. You can take us to court for "potential false accusation" and it costs more in fee's to prove you wrong then to fire us. So we just get fired to keep public image.
Super duper store secret: Ask the Employee's who works there for the person who knows all the technical stuff, chances are that person also knows all the Great items for the price, from the manufacturer recycling stuff into new products:
ie the Bauer Total One 60's are 199.99 Canadian, they have the same boot as the 299.99 Vapor X30, the same Runner and holder as the skates at 699.99 from two years ago, and the same hydrophobic liner as the 499.99 Supreme from 2008.
our store has them on sale for 179.99.
You can't tell me thats not a fantastic deal and a half.

I get a lot of compliments on this particular piece, although I wear it with several other silver bracelets. The bracelet is thick and the sound of the "bells" are subtle. The bracelet does have a tendency to slip around your wrist so that the bells are on top, which still look nice, but I wanted the engraved fish design to show, so I simply adjusted the bracelet by squeezing it a little tighter. This is a great bracelet.
Beautiful bracelets I purchased 2 and they have 2 little bells that give a little jingle just enough. Just beautiful, great for a gift and one of a kind look. Very pleased.

Pensions: Flat Rate Set For 2017 Introduction
Details of a radical shake-up of the state pension are due to be unveiled by the Government on Monday.
A single flat rate, equivalent to around £144 in today's money, is expected to be introduced for new pensioners from 2017, to try to simplify the system.
Some six million workers will face higher National Insurance payments in future as the practice of "contracting out" the state second pension to employers is ended.
Those affected are expected to include more than a million private sector staff enrolled in final salary schemes, and an estimated five million public sector workers.
However, it is not clear how many will lose out overall as they are likely to receive a higher state pension than before.
Funds and firms could also alter their schemes and contribution levels to take account of the shift.
Some groups - such as women who have taken career breaks to have children and the self-employed - will benefit.
The Department for Work and Pensions confirmed that the White Paper is being published on Monday.
Iain Duncan Smith and Steve Webb, his Liberal Democrat deputy at the Department for Work and Pensions, are believed to have overcome Treasury concerns to get final sign-off for the policy.
Pensions expert Malcolm McLean, from Barnett Waddingham, said: "The concept of a single, simpler-to-understand state pension pitched at a level that lifts as many people as possible off means testing and encourages them to save privately to give themselves a better standard of living in their later years is very desirable if not essential in a society such as ours with an ageing population."
But he warned: "The task of bringing together the various diverse components that currently collectively make up state pension provision was never going to be easy and it is inevitable that there will be some losers as well as winners in the process of change."

Our appeals
26 February 2007
Fewer than 50 people have walked on this unspoilt land in the last century
Image: Ben Hall
The landmark purchase of Sutton Fen was made possible by the generosity of RSPB supporters who donated money to our appeal launched in late October 2006, together with a grant of £465,300 from the Tubney Charitable Trust, £50,000 from the Garfield Weston Foundation and two very substantial legacies bequeathed to the RSPB.
These fantastic donations have enabled us to secure this site for nature conservation and for future generations to enjoy.
The RSPB has been waiting for the chance to acquire habitat in the Broads of this quality for at least 20 years. In the past, wetland like this covered large swathes of eastern England. Today, after drainage for agriculture, industry and tourism, it is confined to a few small pockets in the landscape.
Rare and fascinating birds once common in the countryside, like bitterns, bearded tits, and common cranes, all use Sutton Fen.
For them to remain a part of our natural heritage, and for species like the swallowtail butterfly, Norfolk hawker dragonfly, otter and water vole, we must protect the habitats they depend on.
Now thanks to you, we have the chance to protect this pristine natural heritage forever as a tranquil oasis of wetland wilderness, full of rare and endangered wildlife in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the modern day Broads. Under the stewardship of the RSPB, the 170 hectares at Sutton Fen will be an important part of a network of protected wetland habitats, vital to the survival of some of Britain's most treasured, and most endangered species.
You have already made a difference - but your contribution will continue to make a lasting difference to the nation's wetland natural heritage for years to come.
There is much work to be done at Sutton Fen and we need to raise an additional £75,000 over the next the three years, to manage the new nature reserve for wildlife and future generations to enjoy.
We would like to say a sincere thank you to all of you who have supported this project so far.
For the sake of all of the wildlife that depends on this special habitat, please help the RSPB to protect Sutton Fen.
Donating online is easy and ensures that more of your money is used for conservation.
Our Membership Services team can also take donations over the phone.

Tennessee walking horses still a sore spot — literally
It was time 40 yrs ago. The Big Lick is something that never should have happened. It has turned a lovely breed into a pariah. When I tell people my horse is a TWH people look at me like I'm a monster. My horse is barefoot and totally natural. All folks think of is the tortured BL horse and their creepy hunchbacked riders. Time for the USDA to end it. The horses shouldn't have to go another day.

Walking horse poll pans use of pads
They tried letting the walking horse industry police itself. It became a big farce. The bill is much needed or the walking horse will remain the pariah of the horse world. The bill is a starting point and that starting point is where the abuse is the worst.
Time to evolve people!

la condesa on 2nd st
- r
- reina_de_fideo Feb 19, 2009 08:10 AM
my usual bike route to work took me past lambert's last week and i saw, across the street from it, some interesting-looking construction happening... and today i biked by and saw that same construction had come quite a ways, and is going to be a new restaurant called la condesa. i have to say i get excited about interesting decor/interiors almost as much as i do about good food, so i was really happy to see that we're going to have another place to eat that's as pretty to look at as lamberts.
looks like they already had their soft opening (last night?)
despite the annoying review above that doesn't tell us much about the food, i'm excited to check it out. anyone know anything about this? any 'hounders invited to the soft opening and have sneak preview insight?
any 'hounders wanna try to have a small-ish group dinner (or lunch) there sometime?
Their website just says opening in February, but no menu listed yet. Looking forward to hearing about this place.
I'm a line cook in that neighborhood, and some of the managers from La Condesa have been stopping in our place--make a long story short, word is they are extremely nice, put off a very positive vibe, even making nice with one of the dishwashers (who are usually treated like untouchables by upper management in the trade). I understand they've had the kitchen running for a few weeks now.
As our posting guidelines explain:
"We don't allow reviews of "soft open" or "friends and family nights", which are held for a select group prior to the restaurant's opening to the general public. These nights represent either the restaurant pulling out all the stops to impress for a smaller than usual crowd or the time when a restaurant is still working out the kinks and not expecting public review. They won't usually accurately represent the actual experience of dining at the restaurant once it's fully open for business."
We've removed some reports about the soft opening meal and ask hounds to refrain from reporting until the restaurant is fully open to the public.
re: The Chowhound Team
They opened to the public last night. We walked by on the way to Lamberts. Didn't look too crowded at 6:30 but I'm guessing they'll be swamped for a bit. They are taking reservations on Open Table. I'm not terribly excited by another upscale Mexican place downtown (Manuals, Maria Maria, Cantina Laredo) but maybe they'll be different and interesting. I sure wouldn't have thought I'd still be enjoying Lambert's fancy barbecue years later either.
I stopped by yesterday to verify some things I had heard, and it seems that they are going to begin serving lunch next Monday, and then the first brunch will be on Sunday the 8th of March. After that, the brunch will be on both Sat. and Sunday. Didn't have a chance to eat anything yet, but the place looks very cool. It seems that they are focusing on cocktails, so I'm sure I'll visit soon, if just for a drink.
Went here for dinner last week. What a drag. One of my dinner companions said it reminded her of the LA scene. I thought of Dallas. It's a place packed with people trying to impress one another. Fake breasts falling out of skimpy dresses, stiletto heels, shirts with chest hair coming out, and men donning gold jewelry. Where did this come from? Is this the scene in Austin now? Were all these people tired of Pangaea this night? Well, so there's a club upstairs and I guess that's the crowd they attract. So obviously La Condesa will have the same crowd.
As a side note, apparently there is a place in Dallas that's called La Condesa. Are these two places owned by the same management? Maybe this explains some things.
The bar was overly crowded with lots of people trying to look important and impress one another. Expect to have to fight your way to the bar. And if you don't look the part, expect to be passed over for someone who does when trying to order a drink. Drinks, by the way, are on the expensive side, but they have a pretty nice selection – especially of tequila. They also have a nice menu of different specialty/mixed cocktails.
The food at La Condesa is good but expensive. I don't think the restaurant justifies the price they charge, even though there were no complaints with the quality or taste of anything ordered (ceviche, taquitos, pork belly entrée with jicama/bacon side). I think my biggest complaint with the food was that the portions are TINY, especially the appetizers. (It's a bummer because all the appetizers have very interesting descriptions and sound like they would be wonderful shared.) If you are a female and are watching your portion sizes, then you will be okay with the quantity. Otherwise, you'll have to spend a lot in order to leave satisfied . . . Am I wrong in my thinking here that if I spend $12 on two tacquitos, I want one that is bigger than three inches long? I don't think this is being cheap, but I feel like this is what's expected in Austin unless you market yourself as upscale or fine dining.
After being so disappointed with the experience, by the time I was eating the food, I couldn't help but look longingly over towards Lambert's (continuously) wishing I had chosen to eat there instead.
re: italyvespa
Thanks, for the reminder. I meant to post about our visit this past weekend. We were heading to Jo's for dinner but got distracted by their menu. It is a very different menu than the other places I mention above and for that I'm glad. Any other place in town serving friend crickets?
I won't go too into decor but while we thought the bar scene was very Dallas, the rest of the restaurant was no different than others downtown--plenty of jeans and flip-flops. My annoyance is with the booths. the table legs were majorly in the way and it seemed cramped. We kept kicking each others feet. Next time we'll request a table.
Anyway, the menu though ambitious didn't wow liked I'd hoped. We had one of the "flatbread" apps with crab, the pork belly (called carnitas on the menu though it wasn't fried at all), the pork ribs and a chocolate/caramel torte. The crab dish was nothing special while the pork ribs were not at all fall-off-the-bone tender. The pork belly was the best of the savories--but still not as wowful considering you are eating pork fat and want to feel that the sin was worth it. The torte, however was quite good--more caramel than chocolate, it was a treat. No complaints on portion size.
We'll be back in time but are in no hurry. I remember we weren't impresed with Lamberts when it opened but it seems that all of our food qualms there were resolved within months. It's expensive so it has to be worth it.
re: Carter B.
dishola has a a few drinks and some food items with high marks, and speaking of high, i was surprised at the price points!
i realize that downtown rents are $$$ but when did pork belly and crickets (just two random examples) become luxe ingredients w/ high price tags?
i guess i should try it before i get all bitchy... :-)
re: italyvespa
I went this weekend finally, and thought I would throw my 2 cents in: it is kind of a scene. Heavy on the Mojitos. But who cares if the food is great, right?
Unfortunately, I was kind of underwhelmed. Portion sizes were not an issue, but services wasn't entirely prompt. A flavorful ceviche was somewhat overproduced, or busy, and I was less than thrilled with the plating of the duck with mole (it was all kind of crowded into a...soup bowl?). The mole wasn't a home run either. Dessert was sublime however!
All in all a mixed bag.
Does it ever seem like you are suddenly hearing about a restaurant all the time? I guess it would be neat if Chowhound had a Zeitgeist feature, but it seems like I'm hearing a ton about La Condesa and Franklin's right now.
Anyway, I tried to go there for lunch yesterday...and they aren't open for lunch. Which I thought might be helpful info too others, as their hours aren't really posted on their website-though perhaps I should have noticed the conspicuous absence of a lunch menu.
re: NWLarry
You are hearing a lot about La Condesa because they are a James Beard nominee.
re: fabulousdrinksaustin
and the WSJ article.
re: NWLarry
In my opinion, the best time to go is Happy Hour. They make killer drinks that are a steal at $5 (half price) and their happy hour menu can't be beat. You could conceivably order one of everything on the HH menu for about $35 and feed 6 - 7 people easily. Some of the larger HH plates ($7 - $9) would even make a light dinner. I only wish I didn't work so far away.
re: conquer
Honestly I didn't notice, as when I saw a Mole Duck I quit looking.

Alleged zero day first to bust Adobe's Reader sandbox
Summary: Adobe's sandbox, which it introduced in Reader X, may have have finally been defeated, with a zero day reportedly on sale on underground markets for as much as US$50,000.
Russian cybercrime investigation firm Group-IB claims to have discovered a zero-day vulnerability that bypasses Adobe's as-yet-unbroken sandbox protections in Reader X and XI.
Group-IB head of International Projects Department Andrey Komarov said that the necessary code to exploit the vulnerability has been included in a modified version of the popular Blackhole exploit kit, and that it has been sighted for sale within small underground hacking communities for between US$30,000 and US$50,000.
The group has posted a YouTube video demonstrating the vulnerability on a fully patched version of Reader XI.
Although Reader has been the target of several attacks, it appears to have struck on a winning security combination of using sandboxes to isolate attacks to stop them from taking control of the underlying operating system. Since Reader X's release, it has enjoyed an untarnished record where the sandbox is enabled and users have only suffered from vulnerabilities because they refuse to update for their own safety.
However, if Group-IB's claims are true, this latest vulnerability will change all of that, reopening Reader to attack.
Komarov made the remark that criminals will jump at this chance, as "in the past, there was no documented method of how to bypass it with shellcode execution."
ZDNet contacted Adobe for comment, but did not receive a response at the time of writing.
The allegations of a new zero day come as Adobe moves to align its patching cycles with Microsoft's "Patch Tuesday" schedule, which some have called long overdue. However, the company has been holding its customers' hands a little tighter in recent times, providing more specific advice to users and administrators as to when and why they should patch.

Late Late Night FDL: Snow Dance
|By: Suzanne Wednesday February 6, 2013 10:00 pm
64 Responses to "Late Late Night FDL: Snow Dance"
I'm watching a show on the Travel Channel, called "The Edge of America." They are showing a 3 day pirate festival in Eastport, ME. I visited there three summers ago, and had my first lobster roll! Hey Suzanne!
hey ce — how's cleveland tonight? i'm watching pbs' life on fire — about life and volcanos
Hi Girls. I really enjoyed the info in the post about Richard III….. my, my how history intrigues me. While I suffer from political outrage fatigue, I am able to rally with the scientific, historical and sociological stuff that keeps being brought to the party. Life in its fullness.
hey dearie – i enjoyed reading it too…. i love the intersection of science and history
how's the 'nard tonight?
The 'nard is good. My dear friend and I walk a couple of times a week, and we had a lovely walk this late afternoon….. chilly but nice.
You know that I do workers comp …. and I just have to say that you got the heck out of Dodge before things got crazy…. it's pretty crazy now. I am appalled by how bad things have gotten for injured people. Insurance companies rule. Fuck 'em.
Hey you two, I have been totally zeroed into the Richard III discovery. And the new PBS Shakespeare series.
and the horse they rode in on.
wed nites i watch nature then nova then this volcano series and then the reruns of the story of idean. i totally geek out
Hi Everyone. Things are great in SoCal. Request for some more ballet, Suz. This is wonderful, and as Dearie says, a great break from all of the politics.
…Life in its fullness… *heh* As Santayana warned… Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it…!
Aloha, Suz and lln pups…!
It's interesting, that scoliosis stuff. I knew a woman who was just a tad too old to have benefitted from the newer treatments as a youth. She was truly hunched over. I cannot even imagine what her spine looked like. Amazing that Richard III functioned as fully as he did. It's all so interesting…. and also kinda sad, if you get my drift. And we are all just human beings doing the best that we can………..and in 500 years, who will be looking for us under a parking lot.
hey loohoo — so glad you liked it.. i found the music very restful… and it was like i could hear the snow flakes fall
how was your day today?
Geeks rule. That's why we love Rachel Maddow!
aloha tut — how's paradise tonight?
i read something somewhere about how his spine was probably injuried as a teen — that he wasn't that way as a child. wonder if their forensics will confirm that it was due to injury
I found that interesting. Can't imagine what injury could have resulted in such curvature without rendering him somewhat unable…. and it appears he went into the last battle fully planning to defeat Henry Tudor.
is what i wanna know — what kinda injury could he have sustained that would have left his spine that damaged and yet he was able to go into battle and so those other manly man actions
Hi guys.
We all have scoliosis to a certain extent. That's why not everyone has a flat ass. Well, okay, fat too, but the spine can curve in either direction.
hey tuez — how ya doing tonight?
Wow — who knew?
I saw a recent PBS clip stating that the Anglican Priests had to cram his carcass into the too-small hole, dug under extreme duress, and covered in great haste…!
And also, remember, in medieval times, being overweight was a sign of wealth and some heavy people are inclined to grow humps. So his scoliosis may have been magnified by a fat pad. JMHO.
Wow. Got a link? I was an English major in college and took lots of English history, but I just never could remember dates and such…. never actually could get the 'big picture'…. was great at grammar and writing, etc. and went on to be an English teacher in high school. I still want to be able to grasp the history….. maybe I'll just always be history inept. ":)~
Wait, wait…..there wouldn't have been any Anglican priests in the time of Richard III. Are you pimpin' me????
I'm history inept too but I blame it on the revisionists. Can't keep up with their shit and the truth.
Sorry, I don't remember if it was PBS or the BBC, and what show it was…! But, I do remember that the conventional wisdom held that Richard's body was tossed into the River…!
My bad, I believe it was RC priests, instead…!
i found this on huffpo that said it was the greyfriars, the franciscans. who buried his body:
Richard, the last English king to die in battle, was buried "without any pomp or solemn funeral" by the Franciscan monks of Grey Friars.
No problem…. as a fallen-away I am certain that given the chance the RC priests would have thrown a losing king into a hole….. they just didn't know they had Henry VIII in their future. Karma is a beyotch.
… Karma is a beyotch…
*heh* Ain't She…? ;-) Yet we still fail to grasp her Wisdom…!
Hi, guys! ctut, you do know there weren't any Anglicans in Richard's time, right? The Reformation hadn't happened yet, let alone Henry VIII splitting off the Church of England.
And Dearie, the friars were actually hiding Richard's body from more humiliation and mutilation. some of those injuries were from his body being paraded around, thrown over a horse, with hands tied.
The "Friars minor" at the Greyfriars church got his body and hastily buried it, more or less secretly, to prevent more of that. But they put it under the choir, near the high altar; a place of honor for a king.
The fact that they acted in secret, and there were few and obscure references to what they had done, is why there were competing theories about what happened to him.
Why, yes, I've been following the investigation, the dig, and the waiting-with-bated-breath for the results. Why do you ask?
hey tejan — how's your day been?
The scolisis is thought by the forensic analysts to have developed in adolescence; the report does not say anything about being caused by an injury; I don't think scoliosis happens that way.
I remember a girl in my childhood church who had it; it definitely became worse in her teen years. I think, by definition, scoliosis develops, rather than is caused by something external.
And Richard had no pad of fat…he was described as rather slight of build. The skeleton shows he was about 5'8″, and the scoliosis's visible sign was no more than one shoulder higher than the other. This is the origin of the exaggeration of the hunchback of Shakespeare's Richard.
There, have I told you all way more than you wanted to know?
… Why do you ask?… *heh* I'm glad I concentrated on Asian-Pacific History, less dramas…! ;-)
no. more please :)
Hiya, Suze. It was not as productive as it should have been, but not a total loss, either. We were supposed to get thunderstorms, and the morning looked like they were coming, but they never did. Just a light rain over night and in early morning. Warm-cool – up to 60′s with strong breeze in the afternoon. Sweater weather. ; )
Aaaand….my Girl Scout cookies were delivered this evening! Yaay!
All Thin Mints this time, just three boxes of them. Wasn't sure how tight the budget would be by delivery time, so I didn't go wild. double smile ; )
Sorry. Didn't mean to figuratively beat you about the head and shoulders with the metaphorical bones of the last Plantagent king.
did you know he was the last English king to die in battle?
Ooops, sorry.
oh my stars — is it girl scout cookie time again? i've always loved their shortbreads and their peanut butter cream cookies
don't be sorry– i asked for more. i find it all so fascinating
There is something about finding the bones of the last king of England to die in battle that is 'thoughtsome'… as it were. I don't have words for how I feel about this finding. I am touched. Just as a human being who takes interest in the human condition. You know?
that they could id him blows me away. what are the odds that a body buried for more than 500 years could be id'd…
Ha. My eyes are going. Completely missed the period after the "no."
Okay, let's see…actually, we may have exhausted my knowledge of Richard if you read PW's thread, and clicked the links. those BBC links are really interesting.
I didn't know until I was reading up on the skeleton i.d. that the location of the battlefield has recently been corrected. All these centuries it was thought to be a mile or two from where it's now identified. Why the top of a hill was thought to be a battlefield where the kind was killed because his horse became "mired in marsh", I dunno.
But the new location, which is a more or less flat field with marshes, seems pretty clearly the right place.
They've been finding pieces of armor, leather straps that held armor on, bits of weapons, and most amazing of all, a tiny "badge" in the shape of a boar, which was Richard III's emblem. He would have given them to the nobles, maybe commanders, even his squires, closest to him. It's only an inch long. Amazing to me that it was found.
Isn't it amazing! If I could go back and study again, I'd study genetics and want to get into the DNA field early on. I am astounded and thrilled and excited about what DNA is able to reveal. Great stuff.
how forking kewl (and no worries — my eyes are old too)
to think it was a parking lot for so many years…. i missed how they came to dig there in the first place
The recent NOVA program on the inter breeding of Neanderthals with Homo Sapiens was also mind opening. Just wonderful stuff. DNA. Love it!
and Suze – yeah, part of the fascination for me is how several ways of putting together what's known along with the newest forensic science to make the identification about as positive as it could ever be. Even 20 years ago I bet the DNA evidence couldn't have been done. It seems not that long ago that I read in Newsweek or somewhere about mitochondrial DNA for the first time. That blew me away then.
The fact of the scoliosis and the battle wounds, of course, are major components, unlike an ordinary person who died in bed. Sure plenty of medieval men died in battle and had terrible wounds, but did they also have something like scoliosis? There was also a barbed arrowhead lodged in the spine. Then there's the facial reconstruction, which looks amazingly like the portraits.
Wow Thanks! My favorite Richard the III is Ian McKellen's The first time I saw it I was stunned. So THIS is what all the fuss about Shakespeare comes from!
the forensic stuff always appealed to me — when i was working detectives, i attended several schools where forensic experts came in to talk about what they do… had a forensic anthropologist come in from chico state to one school up in sacramento iirc. he and his team of students were often called out when old bones were found and a determination was needed of how old… are they the remains of a modern day crime or are they from the gold rush days etc….
i forking loved that!
hey spocko — how ya doing tonight?
My sister was diagnosed with scoliosis in her teen years and had to wear a serious back brace when she was at home. I have cute pics of her in a bikini with the brace! Now they check kids in middle school.
One of the links I put in PW's thread has a pretty good synopsis on that, I think.
There is the obscure reference by a contemporary chronicler saying the friars of the Greyfriars church buried him, under the choir of their church. And that's exactly where he was found; they located the choir of the church before the bones; decorated tiles, structural components, etc.
The problem was locating the site of the church, which was torn down in the next century. It seems that the last person to search for it (early this century? I forget) misread the old maps he used and misidentified the church, so he went looking in the wrong church site and found nothing.
A more careful comparison of ancient maps of Leicester with modern maps and satellite photos got the right place. The car park.
In a way, it's fortuitous that it was a car park.Imagine if it had been the basement of someone's house, or City Hall, or a bank or something.
"Pardon me, sir, we'd like to dig up your entire basement on the chance that old Richard III might be buried there. We'll only disturb you for six months or so…."
weather dood is saying showers sat instead of the good day he had forecast. looks like maybe sunday will be the day to test out a small walk
or if digging out the basement, they found the bones and he was just some john doe reburied or laying in a museum drawer somewhere
BTW, on of the project I'm working on I'll be putting up tomorrow.
It's about trying to find out a corporations firearm policy.
It's one of my patented Letter to the CEO where I ask them why they aren't following the values they list in their web page.
It's to the CEO of the largest Christian broadcasting radio company.
Do you believe in making people safer or do you want more guns everywhere?
Please tell us your policies, because people listen to you and your hosts. Which side are you on? Safety or danger? If you want guns everywhere, does your insurance carrier know?
If you don't want guns in the workplace to your gun enthusiasts hosts know?
If they know but are ignoring you, what is your response? Let it slide, or act? Remember this isn't about the 2nd Amendment this is about your rules and if people who work for you comply.
Funny. I actually saw the play off-Broadway with Al Pacino in the '80′s.Quite a performance.
But remember, Shakespeare's Richard III was written to please the son of the usurper, the victor over Richard at Bosworth, so you have to take a big grain of salt with it.
I knew twins in the early 80s who had scoliosis and wore the big braces. And I knew the woman from the 50s before such a brace was available. That woman was a true hunch back…. and also an RN who worked with children. Scoliosis in earlier times was truly disfiguring.
sweet! looking forward to it dood
time for me to head out pups. thank you for letting me hang out here with ya tonight.
g'nite all
I love the theory of the Neanderthal and sapiens, too. Sorta knocks the accepted theory utterly askew.
Hmmm. "Bones" did an episode riffing off that discovery, too. They occasionally do old bones analysis like that…I bet next season works in the Richard discovery somehow.; ) One of my favorite series.
So, Suze, when you say "test a small walk," what are you thinking of? Around the block? Something farther?
Ohhhhh….I was gonna go to bed early! But just couldn't resist the topic….
Sleep well, Suze, Dearie, and everybody. Better go jump in the bed, too.
Sweet dreams, Suz and tj…!

Great news, everyone!
Freewheel's popular Winter Spinning program is now offering TWO-HOUR classes on Sunday mornings from 9:00-11:00!
Although these rides aren't *quite* as intense as the regular week night one-hour rides, they take you into a different endurance zone that a one-hour class can't. Consider a one-hour indoor ride to be equivalent to a two-hour outdoor ride in terms of your energy expenditure. A two-hour indoor ride? Now we're talking the equivalent of a three- or four-hour outdoor ride.
Words of wisdom: You will sweat A LOT during a two-hour indoor ride as your body attempts to cool off (and yes, we have a bunch of fans for air movement). We recommend bringing two bottles of water and a bit of food. Better yet, since your sweat contains lots of electrolytes that your muscles need for proper function, seriously consider adding a supplement to your water bottles to replace those vital nutrients. Freewheel stays well-stocked with goodies from Hammer Nutrition, Louis Garneau, and Clif.
Hammer offers HEED (High Endurance Electrolyte Drink) and Perpetuem (HEED plus extra proteins for muscle recovery) as well as energy-boosting gels.
Louis Garneau makes some of the best tasting energy gels in the business as well as their Extra Electrolyte Sports Drink.
Clif makes a handy product called Shot Bloks. These are chewy little treats packed with easy to digest sugars. Our favourite for electrolyte replacement is the Margarita flavour since it packs in three times the salt content of the other flavours.
In terms of cost, Sunday rides count as 1.5 regular rides. If you're just getting into Spinning at Freewheel, we recommend doing a few of our one-hour classes before jumping into the two-hour rides but if you're fit and/or experienced, don't hold back!
Sign up by phone or in person.
Hope to see you here!
Freewheel Cycle has won the Gold Award in the category of Best Bike Shop for the Hamilton Spectator Readers' Choice polls. We would like to extend a thank you to all of our loyal customers who voted for us this year! You guys rock.

ASOS.com (/ˈeɪsɒs/ AY-soss)[2] is a British online fashion and beauty store. Primarily aimed at young adults,[3] ASOS sells over 850 brands as well as its own range of clothing and accessories. Sales for the financial year ending 31 August 2013 were £753.8 million.[4] As of August 2013, ASOS PLC has an estimated net worth of £159 million.[5] In May 2012, it reported a jump in pre-tax profits from £15.7 million to £30.3 million, with sales up 46% at £495 million.[6]
ASOS.com is a global online fashion and beauty retailer, offering over 50,000 branded and own-label product lines across womenswear, menswear, footwear, accessories, jewelry and beauty. The warehouse has new products coming in each week. ASOS has websites targeting the UK, Australia, USA, France, Germany, Spain, Russia, Italy and China. It also ships to over 237 other countries from its two distribution centres in the UK.[3]
ASOS has over 21.3 million unique visitors a month and as of 31 August 2013 had 7.1 million active customers from 160 countries (defined as having shopped on ASOS in the last 12 months).[3] As of October 2013[update], it has 7 million active users worldwide.[7]
ASOS's headquarters are in Camden Town, within a building known as Greater London House. As of 2013[update], its main fulfilment centre is in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, which has 3,000 workers.[7][8] The Customer Care department is based in Hemel Hempstead.[9]
|This article is in a list format that may be better presented using prose. (February 2014)
ASOS was established in June 2000 by Nick Robertson[7] and Quentin Griffiths. It now has over 4,000 employees and is the United Kingdom's largest independent online and fashion beauty retailer.[citation needed]
Despite deprecating its original meaning (As Seen On Screen), ASOS is still written as an uppercase acronym; the exception to the rule being the new company logo designed by Ben Lewin as part of new visual identity and introduced in 2008, where it is stylistically shown all in lower case.
In October 2001, ASOS PLC Holdings was admitted to AIM on the London Stock Exchange. The company was brought to the market by Andrew Regan, the financier, who reversed As Seen on Screen, as it was then known, into Brindle Limited, a shell company created by a consortium of fellow Monaco investors that included Nigel Robertson. The AIM listing raised only £255,000 (£95,000 after expenses) and put a value of £12 million on the business in 2001. [10]

ASOS provides potential customers with individual catwalk model videos of most clothing items on the site. Additionally, it runs a fashion blog with articles relating to celebrities and entertainment. ASOS links relevant items within these posts to clothes on the main retail site.
ASOS Outlet[edit]
ASOS Outlet is the discount arm of ASOS and offers end of line and previous season products at a discounted price. It is linked to from the main ASOS page and competes with other online discount E-tailers such as, SecretSales,[16] FillMyCloset,[17] BrandAlley and iShopStyle. Outlet is a foray by ASOS into the discount sector and has often been likened to an online TJ Maxx discount store.
ASOS Fashion Finder[edit]
Fashion Finder showcases fashion trends and also links to products by rival retailers if the product the shopper is looking for isn't sold on ASOS. The site also allows users to build and share outfits from their favourite brands and hosts catwalk videos. Fashion Up is a new mobile phone application launched to serve as a guide to each new season with highlights on products and trends.
Little ASOS[edit]
Little ASOS was a children's collection launched by ASOS in mid-February 2009 that was eventually phased out in the beginning of 2011. The collection was designed to cater to babies up to 24 months and girls and boys aged from 2 to 8 years. As well as stocking ranges from high fashion brands including Diesel, Tommy Hilfiger, Miss Sixty and True Religion, Little ASOS offered a number of boutique and independent labels such as Cath Kidston, No Added Sugar and Bob & Blossom. The collection also featured a number of UK and online exclusives. It was the sole UK stockist of Lee Kidz, a denim and casual wear range for girls and boys from classic US denim brand, Lee. High-profile footwear labels including Converse, Havaianas and Ugg were also available to purchase. Little ASOS was cancelled in the beginning of 2011 for it was no longer a profitable operation.
ASOS Life[edit]
ASOS Life, which launched 13 April 2009 in beta and officially launched to the public 6 May 2009, is a section of the ASOS.com site which allows users to create their own profiles and communicate through forums, blogs and groups. The pure-play retailer announced the launch of the ASOS Life community through Twitter and Facebook.
Existing customers have the same login for the e-commerce and community site, but a username has to be chosen to gain access to ASOS Life.
The site features blogs from members of employees, and a help forum that allows customers to answer each other's questions. In addition, an "ideas" section permits customers to submit suggestions for site improvements and rate each other's suggestions. ASOS Life was later renamed ASOS Blogs and can be accessed through a tab added to the main navigation bar, titled Blogs.
ASOS Premier[edit]
On 17 November 2009 ASOS launched 'ASOS Premier' which was a new delivery loyalty scheme, similar to that of Amazon.co.uk with Amazon Prime. ASOS Premier has only initially launched and become available to those living in the UK, although international development has not been ruled out for the future, dependent on future international development of the company. ASOS Premier offers free Next Day Delivery and Nominated Day Delivery and free Returns via collection on unlimited orders for £9.95 per year. ASOS Premier USA offers free Express delivery for an entire year for only $29. All premier accounts also receive advance sales notifications and pre-sale discount codes. ASOS Premier account members also receive for free ASOS magazine, 10 issues a year.
ASOS Magazine[edit]
ASOS also publishes a monthly magazine which launched in 2007. Currently 18th in the UK with a readership of 449,971 and geared towards females, ASOS magazine is currently distributed in the UK. For those who do not have easy access to the hardcopy, an online version is available on the site where consumers are able to click and buy immediately while browsing.
ASOS International[edit]
In the final quarter of 2010, ASOS launched three international stores in France, Germany and the US. In September 2011 they launched three more sites in Australia, Italy and Spain. International sales increased by 142% during the 2010 financial year.[18] With the large success in the international market ASOS opened its first international office in Sydney, Australia, in 2012. ASOS extended to the US in September 2013 in Rochester, NY.
Facebook application[edit]
On 27 January 2011, ASOS launched a Facebook application that allows customers to make purchases from the store without having to leave the social-networking site. It has since closed with the old link redirecting to the ASOS website.
As of the start of the 2014 Formula One season, ASOS.com has been a sponsor of the McLaren Formula One team. It was originally assumed that the sponsorship would be a one-off deal lasting only the duration of the 2014 Australian Grand Prix, the inaugural race of the season.[19] However, this has been proven false, as the ASOS.com logo can be clearly seen on the back of the rear wing of the 2014 McLaren Formula One car, the McLaren MP4-29, throughout the 2014 season so far.

Westwood wins St. Jude in playoff
Updated: June 13, 2010, 10:03 PM ETAssociated Press
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Lee Westwood has played golf long enough to be philosophical despite all the times he's come up short when so very close to victory.
The Englishman who finished second at the Masters, lost a playoff in Dubai and finished tied for fourth at The Players Championship this year won the St. Jude Classic for his second career PGA Tour victory and first since 1998, beating Swede Robert Karlsson on the fourth hole of a sudden-death playoff Sunday.

Not everything is as it seems and Lucy realizes that she may have married into more than she bargained for when she discovers Ben's pastimes include the occasional murder. As the bodies start to pile up, so do her problems and Lucy quickly appreciates that covering up for a fledgling serial killer is not as easy as it seems.

It is fun, though, to see the younger Hanks play a murderer - it's like seeing Justin Bieber work blue.
Pitching uncertainly between cute and creepy, engaging and weird, this farcical story draws energy from a wickedly eccentric Ann-Margret, having a high old time as Ben's doting mother.
Alas, the complications don't arrive nearly quickly enough for the overlong and slow-paced Lucky to really cook.
It gets bogged down in slo-mo indie quirk when it should be faster, more in our face.
Lucky has its moments, but even with good, sometimes exceptional performances, its criminally vile characters are never likable enough to make you laugh at (or forgive) their wickedness.
The film is a collection of consciously quirky indie tropes in place of any meaningful narrative, and you can practically see the notebook the filmmakers may have written in during a brainstorming session in a college screenwriting seminar.
Graynor is a muddle of kooky indie girlfriend and materialistic fortune hunter; Hanks has neither threat nor pathos at his command.

In preparation for FRC season, I decided to do some maintenance of the quiz website where I have hosted FRC rules quizzes for the past two years. Apparently Webtester has two(or more) major security holes. I discovered at least 12 different malicious files uploaded, and at least two other major problems on my site. I'm going to document here what I did to fix my copy of Webtester (version 5.1.20101016), since I haven't really found a better tool for the way I want to host quizzes.
I'm taking two approaches to this: Closing known holes (Google for "WebTester 5.x Multiple Vulnerabilities" to see a few detailed reports), and obfuscating obvious things. At least one of the attacks made an attempt at getting the details of any blog software I use, but I think the randomized table prefix goes a long way in preventing random SQL injection from getting in. This will involve renaming tables, and probably learning a bit of PHP along the way.
For this, I did some research on SQL injection in PHP. it looks like the quickest fix is to sanitize input with mysql_real_escape_string() around any inputs that are used in SQL expressions. This was not fun to implement, because this kind of fault seemed to be all over the place in the code. I eventually got it everywhere obvious, but then noticed that I had broken some functionality… I had to go back and fix this in a few places.
I couldn't actually find where the normal way to get to this utility was, so I just uninstalled it. Nothing seems to be broken for me. I simply renamed "filemanager" to something else and was sure that there was a blank index file to hide the folder structure. Once I am sure nothing is broken, I might delete the folder entirely.
This took some time, but I wanted to make a way for the tables to have a prefix, like wordpress does. This also helps prevent conflicts with other apps that use obvious table names. For now, I added a custom prefix to includes.php and inserted " . $table_prefix . " in every single SQL statement in the entire application (at least 275 of them by my current count). Tedious, but worth it, I think. Doing this task alone makes me want to rewrite the whole thing from scratch as a Ruby On Rails app.
While poking around in the code, I noticed a few other items that were quick to fix. Search for the following and fix as needed to clean up your copy.
I plan to have the quiz site back up in time for next year's quiz, which is about 6 weeks away. I'll try to keep a close eye on hacking attempts.
In preparation for 3d printerfest at Einsteins workshop in Burlington, I attempted a 6+ hour print, which is by far the longest I have done, unattended or otherwise. My previous printer simply wasn't large or reliable enough to print for 6 hours.
This print is a 150 mm diameter herringbone gear bearing.
I came home from work expecting a big mess and actually was surprised it worked. It's a bit thin in spots and didn't break free, but it's pretty close. I think I just need to make the cold end of the extruder a tad more reliable.
I'm pretty excited about my new larger build area, and think I can get quite a bit better results than the previous printer. Next up, upgrading this to octopi as well.
If you are interested in seeing this project turn into a reality, please give me a skull over on hackaday.io/project/852
Here are the slides
This is the main electronics workbench in my office:
From top row, left to bottom row right:
Next is primary storage:
This is split into three types of container:
I also have a closet with more shelves, mostly holding bankers boxes
That's the bulk of my project space. If you have any questions, comment here or ask them in the subreddit thread listed at the top of the post.
Running my makerbot over serial can be problematic because I have an aged laptop. I'm still using an old laptop I scavenged when IT was giving away tired machines. It has a Core 2 Duo at 2Ghz, a 40GB hard drive and 3GB RAM (32 bit OS). It's still kicking, and can usually do what I need without too much hassle. Recently though, The act of switching windows during a print caused the serial buffer to run out, and the printer would sit for 30 seconds oozing while it waited for more data.
Enter OctoPrint. I recently got a Raspberry Pi model B for a larger PCB design project I was planning, but that is temporarily on hold. I did some reading about what I could do with it, and was torn between a pandora interface for the stereo downstairs, and a mini-host for the 3D printer. Once the printing problems surfaced, it sealed the deal.
A little bit of poking (following instructions from the premade OctoPi package) later, and I had it communicating with my customized Ramps-like electronics running Marlin. I did add a USB port to the 5V line of the printer power supply, so I can use a small USB cable to power the Pi. I rearranged where the boards were located on the side of the box, and wired it all up. It turns out the 'mounting holes' in the Pi can be tapped for M3.
The normal FTDI cable runs the serial interface, and I plug into the ethernet jack on the Pi to get the web interface.
I did have to poke at the mjpg_streamer settings to get it to talk to my cheap webcam, but I published the settings to the Octoprint Wiki for others to use.
I have a monoprice order coming in next week, and that includes a USB wifi widget that reportedly works with the Pi, so it will be completely wireless! I had to dig out a wifi-bridge to get some ethernet jacks on my desk for the Pi to plug into for now.
I also have been playing with print settings, pushing the limits on layer thickness. The video above is thing 1842 being printed with 250 micron layer height. The blurry shots in the video are the webcam contstantly refocusing trying to keep up with the printer. The screenshot of the interface is the same part with a 150 micron layer height (300 micron infill). Not bad for a 2010 Cupcake (Though the only original electronics are the power supply and the motors).
There are two main ways to get things for your printer to print – you can download them or you can design them.
There are quite a few sites now that host 3D printable models. The first major one is Thingiverse, which is owned by Makerbot (who is owned by Stratasys). Thingiverse had files for 3D priting and for laser cutting. Some models are extremely well made, and print with ease. Other things may not be well designed or could even be impossible to print. A good rule is that if there isn't a picture of a printed part on the thing's page, then it's probably not printable. Also make sure that the printed part fits in your machine. If you have an older printer like mine, some things are just too large.
This page has a listing of more sites with models available.
There are quite a few free tools available that can make STL files for 3D printing. Some are better than others. My current favorite is DesignSpark Mechanical. This a basically a free version of Spaceclaim, with a reduced feature set, but is still very functional. It has the same basic tools as Sketchup, but Sketchup models often have issues with being turned into printable 3D models (Sketchup can't do small details, and often make parts with some of the faces turned inside out). I specifically recommend against using Sketchup.
Autodesk 123D is pretty good, but the interface can be a little slow on anything but a newer computer.
The other way of designing a part is actually more of a programming language called SCAD. One of the best tools in this category is OpenSCAD. There are many tutorials out on the net, and some things from thingiverse will be in scad format. OpenSCAD compiles a solid model based on parameters you set. This makes customizing a part easy if it was designed well.
There are a few online options, like Tinkercad and 3D Tin, but I usually prefer a local piece of software for 3D design.
Students licences are often available for professional level cad tools as well.
What do you want to know about having a 3D printer? Comment below, and I'll try to answer the questions in a new post.
I borrowed two different code snippets to make it blink with a nicer look.
Hackaday Link for project 1 (used the LCG formula)
Zenlogic's PWM code (modified to use only two outputs)
This could be a huge advancement for the hobby 3D printing market. Designspark Mechanical can export STL, and being based on spaceclaim means that editing will be quite nice. I have used Spaceclaim Engineer in a previous job, and really was impressed.

GERMANTOWN, Wis. (AP) -- Police say all explosives have been removed from a Germantown home where a 33-year-old man was arrested earlier.
Police Chief Peter Hoell tells WTMJ-TV the explosives will be detonated elsewhere. The Milwaukee bomb squad worked to remove the explosives Wednesday. Authorities did not say how much or what type of explosives were removed.
Neighbors were temporarily evacuated Tuesday after police received a tip about the explosives.
Wisconsin National Guard Lt. Joe Trovato says 21 members of the guard's Civil Support Team provided on-scene analysis of an unknown substance found in the house. He says those test results were forwarded to the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Hi – I have been researching how to add a social media icon to the top right header. Here is the website I am working on.
Any help would be much appreciated!
I see 2 social media icons on top right header. Is it that you want to add more icons or move them somewhere?
Hi Nick,
I have two then there's a space then the search bar. Can you help me figure out how to add the icon? The "Houzz" image doesn't show up? Thanks!
Hi Nick,
I have two social media icons then there's a space (which is the icon Houzz) then the search bar. Can you help me figure out how to add the icon? The "Houzz" image doesn't show up? Thanks!
This is the empty space http://188.8.131.52/~mcdouga4/wp-content/themes/corona/images/skin-minimal/delimiter-menu.png . i dont see your icon here.
Upload the icon using media in the backend, don't just drop it into a folder because when you update the theme it will be get erased unlike image uploaded via media.
Add the url for icon to URL TO IMAGE in the code below. and add to your /css/custom.css file
.social_bookmarks .houzz a{background: transparent url(URL TO IMAGE) 0 0 no-repeat;}
In header.php on line 141 please paste this (line after facebook social)
echo '
Houzz
';
Thank you so much! It worked! Such relief!!
One other quick question, how do I get rid of the yellow description when hovering over the photo – for example, Wellesley?
Inside each img tag there is a property called title
img src="url to image" title="this image is cool"
What you are seeing is the title.
You can add this piece of jquery somewhere to the footer.php file on an empty line
