In June 1982, Rebecca Lynn Williams, a nineteen year old mother of three was raped and murdered in her Culpeper, Virginia apartment. Almost a year later, Earl Washington, a twenty-two year old black man with a general I.Q. in the range of 69, was arrested in neighboring Fauquier County for an alleged burglary and malicious wounding. From that moment on, Washington remained in police custody. After two days of questioning, police claimed he had "confessed" to a total of five different crimes, including the murder of Rebecca Lynn Williams.
Of the five "confessions," the first four were dismissed by the Commonwealth because of the inconsistencies of the testimony and the inability of the victims to identify Washington. In the fifth confession, however, Washington said that he raped and killed Rebecca Lynn Williams. Questioning revealed that Washington did not know the race of his victim, the address of the apartment where she was killed, or that he had raped her. Washington also testified that Ms. Williams had been short when in fact she was 5'8", that he had stabbed her two or three times when the victim showed thirty-eight stab wounds, and that there was no one else in the apartment when it was known that Ms. Williams' two young children were with her in the apartment on the day of the crime. Only on the fourth attempt at a rehearsed confession did authorities accept Washington's statement and have it recorded in writing with Washington's signature. He only picked out the scene of the crime after being taken there three times in one afternoon by the police, who in the end had to help him pick out Williams' apartment. The confession proved to be the prosecution's only evidence linking Washington to the crime.
Psychological analyses of Washington reported that, to compensate for his disability, Washington would politely defer to any authority figure with whom he came into contact. Thus, when police officers asked Washington leading questions in order to obtain a confession, he complied and offered affirmative responses in order to gain their approval. At trial, only the State's psychologist testified, claiming that Washington was competent when his statement was given.
The prosecution's case hinged on Washington's statements as well as his identification of a shirt given to the police by the victim's family six weeks after the crime. A forensic analyst conducted serology testing on evidence from the crime scene and detected a rare plasma protein. Once Washington, who does not possess the rare protein, became a suspect, an amended forensic report was prepared (without additional testing being conducted) that said testing for the rare protein was "inconclusive."
At the penalty phase of the trial, the defense did not offer any counter argument to the jury concerning a sentence of death. The jurors returned with their verdict of death on January 20, 1984. In May 1984, Washington pled guilty to an unrelated case of burglary and malicious wounding and was sentenced to two consecutive fifteen year sentences.
Washington's direct appeal failed. In August 1985, with a September execution date imminent, another death row inmate, Joseph Giarrantano, alerted Marie Deans (a non-lawyer, who for years had been assisting capital prisoners voluntarily) and a lawyer who was at the Virginia prison working on another case, of Washington's story. That lawyer brought Washington's case to her New York law firm, where it was picked up pro bono. These attorneys filed a state habeas corpus petition and secured a stay of execution for Washington nine days before he was scheduled to die.
In 1993, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ruled that although Washington had been denied his constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel at trial because of the defense's failure to introduce exculpatory biological evidence, this failure was harmless in light of the other evidence, namely the "confessions". At this desperate point the parties involved in the case agreed to conduct DNA testing on the biological evidence.
In October 1993, the test results revealed that Washington was excluded as a contributor of the seminal stain. Even with this evidence, Washington was time barred by Virginia law, which allowed a defendant twenty-one days to introduce new evidence. Instead, on January 14, 1994, then Governor Wilder commuted Washington's sentence to life imprisonment. Washington remained in prison for six more years before his counsel persuaded the newly elected Governor Gilmore to seek additional DNA testing. On October 2, 2000, Governor Gilmore announced the results of the STR based DNA test and granted Earl Washington an absolute pardon for the capital murder conviction, even though he refused to consider the unrelated burglary and malicious wounding charges. The Virginia Department of Corrections determined that regardless of Governor Gilmore's refusal to pardon the lesser charges, Washington would have been eligible for parole on January 25, 1989, for the burglary and malicious wounding convictions, thereby granting Earl Washington his release from prison to parole supervision on February 12, 2001.

No joke,
I just bought some human waste fertilizer [yes, it has been treated] that is supposed to keep dear/bunnies away as well as fertilze. Has anyone else ever heard of this? Does anyone have any thoughts? Do you think it will work? Do you think I will have to reapply it after every rain?
Thanks in advance,

Nathan, Yes I've heard of it - mostly from those enviro-toilet commercials that claim to turn human waste into usable compost. However this is the fist time I've heard of this product being commercialized. Provided it's properly treated, why not give it a shot (I presume the human scent is what triggers it). It can't be any less effective than other supposed deer repellent claims. Good luck regardless, Helene |

Nathan, -Put an 8' fence around your place. We fenced in a large area at the end of the lane and included the vegetable/fruit garden inside it. No problems anymore with deer in the strawberries, peas, carrots, beets, raspberries, etc. -Get a border collie or other outside dog that will protect your yard. Ours loves to run and deer are perfect objects to run after. Not so much any more because they know that there is a dog in the yard, so they kind of avoid the yard now. -Spray a mixture of 1 egg in a gallon of water on your perennials and trees. Beat your egg first so it will go through your spray nozzle in your sprayer, then add it to the gallon of water. The protein smell from the egg is what the deer do not like. Some people add all kinds of other stuff like garlic, pepper, etc to it also but it is not necessary. This solution I have used for years (before we got our dog) and I found it extremely effective. It does need to be reapplied after a rain though. I know exactly the frustration deer can cause. I have huge perennial flowerbeds and would rather see my flowers bloom and flourish than feed the deer with the flowers. They can go eat in the farmer's field next to my yard instead. Brenda |
- Posted by ich_bin_nathan 4 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 26, 07 at 13:26
I think I am going to just return it and try the egg solution. Much cheaper and less creepy. Brenda, Thanks again to you both, |

It seems that MGE 2011 user name login and password is set to anonymous so it dont ask any user name and password when I open created MGE web site, I tried both basic and flexible layout. How can I enable user login function? I found some code rows in Common.php, where login information is set to anonymous, does I need to change it somehow?
I have the same exactly problem!!!
Could anyone tell us a solution please?
I browse a lot of forum but I didn't find any solution, also because I'm not very expert in code...
Thanks very very much!
I got some information from Autodesk, this is bug and they gonna fix it in future releasing some service pack, but not known when this gonna out . This problem is only with flexible layout with basic layout loggin working.I also got from Autodesk some fixed Mapguide files, but those where pointless to me, tgis didnt worked. But good to know that Autodesk will gonna fix this problem, I'l hope that soon.
Got it, hope the service pack will be release soon.
For the moment, I would like ask you another thing: is it possible to create a script-button (in basic layout) to logout the user?
Maybe with "invoke script" or something like that...
Thanks very much again,
Now Mapserver 2012 is out but logging issue is still same, logging is working only with basici layout and not working with flexible layout.
any news when user logging and password will be enabled for flexible layout?
In Infrastructure Studio usergroups can be defined for layers, maps and web layouts. But using anything but the group "Everyone" makes the flexible layout crash..
best regards,
S. Klein
Seems that there is no any good news from Autodesk to fix this issue. But does anybody have idea how to get flexible layout password protected logging working?
AIMS 2013 version is out and also Mapguide open source 2.4 but both have same issue with logging, using flexible layout there is not possible to use password protected logging like using Basic layout.
Can anyone suggest how to get password logging working?
Does anyone really dont know how to fix this problem?

Import review: Comprising a Tactics game on PSP, the excellent Revenant Wings on DS and now this top-notch reworking of what, we suspect, was intended to be a GBA game, the Ivalice Alliance trilogy has proved to be a tremendously impressive departure from the main Final Fantasy titles.
The Sealed Grimoire is another tactical RPG with more than a little Ogre Battle about it, but it stands on its own by virtue of its genuinely high-quality execution. Polished almost to perfection, it's hard to see how the Tactics series can make any significant improvement on this, at least from a pure gameplay perspective.
When the game begins, you're warped into a strange world where a gang of men are contemplating the best way to attack a huge mutant budgie. You quickly sort them out with a battle strategy and the budgie is felled, with the aid of a mysterious stranger who insists on fighting independently of the team.
The story isn't going to win any prizes, particularly if you can't read Japanese and, like us, have to make up your own. But in Final Fantasy Tactics, actions speak louder than words.
The future's all mapped out
It's all about fighting on a grid-based 3D map. Unseen stats determine the order in which units can attack, and each turn consists of a movement phase, an action phase and a defensive reorientation in preparation for enemy retaliation.
Before the battle begins, you select a clan from among the various individuals you've managed to recruit. You'll have to take the terrain into account, as well as the strength of the opposition - for example, an area with high ground lends itself to units with long range weapons, such as bows or magic attacks. Keeping the enemy pressed into a central kill zone, then peppering them from the edges of the map is the definition of cheap satisfaction.
However, it's rarely so easy. Each fight comes with a pre-defined Law attached, which can often hamper your natural fighting style. If you favour the long-range approach, you'll be ruined if the Law happens to forbid long-range weapons. On a more subtle level, there are rarer Laws that prevent you attacking opponents with a lower level than yours, Laws against hurting particular character classes, and many, many more.
Meet your "in" laws
There's no way you'll prosper in these sorts of battles unless you know the Law, so having an online English FAQ to hand is absolutely essential. Certain Laws can be obscure, to say the least, and the penalty for not following them is a very low score at the end of the round, which makes life more difficult as the game goes on.
As a sort of counter-balance to the punitive Law system, you can select a positive benefit that applies to the entire clan. To make the battle a little easier, you can go for effects such as increased range, increased speed or extra damage. If you're more confident in your abilities, you can opt to defer the freebie until the end of the fight, when you'll receive it in the form of a hefty EXP boost.
On top of all that, there's a job system that will affect the specialist skill set available to your clan members, and a rock-paper-scissors arrangement of super-effective attacks and immunities. Beneath what seems like a fairly simple battle RPG, there's a huge amount of unseen data.
The amazing look of the game makes it something worth persevering with, even in Japanese. The diorama-style levels are just gorgeous pieces of art, and they make perfect sense, from a tactical point of view, as battle locations. If you've played a previous Tactics or Ogre Battle then you shouldn't have too much trouble figuring out what's going on.
The control scheme is the one thing we weren't so happy with. The game can't have been shifted from GBA to DS that late in its development cycle, so there's no reason why it couldn't have had a stylus control system of some sort. As it is, we were left prodding at the screen to no avail - you have to use the D-pad for absolutely everything, from menu selections to movement. Even if stylus control might have led to the odd error with the pseudo-3D viewpoint, it wouldn't have mattered as there's an undo function for taking back misplaced moves. It's a bit lazy, and we hope they upgrade it for the UK release, whenever that may be.
In all, it's top stuff for Tactics fans who don't mind the odd (thousand) Japanese menus - a long-lasting, extremely challenging adventure that's as deep as you could wish for without being unduly inaccessible.
If you're prepared for a steeper than normal learning curve, it's a good bet for experienced import fans. High quality throughout, this is a classy battle RPG.

We are looking for teachers for our schools in Nantong, Jiangsu Province, China. We have a young learners program and provide foreign teachers to kindergartens and middle schools throughout Nantong, plus train middle school through university students in TOEFL, IELTS, SAT, SSAT preparation for Chinese students wanting to attend universities or high schools in English speaking countries. So, a variety of ages and class types, though the concentration is on speaking.
Nantong is a mid-sized city in the countryside 2 hours northwest of Shanghai, in one of the nicest provinces in China. It has great natural beauty with rivers lined by parks and tree-lined streets, so a better environment and air quality. Though smaller, Nantong offers a wide variety of entertainment and food for all tastes.
We have openings now with a one year commitment. We prefer native English speakers, holding a passport from one of the native English countries, but will consider all qualified teachers. We offer a monthly salary ranging from 8000 rmb to 10000 rmb, an apartment which we pay the rent, (you pay your own utilities,) and a contract completion bonus of up to 7000 rmb. We offer a foreign experts certificate/work permit/residency certificate, which requires a college degree received at least two years ago. Teaching experience is desirable as is a teaching certificate, either state issued, CELTA or TESL, though these are not required and we will train you. The position requires 25 hours of teaching per week plus preparation, school activities and meeting time, though we don't require our teachers to sit around the school, waiting for students. Instead, we provide a teaching schedule on Sunday of each week for the work week, Monday through Sunday, so you do have a fixed schedule. There would a mix of kindergarten through university students, with mostly one-on-one students and small classes. Musical abilities are very desirable.
You should email me your resume, a copy of your diploma, passport page, a recent photo, and any teaching credential or CELTA/TESOL/ TEFL/TESL certificate.

Illustrated by Wilson Ong A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back I still have chills after reading this book. After hearing so much about the #1 New York Times bestseller Heaven is For Real by Todd Burpo, I was thrilled at the opportunity to review this version for children, as told by Colton Burpo. If you aren't familiar with this story, little Colton visited Heaven during life-threatening emergency surgery and returned with intricate, Biblically-accurate details about his experience. First of all, the illustrations in this book are absolutely breathtaking. The colors are so vibrant, and artist Wilson Ong made the story come alive in a way that will capture the minds and hearts of young readers. Admittedly, I was a little skeptical. I would imagine that a lot of people are pretty hesitant to believe this story. But, now that I've read the children's version, I will be reading the grown-up version--immediately. The part of the story that really struck me was that in Heaven, Colton was greeted by his older sister, who (lost in a miscarriage) he didn't even know existed. I realize that some people are doubtful, but you really must read this book for yourself. The book also comes with a Q&A section and a guide for parents. Heaven is For Real for Kids is written in Colton's own words about his experience. Young kids will easily be able to grasp Colton's simple phrasing and descriptions, and once again, each page is illustrated beautifully. The message of love will surely bring peace, comfort, and joy to all who read it. As a parent, I highly, highly recommend this book for all children and expectant parents! I received a complimentary hardback copy of this book from the publisher through BookSneeze®.com. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

"Heaven is for Real" for Kids as told by Colton Burpo,
This review is from: Heaven is for Real for Kids: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back (Hardcover)
I was recently given the opportunity to review "Heaven is for REAL" for kids, as told by Colton Burpo to his Parents, Todd and Sonja Burpo.
This is a a children's book and is the story of a 4 year old child's trip to heaven and back. This is a boy named, Colton Burpo's, real life story that he told his mom and dad after he was ill and experienced going to heaven, but came back. This book is written on a level that children understand. I like that this is told by the child because it makes it easier for children to relate to the author. The book itself is amazing. I sat down with my daughter and fell in love with Colton's book. It is so neat that a child wrote this. I like that Colton gives the reader a clear picture of what happened to him when he went to heaven. I enjoyed the pictures and so did my children. It helped them understand things more too. This is a great book for kids and teaches children all about heaven, but does it on their level. I personally loved that the descriptions of heaven were so detailed and I find it amazing that this was done by a child! I would definitely recommend this book.

Nice book,
This review is from: Heaven is for Real for Kids: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back (Hardcover)
Heaven is for Real for kids is a good book to read with children who have questions about heaven. I'm not going to debate if I think Colton actually went to heaven, but I appreciate the scripture on each page of the book. The pictures are beautiful and captivated my daughter. I think this book would be appropriate for preschool and elementary children.

There's something special about this book ...,
This review is from: Heaven is for Real for Kids: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back (Hardcover)
and it's because it captures little kids attention and makes them imagine what Heaven is like. It makes them think about what it will be like to see Jesus and it reminds them how much He loves them. What's wrong with that? Nothing. People in other reviews are tearing the book apart because of a rainbow colored mane on a horse and the fact all the people in Heaven have halos and wings, and though I may not think that's the way it's going to be, does it really matter? If this book interests kids in Heaven and raises questions about how to get there, isn't that the purpose? We have no way of knowing if anyone has ever seen Heaven, so we have no way of knowing who's version is correct and who's isn't, but I think any book that makes kids think about Jesus is worth it. My six year old got misty eyed looking at the painting of Jesus in the back of the book! This isn't a book written for debating adults who scrutinize everything. It's for a child's heart and reaches them on their level. And honestly, who truly cares if there are no horses in Heaven with a rainbow mane, but there is in this book? Read it to your kids and open up discussions about Heaven!

Heaven for Kids,
This review is from: Heaven is for Real for Kids: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back (Hardcover)
Many readers will have heard of the original book Heaven is For Real, which though told by the young Colton Burpo, is written for adults. This is the picture book version for children, the story of a young boy who visited heaven while his parents were in the hospital waiting room, fearing for his life.
It is a beautiful story told in absolute innocence. And yet, Colton Burpo's descriptions mirror much of what is told in scripture, as noted on each page. It is also fascinating to note the family members he met there, who he'd never known before, and how they were just what his parents knew them to be. This is a very nice platform in which to teach your child about heaven--from someone who knows and can relate to them on their own level. Additionally, I greatly appreciated the added notes from Colten's parents, Todd and Sonja Burpo, which further illuminates the reader on the topic.

This review is from: Heaven is for Real for Little Ones (Board book)
We got this book when my husband passed away and my young children (2 and 4 years old) were having trouble understanding what heaven was, I myself could not find the words, so upon recommendation from a local pastor friend we bought this book. It is a good story to help children grasp an abstract concept but it was still a little over the heads of my kids, they might appreciate it more when they are a bit older.

PROOF that this story is false, & PROOF that Akiane Kramarik (who's painting of jesus was at the very end of the film) is FALSE.,
This review is from: Heaven is for Real for Kids: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back (Hardcover)
If you have read this book or seen the movie, you are aware that at the very end it is revealed that the "jesus" Colton Burpo encountered is the same one depicted by the supposed child prodigy painter Akiane Kramarik.
Akiane Kramarik is now almost an adult, but in her early years her parents sold her as a child prodigy artist who supposedly (without any near death experiences or medical emergencies) was just spontaneously abducted by "jesus" and taken out to heaven to have personal conferences with him. During these abductions, her mother claims her body could not even be located. She would literally be playing in the living room and then suddenly disappear. They would search all over for her, but she could not be found until "jesus" returned her. And when he would "return" her, she would spontaneously appear in the middle of the living room, out of nowhere. After Akiane was returned from her so-called "jesus abductions" she supposedly began to manifest a supernatural ability to paint (an ability way beyond her age of 4 years old). It was from this talent that she supposedly (and I emphasize the word supposedly, please keep reading) that she painted the portrait of "jesus" that Colton Burpo identified as being the same "jesus" he met with. Now, please read this statement put out by someone that personally knows the Kramarik family: "Akiane's mother Foreli Kramarik was a friend and neighbor of my mom when her family lived in Coal Creek Canyon, Colorado during 2002/2003. She was also associated with the Boulder Colorado "Urantia Book" religious organization, of which my mother is a member. We believe that there are many questionable circumstances surrounding Akiane's status as a child prodigy. Firstly, her mother is a painter in very much the same vein. In fact, one of the paintings on Akiane's website is virtually identical to a piece which was hanging in their living room, and was represented to us as being created by Foreli. Also, Foreli was avidly searching for a model for a portrait of Jesus that SHE wanted to paint. SHE CONSTANTLY TALKED ABOUT AKIANE BEING THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST; time traveling, unusual dreams, prophetic quotes, etc.... To us, the child acted and spoke as a normal seven year old kid. When her mother would conduct such rantings about the child, Akiane appeared upset and annoyed about the stories." Regardless of whether Akiane actually paints her own pictures (or her mother is doing it and lying)......there is no refuting the fact that Akiane once admitted in a filmed interview that a live human model was used for her "Jesus Prince of Peace" paintings. Please google "Akiane on Hour of Power (age 10)" to find the video on You Tube. In this interview, she describes how she begged a family friend to pose for her. I think it is important to point this out because so many people seem to believe that the paintings of Jesus came from her own mind (from memories of her supposed "conferences" with a "jesus" who abducted her). They think that she just sat down and painted these portraits from memory. She did not. Knowing this, you also have to admit that the painting Colton Burpo claims is an accurate representation of the "jesus" he saw, is in all reality a painting that was created by viewing a male model who posed for the Kramarik family. Again, google "Akiane on Hour of Power (age 10)" to see the words come right out of her own mouth. Akiane's paintings sell for around $3 million dollars, so this has been very profitable for her parents. Incidentally, now that Akiane is near grown, they have started new marketing campaigns to promote some of their other children as prodigies. But in spite of all the money they have made off these ventures, it hasn't stopped some of their children from trying to contribute to the family income. For example, Akiane has an older brother named Delfini (on facebook the mother spells it Delfinijus) who was arrested during 2010 in Northbrook, Illinois for being a major heroin dealer. He was arrested along with a woman named Neringa Eidimtaite. A quote from the Daily Herald article covering the arrests reads: "According to the detective, these were big time dealers out here," Northbrook police press officer Michael Shep said. "I'm sure there are always people above them ... but those who are into (heroin) knew of them." To confirm this stuff yourself, google "Delfini Kramarik" and the news articles of his arrest will come up immediately. To confirm that it is Akiane's brother, go to the mothers facebook page (Foreli Kramarik) and look through her publicly posted family photos. You will see Delfini, and it is definitely the same Delfini featured in the article discussing his arrest. Heroin use in the family.....gee I wonder if this is the real cause of Akiane's "visions"?!?! Also - do some research into the cult "Urantia Book". It is a White Supremacist cult based on "Baltu Religija" (otherwise known as "Baltic Religion", which makes sense because Foreli Kramarik was born and raised in the Baltic State of Lithuania.) This cult believes that there was a preeminent white race that existed long before any other race, and that blonde hair/blue eyed people are superior to all other people. Knowing this, you must ask yourself.....why would any christian promote Colton Burpo when he agrees that the "jesus" he saw is the exact same one that Akiane Kramarik saw? It is either a money-making hoax, or spiritual deception of the satanic variety. If you are not a christian, then of course you won't agree with me and I wouldn't expect you to. But for those of you who walk around calling yourselves christians, while simultaneously promoting this book at church........I hope you wake up and realize that the "jesus" being sold to you in this book is a false jesus/antichrist. The REAL Jesus warned us: "For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect, if that were possible. See, I have told you ahead of time. So if anyone tells you, 'There he is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man." (Matthew 24) Wake up christians and stop wandering around like bleating, blabbering sheep with no sense. Follow the REAL Jesus. He may not be handsome or have blue eyes. Isaiah 53 states that there is nothing in his appearance that would appeal to us: "He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed." (Isaiah 53) Stop following the fake "jesus" being sold to you by The Burpo family and Akiane Kramarik. Follow the Jesus of Isaiah 53. He is the only true Jesus, and the only way to salvation. And when He comes, we will ALL see him. Every eye - not just those who are supposedly abducted and taken aboard the so-called "jesus" ship.

Wonton soup is basically chicken stock with green onions and wontons in it. Add a dash of sesame oil and/or soy sauce and you are done. If you want to get fancy, throw in some snow peas.
This one is over worked, over thought, and just not authentic.

Godafoss - the waterfall of the Gods - North East Iceland. Away from the usual dramatic and fiery colours of sunset, here the best shot was found in muted twilight, the soft lighting from the sky allowing the gorgeous turquoise blue water to really shine. I'd spotted the moss-covered boulder from the other side, and it was simply a case of choosing a nice free flowing pattern in the foreground pebbles and smaller rocks, which didn't take too long. ND .6 Grad held the sky in check, and 10 seconds allowed for everything else. An excellent location, and one of Iceland's many stunning waterfalls...

(b) was "retriggering" or "the voice is reset and the note gets played
from the top".
obviously there is no fixed rule about how complete the reset is, and
certainly hitting the head of a drum that is already oscillating will
cause the production of a different sound than hitting one that was at
rest. nevertheless, its still the case that in some fairly deep sense,
the voice *is* reset, and a new note is played from the top. the same
is true on the piano for example.

safe granite overhang on island corner
We're using tropic brown, which we were told is dense and stronger than some other granite.
We have an island we've made. On two sides, we'll have a 1.5 inch overhang. But on the other 2 sides, we plan to have 8.5 inch overhang. So the top would generally look offset (this design is based on our needs and space). We were told 9 inches is the max unsupported overhang we can do. That means that while the 2 sides with the 8.5 inch overhang are OK - at the corner where they meet - if you measure out on the diagonal - it's like 12 inches. Seems that the only solutions would be to support it somehow, or reduce the depth of one or both of those longer overhangs. Anyone have any ideas? I thought about fabricating my own solution - getting a flat piece of steel similar to a yardstick, notching the cabinet tops and bolting it down, then having it extend out under the corner. But the downside is that you'd be able to see it as you sat at a nearby table. And, I don't know if flat steel would even be strong enough. It might need to be a round rod or even have a T in it. We don't want any corbels/supports per our design. So if I can't figure something out, we'll probably just kill the overhang on one of the edges to solve the issue.

safe granite overhang on island corner
I would suggest a second opinion on the overhang with no support.
I honestly do not have the facts or a definitive answer for you. I have done many kitchen remodels with granite tops, and breakfast bars. The last one we did sticks in my mind. Plan was a 16" overhang with corbels. This number was arrived at, from the granite pieces ordered, that was what was leftover and why waste it. After all was said and done, moving walls, building 1/2 walls etc ... We realized that with 16" overhang, would not be able to get the huge fridge into the kitchen. So we backed it off to 12", granite installers were fine with no corbels. My thought is, you can go farther then 9", exactly how far I do not know. Sounds like maybe the granite installers are being a bit conservative, they need to guarantee the install. Maybe others will have a better answer. Advertisement
If it was easy, we would not call it work! |

Our romance with fast cars is all about feeling that spike of adrenaline as your speed increases, pushing you into a different physical plane. In a slightly more abstract sense, it's about flying off to see new sights and escaping to new experiences. Video games aren't that different. You're still on the edge of your seat, driving by the seat of your pants, only you're far safer from danger than you would be if you were actually strapped into a 400-mph death trap. You also want to feel like all that driving is taking you somewhere.
The "Forza" series' progression of rewards has always been one of its strong suits. The driver and car XP levels see to this. Win a couple races and not only does your driver get a new car, but shops give you a discount on parts. Add in the fact that the credit system is generous (even after you subtract some for repairs to offset the damage to your car), and "Forza" avoids becoming a grind like other sim racers. Turn 10 Studios also redid its menu system to make everything more visually inviting, and added a calendar to keep track of the racing events. These tweaks are small changes that greatly help the game's pacing and show a vast improvement from "Forza 2." One tiny criticism I have regarding the calendar system, however, is that the trio of events the game suggests for you aren't your only options. To see everything you have at your disposal, you must back out of the season play menu and hit up the events list to check out all the races available. In general, you'll go through your usual mix of multi-race series, manufacturer- or spec-specific events, drag races, and some killer marathons courtesy of Le Mans and Nurburgring. Needless to say about the "Forza" series, the driving is still tight.
The game's calendar and progression system make the game very inviting, but I think the game misses a little by being in some ways too easy. What's the point of rating races and cars by their performance level if there are numerous times that you can race a superior car in a lower event for an easy win? The automatic upgrades are great, but take away from actually buying those parts. Remember the cool discounts you won from manufacturers? I never went into a parts store because it was all automatically done for me.
I ate up everything "Forza 3" had to offer. I raced hard through the streets of Italy's coastal town Amalfi, taking in the game's gorgeous sights and pushing the laws of physics around every tight turn. I spent lots of time in the garage adding layer upon layer to my cars' custom graphics with the game's easy-to-use tools. At the end of it all, however, I didn't feel like I was light years ahead of any other game in the "Forza" series. "Forza 3" redefines the franchise, but it definitely didn't take me to anywhere I hadn't already been before.

'Axel & Pixel'
For: Xbox 360 Live Arcade
From: Silver Wish/2K Play
ESRB Rating: E for Everyone
Price: $10
We're waist-deep in a 2-D gaming renaissance that has seen character animation reach Disneyesque levels, so it's an ironic kind of pleasantry to experience "Axel & Pixel," which magnificently bucks that trend by acting as if the 1970s never ended. "Pixel" operates primarily as a point-and-click adventure game, and it follows the rules of the genre — explore the scene and figure out what objects and cause-and-effect relationships will get Axel and his trusty dog Pixel to the next area — pretty faithfully. The control scheme and cursor design feel tuned to accommodate a gamepad, making the lack of a mouse a non-issue, and occasionally "Pixel" interrupts the storyline with a more action-heavy mini-game that uses the controller to full effect.
The sum of these parts would be nice in any clothing, but "Pixel" knocks it out of the charm park by taking two very likable leads and dressing their world in a visual and animation style that feels like a product of the same pen Terry Gilliam used for all those wonderful "Monty Python" animations. It's weird, but it works, and it elevates "Pixel" from just another fun point-and-click adventure to a class all its own.

Growing children need a host of nutrients to grow and develop properly, including these two nutrient superstars:
To see just how much milk it takes to boost vitamin D levels without lowering iron stores, Canadian researchers looked at 1,311 healthy children between 2 and 5 years old. Parents gave information about their children's milk consumption and bottle use, and the children's blood levels of vitamin D and iron stores were measured.
Since 4 cups of cow's milk resulted in a larger decrease in iron stores, researchers point out "the importance of vitamin D supplementation during the winter among children with darker skin pigmentation to maintain vitamin D stores." They also noted that bottle use isn't helpful for improving iron or vitamin D status in children, possibly because whatever is in the bottle might be replacing other foods and drinks in the diet containing these nutrients.
Making sure kids get enough vitamin D can be a challenge. Food sources usually can't be relied on alone, and many of us live too far north to get appreciable amounts from sunlight year round. But beyond giving your kids more milk, there are some other things you can do.

YouFirst Free Room Upgrade?
Hello All, My family and I are booked at the RPR June 8 -15. We are members of the Loews YouFirst program, level Blue, which would allow a free room upgrade upon check in "if available". I was wondering if anyone has had luck with the YouFirst free room upgrade when checking in? Thanks :love:
You are going just at the beginning of busy time, so your chances will be limited.
I thought that might be the case......thanks so much for the response :thumbsup2
We were upgraded to a villa room and connecting queen deluxe at Pbh. We booked 2 garden rooms as they guaranteed connecting :)
We checked in around 12p. And she had placed us in ready rooms...I call it our universal pixie dust though. But we were blue level You First members. |
It all depends on the day, what time, and how busy. It's luck if there is extra rooms. But when it's slower it's a pretty good chance. :thumbsup2
The best way even if busy is early morning checkin. |

Trapping for endlines
I am using javascript to show a real-time preview of a news article before the user submits it. All of the fields are properly updating, however I want to trap for endlines on the textbox. Before we go any farther, here's the related code:
Code:
Code:
 Content of the article will go here when you finish writing the article. Please use no more than 500 words.
  <textarea rows="5" cols="50" name="story" maxlength="3000" onBlur="set_text()">Content of the article will go here when you finish writing the article. Please use no more than 500 words. </textarea>
What can I stick in there so that the script will properly recognize breaklines and make my string::replace() successful? Thanks in advance!

Nevermind, scratch that question, I figured it out.
For those of you interested, PHP was stripping out the \n and actually replacing it with a newline character, which caused javascript to choke. I put in
instead, and it worked.

taiwan from china
Never thought I'd see so much butthurt because of a map...
This is the truth about Africa :p
Before I saw this map I would intuitively have guessed Africa might be roughly as big as the US + China + whatever sundries you pick. Damn was I wrong.
The funniest thing about "The True Size of Africa" article is the two lists.
Both the large list on the left side and the more complete list on the right side (both of which are sorted according to country size) have China above the USA despite the fact that the corresponding numbers indicate that the US is geographically larger than China by about 27 000 km2.
What's the deal? Propaganda? Anti-US sentiment?
I don't now why the lists are like that, but I notice that Alaska is not included as part of the US. While Alaska is no doubt smaller than it appears on a Mercator projection, it is still much more than 27000 km^2.
I don't now why the lists are like that, but I notice that Alaska is not included as part of the US. While Alaska is no doubt smaller than it appears on a Mercator projection, it is still much more than 27000 km^2.
You overreacted bro...Taiwan is not included as a part of China, so is Alaska missing geographically...that's the real blunder
Just saw this one and judging by the data sources I'd say - as a geomatics professional with 20+ years experience - that the cartography is pleasing to the eye yet inherently inaccurate.
If Africa was represented with a credible continental outline, as presented in say the African Marine Atlas, rather than the current crayon version, the size comparisons might be more believable. The spatial analysis is also short on detail eg. What projection and datum were used to calculate the areal extents of the comparison countries/continents?
It would be ironic if an equal area projection was used to derive those tabular figures while highlighting the visual distortion of said countries within the Mercator global view!
I simply cannot think of this topic without thinking of the West Wing episode where this was tackled. Enjoy:
I understand the false representation, but don't you think that comparing a nation to an entire continent is also somewhat misleading?
I agree. It tends to reinforce the tendency of the rest of the world to view Africa as a monolithic entity notwithstanding the tremendous diversity of ethnicity, history, language, religion, cuisine, politics, etc. in the African countries.
Except he left out 20% of the United States by not including Alaska.
17%. No need to exaggerate.
I find ever so interesting their articles as this of "The true size of Africa"I'm encomiastic of ask you to continue with this healthy politic of a really important information.Thanks very much for all of this.
Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico are left out of the American projections. They are part of the United States.
Let's not slight Guam, American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands.
this is ridiculus
Africa in maps is shrunk 40% to make it fit with South America.
The Pangaea Myth is the only reason Africa is made small.
"The Pangaea Myth"
Double post.
Why are not all 50 of the United States in the map?????????????????
Yeah, but what fits into Russia?
Question to the author of the above maps - where are Bulgaria and Romania, as I don't see them on the map of Eastern Europe? Or he uses regions to fit his map rather than show any kind of accurate view of the world (Poland, Czech Republic and Slovenia are in Western Europe...go figure)
Very interesting article. Just wanted to note that with the birth of South Sudan, Algeria is now the 10th largest country in the world.
