If you have the fear over the upcoming Thief, then I have a soothing salve to help alleviate the symptoms. The Dark Mod, a fairly well-known Doom 3 modification, has been freed from the sci-fi prison of Doom 3 ownership: the modders fulfilled the promise they made years ago and used the source code of the engine to turn their wonderful Thief restoration into a free download. Now all you need is a capable PC, an internet connection, and a cowl. That last one is non-negotiable.

Outta Dunwall: Thief Remake The Dark Mod Updates
With Dishonored reactivating long-dormant stealth glands the world over, now seems a fine time to revisit perhaps its primary ancestor, the Thief games. Doom 3 total conversion The Dark Mod is a mightily ambitious attempt to recreate Thief – its mechanics if not its actual missions – in a more modern, and very much darkness-orientated, engine. It's just had a major update and a promising new mission added too.
I'm going to insert a 'Read the rest of this entry' link now, if that's okay.

The Dark Mod Update, Aiming For Standalone
Thief-inspired Doom 3 mod The Dark Mod has received an extensive new update over here. What's most interesting about this appears at the end of the announcement, saying that the build does not utilize the recently-freed Doom 3 source code (and as such requires Doom 3 multiplayer to be installed), but that the team are going to try and start integrating the mod using it, so that they can create a standalone game. The team have asked for help in making this happen: "The Dark Mod can not be a standalone release until all the Doom 3 art assets and animations have been fully replaced. If you wish to help with that effort, please visit The Dark Mod forums and post in the "I Want to Help" sub-forum."
Steal This Game: The Dark Mod Alpha Demo
Upset that I didn't notice this immediately, but news reaches me from Broken Glass Studios' Subjective Effect that they've released an alpha demo of their long-in-progress Doom III mod The Dark Mod. For those who haven't been following it, it's basically… well, creating Thief, but in the Doom III Engine. It'll consist of a set of tools to allow you to make Thief-inspired levels and also a campaign made using those tools. It's a ludicrously hubristic aim, and while I admired that, I also thought that like most of these enormous projects, it'll all amount to nothing.

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. -- A despondent Frank Yallop lamented his side's "piss poor" defending after his Chicago Fire side threw away a two-goal lead to fall 3-2 to Real Salt Lake in a dramatic climax at Toyota Park on Saturday.
The Fire's head coach could only watch on as his charges collapsed under a very late RSL onslaught, with two goals from Joao Plata and one from Alvaro Saborio giving the visitors all three points in the most dramatic of finales.
This arena has been no stranger to late drama in recent games, but this latest disappointing scenario means the Fire are still without a win eight games into the season and remain rooted to the bottom of the Eastern Conference with six points.
And a visibly dejected Yallop didn't hold back in his post-match summary of his side's capitulation.
"I haven't seen the goals again, but obviously it's piss poor defending," he told reporters. "I don't think we really wanted to win that game because it didn't show. If we wanted to we would have tried, put our head through the ball and cleared things and be good at that stuff but we didn't. So it's back to the drawing board for us. I thought we were going somewhere but now we've had a total collapse in a game we should have won."
Yallop, a two-time MLS Coach of the Year with San Jose Earthquakes, admitted his side were second best to Jeff Cassar's side, who now top the Western Conference with 17 points.
"The first half was good, the second half we got totally outplayed. It was naïve from us," Yallop said.
"At some point you have to figure it out, we were very passive second half and I can't do much about that. Once you start playing that game, you're in it and you've got to stand up and be counted. Some of our guys ducked out of it, which was disappointing for me because I don't think we have done that this season other than the last 20 minutes of this game."
Despite leading 2-0 at the break, the Fire's Sean Johnson produced a couple of excellent saves to keep his side ahead. Salt Lake dominated in the possession stakes, 65 percent to 35 percent, and it came as little surprise when their dominance paid off with the two decisive late strikes from Saborio and Plata.
"We've not had a collapse like that happen to us, that was a collapse in the second half," Yallop conceded. "Take nothing away from them, but we should see that game out, even at 2-1. How about 2-2? Not a 3-2 loss, you just can't do that.
"I've got to figure out who's going to be punching and fighting the whole season and the whole 90 minutes. We've got to see that game through. No matter what they do, we've got to be man enough to make sure we don't concede any goals, and we didn't."

Joffrey Lupul scored the lone goal of the shootout as the Toronto Maple Leafs halted Dallas' two-game winning streak, edging the Stars 4-3 Friday.
Lupul was the hero in the third round of the sudden-death format, moments after taking a high-stick to the face that wasn't called. Blood was still trickling from his face when he beat Dallas netminder Kari Lehtonen with a well-aimed wrist shot.
With the teams tied 2-2 following an entertaining 40 minutes, Clarke MacArthur put Toronto ahead at 6:55 of the third period on the team's first shot of the period. The veteran forward took a sensational pass from center Tim Connolly and redirected it past Lehtonen.
Radek Dvorak evened things with 7:13 remaining, taking advantage of extended Dallas pressure with a wrist shot past Jonas Gustavsson.
Eric Nystrom's goal four minutes into the game put the Stars in front early, but Toronto rebounded with two goals in a four-minute span later in the period. Joey Crabb's redirection of defenseman Dion Phaneuf's point shot evened the score, and Phaneuf put the Maple Leafs ahead with a blast that eluded Lehtonen.
Nystrom evened things with the only goal of the second period, finishing off a three-way passing play by firing a shot from in close past Gustavsson.

Tropism-modified conditionally replicative adenoviruses for aggressive meningiomas - Jerry Jeff Jaboin, MD, PhD
The Foundation's Harold Amos Medical Faculty Development Program was designed to provide four-year postdoctoral research awards offered to historically disadvantaged physicians who are committed to developing careers in academic medicine, to improving the health of underserved populations, and to furthering the understanding and elimination of health disparities.The grantee hypothesizes that conditionally replicative adenoviruses (CRAds) represent a viable and attractive targeted strategy for the treatment of aggressive meningiomas. The goal of this project is to construct a tropism-enhanced CRAd. He will utilize the Tissue Slice Method, a highly relevant tissue-based, pre-clinical technique to prioritize enhanced CRAd. Then it will be tested in three cross-functional and stringent in vivo models. He will use an orthotopic murine xenograft model of meningioma to evaluate liver: tumor binding. The Syrian golden hamster model will be employed to test the toxicity of the resultant infectivity-enhanced CRAd. He will also design a pseudogenotyped canine CRAd to evaluate the safety and efficacy in a large, mammal animal model.

Gunman kills 12 in Denver suburb at Batman movie - chicagotribune.com
Seems like most everyone around these forums is on the west side of town or further into the mountains, hope all you locals didn't have people in Aurora last night.
1 Attachment(s)
This happened less than a mile from my house. I was sound asleep, but it's obviously rocked the community I live in. Really, really sad and no reason for this.
yeah and if your looking on twitter so many people are clamoring that its gun controls fault. Totally disregarding the american way of life and the vicious life style we have. Obviously the person commiting the crime had some type of mental issue to have felt this was his only option. Simply implying that he was crazy is dismissive and does not adress the issue properly. Growing up in arizona I can tell you ive been around guns and learned to respect them when I was about 6 years old. Being that this guy was from SO cal and a recent drop out of med school I cant see him ever having shot a gun as he took in 4 guns had multiple clips for his Assualt Rifle. While its sad to say that he killed 12 people and in part it is a blessing. I think its points out he obviously has a lack of farmiliarity with guns as someone with expirience would have done more.
He did know how to make a bomb and whats to say if he didnt have a gun he wouldnt have trapped the theatre and possibly done more harm like he planned to at his apartment? personally I dont own a gun because I dont need to but to say nobody should be aloud to carry a gun is not adressing the issue IMO. Here in az you dont need a permit to conceal a weapon and while jared laughner was a tradgedy in tucson Id like to think people in arizona are farmiliar with guns so natually they respect them more. Just my 2 cents
Thoughts and blessing go out to everyone affected by this horrible tradgedy. hopefully as a society and nation we can learn to look for solutions rather then finding people blame. This just spawns dislike and hate which makes us no different.
Admin Edit:
Your post has been moved to this thread:
Please people, keep the political comments where they belong. This thread is not the place.
My niece lives there and was watching the same movie only in a different theater, thank god.
I just can't understand what makes people go bat shit crazy like this. Prayers go out to all the victims and familes.
Dunno if it made the news in the US, but one of the people who was killed in the theatre was a Canadian who had been in the Toronto shooting a couple of weeks ago and had barely avoided being killed there.
This one makes you wonder if "Final Destination" is a documentary.
Oh that's a rough on. Snowolf you're right on the family thing I remember when Tim McVeigh did his shit my cousin was dating his sister, not that families proudest moment. That shit takes a toll, name changes and shit.
yea apparently there are several people in the area named James Holmes as well... gonna suck for them for a while i imagine....
RIP for the fallen, but most of all thoughts go to those left behind to deal with the loss...:(
The guy was formally charged today with "two dozen counts of first-degree murder and more than 100 other violent offenses"

The new office building of Energinet.dk in Ballerup is a low-energy building. The lowest energy class possible has been achieved exclusively by means of optimising the design and geometry.
The building has an annual energy consumption of only 47,7 kWh/m2. Incorporating solar panels, ground water cooling and heat pumps in the project would further reduce the annual energy consumption to only 35 kWh/m2.
The new office building of Energinet.dk covers 4,000 m2. The simple architectural design has resulted in a flexible and easily comprehensible building consisting of three elements: meeting facilities on the ground floor, a uniting atrium and workstations on the top floor, which floats above the sloping landscape. The atrium is identity-creating, open and active.
A significant part of the environmental objective has been to ensure a high degree of flexibility. The open layout of the first floor as well as the light walls and simple, reusable elements will make it easy and problem-free to change the interior layout in the future.
The design of the new office building of Energinet.dk has been
based on three overall environmental objectives
Henning Larsen Architects has designed a low-energy building
solely by means of optimising the design and an geometry -
resulting in an office building in the lowest energy class
possible. The building has an energy consumption of only 47,7
kWh/m2 a year. Incorporating solar panels, ground water cooling and
heat pumps in the project would further reduce the annual energy
consumption to only 35 kWh/m2. The building meets the requirements
for low-energy class 1 according to Danish building regulations
without the use of energy producing technologies.
The design is based on the integrated energy design concept where
the building is designed to achieve the lowest energy class
possible - and thus the lowest possible maintenance and operation
In order to reduce the energy consumption of the building, the
design team has focused on:
Shape and orientation:. A compact building
(large volume compared to surface area) reduces the heat loss and
use of materials.
Functional positioning:. The energy consumption
can be reduced significantly by means of a proper positioning of
the various functions of the building. Permanent workstations are
placed to the north-west and north-east to avoid overheating and
Daylight optimisation:. By testing different
daylight scenarios, the use of light and heat from the sun is
optimised and the use of artificial lighting is reduced. Tailoring
the light to the specific needs further optimises the use of
artificial lighting. In the design process, light simulations have
been applied to optimise the design and reduce the energy
consumption for artificial lighting and cooling.
In the design process, a comfortable inflow of daylight has been
ensured by means of the following:
The offices feature three-layer low-energy windows and, in some
places, north-facing overhead lights. The offices only have direct
sun from the west in summer. For the rest of the year, the rooms
are in shadow.
The building has a green roof serving several sustainable
purposes: It reduces the load on the public sewage system by means
of slow percolation and evaporation. In addition, the collected
rainwater is used for flushing the toilets and watering the garden,
which contributes to reducing the overall energy consumption for

China grads feel job market chill amid global crisis
By Ian Ransom
BEIJING (Reuters) - Holding fresh CVs but lowered hopes, hundreds of thousands of Chinese students flocked to recruitment fairs across the country this week as the government warned them not to be fussy amid the global financial crisis.
"I'll take anything so long as it's over 1,000 yuan ($146) a month," said an IT graduate surnamed Wu, clutching application forms at a job fair at the Beijing Vocational College of Electronic Science.
"I wanted to find a job as a web designer, but the situation with IT companies at the moment is very bad. They've all been shedding workers and the competition is fierce," said Wu.
Wu is among 6.1 million students entering the workforce in China next year, 500,000 more than last year, as the economy faces slipping into single-digit annual growth for the first time since 2002.
Having complained of declining graduate salaries over the last few years as the number of degree holders has exploded, job-seeking students are now frustrated as companies cut salaries and staff amid a bleak economic outlook.
"The global financial crisis has really affected the job markets. Companies have scaled back their recruitment plans," said Zhang, a 22-year-old accounting student.
"My parents have given me some pressure to find a steady job," she said, standing next to a company's recruitment stall thronged by students.
China's graduate recruitment drive aims to find nearly 400,000 jobs for graduates through job fairs in 259 cities involving more 30,000 companies across the country. Continued...

The curious sense of indignation that possessed Laodice was purely instinctive.
He took to wife a woman of the house of Battus, by name Laodice.
The glance she shot at Laodice was full of cold anger that she had permitted herself to be surprised in company with Philadelphus.
Laodice held him fast only for a moment, when it seemed that she was wrenched away.
In the Christian's heart he knew how narrowly Laodice had made her lover's mark for her.
Laodice half rose as she read them and pressed her hands together.
Laodice rose at sign of this concerted deference to Philadelphus but sat down again, with her lips compressed.
Laodice appreciated the boy's concern for them but could not make an attempt to explain.
Laodice got upon her feet in her agitation and raised her veil to stare at this slander.
Laodice caught her breath in an agony of indignation and distress.

UN's top Ebola official wants preparations for 'flare-up'
10:04 22/08/2014
Conakry -The United Nations' new pointman on Ebola said on Friday he was preparing for a possible flare-up of the epidemic in West Africa.
"We're either close to a plateau, but then we'll drop, or we're in a phase, an inflection point, where it is going to increase, and I absolutely cannot tell," David Nabarro told AFP during a stopover at Conakry airport en route to Monrovia.
He was determined to "ensure that every piece of our apparatus is at its optimum so it could deal possibly with a flare-up if that's necessary".

Central location near Via Roma Pretty good breakfast included. Told all rooms had balconies. To get to our balcony we would have had to climb through a window. They said they accepted credit cards, buy we were told us in no uncertain terms they wanted cash. Bring ATM's cards. Little English spoke. Had a free shuttle, but they never responded to my emails.
The room had a balcony, very clean and the staff were friendly The noise in the morning. Doors banging, shouting and talking really loudly at 8am! It would have been nice if they also spoke some English. If I didnt know how to speak Spanish I dont know how we would have been able to understand anything.

Here's how I'd do it. In configure.ac, add: AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE([newlocale]) if newlocale exits, then so do uselocale and freelocale; if newlocale does not exist, then we go to fallback code. In bootstrap.conf, add localeconv to gnulib_modules. Then gnulib's localeconv is guaranteed to exist, and we are guaranteed that our fallback code will compile even on mingw.

Oregon Closes Session Without Slashing Education
SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Oregon lawmakers closed on another legislative session yesterday. An improving economy allowed for an end to years of painful budget slashing and brought an increase in school funding. Howver, majority Democrats' achievement of $6.8 billion in school funding was overshadowed by the failure of weeks of negotiations over pensions.

PEORIA, Ariz. - With Cliff Lee and Felix Hernandez, the Seattle Mariners have what could be the best 1-2 rotation punch in baseball.
The question is whether the Mariners can get consistent pitching in the other three rotation slots.
Ryan Rowland-Smith and Ian Snell are expected to be the third and fourth starters with Garrett Olson, Jason Vargas and Doug Fister candidates for No. 5.
"We are confident we have the pitching,'' Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik said Saturday.
He said Rowland-Smith, who was 5-4 with a 3.74 ERA last season, came into camp healthy and with a strong arm. Zduriencik said that if Rowland-Smith pitches down and keeps a consistent tempo, he will be a good pitcher.
Snell had his ups and downs with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Last season, he was 2-8 with a 5.36 for the Pirates, but when he came to the Mariners, he was 5-2 with a 4.20 ERA in 12 starts.
"When Ian got here, he had lost his confidence,'' Zduriencik said. "We think he's a different pitcher now. He understands tempo. He holds runners on. He gives (batters) different looks.''
Lee, the 2008 American League Cy Young Award winner with the Cleveland Indians, was acquired in a trade from the Philadelphia Phillies. Hernandez won 19 games last season.

The classic Maple neck through, solid Alder body TAT returns as a strictly limited edition model. Available in two retro sponge finishes (Dark Night and Snow Cloud) and sporting a new hard tail!
The Caparison TAT series was one of the first Caparisons put into production from the original 1995 line up and now, due to popular demand, this iconic guitar returns as the TAT-FX and comes complete with a Gotoh solid Bridge and Tailpiece and a hand applied finish for a one off special run, and only in very limited numbers.
The solid construction of this guitar can easily handle the most extreme drop or open tunings and the placement of the volume control means that you can shred away without any danger of inadvertently 'cleaning up' your signal while in a rage, or turning your knuckles to pulp! The Caparison TAT-FX features Caparison's own design high-output pickups, controlled by the new Schaller Model M, 5 way Mega Switch, which now gives the guitar even more pickup switching options.

A new implicit numerical method for the space and time fractional Bloch-Torrey equation
Song, J., Yu, Q., Liu, F., & Turner, I. (2012) A new implicit numerical method for the space and time fractional Bloch-Torrey equation. In Cheng, Wen, Sun, HongGuang, & Baleanu, Dumitru (Eds.) Proceedings of the 5th Symposium on Fractional Differentiation and Its Applications, Hohai University, Hohai University, Nanjing, pp. 1-9.
In recent years, it has been found that many phenomena in engineering, physics, chemistry and other sciences can be described very successfully by models using mathematical tools from fractional calculus. Recently, noted a new space and time fractional Bloch-Torrey equation (ST-FBTE) has been proposed (see Magin et al. (2008)), and successfully applied to analyse diffusion images of human brain tissues to provide new insights for further investigations of tissue structures. In this paper, we consider the ST-FBTE on a finite domain. The time and space derivatives in the ST-FBTE are replaced by the Caputo and the sequential Riesz fractional derivatives, respectively. Firstly, we propose a new effective implicit numerical method (INM) for the STFBTE whereby we discretize the Riesz fractional derivative using a fractional centered difference. Secondly, we prove that the implicit numerical method for the ST-FBTE is unconditionally stable and convergent, and the order of convergence of the implicit numerical method is ( T2 - α + h2 x + h2 y + h2 z ). Finally, some numerical results are presented to support our theoretical analysis.

Canada Cut the Corporate Tax Rate by 30%, So Where Are the Jobs?
September 1, 2012 at 5:32 PM 1 comment
Republicans are forever telling us we must lower the corporate tax rate because if we do, corporations will start "investing in America" and they'll create jobs. What Republicans are really saying, of course, is that they want to put more cash into the pockets of their corporate buddies but let's pretend we're buying their for-public-consumption argument. Let's pretend we do what Canada has done over the last six years which is to lower the corporate tax rate by 30%:
Tax cuts create jobs. Paul Ryan and the Republican nominee Mitt Romney told a group that Canada just cut their corporate taxes to 15%.
Paul Ryan was obviously insinuating that these tax cuts put America at a disadvantage, and that the Canadian economy is going to explode and take all of our jobs. Corporate taxes in 2006 were already just 21%. In January 2011, Canada cut the corporate tax rate to 16.5%, then cut them again to 15% January 2012.
Overall, Canada has cut corporate taxes by almost 30% in 6 years.
The only problem is, the Canadian economy isn't blasting off at all. It is still stuck in an anemic recovery. just like the United States. The Canadian economy only grew 1.8% in the second quarter of 2012. The United States on the other hand has a much higher statutory corporate tax and the economy grew at 1.7% in the same quarter. How can this be? Higher taxes hurt job creation, right? Yet both countries are stuck in the same slow recovery.
Unemployment in Canada has only dropped 1% since the recession ended, less than the drop in the United States which dropped almost 2%.
Unemployment should be dropping like a rock in Canada, not staying pace with the United States.
And don't forget, when a politician talks about cutting taxes for one group, that means either they raise them for another, or cut services. Do we really want to lower corporate taxes? How does that get balanced out? By cutting infrastructure? Schools? Something's going to have to give.
Oh, and remember when they told us if we cut taxes on the rich, they'd create jobs? Oops. That didn't exactly pan out so now they're trying to pull another one with this corporate tax cut BS. Enough already.
P.S. Hey Canada. You have a beautiful flag.

For the first time in history, Canada has a better GDP AND a better GDP to debt ratio than the United States! They lowered not just the corporate tax rate, but the personal tax rates as well! Now the highest personal income tax rate in Canada is 29%. Obama wants to raise our top bracket to 40%.
Canada has also recorded the fastest employment growth in the G-7 since mid-2009, with employment having increased by almost 760,000 net new jobs. The number of new jobs in Canada is now close to 335,000 above its pre-recession peak, making Canada one of only two G-7 countries to have regained all of the jobs lost during the global recession! Woops! I guess the facts don't corroborate your assertions.
Lowering corporate taxes booster foreign investment to where now 10% of Canadian jobs are tied to foreign investment, compared to only 5.3% back in 2005.
Regarding their GDP rate of growth, their rate is far more stable than ours! They've not had a growth rate or loss of more than 2% in the past 20 years! They've actually never had a loss of more than 1.8% in the past half century, while we dropped 8.9% in a single quarter!
Strong banking regulations help keep their rates more stable.

There are a couple of things that I really like about that revolver photograph.
Seems to be held to some some very tight & close tolerances and I can't see any sign of a cylinder gap at all.
No daylight showing through there at all.
Looks much bigger than your ordinary 38s for some reason.
Maybe bigger than a 38 but, still very Special.
Revolver? What revolver?
Oooohhhh... I see it now
You have to make the shot when fire is smoking, people are screaming, dogs are barking, kids are crying and sirens are coming.

The app trap: Which so-called free apps are facing legal action?
The ACCC is considering taking legal action against the makers of 'free' apps after a rash of complaints have been lodged about hidden in-app costs. Pip Lincolne explains.
Consumer watchdog the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) are responding to complaints against so-called free phone and tablet apps, considering legal action against those that don't clearly alert buyers to the cost of in-app purchases and upgrades.
The ACCC have found there may be a case to be heard against the app creators, citing misleading and deceptive conduct following a sweep of the 340 most popular apps. These apps are advertised as 'free' in the app store but many have costly in-app purchases options which are integral to progressing through the game.
They're not naming and shaming yet, but games like The Simpsons: Tapped Out and Smurf Village are amongst a bad bunch, with kids toting up credit card debts, sometimes into the hundreds of dollars.
Enforcement action
The ACCC is currently in talks with Apple and Google, the biggest players in the app game to find a fix for this costly problem.
ACCC Deputy Chair Delia Rickard says, "It is through their sites that people access these games, they have responsibilities. At the moment we are looking at whether or not we want to take enforcement action."
The Australian Consumer Communications Action Network (ACCAN) called for monitoring of apps and in-app purchases earlier this year, but found no need for formal regulations.
Its Chief Executive, Teresa Corbin, advised the app industry to clean up their game, "It's not good enough to extensively use the word 'free' in the product description and reasonably expect consumers to see a small disclaimer at the bottom regarding in-app purchases," she said.
What's on the hit list?
The ACCAN specifically mentioned being wary of the following apps:
- The Simpsons: Tapped Out
- Tap Paradise Cove
- The Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle-earth
- Smurf Village
ACCAN Policy and Campaigns Officer Erin Turner says, "It's not OK to advertise a game as free, especially to a child, and then structure the game so the user must pay to keep playing. When people download a game for free, they should be told if it will end up costing them money down the track. At the moment this is not happening and it needs to change."
Buyer beware
While it's great that the ACCC are considering cracking down on costly, sneaky apps, but parents also need to take some responsibility when it comes to technology. Granted, devices are being developed so quickly it's hard to keep up, but if you buy a piece of technology and it's connected to the internet you have a responsiblity to know how it works and how it's being used.
It's not enough to snap up an iPad or iPhone or one of the cool new Android devices. You need to find your way around it, research any pitfalls and adjust accordingly. You are also responsible for the way it's being used.
When you're downloading an app, be sure to read all of the accompanying documentation (it's in the App Store alongside the download option) and click through the reviews. A quick Google of the app's name will reveal even more details about your prospective new game, helping you be super-informed.
Not only are in-app purchases a potential problem, some of the app content may be inappropriate or the app may be really dodgy or un-fun! Do your research if you're exposing your kids to this stuff, and if you're an adult playing these games, then you should be smart enough to make an educated buying decision. Get educated!
Top tips for parents buying apps
- Treat your App Store account like your PIN and consider the potential spend every time you login.
- Apple users should disable in-app purchases or download a parental control app for your Android phone or tablet.
- Make sure kids with their own devices have their own accounts NOT linked to a credit card or plan. You can then budget their spend and use recharge cards or vouchers to fund them.
- Talk to your kids about the app trap. Let them know that many apps are designed to profit and some want to trick kids into spending money. Encourage them to be app detectives and find and report those tricky apps to you.
- Spend some time using the apps that your kids are enjoying to experience them first hand.

Pescennius Niger was Governor of Syria when the Praetorian Guard murdered Pertinax and auctioned off the Roman Empire to Didius Julianus. The Eastern legions proclaimed him emperor as a result of their indignation at these events. Niger should have marched immediately to Rome and secured the support of the Senate and dealt immediately with the unpopular and ineffective Didius Julianus. Instead, he stayed in Syria, enjoying the life of luxury that his new position as Roman emperor was able to provide him. Meanwhile, Septimius Severus had gotten to Rome ahead of him and gained the endorsement of the Senate. While Pescennius Niger still posed a real threat to Severus' total control, Severus treated him with respect and pledged friendship. Severus then decided to make a treaty with Clodius Albinus, the governor of Britain who was suspected of having a desire to be emperor but who wisely kept his intentions in this matter secret.
Despite all his pledges of friendship, Septimius Severus was known to use treachery as a tool to attain his goals. Severus relied on the treaty with Albinus to guarantee that he would not be attacked from the rear. He placed the city of Byzantium under siege and attacked Niger at Nicaea, defeating him. Niger retreated toward Syria, and was defeated again on the plains of Issus. Severus then pursued his enemy to Antioch. When Pescennius Niger fled the city after it in turn fell to Severus' siege, he was caught by Severus' forces at the Euphrates River and executed in the Autumn of A. D. 194. The citizens of Byzantium still held out against Septimius Severus, who presented them with the severed head of Pescennius Niger. Even this did not persuade them to surrender, and Byzantium did not capitulate until A. D. 196.

We are looking at a probably move to the Pheonix area late summer or early fall. This will be a brand new area of the country for us to live in. We are excited, but I would appreciate any advice. I will be looking for a pediatrician who is ok with not vaccinating, local health food stores, raw milk sources, we will be looking for a church and home school groups. We have no idea yet where we will live - likely the Scottsdale area. Anything you want to share would be great!! Thanks!
I grew up in Scottsdale and now live in Tucson.
The Phoenix area is generally politically conservative. It is hotter than hot in the summer, there isn't much water and there are green lawns EVERYWHERE.
I don't know if there are many secular homeschool groups (someone on the unschooling forum said they were having a hard time finding one.) However, my estranged brother lived in Yuma and would go to Phoenix to be involved in a Christian homeschool group in the Phoenix area.
Winters are nice. There is the Scottsdale McCormick railway park, the Phoenix Children's Museum. The Phoenix Science Museum. There's a lightrail that goes through Tempe into Phoenix (a great activity for my little kids in the hot summer months.)
Scottsdale is a wealthy city so we just went to the public pool (ElDorado Pool) that had a great water structure for little kids. They have a nice library system. When I grew up there in the 70s, I lived a pretty sheltered life.
I can't answer most of your specifics because I haven't lived there in 30 years, but I do visit about once a month.
There's Trader Joe's, Sunflower Market, and Whole Foods if you're looking for natural foods.
Created an instant family (7/89 and 5/91) in 1997. Made a baby boy 12/05 adopted a baby girl 8/08. Ask me about tandem adoptive nursing and living as gluten, dairy, and cane sugar free vegetarians. Homeschooling and loving it.
that sounds pretty spot on- we are in scottsdale and enjoy it.
Thanks so much to both of you. That helps a lot. We are not sure exactly where we will live. Scottsdale is the only place in the area we have ever been, so we lean toward that, but we need to look around a bit. We have visited in July, so we got a taste of your "dry" heat. We are coming from South Florida - so heat is nothing new, but we are used to "wet" heat. I can't decide yet which is actually "hotter." Either way, we will definitely spend summers inside or by the pool! Thanks for the information.
My husband worked in Fort Pierce (so right on the coast) for a couple years. He commuted between AZ and Fl. In the summers we would take the first batch of kids to FL for several weeks. It was so cool there, we loved it. Being at the beach, at the pool, or on field trips was so easy in July and August. Not like Tucson (which averages about 5 degrees cooler than Phx.)
So, if you are on the coast of FL you are likely to find Phx MUCH hotter. However, I know nothing about Fl weather away from the coast. Maybe it's warmer inland.

if you have any other questions feel free to pm me, we have been in scottsdale for 6 years. i just love that we can hop into tempe, over to mesa, north scottsdale, phoenix etc.
We do live on the coast, just a mile from the beach. We will likely really miss that. The temperature here is definitely cooler than Pheonix, but the humidity brings the "feel" up quite a bit. We have gotten used to it, I guess - we do get out and about in the summer. It is beautiful here where we live and though this is not where I am from, it is where we have raised our kids - we'll miss it, but we are excited about a new chapter in life!
Whole Foods is probably your best bet for a wide selection of natural foods/products. There is a Scottsdale location even, and that's the one I frequent.
As far as an "alternative" parenting community, I have to say it's a little dry. You can find others with similar views, it's just difficult. Or at least it has been in my experience.
I work in North Scottsdale and my husband works some days in Downtown Scottsdale, so any questions, feel free to PM and I'll try my best.

We live in North Phoenix. As far as the heat, I don't know which is worse either, but if you want to know what Phoenix feels like in the summer, go stick your head in the oven. Seriously. I'm dying right now...

I run a secular homeschool groups and am in the "metro Phx" area :) Our ped also doesnt seem to care if we vax or not. There is whole foods, trader joes, sunflower market, sprouts, healthy habit, as well as some farmers markets on the weekends.

haha so true man its brutal out!
Its so freaking hot here right now. I'm sorry but there is no way to describe this weather other than 'oven like'. Really going to the grocery store takes planning. I either go before 8am or after 9pm. When you walk outside you can literally feel the heat from the pavement coming up. These next 3 months are going to be brutal. Its so dang hot my DS does NOT want to go to the pool until the sun goes down. That being said, I love November to April in the valley.
Scottsdale is $$, you are paying for the zipcode.
The phoenix area has a whole foods chain, sprouts market (which I love) and many of the grocery stores have an organics section.
Homeschooling is great here, no reporting, no testing, just a simple affidavit and no one ever bothers you again!

2017 the year of peace and tranquility.
Hi! I have lived in AZ my whole life. Started out in Tucson, went to school in Flagstaff, came to Phoenix. Been living around the Phoenix area for 12 years now. Yes, summer through October is ridiculously hot! November is just hot and then overly warm;)
Aside from weather, from my experience, Scottsdale is actually one of the better places to do more natural living. That's the plus side. The downside is that you pay for it. I have been looking for a decent more naturally minded pediatrician for a few years. They are truly hard to find here. I have one, but I don't necessarily recommend her as she is one of those docs you can easily hate. However, I did find one up in North Scottsdale that is supposed to be pretty good, more natural, and is good about parents making their own vaccine choices. It's Desert Ridge Children's Center. The only reason I haven't been there is because it's minimally a 45 min drive from my house. But my friend and I have been really wanting to try them out. There really are some good choices in the Naturopathic area, however I don't do that either, simply because of funding since none of them take insurance.
I have met people that do raw milk and I know there is someone in Scottsdale who sells it, but I have no idea who. I don't think it will be hard to find once you get here. Wholefoods, Sprouts and my personal favorite, Sunflower are the stores of choice for natural here.
There are a ton of homeschooling groups here as I have had information from friends that homeschool and love doing it in AZ. I don't know what church you go to, but I don't think you'll have to worry about finding one in Scottsdale.
My husband, father and stepmother all work in Scottsdale, and if you can afford it, it's great for the more natural living. The other cities have some options, but not nearly as many. I tend to go to Scottsdale a lot for many natural reasons.
The others are right that this is definitely a more conservative state and it seems hard to find a good natural community, but if you're thinking Scottsdale, it's a pretty good choice for what you're wanting.
All my best and good luck with the move! If I can answer any questions, I'll be happy to help. Just send me a message.
I've lived in metro Phoenix off and on since the mid 80s. Most PPs are spot on. I just wanted to throw out that there is a great meetup group 'Gentle Moms' in the East Valley. They've expanded a lot, and now we have meetups all over. (I'm in North Phoenix.) I think you have to 'know' somebody to get approved as a member, so you can email me nsuhomer at yahoo dot com if any of you are interested. There are always great recommendations for all of the above mentioned (homeschooling, pedis, raw milk, etc) from the various group members.
Hello! Thought I'd add my 2 cents in..
For natural living, and I believe a better community feel I'd go with Tempe rather than Scotts. It's a college town-next to ASU- and you get a great mix of people and most of them are very health concious. I'd also recommend Whole foods and Sunflower market. Both are great, but Whole Foods in Tempe actually has a raw food section which is amazing to say the least. Sunflower is a little cheaper but still has all the organics. Tempe is great, its a lovely feeling there. You will easily find communities in tempe. Scottsdale is a little.. well, a lot more hmmm.. stuffy ;) thats a term that might work. Theres local art in tempe, street art, a music scene, and many other nice features. As I mentioned before, it's a college town so it has all the perks, including a lot of alternative food spots such as a raw restauraunt (Blue Nile), Vegetarian restauraunts and such.
Let us know when you move so we can all make you feel welcome :)
Scottsdale is nice but big and spread out. I was born in Phoenix and have lived and worked all over. For a growing family, I love, love, LOVE the Anthem area just north or Phoenix. It is kind of separated from the big metropolis that is Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Glendale, Peoria etc....and has a realy small hometown feel--except that in most small hometowns you pretty much must be born there to be accepted.....in Anthem, everyone is from somewhere else, more than half from out of state. There are a lot of parks and activities for kids. The public school system has its weaknesses, like most Arizona public schools. (One of our primary/elementary is pretty good, but I still prefer private.) We have a couple great private schools and quite a few charter schools as well. We have a lot more churches than bars....actually we don't have any actual bars....except the restaurants that have that sports bar/pub feel to the...and we still have many more churches. We also have 3 performing arts groups that attract kids 6 and older, and some do adult programs as well. This is not to mention our big community part and community center.
It's not as affluent or ritzy as Scottsdale, but I love it. Also, with the market being what it is, there are some really great deals here....lots of bank owned homes also that you might not see on a traditional listing service. Feel free to pm me with questions!!!! Some of the neighborhoods and subgroups of Anthem are more neighborly than others...so it depends on how much privacy or interaction you want!
I have spent the majority of my life in Arizona. I grew up in Scottsdale. I lived in New River (on the other side of Anthem on a beautiful acre property), Gilbert and now Tempe. I prefer Tempe hands down to the others. I like that there are enclaves of unique houses. Good food is widely available as a previous poster said. It feels much smaller. I see familiar faces every day. Our family homeschools and there are quite a few options for secular hsing groups. In fact so many that the hsing community at times feels rather fractured. It is definitely hot here, but our family swims and spends time outdoors in the morning or evening. We also really take advantage of the cooler months here. As far as the state goes, there are so many places to explore with a lot of amazing historical gems. Good luck.
I forgot to add that we get our raw milk from a fellow homeschooler. It is available, just ask around your friends once you move.
Hi Mom to Five -
Did you end up moving here?
I recommend the Central Phoenix area. It's rich with art, great local restaurants who are devoted to supporting local farmers and lots of great churches. As for finding like-minded parents, you just have to poke around a little and you'll meet them. Usually in the same places you find local food - like farmer's markets and some churches.
Hope you love it here. I've been here 36 years and don't want to ever move. :)

I'm building a photo library...
I'm building a photo library...
Superjedi has a really good ESB Helmet, made on a Mistery Helmet.
Here's my ESB Mystery helmet from when I trooped as a SE Boba.
Here´s mine, lots of hours later, but it was really a fun to paint it!
Here's my Jaster bucket based on the Sgt. Fang helmet.
I made custom ears for it to match the vented ears seen in the Open Seasons comics.
when it warms up a bit (or i find a garage to work in) i'll start posting some pics. i guess it would really help if i had the color list for rotj.
I don't think there is a "THE" color list for ROTJ like there is for ESB. Though Evan did a fantastic job painting a ROTJ helmet recentally I would probally search for his list.
My list is indeed posted both here and on the another board. There all very "available" colors for the most part.
Wow, these helmets look real nice. Who usually supplies the helmets? Or do you guys go on Ebay?
The man that started the thread offers these buckets.
here's mine
For the most part it is done, maybe a spot or 2 of more damage I will add.
These are all sgtfang buckets people. Sgtfang is trying to put together an image archive of people who have purchased and completed his helmet kit.
Please refer to top post.
I gotta say sgt, these helmets are durable. I had a St Patricks day parade, and when we got back to the hotel lobby I got a really hard hit to the head by a drunk who had to have slammed his fist into the top of the helm. All I heard was WHAM! and felt a minor pain to my head, got a headache, but immidiately looked at the helm for damage, and nothing. And this dude hit the helm hard!

Angry David Nalbandian today urged tennis chiefs to remove Kader Nouni from Grand Slam tournaments after the umpire made a dreadful mistake during the Argentine's Australian Open defeat.
Nalbandian lost 4-6, 6-3, 2-6, 7-6, 10-8 to 16th seed John Isner and claimed the umpire blundered with the final set tied at 8-8 because he is more used to the slower women's game.
Isner, trailing 40-30, saw his first serve down the middle judged out by the linesman but that call was overruled by the umpire.
Amid the noise Nalbandian asked what had happened, looked at the mark and then asked to use the video challenge system. However, the umpire said the player had taken too long to request the challenge and refused it.
Had Isner been forced to serve again the pressure would have been on him but instead the game went to deuce and the American took charge.
At the end of the second-round match, which lasted four hours and 41 minutes, Nalbandian threw his racket onto the court and refused to shake the umpire's hand.
The 2002 Wimbledon runner-up said: "I didn't lose because of that but it was a very bad situation. Can you be that stupid to do that in that moment? It was amazing. I don't think he is going to be able to do this kind of match in future - no doubt about it. I've never seen something like that. The ATP have to check what they're doing for the umpires. He spends most of his time on the women's tour and they serve slower there."

Art of Scotland's John Bellany colors with age
By Ian McKenzie
EDINBURGH (Reuters) - Leading Scottish artist John Bellany banishes his personal demons with an explosion of color in an exhibition charting the his progress over the past 50 years at the National Gallery in Edinburgh.
"John Bellany: A Passion for Life" is a moving retrospective of some 75 oils, watercolors, drawings and prints marking Bellany's 70th birthday this year in a show that will last until January 27th.
Born into a fishing family at Port Seton, just west of the capital, Bellany attended the Edinburgh and London colleges of art in the 1960s. His first youthful exhibition was held, ironically, with paintings propped against the railings outside the National Gallery, which is now celebrating his work.
Exhibition curator Keith Hartley places Bellany firmly in the "realism" tradition of Scottish art and northern European painting, with big, bold canvasses and striking imagery.
His art was influenced by his strict Calvinist upbringing, with the church teachings of hell-fire and original sin. This was strengthened by a visit to the Buchenwald Nazi concentration camp in early 1967.
"I think that had a very deep effect on him. There are paintings in the exhibition about that, and I think that colored his art for several years, looking into the abyss of what human beings could do," Hartley told Reuters.
In the 1980s, Bellany was shaken by the illness of his second wife Juliet, who died in 1985. A heavy drinker, he received a liver transplant two years later which in turn changed his life.
He remarried his first wife Helen, who said the transplant gave him "a completely new lease on life, although he is frail now." Continued...

Georgia Supreme Court Strikes Down State Chartered Schools
"It was kind of like an educational 9/11 around here," said Tony Roberts, President of the Georgia Charter Schools Association. "Everybody's gonna remember May 16 as a day when a decision was rendered that none of us expected."
Even the Governor was surprised by the court's ruling. "I was shocked because we felt that we had made real progress in the charter school movement," recalled Gov. Nathan Deal.
The controversial decision, rendered by a 4-3 vote, revoked the state's discretion to approve new charter schools or direct funding their way. The court ruled that only local school boards should have that authority.
According to the court's majority, the state isn't permitted to create schools of any kind, unless they are "special." And charter schools, the court maintained, are not "special."
BJ Van Gundy, a former member of the state's charter school commission, took issue with the court's reasoning. "In the constitution there's no definition of the word 'special,'" he countered.
The court's definition of a single word has placed many of the state's charter schools at risk. "We'll have to completely rethink what we're doing on the charter front, particularly if we don't get a constitutional amendment," explained Eric Cochling of the Center for an Educated Georgia.
"It left a number of us scrambling," recalled Nina Gilbert, Principal of Ivy Preparatory Academy. "We knew we had a program that worked but we no longer had a document that allowed us to exist."
"It's all about politics and money," lamented one charter school parent. "It needs to be about the quality of education for our children."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|The plastic is there to prevent wear to both the seat belt and the seat covers. Your seat covers won't last long if you just run the belts through an opened seam, even if you stitch them up so they are more finished. Once the seat cover rips, it's ruined.
Seat Belt Slot ideas
I have installed 5 pt harness in one of my vehicles. I am using the stock seats. (high back buckets). Initially I stripped the frames down, modified the metal framework to allow the seatbelt/shoulder harness to come through in the middle vs hung around the sides. For the cover (stock so far), there happened to be a seam I opened up ~4" wide, and sewed some "lockstitches" on each end after I split the seam to keep it from opening up more. It works good but the seam itself sometimes looks a bit unfinished, especially when I have the 5 pt harnesses removed (don't use them all the time, still have stock belts also).
Any ideas on how to sew up a "slot". Aftermarket seats almost all have big plastic inserts in them which I don't really want.
Not my seats but gives you some idea of whats going on.

Ultrazap U.V. Sterilizer 30w
Summer is around the corner and so is the ALGAE
The Ultazap U.V. Sterilizer helps to kill harmfull pathogens and algae which begin blooming as the water in your ponds warms up..
50mm inlet and outlet pipes
The 30 watt U.V Sterilizer can handle ponds up to 30,000L with a maximum flow rate of 140L/Min
30w U.V. Tube included
What does a UV sterilizer do?
A UV sterilizer is used to control infections by stopping the spread of microorganisms from one fish/coral/invertebrate to another through the water. It is also used in pond applications to control free-floating algae. When operated correctly, free-floating microorganisms will be killed by the UV light. Note that the organisms must be in the water that flows to the UV sterilizer. The UV light has no residual effect and will not kill organisms attached to fish (e.g., adult stage of ich) or rocks (e.g., algae).
How is a UV sterilizer installed?
The UV sterilizer should be the last piece of equipment in the system before the water is returned to the pond It should be preceded by the biological and mechanical filters, and any chemical filter or heat exchanger in the system. These units have 50mm inlets and outlets and we use normal 50mm PVC pipe to join them into our systems.
The correct size is about the only complicated part to the use of a sterilizer. For proper use, the UV sterilizer must be matched to the proper flow rate to ensure an efficient kill dose for the organisms you wish to eliminate.
Postage R85.00 for the first item, please add R45.00 per extra item

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - A seven-year-old girl was made to strip naked by her teacher in a New Delhi school for not completing her homework, a police spokesman said on Sunday.
The minor was made to strip completely naked and stand on a desk in her class on Friday while other students were asked to boo her, the officer said.
"The teacher was arrested on a complaint by the parents but she has been released as it was a bailable offence," Rajan Bhagat told Reuters over the telephone.
"This is barbaric," Shanta Sinha, head of the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights, said in a newspaper report. "No one has the right to outrage the modesty of a child."
The commission had issued a directive this year barring schools from calling students "stupid" or "mindless".
A government study backed by the United Nations Children's Fund said earlier this year two-thirds of children in India are physically abused, mostly at home and in schools.

Disclosure Fiasco: Fox Hosts Luntz To Praise Rove Ad
Fox News hosted GOP pollster [1] Frank Luntz to praise a recent anti-Obama ad as "powerful" and "one of the best ads of the campaign." Neither Luntz nor the Fox hosts mentioned that the ad was produced by the super PAC American Crossroads, a group co-founded by Fox News political analyst Karl Rove, or that Crossroads has paid Luntz's firm this election cycle.
Luntz's November 5 Fox & Friends appearance kicked off with a series of interviews he had conducted at Romney campaign events with parents of young children. As explained by Luntz, these parents were worried that their children "would not grow up in the America they grew up in." Luntz then transitioned to a political ad he had "dial-tested" a week ago, labeling it "one of the best ads of the campaign and it does focus on this inter-generational concern and anxiety."
Fox News then aired the ad in full, with the exception of the disclosure at the end indicating its creator. In fact, the ad was released [2] by Rove's American Crossroads last month. Onscreen text identified it as a "Political Ad" and a "Romney Ad." Both Luntz and the Fox & Friends crew failed to mention that it came from a Fox employee's political group:
Compounding the disclosure problem, Luntz did not mention that his firm, Luntz Global, has done business with American Crossroads during this election cycle. In March, American Crossroads paid [3] Luntz Global $46,301 for "SURVEY/POLLING."
Luntz, who reportedly organized a 2009 meeting of prominent Republicans to orchestrate [1] a plan to win back the White House and Congress, was recently hired by CBS News as a political analyst.
Fox News has repeatedly failed [4] to meet basic standards of disclosure this election cycle and has regularly helped promote [5] the work of Rove's Crossroads political groups.

Hanami Throw Pillow
i love the bold shades of this fabric, and the equally cheery design. a great take on the classic floral pattern, with a strong pink or blue to match your mood.

I really like these throw pillows for the living area as well as the bedroom. Sassy looking cats will add fun accent to any decor. The black and pick combination is very stylish.Added 9 Years Ago from BrightandBold
