The term "fret dress" refers to leveling and reshaping the frets. As you play your guitar, the strings wear down the frets because the strings are made out a harder metal than the frets. It is basically like taking a file to a chunk of steel. The steel will get worn down over time from the file. The strings leave little divots in the frets where they come into contact. Dressing the frets levels out these divots and makes the fret perfectly flat again. Then the fret just needs to be re-rounded or crowned. This is a very common repair, as guitar frets will wear down as they are played.
Before we start this repair, you should place some kind of covering over your magnetic pickups, so the filings and metal dusk from the frets will not stick to the pickups. The metal dust can be attracted to the pickups and collect on the pole pieces. Built up dust will cause poor pickup performance and can ruin your pickups eventually.
A loose fret ends occurs when either of the ends of a fret are not fully attached to the fretboard. Fret ends can be slightly or extremely loose. Usually, fret ends become loose because the guitar has been dropped or banged up against something dislodging the fret. Fret ends can also come loose because they were never installed correctly in the first place. Regardless of the origin, check to make sure that all of your frets are securely attached to the fretboard. If any of the frets are loose, you will need to fix the fret ends before you dress the frets. For instructions on how to fix loose fret ends, see the fix loose fret ends page.
It is very important that your neck is straight before you level your frets. If you level your frets while the neck is not straight, too much relief or back-bow, your frets will not be level after the neck is straightened. You will have taken a large amount of material off of the frets without actually fixing the problem. For instructions on how to adjust the truss rod, see the how to adjust the truss rod an electric guitar page.
Next, you will want to clamp your guitar down, so it won't move around on you when you are trying to level and recrown the frets. There are several ways to clamp your guitar down. Probably the easiest way to clamp it down is to place your guitar on a table and run ratchet straps over the body and hook them to the edges of the table. You don't want to ratchet them so tightly that you break something on the body, but you want them tight enough to keep your guitar stationary. After you have your guitar snugged down to the table, you will need to make a support for the neck. You can make one out of a 2x4, or you can buy one. The support should not hold the neck higher than it naturally lies when the guitar is strapped to the table. The neck should not be propped up by the support. It should be resting on it. It is EXTREMELY important not to put the neck on the support before you strap your guitar to the table. If the support is too high and you tighten the pressure on the straps around the body, the neck can break off or crack. The importance of the neck support is to secure and stabilize the neck from the pressure exerted by leveling the frets. The supports are there to absorb and redirect the pressure from the neck joint--not lift the neck up in the air.
Once the guitar is securely fastened to the table, you will need to tape off the fretboard leaving the frets exposed. You can use 1/2" scotch tape for the lower frets and 1/4" tape for the higher frets. Leave one end of the tape hang off the edge of the fretboard, so you can easily remove the tape after the fretwork is complete. Do not wrap the tape around the neck or down the side of the neck. Removing tape like this can remove finish as well. Keep the tape on the fretboard.
Take a sharpie marker and mark the tops of the frets. The marker will be a guide as to what parts of the fret have been leveled and which need to be leveled.
Next, you will need a fret leveling bar. A fret leveling bar is a rectangular piece of steel tubing that has two sides machined down to a precision flat finish. Take a piece of 320-grit adhesive sandpaper and attach it to the precision flat sides of the leveling bar. You can purchase one of these leveling bars directly from me. I manufacture several different sizes of fret leveling bars and offer them at a fraction of the price of the "brand name" ones. Go to the leveling bar page to learn more about my fret leveling bars or contact me about fret leveling bar purchases. Once you have the sandpaper on the fret leveling bar, run the sandpaper side of the leveling bar back and forth against the frets . Also, run the bar side to side. When you are running the leveling bar back and forth make sure to watch the nut of the guitar. One whack of the leveling bar and the nut can come clean off. Do not hit the nut with the leveling bar. Level the frets until all of the sharpie has been sanded off the tops of the frets. Pay attention to how much material you are sanding off the frets. If some frets are extremely low, you will have to sand a lot of material off the rest of the frets to bring them down to size.
After all or most of the sharpie is off the tops of the frets, re-mark the frets the same way you did it the first time. Lightly sand the frets again with the leveling bar just to make sure all the frets are being hit equally. Then re-mark the frets again.
A crowning file is a special rounding file with concave edges that are made for frets. The nicer crowning files are encrusted with diamonds and come in different grits. I suggest getting a 300-grit file. Place a protective metal plate around the fret wire, so you don't mark up the fretboard. Take the file and round the edges of the fret until it is perfectly rounds--no flat top. A word of caution, you don't want to have pointed or pyramid shaped fret wire. It should be nice and rounded. This might take some time. File both sides of the fret wire until you get a nice crowned top. There should be a thin line of marker left on the top of the fret when you are done crowning it. Hence, you do not file any material off of the top of the fret after you level it.
Now that the frets are crowned, we can start the polishing process. You crowned them with a 300-grit file, so gently sand the fret with 320-grit sandpaper just enough to remove the lines from the file. Repeat this process with 600-grit and 800-grit sandpaper.
Take either #0000 steel wool or a buffer and polish the frets to a high shine.
To remove the tape, simple grab the end of the tape hanging off the fretboard and pull the rest of the tape off the fretboard. Do not just rip the tape off. Be careful because you do not want to take finish off the side of the neck or fretboard.
After the tape is removed, drip some oil soap on the fretboard. Use a piece of #0000 steel wool to rub the oil soap into the wood and clean the frets and fretboard. Then wipe the excess oil soap off the fretboard with a rag.
Follow the same exact steps discussed above to dress the frets on a guitar with a maple fretboard except the follow:
Sharpie marker will bleed into and stain the light maple fretboard. You should not use a marker to mark the tops of the frets of a guitar with a maple fretboard.
Do not clean a maple fretboard with oil soap.
Now your guitar frets are completely leveled and crowned. Your guitar should play better than when you brought it home from the store.

The Hall County Board of Commissioners must decide today whether to upgrade a dirt road in North Hall that was meant to be abandoned years ago.
Old Claude Peck Road is a narrow stretch of road about one-fourth of a mile long and 14 feet wide that once was part of Claude Peck Road.
"They realigned Claude Peck Road and took that sharp curve which is Old Claude Peck Road out of the roadway," said Public Works Director Ken Rearden. "The Old Claude Peck we're speaking of now was never abandoned."
Commissioner Steve Gailey said some of his constituents on the road want it put on the county's radar.
"What they're wanting is to put it back in the maintenance system," Gailey said. "It's like a pig trail. It's got grass and gravel in it, trees hanging over it."
Old Claude Peck has not been maintained by the county in years.
"Technically it is still a county road. But it hasn't been maintained by the county in a long time," Gailey said. "It's just a real screwy situation."
Rearden said bringing the road up to county standards would require more right of way than many property owners are willing to give.
"We require about a 12-foot travel lane and each direction, which is 24 feet, and then you've got ditches and swells to dig to make the drainage work properly, so that's why we require a minimum of 50 feet," Rearden said. "It's quite an undertaking to bring that road up to county standards."
Hall County Planning Director Randy Knighton said in March 2006 the Planning Commission determined that Old Claude Peck Road was a public way.
"The public way status allows for that road to be used to subdivide properties," Knighton said.
Gailey said he would like to see the county accept the road.
"I'm going to make the motion to accept the road and approve it as is," he said.
The commission will vote on accepting Old Claude Peck Road at its board meeting at 3 p.m. today at the Georgia Mountains Center.

Every year, a group of 19 county residents is selected to serve as grand jurors. In that capacity, they investigate the internal workings of the county and, after a year, report their findings and make recommendations.
The county's 2007-2008 grand jury issued a scathing report on the county Assessor's Office, questioning the activities of the executive support staff of then-Assessor Bill Postmus. Since then, a county-commissioned investigation has uncovered evidence of widespread fraud and abuse, Postmus has resigned and investigators have arrested and charged three of his former top lieutenants.
"If the grand jury hadn't taken the Assessor's Office to heart, nothing would be happening today," said 3rd District Supervisor Neil Derry. "They were the catalyst."
The 2007-08 grand jury began its investigation into the Assessor's Office on little more than a hunch that something was fishy about the November 2007 resignation of former Assistant Assessor Jim Erwin, said Gwenn Perez, forewoman of the 2007-2008 grand jury.
"It wasn't clear-cut why he resigned," Perez said. "That made us look very carefully at (the assessor's) operation."
The District Attorney's Office also investigated the Assessor's Office, but Perez said the grand jury was not aware of that probe when it began its own inquiry.
While the grand jury can investigate just about anything the jurors want to look into, the body does have a significant limitation: time.
The grand jury starts each year with a new set of jurors, which makes it difficult to carry on a more lengthy investigation, said Burrel Woodring, foreman of the county's 2008-2009 grand jury.
"When you come in in July, it takes you about four months to really realize what your duties are," he said. "Then by March, you have to start on your final report."
He said the grand jury on which he served, which finished its duties as of July 1, had investigations it could not complete in time.
Some counties, Woodring said, allow at least a few jurors to stick around from one year to the next, allowing for some investigations to either continue or at least not have to begin from scratch.
"The big fault in our county is that we cannot have holdovers," Woodring said. "If we're investigating an issue this year, the new grand jurors would have to start at the beginning."
The county's superior court judges, who select potential grand jurors from applicants for the jury, could allow holdovers, Woodring said.
"In some counties, they do," he said. "In the court's wisdom, they have never had any holdovers in San Bernardino County."
Speaking to a local Democratic club on June 26, county Supervisor Josie Gonzales said more time would help the grand jury wrap up long-term probes.
"The one year they serve is too short - not enough time to do all of the investigation and put together a summary report," she said, "especially when you have overlapping, overflowing, ongoing situations that have not yet come to an end."
But Charlie Umeda, the grand jury's legal adviser, said state law mandates a one-year term for grand jurors and allows holdovers only under special circumstances.
"We checked with different counties, and there are no counties that ... allow holdover grand jurors in the regular course of practice," Umeda said.

Springfield Game Farm Business Recovers from Fire
03/30/13 8:35AM By Charlotte Albright
| Download MP3
On the morning of March 13, fire ravaged a game farm in Springfield.
More than 20,000 quail and 30 pigs died in the 19th century barn. The birds and pork were destined for some high-end dinner plates.
Customers are now frantically trying to buy up what's left.
On that awful morning, as Rick Thompson watched the business he started with his brother Bill go up in smoke, he was heartsick about the dying animals-and scared.
"Once the flames started there was no stopping... we knew there was no salvaging the building and what was inside and at that point it was pretty scary because I really wasn't sure that we had adequate coverage at all. But fortunately we did," Rick said.
So there is enough insurance to get some new sows and start re-breeding quail at Cavendish Game. But all that will take time, possibly until the end of the summer. Meanwhile, the brothers are trying to figure out how to keep their customers satisfied, and cash coming in. They plan to buy and sell turkeys, guinea hens, and pheasant. Ironically, they've been swamped with quail orders since news of the fire spread.
Shortly before Passover one woman wanted to order 50 quail eggs to hard boil for her Seder dinner. She's a loyal customer, so she got a dozen. The brothers want to hatch most of the remaining eggs to replace the burned birds.
In an outbuilding not far from the charred remains of a barn, Bill Thompson checked on the last remaining flock, which is being selected for healthy mothers-to-be.
"For now we're gonna pull a thousand breeders...hens-we have a little old facility we used to put birds on, we built it to collect eggs, it's like a sloped floor, and that will give us some eggs to keep into the quail business... a little bit of cash flow coming in."
His cell phone made a cricket sound not unlike the chirping of the baby quail-- likely another order. Luckily, the Thompsons say, their quail are so unusual-bigger and plumper than most-that chefs and gourmet cooks say they are willing to wait for the next generation of poultry to grow up.
Meanwhile, they will have to put some other delicacy on their menus.

Last week at their Rock & Roll Event, Apple spent a significant amount of time talking about the iPod Touch in terms of its gaming capabilities. This week, the Microsoft Zune HD ships, but thus far Redmond has been mum about its gaming playing abilities. We know there's an "Apps" menu in the UI but not much about what's behind the curtain. We also know the Zune HD is powered by the Nvidia Tegra chip, which has a 3D GPU (graphics processing unit) on board. It's easy to make the connection here, but we haven't seen anything official.
That hasn't changed, but we have the next best thing. A leak! Over this past weekend some videos were posted at Buy.com's BuyTV showing off the capabilities of the Zune HD, and one of the things the videos told us the Zune HD could do was "play games." That's a complete quote, but it was backed up by a short video clip of a 3D driving game. The video has since been removed, but of course the internet clings tight to its content and someone posted a copy on YouTube, which as of this writing is still online. I'll embed it below: the mention is right at the 30 second mark.
Considering the Zune HD launches tomorrow it's really curious that Microsoft hasn't talked more about the Zune's app store and what's going to be in it. Are they leaving this up to early adopters and viral marketing? Seems an odd choice. A midnight Press Release? A secret event known only to a few? Guess we'll know tomorrow.
By the way, if you haven't ordered a Zune HD yet, Dell is offering a good deal: 15% off the price. Engadget has the details.

A Good Loss?Situation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.
One day Harry P went to visit a friend of his named Harold. During his visit, Harry found out he lost something that had been a part of him for years. The strange thing was that he was happy he lost it and knew even if he looked he wouldn't be able to find what he lost.
What did Harry P lose?
Harold was Harry's doctor, who also happened to be his friend. Harry P was happy he lost the weight that he had had for years.

This popular digicam from Canon is easy-to-use, attractive, and takes pretty good pictures and videos. There are a few things that make the A3300 stand out in comparison to other popular cameras in its price range, and there are a few ways in which this camera misses the mark in comparison to other cameras. Check out our Canon A3300 vs Canon 100 HS comparison to see what we mean. Here's what you should know about this popular Canon digicam:
Overall, you can't beat the price of the Canon A3300, especially since it comes with features like lens image stabilization and the ability to capture 16 MP images. On the other hand, if you're looking for 1080p video capture capabilities and the best overall image quality possible, you might want to consider other digicams that cost a little bit more.
One Response to Canon® A3300 Review
I have this camera and it's pretty good! The Image stabilization works extremely well! I use it for pics and reviews on my blog.

Cowboys practice zone read after seeing it against Oakland
OXNARD, Calif. — It's uncertain if the zone-read will become a permanent staple of NFL playbooks or if it's a fad that will be phased out over time. But Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett is certain it's not going away anytime soon, and that's why his team is practicing how to stop it this week.
"It's kind of a copycat league in a lot of ways, so other teams will certainly see what those teams have done and probably make it part of what they do on offense," Garrett said. "So we have to be ready for it."
The Cowboys already have had a taste. Last week in a 19-17 loss to Oakland in a preseason game, Raiders backup quarterback Terrelle Pryor ran a variety of zone-read plays, gaining 31 yards on three carries and completing 6 of 10 pass attempts for 88 yards.
In 2012, Robert Griffin III and Washington helped make the spread-option scheme en vogue at the pro level as they beat the Cowboys twice and won the NFC East. This season, Philadelphia's new coach, Chip Kelly, is expected to feature the zone-read in his offense.
"Teams are adding that into their game," linebacker Sean Lee said. "We have to be ready to defend it. We saw a little bit against the Raiders and it's something we have to address now so we're ready for it during the season. The more you prepare for something the better you play."
Bar slip hurts Weems: The Cowboys' ranks have been depleted after everyone from star players to bottom-of-the-roster chaff has suffered injuries. The most bizarre? Tackle Darrion Weems hurting himself while lifting weights.
"He dropped the 325-pound bench press bar on his chest," Garrett said.
The 6-5, 308-pound Weems, who had a thumb issue that weakened his grip, said he was being supervised by a spotter when he lost control.
"When it slipped out I was scared," added Weems, who missed the last two practices. "But then once it didn't fall on my throat I wasn't."
Still, Weems' return has yet to be determined.
"We'll see how he is day-to-day," Garrett added.
Weems' accident dented the Cowboys' depth, which had already thinned. Cornerback Morris Claiborne missed his fourth consecutive practice Monday after jamming his left knee last week. Linebacker Ernie Sims, defensive lineman Sean Lissemore and Eric Frampton were sidelined as well. Sims and Sean Lissemore hurt their groins Sunday and Frampton his hamstring.
Garrett said he expected all three players to remain out for "a few days." But he also wasn't certain whether they would be available to play Aug. 24 against Cincinnati or Aug 29 against Houston.
"We've just got to see how they respond to stuff," Garrett said.
Webb looking ahead: Last Friday, B.W. Webb had a night he'd like to forget. In a 19-17 loss to Oakland, the rookie cornerback fumbled a punt that led to the game-winning field goal. And according to the website ProFootballFocus.com, Webb also missed two tackles and allowed six completions on seven passes thrown his direction, giving up a total of 65 yards in the process.
The bad experience, Webb acknowledged, "kind of stuck with me a little bit."
"But I got over it," he added. "It's in the past now. I've just got to look toward the future."
But Webb was temporarily sidetracked Monday, when he was limited in practice because of a right ankle injury, and the fallout from his last performance remained a topic of conversation.
"I thought his demeanor in the game was only OK," Garrett said. "You've just got to keep coming and you've got to keep battling. And I'm not so sure he did that as well as he needs to."
For that reason, Webb is looking forward to this Saturday, when he has a chance redeem himself in a preseason game against Arizona.
"I can't wait," he said.
Briefly: The Cowboys released long snapper P.J. Mangieri on Monday after signing him Sunday. They replaced him with DL Travis Chappelear. Chappelear had stints with Cincinnati and New England before both teams cut him. He played at Northwest Missouri State…T James Nelson left practice with an apparent ankle injury. … Rookie S J.J. Wilcox missed his second consecutive practice Monday while dealing with a personal matter.

I like the design, look pretty good. maybe this will help, i think the fonts are too small you need to use atleast 12px font size can't really read the fonts well cause its too small. also the footer copywrite needs a little padding.
About the black list thingy i don't think tf does this, without authors they won't be making any money, so i don't really think such system exist.
I also had the same issue as this awhile back while i was working on a theme i dunno maybe its a wordpress bug or something, make sure you go to Settings<Reading and change this "Blog pages show at most" make sure its the same number as with your post per page in your wordpress query.
query_posts( 'posts_per_page=10' );
Hope this helps.
You're design looks premium to me, they rejected the template maybe because it doesn't look the way its supposed to look like. see screenshot below to see what i mean there is a big empty space on the right side of the screen.http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/9386/70368435.jpg http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/6913/44856147.jpg http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/2185/83944676.jpg
I came across this Theme store that sell wordpress theme and was impressed with the designs and i realized that these themes are all from themeforest, are you guys affiliated with this website?

The iPhone had it first, bringing onscreen pinching and stretching to the masses. The Palm Pre also has it. Thanks to the former and imitated by the latter, multitouch is now the benchmark in the smartphone touchscreen experience.
We have reported in the past that two more Android updates are coming this year, one minor and one major, and we have learned from Reuters that the minor update is alleged to be Android 1.6 Donut and the major update, Android 2.0 Eclair, is alleged to include multitouch. Google's multitouch for Android will likely debut on a Motorola release given Motorola's pledged support to the Android platform and the rumored release is just in time for the holiday season. Buckle up, because things will continue to get interesting.

Particle Physics - Forces, 1 of 2
In chemistry, the reason we could study how materials behave is because they exist, holding together by some kind of forces.
In fact all known forces (or interactions) in the universe can be grouped
into four basic types. Below lists these forces in the order of decreasing strength.
1. The Strong Force
This force is responsible for binding of nuclei.
It is the dominant one in reactions and decays of most of the fundamental particles. This force is so strong that it binds and
stabilize the protons of similar charges within a nucleus. However, it is very short range. No such force will be felt beyond the
order of 1 fm (femtometer or 10-15 m).
2. The Electromagnetic Force
This is the force which exists between all particles which have an electric charge. For example,
electrons (negative charge) bind with nucleus of an atom, due to the presence of protons (positive charge). The force is long
range, in principle extending over infinite distance. However, the strength can quickly diminishes due to shielding effect. Many
everyday experiences such as friction and air resistance are due to this force. This is also the resistant force that we feel, for
example, when pressing our palm against a wall. This is originated from the fact that no two atoms can occupy the same space.
However, its strength is about 100 times weaker within the range of 1 fm, where the strong force dominates. But because there is no
shielding within the nucleus, the force can be cumulative and can compete with the strong force. This competition determines the stability
structure of nuclei.
3. The Weak Force
This force is responsible for nuclear beta decay and other similar decay processes involving
fundamental particles. The range of this force is smaller than 1 fm and is 10-7 weaker than the strong force.
Nevertheless, it is important in understanding the behavior of fundamental particles.
4. The Gravitational Force
This is the force that holds us onto the Earth. It could be important in our daily life, but on the
scale of atomic world it is of negligible or no importance at all. Gravitational force is cumulative and extended to infinity. It exists
whenever there is matter. Your body is experiencing a gravitaional pull with, say, your computer (or anything close to you or
as far away as stars and galaxies) but the effect is so small you will never sense it. However, you can sense the gravitaional pull
with the Earth (that is, your weight) due to the cumulative effect of billions of billions of the atoms made up your body with
those atoms of the Earth. This means that the larger the body (contain more matter), the stronger the force. But on the scale
of individual particles, the force is extremely small, only in the order of 10-38 times that of the strong force.
You will notice that of all the 4 basic forces two of them can be experienced in our daily life. They are also called the familiar forces
which are the electromagnetic and gravitaional forces. Similarly, the strong force and the weak force are called the unfamiliar forces.

Scarecrow Hollow: 10 years of frights
"Decades of Darkness" will be a celebration of the 10 years that area residents and some that come from far away have been spooked at Mobridge's Scarecrow Hollow.
The annual haunt that is now held over two weekends during Halloween has from the very beginning helped to feed the hungry in the area, helped to fund the new addition to the A. H. Brown Library, and helped families in times of need.
In 10 years, more than thousands of people (an average of about 1,400 per year according to news stories during that time) have stood in line to risk being scared enough to faint or become a blubbering, sobbing baby calling for your mom.
Some of those who scream the loudest, cry the hardest and dig their fingernails into other members of the tour group are back in line the minute they clear the back door.
The house has a draw that to some is unexplainable.
The building itself has a story. It is the former Kesling Funeral Home and volunteers who work on the house say the spirits of those who passed through still remain today.
According to Dawn Konold, one four original founders (along with Mike Haas, Michael Oatman and Brian Sippert), the success of the haunt the very first year came as a surprise. The big crowds lined up down the block to participate in the first fright.
"We gave away tickets to the students councils of area schools," she said. "We never expected to be that busy. We ran tours until 2 a.m. It was crazy!"
Konold said the house has evolved through the years with the help of the many volunteers who have spent thousands of hours creating the annual event.
The initial investment to purchase the home for the event was made with the help of local businesses.
"If it weren't for the support from the very beginning of the business community we would not have been able to buy that house," she said.
Konold has watched the house evolve through the years. She has stepped back as one of the lead organizers but has returned each year to be a tour guide.
"There are a lot more props then there used to be. We didn't have the money to do that," she said. "And they have opened up the basement, (she swore she would never go down there) which is a perfect place for scaring people."
Konold said there are a lot more volunteers now and they spend many more hours creating the spooky scenarios for the haunt. Shawn Stickney, who started as a volunteer and is now president of the group.
"Shawn is awesome," said Konold. "And having Stacey Chandler and her family bring in their acting skills and creative ideas have really been a great addition."
Konold said she would continue as a guide until she turns 50. Leading so many tours up and down four flights of stairs can get tiring.
"It is in my blood so when I am done being a guide I will probably do a scare in one of the rooms," she said. "I can't imagine a Halloween without Scarecrow Hollow."
Konold said the house needs to change every year to keep people coming here and the younger group of volunteers keep up with trends when it comes to scaring.
Stickney and Leslie Fischer, who have worked as volunteers on the house for years, know that adding new features keeps people returning again and again.
We know what works," said Stickney. "It gets better and better because people (the volunteers) get better at what they do here."
Stickney said the event is the culmination of hours of work. From planning to building to working on the night of the haunts, and attending events in surrounding communities, the volunteers work year round to make it the best it can be.
"It is amazing the number of volunteers who work on it," he said. "There are 50 or 60 people, from young to older, who work on it."
He said there are families including dads, moms and kids, who help in the construction and during the scares. They volunteer because they believe the haunt gives a safe and fun environment for Halloween. Stickney said the tradition of the event is very important to him and the volunteers. He said many of the people involved are bringing their children to help, and having his daughter, as part of the crew is special to him.
"It has become a part of their growing up here. It is a meeting place for them on Halloween," he said. "They love the thrill of it and go over and over again."
The haunt has become a destination event for many outside of Mobridge.
There are people who come every year from surrounding communities and states. There have been visitors from other countries who stop here when they find out about the haunts.
Stickney, like Konold, said once you become a part of Scarecrow Hallow, it is hard to give it up.
He said from his first year in 2006, when one of the volunteers handed him a chainsaw and showed him how to start it, he was hooked.
"We like providing a safe place for the kids to be on Halloween," he said. "Being a part of the scare is kind of a rush. Hearing the kids screaming gets you pumped up." Fischer, whose first year was 2008, said being part of the annual fundraiser more than just fun.
"It makes you feel good to do something for the community," she said. "But it is like a big kids' playground. It is a big adrenalin rush to watch their faces when you scare them."
She became involved the year after Stickney scared the snot out of her with a chainsaw.
"I wanted to see what it was like on the other side," she said. "What I found was like one big family. We grow closer every year."
Stickney and Fischer wouldn't give many hints of what the anniversary haunt will include, but did say there will be "the pairing of two of your worst nightmares."
Fischer said scary movie buffs would really like this year's haunt.
There will be two separate weekends filled with fright with the opening weekend on Friday, Oct. 27 and Saturday, Oct. 28 and the following weekend, Friday, Nov. 1 and Saturday, Nov. 2.
The kiddie haunts are held on Saturday afternoons from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m.
The Mobridge Outdoor Pool Committee and Library Foundation will help sell tickets and concessions to raise money for their causes.
Stickney said he wants to be a part of this until his body won't let him any more. He said the crew takes great pride in making each year better than the year before.
"I for one did not want to let the people who started this down," he said. "I think we have taken some big steps and will continue to do so."
There is a website, www.scarecrowhollow.com, with more information on the organization and they also host a Facebook page.

New York's Hot 97 FM, announces the re-launch of 'Hot 97 TV' and they recently debuted its first original web series, Los Blancos yesterday Wednesday (July 25). The first episode stars Rosa Acosta. Every Wednesday at noon, they will be premiering a new episode. Watch below:
Los Blancos is a provocative drama that could be likened to a digital version of the Sopranos, flipping the script with two Hispanic female power players, sisters, who put their 'entrepreneurial' skills to work in this underworld. The show features a cast of Rosa Acosta and Shakur Sozahdah. A host of cameos will also be made by Hip Hop and R&B artists, Maino, Mario and Kurupt.
"Los Blancos has an edgy story and good looking cast," says Ebro Darden, VP of Programming. "It should be very entertaining for the HOT 97 audience."

I had a tummy tuck and umbilicus scar revision 3.5 weeks ago to remove hypertrophic scars. The doctor injected steroids at time of surgery to reduce scarring. The new surgery bled considerably in the first 24 hours. It was 36 hours before a nurse would see me. I am now seeing a nurse twice a week to check progress. Will more tissue die or is the worst over?
Does Injecting Steroids at Time of Surgery Increase Chance of Necrosis?
Doctor Answers 6
Steriods do not cause or increase necrosis
From the picture you have umbilicus necrosis and that is the reason for the incision openning . This will heal over time and there is not much to do except local wound care. Please continue to see your doctor .
Steroids and surgery
Steroid injections will not increase chance of necrosis, but as noted can slow healing. This is a good thing when the healing is too aggressive like in hypertrophic scars, but bad if the wound is open. Local care of the area should ultimately lead to healing, but very likely scars will be thick again.
Steriod Injections to Prevent Scarring
Steroids are commonly used to prevent excessive scarring during or after surgery. However, this can result in delayed healing, but not normally necrosis. It appears that you have areas of necrosis at both the belly button and along the scar. Fortunately the worst is likely over, but you will probably need a revision of the umbilicus once all of this has healed. The area will probably heal as a flat scar and then a revision could be performed to attempt the creation of the new belly button in a delayed fashion. Stay with your regular office visits to ensure you heal completely.
Best of luck

Necrosis After Revision and Steroid Injection
Any sort of steroid injection is designed to blunt the natural inflammatory response that occurs with healing. In doing so, it takes longer to heal, but can help prevent increased scarring. However, it can cause delayed wound healing and lead to open wounds at times. Whether this is the direct cause of the necrosis around your belly button is unknown, but the good thing is that even when the belly button has healing issues, when it is all said and done, it usually still looks like a belly button in the long run.
Dead Belly Butoon after Re-Do Tummy Tuck
Surgery involves scarring and a slightly diminished blood supply. Each time surgery is repeated on the same areas the results get diminished because of scarring. It appears as if ALL your scars (Breast and Tummy Tuck are widened) and that you have had complete loss of the belly button as well as an area on your ? right lower incision (which needs to be surgically cleaned - debrided).
Injecting corticosteroids into the wound / scars greatly impedes proper wound healing and is usually done at the time of operating on Keloids. Injecting them at the time of a scar revision would assure poorly healing wide scars. It would not however readily explain the dead belly button and the area on the right. Do you smoke? Do you live with a smoker? Do you have any other disorders which may be associated with poor vascularity of the skin of the tummy? Your unfortunate situation could be a combination of factors BUT it will get better with local wound care and dressing changes. It will take a few months to heal though.
Dr. Peter Aldea
Steroid injection will not increase the risk of infection
Injecting steroids will not increase the risk of necrosis but is very useful when dealing with thickened scarring around the umbilicus.

Not great--Jira disagrees with us.
Here's the problem. Semantically, we divide our work tasks into two categories: Not Done and Done. Jira semantically divides issues into statuses "open" and "resolved"; syntactically, Jira groups issues with statuses {Open, In Progress, Reopened} and {Resolved, Closed}. In Jira, an issue is "open" if its status is in the set
{Open, In Progress, Reopened}and an issue is "resolved" if its status is in the set
{Resolved, Closed}Work tasks that are Not Done are the tasks that are in our sprint backlog and that appear as unspent hours on our sprint burndown chart. We want Jira's default filters and reports to tell us about these issues--the ones that are Not Done (not Resolved or Closed)--but the way developers use Jira, Resolved doesn't mean the same thing as Done.
In its default configuration, Jira is a code writer's tool. Its default filters and reports reflect the code writer's perspective of task completion: if the developer wrote the code, his unit tests passed, and he committed the code, he marks the issue Resolved/Fixed. When he marks an issue Resolved, it is no longer "open" and it disappears from the default filters and reports. Examples of these filters and reports are the issue counters on the Browse Project page, the Components and Versions filters, and the Version Workload Report. That Jira's Resolved is not the same as the team's definition of Done makes it difficult to use Jira to track which issues are Done and which are Not Done; it is difficult to use Jira to track sprint backlog and burndown. Jira's Resolved is not equivalent to the team's definition of Done.
Yet Jira is an excellent tool for tracking issues and organizing work tasks. We use Jira to organize our product backlog, release backlog, and sprint backlog. Because we rely on Jira, we need the default Versions filters to show us which issues are Not Done yet in each backlog. We need the default Version Workload Report to show us how much effort estimate remains in our sprint backlog, so we can keep our sprint burndown chart up to date. How can we reconcile Jira's focus on the individual developer with our need for a team view of Done?
We solve the problem by creating a custom Scrum workflow. Our Scrum workflow has a new state, In Verification & Validation. Semantically, this state is a different kind of "open" or Not Done. Now, an issue is "open" if its status is in the set
{Open, In Progress, In Verification & Validation, Reopened}We add transitions to and from In Verification & Validation to support the new workflow. When a developer thinks he completed his part of an issue, he clicks Ready for Verification to mark it In Verification & Validation, and the rest of the team knows it is fair game for testing. We mark an issue Resolved/Fixed only when the team as a whole thinks the issue is Done.
Team members can now communicate different kinds of Not Done to each other through Jira, and Jira's default filters and reports still work. The Components and Versions filters correctly show the issues that are Not Done, and the Version Workload Report accurately shows remaining burndown. Problem solved, and Jira is our friend again.

WASHINGTON (AP) One of the world's leading entertainment companies is close to reaching a deal to open a Madame Tussauds wax museum in the nation's capital, officials familiar with the talks confirmed.
London-based Tussauds Group has been negotiating with a developer for space in the old Woodward & Lothrop department store building downtown.
"They're very close to a deal," said Steve Moore, president and chief executive officer of the Washington, D.C. Economic Development Partnership, a non-profit group that promotes economic development in the city.
A company spokeswoman in London acknowledged that Washington is one of the North American sites being considered for the company's international expansion.
The Washington Times first reported last month that Tussauds was in talks with the city.
The theme park and attractions operator currently operates wax museums in Amsterdam, London, Las Vegas and New York, where hundreds of wax figures are on display. Others are under development in Hong Kong and Shanghai.
The museums feature life-size wax models of historic figures and contemporary celebrities such as Albert Einstein, Elvis Presley and Britney Spears. Guests are encouraged to pose for photographs with the figures. They can also sing or act out scenes with images of their favorite entertainers.
The D.C. wax museum site would be located near the National Spy Museum, the Smithsonian Institution's American Art Museum, Ford's Theater and the Verizon Center, which is home to the city's professional basketball and hockey teams.
Conservative estimates suggest the wax museum could draw about 35,000 visitors a month, but Moore and others suggest the success of the privately owned Spy Museum indicates attendance could be much higher.
In 2002, the Cleveland-based Malrite Company expected the Spy Museum to attract about 500,000 guests annually, but attendance has consistently topped 700,000.
"We have had 2.5 million visitors to date," said Amanda Abrell, a Spy Museum spokeswoman. The museum's adult admission is $15 per person. Tussauds charges between $22 and $31 at its U.S. locations.
Tussauds was founded in 1802 after Madame Tussaud brought to London a waxwork collection that she had inherited in Paris. After touring the country with the exhibition for 33 years, she set up a permanent museum in London.

Scientists at the University of Kentucky are making an investment in the future of energy research by going back to school—elementary school. A partnership between the UK Center for Applied Energy Research (CAER) and three Lexington elementary schools aims to kick-start interest in scientific learning at a young age, by putting working scientists into classrooms to lead fourth-graders in hands-on demonstrations and experiments.
The "CAER 101" education program, which began with Russell Cave Elementary School 12 years ago, was expanded this year to include Liberty and Yates as well. CAER scientists presented the same, one-hour lesson to each of the three schools. Their goal was to complement and reinforce "disciplinary core ideas," part of the new science standards.
The core idea in this instance was "What is energy?" Anne Oberlink, CAER associate research scientist, focused on the many different forms that energy can take.
"We were demonstrating sound energy, light energy and electrical energy," Oberlink said. "We had a coffee can that we put a piece of paper on, so we would tap our fingers on that. Or we had a tuning fork that we would hit and put under water, up to our ear."
Robert Pace, CAER assistant research scientist, demonstrated how collisions transfer energy, using a giant Newton's Cradle.
"You might have seen the desktop toys that have the balls that clink back and forth, but mine is a little bit bigger," Pace said. "The energy is always getting transferred around; it doesn't just disappear. It certainly allows me to really teach the principles that I'm trying to get across in a very visual and hands-on kind of way."
Andy Placido, CAER associate research engineer, focused on how electricity is produced.
"We just basically had a pole with a magnet in the middle and copper wire outside," Placido said. "You flip the magnet in the middle really fast, and you could actually show them on a multimeter that electricity was produced. We took a hand crank and hooked it onto hobby generator, and we used that to power fans and lights and buzzers."
But that wasn't the only energy being generated in the classroom. Placido says the children's enthusiasm for learning was contagious.
"Once they got into it, they really had good questions—like they wanted to know 'Why does the number sometimes go negative?'" Placido said. "I would get pumped up every time, because you could tell the kids were interested. I am sure that's what teachers really enjoy, when they see they're getting through to the kids or the kids are interested in what you're talking about."
Teachers and scientists alike say they hope that children who participate in the program will come away from the experience not just with a greater appreciation for the work that scientists do, but also a greater desire to "do science" themselves.
"A number of years, I've had kids draw what they think a scientist looks like," said Josh Radner, a science teacher at Yates Elementary. "And you'll see a frizzy-haired white man in a lab coat. Today we had people of all colors. We had men and women, and people speaking with different accents. That's really neat for (the students), because our kids are very diverse here, so they can see that scientists could look like them."
Liberty Elementary science teacher Kristi Fehr says she wishes she had received a similar introduction to science when she was in elementary school.
"I know when I was a senior in high school I was trying to decide what I wanted to be when I grew up," Fehr said. "If I had had more opportunities like this it might have been an easier decision."
Jack Groppo, a CAER principal research engineer who has been part of the project from the beginning, shares Fehr's sentiments.
"The reason I do it is because I wish somebody did it for me when I was in school," Groppo said. "That's my primary motivation. Whenever you can take real engineers and scientists and bring them into a classroom and let children know that real people do these kind of things, right here in your own back yard, I think it makes science more real to them."
CAER 101 has three basic goals: to get scientists into classrooms, to provide experiments that teachers can easily duplicate, and to challenge other groups to do the same kind of outreach.
Groppo says the program is one that can be "pre-packaged" so that it may easily be copied by others.
"We'll give you the resources," he said. "Find a school in your neighborhood and just go do it. It doesn't take that much time. It's a phenomenal benefit—to the teachers and especially the students."

I think the low-level directory code should never allocate args->value unless it's explicitly asked for a CI match. That way there's only one place in xfs_ci_lookup to free it either.Also the low-level name duplication code could be factored out a little more ala: /* * If a case-insensitive match, allocate a buffer and copy the actual * name into the buffer. Return it via args->value. */void xfs_copy_ci_name(struct xfs_da_args *args, const char *name, int namelen){ if (args->return_ci_name && args->cmpresult == XFS_CMP_CASE) { args->valuelen = namelen; args->value = kmemdup(name, namelen, GFP_NOFS); /* error handled in higher layers */ } } Instead of adding args->return_ci_name it might make sense to just replace the last four chars there with an unsigned short lookup_flags and just set bits in it.
There's already a "flags" field in xfs_da_args and only the low 16 bits are currently used for attr operations. We could use 5 of the high bits for these flags, or just add another flags field (which are used for things other than lookup).

Twin Virtues: Inequality of Outcomes & Equality of Opportunity©
Twin Virtues
Ultimately, the most successful societies find the balance between the twin virtues of inequality of outcomes and equality of opportunity.
The new politics must marry the twin virtues of unequal outcomes and equality of opportunity.
When too few get too much everybody loses.
Feminism is about women living their lives on their own terms, marshalling the resources of the society to make that possible, and men embracing this as vital to a successful society and their own liberation.
Can it be that striving for equality of opportunity however imperfect the process not only benefits the individual but also creates benefits for the society that are unintended but wonderful?
Economics must be a 'moral enterprise' as much as politics claims to be. Economic outcomes need to be framed in terms of right and wrong not just efficiency if only because these often align in surprising ways that are good for society and the economy.
My vision of Canada is that any Canadian child from a family of limited circumstance can expect to have a chance at lifetime of unlimited opportunities.
Free trade is a wonderful thing. Time and time again economists have proven that free trade creates enormous wealth for each country 'on the whole'. Historians have shown that free trade is usually associated with rising political, social and cultural liberty. The perennial problem is that free trade always creates tremendous disruption for thousands even millions of individuals often concentrated in one geography, and where the state is idle, not investing in best in class instruments of social justice, free trade can be a permanent ticket out of the middle class, down, not up.
Tax policy should be founded on the principle of generating steady tax revenues sufficient to maximise environmentally sustainable economic growth in order to fund fair government.
Public policy should be designed to decrease inequality before the law and increase equality of opportunity.
Capitalism is not the problem; the problem is what we do with capitalism.
Content is always more difficult to argue than conspiracy.
Let the state regulate and the market operate (most things).
Welfare strategies are best designed as a hand up, not as a hand out.
Political debate should not be fact free fighting.
Explanation lasts longer than eloquence.
Always favour empowerment over dependency.
The most enduring public figures are embraced for the causes they fought for and not the concept of themselves they hoped others would remember them by.
Find your voice and don't be the echo of somebody else.
It is possible to operate on two different levels: the practical, cautious and conservative; and the realm of ideas, open, free, and radical.

An Evening with Sinbad
For more than two decades, comic powerhouse Sinbad has courted laughs with a clean standup style that teases the hilarity out of quotidian activities, earning him a spot among Comedy Central's Top 100 Greatest Standups of All Time. Eschewing profanity, the comic zeroes in on the common everyday experience, quipping about relationships, ordering at McDonald's, and the outrageous price hikes of rocket fuel. Sinbad amps up the humor of simple situations with a malleable face that exaggerates expressions and a confident delivery that vocalizes inner thoughts to hilarious effect. Unlike knock-knock jokes and adaptations of Thomas Pynchon novels, the funnyman's style translates well to the small and silver screen, leading to appearances in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Celebrity Apprentice, and Jingle All the Way.
State Theatre New Jersey
The State Theatre New Jersey was saved, as its website states, from "the ravages of time." Built in 1921 as a vaudeville and silent-film palace, the venue fell on hard times in the 1970s. In 2003, however, a $3 million renovation restored the State Theatre New Jersey to much of its original glory, as crews painstakingly rehabbed the ornamental plaster, terracotta exterior, and actor holding cells. Inside the theater, a stunning chandelier sparkles more brightly than ever below the venue's signature dome.

Patience will reward England
England are on the threshold of a memorable victory having comprehensively outplayed Australia for the majority of this match.
For Steve Waugh's team, the rapidly evaporating dream of taking the series with a five-nil whitewash appears too hard to take.
Matthew Hayden was summoned to the referee's room after play to explain how a window in the Australian dressing room came to be smashed shortly after his dismissal.
And, unusually, nobody from the home camp appeared at the close-of-play press conference.
They would do well to reflect on Nasser Hussain's honest and gracious behaviour following the overwhelming defeats he has suffered at their hands throughout this summer.
Hayden might have been disappointed with the lbw decision that went against him: it was borderline, nothing more.
Justin Langer's was far worse - the ball pitched well outside the line of leg stump - and Michael Vaughan also received a dreadful decision when his magnificent innings was cut short at 183.
One day he will reach his double century and then someone will pay!
This match has been a triumph for England, but there is still the small matter of seven wickets to claim.
Caddick and Hoggard both looked threatening on the deteriorating surface, but Harmison was dreadfully inaccurate once again.
There is the touch of Devon Malcolm about Harmison in that he does not really seem sure where the ball will go.
Accuracy can still be developed through hard work and although Malcolm remained a scattergun throughout his international career, there is no reason why Harmison should not become more reliable.
Because their resources are limited, England need to make inroads quickly on the fifth morning.
It seems inconceivable that Australia can score the 361 more runs they need to win - even though they have Steve Waugh and Adam Gilchrist still to bat.
However, the Australians can still frustrate England who will be throwing everything into the morning session.
They need to guard against becoming panic-stricken if wickets do not fall, and do nothing more than depend on the basics of bowling straight and catching well.
If enough deliveries land in the right place, England will win the game but tension will run high if the partnership between Bichel and Martyn remains unbroken after lunch.

The battle of Blackwater draws near. In the hour of its arrival, The Hound and Bronn find themselves at odds inside a brothel. Just as they are about to fight one another, the bells toll to signify that King's Landing will be in the mist of war.
Tyrion heads out to battle, but not before saying a brief goodbye to Shae. Meanwhile, Joffrey insists that Sansa kiss his sword for luck, then taunts that one day she will kiss the blood of her brother off of that very sheaf of metal. Of course, Sansa takes her own dig by implying that Joffrey will not be fighting on the front lines and will therefore not be in the thicket of the most danger.
Stannis and Davos throw the Lannisters off their scent by sending an abandoned ship through an obvious passage; as the wildfire burns, the women take refuge inside the city's walls.
Maester Pycelle has prepared Cersei by giving her a poison, should she decide that the battle will not be won by the Lannisters. With this in mind, she and Sansa talk. Cersei explains what Sansa will have to endure should she become Queen and explains the purpose of sitting with the women - for comfort. Just as Shae's lack of ability during a curtsy raises Cersei's suspicion, Lancel interrupts with news that Stannis's men are at the gates. Cersei insists that Joffrey be safely escorted away from the fighting. Naturally, once this is accomplished, Lancel returns with information that the Lannister bannermen have lost hope now that their leader has run from the scene.
As Shae flees to find Tyrion, she finds that the little man has been perilously wounded during the battle. Covered in blood, he appears to be unconscious.
Sansa goes to her room to bar the door should the Baratheon fighters have impure intentions with her. There, she finds the Hound, who has abandoned the fight now that the sea is up in flames. He urges Sansa to go with him, promising to take her to Winterfell, but she refuses.
Furious and frightened, Cersei finds her son Tommen and tries to comfort him, fingering the poison as she tells him a children's tale. Just as she is about to have him sip from the bottle, Tywin Lannister and Loras Tyrell open the door to reveal that the Lannisters have won the battle.

This I'm not so sure about. If you read the README file for the kernel sources, it says: If you ever need to change the default root device, video mode, ramdisk size, etc. in the kernel image, use the 'rdev' program (or alternatively the LILO boot options when appropriate). No need to recompile the kernel to change these parameters. Also, the Documentation/ramdisk.txt appears to say that you can change the size, without recompiling. -- Regards, Juha PGP fingerprint: B7E1 CC52 5FCA 9756 B502 10C8 4CD8 B066 12F3 9544

The Queensland Liberal National Party may find the state's finances in worse shape than expected if it wins the March 24 election, NSW Treasurer
Mr Baird has been in close contact with LNP leader
Mr Newman has also been consulting conservative colleagues in Victoria and Western Australia to tap into their electoral experience.
The LNP has already borrowed some ideas for the Queensland campaign, including WA's "royalties for regions" program and the creation of a Queensland Projects Office within state treasury, an approach based on the Infrastructure Partnerships Australia model in Victoria.
The LNP has announced plans for a commission of audit to look at the state's finances, a policy used in the first year of the Howard government in 1996 and borrowed by federal Opposition Leader
Mr Baird said the LNP may be in for a similar shock to that he claims the O'Farrell government confronted when it took control of the state's finances after defeating the long-term Labor government in NSW last year.
"My advice is it will be worse than it has been portrayed," Mr Baird said.
"There is no doubt, Tim Nicholls – should the LNP win the election – is facing a monumental task in turning Queensland's economy around. But fiscal responsibility is the new premium."
Queensland is likely to record a budget deficit of $4 billion this financial year.
Both Labor and the LNP say the budget won't return to surplus until 2014-15.
Interstate rivalries aside, Mr Baird said he wanted Queensland, which is counting the costs of losing its AAA credit rating in 2009, to return to its former economic glory.
"Competition is a good thing for Australia and, perversely, a good thing for NSW," he said.
An election victory for the LNP in two weeks would increase the conservative bloc against Prime Minister
Mr Newman said he had received tips from southern colleagues about the transition to government, including a 100-day action plan.
"We have taken advice from our colleagues interstate so if we do win we'll hit the ground running," Mr Newman said.
"What we want to do is stand up on the things that matter. We have a common cause.
"We will also be sending a message to Julia Gillard over the carbon tax."
The Australian Financial Review
