If you don't know who AJ Barker is, congratulations. You've successfully avoided the most obnoxious story in the college football landscape for an entire week and might actually still have faith in our generation. I envy you. If you're still curious, here's the deal: AJ Barker, the leading receiver at Minnesota, quit the team on Sunday via Twitter (manly) after citing a Thursday afternoon disagreement between he and head coach Jerry Kill over whether Barker was healthy enough to play after an ankle injury. Kill thought Barker was healthy enough to go on the ankle, and accused him of mishandling his treatment of the injury. Barker thought he wasn't ready to play yet and accused Kill of rushing him back. I don't know how bad Barker's ankle was, but considering Kill coaches through freaking SEIZURES I think he's qualified to call a kid out on his toughness. AJ Barker doesn't. He took to Tumblr to write a 4,000 word blog post listing every reason he quit the team. You can rea...

You're going to get a million different answers, because there are a million different brands and types of paint out there, and everyone has their own favorite.
Since you're a beginner, I'd say keep it simple... you always have time to experiment down the road, but for a beginner to have the best chance of success I'd say try Tamiya sprays. I have also had good results with DupliColor automotive touch-up sprays (found at auto parts stores).
Posted 31 July 2013 - 09:49 AM
Welcome to the forum.
Harry's advice on Tamiya paint is good. I like the TS line from them. Nice colors and it dries quick.
My second kit after returning to the hobby as an older adult was a '39 Chevy I tried in two tone paint and it bombed. My advice is to get a few more models under your belt before trying this. It requires some tips and tricks regarding types of masking tape and surface preparation.
Posted 31 July 2013 - 01:11 PM
I used regular spray paint for the main parts but when I used the testors enamel paints I was unhappy with the results ie brush strokes and such.
For that very reason I don't brush paint anything. I don't use an air brush either, everything I do comes from spray cans. Whether you use Testors, Tamiya or Duplicolor auto paints, just take all those small parts, and mount them up for a quick spray. I like to use Styrofoam (from packaging) as bases, and I'll mount small parts onto toothpicks, or even lay down a loop of masking tape and lay the parts on it. No more brush strokes!

This could be a very be expensive hobby right? I do like a challenge though.
A lot of what you buy initially will last a very long time. Buy decent tools and they'll last a life time. With paints, the first few models will get expensive, but the paint will stretch out over your model building for the next few years. I put a date on my cans and I have some that are a dozen years old and still work fine.
Posted 01 August 2013 - 12:53 PM
I was surprised to notice that we don't really have a pinned section in Tips, Tricks and Tutorials about painting. A new thread like this will return a zillion different opinions, but here's a good place to start:
Many other excellent tips here:
Posted 01 August 2013 - 12:54 PM
Considering the cost of some other hobbies it really isn't that bad. The initial outlay can be high but thats true of almost anything.
Posted 01 August 2013 - 01:27 PM
Considering the cost of some other hobbies it really isn't that bad. The initial outlay can be high but thats true of almost anything.
Your first couple of kits can be a bit costly since you will need to acquire a bunch of supplies, different paints, glues, putties etc. But these will last a long time. I have paints that are a dozen years old that I'm still using. I have Evergreen plastic packs that are twenty years old, so those initial purchases will last a long time.
Tools are the same thing. You can start out with an eXacto knife and a nail file. I use 3M brand auto sandpapers, and buy the packs and cut down the sheets into little 2x2 squares. I have a half dozen grits, a pack of each, that have lasted me 10 years.
You can then add a tool per build. If you feel the need, you can buy a small drill set for $15 and a pin vise to work them for $5. A small set of files is also cheap. I don't use an airbrush or even a Dremel, I'm more of a spray can and hand tool kinda guy. You can get a panel scriber, flexi files, a good pair of photo etch sheers and other bits as you go along,
Some of my favorite tools... round toothpicks at $1 a box. I use them for applying glue, and holding parts to paint. I've even whittled small parts like arm rests out of them. I also keep a box of small Dixi bathroom cups handy. I spray paint into the for brushing and touch up. I sort parts in them, I turn them upside down, stab toothpicks through them to use as paint stands. A $3 investment for a year. I also am addicted to straight pins. I believe I bought a box a few years ago and still have plenty. I cut them to short lengths (with metal sheers from my garage) to use as assembly pegs. There's a lot of cheap stuff.
The hobby can be cheap or expensive depending on how deep you get into it and your available funding. It's easy to blow big money on mills and lathes, but that's a choice you can make way down the road. Good luck.

Afghan Recount Raises Chance of Runoff
KABUL -- Ballots from 10% of polling stations in Afghanistan's presidential elections must be recounted, a U.N. watchdog said Tuesday, increasing the likelihood that incumbent Hamid Karzai will drop below the 50% threshold needed to avoid a second-round runoff with his top challenger.
The investigation into ballot fraud, and prospects of indefinitely extending the nation's troubled election, has created strains in an international community heavily invested in its outcome. On Monday, a senior American diplomat at the United Nations left the country after disagreeing with his boss and the Afghan government about how to respond to the vote-rigging allegations.
With nearly 95% of the results tallied, President Karzai leads with 54% of the vote. About 2,500 polling stations across the country will need to be audited and recounted, said officials with the Electoral Complaints Commission, a U.N.-sponsored body charged with investigating electoral fraud. In these cases there was "clear evidence of fraud," the commission said, including ballot stuffing and phantom voters.
Commission officials wouldn't specify how many votes were at these polling stations. However, an official with the Afghan government-backed body that conducted the vote count said the number of votes now under scrutiny appeared to be enough to push President Karzai under the 50% majority he needs to win the election without a runoff.
A second round, while it could scrub some taint of fraud off the August election, also threatens to bring new problems. The Taliban have stepped up attacks on civilians during the elections, and foul weather is likely to descend soon on some parts of the country. Turnout could be pushed to even lower levels than the first round, which some analysts have put at less than 40%. Official turnout figures haven't been released.
Debate on whether to push ahead for an extensive recount has stoked tensions among the foreign diplomats and officials associated with the vote.
The situation came to a head when Peter Galbraith, a top American official at the U.N., lambasted an Afghan election official in a room full of other top officials, according to two witnesses. Mr. Galbraith criticized the Afghan government body's role in not disqualifying suspicious votes, these witnesses said, and argued the absence of a second round would leave Mr. Karzai without the legitimacy to govern.
The clash in turn roiled relations within the U.N., specifically with its Afghanistan chief, Kai Eide, who is Mr. Galbraith's boss. According to several persons familiar with the discussions between the two men, Mr. Eide has argued that it isn't the U.N.'s role at this stage to pick a fight with Mr. Karzai and appear to be taking sides in the election.
Instead, Mr. Eide wanted to let the vote counting continue and the electoral watchdogs in Afghanistan to play their roles. The Norwegian diplomat argued to Mr. Galbraith that the U.N. risked undermining its position as a mediator in Afghanistan if he alienated President Karzai.
"Eide felt Galbraith was putting the U.N. in a place it shouldn't be," said an official briefed on the situation. "It's difficult for a U.N. official to balance such a political position."
After last week's spat, Mr. Gailbraith left the country. One person close to the U.N.'s No. 2 diplomat in Afghanistan said Mr. Galbraith has taken a break from his in-country duties, but hoped to use a visit to the U.S. to meet officials in Washington to discuss the election.
A U.N. spokesman said Mr. Galbraith continued to be part of the body's leadership, and will join Mr. Eide this month in New York at a briefing of the U.N. Security Council. The spokesman added that such differences were to be expected in "a hotly contested election."
Mr. Galbraith, a former U.S. government official, has had long ties to the Obama administration's special representative in Afghanistan and Pakistan, Richard Holbrooke. The two men worked together on stabilizing the Balkans after ethnic clashes broke out in the former Yugoslavia during the 1990s. But the official briefed on the exchange with Mr. Eide stressed that Mr. Galbraith wasn't following Mr. Holbrooke's instructions in desiring to confront Mr. Karzai. "The way he was pushing was not the U.S. government's position," said the official.
Mr. Galbraith has a history of pursuing aggressive diplomacy internationally, not unlike Mr. Holbrooke. He quit the U.S. government in 2003 over its policy towards Iraq after arguing that Washington should grant the Kurdish region more autonomy, if not outright independence.
Another senior U.S. official said that while tensions between Messers. Galbraith and Eide have been an open secret in Kabul, the sour relationship hasn't affected the American Embassy's working ties with the U.N.

The song that kept you up all night
I am finishing up my Masters in Physiology/Neuroscince, and now I've moved on to pet sitting! I'm probably more of a natural with dogs than most anything. I love having a job that is outside and active, and I like all the standard outdoorsy things too: camping/backpacking, hiking, running, cycling, beach ect. My main form of cardio right now is cycling. I can do a walking handstand forever but can't stay still. And, of course, I love a the chill movie night as well. I'm laid back. It takes a lot to make me mad. And if someone points out I'm wrong (and I am) I'll be happy to apologize. I don't get jealous. Jealousy is from mistrust, and I want to trust who I care about.

Being a dog-sitter I spend a lot of time at the dog park. Besides that, I like going anywhere with good people, especially hanging outside at a nice place like the beach.
Right now, my pup.
I enjoy anything active. I love the outdoors and camping. I think moving around a lot makes the lazy sit-in times that much more enjoyable. I love to stay fit and run around with my pup. Any thing with good company is enjoyable.
Getting into my growing profession, I'm reading a lot of books about dog behavior and nutrition. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Game of Thrones.

Went against my better judgement and popped one open. Even after a 5-hour decant, the tannins shut this one down on the palate. Currently reveals tart cherry, macerated berries, and a hint of menthol. Savory notes are minimal at this point. Excellent wine that needs at least five more years in the cellar.

Well this is my last bottle, and I am sorry to see it go. After an uninspiring childhood the '08 Bearwallow continues on a path of positive development. The balance is excellent, and while it still has quite a bit of deep berry fruit, it also has a set of aged elements that continue to develop. I would not go so far as sous bois, but there is a touch of earthiness and warm herbal aromas that add complexity. If I had any more bottles I might let them rest for 3-4 more years. The positive development of this bottling gives me confidence in aging the other Bearwallow wines.

This opened up a fizzy, acidic mess. I double splash decanted and let it sit. Good idea for those opening now. Light colored and red fruited. Definitely tastes Burgundian. Maybe a good, village level Savigny. Lacks some layers but there is good flavor. Will improve over the mid term. (88)

This is evolving in a very interesting direction. I can't believe it's only been four years since release, but the wine is already in a different place while still hitting a lot of the same notes. There is a dazzling array of flavors here with most of the plush, primary fruitiness giving way to tarter fruits like dried cranberry and even a twist of candied orange peel that's extremely reminiscent of the Calera pinots - I probably would have guessed this as a Calera on a blind pour. It also still features the iron and rusty mineral flavors that were here on day one. The most enticing thing about it continues to be the texture. On the entry it's stop-you-in-your-tracks cashmere refinement, but on the back end it shows a serious grippiness.

I've never been a big fan of Alpine, which has always been just a little too ripe for me, but this is easily the best Alpine I can remember trying. Still Alpine ripeness with ripe black cherry and blueberry fruit, but it's not candied, there's none of the cola/root beer character, and the acidity is much higher than I remember in previous Alpine vintages. The whole cluster is noticeable but less overt here than in the past (IIRC Rhys dialed it back in this vintage), showing less as overt soapy lavendar and more as an earthy, spicey, dried barky character that adds nice complexity, especially on the palate rather than on the nose. There's just a hint of high-class oak. Really good concentration, very sappy, but the acidity is high so it works and there's just enough sandpapery tannins to hold the midpalate sap together. I don't see this being an especially long aging wine -- there's some structure but it's not super dense or backward with extract like some Grand Cru burgs can be -- but it is very good now and should repay mid-term cellaring.

My first bottle from Rhys and my high expectations were exceeded. Very pretty nose of red fruit, earth and light spices. Medium bodied and exceptionally well balanced. There's a lot of fruit here, but there's also plenty of background structure and acidity which keeps this solidly OUT of the fruit-forward camp and places it in the elegant and balanced camp. Red cherry and wildberry upfront with just a touch of sour cherry behind along with raspberry and plum towards the finish. Good mineral qualities and acidity on the finish. This wine is just starting to come into its own and I expect further complexity and refinement in the future.

Right from the cellar this was very spicy with out a lot of fruit and I really wasn't enjoying it too much. But with a little air, some soft fruit emerged and balanced that spicy quality out. Feels bigger than the alcohol would indicate. I enjoyed the bottle last year better (more fruit than spice) but with air this is certainly enjoyable.

13.5% alcohol. Moderately proportioned, surprisingly juicy on the front end, but showing rather rugged, structured, and gripping on the back end. Offers up a profile of purple fruits along with more savory suggestions of meat, olive, and a whole cluster derived spiciness. First of three bottles; I will likely wait a minimum of 3 years before opening another.

PnP, tasted, then let a large Riedel Burgundy glass half full sit for an hour at cellar temp before tasting over two hours. Very fresh, young, high class black cherry, rhubarb, baby powder, Xmas spice/incense, celery/bright pleasant green notes, slight hint of sassafras/cola nose. The purity of fruit and baby powder/mineral delineation is what makes this really work. Medium bodied with significant lift, very pure primary fruit in balance with other elements - a nice hidden acidity and refreshing green bite hides underneath and provides tension. Sneaky long, persistent, dry silky finish. An austerity and light body that, combined with the balance and structure bodes beautifully for the future. Significant silky buried tannins assert themselves after sipping this for an hour. At the 2.5 hour mark this is even better - subtly candied red fruits appear, in a very clean, precise way. My first Rhys single vineyard, this has been laid down in my cool cellar since release. If this is any indication (and this bottle is from extremely young vines), my guess is Rhys will be the DRC of North American pinot noir in 20 years. Bright fresh lifted precision, silkiness, and balance are its hallmarks. Nothing here clumsy, ponderous or remotely over extracted. A long distance runner, this is just barely showing its potential, and could be amazing in another decade. This tasting inspired my continued patience on my remaining stash. Phenomenal work and huge kudos to the whole team for crafting such a gem. 94-95+pts pure quality, 97+pts personal preference.

Nearly two years since my last bottle and this hasn't budged much. Full focused nose of black cherry, raspberry and stem-driven herbs. Palate starts lean but gains flesh over 4 hours of steady air. In the mouth flavors echo the nose with an added spice cake kick. Racy acidity keeps it fresh and on a razors edge. Definitely still youthful. On the leaner and elegant side of the spectrum. Will try to save my last bottle for 5ish years and drink this at age 15.

Definitely closed. Reluctant when I popped the bottle, took a good three hours to open up. On the nose it has the old-world Syrah style I hoped for but I'd say the palate wasn't quite there yet - fair amount of acid. Got 2 more bottles, going to sit on them.

Big and round. Agree with the lemon curd or even lemon peel acidity. It also has a mouth coating texture that is very nice. Not Diana's style of chardonnay (buttery oakey), but a refreshing change from our usual whites.

I'm Serious, you have got to be one of the most untalented people on this site, THIS IS NOT TALENT, HECK THIS SHOULDN'T EVEN BE CONSIDERED FLASH, HOLY FUCK!
Football analyst you are not
Cutler is not that bad, but Kyle Orton makes less critical mistakes. The Patriots and Bill Belechick's system is not about having a gun slinger QB like Cutler... that's what McDaniels preached to Denver... Just because ownership didn't get a good defensive coordinator means nothing with regards to the offense.
Bad analysis.
THIS ONE CAN HIT F BALL FANS WITH A 3 or 4.
This gave me a laugh

What's the standard way of storing user preferences in a Flex application for AIR? I need to store simple parameters like lists of recently opened files, window positions and sizes etc.
I think the most flexible way is to use a local SQLite database. It gives you unlimited, structured storage and encryption if needed. See Peter Elst's introduction if you want to get more info.
my favorite way to do it is to combine a VO with LSO (local shared object). If you have a LOT of settings, this doesn't work too well. The advantage is that you get a strongly typed settings object which is therfore bindable and has code introspection and completion.
The cool thing is it's only about 5 lines of code to manage an LSO. In addition, it's also pretty easy to manage a local encrypted store if you want to store any sensitive data.
Now if you want to save settings you simply do
And this solution works on BOTH AIR and Flex in any browser. Newer browsers will delete this data when clearing cookies, so beware of that.
There is no "Standard" way, but there are a lot of approaches, all which boil down to storing the user's preferences, then loading them up at runtime based on some uesr credentials, then changing the app based on those preferences.
You may store them in a server side database, such as SQL Server or MySQL; then have flex call a service which queries the database and returns the data.
You may store them as Shared Objects, which are the Flash version of browser cookies. (I believe they work on AIR applications too). This can get cumbersome with lots of data.
You may store them in an XML document and throw them on the server. Conceptually this is not much different than storing them in a server side database; but could get very tedious if you have a lot of users.
You could also store them, in an AIR app, locally using a SQLite database. SQLite is an embedded database used in Adobe AIR.
I don't bother with any of the fancy stuff. Just store it in an xml file in the application directory. Done.
Filestream does throw an error if you try to store it using File.applicationDirectory. I just trick the program...
Air falls for it every time.

End of Days: The Assassination of John F. Kennedy (Hardcover)
Email or call for price
Out of Print
Here, for the first time in decades, is a gripping, minute-by-minute account of the day President John F. Kennedy was shot, told by James Swanson, author of the New York Times bestseller Manhunt, which so vividly brought the Lincoln assassination to life. In End of Days, he reveals Lee Harvey Oswald's bizarre history of violence and follows John and Jacqueline Kennedy's wildly successful swing through Texas and their fateful Dallas motorcade ride. In the most riveting account ever written about the assassin's shots, Swanson takes us to the sixth-floor Texas Book Depository window to look through Oswald's rifle sights. Swanson also re-creates the last hours of the doomed assassin and the days of national mourning for the president that followed, culminating in a funeral that united the country in a tearful farewell to the fallen commander in chief.
In End of Days, Swanson combines extensive research with his unparalleled storytelling abilities to turn the events of one of the darkest days of the twentieth century into a pulse-pounding thriller that will remain the definitive popular account of the assassination for years to come.
About the Author
James Swanson is the Edgar Award-winning author of the New York Times bestsellers Manhunt and its sequel, Bloody Crimes.

i'm trying to provide an RSS feed on a site built using JSF 2.0. Before i start to code it my self, i thought i'd ask you guys if there is a standard way to do this? Googling around for a bit didn't bring up any results, however i also use CakePHP once in a while and there you can just use different views on the same model (xhtml, xml, csv whatever) which makes total sense since this is what using a MVC pattern is all about. Is there any standard layout, component or something like that i can just use? Thank you guys in advance, every hint is highly appreciated!
I'm not hugely familiar with JSF - however I have recently implemented a number of RSS feeds very quickly using Spring 3 (which internally uses the very useful ROME library).
I made particular use of Spring 3's org.springframework.web.servlet.view.feedAbstractRssFeedView which you can extend to easily allow conversion your domain objects into an RSS view with minimal effort.
The great thing is Spring has other abstract views (such as Atom, or JSON) for easy conversion of your data into other formats for RESTful consumption.
You can use Mashups4JSF
Mashups4JSF is an open source project that aims at integrating Mashup services with both Java and JSF world. JSF developers will be able to construct rich and customized mashups by using simple tags. Mashups4JSF target is to have an integrated set of Mashup tags and APIs.

I stayed in a hotel 6 nights, but I rested as if for a month. Since in my view the hotel has a lot of advantages, I'll try to briefly describe them:
1. Hotel is located in a quiet part of the island - you only hear the birds and crickets,
2. comfortable airport transfer from airport to hotel and back,
3. comfortable free shuttle service between the hotel and the shopping and entertainment destination Dmall near White Beach. Minivan runs throughout the day from 8:00 to 11:15 every 45 minutes,
4. The hotel has a private beach area on the White beach with free shuttle service to both sides,
5. The presence of stable wifi throughout the hotel including land on White Beach - access to the Internet under a palm tree with no problems,
6. A wide range of activities: jet skis, sailing, diving, speed boats, different types of massage, including Filipino, etc.
7. Price - similar 5 Star hotels in Boracay are 2 times more expensive.
8. You are not accommodated in the room, but in a separate villa with a spacious living room with kitchen and breakfast bar, a bedroom, a spacious bathroom and a large balcony overlooking the sea. Each room has air conditioning and a plasma TV. The kitchen is equipped with absolutely everything: a full refrigerator, dishwasher, extractor fan, ceramic hob, utensils (pots, pans, cutlery, tea and coffee maker, etc.). The design of all rooms is very thought out and implemented in a similar style. The interior furniture made of natural materials (cabinets, chests, chairs), silk carpet, real paintings on the walls.
9. The hotel grounds are like an oasis - everything is thought of landscape specialists: along all paths planted with a variety of tropical flowers (hibiscus, etc.), shrubs and palm trees in a very harmonious compositions. In the middle of all this is a swimming pool in the shape of a dolphin. 10. Very high level of cooking restaurant meals - I have never have any desire to eat outside the hotel, 11. And most importantly - extremely professional, friendly but not intrusive staff and management, from the guides to the staff in the hotel restaurant and front office.
Many thanks to all team of the hotel!

Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez Visit New Zealand Children's Hospital (PHOTOS)
Hoping to cheer up the sick children, the 19-year-old singer donned a yellow smiley face t-shirt during their visit. Her boyfriend, 18, has been an advocate for the Starship Foundation, calling on his fans to donate money in the launch of his Believe Charity Drive since November of last year.
Up next, Bieber has one big surprise for his fans.
Bieber is set to have a showcase for around 200 fans on Auckland's waterfront.
The location and time of the concert are being kept top secret to avoid a mob of fans showing up.
The last time the teenage superstar was in New Zealand, a hysterical group of girls shoved his mother out of the way and stole his baseball cap causing quite a mob scene.

Endovasc's CEO to Attend Second Annual ''Lipids, Liposomes & Biomembranes'' Conference
Liposomes are the basis of Endovasc's leading drug candidate, Liprostin, for the treatment of vascular disease. Dr. Dottavio will present an abstract entitled "Administration of Liprostin for the Treatment of Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD)". Liprostin, a liposomal formulation of PGE-1, changes the drug's dynamics and improves its therapeutic index in ways that PGE-1 alone could not achieve. In clinical trials, patients with PVD showed a dramatic increase in walking distance and reduction in pain.
"Lipids, Liposomes and Biomembranes: New Technologies 2005"
"This conference is being organized by some of the most exciting leaders in the field of liposomes and biomembranes. I look forward to presenting the abstract highlighting the success of our Phase II trials of Liprostin to treat people with PVD. This conference offers Endovasc an opportunity to showcase our liposomal nanotechnology, which we believe has the potential to positively impact many areas of treatment for vascular disease and wound healing."

wow. Had front struts replaced, still squeaks, moans and groans over speed bumps. So... Vivian the Volvo is now receiving the defibulator. Inner and outer tie rods ends, control arms, back shocks, new tires and an alignment... Honestly, if she still screams going over the speed bumps, so be it. This is all she is getting. I will post other maintenance she is getting in the appropriate area.... Paid 2k for her, and have about that much added in parts and labor. - Sharon Elliott-Voght
Problem started around 140000 - Visitor
I thought it was the transmission because the car would shudder when slowing or braking; mechanic said an engine mount was bad and replaced it. This made a noticeable difference, but I also think I have the hard shifting problem mentioned here in another post. - Visitor

I am trying to make a user registration form in django.
I browsed through many links but I am still confused. I am making some sill mistake please point it out. here is my code:
from django.db import models
from django.db.models.signals import post_save
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
class UserProfile(models.Model):
mobile = models.CharField(max_length = 20, null=False)
address = models.CharField(max_length = 200)
user = models.OneToOneField(User, unique=True)
def create_user_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
if created:
post_save.connect(create_user_profile, sender=User)
from django import forms
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
class CustomerRegistrationForm(UserCreationForm):
mobile = forms.CharField(max_length = 20)
address = forms.CharField(max_length = 200)
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ('username','email','mobile','address','password1','password2')
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
from django.template import RequestContext
from django.core.context_processors import csrf
from neededform.forms import CustomerRegistrationForm
def register(request):
print "I am in register function"
if request.method == 'POST':
if request.method == 'POST':
form = CustomerRegistrationForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
f = form.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/registered/')
args = {}
args['form'] = CustomerRegistrationForm()
return render_to_response('User_Registration.html', args ,context_instance = RequestContext(request))
what I am thinking is that when I do a
form.save() in views.py, django should create the user in
auth_user table and must insert the values (i.e mobile and address ) in the
UserProfile table also.
but what happening is that it is inserting data in
auth_user table correctly but in the UserProfile table only
id and
user_id coloumns are filled,
mobile and
address both remains empty.
What am I doing wrong ? What else must be done ? Thank you.

"Birdman" is one of the best-reviewed movies of the year and a strong contender in two heavyweight Oscar categories, Best Picture and Best Director. Although most prognosticators have "Birdman" ultimately losing out to "Boyhood," it is still in the running as a "could win."
Most critics have been dazzled by Michael Keaton's performance and the artful camera work—the movie appears to be one long, uninterrupted camera shot. What has been less remarked upon are the remarkable parallels between "Birdman" and an emerging genre of fiction known as slipstream. Slipstream, according to an article in The Wall Street Journal, features a weaving of the real and unreal. Read More »

Gear Question
Ian Pattenden
I am looking to run in Canadian spring...
I am looking to run in Canadian spring time with temperatures ranging in the morning and evening from...4162 F (516 C). Would these tights be too warm for that, would I be better off with the ventilator model for such weather? I am looking to were these as my only layer not as a base for this kind of weather. I plan to run in the winter time, but will look into gear specifically for that next winter, though I do feel these would be a great primary layer for that. For now I am concerned with running this spring and summer.

They are not very warm. IMO they would be perfect for these temperatures.

Thoughts? I just finished it, and it amazed me. My only problem was the need to have a dictionary at all times while reading (after awhile, I just ignored any word I didn't know).
>(after awhile, I just ignored any word I didn't know)
Way to learn.
Stopping every page for a new word or some French dialogue would ruin my enjoyment. I'll be sure to thoroughly learn every word when I reread it :).
i finished the first part (liked it a lot) and then got really bored with the hotel bullshit that is the beginning of part 2
If what you liked was the "lol he's having sex with a loli", then it probably was best you did stop reading.
If not, pick up the book and get back at it!
no what i liked was all the incidents leading up to and including the death of the mother
then its all "lol hes having sex with a loli" and i wasnt feeling it
I just finished it this afternoon. The book was very well-written and structured. Boring as some people may find them, I did enjoy Humbert's little tangents (the part with the diary, the endless lists and descriptions of things).
On the other hand, man was it ever creepy. The book has no graphic sex, but I didn't expect it to affect me this much. I almost took a shower.
I'm close to finishing it. The weirdest part was the scene on the beach so far where he almost gets caught then just fucking leaves.
My only complaint so far with the book has been all the French. Since I'm listening to it at work (as read by Jeremy Irons (fuck yeah)), I can't stop to translate what I hear and the minimal French I know doesn't cover a lot of what he's saying.
I do, however, quite enjoy how wonderfully messed up everyone in the book seems to be, which I interpret to be more the point of the book rather than "lol hes having sex with a loli." Even that I find to now be sort of a misinterpretation, since Lolita strikes me as a manipulative slattern.
Yeah, the random French was irritating, which is why I'm thinking of getting the Annotated version of the book.

Jonathan Papelbon is never going to forget the moment he stepped into life as a member of the Red Sox organization.
"Just like when we won the World Series in '07, we popped a bunch of champagne," the former fourth-round pick told WEEI.com's Alex Speier in August. "I was renting a house, so I didn't care about the damage."
Now, more than eight years after losing his $250 security deposit, sitting on the cusp of free agency for the first time, Papelbon still hasn't lost his appreciation for living the life of a Red Sox. The 219 saves and 2.33 ERA he put up in 414 total games in the organization's uniform might lead him elsewhere in the coming months, but that doesn't mean he's forgetting.
It was a gratitude Papelbon wanted to make sure Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein understood, even with the reliever's time in Boston potentially in the rear-view mirror.
"I told Theo the day I was leaving and packing up that I wanted to thank him for giving me the opportunity to come into this game and draft me as a Boston Red Sox," the closer said. "I don't think he realized to me how important that was. It wasn't about the money. It was about getting drafted as a Boston Red Sox because I came into this world, this major league world, and learned the Red Sox way of baseball. You know, Trot Nixon, Kevin Millar, Johnny Damon, Jason Varitek, Tim Wakefield, Mike Timlin, Curt Schilling. That's how I learned how to play the game of baseball and learned how to survive and compete and handle everything that comes with the big league life. I felt like Theo gave me the opportunity to come in as a Red Sox and learn that. I don't think I could have learned the way of Major League Baseball any better.
"I told [Epstein], 'You know what? That meant a lot to me to be able to have that chance and that opportunity to come in and learn it in this clubhouse. Learn the game of baseball in this clubhouse.' And I told him, too, I said, 'You know what? I want you to know that I get it.' I feel I truly do understand both sides. I understand his side. I understand my side. I said, 'Listen man, if you ever need anything, I'm here for you whether I'm going to be back here or whether I'm not going to be back here.'"
But, even with all the affection towards the Red Sox, Papelbon is ready for the brave new world that is free agency (for which he will be eligible five days after the World Series).
The 30-year-old has long talked of potentially getting to this point, dating back to when he sacrificed the semi-sure payday that would have come with living the life of a starting pitcher to remain in the sometimes volatile existence of a closer in 2007.
The goal was to follow in the footsteps of the man Papelbon routinely referred to as 'The Godfather,' Mariano Rivera, and continue to set a standard for all closers -- both on and off the field. And in most respects, the Sox pitcher did his part.
He set a record by not allowing a run in his first 25 postseason innings, which included a span of 16 appearances from 2005-08. And in his six years as a closer -- the longest run at the position of any player in Red Sox history -- he totaled the third-most saves in the major leagues (219), trailing only Francisco Rodriguez and Rivera.
Financially, Papelbon set the bar to a certain extent, as well. In each of his three arbitration-eligible seasons, he came away with one-year deals that were above and beyond what any pitcher at each stage had managed. In '09 it was for $6.25 million. A year later the number was $9.35 million. And last offseason he agreed to $12 million.
"It really truly isn't all about the money. It's just not," he said from his Mississippi home. "I'm going to a place where I know I'm going to succeed. I'm going to a place where I know I have a chance to win a championship. I'm going to a place where I know that my family is going to be safe, my family is going to like the environment, and everything else that goes along with off-field stuff. That's what I'm looking at.
"If it was all about the money I would have said starting six years ago. If it was all about the money, I would have stayed starting, gone out, pitched my six innings, got a quality start and called it a day. For me it's more about going to a place I can thrive, have fun and enjoy what I'm doing, and win. That's it really."
Papelbon, who still hasn't talked contract with the Red Sox, is heading into free agency at an interesting time. He is coming off one of his best seasons, carrying perhaps the best repertoire of pitches he has possessed as a big leaguer. And, even with the market potentially featuring at least a few viable closers (Heath Bell, Ryan Madson, Rodriguez), the goal set by the Sox righty in spring training ("When the season is all said and done this year, I want to be the No. 1 guy coming out, no question," he told WEEI.com in spring training) is in his sights.
The days of the five-year deal afforded former closer B.J. Ryan may be a thing of the past. And the age of the four-year contract for game-enders might have taken another turn after Joe Nathan did nothing to dissuade the perception of a closer's shelf life after undergoing Tommy John surgery in the third season of his four-year deal, repeating the history of Billy Wagner in the third year of his four-year contract with the Mets.
Still, Papelbon's plan seems to still be in fairly good shape.
And even though Papelbon and the Red Sox did talk about multi-year deals throughout the past few offseasons, none was tempting enough to lead the pitcher away from the opportunity he now enjoys. It's a destination he is entering into with peace of mind, and a healthy dose of satisfaction -- in more ways than one.
"Yeah, I'm very excited," he said. "But I don't think it's all about getting to this point. I really don't. I don't think it's about, I said no to this deal and that deal, or I didn't get any deals that I like so screw these guys, and I'm trying to get to free agency as fast as I can to get out of here. Because that's totally not the way it was. It just really wasn't.
"My six full seasons, as far as off-the-field side of things, were the easiest they could have been. I don't think they could have been any easier. The front office with Theo and those guys, I always said, 'This is where I'm at,' and this is where they are at (regarding contract offers). Hey, that's fine. They were like, 'That's fine Pap. Let's get it done and let's go kick some ass this season.' That's the way it was for six seasons. I can honestly tell you that it was extremely easy for both sides. It's business, man. I don't think that you can do a full-time, multi-million dollar business without getting heated up. That happens. And I think Theo knows that, and I think myself realizing that, it made things completely easy. I really do."
The guys react to what Don Banks had to say and get into some more thoughts on Deflategate. Are McNally and Jastremski ever going to break their silence and give their side of the story? Price says yes ... eventually.
Don Banks talks with the NFL Sunday boys about his reaction to Brady's appeal, where we go from here and the NFL's motives and decisions throughout the process. He also gets into the Pats offseason so far and their weakness at CB. Don gives his take on the AFC East this year and how some of the Pats' rivals have improved.
Greg and Price discuss their thoughts on some of the reports that have leaked after Tuesday from Brady's appeal hearing. The boys talk about what the reaction will be if Brady decides to accept a 1-game suspension. Fans want a complete exoneration, but there's a good chance that they won't get that - how will they react? They also talk with Mike Petraglia and get his thought on the appeal and more.
How long will this rebuild take? How much money will it take to keep Bae Crowder? Are Draft Picks even worth anything? With the Danny Ainge not landing any big names in the draft, and unable to lure any big names in free agency, Sam and Ben discussed if the Celtics are doomed moving forward.
Sam is joined by Jared Weiss from The Garden Report and CLNS Radio to breakdown game 4 of Cavs-Warriors, preview game 5 on Sunday, and analyze the Celtics needs this off-season.
Greg Dickerson and John Tomase discuss the amazing season for the Celts and if they have any chance against Lebron and the Cleveland Cavs in a seven game series. If they do, HOW ... how do they get it done?
Joe Castiglione and Rob Bradford talk with David Ortiz after the Red Sox take game 2 of their four game series with Toronto. David talks about the good pitching they've gotten and the offense finding their way.
Joe & Dave talked to the Sox third baseman, who hit a homer and knocked in two runs in the win in Tampa Bay.
Joe & Dave talked to the Sox center fielder, who was a single short of the cycle in the blowout win in Kansas City.
Don Sweeney, who was hired as the Bruins general manager yesterday speaks with Dale and Holley about his new position and where the Bruins go from here.
The awesomely knowledgeable Fluto Shinzawa calls DJ, Naoko and Pete to talk about his thoughts on the future of the B's. He discusses his column from earlier this week on Cam Neely wanting to give Claude the ax earlier in the season but not getting the ok. Fluto shares his thoughts on Chiarelli's firing, the future for Claude and where the Bruins should go from here. He also gives his opinion on potential moves the team can make, who would fit in here, his thoughts on the NHL playoffs so far and more.
In the final hour of the "midseason finale" as DJ likes to call it, the crew discuss more about the future of the Bruins franchise, the possible power struggle in the front office and who should be the head coach going forward. They talk to intelligent and talented Fluto Shinzawa about all of these thing and more in an excellent interview, and finally, DJ says THANK YOU!
Curt Schilling joined us to discuss the state of the Red Sox.
Doug defended the merits of Boston 2024.
Chris Dempsey explained why Boston 2024 does not make sense for our city.
Lou, Christian and Tim speak with Steve Pagliuca about the 2024 Olympic bid in Boston, and some of the skepticism in the city regarding the cost of the project.
ESPN Insider, Buster Olney, related some stories from the 2001 World Series where Andy Pettite was tipping his pitches to the eventual World Champion Arizona Diamonbacks.
Lou, Christian, and Tim start the show discussing last night's bounce-back performance from Eduardo Rodriguez. But the focal point of the discussion was whether or not it was wrong of NESN to show images of E-Rod tipping his pitches, and specifically which pitches he threw when his chin was tucked into his chest in different ways.
Dale, Michael and Jerry do the postgame for another Sox stinker, and find there is much more interest in how the Bruins and Celtics can build their teams after interesting off-seasons.
We wrap up the day with some of the best in sound that you may have missed throughout the day.
Dale, Michael and Jerry discuss the new contract signed by Dougie Hamilton with the Calgary Flames, and why there's a pattern of guys in their prime wanting out (or being forced out) of the Bruins organization.
WEEI Bruins Reporter D.J. Bean joins Mikey Adams and Lenny Megliola to talk about the signing of winger Matt Beleskey on the opening day of NHL free agency.
With 80 games played for the Red Sox, Mikey Adams wants midterm grades for several players. Also, after another Rick Porcello clunker in Toronto, callers and texters give unflattering Porcello Limericks. Lenny Megliola and Textress Lucy are along.
Danny's early thoughts on Celtics drafting Terry Rozier at the 16th pick
Ken Laird and Ryan Hannable are joined by special guests Mike Mutnansky of the Red Sox Radio Network and Red Sox minor league hitting coordinator Tim Hyers to talk Sox prospects.
