I am from oatmeal,
served fresh in the morning,
with a brown sugar dress, and raisin sequins
I am from penalties and corners,
Part of a center forwarded game
I am from the dainty Japanese maple, whose tender limbs,
once provided a scarlet seat,
I am from the delicate Kawai,
upright and ebony, sounding each morning,
a single flaw etched into it's spotless exterior
I am from the corroded brandy table,
minuscule pits of sadness scratched into it's front
From the upside-down stink horns, residing in the crevices of mildewed fir bark
I am from dirt covered cuticles,
jagged nails, a bruise or two embodied into my skin
I am from rich pumpkin pie,
creamy whipped cream,
From Mom's delicious gravy covered chicken
I am from Chai in the evening,
from Hola and Bonjour
From A job worth doing is a job worth doing well
Hidden notes to self,
pages of markings,
in a shuffle of half shreddd loose-leaf
Kept safely,untouched ,
in it's own glass case
In….It's own imaginary Louvre

I often contemplate my childhood, Mom.
I am a father now, and so I know
Hard work and fun go hand in hand for us;
In your actions were the lessons of Love above all and all along.
I reflect on all that your did for us and gave to us:
Sacrifice, tolerance, patience, devotion, love and tears,
Your heart, your mind, and your soul–
All these you spent on us throughout the years.
You loved us with a never-failing love
With your blanket of Love and guidance you gave us strength and confidence
And then you did the hardest thing of all:
You let us find the roads less travelled and set us free.
Every day, I try my best to be
A father, guide and beacon for our children
Like the mom you were to us.
And, amidst all the effort, we still cannot do much
Without the shower of blessings from you
Now and for ever.

What is such a pure color?
Might it be a dove, soaring the skies?
Free, away from the arguments of the world
Is it as pure as love?
The feeling of bliss?
Or the clouds up in heaven
Sweet smells of jasmines
Blooming in a garden
Scents drifting away in the cool air
Would it be the sky at dawn?
Embroidered with fog?
Or snowflakes falling gently from the sky.
Sweet sugar icing, upon a cake.
Is it that?
Seven colors.
To form only one.
White is a mystery.
I do wonder,

Aww, on the bottom of an old shoe,
Stepped on,
My bones breaking,
Covering my poor,
Next I'm folded and sticky,
Bent in a reeking mouth
Ain't a good place.
No, no.
Caressed over hard, yellow teeth now.
Chewed again, and again.
Caged, in a dispenser.
Locked up all tight.
Only to be chewed in a reeking mouth,
Then break my bones.
After all,
I am

Compressing or not compressing during sequencing has benefits and disadvantages:-
Compressed. The sequenced stream will be smaller; this can be useful where storage is of concern, or more probable, where the network utilisation is of concern. Compressing the sequence reduces the quantity of data streamed over the network to each client machine, this means it will be delivered faster and utilise less bandwidth.The disadvantage of compressing is that the decompression on the client computer is processor intensive and can increase the initial launch time.If you plan to use compression it is recommended that testing on the lowest performing target machine is performed to ensure acceptable usability.
Not Compressed. This is the default and recommended unless the network is deemed excessively slow.
TIP: bZip2 uses less processor cycles to decompress than zLib and is therefore uses less power, is faster, and can process more data, this has the benefit of a higher bandwidth throughput. Testing should always be performed to optimise for your scenarios.
Block SizeBlock size is specific to Feature Block 2 (FB2) as feature block 1 is streamed as a single entity. When the client requests data from FB2, the size of each block determines the amount of data that can be streamed in a single transaction. The larger the block size, the more data is streamed in one transaction and as a result, network utilisation is increased; for smaller block sizes, less data is streamed in one transaction and this reduces the network utilisation.There is a balance needed between large and small block sizes where the amount of data in any block compares to the request of the client. Larger blocks can contain more useful data in one block, but this may be more than required, whereas smaller blocks are more likely to contain the useful data but more will be required and each has a network overhead. Over the years of testing with SoftGrid, the default 32KB has been found to be the best balance of the two.
TIP: Block size can directly influence compression using bZip2 and zLib and should be tested using different block sizes when compression is used.
Hi, good Info. But one thing is not clear for me. If you use Compression and a TS Client, when will the package decompressed ? During or after streaming ? May during runtime ?
Greetings from Germany
The decompression takes place inside the TS session. Normally TS sessions are classed as 'connected' and I wouldn't normally expect compression to be used for that scenario.
Hello, nice article. I tried to use bzip2 independently but ended up with a corrupt sft-file. Is it possible to compress sft files outside of the sequencer?

Still in the Lyme Light
Politicians and Hollywood enter the debate over "chronic Lyme disease."
It may appear suspicious to outsiders for IDSA members to cite their own expertise. But these are the articles that established their bona fides to sit on the panel. Unless we should exclude all experts from any expert panel because they are experts, it's a problem we are stuck with. Though I must agree with one aspect of the outsiders' view: Most experts, bless their hearts, are a mess. They are spilling over with professional rivalries and hostilities, limping from turf wars, and liable to tantrums and intellectual narrowness, and they sport egos growing like new blisters and every bit as fragile. But be kind—they have spent their careers working on a certain disease. They have run the trials, given the talks, staged the symposia, and written the standard-setting articles. It is impossible to get in a room people who both know everything about a subject and are free of conflict. (I find the conflict-of-interest charge ironic, given the large number of nonspecialists making big bucks in the treatment of chronic Lyme.)
Even if one discounts the self-aggrandizement of medical publishing, the experts do have one thing patients, moviemakers, and even AG Richard Blumenthal lack: experience in treating infectious diseases. Dealing with infections all day, every day, is informative. Stated another way: Why do the Car Talk guys know what that rattle is when your car turns left but not right? They know what is and what is not possible in their field of expertise, and they narrow things from there. The carburetor, for example, is not likely to rattle, because troubled carburetors wheeze and kick. Click and Clack know this.
So, too, for doctoring, despite Lyme's peculiar pedigree: It is related closely to syphilis, that most wily of all infections. We still cannot grow either bacterium (the one that causes syphilis can be cultivated after inoculating the testicle of a rabbit; for Lyme, no comparable animal-assistance program has been developed), and we still do not have accurate blood tests to diagnosis these two infections. This substantial shortcoming would appear to make the existence of something unexpected, like chronic Lyme, more plausible. Yet the similarities between Lyme and syphilis actually support the IDSA doctors here. Yes, there is much about syphilis we don't know—but like Click and Clack and their carburetor, we do understand what it doesn't do. Syphilis doesn't resist treatment. Plus, when you have it—really have it, especially in your brain—it is not at all difficult to find. Its pathologic footprints are everywhere. And once treated, it does not enter a prolonged stage that requires years more of antibiotics to beat back.
However, Connecticut and Hollywood both smell a rat. They see a gaggle of uncaring doctors in it for the dough and ego and intrinsic joys of sadism. And for them, this dismissal of chronic Lyme is nothing but another example of patients insisting a disease is making them sick while doctors scratch their heads and can't find a trace—shades of chronic fatigue and Morgellons and fibromyalgia. Myself, I don't believe in chronic Lyme, but the people afflicted with the syndrome likely have some disease or another, medical, psychiatric, or something in between—and the third-class-citizen status afforded them is an embarrassment to doctors everywhere. Perhaps the biggest loser in the debate is Sigmund Freud. One hundred years after his revolutionary work, the worst thing a doctor can do in 2008 is to suggest that a patient's problems are emotional, that physical pain arises from emotional turmoil. I've made the suggestion to a few patients along the way, and it is roughly akin to telling someone you think he is a pederast. People want physical problems—hard-core ailments like broken legs and lobar pneumonia. Try treating those with Zoloft.
Given the impasse between doctors and patients over a condition that affects thousands, may I make a modest proposal? Let's study the problem. Not another McCain Commission of blue-ribbon windbags to meet and congratulate one another—rather, let's do a clinical trial to determine the effectiveness of antibiotics: double-blind, placebo-controlled, the whole works. Doctors and patients together could design the study, as is done with AIDS and many cancer trials. And if antibiotics work, great—the doctors are wrong yet again. If they don't, then it is on to the next therapeutic approach till we find something that does the trick. Just one ground rule: Neither side can assume the other is a sleazeball (hear that, patients?) or a nut (you, doctors). After all, this is a real public-health problem before us, regardless of the cause—and it is surely in the interest of one and all to place the debate on sound footing.

Voters left the balance of power in U.S. government unchanged in Tuesday's election, and investors spent most of the rest of the week signaling their displeasure. The election, as well as uncertainty in China and Europe, sent the Dow tumbling below 13,000 for the first time since August.
Options activity on Election Day indicated that investors were wagering heavily on the results, and that Wednesday would be a big day one way or the other. When President Obama won, it became clear that numerous investors had put their chips on Romney, as stocks expected to benefit under a Romney administration fell hard. Coal companies and big banks led the biggest slump of the year in U.S. equities markets, with both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Standard & Poor's 500 index falling 2.4%. The next day, they fell again, marking the worst two-day slide in more than a year.
For the week, the Dow fell 278 points, or 2.1%, to 12,815.4. It was the Dow's third losing week in a row. The S&P 500 index fell 34.4 points, or 2.4%, to 1379.9.
QE3 had seemed to set a floor under the market, but that floor has given way.
The most immediate concern for U.S. investors is the "fiscal cliff," the series of tax hikes and spending cuts that will automatically go into effect if Congress and the president can't sign a deficit deal by Jan. 1. Divided government means that the same dynamics that resulted in a virtual standstill last year could return, with the stakes even higher.
Early indications aren't promising: the president on Friday dug in his heels on a tax hike for high earners, and House Speaker John Boehner dug in his heels on no new taxes. And yet Sean West of Eurasia Group sees some room for compromise: the president, for instance, appears open to a higher income threshold for the tax hikes. "Ultimately we maintain our view that a deal before year end is the most likely outcome."
But that leaves six weeks or so of quibbling, and the market could be an unfriendly place during that period. Buy-and-hold investors will have to stiffen their resolve.
"Volatility is going to be a constant for the next few months," said Steve Wood, chief North America market strategist for Russell Investments. "From a fiscal perspective, there's a lot more in flux than not."
One caveat to that statement: Obamacare is here to stay. Stocks moved on that reality. Traditional managed-care names mostly fell on the week, and hospitals were mostly higher.
The U.S. isn't the only place where government is in transition. Investors will also have to look to China, where a new generation of leaders is poised to take over just as the country begins to show signs that its economy has bottomed. More stimulus there is likely, says Wood. But how much and how soon is still an open question.
In Europe, the Greek Parliament voted on an austerity budget, but European leaders haven't yet agreed on when to release bailout funds that they've been withholding for months.
European leaders will meet on Monday, and they're expected to discuss the Greek issue, but not make an actual decision. In fact, they're telling reporters not to expect any immediate answers—they technically have until the end of the year.
Why do today what you can put off until New Year's Eve.
THE INVESTOR CONFERENCE for the Chicago charity Invest For Kids was propitiously or, perhaps, unpropitiously timed. It came on Wednesday, the day after Wall Street's Republican Party darlings largely took the pipe, causing the stock market to swoon.
The atmosphere at the conference was palpably gloomy. The normally ebullient real-estate magnate Sam Zell was decidedly downbeat. Nothing has changed in the U.S., he averred, except that the economic head winds of stagnant growth, dollar weakness, and budgetary improvidence figure to grind on for years. Europe is a basket case, with a disintegrating currency and near-term prospect of a demographic death spiral. Even emerging markets, something he hailed at last year's conference, stink now. Growth has slowed dramatically in the Big Three—China, India, and his longtime favorite, Brazil.
Yet stocks and real-estate prices in the U.S. remain at elevated levels, leaving the self-styled Grave Dancer scratching his head. His only advice was for investors to take stabs at "out-of-the-money Black Swan situations," whatever he meant by that.
Not to be outdone, Dallas hedge-fund manager Kyle Bass, of Hayman Capital, predicted an imminent financial collapse in Japan, despite that nation's decades of low interest rates, a strong currency, and positive trade and current-account deficits. According to Bass, today's complacency and calm are merely preludes to an apocalypse of extraordinary dimension for a country that has already "crossed the Rubicon." The government and society have accumulated staggering levels of debt that can never be paid back, especially with a shrinking population and deteriorating trade balances.

JIM GRANT, former Barron's staffer and proprietor of the Interest Rate Observer, fit right in with the bearish meme by bemoaning the "seat of the pants" monetary policies of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, which have artificially extended the three-decade regime of falling U.S. interest rates.
"Low rates are now wired into the muscle memory of markets," he said, which means, according to Grant, that the day of higher rates and inflation is fast approaching. His main recommendation was naturally gold, or as he put it with Grantian elegance, "Buy element 79 on the periodic table."
Nonetheless, all was not doom and gloom at the conference. Longtime investor activist Nelson ("I'm really a constructivist") Peltz announced that his Trian Fund had just taken a 1% position in the French company Danone (BN.France). The company, he claimed, is a perfect 21st-century play in the global packaged-food industry, with its portfolio of products for the health-conscious consumer, including yogurt, infant and medical nutrition, and bottled water. Adding to the company's luster is the fact that over half its sales are in emerging markets, and those sales are growing smartly.
Peltz figures that the company can boost its share price by judicious cost-cutting and refraining from dilutive mergers. These measures alone could generate above-average gross margins and deliver a nice boost in the company price-to-earnings ratio on its "premier product mix."

He contends that the stock, now trading at around $25, could as much as triple over the next three to four years, despite its lackluster performance since its initial public offering in 2010, because of several catalysts. Firstly, he likes the management team assembled by the former private-equity player Dan Akerson. The company, post-bankruptcy, can now make money at a U.S. sales level of just 11 million vehicles a year, though sales should push much higher, to 15 million or more, given the age of the U.S. fleet now on the road.
Likewise, he expects the Treasury Department to soon liquidate its 500-million-share position in GM now that the election is over and the Obama administration no longer fears negative headlines. This would eliminate much of the stock overhang stifling its performance, particularly if GM uses some of its cash trove to buy back half or more of those shares. Aditionally, the company is going through a major product-redesign effort that will boost 2013 car and—more important, because of their profitability—truck sales. Look for GM to earn as much as $10 a share three years out, Brosens says.

I've said it many times, and I'll say it again… This movie is going to rock!
AWESOME!!!!!!!!! Just awesome!!! I really can't wait!!!!!
And someone will say "I still don't like the suit" in 3… 2… 1…
Looks so damn awesome, it really does. Lots of action, Spidey moves great, and has seems to have a really strong story. Legit excited now.
The main problem I have with this is that it seems Peter´s dad is somehow responsible for Spider-Man? I think about Ang Lee's Hulk movie, and that would not be a positive retcon for me. With that said, I think a lot looks great here, Andrew Garfield seems like a likeable and good choice for Peter Parker, and the Spidey quips are finally there.
But…I still don't like the suit. 😉
I don't like how they are messing around with the known history. Spider-Man was created randomly…not planned. I had a hard time buying that in Batman Beyond, but even that was a little more believable. I also don't like how it implies Peter helps create the Lizard and how Aunt May knows Peter is Spider-Man. Plus no doubt about it, Gwen knows Peter is Spider-Man. Too much changing with the classic history. And don't go telling me it's the Ultimate Universe cause I don't want that.
Been looking forward to this since day one. I've always disliked almost everything about the Raimi films. So far – at least from the trailers – everything about this looks to be superior. Definitely looking forward to this one.
Even the suit and the implication that Spider-Man was "designed"? 😉
Looks to be a great movie. While not totally faithful to the comics, Peter's relationship with his Uncle is said to be unchanged. There were some things I did kind of do a double take on, but for the most part, it's looking 10 times better than the Raimi films.
Best trailer yet. I've been luke warm on this movie so far, but my interest is rising.
Great my posts are being spam filtered again! I even have a writers account and it randomly filters me! I can see it from the admin panel but I can't approve it 🙁
I'm still really looking forward to this. I'm not bothered by the differences with the comic, since this is shaping up to be able to stand on it's own, especially compared to the Raimi trilogy. I also like how it's going to lengths to look at things those films glossed over, particularly the web shooters and Peter's parents.
I'm actually much more impressed by the trailer than I was expecting to be. I actually laughed out loud at, "You've found my weakness! Small knives!"
I haven't cared too much about this movie so far but I'm a little more interested now. And for the record, I don't automatically object to them messing with the character's history in a new movie; for me it's okay to for an alternate take on the character in an alternate medium to make some of its own choices, if they get what's important about the character correct.
Probably still won't go see it in the theater but I'm definitely gonna have to rent it somewhere down the line. Impress me, Garfield & friends.
This is a really well constructed trailer showcasing some really stupendous action. Its nice to see them utilizing Spider-man's speed and agility now that we have the effect work to pull it off. I think a lot of the dynamism of the action can also be attributed to the less muscular body-type of Andrew Garfield. Toby Maguire's frame always felt a bit bulky to me, never really allowing him to pull off the full acrobatics that a leaner design might have allowed.
@ 8, I'm not so sure that I agree with you on the idea that Spider-man was designed in this movie. I think the more probable storyline is that the lab is doing experiments on animals (maybe using spiders for bulletproof armor) much like in Spectacular Spider-man and in Ultimate Spider-man and while the Lizard uses a… well… lizard to augment his powers Spider-man accidentally gets bit by a spider. I even bet that it occurs like Norman Osborn's transformation in Ultimate Spider-man where he knows that Peter is Spider-man and so then tries to replicate the experiment on himself to disastrous results.
The thing I find most interesting in this trailer is the shot of a man discussing Peter's parents with Connors in the shadows. Could this possibly be Norman?
Dan, I hope you are right there. But does that mean that we will get the Hulk-Goblin in a potential sequel?
This will be one of those movies I won't like in first sit through
@15 Lars
I'm not sure, I doubt it thought because the goblin's classic form is still better known by audiences and in pop culture as the man in a costume. I also think that visually it would be too similar to the lizard, who never really appeared much in the Ultimate Spider-man comic anyway. I, for one, wouldn't be opposed to seeing Hulk Goblin in a sequel as I'm quite a fan of that character, especially in his earliest incarnations (the scene with him tripping and seeing ghosts and an arachnid Spider-man is unforgettable).
looks pretty cool.
Well, if that is Norman Osborn in the trailer and Curt and Peter are linked, the Green Goblin will probably be a result of the same whatever that made Pete Spidey and Curt Lizard. I wonder what was in the script by Vanderbilt that Raimi rejected? Was it all this stuff about Petes dad?
For us fans in the UK, the story of Spidey's parents has a special place, because it was the basis of the 1978 hardback annual (released in 1977).This was the long, hot summer I discovered Spidey and I still get a tingle of excitement when I see John Romita Jnr's white background cover, with Spidey on the floor,looking through the Red Skull's green-suited legs from behind.The annual substantially re-prints Amazing Annual #5 (in later years, on getting the original, I saw there were a couple of extra pages—it was like finding a long lost brother!).I LOVE that story–it's corny, jingoistic, cliched,hackneyed and maybe throwaway, but somehow it reads and looks fantastic.So, for me, it's a bit jarring to see it tinkered with but, as it's Spidey, we'll roll with it.Still, it would have been cool to eventually see Spidey face down Hugo Weaving's Red Skull, screaming 'You murdered my parents!!!'.I've always wondered why that plot opportunity was never fully followed up by the comics.Spidey is part of our DNA, isn't he.
Are we sure Uncle Ben even dies in this movie? In the preview, all he ever thinks about is his parents, yet the spidey I know is driven by a sense of responsibility, and what happens when he doesn't live up to that responsibility. Not with parent issues. It's about the time they get the sense of humor right, but just like the rami movies, it seems everyone knows who he is. The Rami movies wern't great, but just cause this one is different doesn't mean it will be any better.
hmm reminds me of the ultimate-venom storyline…
@ 21 Uncle Ben does die in this movie. Marc Webb has said that he would never change something that drastically. Also, there's leaked footage of the filming of his death scene, so you can check it out if you want. From what I can tell, he gets bitten because of his parents, but becomes a hero because of his uncle.
I really like what they're doing with the parents thing. I certainly hope that they don't make him have these powers as something his father gave him as a baby, but chances are they wouldn't do something like that. I actually think that with the Parker Parents (Yeah, I just did that) it would allow a similar notion to Ultimate Captain America in the sense that everybody is trying to recreate his work, but nobody can perfect it, just with Peter as the center of it instead of Steve. I think that Peters father will simply be working on the serum to regrow Connor's arm, and will use this as a prototype for mass-web production by spiders(This is actually being looked into in the military. Apparently cross-weaved webs are about 8 times stronger than kevlar at about a quarter of the weight, so they would be used for body armor), anyways, I'm rambling. Looking forward to see it.
@23 That's good to hear, i'm not up on all the latest news, but from what i have seen it seems like any changes in the character or the story are fair game. The peter parker in the previews doesn't seem much like the peter parker i remember, then again the peter parker in the comics now doesn't seem like the peter parker i remember either, so what do i know?
I've been very skeptical of this movie as a fan of the Raimi films, but this trailer blew me away when I saw the Avengers and I will now be there opening night for this film. It just looks so much more epic and colorful then the Raimi films. I really like this original story they're doing with his parents, and there seems to be a good overarching story planned for multiple films. Still think this would've been much cooler if they had made it an "Untold Tale" set during the time jump in Spider-Man 1, but its ok.
The parent thing shares obvious similarities with the Venom arc in Ultimate Spider-Man (and the game), maybe the symbiote will make another appearance in a future sequel?
Okay, let's for arguments sake that the rumor about Peter's father and what this trailer appears to imply is true, that the way Peter gets his powers is not unlike how Bruce Banner became the Hulk in Ang Lee's movie (i.e. that Peter's dad altered Peter's DNA and the spider is merely the catalyst that activates Peter's dormant powers). Here's the reasons why I think it's a very bad idea:
1. In the original comics, it was made very clear that Peter, with the exception of his extraordinary intelligence, was a relatively ordinary guy, someone who you would think could never be somebody special in a million years. In fact, you could say that Peter is very much like the skinny dweeb in those old Charles Atlas ads–the guy who, in spite of how smart and charming he is, always loses the girl to dumb beefcake who takes pleasure in kicking sand in his face. His suddenly being bestowed great power is a simple twist of fate, and the original origin makes the point, to borrow from Batman Begins, that "it's not who you are that defines you, but what you do." What this new origin, if accurate, does it make Peter essentially the "chosen one," someone who is "destined for greatness" at the start. Not only is this something that is very overdone nowadays, but the downside is it implies that, it's not the content of your character that makes you special or great, it's your genes, your family, or background that determines your greatness, which is completely contrary to what Spider-Man is about.
2. In a related matter, it forces Peter's motivation become less about making amends for being culpable in his Uncle's death and trying to live up to the lessons his Uncle taught him and more about finding the truth about what happened to his father and living up his father's legacy. Sure, we know Uncle Ben's death will be a key factor in shaping who Peter becomes, but the trailers and even the filmmakers suggest that this will not be the driving force that makes Peter do what he does in the film. It's all about the "mystery" of what happened to his parents, instead, essentially turning Spider-Man into a carbon copy of Clark Kent from Smallville.
3. It adds one more coincidence on top of an apparently ever increasing number of coincidences that are being set-up in the movie. Consider what we know already: Peter just happens to find his dad's briefcase and discovers he works for Oscorp, where he just so happens to be bitten by a spider which gives him powers. Gwen Stacy, the girl Peter has a crush on, also just happens to work at Oscorp. So does Dr. Curt Connors, who not only turns out to be Richard Parker's friend and colleague, but someone who will also become the very first super-villain Peter will battle against. Then there's Gwen dad, who not only apparently will go after his daughter's boyfriend but who, I imagine, will also be killed by the Lizard in the climax of the movie. And, of course, you've got the head of Oscorp, who it's probably safe to assume had something to do with the disappearance of Peter's parents, but also becomes Peter's arch-enemy that eventually kills Peter's girlfriend, and who has a son will also become Peter's best friend.
4. Unless otherwise explained, it potentially creates a big plot hole. Basically, when experimenting on his son, Richard somehow knew that, one day, Peter was going to find his missing briefcase, which would conveniently have his ten year old Oscorp ID badge and extra glasses which would still allow Peter to get inside the main Oscorp building and pass for his own dad, and, upon exploring, just so happen to find the very room containing the spiders in which one of them just so happens to bite him which is the very thing required to activate his dormant powers. Which brings up…
5. It needlessly complicates what used to be a relatively simple, easy-to-explain, one sentence origin: "Peter Parker gains super-powers after being bitten by a radioactive spider." Compare that to "Peter Parker gains super-powers after being bitten by a gentically-altered spider created by his dad which activated long-dormant mutant DNA that was the result of genetic tampering by his dad."
6. Unless it gets properly clarified, it doesn't get around the fact that Peter's father was conducting human experiments on his own son without his son's knowledge or consent. Not only is this unethical, it's tantamount to child-abuse. So why should we, as an audience, care about what happened to a guy who, for all intends and purposes, abused his own son? Basically, it sabotages the mystery the film wants it's audience to be as emotionally invested in as Peter himself.
The trailer actually has me interested in this movie now. Not too crazy about the costumes redesign but spideys sense of humour is finally in the films it seems so it kinda balances out.
@27: excellent points! I couldnt agree with you more
they say when the trailers rock, the actual movie will most probably suck! this is the bitter truth that I realized when I first watched "Spider-Man 3"
I just hope it wont be true for this movie
I liked the trailer but I am not going to watch the movie. Why would I want this movie to succeed? If it does, it means Sony will hold on to the rights even longer. A 3 part origin story. Cmon people. By the time we see a decent Spiderman movie made by marvel and not sony, the actors from the avengers will be far too old. Sony is just holding on to the rights because they can make a quick buck even if the story makes no sense. Marvel needs to make this movie and they need to put spiderman with the avengers.
I am really impressed with your writing talents and also with the layout on your blog. Is that this a paid subject or did you modify it your self? Either way keep up the excellent high quality writing, it's rare to see a great weblog like this one these days..

- Broncos' Bailey done with change
- Next Broncos coach unlikely to have final say in roster
- Karl reaches out, invites McDaniels to spend time with staff
- Broncos interim coach Studesville says Bowlen and fans deserve best effort
- Studesville ready to lead Broncos
- Hot candidates for next GM, coach of the Denver Broncos
- Ellis evades rush of questions aimed at why McDaniels is gone
Feb. 16, 2009: McDaniels began purging Mike Shanahan's roster by releasing six players, including four starters from the 2008 defense.
Feb. 28, 2009: On the first day of free agency, news broke that McDaniels looked into trading for Matt Cassel, news that signaled the beginning of the end of the relationship between McDaniels and Jay Cutler.
March 2009: The Broncos sign more than a dozen free agents, a class highlighted by safety Brian Dawkins. The group of new players also included wide receiver Jabar Gaffney, safety Renaldo Hill, cornerback Andre Goodman and long snapper Lonie Paxton.
April 2, 2009: The Cutler era in Denver officially ends when the Broncos send the quarterback to Chicago in exchange for Kyle Orton and a slew of draft picks, including two first-rounders, one each in 2009 and 2010.
April 25, 2009: The Broncos surprise plenty of people when they draft running back Know-shon Moreno (No. 12) and outside linebacker Robert Ayers (No. 18) with their first-round draft picks, and select three more players in the second round (CB Alphonso Smith, S Darcel McBath and TE Richard Quinn).
March 2010: McDaniels' second free-agent class focused on the defensive line, as the team signed nose tackle Jamal Williams and ends Justin Bannan and Jarvis Green. Green did not make the team out of training camp. He was paid $3.255 million guaranteed.
March 15, 2010: The Broncos sent running back Peyton Hillis and a sixth-round draft pick to Cleveland to get quarterback Brady Quinn. Hillis has rushed for 962 yards for the Browns this season. Quinn has been active, as the backup, in only one game.
April 15, 2010: The Broncos trade star wide receiver Brandon Marshall to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for two second-round draft picks, ending Marshall's tumultuous tenure with the team and stormy relationship with McDaniels. Four days later, the team traded tight end Tony Scheffler to Detroit, receiving a fifth-round pick in return in a three-team deal.
April 22, 2010: The Broncos again had perhaps the league's most interesting draft, swapping multiple picks to move back in the first round to select wide receiver Demaryius Thomas at No. 22 overall, and then trading more picks to get back into the first round to draft Tim Tebow at No. 25.
July 2010: The team signed star pass rusher Elvis Dumervil to a five-year, $58.332 million contract extension. The team also worked out extensions in the offseason for two other restricted free agents Chris Kuper and Kyle Orton.
September 2010: McDaniels sent cornerback Alphonso Smith, a second-round pick (who was selected via a trade for a first-round pick) to Detroit and got tight end Dan Gronkowski in return. Later in the month, the Broncos sent a fourth-round pick to New England to get running back Laurence Maroney and a sixth-round pick. Maroney has been a nonfactor for the Broncos this season.

First, howdy to all. My first post here.
I currently ride a Tricross Singlecross for commuting purposes. I would like to use it more for running to the store etc. but due to location in the city would require several trips over hills. I need to check out my chain this weekend but I believe it has "stretched" (I know this isn't correct, but everyone knows what I mean).
Anywho, I've been wanting to try out Cyclocross as well as doing a Triathlon. Now, I'd probably start with a sprint level, as I am not a strong swimmer. I'm working on it though.
With that in mind I'm trying to work out the best way to pull this off. Best doesn't necessarily mean cheapest but I'm not made of money. I've also fallen in love with the Yeti Arc X. I'm considering buying it (need to find out where I could test it first) and converting my single speed to multi. Yeti could be for cyclo and my new multi Tricross for commuting still as well as the Tri. If the Tri stuff goes well, I could spring for a nice road bike later.
Keeping in mind I won't be in the Tri to win it obviously at first.... would the Tricross as a multi be sufficient? Or would it put me at significant disadvantage that I should consider other options?
Or is there some other option out there?

This article is about "how Hosts file playing a main role in Netbackup Environment"
Here is something about Hosts file from "Wikipedia"
What is Host File?
The hosts file is a computer file used to store information on where to find a node on a computer network. This file maps hostnames to IP addresses. The hosts file is used as a supplement to (or a replacement of) the Domain Name System (DNS) on networks of varying sizes. Unlike DNS, the hosts file is under the control of the local computer's administrator.
Where it is located?
The hosts file is located in different locations in different operating systems and even in different Windows versions:
• Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/7: %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\ is the default location, which may be changed. The actual directory is determined by the Registry key \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\DataBasePath.
• Windows 95/98/Me: %WinDir%\
• Linux, BSD based, and other Unix-like operating systems: /etc/hosts
How IP resolution works on Windows Environment?
Network can identify the hosts by using the IP Address only. Whenever you to try a reach a particular client with Host name, your operating system will check for the entry in Hosts file to get the relevant IP Address. If it finds the relevant IP in Hosts file then it will pass that IP Address to nearer switch; and switch will re direct the packets to the relevant host. So the Hosts file has high Priority than the DNS because it is controlled by Local system.
How "Hosts" file makes your computer to perform malicious operations?
Normally System Admin guys browse lots of sites for troubleshooting purpose, and from some sites computer viruses, Trojan horses can walk into computer and change "Hosts" file to redirect to an unwanted sites. Normally these issues can happen while doing Symantec Antivirus update. When I was studying in college, we got Symantec antivirus in our Lab Setup. Lab systems get updated from Symantec Antivirus Site. Some viruses changed the "Hosts" file that leads Lab systems to disconnect from Symantec Antivirus update server, because of this our Lab systems not maintained with proper updates.
How is this "Hosts File" playing in Netbackup?
Here is the Play:
Our environment got lot of Windows and UNIX clients and we use Host names to handle those clients. And Our Backup setup uses a separate network for backup usage. All Client servers having 2 NIC Cards; 1 for Public access and other for Backup usage. To take the advantage of Backup network, we have made "Hosts" file Entries pointing to Backup network IP on all clients. So whenever I try to reach a client from master server, master will automatically get into backup network.
On a day I got mail from Windows admin Guys to remove a particular server from regular backup schedule, I opened my master server and searched for that client under Host properties->Clients; by mistake enter key got down and Client properties window opened. My mind got hanged for a second, and then I tried to reach that client by ping command; and reply was "Reply from" and also I was able to telnet that client in bpcd port.
As basic level troubleshooting; I have verified the Original client IP with "Reply from" IP address, and there I found the issue. Issue was My Master is reaching a client other than the client that am trying to remove from backup.
After this, as a next footstep I have verified Hosts file; because Backup network IP entries in "Hosts" may make this to point to a different client. And my assumption got Solution grade :)
The client am trying to reach is pointed with different IP Address other than the Original IP and that was non backup test client; When I was troubleshooting this issue my team lead sitting behind me. With a red-faced smile he asked me to open the BAR window.
That was my Bad day, when I open the BAR Window I could find only the files of Test client for last 1 year.
Then what else; decided to surf into this sites Naukri, timesjobs. But because of my knowledge and team work I got one more chance to stay back in my company.
I should Thank God for this.
So, Guys if you are using Host names to handle clients in your Backup environment please do remember this below things:
Don't touch the "Hosts" file in any cause.
Suppose if you need to edit that file, please be careful in doing that.
As my environment if you have edited "Hosts" file with backup network IP's; do verify them in frequent. Because changes happening by mistake can spoil your backup.
If you have backup network to be used, then change the client properties in way that, it uses a specified network interface; don't go for "Hosts" file change. (Host Properties->Clients->Client name->Universal settings->use specified network interface);
I hope you guys won't surf those sites for these kinds of issues.

Four years ago during the last Republican gubernatorial primary, dairy magnate Jim Oberweis was sharply and widely criticized for running fake newspaper headlines in his TV ads. Now, it's happening again with a different wealthy gubernatorial hopeful.
Republican Andy McKenna's latest TV ad stays with his original theme of former Governor Rod Blagojevich's hair. The spot begins the same as his first ad, with a visual of a Blagojevich-like wig on top of the Statehouse and a Blagojevich look-alike walking into the shot. McKenna's first TV ad placed the wig on several previous governors, including George Ryan and Dan Walker, as well as on a baby. The hair is supposed to be a metaphor for the state's history of corruption.
The McKenna ad's announcer then claims the state faces an $11-billion deficit while "Governor Quinn hides the truth." The accompanying visual is the phrase: "Quinn hides the truth," and a reference to a November 18 Chicago Tribune article.
Trouble is, the Tribune published no such article with that headline. The article itself is about a contentious public debate between Quinn and his Democratic primary rival Dan Hynes, but nowhere in the article does Hynes accuse Quinn of "hiding" anything.

Republicans, as a class, tend to pine for the good ol' days -- mainly, the eras when they were in power.
That's been especially true in Illinois as the Republicans, uniformly blown out of power by George Ryan's scandals and George W. Bush's leadership style, have tried repeatedly to use the good ol' days to convince voters that they should be returned to stewardship status. For instance, every chance they get they trot out former Governor Jim Edgar -- one of the few living historical Illinois figures who still represents moderation and good governance in many voters' minds.
But Jim Edgar wasn't even at last week's Republican Day event at the Illinois State Fair. I ran into him earlier in the week, after Wednesday's rain storm. He was walking alone through the fairgrounds, heading for his car. He had a horse in a race, but the race was canceled because of the storm so he was leaving.

I know someone who is pg with identical twins and was told by her OB that they ALWAYS induce/c-section identical twins at 37 weeks b/c they share a placenta and it can't last as long when supporting twins. Is this true? I know one risk of going overdue (with any pregnancy) is that the placenta can slowly stop doing it's job, but I thought they do tests to determine if that's ACTUALLY happening before inducing. I guess it makes sense that one placenta might not be able to go as long when supporting two babies but couldn't they do the same tests to determine how the placenta's functioning with identical twins starting from 37 weeks on out just like when you're overdue with one baby rather than just assume the placenta's 'done'?
identical twins MUST be born at 37 weeks???

I've seen plenty of homebirth videos on twins that are well close to 40 weeks or even after!
Ally: military wife and mama hen to our three chicks: C (4/08), A (12/09), & M (8/12) ♥
But it's the IDENTICAL part (and therefore ONE placenta) that seems to be her OB's reason. It could be argued that those births on youtube were of fraternal twins.

It's been done for identical twins at 40 plus weeks.
Nathan, ^Gabriel^, Raina & Inchworm (due Sept '13)
Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair.
I am pregnant with identical twins and I'm having a home birth whenever they come (after 37 weeks). I am seeing a midwife and getting parallel care from a perinatologist and neither of them are worried about the placenta aging or shutting down if I go past 37 weeks. That is a scare tactic.
Even if they share a placenta, they can go to 40+ weeks. There is no reason they cannot. If the dr is worried he should be doing the tests to check on the placenta, and not telling her she HAS to have them at 37 weeks. That's just BS.
Her OB needs to go back to school. There is nothing that prevents identical twins to not be able to go 40 weeks. My moms friend had identical twins born at 41 weeks and they and the placenta were perfectly healthy!
My entire life is walking outside my arms and I wouldn't have it any other way!
A+D=Emmalyn Amie June 9
I'm not from the board but my SIL was 36w6d when her twins were born and there was no talk of inducing (water broke naturally). Her high-risk OB was awesome though and she delivered both of them naturally.
My now 9-year-old twin brothers (yes, identical) weren't born until 39 weeks, and only because my mom's BP spiked after weeks of it being quite low, so they induced (although she ended up with a C/S). Thing 1 was 7 lbs 4 oz and Thing 2 was 6 lbs 10 oz, both very healthy boys who needed zero time in the NICU.
If your friend is concerned, she should definitely get a second opinion, but I wouldn't swear by what internet strangers have to say :) It's different for every woman. The placenta can "wear out" and stop providing adequate nutrition, but it is not a guarantee. This may be true in your friend's case, it may not be. It's not a hard-and-fast rule to hold to regardless of the situation. And you're right, with regular monitoring and measuring, the sonographer should be able to determine whether the babies are still getting nourishment from the placenta based on their measurements. It seems a bit extreme to just assume that the placenta is done at 37 weeks and section no matter what.

A willingness to tweak traditions helped Richmond's Jade Seafood win top honors in this year's Chinese Restaurant Awards.
The Alexandra Road restaurant earned the "best dim sum" and "best overall restaurant" titles in the diners' choice division of the competition.
While voters weren't required to submit any justification with their selections, Jade Seafood's menu features a number of notable deviations from standard Cantonese preparations, as I discovered when I recently dropped by for a midday meal.
Jade Seafood's kitchen has a mushroom fluency that's audible in an umami-rich serving of braised oyster, shitake and enoki mushrooms with bean curd. The delicate dish has a clean and complex forest flavor. But Jade Seafood doesn't stop there with the mushrooms: It folds them in dumplings buzzed with truffle oil, and - in perhaps its most enterprising dish - bakes them in puff pastry shells blotted with cream sauce.
I wasn't crazy about the cheese-covered results: Of all the western styles from which to borrow inspiration, I can't imagine how Jade Seafood settled on 1990s wedding hall cuisine. Nor was I sold on a blueberry ball, which reminded me of Black Forest cake frosting and cherries jammed in a gummy mochi skin. But it's the inclination of Richmond's restaurants to modernize and compete that makes the city such an exciting Chinese food destination: I wouldn't be surprised if I loved Jade Seafood's next experiment.
In the meantime, I'm pretty thrilled with Jade Seafood's crisped prawn rolls with preserved eggs and ginger, and the restaurant's celebrated smoked Grandfather's chicken. Like many Richmond restaurants, Jade Seafood uses a Chinese chicken breed, so the meat is darker and gamier than what's found on an American bird.
But the excellence of Grandfather's chicken isn't just a matter of agriculture: The chicken, glossed with rice wine vinegar and soy, is terrifically tender. Someone ought to give this restaurant an award or two.

Around in the island in "the White Russian"
Apart from the experience that you're missing when travelling by bus, a car really is the best way to see the island of Saint Kitts. It makes it possible to make the whole northern loop in a few hours, and the southern loop in only an hour, and adding stops wherever you like.
When renting a car you have to keep in mind that you'll need to buy a local driving license. This is their way of charging road taxes. It will add another 10 US Dollars to the price of renting a car. It is a great way to travel around though: it saves you from a long climb up to Brimstone Hill Fortress, and it offers you great views of the coastlines and the islands around Saint Kitts. When going to the Southern Peninsula it's an easy way to look for desolate beaches and spotting monkeys.
Make sure to fill up the tank in Basseterre because there are no/hardly any gas stations in other parts of the island!
Mode: AROUND
Type: Car/Motor Home
An unwritten agreement on Saint Kitts is that the minibusses on the island only cover the northern part of the island. All other routes (to the airport, to Frigate Bay and to the south) are only covered by taxis. Fortunately these taxis are not too expensive.
I took the taxi to get from the airport to the centre of Basseterre. It's only a trip of 15 minutes and I payed about 5 US Dollars for it. To get to Frigate Bay it's an interesting option as well. When you want to get to the south of the island and back, it might be better to consider renting a scooter or a car for a day.
The taxis can be found everywhere in Basseterre. When you are going to a beach or another remote place in the south it might be wise to ask a phonenumber of a taxidriver so you can call when you want to go back.
Mode: AROUND
Type: Other
Minibusses in central Basseterre
The cheapest and the nicest way to travel around the island of Saint Kitts is by the minibusses that you'll find everywhere! These busses have the greatest names: 'Jah Blessing', 'Reggae Doctor' or 'Zion Train', the music is turned on load, and it's always a nice way to make a chat with the other people in the bus.
The busses only cover the northern part of the island: the way south towards Frigate Bay and the Southern Peninsula is covered by taxis. The northern loop is covered clockwise and counterclockwise, so you basically can never take the wrong bus: it's just a matter of patience. Of course it's better to ask the driver which bus to take.
The prices are never a point of discussion: the maximum price is about 5 Eastern Caribbean Dollar: about 2,50 US Dollars. The busses depart every 5 or 10 minutes from the bus station at the Ferry Terminal in Basseterre, but when you stop a bus passing by making a hand signal you basically can jump in wherever you want.
Mode: AROUND
Type: Bus
One of LIAT's drama-planes
LIAT: congratulations! LIAT Airlines to me is officially the WORST airline I ever flew with! I used it to fly from Saint-Martin to Saint-Kitts and back and it was a true disaster!
The flight from Saint-Martin to Saint-Kitts normally takes 25 minutes, but my flight to Basseterre had a delay of 14 hours and on my way back there were another 5 hours of delay! As I understood the whole schedule of LIAT often is a complete chaos full of delays, and even though they clearly have experience with it, they suck at communicating about it. When you have a question about what's going to happen they react rude and impatient and they only do the absolute necessary. On top of this they lost my luggage too on my way to Saint-Kitts.
If there is a way to prevent flying with LIAT: do it! They might be cheap, but it's better to spend 20 extra dollar and flying on time then to spend a full day at the airport with a lot of problems.

My son has been doing great with all baby food. He's had 3 cereals, 2 fruits, and 3 veggies. He has MSPI and reflux. He tried peaches last week and seemed to spit up a lot and seemed to be uncomfortable. Tonight we tried them again and he spit them up - but not right away - they came up almost 4hrs later. Not all of them, just some. Again he seemed to be uncomfortable. I don't think he's allergic to them, but would this be enough to say I shouldn't give them to him anymore?
Interesting - his older sister had much less severe reflux and allergy and the only baby food that didn't agree with her is peaches. His twin sister loves all food and refuses to eat peaches.

"United States Navy Memorial" United States Navy Memorial by matcrazy1
United States Navy Memorial Travel Guide: 2 reviews and 50 photos
United States Navy Memorial is located in downtown Washington, DC. So, I am a little bit surprised to find it as a seperate location in VT-base. Anyway, it gives me more place to share my adventures from the US capital :-).
I had a great pleasure to see the memorial and this statue of the Lone Sailor together with my wife and the two VT-friends:
- Kathy from Dallas, Texas (Kodi01)
- Chris from Atlanta, Georgia (balfor)
The memorial reminded me my own military experiences. I have a lot of warm feelings and sympathy for people in military uniforms unless they are forced to serve in an army which is out of control of the nation, like it worked in my case.
Well, my two months in Soviet-style "Polish" army in late 1980' was a waste of time. I've learned that nothing worked well in that strange army especially minds of higher rank officers :-). I am sure it has changed since Poland regained independance and became NATO member in 1999.
The Warsaw Pact army taught us mainly how to march, mostly unsuccesfully as we didn't like to march again and again. The soldier's low morale was caused by the simple fact that no-one treated this Warsaw Pact army as the one of own country. Maybe that's why our officers had orders to teach us marching instead of shooting.
About 120 soldiers in my army unit including me were forced to take an oath of allegiance to "socialist Poland" and swear to defend it against "imperialistic rulers" or something those lines. But during the very solemn ceremony, in front of many guests including one general, when the officer had read the words of the oath about "standing strongly to defend peace in brotherly ally with the Soviet Army" no-one repeated his words. This silence followed by happy laugh of our families is my foundest memory.
The next day the political officers of our unit ordered each of us to sign the words of oath. At first we refused although they asked us very much. Finally one of them proposed and asked us to sign it one for another. And we did so. Soon later the text of oath was totally changed.

Surprising that this is in the VT database. I was expecting to read about the US Naval Academy at first. Interesting how you related your own time in the military
HI matt...thanks for sharing these tips and pics..certainly is a city that you can spend a lot of time..Denny
Think I missed this sailor fellow. Maybe next time.
Thanks for sharing info. & pictures about this Navy Memorial. My husband & I got married when he was a sailor -- no wonder we both love being at sea!
Yes, it is strange that this memorial has a separate location in VT.
I wonder if that huge lonely sailor could jump on the Segway! Ot better if the Segway would be strong enough to handle him!
Ha ha ha, don't know if I lliked your story or the segway better. Think I would like to try that means of transport. Never saw one before. Just so you know...my husband looked like that sailor in his uniform...many years ago.
How nice of you to give the Lone Sailor a little company.
Matt, this looks like an interesting place! I also really liked your military service information and had to laugh at the ingenuity of the officers to overcome your reluctance to sign the oath!! Never thought of that method before.
Matt, this was my favorite memorial in DC, probably because my father was in the Navy in WWII in the Pacific, and I spent so much time here. He's in the archives. Thanks for letting people know about this great place.

Tempe's city manager is calling it quits after a career that included running the library, giving advice about space aliens and getting yelled at over a dead golfer.
Will Manley, 57, announced his retirement Monday after 6 1/2 years of running the city of 160,000. Manley said the job simply wore him out.
"There's no story behind the story," Manley said. "It's nothing more than a guy who feels like he's earned his retirement and wants to spend time with his growing family."
The former librarian became Tempe's library director 25 years ago and gradually rose through the ranks.
Manley became city manager in 2001 after complaints about discrimination at City Hall forced former city manager Gary Brown to step down. An interim city manager reorganized the city, though Manley ordered some reforms of his own.
Manley ran the city during a building boom downtown and along Tempe Town Lake. Other major projects include construction of the Metro light-rail line, the Tempe Center for the Arts and Tempe Marketplace.
Manley said he could rarely escape from the job. He'd get calls on vacations, weekends and at night. And some tasks were just odd.
Manley recalled getting a call from a woman who said aliens had landed in her backyard. Manley advised the woman to turn her television antenna to make them go away. The woman called back the next day and said Manley's tactic did the trick.
Before becoming manager, Manley once got a call at home on a weekend from a golfer who was furious that somebody had died on the links and held up his game by 45 minutes. The caller berated Manley for not having a contingency plan that would have let him play through.
Manley's last day is Aug. 31. He'll sell his Tempe home this fall and move to Livermore, Calif. His two sons live there, and Manley wants to be there with his wife when a granddaughter is born in October.
He doesn't want a "real job," but is still passionate about books and hopes to travel and give speeches to librarians.
City managers typically hold their posts for about four years. Manley said he'd been mulling over retirement for a year but decided last week it was time to do it.
"It was a matter of running out of gas," he said.
