The JavaScript image cropper UI allows the user to crop an image using an interface with the same features and styling as found in commercial image editing software, and is is based on the Prototype JavaScript framework and script.aculo.us.
Initially I performed quite a lot of searching for some ready made solutions to meet my requirements, but found none that had the complete feature set that I required or any complete versions based on Prototype.
So after a week and a half of work, I present the JavaScript image cropper UI, built on Prototype & script.aculo.us.
- Un-obtrusive
- Based on Prototype and script.aculo.us
- Image editing package styling & functionality, the crop area functions and looks like those found in popular image editing software
- Dynamic inclusion of required styles
- Drag to draw areas
- Shift drag to draw/resize areas as squares
- Selection area can be moved
- Selection area can be resized using resize handles
- Allows dimension ratio limited crop areas
- Allows minimum dimension crop areas
- Allows maximum dimensions crop areas, if both min & max set as the same value then we'll get a fixed cropper size on the axes as appropriate and the resize handles will not be displayed as appropriate
- Allows dynamic preview of resultant crop (if minimum width & height are provided), this is implemented as a subclass so can be removed if not required
- Movement of selection area by arrow keys (shift + arrow key will move selection area by 10 pixels)
- All operations stay within bounds of image
- All functionality & display compatible with most popular browsers supported by Prototype, tested in:
- PC: IE 6 & 5.5, Firefox 1.5, Opera 8.5 (see known issues) & 9.0b
- MAC: Camino 1.0, Firefox 1.5, Safari 2.0
Extract to a directory of your choosing e.g. 'scripts/cropper/' and include the script and the required Prototype & script.aculo.us scripts:

- ratioDim obj
- The pixel dimensions to apply as a restrictive ratio, with properties x & y.
- minWidth int
- The minimum width for the select area in pixels.
- minHeight int
- The mimimum height for the select area in pixels.
- maxWidth int
- The maximum width for the select areas in pixels (if both minWidth & maxWidth set to same the width of the cropper will be fixed)
- maxHeight int
- The maximum height for the select areas in pixels (if both minHeight & maxHeight set to same the height of the cropper will be fixed)
- displayOnInit int
- Whether to display the select area on initialisation, only used when providing minimum width & height or ratio.
- onEndCrop func
- The callback function to provide the crop details to on end of a crop.
- captureKeys boolean
- Whether to capture the keys for moving the select area, as these can cause some problems at the moment.
- onloadCoords obj
- A coordinates object with properties x1, y1, x2 & y2; for the coordinates of the select area to display onload
The callback function
The callback function is a function that allows you to capture the crop co-ordinates when the user finished a crop movement, it is passed two arguments:
- coords, obj, coordinates object with properties x1, y1, x2 & y2; for the coordinates of the select area.
- dimensions, obj, dimensions object with properities width & height; for the dimensions of the select area.
An example function which outputs the crop values to form fields:
function onEndCrop( coords, dimensions ) {
$( 'x1' ).value = coords.x1;
$( 'y1' ).value = coords.y1;
$( 'x2' ).value = coords.x2;
$( 'y2' ).value = coords.y2;
$( 'width' ).value = dimensions.width;
$( 'height' ).value = dimensions.height;
Basic interface
This basic example will attach the cropper UI to the test image and return crop results to the provided callback function.
Minimum dimensions
You can apply minimum dimensions to a single axis or both, this example applies minimum dimensions to both axis.
Select area ratio
You can apply a ratio to the selection area, this example applies a 4:3 ratio to the select area.
Event.observe( window, 'load', function() {
new Cropper.Img(
ratioDim: {
x: 220,
y: 165
displayOnInit: true,
onEndCrop: onEndCrop
} );
With crop preview
You can display a dynamically produced preview of the resulting crop by using the ImgWithPreview subclass, a preview can only be displayed when we have a fixed size (set via minWidth & minHeight options). Note that the displayOnInit option is not required as this is the default behaviour when displaying a crop preview.

Event.observe( window, 'load', function() {
new Cropper.ImgWithPreview(
previewWrap: 'previewWrap',
minWidth: 120,
minHeight: 120,
ratioDim: { x: 200, y: 120 },
onEndCrop: onEndCrop
} );
Known Issues
- Safari animated gifs, only one of each will animate, this seems to be a known Safari issue.
- After drawing an area and then clicking to start a new drag in IE 5.5 the rendered height appears as the last height until the user drags, this appears to be the related to another IE error (which has been fixed) where IE does not always redraw the select area properly.
- Lack of CSS opacity support in Opera before version 9 mean we disable those style rules, if Opera 8 support is important you & you want the overlay to work then you can use the Opera rules in the CSS to apply a black PNG with 50% alpha transparency to replicate the effect.
- Styling & borders on image, any CSS styling applied directly to the image itself (floats, borders, padding, margin, etc.) will cause problems with the cropper. The use of a wrapper element to apply these styles to is recommended.
- overflow: auto or overflow: scroll on parent will cause cropper to burst out of parent in IE and Opera when applied (maybe Mac browsers too) I'm not sure why yet.

I've had reports before that the cropper doesn't work within a table cell, but I've also had reports that adding the table-layout:fixed style to the table helps.

Maybe you can help:
759. dvojka - 25th May 2012 - 8:16 am
if you know to save images from cropper you need to use PHP
function onEndCrop( coords, dimensions ) {
$( 'x1' ).value = coords.x1;
$( 'y1' ).value = coords.y1;
$( 'x2' ).value = coords.x2;
$( 'y2' ).value = coords.y2;
$( 'width' ).value = dimensions.width;
$( 'height' ).value = dimensions.height;
// example with a preview of crop results, must have minimumm dimensions
function() {
new Cropper.ImgWithPreview(
minWidth: 210,
minHeight: 296,
ratioDim: { x: 210, y: 296 },
displayOnInit: true,
onEndCrop: onEndCrop,
previewWrap: 'previewArea'
< ?php
//You do not need to alter these functions
function resizeThumbnailImage($thumb_image_name, $image, $width, $height, $start_width, $start_height, $scale){
$newImageWidth = ceil($width * $scale);
$newImageHeight = ceil($height * $scale);
$newImage = imagecreatetruecolor($newImageWidth,$newImageHeight);
$source = imagecreatefromjpeg($image);
chmod($thumb_image_name, 0777);
return $thumb_image_name;
$large_photo_exists = "";
$thumb_width = "210";
$upload_path = "./";// The path to where the image will be saved
$large_image_name = "castle.jpg"; // New name of the large image
$thumb_image_name = "thumbnail_pic.jpg"; // New name of the thumbnail image
$large_image_location = $upload_path.$large_image_name;
$thumb_image_location = $upload_path.$thumb_image_name;
if (isset($_POST["upload_thumbnail"]) && strlen($large_photo_exists)>0) {
//Get the new coordinates to crop the image.
$x1 = $_POST["x1"];
$y1 = $_POST["y1"];
$x2 = $_POST["x2"];
$y2 = $_POST["y2"];
$w = $_POST["width"];
$h = $_POST["height"];
//Scale the image to the thumb_width set above
$scale = $w/$w;
$cropped = resizeThumbnailImage($thumb_image_location, $large_image_location,$w,$h,$x1,$y1,$scale);
//Reload the page again to view the thumbnail

I'm having a problem successfully saving crop points from last selection.

Here is just the script in my JSP.
Event.observe(window, 'load', function() {
new Cropper.ImgWithPreview('cropImage', {
previewWrap : 'previewWrap',
minWidth : 80,
minHeight : 80,

function onEndCrop(coords, dimensions) {
$("x1").value = coords.x1;
document.getElementById("x2").value = coords.x2;
document.getElementById("y1").value = coords.y1;
document.getElementById("y2").value = coords.y2;
$('width').value = dimensions.width;
$('height').value = dimensions.height;
I'm quite confused since it sometimes work, and sometimes just completely fails.
Is there something I could be missing? Or another function from cropper.js I could utilize?

Am I taking the right approach?
Any help appreciated.

MEDICAL RETREADS: A special report.; Doctors Punished by State But Prized at the Hospitals
Published: March 27, 2001
(Page 2 of 3)
Hospital executives acknowledge that in reinstating Dr. Dhabuwala, they ignored their own policy, dating from the 1980's, which states that doctors whose licenses are suspended or who are put on probation by the state are to be automatically discharged from the hospital.
And Dr. Dhabuwala was no exception; the executives said that over the last several years, Methodist has not removed any punished doctors.
The hospital's board ''did not realize their own bylaws say that they should be suspended,'' said Lyn Hill, a Methodist spokeswoman, who discovered the policy only after several months of inquiries from a reporter. ''They assumed that our bylaws were the same as everyone else's,'' she said, referring to other hospitals.
While there is no state or local data on whether city hospitals have policies regarding sanctioned doctors, Susan C. Waltman, general counsel for the Greater New York Hospital Association, said most hospitals had none.
According to data from the State Health Department, Methodist has more doctors who have been disciplined or investigated for negligence than any other major hospital in the city.
In the obstetrics and gynecology department, Dr. Dhabuwala and a colleague were disciplined for botching cases, and another doctor was hired briefly even though he was in the middle of a high-profile investigation into a patient's death. Two surgeons are now under investigation by the Health Department; one is the president of the hospital's medical board.
Among the state's 253 hospitals, only two others, Oswego Hospital and St. Luke's Hospital of Newburgh, both upstate, employed three doctors at the end of 1999 who had been disciplined, according to state records.
In the case of Dr. Dhabuwala, state documents show that he performed hysterectomies on two patients without conducting a physical examination.
In a third case, a 38-year-old woman went to the doctor complaining of pain in her side and lumps in her abdomen. Without consulting the radiologist who took a chest X-ray of the patient, the state files said, Dr. Dhabuwala performed a hysterectomy. The X-rays revealed a problem with the patient's lungs.
Dr. Dhabuwala said in an interview that the charges against him were false, although a review board sustained the original findings of the state's Office of Professional Medical Conduct.
''What was done to me was a total injustice,'' Dr. Dhabuwala said. ''There was not a single complication in any of those cases.''
Dr. Dhabuwala also denied that he had ever given inappropriate care to his patients, including in the cases of the hysterectomies.
A colleague in the obstetrics and gynecology department at New York Methodist, Dr. John Luke, has faced similar troubles since gaining admitting privileges in 1983. According to state records, Dr. Luke performed a hysterectomy and terminated a patient's pregnancy -- a pregnancy she was unaware of -- without conducting proper tests to determine why she was bleeding.
In another case, Dr. Luke left a piece of surgical equipment in a patient, causing an infection he failed to treat promptly. The state's file on Dr. Luke lists other problems with pregnant and gynecological patients.
In 1993, Dr. Luke's license was suspended for three months and he was put on probation and required to attend medical education classes. The state also cited him for a 1987 conviction for insurance fraud.
Dr. Luke said in an interview that although he disagreed with the charges against him, he was forced to sign a consent order that resulted in his suspension and probation because he could not afford to defend himself, and that a lawyer had given him poor advice.
But while the state was harsh, the hospital was not, Dr. Luke said. ''They were very supportive because I had a very good reputation. They told me when my suspension was finished I could come back.''
Ms. Waltman of the hospital association said most hospital administrators believed that if the state did not pull a doctor's medical license, it was giving a ''vote of confidence'' that the doctor was fit to continue practicing.
Not all hospitals agree. At Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, for instance, the president, Dr. Spencer Foreman, automatically suspends the privileges of doctors who are suspended or put on probation by the state.
While each doctor is given a hearing, not a single one in 15 years has convinced the hospital that he or she should be retained, Dr. Foreman said.
The Reticence
Out at One Hospital, In at Another
Dr. Niels H. Lauersen had delivered thousands of babies in nearly 25 years of practice in New York, and was working at his fourth city hospital in August when Dr. Novello, the health commissioner, suspended his medical license. The state was considering negligence charges against him -- the second set of allegations against him in three years.
Dr. Lauersen started his career in obstetrics and gynecology at New York Hospital in 1979, then went to Mount Sinai and Lenox Hill Hospitals. (No one at New York Hospital, now part of the New York Presbyterian system, would comment on his departure.) He was forced to resign from Mount Sinai in 1984; the hospital would not provide further details. Executives and former employees there contend that there were problems with the way he managed his patients' pregnancies.

Prevention and Early Intervention for Diabetes Foot Problems
In this article
3. Causative Factors
Risk Factors for Lower Extremity Amputation (LEA)
Peripheral neuropathy, peripheral vascular disease, and prior foot ulcer are independently associated with risk of LEA 10. A 1996 study of Pima Indians with diabetes confirmed this finding and included the presence of foot deformity as another independent risk factor11. The presence of plantar callus also is highly predictive of subsequent ulceration in patients with diabetic neuropathy and is more predictive of ulceration than increased plantar foot pressures12. Hyperglycemia is an additional risk factor. In a 1996 study, Finnish researchers determined risk factors for amputation in 1,044 middle-aged patients with type 2 diabetes who were followed for up to 7 years. Because the incidence of amputation was similar in both sexes (5.6 percent men and 5.3 percent women), all statistical analyses were carried out combining men and women. This study found that high fasting plasma glucose levels at baseline, high HbA1c, and the duration of diabetes were independently associated with a twofold risk of amputation. Signs of peripheral neuropathy, bilateral absence of vibration sense, and bilateral absence of Achilles tendon reflexes were two times more frequent in patients with amputation than in patients without amputation13.
These findings are supported by the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT), a ten-year clinical study that concluded in 1993. The DCCT demonstrated that keeping blood glucose levels as close to normal as possible slows significantly the onset and progression of eye, kidney, and nerve diseases caused by diabetes. The study showed that any sustained lowering of blood glucose helps, even if the person has a history of poor control14.
Causal Pathways for Lower Extremity Amputations (LEA)
A study conducted at the Seattle Veterans Affairs Medical Center examined the causal pathways for LEA in patients with diabetes and identified the most common sequences of events. Seventy-three percent of the amputations in study subjects were a result of the causal sequence of minor trauma, cutaneous ulceration, and wound-healing failure. Estimates of the cumulative proportions of various causes indicated that 86 percent of amputations were attributed to initial minor trauma causing tissue injury15.

A strong storm blew threw Pratt Friday night with winds reaching over 50 mph. When the front came across the Pratt area, it blew down several trees on the south side of the Pratt County Veterans Memorial Lake and blocked the road.
The wind broke off lots of smaller branches and scattered them across the lake.
Wind also brought down a tree that broke through a fence at a residence at Sixth Street and Ninnescah.
Several small branches were down in Lemon Park nothing like the damage at the lake.
The storm kicked up a lot of dust at the Pratt County Fairgrounds but didn't appear to cause any damage to buildings.
In Pratt, lots of trash dumpsters were overturned and lots of small branches came down but other than the one tree on Sixth Street, no other damage was reported.
The storm produced a hail shaft that damaged some crops in the southern part of the county.

Some scars never heal... An addictive and haunting thriller from award-winning author Gillian Flynn.
When two girls are abducted and killed in Missouri, journalist Camille Preaker is sent back to her home town to report on the crimes.
Long-haunted by a childhood tragedy and estranged from her mother for years, Camille suddenly finds herself installed once again in her family's mansion, reacquainting herself with her distant mother and the half-sister she barely knows - a precocious 13-year-old who holds a disquieting grip on the town.
As Camille works to uncover the truth about these violent crimes, she finds herself identifying with the young victims - a bit too strongly. Clues keep leading to dead ends, forcing Camille to unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past to get at the story. Dogged by her own demons, Camille will have to confront what happened to her years before if she wants to survive this homecoming.

Students at David A. Boody Junior High School rang in the Chinese New Year with a showbill worthy of an extravaganza.
Teachers, students and visitors celebrated the Year of the Rabbit by enjoying a thrilling performance by the Gravesend school's costumed Chinese Dance Troupe, which stepped up the festive tempo with an eye-popping fan dance, followed by a cheerleader boost.
The talented bunch shared the spotlight with professional Chinese entertainers, including the Zhao Xia Dancing Group, which presented a folk dance entitled, "The Spanish Girl," and Master Yung, a dance group which wowed with the heart-pounding Lion's dance. The rollicking jig has been a part of Chinese culture for thousands of years, and is performed on auspicious occasions to signify luck and prosperity.
The lion dancers weren't the only ones who were the cat's meow. Acrobat Qiong-Qoing Wang moved the audience to a hush when she balanced 11 liquid-filled glasses on her mouth, topped by a floral arrangement! A post-show party with Chinese food topped the revel.
"It was a very fun evening, we had a full house," said English teacher Doug Monroe.
It was also the first Chinese New Year celebration for many in the rainbow audience, he said.
"We have a very diverse school, and a lot of people were exposed to a Chinese New Year celebration for the first time."

I made a collage I'd like to put at the top of my page without changing other parts of my page. Is it possible?
I made a collage I'd like to put at the top of my page without changing other parts of my page. Is it possible?
Is it one image file or several? What theme do you use?
A link would be better.
One image-- I don't think a link would frame the page when it opens. The theme? Not sure what that means. It's growinggames.com and my son selected the template (?). It contains my journalling, rxperience with my Downs daughter, some activism, poetry, etc. Site name is "Nan at 70." The collage contains among other things my daughter which I'd prefer to communicate than the word "Downs."
OK - no problem. You're using the "default" theme. You will need to look in /wp-content/themes/default/images.
In that folder you will see "kubrickheader.jpg". Rename this image to something else to save it. Now rename the image you want to use to the same - "kubrickheader.jpg" without quotes of course. Upload your new image and it will work without having to mess with anything else.
Good luck and post back if you need more help.

Behind closed doors: Prostitution in "Apartment #10"
Syrian director Eyad Nahhas has finally completed filming Season 3 of the popular TV series "Sarkhat Rouh" (Cry Out of the Soul). This Season is titled "Al Shaqqa Raqam 10" (Apartment #10) and was filmed in Damascus.
The name itself is very intriguing, and so is the content! "Apartment #10" touches on the taboo subject of prostitution, which is becoming widely popular in rented apartments in the Middle East.
Who knew
According to Elaph news, the show sends out a message to those taking advantage of displaced Syrians by using them as prostitutes in rented apartments in the Arab world.
College students are the biggest number of people falling victim to this 'crime,' which the series writer Saeed Hinnawi said is becoming a phenomenon in the Middle East.
The five-part drama is produced by 'Golden Line Productions' and will star well-known actors Bassam Kousa, Abdelmonem Amairi, Marah Jabr, Sawsan Michael, Nadine Qadour and many others.

Ah! Amazing dolls! *___*
totally in love with your dolls ! they seems so real, it's amazing !
I am IN LOVE with your dolls!!!! >.< And your skill for posing and photographing them! I'm addicted to your gallery!
Where do you buy your dolls??!
Excuse me while i favorite basically half of your entire doll gallery. It's just that good.
Oh, by the way, I have to ask you: How are you able to bring your dolls outdoors? Doesn't the air (humidity, cold, heat, etc) hurt them? And aren't they stained by dirt really easily? Also, does rain affect them, whether or not they're outside? Thank you!
Thank you. x3
These dolls are hard plastic, with a relatively smooth surface. Humidity does nothing to the plastic, but if it continues for a long time, the strings would need changing eventually, however Finland's climate is very dry so that's not an issue. Heat would only be bad if it was so hot the plastic started melting/bending, but Finland isn't that hot either. xD Cold could be bad if you let your doll freeze and then bump it into something when it's fragile like that, but if you're careful, it's not an issue (I wouldn't leave them outside during winter, but 2-3 hours for a photoshoot has been completely fine). Rain is also fine, soaking the dolls in water (stream/lake/pool/sea) is another thing, though. The plastic itself will be fine again, as will any painting on the doll as long as it's coated, but the string will need drying out separately or be changed. The most harmful thing outside is the sunlight, actually: it causes the colour to yellow which is not a good thing if it happens unevenly (like there's a line where the clothes were, kinda like you'd get a tan yourself) or too strongly. All dolls yellow eventually anyway, but sunlight can cause extreme colour change etc. so it's not good. But short times in the sun are fine.
Because of their surface (and the protective coating you can put on) any dirt is also easy to clean off. You can pretty much do anything with these dolls, and they won't get damaged as long as you're ready for the after care.
No problem!
Thank you so much for the detailed reply! This was very helpful! I might live in a rainy climate one of these days, so I'm also glad to hear that it won't be a problem for the doll's skin or something!
huh... i didn't know doll photography was a thing. very pretty!
You have an amazing gallery. Both your photography work and the dolls and beautiful.

A State of Chaos:
Years ago a dimensional portal to the Outer Worlds was suddenly opened, and an enemy from the darkness encroached on our world. Led by a demon named Pompolic, armies of demonic hordes quickly overran most of the planet. The origin of Pompolic remains unknown, but it is certain that this malevolent spiritual being possesses supernatural powers. His desire is obvious: possess the people and turn them into minions of his dark army. He wields his power through his servants, the Dark Souls. The Dark Souls, protected by horde of monsters, infiltrate people's minds and make them slaves of evil. The denizens of our world are on the edge of total annihilation.
A Call for Heroes:
However, a faint hope still exists in the heart of the surviving citizens. They believe that there are brave hearts who can save the world from the source of evil. If the Dark Souls could be captured, Pompolic could be stopped and perhaps even defeated. To realize their hope, the citizens call for a hero.
The Journey:
The times when a traveler could pass through the lands without fear are gone. Now at every step there are hordes of monsters with one purpose: to protect the Dark Souls by slaying anyone who is not a follower of darkness. But a great warrior with strong will, faith, and mighty weapons may succeed in defeating them. By building his or her strength, armor, and health, by harvesting the souls of monsters to gain incredible abilities, a hero may grow strong enough to challenge the Dark Souls. Will that hero be you?
Game Features:
This is a third-person action game with RPG elements placed in a fantasy world for the PC and Nintendo Wii. The game is divided into 15 maps that range from mysterious environments to the grass strewn plains and dark dungeons. The player can choose between 2 characters, each with unique weapons and special abilities. Whichever character is chosen, there will be constant action with hordes of monsters. There are 18 types of monsters, and at the end of the game the boss awaits the player.
The game uses the latest lighting and shadowing techniques, including real-time shadows, DOT3 bump mapping, water reflections, particle systems and more. Monsters also have advanced bump-mapping and lighting models including specular lighting.

Radiosity mip map lighting, low polygonal textures and what appear to be an rpg element.Dunno what more to say, think I have sniffed better glue!!The ala diablo approach to rpg's is really not getting any more impressive, whats more all we seem to find is a rouge like or dungeon crawler concept stitched together. On top of that its always the same old classes to choose from: bards, barbarians, nomads, warriors etc..

AbstractABSTRACT: Current methods for inspecting aircraft engine inlet and exhaust cavities are labor intensive and error prone. Airmen crawl into ducts looking for defects, trace suspected sites on Mylar sheets noting their position relative to cavity features, and manually enter the data into an aircraft assessment system. Technology that can reduce inspection times and eliminate sources of human error will benefit the Air Force by significantly increasing aircraft reliability and availability while reducing lifecycle maintenance costs. To address this critical need, Intelligent Automation, Inc. proposes to develop AUTO-SCAN, a damage registration sensor that will automatically characterize and register defects in the aircraft coordinate system. The Phase I effort demonstrated the feasibility of the AUTO-SCAN concept through the design, development and testing of a Phase I prototype. Phase II will develop the AUTO-SCAN system to TRL 8/MRL 6 maturity, integrate it with current aircraft health assessment systems, and validate the utility of the system via multiple user operational evaluations. BENEFIT: The key advantage of the proposed device is to automate the process of defect analysis to decrease inspection time, improve accuracy and eliminate sources of human error. This inspection technology will benefit the Air Force by significantly increasing aircraft reliability and availability while reducing lifecycle maintenance costs.

Re: Error Getting Free Trial
Thanks for the reply!
The number didn't help much. myFICO blamed Equifax for not updating their records. So I called Equifax and their dispute process takes forever. So my AAoA turns about one year in two months, I'll check again then.
However, you still get that warning even after 10 years...?!

How Does Infinera Instant Bandwidth™ Work?Infinera Instant Bandwidth enables optical transport network operators to rapidly deploy bandwidth in various increments including 100 Gb/s without having to deploy and install additional line cards in the system. It offers transport operators the ability to rapidly provision additional capacity with a success-based business model. Instant Bandwidth enables service providers to differentiate their services by shortening provisioning times, accelerating service delivery, and reducing time to revenue.
Innovation evolved: Time-based Instant BandwidthInfinera has now advanced the Instant Bandwidth solution to offer a new on-demand Time-based capability. It enables network operators to temporarily activate line-side bandwidth in 25 Gb/s, 37.5Gb/s, 50 Gb/s or 100 Gb/s increments depending on application, with deactivation at the end of a customer-specified time period. It helps fine-tune the bandwidth characteristics to more closely match traffic patterns, service demands, and network disruptions. Time-based Instant Bandwidth offers flexible control of network capacity as well as its duration, thereby, facilitating truly dynamic capabilities to build an Intelligent Transport Network.
Comparing Infinera Instant Bandwidth™ with the CompetitionInfinera Instant Bandwidth enables operators to deploy WDM capacity in various increments including 100 Gb/s the same day as they turn on the customer services. In contrast, competitive solutions use conventional architecture that results in a time "penalty". This is because they require multiple time consuming activities for each additional 100G line card that needs to be deployed such as ordering, shipping, installation and provisioning taking several weeks to fulfill. A potential alternate approach for a competitive solution would be to over-order WDM line-cards for a chassis incurring a significant money "penalty".

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Whether by plan or happenstance, it looks like 2012 is likely to turn into the year when Image Comics is more relevant to the comic industry than it's been since it was first founded 20 years ago. The publisher isn't just at the center of multiple conversations about the future of the industry as it stands today, it's on the "right side" of the argument in so many (if not all) of them.
Perhaps it's just my cynical and increasingly jaded eye, but so far it feels as if 2012 has been about two big issues in terms of the comics conversation: Creator Rights, and the Need For New Ideas Instead Of Rebooting Old Ones Or Pitting The Avengers Against The X-Men One More Time (Arguably, there are also conversations about double-shipping and the price of books, but I'm not sure the first has peaked, and the second feels like it is just a holdover from a conversation we were having last year, if that makes sense). For both of these "big issue" topics, Image has a silver bullet: Image lets creators own all rights for their books – even if that doesn't prevent conflict between the creators about rights ownership, as the Robert Kirkman/Tony Moore lawsuit over The Walking Dead demonstrates all too well – and launches all-new series with new concepts literally on a monthly basis, with the structure of the company's output easily emphasizing new ideas over legacy characters.
(You could also point to the recent, and surprisingly great, revival of the Extreme characters as a way to approach legacy characters as something other than exercises in nostalgia, if you were so inclined. Even though Prophet and Glory are more than a decade old, the approaches to each book are impressively free of a desire to reprise Greatest Hits or story lines past.)
I'm not sure whether or not this is Image coming back into the zeitgeist at the right time, proof of the cyclical nature of things, or something altogether different, but it's been fascinating to watch Image become very definitely enmeshed in the center of the big conversations about the future of mainstream American comics after too long, it feels, on the sidelines. This coincides with them coming back into the center of mainstream American comics with their output, too, with new series from Big Two big names like Ed Brubaker, Jonathan Hickman, Mark Millar and Grant Morrison this year alone, what feels like their most recognizable new creator signings in some time. These are the writers behind some of the biggest comics of recent years, and if they're not names immediately recognizable to the general public, their work is likely to be; if the mainstream success of The Walking Dead wasn't enough to get people paying attention to Image, hopefully the "size" of creators moving to the publisher will do it, instead.
At this rate, 2012 may end up being the year of Image – and, ideally, Image as gateway to all of the other independent publishers instead of Image-as-Image alone. It's taken a long time to come, and it'll be interesting to see what comes afterwards, if it happens.
A combination of luck and smart planning has allowed Image to position themselves as a serious alternative to DC and Marvel, and I'm very excited about a lot of their upcoming comics. I barely read Marvel as it is, and while I still love DC, I'm not in love with a lot of their stuff. I've wanted to branch out in terms of what I read for awhile now, and Image's ascension has come at a perfect time for me. Still, we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that while what image is doing is really interesting, they're still a company that's trying to make a profit, just like DC and Marvel. Image just isn't so naked about it.
Guess what, Daredevil is the only Marvel comic book I buy.
As for DC, just a few Bat-titles, JLA and Green Lantern.
Independent comic books, depending on what titles are available per month, no real favorite pull out list (I'm waiting for bluespear One-Shot from Com.X).
That's about it.
Image and Dark Horse are the best positioned companies to bring new readers to the comics medium in the US. People often mistake DC and Marvel's dwindling sales as evidence that the public aren't interested in comics. This is false. They aren't interested in superhero comics.
The mainstream success of comics like The Walking Dead, Scott Pilgrim, Persepolis and Hark! A Vagrant over the last few years – not to mention the continuing success of Vertigo series like Fables and Scalped in trades as well as 'young adult' and manga material – shows that there is an audience beyond the Direct Market. Yes, some of those series I mentioned above have had film adaptations but they were selling bucketloads even before that and, arguably, it was their commercial success which led to their being adapted into films in the first place.
By a vast margin, Image have the most exciting series and creators for 2012. Where else can you get new series by the likes of Grant Morrison, Ed Brubaker, Mark Millar, Frank Quitely, Robert Kirkman and more?
And you know what else? You're never going to see Image doing a 'Before Walking Dead' against any of the original creators' wishes. Nice, ain't it?
Image has been making the right moves for a while now and having been consistently putting out creative titles that run the entire gamut. I haven't seen such interesting output form a company sense DC's Proto/Vertigo titles first hit the scene. They hinted that they had some things waiting in the wings at comic con last year and dropped the news about Saga and much more to come in 2012. Very smart move on their part to go about it that way. They're striking while the irons hot and have definitely tapped into the zeitgeist of longtime readers. Now that the new car smell is fading from the New 52 and Marvel continues to rehash the same old storylines their fresh approach is ready to be accepted by more discerning lovers of the medium, but those devoted to the casual fair offered by the tights and fights comics of the Big Two as well.
All their big titles are from people who made their names at the Big 2. Its still very rare to become big if you have not. People will buy the big names and probably not even try the smaller titles, just like everywhere else. Still, its about damn time Image has been considered a mainstream publisher. They're not independent anymore. I read posts by people who only buy Image, just like people who only buy DC. Image won't be a gateway to other indie titles because they're not an indie company. People still won't look outside of the box.
Also, I'm not bashing Image. They print a lot of books I enjoy, but I'm just tired of people calling them indie.
The problem is, Image has failed to produce very many books that demand monthly purchases. The "habit" of favorite characters or books from Marvel and DC is very strong, the need for the next fix is very real.
At this point in time, our culture has produced so much fiction, in film, tv, books, and comics there really is no such thing as 'new'. Everything is a variation of everything else. Whats happened is that whoever was first, gets a stranglehold. Marvel and DC control most of the fictional "archetypes" in comics, hence the majority of sales.
By archetype i don't mean genre or superheroes.
Will these new series change that? I very much doubt it. These will have a small, niche impact. A much larger impact in trade collections, where I would buy them.
In January, Image's best selling book was number #59 and DC's reboot (which you imply was a bad thing) has the top 10 slots. I like Pigs. Hell, actually, I love Pigs, but if you think it's ever going to outsell even Aquaman, you're out of your ****ing gourd. They've got a few titles and, yes, those bigs names will come in and do ONE series, and then they'll go back to Icon or Vertigo. You didn't even mention Brian K. Vaughn and Saga, which is probably the actual most important thing they are doing this year.
Oh, in case you weren't paying attention, Top Cow just rebooted their entire universe, so, um, there, basically…
Sure, Image is trying to make a profit — but they're trying to make a profit for the creators, not for themselves. Image, as a company, isn't set up to turn a profit. Any money they make goes to paying the staff and office expenses, that's pretty much it.
At this point, I buy as many Image titles as I do DC. All told of the two dozen new titles that I have added or plan on adding in the first five months of this year (up thru the most recent solicits), over a dozen are from Image alone. Batman has me interested enough to keep buying much of the line, but I can see myself dropping half of them after the Owls cross-over. Between price point and the general lousy behavior of Marvel editors like Steve Wacker, I'm down to one Marvel title, and half the reason I stuck with Ultimate Spidey was the art. She's been absent for a few issues now and apparently has a new title coming, so that one's likely to get dropped too.
I love superheroes. I get my Marvel fix on the big screen and on their cartoons. Batman is still worth following every month, but if Snyder and Tomasi leave and the new cartoon is as well written as B:TAS, I can give up THAT habit pretty easily.
I don't read Image for big names. Heck, I doubt that can tell you who writes or draws half of the books without looking. I like the mix of done-in-one mini series, ongoing monthlies that have an ending, and the evergreen never-ending books like Invincible and Walking Dead. It's that variety of storytelling that has made me trying almost every new title from Image now, much like I used to do with Vertigo.
Black people writing monthly comics at Marvel, DC or Dark Horse? Zero.
The last Black man standing in comics is Enrique Carrion at Image.
Coincidence? I think not.
I still prefer my DC to everything else. I flip through Previews every month. Image publishes nothing that interests me
Good points but I have to say that Valiant characters coming back is the thing that most excites me for 2012. They look to be doing something very surprising just as the original Valiant did. Most of the details are kept close to the chest and when they release information its innovative, smart and/or impressive. Cary Nord on X-O is perfect and his art is beautiful. Joshua Dysart on Harbinger is pitch perfect. The X-O Manowar talking mouth was new and I have to say smart. It made people pay attention. I hope they can keep it up
Kudos to Image. As a 30+ year comic reader, I have got to say, most of the nostalgia-based superhero comics bore me to tears. In the DCnU faux reboot, they had a chance to do something innovative and original. Mostly what we got was the same old crap with new costumes (there were a few exceptions, such as 'I, Vampire'). Now we get Earth 2, another chance, and what are we going to get? more of the same. The Big 2 are stuck, which I just promoting their stagnation and slow demise.
I bought a bunch of those first DCnU titles, the first single issues I have bought in years. Now, 6 plus months in, and am not buying any of them except some of the better dark titles.
And AvX, that is just more tired big-event retread…
Yesterday, while standing in Hastings, I was going to pick up more trades, but instead picked up Fatale #1 and #2. I am hooked. I have to head 30 miles away to pick up Glory and Prophet (living in a small town in Idaho is bad for your indie comic lovin') but I do that too.
I'm glad to see Image seems to have gotten away from the "too many second rate superheroes" image (no pun intended) it had in the 90s, with different genres being offered.
While I like Superman/DC's characters, I dislike most of the "New 52″, which feels like the same stuff I disliked about DC before, only cranked up to 11/made more "x-treme." Thus been looking lately for other material to read…and started to read "Reed Gunther" from Image. Fun book so far!
Looking at the comments I sure do see alot of " oh well I read mainly DC and maybe some image."
Everyone has opinions and that's cool. But if youre just another mindless sheep with your sheep opinion, throwing your money towards crap, then you just support mediocrity. "I luvs aquaman because everyone says he's cool now. Him and batman 4 life!!"
I guess it's up to the people who live and think above the rabble of drones to explore and seek out new ideas while the sheep scream and deficate everywhere.
I feel like DC fans just attack everyone these days. I plan on trying most of the new image stuff. Believe it or not I buy from more than two publishers.
I don't really see DC fans who are attacking Image. I also don't see DC really shoveling the same old stuff. Swamp Thing, Animal Man, Frankenstein, Voodoo, Grifter, All-Star Western, OMAC, war comics, etc. They have just as much variety as Image.
Also, I'd be surprised to see people claim they buy non-licensed comics out of the top five publishers.
Mr Pants wrote: "Still, its about damn time Image has been considered a mainstream publisher. They're not independent anymore."
It depends on what you mean by "independent." Marvel is owned by Disney. DC is owned by Warner Bros. You can't say the same about Image. A guy doing an Image book isn't getting a page rate from a corporation. It's about as independent as you can get.
I'd argue that Image IS independent, but it's certainly not small press.
But again, it goes back to how you define "independent."
I mostly agree with this topic. Image is doing really well so far. For the last few years they've been getting better and better. I think it's mainly because they're producing really good comics. This year it seems they've just been getting great books with fantastic talent, such as Quitely and Vaughan.
It's unfortunate that even with all this buzz, an Image comic may never sell as well as a Marvel or DC, but there may be one book that can get to the top this year or come close.
By the way, go and get Prophet, it's so good!
Speaking of Prophet, they have enough capital to put out work-for-hire comics. They've done anthologies and tie-ins as well. I would assume the artists got paid for those, because I don't think many would work for Tori Amons for free.
Besides all of this, mainstream is all about the clout and exposure it gives the work put out by a company. If you're in the front of Previews, you're pretty mainstream.
Yes, the guys working on the new Extreme books are doing work-for-hire work, but it has nothing to do with Image Comics having "capital." Image isn't paying those guys, because Image doesn't own Prophet. Rob Liefeld does, so whatever contracts are involved are between Rob Liefeld and the guys working on the new books.
I don't know what kind of deal was involved with the Tori Amos book, but I worked on an Image anthology and it was a back-end deal for a slice of the profits — just like all Image books.
if not for IMAGE .. I wouldn't be buying many comics these days .. well .. IMAGE and DYNAMITE and BOOM and DARK HORSE .. and Terry Moore .. love his stuff ..
It's not because of the brand on the cover .. it's because that is where the good stuff is .. where you really enjoy reading an issue .. and you really look forward to the next issue ..
I actually am kind of curious, how does the image deal work with Trades, is it the same cost upfront to Image for overhead as a regular issue?
Do you make more off the trades or the issues?
I only ask because the next few months show a huge increase in the number of Image books I plan on buying and I am really enjoying Near Death but am torn between getting a monthly fix and waiting for the trade, which I would likely reread more. So you know impasse.
As for Image in 2012, between Fatale, Near Death, Peter Panzerfaust, and Nancy in Hell, it's been a pretty good few months already. With creators like Vaughn & Staples, Wood & Doyle, Morrison & Robertson, and Hickman all launching books this year, it's a very exciting time to be a fan of comics.
Image is taking up more and more of my pull list these days, and it's not because of some "I'm going to my room and gearing up all my Batman posters sort of protest either. While I like that they are on the "right side" of creator's rights issues (doesn't their business model sort of require them to be?), their books have just been more interesting to me of late.
Also, Jay – I'm really loving Near Death, and I hope you have the chance to do more books With Image (or anybody else!) in 2012.
Mr Pants:
All their big titles are from people who made their names at the Big 2.
To be fair, The Walking Dead and Invincible were both steadily increasing their readership before Kirkman ever touched a Marvel title.
Hannibal Tabu:
Black people writing monthly comics at Marvel, DC or Dark Horse? Zero.
Poor Marc Bernardin. He seemed pretty excited to write Static Shock, and now his run's only going to be two issues.
I thought 2011 was the year of Image.
@Neil Cameron
I actually am kind of curious, how does the image deal work with Trades, is it the same cost upfront to Image for overhead as a regular issue?

This is a more difficult question to answer than you might think — Image does take a percentage of profits from the trades, on top of a standard fee. But that's because trades are so expensive to produce and take a long time to earn their money back. Trades are a marathon, singles are a sprint. That's why it's hard to say which I make more money on — for Near Death, it's the singles, because the trade is so new. Over time, the trade will make more money.
I'm flattered you're concerned about that, but you really shouldn't be — just buy the book in whichever format makes the most sense for you.
I look forward to Image books more than I do Marvel and DC. Like it was stated, how many times can you have the Avengers fight the X-Men (or do sequels to Crisis on Infinite Earths). I still read some Marvel/DC titles but I find as time goes on I read less and rather pick up books by smaller publishers like Image, BOOM, Dark Horse, Red 5, etc. who are actually creating stuff, not retreading it.
@ Mr Pants:
People call Image "indie" because no major corporation owns Image. DC and Marvel are not indie because they are owned by Warner Brothers and Disney, respectively.
"Indie" as in independent, you silly person.
To be honest its not that Image has suddenly got better, its that both Marvel & DC are so shockingly bad at the moment. Image is putting out exactly the same kind of material that they always have, the only game changing thing is that DC's much hyped reboot was not followed up with material of substance & marvel has become so exclusively incestious that image is really the only company with more then 2 books on the shelf.
Thats not so much a pat on the back for Image, as much as it is a scathing condemnation of both DC & Marvel.
I love comics (especially super hero comics) in theory: In practice both DC &Marvel are making it excedingly hard to continue to care. I was a huge fanboy for both the companies up until recently… I'm now down to 4 books ;2 from DC & 2 from marvel one of which is a year late & the other 4 years late. You really are making it hard for people to care anymore.
Yep completely agree with original post. I have found myself adding more and more titles from Image and just skimming the fat from DC (Grifter with Lefield, Voodoo, JL Dark) and Marvel (X-Men Legacy, New Mutants). And too tell you the truth I have never fell more bumped for Image since the first issue of Spawn was coming out.
This year it's image and valiant. For me!
I've noticed Image getting more of my money lately, and that's a good thing. I'm also buying IDW, Dynamite, a bit of Dark Horse and sometimes Boom! I still buy more DC than any other publisher, but that's been the norm for most of the last forty years.
I left out Marvel above, because they've been producing fewer and fewer books that interest me, and last year's conversation is still driving my purchasing habits that I'm loathe to take a chance on what I see as an overpriced book. (This is particularly the case in digital where companies like IDW and Dynamite drop $3.99 books to $1.99 after a month or so – but Marvel leaves theirs at whatever they came in at indefinitely.)
Image? Really? The Liefeld titles being booted up again is not gonna save their arse.
Image is indie.
If you think books like Proof, Chew, Lil Depress Boy and Green Wake are mainstream, then you need to look up mainstream again.
The reason behind Image's continued success lies with their business model of enticing high-end creators/writers to create comics specifically geared towards movies/TV.
Lets face it, besides Spawn, The Savage Dragon and the Walking Dead, almost every other Image title is following a time-stamped limited series formula specifically geared as a pitch towards movie studios.
There's HARDLY ANY OTHER IMAGE title out there that is set as a continuation, i.e. an actual title that goes beyond issue number 4.
When I see new comics announced each month by Image I always notice that their ideas are not too far fetched. They always seem like perfect, real-world environments aimed towards a mid to large sized movie budget. In other words the average Image title won't involve a battle between gods and billions of entities across multiple planets…but rather, say, a band of US characters coming across something in the sea like the "The Vault", or men robbing banks using a fancy device like in "Theory of Everything". They do this on purpose because if it's too far-fetched it means too big of a budget for any proposed movie, and that scares off producers.
This is why I choose not to read Image comics, because they curry these ideas not for the average comic reader but for movie execs. I can clearly imagine Image writers creating a comic specifically set to woo in Will Smith or Tom Cruise.
It's like the Image 90's all over again except instead of aiming it towards toys and video games it's Movies and TV.
(I say this because I recall an interview with Joe Madureia (sp?) in Wizard magazine in the 90's where he talks about a new book he made called Battle something. The book hadn't even reached issue 3 yet and he was already mentioning working with toy and video game companies about upcoming projects related to this book. Talk about the cart pulling the horse here).
The goal of course if obvious, easy money. Image MAKES FAR MORE MONEY off of licensed properties than anything else. Same goes for the creative team. They even option a title and that means hundreds of thousands of dollars out of thin air, irregardless of whether the damn thing gets made or not. And of course if it does get made then that means many more dollars.
Hey more power to them, it's a business model they're not going to change anytime soon, but I'd rather stick with the fantastical/fantasy/superhero worlds of Marvel and DC than read stuff catered to Hollywood.
Image Comics has always been indie.
"Indie" doesn't mean "small." And Marvel Comics was mainstream even before the Disney acqusition. Marvel is the biggest player on the comic book field, you know that. Always has been.
Image is even more independent than most comic fans think–the projects all come out in direct collaboration with their creators, with the creators/studio heads fronting a fee–part of the setup cost.
With all due respect, your comments are very naive.
"I'd rather stick with the fantastical/fantasy/superhero worlds of Marvel and DC than read stuff catered to Hollywood."
Have you been living in a cave for the last few decades? Are you completely unaware of the non-stop flood of Marvel and DC superhero movies and Tv projects? Come on man, you're smarter than that.
I think what you perceive as "movie pitch" comics is actually nothing more than the emerging diversity in genre. I'm not sure how anyone could see that in a negative light. It's clearly a positive trend, not a negative.
The reason creator-owned books tend to be miniseries instead of ongoings is because as independent creators, we fund our comics out of pocket. In my case, SWEETS is a 5 issue miniseries because I wrote, penciled, inked, colored, and designed the book without payment. Think about that for a minute. ZERO PAYMENT. The goal is for the comic to become a commercial success, then, and only then, do I get paid.
The odds of selling an option for film/TV is very low, and most options are a low dollar amount. This isn't something creators can afford to gamble on, trust me. Our gamble is that the comic will sell, and continue to sell and stay in print (or digital) for the next 50+ years. That's where we'll make our money. A long-term investment of intellectual property. If an option is sold for film or TV, that's simply a bonus.
Do you have any idea what kind of budget you'd need to film Skullkickers or G0dland or Nightmare World or The Red Wing or Last of the Greats or The Darkness or about a thousand other things?
If you want to stick with Marvel/DC, that's your call, but I don't think you've got a particularly solid grasp of the economics of comics OR Hollywood, friend.
Wow, I want to live in william's make-believe world!
William, man … shit, I don't even know where to start.
First off: Astounding Wolf-Man, Bomb Queen, Morning Glories, Chew, Invincible, Elephantmen, Godland, Hack/Slash, Haunt, Mice Templar, Proof, and Super Dinosaur. Those are just a handful of current or recent Image titles that have gone well beyond issue 4, despite your claim otherwise. Hell, my own series, Near Death, has issue #6 out later this month (and we're currently working on issue #9). My previous series, Dynamo 5, lasted 25 issues, plus a 5-issue mini-series. My serious before that, Noble Causes, lasted over 50 issues, when you tally up the various mini-series plus the ongoing.
And frankly, a lot of the books I listed would make terrible movies or TV shows — that's because they were developed TO BE COMIC BOOKS. They're not thinly-veiled movie pitches. Don't get me wrong, I understand your frustration — because there ARE publishers out there whose entire business model is the "4-issue movie pitch" model. But Image sure as hell isn't one of 'em.
And what "licensed properties" are you talking about? The ones you say Image is making so much money off of? Image doesn't HAVE any licensed properties. I'm not even sure you understand how Image works, man. Your understanding of how much money is involved in a movie or TV option is, unfortunately, quite exaggerated.

2001 Toyota Tundra 4dr Access Cab SR5 2WD SB (3.4L 6cyl 5M)
The only vehicles I have ever owned
have been long-lasting Toyota pick up
trucks. After owning the Tundra, I am
ready to switch makes, which I never
thought I would do. This vehicle
guzzles gas, makes too much noise, and
never seems able to find the right
gear. I am willing to give up some
comfort to get more efficiency.
The interior is very comfortable, very
large when the arm rest is up, and the
back seat works for my son's car seat.
Make a hybrid and take more
responsibility for the environment. I
can't drive this truck with a clear
conscience. Toyota has sold out and I
want to get out!
Love the truck. It is very powerful and
responsive. Milage is Ok - around 16
mpg overall 18 on the highway.No
mechanical problems.
Good ergonomics for the driver.
Comfortable captains chairs
More room is needed for the back seat.
This has probably taken care of with
the new 4 - door.
Buy It. It rocks. I get about 18mpg.
good enough for me & a truck. I have
the "Ivan Stewart" edition, so I am
god-like. best truck made 2001-2002 9.90
out of 10.00
Suicide Doors
Sun-Roof, which now comes on the 2004
I have had the truck almost 3 years
now. Have had no problems of any kind.
It is a very comfortable ride with
plenty of power. I put a shell on it &
experienced no performance drop off.
Gas mileage actually improved by 1/2
mi. per gal.
The quiet, smooth ride is a joy on
trips. Can drive all day & not feel
tired or cramped.
Great vehicle - can definitely do
better on gas mileage. Ultimately
reliable - smooth quiet ride. Would
definitely get another one.
Gas mileage. Sturdier front bumper -
dents too easily.

anyone else feeling increasingly guilted into adoption? i certainly am feeling very guilty about the prospect of bringing my child into this world with no daddy.
Society seems to have the very strong opinion that a child needs 2 parents in order to be successful, happy or normal. My parents and friends have been constantly drilling this into me too, day after day, telling me what a "gift" my baby would be to some loving couple (read - *couple*, 2 people), etc. I'm starting to wonder if they're right...if I really would be doing an injustice raising this baby on my own, without a dad...sigh :(

This was a lovely thick soup. It was rich, deep and very flavorful. We loved it. So quick and easy to put together. I will definitely be making this again. Thanks so much for sharing Jewelies.
I made a half recipe of this soup except for the noodles-the two of us piggies shared 400g fresh noodles! This meant we ended up with a beefy, wet noodle dish rather than a soup. As this was our dinner, I though 50g noodles was a bit light on for us. I think the soup lacked vegies to make it a complete meal and I would suggest blanching asparagus, broccoli and snow peas etc (or any combo you like) then adding them in for the last minute or two. This is a rich and delicious soup and has quite an authentic flavour for minimum work. I'll be making it again with the additions I mentioned.

Let's say I've got a DHCP server that will serve 10 subnets. 9 of the subnets will be on the "example.org" domain and one will receive no domain from the DHCP server. I set
option domain-name "example.org"
as a global parameter in dhcpd.conf. In the specific subnet that I don't wish to give a domain to I can override the global parameter by specifying a new one in that specific block.
My question, however, is how would I completely negate that global parameter for the subnet, rather than specifying a more specific parameter for that subnet?

A programmable edge-combining delay-locked loop (DLL) with fast switching transient and reduced output spur is presented in this work. With 12 delay cells adopted in the DLL, the programmable frequency-multiplied output can be quickly switched between ×6, ×3, and ×2 without affecting the lock state of the DLL. Output spur is suppressed by reducing the DLL phase offset in the lock state, which is achieved by decreasing the charge-pump (CP) current during the idle interval of the phase detector. The proposed DLL frequency synthesizer, which has been realized in a CMOS 90-nm technology, consumes 20 mW at 1.2 V supply with the frequency-multiplied output covering from 0.45 to 5.4 GHz. For 850-MHz input clock, the phase noise at 1-MHz frequency offset after ×6, ×3, and ×2 is -121.4, -127.4, and -129.7 dBc/Hz, respectively. The corresponding output spurs achieve -26.2, -36.8, and -39.2 dBc for ×6, ×3, and ×2, which are 7.6, 5.9, and 15.4 dB lower than those using a conventional current-steering CP, respectively.

So, that Army of Darkness sequel Bruce Campbell was talking about the other week? Not happening, according to … uh, Bruce Campbell.
"It's all Internet b.s. – there's no reality whatsoever," the actor said in a recent interview. "These random comments slip out of my mouth or Sam Raimi's mouth, next thing you know, we're making a sequel."
In fairness, Campbell's the one who ignited the fire in the first place. During a convention appearance last month, the erstwhile Ash Williams said, "the answer is yes" to a sequel, after joking about the possibilities of an aged Ash.
"Ash would have to stop occasionally from chasing some deadite to catch his breath," he said. "Maybe we could do that, I guess. That would be exciting. Fight in a walker. That would be all right. Hit them with my cane. Fake them out, have a fake heart attack, distract a zombie. I like it."
But he doesn't like it enough to make it into a movie, it seems. Time to put those Army of Darkness hopes to rest for now, then — until Campbell opens up his mouth again promptly before shoving his own words back inside, at least.
(via Shock Till You Drop)
Come on, Love AOD and Bruce Campbell, but really? The movie came out in 1992 for crying out loud. 21 years later people seriously think there would be a market for a sequel? This isn't Rocky, like Bruce said nobody wants to see an old-man Ash fighting deadites. it would probably be really lame and dated. Some things are just classic and nostalgic and should be left alone.
