Awww, Paul - you can take the "Hump the Book" tag, even though you weren't the first to come up with it.
You weren't the first with "Constant Reader", either.
"sex after kids" and "true" doesn't go together -- is this filed in the Humor section?
@2: Shut up and divorce her already. We're tired of your whining.
Man you should have known Ethan 20 years ago when he was hotter than hell.

Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
Here's how this will work. There will be a poll with 100 stories on it below. Simply vote for every story that you think is a "great Superman story." Just put a check next to each box next to each story you think is a great Superman story and then press "vote" at the end of the poll. You can vote for all 100 of them. You can vote for 90 of them. You can vote for 9 of them. Whatever floats your boat. Only you can decide what you think is a great Superman story.
If you're unsure what any given story is about, here is a more detailed list of nominees. Just click on the grouping with the given story number (like "74. 'Superman Under the Green Sun!' Superman Volume 1 #155″ would be in the group "Greatest Superman Stories: Nominees #71-80″) for a more detailed description of the story.
Greatest Superman Stories: Nominees #1-10
Greatest Superman Stories: Nominees #11-20
Greatest Superman Stories: Nominees #21-30
Greatest Superman Stories: Nominees #31-40
Greatest Superman Stories: Nominees #41-50
Greatest Superman Stories: Nominees #51-60
Greatest Superman Stories: Nominees #61-70
Greatest Superman Stories: Nominees #71-80
Greatest Superman Stories: Nominees #81-90
Greatest Superman Stories: Nominees #91-100
Read on for the poll!
You have until Wednesday morning to vote!
I voted for 17 of them! I guess that means it's a good selection.
Kinda bummed I didn't see the Brainiac Y2K story on there or any of Joe Casey's awesome Superman run other than ending battle but otherwise a good list.
When will this poll be concluding? Will we have the results by the 18th, or is that a bit much to hope for?
It's a great list (and I say that as a not-so-big Superman fan). My own personal addition would be Swamp Thing #79 where Superman defends Luthor against Swamp Things' wrath, it's a great look at Supes' character and what makes him tick, I think.
hmmm. Moore's 2 parter is a good comic, tough not a good superman comic. I mean superman a quitter?
"Superman would have to stop being superman if he ever killed" was a foundational part of the character's pre-crisis formulation. Part of how the more modern versions are faded reflections…
My own addition would be Action Comics 534-541 (The 'Half a Superman' story where he's split into two people each with half of his powers.)
I wanted to vote for just one, but could'nt. All Star is the best in my opinion by far, with For All Seasons coming in at # 2
I voted for 12 because I wanted to keep some exclusivity. I tried just doing a top ten, but I couldn't figure out how to cut the last two.
Really really surprised to see that For Tomorrow didn't make the nominees list. Personally, I didn't really like the story, but I thought it was famous enough and well-regarded enough that it would definitely make the list.
A few stories I was personally sad didn't make the nominees list:
-The introduction of Mongul, from DC Comics Presents 26-29, by Wein & Starlin
-Return to Krypton, from Superman 17, by Byrne & Mignola
-Swamp Thing 79, by Veitch, where Superman protects Luthor
-The Death of Superboy, from Superman 8/Action 591/Legion 37-38, by Byrne, Levitz, and Laroque
And even though it's really not a Superman story, I also kinda figured Dark Knight Returns 4 would be here, but I'm glad it isn't.
I also tried to limit myself to ten, but ending up voting for twelve.
It would have been fourteen if Swamp Thing #79 and The Dark Knight Rises #4 had been on the poll.
Of Thee I Sing is the absolute best!
This was a lot of fun, and now I'm digging through my back issues!
When will this poll be concluding? Will we have the results by the 18th, or is that a bit much to hope for?
The countdown will begin tomorrow afternoon. That's the beauty of votes like this, you don't need a lot of time to do them since they're so easy to fill out (so you don't need to give people a lot of time for them to get around to filling out ballots).
FYI, I believe "The Secret Revealed" should be Superman Vol. 2 #62.
Yeah, I'd say this list has about 90% of what I'd consider the Greatest Superman Stories of all time. I was a little bummed to not see For Tomorrow, Superman Vol. 2 #64 (the Christmas wish story involving a Holocaust survivor), "This Was Your Life, Superman" – a magnificent three-parter right before Infinite Crisis- or Mark of the Krypton Man. Still, a great list with plenty of good stories.
I have a feeling the Morrison lemmings will vote All-Star to the #1 spot, but we'll see.
@Carter Hall — FYI, I believe "The Secret Revealed" should be Superman Vol. 2 #62.
He's talking about the one where Lex Luthor's computer deduces that Superman is really Clark Kent (from John Byrne's run).
I have a feeling the Morrison lemmings will vote All-Star to the #1 spot, but we'll see.
The pre-emptive butthurt is quite humorous.
We see it in all of the polling. "I am voting for X but I bet Y will win because of (insert rude comment about people who think differently from you)."
Just curious, Brian – were there any suggestions that anyone emailed that resulted in you putting something on the list that you might not have otherwise?
Yeah, a couple. Plus a number of suggestions that confirmed ideas I wasn't quite sure about (Like It's a Bird). Oddly enough, the suggestions that I used have ended up being some of the most poorly polling stories so far. That makes sense, though, I guess, since if I didn't think about them right away, the voters won't either.
6 on my first scroll through, 5 more on the 2nd. I left out a few otherwise good-to-excellent ensemble stories that I felt were NOT Superman stories. My own quibble; they'll likely get voted in anyhow.
Still, excited to see the results!
There were many stories in the poll I'd heard of but wasn't sure which story they were, or knew the basics of the story and loved them (like "Superman's Older Brother") but hadn't actually read it, so in fairness I limited myself to voting for a story only if I'd actually read it (or seen it, in the case of "Panic in the Sky," both the George Reeves and the Dean Can versions).
So many stories, so many good ones, some missing (I really love the Simonson's "sand superma"n from the special, or that storie with the aliens living in the bottled kandor from just before Crisis, with art by Curt Swan ..)
and hard choices to make
There are some stories in the list i didnt vote for,that are "great stories", but not "great Superman stories"
And I still have some blackholes… (Immonen's Secret origins … )
I didn't limit my votes and ended up with 52(!). I'm glad I wasn't required to place them in order! There were 25 stories on the list I've never read (and so I didn't allow myself to vote for)
Lots of excellent stories I haven't read in far too long. Looking forward to the results!
Cool list, nothing I can think of that was omitted, and no glaring inclusions that shouldn't have been here.
Any chance of seeing the Superboy stories that would have made the list if people wanted them on?
Omissions for me would be:
Last Son of Earth + Last Stand on Krypton
For Tomorrow
That one someone mentioned where he's split in two.
The Swamp Thing story.
The Clark Kent Fired story from the mid-80s.
Yeah, where's the DC Comics Presents story with Swamp Thing? >:(
You know, I would include the whole Darkseid story arc that started in Superman: The Animated Series and continued on through Justice League. I thought Bruce Timm (or his people) made that into an outstanding long-term story arc.
It's number 24
I hope I got my vote in in time. I didn't read the instructions properly, so I figured we had to pick our 10 favourites, and I stopped to put a bit of thought into it. Didn't realize I could just click on the ones I liked 'til it was (almost?) too late.
Anyhoo, I limited myself to stories I've actually read, rather than voting by reputation, and left out company-wide crossovers and such (like Crisis and Kingdom Come), and wound up picking 22 of 'em. And out of that 22, only 10 of 'em were pre-Crisis (or pre-Byrne, at least), and only 5 of those can officially be considered Silver Age. (And just for the record, out of the 12 that remained, absolutely none of 'em were from the "nu52″.)
I'm not that wild about that list. Not at all. Here are some of MY FAVORITES:
ACTION COMICS #1: "SUPERMAN" Where he stops the wife beater and saves the guy from Death Row!
SUPERMAN V. WONDER WOMAN (treasury)- Where they fight over whether or not America (or anybody) should have an atomic bomb!)
SUPERMAN (vol. two) #3- "BLOODSPORT" Supes versus a war veteran–or is he?
ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN (I can't remember issues) "WHO IS THE NEW GANGBUSTER?"
Damn. The Swamp Thing story wasn't omitted after all – and I didn't vote for it.
I made this comment on the last page, but I guess it's unlikely to be seen there–so I'll restate it here: I'm surprised that ACTION COMICS 385 – 387–"The Immortal Superman"–didn't make it into the one hundred.
I'm pretty sure this story influenced Grant Morrison (in terms of One Million among other things)–and it probably influenced Alan Moore (if not on his actual stories then on things like Supreme or Tom Strong). And Neil Gaiman has Clark Kent mention it to Bruce Wayne, when they're in the Dreaming at "The Wake" for SANDMAN.
It's the kind of story that echoes down through the history of DC up to the present. And it was a pretty good read. Certainly in my top five of Superman stories.
I also would have liked some more Golden Age stories to vote for. I guess that comic strips don't count–but "The League to Destroy Superman" was a darn good story.

Welcome to Pilot Light, a periodic preview/analysis of new fall TV shows. These are not full-fledged reviews (those will come later), but rather pieces that will explore common themes popping up this year, as well as noting the strengths and weaknesses of various show concepts, performances, and time-period scheduling. First up: girls, girls, girls!
2 Broke Girls, co-conceived by the season's new It Girl, Whitney Cummings, and the Zooey Deschanel-starring New Girl are among the first new shows that will premiere (Sept. 19 and 20). In the first, Kat Dennings (Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist) and Beth Behrs star as waitresses in a diner. The gimmick: Behrs' Caroline is a wealthy young woman recently brought low. Her father, who sounds not-suspiciously like Bernie Madoff, has been arrested due to illegal financial doings, and so Caroline has no cash to withdraw from him. Dennings' Max is just a working-class girl, but with Dennings, there's no such thing as "just": This is an actress who puts a wicked spin on every line.
<embed src="http://widgets.vodpod.com/w/video_embed/Video.15337330" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" AllowScriptAccess="sameDomain" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" wmode="transparent" flashvars=" width="425" height="350" />
Broke Girls, which Cummings developed with Sex and the City's Michael Patrick King, will probably benefit by feeling familiar (it is, after all, just a variation on The Odd Couple and a thousand other odd-couple sitcoms) while making a lot of racy jokes that sound pretty funny coming from the mouths of Dennings and Behrs. It also helps the show's survival chances enormously that it's scheduled on Monday nights between How I Met Your Mother and Two and a Half Men.
Similarly, when it comes to programming strategy, New Girl will get some immediate viewership from the right demographic when it's slotted into Tuesday nights after Glee. Why, Deschanel's character, Jess, even breaks into spontaneous song! But, thank goodness, that's not the premise of the show. Not that it's more original than Glee: New Girl offers Deschanel's Jess as a young woman who's broken up with her boyfriend and, the economy and sitcoms being what they are, moves into an apartment shared by three guys, strangers to her.
Deschanel plays up Jess' adorability to such an extent that at the Television Critics Association gathering in August, one member of my profession actually asked the actress, "When did you first know you were adorable?" (TV critics: We're nothing if not hard-hitting.)
These two shows aren't so much about girl power as they are about girl strategy: All three protagonists are young women who use their stereotypical "girl" qualities – flirtiness, mock-innocence, adroit manipulation of dumb males – to achieve some of their goals. In both shows, for example, a simple goal is achieved: By the end of the premiere episode, Jess, Max, and Caroline all have new places to live. Both shows, as you may have extrapolated from that goal, are also examples of whimsical looks at a very real problem – i.e., the economy sucks. It's hard out there for a girl with no large amount of money.
Neither New Girl (which looks as though it will soon settle in as an ongoing tale of Jess and her new roomies helping her with her romantic, not financial, life) nor 2 Broke Girls (which can find it in its pleasantly hard heart to make jokes about Caroline's displaced polo pony by the end of the first half hour) is going to be a downer about scrimping. But both shows work as comfort-viewing for an audience that cannot take security for granted – a far cry/laugh from the casually posh lifestyle enjoyed by, say, the supposedly not-wealthy chums on Friends.
I'd be curious to know whether you are intrigued by New Girl and/or 2 Broke Girls.

Substance Abuse and Addiction Health Center
Drug Abuse, Addiction, and the Brain
In this article
Why Do Some People Become Addicted While Others Do Not?
No single factor can predict whether or not a person will become addicted to drugs. Risk for addiction is influenced by a person's biology, social environment, and age or stage of development. The more risk factors an individual has, the greater the chance that taking drugs can lead to addiction. For example:
Biology. The genes that people are born with -- in combination with environmental influences -- account for about half of their addiction vulnerability. Additionally, gender, ethnicity, and the presence of other mental disorders may influence risk for drug abuse and addiction.
Environment. A person's environment includes many different influences -- from family and friends to socioeconomic status and quality of life, in general. Factors such as peer pressure, physical and sexual abuse, stress, and parental involvement can greatly influence the course of drug abuse and addiction in a person's life.
- Development. Genetic and environmental factors interact with critical developmental stages in a person's life to affect addiction vulnerability, and adolescents experience a double challenge. Although taking drugs at any age can lead to addiction, the earlier that drug use begins, the more likely it is to progress to more serious abuse. And because adolescents' brains are still developing in the areas that govern decision making, judgment, and self-control, they are especially prone to risk-taking behaviors, including trying drugs of abuse.
Prevention Is Key
Drug addiction is a preventable disease. Research has shown that prevention programs that involve the family, schools, communities, and the media are effective in reducing drug abuse. Although many events and cultural factors affect drug abuse trends, when youths perceive drug abuse as harmful, they reduce their drug taking. It is necessary, therefore, to help youth and the general public to understand the risks of drug abuse and for teachers, parents, and health care professionals to keep sending the message that drug addiction can be prevented if a person never abuses drugs.

Disclaimer: I'm a relatively novice Xcode programmer writing a simple app for the iPhone.
What would be the best way to upload data to a server which is being stored in multiple models in Core Data?
I was thinking of writing the data to a file and then ftp'ing it to the server. Are there any better solutions to this? I don't strictly have to use FTP, but thought it would be simplier then say uploading via HTTP or using SCP.
Should I stream directly to the FTP server rather then outputing to a file first (if this is even possible)?

Released: Feb 01st, 2004
Running Time: 100
Director: Rafael (I)
Company: All Worlds Video
Cast: Jason Hawke, Justin Wells, Brad Benton, Braeden Casey, Marco Paris, Richard Well, Niko (II), Cameron Fox, Anthony Shaw, Jon Erik, Sledge Sawyer, Barrett Long, Trey Rexx
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gay and Bi
Stock well; large cast of popular dick-owners will create demand.
When party boy Cameron Fox gets his parents' gorgeous house all to himself, he calls in the troops for a lengthy suck-and-fuck-fest by the pool. While the title hints at some heavy rimming, this is a pretty standard five-scene outing with regular butt-munching activity. Fox and Jason Hawke get things started with one of the best encounters-the two have a solid chemistry together. They do some great oral work by the hot tub, and Hawke looks particularly hard and excited. He shoots a nice load on his chest as Fox plows him. Brad Benton, Anthony Shaw and Marco Paris take turns with each other in a decent threeway. Stunning-looking Niko only has a solo. What follows is a six-man scene that starts with Fox lining up his friends' asses and planting his face in their cracks. There are some nice moments (Justin Wells has a great presence and energy, while Sledge Sawyer has a sweet slab of meat), but the action seems a bit too choreographed. Some penetration shots are hot, but extrabutch returning star Jon Erik-and his big dick-don't get enough screen time.

I'm currently using Simple Taxonomies and All-In-One SEO Pack.
My SEO pack does not capture the meta data attached to the taxonomies. To give you two concrete examples:
1) I have a taxonomy page for the term "Johnson", under the taxonomy "People". I want my Meta description to copy the taxonomy description.
2) My normal posts contain a number of taxonomy terms, just like tags. I want the SEO pack to get Meta keywords not only from tags, but also from the taxonomy terms.
Any help on this? Thanks.

Gayton Run 2014
Gayton Village
Sun 01/26/2014
The Northamptonshire village of Gayton sits on top of a hill, overlooking Northampton. The 5k run is a fairly flat route, taking runners through the village of Gayton on quiet, mostly single track roads. The 10k event takes runners from Gayton down single track roads over the Grand Union Canal and railway bridge, with breathtaking views of Northampton. The sting in this run is the Gayton Hill to climb back into the village to join the 5k route back to the finish line.

This move today has now gapped OCZ back above its 50-day moving average of $5.14 with monster volume. Traders should now look to play the next major breakout trade for OCZ. That trade will hit once the stock takes its 200-day moving average of $6.76 with high volume. Traders should look for long-biased trades in OCZ as long as it holds its trend above the 50-day at $5.14, and then once it sustains a move or close over $6.76 with volume that's near or above 2.4 million shares.

GSD Course Bulletin - Spring 2012
This term's information was last refreshed on 12 MAY 2015 14:53:34.
Courses taught by Maryann Thompson
07212: Issues in Architectural Practice and Ethics (PRO 0721200)
Lecture - 4 credits
Monday 2:00 - 5:00 Gund 111
Maryann Thompson, Jay Wickersham
Course Description
This course, for students in the fourth semester of the M.Arch I program, examines basic issues arising in contemporary architectural practice. The course challenges the students to examine critically a broad range of professional, legal, business, and ethical problems that they are likely to face in practice.
Each unit focuses on a case study that describes the actual experience of an architect, including several architects of national and international reputation. The subjects of the cases include: obtaining a commission, controlling construction costs, conflicts between the client and the community, the advantages and disadvantages of specialized practice, new forms of project delivery, monitoring a contractor's performance, working in another country, methods of collaboration, and the impacts of new technology. Several architects whose cases are studied visit the class as guest lecturers.
Each unit contains material to supplement the case study, exposing the student to related topics such as the roles of professional organizations, standard AIA contract forms, government regulation and design review, the economics of practice, architectural competitions, etc. Many units also contain companion exercises that present ethical dilemmas for class discussion, centering on an architect's conflicting duties to clients, the art and craft of architecture, colleagues, and the public.
Course requirements include participation in class discussions, a research paper, and a final exam. All course material is available without charge on the GSD website and in the library.

Let Him Have It
|Release Date:
|January 1, 1991
|Running time:
|115 minutes
|Tom Courtenay, Rebecca Eccleston, Eileen Atkins
|Peter Medak
|Jeremy Thomas

|British Screen
Description: The Derek Bentley Case has been an uneasy blight on the British legal system since the early 1950s. Two young, frightened boys were caught by police trying to break into to a building. One of the boys had a gun. When the policeman reached out to the youth to turn over the gun, his friend shouted Let him have it, and the policeman was killed by a gun blast. Whether the boy understood Let him have it to mean he should turn over the gun or to kill the police officer has been debated ever since. But the result was the 19-year-old boy was executed for the crime -- only to be posthumously exonerated in 1953. In this dark and biting film by Peter Medak, the life of Derek Bentley (Chris Eccleston) that led up to the crime is recreated in pitiful detail, as well as the ensuing trial and execution. The story begins in 1952, when the likable Bentley is released from reform school. Bentley is an impressionable young man who returns home to his loving family -- his parents (Tom Courtenay and Eileen Atkins) and sister (Clare Holman) -- but becomes involved with a group of friends, led by the intimidating Chris (Paul Reynolds), who live in the poverty of post-World War II Britain and escape their bleak world by emulating the American gangster films they see at the local cinema. They play-act at being gansters, but with real guns ... and tragic results.~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

At the Downtown Women's Center's fifth annual spring luncheon on Tuesday, Laurie Dhue, a media advisor, former Fox News Channel anchor and spokeswoman for Minnesota-based Hazelden Treatment Center, described her struggle with alcohol addiction that led her to sobriety six years ago.
Dhue, who spent eight years with Fox, has made a mission of putting a face on addiction.
Dhue described her drinking years as a dark mix of blackouts, an overdose and moments of sleeping in a fetal position at her office while recovering from hangovers.
"The more professional success I enjoyed, the worse my addiction got," she said. "I had external things, but I wasn't living life. I was merely existing. I knew how to package myself, but I couldn't look in the mirror without shame and disgust."
For Dhue, the turning point to her "double life" was her sister's pregnancy, and a desire to become a part of her niece and nephew's lives. Now sober, Dhue and her boyfriend have become foster parents to a 15-year-old boy named Andrew.
"Addiction touches every single family," she said. "Its tentacles reach far and wide, but there is so much joy in recovery."
About 80 percent of the women who complete the two-year recovery program at the Downtown Women's Center are sober five years later, said Abe Lopez, a retired judge and volunteer with the center.
"When you become a victim of substance abuse, not only does it hurt you, but your family, neighbors and community," he said.
Pam Lemons, a manager of Downtown Women's Center's Thrift City 3 who is three years sober, said every dime she had went toward drugs before going into rehab and entering the program at the center.
"The Downtown Women's Center saved my life," she said.

When a server network is configured to re-route HTTP requests through a reverse proxy (e.g. IIS Application Request Routing), $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] contains the reverse proxy server's IP while $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] contains the original client IP and the remote port number that connected to the reverse proxy server.
For example, if the original client address is 18.104.22.168 and the reverse proxy server address is 10.0.0.1, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = '10.0.0.1' and $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] = '188.8.131.52:12345'.
In this case, get_IP() fails to retrieve the original client IP 18.104.22.168 from HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR and returns REMOTE_ADDR 10.0.0.1.
This leads to all visitors showing up as the reverse proxy server IP 10.0.0.1.
The primary source of problem is the following section of the code:
// If http headers exist, use them.
if( $temp_ip != $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] ) {
// Check to make sure the http header is actually an IP address and not some kind of SQL injection attack.
$long = ip2long($this->ip);
// ip2long returns either -1 or FALSE if it is not a valid IP address depending on the PHP version, so check for both.
if($long == -1 || $long === FALSE) {
// If the headers are invalid, use the server variable which should be good always.
$temp_ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
Before this section of code, $temp_ip is initially assigned $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] and assigned to an alternate header value (in this case, HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR) if it exists.
The first if statement in the bugged section checks if an alternate header exists, and if it exists ($temp_ip != REMOTE_ADDR), it attempts to verify the value of the alternate header by using ip2long function.
Note that the alternate header IP address value is contained in $temp_ip, yet the following line checks $this->ip for the header value.
$long = ip2long($this->ip);
Since the value of the alternate header to be verified is contained in $temp_ip and $this->ip is never assigned a value prior to this, this effectively leads to $temp_ip always getting assigned REMOTE_HOST value regardless of what is contained in the alternate header.
This line needs to be modified to:
$long = ip2long($temp_ip);
Another problem is that IIS Application Request Routing reverse proxy implementation provides X-Forwarded-For header in IPADDR:PORT format rather than simple IPADDR format as shown in the description above.
In order to extract the IPADDR from X-Forwarded-For header,
$temp_ip = getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'); should be changed to,
$temp_ip = explode(':', getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'))[0];

Report: Broncos OC McCoy to become Chargers head coach
Reports on Monday indicated that the Arizona Cardinals wanted to interview Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy for a second time.
Not so fast.
It appears the Cardinals will not get a second chance to talk with McCoy.
CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports Tuesday the San Diego Chargers, who spoke with McCoy for the first time the previous day, are about to finalize a deal with the coach.
Chargers are nearing a deal to make Mike McCoy their head coach. Looks like it will be finalized today. More ahead @cbssports
— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) January 15, 2013
McCoy was the only known interview for the Cardinals this week.
As the Cardinals' coaching search enters week three, the team has talked with McCoy, defensive coordinator Ray Horton, Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden and unofficially, Todd Haley, whom the Pittsburgh Steelers said the Cardinals were interviewing.
Gruden, Haley and Horton are all still on the market for a head coaching job.

I keep getting the HP update running on my computer. When trying to install, it cancels a few seconds after starting. I see the latest update is a fix to fix this behavior, but that does not work either... I doubt I am missing much, just sick of getting the pop-up every week.
Figured it out tonight, though I thought I had done it before. Restarted my laptop with everything turned off (gadgets and such) and opened HP Update myself (Start > HP Update). I unselected all but the "Fix Cancelled Install" patch and clicked next. It downloaded the 512K that it needed, and prompted me to install (normally the downloads cancel). I finished the install with the prompts.
I was then able to start HP Update again, and everything seems to be installing without problems.
same as the guy that said it worked.....thats how mine worked....64-bit vista also. i only installed the update fix for the update cancellation (all other update unchecked). when i restarted the hp update after it was installed the update software actually updated so no im (in the world of emoticons) colon capital D
I have trying for weeks to update my HP Update v4.000.012.001, running it on my HP Laptop, 32-bit Vista Ultimate. I selected update to 5.2 version of update and when trying to install, it cancels a few seconds after starting. Any advice will be apreciated
I have had trouble with HP update from time to time. A clean uninstall and reinstall has always seem to fix it. I use Revo Uninstaller to kill the old version, and then get the softpaq that is current for the update.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Florida stands to gain billions of
dollars from the U.S. House's stimulus plan.
The legislation drafted by House Democrats and the Obama
administration was scheduled for a floor vote Wednesday.
The state could get money to help balance its budget, build
highways and bridges, expand mass transit, modernize schools and
improve other government services.
The biggest chunk of Florida money, $4.26 billion, would go to
Medicaid, the state-federal program that provides health care for
the poor.
The Senate, though, is working on a separate plan and any
differences would have to be worked out before a final version can
be sent to President Barack Obama.

Let's be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus. -- Michael Crichton
Dogma -- An authoritative principle, belief, or statement of ideas or opinion, especially one considered to be absolutely true.
Those who dare to question not only those things not questioned are necessary. But to question things which to even dare to question means ostracism should have the highest regard.
The Greek Philosophers had "consensus". If your argument/defense is "but the consensus agrees with me" then you're not talking science.

SEC commissioner Mike Slive hopes to have the future football schedule for the conference set by late-May, he told the Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
Slive and the 14 SEC athletic directors discussed the issue earlier this month in Nashville at the women's basketball tournament and then the following week in New Orleans at the men's tournament.
Here is the question posed and the answer Slive provided regarding the football schedule:
Q: How have the future football scheduling (for 2013 and beyond) meetings progressed with the league's athletic directors?
A: "The First Amendment is alive and well in the SEC. When we put together this year's 2012 schedule including our two new members, time was of the essence. It was very complicated, and I was proud that every athletic director had to give something. It wasn't easy, but in the final analysis, we got it scheduled.
"Looking ahead, each institution is trying to figure out how to protect their interests, but also what's in the best interest of the league to help us maintain the success we've had. Some rivalries have been lost nationwide in expansion, and we value rivalries. Protecting rivalries is something we clearly want to do. Our goal is get the scheduling done before Destin (at the annual SEC spring business meetings in late May)."
Although no public decision has been made yet, it appears that the SEC is favoring keeping an 8-game conference schedule with protected cross-division rivals.
Shortly after the meeting in Nashville, South Carolina president Harris Pastides said that Texas A&M is their "likely" new cross-division rival. A&M president R. Bowen Loftin followed that with the tweet "Just had a great conversation with the South Carolina president about our permanent SEC rivalry."
Keeping the 8-game conference schedule with protected cross-division rivals (6-1-1 format) would allow historical rivalries to continue, such as Auburn-Georgia and Alabama-Tennessee. It could also create a new rivalry with border states Arkansas and Missouri.
If the SEC adopts the 8-game slate and 6-1-1 format going forward, it will take 12 years for each team to play every other team from the opposite division. That is, unless they decide to play each cross-division team in succession rather than home-and-home. Then it would take only six years.
I assume the 6-1-1 schedule football will pan out in the near future,not so sure about 9-game conference schedule.Honestly,I am interested in what does this expansion mean for the college basketball schedules MEN'S & WOMEN'S,assuming new conference alignment in Men's basketball
we will probably not see the two divisions anymore!!!!?
I think the 2-division setup will be used for basketball as well…
Home and away vs divisional opponents (12 games)
+ Home or away vs non-divisional opponents (7 games)
= 19 game conference schedule
So then the non-divisional games will rotate season to season. 4 home/3 away one season, 3 home/4 away the next.
I don't like the idea of having divisions in non-football sports. There are too many cases in basketball, particularly in the SEC East, where one division is so much stronger. There don't need to be divisions.
Kro, if you're saying that there are possibilities where one division could be stronger than the other in a given sport, then why can't that hold true for football? Oh wait, it does! The SEC West is currently stronger than the SEC East in football. But the conference has to believe that tides will change and the strength will balance out or at least shift a bit over time. And that has happened (i.e, Florida in 2008). So the same should hold true in other sports, including basketball.
The difference, Mr. Apples, is that divisions are necessary for a conference to stage a championship game in football. This is not the case with any other team sport. Last year the SEC scrapped the divisional system in basketball to ensure competitive balance, why would they come back to it?
It's true that imbalances between divisions can and will happen in any sport, but a 14-team football conference NEEDS (emphasizing, not shouting) divisions to crown a champion. Basketball and (all?) other non-football sports do not because all or almost all of the teams play each other in the regular season, and then all teams, at least in theory, can win the conference tournament. Divisions are necessary in football mainly because of the comparatively short season. It'd be one thing if one division dominated the other consistently, but (as you mentioned) the pendulum of SEC football shifts between divisions regularly.
That was in response to Mr. Apples. Forgot to hit the reply button.
The sec is still working on the schedule, they have to get all those div 1aa and div2 teams on the home teams schedules, pretty soon they will only play 4 conference games and 8 games against the charlestons states of the world. what a bunch of perverts!
atm i mean tex am switched to sec cause they were tired of losing to big brother and getting blown out by the okies, i remember one year they lost like 77 to 3 !

See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … Btrfs_root
Hey guys and gals, I did my first large contribution to the Arch Wiki. As this is my first article contribution, I need people to critique my work. Basically, did I do it right?
Things you should take a closer look at:
* Are there too many warnings/notes
* Is it necessary to mark sections as unconfirmed?
* A lot of the syslinux stuff is out of date and I don't want to learn syslinux to fix it.
The reasons for the rewrite are noted in the discussion of the article.
I just did a very quick review of your work (comparing it with the old revision), it looks a good improvement of the article! However I didn't test anything, just to make it clear.
I've just fixed some notes/warnings/tips and used Template:Accuracy to mark unconfirmed sections, as a warning is not suited for that purpose.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you.

During the recent 213th meeting of the American Astronomical Society, WWT unleashed a new update. The new features in the Solstice Release, detailed quite nicely in a post on Virtual Earth, An Evangelist's Blog, include stereo 3d – with both red-cyan anaglyph and a side-by-side mode that works very nicely on GeoWalls.
If you haven't heard of a GeoWall, here's a quick explanation, from personal experience in my COSMUS days. A GeoWall is probably the cheapest way of displaying 3d visuals in stereo to an audience as large as a couple of hundred people. It is a computer, a pair of regular projectors, a rack, polarized filters, and a silver screen, and could be put together for less than $10 000 way back in 2005. Audience members wear cheap polarized glasses. Since there are no expensive gizmos doing head tracking, the experience is not limited to one person. The hardware configuration goes by different names in different places, but the basic concept is the same.
WWT tested its stereo mode on the GeoWall in the Space Visualization Lab at the Adler Planetarium & Astronomy Museum in Chicago – our thanks to them! Adler has a couple of GeoWalls in everyday use, and it is surprising that not more institutions and museums use this simple setup.
To get WWT working on a GeoWall, simply choose the side-by-side projection option like this:
To make proper use of this, you'll need to look at a 3d dataset – such as the Solar System mode or Earth or Mars with elevation turned on in Settings.
If you have a pair of red/cyan glasses handy, then have a look at the Anaglyph mode.
And while we do have some 3d tour authoring features on our list of things to do, you can make pretty nice stereo tours (remember, they play back like movies) right now. Lekker, eh?

Existing polyp detection methods rely heavily on curvature-based characteristics to differentiate between lesions. These assume that the discrete triangulated surface mesh or volume closely approximates a smooth continuous surface. However, this is often not the case and because curvature is computed as a local feature and a second-order differential quantity, the presence of noise significantly affects its estimation. For this reason, a more global feature is required to provide an accurate description of the surface at hand. In this paper, a novel method incorporating a local neighborhood around the centroid of a surface patch is proposed. This is done using geodesic rings which accumulate curvature information in a neighborhood around this centroid. This geodesic-ring neighborhood approximates a single smooth, continuous surface upon which curvature and orientation estimation methods can be applied. A new global shape index, S is also introduced and computed. These curvature and orientation values will be used to classify the surface as either a bulbous polyp, ridge-like fold or semiplanar structure. Experimental results show that this method is promising (100% sensitivity, 100% specificity for lesions >;10 mm) for distinguishing between bulbous polyps, folds and planar-like structures in the colon.

Inside Hana's Suitcase
- Studio: Menemsha Films
- Release Date: Apr 18, 2012
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
In the end, what makes Inside Hana's Suitcase so powerful is the most traditional technique of all: authentic and eloquent storytelling by memorable characters.
Although their responses too often seem rehearsed, their innocence is touching and redemptive.
What always feels genuine, movingly so, are the faces of the school children caught up in their account of the unforgotten past.
A documentary saga of heartbreaking concentration-camp horrors, Inside Hana's Suitcase attempts to preserve Holocaust memories through frustratingly fractured means.
It would be odd not to feel something about Hana and the Brady family, but Inside Hana's Suitcase feels more like a historical teaching aid than like a great movie.
A film relating a story of the Holocaust is destined to provoke a number of adjectives, but "cloying" shouldn't be one of them.

About Wednesday Night Heroes
It's been said that in order to be a true Cockney, one has to have grown up within earshot of the Bow Bells -- that is, the church bells of St. Mary le Bow, an historic Christian church that is located on London's working class East End and has been through everything from the Great Fire of London of 1666 to the Nazi bombings of 1941. Wednesday Night Heroes don't live even remotely close to the Bow Bells; they live a continent away in Edmonton, Canada. But the Canadian punk rockers are so mindful of classic British punk that they sound like a group of Cockneys who walk past St. Mary-le-Bow on a regular basis. Although Wednesday Night Heroes didn't get together until the late '90s, their material is totally oblivious to the popular emo sounds of the '90s and 2000s -- they show no awareness of blink-182, Sunny Day Real Estate, Texas Is the Reason, the Promise Ring or any other well-known emo bands. Instead, their loud, boisterous, raucous work is an unapologetic throwback to the old-school British punk and Oi! bands of the late '70s and early '80s; their material recalls an era in which the Clash, the Sex Pistols, Cock Sparrer, Sham 69, the Damned, 999, Generation X and the Buzzcocks ruled the British punk scene and spoke to working class Cockneys in much the same way that early hip-hop spoke to working class African-Americans. But despite having a very British-influenced sound, Wednesday Night Heroes have never pretended to be from the U.K.; actually, their lyrics are full of references to Canadian pride and Canadian patriotism (although lead singer Graeme MacKinnon has insisted that Heroes are not a political band, for the most part). MacKinnon has also stressed that even though a lot of skinheads have been attending their shows in Canada, they are very much against racism; MacKinnon has, in various interviews, emphasized that not every young white male who goes for the skinhead look embraces a racist, bigoted, neo-Nazi ideology.
Along the way, Wednesday Night Heroes have had a few lineup changes; in 2004, the lineup consisted of Graeme MacKinnon on lead vocals, his brother Luke MacKinnon, a.k.a. Luke Manimal, on bass, Konrad Adrelunas (formerly of an Edmonton punk band called Wrekdefy) on guitar and Jay Zazula on drums. Zazula, who is also known in Canadian rock circles for playing with Mad Bomber Society, replaced former Heroes drummer Todd Rocket; Adrelunas replaced former Heroes guitarist Lance the Impaler. In 2001, the Heroes' first full-length album (which was self-titled) was released by Longshot Music, an independent, punk-oriented label that was originally based in Vancouver, Canada but has since relocated to New York City. That CD was followed by "No Regrets for Our Youth" (a 7" vinyl EP) in 2001, and Heroes' second full-length album, Superiority Complex, in 2003. "No Regrets for Our Youth" and Superiority Complex were also released on Longshot Music. ~ Alex Henderson, Rovi
