Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
I replaced the CPU and waited to see if I would get a BSOD. I did get one after about a week of use, and I am attaching the dump if you want to see it. This is a fresh install of Windows after the new CPU.
I ran Prime95 again with both tests. The Large FFT test lasted much longer, lasting 4 hours before I stopped it manually. With Blend, 1 core failed after 1.5 hours and the other ones are still running 2 hours in. Edit: I finished up Blend. The last core failed after ~9 hours. I'm running a longer Large FFT test now. Edit 2: I ran Large FFT for 10 hours with no failures.
Should I go ahead and warranty the motherboard? The new CPU did change the Prime95 results, so maybe both the motherboard and CPU are bad? The PSU is a few years old also, but I haven't had any problems with it before the new hardware.

Windows 7 64-bit
If Large FFTs is working fine and Blend isn't, it means there's a problem with crosstalk between CPU-to-RAM, meaning either the RAM itself is bad or the motherboard.
Concerning the PSU, just remember that PSUs degrade in wattage output during their lifetime, and the rate of degradation varies depending on the quality of the item. If you got a more economy/budget PSU as opposed to a higher priced one, the parts in it are going to be cheap and will degrade faster than higher cost items, as well as has more potential for spontaneous failure. Your PSU may have worked just fine with your previous setup, but the new hardware may be taxing it beyond its current capabilities. That's why a good habit to get into is to purchase a high quality PSU always, and the wattage for such should be around 100-150 watts above what you anticipate the highest load of the system will need. That way the PSU can degrade and still have room left to spare to support any workload thrown at it for a good long while.

Unanswered: No RunApplication is 2010
I created a macro in 2007 to an ArcGIS app. It is gone from 2010. I saw an online answer that said to run this code in a shell:
Dim stAppName As String
stAppName= "c:\full_path\app.exe"
Call Shell(stAppName, 1)
However, I am not very familiar with programming and how or where to put the code. When I go into Run Macro and pick RunCode, it asks for a function name. Do I have to create a function, if so, how, where and how to name ut?

I actually tried to run the code in Access 2010. I went into create macro, Run Code and that's when it asked me for a Function Name. I tried putting the Function Name View_Map and created this code:
Function View_Map()
On Error GoTo View_Map_Err
Call Shell("C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\bin\ArcMap.exe", 1)
Exit Function

I then get an error that it says it cannot find the function View Map. HELP!!

SAN LEANDRO (KRON) — Today San Leandro Police Department released a photo of a black, 2015 Dodge Caravan that they believe was involved in a San Leandro shooting. The shooting happened Thursday on the 300 block of Dowling Blvd., and resulted in a head on collision, and the hospitalization of an elderly couple.
Investigators think this could be a rental vehicle. They are asking rental car agencies across the Bay Area to check for recent returns with gunfire damage to similar-looking vehicles, and also check current rentals for cars that match the description that have not yet been returned.
Around 12:30 p.m. Thursday police got reports of shots fired on MacArthur Blvd. near Interstate 580. Police say it appears a Nissan Altima and an unidentified vehicle (possibly the Dodge Caravan), were firing at each other.
Eventually, the Altima began speeding and crashed head on into a Prius occupied by the elderly couple, according to police. It took immense effort to get the couple out of the car before they were taken to a hospital.
Police also found a man with a gunshot wound outside the Nissan. He was hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries. He was arrested at the hospital in connection with the shooting, as well as reckless driving that resulted in serious injury, police said.
During the initial shootout and crash the two nearby elementary schools, Roosevelt and Washington were on lockdown until police told them it was safe again.
Lt. Robert McManus said the shooting and crash were part of "a violent, vicious attack that doesn't normally happen in this city."
"This was a horrible scene," Lt. McManus said. "The couple in the Prius are innocent victims. They were just driving down the street when they were hit head-on by the Nissan Altima involved in rolling gun battle with others that got away. This should never have happened."
Anyone who recognizes this car, or has other information about the incident can make an anonymous report at (510) 577-3278, or via text message by texting "TipSLPolice" to 888777.

Even Here, There Is Adoption
And so, I have returned home. Well, I guess you could call this home. I was born in Richmond, Virginia, but my mother had no ties there. She was sent there, hours away from her home in Wilmington, North Carolina, so that she could give birth to me and then give me to strangers. I was supposed to be born in Wilmington and it felt really weird once, when I was at my mom's house, looking at a picture of the hospital where my half-sister, born almost three years after me, was born. I was supposed to have been born there, but I realized, looking at that picture, that even knowing where my mom and the rest of my natural family were would not heal the pain of being separated from her. Just as I could never be physically born again in this life, I could also never recapture all the years lost from being separated from my parents. Adoption results in an emotional pain that the non-adopted never have to deal with.
This pain makes throws some people into denial, as it did me for many years. A number of adoptees, and even some moms who've lost a child to adoption, have chastised me for expressing my feelings, and for stating the obvious: breaking up families through adoption gives an emotional pain that can never heal. What really gets to me is that so many adoptees have written about that pain and yet, they can't seem to help but end by saying that adoption can be beautiful. Yes, like rape can be beautiful, I suppose. What can be more lovely than taking away an infant poised to nurse his or her mother's breasts, an infant just born, an infant used to the smell of his or her mother, and give the child to genetic strangers. Lovely, isn't it?
Yes, many Bible thumpers claim that they are saving a child from being thrown into the dumpster or whatever, but that claim is simply not true. Bible thumpers often love to tell the story of Moses and use that to justify taking another woman's child. But as my loyal reader Jim stated previously in a blog comment, the next time I see a baby floating down the river, I'll consider it okay to take it.
Many attempts are made these days to make adoption seem as though it were saving a baby from floating down the river. The China system is currently the absolute best to promote this mythology. In the 70s, after Roe vs. Wade, the agencies that supply infants saw their supply beginning to drop. They began marketing the U.S. in Korea, Vietnam, and other countries that had vulnerable populations. They told the moms that their children would have a much better life in the fabulous U.S. of A. and the moms, often desperate, believed them and sent their children with social wreckers. I wonder how many of those social workers, sent specifically to find children for Western adopters, gave money to the mother and family and tried to keep the children with their families.
Adoption agencies must have been having orgasms when the whole China thing came down. I'm not exactly sure when China started its ridiculous one-child policy, searching for diapers and other evidence of more than one child, even in remote rural areas. Whenever it was, the adoption agencies really scored. Children came into orphanages, creating a need for somebody to take these supposed orphans and give them a home. Westerners began adopting them and it became a status symbol of sorts to have a little China girl in a home. Don't believe me? Ask Angelina Jolie, who, even though she has no China doll, has a whole rainbow of children under her roof.
I can't tell you how many Gymboree and MyGym classes I've sat through in L.A. with some white adoptress pretending to be the mom of one of these little China girls. As to why they're often girls, it's because the Chinese culture so reveres males, and males are to help with parents in old age, that the girls are most expendable. I guess most Westerners think that moms in China have no feelings or that they easily take their children to the orphanage. Whatever the case, most Western adopters these days are as happy to have a China doll as they are to grab a healthy white infant from a teenage mom. The latter is in low supply, however, partly due to the fact that many moms who have lost a child to adoption are telling it like it is and talking about the loss of adoption, a loss from which mother and child can never fully recover.
And now, here I sit in the library of the small town in northwestern North Carolina where I grew up. It is not Wilmington, where most of the rest of my family resides, and where the Smiths, from whence I came, are known for our blue eyes. One of the reasons I am back here right now is because I want my children to experience the genuineness and honesty of most people here. As I sit in the library, however, I watch an adoptress who has taken a China doll as her own. I watch the child call the adoptress, who looks nothing like her, "mama." And I think about how much this child has suffered in her few short years on earth. More than likely, the little girl will not grow up knowing her native Chinese language and more than likely, she will not ever find her mother and father. To take their place, she will most likely create an elaborate scheme of lies, started when her adopters began calling her their "daughter" and asked them to call her "mama" and "daddy." Do you really think that China will change anything when Western adopters are spending so much money to take away the children that the government will not allow? Do you really think that God wants us messing with nature this way?
More importantly, however, I wonder what this kind of thing is doing to this child. And to the other children taken away from the native land and families by Westerners envious of children. I know that not all adopters feel this way (there are posts much earlier in this blog about an adoptress who is trying to teach her China girls the truth), but most do. Each time I looked in the mirror, I wondered who I looked like. Imagine how much more complex this process is when the child is not even the same nationality as the adopters. My guess is that the little China girl in the library today will have to fill herself with lies for the rest of her life to overcome the pain of what has happened to her and to cover for the lies that she has already been living with. She will probably never ever find the truth, as most families take these children to the orphanages anonymously. She probably will never know her family. To say that this kind of life, filled with life, will never affect her is to be in great denial. Then again, adoption is all about denial, isn't it?!?
Even here, in this relatively quiet town, there exists the ugliness of adoption, the lies created when family members are separated by do-gooder social wreckers, the pretending that I grew up with, the empty hole that is never filled when one loses his or her family. Adoption has touched every corner of our nation, from the suburbs of Los Angeles to the small mountain towns of North Carolina. Its ubiquitousness is nothing to brag about.

Economists remain modestly optimistic about the short-term outlook for housing construction in Australia despite a significant monthly fall in building approvals.
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the number of dwelling units approved for construction dropped 4.7 per cent in August to come in at 13,687.
While the statistically volatile multi-residential sector led the decline, dropping 6.5 per cent, approvals for the more stable detached housing sector also contracted by 1.6 per cent – albeit with the latest numbers following a sharp rise in new home sales during the month.
Compared with the same period last year, however, approval numbers are up 7.7 per cent, with the recently resurgent detached housing sector up 10.3 per cent and multi-residential up a more modest 3.2 per cent.
Moreover, building industry economists remain modestly optimistic about the sector's near-term prospects.
"The monthly volatility masks a positive but weakening trend, highlighting the frustratingly weak housing recovery," Master Builders Australia chief economist Peter Jones said. "But despite the slow response of home-buyers to low rates, we are hopeful the stimulatory effect on residential building and the confidence of home-buyers will strengthen in coming months."
Housing Industry Association chief economist Harley Dale says there has been a trend increase in approvals underpinned by a combination of low interest rates, redirected policies regarding first home owner buying policies and some renewed growth in existing property prices in Sydney and Perth.
He warns, however, that the geographical base of that recovery remains narrow and that 'incessant ranting' about a 'fictitious house price bubble' risks derailing the influence of the aforementioned effect of upward pricing momentum.
"Building approvals are continuing to trend higher in New South Wales and Western Australia, but supply side constraints look like capping the recovery in these markets in 2014. Net these two markets out and approvals are as flat as a tack," he says.
Both Jones and Dale renewed calls for further policy action to boost housing supply by addressing supply side impediments to new construction.
In terms of states, New South Wales was the best performer, recording a seasonally adjusted increase of 10.6 per cent followed by Australian Capital Territory (up 2.3 per cent) and the Northern Territory (up 1.3 per cent).
Approvals fell, however, by 8.7 per cent in Western Australia, 6.6 per cent in Tasmania, 6.2 per cent in Victoria, 0.4 per cent in South Australia and 0.2 per cent in Queensland.
The increase in NSW makes sense – the housing market there is already far too constrained.
An extraordinary nexus of extremely low interest rates and depressed housing and construction starts. The cost of aquiring land and the risks associated wit h construction see new buyers preferring existing properties. As it often takes many months to prepare for constructing a building, approvals, design and consultants. The cost of council head charges, stamp duty and other charges should be reviewed. The construction industry is a real and palpable danger to the Australian economy. The huge up front costs for any building work have squeezed the new and smaller players and concentrated activity in larger firms..Whilst activity is cyclical, outside of the mining sector, construction has been on its knees for four years.

It's hard to believe that only a year ago, Austin Romine went unclaimed on waivers and seemed to be nearing the end of his time with the Yankees. Heck, it was only seven months ago that he looked like a candidate to lose his 40-man roster spot whenever the Yankees needed room. Romine's time in the organization was about to come to an end after nine seasons.
Except it didn't come to an end. The Yankees managed to hang on to Romine over the winter and he came to Spring Training as a backup catcher candidate. No one seemed to think he would actually win the job after Gary Sanchez's monster 2015 season, but the Yankees insisted he was in the mix, and eventually he did indeed win the job. Sanchez struggled in camp, Romine raked, and that was that.
"There was a lot of talk that (Sanchez would) be the backup, and we were encouraged with how he played last year, but it's probably a guy trying too hard and trying to do too much," said Joe Girardi last week when asked about Sanchez's spring. "That happens all the time. The key is that you learn from that — like an Austin Romine did — and that you just go out and relax and be yourself."
Six weeks into the regular season, it's hard to think that decision could have worked out any better. The 27-year-old Romine is hitting .303/.324/.424 (104 wRC+) in limited time as Brian McCann's backup while Sanchez remains in Triple-A, playing every day to continue his development, especially defensively. Sanchez owns a .297/.345/.550 (163 wRC+) batting line with the RailRiders.
We spent so much time talking about keeping Sanchez down in the minors long enough to delay his free agency. Thirty-five days. That was the magic number. Thirty-five days in the minors in 2016 meant team control of Sanchez's age 29 season in 2022. That's a very long way off and no one has any idea what will happen between now and then, but 35 days? It was worth keeping Sanchez in the minors that long this year to gain that extra year of control.
Those 35 days have come and gone, and Romine has not given the Yankees a reason to make a change at backup catcher. On day 33 Romine went 3-for-4 with two doubles against David Price and the Red Sox while leading Nathan Eovaldi through eight innings of two-run ball. A few days later he started at DH because he's been hitting so well. Romine was going to have to hit to keep his job. He's credited his success to a change in his mental approach.
"I went home in the offseason and said I'm done not doing the best that I can," he said to Laura Albanese last week. "You get passed up (for a job) by another catcher … It just makes me step back and realize what I needed to do, and that was hit. It comes down to the same thing. I've got to hit. I've got to show them I can hit up here, show them I can hit off big league pitchers and continue to show them I can catch."
Romine has hit well and he has seemed to work well with the pitching staff, so much so that he's essentially become Eovaldi's personal catcher. The hitting success very well might be small sample size noise. That stuff happens. But Romine was going to have to hit in Spring Training to win a job and hit early in the regular season to keep that job, and he did just that. This is one of those cases where a small sample means a whole lot.
"Just being able to slow the game (down)," said Romine to Chad Jennings when asked what has made him successful this year. "I've been here. I've been in this situation before. I know how to prepare for hitting every four, five days. Being the backup catcher you get to play once a series, maybe. Being able to prepare myself to hit, going on a couple days now, it's a hard thing to do. But it's just being able to slow the game down."
So now, with Romine emerging as serviceable backup catcher (if not more) rather than settling in a stopgap, the Yankees have some options. First and foremost, they have the option to remain patient with Sanchez and leave him in Triple-A. Not for service time reasons, but for developmental reasons. Sanchez is still only 23, remember. He's 23 and still in need of refinement behind the plate. He can play everyday in Triple-A and work on things.
Also, Romine's combination of strong play, cheap salary ($556,000), and years of team control (through 2019) means he may have some actual trade value. A year ago this guy slipped though waivers unclaimed. Any team could have had him and they all passed. Now, a year later, Romine is a productive big leaguer who seems to have turned a corner with his mental approach and preparation. And it helps that he plays the most premium position of all.
The Yankees have made a habit of trading backup catchers in recent years. They sent Chris Stewart to the Pirates for Kyle Haynes two years ago, Francisco Cervelli to the Pirates for Justin Wilson one year ago, and this past winter John Ryan Murphy went to the Twins for Aaron Hicks. Can Romine bring back a Wilson or a Hicks in a trade? Nah, probably not. Cervelli was an established big league backup catcher and Murphy had a full year as a productive backup to his credit and is three years younger.
Romine for all we know is a guy who just had the six best weeks of his career. He's appeared in 15 games and has 35 plate appearances. That's it. I do buy his change in approach because he does look different at the plate. Romine is swinging at way fewer pitches out of the zone this year than he did in 2013 (36.3% to 31.4%), his only other extended trial in MLB, and his hard contact rate is up too (29.4% to 37.0%). For the first time, he looks like someone who knows he belongs.
For now, Romine has performed better than anyone could have reasonably hoped in the early going this season, and that's great news for the Yankees. I get that people are eager to see Sanchez, I am too, but Romine has given the Yankees no reason to make a change. Two quality backup catchers is better than one, after all. At some point the Yankees will have to pick between the two. Right now they can be patient. There's no urgency to make a decision because Romine had made himself in an asset.

The O'Jays: Eddie Levert, Walter Williams, William Powell (vocals).
Additional personnel: Anthony Jackson (bass); MFSB.
Producers: Kenneth Gamble, Leon Huff, Bobby Martin.
Principally recorded at Sigma Sound Studios, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
in 1973. Originally released on Philadelphia International (32408). Includes liner notes by Joe McEwen, Bobby Martin.
This is part of Legacy's "Rhythm & Soul" series.
The once monolithic Motown Sound had begun to fragment in the early '70s, and into the breach came Philadelphia International, the label run by genius producers/songwriters Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. Their stable of artists basically ruled the radio and the nation's dance floors in the middle of the decade, and the O'Jays were probably their classiest act.
This 1973 album is one of the group's absolute best. It's a genuine landmark of the genre, a brilliantly arranged and sung effort offering a fascinating look at a sadly vanished era. Here, socially conscious music such as "For the Love of Money" and "Don't Call Me Brother" co-exists with party anthems like "Put Your Hands Together," and conceptual masterstrokes like the nautical sound effects on the title track.

hello, friends! i am making a last minute switch in today's advent in the heart and home post. my thursday guest - fresh from adventures in south africa - will be sharing tomorrow. instead, i would like to share my original post from the beginning of the series when ruth and i swapped spots.
Our family has been slowly grasping more and more over the years about how we can prepare our hearts and home with more intention during Advent. The purpose has not been to rush into traditions that won't have follow-through or decorations thrown together on a deadline. This is a season of preparing and waiting.
Our newest addition to Advent is the candle wreath pictured above. It is a beautifully crafted piece, that allows us to visually follow Mary's journey as we wait for the birth of her son - the Son.
Here's a glimpse of our simple and sweet mantle.
On it sits our Jesse Tree. Our family is using Ann Voskamp's free Jesse Tree Advent Celebration for a second year. (In fact, I had never even heard of a Jesse Tree until last November.) Each evening we warm up a pot of hot chocolate, light the candles, sit in front of the fireplace and listen to the day's reading. The ornaments (which were hand drawn by our oldest in imitation of Ann's and then embroidered on felt by me) are hung. We simply snagged a fallen branch from the backyard and placed it in a vase filled with cranberries
Another way we count down the days in December is through our Advent calendar hung on the dining room wall. Each paper cone is stamped with the day and filled with fun craft activities, ways to serve friends, family, and the community, as well as a devotional reading for the morning. This reading coordinates with our evening reading in a way I find compelling and relevant.
Two points I want to make about Advent Calendars, seeing as they are SO popular at the moment.
1. I don't pre-stuff my cones at the beginning of the month. Instead, I determine the night before what would best serve our family the following day. There is a list of ideas to refer to as well as a schedule of what is happening in the community.
2. Keep it simple. If all you want to do is watch Charlie Brown Christmas at night with a bowl of popcorn, that is great! The point is to spend time as a family and foster a joyful atmosphere with purpose.
This year, we made cinnamon dough ornaments as a family. The house smelled amazing! I used the remaining bits of dough to cut out these flowers and plan on making a hanging for the kitchen window.
Great-grandma supplies the chocolate calendars.
Each year, we give our littles a special ornament on Christmas eve. It is such a treat watching them unpack their collections when trimming the tree.
The Playmobil Nativity Set is in constant use. The girlie calls it "playing Jesus".
I am not trying to be controversial (as I know this tends to be a touchy subject), but our family has chosen to not "do" Santa. I will say that there is no less magic to our celebration without him.
Christmas morning is for reading from Luke and digging through stockings. French toast casserole is baked and devoured. Presents from far-away family are opened. The gifts we carefully picked out or made are finally revealed and enjoyed.
One of our favorite gifts to give and receive come from the Samaritans's Purse Christmad Gift Catalog. The littles pick out gifts for their siblings and extended family. We choose a special Mama & Papi gift for each of them.
I would also like to put in a plug for the Jesus Storybook Bible by Sally Lloyd-Jones. We gave this to our children last Christmas and it has completely brought home the idea to our entire family (not just the littles!) that the entire Bible points to Christ. That every story "whispers His name" indeed. This season of Advent is just another way for us to remember that Creation has always been waiting for our Savior.
Lastly, I'd like to speak for both Ruth and I that the intent behind this post - all of these posts - is not to compare your own traditions and celebrations with others. Advent looks different for everyone and in no way did our family take on all of these in one year. If you are inspired by what you read during this series, take time to decide and get ready for next year. Don't feel the need to rush and live up to someone else's plans. Prepare your family in a way that opens hearts and home to Him.
We are waiting.
He is coming!

We can't fight fire on your property if we can't access your property! Fire appliances are large trucks. Keep your driveways & access tracks clear of low branches, tight corners & other obstacles.
Bushfire Damage Reduction
You can make your buildings highly resistant to bushfire damage. Controlling the amount, type,
and arrangement of fuel around your buildings reduces the heat loads they need to withstand.
Closing or screening gaps into floor, roof & wall cavities, plus gaps around doors & windows
will keep embers out. A well-prepared building, in a carefully fuel-managed area, should
provide safe refuge for people & belongings in all but the most extreme of bush-fires.

More about Cherry Gardens - CFS
Cherry Gardens Brigade was formed in 1934. It is one of the oldest of around
430 South Australian Country Fire Service brigades.
Brigade members are all volunteers, and have widely varied "real" lives, trades,
professions & backgrounds. The Brigade needs around 30 members to operate
effectively around the clock.
The Brigade can respond to any type of fire, as well as hazardous material incidents &
road crashes. We may also be turned-out to assist other emergency services in general
search & rescue, storm damage operations, or any other emergencies as required.
Turn-outs are by pager and station siren, usually in response to emergency "000" calls.
Cherry Gardens CFS also operates a fire bombing airstrip on SA Water
land off Frith Rd. .
Brigade members are supplied with all their protective equipment and
training at little or no personal cost. Fire fighters must have completed at
least a Basic Fire Fighter course before they can respond to any turn-outs.
We strongly encourage members to do further training such as advanced
fire-fighting, First Aid, and specialist technical courses as & when they are
available. We train each Monday night, 7:30—10:00pm
Being a volunteer fire-fighter doesn't suit everyone, but it is an extremely rewarding avenue of
community service. CFS volunteers build strong friendships while making a real and immediate
difference to the lives of others. You are welcome to come and try us for 'fit'.
We sincerely hope you settle in quickly and enjoy the Hills Community Lifestyle

Unanswered: No error thrown to jconnect when stored proc fails
Hi, first time poster.
I am connecting up to ASA 7.0.4 (2789) using jconnect and executing the following:
int newid = -1;
conn = this.getConnection();
stmt = conn.createStatement();
Log.logMessage("[Start] calling stored proc:\n" + sp.toString());
rs = stmt.executeQuery(sp.toString());
Log.logMessage("[End] calling stored proc:\n" + sp.toString());
if (rs.getInt("SP_STATUS") != 1) {
throw new DataDispatchSaveException("Stored procedure: " + sp.toString() + "returned an error code in SP_STATUS");
} else {
//the value of the id for this newly inserted record
//in the stored proc, this is returned as @@identity after the insert statement executes
newid = rs.getInt("order_id");
Now, the actual stored procedure call I am doing on the line that reads rs = stmt.executeQuery(sp.toString()); is:
execute save_purchaseorder @status='New',@templateid=167,@storeid=62,@vendori d=274033,@promocode='00000',@createdby='CT',@updat edby='CT',@statuschangereason='Some Reason'
Here is my problem, if I copy and paste that line into dbisql and execute it, I get the error stated in the attached image.
However, when the java code above executes that statement, no error is reported!!! In fact, one of the fields passed back from the stored proc is the value of the identity field generated by the DB after the insert from within that stored proc executed, and it does actually pass back the value as if the record was inserted into the row without error.
However, this is not the case!
Anyway I can make sure I get errors back from jconnect the same way isql is reporting the failure?

Skinny, blonde, and possessing a charmingly crooked Pepsodent smile, she has repeatedly demonstrated her talent and charisma in projects ranging from kiddie comedies to high school romances to towering summer blockbusters.Born in Point Pleasant, NJ, on April 30, 1982, Dunst first appeared in front of a camera at the age of three, when she became a Ford model and commercial actor. She continued to model and do commercials until 1989, when she made her film debut in Woody Allen's New York Stories. Her uncredited role led to a part as Tom Hanks' daughter in the infamously troubled 1990 adaptation of Tom Wolfe's The Bonfire of the Vanities.Three years later, Dunst got her first big break when director Neil Jordan chose her over 5,000 hopefuls for the role of Claudia, the child vampire in his 1994 adaptation of Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire. Dunst made a big impact on audiences and critics alike with her portrayal of a woman trapped eternally in the body of an 11-year-old, kissing co-star Brad Pitt, and gorging herself on human and animal blood. That same year, Dunst also appeared alongside Winona Ryder and Susan Sarandon in Gillian Armstrong's adaptation of Little Women; the combined success of these two movies propelled Dunst to the top of the child-actor hierarchy, in terms of both bankability and exposure.Dunst followed up with a lead role in the Robin Williams action-fantasy Jumanji (1995), and lent her voice to a few animated features, including Disney's Anastasia (1997). She also had a brief but memorable turn as a refugee from a war-torn country in Barry Levinson's highly praised satire Wag the Dog (1997).1999 marked a turning point in Dunst's career, as she began appearing in films that cast her as a young woman instead of a precocious child. She starred as a small-town beauty queen contestant in the satirical comedy Drop Dead Gorgeous and as one of two teenage girls (the other played by Michelle Williams) who unwittingly uncover the Watergate scandal in Dick, another satirical comedy. Dunst further lived up to her title as one of Teen People's 21 Hottest Stars Under 21 with her leading role as the sexually rebellious Lux in Sofia Coppola's acclaimed adaptation of Jeffrey Eugenides' novel The Virgin Suicides (1999). Her work in the film proved to be a critical breakthrough for Dunst, whom critics praised for her portrayal of the conflicted, headstrong character.Dunst subsequently did her bit for the high school comedy-romance genre, starring as a cheerleader in Bring It On (2000), and as another teen queen in Get Over It (2001); she also forsake makeup and a hairdresser for her role as the archetypal poor little rich girl in crazy/beautiful (2001), a teen romantic drama.Subsequently cast as the actress Marion Davies in Peter Bogdanovich's The Cat's Meow, Dunst got her first shot at playing a grown woman. She garnered praise for her work in the period drama, but any notice she received was quickly eclipsed by the maelstrom of publicity surrounding her starring role as Mary Jane Watson, true love of Peter Parker in Sam Raimi's big-budget adaptation of Spider-Man. Playing opposite Tobey Maguire as the web-spinning superhero, Dunst spent a lot of the movie running around as a damsel in distress, but there was nothing distressing about the 110-million dollars the film grossed in its opening weekend, breaking new box-office records and catapulting both Dunst and Maguire into the rarefied realm of full-fledged movie stars. She would stick with the franchise as it became a trilogy, and she became a bigger star than ever before.Even though Spider-Man gave her a great deal of box-office clout, Dunst would continue to appear in more independent minded films as the years wore on as well. While appearing in films like Mona Lisa Smile and Elizabethtown, Dunst would also earn accolades

Sune Wendleboe is a mad keen Danish paddler living in Oslo, Norway; he's owned 16 surfskis in the 6 years he's been paddling! He's just had the opportunity to try out no fewer than four of the latest, fastest elite level surfskis from around the world. Here's what he found.
[Editor: Author Erik Borgnes recently took delivery of two of Epic Kayaks latest surfskis: a V14 in the Ultra layup and a "New V10" in the sexy black Elite layup. I asked him to give us his impressions of the new skis - it's a great read!]
Know this: I'm a member of Epic's regional racing team and I'm partial to how Epic's skis fit and perform. Although I have paddled and owned Fenns and Thinks in the past, my intention in this article is not to make a comparison between brands but to introduce and parse out the differences between two of Epic's latest offerings.

A CONTROVERSIAL shake-up of school funding is set to go ahead, with an extra £1.3bn announced to soften the blow.
The Government has announced it will plough ahead with plans for a new national funding formula, which campaigners claimed could cost Oxfordshire schools almost £30m the coming years.
Education Secretary Justine Greening made the announcement in the House of Commons today, noting the current funding system was 'unfair, opaque and out-of-date'.
She said: "The additional funding I'm setting out today, together with the introduction of a national funding formula, will provide schools with the investment they need to offer a world-class education to every single child."
A fresh pot of £1.3bn has been created from savings made elsewhere in the Department of Education, to be split between schools in the first two years of the new formula.
The cash is designed to support schools during the transition period.
Schools are expected to learn in September how much extra they will get, but Ms Greening insisted the 'historic reform' will mean more cash per pupil.
A group called Fair Funding for All Schools Oxfordshire was set up earlier this year, to campaign against the plans for a new formula.
It predicted the plan could cost Oxfordshire schools up to £30m, but has not yet made an updated projection.
The funding formula remains set to come into effect in September 2018, with the transition period to last until 2020.

I live in Texas, so I'm no real help to you when it comes to what to plant. However, when I first moved to Texas, I had no clue what would do well in my veggie garden. I found a local nursery (not one of those big box places), and asked them for advice about planting. Many small nurseries put together guides for different seasons, telling you what to plant and when to plant it.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
Cool season veggies include salad greens, cabbages, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, chard, onions, beets, and carrots,& pea varieties. The use of cold frames or row covers will give young seedlings more protection from frost.

It's considered to be one of the most dangerous places for a United States citizen to travel to right now, but for Larry Kindbom there was never any hesitation. He was going to Iraq.
"I felt that I was called to go over there," said Kindbom. "So, I really wasn't nervous and didn't — even in those situations — get nervous. Just more in awe of what's going on in this world. It was just different."
His eyes were quickly opened to a world that's full of turmoil. Where the destruction of ISIS was everywhere he turned.
"We actually drove through an area that just weeks before had been occupied by ISIS," added Kindbom.
As Washington University's head football coach, Kindbom's players inspire him by not just what they do on the field, but off it. They travel the world. They embrace different cultures. Now, it was his time.
"As we're talking we can hear bombs in the background and it was almost surreal," he said.
A devoted follower of Christ, Kindbom's faith led him to embark on a seven-day mission trip through Iraq, where he visited up to ten different refugee camps.
"These are people just like you and me. They had a house. They were working. Then all of the sudden one day it was like, 'Get out of the area' because here comes ISIS."
He immersed himself in their culture. He listened. Showed compassion. And spoke the universal language of love that everyone understands, which is known as kindness.
"I'm not in to labeling races, or gender, and part of that is because when you play sports nobody cares," said Kindbom.
And when kindness wasn't enough to conquer the language barrier, you know what was? Football.
"A lot of them had never even seen football before," said Kindbom. "But they knew there was some way that they were going to be able to communicate with me and me them, and how awesome is that to be able to go into that kind of thing?"

The Vancouver Canucks could not count on another low-scoring game Friday night to help them get out of their doldrums.
Justin Fontaine's shootout goal gave the Minnesota Wild a 2-1 win over Vancouver in a game in which the Canucks had no shortage of chances.
But unlike in their 1-0 win over St. Louis two nights earlier, the Canucks could not rely on goaltending to help them eke out a win. Fontaine, Minnesota's seventh shooter, went wide on Canucks goaltender Eddie Lack and slid the puck under him.
"I thought we played good enough to win," said Lack, adding the Canucks had strong second and third periods.
The Wild (33-21-7) posted their fourth straight win, while the Canucks (28-24-10) suffered their eighth loss in the past nine games. With the point for the shootout loss, Vancouver still managed to move into a tie for eighth place in the Western Conference with Dallas. But the Canucks now trail the seventh-place Wild by seven points.
"We've just gotta squeeze out those 1-0 (and) 2-0 nights," said Lack.
Wild rookie goaltender Darcy Kuemper preserved the win by denying Vancouver's final shooter, David Booth, as he attempted a spin-o-rama shot. It was Wild's second win in two nights following the NHL season's Olympic hiatus for Kuemper, a 23-year-old Saskatoon native.
"Things were going really good before the break, so sometimes you want to keep going," he said. "But all of a sudden, you have a three-week hiatus. But it was good to refresh mentally, and it looks like we are picking right up where we left off."
Kuemper improved his record to 10-3-2. Both he and Lack entered the game after posting shutouts in the one before.
"Me personally, my confidence is high, and the team is playing great in front of me," said Kuemper. "So that helps you feel good about yourself."
The Canucks have only scored five goals in their past six games, but coach John Tortorella had no complaints after his team gained its third of four possible post-Olympic points heading into Sunday's Heritage Classic against the Ottawa Senators at B.C. Place Stadium.
"I'm really excited about some of the structure that we have in our game," said Tortorella, adding it must continue.
The Canucks controlled play in the second and third periods. The Wild's second shot of the third period came with only 2:59 left.
"We had chances and we didn't score and we didn't get it done in the shootout, but we can't be negative about it," said Tortorella.
The Wild scored on one of three power plays while the Canucks were blanked on two, but tallied while shorthanded.
Vancouver's Ryan Kesler and Minnesota's Zach Parise exchanged first-period goals.
Kesler, who missed Thursday's win over St. Louis with a hand injury and has been the subject of trade speculation, opened the scoring 5:19 into the game while the Canucks were shorthanded. After Chris Higgins forced a turnover just outside the Vancouver blue-line, Kesler raced down left wing and beat Kuemper with a high shot.
The goal came while Daniel Sedin was serving a hooking penalty.
Minnesota had a goal by former Canucks defenceman Keith Ballard disallowed as officials ruled Mikael Granlund interfered with Lack, but no penalty was necessary.
Parise evened the score just under nine minutes later as he beat a heavily screened Lack from the slot. The Wild sniper put the puck between Canuck defenceman Alex Edler and teammate Dany Heatley's jerseys as they stood in front of the net.
The Canucks outshot the Wild 11-6 in the second period, but could not beat a steady Kuemper, who made his 14th consecutive start while filling in for regulars Niklas Backstrom, who dressed as the backup as he continued to recover from an abdominal injury, and Josh Harding (illness).
Early in the third period, in which the Canucks outshot the Wild 9-3, he robbed Kesler while sprawled on his belly. After Kesler picked up the puck, cut in front of the goalmouth and sent a backhand toward the net, Kuemper lifted his right leg and kicked the disk out.
The Canucks received a rare power play 1:27 into the extra session as Parise was penalized for boarding Chris Tanev.
In the shootout, Vancouver's Chris Higgins had Kuemper down and out after a deke, but hit the post on his club's final shot of the regulation portion.
"At the end of the day, we've gotta produce," said Kesler, who failed to score on Vancouver's sixth shootout attempt. "All those shootouts in practice aren't working, I guess. We've gotta figure out something else."

Besides the fact that the cloud is part of the joke and that they are ever-malleable to make into giant middle finngers, the cloud is also in the cartoon, as God, to symbolize the fact that God clouds the minds and muddles the judgement of the Christian base.

|Anymore louder and the World would go deaf: Shoes symbolizing the walk and stepping up for the climate and with Mother Nature in Paris, France during the Paris Climate Agreement
By now the whole world has heard that the United States, a country that has long billed itself as "the leader of the world" has refused to accept the Paris Climate Agreement. The Paris Climate Agreement is one of the largest signed environmental documents in recent years. Every country in the world including China and North Korea has committed themselves to reducing CO2 emissions, promoting and expanding on clean energy from solar power, hydropower, wind and thermal as well as reducing 1.5 degree rise in sea levels that is the breaking point for irrevisaible climate change including sea level rise. The U.S. along side Syria and Nicaragua didn't ratify the Paris Agreement. Nicaragua's reasoning for not acception was it didn't go far enough in covering every part of the environment. Syria's absence is self explanatory: it's warzone. Even ExxonMobil, Rex Tillerson's recent employer agrees with helping to reduce climate change and have been investing in cleaning energy for a few years now. Other Petroleum giants of the world have been slowly but surely turning to solar power as one of many solutions for electricity and infrastructure. Everyone knows that petroleum can't last forever, even as the oil prices dip and that coal has been dying as an energy source for decades.
It should come as no surprise. Considering Trump's anti-environment and climate denying statements, attitudes and policies. At least he heard the argument on behalf of protecting the environment. This is not the first time the United States has refused to ratify international environmental agreements at the expense of Mother Earth. The United States famously refused to ratify the Kyoto Protocol in 1997. It went into affect in 2005. Like its current counterpart, the Kyoto Protocol emphasized the importance and urgency for the world to work together to halt the rise and spread of rising sea levels, coastal erosions, Co2 emissions and international cooperation in reducing waste. The U.S. is quick to point a finger at China for environmental damages and contamination. However, the U.S. still comes in second for pollution and exporting electronic waste to Ghana and Pakistan, sea pollution and wasting millions of pound in food and oil which again leads to pollution. The United States itself has witnessed unusual environmental destruction and temperatures ranging from early hurricane seasons, annual forest fires across the West Coast, Southern states, mountain top removal in West Virginia, coastal erosion in Florida and New York City and State with Hurricane Sandy, Mathew and others. Despite having a strong environmental movement, the U.S. presidents have a history of turning their backs and middle fingers to Mother Nature. Trump is no different. Coincidentally, while Trump was on his overseas visit last week in the Middle East and Vatician City, a small but noticable sinkhole appeared in front of his Mar a Lago estate in Palm Beach, FL. It was quickly taken care of by maintaince workers. It is a lesson in not messing with or trying to overpower Mother Nature. She has her own unique and ironic way of delivering karmic warnings to climate disbelievers and anti-environmental people.
Antarctica's ancient ice is breaking up
Adelie Penguins, the playful joksters of Antarctica
Early this week as if on cue, Antarctica's Larsen C Ice shelf further cracked on the verge of becoming the largest iceberg recorded. The crack has been growing 11 miles in less than 6 days. Antarctica (Antartida), long stereotyped as the coldest place on Earth alongside the Artic Circle has itself been melting gradually and getting warm. Especially East Antarctica's coast and its surrounding islands have broken up into chunks. It still has its ancient and beautiful icebergs, random waterfalls, subturrean ice caves, nunataqs, and sea life as well as its penguin population. But the seventh continent's ice continues to collapse at Antarctic Peninsula where Argentina has claimed as part of Tierra del Fuego province and has its scientific bases. Greenland has been experiencing similar climate events where it has lost more of its famed ice covered landscape than in previous years. The "indigenous population" of Antarctic are mostly penguins: Adelies are one of the largest at 2 million around the continent, Emperor, King Penguins (cousins to the Emperors) Macaroni, Gentoos (related to Adelie and from Falkland Islands), Chinstaps and Rockhoppers. The rest are skuas (predator), leopard seals, elephant seals, albatrosses, krills and other sea mammals. The warm climate is great for breeding for most of the peguins particulary the Chinstraps, Adelies and the King penguins who can withstand and are now used to warm climates. The Chinstraps have their own special colony for breeding the volcanic Zavodovski Island in the South Sandwich and Georgia Islands, East of Argentina.
|All the Scientific Bases on Antarctica: Most of the bases appear to be on the Western coast. Russia long side the U.S. has the most.
Most tragically, Antarctica's Adelie Penguin Colony in Cape Denison first filmed and photographed in 1912 nearly lost its entiry population in 2016 when an iceberg the size of Rome crushed and blocked its only access to water and food. The 160,000 penguins had to walk or woddle 120 kilometers to find a new source of food and water. Out of the population only 10,000 survive. Unless the iceberg is dislodge, the Adelie penguins on Cape Denison might not survive in the next two decades. It's not only people being affected by costal erosion or environmental destruction. Most Antarctica and Patagonian penguins like many people around the world are coastal and rely on immediate access to nearby open water to survive. Being flightless birds on an icesheet they have no other options. Antarctica is famous for being the only continent that isn't claimed by any country. It is also a declared scientific study area and now a case study for environmental studies and survival in harsh climates. It is one of the few continents that doesn't have a permanent human population but many countries do have scientists working there seasonally including Argentina, Chile, Australia and New Zealand, U.S., UK, Russia, China, France and South Africa

I have a 2000 Honda CR-V with a door lock problem that's been going on for about a couple months now. What happens is that sometimes the driver's door lock (and only the driver's door) will refuse to unlock. What will happen is all of the other door locks will pop up (meaning the little peg that pops up and down when you lock and unlock the doors) but the driver's door lock will only pop up halfway and the door won't unlock or open. My dad has already taken the door panel off, cleaned everything out and put it back. It worked fine for about a week and then the lock acted up again. It can't be the key fob because it's brand new and it works fine. And if I put the key in the lock, the door still won't unlock. Having said all that, when I took the car to get an oil change, my mom mentioned the problem to the mechanic and he somehow got the door to unlock by using the key.
Hope this helps. 1999 CR-V, but probably useful for other years. Just solved my uncooperative driver's side lock. For about a year I had to jerk on the outside handle before the key could lift the lock post and let me in. Sometimes I couldn't get out either. The electric lock would pull it back down. Pulled the door panel and unplugged, then found the problem was still there, except was no longer relocking itself, it just was hard to move, especially when hot. Took the whole thing out. Noticed a spring lying in the bottom of the door. Looked at latch mechanism and found two hooks with no spring. Loop on spring broken but I have a boxful collected over the years so was able to find a close match (about 1 inch long, medium tension). Now the unlatch lever returns to its place after the door handle released. The reason heat made it worse is the grease: slicker when hot, unlatch lever would fall back down when handle let go, blocking the locking lever. Now it stays up out of the way. Did have to adjust the length of the handle rod (take the handle assembly out while still connected to door, pull up and turn it around until the rod is right length [it is threaded at the top knuckle for this purpose]-- in my case about two turns CCW). Now everything works great. Decided I liked it better without electricity, left it unplugged. Can still un/lock the rest by the door switch, but do the driver door manually. Note: getting the assembly out is not very easy and getting it back in is worse. To get the window track out of the way: take off the screw below the latch on the end of the door, peel the rubber track out of the metal channel, and set metal channel aside. The rest is just paying attention and not forcing anything.

The first deliveries of the Tesla Model X are just around the corner as the company's CEO has recently announced.
Elon Musk says that the 2016 Tesla Model X is getting closer and closer to its future customers and that the first deliveries of the crossover will begin in just 3 or 4 months. According to the Tesla Motors official, the final production version of the concept which was shown three years ago and "the Model X will be a better SUV than the Model S is a sedan", said the CEO.
The Tesla Model X is a brand new all-electric SUV which will be coming with gullwing doors. This is expected to hit dealerships in the third quarter of this year and it should be powered by a dual-motor, sending power to the all-wheel drive system. This will be borrowed from the impressive Model S P85D and it will be capable of putting down an impressive 691 HP (515 kW) and 930 Nm (687 lb-ft) of torque. We are not sure on what the performance of the SUV will be, but the sedan is capable of reaching 60 mph (96 km/h) from a standstill in just 3.2 seconds and it has a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h). The Tesla Model X will have no direct competitor at the time because the Audi Q6 will be introduced sometimes in 2018 and it will be followed by the similar BMW model at the end of the decade.

Okay, heres the unabashed truth my new man crush is Jake Gyllenhaal! Sorry for jumping on the bandwagon a bit late, but I had to meet him first prior to declaring my love for the actor! Well, I met him at the Toronto International Film Festival for his fantastic film End of Watch, and boy, I fell in love, not just with Gyllenhaal but with the movie! It rocks!
In the film, Gyllenhaal stars as Brian Taylor, a new officer assigned in South Central L.A. Together with his partner, Mike Zavala (Michael Pena), the duo ventured into the wild streets of LA to serve and protect. Honestly? Ive never felt this intense watching a movie since Silence of the Lambs!
In this interview, we talked about:
*** Before starting my interview, I told him I was wonderfully blessed watch his face lit up!
*** When he first read the script, what did he think?
*** How he developed his palpable chemistry with Michael Pena?
*** The multiple camera technique used in the film
*** His dancing in the film to Push It!
Have fun!

Ive always believed that Michael Pena is a great character actor since watching him in 2004s Crash. Since then, the actors star continues to shine, turning in memorable performances in World Trade Center and The Lincoln Lawyer. In End of Watch, he plays Jake Gyllenhaals partner. This film is riveting! One of the best films of 2012! In this interview, we talked about:
*** His interest in making End of Watch
*** What he did when he failed his audition to be in the movie
*** How he found his character
*** Working with Jake Gyllenhaal and creating a palpable chemistry with him
*** What it means to be a hero?
Have fun!

This is my umpteenth time meeting Miss Anna Kendrick! Shes always sweet in person, and always a scene stealer! In the film, she plays the love interest of the character played by Jake Gyllenhaal. And Natalie Martinez has grown up to become a confident actress since I first interviewed her for Death Race. Remember that film? No? You will definitely remember Martinez in End of Watch as Michael Penas characters wife. In this interview, we talked about:
*** What attracted them in making End of Watch
*** The script, the way it was shot
*** Anna Kendricks sex scene with Jake Gyllenhaal
*** Natalie Martinezs confidence as an actress
*** And finally, what the heck is a gooch? Texas Twister? Find out in the movie!

So, I was blessed for being invited at the Toronto International Film Festival, and I was doubly blessed for being able to see one of the best films of the year, End of Watch. David Ayer, the guy who wrote Training Day, wrote and directed this fantastic film! In this interview, we talked about:
*** What made him want to go back to the LAPD world?
*** He ate all the words he said about corrupt cops being an interesting tool in doing a cop movie.
*** The camera technique he used for End of Watch
*** The palpable chemistry between Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena they didnt like each other at first!
Have fun!

A selection of recordings from the archives of Radio Haiti have been released as part of the newly-launched website, radiohaitilives.com. The site currently features over 50 digitized audio recordings from the Radio Haiti Archives, a brief history of Radio Haïti-Inter, and historical background on the major themes covered in the recording. More recordings will continue to be added, as well as interactive content, such as timelines and maps, which will contextualize the recordings in the larger picture of 20th century Haitian history.
The clips have been selected and digitized from the Radio Haiti Archives, donated to Duke University's David M. Rubenstein Rare Book and Manuscript Library by Michéle Montas in April 2013. Over the course of several years, the entire donation will be digitized. The project will result in the preservation of the comprehensive archives of Radio Haïti-Inter, the voice of Haitian democracy from the station's genesis in the 1960s to its closure in 2003.
Listen to Michéle Montas, Laurent Dubois, and Laura Wagner discuss the project on The State of Things: http://wunc.org/post/bringing-back-radio-haiti-station-told-overlooked-stories
