Rocks Like: The Killers, Shiny Toy Guns, Panic! At The Disco
Check Out: "Dark Words On Dark Wings"
After guitarist Robert Wesley suggested that his sister, Daisy, should join Quiet Science as their pianist, things started happening for the Merritt Island, Florida, trio. Songs played on VH1 and ESPN, along with an album produced by Jeremy SH Griffith (Underoath, Norma Jean), soon followed. "More than fame or money, we have always just wanted to be heard," says frontman Nathan Walter. "Not just our music, but our words. We want to be a voice of hope, a voice of strength [and] a voice of comfort."

There are frequent discussions on whether same sex expression is immoral. Or on whether support of same sex relationships, such as marriage equality, is immoral.
It's more difficult to find discussions on whether homophobia is immoral. Often we (or I) make statements based on the assumption that homophobia is immoral - but what is the basis for that? What specifically homophobic actions or statements are immoral, and why?
I can try starting a list. I am not formally trained in logic or moral discussion.
(1) Scapegoating. Scapegoating is the action of attributing bad events to a person or groups of people. For example, 911 was the homosexuals' fault. The tsunami was the homosexuals' fault. AIDS is the homosexuals' fault. Divorce among wealthy celebrity reality pseudostars is the homosexuals' fault. Why are these statements immoral? I think, first, it attaches demonization to a category of people, and on individual people, who are clearly not to blame. It exposes them to danger, retribution, and discrimination, and for false reasons. It might actually endanger other people, if they believed it - for example if tsunamis are the fault of the homosexuals, then there is no reason to avoid building near the coast, or install tsunami warnings, since the real protection would be to prevent homosexuality.
(2) Unequal Opportunity. Discrimination in work, housing, and other situations seems, to me, to be immoral. That is based on my belief that all should have equal responsibility and opportunity. It can also harm society in general, since it can mean that the most qualified person for a job or role is not the person doing that job or role.
(3) I'm not sure what to add, or if this is on the right track. Comments?
Views: 210
Homophobia is the quickest way for people to know what you're talking about. People all have their gripes about words (I can't stand the word "Islamophobia") but with some wordings there are gripes in either direction. There are some who are uncomfortable with gays because they are afraid if they chill out they could discover their own homosexual tendencies. This is "classic" homophobia.
Other immoral qualities: judgmentalism. Hating people based on one characteristic. Invasion of privacy (anti-gay laws). Abandoning one's children or other family members. Support for bullying. Oh, and also the tendency for hypocrisy, as so many famous homophobes have been caught with their pants down.
This is a good list. Especially the tendency for hypocrisy. And abandoning of children. And the judgementalism. And the support for bullying.

Wasn't sure what to expect, however, this doesn't live up to the description of "astounding" three d effects. If anything, parts that are supposed to move as you walk by just become blurry.

Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- This market is having a hard time making up its mind, Jim Cramer said on "Mad Money" Friday as he laid out his game plan for next week's trading.
Cramer said Monday will hinge on the Chinese manufacturing PMI number. A weak number could roll back many of the recent gains in the industrials. Also beginning on Monday is the Howard Weil Energy Conference, which should help boost stocks like Ensco (ESV), Cheniere Energy (LNG) and Schlumberger (SLB).
Next, on Tuesday, it's McCormick (MKC), Walgreen (WAG) and PVH (PVH) reporting. Cramer said if good numbers sends these stocks higher that could mean good things for the rest of the market.
Wednesday brings the hotly anticipated initial public offering of King Digital, maker of the popular game Candy Crush, along with earnings from Paychex (PAYX) and more comments from the Federal Reserve. Cramer said investors should get in on the IPO and pay attention to the other two.
Then, on Thursday, it's Lululemon Athletica (LULU) and Restoration Hardware (RH). Cramer said strength in these two names would be great for the technology and biotech groups.
Finally, on Friday, Cramer said he'll be watching two cloud IPOs, 2U and Aerohive Networks. Good news for these IPOs would be great for the speculative biotech sector, Cramer concluded.
Cramer's Playbook
In a Friday edition of "Cramer's Playbook," Cramer answered the question of whether exchange-traded funds or mutual funds are the best way to invest.
ETFs and mutual funds are everywhere, said Cramer, and the choices are enough to make your head spin. He's long been on record despising leveraged ETFs but low-cost index funds, like those that mirror the S&P 500, are a good bet.
What about mutual funds? Cramer said mutual funds do offer diversification but often at much higher fees than ETFs, making returns lower.

GBBD: The Onset of Yellow
Last Monday, I talked about March being noted for its yellow and its onset has indeed started here at VP Gardens. It's a dull day here, but the daffodils manage effortlessly to cheer up the gloom.
Walking around the garden this morning, I noted how much better the more dainty daffodils looked compared with their larger, more blowsy cousins. They're also less likely to be felled by the fickle winds of March. The blackthorn blossom is about to burst too - we may yet have another go at winter.
I'm meeting up with Victoria later to go round the Abbey Gardens which open for the NGS today. As the house is up for sale, this year might be the last opportunity for us to visit. She also has some spare Iris 'Katherine Hodgkin', which she is kindly giving to me - hurray.
I can't think of a better thing to do for Blooms Day than to meet up with a garden blogging buddy :)
Garden Bloggers' Blooms Day is hosted by Carol at May Dreams Gardens.

I really do prefer the miniature daffodils in the garden environment specially a small garden like ours.ReplyDelete
Very pretty little daffodil!ReplyDelete
Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!
There's nothing as cheery on a dull March day as a yellow daffodil! It's sunny and warm here today, but I don't think winter is done with us either. And I agree on the mini daffodils--I planted more of them last fall and can't wait to see them bloom this year. Happy Bloom Day!ReplyDelete
I haven't tried miniature daffodils but I wonder...they may work well with iris reticulata, something I've been thinking of trying. So starved for outdoor bloom here in upstate New York. Maybe next month. Happy GBBD. Alana-ReplyDelete
The smaller daffodils are so much nicer than the huge ones, they look like patches of sunlight even on a dull day.ReplyDelete
You're right, the little daffodils are lovely. I hope you have a good time at the Abbey Gardens. CJ xxReplyDelete
Your cheerful daffodils are lovely! I've linked to them on my blog today, having no blooms yet in my Pennsylvania garden. Happy GBBD! P. xReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Oh mellow yellow :) I have to agree with you VP - those little daffies are so much more resilient than the big boys when it comes to standing up to those "mad March days". I hope that you had a brilliant day out with Victoria.ReplyDelete
P.S. Apologies for deleting the above comment. I'm having problems commenting on Blogger blogs - it is often taking two attempts :( I try to remember to copy each comment before posting just in case but did not in this instance as a comment I'd posted on another Blogger blog earlier this evening was published.

I love the trumpets when they open and everything before and after. Minis are usually among the last and each one is precious.ReplyDelete
I just love all kinds of daffodils - to me they are so much part of Spring.ReplyDelete
All the best Jan
We don't grow daffodils here, they don't like the heat, so we instead grow hippeastrum. However, they are so expensive for us online. Nevertheless, we also have lots of yellow flowers, and lots of them are vegetables. I smiled seeing your squash flower thumbnail below.ReplyDelete
I agree the small daffs are much more attractive and dainty, I now have quite a number of Tet a Tet's in the garden and in pots.ReplyDelete
Angela - Garden Tea Cakes and Me
I prefer mini-daffodils as well, and looking forward to the blackthorn blossom. Flighty xxReplyDelete
Thanks for all your comments everyone - it seems we have quite a few fans of the smaller daffodils :-)ReplyDelete
I love hearing from you and welcome thoughtful conversations :)

An Arbitrage-free Two-factor Model of the Term Structure of Interest Rates: A Multivariate Binomial Approach
We build a no-arbitrage model of the term structure, using two stochastic factors on each date, the short-term interest rate and the forward premium. The model is essentially an extension to two factors of the lognormal interest rate model of Black-Karazinski. It allows for mean reversion in the short rate and in the forward premium. The method is computationally efficient for several reasons. First, interest rates are defined on a bankers' discount basis, as linear functions of zero-coupon bond prices, enabling us to use the no-arbitrage condition to compute bond prices without resorting to cumbersome iterative methods. Second, the multivariate-binomial methodology of Ho-Stapleton-Subrahmanyam is extended so that a multi-period tree of rates with the no-arbitrage property can be constructed using analytical methods. The method uses a recombining two-dimensional binomial lattice of interest rates that minimizes the number of states and term structures. Third, the problem of computing a large number of term structures is simplified by using a limited number of bucket rates in each term structure scenario. In addition to these computational advantages, a key feature of the model is that it is consistent with the observed term structure of volatilities implied by the prices of interest rate caps and floors. We illustrate the use of the model by pricing American-style and Bermudan-style options on interest rates. Option prices for realistic examples using forty time periods are shown to be computable in seconds.

Peter King rates the Bucs as NFL's ninth-best
Too bad Sports Illustrated NFL writer Peter King doesn't select the 12 teams that make the NFL playoffs. If he did, the Bucs would be in the postseason. In his weekly, must-read Monday Morning Quarterback, King ranks the Bucs ninth in his "Fine Fifteen.'' About the Bucs, King writes:
There are a few coaches who are glad they don't have to face the Bucs in the playoffs. What a handful. And let's put it out there right now: I love Josh Freeman. What a treat it'll be to watch him play over the next 10 years.

McEwing Discusses Interference Call
According to a story in today's Daily News former Met utility man Joe McEwing is in regular contact with David Wright and thinks that umpire Jeff Nelson made the correct call the other day on the controversial baserunner interference call. The story ran a couple of funny quotes by McEwing on the subject:
There's no way he could have touched the base. I think he thought he might have been watching the Heat game, thought he was Shaq.
Apparently McEwing said to Wright:
Who are you trying to take out, Andruw Jones?

text: Politics 22 September 2008 A bold vision? The talk at conference, a desire to hear a bold vision from Gordon Brown and Charles Clarke's curren Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML The New Statesman party is usually the first big event of Labour's annual conference and you can get quite a sense of how the week may pan out. This time Charles Clarke was an early arrival keen to spread the word about his Sunday Times article in which he cheered on the idea of a leadership contest. Clarke's not a popular figure in Manchester just now - neither with delegates nor senior party figures. Leave aside John Prescott's attack branding the former home secretary a "bitterite". One senior Labour figure told me that they could neither understand what had happened to Clarke - nor what he thought he was playing at. "He's been there right at the centre of things for years and now look at him. What's he think he's doing?" they asked angrily. I've been going to these conferences for nearly a decade and this is an odd one. Especially if you think back just a year. Then the atmosphere at the NS bash was feverish as we all speculated about a snap election. It was virtually the only conversation. How things change and the talk now is whether Gordon Brown can survive. Curiously it may be that fears over the economy are his best allies just now. It would be rash to trust either David Cameron or George Osborne with such a challenging situation. This needs more than a background in PR or the enthusiastic efforts of a former chorister - actually I don't know that about George but it just seems to fit. After the NS party I went back into the security zone. Alistair Darling was having a drink with Neil Kinnock in one of the hotel bars and the Unite union bash was in full swing. Some people at least seemed to be trying to have a good time and most seemed agreed that the prime minister is liable to come out of conference stronger than he went in. After that it will depend on what sort of direction he can give his party - and his government. If nothing else it's time to shine the light on the Tories and their superficial transformation. David Miliband does that writing on our conference blog. The foreign secretary pours scorn on Lexus Dave's progressive pretentions and insists Labour can win the next election. But it needs to set out a bold vision. "The Tories now claim to agree with our goals. But David Cameron says that "progressive ends will best be met through conservative means." And that is the new con, in Cameron's conservatives. You cannot deliver progressive ends by Tory isolationism from Europe and Tory anti-statism." In the meantime everyone is looking to see just what Brown's bold vision is. › Trouble in Manchester Ben Davies trained as a journalist after taking most of the 1990s off.

Posts Tagged 'dorm room'
3 Keys to a Successful College Dorm Room
While your dorm room may be small, big things will happen there. This is where you'll type the first sentence of your first novel. It's where you'll begin memorizing human bones and muscles on a road that will eventually lead to a medical degree. It's where engineers, lawyers, and artists first sit down with a textbook and begin understanding the theories, concepts, and practices of their world. Your dorm room should reflect that! It should inspire you to explore. It should motivate you to get out of bed when it's snowing. It should remind you of who you are and where you've come from. Check out these ways you can make your dorm room explode with greatness and color in a way that will make you proud to be a college student, as well as excited about life, even when it's gray and raining!
Use Lots of Color
There will be a week it rains–every single day. You might have a month where you feel as if you haven't seen the sun at all, and you never will again. Somewhere around the middle of the semester, you might feel like everyday is filled with chapters to read and papers to write with no end in sight. As your dorm room is likely various shades of black, white, and gray, prepare for those not-so-bright weeks by brightening up your living space with your favorite colors. Get blue magnets for your fridge, a bright pink rug, or yellow pillows. These fun items might be enough to improve your mood on that thundering Tuesday afternoon!
Have A Variety of Lighting Solutions
You may want to have numerous options for lighting your dorm room. Do you have a setting for when you're up late finishing a project and your roommate is asleep? How about a setting for when it's pitch black outside and you and your roommate want to stay up playing a game? What about a setting for when you're in bed finishing up a chapter in a book, and don't want to get up to turn off the light? Consider stand alone lamps, lamps with multiple settings, desk lamps, book lights, push lights, decorative lights, and any other type of light you can think of that will allow you to adjust lighting for any situation.
Give Yourself Motivation
Everyone has a reason for attending college and for choosing a particular major. Maybe you're going to school to be a teacher because you had a teacher who changed your life. Maybe you're a film major because Fight Club is your favorite movie, and you want to create art with that much complexity. Have something in your room that will remind you of why you're here. When you're in the middle of a twenty-page paper while your friends are all at a party, or when it's the first warm week of the semester and you'd rather tan than study, you'll need the motivation to keep you going!

9 Things Every Guy Needs in His Dorm Room
Guys. I know for many of us, going shopping is pain in the #($*$(#*# @(@*#(* ; even for something as exciting as college.
So here's a simple list of some things you should think about getting for your dorm room that will make those shopping trips easier:
A mini-fridge: You will get sick of the dorm food. I repeat: You will get sick of the dorm food. Also, you will not want to waste a meal credit on breakfast that often. So a mini-fridge is a good place to keep breakfast and snack supplies as well as cold drinks for those late night study sessions.
Risers for your bed: If you don't end up lofting your beds, get risers for your bed. Those few inches will make a big difference for what you can store in your room. You're going to want as much space as possible.
Extra sheets and towels: Don't be gross. Change your sheets. Also your friend from high school visiting does not want to have to use your damp towel you just dried off with to shower. Your friends will not remember to bring a towel when they come to visit.
Air mattress: If you don't have a futon in your room, keep an air mattress handy in case you have a friend from out of town come to visit. A sleeping bag is nice also. Don't be a bad host. Also your buddy from down the hall will thank you whenever his roommate's out of town girlfriend comes to visit.
Laptop lock: Some schools have issues with theft in the dorms. For peace of mind, lock up your laptop to your desk. This way you don't have to lock your door every time you go to the bathroom.
Microwave: Now's the time to eat all the snack food that your mom wouldn't let you buy growing up. Many of these hedonistic foods require preparation in the microwave. You'll thank me at 2am.
Hamper for your clothes: When you're working off those late night snacks you'll want to have somewhere to throw your dirty gym clothes afterwards.
Power strips: There are never enough outlets in the dorm room.
Flash drive: Much more convenient than uploading to a server or emailing your self a document every time you want to print something at the computer lab, you'll be grateful you have a flash drive when the printer you got for free with your laptop breaks after 2 months of use.

Frederick official Billy Shreve says kids can take public transit to school
FREDERICK, Md. (AP) - A Frederick County commissioner is suggesting that some rural children take public transit to school to reduce the cost of running school buses.
Republican Billy Shreve told The Frederick News-Post Tuesday that he would have no reservations about children riding with adults on the county's TransIt Services buses.
Shreve says that if those buses aren't safe for children, then the transit system has a problem. The county school superintendent says school officials will consider the idea.
But a TransIt Services official says driving children to schools outside the current route system could conflict with the agency's mission of getting people to areas where businesses, stores, doctors and services are concentrated.

"Ask him about the cemeteries, Dean!"
The speaker, if the story is true, was President Lyndon B. Johnson instructing Secretary of State Dean Rusk on what to say to French President Charles DeGaulle. The year was 1966 and DeGaulle had announced he wanted all U.S. troops out of France. Johnson thought it appropriate to ask if that included the ones in the ground. Rusk was reluctant, feeling perhaps that it would be impolitic to pose that question to the French president. But Johnson was insistent.
"Ask him about the cemeteries, Dean!"
That made it a presidential order. So dutifully, Rusk asked DeGaulle if his order to evacuate American troops from France included the more than 60,000 buried there as casualties of World Wars I and II. An embarrassed DeGaulle reportedly left the meeting without answering.
At ballparks throughout the nation this Memorial Day, fans will pause for a moment of tribute to the men and women serving in our armed forces around the globe, defending "freedom and our way of life." We rightly, and almost instinctively, honor those who serve, but as Robert Kagan noted in his book, The World America Made, there is also "an unmistakable glint of pride in the nation's role 'around the globe.' "
Indeed, few, if any, had a second thought about the pride President Kennedy expressed in the men who not only served in lands far from home, but died there. France is not the only nation with Americans in the ground.
"The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe," Kennedy said in his Inaugural Address. A grateful nation remembers and honors their courage and their sacrifice. But is it really a cause for pride that our nation has sent so many of its youth to fight and die in far-off lands, often for unclear purposes in wars that had little or nothing to do with defending the United States, or our "vital national interests," or "our way of life"?
"Americans may be 'imperialists' in the eyes of many," Kagan wrote, "but if so, they are reluctant, conscience-ridden, distracted, halfhearted imperialists." Or so we believe, anyway. Our leaders always speak of going to war "if war is forced upon us." Our nation "never goes to war because we want to," Senator John Kerry said in accepting the Democratic Party's nomination for President in 2004. "We only go to war because we have to."
Yet Kerry had less than two years earlier voted with the vast majority of his Senate colleagues to authorize what was clearly a war of choice. In what way did we "have to" go to war with Iraq? Even if Saddam Hussein had been in possession of "weapons of mass destruction," the primary justification given for the war, he could not have used them against the United States or our allies without bringing about his own destruction and his nation's devastation.
In August of 2004, Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran, said that even if he had known no weapons of mass destruction would be found after (by then) nearly a year and a half of U.S. occupation, he would still have voted to give the president the authority to wage war on Iraq. "I believe it is the right authority for a president to have, but I would have used that authority effectively," Kerry said.
That may be what Kerry believed, and may yet believe, about the authority a president should have, but it is not what the Framers believed, nor what the Constitution requires. The power vested in Congress to declare is not the mere privilege of announcing to the world what the president has decided. That's a job for a press secretary, not a Congress. The Constitutional Convention left to the commander in the authority, inherent in the office, to repel a sudden attack, not to start a war. It left to the Congress the awesome responsibility of deciding whether to commit the nation to an all-out war, a responsibility Congress pretends to fulfill by passing weasel-worded resolutions "authorizing" the president to decide.
During a Senate hearing in 2005, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), an early and enthusiastic supporter of the war with Iraq, confronted Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld over the growing disenchantment of the American public with the ongoing carnage, more than two years after President Bush had declared the end of combat operations.
"And I'm here to tell you, sir, in the most patriotic state I can imagine, people are beginning to question," said Graham. "And I don't think it's a blip on the radar screen. I think we have a chronic problem on our hands."
Many of the bodies buried in those cemeteries in France are the remains of young men who fought in the First World War, the war to "make the world safe for democracy." Maybe we could make the world a little safer for those who risk their lives to defend us if we begin to question the reasons for going to war before they are sent halfway around the world to fight people who have neither threatened nor attacked us. Maybe we should question the rationale for the next war, before our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines are two years into another "chronic problem," otherwise known as chaos. Maybe it would be nice if those who represent and our states in the U.S. House and Senate did the same.
We could start our questioning when the temptation is to cheer on the next war in another patriotic frenzy, believing we are "supporting the troops" by waving the flag or singing "God Bless America" in the seventh-inning stretch. We might think instead of our countrymen who will come home with sightless eyes or missing limbs or other wounds to mind and body from which many will never recover. We need to ask ourselves about those who won't come back alive and remember all those graves that "surround the globe." We should ask ourselves about the cemeteries and the rush to fill them.

My 9 year old is Mason Patrick Tyler, He has 2 middle names because his father and I couldnt agree on 1. This one if its a boy will be Grayson Skyler Cole. My husband always called Mason Batman. Whats up Batman? How you doing today,Batman? Thought it was funny. He got Grayson from d**k Grayson i.e. Robin from Batman and Robin. When we named Mason our next son was Going to be Marshall but since my husband calls him Batman we went that way. My girl is Mahaley Lynn Jordyn. Lynn is my familys middle name and I think Lynn Jordyn goes smoothly together. As for Mahaley my husband also came up with that and it stuck but I have yet to have a girl and I believe Im having another boy due to no girls born on my husbands side of the family since 1876. And Mason looks just like his father with a few of my good features, mostly my eye color. My sister doesnt like the name Grayson but idc because its my son and I think its perfect for Masons i.e Batmans little brother. All that matters is that u like it. Kids will be kids and at some point or another everyone has been made fun of wether its about your looks or your name. I had the most boring common name. Michelle Martin. people called me mnm. didnt bother me i like mnms. lol I am married now and thats not my last name anymore but still. I have always been a big girl too. When I was in high school I lost like 40 pounds but have always had big b**bs and I never wore revealing things so it looked like i was still big but I weighed like 130. Point is do what u want, what makes u happy. Its your baby. Congrats to all the mommies!!
I disagree. My name is Skylar and I'm a girl and clearly I look like a girl and talk like a girl. In 6th grade most girls dont have b**bs, I was one that didn't and everyone still knew I was a girl!!! And why would people want their children's names spelled the same way as 3 million other people in the world? Being unique is great, and I'm glad my name is Skylar. Yes it is a boys name too and usually spelled skyler but my name is unique and I love it everyone tells me how pretty my name is and the spelling too. I have a son named Ryan and a daughter on the way and her name is going to be Airynn. The spelling is different but it's pretty and girly and Erin is just plain and boring.
Found out we are having a boy so his name will be Christian.
Quoting Skylar Logan:" I disagree. My name is Skylar and I'm a girl and clearly I look like a girl and talk like a girl. In ... [snip!] ... way and her name is going to be Airynn. The spelling is different but it's pretty and girly and Erin is just plain and boring."
Forgive me for throwing my two cents out there, but I believe that parents can name their kid WHATEVER they want. If the name is reasonable, of course. Nothing like "Adolf Hitler" or "doighsdkfjsjkghturej" (Literally, google it. There's a couple that named their kids a bunch of letters.)
I think it's important for the parents to teach their child to embrace their name. Just because you're flat or if you're muscular/athletic, it does not give ANYONE the right to make fun of you.
Quoting keikie:" AIR, YOU SAID IT ALL IN YOUR REPLY TO "SPECS06" IGNORANT VIEWPOINT! WOW! I AM OFFENDED BY HER COMMENT ... [snip!] ... I HOPE YOUR CHILD, LITTLE 'SALLY' OR WHATEVER, FARES WELL IN LIFE WITH HER NAME THAT 5 OTHER KIDS IN HER CLASS WILL HAVE."
I agree. Definitely don't let people change your mind about the name you love, they don't have to live with it. That is what pisses me off, when people get so offended when you tell them what your naming your child and say something super inappropriate like "why the hell would you name your kid that? That is a horrible name!" It's not like they have to use it too. And its OK to be unique, arent we all unique anyways? And when certain names started were they popular right off the bat, or did time make them that way? Not saying I like all names but who does? :lol:
Its very simple to find a good and unique name with the help of Emma's Diary. I have also used this to select the name of my first baby. I think this will help you lot. You can find out various name suggestions from huge database.

Quoting nick:" There's no obvious method for choosing the perfect name for your child, so we've reserved this space ... [snip!] ... rhyme is good thing: long first names go well with short last names and vice versa. Got some good tips? Then post them here!"

i need some help in the name department. my boyfriend and i have picked out the perfect girls name. if it a boy tho he wants to give the baby his fathers exact name. me his mother and my mother all believe it is a bad idea. one name or the other would b ok. his father did some stupid things and i dont want my son having to live knowing thats who he was named after and feeling badly about it. how can i gently bring this up to my boyfriend w/o hurting him or making him angry?
Just sit him down and explain to him that you don't feel right giving your son 100% of his dads name when your father has been there for you and your not naming your son after him
Quoting Letah:" Lets Hijack my girlfriends login. Wow, I am actually reading through stuff, amazing. Let me add my 2 ... [snip!] ... down a lot. If you dont like it after that, then dont use it. Find another and try that. Being creative is what lifes about."
Logan makes me think of wolverine too, I freaking love it. Wolverine rocks. ( It's where the James in my 3rd son's name comes from actually, wolverine is James Logan, Logan was his last name but it's way too popular here, I didn't want him to be one of 4 in his class, my middle son is already cursed with a super popular name b/c his dad found out that there were more girl Taylor's than boys so I "had" to change his name last minute, didn't check the charts!)
Quoting newmommy@18:" i need some help in the name department. my boyfriend and i have picked out the perfect girls name. if ... [snip!] ... was named after and feeling badly about it. how can i gently bring this up to my boyfriend w/o hurting him or making him angry?"
Tell him you think the baby deserves to have his own name.
Are Abigail and Amelia too matchy? Abigail's always shortened to Abby, and I'd most likely shorten Amelia to Mia.
Can anybody help me out??
Quoting Colton's Butterfly:" Are Abigail and Amelia too matchy? Abigail's always shortened to Abby, and I'd most likely shorten Amelia to Mia. Can anybody help me out??"
I know I'm late, but no, I don't think they're even similar.

Valve has released the 2011 growth rate details with the press, and it is massive!
During 2011 the platform grew to offer over 1,800 games to over 40 million accounts. Year-over-year unit sales increased by more than 100% for the seventh straight year, and during the 2011 Holiday Sale Steam's simultaneous user number eclipsed the 5 million player mark.
Meanwhile Steam doubled the amount of content delivered in 2011 vs. 2010, serving over 780 Petabytes of data to gamers around the world.
To meet the increasing demand for games and services on the platform, the Steam infrastructure more than doubled its service capacity and a new content delivery architecture was deployed to improve user download rates.
Over 14.5 mil copies of Steamworks games were registered during the year, a 67% increase over 2010. Steamworks titles shipped during 2011 include The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and more.
Since the suite of services was released three years ago, Steamworks has shipped in over 400 games.
"Steam and Steamworks continues to evolve to keep up with customer and developer demands for new services and content," said Gabe Newell, co-founder and president of Valve.
"Support for in-game item trading prompted the exchange of over 19 million items.
"Support for Free to Play (F2P) games, launched in June, has spurred the launch of 18 F2P titles on Steam, with more coming in 2012. Looking forward, we are preparing for the launch of the Big Picture UI mode, which will allow gamers to experience Steam on large displays and in more rooms of the house," he added.
Steam has come a long way since 2004, and I couldn't be more happier for Valve. Now, where is my Half-Life 3? :>(

Is it just me, or are lever action rifles cool?
I'm pretty new to personal firearms and like many (i imagine) my wish list will always be more than my budget can realize.
I've really been interested in lever action rifles lately (and I'm not sure why). I'm not a cowboy/western junkie or anything, they just seem really neat.
I know that I'd like to get a .22 Henry or something similar in the future to shoot with my kids but I'm thinking about daddy guns right now. I just want to open the discussion to multiple brands and calibers, since I'm generally new to all of this. I'd like something fun to shoot at the range that won't kill my shoulder, lol.
Any of you folks out there with lever rifles please sound off; what you have, what you like. Pics would be cool too!
I've really been enjoying my brief time on this forum so far and I'm looking forward to some great input!
Hey Calle,It just isn't right if you don't have good ole Lever Action rifles in your collection. Your right,They're COOL!,and very fun to shoot and accurate.
I have a few in my collection:
1873 Uberti-45Colt
1892 Rossi-38/357 Magnum
94 AE Winchester-44 Magnum
Marlin 56-22LR
Marlin 1897 Annie Oakley-22LR
Erma Werke 73-22WMR
Winchester 255-22WMR
Awesome! That's what I'm talkin' about hillbilly! Do you have a favorite?
Yes,All of them. LOL
My favorite lever action .22 is definatley the henry, probably the most accurate .22 I have ever shot. Ammo is dirt cheap, and you can never get tired of shooting it.
It's not you, they are definatly cool. I'm eyeing my first one right now.
I don't have a lot of pictures handy but here are a few:
Twin pre 64's Winchester 94s in 30-30 and .32 Win Spl
Technically speaking a lever gun, Shilo Sharps 45-70 (top)
I also have an early 1920s Savage 99 in .300 Savage, A Winchester 1894 from the late 1910's in .30 WCF (30-30) and a Rossi in .45 Colt somwhere in the gun room.
No favorites here, love them all...
Damb Tex, Nice family there! I have 2 levers.
Browning 1981 BLR (Steel receiver) .308
The .44-40 is a ton of fun, no recoil and plenty accurate to 150 yards. Ammo is dirt cheap to reload.
I have two lever action rifles in my possession.
1. Winchester model 94 30-30 that my dad bought me when I was 10 or so back in 1981.
2. my son's new Henry Youth Lever Action .22 he got for Christmas, Great to shoot.
In the future my son will inherit a Henry Big Boy .44 that my dad bought for him, Its in the first 500 made IIRC
Im not a cowboy either, Honestly I cant stand country music... But Lever Actions are cool!
Good luck to you :cool:

Osaka Mayor and Nippon Ishin no Kai (Japan Restoration Party) head Toru Hashimoto indicated Friday evening that a merger with former Tokyo Gov. Shintaro Ishihara's Taiyo no To (The Sunrise Party) is almost a done deal.
Hashimoto also said it is his understanding that Genzei Nippon (Tax Reduction Japan), a minor party headed by Nagoya Mayor Takashi Kawamura, will not join the merger of the two parties. Earlier Ishihara and Kawamura had announced plans to merge their parties.
"(I) have reached an agreement with party coleader Ishihara," Hashimoto said after meeting with Ishihara at a Tokyo hotel.
However, Hashimoto did not provide any more details of how Nippon Ishin no Kai and Taiyo no To might cooperate on policies. He and Ishihara have fundamental differences in areas ranging from the consumption tax to nuclear power to constitutional reforms.
Ishihara and other party executives are expected to try to form an internal consensus on the issues before Saturday's Ishihara-Hashimoto meeting in Osaka.
To merge, the two parties would need to overcome a number of differences, in particular whether to support Japan's participation in the Trans-Pacific Partnership free-trade talks and Hashimoto's call for the eventual abolition of all nuclear power stations in Japan.
The Hashimoto-Ishihara party merger, if realized, is likely to attract a considerable number of swing voters who now do not support any existing parties, in particular the Democratic Party of Japan or the Liberal Democratic Party, the nation's two largest political forces.
Earlier Friday, Taiyo no To key member Hiroyuki Sonoda told reporters in Tokyo that his party and Nippon Ishin no Kai at first will try to coordinate policies to merge, and Genzei Nippon may later consider whether to accept those terms and join the two.
Nippon Ishin no Kai has advocated participating in the TPP talks, as well as abolishing all nuclear plants by 2030. Whether Taiyo no To can accept these goals will be key in the merger talks.

text: Sunday 28 October 2001 - Mears Shuttle, What Mears Shuttle? The Plan - Animal Kingdom arrive at 8.00 am when park opens Donalds Breakfastsaurus @ 10.00 am Awake at 6.00 am this morning as we expected, but not entirely because of jet lag, also because of the road noise. Once you woke up it was impossible to drop off again. The plan was to arrive at Animal Kingdom for opening at 8.00 am as we would wake up early, at least do the safari if nothing else, then have breakfast with Donald at 10.00 am. However, because AK wasnt opening until 9.00 am due to the reduced hours, and we knew it would take a while for us to get into the park and get our bearings, we decided we wouldnt have time to do anything before breakfast and then most of the morning would have gone so we decided to cancel our PS and have the breakfast buffet at the hotel instead. This was OK, if a little bit chaotic as they had closed the restaurants and were just using tables in the lobby. Buffet cost $7 for adults, $3.75 for children and under 5s ate free and included tea, coffee and milk. Good food, as much as you could eat cereal, fresh fruit salad, porridge, grits, bacon, scrambled eggs, sausage, pancakes and syrup, breakfast potatoes, bagels, crumpet type things, muffins, and bread to make your own toast plus at least 6 flavours of coffee including hazelnut which was yummy. We needed to see the Virgin rep at the AMC cinema at some point over the next day or so to get our Adventure Passport for Sea World and Busch Gardens so decided to go today and get it over with. Back to the room and ready to leave at 8.30 when the telephone rings Mrs Davies, your Mears shuttle is here. Sorry, but which Mears shuttle, I havent booked anything? To take you to the Virgin welcome meeting Maam, how long will you be? Were on our way down, thank you. Oh, right, didnt know anything about this, it certainly wasnt mentioned by the nice Virgin lady at the airport yesterday but it was free transport so what the heck. Told the Virgin lady in the entrance hallway of the AMC theatre that we didnt want to attend the welcome meeting but had just come to exchange our vouchers and she was fine about it and directed us into one of the theatres where another lady was sat behind a desk all on her own. Now the fun begins - she looked and looked on her computer screen and couldnt find the Adventure Passport anywhere. She said she would have to go and ask somebody and I was starting to panic at this point because I knew you could only get this particular ticket in the UK. Anyway, she came back about 5 minutes later and apparently it wasnt listed under A for Adventure or P for Passport but T for The - must have made perfect sense to the people who compiled the list (mind you mustnt mock - sounds just like my filing at work with everything going under M for Miscellaneous!!!!). Also managed to get our Arabian Nights tickets without a fuss but didnt realise we had to specify a certain night. Of course I didnt have my plan with me and even after looking at it every day for the last 6 months I couldnt remember what we were doing on specific days so we plumped for Friday thinking that it would be Friday of that week. When we later looked at the ticket it was Friday of the 2nd week, our last night, so in the end we never used them. Hope we didnt miss anything. Decided to stroll back to the hotel through a deserted West Side and Market Place to pick up the car as the Mears driver wasnt coming back until 11.00 am (I suppose thats so people like us dont escape before being parted with very large amounts of cash). Finally on our way to Animal Kingdom at 9.30 am. Arrived about 9.50 am and parked in the Dinosaur section, tram to entrance (our first Disney ride!!!!) through security and we were activating our passes for the very first time - how exciting is that!!! First stop was the safari for FP one hour later (standby line by this time was 20 minutes). Wandered round the Pangani Forest Trail which was brilliant. Watched the gorillas and the hippo for ages and had great fun watching the naked mole rats and chatting to one of the CMs about them. Got a snack of cookies from the Kusafiri bakery and wandered round Harambe just soaking up the atmosphere. Straight onto the safari for our first experience of using FP tickets and got great views of all the animals, especially the elephants and the lion who were really up close. Andrew was a little worried when the bridge collapsed but was fine when we reassured him it was all part of the fun!! Off for a stroll round the Tree of Life next taking hundreds of photographs on the way and straight into ITTBAB. Andrew was not very impressed with this and sat on my knee for half of the production. I had my eyes shut for some of it too but the 3D effects were stunning. Must say here that I was half expecting not to be able to see the 3D effects as I can never see the 3D pictures that you get in newspapers and magazines but I was fine with this. Mickey ice cream bars all round (the first of many over the 2 weeks) and off to Dinoland to get FPs for Dinosaur before heading for the 2.00 pm showing of the Festival of the Lion King show (the last show of the day). Really getting into the swing of this FP lark now, what a brilliant, brilliant idea it is. On the way back we spotted a sign pointing to a character greeting area so asked the CM who was down there. It was Winnie the Pooh, Tigger and Eeyore so autograph books and pens duly purchased from the very convenient stand next door and down the path we go. Waited literally 2 minutes in line and had a brilliant time with the characters for our first autograph experience. Tigger was an absolute hoot bouncing around all over the place. Waited about 10 minutes to get into the Lion King show and it filled up very quickly but managed to get good seats in the middle of the Lion section. This was not intentional but I was very relieved afterwards as I dont think I could have done a Warthog or Giraffe noise to save my life. All I can say is WOW, what a brilliant show this is, worth the park admission fee on its own. I am a little biased because I love the music from this film but I defy anyone to say they didnt enjoy it. Back to Dinoland in time to use our FP for Dinosaur and straight onto the ride again although I think the standby line was only about 10-15 minutes. We all enjoyed this ride except Andrew who was a bit scared (OK, very scared) - poor child will be traumatised by the time we take him home. Onto Asia next to do Kali River Rapids which Andrew refused point blank to do because he didnt want to get wet. After much threatening (sorry I mean persuasion) we agreed to buy him a poncho from the stand outside to keep him dry and still protesting we dragged him through the queueing area and straight on the ride with no wait. Well he absolutely loved it, especially when Dad and Michael got soaked, the two women opposite us got soaked and me and Andrew stayed completely dry. This was to turn out to be a theme for the rest of the holiday - maybe we made a mistake taking him into ITTBAB. He was always very unsure about going on the rides but once on them (with one exception which will be in a later trip report) absolutely loved them. It was really sweet because he would ask the CM very politely at the entrance to every ride Excuse me, is this ride scary? After KRR we strolled through the Maharajah Jungle Trek which again was awesome. Spent ages watching the tigers as they were really active. Have only ever seen tigers lying on the floor asleep in zoos before. Decided to call it a day after this as it was close to 5.00 pm when the park was closing anyway and headed back to the entrance stopping on the way to look in a few shops. On our way out of the park the Rainforest Café entrance looked very inviting so decided to stop off and see how long we would have to wait for a table and if it was really busy we would go elsewhere. There were only about 6 people in front of us at the podium and even though there were plenty of people inside we could see quite a few empty tables so decided to wait. Only waited about 10 minutes and got a good table in the middle of the restaurant. Children had pizzas and Brian and I shared a large pizza and salad which were OK, but nothing fantastic. Left the park about 6.15 and straight onto a tram and out of the car park. Another theme to the holiday was that we never rushed out of the parks at closing time, preferring instead to linger and let the crowds go before us. This seemed to work really well for us because the parks were closing so early and we still had time to do things in the evenings without feeling rushed. We had promised the boys, and Michael in particular who was itching to spend some of his holiday dollars, that we would go back to Downtown Disney tonight to the Lego shop so we drove back to the hotel and had another nice stroll down to the shops. The boys spent ages choosing their Lego, what a great choice there was in here. In the end Andrew chose some Harry Potter Lego and Michael chose some Star Wars Lego both of which we could have got in the UK but the prices did seem to be quite a bit cheaper here. Boys happy with their purchases we were all getting tired by now so another stop off at Ghirardellis for coffee and chocolate and back to the hotel and asleep as soon as our heads hit the pillows at about 9.30 pm. Tomorrow - Epcot

Banning bad reviews undermines the very purpose of reviews
In an interview with Poynter back at the beginning of November, BuzzFeed book editor Isaac Fitzgerald said that the site will not include negative reviews. "Why waste breath talking smack about something? You see it in so many old media-type places, the scathing takedown rip. If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all". Is this the right attitude to adopt? I won't even pretend that this is a rhetorical question. It is absolutely the wrong attitude, and any publication that adopts it does both itself and its readers a disservice.
Of course, Fitzgerald was talking specifically about book reviews, but the danger is that other publications follow suit. His justification for this line of thinking is that people understand that authors "have worked incredibly hard, and they respect that. The overwhelming online books community is a positive place". But this is hardly a reason to avoid negative reviews. The fact that someone has worked hard on something in no way means that it is automatically worthy of praise.
The "only good reviews" policy is also slightly dangerous. If a book -- or other product -- does not receive a review, why is this? Is it because it is bad, or simply because a review has yet to be written? In this scenario the absence of a review becomes almost more powerful than one that actually exists.
Should only products deemed worthy of adulation receive coverage? Is it not better that potential customers are warned about products that are below par or have issues? A website or publication that decides to publish only positive reviews opens itself up to accusation of sycophancy and even presents the possibility of writers finding themselves on the receiving end of allegations of bribery. Obviously this is something that could be the case with any positive review, but when writers are free to say what they think there is a degree of honesty that is just not possible with a move to positive-only reviews.
It's hard to imagine how such a policy could be implemented with a tech website. In order to determine whether a product is going to receive a good or a bad review, it needs to be evaluated. It is hard to imagine a writer with enough spare time on his or her hands to evaluate a product for a reasonable length of time, determine it's bad and then not bother writing a review. Having invested time in testing a product, there is going to be an understandable desire to write about it and be compensated for doing so -- hell… why not just gloss over the bad bits and write a glowing review?
There are very few products that will be worthy of an entirely positive review. Where is the line drawn? If there is an overall positive tone, a rating equal to 5 out of 10 or above, does that suffice? Featuring only positive reviews seems like a terrible idea to me. Sure, there is a lot to be said for trimming back on the unnecessary panning of products, but even this has its place. There is enough censorship in the world without self-censoring and failing to point out failings. Who does this help?
As a consumer I devour reviews -- for music, books, films, TV shows, computer hardware, apps. I want a properly balanced selection to choose from. If a site openly admits to including only positive reviews, its opinion is as good as worthless to me. Any credibility it may have had went out of the window the moment it decided that negativity is a bad thing. As a consumer I can learn from negative reviews, but so can companies.
If a tablet is not reviewed because it is "bad", how do we know why it is bad? What is bad for one person might be great for another. If a review points out the failing of a product in a negative review, the manufacturer -- as well as readers -- can learn from it. It's how products evolve, develop and improve.
Looking at the world through rose-tinted lenses, pretending only great products exist is an absurd editorial stance. It helps no one. If a site, newspaper or magazine says everything it covers is good, the value of that "good" rating quickly diminishes.
Rest assured that here at BetaNews we will never be anything other than completely honest in our reviews. If we love a product, it is because it is genuinely good, and we'll let you know why. If something is crap, we feel it is our duty to let you know. It is worth bearing in mind that reviews are almost completely subjective. A product I love may be hated by other people. But if I take the time to explain why I love something, readers have the opportunity to decide whether to agree or disagree with me, or just to use what I've said in their buying decisions.
Would you rather only hear about great products? If everyone decided to write only great reviews, would there have been no reviews of Windows 8? How would consumers know what to make of it with no points of reference? This is the very purpose of a review -- to point out the good and the bad. To focus entirely on one side of the story means you may as well do away with reviews entirely and just print a "buy these products" list.

ARC-Path Quiz
Posted 16 January 2008 - 05:25 PM
We search for the ARC-Path (as in boot.ini) to a Folder, let's call it simply 'Windows', which is located on a CD-ROM-Drive, which is connected to the secondary IDE port as Master.
Already filed in solutions (which were wrong! ):
- multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(2)partition(0)\WINDOWS="Secondary Master"
- multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(2)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Secondary Master"
- C:\WINDOWS="Secondary Master"
- \WINDOWS="Secondary Master"
- cdrom(0)\WINDOWS="Secondary Master"
- no boot.ini
Happy quizing!

Care for a few crazy ntldr oddities?
- When i put ntldr, ntdetect and boot.ini on a CD, i can't even boot a windows at multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS from it!
- When i run ntldr from HDD and try to boot multi(0)disk(0)cdrom(0)\WINDOWS, the floppy is accessed several times before i get told, that no hal.dll can be found.
All other values for cdrom() bring the error that the media can't be found.

Came finally up with the idea to rip the arc-path from a bootet pe.
It reads multi(0)disk(0)cdrom(239)
No idea were the 239 comes from, but will post back when i've tried it.
So stay tuned!
Posted 17 January 2008 - 12:38 AM
I just don't get it, this one should have worked. The arc-path was taken, after all, fom a successfully bootet PE, so it can't be wrong!
Can it be, that ntldr does not know the parameter cdrom?
Posted 17 January 2008 - 01:00 AM
Remove them if they are illegal.
Posted 17 January 2008 - 01:30 AM
Ok, what do 'we' learned so far?
- ntldr can start from a CD
- ntldr can read the boot.ini from a CD
- ntldr can not even start a system from multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS, if ntldr,boot.in and ntdetect are on a CD
- system just resets whenever an entry is choosen from boot menu, if ntldr, boot.ini and ntdetect are on a CD
- cdrom() parameter uses wierd numbers like 239 or 950 - reason unknown

Try using -iso-level 3 instead of -iso-level 4 when making the CD.
Be sure to add the /minint switch, maybe another switch is needed?
The "right" one should be multi(0)disk(0)cdrom(0):
Posted 17 January 2008 - 12:27 PM
Yes it should be, but, as posted, it leads to ntldr trying to read from the floppy drive.
The "right" one should be multi(0)disk(0)cdrom(0):
That sounds like an interesting idea. Will try. Though boot.ini can be read just fine.?
Try using -iso-level 3 instead of -iso-level 4 when making the CD.
Posted 17 January 2008 - 12:29 PM
What do you wanna tell me with that aeroxp? That i have 240 cd-drives in my computer?
NTLDR supports 3 digit numbers.

Just tried that. Result: CDBOOT: Couldn't find NTLDR. - No idea why!
Another couple semi-random ideas.
Try using -iso-level 3 instead of -iso-level 4 when making the CD.
Posted 17 January 2008 - 10:30 PM
If the arc path leads to an actually existing disk/partition but XP can't be bootet the error is :
<Windows root>\system32\hal.dll not found
This goes also for multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(0) as long as multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0) exists!
If the named disk/partition does not exist the error is something like: datastorage misconfiguered and not found.
With the parameter cdrom in the arc path, one never gets: datastorage misconfiguered and not found!
Still no explaination why all cdrom(x) creates access to the floppy.
Only cdrom(xxx) do not create access to the floppy. (Is this now good or bad? )
Posted 08 March 2008 - 09:58 PM
Thanks for the ideas posted so far, good stuff!
The path to cdrom(???) is what I was double checking today.
It appears you found a solution (ur pm), but it may or may not apply to another nt build.
I want to dual boot from cd with only windows files. Why not?
The postings were helpfull to read.
We'll see how it goes.
Posted 17 October 2008 - 06:11 PM
ARCPath => multi(0)disk(0)cdrom(240)
Here's some pseudo code about how it generates the odd CD ARCs.
if (!BootLoaderMnemonicFind(BootDevice, // Find the boot device "cdrom", // generate ARC Path &BootDriveNumber) // generate ARC Path
Posted 17 October 2008 - 06:20 PM
From the last couple of messages it seems like Medevil and thunn know more that what has been posted. Or was the game abandoned?
Posted 17 October 2008 - 07:31 PM
The only piece of info which i remember and is not posted here is the use of several boot.ini entries each with a different cdrom(???). There can be 8.
Else: Topic was abandoned because it's initial goal could not be reached without fixing ntldr. Ironicly the reason for this quest was, to find a way to have a different folder than i386 without fixing setupldr, as well as gaining access to the /Kernel and /HAL parameters.
btw. A way to set the %systemroot% to any folder name one wishes, without the need to fix a file has been found in the mean time and is part of NaughtyPE.
Posted 18 October 2008 - 04:22 AM
Make a folder named Windows in your Target Directory.
Copy everything to the Windows folder.
Remove everything in i386 EXCEPT setupldr.bin,ntdetect.com,txtsetup.sif.
In txtsetup.sif, under [SetupData], write
Posted 04 July 2009 - 10:51 PM
multi(0)disk(0)cdrom(224) - CD on Primary Channel
multi(0)disk(0)cdrom(239) - CD on Secondary Channel

(nothing working, but maybe something that can lead to something else)
Has someone been succesful in booting Windows XP (Embedded) from USB stick seen as FDD?
Update 1: I changed path in boot.ini to "multi(0)disk(0)fdisk(0)\WINDOWS". Now NTLDR says that "<Windows root>\system32\hal.dll" is missing or corrupt - it seems that the boot process from USB-FDD finally started!
Update 2: I copied the entire WINDOWS folder to USB stick. But the message about missing or corrupt hal.dll was still there. Then I deleted WINDOWS folder, manually created it, created system32 subfolder and copied hal.dll and ntoskrnl.exe ONLY. Now the booting process goes one step further - it shows "zebra" strip and then says "Windows could not start because of an error in the software. Please report this problem as: load needed DLLs for kernel". It's OK - there were no DLLs yet. The copying of entire folder contents does not help - Windows still cannot find needed DLLs. I believe it's the same problem as when it couldn't find hal.dll if the entire folder was copied.
Meanwhile, I made NTLDR boot XP Embedded to a certain stage. It seems that arcpath in BOOT.INI should read "multi(0)disk(0)fdisk(0)" when USB is seen as FDD (superfloppy).

Delhi Police commissioner Neeraj Kumar tendered an unconditional apology before Delhi high court on Thursday, a day after the court asked why no action was taken against him for failing to prevent the gang rape last month. Harish V Nair reports.delhi Updated: Jan 11, 2013 01:37 IST
Delhi Police commissioner Neeraj Kumar tendered an unconditional apology before Delhi high court on Thursday, a day after the court asked why no action was taken against him for failing to prevent the gang rape last month.
"I am tendering an unconditional apology on behalf of the commissioner and I bow my head before your lordship," Delhi Police counsel Dayan Krishnan told a bench of chief justice D Murugesan and justice VK Jain, which is monitoring the police probe into the incident.
Krishnan was flanked by deputy commissioner (south) Chhaya Sharma and many other police officials while tendering the apology on behalf of the commissioner.
The court was also angry at the two unsatisfactory affidavits filed by the police earlier without furnishing the details the court wanted.
Kumar later told HT: "The unconditional apology rendered by the police is for the inadvertent omission in the status report of the identity of the personnel aboard the PCR van which ferried the victims to the Safdarjung Hospital, and not for any alleged or seeming 'mishandling' of investigations into the case."
A 23-year-old woman was raped and assaulted by six men on a moving bus in south Delhi. She died on December 29 at a Singapore hospital. Police filed a chargesheet against five of the accused on January 3 accusing them of kidnapping, murder, gangrape, unnatural sex and dacoity. The sixth accused is a juvenile.
The bench accepted the police's apology and was satisfied with a fresh affidavit, detailing the action the police had taken so far against the errant cops and listing the names of policemen posted at the barricades and in the three PCR vans on duty on the routes the rogue bus travelled.
The police told the court that an assistant commissioner and three constables on patrolling duty had been suspended and probe against many others were also on. Angry at the failure of the police to prevent the gangrape, the bench asked counsel on Wednesday why only an ACP or a DCP had been suspended and why not the police commissioner.
