STRANGEBUTTRUE- On eggshells: What we say makes no sense
Q. Which would you say is riskier, "walking on eggs" or "walking on eggshells"? –H. Penny
A. For five centuries, people have been using the phrase "walking on eggs" to express the idea of "proceeding with extreme caution," as if tiptoeing on eggs to avoid cracking them, says Mark Davidson in Right, Wrong, and Risky. The modern mindless switch of the phrase to "walking on eggshells" connotes no literal risk whatsoever since the already cracked shells long ago surrendered their protected cargo.
Q. When dedicated researchers start "horsing around" with genomics, what might they turn up? –E. Arcaro
A. Thoroughbred horse-owners now have a new tool for predicting how their nags will do on the track, if they're willing to pony up 1000 pounds ($1,500) for a DNA analysis by Irish company Equinome, says Constance Holden in Science magazine. It tests for a "muscle factor" derived from the Horse Genome Project (HGP), to see if the animal has compact muscles attuned to rapid sprints or a leaner body more suited for endurance. Genetics researchers at University College Dublin reported that horses with two copies of a particular gene variant were more likely to win short races up to 6.5 furlongs (1.3 kilometers), whereas horses with other variants of the gene did better in races up to 13.5 furlongs (2.7 km).
According to the HGP, breeders have already adopted genetic tags for paternity, coat color and diseases, but performance prediction is new ground. Equinome co-founder Emmeline Hill reports breeders are now asking about genes for temperament, but that's not in the offing. "However, we are investigating gene associations for other parameters such as aerobic capacity," he says.
Q. Baseball brainteaser: When a starting pitcher pitches a complete 9-inning game, what's the minimum number of pitches he must throw? –R. Clemens
A. Assume he's with the visiting team and allows only one runner to reach base– on a home run– and loses 1-0, poses Wayne L. Winston in Mathletics: How Mathematics Is Used in Baseball, Basketball, and Football. Since he doesn't need to complete the ninth inning, he throws only 8 x 3 (outs per inning) + 1 (the home run) = 25 total pitches. That's plenty good for his weary arm and ERA but not for his W-L record or the home team's batting averages.

A 60-year-old Louisiana man was arrested on drunken driving charges after police nearly crashed into him.
Police said they found Edward Duke driving down a road in Houma on a riding lawnmower without headlights shortly after midnight Tuesday, Baton Rouge TV station WVLA reported.
He was arrested on charges of DWI and operating an unsafe vehicle after performing poorly on field sobriety tests.
While processing his arrest, officers found an outstanding warrant for Duke from a DWI charge six years ago in New Mexico.
He remained in the Terrebonne Parish Jail.

Default Browser
Can you make it open links in the default browser program instead of IE...
IE == bad, Firefox == good.
Or if too tricky to get working properly, give us an option to set what program to launch mailto, ftp, and http links in?
(Zmud and cmud both do this when using #url too afaik)

I have both IE and Firefox installed, and using #URL or clicking on the links open up in Firefox. mailto opens up in Thunderbird. Are you sure firefox is your default browser?

Vista Ultimate 64x, Firefox 2 (latest), Cmud 2.2# (6? i think)
I think there's multiple ways to detect the default, and the default installation of firefox (and even setting all the programs defaults correctly using the Vista UI) doesn't seem to capture properly. Have seen this in a few programs. Outlook throws an error but opens correctly (Therefore it can find it correctly, but is still buggy), MSN ads open in IE (so incorrect use there), yet all web pages and shortcuts on my local drive open fine. I can reproduce it easily (every time i install, you know, every 2nd week ;) will duble check #url now.. and nope, thats still IE.
Perhaps the easiest thing is a setting that attempts to autodetect until you set it. I can (almost?) guarantee that I wouldn't be the only one that has this issue on this particular setup.
Oh, and yes defaults are set proper

Both CMUD and zMUD are looking for what program is set in Windows to be assigned to the ".htm" extension. Sounds like your Firefox didn't get installed properly or something. I have Vista here and Firefox and links open in Firefox just fine. You might do a Google search on how to set your default web browser to get instructions on how to do it because it sounds like something is messed up in your Windows Registry that is preventing Firefox from setting itself as the default.
But I've always just used the default installer for Firefox and never had trouble, even on Vista, so I'm not sure what else to suggest.
Unfortunately, there isn't any good way for me to add options for this myself. I am using several 3rd party components and they all rely upon Windows being set up for the default browser correctly. I haven't looked at the detailed code in a while, but I'm pretty sure they look in the registry for the ".htm" extension entry and look at the entry for the "open" command for that file extension.
Also, you say it also happens in zMUD, but I've never gotten any bug reports about this in zMUD either, so I really think the problem is more unique to your computer than you might think.

Happened to me on ASUS G2S + Vista 64 Ultimate + z/cmud, and on ASUS M70SA + Vista 64 Ultimate + cmud (can't remember 100% if it was happening on the ASUS A2K + WinXP Pro + zmud, probably not, I think this is more a Vista compatability issue)
Every time it was just a default install of windows + cmud + firefox for it to act funny. I'll double check all the file extensions now and edit this post... Though if this is the case, it's still going to happen for alot of people, as I haven't done anything for IE to take over file extensions (I hate that software like I hate the plague, being a web dev ;) )
IE currently has:
.gif (again, goddamn I keep fixing that :( )
.url (are you using these?, I'll edit again after I check if firefox opens these)
So unless it's a gif, propriatary microsoft format, some xml, or the "url" option, it should be opening in firefox :) will check url now
Just changed .url, still opened in IE, .htm and .html both set to firefox, gonna try explicitly setting my browser in "program defaults" instead of telling it to use my "web browser" (which is set to firefox)
Ok, got it, I had to explicitly set firefox as the program by going Control Panel->Default Programs->Set Program Access And Computer Defaults->Custom->Use a default web browser->"Mozilla Firefox" (vs using "Use my current Web Browser")

I seem to recall something like that mentioned elsewhere for Firefox. But I'm not sure exactly what circumstances it is required. I just checked my Vista Business system and my default web browser setting is "Use my current Web browser" and it still works fine. So my guess is that there was still something fishy in your registry that you are overriding with this setting.
At least you found a way to get it working. Honestly, with all of the UAC crap and mirrored "compatibility" files and registry entries, I'm not even sure myself anymore how Vista works (or doesn't). It's possible that something just didn't get installed or run "as admin" when it needed to. It seems like I had to originally install Firefox by running the installer "as admin", but it's been too long ago to really remember.
I looked more closely at the code used by the #URL command in CMUD and here is what it is doing exactly.
It looks in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT registry area for the ".htm" entry. It takes the default value of that key, then appends "\shell\open\command" to it and fetches that registry key. It then executes this key (assuming it's a *.EXE file) with the URL passed as the first argument, or with %1 in the key value replaced with the URL
On my system, the default value of the ".htm" key was "FirefoxHTML". And the value of the "FirefoxHTML\shell\open\command" key was "C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILL~1\FIREFOX.EXE -requestPending -osint -url "%1"". In this case, the %1 would be replaced with the URL.
So, you'd need to actually open REGEDIT and look at the value of your HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.htm key to see what it is set to. Just looking at what extensions IE is using isn't good enough since who knows what registry entries that is really looking at.
For example, I've had a similar problem in Vista where I try to assign ZIP files to open in ZipGenius instead of WinZip. And even though ZipGenius "thinks" that the ZIP extension was assigned to it, no amount of telling it to assign the extension would fix it. I finally had to go into RegEdit manually myself and change the ".zip" entry to point at ZipGenius instead of WinZip. My guess is that there was some sort of permission problem. In Vista, each and every registry key has access permissions. And if these get screwed up, then Vista will just refuse to update a registry key that it thinks you don't have permission for (and often won't give you any message or indication of the failure). When you right-click on a key in the tree on the left side of RegExit, there is a Permissions menu entry that can be used to look for this problem. You'll notice that regular Users only have "Read" access to the keys. So unless Firefox is running "As Admin" or tries to elevate itself, it is not able to modify the ".htm" key itself.

Step 1 before I install anything on Vista is disabling UAC, and I always run as admin, so I don't think it's a permissions issue. Wasn't really saying this was a bug with cmud so much as a problem which cmud had the potential to fix. Either way, there's a solution on the forums now if anyone else runs into the problem, and I've filed a bug report with mozilla.
Thanks for the prompt replies Zugg :)

I do. I use Chrome for my regular web browsing but it's not the default. Firefox is my default and the MU* links open in there for me.

I just tried disabling Internet Explorer 11, and now the links don't do anything when clicked upon.
Chrome is set as default for all the things it can be set for.
Might be able to COM into it somehow, but there seems to be no native way to do this.

Nope :D
I haven't been able to solve it. I have Windows 10 and .htm, .html, web browser, etc all set to Chrome but everything opens in IE.

I've been having similar issues myself. My preferred/default browser is Chrome, and is set as such in the Control Panel for app defaults -- though, from something I noticed when trying to find something in the "store" (Windows 10 does something weird that way), it might only be looking for the '.html' extension, and '.htm' falls into the cracks of "windows default'. Clicking on a link in CMUD would launch the page in Edge ... I think. That had been the browser I changed my default FROM.
So, on a whim, I changed my default browser in the Control Panel, to FireFox, and tried clicking a link, and it opened in Chrome. Well, we were getting somewhere. So, I changed the default back to Chrome, and clicking on links within CMUD would then open in FireFox. Okay. I could live with that.
Then, completely unrelated, I had a system meltdown, and basically had to rebuild my computer. And, I tried the same trick when reinstalling my stuff. No such luck. While it started off using Edge to open links, changing my default to FireFox from Chrome didn't start opening links in Chrome, but used IE. :/ And changing back to Chrome hasn't changed that it wants to use IE for clicked links. I see mention that a solution is in the forums (from 10 years ago), but no reference as to where that solution can be found. Can someone point me to it?

Well, after completely rereading this topic, I'm guessing that the bit that Zugg gave about messing with the registry is the solution.
And, after looking at the registry keys, I hate MicroSoft more than ever - even if you're changing things in the Control Panel (which is only good for your personal settings), it defaults in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT to "value not set" - which apparently lets it use its preferred default of IE. (Though, initially. it was using Edge, which horrifies me even more than IE does.)
So, yes, you need to actually make the change in the registry, because it needs to be in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT -- the user registry location is not sufficient.

OK So after some playing around, I found Zugg was heading in the right direction with this... but to fix this on windows 10 I changed the following:
- For your existing account on the machine (Will Affect Your Existing Profile that's logged in) -
(Default) = ChromeHTML
(Default) = ChromeHTML
- For new accounts made on the machine (Will Affect new user accounts created) -
(Default) = ChromeHTML
(Default) = ChromeHTML
(Default) = ChromeHTML
I also changed .html to these as well to make sure

Just an Update here as i personally have changed to firefox:
(Default) = FirefoxURL-<ID>
(Default) = FirefoxURL-<ID>
to get the <ID> look here:
Select The Browser of your Choosing in this case Firefox-<SOME RANDOM ID>
Select Folder Capabilities then folder URLAssociations
Copy the Value from http and use that to populate the value for the following:
Using this method you can use any browser and get the values yourself as they differ from browser to browser
Windows 10 Pro
Tested with Edge, IE, Chrome and Firefox Quantum

Walking Tours
Civil War Tour of Leesburg
Richard Treat Gillespie
- Date: 03/16/2019 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
- Location: Thomas Balch Library
208 W Market St
Leesburg, Virginia 20176
With its key geographic location just two miles from the Potomac Frontier that divided the Confederate and United States, Leesburg was bound to see a good deal of the Civil War. A Walking Tour of Civil War Leesburg with Rich Gillespie will examine the surviving Civil War townscape and watch the War develop and engulf the county seat of Loudoun. In a circuit of the historic district, the emphasis will be on what the 1,500 residents of the town would have seen at various places and what they would have experienced during 1861-65. The two-hour chronological tour will provide ample spots to sit for the weary and will paint some vibrant historic portraits to keep people enthralled. Included in the tour will be three skirmish sites, outside stops at two churches, the courthouse lawn, "the best street in town," Harrison Hall where General Lee stayed, and the Episcopal cemetery.
Richard Treat Gillespie, former Executive Director for Northern Virginia's Mosby Heritage Area, is a founding member of Loudoun's Civil War Sesquicentennial Steering Committee. Before joining the Mosby Heritage Area Association in 2004, he taught US History and Economics for 30 years at Loudoun Valley High School in Purcellville, VA. A graduate of the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, he is a strong believer in melding the classroom, the community, and historic sites through heritage education. This tour will leave from Thomas Balch Library parking lot at 10AM. Note: This tour requires good walking shoes.

(written from a Production point of view)
Edward Wiley (11 July 1955 – 16 October 1995; age 40) was the actor who played Governor Vagh in the Star Trek: The Next Generation fourth season episode "The Mind's Eye" and Gul Toran in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine second season episode "Profit and Loss".
Wiley filmed "The Mind's Eye" between Tuesday 26 March 1991 and Thursday 28 March 1991 on Paramount Stage 9 and 16. When the 1994 Northridge earthquake struck Los Angeles, Wiley left the Paramount lot in his full Cardassian makeup while filming "Profit and Loss". (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages)
Wiley made his screen acting debut in the acclaimed 1981 film Chariots of Fire, co-starring future Star Trek alumni Dennis Christopher and Alice Krige. Later that same year, Wiley was seen in another acclaimed film, Ragtime, which also featured the likes of Brad Dourif, Robert Joy, Andreas Katsulas, and Ethan Phillips. His subsequent film credits include Tony Scott's The Hunger (1983, with Cliff DeYoung), the sci-fi comedy Morons from Outer Space (1985, with James B. Sikking), the cult hit Highlander (1986, co-starring Clancy Brown), 1988's Spies Inc. (with Alice Krige and David Warner), and Relentless 3 (1993, with Robert Costanzo).
In addition to his appearances on Star Trek, Wiley has also guest-starred on such shows as Hunter, Jake and the Fatman, and NYPD Blue. In the latter series (starring Gordon Clapp and Sharon Lawrence), he appeared in an episode with Stephen Root. He has a number of TV movie credits built up, as well, including The First Olympics: Athens 1896 (1984, co-starring David Ogden Stiers, Matt Frewer, and Mark Rolston), Pursuit (1989, with John Glover), Desperado: Badlands Justice (1989, with John Rhys-Davies, Robert O'Reilly, Gregory Sierra, James B. Sikking, and Time Winters), Blind Faith (1990, with David Andrews, Jefrey Alan Chandler, Gordon Clapp, Aaron Lustig, Dakin Matthews, and Jimmie F. Skaggs), In the Line of Duty: Siege at Marion (1992, starring Ed Begley, Jr.), Sniper (1993), Runaway One (1995, with Robert Beltran), and The Writing on the Wall (1996, with Penny Johnson). He also had a supporting role in the 1996 TV version of The Canterville Ghost, starring and co-produced by Patrick Stewart.

A few weeks ago the traffic coming to the new usv.com dropped off by 20 or 30% week over week. Brian and Nick were wondering if it was related to the new design we rolled out at the end of January. They decided to take a deep dive into our analytics to see what was going on.
I told them it had to be some sort of plumbing issue. Something that was hooked up to usv.com must have gotten unhooked. Because I have rarely seen the behavior of an entire user base change drastically overnight because of something like a redesign. Change can come pretty quickly, but in my experience it is months not weeks or days for something to drastically change in your user base resulting from a subtle product change/tweak.
They noticed in the analytics that front page views were steady but traffic to the article pages was off by a lot. I suggested that something in our twitter plumbing was off. And sure enough, we figured out that the autoposting of popular articles on usv.com to this twitter handle was broken (it is actually an RSS issue that is being fixed today).
I tell this story because we all encounter this sort of thing along the way of building and launching and growing a product. We make tweaks and something changes right away. That immediate change is usually related to something that brought traffic (google, twitter, rss, email, appstore) and not a design change. More gradual changes (up or down) are usually because of design changes.
There's a difference between these two kinds of effects and it is important to understand that.

Once you get these two new clone tools in hand and compare there is just no denying the difference, it's night and day.
It's pretty clear to me that the new clone looks more like the animated version than the movie version, and that the 2003+ SA release is more in line with the movie clones.But you know what, we all see different things! That's fine. I remember when people thought Monkey Leia was the best thing since sliced bread. I won't be army building the new clone but that's me. Especially at these prices. Nobody needs to get offended over anyone's opinion of the new clone trooper. We're supposed to all be chiming in our thoughts in these threads, that's what they're for.
I will not argue/debate personal preference of which clones ones prefer but the new Clone is more screen accurate in every regard, even his weapons are. Just look at the sculpts below with the movie shot, there is no denying it, event he proportions are more realistic: (DISCLAIMER TO ALL JD MEMBERS - IN THE STUPID AGE OF OVER SENSITIVITY MY POST IS NOT MEANT TO BE A FIGHT, TO BE RUDE OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN PERSONALLY. I AM JUST STATING STRONG OPINION BACKED UP BY COMPARISON EVIDENCE
The old one is still a nice figure (I still love the 442nd clones!) but if you are like me and want the most screen accurate figure the old clone does not cut it anymore.
The Clone there's a significant difference but I agree with Dressel that it's debatable as to which you like better.

Indy5 wrote:I know this is ever but as far as current caoches go, I would have to say Scott Medalen from Bishop Ryan is up there. He is an outstanding coach that always has a great gamplan. His teams usually have about 40 plays just in the half court against man! Bishop Ryan has been his only job coaching boys, before then he coached girls at DLB. Since he got to Ryan in the 04-05 season his team has been to regionals every year except for last. His first year there, they made it to the region championship and got beat in a close game by eventual state runner-up Bottineau. Bottineau barely lost to NR-S is the title game. His second year, they cam back and beat Bottineau in the region championship. (Bottineau was even better than the year before.) In his third year, he lost 3 main scorers and some good role players and they weren't expected to be that good. They ended up winning the region with a team full of Juniors(although they hadn't seen much time because of the great seniors the year before). They finished 3rd with their loss coming to state runner-up Trinity. His fourth year they won the region again and finished 8th at state. They lost in the first round to eventual state runner-up TL-M by 2 or 3. They did lose the next morning to Four Winds but I question how much effort they had in that game. It was a year they were suppose to win state, and they lost in the first round (to a team with 1 loss but still suffered that disappointment), then they had to come back and try to play the next morning. In his fifth year, they lost out in the district tournament. They were a team full of sophmores.
In his tenure, they have graduated their whole team twice. The first time, they came back just as good. The second time they came back and didn't make regionals. I think the main difference is the first time, the new team was mostly all juniors. The second time, the new team was mostly sophmores. As you can see, this year when that team is juniors, they are back to a state tournament caliber team.

This has nothing to do with preparedness or quality of coach.

(By Georges Moustaki—A French singer of Greek origin)
To have so often slept with my loneliness,
She is almost a friend, a sweet habit.
She is like a faithful shadow.
She follows me here and there, to the four corners of the world.
No, I'm never alone with my loneliness.
When she is in my bed, she takes all the space,
And we spend long nights, both face to face.
I really do not know how far this will go on, this complicity
No, I'm never alone with my loneliness.
Through her, I learnt as much as I shed tears.
If sometimes I try to put her away, I can't.
Should I choose the love of another woman?
Possibly on my last day, my last girlfriend?
But I never feel alone with my loneliness.
No, I'm never alone with my loneliness.

Autopsy Confirms Officer's Shot Killed BB-Gun Toting Man
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) - An autopsy has confirmed that a police officer's gunshot killed a 32-year-old Billings man who authorities say was reaching for a BB gun during a confrontation.
Yellowstone County Deputy County Coroner Chad Fehr said Tuesday that Jason Shaw died of a gunshot wound to the abdomen. Police say the shot was fired by Officer Grant Morrison.
Authorities say Morrison confronted a combative Shaw in a residential neighborhood early Monday. Morrison attempted to subdue Shaw with a stun gun but failed, then fired a single round after Shaw allegedly reached for a BB gun styled to look like a replica Walther P99 handgun.
A coroner's inquest will investigate if the shooting was justified.
Two other inquests are pending in Yellowstone County, including another officer-involved shooting last month and a county jail suicide.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Tennessee right tackle David Stewart was carted off the field after breaking his right leg on the opening series against the Houston Texans.
Stewart was blocking on a 26-yard running play by Chris Johnson when Texans linebacker Barrett Ruud rolled onto his right leg. Trainers put an air cast on Stewart's lower right leg, while a cart quickly came out to pick him up.
He was taken into the locker room for observation, and officials later announced Stewart had a broken leg. Mike Otto replaced Stewart.
The right tackle had started 103 games since being drafted in 2005.
The Titans had a second offensive lineman hurt in the first half when left guard Steve Hutchinson injured his right knee. He returned briefly in the third quarter when left tackle Michael Roos got hurt and limped off the field before returning on the next series. Titans receiver Damian Williams hurt a hamstring missing a pass as he went out of bounds and collided with a security guard. He limped to the locker room and will not return.
Houston cornerback Brice McCain, starting with Johnathan Joseph out, hurt his left foot in the first half. Officials said in the third quarter he will not return. Tight end Garrett Graham suffered a head injury and also is out.

Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen. The Office 2007 User Interface is locked down. We've seen the future, and it's quite ribbon-esque.
Moments ago Microsoft took the wraps off of the Beta 2 Technical Refresh (B2TR) build of Office 2007 (build 4407.1005). This is the last Office 2007 build we can expect to see before the final release sometime next year, and represents the almost-finished product. In particular, the user interface has been tightened up and frozen in terms of features. All that's left now is bug fixing and tweaking.
The new build is available for download, but Microsoft wasn't playing when they introduced the $1.50 download fee for Office beta downloads. This new update will cost $1.50 for newcomers to the beta program, but if you've already coughed up the dough for an earlier download, you're good to go: Microsoft won't be charging for this technical refresh. Existing users should note that earlier builds of Beta 2 can be updated with a simple patch. Barring use of the patch, B2TR will require a fresh installation.
According to Microsoft, more than 3.5 million people have downloaded Office 2007 in one form or another.
A Beta 2 Technical Refresh by any other name...
Microsoft's Jensen Harris, who is involved with the Office interface, said on his blog that users can expect the suite to work well on Vista RC1. According to Harris, the Beta 2 Technical Refresh brings the following user interface improvements:
- Improved support for the minimized Ribbon
- Visual redesign of the "Northwest" corner of the programs
- Double-click the Office Button to close the window
- Silver color scheme
- Redesign of the PowerPoint Home tab
- Improvements to default styles for all objects (pictures, tables, charts, SmartArt, headers,
footers, etc.)
- Quick Customize Menu
- New product icons
- Usability improvements to the Office menu
- Send button in the form in Outlook
- Over 1000 changes (most minor) to the content of the Ribbon
With all of this talk, one might wonder why we're not seeing a so-called Release Candidate or a "Beta 3." The short answer is this: those labels don't really mean anything at Redmond. Joe Wilcox has already hit on this cultural change at Microsoft, writing:
"I was told that Microsoft recognizes that it has plenty of work still to do on Windows Vista and that Release Candidate 1 is not a near final version. I was told that Microsoft's approach--perhaps, definition--of a release candidate had 'evolved.' I countered that Microsoft had changed the definition."
The point is, whatever Microsoft wants to call it today, this is the last public-facing test release we'll see from Microsoft.
The next time you download a giant install for Office 2007, it just might be for the final code. I can't help but wonder if all of this distribution testing isn't ultimately aimed at launching Office 2007 as an online download. Instead of $1.50, the price will be closer to $400 or more for a loaded package. Here's a recap of Office 2007's pricing and packaging, just in case you can't resist.

Does anyone have any idea where Maverick, Goose, Iceman and Charlie are? Because "Top Gun 2" is heading straight for us.
Tom Cruise is reportedly on board to reprise his role as Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, of the sexually conflicted, karaoke-loving flyboy, but only if it's a smaller part. Presumably, the task of rounding up Kelly McGillis, Val Kilmer, Meg Ryan and all the other stars who made the 1986 film a classic is underway.
The years have been kind to Cruise, but not everyone in the high-profile cast has weathered the quarter-century as well. Check out the gallery below to see how they looked then and how the appear today.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Then, sit back and wait for this project to come to life like the roar of a fighter jet's engine. It's going to happen. Paramount has approached producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Tony Scott, the creative forces behind the original, about finally making a sequel to the most successful and homoerotic Navy pilot film of all time, reported Vulture. And the studio is zeroing in on Chris McQuarrie ("The Usual Suspects") to write the script.
No one is working harder than David Ellison, son of Oracle founder and the sixth richest man in the world Larry Ellison, to make Cruise a huge star again. The scion was also the one put together the financing for "Mission: Impossible 4."
Just 3-years-old when "Top Gun" debuted, Ellison became a licensed pilot before heading off to USC's film school and founding his own production company, Skydance. His first feature, in which he also starred was "Flyboys," a WW I epic featuring James Franco--that nobody saw.
But before we dismiss Ellison as a dilettante, let's note that he's also one of the EPs on the Coen Brothers' upcoming "True Grit" remake starring Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and Josh Brolin.

For the meantime it's probably a nice challenge for most of us to follow the approach and write a bitmap generator... maybe it's even one day possible to do the modulation in realtime, in some cases it might be possible to let the GPU do some work... In any case the approach to use the video DAC for direct HF conversion is very interesting. It would be nice if somebody spends some time to do further research in this direction. Combined with the Oscar's multiplexer code and Marek's DSMCC/MHP carousel (both GPL'd on linuxtv.org) one day a complete playout center in software may become true. Assuming that it is possible to do the modulation in realtime on normal hardware in not too far future. Holger

I understand the potential for spoilers from some figures, and a movie studio's hesitance to reveal characters. But this does seem to be holding the line back a bit.
Here's a general question for those collecting the 3.75" scale Marvel movie lines: are you into having three seperate collections?Iron Man 2 did this with a Movie Line, a Comic Line, and a Concept Line.The Avengers line has done this, too. And seeing all of those stupid Reactron Armor Iron Man Concept figures warming the pegs has gotten to be ridiculous.The Thor line seems to have done away with the comic line, but still clung to the concept / alternate hero look figures.And the Captain America line still had three distinct classes of offerings.I for one have stuck almost exclusively with movie figures from all of these lines. There have been some select figures from the concept and comic series lines that I've picked up, but those are minimal at best. Has anyone else been doing the same?

Fables, Vol. 10: The Good Prince by Bill Willingham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Boy, oh, boy, was this a good one. When it comes to straight-up action/adventure, I have to give this volume top props.
In Sons of Empire, we learned that Ambrose, also known as Flycatcher, better known to us mundys as the Frog Prince, was destined for an important future. The Good Prince tells the tale of Ambrose's realization of his fate.
We take a trip down the Witching Well, and are reunited with characters that we thought were dead and gone from as far back as Volume 2, Animal Farm. The scope of the series has grown broader and more epic with each passing volume, and bringing back old characters from the dead is a great way to subtly point that out.
With the help of the Forsworn Knight, who turns out to be Lancelot of Arthurian legend, Ambrose returns to his homelands and establishes a new kingdom: Haven. He means for Haven to be just that: a place where people running from the oppression of the Empire can find sanctuary and solace. But the Empire isn't going to just let them be. There's action in the forecast, folks.
Willingham did such a good job of introducing us to Flycatcher early on in the series and painting him out to be little more than comic relief. But he then took the character and made him an unlikely hero, and did it in such a way that it was a complete and refreshing surprise.
It's also still clear that, regardless of what happens between Haven and the Empire, Fabletown will have to fight its own fight against the Empire. And preparations are being made for just that.
This volume moves the action along at a great pace, and it's my favorite of the series so far.

Bethenny is coming (back) to a TV near you.
After a six-week test run this past summer, Fox TV stations have picked up the daytime talk show from Bethenny Frankel to debut sometime in 2013, Deadline reports.
Although there was speculation that her show could launch during the more traditional fall window, the site reports there is also a possibility Bethenny could return as soon as January.
Bethenny talk show debut: Was it too over the top (even for her)?
The show is hosted by the former Real Housewives of New York City star, who also executive-produces with Ellen DeGeneres. Beginning in June, Bethenny aired for six weeks in a handful of cities including New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Dallas. The show will now be offered to stations in remaining markets nationwide, but will also have to contend with increased daytime competition from new shows including Katie, The Jeff Probst Show and Steve Harvey.

Ken Williams and his front office hoped Peavy would be back from a torn tendon in his ankle in time to help them chase down the Tigers and Twins, but were toast when he only returned to make three end-of-the-season starts. The White Sox see Peavy as a potential difference-maker in the playoffs, but now it appears he wouldn't be able to pitch even if they got to the playoffs this season. His strained lat muscle turned into a detached lat under closer inspection on Wednesday, and there's talk his aching shoulder will also need work. Ouch.

Jake Peavy may have shoulder problems too

Onerous Food Safety Rules Could Abolish Outdoor Access for Laying Hens
Cornucopia, WI – Today, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a draft guidance document to clarify how egg producers, including organic farmers with outdoor access, can comply with its 2009 egg safety rule aimed at reducing salmonella contamination in the nation's egg supply.
Since organic producers are required by federal standards to grant outdoor access to their laying hens, the guidance applies to all organic egg producers. The FDA, which collaborated with the USDA's National Organic Program in promulgating their guidance, recognizes minute covered porches, which do not afford true and meaningful outdoor access to laying hens, as one of four possible organic production systems and thereby legitimizes their use.
Already the focus of controversy and threatened lawsuits, the USDA has been widely criticized for allowing giant "organic" factory farms, confining as many as 100,000 birds to a building, to skirt the requirements for outdoor access by employing tiny screened porches, often with a capacity of only 1-3% of the confined birds. The USDA is currently allowing these giant poultry operations to claim these structures as the legally required "access to the outdoors."
"This is collusion between two Obama administration agencies to significantly and permanently weaken the integrity of the organic standards," says Mark Kastel, Codirector of The Cornucopia Institute.
"By giving the OK to use covered porches as 'outdoor access,' and putting additional burdens on producers with legitimate outdoor runs or pasture, the recommendations in this food safety document decisively tilt the playing field to industrial-scale producers," added Kastel.
Some in the organic community had been concerned that the FDA would require impractical swabbing and disinfecting of the outdoor areas but the draft guidance puts these concerns to rest. However, other prevention and control measures that are included in the guidance could force organic producers to devote significant additional resources, or may even make it impossible for pastured poultry operations to comply.
Stephanie Alexandre, a producer of certified organic, pastured eggs near Crescent City, California, objects to the draft guidance. "It's ironic that federal regulators would apply such scrutiny, and costly and labor-intensive requirements, to my farm when there is abundant published, peer-reviewed research indicating that the real danger to society, from salmonella contamination in eggs, comes from giant industrial operations, generally with caged birds, not with modest sized flocks of pastured poultry," said the organic farmer.
For example, despite weak scientific evidence that contact with wild birds is a significant risk factor for salmonella contamination, the FDA requires organic producers to minimize contact with other birds. The agency recommends noise cannons, temporary confinement, or netting, or even structures with roofs (porches) which would be cost prohibitive for most organic producers with meaningful outdoor access.

It is with sorrow that I am writing to let you know that Bishop Campbell, the Bishop of Lancaster, has refused Nick's request to resume news posting on Protect the Pope. Bishop Campbell has also stated that he does not want anyone posting on Protect the Pope on Nick's behalf.
Although I have been news posting on my own behalf on the site, I now feel unable to continue.
Protect the Pope will close as a news service on Sunday 4th May, the Feast of the English Martyrs to allow a short period for readers of Protect the Pope to say goodbye to each other.
Thank you (on my own behalf) for all the prayers, support and help we have received.
Please continue to pray for our Bishop.

Living conditions for the Roma and other minorities in Kosovo are characterized by poverty, joblessness, discrimination and a lack of prospects. The Roma have only limited access to education, medical care, housing, electricity and water. HEKS/EPER facilitates their inclusion in society by focussing on the areas of schooling, housing improvement, healthcare, vocational training and income support. Significant headway was made in 2015 with the ongoing integration of the 22 learning centres for Roma and other children developed by HEKS/EPER into Kosovo's educational system. Besides, there are now 500 beneficiaries under the scholarship programme that was originally launched for 80 students. In the Fushe Kosove Roma settlement, 85 families were able to renovate their small houses.
Over 1000 Roma children experiencing difficulties at school received remedial lessons in 2017.
500 received a scholarship for an apprenticeship or for higher education.

Greeting. 1* a Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: grace to you and peace.
Thanksgiving for Their Faith. 2We give thanks to God always for all of you, remembering you in our prayers, unceasinglyb 3calling to mind your work of faith and labor of love and endurance in hope* of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father, 4knowing, brothers loved by God, how you were chosen.c 5For our gospel did not come to you in word alone, but also in power and in the holy Spirit and [with] much conviction. You know what sort of people we were [among] you for your sake.d 6And you became imitators* of us and of the Lord, receiving the word in great affliction, with joy from the holy Spirit, 7so that you became a model for all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.e 8For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth not only in Macedonia and [in] Achaia, but in every place your faith in God has gone forth, so that we have no need to say anything.f 9For they themselves openly declare about us what sort of reception we had among you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true Godg 10and to await his Son from heaven, whom he raised from [the] dead, Jesus, who delivers us from the coming wrath.h
* [1:1] On the address, see note on Rom 1:1–7.
* [1:3] Faith…love…hope: this, along with 1 Thes 5:8, is the earliest mention in Christian literature of the three "theological virtues" (see 1 Cor 13:13). The order here stresses eschatological hope, in line with the letter's emphasis on the Lord's second, triumphal coming, or parousia (1 Thes 1:10; 2:12, 19; 3:13; 4:13–5:11; 5:23).
* [1:6] Imitators: the Pauline theme of "imitation" (see 1 Thes 2:14; 1 Cor 4:16; 11:1; 2 Thes 3:9) is rooted in Paul's view of solidarity in Christ through sharing in Jesus' cross and in the Spirit of the risen Lord.
a. [1:1] Acts 15:40; 16:1–3, 19; 17:14–15; 2 Thes 1:1–2.

Let's lead into this story saying how good it is to have a qualified friend in the computer business. And that is exactly what you get when working with BNY Tech.
I recently had an unwelcomed vacation from technology when my laptop would no longer take a charge. I was totally paralyzed without my computer. As luck would have it, I happened to be visiting the New Yorker Hotel on the 12th floor and as I stepped out of the elevator I came across a big sign advertising BNY Tech - experts in computer and phone repairs.
Upon doing some research I found out that BNY Tech offers certified Microsoft technicians. They have expertise in all areas of technology, and they offer better than competitive prices. Basically, they do it all: laptop repairs, PC and Mac repairs, phones and iphone repairs, projectors, data recovery, computer crashes, viruses, hardware and software upgrades and fixes. If it's broken they will find a solution. BNY Tech services offers 24/7 support in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island and they will even send a technician out to you. They were also featured as a City Search 'Best Of' selection in 2010.
The next day, computer in hand, I went knocking on their door, begging for help. I entered their workspace filled to the rim with computers, projectors, phones and all manner of technology. After telling my woes to the technician, I left my life in the hands of my soon to be heroes. In no time at all I got a call saying the power cord slot was broken and it needed to be repaired. But that was not all, my hard drive was shot, which explained all the trouble I had been going through. Now the power cord slot was an easy fix, but I needed a new hard drive or I ran the risk of permanently losing all my data.
I did what I always do whenever I have a computer question and called my tech guru who runs our Technology Sections. He told me to hang tight and he would see what he could do about a new hard drive. He called me back telling me that he had ordered from Seagate a new hybrid drive, their Seagate® Laptop Thin SSHD which was 5 times faster and had more space than my previous hard drive.
A day later my hard drive arrived. It's been a long time since I was so happy to have a package delivered. I grabbed it and headed into BNY Tech. After dropping my hard drive off, I found myself relaxed and able to breathe once more, as I was on my way back to work and to the 21st century. The next day I got the call I was waiting for saying my computer was ready to be picked up. It turns out that even with the new hard drive it wasn't the easiest of fixes. My old drive was so gone that the images were not appearing and in lesser hands I would have lost all my data. The professionals at BNY Tech were able to fix my power cord slot, save my data and install my new hard drive. Now I have a computer that functions much better than it had in ages. I feel very lucky to have found BNY Tech. Their quick work, knowledge and expertise proved invaluable to me.
I've had my computer back for a few days and am thrilled to say that it is running better than it has in a very long time. The power cord is snugly held in place and it is charging perfectly. The new hard drive is huge with oodles of space left, it is running perfectly. I also had them install more RAM so the programs are much faster than it they have ever been. It is like having a brand new computer at half the cost.
BNY Tech really came through for me. Their work was efficient, fast, professional and knowledgeable. The next time you are in need of something as minor as a cracked phone screen or major such as a crashed hard drive. Give them a try, they won't disappoint.

The Horny Awards are held anually to recognize excellence in the adult film industry. Winners receive a Golden Phallus, a trophy made of 24 karat gold, crafted in the shape of a penis. The Horny Awards, founded by Oscar Wilde, are among the oldest and most respected award shows and receive coverage on those sleazy pay per view porn channels.
The Horny Awards have surprisingly enough been around even longer than the Oscars. The first version of the awards was held only two years after the camera was invented. During this time, 500 of history's first movies had already been made, and 480 of them were pornos. However, at the time, these early pornographic award ceremonies were called the "Lustfulness Awards," and the porns released at the time would be considered G rated by today's standards (interestingly enough, a porn video from this time period was released as a kids' film early last year, and has become highly popular). Most of the videos featured people kissing each other. The most scandalous one featured women dancing in dresses that revealed their ankles, and was considered so raunchy at the time that it gave Mark Twain and several others heart attacks. The winner of the first ever Horny Award was Thomas Edison, who starred in a solo porn video called "Now THAT's an interesting place to be screwing in a lightbulb!" The awards were discontinued in the early 1900's, not to be revived until last year.
The Award Ceremony[edit]
The Horny Awards were revived last year in a sleazy brothel in New York City's red light district. They were hosted by critically acclaimed porn star and anti-censorship spokesperson, Ron Jeremy. Those attending the ceremony became frustrated with Jeremy, for he spent most of the ceremony trying to promote his already five-year-old film, "Hairy Lesbian Cannibals: Part IV." The show began with a five minute montage of the raunchiest sex scenes in porn history set to the track, "Bow-chicka-bow-wow". A surprise guest appearance was made by TimeCube prophet, Gene Ray, who inexplicably delivered a nonsensical lecture on the nature of the TimeCube. He was immediately booed offstage. At the end of the award ceremony everyone attending was invited to come onstage and participate in an enormous orgy. By the end of the orgy three men had died after being sodomized with the Golden Phallus trophy by Oscar Wilde who was in a state of drunken celebration after winning the award for best actor. It took 3 weeks for 200 custodians to clean the resulting semen off the stage. Despite the controversy resulting from the deaths, the Horny Awards will be held this year in Las Vegas.
2006 Award Winners[edit]
Best Picture: 2001: A Space Orgy
Best Foreign Film: Osama Al Khali and the 47 Virgins
Best Actor: Oscar Wilde (The Few, The Proud, The Nude)
Best Actress: Paris Hilton (Another Blurry Sex Video)
Corniest Plot: Grinding Nemo
Worst Title: Grinding Nemo
Best Director: Unrelated Quote Guy and Peter Bogdanovich (Sex Seafood--suprisingly enough, not a porn film at all. However, one of the officials responsible for giving out the awards found lobsters to be incredibly arousing, and so gave the award to the pair anyway.)
Best Sex Scene: Adam and Eve: Young Lust (scene in which Adam, Eve, and Satan disguised as a snake have a threesome in the Garden of Eden)
Best Bassline During A Sex Scene: Giant Plastic Boobs {no specific scene)
Most Disturbing Sex Scene: The Secret Sexcapades of Yoko Ono and Steven Hawking (no specific scene)
Future Award Ceremonies[edit]
The Horny Awards have been steadily growing in popularity since last year's awards. "Adult movies actually have a lot of artistic value," says Svelma Nipples, a professor of pornography at the University of Michegan. Pornography has become a valued course at many of the nation's top schools, and as the popularity of porn has increased, so has the popularity of the awards. This year's awards ceremony will take place in the basement of the building in which the Oscars occur. Many new categories will be introduced, including most realistic fake boobs, best cum shooter, best fake orgasm sound maker, and best vagina.
