The Arizona Cardinals' logjam at quarterback is loosening up. Just a few weeks after letting go of John Skelton, the team has decided to release Brian Hoyer, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport.
Hoyer did a remarkably competent job starting for the Cardinals in Week 17 last year. That created some overheated speculation that Hoyer might be a factor on this year's restricted free-agent market. Rapoport also reported the Cardinals shopped Hoyer around to teams, but apparently there were no takers.
The Cleveland Browns might be a possible suitor; GM Michael Lombardi has said positive things about Hoyer in the past. (Although it might not be his decision to make.) The Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly wanted to sign Hoyer earlier this offseason, but they since have picked up Bruce Gradkowski and drafted Landry Jones. We'd expect Hoyer to sign with some team before long.
The Cardinals will enter camp with Carson Palmer, Drew Stanton and Ryan Lindley on the depth chart at quarterback. For those scoring at home, that's two new guys, and the youngest holdover option. Kevin Kolb, Skelton and Hoyer all are gone. Sounds about right.

Twisted Sister
1. Collision of important Career Activities and important Family Activities. Recent example: A month or so ago, I wrote about how I had agreed last fall to give an invited talk at a conference in the summer. In fact, I also made plans for students, postdocs, and me to visit international colleagues to do Research directly after this conference. Months after making these plans, my brother got an awesome new job involving being in charge of some major military stuff. There will be a party. The party will be exactly during my conference and international travel.
My family thinks I should go to my brother's party/ceremony, but to do so would require backing out of several commitments involving the conference, not to mention research travel and activities that require my presence and active participation. If I had known about the ceremony/party thing last fall, I would have made different plans, but by the time the party was announced, I felt it was too late to change plans. Because I refuse to cancel or change my plans, my family thinks I am making a statement that my family is less important than my career.
None of the women of my mother's generation or older ever had a career, so I suppose they can't imagine making this choice, nor can they imagine that for me it isn't as simple as Career > Brother. Even if I say that's not the case, actions speak louder blah blah blah.
I tried to convince a friend to go to the party and impersonate me. All she would have to do is stand around and make the occasional sarcastic comment, and no one would notice she wasn't me. Alas, the opportunity to go to a party with my family on a military base was not alluring.
Earlier this spring, my travels brought me to my brother's city of residence, but he was out of town on business so I didn't see him. No one (including me) suggested that he change his plans, but one relative remarked at my poor planning to schedule my visit while my brother was away, as if I had a choice. In my family, men have Careers and women work if they want to, but it's kind of an optional activity that somehow isn't as serious as what the Men do. The fact that I do this bizarre professor/science job makes it even harder for my family to understand what I do.
I know that my relatives are proud of me for having a Ph.D. and being a professor, but then something like this recent event happens and these feelings of pride are overridden by more fundamental feelings about how things should work in a Family.
So, I am not going to my brother's party, though I will think of some appropriate way to congratulate him. For his last promotion, I got him a chainsaw woodcarving, so I have set the bar pretty high for myself in terms of gifts. In contrast, my brother, who has not similarly acknowledged my advancement in my career, has set the bar pretty low in terms of his gifts to me, so I am not too stressed about this. (though I will accept suggestions, as long as they are bizarre yet tasteful)
2. My so-called career has taken me away from the region of the country where the rest of my family lives, so I really must not care about them all that much. I suppose there are many places in the country/world like this, but few people move away from the place where I am from. I am sure more young people leave it now than 20-30 years ago, but most of my friends from high school still live in or near our town. There's nothing wrong with that, of course, but the part I don't like is that people who do choose to leave are seen as turning their backs on their home. When I decided to go to college in a different state, more than one person said to me, more as a statement than a question "So we aren't good enough for you?".
I left home long ago (by choice) and have not returned to live there (by the vagaries of the academic job market), and this fact has repercussions to this day. For example, a few years ago I tried to talk to my mother's doctor about my concerns about her deteriorating memory and cognitive abilities, and instead got a lecture about how, because I have chosen to live elsewhere, I can't possibly really care about my mother and so it was a waste of his time for this doctor to talk to me because I was probably just trying to ease my conscience about living so far away. [note: 'far away' in this context means anything more than a 45 minute drive]
There are a lot of great things about growing up in a fairly small place, but people there can be a bit unforgiving if you leave.
I am doing pretty well at being a professor and a mom, but perhaps not so well at being a daughter and a sister. I don't think I am a terrible daughter/sister, though, despite some drops in my approval rating in recent family opinion polls. I visit my relatives*, keep in touch by phone/email, enjoy sending gifts and cards for various occasions and non-occasions, and feel reasonably well connected to the rest of the family**. Right now, my approval rating is probably as low as it has ever been, but I am going to hang in there until not even one relative is willing to vote for me. I seem to be channeling Hillary Clinton and that is not good. It must be the stress of having 82% of my family annoyed with me right now.
* Way more often than my brother does, though I realize it is neither constructive nor mature to point this out.
** With the exception of a cousin who carries a concealed weapon and has read nothing but golfing magazines for the past 15 years, and another cousin who was living in a shed and found God ("In the shed?" I asked, causing a further drop in my family approval rating) and who now wants to travel the world distributing Bibles to desperately poor people in violence-torn countries.

What about a Smush Bush doll, preferably from a Democratic convention....bizarre, possibly tasteful, and linked to the stress fish he got you. I have no idea where you would get one though.
- chall said...
I think, and I am saddened to say, you nail it when you say "it seems to be ok to have a career as long as you understand that family always come first" [my interpretation of quote since I didn't copied and pasted it].
I further think, after reading your posts, that you would have maybe cancelled the trip if it only would have affected you (and your own family) but since it concerns post docs and students that is not really the thing now, is it? It seems like there are more than acknowledging the fact that you have a career as a prof but what it really means, i.e. responsiblities.
I understand if you would've gone to yuor brothers going away party then again, it isn't like you got to choose from "do A or B" since A was already decided and B came up later... I really hope that your family understands the difference.
For me I can say that the moving away from home town has meant similar experiences, and especially since I moved from a Big city to a smaller one (granted to a town with a 'prestigeuos' university when I did my undergrad). When I decided to move across the world to pursue a post doc half of my family/friends stated "why would you want to move that far away from us" whereas the other half said "as long as you return and don't stay there"...
And yes, I do think the fact that you are a woman (and by that mainly responsible for your parents as well as your children) plays into it. I wish you luck in getting the message across and hope that you can enjoy your family as well as your job as a prof!
- Janus Professor said...
The best gift you can give is time. If you can't go to the party (which sounds pretty droll), why not visit one weekend relatively close to when the party would have been? Bring your whole family if that is possible.
I live more than 1500 miles from my family, so the best I can do is regularly call and visit them (Christmas and Summer) them. Even if I have nothing to talk about, the time spent on the telephone means something.
- Psych Post Doc said...
My brother and sister in law did not speak to us for 6 months because we didn't make it to their daughters 1st birthday party.
We moved that weekend, both cars broke down, and we would have had to drive 6 hours each way in 2 days. Um.. hello??!!
Isn't it strange how just living our lives is somehow meant to insult everyone who ever cared about us?
your post makes me so mad, and not so much on behalf of you (it's all about me, you see).
I get the same thing with respect to my husband. I don't have any brothers and one of my sisters is a stay-at-home mom, the other is unmarried and works a pink collar job. Very respectable choices. My mother worked out of the home most of her life, starting from an age that would probably challenge child labor laws, but has never stayed at a job for more than a couple of years. It is not surprising that she doesn't get the career thing.
What is surprising is that she is extremely protective of my husband's work time, telling me how selfish I am if I ever ask him to be home after merely 10hrs of work (because I need him there because I have a late talk/dinner, for example), and how selfish I am that I always put my job before my kids . I nearly had a conniption when she gave me that on the third day in a row I left work at 3PM so I could be home early to help my son with his science fair project.
On the other hand, it isn't easy for my husband either. While he was a stay-at-home dad, he was worse than a pariah, very much just a joke, among my family and his.
- Jenny F. Scientist said...
Wow. You have some pretty... interesting... relatives. I like the one in the shed the best for sheer nuttery.
How about a dummy grenade for your brother?
- L said...
Hell, I'm male and I can't believe the way your family treats you. I mean, my in-laws are a little like this -- in fact, they would be a lot more like your family if they'd had any sons, I suspect -- but still.
Every time you tell one of these stories, I get some serious sympathy pains. Tell you what, you can come to Nebraska for Christmas, drink lots of home-brew, and play with our cats. They're very friendly and are not likely to make comments about your professional life.
Also: "In the shed?" I guffawed. Well played, very well played.
You know, it's not even just all the notes you've made and the comments previous, which I do agree with. I think your family would have the same problems and different complaints if you were focused just on your daughter and not your career. There's a big difference between a a career and a job, but beyond that, your family is likely to never accept that your family now operates in a way that they are totally unfamiliar with and cannot understand, so will not accept as valid. Your parents and siblings are naturally still important, but your husband and daughter rely on your as THEIR primary family; and you, they.
Some families never really learn to cope with the kids turning into adults.
Families can be funny things. I have had a dream to be a nuclear physicist since school, and now have by BSc and have approaching a nuclear power company to join their graduate scheme.
My family have been very supportive up to now, but my mum recently asked how I was going to commute, by car or train ? I told her that the nearest power station I could be posted to is aout a 2 hour drive away, and there is no guarantee that I will be based there, I could be sent to the other side of the UK.
It seems that following your dreams is ok, so long as it does not take you too far from home.
- Lisa said...
Maybe too expensive, but what about a robotic lawn mower such as robo mow or lawnbott for your brother?
- Professor in Training said...
I feel your frustration. I moved halfway around the world for a postdoc and am planning to stay indefinitely for my cool new tt gig and while my parents and sister are extremely proud of my accomplishments I am still getting questions such as: (1) "when are you going to come home and settle down?", (2) "why can't you make it for Christmas, your mother's/father's/sister's/nephew's birthdays?", (3) "why can't you visit for longer than two weeks?", (4) "your grandmother/uncles/aunts/cousins want to see you while you're at home ... if you have time".
I should point out that the answers to the above questions include: (1) never and never, (2) I can't go home 5 times a year, (3) because one day is usually enough, (4) NONE of these people have even bothered to email or call me so why would I fly 24 hours and then drive another 10 hours to see them?
Grrrrr. Families. Can't choose 'em. Can't kill 'em. Such a conundrum.
- Heather said...
I'm impressed you haven't gone ballistic on your mother's doctor. If he'd said that to me I'd have either strangled him with his stethoscope or said "Hey, you got me. I'll slip you an extra 20 if you promise to prescribe the ultra-strength laxative for Ma next time she comes in, still gotta get back at her for all those dates she embarrassed me in front of when I was a kid, wink wink."
I'm impressed that you haven't gone ballistic on your family for that matter. I don't understand families that have these huge problems with whatever their individual members choose to do with their lives, and let it ruin their relationships with them. I know a couple of people who have relatives like this, who insist that family is first, and then treat their family members like crap, and I'm always astounded when they tell me stories about how horrible one of their family members was to them. I ask, "why didn't you say something?" The response is always something like, "It wouldn't do any good." I have trouble accepting this, coming from a family that is either understanding of or at least not openly antagonistic about choices that their family members make. The assumption is that they're adults, and we're family, and whatever time we can make to see each other is fantastic, even if we wish it were a little more often. Sometimes we don't get to do everything we'd like in order to succeed, or we made a prior commitment long before they invited you to something and you need to be there. How is it that some people don't get that?
- Squeaky Wipers said...
Interesting post. Please be assured that you are not alone in your situation.
With my family, at some point the nosy aunts assigned my cousins and me our "value." I was to be the peon who was suppose to take care of the elderly population of our family when I grow up, and my male cousins are to be the scholars and professionals.
At a young age, I resented this. I loved to learn, I loved to go to school, and I sought to make something of myself. In retrospect, I guess my academic achievements were fueled by my resentment of the preordained life assigned to me by my aunts. Fortunately for me, Oprah taught me about self empowerment, and all that sappy stuff.
I moved away for college, I moved away for work, and I'll be moving away for grad school.
My younger male cousin is deemed to be the brightest and most successful of all. He's in highschool, and homeboy has a tutor for english, math, and science. He will soon have a tutor to teach him to take a crap.
Not only have I never had a tutor, I worked my way to support myself through college.
I guess our challenges make us that much stronger, but it would've been nice to have had the family support. Although the reality of my family saddens me, it make me so much prouder of all my achievements.
In my family, I interpret most digs about leaving, not coming home, and being "too good" for them as insecurity about their own choices to stay, have unfulfilling jobs and lack of worldly exposure. It helps that I brought my mother to live near us after a period of employment difficulties in the hometown, fulfills my duty to 'take care' of family.
Probably wouldn't help to point out that they might feel differently if you were a brother with job expectations instead of a sister (i.e., their criticism is sexist). Or ask why didn't they consult you about when to hold the party!
Hooboy, I think we're related.
Am I missing something if I wonder why they didn't schedule the party so that you could make it?
May I suggest a bobblehead made in his image? It's certainly bizarre, and depending on the body you pick - could be considered tasteful.
- Professor Staff said...
There seems to be a pattern here.
I too:
- live/work a long way from hometown/state (too far to drive)
- feel I do a decent but workable job balancing family and work
- but am considered "the lousy son" who is "too busy" to do family things
I could cite many examples similar to yours.
Several other professors (male and female) that I work with also share these attributes. So maybe this is common for academics.
One things we (my coworkers in similar situations) have in common is that we all come from New England (where 45 minutes in a car is a "day trip"). There is a cultural provincialism that is pervasive among folks from various parts of those states (including my family!)
How about a plush toy of his favorite pathogen?
My favorites are yeast, chicken pox and the common cold.
- Ms.PhD said...
I SO identify with this post.
I gave up a long time ago on having my family approve of me being far away or anything I want to do with my life. If anything, I should have given up sooner, it would have made a huge difference in my life. (Perhaps I should be in therapy to deal with that, it is probably holding me back.)
I don't think you have to be from a small place to get these guilt trips about leaving, I get those too.
MrPhD's family is funny, they are very close knit but don't expect us to move back to where he's from. Instead they come visit us for ridiculous lengths of time, and never ask when is a good time to come. So far I've succeeded in cutting the visit length in half, but it's still too much for me.
I also don't think you should feel bad, for even a millisecond, about missing the stupid party. I hope you don't.
I laughed hard at your idea of sending someone in your place to stand around and make sarcastic comments. That sense of humor is really a priceless quality, I admire that you manage to make light of these things.
I am currently getting the same crap, my family wants me to send gifts to a relative for a personal achievement I really don't care about. She never emails or calls me except to brag, and only sends the most perfunctory gifts, and only on major holidays.
Unfortunately my family is not as amusing as yours in the department of gifts. I'm sending some books with a quirky science twist on a relevant topic. I figured even if they sit on a shelf somewhere, it makes a statement.
- Female Science Professor said...
I am VERY intrigued by the bobblehead idea. I think I am going to have to acquire one or more custom bobbleheads of/for my brother and/or his wife/kids. THANKS for the idea, aceon.
I... don't really understand why it would have been so hard for your parents (who I assume organized the party) to ask you when you might have a hole in your schedule to come down (like, I don't know, 1 week later/earlier).
It seems completely rational to try to make sure at least the entire nuclear family has no prior engagements... Or is there a particular reason the party MUST be on that date?
- Female Science Professor said...
I should have specified that the party isn't being organized by my family -- it's an official military ceremony thing. No one in my family had a choice of the date.
Bizarre, but tasteful you say? Did you mean something like this?
- Citronella said...
When I visited my boyfriend's family (for last Christmas), there wasn't a single member of the family who did not ask him "so when are you coming back?". They can't understand that he is not. He cannot be a high-tech engineer in the effing middle of nowhere, he hates the weather there with all his guts, and he has no intention of, like his "good" brother, marrying a local girl, settling in a house no more than a few miles away from his parents, and seeing various relatives all the time.
(Plus, we have no intention of marrying each other or even living together, but we haven't really told them how "casual" a couple we are...)
Dear FSP, this is a beautiful blog, sometimes you write posts like this that absolutely kill me! Being a good child/sibling to a difficult family can be an awful task and you I am perpetually shocked at how well you do it.
Hah! I am delighted to be of service.
- Davey Jones said...
I'm not even done with my B.S. and I've already started to hear this. I had to just tell them how it is, I live x hours away, I make less than 10,000 a year, and am trying to support myself through college, you make 5 or 6 times what I do...you drive up. Mom got it, Dad didn't.
Its cold, and it isn't really fair to them. I made my choices and I knew I wouldn't be able to see my family, and I know it will only get worse for me in the future, its a sacrifice I'm willing to make in order to do what I want to do. However, I never asked them to make that sacrifice. Don't get me wrong, I don't feel to need to ask my family's permission, but they are losing as much as I am, but they didn't choose to.
I have to laugh when my dad asks if I will graduate in four years, for some reason that is important to him and I don't know why. He asks every time he calls me.
- Principle Investigator said...
Oh, this sounds so familiar, no pun intended. I was lucky enough to land a t-t position at a very good SLAC this year. Unfortunately, it's diagonally opposite the continent from my hometown (where my parents and sister still live). There was one particularly difficult conversation in which I was told I obviously didn't "try hard enough" to get a job closer to home. I had to tell my father that he had no idea how academia worked and he was just going to have to trust me that I did indeed try, for my boyfriend at the time as well as for my family and friends. Actually I consider the lack of control over job location to be THE major drawback of an academic career - not the perspiration or the renumeration but the situation. Blech.
However, in your case, it seems clear that you had made previous commitments (to your academic family, in a sense) and that keeping them in no way implies that your brother is less important to you.
- Global Girl said...
Hmm, I had no idea so many people's families want them to be so physically close to them. In college, my family was on two different continents and that was, well, normal. My parents have zero expectation I will live close to them and I have zero expectation of the same. For us, careers are the big people movers - the family member who would ask someone to give up something Career-related would seen manipulative and uncaring. (One family member does, and this is the general consensus. It's manipulation.) Evidently, I'm lucky.
- Sophia said...
as a first year grad student, i think i can identify with your sentiments, and that scares me a little! how do you stop or slow this train wreck waiting to happen at this stage? this is not technically my career per se, and already i'm feeling the heat to choose.
FSP--so the odd thing in my family is that my father is an academic and my mother is the only one of her siblings to get a college degree. She was the uber-volunteer-involved mom when I was young and worked at various jobs when I was in HS through grad school. And it wasn't until my second child was about 5 years old that it dawned on her that I WAS NOT GOING TO LEAVE MY CAREER TO STAY HOME WITH MY CHILDREN. Honestly, the only explanation I can offer is that she really thought grad school and research scientist career was just a hobby until I got "settled".
So these attitudes can come from ANYWHERE! And if you can't find God in a shed, where can you find him?!
- Professor in Training said...
At the risk of offending people, I've also got a lot of cousins/aunts/uncles who have "found God" in all sorts of strange places. My standing within the family took a sharp nose dive several years ago when one of my uncles was showing photos of his daughter (my cousin) in a pool getting a good dunking by a strange man wearing a very skimpy bathing suit and displaying a LOT of chest hair. I had missed the introduction to the slide show and was therefore totally unaware of the context and just blurted out "you drove 12 hours to go to a pool party?" to which the inevitable reply came "these are photos of cousin XX being baptized".
My parents struggled to contain their giggles but my uncle was NOT amused in the slightest. Still makes me laugh even now.
Am thinking of taking up your suggestion of hiring a stand-in for family occasions who would just stand around making sarcastic comments.
- Shay said...
Seriously. You're a respected academic professional in a position most science professors (male or female) would kill for.
Sorry. I'm just tired of the way our gender beats itself up over something as unimportant as what our families think of us.
Screw 'em.
- Victoria said...
Goodness, I suspect that FSP cares what her family thinks of her because she loves them and does not purposefully want to cause them pain (however dense they may be).
I wonder if something else happening here is that the Military is oh-so-much-more respectable than Academia. Horowitz didn't write a diatribe about the 100 Most Dangerous Generals (only 100?!). We don't stand up at concerts etc and thank the dedicated professors who spend their lives making discoveries that improve the world and teaching young people.
My sibs are both in the military and I'm in academia...a lot of the time *I* get sucked into wondering why I didn't do something more important, "like they did!" Fortunately, my parents are just as proud of me as of them, so the self-doubt is entirely self-imposed. Sorry, FSP...not that it makes up for family not understanding, but your admiring public is glad you do what you do!
- Alethea said...
Yet another "I hear you loud and clear".
Just to add another to the list.
Grit your teeth and make your own choices. You can live with some disapproval. I get it too, even in a family where Brother has traveled widely and most close relatives *do* have a graduate degree. So it's not really dependent on education, in my opinion. More on your right to be an individual relative to your obligations as a member of a social structure.
- Carrie said...
MY family has been great about understanding that sometimes I have to travel somewhere and may miss an event, and that does NOT mean that career > family. My dh's family, however. We've even given them blackout dates for family events because I knew I had a conference then, and they planned the event for the date, and then gave me greif on why I wasn't enabling dh to attend (because he didn't want to go without me).
Re: moving-back-home. Some of it is because they truely do MISS YOU. I live on a small island in the middle of the Pacific -- it is effort to see my family and I understand why they ask me when we're moving back. But I also get annoyed when they ask every month and I've indicated we don't have plans to move back anytime soon. But they do it out of love.

Marinemax (HZO - Snapshot Report), a Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) recreational boat and yacht retailer, has outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate over the last four quarters by an average surprise of 78.2%. The company boasts a solid year-to-date return of 14.9%, impressive fourth-quarter fiscal 2012 results and advancing estimates for fiscal 2013.
On November 1, Marinemax delivered a fiscal fourth quarter loss of 7 cents per share, which was narrower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate for a loss of 13 cents. It also showed a significant improvement from a steeper loss of 23 cents in the year-ago quarter, thanks to effective cost management and streamlined operations. Revenue for the quarter came in at $137.3 million, topping the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $126 million and rising 15% year-over-year. Comparable-store sales climbed approximately 18%, compared with a 2% decline in the year-ago quarter. Gross profit grew 10% to $33 million from the prior-year quarter, whereas operating loss improved to $649,000 from a loss of $4.8 million.
Forbes Dividend Stock Daily serves up fresh dividend picks every trading day. Average yield of recommended stocks, REITs and MLPs is 5.8%. Click here for a special membership offer from Steve Forbes.
Earnings Momentum Climbing
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2013 rose 20% in the last 30 days to 24 cents per share, as all 4 estimates were revised higher. The current estimate reflects a staggering 385% year-over-year increase.
Reasonable Valuation
Marinemax currently trades at a forward P/E of 31.88x, reflecting an 80.8% premium to the peer group average of 17.63x. Also, on a price-to-book basis, shares trade at 0.91x, a considerable discount to the peer group average of 1.44x. Again its price-to-sales ratio of 0.35 is at a discount to the peer group average of 0.47. The company's strong fundamentals are also justified and well supported by its long-term estimated EPS growth rate of 15%. A compelling valuation is making the stock look attractive.
Chart Overview
A look at the price and consensus chart reveals that the stock price remains below fiscal 2013 and 2014 earnings estimates, suggesting that the stock is still undervalued. Currently, the stock price is in the range of $6.00–$8.00, and has generated a healthy year-to-date return of 14.9%, significantly higher than the S&P 500's return of 8.1%.

Debugging environments
After you install Visual Studio and the WDK, you'll have six available debugging environments. All of these debugging environments provide user interfaces for the same underlying debugging engine, which is implemented in dbgeng.dll. This debugging engine is called the Windows debugger, and the six debugging environments are collectively called the Windows debuggers.
Note Visual Studio includes its own debugging environment and debugging engine, which together are called the Visual Studio debugger. For information on debugging in Visual Studio, see Visual Studio debugger. If you are looking to debug managed code such as C#, using the Visual Studio debugger is often the easiest way to get started.
Windows debuggers
The Windows debuggers can run on x86-based, x64-based, or ARM-based processors, and they can debug code that's running on x86-based, x64-based, or ARM-based processors. Sometimes the debugger and the code being debugged run on the same computer, but other times the debugger and the code being debugged run on separate computers. In either case, the computer that's running the debugger is called the host computer, and the computer that is being debugged is called the target computer. The Windows debuggers support the following versions of Windows for both the host and target computers.
Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016
Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2
Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012
Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2
Symbols and Symbol Files
Symbol files hold a variety of data which are not actually needed when running the binaries, but are very useful when debugging code. For more information about creating and using symbol files, see Symbols for Windows debugging (WinDbg, KD, CDB, NTSD).
Blue Screens and crash dump files
If Windows stops working and displays a blue screen, the computer has shut down abruptly to protect itself from data loss and displays a bug check code. For more information, see Bug Checks (Blue Screens). You analyze crash dump files that are created when Windows shuts down by using WinDbg and other Windows debuggers. For more information, see Crash dump analysis using the Windows debuggers (WinDbg).
Tools and utilities
In addition to the debuggers, Debugging Tools for Windows includes a set of tools that are useful for debugging. For a full list of the tools, see Tools Included in Debugging Tools for Windows.
Additional documentation
For additional information related to Debugging Tools for Windows, see Debugging Resources. For information on what's new in Windows 10, see Debugging Tools for Windows: New for Windows 10.

Broncos coach John Fox said last week that the target date for getting his offensive line back together was near the start of training camp.
That target's not going to be hit.
According to Jeff Legwold of the Denver Post, center J.D. Walton had to have an additional surgery on his ankle this week which could mean he'll miss the entire season. Broncos officials were holding out hope that if his recovery went smoothly, Walton might return for the second half of the year.
Walton missed most of last season with a broken ankle, and his absence will force the Broncos to adjust again up front.
Coupled with guard Chris Kuper's recovery and the contract-related absence of franchise-tagged left tackle Ryan Clady, the Broncos already had plenty of question marks in front of quarterback Peyton Manning.
Now they have a bigger one.


text: Automobile accidents can be costly. Depending on your insurance, you may have to pay for some or all of your car repairs, plus the cost to rent an auto while yours is in the shop. And if your car crash was serious, you may also be hit with big medical bills and other expenses. But if the accident was someone else's fault, you may not have to pay for accident-related expenses. Under many states' personal injury laws, the person or company at fault in your accident can be sued for damages. Talk to an experienced automobile accident attorney or personal injury law firm to learn whether you have a valid case against the other driver. Auto accident lawyers can also help you pursue products liability claims against the vehicle manufacturer if your accident was the result of a problem or defect with your motor vehicle.

Nestled between the outskirts of the Central Valley and the shores of Lake Tahoe, El Dorado County is home to some of the most unique, upscale, and historical communities in Northern California. Communities and neighborhoods are diverse and ranging from horse ranches, farms, and mountain retreats, to upscale suburbia and palatial estates.
Highway 50 is the major thoroughfare between Sacramento and El Dorado County, passing through the upscale communities of El Dorado Hills, all the way to South Lake Tahoe, the county's largest municipality. Placerville, the county seat and one of the West's most iconic historic old towns, lies just 45 miles southeast of the State Capitol and nine miles from Coloma, the site that launched the California Gold Rush.
This particular enclave of the county is also abundant with wineries and farms, particularly in the Apple Hill area east of Placerville.
Stretching through the foothills and all the way up to Tahoma on the upper west shore of Lake Tahoe, El Dorado County is bustling with recreational activities. It's bordered by Folsom Lake and Lake Tahoe and is home to the South Fork of the American River, as well as such popular spots as Camp Richardson, Fallen Leaf Lake, and Mount Tallac.
The area may be more defined by El Dorado Hills, a community comprised of gated, luxury communities and an affluent lifestyle. The tony Town Center draws residents and visitors from near and far for outdoor movies and concerts, holiday and seasonal events, and an endless array of shops, bistros, cafes, and services. Once ranked #77 in CNN Money Magazine's best places to live, El Dorado Hills boasts a country-club lifestyle with good schools, low crime, and close proximity to some of the region's largest employers. Intel's Folsom campus, the company's largest research and development sites, is just 14 miles from El Dorado Hills.

"La merienda" is a traditional Latin American snack break which can be taken between breakfast and lunch, or between lunch and dinner. It's different from most American snack or coffee breaks because la merienda isn't something you would scarf down behind the wheel of your car, buy from a vending machine, or mindlessly munch while checking E-mail. It's a moment each day, often shared with others, where you sit down at the table and savor what is more like a miniature meal. This tradition is about taking a moment to relax and truly appreciate comida, familia and amigos, which creates a thankful spirit.
Nestlé Abuelita sent me some of their products to enjoy during our daily merienda and although I wish you could have been sitting at the table with me, I took some photos so you can share in the experience.
History & Culture
Coincidentally this past weekend, while watching a Pedro Infante film, (Los tres García) with Carlos, I said, "That old lady looks familiar," – referring to one of the actresses on screen. Carlos laughed, "That's abuelita!"
"I know that's the abuelita," I said, for she was the grandmother of the three main characters in the movie, "I mean I've seen her somewhere else."
"Yes, she's the abuelita on the hot chocolate!" Carlos said.
I thought he was joking, but it's true. After a little research I discovered that the woman on packages of Abuelita is Mexican actress Sara García – She so often played the part of the "abuela" in films during the 1940's-1950's that she became known as "Mexican Cinema's Grandmother."
Are you ready for your merienda?

Vermette completes hat trick with OT goal for Coyotesby Sean Farrell
OTTAWA -- What Antoine Vermette enjoyed most about scoring a hat trick against the Ottawa Senators was that each of his three goals against his former team made a crucial contribution to a come-from-behind victory.
Vermette scored the tying goal with 2:13 remaining in regulation and completed his hat trick at 2:23 of overtime to lift the Phoenix Coyotes to a 4-3 win against Ottawa on Saturday.
Vermette, who began his career with the Senators and played for Ottawa from 2003-09, beat Craig Anderson for the winner after drawing Phoenix even at 3-3 with a power-play goal after Coyotes defenseman Keith Yandle stopped Senators captain Jason Spezza's clearing attempt at the blue line. Ottawa's Erik Condra was in the penalty box after being called for high sticking Rostislav Klesla at 16:35.
"At the end of the day, you want to win, and that's what makes it special," said Vermette, who scored his first of the game at 5:58 of the second period to draw Phoenix within 2-1.
Phoenix goalie Mike Smith stopped 37 shots, including a sensational right toe save on Clarke MacArthur's shot off a rebound of Kyle Turris' shot in overtime.
"It came off the pad so quick that it kind of caught me off guard, too, and I just tried to shoot it as quick as I could," MacArthur said. "You have to give him credit. He made a couple of big ones to get them that win."
Radim Vrbata scored in the second period for the Coyotes, who erased a 2-0 deficit on their way to ending a three-game skid (0-2-1).
"I thought we got better as the game went on," Smith said. "The boys bailed me out a little bit there. I had a couple of soft ones and we were able to respond and get a huge win for our team here."
Senators defenseman Marc Methot had a goal and an assist.
Turris put the Senators up 1-0 with a power-play goal at 6:14 of the first period on an assist from Methot, who gave the team its second lead at 3-2 with a 4-on-4 goal at 14:51 of the second. It was Methot's first multipoint game of the season.
Anderson made 33 saves and Zack Smith scored for Ottawa, which has lost three in a row.
The Senators fell to 14-17-7, including 2-9-3 against Western Conference opponents.
"I'm sick of standing here and always saying the same things," Methot said. "You could just repeat everything I say after a loss and it's going to be the same difference. We're all frustrated. I'm frustrated, I'm sure the fans are; it's almost like we found a way to lose the game tonight and it pains me to say that."
Zack Smith took a long pass from Eric Gryba and drove in from the blue line to score his sixth goal at 3:10 of the middle period to give the Senators 2-0 lead, their first since Nov. 9, a span of 21 games.
Vermette drew Phoenix within 2-1 with his 10th goal at 5:28, his first against his former team. Vrbata scored his 10th goal on a power play at 8:47 to tie it at 2-2.
Mike Smith got tangled up with Ottawa's Chris Neil in a goalmouth scrum midway through the second. Both were assessed roughing minors at 10:41 along with Senators forward Colin Greening and Phoenix defenseman Mike Stone, and Neil also drew a slashing penalty on the play.
"I had to mix stuff up a little bit and change it up, so this is what happens," Mike Smith said. "This is what happens. Emotions are running high and everyone's trying to win. He's a gritty player, a good player and he goes to the front of the net, so sometimes it happens."
Two more sets of coincidental minors followed. Coyotes defenseman Connor Murphy was sent off at 13:32 for interfering with MacArthur, who was called for boarding. Greening and Phoenix's Derek Morris were given roughing penalties at 13:46.
Methot came out from behind the Coyotes' net on the ensuing 4-on-4 and snapped a shot past Mike Smith to restore Ottawa's one-goal lead at 3-2.
"We came out good and in the second period we kind of had a lapse again where they got a couple of breaks and they scored on both of them," MacArthur said. "We've got to do a better job in that area, and in overtime, I have a chance to finish it there and just trying to get a quick shot off and he makes a huge save. And that's normally what happens; it goes back the other way and they get one. I'd love to have that shot back, obviously, and it's disappointing. We should have had two [points] tonight."
Phoenix captain Shane Doan missed his seventh straight game because of a previously undisclosed illness. Coyotes general manager Don Maloney said Friday that Doan was being treated for symptoms of Rocky Mountain spotted fever which, according to the Mayo Clinic's website is "a tick-borne bacterial disease that affects the cells in the lining of your blood vessels, making the vessels leak."
Doan, who skated at Jobing.com Arena on Friday, is taking medication and is considered week-to-week. It's not expected that he'll return before the turn of the calendar year.
Senators rookie defenseman Cody Ceci celebrated his 20th birthday. Ceci, who scored his first NHL goal in overtime Monday against the St. Louis Blues, played his sixth straight game since he was called up from Binghamton of the American Hockey League on Dec. 12.
Ottawa closes out a three-game homestand Monday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Phoenix completes its four-game road trip against the Buffalo Sabres, also on Monday.

Trolled the web looking for a forum to post these images which were captured on Sunday by my living room Clever Dog security cam whilst I was staying away.
I installed the cam about two months ago and configured it for motion detection and in that time it has only captured a stealth visit from my Son who was caught bang to rights raiding my fridge. It has never alerted me to anything apart from that, however on Sunday around 23:30 (timestamps on the images) it fired of 6 x 3 frame alerts of what, I actually don't know?
I rent the house, been in it for just over two years and from what I know the owners wife sadly passed here. Also, and I know you are going to think this weird, I have my Mums ashes on the cabinet to the left and shes always there. Incidentally, we both kind of believed in all things spiritual, both of us being a little psychic and to that end we made a pact that whoever went first would come back from the other side and give proof..
Yeh it could be a fly, moth, dust etc but I'm not convinced. I came home the next day and searched for insects but didn't find anything.
Be interested to hear opinions as these don't look like your normal orb's, if there is such a thing.

I'm accusing you of being stupid.
I had not heard of this either, but this came up in a google search. And in a nutshell, MJ appears to be correct. While that may not be the be all and end all of the concept, it does appear from the blog I linked to that a true "knight of Faith" does what God tells him to do regardless of any other law or moral restrictions we as humans have put into place.In other words, all those people that listen to the voices in their heads telling them to do horrendous things are aces in Kierkegaard's book.

Being unique in Christian philosophy circles is like being unique in yodeling circles. It's a distinction, but it signifies nothing of interest or value.
What qualifies as "thought" depends upon how liberal your criteria are. And yodeling is to music as hopscotch is to chess.
the man had good ideas and totally never lived up to any of them.

Braves rally past Twins to extend streak
Atlanta, GA – Freddie Freeman smacked a game-winning single with two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning to send the Atlanta Braves to their fifth straight victory with a 5-4 decision over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday at Turner Field.
After Evan Gattis' pinch-hit, two-out solo homer tied the game in the ninth, Jason Heyward kept the 10th alive with a double into the gap in left-center field.
"I reacted to the breaking stuff," Gattis recalled of his home run. "I wasn't looking for it, just kind of happened."
Brian Duensing (0-1) then intentionally walked Justin Upton to get to Freeman, who punched a 3-2 slider into shallow right field to score Heyward for the deciding run.
Craig Kimbrel (1-1) blanked the Twins in the top of the 10th to earn the win.
Freeman also added an RBI double in the first, while Brian McCann went 3-for-4 with a solo homer and two RBI for the Braves, who can sweep this three-game set with a victory in Wednesday's finale.
Trevor Plouffe and Ryan Doumit smacked consecutive run-scoring singles in the eighth to put Minnesota in front, but reliever Glen Perkins was unable to hold the lead in the ninth for the Twins, who have lost a season-high seven straight games.
"It happens," Perkins said of the homer to Gattis. "You got to make good pitches. (Gattis) is up there to do one thing and he did it. We've been struggling, guys fought back and we got a lead. Just bad timing you know."
Freeman's run-scoring double preceded an RBI single from McCann in the first to give the Braves a 2-0 lead, but with runners on first and second in the second, Pedro Florimon stroked a single to left to score Justin Morneau and slice Atlanta's lead in half.
Joe Mauer singled with one away in the third before a storm hit Turner Field, causing a power outage at the stadium and a 1 hour, 16 minute delay.
When play resumed, Atlanta starter Tim Hudson returned to his post on the mound and served up consecutive singles to Josh Willingham and Morneau, with Morneau's plating Mauer to tie the contest.
Minnesota starter Mike Pelfrey did not return after the lengthy delay, as Anthony Swarzak started the third and retired the Braves in order before serving up McCann's leadoff blast in the fourth that put Atlanta in front.
Hudson and reliever Anthony Varvaro combined to keep the Twins off the board until the eighth, when Luis Avilan entered and allowed a leadoff single to Mauer before walking Willingham.
After popping out Morneau, Avilan was replaced by Cory Gearrin, who served up back-to-back RBI singles to Plouffe and Doumit that gave Minnesota a 4-3 edge.
Game Notes
Hudson allowed two runs on five hits while striking out five over five frames ... Pelfrey was charged with two runs on four hits over two innings ... Minnesota went 4-for-12 with runners in scoring position and left nine on base ... Atlanta finished 2-for-4 with RISP and stranded six baserunners.

A friend of mine recently accomplished one of those things which is worthy of being celebrated with champagne, so I went to the store this afternoon to get her a bottle.
I picked out a bottle of Veuve Cliquot, which is Anne's and my favorite, and walked up to the register to pay. On my way, I thought I saw Amanda Peet standing in the cereal aisle. I don't mention this to drop names, (which is pointless anyway since I'm not sure it was actually her,) but because it was so surreal to walk past, glance down the aisle like you do in the store, and a few steps later have my brain say, "Hey, Wil, I think that was Amanda Peet." By the time I'd registered what I thought I'd seen, there was no way I could go back without officially being a total creep, so I left this mystery woman in an eigenstate and continued walking to the register.
Checkout 5 had one person in it, but his cart was overflowing with more meat products than one person could reasonably eat over a weekend. Checkout 8 had three people, all of them with a few items in hand baskets. As usual, it only took a glance at the express aisle to confirm that it was not appropriately named.
The speaker in the store blared: Lane 11 is now open accepting all orders. No waiting on lane 11. It was extremely loud in the nearly-empty mid-afternoon store, which was a little jarring, but I didn't complain, since it solved my line-choosing problem quite nicely. I turned to my left and headed toward lane 11 quickly, almost knocking over a display box of DVDs and blu-rays that I swear to Steve the Fruitbat hadn't been there ten seconds earlier. While I caught my balance with one be-champagned hand and stopped the display from toppling to the ground with the other, I saw that the blu-rays were on sale for $5. I also saw that one of them was MEGA SHARK VERSUS GIANT OCTOPUS.
I reached out and grabbed it so fast, I nearly broke the sound barrier.
Champagne and blu-ray in hand, I got to lane 11 (which I was still calling 'Checkout 11' in my head) and put my two items on the belt. The cashier scanned them both while I pulled my wallet out of my pocket. While she put them into a bag, she said, dourly, "So ... looks like you have quite an evening planned for yourself."
"You know it," I said, as enthusiastically as I could without jumping around or raising my voice.
She recoiled slightly. In a voice that was a combination of suspicion, caution, curiosity and fear, she said, "Well ... you ... have a ..." she paused, like she was choosing her next word very carefully, "nice evening, Mister ..." she looked at the receipt ... "Wheaton."
I took the bag from her outstretched hand and flashed her a Tom Cruise Crazy smile. "Oh," I said, "that was never in doubt!"
I walked out the doors and into the unseaonsably warm January afternoon, incredibly amused with myself. As I walked across the parking lot, I wondered if Amanda Peet was buying the blu-ray of 30,000 Leagues Under The Sea, with a fine champagne, or if it was more of an Asti Spumante kind of film.
I think about these things, you know.

For the past few weeks, I have been really looking forward to November 11th – the day I have no classes and no intentions of stepping foot on campus. All that I, and most of my classmates, really want to do is catch my breath and get prepared for the last four CRAZY weeks of my first quarter at Fisher (during which we will have 4 Accounting Cases, 3 final papers, 3 final presentations, 4 daily assignments and 3 final exams – not to mention all of the reading that goes with those assignments…). But, November 11th is more than just a vacation day, it's Veterans Day.
My father (Air Force), step-father-in-law (Marine Corp), brother-in-law (Army Reserves) and one of my cohort team mates (Army) are all Veterans. I am immensely proud of each of them and would like to use this blog to honor them and all Veterans by taking us all back to the real meaning of Veterans Day. Veterans Day began in 1918 as Armistice Day – a way to honor those who fought in World War I. In 1954, Armistice Day was changed to Veterans Day in order to honor veterans of ALL wars. Today, Veterans Day is designed to honor and thank living veterans who served in the military during times of peace and of war.
So, as you relax (or study) on this Veterans Day or hit the malls for some great sales, please be sure to stop for a moment to remember what this day truly means. In fact, why not take that moment right now and watch this clip of the OSU ROTC Buckeye Battalion raising the Flag as the Ohio State Marching Band plays the U.S. National Anthem:

What Is YouTube?
YouTube is a video-sharing site created for uploading and sharing videos. These videos can be viewed worldwide by accessing YouTube.com.
Prior to YouTube, there were few ways for mainstream users to share videos on the Internet. YouTube launched to the public in November 2005. By July 2006, over 65,000 videos were being uploaded to YouTube per day, and its videos were receiving 100 million views per day. The success of the Internet start-up quickly caught the attention of Google. Only one year after going public, YouTube was purchased by Google for $1.65 billion in November 2006.
While anyone can watch videos on YouTube, uploading a video requires a YouTube account. Setting up an account requires the user to provide YouTube with a username, birth date, zip code, and e-mail address.
YouTube users upload the equivalent of 60 hours of video to the YouTube servers each minute. Over four billion videos per day are watched worldwide, and over 800 million people visit YouTube every month. The viewer ratio of males to females is 50:50. Fifty percent of YouTube users visit the site at least once a week, and 50 percent of users share videos with friends and family on a regular basis.

Maurice Jones-Drew played in just six games for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2012 before a foot injury ended his season.
It's been a lengthy recovery process for Jones-Drew that saw him get just 10 carries in three preseason games.
But Jones-Drew says he's finally put concerns about his foot in the past and is ready to carry the load for the Jaguars running game.
"As many (carries) as it takes," Jones-Drew said, via John Oehser of the team's official website. "I feel great."
Jones-Drew said he had to lie to himself and say that he was feeling good even when the foot and his conditioning were still being problematic. It took a few weeks before he was finally able to get over the hump and start feeling back in the groove. It was difficult for Jones-Drew at times to believe he was going to get to where he needed to be.
"There were a couple days during camp where I was like, 'I don't know if I can do this anymore,'" Jones-Drew said.
Ultimately he managed to get some work in during the preseason and feels ready to perform this year. It would be a major benefit for Blaine Gabbert if the Jaguars can provide a running game to take some of the pressure off the quarterback position. A healthy Jones-Drew would go a long way toward giving Jacksonville a more productive offense this season.

Beer enthusiasts could soon see a local brew showing up at bars and grocery stores across the region.
ORMOND BEACH — Beer enthusiasts could soon see a local brew showing up at bars and grocery stores across the region.
In the coming weeks, co-owners Justin Robinson and Cliff Stevenson plan to launch Ormond Brewing Company, which would be the third brewery slated to open this year in Volusia County.
"It's been long awaited for sure," said Robinson, a 30-year-old Ormond Beach resident.
Robinson and Stevenson started out as home brewers but always had a desire to serve up craft beer on a commercial scale.
"It was always a consideration, but there was never funding," Robinson said.
Recently, they took over a 1,000-square-foot space in the back of a warehouse on Division Avenue, just west of the Florida East Coast Railway tracks, and transformed it into a tasting room.
Considered a nanobrewery, the startup company, at 301 Division Ave., will be capable of brewing 300 to 350 gallons of beer a week, Robinson said.
The eventual goal, he added, is to expand to a brewing capacity of 2,500 gallons every 10 days, and the business could employ up to six people.
The company could start brewing in as few as three weeks with a grand opening after that once it obtains licensing to brew.
"It's not a quick process," Robinson said.
For now, Robinson and Stevenson are keeping the names of their beers under wraps, but they're planning to brew an IPA, nut brown ale and light blonde ale.
Craft brewers like Ormond Brewing Company have taken off in recent years. In the late 1970s, there were only 89 breweries across the nation. Today, there are more than 2,500, according to the Brewers Association.
Florida and Volusia County seem to be catching up. Ormond Beach's Tomoka Brewery on East Granada Boulevard, which opened this summer, is set to start brewing its own beer in October, and New Smyrna Beach Brewing Company could be ready to do the same in November.
"There's an open market here in Volusia County," Stevenson said of one of the reasons he moved here.
Robinson said the operation will focus on distributing beer to local bars and then eventually grocery stores once brewing capacities are expanded. The business's tasting room will be open on a limited basis and people will be able to purchase growlers — quart and gallon-size bottles — to take home.
For those wanting to try out their brews, Robinson and Stevenson will be at the Ormond Beach Chamber of Commerce's King of the Grill event this weekend handing out samples.
They're hoping everyone leaves with a good taste in their mouth and come back for more.
"We are weeks away from making big batches of beer," Stevenson said. "It's pretty exciting."
