->''"Just barely out of school, came from the edge of town\\
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down\\
He had no money, no, no good at home\\
He walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone"''
-->-- '''Music/SkidRow''', "18 and Life"
The formal adjective definition of the word "delinquent" describes something or someone who fails in their duty. This sums up its more popular usage quite nicely; a delinquent is someone (generally a young person) who fails in their "duty to society" by being anti-social. They won't be plotting to take over the world or rob banks and they're more likely to be an AssholeVictim of TheAggressiveDrugDealer than an example. They are, however, likely to refuse to turn up to school (or are [[ClassClown disruptive]] if they do), harass people in the street, [[FiveFingerDiscount shoplift]] and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking drink or smoke]] ([[AndThatsTerrible possibly even both!]]).
If the protagonist encounters them, they're probably going to either be bullied by them, or fall in with them. In the later case they'll serve as {{Poisonous Friend}}s who use [[PeerPressureMakesYouEvil peer pressure]] to encourage the protagonist to join them in their misdeeds (naturally this "friendship" will be short lived, as the protagonist [[CantGetAwayWithNuthin will be caught the moment they try it]] and subsequantly be abandoned by them at best or made their {{scapegoat}} at worst). Alternatively, the trope can be played more lightly, with a delinquent acting as a sort of TokenEvilTeammate, or as an outright AntiHero.
Delinquents have come in many types in different times and places, but the stereotype tends to attach itself to whatever scary new subculture the kids have come up with recently: greasers in [[TheFifties 1950s]] US, mods and rockers in [[TheSixties 1960s]] Britain, punks everywhere since the [[TheSeventies 1970s]].
This trope can overlap with SpoiledBrat or LowerClassLout (depending on who their parents happen to be). Expect them to act as {{mooks}} or be the "hat" of a GangOfHats. For the leather-clad delinquents of TheFifties and TheSixties, see GreaserDelinquents.

[[folder:{{Anime}} and {{Manga}}]]
* ''CromartieHighSchool'' has an entire cast of delinquents (and a robot delinquent...and a gorilla...and Freddie Mercury), though they mostly spend their time [[BadassOnPaper talking about who they think is the toughest, rather than proving it by having a brawl]]. If you haven't guessed it yet, this is one great big parody of delinquent manga.
* Kouji Kabuto from ''Anime/MazingerZ'' skipped school and used rough language.
* ''Manga/{{Beelzebub}}''
** Tatsumi Oga is such a violent delinquent that the son of Satan himself chooses him to be his guardian. Naturally, the people he associates with are delinquents as well.
** Hell, the school he attends, Ishiyama High, is repeatedly stated to have a delinquency rate of [[UpToEleven 120%]]. Everyone there is a delinquent, it's a [[TwoTeacherSchool No Teacher School]] ruled by the pseudo-AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil known as the Tohoshinki, with Oga himself being the technical StudentCouncilPresident, as he defeated all four of them.
* The student council in ''YankeeKunToMeganeChan'' consists of four legendary badass delinquents and one guy [[FaceOfAThug who'd easily pass as one]].
* England from ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia'' was said to be quite the delinquent as a teen, something which he fervently denies due to his current status as a (self-proclaimed) gentleman. This is also touched in [[HighSchoolAU Gakuen Hetalia]] where in England's official bio it mentions how he had been given such a reputation in the past.
* ''Manga/HarlemBeat'': Kiriko, Kosuke, Sawamura love to smoke, gamble and skip school. And then there's the Kyan team.
* ''Crows'' and it's sequel ''Worst'' center around a gang of delinquents of Suzuran High.
* Airs Blue from ''InfiniteRyvius'', a gang leader who gets his hands on the only gun on the Ryvius.
* ''Franchise/SailorMoon'': Sailor Jupiter (aka Makoto Kino)]] has this reputation at her school, because she is so tall that she couldn't get a uniform in her size, and because she's the new kid. She's not actually a delinquent, though, just has the reputation. [[spoiler: In actuality, she was not expelled from another school for fighting, but left voluntarily because she couldn't deal with seeing her ex after a bad breakup.]] According to WordOfGod she was ''supposed'' to be an actual delinquent (a leader of a girl-gang, specifically), but the creator changed her mind about that.
* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' has had delinquent protagonists of both the Japanese and Western mold - Joseph, Jotaro and Jolyne have even done jail time.
* The main nemeses of the young protagonist in ''OmegaTheUnknown''.
* John Bender from ''TheBreakfastClub'', though he's actually a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold pretty nice guy]] when you get to know him.
* The vampire gang in ''TheLostBoys''.
* The ''EastSideKids'' series from the 1930s & 40s, switching between the main characters and the supporting players.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}'' featured a quartet of troublemaking young cars composing of a purple and gray car with rocket boosters as their leader, a green and white car with oversized spoilers, a blue van with speakers all over his body, and an orange drag racer with an oversized engine.
* [[{{Deconstruction}} Deconstructed]] with ''Film/RebelWithoutACause'', in which the teens act the way they do because they lack competent guidance from adults. In fact, the main character of the film, Jim, ''wants'' to be a good person, except society - including his own parents - is keeping him form being so.
* Carmen in ''Film/TheColorOfMoney'' was this before the movie begins. She first met Vincent after she got arrested for driving the getaway car while her (former) boyfriend was robbing his parents' house.
* The teenage leads of LordsOfDogtown are this: growing up too wild in Venice Beach, California, "the ghetto by the sea", skipping school to surf in the early morning and joy-riding behind buses on their skateboards.
* OlderThanRadio: Tom and Huck of MarkTwain's ''TheAdventuresOfTomSawyer'' and ''TheAdventuresOfHuckleberryFinn''.
* Jason and his friends of RickRiordan's ''Literature/TheHeroesOfOlympus'' are students at a 'Wilderness School,' a BoardingSchool in Nevada for 'bad kids.'
* The main characters of the book ''TheOutsiders'' are a typical greaser gang. Their rivals are the Socs, who are true delinquents that get away with most of their crimes due to being rich.
* ''BlackboardJungle'', a schoolteacher drama from TheFifties that helped codify this trope; the [[FilmOfTheBook movie adaptation]] was the first major motion picture with a RockNRoll soundtrack.
* Most of Slytherin House in the ''Literature/HarryPotter'' series.
* Billy Nolan and his friends in Creator/StephenKing's ''{{Carrie}}''. His girlfriend [[AlphaBitch Chris]] is also one of these, though the film adaptations downplay it.
[[folder:{{Live-Action TV}}]]
* ''ICarly'': Sam has been arrested more than once, asks Freddie to hide her backpack when a cop shows up at Carly's apartment, was seen shaking down some kid in the pilot, solves most of her problems with violence, is generally the first (and only) member of the main threesome to suggest criminal action... you get the idea.
* ''NorthernExposure'': Chris in the Morning was car thief [[spoiler:and a con]] in his youth.
* ''HappyDays'': Fonzie is a semi-reformed delinquent.
* ''That70sShow'': Hyde is a lifelong delinquent even after he becomes the manager of his own record store.
* ''Series/KamenRiderFourze'' has an interesting subversion: Gentarou dresses up like one, but he's the most likable guy out there!
* A group is seen in the ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' short ''Film/WhatAboutJuvenileDelinquency''
* Two companions in {{Series/Doctor Who}}:
** Dorothy "Ace" [=McShane=], an [[TheEighties Eighties]] delinquent who travelled with the Seventh Doctor.
** Courtney Woods, a [[TheNewTens New Tens]] delinquent who travelled with the Twelfth Doctor. Inkeeping with the show's general anti-establishment vibe, both Courtney and Ace are portrayed positively.
[[folder: Music Videos]]
* The video for Music/{{Aerosmith}}'s "Livin' On The Edge" depicts several of these.
* Most of the characters in ''Theatre/WestSideStory''.
* Basically everyone in ''{{Grease}}'', even if they are singing the whole time.
* Jonny Warner of ''ZombieProm'' is ''treated'' as a delinquent. He has a motorcycle, but the most rebellious thing he does is spell his name without the customary "h".
* "Three Juvenile Delinquents" from Noel Coward's ''Ace of Clubs''.
[[folder:Video Games]]
* Alex of ''[[{{TCT RPG}} The Colour Tuesday]]'', mostly due to no one taking her [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia Synesthesia]] seriously as a kid, and authority figures generally putting her down even for reasonable things. In reality, she's less an actual delinquent and more the [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Girl]] in a world where the adults are morons. [[spoiler: As it turns out, having the adults be pawns of the Others doesn't help matters.]] Alex's status as a rebel is a sign of her destiny to break the control of the Others.
* The {{Mooks}} of the school level in ''NoMoreHeroes''.
* Riki and Kunio (Ryan and Alex) from the ''Kunio-kun'' (''RiverCityRansom'') series, including ''Super Dodgeball''. Also about everyone else. Well, except the shop keepers, waiters, children, the old man at the sauna, Roxy, and Ryan. But still!
* Kyo Kusanagi from KingOfFighters is a mild example, he gets into fights, skips school almost constantly, ignores/neglects his girlfriend and seems to enjoy brawling random people.
* Daigo Kazama, Eiji "Edge" Yamada and Gan Isurugi from ''VideoGame/RivalSchools''. Of course, the school they attend is [[PlanetOfHats nothing]] ''[[PlanetOfHats but]]'' [[PlanetOfHats deliquents]].
** In the sequel ''Project Justice'', they're joined by female delinquent Aoi "Zaki" Himezaki and her all-female gang, the Ladies Team. The two gangs even face off against each other in the game's story mode, as illustrated above.
* Akira, from the near-future chapter of ''LiveALive'', is the very image of a delinquent. He even slouches.
* Masamune Date and his men from ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara''. Think Sengoku Era biker gang.
* ''Inverted'' in ''VideoGame/Disgaea3AbsenceOfJustice''. The term is used to describe demons who attend the school that do... "odd" things. [[FelonyMisdemeanor Donating blood, picking up trash, attending classes, and even doing]] ''[[FelonyMisdemeanor homework]].'' Honor Students are the real delinquents; they skip class, cause fights, and so on. Of course this still fits the formal description of the term, as most of the students are aspiring {{Card Carrying Villain}}s and the school is supposed to train them to be "evil".
** The protagonist Mao is considered the top honor student because he has ''never attended a single day of school yet.'' He is deeply ashamed of that one time his rival forced him to perform "delinquent acts" of cleaning up and donating blood.
* G-Bankaran in ''The Second VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration'' is a HumongousMecha shaped like a stereotypical delinquent, piloted by an ''actual'' stereotypical delinquent.
[[folder:Web Original]]
* The Bloody Fists in ''SurvivalOfTheFittest'' version two start out this way, but eventually turn into a full fledged criminal gang. Alexander Stevens, leader of the Hellbirds, also qualifies, though he tends to avoid making trouble in the schools themselves.
[[folder:Western Animation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'': the "Tough Customers" gang is a kid-friendly group of delinquents.
* The "Bad Kids" from ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'', usually consisting of Kurst the Worst (who really doesn't take pride in her mean acts), Mundy, Skeens, Sue Bob Murphy, and Lazy Kid.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': The teenage dragons Spike meets in Dragon Quest are delinquents, and a fairly nasty bunch too.
* Terry, the new Batman from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'', is a former delinquent. This trait is [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]], however, as it's not brought up until Terry's character arc has been established, so that it doesn't [[NeverLiveItDown take over his characterization]].

Outlook PST E-mail Recovery
So we had Godaddy.com for IMAP e-mail but it wasn't working well, so we decided to switch to Google Apps. I changed the MX records and setup the new accounts.
Then I went into Outlook and edited the existing account to use IMAP with the new mail servers. Great! Everything worked... but oops... all the old mail disappeared...
I changed the MX records back and used POP to download the old mail to a new PST file, then change the MX records back to the new ones and moved the old mail into join the new account's e-mails.
All this was acceptable... until I learned that evidentally there were subfolders that didn't get pulled down on POP. they exist on the iphone but don't sync back to the new account... I really don't want to disrupt mail again by changing MX records...
The thing is, the PST file in outlook, is like 10GB... but there's only a few hundred messages... that makes me believe the old mail folders are still in the PST file, I just can't seem. Is there any way to access them?

From: Joe Zbiciak <jzbiciak () MICRO TI COM>
In poking around, I discovered it's possible to bus-error /usr/bin/ps
on Solaris 2.5.1. (Not certain if any patches affecting ps have been
applied to the system I discovered this on.)
Giving "-u" a suitably large argument produces the bus error. I've not
yet managed to exploit it. Here's my analysis so far:
user arg >9 chars: null termination lost, extra garbage in error msg.
user arg >32 chars: ps gets completely confused about commandline and
prints generic usage information.
user arg >95 chars: ps starts segmentation faulting.
user arg >100 chars: ps starts bus-erroring.
(This is using a commandline of the form 'ps -u aaaaa....aaaa'.)
It appears from this that the return address is at offset 96. Now it's
just a matter of someone digging out the generic Solaris 'sploit and
tuning 'er up.
Actually, the thing at offset 96 is `environ'. What's happening is
that there's a routine in ps that (basically) tries to parse the
parameter into comma-separated usernames, and copies the usernames
into a statically-allocated buffer without checking their length. It's
a bug, but not an obviously exploitable one.
The reason for the bus error compared to segv is that 'a' is odd.
There is an upper limit of 30 on the number of user IDs you can pass
to 'ps -u'; uids after that are silently ignored :-(.

An Invitation
WOULD you like to know something of the earth on which we live and how it is made to yield us the means of life and happiness? And would it interest you to recall some of the curious concepts that have centered around the origin of the earth?
Would you like to know the Grand Canyon, or is it enough just to read about it? (Plate I) Are you satisfied to be introduced to Niagara Falls (Plate II), or would you like to be intimate with this world-famous cataract and feel its great pulsing life? Is it enough to be gently sprayed from a safe distance by a geyser or do you wish to descend in comprehensive imagination into the seething caldrons beneath the surface and know the forces that produce an Old Faithful? Are you satisfied to know in some vague, indefinite way that there is a volcanic mountain known as Vesuvius and that a pit of boiling lava exists at Kilauea, or do you long to know really what causes a volcanic eruption such as that which formed the crater of Taal? (Plate III)
If these things interest you, perhaps you will browse with me through the quaint volumes cited in the closing chapters of this book and scan some of those early conceptions which contained the germs of truth from which have sprung many of the beliefs of the present day.
The development of belief concerning the origin and general history of the earth is as interesting to some as the physical processes of the earth are to others. Perhaps some will join with me in an intense interest in the development of the science of the earth and follow the growth of knowledge from a time when "the earth was without form and void" in the minds of men, through the long periods of intellectual gloom when only an occasional flash of light penetrated the murky atmosphere of superstition and ignorance, to the present time, when facts are being placed in orderly arrangement and when natural law is finding its proper recognition.
Standards of Value
Let us consider first some of the tangible things that are near at hand and that affect the course of our life day by day, then some of those intangible things that are less obvious but no less real. These things cannot be sharply separated any more than work and play can be sharply separated in real life. Both are necessary.
There is an ideal standard by which values may be judged, as well as a practical standard. A thing may be useful for increasing our material comfort, or it may be employed for broadening human knowledge and for touching the finer emotions. The science of geology stands the test of judgment by both standards. The mind as well as the body must be fed. The coal mine furnishes the means of bodily comfort; the oil field, the means of travel; and natural scenery, an important means of enjoyment.
The ability to interpret natural scenery properly depends on a knowledge of the forces which produced it. We may admire the beauty of a landscape or marvel at its grandeur, but we must know how it was formed before we can appreciate its full significance. A great canyon appears wonderful as we gaze into its depths; but it appears far more wonderful when we know how it came into being. A volcanic explosion like that of Katmai seems astounding. But astonishment does not satisfy the inquiring mind. To fathom such mysteries, men are willing to spend time and treasure and even to risk life.
From the earth we draw those material things which are necessary for life and happiness. The science of the earth is fundamental, for it treats of those things. This science guides us in the search for mineral wealth and aids us in understanding the forces which produced this wealth. A study of geologic processes leads to an understanding of the laws which contribute to our daily happiness, for these processes have been in operation from the beginning, shaping the earth into a pleasant place for human habitation. Thus practical considerations are not far separated from the theoretical. Applied geology and pure geology join hands.
Discoveries and Applications
It is quite impossible to foresee what applications may be made of a new discovery or how an understanding of a natural law may be applied. In the early stages of civilization discoveries were accidental. Primitive man probably learned by accident how to use a rude flint implement, and the Stone Age followed. Later, men discovered in some way that bronze tools were better than flint. The use of iron and copper and aluminum followed, and we are now learning to use materials that still seem somewhat mysterious, such as helium and tungsten and radium.
But learning new things is a slow process. The struggle out of the slough of ignorance is difficult and discouraging. The school of "hard knocks" has more graduates than any other.
Many have tried short cuts. Some there are who still believe it is possible to find the treasures of earth through the guidance of dreams and of charms. And many have faith in appliances which pass under the general name of "doodlebugs."
Principles and "Doodlebugs"
The hope of progress lies in understanding, and an ever increasing number of young people are going out to face Nature equipped with a knowledge of Nature's laws. In geology, as in every other field of activity, knowledge is power. It was a geologist who developed the fundamental principle that oil is found chiefly in anticlines and domes. The recognition of this principle has helped to increase the production of petroleum from a few barrels a day seventy years ago to nearly 3,000,000 barrels a day at the present time.
But a trained mind is necessary for taking advantage of even well established laws. The element of chance sometimes enters to confound the wise. The trained man assures us that the "water witch" cannot "smell" water any farther than can the man without a forked stick. Yet water is found in many a well that has been located by someone who used a hazel twig. The fact that underground water is present almost everywhere and that it would have been found with the same amount of effort in almost any other place does not seem particularly impressive compared with the fact that water was found where the hazel twig pointed.
Many oil wells and many bodies of ore have been located by the use of "doodlebugs." Most such wells are dry and most of the ore bodies located in this way are worthless, but occasionally a strike is made and is referred to as proof that the method is correct. The numberless failures are forgotten.
Some years ago a prospector in the Rocky Mountains learned that rich ore is to be expected where two veins cross. In his search for wealth he found a place where a tree had fallen across the prostrate trunk of another tree. He remembered that something "crossed" denotes rich ore but he had forgotten what it was that should be crossed. He dug his prospecting shaft where the tree trunks crossed and found ore. It so happened that a shaft anywhere near this point would have entered the body of ore which he found. But it was quite useless to tell him this. He had proved to his own satisfaction that something crossed denotes rich ore.
Pure Science Better than Pure Nonsense
Examples of this misapplication of correct principles might be multiplied indefinitely, but they serve no more useful purpose than to give warnings of what not to do. Much more useful are examples of a correct principle followed to a useful conclusion.
Underlying the art of geology is the so-called pure science, from which spring all the rules and guiding principles for practical geologic work, and many a line of research pursued in the cause of science with little thought of practical application has yielded information of great material benefit. Witness a certain study in glacial geology:
Dr. W. C. Alden, of the United States Geological Survey, worked for years mapping with painstaking accuracy numerous glacial deposits and studying the behavior of the sheet of ice which overwhelmed Wisconsin in the Great Ice Age.
"Such a study is all very well for those who are interested in the story of the earth. But what's the use? It has no practical application." So argued the uninitiated.
When the study of the glacial deposits was undertaken, the present great network of automobile roads had scarcely been started. But soon after Doctor Alden's report was published engineers in Wisconsin needed gravel for building roads. The glacial gravels were found to be suitable, and Doctor Alden's map proved to be a valuable guide in finding them.
Considered only as a means of finding road metal this map is said to have been worth many times the entire cost of Doctor Alden's investigation.
Pure geology may be fitly applied to the interpretation of natural scenery, for the surface of the earththe landscapes and the natural features that excite our wonder and delightare all the results of geologic processes.
Geology and Scenery
Some of the choicest bits of natural scenery in the world are found in the wonderlands of America. Many of the best of these natural wonders have been reserved for the enjoyment of the public in national parks and national monuments, where they may remain forever unchanged in the form that Nature gave them. Each park contains a notable example of some special type of scenery. In Kilauea (Pls. V and VI) we may see the results of an active volcano; in Lassen Volcanic Park (P1. VII) we may see a mountain that was built up by volcanic eruption; in Yellowstone Park we may examine the results of dying volcanic activity; in Zion Canyon we may see a most remarkable example of a stream-cut gorge; and in the Grand Canyon we may behold the most sublime chasm in the world.
The national parks and monuments and many other tracts of land that might appropriately be reserved as parks are full of attractive scenes that are worthy of close study. Each park illustrates a special type of landscape, and each possesses scientific as well as scenic interest. These parks contain many of the natural wonders of the world.
Before much of the earth's surface was known to cultured people there were seven wonders of the world; now there are "seventy times seven."
I Want to Know!
But to the intelligent mind it is not enough that wonders are made visible. Such a mind is always reaching out after causes. "How did it happen?" is often the first question asked. "I want to know" is an exclamation so familiar that its real significance may be lost.
Probably no sentence in any language is more familiar than that accounting for the origin of the universe: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." After the exclamations of wonder commonly heard as a party of sightseers approaches a great cliff or enters a deep canyon, the first question usually is,what made it?
Some may care little for the processes by which results are obtained. They are content to contemplate the finished product. But the genuinely appreciative observer is not satisfied with visible objects alone. With mental insight he goes back of the object to its primary cause. Back of a painting an artist sees the years of training that made the painter.
Few of us are content merely to see a cathedral. While we are enjoying its beauty we wish to know its origin and its history. We seek to know how and when the architect worked his dreams into stone.
Ruinsespecially prehistoric ruinsbecome more interesting as the cloudy mystery of the past clears away. By whom were they made? What is their story?
In like manner the architecture of nature is fascinating in proportion to the measure of appreciative understanding with which it is viewed. To him who knows geology the earth is not a mass of dead rock; it is a living, pulsing body, ever changing by movements so deliberate and majestic that only by mental insight can we behold them. To him who knows, the mountain is not a forbidding pile of rocks; it is the visible embodiment of a fascinating story in the life of the earth. To him who has mental vision, the canyon is not a finished creation existent from the beginning; it represents only one stage in the process by which highlands are gradually torn down and swept into the sea: its story is still being told.
To understand and appreciate the natural scenery of the wonderlands of western America we must know at least the elements of geology, just as we must know conditions and methods of mineral deposition in order to prospect intelligently for the deposits of ore.
To this end, it seems appropriate to call attention, as is done in the closing chapters of this book, to some of the conspicuous incidents in the development of belief concerning the nature of the earth and to apply the ideas thus developed to the interpretation of scenery. I hasten, however, to assure you now that I have no intention of going exhaustively into the tiresome details of a dead past. Rather would I merely glance over its cloudy vistas and as quickly as possible note a few of the most conspicuous milestones in the course of events by which we have arrived at the present understanding of the earth and of the natural processes which brought it into being and adorned it with noble mountains, gorgeously colored canyons, and broad, verdure-covered plains.
Aids to Understanding
And so, renewing the invitation, I bid you come with me if you wish to see the wonders of the earth; to know its story; to have some understanding of the great drama of creation, and learn to read the language of the rocks. Having learned this language, you may live in retrospective imagination through the geologic ages. But bring with you every means at your disposal that will aid your understanding.
Bring your knowledge of physics and chemistry, in order to understand how the oceans were formed and how the mountains were raised. The wisest physicists have tried and are still trying their skill on the great earth problems.
Bring your logic and give all your powers of reason full scope. You will need them all.
Bring your knowledge of zoölogy and of botany and in its light trace the path of progress by which living organisms found their way from lower to higher forms, the offspring ever improving on the parent stock.
Bring all your skill in literary expression and exercise it in describing the beauty and grandeur of the earth.
Bring imagination, by means of whose telescopic powers you may explore regions where knowledge has not yet entered.
An Elixir of Life
From the days of Ponce de Leon and his search for the spring of perpetual youth to the present time, men have desired long life. Let me prescribe an elixir by which you may live a million years.
Search out an understanding of the earth with all the helps just mentioned and by their aid live through the misty ages so long gone that reason staggers in evaluating their duration. Although you cannot number the uncounted periods of time or measure the unmeasured ages through which the earth has passed, you can, in imagination, live through some of those ages and enjoy the kaleidoscopic changes by which the planet on which you live has reached its present state of perfection.
In imagination you may witness the collision of stars in their uncharted course and see, as it were, the dust of their impact scattered in the heavens. You may see the star dust gather into worlds and the worlds organize themselves into systems. From seeming chaos you may see the great blazing sun travel from some unknown region of boundless space toward some other unknown region, accompanied by his orderly, obedient followers, the planets.
You may, in imagination, see the earth grow from an in conspicuous globe scarcely larger than its numerous neighbors to a masterful body which has gathered to itself most of these neighbors and incorporated them into a compact symmetrical mass. In this welding of parts, who may say what wars of the elements were waged? But out of the conflict of forces came order and symmetry of form. And out of the hidden laboratories within the earth came the oceans of water and the protecting cloak of the atmosphere without which no living form could exist.
Following still the path of imagination, behold the rise of living beings from simple, minute unicellular forms developing slowly, on the one hand, into plants, and on the other, into animals. Follow these in imagination from age to age and note how each period was characterized by its own peculiar forms of plants and animals, each group adapting itself to the physical conditions of its own time.
The Earth's Activities
There was an age when the furnaces of Vulcan belched fire from many a vent and poured out molten rock in great seething floods. An age followed during which these tumultuous floods of lava, now cold and hard, were covered with water and myriads of sea animals contributed their shells as records of conditions ever changing with the march of time.
At times the climate was warm, and tropical plants grew almost from pole to pole. At other times, the same regions were covered with great sheets of ice, which slowly but irresistibly moved over the surface from the cold poles to the warmer zones, smoothing the country and grinding the surface rocks to powder.
Following still further the path of imagination, behold the forests of bygone days collecting carbon and storing it in the swamps for preservation in beds of coal.
With mental vision, see the minute plants and animals on the land and in the sea gathering the carbon and the hydrogen and each, in its tiny laboratory, molding hydrocarbons of infinite variety destined to be gathered in great rock reservoirs in the form of oil and gas.
In brief, if you properly use the geologic elixir of life, you may see in imagination those processes, operating throughout the ages, by which the earth was stored with ten thousand useful substances and decorated with unnumbered charms.

Millennials, as a generation, are roughly defined as "anyone younger than the senior Consumerist staff." They've been the subject of hand-wringing in the fast food industry as industry experts fret that the young people just aren't interested in traditional fast food, instead preferring slightly classier quick-serve fare like Chipotle or Five Guys. Is this true? Maybe not. [More]
It's A Myth That Millennials Are Abandoning Fast Food
Nearly 2 Of 3 Millennials Don't Have Credit Cards
Millennials — those Americans currently between 18 and 29 years of age — never really lived in a world without debit cards, when the only way to make a non-cash purchase was to use a credit card or hope the store accepted personal checks. So it may come as little surprise to some that nearly two-thirds of the consumers in this age group don't have a single credit card to their names. [More]
Shopping Healthier & Without Lists, Millennials Are Changing The Supermarket Game
Grocery shopping used to be a rather easy experience: you'd look in the cupboard, make a list and drive to the store to collect your goods. Simple right? Well, times they are a changin' and it's millennials who are pushing the supermarket industry in new directions.. [More]
Millennials' Inability To Commit To Monogamous Fast Food Relationships Is Hurting McDonald's
While it would be great for companies if all consumers agreed to go steady with just one of its suitors, choosing say, one fast food restaurant above all the rest and devoting themselves entirely to that relationship, that's just not how it works. We consumers like to play the field, especially millennials, and that's bad news for companies like McDonald's. [More]
Report: Millennials Feel Overwhelmed By Debt, But They See A Bright Future Ahead

Millennials Who Chose Not To Attend College Are More Likely To Live In Poverty Than Past Generations
The always rising cost of tuition and the number of students graduating college with significant debt might be enough to turn some away from getting a college education. But a new study by the Pew Research Center found that not going to college could be an even more expensive decision. [More]
Olive Garden Pursues Millennial Foodies With Tuscan Tapas
Traditionally, people have gone to Olive Garden when they feel like consuming theoretically infinite salad and breadsticks and miles of pasta. Portions are large enough to form at least two meals. Aren't they? The chain is trying something new in some markets, and taking it nationwide: small plates for groups to share, instead of giant carb platters. [More]
Young Adults Not Eager To Take On Piles Of Credit Card Debt For Some Reason
Everyone has that one relative who was an adult during the Great Depression and hid boxes of cash all over the house because they didn't trust banks. Someday, your own descendants might share tales of weird old Aunt Mykayla, who entered the workforce during the Great Recession and refused to get credit cards or even buy a car. [More]
Campbell's Opens Pop-Up Hipster Soup Kitchens To Promote Soulless $3 Soup Pouches
Millennials, an age group roughly defined as "people who make the Consumerist editors feel old," are a tough demographic to market to. How to reach them? "Free food" is usually a safe answer. That's why Campbell's is holding free soup events in big cities to promote their few products, $3 microwaveable soup pouches filled with the flavors foodies were crazy about in 2008. [More]
Today's Young Adults: Home Ownership's Lost Generation
The housing market is stalled, and the reason why is pretty simple: young adults aren't all that interested in buying houses. It's not hard to see why. Americans who are currently between 25 and 34 spent their formative years watching housing prices soar, then abruptly collapse, taking the entire global economy with them. Among those Millennials who haven't already purchased and lost an underwater home…who wants to buy a starter condo after that? [More]
Study: Baby Boomers Are "Savvy Shoppers" Who Brand-Jump More Than Younger Generations
It's time once again to play Categorize The Shopping Public, this time using a survey commissioned by TV Land to convince advertisers that its Boomer-centric programming is relevant. If you or someone you know is between the ages of 40-59, you won't want to miss this very important message—but to summarize it for the ADD crowd, it seems younger folks are (slightly) more likely to choose a brand based on fashion and hype, whereas Boomers are (slightly) less brand-loyal and seek greater value. This runs counter to the conventional wisdom that younger consumers are savvier shoppers, and gives Boomers something to gloat over—before they forget what it is they're gloating about. Ha ha! Old people are so old!

Stocks pulled back a little last week. This might be some of the profit taking as stocks have been a little too hot lately. The next few weeks will see a few big reports about the economy. The direction of the next few weeks will depend on how these reports look and also on how overheated investors think this rally has been.

Amber Rose on Kim Kardashian Accusations: Just Keeping It Real!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
Amber Rose is not backing down from her allegation in this week's issue of Star.
Yes, Kim Kardashian slept with Kanye West while she was dating Reggie Bush and the rapper was dating Rose and if you have a problem with Amber opening up about this supposed fact... tough.
"After being asked the same questions over and over in every interview for so long I had to be honest and get this off my chest," Rose Tweeted yesterday. "I don't lie, I don't embellish I'm not trying to hurt anyone just setting the record straight."
She also referred to boyfriend Wiz Khalifa as "my Angel and soulmate."
Meanwhile, In Touch Weekly is also hopping on the Kim-is-a-homewrecker train. That tabloid claims Kardashian encouraged friend Carla DiBello to hook up with a married Kobe Bryant, leading to what will be a very expensive divorce for the baller from wife Vanessa.

The BCS Bowl announcements are coming tonight and with it are the announcements of the other slew of bowl games that will be played over the holiday season. One of those bowl games is the Gator Bowl which this year will feature two very interesting teams meeting in an intriguing matchup.
It's going to be a rematch game but the Georgia Bulldogs and Nebraska Cornhuskers will be battling it out in the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville this year. It was rough years for both teams with the Bulldogs watching a season they hoped could end with a title shot instead end with the team heading to the Gator Bowl. Still, Georgia isn't a team that doesn't take pride in everything they do and you'd better believe they're coming out swinging in the Gator Bowl.
The team that will try to parry those blows is a team that suffered through their own turmoil before landing in the Gator Bowl. From the early season controversy surrounding Bo Pelini to the team not coming close to contending in the Big 10, to end things at the Gator Bowl is actually a blessing for the Cornhuskers.
Date: January 1, 2014
Start Time: 12pm ET
Location: Jacksonville, Fla.
Stadium: EverBank Field
TV Info: ESPN2
Live Stream: Watch ESPN
Tags: Nebraska Cornhuskers

In 1994 I was diagnosed with celiac disease, which led me to create Celiac.com in 1995. I created this site for a single purpose: To help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives. Celiac.com was the first site on the Internet dedicated solely to celiac disease, and since then it has become an invaluable resource to people worldwide who seek information about celiac disease and the gluten-free diet.
In 1998 I created The Gluten-Free Mall, Your Special Diet Superstore! which was also another Internet first—it was the first gluten-free food site to offer a shopping cart-style interface, and the ability for people to order gluten-free products manufactured by many different companies at a single Web site.
I am also co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of Journal of Gluten Sensitivity.

With Brandon Dubinsky re-signed to a new four-year, $16.8m contract yesterday, the Rangers' focus now turns to their last remaining restricted free-agent, alternate captain Ryan Callahan.
Before yesterday, many would have expected the pair to sign-on to similar long-term deals, something which should not have changed since. To argue their respective importance would be asinine; both Dubinsky and Callahan are equally important to the long-term future of this team and as such I would be very surprised if the latter didn't put pen to paper on a Dubinsky-esque deal before next Thursday's arbitration hearing in Toronto.
Join me after the jump as we take a look at the respective situations concerning two of the Rangers most important players…
As I mentioned before the jump, arguing the individual importance – or more specifically, comparing their importance – to the Rangers would be a thankless task. Both play with an edge and both have similar leadership aspects that see their values rise far beyond their on-ice statistics. Both have trended upwards offensively over the past few seasons, Callahan impressively posting career-bests in terms of goals, assists and points last year despite missing a whopping 22 games through injury.
It's for that reason that Callahan should be expected to sign a similar deal to Dubinsky at some point during the next six days. 4-5 years, perhaps, at around or just above Dubinsky's $4.2m annual cap-hit. It could be slightly less and it could be slightly more depending on the years involved, but it'll certainly be in the same ballpark as yesterday's deal. Callahan, in his own words, would certainly like to avoid arbitration next week and feels Dubinsky's contract lays the groundwork for his deal;
"I think it lays the groundwork for my deal", Callahan said on Thursday.
"I'd love to avoid it [arbitration]. I don't want to go to arbitration and I don't think the Rangers want to either. Hopefully we can get something done."
"I love playing for the Rangers. I love living in New York City, and playing in front of the fans in Madison Square Garden is second to none."
In terms of unrestricted free-agent years, it has to be noted that Callahan is UFA eligible after next season whereas Dubinsky still has two years of restricted free-agency to run. For that reason it would be pretty safe to assume that Callahan may receive slightly more than Dubinsky on a long-term deal due to buying out an extra UFA year on his contract.
Similar players with similar styles, but buying out that extra UFA year from Callahan will make a slight difference and heighten his cap-hit narrowly above Dubinsky's. That's assuming we're looking at another four-year deal here, which we may not be.
Either way, locking both up to long-term deals would represent a significant marker for the Rangers in terms of solidifying their roster over the next 3-4 years. With Dubinsky, Callahan (hypothetically), Henrik Lundqvist, Marc Staal, Dan Girardi, Marian Gaborik and Brad Richards all signed for at least the next three seasons, it represents a window of opportunity within which the Blueshirts needn't worry about their core players in the off-season.

Blitzen is loving vacation and wearing her little girl self out! Asleep at 7:30pm 2 nights in a row. Today we woke at 5:30am, watched a little tv (we're on vacation!) and left the apartment that we rented at 7am to head to my mom's to swim. Swam for 2 hours, went to visit Andrew's dad and swam for 2 hours, lunch under duress, went to an open gym thing with new bf (my niece) then headed back to swimming for another 2 hours. Early dinner with my family, then collapsed into bed. What a day! I guess a cumulative 6 hours in the water in 115 degrees will do that.

Tomorrow, we're leaving on vacation. We're taking a very long plane ride to Phoenix, Az to visit with my family and Andrew's father. It is going to be hot. We have lots of sunscreen and sun hats plus lightweight sweaters because Blitzen always gets cold in air conditioning, and Phoenix is nothing, if not air conditioned. We'll be driving to San Diego in the middle of the week to play in the ocean and go to Sea World. It is going to be great. (Or so I keep telling myself).
No, really, it is going to be great. Both my mom and Andrew's dad are certified back-ups, so I am hoping for a Blitzen-free outing or two somewhere along the way. And there will be kids there, my nieces and nephew – so hopefully, Blitzen won't want to have anything to do with us. Maybe she'll just want to play with the kids. Of course, she is going to pretty pissed that I also want to play with the kids sometimes.
We rented our own little vacation condo in Phx — that was a smart move, it will be well worth the investment. I am thinking that we'll have our fair share of melty evenings and tantrum-y mornings. but there is a pool, everything is better when you can wake up and jump right into the pool. Maybe the sun will bake some of the surly outta Blitzen. Maybe I'll feel a little more energetic and refreshed once I get a good dose of vitamin D. Maybe I'll cough up the $45 per person extra that they charge at Sea World so that we can all pet a dolphin (or maybe you get to pet the penguins for $45 and the dolphins cost $250???) No matter, our first official family vacation. It'll be great! (Did I mention that it'll be great?)
Good days, bad days
Posted in Agency, Blitzen, tagged bio mom, Blitzen, Foster care, foster parenting, parenting, support on June 27, 2012 | 4 Comments »
Well, everyone has good days and everyone has bad days. Blitzen and I did not have our best day on Monday. She was churned up – I am not entirely sure why. It could have been because it was a therapy day, could have been because bio-Mom totally bailed on the weekend's scheduled visit, could of been that we had too much fun at the mermaid parade and for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Or it could have been that I just could not let the crazy go. A lot of the time, I can — I let the crazy just take off and run itself out and collapse onto the floor exhausted and spent. Some days, I can't and I stand in my own kitchen and try to argue and reason with crazy. I say, 'Really, I hate you? I never spend any time with you? I am terrible and mean, really???? This is how you see the past 8 months?!?'
And I know that it is not about me, I do. I try to take a step back and really listen and hear her. But it is hard, she loves to bring up every mistake that I have made since taking on this parenting gig.
For example, she might proclaim, 'Whenever we have a fight, you stomp out of the house, you run out, you go to work and leave me all by myself.' Yeah, well, last week I did get exasperated and fed-up and maxed out and I did say that I was going to work when you were acting like a lunatic and screaming at me but you also may want to recall that when you started sobbing 'Don't leave me,' that I sat down on the porch steps and invited you outside and combed your hair and talked about it all. I understand that no 9 year old remembers that the last part – it is all about the first part, especially for kids with a trauma history. But it is exhausting to beat yourself up about your less than perfect moments and then, have someone else remind you about them too. Uggh, oh well. We'll have better days, I am sure, and I am hoping that vacation brings some space and peace and relaxation (please dear god just a little bit) for the entire family.
The Mermaid Parade
Posted in Blitzen, tagged adventure, Blitzen, Foster care, foster parenting, imaginative play, mermaids, parenting, support, swimming, village on June 26, 2012 | 5 Comments »
The Mermaid Parade can now officially be listed as one of the reasons why it is great to live in NYC and raise a child here. Because there is an actual parade, just for mermaids, and anyone can participate.
We went, ready to get our fill of mermaid madness. But we stopped at the beach and stayed at the beach — turns out maybe Blitzen had never been to the beach.* She put on her mermaid tail and swam out to sea. Just a little bit because she is pretty worried about sharks. But still, it was an impressive sight. The other kids were amazed – you have your own tail?!? And you know how to swim in it!?!
My Aunt joined us for the fun and adventure. When it became clear that we may never make it to the parade, I reminded her of the time, when I was 11 or so, that she took me and my sister to a really fancy waterpark to do the rides and the waterslides and stuff. This park also had a wave pool. Well, we stopped at the wave pool and stayed at the wave pool. She could have taken us to the jersey shore for free! But it was all fine, everyone had a great time that day, many, many years ago. And everyone had a great time this weekend although Andrew and I were laughing about the fact that Coney Island is there every day of the year and of course, we went on the busy day of the year and ended up just swimming in the ocean and going to the aquarium. I love these parenting lessons — the box is always way cooler than the toy inside. I am learning, slowly…..
*Internet, you might say to me, Carrie, why don't you just ask Blitzen if she has ever been to the beach? Why, because if I do that, Blitzen will repeat back a story that she has heard about me and my siblings at the beach but with embellishments. And it will sound a little something like this, "We went to the beach for a picnic and my little sister dropped her sandwich on the ground and it got all sandy. But wait, it didn't just get sandy, about 40 jellyfish got stuck onto it too plus a seagull tried to steal it but when the seagull flew away over the ocean, a dolphin jumped out of the water and stole the sandwich from the seagull. It was really funny. My mom used to take us the beach all the time and that would always happen."
FTC conference
Posted in Agency, Blitzen, Family Visits, tagged agency, bio mom, Blitzen, Foster care, foster parenting, Nana, parenting, support on June 25, 2012 | 7 Comments »
Thank you, internet, for all the well-wishes last Monday and caring queries about how it went.
I still haven't blogged about the IEP meeting that we had in early June. Let me just say that I didn't think, following that meeting, that I could possibly attend a more disorganized, unprofessional and frankly, illegal meeting ever again. Oh, well, I was wrong. The FTC meeting was NUTS, I mean crazy, bizarre, whacko, infuriating. And not because of bio-Mom or bio-Mom's partner. They stayed relatively cool – they had their heated moments and it is clear they are angry. But they showed up, they had their documents and their notebooks and they were ready to participate and engage.
I've mentioned before that we are a tale of two agencies. The agency that we work with (not perfect by any standard but relatively communicative, professional and on the ball) and the original agency which still manages 3 of the children, bio-mom and the permanency planning. Agency number 2 is a mess. And I witnessed it for myself after being told this for months by various sources. I can't give details but they were disrespectful, uncooperative, abrasive and rude. It made me want to believe Nana's cockamamy theory that they are falsifying documents just to be sure that bio-Mom fails. 5 minutes in and I could see it was a set up, a recipe designed to create a disaster. How could bio-Mom possibly succeed with these people as her supports and advocates?
Much like our joke of an IEP meeting, it reminded me of high school. Do you remember your first job? Was it at a fast food establishment or low end retail outlet? Did you get to watch, on your first day, a really silly video where some employee did the exact opposite of what one is supposed to do? Maybe it was a video of a slovenly, inattentive young person deep-frying his name badge along with the french fries or someone wondering around a clothing store with their open cash drawer, asking a customer to 'just hold this money for me for a minute' — all very Goofus and Gallant with a major emphasis on Goofus. It was exactly what everyone says is awful about the child welfare system.
All of that aside, I had a really nice conversation with Blitzen's mom. But the extended family is as fractured as I thought. Bio-mom no longer thinks Nana is the right placement for any of the kids. Oh boy….

Dress up
Posted in Blitzen, Uncategorized, tagged Blitzen, Foster care, foster parenting, imaginative play on June 22, 2012 | 6 Comments »
Blitzen loves to get dressed up. She also loves to play and run around and create stuff and get dirty so her wardrobe is a funny mix of dresses and leggings and tshirts. If you ask her what she would like to wear, the answer is almost always – pink and purple. We have lots of pink and purple!
Blitzen also like s to choose outfits for Andrew and me, occassionally. Before bed, she will go to everyone's closet – hers first – and identify what she thinks everyone should wear. She likes it if we all match. Thursday was a blue day. Andrew, Carrie, Blitzen all dressed in blue.

It was only a matter of time. After watching Sponsored Content (and please don't call it 'native advertising') go from objectivity-crushing crazy talk to the savior of the news industry, this morning the Atlantic gave us our first full-scale sponsored content backlash.
The piece was instantly derided as propaganda thanks to gems such as:
"Mr. Miscavige is unrelenting in his work for millions of parishioners and the cities served by Scientology Churches. He has led a renaissance for the religion itself, while driving worldwide programs to serve communities through Church-sponsored social and humanitarian initiatives."
The backlash was swift and led to a prompt takedown along with an apology:
"We screwed up," The Atlantic said in a statement. "It shouldn't have taken a wave of constructive criticism — but it has — to alert us that we've made a mistake, possibly several mistakes. We now realize that as we explored new forms of digital advertising, we failed to update the policies that must govern the decisions we make along the way."
Many outlets began questioning the entire notion of sponsored content, and that dirty word "advertorial" began to be thrown around left and right. Anyone who thinks this is a step back for sponsored content is missing the bigger picture. It's far more a reflection of just where advertising teams fall in The Atlantic totem pole. It's obvious that this article was not written alongside any Atlantic creative and was just thrown into the queue and not vetted to reflect The Atlantic values and beliefs, and in turn, appeal to The Atlantic audience. A few weeks ago I wrote about the way the new media property of the Atlantic, Quartz News, approaches this type of innovative advertising:
Quartz has loudly proclaimed their dedication to the idea, yet is not quite there. I've seen the same Chevron and NASA story for months now. More importantly, it may look like their other articles, but it certainly doesn't feel like them. Their product and editorial output are on the forefront of social news, yet how many times do you think the Chevron piece has been shared?
Guess what? Those pieces are still up there and still terrible. Each piece of sponsored content should every editorial quality standard imposed for original content. I don't say this from a point of journalistic integrity, I say this because it's the only way it will be worth the money the advertiser is paying for it. Buzzfeed has gotten it, Slate and even Business Insider appears to have gotten it a bit.. This whole kerfuffle has nothing to do with the potential value of sponsored content, but everything to do with how much effort The Atlantic places in creating great pieces of relevant content that happen to be paid for.

Although it was reported earlier that the Cleveland Browns and San Fransisco 49ers were discussing a deal that would send wide receiver Josh Gordon to the Niners, it appears that a deal is unlikely to get done. While San Fransisco has been searching for contributions from a third receiver, with Mario Manningham returning form the Physical Unable to Perform list and Michael Crabtree set to make his season debut in November, the team will likely just hold out until they are back to full strength.
ESPN's Adam Schefter was first to report that the deal was unlikely, just a few hours after it was reported that the teams were in talks.
San Fransisco has reverted back to its old habits and become a power running team again. Rather than putting quarterback Colin Kaepernick in harm's way on the edge, they keep running Frank Gore between the tackles. While a receiver of Gordon's talent could put the 49ers over the top offensively, it remains unclear whether or not it would be worth the risk taking on his troubles off the field with two of receivers of their own on pace to return in the near future.
For now, Jim Harbaugh will hope that former Kansas City Chief and Pittsburgh Panther, Jonathan Baldwin can support the likes of Anquan Boldin and tight end Vernon Davis.

It's literally the coolest DSLR astrophotography accessory to come along in years. This insulated, thermoelectrically cooled chamber for select Canon DSLRs chills the camera's imaging sensor, significantly reducing troublesome thermal noise in your astrophotos. When you're imaging the night sky in warm or hot weather, especially, such noise can wreak havoc on deep-sky images. Now, here's an affordable solution. Unlike many specialized astronomical CCD cameras, DSLRs do not have an internal cooling system. The Orion DSLR Camera Cooler acts as an external Peltier cooling system, which lowers the temperature inside the sealed chamber up to -43F (-24C) from ambient. And it works fast, achieving a temperature delta of -30F or more in just 30 minutes. This noise reduction allows longer exposures and less work in post-processing, resulting in smoother, more highly resolved, better images. Unlike direct-cooling Peltier installations that permanently alter your camera (and void your manufacturer's warranty), the DSLR Cooler requires no camera modification. The DSLR Camera Cooler is compatible only with select Canon EOS cameras widely used by astrophotographers: 1100D (T3), 550D (T2i), 500D (T1i), 1000D (XS), 450D (XSi), 400D (XTi), and 350D (XT). The Orion DSLR Cooler runs on external 12V power and draws 4 amps, so we recommend using a marine-type battery of at least 30 amp-hours or AC power via the optional AC-to-DC power adapter. A DC auto-lighter cable is included.

Wooden mouse lends classy touch of nature
22nd Oct 2008 | 00:08
Pricey, but better than those wood-look mice made with sticky-back plastic
Modern life getting you down? Tired of endless bad news on telly. Then why not add an old-fashioned touch to your life with an all-natural computer mouse.
Well, monoDO, the Japanese company behind the Play Mouse says it's all natural, but we suspect the innards may owe a little to modern engineering. Still, replacing that nasty plastic shell with real wood is a start.
Walnut topping
The ¥9,800 (£57) Play Mouse is currently available only in Japan and comes in a choice of maple or walnut.
Maker monoDO says it enlisted the help of a band of master carpenters to make the mouse, but we just wish they'd stuck to plywood and made the thing a hefty chunk cheaper.

Fixing backup / iOS updates
I was experiencing the same thing, but it was ever since installing XCode 4, and it had nothing to do with free space (my phone is 16BG iPhone 4 with 5.4 GB free). I had to follow an apple KB article that removed some stuff in /System/Library and reinstalled iTunes. I'll post the article link later once I'm back at my personal computer again. Edit: I looked again, and I was actually receiving a similar, but different error message. Perhaps I'll have to submit a Hint on it.

Parent involvement
It Has A Amazing Honor Society Program. and the mathematic's teachers are excellent My Daughter is getting alot of education Here
i love this school its great u could find great freindsall the teachers r nice they suppot the students the teachers stay hours in school helping and tutoring students achieve their goals . people refer hosler as a really bad school because it has a appearence. like its .people only care about the appearence.parents try to change their kids to cesar chavez just because ceasar chavez middle school because they have escalators and its a new school so all to gether it means they only love cesar chavez because its appearence. Parents should mostly care about the teachers and the education there children are getting. SINCERELY, A STUDENT
This school needs a lot of improvement from children security, academics as well as more improved and carefully reviewed teacher's curriculums.
This school might not be the most secure school but its a school that cares about the student.. Maybe us students lack in a case but we care are education maybe the district describes us as the worst school form Lynwood but i have to say that not true.. in my opinion we have the best teachers we dont have the many activities because the distrct dosnt give us the money it supposed to be it give us money like if we were still in elementry ..so parents please chekk what is really goign onn and then you put your comments ... thanks you
I love this school but we need to have more fun activities. The teachers are cool and fair. The only bad thing is the security guards. They need to protect more and be fair.
The Security guards have to focus on protecting the students from one another. On the day I went to register my child there was a girl fight. Since my child has been enrolled (about 8 months now) he has been kicked in the butt so hard that he had trouble sitting and has had gum stuck in his hair twice each. Forget aobut calling me 15 times a week to inform me of events that have allready passed. protect our children from themselves
I love this school is so fun and the principal mr butler is so cool. I love most of the teachers because they are not mean.
This school is not secure at all. Kids need to have more school activities such as field trips and a better education. But then again some of the teachers need to be more strict with their students. Also, the school needs to notify parents when their child is acting up.
The securities need to be more gentle with the kids. The kids need more fun such as more fun activities, field trips. They is way to much rules. like the dress code.
This is the first year that my son attends this school and I found that this school needs a lot of improvement. They need to offer more tutoring classes. They need to improve in there security. I got the impression that most of the teachers there are only there for the pay.
This school is not so good. They have rude, lazy staff. The security men need to improve their attitudes and how they treat students. To rap this up I think it could improve dramaticly.
