Brewers claim utility man Elian Herrera off waivers from L.A. Dodgers
The Milwaukee Brewers added to their infield depth on Monday, claiming utility man Elian Herrera off waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Herrera, 28, has played a total of 71 games over the past two seasons with the Dodgers, hitting .251 with one home run and 17 runs batted in.
The 5-foot-10, 190-pound Herrera is a switch hitter who received the bulk of his major-league action in 2012, when he saw time at second base, third base, shortstop and all three outfield positions. »Read Full Blog Post(22)

Agreements reached for new Nashville ballpark
Nashville mayor Karl Dean announced Friday that agreements had been reached with the State of Tennessee, the Class AAA Nashville Sounds and a leading multi-family developer for a public-private partnership that would allow the building of a new ballpark in the Sulphur Dell area of the city to open for the 2015 season.
The Sounds are the Class AAA affiliate of the Brewers, who have been an advocate of a new facility for the club for years. The Brewers have been affiliated with Nashville since 2005 and their current working agreement goes through the 2014 season. The team has played in aging and fading Greer Stadium, a substandard facility that opened in 1978 and out-lived its usefulness long ago.
Details of the proposal and a financing plan will be presented to the Nashville Sports Authority and the Metro Council during two information sessions on Monday. The plan includes agreements with the State of Tennessee, the Sounds, who would lease the ballpark from the Metro, and Embrey Development Corp., a multi-family developer that agreed to swap property with Metro at the proposed site. »Read Full Blog Post(9)
Brewers announce 2014 bobblehead dates
The Milwaukee Brewers on Monday announced eight All-Fan Bobblehead Dates on their promotional schedule during the 2014 season.
All bobblehead dates are scheduled on Sundays and the collectibles will include current and former players. In addition, the team will debut a new series of all-fan giveaways for 2014, "T-Shirt Fridays."

On Father's Day at Miller Park, June 15 as the Brewers take on the Cincinnati Reds, fans will receive a unique bobblehead to add to their collection. The "Vintage Brewers Bobblehead" will be a "nod" to the past as it will be a replica of the first bobbleheads ever created nearly 50 years ago.
Brewers rightfielder Norichika Aoki will be wearing a unique Brewers uniform on his bobblehead that all-fans will receive on June 29 when the Brewers take on the Colorado Rockies. Aoki's uniform will feature the script "Brewers" in Japanese.
The next bobblehead date will be July 27 as the Brewers take on the New York Mets. The decision on which player will be featured on that bobblehead will be left up to the fans. Through a vote at Brewers.com, fans will be able to choose the player they want to see featured. Nominees and information on voting will be announced at a later date.
The Klement's Famous Racing Sausage Chorizo bobblehead will be featured on Aug. 10 when the Brewers take on the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Chorizo will be wearing a "Cerveceros" uniform.

On Friday home games during the months of June, July and August (June 13, June 27, July 11, July 25, Aug. 8 and Aug. 22), fans will receive a Brewers T-shirt that will be unique to that game.

Brewers coach Mike Guerrero wins Mike Coolbaugh Award
Minor League Baseball announced Wednesday that it has selected new Brewers coach Mike Guerrero, who managed the Class AAA Nashville Sounds this year, as the winner of the sixth annual Mike Coolbaugh Award, presented to an individual who has shown an outstanding baseball work ethic, knowledge of the game and skill in mentoring young players on the field.
The award, named after the late minor-league coach, will be presented to Guerrero at baseball's winter meetings in Orlando, Fla., on Thursday, Dec. 12. Coolbaugh died in July 2007 after being struck by a line drive while working as a first-base coach for the Class AA Tulsa Drillers in Colorado's farm system.
Guerrero completed his 18th year as a minor-league manager in 2013 and his 17th in the Brewers' organization. His first job as a manager was in 1995, when he skippered Toronto's affiliate in the Dominican Summer League. The following year, Guerrero joined the Brewers' organization as camp director and manager of their club in the Dominican Summer League. In 2003, after seven seasons in the DSL, he served as the hitting coach with the Beloit Snappers in the Midwest League.
Guerrero returned to managing in 2004 with Milwaukee's club in the Arizona League. After two seasons in the AZL, he steadily progressed through the Brewers' farm system, with managerial stints in Class A West Virginia (2006-'07) in the South Atlantic League; Class A Brevard County (2008-'09) in the Florida State League; and Class AA Huntsville (2010-'11) in the Southern League, before taking over in Nashville in 2012.
Guerrero, who played nine seasons in the Milwaukee (1987-'92, 1994-'95) and Kansas City (1993) organizations as a middle infielder, was added to the Brewers' coaching staff in late September. He is currently managing the Licey team in the Dominican Baseball League.
"Mike Guerrero has positively impacted the lives and development of many Milwaukee farmhands during his 17 years as a manager, which includes nearly every classification in their system," Pat O'Conner, President & CEO of Minor League Baseball, stated. "His tenure with the Brewers is a testament to Mike's work ethic and to the job that he has done in mentoring their players. The Brewers' recent promotion of him to the Major League staff speaks highly of how much they value Mike's coaching ability."
"I am honored to be chosen as this year's Mike Coolbaugh Award winner," said Guerrero. "It is my passion to help develop young players as they strive to achieve their goals of reaching the Major Leagues. I want to thank the Brewers organization for their commitment to me and I thank Minor League Baseball for honoring me with this award."
"On behalf of the Milwaukee Brewers, I congratulate Mike Guerrero as the recipient of the 2013 Mike Coolbaugh Award," said Brewers general manager Doug Melvin. "Mike has been a loyal member of the Brewers family for nearly 30 years as a player, coach and manager. He is a consummate team player and has been accepting of any role that we have asked of him within our organization. Through his dedication and hard work, Mike has impacted the development of a number of Brewers players over the years, including Prince Fielder, Yovani Gallardo, Jonathan Lucroy and Rickie Weeks. He has touched the lives of many players and has been a key contributor to the success of the organization."
Previous winners of the Mike Coolbaugh Award include Johnny Goryl (2012), Mike Jirschele (2011), Woody Huyke (2010), Charlie Montoyo (2009) and Bobby Jones (2008).
Video shows Corey Hart's recovery from knee surgeries
Creative Artists Agency, which represents Brewers free agent first baseman Corey Hart, posted a video on Twitter of a recent workout in which Hart shows good agility on his surgically repaired knees.
This video is merely a snippet of a longer video that CAA is showing teams with interest in Hart to prove that he has recovered from his knee surgeries.
Hart missed the entire 2013 season after undergoing surgery on his right knee in January and his left knee in July -- the second injury coming while he was rehabbing from the first procedure. »Read Full Blog Post(29)

Free agent Corey Hart awaiting medical clearance, offers
Free agent Corey Hart said Tuesday the Brewers are one of four teams who have called with interest in signing him but said nothing will happen until he gets medical clearance on Dec. 3.
In an interview on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM, Hart said the Brewers, Tampa Bay Rays, Boston Red Sox and Colorado Rockies have contacted his agent (Jeff Berry) but are awaiting a clean bill of health before making formal offers. Hart, 31, missed the entire 2013 season after undergoing surgery on both knees.
"I've talked to the Brewers and hopefully things work out," he said in the radio interview. "But being a free agent, you never know what's going to happen. I don't know what they're going to offer compared to other teams, so we're just kind of playing a waiting game there." »Read Full Blog Post(68)
Brewers add four minor-leaguers to 40-man roster
The Milwaukee Brewers added four minor-leaguers to their 40-man roster Wednesday, protecting them from being plucked away by another team in the Rule 5 draft of unprotected players in December.
The four players added are first baseman Hunter Morris, infielder/outfielder Jason Rogers, right-hander Brooks Hall and right-handed reliever Kevin Shackelford. Wednesday was the deadline for teams to protect players on their 40-man rosters.
Morris, Rogers and Shackelford were expected additions to the roster while Hall was a bit of a surprise. The moves left the Brewers with a full 40-man roster.
Morris, 25, considered one of the top 10 prospects in the organization, was the Brewers' 2012 minor-league player of the year at Class AA Huntsville but struggled for much of last season at Class AAA Nashville. In 134 games, the 2010 fourth-round draft pick batted .247 with 24 home runs and 73 runs batted in, with 122 strikeouts and a .310 on-base percentage.
The Brewers hoped Morris would profit from more at-bats in winter ball but his stint was cut short after three games with Margarita because of a knee injury. The knee continued to bother Morris to the point that he was brought to Milwaukee this week to be examined but assistant general manager Gord Ash said the injury was limited to a sprain with no structural damage.
Rogers, 25, a 32nd round draft pick in 2010, made a big leap forward this year at Huntsville. He batted .270 with 22 home runs and 87 RBI in 133 games, earning the organization's minor-league player of the year award. Rogers went to the Arizona Fall League to play the outfield and increase his versatility, and batted .311 with two homers and eight RBI in 18 games. Rogers is currently at the Brewers' baseball academy in the Dominican Republic, getting work at third base.
"He played some third base in college and dabbled with it in the fall instructional league," said Ash. "We want to see if he can adapt to that position. Anything that increases your versatility helps."
Shackelford, 24, was a 21st round draft pick in 2010 from Marshall, where he was a catcher until his junior year. He was 2-4 with a 3.08 ERA in 44 relief appearances for high Class A Brevard County and Huntsville, doing his best work at the latter stop with a 0.92 ERA and six saves in 20 outings. Shackelford played with Rogers on the Arizona Fall League-champion Surprise Saguaros and performed well.
"He started to come on at Huntsville in the latter part of the year," said Ash. "His breaking ball developed and was a big difference for him. He's very aggressive as well, which we like."
Hall, 23, was a fourth-round draft pick in 2009 out of high school in Anderson, S.C. He split the 2013 season between Brevard County and Huntsville, posting a 4-7 record and 3.40 ERA in 28 games (23 starts), with 112 hits and 41 walks allowed in 119 innings, and 79 strikeouts.
"He pitched well in Double-A in th second half of the year; seemed to really come on," said Ash. "You have to protect guys you like and might have a future with you. We felt that way with Hall. You don't want to see him in another camp doing what he could do here."
Brewers waiting for medical clearance on Corey Hart
Brewers assistant general manager Gord Ash said the team is waiting for free-agent first baseman Corey Hart to receive medical clearance to engage in baseball drills before deciding whether to make a contract offer. Hart said in a national radio interview Tuesday that he expects to receive that clearance on Dec. 3.
"Our thoughts are that we'd like to see his ability to do baseball drills and other activity," said Ash. "We'd like to have the opportunity to watch him take BP (batting practice) and other baseball drills. That doesn't mean on Dec. 4 he'll be able to do everything right away."
Hart has said he'd prefer to stay in Milwaukee if a deal can be worked out and Ash indicated there is mutual interest.
"We met with his group last week in Orlando (at the general managers meetings)," said Ash. "We will continue to monitor it. He is an incumbent as well. The fact that we know him to be a first-class individual, a passionate player and a positive influence in the clubhouse -- all those things we know. What we don't know right now is his physical ability as it relates to baseball."
Hart's agent, Jeff Berry, provided interested teams a video of Hart doing an extensive agility workout recently but he won't be allowed to do baseball activity until that Dec. 3 clearance from Los Angeles specialist Neal ElAttrache, who performed surgery on his left knee in July. Hart already had undergone surgery on his right knee in January and was rehabbing that injury when he injured the other knee.
Those knee injuries forced Hart to miss the entire 2013 season. He was on the final year of a three-year deal that paid him $10 million in 2013, and Hart said in late September he'd take less guaranteed money if a deal could be worked out with the Brewers. He said in his interview with the MLB Radio Network on SiriusXM that other teams have shown interest, including the Red Sox, Rays and Rockies. (33)
Doug Melvin: 'Absolutely nothing' to Ryan Braun trade rumors
As crazy as the Ryan Braun trade rumor involving the New York Mets seemed, I figured I'd check in this morning with Brewers general manager Doug Melvin. After all, the Tigers did trade Prince Fielder Wednesday to the Rangers despite nearly $170 million remaining on his contract.
Melvin said there was "absolutely nothing" to the rumor started on a blog in New York that the Brewers might be interested in trading Braun to the Mets, supposedly in a deal involving first baseman Ike Davis.
"We have no intentions of trading Ryan," said Melvin. "There's absolutely no truth to that. We've never contacted any team about Ryan." »Read Full Blog Post(217)
Brewers trade pitcher Burke Badenhop to Boston
The Milwaukee Brewers swapped pitchers on Friday afternoon, sending reliever Burke Badenhop to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for minor-league left-hander Luis Ortega.
Badenhop, 30, went 2-3 with a 3.47 earned-run average and one save in 63 relief appearances for the Brewers in 2013. The Brewers traded outfielder Raul Mondesi Jr. to the Tampa Bay Rays for Badenhop in last Dec. 1.
Badenhop is eligible for arbitration, which likely provided the impetus for the trade on the Brewers' behalf. He had a $1.55 million salary last season. The Brewers have less-expensive alternatives to pitch in middle relief such as Donovan Hand, Rob Wooten and Michael Blazek, all of whom saw action last season. »Read Full Blog Post(42)
Nashville manager Darnell Coles joins Detroit coaching staff
The Detroit Tigers are ruining the Brewers' managerial plans for the top of their farm system in 2014.
Newly named Class AAA Nashville manager Darnell Coles left Monday without managing a game when he accepted a position as Detroit's assistant hitting coach. Coles served as a minor-league roving hitting instructor in the Brewers' system before serving the past two seasons as the manager at Class AA Huntsville.
Coles had been selected to succeed Nashville manager Mike Guerrero, who was elevated to the Brewers' coaching staff after the 2013 season. »Read Full Blog Post(11)
Ryan Braun to talk to media at Brewers charity event
UPDATE: Read transcript of news conference.
Ryan Braun is expected to talk to the media Wednesday morning -- sometime around 9 a.m. -- for the first time since accepting a season-ending, 65-game suspension for his performance-enhancing drug link to the infamous Biogenesis clinic.
Braun is participating in Brewers Charities' food drive in conjunction with the Hunger Task Force at Helfaer Field, adjacent to Miller Park. The Brewers' embattled left fielder is expected to take a break at some point and speak briefly with members of the media. »Read Full Blog Post(32)
Transcript: Ryan Braun addresses media about PEDs
On a chilly Wednesday morning, and for the first time since being suspended for 65 games by Major League Baseball, Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun addressed the media.
Braun's appearance came at the end of his taking food donations outside Helfaer Field, in the shadow of Miller Park.
With temperatures hovering around 15 degrees and a brisk wind blowing, Braun stood in front of a bank of microphones and after an initial welcome opened the floor to questions. »Read Full Blog Post(164)
Ryan Braun, Dino Laurenzi Jr. and dinner
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun's media session on Wednesday morning was just short of 15 minutes long.
Easily the most newsworthy item to be gleaned from what Braun had to say was the fact he and his fiancee, Larisa Fraser, had dinner with Dino Laurenzi Jr. and his family on Tuesday evening.
That was divulged by Braun four questions in, after he was asked if he'd apologized to Laurenzi -- the specimen collector from Racine who was slammed by Braun on Feb. 24, 2012 in the wake of his successful appeal of a PED suspension -- or had made any payments to him. »Read Full Blog Post(43)

Baltimore Comic-Con Report!
October 17, 2014 by Anthony Aycock
Filed under Comic Books, Con Reports and Photos, Cosplay, Maryland, Science Fiction and Fantasy, Top Stories
Who watches the Watchmen? A few hundred people at least, all of whom were in line ahead of me at last month's Baltimore Comic-Con (Sept. 5-7) for Dave Gibbons's autograph.
Gibbons is, of course, the artist behind Watchmen, the 12-issue miniseries published by DC in the mid-80s. The accolades heaped on Watchmen are as legendary as the series itself. It was the only graphic novel to appear on Time's 2005 "100 Greatest Novels" list, and it appeared again in 2009 on the magazine's "Top 10 Graphic Novels" list. In 2008, Entertainment Weekly ranked Watchmen thirteenth on its list of the best 50 novels printed in the last 25 years, calling it "the greatest superhero story ever told and proof that comics are capable of smart, emotionally resonant narratives."
I have loved Watchmen since it came out, and when I saw that Gibbons, who lives in the UK, would be in Baltimore, I booked my flight immediately. By "flight," I mean I got up at 5:00am and drove the six hours from Raleigh, NC, passing through Washington just miles from the White House and getting stuck in horrendous construction-related traffic that even President Obama is, apparently, powerless to prevent. Other great artists and writers were there, including Steve Leialoha, Walter and Louise Simonson, Greg Capullo, David Finch, and Al Milgrom, who does few conventions these days. Denny O'Neil left early due to a family emergency, and the wait for George Perez was four hours (!), according to one woman who endured it.
But Gibbons was, for me, the star of the show. I waited about an hour in his line, and when I got to the table, I found him to be gracious, funny, and down-to-earth. He was impressed by my Graphitti edition Watchmen hardcover (the first graphic novel version of the series) and my Marvel Comics Doctor Who #1 (for the wife, a consecrated Whovian). But he oohed and ahhed—actually, we all did—over something another guy had: the 1994 computer game Beneath a Steel Sky, still in the box. Gibbons did the background art for this game, and he said he had never signed a copy before. Get it on eBay, young man!
The Baltimore Comic-Con has long been a two-day affair. This was its first year spanning a third day, and everyone I talked to thought it a success. Vendors especially were pumped-up because their rate stayed roughly the same despite the extra day. They also praised the convention staff for being responsive and professional. Sales were good, too: one dealer sold an Action Comics #252 (first appearance of Supergirl) for $900.
Dr. Chilton, the captor/tormentor of Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs, says that Baltimore "can be quite a fun town, if you have the right guide." The only guide I needed was the folks at this year's Comic-Con. As you are planning your convention schedule for next year, mark down September 25-27 in Baltimore. It won't be a baaa-d decision.
They don't look like minions, but I'll take their word for it.
Deadpool doing what Deadpool does.
Hello, Walter Simonson!
Hello, Louise Simonson!
Don't blink. Or wink. Or think about blinking or winking. Especially when drinking.
The line to see Dave Gibbons.
And, finally, Dave Gibbons, holding my newly-signed Watchmen hardcover (which, if it were shirt, I would never wash again).

As far as cover artists working in comics today, Adam Hughes is among the very best.

His most recent work includes the Before Watchmen mini-series, Dr. Manhattan. Hughes won the Harvey Award for Best Cover Artist in 2001, 2002, and 2003.

His name is synonymous with the Legion of Super-Heroes, which he wrote from 1977-1979 and 1981-1989, and he created such notable characters as the Stalker, the Earth-2 Huntress, and Lucien the Librarian. Levitz has since returned to writing the Legion of Super-Heroes for the New 52, as well as the Earth-2 centric book, World's Finest.

Comments Off on NYC – Comics Out Loud
Walter Simonson, Louise Simonson, Bob Wiacek, Chris Sotomayor, John Workman, and Danny Fingeroth appear at the Society of Illustrators on Saturday, January 28th, 2012.
Press Release:
Comic books (and their cousins, graphic novels) are something we're all familiar with from childhood on. But if you're not involved in making them, how they come to be can seem a little mysterious and intimidating. Now, the curtain is pulled back as comics editor and writer DANNY FINGEROTH, in collaboration with THE SOCIETY OF ILLUSTRATORS presents:
In a manner similar to the Society's acclaimed ART OUT LOUD events, COMICS OUT LOUD will feature top comic book creators—one from each discipline of the medium—demonstrating and discussing their work processes as attendees circulate around the room and watch the process of "sequential art" (as the great Will Eisner dubbed it) being made.
You'll get to watch writer LOUISE SIMONSON, penciler WALT SIMONSON, inker BOB WIACEK, colorist CHRIS SOTOMAYOR, and letterer JOHN WORKMAN as they ply their crafts. Each creator will be working on a current assignment, so that attendees will get a sense of how team-created comics come to be. Event organizer, and longtime comics editor, DANNY FINGEROTH, will be on hand to discuss and demonstrate the role of the editor in the comic book making process.
COMICS OUT LOUD will be a rare opportunity to see top creators doing—and speaking about—their work. You will have the chance to find out everything you always wanted to know about making comics, but were afraid—or didn't even know—to ask!
$50 non-members, $40 members, $20 students
Food will be available for an additional $5.
Purchase tickets here!
LOUISE SIMONSON [writer] has written and edited comic books for many years, including those in the superhero, science fiction, horror, and fantasy genres. Her Marvel work includes the award-winning Power Pack; best selling X-Factor and New Mutants; Wolverine: Meltdown, co-written with her husband, Walter ; and Web of Spider-Man. Her DC Comics work includes Superman: Man of Steel, featuring the Death and Return of Superman storylines; Steel; and World of Warcraft. She has also written 23 books for kids and adults. She is currently writing a Young Adult dark urban fantasy novel and a Rocketeer story for IDW.
WALT SIMONSON [penciler] is a triple-threat talent, lauded for his work as writer, penciler, and inker. His first professional artwork appeared in 1973 in DC's Weird War Tales. He gained prominence with his collaboration with Archie Goodwin on the Manhunter feature, and from there went on to many triumphs, including landmark runs on The Mighty Thor, The Fantastic Four (both of which he wrote, penciled and inked), and Michael Moorcock's Elric.
BOB WIACEK [inker], one of the industry's top embellishers, has inked over such pencilers as Carmine Infantino on Star Wars, John Romita Jr. on The Uncanny X-Men, June Brigman on Power Pack, John Byrne on Sensational She-Hulk, Walter Simonson on X-Factor, and George Pérez on The Brave and the Bold, volume 2.
CHRIS SOTOMAYOR [colorist] has the reputation of being one of the best—and fastest—color artists in the comics business, and has been a mainstay at Marvel Comics since 1996. He's proven himself time and again, having worked on their top properties, including Spider-Man, X-Men, Daredevil, Captain America, Hulk, and many others, as well as working on titles for DC, Image and Humanoids.
JOHN WORKMAN [letterer] was born in the mid-twentieth century. He discovered comics at an early age and was struck by the uniqueness of the medium. His plans to be a lawyer flew out the window, and he began to experiment with all the elements that make up the creation of comics stories. His favorite time spent in comics over the last 44 years was the period (1977-1984) during which he was the Art Director for Heavy Metal magazine. He edited, wrote, penciled, inked, colored, lettered, and handled production on thousands of comics pages, all the time attempting to boost sales of the publication and to present comics material to a large worldwide audience. In the years since the HM days, he has become known primarily for his lettering, though he continues to do everything else that it takes to come up with a comics story.
DANNY FINGEROTH [curator] is Sr. VP of Education at SoHo's Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art (MoCCA), where he co-curated exhibitions of the work of Al Jaffee and Will Eisner. He was Group Editor of Marvel's Spider-Man line and has written many comics featuring Spider-Man and other icons. He is co-author of How to Create Comics from Script to Print; author of Superman on the Couch: What Superheroes Really Tell Us About Ourselves and Our Society; and co-editor of the recent The Stan Lee Universe, a compendium of rarities from and about the co-creator of Spider-Man, the X-Men, and so many others, published by TwoMorrows.

Is there some easy way of looking up the name of the dpkg package for a given pkg-config package?

Creating a Bootable CD using Acronis True Image
Acronis True Image comes with a handy feature to create a bootable CD in case of a total hard drive or operating system crash. This media will allow you to boot from a CD or other bootable media to restore your computer from an image if it becomes so unstable that it will not boot. This is also very handy to use if you have a physical hard drive failure and need to restore the image to a new drive. It is also used as an easy way to upgrade your hard drive.
This is a review of the process using an older version of the program. A newer review about how to create a bootable usb flash drive is available using True Image. See the review here.
This review of True Image was performed on an older version of the software. The looks of True Image have changed a bit but the concept of creating a bootable CD has not changed. See our full review of the new version.
The easiest way to perform this task is to go to the tools menu and click on the Create a Bootable Rescue Media option from the menu.
The Acronis Media Builder is a wizard that will help you create a bootable media with the Acronis components that you select.
I chose to install all of the components that I could to make this CD versatile to use for other Acronis tasks. I have the Acronis Disk Director installed so I have that option to put on the bootable CD. Of course, I chose to put the Acronis True Image Home full version on the CD. I also chose to put the Acronis Bootable Agent on the bootable CD. The bootable agent includes drivers for USB devices, PC Cards, and SCSI hard disks. Adding the Acronis Bootable Agent to the CD is strongly recommended. The Bootable Agent also allows you to access the computer remotely using the Acronis True Image Management Console.
There are other options available like adding remote logon settings and network settings for remote management.
The Bootable Media selection screen is where you choose what type of bootable media you want to create. This screen will give every available option that is available on your computer. You can even create an .ISO image and a USB drive.
This screenshot shows what the Acronis Media Builder is going to do.
When the bootable Rescue CD was finished, it told me so. It is always a good idea to try the bootable CD before the time comes that you may really need it to recover your computer. This is the first screen you will see when booting from the Acronis bootable CD. This screen will vary depending on the options you chose to include on the bootable CD. It shows you a menu of all the installed options. All of these programs can be run from the Acronis Rescue Media.
I wanted to make sure the Rescue CD could indeed rescue the computer from a crash so I chose the Acronis True Image Home option to test restore process of the image that was created in the previous review.
Select the image created.
Select what you want to restore from the image.
The next screen shows you a summary of the tasks the utility will perform. The following screen lets you proceed with the restoration of the image. Once the image is restores, the computer boots to the state it was in when the image was created. The Acronis True Image bootable CD is easy to create and use but most importantly, it can be a lifesaver if your computer crashes to the point that it will not boot.
The most important thing to remember is to test the bootable CD before it is needed. Acronis True Image Home is a recommended and trusted backup and imaging program but every system is different so there is the slight chance that it may not work. Create the bootable CD and test the restore process before a disaster arises.
Acronis True Image 2016 has been released and it is optimized for Windows 10 and the most recent Mac OS X versions. This version is up to 50% faster than the competition. This version combines the features of the previous Premium version which includes dynamic disk support and Universal Restore allowing you to restore data to a different PC even if it has different hardware. Wi-Fi support has also been added when backing up to the Acronis Cloud even to a bare-metal PC. The Media Builder has also been simplified as has the Entire PC Backup scenario. A True Image 2016 coupon code will be posted when it becomes available. See our full review of Acronis True Image.
Acronis True Image Cloud is Windows 10 compatible and is a great tool to use if you plan on upgrading to Windows 10. Acronis True Image Cloud combines local backup and cloud backup for an extra level of security. It includes support for mobile devices allowing you to backup and recover all your pictures, videos, contacts, events from Android devices, iPhones, iPads, and Windows tablets.Simply take an image and back everything up to the cloud or a local backup if you prefer. This version of True Image comes with unlimited cloud backup and universal restore so you can restore a PC image to totally different hardware. You can now restore your computer from up to 10 previous states in Mac, and up to 20 states in Windows. It has an Online Dashboard allowing you to manage multiple computers and mobile devices so you can restore your PC or Mac Anywhere, Anytime with True Image Cloud. See our Review of Acronis True Image Cloud.

War veteran hopes tooth can identify missing soldier
The Associated Press
BEDFORD, Ind. (AP) - A disabled Vietnam War veteran hopes a tooth, dog tag and a photograph of bones help identify one of his comrades.
Al Tolbert, 54, hand delivered the items to aides in Rep. John Hostettler's office Thursday in Bloomington with the hope it leads to the identification of an American pilot shot down over Vietnam in 1968.
"It was kind of a heavy burden to think I might be hanging on to the remains of a fellow veteran, a veteran that needs to come home," Tolbert said. He first learned about the mystery nearly a year ago, when the pilot's remains came up in conversation with friend Mike Alston.
Alston, a Vietnamese refugee who ran a store in the same Bedford shopping mall as Tolbert, approached him last August. He told Tolbert that relatives in the southern part of Vietnam who were sympathetic to the U.S. cause had found and hidden the remains of American pilot's body during the conflict.

• Titers of antibodies to mumps and measles virus and interferon activity were measured in sera and CSF obtained from 15 children with mumps meningitis. Antibody to mumps virus was found in 11 of 15 CSF samples. Evaluation of the CSF-serum ratio for antibodies to both viruses showed a substantially higher ratio for antibody to mumps virus. The ratio of IgG/IgM antibody activity to mumps virus was greater in CSF than in sera. These results could be attributed to antibody synthesis, particularly IgG, in the CNS. Titers of antibodies to mumps virus in CSF increased rapidly, reaching a peak four to ten days from onset of meningitis, and swiftly decreased thereafter. During the acute phase, interferon activity was found in almost all cases ranging from 16 to 128 IU/mL in sera, and 4 to 16 IU/mL in CSF. In cases of mumps meningitis that followed the usual clinical course, interferon disappeared within a week, whereas it persisted in the CSF in cases of persistent pleocytosis.

The TinyMCE editor stuff changed a bit in 3.3 which broke compat with magic fields.
I have had to make several patches, let me know if you want me to submit them somewhere.
The TinyMCE editor stuff changed a bit in 3.3 which broke compat with magic fields.
I have had to make several patches, let me know if you want me to submit them somewhere.
Not sure where they're officially supposed to be posted, but if you wouldn't mind posting them here I (and I'm sure lots of other people) would greatly appreciate it.
I opened a pull request here: https://github.com/hunk/Magic-Fields/pull/157
clone from firstname.lastname@example.com:humanmade/Magic-Fields.git to use a version compatibile with 3.3
Thats great Joe, thanks. However I'm also having a problem where TinyMCE isn't loading on multiline fields, I guess you're not having that problem?
Hmm, I don't remember having that issue no, so unless I made a fixed without thinking about it, I don't think so.
Ahh, try switching to HTML editor in the main content area, then reload the page. For some reason, if you don't have the TinyMCE Visual view set on teh main content, other TinyMCEs don't work.
I was having the same problem, looks like the new version of WP has removed some files in tinymce. Here's how I fixed:
- Download the latest tinymce at http://www.tinymce.com/download/download.php
- Copy the 'simple' folder: tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/themes/simple
- Upload the simple folder to /wp-includes/js/tinymce/themes
Looks a little different but it works.
I'm on WP 3.3.1 and had this problem when I used Magic Fields on a custom post type. The problem was that I did not have the 'editor' turned on for the post type, so the TinyMCE wasn't showing up on the multiline text fields.
The solution was to turn on the editor, when i did that the problem went away.
I did not want the editor to be seen or used by the client though, so to fix that, I put this in the 'help text' area of the first magic field:
<style type=text/css>#postdivrich {display:none;}</style>
I was aware of this problem, and the fix for it because I use Custom Field Template quite often and it has the same issue.

New York Times to Shed Some Newsroom Staff
Fewer than twenty voluntary buyouts are planned.
For the first time since the dark media days of 2009, the Paper of Record is offering voluntary buyouts to newsroom employees, in addition to business-side cuts. In a memo from new executive editor Jill Abramson, Times staffers were told that there will be "fewer than 20 buyouts" and that "no one ... will be laid off as a result of this program." Although the "uncertain economy" is cited, the move is being referred to euphemistically as "rebalancing." [Gawker]

Three Chinese maritime surveillance vessels entered Japanese territorial waters around the Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea on Friday morning, the Japan Coast Guard said.
The Haijian 23, 46 and 51 entered the waters between 9:50 a.m. and 10:10 a.m., according to the 11th Regional Coast Guard Headquarters in Naha, Okinawa Prefecture.
The vessels left Japanese waters by around 2:30 p.m. and continued to sail in the contiguous zone just outside the territorial boundary.
The Chinese fishery patrol vessels Yuzheng 201 and 202 were also spotted in the contiguous zone.
It was the 41st time that Chinese vessels have entered the territorial waters since the Japanese government purchased three of the five main islands in the group in September 2012.
The largest Chinese incursion in the waters occurred on April 23, when eight vessels were spotted entering.

GET ITThe tripod is very durable for regular DSLR even with some 700 extra lens weight . Works really well . The best thing about this is light weight .

Sep 18, 2012
Worth ItI am loving my first tripod I have ever purchased. The built quality is stunning and it has a fine finish so holding it in the hand is a pleasure. Figuring out how to extend the legs to 35 degrees is a bit difficult. Even in strong wind conditions it stayed put. So I would recommend this to anyone who wants to invest in a bit expensive but good tripod

what's with the name change?
life and how to live it?
and the description is a little too...descriptive....
Haw Haw.
The legacy of the Harbour has finally ended. Thank god.
nooo!! all of the good times took place in the harbor:
now they're going to take place in life and how to live it.
that sounds really awkward.
:( who changed it to "life and how to live it" anyway?
Physically it was changed by Met.
Award to whoever figures out where the name is from. :¬:
While a name change is perhaps in order, I think something less saccharine would be more fitting for a forum about pirates.
Maybe "The Scoundrels' Cove" or some such. I don't know.
What's in a name?..
I logged in tonight, opened up my "User CP" and thought to myself "What the hell?!? That's odd... I pretty sure I never subscribed to a "Life and how to live it" forum. Who did this,.. and what happened to the Harbor?"
Sure enough,.. both phenomina are connected. Curious timing.
(Nice choice of intro blurb, also. I approve. ;) )
Oh well. Change is inevitable... But I suspect everyone will always still refer to it as the Harbor anyway.
I think the new name is depressing.
I'm glad the Harbour's gone.
i'm glad you will go one day c. and that is for sure. that makes me even more *looks* glader..
"life and how to live it"
how does that shall go conform with not mi related mi discussion ??
i'm leaving..
.. not today .. and not tomorrow. just for the sake of c shutt and mr. thrik ..
i'll never leave.. harharhar
the habor wont die because of a STUPID name change.
does anyone notice that names have no further meaning than.. NOTHING??
vive la.. err.. my breakfast??
What difference does a name change make? The look is still the same right? The forum is still in the same spot, right? All the threads are still in the forum right? If they had named it Mount Pleasant, I could care less...
Is it not about the people who populate the community?
You are all too sensitive.
Pot to Kettle. Come in Kettle. "Bl-sensitive."
Met's a fan of REM?
Or the more obvious conclusion: Swami Vivekananda?
Like one in every five new threads started is "What should I do" or "I'm so sad" or whatever. So that said, I think the name change is pretty relevant. And with THAT said, I also think we should all take part in an internet musical.
as long as we are here .. who will be there?
but .. who in this community wanted the name change.. (I REALLY DONT CARE.. I JUST RAISE THE QUESTION) ..???
you have to admit groovy.. THIS one is not about the community. its about that funny little admin&co-kiddies who may have done this... i'll like to say i could be seen as against this community...
oh and C Shutt.. (in case you say some) YES!! you are definitly wrong.
Something a little less tacky and a bit more imaginative might have been better.
What you guys should do, is go to the feedback forums, and KINDLY start a thread with name suggestions. I'd imagine if you all agreed on something new and creative, they may listen to you.
Remember to be nice about it though.
otherwise "they" would have asked us or started a thread by themselfes..
plus .. "WE" (i mean us.. errr me all ;)) are always as nice as others are to "us" ..
NO! How DARE you suggest I be nice! How DARE you!??? If you don't EMMEDIATELY, or possibly IMMEDIATELY, I don't know WHICH, RENAME this place, "The DONKEY Sactuary", I will LEAVE this place FOREVER. And THEN'LL you'll be really SORRY, and WISH I'd come BACK, but I WON'T. Ha Ha HA!
Donkey Sanctuary! Donkey Sanctuary! Donkey Sanctuary!
And yeah, I was thinking about gorilla suits and maybe even giraffe suits, if I can find long enough barge poles.
I suggest the name be changed to GROG SQUAD.
I resent that last post. I request it be withdrawn on the grounds that I, in fact, resent all posts.
how about calling it "monkeying around"?:p
i never thought this will happen..
but i'll have to agree with you.. :p
on the other hand..
wait.. what was your point again??
oh yeah.. see me shot.
my name suggest for them oddmins..
Off-Topic Discussion
Discuss anything not related to Monkey Island with your fellow MI-Gamers.
would that have been so hard???
How's about we live with it? Does it really make a difference? Does it make it harder to post? Does it really change anything at all?
Btw Das Mole, if that pic is supposed to represent a Gravestone then it should be something like 2000 - 2003. :P
but then again.. why change it if it's so irrelevant? they tried closing, they tried moving, they tried everything and now its a name change.
again. as roy mentioned.. they and us. their game. sitting behind the mons peeing their pants because they think it is apropriate and all that.. :rolleyes: ..plus they are so happy that someone went and posted a thread like this. and the ssadiggers can now say "Yay. Thats what i was waiting for" and the community wonders what the hell is going on. until they "forgot" about it all.
again. we will take it. everyone will take it. as usual.
history repeats itself.
lets wait for the next week or so ..
what gonna be happen? someone disables the quote button??
i dont care what this forum is named..
but i do care WHY it is named like it is named. .. and who did it. but obviosly it is not my JOB. so i just dont care.
now die confused.
lol groovy. you are always so.. *cough*
*chokes on a bit-o-cheese*
Seriously RayJones, with lack of better words - shut your face. Wow, the name of the Harbour has been changed. Why does it even matter? It was changed because the people who run the forum decided so, not to spite you or piss you off. In fact, you shouldn't flatter yourself by thinking that they give a **** about how it affects you personally.
Jesus, I dread to think how you get on in the real world. "Hey boss, you reorganised my desk! You think you're so better than me!! Screw you man!!!".
I think it sounds a bit poncy, but it won't keep me awake at night. I'll let insomnia do that.
i organize my desk by my own and .. why should my "boss" reorganize my desk?? he would have better things to do..
is that the world YOU live in? DESKTOP REORGs? haha. desktops.. you spoot. i develop software n db's n stuff and dont need to ask anyone about anything.. .. err.. wait.. there is one thing. i have to ask for vacation. :rolleyes: (i am sooo veracious.. )
and i think i said i dont care about the namechange plus i dont think they thought about me by this decision. this never was my point. and i dont care much if anybody cares.
really thrik. who cares if anyone thinks he is better than any other? i dont care about you, shut nor anybody else in "your" posse. youre all just lousy spoots. pah.
seriously. LEARN TO RELAX. get a drink. take a cookie. and my opinion.
A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet.
Now kindly shut the **** up. :D
Blah blah blah? Blah huckle blah!!! Blah huckle!??? Huckle-Huckle Blah Blah!!!! Huckle! Huckle of Blahs!!!! Huckle you all! I HUCKLING HATE YOU!!! THE HUCKLE-HARBOR IS MY LIFE! I'LL KILL MYSELF IF YOU HUCKLING CHANGE THE HUCKLING NAME!!!! I HAVE NO HUCKLING FRIENDS IN REAL HUCKING LIFE, AND THE HUCKLING HARBOUR IS LIKE MY HUCKLING HOME, AND I WOULD NOT CALL MY HUCKLING HOUSE "LIFE AND HOW TO HUCKING LIFE IT", YOU HUCKLERS.
That was so productive. Do you think the admins will care?
You think ANYBODY cares? I know I don't.
I could explain mockery, who I am mocking and why... but that would be like, a whole bunch of words.
