After Vin Diesel revealed that Fast Five would be followed up by not just one but two sequels, word on the street was the movies would be shot back to back. However, according to Dwayne Johnson, that isn't the case.
MTV News caught up with the actor on the G.I. Joe: Retaliation press circuit, and he revealed that, while the filmmakers originally intended to shoot both movies at once to conserve time and manpower, weather concerns got in the way.
Johnson also said that parts of the sequels will be shot in London as well as Germany, and that they're looking to start in May. Director Justin Lin, screenwriter Chris Morgan and executive producer Diesel are hard at work on preparation for the films now.
1 movie was enough. Seriously? 6 and 7? Who cares!
Bring it, these movies are adrenaline entertainment. Screw off haters, you're the minority.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) Kansas City's Union Station could finish the year with a balanced budget thanks to the profitable ``Bodies Revealed'' exhibit.
The exhibit could bring a profit of about 1 million dollars, despite falling well short of attendance projections.
Sales are near 170,000 tickets with two weeks left. That's far below the 250,000 that Union Station officials projected.
Station officials will extend hours in the final weeks if demand increases. The exhibit closes on Labor Day.
The venue said high gasoline prices could be depressing the tourism market, and that there's oversaturation in the market with the traveling body shows stopping in St. Louis, Branson and Wichita.

At the moment I have 45 authors listed in my sidebar. It's a long list and it's just going to get worse. Does anyone know of a good solution for organizing these lists? I'm thinking it would good to be able to list the top authors and then have a "more authors" link.
I'm not keen on a drop-down since it's just going to be a very long drop-down.

I had my choice of a number of the larger hotels in the area, but I couldn't have chosen better than the Faculty House. From the minute I swung open the large, darkwood door and saw "Welcome [my name]" on a sign, I knew I had the right place.
It had the personal, unique, charming feel of a boarding house from a Dickens novel -- albeit spotless and very well appointed.
I was greeted by the laughing, personable character of Tom, who quickly made me feel at home.
Rooms were capacious, quiet, and the homey-yet-meticulously-cared-for rooms made me feel like I was in the home of a wealthy aunt.
I had my choice of two kitchen to cook in -- one a tidy cubby hole and the other, larger one which felt the kitchens of an old manor house. Both were very tidy and had everything I could need.
A short walk or drive in any direction brings you into contact with delightful, wooded neighborhoods and excellent restaurants.
Internet was fast. Umbrellas were on hand to borrow.
There was rarely a staff member at the front desk, however they were easily accessible by phone.
Everything was wonderful. I will certainly return if I am in the area.

The following statements may or may not be correct. In each case, either prove it (if it is correct) or give a counterexample (if it isn't correct). Always assume that the graph G = (V, E) is undirected and connected. Do not assume that edge weights are distinct unless this is specifically stated.
(a) If graph G has more than |V| − 1 edges, and there is a unique heaviest edge, then this edge cannot be part of a minimum spanning tree.
(b) If G has a cycle with a unique heaviest edge e, then e cannot be part of any MST.
(c) Let e be any edge of minimum weight in G. Then e must be part of some MST.
(d) If the lightest edge in a graph is unique, then it must be part of every MST.
(e) If e is part of some MST of G, then it must be a lightest edge across some cut of G.
(f) If G has a cycle with a unique lightest edge e, then e must be part of every MST.
(g) The shortest-path tree computed by Dijkstra's algorithm is necessarily an MST.
(h) The shortest path between two nodes is necessarily part of some MST.
(i) Prim's algorithm works correctly when there are negative edges.
(j) (For any r > 0, define an r-path to be a path whose edges all have weight < r.) If G contains an r-path from node s to t, then every MST of G must also contain an r-path from node s to node t.

Ten Count for Mayen Sr.
Guillermo Mayen Sr., of Promociones Mayen in Tijuana, Mexico, passed away Thursday. He was a pioneer in boxing promoting shows in Mexico, especially in Tijuana. His son, Guillermo "Memo" Mayen Jr., followed in his footsteps after his father retired in the 1983. Together the father and son team helped to begin the careers of many fighters' with the most notables being: Julio Cesar Chavez, Erik Morales, Ramon "Yory Boy" Campas and Antonio Margarito. With the guidance of his father, Memo took Promociones Mayen to a new level of promoting frequently selling out events every Monday of every week from the early 1980's to mid-1990's with cards at the Auditorio Municipal de Tijuana and the Plaza de Toros – El Toreo de Tijuana. A private service was held Friday afternoon and a public celebration of his life is scheduled for the coming days. He is survived by all the boxing fans in Tijuana, the region and of his era. FightNews sends our condolences to his family and loved ones.

In a huge upset, unheralded middleweight Billy Lyell (19-7, 3 KOs) surprisingly won a split decision over previously unbeaten WBO #2/WBC #4/IBF #6 middleweight John Duddy (26-1, 17 KOs) on Friday night at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. Lyell simply outworked the sluggish Duddy to prevail 98-92, 97-93 on two cards. Duddy was ahead on the third card 96-94.
Jr middleweight Gabriel "King" Rosado (11-3, 6 KOs) scored the biggest win of his career with a ten round split decision over former world champion Kassim Ouma (26-6-1, 16 KOs). Scores were 97-93, 96-94 Rosado, 96-94 Ouma. Another disappointing
performance for Ouma, who now lost four out of his last five.
In a battle of unbeaten super lightweight, Henry Lundy (13-0-1, 7 KOs) stopped Jason Cintron (10-1, 3 KOs) with a brutal comination at 1:36 of round five. It was an uppercut that finished Cintron.
Unbeaten middleweight Przemyslaw Majewski (10-0, 7 KOs) scored a seventh round TKO over James Lubash (13-2, 6 KOs). Time was 1:17.
Cruiserweight Patrick Farrell (2-0, 2 KOs) needed just 66 seconds to demolish Doug Bowling (0-2). Bowling was down twice.

Penalosa seeks 3rd world title!
By Lee Bates
Having won world titles at 115 pounds and 118 pounds WBO batamweight champion Gerry Penalosa (54-6-2,36 KOs) will seek his third world title in as many divisions. To do so he will have to defeat heavily favored WBO junior featherweight champion Juan Manuel 'Juanma' Lopez (24-0, 22 KOs) this Saturday in Lopez' homeland of Puerto Rico. A very confident Penalosa spoke with fightnews on adapting to both a time difference and climate of Puerto Rico, dealing with Lopez' power, and his feeling very strong at 122 pounds. (more…)

Kariuki victorious!
By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing
Sydney 2000 Olympian super middleweight Kariz Kariuki (18-7-2, 17 KOs) formerly of Kenya stopped Sonni Michael Angelo (15-8-2, 5 KOs) in nine rounds at the National Convention Center, Canberra, ACT, Australia with the WBO Asia Pacific and African title up for grabs on Friday. Michael Angelo was cut over the right eye in round two which was caused by a head clash. The Doctor inspected the cut but ruled it okay to continue. Kariuki connected with power combinations to Michael Angelo head and body in round nine that had him on unsteady legs and at 2.40 of the round referee Les Fear crowned Kariuki the winner. (more…)

The four world-class boxers who will fight tomorrow/Saturday, April 25, on SHOWTIME (9 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the west coast) made weight Friday at Mashantucket, Conn. In what will be a close, competitive, hotly contested match, Froch defends his WBC super middleweight title against former undisputed middleweight champion Taylor in the main event on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING. The undefeated Froch (24-0, 19 KOs), of Nottingham, England, weighed 167 pounds, while Taylor (28-2-1, 17 KOs), of Little Rock, Ark. weighed 166 pounds. Allan Green, of Tulsa, Okla., who is 27-1 with 19 KOs, will be opposed by Las Vegas-based Puerto Rican Carlos De Leon (21-2-2, 14 KOs) in an important 10-round super middleweight bout in the co-feature. Both Green and De Leon weighed the division-limit 168 pounds. Froch's British fans showed up in force to support their countryman at the weigh-in Friday at MGM Grand at Foxwoods.z

Kendall Holt issues statement!
By Lee Bates
Former world champion Kendall Holt has issued a statement regarding his current legal situation:
"Today I entered a conditional plea to conspiracy to commit Financial Facilitation of Criminal Activity. I write that the plea is conditional because, pursuant to agreement with the Prosecutor's Office, I am also applying to the Pretrial Intervention Program. It is my understanding that the plea will be held and if I successfully complete the Pretrial Intervention Program the plea will not be entered on to my record. (more…)
Martirosyan, Kotlobay victorious!
By Alexey Sukachev
Gennady Martirosyan (17-1, 6 KOs) came back strong to his hometown of Saint Petersburg and solidified his credentials with the convincing ten-round unanimous decision over tough but limited Croatian Vedran Akrap (12-7, 6 KOs) moments ago at Casino Conti. Scores were 100-90 and 99-91 (twice) for the local hero who retained his PABA middleweight title and WBO #13 ranking with this victory.
Rising cruiserweight prospect Alexander Kotlobay (14-1-1, 9 KOs) added a sound name to his resume with a sixth-round TKO over rugged Czech Lubos Suda (20-3-1, 14 KOs). Kotlobay dominated the first five rounds but was enforced into some action in the sixth stanza. However, after his brightest round in the fight, the Czech import quit in his corner citing a hand injury. Suda has a win over former world champion Firat Arslan in his record.
Also, young heavyweight gun Maxim Maslov (8-0, 6 KOs) scored the sixth-round TKO over Ukrainian giant (6'9'') Alexander Kabanov (6-3, 4 KOs) with several knockdowns down the road. This show was promoted by the local company Jab Promotions.
Froch-Taylor goes viral!
Earlier this week, SHOWTIME analyst Al Bernstein sat down with Froch and Taylor to discuss Saturday's impending showdown. Tune in to tonight's ShoBox telecast (live at 11p ET/PT from St. Louis) for excerpts from the revealing interviews. ShoBox announcers Nick Charles and Steve Farhood will preview Saturday's significant Super Middleweight title fight. The interview segments will air between bouts on tonight's ShoBox.

Mayweather Jr. Update!
Rumor has it that a press conference will be called on the day of Pacquiao-Hatton to announce the highly expected return form retirement of Floyd Mayweather Jr. WBA/WBO lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez has been mentioned as a possible opponent for Floyd. It has also been confirmed that Mayweather Jr. and promoter Don King could join forces in Floyd's return.
Kirkland, Holt, Harrison, Gatti
Unbeaten jr middleweight James Kirkland is now being held in custody by federal authorities after being arrested with a loaded handgun in his vehicle last week at an Austin gun show. He has been charged with possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon and has a court appearance today. Apparently there is also another pending case involving Kirkland and firearms, so his May 2 fight on the Pacquiao-Hatton undercard looks in serious jeopardy.
Former WBO jr welterweight champion Kendall Holt has pleaded guilty in New Jersey to knowingly collecting money from drug transactions and delivering it to his manager Henry Cortes, who has also pleaded guilty to drug charges. Holt, who lost his title to WBC champ Tim Bradley on April 4th, may have the charge dismissed if he completes a pretrial intervention program.
After flying to Spain for what he thought was a routine court hearing, troubled former WBO featherweight champion Scott Harrison was immediately arrested and sentenced to 30 months in prison for assaulting a police officer and attempting to steal a car.
Former world champion Arturo Gatti was arrested last week after missing a court date involving an alleged assault of his ex-wife. He has been released on bail, but must return in June.

Pongsaklek wins WBC crown!
By Gabriel F.Cordero
Thailand's Pongsaklek Wonkonjam won by unanimous decision over Mexican Julio Cesar Miranda to claim the vacant WBC interim flyweight world crown in Bangkok, Thailand on Friday. A cut suffered by Miranda from a headbutt in the second round was a factor in the encounter as Miranda had problems all through the fight. Reynante Danesco scored it 117-111, Brian McMahon 119-110 and James Jen Kin 118-109, unanimously in favor of Ponsaklek.
Boxing back in Tunica!
Prize Fight Promotions will be back to the Fitz Casino & Hotel in Tunica, Mississippi on Saturday with a five bout fight card. Historically, this boxing series "Fights at the Fitz" has been immensely popular with local fans, and every event is a sell out. In the main event, cruiserweight Adam "Swamp Donkey" Richards (21-2, 14 KOs) goes up against Gustavo Enriquez (15-8, 12 KOs) in an eight-rounder. This fight will be the first fight back for "Swamp Donkey" since his brutal slugfest between Chazz Witherspoon this past November on the Jermain Taylor-Jeff Lacy undercard. (more…)
Media picks Taylor!

Carl Froch is a supremely confident, unbeaten fighter who opted to come to America to defend his WBC 168-pound title against former undisputed middleweight champion Jermain Taylor this Saturday on SHOWTIME (9 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the west coast) for one sole reason – to make a name for himself in the United States. So, did Froch, of Nottingham, England, make the correct decision and will he defeat Taylor, of Little Rock, Ark., in the main event on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING from Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn.? You'll have to tune in to find out. Those who participated in a SHOWTIME Media Prediction Poll gave a clear edge to Taylor, who was tabbed to triumph on 29 of the 44 predictions. Few, if any, predicted a blowout, however, and almost all expect to see a close, hard-fought match. The major sports books and gambling websites agree with the media as Taylor is a slight favorite.

Quezada thumps late sub!

Born and raised in Sweden, Hultin began boxing at 13. While Vic Darchinyan was training in Vegas, Hultin was able to go a few rounds with the champ. The sparring was filmed for a promotional trailer.

A man was watching the end of an international cricket match
in his lounge when a police pursuit came to a dramatic end
outside his doorstep.
The driver of the car has since been charged with eight
offences, including the alleged assault of a police dog and
its handler.
The Bay of Plenty man and his family, who did not want to be
identified, were relaxing at home down the end of a quiet
Apata cul-de-sac about 9pm on Wednesday when a car "came
screaming up the driveway", followed by two police cars.
The man said when he went to see who had arrived, the driver
tried to turn around in the driveway, crashed into their
fence and edge of the home's front deck.
From the same deck yesterday, the man described how the car
"went flying" around the corner of the house in attempt to
get away.
"He obviously didn't know where he was going," the man said.
"He's reversed backwards and by that time the two police cars
had stopped in that part of the driveway.
"Police said 'stay in your car' and the door flew open, he
ran straight across the deck and over that [railing] and down
the hill."
The man said that although the initial drama only lasted
about 10 seconds, he missed the end of the Black Caps' loss
to England in the second ODI.
Tauranga's police dog unit was called and tracked the driver
a kilometre away in a Pahoia Rd avocado orchard.
Senior Sergeant Carl Purcell said the car had been reported
stolen and had been picked up by police in Mount Maunganui
about an hour earlier.
However, the driver failed to stop for police and lead them
on a pursuit from Mount Maunganui to Greerton before the
chase was called off.
The same car was later picked up by police on State Highway 2
at Te Puna, where it was followed to Apata.
In the driver's attempt to flee police on foot, he allegedly
assaulted the police dog that caught him and its handler
before backup arrived to arrest him.
"He got bitten and even when he was being held by the dog he
was still trying to throw punches and kicks," Mr Purcell
An 18-year-old male was charged with two counts of wilful
damage, reckless driving, unlawfully taking a motor vehicle,
failing to stop for police, assaults of police, resisting
arrest and possession of a utensil used for methamphetamine.

Slide Fire near Sedona reaches 100 percent containment
PHOENIX — A wildfire burning near Sedona, Ariz., was fully contained Wednesday, weeks after the blaze began.
The human-caused fire burned a total of 21,227 acres in the scenic Oak Creek Canyon area.
At one point during the blaze, 3,200 residents in Kachina Village and Forest Highlands were waiting for an evacuation notice. That was later lifted. Some smaller areas and campgrounds were evacuated.
A Coconino National Forest spokesman said around 300 structures north of Slide Rock State Park were threatened by the fire at one point, including homes and businesses.
No structures were lost.
Firefighting efforts cost $10.1 million.

I went into this expecting mediocer stuff. but i got an amazing story about robots and how humans react to the situation the future has brought them. These robots are called Boomers and they look, feel, and do everything like a human can do. Suprisingly being from the earlt 2000's it has a lot of sex in it. A lot of the Boomers they had hanging around were sex "slaves" or whatever.
Anyway the story is rather cliche being humans don't overly like the Boomers and murders start occuring. While people on both sides of the love/hate of Boomers fight over the rights of them. The characters in this anime were very amazingly believable in their rolls.
For something that has been done before it was still a wonderful watch and i highly recommend it to anyone that loves shows about furtristic earth with robots and whatnot. It kept giving me a bladerunner feel to it if that sells people on picking this up. :)

A New York based-food, snack and beverage company has recently seen a decline in shares held by one of its long-term stakeholders.
The Yacktman Focused Fund (Trades, Portfolio) sold 1.3 million PepsiCo (NYSE:PEP) 1,300,000 shares for an average price of $96 per share during the second quarter. The transaction had a -3.06% impact on the fund's portfolio.Continue Reading »
Guru Donald Yacktman (Trades, Portfolio) is the founder of the Yacktman Asset Management and was also named Portfolio Manager of the Year by Morningstar in 1991. During the first quarter, Yacktman added to his stake in Hengan International Group to the Yacktman Focused Fund (Trades, Portfolio).
Donald Yacktman (Trades, Portfolio)'s Yacktman Focused Fund (Trades, Portfolio) has released its second-quarter commentary letter to investors. In the letter the fund discussed its second-quarter returns which came in at -2.6% compared to the S&P 500 Index return of 0.3%. The fund discussed why its return for the second quarter was negative and the holdings that caused the most pain for the fund.

During the second quarter, some of the largest detractors included Fox (FOX), P&G (PG), and Samsung (XKRX:005935), which are among our high conviction long-term investments. We think these investments all offer significant long-term value despite their recent unpopularity.
Samsung (XKRX:005935)'s shares declined in the second quarter due to weaker-than-expected mobile phone sales. The shares are inexpensive and offer good downside protection due to the fortress balance sheet. Net of the excess cash and investments the stock sells for 3-4 times earnings, which we think is remarkably cheap, especially given the strong market position of its semiconductor business.
During the second quarter, some of the largest detractors included Fox (FOX), P&G (PG), and Samsung (XKRX:005935), which are among our high conviction long-term investments. We think these investments all offer significant long-term value despite their recent unpopularity.
P&G (PG) was out of favor during the quarter as the company continued to sell its non-core businesses. Now that the divestitures are nearly complete, we think P&G will grow faster and manage costs more effectively than they have in recent years.
During the second quarter, top contributors included Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Stryker (NYSE:SYK) and Anthem (NYSE:ANTM).
Two health care companies, Stryker (NYSE:SYK) and Anthem (NYSE:ANTM) (previously known as WellPoint), appreciated during the quarter. Both stocks were strong in large part because their sector has been in favor. Health care stocks, which were inexpensive in 2011 are now more fully priced and we are being more selective in our positions and weightings in the sector today.Continue Reading »
During the second quarter, top contributors included Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Stryker (NYSE:SYK) and Anthem (NYSE:ANTM).
Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) shares rebounded in the second quarter after declining in the first. The price movement demonstrates the short-term orientation that has overtaken many stocks recently, as we did not think either quarter produced much to be either panicked or excited about. We continue to like the long-term prospects for significant cash flow generation the company has, and believe the new management team is executing well.Continue Reading »
The AMG Yacktman Focused Fund (Trades, Portfolio) (Service Class) returned -2.6% for the second quarter of 2015, compared with 0.3% for the benchmark, the S&P 500 Index. For the 12 months ending June 30, 2015, the Fund returned -0.1%, while the benchmark returned 7.4%.
This year, the Russell 1000® Value, which is an index representative of Large Cap Value, has lagged the Russell 1000® Growth Index by nearly 5% in the first half of the year. More than 30% of the Russell 1000 Value stocks are now greater than 20% below their 52-week high. We think the underperformance is mostly attributable to the short-term race for growth over value that often happens towards the end of an aging and expensive bull market.Continue Reading »
The Yacktman Focused Fund (Trades, Portfolio) pursues growth companies at low prices when it looks for investment targets. It's a strategy that has worked pretty well, producing returns of 10.67% in 2014, 27.01% in 2013 and 10.57% in 2012. But the Fund was focused on selling stock in the second quarter.
More than three-fourths of the Yacktman Focused Fund (Trades, Portfolio)'s second-quarter transactions involved reductions of existing stakes, with the most significant being the sale of 6,600,000 shares of Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO), the Atlanta-based beverage company, for an average price of $40.67 per share. The sale had a -3.17% impact on the Fund's portfolio.Continue Reading »
Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) reported its second-quarter earnings results on July 14. Earnings beat analysts' estimates for the quarter. Reported revenue was $17.79 billion, topping analysts' average revenue estimate of $17.75 billion. Adjusted net earnings were $4.8 billion resulting in earnings per share of $1.71. Analysts' estimates had called for earnings per share of $1.67.
The firm operates within three main business segments: Consumer, Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices. While sales topped analysts' estimates all three business segments reported lower revenue growth compared to the second quarter of 2014. For the quarter sales were down across the board due primarily to effects from the strengthened dollar.

The widely followed Yacktman Asset Management bought only one new stock, according to its fourth quarter portfolio released today. Managers started a new holding of Unilever NV (NYSE:UN), while also increasing positions in Oracle Corp (NYSE:ORCL), Twenty-First Century Fox (NASDAQ:FOX) and Avon Products (NYSE:AVP).
Yacktman Fund (Trades, Portfolio)s are widely followed for management's choice of discounted growth companies and risk-averse positioning.

In this article, let´s consider Hewlett-Packard Company (NYSE:HPQ), a $69.11 billion market cap, which has a trailing P/E ratio that indicates that the stock is relatively undervalued (PE 13.9x vs Industry Median 33.1x).
So in this article, let's take a look at a model that is applicable to stable, mature, dividend-paying firms and try to find the intrinsic value of the stock. Although the model has a number of characteristics that make it useful and appropriate for many applications, it is by no means the be-all and end-all for valuation. The purpose is to force investors to evaluate different assumptions about growth and future prospects.Continue Reading »
At the beginning of April, the trade alarm for Sigma-Aldrich (NASDAQ:SIAL) set off due to a larger seller coming together with the buyers to raise a posted offer. The phenomena pushed up stock face value, however unable to continue the previous trend. Hence, stock value has been on a decline since the month of March. Reasoning about the sources for the stagnation, will give potential investors important insight for a current or future investment. Given the nature of the firm, close attention should be paid to research and development. But, most importantly, to the business model as a whole and market environment. Looking at recent full year reports can also offer important information about specific performance indicators. In the middle, there is an important number of new positions consolidated by gurus through 2013, who would like to see new investors enter the business.

Vought F-8 Crusader BuAer No. 146898
The Vought F-8 Crusader (originally the F8U) was a single-engine, supersonic, carrier-based air superiority jet aircraft built by Vought Aircraft for the United States Navy and the U.S. Marine Corps, replacing the Vought F7U Cutlass. The F-8 was the last American fighter with guns as the primary weapon. The RF-8 Crusader was an outstanding photo-reconnaissance aircraft and operated longer than any of the fighter versions. F-8s played a crucial role in the Cuban Missile Crisis, providing essential low-level photographs impossible to acquire by other means. U.S. Naval Reserve units continued to operate the RF-8 until 1987.
A unique feature of the F-8 was the variable-incidence wing which pivoted by 7° upward out of the fuselage on takeoff and landing. This created greater lift due to a greater angle of attack without compromising forward visibility because the fuselage stayed level.
The first flight was on March 25, 1955. On that flight, the aircraft flew faster than the speed of sound. The second prototype followed a few months later and made a catapult launch on April 4, 1956. The aircraft set a U.S. speed record later in the year. In 1957, Strike Fighter Squadron THIRTY-TWO, VF-32, "Fighting Swordsmen" at Cecil Field Naval Air Station (NAS) was the first squadron to receive the planes. They deployed late in the year on the USS Saratoga for the Mediterranean. The aircraft were all redesignated F-8s in 1962. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, pairs of F-8s made low-level flights twice daily from Key West, over Cuba, and then on to Jacksonville. The films were then taken to Washington, D.C., for processing and interpretation. The F-8 continued to excel during the Vietnam War being used for most every mission type. 1,219 aircraft were built with the last delivered on September 3, 1964. The last fighter unit retired them in 1976. The reconnaissance version stayed active another 11 years with the last being retired to the National Air and Space Museum in 1987.

The Fort Worth Aviation Museum's Vought F8U-1P – later redesignated a RF8-G -- Crusader, Navy Bureau of Aeronautics No. 146898, was built in 1960 in Grand Prairie, Texas. The aircraft was both delivered to and accepted by the Navy on February 26, 1960.
Its first assignment began on March 4, 1960, with Light Photographic Squadron SIXTY-THREE, VCP-63, "Cameras Unlimited" NAS Miramar, California. This squadron used the tailcode "PP" and the aircraft was number "901." This and other aircraft in the squadron served on smaller detachments when an entire squadron of photo reconnaissance aircraft was not needed. These detachments all performed the same job just in varying locations. On October 26, 1960, this aircraft was assigned to Detachment L from this squadron and boarded the USS Lexington for a Western Pacific Cruise (October 1960-June 1961). They returned to NAS Miramar on June 8, 1961. The squadron designation was changed to Photographic Reconnaissance Squadron SIXTY-THREE, VFP-63, "Eyes of the Fleet" on July 19, 1961. The squadron tailcode remained "PP."
On November 1, 1961, the aircraft joined Detachment F of VFP-63 and was assigned to the USS Lexington for a Western Pacific Cruise (November 1961-May 1962). They returned to NAS Miramar on May 16, 1962. On November 30, 1962, the aircraft was redesignated as an RF-8A. On May 9, 1963, the aircraft was assigned to Detachment L at NAS Miramar. On August 31, 1963, this detachment deployed joined the USS Hancock for part of its Western Pacific Cruise (June 1963-January 1964).
The aircraft returned to NAS Miramar on December 19, 1963. On July 8, 1964, the aircraft joined Detachment M of VFP-63 at Miramar. Detachment M deployed on the USS Ranger for a Western Pacific / Vietnam Cruise (August 1964-May 1965). On May 11, 1965, the aircraft was assigned to the Bureau of Naval Weapons Representative at the Dallas NAS. This was very likely the office at Vought Aircraft, which is also located on that airfield.
On June 25, 1968, this aircraft returned to VFP-63 at NAS Miramar. On June 27, 1969, the aircraft joined the Marine Corps – Marine Reconnaissance Squadron FOUR, VMJ-4, at Marine Air Reserve Training Detachment (MARTD), NAS Olathe, Kansas. On February 21, 1970, the aircraft returned to NAS Dallas when VMJ-4 relocated to the field and joined Marine Aircraft Group 41 (MAG-41). This was also a Marine Air Reserve unit. Tailcodes for the squadron were 7K (1967-1969), 5K (1969-1970), 5D (1970-1972), and MJ (1972-1973).
On January 5, 1975, the aircraft joined Photographic Reconnaissance Squadron THREE-HUNDRED SIX, VFP-306, "The Peeping Toms," at NAF Washington DC, located at Andrews AFB. On December 9, 1975, the aircraft returned to VFP-63 at NAS Miramar. On June 15, 1976, the aircraft returned to VFP-306 at NAF Washington DC. On November 9, 1984, the aircraft was administratively removed from service after 24 years. At that time, it was the highest time RF-8 in the inventory.
It was made part of the collection of aircraft at the USS Alabama Memorial in Mobile, Alabama. In 2005 it was heavily damaged by Hurricane Katrina and removed to National Naval Aviation Museum to be prepared for the bombing range at Eglin AFB. VMAP saved it from destruction, but the aircraft still needs restoration.
Locally, the aircraft was built and served here. Also, local noted aviator, Neil Anderson flew this aircraft while Commanding Officer of the Marine Air Reserve Training Detachment (MARTD) at NAS Dallas. This aircraft is on loan from the National Naval Aviation Museum, in Pensacola, Florida. It arrived at the museum on December 29, 2008.

Windows XP SP3 32-bit, AMD 3800+ 2x core 64bit CPU at 2GHz, PCIe graphics slot, SB Live!, 4GB RAM (with the usual 3GB cap thing going on; too busy/lazy to change it)
Last night my XFX Radeon HD 4770 finally kicked the bucket. He put in something like 6 years of almost 100% system uptime, so he earned his retirement. Unfortunately, my onboard video card doesn't have a DVI port and I don't have a VGA cable. I went to Canada Computers to buy a cable, and found an inexpensive Sapphire Radeon HD 6450, so I just bought that instead, because RMAing the 4770 would cost money for shipping, and then I'd have to wait, etc., so this is just faster and cleaner. So far, so good.
When I plugged in the new card and booted up, my computer came up fine, and it auto-detected the 6450, and I installed the drivers. However, I never got a chance to uninstall the drivers from my 4770. I immediately had problems with the 6450, in the form of draw issues, screen refreshes and system crashes, to the point that I was thinking about manually removing all the driver files in order to start from scratch (because when I uninstalled via Device Manager, it just reinstalled right away again).
After I made my list of driver files, I decided to try turning off all hardware acceleration, and it managed to run for a couple minutes, but then it froze anyway. I removed the card and just for fun put the 4770 back in, and it's running fine now for some reason. However, I noticed that the list of driver files is identical to what I saw for the 6450.
That suggests to me that the new card was trying to use the old drivers, which would obviously be a problem. My question is, is this theory plausible? Is this what happens when you are unable to uninstall your previous card properly before installing a new card?
And in furtherance of my situation, since it's entirely likely this will happen again, what is the correct way to uninstall my 4770 the next time this happens?

it is frustrating - it was such a good, nice and nifty plugin until the whole UPGRADE frenzy started :(((
plugin starts, creates a LOG file and a ZIP or TAR file in CGI-BIN folder, but doesn't move/copy it to the orignal destination folder
LOG file is created, but obviously the execution time is exceeded? We don't have an error message in the log file. Log file states that everthing is fine ...
We've changed the php.ini file several times to increase the EXEC time for scripts with no success. We've checked in SETTININGS the '3/5/30/300' settings - no success.
Anyway. We've taken the plugin offline and look for alternate solutions. We hope that some of the code-buffs can figure this out - good luck

I'm using your plugin here:
How can I link each image to an external website?
Hi there.
Sorry, but there is no functionality to do this. It doesn't quite fit with the purpose of the Image Wall. The Image Wall is meant as a navigation tool to old posts using the images of those pics.
The Image Wall is not meant to be a normal image gallery, where it would make perfect sense to dictate the link target of the images.
Maybe if I can modify it to get the link from the description? Isn't it possible?
Sure, if you edit the plugin code you can do it. But after that, don't update the image wall plugin when I release future updates as it will remove your changes.
Ok I will try, if I have doubts I will ask you! :)

I recently run into a problem - I deleted a user and since there was number zero in the Posts column on
/wp-admin/users.php I thought that he has no posts or pages. So I didn't selected "Attribute all posts and links to some other user" option.
Later I discovered that there are several pages missing on my site. So what's the deal with the pages? Posts column on /wp-admin/users.php is simply showing just the number of the posts, what about pages? This can lead to some serious confision and troubles.
Please help, thanks!

Hee hee, they're funny
Aw! They look like they were just caught making the kissy faces at each other!
I don't care what people say, Trubbish is an adorable Pokemon! And this really captures that! I just get the feeling of two lovebirds meeting in an alley to spend some alone time together, and we just happened in on their private time!
Yea they're alright, could be worse with Muk...
awesome! I like the BG a lot too! Trubbish kinda remind me of rabbits with their knot-ear thingys~

Hey, remember that stupid, viral challenge a few summers ago that had celebrities and your weird aunt on Facebook alike dumping a bucket of ice water over their heads? A lot of people at the time criticized it for being the same kind of "slacktivism" as a filter on your profile picture or a status update. Well, for once, we have good news. THIS ACTUALLY DID SOMETHING. According to the ALS Association, this trend raised $115 million, $77 million went to research which so far has found at least three new gene variants that can be linked to ALS. Here's a nifty infographic showing what happened after people started dousing themselves in ice water.

It's been eight years since Heath Ledger died from a lethal drug overdose. Heath Ledger's father recently sat down for an interview to discuss his son's truly tragic death.
"The last conversation Kate had with him was this discussion about his medications and she warned him, ''You can't mix drugs that you don't know anything about'," Ledger's father Kim told news.com.au.
"He said 'Katie, Katie, I'll be fine'. Well, that's a cavalier boy's answer. It just put his whole system to sleep I guess," Mr. Ledger said.
Heath's father went on to say that his son wasn't addicted to opioids--he just made the mistake of mixing the wrong drugs. And that Heath's chaotic work schedule had begun to take its toll on the actor.
"There is pressure on everybody, especially young people, to perform and to keep going. He was a young guy that travelled all the time for work. Even as a two-year-old, he hardly ever slept. He was trying to work and travel and do everything in a short space of time."
RIP Heath Ledger you were a fiercely talented young man, taken from us all too soon.

Awesome !

Comments about Prismacolor Premier Double-Ended Brush Tip Marker Sets:
The price was perfect compared to a lot of other websites. These are my first alchohol based markers and I couldn't be happier. They are super easy to use, the colors are vibrant and blend super easily. I bought warm greys, french greys and a 24 colors pack and I am beyond happy.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Got this set for my neighbor's kid. He loves to produce w/watercolors, so I bought him some reasonably high-quality paper, a superior set of double-ended art markers and a set of watercolor pencils. He's very happy!
Great artist markers!

So hard to open!!
By Mari
from Palmdale, CA
This markers have a nice brush tip and the colors are vibrant. I did like most of the colors. The set I got of 72 colors had three black markers. I didn't like this, since I could of have two extra colors. I don't need three black markers. Also they are so hard to open. I decided to open them all to do a list of the colors. My hands were sore until the next day. These will literary peel your skin off trying to opening them. I would recommend wrapping a paper towel around the cap as you twist. Even my husband had a hard time opening some. I wouldn't recommend to people with arthritis or weak hands. A couple were easy to open. Bottom line the design of the caps are horrible but they do color nice. But again you can obtain same results with high quality markers. Even my sharpies do the same job and are so easy to open.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

These markers are good. But the colors are too muted for light skin tones also the browns appear more gray. Some of the colors did not look like the advertised product These markers are almost impossible to open, I had to pry half of them open with a knife then shave down the rim that holds the cap until they could open easily. For a big company like prismacolor, they need to do quality checks before sending these out.
Merchant response: We're sorry to hear that you're not pleased with the colors included in the Portrait Set. A member of our Customer Care Team will be in touch to further assist you.
I love them

Prismacolor markers are like old friends to me. Although this set was for my daughter, the familiarity allows me to teach her techniques and how to use them to the fullest. Blick made this transaction smooth, simple, and painless, the way it should be. Plus I got the best deal on Prismacolor anywhere.

Rev. Bob Levy Stars in Vivid's
Stood Up
Rev. Bob Levy Stars in Vivid's
Stood Up
Stand-up comic featured in hardcore comedy
Posted May 22nd, 2007 00:00 AM by
David Sullivan
Stand-up comic and 'Howard Stern Show' personality Rev. Bob Levy stars as himself in Vivid Entertainment's
Stood Up
, a hardcore comedy due for release in July.
"It's a fake story about my life in stand-up comedy and how I never made it because all the ideas I came up with, people took 'em from me." Levy told AVN. "It's about me getting robbed; we goof on Jeff Foxworthy, Jerry Seinfeld, and Andrew "Dice" Clay. It's basically me telling this story, and then we do the scenes where I get my material taken from me. "
Directed by B. Skow from a script by Genesis editor Dan Davis,
Stood Up
co-stars Savanna Samson as Levy's agent and Tommy Gunn playing Levy as a young man. Skow cast Lee Stone and James Deen in the respective roles of Clay and Seinfeld. The supporting cast includes Lanny Barby, Kimberly Franklin, Evan Stone and Kimberly Kane.
"While there have been other "porn comedies" released, this is the first to my knowledge that actually stars a real comedian," said Davis, who developed the movie with Levy and Skow. "This movie can stand on its own as either a comedy, because it is funny as hell, and it can also stand alone as a porn movie because the cast and sex scenes are incredible in it."
Levy has gained a fanbase through his Howard Stern appearances, his "Miserable Men" show on Sirius, and exposure on other radio shows such as the Philly-based Kidd Chris. The idea of making a porn movie came out of his gig as host of last year's F.A.M.E. awards ceremony.
"For last year's inaugural show, we were looking for a comedian who wasn't just some guy up there telling prepared jokes," Davis recounted. "Since it's an interactive awards show with the fans, we thought it would be good to have someone who interacts well with their audience and can pretty much improvise on the spot. I knew Bob from New Jersey, and obviously had seen his act in clubs in New York and Jersey, as well as hearing him on Howard Stern and thought he would be perfect. He did a great job."
After the F.A.M.E. Awards, Davis and Levy began talking to producers about making a movie and caught the interest of Vivid. Director Skow (who has done several recent comedies for the company including Burnt Fury and The American Dream) came up with the concept for Stood Up.
"Once we agreed to do this movie with Vivid, I had several conference calls with Bob and B. Skow developing the story concept," Davis continued. "When B. Skow came up with the general concept that became Stood Up's storyline, the script pretty much came natural for Bob and I. We were able to take things from both the real world of an up-and-coming comedian's career and merge it into an adult feature. The toughest part honestly was trying to figure out how to get the sex scenes interspersed into what became a very funny story."
Skow shot the movie in two 20-hour days. "It was a lot of fun," he said. "Bob Levy was great – he memorized his script, he was really comfortable, real relaxed. He's never done anything like that before, not even a regular movie. We go back in time in a scene from the 80s, so I had Bob wearing a pink T-shirt, white blazer and a mullet like Don Johnson on 'Miami Vice' - we played a lot on the different time periods."
"We really had a fun time on the set," Levy said. "Even the porn stars were like, this is not like a regular porno movie. There are some funny scenes in it, and then you get the porn, which is really good, too. I hung out during the first sex scene with Tommy Gunn and Savanna—I got tired watching it! I didn't think anybody could go for an hour; if that was me, it would have been five minutes."

Refund of Tuition and Fees
Students who officially withdraw from college or drop classes before the first calendar week of a regular term will be refunded all tuition and fees, including first-time enrollment, college services, program, and course fees. Students who withdraw from college or drop classes during the first week of a regular term will be refunded all tuition and fees except the first-time enrollment fee. Students who withdraw from college or drop classes during the second week of a regular term will be refunded fifty percent of tuition as well as fifty percent of program and course fees; neither college services fees nor the first-time enrollment fee will be refunded. Even if a student adds a class in place of the one that is dropped, no fees will be refunded on the dropped class. Students who withdraw from or drop classes after the second week of a regular term will not be refunded any tuition or fees.
Reiver Card
Iowa Western partners with a company called Higher One to offer students a college refund card with two choices for financial aid and tuition refund delivery: a Same business day deposit to a checking account, serviced by Higher One, Inc. or a direct deposit to any bank account. All Iowa Western students, except high school students, who are enrolled in 6 or more credits, will receive a Reiver Card in their first semester of enrollment.
The Reiver Card is not a credit card; it is the key for choosing a refund preference. The card isn't active when students receive it. They must visit www.ReiverCard.com to activate the Reiver Card and select a refund preference. If the student chooses to open a OneAccount, the Reiver Card will serve as his or her debit card. If the student chooses not to open a OneAccount, the Reiver card will not serve as his or debit card; however, it is important that the student retain the card for the duration of his or her enrollment at the College.
For more information about the Reiver Card, please visit www.ReiverCard.com or contact the Business Office at 712-325-3225 or email@example.com.
Return of Federal Financial Aid Funds
Students who receive Title IV financial aid (Federal Pell Grant, Academic Competitive Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, and Federal Direct loans) are subject to federal return of Title IV funds statutes. These regulations apply to recipients of Title IV financial aid who completely withdraw from college or who stop attending all classes during the enrollment period. The College must determine the amount of Title IV financial aid the student earned and return the unearned aid to the respective federal financial aid programs. Unearned aid will be returned to the federal programs in the following order: Loans (Federal Unsubsidized Loans, Federal Subsidized Loans, and Federal PLUS Loans), Grants (Federal Pell Grant, Academic Competitiveness Grant, and Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant), and then other Title IV funds. The College must return the funds as soon as possible but must do so no later than 45 days after the College determines the withdrawal date or last date of attendance.
If a student officially withdraws from the college prior to completing 60% of the semester, financial aid awards will be adjusted accordingly and unearned aid will be returned to the appropriate federal financial aid program. If a student officially withdraws from the college after completing 60% or more of the semester, no financial aid adjustment or return of funds is necessary. The percent of the semester completed is based on calendar days from the first day of the semester through the last scheduled day of finals. This includes weekends and mid-semester breaks of less than five days. Students who do not go through the official withdrawal process will be treated as having attended through the midpoint of the semester, unless the last day of attendance can be documented.
