It's become rather fashionable in literature today for authors to put a new spin on the link between science and religion. As both philosophies continue to collide, spin, and evolve into one another readers have been treated to books like Genome Scientist Francis Collins' "Language of God", which presents religion from a scientific point of view, along with rebuttals like Richard Dawkins' "The God Delusion", but nobody makes an argument quite like Ahamed V.P. Kutty. In his similar exploration of these worlds, Kutty presents evidence in the face of a religious question often overlooked among Christians, Muslims, and Jewish practitioners. The question is simple: If incest is a sin, and Adam and Eve were the first humans created by God to conceive and populate the earth, then wouldn't their offspring be forced to mate with one another in order to achieve such ends? In essence, has God, or the creators of the Bible and Qur'an, created a situation where humanity must sin to survive? The answer, as always, is not as simple as the question.
As the title might have given away, this is a book of scientific research which takes the writings of biblical scripture into account in order to achieve an answer. As such, it assumes that the reader is also religious. But not blindly so, as an overwhelming amount of scientists are turning to religion to solve the questions that they themselves cannot, it is no small readership that Kutty addresses. And his writing is cleverly detailed from both points of view so that ministers of faith will find it just as interesting as those of science. Answering the proposed thesis leads the reader on a journey through many questions that befuddle even the most devout religious followers. Where is the biblical Garden of Eden? How does religion account for the theory of evolution? Who are the real Adam and Eve? Is the Bible meant to be taken literally, or as hyperbole?
Walking a middle path between the radical views of both science and religion is bound to offend fringe readers, but I think the majority of us tend to hold a similar middle ground. And for us, Kutty lays an overwhelming amount of evidence at our feet, which take all widely accepted viewpoints regarding the nature of evolution, the Garden of Eden, and the many different versions of Adam and Eve, into account. Often Kutty excludes the verbalized opinion that is so prominent in the works of his contemporaries, allowing the reader to connect the dots for themselves having looked over each textual exhibit. This layout is also helpful for quick reading, reference, and maintaining interest of laymen, like me, since all of these points are categorically organized and labeled. Each chapter begins with a clearly stated paragraph that elaborates on its title, and is often followed by the listing of evidence which lead the reader to the drawn conclusion. What Kutty is able to do, using this method, is clearly present his case without reducing anything to simple conjecture.
Although this method does have a few minor holes since using evidence connecting so many different sources is sometimes thin. For instance, the use of a theory in general relativity to explain how angels of heaven might be able to travel through wormholes to get between Heaven and Earth is, according to Kutty himself, "not readily acceptable but feasible". In other words, there is only so much that science can explain. However, the research regarding DNA histories which trace ancestry back to an original Adam and Eve, (though admittedly not the Bible's Adam and Eve) is extremely positive. These many cases often provide a jumping point for those who wish to examine the issues more closely through the inclusion, at the end of each chapter, of a detailed bibliography.

I am using the automatic upgrade feature in 2.8.6. I have a dozen sites hosted on Rackspace CloudSites, about half of which the automatic upgrade works perfectly. For the other half, clicking the "Upgrade Automatically" link simply loads the page that says
"Downloading update from http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.9.zip."
and nothing happens. I check the server and /wp-content/wordpress-2.9.zip is a 0B file. I don't think it is a server issue because some sites on the same server upgrade fine. I thought it was a plugin because deactivating WP Super Cache allowed the upgrade for one of the sites, but unfortunately, that fix didn't work for all. Thanks for any help with this.

Alexis Adams stopped by her boyfriend Tyler's house to grab a quick word of advice from his stepmom Bianca while he was still on his way home. She confided in her how special she wanted to make their very first anniversary and was completely stumped on what she could do to really wow him. She admitted she really didn't have much of an idea because she only had one other relationship before Tyler and it was with a girl. Bianca saw her chance to seduce her and poured it on. Alexis always had a thing for learning new sexual tricks from older women and could not resist but once she was tongue deep in MILF pussy Tyler walked in on them and provided Bianca the perfect opportunity to not only get back at her cheating, estranged hubby but also finally sink her cougar teeth into some young, fresh man meat.

Bianca came home from work to find her step daughter and boyfriend studying for an exam. Bianca got fresh as she always does and moved in on Tony. He locked onto her vibes. Kimberly tried to explain to Tony how forward Bianca could be and not to worry. Tony had other thoughts and made an excuse to get upstairs where Bianca was. He creeped in and found her naked in the shower. He was being a huge pervert, as his girlfriend was downstairs wondering what was taking him so long. Kimberly got worried and went to investigate. She caught her boyfriend completely red handed. Tony tried to explain, but Kimberly wasn't buying it. Bianca took control and was going to make sure everybody was on the same page. She wanted to make sure Tony knew how to keep a girl happy. She got him on his knees and his face in between her legs. Kimberly rolled her eyes, for she knew this was nothing new with her step mom. Tony was in pussy heaven. He got both of them nice and heated up. Bianca swallowed his cock whole. She was so far down on his shaft, she had his balls smashed up against her face. They continued in the bedroom, as the girls rubbed their pussies together for a pussy explosive good time. After the little display of pussy power, Tony put on his own performance. He pounded Bianca good, as she came a few times over. Then he laid back and let them finish him off.

A few weeks ago, Bianca had a great time with Levi, so when her best friend mentioned that she was having marital problems, she immediately took her over to Hunter's place. When they arrived, Bianca's big booty friend tried to defend her husband by stating that he works all the time and so on. Levi asked if she was satisfied with his performance in the bedroom, and she obviously said. Levi took a step back, then he instructed Bianca to kiss her friend and soon enough, the girls started pussy licking finger banging each other. After a few minutes, Levi jumped in between the ladies with his cock in hand and an all out orgy ensued.

The MILF hunter was driving through the parking garage at the mall when he spotted a beautiful long-legged MILF. Bianca seemed to have lost her car, and the hunter asked if she needed any assistance. She told him her car got towed, so the hunter came up with a brilliant plan. He called his friend and asked him to pretend like he worked at the tow truck company. They told her they would help to get her car back, but it would take a half-hour or longer. So the hunter convinced her to come back to his place. Once they arrived there, it was not long until Bianca was showing off her see-through panties, as her long sexy legs were spread out on the bed. She sucked that cock and got her ass munched on while playing with her wet pussy. Bianca got her twat drilled and got man juice all over her pussy.

I'm trying to grab someones facebook picture from their page while just knowing their email address. I know that the service gravatar.com does this, but a lot of people don't have accounts there so I would like to grab the pictures from facebook. Is this possible? I didn't find anything about this in the developers part of facebook.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Programatically? You may not necessarily have the right to use others photographs. Facebook can because the users have agreed to their T&Cs and uploaded the pictures but I don't think you have any rights concerning the pictures without first contacting the owner.
just a quick look at facebook and i've found that when you are logged in to facebook you can search for users based on email address and that will bring back the avatar. i'd be surprised if neither the api nor the FQL supports this functionality since it seems pretty basic.
+1 evernoob on the legality part. altho it is available to you when you're logged in so i can't see why they'd specifically restrict you.
good luck and let us know the results.

Community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) institutions are challenged with finding common ground as a basis for action among diverse resource users and stakeholders. Establishing and maintaining institutional credibility within their regions, catchments, communities and among their membership is fundamental to overcoming the challenge. So too is applying appropriate institutional and governance structures and appointing appropriate leaders. Drawing on triangulated case study data collected over a 12-month period using multiple methods, this paper examines the influence of institutional credibility and leadership on the functioning, decision-making and governance of two CBNRM institutions in Queensland, Australia. The paper shows that stakeholders have very different expectations of what makes a CBNRM institution credible. Satisfying the multiple expectations requires CBNRM institutions to incorporate diverse stakeholder representation, assert their legitimacy and demonstrate accountability, transparency, fairness and justice. The paper also draws attention to the value and importance of appointing inspirational leaders who focus on encouraging followers to pursue collective goals. Comparing the merits and constraints of appointing average Joes versus community elites to the Boards of CBNRM institutions, the paper highlights the urgent need for community-based natural resource governance and inspirational leadership education and training programs to improve the availability and quality of CBNRM leadership in rural Australia. Since combining credible CBNRM institutions with inspirational leaders does not necessarily equate to sustainable on-ground NRM outcomes, it is critical that the education and training programs emphasise the importance of monitoring and evaluating the improvements in decision-making processes and in decision outcomes.

i'm curious as i'm in the same boat, got RROD and probably gotta buy a new console but would like to keep my old flashed drive.
Posted 25 April 2008 - 12:32 PM
You can't just swap in the new drive. It would be easier for you guys to just have the new drives modded and be done with it. If you want to make the old drive work in the new 360 you need to get the key from the new drive, inject that into the FW of the old drive as well as spoof it so the 360 thinks it's the original drive model/version that was in it. There are loads and loads of tutorials on all of this in the 360 Newbie Chat and DVD ROM Technical forums Pinned sections.

On Oct. 19, Lebanese Brig. Gen. Wissam al-Hassan was assassinated on a narrow side street near Sassine Square in downtown Beirut. The attack involved the detonation of a moderately sized vehicle-borne improvised explosive device as al-Hassan's car passed by the vehicle in which the device was hidden. The explosion killed not only al-Hassan and his driver but also six other people and wounded about 90 more.
Al-Hassan, the intelligence chief for Lebanon's Internal Security Forces, had been a marked man for some time prior to his death. He was the security chief for former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri, who was assassinated in February 2005 in an attack that most believe was conducted by the Syrian regime and its allies in Lebanon.
But more recently, as Stratfor noted in February 2012, al-Hassan played a critical role channeling support from the Gulf states and the West to the Syrian rebels through Lebanon. This involved smuggling arms from Lebanon to Syria destined for opposition forces, providing a haven for Syrian defectors in Lebanon and allowing Syrian rebels to use Lebanese territory as a staging ground for attacks in Syria. His part in the Syrian opposition movement clearly made him a prime target for Syrian intelligence and indeed the Syrian regime had previously attempted to assassinate al-Hassan -- one such plot was thwarted in early 2012 by Jordanian intelligence, which caught wind of the plot and passed a warning to Lebanese authorities.
Al-Hassan was doing dangerous work in a dangerous place, and he knew he was a marked man. His former boss had been assassinated and there were plots afoot to kill him, too. Due to the manner in which al-Hariri was assassinated, al-Hassan decided to employ a very different style of security -- low-profile security instead of the high-profile measures employed by al-Hariri -- and yet he was killed despite his different approach.

EXCEPT when I try to upload an image with the Flash Uploader, I get a bright red "Security error." come up. If I use the Browser Uploader, I don't get an error message, it just doesn't work.
I'm sure this has to do with cross-domain security. Does anyone know what the fix is? Something to do with the .htaccess rules?

Volume 130, Issue 24, 28 June 2009
The presence of a chiral surface can alter the characteristics of nearby solvent molecules such that, on average, these molecules become chiral. The extent of this induced chirality and its dependence on the surface and solvent characteristics are explored in this article. Three surfaces employed in chiral chromatography are examined: The Whelk-O1 interface, a phenylglycine-derived chiral stationary phase (CSP), and a leucine-derived CSP. All three interfaces are "brush type" in that the chiral molecules are attached to the underlying substrate via an achiral tether. The solvents consist of ethanol, a binary -hexane/ethanol solvent, 2-propanol, and a binary -hexane/2-propanol solvent.Molecular dynamics simulations of the solvated chiral interfaces form the basis of the analysis. The chirality induced in the solvent is assessed based on a chirality index originally proposed by Osipov et al. [Mol. Phys.84, 1193 (1995)]. Solventchirality will depend on the solvent position relative to the surface. For this reason, a position-dependent chirality index is analyzed in detail.
Local explicitly correlated coupled-cluster methods: Efficient removal of the basis set incompleteness and domain errors130(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3160675View Description Hide Description
We propose an explicitly correlated local LCCSD-F12 method in which the basis set incompleteness error as well as the error caused by truncating the virtual orbital space to pair-specific local domains are strongly reduced. This is made possible by including explicitly correlated terms that are orthogonalized only to the pair-specific configuration space. Thus, the contributions of excitations outside the domains are implicitly accounted for by the explicitly correlated terms. It is demonstrated for a set of 54 reactions that the reaction energies computed with the new LCCSD-F12 method and triple-zeta basis sets deviate by at most 2.5 kJ/mol from conventional CCSD complete basis set results (RMS: 0.6 kJ/mol). The local approximations should make it possible to achieve linear scaling of the computational cost with molecular size.

PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Comic Books
Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan's television series The Strain is spreading to Japan, where it will be greeted with illustrations by manga artist Kōji Matsumoto.
Crunchyroll reports that Matsumoto, creator of the vampire manga Higanjima, has drawn a series of illustrations to mark the Blu-ray and DVD release of The Strain in Japan. They'll appear next week in Kodansha's Weekly Young Jump magazine, alongside an interview with Matsumoto and an introduction to the TV show, which is based on del Toro and Hogan's vampire novels.
If you're still upset about Konami's cancellation of Silent Hills, the video-game franchise reboot by Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima and director Guillermo del Toro, you'll probably want to brace yourselves for this news: Junji Ito, whom del Toro accurately described as "the undisputed master of horror in Japan," was also part of the project.
The filmmaker revealed the information Sunday on Twitter, adding, "Kojima and myself are fans."
Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles honors a modern master of horror and coolness with "Guillermo Del Toro: In Service Of Monsters," featuring artwork by a variety of creators that pays tribute to films like Hellboy, Pacific Rim and Pan's Labyrinth.
The impressive collection includes everything from artwork to sculptures to a Hellboy teddy bear. Contributors include Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, Joey Weiser, John Rozum and many more.
Check out a few pieces below, then visit the Gallery 1988 site to see them all.
Among the nominees announced earlier this week for the 41st annual Annie Awards is none other than Guy Davis, creator of The Marquis and longtime artist of B.P.R.D., for his contribution to the opening titles of The Simpsons' "Treehouse of Horror XXIV." He shares the nod for Outstanding Achievement, Storyboarding in an Animated TV/Broadcast Production with director Guillermo del Toro and storyboard artist Ralph Sosa.
Davis, who provided the monster designs for del Toro's Pacific Rim, has been described by the director as "one of the best monster designers alive right now!" Their collaborations go beyond those two projects, however: Davis is a concept artist for FX's upcoming vampire thriller The Strain, based on the horror novels by del Toro and Chuck Hogan (the filmmaker co-wrote and directed the pilot, and serves as an executive producer), and on the long-discussed feature adaptation of Pinocchio.
The Simpsons couch gag, which you can watch below, is an epic homage to some of the director's own works as well as horror classics, filled to the brim with references to Ray Harryhausen, Alfred Hitchcock, H.P. Lovecraft and more.
The winners of the Annie Awards, which recognize excellence in animation, will be announced Feb. 1.
Fox has debuted Guillermo del Toro's epic couch gag for The Simpsons' "Treehouse of Horror XXIV," which features homages to some of the filmmaker's own works – Hellboy, Blade and Pan's Labyrinth among them — and horror classics ranging from The Birds and The Shining to The Phantom of the Opera and The Car. There are nods to such influential figures as H.P. Lovecraft, Ray Harryhausen, Edgar Allan Poe and Ray Bradbury, too. Heck, Hypnotoad from Futurama even gets a cameo.
Del Toro said in paying tribute to The Simpsons and his inspirations, he drew upon the MAD Magazine work of Mort Drucker, Will Elder and Harvey Kurtzman.
"They would try to cram so many references in," he told Entertainment Weekly. "You as a kid could spend an afternoon on your bed with your magnifying glass going through a frame of Mad magazine and finding all these references to this and that."
"Treehouse of Horror XXIV" airs Sunday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Fox.
It's tough to imagine a better way to celebrate two horror movies by writer and director Guillermo del Toro than with art by Mike Mignola, Guy Davis and Dave Stewart.
As part of its collaboration with The Criterion Collection, Mondo has commissioned stunning new artwork for the filmmaker's 1993 feature debut Cronos from Mignola and Stewart, and for 2001's The Devil's Backbone, from Davis. Del Toro of course has a history with the two illustrators: He worked with Mignola on Hellboy and Hellboy II: The Golden Army, while Davis provided monster designs for Pacific Rim.
Limited-edition, hand-numbered screen prints of each piece will go on sale Wednesday for $45 each. As usual, you must follow Mondo's Twitter account to learn the times of the sale. You can see details of the prints on the Mondo blog.
I don't if there's ever been an movie that's divided the voices in my social media feeds so thoroughly as Pacific Rim. Over the past couple of weeks, its been roughly a 50/50 split between "this is the best movie this summer" and "this is the dumbest thing I've ever seen." I won't write off a movie I won't watch until it hits the rental market — this sounds like a great premise for a kid's movie, and I'm kind of sick of seeing adult commentators depositing both too much expectation and critical acclaim on popcorn flicks aimed at young audiences.
No one can deny the visual flair Guillermo del Toro heaps upon his films, and he's done exactly what any other comic book lover would have done when charged with making a monster movie. Ask any comic reader which artist designs the most original, scariest, freakiest creatures out there, and they'll likely say Guy Davis. So del Toro did the howlingly obvious thing and hired him as a concept artist for Pacific Rim. As usual with big blockbuster movies of this type, there's a glossy hardcover "Art of …" book out there accompanying its release (In this case, Pacific Rim: Men, Machines & Monsters by David S Cohen), and this is the place to go to see Davis' work on the film.
It doesn't look like there were as many comic-related announcements on Saturday at WonderCon as there were on Friday, but the second day of the con certainly brought some gems.
• IDW and DC announced that Mark Waid (Daredevil, Insufferable) and Paul Smith (Uncanny X-Men, Leave it to Chance) are teaming up for The Rocketeer/Spirit: Pulp Friction. "Not many writers have been lucky enough to write The Rocketeer or The Spirit," Waid said in a press release, "so I feel like I've won the lottery. This is one of the most exciting-and scariest-assignments I've ever undertaken. Luckily, I've got Paul Smith to make me look good!" The first issue of the miniseries arrives in July.
If it's the first Grumpy Old Fan of 2013, it must be time for "Ten From the Old Year, Ten For the New." For those who came in late, every January I evaluate 10 predictions/observations from the previous year, and present 10 for the next. Accordingly, first we have commentary on 2012's items.
1. The Dark Knight Rises. I had three rather superficial questions about the final Christopher Nolan Batman movie. First, "[c]an it make a skillion dollars?" Not quite — while it did make over a billion dollars worldwide, it didn't make as much as its predecessor domestically, and it came in second to The Avengers. Next was "[w]ill it have Robin?" Well … [SPOILER ALERT] it depends on your definition of "Robin," I suppose. And finally, referring to certain issues about Bane's elocution, "[w]ill it have subtitles?" Nope — as it turns out, they weren't needed. Instead, Bane's accent was perfectly suited to breaking not just Batman, but Alex Trebek as well.
Comics have become ideal source material in Hollywood's eternal search for the next blockbuster. But in the numerous attempts to transform comic-book heroes into movie stars, some have, inevitably, failed in the making. I don't mean failed as in bad, but rather adaptations that were announced only to be canceled before moving into production. For today's "Six by 6," I look at six instances of movies that spiraled into an early grave, and commiserate over what could've been.
1. George Miller's Justice League: In 2007, Warner Bros. was hard at work developing a a feature based on DC Comics' top superhero team. In September 2007, the studio announced the hiring of director George Miller of Mad Max and Happy Feet fame, and pushed to get the film finished before the writers' strike. The proposed budget clocked in at $220 million, with set already being constructed by early 2008 in Australia. Producers even went so far as casting Armie Hammer as Batman, Megan Gale as Wonder Woman, Common as Green Lantern and Adam Brody as the Flash, before the project was abruptly shelved. After the creation of DC Entertainment in 2009, this Justice League movie was permanently canned in favor of a new approach. I would love to have witnessed a movie like this. Miller is an excellent, and mind-bendingly diverse, director, and much of the movie would have relied on the strength of the script.
Conventions | Organizers of Tokyo's Comic Market (aka Comiket), the world's largest self-published comic book fair, have received a threat letter, leading them to consider their options for the planned Dec. 29-31 event. The preparations committee said it has been in contact with local police and the Tokyo Big Sight, where the semiannual convention is held. The incident follows a series of threat letters containing powdered and liquid substances sent in the past month to more than 20 locations linked to Kuroko's Basketball creator Tadatoshi Fujimaki. About 560,000 attended Comic Market 82 over its three days in August (that's turnstile attendance, not unique visitors). [Anime News Network]
Creators | Patrick Rosenkranz catches us up on S. Clay Wilson, who suffered a massive brain injury in 2008 (the cause isn't clear) and is still recovering. "Wilson's favorite word is still 'No!' He used to be a motor mouth but now he's mostly monosyllabic. After a long life dedicated to being the baddest boy in comix, he's become a grand old man, but he's no longer in his right mind. He used to be able to out-talk, out-booze, out-cuss, out-draw, and outrage almost anyone but he doesn't drink, smoke, snort or draw dirty pictures any more. He doesn't walk much either and seldom leaves the house, and only in a wheelchair." [The Comics Journal]
The New York Comic Con officially kicked off this afternoon, with fans eager to get inside and publishers eager to begin releasing news into the wild. So let's see if we can't herd some of those announcements together. Here's a round-up from today:
• DC Comics Co-Publisher and artist extraordinaire Jim Lee will team with Batman scribe Scott Snyder on a new Superman title next year, just in time for the Man of Steel's return to the silver screen. "This will play along with the other Superman books in the sense that it's in continuity, but we really wanted to carve out our own territory," Snyder told CBR. "This really is sort of the biggest, most epic Superman story we could do together while having our feet planted firmly in continuity and making sure that everyone had enough room."
DC also unveiled a Kia Optima that features a Batman design by Jim Lee.
• Marvel announced three more Season One graphic novels: Iron Man, written by Howard Chaykin with art by Gerard Parel; Thor by writer Matthew Sturges and artist Pepe Larraz; and Wolverine, written by the team of Ben Blacker and Ben Acker, with art by Salva Espin. Also, Cullen Bunn returns to Deadpool with Deadpool Killustrated, a miniseries that pits the Merc with a Mouth against Moby Dick, Sherlock Holmes, Beowulf, Don Quixote and more. Spoiler alert: he's gonna kill them.
Legendary Comics announced today at New York Comic Con that it will publish a graphic-novel prequel to Guillermo del Toro's upcoming giant-monster epic Pacific Rim as well as sci-fi miniseries written by Grant Morrison.
Produced by corporate sibling Legendary Pictures, Pacific Rim centers on monstrous creatures known as Kaiju that rise from the sea to consume Earth's resources, and the massive piloted robots called Jaegers that are constructed to save humanity from destruction.
The graphic novel, which will be released before the film's July 12 debut, is written by Pacific Rim screenwriter Travis Beacham and delves into the early days of the Kaiju attacks and how mankind reacts to the realization that these aren't isolated incidents but rather a full-fledged invasion.
Del Toro tells Hero Complex that the book won't simply have his name slapped on the cover. "I try to get involved as much as possible," he said. "The first decision that is needed from me is to hire the right artist, the right colorist, the right writer for the books. That's the part that I think is most important. It's like directing in the comics. … In Pacific Rim, I expect to approve the layout, the pencils, the inking, the coloring, the cover, the script … everything."
Morrison describes his project, Annihilator, to Heat Vision as "my big L.A. story. It's a devil's deal story, it's a science fiction story, it's a horror story."
The six-issue miniseries follows Ray Spass, a screenwriter grappling with a brain tumor, lack of inspiration, and a deadline for a sci-fi movie script about an antihero named Max Nomax who's in a haunted prison on the edge of a black hole after loosing a battle with an artificial lifeform. But Spass' life changes when the real Nomax appears, and it's revealed the tumor contains information key to preventing worldwide destruction.
If you're a fan of BPRD, you know that the above image is from that comic and not Guillermo del Toro's giant-monster film, Pacific Rim. You also know that Guy Davis is pretty great at designing giant monsters.
What you may not know is that Davis is the concept artist for Pacific Rim. No concept art has been shared yet, so this completely slipped by most of us. The other thing you may not know is that he's been working on the film for almost a year, but is now done with his part of it. The movie doesn't come out until next year, but seeing it is suddenly even more exciting; something I didn't think possible in a project involving del Toro and giant monsters.
This week saw the release of the $1 first issue of The Strain from Dark Horse Comics, an adaptation of the trilogy of novels by director Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth) and novelist Chuck Hogan (The Town, Prince of Thieves). Stray Bullets creator David Lapham joins artist Mike Huddleston (Butcher Baker Righteous Maker, The Homeland Directive) in adapting the vampires-meets-Contagion story into comics form.
Here's a sampling of what folks are saying about the first issue:
Rocco Sansone, Review Fix: "The Strain: Volume 1 does follow the original novel closely with the introducing all the main characters, the plane with everyone dead and the prologue with the old lady telling the tale of Jusef Sardu. Sometimes adapting a novel into comic form can be tricky and Dark Horse has managed to pull off the prologue and the first chapter in a good way."
Big Tim, Giant Fire Breathing Robot: "The Strain #1 primarily focuses on a Boeing 777 at JFK International Airport that sits silently on the runway. Before long, fearing a terrorist attack, the Center for Disease Control calls in our hero, Dr. Ephraim Goodweather, and his team of expert biologists. What does this potential terrorist attack have to do with an elderly pawnbroker from Spanish Harlem? Well, I guess you'll have to wait and see. Taking the reigns of The Strain and translating it to comics, is Eisner Award-winning writer David Lapham, and judging by the first issue, he has captured the twisted mystery of del Toro's imagination, firmly planted in the urban fantasy setting."

I have a few question marks going into the season but I feel very confident that we are a team very much on the rise. This season will tell us a lot about Brian Kellys ability to coach up/develop players. Everyone has had a season under their belt with the new Offense and Defense so there should be improvement based on Kelly's track record. Go Irish. I will know that we are back when I see more haters reponding to these Notre Dame topics.

Have YOU been drinking the Kool Aid or

defeat your TROJANS! And by the way, it's
about time they "caught up"" with your
"cheaters" FIGHT ON! What a joke!
p.s. I am ALREADY looking forward to NOTRE
DAME FOOTBALL, especially since my CHICAGO

While the schedule does have names, they are generally weak names so only losing 2 is very possible, one of those losses will without a dount be to Notre Dame. I am thinking more like 3-4 losses for USC. I think a loss will come from one of the Arizona schools and Washinton may be one of those games that sneak up on ya. I guess you have a higher opinion of Cal than I do. That one is a toss up. Stanford, I really don't know, new coach and all. It all depends on your D this season. If they can improve a lot (I don't mean a little), then that changes things because it will help out the Offense. Oh yeah, Barkley has to stay healthy and continue to reduce the bad choices. That should happen with another year of experience.

Like Dan alluded to Jimmy boy, it depends how our D plays this year. But our offensive weapons will be so strong that they will propel us through those road games and after our victory in South Bend, you boys will be cursing the names Barkley and Woods with the same level if distaste like you still do with the names Leinert and Bush!

"Barkley and Woods with the same level if distaste like you still do with the names Leinert and Bush! "
So you are saying that they already agree that they can't win it fair and square so they have decided to cheat like Leinert and bush did?

Good try Dan. No what I am saying is that after Barkley and Woods like up ND for 5 TD passes between them, the South bend faithful will curse those two names as much as they did the previous two when your boys thought they finally ended the losing streak but never did. Now ND faithful has some wild notion that "they" will be starting an Irish streak which will be crushed by Barkley and the Trojans. Why do you think matt came back this year/ To win 10 or more games and win the Heisman much to the chagrin of the NCAA.

Dude, I'm not gonna be Mr. Irish homer right now at all, I'm going to be very objective.
u$c's offense is going to struggle more than they did last year.
You do know all the players they lose on the O line don't you?
And they didn't just lose bodies that they can replace like they always have, because the kids behind them have VERY little experience.
And it's not just an experience thing, it's a depth issue!
Trust me CT, I live very close to u$c and I follow the program very closely.
All I have heard froms fans and alumni friends (and seen with my own eyes), is how horrible a job petey has done recruiting the O line lately. That used to be your bread and butter!
Now it's probably your biggest weakness.
barkley isn't going to have long to get rid of the ball, and our front 7 is mean, fast, strong, experienced, deep, and hungry to thrash the trojans.
That is if barkley hasn't been injured already before we play.
How weird is it to be stoked about the front 7 again guys?

Our secondary isn't deep with experience behind the starters but the starters may be the strength of the team. Blanton and Gray are really good. I think Motta will improve and Slaughter is waiting for his chance. Smith is already a household name to Notre Dame fans and opponents. I think the guys in the back are going to make it a lot easier on the fellas up front and I expect to see our sack totals increase quite a bit. It is nice knowing that the D line is a strength, haven't been able to say that in a very long time. I think we should improve accross the board since everyone starting has either started before or had a plenty of playing time. That should help the offense a bunch. We have to come out swinging though. USF isn't La. Tech or Oregon State, they have players. They also have a mobile QB and that should help us with shoelace later. We have a schedule that should help us move up the rankings, we just have to win. I think we have more than caught up with USC as far as talent goes and we finally have some depth. Should be a good game against them and both should be an improved version from last year, can't use the new coach, new scheme excuse for either school any longer. I think we win the game comfortably as long as we don't turn it over like we did last year. That is the only reason they stayed in the game. They might not be USC from a few years back but they still have plenty of talent to make you pay if you lose focus. I think we have more play makers on both sides of the ball now and having them on both sides is soooooooooo nice. Go Irish, beat USF!

Answer: Short drops by an experienced Heisman candidate QB to one of the most talented WR core in the country. And when your D cheats on their line bumps, we either stop and go for quick strike 15 yard gains or delay draw to our extremely talented back field. You guys like to talk about depth but the truth of it is the talent of the select star players that wins college football games. USC has more "talent" players then Notre Dame!

The telnet could have been simulated entirely from the raw socket. It was just easier to use some program that was already prepared to open a connection. Now that you mention it, the telnet is really no different from opening a tcp connection from lisp. Or equivalently, lisp could start a telnet from a shell command. The fact that the wait is running during that time I think is really not essential cause I think the raw socket does its own buffering. So you can open the raw socket, then open the tcp connection, then read from the raw socket. Of course, if you want to try out multithreading ... If you were looking for something to add to the test suite, I think the bigger problem is that you have to be root.

Sam Tyler (Armand Assante) is a down-on-his-luck dentist, stripped of his license due to malpractice.

Now a lot of dangerous people think Sam is his brother, and they have a score to settle with him.

Joe's Jeans ( JOEZ) is engaged in designing, developing and marketing its Joe's products, which include denim jeans, related casual wear and accessories. This stock is trading up 5.5% at $1.15 in recent trading. Today's Range: $1.10-$1.17 52-Week Range: $0.50-$1.56 Volume: 347,000 Three-Month Average Volume: 335,459 From a technical perspective, JOEZ is starting to move notably higher here with above average volume. This move is quickly pushing JOEZ within range of trigging a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit once JOEZ takes out some near-term overhead resistance at $1.30 to $1.40, and then some more past resistance at $1.56 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades once JOEZ sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that's near or above 335,459 shares. One could get long JOEZ off weakness and anticipate that breakout, and simply use a stop right below its 50-day moving average of $1.05. If that breakout triggers soon, then JOEZ will have an excellent chance of tagging $1.75 to $2 in the near future. Prev 2 of 9 Next
