Soprano's fans should kiss David Chase's ass. Now they can have their inevitable reunion movie. (and I don't even get HBO).
I'm guessing they may do a movie.
I agree, they had to keep things open for the movie. If not, than Chase just chickened out.
Tony Soprano doesn't give a fuck about anyone and is going to keep doing what he does like he always has. David Chase double crossed the audience like Tony does to his victims each and every day.
It was us, the audience, that got whacked last night.
To paraphrase Patsy Parisi, "It wasn't cinematic..."
A very fitting end indeed.
Kiki and Herb are too good for Broadway.
It was thrilling enough to see commercials air for the upcoming performance in San Francisco.
I'm proud to say I've never heard of Spring Awakenings, but it sounds like Rent without all the AIDS.
CBS was really pushing a ridiculous new show all night long: Hugh Jackman and Melanie Griffith star in a weekly television musical about Vegas. I can't believe how awful it is.
If Cop Rock can return so can Tony Soprano.
i don't give a crap about chase's and the soprano's existential bullshit. i have my own to deal with everyday. i watched the sopranos to see what was happening in their world. this is fiction...this is a tv show. it is supposed to be entertainment. it is supposed to be well writtten. give it a freaking ending already. we, as viewers an supporters, deserve that. at least "six feet under" had the grace to understand that. we have been looked down upon by chase and i can only assume he is snickering at us. oh...he is sooo clever. clever sucks.
Kiki and Herb lost? Fuck Broadway, man.
a. Movie! And not just an HBO reunion movie but I'm betting it will be a regular major motion picture type movie. The franchise just graduated, people.
b. Viva Laughlin is the stupid ass tv trailer we saw all last night during the Tony awards. Damn did it look bad.
c. (sings) ev'ry body has AIDS! aids aids aids AIDS! aids aids aids aids aids aids aids aids aids!
Long live Kiki & Herb!
I suspect the show is trying to get the series want future DVD revenue. In today's world, a very popular series while it is on the air, could/will almost always translate into a DVD release. But since DVD's aren't viewed the same way as the series (ya know, one episode per week as opposed to 3-4 episodes per disc), the producers/directors/distributor/series-rights-owner(s) will try do what it takes to make sure that the product's revenue keeps coming in. So, what was one night of disappointment for TV viewers, will (since there are no earth shattering very-last-episode (such as it was all a dream, a'la St. Elsewhere) which is a turn-off for DVD viewers), mean folks will rent/own the last season as much as they would a previous season.
Are you guys seriously going ape shit over this? It was a great finale. Rather than choosing one of the 3 alternate endings, he blacked it out forcing you to get the DVD when it comes out. I ain't mad, Sopranos has entertained me lots, and it will continue to.
Word is Chase made 3 alternative endings. Which I am quite certain will be made available in a boxed set.
I agree with Salon's critic. The song by Journey (used in the last scene) sort of said it all, because the series was about the Journey (duh):
Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Did anyone die at least?
Those who flipped out about the finale: All of you deserve it for centering your vapid lives around the conclusion of a television show.
The ending was brilliant. If Tony had died people would bitch and if Tony had gone to prison people would bitch. Phil's outcome made the night worthwhile for everyone that needed a whacking to satisfy. The ending was a non-ending. Just like life. It goes on. No tidy endings. If you need entertainment with tidy endings to satisfy, go watch Grey's Anatomy or anything else on network tv for that matter.
I saw Kiki and Herb in Seattle years ago expecting to love them and...I didn't. I loved Sarah Rundinoff and Nick Garrison who opened for them, but K&H's set dragged on and on and took advantage of the audience's kindness. They had three encores, two of which were not necessary. By the end, we couldn't wait for it to be over already. Perhaps if they did no encores, I'd see it differently.
Yeah! Can't handle the truth? Go watch Grey's Anatomy or a fucking ventriloquist on Broadway. Philistines!
Great ending. Perfect, in fact. Food for the mind - any other snappy ending would have been like a sugary snack - quick, with a burst of energy, but ultimately unsatisfying and forgettable.
Aside from your disappointment, Dave, weren't Raul Esparza and Christine Ebersole marvelous? The Tonys are infrequently fun to watch (other than it being the gayest night on television), but I really enjoyed last night's performances more than usual. And I had the advantage of watching it in high def. It was so real that after the show I was ready to kiss the cast and head for the summer place out in The Hamptons.
@15 & 17, you're right. Tidy endings are for middlebrow bullshit. Like that fucker Cervantes. I mean, killing off Don Quixote? Pure pandering to the masses.
I think if you're going to commit to an art form that is in its essence narrative, then you can at least bother to complete the narrative. I have no problem with loose endings a la the Russian in the woods. It's the manipulative way that last scene was framed that ticked me off.
On the other hand, I'm getting over it. I think those that saw it as a final insight into the anxiety that Tony has to live through may offer the best explanation to what originally seemed like condescension.
And about those mega-promos for "Viva Laughlin?" I can see Melanie Griffith heading for TV, but Hugh Jackman? I thought he was busy with movies.

@15, It's the manipulation that made it so perfect. David Chase was playing the audience like a violin and to quote A.J. and Tony's mom, in the end, it's 'all a big nothing'.
Viva Laughlin is a knock-off of the Britlander series Viva Blackpool, which is brilliant. I'm sure that's why Jackman is involved as a recurring character (not a series regular). [/TV Obsessive]
I watched about two seconds of the Tony's, which just happened to feature David Hyde Pierce and the Laughlin promo. I think that probably sums it up.
@19 - I completely agree. Christine Ebersole and Raul Esparza were fantastic.
The Sopranos ending was infuriating and brilliant and I hope there isn't a movie. Please God don't let there be a movie.
I only caught the finnal during the morning news but imo the blackout at the end leaves it open to a movie.
I am not opposed to ambiguous endings, but, Six Feet Under had the best series finale of any that I've seen, and it was sort of the ultimate in completing the narrative.
At first I thought someone fucked with the avi I downloaded as a big prank, which would have been brilliant. I watched the episode laying down, but as the diner scene built it was enough for me to sit up anxiously, on the edge of my seat even, waiting for what was coming. When nothing came I felt gypped at first, but now I see the brilliance of it, especially with the lyrics of the song they chose. Not what I expected, but I can see why it had to end that way.
The audience got whacked -- perfect.
Tony got whacked before he even realized what happened.
If you like the Soprano's but hated the ending; then you weren't paying attention. Chase is a genius. In the first episode of the last season he is in a boat with bobby, they are talking about dying, and bobby suggests that when it comes, you dont hear anything or see anything. To make it easy on you, Tony recalls the conversation in the second to last episode. Maybe alternate endings will be put in the DVD, but it's great as it is.
Chase is freakin' brilliant! What a way to end a work of art! Total irresolution. How thought provoking, how bold.
Now that's how Wagner should've ended "The Ring of the Nibelung." Siegfried gets whacked and then we just see Brunhilde wandering around the castle. Music stops. Curtain.
Or "Hamlet." No sword fight and big vulgar finale. Instead, Hamlet comes home from Ophelia's funeral and feels sad. Stuff happens. Rosencrantz gets whacked. But not Guildenstern (Why not? Who knows. Life is like that!) Hamlet order onion rings. Curtain.
Shakespeare? Wagner? Bah! They got nothing on David Chase!!
As a whole, the last episode was a let down, but the more I think about the ending, the more I think it was clever, if not brilliant.
it was as close to perfect as it could have been.

As a second part of my problem I end up with the differential equation looking like: $$ \frac{d^2 y}{dx^2} + \frac{1}{x}\frac{dy}{dx} - \frac{a}{x^2}y - \frac{c}{x}y + b x e^{-x^2/p^2}y - d e^{-x^2/p^2}y = 0. $$ It is more complex that my previous question. Can someone suggestion a solution method for this?
The added complication makes closed form solutions even less likely, but you still have $x=0$ as a regular singular point with indicial roots $\pm \sqrt{a}$, and corresponding series solutions.

Residents from Gray celebrate daughter's unique Navy re-enlistment
Published: Tuesday, March 9, 2010 at 12:06 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 9, 2010 at 12:06 p.m.
HOUMA — Chief Petty Officer Michell Jordan battled mud, freezing lakes, heights, claustrophobia-inducing conditions, barbed wire, fire and electroshocks just after re-enlisting in the U.S. Navy for a third time.
But the brutal obstacle course was not part of any military duties.
Instead, the 32-year-old Jordan chose the Tough Guy Challenge, a semiannual British fundraiser for an animal sanctuary, as the venue for taking her reenlistment oath.
"I've been in the service more than 20 years, and I've never seen somebody reenlist quite like that," said Navy Master Chief Petty Officer John Frakes.
Jordan, an Illinois native whose parents live in Gray, serves in administrative personnel at the Joint Intelligence Operations Center Analytic Center Europe at Royal Air Force Molesworth in the U.K.
"It's a fulfilling work," Jordan said. "I've gone lots of places. And I'm serving my country so I feel like I'm doing my part to help out."
Jordan joined the Navy after high school, inspired by her stepfather, David Snyder, who served 20 years in that branch of the military.
Jordan's husband, Marshall, serves in the U.S. Air Force. Her younger brother, Derek, serves in the U.S. Marines, said Jordan's mother, Janis Snyder.
Jordan told her family about the Tough Guy Challenge when she visited Gray for Christmas.
"I'm very proud that she went ahead and did the whole thing," Janis Snyder said.
Jordan took her oath Jan. 31, then for the first time joined 22 fellow military members in tackling the "very cold and wet and dirty" Tough Guy Challenge.
"It was 32 degrees and snowing when we arrived, and it didn't warm up much during the entire event," Jordan said. "It was both physically and mentally challenging, and I couldn't have done it without my teammates helping me out and cheering me on."
The challenge reveals how far participants can push themselves, Jordan said.
"The hardest part was jumping into the freezing water and ducking under the boards," she said, referring to an obstacle that requires swimming beneath boards.
Some of her teammates had competed previously and urged her to give it a try.
"They said it was a lot of fun and builds camaraderie," Jordan said. "They were right."

If I put the shortcode with a parent category into a page, the plugin display the faq from the parent category and the ones from the sub ones.
I would like, instead, to display only the FAQs from the parent one.
And I guess that should be the default behaviour, so that the user can apply both categories only when he or she wants the faq to be displayed in both places, or otherwise apply just one.
Any hint, idea, else?
Thank you.

I've been wondering forever how to get a multi-select dropdown of my categories and finally found my answer here in the form of:
<?php $select_cats = wp_dropdown_categories( array( 'echo' => 0 ) );
$select_cats = str_replace( "name='cat' id=", "name='cat[]' multiple='multiple' id=", $select_cats );
echo $select_cats; ?>
Which is AMAZING. However, I need it to go one step further and have a multi-select dropdown of a custom taxonomy called regions.
How can I accomplish this?

1995 Nissan Truck XE 2dr Regular Cab SB
Outstanding reliability; only 2 repairs in 20 years: starter at about 12 years and alternator at about 15 years. Otherwise, only routine maintenance. Tows and hauls way more than you would have thought for a 4 cylinder engine. Still runs like a top at 163,000 and 20 yrs.
My dad bought the 95 Nissan truck for $10,500 in 1996 when I was 16 years old. In 2006 he gave it to me, and now at 34 years old, I still drive it everyday as my primary vehicle to and from work. Currently it has 180,000 miles on it and is showing no signs of slowing down. Besides routine maintenance and replacements, in almost 10 years I've only replaced the starter and power steering pump. Everything still works, including the tape deck, A/C, heater, speakers. I wax her twice a year and the paint has held its own with no signs of rust. Blue Book estimates this car is only worth about $1,500. To me, I know I can get several more years out of her. My son is five, and I'm thinking I might be able to give it to him when he turns 16. If you can find one, buy it!
We got this truck in '97 when it was revoked from the previous owner because he couldn't pay the payments. We have 287,000 miles on it currently and have never really had any problems on it besides a transmission going out(Due to lack of replacing fluids). It has gone all over North Carolina, and to the Beach. It is currently in poor condition due to being mistreated for so many years
It is going to be fixed right back up with a new paint job, tires and some other thingss
Changing gears
Cup holders
Better bulb sockets
I purchased this truck from the second owner with 151K miles.I have driven it to 168k and had absolutely no problems with it.Installed bucket seats from a 95 Pathfinder ... recovered the headliner and installed 16" aluminum wheels and it looks like new.AC is original and will freeze you out.Engine runs smooth and quiet - especially for a 4 cyl. - and has never let me down.Small oil leak was fixed with a new valve cover gasket. This is a Colorado truck, so no rusty frame issues.If you can find one - but it.You won't be disappointed.
Body style - build quality - handling -
cost to operate.
Better ride quality.
I purchased this vehicle brand new and after 14 years of ownership, I have to say that I would not give this up. This truck is very dependable and cost of ownership can not be beaten. I have abused this vehicle more than enough times by hauling over its weight limit and towed more past its capacity and it has never failed me once. Maintainability has been very cheap. Only had to replace suspension bushings, and shocks along with the scheduled oil changes. From my standpoint, I will keep driving this truck until the wheels fall off.
Awesome hauling and towing capability, driveability is great, cost of ownership is marvelous and can't be beaten, I think.
More passing power when at highway speeds

Lleyton Hewitt ended his losing streak as the Australian battled into the second round at Queen's Club with a 4-6, 6-1, 6-3 victory over America's Michael Russell on Monday.
Hewitt is a four-time champion at the pre-Wimbledon warm-up event, but thoughts of a record fifth crown were some way from the former world number one's thoughts as he arrived on the grass courts in west London.
The 32-year-old is well into the twilight of his career and his lowly 82nd position in the world rankings reflects that diminished status.
His last match was typical of his current troubles as he suffered a frustrating first round defeat at the French Open when he squandered a two-set lead against Gilles Simon.
That was Hewitt's fourth successive defeat and he hadn't tasted victory since the first round of the Miami Masters back in March.
But the former Wimbledon champion put an end to that depressing sequence with a gritty win over Russell to set up a second round clash against Bulgarian 10th seed Grigor Dimitrov or Israel's Dudi Sela.
Hewitt had to save two break points in the sixth game and he was under pressure again as he served to stay in the first set at 4-5.
This time he cracked as a tame forehand into the net on set point gave Russell the lead.
Hewitt responded well to that setback and broke in the opening game of the second set.
At 35, Russell is one of the oldest active players on the ATP Tour. And the world number 97 started to fade after Hewitt saved five break points in the second game to preserve his lead.
Another Hewitt break made it 3-0 and he raced through the rest of the set for the loss of just one game.
Hewitt appeared to have taken complete control with a break in the second game of the deciding set.
A double fault from the Australian gave Russell an instant break back.
But Hewitt kept his composure and landed the knockout blow when a wayward forehand from the American gifted him a 5-3 lead, which he immediately capitalised on by serving out the match.
There was more success for Australia as Hewitt's compatriot Marinko Matosevic clinched a 7-5, 6-2 win over good friend Frederik Nielsen of Denmark.
"Yeah, it is (tough playing a friend)," Matosevic said. "I know Freddie really well. He's a great guy, one of the nice guys on the tour.
"It was a tough first set but the second set was pretty good. I'm feeling good.
"Happy to be off the clay (courts) and on the green stuff. Grass is one of my favourite surfaces."
World number 65 Matosevic, beaten in the French Open first round by eventual runner-up David Ferrer, next plays Spain's Pablo Andujar or France's Michael Llodra.
British wild card Daniel Evans caused a surprise as the world number 277 thrashed Argentina's Guido Pella, who is ranked 75th, 6-3, 6-1.
The 23-year-old then revealed he is determined to win enough matches to become a regular on the Tour because he wants to escape the strict confines of the National Tennis Centre, where many of Britain's most promising players live and train.
"At the NTC, you have to be in bed by 10:30. It's good being 15 again!" said Evans, who plays 13th seed Jarkko Nieminen or America's Ryan Harrison in the second round.
"There is a security guard who comes and checks. That's God's honest truth. They're pretty strict there on the juniors."
Belgian veteran Xavier Malisse set up a second round clash with former US Open champion and third seed Juan Martin del Potro after defeating Spain's Guillermo Garcia-Lopez 6-4, 5-7, 6-4.
Holland's Thiemo De Bakker earned a clash with second seed Tomas Berdych thanks to a 6-2, 7-6 (7/5) win against Serbia's Ilija Bozoljac.

I have a
Rails app that was already setup to use
devise with
User model. I just add
ActiveAdmin and it uses a separate model name
AdminUser. This new model also uses devise. The problem that I have is:
When I go to
localhost:3000/admin - the admin login page, the app directs me first to
localhost:3000/users/sign_in - the general user login page. In other words, to go to admin page, I have to login twice.
Is there anyway to fix this?

We welcome applications from home-schooled students, just as we welcome applications from students educated in other, more traditional settings. While we work hard to evaluate the credentials of all our applicants, it is true that the credentials of home-schooled applicants present an unusual challenge, simply because they often lack the contextualizing information that conventional transcripts, grades, ranks in class, and curricula can provide.
While we do not require that home-schooled applicants take any special steps in our admission process, we do recommend that they try as best they can to help us see their academic performance in the clearest possible context. In recent years successful home-schooled applicants have chosen one (and usually several) of the following methods: taking courses in a local college; joining organizations in their community; providing samples of academic projects (e.g., essays, research papers, articles) they have completed; sending multiple recommendations from non-family-members who know them well; taking more SAT II Subject Tests than we encourage of all candidates.
Home-schooled students provide another dimension of experiential diversity to our entering class and we hope to offer admission to home-schooled students every year.

Two girls write letters back and forth to each other, describing their sexual exploits in clumsy, minimal detail. Hey, that's a sexual correspondence. Sometimes they just talk on the phone. Eventually they are united in Hollywood, in bed, and get to fuck the plumber, pool man, and other respectable members of the blue collar strata.
Six scenes covering the usual depts.: g/g, two d.p.s, and a bathtub pussy-shaving extravaganza. All pairings have a dead, pain-by-numbers quality. The creamy faces and naked torsos of Emily Hill and Gina Rome grace the box cover with the Hollywood sign in the background, but zero credits on the tape puts the renter at a disadvantage as to who, what, and why.

Can Symantec be more than the sum of its parts?
That question appears to be on the minds of many of the company's channel partners. In particular, some of the company's value-added resellers (VARs)--who also resell products from Symantec's competitors--have been asking how the company's new leadership plans to move forward.
Symantec's board fired president and CEO Enrique Salem, who'd held both posts for three years, on July 25, and installed board chairman Steve Bennett in the roles instead. The company's shares immediately climbed 12% in value. "My view is that Symantec's assets are strong and yet the company is underperforming against the opportunity," said Bennett--a veteran of Intuit and General Electric--in a statement. He promised to begin his tenure by holding a listening period of up to 120 days with customers, partners, and shareholders, about the best way to take the company forward.
Some of those business partners have already begun speaking out. In a recent "open letter to Steve Bennett," Mike Karp, a VP and principal analyst at consultancy Ptak, Noel, & Associates, reported hearing "nervousness in the channel, which of course is to be expected when a major supplier brings on new leadership." But he said that nervousness reflects "deep concern" not about the new CEO, "but more about the potential for lack of change."
"Steve, right now you are the CEO of many good brands. But wouldn't it be much better to be the CEO of a consolidated Symantec?" said Karp.
[ There's no cure for human error, but that doesn't make you helpless. See Why Security Policies Fail, How To Make Them Work. ]
On a related note, this week Symantec hosted its annual partner conference, Symantec Partner Engage, in Baltimore. While no major announcements were previewed from the invitation-only gathering, Symantec was expected to announce new incentives for its sales representatives, aimed at eliminating some of the company's product silos.
But fixing Symantec will take more than new incentive schemes. Symantec's stock has underperformed for years, and the company--which boasts annual revenue of $6.73 billion--has lost $3 billion in value in the past year, according to Bloomberg. Many observers trace Symantec's financial problems to its acquisition of Veritas--pushed by Salem's predecessor--in 2005, for $13.5 billion.
One Symantec channel partner--speaking on condition of anonymity--said he believes that after the Veritas acquisition, Symantec became blinded by the potential profit margins to be made in the storage business, and made all other Symantec products a secondary concern.
But now, he said, Symantec is facing stiff competition from numerous businesses, some of which the $1 billion channel partner also resells, including EMC, Dell--especially with its acquisition of backup provider AppAssure--as well as CommVault. From a security perspective, meanwhile, there's strong competition from Intel's McAfee, Trend Micro--which the reseller said has taken the lead on promoting the need for businesses to secure their cloud and virtual environments--as well as "a bunch of other products out there who are partnering with the channel and investing heavily in the channel community."
According to the business partner, Symantec's security business has been lagging, both in terms of in-house support as well as innovation. "They're not doing very well because today, the culture within Symantec, and the commission model in the company, is most heavily focused on tiered backup products--the legacy Veritas products," he said. "So every time we get in from of them and ask what we should promote, it's always Veritas, not security."
He said Symantec also remains late to the security game when it comes to cloud computing and virtualization. "I would have expected them to talk about how [Symantec] will secure your endpoints in a virtual environment, but instead it's all about backup and archiving," he said. "But the security industry is mostly driven by threats, and when it comes to the cloud and virtualization, Symantec is very late in addressing that market."
What should Symantec do? "Symantec still has a big presence in the backup sector, and we want Symantec to be successful, because we'll end up making money as well," said the reseller. "So we're hoping they'll take some right steps." In particular, he's called on the new CEO to articulate a clear direction for the company, for Symantec to invest more heavily in its channel partners, and for the company to create new messaging about how it can both back up and secure business data.
But new messaging might not be enough to satisfy investors. In fact, some analysts have been calling on the company to split its storage and security divisions, perhaps selling parts of the company to IBM or Oracle. "There was always this hope and promise that storage and security would converge, and it really hasn't," Brian Freed of Wunderlich Securities told Bloomberg last month. "Since there are no synergies, a singular focus yields better results."
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

traveling while pregnant after preemie
Comments (4)
I don't think a 3 hour drive will be a problem unless you are already on strict bedrest or having complications.
My brother had his wedding ten hours away from me when I was 32 weeks. My daughter (who was a 24 weeker) was his flower girl and I was so afraid we wouldn't make it to the wedding. We did make it though, we just took it slow and easy! Good luck with the pregnancy and I hope you get to make it to the wedding!
That's a tough call. I would only go someplace where you would feel comfortable having the baby. I don't know your story but I too had a 33 weeker. Then my next DC came at 32 weeks. In both instances I had unexplained PROM and labor immediately set in and couldn't be stopped. I'm am definitely not trying to scare you, but for me I wouldn't risk it. Unless the wedding is in a big city with a good hospital/NICU. I definitely would not go someplace remote!
I'm now PG with #3 and have been told I can't travel after 28 weeks...
I would just be very up front with the bride- tell her the circumstances and make sure she has a backup plan in case you aren't able to make it. Then just take it day by day! You never know, you may have NO signs of early labor and your doc may give you the go-ahead. I don't see why it should be an issue unless you are on bedrest at that point. And if you are, I'm sure the bride will understand.
If you think this is going to cause unneeded stress on you OR the bride, you can always offer to play a less significant role in the wedding - the bride will know she offered and you know that you are valued in that way by the bride.

The Crucifixion of Tomas Young
Posted on Mar 10, 2013
By Chris Hedges
(Page 2)
He was transferred from Kuwait to the U.S. military hospital at Landstuhl, Germany, and then to Walter Reed, in Washington, D.C. He asked if he could meet Ralph Nader, and Nader visited him in the hospital with Phil Donahue. Donahue, who had been fired by MSNBC a year earlier for speaking out against the war, would go on, with Ellen Spiro, to make the 2007 film "Body of War," a brutally honest account of Young's daily struggle with his physical and emotional scars of war. In the documentary, he suffers dizzy spells that force him to lower his head into his hands. He wears frozen gel inserts in a cooling jacket because he cannot control his body temperature. He struggles to find a solution to his erectile dysfunction. He downs fistfuls of medications—carbamazepine, for nerve pain; coumadin, a blood thinner; tizanidine, an anti-spasm medication; gabapentin, another nerve pain medication, bupropion, an antidepressant; omeprazole, for morning nausea; and morphine. His mother has to insert a catheter into his penis. He joins Cindy Sheehan at Camp Casey in Crawford, Texas, to protest with Iraq Veterans Against the War. His first wife leaves him.
"You know, you see a guy who's paralyzed and in a wheelchair and you think he's just in a wheelchair," he says in "Body of War." "You don't think about the, you know, the stuff inside that's paralyzed. I can't cough because my stomach muscles are paralyzed, so I can't work up the full coughing energy. I'm more susceptible to urinary tract infections, and there's a great big erection sidebar to this whole story."
In early March 2008 a blood clot in his right arm—the arm that bears a color tattoo of a character from Maurice Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are"—caused his arm to swell. He was taken to the Kansas City Veterans Affairs hospital, where he was given the blood thinner coumadin before being released. One month later, the VA took him off coumadin and soon afterward the clot migrated to one of his lungs. He suffered a massive pulmonary embolism and fell into a coma. When he awoke from the coma in the hospital he could barely speak. He had lost most of his upper-body mobility and short-term memory, and his speech was slurred significantly.
It was then that he began to experience debilitating pain in his abdomen. The hospital would not give him narcotics because such drugs slow digestion, making it harder for the bowels to function. Young could digest only soup and Jell-O. In November, in a desperate bid to halt the pain, he had his colon removed. He was fitted with a colostomy bag. The pain disappeared for a few days and then came roaring back. He could not hold down food, even pureed food, because his stomach opening had shrunk. The doctors dilated his stomach. He could eat only soup and oatmeal. Three weeks ago he had his stomach stretched again. And that was enough.
Square, Site wide
"I will go off the feeding [tube] after me and my wife's anniversary," April 20, the date on which he married Claudia in 2012. "I was married once before. It didn't end well. It was a non-amicable divorce. At first I thought I would [just] wait for my brother and his wife, my niece and my grandparents to visit me, but the one thing I will miss most in my life is my wife. I want to spend a little more time with her. I want to spend a full year with someone without the problems that plagued my previous [marriage]. I don't know how long it will take when I stop eating. If it takes too long I may take steps to quicken my departure. I have saved a bottle of liquid morphine. I can down that at one time with all my sleeping medication."
Young's room is painted a midnight blue and has a large cutout of Batman on one wall. He loved the superhero as a child because "he was a regular person who had a horrible thing happen to him and wanted to save society."
Young joined the Army immediately after 9/11 to go to Afghanistan and hunt down the people behind the attacks. He did not oppose the Afghanistan war. "In fact, if I had been injured in Afghanistan, there would be no 'Body of War' movie to begin with," he said. But he never understood the call to invade Iraq. "When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor we didn't invade China just because they looked the same," he said.
He became increasingly depressed about his impending deployment to Iraq when he was in basic training at Fort Benning, Ga. He asked the battalion doctor for antidepressants. The doctor said he had to meet first with the unit's chaplain, who told him, "I think you will be happier when you get over to Iraq and start killing Iraqis."
"I was dumbstruck by his response," Young said.
He has not decided what will be done with his ashes. He flirted with the idea of having them plowed into ground where marijuana would be planted but then wondered if anyone would want to smoke the crop. He knows there will be no clergy at the memorial service held after his death. "It will just be people reminiscing over my life," he said.
"I spend a lot of time sitting here in my bedroom, watching TV or sleeping," he said. "I have found—I don't know if it is the result of my decision or not—[it is] equally hard to be alone or to be around people. This includes my wife. I am rarely happy. Maybe it is because when I am alone all I have with me are my thoughts, and my mind is a very hazardous place to go. When I am around people I feel as if I have to put on a facade of being the happy little soldier."

THE OFFICE of President of the Western Surgical Association is one of the finest honors in our profession. For this honor, I am deeply grateful.
Gentlemen, may I invite you to consider with me our residency programs from the standpoint of where are we, where are we going, and what can we do about it?
The growth of our resident education programs has been rapid and healthy in the past two decades. This growth has been met adequately by the selective approval of volunteering institutions.
We are now facing certain trends and forces intrinsic and extrinsic to our profession that indicate we may have to reevaluate some of our methods and concepts of resident education.
Although the modern expansion of formal resident education has been since World War II, the impetus for this growth was born in 1933. The House of Delegates of the American Medical Association instructed the Council

Column about spin nothing but spin itself
Published: Monday, November 28, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 28, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: Susan Hanley Lane's Nov. 14 column about spin is a consummate example of disingenuous spin.
Joseph Wilson lied about the yellowcake issue and he continues to lie about what he lied about. His wife is not a covert agent, she is a CIA cubicle jockey at Langley. Her expertise is WMD. She is probably the only reason Wilson knew that yellowcake is not something you get at Food Lion.
As far as the "outing" being intentional retaliation against the couple, I doubt it. My suspicion is that it was an inadvertent, stupid, unintentional slip. However, hopefully the truth will eventually come out.
Concerning harming the CIA, I remember well that Jimmy Carter set CIA covert operations back about 20 years. I also remember the harm done to the CIA by the Church Committee.
I believe also, and I'm sure Lane doesn't, that the CIA works for the president and they are in some serious need of being reminded of that fact.

Unethical behaviour in procurement: A perspective on causes and solutions

* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
Enterprise management often encourages their marketing personnel to offer gifts to purchasers of clients but won't allow the purchasers of the company to accept gifts. This double standards create an atmosphere of dishonesty in the company.
When considering that purchasers fulfilling the procurement function for a company are the major spenders of company funds, and that purchasers are frequently tempted to accept gifts and prevailing double standards within the company, it is no wonder that they sometimes succumb to unethical behaviour. The purchasing environment thus creates an atmosphere conductive to unethical behaviour.
However, the cause of unethical behaviour is not necessarily the individual's lack of moral standards. Research has shown that the actions of managers, the ethical climate in the enterprise and the absence of a company policy on the matter are all contributing factors towards unethical behaviour. Unethical behaviour of purchasers and other personnel involved in procurement can therefore be prevented or limited by implementing certain measures.
This article focuses on ethics, procurement or purchasing ethics, and unethical behaviour among purchasers in general, as well as more specifically on the situation in South Africa, and makes recommendations for establishing codes of conduct, other procedures and policies for improving the situation of the purchaser in the enterprise.

This toy has provided lots of fun time for my grandson. It is durable, exciting and holds my grandson's interest for hours. He wants to collect more of these figures. This is a toy for children to enjoy and appears to be well made. It has held up through some rough play times.
My son had been wanting a set of Tenkai Knights for roughly 6 months. Santa brought them and they were exactly what he expected. He has had hours of fun with them. They transform from Knights to "blocks" that are similar to Legos. Keep in mind that these are the "mini-figurine" sets, so little fingers have to be agile enough to maneuver & transform.
My son loves these. I want to get him the entire collection
my son loves the Ionix.
Great toys and hard to find. My son loves them so much. Hours of fun.
Bought this for my 7 year old son. He loves them. Has showed them to everyone.
The only thing that was a bit disappointing was that when you purchase each of these characters separately you get a special bonus piece that when you collect all the individual characters, you can put all of them together to create one large character. When purchased as package you don't get the bonus pieces. This was not made clear in the advertising of the product. Otherwise, very happy with the product and the service Walmart provided.
really good gift for anyone with imagination
Great toy, my 5 yo son love to play with this little figures, fold them build new shapes. It is already one week and he still plying with them.
I bought this for my grandson for Christmas and he loves it. He is easily bored with things but not this. I'm so glad I found this for him. Hope they keep making more of them.

Downing Street Afterschlock: CNN Makes Good on 'Storytelling' Vow
Headline News channels regime-change facts into fiction
Help! Isn't it bad enough that the U.S. press has bungled the story of the Downing Street Memo? I mean, the estimable Walter Pincus of the Washington Post is just now digging into the details of the juicy story that Michael Smith of the Times of London broke on the weekend of May 1.
But this evening, here's CNN Headline News saying that the Downing Street Memo "suggests that the Bush administration saw the Iraq war as inevitable …"
Jesus wept.
Upcoming Events
Yeah, like Hitler saying that his invasion of Poland was inevitable.
Whoever did the rip-and-read at CNN stopped reading the memo at least a sentence too soon. Here's the relevant passage from the Downing Street Memo:

It was the "military action" that "was now seen as inevitable." Who did this "seeing"? Not the Bush administration. Memo to CNN reader of Downing Street Memo: The sentence following is "Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD."
Get it? The point of the Downing Street Memo is not that the Bush regime "saw the war as inevitable." The point is that it wanted the war and had decided that military action was going to happen—and then figure out the justification.
Last January, after Jon Klein took over CNN's U.S. operations, he vowed that CNN would do a lot more "storytelling."
That seems to be working out.

I found CodeLite (http://www.codelite.org/) is in the spirit of Dev-C++, and it is actively developed. Worth a try, I liked it.
Also, wxDev-C++ (http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/) is an updated version of Dev-C++, including nice wxWidgets WYSIWYG functionality. However, as most Open-Source Delphi projects this will not last forever (maybe unless Embarcadero is releasing a free Delphi version soon).
Mostly I prefer Code::Blocks (http://www.codeblocks.org/) over Visual C++ Express for these reasons:
a) Open Source
b) Small download, some versions run on an USB-Stick (Availability!).
c) The freedom to choose a compiler (I mostly use MinGW / GCC)
d) MinGW: OpenMP support! (Not available in VC-Express!)
e) MinGW: No additonal runtime (vcredistXXX) is required for the target computers.
f) MinGW: Standard makefiles supported.
g) MinGW: Better portability of code.
If you don't care about these points, just use MSVC++.

We have a network that is mostly separated from our corporate network. The corporate network uses ntp1.corpaddress.tdl.
We have a second server, isolated.corpaddress.tdl. It is getting its NTP time from ntp1. We want it to act as the NTP server for our clients. So it would look like:
Corpoate NTP Server -> Isolated NTP Server -> Isolated Clients
Our corporate NTP server is a stratum of 2. Our isolated NTP server is a stratum of 15 and I can't figure out why. all of the clients drop the packet because they say they fail "test 7" due to a stratum greater than 15.
The isolated server is Windows server 2008. The clients are Windows 7 machines.
Do we have our isolated windows 2008 server configured incorrectly? What should we check to make sure it has a stratum of 3?

Is the ref with leeds?
I was at the match on saturday and the ref was rubbish. for example, we had the ball and a leeds player smashed into our player. the next thing the ref giving a free kick to leeds. and i thought, from where i was sitting., that the penalty should have been a free kick. what are your thoughts?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I think these things balance out over a season, a penalty is always an unsatisfactory way to win or lose a game (ask Man U, maybe don't bother ! ) I think we(Leeds) got lucky in the second half and nicked two points. What I did not care for was Aidy Boothroyd spouting off. It shows a lack of respect and sour grapes that cannot change the result, so why belittle himself ? I can only imagine that he has no affection for the club he used to work for. Anyway, Coventry are rightfully riding high and despite his lapse, Aidy has generally always done a decent job. Good luck.

Thanks. We are flying high now and at the start of the seasone when we went second i thought we were going to drop down and down, but no. we have been doing very well this season and i think the new mascot is quite a lucky one, getting three wins in a row on his first three games.

Man At Romney Rally Wears Mindblowingly Offensive Shirt
The Getty Images photo was taken at a Romney/Ryan campaign event in Lancaster, Ohio on Friday. A Romney spokesperson commented that the shirt was "reprehensible and has no place in this election."
Update Jamie Sabau, the Getty photographer who took the photo tells BuzzFeed the photo "was taken inside the rally, not taken in line" as some have questioned.
Update 2 Jodi Einhorn, manager of public relations for Getty Images also confirms "that contributing photographer Jamie Sabau shot the image in Lancaster, OH during a rally for Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and Republican vice presidential candidate Representative Paul Ryan."

99 Vacancy, East Innis Avenue, #Columbus #Ohio
Uncommunicative, South 4th Street, #columbus #ohio
I wanted to challenge myself to take the original photo and enhance it in a way that infuses mystery, drama and curiosity. When captured, evening was fast approaching over the south side Columbus community, and it was apparent that this house was the only place inhabited within it's immediate vicinity.
Who's inside? Could the house be occupied by a long time owner economically or civically forced to stay despite the destructive environment outside? Why does the house remain closed off and uncommunicative?

"That's a pretty dog you have. What kind is it?"
"I like to refer to him as a Golden-Collie."
"Can I pet him?"
"Sure. He's friendly."
I approached her, stepped up onto the front porch of the two-family split house and was greeted with a sour blend of mold and urine. The scent of poverty. An older woman and a man on the cusp of middle age slumped forward on a porch swing next door, chain smoked cigarettes, and passed words back and forth in a strained Appalachian dialect.
"Come out here and take a look at this pretty dog!"
A boy and a girl of adolescent years appeared from behind the storm door and stared in silence at my dog. Behind them, an obscure figure of a young boy peered out at the action, but never left his place on the couch. Perhaps unimpressed by my dog's gentle demeanor or intimidated by the gentle lead wrapped around his snout like a muzzle, the adolescent boy stepped back inside to watch television while the girl proceeded outside.
"Our dog just died."
"Oh yeah? How old was he?"
"She was 10. But we have a new dog now."
Just then I realized constant high pitched barking coming from the back of the house.
"What kind of dog did you get?"
"A pit. You're dog sure is nice."
Unlike the girl, the woman in the chair never looked past the bracelet she was creating nor my dog.
"So when do you think they'll start redeveloping along Parsons? It's been a huge empty lot for over a year now."
"No one cares about the south side."
"Have you lived here long?"
"I just moved in with my boyfriend."
"Hey am I doing this right?"
The young girl looked over the bracelet, mumbled some instructions in the woman's direction, and turned to go back inside the house.
I said good bye and turned to leave, but didn't get a response. The woman leaned back in her chair, intent on finishing her bracelet.
