I was extracting an iso with Qwix and it froze while starting the transfer to xbox hdd. The folder shows up when using FlashFXP but doesn't show up in Qwix or Avalaunches File Manager, when I try to delete with FlashFXP it just says "Command Failed", if I try to rename it says "Could not rename file, Rename Failure!". I posted this at FlashFXP forums since there client is the only one showing this folder, but they say its an xbox server issue. I've been using Avalaunch and Qwix for quite awhile now and never had any problems before with transfers. No network settings on pc have been recently changed. Since, I have extracted another iso with np, so this was a one time hiccup appartently. I realize this is kinda trivial, since everything is working fine on xbox, its just annoying that FlashFXP keeps showing this folder. Any thoughts on how to delete this folder are much appreciated. Thx

Witnesses reported a disturbance earlier, but officers found no evidence of a struggle.
Witnesses told police that the man, who was in his 30s, was alone on the balcony when he fell.
The victim's name was not immediately released.

Concerned about B12?
Over a year ago
Eat an animal!
Ha ha, just kidding! Again, I have been here too long to be a troll. It's just a catchy way to get attention, ha ha. XD
Okay so real topic here is B12. People make big deals out of it.
I made a post about my B12 level was over average. Chew this gum and make wonders happen: http://www.bfreshgum.com/
Funny thing: I got a call from the doctor saying, "your b12 level is too high. if you take a supplement for it, please stop. if not, it's nothing to worry about". I thought it was funny that the doctor called me JUST to reassure I'm okay in that way XD So being vegan is possible! Woo!

Hello, just got a Nook Color recently and a few apps have worked, however there are some that only download and won't install. This is the error message I get:
"Unable to download. This item is not currently available for download to the product you are using."
I would like to cry foul on this, as it says right on the website that these apps ARE available for Nook Color. The main apps I have questions on are Flipboard and Seesmic
Once again, they download into my library, but when I try to select them to install I get the above error message. I've tried a few options, such as turning all the way off, waiting, and restarting and also logging out and back in. Also tried archiving it and unarchiving it. Any help is appreciated!
This just means your Nook OS is not on the latest version. Go to this page - http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/Software-Updates-NOOK-Color/379003190
Note: This is if you have NOOK Color.
now click on 'Get Version 1.4.3 Today'.
Then follow the steps.
AFter you've updated to the latest version your apps will all work (provided they show 'Available for Nook Color' on the product page.

I propose two solutions to funding the replacement of the Brent Spence Bridge.
First: Immediately stop any further planning of these two ODOT Eastern Corridor Projects: The proposed relocation of Ohio 32 through Newtown to a new bridge over the Little Miami, and the new freeway from that bridge to I-71. Take the $1 billion or so of savings and redirect it to replacement of the Brent Spence Bridge.
Second: Implement tolls now (only for commercial vehicles) on the existing Brent Spence Bridge (via e-tolls with no toll booths). Start saving up ASAP!

Thank you, Caryn--my mother made this too back in the early 60s and I had forgotten all about it until this weekend & suddenly wanted to find it. I didn't believe my search for "more" would do any good and bless your heart, here it is!! And, yes, it will probably make us cry, too! For everyone else, if you haven't tried it, you must! It really does make you say "more, please" - especially kids, if you go a little easy on the chili powder!
Reviewed for PAC Fall 2009. This was a relatively easy worknight meal. The first thing I want to say is this makes an ENOURMOUS amount of food! I could feed my family for the week on this! LOL. Not exactly, but it did fill my 4 quart casserole dish to the top. I did make a slight alteration, I reduced the amount of chili powder to 1 1/2 tablespoons. I knew my family would not eat it if I put the full amount in. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly (even the mushrooms, which I ate 1 :-(. My son said there were too many veggies in it. (He's a veggie hater)! I liked it. Can't say I loved it, but I liked. Depending on how it reheats (for my nightworking hubby), will determine whether it goes on the rotation. Thanks for posting

A member of the South Carolina Highway Patrol was pulled over Wednesday night by members of his agency and charged with DUI.
News Channel 7 reported that Leslie C. Hoover, 55, of Lexington County was stopped on I-26 near John Dodd Road after a concerned motorist reported a car swerving.
A citation issued to Hoover, of 140 Fox St., Gilbert states that he was traveling in a personal vehicle, a 1999 Isuzu, Wednesday evening. The citation states the time of the violation was 7:08 p.m.
The station reported that Hoover failed a field sobriety test, and that South Carolina Public Safety has taken steps to terminate Hoover.
The citation notes that Hoover refused to take a breath test. If convicted, Hoover will have his license suspended for six months under the more stringent DUI laws that went into effect Feb. 10.

Thurgood Marshall Jones, Jr. is one of the hottest pianist/vocalist and music producers currently residing in Atlanta, Ga.!! Coming from a rich musical background, Thurgood drew his first standing ovation as a vocalist at age 4 singing "O' Happy Day" for his family's church anniversary!! He began to take piano lessons that same year from his father and paternal grandmother(a classical pianist from Clark Atlanta University). By age 14, he was already composing his own music and ministering music for several churches in the Atlanta area. At 17, he met and became a student of his musical mentor Walter Michael(former Motown musician and owner of The Los Angeles Academy of Music).
At L.A. Academy, Thurgood was groomed to perform, instruct, and minister music more effectively and professionally. At 18, he started producing and recording his original works along with collaborations with various other local artist. He has produced music in all genres - from blues/country to techno, and all letters in between!
In more recent years, T.J. (as he is called by those close to him) has made a reputation as one of the best piano/vocal instuctors in Atlanta and has been a member of the Fulton County Arts and Culture since year 2000 and has instucted at 3 of the 5 perfoming arts theatres in the city.In 2006, he created his own instuction company called H.O.M.(House of Music) where he teaches piano, drumming, and vocals.
The same year he also formed his own record label called SideShow Records. "STATE OF THE WORLD" is the first album/cd released from his label(APRIL 21,2012). This album is a culmination of all the years T.J. spent laboring to become the best composer, musician, and producer possible!! A fusion of all styles and artistry, the album has a natural "feelgood' vibe!!
If you know or heard of T.J., all of this goes without saying! If you haven't heard him, you will!!

Daniel Miller: Is this Heaven?
Bob Diamond: No, it isn't Heaven.
Daniel Miller: Is it Hell?
Bob Diamond: Nope, it isn't Hell either. Actually, there is no Hell. Although I hear Los Angeles is getting pretty close.A 1991 fantasy Romantic Comedy written/directed by/starring Albert Brooks and co-starring Meryl Streep.Daniel Miller (Albert Brooks) dies in a car wreck and finds himself in a very Earth-like purgatory called Judgement City. Here, he is given a defense attorney, Bob Diamond (Rip Torn), and Bob will have to defend Daniel's life by presenting Daniel's past in a trial over whether or not Daniel can Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence or if he should be sent back to face his fears. Daniel then meets Julia (Meryl Streep, no last name given), who led a loving and fulfilling life, but died an untimely death. Julia and Daniel quickly hit it off, but while Daniel asserts he has no more fears and he's ready to move on, his romance with Julia begins raising some doubts...
This film provides examples of:
- Actually Pretty Funny: Daniel manages to make his judges chuckle and smile at his jokes, proving as Julia says that humor has no relation to brain size.
- Adult Fear: What the tests are really about.
- Afterlife Antechamber: Judgment City, which tries so hard to be like Earth that it has suggestion boxes. If you pass Judgment, Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence. If you fail, you get sent back.
- Afterlife Express: In the form of studio tour buses.
- Alien Lunch: The "food" the big brains eat.
- Angst? What Angst?: Invoked and justified in the film. Julia remarks that even though she should be devastated that she can't see her two children again, she feels alright about it, then says that the people who run Judgment City do that to all the recent dead so they can focus on their trials, rather than dwell on the people they left behind.
- Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: The ultimate goal of the people of Judgment City.
- Big Eater: Julia. As she explains, you can eat all you like and never get fat? Time to chow down on everything.
- Bigger Is Better: "I just got through a world filled with penis envy, now one with brain envy!"
- The Cameo: Shirley MacLaine.Offscreen woman: OH MY GOD!note
- Celestial Bureaucracy: In order to move on, the deceased must win a trial over whether or not they're worthy to continue. They are given a defense lawyer, face off against prosecutors, and are judged by what look like average court judges. There are two exceptions: children and teenagers. Children automatically go on for being innocent, while teens are too much trouble to keep around and get to another place that can handle them.
- Cessation of Existence: Briefly mentioned by Bob, who says that anybody who doesn't eventually learn is "thrown away," but there are people who get reincarnated hundreds of times.
- Comfort Food: Because Judgement City is an Afterlife Antechamber, residents can eat as much as they want and never gain weight, and given the trial, they'll need as much of it as they can get.
- Dead to Begin With
- Deadpan Snarker: Daniel, and occasionally Bob.
- Died Happily Ever After: Assuming you win the trial, otherwise you start over.
- Dying Alone: Julia, when she did die: all of her friends went out of town and she stayed back to go swimming. Then she tripped over a lounge chair and into the pool, drowning even when she'd been a good swimmer.note
- Ending Type: Earn Your Happy Ending.
- Face Your Fears:
- The primary goal of the deceased. Daniel faces several of his at once on the bus back to getting reincarnated by hopping off and running all the way to Julia's bus.
- Bonus points in that one of the Game Shows in Judgment City is called "Face Your Fear".
- Fantastic Racism: Typical humans use less then seven percent of their brain. The term "little brain" is bandied about in the same deprecating way that racial slurs are used in our world right down to the stand-up comic making "little brain" jokes and then complaining that the audience isn't bright enough to understand them because they're "little brains".
- Food Porn: Since they're the absolute zenith of food, the dishes that are shown are mouthwatering.
- A Form You Are Comfortable With: Everything about Judgment City is designed to be familiar to the residents of the West Coast, including the city itself, which is Century City itself.
- Handwave / A Wizard Did It: In-universe, whenever Daniel is amazed at the Residents knowing things they shouldn't, they essentially say "Big brains, remember?"
- Have You Seen My God?: Despite living in the Afterlife, no one there knows if God exists or not.
- Insistent Terminology / Immediate Self-Contradiction: All the staff of Judgment City insist repeatedly that the proceedings for each deceased are not a "trial." What exactly the proceedings are, that involve a courtroom, judges, prosecution, defense counsel, opening statements, cross-examination, and closing statements, but are not a trial, is never revealed.Daniel: Oh my God! So I'm on trial for being afraid!Mr. Diamond: First, we don't like to call it a trial. Second, yes.
- It Will Never Catch On: One of the flashbacks shown during Daniel's hearing shows him being offered a chance to invest money in Casio when the company was getting ready to go public and the stock was dirt cheap. Daniel laughed at the thought of the Japanese making wristwatches.
- Nausea Fuel: Resident food makes little-brains throw up.
- Nice Guy: Daniel. He even allows a senile old woman to talk his ear off about her pet, even though she asks him the same questions at least three times.
- 90% of Your Brain: Daniel's defense attorney Bob says he uses 48% of his, while Daniel can only use 3%. The higher-ups nickname the deceased "little brains." Daniel is actually embarrassed about it ("My God, I'm the dunce of the Universe!"), but Bob assures him it's normal for those that haven't moved on to be at such a level.
- No Name Given: Julia's last name. Lampshaded in the climax.Daniel: I tried to call you, but I didn't know your last name.
- Noodle Incident: Bob and Lena really don't like each other, even given the ending. Bob perks up when he learns Lena "lost last Thursday".
- Not So Above It All: Despite having Ascended to a Higher Plane of Existence, the Residents can be awfully petty and annoyed. Bob mutters at one employee that it's nice that he finally showed up for work, and almost giggles when he finds out Lena lost her last case. Daniel is worried when he finds out the two have been feuding.
- One Steve Limit: An aversion that's actually a plot point when Daniel realizes he never found out Julia's last name.
- Race for Your Love: In the film's climax, Daniel and Julia are put on busses: Daniel's bus is going to back to Earth while Julia's is going to the next phase of existence. When Julia calls out for Daniel, he finally faces his fear, escapes the bus, and catches up to her while the bus is in motion, only to find the door is locked. The judges find it so moving they let him on with her.
- Reincarnation: If you are flawed or still contain fears from your previous lives, you are sent right back.
- Secret Test of Character: All those days Daniel was going through? They were intentionally to put pressure on him to see if he would crack. He nearly did, even admitting outright he was afraid to be in a relationship with Julia because he felt he wouldn't be moving on with her. The actual days had almost no bearing on Daniel's judgment. Instead, proving he would risk everything to be with Julia proved he'd conquered his fears.
- So Unfunny, It's Funny: The standup comedian.Comedian: Hi, how did you die?Daniel: On stage, like you!
- Star-Crossed Lovers: The kindhearted, loving Julia (who will most likely be moved on) and the fearful, neurotic Daniel (who will most likely go back to Earth).
- Stiff Upper Lip / Stepford Smiler: Daniel seems to be angst-ridden but taking it all in stride.
- Suspiciously Apropos Music: "Around the corner, something big is coming! Come to me!" (cue Daniel screaming as the big thing around the corner comes to him)
- Teens Are Monsters: They are sent to a different area for judgment.Daniel: What about teenagers?Bob: Too much trouble. They go elsewhere. We tried for a while, but they damage the tupas. Too rowdy.
- Too Good for This Sinful Earth: Julia, who died by tripping into her pool.
- Undignified Death: Julia's death: she tripped into her pool.Daniel: What did the East German judge give you?
- Unreliable Narrator: Nothing Bob or Lena say can be truly trusted. They all work for the Universe, and while Bob and Lena don't like each other, it's implied he and Lena collaborated to make Daniel frustrated and nervous about his fate as a Secret Test of Character. Lena is genuinely happy to see Daniel move on at the climax.
- Xanatos Gambit: It's strongly hinted that the review itself was a test for Daniel, to try to humiliate him and see if he still had the courage after all their abuse to still bravely declare his love for Julia, even though they weren't going to be going to the same place.
This theory is supported by the number of days Daniel is scheduled to review - nine - which is pointed out numerous times throughout the movie. If you don't count direct rebuttal scenes, the trial looks at eight days from Daniel's life on Earth (The schoolyard bully, the classmate losing his paint supplies, the Casio stock tip, the salary negotiation, the public speaking engagement, the snowmobile, Lena's "bad decision" montage and the ticket to Hong Kong.) Day 9 is the unexpected review of his final conversation in the hotel with Julia. The climactic tram scene is Daniel's unintentional "rebuttal" to Day 9, which is observed by the re-assembled participants of the trial.
- Your Mind Makes It Real: It's implied that the food in Judgment City is whatever the eater believes it to be.

Innovative Techniques for Missile Defense - Proportional Hot Gas Actuator for DACS

AbstractA key component of missile interceptor vehicles is the divert and attitude control system (DACS), which is responsible for maneuvering the interceptor vehicle to its target. A vital component to the DACS is the thruster, which provides effective control of vehicle divert. Solid propellant DACS thrusters employ an adjustable pintle for controlling the thrust level. Movement of the pintle for smooth operation is typically accomplished with electro-mechanical (EM) actuators that require a significant portion of the total vehicle power. As the DAC thrust duration requirements increase, the power needs for EM actuation severely impedes meeting weight and size requirements. The focus of this effort is to minimize the electrical power requirements of the DACS by utilizing a small portion of energy from the solid propellant motor. The proposed innovative technique utilizes hot gases from the gas generator to drive the pintle actuation in a proportional mode. The Phase II effort will demonstrate a prototype hot gas actuator in relevant environment, which will verify the drastically reduced electrical power requirements for DACS for interceptor vehicles. Hence, the weight, size, and cost of the interceptor vehicles will be significantly reduce, and provide a more reliable and effective ballistic missile defense system.

LifeWay Christian Resources announced Wednesday that the removal of a large bronze statue of the Rev. Billy Graham from its Tennessee headquarters to its new home at Ridgecrest Baptist Conference Center in North Carolina has been delayed due to unforeseen circumstances.
In an "editor's note" on LifeWay's newsroom page, the organization explained: "LifeWay has delayed the removal of the Billy Graham statue because it was attached to the ground differently than expected. A new date has not yet been set," read the note.
In April 2006, the Graham statue was unveiled at the Southern Baptist Convention's annual meeting in Greensboro, North Carolina. more >>
The United States' largest Protestant denomination lost approximately 204,000 members in 2015, according to recently released statistics.
LifeWay Christian Resources released the Annual Church Profile statistics Tuesday, which tracked among other things the SBC's total membership, worship attendance, and number of congregations.
Total membership in the SBC in 2015 was approximately 15.294 million, which is a decrease from the approximately 15.499 million reported in 2014. This represents a 1.32 percent decrease. more >>
A survey of American pastors belonging to various Protestant denominations has found a diverse array of opinions on how the End Times will unfold.
In recently released data by LifeWay Research sponsored by Charisma House Book Group, details about how Jesus will return are uniform among Protestant pastors. The major areas of disagreement center on the nature of the rapture, including when and how literal it will be, the nature of the Antichrist, and the nature and timing of Christ's thousand-year reign.
"One in 4 pastors say the rapture is not literal. Almost 1 in 5 thinks the rapture happens after the tribulation (18 percent)," wrote Bob Smietana for LifeWay. more >>
For many Christians, suicide is a taboo act that will keep a believer out of Heaven. Known by many as the "unforgivable sin," it's a complicated issue that's been widely neglected from theological discussion within the Church.
In a portion of his new book Unanswered, a volume intended to shed light on several hot-button topics that loom large within the Church, apologist and New Testament scholar Dr. Jeremiah Johnston debunks misconceptions about suicide and mental illness — two issues secretly plaguing today's Church.
"Twenty-three percent of pastors right now, according to a reliable LifeWay study, are chronically depressed," Johnston told The Christian Post last week. more >>
Just four percent of American pastors say that they are planning to vote for Republican billionaire Donald Trump for president.
The Nashville-based Christian research organization LifeWay conducted a survey to gauge how pastors are likely to vote in the upcoming 2016 presidential election. LifeWay researchers conducted phone interviews with over 1,000 senior pastors, priests and ministers from various Protestant churches all over the United States during a two-week time span in January.
As headlines in the media and even Trump's statements make it seem that like real estate mogul is having large success gaining the support of evangelical voters, LifeWay's survey was released Tuesday and shows that although Trump might be successful in attracting some self-identified Evangelicals, his message is failing to win over members of the clergy. more >>
Researchers should define Evangelicals by their beliefs, not by their political demographics, the church they attend or what they self-identify as, the National Association of Evangelicals, LifeWay Research and a group of sociologists, theologians and Evangelical leaders have determined.
After a two-year collaboration, NAE and the Christian research organization LifeWay Research have developed a standard definition for what it means to be an Evangelical.
Tired of numerous surveys and polls holding inconsistent definitions of what they consider to be Evangelicals, NAE announced Thursday that its board of directors adopted an "Evangelical beliefs research definition" at its Oct. 15 meeting in hopes it will lead to researchers using an accurate definition to define Evangelicals. more >>

Who doesnt love a good t-shirt? I know I do. ESPN recently published some of the t-shirt slogans that didnt make the cut in the MLB online team shops.

After years of holding out against equal prize money, Wimbledon yielded to public pressure yesterday and agreed to pay female players as much as male players at the world's most prestigious tennis tournament.
"Tennis is one of the few sports in which women and men compete in the same event at the same time," club chairman Tim Phillips said at a news conference. "We believe our decision to offer equal prize money provides a boost for the game as a whole and recognizes the enormous contribution that women players make to the game and to Wimbledon. In short, good for tennis, good for women players and good for Wimbledon."
Last year, men's champion Roger Federer received $1.170 million and women's winner Amelie Mauresmo got $1.117 million.
Among those welcoming the move was former six-time singles champion Billie Jean King, a pioneer for women's sports. "This news has been a long time coming," she said. "Wimbledon is one of the most respected events in all of sports and now with women and men paid on an equal scale, it demonstrates to the rest of the world that this is the right thing to do for the sport, the tournament and the world."

High school volleyball: 2013 Deseret News MVPs possessed more than talent in leading their teams
"Her parents are from North Sanpete, and I knew who they were," Bailey said. "I was kind of a little embarrassed because our program wasn't great, but I knew the whole team was very athletic."
And when it came to the kid from Mt. Pleasant, Jessie Jorgensen, Bailey knew the first day she saw her play with the T-Birds that she would help change the program.
"She elevated the whole program," Bailey said. "She brought an intensity to practice. We knew we were going to have something special."
Bailey said she told her players she didn't want a ball to ever hit the ground during practice.
"But no one really thought they could get every ball up," she said. "I told them, 'You never know until you try.'"
Jorgensen dove for everything. And eventually, she started getting some of those hopeless balls back in play.
"Then the girls started thinking, 'Hey, we can really go for those and we might get them,'" Bailey said. "She just dedicated herself to every play, every ball."
Jorgensen ran a potent offense with precision and confidence. She led the T-Birds to the 4A state title without losing a set and finished the season with 478 assists, 275 digs and 197 kills. She also had 61 aces and 55 blocks. She maintains a 3.93 GPA, is involved in numerous volunteer organizations, and was named the Gatorade Volleyball Player of the Year last week. She's signed with the University of Utah.
"It is just fun to watch her play," Bailey said. "She is one of those players who makes you want to play volleyball."
Class 4A All-State volleyball teams
Malary Reid, Hurricane
Malary Reid moved to a new school her senior year after spending her junior season sidelined with a knee injury.
Her first few practices with her new coach were less than impressive.
"She was trying to adjust and to learn the speed of the game the way we like to play," said Hurricane head coach Daniel McKeehan. "When we went and played at the Lone Peak Tournament, against Idaho, she had 15 kills. And that's when, all of a sudden, it clicked for her. After that, she was absolutely dominant with that quick set."
Reid's most impressive stat is her hitting percentage — a state-leading .447 percent.
Her play in the middle gave the Tigers versatility that made them very difficult to defend. Her hitting, in particular, was tough to read because of a little quirk in her swing, McKeehan said.
"She naturally turns the ball back to the setter," he said, noting that she has learned to make adjustments and change where she hits at will. "But that really helped her confidence seeing balls go down and down and down."
She's also a track athlete, which helps with her athleticism.
"She jumps extremely well," McKeehan said. "She's so strong, just a really strong kid."
Reid finished with 175 kills in leading the Tigers to a second-place finish in region play and a 3A state title. It was in the final state tournament game that Hurricane swept Region 9 champion Desert Hills, a team the Tigers had lost to three times this season.
"Teams started triple blocking here, which opened things up for our other hitters," McKeehan said. "She's quiet, unassuming and doesn't ever want to be in the spotlight. Malary is such a nice kid, and we have the world's nicest girls, so they welcomed her right in. She had best friends instantly. ... She was big in the middle for us."

China To Send More Ships To Evacuate Its Citizens From Vietnam
China says it plans to send five more ships in an effort to evacuate its citizens from Vietnam, where anti-Chinese protests have turned violent.
Reporting from Shanghai, NPR's Frank Langfitt tells our Newscast unit that Vietnamese authorities broke up another protest planned for today. He filed this report:
"At least one passenger ship has already sailed from Ch's far southern province of Hainan to Vietnam, according to the New China News Service.
"Last week, 3,000 Chinese nationals were evacuated from Vietnam, according to China's foreign ministry.
"They fled mass riots that left two Chinese dead and more than 100 injured, according to China's government.
"The riots were triggered by an oil drilling rig China moved into Vietnam's exclusive economic zone and subsequent clashes between Chinese and Vietnamese ships.
"China's move is widely seen in the region as part of a long-term strategy for establishing dominance in the crucial South China Sea, where the U.S. Navy ensured peace for decades."
As the protests kicked off, the Vietnamese government appears to have sanctioned them.
But, the BBC reports, in recent days, 15 foreign-owned factories have been set on fire, which worried Vietnamese authorities because "Hanoi depends heavily on foreign investment for economic growth."
China, as you might expect, is saying Vietnam has failed "to respond effectively to curb an escalation."
If you're interested in more background, The Washington Post has a historical look at the Sino-Vietnamese relationship.

Hello, and thanks for a great theme!
I'm quite new to this so try to bear with me. I have trouble getting the thumbnails for my post excerpt to show correctly. My goal is to only have a small thumbnail (150x150) to show in the post excerpt, but whatever I do a large version of the post's "featured image" is always visible above the post title. I can't get rid of it without deleting the featured image.
Is there a simple way to configure this? I.e. make the post's featured image to only show as a small tumbnail in the post excerpt and nowehere else? Thanks again for a great theme.

Error in artice? / Do not watch if you like having unexploded eyeballs.[edit]
1. Rant: This movie sucks more than an atomic Hoover. Why do people like Frankie Muniz? He's ugly, annoying and his acting isn't just bad, it's not valid. Frankie Muniz's acting is an optical illusion.
2. Non-rant: are the references to 'moonlighters' and 'moonlight alcohol' erroneous substitutions for the more commonly accepted term for bootleg alcohol, moonshine? And, on the topic, I really suspect that you would need significantly more potent drugs than moonshine to enjoy this movie.
3. Don't even get me started on Kevin Bacon. I swear he has a pork-based name just to make ham jokes too cheap to be worth making. Maybe his birth name was Hugh Nfrom Oak.
thanks for listening,
Captain Schnitz.
Erroneous sentence[edit]
Exactly why is it important to know why Adam 'Skip' Dhalgren starred in this movie when no such person even exists? And definitely acts better than Frankie Muniz? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 01:41, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

I have a computer A with two directory trees. The first directory contains the original mod dates that span back several years. The second directory is a copy of the first with a few additional files. There is a second computer be which contains a directory tree which is the same as the second directory on computer A (new mod times and additional files). How update the files in the two newer directories on both machines so that the mod times on the files are the same as the original? Note that these directory trees are in the order of 10s of gigabytes so the solution would have to include some method of sending only the date information to the second computer.
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.
The following command will make sure that TEST2 gets the same date assigned that TEST1 has
Now instead of using hard-coded values here, you could find the files using "find" utility and then run touch via SSH on the remote machine. However, that means you may have to enter the password for each file, unless you switch SSH to cert authentication. I'd rather not do it all in a super fancy one-liner. Instead let's work with temp files. First go to the directory in question and run a find (you can filter by file type, size, extension, whatever pleases you, see "man find" for details. I'm just filtering by type file here to exclude any directories):
Now we have a file that looks like this (in my example there are only two entries there):
Now just copy the file over to the other machine and place it in the directory (so the relative file paths match) and apply the dates:
Will also work with file names containing spaces.
One note: I used the last "modification" date at stat, as that's what you wrote in the question. However, it rather sounds as if you want to use the "creation" date (every file has a creation date, last modification date and last access date), you need to alter the stat call a bit.
However, touch can only change the modification time and access time, I think it can't change the creation time of a file ... so if that was your real intention, my solution might be sub-optimal... but in that case your question was as well ;-)
The answer by Paul is partly correct,
I would go through all the files in the source directory tree and gather the modification times from them into a script that I could run on the other directory trees. You will need to be careful about a few 'gotchas'. First, make sure that your output script has relative paths, and make sure you run it from the proper target directory, which should be the root directory of the target tree. Also, when changing machines make sure you are using the same timezone as you were on the machine where you generated the script.
Here's a Perl script I put together that will output the
The other approach you could try is to attach the remote directory using NFS and then copy the times using
I think rsync (with the right options) will do this - it claims to only send file differences, so presumably will work out that there are no differences to be transferred.
--times preserves the modification times, which is what you want.
See (for instance) http://linux.die.net/man/1/rsync
Also add -I, --ignore-times don't skip files that match size and time
so that all files are "transferred' and trust to rsync's file differences optimisation to make it "fairly efficient" - see excerpt from the man page below.
I used the following Python scripts instead.
Python scripts run much faster than an approach creating new processes for each file (like using
Usage: in the first directory (the original) run
Then in the second directory (a copy of the original, possibly with some files modified/added/deleted) run something like this:

Powered by a giant "what if?" Resistance is an
unexpectedly suspenseful meditation on the ways the schisms of war can break
down when reduced to the human element, isolated from the larger machine. With
finely detailed prose and compassionate narration, Owen Sheers shapes an unusual
war novel, almost completely removed from violence and political struggles, yet
no less terrifying.
When the women in a remote Welsh valley wake to find their men gone without a trace, and a handful of German soldiers arrive days later on a mysterious mission, the tiny farming community is thrown into a state of suspended animation as a brutal winter descends, forcing the women to form a tentative alliance with the soldiers in order to survive. Mysteries abound, as the fate of the disappeared Welsh men is unknown, and the purpose of the German soldiers is unclear. As the war wages on...

Compensating the Acoustical Loading of Small Loudspeakers Mounted Near Desktops
In professional audio applications, small loudspeakers are often mounted on or near (within the loudspeaker 's near field region) large solid surfaces, such as mixing consoles, desktops and work surfaces. In approximately two-thirds of loudspeakers mounted in such a fashion, the magnitude response is compromised in a predictable and systematic way. An upward deviation of peak value 5.0dB ±1.5dB centred on 141Hz ±31Hz was observable in approximately 80% of the cases studied. An additional Room Response Control in active loudspeakers is proposed to compensate for this aberration. A statistical analysis of 89 near-field loudspeakers helps define the correction filter, and quantifies the effectiveness of the fixed filter design. Use of the proposed filter in an automated response optimisation algorithm for in-situ response equalisation is demonstrated.

I made these based on a couple different designs here on LJs. The top is a mitered frame with a rabbet to receive a 12" floor tile (glued down with construction adhesive). The tiles themselves look like slate. They came from the HD- Folkstone Atlantic Beach to be exact. The top and the legs are solid red oak. The rest of the pieces are scrap oak plywood to keep costs down. Pocket screws were used for the joinery. The finish is two coats of tung oil.

It looks like Brett Favre will no longer be a Packer.
Unless everything changes. Again. For the hundredth time.
At the moment, though, Favre and the Packers' brass seem to have come to one agreement: Too many bridges have been burned between the two parties, and Ryan Grant, Donald Driver, Greg Jennings, James Jones and Donald Lee will have to rely on someone other than Favre (presumably Aaron Rodgers) to uphold their impressive fantasy values. Favre would still like to be traded to either Minnesota or Chicago, but the Packers won't accede.
So where does that leave Favre's fantasy value? What if you're holding your fantasy football draft tonight? What should you do with the gray-bearded one?
At this point, it seems as though there are two likely alternatives: Favre gets traded to the Buccaneers or the Jets. In either scenario, on paper at least, he won't have the offensive weaponry he did in Green Bay, and clearly his comfort factor will decrease. But we have to remember that despite his age (he turns 39 in October), Favre is coming off a 4,155-yard passing season (third-highest of his 16-year career) in which he threw 28 touchdowns and 15 interceptions (tied for his lowest pick total in 11 seasons). He may still have a lot of downside as an erratic gunslinger, and a new team could very well bring that out in him as he tries to "do too much," but as a starting NFL quarterback, Favre is a fantasy factor.
If Favre goes to Tampa, he reunites with a former quarterbacks coach, Jon Gruden. While Gruden's offensive scheme is more of a "traditional" West Coast offense (compared to the more deep-threat-oriented flavor Green Bay has run of late), Favre would be relatively familiar with the Bucs' terminology and play-calling. He'd have Joey Galloway as his deep threat and top receiver, with kind of a mess still sorting itself out in the rest of the receiving corps. He'd have an excellent run-blocking offensive line that sometimes struggled to protect the passer last year, though new center Jeff Faine could help that a bit. In Tampa Bay, Favre would probably be on the borderline as a fantasy starter -- somewhere in the 12-14 range among quarterbacks -- mainly because of the uncertainty surrounding the move. He'd clearly have quite a bit of upside.
With the Jets, Favre would have to get acclimated quickly to a different sort of playbook: Brian Schottenheimer is cut from his dad's more conservative cloth. Now, that's not to say the Jets would immediately make Favre give up his swashbuckling license; the only reason you'd trade for No. 4 would be to "make a run" at a title, and Favre is still a good improviser. But a transition to the Jets probably wouldn't be as smooth as a transition to the Bucs. However, with the additions of Alan Faneca and Damien Woody (Faneca more than Woody, of course), the New York offensive line has a chance to be vastly improved. Laveranues Coles and Jerricho Cotchery represent an established set of aerial targets, and Thomas Jones figures to rebound from a mediocre '07. In New York, Favre also would deserve to be on the borderline of fantasy starter-hood: maybe in the 13-15 range, with that same prodigious upside.

I cannot seem to get either the new shortcode or the old version to work any longer.
Could it be because you're running a really old version of WordPress?
Have you considered upgrading?
Same here.
I'm using WP 3.5 and Blogroll Links 2.3.
I was able to get it working again by downgrading the plugin to version 2.2.
Thanks echuter,
I downgraded and everything back to normal. I may try and dig into why. If I get anything usable, I will post it here.
My client's plugin stopped working as well. I was able to find this issue:
Line 160:
$sql = sprintf("SELECT term_id FROM wp_terms WHERE slug = '%s' LIMIT 1", $category_slug);
Her table had a DIFFERENT PREFIX. By putting in the correct table name for the 'wp_terms' table, the plugin began working correctly again.
Hope this helps!

Greetings. Sorry if this is a bit off topic for a Plugins and Hacks forum, but it as I am looking to make WordPress play nice with a GPL Forum, I thought that the code tweaking people who frequent this section would be the best to advise me.
So, it's a simple question really: which GPL forum do y'all like?
PHPbb looks very nice to me, and I like they're philosophy and the look of the forum. However, before I go in deep and customize their CSS to fit my site, maybe some of you who have used PHPbb with WordPress have some comments.
This forum runs on Minibb, so I wouldn't be surprised if there are advocates for it as well. I want a robust forum with a pleasant interface, features that are totally customizable (I would want to turn off a lot of extraneous shit!), and free, free, free. Any other forum recomendations and pro/con discussions would be also very welcome. What about WordPress plugins that make integration a cinch?
Thanks in advance!

Word-for-word, this was the phone message left on my answering machine. It was a gruff sounding voice, like a cross between a grizzly bear and someone who had lived in the South so long that their accent had fermented and taken on complex subtle hints of apple, walnuts, motor oil and dirt. This is what I heard:
Hello, my name is Calvin Johnson and I've been trying to reach Scott Thompson (my brother) for so damn long. He never answers the phone and I'm trying to reach him because I've got this vintage motorcycle. It's still in its box. I think it's a 1955 British some-kind-of-a-G*****n motorcycle. And I understand he's interested and I want to get rid of it. I'm willing to give it away, but he never checks his phone, he never gets his messages. So I understand you're his brother, so will you please tell him if he wants this motorcycle, it's still in the box, it's all shiny looking and it's all new and it looks goooo-ddd. He can have it if he wants it, he just needs to come and get it! Tell him to give me a call. My number is (repeats my phone number) No, that's not it. That's the number I just called. I'm a silly boy! The number is (gives a new number). Get on that boy! Tell him to call me up. See ya, bye."
So I hear this -- remember, think grizzly bear with a Southern accent, but also add in unstable and partly angry -- and I start flipping out. I'm boarding up the windows and the doors. I'm thinking this guy is going to come for me all because my brother -- a vintage bike nut -- and his inferior genes have been blowing him off. He blows everybody off. He never answers his phone, and often people come searching me out to get in touch with him. They must think we're some kind of mafia: "I'll see about getting that message to Don Scott, but I can't promise anything as he's gone underground. I'll leave a note in a tin of espresso on the corner of his street and on the first full moon "
Why my brother and his wife even have an answering machine is beyond me. About the only time they ever check it is if they accidentally hit the play button while chasing one of their three dogs who is eating one of their shoes.
On even rarer occasions, they hear a message and actually return the call. Only thing is, they don't realize it's like 17 weeks too late.
So he calls up to say, "Hey, I just got Nancy's message that you impaled yourself on the roof and need me to come over to carry you down. I'll be right over!"
Don't bother. Seventeen weeks ago I was impaled by some metal on the roof, but it has since rusted through and freed me. If you also got my messages about being hit by a truck and left in the road or that I was trampled by a moose, go ahead and disregard those, too.
Check your messages!
I called my brother up when I got the Southern grizzly's message. "Why don't you check your machine so crazy people like this don't have to call me?"
"Well," he said rather matter-of-factly, "if you don't want to talk with someone crazy like that, what makes you think I do?"
My brother belongs to the Church of Fuzzy Logic.
"Call him back, else I'm going to have to move out of the country. I'll need to get an elephant gun. I'll need to change my number or stop checking MY messages. Call him up!"
A day or so later, he phoned me at work. "Is this the guy who called you?" he asked before playing a message from the same guy over the phone.
"Yes!" I told him. "That's the whack job. You've got to call him back. I think he wants to kill me!"
"Brian," he said calm as can be, "that was dad."
