It's not as if Batman had a sister whom he adored who decided to join the dark side, and in the next film years later she's already one of his worst enemies and is trying to kill him, and we don't even know what exactly happened that caused that transition. It's not like secondary characters like Alfred and Gordon were dropped because the new film had no use for them.
If the next X-Men film jumps ten years ahead, all the dramatic events in First Class will have lost their meaning. We'll never get to see the transition and all the major changes that happened to the three main characters. I can't think of a worst scenario for a sequel. Was there a 10-year gap between X-Men and X2? No, we saw the main characters changing/evolving!
I just wish Fox was honest about dropping First Class and its universe for good, if they wanted so much to make a X4.
I think you're definitely being crazy clouded with bias here. You say there was clear development in the three Batman movies and do you know why you know that?? BECAUSE YOU SAW THE THE FILM AND ARE SAYING THAT NOW. DOFP hasn't even shot a single scene or released any plot info.
In TDK, the movie ended with Batman losing the love of his life. And the TDKR picks up 8 years after this life-altering event. It's exactly the same kind of situation. It's only one thing (Xavier has a few more major developments), but it's significant nonetheless.
And now FOX lied. WOW. Is it really their job to make the sequel exactly how you want it? They need to make sure they only continue the story right after the events of FC and nothing else? They are making DOFP. You're complaining even though IT IS A SEQUEL TO FC... it just happens to also be a continuation of X3.

SHELBYVILLE, Tennessee. – Two escaped inmates sought in the murder of two guards at a Georgia prison bus were caught Thursday after a chase and is held at gunpoint by a rural Tennessee homeowner's vehicle, which they tried to steal, authorities said.
Donnie Rowe, and Ricky Dubose were held in the rural community of Christiana, Tennessee, the end of a multi-state manhunt that began Tuesday morning.
"True courage is what caused us to stand before you tonight to speak about a successful catch instead of a tragic incident," Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Director Mark Gwyn said at a press conference. "So I'm extremely grateful for everyone that is involved."
Earlier in the day, the police near Shelbyville had responded to a call about a home invasion where a couple was held captive, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Nelly Miles said.
The suspects fled in the couple's car and shot at police officers behind the facts on Interstate 24, about 50 km south-east of Nashville, Tennessee Highway Patrol spokesman Lt. Bill Miller said. Rutherford County Sheriff Michael Fitzhugh said that his deputies have no fire and none of them injured.
Rowe and Dubose crashed the car and saved, walk in the woods, Miller said. They then came in a home-set back on a long driveway.
The soldier said the homeowner looked outside and saw the two allegedly trying to steal his car. The man held the two at gunpoint with a neighbour he called for help, until the sheriff's department could get there the arrest of the refugees.
The two were held in the Rutherford County jail.
Georgia Department of Corrections Commissioner Greg Dozier said in a press release that he was pleased with the two prisoners had been captured and no longer a threat to the public.
"They will be tried soon for their heinous crime against our officers," he said, also expressing gratitude to all the officials of the law enforcement support and assistance in the search for the two men.
Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal applauded the "tireless efforts" of law enforcement, but also his thoughts to the families of the two officers, saying their pain continues.
"We will do everything in our power to support their loved ones, and we will not forget their sacrifice and service," Deal said.
Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokesman Josh DeVine said the bureau agents to take part in the processing of the scene.
The two men were on the run since the beginning of the Tuesday, when they are accused of the killing of Sgt. Christopher, Monica, and Sgt. Curtis Billue.
The two inmates overpowered and disarmed the guards on a bus at approximately 6:45 a.m. Tuesday, 33 of the prisoners were driven between prisons, the authorities said. One of them fatally shot the two guards, and then they jumped off the bus and carjacked a driver, who happened to pull up behind them on a highway 16 in Putnam County, southeast of Atlanta, authorities said.
The two prisoners then fled in the stolen Honda Civic and drove about 25 miles (40 kilometers) north of Madison, where they robbed a house, stealing food and clothing and leaving their jail uniforms behind around 10:30 pm on Tuesday.
Late Tuesday night, about 12 hours after the home burglary, the couple stole a Ford pick-up truck from a rock quarry about 9 miles (14.5 km) from the burglarized home when the trail had gone cold.
The FBI announced that a tip line and said pictures of the men and information about a $ 130,000 reward would appear on billboards in multiple states. TBI Gwyn said Thursday that he was not sure who would collect the reward.
The authorities have warned that the men, who had escaped with the guards 9 mm pistols, were considered to be very dangerous. Gwyn said investigators believe two weapons were found at the place where the men crashed the vehicle.
Monica and Billue were transfer sergeants at Baldwin State Prison. Monica had with the Georgia Department of Corrections since October 2009, and Billue since July 2007.
Putnam County Sheriff Howard Sills said the escaped prisoners were within a protected area of the bus. He said that he did not know how they got through the locked cage to overwhelm the guards.
Protocol is to have two armed corrections officers on the bus, but the officers did not wear bullet-proof vests during transfers, Dozier said.
Both escapees were serving sentences for armed robbery and other crimes. The Department of Corrections, said Rowe, 43, had been serving life without parole since 2002, and Dubose, 24, began a 20-year sentence in 2015.
Associated Press writers Russ Bynum in Savannah, Ga., and Adrian Sainz in Memphis, Tennessee, contributed to this report.

Simple email ticketing for managing customer support
Manage bugs and queries from an email like interface
Simple and effective ticket states
Ticket states help in tracking the progress on a ticket which is on its way to resolution. We have a unique paradigm where we do not impose pre-made ticket states on you. We only differentiate between 'Answered' and 'Unanswered' tickets. Once replied, a ticket is automatically moved to the 'Answered' section in the screen. With a combination of labels and features like Archive and Star, some of our customers track their progress on thousands of tickets a day with incredible ease.
Case Study
Auto-refreshing lists
SupportBee is snappy - Everything on the screen updates in realtime. You no longer have to refresh your screen to see new tickets. You can see your ticket list shrinking as your team members work through them. Even updates like label additions by team members can be viewed instantly by everybody. Welcome to the snappy SupportBee experience!
From the blog
"The price jump between 3 and 4 agents in Zendesk is around $1000 a year and that wasn't something that I was willing to spend. SupportBee works out very well for us because of the pricing based on volume."
Matt Coneybeare, UrbanApps
HTML Email rendering
SupportBee renders HTML emails beautifully. If you deal with HTML emails, the good news is that your agents need not fight garbled text in emails anymore. We take care of it all - Styling, links, inline images and more!
Labels for easy categorization

SupportBee offers an easy drag and drop facility for labels that enables quick creation of tickets lists. In SupportBee, you can add multiple labels to a single ticket; create labels with special characters; and even create labels in the language of your choice. The brightly colored custom labels add to the overall prettiness of the listings.

Attorneys for Drew Peterson, charged with murdering his third wife Kathleen Savio, alleged in court Friday that a sworn statement she made to an insurance-company lawyer contradicts her account that Peterson broke into their home in 2002 and threatened her with a knife.
Peterson's defense attorneys are seeking a copy of the notes made by an attorney working for Country Companies insurance. Three letters written by the attorney have already been turned over to the defense team, said Peterson attorney Joel Brodsky.
They are seeking two others as well as notes the attorney made during Savio's August 6, 2003, sworn statement. Brodsky said the documents should not be protected by attorney-client privilege because Country Companies has twice turned them over to prosecutors.

Former St. Louis Officer Jason Stockley
ST. LOUIS – A federal judge is reconsidering whether to reopen a previously settled wrongful death suit against a former St. Louis police officer.
On December 20, 2011, Jason Stockley shot and killed Anthony Lamar Smith, 24, at West Florissant and Acme after a mile-long chase through the area.
Stockley was eventually charged with murder in the case. He was acquitted on September 15, 2017 .
Smith's family filed a civil suit against the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department before the murder trial began. The family settled the case out of court for $900,000.
The federal judge is now weighing the option to reopen the case because he said the attorney for Smith's family did not have access to DNA evidence at the time, our news partners at the
St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Earlier Wednesday, it was reported that the judge had, in fact, reopened the case. However, the Clerk of Court at the US District Court in downtown St. Louis released a statement Wednesday afternoon, clarifying that judge was only considering such action.
Dear All:
I am writing you due to your interest in reporting on the above-styled case. I am including appropriate and current information on the case. You may wish to check this information against any previous reports you have issued. Please contact me if you have further questions.
On March 27, 2018, the Court held a telephone conference with counsel of record regarding a pending Motion to Reopen Case/Motion for Sanctions/Motion for Order to Show Cause [ECF No. 104]. Although a motion is pending in the case, the case remains closed. The Court has permitted counsel of record additional time to provide the Court with a scheduling plan relating to the pending matters. That plan is due on April 3, 2018. A formal hearing is not scheduled before the Court on that date.
Gregory J. Linhares Clerk of Court United States District Court – Eastern Missouri
During the criminal trial, prosecutors alleged that Officer Stockley shot into Smith's car at Riverview and Thekla in St. Louis then he and his partner, who was driving the SUV, chased Smith at speeds over 80 miles per hour. During the pursuit, the defendant is heard on an internal police car video saying "Going to kill this m/f, don't you know it."

Pierre-Joseph Redoute is recognized as the most talented botanical artist the world has known. During the late 18th and early 19th centuries he lived in Paris, the cultural and scientific center of Europe. Interest in plant illustration was at its height and his career flourished.
Redoute was from a family of Belgian painters. He was born in 1759, the second of three brothers. He left home when he was thirteen, determined to make a living as an itinerant interior decorator and painter of portraits and religious memorabilia. As he traveled, he studied the paintings of Flemish and Dutch artists. After 10 years, he joined his older brother in Paris and worked with him as a theater set designer.
View Larger Image (182K)
Still interested in floral painting, Redoute visited public gardens in Paris to study and sketch the flowers. At the Jardin du Roi, he attracted the attention of botanist Charles Louis L'Heritier du Brutelle. L'Heritier became a mentor to Redoute, taught him the fundamentals of flower structure necessary for botanical illustration, and employed him as an illustrator for his Stirpes Novae (published 1785-1791). Redoute contributed 54 illustrations to this work (Hunt 1958, v.2, cvi) . This was the beginning of Redoute's career.
In 1786, L'Heritier suggested that Redoute accompany him to London. In London Redoute learned the art of stipple engraving and color printing that would give him the technical expertise he needed to produce the beautiful illustrations found in his later works.
Another artist who influenced Redoute was the Dutch artist, Gerard van Spaendonck who had gained a favorable reputation in Paris as a painter and teacher at the Jardin des Plantes. Van Spaendonck perfected the technique of painting with pure water color which Redoute adopted and popularized.

After Napoleon came to power in France, Redoute was among the staff who worked to realize Josephine Bonaparte's dream of filling the gardens of Malmaison with the rarest plants from around the world. The engravings from Redoute's drawings during the early years of the 19th century are considered to be his best work. His drawings illustrate Etienne Pierre Ventenat's Jardin de Malmaison (1803-04), Aime Bonpland's Description des Plantes Rares Cultivees a Malmaisonet a Navarre (1812-17), Les Liliacees (1802-16) and Les Roses (1817-24). Les Liliacees is considered by some to be his masterpiece.

Brett Ratner sorry for dropping the other f-bomb
Director Brett Ratner called into the Howard Stern Show Monday to admit he lied about sleeping with Olivia Munn -- and to apologize for dropping that other f-bomb.
Horrible Bosses producer Brett Ratner had some harsh words for actress Olivia Munn last week when asked about a passage in her memoir that many thought referred to him -- but now he says he was just kidding and he never actually bedded her.
Ratner called into the Howard Stern Show Monday to chat about the uproar he caused last week when he talked about Munn -- oh, and that little gaffe when he dropped Hollywood's least favorite f-bomb.
Brett Ratner: I'm not a naked shrimp eater >>
Calling the actress "a friend," Ratner told Stern Munn advised him he is not the guy she referred to in her book.
"She's actually talented. The problem is I made her look like she's a whore," Ratner said.
The director also offered an apology for using a gay slur during a Q&A for his new movie Tower Heist on Friday night. When asked about his rehearsal schedule, Ratner responded, "Rehearsal is for f*gs."
In a statement Monday, Ratner said, "I apologize for any offense my remarks caused. It was a dumb way of expressing myself. Everyone who knows me knows that I don't have a prejudiced bone in my body. But as a storyteller I should have been much more thoughtful about the power of language and my choice of words."
His olive branch wasn't good enough for GLAAD, who issued their own statement.
"This apology is a good start, but we're working with Ratner's people for more action, to clearly send a message to Hollywood that the anti-gay slurs used by bullies and bigots have no place in the world of entertainment, or anywhere else," they wrote.
Ratner's remarks are putting him under extra scrutiny because he is producing this year's Oscar broadcast.

I went in and was copying all the data from my corrupt partition to my external hard drive. I had to copy 285GB. It ended up taking 13 hours. And now I've reformatted my partition and I'm copying it back. Time remaining: about 13 hours. So this will take a while but it's totally worth it. When this whole process is over, I'll let you know!

Windows 7 64bit Ultimate Build 7268.0.090701-1900
wow, that does seem long :S I hope it finishes...
I still don't udnerstand why your Windows Partitioner wasen't working... did you try re-deleting the un-allocated partition, then extending? i believe there is also some 'consequitive' peramiter rules, saying the win7 part must be beside each other.
My suggestion... playing with one HD in this manner with continous extensions/shrinks will cuase your HD to fail much faster. I suggest one OS per HD for maximum life, and limit to only <5 partition edits through the LIFE of your drive.
that said, wipe yur drive, THEN change your partitions with the installer, and install clean when you decide to go to a newer build. This will make your entire drive write on consequtively laid out partitions.
hope this helps...

Surfing Medicine International (SMI) is the world's largest and leading collective of Surfers, Lifeguards, Medical & Allied Health professionals of all specialties, Surf Coaches, environmental & other associated scientists, Students, Surf Industry and key surfing stakeholders, who are actively contributing to welfare of the global surf community, through numerous activities, such as: treatment in day-to-day practice, serving as contest medical personnel in both professional and amateur surfing arenas, delivering training courses (e.g. Advanced Surfing Medicine Life Support™), outreach events to Surf Community – Surfer's Academy, conducting scientific research work and publication, defining evidence-based standards within the specialty and the sport at large, and convening the Annual Conference in Surfing Medicine.
Our Journey
We want to educate this generation and create a new breed of Surfers, enable Surfers to prevent Injuries, helping and saving others, and inspire Surfers to become ambassadors for Global Health. Our quest is to connect with the local surf community, provide education on major topics as Drowning, Water Safety, Injury Prevention and UV related disease
Surfing grows increasingly popular with some estimates suggesting up to 37 million people participating worldwide nowadays. Surfers may encounter several different types of health issues whilst riding waves around the globe: trauma, to the head or extremities; drowning; hypothermia; UV damage to the skin and eyes; exposure to tropical infectious disease, as a result of traveling to far-flung destinations; stings and/or bites from animals, Mental health – Substance abuse & Depression. That's quite a broad spectrum, yet we've only listed a few.
By connecting individual Surfers and professionals, we hope to share knowledge, expertise and stoke for global health ambassadorship in the Surf community at large.

In Israel, Jews and Arabs live side by side on a patch of land no bigger than Rhode Island, a dot on the map surrounded by vast, hostile territories. It is a land of opposing agendas, of constant warfare, and of a desperate, excruciatingly sincere search for peace. In my novel, Israela, you'll grow to understand the Arab/Israeli conflict in that region, the rift that exists between these peoples, and the mammoth effort, the fight for good that it is going to have to take place in order for them to live at peace with their differences. The question is: What will happen if these people don't fight the good fight?
I used to consider myself lucky. I never really knew what my values were – beyond, of course, the need to be a good person; not to hurt or kill anyone; because it is only when our values are stretched beyond that line in the sand that we learn what we are willing to fight for. People in Israel are faced with that line in the sand, on a daily basis

Isabelle Hayeur: Corps étranger/Foreign Body
October 21, 2017 – January 28, 2018
In Isabelle Hayeur: Corps étranger/Foreign Body, Montreal-based artist Isabelle Hayeur reveals the many ways in which a downtown urban landscape is influenced and transformed by civic politics and false hope. During a residency at La Chambre in Strasbourg, France, Hayeur witnessed, engaged with and documented three northwest neighbourhoods known for their residential nature, yet strong political affiliations: Wacken, l`Orangerie and Robertsau. Reflective of the ethics of the European Union, these three communities are expected to exemplify all forms of equality surrounding the ways in which its residents live, where they live, and how they perform acts of citizenship. But, in this body of photographs, Hayeur uncovers many opposite effects of urban renewal in a city that houses the European Parliament. For example, images of inner-city camping, overlapping skylines that blur the boundaries between rural and urban as well as abstract reflections of buildings on mirrored high rises suggest a disembodied urban space. Be they occupied by angry citizens or unregistered migrants, the invisible bodies in these urbanscapes are performing new modes of protest. In the evidence of inequality that lingers in the shadows of gentrification and renewal, the absent men and women in the images become activists who, through public interventions, are performing the effects of globalization for all to see.

The City of Olmsted Falls is a picturesque and historic suburban community. The area was first settled in 1814 and was first known as Kingston, then Lenox. In 1829, the community agreed to name itself after Charles Olmstead in exchange for his library, said to be the first west of the Alleghenies. In the course of time the "A" was dropped from the name and this area was known as Olmsted Township. A gristmill and sawmill were built at the falls of the west branch of the Rocky River in the 1820's and a settlement soon formed. A town named Norris Falls was created at the center of the township in 1843, but in 1845 was renamed Olmsted Falls.
The city has robust recreational, residential and business communities.

"Telling people they're racist, sexist, and xenophobic is going to get you exactly nowhere," said Alana Conner, executive director of Stanford University's Social Psychological Answers to Real-World Questions Center. "It's such a threatening message. One of the things we know from social psychology is when people feel threatened, they can't change, they can't listen."
Arlie Hochschild, a sociologist and author of Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right, provided an apt analogy for white rural Americans' feeling of neglect: As they see it, they are all in this line toward a hill with prosperity at the top. But over the past few years, globalization and income stagnation have caused the line to stop moving. And from their perspective, people — black and brown Americans, women — are now cutting in the line, because they're getting new (and more equal) opportunities through new anti-discrimination laws and policies like affirmative action.

United Nations to Probe Illegal Gold Mining
As Problems Mount in South Africa, U.N. Plans Global Study Into Role of Organized Crime in Illicit Gold Trading
To combat the illicit trade of precious metals, a United Nations body will launch a global study in September to look at the role organized crime plays in the production and distribution of metals such as gold.
The study will look at producing and consuming countries of the metals across the world. The goal is to understand the scope and scale illegal mining and illegal trade of precious metals play in the global economy, says Jonathan Lucas, director at the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute....

Ferbruary 11, 2016
Pulling up to the mosque I didn't know what to expect but I dressed for the occasion…..I guess??? I wore what I'd wear to temple, a long salwar top and jeans. But was this appropriate for a community briefing on the post-conviction hearing for the now infamous anti-hero of the "Serial" podcast, Adnan Syed?
A room filled with brown people who looked like me immediately brought a sense of comfort. Rabia Chaudry, an attorney as well as Adnan Syed's advocate and family friend, had just started speaking. "For 17 years Adnan has maintained his innocence…." her voice being broken by tears. It struck me that after all this time a few words about Adnan so quickly moved her. I had gotten to know Rabia a bit over the past year – she was tough, smart, confident and clearly, human.
But Syed had much more than this packed room of supporters, probably tens of thousands more outside these mosque doors. Was I one of them? Standing in the crowded basement of adults and children adorned in #FreeAdnan t-shirts…..not exactly.
I came to Baltimore, Maryland to attend Adnan Syed's second post-conviction hearing. Syed was the subject of the phenomenally popular Serial podcast that reexamined his conviction for murdering his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee in 1999. After listening to Serial, I attempted to interview the trial prosecutor, Kevin Urick, in January 2015, but he stood me up. I then contacted Rabia along with Susan Simpson, an attorney and blogger who was instrumental in getting Syed 'another bite at the apple' as we say. We proceeded to do three one-hour Serial 'specials' dissecting different aspects of Syed's case for MSNBC.com.
Still, I do not know whether Syed is innocent of this crime. As a criminal defense attorney I think about guilt versus innocence all day, every day. But with Syed here is what I know: this kid got screwed from every single facet of the criminal justice system from the police to the prosecutor to his lawyer and even the trial Judge. I've read the trial transcripts, reviewed some of the evidence, spoke to many experts and bottom line, Syed did not receive a fair trial. Full stop.
So when Syed got another chance at a new trial through a second post-conviction hearing I knew I couldn't miss it. Now that I was peripherally acquainted with the significant parties, now that I knew way too many flaws in the process I didn't just want to read about it. I had to witness it all unfold for myself.
What exactly was I going to do there? I was not asked to go for television purposes, and although I'm a renowned trial-junkie in my New York City courthouse was I really going to spend money on travel to just sit and watch this hearing? And just not work?
I concocted a way to be useful to the masses who couldn't attend but who would be glued to social media for updates. I'd tweet, do video interviews and periscope, (didn't even know what that was until boarding the train for Baltimore whereupon I accidentally buttscoped twitter, ooops!). Having access to Rabia, Susan and perhaps others who would go on camera during the court breaks may allow me to provide a novel service. I was hoping…..
The first day of the hearing I walked into the courthouse with Rabia but when I entered the press room and she walked down the hall our paths diverged more than logistically. I wasn't there as a member of #TeamAdnan; I didn't sit with Rabia, the family, Susan and other supporters; I was going to sit with the press.
Walking into the press room was equal parts thrilling and terrifying. Of course the first person I saw was Sarah Koenig. Koenig who hosts "Serial" was, to me, the singular reason Syed got this far. I've said this before and I will say it again – there is no Justice without exposure. And that is the remarkable feat that Sarah Koenig accomplished for Adnan Syed.
The press room was filled with reporters; real ones, not the pseudo lawyer/journo that I was attempting to be. And despite how intimidating that was, I did what I always do. I manufacture confidence. I'm an experienced trial attorney, I've been working in news for a while too, I could do this.
With the group of reporters, we march into the courtroom for the grand entrance of Syed; no one has seen recent pictures of him so there was some curiosity. A bit after 930am a door in the back of the courtroom swings open and Syed enters flanked by officers. He's wearing light blue prison attire, a kufi on his head donning a long beard – and he is HUGE. Seriously. BIG. Like prison jacked lifting weights in the yard BIG. After that moment I ceased to pay much attention to him, unlike many others. Maybe that's the lawyer side of me. I was fascinated with the attorneys, the witnesses, the entire process; but what "the defendant" was doing was not relevant. During the hearing his role appeared minimal at best. Strange….almost like being a guest in your own home.
Getting into the groove of watching testimony, then sprinting to the press room to tweet was quite daunting, especially because coffee was initially banned. Balancing what tidbits from court needed immediate tweeting versus what was better left for interviews required circus like juggling. The one constant in the frenzied week was the comradery of the press room. Every reporter I met was gracious in sharing information, helping this outsider and supporting my endeavor – it was astounding. Lawyers don't play as nice.
The quality of reporting challenged me every minute to raise my game; the effort was thoroughly exhilarating. Because there is no tired, there is no hungry, there is no limit when you feel absolute joy in doing good work. Still it was not lost on me that my self-satisfaction sprung from a young couple's tragic plight.
I am fortunate to have a small, albeit undefined, role in this particular pursuit of justice. Yes, I am a lawyer. Sometimes, I am a journalist. And for a week in Baltimore I was simply, the messenger.

Have you checked your open file handler limit? You can do that by using "ulimit" in the shell. If it's too low, you will encounter the "too many open files" error. You can also see how many open handlers an application has with "lsof".

Google Chrome installs itself >>> Again
Hello, everyone -
So I've been big on portable apps for the last couple of years. I have hardly anything installed and about 15 portable apps that I run off a secondary drive.
Lately, Chrome has been installing itself even after I uninstall it and I can't figure out why. It really ticks me off. The only thing I've changed in my behavior is that I now sign into Gmail with Chrome and finally bought an Android phone, installed Google Voice on the phone and sort of use Chrome to send stuff over to my phone as I learn Android.
I ran a Virus scan and MSE picked up nothing. Anyone has a suggestion on what to check for.
Best regards,
|My System Specs
|06 Feb 2013
Win 7 Pro 64-bit
I don't use Chrome so these are just some guesses on my part.
- If you're signing in to Gmail using Chrome it may be reinstalling itself each time you sign in.
- Perhaps Google Voice requires Chrome and it syncs itself to any other device such as your computer.
- If you've updated or reinstalled Adobe, Java, etc they often pre-check a Chrome installation. If you're not careful you get unwanted "stuff" installed.
After uninstalling Chrome through control panel, you could try manually uninstalling Chrome by editing the registry.
Manually uninstall Google Chrome in Windows - Google Chrome Help
You could also search the registry for any reference to googleupdate, delete all keys referring to it, and also delete the folder(s) containing Google Update (in C:\Users\[yourname]\AppData\Local, ... LocalLow and ... Roaming), as well as Task Schedules (in C:\Windows\Tasks).
When editing the registry I suggest making a system restore point "just in case".

Lord Renton: I greatly appreciate all that my noble friend Lord Mancroft has already done to try to improve this Bill. Up to now I have agreed with him. However, it seems to me that the word "beats" is perfectly plain. "Beats" could mean either with one stroke or with several strokes.
The amendment moved by the noble Lord, Lord Monson, and accepted, seems to me to deal with the situation that my noble friend Lord Mancroft has in mind; namely, an attempt to kill a wild mammal with reasonable expedition. Amendment No. 4 refers to,
The other parts of Clause 2 also help. Therefore, although I do not disagree with the intention and spirit of what my noble friend proposes, we have to be careful not to clutter the Bill with words that are repetitive or unnecessary.
Baroness Nicol: I find myself in some difficulty over this point. Although I appreciate the worries of the noble Lord about frivolous or vindictive prosecutions, there is, as the noble Lord, Lord Renton, said, a degree of repetition which is probably not very sensible and which may cause problems when the Bill returns to another place. Nevertheless, it seems to me that there is still an area that is not quite covered by the amendment of the noble Lord, Lord Monson. Therefore, I am willing to accept the amendment.
On Question, amendment agreed to.
Clause 3, as amended, agreed to.
House resumed: Bill reported with amendments.
Returned from the Commons agreed to with amendments; the Commons amendments considered and agreed to.
A message was brought from the Commons that they concur with the Resolution of this House on 26th October.

The latest craze for getting high? i-dosing.
OK audibly high.....seriously??? Sorry I don't get it. Not to mention what school district allows mp3 players during school? I really don't understand how you can get high off of music. I agree that one kid in the video was strange but hell I think a lot of kids are strange.
I think the power of suggestion is so strong that if someone thinks he or she will get high from listening to some specific music, the chemicals in the brain that are activated are probably some of the same chemicals that are activated in the pleasure center when someone uses certain drugs. Of course, this is happening on a much diminished level, if that's the theory, at all.
Personally I think it's just a bunch of crap. I don't know if anyone remembers the banana peel trick to get "high", or the aspirin and coca-cola trick, well that's along the same lines. The sad part is, if a kid is looking to escape, there are plenty of the real drugs around that he or she can find
My guess would be it's similar to meditation, and getting your brain to match certain brain frequencies, like the Alpha brian wave frequency. There are tons of mp3's and videos on youtube that claim to help bring you to those frequencies by playing matching audio at the same frequency to help your brain sync up to it. The tone they show in the clip sounds like it's playing at the same frequency over and over, alot like those mp3's and videos I mentioned, although most of those try to make them more subliminal, and hidden in some music. Once you get to that mental state of relaxation I'm betting the power of suggestion (thinking they can get high off it) kicks in, or at the least, they just feel very relaxed, like it actually did something drug-like. Teens can sometimes be big dum-dums ...
Then again, if I had to listen to that sound they showed for too long, I'd probably be cringing and making those faces too ... yuck, it makes listening to Boy Bands sound like paradise.
MissB, ask your boy to try it out and let us know how baked he gets. kthxbye ...
MissB, ask your boy to try it out and let us know how baked he gets. kthxbye ...
It can't hurt anything if he does, it's basically just meditation, it'd probably actually be good for him. I've been studying up on meditation and trying it lately after hearing Howard Stern and a lot of his guests always talking about it, and how much they love it. Once ya remove the hippie-buddha-sitting-on-top-of-a-mountain-stigma-factor from it, it's really nothing but just a way to clear your mind, focus it, and get deeply relaxed for 20 minutes. I actually love it now too.
Tell him he should set his email signature as "kthxbye"
that is plain scary its amazing what they can come up with these days to get high good luck to all the parents out there
huh? ? time to take away the ipod and earphones? crazy
OK while at Defcon I went to a talk that was all about this and how music can alter you. I totally thought of this thread. Here was the meeting:
Weaponizing Lady GaGa, Psychosonic Attacks
Brad Smith
Until: 18:50
The gentleman who gave it holds medical degrees so he isn't some joe smo with a microphone. I also had to laugh that he showed part of that video above alone with a few more. When he showed them the audience laughed. Basically as far as getting high on music yeah its a NO you can't. He said it was like a placebo you tell enough ppl it will happen and you will get some who thinks it does.
The talk however was very interesting and the one I would say my son enjoyed the most. The broke it down to how you can change the music around to alter how ppl are as far as moods. Don't get me wrong not getting high but more how you can calm ppl down or spur ppl to buy things. It was very interesting oh and Dogg they talked about the brown noise and how it does make some have to go poop (see doggs thread about that here: Does This Sound Make You Need To Press Mud? ). They also talked about how music can be used to torture some and how the military uses it (ours and other countries). Here is a screen shot of the top songs used to torcher, I found the list funny and interesting...
So does anyone go nuts with these songs. I guess if you had to hear them 24/7 for 30 days you would haha.

What Are Your All-Time Favorite xoVain Articles?
It's gonna get sappy up in here.
I love my job. I get to write about beauty products, something I get incredibly giddy and passionate about, and I get sent lots of products for free to try out so I can share the results with you. However, I don't get everything for free, and my Sephora.com order history is more than enough proof of that.
Being a beauty devotee is a slippery slope. There's always something new, something pretty, something shiny! (Have I mentioned I'm a bit of a magpie?) So while I have drawers full of lipsticks, that doesn't mean I'm going to cap off my collection anytime soon. Same goes for skincare, fragrance and just about everything else. I want it all! And I don't care if that makes me sound like a crazy hoarder!
Right now there are a couple things on my wishlist that I thought I'd share with you guys. Perhaps you can take a look at this list and pine along with me. I'd love to know what you're lusting after too, so be sure to let me know in the comments and we can wax philosophically about why you absolutely must have that eyeliner/cheek stain/moisturizer, NOW.
First on my wishlist, coming in at both "affordable" and "will be mine soon" (because I actually ordered it) is Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics' Lip Tar in Psycho ($16, sephora.com).
I ordered it recently from Sephora.com at the suggestion of my friend Nicolette without actually trying it on, but I trust her beauty expertise. When I finally got to a Sephora store and applied the color, I knew I'd made the right decision. It is the perfect poppy, bold orange-red, that applies like a gloss but stays put and has a matte finish (I don't do glossy).
So, while this is on its way to me, it's still on my wishlist because I have to WAIT to have it, and I am really impatient when it comes to mail. (Seriously, where are the DVDs I ordered from Barnes & Noble in October?!)
Next up in the "so close, and yet so far" line of wishing is Illamasqua's Nail Varnish in Phallic($14, sephora.com). I'll admit, the shade name is a selling point here for me. I'm not particularly sure why they chose to name a shimmery sapphire blue polish after a term that means "wang-esque," but I'll take it. I mean, if I were going to design a "phallic" nail polish it would be nowhere near as pretty as this, so kudos to them.
I tried to order this from Sephora the other night and was stopped at the checkout when it told me they can't ship the polish to Canada. But they have at it Canadian Sephora stores (I tried it on!) So silly. I guess I'll have to wait until I'm well enough again to head out and pick up a bottle for myself.
And finally in the "why, WHY WON'T YOU BE MINE, DAMNIT?!" category is SK-II's Facial Treatment Essence (starting at $100, sephora.com), something I have been pining after for about 3 years now but I'm still too stubborn to shell out any money for. Used by the ever-ethereal and glowy Cate Blanchett to keep her skin perfect, this stuff is a veritable nectar of the gods for your skin. Also, according to Robert Pattinson, SK-II's facial masks made working on Twilight an enjoyable experience. Huh, how 'bout that.
Someday, you'll be mine. Someday. Until then, I've got my newly ordered Clarisonic waiting for me at my parents' house that I'll be using for the first time Saturday night after I've moved into my new apartment. Can you say PARTY? Yeah, I know how to do the weekends right.
What do you want? You can use this post to tell me about what beauty products you're wishing for, or just what you're wishing for in general right now. I'd like an avocado grilled cheese on pumpernickel and some muscle relaxants. Your turn.

Snapshots from Tuesday afternoon:
The worker's name was Ricardo and he never heard of Scott Rothstein.
"Scott who?" Ricardo said, as he spackled the empty space on the granite column in front of the Bank of America building at on Las Olas Boulevard.
A few weeks ago, the logo of the Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler law firm was proudly displayed on the column.
On Tuesday at noon, shortly after Scott Rothstein was led in handcuffs from a Fort Lauderdale courtroom to a federal detention center in Miami, the last remnants of the Rothstein name was being sanded, buffed and spackled into obscurity.
Thanks to Ricardo, who works for a marble and granite company, even the shadows cast by the law firm logo were now gone.
A few steps away, at the Bova Prime restaurant that Rothstein co-owned and which somehow remains open, the sparse lunch crowd looked at their palm gadgets and digested the latest headlines about the make-believe mogul who once lorded over Las Olas.
"They got him on a RICO charge," a customer named Steve told Tara the bartender. "That's a different set of rules."
I broke away from my $12 burger to let them know that the old boss was sent straight to lockup, no bond or bail for now.
Across the street, I ran into Marc Nurik, Rothstein's attorney.
"I was going to have lunch at Bova," said Nurik. "But I've got to watch my money now."
This is how quickly things change when a house of cards falls.

I set out to turn the drawing into a colorful metal sculpture on canvas. To make it more eye catching I gave it a grey background. For a while it was one of my most popular pieces. If you look at my artwork you will notice the one consistency is the lack of consistency. I try to make each piece different from all the others. With each piece I try something new and try to learn something in the process making each piece a process of self discovery.
My collection is large and diverse. To find what you are looking for, it is better to start with my GALLERIES tab than to browse from the top and go page to page.

After the release of Visual Studio 2005 today, a natural question is what's next for Microsoft's Developer Division. The expected response is Orcas, the next version of Visual Studio due in 2007 or so, but Eric Maino provides a different answer on his weblog:
While I can't answer this question for everyone I can answer it for my self and most of the developer division (there may be some people going on vacation for a while, so I can't speak for them). The developer division as a whole is working on MQ.
MQ is a milestone that is post-Whidbey and pre-Orcas that will focus on quality. We have learned a lot from the previous 3 versions of Visual Studio that were built around the .NET Framework, the biggest lesson that we learned on this most recent version was that we were not agile enough and we took too long to ship.
This milestone while it will not answer everything it gives the division time to analyze its processes and make improvements. Every team (just like a business) has areas that it would like to improve, but hasn't been able to in the past when there is code churn and deadlines looming.
I really think that MQ is a great step in the right direction and I believe that as a customer you will see this throughout the Orcas product cycle.
And no, it isn't a service pack.
[...] Now that Visual Studio 2005 has been launched, there has been a good deal of buzz in recent days about what's next for Visual Studio ([1], [2]). S. "Soma" Somasegar (Microsoft Corporate VP, Developer Division) provides a roadmap in a lengthy post on his weblog. Hit the link for the full details, but to net it out: [...]

Thomas Szasz Quotes About PsychiatryQuotes about: Psychiatry
Aided and abetted by corrupt analysts, patients who have nothing better to do with their lives often use the psychoanalytic situation to transform insignificant childhood hurts into private shrines at which they worship unceasingly the enormity of the offenses committed against them. This solution is immensely flattering to the patients -- as are all forms of unmerited self-aggrandizement; it is immensely profitable for the analysts -- as are all forms pandering to people's vanity; and it is often immensely unpleasant for nearly everyone else in the patient's life.
The two greatest enemies of the individual in the modern world are communism and psychiatry. Each wages a relentless war against that which makes a person an individual: communism against the ownership of property, psychiatry against the ownership of the self (mind and body). Communists criminalize the autonomous use of capital and labor, and harshly punish those who "traffic" in the black market, especially in foreign currencies. Psychiatrists criminalize the autonomous use of the self, and harshly punish those who "traffic" in self-abuse, especially in self-medication and self-destruction.
Institutional psychiatry is a continuation of the Inquisition. All that has really changed is the vocabulary and the social style. The vocabulary conforms to the intellectual expectations of our age: it is a pseudo-medical jargon that parodies the concepts of science. The social style conforms to the political expectations of our age: it is a pseudo-liberal social movement that parodies the ideals of freedom and rationality.
For Jews, the Messiah has never come; for Christians, He has come but once; for modern man, He appears and disappears with increasing rapidity. The saviors of modern man, the "scientists" who promise salvation through the "discoveries" of ethology and sociology, psychology and psychiatry, and all the other bogus religions, issue forth periodically, as if selected by some Messiah-of-the-Month Club.

"Romelu Lukaku has settled in brilliantly and done everything he was asked to do in terms of converting those home draws into wins, but games like this one are the real test. When I look back to the Everton striker's recent performances at Anfield he didn't play well, so this is the next step up for him. Going away to Anfield is a big test and his service will be more limited so he's now got to show the ruthless streak to win the big games for United. He will be defined by his performances in big matches. You're at a club with aspirations of winning things and a world class striker will be defined by trophies and performances in big matches."

Mechanical keyboards are prized for the smooth, precise feel of their key switches. It's all about the tactile experience. The underlying switch mechanism isn't the only component of that equation, though. The key caps also contribute to the overall feel, and Thermaltake and just kicked those up a notch. Instead of sticking with traditional plastic caps, the peripheral maker has introduced a lineup of metal replacements.
The metal caps are crafted from "a zinc alloy" and finished with a UV coating. They're designed to fit Thermaltake's own Cherry MX-based keyboards, but I suspect they'll work with similar models from other manufacturers. Most Cherry MX keyboards have similar caps.
As far as I can tell, the metal caps have solid faces that prevent backlighting from illuminating the key markings. They're likely to be heavier than conventional caps, too, which could make the key response a little lighter. But they also look awesome, and they should feel nicer under one's fingertips.
Thermaltake is offering five-key sets for $19.99 and a 38-key pack for $69.99. The smaller sets cover the Esc key along with the WASD or directional triangles, while the larger one fills out the rest of the alpha and main punctuation keys. Entire Cherry MX-based keyboards are available for same price as the 38-key set, so the metal caps are obviously a premium accessory. Still, I wish Thermaltake had a full, 104-key set—or an all-metal keyboard with a matching body.

An unexpectedly poor first quarter dropped Baton Rouge-based Edgen Group Inc.'s stock Monday to an all-time low of $5.67 per share before the stock recovered to close at $6.26 per share, down 49 cents.
The pipe and industrial products supplier reported a first-quarter loss of $5.4 million, or 27 cents per share. The company said its performance was affected by lower steel prices and contract delays from the fabrication yards that make jack-up rigs, some weather delays for some projects and less business from some pipeline companies.
The energy and infrastructure segment, which supplies pipe, valves and components to refineries and petrochemical plants, dropped 28 percent to $201.2 million. The oil country tubular goods segment, which supplies pipe to drilling companies, saw sales fall 10 percent to $205.2 million.
The company reported a first-quarter profit of $4.1 million a year ago. Per-share figures were not available because Edgen Group did not go public until May 2, 2012.
Lower steel prices and delays in contract awards, which began in the fourth quarter of 2012, and customer purchasing decisions affected the energy and infrastructure business, Edgen Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dan O'Leary said during a conference call with stock analysts and investors. The tubular goods business also has been hampered by declining rig counts and lower prices.
However, O'Leary said the tubular goods performed well despite a challenging environment.
The U.S. rig count dropped 12 percent during the first quarter, but Edgen's tubular goods volume was only down 4 percent, he said. Edgen has been able to gain market share in a declining market.
O'Leary said drilling companies have delayed awarding contracts for new-generation jack-up rigs.
Those delays meant fabrication yards had more capacity than usual, which allowed the drillers to pit the fabrication companies against each other, O'Leary said. Now that the drillers are moving ahead with the rigs, the yards are returning to their normal activity levels, and Edgen's outlook on the projects is improving.
However, as a result of the delays and uncertainty surrounding its customers' purchasing decisions, Edgen is withdrawing its previous earnings forecast for 2013, he said. The company expects to adjust those projections after a clearer picture emerges of customers' anticipated spending.
In March, Edgen had predicted 2013 sales in the range of $2 billion to $2.2 billion. Energy and infrastructure sales were expected at $1.2 billion to $1.3 billion, while tubular goods sales were forecast at $800 million to $900 million.
Edgen's first-quarter results included $2.9 million in after-tax charges, with $1.4 million of that for prepaying debt. Without those charges, Edgen would have lost $2.5 million, or 16 cents per share.
Edgen's first-quarter results fell far short of Wall Street analysts' projections. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters forecast earnings of 8 cents per share on revenue of $469.8 million.
Stock analysts have forecast 2013 earnings of $1.02 per share on sales of $2.09 billion.

There is shock and consternation in Brazil following Tuesday's bomb blast in Baghdad that killed United Nations special envoy to Iraq, Brazilian diplomat Sergio Vieira de Mello.
Brazilian newspaper headlines hailed Sergio Vieira de Mello as a hero who died for peace.
On the streets of Rio de Janeiro, many people's reactions to Mr. Vieira de Mello's death were both sorrowful and indignant. Clothes importer Claudia Schweller said the attack was absurd, adding that that it is hard to believe such things still happen in the 21st century. She said violence leads nowhere.
Attorney Joaquin Brandao says Mr. Vieira de Mello's death was senseless. Mr. Brandao said it is a shame that someone with such stature, who was conducting an active mission for peace, should fall victim to terrorism. He added that the message sent by the terrorists is that peace is impossible and that no efforts to quell violence will succeed.
But Brazil's foreign minister, Celso Amorim, took a more optimistic view: Mr. Amorim said he hopes the brutal death of Mr. Vieira de Mello will not be in vain. Rather, he said, he hopes it will inspire us to find a way to fight terrorism through rational means according to international law.
It was Minister Amorim who first notified President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva of the terrorist attack Tuesday. The president declared three days of national mourning in Brazil.
