Someone once described Graham Greene as the novelist of decolonizing Britain. England during and after the war and the imperial fall was his true subject, the uncut stone from which he chiseled his themes. Think of knob-kneed, lonely-hearted Wilson, the sunburned colonial officer in The Heart of
the Matter, which many consider Greene's most achieved novel, and the notion seems a natural. But what about the whiskey priest in The Power and the Glory, the messy domestic duplicity of the narrator in The End of the Affair, or the dog-walking double agent of The Human Factor? These are among the ranking inhabitants of Greeneland, as we've come to think of the territory, but fitting them into the thesis makes it seem reductive.
Is it, finally? Range through Greene's work and you begin to see the argument's validity. Greene's writing is all tied together by a running concern for a certain England at a certain time. His novels are maps for a journey through the moral, emotional and psychological terrain of a nation in triumph and decline at once–and then a nation re-encountering a world it so recently thought it had mastered. Between all the lines of all the histories to come, Greene may as well have advised us, this is the good and bad of who we were, this is how it looked from where we sat.
Some novelists lend themselves to this kind of reflection because their work is theme and variation from start to finish, as Milan Kundera once put it–and because their books are cast against the velvet curtain of public events: against history. Lawrence had his post-Victorian, postwar industrial England, injured and ugly; for Vidal the thread is spun of his preoccupation with us–we peculiar Americans and how we got this way, and the things our peculiarities lead us to do. To a long and disparate list let us add another name: In a writing life that now spans almost four decades, it is hard to think of an American writer who has made the deep dive into his time and place as effectively as Robert Stone.
This may as well get said straightaway: Nobody of Stone's generation comes near him–not in the elegant clarity of his sentences and not in terms of the thematic whale he has pursued from one book to another. Stone has a new novel out, and this may as well be noted in the front, too: Bay of Souls does not rank among his best work–certainly not his biggest. There are flaws that beg repair. It lacks the ambition and magnitude of Damascus Gate, his prophetic book (sorry–couldn't resist) on the Middle East. And it has nowhere near the cleanliness, power and singularity of purpose Stone achieved in A Flag for Sunrise, his Central America novel. Flag is now twenty-two years old, but I agree with Reynolds Price about it: It's the best book Stone has ever produced.

"It's all about teaching the concepts." That's Debra Woods' philosophy, and she says Mathematica is key in helping her achieve this goal. She teaches Mathematica-based courses at the University of Illinois and through its online math program, NetMath.
Woods says Mathematica's visualization capabilities make all the difference in the way her students explore and grasp lessons. "What we can do in Mathematica we simply can't do with calculators or textbooks," says Woods. "In Mathematica, you can not only visualize things, but you can also manipulate them to see how they would change. And you can have those graphics, along with calculations and text, all in one environment."

Madonna's got one. Paris Hilton's is rhinestone studded. It's so addictive that it's been dubbed "Crackberry" and it's given rise to a new social phenomenon - blirting, or BlackBerry flirting. RIM's BlackBerry is invading communications in much the same way as the iPod did music and is turning remote communications upside down.
Telstra, Optus and Vodafone all offer BlackBerry services in Australia. In the past, getting email meant negotiating a maze of tools and technologies to pull messages down from a server. BlackBerry offers a full end-to-end solution, pushing mail from your mailbox to you anywhere and any time.
The BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) polls mailboxes for new messages and forwards them via the internet and GPRS to a BlackBerry handset. All communications are 3DES encrypted and, other than initial set-up, there's little dependency on a PC. BlackBerry has its sights aimed at corporate road warriors with support for Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes.
Impact on corporate networks for the installation of a BES is minimal. RIM's flagship is the BlackBerry 7730. The glare-free 55 mm by 55 mm screen is crystal-clear and the controls are well placed, making it possible to open a message and read it single-handedly. A 15-minute charge each day saw us never short of power. The full QWERTY keyboard makes it easy to knock out a quick reply but we wouldn't recommend using it for much more.
Other models feature smaller screens, and some third-party devices such as the Nokia 6810 are available if you prefer a more traditional mobile phone form factor. As well as email there's a calendar, games, a web browser and a WAP browser. Third-party applications such as an instant messaging client are also available.
RIM's BlackBerry 7730 retails for approximately $799 plus a monthly service charge, and BlackBerry Enterprise Server licensing costs about $6000 for 20 users, or it can be hosted by a telco. For more details call Telstra, Optus or Vodafone or visit blackberry.com/ap - Anthony Caruana
Tape worm
The fourth-generation drive of Sony's Advanced Intelligent Tape (AIT) drives offer up to 200 GB of native storage capacity (520 GB with 2.6:1 compression) and a sustained native transfer rate of up to 24 MBps. AIT-4 drives are backward-read/write-compatible with AIT-3 media and read-compatible with AIT-2 and AIT-1 media. AIT-2 and AIT-3 drives support Write Once, Read Many (WORM) functionality and AIT-4 drives and media are also expected to support the feature later this year. WORM-enabled tape drives and media cartridges allow backed-up data to be easily accessed - but not rewritten, altered, or erased - and are suited to storing sensitive and regulated data.
Sony's AIT-4 drive retails for about $6900 and the media for about $170. For more details call 1300 138 246 or visit sony.com.au
Cheap prints
The cost of ink-jet printer cartridges can quickly add up in a small office but manufacturers such as Epson employ microchips on some cartridges to prevent their reuse. Calidad's Chip Resetter resets the chip so the cartridge can be refilled and used again. It is compatible with cartridges from a wide range of Epson Stylus, Stylus Colour and Stylus Photo printers. Calidad also sells ink refill kits for cartridges from Epson, Canon, HP and Lexmark. The Chip Resetter is also available as part of a starter pack that includes a black and colour refill kit.
Calidad's Chip Resetter retails for $12.95 and the starter pack for $24.95. For more details call (02) 8354 7955 or visit calidad.com.au
Make the switch
Robert Standefer's latest work, Macintosh: Switcher's Guide, is designed to guide those slaves of Windows who are considering a move to Macintosh. Along the way he explains how much life is improved by picking Apples. He deals briefly with older Macs and then pounces on the latest Macintosh operating system and goes through its features as well as those of the iLife '04 suite of multimedia applications. Most usefully, Standefer goes into detail on how to move data from a Wintel machine to a Mac without agony and also shows how Macs can be seamlessly networked with Windows computers. Overall, a good, practical and useful book aimed at easing the transition to higher things.
Macintosh: Switcher's Guide by Robert Standefer retails for $49.95 (Wordware Publishing, paperback, 400 pp)

Respawn Entertainment co-founder Jason West has departed the studio, studio head Vince Zampella has confirmed.
In a blog post on the developer's website, Zampella announced West had left the studio "to take care of some family issues," adding that he was "sad to see things come to an end" between them.
"We have worked together on some amazing accomplishments over the years," said Zampella.
"It is sad to see things come to an end, but there are times when change is best for growth, both personally and professionally. I wish Jason the best and send my best wishes to his family."
Zampella co-founded Respawn Entertainment with West following the pair's departure from Infinity Ward in 2010.
Rumours regarding West's departure first emerged yesterday, when it was suggested that the Call of Duty co-creator had left Respawn shortly after West and Zampella's lawsuit with Activision was settled last May.
In the same post, Zampella also appeared to confirm that Respawn would be revealing its first title at this year's E3, after teasing the reveal on Twitter last week.
"Respawn continues to amaze me," he continued, "the team here is resilient and talented. E3 will be therapeutic for us, as we finally get to start showing our work again.
"I know the team was excited about the response we got from just admitting we were going to attend."
Respawn's first game is rumoured to be a sci-fi first-person shooter.

International Fly Tackle Dealer Show Day 2 Video Recap The IFTD and the International Convention of Allied Sportfishing Trade show are occupying the same convention hall for the next to last time this year. Both shows will be back in Orlando next year, and then, as Deeter puts it, the IFTD "comes home" to Denver in 2019. While having the two shows together has likely created some new partnerships, Deeter says most folks are excited about the IFTD-only trade show in Denver in a couple of years, because the fly fishing industry is maturing and become better equipped to stand alone when it comes to its hallmark annual event.

Rethinking Apple: Growth Stock, Value Play—Or Both?
If you're an Apple stockholder, there's good news and bad news.
The good news is the stock is once again an attractive investment—especially after plunging from September's $705 peak all the way down to $417. The bad news is that many of its most loyal fans might be holding it for the wrong reasons.

There are no local classes or schools so that idea is out, I have to go it alone, so to speak.
If you can tell us roughly where you live, someone might be able to suggest alternate sources (e.g.,workshops, etc).Best,Paul
I probably should have included that to start with... I live in Chilliwack, a suburb of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (to be specific). There are programs downtown that still teach film workshops but travelling downtown eight or ten times isn't really possible sadly.
Hi,I'm part of the 'new generation' of photographers who have grown up with digital cameras and never really dealt with film photography. My high school photography classes were all digital and I've only ever owned one film camera (when I was about six). I also have had a lot of trouble finding any sort of a 'how-to' guide on the internet for developing film or anything of that nature. I'm applying for a very competetive photography course in the spring and one of the basic requirments is that I am at least familiar, if not compotent with the development process of film. So I have about four months to learn all about film and I'm wondering if anyone here has any idea of where to start? There are no local classes or schools so that idea is out, I have to go it alone, so to speak.I don't even have a camera at this point so if we could start from there and go forward that'd be great. Any pointers or help with anything realated would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance,TrevorP.S. I currently shoot with a Nikon D300 and plenty of Nikon lenses so a camera that goes well with that combo and is freely avalible on eBay would be great
Awsome. I'll most likely be picking up a book or two so I'll add that one to my list. It's actually surprising how difficult it is to find basic developing information on the internet. I need to be quite competent with developing and printing in general. As I don't know much about the process I can't really say just how competent but I imagine they expect me to meet or surpass a senior high school students level of ability. But again not knowing the process I really don't know how competent that is. It's all sort of strange actually as this is a very high end commercial photography course (two year course) and I'm not sure why we need to know anything about film other than how to scan it. If it were an art course I could understand but not for commercial photography. Either way I'm happy to learn and probably would have done it in my own time anyhow.
I can only image the perplexing shift you must be facing rather fearlessly.
So I have about four months to learn all about film and I'm wondering if anyone here has any idea of where to start?
I wondered if you have located a darkroom or at least picked up on a camera yet?Lee
Of course, color is a whole different matter. That process is highly automated compared to B&W, and I don't know why anyone would want to develop color at home unless they were setting up a very specialized lab to do things that the available commercial labs don't do.

Shot in six countries, this documentary shatters assumptions about faith, sexuality, and religious fundamentalism. Built around intimately-told personal stories of Hasidic and Orthodox Jews who are gay or lesbian, the film portrays a group of people who face a profound dilemma - how to reconcile their passionate love of Judaism and the Divine with the drastic Biblical prohibitions that forbid homosexuality. As the film unfolds, we meet a range of complex individuals - some hidden, some out - from the world's first openly gay Orthodox rabbi to closeted, married Hasidic gays and lesbians to those abandoned by religious families to Orthodox lesbian high-school sweethearts. Many have been tragically rejected and their pain is raw, yet with irony, humor and resilience, they love, care, struggle, and debate with a thousands-year old tradition. Ultimately, they are forced to question how they can pursue truth and faith in their lives--and survive--while upholding the universal struggle to belong.

The Phillies have placed righthander Roy Oswalt on the 15-day disabled list with lower back inflammation. Kyle Kendrick will take his place in the rotation.
The Phils also brought up righthander Scott Mathieson from Triple A Lehigh Valley.
Catcher Brian Schneider was also activated from the disabled list prior to tonight's game against the Oakland Athletics, while catcher Dane Sardinha was outrighted to Lehigh Valley.
Lefthander J.C. Romero was given his unconditional release.
Oswalt, 33, is 4-6 with a 3.79 ERA in 13 games. He is 1-5, 4.06 ERA over his last eight starts after going 3-1, 3.33 ERA in his first five starts. He previously spent time on the DL this season with lower back inflammation (April 27 – May 16).
Mathieson, 27, has gone 0-0 with five saves and a 2.59 ERA in 19 games with Lehigh Valley this season. He allowed just two earned runs over his last 18.2 innings (0.94 ERA), while 10 of his 11 appearances over that stretch were scoreless. In 13 career games with the Phillies, including eight starts, Mathieson is 1-4 with a 7.07 ERA in 42.0 innings.
Romero was originally designated for assignment following the Phillies' game against the Marlins on June 16. He went 6-for-6 with four saves and a 2.73 ERA in 237 career games with Philadelphia (2007-11), including a 0-0 record and 3.86 ERA this season.

2009-10 Conference Primers: #30 – NECPosted by rtmsf on October 6th, 2009
Ray Floriani of College Chalktalk is the RTC correspondent for the NEC and MAAC conferences. Click here for all of our 2009-10 Season Preview materials..
Predicted Order of Finish:
- Mount St. Mary's (15-3)
- Robert Morris (14-4)
- Quinnipiac (13-5)
- Central Connecticut (12-6)
- Monmouth (8-10)
- Sacred Heart (7-11)
- St. Francis (NY) (6-12)
- Wagner (5-13)
- St. Francis (PA) (4-14)
- Jeremy Goode (G), 5'9 Sr., Mount St.Mary's
- Jaytonah Wisseh (G), 6'1 Sr., LIU
- Rob Robinson (F), 6'8 Sr., Robert Morris
- Ken Horton (F), 6'6 Jr., Central Connecticut
- Justin Rutty (C/F), 6'7 Jr., Quinnipiac
6th Man of the Year. Julian Boyd (F), 6-1 So., LIU Newcomer of the Year. Mike Scott (G), 6-0 Jr., FDU
What you need to know.
- The Northeast Conference is composed of 12 members. Eleven compete for the championship as newest member Bryant will not be eligible for the NEC title or NCAA tournament appearances until 2013.
- The NEC is primarily a guard/small forward conference. Solid big men ruling the blocks are rare. Interestingly one who went on to a nice career hailed from the NEC. Rik Smits of Marist owned the low post in the mid-80s before heading to David Stern's league.
- The NEC post season tournament is contested among the conference's top eight finishers. Naturally, a good deal of scoreboard watching is in vogue past Valentine's Day. In addition some non-qualifiers can still play the spoiler in their last regular season games so the conference schedule carries weight throughout the campaign.
- The 'Battle of Brooklyn' is waged every year. LIU and St. Francis (NY) square off for bragging rights. The two schools are about a mile apart in distance.
- The dreaded 'Western swing' has had an effect and separated contenders from pretenders. The Western swing is the trip to the two Western Pennsylvania schools, St.Francis (PA) and Robert Morris.

This special edition of The Circle contains excellent articles on the science, environmental threats, herd management – or mismanagement – and conservation efforts for caribou and reindeer populations. But what I found to be missing was the sense of what it is like to experience these nomadic animals in the wild. For me, the impressions are humbling and unforgettable, writes Monte Hummel, President Emeritus of WWF Canada, and co-author with Dr. Justina C. Ray of Caribou and the North; A Shared Future, Dundurn Press, 2008.
From a cliff, I have observed some 10,000 animals attempting to cross an Arctic river in spring flood, being washed a kilometre or more downstream as they struggled to reach that far shore. Imagine the pandemonium – cows and calves calling for each other, little ones trying to keep up but often becoming separated, sometimes on opposite sides of the river. Some turned back midstream, while the bulls powered ahead – a successful passage always culminating with that triumphant shower of spray as they stopped to shake off after scrambling out of the current.
Another time I experienced an obviously large herd without ever seeing it, evidenced by the mats of caribou hair everywhere. Further proof of its passing was the muddy gravel churned into rubble by thousands of approaching and exiting hooves.

[UPDATE: My full season finale recap is now live!] My Walking Dead stumbled into its third season finale covered in blood and gore, after fifteen episodes that featured a steadily-building main-character body count. It was all building towards the ultimate showdown between the ragtag gang led by Rick Grimes and the kindly citizens of Woodbury led by the homicidal Governor. Expectations for a cosmically bloody final act were high. And sure enough — SPOILERS AHEAD — the episode did feature a ridiculous demonstration of artillery power, as the Governor led his army into the prison. (Two prison towers were exploded and various windows were shredded.
However, the actual death count during the Woodbury-Prison battle was surprisingly low. Thanks to an effective sneak maneuver, Tribe Grimes managed to repel the invaders with minimum loss of life. But the one death we saw was big one: Carl, left on the outskirts to protect the women/children/Hershel, took down a young Woodburyite, who was surrendering. (At least, he appeared to be surrendering — I'll focus more on the wartime ethics of killing your opponents in my recap. One note: The dude really should have just dropped his gun.)
Rick took his A-Team, Michonne and Daryl, on a trip to Woodbury to finish off the Governor once and for all. But the Governor changed the game in the meantime; when his army of Woodburyites refused to keep fighting, he mowed them all down, going Full Maniac and basically extinguishing his entire city-state with one full clip of an assault rifle. He took his security team and disappeared down the highway, leaving his future in the show uncertain. Will return next year as the Big Bad yet again, now completely unhinged? Or, like Merle and Morgan before him, is he disappearing for a good long time?
Two characters who are gone for good: Milton and Andrea, who spent the episode in an excruciatingly tense ticking-clock showdown. The Governor stabbed Milton and let him slowly bleed to death, knowing he'd chomp Andrea dead as soon as he turned Walker. Milton held off as long as he could…just long enough for Andrea to free herself…but not, alas, long enough to get to safety. Andrea took down Walker Milton but got zombie-bit, and wound up shooting herself in front of her old friend Michonne. This completes the journey Andrea began way back in the first season finale, when she tried and failed to kill herself. As a longtime Andrea anti-fan, I'll hold back for now and just say that they handled her exit well.
The episode ended with the remaining Woodbury citizens joining Tribe Grimes inside of the prison, setting up an exciting season of civilization-building. Or perhaps The Prison will just became New Woodbury? Lots to talk about, fellow viewers — my full recap is now live, but feel free to get talking in the comments!

The major issue is the (lack of) willingness of vendors to hand over control over devices to their customers (who _bought_ the devices) like they used to. Key management is a minor technical detail - chrome devices have the proper implementation (hardware switch to indicate user override), Shim provides the best possible solution within the UEFI secureboot framework, as long as key enrollment is at all possible. > Agree 100%.

If there is a single message that is not fuelled by paranoia > and FUD then changes can actually be made. The other reason for allowing secure boot to be disabled is Windows 7. And if they allow it to be disabled, it doesn't hurt to allow key enrollment. We don't know _what_ pressure made them change their mind. It's possible that PC vendors would have refused Windows 8 Logo for 2013/2014 devices to keep Windows 7 (or even XP) compatibility around for their business customers. If you want to discern Microsoft's actual intentions, it's best to look at the platforms that aren't bogged down by compatibility requirements: Win64 introduced mandantory driver signatures (since old 32bit drivers didn't run anyway), Windows on ARM introduced mandantory Secure Boot (with no custom key enrollment in sight). > Just FYI MS have been controlling PC hardware since they released the > PC98 specification so this is not a new move on their part but it is > an escalation. Sure, but it shows that pointing to the UEFI spec (and its siblings, PI and so on) isn't enough. What actually happens on devices out there is defined by Windows Logo requirements (and they're generally good ideas even, and forced BIOS vendors to fix their code for a while now. For example, Windows7+ explicitely tests that BIOS doesn't mess up the <1MB RAM area on suspend/wakeup, because BIOS commonly did so). Summary: - Verified boot processes work with coreboot and UEFI alike (within their respective world views) - UEFI Secure Boot is driven by Microsoft, not (as much) by Intel - Microsoft's motivation is partly to provide a secure environment (after their embarassing history of Windows (in)security) - Microsoft won't shed a tear if they get away with killing competition via "security" initiatives - UEFI Secure Boot key management is done by the old Microsoft/Verisign team. Probably out of convenience (they have some history of managing driver signatures), but politically unwise any maybe malign. So while Secure Boot is a nice idea if kept user-overrideable, it's in the wrong hands with no existing process to resolve that (UEFI Forum is the only semi public instance in that ecosystemen, it's paid-membership based, and they're also not responsible for the implementation of key management we have). The remaining theoretical option within the UEFI ecosystem is to pressure the UEFI Forum members to define secure boot overrides mandantory on all device classes in all future versions of UEFI. That way control over this dangerous feature is taken away from Microsoft and brought into the forum, which has a broader interest base than just Microsoft's. I doubt that could happen, but I'll be truly happy to be proven wrong here. The other option is to keep coreboot viable. Since I'm more technically inclined, that what I'll aim for. Patrick

Review: 'Populaire' is a love letter to '50s films
LOS ANGELES — "Mad Men" meets "The Artist" in "Populaire," a superbly crafted, finely acted but somewhat shallow retro rom-com about a young French secretary who, with the help of her highly persuasive boss, hammers her way to becoming one of the fastest typists on the planet.
This impressive debut feature from writer-director Regis Roinsard is boosted by terrific lead turns from Romain Duris and Deborah Francois ("The Page Turner"), as well as some stunning old-school cinematography from Guillaume Schiffman of "The Artist." Still, there's something formulaic and all too overtly crowd-pleasing about this sepia-toned tale of female empowerment and lost love, making for a rather soulless affair.
Set in the rain-swept towns of Lower Normandy in 1958, the film makes its throwback status heard loud and clear from the get-go, with opening credits (directed by Alexandre Courtes, "Asylum Blackout") straight out of a Billy Wilder movie and decors and a color palette that would please the likes of both Alfred Hitchcock and "Mad Men's" Matthew Weiner. Indeed, it's easy to spend most of the movie simply gawking at the sets (by Sylvie Olive) and costumes (by Charlotte David), so Roinsard, along with co-writers Daniel Presley and Romain Compingt, deserves credit for weaving an amusing intrigue that never lets up until the closing half-hour, when his premise starts to grow old.
A quick intro presents small-town gal Rose Pamphyle (Francois, channeling the feistier side of Grace Kelly), who works at her dad's local grocery store but longs for a better life. She thus decides to apply for a secretarial position at a neighboring insurance office run by the sleek, fast-talking Louis Echard (Duris, sharp and sprightly), who's impressed by both her superhuman typing skills and killer looks. Before long, he takes Rose under his wing as his protegee, training her for a regional secretary competition and moving her into his country mansion, where she's swept into a daily regimen of extreme typewriting and unrequited romance.
The bond the two form is not unlike that of Don Draper and Peggy Olson — hairstyles and smoking habits included — and Rose's climb to a higher social status is reminiscent of Peggy's evolution from clerk to copywriter. The difference here is that while the "Mad Men" duo ultimately transforms into a surrogate father-daughter team, the two Frenchies clearly have the hots for each other. Yet Louis is incapable of closing the deal, blocked by an enduring affection for his childhood sweetheart (Berenice Bejo) and memories of serving in the French Resistance during WWII.
While the love story is meant to fuel much of the action, it's often overshadowed by the thrill of the training sessions and typing competitions, which Roinsard films as if they were some kind of office combat sport. Cutting between the competing secretaries as they pound out keystrokes and slam back their typewriter carriages, the director and editors Laure Gardette and Sophie Reine endow these sequences with the nail-biting suspense of a finale at Roland Garros, making them the real highlights of the movie
But for all the earnestness with which the filmmakers replicate the muted colors and attitudes of the post-war era, they ultimately fail to say anything truly interesting about either the past or the present, resulting in a work that feels as superficial as it does slick. As Louis' expat buddy, Bob (Shaun Benson), explains at one point, "America is for business, France is for love," and there are times when "Populaire" seems to be channeling its love of movies simply as a means to achieve Hollywood clout.
"Populaire," a Weinstein Company release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "a scene of sexuality." Running time: 111 minutes.

I trying to figure out, how to used dskprobe in the system tool program. I went to Microsoft website, but info. was clearly explain.
Anybody offer any suggestion you know how to contact me.
To recover an NTFS volume, perform the following steps:
Open the Disk Management snap-in (go to Start, Programs, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, and select Storage).
Recreate the original volume by right-clicking the unpartitioned space and selecting New Partition from the context menu; specify the exact size of the original volume in the process, but don't format the volume (you must know the original volume size to recreate the volume because the Disk Management snap-in rounds partition sizes).
Use dskprobe.exe to recover the backup boot sector for the NTFS volume from the end of the deleted dynamic volume (because you're restoring a dynamic volume, you might need to use dmdiag.exe to find the backup boot sector). See the Microsoft article "Recovering NTFS boot sector on NTFS partitions" for an explanation of how to copy the boot sector.
After you rewrite the NTFS boot sector, quit Dskprobe.
Go to the MMC Computer Management console Action menu and click Rescan Disks to mount the volume for immediate use.

Dskprobe Overview: Data Recovery
Do anybody know how to use dskprobe?
Yes, I do, thank you very much.
I also know that if you do not know how to use it, and cannot follow Microsoft's instructions, you should not even think about playing with it!
It is a very low level tool insofar as it operates BELOW the file system level, so if you make a mistake, you are dead.
I would suggest that you Google around for articles about it and read them carefully. Ask us about the bits you don't understand; It is not something you learn by "trial and error"
If you are really determined to proceed, all I can recommend is that make sure that you have a boot/recovery floppy/CD, that you have set your BIOS sequence to boot floppy/CD/HDD, and that you have a ghost/mirror of your system. Ideally I would recommend doing this sort of thing on an experimental machine, rather than your production one
EDIT: Sorry, I forgot to ask, what do you think you will use it for? do you have a specific problem in mind?

Outlet switch that turns on and off based on humidity? (Like the timer switches for a lamp.)
Answers Given
Answers Favorited
I got a verynice humidifier (Venta, like it a lot, probably deserves a Cool Tool review itself), but it doesn't have an automatic humidity switch feature. I'm thinking I could get thatfunctionality with a device that plugs into an electric outlet and then has a switch that powers the humidifier on if the humidity drops below a certain level and turns the switch off if the humidity goes above a certain level. Google has given me nothing on this, but I'm guessing there must be such a thing out there!

By now, loyal readers of this blog know to take my predictions with a giant grain of salt.
After all, many of you never fail in the comments section to point out my prediction that Philadelphia would manhandle the Bruins in last year's second round before Boston went out and not only beat, but swept, the Flyers.
Nonetheless, anyone can just pick mostly higher seeds to win in six or seven games and not insult anyone. I don't approach my picks that way.
So while I do forecast some long series, I also see some matchups – including the Bruins' with Washington – that should be done before the end of the second week of the postseason. My pick is Bruins in five. I just don't see how the seventh-seeded Capitals can muster enough offense, once Zdeno Chara has his way with Alexander Ovechkin, or play strong enough defense, assuming the Bruins are flying in on the forecheck the way we know they can, to make this a long series.
The Capitals' drive to the playoffs was like a month-long playoff series in itself, as they were playing do-or-die games almost every night. So they should be a bit worn out. In addition, Braden Holtby is a strong, young goaltender. Nonetheless, there's a reason other than age that he's No.3 on the depth chart. Even without Nathan Horton, the Bruins – led by Tyler Seguin, Milan Lucic and Brad Marchand – should be able create offense on the rush, and on the forecheck. We all know what happens when you pressure the likes of Mike Green, Dennis Wideman and John Carlson.
Second-seeded Boston's back-enders are also giveaway prone when pressured, but they're much-improved back there, especially with the way Andrew Ference and Johnny Boychuk have fared this season. That pair should be even better this season considering the excellent regular seasons both player had and the experience they gained last spring in putting the clamps on Tampa Bay's and Vancouver's second lines.
The Bruins might miss Horton deeper in the playoffs, but they should have enough offense to get through the Caps. And they're power play, a problem spot for more than a year now, might be able to exploit Washington's penalty kill and gain enough confidence that it'll stop being a weak spot in Boston's arsenal.
Yes, the Bruins got a favorable matchup when Washington passed Ottawa in the East standings. And they should be able to finish off this series in five games.
Here's a thumbnail look at my other series picks:
Eastern Conference
(1) NY Rangers vs. (8) Ottawa
Ottawa in 7
The Rangers led the Eastern Conference for practically the entire season. Their style of play is so demanding, they could run out of gas. Playing with house money as the eighth seed, I can see the new-and-improved Jason Spezza leading Ottawa past the Blueshirts with Craig Anderson stealing a couple games in goal.
(3) Florida vs. (6) New Jersey
New Jersey in 6
If the Panthers, who backed into the playoffs in maybe the worst manner ever, suddenly went on a postseason run, it'd be a travesty. Martin Brodeur has quietly compiled another great season and Ilya Kovalchuk and company just might be one of the Devils' best offenses in a while.
(4) Pittsburgh vs. (5) Philadelphia
Philadelphia in 7
We saw at the end of the regular season that the Penguins could be knocked off their game by the Flyers physical ways. The chance to prove he was worth that huge contract will get Ilya Bryzgalov to play lights-out in net and the Flyers will spoil everyone's plans for a Penguins coronation.
Western Conference
(1) Vancouver vs. (8) Los Angeles
Vancouver in 5
Jonathan Quick might steal a game in net, but the Kings will miss Jeff Carter more than Vancouver will miss Daniel Sedin, offensively – if either player can't go at the start of this series. The Canucks are deep again and will get great goaltending from at least one of their netminders.
(2) St. Louis vs. (7) San Jose
San Jose in 7
The Sharks are in a perfect position to do what they haven't been able to do for years – exceed expectations. There are no expectations of a long run for San Jose, which means the pressure's off and if Antti Niemi can find his playoff magic in net, the Sharks just might be able to grind out enough offensive support for him.
(3) Phoenix vs. (6) Chicago
Phoenix in 6
The Blackhawks' goaltending situation has been a toss-up all season, the Coyotes are going to take advantage of that. They should be able to prevail based on their timely scoring and some solid goaltending from Mike Smith.
(4) Nashville vs. (5) Detroit
Nashville in 5
This is the Predators' year and the Red Wings have finally shown signs of deterioration. This will be the one-step-back year for the Wings, while the Preds – better in every area than Detroit – will be able to get some rest in order to make some more franchise history.

Wedding Style: Luxe
To achieve a glamorous aesthetic, steer toward large statement centerpieces with monochromatic blooms or masses of a single flower type, says Diane Wagner, a New York-based floral designer and author of "Beautiful Wedding Flowers: 350 Corsages, Bouquets, and Centerpieces" (Hearst, 2011). All white flowers will always look elegant, and tall arrangements will feel formal and dramatic.
"Imagine a cascade of white orchids on a silver or glass stand," Wagner says. Lush (and pricey) blooms like peonies and gardenias as well as delicate stephanotis and lily of the valley can also accentuate refined romance.
Wedding Style: Modern
Opt for sleek, structural blooms like calla lilies and orchids, says Emily Gladnick, owner of San Diego-based Urban Garden Floral & Event Design. Consider minimalist arrangements, sculptural pieces or, as Gladnick suggests, floating or submerging flowers in clear vases. For something fuller, try large, monochromatic bunches of a single bloom. Even romantic roses, hydrangea and china mums can feel sophisticated and modern when arranged in clusters by themselves without fillers or greenery, says Gladnick.
"The consistency keeps things tailored." That said, you'll want to avoid baby's breath, wildflowers and daisies of any kind.
Wedding Style: Rustic
"Rustic is my favorite style," says Wagner, who enjoys working with seasonal blooms. Her go-to is combining different textures and a variety of warm (coral, peach, rose) and cool (lavender, plum, blue, green) shades in an eclectic collection of small vases. "I like to mix mercury glass with clear and cut glass, or small birch-wrapped vases with miniature clay pots," Wagner says.
Gladnick suggests having your florist create natural-looking (avoid symmetry) arrangements of roses, hydrangea and succulents in mason jars or glass vases wrapped in burlap, lace or twine.
"Soft, pastel colors are perfect," she says, "but also feel free to add a pop of something bright, like orange, yellow or pink."

BYRON — An official who brought national attention to a small western Maine town for her support of a measure that would have required every home in town to have a gun has narrowly survived a recall effort.
Residents of Byron this week voted 32-31 to allow Selectman Anne Simmons-Edmunds to keep her seat on the town's governing board. The Sun Journal (http://bit.ly/149kjf4 ) reports that Town Clerk Allison Freeman confirmed the vote count.
Another town resident initiated the recall effort in March for several reasons, including the "ridicule, embarrassment and disrepute" her support of the gun ownership measure brought to the town of about 140 residents.
Voters overwhelmingly rejected the proposal.
Some people in town, including gun owners, said the proposal was another example of government overreach.

BRUSSELS (AP) — Tens of thousands of workers are demonstrating close to European Union headquarters in Brussels to protest against austerity measures that have hurt income and to demand labor-boosting initiatives.
Thursday's march was organized by the main trade unions and sought to bolster the defense of social legislation that links automatic pay increases to inflation. The workers also called for measures to back employment.
Socialist trade union member Marc Palumbe said that some 40,000 were "demonstrating for higher purchasing power" and better social conditions for employees.
The Belgian government is currently in talks with unions and employer associations on the latest round of collective labor agreements, which allow groups of employees to negotiate their contracts together.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A cruise ship headed to the Bahamas had to return to port in central Florida after a young child was injured in a fall aboard ship.
Royal Caribbean officials say the 14-month-old from India fell Friday aboard the Monarch of the Seas. The ship left Port Canaveral that day for a Bahamas cruise.
Cruise line officials say the child initially received medical treatment on board the ship but needed to be hospitalized. The ship turned around and returned to Florida, where the child was taken to a hospital.
No additional information about the child's injuries was released.
Royal Caribbean officials say Monarch of the Seas is sailing a three-night itinerary to CocoCay and Nassau, Bahamas.

Parents of missing woman vie for insurance funds
Parents of missing woman vie for insurance funds
BRADY McCOMBS
Jul. 08, 2014
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — December will mark the five-year anniversary of the disappearance of Susan Powell — a Utah mother who has never been found despite her family's continued searches.
Under Utah statute, Powell will be presumed dead at that time, meaning that about $2 million in life insurance proceeds can begin flowing into a trust she set up with her husband, Josh Powell, prior to her disappearance.
As that date approaches, and with all the primary beneficiaries now dead, the question of who is entitled to that money is being debated in the courts.
Josh Powell was being investigated as a suspect in his wife's disappearance when moved to Washington state, where he killed himself and the couple's boys in 2012.
On Tuesday in a Salt Lake City courtroom, Susan Powell's parents Charles and Judy Cox were alongside their attorney to defend a decision Cox made last year to cut out Josh Powell's mother and sister from the trust and make themselves the sole beneficiaries.
Lawyer Ted Buck said Cox has no responsibility to look out for anybody but his daughter, and that his modifications of the trust were within his legal rights as conservator.
"All I have done is try to protect my daughter's assets so when my daughter comes back and she's found, there will be something for her to come back to," Cox said outside court.
Joshua Lee, the attorney for Josh Powell's mother and sister, argued that the judge should void that modification to the trust. Lee contended that even as the court appointed conservator of the trust, Cox does not have the power to modify terms that called for proceeds of the life insurance to be split evenly between heirs from both families.
Lee accused Cox of having a conflict of interest, hoping to "line his own pockets" with the life insurance proceeds at the expense of Josh Powell's family. He said Susan Powell was close with her mother-in-law, even designating as the second choice to be guardian of her kids.
On Tuesday, Lee spoke on behalf of Josh Powell's mother, Terrica Powell, who was not in court.
"We all know that Josh Powell did some awful things and Mr. Cox has suffered greatly for that," Lee said in court. "But we should step back and look at Terry Powell. She has suffered greatly as well and she is not guilty of any terrible acts. It's been a horrible ordeal for her as well."
After listening to about 1 1/2 hours of arguments, Utah judge L.A. Dever said he would issue a written ruling at a later date.
The Utah police agency investigating Susan Powell's disappearance closed the case last year, saying for the first time they believed Josh Powell played a role in killing his wife and that his brother Michael Powell helped get rid of her body. Both men denied involvement in her disappearance before committing suicide about a year apart.
During the hearings, Dever questioned Lee how his clients have a stake in the issue. "As long as she is alive, your clients have no interest," Dever said.
Outside court, Lee said nobody believes that Susan Powell is still alive, saying that in a few months Utah law will presume her dead.
Judge Dever questioned Buck how anybody could possibly know what Susan Powell would do, calling it speculation.
Buck pushed back against the notion that Cox doesn't know what his daughter would do, saying he knows her better than anybody in the world. Powell may have been close in the past with her mother-in-law, but she wouldn't be today with all that happened, Buck argued.
"Do we think that Susan Powell would have those same priorities after what has happened since 2009?" Buck said. "I don't think so."
Earlier this year, a federal judge in Washington ruled that Josh Powell's family can share in about roughly $793,000 from the life insurance proceeds from the two young sons he killed in 2012.

Josh Riddle and David Rufful (Serious C and Stiltz) are Dartmouth freshmen of many talents. They call themselves Young Conservatives. Josh has kindly answered my call for the lyrics of their hip-hop anthem that imparts a conservative message in an unlikely form. I'm almost certain that this is the first time the word "inherently" has made its appearance in hip-hop. We're not talkin' 'bout "My Generation."
Part manifesto, part declaration of purpose, part statement of faith, "Young Cons" displays wit and learning in equal parts, with a dash of the mandatory braggadocio thrown in for good measure. And Dartmouth Hall has never looked so good.
Here are the lyrics:
Serious C:
I rep the northeast, and I'm still a young con
Let your voice release, you don't have to be Obamatrons
I debate any poser who don't shoot straight
The government spending needs to deflate
Ya ideas are lightweight,
ya careers in checkmate
I frustrate. I increase the pulse rate
I hate when, government dictatin', makin'
statements, 'bout how to be a merchant,
How to run a restaurant, how to lay the pavement
Bail out a business, but can't protect an infant
Deficiencies are blatant, young con treatment
I stand one man,
outnumbered at my college
Thank you Miss Cali for reminding us of marriage
Can't support abortion, and call yourself a Christian
I support life, you're a puzzled politician
Terrorists were imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay,
and now they're in our neighborhoods, planning out doomsday
No such thing as utopia, no government can control ya, baby ya,
Reap the benefits hard work and self reliant
Listen to Stiltz, my dude's a lyrical giant
I'm 6'9″ head and shoulder above the rest
Liberals playin' checkers, I'm playin' chess
My conservative view is drill baby drill
You can say you hate me but
I'm praying for you still
My dislike for thee mosdef is not hyperbole
Taxes are the subject and I will spit them verbally
I'm just livin' life a conservative philosophy
Sorry Hilary not a right wing conspiracy
We need more women with intellectual integrity
I'm talkin Megyn Kelly not Nancy Pelosi
My main motto is you best work hard
It's not the hand you were given,
but how you lay down ur cards
I don't speak lies but I spit the facts
28% the new capital gains tax
Porkulus bill lacks a few stats
The more money we spend, the more mine is worth Jack
The Bible says we're a people under God,
Usin' radar for radical Jihad
AIG was hooked up by Chris Dodd
A classy gift ain't an Ipod
The standards of my crew ain't republicans dude
I'm reppin' Jesus Christ and conservative views
Study history and true conservative moves
Every single time they refuse to lose
I am starting to see a modern day Jimmy Carter
When really nothin' but a Reagan era starter
Serious C:
Yo, We Americans son
Hit ya with some knowledge
The movement has begun
Everyone can succeed
Because our soldiers bleed for us
I said it in the verse,
now I'll say it in the chorus
We young conservatives son
Hard work is our motto
The movement has begun
EVERYONE can succeed cause our soldiers bleed, daily
My views are rock solid, no chance you can break me
Serious C:
Phase me, make me, into something that ain't me
Serious C can't nobody shake me
great like the Gatsby, poppin posers like acne
Don't matter if your gay, straight, Christian, Muslim
There's one thing we all hate, its called socialism.
It's loathsome, and America ain't the outcome,
Raise taxes on the people, ya gonna
feel symptoms, problems
I gotta message for a young con:
superman that socialism and waterboard that terrorism
I fulfill the role that's inherently mine
Teaching politics through my rap and my rhyme
I'm signing off this track with a question in mind
How will this country get its precious change in time?
Three things taught me conservative love
Jesus, Ronald Reagan, plus Atlas Shrugged
Savin' our nation from inflation devastation
On my hands and my knees prayin for salvation
Serious C:
Yo, We Americans son
Hit ya with some knowledge
The movement has begun
Everyone can succeed
Because our soldiers bleed for us
I said it in the verse,
now I'll say it in the chorus
We young conservatives son
Hard work is our motto
The movement has begun
EVERYONE can succeed cause our soldiers bleed, daily
My views are rock solid, no chance you can break me.
The conservatism and Christianity of these Young Cons have of course attracted the hatred of the mindless left. That much the Young Cons have in common with MIss California, to whom they themselves pay tribute in the song. Inspirational line: "The government spending needs to deflate/Ya ideas are lightweight." Readers are invited to submit their own favorite lines in the comments.

Sure the presence of a sports franchise will enhance the economy.
As myself and others have pointed out WWE is a bloody terrible comparison primarily because IT IS NOT A SPORT. Pro wrestling is a group of actors playing a role.Without a collective front against owners and shareholders whose sole concern is the bottom line, it always turns into a race to the bottom. A question of who will take more risk for less money?
Only in wrestling you say? Not possible in the Majors?
Further to that there is no real competition for the WWE so the actors are somewhat interchangeable and have no real leverage.
Why not use more apt comparisons like REAL SPORTS, where there are no unions involved.
How about using the PGA?

What about NASCAR

Their Drivers seem prety happy and dont want a union at all.
Sounds like the "owners" in that industry treat their drivers pretty well.As was the case during NASCAR's formative years, officials have always hung their hat on an "open door policy" for any driver with a legitimate concern. In the past year NASCAR has even taken the unprecedented step of holding "town hall" meetings with owners and drivers to give them all an informal forum.
Just this summer, NASCAR team owners came together on their own to discuss the state of the sport and the direction it was going.
And it's apparently enough progress to satisfy those most significantly affected.
"I feel that for all the frustration that we have with NASCAR at certain times, in the end, they have done a good job through dictatorship of creating this sport we have,'' Edwards said. "It's still by far the most successful sanctioning body on planet Earth.''

DIXON – An auction of jewelry that belonged to imprisoned former Dixon comptroller Rita Crundwell has raised about $258,000.
In a press release, the U.S. Marshals said the highest bid in Saturday's online auction was $12,300 for a men's ring with a horseshoe motif. The gold ring has 14 diamonds and is engraved with Crundwell's initials and the name of one of her ranches.
Other items on the auction block included watches, necklaces, loose diamonds and gold bar bullion.
Crundwell was sentenced earlier this month to nearly 20 years in prison after she admitted to stealing more than $53 million from the northern Illinois city.
Authorities have been auctioning off her belongings to raise money for restitution.
Prosecutors said they only expect the city to recover about $10.5 million.

This project is being retired in favor of its successor, StarTip2. This new addon is still in beta, but it already fixes bugs that existed in StarTip the original. http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/startip2/
- StarTip - Tooltips from OuterSpace
Huge appreciation goes out to ckknight for a ton of code. If you know CowTip, StarTip is similar. Props to Shefki for LuaTexts.
And many tributes go out to the many library authors whom have written the numerous libraries StarTip's script environment is built upon.
Customization Tips
StarTip provides an environment for your scripts.. This environment provides WoW API functions such as UnitName, UnitLevel, etc... If it's not available, try _G. Also, much of LuaTexts by Shefki is included, but be aware that modifications have been made and elements either removed or added. Also be aware that how you format your return values is incompatible with Pitbull4's implementation. In StarTip you simple return a string that's already formatted.
There are many plugins available. I imagine if you're willing to write an actual Lua script that you won't mind reading code. Go into the Libs folder and click into LibScriptable-1.0. Note all the LibScriptablePlugin* elements. These are what provide StarTip's script environment with functions and other elements.
Check here for a brief tutorial.
StarTip also has LibDogTag support. Just return the dog tag from your script, and click the check mark labeled "Dog Tag" to enable this feature.
Note: If you know of a library that you want to make available in your own scripts. let me know and I'll see about writing a plugin for it.
Bug Reports and Feature Requests
StarTip will take advantage of BugGrabber if it's installed, and will attempt to disable lines that cause errors. Note that the errors are not suppressed.
Report any bugs or feature requests here: StarTip Forum.
Or create a ticket here: StarTip Ticket Tracker
You can also post on the Wowace forum thread.
If you find a bug and you want to revert to a stable version, try the upload on Wowinterface.com
Note: Please write a ticket if you have a back trace: StarTip Ticket Tracker
Note to Translators: You can easily support this project by translating some phrases at either two locations: StarTip and LibScriptable-1.0.
The comments on Curse.com have been disabled. They're too much of a hassle to keep up with and use to communicate with users. There are numerous other options mentioned in this description for filing bug reports, or for simply seeking general help. Try the Wowace.com forums if you're still not sure where to go.

The UCEDC said its storm recovery loan program has provided nearly $2 million to 79 small businesses so far, and now has another $1 million to lend to Sandy-affected businesses that need working capital.
Robin Preisler, director of business development for UCEDC, a nonprofit economic development corporation, said grants from Investors Bank and the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund have to far helped UCEDC lend $1.954 million. Now UCEDC has a new $500,000 grant from the HSNJRF, which will support another $1 million in loans.
The maximum loan is $50,000 at 2 percent for five years, with no collateral required. Preisler said the grants enable UCEDC to make Sandy microloans at 2 percent, rather than its standard 10.25 percent rate.
Even as the one-year anniversary of Sandy approaches Oct. 29, there are still many small businesses in need of loans, she said.
"Believe it or not, people are just getting their final settlements with their insurance companies, so a lot of people who were holding off applying for the loans are now in our pipeline," she said. Also, companies are also finding out whether they will get a grant from the state Economic Development Authority, and now "they can see how much they are still short, in terms of how much money they need."
UCEDC is trying to reach out to businesses "that are suffering from storm fatigue, who even though they could benefit from this money, they just don't have the energy to go through another application process," Preisler said. "We try to keep it as simple as possible." A UCEDC staff member is going out to spread the word in areas harmed by Sandy, both Shore towns and places like Hoboken and Jersey City.
Preisler said some businesses had set money aside to buy new equipment to move their business ahead, and had to use that money to deal with Sandy. A UCEDC loan "will allow them to get back to their growth pattern. And many were using their personal credit cards, paying 12, 14, 15 percent — and our working capital loan can allow them to pay down that debt."
Michael Sodano owns Showroom Cinema, in Asbury Park, which was supposed to move into its new three-screen theater around when Sandy hit. Although the new building wasn't damaged, the storm delayed the opening. Sodano said when he opened around Thanksgiving, many residents still had not returned to Asbury Park.
"Our audience kind of disappeared," he said. "Through the loan, we were able to stay open, continue to pay our staff, and survive."
He said Sandy delayed the completion of the new building.
"Our air conditioning units were held up in a warehouse that was on a dead end street that you couldn't get to, because there was a huge tree and telephone pole blocking access to it. And we couldn't get cranes to come in and lift them up onto the roof, because all the cranes were being used for rescue operations."
He said business is good now: Asbury Park and neighboring towns have bounced back. He said the UCEDC loan "was a hand in the dark that we were able to grab onto."

If fact, it's the only thought I can go with without me doing severe harm to myself as a result of extreme exposure to ignorance and stupidity.
So, AE.... well played, well played.
Next topic now.....
RE: Please provide a Geocentric diagram
Right, some people seem to be having trouble grasping this concept, so I propose a thought experiment.
You have two guys. Let's call them Douglas and Otto for no particular reason. Both awake to find themselves inside a rectangular box. They have no memory of being put inside the box, in fact no memory of the concept of there being anything outside, or indeed "outside" as a concept.
Upon exploring the box, they notice that the box is apparently moving. They can feel it through their feet and in their inner-ear that the box is apparently under acceleration, they can sense periodic changes in vertical and lateral acceleration back and forth. Then Douglas discovers in one corner a pamphlet explaining that the box is actually on a rollercoaster at a themepark and the pair of them were drugged and put in the box by the owner and also that eventually the ride will end and the park will close.
The answer is simple, right? Just accept your fate, give it a few hours and eventually box will open, the park will close and everyone gets to go home. But for Otto, this isn't enough. He unleashes a string of insults at the owner (while simultaneously calling his existence a lie) and at Douglas and spends the next few hours using some dodgy maths to map out the periodic shifts in motion of the box and uses it to draw out a squiggly map of the apparent bounds of the box universe.
Douglas still thinks this is very silly and just sits in the corner minding his own business while Otto laboriously scrawls nonsense all over the walls and floor.
Imagine Otto's surprise and RAGE when the ride slows, the hidden door on the side of the box opens and daylight comes streaming in.
"I gave you a note explaining everything, dimwit. And why have you covered all the walls in graffiti? I hope you're going to clean that up."

Otto takes a skeptical approach and using critical thinking in combination with his senses to determine where they are in their shifts. He didn't Think there was no evidence of anything outside or else he wouldn't be calculating that they were moving in some type of space relative outside their rectangular box.
Your analogy that proves nothing other than your willingness to accept an easy answer is full of holes and fails to add up.
BTW: You also came very quite close to just explaining the movie Cube.

RE: Please provide a Geocentric diagram
AE, I don't give a shit about your theology or your roller coaster analogy. I'm talking geocentrism vs. heliocentrism.
The problem with your model is that you can LOOK UP and see that the stars and planets do not move in simple circles. They appear move in complex paths, with planets looping around and sometimes moving retrograde. You can't demonstrate this with simple circles. It took Ptolemy, probably the greatest geocentrist, thirteen volumes to explain the movement of just a few planets; he wasn't even aware of Neptune or Uranus or the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, or any of that. For the record, his epicycle theory is an overly-complicated system tangentially related to orbital resonances, mathematical relationships between the orbital periods of large masses which arise from cumulative periodic action.
The simplest explanation for the complex motion of objects in the sky is a compound of several simple motions:
Rotation of the Earth
Earth's orbit around the Sun
Moon's orbit around the Earth
Orbits of the planets, asteroids, and other bodies around the Sun, or their primary body (if they're moons)
Movement of stars relative to the Sun
The video you linked did not explain eclipses.
You have yet to answer stellar parallax, you've only said, "Herp, doesn't exist" without justification.
In your video you state that modern physics requires that orbits be circular, not elliptical.... I don't even.... The first goddamn law of planetary motion is "The orbit of every planet is an ellipse with the sun at one of the two foci."
Your understanding of the physics of planetary retrograde motion is also flawed. Venus doesn't actually reverse in its orbit. It just looks like it does because it's further around its orbit than Earth is by 1/2pi to 3/2pi radians. It's just geometry and perspective, vs. your model requiring actual reversal of Venus' motion, violating conservation of momentum. You could learn this on google in ten seconds.

RE: Please provide a Geocentric diagram
I think the set up for that analogy is quite good.
I'm with Clyde though, the characterisation is flawed. There is no reason for Otto to be angry, just curious.
To make the analogy more accurate, Douglas should be praying to the owner because he fears/loves them because the pamphlet has told him to and Otto needs to read the pamphlet and find mistakes / different fonts / inconsistencies ' written in handwriting strangely similar to Douglas's to account for his skepticism.
The conclusion to the analogy should be left open to allow the reader to decide which ending is most appealing / likely.

RE: Please provide a Geocentric diagram
That analogy is so flawed it doesn't even make sense.The universe isn't non-observable and non-measurable as you suggest. For your analogy to be correct, it would have to be a clear box with measurement devices all around it. These devices would be highly accurate and given speed, altitude, composition, etc of the roller coaster ride. Your analogy only makes sense if we're using Bronze Age science.

A further correction would also be that the pamphlet would have to say that you were actually on a Merry-Go-Round, when in fact you're clearly on a rollercoaster.
Basically what we're saying is that you're 24 cents short of a quarter.

RE: Please provide a Geocentric diagram
Okay, . . . just a quick comment. For the entirety of the universe to move around a stationary earth, . . . would the more distant materials [by default] more faster than near objects? For them to seem to have the same speed in the sky, they can't have the same actual "speed". If they did, closer objects would rotate faster. You wouldn't see the same constellations each night. It would be a different sky each night.

If you mean that each individual star is set at a different distance from earth, if that were the case then yes, you would obviously see them move at different orbital velocities around the earth and you are correct in saying the constellations wouldn't appear the same each night.
The fact that we do see them in the same configuration each night is a pretty solid evidence that they are the same distance from us and set into a spherical structure which revolves around us once per day

Large Animal Research Station
2220 Yankovich Road
In 1979, a major grant from the National Science Foundation founded the Robert G. White Large Animal Research Station on Yankovich Road. Administered by the Center for Research Services, the station's purpose is to conduct research on large ungulates, which are hoofed, cud-chewing mammals such as moose, muskoxen, caribou and domestic reindeer. In June 2002, the station was rededicated as the Robert G. White Large Animal Research Station.
Robert White joined the faculty of the Institute of Arctic Biology in 1970. He is a fellow of both the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Arctic Institute of North America. He was largely responsible for the creation of LARS and served as its director from 1979-1998, when he retired. White is an internationally recognized researcher in the field of large animal nutritional ecology and remains active in research in his area of expertise.

Our Highlights from Art Los Angeles Contemporary
Cliff & Mandy Einstein
Richard Hawkins draws upon aspects of visual culture that indulge in the pleasures and taboos of looking at the human body. In his work, the body frequently happens to be young, male, and exotic. Hawkins' subjects span centuries and continents, including Classical Greek and Roman statuary, 19th-century literature, 1980s teen pop heartthrobs, Thai sex tourism (in a series he refers to as a "Viagra overdose"), avant-garde Japanese dance, and the paintings of Gustave Moreau. His mediums and style also vary widely, having encompassed painting, sculpture, digital art, and drawing. The basis of his practice, however, is collage: it was the first medium in which he made mature work, and it has since become his analogy for the act of looking and understanding.

"This tax is about the needs, not the wants of the Morehouse Parish School District," Dr. George Noflin firmly stated. "This tax will not be used for a turf football field."
Speculation and rumors abound over how much the tax will increase for taxpayers and while some of the speculation comes close to the truth, the overwhelming majority of it is incorrect.
Morehouse Parish Tax Assessor John Hill broke down the proposed increase in dollars and cents for the average home or business owner.
"A mill is one-tenth of a penny, which you multiply by the assessed value of the home, not the market value of the home," Hill explained. "The assessed value is actually 10 percent of market value.
So, for a 9 mill property tax, homeowners would not see their taxes doubling, they would actually see an increase of, at the most $225, which would be on a home valued at $250,000 and no homestead exemption."
If the homeowner is still paying on the home and taxes are taken out each month through escrow, in this particular instance, it would be an increase of $18.75 a month.
The highest millage rate in Morehouse Parish is 97 mills and that ward is not in the "West" School District. Wards 6 and 7 have the highest millage, at 94 mils, in the District of the proposed tax. Only parts of Ward 6 are eligible to vote. Millage in Ouachita Parish averages out to be around 150 mills.
Other Wards under the proposal are
• Ward 1, which is currently at 84 mills and would increase to 93 mills
• Ward 3, which is currently at 84 mills and would increase to 93 mills
• Ward 4, which inside the city limits is currently at 75 mills and would increase to 84 mills and outside the city limits is currently at 84 mills and would increase to 93 mills
• Parts of Ward 9, which is currently at 86 mills and would increase to 95 mills
For a home owned in Ward 7 valued at $200,000, the current taxes are $1,775 a year with homestead exemption. The proposal would increase this homeowner's tax by $112.50 per year, making the total owed $1,887.50. If still in escrow, the payment would increase from $98 a month to $157 a month.
For those owning homes inside the city limits, where homestead exemption does not apply, they will have to pay, but will follow the parish tax structure meaning property is allowed the exemption.
The proposed tax would bring in $732,500 a year for the next 10 years and Noflin adamantly contends by the tax's usage will be for a Sixth Grade Academy and following that, other building repairs.
