*Delete - This page is Gibberish. And more - it blocks a rewrite of the page Bjork which could be something if someone gave it a hand - and two dots over the 'o' - letter.--Suresh 20:49, 9 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Papa Smurf
- Merged with "The Smurfs". --Bongo 06:28, 9 Jan 2006 (UTC)
- Against: I have undone the merge because the articles need to be reconciled, not merged. Papa Smurf is a decent article in its own right that should be kept; we just need to reconcile the overlap with The Smurfs. --Sir gwax (talk) http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/thumb/b/b0/Sucrose_b.gif/30px-Sucrose_b.gif 17:04, 9 Jan 2006 (UTC)
Pie man
Either delete or re-write, 1 sentence on a bad idea = not good.

My Space
There is already an article at MySpace which is a lot more funnier and doesn't read as cliche as this one does. Delete -126.96.36.199 04:13, 7 Jan 2006 (UTC)
Delete - Not feeling it Jlove1982 05:45, 7 Jan 2006 (UTC)
Keep While there is already a diffrent article about my space, this onle is totaly diffrent. The style it is written in is totaly unique to its contemporary and they both offer a diffrent prespective on the subject. How many jesus pages are there? Tons, they're all about jesus, we don't go deleting them. This is no diffrent, Its My Space just a diffrent interpritation. At anyrate, I don't see why this one gets to die and the other stays. This My Space is quite well developed as well as being accurate and true to the nature of real my space pages.--Stalin 06:41, 7 Jan 2006 (UTC)
Keep - with reservations. I thought it was cute...a nice little commentary on the inanity of myspace presented more or less as a myspace entry. Could be better, could be worse. I chuckled. — — 2nd Lt. Sir David, the Weasel of Wild KUN VFH FP Fire! 14:59, 7 Jan 2006 (UTC)
Keep, but reformat. I know it's meant to be a MySpace page, but it's really irritating to read. --Trevie 15:05, 7 Jan 2006 (UTC)
- Hehehe, I think that might be the point. That being said I would like to really improve the page, if anyone would like to put some time into it that would be great or has insiration for wha to change that would be good too, but deleting this artcle is not the solution.--Stalin 15:48, 7 Jan 2006 (UTC)
Keep -- The page is not at all the same as MySpace and is a good parody in its own right. Er, it has some good parodic material that needs to be tightened up. But. Somehow they should be merged: it makes no sense to have two articles with what is logically the same title.----OEJ 03:48, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)
I Have An Idea' why don't we change the name of this page to somthing like AngleFariyDust666 rather than my space and just keep the two connected in some way, make them disambiguations of each other or at least make them synonymous with each other. That and a little improvement to the article for good measure, and I think we've fixed the problem.--Stalin 16:27, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)

The Ring
It doesn't seem to be serving much purpose, though it may be able to be improved rather than deleted? Either way, I think it might be easier to start from scratch, so I vote delete that son of a bitch. Shame... --biggy 01:35, 6 Jan 2006 (UTC)
Weak keep the idea of there being a hundred and nintety seven different films and translations and japanese versions was kinda funny. it's alot like something I read on Wikipedia:The Cursed Videotape. --Nerd42eMailTalkUnMetaWPediah2g2 15:28, 6 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Final Fantasy
Long, random gibberish, sex jokes (ha ha ha ANAL Fantasy!) and a section for each of the games which is obviously written by someone who loves Final Fantasy. Rewrite or kill rewrite action time! Harp Heaven 22:04, 5 Jan 2006 (UTC)
I vote rewrite but just the spam of Final Fantasys below the first section. Maybe cut the number of Final Fantasies down or remove the unfunny ones.
- I read the article again, but there was nothing remotely funny I could salvage out of it. I just did a complete rewrite, revert if you don't like it :) Harp Heaven 05:57, 6 Jan 2006 (UTC)

- Keep as is. It's been rewritten from what it was. CX 23:27, 7 Jan 2006 (UTC)
Rewrite. This is terrible. I'm sure someone can do better.
Delete. "someone" don't work here. If an when a rewriter comes along they can re-create the article. It's horrid.Herostratus 18:20, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC) --Zyrac 23:56, 1 Jan 2006 (UTC)
Complete rewrite Pathetic, but still an article worth having. Don't get rid of it because it sucks for now. --Poofers 02:00, 3 Jan 2006 (UTC)
I shall re-write it, because I made it to the end of Metroid Prime and then couldn't beat the end boss. I have a bone to pick, and I think I can make one or two semi-funny jokes here. I re-wrote it, and I am confident it's slightly better than the "Halo sucks, Metroid is better" comedy of before. — — 2nd Lt. Sir David, the Weasel of Wild KUN VFH FP Fire! 14:54, 3 Jan 2006 (UTC)
Keep the rewrite: It's not the best article, but now it's got enough potential to be worth keeping. --Sir gwax (talk) http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/thumb/b/b0/Sucrose_b.gif/30px-Sucrose_b.gif 16:20, 4 Jan 2006 (UTC)
Ha ha!
As far as I can tell, a direct copy & paste of Wikipedia's article. Delete - Nonymous 17:21, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- huffed: I was a direct rip off of a wikipedia article, which makes it instahuffable. Next time you come across this sort of thing, report it to QVFD with a note that it's a plagarism. --Sir gwax (talk) http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/thumb/b/b0/Sucrose_b.gif/30px-Sucrose_b.gif 17:48, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- I do believe it was supposed to be a rip off of Wikipedia's article. It's called sporking, and as far as I know, changes were made. I think a more fair and just vote should be taken. KATIE!! 06:21, 1 Jan 2006 (UTC)
- Fine, but I still think it's crap that should be huffed. --Sir gwax (talk) http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/thumb/b/b0/Sucrose_b.gif/30px-Sucrose_b.gif 18:29, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)
New Trier Township High School
Kept since I read it. --Chronarion 03:24, 12 Jan 2006 (UTC)
- KEEP This hilarious article is viewed by many to be a vanity page. It is not in fact a vanity page and pokes fun at a nationally recognized high school. The article was so well done, that a copycat article full of lies has been posted on wikipedia at: [wikipedia.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Trier_Township_High_School]--Chimp888 02:34, 12 Jan 2006 (UTC)
KEEP --184.108.40.206 02:41, 12 Jan 2006 (UTC)
DELETE This page is not very funny at all and has nothing to do with Mao Zedong. Based on what we have seen at Hitler and to a certain extent Stalin, there is a lot of funny stuff that can be written about such types of people. This article, sadly is not, and should therefore be deleted so that a much better on can eventually replace it.--220.127.116.11 01:55, 12 Jan 2006 (UTC)

DELETE this page! It is not funny, and sadly most of the stuff on it is true. Because of the serious nature of the Holocaust Denial, a crappy article does more to offend than entertain. A much better, funnier, and more ridiculous page exists at Holocaust Denial.Please delete this page.

- Keep, that is, don't just delete it like it's any old crappy stub. This has a lot of content by a lot of people, so it deserves a little discussion. Personally I would prefer to see all pages blanked (with history intact). That way we get a fresh new start (with some watchful and passionate management), but people can still fish entries that they care about out of the history. And of course the policy should be changed to just delete bad articles, instead of moving them to undictionary. Doug 14:36, 9 Jan 2006 (UTC)

- The plagarism is only a portion of why it should be deleted; it also sucks as an article. Remember, this is supposed to be an encyclopedia, we have encyclopedic information, not trite lists. Also, as to the freedom of speech issue, you're an idiot; the difference between censoring speech and culling crap is sharper than 5 year old cheddar; oh and there isn't any protection of speech on Uncyclopedia, it's not a public entity (in a legal sense). --Sir gwax (talk) http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/thumb/b/b0/Sucrose_b.gif/30px-Sucrose_b.gif 17:17, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)

- Gwax has cut it to the quick - it's not an issue of plagary so much as it is an issue that the article isn't very good. Chuck Norris reminds me of the South Park song "What Would Brian Boitono Do?" - it's, um, hyperbolic semi-irony(?), and it's laid on thick and sloppy here, and there's no catchy song to back it up. The joke, beaten insensate - Chuck Norris is a tough guy, but you have no idea how tough, doesn't need 50 or even 25 reasons why this is so. The following quote: "DONT FUCK WITH CHUCK .... unless you're Bruce Lee looking to work out your morning wood." sums up the article for me as being loud, crass, and not having much to say. Chuck deserves better. — — 2nd Lt. Sir David, the Weasel of Wild KUN VFH FP Fire! 17:59, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)

- Keep and Add Text. As far as lists go, it's one of the more intelligent on the site (and there are TOO MANY.) It has plenty of current-issue jabs, philosophical and moral mock-conundrums, and playful pokes at the "Faith vs. Knowledge" schism (how's that for pedantic?) The pictures blow, but I like the campy "sales-pitch" form of it, and several lines made me chuckle despite being obvious. I think it would be a shame to nuke so many sharp tongue-in-cheek statements when merely adding some background text would solve the problem. (Wow, this is my first Keep vote! I can do it!) --King In Yellow 20:44, 12 Jan 2006 (UTC)

- Keep and add text It can be made funny, right now it is more of an advertisement and list. With more words and other things it can be made funny. Maybe Atheists object to it and find it not funny, but if Christians cannot get the article on Christians deleted, then why play favoritism? Uncyclopedia makes fun of everyone equally, or at least that was what I was led to believe. If you do not like it, rewrite it. Some things in this are funny, others are not funny but annoying and bigoted. It can be made funny by adding more words and rewriting the bigoted ones. --Lt.

- Rewrite or delete I'm all for deleting lists - in fact, I plan on whacking a bunch this weekend or early next week. This has a ton of potential as an actual article.

Jim Carrey Vows to Leave Facebook.
I also support Jim
Re: Jim Carrey Vows to Leave Facebook.
i support Jim too
i did a research read there policy and its not private what so ever
even if you think your messaging someone in private facebook owns it all
unless you delete your account anything you have posted in public or private
is in the hands of employees of facebook, so i realized that its not for personal use but for
promoting a business like and news you have JCO online which does not invade your privacy
i don't understand the rest of what Jim said but i believe and support him all the way
he's pretty smart and intuitive i just don't understand politics very much to me there all the same plus i feel free free-er now, like it was a bit stressful and it can take you away from life..addiction for some people and time consuming, even if your intentions are good..my ex hated facebook,,and anther friend of mine called it f book..the fo word ..its not a dating service and for me another thing i learned being a facebook member for years..is a lot of people are phony on there not everyone but most...i found a few good people FEW and far inbetween, but most ...married people are on there seeking something else cuz there not happy even my own family dont connect with me when i needed them the most...cold for the most part, and phoney in my experience,,,so thank God Jim said that statement that day..it kinna saved me, freed me...i feel different now,,like grown up,,,just a note,,sharing,,all the other social medias are not quite the same, you definitely spend less time with the other ones, which give you more time for more important things..right. so im happy it happened that way...for me its what needed to happen for me personally..like i said i don't know anything about the russians and spys thing, but i believe him, Jim
if at all things seem or appear to fail, just remember that 'LOVE WINS"
Re: Jim Carrey Vows to Leave Facebook.
He is absolutely right on this one
Re: Jim Carrey Vows to Leave Facebook.
so i called my mother and told her i dont use facebook anylonger she said good
i dont trust them, and my mother never used a computer in her life
she never heard a thing about them
if at all things seem or appear to fail, just remember that 'LOVE WINS"
Re: Jim Carrey Vows to Leave Facebook.
oh i almost forgot facebook now wont even let me into my business account now which i am a difference admin .. they said its suspicious behaviour and wont let me in both my professional artist account, that is way strange behaviour on there part never had that problem before anyways its a sign no more faceook
it never helped me with making more sales it really is a social thing for people that are bored my own kids don't use it
if at all things seem or appear to fail, just remember that 'LOVE WINS"
Re: Jim Carrey Vows to Leave Facebook.
I still use Facebook but it's getting more rare by the minute.
I support his decision but i won't leave Facebook just yet.
I'm a guardian of the spark...
I'm a God damn and proud good fan... and I love it! = )>

This chapter describes how to troubleshoot user-managed media recovery, that is, media recovery performed without using Recovery Manager (RMAN).
This chapter includes the following topics:
Trying to Fix the Recovery Problem Without Corrupting Blocks: Phase 2
Deciding Whether to Allow Recovery to Corrupt Blocks: Phase 3
Table 21-1, "Media Recovery Problems" describes potential problems that can occur during media recovery.
Table 21-1 Media Recovery Problems
Missing or misnamed archived log
Recovery stops because the database cannot find the archived log recorded in the control file.
When you attempt to open the database, error
This error commonly occurs because:
Two possible cases are as follows:
Logs may be corrupted while they are stored on or copied between storage systems. If
If you enable the parallel redo feature, then the database generates redo logs in a new format. Prior releases of Oracle are unable to apply parallel redo logs. However, releases prior to Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2) can detect the parallel redo format and indicate the inconsistency with the following error message:
See Also: Oracle Database Performance Tuning Guide to learn about the parallel redo feature
A datafile backup may have contained a corrupted data block, or the data block may become corrupted either during recovery or when it was copied to the backup. If checksums are being used, then the database signals a checksum error. Otherwise, the problem may also appear as a redo corruption.
Random problems
Memory corruptions and other transient problems can occur during recovery.
The symptoms of media recovery problems are usually external or internal errors signaled during recovery. For example, an external error indicates that a redo block or a data block has failed checksum verification checks. Internal errors can be caused by either bugs in the database or errors arising from the underlying operating system and hardware.
If media recovery encounters a problem while recovering a database backup, whether it is a stuck recovery problem or a problem during redo application, the database always stops and leaves the datafiles undergoing recovery in a consistent state, that is, at a consistent SCN preceding the failure. You can then do one of the following:
Open the database read-only to investigate the problem.
Open the database with the
RESETLOGS option, as long as the requirements for opening
RESETLOGS have been met. Note that the
RESETLOGS restrictions apply to opening the standby database as well, because a standby database is updated by a form of media recovery.
In general, opening the database read-only or opening with the
RESETLOGS option require all online datafiles to be recovered to the same SCN. If this requirement is not met, then the database may signal
ORA-1113 or other errors when you attempt to open. Some common causes of
ORA-1113 are described in Table 21-1, "Media Recovery Problems".
The basic methodology for responding to media recovery problems occurs in the following phases:
Try to identify the cause of the problem. Run a trial recovery if needed.
If the problem is related to missing redo logs or you suspect there is a redo log, memory, or data block corruption, then try to resolve it using the methods described in Table 21-2.
If you cannot resolve the problem using the methods described in Table 21-2, then do one of the following:
Open the database with the
RESETLOGS option if you are recovering a whole database backup. If you have performed serial media recovery, then the database contains all the changes up to but not including the changes at the SCN where the corruption occurred. No changes from this SCN onward are in the recovered part of the database. If you have restored online backups, then opening
RESETLOGS succeeds only if you have recovered through all the
BACKUP operations in the redo stream.
Proceed with recovery by allowing media recovery to corrupt data blocks. After media recovery completes, try performing block media recovery using RMAN.
Call Oracle Support Services as a last resort.
See Also:"Performing Disaster Recovery" to learn about block media recovery
If media recovery encounters a problem, then obtain as much information as possible after recovery halts. You do not want to waste time fixing the wrong problem, which may in fact make matters worse.
The goal of this initial investigation is to determine whether the problem is caused by incorrect setup, corrupted redo logs, corrupted data blocks, memory corruption, or other problems. If you see a checksum error on a data block, then the data block is corrupted. If you see a checksum error on a redo log block, then the redo log is corrupted.
Sometimes the cause of a recovery problem can be difficult to determine. Nevertheless, the methods in this chapter allow you to quickly recover a database even when you do not completely understand the cause of the problem.
To investigate media recovery problems:
Examine the
alert.log to see whether the error messages give general information about the nature of the problem. For example, does the
.log indicate any checksum failures? Does the
.log indicate that media recovery may have to corrupt data blocks in order to continue?
Check the trace file generated by the Oracle process during recovery. It may contain additional error information.
Depending on the type of media recovery problem you suspect, you have different solutions at your disposal. You can try one or a combination of the methods described in Table 21-2. Note that these methods are fairly safe: in almost all cases, they should not cause any damage to the database.
Table 21-2 Media Recovery Solutions
|If you suspect . . .
|Then . . .
Missing/misnamed archived logs
Determine whether you entered the correct filename. If you did, then check to see whether the log is missing from the operating system. If it is missing, and you have a backup, then restore the backup and apply the log. If you do not have a backup, then if possible perform incomplete recovery up to the point of the missing log.
Review the causes of this error in Table 21-1, "Media Recovery Problems". Make sure that all read/write datafiles requiring recovery are online. If you use a backup control file for recovery, then the control file and datafiles must be at a consistent SCN for the database to be opened. If you do not have the necessary redo, then you must re-create the control file.
Corrupt archived logs
The log is corrupted if the checksum verification on the log redo block fails. If
Archived logs with incompatible parallel redo format
If you are running an Oracle release prior to Oracle9i Release 2, and if you are attempting to apply redo logs created with the parallel redo format, then you must do the following steps:
See Also: Oracle Database Performance Tuning Guide to learn about the parallel redo feature
Memory corruption or transient problems
You may be able to fix the problem by shutting down the database and restarting recovery. The databse should be left in a consistent state if the second attempt also fails.
Corrupt data blocks
Restore and recover the datafile again with user-managed methods, or restore and recover individual data blocks with the RMAN
A data block is corrupted if the checksum verification on the block fails. If
If you cannot fix the problem with the methods described in Table 21-2, then there may be no easy way to fix the problem without losing data. You have these options:
Open the database with the
RESETLOGS option (for whole database recovery). This solution discards all changes after the point where the redo problem occurred, but guarantees a logically consistent database.
Allow media recovery to corrupt one or more data blocks and proceed with media recovery. This option will only succeed if the
.log indicates that recovery can continue if it is allowed to corrupt a data block, which should be the case for most recovery problems. This option is best if it is important to bring up the database quickly and recover all changes. If you are contemplating this option as a last resort, then proceed to "Deciding Whether to Allow Recovery to Corrupt Blocks: Phase 3".
See Also:"Performing Disaster Recovery" to learn how to perform block media recovery with the
BLOCKRECOVER command
When media recovery encounters a problem, the
.log may indicate that recovery can continue if it is allowed to corrupt the data block causing the problem. The
.log always contains information about the block: its block type, block address, the tablespace it belongs to, and so forth. For blocks containing user data, the alert log may also report the data object number.
In this case, the database can proceed with recovery if it is allowed to mark the problem block as corrupt. Nevertheless, this response is not always advisable. For example, if the block is an important block in the
SYSTEM tablespace, marking the block as corrupt can eventually prevent you from opening the recovered database. Another consideration is whether the recovery problem is isolated. If this problem is followed immediately by many other problems in the redo stream, then you may want to open the database with the
RESETLOGS option.
For a block containing user data, you can usually query the database to find out which object or table owns this block. If the database is not open, then you should be able to open the database read-only, even if you are recovering a whole database backup. The following example cancels recovery and opens read-only:
Assume that the data object number reported in the
.log is
8031. You can determine the owner, object name, and object type by issuing this query:
To determine whether a recovery problem is isolated, you can run a diagnostic trial recovery, which scans the redo stream for problems but does not actually make any changes to the recovered database. If a trial recovery discovers any recovery problems, it reports them in the
.log. You can use the
TEST statement to invoke trial recovery.
See Also:"Performing Trial Recovery"
After you have done these investigations, you can follow the guidelines in Table 21-3 to decide whether to allow recovery to corrupt blocks.
Table 21-3 Guidelines for Allowing Recovery to Permit Corruption
|If the problem is . . .
|and the block is . . .
|Then . . .
not isolated
You should probably open the database with the
in the
Do not corrupt the block, because it may eventually prevent you from opening the database. However, sometimes data in the
index data
Consider corrupting index blocks because the index can be rebuilt later after the database has been recovered.
user data
Decide based on the importance of the data. If you continue with datafile recovery and corrupt a block, you lose data in the block. However, you can use RMAN to perform block media recovery later after datafile recovery completes. If you open
rollback or undo data
Consider corrupting the rollback or undo block because it does not harm the database if the transactions that generated the undo are never rolled back. However, if those transactions are rolled back, then corrupting the undo block can cause problems. If you are unsure, then call Oracle Support.
See Also:"Performing Trial Recovery" to learn how to perform trial recovery, and "Allowing Recovery to Corrupt Blocks: Phase 4" if you decide to corrupt blocks
If you decide to allow recovery to proceed in spite of block corruptions, then run the
RECOVER command with the
CORRUPTION clause, where
n is the number of allowable corrupt blocks.
To allow recovery to corrupt blocks:
Ensure that all normal recovery preconditions are met. For example, if the database is open, then take tablespaces offline before attempting recovery.
Run the
RECOVER command, allowing a single corruption, repeating as necessary for each corruption to be made. The following statements shows a valid example:
When problems such as stuck recovery occur, you have a difficult choice. If the block is relatively unimportant, and if the problem is isolated, then it is better to corrupt the block. But if the problem is not isolated, then it may be better to open the database with the
RESETLOGS option.
Because of this situation, the Oracle database supports trial recovery. A trial recovery applies redo in a way similar to normal media recovery, but it never writes its changes to disk and it always rolls back its changes. Trial recovery occurs only in memory.
By default, if a trial recovery encounters a stuck recovery or similar problem, then it always marks the data block as corrupt in memory when this action can allow recovery to proceed. The database writes errors generated during trial recovery to alert files. These errors are clearly marked as test run errors.
Like normal media recovery, trial recovery can prompt you for archived log filenames and ask you to apply them. Trial recovery ends when:
The database runs out of the maximum number of buffers in memory that trial recovery is permitted to use
An unrecoverable error is signaled, that is, an error that cannot be resolved by corrupting a data block
You cancel or interrupt the recovery session
The next redo record in the redo stream changes the control file
All requested redo has been applied
When trial recovery ends, the database removes all effects of the test run from the system—except the possible error messages in the alert files. If the instance fails during trial recovery, then the database removes all effects of trial recovery from the system because trial recovery never writes changes to disk.
Trial recovery lets you foresee what problems might occur if you were to continue with normal recovery. For problems caused by ongoing memory corruption, trial recovery and normal recovery can encounter different errors.
You can use the
TEST option for any
RECOVER command. For example, you can start SQL*Plus and then issue any of the following commands:
RECOVER DATABASE TEST RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL TEST RECOVER TABLESPACE users TEST RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL CANCEL TEST
By default, trial recovery always attempts to corrupt blocks in memory if this action allows trial recovery to proceed. In other words, trial recovery by default can corrupt an unlimited number of data blocks. You can specify the
CORRUPTION clause on the
TEST statement to limit the number of data blocks trial recovery can corrupt in memory.
A trial recovery command is usable in any scenario in which a normal recovery command is usable. Nevertheless, you should only need to run trial recovery when recovery runs into problems.

Short Version: Pandorum is a mess of a movie that squanders a lot of potential.
Screen Rant Reviews Pandorum
Movies often fail for varying reasons; sometimes the fatal flaw is in the script, sometimes the performances of the actors and sometimes because of the filmmaker's total ineptness. Pandorum suffers from the latter case: director Christian Alvart has stitched together a patchwork of scenes that never really cohere into an actual movie. It's a real tragedy, considering the potential this film had.
Pandorum opens as Corporal Bower (Ben Foster) wakes from cryogenic sleep aboard the starship Elysium (clever pun), whose mission is to ferry the last remnants of humanity to a new home planet. Bower wakes with all of his technical memory intact - how to operate the ship's equipment, his military protocol - but his personal memories (events leading up to waking, such as where he is and how he got there) are all foggy. The room he wakes up in is sealed shut, and the ship's power supply is in disarray due to a reactor malfunction. Soon after Bower gets on his feet, another cryo-pod pops open and Lieutenant Payton (Dennis Quaid) joins party.
As the slimmer man, Bower heads up into the ventilation ducts bound for the ship's reactor, which he seems to recall being assigned to operate and fix. With Payton guiding him via comm link, Bower enters the bowels of the ship and steps right into a living nightmare.
Monsters have taken over the ship (as if you didn't already know). They are a species of pale white, inhumanly fast and strong warrior-killers, who spend their days hunting down the remaining humans and feasting on their bodies. After narrowly escaping the creatures, Bower meets a pretty ecologist-turned-survival expert named Nadia (Antje Traue) and a hunter-warrior named Manh (martial arts star Cung Le). After a violent introduction, the three humans band together to venture into the heart of the ship and reset the reactor before the vessel loses all power and the last of humanity dies in space.
While the field team is at work, Payton is running point from the cryo-chamber room and is eventually joined by Corporal Gallo (Cam Gigandet), who claims to be one of three crew members awake for the Elysium's initial lift-off from Earth. According to Gallo, his crewmates became afflicted with the space madness known as "pandorum," forcing Gallo to kill them all. The corporal tells Payton that Bower might also be suffering from pandorum, since he ventured out on a veritable suicide mission; for the good of the ship, Payton should seize control of the situation.
What unfolds from there is as predictable as your first guess and is even less exciting than you imagine. Like I said, this film is a patchwork of scenes that never feel connected, set in the framework of a film that never can decide which story to tell. Is the focus Bower and Payton's mysterious pasts? Is it a survival story? Is it a psychological thriller about space madness (what the hell is "pandorum," exactly)? And where did those creatures come from and what are they after? That last question does get some explanation (I think), but again, even the story behind the story is such a mess that I'm not quite clear what the explanation was. The shots and action sequences are often so incoherent that you'll lose track of where YOU are or what is going on, just the characters themselves. It's not a favorable position to put a movie audience in.
I will take a minute to absolve the stars of Pandorum of blame, since I don't believe the fatal fault lies with them. Everybody on screen looks lost and/or confused most of the time (see pic above), and rightly so: most of the scenes look like they were shot with the director sitting up on a high chair yelling "Do This! Ok... Now do that!" in random increments over a megaphone while the actors just tried to keep up. There is no character development (we're supposed to believe that these characters' choices are their choices just because the film says they are), and worst of all, I didn't like, dislike or connect in any way to even one character in this film, and when you can remain that indifferent for an hour and a half...
Instead of depth and meaning we get a mindless progression - Event A, followed by Event B, followed by Event C. Whatever happens, happens, with absolutely no regard for whether or not the occurrences are consistent with the characters, or whether or not they make any narrative sense. It's storytelling in the dark. Poor Dennis Quaid suffers the brunt of it - his entire role is set in the cryo-room, engaged in increasingly ridiculous back-and-forths with Gigandet. God bless him - I would have shot myself.
As for the monsters - which Pandorum kept veiled in secrecy during the ad campaigns - they're badass, but unfortunately just as hollow and flimsy as everything else in this movie. And oh man, by the time you get to the "twist ending" you'll want to hunt down the filmmakers, bop them on the head with a rolled up newspaper and say, "Bad dog! No! No!"
In the end, there is nothing redeeming about this movie. For the first twenty minutes you'll be handed the promise of a freaky sci-fi thriller (thank Foster, as usual, for making a lot out of a little), but after that, if you hang around for the rest of Pandorum, you too will be forced to watch that promise denigrate into cosmic slop.
Welcome to the first real disappointment of the fall 2009 movie season.

Morgan Freeman: I'm Not Marrying My Step-Granddaughter [VIDEO]
Back in 2009, the National Enquirer published a story saying that actor Morgan Freeman and his then 27-year-old step-granddaughter, E'Dena Hines, had been having an affair for upwards of a decade.
Now the actor and Hines are both speaking out with an unequivocal denial about reports they're going to tie the knot.
Freeman's rep said that after years of staying silent so as not to "dignify these stories by commenting," the fact that some media sources are now reporting the pair plans to marry have made the actor feel the time has come to set the record straight.
In a statement, Freeman said:
The recent reports of any pending marriage or romantic relationship of me to anyone are defamatory fabrications from the tabloid media designed to sell papers. What is even more alarming is that these fabrications are now being picked up by the legitimate press as well.
E'Dena issued a statement of her own that read, "These stories about me and my grandfather are not only untrue, they are also hurtful to me and my family."
The family tree is a bit complicated, but here's how it breaks down:
From 1967 until 1979, Freeman was married to his first wife, Jeanette. During that time he adopted Jeanette's daughter, who later gave birth to E'Dena, thus making the girl Freeman's legal granddaughter, although they aren't related by blood.
Over the years, Hines and Freeman, 79, grew close — he's often taken her to premieres and awards events, which could be how all the nasty rumors started to take shape.
Watch a story about the icky mess below.

Meet Shannon BracyYou may not see Shannon Bracy around campus much even though she's worked here for 22 years, but that's probably because she spends most of her time in the athletic training room or at games helping students, coaches and staff.
"Shannon's one of those folks who doesn't seek the limelight or attention," says C. J. Jones, Wellness and Fitness Center coordinator. "She's a team player and supporter."
Bracy's expertise in helping students return to sports after injuries, accidents or surgery is a boon to all who work with her. Jones says she goes beyond the necessary in working with athletes.
"She's more than just an athletic trainer. When Shannon works with students she goes above and beyond the call of duty. She works with them when they're injured, when they're in rehabilitation and when they return to play," Jones says. "Most physical therapists release athletes and then they go back to their normal routine. But if you work with Shannon, she will fill in the gaps."
Bracy loves working with the coaches and athletes at De Anza. "The best things about my job are working with the athletes to rehabilitate an injury and getting them back out to play, seeing them succeed and go on to a four-year college, not just athletically but academically too," she says.
Her mentor for 14 years was Dave Obenour, former athletic trainer at De Anza. "He taught me so much about being patient and happy no matter how stressed I get," Bracy says. "All of the coaches and people here in Athletics and Physical Education get along so well that I truly look forward to coming to work and would not want to work anywhere else."
Bracy has served as president of the California Community College Athletic Trainers Association (CCCATA) for three years and as vice president for six. Her work was recognized with the CCCATA Trainer of the Year award in 2005 and a Special Service Award from the Far West Athletic Trainers Association, which includes Nevada, California and Hawaii.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infects over 170 million people worldwide and can lead to cirrhosis, liver failure, and liver cancer. The current medications that we have for the treatment of hepatitis are imperfect.
Finding better drugs for the treatment of HCV is therefore a priority. The study of factors that regulate the viral lifecycle, of which host lipid biosynthesis is one, can help us better understand the virus to combat infection.
The identification of biomarkers prognositic of outcome in chronic HCV infection can help guide therapeutic decision making. The examination of the mechanism of action of our anti-viral compounds can not only be used as a method to characterize key interactions and pathways critical to viral replication, but can be a productive means to the discovery of potential antiviral agents for the treatment of chronic HCV infection.

Well, it was bound to happen. The sourdough starter I got from my friends was left unattended too long and bit the dust. I did use it for several tasty recipes though, and I'm going to get a fresh starter at some point. Probably in the fall, since I don't do a lot of baking in the hot summer. One of the dishes I did make with my starter was a scrumptious chicken pot pie. The sourdough flavor really came through in both the sauce and the crust, and gave this savory dish an unexpected tangy twist.
First, I made the sauce:
4 Tbsp. sourdough starter (If you don't have starter, you can use 4 Tbsp. of roux, made with flour and butter)
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (I used Colby Jack)
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
Then I made the crust:
2 cups flour
1/2 cup sourdough starter
4 oz. onion or chive flavored cream cheese
3 oz. butter
1/2 tsp. salt
Milk, for brushing
3 chicken breasts, cooked and cubed or shredded
1 large can mixed vegetables, drained
Of course you can use fresh or frozen vegetables, but I always have big cans of mixed veggies in my pantry, and they're just right for throwing together for a quick pot pie.
For the crust, combine the flour and salt, then place in a mound on the counter. Create a well in the center, and put the sourdough starter in the well. Fold the flour into the starter using a spatula, until all incorporated. Add cream cheese to the mixture and fold in. You may need to work it in with your fingers. You want to have some small chunks of cream cheese left. Form dough into a square. Cut butter into the center and fold dough over itself so it encases the butter. Roll, fold over, and roll again into a 9×13″ rectangle.
To make the sauce, put the stock and water in a pan over medium heat. In a small bowl, combine sourdough starter and 3 Tbsp. of milk, whisking until dissolved. Add the rest of the milk and whisk. Once the stock is bubbling, whisk the milk/starter mixture into the stock. Add cheese. Add salt, pepper and spices. Continue to whisk and heat until cheese is melted and mixture is smooth and satiny. Add chicken and vegetables and stir gently until coated.
Pour filling into a 9×13″ baking dish and top with the crust. Brush crust with milk and make a few incisions with a knife to allow steam to escape.
Bake at 400 degrees F. for 30 minutes or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown. Enjoy!

God hates me. Nothing else can explain my recent steady string of bad luck. My plans to devote free time to writing, and my entire holiday, were derailed by a bout with food poisoning...or stomach flu (it's not clear which is the culprit). While most of you were enjoying vast portions of poultry, piled on plates, and devouring drumsticks, I was in bed convalescing. I was struck down Wednesday evening and didn't fully recover until late Saturday, and by that time my only goal was to salvage what was left of Thanksgiving. On the bright side, illness provided a way of avoiding family. Hallelujah!
So that was my week. Enough ruminating. Now for some good news - I freed up this whole bloody week to devote to blogging...and I am raring to go. Today will be a little spotty due to a couple meetings with clients (you know, that whole job thing), but from then on it's off to the blogosphere. Provided of course God ceases his campaign to punish me. Was I Hitler in a past life? I thought having Vista running on my PC was punishment enough. sigh
Now, if you'll all excuse me, I have to see a man about some wallpaper.

What is fastboot? In Android, fastboot is a special diagnostic and engineering protocol that you can boot your Android device into. While in fastboot, you can modify the file system images from a computer over a USB connection. It's a powerful, nerdy tool that deserves to be broken down into terms we all can understand -- let's try and do that.
Fastboot is three different things with the same name: A protocol for communication between your phone hardware and a computer, software that runs on the phone when in fastboot mode and the executable file on the computer you use to make them talk to each other.
Not all phones have a fastboot mode that the user can access. It's turned on with Nexus devices by default (as well as a few other phones and tablets) and has been enabled by independent Android developers and enthusiasts on some other phones. It also requires software from the Android SDK, and different USB drivers for Windows computers. Fastboot runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux and all the information about setting it up can be found in the forums if you're interested. Once set up, you boot your phone to fastboot and you can flash image files to your phone's internal memory. Flashing a custom recovery (after unlocking the bootloader) is a popular use case, as is resetting it all back using factory images after we're done breaking things by flashing the factory images. With an unlocked bootloader, the images you flash don't need to be signed with a particular key, so just about anything will try to flash — even if it shouldn't be used, so use care. There are other commands you can use with fastboot, and they're a bit more advanced. Things like erasing partitions and overriding kernel command line options can be done, and this makes the tool very useful for developing hardware and software solutions that may need customized booting procedures. With a little bit of knowledge, and the right Android hardware, fastboot can be a great tool.

There's been a lot of speculation over the exact course of that errant Mythbusters cannonball that went flying through a suburban neighborhood this week.
Yes, gone are the days when cannonballs will fly in dependable straight lines and plop down with nice dependable kabloomies. These days they use the front door, ricochet through bedrooms, bounce up hills, careen through streets in a drunken fit, and generally behave almost exactly the way cannonballs don't.
Fortunately, we can trace the trail of wreckage and piece together exactly what happened. So let's follow along, shall we?
4:14 PM: The cannonball "myth" fires.
From there, it bounded over barriers, sailed through suburbia, and ricocheted off the top tier of the Kyle-Deckard wedding cake:
Followed by a quick bounce off the Maitland anniversary cake:
...a quick hopscotch through a local pound cake display...
...and a sliding skid through a nearby birthday party.
Next it executed a tight right turn, picking up speed while narrowly missing these two characters:
Nice reflexes, guys.
Then things REALLY got interesting.
The shockwave from the ball's* passage knocked 3 out of 4 turkey's heads CLEAN OFF.
*"Ball's". Heh. Aheh. Heh.
...AND blasted the cake right out from under a Mr. Louis E. Tully's frosting:
"And that wasn't fondant, man," stated Mr. Tully at a press conference later. "it was buttercream. Anyone wanna take my picture?"
Next, according to a sheriff's spokesperson I am totally not making up, "the cannonball took a few unfortunate bounces."
After which it bowled through an innocent tray of cupcakes...
...repeatedly pummeled a defenseless ice cream cake...
... and, apparently just for spite, rolled behind the counter and scrawled grammatically incorrect insults on all the waiting orders.
This was one nasty cannonball, guys.
Finally, after literally bringing down the house...
"Oh, oh, oh!"
...the cannonball came to rest in little Arthur Dent's birthday cake:
Where it was iced over and sold by the pound.
Thanks to Katie M., Jessy A., A.S., Bre D., Alexis G., Michelle M., Joel F., Kevin P., Jennifer E., Monique R., Lisa B., Beth J., & my all-time favorite cannonball wranglers, the Mythbusters gang.
And now...

President Barack Obama is widely considered more likable than his Republican challenger, while Mitt Romney is the preferred candidate on the economy, a new poll released Friday shows.
According to the latest USA Today/Gallup survey, 54 percent of registered voters nationwide view Obama as the more likable candidate, while only 31 percent give that distinction to Romney. In fact, the poll shows the president leading Romney on a host of issues. Voters prefer Obama over Romney to handle foreign affairs, 54 percent to 40 percent, and taxes, 52 percent to 43 percent. The president is also viewed by 53 percent of voters as the better candidate to handle Medicare, which has re-emerged as a prominent issue in the campaign following Romney's selection of Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) as his running mate.
Among the seven policy areas tested by Gallup, the presumptive Republican nominee claims the edge on only two. Romney leads Obama on the paramount issue of the economy, 52 percent to 43 percent, as well as the federal budget deficit, 54 percent to 39 percent.
The PollTracker Average currently shows Romney with the upper hand on the economy, 46.5 percent to 42.9 percent.
