Does anyone know how to stop Photoshop (Creative Cloud 2014) from saving scanned images acquired by WIA as bitmaps in some folder? I want them to just be opened in Photoshop as new untitled documents and not saved anywhere. This scanner's WIA with CS5.5 under 32-bit Win XP used to work that way, but 64-bit Photoshop under 64-bit Win 7 seems to want to act differently. (Those factors are not something I have control over; this is my work computer.) The scanner itself is the same and the software seems to act the almost the same as it used to under paint.NET, actually (except I have to pick the device each time even though I only have one, but that's a single keypress) but Photoshop now insists on prefacing the normal scanning interface dialog with another box asking me where I want to save the image, giving me the option to also open it in Photoshop, but not to only do that.

No matter what I do I can't seem to get the scanner to appear under the File > Import menu with its own name like it used to, only the general File > Import > WIA Support option (which was always there too, but which I never used). I feel like that might be related, but I've installed all the versions of the driver I can find (HP offers three, a "basic feature" driver, a "TWAIN driver and utilities" that might be useless because I read that you can't use TWAIN in 64-bit Photoshop, and a rather large full software suite I don't really need) and none seem to have the desired effect.

blah?

24500Gold lamella with a Greek inscription, between 1st and 3rd centuries A.D.
[...]
500 Lamellae, small pieces of metal on which an inscription appears, range in date from the second century BC through the Roman Period and are found in tombs from Palestine. They were buried with the deceased, placed on the forehead.
500 The inscription is on one side of the lamella only.
500 Text of inscription: θάρσει, Ἡρακλιανέ, οὐδὶς ἀθάνατος.
500 Text of inscription: tharsei, Hērakliane, oudis athanatos.
500 Translation of inscription: Cheer up, Heraklianus, nobody's immortal.

LOL.

My trusty not-a-purse bag that I've had for more than 10 years and replaced the zipper on once (that was tricky) is really starting to wear a bit thin. It's sort of messenger-bag style, black canvas, one internal compartment, and a flap that closes with the sort of clicky plastic clasp like you see on a backpack and has a zippered outer pocket. The problem with replacing it is that every messenger bag I look at is several inches too large in width and height (typically around 16" x 12"). Does anyone know where I might be able to get something like that measuring approximately 13" w x 9" h x 4" d?

Ever wonder why jackalopes immerse themselves in the high desert plains? Feel the need to see where Friday Night Lights all began? Want to try the best tex-mex food? Like nice, salt of the earth people and gorgeous sunsets? Want to be part of all the encompassing benefits of the UT system? Good then. We will tip our ten gallon Stetson to you, as our library is seeking the following:

TECHNICAL SERVICES MANAGER/CATALOGER

...really, University of Texas? You're going with this for your job announcement on Autocat? Really?

Also, I know life is cheaper in Texas, but I'm appalled at the salary they're offering for a university position requiring a master's degree, and a department manager at that (not "just" a librarian). The current starting salary for my own position (which is at a community college and requires only an associate's degree, so far as I know) is more than they're offering!

Anyone else finding in TB 38 that the first SMTP send per session doesn't work, and then the second and subsequent sends work fine? This started happening to my mother when she accepted the upgrade to 38.1, I think it was (or maybe 38.0.1?) and I'm seeing the same behavior now that I've applied the update to 38.2.0 (from 31.7.0 I think). The UI gives a "timeout" error popup, but IIRC looking in the log on her computer revealed that on the first attempt it was actually not even trying, just instantly failing, I think without even opening a connection, so I suppose the same thing is happening here since I'm seeing the same symptom. (The second transaction looked like a normal SMTP send, hence successful send of mail.) enotsola and I both banged our heads against this issue for several hours when she first saw it happening and got nowhere; apparently no one else on the internet was having this problem then, and I'm not finding references to it now, either. bzuh?

This bit from one of the latest Joint Steering Committee for Development of RDA papers reads like whatever that Twitter of weird patch notes is:

4.4 Core designation of PPDM elements
The approval of 6JSC/ALA/29 effectively plugged the "cascading vortex of horror".

(PPDM = Production, Publication, Distribution, and Manufacture)

I think they are referring to a place in the RDA instructions where there existed a complicated decision tree for deciding what of these elements were core (i.e. must be included in the bibliographic record), lots of "core if:" kinds of statements, that has since been simplified; but I love that someone out there apparently characterized it as a "cascading vortex of horror". LOL.
