Just what the title says. The update manager is also asking me to update to Ubuntu 12.10 even when I have the part unchecked that says "Check for new Ubuntu version updates" thing. Is there some way to turn the annoying update manager off?

Using gconf-editor check that the Auto-Launch checkbox as shown in this image is ticked.
(As found by Nick) - check also that the option (highlighted) "regular_auto_launch_interval" is set to zero.
You have a few issues that need to be corrected:
Open a terminal and type
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Look for lines that have lucid in them for example
deb http:/archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner
Add a # to the beginning of the line to comment it out - for example
#deb http:/archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner
Save and re-run
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

That's because
apt-get upgradedoes not install new packages.Due to the way the kernel packages are built, every new (bugfix) version of the package actually has a different name. Plus you install a metapackage, which will always depend on the latest kernel.
This has as a sideeffect, that updating the metapackage for the kernel always requires a new package to be installed (the new kernel), which update-manager will happily do for you.
apt-get upgradehowever will strictly upgrade packages, and will not install new packages. If you runapt-get upgrade, you will see that the kernel metapackage is being held back (for this reason, though it doesn't give you the reason).So instead of
apt-get upgrade, runapt-get dist-upgradeto update the kernel metapackage and install the latest kernel version.
