Wellness: Like all great discoveries the history of magnets is an ancient phenomenon embraced by generations of individuals worldwide. At the core of Trion:Z is a dedication to linking the scientific properties of magnets and negative ions with innovative style and design. Background of Negative Ions Negative Ions are generally abundant in nature through plants, waterfalls, rain storms and forests. These Ions unfortunately are depleted in urban areas and as a result of modern technology. The human body absorbs Positive Ions from electronic equipment, cell phones, electrical wiring, and machinery encountered in everyday modern life. Physical stress and exposure to Ultraviolet (UV) Rays also elevates the positive ion levels within the body. Background of Magnets Magnetic fields exist in all areas of life. The earth is in essence one large magnet, surrounded by a large magnetic field. The earth's magnetic field protects us from radiation and is essential to healthy cell regeneration. The cells in the body create electrical charges and magnetic forces. Modern technology and lifestyles shield us from the earth's natural magnetic fields. Athletes Rory McIlroy Trion:Z's lucky charm has become the youngest player ever to win on the PGA Tour at Quail Hollow, shooting a course record of 62 on Sunday for a colossal win. He successfully entered the World Top 100 in 2008, and then the Top 50 in 2009. With a driving force earned his first victory in the 2009 Dubai Desert Classic. He has been seen wearing Trion:Z through out his entire career even before achieving his #1 ranking as a World Amateur in 2007. "Trion:Z is an important tool that helps maintain my focus and gives me great confidence in my abilities on and off the course." Rickie Fowler You never have a problem locating Rickie on the course with his brightly colored outfits and matching Trion:Z wristbands. He is the only player in history to be the NCAA Player of the Year as a freshman. With a #1 world ranking for 36 weeks in 2007 and 2008 as an amateur golfer, Rickie's career had just begun. Rickie is leading the PGA TOUR Rookie class currently holding 4 top 10 finishes, multiple top fives and two second place finish. "With the research and development behind Trion Z, I believe they help my body stay balanced and feeling good." Ryo Ishikawa The youngest player to win on Japan's Golf Tour at age 15, Ryo Ishikawa locked in 4 wins in 2009. Headlining Japan's tour money list, he is the youngest player ever to be selected to the President's Cup Team in 2009. Warmly regarded as the "Bashful Prince", Ryo has been wearing Trion:Z since its inception in 2006. "When I wear Trion:Z and Colantotte products, I perform at my best." Brittany Lincicome With 3 career LPGA Tour wins, Brittany Lincicome scored her first major championship win at the 2009 Kraft Nabisco tournament. Leading the LPGA in driving distance (275.9 average), Lincicome ranked in the top 20 for the LPGA's 2009 money list. She won the 2006 HSBC World Matchplay Championship in 2006- and has competed in over 100 amateur events, winning 60% throughout. She will not be seen on the greens without her signature Palette bracelet from Trion:Z. "The different colors allow me to accessorize with my outfits, but more importantly, the technology helps me feel energized every day that I go to the course!" Frequently Asked Questions Q: How long should Trion:Z work? A: Trion:Z should maintain its negative-ion producing properties for many years. Unlike other ion bracelets, Dual loop, Broadband, Single loop necklace are made with a unique material called "Mineon Health™", which has "negative ion producing minerals" woven into the fabric. It will not "discharge" like many metal "ionized" bracelets. Q: What Size Trion:Z should I buy? How snugly should it fit? A: How tight you wear the bracelet is based on personal preference. It is an elastic material to stretch over your hand. Some people like it loose and floppy, some like it to fit snugly and not move during sports. Measure around your wrist using a piece of string or tape measure then purchase the closest size to your actual wrist size. If you like a loose fit, select the next larger size than the actual measurement. Trion:Z Dual-loop, Broadband and Active style bracelets stretch to slide over your hand. Trion:Z Palette Mag-Titan is adjustable. * Necklaces do not stretch but have a "ball-and-socket" style clasp. Q: Is there a proper way to orient the magnets? A: For bracelets, the two holes of the magnet housing should face the skin for maximum penetration. We have added additional magnets to compensate for the Necklace being worn loosely or over clothing. With all the products, there are no specific areas to place the magnets. The products should be worn to fit comfortably and not be too tight, so as to not cut off circulation. Q: Do I wear Trion:Z 24/7? A: Trion:Z can be worn 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It can be worn while showering, but many people remove it when bathing to keep the product dry. Q: Can I wear the Trion:Z while bathing, swimming or surfing? A: Yes, Trion:Z will retain its "magnet technology and negative ion-producing power" even after being submerged, or exposed to salt water. It should be thoroughly rinsed out after being in salt water or in chlorine to preserve its appearance. Q: How do I wash my Trion:Z? A: You should hand wash in warm/cool water using a mild detergent every other week or more often depending on use. Allow to completely air dry. DO NOT put in the washing machine or dryer. Q: Can I wear more than one Trion:Z at a time? A: Yes. Many people wear more than one at a time. If you find yourself feeling lightheaded or overly stimulated while wearing multiple bands, reduce the number that you wear. Q: Is one Trion:Z more powerful than the others? A: All of our products use the same technology. Q: Can I wear Trion:Z while sleeping under an electric blanket? A: Yes. The technology of Trion:Z is different than other negative-ion products, especially compared to metal "ionized" bracelets, and will not become discharged when worn while sleeping under electric blankets. Q: Should I be concerned about wearing a magnet/ion product if I have a pacemaker or other medical devices? A: Any devices or products that are effected by magnets or magnetic fields should be considered when using the Trion:Z. If you have any medical devices or conditions, you should consult your physician before wearing the product. Q: Can I wear Trion:Z while wearing a wristwatch? A: If you have a mechanical movement (a watch that needs to be wound, or automatically rewinds itself) in your watch instead of an electronic movement (Quartz movement or similar), you should wear the Trion:Z on the opposite wrist as your wristwatch. Q: Should I wear Trion:Z on the left wrist or the right wrist? A: You can wear the product on either wrist, whichever is more comfortable for you. Q: Can I wear Trion:Z on my ankle? A: Yes, you will need the appropriate size, which may be bigger than for your wrist. If a bracelet is size is not available to fit your ankle, you may want to purchase a necklace and wrap it around your ankle twice.

05/9/2012 - CARROLLTON, TEXAS-- Baylor Medical Center at Carrollton has received the Texas Health Care Quality Improvement Silver Award from TMF® Health Quality Institute, the Medicare Quality Improvement Organization for Texas.
The award illustrates Baylor Carrollton's commitment to delivering quality care to every patient, every time. The Texas Health Care Quality Improvement Awards recognize hospitals that have demonstrated excellence in health care quality through improved performance on national quality measures. Out of 214 participating Texas hospitals, two were presented with the Texas Health Care Quality Improvement Gold Award. The Silver Award went to 118 hospitals, and 35 hospitals earned the Bronze Award. Hospitals receiving these awards were recognized at a special ceremony in Austin on May 3.
The award acknowledges the hospital for improving care related to acute myocardial infarction or AMI, heart failure, pneumonia and surgical care. These are national health care priorities set by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and The Joint Commission. The award also recognizes that the hospital has undertaken quality initiatives to improve outcomes in patient care and has improved its performance on specific national quality measures. Hospitals qualify for an award based on a composite scoring system, called the Appropriate Care Measure.
"Recognition by TMF® Quality Institute demonstrates our commitment to quality improvement," said Mike Sanborn, president, Baylor Carrollton. "We are always working to improve the quality of care our patients receive, and we're pleased to be recognized for our work in improving quality of care related to heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia, and surgical care."
Hospital size was not a factor in determining who received an award. Hospitals were scored based on data taken from an aggregate rate for four rolling quarters of Appropriate Care Measure numbers. This was based on 12 months of data abstracted from hospital discharge records from October 1, 2010, through September 20, 2011.
"We know that using proven standards of care can save lives," said Anita Hunt, director of health care improvement at Baylor Carrollton. "We will continue to enhance our quality improvement efforts through collaboration with the physicians on our medical staff and TMF® Health Quality Institute to ensure our community can trust us to deliver high quality care."

This is my favorite line about myself because it usually makes people pause.
I am a sixteen year old blind South African. Other than that, na, nothing really interesting about me.
My first Chuck book was Choke. I remember lying on the couch, audio book playing when it just... hit me how I could actually relate to his descriptiveness; His descriptions are usually dark, and with me being blind, I could see, for the first time, the world through someone else's eyes.
So, naturally, it led to an addiction. I got my hands on every novel of his I could. So yeah, I guess he's been someone I could look up to and thank for writing something I could visualize.
Rant over.

In 1913, Navy Secretary Josephus Daniels issued a revolutionary order: no more alcohol on board ships. According to official Navy myth, sober sailors mocked their boss by nicknaming their coffee — the strongest drink still allowed on board — a "cup of Joe."Not sure if I'd be happy with this if I was still in. Same principle as random cup peeing I suppose, but unless things have changed allot they shouldn't be having that much of a problem. It was usually easy to tell the guys (or girls) who really needed to go to Level 2/3 just by being around them and/or smelling their breath at quarters.
A century later, current Navy Secretary Ray Mabus is one-upping Daniels, ordering the installation of breath-test machines on all ships and submarines, as well as on Marine Corps bases. One can only imagine how he will go down in naval lore.
According to Mabus, the breath tests are not intended as a crackdown measure but rather to help identify sailors who might be struggling with booze. The alcohol testing is part of a broader new Navy program designed to improve the physical and mental well-being of those having difficulty coping with the stresses of a decade of war.
"We are not telling you not to drink, if you are old enough," Mabus told an audience of sailors and Marines Monday afternoon aboard the USS Bataan at Naval Station Norfolk. "We are telling you that it is important to keep legal, responsible use of alcohol from turning into a problem."
Mabus made his announcement aboard the Bataan, an amphibious assault ship that returned last month after 322 days at sea — the longest deployment of any Navy ship in four decades.
Also, 322 days at sea? That's just crazy, especially with the wars ending (Iraq) or winding down (Afghanistan). Wonder what they did for all that time?
If the Navy is still doing that 'random deployment length' idea that came up after 9/11, I have to wonder what it's been doing for retention rates. It's one thing to have an extended deployment for a hot war (did 8 months for ODS) but it doesn't make much sense in peacetime/low action occupation time. Not like the enemy can't turn on the news and see at least in general where the ships are, or when they are deploying/returning.

Post subject: Is the Saints biggest need beginning to get blurry?
Dont look now but the Saints have won 4 out of their last 5 games and are on the cusp of turning their season around and getting back to .500 Sunday against the Oakland Raiders.
After a 0-4 start to the season the Saints seemed destined to continue their downward spiral but has since pulled themselves out of the mud and although they still have a tough road to travel to get back into playoff contention, its not completely out of the realm of possibility like once thought.
Throughout this time during the Saints early struggles we have discussed what we felt were the problems on this team. Coaching and personnel wise, we all at one point or another gave our opinions on what should or shouldnt be done. For the most part when it comes to coaching I think we all agreed that this team severely missed Payton and felt that this team needed to run the football on offense. Defensively it was an entirely different story! The play or lack thereof on this unit lead many of us (including me) to lash out at these players and coaches and even go as far as suggest a complete defensive rebuild this offseason.
After going 4-1 in our last 5 games, the Saints (in Vitts return) have committed to running the football more and are slowly coming together in Spagnuolos defensive scheme. It may be early but this team and players seem to be focused and are beginning to believe that a complete turnaround is possible. Whats even more interesting to me is that as fans I find the logically thinking of how to improve this team is beginning to change as well.
Yes, this team (mostly defensively) still needs upgrades but it isnt thought to be as bad as before and which direction and or position to address 1st this offseason is now actually up for debate. Players we may have felt that were as good as gone could actually be playing their way back into the future plans of this franchise and back into the hearts of the fans who love and root for this team. Positions that maybe seemed to be deprived of talent now seem to have solid play and depth.
Lets take a look
Offensive Tackle
Offensively this team doesnt have many holes but the tackle position seemed to be the one on this side of the ball that could stand to have an upgrade. Left Tackle Jermon Bushrod is due to be a free agent this offseason and was struggling at the start of the season. Since then he has really put together a string of quality performances and his solid play is a big part of the turnaround. On the right side Zach Strief was always the weak link along this offensive line. Strief is a solid player with average skills, hes been serviceable at best and I think most fans (if honest) all were just waiting for former 2nd round pick Charles Brown to seize the starting position from Strief but it just never happened, until now. With Striefs injury, Brown got his first start in a long time against the undefeated Atlanta Falcons and turned in a great performance. I know we cant really base the future of the position after just one game but if the light has truly turned on for Brown he gives the Saints an athletic tackle tandem on the edges and solid depth with Strief as the swing tackle. Which once was considered a position of weakness could now be looked at as a position with solid starters and quality depth.
Defensive End
This is the position most of us have turned our attention to as the position in most need of upgrading. While this could still be the case, the recent play of our current defensive ends could change this thinking if it continues. Cameron Jordan had a break out game against the Eagles and proved too many that he can be a pass rushing threat on the left side. Will Smith (if you havent noticed) seems to be getting in better shape as the season goes on and is beginning to create more pressure in passing situations but its what Smith does in the run game that goes unnoticed and is underappreciated. Yes Will Smith has lost a step but hes still a COMPETE defensive end at that is a major commodity in todays 43 defensive front. Many will look to Smiths contract as a reason the longtime Saints defensive end will be elsewhere in 2013 but I dont see it. Smith has always been willing to restructure his contract for the betterment of the football team and I see him doing it once again this offseason. Martez Wilson is getting more and more playing time and it seems Spagnuolo has finally found a role for the ultra-talented physical specimen. While Wilson hasnt really dominated as a base 43 edge rusher, Spags has continually used him recently as a stand-up edge rusher and moved him all over the defensive front with great results. Of course this team could still use a more pure edge rushing defensive end that can turn the corner and dip his hips but he would most likely be a situational player much like Wilson is.
Defensive Tackle
While Sedrick Ellis has played better as of late, I just dont see him in the future plans of this team. Brodrick Bunkley showed in the Falcons game why the Saints gave him the big money this offseason and rookie Akiem Hicks could quite possibly be the Saints most promising young defender. Bunkley and Hicks are the most likely 2013 starters but a 3rd rotational tackle will be needed to replace Ellis if the team doesnt feel Tyrunn Walker cant fill that role I feel he can.
Line Backer
We all got a good look at what this core could be with a healthy Hawthorne and Vilma outside of stud middle backer Curtis Lofton and I gotta say I liked what I saw! Injuries will always be a part of the game but if this unit can keep these 3 starters healthy as well as reserves Chamberlin and Casillas this unit could be one of the better ones in the NFC.
This is the position that still has me concerned. Jabari Greer is having a down year but I havent forgotten about his offseason groin surgery. That is an injury that takes time to recover from and I feel its still a lingering problem he is fighting through. Greer is still our top corner but I feel hes going to continue to have to fight through pain for the remainder of the season with that injury. P-Rob has all the talent in the world but the jury is still out if hes going to be able to adapt to Spagnuolos concepts. He continues to make mental errors (see Eagles game) that cause huge chunk plays for opposing offensives. Hes a physical playmaker and hopefully he gets it but only time will tell. Corey White needs some props! Yes the guy got taken advantage of early in the season but HELLO he is a rookie corner from SAMFORD university! Give the guy a break. All the fan talk of White switching to safety will remain talk too, Spagnuolo loves corners on the edge with Whites physical make up and like it or not but White is slowly getting better and his present and future in Spags scheme is on the edge. Johnny Patrick provides decent depth but in todays NFL you can never have enough cover guys and even with what we currently have, I feel this position more than any else on the roster could use an influx of talent.
Heres the position where the most of us agree changes need to be made but differ in our opinion about exactly what changes. Malcolm Jenkins had a terrible beginning to the season but since has really begun to step up in this 4-1 run. It seems Jenkins finally understands Spags scheme more and more and while hes not there yet, you can see the promise and potential if he ever finally gets there. Still the only knocks on Jenkins still is his lack of ball skills and sometimes shoddy tackling but his versatility athletic ability make him an ideal fit in this defensive scheme and is likely to be a player Spagnuolo will look to build around. Roman Harper is the player that gets more of a love/hate relationship from fans than any other defender on the squad. Lets face it, Harper is pitiful in coverage from 20 to 20 but inside the red zone hes actually quite good. Spagnuolo has found the perfect role for Harper and has blended his and Quddus strength to give him a solid safety rotation. Quddus has very good range and coverage skills from the 20 to the 20 and we are beginning to see him more and more in those situations while Harper is now the teams Nickel linebacker and red zone strong safety. The question in the offseason at this position will be if Harper will be willing to accept a restructured contract that better reflects his new role and allows Mickey Loomis to get everyone under the cap while at the same time making key additions to help the overall unit.
So as you can see I understand this defensive unit is still a long way away and talent is needed across the board but can you honestly look at this roster and the play of these players of late and say for sure that we need to draft a particular position come April or do you feel as I do that when the Saints go on the clock the best available defender will surf ice?

Another Great post Whodat, I still think we need to address a few spots even with improved play.
DT to replace Ellis and move Bunkley to back-up duty, a guy like Hankins or Lotulelei if they are there are really the only ones I would want in the first round, Short if it's very end of the 1st.
DE I don't think Will Smith will be around next year unless he restructures, but even then he's over 30 and we need to look at getting younger. If we can get a guy like Werner or Moore at the top or a guy like Montgomery a little later due to his lack of an elite first step I'd take it easily.
LB-Hawthorne and Lofton are good, Vilma has a cheap enough contract i wouldn't mind keeping him but he's likely going to be suspended all of next season or at least a bit of next season and he's constantly hurt and we need consistency from that position and something to groom for the future. Several players could fit here in the middle rounds.
SS-Quddus is doing great but I would like to add another Safety as Spags does like 3 safeties adn it also lets Jenkins move to CB when people get hurt at that position as well letting Quddus play both spots. This is one I would like to address in FA with Kenny Phillips with Quddus being the main back-up at both spots and 3rd safety.
CB-We need more depth. Greer always gets knicked, Robinson has been pretty good and learning more of what Spags wants, White is coming along, and then Patrick and the rest need to figure it out or get out. Adding another CB could push them to excel or he can step in and take over.
On offense I think an OT is a definite need as well as a center. We need a true center that can actually do something and not just make our Pro Bowl+ OGs look bad. He's serviceable but that's it. We also need a playmaking WR as none of them have really been stepping up. This could also come in the form of a TE as a guy like Jake Stoneburner might fall to the middle rounds and he could be a guy that compliments Graham well with being able to catch and block while still running a 4.5-4.6

I agree with almost every thing you said there T-Raves. I know it's a long shot that Will Smith is back in 2013 and if he isn't then a starting RDE is obviously out #1 need buy here is my thinking on that. If the Saints do not retain Smith, I feel they would look to fill his spot with a veteran free agent and if that is the case and Smith is willing to restructure for less than what it would cost to bring that free agent in then I feel Smith will be back.
Outside of that I agree that depth along the positions of OT, OC, WR, DE, DT, LB, CB & S could all be In play. I feel we will be picking between 16-24 and with that being the case and the needs across the board I just feel players like Jake Matthews, Barrett Jones, Jusin Hunter, Tank Carradine, Kawann Short, CJ Mosley, Jonathan Banks & Eric Reid could all be major players for the Saints depending on how our overall board reads at draft time.
That's why I feel the need is getting blurry... It's no longer "we got to have a this or that" we actually need alot and honestly as much as we all know we need defensive help, I can't put my finger on where this team may go come April.
I think the two senieros that could pop up is the case of the quarterbacks this year. Teams like Oakland, Buffalo & Jacksonville could all be looking for one but will not want to take any of them in the top 10. They could possibly look to trade back opening the door for the saints to move up and get a playmaker or it could go the oppsite route. Say one of those team draft defensive players early then look to trade back into the mid 1st round range to get the QB. The saints could then trade out of the 1st completely and still land a great defensive prospect due to the depth of the class at the top of the 2nd round and aquirie more much needed picks to fill all the holes we have talked about.
Personally... I'd like to see us trade back. I think this draft is deep enough to get a top player early in round 2 and the additional picks would be better for us as acquiring depth across the board to me is better than landing just one quality player.
That's my opinion though.

I would say DE is still the most needed position. You say that Cam Jordan had a "break out game" against the Eagles, but the Eagles have the worst OL in the NFL. Maybe he'll turn it up in the 2nd half of the season, but I still think DE is our biggest need right now.

I would say DE is still the most needed position. You say that Cam Jordan had a "break out game" against the Eagles, but the Eagles have the worst OL in the NFL. Maybe he'll turn it up in the 2nd half of the season, but I still think DE is our biggest need right now.
He was also constantly applying pressure in the Atlanta game.

Yeah Cameron Jordan has developed quite a rip move, its just downright powerful. He's developing into a Justin Smith pass rusher, uses his strength and base to beat OTs who are adjusting to finesse rushers

Hear me out, Of course DE if the first and foremost need, but second I would say OT, since were and injury or two away (knock on wood) from having a eagle Oline. That being said I´m really starting to think that picking a talented TE in the draft over a WR is a better option. Who is our best number 2 TE? David Thomas and Michael higgins from the PRT squad
Who do we have behind Colston and Moore? Morgan and Toon. Also Andy Tanner from PRT squad.
So once again hear me out the Oline protects Brees, and the offense is only as good as the Oline, If the offense is the strength of our team, of course we should improve it right? Secondly could you imagine our offense with Two talented TEs, who would you cover? and what problems would that make with the WRs also.
So recap of course go for the best DE in the draft (Lavar Edwards) LSU
maybe even free agency (Osi)
then address the Oline, (Travis Frederick ) WIS
then get a deadly TE to compliment Grahmn (Dion Sims) MST
just like the titanic, let it sink in fellas

The falcons were double and triple teaming this dude (cam) on almost every play. Go back to the play when his helmet came off. Dude uses his power to split a double team, loses his helmet and still tackles the runner for a loss!
Watch him in goaline defense... Guy is a monster! Jordan will never be a 15 to 20 sack guy but he's a 8-12 per year, stout run defense, bad mama jamma!!!
Better rec! Lol

Anyway, I think our positional needs go in this order:
I have been starting to think a little bit. Our offense is already dominant, but we could really use to get someone else to compliment Colston. Devery and Morgan don't cut it. Lance Moore is a solid player, but we really don't have a deep threat. If we had a legit player to stretch the field, this offense could be lethal. I want to see us take a WR in the mid rounds. Someone really really fast.

Bring back Bobby Meachem at the right price? He's been a total bust with SD, but he was a good deep threat and run blocker for us. Plus he fits the mold of a Sean Payton player.

I tell ya what... Meachem would be nice but hearing the name Bobby, We need to find another young Bobby McCray!!! He played a great role behind WIll Smith for us in 2009!
Will SMith takes alot of heat on here but if you look at what he does in the run game and in goalline defense combined with his leadership and experience I feel we need to restructure and keep him. What we need is the Bobby McCray type that we can put in once we get a lead to pressure the quarterback.

Is Conservative Blogger Ann Althouse Still Waiting for Video Of "Shoot Obama" Question?
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
It's a bit hard to tell which is more troubling, the news that a constituent of Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) stood up at a town hall forum and asked who would be the one to "shoot Obama" and the Congressman didn't miss a beat, let alone condemn the outrageous comment; or the fact that a conservative blogger like Ann Althouse decided to go on the offense and foolishly argue the comment was never made.
Like the Congressman, when faced with an assassination comment, Althouse didn't move first to condemn that kind of dangerous rhetoric. Worse than the Congressman, Althouse lashed out the "leftosphere" for highlighting it [emphasis added]:
Now, as is widely known, it's a serious federal crime to threaten the life of the president, which makes it less likely that the words are as reported in the pseudo-quote. It also makes it less likely that a person of the left was trying to make trouble for Broun (a theory I see some righties are propounding).
Althouse later announced that she'd only believe the "shoot Obama" story if she saw a video of the encounter.
That's fine, except Broun's staff confirmed the "shoot Obama" question was asked. The Congressman has since sort-of apologized for his non-reaction to the "shoot Obama" question, and the Secret Service was alarmed enough by the question to interview the person who asked it. (The elderly man apologized for the what he said was a joke.)
Still waiting for the video Ann?

Expedition Silk Road
Treasures from the Hermitage
1 March - 5 September 2014
From 1 March 2014 onwards, the Hermitage Amsterdam will offer visitors a glimpse of the long-lost civilizations along the legendary Silk Road. Until 5 September 2014, the exhibition Expedition Silk Road will present treasures from the Hermitage: 250 exceptionally beautiful objects, such as murals, sculpture, precious silks, silver, glass, gold, and terracotta, excavated by Russian expeditions in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Visitors will follow in the footsteps of the explorers who mapped the routes of kings and merchants, and of the Buddhist monks who went before them. Like the caravans that crossed this inhospitable region ages ago, passing through oases, kingdoms, and monasteries, visitors will travel the trade routes from west to east or east to west, and discover spectacular ancient treasures along the way. Among the many highlights will be a more than nine-metre-long mural of a deity in battle with predators from the royal palace in Varakhsha (7th–8th century, present-day Uzbekistan). This prized work of art has never left the Hermitage before, but after its restoration, made possible by crowdfunding by the Friends of the Hermitage, it will be on display in Amsterdam for more than six months.
The Silk Road predates the Christian era, and until the fifteenth century, it was the world's largest trade network and a source of unprecedented cultural interchange. It ran from China to the Mediterranean. The Silk Road was not a single path but a network of trade routes spanning a distance of 7,000 kilometres. It crossed the inhospitable and sparsely populated region of Central Asia, with its vast deserts and impassable mountain ranges, and connected great civilizations such as India, Persia, China, and the Roman Empire. The fertile oases in this enormous region, and the kingdoms that emerged there, played a crucial and welcome role as way stations and marketplaces.
State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg
A thousand camels
The more than 250 treasures in the exhibition come from thirteen archaeological sites or regions on the Silk Road, associated with a variety of kingdoms and places. Along the trade routes, an unprecedented interchange of goods and ideas took place, as shown by the monumental murals excavated all along the Silk Road. Buddhism was probably the most important cultural phenomenon to spread by means of these roads, borne from India towards China by wandering monks. Centuries later, Islam began moving eastward along the same paths, replacing Buddhism in many places. Christianity and Judaism were also disseminated along the Silk Road. For instance, an incense burner with Christian iconography and a ring showing Daniel in the lion's den have been found deep in Central Asia.
The largest-scale interchange was the trade in goods. Caravans with reportedly as many as a thousand camels, horses, oxen, and donkeys traversed the region from east to west, from north to south, and back again. Silk was one of the first trade items, and for a while it was even a means of payment. But many other products travelled the Silk Road. Besides silk, the products from China included lacquer or mirrors. From the Mediterranean region in the west came goods such as glass and textiles. Fur came from Siberia in the north, while topaz, emeralds, perfumes, henna, and exotic animals were brought from India in the south. Central Asian cultures, such as the vanished kingdom of Sogdia, produced exquisitely wrought silver for trade or higly esteemed horses.
State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg
The expeditions and the collection
The cultures of the Silk Road were not rediscovered until the late nineteenth century, when Russia, Great Britain, France, Germany, Sweden, and Japan organized the first expeditions. Dozens of expeditions headed by Russian archaeologists set off for Mongolia, western China, and later to what is today the Central Asian republics. On many sites, they uncovered treasures spanning many centuries, from long before Christ to the Middle Ages. In the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, these were presented as ancient treasures of the Chinese Turkestan, Mongolia and the Soviet Union with its many peoples. The objects in this exhibition have been drawn from the vast collection of the Oriental Department of the Hermitage. Finds from thirteen archaeological sites or historical regions form the basis for the exhibition, painting a vivid picture of the diversity and cultural influences along the Silk Road.

Meth pipe in court brings another drug charge
51-year-old Todd Campbell was going into the Cowlitz County Courthouse for a hearing on Possession of Methamphetamine and Obstructing an Officer. As Campbell was going through security, he emptied his pockets, so the contents could go through the X-Ray machine. He was stopped when a security officer noticed a three-inch glass pipe hidden under a piece of paper. The pipe had brown residue that tests showed were methamphetamine. Campbell said he planned to turn in the pipe. He was arrested and another charge of meth possession was added to his list.

If you do not unisntall radeon driver and blacklist it, you will never be able to get it working...You also want to install linux headers.
All this before installing the propietary driver.
[Before I get bashed] - I have searched everywhere (including these forums) and have tried what was suggested but so far nothing has worked for me.
I want to install the ati driver to take advantage of OpenCL on my HD 6950.
I have installed the 64-bit version (i'm using BT5r3 64 bit GNOME) , amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run, with the command
Everything went well. Rebooted, however when i try to open AMD CCC or AMD CCC (administrator ) through system>preferences, nothing happens.Code:sudo sh amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run
Using the command in terminal :
I get the error :Code:aticonfig
Here is what says in /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.logCode:aticonfig: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I have also tried uninstalling, and reinstalling several times using some customized commands found on other troubleshooting guides, with no luck.Code:Uninstalling any previously installed drivers. Errors during DKMS module removal Errors during DKMS module removal Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.961/source -> /usr/src/fglrx-8.961 DKMS: add Completed. Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping... Building module: cleaning build area.... cd /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.961/build; sh make.sh --nohints --uname_r=3.2.6 --norootcheck...... cleaning build area....

DKMS: install Completed. [Reboot] Kernel Module : update-initramfs
Note I am a complete noob to linux, but am slowly learning the commands, research and asking fellow members may be my only way of fixing this problem.
Fix! see below

All this before installing the propietary driver.
Also, it may be necessary to run 'aticonfig --initial' and then reboot. May or may not, but I needed to run it when installing the experimental driver to get Steam running for myself.
Just curious, how can you find out, what is the Ati Driver to be uninstall?
Does BT5 R1 to R3 comes with an Ati driver?
How would you know what to blacklist?
Once before I have and AMD Graphics Laptop, since I had so much trouble, I trade it for and Intel Graphics and problem solved, but some people may not have that alternative
thanks for the info, it may help others
I have got the ati driver working , though not in the best way.
After following some other guides to blacklist the driver, i couldn't boot into backtrack and got some kernel panic error.
Since it was a fairly new install, and I prefer the KDE GUI, I erased the HDD and installed a 64-bit version of BT5r3 KDE.
I then went to system>kpackage kit>settings>edit software resources and checked all the boxes, closed and let it update, then reboot.
(I don't know if this step was necessary, it may be only required to check the propertiary drivers and/or universe/multiverse, but i'd wait for a more experienced user to confirm this.
I then installed the ati driver for linux from the ati website, installed as normal (cd to download directory, unzip and sh ati-file-name.run)
Rebooted and was able to successfuly open ATI CCC.
I am now going to try and get pyrit working with OpenCL.
None of the above was neccessary, see below
I suggest you to unistall the version you have and download from the site: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx
You don't need to install the cataclysm too... If you have problems with the black screen when you try to reboot, use this: "aticonfig --resolution=0, 1360x768", this will change the resolution of the screen, can be used before startx, the command will change to the resolution "1360x768" or other that you put there, at monitor "0".
It worked for me.
Thanks for the reply,
I do remember downloading the driver from that site.
Disregard my fix above, everything was working fine, pyrit would work while importing to the DB, benchmarking, and listing cores but that was about it, everything else was returning errors.
What i ended up doing is following this guide :
This worked like a charm, however I had to use BT5r2 not BT5r3 or else pyrit would return the same errors.
Im on around 75k PMK/s now with Cal++
Nvidia ---- nouveau
ATI -------- radeon
Intel ------ i915
All of them uses the xserver-xorg-video-"any of the driver above" package , ex: xserver-xorg-video-intel...
If you know you have, let's say nvidia, you know you have the open driver nouveau, and so on. To check it out, open a terminal and type:
1. aptitude show xserver-xorg-video-nouveau ----- The output will tell you if installed, and if it was Automatically done, etc. Just read output.
2. aptitude search xserver-xorg-video-nouveau ---- The output will be a lot of files including noveau, at the beginning of each line there is a letter (A, i, etc). Look for the nouveau package and the letter: A=Automatically installed I=Installed
Now that you know that, you have to do 2 things:
1. Uninstall open driver ( aptitude purge xserver-xorg-video-nvidia) if it is not working as you wish, to install the propietary driver, in this case of example we use nvidia, from the web page.
2. Black list the nouveau driver (not the package, the module itself: nouveau) or open driver to avoid any load of module by kernel, since it will cause a video problem. (add "blacklist nouveau" to the proper file)
Now install the linux headers and then install priopetary driver.
I had a very similar issue with an asus ares card. I used the card with pyrit and hashcat
The only issue is the latest drivers messes up the amount of gpus and amount of ram on the GPU. I must admit its been a while since ive used pyrit but i think i get around 40-50k PMKs however when running with hashcat I get nearly 200,000 so if you get a chance have a look at hashcat its already part of backtrack....
I used the Wiki as a guide changing only my driver version and the latest opencl files..
This works on pyrit and hashcat..

Right-Wing Media Ignore Evidence To Claim Obamacare Influenced Virginia Election
Research ››› ››› THOMAS BISHOP
Right-wing media claimed opposition to the Affordable Care Act influenced the Virginia governor election despite polls that show the health reform law was an insignificant factor in the race.
Right-Wing Media Claim ACA Opposition Significantly Changed VA Electoral Results
Fox's Stephen Hayes: "No Doubt" The ACA Contributed To The Election Results On the November 7 edition of America's Newsroom, Fox contributor Stephen Hayes claimed that problems with the Obamacare rollout is causing Democrats to distance themselves from the law. He claimed that the law's unpopularity will have implications on future elections adding "no doubt it contributed to the close margin in Virginia." [Fox News, America's Newsroom, 11/7/13]
Fox Guest Guy Benson: One Of The Reasons That Terry McAuliffe Didn't Walk Away With This" Is Because Of Obamacare. Appearing on Fox News, Townhall.com political editor Guy Benson claimed that the reason Democrat Terry McAuliffe won this "squeaker" over Republican Ken Cuccinelli was because Obamacare didn't allow him to "walk away with this election." [Fox News, The Real Story, 11/6/13]
Fox & Friends Attributes Cuccinelli's Narrow Loss To Opposition Against Obamacare. During the November 6 edition of Fox & Friends, co-host Brian Kilmeade attributed the close result in the race to the ACA, saying "What happened? We started taking a magnifying glass -- or just taking a glance at the disaster which is the launch that is Obamacare." [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 11/6/13]
Fox News.com: "Obamacare Woes Shadow Vote" In Virginia. FoxNews.com highlighted a Associated Press article under the headline "McAuliffe barely wins in Virginia as ObamaCare woes shadow vote":
[Fox News, 11/6/13]
National Review: Cuccinelli Finished Stronger "Because He Was Gaining Traction From The Implosion Of Obamacare." A November 6 National Review blog post by Charmaine Yoest claimed Cuccinelli "finished dramatically stronger than expected" because of "the implosion of Obamacare":
He came up short, but finished dramatically stronger than expected, largely because he was gaining traction from the implosion of Obamacare. Terry McAuliffe doubled down on his support for the failed Affordable Care Act, and lost his double-digit lead. Cuccinelli was closing fast in the last week but didn't have enough time. [National Review Online, 11/6/13]
Wash. Times: "Virginia Election Shows Obamacare Can Be Used As Political Weapon." A November 6 Washington Times article claimed that "Kenneth T. Cuccinelli's campaign showed how much of a weapon Obamacare can be in the hands of the GOP":
"If we had had five more days, or 5 million more dollars, we would have won," said Michael McKenna, a Republican strategist in Virginia, who also said Tuesday's results will be studied by candidates heading into the next two federal elections. "Obamacare is toxic. Democratic senators up in either 2014 or 2016 are probably terrified at what happened in Virginia." [The Washington Times, 11/6/13]
Polls Show Obamacare Not A Significant Issue In VA
NBC News: "Obamacare Mattered In Virginia -- But Not In The Final Outcome." A November 6 NBC report found that opposition to the ACA "didn't ultimately damage McAuliffe":
Did Obamacare play a role in last night's contest? Probably. Was it a decisive one? Nope.
First, let's look at the data from the exit polls:
-- Forty-six percent of Virginia voters said they supported the law, and McAuliffe won those voters by an 88 percent-to-6 percent clip.
-- By comparison, 53 percent said they opposed the law, and Cuccinelli won them, 81 percent to 11 percent. (That suggests that some of the opposition came from Democrats.)
-- While just 46 percent said they supported the health law, that percentage was higher than those who believe abortion shouldn't be legal in all or most cases (34 percent), as well as those who support for the Tea Party (28 percent).
-- And a quarter of Virginia voters said that health care was the ONE issue that mattered the most to them, and Cuccinelli only narrowly won those voters, 49 percent to 45 percent.
Bottom line from these statistics: The health-care law isn't popular, but that unpopularity didn't ultimately damage McAuliffe. [NBC News, 11/6/13]
Wash. Post: Exit Polls Show "Virginia Race Not A Referendum On Obamacare, After All." The Washington Post's Greg Sargent pointed out that exit polling showed that voters largely did not find health care to be a top issue and, of those who did, "only a bare plurality (49-45) supported Cuccinelli":
According to the exit polls, only 27 percent of Virginia voters saw the health law as the top issue, and among them, only a bare plurality (49-45) supported Cuccinelli. Far more (45 percent) named the economy.
It's certainly possible rollout problems shifted the outcome a bit; even some Virginia Dems believe this. But the unabashedly pro-Obamacare candidate still won the race. This, even though an unresolved Obamacare policy question -- whether the state should opt in to the Medicaid expansion -- was a key issue in yesterday's election, one that McAuliffe frequently cited, and even though the voting occurred at precisely the moment when the crush of anti-Obamacare press was about as bad as it can get.
If we must draw a conclusion about Obamacare here, it probably should be that scorched earth opposition to it isn't nearly as widespread or fervent as its foes claim. [The Washington Post, 11/6/13]
Huffington Post: "Scant Evidence That Obamacare Actually Moved Numbers In Virginia Governor's Race." The Huffington Post reported that while Republicans claimed their polling showed the VA race closed because of opposition to Obamacare, GOP polling stopped weeks before the race. The post added that Democratic polling was much more stable showing Obamcare was not a large factor in the race, "it's not clear that in Virginia, Obamacare played the role some Republicans say it did." [The Huffington Post, 11/6/13]
Talking Points Memo: "Virginia As A Bellwether On Obamacare Is At Best Greatly Overstated." Talking Points Memo editor Josh Marshall reported that poll numbers and historical trends dispel the myth that the race was a referendum on Obamacare:
As I said, we're looking at the numbers. The most probative one I've seen so far is from the CNN version of the exit poll. 27% said "health care" was their most important issue. But the two candidates basically split those voters, with Cuccinelli holding a 4 point margin. In my mind that makes for a pretty thin argument that opposition to Obamacare drove this outcome.
We'll keep looking at the numbers because I don't think we yet have a sufficient handle on the data and the question. Send us what you come up with too. My initial sense is that Virginia as a bellwether on Obamacare is at best greatly overstated. And remember, at the end of the night, Cuccinelli lost. [Talking Points Memo, 11/6/13]

For a long time now, I've been worried that I was never going to be back in the classroom. After all that happened to me at CHS, I was feeling pretty burned; for all that the place was pretty laid-back and permissive, I still managed to get into trouble, so it stands to reason that it's highly unlikely I'm going to find someplace where my enthusiasm, passion, and ethics won't be a liability.
I met Jay for coffee this afternoon. He's a teacher at a different charter school (and a hell of a photographer; hit that link and go on over and click around. Leave some feedback; he's looking for some interaction), and the parent of one of my former students. We'd been tangentially in touch since before I was dismissed from CHS; he and I clicked when we first met, he was very supportive of my efforts to kick his recalcitrant daughter in the ass, and we share a very similar perspective on politics, spirituality, and the underlying purpose (and ethics) of education. Anyway, I left a comment on his blog about a particularly stunning portrait he'd posted of Sweet Pea, and a few emails later, we'd set up a coffee date.
I left that hour feeling much better about where I am professionally. He told me a lot of things I really needed to hear (though, let's be clear, I don't think for a second that he said them because they were what I needed to hear; he's not like that at all). He confirmed for me a couple of things that I deeply suspected but really didn't want to admit (I'm over that now, by the way; I'm done telling myself stories to try to make it hurt less). He told me that not only should I go back to teaching, but that I very likely had to; we share a proclivity of spirit that compels us to work with young people, and he recognizes in me the same drive that moves him to do the work that he does. He essentially told me that I wasn't going to be happy doing anything else – that I could do other work, certainly, but that I would never be as fulfilled as I will be teaching. I don't think he's wrong.
Jay also offered me a glimmer of hope that there may well be a place for me in a classroom. I'm going to chase down a couple of contacts tomorrow (and send out a couple of resumes, as well) and see what becomes of it. While I'm not going to force myself into a situation where I have to change who I am to fit in with the culture so much that I don't recognize myself anymore, neither am I going to give up entirely on the idea of being a teacher. The truth is that I miss the kids too much to abandon the work, and I love who I am while I'm doing it.

Coat of arms
As a nation state, Italy has emerged only in 1871. Until then the country was politically divided into a large number of independant cities, provinces and islands. The currently available evidences point out to a dominant Etruscan, Greek and Roman cultural influence on today's Italians.

Coat of arms
Hi everyone,i was hoping someone could help me to find out if my family had a coat of arms or anything else of significance in history.My family name is Massaro,from SanMarco in Lamis,Foggia,i would also like to know where i could find out what my ancestors did for a living,
i cant fid out off my grandparents as they are old and cannot remember too much.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks heaps,Kate.

A family crest may not be for your family but was for another family with your last name so you cannot with certainty come to believe that you have been accorded the titles that go with it. The easy way to know if there is any crest is to go to a commeriocal site like www.infokey.com and there insert the name and a crest information will show up. If you wish to know what your family trade,occupation or busines was at time of entry into your country then go to the entry records where I amsure occupation was the information recorded. I am sure you can contact the www.naa.gov.au for assistance in locating those records. Peter

Re: Coat of arms
ptimber - Have you tried that website with the coat of arms before. cuz every name that i type in, tells me it cant be found. And to put in my email and such. I was just wondering if you have tried this with sucess. I dont want to put in my adress and hope to get som info and just get a bunch of junk mail
Re: Coat of arms
I have a Massaro that married into my family. If you want, I can ask him about his family and see what he remembers. And are you sure your grandparents can't remember much? You don't want to press them, but they can still be good sources of information.
Re: Coat of arms
You migfht want to go to the family history library of the Mormon church and obtain the micorfilm of the civil records for your Massaro family in San Marco in Lamis which should date back to 1809. Perhaps you can trace your family back provided you can read some italian words such as birth,marriage and death. I would suggest bringing an Italian dictionary and you may very well see a notation as to their occupations. There are family history libraries thruout the world. Check Telestra. Peter
Re: Coat of arms
In order to find the library closest to your home go to www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhg/framset_FHC.asp. If you have any difficulty send me your e-mail address and i will send it to you that way. Peter

If you have a valid WEP key you can use wireshark with this key in order to dissect wep-encrypted data packets and by analyzing 802.11 frame's payload (3,4 and 7 layer protocols) you will obtain all the information regarding network cracked by you.
let me introduce first:
Even though I always was interested into networking, security, encryption and the like, I never really got to dive too deep into those matters.
So I downloaded backtrack5 and first used it as a boot disk, shortly after that installed it on a VMWare machine.
So here is my Problem:
For starters I wanted to do something easy and decided that WEP cracking sounds fun.
I built up the following setup:
Netgear Router with WEP40 and MAC-Filter, my Netbook that is connected to this router.
I put a USB-WLAN-Stick (able to do promiscuous mode) into my desktop PC and started backtrack.
After some trial and error I really managed to find out what MAC-Address is allowed (without cheating) and crack my WEP password. Pretty simple when you get the hang of it.
So I told a friend of mine, who is more or less the same knowledge level like me and he was impressed but had a valid claim:
What, if there is no DHCP-Mode but a fixed subnet or even fixed IPs bound to a certain MAC-Address?
I decided to try the easier version first, disabled DHCP and set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, the router IP to 10.100.100.6 and my netbooks IP to 10.100.100.12
But here is where I don't get any further... How can I see what subnet mask is used and what IPs are present on the network from outside, only having the MAC-Addresses and the WEP key?
Hope somebody can help me with this.
If you have a valid WEP key you can use wireshark with this key in order to dissect wep-encrypted data packets and by analyzing 802.11 frame's payload (3,4 and 7 layer protocols) you will obtain all the information regarding network cracked by you.
Scientia ac Labore
hmmm... I'm not entirely sure I know how to do it. I figured, that wireshark would be useful but not exactly how. But I'll try first before I come back to you.
Thanks so far!
as far as i remember in the protocols drop-down menu choose 802.11 and enter your passphrase.
Scientia ac Labore
This is right capture some traffic, enter the key in wireshark and you will find the info you need with regards the network.
This will not nessisarily tell you all the clients on the network, I'm sure there is a way to get this info once you are connected as there are windows app's which do this like look@lan however I have never needed this in BT and would like to know how to do it.
To capture all the clients ip's from the outside would be unreliable at best and will only tell you the wireless clients with airodump-ng.
kismet can differentiate between wireless and wired clients.
Scientia ac Labore
Wireless clients send management frames to keep the conection live so with those clients it doesn't take long to capture traffic from all wireless clients.
Wired clients who are dormant don't put a lot of traffic on the network and onto wireless thus capturing wireless traffic will not nessisarily tell you all the clients on the network, so if DHCP is disabled and you set the ip's and subnet you cannot gaurantee another client does not already have that ip on the wired network.
I have connected to networks where there does not seem to be any clients and a scan of the network after connection has shown multiple clients.
The more traffic in general on a network and the longer time taken the more likely you will see wired clients from a passive wireless scan in kismet or other ap.
Ok, first thing, you have to be connected to the router and have a valid IP (using the WEP and mac to get connected). Check if you did get connection:
iwconfig "my interface"
You should get :
IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"AP NAME"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.4xx GHz Access Point: "AP Mac"
Bit Rate:xx Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm Sensitivity=8/0
Retry limit:7 RTS thrff Fragment thrff
Encryption key:xxxx-xxxx-xx Security modepen
bla, bla, bla......
Use the nmap:
xx@xxx:/nmap -sC -sS -sV -T4 -PN -traceroute -O --osscan-guess 10.100.100.0/24
This way you will get for every machine connected, including gateway off course:
the ip, mac, id script, the hops to each pc and gateway, Operating System, ports info (services listenning in each port, status i.e. open, close, filtered.)
With all this info, well, the subnet mask is obvious, just work it out, with ip's ranges, gateway ip, that is pretty easy...
There are also other tools like Nessus and hping, but I prefer nmap.
best of luck..
Wow thanks for all the replies.
I had exams so I had no time to try it out again, but today I did.
I actually found my IP via the wireshark method.
But there are still information that I could not find with this method:
- SubnetMask
- Default Gateway
And something else is strange: I use the WICD Network Manager, select my network, enter the IP and the WEP key. (just to try if I can enter the network at all)
Then he authenticates and everything but when "Verifying access point association" comes up he takes some time until the message "Connection failed: Could not contact the wireless access point".
EDIT: GF brought her Notebook. Tried to connect to the network with her WindowsXP standard Wifi Manager. Works like a charm. But same problem: How can I sniff the SubnetMask and Default Gateway of the Network?
Whats going on?!
