While in Poland last July, I learned of a film called "Czarodziej z Harlemu," or "Magician From Harlem." Its origins were Polish, but its plot was pure Hollywood: A foreign basketball team imports an African-American man named Abraham Lincoln to help them win a championship. Wackiness ensues, or so I'm told. The visions of "Magical Negro" dancing in my head kept me from seeking out "Magician From Harlem," but its plot was the first thing I thought of when I heard about "The Iran Job." The description sounds like a real-life fish-out-of-water tale crossed with a sports movie. But the film wants to be more than that, and I'm on the fence about how well it succeeds.
"The Iran Job" follows Kevin Sheppard, a St. Croix native who is recruited by an Iranian basketball team to help lead them to the playoffs. I don't believe the team, A.S. Shiraz, hired Sheppard because of his skin color, but I did wonder if he had been the only candidate who accepted. It's 2008, and as Sheppard's relatives point out, Iran isn't the safest place for Americans to be. "The Iran Job" never explicitly describes the recruiting process, but it clearly spells out the grounds for termination: If A.S. Shiraz doesn't make the playoffs, Sheppard fouls out of the league.
I confess to being a sucker for sports movies, the ones with the "Big Game" at the end. "The Iran Job" has all the requisite elements of that cinematic subgenre, but strives for something deeper. A.S. Shiraz is the newest edition to the Iranian Basketball Super League, a promotion of sorts, so all eyes are on them to make history by becoming the first team to reach the playoffs in their first year. Iranian basketball rules allow for each team to recruit two foreign players from any country willing to send them. Sheppard is joined by a Serbian he calls Z; the two room together and are the most experienced members of the team.
The rest of the team is young and untrained. After their first practice session, Sheppard is stunned by their skill set, or lack thereof. "That was the worst [expletive] I've ever seen," he tells the camera. The coach makes him team captain, but Sheppard soon realizes that the fans share his fired-up enthusiasm more than his teammates. Sheppard's tenacity would play better in the league he failed to make after graduating Jacksonville University: the NBA. But here, "You get angry at them, and they play worse," the coach basically tells him. Sheppard changes his captain's plan of attack.
He also has to modulate his temper on the court; his angry tossing of a trash can after a close loss is carried by every channel in Iran and gets him in legal trouble. The fans can be rowdy, with the men on one side and the women on the other, but players are expected to play by the rules with no disciplinary issues. If the NBA had Iran's strict rules of sportsmanlike conduct, half the players would be in jail.
As you'd expect, with Sheppard and Z's help the team gets better. They start winning, and "The Iran Job" follows their peaks and valleys in brief vignettes. It's comical how many games come down to last-minute shots or fouls, yet my sports loving Pavlovian responses sucked me into the suspense every time. The Iranian press and sportscasters take notice, especially of Sheppard, and the team's fan base grows as they march toward a potential playoff spot. Helpful onscreen graphics chart the team's rise and fall during the 24-game season, giving us the names of the other teams and their placement.
The top eight teams in the 13-team league will make the playoffs, a one-game elimination round much like the NFL's. Documentaries don't have spoiler warnings, so I can tell you A.S. Shiraz makes the playoffs. I can further tell you that, in continuing with real-life's parallel track with sports movie cliché, A.S. Shiraz has to face last year's champion and the toughest team in the league, Mahram Tehran. "We could get our asses blown OUT!" Sheppard tells the camera. I wouldn't dream of telling you if they do.
"The Iran Job" is two documentaries in one: The sports aspect coexists with Sheppard's observations of a foreign land. We know enough about basketball for those scenes to exist as shorthand while the Iranian elements are more fleshed out. Like Sheppard, the audience is learning about a country through dialogue and experiences. These two parts of "The Iran Job" complement each other, sometimes essentially so, but there are instances where there's a jarring dissonance. Writer-director Till Schauder nicely underplays the outcome of the Big Game, but also mishandles a crucial news item revelation the movie had quietly been building toward.
Schauder keeps us at arm's length from some of the people who populate "The Iran Job." Sheppard remains something of an enigma the entire film, even though he's talking to the camera. In fact, most of the men merely exist, with only occasional fleeting glimpses into their psyches. For example, Z talks to Sheppard about the horrors of being in Serbia during days and days of bombing, but the conversation is reduced to a few vague lines of narration. Sheppard plays matchmaker for a team member, and counsels another whose girlfriend has dumped him, but neither of these incidents are allowed to blossom into meaningful interactions between teammates.
"The Iran Job" gets much more mileage from its female subjects. Despite being a disembodied voice for most of her scenes, Sheppard's girlfriend does a lot to define herself for viewers. Her discussions with Sheppard and, at the beginning of the film, with us, allow us to get to know her, and to see Sheppard through her eyes. "He tells me everything he's going to do at the last minute," she says, "so that I don't have time to react, or to cuss him out."
We also meet Elaheh and Laleh, two Iranian women and the most interesting people in the film, who befriend Sheppard and serve as vessels of information for us. Allowing them to describe how they feel about their homeland is the secret weapon of "The Iran Job." Their navigation of the rules of male-female interactions, and their independent, outspoken views, keep "The Iran Job" from descending into another tale of The Other as seen through our eyes.
Sheppard is surprised (as are we) to discover how these women, who deal with so many rules about their conduct and appearance, manage to be anything but downtrodden and dejected. Reports of the unrest going on during Sheppard's tenure seem destined to connect with the outspoken passions of Elaheh and Laleh; when they indirectly do, "The Iran Job" does a sloppy job handling it. It's almost a throwaway moment in the film.
Like I said, I'm on the fence here. I've watched the film twice, and both times, I wished I'd gotten either the sports documentary or the life-in-Iran documentary. Combining them seems to give both halves short shrift, despite strong moments in each.

do pink dots work on Trem clad or german outlines?
i need to know what caps fit tremclad that it good for throw ups
uh, id go with a rusto fat or ny thin/fat
I also think pro skinnies would work
i dont like rusto fats and ny thins i can get those off cans at the store and they hurt my fingers i wanna get some really fat comfy caps that i can order off BS that fit tremclad
uh pro skin nis contour around your finger, you thought pink dots were comfy? HAH, they're no match for the pro skinny....PROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SKIIIIINYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!
Astro fats for the win.
Zealous Ink (Black Bliss!) 4 oz Refills Available Very Soon!!
those arent bad tho, lotta shit that flies back tho I just got these, theyre like the blaster cap that was on here a while ago, but smaller and they work pretty well too (it's not a needle cap BTW) it blasts the paint a good 3 feet.
Sorry for teh qualities
this is a nice cap
then I guess its a needle cap, lol, the bitch called it a blaster cap so i as like oooh blasterrr
ok so does pink dots fit on tremclad and what fits on tremclad that good for outline thats not one of those caps that are real small and stab your finger
are you really gonna cry about the cap hurting ur finger? you're out doing graffiti running and climbing and what not, and your only complaint is the cap stabbing ur finger?
caps are caps work with what you got dont bitch, PAINT
pink dots should work.
graffiti is all about experimenting; trial and error, dude try it yourself.
I wouldn't use any hooded caps with tremclad (ie. pink dot grey dot gold dot and so on.)
because the penis thingys on them are smaller than on the caps of a rusto ny fat or ny thin for example. the paint will spray out from the spaces between the can and the penis and get ALL OVER YOU!
this has probably been asked a million times, but is there anyway to unclog caps other then paint thinner (because it didnt work), a guy borrowed some astro fats from me and clogged them all..and they are kinda rare where im at so id like them to be useable again...

Harrogate, Tenn. - Callum Home and Andrew Bayerl both found the back of the net and Lincoln Memorial held off a late onslaught of shots by Alejandro Rivillas, Adam Martin, Scott Schuurman and Anthony Cardenas as the Railsplitters defeated the Tornados on Saturday afternoon, 2-0.
Thomas Kombol made the start in the goal for the Tornados (0-7-1, 0-2 SAC), recording five saves in the match, but Lincoln Memorial (3-2-2, 2-0 SAC) was able to get on the board early as Home placed a goal in at the 10:45 mark, collecting Kombol's save after the header attempt by Nicholas Muth, and drilled the ball into the open goal to give the Railsplitters the 1-0 advantage.
The Tornados tested Railsplitters goalkeeper Michael Watkins frequently in the contest, but he was able to record saves on shots by Felipe Mendonca and Patrick Urmson to keep the shutout intact through the first half.
Bayerl extended the LMU lead at the 57:08 mark in the second half as Mario Pinto tracked down the ball in the right corner and sent the pass across the field to Bayerl who redirected it into the left corner of the net to give the Railsplitters the 2-0 advantage.
Brevard battled back with a flurry of shots, but Martin and Schuurman's attempts both hit the crossbar and Cardenas' attempt was stopped by Watkins as Lincoln Memorial held on to record the 2-0 shutout victory.
The Tornados are back in action on Wednesday, September 28th, as they make the trip to Greeneville, Tenn. to take on the Pioneers of Tusculum College. Kickoff between the SAC opponents is set for 7 p.m.

This is the first production of the pen of Dr. Brownson which has appeared under his own name for several years.
But a truce with poor Brownson, for a moment; his days will soon be over.
Even the Doctor saw a certain kind of merit in it, and Brownson acknowledged it to be quite feasible.
Does this Brownson believe that his readers are all a parcel of ignoramuses?
Captain Brownson hurried to the bridge and presently word was passed to go to quarters at once.
"Marston would be one of the first of them," observed Brownson, lighting his cigar.
Brownson died in Detroit, Michigan, on the 17th of April 1876.
Not that I think it at all likely there can be any contest about what Mr. Brownson has.
The blockade had to be broken, and Brownson was selected as the man to do it.
On first intuition, I could scarcely imagine it was the Rev. Mr. Brownson who stood before me.

Kaskade, Armin van Buuren, Mat Zo & more remix Disney classics
Over the last few years, there are a few Disney movies who have embraced the talent of several dance music artists - but now Disney is taking it one step further with a new remix compilation album.
Those who grew up watching movies like The Lion King and Sleeping Beauty probably would have never dreamed of hearing "The Circle of Life" or "Once Upon a Dream" turned into songs that could be heard at a dance music festival or club, but now, all grown up - they just might!
Disney Records has announced a comprehensive compilation - DCONSTRUCTED - of both classic Disney tunes, as well as some new ones, remixed by a few of today's biggest dance music superstars.

(See full track list below)
Armin says in a press release, "I feel incredibly honored to have remixed an Oscar-winning song - though I didn't know that yet when I started."
Avicii adds, "My first remix of Daft Punk's TRON: Legacy was so long ago, but it was a significant moment of recognition in my career. It's great to be a part of it again, to refresh the track, and to let everyone hear Negin's voice."
DCONSTRUCTED will be released April 22nd wherever music is sold.

Iron deficiency anemiaAnemia - iron deficiency
Anemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells. Iron helps make red blood cells.
When your body does not have enough iron, it will make fewer red blood cells or red blood cells that are too small. This is called iron deficiency anemia.
Iron deficiency anemia is the most common form of anemia.
Red blood cells bring oxygen to the body's tissues. Healthy red blood cells are made in your bone marrow. Red blood cells circulate through your body for 3 to 4 months. Parts of your body like your spleen remove old blood cells.
Iron is a key part of red blood cells. Without iron, the blood cannot carry oxygen effectively. Your body normally gets iron through your diet. It also reuses iron from old red blood cells.
You get iron deficiency anemia when your body's iron stores run low. This can occur because:
- You lose more blood cells and iron than your body can replace
- Your body does not do a good job of absorbing iron
- Your body is able to absorb iron, but you are not eating enough foods that contain iron.
- Your body needs more iron than normal (such as if you are pregnant or breastfeeding)
Bleeding can cause iron loss. Common causes of bleeding are:
- Heavy, long, or frequent menstrual periods
- Cancer in the esophagus, stomach, or colon
- Esophageal varices usually from cirrhosis
- The use of aspirin, ibuprofen, or arthritis medicines for a long time, which can cause gastrointestinal bleeding
- Peptic ulcer disease
The body may not absorb enough iron in your diet due to:
- Celiac disease
- Crohn's disease
- Gastric bypass surgery
- Taking too many antacids that contain calcium
You may not get enough iron in your diet if:
- You are a strict vegetarian
- You are an older adult and do not eat a full diet
You may have no symptoms if the anemia is mild.
Most of the time, symptoms are mild at first and develop slowly. Symptoms may include:
- Feeling grumpy
- Feeling weak or tired more often than usual, or with exercise
- Headaches
- Problems concentrating or thinking
As the anemia gets worse, symptoms may include:
- Blue color to the whites of the eyes
- Brittle nails
- Light-headedness when you stand up
- Pale skin color
- Shortness of breath
- Sore tongue
Symptoms of the conditions that cause iron deficiency anemia include:
- Dark, tar-colored stools or blood
- Heavy menstrual bleeding (women)
- Pain in the upper belly (from ulcers)
- Weight loss (in people with cancer)
Exams and Tests
To diagnose anemia, your doctor may order these blood tests:
- Hematocrit and hemoglobin (red blood cell measures)
- RBC indices
Tests to check iron levels in your blood include:
- Bone marrow exam (rare)
- Iron binding capacity (TIBC) in the blood
- Serum ferritin
- Serum iron level
Tests that may be done to look for the cause of iron deficiency:
- Colonoscopy
- Fecal occult blood test
- Upper endoscopy
Before treatment, you and your health care provider must first search for the cause of your anemia. Next, the reason for iron deficiency needs to be discovered.
Treatment may include taking iron supplements and eating iron-rich foods.
Iron supplements (most often ferrous sulfate) are needed to build up the iron stores in your body. Most of the time, your doctor or nurse will measure your iron levels before starting supplements.
If you cannot take iron by mouth, you may need to take it through a vein (intravenous) or by an injection into the muscle.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women will need to take extra iron because they often cannot get enough iron from their normal diets.
Your hematocrit should return to normal after 2 months of iron therapy. You will need to keep taking iron for another 6 - 12 months to replace the body's iron stores in the bone marrow.
Iron-rich foods include:
- Chicken and turkey
- Dried lentils, peas, and beans
- Fish
- Meats (liver is the highest source)
- Peanut butter
- Soybeans
- Whole-grain bread
Other sources include:
- Oatmeal
- Raisins, prunes, and apricots
- Spinach, kale, and other greens
Outlook (Prognosis)
With treatment, the outcome is likely to be good. However, it does depend on the cause.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if:
- You have symptoms of iron deficiency
- You notice blood in your stool
A well rounded diet should include enough iron. Red meat, liver, and egg yolks are high sources of iron. Flour, bread, and some cereals are fortified with iron. Take iron supplements if you aren't getting enough iron in your diet (uncommon in the United States).

Undersea Eyes
Photograph by Emory Kristof
The National Geographic Society has been funding researchers, engineers, and technology experts since 1888. Here are just a few of the achievements in science, exploration, and conservation that have had a substantial amount of National Geographic funding or a significant degree of Geographic participation.
National Geographic photographic expertise has often evolved in response to scientific needs, especially underwater. Working closely with Bob Ballard and his colleagues at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (owners of the submersible Alvin, seen above), National Geographic's Emory Kristof and his team of photo-engineers refined shipboard photographic processes and designed new imaging systems that played a crucial role in the discovery of deep-sea hydrothermal vents and the strange biological communities surrounding them.
Thinking in Circles
Photograph by W. Robert Moore
Scientists correlating the rings in samples of bristlecone pine are indebted to the pioneering work of A.E. Douglass, an astronomer who in the 1920s realized that tree rings could provide a means of absolute dating. By matching up successive sequences of older and older rings, primarily using sections of ceiling beams found in ancient Native American ruins, he constructed a reliable archaeological calendar dating back hundreds of years. Today tree ring chronologies reach back an amazing 10,000 years.
3,000 Feet Beneath the Sea
Photograph by John Tee-Van
Instead of relying on the uncertain catch from nets and trawls, naturalist William Beebe (right) decided to study deep-sea creatures in their habitat. In 1934, Beebe and engineer Otis Barton (left) climbed into the cramped interior of a two-ton steel observation chamber called a bathysphere and became the first humans ever lowered half a mile below the surface of the ocean. Once below, they observed the surrounding marine life from a porthole.
Cryptic Formula
Photograph by Gianluca Colla
As a biological anthropologist with the Institute for Mummies and the Iceman in Bolzano, Italy, Dario Piombino-Mascali had long studied the mummified bodies found in church and cathedral crypts in his native Sicily. He has now finally discovered how the old embalmers worked their magic: They injected the corpses' arteries with a potent mixture of chemicals—including bacteria-killing formalin, fungi-destroying salicylic acid, and especially zinc salts, which promote petrification.
Gut Passages
Photograph by Stephen Blake
The giant tortoises on the Galápagos Islands may be lumbering but they do get around, Stephen Blake has discovered. By outfitting the great reptiles with GPS telemetry tags, then correlating the timing of their digestion with their movements, Blake has shown that tortoises are among the most prolific seed dispersers in the archipelago, "gardening the Galápagos," he says.
That Dangerous Gleam
Photograph by Richard Hewitt Stewart
Only as an afterthought did Capt. Albert Stevens (right) decide to borrow football helmets from a local high school. On November 11, 1935, he and Maj. Orville Anderson climbed into Explorer II, an instrument-crammed gondola attached to a 26-story-tall balloon that lifted them from their launch site in South Dakota nearly 14 miles into the stratosphere. That dizzying ascent set a manned altitude record that was not surpassed for another 21 years, pointing the way to the space program.
Out There Somewhere
Photograph by Erik Jepsen
The ultra-high-tech HIPerSpace Wall, featuring 287 million pixels of screen resolution, is an apt tool for University of California, San Diego research scientist Albert Lin. His quest to find the tomb of Genghis Khan, hidden somewhere in Mongolia, is being conducted without sinking a single shovel. Instead, Lin is using cutting-edge, noninvasive methods—including satellite imagery, ground-penetrating radar, and remote sensing—in an attempt to locate the famously hidden resting place.
Captain Nemo's Realm
Photograph by Luis Marden
Powered by hydrojets and able to descend about a thousand feet to the ocean's continental shelves, Jacques-Yves Cousteau's revolutionary "diving saucer," which he unveiled in 1959, was the first fully maneuverable research submersible. With its viewports and array of cameras resembling eyes and tentacles, even its inventor thought it appeared out of the underwater gloom like "some great bivalve or strange crustacean."
Seeing by Sound Waves
Photograph by Joe Scherschel
The inventive Harold Edgerton not only sent cameras to the deep, he also devised other ways of "seeing" in the abyss. By the 1960s he was testing sonic boomers in MIT's research pool (above). His side-scan sonar's "sound pictures" culminated in the 1973 discovery of the sunken Civil War ironclad Monitor off Cape Hatteras. And in the 1980s they helped identify the cabin of the space shuttle Challenger lying on the seafloor off the coast of Florida.
Isabelle's Decibels
Photograph by Isabelle Charrier
As part of her studies on how walruses communicate, Isabelle Charrier sometimes deliberately panics their herds. By blasting recorded sounds of airplane engines or motorboats at them, she is trying to determine whether such deafening noises might, for instance, drown out a pup's distress call to its mother.
When the Sun Dies
Photograph by Jay Pasachoff
An eclipse sequence is a familiar sight to astronomer Jay Pasachoff, who has observed over 50 of them from all over the globe. By employing sophisticated telescopes and imaging systems, he has honed in on finer details in the sun's corona than had been previously visible to the eyes of science. Pasachoff has correlated his results with those obtained by specialized spacecraft and increasingly with the observations of exoplanets transiting the faces of distant stars.
Horns Aplenty
Photograph courtesy Martin Nweeia
Martin Nweeia is trying to answer an old question: Just what is the purpose of the narwhal's tusk, a modified tooth that is said to resemble a unicorn's horn? He theorizes that one of its functions is to sense ion changes in seawater that are associated with the formation and melting of ice, a possible indicator of climate change. To find out, his team attached sensors to the tusks of some whales and, to obtain electroencephalographic readings, inserted electrodes beneath their skin—challenging work in Arctic seas.
Lightning in the Deep
Photograph by B. Anthony Stewart
Harold Edgerton, inventor of high-speed strobe photography, spent his summers throughout the 1950s and '60s on the deck of Jacques Cousteau's Calypso, subjecting his devices to the rigors of the open ocean. Though wires might short out and housings crumple, he returned from each season with new and more reliable models, bringing improved stroboscopic technology to ocean science.
Face of the Deep
Photograph by Mike Lombardi
Working at depths below 400 feet, Michael Lombardi and his diving team have been exploring the incredibly diverse deep coral reef off the Bahamas' Andros Island. Although it's the third largest barrier reef in the world, it's been largely unexplored because it plunges abruptly into a chasm called the Tongue of the Ocean. The high-resolution photographs and high-definition video imagery captured by the team represent the first glimpses of a little-understood ecosystem—one that, among other things, might be a source of new medicines.

My cute neighbor Summer made these for me a couple of months ago and I have been hooked ever since. I have a crazy addiction to all things chocolate and peanut butter and these little balls of goodness hit the spot! The recipe makes A TON, so you can share with your friends and neighbors or throw them in your freezer for when you need a little "pick-me-up". 🙂
-1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
-1 lb powdered sugar
-1 cup peanut butter
-10-12 graham cracker sheets (I just used one whole "sleeve" of graham crackers and didn't actually count how many were in there . . . so it is just a guess that there are 10-12 whole crackers)
-dipping chocolate, melted
Put graham crackers in a food processor or plastic Ziploc bag and beat until they are finely crushed. Mix butter, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and graham crackers together in large bowl. Roll into 1″ balls. Place rolled balls on large cookie sheet (I lined my cookie sheet with parchment paper) and stick in the freezer for about 20 minutes. In the meantime, melt dipping chocolate. Once the peanut butter balls have set up, dip in chocolate and place back on cookie sheet. Let set up before serving/sharing with neighbors (but you can pop a few in your mouth just to test them and make sure they are safe to eat- it's a chance that I am always willing to take).
Makes 6-7 dozen truffles.
You can also make these look like a Reese's peanut butter cup- purchase mini-cupcake holders or candy paper cups on a large tray. Pour a small spoonful of chocolate in the bottom of each cup, add a flattened peanut butter ball in the middle, then pour a little more chocolate on top to cover it up.
Here are some more of our favorite desserts:
Homemade Butterfinger Candy Bars
Almond English Toffee
Homemade Microwave Caramels
No Bake Scotcheroo Bars
Snickers Brownie Bites

Okay everyone, last official post! Have a great weekend and I'll see you on the other side!
Nutzumi, Have a read of the thread, you'll find out why!
It's my last day in Envato HQ! I'll be around for the next couple of hours as a staff member. Any questions you'd like to ask me that you've never had the chance to? Shoot! Although nothing too cheeky
@Sevensparks, that title is awesome and I will totally do it!
Thanks guys! I think I have to come clean…. I was being very cheeky in my first post . Although I do love dancing, I'll be joining the Australian Ballet as the Community Specialist on their new digital team, not a Prima Ballerina. Haha, I'm happy to dance in my spare time and watch the amazing ballet dancers leap across the stage whilst I work with their Community. As you guys know, I love working with people and that's my dream.
I think they're going to find it tough though, the Australian Ballet community has some big shoes to fill! I don't know how they can compete with you guys.
Hi GreenixMKTG,
Just letting you know that I've moved this thread into 'item requests'.
Thanks for all your lovely well wishes everyone! As I said, I'll still be hanging around on the forums so this isn't "goodbye"! You are the best.
Hi everyone,
I have some big news, this will be my last week at Envato as a staff member. It's an extremely bittersweet time and I'll miss working with all my wonderful friends at Envato and of course from within the community.
It's been almost 3 years and it's been rad! From all the hilarious forum posts I've read, to meeting some of you in person, it's been a wild adventure and now I'm heading off for a few more. I'm extremely proud of all Envato has achieved since I've been here and there's only more awesome things coming! I'll still be hanging around in the forums (in an unofficial capacity) so it's not goodbye, but if you'd like to stay in contact you can reach me via Twitter. I'm going to be heading to a new position at the Australian Ballet (I have been secretly training as a prima ballerina). My last day is Friday (Australian Time) so after that, there'll be no more Envato Staff posts from me.
I just want to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to all of you.
You've made working with Envato a delight and I'm constantly inspired by what an amazing, talented group of people you are.
Keep on working hard and you'll get those badges and the rewards you are hoping for. Keep positive. Helping each other and sharing your skills will pave your way to Marketplace greatness.
NB: This photo is from Movember last year, which is why I'm sporting this luscious moustache.
Hi everyone,
I'd love you to join me in congratulating felt_tips, April's Community Superstar! Felt_tips has been a long time community member and moderator and is always helpful on the forums. We absolutely love having him as a part of our community! Congratulations felt_tips!
You can read more about felt_tips and the Community Superstar award in this Notes post.

(The new Egyptian constitution has banned the use of terms lacking the proper respect for Allah – may He forbid. At the same time, may Allah forbid, it bans the use of such expressions for all the prophets, the mothers of believers and the four great caliphs.)
That is how it should be. Ugly words regarding a Companion do not become a Muslim. That is very ugly, no matter what the sect or where one is. Were you there at that time? No. How can you have any idea about events that took place 1,400 years ago? Since it is not written in the Qur'an, that is an end of it. They are all Companions in Paradise, insha'Allah. It is disgraceful to speak improperly of the Companions. Stop doing it, my brother. We share the same Allah, the same Book, the same qibla, and we believe in the same prophets and the same angels. Do not create problems for no reason. Why encourage strife? "This is how it was in history." How do you know? Were you there? Stop it. Leave it in the past. Almighty Allah will pronounce on such matters. Or would you presume to teach Allah justice? May He forbid. Seek shelter in Allah and surrender to Him. Obey the Qur'an. Let us be allies in the Qur'an.
(Great support for Israel was again given by delegates approving the party program at the Republican Party National Convention in America. But for the first time, it also said that "Jerusalem is the capital of the state of Israel." This is a major development in U.S. policy and was interpreted as a major step by Muslims.)
My congratulations again to the Israeli government for granting my request (the cancellation of the wine festival planned to be held in a mosque courtyard in Israel). My particular thanks to the Prime Minister; because I sent an Israeli member of Parliament to make the special request they then met with the mayor and the matter was pout right. This is evidence of how humanely and reasonably Israel approaches issues.
The word "sayyid" appears in only one place in the Qur'an, in verse 39 of Surah Al 'Imran. As you know, the Mahdi (pbuh) is a sayyid. The sayyid Muhammad Mahdi. Everyone knows that; it is well known. It appears in the Risale-i Nur and everywhere. It appears in only this one word in the Qur'an. In reference to whom? To John (pbuh). As Zachariah was praying, "The angels called out to him while he was standing in prayer in the Upper Room: 'Allah gives you the good news of John, who will come to confirm a Word from Allah, and will be a leader [sayyid] and a celibate, a Prophet and one of the righteous." The upper part of the mosque. The angels called out to him.

Having the same issue.
Anyone solved this yet?
You are too close to the AP (beacon has power measure of -6).
Scientia ac Labore
Found on Google that it helped people with problems with the awus036hCode:rfkill unblock all
Your either to close as polak said -6pwr or you are to far, + i didn't see any auth associated
1:rerun your commands make sure there right
2:move closer to AP see what happens or farther away from AP see what happens.
maybe this might be of some help.
in my XP your to far and cant associate with AP.
I have no idea why this is showing up unless your AP is turned off << REPEATS FOR 10 TIMES>>
It can not be too far because preamble has the energy that dropped only by -6 from the dc level.
Scientia ac Labore
Are you by chance running this in a virtual machine? Take a look at this link and see if it helps at all
I don't know why, but i get better injection result using ieee80211 driver than mac80211 driver.
realtek 8187 (alfa chipset) is supported by both driver (mac & ieee) and by default my backtrack 5 use mac80211 (the worst one).
To test quickly: "rmmod rtl8187 then followed by "modprobe r8187" (notice there is no "tl" which means ieee80211 driver )
Then if i do a aireplay test on wlan interface: "aireplay-ng --test wlan0" i still get injection working but this time the probe request give me better result. airbase give better result too.
Am i the only one with this kind of behavior ?

With the publication of Alternadad, Neal Pollack became the spokesperson for a new generation of parents. Pollack, a self-styled party guy known mostly for outrageous literary antics, recounts how he and his wife became responsible parents without sacrificing their passion for pop culture. From an ill-fated family trip to the Austin City Limits Festival, to yanking his son out of an absurd corporate gymnastics class, to dealing with the child's ongoing biting problem, Pollack captures the wonders, terrors, and idiocies of parenting today. Alternadad is both an engaging and amusing memoir of fatherhood, and a fascinating portrait of a new version of the American family.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Neal Pollack is the author of several acclaimed books of satirical fiction, including the cult classic The Neal Pollack Anthology Of American Literature and the rock-n-roll novel, Never Mind The Pollacks. A contributor to many magazines, newspapers, and websites, he also keeps a semi-daily blog at www.nealpollack.com. He lives in Los Angeles, with his family.Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission.

Chapter 1
Positively Chase Avenue
In the early 1990s, years before I became a father, I lived in a neighborhood called Rogers Park, on the far North Side of Chicago. The neighborhood held a dozen blocks north to south that were lined with wide, shady trees. Thick-grained Lake Michigan beaches made up its eastern border. But despite its natural advantages, Rogers Park wasn't one of the fancier parts of Chicago at the time. We didn't get the upscale retro diners, loft condos, or bars that catered to Indiana University graduates who seemed to spread throughout the city as if hatched from pods. Instead, the streets of Rogers Park dripped of mild neglect. This made them interesting but not particularly dangerous.
The apartment buildings in my neighborhood looked a little ragged, but you often heard guitars playing from inside them as you walked. No major trend had touched the neighborhood in decades; the people who lived there deliberately defied trendiness. The nightlife tried but failed. Hip-hop DJs, start-up rock bands, and small independent film societies ran up against the same frustrations. No one in the neighborhood could afford to go out, unless they could, and then they went out in other neighborhoods. My cohabitants were poets and drunks, low-end shop owners and itinerant musicians, union organizers and shifty-eyed permanent graduate students who slept on the floor. At the time, I described the people of Rogers Park as the sediment left over after you put the city of Chicago through a sifter. It was a neighborhood for people who didn't belong in any other neighborhood.
I lived on Chase Avenue, at the far northern end of the city, in a quasi-communal apartment with a female construction worker from rural North Carolina named Rachel. We shared the apartment with a thin- fingered graduate student who possessed a bad temper and a cat whose name, Trakl, will be obscure except to those familiar with Norwegian philosophy. I had the room off the living room, which was separated from the rest of the apartment by a plyboard wall painted with a mural depicting lush greenery that somehow also managed to be ugly. Previous residents of the apartment had constructed it during a drunken party, and it looked like something that amateurs slapped up during a weekend fund-raiser at an elementary school. They'd included one nice feature, a window from which I could peek out onto the rest of the apartment, like a guest star dropping in on Pee-wee's Playhouse. I got an actual window view as well, of a parking lot and beyond that a concrete pier and a gray swirl of Lake Michigan surf.
Rachel was a hippie, albeit one who spent her nights reading Russian novels. She hung out with a loose coalition of assorted weirdos. Some of her friends even had children, or were in the process of making children, which I couldn't believe.
Her best friend had a little daughter, about four or five. The girl seemed perfectly happy. She ran around barefoot and dressed like a princess, as a little girl must. But she also colored and read books in a dingy café while her mom smoked cigarettes and did her own homework. Sure, my mom had gone to graduate school when I was a kid, and sure, she'd smoked a lot of cigarettes back when that was socially acceptable in the suburbs, but hanging out in a café? That was crazy. My parents only took us to Chinese restaurants. The little girl's parents attributed her conception to a bottle of wine, a lack of birth control, and a Hawkwind album. They lived in an apartment and were marginally employed! How, I wondered, could people like this possibly have kids?
In Rogers Park, it seemed impossible to be any kind of parent other than an eccentric one. One couple I got to know, Brian and Sue Kozin, owned the No Exit Café, a place that had existed in several shades of brown since 1958 and practically screamed Leo Kottke Slept Here. They raised three kids in a world of folk music, bad poetry, and men with food in their beards who played backgammon and Go for money. I hung out with them from time to time because I liked them, but also because I had trouble believing they were real. I wanted to say, You're parents? But you make your own jewelry and attend Native American coming-of-age ceremonies in South Dakota! It's not possible. My father is president of the Phoenix Rotary Club and eats hot dogs at Costco. That's what dads are supposed to do.
I became friends with a guy named Lou, a Vietnam veteran and computer animation specialist in his early fifties who liked to drink, and had therefore met all the women in the neighborhood under thirty who went to bars. He threw Sunday potluck dinners at his condo, which he shared with a rotating roster of young roommates, a pit bull, and an utterly horrifying hairless twenty-one-year-old cat. The dinners were like a halfway house version of Brigadoon. Every poet, freeloader, harmonica player, and semi-insane drug fiend in the neighborhood showed up, sometimes as many as a hundred a week, only to disappear until the next dinner. This went on for years and eventually led to the cancellation of the dinners because Lou had a taste for the finer meats and couldn't afford the filchers anymore. I went nearly every week and filched as well, though I was one of the few people who at least brought a bottle of wine or a six-pack.
Lou had two children, late-teenage variety, that hung out at the potlucks. His daughter sang folk songs, played the guitar, and sometimes kissed girls. His son dropped in and out of college and seemed to like to hang around his dad all the time. Then there was another son, a little red-haired kid who was ten when I met him. Lou would drive to South Carolina every summer to fetch the kid from the kid's mother. He and the kid did a lot of normal things, like go to the beach and roller-skate and play basketball, but the kid also spent a lot of time at restaurants with bars, where Lou drank beer.
Lou didn't seem like a worse parent, or a better one, than any other I'd known. It had never occurred to me that kids would choose to hang out with their parents. I would no sooner go out drinking with my dad than I would go skydiving with him. And while my folks had always been very generous about throwing parties, I really couldn't imagine them, or want them to consider, smoking pot with my friends.
I grew up in high-upper-middle-class suburban Phoenix. When we moved there, in 1977, my father was a marketing executive for a large corporate hotel chain. His employment situation, and our material circumstances, went up and down throughout my childhood. But we were never forced to abandon our house, which had an unobstructed view of Camelback Mountain and its adjacent two acres of uncultivated desert brush. We had orange, lemon, grapefruit, and fig trees, a kidney- shaped swimming pool, and a cool, inviting back porch. I got my own shag-carpeted bedroom with built-in bookshelves, a desk, and corkboard; it was the size of an average Manhattan studio apartment, with a connecting bathroom that had a glass-stalled shower and Saltillo tile floors. My parents planted us in a pretty exclusive neighborhood. My first Arizona playmate, a neighbor from down the road, was the heir to the Campbell's Soup fortune.
This was a land where parents were named Diane and Ted. They coached baseball, ran bake sales to raise money for the eighth-grade cheerleading squad, and had closets bigger than most people's garages. Several friends of mine practiced on personal tennis courts. On the other hand, the father of the kid whom I'd carpooled with to Hebrew school went to jail for some naughty legal work he did for Charles Keating. The dad of one of my co-editors on the high school paper suffered a similar fate for running a corrupt S&L. Those kinds of things never happened to parents in Rogers Park.
I knew a young Rogers Park woman who'd worked in every café in the neighborhood. When I learned that she had a little daughter, it just seemed impossible.
"But she sleeps with guys!" I said to Rachel.
"So?" Rachel said.
"She has a kid!"
"And what's your point?"
I really was that naïve. But suddenly, parenthood no longer seemed like something exclusive to stable adults in boring suburbs. It seemed like everyone I knew suddenly had kids. Maybe, I thought, a guy like me could become a dad after all.
About a year and two roommates after I moved in with Rachel, her friend Ned came to live with us. Ned had a lot of problems. He got really depressed. Sometimes he thought that vampires were hovering outside the apartment and that they wanted to eat his brain while he slept, neither of which he could objectively prove. He wasn't capable of working a normal job, or of waking up before noon, but he was quite sweet and funny, played bass reasonably well, and could draw brilliantly, though to no end other than filling sketchbook upon sketchbook.
Ned was kind, almost guileless. He was also a dad. Years before, he'd gotten his high school girlfriend pregnant. She'd kept the baby, and he'd left town. He knew his daughter, a little. Sometimes he'd visit his hometown for a week or two and come back with pictures of his smiling girl. He became the star exhibit in a Museum of Weird Parenthood that existed only in my mind. When my parents came to visit, I liked to show him off, as if to say, "See, not everyone lives in bourgeois comfort...

Penalty Phase Begins In Jodi Arias Trial
(Phoenix, AZ) -- The fate of Jodi Arias lies in the hands of jurors. The penalty phase of Arias' murder trial in Phoenix begins today, where jurors will decide whether or not she deserves the death penalty. The 32-year-old was convicted of first-degree murder last week in the death of her on-again, off-again lover Travis Alexander in 2008. Prosecutors said Arias stabbed Alexander multiple times, slit his throat and shot him in a jealous rage.

I originally wrote this article directly following a successful mid-term checkup my wife had with her midwife, when she was pregnant with our second child. I wrote it, as that pregnancy was essentially the most stress-free and problem-free that one could ask for, and resulted in what I'd say is the happiest baby we've ever seen. As such, I had culled from several close friends a list of what they found to be their top items in having a stress-free pregnancy which is as comfortable … [Read more...]

Remove the multifunction switch
Once known as a turn signal or blinker switch, this lever now also controls headlights, high beams, emergency flashers, wipers and washers. No wonder it's called the multifunction switch (MFS) these days. Unfortunately, the MFS has a fairly high failure rate. The two most common failures are a broken turn signal "canceling" mechanism that won't shut off the "blinkers" after a turn, and a partial or complete loss of intermittent wiper control. To fix these two problems, you'll need a shop manual, a digital multimeter and possibly some Torx bits.
On most late-model vehicles, the MFS is located under the plastic covers behind the steering wheel. In that case, you can do this repair in about an hour and save the cost of an hour or two of shop time by doing it yourself. But some older vehicles require the removal of the airbag and steering wheel, and that's a job for a pro. Refer to a shop manual to see where your MFS is located (you can find shop manuals with an online search).
Always disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait 15 minutes for the airbag system to power down before starting work on the steering column. Then remove the screws and lift off the plastic covers.
The MFS is usually held in place by hex-head or Torx screws. Remove them, pull out the switch and disconnect the electrical connector. If the problem is a broken canceling mechanism, you must replace the entire MFS (auto parts store or dealer). If the problem is faulty intermittent wiper operation, use a multimeter to check the connectors on the back of the MFS for resistance (ohms) readings for each setting on the intermittent wiper dial. Then compare them with the manual. If the resistance readings are off, the shop manual will tell you to replace the MFS. But you may be able to save big bucks by disassembling the MFS and cleaning the variable resistor contacts yourself. Search the Internet for "multifunction switch repair." If you can't disassemble the MFS or the cleaning doesn't work, replace the entire unit and reinstall the covers.

Love the cardamon (pale green) color and the light filtering effect of this pleated shade. We had to change our windows and were able to put these up again.View this product
"Great shades"
By from
We have some rental properties and I initially bought these shades for a rental house. When we were remodeling our own home, I went right back to this company and bought the exact same shades, that's how much I like them. Easy to install and they look great. I will return when I need to redo any rental houses or even our own.View this product


text: Designer Imogen Hedges has come up with a great way to reuse yarn from old sweaters. She's built a contraption that unravels sweaters and then winds the yarn back into a skein. I think the best part is the kettle that steams the kinks out of the yarn as it is being unraveled.

i just figured out how airolib works
ive tried to import a 230 mb wordlist,which is the updated argon wordlist without that crap
ok,i know,the argonlist is worse
but i wanna test to import my first list so i use this one because its a little ;D
everythings works fine but when i batch the file it seems that computing the pmks will last forever !!
now the screen shows me that 2625000 pmk has been computed
here the output:
airolib-ng testdb --batch
computed 2625000 pmk in 16147 seconds (162 pmk/s,100000 in buffer).
its seems the pmks has to be tranfered from the buffer to the harddrive and that takes so long
iam not that pro with airolib so i could not figured out what might be the problem is :C
additional here is my system:
intel centrino core duo 2ghz, 2gb ram, enough harddiskspace,its a notebook,
iam using bt3 which has been installed with a sec partition for saves on a 4gb usbstick
so whats the problem ?
is it normal that the process last so long?
oh my god,nooo
if thats true, would a bigger file like 2gb or a raintablefile would really last forever
now iam 100% sure that there is a problem
i checked the status of the db and it seems that the 230 mb wordlist actually has made a 700 mb db !?!
what the .. ??
and there is no end !
the process is still running
over 20000000 pmks computed !
i had to wait 6 hours to get this status !!
so what is going wrong in here ?
please help me because iam so sick of it :C

SALEM, Ore. (AP) -- The Oregon Senate voted Thursday to allow some young illegal immigrants to pay resident college tuition if they were brought to the United States as children, sending the measure to Gov. John Kitzhaber who has promised to sign it.
The Senate's approval in a 19-11 vote comes 10 years after the measure was first proposed. Immigrant-rights advocates erupted in cheers the moment the bill passed, their applause echoing through the Capitol as they congratulated each other, hugged lawmakers and posed for photos.
"I can't believe it finally happened," said Karla Castaneda, a junior at Parkrose High School in Portland whose family immigrated illegally when she was 4. "Hope is with me. I know I will be able to go to college."
Critics said the state shouldn't be subsidizing a college education for people who violated the law and won't be able to work in the United States.
"Some of these folks who believe in the Constitution and believe in the rule of law need to be represented today," said Sen. Tim Knopp, a Bend Republican who voted against the measure.
At least 14 other states allow illegal immigrants to pay in-state college tuition. Colorado's Legislature approved a similar bill this month, and Gov. John Hickenlooper has said he'll sign it.
Illegal immigrants in Oregon pay college tuition at the rate charged to nonresident students, which is about $20,000 more than the cost for Oregon residents.
Starting next school year, the measure would allow students to qualify for in-state tuition if they've attended an Oregon high school for at least three years and lived in the United States for at least five. They'd also have to sign an affidavit swearing they'll apply to legalize their immigration status as soon as they are eligible.
Illegal immigrants can't legally work in the United States, but proponents say President Barack Obama's push for a federal immigration overhaul could create a pathway to citizenship for many. They say children have no control over the decision to immigrate without legal documents.
"It is just plain wrong to hold hostage the future of kids and young adults because of choices their parents have made," said Sen. Chris Edwards, D-Eugene.
The nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Office estimated that the bill would increase the state's revenue by $335,000 over the next two years and by an additional $1.6 million between 2015 and 2017. The Oregon University System estimated that 38 illegal immigrant students would take advantage of the resident tuition rates during the next two years and 80 more students would take part in the two years after that.
Sen. Doug Whitsett, R-Klamath Falls, said he was skeptical of the numbers and expected many more illegal immigrants to enroll.
"Many of the people that we represent have a lot of angst about this bill," Whitsett said. "Many are angry about what they perceive to be the inequity represented by the concept of this bill."
Illegal immigrants would not be eligible for state or federal financial aid, and they'd be subject to the same university entrance requirements as other applicants.
"They're not asking for guarantees. They're not asking for commitments. They simply want a chance," said Senate President Peter Courtney, D-Salem, who first proposed the measure in 2003.

Work Hard, Eat Hard
Discovering my family's favorite recipes
de Amanda French
Acerca del libro
Recording one's genealogy can include more than photographs, dates and stories. I feel a strong urgency to document my family's recipes. If I don't record them, their history will be forgotten. Recipes are the only thing I have from some of my ancestors. They exist on scraps of paper and memorized in the minds of my relatives. Through discovering and cooking my ancestors' recipes, I have become acquainted with them. I feel connected by the foods we've eaten through the generations. When my hands make the same food as my ancestors, I feel like I'm getting to know the people that came before me. These recipes are a gift that I want to preserve before they're forgotten and then pass them onto future generations to experience and taste.
When people cook the food of their ancestors, they're going back to our food roots. Cooking what your grandparents and great-grandparents cooked means the food will be wholesome and simple in nature. The food will be unprocessed and the ingredients will be nourishing. I want to return to this type of cooking, with real sugar, real butter and real ingredients. My Grandpa Dick always told his children and grandchildren, "Work hard, eat hard." My ancestors were hard workers—the salt of the earth—who deserved rich, nutritious and satisfying meals at the end of the day. This book is a record of my experience trying to build a relationship with my ancestors and discover how they ate, how they cooked and what they tasted.
These recipes have been collected from my maternal and paternal relatives. They're in order chronologically, beginning with my father's family, then my mother's family. Recipes are in order from the oldest I could uncover, to the most recent. I hope these recipes, stories and photos will inspire you cook something nostalgic or to discover your own family recipes.

CHINO - With minimal to no campaigning, Andrew Cruz was able to grab a seat on the Chino Valley Unified School board.
The San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters last week reported that Cruz received 12,273 votes during the Nov. 6 election enough to capture a seat on the board.
The librarian at Pinacate Middle School in Perris finished just ahead of incumbent Fred Youngblood, who finished fourth with 12,146 votes.
Cruz said his profession likely helped him get elected.
"Being a teacher, I think that's what made people vote for me. Like, `Hey maybe this guy can relate to us,"' said Cruz, 43, of Chino.
"The way I perceive teachers is they're just like our children. They're middle-class kids that became teachers, and I think most teachers are like American and apple pie. They're ordinary folks."
Incumbent James Na led the 11-person field with 20,373 votes. Newcomer Irene Hernandez-Blair finished second with 14,781 votes.
The top three vote-getters were elected to the board.
Unofficial results after Election Day had Youngblood in third. Cruz said that the report resulted in him believing Youngblood had secured his seat and the election had been finalized.
"I just thought, the day of election - it's done. And I thought, maybe in two years from now, I'll do a little better," Cruz said.
"I was a bit discouraged, too. Discouraged that maybe I could have done something different, maybe I didn't sell myself."
However, the numbers changed when the Registrar of Voters started counting provisional or late mail-in ballots.
"Maybe he had a campaign that we didn't know about. But I tend to think that it was because the people who were handed those ballots didn't have an understanding of who they were voting for. And his name was first part of the ballot and voted for him. That is my impression," said Youngblood, who was elected in 2004 to the Chino Valley Unified school board.
Cruz admits he didn't do much campaigning, and raised just $200 to put up 30 signs in the district, which includes schools in Chino, Chino Hills and Ontario.
The Committee to Re-Elect Fred Youngblood for School Board 2012 spent more than $5,000, according to campaign statements from July 1 through Sept. 30.
"In my personal opinion, people who don't know anything about me probably voted me in the mail-in ballots," Cruz said.
"In my community, people were aware of what I was doing ... I'm being frank with you, I think it has to do with being a teacher."
Youngblood said he had consistently been ahead by 1 to 2 percentage points during early counting.
"And that was kind of strange, because some people work very hard for the results they got and he didn't put in that much effort ...," Youngblood said about Cruz.
"Hopefully, the level of effort to get elected is not a reflection of a desire to serve, and I don't think it is."
Youngblood said he doesn't plan to seek re-election.
"I serve for the voters and when they say no longer, then it is no longer ... " he said.
"My prayer is that the board will continue to be functioning well."
Cruz said the last school board meeting he attended was a year and a half ago.
He will take the oath-of-office on Thursday.
Board members will meet at 7 p.m. at the Chino Valley Unified offices, 5130 Riverside Drive, Chino.
