Try this:
aireplay-ng -2 -p 0841 -c FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF -b [bssid] -h [interface Mac] [device]
I am testing LiveCD BackTrack 4 Beta on a VAIO VGN-SR19VN using an Intel Wireless Link 5100 card.
As I've read in previous posts, this card works perfectly in BT4. In fact, I can perform net scanning and IVs capture. But the problem arises when I try to perform packet injection. I manage to send the authentication query and it says that there is authentication success, but it won't connect to the AP to start injection. I am trying it with my own AP, which uses WEP codification.
Therefore, the problem can't be related to proximity, since I perform the attack next to the router. Besides, my AP does not use MAC filtering and it is not protected again WEP attacks, because once I managed to crack my net using Troppix distribution.
I hope someone can help me with this problem. Thanks.

Try this:
aireplay-ng -2 -p 0841 -c FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF -b [bssid] -h [interface Mac] [device]
And also try to lower the rate:
iwconfig eth1 (or whatever) rate 1MB

Thanks for your answers Handsome-geek and kazalku.
I've tried again, taking into account your advises and that's been the result:
Code:root@bt:~# aireplay-ng -1 0 -a [BSSID] -h [INTERFACE_MAC] -e [ESSID] [DEVICE] 12:15:36 Waiting for beacon frame (BSSID: [BSSID]) on channel 1 12:15:36 Sending Authentication Request (Open System) 12:15:38 Sending Authentication Request (Open System) 12:15:40 Sending Authentication Request (Open System) ... 12:16:06 Sending Authentication Request (Open System) Attack was unsuccessful. Possible reasons: * Perhaps MAC address filtering is enabled. * Check that the BSSID (-a option) is correct. * Try to change the number of packets (-o option). * The driver/card doesn't support injection. * This attack sometimes fails against some APs. * The card is not on the same channel as the AP. * You're too far from the AP. Get closer, or lower the transmit rate. root@bt:~# aireplay-ng -2 -p 0841 -c FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF -b [BSSID] -h [INTERFACE_MAC] [DEVICE] For information, no action required: Using gettimeofday() instead of /dev/rtc Read 415 packets...
This time I've tested it on a public net, that is, no encryption applied.
Regarding to possible reasons outlined:
* Perhaps MAC address filtering is enabled - This is not the case
* Check that the BSSID (-a option) is correct. - It is correct
* Try to change the number of packets (-o option). - I've tried this with different values, but no success.
* The driver/card doesn't support injection. - As was previously tackled in this forum, my card does support injection
* This attack sometimes fails against some APs. - I'm not sure; it might be possible on this AP. But it has failed with all APs I've tried
* The card is not on the same channel as the AP. - As it says on the command line, it seems the channels are the same: 'Waiting for beacon frame [...] on channel 1'.
* You're too far from the AP. Get closer, - that is not definitely the problem
or lower the transmit rate (I've done so).
I've tried to inject IV's on a WEP encrypted net and on an unprotected net and the attacks have failed in all of them.
What could be the problem? I think it has to do with my card/computer because as I've said before once I tried to crack my AP that uses WEP encr.
with a different laptop using an Intel Wireless card and Troppix distribution, and I managed to inject IV's successfully.
Thanks for your patience.

Now when i see screen i am 80% sure that card dosent support injection or you dont have driver for that on Back Track.Try with BT4 beta maybe has driver for injection for your card by default.
If your attack is unsuccessful wich is case, if you dont get handshake with AC( target) then all other steps all pointless.Command which i gave you might generate ARP requests only if you get handshake which isnt in your case.
Try with BT4 and tell me result or get some Usb wireless.
Sorry for previous post i didnt see that you try this with BT4 sorry. Get some good wireless usb adapter.They are not expensive and injection is very good.
Thanks for your patience, Handsome-geek.
I previously read that my card model does support injection in a thread of this very forum which linked to an aircrack-ng forum (I am sorry, I am not allowed to post the URL since I am a newbie member).
After reading the post, I decided to install the Ubuntu 9.04 32 bits on my laptop.
I've installed aircrack-ng on my new Ubuntu distribution and I've tested it against a free encryption net, that is, the public net I use in my home but configured without protection.
This time, this has been the result:
Ok, this time it seems I manage to associate successfully but it won't sent packets.Code:sudo aireplay-ng -1 0 -a [BSSID] -h [MAC_INTERFACE] -e [ESSID] mon0 03:38:23 Waiting for beacon frame (BSSID: [BSSID]) on channel 13 03:38:23 Sending Authentication Request (Open System) 03:38:25 Sending Authentication Request (Open System) 03:38:27 Sending Authentication Request (Open System) 03:38:29 Sending Authentication Request (Open System) [ACK] 03:38:29 Authentication successful 03:38:29 Sending Association Request 03:38:34 Sending Authentication Request (Open System) ... 03:39:04 Sending Authentication Request (Open System) [ACK] 03:39:04 Authentication successful 03:39:04 Sending Association Request [ACK] 03:39:04 Association successful :-) (AID: 1) kraken@kraken-laptop:~$ sudo aireplay-ng -3 -b [BSSID] -h [MAC_INTERFACE] mon0 03:41:11 Waiting for beacon frame (BSSID: [BSSID]) on channel 13 Saving ARP requests in replay_arp-0513-034111.cap You should also start airodump-ng to capture replies. Read 20611 packets (got 0 ARP requests and 35 ACKs), sent 0 packets...(0 pps)
Moreover, after performing injection test with aireplay, I get apparently good results:
So, regarding these results and all the information found in previous entries in this forum and in aircrack-ng forum, my card does support injection.Code:kraken@kraken-laptop:~$ sudo aireplay-ng -9 mon0 04:03:56 Trying broadcast probe requests... 04:03:56 Injection is working! 04:03:58 Found 2 APs 04:03:58 Trying directed probe requests... 04:03:58 [BSSID] - channel: 11 - 'NET01' 04:04:03 Ping (min/avg/max): 0.038ms/47.253ms/118.576ms Power: -80.83 04:04:03 6/30: 20% 04:04:03 [BSSID] - channel: 13 - 'NET02' 04:04:05 Ping (min/avg/max): 6.660ms/57.116ms/71.297ms Power: -82.29 04:04:05 28/30: 93%
It seems we have taken an step further now, because I have managed to associate to the AP. But the problem of packet sending persists. Any ideas?
By the way, thanks a lot for your help.
John Bell
Now you can try command which i gave you in first post or try -5 attack with fragmentation attack but procedure is differnt from standard attack(-3) you also use tool packetforge-ng.
You can see on offensive security site in videos how real masters do it like muts.
Name of video is clientless wep attack i think i also manage to decrypt my Ap by this method.
But as i can see form screen and pw of signal you are far from victim try get closer or dont you try to crack someonelse wep key (just a joke).Try get closer.
Just watcj carefule video and repeat.
Ok, after testing it with Ubuntu 9.04 I've managed to inject successfully.
In fact, in the previous post, I would have probably ended up injecting if I had waited for a little, because it seems aireplay has to read some packets until an ARP packet is captured and then it starts the reply of ARP packets, with subsequent IVs being generated.
One thing I have noticed is that my card (Intel Wireless 5100) uses an specific monitor interface, called mon0, and a general interface, called wlan0, and Ubuntu does not allow
me to use wlan0 with any aircrack-ng program, giving the following error:
so mon0 interface must be used.Code:ioctl(SIOCSIWMODE) failed: Device or resource busy ARP linktype is set to 1 (Ethernet) - expected ARPHRD_IEEE80211, ARPHRD_IEEE80211_FULL or ARPHRD_IEEE80211_PRISM instead. Make sure RFMON is enabled: run 'airmon-ng start wlan0 <#>' Sysfs injection support was not found either.
I have not tested if injection works with BT4 using the interface mon0. Perhaps it would, and that was the reason of the problem.
Anyway, BT4 didn't give me that error, and I could use wlan0 interface.
I will try to use mon0 interface with BT4 to see what happens - when I have time - and I will post the results in this thread, so that people who have had trouble with this card can find a solution to this issue.
By the moment, an effective breakthrough would be to use Ubuntu 9.04, install aircrack-ng (by typing "sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng"on shell) and proceed with injection using mon0 interface.
Thanks a lot to Handsome-geek (and also to kazalku) for their help.

BRONSON - The Bronson Chamber of Commerce is in a rebuilding phase following the exodus of immediate past president Bob Levesque, who is now considered to be "an inactive member" by the new leadership.
Interim Chamber President Cameron Asbell said the first thing he wants to do is to "get things straightened out financially."
Asbell said he accepted the position as interim president during the Christmas holiday.
"I heard that we are $3,000 in debt," Asbell said. "He (Levesque) is supposed to give us a list of who we owe and what is owed."

i used it to boot up to my very ghetto laptop thats been thru a lot lol
it boted just fine so i decided to install it to the hdd i went thru to the country settings and once i went to the partition setting i selected full hdd erase and install as it said it was going to finalize the operations i think either the battery died or it crashed on me. my prev windows is still intact as well so i know it didnt get very far. now when i try to boot up into the live cd i type startx and it go to the black screen and after a minute or two i get this error call to lnusertemp failed (temporary directories full?), check your installation once i click ok it kicks me back to the main screen and sits at root@bt
not sure what to do as this was working fine before i tried to install, hopefully something i can delete thru windows side that is making it think it was installed when its not. also if i type ubiquity at the screen it does nothing. hoping that would have helped me but to no avail!
appreciate the help and would love to get this fixed asap

Feminism | Posted by Chloe H on 05/22/2013
Forced Prostitution During World War II
I recently read an article posted on Yahoo News about prostitution during World War II in Japan. Prostitution is a difficult and controversial subject for feminists, but what most can agree on is that forced prostitution is a horror equivalent to slavery that needs to be stopped. However, the mayor of Osaka, Japan, Toru Hashimoto disagrees. When reflecting on the horrors of World War II, Hashimoto publicly claimed that the Japanese military's forced prostitution of Asian women was crucial in order for the army to "maintain discipline" and provide a release for soldiers risking their lives in battle.
During World War II, Hashimoto's opinion on forced prostitution was probably shared by the majority of military officials and soldiers who were serving, but that obviously doesn't make it right, and …

Calling California's prison overcrowding problems a distant memory, state officials have asked a special federal court panel to release the nation's largest system from orders forcing them to continue reducing a once overwhelming population of inmates.
In court papers filed Monday night and early Tuesday morning, Gov. Jerry Brown's administration asked the three-judge panel to set aside its August 2009 order, saying "continued enforcement of the order is unfair, unnecessary and illegal."
"In the years since the court issued the current population cap order, the state has dramatically reduced the prison population, significantly increased capacity through construction and implemented myriad improvements that transformed the medical and mental health care systems," state officials wrote.
Reviving a legal showdown that already has made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court, Brown said he has launched the legal maneuver because the state's prison system should no longer be under court control. He warned that remaining under the court orders could threaten public safety, cost the cash-strapped state billions of dollars more and "interfere with California's independent right to determine its own criminal justice laws."
The governor also vowed to press to the Supreme Court the state's argument that it has done enough to reform its prisons.
"I'm trying to find a balance point, a middle path that spends the right amount of money to achieve a decent amount of public safety," the governor said.
"We can't pour more and more money down the rat hole of incarceration. We have to spend as much as we need but no more and I think we've hit that point."
Prisoner rights lawyers immediately called the maneuver "frivolous" and the "latest in a long line of efforts" to avoid a court order that has been "upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court."
The inmates' attorneys plan to contest the request and will argue that health care remains dismal in California's prisons as a result of continuing overcrowding.
"The problem is that rather than fixing the problems, the state is just playing a litigation game," said Rebekah Evenson, a staff attorney with the Prison Law Office.
After extensive hearings in 2008 and 2009, the three-judge panel found that California's prisons were so overcrowded that they violated the constitutional rights of the prisoners by failing to provide adequate mental health and medical care for inmate population that at times exceeded 160,000.
Federal Judges Thelton Henderson, Lawrence Karlton and Stephen Reinhardt found the medical care so poor that inmates were regularly dying as a result.
The court ordered the state to reduce the inmate population to 137 percent of capacity within two years, a ruling later upheld by the Supreme Court. That would force the state to slash the number of inmates in its 33 prisons to about 110,00 by this June, and California is about 10,000 inmates away from that target. The judges have previously rejected requests to raise the inmate population cap.
State officials say they've reduced the prison population by 26,000 inmates since October 2011, when the governor's realignment plan went into effect, shifting many low-level offenders, such as probation violators, to county jails, and by more than 36,000 inmates since lawyers on both sides presented their original arguments in 2008. Prison reports show the inmate population at its lowest level since May 1995.
At the same time, state officials say they've established a health care system "with superior care that far exceeds the minimum requirements of the Constitution."
As of two weeks ago, the prisons remained at 149 percent of its capacity, despite the reduction in the overall inmate population. But in court papers, state officials maintain they have spent hundreds of millions of dollars fixing the problems, from an $840 million prison health facility in Stockton set to open in July to a $29.5 million treatment center at Salinas Valley State Prison.
The Brown administration stresses that Jeffrey Beard, the new director of state prisons, has found the inmates now receive adequate medical and mental health care. Beard, former head of Pennsylvania's prison system, testified as an expert on the inmates' side earlier in the legal battle.
"I'm in favor of the governor's request to get the fedral courts to release this case ... California has been for the last couple of years in the middle of the other states when it comes to all the different categories, like medical care incidents in the jail," said Assemblyman Curt Hagman, R-Chino Hills..
San Francisco U.S. District Judge Thelton Henderson, one of the three judges on the federal court panel, said he has met numerous times with Brown in the past year to discuss ways to settle the prison case.
Henderson did not reveal specifics, other than to say the state was making progress but areas of disagreement with the governor remained.
Staff writer Neil Nisperos contributed to this report.

Healthcare Reform Revs Compensation in the C-Suite
This article appears in the November 2012 issue of HealthLeaders magazine.
At one time, compensation may have been a sleepy activity—administrative at its core, but hardly routine. The foundations for compensation are the written and unwritten agreements between employer and worker. At the executive level, both the demands and the compensation tend to be greater, and so it is essential to lay out clear expectations and a commensurate set of incentives.
Incentives shifting from financial to clinical
As the healthcare industry shifts from a fee-for-service foundation to one of value-based purchasing, executive compensation programs are affected, as well. Most enterprises attempt to base a portion of compensation on performance, providing a mechanism for emphasizing one's role in helping the organization meet its objectives. Leaders contributing to the 2012 HealthLeaders Media Executive Compensation Survey indicate that, overall, 80% of their compensation is base salary, while 10% is an incentive payment. The rest is retirement and noncash compensation.
Of the four items mentioned most frequently as being the basis for incentives, two are conventional financial targets—operating margin and financial efficiency. The other two are care performance metrics—clinical quality and patient satisfaction. As one would expect, more executives with clinical responsibilities cite clinical performance as an incentive. But patient satisfaction and clinical quality are among the top four items mentioned by individuals with administrative, operations, and finance responsibilities, as well as those with clinical responsibilities.
"With a move toward more of a value-based system, there should be more of a focus on at-risk compensation, moving toward a system where all of us—doctors, hospitals, and providers—are going to be taking on more financial risk in addition to the clinical risk of caring for patients," says Jeffrey M. Fried, FACHE, president and CEO of Beebe Medical Center, a not-for-profit health system serving Sussex County, Del., from a 210-licensed-bed hospital in Lewes and six other locations.
For this year and next, a financial measure, operating margin, tops the list of objectives on which incentives are based. The second- and third-most mentioned items are patient satisfaction targets and clinical quality targets. Even though 72% of respondents from health systems use clinical quality measures as incentives, 72% of that industry setting also use operating margin. But the ascendance of clinical measures as incentives is not a big-enterprise phenomenon.

eliminating stress
I heard today about a recent study of pregnant women, finding results that even in the womb your baby can tell when you are stressed. I naturally worry a lot, and hearing this even started to cause me more stress.
How do you deal with stress? Do you have any suggestions on eliminating, or at least minimizing, stress?
5th June 2014 06:16 AM #2
Hi ambersummer,
It's true that it is wise to keep stress to a minimum when you are trying to conceive or are pregnant. When you then have children they easily pick up on stress so again I think you are sensible to think about ways to deal with stress now to help prepare for the future.
I find this an interesting subject as I am naturally prone to worry (and did so in my own childhood) but since becoming a mum I have actively learnt to minimise stress. If I am worrying about something then I think through the problem then push it to one side in my mind and, as far as is possible, try not to think of it again. If you are feeling particularly stressed then exercising is a great way to reduce this. Again, this is also important when trying to conceive and in pregnancy.
Studies also show that eating a healthy, balanced diet and avoiding processed foods which are high in sugar also helps to reduce stress. As far as you can, surround yourself with positive people and you will find that you are soon one of these people yourselves.
I personally found that a hypnobirthing course not only helped me to have a positive birth experience it also taught me how to deal better with stress in normal life. The positive birth movement is also excellent at reducing stress to do with pregnancy and birth.
With warm wishes,

Thanks, Glenn. Do you prefer yoga classes or at home? I'm trying to figure out which is best for a beginner.

I used to listen to a good music when I'm stress and read some books. Listening to some music relieves my stress and helps me to keep going all day. When I'm pregnant my friends and my DH bought books for me and I used to read it every day.

I enjoyed going to a yoga class rather than a video at home.
I felt more support and motivated at a class.

Choc milk coolant
Well it looks like my head gasket has gone. Found a large pool of light chocolate coloured fluid under the car. I was at the lights coming off the freeway when suddenly the coolant temp alarm went off. THe needle started heading for the redline. Usually if this happens if I rev the car the temp comes down. Usually this indicates to me to top up my coolant, when I do I don't have this problem. From some posts I have read today that alone indicates a head gasket problem with gas coming from the cylinders and creating a barrier between the thermostat and the coolant, until finally the coolant gets through to the thermostat, opens her up and all is good. However this time I was not so lucky. Fortunately there was a service station just of the lights. I stopped, popped the hood and saw copious amounts of light brown goop coming out the radiator cap... oh crap....
I only lived around the corner, so I let the car cool down, topped up the system with water and limped home.
Flushed the coolant system to see if it was a one off (wishful thinking) drove the car a signifcant distance to get some coolant and radiator flush. Got to the shops and all seemed well. Temp was good and no apparent lose of coolant. Drove home and temp remained good. "Cool" I thought. The I popped the hood again and once again brown goop. It was a smaller amount but still goop. So I flushed the system to no avail.
I noticed that whne running water through the radiator and I squeezed the upper radiator hose I noticed small light brown globules coming up from the little hole in the top of the radiator by thread.
Anyway, I have started to pull things apart and change the head gasket.
I will post photos as I go.
Dawntreader, I have some questions for you.
1. Did you do any recent repair or servicing to your engine?
2. Did you do anything out of the ordinary to cause this?
3. What do you think is the cause of this problem?
4. Is there milkshake in your crankcase as well? Please check your dipstick.
You have a bad case here my friend. There's a damn good chance that its not just the head gasket - copious amounts of milkshake in the radiator is unheard of. I would suggest that you conduct a compression test on your engine. Do you have a compression testing gauge?
Lets wait for the Shaman to chime in as well.
Use a Canon XTS Digital camera please. We want to see some pro shots. LOL... But for real, Mr. R is correct, good pics and detailed info are the best. It is a help to us all. And to you especially. If we combine all our knowledge, info and illustrations, we can put together one heck of an E34 manual / troubleshooting guide right here on this forum. Better than a Bentley.
In answer to your questions
1. Did you do any recent repair or servicing to your engine?
Was working on replacing the Relay Module as i have no power windows, central locking etc. at the moment. It is on order and waiting for delivery from U.S. So have been rumaging about the electrics etc.
I have a leaky sump gasket (or a leaky rear main seal - hope not), went to take the sump off the other day but was unable to get the bit that is attached to the bell housing off as I didn't have a Torx Sockect. Was able to get all but one off without the torx but will need the torx for the last one. So I had to tighten it all back up again. (am waiting for a torx socket to arrive on order)
2. Did you do anything out of the ordinary to cause this?
Nothing I can think of
3. What do you think is the cause of this problem?
I am assuming a headgasket. However I am uploading some pictures at the moment (will add another post shortly) that indicate some dodgy stuff going on around the inlet manifold and the thermostat housing. I will need others guidance for this.
4. Is there milkshake in your crankcase as well? Please check your dipstick.
Crankcase and tappets are clear of milkshake. They look OK. No residue on dipstick or oil cap etc.
Here is first photo
Is there any stuff coming out of your tailpipe? Try to get someone else to throttle up the engine while you stand at the back and look. If you see stuff coming out, well it would be great if you could take a video using your camera phone and post it up here via youtube or something. If you can't no issues, please describe things and maybe take some statics shots. btw that picture was well taken, more shots please, thanks.
Here are some photos with some descriptions on them.
This is an image of a rather dodgy looking house going into the manifold.
This is a picture of the other end of the hose and where it fits on the thermostat housing
This is a picture of the house taken off. Well it was rather brittle and just tore off actually. I will have to unscrew the rest of it.
Sorry the pictureis not as clear. I will refocus the camera on the tomorrow.
This is a picture of oil where I assume it should not be.
Hope these images help. I will post more as I do more.
I would like to think it is not the head gasket (????) but I don't like my chances.
I have seen nothing come out of the back end of the car. She has been running a bit rough lately as I have a blown inlet manifold gasket on number 4. Currently have some ManiSeal on it to stop her sucking in too much air. Will fix that when I get the inlet manifold off. Will probable replace the O-rings on the injectors while I am at it.
I tend to agree with your steps and conclusion. Sounds like head gasket all the way. another tel tale sign of that is greater than usual amounts of white smoke coming from the tail pipe with a distinctive antifreeze smell. Your pics are great. Only sorry you had to take them in the first place. :o((
When you are able, think about replacing all the hoses in your pics, most of them are in bad shape.
Yes, I will replace most of the hoses. The main radiator hoses seem OK, it just seems that the ones attached to the manifold etc are all going to have to be replaced. The trick here is to get them at a good price. Just getting a 2nd hand Relay Module can cost between $150 - $195. But I ordered one on ebay for $54 which includes postage. They like to charge heaps here in Perth for anything BMW.
OK. gotta go get some sleep. I have work tomorrow. Will probably dream about choc milk all night.
did you overfill your engine with oil?
Anyway, yes your hoses do need to be replaced. That they are clogged up is....well i tell you what, can you shoot us a video? Sometimes its difficult to follow when you take close up shots without a zoomed out version showing us the bigger picture of the engine bay area. We are not experts at this as yet so the zoom out to zoom in view helps alot in understanding things. The video would be best. It can be easily done by any standard camera that you take shots with. Select the low res setting for the video feed and proceed.

A compression test will show the leaking cylinders. All indicators appear to be the Head Gasket. Cooling overhaul every 5 years may of prevented it. Here one can find resellers of OE year used engines tested cleaned boxed and delivered for 1,500 you just swap your components on to it. If your lucky you may find another BMW same make and series and replace the engine. The real value in the car is the working parts.
A bad pcv valve will cause oil in your tb. Check that out too. Can you get a pic of the oil on the dipstick? That's a big one. But so far from what I'm seeing, yes that's a blown head gasket.

I am considering getting the engine rebuilt. After 360,000KM's on the clock I may as well do a rebuild, especially if I have a rear main seal leak.
Dawntreader, your pictures are awesome. Please, do share the model of the camera you're using. I'll write to the sponsors and have them send one to everyone who signs up with the e34 forum.
Swop in an m50 or an m52 engine. Don't bother with the rebuild. Turn an expensive repair into an upgrade. M60 engine would be great too if you can get a hold of it.
Maybe its time part it out Put that money towards another BMW E34 M50. The M20s were severly underpowerd for the heavy sedan.
Not the hg
Dawntreader, I've had an engineer review your pictures. His view is that your transmission fluid is leaking into your radiator.
The reason is straightforward - its the colour of the milkshake. ATF is red in colour. When mixed up with coolant, it turns milky brown. Engine oil is either yellow, dark brown or black. When mixed with water, it turns milky black, or milky yellow. And this, I can confirm from painful personal experience.
My engineer suggests that you do the following to satisfy yourself of this diagnosis.
1. Take two transparent glasses. Half fill each with water. Fill up to the brim with engine oil in one glass and atf in the other. Mix it up with a spoon. See what the resulting emulsion looks like. Compare it to your oil spill.
2. Please take a look at the auto transmission dipstick. You'll likely see the same milkshake there.
3. You've looked at the engine's dipstick. No milkshake there.
4. Carry out a compression test on all of your chambers. If the compression readings are within 5% deviation between chambers, then you've got no problems. If there's a cracked head or a bad HG, one, or two adjacent chambers, should show substantially lower readings compared to the rest.
You've probably already removed your HG and can inspect it directly for rupture as well.
Your transmission oil cooler is busted. This is not uncommon for the m20 automatic e34. This will not require you to change your radiator - repeated flushes will clean it out of oil. However, your transmission has given you a potentially expensive repair job. It could be something as simple as replacing seals, it could be something as drastic as rebuilding the whole thing. Expert inspection and diagnosis is required.
You are advised not to drive your car. If you need to drive your car to the workshop as its only a short distance away, make sure the radiator is topped up with new water after being flushed for like 30 minutes, top up your atf fluid through your dipstick (you'll need 2 quarts at a minimum) and drive to your workshop with a beady beady eye on the thermometer all the way. Have extra water and atf oil in your trunk if you need to stop and replenish things. Be prepared for dirty looks as the oil leaks out everywhere.
Please check the situation out and let us know how it goes. Thanks and good luck.
That makes a lot of sense if he indeed does have the automatic transmission.
Is the transmission cooler not located within the radiator? I would think that he would have to replace the radiator if it is as I don't think that it is a separate item that can be removed.
I would also suggest that he have his transmission thoroughly flushed if it is indeed coolant in the tranny fluid as this would have circulated throughout his transmission.
I agree as well (go figure :)) with performing a compression check.
Roberto, I think your engineer friend may have hit the nail on the head. It sure makes sense.
Good luck Dawntrader and let us know how it goes.
Oh Blimey (when was the last time you heard that? lolo). Steve sir is right. There's probably coolant in your auto transmission. You cannot drive this car at all without flushing the fluid first, which is also pointless to do without fixing the main problem first.
I agree with steve sir...the transmission cooler is likely embedded into the radiator itself. The membranes separating the tranny oil and coolant have ruptured. Time to change the radiator.
When you do so, please get new upper and lower hoses, a new wp, thermostat, belts, rad cap and brass bleed screw. This is a big job but its very much in the category of long term wear and tear, so you're only fixing up your car for the next 100-200k anyway. So it should be less painful to swallow and perhaps the transmission only requires a flush and a new filter and new tranny pan gasket - which is always nice to do for your car.
I suggest that you do a fast drain interval after the flush anyway to remove as much coolant as possible from your system - use Dex 4 for the flush and the first fillup, (soak your existing tranny filter in a diesel bath for 2 hours after washing it out as best as you can with water, then reuse the filter after drip drying and soaking it for 5 minutes in tranny oil). 30 days later, drain all the oil and use Dex 6 or synthetic oil in your transmission.
Synthetic is always recommended bro but its damn pricey. However, you can do an extended drain interval with synthetic oil as it has more detergents in it and it is more resistant to shearing and general degradation. But please change the oil from time to time - synthetic oil/lifetime fluid is poorly understood and its foolish to risk a perfectly good transmission in order to save a few bucks.
I also suggest that, after you've flushed your transmission, that you drive with the tranny dipstick off. This will allow any excess water to vaporise and be naturally expelled through the hole as you drive.
You can even customise a vacuum suction tube for the tranny dispstick tube, and dovetail it with your brake booster fitting or elsewhere using an appropriate joint. Test your brakes first after that to see if there's any degradation in performance, then keep the mod if its all ok (if you use the brake booster fitting).
Hi all
Just say the new posts... I run out to the car and checked the tranny Dipstick..... Yep, it's choc milk as well.
Will upload a shot of this as well. Am currently at work so will add more to this post.
I was about to order another engine. Quoted rebuilds were between $10K and $20K, so that won't be happening.
A second hand m20 motor with 141K on the clock is going for $1950.
Oops gotta get back to work.... Run out of time writing this on my iPad
Judging by the fact that i've reduced your costs from like a needless $2k (and with the problem remaining unfixed, which will give you a hernia) to like maybe $500 of long term wear and tear parts that you need to do anyway........I think the least you owe me is a T shirt from TempSan. Make that 2 t shirts, one for my engineer.
Hey, I can try, can't I ?? lolol
the engineer is the man, it makes ALOT of sense what he concluded.
Dawntreader, you're also advised to change your timing belt and timing bearings along the way. So let see that's belts, manifold fuel and radiator hoses, radiator (automatics), brass bleed screw (new radiator will come with a new radiator cap so no need to purchase that separately), water pump, thermostat, timing belt, timing bearings, transmission fluid change x 2 or a full tranny flush, tranny gasket, tranny filter, 1-2 Tempsan original Tshirts. Its quite a shopping list and might take an entire day to execute but it should cost way way way less than a new old m20 engine and needless heartache etc. And as described before, its mostly in the category of a major engine tuneup so you won't feel too bad at the end of the day.
If you've already removed the cylinder head, then of course you'll need a new HG, intake manifold gaskets and new torx style head bolts (these are not the original head bolts that came with the engine, and a highly recommended replacement, pm me for further details if need be), but you'll be able to decarb your piston tops, combustion chamber, clean out your engine block's coolant passages, decarb your cylinder head fully, backflush your fuel injectors, etc....all of which will contribute to a substantially improved performance from it upon reassembly. This is another day's work at the minimum and might take two.
You'll also need to purchase a set of feeler gauges to regularly tune your car's valves/tappets/whatever can't remember. There are many good websites that describe the process of doing so for the m20 in painstaking detail. There are many excellent youtube videos that do the same as well, for the M20 engine in particular too. You need to sort this out along the way as well.
Take a day off from work on a Monday and you'll be able to settle the whole lot above from Friday night to Monday with a fine australian wine and a kangaroo burger on the grill thrown in.
If time permits, do document the process with your camera and post a writeup at some point.
Furthermore, please flush your engine, and switch to the correct 4-claw bosch iridium spark plugs for your car www.boschautoparts.com for better performance, longevity and fuel economy.
Please do update your thread constantly and good luck.
Finally got the right connector for the compression test. Results are as follows:
Cylinder 1 - 165 - psi
Cylinder 2 - 155 - psi
Cylinder 3 - 150 - psi
Cylinder 4 - 140 - psi
Cylinder 5 - 180 - psi
Cylinder 6 - 140 - psi
They are all over the place and far too varied.
I have a large amount of oil coming out the back of the motor. Looks like a rear main seal, which would most likely mean I need a rear main bearing etc. Oil is coming down from inside the bell housing.
Cost to change rear main seal is $650
Similar cost for head gasket.
Need a new radiator. $450 new then add install cost.
Tranny to be flushed - unsure of cost
I put off removing the head until I had the compression test done.
Because of the low pressures, rear main seal and 380K on the clock I think a change in engine is best.
Will get the car transported to the mechanic, cheaper than me getting gaskets and new hoses to just to be able to drive it for them to then change it again.
So as a result, I will put in the new 2nd hand m20 motor that has done 141K

Groom Hits on Pregnant Server, Brawl Ensues
Listen to Wedding Songs Radio on iHeartRadio
(NEWSER) – A wedding bash on a Pittsburgh boat over the weekend went terribly wrong, ending with the arrests of an off-duty state trooper, a local school board member, and the groom himself, with the bride standing forlornly on the curb as they were taken away.
The reported reason for the chaos: Newlywed Mark Williams, 33, allegedly hit on a waitress, touching her side and torso, and tried to pour liquor down her throat—even though she told him she was pregnant, according to a criminal complaint cited by WXPI. The server called her boyfriend from the party, and when the boat pulled up at the dock, he was there waiting to confront Williams.

As Valentine's Day approaches, many begin thinking about buying gigantic heart-shaped boxes of chocolates for their significant others. Most will wait until the last minute, making their purchases two days before the holiday.
But, for folks such as Rick Harris who work in the chocolate industry, planning for the second-biggest "candy holiday" on the calendar will begin about the time happy customers are opening this year's candies.
Harris is president of Salt Lake-based Maxfield's chocolates, a company founded in 1947 at 1049 S. Washburn Street as a small, purely handcrafted operation specializing in pecan logs and Easter fondants.
These days, Maxfields can use as many as 200 employees to produce chocolate products for most of the United States, Canada and even Australia.
The total amount of candy sold by all companies is staggering. According to the National Confections Association, it's an $18 billion industry. Close to 40 million heart-shaped boxes will be sold for Valentine's Day this year.
Surprisingly, about 60 percent of chocolates are sold for Christmas with another 30 percent going on Valentine's Day.
And, according to Maxifield marketing director Lynn Wylie, the day of the week Valentine's Day falls on makes a big difference when it comes to sales.
"If the holiday is on Friday and Saturday, our sales go down," said Wylie, adding that the average man spends about $170 on Valentine candy. "The man usually takes his lovely out for dinner and a movie. If the holiday is during the week, they might not have to go out for the festivities. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are the best days for chocolate sales."
Then there is the debate among chocolate lovers over dark, semi-sweet which I prefer or the lighter milk chocolate. It turns out I'm in the minority.
"Demographics play a role, both with regions and age," said Harris. "Studies show that the coasts tend to like more dark chocolate. As people get older, they tend to like dark chocolate. The middle of the country goes more to milk chocolate."
So, Wylie said that's why was the box of Maxfield's chocolates you might purchase this week will contain 70 percent milk chocolate and 30 percent dark.
Most of Maxfield's chocolate comes from the Ivory Coast in the form of cacao, which are pods that get turned into cocoa and cocoa butter. Harris said the company works with international providers of blocks of either dark chocolate, milk chocolate or white chocolate. A few of those recipes date back to 1947.
"We have our own variation that we have developed with those providers," he said. "We go through a process where we melt the chocolate and temper the chocolate. We get it ready for the enrobing process."
Though much of Maxfield's operation is automated, the packing lines are still not all that unlike the famous scene from the '50s comedy "I Love Lucy" where Lucille Ball works on a chocolate line and can't keep up, so she begins gobbling the chocolates.
"There is a packing line with assorted chocolates that are going into a tin like this with a number of varieties of chocolates," said Harris, showing off a beautiful red, heart-shaped tin. "There is no mechanized way of placing the chocolates in, so we set up the line so the chocolates can be placed in the right positions in chocolate boxes."
Wylie said that the company is proud that, in an era where most things are mechanized, its chocolates are still hand-packed.
Chocolates have a relatively long shelf life, unless they have exposed nuts. That's why when you bite into a Maxfield's chocolate this week, chances are the planning, manufacturing and shipping process has been going on for years.

before u guys start telling me about structure u should know that this was just for fun
and yes, i know the letters r all wack,
hipe- i like your P and R but not really feeling the K. try to make the dip thing on top of your p more suttle like it is on the R. the 3d looks off at the bottum of your P and the bottum left leg of your R but it looks good elsewhere. you know with ur P and R how at the top it has the dips, maybe in the centre part of the 2 letters the 3d should have the dip too if you get what im saying, may look better but i donno, could fuck it up too but maybe try it out.
EWL- i think that looks dope haha its a cool idea for sure.
I'm not digging some of my follow through lines on my bars. It looked a lot better with pencil shading but fuck it. Drips are ugly too, can I get some critz on my letters?
"They say that most people can only dream in black and white
That's why he packs a knife and only reappears at night."
@Emune ^ He has a point. Also for your letters the bend in the bottom bar of the E looks wack. Those extra lines aren't playing into your flow at all, try to position them so they look more natural if ya get what i mean.
@Dank So clean, damn good work.
Freestyle messing around with some new colored pens.

@ Hipe - not really feeling the lines that cut in, otherwise looks solid, on the right track
@ ewal - cool concept, looks like it was fun
@ dank - i feel like you've got your simples down pretty well, why not try mixing shit up?
@ emune - get rid of those lines cutting through
@ cred - looks great for a freestyle, do you even need to be posting in the toy thread anymore?
gotta start somewhere right? i get that this doesn't look great, but i do like the P tilted up and the E tilted down, crits appreciated
mike- ya don't simply move from simps to a wild.
n pay attention to spacing, and work on that S, watch which way your letters lean, keep up all straight tup, or all leaning one way. watch that E its fat, try a upper case, it'll look a lot better with your letters
cred- work on the top of your E, noticed its pretty off in every piece, not really feel in that R too, but it looks good for a freestyle
@sear, both are dope as fuck, props on all them faces in the 1st one and the hand in the corner, shits sick. The S in the second one is dope too
Damn dude lose the arrows and extensions. focus on simplicity. some really dope pieces are just plain letters with a little flair. work on doing the letters in bars first and then cut back with your eraser and finish it off. check 2 pages back for my first post. i've been drawing and painting for almost 6 months and my letters and style aren't crazy. is that piece supposed to say Ghost?
yeah it's supposed to say ghost and i usually write another name(maybe ill take some pics of walls and upload em next days)
my best advice on names is go to google images and type in "ghost graffiti" and if you see a pic of someone else who has done a piece with that name on a wall or wherever and it's better than yours, then you should pick a different name. I've gone through like 3 names already and i thought i had a good one with Goner but i met a dude at a local legal wall who's been painting for over 10 years and he knows the (or one of the) original Goner from back in Philly or something and his advice was change names cause if someone better than you sees you writing the same name as them then you got beef. i haven't seen another Enaml before so that's what i'm writing now. it's a long frustrating process but once you find a good one you feel so much better haha. that guy i met at the legal wall also said try to go for a 5 or 6 letter name cause almost everything with 4 letters has been done. he was writing Woems and he's pretty fucking good.
ah yeah checked it out.
maybe i should go on writing LARF but i would like to do something new
post up a pic if you've written another name. i sat down and brainstormed for a couple hours just writing random combos of letters that sounded like words haha. Woems said his name has no meaning, but it sounds cool so he started writing it. i've always tried to pick something that means something to me but he said it doesn't always have to, but it's up to you man.
I was wondering wtf modles was but now i get it, looks solid seldom.
Dog kennel, shopping carts, theyre all the same hahaha and MN if i ever send out my blackbook for people ill remember to slip in a 5 for you...
ok trying a new vibe its throw inspired is this worth finishing or is it to much like a throw to be considered a piece ?
Hipe- shit looks good man, i say finish it and see how it looks as a piece, if not then you got yourself a nice throw. the K looks kinda small as a whole letter compared to the O and P so maybe stretch it a little bit taller and a little fatter but not too much
1love- that L looks like a Z and the F needs work. the right leg of the A looks too skinny but i'm digging the style of the A and the R. to get some letters down when i first started, i copied fonts off of google but then i changed them a lot and gave them different direction and flow. it helps to have something to copy to get the hang of it but make sure that when you draw up stuff and paint stuff you consider to be original you make your own style. i made the mistake of copying something off of graffiticreator and throwing it up on a wall and i got flamed for it lol. us toys make mistakes though. but keep working on it dude, it has potential. try brainstorming with other letters and combos too, you might stumble across something you like better than Larf

Combat Leftist Abuses and Bias on CampusMore Activism Ideas
Most colleges and universities are not what they pretend to be. In fact, they are leftist indoctrination centers which systematically attack and often exclude ideas and people favorable to limited government, free enterprise, strong national defense, and traditional values. Identify, expose, and combat leftist abuses and bias.

There are no shortage of places to eat in The Loop, but finding a great meal is surprisingly harder than you'd think. Every single one of those salad restaurants can't be good. Fortunately, for the past two years Dennis has been reporting back on all the great finds and places to avoid at all costs while downtown. You'd think he'd eventually run out of options, but he made it all the way through 2013 without any trouble. So let's take a look his most popular Lunch in the Loop posts from the past year.

In the early afternoon of March 30, 2006, a tugboat line snapped in Florida's Tampa Bay, sending the 285-foot steel barge Apache on a collision course with the Gandy Bridge connecting Tampa with St. Petersburg. Fishermen watched from land as deck hands scrambled on the barge and braced for impact. Even from 650 feet away, they could feel the bridge move when the Apache slammed into one of the span's 48-foot horizontal support beams.
As the Florida Highway Patrol rushed to shut down the bridge that carries 45,000 vehicles a day, chunks of concrete, some as large as 3x3 feet, fell from a 30-foot section of the Gandy on to the barge and into the water. Thankfully, no one was hurt.
While the concrete was still falling, the effort to fix the bridge began. The U.S. Coast Guard contacted the Infrastructure Corporation of America (ICA), a private company contracted by the State of Florida to respond to and make repairs when accidents like this happen. In turn, the ICA was on the phone with John Robertson of Standard Concrete Products Inc.
Standard, of Tampa, Fla., designs and manufactures prestress and precast concrete. The producer was formerly known as The Hardaway Co. until a name change in 1996.
"Within hours of an incident, my cell phone starts ringing," says Robertson, the chief engineer at Standard. "We're coordinating with the ICA, department of transportation and the department of transportation's engineer. For them, time is of the essence."
One hour after the accident, the ICA was in the water looking at the damage and they had Robertson on the phone discussing the precast needs of the project. The Florida Department of Transportation was relieved that the barge had not struck a vertical piling in the water, a collision that would have been disastrous. But the damage was still massive. The entire 48-foot support beam needed to be replaced, as well as the road's right shoulder and part of the right lane.
The next day, Standard began manufacturing the precast panels needed to repair the bridge. The concrete was ready to ship the next day.
"We can pour in a morning and have 28-day strength within 24 to 30 hours," says Robertson. Standard uses a high-performance mix and closely monitors the water-to-cement ratio in its concrete to achieve such high-strength concrete in such a short amount of time. "We've spoiled the DOT," Robertson says. "Now, they want it faster each time."
Within five days of the Apache's ill-fated journey, the new 48-foot beam had been fabricated, delivered, and installed. Within two weeks of the accident, the bridge had been completely repaired and the 45,000 vehicles had resumed their daily flow back and forth across the Tampa Bay.
Standard has made a cottage industry out of emergency bridge repairs. Thankfully, the work is infrequent and not a major part of Standard's business. But the service makes the company invaluable to the Florida DOT and to all motorists in the Sunshine State.

After getting started in Miami last week, the super couple has released a video from their rehearsals leading up to the opening date. The footage shows Jay and Bey working with the crew and their dancers and putting the finishing touches on their first-ever co-headlining tour.
The Miami opener is also making headlines after some fan footage from the show leaked onto YouTube over the weekend. Among the videos is one of Jay performing "Izzo" while a montage of celebrity mug shots appear on the jumbo screen behind him. Justin Bieber's mug shot from his January DUI arrest pops up during the song, along with infamous photos of stars like David Bowie, Diddy, Russell Brand and Woody Harrelson.

Canon's new EOS C300 cinema camcorder, which aims to give users the functionality of a video camera with the large sensor of a DSLR. Promising to bring the ease-of-use of conventional camcorders together with the cinematic effect that DSLRs can produce with their interchangeable lens system, the C300 is certainly getting a lot of attention.
This amazing digital cinema camera shoots videos in MXF format, which is known as Material eXchange Format. This format is so complex that only few editing software can handle it smoothly. According to the survey, importing Canon C300 MXF footage into Final Cut Pro with many issues, no matter FCP 6/7 or latest FCP X. Finally, i learned that the perfectly supported codec by FCP is Apple ProRes, so if we convert MXF to Apple ProRes, the FCP will read the files fast and easily.

About Other California
California has nearly 100 American Viticulture Areas (AVAs) and accounts for almost 90% of wine production in the United States. In our section of Other California, we include wines from smaller AVAs as well as wines from the California AVA. Here are a few smaller AVAs you may see on the label:
Livermore Valley AVA, located right outside of San Francisco and home to wineries such as Wente.
Lodi County AVA, an AVA further east of San Francisco and known for its excellent, old-vine Zinfandels.
San Francisco Bay AVA, a sprawling AVA that covers Contra Costa, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties, to name a few. Wine that holds only the California AVA is typically a wine that includes grapes from a number of different AVAs, which leads to the general labeling of the wine as California. This does not denote the quality of the wine, only the diversity of where the grapes originate.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

You mean like a blank space?
Just use sed or vi's search and replace function.
Hi, i have a .txt document which is full of NULL-values, between every character there is a NULL. Is there any way of deleting only the NULL-values?
You mean like a blank space?
Just use sed or vi's search and replace function.
Tiocfaidh ár lá
Yes ive thought f the find and replace function but the thing is, i dont know how to add the value NULL. Its not space or anything, when i open it in notepad+ or even notepad, NULL is a black box that says NULL.
In unix, try this: tr -d '\000' < origfile.txt >newfile.txt
"tr" is used to translate characters. Should work. I've also heard that if you just open the file in vi and then wq! (write-quit) the file, the nul characters will be removed, although I haven't tried this myself. Finally, you could try, again in Unix, dos2unix which will remove dos based characters such as CR\LF. Not sure if dos2unix removes nul characters, but it can't hurt to try.
Good Luck...
Thank you for your answers, i ended up creating a macro i windows that used backspace and the arrows to erase every NULL.
Ill try your sugestion next time.

GSA Releases Wire and Cable Services RFP
April 14, 1997
Contact: Bill Bearden
The U.S. General Services Administration's Federal Telecommunications Service (FTS) has released a Request for Proposals for a Governmentwide acquisition of a Wire and Cable Services (WACS) contract.
This multiple award acquisition will provide a single comprehensive source for the design, engineering, provisioning, installation and removal of inside and outside telecommunications plant and equipment. Capabilities for additional, broad based engineering support and logistics support services to support telecommunications infrastructure modernization projects are also provided under this solicitation. Substantial savings should be realized with these contracts as they will provide one source for a wide variety of infrastructure requirements and feature commercially available, off-the-shelf equipment.
This acquisition was initiated by the Interagency Management Council for Federal Telecommunications and the Wire and Cable Working Group as an outgrowth of the Post FTS2000 Strategy.
WACS is a non-mandatory contract that is anticipated for award in late 1997. It will carry a maximum contractual value for all awards of $2.6 billion and a base award period of 3 years with two 1 year renewal options. Ordering and billing will be accomplished through direct interface with the vendors. The contract will encompass the contiguous United States of America, including Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico and the U. S. Virgin Islands.
The RFP (Solicitation: TQD-JA-97-0001) is available via Internet at http://post.fts2k.gsa.gov. For additional information, contact Joseph Romanelli, Project Manager, at (703) 610-1649, or Jonathan Allen, Contracting Officer, at (703) 610-2830.

|My home with Tami who has now sadly passed on
I am lucky enough to live on four acres 16km from the centre of Brisbane. We have suburbia all around this isolated pocket of 500 four acre blocks. The Government is unfortunately in the process of rezoning us from rural to urban but hopefully I will be able to remain here until I retire from Public Health Microbiology in 12 years time. One of the great joys of being here (apart from the open air, not being too close to neighbours and rural lifestyle) is the many birds and animals who visit. Let me introduce some of them.....
|Ibis, Pacific Black Duck, Crested Pigeon, Sulphur Crested Cockatoo & Lorikeets
|Flowering Red Gum Loved by Lorikeets
|Rocket Frog
|Green Tree Frog
|Sulphur Crested Cockatoo
Visitors not shown also include:
Crow, Butcher Bird, Little Corella, Galah, Butcherbird, Peaceful Dove, White-faced Heron, Pelican (to our surprise! There is a colony at Forest Lake which is only about five kms from here), Noisy Miner, Indian Miner, Pheasant Coucal, Australian Wood Duck, Magpie Lark, Bar Shouldered Dove, Spotted Dove, Rock Dove, Straw-necked Ibis, Royal Spoonbill, Cattle Egret, Sacred Kingfisher, Superb Fairy Wren, Bush Stone Curlew, Willy Wagtail, Australasian Darter as well as some snakes (one downside to being here but I ignore them as long as they do the same to me) and lots of other frogs, possums, flying foxes, a fox (which was only passing through and decided my place was too noisy with two German Shepherds! and there were no chickens for a snack) and a bandicoot.

In the summer heat, Crustic Artisan Breads founder Madelaine Ambrus was already planning her holiday season strategy.
The owner of the Long Beach-based business spent the past few months teaming up with other artisans for gift packages and getting the word out.
"I started preparing in August," Ambrus said, adding that consumers are beginning to prefer handcrafted products. "People are responding well to it. It's really great to see."
With the presidential elections over and Halloween passed, businesses are turning their attention to the next major occasion - holiday shopping.
This weekend, several small businesses on the 200 block of Main Street in Old Town Seal Beach are displaying holiday decor and offering special discounts and refreshments at an annual Holiday Open House.
There, knock knock Toys & Gifts will demonstrate gift ideas from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Meanwhile, Santa Claus will stop by from 1-4 p.m. Sunday.
After years of recession, consumer confidence has been on the rise, and this holiday season the National Retail Federation is forecasting higher sales than the 10-year holiday sales average of 3.5 percent.
Retailers are expected to hire between 585,000 and 625,000 seasonal workers this holiday season, compared with the 607,500 seasonal employees hired last year, according to the federation.
"This is the most optimistic forecast NRF has released since the recession," said NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay. "In spite of the uncertainties that exist in our economy and among consumers, we believe we'll see solid holiday sales growth this year."
Angela Dunton, co-owner of District Wine in the East Village, said she's seeing more consumer spending now than when she first opened nearly three years ago.
"When I first opened, people weren't buying gifts or going out," she said, adding that she has been planning for the holiday rush since September.
Now, customers are booking holiday parties at her business earlier.
"People are looking forward to the holidays," she said.
Visit crusticbreads.com, districtwine.com and knockknocktoystore.com for more information about the businesses.

did you try typing startx?
also did you check the md5sum of the iso before you burned it and did you burn it at the lowest speed?
I have searched the forums and looked at the Definitive Guide FAQs, but cannot answer this simple question.
I used to use BT1 and BT2, it has been awhile and now I see BT4 is out (wow time flies). I burned the iso to a DVD and booted from it, although at the root@bt: prompt, the usual 'bt' doesn't load backtrack. What am I missing?
I did a ls on the contents and got install.sh, so tried to sh install.sh but didn't get any further. I was familiar with BT 1 and 2, but am not so familiar with slax.
Can someone help me get past this and into BT? This seems so easy yet I'm spinning my wheels.
did you try typing startx?
also did you check the md5sum of the iso before you burned it and did you burn it at the lowest speed?
Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious...
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
Anyways, startx did work. After I popped in my old BT2 USB, I remembered startx. I got it working with BT2 so didn't need BT4. What are the great enhancements between the two? More programs loaded, more wifi drivers supported? I haven't played with BT4 yet to know, just wondering.
Thanks for the help
