How many times have you walked up to a system in your office and needed to click through several diagnostic windows to remind yourself of important aspects of its configuration, such as its name, IP address, or operating system version? If you manage multiple computers you probably need BGInfo. It automatically displays relevant information about a Windows computer on the desktop's background, such as the computer name, IP address, service pack version, and more. You can edit any field as well as the font and background colors, and can place it in your startup folder so that it runs every boot, or even configure it to display as the background for the logon screen.
Because BGInfo simply writes a new desktop bitmap and exits, you don't have to worry about it consuming system resources or interfering with other applications.
Sysinternals BgInfo
See Mark's Windows IT Pro Magazine
Power Tools article for a primer on using BgInfo. If you have questions or problems, please visit the
Sysinternals BgInfo Forum.
By placing BGInfo in your Startup folder, you can ensure that the system information being displayed is up to date each time you boot. Once you've settled on the information to be displayed, use the command-line option /timer:0 to update the display without showing the dialog box.
You can also use the Windows Scheduler to run BGInfo on a regular basis to ensure long-running systems are kept up to date.
If you create a BGInfo configuration file (using the File|Save Settings menu item) you can automatically import and use those settings on other systems by adding the /I<path> or /iq<path> command line option.
When you run BGInfo it shows you the appearance and content of its default desktop background. If left untouched it will automatically apply these settings and exit after its 10 second count-down timer expires.
Selecting any button or menu item will disable the timer, allowing you to customize the layout and content of the background information.
If you want BGInfo to edit or use a configuration stored in a file (instead of the default configuration which is stored in the registry) specify the name of the file on the command line:BGInfo MyConfig.bgi
Fields: Selects what information appears on the desktop, and the order in which it is displayed. For networking fields (NIC, IP, MAC, etc.) a separate entry is created for each network card on the system. Use the Custom button to add special information you define yourself.
Background: Selects the color and/or wallpaper to use for the background. If you select the Copy existing settings option then BGInfo will use whatever information is currently selected by the logged on user. This option allows end users to personalize their desktop while still displaying the BGInfo information.
Position: Selects the location on the screen at which to place the text. If some items are very long (for example some network card names) you can use the Limit Lines to item to wrap them. The Compensate for Taskbar position checkbox adjusts the position of the text to ensure that it is not covered by the Taskbar. The Multiple Monitor Configuration button allows you to specify how multiple monitors attached to a single console should be handled.
Desktops: Selects which desktops are updated when the configuration is applied. By default only the User Desktop wallpaper is changed. Enabling the Logon Desktop for Console users option specifies that the wallpaper should be displayed on the logon desktop that is presented before anyone has logged onto the system. On Windows 95/98/ME systems the same desktop is used for users and the login screen, so this option has no effect. Enabling the Logon Desktop for Terminal Services users option specifies that the wallpaper should be displayed on the Terminal Services login screen. This option is useful only on servers running Terminal Services.
Preview: Displays the background as it will appear when applied to your system.
These are options that control how the bitmap is produced, where it is located and how to import/export settings.
File | Open: Opens a BGInfo configuration file.
File | Save As: Saves a copy of the current BGInfo configuration to a new file. Once created, you can have BGInfo use the file later by simply specifying it on the command line, or by using File|Open menu option.
File|Reset Default Settings: Removes all configuration information and resets BGInfo to its default (install-time) state. Use this if you can't determine how to undo a change, or if BGInfo becomes confused about the current state of the bitmap.
File|Database: Specifies a .XLS, .MDB or .TXT file or a connection string to an SQL database that BGInfo should use to store the information it generates. Use this to collect a history of one or more systems on your network. You must ensure that all systems that access the file have the same version of MDAC and JET database support installed. It is recommended you use at least MDAC 2.5 and JET 4.0. If specifying an XLS file the file must already exist.
If you prefer to have BGInfo update the database without modifying the user's wallpaper you can unselect all desktops in the Desktops dialog; BGInfo will still update the database.
Bitmap|256 Colors: Limits the bitmap to 256 colors. This option produces a smaller bitmap.
Bitmap|High Color/True Color: Creates a 16-bit or 24-bit color bitmap.
Bitmap|Match Display: Creates a bitmap with color depth matching that of the display. Because the bitmap generated by BGInfo is not updated when a user changes the display's color depth you may see unexpected results (especially dithering of the text and background) with some combinations of bitmap and display depth.
Bitmap|Location: Specifies the location to place the output bitmap file. On Terminal Services servers the bitmap should be placed in a location that is unique to each user.
Edit|Insert Image: Allows you to insert a bitmap image into the output. Because BGInfo's configuration information is stored in the registry and Windows limits the size of registry values you may encounter errors when inserting larger images. On Windows 9x/Me systems the limit is 16K, while on NT/2000/XP systems the limit is 64K.

The 2011 NFL Cheerleader Kickoff Awards
Five months' worth of signings? Yeah, that's gonna happen in a couple days. Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Plaxico Burress — they're among the 450-plus unrestricted free agents out there for the picking, along with slightly less dramatic humans like cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, former Super Bowl MVP Santonio Holmes, and Vikings star defensive end Ray Edwards. (That's not counting guys like Kevin Kolb, Carson Palmer, Reggie Bush, and Vince Young who might get released or traded.) It's kinda like a fantasy draft, only real. Starts Friday at six, sources say.
Yes, again. And this backing-up-Vick-in-Philly thing isn't just some rumor. With shortened training camps, rookie QBs, and the whole roster scramble, an old man in his Wranglers is sounding a lot more appealing to a lot of GMs than teaching a kid an offense from scratch... for now.

Global Furniture Warranty
A History of SuccessFounded in Canada in 1966, The Global Group is one of the largest manufacturers and marketers of quality business furniture in the world. Our facilities include more than 40 just-in-time manufacturing and product assembly plants, plus offices, showrooms and distribution facilities.
The EnvironmentAt Global we're proud of our pledge to maintain a clean environment. We have long established environmental programs throughout our plants and offices to sustain our 'earth friendly' commitment. The people at Global take every opportunity to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
Limited Lifetime WarrantyGlobal warrants its products to be free from defects in material and workmanship for as long as the original end user owns the product or 25 years in the case of a corporate end user. Some time limits apply to certain parts and components. For detailed conditions, refer to the Global current published Price List.
This warranty covers the following product categories:
Global Environmental InformationLong before governments issued regulations protecting the environment and many years before the introduction of ISO 14001, (The International Environmental Standard) the people at Global were demonstrating a profound respect for the environment through a series of practical and innovative activities.
Our motive behind these activities was as straightforward then as it is today. Simply speaking, it is the right thing to do.
Some of our environmental initiatives include:
At Global, caring about the environment isn't just an impulse, it's a mandate.
Chrome PlatingGlobal's chrome plating facility is a showcase for environmentally-friendly waste management.
Not only is this facility fully automated to control water purity, all chemicals are monitored by a micro-processor. This ensures minimum waste and a consistent bath chemistry. A consistent bath chemistry maximizes the life of the solution, minimizes contaminants and keeps the discharge well below recommended limits. Continuous monitoring by highly trained staff and state-of-the-art electronic equipment keep mechanical and chemical solutions at optimal operating levels.
Why is this important? The water that comes out at the end of our plating process is as clean as the water that comes from your taps.
ChlorofluorocarbonsAs you know, a protective filter known as the ozone layer surrounds the earth and acts as a barrier from the sun's harmful rays. Almost every spring since 1982, massive holes in the ozone are detected in the Antarctic. Scientists now agree that Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's) have been a major contributor to this hole and the further depletion of the ozone layer. In response to this impending crisis, the Canadian government's "Montreal Protocol" established 1996 as the deadline for the elimination of the use of CFC's and was adopted internationally as a target date.
At Global, we were cheering the government's efforts. Why? Because we had already recognized the dangerous environmental impact of CFC's. As a matter of fact, we had eliminated their use from our foam molding plant in 1993! In doing so, we were one of the first manufacturers of molded foam in North America to institute ozone-friendly processes.
At Global, we continue to lead the way with new earth-friendly technologies.
Metal FinishingSince 1991, Global has used a powder paint coating process to produce beautiful finishes on chair and panel frames, filing products and storage cabinets. Powder coating provides a high quality finish with excellent chemical and corrosion resistance. It is also environmentally friendly.
PackagingWe think about protecting the environment even while we're protecting our products!
All companies use shipping cartons and various kinds of packaging to protect their products during transport and storage … and Global is no exception. At Global, however, we are committed to using only recycled cardboard for our shipping cartons. To be classified as "recycled," according to Environment Canada's Environmental Choice program, a product must contain at least 50 % recycled material. Did we meet the government's guidelines? Once again, we exceeded them! Global's shipping cartons contain at least 80% recycled material. That's not all… Here are some other ways that Global's packaging programme preserves our environment:
Continuous Improvement ISO 14000 The environmental counterpart to ISO 9000 quality management systems is ISO 14000. This is an international standard for the implementation and operation of an Environmental Management System (EMS). Like ISO 9000, it requires a commitment to continuous improvement through a cycle of environmental initiatives. This programme mandates that Global achieves the specific objectives that it sets for itself.
Recycling WasteFrom chair bases and seat pans to pencil trays, Global manufactures a wide variety of plastic and wood products using recycled materials. This recycled material comes from our very own recycling facility, RT Technologies.
Since 1989, RT Technologies has been a unique recycling facility. By utilizing a patented process of mixing together plastic waste and wood scraps from various Global plants, we have been able to divert 7.3 metric tonnes of plastic and wood waste per day from landfill sites and recycle them into usable office furniture.
What is worth noting is that RT Technologies uses over 80% recycled material for all of its processes and that the products they make can be recycled again!
Today, Global not only recycles tons of plastic and wood waste from its own facilities, it recycles waste for other companies as well!
Global Waste Reduction PlanThe Global Group's Office of Environmental Management has worked diligently for many years on waste reduction programmes. We are constantly looking for new ways to reduce, reuse and recycle waste. Every year we adopt new technologies that will divert more waste away from landfills and toward useful applications.
Our track record is impressive … Global currently recycles close to 95% of the waste materials it generates each year. This means that less than 5% of the total waste generated by Global ends up in landfill! And we are committed to reducing that amount by at least another 5% in the upcoming year.

- Main article: Clinical depression
Some people have the mistaken idea that it is normal for the elderly to feel depressed. On the contrary, most older people feel satisfied with their lives. Sometimes, though, when depression develops, it may be dismissed as a normal part of aging. Depression in the elderly, undiagnosed and untreated, causes needless suffering for the family and for the individual who could otherwise live a fruitful life. When he or she does go to the doctor, the symptoms described are usually physical, for the older person is often reluctant to discuss feelings of hopelessness, sadness, loss of interest in normally pleasurable activities, or extremely prolonged grief after a loss.
Recognizing how depressive symptoms in older people are often missed, many health care professionals are learning to identify and treat the underlying depression. They recognize that some symptoms may be side effects of medication the older person is taking for a physical problem, or they may be caused by a co-occurring illness. If a diagnosis of depression is made, treatment with medication and/or psychotherapy will help the depressed person return to a happier, more fulfilling life. Recent research suggests that brief psychotherapy (talk therapies that help a person in day-to-day relationships or in learning to counter the distorted negative thinking that commonly accompanies depression) is effective in reducing symptoms in short-term depression in older persons who are medically ill. Psychotherapy is also useful in older patients who cannot or will not take medication. Efficacy studies show that late-life depression can be treated with psychotherapy.4
Improved recognition and treatment of depression in late life will make those years more enjoyable and fulfilling for the depressed elderly person, the family, and caretakers.NIMH
Symptoms and diagnosis of late life depressionEdit
To meet criteria for a major depressive episode, a patient must have 5 of these 9 symptoms nearly every day for at least 2 weeks.[1]
- Depressed or sad mood
- Anhedonia (loss of interest in pleasurable activities)
- Sleep disturbance (increased or decreased sleep)
- Appetite disturbance (increased or decreased appetite) typically with weight change
- Energy disturbance (increased or decreased energy/activity level), usually fatigue
- Poor memory and/or concentration
- Feelings of guilt or worthlessness
- Psychomotor retardation or agitation (a change in mental and physical speed perceived by other people)
- Thoughts of wishing you were dead; suicidal ideation or suicide attempt
Depression in Older MenEdit
Men must cope with several kinds of stress as they age. If they have been the primary wage earners for their families and have identified heavily with their jobs, they may feel stress upon retirementloss of an important role, loss of self esteemthat can lead to depression. Similarly, the loss of friends and family and the onset of other health problems can trigger depression.
Depression is not a normal part of aging.18 Depression is an illness that can be effectively treated, thereby decreasing unnecessary suffering, improving the chances for recovery from other illnesses, and prolonging productive life. However, health care professionals may miss depressive symptoms in older patients. Older adults may be reluctant to discuss feelings of sadness or grief, or loss of interest in pleasurable activities.19 They may complain primarily of physical symptoms. It may be difficult to discern a co occurring depressive disorder in patients who present with other illnesses, such as heart disease, stroke, or cancer, which may cause depressive symptoms or may be treated with medications that have side effects that cause depression. If a depressive illness is diagnosed, treatment with appropriate medication and/or brief psychotherapy can help older adults manage both diseases, thus enhancing survival and quality of life.
"As you get sick, as you become drawn in more and more by depression, you lose that perspective. Events become more irritating, you get more frustrated about getting things done. You feel angrier, you feel sadder. Everything's magnified in an abnormal way."-Paul Gottlieb, Publisher
Identifying and treating depression in older adults is critical. There is a common misperception that suicide rates are highest among the young, but it is older white males who suffer the highest rate. Over 70 percent of older suicide victims visit their primary care physician within the month of their death; many have a depressive illness that goes undetected during these visits.20 This fact has led to research efforts to determine how to best improve physicians' abilities to detect and treat depression in older adults.21
Approximately 80 percent of older adults with depression improve when they receive treatment with antidepressant medication, psychotherapy, or a combination of both.22 In addition, research has shown that a combination of psychotherapy and antidepressant medication is highly effective for reducing recurrences of depression among older adults.23 Psychotherapy alone has been shown to prolong periods of good health free from depression, and is particularly useful for older patients who cannot or will not take medication.18 Improved recognition and treatment of depression in later life will make those years more enjoyable and fulfilling for the depressed elderly person, and his family and caregivers.

Good stuff, I just get leery with how often updates are being posted to this app. Will probably wait for a stable release before permanent install....
This is a tutorial on how to install Skipfish 1.33b in BT4 final.
Note: all commands that should be issued are in code boxes all other text is comments
The first thing we need to do is install a dependency that does not come default with BT4. The dependency is libidn11-dev, BT4 comes with libidn11 by default just not the development lib.
Install libidn11-dev
InstallationCode:apt-get install libidn11-dev
Download skipfish from the url below:
skipfish - Project Hosting on Google Code
once downloaded we extract and move to any dir you would like, I moved it to /pentest/web/skipfish so I will be organized.
Before we issue our make command we need to modify the Makefile, look for the LDFLAGS we need to add our correct directory. Before modification it looks like this:Code:mv skipfish-1.33b.tgz /tmp cd /tmp tar xvf skipfish-1.33b.tgz mv skipfish /pentest/web/ cd /pentest/web/skipfish
After:Code:LDFLAGS += -L/usr/local/lib/ -L/opt/local/lib
After you make the appropriate changes save the Makefile, you can now run make and compile skipfish.Code:LDFLAGS += -L/usr/lib/ -L/opt/local/lib
Note: if you do not modify the Makefile as described above skipfish will compile but when you run the application it will error out and not scan since the Makefile was pointing to the wrong directory.
Make the executable:
and we are done, all you need to do now is choose the appropriate dictionary you want to use. for more information See dictionaries/README-FIRST to pick a dictionary for the tool.Code:make
I chose the minimal.wl dictionary now we cp and move it
you can optionally make a output directory as well I like to, for the sake of organization:Code:cp minimal.wl skipfish.wl cp skipfish.wl .. cd ..
RUN IT:Code:mkdir output/ mkdir output/first
when the scan completes the output report will be output/first/index.htmlCode:./skipfish -o output/frist/ http://192.168.6.9
Hope you enjoy it.

I got 99 problems but the bits ain't one...
I agree, I am just testing it out on my dev box to see how it compares to other web scanners out there and I figured why not throw my documentation in a how-to post.
Thanks for the reply.

The estate lies a few kilometres away from the 'defence' town of Tezpur, on a bouncy road to Balipara, with 'Jorashor' river dividing its two divisions of Addabarie and Balipare on the east, Haruchurah on the south, Sessa on the west and the majestic, snow-capped Himalayan peaks over-looking the garden in the north, and this gives an unforgettable picturesque character to the estate. On a clear winter morning the view on the Northern side gives a wonderfully refreshing view to an ever-busy Planter's view.
It is amply clear that the first bushes were planted around 1850 by some very energetic planters, who braved the wild, climate and disease to give us today the most refreshing drink. As an ancient quote on benefits of tea drinking goes,
"One cup in the morning sets the spirit cheering
And opens the untapped thoughts,
One cup after meals drives worry away,
Once cup after your day is done
Will make the bones and muscles feel lighter,
And dissolve your fatigue,
Tea will add years and the enjoyment of you
It was on 13.6.1892, that the company changed hands from the then owners "The Agra Bank Limited" of
The estate still has an old section of tea, which as per records, was planted in the year 1887. Till the year 1961 – two estates of Balipara and Addabarie existed separately under totally different Management.
Mr. N. H. Archar, who retired in 1960 from Balipara estate, did a lot of work to bring the estate to its present state. A separate factory existed at Balipara. Mr. J.S. D. Waghharn, who succeeded Mr. Archar, was there for a very short duration and it was during his tenure that Balipara merged with Addabarie. Balipara is still called "Buragaon" by the old timers as it was probably referred to by that name in early days. Mr. M. C. Bishop took over as the Manager of Addabarie at the time of this merger.
Thereafter the factory at Balipara was dismantled.
It was then that Mr. R.A. Eastment, who later became the Visiting Agent of "McLeod Russell" took over the Management on a transfer from Helem T.E. The profits were low and Addabarie was said to have been in doldrums till the man who architecture the Addabarie of today, Mr. Ashok Kaul, took over the sliding profits base in 1968. On 26th November, 1970 an excellent deal was made between Harchurah T.E. of Bighas – 5 Kathas – 19 Lassas, measuring 93.34 hectares of prime virgin land at a nominal price of Rs. 1,42,245/- (Rupees One Lakh Forty Two Thousand Two Hundred Forty Five Only) These areas were put under plantations and today forms the nucleus of the success story of 25 quintals per hectare of yield of the estate. These areas now called the "Harchurah Extension" are partly on slopes and a bridge called "
In 1972 the " BUrra Bungalow" burnt down.
It was then the existing Bungalow was built on the foundation and legacy of the old building.
Although all round development work had already commenced, the estate had its share of its "Wild" stories. Incidents of workers being killed by the wild cats, though few, were happening. Mr. Bishop shot 2 tigers in one night on his way back from the club. An immense amount of work has been done in recent years with regard to labour houses, line sanitation, water supply, medical facilities and general well being of labourers. Leaf haulage was done by trolleys pushed by men, tracks of which are visible even today.
The workers lives have not changed much, they are doing the same old practice of tea cultivation though with certain improvements. The value of money has gone down. The older folks were happy when they could purchase 16kgs of rice with Re. 1/-. The salaries have increased, so has the cost of living. Today "Addabarie" boasts of a large workforce of approx. 2,600 workers and population of 6,400. The factory buildings, houses, bungalows, roads, all have seen a sea change in these years. Today it produces quality tea and is one of the large producing estates of the Company. The dream of the initial Planter of the nineteenth century seems to have been achieved. Tea has brought prosperity to the owners and provides employment to a large section of the population whether directly or indirectly.
The dream that we have for tomorrow would be achieved with greater vision and transparency in thoughts. "ADDABARIE" would be heaven in the years to come.

It's zucchini season, which means it's also squash blossom season. Since we're currently vegetarian, I couldn't make my parents' recipe of beef-stuffed blossoms, so I went with cheese instead.
I mixed some finely chopped green onions and basil into some goat cheese, then stuffed each flower with about half a teaspoon of the mix. Next up, I whipped up a quick batter of sparkling water and flour, about the consistency of thick pancake batter. (You could use beer or plain water, too.) Twist the top of each flower, give it a quick dip in the batter, and fry in about 1/4" of oil until golden.
Since I had some beautiful heirloom tomatoes from the farmers market, I made a quick sauce to top the flowers. But they're also delicious on their own.

Great work by a Motown group who never really got their due – a quintet with some really wonderful vocal interplay, and a massive way of putting over a groove! The vocal range is really amazing – really living up to the "dynamic" in the group's name – especially on the leads, which break away from the rest of the group in this soaring style that really sets the group apart from their contemporaries. The mellow cuts are nice, and the groovers are packed with energy – and titles include the long cut "I Can't Stay Away (From Someone I Love)", plus "If I Could Meet You", "Supersensousensation", "Looking Away", and "Stay Away". CD features 2 bonus tracks – US single edits of "Supersensousensation" and I Can't Stay Away From Someone I Love". © 1996-2017, Dusty Groove, Inc.
We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
This is what it says, that the record is still held fast in shrink-wrap. We tend to be pretty suspicious about these things, so if the shrink-wrap doesn't look original, or if the record seems to have undergone some damage over time, we'll probably take it out of the wrapper to ensure that it's in good shape — which is why we don't have more of these. In some cases the shrink-wrap may be torn in spots, but if it's not possible the record has been taken out and played, the record will still qualify as "Sealed".
Dusty Groove does not use the grades of Near Mint (or Mint, for that matter) because in our experience, we find that no records ever qualify for such a high grade. Even sealed records tend to have one or two slight faults, enough to usually qualify them for a grade of NM- or lower. We've often found that records which are clearly unplayed will have a slight amount of surface noise, especially in quieter recordings.
This is a grade we rarely use, as we try not to sell records in very bad condition, though in some rare cases we will list a record in such bad shape that it does not conform to the standards above. A "Fair" record will have enough marks or significant flaws that it does not even qualify as "Good", but is a copy you might consider for playing, if you're willing to put up with noise and/or flaws. An example might be a recording with surface noise so heavy that it is equal to the volume of the music. For records listed as "Fair", we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.
Like "Fair", we rarely list records in this condition, as they represent the extreme low end of spectrum. These records typically have multiple serious problems, and we offer them as "relics" or "objects" only — for those who want to at least have a copy of a record, even if it is not really worthy of play, perhaps for the cover alone. For these records, we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible. All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.
With our Used CDs, you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks — clean, and not dirty at all. You can also expect the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves — putting fresh cases on Used CDs we handle) — and you can expect the booklet to be in good shape, unless noted otherwise. We will list any specific details/defects underneath the item — so look for notes on cutout marks in the case, stamps on the barcode, or details like that.

The actor's publicist now says that he wasn't talking about his own cancer being caused by the human papilloma virus, the BBC reports. The reversal prompted the Guardian to release audio of its interview with Douglas, in which the actor says he doesn't regret his years of smoking and drinking, because "this particular cancer is caused by something called HPV, which actually comes about from cunnilingus."

A Unity workaround
When Ubuntu 11.10 was released recently, I spent a day trying to at least get a feel for the Unity desktop. It was a long day and, in the end, we are going to have to just agree that Unity and I are not made for each other.
Before I continue, allow me an aside. My philosophy about this whole desktop environment thing is simple. The desktop on my computer should resemble my desktop in real life. On my desk are a lot of things, some important and some not, and none of it is in any particular order. My desk is not limited to a certain number of items neatly tucked on one side; it has things all over it that are immediately accessible when I need them.
I think Unity leaves a lot to be desired, to put it diplomatically, and it probably feels the same way about me.
I'm at peace with that.
But the day with Unity was not a total loss, because I did find a workaround for it on Oneiric Ocelot.
It's simple: Install Xubuntu 11.10
I'll be the first to admit it: That's snarky. But in the final analysis, Unity just doesn't cut it for users with normally functioning brain capacities ranking above troglodyte. In the name of "simplicity," it ironically adds a layer or two of complexity that arguably hampers ease of use, especially when you want to tweak it to your own personal settings — or at least to the settings you'd hope to make, but ultimately are unable to make thanks to the desktop's limitations in the name of accommodating new users.
But never mind. Again, the workaround is Xubuntu 11.10. Or Kubuntu 11.10, if you'd prefer.
[Of course, others would say, "Well, you could always use Fedora 15 Xfce," but I'm addressing those who want to use Ubuntu. Though, needless to say, using Fedora is always an option.]
Shortly after the Ubuntu-with-Unity day of pain, I installed Xubuntu 11.10 and found it worked wonders on this old MicroPC laptop. The familiar desktop was tweaked to mimic the programs and desktop icon set on my main laptop, which runs Fedora 16 Xfce beta at the moment — if you can't have a terminal alias on your desktop, then you're not living.
A couple of things about the install and use of Xubuntu 11.10 which may cross over to other *buntus and deserve special mention.
First, there's a pretty wide availability of software in the Live CD version. I'm used to going back after a Live CD install and installing a ton of programs I usually use from the repositor. But in this particular install, there were several programs that I didn't have to pick up after the Live CD install. Good call.
Another thing about the *buntus I like is the Ubuntu Software Center. Yeah, it's kind of slick, but it works quite well. In accessing a wide range of repositories, it has everything one would need.
Xubuntu 10.11 Oneiric Ocelot is an exceptional release and is one that deserves a shot if you're a dyed-in-the-wool Ubuntu user but cannot bear to use Unity. Try it out.

First off – let me spread my new sigline at the expense of your outstanding blog:
Ubuntu – turning $1000.00 computers into $75.00 phones since 2011.
There, that's out of the way.
"In the name of "simplicity," it ironically adds a layer or two of complexity that arguably hampers ease of use…"
You were always the diplomatic one between us Larry. Fact is, Canonical has potentially disrupted the workflow of a couple million people. Sure, they can do like I am doing and use Mint or Xubuntu until the current LTS rides off into the sunset, but that uncertainty looms large.
How people can apologize for that is beyond me. Maybe Unity will morph from the worm into the butterfly between now and then.
And maybe some day I'll have hair like Fabio.
Your UDOP (Unity Day of Pain) mirrors mine and I am left shaking my head, trying to make sense of it all. 200 million new users? This from a company that refuses to recognize mass media advertising?
Good luck with that.
October 18, 2011 at 7:00 am
Fabio? Never thought I would see that on a Linux centric
Lets face it Ken, Larry the Free Software Guy is much
tougher than us old guys. Tenacious also.
"In the name of "simplicity" the Colonel has joined the
army of many and switched to Linux Mint. That does
go to freedom. Y'all can run whatever you want as long
as long as it is approved by the Central Computer Command.
Canonical has become the Acme Novelty Company of Linux.
If Ron Popeil made software it would be Unity.
Peace, Bob

Well, I dunno. I've been messing with it so far and I like it. Then again, I'm used to using alt-tab. The main issue I'm running into at the moment is the touchpad on my HP dv7 notebook. No separate mouse buttons…. just separate regions for left and right clicking. Works great in Windows. In Ubuntu and other systems…. not so much. I just consider myself fortunate for having a separate USB mouse.

text: After probing a few of my PC's with Nmap I've found 1 particular PC with all the netbios ports completely open. So i do the usual test by creating a null user session, that was successful. Now I want to enumerate the users off this PC to attempt a Logon as any of the Administrator accounts. This is where im stuck completely. The PC is a XP SP2 fully patched system (I cheated and checked this myself) and everytime I try to get the users off here I get some sort of Acess Denied depending on the tool I've tried. I started up metasploit to see if I couldn't run any smb exploits on this system and I come up empty handed no matter what exploit I try. Metasploit feels pretty script kiddie to me but I'm not to the point where im able to write my own exploits. I went looking through the forums/google to find any sort of answers to how I could use these open ports and the null session. Is there anyway through netbios? Can I use these ports for anything else? I've thought of bruteforcing the netbios login but I can't seem to find the Admin account. It isn't connected to a server to sniff the credentials across the wire. How was enumeration and Access accomplished prior to Metasploit? Nessus was ran and gave me very little information besides what I already knew. I can pull the PC name out from netbios but thats about it.

Anterior knee painPatellofemoral syndrome; Chondromalacia patella; Runner's knee; Patellar tendinitis; Jumper's knee
Anterior knee pain is pain that occurs at the front and center of the knee. It refers to many different problems, including:
- Chondromalacia of the patella -- the softening and breakdown of the tissue (cartilage) on the underside of the kneecap (patella)
- Runner's knee (sometimes called patellar tendinitis)
Your kneecap (patella) sits over the front of your knee joint. As you bend or straighten your knee, the underside of the patella glides over the bones that make up the knee.
Strong tendons help attach thekneecap to the bones and muscles that surround the knee. These tendons are called:
- The patellar tendon (where the kneecap attaches to the shin bone)
- The quadriceps tendon (where the thigh muscles attach to the top of the kneecap)
Anterior knee pain begins when the kneecap does not move properly and rubs against the lower part of the thigh bone. This may occur because:
- The kneecap is in an abnormal position (also called poor alignment of the patellofemoral joint)
- There is tightness or weakness of the muscles on the front and back of your thigh
- You are doing too much activity that places extra stress on the kneecap (such as running, jumping or twisting, skiing, or playing soccer)
- You have flat feet
Anterior knee pain is more common in:
- People who are overweight
- People who have had a dislocation, fracture, or other injury to the kneecap
- Runners, jumpers, skiers, bicyclists, and soccer players who exercise often
- Teenagers and healthy young adults, more often girls
Other possible causes of anterior knee pain include:
- Arthritis
- Pinching of the inner lining of the knee during movement (called synovial impingement or plica syndrome)
Anterior knee pain is a dull, aching pain that is most often felt:
- Behind the kneecap (patella)
- Below the kneecap
- On the sides of the kneecap
One common symptom is agrating or grinding sensation when the knee is flexed (when the ankle is brought closer to the back of the thigh).
Symptoms may be more noticeable with:
- Deep knee bends
- Going down stairs
- Running downhill
- Standing up after sitting for awhile
Exams and Tests
Thehealth care providerwill perform a physical examination. The knee may be tender and mildly swollen, and the kneecap may not be perfectly lined up with the thigh bone (femur).
When you flex your knee, you may feel a grinding sensation below the kneecap. Pressing the kneecap when the knee is straightening out may be painful.
X-rays are usually normal, although a special x-ray view of the kneecap may show signs of arthritis or tilting.
MRI scans are rarely needed.
Resting the knee for a short period of time and taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, naproxen, or aspirin may help relieve pain.
Other treatments or self-care for anterior knee pain include:
- Changing the way you exercise
- Learning and performing exercises to both strengthen and stretch thequadriceps and hamstring muscles
- Losing weight (if you need to)
- Special shoe inserts and support devices (orthotics -- for people with flat feet)
- Taping to realign the kneecap
- Wearing the correct running or sports shoes
Surgery for pain behind the kneecap (anterior knee pain) is rarely needed. During the surgery:
- Kneecap cartilage that has been damaged may be removed.
- Changes may be made to the tendons to help the kneecap move more evenly.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Anterior knee pain often improves with a change in activity, exercise therapy, and the use of NSAIDs.
Possible Complications

Video: How to Recharge Your AC
Rick Muscoplat, an automotive expert at The Family Handyman, will show you how to recharge your car's air conditioner yourself. After this video, you'll be getting ice cold air blowing through your vents once again.
Overview: Assess the cooling problem and buy an A/C recharge kit
If your A/C system blew ice-cold air last year but barely cools now, chances are it lost some refrigerant over the winter. That happens in older vehicles when the aging seals contract and some refrigerant leaks out.
Topping off the system can usually put you back in the deep freeze. That's a job you can do yourself if your vehicle was made after 1993 and is filled with R-134a refrigerant (check the label under the hood or the specifications section of your owner's manual to be sure).
Note: Some states impose restrictions on the sale of R-134a refrigerant to consumers. In some cases, the cans may have a different design, requiring different charging procedures. Recharging won't fix all A/C problems. But if you're willing to gamble about $50 on a recharging kit, you might be a cool dude in less than an hour. You can save about $100 in labor costs by doing the job yourself.
Stop at any auto parts store and pick up an R-134a A/C recharging kit. I used the A/C Pro product shown here because it came with a reusable gauge and a quick-connect fitting, and the refrigerant contained a seal conditioner additive. But you can use any brand. Warning: The electric A/C compressors in hybrid vehicles are incompatible with the oils and seal conditioners used in many retail recharging kits. Using the wrong kit can result in a lethal electrical shock. Check the product's label for compatibility with your hybrid vehicle before buying. If you're not sure, take it to a pro.
Refrigerant can cause frostbite and serious eye injuries if used improperly. Follow all the cautionary information in the kit instructions, and wear gloves and goggles during the procedure.
Recharge your A/C system
Pop the hood and find the low-pressure line and port (photo 1). Then connect the gauge (photo 2). Check the pressure reading on the gauge. If it reads zero, your system is completely empty and this repair won't work. You need to take your vehicle to a pro. If the gauge shows some pressure, start the engine and turn your A/C to "Max" and the fan to "High." Then check the compressor clutch (photo 3). If it's spinning, add refrigerant until the gauge reaches the recommended pressure shown in the instructions. But don't overfill! Too much refrigerant actually reduces cooling.
If the compressor clutch isn't spinning, add one-half can of refrigerant. If it then starts spinning, continue adding refrigerant until you reach the recommended pressure. However, if the clutch won't spin after adding half a can, stop. Your leak is too serious to handle with a top-off—it needs a pro.
When you're done, disconnect the hose connector and reinstall the port cap.
Protect the Environment
Just because you can keep recharging your A/C yourself doesn't mean you should. Leaking R-134a harms the environment by contributing to global warming. If you recharge your system and it runs low again in a few months or before next spring, you've got a fairly large leak. Take it to a pro and get it fixed.

Headliners for Bohemian Nights at New West Fest Announced
Bohemian Nights today announced the three national headliners that will anchor this year's Bohemian Nights at NewWestFest, a free community music festival slated for Aug. 15-17 in downtown Fort Collins. The headliners are: Big Head Todd and the Monsters; Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo; and WAR.
In addition to the national headliners, the festival's 10th anniversary music lineup will showcase a diverse pool of more than 70 new, emerging and established Colorado bands playing on six outdoor music stages throughout the weekend. A list of the Colorado artists performing throughout the weekend is HERE.
Friday, August 15: Big Head Todd and the Monsters
Big Head Todd and the Monsters will perform at Bohemian Nights at New West Fest on Friday, August 15.

The Crowley project is a five year project at the National Archives of Ireland, to catalogue to international archival standards, the registered papers of the Office of Chief Secretary of Ireland from 1818 to 1852, in order to facilitate public access to one of the most valuable sources of original material for research on Ireland in the first half of the nineteenth century. The project also employs a dedicated conservator to conserve the papers once they are listed.
The project was made possible by a bequest from the late Professor Francis J Crowley. Born in New Haven, Connecticut, Professor Crowley was educated at Yale and Princeton, and became a professor of French at the University of California at Los Angeles. Both his parents were born in Ireland, and in his will he bequeathed most of his estate to the Republic of Ireland to be used for the preservation of records of the history of the Irish people.
Work commenced in September 2008, and we are delighted to be able to offer public access to the online catalogue for the first 5 years of papers which have now been listed: 1818, 1819, 1820, 1821 and 1822. These items are available for consultation at the reading room of the National Archives of Ireland, according to usual procedures.
Cataloguing of the years 1823 and 1824 is currently in progress and these lists will be added to this website when complete.

Moore Celebration: Business school breaks ground on new building
Contact: Peggy Binette 803-777-5400 firstname.lastname@example.com
More than 250 Darla Moore School of Business alumni, faculty, staff and students joined University of South Carolina officials Friday (Sept. 23) to celebrate a major milestone -- the groundbreaking for the Moore School's new building.
When completed in December 2013, the building promises to transform business education at the university and serve as the front door to Innovista.
USC President Harris Pastides said the building will symbolize the Moore School's commitment to participate, innovate and lead.
"The Moore School is recognized internationally for its distinguished record of teaching and research. This building, with its iconic design and energy innovations, will enhance teaching and learning and advance the school's reputation for preparing leaders for the world of commerce and contributing to the economic development ambitions of our state and nation," Pastides said.
To be located at the corner of Assembly and Greene streets next to the Carolina Coliseum, the building has created buzz not only for its iconic design by Rafael Viñoly Architects of New York, but also for its green features.
The building's cantilevered and glass design will maximize natural light within and, with its open interior, encourage collaboration and creativity.
"The new home for the Moore School is designed to create a dynamic environment for both students and faculty and will fully utilize the latest information technologies," said Dr. Hildy Teegen, dean of the Moore School of Business. "The building also is designed to meet the highest standards for sustainability and energy efficiency -- a goal consistent with the university's mission of environmental responsibility and consistent with the expectations of business." The new Moore School is designed with the community in mind and to encourage interaction and collaboration among faculty, staff and students.
The main entrance is on Greene Street. That level, which is actually the second level, will house a visitors' center, a trading room with stock market ticker boards and a café. It will open to an expansive, open-air courtyard that will include The Pavilion, a free-standing space for lectures and special events, and The Palmetto Court, a green space that features groupings of large sabal palms.
"The new Moore School also is designed to serve a larger purpose for the university, for the community here in Columbia, and for the business community," Teegen said. "It is located, literally and figuratively, to meet the needs of students while enhancing our ability to create partnerships and provide support to the business community."
Throughout the building will be open spaces with flexible furnishings, outlets for technology and white boards that students, faculty, staff and others can use and adapt for ad hoc meetings or team projects. Even the large open stairwells are designed to encourage interaction.
The first level, located below the main floor, is the learning level. It will feature a variety of classrooms, all designed with technology and flexibility for student project collaboration in mind. It also will include a 500-seat lecture and performance hall, the result of a partnership with, and support from, the School of Music. The café will have extended hours for serving visitors who attend events in the hall.
Much of the third level will be devoted to executive and professional education programs and will house classrooms outfitted with advanced technology, and a conference center. Administrative offices also will be on that level.
The fourth level will house faculty offices and a research lab. Both floors will provide views below of the Palmetto Court.
The building has myriad sustainable features. The roof will feature green turf to reduce heat and improve energy efficiency. Its design will maximize natural light and shade for cooling, and occupants will benefit from outdoor views and light, pristine air quality and control of heating, air and lighting in their own spaces.
The building's design incorporates goals for earning a LEED Platinum and a Net-Zero rating, meaning that it will generate as much energy as it consumes. The Moore School was selected by the U.S. Department of Energy to partner with its national laboratories in its Net-Zero Energy Commercial Building Partnership program. As a result of the partnership, the Moore School has benefitted from expertise in energy technologies and building systems and design and operating practices.
If sustainability goals are achieved, it will be among the greenest facilities in the Southeast, Teegen said.
"A factor in the DOE's selection of the Moore School is its commitment to use the expertise of our business faculty and students in addressing the value of and potential for sustainability," Teegen said. "This expertise, combined with our role as the economic development hub of Innovista, will help the Moore School take a leading role in this burgeoning field."
Gilbane Co. and partner Cumming SMG will manage the project's construction; site preparation is set to begin by December 2011.

Zoe Saldana Covers Cosmopolitan for Latinas
Chosen to help kickstart the brand new publication, Zoe Saldana adorns the cover of the premiere issue of Cosmopolitan for Latinas.
Set to hit newsstands on May 1st, the 33-year-old "Avatar" actress looks elegant on the front page of the new women's lifestyle magazine targeted at English-speaking Latinas.
Meanwhile, highlights from Miss Saldana's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to Cosmopolitan for Latinas!
On being a Latina:
"People think of Latina women as being fiery and fierce, which is usually true. But I think the quality that so many Latinas possess is strength. I'm very proud to have Latin blood."
On being a ballerina in her teens:
"I had to quit ballet because it felt like a part of me was dying inside. It takes a lot of courage to face up to things you can't do because we feed ourselves so much denial…In dance you use every party of your body except your voice. I wanted to start acting because I wanted to use my voice."

The Tea Party Governor Backlash of 2014
Listen to NRA News Cam & Company on iHeartRadio
America seems resigned to a Seinfeld election in 2014—a campaign about nothing.
To an exhausted electorate, the final midterms of the Obama presidency are failing to drive much mainstream excitement, and no clear national themes have emerged despite the high-stakes fight for the Senate. DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz essentially admitted as much when she dismissed the idea of Democrats running on any national message, seeking instead to focus on local themes.
It's hard to spin this a sign of strength. The fact is that Democrats have drawn a bad hand for the Senate races this cycle. They're set to lose open seats in three states Mitt Romney won easily—South Dakota, West Virginia, and Montana—and they're defending vulnerable Democratic incumbents in red states like Louisiana, Arkansas, Alaska, and North Carolina. As for the House, the rigged system of redistricting essentially guarantees that it will remain in Republican hands until after the census of 2020.
But don't believe the hype about 2014 being a Republican wave election. Something more complex is going on. Democrats are doing much better than they have a right to expect in the South, especially with family brand names like Landrieu and Pryor. Mitch McConnell even has an improbably tight race on his hands in Kentucky against Alison Lundergan Grimes.
More to the point, Democrat Kay Hagan looks strong in North Carolina, where the Tea Party wave of 2010 brought otherwise unified Republican control to this increasingly purple swing state. The state legislative excesses have been bad enough that GOP Governor Pat McCrory, the former mayor of Charlotte, found himself described as a "moderate among Wingnuts" by The Economist, which detailed his travails this way: "Unlike the pragmatic conservatives who have long dominated state politics, the Republicans now in charge are culture warriors…The governor found himself passing laws to ban sharia (Islamic law), restrict abortion and introduce strict voter-identification rules, which are being challenged by the federal government."
Here's where a slumbering national theme for 2014 starts to come into sharper relief. This year represents the first time local voters have been able to weigh in on the statewide elected officials who rode the Tea Party wave to victory in 2010. So while the Senate sucks up all the oxygen, the governors' races might really reflect the mood of the electorate more accurately.

To see what I'm up to lately, Follow me on Twitter, Facebook, or read one of my many blogs. Joe Quirk's book on seasteading, which I assisted with, is now available for pre-order on Amazon - link above.
My life in San Jose, California is centered around my children Tovar and Iselle, my amazing fiancée Brit Benjamin, my job at Google, my venture fund Zarco Investment Group, and my work at The Seasteading Institute, a small non-profit whose mission is "To establish permanent, autonomous ocean communities to enable experimentation and innovation with diverse social, political, and legal systems". Please consider joining TSI and helping us increase competition in government.
Most people come across me via my views on politics, which are described in some of these essays, talks, and papers::
Some other projects:
If you need to correspond with me, I can be reached for personal things as patrissimo-at-gmail-dot-com and for work things as patri-at-seasteading-dot-org. Everything addressed to me gets at least a skim within a day or two, and I fully read most of it, but I unfortunately often don't have the time to respond to it quickly, at length, or sometimes at all. If you promise not to take it personally, I'll promise to use my time to do awesome things :) . (Here's a good piece on the philosophy behind this.)

Brum for the win!
Looks like it's a two horse race so far between Brum and Alers.
Out of curiosity when does voting close?
3-2-0 Pro Fighter managed by TFL Sports Agency
I think (in a biased way) Brum deserves it, he has a 4th CW fight against another tough guy on NYE and if he wins that he will of beaten 4 guy`s on CW this year.
If you love fighting you can never really lose!!!!!
Has to be James Brum he had 3 awesome wins over very hard fighters and what a showman always makes the weigh in exciting and is a really all round nice guy when your not in the cage with him
Team Alers
JAMES BRUM all the way
Alers has 2 FINISHES: TKO and submission over 2 tough opponents Lahdesmaki and Cesar. Brum, while a very nice fellow, has only decision wins against good opponents but not the same caliber fighters as Lahdesmaki and Cesar.
Not bashing Brum, but clearly the better year has been had by Alers
james brum all the way.its brummy time people

Situated in Parañaque City, The Westin Manila Bayshore is located in Manila's Entertainment City, in Resorts World Bayshore. Gaming facilities, restaurants, bars, retail shopping, a theatre, a grand opera house, and extensive water features are just steps away. Travel time on the elevated expressway to Makati City, Manila's central business district (CBD), is approximately 25 minutes, and Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) can be reached in about 10 minutes.
Divided into 16 districts, Manila is full of history and culture. Take a ride in a horse-drawn carriage along the promenade in the oldest part of the city—Intramuros, also known as the Walled City. Located on the southern banks of the Pasig River, it was previously the seat of the Spanish government during colonial times. It is full of historic buildings, including the famed citadel Fort Santiago and the city's oldest stone church, San Agustin, built in 1606. In addition to the church's magnificently carved door, Baroque pulpit, and 18th-century pipe organ, its monastery contains paintings of saints and other religious relics. Intramuros is also home to numerous art galleries, shops, restaurants, and performing venues.
Stroll around another one of Manila's top tourist attractions, Rizal Park. Also called Luneta Park, it is home to numerous artifacts at the National Museum of the Philippines. Built in 1750, Malacanang Palace is the residence and workplace of the Filipino president. Manila also has one of the world's largest Chinatowns. Established in 1594 in the enclave Binondo, this lively area is filled with shops and restaurants offering a wide range of cuisine.
The Philippines is particularly famous for its abaca (Manila hemp) handicrafts, including bags, lamps, and baskets. Other traditional handicrafts include wood, rattan, leather and bamboo items, and coconut-shell crafts. Sample some indigenous cuisine, including Filipino roast chicken (lechon isanal), roast pork (lechon liempo), and halo-halo, a popular dessert made with shaved ice, evaporated milk, boiled sweet beans, and fruit.
