In interview with KNBR Radio in San Francisco, former St. Louis manager Tony La Russa says that, in the end, the Cardinals simply could not afford to keep Albert Pujols, even though Pujols offered a significant hometown discount.
The Los Angeles Angels signed the three-time NL MVP to a guaranteed $254 million contract for 10 years.
"I know it is true ," La Russa said. "Albert was ready to give the Cardinals a tremendous and significant home discount. I am talking about signing for something like $60 or $65 million less than he signed for.
"That's a lot of money he would have walked away from, but even at that level the Cardinals could not have swung it."
La Russa, who retired after the season, says Pujols never let him down as a player, calling him "absolutely as close to perfect as you could expect a player to be for 11 years." He said Pujols was always engrossed in the game an displayed an enthusiasm that could not be faked.
Pujols' former manager understands the St. Louis fans feeling jilted, but doesn't believe they should -- or will -- boo Pujols when he eventually returns there to play.
Among the things La Russa had to say:
"I think the Angels came in and swooped him up. I just think the Cardinals understood they couldn't afford him. Sometimes you gotta make that kind of decision. ...
"The fans were really upset with him. There's still a lot of negativity to it.... (Pujols) made a P.R. mistake when he said it wasn't about the money because you can't say that. ...
"This guy is a golden person on-and-off the field. I was never disappointed by him. ... Like I told the Cardinals fans, pull for him unless he is playing your team in the World Series. Then pull against him. Other than that pull for him."

Jonas Brothers cancel tour citing 'deep rift within the band'
Listen to Jonas Brothers on iHeartRadio
The Jonas Brothers may be calling it quits.
On Wednesday, the group announced the cancellation of their North American tour, which was scheduled to kick off on Friday.
Q102's Nik the Web Chick in Pennsylvania - where the Jo Bros' first show was scheduled - had announced that the concert had been cancelled.
The brothers' rep gave a statement to "People" about the 19-date cancellation, saying that "there is a deep rift within the band." The rep notes that their internal troubles aren't personal, but that there was "a big disagreement over their music direction."
The magazine confirms that ticket holders for the canceled tour will be refunded. As for the future of their musical endeavors together, the rep says it "remains to be seen."
Kevin, Joe and Nick reunited last year after spending some time apart on individual projects. They released new singles like "Pom Pom" and "First Time" earlier this year, but never confirmed a release date for the album they had been working on.

Please Read Item Label and Packaging for Recent Product Information.
The company advertised an 8 oz. bottle of Wild Cherry Bark Syrup for $4.97.
It also advertised an 8oz. bottle with several different herbs added for $9.45. The both bottles are identical if you read the labels. I ordered 4 of the $4.97 bottles and received 4oz. bottles. They did send me a return label but now claim they didn't receive the return pkg. And they don't have the items i ordered in stock contrary to their internet site which said both in stock. Needless to say i will never use this company again.

I work with eating disorders that result in obesity. I also do psychological evaluations for those who are planning to have bariatric surgery. It is important to understand the underlying causes for this to have a successful outcome. It is also essential to identify the triggers that result in overeating or eating the wrong foods. There are two phases during therapy, that of weight loss, and that of weight maintenance. I provide a nonjudgmental space to deal with this issue while treating the whole person, not the eating disorder.

We in the United States have a pretty unhealthy relationship with food. We go out to eat in a restaurant and are served a meal that has as much fat and calories as we're supposed to eat in a whole day, sometimes more. Then we look at a magazine or turn on the TV and see stick-thin models who look like they never eat. What are you supposed to do with that? We all need food to live, but most of us also feel like we're supposed to look like those models. We want to be perfect. We want to be in control. But so often we feel like we have no control at all. If you're ready to find a healthier, more manageable relationship with food, I'd love to help.

Accessibility Help Home | Resources for Developers and Document Authors
Resources for Developers and Document Authors
Social Security Administration software developers and electronic content authors use a variety of accessibility guides and training materials to make the content provided on ssa.gov accessible. SSA makes these resources available as a public service to assist anyone interested in developing and authoring accessible electronic content.
Accessibility Best Practices Library
The Social Security Administration Accessibility Best Practices Library is used by agency developers and electronic content authors to assist with designing and authoring accessible electronic content. The Library is designed to be used as a set of voluntary implementation guidelines to assist with solving common accessibility challenges. Each best practice includes:
- A concise explanation of the problem being addressed;
- An interactive example showing the solution;
- Real world examples of common accessibility issues;
- A detailed look at how the example was built;
- Downloadable example code, style sheets, scripts, and images; and
- Testing methodologies for each example provided
Alternative Text Guide
Alternative text can be applied to images, charts, diagrams, buttons, and other interface elements to convey information and purpose textually. Problems occur when alternative text is written incorrectly, confuses users, or does not provide the correct context. While the creation of alternative text is not an exact science, SSA strives to provide meaningful alternative text by following the practical guidance contained in this comprehensive reference guide.
Accessible Document Authoring & Testing
On ssa.gov, the agency aims to provide an accessible HTML equivalent of all electronic documents provided on the site. In situations where this is not possible, the agency's goal is to provide each electronic document in an accessible format. Whereas the Section 508 accessibility standards currently do not provide specific technical guidance on what constitutes an accessible electronic document, the agency uses the following guides to author and test Word, PowerPoint, Excel and PDF documents for accessibility.
Word 2013 Accessibility Checklist
Word 2010 Accessibility Checklist (View in PDF)
MS PowerPoint 2010 Testing Checklist
Paper Prototype Accessibility Checklist
When developing complex interactive web based electronic content, SSA follows the best practice of considering accessibility and Section 508 requirements very early in the planning and design stages, before work on development begins. This simple checklist can help designers of interactive web content identify and understand the accessibility implications of various design choices during early prototyping activities.

An onbaa (オンバア) is a cat, sloth, bear, monkey-like animal that lives around Konohagakure. Jiraiya encountered one when he was a child and later wrote a story about it, a tale so gruesome that Shizune was frightened. Tsunade had always assumed he was lying. When a baby onbaa ("Onbu") adheres itself to Naruto Uzumaki's back, she realises that the story was true.
Onbaa are quite strong, as nobody in Konoha is able to release Onbu's grip on Naruto. During their time together, Naruto discovers that Onbu has a voracious appetite that can apparently not be quenched. Onbu matures rapidly, growing to a size several times larger than Naruto during their time together. When they are found by Onbu's mother, she attacks Naruto to try to protect her child. Naruto is almost killed but Onbu, finally dislodged from Naruto's back, protects him. They say their goodbyes and Onbu disappears into the forest with its mother.
Soon after Onbu leaves the village, a flock of hawks drops several hundred infant onbaa onto the villagers of Konoha. Tsunade begs Naruto to tell her how he removed Onbu from his back. Naruto joked that she should have a sumo match with it like Jiraiya did, angering her.

PHILADELPHIA – The National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) has announced its all-region teams at the NCAA Division I level, and two University of Pennsylvania players have been honored in the Mid-Atlantic region.
Freshman Jasmine Cole was a first-team all-region selection, while junior Emily Corcoran was a second-team selection. They are the Quakers' first all-region picks since the 2008 season, and Cole is the first first-team selection since Lea Salese in 2005.
Cole finished the year with a team-leading 18 goals and 39 points. She finished the regular season second in the nation in goals per game (1.06) and sixth in points per game (2.29), leading the Ivy League in both categories. Cole also was the co-Ivy League Rookie of the Year as well as the first freshman to receive first-team All-Ivy recognition in program history.
"Jasmine had an undeniably strong rookie season," said Penn's head coach, Colleen Fink."Scoring 18 goals and being among the national leaders is an honor not just for her but for the entire team. Jasmine has an uncanny way of getting around her defenders, using her speed and strength, and she is able to put herself in great scoring positions. The staff is looking forward to working with her in the offseason to continue to grow and diversify her game. Jasmine has far-reaching goals for her career at Penn, and we hope to help her achieve them."
Corcoran finished the regular season 14th in the nation and first in the Ivies in points per game (2.06). The Bryn Mawr, Pa. native also finished 22nd in the nation and third in the Ivies in assists per game (0.53) and 23rd in the nation and third in the Ivies in goals per game (0.76). Corcoran led the Quakers in assists (9) and was second in goals (13) and points (35).
"Emily has worked tirelessly to have a season like the one she had in 2013," said Fink. "In the offseason, she committed a lot of time to improving her shot and her offensive tactics. She was able to continue to utilize her strong pressing and tackling skills to convert into scoring opportunities. Her confidence is helping her to continue grow as an outstanding and up and coming performer in our league. I am overjoyed that Emily's hard work, dedication and loyalty to Penn field hockey paid off."
Penn finished the 2013 season with a 13-4 record, finishing one win shy of the program record set in 1988, and took second place in the Ivy League at 5-2. The Quakers were in the hunt for a share of the Ivy League title right up to the final day, losing in that final game to champion Princeton.

|Episode Guide
After his boiler room cheat-fest with Bianca, girls consider Drew 'gross by association'. But there's one girl who doesn't seem to mind - Bianca. Riley's mom finds out about him and Zane and she's not happy about it. Alli's not having much luck winning over the girls at the Beechwood Private Preparatory School for Young Ladies.
Main Plot
Drew puts the Degrassi basketball team into the finals by scoring the winning shot. To celebrate their victory, K.C. and Dave and their girlfriends invite Drew to the movies with them. Drew feels like a fifth wheel and decides to stay back and work on his jump shot. The next day Drew tries his best to get a date for when they win the Semi-Finals, but no girl seems interested. Bianca walks over and teases him about getting rejected but Drew tells her to get lost. She said that's what he gets for bringing his A game to the B squad. Drew tells her that her number is in every stall in the guys bathroom. She tells him to call her and walks away.
Drew goes and talks to K.C. and asks how the movie was. He said it was fine and he didn't miss much. Dave soon runs in and said that he missed out. K.C. apologizes and said that he didn't want Drew to feel left out. Drew complains that he can't seem to find a girl if his life depended on it. K.C. and Dave pulled him over to the side and talk about why girls won't talk to him. K.C. told him that girls are mad at him, because of his reputation with Bianca. Dave tells him that since they hooked up, that it's gross by association. K.C. tells him that he needs to find a girl that doesn't care about his reputation. Dave playfully suggests that Bianca might be free.
Later, Drew is seen practicing the drums. Bianca comes into the room and starts dancing to the drums. He sees her and stops playing. The two get into an argument and Bianca tells him that she doesn't take any random guy to the boiler room. Drew finally realizes that she likes him. They make out and get together.
The next day, Drew and Bianca walk together and she asks if her number is really in all the stalls. Drew says no and she tells him that it is in all the girls. They both agree that their reputations suck. Bianca asks him how long he's been playing the drums, he told her a few years and says that he's not that good. She states that he cares a lot about what people think. She tells him that he sounded awesome. Bianca asks him to go to the drive in with her and he declines, saying he has an evening basketball game. He tries to get her to come, but she says she's not into it.
In the evening, Drew asks K.C. and Dave if it's too late to RSVP for Trivia night at Little Miss Steaks. K.C. exclaims that he picked up a ringer. Drew says that she's not a ringer, but really cool. He tells them that he's with Bianca. They stare at him shocked and tell him that their girlfriends hate her and bringing her out would be awkward. K.C. says that he doesn't need any distractions. Drew points out to him that Jenna's pregnancy is a distraction. After half time, Drew sees Bianca looking for him. K.C. tells Drew not to let her distract him. While they are playing, Drew gets distracted by Bianca. K.C. passes the ball and it hits him in the head. Coach Armstrong calls a time-out and tells Drew to focus. K.C. tells him again to not let her distract him and Dave tells him not to let her get in the way of finals. Drew scores the last point of the game and everyone gets together. Bianca congratulates them and asks where they're going. Drew asks if they're all going to Little Miss Steaks. Jenna looks at K.C. and asks rudely if Bianca is going. Drew and Bianca look at all their facial expressions. Drew says that he can tell that he's not wanted and departs with Bianca.
Sub Plot
Riley turns to talk to Zane during class. He asks him if he wants to do anything. Riley quickly assumes that Zane wants to watch the Hockey game on the big screen with him. Zane suggests that Riley goes to an art show with him. Riley tells Zane that it would be weird if he went, because he's not artsy, so he declines. Zane gets upset with Riley and says he thought they could do something he wanted to do. Zane left the classroom and Riley started walking with Anya. He tells Anya that he turned down the offer to go to the art show, because Riley thinks it will suck. She tells him that doing things that suck is what being a good boyfriend is about. Riley asks Anya what people wear to an art show and says that he's going to need a make-over. Anya goes over to Riley's house and helps him pick out an outfit for the art show. Riley cuts his hair and Anya finds an outfit to wear, saying that she's sure that Zane will love it.
Riley goes to the art show and sees Zane standing with Thomas. Zane sees Riley and walks over to him and is surprised to see him. Thomas walks over to them and he and Riley meet. Riley claims that he loves the local art community when Zane says that Thomas is a contributor. While they are viewing art, Riley tries to explain the art. When they get to one painting, Riley calls it a "terrible finger painting", not knowing that it was Thomas's artwork. Thomas storms off and Zane follows him.
When Riley gets home he lays down and his mom tells him that he has company. Assuming it was Anya, he was surprised to see Zane. He tells Zane that he shouldn't have gone and Zane reassures him that Thomas will get over it. Riley tells him that since art was his scene, he tried to pretend like he liked art. Zane tells him that since they just got over two of Riley's problems that they shouldn't create another one. He assures him that he doesn't have to pretend to like art and told him jokingly that he sucked at it. Riley asked him how Thomas took his criticism and Zane tells him that he had to talk him out of the bathroom for an hour. They both laughed and Zane said he was a drama queen, but he would get over it.
Riley tells Zane that he can't believe how lucky he is and kisses Zane. They began to make out and Riley's mom comes walks in on them saying "snacks for the study buddies." It startled both of them and she is shocked about what she saw. She put down the plate and left the room. Riley slammed the door shut and Zane apologized for that. Riley said he's not ready for the conversation. Zane tells him that it's coming whether he's ready or not and asks him if he wants him to stay. Riley tells him that he'll just deal. Zane gets ready to leave and he kisses Riley on the cheek and wishes him good luck. Zane leaves and Riley's left alone.
Third Plot

She invites her over for a sleepover, and while there, Malika asks if she can sleepover again next week and sneak out to see her boyfriend, promising Alli that she'd always be back by sunrise.

LONG BEACH - A union-backed ballot measure that could mandate hoteliers to pay employees a "living wage" has scored endorsements from 90 small Long Beach business owners, proponents said Thursday.
The announcement of support coincided with a Shop Hop event on Fourth Street Retro Row, where about 50 hotel workers and community members visited four small businesses that support the initiative.
"People should be paid a fair wage," said Chris Giaco, co-owner of In Retrospect, a Fourth Street vintage clothing store. "It's a piece of a larger economic puzzle. To get any economy going, people need a little more money in their pockets."
Members of the Long Beach Coalition for Good Jobs and a Healthy Community - an alliance of community, labor, religious and student leaders and groups - gathered enough signatures this year to get the citywide measure on the November ballot. If approved by Long Beach voters in November, the living wage ordinance would require hotels with more than 100 rooms to pay employees at least $13 an hour.
It would also ensure that service charges are remitted to the appropriate workers and mandate a minimum five paid sick days per year for full-time employees.
The initiative has drawn opposition from hoteliers and business leaders, including Randy Gordon, president and CEO of the Long Beach Area Chamber of Commerce.
Gordon said government shouldn't regulate what businesses pay in wages and added that the initiative will open the door for mandating retailers and restaurateurs to do the same.
"So it's OK for hotels to pay the increase and not other businesses?" he said. "It's going to be hard on all hotels, especially smaller hotels."
He added that some of the businesses wouldn't support the measure if they were under the mandate.
"I'd be willing to bet you that most of them don't pay $13 a hour," he said.
Esther Kim, owner of Blu Button Boutique, said she has two part-time employees that she pays more than the California minimum wage of $8 an hour but not quite the living wage of $13 an hour. She wouldn't say what she pays them.
"Big profitable corporations can pay a little bit more to workers with families," she said. "I pay my employees more than what these big hotels are paying theirs, and their work is more strenuous. If I had their profits, I would pay it (the living wage.)"

Impressions? I sent out for my free upgrade(just bought a laptop last week at Circuit City) and should get it in the next month.
I've been using the Office suite since mid December. It's got a sleeker new look to it and the drop down menus are different. It has more "stuff" up at the top so you don't have to dig through menus to find the different features. There is also quite a bit of content that links to the web but I don't really use it too much. The one thing that irritated me was I created a document in Word 2007 and then tried to open it in an older version and had some trouble (maybe just my ignorance on how to do it).
Overall, I don't really think it would be worth the $$ when the same basic features are all there. I can see why someone using the products in an office may get more out of it but for the everyday person who writes papers, makes powerpoint presentations, and makes tables in Excel, it really doesn't make a huge difference.
I haven't tried out the whole operating system yet. I really just want to wait and see what bugs need to get worked out in service pack type upgrades. I'll probably get a new computer in 2 years when I graduate from college so that will probably be when I try it out (unless it's really popular and gets great reviews my tech side will kick in and I'll have to get it).
Can up upgrade your XP to Vista? I read where Vista is more of a "horse" on memory and such, but I have a new computer that has alot of memory and processor.
Or should people wait till all the patches come out first to fix da bugs?

Get your nunchucks and the keys to your dad's car. I know where we can get a gun
I'll hold off on Vista until dual-core processors become the norm.
On a side note, I never find any of the "new, easier, more useable" features to be new, easier, or more useable than the old ones. I hate upgrades that force me to spend time re-learning how to do simple tasks. I spend years using certain buttons and menus, then the "new, easier" version comes out and I have to spend time figuring out why "File > Edit > Preferences" doesn't work anymore.

Kate Middleton + 7 More Stunning Real Life Princesses
In honor of National Princess Week, we salute smart, hard working, funny and gorgeous princesses.
-Diane Artzberger
Girls just want to have fun and Princesses are no exception. Of course they have to have their fun in the public eye while looking perfect, never neglecting their official duties and representing their country with elegance and dignity. Here's a look at the Princesses of Europe who do it all with style and a smile whether it's opening a children's hospital ward, navigating state visits or skiing down the slopes at Verbier, which in case you didn't know, is the place for the royal family vacation photo op.
1. Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden
Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden is a 34 year old new mommy to baby Estelle, who was born last month. She's the heiress to the throne of Sweden. Victoria is known for her down to earth manner and has been her happiest since finally marrying her longtime boyfriend Daniel Westling in 2010. She's publicly disclosed a past battle with anorexia and has studied at Yale. Her birthday is July 14, 1977.
2. Crown Princess Mary of Denmark
The Crown Princess Mary of Denmark (born February 5, 1972) is the first striking brunette to take Europe by storm. Crown Princess Mary's not only an age defying mom (she's 40) to 4 kids including twins born last year, but she's donned fatigues to complete officer training to become a lieutenant in Denmark's Home Guard. Then she and journeyed to Afghanistan to visit the Danish troops stationed there. This super fashionable princess also has a special place in her heart for McQueen and Prada.
3. Crown Princess Mette Marit of Norway
The Crown Princess Mette Marit of Norway. This Nordic beauty stole the heart of her Prince while being not only a commoner but a single mom with a past. The 38 year old is a self confessed bookworm, active in HIV/Aids work and is the only princess you'll find on Twitter, @CrownPrincessMM. You can send her books for her birthday, August 19, 1973. Mette Marit has also recently had to deal with the loss of her stepbrother who was killed in last year's Norwegian massacre.

Press Statement: Meeting with leadership of the Syrian National Coalition
On Thursday, 25 July 2013, German Ambassador Peter Wittig hosted a meeting of the leadership of the Syrian National Coalition with representatives of UN member states from different regional groups and the European Union. The delegation of the Syrian Coalition was led by its newly elected President Ahmed Al-Jarba and also included senior members Mr. Michel Kilo, Dr. Burhan Ghalioun and Dr. Najib Ghadbian.
The purpose of the meeting was to provide the Syrian Coalition's leadership with an opportunity to engage with a wider group of Member States ahead of an informal meeting with Security Council members, scheduled for 26 September. Representatives of the Syrian National Coalition briefed participants about the situation in Syria, their expectations towards the international community, their perspective on the "Geneva II" conference as well as its recent enlargement and election of a new leadership.
In his opening remarks, Ambassador Wittig commended the Syrian National Coalition for its engagement with the international community in New York, calling them "credible and representative interlocutors which are representing the new Syria to the world". Along with many other participants, he welcomed the Coalition's firm rejection of sectarian extremism and terrorism, its support for a political solution and the reaffirmation of its commitment to a democratic and pluralistic Syria, founded on universal human rights. Ambassador Wittig underlined that there could be no military solution to the conflict in Syria, reminding all participants that "the political track towards the Geneva II Conference is crucial".
Germany is part of the core group of the "Friends of the Syrian People". To alleviate the suffering of the Syrian population, Germany has already provided 220 million USD for humanitarian assistance in Syria and neighbouring countries since the beginning of the conflict and is ready to provide further assistance of up to 260 million USD. Germany has also agreed to host 5,000 Syrian refugees. Together with the United Arab Emirates and the National Coalition, Germany is currently setting up a multi-donor trust fund which will support the population in areas where help is most needed and access is particularly difficult.

Jonas Carlson. Photo: Chris Wellhausen.
Good vibes might be hard to come by in this day and age, but Jonas Carlson is good-vibes ground zero. This ultra-chill, ultra-positive Swedish ripper has all the technical mastery of his Scandinavian forefathers mixed with a healthy dose of backcountry prowess and a little something wacky sprinkled on top—just for good measure. Here's a look into three days of Jonas systematically destroying every feature at DC's Park City Mountain Lab while filming for his part in Transworld's These Days and still finding plenty of time to enjoy the finer things in life.—Jennifer Sherowski
I heard you quit snus. Is that true? If so, I'm totally shocked. I remember you with a snus in every waking moment—even some sleeping moments.
Yes, a year and a half ago. It's for sure been hard—I'm still kinda missing it. Stoked to be off it, though!
What's making you happy these days?
Maybe a latte in the morning that just tastes extra good. I'm excited about life in general—looking at it from a sweet angle, having friends around me, and makin' it happen.
What's stressing you out?
Life can be stressful sometimes. The situation on earth is bothering me—just so fucked up!
So what's the Mountain Lab all about?
The Lab is all about having fun in super mellow conditions and using your imagination. There're always a shitload of things you wanna do!
Well is it just somewhere for you guys to go have fun when you're in town or more of an official "team training grounds?"
For sure an official team training grounds [laughter]. It's just a perfect place to try stuff out and hang with bros—shooting or whatever!
Do you have a favorite Mountain Lab feature?
The staircase up-flat-down—way many opportunities to do stuff.
What's it like riding for DC? Did you get the diamond DC ring yet?
Wow, what to say? I don't wanna ride for anyone else—they're taking real good care of me. Sometimes Zack [DC Team Manager Zack Dalton] even makes us breakfast! It's just awesome—super rad people. But nope, no ring so far.
What song was listened to most often on your iPod during these three days?
"Steady Rollin'" by Two Gallants.
What are the top five things you spend your money on during the wintertime?
One: Starbucks. Two: Starbucks. Three: Starbucks. Four: Food. Five: A shitload of gas.
Who are your absolute favorite shreds to ride with?
The Transworld These Days crew, DC shredders, and CAPiTA dudes, for sure! I can't just pick a few.
Who is your biggest snowboarding influence?
Hmm, if I see something interesting, then I take it in—doesn't matter who it is. It really could be anyone. But some radical dudes are Travis Parker, Chad Otterstrom, and Devun Walsh.
What's the most scared you've ever been on your snowboard?
Any time I start thinking, is this even possible?! I like being scared sometimes, though—it reminds me about the danger. And the feeling afterwards is better.
What's the gnarliest thing you've ever seen someone do on a board with your own eyes?
When Robbie Walker got real f—ked up in the B.C. backcountry and I had to carry him down from the mountain. B.C. can be gnarly—it's so far to everything.
What's the most important lesson you've learned in life so far?
Always look at stuff from the bright side.
When was the last time you thought you were going to break under the pressure?
I never think that—I just go. I do need summer once in a while, though.

Quick Fixes for Audio Problems
Last Updated: Fri, 18 Nov 2016 > Related Articles
Find instructions on how to resolve common audio related problems.
Many audio problems can be resolved by using the following quick fixes.
|Possible Causes
|Quick Fixes
|No Audio
|MUTE button on the remote was pressed
|Press the MUTE button once. If audio does not return, press MUTE again to return it to its original status.
|Loose audio cables
|Make sure loosened audio cables are plugged in.
|Auxiliary audio equipment is set up incorrectly
|Make sure the equipment is turned on, volume turned up, and connected or switched to either the TV, receiver, DVD, or VCR. Review connection diagrams that came with the equipment.
|Buzzing Audio
|Wrong device button on remote control was pressed
|Press each of the device buttons only once, beginning with CBL (then TV, VCR or DVD, then AUX). If buzzing did not stop, press the Power button on the remote to turn off then back on the system.
|Distorted audio
|Audio cables are damaged
|Replace audio cables.
|Speakers are damaged
|Replace speakers.
|Skipping audio
|Receiver needs to reboot
|Reboot the receiver by unplugging the power cord, waiting 10 seconds, and plugging it back in. The program guide data will be missing for 15 to 30 minutes.
|No audio from the center or surround speakers of a Home Theater receiver connected to the cable receiver.
|Not all programs feature full surround sound. In some cases, the programs may only contain left and right audio channels.
|This is normal operation. No fix needed.
No Audio on Local Channels
If you have audio on most channels, but have silence on some or all of your local network channels, you may have the Secondary Audio Programming (SAP) turned ON. Complete the following steps to turn off SAP.
- Press the Settings or MENU button on the digital remote.
Result: The Settings screen displays.
- Choose from the following options.
|Disable SAP displays
|Press the Select button.
|Choose SAP Language displays
|Use the left or right arrow buttons to choose the English setting and press Select.
|PREFERENCES displays
|Scroll to the Language option, select Audio, then select the option labeled Primary or the one labeled English.
If the above quick fix doesn't work, there may be a problem with MTS, Stereo, or another SAP issue. Try the following:
- Verify in the program listing guide that the program has MTS, Stereo, or SAP features.
- Check to see if the MTS, STEREO or SAP light on the TV or VCR is on.
If the light is not on, try the following:
- Push the MTS, STEREO, or SAP button on the TV or VCR.
- Adjust the fine tuning on the TV set to restore the stereo or SAP.
Low Audio Level on Premium Channels
If you are experiencing decreased audio on some premium channels, or you are having difficulty hearing the dialogue, however the background sounds come through clearly, the "Audio: Range" is out of adjustment.
To correct this, follow these steps:
- Press the SETTINGS button twice.
- Locate Audio: Range in the menu.
|You would like the best audio quality
|Choose the Narrow option.
|You have a stereo audio system connected
|Choose Normal or Wide.
Not all programs are compatible with the Wide setting, so the volume may appear to be washed out or too low to hear without turning the volume up extremely high.
Poor Audio Quality
Try the following fixes for issues with poor audio quality:
- Check the Music Choice or DMX digital light indicator:
- If it blinks, check all connections from the wall to the MC or DMX converter.
- If the light is solid, check all audio connections from the MC or DMX converter, through the stereo and out to the speakers.
- Check to see if there are worn selector switches, volume knobs, or tone controls as these can cause poor audio quality.
If the audio problem persists after taking these steps, contact your Cox cable customer service representative for assistance.
Static / Buzzing in Audio
If you hear a static type sound, or buzzing in the audio while you watch a program, the audio settings between your TV and the receiver may not be set within the optimal quality range. You can correct these settings by doing the following:
- Using the volume control buttons on the TV, turn the volume all the way down to 0.
- Using the volume controls on the receiver, turn up the volume until it is at it's maximum.
- Using the TV's volume controls again; raise the volume to a comfortable level.

If a married man has an affair with a woman, which leads to her getting pregnant, what should the man's relationship be with the child? Does it make a difference if he and his wife reconcile?
I have heard a woman in this situation (the wife whose husband's affair led to a baby) and she feels like it's reasonable to have no contact with the child because her husband didn't want the baby, told the mistress he didn't want it, and she chose to continue the pregnancy and have the child. They pay child support for the child but have zero interest in the child or having any relationship with it. He is a great father to his other children, but is an absent father to this child.
What are your opinions on doing this? Is it okay for the man to have no relationship with this child purely because it was the product of an affair? Is it okay for the wife to tell the husband he isn't to have any contact with the child or the mistress because it will ruin their chances of reconciling?
ETA: So, news broke that Dan Marino had a child conceived during his affair with another CBS employee that was born in June 2005. He apparently gave this women millions and she moved to TX to raise the baby as part of the deal. From what he said about "taking responsibility for it personally and financially", as well as the following statement, it seems like his wife knew about this:
"My wife and I have been married for almost 30 years and have six children together," Marino said. "And we continue to be a strong and loving family."
From what little there is to know, Marino would have random visits with the child. The only reason this is coming out now is because the mom is getting married and wants to change the childs last name from her maiden name to her new husbands name. So, is the way Marino handled it a decent way of doing it? Keeping your family intact, giving the mom money and periodically seeing the other child?

Top Priorities
Get Veteran Power Bat
The Nats field the youngest team in the majors, and through various trades, have also added depth to their farm system. The one mistake they did make is not getting any value for Alfonso Soriano, however, they really wanted to resign him though, so you cant fault them too much. They have Ryan Zimmerman, Austin Kearns, and Felipe Lopez, but they are pretty young, and they could use a veteran big bat in the middle of their lineup. If they decide to spend the money, I think Adam Dunn would be an ideal fit, as he has huge power, and would reunite him with Kearns and Lopez.
Look For
Adam Dunn- He is a Left Handed Power bat, get him and hit Zimmerman in the 5 spot, that should be a very potent heart of the order.
Starting Pitching Help
They have some quality pitchers in the farm system, but in the best case scenario, they wont be ready until late this year, and most likely mid next year. They need too add some pitchers to be respectable, and keep the seat warm for their prospects coming up,
Look For
Paul Byrd-He has always been a solid starter and could add a respectable starter to the Nats rotation.
Not a power pitcher, but he gets outs. Nearly threw a no hitter earlier this year, until the game was called due to snow.
Bullpen Help
They have Chad Cordero, but he has not had his A game this year, he has been ok, but he is the only pitcher in their pen that has a sub 3.50 era. They need to find a setup man and a middle reliever. They could also use a lefty specialist.
Look For
Scott Linebrink-Could be a good setup man for Cordero, and may be attracted to a pitchers park in RFK stadium.
Top 3 Prospects
Chris Marrero SS/3B/LF Opa Locka Florida
-This guy has drawn comparisons to A-rod and Pujols for his plate awareness and hitting ability and power. In Low A he hit .293 with 14 homeruns and 53 RBI. This guys ceiling is unlimited.
Collin Balester RHP Hunting Beach California
-Last year after being moved to AA he is 1-0 with a 1.83 ERA in 3 starts. He has 10 Ks in 19 2/3 innings, so he isnt a big K guy, but he gets guys out, which is what this game is all about. Doesnt have great stuff, but knows how to use his stuff to get outs.
Colton Willems RHP John Caroll Florida
-This guy is the exact opposite as Balester, he may be the better prospect long term, and has better stuff, but Balester is more MLB ready. Despite that Willems stuff is downright nasty, but he is yet to put it all together, but when he does, he my be a viable ace for this team.

I could see the Nationals getting a pitcher like Paul Byrd but I couldn't see the Indians getting rid of him... I think he is still signed for 2 more seasons and has more wins than walks this season, including ZERO non-intentional walks in his last 72 IP.

Great post...I agree that we do need a power bat and some starting pitching but our bull pen has been one of the strongest parts of the team this year. Consistently having to make spot starts or comming in early due to our SP not making quality starts our BP has done an admirable job this year. Jon Rauch has performed well as a set up man for Cordero as well. While we didn't trade Soriano at the deadline we did eventually get prospects for him using our supplemental picks(Josh Smoker[not signed yet but likely will sign], Jordan Zimmerman[pitching well in Short Season Vermont])
As far as our prospects are concerned here's a great sight that covers our farm:
Here is a list of our top 30 prospects:
All of our best prospects are really in Advanced A and below right now due to the fact that MLB ravaged our farm system and new management has only had three drafts to begin to rectify the problem and We didn't have ownership till last year so our first real draft with real money was this year and so far our draft class is looking among the top in MLB.
My top 3 are:
1. Chris Marrero: lit it up in Low A Hagerstown as the original poster has said and has continued to do the same in Potomac.
2. Ross Detwiler SP: #6 overall pick of the 2007 draft. Already has low-mid 90's fast ball which should increase when we add some muscle to his wirery frame. Has a dominant curve ball and a good change up too.
3. Glenn Gibson SP: Right now is pitching in Short Season Vermont came out of the same draft class as Willems and is comming straight out of HS as well yet he's pitching better and has great stuff as well.
Honorable Mention:
Collin Ballester SP
Colton Willems SP
Esmailyn Gonzalez SS-International signing from last year said to have loads of potential but is only doing average in the GCL right now.
Brandon Jacobs: "The NFL needs safeties like him, the way he hits, it sets the tone. Me, myself, I'm not going to allow the tone to get set by him hitting me like that."

The Nationals do have potential. But their starting pitching has just been ugly.
Ryan Zimmerman is a stud, and he's one of the best players in the entire league.
Kory Casto has some promise, but he wasn't good when he played at the beginning of the season. Does anyone know where he's playing? I know last season he was playing for the Harrisburg Senators.
If their talented pitchers can stay healthy, they should improve. But they still need to add someone badly to their rotation.

very true we don't have any stud pitchers currently in the majors. Even if all our pitchers were healthy we'd still have no legit Ace in our rotation. John Patterson and Shawn Hill are both injury plagued. Hill being younger I still have hope the guy maybe being part of the rotation Patterson I think we should move on from that project. Jason Bergman and Matt Chico have potential to be good back of the rotation guys in the future.
Totally agree with you on Zimmerman alot of ppl don't realize he's only 22 years old.
Jesus Flores is another good youngster we have in the majors got him in the Rule 5 draft from the Mets looks to be our future catcher.
Kasto is playing at Triple A columbus right now. But the fact that he's playing 3B down there shows to me that club isn't looking for him in the future since Zimmerman is already playing third in the Majors.

They just sent Detwiler to the minors. I don't know about Willems or Balester, but I would expect to see all three before the All Star Break.
The Nats seriously have terrible starting pitching. Patterson was released and Shaun Hill is starting the season on the DL.

I was good friends with him in high school (we both went to Wentzville Holt and his mom was our English teacher) and still talk to him every once in a while (I was at his draft party he had, and called him last year when he got called up to the majors) He's a really cool guy and I'm glad to see he is so highly regarded, haha I remember when we were sophmore's and he started hitting 92-93 mph everyone was goin crazy...

Well out of the steps of rebuilding:
1. Realize your team needs a fresh start[1 year]
2. Stockpile prospects[4 years long]
3.Win again for 6 years then restart at one.[6 years]
We are in the begginning of two so it will be 3 more years til real good stuff happens.

'War and Peace'
News & Events
Padraig O'Malley, the John Joseph Moakley Distinguished Professor of Peace and Reconciliation at the University of Massachusetts-Boston, came to campus to deliver his talk, "War & Peace: Illusions We Comfort Ourselves With." The address was part of the first John Quincy Adams Foreign Affairs Distinguished Speaker series.
Mr. O'Malley's career as a peacemaker began in 1975, when he brought people from all parties to the conflict in Northern Ireland to the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and has grown to include numerous countries and regions of the world divided by conflict. He helped to facilitate the Anglo Irish Agreement (1985), the Good Friday Agreement (1998), and the Helsinki Agreement (2008).
Based on his philosophy that cultures in conflict are in the best position to help other cultures in conflict, O'Malley created the Forum for Cities in Transition from Conflict in 2010. Three annual conferences have resulted in more than 70 agreed outcomes.
Among many others, O'Malley has received the Peacemaker's Award from the Association of Dispute Resolution; the Liberal International Freedom Prize (European Union); the Dispute Resolution Award, University of Massachusetts Boston; the International Association of Universities' Peace Award; and the Christopher Edward-Biggs Memorial Prize for his book, The Uncivil Wars: Ireland Today, for its contribution to Anglo/Irish understanding.
The talk was presented by The Minnock Center for International Engagement. (photo by Matthew Weatherbee, '17, University News)

Ten States Already Have Abortion Restrictions Texas is Considering
They have been denounced as 'anti woman' and 'damaging to women's health, but ten states currently have on their books the abortion restrictions which are being proposed in Texas, and all of them tell 1200 WOAI news that there has been no adverse impacts to women's health reported.
The Texas proposal would limit abortion to 20 weeks gestation, and Denny Hartford with Vital Signs Ministry in Nebraska, where similar laws are already on the books, says there are no indications of any problems.
"I think Planned Parenthood and other pro abortion groups wanted there to be problems so that could become part of their pitch," he said. "But no, that hasn't happened."
The other provisions of the Texas proposal are nothing new, either.
Five states have the provision which would require abortion clinics to be regulated as 'ambulatory surgical centers.'
Hartford says women who want to get an abortion in Nebraska face no problems in getting one.
"As a pro life activist, I would be delighted if that were the case," Hartford said. "Unfortunately it is not. This is just an incremental change, and it shows that we do care about women's health."
Supporters of the Texas proposal point to the horrors of an 'abortion chop shop' in Philadelphia, where an abortionist was convicted of brutalizing women and killing newly born infants.
Hartford agrees that the measures which Texas is considering, and which are already the law in Nebraska, do indeed make it a lot less likely, that unscrupulous for profit abortionists will prey on low income women.
"It's just demonstration that when the unborn child is feeling pain, which has been pretty clearly established, this is common sense legislation where the state moves in to protect human life," Hartford said.
The Texas Senate will hold hearings on the abortion restrictions today and tomorrow. The full Senate will be back in session next week to discuss the proposals.

PHOTO: Kendall Jenner is Kim's mini-me
(Yahoo!) - Kendall Jenner isn't wasting any time.
Less than three weeks after turning 18 on November 3, she's already posting the kind of pics that we've come to expect from her most famous older sister, Kim Kardashian.
On Monday, she shared a selfie that could easily be mistaken for a picture of Kim, from the soft, dreamy look in her eyes to the heavy mascara. "Night out in NYC in my fluffy sweater," she captioned the photo.
The pic she posted the next day was … not quite as safe for work, although Kendall didn't seem at all worried about how people would react.
"Sneak peak of today's shoot with the amazing @nomadrj,"she wrote about her session with Australian photographerRussell James. "I can't wait for you guys to see the rest of the photos!"
After some comments made it obvious that not everyone shared Kendall's excitement, Khloé did what any good big sister would do and defended her sibling.
I love seeing all of these haters comments. Naomi, Kate, Cindy.... All fabulous models.... Models and photographers take beautiful (1)
— Khloé (@KhloeKardashian) November 19, 2013
Artistic images. And I don't hear you birds chirp then. Sit down and enjoy the view! #SorryNotSorry
— Khloé (@KhloeKardashian) November 19, 2013
Kim didn't weigh in on the pics publicly, but it's not too difficult to guess how she felt about them …
The future Mrs. Kanye West is surely proud that Kendall is already a model, reality star, clothing designer, and a soon-to-be author, all while still a teenager. When Kim was the same age, she was just more than a year away from walking down the aisle with music producer Damon Thomas. And she was even further away from fame as a sidekick to her childhood friend Paris Hilton, the star of a certain short film, and, of course, the center of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."

I'm putting this in the debate team to avoid starting a brawl in my birth club :)
I really have no idea who I want to vote for. While I care very much about fellow citizens and other women, I don't use planned parenthood, don't plan on having an abortion ever, and gay rights isn't on the top of my list. (These are the top arguements I hear when I say I'm not sure). I care about the economy and jobs. Education, housing, and not struggling.
My boyfriend and I are upper lower class, working on climbing out of some struggling. We each have one child, and I am in school.
I just don't know who I want to vote for, or even if I want to vote. I know that this is a right others fought for and there are other people there to take votes that I could choose. But I don't even know if I want to do that. I voted at 18 and 22 and voted Democratic and this is the first election that I really struggled with.
How did you choose who you are voting for, and if you aren't voting why not? (You don't even have to say who are choosing if you don't want to, just what factors swayed you? )

Re: The "Ravens Nation" invades San Diego thread
Field 3, Row 9.
As i live out here, I will give some friendly hints:
Stay in Mission Valley as it makes getting to the stadium easier.
As for restaurants, there are plenty in the area. If you want a great burger, jump on the 8 and head to Hodad's in Ocean Beach. You will not regret it.
If you want great mexican, seriously just point in a direction and you've found it. You cannot go wrong with Old Town, but look for the plethora of taco shops around the area. Rubio's is a chain mexican food restaurant here that is light years above any mexican in Baltimore.
If you want to be by the water, check out Seaport Village downtown as well. A nice place to go and have food & drinks by the water.
If you have any other questions of where to go or what to be, shoot me a message and I will be as helpful as I can.
If you are a craft beer fan, head to university heights and you will also find more craft beer bars and gastropubs that you will not be without a tall frosty & or a headache.
For the best Ravens bar in San Diego, head to Dirty Birds in Pacific Beach.
If you are into craft beer, try Ballast Point, Stone Brewery, Lagunitas, Green Flash, and I could go on and on and on and on and on.
Hope this helps and also look for 2 large Ravens party buses tailgating before.
And most importantly, Welcome to M&T Bank West!

UPLAND - The Upland Animal Shelter recently completed their second year participating in the PetSmart Charities "Free Roaming Cats" spay/neuter program, which is sponsored by the PetSmart Charities Grant.
"This program has succeeded far beyond my expectations," said Jon Knowlton, animal services supervisor, in an email. "Usually a program such as this takes about 5 years to see real results."
Cat intake has declined by 32 percent and euthanasias have declined by 56 percent from May 2010 through May 2013.
In 2010-11, the shelter took in 1,444 cats and euthanized 580. In 2011-12, the shelter took in 1,253 cats and euthanized 306.
"This is remarkable and is a direct result of the incredible assistance from the community," Knowlton said.
The Upland Animal Shelter is at 1275 San Bernardino Rd. in Memorial Park.
For more information on adoptable pets call the shelter at 909-931-4185.

Words you wish you'd known before!
Hello! This week I want to check that you've remembered and understood the adjectives for people from my last two posts. So, have a look at the words below and choose the best set of synonyms for them:
Categories: General Language Talk
Rough or smooth?
This week I'll be introducing seven words which are used literally to describe physical properties and metaphorically to informally describe different types of people. Again, they're all words which my non-British friend wishes she'd known before moving here! But a word of warning – none of them is very complimentary!

British Pantomime
I've just been to Portugal for a few days of winter sun and was amused when I saw these holiday makers dressed as Santas. It reminded me that with Christmas just around the corner, all over Britain people will be dressing up for pantomimes. In the festive season, the pantomime, or 'panto' as most people call it, is performed in theatres everywhere. So, what is a panto? In brief, it's a fun show aimed at children. It apparently originated in Italy and came to England in the 17th Century, we immediately took it to our hearts and it has remained a quintessential part of British Christmas ever since.

A celebration of writing, performing, and honing one's craft, New Orleans' 29th annual Tennessee Williams Festival – March 25-29, 2015 – will have you shouting in the street a-la Stanley Kowalski.
No, really.
Also known as the Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary Festival, the Tennessee Williams Festival's mission is to entertain and inspire both fans and creators through a host of performances, seminars, contests, walking tours, and, of course, food and drink – the Tennessee Williams Fest is held in New Orleans French Quarter, after all!A New Orleans resident during one of his most creative periods, Tennessee Williams' fame as an author and playwright was far reaching, especially after much of his best work was adapted for the silver screen. Films like "The Glass Menagerie," "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," "Night of the Iguana," and "The Rose Tattoo" packed movie theaters around the globe.
More than just a home and workplace to the writer, New Orleans became the background for many of Tennessee Williams' works, such as the classic "A Streetcar Named Desire."
Beyond celebrating Tennessee Williams' works, the New Orleans Literary Festival's ulterior motive is the promotion of creative expression through the written and spoken word and, as such, has assembled a stellar array of guest speakers for literary panel discussions. There will also be master classes offering intensive, one-on-one interactions with established writers, directors, and performers.
On stage during the 2015 Tennessee Williams Festival: "Suddenly Last Summer," one of Williams' most celebrated plays, will be performed at New Orleans' renowned Southern Repertory Theatre.
Finally, the Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary Festival offers shouting in the street.
The "Stella!" Shouting Contest is exactly what it sounds like: wanna-be Stanley Kowalski's, often bedecked in sleeveless undershirts, do their best to shout "Stella!" with the most crowd (and judge!) convincing appeal they can muster. Prizes will be awarded for the best shouters and all contestants have the chance to take home a hoarse … throat.
The 2015 Tennessee Williams Festival
March 25th – 29th
New Orleans' French Quarter

Whatever brings you to the Big Easy, don't settle for less when it comes to accommodations. Staying at a locally owned and operated New Orleans bed and breakfast inn will complete your New Orleans getaway experience like no other lodging can.

Egypt, Jordan set to return envoys (JERUSALEM POST) By KHALED ABU TOAMEH AND HERB KEINON 02/03/05)
Source: http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull&cid=1107280304485
JERUSALEM POST Articles-Index-Top
Egypt and Jordan are likely to announce the return of their ambassadors to Israel at the four way Israel, Palestinian Authority, Egypt, Jordanian summit scheduled for Tuesday in Sharm el-Sheikh, Israeli diplomatic officials said.
One official said that both Cairo and Amman had been looking for the right time to send back the ambassadors they recalled shortly after the start of violence in September 2000, and that a cease-fire call at the summit may provide the perfect opportunity.
Egypt´s intelligence chief Omar Suleiman extended the surprise invitation for the summit at a meeting with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in Jerusalem Wednesday morning. Invitations were also extended to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and Jordanian King Abdullah II. All of the leaders accepted the invitation.
Sharon´s office issued a statement saying the invitation was issued "in light of progress in the security talks with the Palestinians."
Sharon and Abbas were originally to have met next Tuesday in Jerusalem. US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will be in Israel and the PA for talks on Sunday and Monday, but US officials said she has a packed schedule, and is due in Rome on Tuesday and they knew of no plans for her to join the summit.
The summit will mark the first time Sharon will meet Abbas since he was elected PA chairman last month, and also the first time Sharon will have a face-to-face meeting with Mubarak since taking office in 2001. While the relations between the two men after Sharon took office had a stormy beginning, they have steadily improved since Sharon announced his disengagement plan in December 2003.
Although they haven´t met since Sharon took office, they do have frequent phone conversations. Mubarak´s release last December of Azzam Azzam improved the atmosphere tremendously.
"Mubarak is trying to create regional momentum for the process," one senior official in the Prime Minister´s Office said. "He wants to show everyone that there are not only those opposed to the process, like Hizbullah and Iran, but also those who support it. He is concerned that extreme elements want to torpedo the process, and wants to show everyone that Abbas has chaperons."
The official said that Israel agreed to hold the meeting in Egypt as a show of appreciation to Mubarak for playing an active role in encouraging Abbas to deploy forces in Gaza and calm down the situation. Israel also wants to see Egypt actively involved in patrolling its border with Gaza and preventing the smuggling of terrorist and arms.
Abbas, who on Wednesday concluded a two-day visit to Turkey, voiced optimism over the planned summit. "We are hopeful," he told reporters at Ankara Airport. "We will go to the meeting with hope." He has reportedly accepted an invitation to visit Iran as well.
A source close to Abbas said the PA chairman has always expressed willingness to meet with Sharon. "The problem is not where the summit will take place," the source explained. "Abbas is prepared to meet with Sharon anywhere, but the most important thing is to come up with tangible and fruitful results."
Israeli officials conceded that holding the meeting in Egypt, with Mubarak and Abdullah present, gave it a more dramatic flair than would have been the case had it been held in Jerusalem. But, they said, Sharon would still insist on focusing the discussions on the security steps the Palestinians need to carry out to halt the terror.
Sharon´s chief aide Dov Weisglass is expected to meet Thursday with Palestinian minister Saeb Erekat to discuss the agenda of the meeting.
Vice Prime Minister Shimon Peres told reporters that he was very satisfied by the decision to hold this type of summit. "I imagine they are meeting not to argue, but to conclude things, and the wider the conclusions, the better," he said. (© 1995-2005, The Jerusalem Post 02/03/05)

So here I am at last doing the practice part of the OSWP study guide. Whe I try to do the WEP Shared Key Athentication exercise it doesn't end up successfull.
I set up the lab with an WRT54GL (tried with an WRT54GS too) and both linux and windows as victim clients.
When I deauthenticate the victim client from the AP I see Broken SKA: AP_mac in the right top corner of airodump-ng. All standard capture file are created minus the magical .xor PRGA keystream.
I've tried this with differrent wireless adapters and both BT5, BT5R1 and BT3 os.
Googling around I have found other users reporting the same problem, in the BT4 old forum too and at this link http://trac.aircrack-ng.org/ticket/372.
On the wifu course compatible gear page you state that the WRT54GL is valid for all exercises present in the lab guide could you please dig into this and give me some feedback.
Thanks for your support
