Hi Guys
I am facing a complicated issue of partially locking content on textarea type fields. So far I have searched a lot in Google but nothing seems to have happened as I haven't found any help what so ever. Following is what client wants:
I want to have some of pre-populated contents to be uneditable by the user and only they can add there own contents in the html templates.
Is that really possible to do this using javascript/jquery library ?
If someone knows anything about this,please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,what do you mean by partially?You can make a text field uneditable like this: <input type="text" readonly="readonly" />And a tet area like this: <textarea rows="4" cols="50" readonly="readonly"></textarea>But I'm guessing you already knew that, right?
<input type="text" readonly="readonly" />
<textarea rows="4" cols="50" readonly="readonly"></textarea>
Hi Pullo
Thanks for your reply.
I would like to do something like this:
I will pre-populate textarea with some contents which I need to non-editable but user can add their own with out deleting the pre-populated content.
I think I have able to explain my requirement.
Thanks again.
I suppose, if you really had to, you could place a background image onto the text area and put padding on the area covered by the image so no one can write on it.However, this is not a clean solution.
What I would do if I was you is use a text field for the uneditable part and set the value to the desired text, e.g.:<input type='text' value='This text value is hardcoded or generated by a script and the user can't change it' >
<input type='text' value='This text value is hardcoded or generated by a script and the user can't change it' >
Then follow this by a normal text area:<textarea>type your text here</textarea>
<textarea>type your text here</textarea>
Thanks Pullo for another reply on this issue.
The issue is that client would like the way I have mentioned above.
He has already got flash editor which has this option so he is trying to get same here on the textarea.
Anyway thanks for your reply once more.
Well, good luck with that.If you find a solution it would be nice if you could share it here.
I will of-course share if I find any solution to this.
You could use onkeyup to test if the first part of the textarea content matches what it is supposed to be and change it back if it isn't. That would mean that if they type a one character change into the 'read only' portion it would be immediately changed back and if they pasted something in place of part or all of it the part of what is pasted over the 'read only' section would be immediately changed back. It wouldn't prevent them making a change to the 'read only' portion but it would prevent that change from still being there when they enter another character.
A simpler alternative is to display the fixed portion in a separate 'readonly' textarea immediately before the one they can edit and join the two fields together after the form has been submitted. For example the following displays two overlapping textareas so they look like one with the content of the first being readonly:
.var {margin-top : -15px;border-top:none;}
<fieldset><legend>Textarea with Fixed Text Portion</legend>
<textarea readonly="readonly" cols="50" rows="2">This part of the textarea content is fixed and cannot be changed</textarea><br/>
<textarea class="var" cols="50" rows="10">but the rest of the textarea content can be changed to whatever you want.</textarea>

On Jan. 1, 2011, the first wave of Baby Boomers — 2.8 million of them in this one year alone — will begin turning 65. The U.S. Census Bureau reports that almost 8,000 people a day will celebrate that significant birthday, and it's a process that will continue through 2039 when the last of the 78 million Boomers reaches 65.
The months leading up to this milestone birthday are fraught with decisions about retirement, health care and lifestyles.

LISTEN: Willie Nelson debuts new song 'The Wall'
Listen to Willie Nelson on iHeartRadio
Willie Nelson is sharing a track from his upcoming album. He debuted "The Wall" Tuesday in a website video.
Willie tells Rolling Stone he'd been touring and had grown weary of the road when he wrote "The Wall," and "it turns out it's a pretty good song."
In the song he acknowledges his life and career path, and some of the transgressions he made along the way.
The clip is in the style of a lyric video. But instead of the song's words, viewers see a Nelson timeline featuring career accomplishments and milestones, starting in 1940 when he wrote his first song.
"The Wall" is one of nine tracks Willie wrote for his new album, Band of Brothers, which will be released on June 17th.

I may have stepped aside from regular blogging for two or three years, but some of the projects I talked about back then are still in development. Case in point: Black Nativity, an adaptation of the 1961 Broadway musical.
When I last mentioned it in April 2009, Fox Searchlight was said to be "fast-tracking" the film for release in December of that year — but I don't think I heard anything about it again after that, until today.

GSA Reduces Leasing Fees
August 21, 2006
Contact: Maryanne Beatty, (202) 501-1231
Washington DC – The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Public Buildings Service (PBS) announced that it will reduce the leasing fees it charges to federal customer agencies housed in GSA-managed leased facilities. Starting in FY 2008, PBS will reduce its fee from 8 to 7 percent for the majority of leased space in which agencies are housed. The fee for unique space will be reduced from 6 to 5 percent.
Over the past few years, PBS has been working to restructure and introduce new efficiencies to its leasing program. PBS officials are pleased to be able to financially demonstrate the translation of these improvements by lowering the fees its charges to acquire and administer leased space to federal customer agencies.
"GSA's Public Buildings Service has transformed the way we acquire and manage our leased space by changing the way we do business, stated David L. Winstead, Commissioner of the Public Buildings Service. With new leasing technology and tools and the restructuring of our workforce to meet customer needs, we have increased our efficiencies and are passing on these savings to the federal customer agencies that come to GSA for their workplace needs."
GSA leases over 166 million rentable square feet of space in 7,300 buildings in 2,100 American communities offering a full range of services to the civilian federal agencies that use GSA for its workspace needs. This includes all major cabinet-level departments, independent agencies, commissions, the Federal Judiciary and members of Congress, and represents approximately half of the entire GSA portfolio. For more information on GSA's leasing program, visit www.gsa.gov/leasing.
GSA is a centralized, federal procurement, property management, policy development and information provision agency, created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. In this role, GSA acquires products and services on behalf of federal agencies; plays a key role in developing and implementing government-wide policies; provides services and solutions for the office operations of more than one million federal workers; and encourages a citizen-centric relationship with government by providing a single "point of entry" to the information and services citizens need in a timeframe they can appreciate. This allows citizens to receive accurate, timely and consistent answers and information, and helps federal agencies better respond to citizen inquiries.

As always, home team in CAPS.
SEATTLE 10 1/2 St. Louis
The Seahawks are still flying, and I can't figure out how. But I don't have to. They are in the playoffs, and could be a very dangerous team. They do have something on the line though, because their seeding has not been determined. But by the time they play, it could be.
Seahawks 45-13
Chicago 3 DETROIT
The Bears need to win and get some help. They don't deserve the post season though. The Lions are basically useless. I'll take the Bears.
Bears 20-14
PITTSBURGH 6 1/2 Cleveland
Surprisingly this game is useless, like most of my picks.
Steelers 23-17
Green Bay 3 1/2 MINNESOTA
This is a huge game, more for Minnesota than Green Bay. The Packers will likely be the second seed no matter what, but the Vikings need to win or get some help. I think the Packers will rest some starters eventually in this game. I'll take Minnesota. They need it more.
Vikings 27-24
NEW ENGLAND 10 Miami
There is a good chance the Patriots will know their seeding by the time they play, so this game could mean nothing. Still, the Patriots need the work and Miami will likely let them have it. Since the game could be meaningless, I'll take the Dolphins to cover.
Patriots 29-21
ATLANTA 4 1/2 Tampa Bay
This is a nothing game for the Falcons as they have the number one seed locked up. Look for the reserves very early in this game. The Bucs have been disappointing and I wonder if Josh Freeman is in fact the answer. He might not be.
Falcons 24-10
INDIANAPOLIS 5 Houston
Chuck Pagano returns as Head Coach for the Colts, but the problem is this game is meaningless to them as they are locked in as the number five seed. The Texans desperately need to win to get a first round bye and home field. I would think the Colts would want to win for Pagano, but risking injury doesn't make a lot of sense, plus Houston really needs to win. I like the Texans.
Texans 30-20
NEW ORLEANS 5 Carolina
Ho hum.
Saints 35-28
TENNESSEE 4 Jacksonville
Yawn, even in Tennesee and Jacksonville.
Titans 16-10
DENVER 15 1/2 Kansas City
The Broncos are rolling, and they likely will remain the number two seed. Many are saying the Broncos are overrated because of their soft schedule. No they are not, and they will be extremely dangerous in the playoffs.
Broncos 40-14
CINCINNATI 2 1/2 Baltimore
Both teams are headed to the post season, but oddly this game is still pretty meaningless. The Bengals are locked in as the sixth seed, and the Ravens are the fourth seed barring some stunning losses by other teams. Both teams will likely rest players. I'll take the home team.
Bengals 23-20
SAN FRANCISCO 16 Arizona
The 49ers actually need to win to get a better seeding, plus they got crushed last week so they could use a tune up. Enter Arizona, and the 49ers are now tuned.
49ers 36-13
NEW YORK GIANTS 7 Philadelphia
The Giants need to win and get a ridiculous amount of help, so they are out of the playoffs. They don't deserve it anyway. And it is likely goodbye to Eagles Head Coach Andy Reid. He has been great, but it has gotten stale in Philadelphia and a change needs to be made. I expect one.
Giants 26-17
BUFFALO 3 New York Jets
Welcome to the circus known as the New York Jets, the league's biggest laughingstock right now. Goodbye Rex Ryan, Mike Tannenbaum and Tim Tebow. It was nice knowing you, and I would be surprised if any of those three remain. I am not sure about Mark Sanchez, but he really needs a change in one capacity or another.
Bills 17-13
Game of the Week
WASHINGTON 3 1/2 Dallas
Who would have thought that this game would be for the NFC East title at the beginning of the year, especially in Washington. Dallas must win to get into the playoffs, but the Redskins can still make it with a loss but they need a lot of help. It won't matter. I don't see the Redskins losing, and they could be an interesting team in the post season. Speaking of interesting, watch the offseason in Dallas. That could be entertaining.
Redskins 26-20
Stinker of the Week
SAN DIEGO 4 Oakland
Bye Bye Norv.
Chargers 21-14
Record For Week 16: 9-7 ( 9-7 without the spread )
Record Through Week 16: 109-116-4 ( 130-99 without the spread )
Game of Week Record: 6-10
Stinker of Week Record: 6-10

More Ironic Conservative Complaints About Using "Dictator"
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
And what's so funny is conservatives are utterly blind to the double standard in play here.
As we noted last night, Glenn Beck and others are outraged that some union protesters rallying against budget cuts in Wisconsin are waving signs labeling the state's Republican governor a "dictator."
How dare they??
Of course, the pundits now complaining are the same bright minds who have alternately spent the last two years denouncing the President of The United States as a dictator.
Now adding to the hit parade of offended observers is conservative John Hinderaker at Powerline. Behold his insight [emphasis added]:
A common theme of the union demonstrators in Madison today was that Governor Walker is a "dictator." This showed up on sign after sign. It sheds light, I think, on how public union members in particular, and liberals in general, think. What is going on here is that the voters of Wisconsin have elected a Republican Governor and--overwhelmingly--a Republican legislature, precisely so that they can get the state's budget under control.
Playing the dictator card "sheds a light" on how liberals think, claims Hinderaker, speaking on behalf of a movement that's been calling Obama a dictator for two years running.
Ironic, dontcha think?
Hinderaker goes on to argue that it's not dictators liberals dislike, it's democracy. Of course, last time I checked Obama was democratically elected. In fact, he won in an electoral landslide. And in 2008, Democrats democratically won control of the House and the Senate. Yet the Obama-hating chorus has been calling the president a dictator for nearly 100 weeks now. So what gives?
On that point, Hinderaker offers no insight. Instead, he just plays dumb.

CES 2013: Lenovo Announces 27", Windows 8-Powered "Horizon" Table PC
Brandon Hill
January 6, 2013 6:00 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Lenovo's Horizon will start at $1,700
We have seen large, multi-touch table PC concepts in the past from
companies like Microsoft
. More recently, we've seen Sony tackle the sector with the
Vaio Tap 20
Now, Lenovo is looking to expand its presence in your living room with the 27" IdeaCentre Horizon Table PC. The Horizon can lay on a flat surface (like a table or floor) where multiple users can gather around and interact with the touch interface.
Horizon supports simultaneous 10-finger touch, and even comes with a few cool peripherals to use including E-dice for card-based games and four joysticks (Lenovo currently has backing from Electronic Arts and Ubisoft for games with Horizon support).
When not being used in table mode, the Horizon can easily convert into a regular 27" desktop PC (1920x1080 resolution).
The Horizon runs
Windows 8 Pro
, packs in a third-generation Intel Core i7 processor, up to a NVIDIA GeForce GT 620M graphics card with 1GB of memory, up to 8GB of DDR3 memory, and up to a 1TB HDD. A 64GB SSD can be optionally added. Other features include stereo speakers with Dolby Home Theater v4, Bluetooth and 802.11n, 720p webcam, 6-in-1 media reader, and USB 3.0 support.
Thankfully, the Horizon includes an integrated battery so that families can gather around and interact with the device and not trip over wires. However, don't expect to go cordless for too long -- the integrated battery is only good for a maximum of two hours before you have to go scrambling to find the power cord.
"We've seen technology shifts across the four screens, from the desktop to the laptop, tablet and smartphone, and yet, while people have more computing power than ever before, there is still room for technologies like Horizon that bring people together," said Peter Hortensius, president, Product Group, Lenovo. "Horizon makes personal computing interpersonal computing with shared, collaborative experiences among several people,"
Lenovo's Horizon Table PC will not launch until early summer, and will feature a price tag starting at $1,699.
"Then they pop up and say 'Hello, surprise! Give us your money or we will shut you down!' Screw them. Seriously, screw them. You can quote me on that." -- Newegg Chief Legal Officer Lee Cheng referencing patent trolls

These belong to a group of drugs called narcotics (which literally means sleep-inducing), which includes morphine. They attach themselves to receptors in the brain or nerves and block the transmission of pain.
These drugs don't relieve pain, but they can help to relieve anxiety and help a women relax for several hours during early labor. Some women who are very anxious about the impending pain or of labor and childbirth may seek this sort of medication. Tranquilizers may be given orally, intravenously, or injected into a large muscle. Oral dosage takes the longest to take effect. Some women dislike what tranquilizers do to them, since they may feel drowsy and out of control. If the dose is very high, women may nod off between contractions. It may be hard for a woman to fully remember her labor experience if she's taken tranquilizers. The drugs also effect the baby, decreasing his activity and muscle tone during and after birth. For these reasons, tranquilizers are not for everyone, but in certain circumstances, they can help a woman feel less anxious about labor.

WATCH: 'Belfies Are Selfies Of Your Butt (Bon Iver Song)'
"Can we call butt selfies 'belfies'?" asks a man in the woods pretending to be Bon Iver in the aptly (and informatively) titled "Belfies Are Selfies Of Your Butt." Anything you say, fake Bon Iver.
Given the prevalence of #Belfies on the Instagram accounts of world leaders like Rihanna and Kim Kardashian, this parody video - courtesy of NYC-based comedy troop Political Subversities - couldn't be more well timed. And, what's more, it'd make a damn fine Bon Iver song. (Topic aside.) (Unless Bon's into that sorta thing.)
Will you share your #Belfies too?

Islamic Creationist and a Book Sent Round the World
In the United States, opposition to the teaching of evolution in public schools has largely been fueled by the religious right, particularly Protestant fundamentalism.
Now another voice is entering the debate, in dramatic fashion.
It is the voice of Adnan Oktar of Turkey, who, under the name Harun Yahya, has produced numerous books, videos and DVDs on science and faith, in particular what he calls the "deceit" inherent in the theory of evolution. One of his books, "Atlas of Creation," is turning up, unsolicited, in mailboxes of scientists around the country and members of Congress, and at science museums in places like Queens and Bemidji, Minn.
At 11 x 17 inches and 12 pounds, with a bright red cover and almost 800 glossy pages, most of them lavishly illustrated, "Atlas of Creation" is probably the largest and most beautiful creationist challenge yet to Darwin's theory, which Mr. Yahya calls a feeble and perverted ideology contradicted by the Koran.
In bowing to Scripture, Mr. Yahya resembles some fundamentalist creationists in the United States. But he is not among those who assert that Earth is only a few thousand years old. The principal argument of "Atlas of Creation," advanced in page after page of stunning photographs of fossil plants, insects and animals, is that creatures living today are just like creatures that lived in the fossil past. Ergo, Mr. Yahya writes, evolution must be impossible, illusory, a lie, a deception or "a theory in crisis."
The book caused a stir earlier this year when a French translation materialized at high schools, universities and museums in France. Until then, creationist literature was relatively rare in France, according to Armand de Ricqles, a professor of historical biology and evolutionism at the College de France.
Kenneth R. Miller, a biologist at Brown University, said he and his colleagues in the life sciences had all received copies. When he called friends at the University of Colorado and the University of Chicago, they had the books too, he said. Scientists at Brigham Young University, the University of Connecticut, the University of Georgia and others have also received them.
"I think he must have sent it to every full professor in the medical school," said Kathryn L. Calame, a microbiologist at the Columbia University medical school who received a copy. "The genetics department, the biochem department, micro — everybody I talked to had it."
In the book and on his Web site (www.harunyahya.com), Mr. Yahya says he was born in Ankara in 1956, and grew up and was educated in Turkey. He says he seeks to unmask what the book calls "the imposture of evolutionists" and the links between their scientific views and modern evils like fascism, communism and terrorism. He says he hopes to encourage readers "to open their minds and hearts and guide them to become more devoted servants of God."
He adds that he seeks "no material gain" from his publications, most of which are available free or at relatively low cost.
Support for creationism is also widespread among Muslims, said Dr. Edis, whose book "An Illusion of Harmony: Science and Religion in Islam" was published by Prometheus Books this spring.
"Taken at face value, the Koran is a creationist text," he said, adding that it would be difficult to find a scholar of Islam "who is going to be gung-ho about Darwin."
Perhaps as a result, he said, Mr. Yahya's books and other publications have won him attention in Islamic areas. "This is a guy with some influence," Dr. Edis said, "unfortunately for mainstream science."
Dr. Miller agreed. He said he regularly received e-mail messages from people questioning evolution, with an increasing number coming from Turkey, Lebanon and other areas in the Middle East, most citing Mr. Yahya's work.
"My hypothesis is, like all creationists, they believe that they have a startling truth that the public has been shielded from, and that if they present the facts, in quotation marks, that the scales will fall from the eyes and the charade of evolution will be revealed," said Eugenie Scott, director of the National Center for Science Education, which fights the teaching of creationism in public schools. "These people are really serious about this."
On its web site The New York Times carried the above report together with examples of the colored illustrations in the Atlas of Creation. Some 65,000 other web sites carry links to the New York Times site.
International Herald Tribune, July 18, 2007
The same report appeared in the International Herald Tribune, a global daily published in 180 countries and on 33 web sites internationally, on July 18, 2007.

The page's creator, Gavriel Beyo, 27, lives in Tel Aviv and has a background in marketing. With rocket attacks in Israel and combat casualties mounting from the IDF's Operation Protective Edge, he remembered historic pictures showing soldiers looking at pinup girls before battle.
So on Wednesday, he started the Facebook page, thinking of it as a way to celebrate Israel's freedom and those who fight for it.

I hope the cancer is not the reason he's not returning.Can't see them just letting him go.

Was a bit surprised that Berry was cut loose. Hope they find him a place in the organization.

Interesting in that only 4 of the 9 coaches made it to MLB.
Bell, Hatcher, Pico and Benavides.

"Baseball is a very, very complex business. It's more of a people business than most businesses." - Bob Castellini
Berry -- who had been the Reds' longest-tenured coach with 15 Major League seasons, including the last 10 as third-base coach -- chose not to return. Last season, he missed most of the first half battling throat cancer.
Jocketty maintained that Berry is still healthy and will remain affiliated with the organization he's worked with for 30 years.
"He'll hopefully still be able to do some things with us," Jocketty said. "We plan, depending on how he feels, to bring him to Spring Training and maybe involve him in things throughout the year. It's whatever he feels capable of doing. I think he felt that he didn't want to work as a full-time coach again for at least a year. He wanted some time off. We all respect him and think very highly of him, so we wanted to keep him in the organization."
Miguel Cairo, who joined the coaching staff while Berry was out, will return to his role as an assistant to Jocketty and the baseball operations department. Cairo will also work as a player development instructor.
"It was the role he was supposed to have last year," Jocketty said. "He wants to learn the business. He'll go into the role he was supposed to have last year before being called into duty when Mark got sick."

New Reds third base coach Steve Smith was a contestant on the CBS reality show "The Amazing Race" shot in 2009 and aired in 2010.
Smith, 61, teamed with his daughter Allie in the race around the world. The two finished sixth out of 11 teams, appearing in eight episodes. The pair won the leg of the race in the episode before their elimination.

He apparently has had some run ins with Francona as well, so that should help spice up things around the spring training complex.
Smith, 61, is a 38-year veteran of professional baseball. Before joining Price's staff, he had 14 years experience as infield and third base coach for the Seattle Mariners (1996-1999), Texas Rangers (2002-2006), Phillies (2007-08) and Cleveland Indians (2010-2012). Smith also spent time in player development for the Mariners as a manager and infield instructor (1991-1995), was a minor league manager for the San Diego Padres (1984-1989), and from 2001-2002 was the Milwaukee Brewers minor league roving infield instructor.

Jeff freaking Pico
The guy I always revert back to when we face a crappy, stuffless no name rookie who dominates us.
Jeff Pico played parts of 3 seasons for the Cubs. First ever appearance he faced the 1988 Reds and threw a 4 hit shutout, strikeout out 6 and walking zero.....I think 103 pitches.
And in today's news is Robinson Cano.....his Dad Jose was the next of the no name rookies to dominate the Reds.
Norm Chortleton (12-06-2013)
I'm sorry I don't have a link, but during a coaches corner with Price and the other coaches during Redsfest, Price was asked about the team's hitting (Don Long was not there at the time) and he said they were also going to hire an assistant hitting coach. Though he didn't name anyone yet.
Here's a piece from his hometown newspaper written when he wasn't retained by the Pirates.
Feel free to add in more about the new members of the coaching staff.

Thessaloniki, Greece • When Greece adopted the euro, it poured billions into modernizing its infrastructure, building spectacular bridges, highways, and a brand new rail transit network for Athens.
Now, locked in recession and crushed by debt, Greeks are targeting many of those projects, gouging out the metal and selling it for scrap to feed ravenous demand driven by China and India.
Police say they now arrest an average of four metal thieves every day, compared to a few cases every month before the crisis started in late 2009. They are accused of stealing industrial cable, power-line transformers and other metal objects triggering blackouts and massive train delays. The profile of the metal thief is also changing, authorities say, from gypsies and immigrants living on the margins of society to mainstream Greeks who have fallen on hard times.
As European countries dip in and out of recession, global demand for metals has remained high due to the industrial rise of emerging powers, making stolen cables and metal used in infrastructure a growth market worldwide.
Some 3,635 people have been arrested in Greece for metal theft between the start of 2010 and August 2012, according to the public order ministry.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Origin=======Entropy is one of the four Kherubim Lords that crash landed on Earth over a millenia ago. In the middle ages, he ruled over the mystical city of Shangri-La. During this time Entropy allied with another of the Kherubim Lords, his brother Emp. Together they battled against Brannoch the Dark, a man possessed by a daemonite; the Kherubim's most hated enemy. Upon confronting one another, Entropy slew Brannoch. The daemonite possessing Brannoch managed to jump into a new host during the battle, taking over Entropy's lover, Gwynith. Entropy could not find the resolve to kill his lover which forced Lord Emp to carry out the deed. In the aftermath, Entropy became enraged and vowed to claim revenge on his brother. WildC.A.T.s=======After Emp founded the WildC.A.T.s, Entropy would appear to take revenge for the slaying of his former lover. Entropy attacked a cruise ship that Emp was on in order to capture him. Due to Emp's memory loss at the hands of Helspont, Entropy used his Orb of Power to restore Emp's memories. Before Entropy could collect on his old vow of revenge, the WildC.A.T.s appeared and stopped him. It is believed that Entropy died in a very large explosion resulting from the conflict.Powers=======Like most Kherubims, Entropy is an immortal. His long life span has allowed him to train in various combat methods. As a Kherubim Lord, he also possesses certain powers similar to his brother Emp such as super strength and energy manipulation. During his conflict with the WildC.A.T.s, Entropy was in control of an Orb of Power which greatly enhanced his natural abilities as well as allowing him to defy the laws of nature and probability.

Why don't you use a CD live and see if usb card is fully functional...
Are you using Vbox or VMware..You should download normal ISO image if using Vbox, not BT5r2 VMware version.
Alright, I've now tried 4 separate installs of BT5R2 in flavors of KDE 32 and 64bit and Gnome 32 and 64bit. All four are having the same issue with the usb wireless card.
The OS detects the card in both iwconfig and ifconfig, the dmesg shows that the OS is loading what should be the proper driver of rt2800usb.
The issue comes down to the fact the card is unable to detect any wireless network. Airmon-ng will even start up mon0 and the card goes into monitor mode, just not receiving any wireless networks, even in wicd.
Any information you may need to assist me in solving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
As troubleshooting goes for trying to solve this, I've tried the compat wireless 3.3 series drivers and had no luck with those working either, still has the same issues.
I'm running this in 4.1.18 version of VBOX. I've heard this usb card is suppose to work out of the box and also seen that several people are having issues with it as well but in my search of the forums I've yet to find anyone with issues similar to my own.
Why don't you use a CD live and see if usb card is fully functional...
Are you using Vbox or VMware..You should download normal ISO image if using Vbox, not BT5r2 VMware version.
Alright, tried the USB live CD and the card is still not functional. I will say I know the card works 100% when attached to the same machine in the native Host OS Win 7 64bit Ultimate as that is what I am posting to you from now while using the connection on the Alfa card.
I did notice that the dmesg on the live cd added a new line(line 94):
Not sure if that may indicate a problem to the installed versions. I am using VBox and I used an ISO (not the VMWare) and used the built in installer to install BT5R2.Code:[ 88.939970]usbcore: registered new interface driver rt2800usb [ 94.876021] ADDRCONF (NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
Chipset is the 2870/3070 according to the lsusb output.

That might be your lost copy of Wall of Voodoo's Seven Days in Sammystown on the wall of the spankin' new elevator that leads to the even spankier new Trader Joe's on Sunset and Crescent Heights. The company has long made each of its stores reflect its neighborhood — TV production murals at the Studio City outlet, for example. But they went the extra mile down Dead Man's Curve to make this new Sunset Strip store reflect the rock & roll history of its street. Inside, colorful giant guitar picks with likenesses of Frank Zappa and Iggy Pop grace the walls. But the best part is the elevator — actually, there are two of 'em — covered with actual rock-album covers you can ogle and even stroke as you ride the three stories from the parking garage. Wait — that has to be my Blondie Eat to the Beat cover! 8000 W. Sunset Blvd., L. A. (323) 822-7663, traderjoes.com.—Libby Molyneaux
You could live here for 25 years and easily miss the most charming, are-we-really-in-L.A.? scenic drive imaginable. We almost did. Red Rock Canyon is a geographic marvel tucked just off the beaten path in Old Topanga Canyon. It's practically a secret, yet it's L.A.'s own miniature of Arizona or Utah, with its huge, iron-tinged boulders and red sandstone river walls carved by eons of rain and wind. It's a very easy, thoroughly relaxing drive from the belching, stinking city. If you go shortly after a rain, the crystal-clear and seasonal creek will be up and running, alongside a dirt road that ends at Red Rock Canyon Park. The tiny picnic area is one of the most delightful places in L.A. County. Bring your own food and beverages, plus blankets to spread on the litter-free ground, because there are no kiosks, concessions or taco trucks — thank Christ. A trailhead leading into spectacular sandstone formations is situated right near the picnic area, but it took us years just to explore Red Rock in our car, so we'll have to work up our energy for the four-hour hike in the upcoming decade. The very leafy drive into Red Rock Canyon takes you along quiet, insanely charming Old Topanga Canyon Road, an idyllic community of woodland homes and cabins set among California live oak, pine and native sage. Gulp in the air and get drunk on it. Red Rock Canyon Park, 23601 W. Red Rock Road, Old Topanga, lamountains.com.—Jill Stewart
I collect deities, and there is no better place for affordable small, colorful statues of Krishna, Radha, Ganesh, etc. than the gift shop inside the Hare Krishna Temple in Culver City. While the clothing here is beautiful and more then a bit pricey, there are all kinds of other, affordable finds. Good incense and Ayurvedic soaps share shelves with real kohl eyeliner priced at only $2. Even better, when you're done shopping you can feast on the downstairs all-you-can-eat vegetarian buffet for a mere 7 bucks. 3764 Watseka Ave., # 1, Culver City. (310) 836-1269.—Elizabeth Bernheim
The Whittier Narrows Nature Center and Wildlife Sanctuary has 419 acres of wilderness, featuring trails that weave through dense, dry brush alongside the San Gabriel River. With 300 species of birds, bird watching is a favorite pastime. Mountain lions and bobcats have also been seen roaming, and deep inside the sanctuary, the solitude of the desert can be a liberating experience. With all the paw prints pressed into the sand around you, you have the feeling of never quite being alone. Nearby, the Nature Center Museum has collections of archaeology, botany, history, birds, bugs and reptiles. It occasionally hosts free lectures and hayrides. Unfortunately, part of the area is marred by transmission towers and power lines, and signs advertising Mobil and Shell Oil are visible on the horizon. Even so, this is a quiet, relaxing place, completely free of charge. That much, at least, is the way natures supposed to be. 1000 N. Durfee Ave., El Monte. (626) 575-2253.—Todd Krainin
When out-of-towners visit, give them a quick, entirely free, tour of the Sunset Strip and surrounding areas in West Hollywood filled with dead celebrity haunts. Peer at the gorgeous, historic Chateau Marmont on Sunset Boulevard, where you can startle people with the grand announcement that John Belushi died there from a drug overdose in 1982. Everyone always wants to know what killed him. Correct answer: "a speedball," which is a toxic mix of cocaine and heroin. Things go downhill as you drive west on Sunset to the Viper Room, where, in 1993, young River Phoenix also died from a speedball overdose, on the dirty sidewalk outside the famed club once co-owned by Johnny Depp. Then head east and turn down Holloway Drive. Near leafy Alta Loma Road, at 8569 Holloway, you can announce that Sal Mineo, co-star of Rebel Without a Cause, was murdered outside his apartment there in 1976. A man stabbed the actor to death when Mineo was just 37. End the tour on Santa Monica Boulevard at Barney's Beanery, the friendly, old-time roadhouse where rockers Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin were reportedly regulars. Have a bowl of chili and relax while catching a baseball game on one of the Beanery's decent TVs. Chateau Marmont, 8221 W. Sunset Blvd. L.A.; Viper Room, 8852 W.

God only knows when it will reopen for business following the devastating Station Fire, but the little Astronomical Museum atop Mount Wilson is not only an unexpected educational stop-off in the San Gabriel Mountains, but a portal into the way the galaxy looked to astronomers in the 1930s and '40s. Built in 1936, its bare-bones displays mostly consist of photographs of the solar system taken at the time, and as such, it's kind of like thumbing through a very old astronomy textbook – the kind that would dramatically feature a colorized photo of Saturn on the cover. However, since the free-admission museum's 1997 renovation, updated captions accompany the exhibits, which also include bits of machinery used in the transportation and construction of the nearby observatory's 60- and 100-inch telescopes. There's also a small auditorium for lectures. If this all seems like a rather long way to go look at some obsolete astronomy exhibits or to hear a lecture, blame it on the original land-lease agreement, which required the new Mount Wilson Observatory grounds to be open to the public during daylight hours – apparently to satisfy the tourist-hungry requirements of the observatory's landlord, the Mount Wilson Hotel and Toll Road Company. The hotel and its restaurant are long gone, so pack a picnic lunch for the afternoon. There are plenty of tables near the parking lot. Take the Angeles Crest Highway north from La Cañada-Flintridge to Red Box Road, then turn off to reach the observatory. (626) 440-9016, mtwilson.edu. Open daily from the first weekend in April to the last weekend in November from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., weather permitting.—Steven Mikulan

LONG BEACH — Two juveniles and an adult were arrested and booked last week for graffiti-related vandalism, a police spokeswoman said.
Rayshawn Page, 18, of Long Beach, was charged in Long Beach Superior Court Wednesday on counts of vandalism and resisting arrest. The two 17-year-olds, also of Long Beach, are awaiting their first court appearance, said Nancy Pratt, a Long Beach Police Department spokeswoman.
The three were arrested by Long Beach police officers shortly after midnight Saturday near Artesia Boulevard and Cherry Avenue. A witness called police after seeing the three suspects allegedly spray painting a wall.
During the officers' follow-up investigation, they located about 30 additional locations with fresh graffiti. Police think the three suspects also are responsible for these acts, Pratt said.
Police recovered various items used in graffiti from the suspects, she said.

Michael Jackson Immortal did something no other Cirque du Soleil show has ever done: Bored me.
Cirque truly is a magic-maker, having almost single-handed reinvented the concept of the circus, turning it into something unmissable rather than might-as-well. The trick of Cirque shows is that they combine the simple elegance of feats of athleticism with beauty and muscularity, while employing cutting edge technology in startling ways. Its best shows — Ka and Love, two of the permanent shows in Las Vegas — seamlessly wed plot, engineering and the human form.
Immortal does none of that. Yes, there are some pyrotechnics (the best of these, an indoor fireworks display, comes too little, too late) but the entire production feels conceived as an after-thought, some second-tier acts tacked on to boring choreography and muddled production values.


text: On Dec.23 I shared the following the Dru in #PCBSD. It was written by my co-worker on Oct.10. She requested that he post it here. Since I follow this list, and he doesn't I am going to post it here for him. Thanks. Lars FreeBSD needs work last modified on 2010-10-10 at 19:33 - keywords: freebsd zfs iscsi whining Warning: This is not a post whining about Adobe Flash or how hard it is to get my playstation controller to work in Quake. This is, instead, a post whining about how hard it is to use ZFS and iSCSI on FreeBSD. Recently I was tasked with building some storage-related projects. The tools of choice involved FreeBSD sitting on some hardware with a large collection of high-volume drives. These drives were presented JBOD-style to the host OS, and a couple of them were SSDs. The idea was to make one massive raidz2 zpool with a mirrored ZIL on the SSDs. Then we could spin off zvols and pitch them via iSCSI to our application and database servers. Sound simple? It isn't. To get it working, we had to switch to OpenSolaris. Which is a bit of a damn problem. There were two really bad problems in FreeBSD that prevented us from deploying our OS of choice to these systems. Problem the first: ZFS on FreeBSD (at zpool version 13 as of this project) is only like 80% there. What I mean by that is ZFS is friggin fantastic for your massive desktop nerdmachine, or your creepy 8TB basement "media archive", or any other low-traffic consumer-grade project you might want to undertake. But when you start putting some load on it... The biggest problem I had seemed to be caused by multiple read operations during snapshot creation. If you took a snapshot while lots of iSCSI (or NFS) (or local) access is going on, the zfs process gets stuck with a wait state. What it boils down to is that you have to be super careful to disable access while you're creating (or, in bad cases, sending) snapshots off -- which completely wrecks the point of the damn snapshot functionality. Oh, and it would crash BSD too. Sometimes it would just eat all the RAM and the machine would fall down. Problem the second: iSCSI support in FreeBSD is abominable. I'm given to understand this is because the main iSCSI dev in FreeBSD-land is possessed of insufficient hardware to model high-performance workloads. If that's the case, we need to get that man some damn hardware. Or convince Covad to update their AoE stuff, since AoE is nicer anyway. If the iSCSI traffic crossed subnets, performance would tank. If the iSCSI targets were accessed from a non-FreeBSD initiator, performance would tank. If a FreeBSD initiator accesses a non-FreeBSD target, performance tanks. Are you seeing a pattern here? Best-practices objections aside, it's clear that the dev has a handful of machines on a dumb switch, and that's the test platform. As soon as you instantiate some sophistication, the whole thing falls down. Again. How do we fix this? I suppose I could devote some time to mastering the implementation details of iSCSI and ZFS, then fix the stuff myself. That's not really the best use of my time, however, and I'm not in a position to get paid to do that sort of thing. But there are a few things anyone (myself included) can do: test. * report bugs. * provide stack traces and failure scenarios. * whine constantly. * provide testing hardware. All of these are helpful, especially the constant whining. The problem needs to be front-and-center, or it'll get de-prioritized in favor of other (and in my opinion) less important problems. I don't give a crap that your video card doesn't push hard enough to run EVE in FreeBSD. I want the ZFS functionality that now only FreeBSD actively provides, and I want the iSCSI functionality ZFS was designed to enable. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Bevin looks like such a fun/funny little girl!!! It is a good thing the doctor is so close!! Have a great weekend :-)ReplyDelete
I have never heard of these urine bags! Wish I had known of these when my kids were little! Or littler :p At any rate, so glad to here that her sed rate has gone down and urinalysis is normal.ReplyDelete
I'm with Amy- I wish that I'd known about those bags. That's awesome! I'm happy that her SED rate is down, too! Ask your doc for Emla cream (lidocaine) for lab work. It does a great job of numbing the area so that it doesn't hurt your lil' girl. We use it for injections, IV's, labs, etc. It's still traumatic having labs done, but not nearly as much as it is without using it!ReplyDelete
She is such a cutie! Good news about the sed rate and UA! We also use the EMLA cream when Ayla has labs drawn, it helps, I know she doesn't feel it BUT we still have to hold her down :( Hope you have a great week!!ReplyDelete
What a beautiful little girl! I have been trying to collect a urine sample from my 20 month old daughter without any success. The bag is so uncomfortable in her diaper and she is always trying to get it out. In desperation I googled "pediatric urine bag" and found this adorable photo of your Cutie. That is a great tip about poking a hole in the diaper. Thank you for sharing hopefully I will be able to collect it now.ReplyDelete

The Basics
Perhaps the most famous export of the Florida Keys outside of Ernest Hemingway and his six-toed cats, Key Lime Pie is a tangy, creamy delight made with sweetened condensed milk and the small, delicate limes of the region.
Similar Desserts
Lemon Meringue Pie, Florida Pie
Key Ingredient Spotlight: Key Limes
While a bright green version of the pie might be par for the course with drylanders, all residents of the Keys know that a real key lime pie is one color: pale yellow. While it can be difficult to find a true key lime today—the majority of the crop was wiped out during a 1926 hurricane—be warned that key limes are strikingly different from their Persian lime counterparts. For starters, Key limes are smaller and softer than Persian limes, with a thin, yellow rind that leaves them tarter and more aromatic. They also have a great deal of thorns, making harvesting them more difficult.
In 1965, legislation was introduced in an attempt to charge businesses advertising Key lime pie not made with Key limes a $100 fine. The bill, for better or worse, didn't pass.
While there are any number of variations on the key lime pie and, perhaps, a version to please practically any palate (Meringue topping or whipped cream? Cooked filling or chilled filling?), the real debate breaks out over the crust. Today, a pastry crust is widely used by cooks throughout the Keys, but the original recipe recorded by "Aunt Sally"—the anonymous cook credited with creating the recipe in the mid-1800s—is a crumbly graham cracker crust.
Key Region: Florida Keys
"Aunt Sally" was the cook of Florida's first millionaire, William Curry, and was said to have created and served this recipe at the Curry Mansion, which was constructed in 1855. Curry imported crates upon creates of sweetened condensed milk to the islands to serve as both a luxury item and to stave off malnutrition. It was gobbled up by top-tier buyers for their cooks.
While key limes might be the pie's namesake, it's really sweetened condensed milk that is the unsung hero of the dish. Contrary to popular belief, condensed milk was always used to create the pie, never heavy cream, gelatin, or other methods. Sweetened condensed milk was used profusely in the Keys, since fresh milk, eggs, and other perishables were difficult to keep for long stretches of time due to a lack of refrigeration and the region's isolated status until the construction of the Overseas Highway in 1930.
While Curry's cook may get all the credit, the recipe is rumored to have been a favorite among the islands' sponge fishermen, who were accustom to cooking dishes with non-perishable ingredients during their long stints at sea.
Pop Culture
It was widely rumored that Google would select Key Lime Pie as the name for their latest Android operating device. Sadly for all pie enthusiasts, it was revealed in early September that they would go the candy bar route instead, calling the operating system Kit Kat.

ALTSGPT; Serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase; Alanine transaminase; Alanine aminotransferase
Alanine transaminase (ALT) is an enzyme found in the highest amounts in the liver. Injury to the liver results in release of the substance into the blood.
This article discusses the test to measure the amount of ALT in the blood.
How the Test is Performed
A blood sample is needed. This may be taken from a vein. The procedure is called avenipuncture.
How the Test Will Feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Why the Test is Performed
This test is used to determine if a patient has liver damage.
Normal Results
The normal range is 10 to 40international units per liter (IU/L).
The normal range depends on many things, includingyour age and gender. Normal value ranges may also vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The example aboveis the common results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different samples.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Increased levels of ALT often means that liver disease is present. Liver disease is even more likely when levels of other liver blood tests are also increased.
An increase in ALT levels may be due to:
- Cirrhosis (scarring of the liver)
- Death of liver tissue (liver necrosis)
- Hepatitis
- Hemochromatosis
- Lack of blood flow to the liver (liver ischemia)
- Liver tumor or cancer
- Medications that are toxic to the liver
- Mononucleosis ("mono")
- Pancreatitis (swollen and inflamed pancreas)
There is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
- Bleeding from where the needle was inserted
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Hematoma (blood collecting under the skin)
- Infection (rare)

How Do I Love Thee?

By Lesli Nolen
November 2009
I can't believe Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away. Then Christmas and before you know it, 2010 will be here. I don't know where the time goes, but it goes by way too fast. And it is usually during this time of year that most people are busier than ever. Holiday shopping, traveling, cooking, cleaning, work—the list goes on and on. But it is ever so important that this year be a year of giving thanks and counting our blessings.
It is sometimes hard to see everything we have to be thankful for when our world shows us only the dark side. The news, the radio, they remind us daily of how horrible our world has become. The economy: Are we or aren't we in a recession? War: Should we or should we not send more troops? H1N1 Swine Flu: Do we or don't we get the vaccine? Health care, crime, murder, greed—its all out there and that seems to be all we talk about.
And last November, (wow time does fly) when the majority voted for change, change is what we got. Whether it was for the better or for the worse, our lives changed. But, we can allways find something to be thankful for.
I have so many things to be thankful for. I am blessed beyond measure. I have a wonderful family who loves me very much. I also am blessed by my church family. It hasn't always been easy at Harris Avenue Baptist Church, but God is working through us and is doing wonderful things. We are very blessed at HABC to have Mr. Randy Bush as our pastor and his wife Sharon with us. They are such a blessing. God is working every day in the lives of our church members. We are growing and spreading the word of God, we have recently started a choir and we are planning a revival. Wow—God is great!
I am also blessed to have such a great job. A job that allows me to also pursue my higher education, a job that allows me to pick up my daughter every day from school and a job that allows me to express my thoughts and opinions to you. Over the past three years here at Ranch I have been truly blessed. Through the years you've become my friends, not just my clients. And I am most grateful to my co-workers. It takes a lot to work with me and I'm so blessed to have them in my life.
Be thankful for all the little things in life we take for granted every day. I have my fingers to type this article. I have my eyes to see what I'm doing. I have my legs to get up and do things. I have my ears to hear. I have a roof over my head. I have food in my fridge. I have clean water to drink. I have a hospital to go to if needed. I have a phone to call someone. I have clothes to wear. I have shoes on my feet. I have an education. I have men and women in the military fighting to keep me free. I could go on and on, but I think you get the picture. When we look closely we can find lots to be thankful for.
Society has piled so much on our plate today, as a nation, as a community and as individuals and it will only get more hectic as the holidays near. So I hope you will start today and find something to be thankful for. Don't wait for a specific time to give thanks; give thanks today. The saying goes, "Today is the first day of the rest of your life." Every day is a new day and every day we have is a day to be thankful for.
I encourage you today to start counting your blessings. Don't wait until you sit down at Thanksgiving dinner to be thankful. And don't stop counting your blessings after the holidays are over. Give thanks to our Creator and watch your life be blessed for the better. Our community will be blessed, our nation will blessed.
There is no greater time than now to have God intervene in our life. Most of our subscribers are of Christian faith—so I urge you to be the light of the world around you. Be thankful this holiday season. Let God's eyes be your eyes, let God's ears be your ears, and let God's words be your words. Count your blessings every day and watch them grow. "Little is Much When God is in it."

This product was packaged using equipment that also handles wheat, soy, peanuts & tree nuts.
Almonds are 54% fat. Most of the fat is monounsaturated, with some polyunsaturated; Their saturated fat content is one of the lowest among nuts. They are 19% protein. One cup of Almonds contains about 850 Calories; 1oz., or about 22 nuts, contains 170 Calories.
Almonds are rich in B vitamins & vitamin E. Minerals are in good supply, particularly iron, magnesium, and phosphorus. Of special interest is the relatively high calcium content in almonds.
Though they can't be considered a high calcium food when compared with most dairy products.They can be a good addition to the diet of those who must avoid dairy foods. Ten almonds contain more calcium than 2 tablespoons of cream cheese.Add to stir-fried vegetables or noodle dishes (roast and chop first).Grind and add to breakfast to boost protein and calcium intake. 1-2 tablespoons per serving. Garnish steamed green vegetables such as green beans, swiss chard, asparagus or broccoli. Garnish each serving of soups made from these ingredients with a sprinkling of chopped almonds.Make into homemade nut butter by running through a blender or nut grinder.Make into nut meal to be incorporated into cookies or other baked goods.Gluten-Free Almond Cookies1/2 c.

Drop by teaspoonfuls and press Almonds into center of each cookie. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes.
Makes 2 dozen.**Steam Pasteurized: Water steaming - they will be using hot water and quick-dry method. This will kill all bacteria (if any). Water used will be pure with absolutely no additives or preservatives. The result will not affect the quality or flavor of the almond. The almond will have a cleaner look, as opposed to what customers have seen in the past.
Per our supplier, a natural spray is used on the almond blossoms in Feb to protect the blossom. No other sprays or chemicals are used during the rest of the growing season for the almonds.

You see it every day in sports, the superstar who thinks they're above the rest. They are the teflon kings as they're called by some.
In the NFL you usually see the entitled superstar attitude with rookies who have no idea how much work it takes to make it in the league. Afterall, many of them have relied on superior skills to the competition; they come from winning college programs stocked with talent that made their success seem more than it was. Many of them think that they're so good that they don't have to work as hard as everyone else because they're "special." Those are the players who become "busts," yhe Ryan Leafs of the world if you will.
Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson is rapidly falling into that category. The category of a talented player who thinks that their success was self-generated and they didn't need a solid supporting cast to attain it. It's a trap that swallows careers and spits out former NFLers with the term "Bust" or "Loser" attached to them for the rest of their days.
|Johnson rushed for 2,006 yards in 2009.
Yet, instead of accepting responsibility for the decline, or redoubling his efforts to break out of that funk, Johnson has decided the drop-off in production isn't his fault. He's telling anyone who will listen that his decline from fantasy superstar to 'Average Joe' is because the guys who are supposed to make his life easy aren't doing a good job.
"Even when I went for 2,000, I didn't think I was perfect, but I wouldn't sit here and say I'm to blame," Johnson said according to TitansInsider Terry McCormick. "I'm only gonna be as good as my line is going to be. We've got to work together and get better."
The Patriots held Johnson to just four yards on 11 attempts (0.4 avg.) in the Titans' season opener. Many labeled that outing as an anomaly, a Haley's Comet if you will. When Johnson managed 17 yards on eight attempts (2.1 avg) vs San Diego in week two, Johnson's blame game accelerated.
"The run game ain't working," Johnson said Sunday following the Titans loss to the Chargers. "We just aren't executing the plays. I don't know why we're not."
Given the chance to become a leader by example, Johnson instead continued to try to deflect criticism onto others.
"People need to step up and do their job. They don't need to let people beat them. It don't matter who the opposing defense is, you can't let your guy beat you," Johnson said after the game. "You just can't give up plays. You have to make plays like they make plays. I can't speak for the defense. I can only speak for the offense."
Can Johnson actually speak for anyone?
As a potential leader of the Titans when times are tough, it's obvious Johnson has no concept of being a team leader. The same guys who opened holes a Mack truck could drive through two seasons ago, are unable to open the same size holes this season. Johnson obviously can't make something out of nothing, but he doesn't need to blame his offensive line.
Johnson's decline could very well be due to changes in the offensive line. Does that mean Johnson is less of a super star, or does it really mean he's dealing with the same pressures as everyone else (having to make something out of nothing every once in a while)?
We can all look like superstars when things are going well. It's the true superstars who overcome adversity when times are tough, without blaming others. Such is the case in New England a place that has no room for superstars with super egos.
One look at Tom Brady tells you all you need to know about how to be a leader. Perpetually surrounded by units with less than stellar talent, Brady never throws a teammate 'under the bus.' When the team succeeds, Brady credits the guys up front, the guys making the catches, the guys running the ball, even the guys on the defense stopping the other team. When the team falters, Brady blames himself for not doing a better job.
If there is anyone in the league deserving of the opportunity to blame his supporting cast, it's Brady. But, as with all true leaders, Brady declines to fall into the blame game.
Johnson has a lot to learn about being a superstar, and this may be the season that he gets his chance. He has a great example to follow. Just take one look at Tom Brady and how he handles adversity, from setting NFL records and winning Super Bowls to losing them or falling short of expectations. Brady has been there and done that. He is just one example Johnson could learn from.
The real question is, does Johnson want to?
By the sound of things in Tennessee, it's not looking like he does.

I do my research, I spend hours on the computer every day, I am currently looking at approx 40 open tabs, for various things, I have read the metaploit blog, which is why I updated my post saying I had tried svn switch, which is someting suggested further down the metasploit blog.
Using fast-track to update metasploit is not going to work when they have rerouted the DNS to localhost
Ok, maybe my post was too harsh, but I honestly think that some of you have forgotten what it is like to try and learn something from scratch, you really think I want to post a question on here, the way people get treated? Its a last resort, and the reason it gets so infuriatingly off putting is that you then get some response telling you to go elsewhere, or 'use the search' or you need to prove youve tried to find the answer yourself.
Ive even posted on here explaining that I am new, saying that I have done the WEP and WPA cracking, have run some exploits, am happy with the use of fast-track and metasploit, and then asked for suggestions on where to go from there regarding learning.....surprise, surprise I got flamed and ignored.
so, archangel, this 3 minutes of research, which you claim finds the answer on the metasploit blog, how do you redirect the inbuilt updater to the alternate address that metasploit are using, because the only thing in the blog is the svn switch, which I have already posted my result for.
Citruspers, why post on something you obviously dont know the answer for? Metasploit have rerouted the default update address to localhost, so using a different tool to run the same default update isnt going to do much, but well done for increasing your post count by 1 !!!!!
Barry, if everyone had to go to the forums where the experts for a particular tool were, then surely most of the posts on this forum are in the wrong place, how many posts are really about the actual USE of BT3 (not linux, because that is not covered here either) rather than about the use of the tools included with BT3?
Pureh@te, my original post contained the temp URL that metasploit are using, but thanks for putting me into such a good mood ;-)
ok, so rant over.... I guess that no one gives a flying **** anyway..... suppose I should join the crowd and groom the many 'real' BT3 posts asking indirectly about how to steal my neighbours broadband !!
