bad instruction book
By not too swift
from Falls Church VA
It took me a while to figure out how to "finalize" the recorded DVD so it could be replayed in another unit other than the original unit. The manual says that if the recording is not "finalized" it would nor play back in other than the original unit, but it did not explain that after recording, one has to go to "setup" and select "finalize".
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your feedback. Every recorded disc must be finalized. If not, they will not play in other DVD players. Steps to finalize are: 1.) Press Setup. 2.) Use the ˆ/ˇ to select "DVD menu" Press Enter. 3.) Use the ˆ/ˇ to select "Finalize". Press Enter. 4.) Use the ˆ/ˇ to select "Yes". Press Enter 5.) Finalization will start. This can take a few minutes to an hour, depending on the disc and movie.

Not a bad machine
By JJ
from New York, NY
The recording instructions in the manual are completely indecipherable. Only through an hour of trial and error were we able to figure out how to record a DVD from the VHS. The easiest way to do it is (1) insert the DVD and it will format itself (2) insert the VHS and hit play (3) press the "dubbing" button on the remote and don't do anything else.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your feedback. Please refer to the link in the Instructions tab, for how to use this device.

Complicated to Operate
By JustJac
from Chicago
This unit is only for "home" movies. Will not convert store purchased VHS movies. Very very complicated to operate. I'm returning it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

You should never expect to be any less than delighted with a purchase from Hammacher Schlemmer, because we stand behind our products with an unconditional lifetime guarantee of satisfaction.

Great product for converting VHS to DVD
By Lizann
from Philadelphia
I used this to convert my VHS home movies to DVD. Was simple to use once I looked in the direction booklet under "dubbing" (not recording). Also does a good job of playing VHS taped and DVD's. Have not tried to record a program to a DVD but the directions seem simple. Make sure you finalize the disc after you record or you cannot view it on other machines.

Great Purchase
By Jeri the Quilter
from Rhinelander, WI
We have had the VHS To DVD Converter for about a week and have converted more than 20 VHS family videos to DVD. Although we have not tried all of the features of the unit, everything we have used has been easy to use and has worked better than we had anticipated. The instructions are very good, providing step-by-step direction for each application. This unit is well worth the money.

Good Product, Bad Documentation
By RT
from Pocatello, ID
The User Manual is very hard to understand if you are not an electrical engineer or something similar. I can dub a VCR to a DVD but have not yet been able to figure out how to copy my VHS C tapes on to one DVD. The user guide is not helpful!THE USER GUIDE IS NOT HELPFUL!!!!

Easy to use!
By mail lady
from northwest arkansas
I bought an HDMI cord, plugged it into the back of my tv and the back of the VHS player, and that's all it took! The instructions to record from VHS to DVD are very simple to understand and follow. I read the directions completely before I tried to copy for the first time and I had no problems. I would recommend this player if you have lots of VHS tapes to copy to DVD. It works great!

Great product to own
By john
from Fremont California
Great for use to convert VHS to DVD most especially if you have "unforgetable memories" caught on VHS (like what I have) and also this product would serve as a VHS player/recorder (if you still have the kind of vhs camcorder, whcich I still have & am still using) and as an extra DVD player/recorder.

To: ethicsrules comments
Subject: Comments on Proposed Annual Fee, Continuing Education
Comments on the Proposed Rule Changes Concerning Annual Practitioner Fees and Recertification or Continuing Education
I am an Assistant Intellectual Property Counsel at the California Institute of Technology. The following comments represent my own personal views and not those of the academic institution that employs me.
Requiring Annual Fees for Practitioners Is Unnecessary and Burdensome
The fees to apply for registration, take the registration exam, and to be registered are already substantial. Most patent practitioners already pay hefty state bar dues annually. Fees to be admitted to various Federal bars are a one-time affair. The PTO can fulfill its clearly circumscribed disciplinary responsibilities without further burdening the practitioners appearing before it. The present system works fine just as it is. The unfair taxing of patent practitioners seems to me to be an odious parallel to the burdensome PTO fees imposed on inventors as a class. Now patent attorneys are to be financially singled out and required to do what no other federal practitioner is required to do.
There Is No Statutory Authorization
I do not believe that anything in 35 U.S.C. §2(b)(2)(D) authorizes the PTO to recertify registered practitioners or require them to take continuing training. The statutory phrase "may prescribe regulations governing the recognition and conduct of agents, attorneys, or other persons representing applicants or other parties before the Office," read together with the elaboration of what may be required of them "before [their] being recognized" (good moral character and reputation, the possession of necessary qualifications) has to be stretched beyond its plain meaning to encompass recertification or compulsory continuing training or any other type of continuous monitoring of practitioners' qualifications. "Recognition" is clearly a one-time event. Similarly, reading "regulations governing ... conduct" as including the ongoing testing of or mandatory continuing training of practitioners is a very strained interpretation. If Congress had intended to authorize the imposition of annual fees on, or the ongoing supervision of, practitioners it could have easily added language to that effect to the statute. I would be interested in seeing a published legal opinion by the Solicitor of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office as to the exact presumed basis for the proposed rule changes, including a detailed analysis of the legislative history of 35 U.S.C. §2(b)(2)(D).
The PTO's Giving or Approving Education Courses Is a Conflict of Interest
The PTO has a conflict of interest in getting into the
business of providing or certifying the content of continuing
education courses. The giving of courses in patent practice
would be analogous to the Internal Revenue Service giving
courses on how to defend tax returns. In fact, practitioners
are in an adversarial relationship with the PTO and their
training and education should be free of Office control.
Furthermore, Government agencies are not supposed to compete
with the private sector, which in this case would include
private entities that desired to give courses satisfying the
proposed requirements. Also, I believe that the required
certification of courses by the PTO would be an unwarranted
and unnecessary intrusion into the private affairs of
businesses devoted to the education and training of patent
Continuing Education Requirements are Bureaucratic and Ineffective
I am opposed to continuing education requirements for attorneys in general. The requirement gives rise to more unnecessary bureaucracy and ever more hoops for practitioners to jump through after years of formal college education and bar-passing courses and bar fees, all to little purpose except the enrichment of continuing education providers.
If a practitioner is charged with malpractice, there is a civil remedy available. If a practitioner is charged with a crime, there are adequate means of punishment available. If a practitioner is charged with unethical conduct, there are avenues of redress through bar associations or the PTO. All these mechanisms are already in place and are working.
I do not believe that mandatory continuing education is going to make a conscientious practitioner more competent, more ethical, or less likely to commit a crime than he or she already is. As for the incompetent, unethical, or criminally inclined, they are most likely beyond the reach of any type of enforced education. As usual, the majority is forced to suffer in a vain attempt to reform the minority.
Respectfully submitted,
Peggy Luh

text: This is definitely not the right forum because (a) it has nothing to do with backtrack and (b) its not even close to an expert topic... but I'm in a helpful mood, and bored, so I'll offer my thoughts. First off prevent future attacks by changing all your passwords, and make sure your system is secure. Info on your operating system(Ubuntu? version?), connection type(wireless?), and services running(file sharing, remote desktop?) would help me suggest security measures to implement. I can't think of any connection between a ddos(which it seems you're suggesting, but connections from all over the world are more likely do to file sharing in my opinion) and a system compromise. The fact that spam was sent from your account(I'm assuming) to all your contacts sounds like come sort of malware to me since an individual attacking your system would have little to gain by spamming your buddies. Send me a private message containing your IP address if you would like me to do a quick scan to see if you have any obvious vulnerabilities. Or better yet, download Backtrack and attempt the scan yourself if you have confidence in your linux skills.

As Banksy Tours NYC, Locals Are Charging For Looks At His Artwork
The legendarily sly street artist Banksy has taken his talents to New York City, and the locals are seeing an opportunity to make a profit.
Banksy, a graffiti artist originally hailing from Great Britain, uses city walls as his canvas, creating works of art that intrigue, inspire and occasionally infuriate. He's in the midst of a month-long "residency" in New York, with new art popping up every day.
In one location, some of the neighborhood residents decided to cash in on their brief notoriety. Banksy had stenciled a beaver standing next to a signpost that resembled a downed tree. Local profit-minded entrepreneurs – the New York Post simply calls them "jerks"– hid the stencil behind cardboard, charging passersby $20 for a glance and a cell-phone snap.
Banksy has built a reputation over the course of two decades as a political activist, with his provocative artwork appearing all over the planet, sometimes permanently, sometimes only long enough for someone to paint over it. It's hard to think of a way to twist Banksy's art more obscenely than hiding it behind cardboard and charging for it; even the wannabes who tag onto his art or carve it out of the wall entirely are motivated by something more than simple greed. But hey, this is New York, and they have their own way of doing business. Cash only.

Was $39.95 NOW $19.95
This is the only pet stain cleaner that removes undetectable pheromones to break the cycle of a dog or cat's repeated soiling. Unlike lesser cleaners that merely remove surface stains, this unique formulation binds to the pheromone molecules—the chemical attractants released when a dog or cat marks its territory. Simply saturate the soiled area, scrub, and blot dry; in just three minutes, the stain and pheromones are eliminated, thereby discouraging pets from returning to a soiled area. The solution can be applied safely to carpeting, upholstery, fabric, hardwood floors, tile, concrete, or most any non-porous surface and will not cause discoloration. Safe for pets, children, and those with sensitivity to chemicals, the solution is non-toxic, non-flammable, enzyme-free, biodegradable, and fragrance-free. It is also effective at removing other stubborn stains, such as blood and grass. Made in the U.S. 32 oz. bottle. (2 1/4 lbs.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Only Pet Stain Pheromone Removing Solution (32 oz) comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.
Should you have any questions, we are available seven days a week (8:00 am – midnight EST). Please call 1-800-321-1484 to speak with a specialist or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com to receive a response within three business hours or less.

Does not remove canine urine odor
By LarryR
from South Amana, IA
This product did not remove canine urine odor. On the second try, we followed instructions for difficult odors, but, unfortunately, the result was the same.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: While this product has received positive feedback from other customers, it clearly did not measure up to your expectations, and for this we sincerely apologize.The most effective way to use this product is to heat it in the microwave for a few seconds, and then apply to the very soiled area. This gives the best results. This is recommended for the harshest stains. Please remember that we back our merchandise with a lifetime guarantee.

The Only Pet Stain Pheromone Removing So
By WAAM
from Moncton, NB Canada
this is the most amazing product. We had a cat with a bladder problem and she soiled hardwood floors and carpet. This product was applied according to instructions and all odour was removed and she is now 100% using thr litter box. It (the product) COMPLETELY removes any trace os odour. I keep it on hand at all times. Another great use for this is spraying on anything that is musty and the smell is gone. Definitely recommend.

Not really is what I expected.
By ART MAN
from Cape Coral, Florida
The first container arrived spilled all over the bag. The label was unreadable. Thankfully customer service sent me a new one after I sent the destroyed one back. The product seems to work at times and now and then my one cat still pees in the same location I treated with this product.This product has a foul odor that smells bad in my house. It does work but not 100% of the time.

Regardless of the primary diagnosis, neurological outcome is the main determinant of quality of life in critically ill children. The Pediatric Neurocritical Care Program (PNCP) at St. Louis Children's Hospital provides diagnosis and treatment to critically ill children with neurological disorders. Trauma, including traumatic brain injury, is the leading cause death and disability in children in the United States.
Specialized Care
Critically ill children with neurological disorders have unique needs. In the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), patients are continually monitored by a dedicated neurocritical care team and receive individualized treatments designed to improve chances of recovery and protect uninjured nervous tissue. The primary goal of the PNCP is to provide excellence in clinical care by integrating the best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values. The PNCP builds on the well established reputation of our top ranked Pediatric Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Critical Care Medicine programs.
A Multidisciplinary Team
Children suffering from critical illness, neuromuscular disorders, traumatic brain injury, and recovering from complex surgical procedures such as brain tumor resections require a high level of expertise that is best provided by a multidisciplinary team and specialized equipment.
Our team is composed of physicians, nurses and support staff with extensive experience and expertise in critical care, neurology and neurosurgery. Our team assures that every child admitted to the Intensive Care Unit has access to the best level of neurocritical care. The multidisciplinary nature of our team assures coordination with rehabilitation services and resources.
Interdisciplinary Translational Research
Improving outcome following neurological injury will profoundly impact quality of life for both children and their families.
The PNCP research efforts will result in improved care and novel therapies for critically ill children suffering neurological disorders. Research areas of focus include studies of the pathobiology of traumatic brain injury, stroke, seizures, and brain ischemia (i.e. cardiac arrest and drowning).
Our clinical research projects include assessments of injury mechanisms, response to current treatment strategies, as well as the evaluation of novel diagnostic technologies and therapies. Our research goals include the establishment of national and international collaborations in neurocritical care research. We are currently participating in a clinical trial of hypothermia for brain protection after traumatic brain injury. The program's mission adds to the already well-established reputation for excellence in neuroscience research at St. Louis Children's Hospital and Washington University.

COLUMBIA, Ky. -- The 2012-13 school year will
be one of the biggest in the 109-year history of Lindsey Wilson
The college will go through its decennial reaccreditation process
with Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools, and three LWC academic
divisions will also be reviewed by their profession's accrediting
"This is a huge year for this college," LWC President William T. Luckey Jr. told the college's
faculty Wednesday morning at an opening-year meeting in the Roberta
D. Cranmer Dining & Conference Center. "Any time a college is
going through that many different accreditation cycles, it is
a very important year and one that will put more demands on all of
Before accreditation groups review the college in 2012-13, the LWC
community will first welcome a record number of students this
weekend. The academic year officially begins Aug. 22; college
officials expect enrollment to break the 2,700-student mark for the
first time. Close to 1,100 students will live on the LWC A.P. White
Beginning in early August, about 300 residential LWC students have
trickled back into Columbia-Adair County. But on Saturday morning,
most of the remaining 800 residential students will flood the
community for the start of LWC's opening week activities.
LWC Director of Student Activities Jayne Hopkins said the weeklong activities
that begin Saturday morning are especially designed to help new
students ease into college life and also reassure students' family
"We have designed a smooth process for students to transition into
Lindsey Wilson and make the college their home," said Hopkins, who
oversees the college's opening week events. "We want students to
feel part of the Lindsey Wilson family right away, and we also want
their family members to see that this is a place that cares about
In addition to welcoming new students, opening week is also a time
to rekindle relationships between LWC faculty, staff and
"It's been a great summer here at LWC, but I am looking forward to
seeing our students return because they are the lifeblood of the
college, and they create a vibrant and exciting atmosphere," said
LWC Assistant Dean of Students Andy McAllister, who has experienced every LWC
opening week since 1999, both as a student and staff member. "I am
looking forward to catching up on the summer adventures of our
returning students, and getting to meet and greet the new students
that have chosen to attend LWC."
New students are entering LWC during an exciting time, Luckey
"If they held an Olympic event for colleges, we would have won a
gold medal for how this college has performed during the last
decade," he told the college's faculty on Wednesday morning.
In the last decade, LWC's enrollment has grown from 1,248 to more
than 2,700, and the number of faculty has expanded from 58 to its
current record level of 114. A total of 80 LWC faculty hold a
terminal degree.
"Today we see a much different Lindsey Wilson College than we did
10 years ago," said Luckey, who has been the college's eighth
president since 1998-99. "I don't know of another college in the
entire United States that had a better decade than Lindsey Wilson
College had over the last 10 years -- especially when you pause and
think about what's happened across this country … and what's been
happening at other institutions."
LWC's success over the last decade is cause for celebration, Luckey
"I think we should be celebrating and singing the doxology," he
said. "We have a far stronger college today than we did 10 years
ago; a far stronger faculty and staff than 10 years ago; a much
improved physical facility; a stronger student body; and a stronger
academic reputation."

This thread reminds me of this crazy fool who was at the Griphouse for a few months.
He would always go ape shit on the dummy in the Boxing room. In his mind he was boxing, but to me he looked like he was swimming. His so called Thai kicks were football penalty kicks, and when he managed to knock the dummy over, he would jump stomp on its face and do elbow drops on it etc.
And while doing all this he would be going ahhhhhhhh ahhhhhhh ahhhhhh. Everyone looked at him and said he is nuts. But in his mind he thinks, we think he is awesome.
Around the time he disappeared I heard that SR had stolen his Burd, Pumped her, got her up the duff and then fucked off.
Surely I am not the only one to remember this?

"I'm a cage fighter" has to be THE most arse-hole phrase in existence. It's actually quite comical when you then find out that they actually are complete novices or only compete in no-head shots rules, which hardly makes them 'cage fighters'.

Feel sorry for you Dave. Bit shit that the weeks in the gym won't even pay for themselves.
Isn't that what happened to Ken Shamrock which resulted in him pulling out of the Kimbo fight giving Seth the opportunity of a lifetime?
As I recall the MMA community were up in arms at such a ridiculous idea. Obviously warm up, but any training that close to the fight is just insane.
yea defo crazy training that close to a fight unless it was a semi or ammy fight where maybe skipping abit off weight off. I remember Brian Foster training the night before his cage warriors 44 fight after weigh ins he was going full throttle too and a was thinking wtf. so i guess it happens but that close is gonna be hard to find a replacement.

Sledge has got to be the most underrated ref in the country, I cant ever remember him making a mistake. Pretty sure I saw either his debut or one of his earlier reffing gigs at a ucmma and a fighter went a bit wild and wouldn't stop with some afters. Sledge nipped it in the bud brilliantly.
Maybe his work as an mc and in after partys has led to him not getting the acknowledgement he deserves I don't know.
I'm to wet to fight but if I ever did I always thought that id want a really strong ref in case I got weighed in, of course we all know who our top refs internationally are but in terms of a domestic ref sledge would be way up on the list of who I would trust. Another underrated ref is Rich Mitchell who works for cage warriors

Justin Bieber's New 'Stache [VIDEO]
Untitled DocumentNot a boy, not yet a man. Justin Bieber is desperately trying to grow himself some manly facial hair, but he's off to a VERY slow start.
The baby-faced pop star was pictured recently in Los Angeles and on his Instagram sporting some blonde fuzz over his upper lip. First bar fights, now facial hair—Justin just may be trying too hard to be a man. This peach fuzz is just plain awkward!
Is this an attempt to win back his hottie ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez? Too bad she's so busy on tour, she probably doesn't have time to acknowledge Justin's feeble attempts at manhood.

Timbers Army Helping Oso Mudslide Victims
Saturday is one of the biggest games of the year for the Portland Timbers. They take on their rivals, the Seattle Sounders. That competition extends into the stands, between the teams' fans: The Timbers Army and the Emerald City Supporters. That makes Saturday the perfect game to collect donations for the victims of the Washington mudslide. Organizers say both teams' fans will want to out do each other, and that will equal overflowing donation buckets for the Red Cross. Timbers Army volunteers will be collecting the donations inside the gates of Saturday's game. It starts at noon, gates open at 10:30.
The mudslide last month in Snohomish County killed more than two dozen people. The large debris field is still being searched.

Hey ya,
Sorry this cpu dose not support Virtualization Technology, only way to get bt working on your lappy is to do a dual boot running windows and linux on the same MBR
Hi All,
First post and a complete noob to Backtrack and VM so looking for some advice.
I have tried to load Backtrack 5.2 through Virtualbox and keep getting the following error
This kernel requires x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. Unable to boot - please use kernel appropriate for your CPU.
Having done some searching around I found that enabling VT-x on the CPU will solve this problem however I also discovered that my CPU does not support VT-x.
After further searching I cant seem to find another solution. Has anybody got any ideas how to fix or should I D/L another version of Backtrack? Would a BIOS update help if there is one availible?

I've never used Virtualbox, but always had good luck with 32-bit versions of BackTrack under VMWare products. I use VMWare Workstation now, and have used the free VMWare Server.
If I could figure out how to scuba dive & hack at the same time, there would be nothing I couldn't do...
thanks for replies guys.

A MIDI keyboard is a piano keyboard with special electronics for sending and receiving MIDI files. Recent MIDI keyboards have a sound quality as good as or better than mid-price grand pianos and upright pianos. Recent MIDI keyboards also have a weighted key mechanism which feels truly identical to the keys of a grand piano.
If you are considering which musical instrument to buy for making music, a MIDI keyboard is an excellent choice because
MIDI keyboards are designed to be connected to other MIDI devices including computers which have a MIDI interface on their soundcard. This is ideal for composing music with the help of music composition software like Rosegarden or MusE.
MIDI keyboards do not ever need to be tuned, thus saving the cost of regular piano tuning.
There are many different makes of MIDI keyboard: Yamaha, Roland, Korg, etc. It is best to get a MIDI keyboard with "weighted keys" that move and feel like real piano keys. The price range is USD 1000-3000. I personally prefer Yamaha Clavinovas and think the Yamaha CLP-170 Clavinova (at time of writing this in 2004) is equal in sound quality and touch to any mid-price grand piano -- a really excellent musical instrument!

Start-stop Engine Technology Coming to 2013 Ford Fusion
Shane McGlaun

Sender E-mail
Fusion to be the first non-hybrid mid-size to offer start-stop
The amount of research and development automakers are put into saving even the smallest amounts of fuel are impressive. The research is also necessary if automakers are to meet much more stringent
CAFE standards
moving forward. One of the technologies that will help automakers meet those fuel economy standards is start-stop technology.
Originally, start-stop technology was used on hybrid vehicles to allow them to save fuel while stopped at red lights or in traffic. The technology is now spilling over into traditional vehicles to help them save fuel. Ford will offer start-start technology as an option on the 2013 Fusion when equipped with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine. The technology will be dirt cheap, meaning that it's likely to be ordered on many of the vehicles that hit streets. Ford has price the start-stop option at $295.
Ford says that the new fusion is the first midsize sedan available with automatic start-stop that isn't a hybrid. Just as the technology works on a hybrid vehicle, when the Fusion driver comes to a complete stop the engine will turn off automatically to cut fuel consumption and reduce emissions. When the driver releases the brake pedal, the engine will automatically restart and be ready to move by time the gas pedal is pressed.
2013 Ford Fusion family [Source: Ford]
"We expect the average Fusion driver with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine and Auto Start-Stop will save about $1,100 more than other midsize sedan owners during five years of driving," said Samantha Hoyt, Ford Fusion Marketing Manager. "That's cash in their pocket and time saved with fewer trips to the pump."
Ford says that drivers who operate the vehicle in heavy urban areas and in city traffic will see up to 10% savings on fuel consumption. The average driver will see an increase in fuel efficiency of about 3.5%. As long as the technology is truly seamless and there is no hesitation between the engine stop and engine start, the majority of drivers will never notice the technology in operation.
The new
2013 Ford Fusion
will go on sale this fall and will offer two different EcoBoost all engines. The Fusion will also be offered in hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and naturally aspirated four-cylinder versions.

Bee sting
Bee sting
Insect bites or stings can be painful and sometimes deadly. Most often bites or stings do not require medical care but an allergic reaction from the sting can be an emergency situation. If a sting occurs from a honey bee, remove the stinger. Do not use tweezers since pinching the stinger will cause more venom to be released. Use a cold compress to reduce swelling. Over the next 24 to 48 hours, observe the site for signs of infection (such as increasing redness, swelling, pain).

a place to rest your bloggy head: on-site conference lodging
One of the many reasons we chose PSU for our conference (location, the amazing staff, supporting a public university), the on-site lodging options are pretty cool.
The hotel, actually part of the conference center, has a block of rooms set aside for us at a discounted rate—call University Place directly at 866.845.4647 and tell them you're attending Vida Vegan Con. Two room types are available:
• $99/night: Double Doubles (find a buddy on our Facebook group)
• $94/night: Standard King
This rate is not only good for Friday and Saturday nights (8/26-27), but also up to two nights before and after, so if you are extending your stay to make a vacation of it, you can take advantage of the special rate.
The crazy-special-cheap option? The dorm rooms! These are rooms with, yes, two twin beds, but also a private bathroom with shower, coffee maker, kitchenette, bedlinens and towels, and free plug-in Internet (with rumors of free wi-fi by then). Check out this video tour.
It's about a 3-block walk to the conference center—not too bad.
We have to rent these rooms ourselves so you'll be dealing with us directly on this. We'll be renting the rooms in weekend blocks only, so Friday and Saturday night, and after taxes/fees the room will be $110 total. That's two nights for two people. See this page for the PSU Summer Housing rules and our procedure before you Paypal us the money and names of both people staying in the room.
Can't wait for August!

What need would a penetration tester have for this tool?
iplist is a Linux application for blocking connections to and from a specified range of hosts using the netfilter netlink-queue library. Iplist is an open source IP filtering program similar to PeerGuardian for Linux
What need would a penetration tester have for this tool?
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
None really. If you're at the point where you need to be sure you don't scan particular IP addresses (a known SCADA system for e.g. was filtered to be sure it wasn't knocked down accidentally), you should be well and truly at the point of knowing how to use iptables without some skiddie code to help you out.
I vote no to this tool. If you desperately need it, you can figure from instructions on the site how to install it anyway.
Still not underestimating the power...
There is no such thing as bad information - There is truth in the data, so you sift it all, even the crap stuff.

I cried a lot this weekend. Like most of the nation, I've been paralyzed by the horrific events in Connecticut on Friday. I look into the faces of my own five and six year old boys and see the faces of the babies whose lives were cut short so senselessly. I see messages from a blogging friend whose nephew was one of those lost. I am angry. I am shocked. But mostly, I am heartbroken.
I watch the news and hear the stories of the educators who laid down their lives to protect their students – teachers and administrators who like my own children's school staff, dedicate their time and effort to help our children to grow and thrive. In my heart, I know that my own children's teachers would do exactly the same thing should something so horrific ever occur here.
Most of us don't give this a second thought. We send our children off to the care of others every day, never thinking that they would be faced with something so horrific. We never think that our teachers would have to act selflessly to save our children and protect them from harm. We take for granted that their job ends at teaching reading and math and all the other important things.
Today, I'm joining with hundreds of bloggers who have declared today "Thank a Teacher Day". I would like for each of you to reach out to the teachers and staff at your own child's school and thank them for caring. Write them a note. Send flowers. Take a treat to the office.
These are the people who see and care for our children sometimes more waking hours in the day than we do. Your babies are their babies and they would protect them with their lives.
Thank you to Julie at Julieverse for starting this initiative and creating the graphic for us all to use.

Nearly three thousand people opened their hearts and their wallets at a Friday night fundraiser for a group of young boys burned in a recent accident with a gas can in Perry, event organizers said.
"Let's just say the fire marshal was nervous because we were way past our maximum capacity," said Mardi Obray, owner of The Peak children's event center, which hosted the event.
Friends, family and strangers from the Perry area turned out for music, games, pictures with Santa and a silent auction of more than 400 items. One highlight: a tug-of-war contest with a firehose between community members of all ages and local firefighters.
"It was fabulous," said Obray. "The community just poured out the love."
Obray doesn't yet know how much money was raised from the event, but said the bake sale table alone took in just under $1,300.
Four of the five boys injured in the Nov. 15 accident were hospitalized with severe burns or other injuries.
Only one boy 7-year-old Tayton Winward remained hospitalized on Friday in a critical condition. He suffered second- and third-degree burns to his arms and face and has had skin graft surgery on his hands and arms. Doctors at the University Hospital burn center had placed the young boy in a medically induced coma on Monday, a press release publicizing the fundraiser said.
Each of the five families are facing financial burdens from medical bills and other expenses, said Obray, who was prompted to get involved because she employs Tayton's mother.
"We have strong ties to this," Obray said.
Officials say Tayton and his schoolmates Kayden Godfrey, Tyler Bergman, Spenser Cronin and a fifth boy whose family wishes to remain anonymous, were walking home from school when they saw an empty gasoline can in a yard near 2200 S. Linda Way (1000 West).
One of the boys had a cigarette lighter and used it to set a piece of paper on fire, Perry Police Chief Dale Weese said Friday.
The flaming paper was thrown onto a puddle of gas that the boys had poured on the ground. The flames made their way back to the gas can, which exploded, Weese said.
Tyler, 10, suffered second-degree burns to his face and hands that also required skin graft surgery. He is still recovering and undergoing physical therapy. Spenser had minor injuries after the explosion and was released from the hospital the same day. The fifth boy, whose name has not been released, is out of the hospital and recovering from burns to his legs that did not require surgery.
Kayden, 8, is still recovering from burns on his legs and is set to go into surgery for skin grafts, his father toldThe Salt Lake Tribuneby telephone Friday night.
"His burns were on two percent of his body," Blake Godfrey said, adding that about half of Kayden's burns will require skin grafts.
"But he's a tough boy and he's done really well. He's my little Superman," Blake Godfrey said. Godfrey declined to answer any questions about the accident or recount his son's version of the events.
"I can just say it was a true accident," Godfrey said. "It's not like the boys were trying to be destructive. Boys are boys. They were just curious and bad things happened."
Godfrey said he appreciates the outpouring of support from the community.
"It's unbelievable how many people will come out and help when people are in need," he said. "I'm very grateful."
Twitter: @KimballBennion
How to help
Funds have been set up to help the two most seriously injured boys. Contributions can be made for Tayton Windwad at any Zions Bank and for Kayden Godfrey at any America First Credit Union.

Shiva Nataraja, the King of Dance
Unknown artist, Indian, India; Tamil Nadu
Shiva Nataraja, the King of Dance, 16th Century
Height: 117.5 cm (46 1/4 inches)
Museum Appropriation Fund 33.026
The Hindu god Shiva performs his 'dance of bliss,' which creates and destroys the cosmos in an eternal cycle of regeneration. Shiva balances on one leg upon a demon-dwarf, symbol of darkness and ignorance, with the other leg raised, representing deliverance from those evils. A blazing aura surrounds him as he moves to the rhythm of creation tapped out on the drum he holds. The flame in his upper left hand is cosmic destruction. His lower left points downward to his raised foot, while his lower right hand makes a gesture of protection. Depictions of Shiva as Nataraja, King of the Dance, were first created during the Chola Period (ca. 907—1279). Cult images such as this were used in temples and were sometimes carried in processions.

Is it ever permissible to install a bypass switch or to disable an e-stop? For some reason, a few "safety forums" on the Internet have had this discussion going for months. These are international discussions, yet one requirement in the analysis is missing consistently.
On this subject, can you actually imagine several engineers corroborating and contributing argumentation on how to install and why not to install a bypass switch on an e-stop circuit. The discussions veer off into SIL levels, PL (Performance Levels), MTTFd (Mean Time To Fail dangerous), B10 values, and more. Sometimes there's even a brief discussion about the Machinery Directive or different standards like IEC 61508-1, IEC 62061, ISO 13849-1, and IEC 60204-1, and different ways to derive calculations based on different interpretations.
Just when it looks like the discussion is about to arrive at a conclusion someone asks something like, "Well, just what is it you're trying to accomplish? And, why is this question on the table?" Then a strategy discussion launches on why and how a safety function can be bypassed.
So, what is the one requirement not even hinted at so far? That's right, the risk assessment!
Why is it that these discussions can go on for months back and forth and no one interjects the "risk assessment" discussion?
4 questions to ask if you're thinking of bypassing an e-stop
Here are some of the questions I can think of related to this topic:
1. Does the current risk assessment allow for a given hazard to become unmitigated?
2. Does your company safety policy allow for a given hazard to become unmitigated?
3. Do machine safety application standards like IEC 60204-1, ISO 13849-1, or in the U.S. – NFPA 79 allow e-stops to be by-passed or disabled?
4. Is there any established and documented compliant basis whereby it is okay to bypass an e-stop?
Well, if the answers to these questions are generally, "NO," then, why would anyone even consider designing and engineering an e-stop bypass?
Additionally, I'd want to know if the individual asking the original question is talking about an application based on international standards or domestic U.S. standards. The answer to that question might then promote discussions involving risk assessment, that is: ISO 12100 versus ANSI B10.0. I'm sure you get the point!

No standard or group of standards and safety committees can trump expert judgment.
We should look at standards as GUIDELINES. These guidelines could be envisioned as boundary conditions within which good process procedures and operations are expected for normal good operations.
Instead, design and execution of good and safe process control should EXCEED standards - particularly where serious safety factors are concerned.
I am seeing too many cases of XYZ Standard Documents being used in discussion groups to replace expert judgment. We have a plethora of standards piled so high now that we've forgot what trumps all of them. Now you know.
Back to the answer. Instead of worrying about whether a particular e-stop can be bypassed for some special need such as machine setup and whether the risk is acceptable and follows all the XYZ standards -- focus on changing the situation to provide a safe operation. If there is ANY foreseen risk of serious injury when this estop is bypassed (based on Expert Judgment not standards)then work on reducing that serious risk to zero or at the vary minimum to a level where Expert Judgement plus process experts are in conclusive agreement that the risk is now nil and you are safe.
There are the unpredictable risks that must also be dealt with and Experts will spot this. Often the machine and process knowledge and discipline of the operator, setup tech, (or anyone who touches the equipment) is the highest risk after making the control factors safe. Be sure to take care of this safety factor -- no matter what the standards say.
The real solution to this question should not have to consult a single standard document to decide on how to make the required special operation with a bypass of the main E-stop button safe. The solution should please the safety guys as they will find it meets or exceeds all standards.
With greatest respect for all the hard working standards and safety engineers please seek out true hands-on experienced and knowledgeable experts and put Expert Judgement as the first requirement in all safety standard documents and standards as the determining factor - don't rely and piles of standards to guide accepatble safety questions - there are too many variables which no number of documents will cover.

John John Florence Wins The Billabong Rio Pro
Of all the things that we took out of his victory this morning in Brazil, the one thing that struck me as most significant was the fact that John Florence became the first Hawaiian to win a World Tour event since Andy Irons. AI left some big shoes to fill, but the similarities are there—fearless and dominating in big waves, and able to rip the hell out of the small stuff with the best of 'em. For instance, who had John John penciled in as their winner in Brazil? I sure didn't. But with the next two events going down at Cloudbreak and Teahupo'o (two heavy reef breaks tailor made for his style of surfing) it's feasible that John could finish the South Pacific leg of the tour atop the ratings heading into Lowers and Europe.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves, check out the highlights from John's very first World Tour win. But while we're on the subject, one thing we will predict is more of these first place checks…—JC

ASP World Championship Tour Event No. 3 of 10
ASP Women's World Championship Tour Event No. 5 of 7
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
May 9 – 20, 2012
John John Florence Wins Billabong Rio Pro, Parkinson Takes Ratings' Lead
BARRA DA TIJUCA, Rio de Janeiro/Brazil (Wednesday, May 16, 2012) – John John Florence (HAW), 19, has won his maiden ASP ASP World Championship Tour event, taking out the Billabong Rio Pro over Joel Parkinson (AUS), 31, in barreling three-to-four foot (1 metre) waves at Barra da Tijuca.
Florence, currently in his rookie year on the ASP WCT, proved unstoppable on the final day of Billabong Rio Pro competition, topping prodigious Australian Julian Wilson (AUS), 23, and Josh Kerr (AUS), 27, on his way to triumph over Parkinson.
"This is the best feeling in the world," Florence said. "I had that bad heat at Arpoador to start and we had a couple of lay days and I had to just sit and think about it. I can't even believe this right now. I'm in shock. I was just sticking to my game plan and not thinking about the other guys. I'm so happy right now."
Florence, who now sits at No. 6 on the ASP WCT, will look to carry the momentum from today's massive victory to the upcoming ASP WCT events in Fiji and Tahiti. "This helps my confidence so much," Florence said. "I have a lot of confidence going into events with barreling waves like Pipe. Obviously I have a lot of confidence in barrels from my experience at Pipe, but coming here, I wasn't expecting a big result. I was just hoping to make a few heats."
Parkinson utilized his complete skill set at Barra Da Tijuca, driving through barrels, lofting airs and unloading powerful carves en route to his Finals berth, but was unable to find a rhythm against Florence and finished runner-up overall. "I'm a little bit disappointed as I never really got a start in that final, but overall, I'm stoked," Parkinson said. "The quality of waves here were unreal. Yesterday, we had full barrels and good sections for turns and airs, it was good for the event."
Parkinson's finish today propels the Australian into the frontrunner position for the ASP World Title, but Parkinson was humble in claiming his spot atop the rankings. "It's a good feeling I suppose," Parkinson said. "It's a long way to go and I don't want to get too far ahead of myself, but I'm stoked. I've had a couple of really nice consistent results. I have been in this position before though so I'm hoping to maintain my performance level throughout the rest of the year."
Josh Kerr (AUS), 27, put in an amazing performance at the Billabong Rio Pro with an astounding array of barrels and airs to take an equal 3rd place finish. Kerr surfed strong on the Final day of competition, but was unable to surpass Florence in their Semifinal bout.
"I tried an air on the first wave I got and turned around and saw John John (Florence said) in the most perfect barrel," Kerr said. "Out here in this beachbreak you've got to keep an open mind. The wind came up from the south in my heat so I was looking for the backhand airs. John John got the perfect barrel and there's not much I could do about that."
Kerr's equal 3rd place finish at the Billabong Rio Pro matches his career-best result as he continues to build momentum against the world's best surfers. "I've had three Semifinals now, but it's better than no Semifinals," Kerr said. "I've had three back-to-back results and for me, going from 33rds on my previous years on tour until last year, it's good progress and hopefully I can keep it going."
Kerr was responsible for a big upset in the Quarterfinals, eliminating 2011 Billabong Rio Pro champion and local favorite Adriano de Souza (BRA), 25, when he took to the air in the back half of their bout. "I was definitely on the back foot," Kerr said. "Adriano (de Souza) had a 14 point heat total and I just relaxed and figured it's a couple of 7s. I knew my airs could get me those scores. I was lucky to land that one at the end. I knew I had to launch into the flats because there's no soft landing, it just dumps. I was lucky to keep it steady under my feet."
Mick Fanning (AUS), 30, two-time ASP World Champion, eliminated Brazilian Alejo Muniz (BRA), 22, in the Quarterfinals but lost a hard-fought heat to close friend Joel Parkinson in the Semifinals to finish equal 3rd overall. "It's always fun surfing against Joel and we started out bang-for-bang," Fanning said. "That's just the way it goes, but it's always fun. Even though you lose, your friend's in the Final, so you win. I would have liked to make the Final but I just didn't get the right waves and Joel (Parkinson) surfed great."
Kelly Slater (USA), 40, reigning 11-time ASP World Champion, was absent from the Billabong Rio Pro, citing an ankle injury. The Floridian's absence relinquished his former frontrunner status on the ratings and Slater now sits at ASP World No. 8.

FONTANA - There were few dry eyes in the room as community leaders, school district officials, family members and friends paid tribute to Kathy Binks, who by choice ended 25 years of service on the school board on Wednesday night.
Some 200 filled the Fontana Unified School District's board meeting room and spilled over to the hallways.
Fontana Teachers Association President Pat Mazzulli said he remembers as a Fontana High School student, in 1973-1974, driving a friend to Binks' house.
Binks and her husband Dean Binks took at-risk children into their home and raised them with their own kids, Mazzulli recalled.
As a Fontana teacher and more recently in his role as a union leader, Mazzulli said Kathy Binks is rare in her ability to listen and absorb what people say to her.
"She will tell you up front what she thinks and then she will listen," Mazzulli said.
San Bernardino County Supervisor Janice Rutherford told Binks, "If I only accomplish a fraction of the good that you have done, I will consider myself a success."
Frank Scialdone, former mayor and former police chief, said that many have sat on the school board and said "it's all about the kid" but Kathy and Dean Binks "know what makes kids tick and what makes kids successful.
"There will never be another person who sits up here with that knowledge," Scialdone said.
Dean Binks was among those to praise the retiring school board member.
"I have never seen someone sit up there with the control you have," he said.

Friday, June 12 2009 - Truth Movement News
A Commitment to More Civil and Effective Collaboration in the 9/11 Truth Movement
This statement was originally published in February of 2007 and has since remained posted at our About Us page; today it seems timely to repost it to the front page. Given the current climate of fear and hatred swirling about us--indeed, throughout our society, perpetuated by much of the media, government spokespersons and individuals seething with hatred--we would do well to re-commit, as a community of truth advocates, to continuing truly 'civil and effective' work.
– Ed.
Because we still lack subpoena and discovery powers, members of the 9/11 truth movement and American citizens as a whole will not be able to fully connect the "dots" of 9/11 events until key classified documents and videos are leaked or released. In the meantime, many of us will develop theories about those events and what really occurred. Given the incompleteness of the facts at hand, our theories will invariably differ. They therefore can and should be sincerely discussed and analyzed, but this debate must not obscure the reality that the investigative tasks we face still remain extremely challenging.
We believe our campaign to expose the truth of 9/11 offers the world more essential insights into current political and economic reality than any other modern movement and therefore can empower the most profound social transformation of our age. This work is far too important to debilitate with egotism, zealotry or self-inflicted wounds, and we must make every effort to sustain the unprecedented progress we have made.
Because the 9/11 truth movement presents grave moral, legal and political threats to those in power, we would be naïve to not anticipate covert governmental intervention in our activities and attempts to divide, disrupt and discredit us by promoting hateful or repellant theories and sowing internal discord. Indeed, the greatest risk these forces pose to our work is not espionage or disinformation; it is the provocation of destructive mistrust between authentic activists.
We the undersigned therefore commit ourselves to work together towards our greater goals with the least possible rancor and internal strife. We agree to reject ad hominem denunciations and attacks upon others' motives, and focus our critical attention upon the logic, factual evidence and probability supporting certain hypotheses instead. Our ultimate goal must be the full disclosure of 9/11 truth, which is disserved by factional warfare on behalf of partial points of view. We will strive to fill in the gaps of the evidentiary record, so that facts dictate our conclusions rather than conjecture or emotional charges and appeals.
Finally, since we ourselves must embody the societal changes we wish to see, we vow to continue our work with fierce devotion, but also with mutual respect, selflessness and above all, honesty.

Kathy - from Greenville, RI
Unfortunately, royal icing dulls as it dries. You don't mention what you are making with the royal icing. If you are making flowers and other decorations , you can give these decorations a sheen by brushing them with Pearl Dust. It comes in a variety of colors, including gold, bronze and silver; if you can't find a Pearl Dust color to match your royal icing decoration, brushing with White works well on all colors.

Hi all
At the moment I'm trying to change the li tags within the twitter iFrame I'm using, without success so far.No errors, just nothing happens.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#twitter-widget-0').find('.tweet').css('padding','12px 12px 10px 69px');
Some of the markup which I've minimised for viewing purposes:

You'll also notice the iframe and div within the body have the same ID.Not sure if this is causing the issue.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, CB
Unless the content of the iframe is loading from the same site as the main page there is security in place to completely block access to the iframe content - unless both pages implement postMessage to pass messages backward and forward.
The code I have below is now working.I had this snippet already and just got it working on mobile, though doesn't seem to always fire.
$(".twitter-timeline").contents().find(".tweet").css("padding","12px 12px 10px 69px");
$(".twitter-timeline").contents().find(".var-narrow.var-chromeless .tweet").css("padding","5px 8px 6px 12px");
}, 1000);
How do I add multiple css styles?
.css("padding","5px 8px 6px 12px","margin","0 auto 12px"); // doesn't work
.css("padding":"5px 8px 6px 12px","margin":"0 auto 12px"); // doesn't work
Thanks, cb
I've managed to fix the multiple css issue if anybodys interested, I was missing the extra braces { }
.css({"padding":"5px 8px 6px 12px","margin":"0 auto 12px"});
I'm also seeing lots of WP themes heavily customising the Twitter timeline, to the extent that you wouldn't even know it was twitter.
In conclusion, I've found Twitter timelines can be styled to reflect your website to match your colors and designs using a bit of JS, you're not limited to Twitters light and dark out of the box styling.
If anybody can add to this, or knows of a better way to do things, please share.
I would have answered the same as felgall, basically if the iframe and the CSS are on different domains then you can forget it.So, I was surprised to read that this approach worked for you.Would you mind sharing a link to your site, so I can see this in action?
Regarding adding multiple CSS properties, you are correct, the syntax is $(selector).css({property: "value", property: "value"});However, if you are adding more than a couple of inline declarations,it might be better to define a class and add and remove the class as necessary via JS.
$(selector).css({property: "value", property: "value"});
I was surprised to read that this approach worked for you.
I was myself after listening to felgall, though after much searching I came across the timeout JS which seems to work. addClass will be my next approach if I need to start customising things more heavily.
Below is a comment taken from the twitter dev site, if this is achievable, how do we select these html elements to style? And is there a way to shorten the amount of code we write, maybe using the Bind Event Handler?
You have the complete twitter feed as a DOM tree, do whatever you want.
I'm also wondering why:
// this doesn't work
// but this does ?
Would you mind sharing a link to your site, so I can see this in action?
Sorry Pullo, everything is running locally at the minute.
Ah ok, that makes a lot more sense.
Well, you seem to have done that:
$(".twitter-timeline").contents().find(".tweet").css("padding","12px 12px 10px 69px");
bind() is for attaching events to dom elements, not for selecting elements.
Well, you need the iframe to have loaded before you can select elements it contains.When the dom is ready ($(document).ready(function(){...}), the iframe element will be present, but its contents may not have loaded.
In your case it would be better to write:
$('.twitter-timeline').load(function() {
$(".twitter-timeline").contents().find(".tweet").css("padding","12px 12px 10px 69px");
which waits for the iframe (plus contents) to have loaded, then proceeds.
Well, you seem to have done that
I see, though wouldn't we need to write lots of lines of code to select each element/style individually as shown below? This is what I meant when I said reduce the code somehow if we needed to do this. Or is this the only way?
$(".twitter-timeline").contents().find(".tweet").css("padding","12px 12px 10px 69px");
$(".twitter-timeline").contents().find(".tweet .deeper li a").css("padding","12px 10px");
$(".twitter-timeline").contents().find(".some-class div a").html("");
// and so on...
bind() is for attaching events to dom elements, not for selecting elements.
I'll have to read up on bind thanks.
$('.twitter-timeline').load(function() { $(".twitter-timeline").contents().find(".tweet").css("padding","12px 12px 10px 69px"); });
which waits for the iframe (plus contents) to have loaded, then proceeds
$('.twitter-timeline').load(function() { $(".twitter-timeline").contents().find(".tweet").css("padding","12px 12px 10px 69px"); });
which waits for the iframe (plus contents) to have loaded, then proceeds
That makes more sense, that will explain why sometimes the CSS does not fire. About one in every five page loads, it doesn't work. I'll give that a try.
Um, not sure.My immediate thought would be that if you can use JS to select ".tweet .deeper li a" and style it appropriately, you could simply do this in a stylesheet and avoid the JS altogether.
padding","12px 12px 10px 69px
.tweet .deeper li a{
padding","12px 10px
Dynamically added elements should pick up on existing CSS styles.
you could simply do this in a stylesheet and avoid the JS altogether
If it was only that easy Pullo (:Already tried this, the master css that ships with twitter has top level dominance. Just ignores any css I add to the page.
As it stands, things are working fairly well at the moment, a lot better than a few days ago anyway. I can modify things as I need them now, generally gathering information really which will be very useful for other projects down the line, still learning.
I tried using .load but nothing happened. I'll stick with timeout for now a think.
$('.twitter-timeline').load(function() {
Thanks for the help.cb
Ok, well if ever you get to a position where you can share the code publicly, post back here and I'll be happy to have a look to see if we can find a way to streamline the JS.
Cool, will do thanks.

No suspects in shooting death of Cleveland firefighter
(Cleveland) -- Cleveland firefighters are mourning the loss of one of their own, Lt. William Walker, who was shot dead Sunday night in front of his home on Lampson Road on Cleveland's east side.
At a Monday afternoon news conference, acting Cleveland Fire Chief Patrick Kelly asked the public to call city homicide detectives if they had any clues about Walker's death, which is being treated as a homicide. The homicide detectives can be reached at 216-623-5464.

Kelly would not say much about the death of Walker, since the investigation is still in progress. He did say, however, that Walker was a 15-year veteran of the CFD, was promoted to Lieutenant in August, and worked in the EMS office.
Division of Fire spokesman Larry Gray, who knew Walker personally, says "He was a great asset to the division, very well liked and respected."
Cleveland Police have no suspect information about Walker's killer. Det. Jennifer Ciaccia says family members heard yelling, and then gunfire, but did not see a suspect. "That's why it's imperative that if anyone saw anything or knows something to contact our homicide unit," said Ciaccia.

Nansen found two groups of monks squabbling over the ownership of a cat. Nansen went to the kitchen and brought back a chopper. He picked up the cat and said to the monks, "If any of you can say a good word, you can save the cat."Not a word was said, so Nansen cut the cat in two and gave half to each group. When Joshu returned that evening, Nansen told him what had happened. Joshu said nothing. He just put his sandals on his head and walked out. Nansen said, "If you had been there, you could have saved the cat."
Life cannot be saved by the mind, by thinking, by logic, and if you try to save it by logic you will lose it. Life can be saved only through an irrational jump, through something that is not intellectual but total. But the whole story seems to be too cruel. Nansen's disciples were struggling over a cat. Nansen had a big monastery and there were two wings to the monastery. This cat was moving from one wing to the other and both wings claimed that the cat belonged to them - and the cat was a beautiful one.
The first thing to be understood is: a real sannyasin cannot claim any ownership. A sannyasin means one who has left all possessions - or all possessiveness, which is more basic and deeper. You can leave possessions, that is easy; but to leave possessiveness is difficult because it goes deeper in the mind. You can leave the world, but the mind goes on clinging to it.
These monks, Nansen's disciples, had left the world behind - their homes, their wives, their children - but now they were fighting over the ownership of a cat. This is how mind works. You leave one thing and the mind claims another, but the basic thing remains the same, and it makes no difference if the object of ownership changes - it makes no difference. The difference, the revolution, the real change, comes only when the subjectivity changes, when the owner changes. This is the first thing to be understood. Monks claiming ownership of a cat looks foolish, but this is how monks have been acting all over the world. They leave their house, then they claim ownership of the temple, of the church. They leave everything but they can't leave their mind, and the mind creates new worlds for them continuously.
So it is not a question of possessing a kingdom; even a cat will do. And wherever possession comes in, fighting, violence and aggression are bound to be there. Whenever you possess you are fighting, because that which you possess belongs to the whole. You cannot possess anything; you can use it, that's all. How can we possess the sky and how can we possess the earth? But we possess, and that possession creates all types of conflicts, struggle, wars, violence and everything.
Man has been fighting and fighting continuously. Historians say that within the last three thousand years there have been wars almost continuously somewhere or other on the earth. In three thousand years we have fought at least fourteen thousand wars. Why so much fighting? It is because of possession. If you possess you have started a war with the whole.
