text: It took years of complaining by women on the show but producers of The Young And The Restless finally had enough of Michael Muhney and fired him. The actor, who plays Adam Newman on the soap is the answer to a lot of my blind items and Soap Suds blind items. For years he has been harassing women and groping them and pressuring them and doing everything he could to make them uncomfortable. According to TMZ, the thing that finally got him fired is that Hunter King who plays Summer was going to sue the show and the producers and Michael and anyone else she could think of if they didn't fire him. She says that he repeatedly fondled her breasts and she was over it and going to quit and sue. There is no way the producers want a line of women to come forward so they fired the guy. Michael is married and has three children.

When I was in college I used OpenVPN to get around the firewall. My home PC had OpenVPN running on TCP port 443. My college's firewall was pretty intense, it wouldn't even let you access SSL over port 80, which is why I had to choose 443.
Sorry to show my ignorance here, but I didn't know there was a way of checking that SSL traffic contains HTTP, not without having the decryption key. How does this IDS thing work? How can it look at SSL traffic and determine whether it contains HTTP? (I did a quick Google for it but it appears the initialism IDS is used for about 20 different things so I don't know which one I'm looking for).

Hi Sima,
Breastfeeding does not damage the shape of the breast - if anything, my husband loved my breasts when I was breastfeeding because they were much fuller and larger. As we age, the collagen in our skin changes and that's the time when wrinkles appear on the face and hands, and breasts will tend to sag. As you age with your husband, he may not even notice the skin or breasts sagging because it won't happen for decades, and it's just a natural part of growing older. It's kind of like when you have a child. You are with that child all the time and you don't notice the changes in your child's looks from day to day. But if your mum comes to visit when the baby is born, and then she doesn't see him until he is 2 months old, she will comment on how much he's grown, and how different he looks. You don't notice it because you've been with him every day, and this is how it is with a husband and a wife.
If you want to post the ingredients in the cream you are considering putting on your skin, I can give you an idea of whether the ingredients would cause any harm. Our skin is our largest organ and anything you put on it will be absorbed into your body. If you are breastfeeding or pregnant while using a cream, then the baby will be exposed to those ingredients as well.
Warm Regards,

tkiptun-ng works!
but if you are not getting arp request look the source code.
tkiptun-ng works in 802.11e wirelesse network
if you dont get arp paquet, you are not in 802.11e network
or you have not actived it.
xnoor the AP and the client need to both support 802.11e. You can check your access point by logging into it. I know my Belkin AP has an option for QoS mode under the wireless section.
Some AP's have this on by default, especially the ones that come with that fancy sticker that says voip support.
My ddwrt supports it but it need to be enabled in the firmware .. thats really the only way to turn it on. I will say that airodump can spot AP's that have this turned on you just need to know what to look for.
As for the actual attack ive never done it myself so i dont have a clue what steps need to be taken ... one thing that kinda bothered me tho while doing some searching, and pretty much the main reason im posting here is.
What exactly does this attack do .. i know it will give you a few bytes of the passcode, but is there a way to plug that into cowpatty or aircrack to speed up the cracking process?
Using backtrack for the first time is like being 10 years old again with the keys to a Ferrari.
i'm stuck to capture.
my computer have successful michael=>> but can't not capture a handshake.
i use iwl3945. somebody can solve!!!please, help me(i'm very poor).
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.
somebody can step by step show me how to crack wpa tkip use tkiptun-ng by iwl3945
WPA uses a seperate encryption "seed" for each client, thus getting a single "seed" allows you to read that clientss transmissions and gain recon before even touching the network (get the IPs/netmask if its not using DHCP, learn who is most active, and maybe why, etc)
I use the word seed very loosely because that is not the actual term but is the nicest way to put it.

The big picture
If you're bored by a plain boxy room, take heart. You don't have to rip apart walls and ceilings to make the space more inviting, better lit and more dramatic. The simple soffit project we show here will do all that. A soffit is a dropped section of ceiling that's usually positioned along the walls. It creates a multi-height ceiling, which in itself adds a visual feature. But even better, it offers a perfect home for lighting—general lighting for the room as a whole and recessed lights for practical uses like illuminating closets and reading, as well as for highlighting artwork and display shelves.
In this article, we'll show you how to dramatically improve any room with a soffit and lights. We'll walk you through a simple soffit building method that leaves the existing ceilings and walls intact, so there's no messy drywall repair work. And we'll show you how to install electrical fixtures and run wires inside the new soffit so you won't have to open up walls for the new electrical work.
If you've successfully tackled any simple carpentry project, such as building a deck or installing utility shelves, you're more than qualified to handle this project. Most of the project is just a matter of cutting 2x4s and plywood to length and screwing them into place. Start to finish, you can complete this project in two easy weekends.
You'll only need everyday carpentry tools, including a 4-ft. level, circular saw, screw gun, jigsaw and a miter saw for accurate cuts on the trim.
You'll also need basic electrical skills to complete the wiring (see "Planning the Wiring").We won't show in this article how to set new electrical boxes, run new wires or install the fixtures. If you're unsure about these details, hire an electrician. Apply for an electrical permit before you start.
Designing your soffit
Our soffits are 8 in. high and 28 in. wide, and they'll fit in any room with 8-ft.or higher ceilings (as long as the door and window trim is at least 10 in. from the ceiling).You can make soffits wider or taller to suit larger rooms if you wish. But the 8-in.height is the minimum needed to handle the depth of the recessed lights. The 28-in.width is about the minimum needed to position recessed lights far enough from walls to effectively light wall-hung features. Larger rooms may benefit visually with upsized soffits.
We added three wood trim bands to finish off the soffit (Figure A).Choose wood profiles, types and finishes for these that match or contrast with the room's other trim. Our trim is lightly stained 3/4-in. thick maple.
The lighting fixtures in our soffit are of two types: "rope" lighting for unobtrusive mood lighting and recessed soffit fixtures for specific lighting tasks. Rope lighting's all the rage among designers. It's cheap, and it can be cut to length for shorter runs or spliced together for longer ones. Special splicing connections and end caps make that easy. Measure the inner perimeter of the soffit to determine how much rope light you'll need. The home center will carry lengths from just a few feet to dozens of feet. The rope light is controlled by two three-way switches so the light can be flipped from either the bedside (for those midnight bathroom runs) or from near the door.
Recessed lights are perfect for specific lighting tasks (see opening photo). You'll need to select trim rings and bulbs designed for your purposes. We'll say more about that in "Selecting Recessed Lights, ".
Planning the Wiring
Draw up a diagram showing the light and switch positions to help you plan the wiring. The power source will be an existing circuit at a switch box or outlet. To make sure you don't overload the circuit, add up the wattage of each bulb you intend to use (our total was 450 watts) and any other appliances or lights already on the circuit. Divide that number by 120 (volts) to get the total amperage load on the circuit with the new lights. That number shouldn't exceed 80 percent of the rating of the circuit breaker that protects the circuit. If it does, find another circuit or have an electrician run a new one.
Try to select switch locations that are easy to reach with a cable from the power source. The soffit will serve as easy access to most spots. Alternatives include running cable through an unfinished basement or the attic, and mounting switches near an existing light switch in the same stud space.
Spend some time thinking about your switch locations to best suit each individual light or group of lights. For example, consider placing the switches for nightlights and reading lights within easy reach of headboards in bedrooms. Also consider your switch options: dimmer switches for lighting artwork or display shelves, three-way switches for controlling lights from two locations, and motion detector switches.
Mark your lighting locations and the ceiling framing
Begin by walking around your room and deciding where you'd like more light. Artwork, display shelves, tables, favorite reading spots, closets and entry areas are all prime candidates. After you decide the best locations, mark them on the wall with painter's tape about 1 ft. down from the ceiling (Photo 1). Then draw up a wiring plan and apply for your electrical permit. (See Figure A above and "Planning the Wiring," for more details.)
Use a stud finder to find any ceiling framing that falls within 24 in. of the walls. On two sides of the room, ceiling framing will run perpendicular to the walls, and on the opposite sides it will run parallel. Mark the framing locations with chalk lines and pencil marks as shown in Photo 1. Lay out the soffit framing by snapping a chalk line around the perimeter of the room 24 in. away from the wall where the joists are perpendicular and 22-1/2 in. away where the joists are parallel (Photo 1).
Measure the Room and Buy the Materials
Measure the length of each wall in the room, and using our photos and Figure A, write up a materials list. If possible, buy 2x2s and 2x4s as long as each wall. You'll need roughly:
- Three 2x4s for each wall, the same length as the wall
For every 8 ft. of wall:
- One 4 x 8-ft. sheet of 5/8-in. thick CDX plywood
- One 4 x 8-ft. sheet of 1/2-in. thick drywall
- One 8-ft. length of "tear-away" drywall edging
- One 8-ft. pine 1x2
In addition, buy:
- A 1-lb. box each of 3-in. drywall screws, 16d nails, 1-5/8 and 1-1/4 in. screws (enough fasteners for all but the largest rooms)
- A 1-gallon pail of taping compound and roll of tape.
You'll also need 1x4 material for the soffit trim (Figure A) and 3/4 x 5/8-in. trim for the soffit underside and ceiling joint. Rip the narrow trim from a 1x3 with a table saw or buy slim moldings. For accurate trim lengths, it's best to measure the soffit after it's framed. Avoid splices for a more polished look.
Frame the soffit
Anchoring the soffit to the ceiling requires two different techniques, depending on whether the ceiling joists run perpendicular or parallel to the wall (Photo 1). Along walls with perpendicular joists, simply screw a 2x2 even with the chalk line that's 24 in. away from the wall (Photo 2). You can buy 2x2s, but they're notorious for being crooked and only come in 8-ft. lengths. If you have a table saw, simply rip long 2x4s in half.
Along walls with parallel joists, screw 2x4 blocks to the ceiling joists and nail 2x2s to the ends. If you only catch one ceiling joist, toe screw the 2x4s to the top 2x4 wall plate (Photo 2). Then nail the ledger to the wall studs (Photo 3).Keep it exactly even with the 8-in. guideline. (Take down any pictures on the other side of the wall or Whistler's Mother may take a dive!)
Finding studs and joists behind drywall is easy with a good stud finder, but if you have trouble, probe with a nail in a spot that'll be hidden by the soffit. The rest of the framing will be spaced either 16 or 24 in. from any that you find.
Now rip each sheet of plywood into two widths: one 28-1/2 in. for the soffit underside and the other 8 in. for the soffit facing. Measure and cut both pieces from opposite edges of the sheet so you leave a straight factory edge on each one. It's important to set the 8-in. facing pieces perfectly level (Photo 4). Check for level at a few places in between. If you have a sagging ceiling, you may have to scribe the plywood against the ceiling and cut it to accommodate variations. If all is level, drive the rest of the screws, spacing them every 6 in. and working your way around the room. Then add the 2x2s and lookouts to the lower plywood edge (Photo 5).
Rough-in the wiring
We'll show you how to route and run the cable here, but we won't show how to install boxes or make wiring connections.
Carefully cut holes for new switch boxes and then knock holes in the wall behind the soffit directly above them (Photo 6). Feed the cable down through the soffit hole and out the remodeling box hole, then run the cable to each soffit light location, stapling it every 2 ft. to the upper part of the 2x4 ledger. Cut the cable at each light, leaving at least 2 ft. of cable for hooking up the lights later. Don't scrimp on the extra cable or you'll have problems later. Coil both ends and temporarily tack them to the framing with a staple, then continue running the cable to the rest of the lights (Photo 7).
Select a spot for the duplex outlet that powers the rope lights. Cut the outlet hole at the bottom of the soffit just above the 2x2 with a jigsaw. Run a cable from the switch box to this outlet. (You'll have to carve out the back of the drywall later to eliminate the bulge caused by the nailing flange.)
Finish up the framing
Walls are rarely as straight as you might think, so use this technique to get the soffit straight. String a chalk line even with, but not touching, the inside edge of the 2x2 and use it as a guide to measure exact lengths for the 2x4 "lookouts" (Photo 7). Wedge each lookout into place and check the string to make sure it fits before nailing it into place. Lookouts can be spaced anywhere from 2 ft. to 3 ft. But keep them at least 6 in. away from the recessed light locations.
Drywall the soffit faces first. Cut a 7-3/4-in.-wide strip from each sheet and set the larger leftover sections aside for the soffit underside. Place the tapered edge of the strip near the bottom of the soffit where it won't show. Next, screw the plywood to the underside of the soffit. If you have wavy walls, you may have to cut some sheets narrower to make them fit. Cut the plywood so the ends join under soffit lookouts (Photo 9). Then cut out the holes for the light fixtures (Photo 10).These holes are extra large because the fixtures will mount to the drywall, not to the wood.
Next, screw the drywall to the underside of the plywood with the cut edge facing the wall, leaving a 1/4-in. gap for the tearaway drywall edging (Photo 12). Reach over the top and score the drywall along the soffit face. Then snap the piece and finish the cut from the underside. Recessed lights usually come with exact templates to help you mark the mounting holes (Photo 13). Then cut the openings.
Finishing the drywall
Begin finishing off the drywall by installing the tear-away edging. Staple it about every 4 in. and wherever the edging puckers. Fill in the edging with compound using a 6-in.putty knife. Ride the knife's edge on the ridge of the edging near the wall (Photo 14).Apply at least two coats, letting it dry between coats. Also tape the drywall joints and fill the screw holes as well. It's not necessary to tape against the ceiling because trim will cover that joint. Tear off the flange, then sand over the flange and any joints, then paint.
Add the trim
Prefinish all the trim and nail all trim pieces with 2-1/4-in. brads. The ends of the trim will show from below at corners, so if you're a persnickety trim carpenter, miter the corners.
Selecting Recessed Lights
For your soffit lights, we recommend 6-in.-diameter recessed fixtures that are labeled "remodeling." They're simple to install because they have little clips that clamp the housing onto the drywall lip that surrounds the opening. They also make building the soffits a breeze because they don't require special framing.
"Trim rings" finish off the fixture at the soffit underside. You can choose between a number of different styles and finishes. We chose eyeball rings (opening photo) because you can aim the light in whatever direction is best for the task. Finally, select the type (spot or flood) and intensity (wattage) of the light bulbs. Spot lamps are good for highlighting artwork, while flood lamps work best for spreading the light over larger areas like the inside of a closet. Each fixture has a wattage limit, but you may not want the maximum output. The best way to work out these variables is to buy a couple of each type of bulb in different wattages and experiment to find the best choice for each fixture.
Finish the wiring
Hook up the recessed lights by pulling the cables free of the opening and stripping off 8 in. of the sheathing. Slip the wires through the back of the fixture box and tighten the wire clamps. Join the wires with electrical connectors and reclose the metal electrical box. The directions that come with the fixtures will make the clamping system clear. Wire and install the rope light outlet and then the wall switches, adding remodeling boxes where needed.
Finish up the lighting by screwing in the bulbs and snapping the eyeball trim rings into place. Lastly, cut the rope light to fit or splice together lengths so it fills the trough around the inner perimeter of the soffit (Photo 18).

Our annual holiday gift shopping guide for golfers and those who adore them (unless they're taking up four hours to play when they should be shopping for a tree or hanging up lights):
The rangefinders
From my spot on the tee box, there are no golf gadgets more valuable than rangefinders. Knowing the real yardage, not guessing, during a round means everything. It gives you confidence in the shot, it hones your understanding of how you hit each club, and it's a fine practice tool.
They're great if you're a bird watcher, too.
Handfuls of companies have come out with GPS apps for phones and such, but give me a handheld rangefinder anytime, because you can't get distance on a tree, rock or other target with an app.
The top brands available in golf stores are Bushnell, which has models from $300 to $400, Leupold ($230-$400) and Callaway ($200-$350). Absolutely guaranteed, your golfer will not be disappointed with any of these.
A growing addition to these products are the GPS watches. They don't have the same capability as a point and shoot, but the convenience of staying on your wrist is a plus. Garmin ($250-$350) and Bushnell ($150) are among the top makers.
The practice tool
Our favorite practice tool we saw this season was the SKLZ Vari-Break custom putting green ($100). What makes this unique is that the putting carpet comes with wedges that are placed underneath to create various breaks. Because, really, how many flat, straight putts do you get? The carpet is big, too – 11 feet by 3 feet.
There's a bonus to buying something from San Diego-based SKLZ. If you use the SKLZ link on the San Diego Junior Golf website (sdjga.org), you get a 15 percent discount, and $15 percent of the commission goes back to SDJGA.
The headcover
I laughed out loud in the store when I saw the cartoonish Bubba Watson driver headcover by Daphne's ($30). This one is right out of the Golf Boyz videos -- the overalls, the mop of black hair, the purple visor. The only thing missing is Bubba's jungle of chest hair and the pout when he misses a shot. Our dog liked Bubba so much I had to bribe her to get him back.
The gadget
The Charter FlatBall practice discs ($7) could be a nice stocking stuffer. This was a new one to me. The package comes with six discs that are one-quarter inch thick. The theory is that if you can hit these in the middle of the clubface, you can better find the sweet spot on your real ball: no more chunks and sculls. This is one of those that falls under the category of: neat idea, if only it were that easy!
The gadget II
Tin Cup Golf (tin-cup.com) came up with a nice idea a few years ago for creating custom ball markings. You insert the ball into a half tin up with a stencil, then use marker to decorate the ball. They've come a long way in their variety since then, especially with university and custom logos, and even have a holiday pack of four cups ($95). Individual cups are $20.
The no-brainer
The JC Golf Players Card (jcgolf.com) remains the gift you don't have to think about or wonder is the right size or color. For $259 (Monday-Friday rounds) or $349 (seven days), golfers get five rounds at any JC courses, one round each at Temecula Creek and Reidy Creek, a free birthday round, and up to 53 percent savings on rounds for a year.
Gifts for women
Only you know the woman golfer in your life, but it's hard to imagine not finding something at The Ladies Pro Shop website (ladiespro.com). If all else fails, they even have the Bubba headcover.

Bruno Mars' 'Unorthodox' iHeartRadio Music Festival upgrade
Listen to Bruno Mars on iHeartRadio
Before Bruno Mars took the stage at the iHeartRadio Music Festival, he gave one lucky fan an extra special treasure.
LeeAnn from Salt Lake City, Utah won Bruno's iHeartRadio Music Festival grand prize, listening to KJMY-FM!
Not only did LeeAnn win a trip to watch Bruno at the festival in Las Vegas, but she got upgraded to watch him from a "gorilla"-sized suite, equipped with - as LeeAnn says - "everything you can imagine!"
But that's not all! LeeAnn got to hang out with Bruno before his performance, where he snapped a few pics with her, and gave her tickets to see his show in London!
Congratulations LeAnn! Say hi to Big Ben, and enjoy the concert!!

"Thundersleet" in Our Forecast
Just when you thought this winter couldn't get any worse---the National Weather Service has issued a warning for 'Thundersleet' tonight into tomorrow morning.
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory from 8 PM Monday to noon Tuesday. The forecast calls for freezing rain, and sleet.
"It may accumulate on roadways, especially elevated roads such as bridges and overpasses," the forecast said.
The forecast also warns of 'thundersleet,' in metro San Antonio tonight and tomorrow.
"Thundersleet' is defined as a 'rare weather pattern' which occurs when 'thunder and lightning occur at the same time as sleet or freezing rain.'
"Scientific American' says 'less than one percent of observed snowstorms unleash thundersleet.'
The forecast also was snow could occur on Tuesday morning. If a measurable amount of snow does fall, it would be the latest in the year that measurable snow has ever fallen on Bexar County.
Tuesday morning's commute is expected to include slippery roads, freezing bridge decks, and limited visibility.
And then, true to form, we'll be back into the seventies by Thursday.

Dear Families:
On September 11, 2002, at the moment the World Trade Center attacks began one year before, choirs in New Zealand started to sing Mozart's prayer for the dead and the dying – his Requiem. As they finished their tribute, choirs in the next time zone picked it up, adding their voices and circling the globe. Each musician and many audience members wore a badge over his or her heart bearing the name of one who perished.
Mozart's last and finest work rang out for 24 hours as 201 choirs in 28 countries and 48 American states opened their hearts and voices in commemoration. We called it the Rolling Requiem. It was the sole worldwide tribute on the first anniversary of the 9/11 tragedies.
Over 25,000 singers and musicians participated in this event, and many choirs sent us the heart badges worn by their members, so that we could pass them along to you. We plan to send these to you within the next few weeks. Because these are unique and cannot be replicated, we only have the capability to provide one envelope per family.
Notice to World Trade Center Families: If your family member was at the World Trade Center and you do not wish to receive the heart badges, please let us know, via email no later than Monday, September 1, 2003. The email address is http://email@example.com.
Notice to Pentagon and Flight 93 Families: If your family member was at the Pentagon or on Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, we need your mailing address. Please send it to http://firstname.lastname@example.com. We will only use your address to send you an envelope with the heart badges. After that, we will not share it with anyone. Instead, we will delete it from our system.
If you know have contact information with families of the Pentagon or Flight 93 tragedies, please tell us how to reach them. They may be able to help us connect with all of the families to let them know that we have heart badges for them.
It is our hope that you will find comfort in knowing that many, many people throughout the world mourned your loss and raised their voices in song one year ago. Many also shared their stories of hope and healing at our website, http://www.rollingrequiem.org. We invite you to visit it if you are moved to do so.
Madeline Johnson, Chairwoman for the Members of the Rolling Requiem Committee From Seattle, Washington

'Buffalo played its sixth game in 11 days, a difficult stretch leading up to the much-hyped Ralph Wilson Stadium game that will be played before an NHL-record crowd of 74,000-plus, and it showed. Right now, the Sabres need to win a game, indoors or outdoors.'

13 Hospitals Fined for Immediate Jeopardy Violations in CA
One patient died after a nasogastric feeding tube was inserted into his lung instead of his stomach in San Francisco, a tracheostomy patient died after being transported without a ventilator in San Jose, and a nurse's inability to recognize fetal distress resulted in the death of a full-term viable infant in Murrieta, the eighth such egregious event at that hospital in the last four years.
These are among 13 immediate jeopardy penalties totaling $825,000 levied against California hospitals Friday in the latest disciplinary actions in which acute care facilities caused or were likely to cause harm to patients, state officials said.
Of incidents that did not result in death, a morbidly obese woman who sought care in a San Diego ED and complained she "could not breathe" was not admitted to the hospital. Instead, she was escorted to a cab by personnel and instructed to go home. When she became combative, she was carried "upside down" to a bench and placed prone, suffering cardio-respiratory arrest.
In a hospital in Orange, a patient was injected with narcotics and then sexually assaulted by a nurse, a criminal offense.
"In issuing these administrative penalties, our goal at the Department of Public Health is to improve the quality of healthcare in all California hospitals," Debby Rogers, deputy director of the Center for Health Care Quality, said in a news briefing. She said that information on what led to these incidents "will be used to determine how the violations or deficiencies can be decreased or eliminated over time."
Several laws enacted since 2007 to make California's hospitals more accountable for safe care. They have resulted in 224 such penalties to 129 hospitals and $7.7 million in fines, Rogers said. Several hospitals have received three or more penalties and one hospital, Southwest Medical Center in Murrieta, now has eight, the most of any California hospital.
The fines amount to $25,000 for incidents occurring prior to 2009. After 2009, the fine increases to $50,000 for the first violation, $75,000 for the second and $100,000 for a third or subsequent violation at the same facility. All fines announced Friday resulted in investigations of incidents that occurred between 2009 and 2011.
Rogers said the delay in imposing these penalties so long after the events and their investigations occurred was due to "a very robust review process with our legal and survey teams to make sure the penalty is appropriate, and for some of the penalties, it's a long process."

'Rivet said Sabres goalie Patrick Lalime was one of the players closest to the site where the Continental flight from Newark, N.J., crashed. Lalime had just arrived home after picking up his brother-in-law from the Buffalo airport. "His brother-in-law was outside getting some bags out of the truck and saw the plane coming right at them," Rivet said. "He was like, 'I don't know if I'm supposed to turn or what I'm going to do.' The plane goes literally over his head and lands about 800 feet away at most."'

CARLSTADT, NJ -- Betson Enterprises said it has hired Steven Lamoreaux as an outside sales rep for the large Mountain States region.
"Steve is an experienced road salesman and we are excited to have him on board," said Jonathan Betti, vice-president of sales and business development of H. Betti Industries, Betson's parent company. Betti said Lamoreaux will have the full support of Betson's management team, which includes national sales director Joe Ingui, and its resources to "ensure current and future success" in the Interior West.
Betti added that Lamoreaux's sales and customer service background can help Betson expand its sales programs in the Mountain States. He most recently worked for Mountain Coin Machine Distributors, handling amusement and vending equipment sales in Utah, Idaho and western Wyoming.

By Jake Landers
Published February 2011
Coralberry is an attractive vine with bright red berries that I usually use in Thanksgiving and Christmas decorations, when I get around to it, and when it's been a good berry producing year. Often the vines on fences and in thickets provide only bright green leaves and no berries for decorations, but some years the berries put on quite a show.
Many years ago on the ranch I would bring in a colorful strand which Mom would use to decorate the fireplace mantle or the dining room dinner table. It was my job in those days to wander along the field fence and in the high-fenced Turkey Trap to look for unfamiliar plants, fancy rocks, arrowheads, wild animals, or just about anything. Buffalo gourds and Milkweed pods were occasionally brought in and usually rejected for decorations. But the red berries were well received.
When we arrived in San Angelo some years ago we bought a house that had been built on a recently vacated Mesquite pasture, the lot subsequently on Briargrove Lane south of Loop 306. Some native plants besides Coralberry had survived the construction on the lot including Deer apples, Angel's trumpets, Wild morning glory, and many weeds and grasses. I let the Coralberry continue to grow in a flower bed against the garage, hoping that I could grow my own decorations in a year or two. After 30 years, however, I gave up trying to grow berries, cleaned out the bed, and sprayed the sprouts with Round-up. Feeble attempts to control it several years earlier seemed to make it grow better, but no berries.
I have no idea how often it reproduces by seed. Seeds are probably important for establishment in Nature passing unharmed through a bird that eats the berries. It never produced seedlings in my flower bed, and there were plentiful sprouts from the roots, always. I discovered it had storage roots slightly smaller than a pencil often growing horizontally with smaller roots going deeper. Sprouts grew upward at short intervals bearing heart shaped leaves.
Seeds of Coralberry are shaped like a snail about the size of a BB. If you squeeze a berry the white seed is clearly snail-like. Another common name is Snailseed. The scientific name is Cocculus occidentalis, with the first word from Latin meaning coiled like a snail, and the second because it was first discovered in the east.
Reading The Landscape
What has happened to this tree along the highway in Menard County, Texas? Click here for my answer.
The only place I've seen Coralberry with abundant berries this year is on the chain-link fence of the Menard Manor in Menard, Texas. It was completely covering the shaded fence at the west entrance probably having been growing there since the fence was built in the early 1970's. Berries lasted uneaten until late December this year becoming very apparent as the leaves fell from the vines. The resident Mockingbirds have been slow in feasting on berries and spreading the seeds to other favorable spots.
This remarkable Live oak tree was blown over some years ago with half its roots exposed, but it has continued to live and send up sprouts from the upturned roots with very light, if any, browsing by goats in this pasture. —JL

A Loma Linda man has written a biography about his mother titled "The Nanjing Princess."
Leonard Pomfret spent 15 years taking the stories he heard from Kyung Pomfret's lips about her life in China during World War II, the Communist Party's rise to power, fleeing for Korea only to have a civil war split that country apart as well, and eventually settling in America.
She was a target in Japanese gun sights. She was beaten and abused by her own people. And she was put before a North Korean firing squad.
"People tell me her story could be a movie," Pomfret said. "It's a very explosive book."
Kyung Pomfret was born Feb. 10, 1935, in Nanjing, a city in eastern China.
She is a descendant of the Lian family, who the author said were advisers to Chinese emperors for centuries. Pomfret said his grandfather was an adviser to Chiang Kai-shek, the last president before the Communists took power in mainland China.
Her family ties also led her to meet world leaders including Mahatma Gandhi, and Kim Gu, who was the president of the Korean group fighting for independence from the Japanese in the early 20th century.
Pomfret wrote the story about his mother to let people know there is nothing they cannot overcome.
"She endured more than anyone could have endured, and she survived all of that," he said.
He said writing the book made him appreciate his mother even more.
The book was published in October, and Pomfret said it is getting positive feedback. A customer review from Amazon.com gives the book high praise.
"There was a lot of interesting history and I enjoyed the book even more, knowing (her)," wrote Jane Haines Lee. In her review, she gave it four stars out of five.
Kyung Pomfret is taking it all in stride.
"I never thought he would be able to finish it," she said, laughing. "I'm very proud of him."
She settled in Grand Terrace with her husband of more than 50 years, Jack Pomfret, who died of cancer early in 2012.
She has six children, 15 grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.
One lesson people can take away from her is to laugh at life.
"Why should I cry? I'd rather laugh," she said.

Mr. Oldfield was to write immediately if any fresh step was taken.
I am placed in rather an awkward position with regard to the Duke of Oldfield.
Mr. Maclagan intended going home, via Bombay, as soon as relieved by Captain Oldfield, and has embarked by this time.
"Dirt don't stick to you, Mr. Oldfield," once said a seeking widow.
He divided his fortune between his sister and his mistress, Mrs. Oldfield, and his son by the latter.
Major Oldfield, who commanded the marines of Theseus, was killed, with two of his men.
Mr. Oldfield, cited by Mr. Tylor for Australia, I have never quoted: his account cannot be uncontaminated.
Lady Oldfield sank on her knees, and could not repress her sobs.
It was true, then, as Oldfield said, that she could manufacture a perfect jewel before his eyes.
Never in the memory of Oldfield had there been a more delicious day.

Columnist Sowell called homosexuality "a deathstyle in the AIDS era"
In his December 31 nationally syndicated column [1], which the Washington Times published January 5 as a "Commentary" column [2], economist Thomas Sowell claimed that rather than marriage rights, what "homosexual activists" really desire is "the stamp of acceptance on homosexuality, as a means of spreading that lifestyle, which has become a deathstyle in the AIDS era."
Sowell continued: "They have already succeeded to a remarkable degree in our public schools, where so-called 'AIDS education' or other pious titles are put on programs that promote homosexuality."
He also wrote that homosexual activists have received "special privilege" through equal-rights claims because "[t]hey have already got far more government money earmarked for AIDS than for other diseases that kill far more people."
Contrary to Sowell's suggestion that AIDS exclusively afflicts homosexuals, the United States' AIDS epidemic has increasingly affected heterosexuals over the past 15 years, while the rate of HIV infection among homosexuals has declined, along with the overall infection rate. According to a study [3] ("HIV in the United States at the Turn of the Century: An Epidemic in Transition") published in the July 2001 American Journal of Public Health [4], the rates of HIV incidence among homosexual men had decreased during the 1990s, while the HIV/AIDS epidemic was at the same time increasingly affecting heterosexual men and women. According to the study:
The number of new AIDS diagnoses increased from 1990 through 1992, followed by a decline from 1993 through 1999.
Compared with [AIDS] diagnoses made during 1990, the proportion of all diagnoses made during 1999 was substantially smaller for Whites, MSM [men who have sex with men], and female IDUs [injection drug users]; the proportion was substantially larger for African Americans, residents of the South, and both men and women infected through heterosexual contact.

Man loses job over Twix stuck in vending machine
(NEWSER) – It's a story straight out of an episode of Seinfeld, just with an ending both more—and then less—satisfying. Last fall, a man from Spirit Lake, Iowa, decided he wanted to snack on a Twix while working his warehouse job at Polaris Industries. So Robert McKevitt inserted a dollar in the vending machine, punched in the code for the candy, and watched it get stuck midair on the spiral hook. He inserted another dollar in his quest to free it; no luck. He banged and shook the machine; ditto. And so, according to state unemployment records, he took a more extreme action: He drove an 8,000-pound forklift over, raised the machine two feet, then allegedly let it fall on the concrete floor—six times, reports the AP.

Students vie for $75,000 in Fuel Cell Challenge
By Steven Powell, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-1923
The USC-sponsored $75,000 Fuel Cell Challenge is looking for students with backgrounds in marketing, engineering, business and a range of other specialties to help industry commercialize hydrogen and fuel cell technologies.
The deadline for submitting a student proposal to earn a research grant is Oct. 22.
The USC-City of Columbia Fuel Cell Collaborative has invested nearly $5 million since 2006 in a variety of partnerships to accelerate the commercial use of hydrogen and fuel cells. In this year's Fuel Cell Challenge, interdisciplinary student teams can either address an industry challenge from a list submitted by participating companies, or they can offer their own innovation and request funding to bring it to fruition.
Industry partners have compiled nine distinct challenges from which student teams can choose. The topics for the "industry challenge" range from technically focused projects, such as the evaluation of fuel canisters for sodium borohydride for recycling, to business- and marketing-oriented challenges, such as the development of a demonstration plan for using fuel cells and other eco-friendly energy sources in the historic Waverly district of Columbia.
For teams with their own idea, the "innovation challenge" offers an alternative: make a case for your new technology or innovation, and you'll be rewarded with seed money to help get your idea off the ground.
The winning interdisciplinary student teams, with faculty advisors, will work together over the spring 2013 semester and make a final presentation in May.
Full details can be found at this website.
The Fuel Cell Challenge is provided by a partnership that includes USC's College of Engineering and Computing, College of Arts and Sciences, Darla Moore School of Business and Office of Technology Commercialization, as well as the USC-Columbia Technology Incubator, Innovista at USC, EngenuitySC and SC Launch.

Student News
Washington State has many ways for students to get the news and information they need, both on campus and off. Washington State's Collage is a weekly newsletter posted in the public restrooms around campus. Using small news articles and quick information guides, Collage is the prefect way to reach the students when they get a break.
The Student OnCampus is a monthly electronic newsletter sent to all students on campus through their e-mail. The Student OnCampus normally holds an entire month's worth of information along with previews of the up coming events.
Both of these resources and a few others can be found by following the links below.

I have not had a problem with connection with bt2f.
But to disable a network card of yours just type, for example:
Code:ifconfig eth2 down
Has anyone found their internet connection speed slow in bt2. Compared to windows on the same machine it is extremely slow! I have also tried xubuntu live cd and the speed was fine.
I am running two network cards on two different networks with different gateways/router/dns. I have not yet found out where to disable one of the network cards but I found that simply unplugging one card made the connection faster (although still much slower than native windows).
Could this be a dns problem? I noticed when both cards were up that I could change the ip settings and default gateways for each individually but the dns settings persisted across both cards.
I have not had a problem with connection with bt2f.
But to disable a network card of yours just type, for example:
Code:ifconfig eth2 down
Cheers, I will look up that command for more info. I am reading through the Slackware book to get up to scratch but find that playing on the computer is more fun than reading!!
Another silly question - how do you exit a man page?? I have to close the console and open it back up again!!
just hit the letter Q to quit the man pages in a shell.
I shutdown the second network card and the internet connection speed is back up to normal speed. It must be dns issue. If anyone knows where I can set the dns for each card separately I would be interested to find out.

Don't fear the beard
Registration is now open for SCALE 9X — register now by clicking on the winking penguin.
During the 2010 baseball season, the San Francisco Giants — the World Series Champion San Francisco Giants (yours truly never tires of saying that) — had a slogan, "Fear the Beard." Most of the pitching staff — relievers and closer Brian Wilson specifically — were bearded pitching machines mowing down opposing batters.
Historically speaking, the tech realm and beards have never been too far apart, at least for the men. As such, there are some in the FOSS realm who deserve special recognition for not only advancing free/open source software, but also for forsaking the razor and putting a hairy face forward.
This blog item deals with beards specifically, so those with FOSS's most awesome goatees — like Red Hat's Karsten Wade, freelance FOSS journalist Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier and Oregon State University Professor Carlos Jensen, all of whom would definitely get top honors in this category — aren't included here. Sorry, guys. Same with moustaches: For example, Mark Terranova's 'stache belongs in any facial hair Hall of Fame; a piece of work that would easily get him membership in The Village People — and I mean that in a good way (however, truth be told, when he's got a beard, Mark runs with the best of 'em).
Here is a sampling of what I find are the best beards in FOSS, in no particular order other than to say that if anyone got a first prize, it would have to go to . . .
Jon 'maddog' Hall: Despite getting a lot of input from those who think Richard Stallman should get top billing, sorry, RMS: Maddog takes the prize as the FOSS advocate with historically the best beard in the realm, to which picture at right will attest. Or you could look up Father Christmas in the dictionary and, chances are, you'll find maddog's picture with the definition. Despite recently going for the Sean-Connery-as-Indiana-Jones'-Dad look (see next paragraph) to go along with the 70 or so pounds he dropped — a great thing, indeed — Hall's beard has always been the standard of epic in the FOSS beard pantheon.
[Maddog, shown at left in his new closer cropped form, comments in response to an e-mail: "And for beards, I could NEVER understand why someone would want to put a very sharp instrument close to their throat when they are only partially awake. I have not shaved since 1969 . . . ." Also, to the youngsters out there, maddog has a message: "I am glad that you are twenty . . . I enjoy seeing your youthful energy and beauty, and some days when I wake up and I am stiff, I wish I was twenty again . . . but I only wish that for about fifteen minutes." Amen to that!]
Richard Stallman: Most people I've talked to about this have said, after they stopped laughing at the topic ("No, really, I'm writing on the BEARDS of FOSS . . ."), that RMS should have the top spot, and in lieu of Jon 'maddog' Hall's change in appearance, they might be right. The bearded face that launched a thousand tools to make the Linux kernel run, and launched a free software movement to boot, has been the one most commonly associated with free-as-in-freedom software. Not only this, he also sidelines as a saint — if you've never seen the St. Ig-GNU-tius schtick, check it out. I first saw this several years ago when Stallman spoke at UC Berkeley, and it never gets old despite being bearded (and I mean that in a good way).
Timothy Budd: If you are now, or have been, a student of computer science at a university, there's a chance you may have had a class with a textbook Timothy Budd had written. An associate professor of computer science at Oregon State University — Go Beavers! — Tim has written a dozen textbooks on object-oriented programming, data structures and Leda, a multi-paradigm programming language that yours truly admits to not understanding at all. Be that as it may, Tim's advocacy for FOSS during his time at OSU — he has had me as well as others speak to his graduate classes on FOSS — and his healthy crop of hair on his chin garners him a spot on the list. Besides, since he is well known by his students for his use of the term "Administrivia," he gets on the list by simple use of that bearded word alone.
Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols: Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols' beard is one that most FOSS users and advocates are accustomed to seeing on a nearly daily basis when reading the latest developments in Free/Open Source Software news. Whenever there's news to be delivered, the FOSS community can count on Steven being the one who brings it to us; not only this, usually Steven is first with the news, which should garner him the nickname "Scoop." Now writing for ZDNet as well, Steven gets what is rightfully more exposure in writing news that's important to us — and to everyone else, for that matter. Steven gets extra points for being a Asheville Tourists fan — the Tourists being one of the most unique mascot names for a baseball team in the country.
Me: In an unprecedented display of unabashed ego worthy of another Larry — the CEO of Oracle whom, incidentally, has what's trying to be a beard on his face, but not doing a very good job of it (but I digress) — I like to think that my beard would rank up there among bearded FOSS titans, not because of any accomplishment of my own — OK, the Lindependence Project . . . maybe — but just by the mere fact that it grows, with Wolfman-like speed, on my face. Herein lies the story: I'm a werewolf. Just kidding — I grew first grew my beard after Jerry Garcia died in Jerry's honor, but my family hated it. So I went back and forth between having it and not having it until making a pact with my family: Even-numbered years, a moustache; odd-numbered years, the beard.
I've missed a lot of people, which is where you come in: Who did I miss and why is should their beard be in the FOSS Hairy-Faced Hall of Fame?

You're asking about arch linux in BackTrack Forum, which is based on Ubuntu (if I understand you correct?)
I honestly believe that https://bbs.archlinux.org/ is a better place to ask for help.
Hello, I am an IT security student new to arch. I am currently trying to set up my Alfa AWUS051NH usb wireless adapter with my arch desktop. I have it running somewhat, but not at the speeds I would like. I found on alfa's website that the device can either use chipsets: Ralink RT2770, or RT2750. I thought an iwconfig would tell me what chipset the device was using, but apparently not.
So I did a lsusb and got:
I look at an iwconfig and see it changes from bit 5-150mbps at any given time.Code:Bus 001 Device 002: ID 148f:2770 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2770 Wireless Adapter
However it is going much slow than that. I would like to know how I can set the bit rate 300mbps. After a bit of research I tried this:Code:wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"Sentinel" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: C0:3F:0E:2C:57:4E Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:on Link Quality=70/70 Signal level=-28 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:3479 Invalid misc:8 Missed beacon:0
&Code:iwconfig wlan0 rate 300
But neither have any effect. I believe the issue is that the card can use a/b/g/n standards and is not using 802.11n, which I believe is the only one that can use 300mbps. My router is broadcasting in 802.11n by the way. I don't know how to force the device to use the 802.11n.Code:iwconfig wlan0 rate auto
So does any one have any ideas, and can answer some of my questions? I would very much appreciate it. If any commands are needed to be run for more information I would be glad to do so.

You will also need to understand channel bonding configurations for your AP/router. If you want to force 11n, turn off everything else and see what happens, then work backwards. Do some real research on configuring channel bonding. If you do it wrong you will end up interferring with everybody elses signal in your area. The other thing about channel bonding is that unless you have a reasonably clear spectrum, performance will be no where near what you expect.
