You want to be a pentester? IMHO, you need to learn as a basic set of skills, the following:Where can i go to learn the basics, like basic networking
Linux and Windows to a system admin level.
Network Devices, their functions and some basic commands of these.
Popular applications and how to configure/set them up (web, dns, mail etc...)
Once you've gathered that information, then start with the computer security portion of your education: How to secure various O/S's, understand access control lists, firewall rules (i.e. iptables), understand various threats against each O/S and network devices, and various popular applications. A basic knowledge of packet analysis is very useful at this stage as is basic scripting languages such as VB, bash, perl, python or ruby.
Then once you have a knowledge of those concepts, you can apply that knowledge to testing these systems and devices as to whether they are secure or not.
I have been told the offensive security courses are very good. I would not take them until I got to this last stage (application of knowledge), that way you would get the most for your time and money.
Luckily, the internet has most of the pre-requisite information for free!
As a start, IBM has a "redbook" site that contains in-depth information about various protocols and configurations. I would recommend the redbook on TCP/IP to start your education on TCP/IP and networking. The link is HERE
For networking devices, Cisco has detailed documentation all over their site on their various products.
You seem to have the basic equipment at your disposal, so I would recommend you start reading and practicing. There are tutorials and howto's all over the net. Start at step 1: "how to configure X" before you jump to Step 3: "pentest X"
Good luck, it's a great journey if you are willing to dedicate the time.

It didn't take long Wednesday night for Stephen Curry to put his stamp on Golden State's 94-83 win over the Jazz
Would you believe 144 seconds?
Curry scored nine of his 23 points in the first 2:24 at EnergySolutions, where the Warriors crushed Utah.
Curry followed back-to-back 3-pointers with three free throws, which gave Golden State a 9-4 lead.
The Warriors never looked back, improving their record to 19-10 overall and 11-6 on the road.
Golden State was coming off a 118-115 overtime loss to the L.A. Lakers last Saturday.
"It's a big road win for us," Curry said, "especially the way we finished the game against the Lakers. We were on a mission to come out and play well and keep our road swag [going]. Everybody stepped up, played a physical game and did what we had to do to get the job done."
Along with his scoring, Curry contributed eight rebounds and seven assists against a team that selected his father, Dell, in the first round of the 1986 NBA Draft.
"We obviously know they play well at home and feed off the crowd," Curry said. "And they play hard for 48 minutes. But we do the same. ... We wanted to start off and not let them get any momentum so the crowd would stay out of it as much as possible."
Mission accomplished.
Jazz fans started leaving the arena at the end of the third quarter, when the Warriors owned a 75-58 lead.
"It was a great team effort," coach Mark Jackson said. "We defended ... and we paid attention to detail."
According to Jackson, the key to beating Utah was "making shots."
The Warriors were 9 for 18 on 3-pointers and missed only one of their 20 free throws.
Said Jackson: "Our guys did a great job following the game plan, taking care of the basketball and not allowing them to dominate the paint and the boards."
David Lee finished with 18 points and nine rebounds for Golden State.
"I think, physically, we outcompeted those guys," he said. "Steph, obviously, had an unbelievable game. I just thought we did a very good job of closing them out when we had a lead."

Antonia Bird passed away yesterday at the age of 54.
I don't know how many film buffs out there will recognize her name. The IMDb indicates that she had been working pretty steadily since 1985, but mostly in TV; her feature-film output was limited to four films she directed in the 1990s, and of those, I have only seen two: Priest (1994) and Ravenous (1999).
But Priest looms large in my mind as a film that I got to review at a particular crucial juncture in my life — and so, although my review is fairly critical of the film, I have posted it here in memory of its director.
A bit of background, if I may: In the summer of 1992, I had begun to contribute film reviews on a regular basis to the paper that became known as BC Christian News. Around that same time, I had also begun to seriously re-examine my beliefs about, well, just about everything — starting with sexuality, thanks to a special issue of Discover magazine that kind of blew my mind.

The purpose of placing cake layers on cooling racks or grids is to allow air circulation completely around the cake. If the warm layer is placed on a solid surface (which either waxed or parchment paper would be on a cooling rack), moisture from the cake would build up on that surface, causing the cake to become damp and mushy. It most likely would stick to both the waxed paper and parchment paper.

With two kneading paddles and a unique single-rise cycle, this is the bread maker that bakes moist and fluffy gluten-free bread. Sparing bread-lovers from the leaden or rubbery texture that often spoils gluten-free baked goods, the appliance's double paddles ensure enough air is incorporated into the dough to yield a light texture. While traditional bread machines subject delicate gluten-free recipes to a deflating second rise, this bread maker requires only a single rising period to produce a fluffy 2-lb. loaf. A vented lid allows steam to escape—critical for baking crisp gluten-free crusts—and a beep alerts bakers to scrape any flour off the paddles. The paddles and pan have a non-stick coating and the device's settings are easy to read on an LCD screen. Comes with 10 gluten-free recipes and instructional DVD. Also prepares traditional wheat flour breads. Plugs into AC. 18" L x 12 3/4" H x 10 1/2" D. (23 lbs.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Gluten Free Bread Maker 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.

Great to Have Fresh Bread Again!
By Mom of 2 Celiac Sons
from McMinnville, OR
I did quite a bit of research before this purchase as it is my first bread maker. This model was most recommended and I liked having the lifetime warranty from Hammacher Schlemmer. So far I have only made Bob's Red Mill gluten free bread and banana bread. My son with celiac disease was thrilled with both. Light, fluffier bread than store bought. Easy to slice and normal size loaf! If only it made bagels!

Bread Maker
By Fran -hate to cook
from Redlands, CA
I had a bread maker but it made small heavy loaves Not the worst I ever tasted but when I got this one - I found it had 2 paddles which mixes the bread much better and makes larger lighter loaves and are better tasting than any of the "store bought" including sheepherders which used to be our favorite. Best yet - no preservatives - just slice and put in freezer for the next fresh piece.It is easy to clean and the loaves just slip out when done instead of ripping the bread apart.

Gluten Free Bread Maker
By Stampnut
from Watertown, Wisconsin
I am very happy with the bread maker, although a bit large, it makes a great loaf of bread. I used my previous machine only to mix the bread, but this one bakes it beautifully. It also has more features than expected! Being able to make meatloaf and/or jam in the machine was a real surprise.

Priest indicted for felony soliciting
(Cleveland) - A local priest has now been formally charged with felony soliciting, abusing harmful intoxicants and public indecency.
68-year-old Father James McGonegal was arrested October 11 at Edgewater Park after an off-duty park ranger says the priest offered him $50 for sex. The indicment was released Friday afternoon.
McGonegal was a priest from St. Ignatius of Antioch and told police during his arrest that he's HIV positive.
The Catholic Diocese of Cleveland says that McGonegal has since "stepped away from his duties" at St. Ignatius of Antioch parish to "attend to his personal matters." McGonegal has been a priest since 1971.
Police report that three sexual objects were discovered in his car, along with a bottle of intoxicant.

LONG BEACH - Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe delivered a message of caution and hope Thursday.
Kicking off his fifth and final term as a county supervisor, Knabe delivered his sixth annual State of the County address to a packed house at the Grand Ballroom of the Long Beach Convention Center.
His serious message about what he said are delicate and precarious times with the ominous approach toward the so-called fiscal cliff was interspersed with his homestyle wit and charm.
The speech was short on specifics, policy goals and challenges for the county, as well as the gravitas often expected in such addresses.
It was spiced with a collection of slide shows that featured accomplishments in the county and, of course, funny pictures of Knabe.
However, when the supervisor looked at the national political picture, he was plenty serious.
As the country creeps closer to the fiscal cliff, a popular term for scheduled $1.2 trillion cuts in spending and a widespread tax increase that could begin Jan. 1 if Congress is unable to make a deal, Knabe said "we (in government) still have to do our jobs."
And primary in that, Knabe said, is "serving as the ultimate safety net for the people who need it most."
Knabe, whose 4th District includes nearly 30 cities stretching from El Segundo to Long Beach along the coast and east to Diamond Bar, said "America has spoken and it has said, `Enough of the bickering, fix our economy. We need to get people back to work."'
Knabe said most economists agree that the fiscal cliff could plunge the country back into recession and higher unemployment.
"If Congress and the president don't figure it out, it's going to be a very unpleasant new year," Knabe said.
Quoting Ronald Reagan, Knabe said, "There are no easy answers, but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what is morally right."
Pivoting away from the national picture, Knabe turned his attention to local issues. It was, after all, a state of the county report.
His three main topics were "responsible budgeting," "customer service" and "our people."
Speaking about the county's budgeting, Knabe touted recent news that Standard and Poor's had upgraded the county's credit rating to AA.
"This is virtually unheard of - a government credit rating going up," Knabe said.
Even with fiscal prudence, the supervisor boasted that his district had been able to award $4 million in park improvements in many areas.
Knabe said one of his main areas of focus in the near future will be to finally build transit links to Los Angeles International Airport as well as the Long Beach and Burbank airports.
"It's embarrassing that the second-largest city in America with the third-busiest airport still does not have a direct transit connection," he said.
Knabe closed his talk by praising several unsung heroes. These included Karen Fuqua and Arecelia Torres, two women who teach incarcerated youth, and Michelle Guymon and Hania Cardenas, who have spearheaded efforts to battle child trafficking in the county.
One project particularly dear to Knabe through the years has been the Safe Surrender program, which allows mothers to surrender their newborn children, no questions asked.
In addition to praising the families that eventually take and raise the children, Knabe said he wanted to recognize, "the honor and courage of moms who do the right things and turn over babies."

A girl I know just got a rabbit at FOUR weeks of age!
The HRS webpage says its unlawful to remove the babies before they are 8 weeks old. (http://www.rabbit.org/care/babies.html)
I assume she bought the rabbit from a pet store but shes being really funny about answering my questions.
Is there anything I can do to ensure this place isnt giving out more baby buns at less than 8 wks of age?
Well, i really do think she got it at a pet store and when i told her my concern over her age i also told her if she had any bunny questions to let me know. When I got my first bun 4yrs ago i would have loved it if someone had offered to answer questions when i needed it. She just refused to answer my question about where she got it.
What really worries me is we went to a petstore over the weekend to buy one of those small animal balls that animals run in for our hedgehogs and they had bunnies.
There was an adorable gray mini-rex and he was so tiny. My mini rex was 9wks old when we brought her home and this one was a perfect mini rex and was way too small to be that age. So im worried that this is a new thing they are doing-selling them before they should be.
I guess I was ignorant enough to think they they all followed the rules on the age limit. That has got to be so traumatizing to the animals.
When I was a kid we were given a kitten from someone who got it and didnt want it. It was taken from its mom and i swear that cat was so strange! You could tell it has some serious issues and my mom always said it was from being taken too young from its mom.

Co-producing Video Diaries: The Presence of the "Absent" Researcher
Video diaries are said to provide a more "direct" understanding of participants' experiences than is afforded by data that are "controlled" by the researcher. In this article, the author problematizes this viewpoint and argues that personal video accounts are socially located constructions that are produced in response to a specific research context. Using examples from research that examines identity with young men who have severe physical impairments, she illustrates these effects and the role of the researcher in co-producing video accounts. Rather than viewing this as problematic, she suggests that examining how participants construct their video accounts as situated research participants provides a valuable source of analyzable data. The author outlines a method for interrogating video accounts that builds on these foundational assumptions.

"Les Miserables" Cast Drops By "Today"
With just two weeks until their film hits theaters, the cast of "Les Miserables" paid a visit to the "Today" show for a fun-filled chat this morning (December 10).
Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Sacha Baron Cohen, Eddie Redmayne, Samantha Barks, Isabelle Allen, and director Tom Hooper all gathered at Rockefeller Center to chat about their much-anticipated movie.
Hooper noted, "Les Miserables is so close to so many people's hearts so to get the opportunity to bring it to the big screen and to give people that emotional journey on the big screen was amazing. And with this cast, with this run of actors it was a dream."
And though she had experience with a musical-style production in "Mama Mia," Amanda was still intimidated by the gig. "I had no confidence. It was so different, two different worlds. The stamina was the biggest issue."
Enjoy the pictures of the cast of "Les Mis" at the "Today Show" in New York City (December 10).

Journey: The act of traveling from one place to another; a trip. In his latest book, "Journeys", Allan Lockyer, Francis Marion University professor of geography and the Neal D. Thigpen Professor of Public Affairs, gives readers a tour of his life's journey.
Why do we travel? Why do we leave the comfort and security of home and the familiarity of people and places we know? Lockyer has been pondering those questions since 1969, when he left Steuben, Maine on a 350cc Yamaha motorbike for an 1,800-mile journey to college in Arkansas. An introverted homebody and most reluctant traveler, Lockyer eventually became a geographer with a discerning eye for landscapes and people.
Whether in Maine, Mexico or places in between, he seems happiest in seedy backwaters that tourists avoid, where mangy street dogs frolic in his path, and modernity has yet to arrive. "Journeys" moves through time, experience and place, ultimately arriving at a surprisingly optimistic view of the world we inhabit.
"Allan is our Department's most prolific author, and he writes with such ease," said David White, chair of the political science and geography department at FMU. "As you read his stories, you don't immediately realize just how much you are learning about different places, people and cultures."
The Reluctant Traveler: Passage Through the Troubled Heartland by Mexican Bus, the longest of the journeys, is based on journals kept during 15 trips to Mexico between 1981-2003.
There is also an attention-grabbing essay about Carroll Terrell, Lockyer's first publisher, who was Stephen King's faculty advisor at the University of Maine in the 1960s.
Much like "Journeys", Lockyer's second book "Imagining Maine" is an eclectic mix of essays and stories written over the past decade and a half. Many of the essays are collected from "The Downeast Coastal Press," a weekly newspaper in Cutler, Maine, that Lockyer has written for since 1988. Since 1973, Lockyer has spent his summers in a rustic camp on Jones Pond in West Gouldsboro, Maine.
Lockyer is also the author of "Clamdiggers and Downeast Country Stores: Eastern Maine's Vanishing Culture," which placed sixth on the Maine Writers and Publishers Bestseller List in 1994 and "Beauty and Decay: A Humanistic Geography of the Other State of Maine." He also wrote, "Imagining Maine: Essays and Stories."
He received a bachelor's degree from Southern Arkansas University, a master's degree from Western Kentucky University, and a doctorate from the University of Northern Colorado. He has been a professor at FMU since 1986.
"Journeys" is published by Berry Cove Publishing Co. of Lamoine, Maine. It retails for $17.95 and is 312 pages, including references.

Determining the day of ovulation
I am trying to conceive for more than 2 years. I have never tried to plan intercourse according the ovulation. My sister told that it is the best thing to do in order to increase your chances of getting pregnant. I am interested what is the best way to determine the exact day of ovulation, taking ovulation tests? or is it more accurate to do an ultrasound every day?
Please tell me your experience of how you were determining the exact day of ovulation.
Thanks a lot in advance,

Using ovulation tests can be quite helpful in determining when you are ovulating. I find them to be most helpful when used in combination with watching my personal signs of fertility.

Storytelling for business success stories are usually confined to large corporations who can afford multi-media applications. Small business seems to get ignored. Yet, for small business, the principles are the same, and the the concept is just as important.
This article by Megan Hannay of the Content Marketing Institute, is one of the few I've come across that zero's in on business storytelling for small businesses. In it Megan states, "especially for small, family business, telling the story of the people, their motivations, and their journey is intrinsically interesting." Additionally, she provides some great questions that any business owner should answer while constructing their brand story.
Every brand tells a story, accidently or on purpose. This article provides some great tips on how to tell the "on purpose" kind.

For better #media interviews, I recommend reading Lou Hoffman's post on how journalists approach them. Excellent tips here, including silence (as both interviewer and interviewee) from Sam Whitmore. In fact, these insights are relevant for all kinds of conversations, not just #PR. #storytelling
Lianne Picot's curator insight, September 23, 2015 9:45 PM
Yep. It's all about the listening when it comes to telling good stories. Whether it's for PR or leadership, being able to listen to others before you tell their story or choose an appropriate one of your own is absolutely crucial. Otherwise, as is pointed out in the article, you'll miss the mark and come up with cabbage.

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
This Irish pub has lots going for it, with full-bodied beers like Guinness on tap and a full menu with comfort food like shepherd's pie. Drink enough pints while sitting in one of its dark corners and you might actually feel like you're visiting the Emerald Isle. But the real action is outside, on Waxy's covered front patio, where yachties — the captains and crews of those multi-million-dollar floating exuberances — hang when ashore. Why Waxy's? It's just always been that way, since the place opened in 1997. Its proximity to Port Everglades and several large marinas likely helps draw the international boat-hand crowd. Rugby and football matches on the telly help, too. And the breezy front porch is sailor heaven.
The lobby bar at the Ritz Carlton in Manalapan serves a delicious little plate of olives with its dry Sapphire martinis. There's so many of them, and they pair so satisfyingly with the cold gin and the light streaming in from the beach, that you can't help but have another drink. And then you're doomed. What to do? You don't want to go to Florida Stage, which is just across the street — it's very uncool to pass out in the middle of serious theater. And nearby Sushi Bon, though delightful, is probably not an option, as even good sushi can make drunk people yak. Anyway, you've just spent plenty of money. So why not just... walk? We recommend heading north. In just a mile or two, you'll see some extraordinary things. Just recently, we spied Ann Coulter standing outside of what was presumably her house, watching as a cute young valet from a nearby country club parked a car. Even if Ann's out of town on one of her peerlessly illuminating book tours, you might catch Rod Stewart weeding his lawn, Rush Limbaugh grazing in his, or Henry Paulson sitting glumly on his front porch, wondering how it all went so wrong.
The taxidermy foxes have seen better days. Their fur is matted and thinning in areas, but the artist captured them in that moment of frisky scuttling — just before some Brit shot them both full of lead. You can't help but make up stories like that about these furry scamps while knocking back pints of lager at the Fox and Hound. After all, their eyes stare at you — one pair from the fox on the bar and the other from the fox high up in a picture box on the wall. You suspect they used to wear monocles, or perhaps top hats. Surely they carried pocket watches and spoke with refined British accents that bordered on purring. Sometimes, around the holidays, the bar fox is decorated with a tiny Santa hat: That's got to piss off the fox on the wall, on top of the fact that the bar fox is already closer to the packets of crisps. Taxidermy décor does more than make us feel classy when we hang at the Fox and Hound; it makes us wonder. And for that, we're thankful.
There are two things you cannot school Kilmo on: playing the bass and cooking great bar food. Alligator Alley is Kilmo's joint, and it's his knack for combining freely flowing live music with a southern/Cajun menu that keeps us stopping in for dinner year after year. Ideal bar food must be absorbent, and the Alley has the best selection of fried in town. Kilmo uses a secret batter, but there have been less sober moments late in the night when he's dropped a few clues to its components: buttermilk, specially seasoned breadcrumbs, and "love." Check out their shrimp po' boy: this generous hoagie overflows with shredded lettuce, breaded and deep fried tiger shrimp, and remoulade sauce. It's enough to make Atkins quiver in terror and us squeal in delight. The rest of the menu offers fried gator, fried oysters, gumbo, ribs, and more. Everything is great. To eat a bad dish at this bar, you'd have to phone in an order to another restaurant and have it delivered.UPDATE: This location is now closed.
Some smokers like to sit in a dense fog while they imbibe cocktails, absorbing just as much second-hand smoke as they do first-hand. But others, the more enlightened smokers, prefer to toke outdoors. And in the warm South Florida clime, that should spell out lots of options. Except that a surprisingly large number of bars here are hidden inside shopping centers. Then there's Anglesea — which looks like a funky little fishing shack and boasts a relaxed vibe to match. Technically you can't smoke at the bar inside Anglesea Pub. But hardly anyone sits at the actual bar anyhow. That's because the outdoor covered deck, and a few picnic tables near the canal, are where the action (and the occasional breeze) is at.
A room full of beer-swilling pirates swaying to loud AC/DC near the beach would be the best place to take the cool guests you're hosting — that is, folks you want to get drunk with, and set to reminiscing, not people you need to impress. This would be true even if the Pirate Republic were nothing more than a laidback bar across the street from the beach with cheap beer and good-looking girls. But it's a little more than that. Take the décor: Its walls are covered with pirate paraphernalia – skulls, planks, and more black flags than a Henry Rollins scrapbook. Plus, there's a store next door that sells mementoe ss, including "I want your booty" panties and life-size pirate dolls.

Boston Marathon bombing victims' tragedy turns to joy
A 39-year-old spectator wounded in the Boston Marathon bombings hoped only that she and her boyfriend would survive the tragedy whole. Instead, the couple, who had been trying to conceive since the fall, learned they'd also be having a baby.
The story, reported by the Boston Globe, explains that Caroline Reinsch was being treated for a puncture wound that "punched a bloody hole in her thigh all the way to the femur, splitting the quad muscle" when the X-ray technician at Boston's Faulkner Hospital asked, "Is there a possibility you're pregnant?"
"Possibly," said Reinsch. "But probably not." Unbeknownst to her, the Globe reports, she was given a pregnancy test.
Reinsch's 42-year-old boyfriend, Christian Williams, who had been taken to a different hospital, had his "legs and right hand ... ripped open" while watching the marathon with Reinsch when the first bomb exploded on Boylston Street. They were reunited 11 days later at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital, where doctors were still trying to save his leg.
"I could have lost my legs, my hand, my life, or even worse, the life of someone I love," Williams, who had three rounds of surgeries so far, wrote in a message to friends posted to Facebook on April 21. "But I did not. Few men are given a chance in life to see how lucky they are. That moment has come and I can see. I am one of the luckiest men alive."
He got luckier. According to the Globe, when Reinsch was going over her discharge records with her regular doctor, he informed her that a pregnancy test at Faulkner revealed a "slight positive." He suggested taking a home pregnancy test. She did, and it was positive.
She did not believe the news. The Globe reports: "How could she get her hopes up when every part of her felt exhausted, when she had to spend 20 hours a day in the brace and the other four locked into a torturous stretching device, and when Christian was so badly hurt?"
Five days later, Reinsch took another pregnancy test while visiting Williams in the hospital. Positive again.
From the Globe:
She wept for a long moment in the sterile fluorescent light. Then she composed herself, went to sit in a chair by her boyfriend's bed and leaned gently against him. Each time she visited him so far, she had brought him magazines or food. Today she appeared to come empty-handed. Then she reached into the pocket of her skirt. "I have something for you," she said, drawing out the plastic stick.
"Any pain or suffering I felt has been replaced with joy," Williams told the newspaper. "Discovering that I was going to be a father is how I'll always remember the Marathon."
The couple waited until Father's Day (and Williams' 42nd birthday) to reveal her pregnancy.
"They wanted it to be a surprise, a gift to their families from amid the horror and suffering of April 15," the Globe said.

The question is which Netbook/Laptot not ?Best Netbook/Laptot For BT3?
Have any remote-exploit users got any experiance with the netbook Advent 4213:
Quick overview=
The 4213 has all the features of other Netbooks, but with the added benefit of an embedded sim, so connects to mobile broadband without the need for a dongle. The Ultimate mobile broadband solution!
* Intel Atom N270Processor - Energy efficient
* (1.6GHz, 533MHz FSB, 512MB cache)
* Genuine Windows(R) XP Home
* Memory & storage - 1GB Memory & 160GB HDD

Item i am considering due to "sales"
It seems i may be able to get one free with a Mobile broadband contract and on paper it seems ideal for BT - but i just wonder if anyone has experiance with these netbooks and whether BT can disable the battery mode on the atom processor
I have now the proud owner of the above mentioned device and i can tell you its not ideal for BT. BT boots into VESA KDE and Command line only [I will have another play later on with drivers] And it fails to recognise the wireless card internally. Its no biggy as i got it for free but everything else is recognised Now all i need to do is find a connection manager for the Internal HSDPA Card which runs in Slax and i am laughing Kitbags
Its kinda cute and very portable - i did notice the touchpad feels flimsy and the keys are quite close so typing fast = errors galore.
Still - its better than my Samsung Q1
Found a guide so i will be stripping and replacing the wireless card as soon as i get a spare minute to myself:
Has anyone information about the Lenovo netbooks? For example about the ideapad s9 or even s10?
I didn't find anything about the built-in wifi card's chipset...

LYNNWOOD — A man shot by police Wednesday night near Martha Lake may have been lobbing fireworks at deputies before the shooting, according to a recording of police radio traffic.
Killed was a Lynnwood man, 46. His identity was not released Thursday. Three Snohomish County sheriff's deputies have been placed on leave in connection with the shooting.
The deputies were in the Martha Lake area about 7 p.m. investigating a report that the man was violating a court order, said Aaron Snell, a spokesman for the Snohomish County Multiple Agency Response Team.
Deputies found the man at a home in the 15200 block of Meadow Road, just north of the lake.
"During a confrontation, shots were fired and the suspect was hit," Snell said. No officers were injured.
The man was rushed to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where he died.
The man's body was expected to be taken to the Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office, which will conduct an autopsy.
Police on Thursday did not confirm whether fireworks were involved.
Deputies on the dispatch recording reported the man had refused to come out of a trailer and was launching multiple fireworks at the cops, including bottle rockets. Deputies also discussed having dealt with the man before, and that he may have had mental health issues.
He apparently was shot in the driveway of the home. So far, police have not said whether the man was armed.
The deputies involved have been on the force five years, six years and 14 years, Snell said.
The SMART team, made up of homicide detectives from around the county, is investigating.
The death was the first fatal police shooting in the county since September, when a man living along Jim Creek Road near Arlington opened fire on deputies.
Herald reporter Scott North contributed to this story.

CLEVELAND (AP) — The niece of a Cleveland man convicted of killing 11 women has testified that he began sexually assaulting her when she was 10 and he was 11.
The 50-year-old woman remained composed as she testified Tuesday about what she said was years of near daily sexual abuse at the hands of Anthony Sowell (SOH'-wehl). She says that after Sowell began abusing her, an older brother and uncle did likewise.
The niece testified for the defense during the sentencing phase of Sowell's trial and apparently was meant to highlight Sowell's troubled childhood.
The same jury that last month found the 51-year-old defendant guilty of aggravated murder and other charges must now decide whether to recommend the death penalty or life in prison without parole.

A problem that has faced military tacticians throughout history is how to effectively move men and equipment to areas of conflict. When Gen. Zachary Taylor became commander of the forces fighting the Seminole Indians in the Territory of Florida in 1838, he quickly devised a scheme to facilitate a more rapid response to emergency situations.

Building Your Own PC
Are you ready for another lesson on building your very own computer? I hope you enjoyed what we went over yesterday. Today we're going to dive into even more, so let's get started. You're going to love it, I promise!
Part 3
There are hundreds of brands and thousands of choices! How are you to ever know which one is right for you?
In the first part of this series, you were introduced to a motherboard. Each and every motherboard is typically the same in layout and design, thanks to what we call "form factors." Motherboard and computer case manufacturers all decided to get together and design motherboards all the same way. By doing this, it ensures that no matter what motherboard you choose, you will always have a motherboard that fits perfectly into your computer case. Motherboards have gone through several different form factors over the years. Today, you will most commonly see ATX, MicroATX or MiniATX motherboards. When it comes to selecting a case and a motherboard, you will have to make sure their form factors are the same. If you don't, your motherboard will not fit in your case.
Aside from form factors, there are several different features each and every motherboard will provide. In order to pick the one you need with the features you want, you will have to ask yourself what you are going to use your computer for. What you will use your computer for will have a direct effect on the total cost of your computer. In today's day and age, technology is rapidly changing. What's new today may be old tomorrow. That is why it is best to build a computer based on flexibility. The main features you need to concern yourself with when selecting a motherboard are socket type, supported CPU, supported types of RAM, graphics interface, the number of expansion slots, on board audio and supported storage device types. We will talk about each of these briefly and then get into more detail later. This is just here to give you a general idea of what you need to look for when selecting a motherboard.
Socket Type and Supported CPU
Both of these items will directly affect which type of processor or CPU you will get. As of today, there are a total of eight supported socket types between AMD and Intel. All but two of them are in the process of being phased out. This means that if you get a motherboard with an older socket type, then in the near future, you may have problems finding replacement parts. That is why it is better to get a motherboard with one of the most recent socket types. AMD is currently making faster and better processors for sockets 939 and their new M2 socket. Intel just released one of the fastest processors on the market built for socket LGA 775. For flexibility and possibly future upgrades, it is advised to purchase a motherboard that has one of these three sockets. It will save you time and money in the long run.
Supported RAM
Each motherboard is built to support a specific type of RAM. Most commonly, you will find that today's motherboards are built for PC-3200 / DDR400 RAM. This type of RAM is considered to be the standard type. There are several different types of RAM available, but typically your safest bet is to get a motherboard that supports PC3200 / DDR400 RAM. If you have already selected your motherboard, just be sure that you get RAM that is actually recommended for it.
Graphics Interface
Graphics is what makes everything on your computer screen what it is. Without graphics, we would be stuck with computers that had nothing but a black screen with white text. The three most common types of graphics are on board, PCI-Express and AGP. If you are a casual computer user and don't play games, on board graphics should be the way for you to go. If you are into games, you should choose either an AGP or PCI-Express graphics interface.
Number of Expansion Slots
These are the number of PCI slots that are on motherboards. If you plan on adding a dial-up modem, more USB ports or any other add on card, you will want to make sure that you will have enough PCI slots to accommodate them. In most cases, the only things you would want to add are a dial-up modem and a sound card.
On Board Audio
Most motherboards will come with on board audio. If you choose a motherboard with on board audio, you can save yourself a little bit of money by not having to buy a sound card. On board audio is typically good enough for users who plan on having two to four speakers. If you want to hook up a 5.1 or 7.1 speaker system, you may have to look into getting a sound card.
Supported Storage Devices
Storage devices are hard drives. Hard drives come with different storage capacities and device types. The storage capacity is totally up to you. Motherboards can and will support any amount of capacity you want. Hard drive device types come in three different forms. We will only cover two: IDE ATA and SATA.
All this information is imperative when you are searching for the right motherboard. In a latter article, we will cover each of those topics in more detail, but for now, you should at least have a general idea of which type of motherboard you would want. As of now, you should have enough information to make an educated decision on which motherboard to buy. So, have fun and go shopping!
In the next article, you will see an illustrated guide to installing the motherboard to your computer case. So, are you ready for more? Let's keep going!
Part 4
For most motherboards, you will need a few tools for installing it into the case. All but one should be supplied with the computer case, which is a Phillips screwdriver. When you open a new computer case for the first time, you will see a manual, a small bag of screws, a power cord and a few other wires. Take everything out of the case. If it doesn't come out, just move if off to the side and keep it away from the center back piece of the case. Open up the small bag of screws and get out nine golden spacers. They look like this:
Set them off to the side for a second and take a look inside your computer case. You will see holes on the center back panel of your case. There should be more than nine, but you will only need to use nine. Set your computer case on its side to where the back panel is facing up. This will make it a lot easier to install the motherboard. Begin screwing the spacers into each hole. Just use your hands and make them hand tight. You will generally want something similar to this:
You may have to do some testing and moving around to get your motherboard lined up correctly.
Before you get down to mounting the motherboard to your case, you will need to place the back plate that came with your motherboard. The face plates will look something like this:
To install this, you just simply need to find where it goes on the inside of your case. It's usually near the bottom. Push it through the inside of the case.
Once you get all the spacers placed and the faceplate on, take a look at your motherboard. Look for small holes across the entire motherboard (indicated in the picture by blue circles). They will look similar to this:
Now, set the motherboard into the case on top of the golden spacers. Try your best to line them up. You should be able to see the golden spacer through the holes on the motherboard. The motherboard will just sit on top of these golden spacers. Once you have lined them up, get nine motherboard screws:
Now, grab your Phillips screwdriver and begin placing and tightening these screws into the golden spacers. Be careful not to tighten them too much. If you do, you may crack your motherboard if you do. It only has to be tight enough to be able to stand your computer case up without the motherboard moving or falling.
And that's that. In the next part, we will discuss choosing the right CPU. There are so many available that the options could be confusing. Hopefully, in the next section, I will be able to clear up some of this confusion, so be sure to join me again tomorrow for even more on building your own PC. It's getting good now!

I had this problem too, a couple of days back.
Accidentally pressed return with an empty line, and it booted.
im on a dell XPS M1530, I downloaded BT5 32bit and used Unetbootin to put it on a 2gb flash drive to boot from. Md5 matched so the download was good as well.
Ive changed the boot order appropriately but backtrack doesn't seem to boot. I get one line of text at the top (i think its just a name and date or something) and cannot type.
the escape key is the only key that does aything, it says boot aborted and leaves me at a prompt with
Ive waited for a while for it to boot and seen no progress, ive tried "startx" as well and it says there's no image or something along those lines.
I have no experience whatsoever with linux beyond installing Mint 7 which i never used. I also have virtual box installed, but have not tried to boot BT5 from it (i saw the post on the how to's but it seemed over my head)
My knowledge of computers is certainly above average, however I have refrained from tampering with system files and am not familiar with using command lines. (I havent used them since playing Gorillas on QBASIC)
Advice and guidance would be appreciated.
I had this problem too, a couple of days back.
Accidentally pressed return with an empty line, and it booted.

Doctor diagnoses woman's back pain as 'ghetto booty'
A Mid-South woman has filed a complaint with the Tennessee Department of Health after she said the doctor she went to see for back pain gave her an insulting diagnosis.
"He said 'I know what the problem is. It's ghetto booty,'" said 55-year-old Terry Ragland about what she was told by Dr. Timothy Sweo in April.

Do a Guy's Friends Influence His Choice Of Girlfriend?
Can his buddies' opinions make or break your relationship?
-Kristen Mark
It's always exciting when you're in a new relationship with a guy: everything is going amazingly well, and he says he wants to introduce you to his friends. Exciting – yes. Terrifying – you betcha! What will these friends think of you? And exactly how much of an influence do they have on your new man?
When you're really in love with each other, you see that person through rose-tinted glasses. "This has a lot to do with the influence of a potent neurochemical called dopamine that causes you to focus wholeheartedly on the person you're in love with," explains sex therapist and founder of Good In Bed, Ian Kerner. "You tend to wear blinders when it comes to other people's thoughts and feelings." This is where the phrase "love is blind" comes from. Things about that person that may be annoying to others – or are warning signs – are usually ignored. People have often cast aside friends and family to pursue love.

Do you remember what you were doing when you heard about the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C., on September 11, 2001? How about the details of the pastor's outfit at your wedding? Memory is powerfully affected by the contexts and circumstances within which we form our memories, but perhaps nowhere is this more true than in the rites and rituals that undergird religion. István Czachesz, a researcher the University of Helsinki, Finland, thinks that affecting memory may be among the most important functions of religious rituals.

If we're going dark extermination, I think it would be cool to give the tournament map a go, but I'm up for anything.

If we're going dark extermination, I think it would be cool to give the tournament map a go, but I'm up for anything.
Just gotta get it all played before XCOM arrives :D
Maybe next time - we could have people submit the oddest or most interesting maps they've seen and then vote on which we should play all the games on. Just picking one at random seems a bit boring.
Here are the tables for Season 13. As ever, it is your responsibility to challenge everyone above you in your division (see here if you're not sure), and this time you have to issue the challenge twice, once from each end. Instructions will follow in the next post. As I'm still experimenting with the rules and we're playing 12 games each this time round I'll extend the play period to 3 weeks, and of course it'll probably extend further if you can convince me it should. I also apologise to the poor folk at the bottom of each division who are going to have to issue 12 challenges!
Game rules and league procedures
1) Each game must conform to the following settings:
Mode: Dark Extermination
Turn limit: five turns
Turn duration: five seconds per turn (i.e. 5000 milliseconds - this is the default setting)
Visibility: vis at time zero
Team strength: four men per player - including at least one Grenade and/or Rocket
Mutators: at the challengers discretion
Server: UK1
Any game that does not conform to these rules will be void and must be replayed. You may not reuse maps - a new map must be generated for each opponent. Please see the next post if you're not sure how to create a game with the correct settings, and post in this thread if you are in any doubt.
2) After creating each game on server UK1, the challenger must announce the challenge in this thread. Format: "[Player1] has challenged [Player2] in [game ID 1] and [game ID 2]". (It would help if [game ID 1] was the game where you are Player 1, but I can probably figure it out.)
Example: "ColOfNature has challenged Xune in 123456 and 123459".
3) After each game has been completed, Player 1 must report the result in this thread. Standard format: "[Victorious player] has defeated [defeated player] in game [game ID] by [P1 kills] to [P2 kills]".
Example: "Xune has defeated ColOfNature in game 123456 by 3 to 1".
In the event of a draw, the format is "[P1] and [P2] have drawn in game [game ID] with [x] kills"
Example: "ColOfNature and Xune have drawn in game 123456 with 0 kills each"
I will update the spreadsheet with the result of each game. Scores will be as normal: 3 pts for a win, 1 for a draw, but tie-breakers will be on overall FS result scores.
4) Challengers may start issuing their challenges from today (Tuesday 02 October). All games must be completed by the end of Sunday 21 October.
5) We're all reasonable people, when pressed, so some flexibility will be applied. If you're going to be on holiday, or travelling to distant worlds, or otherwise restricted in your availability, please post in this thread and we will try to accommodate you as far as is reasonably practical.
6) Try to start your games in the first week and finish them early. Players leaving it to the last minute to issue a challenge or submit orders risk forfeiting the game. If any game is unfinished by the deadline I will declare both parties personae-non-grata and award your points to whoever strikes me as most deserving, by whatever criteria I consider appropriate at the time.
7) Any circumstances not catered for in these rules will be handled according to some combination of common sense, consensus, iron-fisted authoritarianism and whimsy. Mostly the latter.
Finally, a polite reminder that although PMing your email address to me is optional, it will make organisation easier so please consider doing so if you haven't already.
The divisions and rules for season 14 will be arranged some time after the close of season 13.
Also, if I've missed anything important or anything isn't clear then post below, PM me or email me either at ColOfNature or RockPaperSynapse on gmail to let me know.
Good luck!
1) Log in to server UK1.
2) Click the 'Online' button at the top of the screen
3) Click 'Create a game'
4) Click the 'Advanced setup' button
5) Click the 'Generate Extermination' button
6) If you get a silly map, or if you don't have four men per side with at least one explosive type, repeat the previous step until you're happy.
7) Click 'Save level' then enter a meaningful name (I'd suggest some abbreviation of your and your opponent's name, e.g. if I was challenging RodeoClown I might enter 'Col-vs-rc') and click 'Okay'. (If you forget this step it' possible to recover the map so just ask if you have any trouble and someone will be able to help.)
8) Click the 'Continue' button
9) Ensure that the 'Game mode' is set to 'Extermination'
10) Ensure that the 'Vis mode' is set to 'Vis at time zero'
11) Ensure that the 'Turn limit' is set to 5 and the 'Turn length' to 5000, which are the defaults the default)
12) Activate Mutators, if you like (although you'll only be able to do this if you own the Red DLC)
13) Enter your opponent's username
14) Enter 'RPS League' or something suitable so that your opponent knows it's for this league
15) Click the 'Submit' button
16) Take your first turn and note the challenge in this thread, using the format in the post directly above this one
Then, to start the mirror game, repeat steps 1 thru' 5, then:
17) Click 'Load level' and enter the name of the map from step 7
18) Click the 'Continue' button
19) Change 'I play side 1' to 'I play side 2'
20) Go to step 9 above - don't forget to make the Mutators the same, it's easy to overlook
As an aside: I actually find it easier to issue all my challenges before taking any turns; feel free to do the same, but please do take the turns as soon as all your challenges are done as it's a bit annoying to receive a challenge from someone who hasn't actually taken their first turn!
rodeoclown has challenged cimethink (Fumarole) in games 619761 and 619762
rodeoclown has challenged DeVadder in games 619759 and 619760
rodeoclown has challenged ColOfNature in games 619756 and 619757
(I just want to add that playing non-symmetrical is MUCH quicker to set up :))
If there was a prize for "Keenest Player", you'd get it every time!
(I think I'm just up whenever the challenges are issued, see the email, and have no qualms about playing video games during working hours :))
Gorzan has challenged Dathknight in games 619796 and 619797
Gorzan has challenged Bonuswavepilot in games 619795 and 619800
Also, I accidentally created a game against Dathknight on the same map I'm using against Bonuswavepilot (619798), is there a way to forfeit or dow e have to play it for it to dissappear?
DAMN, I just made one against Bonuswavepilot with a different map (619799), but the one I had chosen for the leage was being displayed! how can I be so clumsy?
Sorry guys, I hope this doesn't get confusing.
@Gorzan - haven't yet accepted your challenges, but I'll do so in a minute - I don't think the extra one will throw things off too much. Perhaps it can function as an unofficial re-match after the tournament... :)=
bonuswavepilot has challenged Dathknight in 619816 and 619817.
@Gorzan - you might want to make those maps again - there's only 3 players per side as it is...
I promise you I had put 4 dudes there before saving the map.
Man, am I ever clumsy.
Gorzan has challenged Bonuswavepilot in games 619840 and 619866
And I did it properly this time, I think.
For the sake of convenience I think I'll just make an explosion on the middle of my team on every non-leage match I created by mistake.
@Gorzan - no need to have them count as a loss against you - just hide the games in your game list you don't want to play. It is what the devs recommend if you get a challenge you're not interested in, so I can't see it doing any harm...
I guess I should also say: don't feel that you need to have all your games on the go at once! Feel free to stagger the challenges, particularly if you have to do lots of them. It might seem a bit daunting if you have loads of games to get started, but there's no rush.
@Gorzon - might need to try one more time I'm afraid - I seem to be player 1 in both of these maps :/= I have played a turn in 619840 already, so you only need to re-create the other one...
Well, shit.
I couldn't log in with my account details, and the game didn't recognize my registered email when I tried to retrieve my password. Luckily I still had my second gift copy available. Iv'e registered a new account under the name Cancellarii.
So, just to be clear, to all of you who are expecting an invite from Compretension - you will receive it from Cancellarii instead.
ColOfNature, could you change it in the league tables aswell? Sorry for the inconvenience.
Done. You should email Mode7 and explain what's happened, they may be good enough to delete your original account (assuming they can figure out the details) and get you a new gift copy. It's worth a try.
Alright, here we go:
[Cancellarii] has challenged [sgt_sniper95] in [619855] and [619856]
[Cancellarii] has challenged [Gorzan] in [619860] and [619861]
[Cancellarii] has challenged [BigBobr99] in [619857] and [619858]
[Cancellarii] has challenged [bonuswavepilot] in [619867] and [619868]
[Cancellarii] has challenged [Dathknight] in [619864] and [619865]
A little shout-out to Gorzan and Bonuswavepilot; I screwed up your invites.
Gorzan, please ignore game 619859 (the first of the three) - the first map save file decided to go all-out corrupt on me, so I couldn't re-use it.
Bonuswavepilot, you got four invites from me. I accidentally created a map with only three characters. RPS-2 is the name of the correct challenges.
...And that would be all.
Gentlemen, start your engines.

text: Apparently when it came down to it, Angus Jones was just not willing to walk away or ask out of his contract so he would not have to keep earning $350K to show up and be filthy. So much for those principles. The producers would have let him walk. I didn't think he would be back this year when they sent him off to the army at the end of the last season. They used him for the Miley Cyrus episodes and I bet she would be thrilled to have Angus quit and step into the role at $350K a week and would be as filthy as they wanted. Angus gave the weakest apology ever but says he will be at work after the Christmas break. Lets see if they have him appear on any of the shows.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Easy access to harbourside and CBD, restful.
Well mannered staff. Comefortable rooms. Dining is excellent value.Note, we used to stay at Wrest Point - you do it equally as well.
Very pleased with the food provided and the helpfulness of the staff and their interest in offering advice when requested. The outside traffic, but you can't do anything about that and we had no real problem with it.it
The hotel is central located restaraunt and mini bar prices are very resonable. the rooms are very comfortable and staff are very helpfull.
We were happy with all aspects.The dining room value for money and quality of the evening meals. The dining room staff were very helpful and gave an honest accurate assessment of the hotel. I felt they were an asset to the hotel and should be appraised. I was a bit concerned about parking but found a spot on each occasion.
Convenient, quiet, easy access to city shower - impossible to control water temperature - either too hot or too cold . Need additional parking
Strategic location & free car park
Nice hotel central to Hobart. Cheap and comfortable.
great value mini bar, surprisingly classy rooms & facilities, friendly & helpful staff. some traffic noise on 5th floor
great location at reasonable price. Friendly & helpful staff and clean rooms. older style hotel with minimum facilities
nice clean and within easy walking distance to shops and city centre
Easy access to dining and cheaper alternative such as supermarket, bakeries.
Liz was very nice and very helpfull as was the male person on Saturday and Sunday very plesent experence maybe the black spider in my bed.
Local shops Lack of a window
Clean large rooms, close to market, shopping and food places and great value..
It was well located near the Salamanca and waterfront areas. Quiet despite a pub opposite being very busy one night. It was one of the blandest, plainest room I have ever stayed in - reminded me of a student hall of residence. Not a place to linger- but functional.
Good position, close to Salamanca Place, the harbour and the concert hall. I wish a single room was half the price of a double.
Its proimity to my conference venue
we are regular patrons of this hotel. It is ideally situated for a visit to Hobart.
I liked the location and it wasnt far to walk in to the centre of town. There were great places to eat near by.
Central to all that we wanted to do and see
Very easy and quick to access rooms from the streetfront. Very quiet compared to most hotels. Very close to the waterfront and to the restaurants at Salamanca.
This hotel has poor ventilation, It was stuffy. I suspect it has "Sick Building Syndrome" a condition where carbon dioxide, paint and plastic emissions acculmulate due to poor ventilation.
The bathroom facilities were great, beds were comfortable, there was no noise from the outside despite being close to night spots. Staff were exellent and very helpful. Nice big room even with three people. Tried to park the morning before, rang up to confirm and was told it would be fine, but at that time of the morning the only parking available were metered spaces. Not a problem for me but might be for an elderley couple.
Locality to the city and surrounds
Nothing Its position very small rooms
Cheaper than others The bed. To short. Unconfortable. Room to small could not breath.
The cottage room was excellent. Roomy and clean with good heating, bed and bathroom. Arrived at 6pm to discover reception had closed. Advertised on booking.com as 7pm. Arrived at same time as another guest. Found keys, but both keys were in her name!! We sorted it out ourselves as the girl on the end of the phone that we called for assistance did not even know the layout to the hotel! Very dodgy path between main reception area and cottage , uneven ground and no lighting..
Checking out. Awful, tiny, shabby room.
Clean, firm bed. Decent shower, clean bathroom. Checkin closes at 7pm (or earlier?)! There is a phone to call for 'after hours' checkin, but they answer only occasionally. We called 5 times over a couple of hours elapsed time, finally getting an answer telling us the key was in a box on the wall.
The room was spacious and the views from the window were good. The car parking was a problem when the hotel was full
Location was handy to North Hobart and easy to find. Room was quiet and clean and good value.
that it was only five minutes from hobart centre no air conditioner
We liked the view of the water & it was in a very good position for where we needed to be. The staff were great. The only complaint was that for the whole of our 12 night visit the cleaners did not sweep the floor which was very dusty as it was floorboards. I suffer with my sinuses so it didn't help.
Not clean. housekeeping girls probably did not change the bed sheet.
Owner extremely helpful and informative. Rooms cleaning inconsistant, and requires better supervision. Rooms are tired.Location and view is good. as above
The room was clean, comfortable and close to my business destination. The reserve near by was a great morning walk. Very difficult to find. Not within walking distance of any facilties.
Great view & location for the city & airport. Accomodation very clean & welcoming. No.
Lovely view of the city at nght Motel is very hard to get to if you dont know the area
The manager was very good the room was clean & tidy we stayed 3 nights then at the end of our holiday we could have gone to another motel but we liked it at the city view motel so we rang ( grant )and he arranged for us the same room we would stay there again thankyou to grant and his staff dennis d thomas t No
The view was attractive Based on the cost of the room I would expect a continental breakfast included. A couple of pieces of toast and a cup of tea should not cost $10.
Friendly and helpful staff.
the bed was very comfortable... king size.. nice sleep.. easy check in and out, very friendly hotelier there were no face washers and couldnt get the tv and set top box working, mouldy shower mat
Beatiful view of the city. Poor signposting. Almost impossible to find it without asking for help.
We were allowed privacy but the staff were very helpful if we had any queries.
Its close proximity to Salamanca When we arrived for 2 nights we were asked to move rooms after the first night, we refused but obviously someone else had to move, the rooms need maintenance.
location location location location location location location.......... The smell of the room. It smelt strongly of some cleaning product that was not pleasant, yet it was persistent. Even with the windows open it was hard to shift.
Even though the hotel had no record of our booking and was fully booked, they worked very hard to make sure we had a bed each night.
location and clean presentation of room no complaints
suitable for a family with reasonable busget, close to shopping, nice beach and mountain view small
Easy walking distance to city. Cleaning of room not as good as it could have been. The bathroom sink and surronding counter was not washed the two days were were there.
Whilst motel was reasonably clean,it was pretty basic & outdated. It was early sixties style,we got wet trying to open the external door ,as the locks were old fashioned &and were very difficult to open,thus as it was raining we were fully exposed to the weather,which resulted in us getting wet. There did'nt appear to be anyone on duty after eight thirty P.M. and we had to enter the building though the heavy duty steel door, which obviously doubled as the fire escape,however to be fair the owner was telling us he had only recenly taken the motel over, and that he intended refurbishing in the short term. I think I could get better value elsewhere at the moment, but I would be prepared to consider staying there again after the re-furbishment.
I liked my stay and my room, which had lovely views.I liked the area it was in, and its claeness to shops , parks etc I didn't like the way the room was cleaned. On a number of occasions, the table wasn't wiped clean and milk wasn't refreshed. The road outside was quite noisy.,
The location was ideal. Price was reasonable for the amminities offered. The motel is old and rather run down. There is no one at the front desk. We were given a room at the top most level from which the view was nise but, with no elevator, we had to carry the luggage up four flights of stairs. The room was relatively clean but smelled musty and old.

A Classic Journey
Fall Family Weekend marked the seventh year that the Classics Department staged a marathon reading of one of four classical texts: Iliad, Aeneid, Odyssey, and Metamorphosis. "We alternate between Greek and Latin," explained Trish Dougherty, academic coordinator for classics and classical studies. Trish is a key organizer of the event, and she provided much of the background in the following slide show from the weekend's event, which took place just inside the entrance to the Davis Family Library and featured the Odyssey.
Stay tuned to MiddMag for more Fall Family Weekend stories, including links to the President's address to parents, panels and discussions, and other editorial coverage.

Library History
Public computing was an instantaneous success, and in January a second Apple II+ was purchased and placed in what had been the underused children's bathroom. The fixtures were removed and the tile walls were padded with carpet. The room was named "Pascal Place" and it offered privacy for computing. Microsoft Works and Data Factory were two of the earliest software applications. Each computer offered 64 megabytes of RAM! A printer was also purchased.
Software titles included educational games like Oregon Trail and fun games like Pong. A fantasy adventure game, The Wizard and the Princess, was very popular among staff on their breaks. Old and young, librarians, pages and security… even visiting family members, worked together to solve the game.
A popular library program was given by area resident Steve Feinberg who worked with
teens and fantasy adventure games like Cranston Manor, Birth of the Phoenix, and Empire of the Overmind.
The budget passed in May with the voters approving a whopping $604,500. There were 1604 "yes" votes and 824 "no" votes. Elected to the Library Board for five year terms were Sharon Fulmer, Dr. N. Donald Boink and Genevieve Pieniazek.
In June the Board approved a proposal to increase the limit of sick days that an employee could accumulate from ninety to two hundred days. This would bring the library more in line with what the school district offered their teachers, and, in essence, would be a form of disability insurance for the employees without the library having to incur additional cost. The policy went into effect on July 1.
June saw the 11th annual Art in the Park featuring the Thornden Morris Dancers as entertainment. According to a report written by Jean Armour the two day event attracted five thousand visitors despite the fact that it was rained out on Saturday. A total of seventy artists participated.
Staff members Jean Armour, Elaine Heller, Anna Foley, Judith Rossoff, Margaret Trinca, Lisa Murphy and Dolores Turcotte were recognized for their contributions to the library by the Board of Trustees.
Late summer saw the arrival of pages Pam Sprague and Robin Oelschlager.
In October Assistant Director Margaret ( Peg) Trinca left the library after eight years to take a position as Product Manager at Gaylord Systems on Morgan Road. Judith Rossoff was promoted to the Assistant Director position and Renee Romance was hired as Head of the Audio Visual Department. Betty Matiskella was hired as a part time reference librarian and appointed to take charge of the Vertical (pamphlet) File formerly managed by Barbara Herrgesell. Barbara was appointed to take charge of the Early Childhood Department.
Other staff changes included the promotion of Cheryl Cornell to be the assistant to Jean Armour and Mickayla (Mickey) Crouse who became a circulation desk clerk. Jerry Everson, formerly a page, became a full time security guard and assistant to Frank Burgess, building custodian.
In November the spaces in the parking area underneath the library were rearranged and the lines redrawn in reverse. The traffic pattern became "clockwise."
The lot next door to the library ( adjacent to the shoe repair shop) was purchased with an eye toward future expansion.
In December Dr. Harvey Kaiser, Syracuse University, author of the "Great Camps of the Adirondacks " lectured to almost one hundred people in the Carman Community Room.
In cooperation with the Liverpool Central Schools, the library developed an initiative with the academically gifted fifth and sixth grade students in the DELPHI program. Two teachers, Stan Cianfarano and Mary Nims, brought a group of students to the library on a regular basis. Librarians assisted them with their research projects often helping them to locate academic resources outside of our collection.

DressingsBy Sadie Stein
We're out this week, but we're re-posting some of our favorite pieces from 2011 while we're away. We hope you enjoy—and have a happy New Year!
Over the weekend, in preparation for Hurricane Irene, I moved clothes out of the back-room closet in our Brooklyn apartment, which in heavy rain has been known to leak. I moved coats and a few vintage pieces I never wear but which seem too peculiar to throw away. And I moved the large silver garment bag I've carried with me to six apartments in as many years.
You see, when I was twenty-four, I had a wedding dress made. It was—and remains—a beautiful dress, the sort of garment for which "confection" is actually an apt description: sheer Swiss dot overlaying pale pink, a voluminous crinoline, a tea-length skirt. The effect was a bit Funny Face, but not so bridal that I wouldn't, as I told everyone at the time, be able to wear it again. Where I would have occasion to wear such a dress again was an open question. But when I was married, surely, this question would resolve itself like so many others.
From the get-go, I knew I wanted Mary to make the dress. I'd been pressing my nose against the glass of her Lower East Side shop for the better part of a decade and relished having an excuse to walk through the door into the tent-striped interior, which smelled strongly of Votivo's Red Currant candle.
Mary was a strong-minded and somewhat intimidating figure whom I quickly grew to revere. Tall and imposing, she was generally black-clad, sporting a feathery twist of hair, red lipstick, and a pair of severely stylized glasses. She said I was the easiest bride she'd ever dealt with; I think I may have just been so young that I was easy to push around. That, and I didn't have an interfering mother. My mom, who came with me to only a couple of the numerous fittings, was out of her element in the fragrant, feminine space and deferred instinctively to the designer. I didn't want to prolong the process. I was uncomfortable with someone lavishing so much of her time on something for my express use. Read More
