How to build this plywood rack
Photo 4: Assemble the back
Flip the project over and assemble the back section. Position back 2x6s for the bottom and side and fasten them with two 3-in. screws where they meet. Then drive screws at an angle (toe-screw) through the ends of the 2x6s into the assembly below. Attach the plywood back piece to the 2x6s with the 2-in. screws.
Plywood takes up relatively little space and is easy to store—simply lean it against a wall. The trick is getting at it when you need it. Nine times out of 10, you need the half sheet that's buried behind 12 others. If you've experienced that frustration, you'll love this rack. Casters and a set of hinges are the secret for easy access. They allow you to swing the storage rack out from the wall and slide out the storm window, paneling or other item you want. Dividers strengthen the rack while enabling you to separate large sheets from smaller ones.
Each slot has room for about six sheets of 3/4-in. plywood. Although you can modify our design and make the slots larger, keep in mind that anything that sits around for a year or two is a donation candidate.
Construction of the rack goes surprisingly fast. Plan an afternoon for the project plus an hour or two to
run to the home center for materials. (See Materials List, above left.) The least expensive wood will do, although for a few dollars more, an AC grade of plywood (sanded on one side) is usually flatter and nicer to work with.
When loaded, this rack is heavy. So make sure to buy casters rated for at least 200 lbs. each. One of the casters should have a brake for extra stability. If you purchase all your materials new, it'll cost a little over 100 bucks. But chances are you'll have some of these materials lying around. (Use up that extra 3/4-in. plywood!) Cut the plywood and 2x6s to size first, following Fig. B on p. 70 for dimensions (Photo 1). You can make your cuts freehand (without a guideboard) because they don't have to be perfect. Use a sharp, carbide-tipped blade with at least 24 teeth to minimize splintering.
After cutting all the pieces, screw the rack together. Start with the center plywood divider first, attaching the bottom 2x6 and then the side. Use the factory edge of the plywood to keep it all square. Next, measure and mark out your center 2x6 dividers and set them in place (Photo 2). This spacing isn't critical; use more or fewer dividers depending on your needs. After you fasten the front piece of plywood (Photo 3), you can turn the rack over and drive additional screws, spacing them every 12 in. For the back bin you'll have to toe-screw (screw at an angle) the bottom and side 2x6s through the center plywood divider and into the opposite 2x6 (Photo 4). These toe screws hold them in place until you attach cleats, which solidly join the two sections (Photo 5).
All that's left is attaching the hardware and fastening the rack to the wall. Since the rack and its contents are heavy, use lag screws to hold the casters and hinges in place. Predrill your holes with a 3/16-in. bit. Set the casters at a slight angle (5 degrees) to accommodate the swing of the rack (Fig. A). Attach the hinges and you're all set to swing the rack out from the wall and fill it up.

A desirable vintage of the stylish classic with its improved neck and period features.
The Fender American Vintage '65 Jazzmaster Electric Guitar takes you back to the middle of that musically momentous decade, when the reverb-drenched surf had largely receded and the Jazzmaster began its steady decade-long ascent toward alternative indispensability for subversive new generations of iconoclastic guitarists. It had also acquired some elegant new design features by 1965, such as a bound round-laminated rosewood fingerboard with larger pearl dot inlays, and distinctive white "witch hat" control knobs.
The American Vintage Series has long presented some of Fender's best selling guitars (their early-'80s introduction, in fact, was one of the first signs that Fender was "back" as the CBS era ended). Today, Fender has boldly cleared the slate to make way for a fresh American Vintage series with new features, new specs and the most meticulous level of vintage accuracy yet. Rather than just replacing the previous models with different ones, they've completely and comprehensively re-imagined the entire vintage-reissue concept-restoring original tooling dies, voicing new pickups, reformulating vintage colors and more-based on actual vintage guitars. Includes case.

Title IV Refund Policy
(Effective with the 2000-2001 Academic Year)
For periods of enrollment, beginning on or after July 1, 2000 at Thomas Jefferson University, the Title IV refund policy is as follows:
The University Financial Aid Office will be notified by the University Registrar's Office at the time a student withdraws, or otherwise ceases to be enrolled.
At the time notification is received the University Financial Aid Office will:
- Determine the number of calendar days completed and divide this by the total number of days in the academic term (e.g., semester). This will determine the percentage of the academic period that has been completed by the student, thereby determining the percentage of 'earned' Title IV aid.
- If the student has completed at least 60 percent of the academic period, then no further action is required.
- If the student has completed less than 60 percent of the academic period, then the Refund process will continue as follows.
- The percentage of unearned aid will be determined by subtracting the percentage of earned aid (as calculated in step 3) from 100 percent.
The amount of unearned aid will be determined by multiplying the percentage calculated in Step 4 by the total amount of Title IV aid (excluding FWS and the non-federal share of SEOG) for the designated academic period.
Once the amount of unearned aid is assessed, the amount that must be returned by Thomas Jefferson University will be determined as:
- the lesser of the "institutional charges for the payment period or period of enrollment times the percentage of Title IV aid unearned" or "total amount of unearned Title IV aid."
Based on the date of withdrawal-student has earned 45 percent of total TIV aid.
- Tuition for one semester at Jefferson Medical College is $15,038 (2000-2001 academic year).
- Student has received subsidized Stafford funds for $4,000 (net amount), federal Perkins for $2,000 and unsubsidized Stafford funds for $10,000 (net amount).
- 45 percent of tuition for the specified period is 6,767.
- 45 percent of total TIV aid is $7,200.
- Thomas Jefferson University is responsible for returning the lesser of the two, which is $6,767.
The student is responsible for returning the difference between the total unearned TIV aid ($7,200) and the amount TJU is responsible for returning ($6,767). For the example noted above this amount equals $433.
Thomas Jefferson University's Financial Aid Office (TJU FAO) will notify the student as to the portion of Title IV funding that will be returned by the College as well as the amount that must be returned by the student. This notice will also include instructions as to how and the appropriate address to return said funds.
Both Thomas Jefferson University and the student are responsible for returning funds in the following order:
- Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan
- Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan
- Unsubsidized Direct Stafford Loan
- Subsidized Direct Stafford Loan
- Perkins Loan
- Direct PLUS
- Pell Grants
- Other Title IV aid
A student may exercise standard repayment options in fulfilling the obligation to return Title IV (loan) funds.
Maximum portion of grant funds that must be returned by the student is 50 percent.
If at the time the student withdraws, (s)he has 'earned' Title IV funds in excess of the amount disbursed, then Thomas Jefferson University's Financial Aid Office (TJU FAO) will notify the student (within 90 days of the withdrawal date) as to the amount and type of funding that can still be disbursed. In doing so TJU FAO will provide the student the option of accepting or rejecting the 'post withdraw' disbursement. Students will be required to respond to this notice within 14 days. If the student does not respond said funds will be cancelled.
If the 'post withdraw' deferment results in a credit balance (after payment of all applicable university charges), the student will have the option to accept the refund or request the return of the funds to the applicable Title IV program. If a student does not respond in the specified 14 day period, then Title IV loan funds will be returned to the respective lending source.

Blake Shelton is staying true to Miranda Lambert
Listen to Blake Shelton on iHeartRadio | Listen to Miranda Lambert on iHeartRadio
Blake Shelton says he's staying true to Miranda Lambert by not appearing in music videos with another love interest!
In an interview with People, he said, "Since I've been married, I won't go there in a video. If I was to go there, it would be Miranda in a video. I'm not an actor and don't pretend to be. Everybody knows I'm married to Miranda Lambert, and they don't want to see me leaving a bar with a girl. Why would I take this ring off for a video? I'd be insulted by that if I was Miranda, and I don't want to do anything to insult her or hurt her feelings."

An x-ray (radiograph) is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose numerous medical conditions. Imaging with x-rays involves exposing a part of the body to a small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body. X-rays are the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging. A full spectrum of tests include: chest, bone, joint, spine, abdominal, and gastrointestinal tract.
Also available: a moving picture x-ray in real time called fluoroscopy, and IVP (kidney, ureters, and urinary bladder) studies.
The hospital's Emergency Room X-Ray suite offers state-of-the-art digital equipment for faster service to expedite treatment.

The East Witton Male Voice Choir has been 'making music' since 1950. Strictly speaking the choir's origin was that of a quartet with rehearsals taking place in an East Witton house. The family were music enthusiasts and their Methdodist background was the stimulus for the quartet and its original repertoire.
As the quartet developed into a choir there was a need to find an alternative practice venue and the choir moved to Leyburn. In due course the choir developed to sing and perform a wide range of music including jazz, popular, musicals, spirituals and classics.
In its early years the quartet and small choir performed at many locations across North Yorkshire and more recently has sung at various concert venues in Wensleydale, Coverdale and Swaledale. It has also been pleased to be invited to sing at weddings and funerals.
At the present time there are over 30 members of varying ages and the trend has been one of growing choir numbers. Led by our musical Director Diana Hartley and accompanied by Ruth Biker, both ladies are committed to making and sharing music of a high standard whilst having a lot of fun on the way.
The choir meets in Leyburn Methodist Hall on Wednesday evenings from September to May from 7.30pm to 9.00pm. We give concerts at Christmas and have a very popular Spring Concert in April. Other engagements are undertaken throughout the season so look out for our performances by searching 'Attractions and Events'.
Over the past 15 years we have raised over £20,000.00 for local, national and international charities. Anyone interested in joining the choir would be welcome to our rehearsals. Please ring Diana on 01969650245 for further information.

The Big 8
The most important questions to ask when pondering whether to sell your business
Some entrepreneurs spend years developing a solid business—growing, investing and nurturing their enterprise into a successful endeavor. Why then, would less effort be put into plans to sell a business? This may sound strange, but according to financial professionals, it happens all the time. Failing to structure your exit can cost in the form of tax penalties, lower profits and the potential for legal action.
There are eight issues to consider before selling your business:
1. Is your company structured to be tax efficient and easily sold? "Many businesses outgrow their initial founding entity," says Carleen Shilling, a tax partner at Eide Bailly. "Having an entity that's not tax efficient will cost a business owner substantially when they have to pay taxes on their gains."
2. Does your business make a favorable presentation? Are your finances clear, complete and accurate? "Poor organization can cause a potential purchaser and advisors to label the business as poorly managed and prompt them to start looking for problems," notes Michael Walling, vice president of mergers and acquisitions for R.B. Gold & Associates.
3. Have your advisory team evaluate plans to sell your business early on. Walling says business owners should begin planning the sale of their business up to three years before they plan to sell. "This is a major event in your life and your financial team should be on board at the very beginning," says Shilling. Tax implications, legal obstacles and long-term financial requirements should be planned and executed with authority.
4. Have you considered all the tax consequences involved in the sale of your business? While the price may seem like the most important figure you are dealing with in the sale of your company, another figure that is paramount is the amount you will have after taxes are paid. Failure to factor in tax consequences prior to the sale can be costly and, in many cases, irreversible. One of the most common mistakes business owners make involve company real estate. "You never want to be in a situation where you've just sold a real estate property for cash and are then wondering if you can defer any taxes by reinvesting the proceeds into another property," Shilling adds. "Unfortunately, in a normal sale transaction, once the seller gets the cash, it is too late for tax planning." To defer taxes, a "like-kind" exchange must be executed in line with IRS codes and done prior to such sales.
5. Who are your potential buyers and what's your sale price? Business owners should determine their goals for the future and determine the most beneficial sale situation. Grooming a successor, having key managers and raising the profile of your business are key, too. "The ideal situation is to attract a number of potential purchasers and initiate an auction," Walling adds.
6. How is your timing? Business owners usually can increase the price if they carefully plan the sale and time it just right. "If the business is expanding at the time of the sale, the owners are likely to get a better price than if the company has reached a plateau or is declining," Walling says.
7. What will you do with your life after the you sell? Will you retire, start another business or reinvest in other entities? All factors should be considered before you sell. Age and lifestyle are other thinking-points. 8. Be prepared for the emotions involved. "Regardless of your age, selling a business can be more emotional than people realize," Shilling notes. "It is important to be prepared for this huge decision and know that it isn't always easy to do."

Remember just a few short weeks ago, when the media were speculating about how high gasoline prices could go? I know—I wrote a story like that myself.
In early March, gasoline prices hit $3.94 a gallon, and topped the magic $4.00 mark in California and other states. That was based on a jump in Brent crude oil prices to $128 a barrel.
Some of it was due to a growing U.S. economy and some logistical issues. But the main reason was fear of either an Israeli air strike to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities or Iranian military action to break sanctions from the international community.

Patrick Watkins saw his share of insider attacks in Vietnam. It sickens him to read about Afghan security forces turning against American and coalition forces; more than 60 have died at the hands of supposed colleagues this year.
The decorated Taylorsville veteran, co-grand marshal of Sunday's Veterans Day Parade, has been recommended for the Army's second-highest medal for valor in connection with such an attack, one that killed 18 of his fellow special operations forces in 1968.
Betrayal by insiders is just one of the parallels he sees between his war and the one in Afghanistan, and it leaves him cold.
"You can't win as an occupier. You can have all the best intentions in the world, but if it drags on, pretty soon everybody starts hating you. People you train hate you. The bad guys hate you," says Watkins, 74. "It's a no-win situation."
Watkins spent 27 months in country three combat tours in Vietnam and, covertly, in Laos and Cambodia and now detests war.
"I've seen too much of it," says Watkins, who came to Utah in 1976 to teach outdoor skills to ROTC cadets at the University of Utah. "The cemeteries are full of mistakes by politicians."
One of his former commanders in Vietnam, Clyde Sincere, of St. George, says that sentiment is common among those who saw combat.
"Few guys that have actually heard shots fired in anger think that's the way to go."
'They instilled this sense of duty in me' • Watkins was a 6-foot-tall, 135-pound runner from Sullivan, Ind., when he enlisted in the Marines rather than taking a track scholarship in 1957.
He was the lone male in a family of women his mother, aunt, grandmother and two younger sisters and they moved whenever the adults had an impulse to go.
"One year I was in seven different schools," Watkins recalls. "We would just get our feet planted and we were off."
The family spent nine months in Salt Lake City at the beginning of their nomadic life. He was 8 or 9 when his mother left his abusive father in Michigan, hopping the L.A. Express train for Salt Lake City one night with her three children and her mother in tow.
His aunt was then working for the Sweet Candy Co. His mother got a job making doughnuts at a variety store. They lived in the historic Devereaux House, Utah's first mansion in the 1800s, which was essentially a tenement by the time Watkins lived there in the 1940s.
By high school, his mother had remarried and the family was settled in the small Indiana farming community of Sullivan, where he played football, basketball and ran.
"I was not a great athlete, but I willed myself to be good," he recalls. "I'd be out running in the wintertime when other kids were by the stove."
He joined the Marines out of a need for discipline, adventure and food.
"I never had three meals in my life," Watkins says, "until I went in the Marine Corps."
And though the women who reared him did not put a lot of value in staying put, "Somehow they instilled this sense of duty in me."
'We were lucky most of the time' • Seven years later, after stints in Lebanon and Guantanamo Bay during the Cuban missile crisis, Watkins was out of the Marines and trying to figure out what to do with his life.
He and his bride of a year, Carol Watkins, herself a Marine for three years, left Camp Pendleton in California for Indiana and then headed to Washington state, where they welcomed their first daughter, Kelly, in 1964. Tracey was born three years later.
Watkins longed to be a Green Beret, and after surveying the job scene and hating the week he spent digging ditches for Carol's dad he joined the Army.
Soon, Watkins was trained as a Ranger and accepted into special operations forces. He learned to sky-dive from high altitudes, scuba dive, conduct unconventional warfare and speak Vietnamese.
Beginning in 1967, he was a patrol leader for clandestine Studies and Observations Group (SOG) units that, working with Vietnamese who lived in the mountains, sabotaged and unsettled enemy North Vietnamese where they took refuge in Laos and Cambodia.
Teams of two or three Americans and nine indigenous soldiers would drop through the jungle's three levels of canopy, landing by helicopter when they could, but sometimes arriving by parachute or ropes from helicopters. They would spend a couple of days finding enemy facilities or planting mines amid snakes, monkeys and leeches, and go out again by climbing ropes to the helicopter if it could not land. The main objective was to shut down the Ho Chi Minh Trail, the supply route for the North Vietnamese Army.
Casualties were high. Of the 16 men with him when he first went to Vietnam, nine died there.
They wore no dog tags and used North Vietnamese uniforms and weapons. He remembers one time shouting, in Vietnamese, at a U.S. pilot he was rescuing. The pilot only learned later that Americans had been involved in his rescue.
"We were supposed to go in undetected, which got harder and harder as it went on because they had anti-reconnaissance units looking for us," Watkins says. "The Viet Cong knew we were there, but we were lucky most of the time."
Publicly, the U.S. government denied it had soldiers in those countries. The work done by the estimated 3,000 other SOG soldiers was secret until the 1990s, when it was finally declassified. The unit was given the Presidential Unit Citation for extraordinary heroism.
Watkins, who already had earned four bronze stars, was given another in 2001. Three of the five are for valor and two for meritorious achievement. He also was awarded two Purple Hearts ("or as we call it in the Army, the inefficiency badge," he jokes). Watkins' decorations also include three Army Commendation Medals, two Meritorious Service Medals and three Air Medals.
'Indomitable courage and bravery' • Fellow special ops soldier Dick Crawford served with Watkins and gathered affidavits and photos asking that Watkins be given the Distinguished Service Cross for his actions at Da Nang on Aug. 22-23, 1968. The cross is the highest medal below the Medal of Honor.
Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., submitted the packet to the Army, Crawford says. It's not clear when there will be a decision, particularly because rules which can be broken require such medals be promptly awarded after combat.
In one eyewitness affidavit, Staff Sgt. Joseph M. Conlon tells how Watkins saved lives when the headquarters he was visiting was attacked by mortar and grenades, obviously with the help of camp workers.
Though injured repeatedly by grenade shrapnel that night, Watkins used his .45-caliber handgun to shoot many of the enemy.
Among those he saved was medic Bob Scully, who was shot and left as bait to would-be rescuers.
"Watkins threw himself on top of Scully to protect him from the blast [of a grenade] and was wounded again … then picked Scully up and carried and passed him through heavy fire to the edge of the building," Conlon writes. " ... Though wounded multiple times, Staff Sgt. Watkins ignored his own painful injuries and continued the search for the wounded, and through his indomitable courage and bravery, he rallied others to follow."
Watkins is critical about much in his country today: He believes the United States sends soldiers into fights without clear objectives. He disdains an officer corps he sees as primarily interested in their own careers. Big business is behind much of war, he says, and the public is indifferent because so few serve in an all-volunteer "mercenary" force that is the military.
"The Vietnam War is a good example of why you can't fight limited wars successfully," Watkins says. "This thing in Afghanistan just makes me so mad, that we are still sitting there, having guys getting blown up by guys they're training."
Unlike Vietnam, though, there is no broad protest movement putting pressure on politicians to end the war. President Barack Obama has said U.S. troops will leave in 2014.
"There is no incentive now, because it's not them [a cross section of America] serving."
'It was the best decision I made' • Watkins remained in the Army for eight years after returning from Vietnam in 1972.
Watkins, Carol says, was able to leave the war behind. "He would come home and he was a dad, a father."
He had some battle fatigue, as post-traumatic stress disorder was then called.
"I had to recover bodies that had been in the jungle for days," Watkins says. "But you've got to put that stuff in your kit bag and not worry about it."
In 1976, the Watkins family came to Utah so he could teach ROTC cadets skills such as orienteering, snow-cave building and cross-country skiing,.
The family got involved in the running community. By the time he and Carol stopped running competitively, he had raced in 29 marathons and Carol in 16. Their daughter Kelly ran for the U. and even made it to the Olympic trials.
Watkins retired as a master sergeant in 1980, even though it meant passing up a promotion to sergeant major; the couple didn't want to leave Utah.
He worked a variety of jobs after that: as an equipment manager for U. athletics, as a technical writer for Hercules Co. and then as a safety manager at the Veterans Affairs hospital. He retired in 2001.
"It was the best decision I made, staying in Utah," says Watkins, sitting in his living room with Carol after walking their dogs, Bernie and Libby, for three miles on a recent morning.
Besides regular trips to a gym for workouts, the couple spend much of their time these days caring for what Watkins calls their "humane society" of rescued animals and feeding bread to ducks on a nearby canal.
Once a year, he gathers with other special ops forces for a reunion in Las Vegas.
Whether he ultimately is awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, Watkins says, is not important.
"I don't wear a uniform anymore. I can't show it," Watkins says. "It's more a recognition for what happened to all of us over there."
But, the former soldier says, it would be nice. "I hope I get it before I'm horizontal."

text: How do you know your sending malformed packets? You should try capturing on a different device with wireshark and see what is truely being sent. If you use the same card you inject with and try using wireshark on that same device. It does show that some packets will be malformed. But, in fact they are being properly sent. After you check with a seperate device if you are still having problems maybe try updating/re-installing drivers. They should be fine though

Thread: The Tie Shop
The Tie Shop
A fleeing Taliban, desperate for water, was trudging through the Afghanistan desert when he saw something far off in the distance. Hoping to find water, he hurried towards it, only to find a little old Jewish man at a small stand selling ties.
The Taliban asked, Do you have water?
The Jewish man replied, I have no water. Would you like to buy a tie? They are only $5 or 2 for $8.
The Taliban shouted, Infidel! I do not need an over-priced tie! I need water! I should kill you, but I must find water first!
OK, OK said the old Jewish man, It does not matter that you do not want to buy a tie and that you hate me. I will show you that I am bigger than that. If you continue over that hill to the east for about two miles, you will find a lovely restaurant. It has all the ice cold water you need. Shalom.
Muttering, the Taliban staggered away over the hill. Several hours later he staggered back, almost dead!!! Your f***ing brother said he wont let me in without a tie!!!I've learned that pleasing everyone is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

what type of video card do you have on this HP machine?
if you don't know, what is the machine model?
Hey guys. I'm kinda new, though I've used Backtrack 4 before.
I know that when you first boot up the live cd, you have to enter "startx". I had a laptop, and it used to work fine. But then I upgrade to an HP laptop, and when I enter "startx", it flashed to a black screen, then returns to the terminal, with this"
Anyone have any idea what I can do? I apologize if I'm missing something blatantly obvious, haha. Thanks in advance.
what type of video card do you have on this HP machine?
if you don't know, what is the machine model?
...and of course you have already reviewed /var/log/Xorg.0.log, since the screen capture so blatantly tells you that it is recording information there.
naturally you have already attempted to resolve any issues that it listed by troubleshooting and quite possibly using search engines to determine the appropriate steps to follow.
because certainly you would have done that as well as attempted the many offered solutions to be found within these very forums before doing something as ridiculous as asking questions about such a well documented problem.
of course you did. and we are proud of you. keep up the good work.
You can try 2 things
1. fix-vesa
2. Xorg -configure and then cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
How about just removing your conceited pompous head from your **** and proffer up a bit of solid advice instead of demeaning sarcasm. Twats like you should **** if you cant be bothered to help someone.

Honestly we do not approve such language here, especially when @macphail is right.
If you take a close look here: FAQ - BackTrack Linux you can see that we do not recommend BackTrack unless you have advanced linux skills.I came here looking for the same info because i have NEVER used linux before
Also if you take a close look here: Forum Rules « BackTrack Linux – Penetration Testing Distribution you can see something like this:
http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...udio-15-a.htmlSearch for related previous postings, before creating a new thread. If you create a new thread asking something that has already been asked, don't be surprised if the thread gets deleted without notice.
@macphail may have been too sarcastic, but still that does not give you the right to use such language, also pure_hate gave you a solution.
Back|track giving machine guns to monkeys since 2007 !
Do not read the Wiki, most your questions will not be answered there !
Do not take a look at the: Forum Rules !
You need to manually edit xorg.conf and put correct values under HorizSync, VertRefresh, and modes, but since you`re new to linux i guess you are looking for simpler solution, so if i were you i`d go for "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" which is explained in the beginning of xorg.conf itself.
If anything can go wrong, it will....
Sadly, you are operating from the assumption that users on here have some knowledge.
Purehate's answer of "fix-vesa" is great if you know WHAT vesa is AND how to fix it.
And, because i was launching from a USB drive and have NO idea how backtrack stores files, "2. Xorg -configure and then cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf" might as well have been written in Chinese.
Its all well and good standing high and mighty pouring scorn on us Windows users whom are either migrating or just "playing" around with a new operating system.
Its a difficult transistion and all he (and I) wanted was a bit of clear, understandable help. Not some facitious answer. Even the FAQs' arent that helpful for someone like me, it was only until i could get a working GUI that i could then start to unravel backtrack.
All he (we) wanted was a bit of direction. Learning an OS properly takes years,even longer learning a new one as things dont work the way you are used to.
If you cant contribute something helpful to a beginner, dont contribute at all and leave the path clear for those that can/will.
Well if you would have just read the first link I gave you, you would have realized that BackTrack requires advanced Linux skills, and we are not here to teach you Linux nor are we here to see you insult other members. A quick search on the forum or Google would have given you an answer.
The FAQ clearly states that if you have not used Linux before and are not familiar with it BackTrack is not the distribution for you, so I suggest you download Kubuntu/Ubuntu till you get familiar with Linux.

Post subject: Bengals 2005-2006 record
This is my very early look at how the games will turn out in the next season. (Bengals score listed first)
Week one at Cleveland:31-10 The Bengals Offense rolls against a Browns team that is not quite ready under their new coach. WIN
Week two vs. Minnisota:27-14 The Vikings offense looks lost without Randy Moss. Bengals start season 2-0. WIN
Week three at Chicago:31-30 Bengals win a close one with a last second field goal. WIN
Week four vs. Houston: 17-3 Bengals D looks sharper than the previous week as they get out to their best start in many years. WIN
Week five at Jacksonville:14-28 Bengals don't show for prime time and get handed their first loss of the season. LOSS
Week six at Tennessee:34-17 Bengals win easily against the probably McNair-less Titans. WIN
Week seven vs. Pittsburgh:21-24 The Bengals bad luck against the Steelers continues when a few costly turnovers lead to a loss. LOSS
Week eight vs. Green Bay:27-13Palmer shows off his bigger arm against Favre as the Bengals get the win. WIN
Week nine at Baltimore:38-7 Boller throws his 2 picks and the Bengals STUFF Lewis. WIN
Week eleven vs. Indy:41-31 Indy isn't quite as fast on the Bengals home turf and the Bengals are fresh off a bye. Cincy in a shootout. WIN
Week twelve vs. Baltimore:17-21 Baltimore gets their revenge in the second game of the season when the Bengals O can't get much going against that very strong D. LOSS
Week thirteen at Pittsburgh:17-14 The Bengals D can start to smell the playoffs and they hold Rothlisberger in check. WIN
Week fourteen vs. Clevelend:31-21 Cleveland O looks stronger but the Bengals D is just too much for Browns. WIN
Week fifteen at Detroit:21-18 Detroit almost stages a comeback but the Bengals best friend, the clock, helps them to a victory. WIN
Week sixteen vs. Buffalo:21-24 Losman takes over and looks good as he holds off playoff celebrations in Cincy. LOSS
Week seventeen at Kansas City:44-17 The Bengals O looks primed and ready for the playoffs as they take out the Defenseless Chiefs. WIN
Final record: 12-4
Well, there it is. My projection of next season. I know i'm gonna get ripped for some of my picks, and i pobably won't be right at all, but it was fun. Feel free give me your opinions.

He's only got us beating Pittsburgh once.
It looked pretty reasonable when I read it one game at a time, but you have us 7-1 on the road and 5-3 at PBS. I'd be quite surprised to see us drop 3 at home. But I'd be equally surprised to see us go down just once on the road.
It's way too early to call though, IMO. I tip my hat to you for trying to look into the crystal ball this early.

Like I have said before, 11-5 or 10-6 is what I feel. There are always those other elements, such as injuries, that can change a whole season though. Here's to hoping that the rest of the AFC North gets bitten by the injury bug early and often.

Were the piano to be abolished how could you have the exquisite joy of hearing faure in your own chamber?
The famous baritone, faure, was the Hol of the Paris production.
faure and Madame Patti gave some fine performances in London.
Should I keep them, send them to Mme. faure, or destroy them?
faure improved it somewhat by coating the lead plates with red-lead, thus increasing the capacity of the cell.
faure was born in 1830, and was the son of a singer at the church of Moulins.
Both M. and Mme. faure are extremely popular with the people, and are heartily cheered whenever they are seen in public.
I certainly had the decency to hold my tongue while faure was singing.
In the original production the fine rle of Rodrigo was taken by faure.
On the evening of the day after the funeral of President faure, my husband came into my room, and closed the door carefully.

Just tell him that it is working, that WEP is absolutely insecure.
You should check, if you chipset is supporting injection at all.
Seems like bosses around the world have real big security concerns about WLANs lately.
Im trying to break a wireless password so that I may show my boss how easy (or not) it is to crack. He wants to set up a wifi spot here at work and I want to make sure all the security bases are covered.
I have a Linksys WRT54G ver. 1.1 wireless router with all settings default with the exception of WEP encryption turned on. MAC address filtering is not enabled. I have a desktop computer with an Asus WL-138GE wireless nic that has a Broadcom chipset. I am running Backtrack 4 pre Final from a live CD and Im having a problem injecting IVs. These are the commands Im running:
- This gives me low, eth0, wmaster0 and wlan0. I assume wlan0 is the interface Im looking for.Code:Iwconfig
- Interface wlan0 with driver b43 [phy0] is reporting monitor mode disabled.Code:airmon-ng stop wlan0
- Spoofs the MAC to an Intel corporation. I use this because Ive read that some routers automatically reject MACs that are not real such as 00:11:22:33:44:55Code:macchanger --mac 00:02:B3:EC:EE:F2 wlan0

- Read xxxx packets (got 0 ARP requests and 0 ACKs), sent 0 packets (0 pps)
At this point Ive read that this command could also work:

If I attach another computer to the access point and start browsing the web my #Data goes up and I can crack the key but I want to break the password without a client attached. I thought maybe injection isnt working so I tried the following:
- It tells me injection is working and found my Linksys. With the direct probe request it gave me 30/30 100% for my Linksys.Code:Aireplay-ng -9 wlan0
Ive been searching and reading the replies on this board in an attempt to try to find a solution to this problem but I havent come across anything thats helped me. If anyone has any suggestions please post away. Thanks.
Just tell him that it is working, that WEP is absolutely insecure.
You should check, if you chipset is supporting injection at all.
Seems like bosses around the world have real big security concerns about WLANs lately.

And i've tried networking start command, i've tried a bunch of things, can somebody please help me? I'm really losing my patience and i desperately need an answer/fix

Reslicing the Corporate Pie
Anyone who follows financial news is likely to see a growing number of stories about corporations that are buying back their stock. What's missing from the individual stories is the larger picture: the large number of buybacks is reshaping the U.S. economy by rapidly shifting hundreds of billions of dollars from unproductive uses to new ventures.
This is an important part of the process by which the U.S. economy renews itself through the shrinkage and death of old companies and the rise of innovative new ones, says David Ikenberry, chair of the Department of Finance.
The U.S. has gone through this cycle of death and renewal many times. Perhaps the best example was the shift from the horse and buggy era to the age of automobiles. It takes a great deal of money for such shifts to take place. In the current economy, one of the sources of this capital is stock buybacks, says Ikenberry, who has studied the buyback phenomena extensively.
For instance, data calculated by Ikenberry and others showed that announced buybacks exceeded threequarters of a trillion dollars between 1995 and 1999, and the current buyback boom appears much bigger. Between mid-June and mid-July of this year alone, corporations announced 81 buybacks totaling more than $65 billion, according to data compiled by The Online Investor.
Moving Money
When a company buys back its own stock, it shifts cash from corporate coffers to the stockholders who sold their shares. The stockholders in turn look for new investments, and some of the cash winds up financing the next generation of innovative companies.
Stock buybacks are usually explained in the press as a mechanism that corporate management can use to increase earnings per share. The phenomenon of recycling capital from buybacks into the creation of new companies has been largely overlooked by the mainstream media.
"If you read the popular press, they largely trivialize this," says Ikenberry. "Instead, the press turns it into an earnings-per-share manipulation device. That misses the point. In place of that, this notion of recycling capital seems more appropriate. You think about the dot.com boom. Where did the capital for all that expansion come from? It came from this recycled capital."
Of course, not every investment of buyback cash works out. The dot.com boom was littered with failures, just as the early years of the automobile age were marked by failed car companies. But enough succeed to change the economy. "We put a lot of spaghetti up on the wall, and some of it stuck," says Ikenberry. "Google is now one of the largest companies in the world."
What Triggers Buybacks?
Buybacks have an impact because they add up to a lot of money, as Ikenberry observed in a journal article that summarized stock repurchase research done by himself and other economists. The piece, entitled "What Do We Know About Stock Repurchases?" appeared in the Spring 2000 edition of the Journal of Applied Corporate Finance. It was coauthored by Gustavo Grullon when both authors were at Rice University.
The paper also observed that in 1998, for the first time, corporations distributed more cash to investors through share repurchases than through cash dividends. And the trend toward buybacks hasn't slowed.
"Buybacks are going at a breakneck pace," Ikenberry says. "It appears to be much bigger than in the period from 1995 through 1999."
There are two reasons why the pace of buybacks could get particularly torrid: many corporations are sitting on cash hoards from strong corporate profits, and many stocks are cheap. When corporations have more money than they need for their operations, buybacks are one way to use it. And when stocks are cheap, it costs less for companies to buy back their own shares.
Why might stocks be cheap now and in the immediate future? One reason is that the fallout of the ongoing subprime mortgage debacle has shaken the stock market. Shockwaves from the growing number of defaults on mortgages issued to sub-prime borrowers has hit the stocks of mortgage companies, home builders, and Wall Street investment firms.
But those tremors have shaken other stocks as well, spurring a broad market decline in stock prices. Falling stock prices may give investors fits, but they also encourage companies to buy back their stock because it's cheaper to do so when prices are down. "We're going to see an avalanche of buyback announcements," Ikenberry predicts.
If the stock price downturn continues and triggers more buyback announcements, it would follow historical precedent. Buybacks rose after the big market crash of 1987, the mini-market crash of 1991, and the market disruption that followed the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001.
But in the long run, the sub-prime mortgage debacle could have the reverse effect on buyback programs if it leads to an economic slowdown that depresses corporate profits. If profits are down, corporations would have less money to spend on stock repurchases. In that case, Ikenberry says, fewer companies would complete buyback programs already announced, and you would see fewer announcements of new buyback programs.
Why would troubles in sub-prime lending damage the economy and corporate profits? First, U.S. home prices fell 3.2 percent in the second quarter of 2007. That was the sharpest rate of decline since Standard & Poor's created a nationwide housing price index in 1987. As prices have fallen, it's become harder for consumers to borrow against their homes to finance bigticket purchases, such as cars and vacations. Much of the current economic expansion has been attributed to consumer spending, and home equity loans have helped to fuel that spending. If consumers stop spending because they can't borrow against their homes, corporate profits would likely drop, along with the size of cash hoards that are used to buy back stock.
In addition, many homeowners are either losing their homes or on the brink of doing so. "If my mortgage is in trouble, the last thing I will do is buy a new car," says Ikenberry.
Pull Backs on Buybacks
Generally, companies have been reliable about following through on announced buybacks, though they usually hedge buyback announcements with language that allows a quick exit. For instance, they say they "intend" to follow through, and they don't say how quickly they will do it.
Finance professor Michael Weisbach studied the buyback phenomenon about a decade ago and found companies completed announced buyback programs about three quarters of the time. But sometimes, companies never repurchased any shares after making a buyback announcement or failed to finish buyback programs they had already started.
In his study, there were a number of reasons why that happened, Weisbach found. For example, "If the stock price went up after they made the announcement, it no longer made sense to do the buyback," says Weisbach. "Let's say you announce you'll buy back your stock because it's trading at $25 a share and you think it's worth $30 a share. If the price goes up to $30, then the reason for buying it back is no longer there."
There were three other reasons companies failed to follow through, he says. "They had a shock to their cash flow, they needed the money elsewhere, or they discovered a better use for it than buying back their stock."
That's where the sub-prime lending crisis represents a potential threat to buybacks. If sub-prime problems pull down the larger economy, corporations might quickly find they need the money elsewhere.
Repurchase, Return, Recycle
In the meantime, stock repurchases are churning along and helping to fuel the transformation of the U.S. economy—and in the process generating jobs to replace those lost to foreign competition, automation, and corporate downsizing.
And some of the money being recycled through buyback programs comes from companies that are part of an industry in decline.
"If a company is in a declining industry, that may be the best time to give the money back through stock repurchases," says Ikenberry. "Rather than put the money into buggy whips, they ought to give the money back to shareholders. Then the capital that's liberated from declining business can be recycled and put back into biotech or whatever the great new uses are."
Sidebar: 2 Views on Stock Repurchases
There are two ways to look at stock repurchase programs. One way is to view them from the perspective of corporate management. The other is to look at how buybacks impact the economy.
Management uses buybacks to "signal" their optimism about their firm's future and to indicate that they think their stock is undervalued in the marketplace. Managers also buy back stock to boost reported earnings per share, though economists say that this justification amounts to "an economic sleight of hand."
But the bigger picture focuses on how buybacks impact the larger economy. Finance professor David Ikenberry explained it this way in a paper he coauthored on the subject—"What Do We Know About Stock Repurchases?" from the Spring 2000 issue of the Journal of Applied Corporate Finance.
"A central premise of how capital is allocated in a free economy is that corporations should consider returning capital to shareholders when they have run out of value-added investments. Shareholders are then free to reallocate this capital to more productive uses. The reason for this is that shareholders have a broader view of economy-wide opportunities.
"In short, one important reason for share repurchases has to do with the natural birth and death process of companies in a capitalist system. Although corporate managers appear to use stock repurchases simply to address their own perceived undervaluation problems, the financial markets at large effectively use repurchases as a principal means of liberating capital from a moribund economic sector so that it can be channeled into more promising ones."
In the era before stock buybacks took off, corporations primarily returned excess cash to stockholders through dividends. But the tax laws now work against that because dividends are taxed as ordinary income. For individuals in high tax brackets, the tax bite on ordinary income can be quite steep. By contrast, any profits from stock buybacks are treated as capital gains. The top tax rate for capital gains is lower than the top tax rate for ordinary income. In addition, stockholders who don't want to incur any additional tax bill can simply opt not to sell their shares.
One reason for the surge in buybacks was a change in the regulatory climate.Before 1982, there were no regulatory guidelines for buybacks. Many firms avoided repurchases apparently because they were afraid they would be accused of manipulating stock prices if they did so.
In 1982, the Securities & Exchange Commission issued rule 10b-18, the first rule that set out guidelines for stock repurchases. This reduced the chance that a company would run into legal trouble if it bought back its stock. After rule 10b-18 took effect, the number of share buybacks surged. By 1998, for the first time, the total amount of cash spent on stock buybacks by U.S. companies was greater than the amount of cash that companies paid out in dividends.
The stock buyback movement, which began in the United States, has gone global, spreading to such countries as Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Germany.

I have a problem with my wireless card. At some wireless it is connecting but few seconds after getting ip it seems like disconnects. It is keeping the ip, i mean when i type ifconfig i see the same ip, but i cannot even ping gateway and of course i do not have internet. For the first 8-12 seconds is working, i can open pages, ping hosts, do everything normally but after this short period of time it seems down. And it has nothing to do with signal strength. I had the same problem when the access point was 0,5m. away.
I have tried anything. This problem showed after bt4 pre. At this distro (bt4 pre) it was working perfect. But at bt4, bt4 r1, bt4 r2, bt5 the problem remains. I have tried 3 wireless cards, one of them was awus036h and 2 pc's. I have the same problem either if i run it from live cd, installed on disk or VMWare.
I am desperate, any suggestion? I wander if anybody else faces the same problem, I have searched the forum many times but i did not find anything useful. And because i thing that this is a bug that's why i open a new thread here.
Thanks for your time and sorry for my English...

Hi, Buckwheat,
Thanks for a reasonable and encouraging response. In return I should reassure you that I do know - and am grateful - that Ven Thanissaro is a good person and doing great work (as are most seriously practising Theravadins).
However, when you say, "The thing I see Ven Thanissaro warning about is developing a sense of self around this idea of sacrifice, becoming attached to it, and then doing things to satisfy that craving that sacrifice both worldly and spiritual welfare," I have to disagree somewhat. It is something I can agree with but I have to say that is not an obvious interpretation of his words quoted earlier in this thread. And it is still selfish, anyway, saying, "I had better not get involved here or I may wreck my chances of attaining nibbana," OWTTE. (Did I make that obvious enough? )
I still believe that compassionate action in the world, when undertaken with mindfulness and the right motivation, is always consistent with the path and never an obstacle to practice - in fact, that some such engagement is essential to practice beyond the preliminary levels.
I suspect that for many members of the sangha, and almost certainly for Ven Thanissaro, that engagement takes the sole form of studying and passing on the dhamma - teaching, in fact. That's fine, but IMO it shouldn't be considered the only appropriate form of engagement.

Marshawn Lynch in attendance for Seahawks mini-camp - June 17, 2014

RENTON - RB Marshawn Lynch showed up to mini-camp after all.
Despite reports last week that Lynch was likely to skip the Seattle Seahawks mandatory mini-camp this week over contract concerns, Lynch was in attendance for the first day camp.
However, Lynch did not participate due to a sore ankle and is not expected to take part at all this week.
"That was a big story," head coach Pete Carroll quipped. "We expected him to be here and he's here."
Carroll wouldn't discuss specifics of their conversations with Lynch regarding the status of his contract.
"There's nothing in our conversations on the business side of it that we will talk about," Carroll said. "There's no reason to. We haven't talked about other guys in that regard so we're not doing that now."
Lynch has two years left on the four-year contract extension he signed with the team in 2012. However, it's unlikely Lynch plays under that contract in 2015 due to the size of the salary cap hit. Several reports said Lynch is seeking an increase in his pay for this season.
Lynch did not attend any of the team's voluntary workouts over the last several weeks. He would have been subject to approximately $70,000 in fines if he skipped the mandatory mini-camp.
Carroll said the team has a great relationship with Lynch and both sides have been in contract frequently this offseason. Carroll said they still view Lynch as "absolutely" being their workhorse running back again this season.
"We've never even approached that [subject] because it's never been a question," Carroll said. "Marshawn has been the guy for us and we love the way he plays and everything he brings to this team. He's never taken a step backwards for us. He's never disappointed us."
Kevin Williams gets to work with Seahawks:
The Seahawks finalized their deal with former Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle Kevin Williams on Monday and he was on the practice field for the first time with his new team.
Williams spent the first 11 years of his career in Minnesota before having his contract expire at the end of last season. Williams still had interest from the Vikings, as well as the New England Patriots and New York Giants, before electing to sign with Seattle.
"I think at the end of the day they are doing some great things with a bunch of young guys," Williams said. "A chance to play in a great rotation at the defensive line. I think it's the best fit for me."
Carroll said they plan to team Williams with DT Tony McDaniel on the field at the same time. Williams would be at the interior 3-technique spot he's accustomed to with McDaniel taking the DE Red Bryant role as the 5-technique in early downs against the run.
"We always have cherished big guys and there was a spot, we thought, for Kevin," Carroll said.
"We're not going to ask him to do anything different than what he's done. We're asking him to go in his role and see how much he can help us."
Williams has also proven to be a fairly prolific interior pass rusher throughout his career. He had a pair of double-digit sack seasons early in his career in Minnesota and has posted at least four sacks in seven of his 11 seasons.
Williams played 720 snaps with the Vikings last year. DE Michael Bennett led Seattle with 598 snaps played. Williams said the thought of playing fewer snaps as part of Seattle's rotation could be beneficial for him in being effective more consistently.
"I think if I'm playing 500 plays versus 700 plays at this age I can definitely still get after the quarterback," Williams said. "Excited to get going and we'll see. Hopefully I can earn some of those reps."
Carroll said they are still looking for their fourth pass rusher, and second interior pass rusher. Williams, along with DT Jordan Hill, will likely have a chance to earn time in that role.
Odds & Ends:
While Lynch was in attendance, LB Bruce Irvin was not. However, that isn't a massive surprise as he is just two weeks removed from hip surgery.
A handful of players did not participate in the practice on Tuesday.
- LB Malcolm Smith, LB Heath Farwell, S Kam Chancellor, T Russell Okung, TE Chase Dixon and WR Sidney Rice were held out. Dixon was the only new addition among the group. The remaining five have been recovering from offseason surgeries and have not been taking part in OTAs.
- WR Paul Richardson was back at practice after missing OTAs last week with a sore shoulder. WR Kevin Norwood appeared to injure his foot or ankle early in practice but returned after a brief trip to the locker room.
- DE Cassius Marsh and DT Andru Pulu were back with the team after missing all of OTAs due to their seniors classes not yet having graduated at UCLA and Eastern Washington University.
- CB Tharold Simon had another strong practice. He chased down WR Ricardo Lockette on a double move and swatted ball away from Lockette at the goal line on a deep pass from QB Tarvaris Jackson.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- The state's government watchdog says $255,000 in federal stimulus money for training Ohio workers might have been improperly spent.
Ohio Inspector General Randall Meyer's report released Tuesday questioned expenditures including wages and benefits that weren't documented as required and items such as cellphone bills and gift cards that weren't shown to be related to approved grant activities.
A release from the inspector general's office says the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services' Office of Workforce Development "failed to adequately oversee the $1 million federal grant for the Constructing Futures" jobs-training initiative for southwest Ohio.
Benjamin Johnson, a spokesman for Job and Family Services, which oversees federal stimulus spending, said Wednesday the agency is reviewing the report.
"In some cases there may be additional documentation that the local area has that justifies the costs," Johnson said. "And in some cases, questioned costs may turn out to be unallowable and we would look to recoup the money from the local area and return the money to the federal government."
Job and Family Services has 60 days to respond, Ohio Deputy Inspector General Carl Enslen said.
The report was the last of a series of three on investigations by the inspector general focusing on the Constructing Futures initiative. The other two reports focused on central Ohio and northwest Ohio. The initiative was established in 2009 to create pre-apprenticeship programs, including education and work training with an emphasis on minorities and women.
Meyer found potential misspending of almost $467,000 of the $2.8 million in federal stimulus money spent on Constructing Futures initiatives in central, northwest and southwest Ohio, Enslen said.
The review of the program, which included several organizations in southwest Ohio, found that a total of more than $138,000 of the questionable expenses were for staff wages and benefits.
Some of the specific agencies referred to in the report included the Cincinnati Labor Agency for Social Services and the Cincinnati-Hamilton County Community Action Agency. The report said they didn't provide enough documentation regarding stipends paid to people attending training classes, and the inspector general couldn't determine whether $82,557 in charges met grant requirements.
Cathy Metcalf, director of the labor agency, said she couldn't comment because she had not seen the report. The community action agency did not immediately return calls.
Other questioned spending included Allied Construction Industries and Straight 2 the Heart, both in Cincinnati. The report noted they were reimbursed thousands of dollars for expenditures including cellphones, land lines and Internet services without fully documenting that those bills were paid in keeping with the grant.
Allied Construction also bought gift cards for door prizes at training events, but the report said those purchases aren't approved under the grant. Terry Phillips, executive director of the nonprofit trade organization, said it will review the report but is comfortable with the work it did on the program.
A recording said a phone number listed for the nonprofit Straight 2 the Heart may have been disconnected.
The report also said the Easter Seals Work Resource Center in Cincinnati didn't provide documentation for more than $7,000 it received for staff wages and administrative costs. Officials at the center, now known as Easter Seals TriState, did not immediately return calls Wednesday.
The report has been forwarded to federal and other state officials for their review.
