What do and and
have to do with exploring health in space?
Ask the 44 librarians and after-school providers from Alabama and Mississippi who recently attended Explore! workshops at the Alabama Public Library Service in Montgomery, Alabama and the Mississippi Library Commission, Jackson, Mississippi. These fearless participants spent two days undertaking activities and learning the science behind the latest Explore! module, Health in Space. Sharing the Health in Space subject matter were Drs. Diane Byerly (Musculoskeletal Tissue Engineering Laboratory), Honglu Wu (Space Radiobiology Research Program), and Scott Smith (Nutritional Biochemistry Laboratory), all researchers at NASA's Johnson Space Center. The attendees did bean curls (arm curls with beans!) to simulate muscle resistance in space relative to that on Earth, modeled healthy and osteoporotic bones (not just a problem for older women, but one that also plagues astronauts), bounced Earth and Moon balls, tested radiation with UV Man, and learned that it's not just kids that use excuses for making unhealthy choices! No animals were harmed in the testing of these twelve activities, and a good time was had by all!
We cordially invite you to view the Health in Space module at http://www.lpi.usra.edu/education/explore/space_health/

The National Community Education Association (NCEA) offers the following opportunities for informal educators:
Find out about NCEA's Professional Endorsement Process for Community Educators
Administrative Competency Endorsement (ACE)
Earn designation as NCEA Fellow
Applied Professional Program Leadership Endorsement (APPLE)
National Recognition as Professional Program Leader
Online Graduate Certificate in Community Education
The C.S. Mott Foundation has found that more than 10,000 schools in this country have community education programs. Very few opportunities exist for formal training in community education that supports community school programs. This is especially urgent now with the advent of hundreds of new and continuing after-school programs being developed as a result of the No Child Left behind Act. In cooperation with the National Community Education Association (NCEA), the University of Wisconsin at River Falls is creating a new graduate-level certificate program in community education to meet this national need.
The Sun-Earth Day Web site has been updated with a set of exemplary 'make and take' activities for informal educators. All the activities have been tested with multiple audiences at different informal venues and have been very engaging and convey some of the key concepts related to the Sun-Earth connection. The activities can be found at:
Spanish Version of the Universe in the Classroom Available
The Spanish language version of the Fall 2006 issue of the Universe in the Classroom, "Mercury – its time has come" by Suzanne Gurton, is now available. You can view the Spanish language version or the English language version at The Universe in the Classroom website.
Active Galaxy Pop-Up
This is a pop-up book that shows the nucleus of an active galaxy in three dimensions. It also includes a "Just-So" story entitled "How the Galaxy Got its Jets," the Tasty Active Galaxy Activity (described below), and a glossary. It was created for younger students (ages 8 - 12), though it can certainly be enjoyed by the older crowd! You can print out the book and download the "Tasty Galaxy" activity from the website.
NASA/NSTA Web Seminars on Lunar Exploration – Free Web Seminars are being offered featuring scientists and education specialists from NASA. The presenters will help participants to link NASA science expertise and resources to engaging, hands-on, and inquiry-based classroom activities. Seminars cover a broad range of topics including weather and climate change, lunar science, earth science, space exploration, food and nutrition, living and working in space, and physics. For more information, visit NSTA Web Seminars.
The following activity is the first in a series of activities on the Moon. All activities in Becky Recommends! are designed for tight budgets and tight spaces, and are always both educational and fun!
This is a terrific activity that very simply illustrates why we always see the same face of the Moon, even though the Moon rotates and revolves around us. This activity was adapted from Physics Forum.
Place a penny and a quarter as shown above. The penny represents the Moon, and the quarter represents the Earth.
The time elapsed represents one month, or one lunar cycle.
Now, move the penny clockwise to this position (making sure Lincoln is always facing Washington)
Next move the penny to this position.
Then, move it around another quarter turn.
Last, move Lincoln back to his original position
(still facing Washington).
Did the Moon (penny) make a complete rotation on its axis?
(Yes. The Moon made one complete rotation on its axis)
Did the Moon (penny) make a complete revolution, or orbit, around the Earth? (Yes. The Moon made one complete orbit around the Earth)
What can you conclude about the Earth's rotation and revolution from this demonstration? (The Moon's rotation and revolution occur in the same time period, approximately one month. That is a very slo-o-o-w rotation compared to the Earth's 24 hour rotation cycle!)
Can you and a friend explain — or demonstrate — why we always see the same face of the Moon?
Lincoln = the Moon
Washington = the Earth
1 rotation of the Moon = 1 revolution (orbit) of the Moon

Hubble Repair Planned
Modified from NASA News
Shuttle astronauts will make one final house call to NASA's Hubble Space Telescope as part of a mission to extend and improve the observatory's capabilities through 2013. NASA Administrator Michael Griffin announced plans for a fifth servicing mission to Hubble Tuesday during a meeting with agency employees at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. "We have conducted a detailed analysis of the performance and procedures necessary to carry out a successful Hubble repair mission over the course of the last three shuttle missions. What we have learned has convinced us that we are able to conduct a safe and effective servicing mission to Hubble," Griffin said. "While there is an inherent risk in all spaceflight activities, the desire to preserve a truly international asset like the Hubble Space Telescope makes doing this mission the right course of action."Is the Moon Still Alive?
The flight is tentatively targeted for launch during the spring to fall of 2008. A team of scientists led by Prof. Peter Schultz of Brown University has announced evidence for fresh geologic activity on the Moon. Although lunar volcanism was supposed to have ceased billions of years ago, there's at least one location on the Moon known as Ina where "outgassing" may have happened within the past 10 million years--and may still be happening today.
The scientists observed that Ina has sharp edges, which is unusual as most surfaces have been worn down by the constant rain of meteroids on the surface of the Moon. Ina also has few craters, which suggests a young terrain, and its coloring is bright and similar to those of young craters, although it is not an impact crater.

"Ina was first noticed by Apollo astronauts," says Prof. Peter Schultz of Brown University. Pictured right, "it's shaped like a letter D about two kilometers wide."
New Close Up of the Sun
Modified from SCIENCE@NASA
The Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) onboard Japan's Hinode spacecraft has opened its doors and started snapping pictures. Shown below is a "first light" image taken Oct. 23rd. The light and dark blobs are solar granules, masses of hot gas that rise and fall like water boiling atop a hot stove. Each granule is about the size of a terrestrial continent. SOT has no trouble seeing such detail from Earth-orbit 93 million miles away.
Hinode (Japanese for Sunrise, formerly known as Solar B) was launched on Sept 22nd from the Uchinoura Space Center in Kyushu, Japan. "It's on a mission to study the sun — specifically sunspots, which give rise to powerful flares and solar storms," says John Davis, the NASA Solar-B project scientist at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. Astronomers have been studying sunspots since the days of Galileo four hundred years ago, but they still don't know how to predict flares. Data from Hinode may solve the mystery.

Ozone Hole Reaches Record Size
Modified from
Earth Observatory
From September 21–30, 2006, the average area of the ozone hole was the largest ever observed, at 10.6 million square miles," said Paul Newman, atmospheric scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Newman was joined by other scientists from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in reporting that the ozone hole over the polar region of the Southern Hemisphere broke records for both area and depth in 2006. A little over a week after the ozone hole sustained its new record high for average area, satellites and balloon-based instruments recorded the lowest concentrations of ozone ever observed over Antarctica, making the ozone hole the deepest it had ever been.
The ozone hole was unusually large and long-lived in 2006. While human-produced compounds break down the ozone hole by releasing chlorine and bromine gases into the atmosphere, the temperature of the Antarctic stratosphere causes the severity of the ozone hole to vary from year to year. Colder-than-average temperatures result in larger and deeper ozone holes, while warmer temperatures lead to smaller ones. In 2006, temperatures plunged well below average, hovering near or dipping below record-lows. These unusually cold temperatures increased the size of the ozone hole by 1.2 to 1.5 million square miles, according to an analysis completed by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). If the stratospheric weather conditions had been normal, the ozone hole would be expected to reach a size of about 8.9 to 9.3 million square miles, about the surface area of North America.
The ozone layer protects life on Earth by blocking harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun. The "ozone hole" is a severe depletion of the ozone layer high above Antarctica, so these regions may have received more ultraviolet light than usual. The 1987 Montreal Protocol banned ozone-depleting chemicals, but the long lifetime of those chemicals means that the ozone layer will not recover for several decades.

Nazareth frontman Dan McCafferty still sick
Listen to Nazareth on iHeartRadio
Nazareth frontman Dan McCafferty continues to battle health problems.
MetalTalk.net says the Scottish group had to cut their performance short at the Summerdays Festival in Switzerland last Friday because the 66-year-old singer was having trouble breathing. The band then canceled their appearance Sunday at a Belgium festival.
The Belgium festival organizer tells the "Gazet Van Antwerpen" that McCafferty was admitted to a hospital in Switzerland after suffering his second stroke "in a short time."
Nazareth went through a similar incident last month in Canada. McCafferty experienced breathing difficulties and collapsed on stage just moments after the band launched a concert in Cranbrook, British Columbia.
At that time the band made no announcement on Dan's condition, and so far Nazareth hasn't made an official statement on the latest incident. However, the tour page has been removed from their website.

- $A to boost flat business sector: RBA
- More Asia claims could expose banks: RBA
- Danger signs for housing market
The Reserve Bank has warned banks and households to remain prudent with their lending and borrowing practices amid record low rates.
With house prices rising at their quickest pace in three years, the central bank today gave another signal it was closely watching how the property market reacted to record low interest rates, cautioning home-buyers not to expect a repeat of the bumper house price growth of the 1990s and early 2000s.
''An increase in housing market activity more generally is not surprising given reductions in interest rates. However, it is important that those purchasing property maintain realistic expectations of future dwelling price growth,'' the bank said in its half-yearly Financial Stability Review.
''In contrast to the decades leading up to the crisis – when dwelling prices grew rapidly in response to disinflation and financial deregulation – long-run future growth in dwelling prices might be expected to be more in line with income growth.''
The comments are a reference to the fact that house prices surged over the 1990s due to one-off factors that made credit much cheaper.
With the introduction of an inflation target of 2 to 3 per cent, interest rates fell sharply over the 1990s.
At the same time financial deregulation sparked increased competition between lenders, which further drove down the cost of credit.
The RBA said data showed that banks had broadly maintained their lending standards since late 2011, although the share of high loan-to-valuation ratio approvals by smaller institutions such as credit unions and building societies was trending upwards.
''The relatively modest rate of growth in credit, and hence bank balance sheets, poses a strategic challenge for Australian banks,'' the RBA said.
''Of particular importance is that banks maintain prudent risk appetite and lending practices, especially in the current low interest rate environment.''
''There are some signs that households are taking on more risk in their investment decisions,'' the RBA said.
''While increased financial risk-taking is an expected outcome of lower interest rates, it is important that households understand, and appropriately account for, the financial risks they take.
''Given that household indebtedness and gearing are still around historically high levels, continued prudent saving and borrowing behaviour would help support households' ongoing financial resilience.''
The Reserve's latest comments on the housing market come as top regulators closely monitor how households and banks react to the slump in the cash rate to a 60-year low of 2.5 per cent.
It also noted the sharp increase in purchases by property investors in recent months, highlighting home sales in the Sydney market that were exceeding expectations by ''wide margins.''
Figures from RP Data-Rismark show the rolling three month gain in capital city house prices was 4 per cent, the highest three-month capital gain since April 2010.
Last week the assistant governor Malcolm Edey last week said talk of a housing bubble was ''unrealistically alarmist, saying that on average, home prices had risen in line with incomes over the past ten years.

Lourdes Leon's New Look & 5 Other Celebs Rocking Green Hair
We don't know if it's a case of teen angst or a latent desire to follow in mom's (former) footsteps, but Madonna's 16-year-old daughter Lourdes Leon is a certified badass in the making. The teenager has shirked her famous mother's strict, borderline puritanical upbringing in favor of cigarettes, piercings, handsome show-biz boyfriends, and now… green hair! Lola was spotted out in her hometown of New York City over the weekend showing off her new verdigris locks, and I have to say, I'm kind of into it. In fact, I had green hair myself when I was 16! So yeah, consider me 100 percent on board with Lourdes's new look.
Plenty of celebs love themselves some unnaturally-colored hair, and green is a particular favorite. Check out similar looks on Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and more in the gallery above!

No Fair
Life is not fair.
Saturday at about 7:30 a.m., my wife Sharon and I left to go to the Florida State Fair in Tampa.
I had plans to take photos of award-winning cattle and to have lots of fun.
I drove our Jeep on Alt. 27 to catch I-75 at Ocala, but it was very foggy.
I decided to go down U.S. Highway 19 instead, because the traffic would be slower and lighter than on the Interstate.
Shortly after going through Chiefland on 19, we smelled smoke.

How Ohio State and Texas A&M Met in the 1999 Sugar Bowl
The buzzer ending the Florida State-Ohio State game, the final Sugar Bowl of the three-year Bowl Alliance, also sounded the start of a new postseason system.
The Conference Commissioners Association began putting together a more intricate – and complete – ranking to determine a true national championship just a year into the Bowl Alliance setup. This wasn't possible until the Rose Bowl agreed in 1997 to join forces with the participants of the Bowl Alliance, meaning the other major bowls, in a format to be called the Bowl Championship Series.
Because of the high marks received by the bowls (Sugar, Fiesta and Orange) sanctioned originally by the Alliance, and after each underwent another interview process, all were again entered into a rotation. They were joined by the Rose, which freed up the best teams in the Pac-10 and Big Ten, making as close as possible, without a playoff system, a true national championship pairing.
One of the major changes was the concession by the Commissioners that each bowl would again tie-up with the champion of its natural conference, as they did before the Alliance, placing, say, the winner of the SEC back in the Sugar, unless that team was involved in the No. 1 vs. No. 2 game. That change would ease the possibility of weak match-ups with little national or local interest.
Under the new format, polls, computer rankings, strength of schedule and, obviously, the won-loss records were components in determining the top two teams.
The ranking system consisted of the Associated Press, and USA Today/ESPN polls, a combination of the computer rankings compiled by Jeff Sagarin and published in USA Today, the Seattle Times and the New York Times.
It was a formula that kept fans guessing who would play for No. 1 in the Fiesta Bowl (the first title site in the rotation) throughout the '98 season. The Sugar drew the BCS' second spot, which meant New Orleans would host the first – or the last, depending on how you looked at it – title game of the millennium, that football showcase scheduled for January 4, 2000.
The preseason and near-universal favorite for the championship was Ohio State, a team manned by such standouts as linebacker Andy Katzenmoyer, guard Rob Murphy, receivers David Boston and Dee Miller, and cornerback Antoine Winfield.
The Buckeyes were ranked No. 1 for most of the season – until losing a 17-point lead and absorbing a 28-24 defeat to four-touchdown underdog Michigan State on Nov. 7.
Texas A&M clawed and scratched its way into the national limelight, defeating No. 2-ranked Nebraska (28-21) during the regular season, then upsetting No. 1-ranked Kansas State (36-33) in double overtime in the Big 12 championship game.
Undefeated Tennessee, the SEC champion, made it to the Fiesta against 11-1 Florida State, and the third-ranked Buckeyes (10-1) and eighth-ranked Aggies (11-2) were ticketed to New Orleans – with visions of a possible share of the national championship still dancing in Ohio State's head. (It's notable that the Sugar Bowl selection committee never seriously considered hometown team Tulane, unbeaten for the first time since 1925, because of the Green Wave's weak strength of schedule.)
John Cooper, the Buckeye coach, made the argument that should his team, a 12-point favorite, win convincingly, and should second-ranked FSU defeat the Vols in an unimpressive game, the nation's three highest-rated teams (Tennessee, Florida State , and Ohio State) would all have one less and the Buckeyes had a case that they were as good or better than anyone. The BCS championship would, of course, automatically go to the winner of the Tennessee-FSU game, as the system was designed, but Cooper seemed to be trying to impress the AP voters.
"If Tennessee lost and there would be three teams with a loss, I'm not one to take handouts, but why not us as champions?" Cooper mused. "Until that door is completely shut, anything's possible."
A&M, naturally, didn't take well to Ohio State's looking past the Aggies and to the polls.
"We've been the underdog all season long," Kyle Lednicky, A&M's long snapper, retorted. "We were almost a three-touch-down underdog against Kansas State. We proved everybody wrong, and we plan to do it again."Story excerpted from the book "Sugar Bowl Classic: A History" by Marty Mulé, who covered the game and the organization for decades for the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

try using an ARPspoofer/poisoner (google it)
I'm using BT4 with a Realtek 8187 chipset USB wireless dongle.
Using Kismet in channel (H)opping mode, it sees plenty of APs on several channels.
I then find MY home router on the list and (L)ock Kismet onto that channel. Then I fire up Wireshark.
I see enough packets to convince me that Monitor mode is working successfully. Lots of BROADCAST packets with the SSID, some ARP traffic (Who Has x.x.x.x? Tell x.x.x.x), etc.
The problem is - I'm not seeing ANY HTTP traffic! I know it exists on the network. To be sure, I even turned on the Wifi mode of my Touch Pro "smart" phone, verified that I was indeed connected to MY router (and therefore on the correct channel), and surfed a bunch of websites. Not a single HTTP packet, DNS packet, anything showed up in Wireshark. Just lots of "Broadcast" packets.
BTW The phone was right next to the monitoring computer (less than 2 feet), and the router was over 20 feet away, so range / signal strength shouldn't have been an issue.
I closed Kismet and Wireshark kept capturing (wlan0) on the same channel. In console I typed in "iwconfig wlan0" and it showed that the interface was on the channel. I typed "iwconfig -i wlan0 channel 6 mode monitor" (or whatever exact command would accomplish that - I'm new and always look directly at the help for the verbiage but don't always remember it exactly) and got no error messages.
I must be missing a setting on the network card? The reason I'm thinking this is that this reminds me of Packet Radio from my Ham Radio days. (Packet radio = wireless modems back before the internet).
My packet radio wireless modem could be set to "monitor" mode with decreasing levels of verbosity. For example, on a scale of 1 to 6, it might be:
1. All traffic
3. Traffic broadcast by a BBS
6. Only traffic which is intended for you
each level showing less and less data. Make sense? It's as if my card is "set" to only receive certain types of data?
By the way - NO capture filters in Wireshark. No display filters either. I can post a quick packet dump file if necessary, the output to any commands, etc. I'm willing to do my part to find the answer.
I must have had 2 instances of Kismet running or something. I didn't see it in ps, and didn't scour through all of ps -augx.
But anyhow. Working fine as intended now after a reboot.
Writing this from within BT4 now, which means my next post will be in the "Working Hardware section!"
There's no need for monitor mode.
Just put the interface into managed mode
then connect to your networkCode:iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
now you have 2 options:
> arpspoof
> ettercap
arpspoof may be easier to use, since it's only meant for arp poisoning (ettercap has other functions, Google it if u want)
example:Code:root@bt:~# arpspoof Version: 2.4 Usage: arpspoof [-i interface] [-t target] host
in the target you type the ip of the victim(the PC you want to sniff data from), and in the host you write the ip of your gateway. that will tell the victim that you are the gateway, so all the data will be redirected to you.Code:root@bt:~# arpspoof -i wlan0 -t 192.168.1.23 192.168.1.1
Now open a new shell, arpspoof again but now change the ip's like these:
target -> gateway
host -> victim
so that the gateway thinks we are the "victim"
Don't worry about the victim connectivity, arpspoof will redirect all the data it receives to the right ip address.
Now you can open wireshark and see all that data flowing like water
Hope it helps
And sorry for my english...
No problem. Your english is very good! :-)
I will try all of that next time I'm logged in.
What you described is basic APR, which I appreciate. And I'm curious to see if arpspoof works better than other programs I've tried in the past.
However, Monitor mode is important to me. Maybe it's my radio background using scanners. But it also doesn't involve you associating with the router. You know, "The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear." I'm sure you've heard that before. :-)
yeah, you're right. About monitor mode, I've seen a tutorial on how to do it. I know that to do this you have to use airodump-ng to capture packets and airdecap-ng to decrypt data, using the WEP/WPA key, I think...
ok, I found the link: hxxp://forums.remote-exploit.org/newbie-area/7393-packet-sniffing-my-network.html
Hope it helps

Jael - from Seattle , WA
Start by using a firm-textured cake, such as pound cake. Arrange the layers so that the top layer is the perfectly browned crumb from the bottom of the pan. Before covering with fondant, cakes should be lightly iced with buttercream icing to seal in moisture and to help fondant stick to the cake. This will also smooth out any imperfections in the cake surface.
Now you're ready for the fondant! First knead it until it is a workable consistency. Then, lightly dust your smooth work surface. Be sure to lift and move or rotate the fondant as you roll it so that it doesn't stick to the surface. Gently lift the fondant over the rolling pin to move and position it on the cake. Finally, use a Fondant Smoother or gently use your hands to smooth and shape the fondant on the cake.

Phoenix (December 6, 2010) — Two homeowners from Mesa's Sunland Village community questioned their homeowners association board about some of its actions and in return received a bill for nearly $5,000 from the HOA to cover its legal fees that were incurred to provide the answers.
Homeowners Pat Haruff and Barbara Worbington believed that their HOA board was not acting within the best interests of the association's members. They contacted the board several times with inquiries but later decided to hire an attorney to speak on their behalf when they found a lack of progress in receiving answers to their questions.
The homeowners' attorney submitted a letter to the HOA outlining six complaints about some of the board's actions and expenditures, one of which was a $5,500-expenditure to create a non-profit, charitable corporation that would allow the HOA to accept gifts from member estates and other donations without any tax penalties. Haruff and Worbington contend the charity was in violation of state and federal law. Other complaints addressed the board's failure to accurately record minutes of recent meetings and the conducting of "mini" closed door board meetings before regular open sessions.
The homeowners did not file suit against the HOA, but the submittal of this inquiry letter to the board's attorney resulted in a demand to pay $4,867.50 to cover the legal costs the board incurred in answering their grievances. HOA attorney Jason Smith contends that the homeowners did not follow the procedure of notifying the association of their complaints and this bill for legal costs will help Haruff and Worbington to "fully understand their mistakes and misunderstandings that caused them to assert the baseless claims." In a response letter to the homeowners' attorney, Smith further noted a lack of merit to their complaints. "The issues raised were considered to be frivolous and harassing by the board and not designed to better the community or to improve the governance of the association," he said in his letter.
State Sen. Eddie Farnsworth believes that HOAs serve a useful purpose if operated property. He said the turmoil at Sunland appears to be indicative of a widespread problem among many Arizona HOAs. As a longtime advocate of restricting HOA powers, Farnsworth often finds the issue to be a difference of opinion between members and the HOA on various matters. Members want access to information and HOAs generally decide that members are not entitled to such information. He has also found a discrepancy between the two sides' opinions on the matter of a member's right to question the use of HOA funds. He identifies the crux of the issue to be a lack of transparency and oversight among problematic HOAs.
Former state Sen. Tom Freestone, who initiated Arizona's first legislative inquiries into questionable HOA practices several years ago, said the association's claim against the women exemplifies one of the most prolific complaints about many HOAs – their overreaching actions to penalize homeowners with excessive charges for minor incidents.

SAN BERNARDINO - A court hearing for four people suspected in a January 2011 double homicide in Redlands was continued Tuesday until next year.
Anthony Legaspi, John David Salazar, Jose Ramon Lara and Adrian Powers were present and in custody inside a San Bernardino Superior Courtroom Tuesday for a pre-preliminary hearing, which was continued until Jan. 29 because a necessary witness was not available, according to court records.
A preliminary hearing, where a judge will hear testimony and decide if the case will go to trial, is tentatively scheduled for Jan. 31.
Legaspi, Salazar, Lara and Powers are accused in a double homicide that happened in Redlands. Quinn McCaleb and Andrew Jackson were fatally shot and two other teens were wounded.

Court rules hospital can take over limited guardianship of girl with leukemia
(Akron) - An appeals court in Ohio is again siding with a hospital that is seeking to force a 10-year-old Amish girl to resume chemotherapy after her parents decided to stop the treatments.
The court ordered that a registered nurse take over limited guardianship for the girl and decide whether she should continue treatments for leukemia.
The appeals court ruling issued last week says the wishes and beliefs of the parents can't outweigh the rights of the state to protect the child. The decision says the guardian should be appointed right away.
The girl's parents, who live in Medina County, stopped chemotherapy because they say the effects were terrible. They say they opted for "natural" medicines.
Doctors at Akron Children's Hospital say the girl will die without chemotherapy.

Bumgarner accepts position of new Men's and Women's Tennis coachOctober 15, 2010
Comes to Brevard as a former collegiate All-American and Tennis Professional
Brevard, N.C. - Brevard College is pleased to announce the hiring of Nicole Bumgarner as the Head Coach of the Brevard College Tornados Men's and Women's Tennis programs.
"Nicole has earned a tremendous amount of respect within the Brevard Community not only in the realm of tennis but as a community leader and ambassador," commented BC Athletic Director Kim Pate. "We look forward to continuing the success of our men's and women's tennis program under Coach Bumgarner's leadership."
Bumgarner comes to Brevard from her previous position as Assistant General Manager and Head Teaching Professional at Brevard Health and Racquet Club.
"I'm excited to be working with both the men's and women's programs, in developing them as collegiate players and quality student-athletes both on and off the court," commented Coach Bumgarner. "I look forward to coming into a quality program and improving on what Coach Thomson has accomplished as we look to take it to the next level."
Bumgarner's previous tennis experience includes working as the Tennis Director at High Hampton Inn in Cashiers, N.C., as well as working with the Brevard Racquet Club from 1981-1988 and more recently, 2007-2010.
Bumgarner also served as an Assistant Tennis Professional at the Hendersonville Country Club from 1993-2000, and was a teacher and coach at Brevard High School and Davidson River School, teaching Health and Physical Education, Biology and Life Skills, while also coaching Tennis, Track and Softball.
Other experience by Bumgarner includes serving at Temple Baptist Church as a Family and Youth Minister from August of 2005 to December of 2007, serving as the Transylvania Community Hospital Volunteer Coordinator from 1999-2005 and was the Whitewater Cove Group Home Director from 1996-1999.
Bumgarner also implemented the Safe and Drug Free Schools grant for Transylvania County Schools from 1993-1998 as a Safe Schools Coordinator.
Bumgarner's collegiate experience includes being selected as an All-American in singles play at Peace College, while also being named an All-American honorable mention in doubles play in her freshman year. She then transferred to Appalachian State University, where she played #1 singles and doubles before her career was ended after three shoulder surgeries.
"Tennis has always had a lot of community support from Brevard, and I'd like to build on that support to bring more people to the matches," said Bumgarner. "In turn, I think it leads the student-athletes here at Brevard College to get a great college experience, and not just with the school, but really makes them feel at home when they think of Brevard."

Your chipset maybe fully supported under backtrack and later linux kernels, however it may work slightly differently comparing to the owners of rtl8187l chipset. There are differences between these chipsets and the support status for rtl8187l has already matured.
It shouldn't take 25 seconds for airodump-ng to start up, there could be many issues for this but I personally do not own a wireless device with rtl8187b chipset. I think the problem may lie anything from USB speed support to host OS hardware configuration and guest OS hardware configuration. Instead of using airmon-ng, I'd try running airodump-ng on wlanX interface and see how long that may take.
There is an option in aireplay-ng to test injection, and those examples can vary depending on situation such as:
- clients associated to the APs or not
- signal strength between your wireless usb dongle and the actual AP
- any other interferences such as wireless phones, keyboards, mice that may use the same frequencies as the wireless network i.e. ones run on 2.4Ghz band.
From the output when you see:
Read 6200 packets (got 0 ARP requests and 345 ACKs), sent 0 packets..(0 pps)
It simply means that there's no client to sent ARP requests and therefore it won't send any packets because there's no ARP data to relay back.
When you use airmon-ng you see rtl8187, that is because its the name of the driver, read this:
rtl8187 - Linux Wireless

Anxious for twins
I'm not yet pregnant but my dad has a twin and my husband has distant relatives who are twins so we often get teased that we will have twins. According to my dad, in our family, the twin births happen after every other generation so it will be our turn to bear twins.
I like the idea of having 2 kids right away so they automatically have playmates but I have some qualms about the whole ordeal. They said that it will be more expensive to have twins compared to single-child births.
Can you give me an idea how to save money despite having twins so none of them and their welfare will be sacrificed?
Looking forward to your responses!

Anxious for twins.......I do not have twins myself, however I do have 5 children. The most important things you can provide your children is to breastfeed and allow your children to self wean. You will save so much money and time and effort if you breastfeed.
Your children will have less allergies and general sickness.
They will be much healthier with breastmilk.
Good Luck with your twins

Hi, I am a mother of 7 year old Twins, they are girls and a blessing. The saying twins happen every other generation is not true, lol, my mother had a set of twins, they are younger then me, but I then had a set of twins. lol. It was a shock because I was always told the say thing. So don't depend on that. Now I think I remember my midwife saying that It is more like for an individual to have a set of twin or multiples if it runs on the mother side, now like I said my twins are now 7 years old so I may be wrong.
Having twin in my option is easier then have a single child. After my twins I had a little boy, I prayed that I would have twin boy the second time around but It just didn't happen. It was rough the first month on me after giving birth, they where my first and I tried to do everything myself with out asking for any help, but after I got them on a schedule and all it was a breeze. I can't give you any ideas on saving money but I can say that you don't have to have two of everything there are a few thing that having two will be helpful.
Hope this will give you some thought on having twins. They are a blessing!!!

Thank you for sharing your experiences on your twin girls djroyals908 - I'm sure that this will be encouraging and helpful for many of our forum members.
Yes my understanding is also that it is the maternal family history of twins which increase the likelihood of having twins.
Warm wishes to you and your family,

Occupation: Assistant Research Professor, University of Nevada—Reno
What did you want to be when you were growing up?
I don't remember what I wanted to BE (except for a short period when I wanted to be a long haul trucker), but I did have things that I wanted to DO: see a whale shark, visit Madagascar, learn to SCUBA dive. At some point all the things that I wanted to do when I was a child mixed with my interests in school (biology, languages, current events) and the summer jobs I had in college (as a research assistant working on native fish conservation projects in Arizona) and in the end I went to graduate school and studied to become a conservation biologist. I also remember loving wildlife TV programs when I was young, so my interest in biodiversity and curiosity about the natural world was always strong. I would wake up early, before anyone else in my family, and watch the Wild Wild World of Animals which for some reason came on at 6 a.m. They must have been re-runs. I loved the show and I still remember the theme music and I could still watch 6 hours of those shows back to back and love every minute of it.
How did you get started in your field of work?
In many ways, my career path was similar to that of many researchers: high school, undergraduate, graduate school, post-doc, university. But it didn't feel that straightforward. In my case, I think one thing just led to another which led to another.
My interest in water began at a very early age, when my mom first taught me how to swim. I was looking at an old "baby book" the other day and there was an entry that said that I learned how to swim before I could walk. It said something like "he can swim as far as he can hold his breath" (which leads me to suspect I wasn't really swimming, mom, but sinking). In Arizona, where I grew up, all kids love water because it's so hot during the summer. I'd spend my summers at a neighbor's house swimming in their backyard pool, or later, hiking and camping, always somewhere where there was water. Then, when I was in eighth grade I wrote letter to aquariums all over the U.S. asking if they had volunteer positions. As luck would have it, an aquarium in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, did have an intern program and I had some family friends who lived in Cape Cod.
Later, in college (at the University of Arizona), I got a job with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Cooperative Research Unit, as a research assistant helping graduate students with their research on Arizona's native fish. One summer I helped look at the impacts of invasive species on humpback chub (an Arizona native) and the next summer we studied the impacts of controlled releases (a.k.a. artificial floods) from Glen Canyon Dam on flannelmouth sucker (another Arizona native fish) distribution and movements. Those summer jobs really solidified my interest in freshwater biodiversity, and I was especially curious about endangered species issues since so many of the native fish species of the desert Southwest are endangered.
After the University of Arizona, I applied for a Fulbright scholarship to Thailand to investigate the impact of 12 proposed dams on the Mekong River's migratory fish species, then after a year in Thailand, entered into a Ph.D. program at the University of California to continue that research. After seven years of graduate school (yikes!) and probably 20 trips to SE Asia, I completed my Ph.D. and started a post-doc at the University of Wisconsin. The post-doc focused on the conservation of the world's largest trout, the taimen. After my post-doc, I found a job at the University of Nevada—Reno, and further formalized my ties with National Geographic. For the past four years, I have been employed as an assistant research professor at UNR, working mostly on a National Geographic-sponsored project on the ecology and conservation of large-bodied freshwater fish.
What inspires you to dedicate your life to freshwater?
That's good question and it's a difficult question to answer because my inspiration comes from many experiences I've had over the years, beginning a long time ago. As far back as I can remember, I've loved water (especially clean, flowing water). And I've always thought fish were fascinating—they're beautiful, grow in every shape and sizes, occupy nearly all aquatic habitats on Earth; some can fly, others breathe air, some can deliver a deadly sting or shock, while still others, like salmon and sturgeon, make epic migrations from feeding to spawning grounds. So for a biologist and someone who loves the outdoors, freshwater fish seemed like the perfect animals to study—diverse, widely distributed, economically important, and interesting from an ecological and evolutionary perspective.
Of course over the years it's become much more than that—I feel like my work has become more personal, and also more urgent. Forty percent of freshwater fish in North America are in danger of extinction. A third of European species are endangered. And about 70 percent of megafish species are threatened. That's 700 endangered freshwater fish species in North America and 200 in Europe. It's to the point where, when I get together for an annual meeting with other fish biologists, every year someone reports the extinction of another species. It's very hard to hear that and not want to do something to try to help the fish. In the past ten years, I've seen the Chinese paddlefish, possibly the world's largest freshwater fish, disappear, and over the past 20 years I've seen the catch of critically endangered Mekong giant catfish drop 95 percent. It got to the point in 2003 and 2004 where every death would leave me sad and frustrated.
My passion for freshwater comes partially from my love, fascination, and curiosity about aquatic habitats and their inhabitants, and partially from a recognition that freshwater fish are one of nature's true underdogs, at least in terms of the threats they face from growing human population that needs freshwater in increasing amounts every day. I get inspiration from a recognition that freshwater fish need help and the hope that we are headed in the right direction, i.e. that we can find balance between our needs as humans and the needs of others (in this case the others equal all the other animals that rely on healthy freshwater ecosystems to survive).
What's a normal day like for you?
Every day is different. When I am at the university, I spend my time reading scientific papers, corresponding with other scientists or people at National Geographic, writing articles and reports, planning trips, and attending meetings. Aside from my office work at the university, I also travel as often as I can to either listen to presentations or give presentation myself, almost always about my interest and research on freshwater biodiversity, especially endangered fish.
When I am in the field, I spend almost all of my time on or near the water. In Southeast Asia, most of my field sites are near populated areas and I rely on fishers to help gather the information that I need.
My most recent trip was to the Khone Falls in Laos, the only waterfalls on the main channel of the Mekong River. The Khone Falls area is one of the most important sites for migratory fish—and people who depend on migratory fish for their livelihoods—in the entire Mekong River Basin. Over 200 species of fish occur at the falls, and of those fish, the majority are believed to be migratory. Every year, millions of fish struggle to climb the falls, and fishermen in the area take advantage of these annual movements to harvest the fish in huge numbers. I was at the falls to learn more about Sahong Channel, one of over a dozen paths over the falls. Sahong Channel is believed to be the most important channel for both dry season and rainy season migrations of several dozen species of fish—including true giants like the critically endangered Mekong giant catfish. I was at the falls to talk with fishermen about the patterns of migrations they see over the course of one year (small carps first, then small catfish, then big catfish), the timing of the migrations, the methods used to catch the fish, and the sizes and amounts of the harvest. I was also lucky enough to catch the Mekong River at the exact time when it flows most clear, which meant I could dive and see fish underwater, watch the migration with my own eyes, and even observe some of the local fishing techniques like spear-fishing and net fishing over waterfalls. The Khone Falls is truly one of a kind in the world—a World Heritage site lies just upstream—and Sahong channel is the most important of the pathways over the falls. Unfortunately Sahong channel is the site of a dam that would sever the connection between the fertile floodplains downstream in Cambodia and spawning groups above the falls in Laos. While there isn't enough information to gauge accurately, the cost to fisheries could actually outweigh the benefits of the dam.
Do you have a hero?
I know it sounds like a cliché but when I was very young I really liked Jacques Cousteau. It wasn't the way he looked or talked or anything about him—it was that he was able to explore oceans and reefs and then share it with people like me. Without his shows, I wouldn't have had any idea what lived in the ocean and so his programs opened up a whole new world to a young boy who was endlessly fascinated by marine life. I'm sure there were thousands of other children just like me. I also liked his books—I had one of his books about dolphins that I'd read over and over. And then of course when I got older I learned to SCUBA dive and that was probably also because of the influence of those shows.
As I've gotten older, I've noticed other people who've really worked hard and made, what I feel is a positive difference in the world. E.O. Wilson comes to mind immediately, also Daniel Pauly and Ransom Myers. Recently I watched The Cove, and while Ric O'Barry's not one of my heroes, I really thought they did a good job with the story. And they had an important message.
If you could have people do one thing to help save freshwater, what would it be?
Take an interest! Don't ignore it! Do something—it could be something small once a week or once a month. There are so many ways to make a difference these days—pick one that's workable for you considering how much time you have (volunteer!), your financial situation (make a donation), your politics (get involved in the political process), and your home life (make improvements to your house or neighborhood).
Solutions can be as simple as switching from bottled water to tap water, or putting water-saving faucets in your house. Or you can get involved at a different level—if you live near a university make a donation to a research institute or the student water club, if you live on a creek or river, set aside a day for clean-up. Make a donation to American Rivers or to National Geographic for their new initiatives on freshwater!
Reaching out to your representatives in government can also have a big impact, since several states and the federal government are trying to find ways to increase environmental flows in some river basins. In Nevada, for example, there is an effort underway to bring more water in Walker Lake, a lake that's been headed for a slow death due to lack of water inputs, and in Texas there are effort underway to reduce water withdrawals from Edwards Aquifer. As the movement toward environmental flows grows, it will become easier and easier to get involved as an advocate for healthy rivers and lakes.
What's been your favorite experience in the field? Most challenging?
My favorite experience in the field is when I am working with a good crew and collecting data that will eventually help protect an endangered fish. This usually isn't as straightforward as it sounds, because after all it's difficult to know whether or not research will translate into better management, but when it does happen it's very rewarding. As case in point, I was part of a group of scientists working on the Eg-Uur River in Mongolia and our job was to collect basic biological and ecological data about the world's largest trout, the taimen. As part of our work, we determined that taimen in the Eg-Uur do not migrate long distance and probably rely on relatively small areas of "critical habitat" for survival. Our research also suggested that taimen cannot sustain heavy fishing mortality. Partially as a result of our work, the Mongolian government is not considering making all taiman fishing in Mongolia catch and release. This will help ensure that healthy populations of taimen remain in Mongolia for future generations.
Recently I have been involved in several television documentaries and I think one of my favorite experiences I've had was when I feel like the show gets the story right. I know that might not sound like much, but the process of making a television documentary is a long process, there are so many people involved, from the television channel to the development people to the production staff to the field crew to the research staff, not to mention all of the biologists and fishermen we meet out in the field and last but not least, the FISH! There are other issues to deal with as well—seasonality issues (will the fish be there at that time?), logistical issues (how do we get our whole crew halfway around the world), money issues. What I am trying to say is that it's a very complicated process, and so when I see the final product and everyone's done a good job, and most of the people who were involved think we've created something of value, it's very rewarding.
What are your other passions?
My family, friends, memories, hiking, camping, traveling, exploring new places, seeing animals I've never seen before, rope swings, Arizona creeks, fresh snow, coffee.
What do you do in your free time?
Mostly I do what everyone else does, hang out with my friends, watch movies, read, work in my garden, mountain bike, hike, and swim. I also spend a lot of my free time with activities semi-related to my work—helping other scientists with their projects, visiting aquariums, viewing fish at dams and fish ladders, fishing, watching other people fish, or just sitting by on the river bank and watching the world go by.

Aptly titled, Donavon Frankenreiter's "Revisited" is not just a re-recording of his 2004 self-titled album; it's a complete reinterpretation… with a Hawaiian twist.
Kauai Resident and professional surfer, Donavon Frankenreiter, lives an incredible life for which he is extremely grateful. His first recording was made with the aid of his long time friend Jack Johnson and spawned the AAA radio hit "Free". Teaming up with longtime band mate Matt Grundy (Bass/BGVs), and local musicians Kirk Smart (Guitars), and David Leach (Percussion), Donavon set out to re-record his debut album (originally released on Brushfire Records) using traditional Hawaiian instruments including the ukulele, lap steel guitar, and a Mauna Loa slack key tuned guitar. The result is a fresh new take on the original that allows Donavon's envied lifestyle to ooze sweetly through the speakers, giving a completely new sound to favorites like "It Don't Matter" and "Free".
Catch old friends and collaborators Jack Johnson and Donavon both performing at the Mile High Music Festival Aug 2010. Check Donavon Frankenreiter's website for extensive list of tour dates.

Rub the loin with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
The imperial favorites, among them the sleek-jowled padre recommended by loin, seconded her intention.
The rib is the cut between the loin and chuck, and contains the best roasts.
The loin also can be boned entirely, stuffed or not, as preferred, the flap end folded and fastened over the fillet portion.
The ribs and the loin cut in one piece are shown in Fig. 18.
The main and most useful portion of the corset was a zone, or loin band.
Pork steaks or chops should be taken from the neck, or the loin.
loin de la cour, loin du souci—Far from court, far from care.
Then put in some bits of loin of pork cut into dice and some bits of lean ham.
The men wear only loin cloths and often carry a large straight knife suspended by a leather belt strapped round the chest.
early 14c., "side of the body of an animal used for food," from Old French loigne "hip, haunch, lumbar region," from Vulgar Latin *lumbea, from *lumbea caro "meat of the loin," from fem. of *lumbeus, adjective used as a noun, from Latin lumbus "loin" (see lumbago).
Replaced Old English lendenu "loins," from Proto-Germanic *landwin- (cf. German Lende "loin," Lenden "loins;" Old High German lenti, Old Saxon lendin, Middle Dutch lendine, Dutch lende, Old Norse lend).
The Latin word perhaps was borrowed from a Germanic source. In reference to the living human body, it is attested from late 14c. In Biblical translations, often used for "that part of the body that should be covered and about which the clothes are bound" (1520s). Related: Loins.
loin (loin)
The part of the body on either side of the spinal column between the ribs and the pelvis.

I'm getting this. Can't wait 😊
I hate to say it but Apple is starting to mess up. First why circulate the ipad 2 that's been out for a few years instead of the ipad 4 and why is it the same price as an updated ipad mini with better specs. The ipad mini retina price bump was a bad idea as everyone said it was till expensive and now it's only $100 more for an ipad air. The previous mini only gets a $30 reduction? Jesus this is a bad model. Ipad 2 is expensive and very dated, mini retinas too much, mini should've been less and why in the robots *** did they start naming iPads now? Are they changing the names or is it going to be air 2 and 3. iPhones aren't much better but it's still a great phone I just hope they don't loose their touch
Finally, the iPad compatible T-Mobile LTE! Well so the site says, am I reading this right?
Apple - iPad - View countries with supported LTE networks.
I want this but not for that price. And the first gen only dropped 30$. That's not really a drop in my opinion. If the iPad mini was actually a decent price I would so get it. But I payed 330$ for my 5S and I'm not paying the same just for an oversized iPod touch because I don't need internet.
I'm a little confused... What separates the iPad air vs the new iPad mini. They now both have the same resolution and the same 64-bit A7 chip. Shouldn't they perform exactly the same?
Apple has failed for the 5th time now. I don't get why you make a cellular model and not have the 1700/2100 AWS 3/4G bands. The Nexus 7 2013 LTE model will be the choice.
I'm having a hard time deciding between iPad Air and Mini with Retina, Wi-Fi only model. The only difference is screen size and $100 price, everything else is the same.
I have an iPad 3rd gen, and going small can be a nice thing when you lay in bed wanting to watch movies or read without having to hold something close to 5lbs lol.
Anyone care to help me out?
Now would be a good time to sell my iPad 3rd gen.
Good luck with your decision

Light, powerful and compact, the Bimota DB6R stands for the greatest riding experience you'll be able to find on two wheels. This exotic, hand-built Italian masterpiece of a motorcycle is assembled with an acute attention to detail using race proven top-shelf components. With only 236 miles on the odometer, it's an exceptionally rare low mileage curve carver that will out run and out handle just about anything on the road.
Founded in 1973, Bimota is a small Italian superbike manufacturer that decided to concentrate its resources on frame design and overall packaging. For almost 30 years they fabricated frames and built bikes around engines from Suzuki, Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha and even Ducati. For 2008, a revitalized Bimota introduced an aggressive version of their Delirio street bike that sold for $31,500. Dubbed the DB6R and built around a powerful Ducati 1100 engine, it was lighter and more agile than its sibling and brought race proven technology directly to the street. And, with a price tag new north of $50,000.00, this ain't your daddy's Kawasaki!
With the DB6R, Bimota engineers aimed towards an even lighter and more versatile motorcycle than their already capable Delirio models. The result is an outstanding 375 pound wet weight that is a direct result of extensive use of carbon fiber body panels and lighter alloy wheels. Up front an intricately designed headlight sits in a flat black housing above a carbon fiber front fender. At the sides of the headlight, stylish and functional LED turn signals complement silver mesh grilles that add a light and sporty appearance to the front of the bike. On top of the headlight, a gloss black gauge pod incorporates a 10,000 RPM tachometer and a digital readout that combines the bikes vital information with a performance readout that has a 20 lap memory. Behind the readout, nicely finished silver handle bars feature functional and stylish black mirrors above ceramic coated brake handles, and hold reservoirs for the bikes Brembo brake system. At the base of the handle bars, an ignition switch is almost completely surrounded by a multi-faceted fuel tank that features bright red paint laid over pearl white paint, black "bimota" scripts on each of its sides and a cool machined aluminum fuel cap. Below the fuel tank a lightweight composite frame has been covered in bright red and houses the bikes Ducati 1100 engine and dry clutch multi disc 'slipper' transmission. In front of that engine, small pearl white protective shields carry the Italian flag and feature red and black "DB6R" decals. Behind the fuel tank, a gray and black seat is held together with red stitching and sits between two more sporty looking silver mesh grilles. Below the seat, a silver shock for the bikes mono shock rear suspension sits behind more carbon fiber bodywork and above silver aluminum pegs. Behind the seat, the red and white body work hangs over a carbon fiber rear fender, a carbon fiber tag bracket, matching LED tail lights and a cool integrated triangular exhaust.
The DB6R includes many new carbon fiber components including air conveyors for the radiator, fairing sides, belt-covers, a clutch cover, a tag bracket, fenders and side covers to successfully reduce weight. Additionally, the bikes forged alloy wheels have been specifically developed by Bimota, and shave off a little over 12 pounds. The silver painted 17 inch front wheel wears a 120/70 Continental Sport Attack radial. A matching silver painted 17 inch rear wheel wears a 180/70 Continental Sport Attack radial.
The DB6Rs 1100 cc engine is taken right off the Ducati Hypermotard 1100 and offers the same greatness and finesse of that bike in a lighter package with a better transmission. That better transmission is a 6-speed 'slipper' dry clutch transmission that is equipped with a hydraulic actuation system and radial clutch pumps. When put together, this motor and transmission offers an immediate combination of speed and control that simply cannot be matched by other superbikes. The Ducati 1100 is a twin cylinder L shaped engine that features 90 degrees opposing cylinders. It utilizes air cooling and an electric fuel pump which sends fuel into a Walbro electronic fuel injection system with a 45 mm throttle body and Magneti Marelli injectors for a 10 to 1 compression ratio, 95 horsepower and 76 ft./lb. of torque. When combined with the feather weight body and weight saving suspension, this high tech engine technology is good for a top speed of 165 MPH.
That motor is mounted in a 1430 mm chassis that consists of an Extreme Tech steering damper, a Marzocchi UD fully adjustable front fork and a fully adjustable rear monoshock. Braking is supplied by a Brembo floating disc system with a radial pump, drilled rotors with four piston, four pad radial calipers up front and drilled rotors and two piston, two pad radial calipers out back. The first thing that strikes you riding the Bimota DB6R is its extremely responsive chassis that is perfectly suited to the air-cooled L-twin from Ducati. The engine revs effortlessly and can be taken up to its 8,500 RPM redline without any jerks or hesitation and when combined with the dry clutch 'slipper' transmission, the result is agility and handling that cannot be beaten. The bike is easily tossable, will turn at nothing and if needed and can pop a wheelie almost immediately. It's so tight and as long as the Continental Attack tires are warm enough, everything works very well in the turns. It's a phenomenal riding experience that thanks to great ergonomics and driver seating position will make anyone, even a novice rider, feel right at home. That said, in order to push this bike to its limit, an experienced rider with very quick reflexes is needed.
This 2008 Bimota DB6R is perfect. It's a stylish hand built bike that's ready to go and is a BLAST to ride! It's essentially new, has a ton of state-of-the-art features that make it exceptionally fast and incredibly easy to ride. If you've been looking for the perfect combination of style and performance in a super rare package but don't want to pay inflated prices, we've got you covered. Call today!

You can also try to get the key by running a rainbow table attack as well.
The problem as far as I know is that you cannot get the key if the password isn´t listed in the actually dictonary file or the wordlist.
There are several such wordlist, dictonary list, wpa tables out there, some up to 30GB in size.
A bruteforce attack may take days or weeks to complete and further more not sure if even then it can crack a 128bit cryption.
I would love to see a solution to this as one of my previous attempt failed..
First you need to sniff an access point e.g. by using airodump-ng, then you need to deauthenticate an aktive station to capture a handshake which is common with WPA, then you need to crack the captured ARP package with either aircrack, cowpatty or some other kind of password crack method, all depending on the dictonary list, wpa table or wordlist that you have.
So to summen up, with my knowledge so far, no there is no easy way to get a wpa key if it is not allready listed in the list provided for cracking the captured packets.
I would love to be proven wrong here

TRIBUTES TO Ray Collins, who co-founded the Mothers of Invention with Frank Zappa and who died Dec. 24, have sprung up like flowers around the streets of the Claremont Village where the singer lived the past two decades.
Chalk messages linger on sidewalks and in a park. A storefront display window at a bakery has been given over to photos and messages. An easel outside a restaurant is covered in handwritten comments.
One tribute, however, is gone. A bench at Second and Yale outside the Village Grille that was decorated by flowers, candles, photos and messages has been cleared by one of Collins' siblings.
"It's really cool. But at some point they need their bench back," Stephen Collins had told me last week over breakfast at the Grille.
And so Collins returned Tuesday morning to gather up the mementos, including a photo of Collins sitting on that very bench, for the family's collection. Only a few wilted flowers were tossed.
First he admired all the items.
"It was very kind of people to do that," Collins said.
It's a public bench, not the Grille's, but as it's steps from their door it was often used by customers waiting for a table. Ray Collins also sat there as he made his rounds of the Village's benches, following the sun like a cat in a window box.
Stephen Collins knew that City Hall or the Grille would have to clear the bench eventually. "Whoever does it is going to be the bad guy," he had fretted the previous week. "It's better that the family do it."
After he'd taken the items - in three trips - to his car and driven off, I went into the Grille to tell the staff what had happened so they would have an answer when customers ask. Waitresses were glad to hear Collins' family had the items.
"He'll be remembered. He was a sweet, kind man," Patricia Pennington said.
Before we went to the bench, I had met up with Stephen Collins a half-block away at Some Crust Bakery. The bakery is devoting its main display window to Ray Collins memorabilia.
A large portrait of Collins is dedicated "in loving memory of our friend and loyal customer." Photos from various phases of his life, including from Emerson Junior High and Pomona High, are there, alongside original Mothers of Invention albums, copies of newspaper obituaries, a knit skullcap, a Mothers of Invention-labeled beer and a straw hat of the kind Collins wore from C&E Lumber.
Employees and passersby have written messages on index cards for display.
"Ray was the soul of the Village. He is in doo-wop heaven now. Sing on, old friend," wrote poet Pete Fairchild.
Manager Scott Feemster said Collins was there "every single morning without fail" and was usually the first customer in the door.
Collins would sit at the table outside the door for an hour or two with a coffee and a newspaper before moving on. A placard in the window by that table salutes Collins: "Singer, musician, co-founder of the Mothers of Invention, bon vivant, man about town, lover of life. The Crusties will miss him greatly."
Feemster said the window display will be up through January.
A classmate brought by a group photo of the Pomona High football team on which Collins played halfback. "He was really tough. Nobody messed around with him," the friend told Feemster.
Stephen Collins marveled at the window display.
"Oh my gosh!" Collins exclaimed, a broad smile on his face. "This is amazing."
Huell Howser might have said the same thing. How would Ray Collins have reacted to a window devoted to his life?
"He didn't like attention, and yet he did," his brother said.
"He was not one who wanted people to make a fuss," Feemster admitted.
A customer, overhearing us, said Collins would have taken one look at it, ducked his head and scurried across the street.
The window display's existence made Stephen Collins feel better about removing the Village Grille memorabilia. "Now there's another tribute for people to visit," he told me.
And there's even another one. One door down from Some Crust, Espiau's had a 6-foot, double-sided easel on the sidewalk Tuesday. Messages had been penned on each side.
"Miss your kind and laid back attitude! - Janet and Leona."
"Rest in peace, my strangest hero. - Izzy."
"All the benches seem so empty."
And, evidently written by a child: "Hope you have a wonderful time in hevan. Love, Rena."
The only public service for Collins was a friend-driven event Jan. 6 at Shelton Park, announced on Facebook two days before. By the end, some 200 of us had gathered, a testimony to Collins' influence.
People were invited to say a few words about their encounters with Collins.
Some knew him as a friendly face with a smile or a kind word, one who loved children and animals, not as a singer who worked with Zappa.
Others were fans. A man who had approached Collins about a documentary said Collins was initially enthusiastic. "We could make it a comedy," Collins told him. "You can interview me while holding a banana."
Collins, who lived out of his van, parked it overnight at Claremont United Church of Christ, whose parking lot is open to all. A church employee said Collins came in monthly without fail to donate $20.
"Nobody else does that," she told us. "And there are Beemers up there. He had his honor and his duties."
A woman said many of us were familiar faces just as Collins was. "Ray represents an element in our community we have to work very hard to preserve," she said.
At the end, chalk was given to anyone who wanted a piece, with the urging to leave a mark on a sidewalk wherever we best remembered him. Some two dozen funny, sweet messages appeared around the Village.
Several members of Collins' family were at the park, but they didn't speak. Collins' remains were cremated and no service took place.
On Sunday, however, family members gathered at the Upland home of Don Collins, his only full brother. Stephen and Johnny, his half-brothers, were present.
"A good 25 people were there," Stephen Collins told me. "We had food and people talked about him, their times with Ray and what they remembered. It was good to share stories. You always wish you got together for better things than that."
Collins, 56, is a financial adviser who lives in Wisconsin. He and Ray, who were 19 years apart, had the same father. Stephen, who grew up in Pomona, was born the same time as Ray's daughter in 1956.
His memories of his older brother are fond, even if their age difference and Ray's wanderings meant they saw each other sporadically.
"He improvised. Most of his life that I knew him, he was on the street, living someplace. He never really had a place of his own," Collins said.
But he refused offers of help. Stephen and Don tried to get him into housing, and Stephen was interested in getting his recent songs recorded properly. No sale.
"Maybe there's a lesson in life there. He was happy with whatever life gave him," Collins mused. "The rest of us have to have things."
He last saw his brother in November. He could count on finding him on a bench around the Village or at the library, where he would sit at a computer and watch old movies on the Internet. They had dinner at Vince's Spaghetti, one of Ray's favorites.
"I noticed he was walking a lot slower and was more hunched over," Stephen said. Collins, 75, had a heart attack in his van on Dec. 18 and died the following week.
Stephen understood that his brother was well known in Claremont - "we were never able to sit on a bench without 10 people coming up to talk to him" - but was blown away by the outpouring of kindness and respect shown his brother at the Jan. 6 service and with the tributes.
Will there be anything permanent?
Some think there should be. George Goad, a Pomona native who knew Collins and Zappa here in the 1960s and who reconnected with Collins in Claremont in recent years, is among them.
"Let's get the city of Claremont to honor Ray somehow. Maybe a plaque naming the intersection of Second and Yale as Ray Collins Square or, at the very least, a bronze plaque on one of his favorite sitting spots - an `endowed bench,' if you will," Goad told me.
None of that will bring him back, but I'm for it. If a target date helps, what about May 12?
You know, Mother's Day.

925 Sterling Silver Hamsa Hand Necklace by Mizze
The Hamsa - Known in Islamic societies as the Hand of Fatima and in Jewish lore as the Hand of Miriam, serves as an ancient talismanic way of averting the evil eye or more generally of providing a "Protecting Hand" or "Hand of God". Some sources link the significance of the five fingers to the five books of the Torah, or the five pillars of Islam. In recent years some activists for Middle East peace have chosen to wear the hamsa as the symbol of the similarities of origins and tradition between the Islamic and Jewish faiths.
What is the Hamsa Hand?
The Hamsa Hand , which is an artistic rendering of an outstretched hand, is likely the most prevalent symbol throughout the Middle East today. This ever popular talisman, typically featured in jewelry and wall hangings, is thought to give protection from the "Evil Eye" (curses brought on by the envy of others) and to bring good fortune.
Width - 0.5 "
Length - Hamsa necklace 19"
Unisex design
Custom sizes are available for ordering, free of charge

Hello, i'v been having HUGE troubles getting my edimax ew7318-usg card to inject properly,
i read this thread --> http://forums.remote-exploit.org/bt3...-bt3final.html
and it tells me to load a new kernel.lzm into BT3.
so i downloaded and put the kernel into my root.
then ran this command...
and my shell window pauses for a while and then my backtrack freezes.Code:
lzm2dir kernel.lzm /
Im running BT3 on VMware and again im using the edimax ew7318-usg card
with the RT73 drivers.
Someone help?
and does BT4 have the rt73 drivers fixed?

I've been using R1 for a few months now and everything was working work. Injection worked out of the box for the 1000HE's RT2860. After upgrading to R2, injection is no longer working. I've also tried to do a fresh install and it doesn't work either.
Did R2 update a driver that broke support for the RT2860?
I'm hoping I can get this resolved so I don't have to do another install back to R1

By Julie Muhlstein Herald Writer
EVERETT — When Ralph Solberg joined First Presbyterian Church in 1988, he had an idea.
"I was part of a panel of four new members," said Solberg, now 84. "My thinking was, I would like more people to hear what I'm hearing, and to feel what I'm feeling. I said I'd be happy to donate time to share that experience."
And so he did. Solberg has produced a weekly radio broadcast of Everett's First Presbyterian Church services for nearly 23 years.
The "First Presbyterian Radio Ministry" airs at 8:01 a.m. Sundays on KRKO (1380 AM), an Everett-based station. On Feb. 10, the church will celebrate the radio ministry's 1,200th broadcast. It made its debut on April 1, 1990.
Solberg, retired after a radio career in Eastern Washington, creates the broadcasts in a studio at his Everett home. On Wednesday, he explained the process.
At First Presbyterian, where the Rev. Alan Dorway is pastor, Sunday services are recorded by church members who operate the sound system. It used to be done on tape, but a digital recorder is now used.
At church, "I just sit in the congregation," Solberg said.
"I take those recordings and edit a 25-minute program of message and song," he said. Solberg transfers the recordings to tape, and uses a broadcast-quality reel-to-reel recorder. Speaking into a microphone, he adds his introduction and broadcast conclusion each week. The edited programs are transferred to CD.
It takes him nearly four hours to edit and produce each program, and he creates a broadcast every Monday morning.
"I deliver the CD to KRKO, and they enter it into a computer and put it on. I've never missed a program in almost 23 years," he said.
Solberg works two weeks ahead, so radio listeners get a different sermon and music than people in the pews hear on any given Sunday. On Easter, listeners are likely to hear the service from the previous year's Easter service.
He makes it sound simple, but it's a labor-intensive task. What's all the more remarkable is that Solberg is blind. Afflicted with glaucoma, he began losing his sight at age 30. By 1974, he was totally blind.
An Everett native, Solberg worked as a disc jockey and radio news director. He began in the 1950s filling in as a night DJ at a Moses Lake station. He then worked at what's now KWNC in Quincy. He was on the air into the 1970s at KRSC, an AM station in Othello.
"I've been in radio 20 years now, and I think the longevity of Ralph's program is unique in the industry," said Andy Skotdal, general manager of KRKO. "I can't think of a program in the market that's been on in the same time for almost 30 years. It's extraordinary."
Skotdal said Solberg and his wife Shirley faithfully deliver each week's broadcast. "It's like clockwork. The door swings open at 9:30 on Tuesday morning and in come Ralph and Shirley," he said.
"His program is very well produced, and that's no small achievement," Skotdal said. The station's technology forced Solberg to switch from the old analog to a digital format. "A couple times when we first put in computer systems, the program didn't run exactly as it was supposed to," Skotdal said. "What I've learned about Ralph and Shirley, they are exceptionally gracious and kind people."
Solberg has copies of every broadcast, essentially a nearly quarter-century of oral history for the church.
What First Presbyterian Church and KRKO offer as a gift to listeners — the broadcast never asks for donations — Solberg sees as a godsend in his life.
He has heard from people whose relatives listened when they were hospitalized and couldn't make it to church. Some in the congregation found their way there because of the show. And once, when Solberg's phone rang and it was a wrong number, the caller recognized his voice from the radio.
"I feel blessed to be able to volunteer," he said.

Radio ministry
"The First Presbyterian Radio Ministry" broadcast can be heard at 8:01 a.m. every Sunday on KRKO (1380 AM). Produced by Ralph Solberg, the broadcast features messages from clergy and guests, the church's Chancel Choir and other music.
