Sometimes in the world of social data it is hard to grasp the amazing possibilities when we use words to describe things. The old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words is true, so we wanted to show you what our new Profile Geo enrichment does.
First, here is what Profile Geo is:
Gnip's Profile Geo enrichment significantly increases the amount of usable geodata for Twitter. It normalizes unstructured location data from Twitter users' bio locations and matches those latitude/longitude coordinates for those normalized places. For examples, everyone who mentions "NYC," New York City," "Manhattan," and even some odd instances like "NYC Baby✌" all get normalized to "New York City, New York, United States" so they're easy to map.
Now, here is what Profile Geo does in practice for users interested in Twitter geodata:
We think this is really powerful stuff. These maps were created using 2 sets of Tweets taken over 3 Sundays where we were looking for Tweets containing the term "football." The map for Standard Geo is comprised of Tweets where users specifically geotagged their Tweet with their latitude and longitude (natively in the Twitter payload). The map for Profile Geo is comprised of Tweets where Gnip was able to enrich additional Tweets and assign the Tweet to a latitude and longitude.
As you can see the amount of location data available through Profile Geo is significantly higher than through Standard Geo. To be specific, we did our "football" search using the Decahose, a random sampling of 10% of the full Twitter firehose. Standard Geo returned just under 3,000 Tweets, while the Profile Geo search returned more than 40,000 Tweets! (Multiply those by 10 to get approximations of firehose volumes) With this additional geodata the possibilities are limitless. The NFL can understand the demographics of their demand better, football clubs in the UK can see how far their reach is, TV networks can use this data to tailor media, among infinite other uses.
If you were to remove the search for "football" and use the entire firehose of Twitter data you'd find that you can receive roughly 15 times the amount of geo-relevant data by using Gnip's Profile Geo enrichment instead of just the geodata in the standard stream. Anyone using geodata in their social data analyses should find great value in this dramatic increase in georelevant data.
If images are better than words, then interactive maps are better than images. Here are the maps so you can play around and see the difference yourself. Zooming in will depict just how much more data is available with Profile Geo in clear detail:

Matt Rodgers, Attorney-Client Privilege in Patent Litigation: In Re Spalding Sports Worldwide, 1 OKLA. J.L. & TECH. 3 (2003)
Matt Rodgers, a 2003 graduate of the University of Oklahoma College of Law, provides this insight into the current status of attorney-client privilege in patent litigation. The Federal Circuit recently resolved a legal dispute that had split district courts for several decades regarding the application of the privilege in patent litigation. Some circuits followed the theory that patent attorneys act as mere conduits to the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Since their clients had no expectation of confidentiality, the communications were not privileged. Other circuits reasoned that patent attorneys are more than mere conduits, and that communications from client to patent attorney should be accorded the same protection as any other legal communication. The Federal Circuit held in In re Spalding Sports Worldwide that communications between a client and patent attorney are privileged, even if they contain mostly technical data, as long as the communication was made for the purpose of obtaining legal advice.

Chris Kannady gives this overview of the do-not-call list dilemma. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA") was enacted in order to protect residential telephone subscribers' privacy rights to avoid telephone solicitations. However, in 2002, the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") began the process of creating the current nationwide do-not-call list that the FTC, not individual telemarketing organizations, would maintain. Within one year, the do-not-call list was finalized and ready to open for public registration. It did not take long before telemarketers filed suit to block the list. This article provides a detailed discussion of the litigation initiated by telemarketers in an attempt to invalidate the do-not-call list. Since the telemarketing industry stands to lose billions of dollars if the list continues to operate, litigation concerning this matter is likely to continue.

In the fall of 2004, she will begin the J.S.D. program at the Berkeley School of Law. Below, Ms. Russell focuses on one facet of the Internet—webcasting. Part I of this article gives an overview of webcasting itself. Part II identifies the groups and their arguments in the debate over webcasting. Part III provides a critical review of the legislative history on webcasting by looking at the various acts passed by Congress. As webcasting significantly resembles radio broadcasting, the question is raised as to why Congress requires webcasters to pay royalty fees on any music they distribute over their lines, while not requiring the same for radiobroadcasters. Ms. Russell addresses this perplexity by providing comprehensible insight into the future of webcasting in Part IV.

Key facts about solar electricity
Are you interested in solar electricity and would like to have a quick overview of facts? You can find all key information here.
Doesn't manufacturing a photovoltaic system use up more energy than such a system actually produces during its lifetime?
Doesn't manufacturing a photovoltaic system use up more energy than such a system actually produces during its lifetime?
The time required to offset the energy consumed to produce solar power systems depends on the energy yield and the useful life of the module technology concerned. In sunny locations such as North Africa, a solar power system will already produce more clean electricity after one year of operation than the energy used to produce it.
SolarWorld crystalline solar panels which are installed in Germany will take about one year to offset the energy used in production.
Do I need to insure a solar power system?
Do I need to insure a solar power system?
To be on the safe side - Building insurance enables you to receive financial compensation in the event of damage due to elements such as the effects of the weather, vandalism or theft. Just ask your insurance company what kind of coverage you need in addition to your general liability insurance.
SolarWorld offers a comprehensive, free insurance package in cooperation with the ERGO Insurance Group. This special insurance is an optional, integral part of SolarWorld kits. It is a combined insurance policy covering all risks, breakdown, minimum yield and construction risks, which offers maximum protection for your investment.
Who will take care of maintenance once my system is installed?
Who will take care of maintenance once my system is installed?
A solar power system requires little maintenance. However, you will need to pay meter rental. Any dust or dirt on the photovoltaic modules is usually removed to an adequate extent by snow and rain. Particularly tough dirt or stains, such as leaves and bird droppings, which cause part of the system to be covered in shade, should be removed as quickly as possible. Possible cleaning and small repairs should also be taken into account when calculating operating costs.
You should arrange for your SolarWorld specialist to maintain your system on a regular basis to ensure it runs to full capacity at all times. The most important task is to read the electricity meter on a regular basis to ensure you detect any faults in good time, even though faults rarely occur. The best way to safeguard your system is to enter into a maintenance agreement. Your system's performance will thus be checked every year, before the months with high levels of sunshine.
How is my installed solar power system connected to the grid?
How is my installed solar power system connected to the grid?
Is your system ready? Then get yourself connected to the grid and start harvesting non-polluting solar electricity. A solar power system is usually put into operation by the specialist fitter who carried out the installation. The fitter then contacts your local electricity company regarding connection to the grid. At the same time, a representative from the grid operator will connect the feed-in meter and ensure electrical connections and the network are safe and secure. The system must be registered with the German Federal Network Agency the day it is put into operation at the latest. The local electricity company is only obliged to pay a feed-in tariff for the electricity you produce if the system is registered.
How can I receive an offer for SolarWorld products?
How can I receive an offer for SolarWorld products?
When purchasing a solar power system, it is not only the technology used which is a decisive factor. Good service and warranties also play a role. You can receive personal advisory services from a SolarWorld retail and trade specialist, who are experts in the field. They will provide you with everything from a single source, from planning through to installation and maintenance of your solar power system.
Do I need planning permission?
Do I need planning permission?
As a general rule, planning permission is not required when installing a photovoltaic system. Heritage-protected buildings are an exception, since a solar power system changes the appearance of such buildings. Approval must be obtained from the local authorities in such instances. In applying for approval, you need to show the authorities that the photovoltaic system you plan to build will only affect the outward appearance of your protected building to a very limited extent.
In making your application for approval for your photovoltaic system, you can also refer to amendments to the 1998 German Construction and Land Use Regulations Law. According to this law, a town planning agency's tasks and policies include taking into account 'the interests of environmental protection, also through the use of renewable energies' (section 1, para. 5, clause 7, German Construction and Land Use Regulations Law).
In what way do I protect the environment with solar electricity?
In what way do I protect the environment with solar electricity?
A solar power system not only allows you to become less exposed to ever-increasing energy costs, but also enables you to protect the environment, as electricity generated by a solar power system eliminates many tons of CO2 emissions. In Germany, for instance, 700 grams of CO2 are emitted on average to produce a kilowatt hour of household electricity in coal, gas and nuclear power plants. In contrast, a solar power system cuts emissions by 569 grams per kilowatt hour and year. Thus, 3.6 million tons of CO2 were eliminated in 2009 as a result of all the installed solar power systems.
What is solar electricity? And what are photovoltaics?
What is solar electricity? And what are photovoltaics?
Photovoltaics is the direct conversion of solar energy into electrical energy. The term 'photovoltaics' is made up of the word 'photo' – the Greek word for light – and 'volta' – after Alessandro Volta, a pioneer in electro-technology ('photovoltaic effect').
How cost-effective is it for me to be my own electricity producer?
How cost-effective is it for me to be my own electricity producer?
With solar power you can get a higher yield return than with any other classical financial investment. The German feed-in tariff is guaranteed over 20 years by the Renewable-Energy-Law (EEG). Thus you get good money of our network operator for on-grid solar power.
You can raise your own consumption divvy and increase your earning with simple actions. Goal is to use as much self-produced electricity for your own as possible. It is doable to reach an own-consumption divvy of 30% without additional actions. You can raise it up to 60% by systematic engaging of your electric systems. Technical solutions as the Suntrol plant monitoring system can help you advancing your energy management.
Is solar electricity required to be fed into the public grid? (Only for the German market)
Is solar electricity required to be fed into the public grid? (Only for the German market)
At present, self-generated electricity can be fed into the public grid and also consumed on site. Electricity fed into the grid is paid for in accordance with the Renewable Energy Law (EEG). Electricity fed into the grid is paid for in accordance with the Renewable Energy Law.
Solar electricity can also be used directly in places where there is no connection to a main grid, e. g. to run refrigerators and lighting in hospitals in remote settlements far from electricity networks in developing countries. In Germany, these so-called stand-alone systems are used to a lesser extent in applications such as solar garden lights, pool pumps and parking ticket machines. Such systems are often equipped with a battery to store energy to improve reliability of supply.
How does sun become electricity?
How does sun become electricity?
The sun supplies us with energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation on a daily basis. This radiation can be exploited with the help of the photovoltaic effect. To do so, the semi-conductor material silicon is used, for instance. When a thin silicon disc is exposed to irradiation, electrons are set free and can be used to create electricity. The silver grey silicon discs are known as wafers once the production process is reached. To increase a wafer's yield, a special coating is applied which gives solar cells their distinctive blue or black colouring. A thin lattice consisting of metallic conductive strips is also affixed to ensure that the current can be conducted and used. Once this production stage is completed, wafers then become solar cells. The solar cells are arranged in rows and interconnected in so-called strings. Several strings are placed next to one another to form a photovoltaic module, which is then laminated in the last production stage to make it airtight and waterproof. The module is now ready to convert sunlight into electrical energy.
As photovoltaic modules generate direct current which AC networks cannot transmit, a further component is required for a complete solar power system: a so-called inverter transforms solar direct current into alternating current, which can then either be used directly on-site in the building or fed into the electrical grid.
Is my roof actually suitable?
Is my roof actually suitable?
In Germany, insolation is sufficient in all of the country's regions to ensure solar power systems are cost-efficient. As a general rule, solar power systems can be installed in any location where there is sufficient light. A south-facing surface achieves optimum yield at an angle of about 30°. A variation in orientation towards the south-west or south-east or in pitch between 25° and 60° will only reduce the energy yield slightly. Shade produced by trees, adjacent buildings, gables, aerials and similar should be avoided, as they reduce the electricity yield considerably.
Mounting systems are used in the case of flat or pitched roofs and guarantee an optimum orientation for photovoltaic modules.
For all existing pitched roof surfaces: an on-roof system is installed without affecting the impermeability of the membrane on an existing roof.
Flat roof
For flat roofs, there are frame and tub systems which securely support modules at an optimum angle to the sun.
With Sunfix plus SolarWorld offers mounting systems which can be individually adjusted to structural conditions and needs, thus ensuring optimum and safe utilization of installation surfaces.
How do my roof and its solar power system become a 'roof savings book'?
How do my roof and its solar power system become a 'roof savings book'?
Invest in your own roof to combat economic crises and open a 'roof savings book' under favourable conditions: with a solar power system you produce clean energy and thus receive guaranteed returns thanks to the feed-in tariffs specified under the German Renewable Energy Law. Your solar power system thus becomes a 'roof savings book' – assured for over 20 years.
There are new feed-in tariffs as laid out by the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG). You can find the currently valid feed-in tariffs here.

Singer – Songwriter, Amy Hānaiali`i remains Hawai`i's top selling female vocalist of all time. Hānaiali`i's success as a recording artist speaks for itself and is evidenced by a multitude of awards and acknowledgements, including five GRAMMY® nominations for Best Hawaiian Music Album.
Amy's albums have also garnered 22 Nā Hōkū Hanohano awards – Hawai`i's equivalent to the GRAMMY® awards. Hānaiali`i's range of multiple Nā Hōkū Hanohano wins, showcases her varied musical depth over the years prevailing in the following categories: Female Vocalist of the Year, Hawaiian Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Group of the Year, Christmas Album of the Year, Contemporary Album of the Year, and many others. Her diverse success, with cultural responsibility, provides clear recognition by Hawai`i's music community and Amy's fans that her musical appeal is universally accepted. All of Hānaiali`i's albums have validated commercial success by consistently placing her at the top of the World Album Billboard charts.
Amy has played for sold out crowds in Europe, Japan, China, all across America and French Polynesia. Hānaiali`i's Friends and Family album showcased a stunning duet with country music legend Willie Nelson. Alongside and recording with the best, Amy also has performed live and opened for renowned artists like Earth, Wind and Fire, Carlos Santana, Boz Scaggs, Diana Krall, Joe Cocker and many more, her upcoming release features a duet with Michael Mcdonald.
Hanaiali`i's talent emerges from a disciplined blend of classical training, fusing powerhouse vocalists, and honoring her family through her worldly heritage and rooted ancestral responsibility.
After obtaining a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts from United States International University- School of Performing and Visual Arts in San Diego, Amy spent time with her paternal grandmother, International Hawaiian superstar – Jennie Nāpua Woodd.
Undoubtedly her world famous falsetto training and strict pronunciation lessons gave Amy a beloved respect of Hawaiian Culture and Music, making her grandmother Nāpua one of Hānaiali`i's most influential people in her life.
Woodd, one of the original Royal Hawaiian girls in Waikīkī or Tūtūas as Amy affectionately calls her, helped shape the entertainment scene of Hawai`i as a Kumu Hula/Choreographer in Hollywood. Woodd worked on every Pacific-themed motion picture in the 1940's and 1950's and defines that cinematic genre. Also Woodd while performing on Broadway and the Lexington Hotel in New York City, met Tūtūmet Hānaiali`i's grandfather Lloyd B. Gilliom.
He himself a musician who played trumpet and steel guitar with the likes of Sammy Kaye, Tommy Dorsey and other notable hands of that era—joined Woodd to build a rich tradition of Hawaiian Culture on both coasts of America. Amy is the caretaker and curator of much of the archived footage from this era and currently producing a show honoring the story of her lineage.
Ms. Hānaiali`i is currently finishing up two epic projects. One with the legendary Willie K entitled "Amy & Willie K Reunion." Willie and Amy both well accomplished in their own right, are coming back together for this monumental album… Once again they will trail blaze through Hawai`i, Europe, east and west coasts.
The second was recently launched with Ms. Hanaiali`i's exclusive 2013 and 2014 HANAIALI`I Merlot Napa Valley. She partnered with JW Thomas Wines to create an award-winning double gold Merlot in 2013, rated 90 by Wine Spectator. In 2015, Hanaiali`i released a new CD, Chardonnay, created to be enjoyed with her wines in mind.
Ms. Hānaiali`i is also releasing a much loved solo project next year. Ms Hānaiali`i teamed up with accomplished producer Jason Miles from New York City. His many years of collaborating with Marcus Miller includes not only the Miles Davis projects, but also classic recordings by David Sanborn and Luther Vandross. Committed to pushing the envelope of sonic possibilities and bringing out the best in artists and musicians he vibes with, Miles has worked over the years with a proverbial who's who of contemporary music: Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Michael Brecker, The Crusaders, Ruben Blades, Freddy Cole, George Benson, Joe Sample, Herb Alpert., Vanessa Williams, Grover Washington Jr, Lea Salonga are among his notable collaborations
Ms Hānaiali`i has also teamed up with veteran entertainer Michael McDonald on this project performing a soulful duet on the album.
Aside from the music community, Hānaiali`i has garnered accolades from the Pacific Business News as their "40 under 40 Business Person of the Year" award, recognizing not only Hānaiali`i's talent, but also her business acumen needed to market her talent. Hānaiali`i launched the Hānaiali`i Collection featuring a line of children's clothing with legendary Hawai`i retailer Hilo Hattie. This collection and Hānaiali`i's album, My Father's Granddaughter, were inspired by her daughter, Madeline.

you need to set the mbr on the hdd to boot the files you copied
look for tutorials on grub they should point you in the right direction
I have a laptop that doesn't boot ffrom USB nor has a DVD drive.
So, I used unebootin to put on USB, then I put those files on my hard drive.
I boot from BT3 live cd, then put in USB and cleared my hard drive, and put the files from USB to hard drive.
Those are on my hard drive.
Will that boot up?
Or can I take the -
files and folders, and put them on a hard drive? Those are from the .iso file.Code:/boot/ /casper/ boot.catalog
Or can I take the plain .iso file, and transfer it to the hard drive, then boot?
Which one can I do?
Please help, thanks
you need to set the mbr on the hdd to boot the files you copied
look for tutorials on grub they should point you in the right direction
I don't have any other OS on the hard drive.
Can you find a tutorial on grub for me? I don't know what I'm looking for.
What should I google?
I actually went into that file an hour ago, but I don't know what to change.
Since your booting from the live usb you should have access to the install.sh on your desktop which will install bt4 and set the mbr for you
I'm not booting from the USB. My bios won't allow that. So, im basically trying to boot the live cd off the hard drive to access install.sh.
I'm not booting from the USB. My bios won't allow that. So, im basically trying to boot the live cd off the hard drive to access install.sh.
Do you think I can use unetbootin, like the tutorial on here was used on XP?
I can put unebooting, and the .iso file on my USB. Then boot up live cd bt3, then open unetbootin, select my .iso file, then select my hard drive?
Sorry for double posting.
yeah ignore that.
stumped for the moment..
your method should work in theory.... just try it... you cant trash the drive since there is nothing to trash.
Would I have to do the MBR after using unetbootin and .iso to my hard drive?
Have you considered a network boot? It solved my problems with an old laptop without a DVD drive or USB boot capabilities. There's some tutorials available.
What you want to do will be fairly challenging but it can be done. However, unless you're willing to learn a lot about hard drives, and the Linux boot process, Id suggest you look into buying a DVD drive.
There's no step by step tutorial for this, so you will have to do most of the work yourself. Here's the general theory:
Two links:
BackTrack Information Security Distribution » Customising the BackTrack 4 PreFinal ISO
The Backtrack 4 Beta Hard Drive installation guide above gives a number of steps that can be used to manually install BackTrack 4 to a hard drive. The customising post on the Offensive Security blog talks about how you can gain access to the contents of the squash fs BackTrack filesystem from the DVD.
The contents of the squash fs image is what you want to copy to your hard drive. You have to combine the techniques from the two different guides.
You will need to perform this task using a CD based Linux bootable environment. You will need a storage device that can be accessed from this CD based Linux environment, which can be used to store the extracted contents of the squash fs image from the BackTrack 4 DVD.
The biggest problem you will face is finding a Linux environment other than BackTrack 4 Prefinal that can mount the squash fs image - it uses a version of squash fs that isnt supported by many kernels.
If you have another system that can boot BT4 prefinal, you can use that system to extract the contents of the squash fs filesystem to a removable USB device, then mount that USB device on your target system, boot from a Linux CD and partition the target hard drive, copy the BackTrack 4 prefinal system files over (and create the /dev directory), and install a bootloader.
If you dont have access to another system that can boot BT4 prefinal, you will need to find some CD based Linux system that supports squashfs v4 (I think). Check for very new Linux boot CDs.
Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".

dinerman gmv it was hard to choose between him and w gone .... nice entries guys !
Only Fuck Fat Bitches Crew !!
Good stuff everybody but I gotta say dinnerman as well
how did I make it into the advanced poll.....wgone gmv, love the simple
Had to vote for dinerman also.
ahh fucken you get the idea
impressive shit knowme hands,throw and piece. Seeing pieces in that sketch form before completion would be a good idea for a thread because I think it would help ppl such as me get a better understanding or look into piecing.
Only Fuck Fat Bitches Crew !!
ahh what man you never put mine up
Graffiti is gay, everyone who does it is a massive homo. All graffiti posted by me on this site is in mockery of the lame movement and I laugh in the face of those who think I'm doing it for realsies. I hate you all
I don't get how you choose your toys and advanced writers for the battles, cuz most of the entry here belongs to the toy battle...anyway, voted Wgone...as always
ah knowme that stuffs ill as, and yeah on my behalf that is embarassing hahah
and i dont wanna be 'that guy', but im not saying that i should necessarily be in this thread all im saying that i should be in it over some of the others in this one
Graffiti is gay, everyone who does it is a massive homo. All graffiti posted by me on this site is in mockery of the lame movement and I laugh in the face of those who think I'm doing it for realsies. I hate you all
knowme woulda won with that by far imo , and as far as who is in what poll it's up to nouveau guys and that's all there is to it so bring a better entry next time. And dinerman nice entry def. More adv. Than mine but self votin is so weak man
Lol bro i voted to you... I know its mean
It just seems like in this forum in general, if you don't Wildstyle - you're dubbed as a toy. More than 2/3 of the people in the 'advanced' sector are more toy-like than some of the people in the sector marked as 'toy', a lot of the pieces look like something made off of graffitimaker. I've always preferred and appreciated an original style over something that's been done a hundred times before. The pieces submitted, the kind of stuff people say about one another, the talentless marked as advanced while real talent and originality is considered 'toy' really shows what kind of people actually get on here.
I know i'm still a toy, and until I master just a basic letter structure and style, I'm not going to be concerned about doing something thats already been done before...gotta start somewhere, ya know? trying crazy unique shit before you have a grasp of basic structure (and even a basic handstyle) is just gonna fuck you up in the long run imo...as for panda, wgones is definitely not wildstyle and its fuckin sick. I see where youre coming from though, because a lot of toys that don't understand letter structure come on here and just look for the crazy colors and random ass addons...but who gives a fuck anyway-all the real writers are getting up while we're bitching on the internet
^^ true story
Only Fuck Fat Bitches Crew !!
for sure man i agree ! n i wasnt dogin ur work was jus sayn that i was havn some fun tryin some diffrent stuff

After much frustration I have gotten the GUI part of the backtrack 5 arm release working with the Motorola Xoom.
- Rooted Motorola Xoom (this may work with other devices, other honeycomb tablets, and probably the dual-core phones like the Atrix and G2X, but it's untested at the moment)
- androidVNC from the Android Market
- Backtrack 5 for ARM with Gnome downloaded and setup
- Terminal Emulator from the Android Market (which you should already have)
Launch the terminal emulator and enter the following commands:
BackTrack will start up in shell. You will get a red line that says "root@localhost:". To verify if you type:Code:cd /sdcard/BT5 (this is assuming you copied it to the default location) su sh bootbt
It should echo back the folders in pentest, stuff like 'backdoors','database',etc.Code:ls pentest
At this point enter the following commands:
[Edit] The second line of code ('vncpasswd') is actually optional. If you do not set a passwd for vnc, the default is 'toortoor'Code:export USER=root vncpasswd
When you type in 'vncpasswd' this is to the the password for the tightvncserver. Since I only connect locally I just use 'qwerty' for my password, and then confirm the password. When it asks if you want to create a view only password just type 'n' and hit enter. After you have your password setup for vnc start the server up.
When this happens you will get a message confirming that "New 'X' Desktop is localhost:1" and a bunch of other random stuff below it (it isn't important unless there are errors listed). At this point, press the "HOME" button on the Xoom and then open the application "androidVNC". In the "Nickname" box, you can name it whatever you like. In the "password" entry, use your password (mine is 'qwerty'). In the "Address" box you can type in localhost (or leave it blank). ****Change the port from 5900 to 5901. I also recommend setting the color-depth to 24-bit. After that press the "connect" button, and bam! You're rocking Backtrack 5 on your motorola xoom!!Code:tightvncserver -geometry 1280x800
You're welcome to repost this on other message boards of on your website, please just give me credit though. Thank you and enjoy!
I couldn't post this in the How-To section. I think it's because my account has next to no posts at all!
[Edit] Apologies... Gnome is a Desktop Manager. Cannot correct topic name

Bourne was able to make good headway, as the GMC had been slowed by the sludgy traffic. Just as he neared the light he saw the GMC take off and knew he had been spotted. The problem with a bicycle, especially one that had caused a minor uproar lunging through a red light, was that the cyclist became conspicuous.
Bourne threw caution to the wind, following the accelerating GMC into the fork as it took Pennsylvania Avenue. Swerving in and out between vehicles, he put on another burst of speed. Just as he was coming abreast of the far crosswalk, a gaggle of drunk teenagers tumbled off the curb on their way across the avenue. They closed off the lane behind the GMC.

Land purchase will buffer Charleston's Angel Oak
CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — A park at Charleston's massive Angel Oak will be enlarged by 17 acres, providing a larger buffer around the massive tree.
The Post and Courier of Charleston reported (http://bit.ly/16xiYhJ ) that the Charleston County Greenbelt Bank has agreed to contribute $2.4 million for the property on Johns Island. The Lowcountry Open Land Trust plans to contribute more than $1 million more for the purchase.
The county money comes with the provision that a homeless veterans group gets five acres for farming and that the park be operated by the county.
The land originally was slated for development but later was foreclosed on.
A local group called Save the Angel Oak had collected 11,000 signatures on petitions to discourage development near the oak.

The origin of this classic rum cocktail is one of the great debates in tikidom. Both Ernest Beaumont-Gantt (a.k.a. "Donn Beach," the father of tiki culture) and Trader Vic founder Victor Bergeron lay claim to its invention. This version borrows from Beaumont-Gantt's recipe, which adds dashes of Pernod and Angostura bitters for complexity.

Maxon came home from his first day at Hebrew school with teeth stained from water ice and friends at his side. He won't admit it, but it seems like he maybe actually had a good time.
"So. How was Hebrew school?"
My son Maxon's answer to my question at 12:38 p.m.: "It was OK. It wasn't so bad."
"So. How was Hebrew school?"
Maxon's answer to his father's question at 5:33 p.m.: "It was horrible."
What changed in those five hours? I think I know.
First, let's recap. When we got to the parking lot of Congregation Rodeph Shalom on Sunday, Maxon saw a friend from Penn Charter, where he is in fourth grade. He dashed over to him and I hugged his friend's mom, who I was equally happy to see. They trotted ahead of us, greeting more friends with abundant enthusiasm. Once inside, Maxon disappeared downstairs. I found him with two more friends, playing some game where they pull their arms inside their sleeves and hop around like kangaroos. He barely noticed I was in the room and left with his posse to go to the sanctuary. By the time I arrived, he was already seated between two of his closest friends in the row with his class. He even did a special handshake with a friend who came in late.
No dread? No begging to go home? No "do-I-have-to?" Who slipped my child a cooperative mickey?
In the sanctuary, I met Maxon's teacher, a fresh-faced blonde who looks like Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica. I saw good friends and people I hadn't spoken to in ages. By the time the service started, I was out of breath from hellos. Then the show began – the cantor strummed her acoustic guitar and launched into the morning prayers, the three rabbis kept the beat with clapping hands and soon the congregation was getting down to "Mi Chamocha" like a gospel choir.
Rodeph's Mercaz Limud is in no way like my Hebrew school experience. For me, there were no school friends. There was no guitar. No clapping. No seventh graders acting out an original 12 Tribes of Israel play, no pizza and water ice party. Part of me – the girl raised Conservative part – wonders if this type of worship is serious enough, devout enough. Are they making Hebrew school too much like Hebrew School Musical? Is it too, dare I say it, fun?
But don't I want it to be fun? Aren't I hoping my oldest son gets into it after his history of throwing nuclear tantrums in the sanctuary every Sunday? I chose Rodeph so he could be with all his friends, only go once a week, have a more elastic Hebrew education. But is a soft touch as effective as a harder one?
When head Rabbi William Kuhn took the microphone and told us that Mercaz Limud is Rodeph's number one priority – the place where the synagogue passes values and traditions to the next generation, I placated my Conservative side. I have to trust that regardless of whether the message is delivered with a disco beat or through a somber melody, the substance of that message is what matters.
When I saw Maxon at pickup — his teeth stained from Rita's Water Ice, friends on either side of him, half a pizza on a plate by his feet — he was begging for a play date and giggling. Since the first day seemed to be about 20 percent school, I figured he wouldn't give a 100 percent negative review.
"How was Hebrew school?" I asked.
"It was OK," he said, tilting his head to the side, nodding and flashing me his cherry red smile. "It wasn't so bad."
So why the "horrible" response later that evening?
I think I know. With all the noise he made two years ago, all the VERY public shouting out in mad protest against Hebrew school, how could he possibly admit to liking it?

Puppy Bowl IX starting lineup revealed
The cutest, furriest furballs to ever be assembled for Animal Planet's faux field, all in one place.
The cutest, furriest furballs to ever be assembled for Animal Planet's faux field, all in one place.
JAL: This place is sacred to all 3 Abrahamic faith traditions; Muslim; Jewish, and Christian. And Muslims' fears that Israel wants it for their own religious and national purposes are, unfortunately, well grounded. Tel Aviv wants to wrest control of it back for Israel, because in Jewish religious traditions, the building of the 3rd Temple will herald the beginning of the Messianic age. Israeli Prime Minister knew that the optics of the metal detectors and forbidding anyone under 50 to worship at Al Aqsa would be horrific; but in his characteristic hubris, he just didn't give a damn. Through these actions, he may well have lit the flames for yet another intifada; then, he will use this violence as "the justification" to tighten down the screws against Palestinians even more than they are already. I weep for all those dead and wounded, Jewish, Muslim, and Christian, and those who will die, and be wounded, on all sides; this is an absolute tragedy which could have been averted. A violent response to these strictures for worshiping at Al Aqsa was precisely the outcome Netanyahu, and the Israeli government wanted to happen.

Once a week, apply a keratin hair mask to just-washed hair and leave in for ten minutes. The conditioners in the mask coat the hair and seal the cuticle (which helps prevent frizz), while the keratin treatment strengthens hair to help it resist damage.

Oscar de la Renta Resort 2012 Collection 2011-05-17 08:44:48
Oscar de la Renta Shows Vivid, Graphic Resort Collection
Oscar de la Renta's resort collection paid playful homage to Picasso via cubist prints and bold allusions to Spain, the artist's homeland, without compromising the classic elegance for which Oscar is known. Dresses were treated with patchwork and embroidery, and finished off with hats that looked stolen from a flamenco dancer's closet. Speaking of flamenco, a ruffled red dress that flounced down the runway needed only a set of castanets, as did a polka-dot strapless dress with a flirty peplum hem. The large collection also showed swim, like a deep v-neck one-piece and knit tap shorts with a crop top. Finishing the show were Oscar's evening gowns, the highlight of which might have to be an emerald green one-shoulder dress worn by Candice Swanepoel. Click the slideshow to see the collection.

I have the same exact error, but apart from seeing that message during boot, i think everything is working fine in my BT4 prefinal.
Hello All, I hope someone here can help me. To start off everything thing works fine as a live boot from the usb stick. Upon installing to hard disk drive via the installer everything appeared to be fine but was not. I did not have any use of my mouse either the built in mouse pad nor a usb mouse. Not to mention all of my other usb attachments cellular modem, keyboards etc. So i i rebooted looking for any errors during boot and the only error is as follows and it is output multiple times during boot up.
Fatal: can not open /lib/modules/2.6.31-14-generic/modules.dep.tmp no such file or directory.
I have installed multiple times. I have also searched around on google but all i have found was people that have not had any problems installing on my computer. So if anyone knows a solution or alternative install method i would appreciate it.
Thank you.
I have the same exact error, but apart from seeing that message during boot, i think everything is working fine in my BT4 prefinal.
I have resolved this issue doing a manual install. However i ran into another problem trying to install the drivers for the Intel GMA500 graphics chip set. Specifically
update-initramfs is disabled since running on a live CD
Seeing as this is going to be a problem for more than just what i am trying to do i am sure there is a work around? However all the work around i have found via google for ubuntu concerning linking files has not worked for me so if anyone reads this post and knows the solution please let me know. Thank you.

OMAHA, NE -- The first Shop24 robotic convenience store in Nebraska is up and running at the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge in downtown Omaha. Shop24 of Nebraska is operating the machine and will share a percentage of with the City of Omaha Parks and Recreation Department.
Built in 2006, the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge and riverfront area is a popular year-round destination for Omaha residents and tourists.
"The biggest request from visitors has been lack of concessions near the area," said Omaha Parks and recreation acting director Brook Bench. "Pedestrians and bicycle riders highly utilize this bridge for recreation and commuting. The addition of Shop24 and new restroom facilities will further enhance the riverfront's usage and enjoyment among residents."
Made by Shop24 Global LLC (Columbus, OH), the giant vending machine, with a 10x13-ft. footprint, can stock up to 200 items. Shop24 of Nebraska said it plans to deploy machines to several more Omaha locations in the coming months.

To give a continuous shout out to the Art at Work effort going on all through the month of November, here is a recap of the news as presented in a haiku.
Today is the day;
Vote now or silently cry;
Yeah right, you'll still gripe.
Traditional haiku consist of 17 "on" (also known as morae), in three phrases of five, seven and five on respectively. Although haiku are often stated to have 17 syllables, this isn't quite right since syllables and "on" are not the same, but this is Tacoma so we make our own rules. Now, you try it.
Use of three lines of up to 17 syllables, with the five, seven, five pattern.
Use of a season word;
Use of a cut or kire (sometimes indicated by a punctuation mark) to compare two unrelated images.
The Tacoma Weekly has a stack of free tickets for the Gem Faire at the Tacoma Dome, Nov. 9-11, submit a haiku for a chance to win.

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by Floaty, Dec 3, 2012.
The foundering Philadelphia Eagles have fired defensive line coach Jim Washburn as they try to fix a broken pass defense amid an eight-game losing streak.
Eagles coach Andy Reid on Monday announced former defensive line coach Tommy Brashear is replacing Washburn.
Its about attitude. He was upset after Babin release. Plus he does his own thing with the Wide 9.
Reid just announced that Foles will be the starter the remainder of the season, despite Vick being a possibility to be cleared medically for next week.
Save Andy Reid!
There's some crazy-dysfunction going on in Philly these days.
Just before he walked away from the podium to abruptly signal the end of his own press conference, Eagles head coach Andy Reid made a stunning admission that he had fired the wrong assistant coach.
Reid shouldn't have fired defensive coordinator Juan Castillo on Oct. 16 when he sought ways to improve his foundering 3-3 team, which had just blown a 10-point lead to Detroit in the fourth quarter and lost 26-23 in overtime.
He should have retained his longtime and loyal assistant and parted ways with defensive line coach Jim Washburn, who had become an unpopular and divisive figure inside the NovaCare Complex, according to several team sources and other sources familiar with the situation.
Reid refused to elaborate on his reasons for dismissing Washburn but acknowledged that the move wasn't exclusively football-related.
"I'm not going to get into all that stuff," Reid said. "I will tell you there were just things that I was disappointed in and, as time went on, that I knew. I just thought [firing him] was the right thing to do right now for this football team."
Shortly after Castillo's firing, friction brewed between Reid and Washburn that made for an uncomfortable environment at the NovaCare Complex. A team source confirmed a report that during the bye week, Reid had ordered the removal of a coffee maker and refrigerator that Washburn had long ago installed in the defensive line classroom. No other position meeting room had such appliances, the source said.
If Andy Reid is getting rid of a refrigerator, you know he's pissed.
I find it so ironic that the Eagles have always been talked about the class of the NFC East and that they run their organization through a legitimate "football man" but they seem to have the same problems we had a few years ago.
Any reasons why? Is Lurie the cause?
Because football is more art than science, you can't play moneyball with it in one extreme or the other.
Well, for one, they have had a backwards front office where the head coach had the say over the GM. Very few head coaches can handle both roles. Reid had great success early and as his responsibility grew his team began to decline.
He's been there too many years. Sooner or later you have to make a change regardless of how good the coach is. It's gotten stale.
I'm not sure if you thought you had a clever point here but the only blame you can lay on Lurie is allowing Reid to have that much control and staying so long. But again, multiple division titles, 4 conference championship games and 1 Super Bowl appearance can buy a coach a little longer leash.
What's happened in Philly is nothing like what has and is happening here. Lurie's not a lunatic. He's not pretending he's a personnel man and, looky here, so is his son. He's not conferencing with the media every week talking about personnel and playing time. He hires guys to run his football operations and gets out of the way. Like a good owner would do.
Keep moving those goal posts.
Just an observation on my part, so you are saying that the HC had too much power?
As in you need to make decision's as an organization or by committee?
I'm not moving any goal posts. I'm telling you the facts.
Yes. I'm saying very few head coaches can do both roles at the same time. Reid had great success in Philly, but the more responsibility he got, the less he was successful. Still, in comparison to here with Harry and Lloyd, he looks like a genius.
No. You do not need to make decisions by an organization or by committee. That's nonsense spewed when your team is held hostage by an insane owner. Hey, look.....nobody's responsible. Nobody's to blame. We're all good with status quo.
All teams, read that again, all teams, communicate top to bottom. But the GM is the one responsible to make the decisions. The GM is the one who is supposed to know better than anyone else in the building. The decisions aren't left up to a simple poll of raised hands but to the expertise of the General Manager of your Football Operations.
So for the life of me I can't figure out why you think you're making a statement here with this Philly situation. One has nothing to do with the other and one has been much more successful than the other.
The cause is losing. Andy Reid is still a brilliant offensive coach. It's hard to stay on top forever but Andy had quite a run. I can only guess how difficult it was to lose Johnson.
So what exactly does Howie Roseman do all day?
Stock the refrigerators in the players' meeting rooms or make sure the coffee pot is going 24/7?
Yep. I'm still a great admirer of Reid. The Eagles were long overdue a prolonged down cycle after the window closed on the McNabb era. It's just the natural ebb and flow of football. It's been a football eternity since that core of Hugh Douglas, Duce Staley, Tra Thomas, Bobby Taylor, Troy Vincent etc. came and gone. Reid managed to turnover and keep the boat afloat longer than most would.
Hiring Washburn and going to the wide 9 defense was reportedly Roseman's idea in the first place. He's far from some empty chair GM, although he's certainly in CYA mode at the moment.
I don't think Jason would hire Reid and I doubt Reid would be other than a HC but I'd love Reid as the OC/asst HC/passing game coordinator/whatever needed here.

The Rising Value of a Science Degree
By Motoko Rich
If you're trying to figure out what to study in college, a new report suggests you would do well choosing a major in science, technology, engineering or math.
The report, based on Census and National Science Foundation data analyzed by the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, shows that professions that depend heavily on skills learned in these fields are the second-fastest growing occupational group in the United States, after health care. >>Read entire report.<<
Panola College Utilizes Adjunct Professors
An adjunct professor is a part-time professor who is hired on a contractual basis rather than being given a permanent position. Many colleges hire adjunct faculty members because they are flexible and qualified. Just like full-time faculty members, adjunct professors must fulfill basic educational requirements before they can teach, and they are very well-educated, talented people. The use of adjunct professor positions has grown in colleges in response to decreased funding, which forces these schools to make choices that are sometimes difficult. If the choice is between hiring adjunct professors and closing a program, many schools consider it better to hire adjunct professors. Panola College carefully selects each and every adjunct professor in the science department.

Communism In American Government
When I was growing up in New York City in the 70's and 80's, I would hear on the news and in school about how Communism was a form of government that restricted individuality, free speech, personal freedom and the held most of their people in poverty, except for the rulers of those countries. The people of Russia and other Communist countries during that period were running out of their countries and made their way to America. During the 1980's, Russia's regime had fallen thanks to the work of Ronald Reagan. The evildoers were no longer able to take care of themselves and their economy collapsed as well.
Now it seems that our own President has decided to go down the path of socialism, fascism and or Communism. The people he's surrounding himself with is a clear indication of that. In the past, we've seen the truth come out on Van Jones, the man that Obama hand picked himself to be the Green Job Czar (do you notice that they're using communist noble titles for these positions). It was learned that Mr. Jones is a communist supporter as well as (what appears to me) a racist. Even though the main stream media stayed away from the stories that were coming out on the internet and reported on FOX, Van Jones resigned after all the controversy was released. My question is, who is Obama going to throw into the position next?
How many more of these unelected, non-approved people in our Republic government feel the same as Van Jones? There are over fourty czars in the current Administration and its not over yet. Most of these positions (if not all), have responsibilities that someone within the government was already accountable for. So why did President Obama need to create these positions? Maybe these were just a few of the 2.5 million jobs he was going to generate. Of course none of these jobs create a product or a service that wasn't already being done by someone else.
We need to be aware that if we don't watch what the government is doing, we won't have the freedom to ever watch them again. The government has always grown in size and hasn't reduced it's size since the Reagan Administration.

Frank Warren told this story the other day
"When Frank Bruno was fighting Mike Tyson in Las Vegas, we had to get a plane to LA for the Jay Leno show, as Bruno was going to be on it. We got to the gate with three tickets, but they said there were only two seats. We tell Bruno to get on this plane and, if we have to, we'll get on the next one. So we're talking to them, saying this is unfair as we have three tickets, and the woman at the gate says: "Wait here - I'll see if anyone's prepared to take a later flight." Five minutes later she says they've found a passenger who they've paid $300 to get the next flight. So we're getting ready to get on, and who comes off the plane? Frank Bruno."

Special Section: Safe Schools
RIALTO -- Rialto Unified officials take all reports of verbal abuse seriously, Superintendent Harold Cebrun said on Tuesday.
"I would never, ever support someone abusing a student," Cebrun said. "We're going to do our best to take care of things on the district end."
Cebrun was responding to a package of articles in Sunday's San Bernardino Sun, which looked at 18 cases of complaints against teachers in the district over the past five years.
"Every case in the last five years -- we've addressed it," he said.
Also included in Sunday's package was a case from the current school year, when a student's grandmother secretly recorded a third-grade teacher in Henry Elementary school verbally berating his students throughout the day.
"That issue's being handled, just as we speak," Cebrun said.
District officials stressed the 19 cases do not reflect the attitude or work of most of the district's 1,150 teachers, who work with a total of 30,000 students.
"99.99 percent of our teachers are not only highly qualified, but compassionate when it comes to their students," district spokeswoman Syeda Jafri said.
Newly elected board member Nancy O'Kelley previously worked in the district as a teacher, assistant principal and principal.
"I used to tell my staff, you treat your students the way you'd want your children treated," she said. "You cannot berate them, mistreat them, or verbally abuse them in any way."
What ultimately will happen to Timothy Braby, the Henry Elementary teacher heard calling students "unintelligent" and telling 8- and 9-year-old students to "grow up" on the digital audio recording, hasn't yet been decided, and full details probably won't be released due to privacy concerns.
"Once an allegation is made, we must give proper time to investigate and take appropriate action," Jafri said. "Be assured that each and every one of these allegations will be thoroughly investigated. Our district is committed to doing what's in the best interest of students."
But as of Tuesday, Braby was still in the classroom. According to the mother of one student, nothing had changed after Sunday's article.
"I asked my daughter" on Monday after school, said Rebecca Gomez. "No, he wasn't any different than normal."

Big props to James Zikic for sending this to me.
I've just wasted 3 mins of my life waiting for him to be knocked on his arse or something funny. The funniest thing was the fact that only the very top of his head is over the top rope.
I'm no gynecologist but I know a cunt when I see one.
This sums it up for me... What a legend!!!
Jay Darrell=UK Steven Seagal
he's sooooo cute!
Valley of Kings - Coming Soon
Fuck, he really is a short arse.
has this guy actually ever done anything of worth? saw the thread where he was moaning about people not taking him seriously? seems to talk a lot of game but has nothing to show for it really.
He looked good in that vid, he looked very tight and his technique was sharp, some good movement and punches, he defended well against a guy who clearly had 20KG on him, and he was able to back him up numorous times, very respectible sparring session
I'd like to see sledge get in there and put him on his arse... If you want something done my dad told me do it yourself! I'm not trying to stir anything up..

It's that time of year: Halloween decorations are going up all over the neighborhood, and no self-respecting homeowner wants to be outdone!
Outdoor skeletons are planted in garden plots, light-up zombie graveyards are staked into the ground, and fake tombstones are carefully arranged along walkways to greet the party guests.
Have you worked out your budget and decorating strategy?
Do you lean towards the gruesome, spooky, and scary, or do you favor a more family-friendly approach?
Like most people, does your preference in outdoor Halloween decorations lie somewhere in between — just a little bit scary, but not enough to give small children nightmares?
At Party City, there's something for every budget and taste: deluxe animated Halloween props that greet unsuspecting trick-or-treaters with flailing limbs and terrifying wails, kid-friendly ghost lights, LED jack-o-lanterns, and cutout decorations, and some completely off-the-wall Halloween decor that may have you alternately laughing hysterically of jumping with fright.
We test all products for quality and safety.
Our online inventory of seasonal decorations and party supplies is backed by over 800 retail stores across the USA, and bolstered by the accumulated wisdom of nearly 35 years in the Halloween business.
We invite you to comparison shop — the more you look the more you'll love our prices, our exceptional selection, and our friendly sales and customer service representatives.
Please visit your local Party City store, or contact one of our customer service reps who will help you place an order or address concerns you may have about size, shipping, delivery dates, and anything else Halloween-related.
Are you hosting a Halloween party of gothic proportions?
Preparing the tombstone-lined path to your door, and breaking out the creepy outdoor decorations and Halloween props to spook the trick-or-treaters?
Whether your tastes lean towards the gruesome and gory or rest within the safer confines of kid-friendly and cute, Party City offers a large and ever-growing selection of indoor and outdoor Halloween decor, fog machines, yard and hanging props, treat bags and party favors, and no fewer than 10 complete Halloween party themes, all carefully matched to save you the trouble of having to match items yourself.
Halloween is our biggest season by far.
Although we continue to sell party supplies for other holidays and occasions, Halloween is front and center in every Party City store from August through October.
Many products we sell are made by Party City affiliates, or are exclusive to Party City, so that you can't buy them anywhere else.
As always, all decorations, Halloween party supplies, and accessories are priced to move and quality tested for safety — which is why we don't sell everything, we sell only those products that meet the standards you've come to expect.
So start your Halloween party planning at Party City, where Halloween is always affordable and fun, and where the haunting season never ends!
Here are just few ideas to get you started:
