'Askey is expected to spend this season playing behind former Michigan State sensation Ryan Miller, who signed a two-year contract with Buffalo in August. Fitzpatrick, 27, also played in Rochester last season. The Rochester native had 12 points and 83 penalty minutes in 60 games with the Americans. Also sent to Rochester were forwards Jason Botterill, Sean McMorrow and Chris Taylor, along with defenseman Radoslav Hecl. In addition, 19-year-old forward Derek Roy was returned to his junior team, the Kitchener Rangers of the Ontario Hockey League.'

Sabres slash roster by seven
Sabres' season preview
'ONE TO WATCH: Taylor Pyatt, gained a lot of confidence in the second half of last season and could have a big year this season.'
Other bidders ready to follow Hamister's lead
'"I could see Mark carrying on in the Knox tradition," Masiello said of the Sabres' founding family. "He seems to have all the right stuff."'
Sabres' goalies shine
'"It was a lot of fun," said Boulton, who before the game received a citizenship award from Mayor Peter Kelly. "There were a lot of family and friends here."'
Woolley's goal lifts Sabres past Senators
'The victory was the second is as many nights for the Sabres (3-1-1), who beat Toronto at HSBC Arena Friday night. Buffalo is unbeaten since dropping its exhibition opener to Columbus.'
Partnership lends a hand to the Sabres
'No longer will the team paper the house with thousands of free tickets to fill the arena, as it did under the control of Adelphia Communications Corp. and the Rigas family.'
Sabres sting Senators for second time
Maybe the National Hockey League should operate more teams. It is having pretty good luck with the Buffalo Sabres.
Locals enliven game, fans
'Sabres rookie Ryan Miller had a stellar outing in goal. The Michigan State graduate, named the game's first star, played two periods and stopped 21 of 22 shots.'
Send out Coast Guard
However, with big decisions to make at all positions, and the veterans still trying to find their legs, the Senators had a tough time scoring on Buffalo rookie goalie Ryan Miller before he left after stopping 21-of-22 shots.
Game Story
THREE STARS…Miller – Sabres…Volchenkov – Senators…Woolley – Sabres
Sabres 3, Senators 2
Ales Kotalik and Curtis Brown added first-period goals for the Sabres (3-1-1). Ryan Miller made 21 saves in the first two period, and Mika Noronen stopped six shots in the third.
Buffalo 3, Ottawa 2
'Rookie Ales Kotalik and Curtis Brown scored in a 1:48 span of the second period as the Buffalo Sabres held on for a 3-2 preseason victory over the Ottawa Senators.'
Halifax home game
'Eric Boulton has a unique opportunity — to play NHL hockey in his hometown. The Sackville winger will play his first game in metro in about 10 years Saturday when his Buffalo Sabres meet the Ottawa Senators at the Metro Centre.'
Tallinder's fine play giving Ruff more roster scenarios to ponder
'The Swedish defenseman has had such a brilliant camp, the Sabres might be forced to put him on the opening-night roster. Now Ruff is considering the possibility of keeping eight defensemen instead of the usual seven.'
Gare pressed for time
'"I'm disappointed I'm not on the road," Gare said. "I felt Rick Jeanneret, Jim Lorentz and I had some consistency and that's one of the reasons why we had one of the better broadcasts."'

On Being Pretty
I am not pretty.
Now, the typical response to this is, "Yes, you are!" Even if the people in question have never even met in person. Because maybe this person seems pretty, in the sound of her voice or the style of her writing. Maybe this consoler is one of those people who truly believes that everyone is beautiful. That is a lovely, wonderful ideology that I too subscribe too. Every person is beautiful. But not every person is pretty.
I certainly am not.
Pretty can be hard to define; or, at least harder to define than those words considered its synonyms. And its only companion that carries nearly as much weight is "thin." I have many friends who do not believe that they are …

Since you post in the BT3 beta section I would also advice you to upgrade to BT3 Final, since better broadcom drivers are included, especially for injection.
Hey everyone, I'm new to this fantastic forum, and i like to start with a question that i saw tackled many times on this forum, and i am still little bit confused and hope i can get some clarification.
Broadcom network driver by default is bcm43xx in backtrack 3, which works perfect in monitor mode, but having troubles in managed mode. I'm well aware that the bcm43xx driver doesn't work, or is faulty in managed mode when trying to connect to an AP. So my understanding is that the old bcmwl5.inf (which is the windows driver i believe) will work when i want to enable dhcp. When i go to install it using ndiswrapper using -i /path/bcwml5 it seems to work fine but its still not enough to get it working. I think I'm missing a few steps, most likely i need to disable the old driver and enable this one, when i use airmon-ng i think it still shows the bcm43xx driver, how do i go about this, if anyone can show me the commands for this shell i'd be very grateful, and im sorry if this question has been repeated on this forum and if any additional info can be of service just post and i'll post screen shots Thank You
Since you post in the BT3 beta section I would also advice you to upgrade to BT3 Final, since better broadcom drivers are included, especially for injection.
-Monkeys are like nature's humans.
I saw a few links that pointed out this problem
I just realized it was talking bout back track 2.. but none the less im having problems connecting to an access point, i don't use wirelessassistant for i hear its crap, all i do when i log in to backtrack is
ifconfig eth1 down
iwconfig eth1 essid <networkname> key <passphrase>
ifconfig eth1 up
dhcpcd eth1
everything works good till dhcpcd either it freezes or it finishes and didnt do anything. let me know if im doing something wrong or more information can be given thank you
The first one will delete any previously created configuration files by the dhcpc daemon that might be interfering and the second command kills any running instances of the program.Code:rm /etc/dhcpc/* dhcpcd -k eth1
You should also make sure that your card locks down onto the correct AP before issuing the dhcpcd eth1 command, this can easily be checked by running watch iwconfig eth1 in a separate window. I also advice you to use the command dhcpcd –n –d eth1 instead of the current one as it will output more information about the process and also force your card to use a new local ip address.
Another thing to take into consideration when using a Broadcom chipset is that the TX power of these cards usually are pretty low, meaning that you will have to be quite close to the AP to be able to successfully connect to it.

There are lots of tools out there to help parents keep their kids away from what's typically considered inappropriate online content. Most, however, run on PCs and Macs, which means all bets are off if, for instance, a child surfs via a smartphone or a tablet.
MetaCert has a different idea. It's now beta-testing a server-based porn filter parents can set up to automatically block access to pornographic sites across their entire home network. It does so by hosting the filter on a DNS, or domain-name system, server -- effectively pushing the filter from individual computers into the cloud.
MetaCert isn't the only service using the DNS approach. According to CEO Paul Walsh, though, the company is working on software that will enable parents to easily switch between their filtered DNS and a non-filtered DNS without having to deal with sometimes complicated operating system or browsing settings.
The San Francisco-based company has crawlers that constantly look for pornographic content. They claim to have labeled more than 627 million Web pages.
I wasn't able to test all of MetaCert's assertions, nor did I compare it to other approaches to filtering. But MetaCert is noteworthy in terms of the sheer number of pages it claims to block and its use of crawling software and focused algorithms that aim to keep its database up-to-date.
Walsh said that many porn sites have links to other sites -- often operated by the same people -- so that if a site has a link from a known porn site, it probably also contains porn. However, to make it on the list, it has to have some specific attributes, and if there is any doubt, it's evaluated by staff. Still, there are cases where the software has accidentally blocked sites and if someone finds a site that's been inappropriately blocked, they can report it to the company, which will remove it from the blocked list if it turns out not to be porn.
Although I wasn't able to verify this independently, Walsh said that the company's approach yields very few false positives -- i.e., cases in which a filter inappropriately blocks a non-porn site as porn. (Sites about breast cancer or the safe use of condoms are frequent false-positive victims.)
Walsh sent me an email exchange between his staff and the editor of a gay-news service who complained that his site was incorrectly blocked even though it had no porn. MetaCert told the editor "Unfortunately your website was referenced from a site which had been flagged as XXX and also contained keyword hits which resulted in it being incorrectly categorized as pornographic." The company then unblocked the site. Walsh claims that their MetaCert's error rate is less than 0.3%.
MetaCert only blocks pornography, not sites with violence, drugs or other potentially inappropriate material. "Different people in different countries have a different opinion as to what's appropriate or inappropriate for their children when it comes to subject matter such as violence, gambling, [and] general nudity," Walsh said in a recorded interview (scroll down to listen). "We're focused on the one type of content that 99.9 percent of all parents want to block for their children which is pornography or sexually explicit content."
Products for networks, browsers and iPads
The company offers several more traditional products, including extensions for Chrome and Firefox that block objectionable material. It's also about to release an iOS browser for the iPad. Although Apple doesn't currently offer any filtering of its own, it does allow parents to password protect access to Safari, so it's possible to install MetaCert's browser -- called Olly -- and restrict access to Safari. Parents can still access Safari with the password.
If someone using MetaCert's DNS server tries to access a blocked site, they will be redirected to a page telling them it's blocked content. If the router is configured with the DNS, all devices on the network -- including game consoles, tablets, media players and smart phones connected via WiFi will be protected.
The MetaCert DNS server can't filter sites on devices that access the Internet via cellular or alternative WiFi hotspots, but its Olly iOS browser can still block them.
About half of U.S. parents use parental controls
A 2011 survey commissioned by the Family Online Safety Institute found that 53 percent of parents use some type of tool to monitor or control their child's online behavior. As I pointed out in this post, filters have their place, especially for protecting young children from accidentally stumbling on disturbing content, but they're not a panacea, are not appropriate for all families and all children and should never be used as a substitute to parental involvement.

I started following the bracelet company, Cruciani, on Instagram when they were in my Explore feed and I have fallen in love with their product! They are the original macrame bracelets, the designs are colorful with tons of detail and they are completely flat. The craze of this bracelet originally took off in Italy, went all over Europe, and Japan and now the U.S. The Cruciani collection is vibrant in colors and comes in several designs. It's like a badass friendship bracelet!
I'm a addicted to a new recipe site: KitchenDaily.com! I made a their recipe for Mexican Stuffed Peppers with Quinoa and Black Beans and felt like I was a friggin' professional! The site helps you plan out all of yours meals for the week. It gives you recipes for breakfast lunch and dinner Sunday through Saturday. You can search Kitchen Daily's database for old recipes, check out recipes by category, watch videos on cooking tips, and more! Their recipes are different yet don't call for a lot of ingredients or a lot of weird ingredients which is what I HATE when searching recipes. Their best feature is that you can adjust the amount of people you are cooking for in some of the recipes so you don't have to do math when it comes to portions and ingredients!

A former Utah Jazz coach, a trio of Mormon leaders and a dedicated 10-year-old fundraiser were among those to be honored Thursday evening by Catholic Community Services.
It was the Catholic charity's annual Humanitarian Awards Dinner, held at Little America Hotel in downtown Salt Lake City.
Former Jazz coach and general manager Frank Layden and his wife, Barbara, were named Humanitarians of the Year "for 30-plus years of working to make the Salt Lake City community a better place," said Danielle Stamos, public-affairs coordinator for the charity.
The LDS Church Presiding Bishopric, which oversees the Utah-based faith's financial and temporal affairs, earned another humanitarian award, Stamos said, "for their work both locally and internationally helping those in need."
Two of three members of the bishopric Gary E. Stevenson, presiding bishop, and Dean M. Davies, second counselor were expected to accept the award. Gérald Caussé, the first counselor, is traveling in Africa, Stamos said. Dieter F. Uchtdorf, second counselor in the LDS Church's governing First Presidency, also was expected to be on hand for the dinner.
The University of Utah's Lowell Bennion Community Service Center also received an award for its help in feeding the homeless at St. Vincent de Paul Dining Hall and on behalf of refugees.
Finally, young Armani McFarland, from the Ogden area, earned the Unsung Hero Award for conducting more than eight donation drives, gathering backpacks, food and teddy bears, among other items. She also raised more than $14,000 on her own, Stamos said.

Facial paralysis occurs when a person is no longer able to move some or all of the muscles on one side of the face.
Paralysis of the face
Facial paralysis is almost always caused by:
In people who are otherwise healthy, facial paralysis is often due to Bell palsy. This is a condition in which the facial nerve becomes inflamed.
Stroke may cause facial paralysis. With a stroke, other muscles on one side of the body may also be involved.
Facial paralysis that is due to a brain tumor usually develops slowly. Symptoms can include headaches, seizures, or hearing loss.
In newborns, facial paralysis may be caused by trauma during birth.
Other causes include:
Follow your health care provider's instructions on how to take care of yourself at home. Take any medicines as directed.
If the eye cannot fully close, the cornea must be protected from drying out with prescription eye drops or gel.
Call your provider if you have weakness or numbness in your face. Seek emergency medical help right away if you have these symptoms along with a severe headache, seizure, or blindness.
The health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms, including:
Tests that may be ordered include:
Treatment depends on the cause. Follow your health care provider's treatment recommendations.
The health care provider may refer you to a physical, speech, or occupational therapist. If facial paralysis from Bell palsy lasts for more than 6 to 12 months, plastic surgery may be recommended to help the eye close and improve the appearance of the face.

PHOENIX -- The National Bulk Vendors Association has named Matt Miller, Marzs Vending (Kingwood, TX), chairman of its next seminar program.
NBVA president Steven Schechner, Capital Vending (Florence, AL), said the association's choice for its seminar chairman is well deserved, noting that Miller is not only a longtime and knowledgeable bulk vendor, but he is also the winner of the association's Most Innovative Operator award (2012).
This year's bulk vending workshop will follow a new format. Rather than interspersing the educational schedule around three days of exhibits, all seminars will take place on one day -- Tuesday, March 25 -- the day before the trade show opens. The NBVA show is collocated with Amusement Expo, which takes place at the Las Vegas Convention Center on March 26 and 27.
Because of the change in format, NBVA said it is planning an expanded workshop program, and is expected to announce further details soon.
Founded in 1950, the NBVA is based in Phoenix and is managed by a board of directors who volunteer their time. The 2014 NBVA conference will be the fourth year that the bulk vending trade collocates with Amusement Expo, which is jointly sponsored by the Amusement and Music Operators Association and American Amusement Machine Association.
Visit amusementexpo.org for updated trade show information.

Hey, Babe, and Other NewsBy Dan Piepenbring
- Julian Gough's celebration of Joyce wins the award for Title of the Year: "James Joyce: You can't ignore the bastard." "Joyce entered your life very differently in rural Ireland in the early 1980s. Back then, he still existed outside the official system. Too difficult, too scandalous for school. It was still possible for teenagers to read Joyce as an act of rebellion against teachers, government, church. You read Joyce the way you listened to late punk, or early rap."
- What's the point of infantilizing pet names? "In the mid-twentieth century, Austrian ethologist Konrad Lorenz proposed that babies' cuteness is an evolutionarily advantageous adaptation without which they wouldn't survive; adults need some sort of incentive to provide them with constant care, and Lorenz thought that motive was admiring their cuteness. He believed men carry this preference into adulthood by looking for women who retain elements of babyish 'cuteness.'"

- In 2012, before Kara Walker's exhibition arrived there, David Allee photographed Brooklyn's dilapidated Domino Sugar Factory. "While his pictures could not convey the smell of the factory—'crème brûlée mixed with mold and rot'—he hoped to communicate something about its complicated history … Inside the prison-like spaces, there was also 'a visceral sense that the work that took place here was torturous.' At the same time, he said, 'everything is literally sugar coated.'"

Nope i haven't tried it yet with BT, just wanted to see if anyone else has tried it.
Just out of curiosity has anyone tried using the installer script (which i'm sure is the same one Ubuntu uses) to install to a USB stick?
Under Ubuntu 10.04 i was able to install ubuntu to my usb drive as if it was a HDD. If it is possible with BT that could just eliminate the persistence stuff with unetbootin and LiLi right away.
Nope i haven't tried it yet with BT, just wanted to see if anyone else has tried it.
i used this tutorial, works perfect.
USB Live
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
I was wondering if its so easy to just install it to the usb as if it was like an hdd then why would people do it the hard way where you make a partition on the usb and copy the cd content to it and make another partition to save the changes you make to the system?
The only plus I see to that method is that maybe when you install BT to a usb like a normal hdd install then the system will read and write a lot to the flash memory which might make it degrade a lot faster.
Any ideas regarding these 2 methods ?!

Brevard, N.C. - Belmont Abbey Women's Basketball Coach Susan Yow will be speaking prior to the basketball games between Belmont Abbey and Brevard College on Thursday, December 17th, in regards to the Kay Yow Foundation set up in honor of her sister, Kay Yow, and Breast Cancer Awareness.

A 14-year-old Grantsville boy was injured in a rollover near Wendover on Saturday while driving a car he stole from his parents, the Utah Highway Patrol said.
Multiple motorists on Interstate 80 called 911 after spotting a reckless driver in a blue Jeep Liberty, prompting a trooper to look for the vehicle, UHP spokeswoman Jalaine Hawkes said. The trooper caught up to the westbound Jeep near the Nevada border at about 5 p.m., but the teen failed to stop and ultimately rolled the car into the median, she said.
The trooper at the scene reported that the boy acknowledged purposely speeding up and then jerking the steering wheel to the left to cause the vehicle to roll, Hawkes said.
It was not immediately clear why the boy had taken his parents car or how long he had been away from home, Hawkes said.
The boy's medical condition and injuries were not known Saturday night. He was transported by ambulance to Primary Children's Medical Center, Hawkes said.

SMU's Kyle Padron Selected for Manning Award Watch List

After 25 years without a bowl appearance, SMU turned to rookie quarterback Kyle Padron (official bio) midway through the 2009 campaign and the true freshman led the Mustangs to four wins in their final five regular season games. However, his tremendous bowl performance was the key factor in his being selected as the sixth member of this summer's Manning Award Watch List. The Manning Award, sponsored by the Allstate Sugar Bowl, is releasing the Watch List one player at a time on its official Facebook and Twitter pages. The award has honored the top quarterback in the nation for the past six years.
As a true freshman, Padron took over as SMU's starting signal caller in the eight game of the season and posted a 159.9 passer rating to rank fifth in the nation and finished the year with a 5-1 record as a starter. Proving very adept in coach June Jones' run-and-shoot offense, the youngster tallied 225 or more yards in each of his six starts. However, his true coming-out party was in the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl as he earned MVP honors after passing for a school-record 460 yards and two TDs in SMU's 45-10 win over Nevada. It was SMU's first bowl appearance in 25 years. Padron's bowl effort was ranked as the eighth-best post-season performance by CollegeFootballNews.com. The Mustangs open the 2010 campaign at Texas Tech on Sunday, Sept. 5.

HHS: We're re-branding, because "exchange" doesn't translate into Spanish
posted at 11:58 am on January 31, 2013 by Erika Johnsen
The Obama administration already announced that they are ditching the term health-insurance "exchanges" in favor of "marketplaces" — a case in point of their many concerted effort to deceptively re-brand their central planning with terms that sound more free-market friendly — but a Health and Human Services official is now claiming that the administration is pulling the ol' phraseology-switcheroo in order to make the system more approachable… for Spanish speakers.
"We're going to use the word 'marketplace' because it actually makes sense to people," Gunn said at a conference in Washington, D.C. "'Exchange' doesn't translate to anything in Spanish, but 'marketplace' does."
Effective language is vital to ensure that "the Affordable Care Act [is] real to people in this country," Gunn added.
"We know that 12 million of the people eligible [for the law] speak Spanish, and one million more speak a language other than English or Spanish. These are the people we need to reach," he said.

'John Carter's' Taylor Kitsch + 12 Hot Guys Who Have Been Stuck On Alien Planets
In honor of the release of John Carter and its delicious star, Taylor Kitsch, we've rounded up a whole bunch of hot guys who have been stranded on alien planets for you to drool over.
-Lucia Peters
How long has it been since you've seen a really good alien movie, Bettys? I'm not talking about weird, half-coherent things like Cowboys and Aliens; I mean something really, really good, something maybe that hearkens back to the way we thought of sci-fi during times gone by.
Well, if you're craving a good old-fashioned adventure story in the grand tradition with a modern twist, Disney (surprisingly) has something up its sleeve you might enjoy: John Carter, due out this Friday, March 9. Based off of Tarzan author Edgar Rice Burrough's novel A Princess of Mars (which, by the way, was the film's original title), John Carter stars the yummy Taylor Kitsch as a former American Civil War Confederate Army captain who is mysteriously transported to Mars and has all sorts of wacky adventures while he's there. Fun!
But John Carter isn't the first unfortunate, extremely attractive guy to get stuck on an alien planet. In fact, he's just joined a long line of similar dudes. So who's he keeping company with? Read on to find out!
(Note: Sometimes, "alien" doesn't have to mean Mars or whatever. To some characters, Earth can be pretty alien, especially if they're not originally from it. So keep an open mind, yes?)
1. Mark Wahlberg and Charlton Heston, Planet of the Apes
(Alert: SPOILERS if you haven't seen and/or ever plan on seeing either of these films.) It is possible that the 2001 remake of the original 1968 Planet of the Apes was entirely unnecessary. In fact, I am almost certain that it was. However, on the plus side it means that we've got not one, but two candidates for our Hot Guys Who Have Been Stranded On Alien Planets list from it: Mark Wahlberg and Charlton Heston. Of course, we know from the big reveal at the end that the planet Mark and Charlton crash landed on isn't technically "alien" at all, but rather a post-apocalyptic Earth. I would argue, though, that the planet is still alien, just in that "this is nothing at all like anything I know" sense rather than in the "little green (or grey, according to The X-Files) men" sense.
2. Sam Worthington, Avatar
This is one of those "stuck on an alien planet" tales that has a happy ending: Sam Worthington's Jake isn't stranded, but rather makes a life for himself there after he's transferred from his human body into his Na'vi avatar. The plot of Avatar may essentially be Fern Gully: The Last Rainforest, but whatever, we'll take it—especially if it involves Sam Worthington!
3. Guy Pearce, The Time Machine
Not unlike Planet of the Apes, this is an example of an alien planet that was once Earth and now no longer is—or at least, it's not Earth as we (or as Guy Pearce) knew it. That said, even if humans have reverted to a primitive lifestyle, life in 802,701 can't be so bad if Guy decided to stay there, right?

4. Cillian Murphy, Sunshine
Okay, so the sun is technically a star, but given that all the planets in our solar system revolve around it, we're given it planet-like importance. But what happens if the sun ever goes out? We're all screwed, is what—unless we can get Cillian Murphy to take a dangerous trip out there to jump start it. Bonus hot guy: Chris Evans.
5. Harrison Ford, The Empire Strikes Back
Man. Not only did Han Solo get stranded first in Cloud City, then with Jabba the Hutt, but he got frozen in carbonite while it was all happening. Talk about getting the short end of the stick.
More hot guys stuck on weird planets, including Keanu Reeves, up next!

University earns top 'green' rating by Princeton Review
The University of South Carolina has earned a top "green" rating by the Princeton Review, scoring 95 out of a possible 99.
The university was rated higher than all public colleges in South Carolina and earned the second highest rating among all universities in the Southeastern Conference. The University of Florida earned a rating of 97.
Under the leadership of President Harris Pastides, the university has strengthened its commitment to sustainability and taken steps at every level of campus to create a community that is healthier and more engaged in environmental matters.
"Sustainability and support for environmental issues permeate all aspects of campus life at the University of South Carolina, from the dining halls where we serve locally grown produce in biodegradable containers to the classrooms where our students are exposed to environmental topics in a variety of disciplines to the residence halls where our students are encouraged to live in an environmentally aware fashion," Pastides said. "Sustainability is part of the fabric of life here at Carolina and not a compartmentalized issue."
Dr. and Mrs. Pastides lead green by example as evidenced by the car they drive, the vegetable gardens in their backyard and various sustainable practices they have implemented in the President's House.
Michael Koman, director of sustainability at the university, credits the high mark by Princeton Review to the combination of leadership, the hard work of faculty and staff and a student body that is becoming increasingly green-focused.
"It is great to see the efforts of our students, faculty and staff recognized for all their hard work to make our campus more sustainable," said Koman. "Not only does it reflect our years of effort to green our campus but also to educate our campus community."
Koman said growth and leadership of environmentally focused student organizations and an array of student-led green initiatives, including Recyclemania, Sustainability Week and a National Teach In, played a key role in the green rating. Other contributing factors included the university's efforts to reduce energy consumption and cost, commitments to sustainability that range from a green building policy to sustainability education, and successful programs that address climate change, resource conservation and education and outreach such as the Healthy Carolina Initiative.
Examples of campus greening this past year are many, including the replacement of all incandescent light bulbs with energy- and money-saving compact fluorescent bulbs, the use of green cleaning products by custodial staff and vendors on campus and the launch of the Healthy Carolina Farmers Market, which makes fresh and organic vegetables and foods available to the campus and surrounding community.
The newest example of campus greening is the opening of the fourth green building, a new residence hall for South Carolina honors students, this week. The Honors Residence, located between Sumter and Main streets where the Towers once stood, has been designed and constructed to Gold LEED standards as established by the U.S. Green Building Council. The university's other green buildings include Green (West) Quad residence hall, the Arnold School of Public Health and The Ernest F. Hollings Special Collections Library, which is being constructed behind the Thomas Cooper Library.
"We still have a long way to go, but as we expand and improve our initiatives, we hope to build on the recent momentum," Koman said. "That, combined with the growing interest of our students in improving their surroundings, should help us reach our goal and set examples for others."
The Princeton Review developed its Green Rating criteria and institutional survey in 2007 with ecoAmerica, a non-profit environmental organization. The criteria for the rating encompass three broad areas: 1) quality of life on campus that is healthy and sustainable; 2) efforts to prepare students for employment and citizenship in a world defined by environmental challenges; and 3) overall commitment to environmental issues.

Spirit Breakout: Unexpectedly Encountering God at an Academic Conference
Jennifer Miskov (center), Ph.D., wrote an account of her experience at SPS this year which has been published by Ministry Today:
Jennifer is the history interest group leader for the SPS, founding director of Destiny House and author of several books, including Life on Wings: The Forgotten Life and Theology of Carrie Judd Montgomery, Spirit Flood: Rebirth of Spirit Baptism for the 21st Century, Silver to Gold: A Journey of Young Revolutionaries and others.
More than 300 of the world's leading Pentecostal and Charismatic
scholars recently gathered at Evangel University in Springfield,
Missouri, for the 43rd annual meeting of the Society for Pentecostal
Studies (SPS) held March 6-8.
As SPS Executive Director, Dr. Lois Olena, associate professor at
the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary, explains, "Our annual
meeting is more than a gathering of academics presenting papers. SPS
provides a rare blending of ages, genders, ethnicities and nearly
200 different academic institutions and 100 denominations sharing
not only their scholarship, but times of worship as well."
"But what we experienced this year was what we at AGTS call
knowledge on fire," Olena says of the event she and SPS first vice
president and program chair Dr. Kenneth J. Archer of Southeastern
University have been planning for two years. "On Thursday night,
following a powerful plenary session, there was a message in tongues
and interpretation. Then on Friday, there was a sovereign move of
God. We experienced a moment of brokenness together where a wave of
God's Spirit washed over us — professors weeping, side by side, in
the presence of God — reminding us of His healing, purposeful work
in us. A strong sense of God's presence permeated the entire meeting
this year — including during Dr. Lee Roy Martin's presidential
address — and even the business meeting!"
"It is exciting to see those who have such an influence on
Pentecostal and charismatic believers experiencing the presence of
God in such a powerful way," states Dr. George O. Wood, general
superintendent of the Assemblies of God. "I pray the power of the
Spirit will continue to flow through them, anointing their writings,
and be a catalyst for revival throughout the Pentecostal world."
"Hermeneutics and the Spirit: Identities, Communities, and Making of
Meaning" was the theme set by Archer for this year's SPS meeting.
Speakers examined how the Holy Spirit works within the various
academic disciplines to help believers form theological communities
and interpret communal practices. Given the diversity of SPS members
and the greater Pentecostal world, of particular focus was the role
that ethnicity, gender and culture play on interpreting Scripture
and the Pentecostal practices of Christianity. The program's plenary
sessions intentionally reflected theological, ethnic and gender
diversity, which Archer observed, God honored with a sense of His
"What occurs during SPS meetings has significant impact upon the
global Pentecostal and charismatic world, including the local
church," Olena emphasizes. "SPS meetings are designed to cultivate
our [scholars'] minds, understand ourselves as Pentecostals, and
understand the Pentecostal world. But significant to the church
world is that what we do here ultimately influences what is
communicated through books, blogs, journals, articles, papers and
other resources to ministers, students and people in the pew. Often,
what SPS scholars research, write, and present in these sessions
today is what you read tomorrow concerning the Pentecostal and
charismatic understanding of the Holy Spirit and His work in the
world. That's why we bathe this event in prayer every year."
"It is also important to understand," observes Jennifer Hall,
promotions coordinator for AGTS, "that there is such a thing as
serious Pentecostal scholarship happening across denominations and
around the world. And the influential participation of AG people
ensures that the AG has a significant role in the shaping of written
Pentecostal theology and thought."
Olena says that nearly 40 AG scholars, including representatives
from AGTS/Evangel, Global University, North Central University,
Northwest University, Southeastern University, Southwestern
Assemblies of God University, Trinity Bible College, Valley Forge
Christian College, Vanguard University, and the Flower Pentecostal
Heritage Center presented or served as panelists in this year's SPS,
allowing numerous Assemblies of God scholars to speak into the
purposes of the Society. In addition, this was the first year for
SPS to have a Student Caucus, with 30 graduate students interacting
with scholars, engaging in workshops, and offering their vision for
the future.
"I experienced God in a profound way at SPS again this year," states
SPS student member Justin Gottuso in a post. "I received clarity on
my vocation and ministry calling into Pentecostal and charismatic
scholarship, witnessed 'history' at the first [SPS] Student Caucus
event, met so many amazing scholars and students, and received
sage-like wisdom from two pre-eminent P/C [Pentecostal/charismatic]
As part of the SPS annual meeting, several prestigious awards were
presented. Included among them was The Foundation for Pentecostal
Scholarship's 2014 Award of Excellence, awarded to AG Missionary
Robert P. Menzies for his book, Pentecost: This Story Is Our Story,
published by Gospel Publishing House.
Dr. Trevor Grizzle, professor of New Testament at Oral Roberts University, in a Q&A session.
"The Pentecostal academic community honored one of its own for
authoring a compelling book that provides an introduction to
Pentecostal theology and identity," says Darrin Rodgers, SPS member
and director of the AG Flower Pentecostal Heritage Center. "Menzies'
… heart for the church led him to make … Pentecostal theology
accessible to the people in the pew."
Dr. Randy Hedlun, vice provost of Global University, was also
honored during the SPS meeting. He was presented with a Declaration
of Excellence award by The Foundation for Pentecostal Scholarship
for an article he recently authored titled, "Rethinking Luke's
Purpose: The Effect of First-Century Social Conflict."
Also honored by SPS was Dr. Benny Aker, professor emeritus of New
Testament Exegesis at AGTS, on the occasion of a book written in his
honor by several SPS members—including AG educators — But These are
Written: Essays on Johannine Literature in Honor of Professor Benny
C. Aker.
This is the fourth time in the 44-year history of the SPS for the
event to be hosted in Springfield. Olena explains that AGTS and
Evangel were selected for this year's event in light of the 100th
anniversary of the Assemblies of God, celebrated at the SPS closing
banquet. Since the annual meeting rotates to various geographical
regions of the country, next year's meeting will be held at
Southeastern University (AG) in Lakeland, Florida.

Thread: Flemish Twist String Jig
Flemish Twist String Jig
My project is a Flemish Twist Bow String Making Jig.
Now I must admit, I am a "Neanderthal Woodworker" (Galoot) at heart, and love to do things the old fashioned way as much as practical. However, I'm not a purist unless a client demands it, and is willing to pay for it. I will sacrifice a few electrons to speed my progress along where it will not effect the final "traditional look and feel" of the finished piece.
I also have a wood fetish. I have a compulsion to collect odd bits and scraps of unique wood, for "some future purpose", and love it when I can put one of those pieces to good use. While digging through my pile, I found a lovely piece of Honey Locust that was already roughly the right size, It had a protective seal-coat of Blond Shellac already applied about 10 years ago. So I grabbed it and my needful hand tools to get started:
I like laying out on paper, since it is easier to correct mistakes without leaving a lasting impression in the wood. I have a 36" wide by 1000' foot roll of red craft paper for this purpose. In some cases such as this one, I will adhere the paper to the workpiece using 3M's "Super 77" spray adhesive.
Just a light mist, let it dry until just slightly tacky, apply it and trim.
Hint: The longer you let it dry the easier it is to remove later.
I employed my beautiful Cocobolo handled Layout Knife made by my good friend Patrick Leach, proprietor of The Superior Works for the trimming task.
I carefully laid out my dimensions on the paper for the "stepped" end.
Then measured out to the opposite end:
You get the idea, right?
OK, time to do some more careful measuring and layout:
I went back and triple-checked everything. Now is the time to correct ant errors before they are committed to the wood!
Being satisfied everything was spot-on, I made some dimples with my automatic center punch and exaggerated them with my (antique) ivory handled tapered reamer.
Next, I laid out and scribed the baselines for the "cutting groove" w/ my layout knife. The plan is to rout it out and possibly install some alternate, softer, wood in the "floor" of the dado to keep from dulling my cutting tool. possibly even bevel the shoulders a bit.
I went over all my "dimples" and lines with a sharpie marker to highlight them after the removal of the paper.
Time to remove the paper!
Obviously, I did not heed my own advice and wait long enough for the spray adhesive to dry before I applied it to the wood. But, as the wood already has a sealer coat of shellac, the application of a plastic kitchen scraper makes short work of it.
Stay tuned for the next exciting episode.. making sawdust!SandSquid

Will return sometime in early/mid 2012.
Finally, I made a string!

You use multiple "posts" (pegs) so you get a gradual taper when you twist the ends closed vice a step, it helps lock everything together.
here are some abbreviated destructions:
Use at least two different colors of string for your own sanity!
It makes for a prettier string and is easier to keep track of what you're doing while making the string.
You'll need to decide if you want to make a two ply or three ply string.
(I have done up to a 4 color string, that was "fun")
A two ply string is made from two bundles of twisted strands while a three ply string uses three bundles, etc. A two ply string is easier to make.
Achor the end of the string to the top left-hand post.
If your desired string is, as it is for me, 60 inches long, find the 60 inch position marked on the board and start winding the strands onto the jig until you have 6 strands of string (for a 2 bundle 12 strand string)on the jig.
When you have done that, run the spool to the next pin as if to wind another strand. You're not going to wind another but when you cut the string it keeps all the strands at the correct length.
Now cut the strands right down the center line between the top posts.
Carefully pull the bundle off the jig making sure that the ends of the strings don't move. You'll notice that the ends of each strand is slightly shorter than the others. Staggering the string ends helps to lock each strand in place as you make the bowstring loops. Set this bundle aside and repeat the process using a different color of B-50 Dacron string.
Wax both ends of each string bundle for about 10 inches.
Lay both bundles side by side so that the longest strand in each bundle is aligned with the other.
Grasp both bundles about 8 inches back from the ends. Hold the bundles between your thumb and forefinger.
(This is where you should go to YouTube and find a video of the process!!!)
Using your other hand, twist the top bundle six or seven times away from your body.
Now take the twisted bundle and rotate it towards your body.
The bottom bundle is now on top and vice versa.
Keep repeating this twisting and rotating process until you have braided enough to form the loop for the top limb on your bow. The width of this loop will vary as does width of different bow limbs. The loop should be wide enough so that it will slide down the bow limb 5 or 6 inches when the bow is unstrung.
Form the loop, make sure you align the bundles same color to same color, forming one larger bundle of each
Grasp the bundles at the bottom of the loop and twist the two bundles of same color together.
Holding these two bundles between the thumb and forefinger, perform the same twisting and rotating process until the last tag end of the strings have been braided into the bow- string.
After finishing the top loop, separate both bundles all the way down to the bottom.
Take your 8 inch measurement at the bottom of the bundles and repeat the whole process again just as you did when forming the top loop.
When braiding the bottom loop you may have to stop occasionally to separate the bundles.
The bottom loop has to be just wide enough to fit over the nocks on your bottom bow limb.
Now that you have completed the loops you will need to put a twist into the bowstring. Make sure you twist the bowstring in the same direction as your braids otherwise you will untwist the loops.
Put the string on your bow and adjust for proper brace height.
Allow the string to stretch for a day or two or go out and shoot the bow.
Remember to keep adjusting the brace height by twisting or untwisting the string until all the stretch has been worked out of the string.SandSquid

Will return sometime in early/mid 2012.
Let me add, that if you are paranoid that you are going to pull your braided ends loose, you can serve over them, but I have NEVER pulled the ends apart. Except for last night when I was playing with my new Yellowstone Micro Stretcher and wanted to see just how much tension it could generate, and to see just how much it would take to pull the ends apart, it took a LOT! easily 4X the amount of strain the string will ever see in practical, sane useage... unless you are using it as a leader while trolling for yellowfin tuna or something.

What is in this article?:
- Samsung Overtakes Nokia to Become the World's Biggest Mobile Seller
- Top Five Mobile Sellers
After 14 years at the top, Nokia (IW 1000/61) has finally been overtaken by Samsung (IW 1000/12) as the world leader in mobile sales.
We can't say we didn't see this coming.
Over the last few months, Nokia has been hit with an avalanche of bad news. Even with its partnership with Microsoft Corp. (IW 500/16) to release the ambitious new Lumia 900 smartphone and the wildly aggressive marketing campaign that accompanied it, the company has found itself unable to capture its share of the market, posting a $1.2 billion loss last quarter.
As a result, the company has been downgraded by both S&P and Moody's, which maintained its negative rating, prompting a preemptive announcement by for Nokia's chairman, Jorma Ollila on Finnish TV last week announcing its fall from the top.
Through all of this, Samsung's Galaxy Note and Galaxy S II smartphones have sent the company on a sort of meteoric rise, boasting a record $4.4 billion in first quarter profits and a staggering 267% increase in smartphone sales.
After weeks of speculation as to what this profit disparity would mean for the global ranking between the two companies, today's report from the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker finally confirmed that Samsung has taken the lead. And by a rather wide margin, too.
"The halcyon days of rapid growth in the smartphone market have been good to Samsung," said Kevin Restivo, senior research analyst with IDC's Worldwide Mobile Phone Tracker program. "Samsung has used its established relationships with carriers in a mix of economically diverse markets to gain share organically and at the expense of former high fliers such as Nokia."
With 93.8 million total mobile devices shipped last quarter, Samsung claimed a 23.5% market share, reflecting a 35.4% year over year increase. Nokia, meanwhile, shipped 82.7 million units for a 20.8% share, down 23.8% from last year.
In the booming smartphone market, Nokia fell 50.8% year over year with only 11.9 million units sold, compared to 35.1 million by Apple Inc. (IW 500/14) and 42.2 million by Samsung.
Despite these setbacks, Nokia remains hopeful for renewed vigor through the rest of the year.
"Nokia was number one for 14 years and still has the chance to be so again," Ollila said. "I am absolutely convinced there is a turn-around in sight."

Simply unplug the power cord from your cable box for about 30 seconds, then plug it back in and turn your cable box back on and everything will be back to normal.

Just wanted to add some information that may be helpful. I have been receiving this error message for the last 3 weekends in a row. The first 2 weekends I was able to get the signal working again after simply unplugging my Comcast HD box for a minute or so. However, last night I received the error again and the unplug/replug to reset the box did not resolve the issue this time. I called Comcast and received automated message that there were outages in my area, so I went to bed. This was strange because my Comcast box (non HD) was working, so how could there be an outage in my area. After 45 minutes of frustration on the phone with a technician, I discovered that the coax cable was broken that was connected to a splitter (split to cable modem) and into my box. I unplugged this earlier and it seemed to be ok, but apparently it was lose and the end piece came off completely. Once I replaced the coax cable with a spare one I had in the house the signal came back immediately.
Thank you!!! got my problem fixed!!

I spent entire day dealing with this.
I wanted to know if there was an outtage in my neighborhood.
Comcast online trouble shoot page just linked me back to page one.
Comcast online chat told me she had tested and my cable box was bad, so I drove to nearest city (an hour round trip) to get a new one. No change.
Three calls later I gave up on trouble shoot phone line, when they suggested there might be an outtage! (6 hours after I had tried to find out if that was the problem).
At that point my kid came in and said he had found that the cable was broken, apparently hit by a logging truck, one part on one side of road, other part on other.
Ha.Amazingly, the Comcast truck was dispatched and here out in no man's land and fixed an hour or so later.
Just saying, it could be anything. The code is pretty useless and deceivingly technical.

James, Thank you! That worked and my cable tv is working again. Great information!
What you do is this you have to cycle your turn ons. Basically it's very simple you hit tv button then hit power. Then you hit cable then hit power then I hit all on and the stupid page comes up where you have grid and some random things get up and turn your tv off then on by pressing off and on "On the TV Button"

James, P.D. Death Comes to Pemberley.
P.D. James takes on life after Pride and Prejudice in her newest book, delighting mystery and Jane Austen fans alike. On the eve of Pemberley's annual Lady Anne's Ball, six years after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Darcy's household is brutally disrupted by a hysterical uninvited guest, Lizzie's sister, Lydia. She claims that her husband, Lt. George Wickham has been murdered by his friend Capt. Martin Denny in the woods. But upon investigation, it seems that the opposite is true and the inhabitants of Pemberley must cancel the ball and mount a murder investigation in its stead.
Infused with Lizzie's signature wit, the plot explores the secrets, pasts and hidden agendas of the characters. And It's no surprise that Mr. and Mrs. Darcy are fantastic sleuths. James does a wonderful job capturing Austen's style while also adding a little life to the familiar; a winning take on the classic.

Athens, GREECE – Qatar Airways has announced it will launch direct scheduled flights from Athens to New York from the middle of 2013.
Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker addresses media during a press briefing in Athens, at which he announced the airline will launch scheduled flights between the Greek capital and New York next year.
Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker made the announcement in Athens on the occasion of the airline's eight-year presence in Greece and to commemorate the carrier's increasingly strong operations in the country.
While in the Greek capital, Al Baker met with Athens-based media, reinforcing the airline's commitment to continue growing its operations in Greece. Qatar Airways already flies double daily linking the Greek capital with its operational hub in Doha.
Athens is a key point on the airline's 31-strong European route network, introduced in 2004 initially with six-flights-a-week. The carrier increased capacity to double-daily three years ago.
The Athens route continues to grow with strong demand despite the financial crisis in the country.
Al Baker said: "The Athens – Doha route has become the number one intercontinental destination in absolute number of passengers at Athens International Airport, surpassing for the first time in the airport's history, New York City.
"And launching this new route from Athens to New York from the middle of next year will provide passengers with an even more unique travel experience, strengthening Qatar Airways' reputation as the airline of choice for leisure and business travellers."
In a brief presentation of the airline's chart to success in just 15 years of operations, Al Baker highlighted the fact that the airline had become a pillar of the State of Qatar's economic growth thereby spreading the nation's wings all around the world.
Qatar Airways marks eight years of flying to Athens this year. The airline's CEO Akbar Al Baker, pictured right, at a press briefing in the Greek capital alongside Chief Executive of Athens Airport Authority Ioannis Paraschis; Qatar Airways Vice President Europe Paul Johannes, third right, and Qatar Airways Commercial Manager Greece, Alexandros Michalopoulos.
He stated that Qatar Airways will continue to expand its role as a global connector that brings people to the world and the world to people, through an ever expanding network of a young fleet and its award-winning five-star service.
Describing the Athens route as "a combined symbol of a home base and a gateway", Al Baker stated that the "ties that have been forged between us during these past eight years extend the horizons of a solid and lasting cooperation between Qatar Airways and Greece which are here to stay. And it is here to grow further."
Qatar Airways currently flies a modern fleet of 114 aircraft to 121 key business and leisure destinations across Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, North America and South America.
Al Baker referred to the airline's global expansion strategy stating that in 2012, Qatar Airways' route portfolio was enriched with new route launches from Qatar to diverse destinations worldwide: Azerbaijan, Georgia, Rwanda, Croatia, Iraq, Australia, Tanzania, Myanmar, Serbia and Mozambique.
Poland will be served by Qatar Airways from December 5, rounding off a remarkable year of expansion, while Cambodia and Chicago, the carrier's fourth US gateway, are among the highlights of 2013.
Since the beginning of 2012, Qatar Airways has launched flights to 11 new destinations – Baku (Azerbaijan); Tbilisi (Georgia); Kigali (Rwanda); Zagreb (Croatia), Erbil (Iraq), Baghdad (Iraq), Perth (Australia), Kilimanjaro (Tanzania); Yangon (Myanmar), Maputo (Mozambique) and Belgrade (Serbia).
Over the next few weeks and months, Qatar Airways will launch scheduled services to a diverse portfolio of new routes, including Gassim, Saudi Arabia (7 January 2013); Najaf, Iraq (January 23); Phnom Penh, Cambodia (February 20); Chicago, USA (April 10); and Salalah, Oman (May 22).
Qatar Airways currently has orders worth over US$50 billion for more than 250 aircraft, including Boeing 787s, 777s, Airbus A350s, A380s and A320 Family of aircraft. In addition to winning Skytrax's prestigious Airline of the Year 2011 and 2012, Qatar Airways was named Best Airline in the Middle East for the seventh year in a row, and its Premium Terminal at Doha International Airport was named Best Premium Service Airport for the second consecutive year in 2012. Skytrax is the only global independent passenger survey monitoring airline standards and is considered the ultimate benchmark for excellence in the airline industry. In October 2012, Qatar Airways became the first of the major Gulf carriers to officially join a global alliance having been invited into the oneworld group.

Frugality Is the New Black
Parents and families are shifting to a new value system where keeping up with the Joneses is out and teaching the kids about responsible spending is in. Also in, according to a recent report from Starcom and Nickelodeon: putting brands' feet to the fire and demanding they prove their worth to consumers who increasingly buy generic products in a hunt for deals.By Steve McClellan
Parents and families are shifting to a new value system where keeping up with the Joneses is out and teaching the kids about responsible spending is in. Also in, according to a recent report from Starcom and Nickelodeon: putting brands' feet to the fire and demanding they prove their worth to consumers who increasingly buy generic products in a hunt for deals.
Those are some of the key findings in a joint research effort that explored how the recession has affected family dynamics, relationships to brands and spending patterns.
The research -- which is being shared with clients but not released widely -- was conducted over fourth-quarter 2008 and first-quarter 2009, and included nationally representative online surveys of 1,000 parents with kids aged 2 to 17 and 700 children aged 8 to 17. Qualitative parental responses were culled from blogs.
"Frugality is cool, or the new black, if you will," said Ron Geraci, svp, research at Viacom-owned Nickelodeon. Parents, he said, indicated that they had become "stressed out" by the pressure of having to keep up with "neighbors and friends in the acquisition of cars, trips and homes." The recession, he added, has provided relief from that burden.
According to the survey, 72 percent of those polled said they agreed with the statement, "It's no longer important to keep up with the Joneses," while 48 percent said that as a result of cutbacks in the family budget "we have redefined what's truly meaningful in our lives."
Over 60 percent of those polled said they were buying more store brands than previously, while 73 percent said they had started using coupons more. Almost half (46 percent) said they would take a "staycation" and spend time at home as opposed to traveling.
According to Geraci, the survey indicates that for premium brands "long-standing relationships with consumers are now being questioned. Brands have to prove themselves all over again, passing a test that goes through the filter of this new consumer mindset."
Kathy Kline, SVP, director of consumer context planning at Publicis Groupe's Starcom, added that "brands have to understand that things have changed. They need to earn their place at the table by understanding their targets, providing value and demonstrating the fundamental benefits they offer to consumers."
Kline said the behavioral shifts happened quickly -- in the span of just six months -- and are likely to be long lasting. "What we're seeing is a pretty dramatic shift in how people are thinking about money and finances and needs vs. wants," she said.
While brands are still important, Kline said, blind loyalty to premium products is out, particularly if a competitor appears to offer more.
"Parents are asking different questions about value and when it's appropriate to pay a premium for a brand," she said.
Traditionally, Geraci noted, parents tended to shelter their children from financial realities and avoided the topic. But the worst recession in several generations has apparently changed that, with almost three-quarters of both parents and kids surveyed indicating that they have engaged in discussions about how to save money.
"Remember where we're coming from as a nation," said Geraci. "The credit-funded spending and disregard for finances is what got us into the mess. Now those conversations that should have been happening are happening."
Kline added that it often takes a major event, like a recession, "to shake people up and remind them about what's really important."
The recession also appears to be changing media-usage patterns with significantly more home entertainment occurring over the last six months. More than three-quarters of respondents said they were watching more movies and TV shows at home.
"More co-viewing is occurring" between parents and kids, said Geraci. (In June, according to Nielsen, ABC's "Wipeout" and Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance" were two of the top network shows viewed by kids 2 to 11 watching with adults 18 to 49. On the cable side, Nick's "SpongeBob SquarePants" and Disney's "Mickey Mouse Club" were two of the top co-viewed shows in June.)
Forty-three percent of those surveyed said they were watching more Netflix or Blockbuster movies at home. The same percentage also reported an increase in co-viewing via "family movie night," while 38 percent reported playing more video games together.
And the research showed that non-media family activities are also on the rise compared to six months ago. For example, 74 percent said their families spend more time cooking together, while 57 percent reported an increase in playing outside together.
Jim Perry, Nick's EVP, 360 Brand Sales, said the network would present the research to clients in the coming weeks to show them how the consumer outlook has changed and to help them fine-tune ad messages to consumers.
"Consumers are looking to spend less and get more, and now is the time when you need your brand to resonate more than ever," Perry said.
Chris Boothe, Starcom's president of activation, said that with clients such as Kellogg's on its roster, the research "is a logical extension to our approach to the market."

pfSense. I believe they even have a LiveCD as well as a VM.
is it possible to use BT as a router? Its not easy to find a livecd router. I already have an IPCop router but its mainly intended for hdd/compact flash usage and m0n0 is not capable of using WLAN devices as source i think. Something small like Backtrack on x86 base would be great.
Any ideas or alternatives?
pfSense. I believe they even have a LiveCD as well as a VM.
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
dynamips would work. You can even run it in a VM. You will need a copy of a Cisco IOS though.
That sounds interesting. Didn't know about cisco emulators. Cool piece indeed.
I will also test pfSense. Looks like monos big brother. Maybe i should check out mono betas for wlan-stick source capabilities as well. Maybe my stick just wasn't supported in the stable version. Will check that as well...
Should keep me working for some days. Thank you!
I 2nd the vote for pfSense
dd if=/dev/swc666 of=/dev/wyze
i run a couple pfsense boxes on my home network and really like it as well.
ding fries are done!!!!
Mono and pfSense don't support USB-Sticks as source. Only Static, DHCP, PPTP and PPP are supported.
What about Dynamips? Anyone know for sure its working with it? Any suggestions about suitable IOS?
dynamips won't work by itself as on O/S. It's an application. It will work from within a linux or windows environment (as I mentioned earlier, I run mine from within a Windows VM image). As for suitable IOS, depends on what you are looking to do. I've used 12.X series IOS for 2600 series routers (although these are a bit dated, they work for my requirements).What about Dynamips? Anyone know for sure its working with it? Any suggestions about suitable IOS?
You run it in a windows vm on a linux host?
I don't think the cisco routers will handle wlan sticks directly with all the drivers and wlan encryption options. The only chance i probably have is that i can configure wlan0 with all options and pass/map that preconfigured interface to the router. Its maybe even possible in BT4.
I need 'wlan0 IN' and 'eth0 OUT'.
