I have written this guide due to the recent difficulties I had getting my Harmony 880 remote's custom buttons working on a minimial installation of Ubuntu Jaunty Jackelope w/ XBMC 9.11 Camelot. There is a lot of good, but confusing information on the boards on this topic, so this guide is intended to be a clear, non-confusing step-by-step through the process. You should follow these steps in order to get your Harmony Remote's custom buttons working to perform XBMC functions. We will be doing this for the Harmony 880, but these instructions should apply to almost all Harmony models.
So lets dive in!
- minimal install of Jaunty or Karmic (or XBMC Live installed to HDD)
- XBMC 9.11 Camelot (or newer SVN build)
- Lirc should already be installed (however, I will show you how)
- an IR receiver (not IRda) connected to to your HTPC
- a Harmony Universal Remote
In this guide we will be using the Original XBOX DVD Dongle (from the DVD Playback Kit) as our IR receiver. However, most of the following instructions will apply as long as you already have your Harmony working with basic buttons in XBMC with whatever IR receiver you have. For instructions on attaching the XBox DVD dongle to to your HTPC with a USB cable, see
HERE, or if you can't solder or just want to do it the easy way, buy one of THESE.
Make sure Lirc is Installed & Setup your lircd.conf File.
We are assuming that Lirc is already installed on your HTPC, and that you already have your basic buttons working on your Harmony remote. However, if not do the following:
On your HTPC press CTRL+ALT+F2 to bring up the terminal. (alternately you can SSH into your HTPC and perform the steps from a remote terminal session)
sudo apt-get install lirc
You will be prompted to install Lirc. Press Y and hit enter.
Ok, so now that Lirc is installed, we need to setup our lircd.conf file so that Lirc knows about our remote.
At the terminal Type:
sudo nano /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
You can now use the arrow keys to move down and enter the necessary button and remote codes for your device (or past them in).
The lircd.conf file if you are using the Xbox DVD Playback Kit should look something like this:
begin remote
name XboxDVDDongle
bits 8
begin codes
SELECT 0x0b
UP 0xa6
DOWN 0xa7
RIGHT 0xa8
LEFT 0xa9
INFO 0xc3
9 0xc6
8 0xc7
7 0xc8
6 0xc9
5 0xca
4 0xcb
3 0xcc
2 0xcd
1 0xce
0 0xcf
DISPLAY 0xd5
BACK 0xd8
SKIP- 0xdd
SKIP+ 0xdf
STOP 0xe0
REVERSE 0xe2
FORWARD 0xe3
TITLE 0xe5
PAUSE 0xe6
PLAY 0xea
MENU 0xf7
end codes
end remote
Once all codes have entered, press CTRL+O and then ENTER to save the file. Then press CTRL+X to return to the terminal.
Now that our lircd.conf has been setup, lets test and see if we have basic commands working on our Harmony remote in XBMC.
Go ahead and type:
sudo reboot
Your HTPC will reboot and boot back into XBMC.

History-making quartet in concert
January 18, 2013
When the Marian Anderson String Quartet came together in September 1989, they had no idea that they would made history just three years later when they won the International Cleveland Quartet Competition, becoming the first African-American ensemble to win a classical music competition.
InConcert Sierra will present this award-winning quartet to Grass Valley at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
The quartet is named for the great contralto Marian Anderson.
The quartet's distinguished history includes performances throughout the United States and abroad, including the San Luis Obispo Mozart Festival and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.
In 1993, the Marian Anderson String Quartet performed at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., as part of the 52nd presidential inaugural celebration.
The Marian Anderson String Quartet has also been on the faculty of numerous universities throughout the country.
"I was intrigued when I first ran across the MASQ by their story and their championing the music of African-American composers.
"I was delighted upon listening to them to find that they are truly an accomplished performance ensemble," said Ken Hardin, artistic director.
The quartet will perform "Danzas of Panama" by William Grant Still, an African-American classical composer who also made history as the first African-American to conduct a major American symphony orchestra, the first to have a symphony performed by a leading orchestra and the first to have an opera performed by a major opera company.
The quartet will also perform a traditional spiritual,"Calvary"; followed by "String Quartet No. 1," which is based on the spiritual "Calvary" by African-American composer Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson, and complete the concert with "String Quartet in A-minor Opus 13" by Felix Mendelssohn.
"This is a really neat program," said musicologist and pre-concert forum hostess Aileen James.
"I have performed the music of William Grant Still and really look forward to hearing the Marian Anderson String Quartet."
The concert is sponsored by the Porter family in memory of Virginia Porter and B&C True Value Home and Garden Center.
Tickets are $26 for general admission, and youth ages 5-17 are free with adult. Tickets can be purchased at BriarPatch Co-op, the Nevada City Box Office at Miners Foundry or online at http://www.inconcertsierra.org, or call 530-273-3990 for information.
The Seventh-day Adventist Church is located at 12889 Osborne Hill Road, Grass Valley.

No time to panic, but we can be worry warts with the U.S. team
By Michael Lewis
BigAppleSocer.com Editor
Jurgen Klinsmann's decisions on the starting lineup for the 2-1 loss to Jamaica have to be questioned.
Linda Cuttone/Sports Vue Images
It's certainly no time to panic, at least not yet. But it is certainly time to be concerned and even to worry.
It wasn't that the United States lost to Jamaica, 2-0, in its CONCACAF Group A World Cup qualifier on Friday night, it was the way it was accomplished.
The Americans looked slow and lacked a midfield leader who could slow down or speed up the game as coach Jurgen Klinsmann did not use the correct alignment or players.
Except for those problems, there were no problems.
Here are some thoughts about the U.S.'s performance:
It's the midfield and it always will be
Remember that political slogan from years ago, "It's the economy, stupid?"
Well, I will borrow the spirit of that message for the beautiful game:
"It's the midfield, stupid."
Many, if not most, games are decided in the midfield, which team can impose itself, send more accurate passes into and through enemy territory, set up teammates, intercept passes and turn them into counterattacks, and defend well. A midfield can make up for a shaky forward line or cloak problems on the backline (by not allowing the opposition to get into dangerous positions).
The midfield is the engine room of the team.
Saying all that, the U.S. engine sputtered through the game on Friday night. Some of that was because of Klinsmann's tactics, even though he said the Americans lost because of free kicks not because of strategy. Well, they did, But the midfield put them in that situation. For example, midfielder Kyle Beckerman lost the ball and wound up fouling a Jamaican to set up the first free-kick goal.
After fouling Jamaicans outside the U.S. penalty area a few times, the American players had to realize they were putting the ball on a platter to the Jamaicans, who connected for the game-winner in the 62nd minute.
But Klinsmann's tactics have to be questioned, starting with appropriately, the Starting XI.
Three defensive mids and two forwards?
Strange, strange format, especially using two defensive midfielders -- Maurice Edu and Kyle Beckerman -- in the middle and a third on the flank in the presence of Jermaine Jones, who is better known for his physical ability than running at pace, especially with the speedy Reggae Boyz. It did not work.
I would have used four or even five midfielders on the road with one forward -- Jozy Altidore, who did virtually nothing, or Herculez Gomez.
It was not veterans' day
No doubt whatsoever that the U.S. missed midfielders Landon Donovan and Michael Bradley. While Donovan provides plenty of attacking power from his passing, shooting and all-around abilities, the Americans probably missed Bradley more. As a holding midfielder, Bradley can dictate more of the pace of the game, when to slow down or speed up. He is the best ball-winner on the U.S. and the transitional player who has linked the front and lack lines consistently.
While Clarence Goodson and Geoff Cameron did OK in central defense -- again, I am single guessing -- I would have gone with veteran leadership in the back in Carlos Bocanegra. He's been there and done it before, and someone with his background and international resume might have to settle things down.
What's ahead
The Americans are heading back to familiar ground in Columbus, Ohio, where they are undefeated in qualifiers, including three 2-0 results over archrival Mexico. There are no two ways about it. The U.S. is in a must-win situation. A tie -- one third of a loaf at home -- barely will be sufficient to keep the Americans' hopes going. At the moment, they are chasing the game and the table. They need to run the table in their final three games to make sure goal-differential does not determine their fate.
So, let's play the what-if game scenario game.
* Scenario 1: Let's say the U.S. defeats Jamaica on Tuesday and Guatemala overcomes Antigua & Barbuda on the road. There would be a three-way tie for first place between Jamaica, the U.S. and Guatemala with 2-1-1 records and seven points ahead, with Antigua (0-3-1, one) bringing up the rear.
* Scenario 2: OK, let's say the Americans and Jamaica tie and Guatemala wins. The standings would look like this entering the final two games: Jamaica (2-1-2, eight), Guatemala (2-1-1, seven), U.S. (1-1-2, five) and Antigua (0-3-1, one). This is definitely workable. The U.S. will be forced to win its final two matches -- at Antigua on Oct. 12 and vs. the Guatemalans in Kansas City four days later -- to qualify.
* Scenario 3: And let's go to the extreme and the unthinkable happens and the U.S. loses in Columbus. The standings would look like this: Jamaica (3-1-1, 10), Guatemala (2-1-1, seven), U.S. (1-2-1, four) and Antigua (0-3-1, one). Again, the Americans would have to run the table. Defending on the results of the final three games, goal differential could play a role in deciding who moves on to the hexagonal and who stays at home. I am not going to go through all such scenarios because the possibilities are endless.
* Scenario 4: It's also known as the worst scenario. If the U.S. somehow gets eliminated in the semifinal round, heads will roll, starting with the head coach. Such a development would be devastating for the Americans for so many reasons. Now, I am not advocating or hoping for anything, just pointing out all the possibilities, from the best to the worst. Quite frankly, I can't believe I have to address this option.
Let's face it, the U.S. has not played inspired or even good soccer in qualifying. They were mediocre in their 3-1 home win over Antigua & Barbuda. They struggled to get a point in Guatemala and now the Kingston fiasco.
Regardless what transpires, the final three semifinal matches will be nail-biting games.
Fasten your seat belts, folks, the ride could get more than a little bumpy from here.

WATCH: Foo Fighters Turns ALS Ice Bucket Video Into 'Carrie' Tribute
Listen to Foo Fighters Radio on iHeartRadio
Dave Grohl took his ALS Ice Bucket Challenge to new heights by getting his fellow Foo Fighters to help add some theatrics. They turned the simple act of getting doused with a bucket of ice water into a tribute to the classic horror film Carrie, which famously involves dumping a bucket of pig blood on the title character at her high school prom.
Grohl played the role of Carrie in full Prom Queen regalia, while Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins played the Prom King. Grohl also issued his own challenges, including one to Stephen King, who wrote the original book Carrie, and John Travolta, who was one of the stars in the 1976 film.
The viral ice bucket campaign is meant to raise awareness and money for the fight against ALS, or Lou Gehrig's Disease. He invited everyone to donate to the ALS Association at ALSA.org.

Aviles' grand slam carries Indians past Tigers
DETROIT -- Mike Aviles hit a grand slam in the ninth inning that lifted the Cleveland Indians to a 4-0 win over the Detroit Tigerson Sunday.
The AL Central leaders had won seven straight against second-place Cleveland. The Tigers won the season series 15-4, a string of success that has helped them build a 7 1/2-game cushion in the division with a month left in the regular season.
Detroit rested banged-up star Miguel Cabrerafor a second straight game.
Joe Smith (6-2) got the win after giving up one hit and a walk in the eighth, keeping the Tigers scoreless after Danny Salazar's strong start.
Detroit tried to rally in the ninth, but a tough break on the bases proved costly.
Chris Perez gave up a one-out double to Omar Infante, who was hit by Alex Avila's liner for the second out. The right-hander let No. 9 hitter Ramon Santiago extend the inning with a single, and a passed ball put the runners in scoring position before Andy Dirksgrounded out to end the game.
Joaquin Benoit (4-1) walked Carlos Santana and Michael Brantleyto start the top of the ninth.
Asdrubal Cabrera followed with a sacrifice bunt, putting pinch-runner Jose Ramirez, in his major league debut, at third base and Brantley at second. The Tigers intentionally walked Jason Kubelto load the bases for Aviles, the No. 8 hitter. Aviles hit some flies in foul territory that were almost caught before sending a thigh-high pitch over the left-field fence for his ninth homer.
Detroit's Justin Verlanderextended his winless streak to five outings, but held a team scoreless for the first time since a seven-inning start on July 14 against Texas.
Verlander gave up four hits and two walks -- both in his shaky first inning -- and struck out six, the last of which was Kubel on a 99 mph fastball with a runner on third for the second out of the seventh.
The Indians' starter, Salazar, also didn't give up a run. He allowed six hits without a walk and struck out five over six innings.
Left-hander Nick Hagadone, recalled from the minors earlier in the day, was given a chance to pitch for Cleveland for the first time since July 2 and didn't last long because he gave up one hit and one walk while getting only one out. The Indians took Hagadone out and put in Cody Allen, and he later stranded a runner on third by striking out Dirks.
The Tigers kept Cabrera out of the lineup for a second straight day, hoping rest will help him recover from a strained abdomen. They were also without center fielder Austin Jackson, a day after he hurt his right shoulder when he hit the wall trying to make a catch in Saturday night's win.

Lose your head at the Barrick and become one of "The New Irascibles" in the iconic group portrait and 1985 drawing by Mark Kostabi - on display now.
The History Behind the Work: The original Irascibles were an art-protest group of Abstract Expressionist artists who wrote an open letter to the president of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, against the museum's exhibition, American Painting Today 1950. They believed the curators were "hostile to advanced art," particularly Abstract Expressionism. Life magazine photographed part of the group and named its picture, The Irascibles.

Both Eastside cross country teams qualify for state
Published: Saturday, November 10, 2012 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, November 11, 2012 at 12:55 a.m.
Both of Eastside's cross country teams secured their second straight trips to the FHSAA Class 2A state meet.
At Saturday's Class 2A, Region 1 meet at Sunny Hill Farms in Tallahassee, the Rams girls team placed fourth out of 13 teams and the boys squad snagged the last qualifying berth for state by placing sixth out of 14 teams.
For the girls, Christine Pu placed 23rd (20:56.87) out of 94 runners to lead Eastside, with Lucinda Peng finishing 25th (21:01.08). Vanessa McAdams (21:13.75) and Ria Someswhar (21:15.20) placed 28th and 29 respectively with Mia Varner (33rd, 21:33.64) rounding out the top five for the Rams (128 points).
Bradford sophomore Sarah Frederick finished 13th (20:19.79) to claim an individual spot to next week's state meet at Apalachee Regional Park in Tallahassee. The top six teams and the top-15 individuals at every regional race move on to state.
Jacksonville Bolles' Mackenzie Wilson won the girls race (18:47.84) and led the Bulldogs to the team title (29 points). Santa Fe and Suwannee placed 12th and 13th respectively, failing to qualify.
On the boys side Carsten Thue-Bludworth finished (16:45.68) fourth out of 97 runners to pace the Rams (173 points), who edged Crawfordville Wakulla (175) for the last state qualifying berth. Ravi Kumar was 22nd (17:35.63) for Eastside, which prior to last season hadn't reached state since 1986.

Tip from Imam foiled Canada terror plot
(NEWSER) – Yesterday, Canadian authorities said theyfoiled an alleged terrorist plot—the "first known al-Qaeda plan of attack that we've experienced," one detective says—and they have a Toronto imam to thank for the bust. More than a year ago, the still-anonymous imam told authorities he was concerned about the behavior of Raed Jaser, 35, one of the two individuals arrested yesterday, the imam's lawyer tells the Globe and Mail. The imam was unnerved by what his lawyer calls Jaser's "attempts to approach young Muslims," and so he "took the initiative to notify the authorities."

The first steps towards the formation of the IMU were taken in 1919 in Brussels
at the Constitutive Assembly of the International
Research Council (IRC)*.
In accordance with the program approved in
Brussels, the IMU was founded during the International Congress
of Mathematicians in Strasbourg on September 20, 1920. Under difficult political
and partly still unclear circumstances, described
in Lehto's book, IMU faded away in the years 1931-1936.
As Lehto wrote "For all practical purposes, the IMU ceased to exist in
September 1932". In 1933-1936 a commission that studied the foundation of a new IMU failed.
The rebirth of IMU after World War II took some time.
In December 1949, a Policy Committee made the decision that a Union
Conference would be held in New York.
This took place during August 27-29, 1950 and resulted in a draft of Statutes and
By-Laws and an Enabling Resolution.
In December 1950, the Statutes and By-Laws of the Union had received their final touch.
The Enabling Resolution stated that the IMU would be established as soon as ten
countries had joined. This happened on September 10, 1951. The
IMU was again in official existence with the Danish Academy of Science as its
first headquarters. The first ten members of the new
IMU, in alphabetic order, were Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece,
Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, and Norway.
Five more countries joined in 1951: Australia, Canada, Finland, Peru, and the
United States.
The first General Assembly took place in
Rome in March 1952. The years 1950-1952 are milestones in the history of IMU.
The Constitutive Convention in 1950 in New York
created IMU de facto.
By the Statutes adopted there, IMU came into being in 1951 de jure,
and in 1952 the General Assembly inaugurated the activities of the new Union,
elected its first President and Executive Committee and was readmitted to ICSU.
To preserve its history, the International Mathematical Union maintains
an archive containing important correspondence and documents.
The archive keeps, in particular, the correspondence of all IMU Prize
selection committees. The IMU Executive Committee decided that all
material related to IMU Prizes must be kept confidential for 50 years, though.
The IMU archive has been at ETH Zürich for a long period of time
until it moved to the University of Helsinki in 1994, where it has been since.
The IMU EC has appointed Prof. Guillermo Curbera (Universidad de Sevilla,
Spain, firstname.lastname@example.com) as "Curator of the IMU archive" for the
period 2007-2010. His task is to collect the relevant material, select
the documents that should be maintained and keep the archive up to date.
Professor Olli Lehto, former Secretary of IMU from 1983 to 1990, has written
the book "Mathematics without borders", a history of the International Mathematical
Union, published by Springer in 1998. This book is warmly
recommended to those interested in the history of IMU.
In IMU Bulletin 39, 1995,
Olli Lehto gives a short overview about
IMU - past and present.

CARDIFF, Wales -- Past studies have found that the repetitive motion of chewing gum delivers more blood to the brain and this somehow can enhance test performance among students. But a new study by researchers at Cardiff University in Wales suggests that gum chewing can weaken short-term memory, at least temporarily.
Cardiff study participants who were given classic memory tests, such as recalling lists of words or numbers in a specific order, did worse when chewing gum. Results were published in The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology.
The difference between the studies -- the Cardiff study used unflavored gum and the previous study used minty gum, which has led some researchers to suggest that flavors could make it easier to remembe

The burned and shredded remains of what was the east side of the A.J. Walker building on Prince Street still draws attention from passing motorists and walkers as they go about their daily business on Monday morning.
The 120 year-old downtown landmark, formerly a hardware store, was partially destroyed by a fire that began early Thursday afternoon. From the afternoon until late Thursday evening, the downtown area was filled with thick, heavy smoke.
As of early Monday morning, Truro Fire Service said the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
TRURO – The fire that destroyed the east end of the A. J. Walker building on Prince Street last week started by accident, according to an investigation conducted by the Truro Fire Service.
"Based on the damage in the building, based on interviews with the building owner and business owners, as well as photos that we had taken and citizens had given us early in our arrival, we have deemed the fire accidental," said Ryan Thibeau, the Truro Fire Service inspector.
The investigation into Thursday's fire was completed Saturday night and, according to Thibeau, having an excavator come in Thursday night, just hours after the fire started around 1:30 p.m., destroyed some of the fire patterns and evidence inside the building.
"Because of the areas we were able to reconstruct, it's determined there was a failure within the solid fuel heating system, but we can't pinpoint exactly where or with what," he said.
Firefighters from the Truro department responded Thursday afternoon to the blaze. When they arrived, smoke was filling a discount store attached to the east end of the original Walker's brick building. Flames were also shooting out the back of the discount store.
Other businesses inside the main building were evacuated and passersby stopping to watch were moved out of the block. Crews from Nova Scotia Power arrived later to turn off power to the area.
Mutual aid came from Salmon River, Bible Hill, Hilden and Cobequid District, with a number of other departments on standby.
Firefighters were able to contain the majority of the fire to the east end portion of the building, however the rest of the building sustained smoke and water damage. By late afternoon, orange flames had burned through an exterior wall from floor to ceiling on the first floor.
The A. J. Walker's building has been a downtown core landmark for more than 120 years, and in the Legge family since 1939. Until March of last year, the building was home to a hardware store, operated by Warren Legge.
Its history began in 1890 when A.J. Walker opened a hardware store on the site. During the 1920s, the company suffered some loss due to fire, but the building was saved. Another fire ran through the building in 1948, however the structure was not destroyed.

GSA Holds Ceremony for its Fourth Annual Achievement Awards for Real Property InnovationAwards recognize real estate "best practices" developed by Federal agencies
October 11, 2000
Contact: Malcolm Saldanha (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC -- The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) held its fourth annual Achievement Award ceremony for Real Property Innovation on October 4, 2000, at the American Institute of Architects Building in Washington, DC.
The ceremony was led by Thurman M. Davis, Sr., Deputy Administrator of GSA, G. Martin ("Marty") Wagner, Associate Administrator for the Office of Governmentwide Policy (OGP), and David Bibb, Deputy Associate Administrator for OGP's Office of Real Property.
The Real Property Innovation Awards were developed by the Office of Real Property to recognize the successes of the Federal real property community, to improve communications between real property professionals, and share the best policies and practices implemented by Federal agencies.
This year, 11 Federal agencies participated in the submission of 35 entries. This year's entries covered various categories which encompassed best practices in real estate policy, real property management, acquisition, construction, sustainable development, disposal, budget, performance, public-private partnerships, and many more.
The two winning entries, both in the best policy category, were selected by a panel of distinguished public and private sector experts from Canada and the U.S. A team from GSA's Public Buildings Service (PBS) won for their entry "Building Green for the Future." The "Build Green" Team launched a comprehensive sustainable design strategy to incorporate sustainable principles (i.e., principles which are friendly to the environment) in all of PBS's business practices. The team members included: David B. Eakin, Donald R. Horn, Lee Salviski, and Debra W. Yap
A team from the Department of the Army won for their initiative to "Privatize Army Utilities Systems." The team developed a policy to privatize an existing inventory of 320 separate utility systems on over 100 bases throughout the United States. To date, 44 utility systems have been privatized with a goal to complete privatization actions by 2003. Team members consisted of: John Krajewski, Satish Sharma, William Eng, Richard Dubicki, Carey Klug, Regina Larrabee and Qaiser Toor.
As David Bibb of OGP's Office of Real Property stated at the ceremony, "It is our belief that by sharing these outstanding entries we will plant the seeds for future growth and enhancement of real property asset management and workplace excellence throughout the Government."
All of the 2000 entries will be published in a "Special Edition" of the Office of Real Property's POLICYSITE newsletter in Fall 2000. This will also be available on the following website: http://policyworks.gov/realproperty.

arabic in mongolian
Test passes if the order and rotation of Arabic characters is the same, and the letters are joined in the same way.
Assertion: [Exploratory test] Setting writing-mode to vertical-lr will cause Arabic text embedded in vertical Mongolian to flow up the page, with letters rotated to the right, and wrap to the right, such that the Arabic lines are read left to right, and the letters join correctly.
This is an exploratory test because the CSS3 Text module that defines writing-mode is not yet a Recommendation.

'"I don't think it's happened too much in my career before," said Campbell, who played his junior hockey for Ottawa of the OHL. "But I go back to the main point and that is that there are good, clean hits delivered in hockey and the fans love it. And if somebody has to hit me, as long as it's a good clean hit, that's all that matters. It's a part of hockey that will always be there."'

good luck Rab.
hope you guys get a replacement for Andy.
good luck Rab.
hope you guys get a replacement for Andy.
Think Martin will be way to big and strong for Rab cant see anything but Thompson smashing Rab via either Gnp or KO
lol dont think he will. infact al prob weigh same if not more
Proud to be sponsored by Sport-Sense check them out at Sport-sense.co.uk
Hasn't Thompson fought at lightheavyweight before? Can't see him being much bigger than Rab.
After seeing them both together before Rab fought Kevin I'd have thought Martin was quite a lot bigger. Obviously Rab will have our weight on but I'm not sure that he could put enough good weight on to match Martin for size and strength. Martin is a really strong powerful lad and its a long time since he fought at light heavy
Sergej Grechicho was due to fight an opponent for the vacant Featherweight title at On Top but he will be unable to as he has signed with a big promotion, FW title fight will be announced imminently!
www.ontoppromotions.co.uk - MMA Promotion/Fighter Management
Very cool that Sergej has signed with Bellator, massive talent, great fighter finally getting a big break.
Cool in other ways too.
Graham Turner (DNFT) v Gianluca Scottoli (Shotteam Moden, Italy)
Turner, fresh from winning another title will aim to win the On Top belt against the 5-0 unbeaten Italian, Scottoli.
This will be a step up in competition for Scottoli who has not yet gone the distance as a Pro. Turner will be looking to keep winning to solidify his ranking in the UK and Europe as one of the elite 145lb'ers.
Just an update with tickets:
No £30 Tiered tickets available through the shop or online - If you want these, only the fighters will have these for sale so buy them soon before they all go
Only a few £40 Cageside tickets left, these are still available online and through the Bodyfuel shop in Clydebank
I understand that some people like to wait to confirm plans etc but take my word this will sell out so to avoid any disappointment, buy sooner if you can.
More fight announcements soon...

Hi all, I'm currently evaluating an environment that mainly uses H.323. The SIP pieces of the environment I've been having my way with, but H.323 is a little more lacking in the tool dept. Know any good h323 focused tools?
I read about vnak can do some h323 (h225) stuff and a tool called H225regreject but not much in terms of: valid extension enumeration, brute forcing passwords of valid extensions, or signal tampering (black holing, redirecting calls, etc). I'm dorking around with Protos for fuzzing but so far fuzzing has only proven good to light up lights on the phone and cause some fun DOS conditions.
I can demonstrate call recording, pen tracing, all sorts of fun RTP attacks, DOS, but the meat of what I'm looking to get at now is attacks around the signaling pieces and extension registration, redirection, etc. Any help you can offer is greately appreciated in advance.
Also, any experience stories, good tools (so far SipVicious is your friend, cain and able/ettercap rock, but the vet so far in the ooohs and ahhhs of management department is Wireshark with its ability to replay unencrypted RTP stream and rtp attacks with audio injection).

Limbaugh baselessly claimed people targeted by proposed food stamp cuts "aren't using them anyway"
On the October 19 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh baselessly suggested that more than $500 million in proposed cuts to the food stamps program would be harmless because the money was not being used anyway. After reading from an October 19 New York Times article [1] about the Senate agriculture committee's decision to shelve the proposal "that could have cut off food stamps to an estimated 300,000 people," Limbaugh added this phrase: "who aren't using them anyway." But as news accounts have made clear, the 300,000 people who stood to lose their benefits are current food stamp recipients.
A transcript [2] (subscription required) of the segment posted on Limbaugh's website makes clear that the "who aren't using them anyway" comment is not part of the Times story. On his show, however, Limbaugh did not alert listeners to the fact that the comment was his own.
In any case, Limbaugh's claim was baseless. An October 13 article [3] in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette explained that the proposed food stamp cuts would have changed eligibility rules "so that those who qualify for state welfare assistance will no longer automatically qualify for food stamps" and instead would have to meet the federal means test applied to other food stamp recipients. According to Senate agriculture committee spokesman Keith Williams, that change would have pushed as many as 300,000 people off of food stamps.
An October 6 Associated Press article [4] offered a similar assessment of the proposed cuts:
The $574 million cut in food stamps would come from restricting access to this benefit for certain families that, because they receive other government assistance, receive food stamps without going through the application process. The restriction would shut an estimated 300,000 people out of the program. [Sen. Saxby] Chambliss' [R-GA] spokesman said the change would apply to families that do not meet eligibility requirements and that eligible families still will receive food stamps.
And an October 18 Associated Press article [5] reported that Chambliss, chairman of the Senate agriculture committee, "dropped more than $500 million in food stamp cuts from a farm and food subsidy measure. The cuts could have meant a loss of benefits for 300,000 working families."
Limbaugh appears to have misleadingly conflated the proposed food stamp cuts with an unrelated Food Research and Action Center (FRAC) study. The study, which looked at 25 urban areas, found [6] that 2.9 million people who would likely qualify for food stamps did not enroll in the program because of language barriers, a lack of public awareness, ineffective distribution policies, and other factors [7]. FRAC estimated that as a result, $2.1 billion [8] in potential federally funded food stamp benefits went unclaimed in 2003. Limbaugh previously cited an Associated Press article [9] about FRAC's study -- as well as the October 6 Associated Press article on the proposed food stamp cuts -- on his October 6 show.
From the October 19 broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: Let me share with you a story that infuriates me. It's in The New York Times, so until I can confirm this is true, we'll have to just go on the assumption that it's true because it's in The New York Times. Here's the headline: "Senate Panel Drops Plan to Cut Back Food Program." We talked about this last week. They wanted to cut some $500 billion, or $500 million from the food stamp program, from other programs, because the money wasn't being used anyway. They're advertising for the food stamp program. It wasn't a cut anyway. It's just a cut in how much more money was going to be spent. Well, here's the story -- and again, they say this is from The New York Times. "Fearing a backlash over spending reductions that could be portrayed as singling out the poor, a Senate panel on Tuesday dropped plans to cut the food stamp program by more than $500 million, as Congress embarked on a contentious round of budget cuts. Keith Williams, a spokesman for the agriculture committee, said the action came at the request of several committee members who had reservations about an effort that could have cut off food stamps to an estimated 300,000 people," who aren't using them, anyway. So we can't even cut $500 million; do you know that is not even a measurable percentage of the $2.6 trillion we're spending? We can't even cut $500 million that's not even being used? Our story last week pointed out how $2 billion wasn't being used, and they were trying to sign more people up for the food stamp program. We weren't even trying to eliminate the total amount of money not being used, just 25 percent of it -- and, lo and behold, here comes some critics: "You are being cold-hearted to the poor."

As easy, flavorful vegan Moroccan Chickpea Stew brightened with Harissa spices is what I have for you today.
Moroccan food is among my favorites when we eat out. For one, it is never hard to find vegan dishes in Moroccan restaurants because the cuisine of that region is rich in vegetables and grains and legumes and spices. Then there are the candles, the belly dancing, and all those other fun trimmings. What's not to love?
But if you are willing to forego the extras, it can be quite easy to whip up a divine Moroccan dinner right in your own kitchen. Better, you can make it really healthy.
This Moroccan Chickpea Stew is just such a fragrant concoction, and I'll bet you will want to eat every last drop of it right at one sitting.
I love chickpeas– they're quite possibly my most adored legume– and I sometimes really, really crave them. As I was this weekend, when I decided to make this stew. I use a number of veggies in this stew, so it makes for a complete meal with some couscous, bulgur, rice or even some polenta, which is what I served it with.
The chilli paste I stir into the stew at the tail end is called Harissa, and it is a traditional North African paste that is just bursting with flavor. Don't skip it, because it really makes a huge difference.
Enjoy the vegan Moroccan Chickpea Stew! It's a keeper.

- 1 cup dried chickpeas , soaked for a few hours or overnight, then cooked until tender in a pressure cooker or on the stovetop.
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion , finely diced
- 5 garlic cloves , minced
- 1 tbsp grated ginger
- 2 red bliss or yellow potatoes , diced
- 2 carrots , finely diced
- 20 cherry tomatoes , halved, or about 5 plum tomatoes, quartered
- 1 zucchini , finely diced
- 1 green pepper , finely diced
- 1 tbsp coriander + 1 tsp cumin seeds , ground into a powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 2 tbsp thyme , remove leaves from stems and run a knife through them.
- For the Harissa paste
- 15 red chilies , soaked for about 2 hours and then drained
- 8 cloves garlic , minced
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Salt to taste
- 1 tsp cumin seeds + 1 tsp coriander seeds , lightly toasted, then powdered in a spice grinder.
Make the Harissa paste by putting all of the Harissa ingredients in a food processor and process until fairly smooth. You can freeze the remaining paste in an air-tight jar.
In a large saucepan, heat the oil and add the onions.
Fry until the edges are browned. Add the ginger and garlic and saute another minute.
Add the chickpeas and about 2 cups of liquid. Add tomatoes, coriander-cumin powder, potatoes, turmeric and salt to taste.
Cover and cook about 20 minutes.
Add the thyme, carrots, zucchini and green peppers. Cook another 10 minutes until all the vegetables are tender.
Check salt. Stir in 2 tbsp of the Harissa paste (recipe follows).
Serve hot.

I don't get it. How did these customers use data previously? Were they just using data without being charged for it? Or did they have a previous data block on the devices that was dropped by T-Mobile and replaced with the pay per use package?
Edit: Ok, I think I get it. They didn't have a data plan at all, which meant they didn't receive data. Once T-Mobile added the pay per use, data transmittion was enabled and the phones then started doing so. Right?
Pay-per-use? That's just nuts. How you could have a smartphone with no data plan? Why would you even buy a smartphone if you weren't planning on using it the way it was intended? At least AT&T makes it mandatory for its smartphones. T-Mobile is garbage...
I'm not sure it would be a dumb thing to have iPhones without data plans. I would have given my kids my old iPhones if they could use them on WiFi only. There young and don't need to be on the internet away from home and I don't need to pay for a stupid data plan for kids. And why not have a phone with a camera and music player that uses the apple OS. It's just greed on the part of AT$T that makes them have to have a data plan.Anyway who ever gets hit with this charge should call back as many times as possible and ask for a supervisor and someone will help them. You just have to get past the idiots they have in place to wear you down so you'll give in.
I put the APN settings in for the purpose of MMS messaging - which does not count against data usage, but against your text messaging usage. Glad I read this article, checked my account, and have only used 21.6 mb of data fortunatetely. Regardless, T-Mobile will be getting a not so happy call from me today!
Really you need to check stock prices when you are out and about??? I check at starbucks or McDonalds but guess what they have wi-fi!
Prices on shelves what with a barcode scanner or even the internets? So you ARE price conscious! But most places have free wi-fi for that also!
You say it is just your opinion BUT yet you bash people for not wanting it or push them to get a cheap phone plan with pay as you go. THAT is not expressing an opinion THAT is sticking your nose up at people, THAT is narrow-minded thinking that the way YOU think is the the ONLY way or the right way! Read Orwells 1984 it will be like looking in a mirror...

Gregg Allman Sues to Stop Production of Movie Based on His Life
Gregg Allman wants the producers of a movie that is based on his life to stop making the film. Allman's attorneys filed a lawsuit last week in Savannah, Georgia.
Midnight Rider is based on Allman's 2012 memoir, My Cross to Bear. Initially, Allman was on board with the film.
Then, a crash killed a crew member and injured six others. That was on February 20. Production was suspended, but is expected to resume in June.
Allman wrote a letter asking for the movie to be shut down and the actor who was set to portray the southern rock legend, William Hurt, pulled out of the movie.
Now, Allman is taking legal action.
According to the Associated Press, Allman wants the producers "to cease all efforts to make a motion picture based upon the life of Gregg Allman and/ or his autobiography."
On February 20, a freight train struck crew members who were filming on railroad bridge. Investigators say that the movie did not have permission to be filming on the tracks.

Hey all,
I know that not many other people can get Orinoco cards working, I've got mine in a PCIMA flavor so I can boot without it. Anyhow, I tried booting with it in and it stops booting at the detection of my touchpad. This seemed like a strange and illogical place for it to stop, but I rebooted and it was the same spot each time.
I tried the drivers at nongnu.org/orinoco, but these seem to already be integrated.
Any ideas?
Just look at the bottom of the card.
I'm running BT3b but it works great in BT2 also.
I am running this card too.
No problem at all under B|T2 & 3
Fully supported "OutOfTheBox".
@bkbomber: Did your already disabled your Touchpad in BIOS for a test? Give it a try when u think it depends from.
You lack providing more information:
1) Is this 5V or 3.3V (it should be noted on the bottom side of the card)
2) Does this show up on lspci?
3) Have you tried using boot cheat codes (which are available from the backtrack wiki)
It is a Buffalo AirStation WLI-PCM-L11G, and from my research I know that it IS based on some sort of Orinoco card chipset.
And its a 5 volt.
I can't use lspci in BT3 because it won't boot up with the card in, and instantly hangs if I try to add it after booting. I'll try it in BT2.
I'll give boot cheats a try...
Heres some pics for ya'll.
Couldn't figure out how to boot into safe mode using EasyBCD, debug mode did NOTHING lol. It still glitches up when it tries to load my touchpad.
Well, this is getting me nowhere. I KNOW this is technically a general Linux question and that I should learn a simple distro before messing with BT. I'm sorry. I don't like to ride the short bus.
Anyway, I was wondering where in BT2 I can find the Orinoco drivers, or if there is a previous driver I could download. Also if someone could (pretty, pretty please) tell me how to install these in BT3Beta. Is it possible that these drivers could interfere with the current madwifi drivers?
P.S. I'm duplicate posting this in BT2 forums.
Here are some Orinoco drivers from an overseas educational site.Seem like they also have the old Orinoco card manager files too.
Hope these help

Post subject: Who are you? - Introduce Yourself
My name is Jason and I am an alcoholic...
But seriously folks, my name is Jason. Im 22 years old. I was in the Israeli army for 3 years, and recently moved there. I was born in Israel, and raised in America, but lived in Israel for 2nd-5th grade, 11th-12th grade and the three army years.
I am married with no kids, and I'm still a rookie at the whole marriage thing.
I like sports, music (rap and rock mostly but all kinds excluding country and disco), girls, writing, film, and enjoy the occasional hike or camping trip (not an outdoorsman, but I enjpy it occasionally...camping by a beach is a must for those who never have).
I played baseball for the Israeli National youth team when i was in and 11th grade but quit out of boredom. We did go to Europe to play once in a while, but I couldn't give the time and eneergy needed to play there. I lived in Pennsylvannia when I was in 8-10th grade and was second string QB for a team there but I played at LB/S in 10th grade-strange combination, but I was and am still a big guy...I also was MVP of Israels flag (there was no organized tackle league) football league
...doesnt mean much but it had a few good players...
Anyway, tell us about yourselves guys...

I'm in the dreaded 35-49 demographic...
Computer Jockey...
Quick Bio:
- Married, 2 kids, 1 dog, 1 house
- Grew up in Boston (have been a Red Sox fan since I could grasp the concept of sports) and lived in MA until 1998, moved to Baltimore for 18 months, and came back to New England. Now live in southern NH.
- Got into football very late (Mom hated it and forbade us from playing and Dad didn't care about sports that didn't involve engines, wheels, and Germans), but became a Dolphins fan in '84 when I watched Marino lite up the rest of the league.
- Have been writing about football as a hobby since about 1997. At first, it was only via emails to a couple of friends, but grew almost into a second career.
Something that most people don't know about me:
Back in January of 1996, I applied to the Tampa Bay Buccanners as an assistant coach. I think I specifically asked for the job of offensive coordinator, but I don't recall the details anymore. Regardless, I got back two hand-signed letters from them. One from GM Rich McKay saying that he had forwarded my resume to new head coach Tony Dungy who would be making the final decisions on the make up of the coaching staff, and a second letter from Tony Dungy himself thanking me for my interest and informing me that he had filled the position. The fact that Tony Dungy took the time to write, send, and sign a rejection letter to a nitwit who had no business applying for the job, let alone being given it, makes him the coolest guy in the NFL today.

Name: Matt
Age: 24
Occupation: Medical Equipment Sales
Hobbies: Naturally football is the number one hobby (watching, playing and betting on.) In the summer months I enjoy playing golf , the beach and BBQs.
I played Right Tackle in High School and a little DT as well. My sophomore and Senior years we made it to the state semi-finals but were defeated both times. I wasnt big enough to play at a major University (6ft 225lbs) and the school that I went to did not offer scholarships so I elected not to play (no regrets).
Born and raised in NY I was originally a NY Giants fan growing up, until 1991 the year after they won the Super Bowl. Parcells stepped down and Ray Handly took over and single handedly destroyed the franchise. Having been a fan of the great Dan Marino my football interests migrated south and I have been a Dolphan ever since. I consider myself a die hard fan and I am very excited to see what the Nick Saban era will bring us (hopefully some rings!)

Toby Keith's daughter Krystal releasing debut EP next month
Toby Keith's daughter will soon officially launch her music career.
Krystal Keith will be releasing a self-titled EP in advance of her debut album. The project was developed in response to the reaction to her debut single, "Daddy Dance With Me."
Krystal says she wrote and recorded the song without papa Toby's knowledge. The singer explains that she wanted a song that honored her father which would also be "something special" for her wedding day. She says her goal was "to have a song that no bride and father had ever danced to before," calling it her "gift to him."
Krystal's EP will arrive on April 16th. Her full-length debut album, "Whiskey & Lace" will will follow a few months later.

Call for proposals now open for 16th annual US/ICOMOS International Symposium
The U.S. National Committee of the International Council on Monuments and Sites (US/ICOMOS) is pleased to announce a call for proposals for the 16th Annual U.S. ICOMOS International Symposium, to be held May 2-4, 2013, in historic downtown Savannah, Ga. The event will be co-hosted by the Savannah College of Art and Design, an internationally recognized leader in adaptive rehabilitation and urban revitalization with locations in the United States, France, Hong Kong and online via SCAD eLearning.
The theme of the symposium is "The Historic Center and the Next City: Envisioning Urban Heritage Evolution."
"Late last year, the 35th UNESCO General Conference adopted the 'Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape' encouraging the espousal of a landscape approach to the study and conservation of cities within their broader urban contexts and their geographical settings," said US/ICOMOS Director Donald Jones. "The goal of the symposium is to join in a robust discussion focused on the evolution of our historic urban centers and ascertain how they provide inspiration for the future of cities around the world."
All poster and paper proposals should examine the challenges in striking a balance between the potential of historic cities for future wealth creation and innovation, with the fragile nature of a city's heritage, integrity and sense of place. Abstracts should consist of no more than 250 words and include the proposed title and author names, institutional affiliations, bios and contact information.
The conference committee requests that proposals reporting case studies go a step further to include assessments that give visions for the next city. Questions about this call for abstracts may be sent to SCAD Professor Connie Pinkerton. All proposals must be received by US/ICOMOS by Nov. 15, 2012. Sessions will be organized around three to five themes that emerge upon collective examination and a review of the most successful proposals.
Sessions will be organized as panels, with each presenter allotted time to communicate his or her argument, followed by an opportunity for all participants to discuss the issues under the guidance of a session moderator.
External reviewers will assess all proposals, and final selections will be made by the conference committee. Selected authors will be notified by Jan. 5, 2013. Draft presentations will be due to the conference committee on March 15, 2013, with all final presentations due May 15, 2013.
Additional information and event details are available online at usicomos.org or by emailing email@example.com.
"SCAD is pleased to host preservationists, urban planners, architects and other stewards of our cultural heritage for this important and timely discussion," noted Jeffrey Eley, chair of the SCAD historic preservation department. "Savannah's layered histories, exquisite architecture and influential city plan provide a perfect setting to address this symposium's questions, while SCAD is an ideal host as a university woven into the fabric of one of the largest and most renowned National Historic Landmark districts in the United States. Our students, professors and alumni look forward to further advancing the research and appreciation for our nation's historic urban centers."
Since its founding in 1978, SCAD has revitalized more than 100 buildings around the world, creating inspiring communities for the study of art and design.

Vernon Vipers 4 - Summerside Western Capitals 2
VICTORIA, B.C. – As far as quick starts go, the Vernon Vipers could not have asked for any better.
Braden Pimm scored just 13 seconds after the opening face-off to spark the Vipers as the Pacific Region representatives opened the 2009 RBC Cup with a 4-2 win over the Summerside Western Capitals on Sunday afternoon at Bear Mountain Arena.
With the starting line-up barely announced and most fans not yet in their seats, Pimm snapped a shot past Summerside goaltender Alex Dupuis to give his team the very early lead.
Wonder-twins Connor and Kellen Jones combined for a shorthanded goal just 6:27 later for a 2-0 advantage as Vernon opened its quest for a record fifth National Junior A Championship with a win. Connor Jones added his second goal in the second period and Mike Collins also scored for the Vipers, who led 4-0 after 40 minutes.
Nathan DesRoches and Josh McKinnon scored third period goals for Summerside, ending the shutout bid of Vipers netminder Andrew Hammond and cutting the Vernon lead in half.
Vernon faces Humboldt in a possible championship game preview on Monday night (7 p.m. PT), while Summerside will take on Kingston in an all-Eastern battle on Monday afternoon (2 p.m. PT).
