But where is ''left rear panel''? and what is the ''controller''...?
I'm from Sweden...you'll have to be patience with me..
I know ''rear ''is in the back so i guess you mean that there is a cable that were disconnected in the trunk behind the panel to left? By the ''black engine'' to the tunneaucover?

Pulling components and replacing them gets expensive fast.

I had 12v on the controller on the big cables. I have no idea now what to measure...
I tried a semiautomatic controller (because i could find one for free) and it happend nothing.....
I'm so tired if the car...I only had it in a garage for a few months and now it's dead...
I do not think a semi-auto controller will work in a full auto top, there are several switches that are different. I would seriously pull the fuse in the trunk and clean the contacts, and install a new one. If you can't manually store the top and get it to re-sync, then I would take it to a dealer that can diagnose it. The problem seems to have been going on for 2-3 months, and sometimes you got to let the dealer takeover.

1999 323ic...Water behind rear seat and drivers side rear floor
I have a 1999 323ic that I just purchased with 60K original miles...Sounds great....hmmm not so much after 2 weeks. Drives great...Knock on wood...However I had to put a new drive shaft flex seal and rear wheel bearings. Now my son gets in the back seat and he says the seats wet (rained all day)...Sure enough the drivers side floor is soaked and behind the rear seat had a bunch of water. The convertible top is practicably new and seal seem good. Are there drain plugs under the car? I am thinking the water is coming from underneath the car.
There are water drains in the very forward part of the top storage compartment. If they get clogged the water that gets into the compartment collects until it finds a place to run into the passenger compartment.

1997 328 Hood Issues
Hi All,
Could I please request some guidance please on how to move forward with fixing the semi-auto convertible mechanism on my 1997 e36.
I only purchase the car today and the hood has developed a fault already - bummer!
During the test drive and once I had driven away the hood worked fine. Then throughout the day it became temperamental and now won't open at all.
The issue seems to be around the tonneau cover. When I try to put the top down, the hood raises back, the window area raises to allow clearance for the tonneau cover - but the tonneau cover doesn't raise and is stuck tight.
I have found the lever to disconnect the motors as well as the motors themselves in the boot/trunk. Someone has obviously pulled the lever before as it's slightly out of shape. Pulling the lever disconnected the hood motor, but it doesn't appear to have released the tonneau cover as it won't budge - but the cable appears to be slightly slack.
I have also noticed that when I push the hood motor back up in place, the gear doesn't sit completely in the slot available. The motor still moves on it's hinge slightly.
Is it possible to stretch the release cables - as odd as it may sound? I'm wondering if someone has been to heavy handed with the lever (hence it being out of shape) and pulled to hard on the cable?
And as importantly, what could be preventing the tonneau cover from opening in both manual and auto modes?
'm no mechanic, but will attempt to fix something - if I know where to start. Should I just put it in to a garage?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Hi Jim sorry you have this on a new purchase. I recommend you take it to a mechanic knowledgeable in tops. Be forewarned you have a long and tedious search for such an individual. Ask your friends and local postings as well as the local branch of the AAA. And if you are lucky enough to find such an individual that also is honest be prepared to PAY! Nothing is cheap on this work as nobody wants it because its time consuming. Parts are very expensive. I have a 2004 and just paid $1200 for the hydraulic pump. Good luck!
NO!!! the Attachments are blocked at work due to Provocative Attire?????????
Missing gas shocks ?
I spent a weekend getting my top to function as designed with the help provided by this forum, and the 'vert forum on Bimmerforums. I adjusted all linkages and switches as outlined in the pdf and bentley book. I removed the top motor, cleaned and lubed the S1 and S2 switches and bench tested and adjusted them. I put everything back together, synched my top, and for the first time my fully auto top is working right(YAY). However, I could not locate the gas shocks for the tonneau cover, or any mount spots for them. I had the lid off at one point to replace a bowden cable, and did not even realize that there was supposed to be shocks in there. The P.O must have removed them at some point. My question is, will their absence cause a problem? the motor lifts, holds, and lowers the flap with no problems, so can I live with out them until I replace more urgently needed parts (rear tires, ball joints, window regulator etc.)?

Keeping the E36 Cabrio top working
This is the procedure to reset the E36 convertible top in case you have used the emergency release handle that's located under the rear seat. This works on my '97 328iC, which has the fully-automatic top. It may also work on other E36 models and years (caveat emptor). The owner's manual says to take the car to a dealer for service, but why do that when the procedure is so easy?
The owner's manual describes the method for closing the top manually, presumably in case you have a dead battery with the top down and it starts to rain. The top mechanism is driven by two electric motors that are located in the trunk -- one for the lid of the storage bin and one for the top itself. Closing the top manually requires (1) releasing the two motors from their transmission drives (using the afore-mentioned lever, which through a cable release mechanism causes the motors to pop away from their drives), pulling the top out of its storage bin, and then using an Allen wrench (from the tool kit in the trunk) to fully close and lock the top to the windshield. The allen wrench gets inserted into a socket that's hidden behind a plastic cover at the leading edge of the top, and then you turn it many many times to simulate the action of the electric motor. Note - there are interlocks between the storage bin lid and the trunk that prevent you from opening both at the same time.
Once the two motors have been disengaged, the top can only be operated manually -- the LED in the control switch blinks, and the owners manual says you have to take the car to the dealer to reset the correct operation of the top. The reason is that the two electric motors have to be re-engaged with their drive mechanisms and also re-synchronized with each other (you wouldn't want the top to crash into the lid of the storage bin).
Never fear, there is a fairly easy way to reset all of this yourself. The following is courtesy of Brett Anderson, who came to my rescue on this topic. I was having a new subwoofer and amplifier installed in the car, and the installer had the rear seat out when he decided to pull on the release handle to see what would happen (it has a red tag on it that just seems to scream "pull me" -- who could resist?).
First, manually open the top as described above (the motors must first be disengaged - so if the red hadle hasn't been pulled, now is the time to do so). Place the top back into its storage bin, and then close the lid of the bin as far as it will go.
Open the trunk so you can get access to the motors. You may need to push down on the storage bin lid so that it closes far enough to allow you to open the trunk - there's a safety interlock that prevents the trunk from being opened if the lid is open at the same time.
Working inside the trunk, remove the carpet liner from the left side (driver's side) of the trunk. There are two plastic clips that hold the liner in place -- you can pry them out with a screwdriver.
Behind the liner are the two motors that work the top mechanism -- one drives the top and the other is for the lid. Each motor is mounted on a spring-loaded pivot mechanism. The gears on the motors normally engage the gears for their respective transmission mechanisms, but when the release lever is pulled the motors pop away and disengage. So you have to push the motors back into their original positions so that the gears re-engage. When you do this the spring-loaded catch mechanism will firmly latch in place. Be sure that the motors arefirmly seated into the drive, and not just partially engaged.
Once both motors are re-engaged, get into the car, and with the ignition key in the off position press and hold the top control switch in the up (for closing) position. Continuing to hold this switch, turn the key to the "accessory" position (without starting the car) and hold it there. After about twelve seconds the lid will be sucked down into the locked position, and then after a few more seconds the top will start its normal closing procedure.
The motors are now re-synched, and should be all set. Work the system a few times to ensure that both motors are properly engaged and all is well. 2013 MERCEDES BENZ SL-CLASS
Okay, the bar above the rear window on my car has springs that are supposed to connect to it so when i push the switch it folds, right? Well they're missing and i need to add them back. Has anyone had this problem?
Where are the gas shocks?

2006 Z4 3.0si Sport Package (But I'll still hang with my "homies" in the E36 forum)
This appears to be the place for me to post my convertible top questions. I have a 1997 328 I base convertible with a fully automatic top. I took the car off the road for about a year. Prior to storing the car, the top worked fine. However, after reviving the car, the top no longer works. I have two problems, The first problem being the top does not lower. The second problem is that I need to change the rear shocks and it looks like the top shock mounting bolts are under the top cover.
My first attempt to diagnose the problem, I tried to disengage the motors via the latch under the rear seat. The top cover motor drops down as it supposed to. The top cover motor was stuck un the engaged position. In this position, I could not re-sync the motors. Nothing happened. I was able to gently tap on the top motor and it finally disengaged. However now the motor will not re-engage. It seems to be hitting the housing (the lower part of the gear hits the housing). I tried to remove the motor with the bracket but could not figure out how it comes out after removing the four mounting nuts on the bracket. Now the light in the counsel switch no longer blinks but I cannot re-engage the top cover motor. I also believe that the top must be in the lowered position in order to re-sync the motors.
All that being said, regardless of the top working properly, I still need to open the top in order to replace the rear shock absorbers. I tried to lower the top manually, I can get the head liner to release but the rear of the top will not unlock. Is there a way to manually open the top? If this can be done (I am assuming there is a way) how do I remove the top cover motor to see why it is out of alignment. Any advice will be VERY appreciated.
Thank you.
To manually lower the top first ensure the top motor and storage compartment lid motors are disengaged by pulling the release lever under the rear seat. Next using the tool for the front bow of the top, turn until the front unlatches and the front portion of the top raises up past the tension point for the top. This is farther than the point where the head liner releases. It will seem like you're turned to tool about a million turns to get to this point......
When the top is past the tension point you'll need to pull up on the front of the top and the rear bow at the same time.....
2006 Z4 3.0si Sport Package (But I'll still hang with my "homies" in the E36 forum)
Same issue I think
99 full automatic. Did a reset 3 times to get the top to work.
I had to use an allen tool to release the top to a point that I could get it in the back. The top reset and the top would raise to 80% and stop the motor in the top spins but top does not move anymore or tries latching.. light is flashing... If I put the allen tool in crank and crank and crank I can get the top down and light off. Then I can put the top down with button but once again. It will not fully go up with out help of the Allen tool. (now a drill with allen bit.)
Sounds like you've got an issue with one of the micro switches, possibly S8 which is in the front latching assembly. If one of the micro switches opens or closes at the wrong time, the top controller immediately stops the top to prevent damage because at that point the controller doesn't know the position of the top.
If you look at the E36 convertible adjust PDF file at one of the links at the start of this thread it shows where the micro switches are and what each does.

So most likely need to replace a switch not try re sync again. Everything was fine before I took it out of storage. Battery when dead

Three Suspects Arrested In Rash Of Burglaries
Auburn Police have arrested three suspects after a slew of residential burglaries on the city's northside, that included the thefts of guns.
21 year old Tevin Pysnack and 19 year old Jessica Stanton, both of Auburn, have been charged in the case. A 16 year old juvenile was also arrested.
The burglaries occurred in the areas of Perrine Avenue and Bradley Street between October 11th and 13th. Several firearms were stolen in the heists.
During the course of the investigation, it was determined that an individual was trying to find a buyer for a quantity of guns. Police observed the transaction where guns were sold by three people. the sale was stopped and the suspects were detained. That's when search warrants were executed at two homes in the city and led to the arrests.
Auburn Police are also issuing a public plea to anyone who may be aware of any other stolen property that someone may be trying to sell.

The president of the union that had nearly a quarter of its members told their jobs have been cut, or soon will be, says Corner Brook Pulp and Paper is making a mistake.
A dozen of the 50 members from Local 1567 of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers were called into the human resources office at the paper mill Wednesday. Eight of them were told their jobs were gone, while the other four were told theirs would soon follow.
Theirs were among a total of 46 positions throughout the mill that were either cut, reduced to casual pool status or which are vacant and won't be filled in the aftermath of meetings between mill unions and the company Wednesday.
Ross Edison, Local 1567's president, said it is mind-boggling that workers in his union have been deemed no longer necessary. He said his fellow machinists, millwrights, mechanics and welders worked the rough equivalent of one and a half years last year because there was so much to be done.
"All our guys could work whatever overtime they wanted, but there wasn't one word said about labour costs last year," Edison said Thursday. "Not once did (the company) come down and tell us we were working too much overtime or that labour (cost) was running too high. The only reason we were in there to work is because they needed us. Now, all of a sudden, they don't need us? It makes no sense really."
The huge backlog of maintenance work has not gone away, said Edison. Even if the mill's many moving parts were to work perfectly for the next while, Edison said there is still six months worth of work.
More of that work is going to be done by contractors. One employee who got a pink slip Wednesday told The Western Star he saw a contractor doing his union job as he made his way to be told the bad news.
Edison said most of the contractors being hired are actually retired mill employees.
"If you got to trim the fat, you trim the fat, but that's not what's happening here," he said. "What they're doing is replacing one type of job with another type of job."
Even more insulting is the news that salaried managers at the mill were recently given bonuses, he said.
"Can you tell me how providing a bonus is a cost-saving measure? You can't," said Edison. "There's no explanation for it."
The skilled workers the company is giving up on, said Edison, will be difficult to make up for. That, he said, will be a blow to the mill's efforts to enhance the efficiency of its production.
"Some of these guys have 25 or 30 years in the mill and you will find no better workers in Canada," he said. "How are you going to attract that kind of calibre employee back to this town and to this company? It won't be done. I think the right decision for the mill is to keep these highly skilled tradesmen in place to keep the efficiency of the mill where it needs to be."
The company, said Edison, never approached the union about its ideas on how they could cut costs or improve efficiency.
Many believe the pressure being applied on the unions is a tactic for outstanding labour contracts at the mill, which expired in May 2009. The machinists' union has filed for conciliation as there have been no developments since it and the company exchanged proposals last summer.
The workforce reductions don't even begin, added Edison, to address the looming problem of unfunded pension liabilities.
The cuts could also be a signal for help from government. Edison believes any government money should come with certain strings attached.
"There shouldn't be a penney going to Kruger until they open up their books," he said. "There should be jobs attached to any money given. They have to have some sort of guarantees."
Kruger has promised the cuts on its labour costs, which it says are 40 per cent higher than the North American average. Edison said that does not represent a complete picture and it's not fair to compare Corner Brook's mill to others that do not have their own wood rooms, thermo-mechanical pulping processes and shipping staff.
"Break down all the costs from labour to power and mechanical costs and see how we compete," he said. "I'll put my guys against anybody."

I have been in photography for over 40 years. Like most photographers I have no formal training in Photography. I was trained by listening and observing some of the worlds best photographers acrcos the globe. I use" image management" to produce my pictures. That is a picture management system based on the science of management. THE AIM is to " plan a stratergy" . then apply "a structure" to the images that you plan and thirdly apply the skill to the project. In practise you need to "plan well before you take up the camera''. This mangement system improves your total image quality by a huge amount. You can take any subject and apply this system and it will produce images of outstanding quality time after time. I now teach and mentor all types of photographers acroos the globe. Contact me at email@example.com I 'll be glad to hear from you. ROD

No, seriously, why is WaPo publishing D'Souza?
Blog ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
My colleague Ben Dimiero has already laid out the many reasons why the Washington Post looks ridiculous by publishing Dinesh D'Souza's op-ed on President Obama's "anti-colonial" ideology (the theme of D'Souza's new, lie-filled book), but I'd like to kick in a couple more.
First, the Post isn't the only media outlet to feature D'Souza today. WorldNetDaily, the internet's buzzing hive of birtherism, published their fawning interview with D'Souza this morning, wholeheartedly endorsing his "anti-colonial" theory, which amounts to a sort of high-brow birtherism. So in publishing D'Souza, the Post has found some common ground with a website that credulously reported the "smoking gun" of Obama's (fake) Kenyan birth certificate.
Second, Howard Kurtz, the Post media critic who just defected to the Daily Beast, criticized the paper on Twitter this morning, asking why the paper would "run a condensed version of Dinesh D'Souza's Forbes piece, abetting [the] discredited argument that Obama's dad made him anticolonial?"
It's a good question, and there really is no good answer.

If the answer is "NO" please let me know it..so I can stop looking for that kind of a solution...
I read the forum but I couldn't find the answer of my question about what I am looking for. Let me tell what I am looking for:
I have a wordlist. Let's say "names" and it goes like (john, tom, william..)
and I want to create an other new list by using this list, like;
This is the most simple manuplation that I want to make to the first list but according to the possible needs which will appear in future, I would like to make some other manuplations and create new lists like;
(Putting something inside words)
(Combining words within other words in an other wordlist)
Let's say I have a second wordlist like (TABLE, DESK, ...)
and new (third) wordlist should be like;
So I hope I can make it understandable what I am looking for. I don't know if classic programs can do it like John the Ripper, etc.. But I didn't see any example in anywhere that show they can do it. Examples that I saw were always about creating some wordlists for brute forse attack.
SO, my main question is : Is there a way (software) which allows me to generate wordlists by making this kind of intelligent choices?
If the answer is "NO" please let me know it..so I can stop looking for that kind of a solution...
try john the ripper (JTR) or the french backtrack forum guys have some nifty wordlist gens, look for recent posts about them, i think one was called giga-wordlist generator. also crunch can be handy.
I hope you've got loads and loads of HD space if your going to be playing with these.......
Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
I had some tries with all that programs you mentioned. But I couldn't find a way to make what I am trying.
I may miss the solution. So, do you know (certainly) that programs can do that or are you just making a guess?
try the the command
not sure of the syntax right now as i am tired and hungry after a long activity weekend with uni but if you man it and google it and also search this forum i am sure that you will find what you needCode:sed
"At least black people knew when they where slaves" Doug stanhope
I had a look to that command and tried it but I think that command is not the answer of this solution
I would appreciate if anyone inform me about do I making something wrong?
sorry dude but that is the answer to your question. it does exactly what you want!!
"At least black people knew when they where slaves" Doug stanhope
sed will do exactly what you want. You just want something more simple and windows like it seems.
yeah, it seems I am not very good at using this type of commands but it is good to hear that there is a ready solution for this kind of a manuplation even if it is not very simple (for me) and not with GUI. (By the way, I am looking to all over the internet for one week and I can not believe that there is not "even one" small ready program which makes this kind of manupulations to the wordlists)
Nevermind..so can you give a little bit hint about how can I use sed command. For examles if we talk about my first example how can I convert {john,tom..} to {john1, john,2, ...john9999, tom1, ....}
I need to add that, I can manage to add something to the end of words with "sed" command. There is no big problem in appending or predending a fix word to every line in the word list.
But I couldn't add a sequence of numbers (For ex. 1 to 999) to every line of the wordlist.
Or to add all words of a second wordlist to my every line of my original wordlist.
sed 's/$/123/' wordlist.txt > NewWordlist.txt
in the command above I need to put the result of (like a dynamic variable)
/pentest/password/crunch 3 3 1234567890
instead of fixed "123" part, But HOW? With pipe? I don't know how...
is it possible? even yes or no is enough for me to decide my direction? But more information is always appreciated..

Just a Thought.. Best Debut Novels of 2011
2011 has seen a lot of wonderful novels, many of them by well-established authors. But there have also been quite a few break-through successes for brand-new authors. Many of the most popular and well-reviewed books of the year have been debut novels from first-time authors or authors who had only published short stories or memoirs previous to their novelistic success. Here's hoping the years to come bring more great novels from these rising stars!
Benaron, Naomi. Running the Rift
Harbach, Chad. The Art of Fielding
Morgenstern, Erin. The Night Circus
Obreht, Tea. The Tiger's Wife
Russell, Karen. Swamplandia!
Torres, Justin. We The Animals

Both his band and Soundgarden had released what turned out to be monumental albums on the same day that year -- Nine Inch Nails' Downward Spiral and Soundgarden's Superunknown. Soundgarden won the chart battle, and Reznor says he and his bandmates went into the Toronto show with a chip on their shoulder.

Now that Mr. Bagley was no longer there to spy upon their actions these clandestine interviews had been comparatively easy.
"Well, I guess that's about all Dav does," said Bagley, in a jocular manner.
When they stopped at Bagley, Vizard suspected where they were going.
"Neither have I," quoth Bagley, and filled his mouth with mutton and potato.
"I seem to have been outmaneuvered," said Mrs. Bagley with a worried frown.
As for Bagley, his risk in producing a play by an unknown man was great.
"I should think he'd be the very man for you," said Turl to Bagley.
Larcher, looking around, saw that Bagley had followed close.
I am quite sure that your order had no effect, and was intended to have no effect on Mr Bagley's vote.
The guard who shot Bagley was spirited away and never brought to justice.

Milliken will spend Thursday, August 5, in Lincoln getting settled in his new office and meeting with his staff, then head for Nebraska City to preside at his first Board of Regents meeting on Friday and Saturday, completing the journey from the western to eastern borders of the state. During the statewide journey, the Milliken children will take breaks to visit several museums, take a wagon train ride, see a zoo, shop at Cabela's, and swim at a water park.
The idea, Milliken says, is to renew the family's familiarity with the state and meet with as many Nebraskans as possible. "I hope the message is that I intend to be out and around the state a great deal talking with Nebraskans about their university," Milliken said. Milliken and his wife, Nana Smith, lived in the state when he served as an administrator at the University of Nebraska from the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s, and all three of their children --Bennett, Caleb, and Anna-- were born during that time.
Some key events during the visit:
Monday, August 2
10:15 a.m. -- coffee with faculty, staff, and community leaders at the Panhandle Research and Extension Center, 4502 Avenue I, Scottsbluff
12:00 noon -- speech to Scottsbluff-Gering Chamber of Commerce, Gering Civic Center
Wednesday, August 3
10:00 a.m. -- coffee with faculty, staff, and community leaders at the West Central Research and Extension Center, 461 University Drive, North Platte
Wednesday, August 4
10:00 a.m. -- tour of the University of Nebraska at Kearney campus with UNK Chancellor Doug Kristensen
2:30 p.m. -- coffee with chamber members and other community leaders sponsored by the Grand Island Area Chamber of Commerce, St. Francis Medical Center, Grand Island

Message to Troops Wishing to Donate to Other Troops
Barbara Murphy-Warrington, CEO, Girl Scouts of Greater New York
Dear Girl Scout Family and Friends,
In the last two weeks, we have received an enormous outpouring of support from Girl Scout Troops and individuals throughout the country. In addition to donating supplies to relief efforts, many troops would like to send personal gifts of blankets, toys, letters, and other items to sister Girl Scouts affected by Sandy. We appreciate these offers and plan to accommodate them all over time, hopefully before the end of the calendar year. As we continue our efforts to provide support for our volunteers and girls locally, we wanted to let you know that we have your request to send non-cash gift items to a troop in our area on record and we will be working in the coming weeks to partner you with a local Troop.
We have been able to connect to most of our Leaders in affected areas and are still reaching out to others, and by extension to our girls. Many of them have been displaced from their homes and are working through the process of bringing some semblance of normalcy to their lives. In many cases, affected Troops have also lost their meeting places due to storm damage. While Leaders are in touch with their girls, often they are taking a few weeks away from regular Troop meetings and we are assisting them in finding alternative meetings spaces. We know your gifts will be welcomed by them in the weeks to come, and particularly as we near the holiday season.
This week has required us to draw on our compassion, our energy, and our resourcefulness. You and our sister Girl Scouts across the country have been a tremendous source of strength as we recover and rebuild our community. It also has given us cause to be truly proud of the Girl Scout movement, given the numerous examples of kindness and generosity. Juliette's words ring true: "Ours is a circle of friends united by ideals."
Yours in Girl Scouting,
Barbara Murphy Warrington, CEO
Girl Scouts of Greater New York

Brevard, N.C. - The third-seed Brevard College Tornados men's basketball team continues postseason play on Saturday, March 6th, at Catawba Valley Community College, as the Tornados take on the seventh-seeded Carson-Newman Eagles at 2:30 p.m.
Brevard reached the semifinals of the 2010 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference tournament by defeating Wingate on Wednesday night, 88-79, behind a 30-point performance by junior guard Josh Roper. The win placed the Southeast regionally 10th-ranked Tornados at 19-9 on the season, in prime position to take a spot in the NCAA Division II tournament.
The Tornados and the Eagles have faced each other twice this season already.
Brevard took the first game between the two teams, winning game one on January 20th in Boshamer Gymnasium, 67-65. Jonathan Whitson led four Tornados in double figures in game with 14 points as Brevard was able to withstand a brilliant game by Eagles' Cameron Sharp as the sophomore hit seven three-pointers to keep Carson-Newman in the game. Ultimately, the defensive effort by Josh Roper at the end of the game forced a wild last second shot by Sharp as Brevard won the contest.
In the rematch between the two teams at Holt Fieldhouse, Brevard defeated the Eagles 76-59 on February 17th. Sam Carlisle led the way for the Tornados in a game which saw Brevard go up by as many as 28 points, with the 6-10 senior scoring 23 points and pulling down nine rebounds. The Tornados opened the game by going up 39-16 in the first half and held a 74-46 lead in the second half on their way to the season sweep.
Key players in the game for the Tornados include Roper, Whitson, Carlisle and senior guard/forward Nathan Whitmire.
Roper leads the Tornados in points per game and assists, sitting fourth in the South Atlantic Conference with 20.2 points per game and second with 4.36 assists per contest. Whitson is also among the conference scoring leaders at 17.8 points per game, while sitting second with 8.1 rebounds per game. Carlisle has come on recently to increase his scoring to 11.1 points per game and is third in the SAC in rebounding with 7.3 per contest. Whitmire has caught in the past four games for the Tornados, averaging 16.3 points per game and five rebounds per game to help balance the scoring and give Coach Michael Jones another offensive weapon to use.
Carson-Newman knocked off second-seeded Tusculum on Wednesday behind Tray Okoth's career night as the senior scored 25 points to lead the Eagles to the 76-69 upset.
The Eagles are led on the season by Jordan Dixon, Darron Maxtion and Sharp. Dixon leads the team with 12.8 points per game, while Maxtion is at 11.4 points and is second on the team with 5.1 rebounds per game. Sharp rounds out the group averaging double digits for Coach Dale Clayton with 10.5 points per game and is hitting 37.8 percent of his three-point attempts on the season.
Tipoff for the game between the Tornados and the Eagles is set for Saturday, March 6th, at 2:30 p.m. at Catawba Valley Community College following the other men's semifinal game between top-seed Catawba and fourth-seed Lincoln Memorial. The 2010 Food Lion SAC Tournament Championship is set for Sunday, March 7th, at 2 p.m.
Tickets for the semifinals and championships will be on sale at the CVCC arena on the day of the games. Semifinals and Championship ticket prices are $10 per day (Adults); $5 per day (students, college students with ID and children).

I fighted a bit to get my WLAN working on my Asus eeePC 1001P. I found this guide, which helped on my desktop OS, Ubuntu Karmic, as well as on my Backtrack installation:
Mind Booster Noori: HOWTO have wireless working on an ASUS EEE PC 1001P in Ubuntu
However, with the new kernel, Backtracks startx fails. I see some colored action, I suspect the X server does start, some white pixels move when I move the touchpad mouse, but it's a lot like those old pay porn TV channels.
Weirdly, Ctrl+Alt+F6 fails too. I switch to a totally black screen, and Ctrl+F7 switches back to my weird X.
It's been a long time since I manually configured an X server (I don't even remember if it's Xorg or that other thing), but didn't I have some file to edit?
Or maybe the problem is somewhere else - no idea.
Would be great if someone could help me out here. Thanks in advance

Provo • The BYU Cougars face three tough tests to start the 2013 season, beginning with the Aug. 31 cross-country trip to Virginia, followed by the home opener on Sept. 7 against No. 15 Texas. After a bye, BYU plays host to a team that has defeated it three straight times: Utah.
Obviously, the Cougars need to break out of the gates quickly, especially on offense
But after Wednesday's final scrimmage of preseason camp at LaVell Edwards Stadium, new offensive coordinator Robert Anae again tempered expectations, saying the Cougars might not be firing on all cylinders until midway through the season.
"You really know what you got, probably midseason," he said. "So to jump to early conclusions is way, way premature. Right about midyear, toward the latter half of the year, I hope we can hit the nail on the head with who we are."
On Wednesday, they were sluggish on offense, Anae and starting quarterback Taysom Hill acknowledged. Of course, many of Hill's expected weapons this season senior receivers Cody Hoffman and JD Falslev and sophomore running back Jamaal Williams did not play. Probable starting offensive linemen Ryker Mathews, Terrance Alletto and Solomone Kafu were also held out.
"We started kind of slow, but toward the end the guys kind of pulled themselves [together] and had a better showing than in the beginning," Anae said. "We didn't convert a couple of third downs, and we were kind of rusty throwing and catching. But that's the purpose of coming to the stadium, to experience those kinds of events here."
Reminded that BYU can't afford another slow start, due to its schedule, Anae referred to his oft-repeated analogy of running a marathon.
"With a couple players that we are looking at, they are going to have years to develop in the offense, so yeah, sure, everybody wants to win all your games. But I would like to be able to develop ourselves with a long-term plan," Anae said.
Hill said the offense "was more sluggish than I was obviously hoping for," and agreed that it is still "in the developmental stage," but also spoke confidently about being ready when it needs to be.
"I feel confident that we know the offense and we can execute it at a high level and that if we play well, we can go in and beat Virginia," he said.
Mendenhall said the purpose of the scrimmage wasn't to assess how ready the offense is at this point, but to get better looks at different younger players and solidify the depth chart and who will make the traveling squad.
"I think our knowledge of the offensive system, and the tempo, is probably ahead of where I thought it would be," Mendenhall said. "Execution, we will have to see on game day, really."
At the end of the scrimmage, the offense came alive, sparked by a rugged, tackle-breaking 27-yard run from former Skyline High product Algernon Brown that set up a 21-yard touchdown pass from Ammon Olsen to tight end Devin Mahina. Prior to that, the highlight was a 56-yard strike from Hill to Brett Thompson that set up Paul Lasike's 1-yard TD run.
The defense held out frontline players as well, including linebacker Kyle Van Noy. Robertson Daniel, the junior college transfer who is being asked to be the starting field corner after Jordan Johnson's season-ending knee injury, intercepted an Olsen pass for that unit's highlight of the day.
Camp Corner
What we learned • The Cougars held their final scrimmage of fall camp on Wednesday, and the tight ends emerged with big plays after being silent most of camp.
Who was hot • Devin Mahina caught a 21-yard touchdown pass, Brett Thompson caught a 56-yarder, and Algernon Brown made some nice runs, picking up 33 yards total.
Who was out • Safety Craig Bills left the field with an apparent shoulder injury, but returned after the scrimmage and said he was fine.

Bollinger Grande Annee 007 Brut 2002
Vintage Sparkling Wine from Champagne, France
Winemaker's Notes
La Grande Année is the Prestige Cuvée of Champagne Bollinger. It is only produced when exceptional quality harvests occur, and is the expression of Bollinger's know-how. More than the illustration of the vintage particularity, La Grande Année is the result of the Bollinger style, of its exceptional "terroir" and traditional wine making techniques. La Grande Année develops a beautiful rounded structure and combines rich, complex and intense aromas, the expression of which changes according to the characteristics of the vintage.
Slightly pinkish, or rose gold color which shows the maturity of the wine. Aromas of rhubarb, stone fruits, toasty with notes of exotic spices. The bubble is very present but silky (proof of the lengthy aging on lees).
Critical Acclaim
Australian Wine Companion - "This is a blend of 60% pinot noir and 40% chardonnay (Grand Années highest ever percentage of chardonnay). It also followed in the footsteps of the 2000 Grande Année with eight years on lees (previously it was six years). I tasted it in Champagne in July, and two months later in Australia, and it is a truly superb wine. Bright gold, it has all the legendary complexity and power of Bollinger, yet has great purity, precision, freshness and balance through to the finish of its very long lemon/citrus zest palate."
Wine & Spirits - "Digging deep into its limestone soils, this 2002 comes at you with scents of jasmine, lilac, Asian pear and a continuous pale chalk power. The oak aging of its base wines darkens the fruit and increases its muscular tone, a tannic austerity gentled by the floral notes. The wine smells beautiful: For all its mineral backbone and ten years of maturity, the impression it leaves is that of a sunny meadow—a scent tied to the freshness of fruit in the vintage."
Wine Spectator - "Ripe, appealing flavors of peach, Gala apple, toast and blood orange mix with a streak of minerality, racy acidity and spice notes, all set on the fine-grained texture. Fresh and focused, with a long, mouthwatering, nut-tinged finish. Drink now through 2025."
The Wine Advocate - "The 2002 Brut La Grande Annee is marvelous. The 2002 is an understated Grande Annee that caresses the palate with layers of effortless, weightless fruit. The mousse is exceptionally fine, which adds to the impression of total elegance. This is a relatively bright, floral Grande Annee with plenty of aromatic lift, inner perfume and no sense of heaviness at all. A rich, creamy finish adds the final note of complexity and pedigree. The 2002 is 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, 71% from Grand Cru villages and 29% from Premier Crus. Disgorged February 2011. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022. "
International Wine Cellar - "Light gold. Ripe pear and honey on the explosively perfumed nose, with sexy floral and marzipan nuances expanding with air. Fat, full and palate-coating, boasting impressive power and thrust. Shows an intriguing blend of richness and energy and finishes long, with smoky and spicy nuances. "

Champagne Bollinger Winery
In 1829, Champagne Bollinger introduced an instantly recognizable, dry, toasty style that connoisseurs around the globe have coveted ever since. Six generations of the Bollinger family have maintained that trademark style, and Bollinger is one of the rare Grande Marque houses to be owned, controlled and managed by the same family since it was founded.
With 399 acres of vineyards situated in the best Grands Crus and Premiers Crus villages, Bollinger relies on its own estate for nearly two-thirds of its grape requirements, including the Pinot Noir that gives its Champagne its distinctive roundness and elegance. Bollinger is one of a select few houses that can control the quality of its grape supply so carefully.
Bollinger is renowned for its stringent quality standards. It adheres to traditional methods, including individual vinification of each marc and cru, barrel fermentation (it is the last Champagne house to employ a full-time cooper) and extra-aging on the lees prior to disgorgement.
Members of the British Royal Court were among the first to embrace Bollinger's unmistakable quality, and Queen Victoria made Bollinger the exclusive purveyor to the Court by Royal Warrant in 1884. Besides royalty, loyal devotees have included heads of state, celebrities and even famous fictional characters: Agent 007, James Bond, demands the exclusive Champagne Bollinger.

About ChampagneView a map of Champagne wineries Champagne is both a region and a method. The wines come from the northernmost vineyards in France and the name conjures an image like no other can. An 18th Century Benedictine monk named Dom Perignon is said to be the first to blend both varietals and vintages, making good wines not only great, but also special and unique to their winemaker. Today, nearly 75% of Champagne produced is non-vintage and made up by a blend of several years' harvests.
All Champagnes must be made by a strictly controlled process called "Méthode Champenoise." The grapes are pressed and fermented for the first time. The blending phase follows and the wine is bottled and temporarily capped. Then comes the second fermentation, a blend of sugar and yeast is added and, this time, the carbon dioxide is kept inside the bottle. This process leaves a great deal of sediment that is extracted through a process of "racking" or "riddling." The bottles are progressively turned upside down until all the sediment is collected in the neck. The necks are then frozen and the sediment is "disgorged." After this phase, the winemaker may decide to add sugar to sweeten the wine. Finally the wine is corked. Some wines move through this process in a couple of months, while others are aged after the riddling phase to build greater complexity and depth.
Champagnes range from dry, "Brut," to slightly sweet, "Demi-Sec." Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes are used in Champagne blends, but "Blancs de Noirs" is made entirely of Pinot Noir and "Blancs de Blanc" is made from only Chardonnay grapes. The high acidity achieved by the northern location is crucial to the balance and structure of these wines.
Not every year is a "vintage" declared. In years when it is not, the wines are blended with the produce from other years to create the non-vintage blend, the house style that remains constant from year to year. But in a great vintage year, champagne houses will bottle by itself the unblended year's produce, and use other portions as "reserve" wines to supplement and enrich the non-vintage blend. A vintage champagne can age quite gracefully, and gain complexity just like any other great still wine.
Mild cheeses like gruyere and shellfish pair nicely with Champagne. Also, oysters and Champagne is a popular combination. A full-flavored vintage Champagne can go with almost any meal.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

PASADENA - Some dragged their feet, some rejoiced and others trailed behind a tow truck, but all the stars of the 124th annual Rose Parade finally made it across the parade's finish line Tuesday after a 5 1/2-mile trek through the streets of Pasadena.
Parade goers - many of whom were still shaking off a lack of sleep, the cold morning frost and even a few remnant tortillas from the previous night's New Year's Eve festivities - were numerous and lively, shouting "Happy New Year," "Good job" and "You made it" to the parade participants as they came to the end of the route.
Float riders and band members responded to the cheers from the crowd, and some of the bands, including those from Stanford University and the University of Wisconsin, finished strong with some impromptu dance moves as they turned the final corner.
"My favorite part was to hear everyone cheer us on, I felt like, `Oh, they like me,"' said Katie Lamar, 16, of the Pasadena City College Tournament of Roses Honor Band.
Most floats safely glided past the crowds of cheering viewers, and taller ones, like Kaiser Permanente's Dr. Seuss-themed float, participated in a game of limbo underneath the route's final traffic light.
But it wasn't smooth sailing for everyone. More than one float, such as Dole's "Dreaming of Paradise," got its top caught on the parade's final height hurdle, a low-hanging telephone wire.
Still others needed the help of a heavy duty tow truck to make it past the fences on Sierra Madre Boulevard and into the float viewing area.
In the end, though many had just marched, walked or rode on one of the longest parade routes around, this year's Rose Parade participants agreed that "it was worth it," if not only for the free In-N-Out meal the band members earned as a reward but also for their hard work.
"It was fun, but it was really hard," said Gabbie Mellie, 15, of West Virginia, who plays the tuba for the Morgantown High School Red and Blue Marching Band. "But I like that all the people back in Morgantown are saying how proud they are of us."
PCC band member Paul Salazar, 16, agreed that the experience was one he'll never forget.
"It's kind of on your bucket list if you're a musician," he said.
Jon Reeves, engineer for the city of Burbank's float, said he was just glad to get out of the cramped float cockpit without any major issues - personal or mechanical.
"The hard part is because you want to avoid any biological urges, shall we say, when I came here this morning I hadn't eaten or drunk anything since midnight last night," Reeves said.
But, he said, it is fun to look out the small peephole of the float and see the crowds applauding and enjoying his handiwork.
For Francisco Xavier De Melo, 48, a representative of India on the Aids Healthcare Foundation's "The Global Face of AIDS" float, riding on the float meant celebrating New Year's Day in a new and exciting way while also raising awareness for those like him that are living with HIV.
"It was millions of people coming together to celebrate New Year's Day," De Melo said. "All Americans coming together. ... It felt so good."

Two Car Collision Sends Two to Hospitals After Vehicle Hits Old Penfield Building
(Syracuse, NY) A rollover accident sent a car crashing into the former Penfield Manufacturing factory on Syracuse's North Side. It happened shortly before 9 a.m. Friday at Park and Wolf streets. A 2014 Ford Escape, driven by a 33-year-old woman from Buffalo, went through a stop sign and crashed into a 2008 Hyundai sedan.
The Escape ended up on its passenger side in the intersection and the Hyundai crashed into the factory building, known for the house on its roof. It struck the building's gas main, leading National Grid to respond.
The Escape's driver will be ticketed on a charge of failing to stop at a stop sign, Bulinski said. Both drivers and a male passenger in the Escape were taken to Syracuse hospitals for check-ups.
Park Street and Wolf Street (Route 11) were closed for about an hour in the blocks surrounding the crash.

American Torture is now available!
American Torture
by Michael Otterman
The Bush Administration called them an "alternative set of procedures" - forced standing for up to forty hours, sleep deprivation for weeks on end, dousing naked prisoners with ice water in rooms chilled to fifty degrees Fahrenheit, and strapping prisoners to inclined boards then flooding their mouths with water. American Torture examines the origins of this interrogation regime and traces how it was refined, spread, and kept legal. Along the way, American Torture uncovers the effects of state-sponsored torture and deconstructs the myths espoused by its proponents.
Michael Otterman's powerful book, American Torture, traces the history of American torture from Nazi Germany to Guantanamo Bay. It is an immensely disturbing story made all the more chilling by his disclosures that today these interrogation techniques are officially sanctioned under the guise of national security and that sets of rules have been developed to govern its practice. This book should be compulsory reading for everyone with concerns over human rights."
- Rod Barton, former Director of Intelligence, weapons inspector, and advisor to the CIA
Michael Otterman's book makes you think long and hard not only about human nature, but also about what the long haul of civilisation has brought us. The irony is that one of modern history's outstanding democracies is peeling back those achievements like the skin of an orange. Fortunately, many decent Americans are fighting back."
- Sydney Morning Herald
Otterman writes as a patriot - one who expects much of his country and is angry when it fails him."

The Long Beach Police Department's Traffic Unit will be conducting a DUI and driver's license checkpoint tonight.
The DUI checkpoint will be conducted in the East Patrol Division from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. Sunday, according to an LBPD press release. The exact location of the checkpoint wasn't provided.
According to police officials, over the past three years DUI collisions have claimed 14 lives and resulted in 305 injury crashes, harming 417 people in Long Beach.
In California, DUI-related accidents caused 791 deaths. Alcohol and drug-impaired deaths still make up the largest category of overall vehicle fatalities in 2010 with 29 percent of all deaths caused by a drunk driver, officials said.
A DUI checkpoint is a proven effective method to lower these numbers, police said.
Officers tonight will also check that drivers have valid licenses. When possible, specially trained officers will be available to evaluate those suspected of drug-impaired driving.
Police officials said that a DUI and drug-impaired arrest can cost up to $10,000, including time in jail, the loss of a driver's license and high insurance rates.
The Long Beach DUI enforcement efforts are funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
