Our mission at Hanley-Wood's TOOLS OF THE TRADE is to bring you the best tool coverage in the industry to help you work faster, safer, and smarter. It's hard work, sure, but it's fun, too. Especially when it comes to searching out the annual list of Editors' Choice Award winners. Every year we comb the industry to uncover the tools we wish we'd invented ourselves. They are the "must-have" tools for your jobsites; the ones that make us nod our heads and say, "Finally!" Some of the tools and equipment you'll read about here were born of pure inspiration in the shops of contractor-inventors who have found a better way of doing things. Others are the products of massive research dollars and design efforts by product gurus and engineers at global corporations. This year's winners include a portable saw stand that really makes it easy to get around and a new work van that redefines the category. Wherever they come from, whatever their sources, here are our choices for the best tools from the past year. ?The Editors
A great thing about self-leveling, rotating laser levels is the immediacy of accurate layout lines. But while their speed and efficiency are indispensable on site, shooting both plumb and level lines usually means setting up the laser twice: once for level, once for plumb. The RoboToolz RT-7690-2 goes a giant step further by generating both axes simultaneously and lets you adjust them by remote control. According to the company, this new laser is the only self-leveling, rotating, dual-line, remote-controlled laser on the market, and it promises to make even quicker work of layout than ever before.
The tool uses a pendulum to level/plumb itself, has audio and visual indicators to signal out-of-level, and its remote control works on a radio frequency from up to 300 feet away. The radio frequency means that you don't need a direct line of site between the remote control and the level to operate the tool, which is nice for crowded jobsites. The RT-7690-2 also has six adjustable line lengths and adjustable rotation speed for different ambient light conditions or applications. The level includes a two-sided LCD reader that detects the beam up to 300 feet away, inside or out. Also, according to RoboToolz, the RT-7690-2 is easy to re-calibrate on site, eliminating downtime for the tool. It sells for $599.

Spec out Laser Levels on ebuild, the Professional's Guide to Building Products(TM).
The Stacker Bracket is a unique kind of staging designed for roof framers. Its main purpose is fall protection, but it also serves as a work platform for high work like truss loading, installing sheathing, running fascia, building dormers, and other roof-edge operations. If you can leave it up long enough, even your roofers could get a running start at the paper and first courses.
What makes this system different, though, is how it attaches to the building. Instead of a ground-up installation like pipe staging or pump-jacks, the Stacker Bracket hooks over the top plate behind the frieze block. This installation method eliminates some of the slowdowns that can affect other types of staging, like utility line trenches, mud, and uneven terrain. Also, according to the company, your crew can install it when they're ready, which eliminates waiting for other trades to do their work. Finally, because Stacker Bracket installs from inside the building, it's safe to assemble. It also looks like a real time saver. The brackets go on before the roof trusses and are easy enough for one crew member to install and remove with basic tools. According to the company, California OSHA verifies that Stacker Bracket's engineering meets their scaffolding requirements and a federal verification is in the works. Brackets, end rails, scaffold planks, and 2x4 rails for a 2,500-square-foot house cost about $4,300.

Solange Knowles posts Beyonce photo for #TBT
Listen to Solange on iHeartRadio | Listen to Beyonce on iHeartRadio
Solange Knowles has been sending mixed messages ever since the footage of her elevator attack on Jay-Z hit the web this week.
After deleting all of the photos of her sister, Beyonce, from her Instagram page a few days ago, it seems she has had a change of heart.
She posted a sweet pic of her and her Bey on Instagram on Thursday for #TBT, suggesting whatever bad blood between them has been washed away.
Could this be the end of their feud?
Perhaps Beyonce's sweet gesture of flooding her page with snapshots of Solange softened her heart?

Volunteers across America: Louisiana
My name is Max Jay-Dixon. I'm a recent Tulane graduate and a volunteer with President Obama's campaign in Louisiana.
I'm originally from Minnesota, but I moved to New Orleans to go to school. I graduated in 2011 with a degree in psychology and theatre, so I spend most of my time outside of volunteering acting in independent films. I cast my first vote in a presidential election for Barack Obama in 2008, and I knew I wanted to do something more than just vote this time around.
The reason I finally stepped up was this idea that suddenly hit me: If I'm having issues with student loan debt, for example, there are probably a lot of other people like me facing the same problem. And we're more likely to be able to do something if I talk to a lot of other students and recent graduates. I started to learn more about the grassroots organization and how the community organizing model works, and that was so powerful.
New Orleans is an incredibly diverse place, and I think it's the perfect place to build a campaign like ours. One of the successes of this organization comes from President Obama's background—he's great at firing up the community and getting all kinds of people involved. So I've really been pushing to help build something I didn't get a lot when I was in school: the chance to really get out there, and encourage the students—who can at times live in sort of a campus bubble—to attend big public events that involve a lot of people from the New Orleans area. It's been positive, and I've been happy with the results when we can pull off that kind of crossover.
Volunteering for the campaign has been very much a learn-as-you-go process for me. We have this great organizer's handbook and a ton of resources to help us out, but I've also learned by making my own mistakes. When I had my first campus event, for example, two people showed up—and neither of them were students. I realized that when I was out there tabling and talking to students, I just gave them the information about our event—I didn't get them to make a commitment to coming, or make a clear ask. Now I know: People are more likely to respond positively if they know exactly what you're asking them to do.
Because we're still laying our foundation right now, people don't necessarily see how what we're doing today is key in building toward Election Day. That's the most important thing I like to tell voters: Having people step up now and take on leadership roles, work on growing the organization and building this strong network of people who know each other and work well together—that's what will push us to 270 electoral votes. It's great to get involved closer—or really at any point—and if that's all the time you have, you should do what you can and not over-commit. But if you're ready to get involved now, that work will be so much more amplified—the impact of that will be staggering come November.
Keep up with Max and the rest of the Louisiana team by following the state blog.

Alright guys, yes I am a newbie to linux, but I really want to learn the stuff, so please bear with me here, I am trying to find clear, understandable answers. I know that may not be entirely possible without a basic understanding of linux, so let me inform you that I have a ton of books and anything else related to linux for reference purposes. I have also been dabbling in Linux live CD's for about eight months now, So I kind of understand some things, and if you have an answer that will work, I will be able to figure it out and apply it..
Anyway, enough digressing. I installed a multi boot system on my laptop this weekend which consists of three XP systems, and Back|Track 2. Everything works flawlessly, except for the fact that I have no mouse in Back|Track 2. I have searched the net and applied what I have learned through that. I learned that settings can be adjusted in xorg.conf, and that the [drivers?] are found in /dev, and in /dev/input. I have tried many different settings, and none of these work at all.
I also learned of a way to identify peripherals plugged into USB ports, at least I think that's what it does.
entering the command: lsusb, and pressing enter, I get the following info printed out:
bus 2 device 3: id 0d62:0530 darfon electronics corp.
I'm sure you understand that this is only the line that contained info, I ommitted all other lines. I believe that this points to my mouse, which is a miniature Gigaware portable laser mouse that I purchased at Radio Shack.
So, after failing in the autosetep with typing xorgconfig outside of x, and also typing xorgsetup, I have made my way to /etc/x11/, and manually adjusted the settings to add an additional input device, and point it to /dev/mouse, /dev/input/mice, /dev/input/mouse0, and so on with all the different options available. I still could not get it to work.
Now, short of purchasing a new mouse, is there any other way to get this to work?
One other thing that may or may not be helpful, My laptop is a Dell Vostro 1000, and is basically stock except for extra ram.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, I hope someone could be helpful and point me in the right direction.

if u used it with vmware the problem would go away..

Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
O.K., I have entered in the code you gave me. I tried it both inside and outside of X, and it seems to have made some progress, but not very much. In X, I get the mouse to work, but it is very, very slow, and kind of jerky. If I type it in outside of X, then run startx, it works just fine, that is until the start up music plays. then I get nothing.
Any other possibilities?
off the top of my head it sounds like an IRQ conflict with the soundcard, I'm not sure howto fix it though
Wrong place
Wrong time
Wrong woman
Again, thank you for the suggestion, I will definitely look into it.

Banner Health announced the acquisition of Odyssey Hospice in Maricopa County, which is owned by Gentiva, a national home care and hospice organization based in Atlanta, Ga. Non-profit Banner Health will assume operations of Odyssey Hospice facilities and programs on Dec. 1, 2012. On that date, Banner Hospice will transition Odyssey patients, employees, facilities and programs into Banner.
"This expansion of hospice care is an important part of building a key patient program within Banner's continuum of community-based services. Banner Hospice is an essential resource for the growing number of patients within insurance plans served by the Banner Health Network," said Banner Health's David Baker, chief executive officer of Banner Home Care. "We're extremely pleased to bring such a high quality service like Odyssey Hospice into Banner Health, and we're honored to bring such an outstanding group of professionals into Banner," he continued.
The acquisition includes two in-patient hospice facilities – one in Mesa and the other in Peoria – and all in-home hospice services in Maricopa County. Odyssey's in-patient hospice unit in Mesa will merge on December 1, and all patients will be transferred into Banner Hospice's Mesa in-patient facility. "We are committed to ensuring that these transfers occur as smoothly as possible for the patients and their families," Baker said.
Odyssey Hospice employs more than 130 people in the Phoenix area. It is anticipated that Banner's daily census of hospice patients in Maricopa County, both in-patient and in-home, will grow to more than 300 patients daily.

I want to propose a model that can help bridge the gap between Israel and the Diaspora. If tikkun olam is the way to the hearts of young Jews, Israel should generate opportunities for Diaspora Jews who are seeking self-realization via humanitarian activities.
Everyone knows that an ocean separates Israel and the United States. Yet after three days in New York, I realized just how big that ocean really is.
Along with five Israeli journalists, I participated in a seminar organized by the Ruderman Family Foundation meant to help us understand the diverse Jewish community.
We met two kinds of Jews. One group I would define as "classic Jews" — warmhearted Americans whose loyalty to Israel is unwavering, who believe the state of Israel is the national home of the Jewish people, who consider Israel's scenic desert in the south and northern parks to be more fascinating than the Grand Canyon or Yosemite Park, and for whom the sight of Israeli soldiers in uniforms brings tears to their eyes. The classic Jews love Israel and Israelis, and if they have criticism of the Israeli government's policies or are offended sometimes by the arrogance with which some Israelis treat them, they will not let anyone know. They are loyal Americans with an extra Israeli soul.
The other type are Jews whose Jewishness is an important component of their identity and personality, but it is not necessarily related to Israel. Israel is more important to some, less to others and to still others, not at all. Community, peoplehood, even support for Israel is decided upon by the individual Jew.
Although I knew that U.S. Jewry is no longer a homogenous community, and that the consensus about Israel's direction is coming undone even among its supporters in the United States, it was interesting and surprising to discover just how much people living in Israel do not understand what is going on with their brothers and sisters in the Diaspora.
For most Israelis, American Jews are the same as those who were living in America after the victory in the 1967 Six-Day War or the Yom Kippur War in 1973. I personally feel that U.S. Jewry "has our back" when necessary, especially if Israel's security is threatened. But I also understand that if, for example, the government of Israel decided to attack Iran in opposition to the U.S. administration, I'm not sure that U.S. Jewry would have Israel's back in the same manner.
What impressed me most were the social activists we met, people who volunteer and head large organizations, who attribute their humanitarian work to their Jewish upbringing and core Jewish values. Certainly in Israel this exists, especially in religious circles where gemilut chasidim (acts of kindness) and tzedakah (charity) are emphasized.
But these Jews see their work in Africa or South America as a direct result of the words in the Torah that every person is created in the image of God. Their work is the clearest expression of their Judaism.
As the seminar progressed, it was apparent that Israel's treatment of American Jews remains stuck somewhere between 1967 and 1973, while American Jewry has spread its wings and evolved.
The Ruderman Family Foundation seminar is a drop in the ocean, trying to connect the two worlds and understand each other; even Birthright Israel is insufficient in bridging this ocean.
I want to propose a model that can help bridge the gap. If tikkun olam is the way to the hearts of young Jews, Israel should generate opportunities for Diaspora Jews who are seeking self-realization via humanitarian activities. Israel could create a center that would send young Jews on social missions around the world. This could attract young Jews, who otherwise may have no interest, to come to Israel and join programs that already exist around the world or in their country of origin.
What a wonderful contribution to the world it would be if Israel were to become a beacon of humanitarianism. More importantly, it could help bridge the gap with those who no longer view Israel as central to their Jewishness.

Here's mine:
Patrick Ness' latest book was recommended by a friend who shares similar reading interests. Once started it is difficult not to put down. The novel kept a fast pace and was not predictable. I was curious to know how the novel was going to progress and especially the ending. After the strange ending I had to go back and re-read previous chapters to confirm the reasoning behind the final chapter. I look forward to reading some of Patrick's previous novels.
Lee Child has written eighteen Jack Reacher novels of the life and escapades of a retired USA military police colonel. His way of life is intriguing and especially how he manages to remain hidden from Big Brother. His travels across America, usually by bus or hitch-hiking always lands him in trouble that is solved in his own inimitable style.
John Burdett is an English lawyer who practised for well over ten years in Hong Kong. His main character is Sonchai Jitpleecheep, a Thai policeman who spent numerous years abroad. John's in depth knowledge of the east is amazing and sheds light on the Asian different way of thinking since Somchai is half Thai and half American.
So what good books have you read?
i have read numerous books.Recently read My first Love, The Last Night, and God is one.
Can you supply more information about the books. Who is the author and why do you like the books?
1) Of heroes and tombs - Ernesto Sabato2) The map and the territory - Michel Houellebecq3) The ring is closed - Knut Hamsun
I read an interesting book last week. It is called Goat Mountain by David Vann. He writes in a very interesting style and the plot is pretty dark, but it was compelling reading.
Then I read The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith (who is actually JK Rowling). I really enjoyed it. Great characters.
Now I'm going to start on Stephen King's Under the Dome.
I've just finished reading "Mr. Standfast", by John Buchan. It's the third instalment of the Richard Hannay trilogy, which starts with "The 39 Steps." Not the sort of thing I should have been reading at bedtime, though, because I always ended up with dreams where I had to save the world single-handed against impossible odds. :lol: (This is the fourth book I've read by John Buchan, and they've all had that effect on me. :rolleyes:)
Before that, I read "The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists!" by Gideon Defoe. The plot is quite a bit different to the film version (which I loved) - darker and a bit more "adult", for want of a better word - but it's very funny and good entertainment.
Prior to that, I read "A Silent Witness" by R. Austin Freeman - a cracking whodunnit first published in 1914. A doctor finds a body, which has vanished by the time he returns to the spot with a policeman. A few weeks later, he acts as a temporary locum for another doctor and a series of attempts are made on his life. Are these things connected, and if so, how? Read it and see!
Three great books I've read recently:
The brightest star in the sky, by Marian KeyesA real feel-good book, a gently teasing look at the lives of ordinary people, with an entertaining twist. See how quickly you can work out what's going on!
Pigeon English, by Stephen KelmanOften described as this decade's "Curious incident of the dog in the night time", it's another story told from the point of view of a child, this time an immigrant in the badlands of inner city London. It is by turns touching, moving, amusing, heart warming and heart rending. Every bit as good ad TCIOTDITN, and way better than Mark Haddon's books since, I really can't recommend this book enough.
Nicholas Nickleby, by Charles DickensSome people might be surprised, but this is a hilarious book, with proper cartoon villains and genuine 'laugh out loud' moments. It can take a while to get into the style of writing if you're not used to Victorian texts, but well worth persevering with.
I read........(1) 5 Mistake of my life.(2)The memoirs of Sherlock Holmes(3)Hunger Games.
a) Just one dayb) Altered c) Walking disaster
The last three books I read comprised parts I, II and III of Joe Abercrombie's the First Law trilogy.
I liked them because they are something different - kind of like fantasy, but without this black and white, good vs evil analogy that pervades works such as Lord of the Rings.
My favourite character in the books was a wizard called Bayaz, who is like an evil version of Gandalf.All of the characters in the books are evil to a greater or lesser etent. Everybody is very self-serving and most are quite ruthless.
I can highly recommend this trilogy, as well as the next (which I have just started reading).

About VictoriaView a map of Victoria wineries
From stickies to Pinot Noir, Victoria is varied in its wines. The southernmost state of Australia, Victoria is third in wine production, after South Australia and New South Wales. The state is home to the cool-climate Yarra Valley, Yarra Valley, a producer of quality Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, as well the warmer regions of Rutherglen & Glenrowan. These two areas are hot and dusty and famous for their sweet, fortified stickies.
Notable FactsLots of coastline gives Victoria a cool climate, appropriate for growing grapes like Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Many new regions are discovering their growing potential – especially with these grapes. Inland gets warmer, and some of the best fortified wines are made here,as well as some good Shiraz. Victoria also makes the most Sparking Shiraz.
About Australia
Like the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip.

Genesis members working together on band documentary
Listen to Genesis on iHeartRadio
Genesis' early '70s lineup is back together, but not for a tour or new album.
A post on keyboardist Tony Banks Facebook page announces the development of the new documentary Genesis: Together And Apart. The post says the feature-length film is being made "with the full cooperation" of the band, and reunites Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford, Steve Hackett, and Banks "for the first time since 1975."
Post by Tony Banks.
The movie tells the group's story, from their origins in the late 1960s to their split in the late 1990s, and includes rare performance footage and never-before released material from the band's archives. A release date for the film hasn't been set yet.

Notre Dame will accept, heavily subsidize illegal immigrants
The University of Notre has announced that it will now admit illegal immigrants and give them generous amounts of money from school coffers to ease the burden of the school's annual cost for tuition, room and board of over $57,000.
Officials at the famous Catholic school in Indiana say the new illegal-immigrant friendly policy will "strengthen" the student body, reports The Washington Times.
Notre Dame had never officially prohibited admission to illegal immigrants before instituting the new measure. Under the previous rules, however, the school regarded illegal immigrants as international students and insisted that they have visas. (RELATED: Obama hides Obamacare subsidies for foreign workers, guest students)
Much like national championships for Notre Dame's storied football team, that requirement is now a relic of a bygone era.
Illegal immigrants who might have trouble paying the steep price tag at Notre Dame because they aren't eligible for the same federal financial aid available to citizens and nationals needn't worry.

Tom Petty L.A. club residency continues despite fire marshal clampdown
Listen to Tom Petty on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - The fourth club gig of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers' six-night residency at Hollywood's 1,300-capacity Henry Fonda Theater ended abruptly Saturday night, when the Fire Marshal shut the show down 45 minutes early, supposedly for being over-capacity (a claim the band steadfastly denied).
But the Heartbreakers won't back down. So the show went on when they returned to the Fonda stage on Sunday night, and no fans' hearts were broken this time.
"We had to quit a little early last night," quippedPetty. "Perhaps you heard about it? I've heard about little else today. I don't really like to assign blame when I get into an argument. But…it wasn't me!"
Petty then assured: "We are absolutely going to the end tonight."
And that they did. "We've got quite a long list of songs for you," Petty boasted. "Mostly deep tracks, but we're gonna play a few that you can sing along to as well." Later in the set, he heeded audience members' hollered requests with, "There's a million of 'em, and I'm trying to play as many as I can!"
Over the next two hours and 15 minutes, the band tore through not quite a million, but a still-impressive 20 songs, including bluesy covers of J.J. Cale's "13 Days," Willie Dixon's "I Just Wanna Make Love to You," the Byrds' "So You Wanna Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star," and Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," and a jammy rendition of the Traveling Wilburys' prophetically titled 1988 song "Tweeter and the Monkey Man." The promised "singalong" songs, meanwhile, included time-tested fan favorites like "Listen to Her Heart," "Woman in Love," "Refugee," "American Girl," and "Rebels."

In our floundering economy, hundreds of development projects have been put on hold due to a lack of funding. This week, the AIA launched Stalled Projects, an online database to help those projects find potential financers. Call it the Match.com of the built environment: the site enables architects and their clients to post information on projects in need of capital, and investors to post how much capital they're willing to inject. Nine stymied projects are already listed on the site, including a market building in Minneapolis, a green-roofed house outside Portland, Ore., and a hotel in Tampa, Fl. There are both new developments and renovations of existing structures, such as the Cooperage, a 44,000-square-foot Buffalo, N.Y. factory that was used to automate barrel-making during late-19th and early-20th centuries. Developer Newark Niagara is hoping to convert the building, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, into 20 mixed-use brick-and-beam lofts. The stabilization and site preparation is nearly completed, and there are no zoning issues. All that's missing is an investor who can front $6.6 million, 10 percent of the project's total cost.
One of the two investors that have registered on the site is Metrus Energy, a San Francisco-based firm that finances energy-efficient retrofits. Metrus is among the companies participating in the U.S. Department of Energy's Better Buildings Initiative, a plan launched in February to make the nation's commercial buildings 20 percent more energy-efficient over the next decade. The other registered financer is the Samuelson Company, based in China's Sichuan Province. Created to finance the construction of factories and facilities in China, the group now also represents Chinese clients eager to invest in U.S. projects. Both groups have $10 million in potential capital available.
The AIA made the commitment to launch the database at a June 2011 meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative dedicated to job creation. In a video on the project's homepage, AIA president Clark Manus, FAIA, says, "Despite the reluctance of traditional banks to lend, unconventional sources of financing are indeed interested."

OTTAWA (CIS) – Canadian Interuniversity Sport, in conjunction with Volleyball Canada, announced Thursday the student-athletes and staff members who will represent the country in men's volleyball at the 2013 Summer Universiade in Kazan, Russia.
Summer Universiade website: www.kazan2013.com/en
Team Canada website: http://english.cis-sic.ca/universiade/summer/2013
A total of 49 players from all over country battled for a spot on the 12-men roster over the past two months, starting with the first selection camp at the national training centre in Gatineau, Que., in early May.
In the end, the all-CIS lineup has a distinctive Western flavour with 10 members from the Canada West regional association, including four from perennial powerhouse Trinity Western University.
The TWU foursome includes left side hitters Marc Howatson of Victoria and Steven Marshall of Abbotsford, B.C., as well as middles Lucas Van Berkel of Edmonton and Daniel Jansen Van Doorn of Langley, B.C.
Rounding out the contingent are setters Jay Blankenau of Calgary and TJ Sanders of London, Ont., left sides Chris Hoag and Nicholas Hoag, both of Sherbrooke, Que., Colton de Man of Calgary and Chris Voth of Winnipeg, middle Braden McLean of Birch Hills, Sask., and libero Derek Nieroda of Headingley, Man.
Chris Hoag, who played his four-year CIS career at the University of Calgary, and younger brother Nicholas, who studies at Sherbrooke College, are the sons of former international standout and current Canadian senior national team head coach Glenn Hoag.
Three players return from the 2011 Universiade squad that competed in Shenzhen, China, including Howatson, Blankenau and Voth.
The trio also has international experience from the world junior championships, along with Van Berkel, McLean, Nicholas Hoag and Sanders, while Marshall has competed at the under-19 and under-21 Worlds in beach volleyball.
Howatson, Blankenau, Sanders and the Hoag brothers trained full-time at the Gatineau national centre this year.
Larry McKay, who has been at the helm of the University of Winnipeg program for 24 years, returns as Team Canada head coach for the second straight FISU Games.
McKay's staff is comprised of assistant coaches Steve Leknois and Tilen Kozamernik, as well as therapist Caroline Pelletier.
Leknois, who heads the Royal Military College program, also assisted McKay in Shenzhen two years ago. Kozamernik, who hails from Slovenia and is the former head coach of his country's women's national team, works alongside Glenn Hoag with Turkish national league champion Arkas.
Canada is coming off three straight outstanding performances at the Universiade men's volleyball tournament. After claiming a silver medal in 2007 in Bangkok, Thailand, the Canucks finished sixth in 2009 in Belgrade, Serbia, and barely missed the podium in 2011 in China, taking fourth place.
Prior to 2007, the Red and White's only trip to the FISU podium was another second-place finish back in 1983 in Edmonton.
In the preliminary round of the 23-team Kazan competition, the Canadian men will battle in Pool D against the United Arab Emirates (July 6), Mexico (July 7), Chile (July 8) and the Czech Republic (July 11).
Two years ago, the Czechs took seventh place with a 6-2 overall record, Mexico (2-6) was 16th and the UAE (0-6) ended up in 21st and last position. Chile did not compete in Shenzhen.
Reigning two-time Universiade champion Russia is in Pool A with South Korea, the United States, Hong Kong, Estonia and Belarus.
Defending silver medallist Ukraine plays in Pool B against Thailand, Japan, Oman, Algeria and Latvia, while 2011 bronze medallist Brazil competes in Pool C versus Switzerland, Australia, China, Poland and Macedonia.
The 2013 final is set for July 16.

Back|track giving machine guns to monkeys since 2007 !
Do not read the Wiki, most your questions will not be answered there !
Do not take a look at the: Forum Rules !
I have updates the bt 5 r3, apt-get update and dist-upgrade, so its completly updated. Regarding your answer, i really don't need to aplly any patch to the card driver? channel negative one, wl_frag+ack_v3 or injection speed?
Don't now if its importante or not, but im usint BT5 R3 x64 Gnome, on Vmware.
Best Regads
I have a problem too with BT5 R3 and the alfa awus036h usb card. I use VMWare too (VM workstation 9).
When i select my wifi card in the VMWare menu to disable it on windows and enable it on BT, it says that my card was unsuccessfully installed (driver issue).
I think we have the same problem here.
Did you find a way to solve this problem ?
Thank you so much in advance.
Ok I just solved my issue.
VMWare doesn't seem to be compatible with USB 3.0.
So if you have the same problem, just connect your alfa usb card to a USB 2.0 port (you should find at least one on your PC).
Greeting from France and happy new year even if it's late !
Bonne nuit !
As sickness said, it should work right out of the box..Some where in the forum, someone posted issues with USB 3.0, I just can't place the post, but memento just confirmed it.
Thanks memento for your contibution. I learned one more thing today.

Try playing with the timing. You may be overloading the AP, and a slower scan (e.g. using the "stealth" setting) may alleviate that.
Well yes as the title suggests I have the problem of my internet connection dropping when I initiate nmap scans on BT3 (USB) and I have no idea what could be causing it.
I am using wireless and understand that from time to time it's normal to drop off but I am almost certain it's actually Nmap causing these drop offs because it happens exactly when the scan starts, any ideas what the problem might be and how I could fix it?
Try playing with the timing. You may be overloading the AP, and a slower scan (e.g. using the "stealth" setting) may alleviate that.
Stop the TSA now! Boycott the airlines.
Okay I will try that, I think you might be onto something there because it sounds like it might be overloading of the AP because it doesn't happen with single scans really, only when I scan a few or a ranges.
One thing to remember if you're into or going into this work professionally is there are a lot of devices out there that will completely fall over if you do a full high speed port scan against them. So you need to be careful if you're doing these kinds of things where you might potentially cause damage by a device failing due to a port scan.
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
Okay well the problem is definitely arising from initiating Nmap but it's not just when I do a scan, after the first scan my Internet will drop on and off constantly and it doesn't seem to matter what type of scan it is because I have tried many types now and also limited the number of ports being probed.
It's really weird perhaps someone has some other pointers on what this might be or had this problem, let me know plz!
Wireless assistant also seems to crash with an error reporting a software issue or possible bug? don't know what this could be.
If single scans seem ok, you may have to stick to that. Or start with one port and slowly add one more at a time and see when the connection starts dropping. Then keep it under that threshold. There might not be anything wrong per-say, some APs just can't handle scanning well. So you need to adjust your methods to suit. Have you tried scanning while plugged in via cable ?. It would help to know what AP you are dealing with.
A common cause of this type of problem when port scanning is the NAT table on your router filling up. Of course this usually only applies when you are scanning a system that's on the other side of the NAT translation.
Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".
The Forum Rules, Forum FAQ and the BackTrack Wiki... learn them, love them, live them.
Hmm problem was solved when I installed BT4, I don't really know what was wrong to be honest but definitely seems like a bug or incompatability issue in BT3 rather than a type of overloading issue etc...

A.J. Ellis singled in the winning run in the bottom of the 11th inning, giving them a 4-3 victory over the San Diego Padres on Monday night for their second consecutive walk-off win. The Dodgers' last five games have been decided by two runs or less, with three wins so far this month.
''Other than getting our heart rates up, we're not making it easy on ourselves,'' Andre Ethier said. ''That feeling of knowing we can win these games late is being fortified better. It shows all the guys on this team we're not going to roll over. You got to go out there and earn it.''
The Dodgers remained 4 1/2 games behind NL West-leading San Francisco and a half-game back of St. Louis for the second wild card spot.
''We know what we're chasing,'' Ethier said. ''You can say you're not watching the scoreboard, but it's out there behind me in right field.''
Ellis got the game-ending hit off Cory Burns (0-1) after two-out singles by Ethier and Luis Cruz, who went 4 for 5 with a career-high four hits. The Dodgers' 10th walk-off win of the season leads the NL.
''It's September, now it's time to go,'' said Ellis, who had his fourth career walk-off hit. ''As long as we take care of business on our end, we'll be happy at the end of the month. A couple guys in the clubhouse called it fourth-quarter September. We just want to get in (the playoffs).''
The Dodgers celebrated a new tradition by shredding the jersey of the player with a walk-off hit, in this case Ellis, who found himself on the bottom of a dog pile.
''You're hoping to make it out healthy,'' he said.
Ethier tied the game 3-all with his 16th homer off Luke Gregerson with one out in the bottom of the ninth.
''I don't feel like I missed with that pitch or that I hung it or anything,'' Gregerson said. ''I thought I put that pitch exactly where I wanted it - right on the outside edge of the plate and at his knees, but he just went out there and got it and put a good swing on it. That shows what he can do.''
Brandon League (1-1) got the win with two innings of relief. He gave up one hit, struck out two and walked one.
Padres starter Andrew Werner allowed two runs and five hits in six innings, struck out a career-high eight and walked one in his third major league start. The left-hander got a Padres rally started in the seventh with his first big league hit, a one-out single. After Everth Cabrera flied out to center, pinch-hitter Logan Forsythe singled off the pitching hand of Dodgers lefty Randy Choate, who promptly left the game but said afterward that he wasn't hurt.
Choate was replaced by Belisario, who gave up a two-out single to Chase Headley that scored pinch-runner Clayton Richard, the scheduled starter for Wednesday's series finale, to give San Diego a 3-2 lead.
Hanley Ramirez homered - his 10th since joining the Dodgers - with two outs in the sixth on the first pitch from Werner to tie the game at 2.
Headley's 24th homer in the first gave San Diego a 2-0 lead. The Dodgers gained a run back in the fifth on Mark Ellis' RBI single that scored Cruz, who singled, was sacrificed to second and scored when catcher John Baker couldn't secure the throw from left fielder Chris Denorfia in his glove.
Dodgers starter Joe Blanton gave up three runs and seven hits in 6 2-3 innings, struck out six and walked two. He got out of a bases-loaded jam in the fourth by striking out Cabrera to end the inning.
NOTES: Padres LF Carlos Quentin was a late scratch from the lineup with right knee irritation, with Denorfia starting in his place. Quentin pinch-hit in the 11th. ... Dodgers manager Don Mattingly has set his rotation for the team's weekend games at San Francisco. RHP Josh Beckett will start Friday, followed by LHP Chris Capuano on Saturday and LHP Clayton Kershaw on Sunday. ... Olympic champion gymnasts Gabby Douglas, McKayla Maroney and Kyla Ross each threw out ceremonial first pitches, with only Maroney getting the ball to the plate on a clean throw. Later, the trio boogied on the stadium's dance cam.

Hi Lozzy, anyone would be scared in your situation but try not to spoil today by worrying about tomorrow, easy to say I know. My mum has had alzheimers over 10 years and though she remembers nothing she is still happy and positive and in denial.
People here will not judge you if you make any mistakes so don't worry about doing things right or wrong, (it really annoys me when people remind my mum of her failings, but they are just ignorant). Just come along and tell us how your day is.

Report: Iran strike to delay nuke work by 6 months (YNetNews.Com -Yedioth Internet) Ynet Published: 03.28.12, 23:31)

Effect of strike on Iran´s ability to acquire nukes ´unclear,´ US congressional report says; dispersal of Tehran´s nuclear sites would pose major difficulty for Israel, researchers say
An Israeli strike on Iran would only halt Tehran´s nuclear project by six months, a former official told US congressional researchers according to a newly released report obtained by Bloomberg.
The report says that the wide dispersal of Iran´s nuclear facilities would pose a major difficulty for Israel should it attempt to curb Tehran´s nuke program.
According to researchers, the potential effect of a military strike on Iran´s ability to acquire nuclear weapons is "unclear." Moreover, the United States and Israel cannot pinpoint all of Iran´s nuclear sites, researchers say.
The report cites a senior Israeli official who reportedly told cabinet in September 2011 that we have no ability to hit the Iranian nuclear program in a meaningful way.
Former Central Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency Director Michael Hayden is cited for asserting that "airstrikes capable of seriously setting back Irans nuclear program were beyond the capacity of Israel.
Follow-up attacks?
Given the difficulties in permanently setting back Irans nuclear program, some Israeli officials reportedly said Israel may "feel compelled to mount periodic follow-up attacks," the US report says. Addressing operational considerations for a strike, the report says that although a strike on nuclear sites in Esfahan, Natanz, and Arak "might require deploying only 20% of Israels top-line fighters purchased from the United States, it would probably require 100% of the most capable - the IAFs 25 F-15Is."
The researchers also note that Israel possesses Jericho II medium- range ballistic missiles that are capable of hitting targets within Iran.
"They could be used against above-ground targets and free up aircraft to focus on hardened targets or those less amenable to missile attack," the researchers write. "However, whether these ballistic missiles have the accuracy and capacity to destroy such targets in Iran is unclear." (Copyright 2012 © Yedioth Internet 03/28/12)

Thanks for taking the time to look at my post. I have a simple Homeserver which I use for a small group of people to keep contact with and provide updates of club events,
On one the of WEB Pages I have a Table and within the Table there is an Object statement –

 <h8>Entertainment Updates

<object data="message.txt" type="text/plain" width="966" height="74" align="middle" border="3" >
When the message.txt ( notepad file ) is updated remotely by another user the WEB page wont show the updated message until you refresh it.
I have tried using the <META HTTP-EQUIV="PRAGMA" CONTENT="NO-CACHE"> to stop pages being cached but of course if a person is already using the page they wont see the new message until they move off the page and back again.
If I use - <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5", then it works but as the page does have some images on it the whole page flickers when it updates every so many seconds it does look not so good and very annoying.
I have been looking for a Javascript code to just refresh that particular part of the WEB page table but cannot find anything suitable that seems to work. On one Forum another they say that it is impossible but on another forum a user said he already has got this working but could not remember the code......I don't want to use any Server side code as my server is really basic but does the job.
As you can tell I am not the best programmer in the world so any help would be appreciated
Thanks John
Hi there,
AFAIK, there is no way that your web page can know when a remote file is updated.What you could do however, is write a function that loads the contents of the text file into a predefined div using AJAX.You could repeat this at a predefined interval.Using AJAX would not be so heavy on the server and would avoid the ugly page flicker you described.
Here's an example:
<!DOCTYPE html>

// load text file when page loads
// Then reload it every 5 seconds, for ever ...
}, 5000);

To run this, save this code in a HTML file on your desktop. Then create a file called test.txt, write something in it and save it.Next, open the HTML document in (for example) Firefox. Don't use chrome when testing locally as it will block the XMLHttpRequest owing to its same origin policy.Make sure the text file has loaded into the HTML document as it should, then alter the text file in some way and save it again.You should see the changes appear in your web page within five seconds.
I'm not sure if this is the best way to approach things.Would be glad to hear of any other approaches.
It's a neat little solution, the only thing that could be problematic here is caching. However, I did do a quick test in Chrome and Safari and it seemed to work just fine (being served from a local Apache server).
John: If caching does present itself as a problem, amend @Pullo ;'s excellent example a tiny bit like so:
// load text file when page loads
// Then reload it every 5 seconds, for ever ...
$("#div1").load("test.txt?"+ (new Date()).getTime()); //append current timestamp
}, 30000); //consider a larger timeout unless your data updates very frequently
Hi there my good friend. The code work great locally if I just use it to test but if I place the code on my WEB server if does not refresh the txt. Just to clairify, if I run your code or put your code into my WEB page code, it will work perfect if it is just called from the local folder it is in and the message does update automatically, but not if I place it on the WEB server and call it from the WEB address. Not sure why as I have other javascript page code working fine. I guess I am missing something but have idea what it is. I do hope you can give me some Guidence as it is almost working as I want. Oh, I did realise that the WEB server does not know that the file had been updates ( in your comments ) but as long as the WEB page TXT section updates every so many seconds then I am happy with that. If you can help then I would be most grateful... Regards John
Just to check I understood correctly:The code that I supplied works locally, but when you upload it to your server, it stops working (i.e. the page doesn't automatically load changes to the text file). Is that correct?
Where on your web server have you saved the html file?Where on your web server have you saved the text file?
I'm sure we'll get this working.
Hi There my good friend.. Very strange thing, I found that in the page there was a  tag near the end of MY code which was not affected locally and after I removed that it is now working on the WEB server. Only done a quick test but I thnk YOU have cracked it. I have not yet found a way to get the txt to be shown in a Table layout to make is more obvious but maybe that can't be done but many thanks to you.
Is it really good how you professinals can help us poor relations :~) regards John
Glad you got it sorted
Just so you know, you can also have arbitrary HTML in the text file, so if you wrote, for example
Hello
, it would be interpreted as a heading in your web page.Ergo, there is nothing to stop you from marking up whatever is in the text file as a table and having it display as such.If you need any help doing this, just let me know.
Hello my friend.. I did try your extra bit of code but for some reason the date and time does not display. ( at least I think that is what it is supposed to do ). I notice there is a ? mark in the "test.txt?" Is that supposed to be there? If there is a way to show the date and time of update it would be very useful. I expect it is me who has not done something correct but it does show the updates.
I'm afraid you have misunderstood this.The ? following the file name indicates that a parameter is being passed to the file.This is quite a common occurrence on the web.If you look at the url when you reply to a question on the SitePoint forums, for example, you see something like: http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=5228177.Notice the question mark after the name of the file.
What this parameter is intended to do in your case, is to prevent browsers from caching the file, so that it always updatesThe way it works is to append a unique string after the question mark, then the browser always treats the file as a new file, even if the contents are the same.In this case AussieJohn was using a timestamp as a unique identifier.
If you wanted to display the time of the last update, this would be possible, too.
Hello Pullo yes I did misunderstand so I appolgise for that. I was so eager to get the script working I did not read it correctly
I am now having a problem with my local WEB updating again so I will have to reload everything and start again. It wil take a week between work so I will let you know how I get on . Thanks again for all your help. Regards John
Hello you clever people.. Finally got it working and in the end I did use the central part of the code from Aussie John which now works perfect. So many thnaks for taking you time and expertise to help me. Maybe the problem was the Windows Home Server Add On "Whiist" which is the WEB part of it which has some weird interaction but other javascript stuff has aways worked OK. Anyway, thanks again,, Best regards John

Mangoes contain good quantities of fiber, vitamin k, phosphorus, magnesium and iron. Research has shown that mangoes' high magnesium and potassium content to lower blood pressure significantly. A natural way to lower high blood pressure is to follow a healthy diet and to exercise.
Raised blood pressure is not a disease in itself. It is just a sign of some underlying disorder. Homeopathy offers good prognosis for cases of essential hypertension. The treatment is based upon the cause and the totality of the case.
A constitutional homoeopathic treatment will cure you permanently.
When it comes to the health of women, there is never too much one can do. The condition of amenorrhea, for instance, refers to the situation in which menstruation does not take place.
There are two kinds of amenorrhea, which are the primary form and the secondary. The primary refers to when menstruation has not begun in a girl who has reached 16 years of age. On the other hand, when a woman has secondary amenorrhea, what this means is that for over six months, menstruation has not occurred.
The reasons why primary amenorrhea may take place are quite varied. Tumours which affect the pituitary gland can cause it, as can an abnormality in the vagina or the uterus of a woman. Diseases such as polycystic ovary also have the potential to lead to amenorrhea. For secondary amenorrhea, a bad diet, stress and pregnancy can lead to it. But what can be done about it?
Treating Amenorrhea with Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a truly amazing field of medicine and it is so great that it can treat amenorrhea, as well. One of the many good things about making the right choice of a homeopathic treatment plan is that it is highly customizable, according to the case at hand.
There is no one medicine which is prescribed by homeopathy for amenorrhea, which correspond to the various causes of the condition. So, it can be understood why homeopathic medicine is customizable as it proves to be in the case of treating amenorrhea, as well.
There are a variety of homeopathic medicines which can be taken for amenorrhea. That being said, it is important to keep in mind the fact that these medicines should only be made use of after a qualified homeopathic doctor has checked the patient and approved of the medicine. For mothers who have not experienced menses after they started breastfeeding their babies, Sepia is the medicine which is usually recommended. In a similar way, Pinus lamb is recommended for women whose menses are delayed. While these happen to be a couple of very specific or niche medicines, a general medicine for amenorrhea is Pulsatilla. In fact, it is widely considered by doctors to be very effective.
When amenorrhea is caused on account of the suppression of menses due to a tumour which is present in the ovaries, most allopathic doctors would be very worried. However, homeopathic doctors would know that there is a solution designed for this very situation, which is known as Apis Mel.
Now that it is known that amenorrhea has not only a cure, but rather, multiple cures; the cause for worry is not really warranted!

Good breast health is very necessary for a woman to avoid the risks of getting breast diseases, most particularly breast cancer. But there are some common mistakes most women make without knowing that they contribute to the threats of breast diseases. Read on to know which common habits may be bad for your breast health and what lifestyle alterations you can make to avoid them.
1. Not taking requisite care of your breasts with increasing age
The chances of developing diseases like breast cancer increase with age, especially as you enter the 40s and 50s. Most women don't consider their chronological age with requisite seriousness and this can expose them to higher risks of breast diseases. As you hit 40, you should sincerely make it a habit to get regular clinical exams to maintain proper breast health.
2. Not considering an annual mammogram
An x-ray of the breasts is known as a mammogram which is usually performed to detect premature symptoms of breast cancer. Studies reveal that a large number of women do not consider getting an annual mammogram done even after the age of 40. Experts are of the opinion that this can be threatening to your breast health as a delay of even a few months can result in developed and undetected breast cancer symptoms. So, it is recommended that after entering your 40s get a mammogram done after every year.
3. Not keeping track of your weight
According to researchers, women who have bmi (body mass index) more than 25 are considered obese and have greater chances of developing breast diseases in comparison to women having a balanced weight. The risk rises due to increase in the formation of oestrogen caused by the greater number of fat cells. Increased level of oestrogen is responsible for the growth of 'hormone-receptor-positive' type of breast cancer. You should try to eat healthy and regularly monitor your weight to avoid obesity.
4. Avoiding exercise
Avoiding exercise can have adverse effects on your breast health. Studies prove that women who exercise for about 4 to 7 hours every week have lower chances of developing breast diseases. This is due to the fact that regular workout ensures limited blood levels of the hormone 'insulin growth factor' which significantly influences the growth and behaviour of breast cells. So, start exercising from today to stay fit and maintain proper breast health.
5. Drinking too much alcohol
Regular consumption of alcohol increases risks of breast cancer as it causes damage to the DNA in cells. Moreover, it raises levels of oestrogen and other hormones responsible for triggering 'hormone-receptor-positive' breast cancer. You can avoid this risk by keeping your alcohol consumption to moderate levels and reserved for special occasions.
6. Exposing yourself to too many chemicals in the form of cosmetics
Most women use too many cosmetic products containing certain chemicals that increase their chances of developing breast diseases. This happens because often these chemicals tend to disturb the hormonal balance of the body by mimicking or blocking certain hormones.

Local governments go green in Nepal
Nepal is a country of astonishing natural beauty and cultural diversity. Its natural resources — forest, rivers, mineral resources and fertile soils — are the lifeline of 90 percent of Nepal's population and account for over 40 percent of the country's GDP. For decades, the isolation of Nepal has helped to maintain the pristine nature of this environment.
However, over the last few decades, Nepal's natural capital has been degrading rapidly. Soil erosion, the loss of biodiversity, shortage of water and changing weather are affecting food production, income and the environmental security of Nepal's growing population.
This environmental degradation is especially affecting the poor.
- With natural resources that provide a livelihood for the majority of its population, Nepal is particularly vulnerable to environmental degradation.
- Local governments in Nepal, with the help of the Poverty Environment Initiative, are promoting green development and sustainable agricultural practices.
- PEI supports the government of Nepal to conduct training for local government planning officials to design energy-efficient, sustainable infrastructure.
"Water is decreasing because of deforestation above the water source," one woman explains. "We are having big difficulties to farm now that the water source is depleting. And we are suffering collecting drinking water."
These challenges have pushed local governments to encourage more sustainable development. Thanks to a financial scheme that provides bigger budgets to local administrations excelling in sustainability — and thanks to the media's work to promote a greener development path — a number of local governments have launched multiple pioneering initiatives.
Dhading District Development Committee and Rupandei District Development Committee are part of the local governments that have increased funds allocated to green development, subsidizing bio-gas and solar panel installations, and promoting sustainable agricultural practices.
The Poverty-Environment Initiative, a joint program of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) works with Nepal's National Planning Commission and the Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development to support the greening efforts of Dhading and Rupandei districts.
PEI works to ensure that both Environmental Impact Assessments and Initial Environmental Examinations are conducted during projects like road construction or the extraction of sand, gravel and stones. This ensures that activities do not harm key ecosystems and that they employ local labor.
Moreover, PEI supports government of Nepal to conduct training for local government planning officials. The aim is to design sustainable infrastructure, climate change adaptation and mitigation interventions, energy efficient solutions and organic farming.
Pramila Dallakoti, 27, is a social mobilizer of Jogimara Village committee of Dhadding district. She works to ensure that communities adopt new technologies and practices such as bioengineering, energy-efficient cooking stoves, bio-gas or sustainable road construction methods and understand their benefits.
"We work with communities to promote this kind of integrated farming," Dallakoti says. "This organic plantation is both good for health and reducing the risk of landslides downhill, where the town is. It gave locals livelihood opportunities and employment."
The work of the Nepalese local governments to achieve a more sustainable development path is already having a great impact on rural people's livelihoods.
For Arjun Kumari Mala, starting to use bio-gas and organic farming changed her life and the lives of her five children.
"Bio-gas, as well as improved cooking stoves, helped us reducing firewood consumption," she says. "Now we are safe from smoke and dust and from contracting respiratory diseases like bronchitis or pneumonia."

Marvin Kirchhöfer (18, Leipzig, Lotus) salvaged a difficult Formel ADAC weekend at the Red Bull Ring in Austria with a win in the third and final race. It was the fourth victory for the ADAC Sports Foundation protégé in his debut year in the junior series. The 18-year-old has now made nine podium appearances and also ensured the sixth win for Lotus in 2012. "Many thanks to my team - the car ran really well - they have supported me fantastically well after a tough Saturday and boosted me up," he said.
Jeffrey Schmidt (18, Switzerland, Lotus) was involved in a prolonged battle over several laps with team-mate Indy Dontje (19, Netherlands, Lotus), Beitske Visser (17, Netherlands, Lotus) and Kuba Dalewski (16, Poland, Lotus). Ultimately, the Swiss driver prevailed to cross the line in seventh position; Visser and Dalewski failed to complete the race after a collision, while Dontje came home in P10 to claim the final championship point behind Luca Caspari (16, Meerbusch, Mücke Motorsport) and Nicolas Beer (16, Denmark, HS Engineering).
Marvin Kirchhöfer, Winner: "It's just brilliant to notch up another victory. Many thanks to my team - the car ran really well - they have supported me fantastically well after a tough Saturday and boosted me up. I used the first lap to build up a lead on the opposition from the very start. After that, I was able to control the race from the front, pulling away from the field with every lap. So the weekend has drawn to a satisfactory conclusion after a rocky start."

The simplest way to decorate the cookies is to use tube icing – it comes already colored. While you can buy tips for tube icing to make stars, outline, write or make other decorations, you can also just squirt it onto the cookie and spread the icing out to cover (that would be the simplest!) Then, if you want to add some detail to the cookies, use candy. Mini or regular candy-coated chocolate pieces, chocolate chips, gum drops and licorice make decorating easy.
