in a console, type:
xrandr -s 1024x768
replace 1024x768 with the resolution you need.
Hello this is my first post on this forum.
I just installed BT5 on a VirtualBox VM. Now I am not new with Linux neither with Debian/Ubuntu. But I am having a hard time to figure this one out so I need your help.
By default when you install Linux, almost any flavor on Virtual Box the resolution is always set to 800; and when you press ctlr+f to enter full view mode. The same only displays the window with the resolution after mentioned.
In any favor of Linux you can change the monitor type to reflect a LCD display than then this allows you to change the resolution size for your monitor. You can't change the resolution to a higher density without having a monitor that supports it.
Can anyone help me on this, how can I on BT5 change the monitor type to other than the default so I can change the resolution size to a bigger viewing size.
I am struggling with this and I need your help.
in a console, type:
xrandr -s 1024x768
replace 1024x768 with the resolution you need.
The best information security training, period.
I am having the same issue
Did you guys install Guest Additions / VMware Tools ? If not I suggest you read the Wiki.
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 !
Will the same apply to a hard drive install of BT5?
My monitor wont' let me go higher than 1024x768 and it makes my eyeballs bleed.
If you already installed Guest Additions and cannot change the screen resolution from 1024x768 or one that fits your current display, you will find the next instruction very handy.
1) Terminate Xorg session by logging out.
2) Since Ubuntu 10.10 does not use xorg.conf file by default, you need to generate one. So, from the CLI type "X -configure". This will create a xorg.conf.new file with your current hardware specifications. See documentation if you need further details.
3) Copy the recent generated xorg.conf file to /etc/X11/ directory.
cp xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
4) Edit the xorg.conf file with your preferred text editor.

"Adam got down on his knee and asked me to marry him. Before I could say a word, I began to cry and my knees gave out. Obviously, I said, "Yes!" "
On a random November evening in 2009, Adam and I sunk into our respective couches, broke out our respective glasses of wine, turned on our computers, and went to JDate.com. Suddenly, an Instant Message popped up on my computer screen from 'Ageiger83.'
"Hi," the message read. After some back and forth Internet flirtation, Adam took a shot in the dark and asked 'FLprincess82' out for an "adult beverage" at a bar called Delores, but you can call me Lolita. I curiously accepted.
The date was set for Friday night at 8:30 PM. Adam arrived early and picked a table with a clear view of the entrance. I arrived a short while later and (from what Adam says) immediately caught his eye. 8:30 PM turned into 11-something very quickly. Adam told me his life story and I told Adam bits and pieces of my history.
Before we knew it, November 20, 2009 turned into May 13, 2011, where we found ourselves in the public gardens of Boston, Massachusetts on a brilliantly sunny day. There we were (in what has come to be our favorite get-away city) next to a pond with swimming swans. Surrounded by gorgeous trees with flowers hanging from branches, we stood next to several brilliantly purple tulips. Adam got down on his knee and asked me to marry him. Before I could say a word, I began to cry and my knees gave out. Obviously, I said, "Yes!"

Norovirus, the same viral bug that sickened more than 200 people attending a cheerleading competition at Comcast Arena last year, is now the leading cause of tummy and intestinal illness among children four and under.
The virus, which causes vomiting and diarrhea, is so common and widespread that one in six children age four or younger will be treated in clinics for norovirus, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. An estimated one in 14 children in this age group will be treated at an emergency room for the infection.
"The message that norovirus has been increasing, especially among those under age five is disturbing," said Dr. Gary Goldbaum, health officer for the Snohomish Health District. "Those are the ones that get sick enough to end up in the doctor's office."
Although the disease can cause short-term, but very uncomfortable, problems for people of any age, it is of extra concern among the very young, he said. "They don't tolerate getting dehydrated very well," he said.
For some of the same reasons, norovirus can be a problem with older adults. Last year, 10 outbreaks of suspected norovirus were reported in facilities that care for the elderly, such as adult family homes and nursing homes, Goldbaum said.
Norovirus is sometimes called cruise ship disease because of outbreaks that move rapidly on such ships, sickening many people.
The virus "hits people really hard and then in a couple days, it gets better," Goldbaum said.
Each year, noroviruses sickens more than 21 million people in the United Stats and approximately 800 people die, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
Patients have been coming to area medical clinics with norovirus symptoms almost continuously for the past several months, said Dr. Yuan-Po Tu, who helps track communicable diseases at The Everett Clinic.
"It's not an epidemic, but there's always some level of it going around," he said.
The virus typically sickens people for two to seven days, he said, often causing only a slight fever of 99 to 100.5 degrees.
Norovirus is extremely contagious. People near a person when they become ill can easily become infected themselves, Goldbaum said.
Those who are sickened by norovirus are contagious from the moment they begin feeling ill to at least three days and as much as two weeks after they recover, according to federal health officials.
The steps to help stop its spread include careful hand washing and not sharing food or drinks with someone who is ill.
The disease was blamed with sickening 229 teens and adults who were attending a cheerleading competition at Comcast Arena in February last year. Thirty-three people sought medical care for severe vomiting and diarrhea.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
One of the hardest things to do when you're sick is to put on pants. When your fever is skyrocketing, every second feels like baby beavers have formed a dam in the part of your body that allows happiness to flow. You just have to make it to Black Swan, where you will discover Gabe Sanchez's hot toddy, aka healing elixir, is worth the effort of getting dressed. Apply this lemon-, honey- and clove-infused bourbon to what ails you as you listen to the bartender's Vegas stories. (They're all good.)
"I would like to do an in-your-face Texas concept," Stephan Pyles said when he was interviewed in the Observer about the state of Dallas dining in 2010. "Maybe it's a little Disneyland-like." Pyles lamented the lack of "Texas" in local Texas cooking and suggested that Dallas chefs had gotten off track. As he spoke he was sowing the seeds for his latest restaurant, Stampede 66, which delivers Texas custom tailored to downtown Dallas with the volume turned up to 10. From the color-shifting lights and quirky artistic sculpture to the images of cowboys branding calves, and the wall-mounted longhorns, Stampede 66 is as in-your-mug as it gets. If there's one restaurant to take an out of town guest to show them everything Dallas is about, Pyles' latest creation is it.
Barbecue is a humble art, and there's something special about brisket procured from a barbecue shack on the side of the road. Trouble is, most of the ramshackle joints across Texas don't serve very good smoked meats — that is until Travis and Donna Mayes first fired up their brick smoker in 2009. They've been serving up exceptional barbecue in this modest, smoke-stained building ever since. And it's the best "shack" barbecue you'll find around. The menu is hand-painted on the brick exterior next to the take-out window, and parked cars compete with massive piles of wood for real estate. There's no pretension here, and there's no seating either. All you get is smoky, tender brisket, ribs that pull from the bone. The smoky understand that this is precisely how barbecue was meant to be experienced.
You're finally up to order at Lockhart and despite how much time you spent in line you still haven't figured out what you want to eat. So you ask the guy taking orders because he works here and his epic beard conveys a lot of authority about meat. He tells you that if you're going to try anything today it should be the special, turkey breast, and your first impulse is to think that's absurd — you came for barbecue, after all, and barbecued turkey just sounds like a waste of good sides. But you know it would be rude to not take his suggestion, and he still has that authority-commanding beard. And thank God you listened to him. After that first spicy, tangy, juicy bite and the decadent blue cheese coleslaw you can't believe that for a moment you doubted that guy or his beard.
Get it? Because you smoke barbecue slowly, and ... OK, you get it. Fortunately, the meat is even better than the innuendo, with brisket that can be falling-apart tender and smoky, great sausages and ribs, and daily specials that can be hit-or-miss but always creative. Also noteworthy for those who aren't solely focused on the meat, the sides — often an afterthought at great Texas barbecue joints — are outstanding: green-bean casserole that doesn't come from a can, dessert-like sweet potatoes and even hush puppies. The meat alone puts this place among Dallas' best barbecue restaurants, and the quality side dishes make it one of our favorite restaurants period. Huh huh, we said "period."
It looks like a hot dog, even though it's too long and too skinny. It smells like a hot dog too. But as soon as your teeth snap through the casing on a Post Oak Red Hot, you're bathed in endorphin rush that's transformative. It's as if all your childhood memories — the dog your old man bought you at your first baseball game, the wiener you grilled on a stick at camp — are simultaneously unlocked in your cerebellum to set off a hot dog euphoria. The link is a perfect example of pedestrian charcuterie, and creator Brian Luscher adorns it with handcrafted condiments that only enhance the magic. Spicy mustard, pickled peppers and cucumbers, onions and tomatoes are all nestled in a pillow-soft bun speckled with poppy seeds. The only rub is you have to hit the White Rock Farmer's Market to get one until Luscher's opens in East Dallas late this fall.

Skin Repair, Regeneration and Pigmentation
Reviewed July 7, 2016
Research Areas
This program consists of two components: 1) Epidermal Repair and Regeneration; 2) Melanocyte Biology. Basic, translational and clinical studies of these two areas of research are covered by this program.
Aspects of keratinocyte behavior during the wound healing process (e.g., proliferation, migration, cytokine response and regulation) comprise a major part of this program. Basic studies of the normal and abnormal epithelial wound healing process are another focus of the program. The program also contains translational and clinical studies on treating chronic wound, ranging from animal model creation, devise testing and clinical trials. The program also reflects an increasing use of epithelial and mesenchymal stem cells in treating chronic wound and tissue engineering, and artificial tissue/organ construction in epidermal regeneration.
The Melanocyte Biology component includes studies of normal melanocyte development, differentiation, maintenance, regulation and the pigmentation process of skin and its appendages. An emerging area of research is melanocyte stem cell identification and its regulation. In general, melanoma studies (i.e., tumorigenesis, metastasis and treatment) are not part of the NIAMS Melanocyte Biology Program. However, studies concerning the prevention of melanocyte tumorigenesis are considered within the mission of the program. Autoimmunity caused pigmentation deficiency is considered in the NIAMS Skin Immunity Program, and is not included in the Melanocyte Biology Program.

Rice gave the Ravens the lead with his 2-yard touchdown run in the first quarter and finished with 70 total yards on 22 touches in the 28-13 victory over the Patriots. Former Scarlet Knights Devin McCourty and Justin Francis combined for 10 tackles in a losing effort for New England.
Former defensive lineman Alex Silvestro will also represent the Baltimore Ravens. Silvestro, who suited up for the Patriots in last year's Super Bowl, is a member of the Ravens' practice squad.
Joining his AFC former classmates in the Super Bowl is San Francisco 49ers starting right tackle Anthony Davis. The earliest NFL draft pick in Rutgers history, Davis will start in the Super Bowl in his third year as a professional football player.
A Piscataway Township High School product, Davis helped pave the way for a 17-point comeback in the victory. San Francisco ran for 149 yards behind Davis and the offensive line.

Austin, Texas Whole Foods Market Tuesday announced a comprehensive energy commitment that more than triples the number of stores with solar panels, extending its commitment to offset 100% of its use of non-renewable electricity with wind energy, and investing in energy-reduction opportunities while retrofitting existing stores with energy-efficient lighting, equipment and mechanical components.
"Whole Foods Market is thrilled to set the environmental bar even higher by pioneering the development and deployment of alternative energy sources such as solar and wind power," said Lee Matecko, Whole Foods Market, global VP construction and store development. "We are also reducing energy consumption in new and existing stores with some exciting innovative technologies that are making a real difference."
Whole Foods Market recently contracted to add solar to more than 20 locations, including existing installations, bringing solar to the rooftops of more than 30 of the company's stores nationwide. Including potential future rollout phases, Whole Foods Market hopes to have close to 70 total locations with rooftop solar panels, close to one-fourth of the company's total number of stores.

It's that time of year when we ask you what it is that we do well and what things you think we could do better.We'd appreciate it if you'd take 5 minutes to fill out our Reader Survey.
If you do, you'll even go into the draw to win an iPad!
Take the survey here.
No radio button for other on *4
Started the survey but as last year it is for profesionals and so I gave up at *5
It takes me to the "Thanks for completing this survey." page immediately?I guess you already published it on FB 1 or 2 weeks ago? I vaguely remember something...
heh I don't read newsletters.
I hope people representing businesses take the survey, because I suspect they get a lot of value from the SP sites by helping educate their own devs.
It all worked fine for me, except that there was an strange popup on each page saying there was an error. No doubt a Survey Monkey problem, but still, could turn some folks away.
It worked OK for me. :)
Well I tried but couldn't get beyond page 1 - it wouldn't allow me to not select any newsletters, and although I entered an "other" occupation, there didn't seem to be an associated radio button so it thought I hadn't answered that question either. Oh well, I don't really want an iPad anyway...
I've had the newsletters question sorted - it shouldn't be compulsory.
I had no problems at all.
Survey completed - when's the closing date?
question 4, would not accept my "other" answer
question 10, would not accept no answer, so i checked them all
Just worked as expected. Chrome Version 23.0.1271.64 m, Win32

He hasn't even spent a week on the job, yet New York Jets newly hired general manager John Idzik is already putting out fires. Reports surfaced late Wednesday night that Woody Johnson was amenable to trading superstar cornerback Darrelle Revis because he's not optimistic that the two sides can reach a long-term agreement. Revis has already staged two contract holdouts over the past four seasons which developed into month-long soap-operas and created a source of tension between New York's front office and Revis' camp.
"One of our first steps is to go through our roster in detail," noted Idzik at Thursday's introductory press conference. "That includes (Darrelle), that includes everybody on the roster. Then develop a comprehensive plan off of that. But it's still a little bit premature to say."
As the Jets approach salary cap hell, Idzik's personnel skills and financial background will be put to the test early and often. Following two straight seasons finishing on the outside of the playoff picture looking in, the Jets brass is out with the old and in with the new; conducting a complete overhaul of their assistant coaching staff with a litany of roster moves expected in the weeks and months to follow. While Rex Ryan was given a vote of confidence by Johnson, Idzik also gave a resounding endorsement for Gang Green's bombastic and charismatic head man.
"I look at Rex Ryan as a very accomplished coach," noted Idzik. "He's very energetic. He's optimistic. He's engaging as we all know. He engages our players and he gets them to play hard. I can speak to that from the opponents' side. I look forward to our time together. I really do. I'm excited about it, so that, to me, was a plus."
Attempting to shed the 'circus' label earned over the past two seasons, Idzik is adamant that the public's perception of the Jets organization is far different from the reality of the situation.
"The entire building showed up to shake my hand," said Idzik of his first day reporting to the Atlantic Health Training Center. "That's pretty impressive that people go out of their way to introduce themselves to me and make me feel at home. When I sense that, I don't look at it as repair. I look at it as fostering what we have here. We have a good group of people here. They're good at what they do and it's up to me and everybody here to join together. That's the sense I get. I don't sense dysfunction or anything like that. "
Heading into the 2013 season the Jets need to resolve their quarterback situation and determine whether Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow will have a role moving forward. Idzik failed to shed any light on the future of both embattled signal-callers, but iterated the need for competition at every position on the roster.
"I think what you do is you push the envelope, as far as competition, and you make sure you're doing the best you can to improve every day," said Idzik. "The byproduct of that is sustainable success. A byproduct of that is winning football games, going into the post season and eventually bringing championships back to New York."

Sport and pregnancy
Having gained a lot of weight during my previous pregnancies I totally decided to do sport during next pregnancy. But what sport is good and safe for pregnancy? I'm thinking about yoga and swiming. And what about you? Do you have experience of doing sport during pregnancy?

Hi Teddy Bear!
Exercise during pregnancy is great. The golden rule is to not start a new type of exercise or sport during pregnancy without first checking with your midwife or doctor. If you decide on something like Yoga go for a class (or a DVD) specifically for pregnant women, or an instructor knowledgeable about modifying conventional Yoga exercises for pregnancy. I did Yoga during my last pregnancy and found it great.
Here is a great article on the subject: Exercise in Pregnancy Regular exercise is also recommended as part of good preconception care. You can read more about it here: Planning for Pregnancy: Preconception Care
Happy exercising!

The economic forecast for the construction industry is gloomy. But get past the short-term period, and you'll find the long-term view much more favorable.
Construction industry economic experts who addressed the CONCRETE PRODUCER's Economic Summit Luncheon offered a gloomy forecast of the concrete industry's prospects over the next year or two, but agreed that long-term demographic trends are favorable.
The event at World of Concrete featured Ed Sullivan, chief economist with the Portland Cement Association; Jonathan Dienhart, director of published research with Hanley Wood Market Intelligence; and Pierre Villere, president of event sponsor Allen-Villere Partners.
Sullivan predicts a severe retrenchment, with demand for concrete weakening just as substantially increased production capacity comes online. He expects that it may be the third quarter of 2009 before the recovery begins in earnest.
Meanwhile, for the rest of this year and the first half of 2009, Sullivan predicts declines in both the commercial and public construction sectors that have so far helped temper the severe residential downturn of the past year.
This is merely a painful part of the business cycle, payback for the excesses of the previous boom. But Sullivan also emphasized that long-term population trends will lead to growth in construction spending and that long-term cement consumption will grow. He urged attendees to add an extra dose of conservatism to their business plans for the next year or two.
Excess housing
"Batten down the hatches," Dienhart advised. He described a housing market that has been disconnected from its traditional drivers for the last few years, with inventories growing as population and job growth declined. The current excess housing inventory of 750,000 units (a nine-month supply assuming no new construction) must be sold before the mortgage market can stabilize and the housing market can recover.
Villere focused on longer-term and far rosier prospects in 2030 and beyond. His presentation drew strongly on a 2005 report by the Brookings Institute called "Toward a New Metropolis: The Opportunity to Rebuild America," whose conclusions are driven by projections of the U.S. Census Bureau. Population and other demographic trends will drive greatly increased demand. By 2030, one-half of all buildings in the U.S. will have been constructed after the year 2000.
Villere also anticipates continued consolidation among concrete producers, with the top 25 producers in the U.S representing 80% of the market by 2015. Of those, the top 10 will represent more than 50% of production.
He foresees significant improvements in fleet efficiency, significant impacts from technological advancements, and more sophisticated marketing that will play a key role in growing the industry. Permitting and compliance will become even more daunting factors for producers in the future, and human resources will continue to be a challenge.
Someone in the audience asked Sullivan if the concrete industry has any advantages that could help it prevail over competitors during a recession. His reply was less encouraging than attendees might have hoped.
Concrete offers theoretical advantages that are likely to be overshadowed during a recession. Sullivan pointed to the paving market, where concrete's lower long-term, lifecycle cost is an advantage. But in the short-term, DOTs faced with lower revenues are likely to find the lower initial costs of asphalt quite attractive.

Texas principal who banned Spanish loses job
(NEWSER) – A middle school principal near Houston who banned the speaking of Spanish on school grounds is out of a job, reports KHOU. The Hempstead School Board on Monday chose not to renew the contract of Amy Lacey, who set off a local firestorm on Nov. 12 when she announced, over the intercom, that her school would no longer tolerate kids speaking Spanish; she was placed on paid leave the following month. About half of the school's students are Hispanic, and Waller County has one of the state's fastest-growing populations of Hispanic residents, reports the Houston Chronicle.

You could try booting from from USB or you could try creating a BT disc at low speed (1x or 2x).
I'm currently using an older (vista era) Gateway ML3109 with 2GB of ram.
At one point I was successfully dual-booting Windows 7 Ultimate and BT4-final.
I had overwritten my BT4 partition with Ubuntu for a project I was working on, and was hoping (when BT5 came out) to format the whole machine and just have BT5 running.
Currently I'm having issues loading into the live environment for BT4 OR BT5. The sequence locks up somewhere around:
[drm] Initialized radeon 2.9.0 20080528 for 0000:01:05.0 on minor 0
It occasionally locks up just before this, and sometimes it will go all the way to the Backtrack 5(or 4) background image where it would normally load into the text environment for me to startx, but it doesn't get that far. I'm not currently getting any errors, and I was successfully able to load up the BT3 live CD and install that to the hard drive. So I'm a little confused as to why this was once working and now it is not.
I have run a memtest on both sticks of ram and returned 0 errors. And I'm ASSUMING (bad idea, right?) that since I'm able to load up BT3 (or almost any other live cd) that it isn't the DVD-ROM drive either.
Any suggestions? I'd really like to get a more recent version of Backtrack running on this laptop.
You could try booting from from USB or you could try creating a BT disc at low speed (1x or 2x).
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.
I've tried the usb (unetbootin) with several different images. 3 Different version of BT4 and Both the original and R1 (in both KDE and Gnome) of BT5. I haven't tried the low speed, but I've tried the same discs with other machines and they work just fine. In fact I recently used one of them to image an older desktop of mine (older than the laptop) and it worked wonderfully. Will the lower speed cd burning make it easier for the laptop to read the disc? or were you just contemplating a bad burn?

Ocean Countess....April 2012...Norwegian Fjords: Cruise Review by EMMKAT85
Overall Member Rating
Ocean Countess....April 2012...Norwegian Fjords
Destination: Baltic Sea
Embarkation: Other
There were 5 of us, 1 not so senior citizen and 4 more senior citizens, 2 of which walked with a stick.
The Hull port was excellent, with good secure parking and bus transport to the terminal. All luggage was taken care of (we only saw it again when on board outside our cabin). The ship entry was gained by a scaffold supported gang plank, quite steep and not mentioned on the ship documentation. No other means was offered and this was a problem for our 2 less mobile travellers.
We had been upgraded..and moved from deck 4 to deck 3 with windows (this was a mistake).Yes we had two portholes, however as we had thought but had been convinced otherwise by the rep of C&M, the cabin was just adequate/old/shabby in places but kept as clean as possible, it was however VERY noisy. The crews cabins were next in line on the corridor. DONT GO ON DECK 3.
The Food was very good in both the main More restaurant and the boat house area, fresh/hot/well presented and served well. The buffet type Breakfast was very much a cattle market affair, with poor food table layouts and consequential accident/congestion and being unable to find items in good time. The bar prices were on par with home, and always served well by the crew team.
The ship facilities were VERY tired, the ship should be decommissioned asap as it is certainly not a cruise ship anymore. (unsure of any suited classification...2 star?). The crew were a very friendly and willing, it was only there attitude which made this ship work.
The cruise itinerary was very good, and the Fjords well worth visit and we spent as much time as possible viewing them. Flam was the most eye pleasing, Bergen being the best Town/City visit.
Would we go again...not on this ship, at any cost. To the Fjords maybe. Less

Is there a way to have XBMC play random trailers from the movies I have as a screen-saver?
I'm not looking for just any random trailers or new movie trailers. I'm only interested in random trailers from the ones that I have scraped for the movies I have.
If not a screen-saver it would be fine if it was just something I could turn on when I am not watching anything.
This would make my HTPC almost seem like a movie channel, and I think it would be a fun way to remember how much you like movies that you have not thought of in a while.

That is an interesting idea. I don't really know how to access the automatically scraped trailers to make a play list like that. Also is there a fast way to create a play list with 1000s of movies?
Thanks for the reply though, but does anyone else know if there is a feature or "skin" that has the feature I was talking about? I can't imagine I am the only person who has their TV on 24/7 + Christmas whether they are watching or not.
If this does not exist I think that some of you genius developers should consider it as a feature for your next awesome release.

i think the screensaver plugin should select every row where a trailer is presented in db and then take a random one out there and play it, that repeats until someone re-use xbmc (any action (except mouse move) should stop the trailer playback).
Would be nice if that script can start the next trailer like a fade so it looks seemless.

has anyone thought about this in the last while? I assume most XBMC-ers who would use this feature have large download caps and ample drive space. Frankly i would prefer to have my trailers download direct anyway.

Once again the issue is that first you would at most basic need the ability to play a video file as the screen saver which does not currently exist.

I don't think this needs (or should be a screen saver) Just look like one.
Either download (preferred) for people will good internet plans or stream for people with no drive space.
All it would be is a macro that picks a movie from your "movies folder" at random and selects play trailer. Then repeats. As long as the screen is set to show a blank or "Standby for next trailer" display while it is toggling between trailers it should look fine.
Have any of the super smart XBMC people looked into this yet? XBMC is by far the coolest thing to house guests at my place. I just want to WOW them even more, and continue to prove that XBMC has rendered Cable TV obsolete.

Yep however nothing is stopping you from launching an application over XBMC to play it back. Like say mplayer. A nasty hack though.
I had a crummy python script that listened for an announcement whenever the screensaver activated. It then executed electricsheep over xbmc. Can't seem to find it though.

I have manually created playlists of all my movie trailers that i have stored locally ... I simply opened up VLC Media Player , added the SMB:\\Share\movie-trailer.ext to the playlist - saved it as a mpu - then used winscp to transfer it to the userdata\playlists\video folder on xbmc computer.

Strong Ladies in Fiction Shouldn't Be Novelties
Joss Whedon (creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, and many more) was once asked "Why do you write such strong female characters?"
His reply?
"Because you're still asking me that question."
So, why are we still asking that question?
Lately, "strong female characters" in fiction seem to be on the rise. Hermoine Granger. Lisbeth Salander. Katara. River Tam. More recently, Katniss Everdeen and Merida from The Hunger Games and Pixar's Brave, respectively. My question is, why are these characters such a big deal? Why is it still a surprise to people that women in fiction can be action heroes, no questions asked? And furthermore, when a "weak" female character comes along (first one that comes to mind is …

This article is for those who have ever run into a telephone pole, tree, mail box, or pedestrian on foot or in their car. It is for the people who realize that their life, privileged with access to unlimited information, may be in danger of losing it. This message is for smart phone addicts.
Like leather pants or credit card debt, the life of a smart phone addict is easy to get into, but difficult to escape. Research has shown that instead of seeking to "just stop" an addiction, it is better to replace that habit with new interests, therefore expelling the old one. With smart phone addiction being a new complication in our society, studies have been conducted to find an alternative to the lack of awareness and isolation that commits so many to therapy and the hospital. In searching for a replacement addiction, I have stumbled upon a familiar habit that might prove to be a viable alternative: cigarette smoking.
This might be a shocking suggestion since our society has had some reactions to cigarettes in the past thirty years. Lawmakers and activists have directed thousands of dollars into ad campaigns that raise awareness of its dangers. New laws have been successful in making environments like bars, casinos, and alleyways more health-conscious for citizens. We are indebted to the tobacco abolitionists. But, despite these prejudices and laws, I would like to offer a few comparative examples between smart phone and tobacco addiction that might change minds and possibly save lives.
- First I want to look at addiction communities. Smokers are evicted from our clean environments, but these exiled groups generate good will when a pack of cigarettes makes its way around a smoking circle. The life of a smoker is one where sharing (a concept we all learned in Sunday school) is encouraged when someone gives a smoke to a fellow addict who is "fresh out." Smokers often keep their habit because of the accepting groups who empathize in the weakness of nicotine addiction. The smart phone addict's lifestyle is accepted everywhere, but not usually improved by tangible community. The concept of "sharing" something (in the carefully manicured spaces of Instagram and Facebook) is for improving the rhetoric of profiled lives—to filter out flaws. The representation of a normal day passes through a dream catcher of digital enhancement.
- On the subject of smoking, safety is a topic of concern. Someone will argue that a smoker endangers lives by their habit. Please don't misunderstand, I enjoy living in a society where safety and health are both top priorities, but the life of the smoker seems daring. It's bold to defy the warnings of his Excellency the Surgeon General. On the other hand, smart phone addicts conform to the trends of the world and traverse the globe without any danger to their person. Riots in the Middle East can be witnessed anytime and anywhere without feeling one explosion. A celebrities' self destruction can be watched and gossiped over without the burden of empathy.
- The argument is often made that smokers smell and their habit does not produce good hygiene. It's true that few things matter more than physical cleanliness, but smart phone addicts have a scent of their own caused from lack of social hygiene. This is sensed when a buzz or chime interrupts the flow of a good conversation and someone's presence is ignored for texting or updating. It may be that some of us are not evolved enough to fit into this staccato rhythm of human interaction. Perhaps like a bad smell someone can learn to acclimate to it.
- A regular smoker will realize that there must be time in their day for one cigarette as needed. The smart phone addict is given to constant buzzing and beeping of an electronic device. There is a notification for email, twitter, hundreds of apps, social networks, and news feeds for this new habit that suffers from severe ADD, launching the addict into the poly amorous world of the temporary.
- The smoker's head is vertical and sees the outside world. When the face looks down to light a cigarette it's illuminated by the glow of real embers. Smart phone addicts continually have their heads down, with faces glowing by the light of all worlds, except the one they're standing in.
Addiction can be deadly, no matter how you supply it. But if you're facing the choice of feeding one in your life, then please think about the next generation in your decision. When a parent commits the unpardonable sin of smoking around their kids, the smell of burnt tobacco in crib blankets and nicotine stains will be evidence that they were present in their lives. But Lord save us from the days when the faces of healthy moms and dads are only remembered as colored rectangles, censoring full attention and affection.

Art is meant, to some people, to be permanent. Politics is usually focused on the day-by-day, or even hour-by-hour, changes in the news.
So what happens when art and politics meet?
"You hope to make something that speaks to now, and 50 years from now we still will find the conversation interesting," said Joe Norman, a Salt Lake City artist whose works include political art.
Norman is one of 16 artists who contributed works to "E Pluribus Unum," an exhibit on display at Utah State University in Logan.
The exhibit's curator, Orem-based artist Namon Bills, said the exhibition was inspired "by my own frustration that nothing can get done in our national government, that our two parties were busy fighting each other."
To make the point about the need for compromise, Bills had the 16 artists randomly pair up to collaborate.
"Artists are pretty particular about their ideas and their techniques, and about what a piece needs to be and what it needs to look like," Bills said. "It can be a challenge to meld those two visions together."
The solo work Bills contributed to the exhibit, "False Dichotomy," features a table half red, half blue with a chess set on it and an 8-foot cutout photo of the Statue of Liberty. He said the work speaks to the bipolar state of partisan politics, but stressed it is open to interpretation. "It allows the viewer to come around and take the meaning they get out of it."
Considering the red/blue divide • A similar red-vs.-blue idea is at play in an installation at Salt Lake City's Utah Museum of Contemporary Art. "Your Land/My Land: Election '12" is one of seven installations staged around the country by artist Jonathan Horowitz.
The minimalist installation is set in a room that's carpeted half in blue, half in red. Two big-screen TVs descend back to back from the ceiling, with the one on the red side tuned to Fox News and the one on the blue side set on MSNBC. On one wall are written words from Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land." On the opposite wall, a portrait of President Barack Obama hangs prominently, with a similar portrait of Mitt Romney on the floor nearby. On Election Night, if Romney wins, the portraits will be switched.
Horowitz, in a phone interview, said the installation "describes the political landscape of the present, where we have a very divided electorate and a very divided media that caters to the electorate."
The two sides must confront each other in the exhibit, unlike in everyday life. "People just tend to choose one side or the other, and you sort of get stuck in your comfort zone. You look for the information you want to hear," Horowitz said. "I think the way the installation works, you can sort of get caught up in it, and you might find yourself glued to one side or the other watching TV. But you can also step back, and go back and forth between the two sides."
The installation was open during this month's vice-presidential debate and will be open on Election Night for anyone wanting a cool place to watch the results and talk about them.
"I wanted it to be activated by people and be used in a very literal sense," Horowitz said. "I was hoping that the installation would engage more people in the political process and foster discussion."
Political art of the moment • Discussion is a key motivator to making political art, Norman agreed. "I enjoy trying to make political art that tries to foster some dialogue," he said. "You put up a poster that says 'I hate Obama' or 'I hate Romney,' that's very easy. There's no discussion. It doesn't tell you anything new."
For the "E Pluribus Unum" show, Norman created a work called "Others: Thoreau, Weiwei, DeChristopher, Solzhenitsyn." It features images of four men imprisoned for being, in Norman's view, political dissidents: the writer Henry David Thoreau, jailed as a tax resister; the Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, detained last year over a tax dispute; Utah environmental protester Tim DeChristopher, now finishing out a federal sentence for disrupting a Bureau of Land Management oil-lease auction; and Russian activist and author Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, who exposed the Soviet labor-camp system.
Not all political art is meant to last, said Maria del Mar González, who teaches art history at the University of Utah.
"This whole idea of art being permanent is more of a recent thing," she said. "It's our obsession to keep these objects with us." González cites a familiar example: Shepard Fairey's iconic "Hope" poster, the red/blue portrait of then-candidate Obama. "It's very much a piece of its moment," she said.
During Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal, artists were hired to produce instructional posters. "These posters were not intended to last they were intended to educate and inform," González said. "But because these were created by artists, we become obsessed with saving them and keeping them around."
Saving such works, González said, comes with some irony. "A lot of these [New Deal] pieces are in corporate collections," she said, "and a lot of these artists were socialists."
To Bills, the main point of political art is that it's as much art as it is political.
"For me, it's really important not to be too heavy-handed in trying to hit the viewer over the head and saying, 'This is what this means,' " Bills said. "At that point, it almost becomes a political cartoon. … I would like viewers to be able to say, 'I agree with that or disagree with that.' "
Provo painter makes the news, with help from right-wing stars
Utah painter Jon McNaughton may be the state's best-selling artist right now thanks to mentions of his message-heavy works by conservative talkers such as Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck and Michelle Malkin.
The Provo-based painter (who, through a spokeswoman, declined a Salt Lake Tribune interview request) made a national splash with his 2010 painting "One Nation Under God," which depicts Jesus Christ holding the Constitution. Later works depicted President Barack Obama as an enemy to the Constitution, stepping on the document in "The Forgotten Man" and setting it ablaze in "One Nation Under Socialism."
McNaughton's politics aren't as simple as his paintings might suggest. In an interview with the website Salon in February, he espoused his belief in limited government and noted that in the painting "The Forgotten Man," he has placed George W. Bush near Obama as an indication of McNaughton's disappointment with Bush. (The painter's website includes interactive guides, which explain the meaning behind every image within his paintings.)
His work has drawn scorn in some quarters. Jerry Saltz, the art critic for New York magazine (and one of the judges on the Bravo series "Work of Art"), told a CBS reporter in March that "One Nation Under Socialism" was "bad academic derivative realism" and "typical propaganda art, drop-dead obvious in message [and] visually dead as a doornail."
But nowhere has McNaughton's work been skewered more pointedly than by Stephen Colbert on Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report."
Colbert, in his TV persona of a right-wing blowhard host, in May fake-praised "The Forgotten Man" which shows Obama with all the previous presidents behind him by calling the art "so lifelike, you can almost hear the Founding Fathers standing behind him asking, 'Who gave that slave a suit?' " And Colbert said "One Nation Under God," in which McNaughton included an array of figures including George Washington and Ronald Reagan, was "like 'Where's Waldo?,' only what you're searching for is the slightest hint of subtlety."

for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land...it
is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it's still here.
So, get out there and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder

breathe deep that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and
contemplate the precious stillness, the lovely mysterious awesome space.

Roseville, CA-November 21 at 9:54 a.m. The Roseville Fire Department responded to a report of a home fire in the 200 block of Church Street. Fire crews arrived to find smoke showing from the residence with all of the occupants safely outside. The first crew on-scene was able to quickly bring the fire under control keeping the flames from spreading throughout the home.
Multiple crews reported to the scene. A total of fifteen personnel responded. Assistance was also provided by American Medical Response. The fire was extinguished quickly and isolated to the room of origin. Once the scene is considered safe the residents will be able to return to the home, most likely in a few hours.
There were no civilian or firefighter injuries. The cause of the fire is under investigation but this unfortunate incident should act as a reminder to everyone to have properly working smoke detectors. Smoke detectors are the best warning system that can alert your family to dangerous smoke and fire in the home.

Feminism | Posted by Dinayuri R on 05/28/2012
The Freedom of Having Your Own Space and Your Own Income
The issues that Courtney Martin expresses in her article, "'You Are the NOW of Now!' The Future of (Online) Feminism", are closely related to Virginia Woolf's own theories in her book, A Room of One's Own. Martin gets straight to the point in her article as she states in her opening paragraphs, "The belief that online activism isn't 'real' or deserving of financial support isn't just an insult to entrepreneurial bloggers and organizers; it's creating a crisis in the feminist movement."
Though she was not necessarily talking about online activism through blogging or the feminist movement, Woolf would definitely agree with Martin.
In A Room of One's Own, Woolf's thesis is simply that in order for women to …

Bebe Rexha Explains Inspiration for 'I Can't Stop Drinking About You'
Photo: Getty Images
By Kathleen Perricone
Bebe Rexha may be better known for writing Eminem and Rihanna's "Monster" and singing the hook on Cash Cash's "Take Me Home," but she is commanding the spotlight now with her own single, "I Can't Stop Drinking About You," which was inspired by a former boyfriend who was still in love with his ex.
"I went to a bar one night with my friends and we went drinking and he had called me to backpedal and I told him to leave me alone and that I was drinking about him," the singer tells On Air with Ryan Seacrest. "That's how the song was inspired."
Although Bebe has not received any word from that ex about the song, she expects to soon.

description: Richard Ambrose and Jonny Phillips build their own water rockets and compete on who can reach the highest launch.

transcript:
RICHARD AMBROSE (PTC): If you wanted to travel into space you need the backing of a government and a rich government at that.  But it's all starting to change.  The 21st century is heralding the arrival of the rocketeer privateer
VO: On the 21st of June 2004 SpaceShipOne went rocketing into the history books when it became the first privately funded manned vehicle to make it into space.  It was carried to an altitude of nearly 14 kilometers by its launcher White Knight before it broke free and fired its own rocket engine.  Although it only burned for 80 seconds the rocket produced enough thrust to send the tiny craft hurtling one hundred kilometers above the Earth, to come down the wings were tilted and SpaceShipOne flew effortlessly to Earth.
JONNY PHILLIPS (PTC): Unfortunately our pockets aren't quite as deep as Richard Branston's.
RICHARD AMBROSE (SYNC - TO JONNY): Branson -Branson, mate.
JONNY (SYNC - TO RICHARD): Oh right - I thought he was the guy the made the pickle.  Anyway how much have we got?
RICHARD: 30 quid.  30 quid.  But with some creative thinking I think we can come up with something.
JONNY: Yeah - yeah - cool.
RICHARD: Yeah.
RICHARD AMBROSE (PTC): So Jonny and I have come up with a pressurized water rocket.  You can make these at home.  What you need is an air pump that supplies the pressure.   You need a bicycle valve, from an inner tube. A section of wine cork, screwed in there like that.  That's the clever bit.  A bit of water.  A stand.  And obviously the rocket which is my mini V2.
VO: Getting the ratio of water to air right is crucial.  Richard reckons a two liter bottle, filled with a third of water, should launch it to a good height.  When the cork can't withstand the air pressure any more, you have lift off.
RICHARD (SYNC): Four - five - Cor - yes.  Way.  That's 50 feet.  It's a good one.  Jonny - next one.
JONNY (SYNC):  Not bad Rich, but I think I can do better.  I've got a bigger pump and a bigger rocket.
VO:  Richard's rocket took about 80 pounds per square inch before it went off.  That's around three times the pressure of a car tire.
JONNY (SYNC):  Come on.  You could sell this as an exercise.  It's absolutely knackering.
VO:  With this bigger pump, Jonny is hoping for one hundred psi.  but there's no quick way of getting it in there.
RICHARD: Oh my God.
JONNY:  I didn't see how high it went because I was facing the other way.  But it sounded pretty good.  How was it?
RICHARD:  It was excellent.  It went rocketing off it that direction.  You probably cleared 50 feet but it went a long -
JONNY:  50 feet at an angle?
RICHARD:  Yeah - that was excellent.  But I've got something bigger than that mate.  Stand clear.
RICHARD (SYNC):  I've got a fat one and I've got a bad boy to fire it up.  Now stand back.
VO:  The compressor is providing one hundred and twenty times more pressure than Jonny's foot pump.
RICHARD:  Whoa hoo hoo.
JONNY:  Excellent.
RICHARD:  That was superb.
JONNY:  Spectacular.
RICHARD:  We're not going into outer space with this one
JONNY:  No but if we got a big enough bottle.
RICHARD:  Yep.
JONNY:  Strapped a couple of car seats to it.
RICHARD:  Yeah, I like the way you're thinking.
JONNY:  We might make the upper atmosphere.

innovative docking station
By PG
from Warsaw VA
I have been looking for a docking station for our cell phones for 2 reasons. One central docking station is so much neater and than having phones lying around to be charged. Also, it is so much easier to drop the phones in a docking station than plugging each one in their tiny chargers! Thank you for thinking of this innovative concept!
