you are posting the question in wrong section.this section is intended for HOWTO do a particular task and not for asking how to do?
Hi all,
I'm loving BT4 and now I'm choosing a virtual machine to install win and other os under BT4.
I need a suggestion:
which vm (vmware, vbox ecc.) do you suggest ? Which is the best to run inside BT4 beta?
Please report me your experience...
you are posting the question in wrong section.this section is intended for HOWTO do a particular task and not for asking how to do?
anyway, this thread could be moved, the guy needs help.
Don't post in the wrong sections!!
now, you just try for yourlsef - depends on what you need in bt, but I would recommend vbox as it's pretty free and pretty good. if you need advanced networking, virtual networks, teams, booting from usb etc - vmware. that will cost you like, 100 bucks? your choice. vbox is very fast and lightweight, on system resources, too.
i would agree with xorred, go with virtualbox. its a great tool thats simple to set up and work with. you can get the latest .deb file from their website and dpkg it.
edit: [offtopic] excellent link posted on my other thread there xorred. definatly bookmarked it. [/offtopic]
Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious...
Another vote for VirtualBox, the latest release added ALOT of nice features and it free.
I like VMware workstation since mine studying for my VCP but the price could be the deciding point.
Thanks very much for your help!
Virtualbox it's ok for me (I try it with ubuntu host and win guest).
I googled a lot and I find a lot of guide or info on how to install backtrack over vbox but no one for install vbox over bt...
Any help? Thanks!
just download the .deb and go from there. bt4 is ubuntu based.
Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious...
I also agree that Virtualbox is a good solution. I've been using Vbox since version 2.0.6.
One thing worth noting, as I didn't see it mentioned earlier in the post, the Open Source Edition (OSE) doesn't allow you to work with your USB. This is only a problem if you want to run wireless devices through your USB interface.
Instead download the PUEL (ie. Personal Use and Evaluation License) version or else go with VMWare.
This is a very interesting coversation. I now plan on installing virtual os's with vulnerabilities and practice on them. I have a usb flash drive with bt4 on it, is this a bad idea on a flash drive? Also does anyone one know where to get a vulnerable windows image that u can use (or should I just use a default install with no patches? ).
this will be interesting. i was previously using another box on my wireless network at home to play with. if I get virtual machines running on my laptop then i can work on the go away from home.

About That "Intensity Gap" On Stronger Gun Laws
A series of new polls indicate that the media was wrong to suggest that legislators who oppose strengthening guns laws would not pay a political price for their actions.
Following the Senate's failure to pass stronger gun laws earlier this month, political reporters suggested that Senate opponents of those laws had been wisely reacting to the political environment. According to those reporters, Democrats "got gun control polling wrong" [1] because while surveys indicated that an overwhelming majority of Americans supported reforms like expanding the background check system to cover more gun sales, they may not feel as passionately about the issue as their opponents and thus [2] for politicians: "Voting against gun control measures may well carry less negative political consequence than voting for them -- even though the poll numbers suggest the opposite is true."
Contrary to this theory, several polls conducted since the gun votes earlier this month indicate that more voters are likely to oppose senators who voted against stronger gun laws than they are to support them:
- Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), who voted against expanding background checks after telling [3] the mother of a victim of the Aurora theater shooting that he supported them, is now "one of the most unpopular Senators in the country," according to a poll [4] released April 29 by Public Policy Polling (PPP). This survey finds that "52% of voters say they're less likely to support Flake in a future election because of this vote [on guns], compared to only 19% who say they're more likely to."
- Alaska Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R) and Mark Begich (D), both of whom opposed the legislation, have seen declines in their approval since PPP last polled the state in February. According [4] to PPP, "39% of voters say they're less likely to vote for each of Begich and Murkowski in their next elections based on this vote [on guns], while only 22% and 26% say they're more likely to vote for Begich and Murkowski respectively because of this."
- Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH), who opposed the legislation, has seen [4] a net drop of 18 points since PPP polled his approval rating in October. According to the April poll, "36% of voters in the state say they're less likely to support Portman in a future election because of this vote [on guns] to only 19% who consider it to be a reason to support him."
- Background check legislation opponent Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV) has seen a "more modest decline" in his approval rating, but according to PPP [4], "46% say they're less likely to support Heller the next time he's up for reelection compared to only 25% who are more likely to because of this vote [on guns]."
- Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), another opponent of the legislation, has seen her approval drop a net 15 points since PPP's October poll, with the firm finding [5] that "50% of voters in the state say Ayotte's 'no' vote [on guns] will make them less likely to support her in a future election, compared to just 23% who consider it to be a positive."

2. BT2 is not designed to be a main/ general use OS.
3. Why on earth would you even suggest BT2 for them to use.
4. BT2 is OS for security PROFESSIONALS.
Just put ubuntu on there and save yourself a whole list of problems.
my first post, so apologies if this question has been asked before. A day of surfing has not as yet got me an answer.
I'm setting up a PC for a none-computer literature user. I have most of it working, I've put BT2 on the HDD of an old PC, dropped in some shell scripts to minimise typing etc. However there are two things have so far stumped me, I'm wondering if anyone can help.
1) I'm using an Edimax EW-7318USG USB adapter (this uses a Ralink RT2571W chipset and a nice external antenna). BT2 uses the RT2500 by default for this, which do not support packet injection. I have boot BT2 without the device plugged in and run a modprobe rt73, plug the USB back in enable PRISM headers etc. This all works fine and is simple enough for me but for the guy who will use it, it's rather complex. I wonder is there any way for me to get BT2 to remember the settings I've make for this?
2) I have the system starting up in X, I'd like to autostart a terminal window for each of my aircrack scripts to run in (either launched automatically or when the scripts are run) I can't seem to get this to work, is this possible?
Thanks in advance for any and all replies. I love BT2, quite superb, thanks.

Balding Parrot,
thanks for the reply, less than helpful though I appreciate all of your comments are true and valid, however you are working on an assumption, which is incorrect. I perhaps should have explained this in the post. This install has one job and one job only...a WEP crack, so the flavor of Linux is an issue for the installer (me) in terms of tools for the job, familiarity and drivers. BT2 is by far the best in this case. Basically rather than explain the whole procedure, I've installed an old P3 laptop, installed BT2, added scripts that avoid him having to hit the command line very often.
Any thoughts regarding my questions?

Roy Cummings of The Tampa Tribune lists wide receiver Kevin Ogletree as one of five players to watch during the team's mandatory minicamp this week. Cummings writes that the Bucs are "very high" on Ogletree, and that he has "flashed a lot during offseason workouts." Ogletree is vying to become Tampa Bay's No. 3 wide receiver, behind Vincent Jackson and Mike Williams. But he will face competition from incumbent Tiquan Underwood and the inexperienced trio of Chris Owusu, David Douglas and Eric Page. The Bucs signed Ogletree to a two-year contract in March.
Fantasy Analysis:
Somebody's been watching a lot of tape from the Cowboys' first game of the 2012 regular season. That fluky three-touchdown performance is the only reason I could think of as to why the Bucs would be legitimately excited about Ogletree. Unless their coaches are just spouting off hollow compliments about players to reporters, but that never happens with coaches, right? Even if Ogletree wins the No. 3 WR gig, he should be forgotten during fantasy drafts.

Carnival revelers take a break in one of Venice's countless sidewalk cafes. As European influences continue to trickle in from the north, Italy is experiencing a reinvention across its large cities. However, as home to the eternal city of Rome and some of the world's greatest art and architecture, the country still clings to the roots that have provided the region's lifeblood for centuries.

The Costiera Amalfitana, or Amalfi Coast, is widely considered Italy's most scenic stretch of coastline, a landscape of towering bluffs, pastel-hued villages, precipitous corniche roads, luxuriant gardens, and expansive vistas over turquoise waters and green-swathed mountains. Deemed by UNESCO "an outstanding example of a Mediterranean landscape, with exceptional cultural and natural scenic values," the coast was awarded a coveted spot on the World Heritage list in 1997.

Following the arrival of South American tomatoes in the early 16th century, Naples became the home of the first pizzeria, originating the idea of individual pies cooked to order. Italian foodies don't limit their toppings to simple sauce and cheese, with local favorites including the napoletana, cheese topped with capers and anchovy, or patate con rosamarino, sliced potatoes and rosemary.

Florence's Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore—popularly known as the Duomo—has been a local landmark from the moment Filippo Brunelleschi completed its record-setting dome in 1436. Taking 16 years to be fully realized, the dome holds some of the cathedral's most notable frescoes, which were painted by Giorgio Vasari in the late 16th century.

Known for its long history of earthy reds and dry whites, the Lombardy region of Italy's north is slowly growing to rival the more prominent Chianti vineyards stretching below Florence. Sharing a border with its French neighbors, Lombardy's local cuisine and vino are impacted by both French and Italian influences.

In 1471 Pope Sixtus IV donated several bronze statues to the Roman people, sparking the creation of the Capitoline Museums.

"Mr. Morton,
"I would like to take the time to acknowledge Ted Furth. Mr. Furth visited my home this past weekend to complete an install. He was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable of his work. My existing equipment was previously monitored by another company and he knew everything needed to complete his job and work around the obstacles. Mr. Furth not only removed his shoes upon entering my home (the pile of shoes at the front door alerted him that this is what my family does), but he offered to help me re-hang a back-up smoke alarm that was out of batteries and sitting off to the side. He even returned to my home a second time to make sure things were adequately working because my cable provider had not installed my telephone system properly.
"Unfortunately, I do not experience great customer service as much as I should these days; in fact, both times the cable company came out to my home, their representatives were rude, unfriendly and unknowledgeable about their work (hence the second visit). Frequently we complain about service and seldom do we commend; I wanted to take the time to commend and to let you know that my first experience with EMC Security was a pleasant one. I am happy to be a customer!

Jesse Jackson Jr., Wife Going to Prison
(NEWSER) – Jesse Jackson Jr. wept in court today, apologized for using $750,000 in campaign funds as his personal piggy bank, and then took his lumps: 30 months in federal prison and three years' probation, reports theChicago Tribune. "I am the example for the whole Congress," he said. "I understand that. I didn't separate my personal life from my political activities, and I couldn't have been more wrong." The former Illinois congressman added an unusual request: He wants to serve his time in Alabama because "I want to make it a little inconvenient for everybody to get to me."

Toby Keith & Trace Adkins salute George Jones at Stagecoach
Listen to Toby Keith on iHeartRadio | Listen to Trace Adkins on iHeartRadio | Listen to George Jones on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - George Jones died the same day that the West Coast's most prominent country music festival, Stagecoach, began. And while it would hardly be accurate to say that Jones's passing cast a huge pall over the rowdy, beer-fueled proceedings, a couple of the opening-day performers did attempt to play Possum, as it were.
Friday's headliner, Toby Keith, honored Jones's death "at 81 party-ass, no-show years old!"--with his indelicate choice of eulogistic language perhaps influenced by his being "hammered," as he put it. Keith urged the mostly twentysomething festival attendees to spend "24 or 48 hours on your way out of here" compiling their own Jones playlists, and cited "how important he was to our industry, because none of us would be here today if we didn't have four or five cats like George Jones starting it for us."
Would there be covers? Yes, there would. First Keith sang the signature Jones ballad "She Thinks I Still Care," with his female backup singers adding the properly lush country-politan touches. Speaking of "lush," Keith changed the second verse's lyrics to "She thinks I got drunk and I went to California/Where did she get such an idea?"
Then: "Let's do one more Possum song! It's about drinking!" That would be, of course, Jones's first big smash, "White Lightning," with Keith attempting some but not all of the vocal tics that made the song a novelty hit more than 50 years ago. As the band brought that barnburner to a close, Keith tipped his red solo cup to the crowd and said, "Godspeed, George. Rest in peace. You already did your part."

Ive worked with MVC for a few years now but I have always created my own framework up until I started using Silex. Silex was very similar to the framework I created and so it was easy for me to learn.
Symfony is another story. I am confused as to where to put things. For example the current version of my forum I have a class for every model (ForumModel). In that class I have different methods for getting forums (findAll). I use findAll() to return all forums to the controller and then pass this data to the view so I can iterate through them.
The findAll() method not only gets data from the DB but it also sorts the forums by parents and children,subchildren etc so I end up with a nice array. So where do I put this sorting in Symfony? Do I use the ForumEntity method findAll() and then sort through them in the controller?
public function indexAction ()
$forums = $this->getForums();
public function getForums()
// Get from database
// Format into array
// return format
Or is there some way to do this in the Entity?
For general MVC, I recommend reading From Flat PHP to Symfony2.
As for your ForumModel, the Symfony way is to split this up into a couple different classes: an entity and a repository. The ForumEntity would be just a simple PHP class. It's job is to contain data and behavior that represent the concept of a forum. Then you would also have a ForumRepository, and this is where you'd put database queries.
More info: http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/doctrine.html
The idea of sorting the forums into parents, children, subchildren, etc. isn't one that you should have to do manually. An ORM such as doctrine should give you the result as Forum objects with all the relations already established. You should be able to write something along the lines of $forum->getChildren().
Thanks for the info.
Getting the children is a little more complicated as it relies on an algorithm to define the children using a modified preorder tree traversal. So the children arent defined by a "parent id" as such.
Just out of curiousity what are the cited advantages of using modified tree traversal over straight database indexes? Is it an attempt to overcome a perceived deficiency of MySql indexes?
I think Symfony is quite different from what most PHP MVC frameworks about, it does not label itself as MVC at all.
If the Django MVC ( or MTV) is anything to go by it sounds like a public method that should go in the Forum model. Although I am not sure where this saying comes from but I've heard it said "Keep your models fat and your controllers thin" so anything that can reasonably done in the model methods should probably be done there.
[However, I wouldn't pass Request or Response objects into a model method as this leads to problems invoking these same methods outside of a Request/Response cycle. ]
I've downloaded some documentation on Doctrine to see how they do it. They seem to define an ordinary class which seems to work "magic" with code annotations. (Django does it with class inheritance to a base model class and metaclass "magic" and no annotations wheras doctrine seems to not to use inheritance at all but annotations instead.)
Oh? Why not? What are you comparing it to?

Product Overview
Years of experience have led our Technical Department to define two families of machines. SOV presses, with direct drive, are forging machines suitable for pressing parts requiring vertical extrusion.
SEO presses, working with a discontinuous cycle, have a long stroke of the ram and are suitable for forging through GE sub-press for horizontal extrusion, while SEO/*F presses are very powerful forging machines with high rigidity, suitable for both deep vertical extrusion and horizontal extrusion.
SEO presses are also available in high productivity SEO/*-CVE-CS models. These machines make it possible to change the number of strokes per minute and consequently the number of pieces produced per minute. In addition they can be run in intermittent or continuous mode.
Companies are sorted by location which can be found to the right.

Catrina Gonzalez, 18
Alexander Limon, 20
Two People Arrested After Vehicle Pursuit in Orcutt
Santa Maria - January 23rd, 2014
A wanted felon is in custody following a vehicle pursuit and crash in Orcutt early this morning, January 23. One of the passengers was apprehended and arrested as well, but the third occupant fled on foot.
At just after midnight, Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Deputies spotted a vehicle speeding southbound in the area of Bradley Road and Clark Avenue and attempted to conduct a vehicle stop. The driver, 18 year old Catrina Gonzalez of Guadalupe, refused to pull over and a short pursuit ensued. During the pursuit, Gonzalez drove over the front lawn of a residence in the 1000 block of Donald Way and hit a parked vehicle in a driveway. She then kept on driving and drove onto the lawn of another house before going off a curb at El Portal Street. The car then stopped and the three occupants inside ran off.
Gonzalez was discovered hiding in the bushes across the street and arrested. One of the passengers, 20 year old Alexander Limon of Santa Maria, was found hiding in the backyard of a residence. The third occupant was seen fleeing the area but was not located.
Gonzalez had one felony and two misdemeanor outstanding warrants. She was arrested and booked on the warrants as well as charges of Driving under the Influence, Hit and Run, Evading, and Resisting an Officer. Limon was arrested for Prowling, Resisting an Officer, and Possession of Burglary Tools. They are both in custody at the Santa Barbara County Jail and are not eligible for bail.

MU Equine Veterinarians Solve
Diagnostic Puzzle
When a yearling American quarter horse was brought to the University of Missouri Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital with what seemed to be colic, the Equine Clinic team found itself piecing together a diagnostic puzzle.
The colt had recently been shown in Texas during extremely hot conditions. Upon his return to Missouri, he began demonstrating agitated behavior, such as rolling, sweating, lying down, circling and pawing at the ground. His owners suspected that he had consumed too little water for the Texas heat and they consulted their local veterinarian. However, despite receiving five liters of mineral oil and an intravenous treatment of saline solution, the horse continued to demonstrate discomfort.
His owners transported him to the MU College of Veterinary Medicine where his condition continued to worsen. He alternated between lying down and walking in circles. His heart rate became elevated and he began having muscle spasms that would last up to 30 minutes. During the most severe episodes, his symptoms were described as seizure-like.
As the equine team continued to rule out possible causes behind the colt's distress – encephalitis, tetanus, West Nile, influenza – they turned their focus on the possibility that hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (HyPP), a genetic disease found in quarter horses and for which the horse was known to be heterozygous, was at the root of his clinical symptoms.
After several days of therapy targeting HyPP, no improvement was seen. "It was confounding," said CVM fourth-year veterinary student Ashley French, "because the treatment for HyPP was not working. There would be an episode every two hours or so. A 1,200-pound horse flailing in his stall can be very dramatic." French helped treat the colt under the direction of MU CVM Assistant Teaching Professor Alison LaCarrubba, DVM, ABVP, and intern Kirsty Husby, DVM.
As HyPP seemed less and less plausible as a diagnosis, the equine clinicians and veterinary students expanded their search for a cause to include muscle disorders and neurological diseases. However, muscle biopsies and an electromyography performed by a CVM board certified neurologist revealed no abnormalities. Further adding to the mystery – the colt's herd mates began to display similar symptoms.
Undeterred in their quest to help the young horse, they sent the muscle biopsies and a video of the horse to a muscle specialist. While the MU equine team had already performed an examination of the ailing colt's ears, the specialist recommended that a deep ear examination be performed under sedation.
Deep within the horse's ear canals the problem was found – multiple spinose ear ticks. While the ticks are rare in Missouri, they are endemic in the Southwest United States. The parasites feed in the host's ears causing pain, inflammation, convulsions and muscle spasms. They can also spread to other horses, as well as deer, big horn sheep, domestic cats, dogs and even humans.
The ticks were removed and the horse's ears were treated to kill any ticks that evaded the forceps. Back home, the colt's regular veterinarian sedated the MU patient's herd mates and discovered they too had been infected. Within 72 hours of treatment, the colt's symptoms disappeared and he was cleared to return home.
French found the unusual case so interesting she wrote a paper about it. That report, "Case Study of the Spinose Ear Tick in an HYPP Yearling American Quarter Horse" captured second place honors in the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners 21st Annual Case Report Contest. The contest is sponsored by Merial and Elanco. According to the ABVP, winning case reports include appropriate diagnostic workups, as well as medical or surgical managements, a clear demonstration of veterinary expertise, the application of sound medical principles in diagnosis and treatment, and the communication of medical observations and data in an organized manner.

One would expect Lebens to adduce evidence from other cases of state sanctions.
We could adduce many instances to corroborate this assertion.
Among many proofs that I could adduce of this, I will give one.
But it remains to us to adduce clearer evidence to show that in the Rmyaṇam Rmas is the sun, and St the dawn, or aurora.
We may adduce also as evidence of the same practice a passage in bk.
We are able now to adduce various arguments which severally prove this truth.
If you would rather have bad reasoning, I will adduce a little of it.
I need not adduce passages in the Hebrew Psalter, where such ellipsises do occur.
If, however, it will satisfy you that I adduce an illustration—Louisa Bellew was one of these.
I do not adduce it as a fair criterion of comparative excellence, nor do I even think it such; but merely as matter of fact.

I work in the evenings and so I hardly get any time to train (when I do I travel up to London). I have only been training for around a month anyway, but I feel that I am not progressing because I am not able to devote enough of my time to training.

Banks' crippling charges and switching stand-off

- Created on Tuesday, 23 August 2011 16:58
The Treasury Select Committee are pushing the Independent Commission on Banking (ICB) to press the Government into taking action to make bank charges clearer and switching between bank accounts easier. In the meantime, this triangle of pressure is causing account holders unnecessary costs and loss of choice, while the Financial Services Authority and the Treasury Select Committee argue about taking action.
This betrayal of customers' rights cuts deeper when, to a great extent, the issue of clearer information to promote fairer competition was addressed in Northern Ireland as early as 2007.

OCBC are working with Plain English Campaign in response to findings from studies about unclear financial information made in December 2010. OCBC are determined to make sure that every step of their mortgage process will be written in plain English. The first OCBC documents to receive the only internationally recognised standard for clear writing are the Home Loan mortgage application form, the letter of offer, the mortgage terms and conditions and the letter of declaration.

Well-meaning American academics are taking us a step closer to the world of George Orwell's Animal Farm, but without the author's love for plain English. US academic editors of the new 'Journal for Animal Ethics' are calling for new "animal language" that avoids using traditional terms such as 'pet' and 'wild'. Their aim is to improve relationships between humans and the wider world of animals.
Plain English Campaign receives daily complaints from the public about gobbledygook language. Some feature the documents written by academics, or the jargon of science, that is transferred into our everyday lives in public information. But so far we have not received complaints about terms such as 'beast' or 'pest', from any animal, other than the highly intelligent species at the University of Illinois.

Provo • Battling back spasms that threatened to sideline him for Wednesday's pivotal West Coast Conference showdown, Matt Carlino scored 10 points to lead BYU to a 34-27 halftime lead over Saint Mary's at the Marriott Center.
The Cougars shot 53.6 percent from the field and held the visitors to 35.5 percent to lead by as many as 16 points in the first half.
Brandon Davies chipped in eight points and Tyler Haws seven for BYU.
Stephen Holt leads SMC with 10.
The Cougars never trailed, as Josh Sharp hit a 3-pointer to open the game and Saint Mary's came out as cold as the air outside the Marriott Center.
Carlino scored 10 straight points after Sharp's bucket, and when Davies hit a short jumper, the Cougars had a 20-4 advantage.
BYU led 26-11 with about seven minutes remaining in the first half when Davies hit a jumper. However, Holt heated up shortly after that for SMC, and the Gaels went on a 12-4 run to close the big BYU advantage to seven.
The Gaels made seven straight shots after starting the game 4 for 20 from the field.

Rock Hill, S.C. - Casey Allison and Thomas Spitz powered four-seed Wingate University past three-seed Brevard on Thursday evening in the final game of the first day of the 2012 Food Lion SAC Baseball Tournament with the 12-4 victory.
Allison drilled a two-run home run over the left field fence at McNair Field in the eighth inning and Spitz added four RBIs as the duo paced a 17-hit Bulldogs offensive attack on the evening to back Wingate starter Ben Currie in the victory.
Wingate struck first in the top of the third off BC starter Zach Joyce, plating the first run of the contest in the frame. Dodson McPherson sent Jacob Karr into scoring position with two outs in the inning with a bouncing single through the right side of the infield and Brian Yeung followed with a single to left centerfield. The base hit scored Karr, but Yeung was thrown out trying to extend the hit into a double to end the inning with the threat neutralized.
Champ Stuart answered for Brevard in the bottom half of the frame and evening the score with a shot off the fence in left field to knot the game up at one. Kramer Clark drew a two-out walk from Wingate's Ben Currie and Stuart followed, jumping on the first pitch and driving it off the 25 foot tall fence in left field. Clark came around to score in the inning, but Stuart was caught in a rundown between second and third and tagged out to end the inning.
Wingate chased Joyce from the game in the fourth inning, plating three runs to advance the Bulldogs' cause. Chris Vazquez singled home Casey Allison for the first run in the inning, bringing in the runner on a bunt through the BC infield, while Thomas Spitz doubled down the left field line, scoring Josh Clark. A passed ball brought in the final Wingate run in the inning, allowing Godinez to score from third to push the lead to 4-1.
The Bulldogs added two more runs to their total in the sixth as Allison singled in Spitz with two outs in the inning, while Clark doubled home McPherson with a line drive down the left field line to advance the lead to 6-1 before Casey Smith retired the side on a groundout to end the inning.
Brevard battled back in the bottom of the seventh, taking advantage of a pair of Wingate errors to cut the lead down to 6-4. Chad Funkhouser led off the inning with a base hit up the middle, advancing into scoring position on Tarron Robinson's double down the right field line. The first run of the inning scored as Cody Queen reached on an error, and O'Dell followed with a sacrifice fly to right field, scoring Robinson. The final run in the frame scored on a botched fielding attempt on a fly ball in short centerfield, allowing Queen to score from first base to cut the lead down to two with two innings to play.
Allison quickly silenced the mostly pro-BC crowd in the top of the eighth, following a sacrifice bunt by Yeung with a two-run blast over the towering fence in left field to score McPherson. Spitz followed later in the inning with a bases-clearing triple, scoring Godinez, Vazquez and Jason Hunter as the Bulldogs began to pull away from the Tornados late in the game.
Wingate added a final run in the top of the ninth as McPherson scored on a fielder's choice, and the Bulldogs retired the Tornados in the bottom half of the inning to end the contest.
Currie went seven strong innings for Wingate, earning the victory after scattering four hits and striking out four. Joyce earned the loss for Brevard, allowing eight hits and four runs (three earned) in 3.2 innings, while striking out two.
Wingate advances to take on no. 5 Carson-Newman in the nightcap tomorrow evening at McNair Field, while Brevard takes on top-seed Tusculum College in the 3:45 p.m. game.

When winter has arrived each year, most of us cyclist wind up in a jumble when it comes to staying fast and on form. We come across magazine articles and countless internet pieces that swear to us that the only way to truly train during the off-season is to ride long, slow rides to achieve base mileage. There is no denying that the best and most effective way to train during the cold months is to get out and ride. However, for many of us non-pro cyclists, as the days grow shorter, darker, wetter and colder, yet our work hours stay the same, our riding time and motivation is undoubtedly cut short. For those of us who don't simply have the time to ride during daylight hours, and don't fancy riding in the chill and low visibility of the dark hours, the answer is indoor training. Luckily for us, indoor training is the name of the game for CycleOps.
If you've got no time to waste when it comes to training, make sure every workout counts, with the Fluid 2 Trainer. The Fluid 2 was masterfully designed to capture real road feel through the use of a 2.25 lb individually precision-balanced flywheel for more momentum and stability of your rear wheel. The fluid levels are carefully adjusted for better resistance and the sealed cartridge bearings have been strategically positioned for better inertia and an ultra quiet ride that ensures increased wattage as you pick up the speed. Simply shift gears to increase or decrease resistance, just like you would when pedaling the pavement. Your wheel actually accelerates and decelerates on an infinite resistance curve, just like it does outside.
Professional cyclists and prominent scientist Allen Lim worked collectively to develop a power curve based on a hybrid of road and time trial positions, discovering the point at which a speed of 25 mph overlaps with an output of 400 watts. This point of overlap is where the best power curve resides and is the basis for PowerTuned technology. By training on a PowerTuned curve, you benefit from the most true-to-life speed versus power contingency, no matter what speed you ride at.
Whether it's a prerace spin in the grass or an intense training session in the garage, the Fluid 2 is constructed from sturdy, 2-inch round, 16-guage steel with adjustable footpads, providing stability no matter the surface. The quick-load cam lever lets you return immediately to the same resistance level of your last ride, making bike set-up quick and painless. The Fluid 2 Trainer just might be the most valuable tool you can add to your training toolbox.

Just putting this out there to see if theres interest.
I train 99.9% in a gi, which is great for technique but I want to concentrate on grappling/no gi this year.
Are there people interested in meeting up on say a Saturday morning somewhere in London for a casual, friendly roll?
No instruction or egos, just guys commioted to training hard, wanting to learn from each other, try new stuff out and rolling with different people, all no gi.
It makes no difference where or who you train/fight with/for, as I say egos and club patches stay at the door.
Let me know and if there are enough people interested, I can arrange something.
PS: i train at Roger Gracie Ladbrooke Grove and am not suggesting anyone trains there or does this instead of their usual training. This is some extra curricular training essentially for fun

Seattle Conference Rooms
Seattle Spotlight: Seattle Central Library
We at Vida Vegan HQ love the Seattle Central Library. It's oddly-shaped and weird and just so so unique and cool.
When we visited in April 2012 to research the best venue for the one day Tech Seminar, once we toured the library, we knew right away this was the right spot for us.
With stunning architecture and a central location, The Central Library is gorgeously awkward. Just our style!
The coolest part, for us, is the Red Room on the fourth floor.
This is where the meeting rooms are located.
The Tech Seminar this Saturday will be in a conference room on this red level, so for those of you that are coming, be prepared to get all "Red Room Red Room" up in here. (It's Halloween season, so this The Shining reference totally fits. Apologies for the creepy link!)
Our bright and cozy meeting space!
See some of you this Saturday! Any last minute suggestions for places to eat?

Laura Bridgman
Half a century before famed Helen Keller, the "Original Helen Keller," Laura Dewey Bridgman, became the first deaf and blind person to learn a language. By the time that Keller became famous in the early twentieth century, Bridgman's story had faded and been forgotten -- but like Keller, Bridgman moved souls around the world by triumphing over her multiple disabilities.
Laura Dewey Bridgman was born in the expansion period of the United States on December 21, 1829, just shy of President Andrew Jackson's message to Congress to relocate the Native American tribes west of the Mississippi River. With her parents, Daniel and Harmony Bridgman, Laura resided in Etna, New Hampshire, just a few miles east of Vermont. Although Native Americans had moved from that area decades earlier, it remained rural.
When she was two, Laura contracted scarlet fever, which eradicated both her hearing and her sight, while seriously damaging her senses of taste and smell. Touch was the only one of the five senses that was not impaired.
Her early means of communication and expression were through imitation by touch. Laura learned to perform tasks by following her mother's hands; she even learned to sew that way. However, it was Asa Tenny, a local handyman, who taught her to begin communicating using a system of signs. That attracted the interest of a professor at Dartmouth College, nearby in Hanover, New Hampshire, and he wrote a newspaper article about Laura.
Dr. Samuel Howe, head of the Perkins School for the Blind, read it and was eager to try to teach her. Even though educational experts believed that a deaf and blind student could simply not be taught such abstractions as reading, writing, and arithmetic. Howe – the husband of feminist and writer Julia Ward Howe -- was a progressive person willing to delve into new challenges.
On October 4, 1837, when she was almost eight years old, Laura left New Hampshire to live at the Perkins School for the Blind in Boston. There she would learn how to read and write using grooved paper. Dr. Howe used an innovative method: he had her feel items – a spoon, for example -- and then ran her fingers over a label with raised letters that spelled "spoon" to her touch. Laura did this with various items and words for several weeks, but the association between the item and the written word seemed beyond her comprehension. But one day, Dr. Howe wrote, her face "lighted up with human expression… [as] this truth dawned upon her mind."
After having lost the most valuable of human senses, Laura Bridgman learned to use the sense of touch to replace her sight and hearing. She first "read" words, and then, in the opposite of the usual approach, went backwards to learn the alphabet and numbers. By age ten, she could write her name. She moved on to keeping a journal, in which she recorded her thoughts and what she had learned that day. To be able to write, as well as read and otherwise communicate with people, was truly miraculous. It was clear that the fever had not destroyed the thinking part of her brain and that this girl was extraordinarily intelligent.
Dr. Howe had European contacts and was enough of a self-promoter to use them on behalf of his school. Laura's story was published in England, and when novelist Charles Dickens visited American in 1842, one of his main intentions was to meet the then 13-year-old girl. The British author of Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol, and other popular works wrote in his travelogue, American Notes (1842):
"I sat down…before a girl, blind, deaf, and dumb; destitute of smell; and nearly so of taste: before a fair young creature with every human faculty, and hope, and power of goodness and affection, enclosed within her delicate frame, and but one outward sense — the sense of touch. There she was, before me; built up, as it were, in a marble cell, impervious to any ray of light, or particle of sound; with her poor white hand peeping through a chink in the wall, beckoning to some good man for help, that an Immortal soul might be awakened."
The publicity that Dickens' visit generated turned Laura into something of a tourist attraction, as countless Bostonians and visitors to Boston emulated Dickens. Although arguably inhumane, the Perkins school set up barriers for people to stand behind and watch her, much as though she were an exhibit in a museum. Because she was sightless, this may have not been as exploitive as it appears, and Howe certainly thought that her popularity was good for the school. Her formal education stopped when she turned twenty, however, and her family brought her back home.
That did not work out, though, as she could not adjust to the isolation of rural New Hampshire. Unable to cope with living at home, she returned to Perkins after an absence of three years. Except for summer vacations in New Hampshire, she would remain at the Boston school for the rest of her life. She earned money by making and selling crafts to the tourists who flocked to visit her, especially in the pre-Civil War era. Her days at Perkins were busy with domestic tasks, too, and she even taught sewing to other sightless students.
Bridgman progressed intellectually to the point that she wrote and received letters from many people. She also thought about philosophical issues deeply enough that she decided to be baptized at Hanover, New Hampshire in 1862. Although she never achieved the status that Helen Keller did with her exceptionally devoted teacher, Anne Sullivan, Bridgman's life was a genuine success story. She died at Perkins, which still is extant, on May 24, 1889 of pneumonia, just a few months short of her 60th birthday.

There was an article in the sun on Sunday about him cutting about Partick thistles stadium wearing a club tracksuit and saying he was employed as a personal trainer. The club denied all knowledge but Brown slated the sun for writing negatively about him and costing him the job!
"you broadcasting it all over the newspapers making me look worse than I am, costs me a job" WORSE THAN I AM? What a statement to make.

Fordham Alumna Receives Clerkship on the Fifth CircuitFebruary 21, 2013
Marni von Wilpert '11 has received a clerkship with Judge James E. Graves on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Beginning in August, von Wilpert will spend one year assisting Judge Graves by writing bench memos, doing legal research, and traveling to New Orleans to observe oral argument when the court is in session.
Von Wilpert first became interested in clerking as a member of the Fordham Law Moot Court Board, where she developed an interest in discussing and debating legal issues heard at the appellate level.
She learned of the clerkship opportunity with Judge Graves while working with the Fordham Law Clerkship Committee, who helped guide her through the application process, prepared her for her clerkship interview, and assisted her with letters of recommendation.
"I am excited about clerking because I really love the law and I am passionate about public service," von Wilpert said. "I know that serving as a clerk will help give me a better understanding of our justice system, and mold me into a better advocate in the future."
Von Wilpert currently serves as a Skadden Fellow with the Mississippi Center for Justice, where she provides legal representation for people living with HIV and AIDS who face illegal discrimination due to their HIV-positive status.

Hello sxfpt,
I followed these 2 steps to create my persistent file.
This gave me an 800Mb file that I placed at the root of a FAT32 partition. I did put it in a different partition then the casper directory, but I don't think that that makes a difference. I wanted it in a separate partition that i could manipulate while booted in BT4 non-persistent or Windows. This has worked fine and is detected at boot.Code:dd if=/dev/zero of=casper-rw bs=1M count=800 mkfs.ext3 -F casper-rw

"ORCID spells out structure of 16-digit identifier
ORCID, an international, interdisciplinary, open and not-for-profit organisation, recently revealed information on what an ORCID identifier looks like.
The ORCID ID is a 16-digit number that is compatible with the ISO Standard (ISO 27729), also known as the International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI). Initially, ORCID IDs will be randomly assigned by the ORCID Registry from a block of numbers that will not conflict with ISNI-formatted numbers assigned in other ways. ORCID IDs always need all 16-digits – they cannot be shortened to remove leading zeros if they exist.
Only the ORCID Registry will assign ORCID IDs, either through the ORCID website, or the related APIs. ORCID IDs are intended to be assigned to individuals, and may be secured at no charge. The IDs will be assigned randomly from a block of numbers reserved for this purpose. (Initially IDs will be assigned between 0000-0001-5000-0000 and 0000-0003-5000-000X).
ORCID IDs will be expressed as an HTTP URI. The number will be proceeded by 'http://orcid.org/'. A hyphen will be inserted every 4 digits to aid readability, though if the hyphens are removed, the number still refers to the same ORCID ID."

One of Wharfedale's most popular cafes could be demolished if plans for an old school site in Otley progress.
Dunnies, on Bridge Street, opened in 1925 and has been popular ever since, especially with cyclists and bikers.
But the future of the business, and the adjoining Wharfe View News, is uncertain because of a four-storey care home scheme proposed for the former All Saints Middle School plot.
Developer Adlington wants to build a 55-flat complex for older people on the site, which has been branded an eyesore, and the plan would include demolishing Dunnies and the newsagents. A formal plan is yet to be submitted, but Adlington exhibited its initial proposals at two consultation events in the town last week.
Paul Davies, who owns Dunnies, confirmed he and his brother Michael, who owns and leases out Wharfe View News, would be looking to sell up should the plan progress.
He said: "The family has been running the business for about 50 years, but I'm 65 and thinking about my future."
Councillor Colin Campbell (Lib Dem, Otley and Yeadon) said: "I appreciate that most of the site is derelict and needs something doing to it, but I am not sure that a large, four-storey building next to the bridge and facing the river is appropriate.
"It will dominate both the riverside and surrounding houses and seems to be totally inappropriate. I would also be concerned at the loss of Dunnies, as this is an Otley institution which, throughout my lifetime, has dispensed tea and bacon sandwiches to schoolchildren, cyclists, walkers, workers and bikers. If it went it would be like losing a dear old friend."
Town council leader Councillor John Eveleigh (Lab, Ashfield) said: "I'm sure there will be considerable mixed feelings about the proposed development. On the one hand, people will be very relieved that one of the town's derelict sites, which has become an eyesore over the past ten years, is potentially going to be developed, but there will be major concern that the price is the loss of Dunnies.
"Dunnies is an institution, a real attraction for the many cyclists and motorcyclists that are attracted to the town and we can't afford to overlook that. However, it is clear the owners have agreed to sell-up.
"The town council, however, will want to work with local cycling groups and cafe owners to ensure the unique attraction of a Dunnies-style cafe is not lost."
Councillor Sandy Lay (Lib Dem, Otley and Yeadon) said: "I am generally in favour of the development, but I would not be able to support the design as outlined. A four-storey 'block of flats' rising from the ground in this location by the river would not be acceptable to me nor, I suspect, the community at large.
"I, like many, think it would be sad to see an Otley institution like Dunnies disappear, but that is a decision that rests between the owner and the developer."
A plan to build a dementia care home on the site was rejected earlier this year due to concerns about its positioning and the impact on neighbouring homes.

Location It needs reconstruction and meals were poor
A little expensive but great quality in return!
Great location, right on the beach
It was close to the beach. No hot water. TV didn't work. The dresser drawer was broke and laying on the floor when we first walked in the room.
Air conditioners were working good. Dirty and smelly room, no hot water, broken shower, broken fridge, plastic glasses for expensive coctails in restaurant …
Being able to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air and the fresh home cooked meals.
Convenience to several sites
This is the way to view Italy. The atmosherics, the owners and the staff made this one of the best nights we had spent in the region (even in a thunderstorm). If you get the chance make sure you try dinner and spend longer than an overnight stop! Nothing!
wine,dinner,staff (not manager) Busses did not run on a schedule
The receptionist Paola was excellent, nothing was too much trouble and she was so friendly and helpful. The setting of the hotel was lovely. The English lady in the mornings could have been more friendly and helpful. Very poor breakfast.
