Is the tough economy making you feel depressed? Do you run into negativity and pessimism wherever you go? Have you made New Year's resolutions you probably won't keep?
If that's what's bothering you, then cheer up, because I have found hope for you.
As the new year starts, I thought it would be helpful to locate The Most Optimistic Person in the World. After an exhaustive search, guess what? That person just happens to live in Long Beach!
He lives in a modest home on a quiet street in East Long Beach with Mary, his wife of 67 years, and he's brimming with optimism.
"I very seldom get down," said a smiling Phil Infelise. "I'm always looking forward to the future."
There are, of course, other optimists in the Greater Long Beach area. In a nonscientific online poll of Press-Telegram readers, 53 percent said they were feeling optimistic about the new year while 47 percent were more pessimistic.
But Infelise has the credentials to prove he is worthy of the Most Optimistic award. He joined Optimist International in 1955 and has been on the Board of Directors of Optimist Youth Homes and Family Services for 53 years.
Was Infelise born with optimism in his blood?
In his 86 years on Earth, Infelise has had plenty of things happen to him that could have made him more of a pessimist than an optimist. In fact, his life got off to such a bad start, he almost didn't make it to age 2.
"When I was 14 months old, I developed pneumonia and pleurisy," Infelise said. "I was dying."
His parents had already suffered the loss of four children to pneumonia and pleurisy before each reached
age 3.
"In the `20s, pneumonia was almost always a death sentence," Infelise said. "My parents didn't know what to do, but they finally sent me to a new doctor who said my lungs were filled with fluid and had to be drained. So he operated on me. To this day I have an eight-inch scar on my back, but I lived and here
I am."
And so, that early experience, which could have been very negative, instead had a happy ending and helped Infelise on his road to optimism.
But there were to be more bumps in that road. Infelise grew up in Chicago during the Great Depression.
"It was bad. We were poor, but we always had food on the table," he said.
After surviving the Depression, he got drafted into the Army as a medical corpsman during World War II and was sent to Europe 30 days after he married Mary.
"There was a lot of fear then," he said. "I thought I probably would never get back."
But Infelise did return and started his career in the banking business almost by accident.
"My wife was pregnant, I needed a job, I had an uncle who was in banking so I started out as a teller," Infelise said.
Infelise started climbing the banking ladder and, to be closer to his wife's family, moved to Long Beach, building a house on Lees Street in the Carson Park area in 1953, a house they bought for $12,000 and still live in.
Infelise worked at various banks, including Crocker Bank, Bank of America, Garfield Bank and Queen City Bank, where he opened a branch in Bixby Knolls. Queen City Bank was sold in 1994, and for the first time in 47 years, Infelise was out of a job.
But it wasn't like he wasn't busy. He had already started a second career as an unpaid community volunteer in 1985 when he was appointed by Mayor Ernie Kell to the Neighborhood Improvement Commission.
That was followed by chairmanship of a committee which helped keep the Queen Mary in Long Beach. He then was elected chairman of the Queensway Bay Project, which led to construction of the Aquarium of the Pacific and what is now the Pike Development.
His final volunteer job with the city was being appointed by Mayor Beverly O'Neill to the Long Beach Civil Service Commission where he served for eight years. His term expired last year and ended 25 years of volunteer work in Long Beach.
"I really enjoyed my work with the city," Infelise said. "If they can, everyone should volunteer somewhere. You always get more back than you give."
But Infelise isn't through volunteering, even though he turns an energetic 87 on Jan. 15.
He also has built what amounts to a third career as a volunteer with the Optimist Club.
He has broken many records at Optimist Youth Homes and Family Services, where he has been an active member of the Board of Directors since 1958. He became a member of Optimist International in 1955 and helped create the Belmont Shore Optimist Club.
One of Infelise's proudest moments came when Optimist High School opened in Los Angeles for high-risk youths in 1990. He had worked for years raising money for the school. The Infelise Education Building on the campus is named after him.
Another of Infelise's proud moments came in 1967 when he inducted former President Dwight Eisenhower into the Optimist Club.
Eisenhower was in Indio and said he had a few moments with the Optimist delegation to be made an honorary member.
Eisenhower made the mistake of asking Infelise, who was the district governor, "Governor, tell me about Optimism."
Infelise isn't the bashful type. He preached the gospel of Optimism to Eisenhower, who finally stared at Infelise and said, "Well, sir, I don't want to be an honorary member. ... I won't accept it! I want to be a regular member of this outfit. How much are the dues?"
When told the dues were $24, Eisenhower said he would send a check.
Whereupon Infelise, the medical corpsman, inducted Eisenhower, the general and president, into the Optimist Club and presented him with the Optimist Creed.
The Optimist Creed was created by Christian Larson who believed that people have tremendous powers that could be used for success with the proper attitude.
Infelise said the creed has had a major impact on his life.
"It's difficult to live up to everything in the creed every day," he said. "But I try to."
In addition to keeping in shape mentally, Infelise keeps physically fit working out at 5 a.m. three times a week at 24 Hour Fitness. That's where he met Bruce Mulhearn, president and board chairman of Prudential California Realty.
"Phil is a remarkable person," Mulhearn said. "He is a wonderful example of someone doing something for others all his life. His record of achievement is amazing."
Fred Janssen, another friend, said Infelise is an inspiration to many, adding, "It is no exaggeration to call him one of the greatest of what has been called `The Greatest Generation."'
Asked to peer into his crystal ball on how the new year looks, Infelise the Optimist said: "We didn't get into this fix overnight so it will take some time to get out of it, but I see things beginning to get better. We have to look on the sunny side of things and hope our dreams come true."
Spoken like a true Optimist.

Try mounting without specifying the fs type as NTFS. It should then hopefully autodetect the filesystem type and mount it using fuse/ntfs-3g.
Hey there. I'm not really a linux n00bie and i've been using backtrack since backtrack 3 although I only really used it for sh*ts and giggles at home and at friends places.
My current setup is an Acer Aspire One (150)
running Backtrack 4 (final)
Dual boot with Windows XP
So far I haven't had any troubles with it and the shiney new toys are fantastic, so thanks to all involved in the backtrack releases.
My problem is that my 2Tb external HDD is read only. if i try to write something to it i get "Could not write to /location/url/ect/ect/ect/file.extension"
I can mount it fine using
and i checked the properties and in the mounting tab and read only is not checked.mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/windows -t ntfs -r
so does anyone else have this problem with external HDDs?
i had a snoop around google but everything i tried made it worse (couldnt even read the files any more)
I would love a solution that doesn't require to be run every time i want to use my HDD. so when I plug it in it just works straight up.
if i left any info out just ask. I'm also sure this will help some others.
Try mounting without specifying the fs type as NTFS. It should then hopefully autodetect the filesystem type and mount it using fuse/ntfs-3g.
Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".
The Forum Rules, Forum FAQ and the BackTrack Wiki... learn them, love them, live them.
Actually nvm i found a way that works really well at:
How to mount partition with ntfs file system and read write access
however when i got the ntfs-3g app i used
(because the link provided on the website was broken.apt-get install ntfs-3g
thanks for letting me vent anyway :P it deffinatly helped me find the solution.
but at least I answered my own question and now anyone else with the same problem has the answer too ^_^

"Ill kind of have a foot on the back of my own butt. Thats just how I do things. -- Bryan Price, 10/22/2013
Jack Hannahan is 32 years old!!!! NOT TOO YOUNG. And apparently quite fortunate as far as genetics go.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
In the pictures where he's clean shaven Hannahan looks like he could have been plucked out of the 50s/60s.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
We're definitely going to have to find use for this:

It should be noted that Hannahan is from Minneapolis/St. Paul. As is the Reds GM.

|Tool Kit Conference
|Every student will reach into her or his tool kit for help in seeking a job or internship.
Laura Chrissley '12 knows the importance of the elevator speech – the quick, succinct summary of who she is and what she does.
"An elevator speech is one of the best tools to use when you first meet someone," said Chrissley, a business administration major concentrating in marketing and management.
"It really gives another individual a look into the type of person you are and how effective you are at selling yourself."
For Mark Rudovic '13, knowing his strengths and presenting them in his resume is key. Using a workbook to evaluate himself on various skills and characteristics showed him what he should showcase on his resume.
"Writing a resume is not the easiest thing; however, evaluating our strengths makes it seem effortless," said Rudovic, a business administration major concentrating in finance. Chrissley and Rudovic joined nearly other 100 students for a recent all-day career development workshop on campus that featured a guest speaker and networking event afterward.
"The Tool Kit" conference – open to junior, senior and MBA students – was designed to help them identify what they want out of a career and provide a path to get them there.
The seminar didn't teach about writing a resume or a cover letter, said event organizer Jessie Stone He, the school's Professional Development Coordinator. Instead, the seminar counted those skills as tools of an individual student's brand.
"They are branding themselves every time they send a tweet, every time they post on Facebook, every time they walk into the School of Business," said Stone He. "Students can't let themselves passively be branded. They need to actively build their brand, and the time to take ownership of that brand is now."
Guest speaker Rodney Miller – a human capital management specialist at Corporate Insights, of Purchase, N.Y., a firm comprised of consulting psychologists and management development professionals – conveyed the branding message. He also provided a 32-page booklet with self-assessment tests for the students.
"You want to be known for something. What do you want to be known for?" Miller said.
"Like Ford or Chevrolet or other manufacturers, students can have a brand. They can be known as a go-getter, someone who gets along with people, who is highly analytical."
He also emphasized that job-seeking students highlight their transferable skills.
"They have a lot more experience than they think they have, even if it's not in the corporate world. In athletics, in service organizations, in fraternities and sororities, if they've been involved in fundraising or event planning or had leadership positions, that's very important."
Chrissley's self-assessment showed she's detail-oriented.
"I have known this for some time and enjoy making sure things run smoothly," she said.
"My brand is a detail-oriented, creative, proactive individual."
Through two contacts, Chrissley, who wants to work in fashion marketing or an associate buying position, has arranged an interview with Urban Outfitters. She used what she'd learned at the Tool Kit conference.
"When writing the cover letter, I kept in mind the various skills that I honed in on at the conference and believe those skills are what the CEO was looking for in deciding whether or not I was qualified for an interview."
Rudovic seeks a career in finance. His brand? "I am one of the hardest working individuals you will meet," he said. He lists his strengths as work ethic, organization skills, teamwork and communication.
At the networking event after the seminar, Rudovic spoke with William Currie, a Morgan Stanley Smith Barney vice president and regional manager in Ithaca.
"He really gave me some insight on what he does and I'm looking forward to staying in touch with him,'' said Rudovic, who has experience as a global wealth management intern at Merrill Lynch.
He's enthusiastic about how quickly he put to use some Tool Kit conference lessons:
"What was great about the Tool Kit was that it taught you how to interact with individuals you don't know, and you had to tell them a little bit about yourself, the same thing you would do when approaching a professional at a networking event."

Teenager Mikaela Shiffrin has nearly flawless form when she cruises through a slalom course.
Her secret? She pictures the gates as trees and keeps her elbows close because, "arms flying out will get taken off by a tree."
And the 17-year-old almost always seems to be in perfect rhythm. Shiffrin has certainly found her cadence on the course, racing to her first World Cup victory Thursday in Are, Sweden. She's rapidly becoming skiing's next big thing.
Just in time, too, for the United States, with Lindsey Vonn taking a break from the circuit to recover from a nagging virus that has zapped her strength.
Ever since Shiffrin burst on the scene, she's drawn the inevitable comparisons to Vonn.
Not that Shiffrin minds, because she definitely has a lot in common with her idol.
And now, above all else, this winning.
At 17 years, 9 months, Shiffrin became the third youngest American to win a World Cup race behind Kiki Cutter (16 years, 7 months) and Judy Nagel (17 years, 5 months). Vonn didn't win her first big-league event until 20.
Freestyle skiing
Freestyle skiers Bryon Wilson and Heather McPhie of the United States won a World Cup dual moguls event Saturday in Kreischberg, Austria.
In the men's final, Wilson beat Alex Bilodeau of Canada for his first career World Cup win.
McPhie defeated American teammate Heidi Kloser in the women's final for her second win of the season and third overall.

Fortunately for France, Carnot was temporarily retained to control the department of war.
Carnot had in the meantime come to the assistance of the Committee of Safety.
This result had previously been deduced theoretically by Carnot .
It was Carnot who organized, clothed, fed, and drilled them.
Carnot owed his success to two things—arbitrary control over promotion, and the cheapness of French lives.
What is Carnot to us or we to Carnot, that we should weep for him?
He therefore could not appeal to the nation, as Carnot did in France.
Carnot had told Bonaparte the truth concerning the state of the army in Italy.
Although the standard of political Assassination of president Carnot.
No. 17, dating from about 1670, was the house of the Carnot family.
French physicist and engineer who founded the science of thermodynamics. He was the first to analyze the working cycle and efficiency of the steam engine according to scientific principles. Through his experiments Carnot developed what would become the second law of thermodynamics and laid the foundation for work by Kelvin, Joule, and others.

2011 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast Cinghiale Vineyard Etched 1.5 Liter. This beautiful bottle has the label etched in the glass and then is hand painted. A nice wood box with Del Dotto logo is available if you would like one.
Everything the 2010 has…but a little bit better. If we made everyone of our Pinots like these one, we'd be very content. Some say the 2012 is destined to be better. We'll see, but this one is pretty stunning.

Template Data Interface (TDI, /ʹtedɪ/) is a markup templating system written in Python with (optional but recommended) speedup code written in C. Unlike most templating systems, TDI does not invent its own language to provide functionality. Instead, you simply mark the nodes you want to manipulate within the template document. The template is parsed, and the marked nodes are presented to your Python code, where they can be modified in any way you want.
DSFoundation is a foundation enhancement library for Objective-C. It includes an IOC (Inversion of Control) container, translation (serialization and conversion) to and from Objects, YAML, and XML, automatic KVC adaptation and compliance, logging through an integrated Log4Cocoa, regular expression extensions, and much more.
Universal File Mover (UFM) manages the transfer of files. The user combines a series of Action commands to create the UFM Workflow XML file. These Action commands define which actions are to be taken, the order of the actions, and how errors are to be handled. UFM processes the Action commands as per the UFM Workflow XML file. UFM currently contains 41 Action commands. These action commands fall into five categories: WebSphere MQ Actions, Network Actions, File Actions, Control Actions, and Other Actions. UFM can transfer files in one of five ways, using WebSphere MQ, FTP, SFTP, SCP, or HTTP.
Unlike other Java to Objective-C solutions, Java-Objective-C Bridge doesn't require any code generation of class stubs. It allows you to use any Objective-C libraries and frameworks from Java without having to write any native code. In addition to being able to use Objective-C objects, it allows you to pass Java objects to the objective-c runtime as delegates, so that you can write an entire Cocoa application in Java. The bridge provides 3 levels of abstraction. At the lowest level, it provides wrappers around the Objective-C runtime functions. At a slightly higher level of abstraction, it provides a procedural API to send messages to the Objective-C runtime. At the highest level of abstraction, it provides a Proxy class that serves as a wrapper around any Objective-C object that allows you to work with it in Java almost the same as if you were in Objective-C.

My dad really wants an iphone without a data plan do u think they might make an iphone that doesnt need a data plan. My dad doesnt want to pay the 15 a month for something he doesnt use He just wants the phone itself just to make calls. My dad only wants an iphone nothing else.
He could say buy an iphone outright and get a cheaper/free phone activated and pop the sim in from the cheaper phone to the iphone...
But that'll still be odd because almost everything the iphone does other then calls uses data as a backend...
I remember back in 2007-08 I had the opposite going on I had an iphone on go phone and when I stopped paying it they left the unlimited data on even tho it couldnt make/receive calls
lol I swear non of those posts where there b4 i typed my response anywho looks like matrixhunter hijacked the thread
All you weirdos out there who think a data plan is NEEDED on the iphone or it is no good do not think About other peoples needs or wants. Some of us just use data on wi-fi anyway and paying for data is a waste!
Let me see if you can make a little test, just a simple test. On that sweet and cute iPhone 4 or whatever you have, go to settings, general then network. Turn your "CELLULAR DATA OFF" now can you make a call?. Now, can you use your iPhone without data plan? How ATT are going to know if you have an iPhone and it need a data plan if you are not trying to use it. Im talking about an iPhone with out contract off course bought from somebody. If you had one motorola razor before they still believing that you have that phone with the sim card there. But if somebody is soooo stupid to tell them that you are using an iPhone of course they are going to force you a data plan. Yes ATT can see if you are tethering but that's because you have data plan already and they can see the drastic change on your monthly data usage or that thing that you call tracer, they can monitor that. It's not the same thing. And yes that iPhone 3GS still working without data plan and same monthly payment.

Happy Bellend Day everyone
Happy Bellend Day everyone
Haha quality, good to see you post! War!
I will deliver a sincere, full apology before christmas*
*subject to availability
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
it was nice to see my name on the list, even if it was close to the bottom, like a sort of afterthought.
I can understand why i might not instantly spring to mind, it's not like i whore'd myself out in every thread going with small inane 10 character posts, in a vainglorious attempt to force-ably vomit my opinion or emotion of the moment onto whatever the topic of conversation was that day, in a shallow ego boosting effort to garner the largest post count going in the shortest amount of time possible.
My strategy of carefully constructing thought provoking responses to even the most trivial daily minutiae, my talent for regaling my fellow forumites of my oft humorous adventures, or the well worded, articulate and level headed advice that any troubled cagewarrior could rely upon from a quality blackdogmma post was never really going to net me any popularity, or dare i suggest, any friends.
Still it's nice to know that my time here at least touched someone in some way, not in the way in which afterwards you need to show an adult where you were touched by pointing to the area on a teddy bear, but touched in a good way, on the inside, in a way that made them think " i wonder where blackdog is?" and "i hope he's not dead"
I will take some small sense of achievement from being included in this list of those missed, if only because it is far better to be somewhere near the bottom of a list of posters who are missed than to be somewhere near the top of the inevitable follow up thread "a list of poster you wish would fuck off and post elsewhere!"

Ah welcome back to old school story teller and 27th most missed poster.
On reflection, I don't think it's individual posters I miss so much as a general atmosphere/tone of the board. I guess I'm really talking about the first two to three years of the board where there was banter carried over from meeting at shows and where those of us who didn't go along to shows kind of knew others in a virtual sense as a combination of talking to our training partners who had met other posters at shows and from on-line only conversations. Oh... and at this time of year: those posts where people would show off about how serious there were about MMA by going for a post Christmas dinner training session at the gym. I could never work out how you could train on a full stomach myself.
Any opinions I express on this forum are entirely personal opinions and it should not be assumed that they reflect the official view of any organisations I am connected with

He sounds like a soporific senator defending the ugly compromises of Washington.
Innocuous, soporific white guys like Rob Portman and T-Paw became the horses to bet on.
"Gently rolling hills" roll not-so-gently under my tires, but the English countryside scenery is soporific.
A travelogue of the drug-testing labs at Pfizer, Eli Lilly, or GlaxoSmithKline would likely be soporific.
The premise is this: turkey is chock-full of a soporific essential amino acid, tryptophan, one of the 22 essential amino acids.
But it is inebriant, and not soporific; and its secondary sedative action on the heart is more powerful than that of Opium.
He had made up his mind that he might have to spend days in this soporific hamlet.
From which it appears evident that the actual words used as a soporific allow considerable latitude of choice.
The soporific, thwarted in its effect for a moment, redoubled its power over him.
To these soporific works of reference he apparently regarded the dramatist's volume as a fitting pendant.
"tending to produce sleep," 1680s, from French soporifique (17c.), formed in French from Latin sopor (genitive soporis) "deep sleep" (see sopor). As a noun from 1722. Earlier as an adjective was soporiferous (1580s as "characterized by excessive sleep," c.1600 as "soporific").
soporific sop·o·rif·ic (sŏp'ə-rĭf'ĭk, sō'pə-)
Inducing or tending to induce sleep.
Sleepy; drowsy.

As one of the oldest cities in the nation, it is easy to kindle romance along the picturesque streets of our historic city.
In fact, a night or two in a New Orleans bed and breakfast would be the ultimate way to celebrate the lover's holiday. Make sure to book your room as soon as possible, as this holiday fills up our B&B's early!
Romantic Dining in New Orleans
One of the traditional activities for Valentine's Day, a romantic dinner, is also easily accomplished in this gourmet city. One of the best ways to find just the right restaurant for your taste, price range and mood is to ask your innkeeper.
Here are some recommendations innkeepers have shared:
Coquette: Modern, oysters, daily menu changes, small bistro-style. (Washington and Magazine Street)
Jacques-Imo Cafe: More of a party atmosphere (Uptown on Oak)
Windsor Court Grill Room : In the French Quarter. Upscale and more pricey.
Lilette: French-style cuisine (Magazine St.)
Iris: Good drinks, lighter food and pretty. Warning: bad parking.
Sylvain: Down home bar and food (French Quarter)
Room 27: 2nd generation modern creole style cuisine
Take a Romantic Carriage Ride
Mule-drawn carriages can be boarded on the Decatur Street side of Jackson Square at almost any hour of the day. Or charter a carriage to pick you up from your B&B (if available) or after dinner. They are a scenic and rustic way to tour the French Quarter while being entertained and enlightened by a knowledgeable driver. Click here for carriage tours that you can charter.
Have a Picnic in the Park
With the balmy year-round weather in New Orleans, you can have a lovely picnic, even in February! Bring a bottle of wine (that's right, it's legal to drink in New Orleans parks!) and some of your favorite bites to Jackson Square, Louis Armstrong Park or Washington Square near Frenchman Street.
We hope you will decide to spend the lover's holiday in the Crescent city!
