USC grads helping with Gulf oil spill
University of South Carolina alumni from the College of Arts and Sciences are putting their expertise to work in the Gulf, where they are involved in everything from data collection and assessment of conditions to studying the impact of the oil spill on marine life. Here is a sampling:
Jacqueline Michel is the president of Research Planning Inc. in Columbia. She earned her B.S. in geology in 1974, her master's in 1976 and her Ph.D. in 1980, all from USC.
She is the Shoreline Cleanup Assessment Team (SCAT) coordinator for Louisiana and has been working on the spill since April 28 as part of the NOAA team of scientific support coordinators. Most of her work involves managing the collection of data on shoreline oiling conditions and making the cleanup recommendations. She is also working on issues such as the barrier island berm (which she recommended against), protection strategies, assessment of submerged oil, issues with cleanup of marshes, development of new approaches for marsh cleanup, and evaluation of new technologies. She rotates into Louisiana for about 20 days and then returns every two weeks.
"It is very hectic every day, between meetings, dealing with many requests for information, and generating the data," Michel said. "The latest flurry of activity was the request for our shoreline oiling data to be produced by noon each day so it can be on the president's desk at 5 a.m. the following day. The president sees the data and maps we generate every day on the miles of shoreline oiling and the status of the cleanup."
She is hopeful about the future.
"The current data indicates that the spilled oil is highly biodegradable, which is good for the recovery of shoreline habitats. So far, 260 miles of shoreline in Louisiana has been oiled, out of about 7,000 miles of intertidal habitat. I am amazed that more shoreline has not been oiled. Actually the combined effects of subsurface recovery, skimming, burning, dispersant application, and natural weathering have really reduced the overall impact to shoreline resources. What we don't know yet are the impacts to the water column resources. But there is a very coordinated effort for this. There is lots to learn. My experience in many spills in the Gulf is that everyone will be surprised at how quickly some of the shoreline habitats will recover. We always fear for the worst, but reality is not so bad."

A civil harassment restraining order is a court order that helps protect people from abuse/harassment or threats of abuse/harassment.
It can order you to:
1. Read the order carefully. If you disobey the order, you can go to jail or be fined.
2. Read How Can I Respond to a Request for Civil Harassment Restraining Orders? (Form CH-120-INFO)
3. Go to the court hearing on the restraining order. The hearing date is on the Notice of Court Hearing (Form CH-109).
4. If you want to tell your side of the story, file a response BEFORE your court date.
You do not need a lawyer to respond to a restraining order. BUT it is a good idea to have a lawyer. Having a restraining order issued against you can have very serious consequences, so by having a lawyer you can protect your rights as best as possible. Click for help finding a lawyer.
Your court's self-help center may also be able to help you respond to the restraining order or refer you to someone who can.
If you decide to answer the request for the restraining order, follow these steps:
STEP 1. Fill Out Your Court Forms and Prepare to File
STEP 2. File and Serve Your Response
STEP 3. Get Ready and Go to Your Court Hearing
STEP 4. After the Court Hearing
1. Read How Can I Respond to a Request for Civil Harassment Restraining Orders? (Form CH-120-INFO).
2. Fill out your response forms:
3. Fill out your court's local forms (if any)
Ask your local court clerk if there are local forms you have to fill out. Some courts also have forms on their website. Find your local court's website.
4. Have your forms reviewed before filing
If your court's self-help center helps people with civil harassment restraining orders, ask them to review your paperwork. They can make sure you filled out your Response properly.
5. Make at least 2 copies of all your forms
One copy will be for you; another copy will be for the protected person. The original is for the court.
Once you have filled out all your forms, you have to file them with the court and "serve" (give a copy to) the protected person who filed the request. Do this right away. Do this at least 2 days before your court hearing to make sure you give the court, and the protected person, enough time to review your response. If you cannot do it at least 2 days before the court date, do it as soon as you can.
1. File your Response in court
Take the original and 2 copies of your form to the court clerk to file. The court clerk will keep the original and return both copies to you, stamped "Filed."
2. Serve the protected person with a copy of your forms
You must get someone 18 or older (NOT YOU) to mail a copy of your Response and other papers to the protected person. The person who does this is called the "server" or "process server." The server can also hand-deliver the papers.
3. File your proof of service
Have your server fill out a Proof of Service of Response by Mail (Form CH-250) and give it to you. Then, you file it with the court and keep a copy for yourself. This form tells the judge that the protected person got a copy of your Response.
If you are unable to file and serve your forms before the hearing, bring them with you to the hearing anyway.
This section will tell you how to get ready for your hearing.
Be prepared:
Do not miss your hearing!
If you miss it, the judge can make the orders without hearing from you.
Get there 30 minutes early:
Practice what you want to say in response to what the protected person said in the request:
During your hearing, the judge may ask questions
The judge's decision
At the end of the hearing, the judge will say what the orders are. The judge may:
See Going to Court to read more information about how to prepare for your court hearing.
If the judge issues a restraining order against you at the hearing, or any type of orders, you MUST follow them. If you do not, you can be arrested.
If you were not at the hearing, you will be served with the Civil Harassment Restraining Order After Hearing (CLETS-CHO) (Form CH-130) within a few days of your court date, by mail or in person. If you did go to the hearing, you may still want to get a copy of the Form CH-130. If anything on it is different from what the judge ordered, talk to the court clerk right away to see what you can do. If the clerk cannot help you, talk to a lawyer right away. Or talk to your court's self-help center to see if there is anything they can help you with. The rules for whether you have to be served with a copy of Form CH-130 are as follows:
If the judge issues a restraining order against you, you are not allowed to own, possess, buy or try to buy a firearm. If you own 1, you will have to sell it to a licensed gun dealer or turn it in to law enforcement, and file proof with the court. To file this proof, you can use the Proof of Firearms Turned In, Sold or Stored (Form CH-800). For more information on what to do, read How Do I Turn in, Sell, or Store My Firearms?
It can be difficult to find free or low-cost legal help if you are responding to a request for a civil harassment restraining order. But you should still try since legal aid agencies have different guidelines, and your local bar association may have a volunteer lawyer program that can help you. Click for help finding a lawyer.
Your court's self-help center may also be able to help you respond to the restraining order or refer you to someone who can.

Just got news tonight..... Turns out the guy who had Thing2's Tbug
Beastly Wild Thing
was one of the Marines who was killed in action on Sept 23rd in Iraq.
I got an email from his brother because he was going through his things and found the Tbug with his geocaching stuff and wanted to know what to do with it.
Gee... what do you say to somebody who contacts you with news like that??
Soooooooo depressing.
I emailed him my condolences, but it hardly seems enough. Strange how the war comes in a grabs you by the heart in the most unexpected ways. I guess it touches everyone's life in some way...

One thing that we all can say is "Thank you."
To date I've lost three acquaintances in either one of the two sandboxes. Whether or not you support the war or not is not this issue really. Our soldiers are not political they serve.
For those that give up their life, they do so unwillingly believe me. None of our soldiers, sailors, airmen or marines are taught to willingly give up their life to the enemy. But they do willingly give up their life for their fellow servicemembers or for their beliefs in what they are doing. Most of the service members are doing a job they believe in. I didn't say cause but job. As an individual that spent 22 years serving, I can tell you that what we do it to preserve our rights. Those rights of our nation to openly agree or disagree and the ability to openly say so.
As far as this individual goes. Even spending a little time talking to his brother about him can help the family. Believe me you can never really ease the pain the family is feeling. However, by talking to him even about geocaching can help him understand his brother a little bit better.
As far as the bug goes. I would archive it and put a byline on it and dedicate it to his memory.
Airborne All the Way!

I have a similar story to this. However without the tragic end.
I had been wondering where my TB "Noah's Ark" (reference TBD12A), had gone since December. I couple of weeks ago I got an email from Timbrewlf, from the Rochester area. He said that he grabbed my bug before he went over to Iraq. He is currently serving as a guard over at the Abu Ghurayb prison. He was just letting me know that he had my bug and would try to get it put in a cache as soon as he could. I replied to him that it was no big hurry. I wished him luck and hoped that him and all of his fellow soldiers make it back unharmed. (By the way, this was just before we started hearing about all of the problems with way the prisoners were being treated over there). I am hoping that he was not involved in any of that.
I hope he emails me soon to give me an update on how things are going over there.

Sneak Peek: What to Expect from the 2013 Oscars
What can we expect from the Oscars this year? Movie musicals, James Bond, and more!
-Lucia Peters
Happy almost-Oscars, Bettys! The big show is just a few days away, and we can't wait. But what can we expect from this year's ceremony? We did a little digging in preparation to see what we could find out. Read on for all the deets!
The producers of this year's Oscars, Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, recently sat down with Deadline to chat about what they've got planned for the big night. We scoured it for information about what we might be seeing during the show, so for your reading pleasure, here are a few of the more interesting tidbits:
-Viva la Musical: One of the big moments of the night will be a celebration honoring the comeback of the movie musical, which has steadily been gaining steam over the last decade. In addition to key Les Miserables cast members (Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Russell Crowe, Eddie Redmayne, Aaron Tevit, Samantha Barks, and Helena Bonham Carter), the segment will also feature performances from Dreamgirls' Jennifer Hudson and Chicago's Catherine Zeta-Jones.
-A View of the Future: Six college filmmaking students won a contest to appear on the show as statuette presenters. The idea was to bring together the passionate moviemakers of tomorrow with the cream of the crop in the industry today. We like it!
-In It for the Long Haul: Fair warning: It's going to be long (that's the price we pay for entertainment during award shows). Said Zadan, "They would like it to be three hours and we are doing as much as we can to bring it in as close to three hours. It's not going to be three hours, but we will try to get it close to that."
Read From Hailee Steinfeld to Helen Mirren: A Decade of Gorgeous Oscar Gowns
-The Sultry Song Stylings of Seth MacFarlane: Host Seth MacFarlane is apparently weaving song in and out of his signature comedy bits. At the Oscar rehearsal last week, the biggest shock for everyone from the orchestra to Zadan and Meron themselves, was hearing Seth rehearse the tunes he'll be performing with the orchestra. Noted Zadan, "He sounds like Sinatra. I mean the voice is unbelievable." What can we expect from his opening monologue? The edge of Seth's contemporary humor with a throwback to the days of Bob Hope and Johnny Carson.
-Bond. James Bond: In addition to Adele singing the title track from Skyfall, which is up for Best Original Song, there's going to be a segment celebrating the 50th anniversary of James Bond—in which Shirley Bassey, the legendary voice behind the Goldfinger theme, will feature. Talk about movie history!
-The Mystery of Barbara Streisand: Amazingly, Barbara Streisand has only sung on the Oscars once before during the course of her decades-long career (the last time was 36 years ago, when she won the Best Original Song award for A Star Is Born's "Evergreen"). What will she be singing this time around? Guessing is part of the fun! When Zadan and Meron announced that Barbara would be making an appearance during the she, apparently told them, "I love the fact that you announced me but you didn't announce what I would be doing because I really want to surprise people when I come out as to what I am going to be doing."
Head on over to Deadline for more, including how Zadan and Meron have been keeping everything as much a secret as possible (impressive in this digital age of instant information) and whether they were surprised at how big an undertaking producing the Oscars is. And be sure to tune into the Oscars this Sunday at 7pm EST/4pm PST on ABC!

Miley Cyrus Covers Fleetwood Mac's 'Landslide' in Concert
Photo: Getty Images
By Sarah Bertolino
Miley Cyrus is no stranger to surprising fans at her concerts!
At her Bangerz tour performance in Oakland, California, on Monday, the 21-year old singer decided to throw back to a song that she hasn't covered since her tour two years ago — "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac.
For the song, Miley donned an oversize tee with her tongue wagging face on it and a sparkly hat that covered up her casual short blond 'do as she read the lyrics off of her phone.
The "Wrecking Ball" singer, who has also been covering Outkast's "Hey Ya" and Dolly Parton's "Jolene" at her shows, has a deep, powerful voice that lends itself perfectly to the classic song.
What do you think of Miley's version? What song should she cover next?

Lockheed Warns Foreign Cyberattackers are Targeting Its Contractors
Jason Mick
November 13, 2012 6:33 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
RSA was not the only contractor to suffer a major breach, warns Lockheed
Amidst a mix of
public testimony
leaked intelligence reports
suggesting persistent cyber attacks on U.S. institutions
by Iran
and China
, the top supplier to the
U.S. Department of Defense
(DOD) is issuing a strongly worded warning. Lockheed Martin Comp. (
), whose annual revenues eclipse $47B USD, warned Monday of a rising number of so-called "advanced persistent threats", noting that many of these sophisticated attacks were linked.
According to Chandra McMahon, Lockheed vice president and chief information security officer, her firm has been targeted by a number of serious attacks. She
, "The number of campaigns has increased dramatically over the last several years. The pace has picked up."
All eyes are on Lockheed, after the company was selected to support the Pentagon's
Cyber Crime Center
(DC3), beating out previous contract holder General Dynamics Corp. (
If you believe the gospel according to Lockheed, so to speak, the weakest part of the security chains at present are contractors. In a discussion Lockheed executives revealed that EMC Corp. (
) subsidiary RSA, makers of the titular cryptographic standard was only one of
two major contractor breaches
. Like RSA, the other contractor's info was used in an attempted second-wave attack on Lockheed.

Lockheed says it is
working with both suppliers
, as well as other potentially vulnerable partners, to shore up their security.
Charlie Croom, Lockheed's vice president of cybersecurity solutions remarks, "Suppliers are still a huge problem... the adversary has been very significant and tenacious and has really been targeting the defense industrial base."
Lockheed says that some of biggest dangers come from so-called spear phishing attacks, tailor-made attacks which target a specific company and are designed to lure employees to malicious websites or to download from an email files containing malware. Lockheed also reports seeing a new wave off attacks over social media platforms.
The supplier says that it is aware of many potential
cyber-spies creeping around its networks
. It says it had been tracking the spies who hacked RSA for a few years. While the RSA information gave those parties a ticket to advance their efforts, Lockheed claims it ultimately stopped any significant data loss from occurring via in-house detection, monitoring, and network lockdown capabilities.

NEW VERSION! (24th July 2011)
Obvious changes in this version are
* Redesign of the home screen http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/2095/...ot019a.png
*Added a few Meta Data views to the video library which are ironically faster because less images to load on the screen
(the look better on the iPad than in the screen shots)
* Added a battery level indicator to the top right of all the main windows (this needs an iOS build greater than 18th July or it will always show 0%)

I have also uploaded a nicer weather icon pack to my site that I recommend people use I got the original from here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=50196 so all credit to Bob___ for making it
just copy it over and replace the same zip in /private/var/stash/Applications.CHXuVl/XBMC.app/XBMCData/XBMCHome/media while xbmc is not running
And here we go very much ahead of the "In a couple of weeks" schedule that I promised is the first Alpha release of the skin for people to test
Bare in mind that only the main things people would use in day to day use are done (and even then maybe not) if you plan on doing other things like setting up sources making play lists and other sort of things do it in confluence then switch back.
Nothing is final
* I don't really want to hear anything bad about Looks or bugs in things that are obviously not finished if you
* I do want to hear about usability issues in stuff that looks like I have skinned it
* Make sure you are using a iOS from here dated 11-Jul-2011 or newer [AppleTV2/iOS] Unofficial semi-nightly build FAQ/info/issues older versions of XBMC will not work!
* Technically gestures should also work on windows 7 with a recent git master build of xbmc but its not tested so use at own risk
* LINUX IS NOT SUPPORTED. Linux does not have the gesture API hooked up yet so you wont be able to navigate around your media with a touch screen its currently iOS and windows 7 only
* I suggest adding this to your advancedsetting.xml and starting with a fresh userdata dir XBMC's default is 512 and a 256 will make your thumbs load much quicker when scrolling and they never get displayed that big int he skin anyway see here http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Advancedsett...umbsize.3E

Sorry for the long absence, but I have been nursing my husband back to health for the past month. I was all ready to post something new, when a suitcase fell from the top of my guest wardrobe onto my computer desk and broke it in half!
Luckily, my computer and monitor survived the trauma. I hope to be back this coming week with a new post.
Thanks for your patience,

Which chipset does your broadcom have? BT3b works out of the box and supports injection for at least all bcm43xx chipsets.
PWR readings are not supported for broadcom chipsets so this is nothing to be worried about.the problem is when i airodump-ng (interface) all the network i can i see have PWR 0 and some even -1 which is quite strange because generally i get good signals from my neighbours and excellent signals from my own network.
Naturally you can not expect to stay connected to a network while putting your wireless card into promiscuous mode. And as a side note, do not use the Wireless Assistant but learn to use the command line instead and you will be spared from a lot of connection issues.Also I noticed that while i do some airmon-ng commands i get disconnected from the internet and cannot see ANY wireless networks in the wireless assistant all of a sudden.

There is a Plan B! Many doubt Rovers have one, but was not the fight-back at Barrow exactly that?
"We changed the formation" said manager Hockaday in his post match press conference, praising the team's effort in the last 20 minutes. He is always honest on such occasions and added that for much of the match Barrow looked as if they wanted victory more than FGR.
Was this down to so much negative talk beforehand? Statements I heard all week such as, bogey team, poor pitch, and hostile crowd. I am sure the players did also. Perhaps they began to believe some of the negative publicity.
Whatever happened we are third. We have earned a valuable away point and if asked in August where we would be now, how many of us would have predicted that?
Our planned progress to the play-offs continues. It will be a stop start journey, but I believe the destination will be one that causes rejoicing. So much so I am writing this from Cornwall. Changes in the Light family holiday dates have been made to keep May clear.
Next Saturday brings Totton to the New Lawn. This should mean a chance to rest a few regulars and give other squad members a game.
Will Matt Bulman get the chance to show us his fine kicking? Will we see OJ and Jared play for 90 minutes? Will the ill-fated Chris Todd be able to do the same? Can Brogan and Rowe play in the same team? The answer to the latter question may be no, as their roles are too similar.
I hope Brogan gets the call as his free- kicks are leading to goals.
My overview of the FA Trophy is quite simple, we should of course try and win every game, but this competition enables squad players to gain valuable match experience. Anyway whatever team is selected it should be good enough to take us forward.
Friends who have watched Totton tell me they have two very quick skilful forwards and will offer us a fair challenge. As we savour an away point, Newport must be reeling. A "blow up" there was anticipated, but this is one of nuclear nature. They are sure to spend heavily in the transfer window, but it may be too late by then.
A realistic view must be taken of the transfer window.
Departures would only happen if both player and club wished them to happen, and that would only happen if another club came calling. If there are any January changes they will be minimal.
Two well known names featured in the news this week, Jefferson Louis and Wayne Hatswell. Both played for FGR and made very different contributions, in their own way, however they have contributed to our love of non-league football. Jefferson with his many clubs (is it now 30?) and Wayne with his mature contribution, wherever he has played.
If Jefferson has kept a diary he should consider publishing it and any club seeking a senior coach should consider Wayne. Both still have much to offer, but if they do vanish from view – thanks for the memories gentleman.
The next fortnight will give the players and management time to look forward to the remainder of the league programme. One thing must be addressed, that is motivation or determination – call it what you will.
At the outset of this article I stated confidence in a play-off position being obtained and statistically that is well within our grasp.
Dave Hockaday is always honest after matches and if he says as he did on Saturday "sometimes it seems they wanted it more" does this not indicate a problem? One surely for him to solve? We all know the phrase "give us the tools and we will finish the job". I am confident about both the tools and the finish, but consistency must be achieved in both attitude and results. We are too close to fail.
In closing I offer a word of thanks to Trevor Horsley. He has showed the size of his heart by sponsoring the supporters fish and chips on the Barrow return journey. I have had withdrawal symptoms all day about not being at Holker Street. I would have loved to have partaken of his generosity. Rick Stein's chip shop will have to do.

Crown Audio Introduces HiQnet™ Band Manager™ As Breakthrough Software Application for Portable PA System Configuration and Control
19 January 2009, Elkhart, Indiana, United States
Delivering an unprecedented sound management solution to the portable PA market, Harman International has introduced HiQnet Band Manager™ software. The free-of-charge application provides a sleek function-driven interface designed to simplify system setup and management while enabling audio professionals, musicians, and engineers to configure and control a rack of Crown XTi series amplifiers. Band Manager unlocks all the loudspeaker processing capabilities of the XTi Series. Once it has automatically discovered up to eight USB-connected XTi amplifiers, represented in a virtual rack, all the setup required is to load each amplifier with the JBL-provided speaker tunings and set which amplifiers are driving front-of-house. Band Manager makes smart use of browser-style navigation and the 'Home' screen displays monitor strips for each amplifier in the rack and front-of-house EQ and level control. EQ for stage monitors and all other processing is accessible on an individual amplifier basis. On booting Band Manager, all amplifier settings are sucked from the connected devices but they can also be saved to disk for quick recall if the rack is used often in multiple venues.
Band Manager is a cut-down version of its parent software, HiQnet System Architect™, a much larger application which provides full-system control of over 70 professional audio devices from across the entire Harman Pro group, including the XTi Series. Anyone who has already used System Architect with the XTi will instantly be familiar with the amplifier control layout since Band Manager makes use of the very same software plug in. Directly tailoring Band Manager to the needs of portable PA market, though, enables far quicker configuration of a rack of XTi amplifiers by bringing only the essential tools into direct focus. For those who need the more advanced control, any rack configurations saved within Band Manager can be opened in System Architect. By using the plug in concept, Band Manager is all ready to control other future portable PA HiQnet devices.
Commenting on the introduction of Band Manager, Andy Flint, Crown marketing manager for portable PA stated, "Band Manager Provides users with a simple and intuitive interface capable of unlocking the vast array of system setup and management tools included in the XTi product line's integrated processing. This is another excellent example of Harman's experience and dedication to the portable PA market.
While Band Manager is being introduced to operate in conjunction with Crown XTi amplifiers it is planned it will take control of other complimentary Harman HiQnet products in the near future. "As a group, we envision Band Manager being used to manage an entire portable PA sound system all the way from microphone to speaker. When introducing software control, making the management of a potentially complex audio system as simple as possible is the most important goal. It is no longer enough to just provide the user with the highest quality equipment, you need to offer great, user-friendly tools to open its potential as well," added Flint.
Harman HiQnet™ is the world's first connectivity and control protocol that integrates all product categories in the signal chain for professional audio systems of all types, size, and applications. Harman HiQnet™ no longer requires the user to manage multiple disparate operating systems or be responsible for programming individual signal processors, speaker controllers, wireless microphone systems, and mixing consoles. HiQnet™ was developed by engineers from across the Harman Pro Group and is coordinated by the System Development and Integration Group (SDIG), a team of dedicated systems specialists based in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Crown is a unit of Harman International Industries, Incorporated www.harman.com. Harman International designs, manufactures and markets a wide range of audio and infotainment products for the automotive, consumer and professional markets, and maintains a strong presence in the Americas, Europe and Asia, employing more than 11,000 people worldwide.

Walton, Jo. Among Others
The typical fantasy novel tells the story of an epic magical battle, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. Among Others tells the story of what happens next. Before the book opens, 15-year-old Welsh girl Morwenna and her twin sister fought a magical battle of wills against their twisted mother, trying to prevent her from taking great power and threatening the order of the world. The girls won, but at a great price. Morwenna, or Mori, is permanently crippled by the injuries she sustained and her sister was killed. Mori takes refuge with the father she's never known, who sends her off to a British boarding school. There, a permanent outcast due to her disability, her Welsh heritage and accent, and her great love of science fiction and fantasy novels, Mori tries to endure. She trades science fiction books with her father, makes overtures towards the local fairy, makes a handful of human friends—including the school's librarian, who encourages her reading—and finds a local sci-fi and fantasy book discussion group to join. But she knows her mother isn't done with her and will try to get to her any way she can. Despite all the magical protections Mori places around herself, another conflict with her powerful and wicked mother is building, and this time Mori is on her own.
This novel is clearly a love letter to genre fiction itself, to the writers thereof, and to every sci-fi and fantasy fan who's ever felt alienated from this world and sought refuge in another. Masterful. Highly recommended for all fans of the genre.

My Ride: 2003 330i
For SALE: SET of BILSTEIN HD SHOCKS & STRUTS (ONLY 175 miles on them)
For Sale:
Set of FOUR (4) BILSTEIN HD shocks and struts for e46.
The set has approximately 175 miles on them.
They ALSO come with a LIFETIME WARRANTY from the Bilstein factory.
F4-BE3-2697-H1 (L or R REAR)
F4-BE3-2697-H1 (L or R REAR)
A little while ago, I needed to replace the shocks and struts for my 2003 330i and instead of buying a set of SACHS direct OE replacements, I opted to purchase a set of brand new Bilstein HD shocks and struts off of eBay which cost me $600 for all four.
After driving around with them for a couple of weeks, I realized that these were much too firm for my taste and preferred the factory suspension ride that came with the car, which I purchased new. The Billy's offered a really stiff suspension compared to the OE SACHS I had been accustomed to.
After putting on approximately 175 miles, I ended up replacing them with direct SACHS OE replacements from an online BMW dealer. The SACHS ended up costing me a LOT more, but I felt the factory ride suited my ride comfort better and have been happy with them ever since.
Right now, I'm in the process of cleaning out my spare parts and would like to sell these BILSTEIN HD SHOCKS & STRUTS as a SET of FOUR. The are virtually BRAND NEW with well under 200 miles on them.
If you are serious about buying them, I can furnish paperwork reflecting the price I paid for them, including the invoice for both the BILSTEIN AND SACHS sets. I also have the repair shop invoices for the installation and removal of both sets as well. This would attest to the fact that they were indeed on the car for only a couple of weeks and replaced with SACHS from BMW. You can be assured that they are still "puppies," and please use any test method you would like, to verify that they have almost no mileage on them.
I PAID $600.00 for the set of four BRAND NEW and they have barely been used at all. They just sat around for a while and I would like to get rid of them now.
Ideally, I would like to get $350-$400 for them, but am willing to accept ANY reasonable offers. Keep in mind that they are practically NEW and also come with a LIFETIME WARRANTY. So if you need to replace them down the road, you would essentially get a brand new set. This could be the last time you ever pay for a set of shocks and struts.
I would prefer PayPal payment. As far as shipping goes, local (NYC) pick-up would be ideal, but I would be willing to ship them as well. I honestly have no idea what shipping would cost, but if its not too expensive I would be willing to cover the shipping if reasonable. However, I would most likely choose the least expensive method available.
Also, if it makes you feel more secure or confident about the integrity of the transaction, I am a local neighbor of SolidJake (e46fanatics MOD) and I'm sure he would be willing to attest or vouch anything for you, should you have any concerns. I could give him a call and have him take a look at them, etc. to verify the shocks and struts.
I can also put them up on eBay and you may purchase them from there, once we have an agreement, if you feel more secure about transacting through them.
Please post a response or PM any questions or offers.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. - Arthur Schopenhauer

Why is Pope Francis Canceling Events?
No one can argue that Pope Francis deserves a little break. Since taking office in March 2013, the 77-year-old Argentinian has been on the move almost nonstopgreeting his adoring public and reforming the Vatican's many troubled institutions.
But an announcement by the Vatican's news service on Monday that the pope will be drastically curtailing his schedule by suspending his popular Wednesday audiences in July and skipping his daily Mass at the Casa Santa Marta, where he lives, has many in Rome wondering if the pope is really OK.
Many people already have tickets for the July audiences, which implies that the decision to suspend them was spontaneous, not preplanned. Several Vatican insiders also have noted that the pope is gaining weight and breathing harder than usual, which has caused some of his close associates to warn him to slow down. "Some in the Holy See are beginning to openly discuss concerns about Francis' condition and asking if the Holy Father is overtaxing himself," longtime Vatican correspondent Edward Pentin wrote after the surprising changes to the pope's schedule.
The worries began last week, when the pope spontaneously canceled his Monday and Tuesday engagements after his historic trip to the Holy Land and Peace prayer with leaders from Israel and Palestine, sending the Vatican press corps in Rome into a minor moment of panic. This week's announcement of his amended schedule has only added to the speculation that the pope's health is suffering.
Francis, who only has one functioning lung after having part of his other lung removed due to an infection when he was younger, has been noticeably tired in recent weeks. "Close observers are noting that the Pope's physical body may be failing to keep up with his youthful energy and vigor, especially considering he only has one fully functioning lung," says Pentin.

1993 Dodge Ram 50 Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 1993 Dodge Ram 50 based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
3.0L engines may develop an excessive oil consumption issue. Blue oil smoke may be noted from the exhaust during deceleration conditions (high engine vacuum). Our technicians tell us that this condition can be caused by valve guides dropping out of position. Updated valve guides with a revised snap ring grove are available to correct this issue.
Engine oil leaks may develop from the following areas: Valve cover gaskets, cam plugs at rear of the cylinder head, cam seals, front crankshaft seal, and the oil filter bracket. Leaking seals and gaskets should be replaced. Due to mis-machining of the mating surfaces, as special gasket is required to correct the oil filter bracket leak.
On 2.4L 4 cylinder engines a whining noise may be noted when the engine is cold and the rpm is in the 1800-2000 range. Our technicians tell us that most commonly this type of noise is coming from the engine oil pump. The repair is to replace the front case assembly and both the drive and driven oil pump gears.
Carbon buildup on the top of the piston is common and increases with mileage and over time. Symptoms can vary from light ticking to hammering/knocking noises. Performing a Fuel injector cleaning service will often also remove enough carbon build up to lessen any noise concerns related this issue.
A rough idle or driveway stalling condition may occur with fault code 15 stored in the engine control module (ECM). Our technicians tell us that if the engine and ECM grounds test OK, and the throttle and idle speed control motor position sensors are functioning correctly, then adding an additional ground lead may be necessary to correct this issue.
Some engines may develop driveability concerns due to carbon built up on the intake valves. Our technicians tell us that performing a fuel injector cleaning procedure can also help to remove intake valve deposits. Extremely heavy deposits may require cylinder head removal so that the valves can be removed and cleaned with a wire brush.
The engine may develop a hesitation on acceleration. Our technicians tell us that the EGR valve back pressure tube may become plugged. In most cases cleaning the tube will correct the concern, EGR valve replacement is generally not required to correct this issue.
A low idle or stalling condition may be the result of a dirty throttle body. Our technicians recommend cleaning the throttle body at regular intervals (15k miles) to avoid this condition.
An exhaust leak and/or chirp type noise may develop from the exhaust manifold to header pipe connection. Our technicians tell us that replacing the exhaust seal ring and flange springs, along with sizing the header pipe flange will generally correct this concern.
Hard starting, long crank times, and rough idle may be noted, especially after the vehicle has been parked for a period of time. Leaking fuel injectors are a common cause for this concern.
A pinging or snapping noise may be heard from under the middle of the vehicle after the engine is turned off. Our technicians tell us that the noise may be coming from the exhaust. If that is the case the exhaust pipe extension and resonator assembly should be replaced.
A tappet/lash adjuster noise may be noted from the 3.0L engines. Our technicians tell us that proper testing of the lash adjusters should be performed before replacing any parts. A full crankcase of clean engine oil is necessary before attempting to determine if any lash adjusters are bleeding down and causing a noise concern.

Philosophy is the reflective study of values, the critical examination of the methods and results of the various disciplines, and a thoughtful encounter with questions of ultimate concern and foundational belief. Earlham's Philosophy Department serves these ends through a flexible array of courses that relate philosophy to basic human problems and a sequenced core devoted to the history of philosophy. The Department strives to maintain openness to diverse points of view, close personal contact with students, and high standards of rigorous and engaged thinking.
The Philosophy curriculum at Earlham is distinctive in its depth of coverage of the history of philosophy. The Department's emphasis on the living tradition and its continuity with contemporary movements shows that ancient philosophy is not obsolete and contemporary philosophy is not rootless. As students learn to be conversant with the ideas of the major figures of the Western tradition, they learn the vocabulary, methods, questions and standards of the discipline. At the conclusion of the four-course history sequence, majors in Philosophy spend most of their time in advanced courses and seminars examining a particular problem or the thought of a particular philosopher.
The Department's faculty members are not narrow specialists, but wide-ranging inquirers with interdisciplinary interests and skills. Their research interests include philosophies of race, postcolonial theory, feminist theories, Eastern philosophy and religion, the effectiveness of social programs, political philosophy and psychotherapy. The faculty teaches interdisciplinary courses drawing on anthropology, art, education, history, literature, politics, psychology and other natural and social sciences.
A major in Philosophy equips one to think well, both through abstract concepts and in the concrete details of everyday life. As such, it is useful for all careers, and Earlham Philosophy majors successfully pursue a wide variety of occupations and post-graduate studies. Every year, some go to graduate school in philosophy. According to HEDS data, Earlham is ranked 29th (in the 98th percentile) among 1,533 institutions of higher learning in the U.S. in the percentage of graduates who go on to receive Ph.D.s in the humanities. Many Earlham philosophy graduates go to law school or into seminary training, and many others go into secondary school teaching.
The Department offers 12 courses that fulfill the Writing Intensive Requirement, PHIL 155, 180, 230, 235, 250, 252, 310, 330, 363, 365, 375 and 382; and one course that meets the Abstract Reasoning component of the Analytical Reasoning Requirement, PHIL 130. Philosophy provides two courses that fulfill Theoretical/Historical component of The Arts Requirement, PHIL 230 and 252; five courses that fulfill the Domestic component of the Perspectives on Diversity Requirement, PHIL 243, 255, 382 and 386; and two courses that fulfill the International component of that requirement, PHIL 155 and 330. The Department also offers Earlham Seminars.
Courses with an asterisk fulfill the requirement only when the topic is appropriate. Students should check the course schedule for requirement designations.
Philosophy majors take a minimum of 10 courses designed to acquaint them with the history of Western philosophy, the branches and methods of philosophy, and a good variety of topics and contemporary problems.

Economist Presents Scary US Debt Number: $70T
(NEWSER) – If you're worried about our country's fiscal health, you may want to stop reading. A UC San Diego economics professor sees a problem area we're overlooking: "the growth of federal liabilities that are not included in the officially reported numbers." James Hamilton did the math, and claims that these off-balance-sheet federal liabilities totaled $70.1 trillion as of last year; that's six times the $11.9 trillion in US debt held by the public (ie, the reported on-balance-sheet debt), according to the Treasury Department. Here's Hamilton's breakdown of unfunded liabilities, per the San Diego Union-Tribune and the Washington Examiner:
- Medicare obligations to future retirees, $27.6 trillion
- Social Security obligations to future retirees, $26.5 trillion
- Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, and other housing commitments: $7.5 trillion

Speech by Ambassador Wittig on "Bridges to Borders"
(check against delivery)
Ladies and gentlemen,
Let me welcome you most warmly to the opening of our exhibit called "From Barriers to Bridges". I would like to extend a special welcome and sincere thanks to the Permanent Observer of the African Union to the UN, Ambassador Tete Antonio, and the Chargés d'Affaires from the Permanent Missions of Mali and Burkina Faso, Ambassador Ami Diallo and Ambassador Paul Robert Tiendrebeogo, for joining us tonight. It is in cooperation with the AU and the colleagues from Burkina Faso and Mali that we have organized this exhibition on successful border management in Africa.
Africa's long history from colonization to the independence of its nations has left a legacy of disputed borders, which continue to contribute to conflicts and suffering of people. As we all know, it was the Berlin Conference that laid in 1884 the groundwork for today's map of the African continent. The conference convened by the first German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck ushered in a period of heightened colonial activity on the part of the European powers, while simultaneously eliminating most existing forms of African autonomy and self-governance.
It is against this backdrop that the African Union Borger Program, which is at the core of this exhibit, cannot be overestimated. Initiated in 2007, the program aims to demarcate borders, increase regional integration, facilitate cross-border cooperation and develop institutional capacities.
Germany fully supports this program and contributes substantially to it through its German African Border Project. Our project is implemented by the German Technical Cooperation GTZ. It is currently active in six countries in East and West Africa where it supports the establishment and demarcation of borders and the promotion of border cooperation.
The border between Mali and Burkina Faso was the first to be established with the support of the project. In January 2010 the demarcation was finalized with the setting of the last border stone. Furthermore, the project strived to strengthen cross-border cooperation. Both elements are shown in the exhibition.
With their commitment to the demarcation process and cross-border cooperation Mali and Burkina Faso have set an extraordinary example. They have literally lived up to a process that led from barriers to bridges.
Also because of these experiences Germany will continue to support the African Union Border Program. I would like to encourage partners to also actively support the AU's efforts, which we consider to be a milestone in the AU's commitment to peace building on the African continent.
Before inviting you now to enjoy the exhibition I would like to give the floor to Ambassador Tete Antonio.
Thank you.

This is the showerhead used by five-star resort spas for its power, water-saving technology, and durability. Using the Venturi principle of fluid mechanics, the showerhead has 16 air vents that inject oxygen into the chamber, displacing some of the water as a three-fin turbine accelerates water velocity through a narrow channel before the water exits the showerhead, resulting in increased pressure while using 30% - 70% less water than a standard showerhead. Manufactured using acetal-resin engineering plastic, renowned as a low-friction and wear-resistant metal substitute, the showerhead will neither clog nor corrode, ensuring a lifetime of optimal water flow. The spray dynamics have a comfort-control feature that adjusts to achieve a soft mist or massaging spray and uses 1/2" plumbing. Handheld Showerhead. With a 360� pivoting head, four adjustable stream settings, and instructions for easy installation. Available in Chrome. 9" L x 5" W x 4 1/2" D. (1 lb.)

Satisfied despite price
By Tom who now enjoys taking showers
from Albany, NY
The difference between this shower head & my old one is like night & day I'm very pleased with this product.
A nifty showerhead adjusting to your day
By Cher
from Mundare,Alberta
The head can be adjusted to concentrate on a knotted muscle or sore area with precision. A good purchase
Does the job
By Steve
from Quebec, Canada
The showerhead does the job of boosting pressure from what it was before. My only criticism is the quality does not appear very robust and the hose to the portable shower head does not hang straight. These however are fairly minor problems.
Great Showerhead!
By M & F
from Cincinnati, Oh.
We purchased this showerhead just over a year ago as our water pressure was very low, and we were hopeful that this would improve the shower experience. It certainly did! Both my wife and I loved it. We moved to a new home with quite high water pressure, and still love it. The spray adjustment quit working, and we exchanged it for a new one which we love just as much, and have recommended it to a number of friends.

when you say the adapter disconnects what do you mean, and what are you using them both for? Ive used up to 3 usb or pcmcia devices at a time and haven't had a problem, i might be some help if you could specify
Is it not possible to use two atheros adapters (netgear wn111n and tplink wn722n) in backtrack4? Every time I try to connect the second one the other adapter automatically disconnects. I have searched and cannot find a similar problem anywhere. Many thanks for any assistance you can give.
Ok seeing as I can't bump or repost this I'll edit and hope to get a response. I have searched for the last two weeks on many forums, google etc using every search parameter that I can think of and still have not found a similar problem. Either I have missed the bleeding obvious (to which I humbly apologise if this is the case), the question was considered stupid or I have actually stumbled upon a problem that even the gurus can't answer (highly unlikely). I am not a linux noob but I am a BT noob. In five years I have asked two questions on linux forums so it's not as if I'm a serial pest. If I have missed the post that has the answer could someone at least hint. Thankyou.

Come hang out with hackers on twitter @gunrunr556
Hi gunrnr. Thanks for your response. I am using BT4 with VM and was using the WN111 v2 for wireless connection. I bought a TP-LINK TL-WN722N to use for pentesting as it is the only one here with external antenna. However, strangely when I disconnect from host it will connect to BT but instantly the WN111 will disconnect from BT and reconnect to host. Whilst this isn't an "issue" as such I haven't been able to find out why. I have several other(non atheros) adapters and as you point out there is no problem with running these together. Sadly I'm just an old info junkie that just has to know the answers.
Haven't found this problem anywhere on the net using dozens of different search parameters. Any info on who or where might shed some light on this would be great.
Again, thankyou for responding to my query.
Well that sounds more like a VM issue than a BT issue from the info you gave.
You could try if you could connect both of those adapters to a non BT VM and see what happens then.

I would assume this has something to do with the fact that this is a live CD (I have BT4 installed on a USB with 'save changes'), but my real question is that I want to change the resolution to something higher, how do I accomplish this?
I've tried running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg & it generates an xorg.conf file, but it's very minimal.
How can I tell if the system using Xorg.conf-vesa instead & if not, how can I make it use that file?
This will probably be viewed as a stupid question, but I've googled various tutorials on changing the display settings in Ubuntu & none seem to quite match up with what I am seeing here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks much!
I tried running 'fixvesa' to copy xorg.conf-vesa to xorg.conf and when I attempt to start the xserver again I get a parse error on line 87 of xorg.conf which states 'RgbPatch is not a valid keyword in this section' & then 'Fatal server error: No screens found'.
Any thoughts?
