Assembled upon delivery via White Glove Service. View assembly instructions for the headboard and bed frame.
Spot clean. Dust and vacuum often headboard, using a crevice tool in seams. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight. Although leather is resistant to fading, direct prolonged exposure to the sun will cause any material to fade. Keep leather furniture at least 12" away from radiators and other heat sources this will help prevent the leather from drying and possibly cracking. Avoid excessive rubbing. Blot any remaining soap residue with a clean cloth dampened only with clear distilled water. Blot until dry, repeating as necessary. Contact a professional leather cleaning service for more difficult stains. Never use harsh cleaners, chemicals or saddle soap. The use of any commercial leather cleaners other than those recommended may cause damage to the finish. Before using any type of cleaner, always test-clean on a hidden area.

Your gift to help a hardworking entrepreneur will double in impact thanks to a generous World Vision partner.
Peter is from Kenya. He has 2 children. He needs a loan of $250 to purchase more veterinary medicines.
Peter is from Kenya. He has 2 children. He needs a loan of $250 to purchase more veterinary medicines.
Peter lives in Dikir, Kenya where he owns a small shop selling veterinary medicines. He has requested a loan from World Vision in order to purchase enough stock to meet his clients' demands. With the additional income he earns, Peter will be able to better provide for his family.
Retail is a quick and scalable way to begin earning a profit. Many entrepreneurs begin with stalls at markets or even at home and need a loan to expand or increase their inventory. Others may be ready to open a small store. Goods purchased from loan funds range from clothing, grocery or sundry items to jewelry, candy, perfume or health and beauty supplies. Loans in the commerce sector account for around 33% of our loans.
Kirindon is located in the southern part of Kenya, approximately 250 miles west of Nairobi. The region has an estimated population of 56,200 people. Agriculture and cattle rearing are the two main economic activities—approximately 65 percent of the land is communally owned.
The AIDS pandemic has heavily affected Kenyans who inhabit Kirindon. The HIV prevalence rate in the community is nearly 15 percent whereas it is only 6.1 percent in the rest of Kenya. Children are most affected, many dropping out of school to care for younger siblings or sick parents. Some resort to exploiting child labor to provide household income.
An impoverished community, Kirindon has been severely lacking in access to clean drinking water and proper sanitation. World Vision has focused on water, sanitation and hygiene projects. There is now increased access to clean, sustainable water; latrines with hand-washing facilities; and trainings on good hygiene practices and water resource management. Access to clean water has improved school attendance since children do not have to go far to collect water. And villagers have more time to be with their families and attend church services.
Other accomplishments include constructing and equipping classrooms, distributing mosquito nets to children, providing medical check-ups for children, and supporting orphaned and vulnerable children with school uniforms, vocational training, and life skills training.
Thank you for supporting the small loan for Peter Cheruiyot to improve his veterinary pharmacy business. He invested his loan of $250 to purchase more veterinary medicines for his business.
Peter has now repaid his loan in full. In addition to repaying his loan, Peter has used his additional income to expand his current business and buy supplies in bulk.
The loan Peter received helped his business expand and the profits he is earning is creating lasting improvements in his life. In the future, Peter hopes to continue to send his two children to school and expand his current business.
Thank you for your support of Peter and World Vision Micro. These funds are now being recycled to support another eager entrepreneur in the same community.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- IBT Media, an international digital-only news company, announced Saturday that it had reached an agreement with IAC ( IACI), a media and Internet company, to purchase Newsweek for an undisclosed price. Newsweek, the 80-year-old magazine that switched to digital only production in conjunction with the Daily Beast at the beginning of this year, was being shopped around by Barry Diller, chairman and senior executive of IAC, after he said earlier this year that he regretted the November 2010 purchase of the title. The deal is "expected to close in the coming days," according to a news release, and provides for a 60-day transition period. The Daily Beast is not part of the transaction. "We are thrilled to welcome this iconic brand and global news property into our portfolio," Etienne Uzac, co-founder and CEO of IBT Media, said in a statement. "We believe in the Newsweek brand and look forward to growing it, fully transformed to the digital age. We respect the brand's long history of delivering high-quality, impactful journalism and believe this aligns well with IBT Media's culture and mission. We look forward to working together to create a profitable and successful enterprise." Rhona Murphy, interim CEO of the Newsweek Daily Beast Co., posted a statement on the Daily Beast website saying, "We believe IBT will serve as an excellent new home in which Newsweek has the opportunity to thrive." IBT Media owns 10 international online news properties, including the International Business Times, Medical Daily, Latin Times and iDigitalTimes.

F06 Gran Coupe (2013 - Current)
BMW's entrance into the 4 door coupe segment to go head to head with the Audi A7 and MB CLS
|Thread Tools
|Display Modes
BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe Voted Best Design Innovation by Auto, Motor and Sport Readers
With their expressive and unmistakeable design, BMW's latest new models convince not only juries of experts at renowned competitions, but also the general public. Latest example of this is BMW's double victory in the readers' survey conducted by the trade magazine "auto, motor und sport". In the vote for the best design innovations 2012, the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe and the new BMW 3 Series Sedan each attained a top position in their respective vehicle segment. As a result, both models are now being honored with the "autonis" award presented by "auto, motor und sport". "We are very happy to receive the awards for the new BMW 3 Series and the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe. Such a positive feedback from our customers and friends of the BMW brand is truly a major acknowledgement of our work and gives us the encouragement to continue approaching the design of our vehicles with the deepest commitment and passion," comments Karim Habib, head of BMW Design.
In the case of the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe, the venture into a new vehicle segment is accompanied by a fascinating combination of aesthetics, dynamics and luxurious flair. The brand's first 4-door coupe boasts its very own product personality, reflecting elegant styling and exclusiveness both in the interior and on the outside. Likewise, the new BMW 3 Series Sedan immediately underscores its position as a sporty 4-door saloon car at very first glance. The both dynamic and elegant contours and the unmistakeable front end with headlight assemblies extending to the BMW kidney grille give clear indication of even greater driving pleasure that can be experienced with the sixth generation of the world's most widely sold premium automobile.
The aesthetic appeal achieved by each award-winner in its individual way is the result of the features that define the design of BMW automobiles. The brand identity of every BMW is reflected in its proportions, these symbolizing elegant sportiness above all with a long bonnet, short overhangs, a long wheelbase and a set back passenger cell. The model-specific character is created by complexly modeled, powerfully stretched surfaces structured by precisely defined lines. Thanks to a unique interpretation of the surface design and detailed accents, each respective model becomes an unmistakeable product personality.
More than 14,500 readers and online users participated in the poll to determine "the best design innovations of the year". They judged the appearance of 102 new models launched during the past twelve months. Overall victory in two categories went to BMW's latest models. The BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe proved to be the public's upper-range favorite, whilst participants voted the BMW 3 Series Sedan the most attractive new middle-class model.
Both models had previously already received awards in well-known design competitions. The BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe is one of the winners of the "red dot award 2012" for outstanding product design, in which the new BMW 3 Series Sedan also received an "honorable mention". In the "Automotive Brand Contest" held by the "Design Council", both new models received an award in the category "interior". Moreover, the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe also convinced the jury comprising experts from the areas of design, media, brand communication and science in the "exterior" category. Consequently, both models are also nominated for the "Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany".

Brevard, N.C.- Catawba's Reggie Perkins scored a career-high 27 points to help the Indians to a 71-63 win over the Brevard College Tornados in Boshamer Gymnasium on Wednesday night.
The Tornados had closed the gap to a point with a 7-2 run with just over six minutes remaining in the game, capped by a Gerel Simmons layup with 6:07 remaining in the second half.
Perkins, however, answered with a trey to spark an 8-0 run for the Indians to keep the Tornados rally at bay. Perkins finished 9-for-10 from the floor, including 7-of-8 from three-point range after hitting his first seven shots to start the game.
The Indians took advantage of an 8:33 Tornado scoring drought in the first half, scoring 16 unanswered points to take a 26-10 lead on a Perkins jumper with 7:51 left before the half.
Alex Moe hit a pair of free throws at 5:19 to end the drought, and BC was able to work their halftime deficit down to 10 thanks to an 11-5 run to end the first half.
Freshman Manzey Miller led the BC scoring effort with 17 points while distributing five assists. Moe, Miles Leathers and Simmons all finished in double figures with 13, 12 and 11, respectively. Simmons grabbed a team-high seven rebounds.
The Tornados are on the road on Saturday as they visit Stanford Arena for a contest with the Mars Hill College Lions. The Tornados earned their lone conference win against the Lions in a 91-90 thriller in Boshamer Gymnasium on December 1st. Simmons hit the game-winning three as time expired in regulation to lift BC.

Along the Road
Although Aldous Huxley is now best known for his famous sci-fi novel, 'Brave New World', he lived such a varied life that he is always an interesting biographer. 'Along The Road' covers the experiences and sights of his time on continental Europe as he lived in Italy in the 1920s, and France in the '30s and travelled extensively. (Similarly, when he lived in California he wrote 'Beyond the Mexique Bay', which about the wilds of Central America.) This boo...

The impressions of the people he meets represent the judgments that f...
Eyeless in Gaza
Eyeless in Gaza is the story of Anthony Beavis and his circle of friends and acquaintances, from childhood to mid adulthood, mainly in the first decades of the twentieth century. The storyline is non-sequential, with the events shuffled, so that each chapter picks up the strand at a different point in the characters' lives. Anthony Beavis, as a boy loses his mother and is raised by a comically pedantic father who delights in etymology--fascinating to...

The Genius and the Goddess
Aldous Huxley, 1894-1963, a contemporary of C.S. Lewis, brother of Sir Julian Huxley, and grandson of the famous T.H. Huxley, took a first in English at Balliol College, Oxford. He is now best known for his science fiction oriented future vision, 'Brave New World'. In this short novel, a tale of love and desire published in 1955, he displays his outstanding ability in dialogue as two older men recount their relationship with the genius-professor of q...

Sebastian Barnack, the youthful protagonist in Aldous Huxley's Time Must Have a Stop, is a gifted poet in his teens. He is also uncommonly handsome, with an angelic face framed with curls. He despises his sweet baby faced looks, and their contrast with the serious, poetical genius he regards himself, rightly, to be. His father is a comically dour, stern, uncompromising lawer who espouses socialist politics, and secretly resents Sebastion's resemblenc...

Rep Todd Akin is far from the only conservative to suggest women rarely get pregnant from rape. He's not even the first lawmaker to make the assertion (which flies in the face of medical evidence).
A search of news archives by TPM shows a short history of Republican politicians espousing the idea of a biological defense against pregnancy in cases of rape, though there's little consistency in their explanations of how such a mechanism works.
In 1988, Stephen Freind, a state representative in Delaware, defended his no-exceptions anti-abortion stance — as Akin was doing Sunday — by claiming that it was virtually impossible for a woman who is raped to become pregnant.
"The odds are one in millions and millions and millions," Freind said in a debate in March of that year. "And there is a physical reason for that."
Freind said that women possess a "certain secretion" that kills sperm.
"Rape, obviously, is a traumatic experience. When that traumatic experience is undergone, a woman secretes a certain secretion, which has a tendency to kill sperm."
Freind promised to provide scientific documentation of his theory and told a cheering crowd later that month, "If you're expecting me to back off, the answer is no."
Seven years later, a state legislator in North Carolina championed the same theory. Henry Aldridge, a Republican state representative, argued for the elimination of a public fund to help poor women pay for abortions by using a similar argument.
"The facts show that people who are raped — who are truly raped — the juices don't flow, the body functions don't work and they don't get pregnant," Aldridge told the House Appropriations Committee. "Medical authorities agree that this is a rarity, if ever."
Aldridge was addressing the committee to apologize for "earlier remarks implying that victims of rape or incest are sexually promiscuous," according to an Associated Press report at the time.
Aldridge, like Freind, did not back down. "To get pregnant, it takes a little cooperation. And there ain't much cooperation in a rape," he said.
In 1998, Republican Arkansas state Rep. Fay Boozman botched his own Senate bid against Sen. Blanche Lincoln when he said at a rally that pregnancy resulting from rape was rare. He denied having used the phrase "God's little shield," according to the Washington Post.

The magnifier works just fine. However, the area magnified is small. It is so small, that the mouse-like scanner must be moved when reading even a single sentence in a single paragraph of a one column article in a newspaper. That characteristic is an annoyance at the very least, and makes it difficult to keep track of where you are on a single newspaper page. If one raises the scanner above the page to get a larger view, the entire scan goes out of focus. So, one is stuck with a smal area scanned even though it reads perfectly on the TV screen, one half a sentence at a time.

Like an electronic miracle
By EZN47

I purchased this for my mom, who is losing her eyesight to macular degeneration. She is 75, so her learning curve can be extreme, especially with 'electronic gadgets'. This was very easy to set up, and she took to it like a duck to water. Now she can continue to read all the things she hadn't been able to for a while. I've tried other products for her, but this one is definitely the best.

Product did not suit our needs
By Peggy
from Merritt Island, FL
We wanted to use the magnifier in home office, but could not set it up on the TV in there. Did manage to set it up in sun room, but found the amount of the page magnified was too small--only a word or two at a time, making reading a whole book (or even a page) very tedious. The gadget is a great idea, but needs to give more reading area.

This has been the best gift I was able to get for my Dad who wouldn't be able to read his newspaper without this visual aide. When the first one broke I went and bought 2 more just in case the second one broke. I didn't realize that there was a life time guarantee until the 2nd one broke and it was replaced. The joy my Dad has using the machine is priceless so even if you didn't have the life time guarentee I would still purchase to keep my Dad happy,

USA TODAY unveils redesigned newspaper, website, apps
USA TODAY unveiled today new designs for its newspaper, website and mobile apps in time for its 30th anniversary this weekend.
The complete overhaul of the newspaper is designed to showcase USA TODAY's prowess in visual storytelling and bring "stronger voices" to its stories. The new logo reflects "the pulse of the nation," the company says in a statement.
The redesigned newspaper will be distributed starting Friday and the USATODAY.com beta site will go live over the weekend of Sept. 15th with a full launch later this fall.
"We are making a real investment in USA TODAY, and putting a major focus on reinvigorating the value of print media while introducing new digital products," says Larry Kramer, president and publisher of USA TODAY. "We want to provide our readers with a unique perspective and relevant context on a full range of issues, across all mediums. We are revolutionizing the way we cover and distribute the news in relevant ways that inform and entertain our readers."
Gannett, the parent company of USA TODAY, launched the newspaper on Sept. 15, 1982, with the mission of providing news and information that was clear, concise and presented largely without opinion or unsubstantiated analysis. Its heavy integration of graphics and color photos in the pages, which was controversial at the time of the launch, went on to influence many U.S. and foreign newspapers to inject more style and color into their products.
The new look of USA TODAY is designed to take "visual storytelling to the next level" by displaying more color, photos and infographics, USA TODAY says. The States page will contain photos for the first time, while the Weather page will sport a cleaner look.
USA TODAY's new logo -- a large circle in colors corresponding to to the sections -- will be an infographic that changes with the news, containing a photo or image that represents key stories of the day.
Under Kramer and Editor-in-Chief David Callaway, both of whom joined the company this year, USA TODAY will increase the amount of original reporting in its pages and host more videos produced by the more than 5,000 journalists at USA TODAY and other Gannett properties.
The look and functionality of all digital platforms -- the website, tablet app, new Facebook app and new mobile apps -- also have been overhauled to facilitate bigger images and graphic-driven stories while presenting them in "a fun, engaging" way, the company says.
The web and tablet platform will also feature live video coverage, interactive weather mapping and more instant analysis and commentary. New user-control features will make customizing the pages easier for consumers.
"The redesign highlights stronger voices and further cements USA TODAY's status as one of the nation's premier news outlets that continues to reflect the American experience," Kramer says. "We are America's newspaper and we take that responsibility seriously."
Gannett shares were up 11 cents to $17.25 in midday trading Thursday and have risen more than 30% in the past three months.

|When breakfast looks this pretty
|Sweet bunch of mixed posies
|Changing colour of leaves
|Sunshine after the rain
Nothing exciting happening lately, which gives me more time to notice the beauty in little things. I've been finding joy in breakfast served on pretty plates, a lovely bright bunch of mixed posies. Watching the leaves change colour seems to be a new pastime of mine and I'm starting to appreciate the sunshine much more after a torrential rain.
What things are making you happy lately?

Review Alabama A&M University
So far my experience at Alabama A&M University hasn't been all that great. Some things that I would like to see change would be the time dinner is served and when it ends. It starts at 4pm and ends at 6pm. I like to see that change to 4pm and ends at 8pm. Some students still have class at 6pm. They would not be able to be at dinner during that time. Also another thing I would like to see change would be food location on the weekends. On campus there are two cafeterias. One at the boys dorm and one at the girls dorm. Each are open during breakfast and lunch, but only the girls dorm is open for dinner. That should not be the case. That means that the boys have to go all the way across campus to get dinner on the weekends. That is a very far walk. If they serve breakfast and lunch they should also serve dinner as well. Last thing I have a problem with is the internet. IT IS VERY SLOW! I would like to see that change. Those are my problems/experiences with Alabama A&M University.
College is whatever you wish to make it, however this school can be a hit or miss and oftentimes something of unnecessary stress. If you're wanting to focus solely on academics and fell supported by the various colleges the consistency is lackadaisical. The major that I was in was one of the hardest to complete, yet the staff was not the most supportive, lacked passion, unenthusiastic, unprofessional, and late. The technology was outdate, the building we were in was renovated on one side, but completely outdate on the other. It wasn't until graduating that there was an update to our curriculum, dropping unnecessary courses, but we were still working with outdate tools. Unless your family's history with this school runs deep, I would suggest going to University of Ala. Huntsville where you're given more programs and opportunities.
Alabama A&M University is an overall adequate institution with a satisfactory academics program. The majority of the faculty is friendly and try to assist in any way they can. There are many different clubs and organizations to join and the campus is absolutely beautiful and historic. Many different events take place on campus in order to enhance the overall student experience and encourage the students to get involved. There are also many parties locally, a nice shopping mall not too far from the campus, and a park that is walking distance from the school. There are many things, however, that need to be changed in regards to the quality of the dormitories and the overall safety of the students. The dorms are not in the best shape, and most of the time it is because of the negligence of the students. Also, with it being an open campus, anyone is able to drive and/or walk onto campus without being suspicious. The only advice that can be given is to make the best of it and excel.

The Great Depression
Pictures & Records
Add your story…
Bank Runs
After the stock market crash on Black Tuesday, October 29, 1929, frightened depositors rushed to banks to claim their savings. These "bank runs" actually accelerated bank closures across the country. For every bank that closed, hundreds of people lost their life savings. This photo of a bank run in New York displays the public panic the stock market crash created. In response, many banks across the country set up regulations for how much an individual could withdraw per day. Banks tried to stay afloat, and with President Roosevelt's "Bank Holiday" on March 6, 1933, banks were able to finally start recovering from the damages of the Great Crash. Restoring confidence in the American banking system became Roosevelt's first priority in his plan to fix the economic depression of the 1930s.

I see many test strategy documents in my work with clients. Almost without exception, they are big—fifty or more pages—and stuffed with soporific boilerplate copied from one project to the next. Defect management process, test suspension and resumption criteria, entry and exit criteria, meaningless generic risks ... yawn ... again. One frequently used model even parrots textbook test definitions, from unit to systems integration to load.
I have several problems with test documents like these. In many organizational cultures, mandatory documents become confused with the things they are supposed to represent. A test strategy document is not a test strategy; it's a document. It might or might not serve to communicate a strategy. The bigger and heavier a document is and the more replicated content it contains, the lower the likelihood it will convey anything important that people can take meaning from. In reality, the central ideas in most genuine test strategies can be expressed effectively in a couple of diagrams or a page or two of clear prose.
There's a more basic problem. A big test strategy document rarely contains an actual strategy. That leads me to ask if, as testers, we really understand what "strategy" means.
I'll come back to the documentation issues a little later. For now, let's acknowledge that you need to communicate your test strategy to project stakeholders in some way and negotiate their agreement.
First principles—What Is a Test Strategy?
A strategy is the overarching direction or design of a campaign, whether that's a marketing campaign, a football season, or a campaign of war.
A test strategy is the set of big-picture ideas embodying the overarching direction or design of a test effort. It's the significant values that will inspire, influence and ultimately drive your testing, and the overall decisions you have made about ways and means of delivering on those values.
Note that was "overall" decisions. A strategy is not a detailed plan. It's the design behind the plan that you, as a skilled tester, have thought about and developed.
Overarching Direction
Learning about the product and project, you develop ideas about how to test. What approaches are you going to use, and what potential test design do you already have in mind?
It's unlikely you'll be able to test everything in every way and to the same level of rigor. An essential strategy decision, therefore, is how to draw the boundaries for coverage and on what basis. (This is probably the most important element for stakeholders to understand.)
For example, will you prioritize coverage and types of testing based on risk? What do you mean by risk, and how will you identify and assess risks that could be mitigated by testing?
Who are your stakeholders? What does product quality mean to them in practical terms? How do they characterize the value they expect to get from the product? Not all stakeholders are equal—in most organizations, the concerns of some are more important than those of others. Organizations and individuals differ in their appetite for risk and their perception of what constitutes risk. These are critical considerations in determining what your test will cover and how.
Overarching facts, principles, and beliefs may drive test priorities or severely constrain the test. For example:
- This product will be used by emergency services. People could die or suffer serious injury as a result of product bugs. Ease of use is critical for some features; others must produce fast and accurate results with no tolerance level for error.
- The product is strategic to the business. Threats to the publicly advertised launch date will be catastrophic to the company's reputation and share price.
- The product will operate within a strictly regulated environment. Certain types of bugs could result in prosecution of the company's executives.
- The product is a website that will be hit on a specific date by thousands of users in an event-based marketing campaign. If it crashes or crawls, your company's name will be mud and it will lose its biggest, most prestigious supplier.

One thread per topic is enough. Re-read the rules you agreed to, and to see why your posts do not instantly show up.
With help of this forum I've managed to get Backtrack 3 (final) installed in VMware-workstation(6.5.1 b.126130). Getting VMware-tools installed was a bit harder (problems with kernel etc..) but after reading numerous threads on this forum I got it to work! Then I had to install the driver for the WUSB54GC wifi-dongle. I followed the next steps:
bt ~ # cd rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.1/Module
bt Module # make
bt Module # make install
bt Module # cd
bt ~ # modprobe rt73
It seems to be working , but I've read that the WUSB54GC works "out of the box" with Backtrack, how can I see/check what driver (version) is used (is there a command to show installed drivers)?
Thanks for reading!
One thread per topic is enough. Re-read the rules you agreed to, and to see why your posts do not instantly show up.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track

Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
Thank you for your quick reply!
I've tried your given code:
bt ~ # airdriver-ng loaded
Found following stacks loaded (as module):
Found following drivers loaded (as module):
31. Ralink rt73 (legacy)
The second one I didn't understand, when typing modinfo <module>
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token 'newline'
The outcome didn't make clear what driver version is loaded. I was hoping that i would see the driver info like: rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.1
Maybe Im doing something wrong..... (i'm new to linux, so i've got to learn a lot!)
My friend,
please try to learn some basic linux stuff before you post. Google and man command are your friends.
Code:man modinfo
Thank you for your help!

I have a Lenovo E520 with Intel Centrino Wireless-n 1000 too.
I think it might be that which is the problem not the drivers.
Confirmation would be great!
Hello everyone I am new to backtrack 5 but very interested in using the WEP cracking features I have seen on so many youtube videos. I downloaded the 64bit ISO from the backtrack 5 website and used UNebootin to install the ISO on my flash drive. When I boot it from the flash drive and run the command airmon-ng it shows no interface. I did do alot of research and tried alot of different options I found on this forum but I am assuming this issue is occuring because I do not have the proper linux driver for my wifi card installed. So my question is where can I get the driver and how do I install it? I am pretty new to linux so I appreciate everyones help thank you in advance!

I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.
Did you started the wicd services and dhclient has ben run after startx?...Check that first.
if you do not do so, no interfaces will be present.
If interface is shown, run airomon-ng and see if interfece was mapped in mon0..
Then run airodump-ng mon0 or the virtual iface mapped for your iface (wlan0, eth1, etc).
If you did all this and still not working, you might need the Intel Wireless Link for A, G and N networks (iwlang)and the newer compat-wireless tools for what I understand...If need to compile, which I think you will need to do so, you also will need the headers (linux-headers-xxx), gcc, make, etc.. (install build-essentials will install them for you: gcc, make, fakeroot, etc).
I leave this link and follow as instructed...http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?...st_card_to_buy
Read it complete. And refer to the section: IntelChipset Comments, at the middle of page.
Honestly, I do not know if this has been done by BT5 already.
Hope it helps...

"Maybe we need a new category other than theism, atheism or agnosticism that takes paradox and unknowing into account," he writes.
But his theism does clarify some of the tension between his work and popular atheism.
It passes from apparent atheism and materialism to theism, polytheism, and spiritualism.
theism is the easiest of all religions to get, but the most difficult to keep.
At Magdeburg he did much to demolish the remains of theism in the Free-religious communities.
It is theism, in its purest as in its impurest shape, that the writer condemns.
The inquiry we propose will have a great collateral advantage, both to him who doubts and to him who accepts theism.
In work after work dealing with theism one looks in vain for some definition of "God."
Hume and Holbach had much in common intellectually, although the latter was far more thoroughgoing in his repudiation of theism.
In all discussions of theism there is one point that is usually overlooked.
"belief in a deity," 1670s; see theist. Meaning "belief in one god" (as opposed to polytheism) is recorded from 1711.

Category:Common Idioms
A coding idiom is a solution to a commonly occurring programming problem. In a sense all recipes are idioms, but we use the term here for those recipes that apply to many different tasks. In Erlang many patterns, such as object oriented programming, become idioms as we can express these patterns directly in code using functions and macros.
A seminal work in Object Oriented Programming is the so-called "Gang of Four" book, Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software. In the late 1990's, Peter Norvig argued that 16 of the 23 patterns in the Design Patterns book are simplified or eliminated in dynamic languages, such as Lisp or Erlang.
Hopefully, with the aid of the recipes in this section, you will soon be building robust, efficient, and understandable modules in Erlang.
General Concepts
Erlang programs are typically structured and built quite differently than many other languages. The major differences can be summarized in a few bullet points, which I here link to important papers exploring these ideas in more depth.
- Let It Fail -- The design of reliable systems, considering that the language implementations and runtimes are typically incorrect themselves, requires a new way of approaching software design. See also Hardcoding_Expectations.
- Everything Is An Erlang Process -- Model the natural parts of a problem as independent, communicating processes. In short, "Think Massively Parallel".
- Trust No One -- Erlang processes share no data, and only interact by exchanging Erlang messages.

Oh my! You should smell the wisteria in bloom at my house! I have them growing on an arbor between my house and one of my garage, so every time I walk in and out of the house, I have the distinct pleasure of the most magnificent scent you can ever imagine. I love the scent of lilacs, which have already bloomed, but there's something very unique and beautiful about wisteria.
Speaking of flowers, the irises are sure lovely this year. While we have a good share of the new varieties, I have a particular passion for those old irises like Grandma used to grow. Not only are they so pretty, but they bring back lots of memories.
It's difficult to believe we have already turned the page to June. Wow! I hope you have a fun summer planned. Keep in mind nearly every village/town in Bureau County and beyond have summer festivals. A lot of time, energy, money and people are involved in these events, so please mark your calendars. We'll do our part too. Call the BCR newsroom to keep us posted on all your summertime events, and we'll let readers know all the details.
Our Illinois Valley Living magazine — Summer 2014 edition is in its final stages. Watch for it near the end of the month. We have some really fun and interesting stories ready for you, plus our fantastic photography.
It's just about time to begin the nomination process for our second annual Women of Distinction Award. Watch the BCR for further details. In the mean time, think about the women in your life who have made a difference in the lives of others. Are they a Woman of Distinction?
Lots of great news in the BCR last week. Here are a few items that caught my attention
• I've been seeing all the folks retiring from our area schools. There are quite a few people leaving their respective school districts this year. On behalf of the BCR, let me say how proud we are of you for all your efforts in the education of our county's youth.
• I absolutely love the idea of the People's Garden, located outside the Princeton Public Library. What a neat project, and kudos to Perry Memorial Hospital for allowing it on their property and the city of Princeton for the use of city water to keep it growing. A big round of applause to all the volunteers as well.
• Congratulations to Reagan Middle School student Andrew Albrecht, who drew the winning design for the new Bureau County official seal that will be used on all Bureau County documents and records. Way to go Kami Hieronymus for having the idea to let our area students compete in a contest to create that design, and a big high five all the students/teachers/schools who competed in the contest.
• A well-deserved congratulations also to the BCR's own Sam Fisher, who accepted the publisher's position at Sauk Valley Media, the Dixon Telegraph, the Ogle County Newspapers and Prairie Advocate, in conjunction with the BCR, the Putnam County Record and the Tonica News.
• A big round of applause to the Princeton Community Band, which opened its season Sunday evening at Soldiers and Sailors Park. Director Jim Jones does a bang-up job, and I also applaud the musicians who come from near and far to participate.
It looks like Festival 56 is gearing up for another great summer season. Watch for an upcoming story on their 2014 season in the BCR.
Thought for the week: "Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it well and serenely." Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Father's Day is just around the corner. Please try to shop locally. Have a great week. Take deep breaths ... exhale. And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR.

Your surgical technologists and perioperative nurses play a vital role on your operating room team. Acknowledge how much your medical facility and patients depend on their professionalism and commitment to safe patient care, and recognize their teamwork and dedication by presenting these outstanding professionals with distinctive, budget-friendly gifts featuring our exclusive theme, Operating Room Team: Always On The Cutting Edge. Don't forget to thank Emergency Room Nurses who make every second count.
Celebrate your cutting-edge operating room team and surgical staff and acknowledge a job well done with must-have recognition gifts they're sure to appreciate. You'll find all you need to plan a memorable celebration for both Surgical Technologists Week and Perioperative Nurse Week, and to compliment your team for their commitment to patient care and safe practices.
Hand out rewards and incentives displaying our exclusive theme, Operating Room Team: Always On The Cutting Edge. This message, chosen with the help of healthcare professionals, makes a terrific gift any time of year. We also offer more great themes that will motivate and inspire them, including Superheroes In Scrubs and It Takes A Team To Provide Excellent Care. And don't forget our boldly designed event posters, which you can display throughout your facility to get everyone excited about your celebrations.
We offer appreciation gifts that your entire surgical team will use and value, including lunch bags, water bottles, power banks and mobile chargers, tote bags, and more.

You can also present everyone with retractable badge holders featuring messages of appreciation that are always on display. Whatever you're looking for, Positive Promotions is here to help you thank and reward your team, while also helping you stretch your budget.
Surgical Technologists Week is a great opportunity to promote the members of your surgical team and educate the community about the vital role they play in the operating room. It began in 1984 as a resolution adopted by the Association of Surgical Technologists' Board of Directors, and has become an event that thanks all surgical technologists and shows support for their valuable services.
Perioperative Nurse Week is a time to recognize and honor perioperative nurses for their important role and commitment to safe patient care. In 1979, to promote consumer education and public knowledge, the Association of Perioperative Registered Nurses (AORN) designated OR Nurse Day in November, later expanded to OR Nurse Week. In 2000, the event was changed to Perioperative Nurse Week, in order to more accurately reflect the wide spectrum of patient care services provided by perioperative nurses to their surgical patients.

The Boy Who Howled
Reading Level: Grades 4 - 6
Callum's father keeps looking at him like he wants to eat him, literally eat him. This isn't all that odd, since his father is a wolf and Callum is a soft furless salty-tasting definitely not wolf pup. Unfortunately he is also approaching adolescence which means that he MIGHT want to make a challenge for the Alpha or Beta male position, so to protect him his mother brings him a school uniform and leaves him at the edge of the woods so that he can go live with his own kind. This fun book is full of misunderstandings and coincidences and will appeal to anyone who enjoys fantastic realism novels like Hoot by Carl Hiaasen.

While P.J. Stock predictably characterized the Canadiens as "a team in trouble", Martin listed the Canadiens' core assets: Carey Price in goal, P.K. Subban and Josh Gorges on defence, the David Desharnais forward line … i.e. the six guys who start every game for Martin's successor, Randy Cunneyworth.
Martin also mentioned a healthy Andrei Markov, Rapahel Diaz and Alexei Emelin, a line of Tomas Plekanec, Brian Gionta and a new winger and promising youngsters in Lars Eller and Louis Leblanc.
"The team has to add pieces," Martin concluded. "But the key elements are in place."
Martin, who was general manager of the Florida Panthers before Bob Gainey lured him north to coach the Canadiens, also suggested he'd like to be interviewed by Serge Savard for the vacant GM's position. He thinks a new GM should be in place a month before the June 22 draft.
Tremblay favors player agent Pat Brisson for the Canadiens' GM job. Carbo likes Julien BriseBois.

The inaugural year of Multnomah's MA in Global Development and Justice (MAGDJ) is in full swing. The program, launched last fall, equips students for a lifetime of fruitful service in the vast world of justice initiatives, poverty alleviation, disaster response and compassion projects. I'm happy to highlight this program, especially in light of the two justice-centered events MU hosted last week: the Global Missions Conference and the Justice Conference Portland. The MAGDJ ties in beautifully with Multnomah's holistic approach to the world's toughest problems. I sat down with Intercultural Studies Chair and Director of the MAGDJ, Dr. Greg Burch, to find out more about this dynamic degree.
'A globally-focused graduate program'
Burch earned his bachelor's degree at Multnomah in 1994, and then immediately jumped into global development work in Venezuela. He ministered to homeless youth for several years before moving to Costa Rica to teach at a seminary.
One day, he received an email from MU's Intercultural Studies Chair, Dr. Tom Kopp, who asked him what he thought a globally-focused graduate program in humanitarian studies would look like. Many students had been asking about such a degree, and Kopp wanted to turn their hopes into a reality.
Burch sent Kopp his thoughts. The program never got off the ground, but when Kopp retired from Multnomah two years later, Burch applied for his position. He got the job, and moved with his wife and two kids to Portland. As soon as he began working at MU in summer 2012, Burch threw himself into crafting a program proposal for an MA in Global Development and Justice. The board and accreditors approved it, and a new major was born.
'A fabulous place to prepare'
Students received the program with open arms. Karen Sele says she always knew MU was an intentionally Bible-based university, but she wasn't prepared for the personalized care and customized teaching the MAGDJ program gives her: "I'm impressed that the most intensive assignments are flexibly structured to complement each individual's focus," she says. "The members of our cohort bring a valuable tapestry of backgrounds, experiences and views to our discussions. After only one term of learning and supporting each other, we've developed a deep community of friendship which will extend beyond this program as we come alongside God in his work of restoration here and around the world. If God is calling you to this kind of work, Multnomah is a fabulous place to prepare!"
Sele and her classmates will completes 300 hours of internship before graduating. Burch is currently helping students find their ideal internship matches; he's compiled a list of organizations they can work for, and is busy writing several letters of recommendation. His students are applying to International Justice Mission, World Relief, Samaritan's Purse and several other well-respected for-profits and nonprofits. "We do a good job of networking with organizations who can hire our students after they get their degree," he says. "I want my students to go all over the world after they graduate."
Serving in a quality way
Burch says his students are very different from one another, but they're all earning a MAGDJ degree for the same reason — they have a deep desire to help others and to make the world a better place. "These students are amazing," he says. "They're so passionate about reaching out to people on the fringes of society."
But it takes more than passion to work in the field. Early burnout is a common issue. "Many people only last about two years when they work with a group like at-risk youth," says Burch. "But I want our students to be able to serve a lifetime." Burch and his team of professors make it a priority to train students in the art of soul care, self-care and spiritual formation, "so they can serve in a quality way," he says.
Although Burch dreams of growing his program, he's more concerned about making sure his students are equipped to tackle anything that comes their way. "I'm not numbers-focused," Burch says. "I want to mentor my students and walk with them."
'Truly holistic'
There are other global development and justice degrees out there, but Burch recommends MU's program for a few good reasons: "It's faith-based and truly holistic," he says. "We incorporate spirituality into the curriculum. We want the people we help to develop in their relationship with God and grow in their leadership abilities. A lot of programs just focus on the financial aspect, but humans are whole beings, and we have more than economic needs."
Burch says there are more jobs in this field than anywhere else. More than 1.9 billion people live on less than $1 per day. Sixteen thousand children die from curable diseases each day. "If you're looking to get rich, then this type of work isn't for you," Burch says. "But if you're looking to serve people and see lives change — this is it."
To learn more about this program, check out the MAGDJ page and read Dr. Burch's article.
MU will also offer a part-time MAGDJ program at its Reno-Tahoe site beginning fall 2014.

That is so cute! Too bad the first set got ruined since they weren't magnetic. I once had a friend in direct sales (avon, etc type of thing) and she ordered a huge $60 sign for her car to advertise her business on.
She got the sign in the mail.
It wouldn't stick to her car. The car wasn't magnetic.
She then had a $60 JUMBO refrigerator magnet. lol

Cupcakes have been popping up all over since Carrie and the girls Manolo-ed their way into Magnolia Bakery, NYC. For a few years, and in ever-growing numbers, Londoners don't seem to be able to get enough of these little bites of nostalgia.
The proprietor of Violet Cakes, Claire Ptak, worked for three years as a pastry cook for Alice Waters at Chez Panisse, the restaurant largely credited as the most influential in the Californian gastronomy movement.
In 2005 Ptak brought her baking skills to a modest Saturday stall at Broadway Market in Hackney, and her cupcakes sold… well, like hotcakes.
Her new shop is dominated by its open kitchen, with sacks of flour piled beneath wooden counters and on spare chairs. A glass counter is squeezed in, along with one table for two and a bar stool for customers.
Further seating can be found in the small rear garden, on the pavement outside, or on the first floor at two larger tables.
Additions to the bakery range are a daily quiche or sandwich (£4.50 or £6.50 with salad), the latter made on St John sourdough bread ( also available as whole loaves to take away). Filter coffees (£2 a mug) are supplied byJack's or Square Mile, and like the loose leaf teas, can be supped either in mugs or by the pot.
A crumble-topped muffin with cherries and raspberries, along with own-made Oreo-like cookies, were the highlights for us. Lemonade at £1.50 for a tiny cup, though good, was over-priced despite the Amalfi lemons. The signature cupcake (£2.20), a vanilla sponge topped with intensely violet-coloured butter icing, was somewhat shrinking in flavour and the same was true for the salted caramel icing.
Whoopie cakes are tipped to be the 'new cupcakes', but this US kiddie import – in this case, two dense, red velvet sponge discs, filled with a very sweet butter cream – was not something we'll rush to try again.
A sweet spot, but only if you're in the neighbourhood.

Today I went to Violet and bought some cupcakes and a cinnamon bun. The cinnamon bun was truly amazing, the best I have ever tried. Not cheap but worth the treat. However the cupcakes were disappointing, the sponge was dry (one of them crumbled after pealing the paper), the vanilla icing was nice but the red velvet icing was not as good. I still enjoy the place, and the cinnamon bun, but the cupcakes not so much.
I am just shocked that anyone has anything bad to say about Violet beyond the fact that the small space at the front gets really crowded when you have to wait for your coffee. The staff are friendly (much better than at Wiltons), the coffee is great, the cakes are amazing (I don't even bother with the cupcakes personally as I've always found them too sweet, but the other cakes, cookies, scones, brownies, blondies, bread and butter pudding etc are fantastic!), sure it's not the cheapest but I think you get what you pay for - the sandwiches are delicious, the atmosphere is really nice and if you want something cheap and nasty you can always go to Percy Ingle on Broadway Market or indeed Greggs on the Narrow Way. For me Violet is a treat that I'm happy to pay for and I hope it stays there for a long time!
I just don't get it. I will say that the bakery itself is BEAUTIFUL and the cupcakes at least look pretty but the cakes taste of nothing. The sponge is always dry and though they claim to use all sorts of natural flavorings in the icing, they all pretty much taste the same - sickly sweet. I guess I'm not a cupcake person so not the best person to be reviewing Violet but the larger cakes also lack flavour and imagination.
I love Violet Cakes - yes - the cakes aren't perfect, I agree that the sponge is sometimes a little dry compared to shop bought cakes, but this is becase these are home made. Proper home made cakes don't have a perfectly smooth moist texture. I also really love the flavourings used - the strawberry cupcakes are gorgeous and the icing is richly infused with a gorgeous English strawberry flavouring. I also love the passionfruit cakes. The cafe itself is adorable, small, intimate and with a lovely little outdoor area where you can enjoy your tea and cake and read the newspaper at leisure. So, sorry previous reviewer, but I wholeheartedly disagree with your review. I like the personal, initmate, home madeness of the food and the place and have always found it a delight. Plus it is local - lucky, lucky me.
Violet is a wonderful experience... their salted caramel cup cake (not to mention full size cake) is just about the most delicious thing I've eaten! I only wish they were available at Maltby Street on a Saturday morning. Red Velvet, chocolate with marshmallow frosting, ginger molasses cake & the sea salt chocolate chop cookies... I could go on. Everything is delicious. The cafe is also the sweetest spot in Hackney!
Last month I was visiting London for an extended stay and happen to (thankfully) be staying in Hackney. I was blown away by Violet's beautiful, eclectic shop and frequented it so many times that was privileged to taste a multitude of their fresh baked treats. I only wish I had been able to try everything, but I did have many of their cupcakes (salted caramel, red velvet, violet, chocolate, strawberry (thank goodness it was strawberry season!), rhubarb, polenta (I couldn't believe VEGAN could be so moist and tasty), amongst others. Every one of them was perfect. I also had scones, brownies, crumb muffins, delicious granola, fresh sandwiches they make for lunch, not to mention a perfect coffee and lovely little pots of tea. Everything was served by a very friendly and cheerful staff. I've been in some of the other cake shops in London and sure, there are the good ones, but Violet has something special. As I sat there catching up on some emails I would look around and the place was continuously full of happy faces coming and going and not a crumb was left on a plate. I even started to recognize the regulars (yes, I was there enough to notice!) Violet is the kind of place you want to keep going back to because you know you can count on a deliciously perfect moment in your day. Just go...
I live in Dublin, and when I visited London last October, I made a special trip out to Wilton Way to Violet Cakes. I can't remember where I first read about Claire and her delicious, delicate cupcakes, but I was determined to find the bakery and try some. It was a delightful afternoon, and my only regret is that I couldn't bring any home in my suitcase. Wliton Way may be well out of your way, but Violet Cakes is worth the trip!
I can't believe the comment below... seriously, I take everyone who visits London to Violet and ALL of them go crazy for the place, and more importantly, the cakes. Best in London. Without a shadow of a doubt.
Violet Cakes is off the beaten track but well worth visiting. Aside from the brilliant cakes and coffee the atmosphere is really great.
Sounds to me like EMS is out to promote this Lorraine Pascale's Ella's Bakehouse more than anything else... as it happens, I am a bit of a cupcake expert, and while I have not tried Ella's Bakehouse, I certainly have tried Violet Cakes' cupcakes and I can assure you the sponge is far from being dry and tasteless, and the icing everything but synthetic. Quite the opposite, in fact.
I'm lucky enough to live around the corner from Violet. Truly one of my favourite places in London, with welcoming staff and a lovely relaxed vibe. The flourless chocolate cake is my favourite but you should take the time to try a little of everything. A weekend staple.
Visited the stall in Broadway Market on Saturday after reading some good things about the cakes and was excited to try them. Tried the large size bergamot and passionfruit cakes, and mini rhubarb and sea salt caramel cakes. I had asked for a violet one as well, but when I got home and opened the box saw that the stall assistant had given me 2 rhubarb instead of a violet. The stall was prettily presented enough but if you look at the sponge, your instinct will tell you they are not good. And they were not: the sponge was dry and tasteless and a sickly pale yellow. The icing flavours - with exception of the passionfruit - tasted synthetic and there was no depth of flavour at all. An extremely disappointing experience, and an expensive one at that (£8 for 2 large and 2 mini cakes). I will not be recommending these to anyone, spend your money at Lorraine Pascale's Ella's Bakehouse whose cakes are very good indeed and you get what you pay for.
