When running db_nmap I manage to identify some OS but it seems like the identification doesn't always show up in the DB (SQLite3/default) when running db_hosts command.
But sometimes it does... for example when running the smb version scanner (and the scanner finds anything related), then it shows up but not with db_nmap. For example: One of the hosts found while running db_nmap -sSV -O (Syn-scan, version-scan and OS detection) is a Linux 2.6.x which is correct, but it doesn't show up in the database. Is that because it doesn't know the exact version? In my opionion it would be better to write 2.6.x than nothing. Or is the db_nmap behaving false? Or have I got hold of the wrong end of the stick/misunderstood something?

GOLD BAR — On a hot day, just looking at a waterfall can make you feel cooler — even if you have to hike a ways to do it.
That at least was the prevailing feeling of those who flocked to Wallace Falls State Park near Gold Bar recently on a scorching Sunday.
It's an easy round-trip of only a mile from the parking lot to the closest set of falls, and a farther and steeper hike for the other cascades.
"It's a beautiful hike, beautiful falls and scenery, and so close," said Brenda Wahl of Arlington, who was there with her husband and two friends.
As everyone knows, there's no shortage of water in the Pacific Northwest, and some of it comes down the mountainsides in a particularly beautiful way.
Snohomish County boasts a good share of these picturesque flows. The World Waterfall Database lists 68 waterfalls of significance in the county, all in the Cascade Range.
The site lists 84 waterfalls in King County and 37 in Skagit County.
Waterfalls are measured in two main ways: total height from top to bottom, and amount of freefall or the distance that water is in the air.
Snohomish County's tallest by total height is Bridal Veil Falls at 1,328 feet, located south of the Skykomish River near Index.
It's one of the more accessible and popular falls in the county, said Gary Paull, wilderness and trails coordinator for the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Many of the Snohomish County falls are located in the national forest.
Bridal Veil Falls, located near Lake Serene, is only about two miles up a trail from a parking area that holds about 100 cars, he said. The trail is steep for only the last half-mile near the top. The lake and the falls are visited by thousands of people each year, Paull said.
It's hard to tell which one has the highest freefall but it could well be Wallace Falls, he said.
Other accessible local falls include Feature Show Falls and Asbestos Creek Falls near Darrington; Rucker Falls and Big Four Falls near the Ice Caves off the Mountain Loop Highway; and Hundred Step Falls, one of several falls along the trail to Lake 22 near Verlot.
Asbestos Creek Falls, listed as the fourth highest in the county at 950 feet, is a long series of cascades just upstream from Clear Creek Road. People have a tendency to get out and climb on the rocks there — sometimes with disastrous results.
"We've had a number of fatalities up there," Paull said. "People climb around up there, it's slippery and they fall off."
Safety is an important consideration near waterfalls, he said. To get a better look, visitors often put themselves in danger.
"People are tempted to get to the edge of things and hang onto limbs or branches and get to places they shouldn't be," Paull said. "You might be standing on something that is undercut."
Just recently at Wallace Falls, a man fell into the water in the canyon and had to be airlifted out by helicopter, park aide Linda Wilson said. He luckily was OK, she said.
Some of the taller falls in the county are difficult or impossible to reach.
Blanca Lake Falls, the second highest, is not far from Wallace Falls as the crow flies but are deep in the mountains. It's tough to see from anywhere other than an airplane, he said.
One unnamed falls — given the name of Fletcher Falls on the database website — may be seen from a distance from the Mountain Loop Highway. It's near Monte Cristo Lake, but "you have to cross a river to get to it," Paull said. "It's even a little tricky to do that."
Wallace Falls also may be seen from a nearby highway — U.S. 2. Located only a few miles from Gold Bar, however, it's easy to get to.
Wallace Falls, listed at 367 feet, is the tallest of three main falls in Wallace Falls State Park. Above it is Upper Wallace Falls, 240 feet, and below is Lower Wallace Falls, 212 feet.
A set of small falls is only a one-mile round trip hike from the parking lot, according to a park map. The lower falls is a 3½-mile round-trip; Wallace Falls, in the middle, is a 4¼ mile round trip, and the upper falls is about a 5½ mile round trip.
The trail steepens sharply between the middle and upper falls.
"The last bit was steeper than the falls were worth," said Jon Edgar of Mukilteo, who visited the park on June 30 with his wife Jacqui.
Still, it was an enjoyable experience, the couple said.
"The trail was extremely well maintained," Edgar said.
The different hiking options seem to contribute to the park's popularity. The park draws about 160,000 visits per year, according to the Friends of Wallace Falls State Park website.
On June 30, with the mercury nudging 90 degrees, the park's 107-car parking lot was full, and more than 50 other visitors parked down the road.
Nathan Warren, 23, of Everett, said he's been there many times.
"I come here to do a little spiritual growth. I like to pray," he said.
Brady Blankenship of Marysville was part of Wahl's group and it was his first visit.
"The falls give you the destination," he said, "to get to the end."

State's tallest falls
Waterfalls are measured in two main ways: total height from top to bottom, and amount of freefall or the distance that water is airborne.
In the total height category, Johannesburg Falls in the Skagit County portion of North Cascades National Park is listed by the World Waterfall Database as the second tallest in Washington state and the 17th tallest in the world at 2,465 feet.
Colonial Creek Falls near Diablo Lake in Whatcom County is listed as the tallest in the 48 contiguous United States and 13th in the world.
Among waterfalls with a freefall of at least 500 feet, the tallest in the state is Depot Creek Falls, also in North Cascades park in Whatcom County. It has a total height of 948 feet and is ranked 84th in the world.

Does not fit any chair
By dlsh
from Keene, NH
The pad warms nicely, however, does not replace heat of a heating pad. The advertising is misleading in the fact that it does not fit any chair. Tried it on a recliner as shown in the picture. Straps not long enough to be of any use. Would work fine on an office chair as shown in the instructions that came with the pad. Little disappointed. I would recommend with reservation.

Chair Warmer
By Lothar Aeronaut
from Issaquah, WA
This item allows one to relax in a warm chair in chilly weather, instead of needing a heated blanket, i.e. one can then just cover with a light blanket (and your cat will stay in your lap).
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

whole back warmth
By lb
from chicago il
I especially like the mild gentle heat and the fact that it has an automatic shut off
As Advertised
By Mr. Ruhland
from Akron, New York
"Generously oversized" is a term used to describe this product in the literature and indeed it is! If you suffer from lower back pain, sciatica, or upper back pain, this unit will cover it all. It is well constructed, reasonably priced, and stays in place when secured to the back of your chair. It rivals much more expensive prescription heating units.

The warming Backrest
By CoJo
from Elizabeth, Colorado
The only con to this pad is it is hard to anchor in my wing backed chair. Other than that I love it!!I have disc problems in my lower back and the heat does seem to help. It looks so much neater than my crumpled up heating pad. Worth every cent!

from Conway, AR
Product is great; very effective at relieving minor back pain. However, straps need to be a bit longer to accommodate a wing back chair.

This is what I've been waiting for. Thank you!!
*Update* I just finished JB my iPhone 5 on 6.1 and everything worked just fine. No weather app crashing or long boots. I waited for the evasi0n 1.1 update, so this was the first time I JB my iPhone since the evasi0n release.
**Update 2** My weather app was just fine after the JB and restarting, but after downloading things from Cydia I noticed that it started crashing. I'm not sure which Cydia app caused this...but I'm going to uninstall some apps and see if that does something.
***Update 3*** After uninstalling Winterboard my weather app started working again. My guess is that it's messing something up. Hopefully this will all be fixed shortly!
For some reason, my Cydia doesn't like to open fully after a while. It will only open up to the mini page,and you can't access anything. I had this problem yesterday after I installed Auxo,and thought that was the reason - so I restored,and re-jailbroke. Everything was cool, until about 10 minutes ago - same thing started happening with Cydia again...SO, I tried reboots,resprings - a bunch of different things to see if it would get it working again - but to no avail. I figure, ok,I'll restore and re-jailbreak again....so I open iTunes,back up the phone,and hit restore - error, can't restore,and phone is now in recovery mode. I plug it in again,and iTunes asks if I want to restore AND update? Is this 6.1.1 out already? I didn't take the chance to jumping to an update,and getting screwed for another 6 months...
who already owns Appsyn. YOU DONT REALLY NEED TO RE-JAILBREAK !! just follow these steps
1.Uninstall Appsyn.
2.Reinstall UiKit Tools version 1.1.7
3.Reboot your device
4.Weather app should be working now
5.Reinstall Appsyn.
6.Weather App still works also (:

One Great Family automatically merges trees when it finds the identical person on both, which sounds a bit scary—but where the trees differ, the site maintains the differences and each member sees the version of the tree he believes is correct.

A subscription costs $59.95 annually; a free one-week trial offer is available.
(The 2010 National Genealogical Society conference, by the way, is in Salt Lake City, so you could double up on a trip to the Family History Library.)
(This is podcast host Dear Myrtle's badge.) Ribbons designate society memberships, honors and more. All registrants got an "Ancestry.com member" ribbon (whether or not they actually were members) and first-time attendees got "First FGS Conference." FGS board members, speakers and genealogical societies delegates received ribbons. I got "Podcast Fan" and "Keeping up With Blogs" at a social networking forum. Some highly involved folks had to take special measures to secure their ribbons:
I didn't have a specific article to find—rather, I wanted
any news item about my great-grandfather's criminal trial for bootlegging. There
wasn't a name index, so I knew I was in for some heavy-duty scrolling. I had the
conviction and incarceration dates, but not a date of arrest, so I had several
months to cover in 1913.
First thing when I arrived, I got my very own research card.
The archivist had me double-check holdings for the newspapers I wanted. I'd
neglected to bring singles or a $5 bill for a copy card, so I also ran to the
concession and bought a soda to get change.
Next, I requested a couple years' worth of microfilm and
started scrolling. I started with the dates I knew and scrolled backward
through earlier papers, then forward, looking for headlines on the faded pages.
Bootlegging arrests filled the news--apparently
the sheriff was really cracking down. The few items mentioning my ancestor's
name told when he was arrested, how he filed for a writ of habeas corpus, and
how two others arrested at the same time jumped bail.
Though not the play-by-play trial accounts I was hoping for,
the articles also gave me a clue to what might've happened to his missing
court records.
He served his prison sentence in Texas and his case is indexed in Bowie County, Texas,
records, but a batch of files that includes his case number is missing.
According to the newspaper articles, some witnesses lived on
the Arkansas side of Texarkana, and Bowie County officials traveled to the
courthouse in Miller County, Ark., for a pretrial motion. So maybe his case file ended up in Arkansas.
Miller County court records for the years I need aren't on
Family History Library microfilm, so I'll send a request to the circuit court
clerk the minute I get home. Fingers crossed.
Volunteer indexers from the Arkansas
Genealogical Society have completed a quarter of the project so far--that's 442,058
records linked to 199,431 digital images of original marriage certificates from
the counties of Ashley, Baxter, Boone, Chicot, Clay, Crittenden,Desha,
Drew, Fulton, Jackson, Johnson, Lee, Logan, Madison, Monroe, Montgomery,
Nevada, Perry and Pike.
It turned out the meeting was more review than news, the
company's lawyers having nixed any "forward thinking statements" in anticipation of its IPO.
But I guess a review couldn't hurt once in awhile, especially
with, as content manager Gary Gibb conceded, just-released databases quickly overshadowing ones released just
before them, significant additionsbeing
termed mere "updates" on the list of recently added content, and some collections (such as audio recordings of oral
histories) drowning in the sea of databases.
Key improvements for this year have been:

July 2nd Links
#2 prospect Rafael Devers linked to the Red Sox Story/Scouting Report/Video from March
July 2nd-Themed Podcast with Jorge Arangure & interview with #4 prospect Micker Zapata
Subscriber version of this article, with full reports, video and predicted signing bonus/team for each player
This is how I rank the top 10 players in this class based on my in-person evaluations and input from scouts, not my prediction of who will get the highest bonus. As covered in the July 2nd Basics, players aren't eligible to sign until they turn 16, which for two of the below players isn't until August. Look out for a July 2nd notebook coming soon to expound on why I ranked some of the players the way I did, what I think of the class as a whole and coverage of a number of team-based story lines. For an explanation the new bonus pools, see July 2nd Basics and to see the amounts each team has to spend click here
As a preview of what subscribers are getting, I've included the full report, video and projected signing bonus/team for my top player below. I'll be covering over 30 players in the next few days with additional reports, video and predictions.
1. Gleyber Torres, SS, Venezuela
5'11/185, R/R, July 2 Age: 16.55, Trainer/Agent: Ciro Barrios
Tool Breakdown: Hit: 60/60, Power: 45/50, Run: 50/50, Field: 50/55, Throw: 55/55
Scouting Report: Torres isn't the prototypical July 2nd shortstop, with a maxed-out frame and just average speed. That said, he's got a lot of present skills and has trains with Ciro Barrios, the most prolific talent producer in Venezuela. Torres has an above average arm and very good hands and actions, but his average foot speed limits his lateral quickness, which is why some scouts think he could fit better at second base long-term, with third base another possibility. That said, he'll go out as a shortstop after signing and I wouldn't underestimate Torres' ability to overachieve, with great instincts and feel for the game.
He also has a bat that stands out now, with a high leg kick for timing but a simple, direct, loose swing that lashes line drives to the gaps. Torres has some lift to his swing and you can project average raw power, or 15-18 homers annually in the big leagues at maturity. He hit well in the games I saw (despite being out front in both game swings in the above video) and scouts seem sold on his ability to hit with gap power and stick up the middle, but Torres' upside isn't the same as many previous top July 2nd prospects. If you'd like to know their names, many have already been released and the certainty Torres offers along with everyday player upside at a premium position is plenty. Since he doesn't have the highest upside in the class and clubs differ so greatly on 15/16 year old talent, Torres won't be getting the highest bonus in this class.
Torres' swing has some similarities to Derek Jeter and Torres is also comparable to the player that got one of the highest bonuses last year, another Venezuelan infielder, Blue Jays prospect Franklin Barreto. Barreto signed for $1.45 million and has similar skills and superior speed but also likely moves to second base and is only 5'9 (see my full Barreto report) One scout said Torres seemed less interested and was already "shutting it down" early in showcase season and speculates he had a deal done as early as last November. The Cubs have been mentioned as his most likely landing spot for awhile and they have over $4.5 million to spend, so this marriage seems natural.
Predicted Team/Bonus: Chicago Cubs, $1.8 million
2. Rafael Devers, 3B, Dominican Republic
6'1/205, L/R, July 2 Age: 16.69, Trainer/Agent: Rudy Santin
See this story from March for more information & additional videos of Devers
3. Eloy Jimenez, RF, Dominican Republic
6'4/205, R/R, July 2 Age: 16.60, Trainer/Agent: Amauris Nina
4. Micker Zapata, RF, Dominican Republic
6'3/225, R/R, July 2 Age: 16.81, Trainer/Agent: Abel Guerra
See this episode of my podcast to hear me interview Zapata in person after the showcase shown in the scouting video.
5. Leonardo Molina, CF, Dominican Republic
6'2/175, R/R, July 2 Age: 15.92 (Eligible to sign August 1st), Trainer/Agent: Decarte Corporan
6. Yeltsin Gudino, SS, Venezuela
6'0/155, R/R, July 2 Age: 16.46, Trainer/Agent: Carlos Guillen
7. Jesus Lopez, 2B, Nicaragua
5'11/160, B/R, July 2 Age: 16.74, Trainer/Agent: Wilfredo Blanco
8. Luis Encarnacion, 3B, Dominican Republic
6'2/195, R/R, July 2 Age: 15.90 (Eligible to sign August 9th), Trainer/Agent: Juan Herrera
9. Marcos Diplan, RHP, Dominican Republic
5'11/160, R/R, July 2 Age: 16.79, Trainer/Agent: Luis Polonia
10. Carlos Hiciano, SS, Dominican Republic
6'2/175, R/R, July 2 Age: 16.68, Trainer/Agent: Decarte Corporan

Hi all.
I found that the easiest method to start networking in bt4 is "start-network" but in most guides regarding how to start networking in bt4 I see "/etc/init.d/networking start". I think I've also seen other methods to start networking in bt4.
my nub questions are:
1. what is the difference between the 2 methods I mentioned (besides the fact the "/etc/init.d/networking start" takes longer)?
2. I know that bt4 is meant to be as silent as possible, but if the isn't available from the start then how can you pentest a network ?!
thanks in advance for helping me learn.
first do some homework: open a terminal
so start-network will use the wicd daemon and from there all network configuration is doneCode:whereis start-network cat /usr/bin/start-network man wicd
through the Wicd Network Manager KDE app.
/etc/init.d/networking is the usual way to start the network, especially through Linux runlevel usage.
configuration files are located in: /etc/network/*
Usually, for any new Linux users, get familiar with manual enabling network interfaces, using ifconfig
and dhclient3 and/or manual DNS settings in /etc/resolv.conf !
Also wicd conflicts sometimes with other tools, so better that YOU have full control about your (manual) network settings!

@brtw: your explanation was good enough but I'll do as you suggested and read more into it.
thank you guys for the info.
Last edited by brtw2003; 02-11-2010 at 10:50 PM.
you cant use that option from servisec-start networking before you type in startx. Like if you want to install something in text mode you need to use /etc/init.d/networking start.
@brtw: I understand now. you can use the interface but you don't need an IP address to start sniffing.
@halfdone: I know what you mean (like installing nvidia or ati drivers which must be done outside of x)
ty guys my questions are fully answered.
next time I'll man more before asking
There's a good book that helped me how to RTFM first and all this kind of stuff that you must try before asking: "Intoduction to Linux" written by Machtelt Garrels. Actually the book it's a whole walkthrough for Linux OS, very handy and a "must read" for Linux beginners.
Great minds have purposes, others have wishes

On Saturday, Child Protective Services raided her house after a tip that Octo is back using drugs, and drinking and has blackouts because of her substance abuse problems. The tip came from a former nanny and the investigation is ongoing. Last time CPS came out they didn't find anything, but Octo did head to rehab shortly after. I guess she will go again, but then she will need money so it will be porn or back to the stripper pole.

Nutrition for Kids – What Makes a Balanced Meal?
November 7, 2012 at 1:00 pm Melissa & Doug 2 comments
Have you heard of "My Plate"? It's the newest tool from the USDA to help families plan balanced, nutritious meals. We think it's a great tool for playtime, too!
Use the graphic (attached) to guide sorting, tracking, and meal-planning activities with your family. Here are a few different ways to play:
- Print out My Plate extra-large, and let kids pile play food on top of it, grouping them in the right categories. (Need more food options? Cut out pictures from cooking magazines, or just let kids draw their food ideas right on the paper.)
- Tape a copy to the bottom of a see-through plastic plate to guide portions of real food at dinner time.
- Use a copy as a menu for restaurant play, and let the servers make suggestions, make their own meals, and take orders for each food group.
- Bring along a copy to the supermarket and let kids mark the sections each time they spot a food that belongs. Talk about the results: Which foods did they see the most of? Were they in a cold place or a warm place? The middle of the store or the sides?
- Post a copy in the kitchen and mark the different sections with stamps or stickers to track what you eat. Assign each family member a different type of marker to make it a game: Eat a balanced diet to win!
We hope you enjoy some healthy, happy playtime this week, and lots of great discussions about nutritious food!

Dierks Bentley Shares Inspiration Behind Annual Benefit Event
Listen to Dierks Bentley Radio on iHeartRadio
Dierks Bentley admits a charity motorcycle ride and concert isn't his original idea. The country star says he decided to launch his Miles & Music For Kids after taking part in a similar event hosted by former Tennessee Titans tight end Frank Wycheck.
Bentley says he was also motivated to stage his fundraiser by his manager, whose son has Down syndrome. The singer adds that the event gives him the opportunity to combine two things he loves - motorcycles and music.
Dierks will host his ninth annual Miles & Music For Kids in Nashville on September 28th. Chris Young, Kip Moore, Randy Houser, and Jon Pardi are slated to take part in the event, which raises money for Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt.

VALLEY VIEW, OH -- Shaffer Distributing Co. has named Doug Schudel as the recipient of its Bernard C. Flynn Devotion Award. Schudel has worked for Shaffer for more than seven years; he previously served with Cleveland Coin and Monroe Distributing during his 31-year coin-op career.
In making the presentation, sales and marketing vice-president Scott Shaffer explained that the award is given infrequently, and that it takes a special person to be chosen for it. The award is named after an early and sterling Shaffer employee, who began as a shipping clerk in 1946 for the Shaffer Music Co. Before retiring in 1980, Flynn had worked in Shaffer's parts, service and sales divisions, became a branch and general manager, and ultimately was named executive vice-president.
Like Flynn, Schudel has devoted his time and energy to Shaffer and its customers with respect, loyalty and commitment, the company reported; he always communicates with clients punctually and completes tasks accurately and precisely. Shaffer Distributing added that Schudel did not receive the award on the basis of his work alone, but also for his positive attitude and personality.
Schudel presently works in Shaffer's Valley View office. An active member of the community, he has been a Boy Scout leader for 24 years, serving as assistant Scoutmaster and Districts Advancement Chairman. In the latter role, he has helped more than 300 Scouts with the final steps to attaining Eagle status. He and his wife also serve with Crossroads, a counseling service, and he has donated some 14 gallons of blood over the years.
"Shaffer is fortunate and proud to count Doug Schudel as one of its most valued employees," the distributorship summed up.
The winner of the Bernard C. Flynn Devotion Award embodies Shaffer's belief system, getting the job done correctly the first time, going the extra mile and paying close attention to detail. Previous recipients are Chuck Ropke in 2001 and Paul Westbrock in 2005.

By Tetona Dunlap Twin Falls Times-News
ARCO, Idaho — In only a few places in the United States can you walk over what was once lava and explore an underground lava tube crafted by molten rock.
Instead of flying more than five hours to Hawaii, drive less than two hours north of Twin Falls, Idaho, to Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve near Arco.
Here you'll find an otherworldly landscape, an example of what the ground beneath your feet is capable of producing.
Although no bright orange lava flows here now, the gnarled and crusty terrain frozen in time traces the tale of rivers of lava that gushed from fissures across the Snake River Plain called the Great Rift.
In 1923 geologist Harold Stearns described Craters of the Moon as the nation's most recent fissure eruption outside of Hawaii. The most recent eruption at Craters was just 2,000 years ago.
If you can't spend half the day exploring all that the monument and preserve has to offer, there are two things you must see, said Lennie Ramacher, interpretive park ranger and volunteer coordinator: the spatter cones and the caves.
The spatter cones are especially interesting, he said, because they are formed during the final gasps of an eruption as lava plops out in gigantic globs.
You can take the short but steep walk up to the top of one of these cones. There is also a handicapped-accessible trail that is easier to climb to the top of Snow Cone, which is about 300 feet deep and always has snow in the bottom.
A lava tube is an underground tunnel that forms when the surface of flowing lava cools faster than the lava beneath. Later, when part of a tube collapses, it creates an opening to the natural cave.
One of the more popular lava tubes to explore is Indian Tunnel, the perfect cave for families with young children who want to venture below ground together but don't want to walk through complete darkness.
You can reach Indian Tunnel and three other caves — Dewdrop, Boy Scout and Beauty — by way of a half-mile paved trail across a field of lava. Boy Scout is harder than Indian Tunnel to hike through.
Every day a ranger leads guided cave walks; Meet at the caves area trailhead at 9 a.m. Fridays through Sundays, and at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. daily.
In four of the caves (not Indian Tunnel), you must carry flashlights with extra batteries. Ramacher also suggests bringing a light jacket and water.
Wear tennis shoes or hiking boots because you can feel the jagged ground poking into your shoe soles. Listen quietly to hear the tiny squeaks of bats in the crevices above you.
Before you venture into any of the caves at Craters of Moon you must get a cave permit, required before entering any cave on National Park Service lands.
This helps prevent the spread of white-nose syndrome, a fungal disease that has killed more than 5 million bats in the U.S. since 2005.
Get your permit at the entrance station, the visitor center or on ranger-guided walks.
You will be asked questions: Have you visited a cave or mine since 2005? Do you have any items with you (such as clothing, shoes, flashlights, cameras, watches or phones) that entered the caves or mines you previously visited?
"The bats have no natural defense," Ramacher said.
At Craters of the Moon you may see pronghorns, mule deer, foxes, coyotes, chipmunks, squirrels and some rattlesnakes.
The lava flows are home to a cute little creature called a pika that resembles a mouse with huge ears but is actually related to a rabbit. Listen for their trademark "Eeep" call and look inside rock crevices for piles of hay and flowers they like to collect.
The Devil's Orchard is a half-mile trail with trees growing from some of the oldest lava in Craters.
"It's a peaceful little nature walk," Ramacher said.
This trail is handicapped accessible, Pets are not allowed on the trails or in the caves.
Other hikes include the 3.5-mile North Crater Trail, the 2-mile Tree Molds Trail and a 7-mile Loop Road connecting all the attractions at Craters. Be sure to visit the visitor center to pick up a monument map.
More adventurous hikers can explore the Craters of the Moon Wilderness Trail and do some backcountry camping, free with a permit.
There are also 51 developed campsites in Lava Flow Campground across from the visitor center. The cost to camp is $10.
There are no RV hookups, but there are flush toilets, water, barbecue pits and picnic tables, and the campground is handicapped accessible.
Campsites are filled first come, first served.
Rangers also conduct nightly programs, junior ranger talks and hikes, and, starting in early August, nighttime hikes.
Monument basics
Hours: During summer, the visitor center is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. The monument is open daily year-round, except for federal holidays during the winter.
Cost: $8 a vehicle. After-hours there is a self-pay post near the entrance kiosk.
Get there: From the intersection of U.S. 20 and U.S. 93, head east on U.S. 20 and go 25 miles past the town of Carey to Craters of the Moon's entrance.

GSA Presents Second Annual Federal Mail Best Practice Awards
June 18, 2001
Contact: Eleni Martin (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC - GSA Administrator Stephen A. Perry and Associate Administrator of Governmentwide Policy G. Martin Wagner honored the winners of GSA's Second Annual Federal Mail Best Practices Award. Awards were presented in two categories�Federal Mail Manager of the Year and Federal Mail Center Excellence. These awards recognized federal employees who implemented innovative policies and practices in mail communications.
The Federal Mail Manager of the Year Award was presented to Theodore Boyd, Official Mail Manager for the Department of State's Diplomatic Pouch and Mail Division. Boyd, who manages 120 civil service and contract employees with an annual budget of $29 million, used an innovative approach to streamline processing of mail and make manual sorting of packages easier and more efficient at American Embassies and Consulates oversees. He worked with the U.S. Postal Service to create a system of phantom street names to incorporate the station name that allowed the Department of State to sort mail faster. For example, a piece of mail addressed to a State Department employee working in Rome, Italy would use the address: U.S. Department of State, 9500 Rome Place, Washington DC 20521-9500.
Tied for Federal Mail Center Excellence were the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
The USDA Mail Services Team received the Federal Mail Center Excellence Award for using an innovative approach to automate the processing of about 21 million pieces of mail annually to approximately 14,000 employees in 18 locations in the metro area. The USDA improved productivity and increased customer satisfaction by employing voice-activated software system that enables a mail clerk to read the recipient's name, stop-code, or organization and initiate a computer search of the database. Members of the USDA Mail Services Team are: Robert Gililland, June Bryan, Michele Lambert, Howard Neverson, Barbara Pendergrast, and Darius Clinton.
The second Federal Mail Center Excellence Award was presented to the FBI Mail Team of Alice Roberson and Dolores Gibbs. The FBI team initiated the concept of outsourcing the FBI internal messenger service for people with disabilities and developed a contract with NISH (formerly know as the National Industries for the Severely Handicapped). A recent survey indicated that 92 percent of FBI employees rated their mail services as excellent or good.
Also honored was Anthony LaBriola of the Internal Revenue Service, who received an honorable mention as Federal Mail Manager of the Year. LaBriola collaborated with the U.S. Postal Service to become the first federal agency to be a limited licensee of the National Change of Address (NCOA) system. LaBriola worked to change internal IRS regulations that prohibited IRS from updating addresses without the direct consent from taxpayers for at least 200 million addresses. He also partnered with NCOA database to update IRS' outgoing taxpayer notices with the most current addresses and annually update the entire IRS master file. His efforts resulted in improved customer service and saved money by reducing "undeliverable as addressed " mail.
The Federal Mail Best Practices Awards are sponsored by the Mail Communications Policy Office in the GSA Office of Governmentwide Policy. This office collaborates with the federal mail community to formulate new mail policy and share information on best practices.

Ark.-Little Rock Team Notes
Hilltoppers poised to make another run next season
Western Kentucky's magical run came to an end at the hands of the country's top team.
The Hilltoppers ran into a buzz saw, No. 1 Kentucky, and lost 81-66 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament in Louisville. WKU had run off six consecutive wins -- including one over Mississippi Valley State in an NCAA first-round game in Dayton two days earlier.
WKU rallied from down 16 in the final five minutes to edge MVSU 59-58.
The Hilltoppers finished 16-19, which doesn't look good on the surface, but the record isn't an indicator of how the season went. Ray Harper took over for fired coach Ken McDonald on an interim basis, and he was promoted to the full-time role on Feb. 20. WKU beat rival Middle Tennessee in the regular-season finale, then won four games in four days at the Sun Belt Conference tournament in Hot Springs, Ark., to earn the NCAA berth.
"I'd like to say how proud I am of these young men," Harper said. "It's been quite a journey, and I'm just thankful that I was able to be along for the ride. They're terrific."
WKU did most of the work with freshmen leading the way. Time after time, guards Derrick Gordon and T.J. Price and forwards George Fant and Vinny Zollo came up with big plays. Gordon led the team in scoring at 11.8 points per game. Fant, who was second at 10.4 points per game, was the Sun Belt tournament MVP.
The future is bright, as guard Khalil McDonald is the only departing senior. Point guard Jamal Crook and center Teeng Akol will be back for their senior seasons. Guard Caden Dickerson, a two-year starter before taking a medical redshirt this season because of a shoulder injury, is also slated to return.
"We were counted out long before today," Harper said after the loss to Kentucky. "The future is bright. I'm going back with the right team."
--Beating in-state rival Tennessee in any game would be notable for Middle Tennessee.
But to do so in an NIT game, on the road, and by scoring the final 15 points of the contest made the Blue Raiders' 71-64 win on March 19 that much sweeter.
Fourth-seeded Middle Tennessee (27-7) wound up losing 78-72 to sixth-seeded Minnesota (22-14) in an NIT quarterfinal on March 21, but the memory of the win over the Vols will live on.
"It means a lot to me, and it means a lot to our staff," Middle Tennessee coach Kermit Davis said of beating the top-seeded Volunteers. "I know it means a lot to our fan base. We understand how good Tennessee has been, and how good this team, this year has been in this building. It was difficult, and maybe we will cherish this in a month. But it is a quick turn-around. When we get on that bus, it has to be behind us."
G Bruce Massey led all players with both 20 points and 10 rebounds against Tennessee. F LaRon Dendy added 10 points and nine rebounds for the Blue Raiders.
In the loss to Minnesota, G Marcos Knight led the Blue Raiders with a career-high 19 points and nine rebounds.
--Middle Tennessee's run in the NIT came to an end at home against Minnesota. The Blue Raiders fell 78-72 in front of 10,521 fans. MTSU finished the year at 27-7, earning the most wins in program history. Marcos Knight matched a career-high with 19 points to lead the way, and he added nine rebounds. Despite not going to the NCAA tournament because of a Sun Belt tournament loss to Arkansas State, MTSU had a great season, finishing with wins over UCLA, Ole Miss and Tennessee. "When we came back from the UCLA game, the fans really latched on to this team," MTSU head coach Kermit Davis said. "Even for the Greensboro game, it was a little under 5,600. In both the Belmont games, the attendance was terrific. Over our last three conference games, we averaged about 7,100. They were coming to see us play. They enjoyed having Minnesota here, but these fans were coming to see their guys play. They like their team.
I think it'll build, and we'll have some record-breaking crowds next year."
--Louisiana-Lafayette went scoreless during a key five-minute stretch late in the second half and lost at home to Rice, 68-63, in the first round of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament.
Josh Brown hit a 3-pointer to give ULL a 54-51 lead with 6:18 left, but ULL didn't score again until the 1:13 mark. Brown led the Ragin' Cajuns with 22 points in his final game.
"I felt like we came out of the gates pretty well early. We missed several point-blank shots which could have given us a lead," coach Bob Marlin said. "You are not going to win many games when you shoot what we shot from the field in the second half. We did make a couple of baskets late. Our guys hung in there and fought hard and got it to a one-possession game. With six seconds to go, we still had an opportunity. Rice made the plays that they needed to make at the end of the game when they needed to make them."
--Denver's 22-win season was one to remember for the Pioneers in their final season in the Sun Belt Conference, but it didn't result in postseason play beyond the Sun Belt tournament. The NIT passed over the Pioneers, and the school elected not to participate in the College Basketball Invitational or the CollegeInsider.com tournament.
"We are disappointed that we will not be participating in the NIT," coach Joe Scott said in a statement. "We went 10-3 against one of the hardest nonconference schedules in team history, and we beat three NCAA Tournament teams."
Denver defeated Western Kentucky, Saint Mary's and Southern Miss.
--North Texas' Tony Mitchell made a big splash this season as a redshirt freshman, averaging 14.6 points per game and 10.6 rebounds per game. He sat out the first semester after transferring from Missouri, but made his case as the most dominant player in the league. Now the question is this -- will he stay or turn professional? The website NBADraft.net has the 6-foot-8, 220-pound Mitchell projected as the No. 21 pick in the first round. Mitchell may be raw, but possesses all the tools NBA scouts love.
--Middle Tennessee swept the two biggest league honors, but it ended up not mattering when the Blue Raiders lost in the quarterfinals of the Sun Belt tournament to Arkansas State and had to settle for the NIT. MTSU went 25-6, 14-2 in conference play, and Kermit Davis won Coach of the Year honors while LaRon Dendy, a senior forward, was the league's Player of the Year.
INSIDE THE NUMBERS: 16.4 -- Points per game scored by FIU's DeJuan Wright to lead the conference in scoring; 14.3 -- Points per game by FAU's Greg Gantt, the highest scoring average by someone left off the all-conference team; 4 -- Victories in the Sun Belt tournament where Western Kentucky had to overcome second-half deficits to win and reach the NCAA Tournament; 31 -- Percentage shooting from behind the 3-point arc for WKU, which could be a downfall in a tournament setting.
--UALR will have to improve on its press-breaking next season. The Trojans blew a 13-point lead late in its quarterfinal loss to WKU because of the Hilltoppers' full-court press.
--With rising junior Will Neighbour and rising sophomore Michael Javes coming back next year, UALR could stake a claim to having the league's best frontcourt.
--UALR will need to replace first-team all-conference point guard D'Andre Williams, who graduated this year.
--ASU junior guard Trey Finn earned all-Sun Belt tournament honors after averaging 16.3 points per game in three tournament games.
--Finn and senior forward Malcoln Kirkland were named to the CollegeSportsMadness.com all-conference second team.
--In the recruiting period, ASU is looking for one more playmaking guard. The Red Wolves only lose Kirkland.
--Junior guard Chase Hallam would have helped in the Sun Belt tournament, but he missed it with a back injury, which snapped his streak of 90 straight starts. Hallam is expected to be ready for next season.
--Brian Stafford's 261 career 3-pointers are third in DU history and fifth in Sun Belt history.
--Denver moves to the Western Athletic Conference next season.
--Mike Jarvis has been the coach at Florida Atlantic for four years, but he is 0-4 in Sun Belt tournament games.
--FAU is losing two key players from this year's team. Junior G Ray Taylor, a three-year starter whose 1,037 points rank eighth in school history and whose 437 assists rank third, will turn pro. The 5-foot-6 Taylor was the Sun Belt Freshman of the Year in 2010.
F Kore White is also leaving with one season of eligibility left.
"Kore will not be back playing for FAU next year," Jarvis told FAUOwlAccess.com. "It was mutually agreed upon that he needs to move on. I'm ready to end this relationship and so is he."
Taylor averaged 8.9 points per game this season, and White averaged 7.7, good for second and third on the Owls, respectively.
--FAU struggled down low after losing two-time Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Year Brett Royster to graduation. The hope is that Dragan Sekelja, a 7-footer who sat out this season as a transfer from Baylor, can take over and fill that void.
--The hire of Isiah Thomas three seasons ago was much-hyped, but the NBA Hall of Famer has failed to deliver. Thomas is 26-65 for his career.
--FIU turned it up defensively, averaging a Sun Belt-best 7.6 steals per game.
--FIU will be searching for wing players who are capable of replacing Jeremy Allen and DeJuan Wright's combined 30 points per game, which will be lost to graduation.
--G Josh Brown's 22 points equaled the total from the other five starters for the Ragin' Cajuns in the CIT loss to Rice on March 14.
--Louisiana-Lafayette released junior point guard Raymone Andrews and sophomore forward J.J. Thomas from their scholarships before the CIT. Thomas' younger brother, Cleveland, is reportedly seeking a release from the letter-of-intent he signed last fall.
--The Ragin' Cajuns had four seniors on this year's squad, but the toughest to replace will be starters Josh Brown, a guard, and Darshawn McClellan, a forward.
--ULL will have two transfers eligible next season. Guard Kevin Brown (Tulane) will be eligible at the start of the year and center Shawn Long (Mississippi State) will be eligible at the semester break.
--Second-year ULM coach Keith Richard accepted a two-year contract extension on March 17. Richard's contract now runs through 2017.
--ULM added Ryan Cross as an assistant coach for next year's staff.
--ULM, which was not eligible for postseason play this year due to APR penalties, did receive a passing grade and gained eligibility for postseason tournaments next year.
--The loss to Minnesota in the NIT snapped a 13-game win streak at the Murphy Center.
--Sun Belt Player of the Year LaRon Dendy finished his career with 11 points in the loss to Minnesota.
--MTSU loses only two seniors -- Dendy and little-used guard Jimmy Oden -- and the Blue Raiders will be in prime position to make a big Sun Belt championship run next season as well.
--The big decision UNT fans are waiting on is if freshman forward Tony Mitchell will declare for the NBA Draft or not. Mitchell averaged a double-double in his first year of eligibility and won the Sun Belt Freshman of the Year award.
--UNT has two signees, JUCO center John Odoh, who led all of JUCO in rebounding, and sharpshooter Clarke Overlander from Argyle, Texas.
--Next year, Grambling transfer Justin Patton is expected to be eligible after sitting out this season.
--The Jags finished the season with some momentum, winning seven of their last 10 games.
--Sophomore forward Augustine Rubit had his career-long double-double streak of four games end with a quarterfinal loss to Denver.
--Rubit finished the season one rebound behind Brandon Davis for seventh place on the school's all-time career rebounding list.
--Troy has two non-conference games set for next year in the new Trojan Arena: The Nov. 9 season opener against Mississippi State and a game against Georgia State.
--Troy has three scholarships to offer in the spring signing class and hopes to get a big man, wing player and point guard.
--Western Kentucky had a 12-0 run in the first half against Kentucky in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. It was only the third time all season Kentucky gave up a run of 10 or more unanswered points.
--Hilltoppers reserve freshman F Vinny Zollo verbally committed to play for Kentucky as a high school freshman when Billy Gillispie was the UK coach. Zollo reneged on his commitment when Gillispie was fired in March 2009. Zollo played 13 minutes and had no points and two rebounds in the March 15 loss to the Wildcats.
--WKU's NCAA Tournament appearance was its 22nd overall and first since 2009. Its previous two trips resulted in trips to the second round and Sweet 16 (2008).
--Freshmen accounted for 59.4 percent of WKU's points and 61.6 percent of WKU's rebounds.
--WKU finished with 146 blocked shots, second in school history for a single season behind the 2000-01 team, which blocked 155.
--G Derrick Gordon scored 412 points, finishing 49 short of current NBA player Courtney Lee's freshman school record for points in a season, set in 2004-05. Gordon was the first freshman in WKU history to lead the team in scoring.

The alternator in your MG is used to charge the battery and provide electrical power for the electronics, lights and other electrical systems in your MG when the engine is running
A 3-phase winding alternator is used with a series of rectifiers to provide smoothed DC current from the AC alternator output
While driving, the whole alternator assembly can be turning at very high speeds. To allow a non rotating alternator pedal to control the rotating alternator assembly a alternator release bearing uses a fork acting on a thrust face
The alternator has to transmit the engine power to the wheels allowing the vehicle to move. The torque of the engine is transferred by the MG alternator system relying entirely on the contact friction between 2 faces. A slipping alternator occurs when the friction is too low (often due to alternator wear) or engine torque is too high (during rapid acceleration)
The torque capacity (how much power can be transmitted without slipping) depends upon:
In order to use greater engine torque in high performance vehicles a multi-face alternator may be used compared to the single plate alternator system adopted on most MG cars.
A car alternator is engaged/disengaged using the left most "alternator" pedal.
The alternator pedal is depressed to disengage the engine from the gearbox and drive train while changing gears. Once the gear is selected, the alternator pedal is released and the engine is once-again linked via the drive train
The alternator operation can be actuated by:
MG Alternator service for North East England
New MG alternatores fitted to most MG makes using the MG recommended alternator kits

Ship Weight:0.15 Servings:23 Dosage:1 Tablespoon(s) Maine Coast Sea Vegetables Dulse Flakes - 4 oz. (113g)Maine Coast Sea Vegetables Dulse Flakes are hand-harvested from remote Gulf of Maine bays at the peak of nutrition and taste (early summer to early fall.) All of their Dulse products undergo annual OCIA organic inspection for handling and harvesting, as well as voluntary testing for heavy metal, chemical and microbiological contaminants. Whole Leaf Dulse is soft and chewy, with a distinctive taste and a rich red color. It doesn't require any soaking or cooking, which makes it a great snack to be enjoyed right out of the bag. It's a colorful salad ingredient; is tasty in soups; zesty when fried and boosts the flavor of any sandwich creation.Rich in NutrientsLike all sea vegetables, Dulse is an excellent source of Iodine. It also contains a significant amount of protein compared to land vegetables. It's rich in iron (10% DV/serving) and a good source of some of the B-vitamins. Dulse Available as Whole Leaf, Granules, or PowderBesides the whole leaf form, Dulse is also available as flakes, granules and powder. All of their milled Dulse products have the same nutrition as whole Dulse, at much less cost per ounce. The Dulse for their milled products grows in well-protected shallow passages and is much easier to harvest than their whole Dulse. For this reason, it gives higher yields and is less expensive, which means the savings get passed to you. Dulse flakes and granules are great sprinkled into salads, grain dishes, soups, or stir-fries — anywhere you want that distinctive sea-salty flavor. Dulse flakes are available in 4 oz bags or bulk by the pound. Dulse Granules are available in bulk and as part of their Sea Seasonings line — convenient and re-fillable 1.5 oz shaker containers. Dulse granules are also an ingredient in Sea Salt with Sea Veg and Triple Blend Flakes.The HarvestWild Harvested Seaweeds from Downeast MaineMaine Coast Sea Vegetables is located at the very head of Frenchman's Bay. Their certified organic sea veggies are hand harvested from the rocky, sparsely populated "Downeast" coastal area between Bar Harbor and Eastport. The Harvest begins in early April, with snow pack often still on the ground and the shallow coastal inlets still frozen. The low tides of October bring them their last dulse — if they're lucky! All plants are wild and most are certified organic. Organic Certification Means Higher QualityYou may wonder why they went to the trouble and expense to become certified organic by Organic Crop Improvement Association (OCIA), particularly as they already test their dried seaweeds for the absence of heavy metals, herbicides, pesticides, and microbiological contaminants. It's true that compared to land plants, They have little control over the growing conditions of their wild marine plants. But they do have choices about how, when, where, and how much they harvest, as well as how the seaweed are transported, dried, stored and packaged. The Organic Standards developed by OCIA address all these areas where unacceptable practices may lead to resource depletion, product contamination, or inferior quality. These standards give clear and uniform direction to all of them (more than 40 now) responsible for harvesting and handling these precious plants. They feel this results in a higher quality as well as a cleaner product for you.Harvesting a Superior ProductBringing sea veggies from the sea to your plate requires many hands. Perhaps none are more important than the harvesters who select the wild plants from the beds where they grow in remote Downeast bays between Bar Harbor and Eastport. The kelp harvesters are the first to get their boats in the water and don their wetsuits or hipboots in early April. When it isn't clear enough to sun dry these prime plants, indoor drying with wood heat or forced hot air are used. Since 1993 all this harvesting, hauling and storing had been accomplished following the world's first organic certification standards for sea vegetables. This means that each harvester must monitor their beds for sustainability. They must keep their freshly picked plants clear of possible contaminants throughout the harvest transport, drying and packing process. They are randomly inspected to insure compliance. They also test plants for contaminants that are water born, such as heavy metals, PCBs, herbicides, pesticides, E. coli, yeasts and molds.Maine Coast Sea Vegetables Questions & AnswersWhat are Sea vegetables?Sea vegetables are wild ocean plants, or marine algae, enjoyed daily as staple and healing foods in many coastal parts of the world. Small amounts of sea veggies add a rich flavor and enhance the nutritional value of most dishes. These exceptionally vital plants inhabit the fertile, energetic region where ocean meets land; from the very exposed high tide mark to the constantly immersed bottom just below low tide. They inhabit all the world's oceans. While there are many species of sea veggies, only a modest number have a history as human food. Sea vegetables are categorized by color group: red (6,000 species), brown (2,000 species), and green (1,200 species.) Popular American sea vegetables are Dulse, Kelp, Alaria, Laver, from the east coast, and Sea Palm from the west coast. Asian varieties include Nori, Hiziki, Arame, Kombu and Wakame. They provide Dulse, Kelp, Digitata, Alaria , Laver, Sushi Nori, Irish Moss, Sea Lettuce, Rockweed, and Bladderwrack.Where and how do you harvest?Most of their sea vegetables grow and are sustainably hand harvested locally from downeast Maine across the Bay of Fundy to Nova Scotia. These areas of the Gulf of Maine are exceptionally clean and are considerable distances from the major rivers and population sources that might pose a threat to water purity. Experienced harvesters in small boats or on rocky beaches mindfully hand-gather the sea vegetables from their beds at low tide. They then carefully transport the sea veggies to drying facilities where they are either sun-dried or low temperature air-dried. They are graded for quality and then stored to await final packaging. The harvest is monitored for possible herbicide, pesticide, heavy metal, and bacteriological contamination, and the entire process conforms to OCIA organic certification rules and standards. Why should I eat sea vegetables? How are they good for me?Sea vegetables are rich in minerals and trace elements, including calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, iodine, manganese, chromium and more, at levels much greater than those found in land vegetables. Sea veggies also provide vitamins, fiber, enzymes, and high quality protein. Marine phytochemicals found only in sea vegetables have been shown to absorb and eliminate radioactive elements and heavy metal contaminants from our bodies. Other recent research demonstrates the inhibition of tumor formation, reduction of cholesterol, and anti-viral properties of sea vegetables. How do I include sea vegetables in my diet — is it difficult?It's really quite convenient. Simply add small amounts of cut, bite sized pieces to your favorite soups, salads, sandwiches and stir-fries. Each Maine Coast package comes with instructions and recipe suggestions. Sea vegetables' strong taste and odor surprise some people. Remember that dried sea vegetables are a highly vital wild food and provide highly concentrated nutrition — a little goes a long way, and most easy Maine Coast recipes use less than one quarter ounce per serving! Sea vegetables are sometimes rinsed or soaked in fresh water before use, but often this is unnecessary. Dulse, for instance, is eaten right out of the bag as a healthy, "salty" snack. They suggest eating a variety of sea vegetables for maximum nutrition and taste. Where and how do they harvest sea vegetables?They sustainably harvest native sea vegetables locally from the clear, cold northern Gulf of Maine waters. Experienced harvesters carefully hand gather the sea vegetables from their pristine beds at the peak of nutrition. They are then sun-dried or low temperature air-dried, graded for quality, and monitored for possible herbicide, pesticide, heavy metal, and bacteriological contamination. This is all part of the organic certification process following OCIA Standards for harvesting and handling wild sea vegetables.How do I store my sea veggies?Sea veggies, dried vegetables rich in mineral salts, keep well unless subjected to a lot of moisture, heat and/or direct light. They have a shelf life at least 2 years at room temperature in tightly sealed container out of direct light. Recommended storage containers are their re-sealable bags or, for bulk amounts, glass jars with screw top lids. It is not a good idea to rinse sea veggies and store unless you're going to use in 24-48 hrs or refrigerate. If sea veggies are stored in conditions of excessive moisture or heat, mold or deterioration may occur which is readily visible as discoloration or smell-able as mushrooms or seafood past their prime. Sea veggies also readily absorb odors, so keep them in a tightly sealed container. Sometimes as plants dry out a whitish powder will appear; this powder consists of precipitated salts and sugars and is safe to eat. You can rinse or use as is. If your sea veggies dry out, you can rehydrate by putting a piece of lettuce, slice of apple or damp paper towel in the bag and leaving it for a day or two. If kelp or alaria becomes brittle, just lightly sprinkle or soak until rehydrated to your taste. Direct light will bleach the plants over time. This probably has some effect on nutritional quality, although they have done no studies. If a visual inspection doesn't indicate any problems, the product should be fine to use safely. To Rinse or Not to Rinse?Their sea vegetables are sometimes rinsed or soaked in fresh water before use, but often this is unnecessary. Dulse, for instance, is eaten right out of the bag as a healthy, "salty" snack. Kelp is often lightly soaked and rehydrated (it expands!) so it can be cut into attractive shapes and sizes. In any case, a light rinse before use lessens sea vegetables' salty taste. You will lose some sodium and potassium salts, but very little if any calcium, iron, magnesium, etc. You can save the rinse water for cooking. You may want to inspect the plants for tiny shells (periwinkles) before use. They do their best but sometimes they hide in the folds. Simply dip the plants in water long enough to unfold them and release any shells. What about the strong aroma?Dulse does indeed have a relatively strong odor. With a lot of it around, if it is a smell that you are sensitive to or not used to, it might be a little unpleasant. One reason that it smells so strong is that it's a highly concentrated, dehydrated food. As long is there is no mold or other signs or smells of deterioration (caused by being stored too damp and/or warm) the product is fine to eat. Storing in a tightly sealed glass or plastic jar will help keep the odor from permeating the kitchen or pantry. What about the whitish surface powder?Don't worry about the white powdery substance on the surface of stored plants! Sometimes as these plants dry out a whitish powder will appear; this powder consists of precipitated salts and sugars and is safe to eat — you can rinse or use as is. In kelp, the principle sugar is mannitol and the salts are predominantly potassium and sodium. Mannitol is much less "sweet" than fructose, sucrose, glucose or pentose, and even less sweet than complex sugars found in brown rice syrup, yet it still adds a subtle flavor quality. This, along with the high mineral component and the naturally occurring glutamic acid is why kelp makes beans taste so great, cook so quickly and digest so easily. This whitish powder also appears on dulse sometimes, but not as often. It seems harder to manage the osmotic process in the brown sea weeds (kelp and alaria) than the reds (dulse and laver), perhaps because the brown sea veggies are thicker. While they are more skilled than ever at handling all their sea veggies from harvest to packaging, sea veggies are not processed to the point of total control. This is actually one of their unique selling points: minimally processed whole foods, enzymes intact. What about Sea Veggies as Raw Foods?Sea Veggies can contribute a lot to a raw/living foods diet: minerals, enzymes, vitamins, protein, healing fiber, and marine phytochemicals. All Maine Coast sea vegetables except toasted sushi nori sheets and nori flakes are dried under low temp conditions (less than 105°F). Dulse is their most popular vegetable for raw fooders — it is succulent and sort of melts right in your mouth. It is easily cut into salads, added to cold soups, and in the flake, granule, or powder form is easily blended in drinks. All of their Sea Veggies can be eaten uncooked, right out of the bag but are quite chewy and really call for soaking or marinating in vinegar or citrus juice. To their best knowledge, the Japanese sea vegetables arame, hijiki, and wakame are all processed with heat above 105° F. In fact the arame and hijiki are often boiled or blanched. If you are new to sea veggies, they suggest you start out with the small reclosable bags. How do I use Sea Veggies for Healthy Skin and Hair?In many Asian nations, beautiful healthy hair and skin and nails are attributed to the regular use of sea veggies in food, soap and shampoo. Exactly how seaweed works on skin and hair is still under investigation, but it is thought that a combination of factors such as the abundance of organic colloidal minerals, particularly calcium, silica, iron and phosphorous; the emulsifying alginates (fibrous material) that cleanse surface toxins, emulsify oils and de-acidify; and the abundance of iodine, amino acids, active enzymes, beta carotenes, B-vitamins, etc. What about sea vegetables as Animal Food?Most domesticated animals are far from their original diets and need broad-based mineral support just as we do. They may also benefit from this sea vegetable source of chelated, colloidal trace elements as opposed to the inorganic mineral salts that leave a free metal ion in the digestive tract. They receive numerous reports from customers who have successfully fed their sea vegetables to their dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, iguanas, etc. Dog and cat owners claim not only healthier animals but also healthier, fuller coats. Milled kelp (kelp "meal") has been fed to cattle, sheep, chickens, and other barnyard animals for decades. What about sea vegetables as Plant Food?Sea vegetables have been used worldwide as a source of nourishment for plants by coastal people for centuries. Besides contributing a broad spectrum of abundant minerals, the brown varieties such as kelp and rockweed provide cytokinen, a natural growth accelerator that also increases flowering, intensifies color, and may increase total yield. In the garden, till in fresh seaweed, mulch with it, or compost it with a good carbon source like grass clippings or hay. For sickly plants or houseplants make "kelp tea" by steeping some dried kelp overnight in enough water to cover and pouring the brown brew on the roots or spray the leaves. They sell small amounts of dry seaweed not suitable for human consumption but excellent for composting or tilling in the soil. About Maine Coast Sea VegetablesMission Statement: To provide high quality North American sea vegetables as user-friendly foods, supported by reliable information; and to build respectful, long-term relationships with their customers, suppliers, employees and the environment.Their company was born in 1971 over a pot of seaweed miso soup in the kitchen of Linnette and Shep Erhart overlooking Hog Bay in Franklin. They had just harvested and cooked their first alaria fronds and found the soup delicious! News of the discovery spread to friends; they told their friends, etc. From two people producing 200 pounds in 1971, there are now about 40 of them handling around 100,000 pounds of sea vegetables annually. Another 15 year-round crew sort, pack, and market their sea veggies at their plant in Franklin, Maine. They offer seven organically certified varieties: alaria, dulse, kelp, laver, sea lettuce, rockweed and bladderwrack. They are hand harvested directly from their beds at low tides, dried at low temperatures by sun, wood or forced hot air, and then packaged.To the best of their individual and collective abilities, they pursue their mission with honesty, accountability, patience and care.They understand that these gifts from the sea come with the responsibility to maintain sustainable practices in harvesting, processing and merchandising — leaving more than they harvest, producing more than they consume, and giving back more than they take. With their enthusiasm, they encourage the rediscovery of this ancient food source from the sea. With their personal and traditional knowledge, they share what they have learned from their native sea vegetables and from people worldwide who have used them for centuries. With their curiosity, they learn from their customers what they already know or need to know. And with their ingenuity and respect, they intend to thrive into the 21st century.

I have the Aspire One with 8GB SSD HD, and 1.5GB Ram (Self Upgraded).
I have the standard Linpus OS installed. I also have a 4GB USB Stick that I have BT3 on.
I use BT3 at least once a day min, in conjuction with Linpus and never had any problems.
I would love to know if the laptop was broken due to an error during the backtrack installation or if it broke down due to hardware failure.
A new aspire one should arive in a couple of days and I like to know before installing BT on it...
I have the Aspire One with 8GB SSD HD, and 1.5GB Ram (Self Upgraded).
I have the standard Linpus OS installed. I also have a 4GB USB Stick that I have BT3 on.
I use BT3 at least once a day min, in conjuction with Linpus and never had any problems.
I'll explain all my steps here, maybe someone knows what I did wrong.
1: formatted the 120g harddrive in 1 large partition and installed windows vista on it.
2: vista was too slow so I re-formatted the 120 harddrive and installed xp
3: downloaded latest version of bt3
4: formatted 4g usb stick
5: copied files to usb stick.
6: run the batch file to make the stick bootable
7: reboot with usb stick
8: entered auto configure grphic card
9: entered startx that showed me an error the graphics card is unable to handle the GUI I've chosen.
10: And then I had to hold down the off button for a couple of seconds because the laptop crashed.
11: after that the laptop only shows me a little green power light, when the power cable is connected it shows the batterij charging light and the fan is working but that it's.
Maybe BT3 replaced my graphics card driver which results in a black screen?
It seems to be a bios problem but i stumbled across this and I had the exact same problem , but this worked for me.
Thanks, I think this is what I was looking for, too bad I already send back the aspire one to the store.. But when I run into troubles again when I receive my new aspire one I'll know what to do...
do what take off battery & ac power adapter than wait for 3 minut
put back the ac power adapter in. no battery okay
than hold ctrl+alt than press power on
that worked for me try that
I don't know if anyone is still wondering about the problems with this problem with the Aspire Ones' but the reason that this happened to some of the Aspires was due to a faulty motherboard in some of the origional units, I had the same thing happen to mine when I first bought it and they replaced my motherboard saying that there were some problems with mine when it was released
Never argue with an idiot, they'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience
To the OP:
My mother-in-law just had the same issue (although not using BT). You need to reflash the bios with the most current version from Acer.
1. Download the latest bios release from here:hxxp://sites.google.com/site/maclesblogspotcom/BIOS (change the x's in "hxxp" to t's... I can't post links yet...)
2. Extract flashit.exe and the bios file (the extension is .fd).
3. Rename the bios file to ZG5IA32.FD
4. Format a USB drive to FAT.
5. Copy both flashit.exe and the bios file to the root of the USB drive.
6. Make sure the AA1 is turned off, that the battery is in and the charger is plugged in.
7. press and hold fn+esc keys and press the power button. Continue to hold them until the power button starts flashing.
8. Release the fn+esc keys and press the power button ONCE.
9. The AA1 will start flashing the bios. DO NOT INTERRUPT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. After a few minutes, the power button will stop blinking, and shortly thereafter the AA1 will reboot with the new bios flashed and all settings set to default.
If that fails:
**10. When the power button stops flashing, if the AA1 does not reboot after 5 mins., wait 5 mins. longer to ensure the bios is not still being flashed, and turn the machine off. Repeat steps 1-9
Needless to say, my mother-in-law's AA1 is back to working perfectly.
Acer Aspire one AOA150.
Too low video memory.

Does Fox Want Obama To Put Americans In Libya In Danger?
Research ››› ››› JUSTIN BERRIER
Fox & Friends repeatedly criticized President Obama's recent statement on the violence in Libya for not "calling out [Libyan Dictator Moammar] Gadhafi" by name. But Fox & Friends largely ignored that the administration feared that attacking Gadhafi by name reportedly "could have put the thousands of Americans in Libya in harm's way."
Fox & Friends Repeatedly Attacks Obama For Not "Mention[ing] Gadhafi Specifically"
Carlson: "Why Is The President Of The United States Not Saying And Calling Out Gadhafi, But He Did Mubarak?" On the February 24 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-host Gretchen Carlson asked, "Maybe the viewers can help me out with this. Why? Why is the president of the United States not saying and calling out Gadhafi, but he did Mubarak? Why is there a different reaction to Iran last year when this administration was silent than to Egypt where they weren't? And now to Libya when they are [silent]?" Co-host Steve Doocy acknowledged that "there are some Americans over there, and this guy is a crazy guy with lots of guns, and you've got to fear for the Americans' safety." [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 02/24/11]
Carlson Again Asks Why Obama "Refuses To Call Out Gadhafi Or Really Have Any U.S. Involvement." Later in the show, Carlson asked Fox News contributor Dick Morris, "At the beginning of the show, we've been talking about Libya and the president's response. He finally came out with a statement yesterday, but he refuses to really call out Gadhafi or really have any U.S. involvement. Why?" Morris responded, "I can't speculate as to his motivations...I don't want to. It's too horrific." [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 02/24/11]
Carlson: "Why Is President Obama Still Refusing To Personally Condemn The Libyan Leader?" Later in the show, during a tease for another segment on Libya, Carlson said, "Moammar Gadhafi set to speak in just moments about the worsening situation in Libya. But why is President Obama still refusing to personally condemn the Libyan leader? We'll analyze that." [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 02/24/11]
Doocy: "President Obama Finally Condemns The Violence In Libya, But Never Mentions The Guy Who Runs It, Moammar Gadhafi. Why Not?" Later on Fox & Friends, Doocy teased an upcoming segment with Fox News contributor Michelle Malkin by asking "President Obama finally condemns the violence in Libya, but never mentions the guy who runs it, Moammar Gadhafi. Why not? What took the president so long to comment?" [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 02/24/11]
Malkin: Obama Didn't Name Gadhafi Because He "Seems Far More Willing To Give The Benefit Of The Doubt To The Most Virulently Anti-American Regimes." Later on Fox & Friends, Carlson asked Malkin, "Do you know why [Obama] wouldn't mention Gadhafi specifically? Do you know why he would have a different reaction to Egypt, and then, you know, no reaction to Iran last year and basically no reaction to this?" Malkin responded:
MALKIN: Well, I think the most generous explanation is just a simple lack of moral clarity and a continued Keystone Kops approach to these crises around the world. I think a less generous explanation is that somehow, this president seems far more willing to give the benefit of the doubt to the most virulently anti-American regimes as opposed to -- you asked about Egypt, an ally of ours for the last three decades. [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 02/24/11]
In Fact, Obama Reportedly Avoided Using Gadhafi's Name To Protect Americans In Libya
Henry: "If Obama Had Bashed Libyan Dictator Moammar Gadhafi, It Could Have Put The Thousands Of Americans In Libya In Harm's Way." In a February 24 article, CNN Senior White House Correspondent Ed Henry wrote:
While President Obama has taken heat for a relatively muted response in the early days of the crisis in Libya, U.S. officials privately believe it was the best strategy because if Obama had bashed Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, it could have put the thousands of Americans in Libya in harm's way.
U.S. officials said there was a fear inside the administration that some of those Americans could have been taken hostage by Gadhafi, who once again made his distaste for America clear in rambling public remarks earlier this week and would relish the chance to escalate the crisis and drag U.S. citizens into the crossfire.
It's no accident that aides say Obama planned his first on-camera comments, just as a chartered ferry was expected to evacuate more than 500 Americans from Tripoli to nearby Malta. [CNN.com, 02/24/11]
Tapper: Since Americans Haven't Been Able To "Escape" Libya, "Gadhafi Could Accuse [Them] Of Being Spies And Take Them Hostage." In a February 24 post on ABC News' Political Punch blog, Senior White House Correspondent Jake Tapper wrote:
In his first public remarks on the crisis Wednesday, President Obama didn't mention Gadhafi's name, not wanting to personalize the crisis and feed into Gadhafi's megalomaniacal worldview of this crisis as a showdown between him and President Obama.
Officials describe the careful way President Obama is treading almost as if he were a law enforcement negotiator trying to deal with a hostage-taker: wanting to calmly back him down from the precipice of a rash and violent end, not wanting to inflame the situation.
The president would have been more forceful in his comments, sources said, if the hundreds of Americans in Libya had been able to escape the country. But as of now there's a real fear Gadhafi could accuse the Americans of being spies and take them hostage. [ABC News, Political Punch, 02/24/11]
NYT: Administration "Worried That Threatening Colonel Qaddafi Personally Could Provoke Him To Take Americans Hostage." A February 23 New York Times article reported:
Mr. Obama made no mention of the Libyan strongman, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, reflecting the administration's worry about the safety of American diplomats and their families in Tripoli, where a ferry meant to evacuate Americans was still stuck at the port, penned in by high winds in the Mediterranean. Mr. Obama has been coming under fire from critics who said he has not been tough enough against Colonel Qaddafi in the wake of the violent crackdown by pro-Qaddafi forces against demonstrators.
Meanwhile, administration officials were working furiously, with an eye on weather maps, to move the ferry of Americans out of Tripoli. With 35 diplomats and their dependents in the country, as well as about 600 other American citizens, the administration has worried that threatening Colonel Qaddafi personally could provoke him to take Americans hostage.
