Giuliana and Bill Rancic's Baby Reveal: Are They Having a Boy or a Girl?
At their baby shower on Sunday, Giuliana and Bill Rancic answer the question on everyone's lips: Are they expecting a boy or a girl?
-Lucia Peters
It was an excited weekend for expecting parents Giuliana and Bill Rancic as they hosted family and friends at a baby shower in LA on Sunday—an event which included the news that everyone was waiting for: Blue or pink? Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner! And it is… drumroll, please…
A bouncing baby boy!
It's true: According to E! Online, Giuliana and Bill are expecting a son at the end of the summer. "We are beyond excited to be having a little boy," said Bill; Giuliana, meanwhile, added, "We are so ready for everything that comes with being a new mom and dad! We just can't wait!" Congratulations, you two!

It's been a long road towards parenthood for the Rancics; after two attempts at in vintro fertilization which sadly both ended in miscarriage, a third attempt was derailed after Giuliana was diagnosed with breast cancer last fall. Now healthy and ready to try again, the couple decided to go with surrogacy this time and revealed in April that they were expecting their first child.
Shortly before their exciting April announcement, Giuliana had commented during an appearance on The Today Show, "At the end of the day, whether you have a baby naturally, through adoption, [or] through surrogacy, it's your baby. You're going to love that baby and that's all that matters." True that!
Congratulations again to the family-to-be!

New Documentary 'Bottoms Up' Explores Obsession With Big Butts
Nicki Minaj, Kim Kardashian, Iggy Azalea, K. Michelle. Everywhere you look, there are women flaunting big butts and the obsession has reached an all time high. Whether it's real or fake, women are dying to get big derrieres, yes dying!
Now Moguldom Studios, the folks behind the new black church documentary, are exploring the obsession with big butts in a new documentary called "Bottoms Up."
The sometimes funny but eye-opening flick examines who is the blame for this growing trend and features interviews with plastic surgeons, women who have gone under the knife and men who like bottom-heavy women to present a "well-rounded" overview of the phenomenon.

Recently I've been getting hip pain and groin pain a lot. Don't recall a specific thing that injured it again, just general bjj training I guess. If I lie on my back feet flat knees bent and let my knees fall apart, i sometimes cannot bring the knees back together as my groin kind of Locks out on the right side. I literally have to roll to my right side and bring my knees together and then roll back onto my back. if I do a knee raise on the right side whilst standing and then circle the knee outwards it grinds and clicks pretty bad and the circle of movement is about 70% of the left.
im also getting a continuous pain about 4 fingers width down from the bony part at the front of my hip. not sure if this is some kind of referred pain or a separate injury. is there any rehabbing or specific stretching I can do for this at home?

How can I keep people from finding me on Facebook? I only want to talk with my family and people I know. And how do I stop people from putting stuff on my wall, reading my posts and putting my name on pictures on Facebook? T.M. in Ohio.
In part 1 of this article, I showed you some tips for being hard to find on Facebook. In part 2, we'll work on keeping your Timeline private and giving you control over tagging. On the right side of the Privacy Settings and Tools Page, select "Timeline and Tagging."
Under "Who can post on your timeline?" choose "Only Me" from the drop-down menu.
Now we are going to make sure you know if someone tags you in a post or photo. Select "Review posts friends tag you in before they appear on your timeline" and turn it on. Underneath that you'll find the option to notify friends when you're tagged in a post. You can switch that to "Only Me" or a custom setting to limit the audience.
Right beneath that option is one to determine if Facebook's somewhat creepy facial-recognition program suggests to other people that you might be in their photograph. Switch that to "No One." Even if you aren't hyper-sensitive about privacy, I'd suggest this or you may find your name mentioned in some strange photos.
With these changes, T.M, you'll still be able to see your friends, but they won't see so much of you. Don't get offended if someone calls you a lurker. Happy Facebooking.
– Cynthia

AMES, Iowa — The Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Geospatial Technology Program is offering two geographic information systems (GIS) short courses this summer.
"Essentials of ArcGIS 10.1" is a two-day course that explores the new, easy-to-use features in ArcGIS 10.1: ArcMap, ArcToolbox and ArcCatalog. Participants receive hands-on instruction from experienced GIS specialists, along with a set of newly revised tutorials. The courses are scheduled for 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. June 13-14 and Aug. 22-23. The courses will be conducted at the ISU Extension Community and Economic Development Program office at the Iowa State University Research Park in Ames.
Topics covered in the course include
Although designed for those with no GIS experience, the course has been valuable for GIS users with some experience in order to improve their skills. Experience using Windows-based applications is recommended.
This course is the place to begin for anyone looking for a way to simply get started with GIS technology, said Alan Jensen, an ISU Extension geospatial specialist. The course begins by assuming no knowledge of GIS and builds from that point onto the development of foundational skills. By the second day participants will be designing their own maps and doing simple geospatial analysis. Upon finishing the course, participants receive a certificate of completion, and the instructors continue to make themselves available as participants adopt their new skills for their own projects.
The two-day workshop is $500. Fees include course tutorials, handouts, snacks and beverages. Lodging and meals are not included.
Advance registration is required and enrollment is limited to 12 participants per course. If two or more people from the same organization register for the same course(s) in this series, each registrant also will receive a 10 percent discount. An organization may reserve all 12 seats for a particular course at a 15 percent discount.
Jensen and Chris Seeger, also an ISU Extension geospatial specialists, will be the instructors. Visit the new website at www.extension.iastate.edu/communities/gis for more information, or contact Nora Ladjahasan at email@example.com or 515-294-0734.

The his dad joined in with all the things wrong with Mariah Carey and why Nick is such a great guy and then Mariah started coming out of her apartment in broad daylight on a regular basis. Now, even though Mariah has started the divorce process and has been meeting with attorneys, Nick now denies that he ever said there was trouble in paradise and took to Twitter to praise Mariah and tell the world he loves her and will always loves her for giving birth to their kids. He also said people have been slandering Mariah. Umm, who? As diva as Mariah is I think most people have come down firmly on her side in this. Nick did admit that their marriage is "difficult" right now. Yeah, it must be especially challenging knowing she is talking to lawyers. He wants to be portrayed as the good guy which is why he did this Twitter rant. He leaked that he offered to go to marriage counseling with Mariah and that she turned him down. More stuff to try and show that he is the good and noble one here which no one is buying.

Pitchers will head to the bullpen to cover arm care techniques and conditioning, mechanics, holding runners, and fielding their position.
In the afternoon session prospects will showcase their skills in 2 7-inning games. While two teams are playing, the others will meet with our strength and conditioning staff. The teams will switch at the conclusion of the first game.
At the University of San Francisco, it's about more than what happens between the lines of a baseball field. Our Thanksgiving Prospect Baseball Camp will help us develop your skills and insights as a baseball player, but also as a young man.

We know that tax reporting for hospitals can be a challenge. That's why we have compiled a list of common problems found during Department of Revenue audit examinations, as well as solutions to avoid these common pitfalls.
For medical clinics not operated by a hospital or under a hospital license, please refer to our Medical Clinics Guide.
If you paid B&O tax on amounts received from CHAMPUS/TRICARE you may be entitled to a tax refund
If you have additional questions, please e-mail us or call 1-800-647-7706.
Excise Taxes (Business and Occupation (B&O) and Retail Sales Tax)
Unclaimed Property
Property Taxes
Hospital income is subject to different tax classifications, depending on the:
To report your income correctly, become familiar with the common tax classifications for hospitals:
Applies to gross income from personal and professional services to patients by hospitals operated as nonprofit corporations, operated by political subdivisions of the state, or operated but not owned by the state.
Income reported under this classification includes, but is not limited to:
Champus/Tricare income should also be reported under public or nonprofit hospitals B&O tax classifications. However, RCW 82.04.4297 allows a B&O tax deduction for any amounts received from the United States or any of its instrumentalities, the state of Washington, or any municipal or political subdivision of the state as compensation for health or welfare services. The deductible amounts should be included in the gross income reported on the return, then deducted out by taking an "other" deduction and writing in the explanation "Champus/Tricare income.
Applies to gross income from personal and professional services of hospitals (except hospitals subject to the public or nonprofit hospital B&O tax), nursing homes, convalescent homes, clinics, rest homes, health resorts, and similar health care institutions.
Also applies to nonprofit hospitals for personal/professional services performed for nonpatients that are not specified as taxable under another classification.
Income reported under this classification includes:
Applies to sales by hospitals of tangible personal property that are sold and billed separately from services rendered.
Does not include charges to patients for tangible personal property used in providing medical services to the patient, even if separately billed. Income from medical services is taxable under either the Public or Nonprofit Hospitals B&O classification or the Service and Other Activities B&O tax classification.
Applies to sales of tangible personal property by hospitals that are sold and billed separately from services rendered.
Does not include charges to patients for tangible personal property used in providing medical services to the patient, even if separately billed. Charges for medical services are taxable under either the Public or Nonprofit Hospitals B&O classification or the Service and Other Activities B&O tax classification.
Possible exemptions from retail sales tax for sales of (WAC 458-20-18801):
Use the form Sales Tax Exemption Certificate for Health Care Providers (pdf)
Generally, only items that are purchased for the purpose of being resold to patients may be purchased without paying sales tax. Hospitals should take care to determine those items that they will use themselves, as opposed to those items that will be resold to customers or that are otherwise not subject to retail sales tax at the time of purchase. Certain exemptions for prescription drugs and related items exist (see list above).
Purchases of tangible personal property for resale without intervening use are not subject to retail sales tax. Hospitals purchasing tangible personal property for resale must furnish a reseller permit to the seller to document the wholesale nature of the sale.
Hospitals must pay retail sales tax on items purchased for their own use, including, but not limited to:
If a hospital purchases items from catalogs, the Internet, or other sources and does not pay Washington sales tax at the time of purchase, they owe use tax on the value of the tangible personal property purchased for use in Washington. (WAC 458-20-178)
Hospitals should become familiar with those activities that are exempt from taxation or deductible and identify such income so it is properly handled for excise tax reporting. Income from certain activities performed by specific types of health care facilities or organizations and certain types of income are exempt from B&O and retail sales tax, including, but not limited to:
Grant income is taxable if specific services are performed as a condition of receiving the grant.
Hospitals should become familiar with the government program payments that are deductible, so that the amounts may be deducted from the taxable gross income. Receipts from the following must be included in gross income reported for B&O tax, but then may be deducted from the measure of tax.(RCW 82.04.4297)
Not-for-profit hospitals whose governing board meets the requirements set for a health or social welfare organization (RCW 82.04.431) should become familiar with which government payments made to health and social welfare organizations are deductible and identify such income so it is properly deducted from the taxable gross income. To determine whether the governing board meets the statutory requirements, review your hospital's charter and bylaws.
Receipts from the following must be included in gross income reported. However, not-for-profit hospitals whose governing board meets the health or social welfare organization requirements may take a B&O tax deduction for income from services rendered when the payment is received from:
The hospital or clinic should include the amounts in its gross receipts, then take a deduction under the "other" classification, noting "Champus/Tricare."
Many hospitals perform medical care without making a charge or cancel a portion of the charge. In other cases, medical care is billed to patients at "standard" rates, but later adjusted to reduce the charges to rates established by contract with Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurers.
In these situations, hospitals must report the total amount billed to the patient as gross income, unless their records clearly note the amount of income the hospital is entitled to under contracts with insurance carriers. Adjustments may be taken on future tax returns, after the hospital adjusts it records to reflect the actual amount collected.
If the tax rate changes, the hospital must file an amended return for the tax return upon which the income was initially reported.
As retail and wholesale sellers of certain products, hospitals are subject to litter tax on sales of certain products in Washington. You should become familiar with those items subject to litter tax and identify and track sales of such products, so that the amounts are properly reported on their excise tax return. (WAC 458-20-243) Examples of items subject to litter tax include:
If a hospital produces its own invoices, letterhead, envelopes, etc., it incurs a liability for manufacturing B&O tax and use tax on internal printing charges. The value of such items produced in-house must be tracked and reported under the Manufacturing B&O tax classification. The value of the invoices, letterhead, etc., produced is also subject to use tax for printing charges.
Transportation charges upon which Washington public utility tax has already been paid may be deducted from the taxable amount, as well as brokered natural gas taxes paid on behalf of and billed to the hospitals as clients.(WAC 458-20-17902)
When a hospital issues a high volume of checks, uncashed checks are sometimes missed. Unclaimed property can become "buried" in your outstanding check report because:
To avoid this problem:
For payroll checks, the abandonment period is one year, rather than three years. Ensure payroll checks are tracked using this shorter timeframe.
If you use a payroll service, verify that the outside paying agency properly reports uncashed checks on your behalf.
There is no minimum amount of unclaimed property that may be retained.
Small credit balances should be segregated and reported as unclaimed property after three years. Items under $50 may be reported to the Department in an aggregate to simplify reporting.
Because money may be received from several sources to pay a patient bill, occasionally payments cannot be matched to an amount owed. Such payments are often suspended in some manner.
Review these suspended cash receipts regularly. Those that cannot be matched and are not returned to the issuer should be reported as unclaimed property.
Unclaimed matured bonds or any unclaimed interest or coupons related to bonds issued by hospitals must be reported after three years. This type of property is often handled by a paying agent, but the hospital is responsible to ensure it is reported as unclaimed property.
In some cases, the paying agent may have returned the unclaimed bond monies to the hospital. Hospitals should:
Most property held by public hospital districts ("PHDs") is presumed abandoned after two years. The exception is uncashed payroll checks, which are presumed abandoned after one year.
PHDs must report all unclaimed property, but have the option of retaining some types of unclaimed property. Generally, PHDs may retain unclaimed property that is issued in check or warrant form.
See below for a list of property types and their specific reporting requirements.
PHDs must report and remit the following property types:
PHDs must report and retain the following property types:
After five years, PHDs may:
Hospitals are typically the most complex nonprofit property tax exemption. The exemption includes:
The property must be used for qualified hospital purposes.
The property must be used for qualified hospital purposes.
Definitions used to determine eligibility for property tax exemptions frequently differ from those used by other government agencies or within the hospital industry.
For nonprofit exemptions, a "hospital" is generally defined as property used for 24-hour inpatient care, ambulatory surgery centers, emergency rooms, and property used for the necessary administration of inpatient care. (See definition contained in RCW 84.36.040 and WAC 458-16-270; Board of Tax Appeals decisions; and Superior Court Decisions.) For more information, contact our Property Tax Division at (360) 570-5870
To claim an exemption, hospitals must file an application with the Department by March 31 or within 60 days of acquisition or conversion to an exempt use.
Changes in the use of exempt property must be reported to the Department's Property Tax Division prior to each assessment year.
Applications may be filed up to three years late but may take longer to process. Historical records may be difficult to locate, and historical uses of property are difficult for the Department to confirm.
Keep an accurate and current description of all programs and usage of hospital property.
Changes in property use must be reported to the Department.
Using hospital facilities for non-hospital use may affect the exempt status, as noted by the following examples. To avoid the problems, limit (to the extent possible) commercial, physician, retail, and other external uses of exempt hospital property.
Using hospital facilities for outpatient clinic care does not qualify as a hospital use.
Exemptions are available for:
Using hospital facilities for private physician practices does not qualify as a hospital use.
Retail pharmacies serving clinic patients and the general public do not qualify for exemption.
Hospital labs that only serve qualified patients are typically exempt.
Labs that provide services to physician offices and clinics do not qualify for exemption.
Commercial laboratories contracting with hospitals also do not qualify for exemption.
Hospitals must receive the benefit of the property tax exemption.
If a lease requires the hospital to pay property taxes, the lessor must pass any reduction or exemption of property taxes on to the hospital. A statement from the lessor stating that the benefits of an exemption will be passed to the hospital helps to resolve any questions that may arise.
The Department must confirm property is used for exempt activities. Commonly, we review records to confirm inpatient care, administrative functions, and exclusive use of property for qualified activities. Current and accurate records in the areas noted below will help ensure an accurate determination of your exemption.
Accurate and current floor plans are essential in determining how much of a building and the associated land qualify for exemption. We commonly calculate how many square feet of property are exempt.
An accurate and current description of all programs is necessary to determine how much property is exempt. Changes in the use of property must be reported to the Department.
Charity care records are not typically necessary to administer the exemption for hospitals, but are important for determining exemptions for charitable clinics and social service programs, which are exempted under RCW 84.36.030. Sliding fee scales for services are also commonly requested.
To qualify for exemption, hospital property must be exclusively used for qualified activities.
When property is used for both qualifying and disqualifying uses, the exemption must be denied.
To avoid problems, limit mixed uses of exempt hospital property and maintain accurate floor plans and descriptions of property use.
Physically separating exempt uses and disqualifying uses makes it possible for the Department to grant an exemption.
We can segregate property that partially qualifies for exemption, as long as the exempt areas are exclusively used by the hospital.
Depreciation schedules should include detailed descriptions, including:
Depreciation schedules also must include a description of assets fully depreciated but still in use.
Retired assets no longer in existence at the location being audited should be removed from the depreciation schedule to avoid over assessment.
Personal property listings should include detailed descriptions of the property, including:
Exempt nonprofit hospitals may not be required to file an annual affidavit with their county assessor. Check with your county assessor to determine your reporting requirements.
A detailed listing and description of equipment that is not listed on the depreciation schedule should be provided. The list should also contain a description, the date of purchase, and cost. Some examples include:
Provide an explanation of why balance sheets do not match the depreciation schedule amounts.
All leasehold improvements must be clearly described and itemized. Necessary details include the year of acquisition and the cost, including freight and installation.
Amounts spent on consumable supplies for the year, such as office supplies, cleaning supplies, etc., must be clearly detailed, and copies of receipts or invoices preserved.

Tornados release 2011-2012 Women's Basketball ScheduleSeptember 7, 2011
Brevard has 12 games inside the friendly confines of Boshamer Gymnasium
Brevard, N.C. - Seniors Holli Flippo, Lindsay Brendle and Anna Schlobohm return for their final campaign and Coach Shannon Reid will again man the sidelines as the Brevard College women's basketball team released their 2011-2012 schedule, as announced by the BC Athletic Department on Wednesday morning/afternoon.
The Tornados enter their fourth year as members of the South Atlantic Conference and the NCAA Division II and this season looks to be one of their toughest yet as Brevard will take on three NCAA Regional tournament teams, including a preseason contest with 2011 NCAA Division II National Champion Clayton State University, but the Tornados look forward to the season with optimism behind the stability and determination of Coach Reid's first four year senior class.
Brevard will play 14 games away from the friendly confines of Boshamer Gymnasium, while hosting 12 contests in front of the Blue and White faithful.
The Tornados will open the preseason schedule with a scrimmage in Morrow, Ga. against Clayton State on October 29th.
The second weekend in November marks the beginning of the 2011-2012 regular season, as the Tornados open up the year on the road on Saturday, November 12th, in Belmont, N.C. against the Belmont Abbey Crusaders, and remain on the road as they take on Erskine.
Brevard will return home for their next six contests as the Tornados open their home portion of the schedule with non-conference games against King, Tennessee Wesleyan and Mount Olive, before taking on the Anderson Trojans on November 30th in Boshamer Gymnasium in the 2011 SAC Home Opener.
The Tornados open up the month of December with games at home against Tusculum and Pfeiffer, before parting for Christmas break.
However, Brevard will face one of their toughest tests when they come back, as they make the trip to Asheville, N.C., taking on NCAA Division I UNC Asheville. Last season, the Tornados defeated the Bulldogs in the Justice Center, 71-61, behind a balanced attack in which four Brevard players score in double figures.
The Tornados open the New Year on the road as they travel to Jefferson City, Tenn. to take on Carson-Newman on January 4th, and continue their road trip against Mars Hill, before returning home to host SAC opponent Catawba and Young Harris.
Brevard closes out the rest of the season in conference play as they take on Lenoir-Rhyne (twice), Lincoln Memorial (twice), Wingate (twice), Newberry (twice), Anderson, Carson-Newman, Tusculum, Catawba and Mars Hill, with Senior Day coming on February 22nd against the Newberry Wolves.
The first round of the 2012 Food Lion SAC Women's Basketball tournament will be held at the higher-seed host institutions on February 29th, with the semifinals and finals to be held on March 3rd-4th at Catawba Valley Community College in Hickory, N.C.

Top Line: Capitals clinch Southeast, Isles return to playoffs, more links
By Allan Muir
An annotated guide to this morning's must-read hockey stories:
• Congrats to the Capitals, who won a thriller over the Jets to clinch the Southeast title for the fifth time in six seasons.
• While the rest of the league was content to write Washington off early on, coach Adam Oates never stopped believing in the team. He still looks like a dark horse for the Adams, but he fully deserves to be in the mix.
• The Jets aren't quite good enough yet, but the future looks bright in Winnipeg.
• So they backed in. Big deal. The Islanders are in the playoffs for the first time since 2007!
• Two players who shouldn't expect a postseason call-up to Long Island: Rick DiPietro and Nino Niederreiter.
• This season hasn't provided Buffalo with much to brag about, but at least the Sabres can say they snapped a pair of lengthy Penguins winning streaks in Pittsburgh.
• The Pens could have Paul Martin and James Neal back in the lineup before the regular season ends. But Sidney Crosby...?
• It's not just the loss to the Panthers or the failure to clinch a playoff spot that haunts the Rangers. It's that they continue to lose the special teams battle on a nightly basis. They were brutal on the power play again last night, particularly on a late chance with the game on the line.
• The Maple Leafs aren't listening to the stat geeks who say they are one of the four worst teams to make the playoffs in the last 20 years. But even coach Randy Carlyle admits they have a few corrections to make in terms of their glaring shot differential.
• The Red Wings need more from Valtteri Filppula. Teemu Selanne knows what's missing for the underperforming forward.
• If not from Filppula, the Wings could get a boost from the return of Todd Bertuzzi for tonight's critical contest against the Kings.
• The Flyers honored the city of Boston, then dishonored the Bruins. Though honestly, it was the Bruins who embarrassed themselves. That might have been Zdeno Chara's worst game ever as a Bruin.
• Jaromir Jagr's return to Philadelphia sparked a discussion on NHL economics. Is there anything No. 68 can't do?
• Boston's blueline could sport radically different looks depending on who the B's face in the playoffs. That's swell, but unless they've got Bobby Orr, Brad Park, Ray Bourque and Eddie Shore in cold storage, it may not matter how they rearrange these deck chairs.
• Fortunately for the Bruins, their rivals for top spot in the Northeast suffered their fifth loss in six games last night. Of course, Montreal coach Michel Therrien remains optimistic about his team's chances.
• Here's a nice bit of stat work from Scott Cruickshank. On opening night, the Flames dressed 12 forwards with nearly 6,000 games of NHL experience. In last night's win over the Preds, it was just 982, with half of that belonging to Jiri Hudler. Interesting, then, how it all played out.
• I'm right there with Patrick Reusse. Jonas Brodin gets all the love, but Charlie Coyle's future is just as bright in Minnesota. He's the one Wild player who has consistently stood out every time I've watched them.
• Two goals in the final six minutes helped the Sharks clinch their ninth straight trip to the postseason. That was a resilient performance from a team that looked like a playoff pushover just a couple of weeks back.
• The playoff dream died the way it always does in Dallas. Hard. Few teams will break a fan's heart the way that one does.
• The one truly bright spot of the Stars' season has been the development of their young prospects under AHL coach of the year Willie Desjardins. At least four current Stars are headed back to Cedar Park for the playoff experience.
• Martin Broduer says he still has the desire to compete next season.
• They're talking possible draft picks in Edmonton.Cherie Piper

most every one of those polls has some sort of sample that suggest higher turnout for Obama than 2008.
and if you believe for a second that with crowds of 10,000 to 30,000 coming out for Mitt Romney at his rallies that turnout is going to be higher for Obama that it was in 2008 then the media and polling folks have done their job and lead you to believe he will lose the election.
I have on the other hand have been reading in the same polls, that Rommey is winning by double digits with independents, he leads in categories like who is better for the economy.
So you have to excuse me if a state poll with a D+8 sample and Obama winning by 3 doesn't have me in a panic, when I know the turnout for that state in 2008 was D+4.

Morris is/was the only one predicting blowout, he is worried now since Sandy may have given BHO a bounce.
I heard Barone say he thinks Mitt is a slight favorite and might get about 285 electoral votes.We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. - Benjamin Franklin
Re: RCP Electoral Map Thread
I stand corrected about Barone, just saw he's saying Mitt at 315We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. - Benjamin Franklin
The other thing that most pollsters are forgetting about is this little election in 2010.
Besides, the running joke on Twitter is that places like PPP polling is just there to keep the race close.
can Obama still win? Of course he can. I would lose extreme faith in the country, but he could win. however at this point in time I just don't see it. this is just not 2008. and even people like John King on CNN say the same thing. Like in Ohio, where he said the ground game for Romney is nothing like what it was for McCain, was not even a comparison. And even said that Romney was well positioned to win the state. this is John King, this is Karl Rove.

Early voting in Ohio. And again, this is CNN polling.
So again, what do you believe? That Romney is winning the early vote, but there will be this giant flood of Obama voters on Tuesday that will wipe this out?
This is why you can't trust these polls at this point.

Re: RCP Electoral Map Thread
Some of the state polls have trimmed their +Dem sampling into the mid-single digits or even as low as a few points in Ohio, and they still show it close but slightly favoring Obama.
The issue I think is that early voting is really affecting these state polls and the effect is to exaggerate Democrats support.
Each pollster has a likely voter "screen" that is used to determine likely vs registered voters. It usually includes questions about how many times you have recently voted or whether you know where your polling place is, or whether you have recently moved. The answers to these questions are then scored, and if your score is too low, then you are not included as a likely voter, regardless of your true likelihood of actually voting. Simply saying "I am certainly going to vote" does not qualify you as a likely voter.
But...with early voting, the pollster often gets the response "I have already voted." In these cases, the pollster is simply adding these people to the likely voter group automatically. Even if you ignore the chance the person is lying (and people do lie about already having voted and their likelihood of voting because to most people voting equates to being a good citizen), you still are getting poll results whereby early voters are being "oversampled" by the fact none of them are being screened out of the sample like they would/might have been the day before they voted (by failing the screening questions).
This leads to the result that the party that has more people who have voted early gets more people through the likely voter screen. More people through the likely voter screen means a larger portion of the sample (of likely voters).
All that said, the race is going to be close, Ohio is going to decide it, imo, and Romney, because the auto-bailout issue (which has been mishandled by his campaign), is currently a very slight underdog, imo, though not by so much as to be insurmountable with a good weekend push.
Re: RCP Electoral Map Thread
If the path to the WH goes thru OHio, 30,000 turned out to hear Mitt speak. So much for the bailout which is overblown.
Remember those huge crowds Galen always showed us 4 years ago while smiling. They're gone now. Mitt's getting them even in OHio.
Romney is ahead in FLA by +6 (51-45%). If he gets FLA and PA he doesn't need OHio but with the early voting favoring Mitt as we've been saying for 2 days, looks like Mitt gets those 300 elect votes.
Rubio was on TV Thurs night and said we know OBY will get 48% but we'll win if we get
the turnout. Looks like the conservatives are mobilizing for the turnout and Cuban
Americans in FLA are buying that Ad linking Oby with Chavez and Castro.

Re: RCP Electoral Map Thread
Another reason why it will be over early. Mitt won't even need OH with this and FLA.
President Barack Obama simply isn't working for culturally conservative Democrats in Western Pennsylvania and the proverbial "T" — which is Pennsylvania-speak for the entire state except the city of Philadelphia and the four counties (Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery) abutting the city.
Half of the NRA membership in the entire country is within a four-hour drive of Pittsburgh. These voters do, in fact, cling to their guns and religion.
I posted 3 days ago OBY hasn't even appeared in PA yet. He took it for granted - his biggest
blunder of the campaign. Now this guy says he hasn't been hitting on the conservative DEMs in West PA - you know - that hated Pissburgh Squeelers territory.
and even the MSNBC crowd — will realize once the results are in from Pennsylvania that the other three time zones won't matter.
Come Wed, we'll owe those Squeeler fans some beer.

Re: RCP Electoral Map Thread
The odds of Pennsylvania going for Mitt are not very good, imo. Anything is possible, but I think the effort put towards that state was too little too late. It has been relaibly Democrat for 20+ years, and while this year it will be closer than usual, I don't see how Romney can get over the hump based on the polling, unless Obama's ground game is asleep at the switch in Philly (which I suppose is possible).
Re: RCP Electoral Map Thread
Romney up by 4% in PA. This was posted yesterday on FREEPERS.
Those PHilly Inquirer polls (mainstream DEM media) are not with registered or likely voters and they poll heavily DEMs like the phony Times poll. Susquehanna which did this poll is
the most accurate pollster in PA.
This poll surveys registered or likely voters and even the GOP challenger for Senate
is leading the incumbent. It all adds up.
In the same sample Republican Tom Smith leads Senator Casey by two percentage points in the race for the United States Senate seat from Pennsylvania. Smith is at 48% to Casey's 46% according to this poll.
Looks like the coal miners in West PA are finally turning vs OBY for his war on coal.
Talk about jobs and bailouts. This is killing him.

so if Republicans can mobilize that kind of turnout again on Tuesday, it is possible that they could nab it.
given Romney's campaign strategy, I don't think he would be there on Sunday if he didn't think he had a shot at it.

Oh, lucky lucky US! The darling Anna has once again given us the pleasure of an adorable nail design! It has come perfectly in time for Spring. I must try this!
I started with plain mint green nail polish and let it dry completely on my nails.
Then on my thumb I painted what should look like a stem for a dandelion in black with a nail art brush.
After which I simply added white little "seeds" to my other fingers like I had blown the dandelion and the seeds had floated to my other fingers!
Keep in mind you can use whatever colors you want and that it's not hard to paint lines all over your fingers! It's simple but looks cute when you're finished!

SP164GPBN: C164GPBN Nilakka
The Nilakka was designed by award-winning Finnish knifemaker Pekka Tuominen. Tuominen is one of the world's most knowledgeable experts on the traditional Finnish puukko knife and one of only seven puukkoseppamestari, or "master bladesmiths" certified by the Finnish Ministry of Education. He is an expert at all aspects of bladesmithing and knifemaking and takes great pride in personally crafting every detail of his knives and sheaths. He is also a winner of numerous puukko-making competitions and a member of both the Scandinavian Knifemaker's Guild and the Finnish Knife Association. Spyderco is honored to work with this incredibly talented craftsman and to share his designs through our products.
The Nilakka is the result of Spyderco's longstanding quest to translate the traditional Finnish puukko to a modern folding knife. In the spirit of the other knives in Spyderco's Ethnic Series—and based on the success of Tuominen's FB28 fixed-blade Puukko design—Spyderco asked him to express the critical qualities of the classic puukko in a folder. Through a collaborative exchange and a number of prototype revisions, the knife gradually evolved into its final form.
The Nilakka's handle is built on a framework of full-length stainless steel liners that also provide the structure for its Walker LinerLock® mechanism. The liners are joined by a stainless steel back spacer and covered with machined G-10 scales that create the distinctive diamond-shaped cross section that is a hallmark of traditional puukko design. Bead blasted to ensure a secure grip, the scales are extremely ergonomic and allow easy orientation of the edge by tactile sense.
Made from premium CPM S30V stainless steel, the Nilakka's blade features full-flat-ground bevels that flow smoothly into a zero-ground cutting edge. This unique form of Scandinavian-style ("Scandi") grind offers exceptional edge geometry for superior low-drag cutting performance. It is accented by a subtle swedge on the spine of the blade and Spyderco's Trademark Round Hole. In the closed position, the blade is almost completely contained within the handle and the Round Hole nests in a scalloped recess in the obverse scale. This makes the knife extremely trim, yet still allows it to be easily opened with one hand.
A butt-mounted deep-pocket clip supports right-side, tip-up carry, and makes the Nilakka a true "pocket puukko" that is ideal for everyday carry.
Drawing its name from one of the largest and most beautiful lakes in Finland, the Nilakka is a truly extraordinary folding knife that seamlessly combines form, function, and ages-old Finnish tradition into a stylish, modern cutting tool.

Slicktricks and g5Tekan expandables
Well I have been trying to get this experimenting out of the way for this year....but I already setup my ground blind
So far I have shot these two at 30 yards with absolute happiness on my mind.Perfect Flight....
I do have a question about the shoot through netting on the ground blinds,and....
Is it really effecting the shotout past 20 bad or what?Should I compensate for 30 yards a little?
I got the slicktricks just for the blind,will the netting open up the tekans or should I not worry about it? I am...But I guess I sould just rack one off throuh it just to see or what.
I just don't feel I should be messing around in my honeyhole either.

G5 Tekan expandables
You may want to find out how these are classified. A lot of people are saying they are a barbed broadhead. If I am not mistaken, are illegal in Ill. Just something you may want to look into.
Tekan expandables considered barbed?
You got to be joking right?
Broadheads such as these are barbless,they are expandable cut on impact with rearward-sliding blades that are deployed,not fixed.Steel expandables are legal here in Illinios.
I know some restrictions are in order for wildlife protection jeffro.
I can if you want break a leg so you can be a disabled hunter and get a 190-200 class buck in RockCut state park this year,but don't tell me I can't use these in Illinios because the Tekans are barbed.
A antlered deer is more than 3" in length.
You might want to make sure you put the right tag in the right place this year.
Now,I'm joking........man.
You will see what flys out of our groundblind,you can video me and put me away in the slammer if your right.
You got a climber?

Tekans are legal in IL(NOT considered barbed.)
Some people started a rumor on archerytalk that they were barbed and alot of people got influenced by it being a legality matter.
I found out differently.
My freind shot a doe two days in Wisconsin and it did the job extremely well.It drilled through a rib and came out through the fatty under side through both lungs.He said when he went to gut her out,her lung was almost torn 3/4 of the way apart.she had filled up and went 100 or so yards I guess.
He said that if you make a quartering away shot on any deer and put it in there these broadheads make sure 100% that the are done for.
I was excited to here this.....
And can't wait for more imput on these as hunting season progresses.
Not too long and I will be a hunting fool here.
There is still the legality factor on these presently
I have the whole DNR staff giving me input hopefully today on this barbed issue.
I guess there are some officers who feel they are barbed and will be handing out tickets.
I also know that the G5 company claimed they were legal in this state to a guy and told him to use em.
So,I contacted g5,and hopefully I can get there point of veiw as well,myself.
If the sargeantcaptain tells me I can use these I will...The law is the law.
I will let you know what comes of all of this onceand for all before the hunting season starts.

Looking back, looking ahead
Now that I have finally disengaged myself from the what is commercially and socially — and for some, spiritually (and God bless you, every one) — known as "the holiday season," I have been giving a lot of thought to how good a year 2010 was, the Sun purchase by Oracle and the Novell deal notwithstanding, and what 2011 has to offer.
It looks like 2011 will be the year of the Linux deskt . . . I'm sorry, what? Oh. Well, never mind. Let's skip that one
Looking back at 2010, most recently we had both Russia and Cuba going to FOSS, which must prove Steve Ballmer right about Linux being Communist. After all, I think a young Linus Torvalds was able to see Russia from his house a lot better than Sarah Palin could from Wasilla. Meanwhile, Red Hat — oh, what's in a name anyway, comrade? — became poised to be the first billion-dollar Linux company and stats show that they are gaining market share in the corporate server world. Go, Shadowman! And there's that little green space cadet Android making gains in the various markets where it now works. So despite an Apple/Microsoft shell company buying Novell and the other — and more evil — Larry essentially killing open source at what was once the Camelot-esque Sun, 2010 was a good year.
Of course, 2010 would not be complete without the introduction of Chux, the Linux distro developed by Chuck Norris — A Linux designed by Chuck Norris would require no backups, as it would be too scared of Chuck to fail, and the CPUs run faster to get away from Chuck Norris. You don't boot it, it boots you. Go here to take a look here.
What would I like to see in 2011? Glad you asked. What would be nice would be:
Digital pundits not saying that 2011 is the year of the Linux desktop, because it's won't be. And that's OK. Believe me, until this year when the San Francisco Giants won the World Series, I know the "wait-'til-next-year" drill very well. The year of the Linux desktop will come someday — as it should — but with all the advances Linux is making in server and smaller formats — yes, I'm looking at you, Android — we don't have to put all our eggs in that basket to determine Linux a success. We don't have to thump our proverbial chests and say "this year . . . the desktop," and then when the end of the year rolls around and it isn't, there's not a whole lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth. To say nothing of garment-rending . . . . The fact of the matter is that Linux and FOSS are as healthy as they have ever been, Novell and Sun sale notwithstanding.
Go to the show: Linux shows and expos are popping up all over, so you really have no excuse in 2011 not to go to one. The established ones, like the Southern California Linux Expo (SCALE 9X this year) and OSCON, are now being joined by a whole host of other events throughout North America. Most recently, Indiana gets its own Linux festival in March, aptly titled the Indiana Linux Fest. It joins, in order of appearance (off the top of my head — and forgive me if I forget your expo), SCALE, Linux Fest Northwest, COSSFest in Calgary, Texas Linux Fest, Southeast Linux Fest (in the GNU South), OSCON, Ohio Linux Fest, and Utah Open Source Conference. You'll find me at SCALE, Linux Fest Northwest, COSSFest (hopefully — if they let me out of the country), OSCON and Utah Open Source Conference on an annual basis.
Oh, and one more thing: Lindependence 2011 will be held in early July, around Independence Day, in Felton, California — where Lindependence started a couple of years ago.
Last, but certainly not least:
Large distros carrying their weight in the FOSS realm: First it was the GNOME study by David Neary that had Red Hat, Novell and others carrying the developmental mail for GNOME — Red Hat and Novell with 10-plus percent each — while Canonical came in at, wait for it, 1.03 percent. Fine. That's been hashed out already both on these pages and elsewhere. But the Linux Foundation released its annual report on Linux kernel development late in the year — go ahead and get the PDF file here — and while you're at it, you might want to do a search for Canonical to see how often it shows up. Spoiler alert: It doesn't. And I'm just going to leave it at that, hoping that Canonical and/or Ubuntu shows up on next year's report.
Let's all have a great 2011.

2011 Year of the Linux Desktop? Sure seems like it at the Headquarters of the Panik battalion. With 5 laptops and one
poor old desktop all running Linux, 1 Fedora, 2 Ubuntu, 2 with the wonderful Mint-Debian, 1 with some remix version of Ubuntu, I'd say it sure as hell is the year of the Linux Desktop. And it always will be.

throw off the authorities. Them bassackward conservatives loves them some military men. So, there must be some benefit to belonging to a community? Maybe it is the bigger
knowledge pool. It could be the shared resources, material and talent. Could be that we are all afraid to be alone.
Whatever the reason for your community, it will suffer an
early demise if some of the members are just taking and not
giving back. As LtFSG points out or points towards some very damning information on who is and isn't helping to carry the load in our FOSS Community we should be thinking about how to encourage more participation from all the players.
Nice list of upcoming events for the Linux/FOSS crowd, if there are more please let us know. These events go back to
the Community thing. Talk about giving back? The people who
cobble together these Cons/Fests are putting out a huge amount of time, money, effort and tears. I was able to follow the chatter on IRC for the first Texas Linux Fest, what a task they had. Of course everyone was a professional event coordinator and knew just what to do, lol. Watching the cars roll in for that first TxLF was something I will never forget. A 400+ group of geeks can take your breath away.
There is today's example of Community, we have more.
2011 will be the Year of the Linux Community
December 30, 2010 at 2:39 pm
Every blogger and tech journalist jokes about the whole "year of the linux desktop" thing, but I can't remember the last time anyone seriously prognosticated a sudden massive move to FOSS on the desktop — 2006 maybe? I think even the most dogmatic pundits have long since realized that migration away from Windows (if it ever happens) will be slow, inconsistent, and probably aided by some other fundamental shift (like desktop => mobile).
Or of course, the move to chux.

We're talking about the dreaded genealogical "brick wall," of course — one of those seemingly unsolvable research problems even the Energizer bunny couldn't outlast. The good news is you're not truly at a brick wall until you've looked at every possible record your ancestor could've created (and then some). That's not the case with most family history sleuths who get stuck: They're simply in a rut and don't know what to do next. Maybe your ancestral obstacle isn't really a brick wall — perhaps your genealogical batteries just need a jump-start. Try these 12 proven methods to recharge your research, and you'll keep going and going and going.
For example, all the researchers studying one of the Abraham Riggses of Accomack County, Va., have labeled him as the second son of John Riggs. In the published record abstracts containing John Riggs' 1766 will, he leaves his estate to his son Joseph. Thus, everyone assumes Joseph is the eldest son. But he's not.

Okay. I have heard your notebook open. Now it is my hour, and my hour does not consist of sixty minutes. It can be anything - sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety, one hundred.or beyond numbers even. If it is my hour then of course it has to be consistent with me, not vice versa.
The postscript continues.
The first name today is one not even heard in the West: Maluka. He is one of the most significant mystics in India. His full name is Malukdas, but he only called himself Maluka as if he were a child - and he was a child really, not "as if."
I have spoken on him in Hindi, but it will take a long time for it to be translated into other languages for the simple reason that Maluka is so strange, so mysterious. You will be surprised that in a country like India, which is full of commentators, scholars, pundits, nobody has even bothered to comment on Malukdas because it is so difficult. He had to wait for me. I am his first commentator, and who knows, maybe the last too.
Just an example:
Ajgar karai na chakari panchhi karai na kam, das Maluka kahi gaye sab ke data Ram.
Now I will try to translate it. It will not be exactly the same but I am not responsible for it. The poor English language cannot contain such richness. Maluka says: The snake never goes out to work at a job, nor does the bird ever work. And, says Maluka, there is no need, in fact, because existence provides for all. He was a man Zorba would have liked. He was the man with a little madness and a lot of meditation.
He was so deep in meditation that he says:
Mala japon na kar jibhya japon na Ram, sumiran mera Hari karain main paya bisram.
He says: I don't chant the name of God, nor do I use a rosary for worship. I don't worship at all - who cares for such stupid things! He continues: In fact, God remembers my name, there is no need for me to remember him.. Do you see? A little madness and a lot of meditation. Malukdas is one of the men of whom I can say without any hesitation that he has gone beyond enlightenment. He has become the picture on the tenth card of the Ten Zen Bulls.
Second, the book of the Sikhs: Guru Granth Sahib. It was not written by one single man so I cannot tell you who the author is. It is a compilation from generation to generation. It was compiled from all sources, as no other book in the world. The Old Testament is only Jewish, The New Testament

BT5r2 has the problem of the flashing caps lock when you startx also.
Backtrack 5 (64 or 32 bit) will not go into Xwindows after install to the harddisk. I can boot from the Live CD/DVD and all works fine, If I remember right the 32 bit version worked in a VMware virtual machine unders 64 Bit Windows 7. When installed I login text mode and type startx <enter> and I end up with the CAPS LOCK light flashing and the system hanging with a grey/black screen. I tried fix_splash and no help. I have used Ubuntu 10.04 thru 11.10 in 64 bit mode as well as Blackbuntu 0.3 in 64 bit mode with no issues.
Backtrack 5 R1 fixed the issues I was having with BT 5.0. I didn't start with R1 because I initially thought it was a "release candidate" and not a full release.

EDMOND, OK -- Students in some Edmond, OK, high schools will be able to pay for their vending machine purchases with debit and credit cards in the coming school year.
The Edmond School District has extended its vending contract with the Great Plains Coca-Cola Bottling Co. for three years. Included in the deal is a pilot test of debit and credit card acceptance in the three high schools, according to Edmondsun.com. The bottler said it will extend cashless payment to more machines in the future if the test demonstrates sufficient usage.
The news website quoted superintendent David Goin as being pleased with the $146,104 commission from vending sales that the district's middle schools and high schools earned last school year. The 2011-2012 figures were up $13,000 from the previous year.
Vending sales dipped when the district changed to healthy options a few years ago, but have climbed each of the past three years, Edmondsun.com reported.
Under the extended contract, Great Plains Coca-Cola Bottling Co. will reportedly pay the district an annual $55,000 for exclusive rights that goes to a student activity fund and $20,000 annually that is designated for its athletics programs.

This is a tutorial I put together specifically for the EEE PC. It is derived from pureh@te's guide for a shell install and another guide for the beta from an external site. After following these 20 steps you will have Backtrack 3 running off the solid state disk in no time!
Note: if this hasn't worked for you before, I fixed a few typos, so try again!
You will need...
- An eee pc (4gb or larger SSD)
- A flashdrive (1gb or more) or a blank DVD, and an external USB DVD burner
- USB version of Back|track 3
1. Start by downloading backtrack 3, open the ISO with daemon tools or power ISO, or any other program that will give you access to the folders inside. If you have a DVD instead, just burn the ISO to the dvd using any popular burning program and skip step 2.
2. Copy the BT3 and BOOT folders to your flashdrive. Run the bootinst.bat if you are on windows or bootinst.sh if you are on linux, and make your flashdrive bootable. If you are using windows Vista, please follow the procedure stated below...
Copy BT3 and BOOT folders to your flashdrive. Click Start and search cmd. when cmd.exe appears, right click it and click "Run as Administrator." When it comes up, make sure you navigate to the flashdrive first, and then run the program. If you just type the entire path with the program, it will make your windows hard drive slax bootable only. Then you have no more running Vista. On, the bright side, no more Vista, so its not a total loss!!
***Thanks to governor for the Vista only options***
3. plug your flashdrive into your eee pc, and turn it on. At the grey boot screen, press the ESC key so you come to the boot menu. Highlight your flashdrive and press enter. Choose the 1st selection, Compiz. If an undefined video error comes up, just press SPACE to continue.
4. Once the GUI starts up, open the K menu, and open up xmms(in multimedia.) if they have a white outline around them, continue on. if not, skip to step 9.
5. go back to a working computer, and download the most recent beta of backtrack 3 USB version. It is archived on the remote exploit website.
6. once downloaded, navigate to it, and go to BT3 --> optional --> and copy the cubez.lzm file.
7. plug your flashdrive in, and replace the cubez.lzm file that is on your flashdrive with the one you just copied.
8. repeat steps 3 and 4.
9. format your harddrive, as that is where it will be stored. to do so, foll these commands. My SSD is usally /dev/sdc, so wherever you see that, replace C with whatever letter your SSD is. Also, I will not be creating a swap partition since the SSD does not have much space to begin with, and I have 2GB of ram anyway!!
10. restart, for good measures. boot back into your flashdrive using step 3.fdisk /dev/hdc1
fdisk /dev/hdc1
[enter key]
[enter key]
11. format your disk in EXT3. yes, its journaled, but its less problematic than EXT2, and later in this tutorial you will cut down on some write cycles.
12. Now it is time to copy the files from the flashdrive to the SSDumount /dev/hdc1
mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdc1
mount /dev/hdc1
13. Set up LILOmkdir /mnt/backtrack
mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt/backtrack/
mkdir /mnt/backtrack/boot
cp --preserve -R /{bin,dev,home,pentest,root,usr,etc,lib,opt,sbin,va r} /mnt/backtrack (the underlined is all one command line, dont hit enter inbetween. Also, When I posted, the last folder is all one word, but for some reason it shows with a space between the a and the r. This will take quite a while, just let it go, and grab a cup of coffee or something... it will be done when "bt~#" is back)
mkdir /mnt/backtrack/{mnt,proc,sys,tmp}
mount --bind /dev/ /mnt/backtrack/dev/
mount -t proc proc /mnt/backtrack/proc/
cp /boot/vmlinuz /mnt/backtrack/boot/
now, edit the lilo config file. I will use nano, you can use whatever.chroot /mnt/backtrack /bin/bash
delete everything in it, EXCEPT THE LINE THAT IS vga = 773 the number may be different, but it is the only line that begins with vga that does not have # in front of it. make your lilo.conf look like this.nano /etc/lilo.conf
14. excecute these commandslba32
boot = /dev/hdc
timeout = 60
vga = 773
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hdc1
label = Back|track3
15. Check what letter your flashdrive is assigned, and make sure it is mounted. then copy the xorg config file to fix compiz in the real version. mine is sda1, so change accordinglylilo -v
16. Shutdown and restartcp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /mnt/sda1/
There is a bug that affects some eee pc users where it will hang in the shutdown process. If it comes to a point where nothing is happening for a while, just force it off with the power button.shutdown -r now
17. remove the flashdrive. when you turn on, you will boot from your harddrive. log in with root, password toor. then type startx to start the GUI. If you have gotten this far, congrats, you have Backtrack on your eee pc! all you need to do is fix a few flaws and you can be "auditing" networks in no time.
18. Fix compiz. plug in your flashdrive, click OK, and navigate to BT3 --> Optional. press F4 and a Konsole window will open. Quit the Compiz fusion icon in your panel by right clicking it, and clicking quit
The next time the GUI runs, compiz should be fully workinglzm2dir cubez.lzm /
cp /mnt/sdX1/xorg.conf /etc/X11/
19. Reduce write cycles to your SSD. To do this, we will put all log files in your RAM instead of on your SSD, so if you ever need to daignose a problem, comment these lines out or delete them.
Add these 3 lines to the bottom of that file, and save.nano /etc/fstab
20. Fix Shutdown bug. Some people have a problem where the shutdown process hangs, and they have to force off their eee pc. to fix this, edit the following file.tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=0777 0 0
tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=0777 0 0
tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=0777 0 0
find the line echo "Unmounting local file systems."nano /etc/rc.d/rc.6
add this line just before it
Save and exitmodprobe -r snd_hda_intel
20.Fix Kismet. to do this you must edit Kismet's config file.
find this line...nano /usr/local/etc/kismet.confreplace it with this...source=none,none,addone
save and exit. Note that you may have to start Kismet from the Konsole by typing kismet instead of picking it from the K menu.source=madwifi_g,wifi0,madwifi
Congratulations! you should have a perfectly working eee pc with Backtrack 3 on the solid state drive! if it still isnt working, post something. if I get the time i may add screenshots to this.
P.S. I bet you didnt notice 2 step # 20s

Count me as one who could care less about 4G. I am a heavy wifi user and use less than 1.5 gb a month on my data plan.
I'm sure that half of the 4S users on AT&T with their little fake 4G icon thinks they're already on it anyway so its natural for them not to care about LTE since they think they already have some flavor of 4G already. It's 3G++ at best. In the Little Rock market I did a speed test on a 4S & only got 100-250kbps download. That's barely even 3G.
WOW???? Only surveyed 1000 people out of the million that have iPhones. Sound like a waste of time and inaccurate data. Ya i have educated some people on there 4S including my sister about the 4G signal icon and that its not real 4G and its a play on words and marketing and that the phone still has 3G radio in it still.
4G speed is more a Con, instead of a Pro, as long as the data plan is still so pricy!!
I'm just going to say two things.
1) Apple is stupid for making that fake 4G icon on AT&T iPhone 4Ss.
2) Apple isn't going to make money off of real 4G with the 4G LTE because most people on Verizon realize it is useless because it is hardly supported anywhere in America let alone the world.
Well the 4S tho doesn't even pick up HSPA+. This whole thing is a play on words. The 4S has dual antennas which in theory according to Apple could reach the same speeds as HSPA+ which is considered to be 4G. Watch the keynote from last yr when they announced the 4S.
They explain the whole theoretical deal on stage. But in the end? Still just 3G!
The thing is that yes LTE can support bandwidths of higher that 50Mbps. But the cell phone companies will throttle that down, so HSPA+ and HSUPA and HSDPA have about the same bandwidth speeds. LTE is just a different signal type that's going to blast more "harmless" radiation at us.
Also, you're going to only notice a speed increase when streaming/downloading a massive file. It's like when your home internet gets upgraded from 15Mbps to 30Mbps. You're not going to notice any speed increase when going to your favorite websites or streaming music for that matter. 8 Mbps is about enough to stream an HD video with no lags or grain. Home network getting an upgrade is great because I have 15 devices connected to the internet sharing 30Mbps. I don't need my cellphone to have that much by itself.
yawn. unless you're relying on your phone to be your sole internet connection (and paying a hell of a lot for that) faster download speeds aren't going to mean a hell of a lot, other than going through your cap faster, which will make your carrier smile. add in you have to live in an area that supports LTE to take full advantage of it and plenty of people don't.
i'm not excited in the least about LTE.

When Tarzan is orphaned as a baby deep in the African jungle, the apes adopt him and raise him as their own. By the time the boy is ten, he can swing through the trees and talk to the animals. By the time he is eighteen, he has the strength of a lion and rules the apes as their king. But Tarzan knows he's different. Will he ever discover his true identity?
Love this book! Tarzan is such a heroic and noble fellow.
By far Burroughs best and most famous novel, Tarzan of the Apes tells the story of a boy lost in the jungle and raised by apes in a way that is both more fantastic and more believable than any of the movie versions, all of which miss some major points. Though it has all the ethnocentric assumptions, unbelievable coincidences, and (relatively little) racism of its time, it is still one of the greatest adventure stories of all time.

Mystery solved.
Hill Air Force Base Wednesday afternoon took the blame for loud booms heard late Tuesday along the Wasatch Front, saying they likely were the result of bombing runs on the west desert Utah Test and Training Range.
George Jozens, Hill AFB spokesman, said the booming noises that occurred about 9 p.m. Tuesday could be repeated Wednesday evening when B-52 Stratofortress bombers from Barksdale AFB, La., resume training over the range.
"[This is] likely the explanation for loud noises heard in the northern part of the Salt Lake valley," Jozens said. "Aircraft noises, explosions and other military operations conducted on the UTTR can sometimes be heard on the east side of the Great Salt Lake. If weather conditions are just right, sound will carry, ricochet and even be amplified and travels many miles."
Earlier Wednesday, HAFB officials had ruled out fighter jets stationed in Utah as the cause, saying that none of those aircraft were flying at the time of the booms. Jozens said officials had to go back and check the UTTR schedule to confirm that the Barksdale jets were training and were the likely cause of the noise as their ordnance hit the ground.
The booms reportedly were heard and felt across the Wasatch Range from Weber County south through Salt Lake and Utah counties.
Before the Air Force admission, the source of the booms became a matter of speculation. The University of Utah Seismograph Stations ruled out an earthquake, but confirmed that their ultra-low frequency sound monitoring equipment had picked up the noise.
"It was atmospheric, above ground. Typically, that can be a plane breaking the sound barrier, an explosion or a storm," said seismologist Katherine Whidden.
There also had been no notice of any artillery or munitions training activities Tuesday night at the Utah National Guard's Camp Williams site in southwestern Salt Lake County. There also were no unannounced activities at the base to explain the booms, assured UNG Lt. Col. Hank McIntire.
"We weren't blowing anything up last night. No artillery was being fired, no munitions being blown up. It wasn't us," he said.
There also had been some speculation that the booms which triggered dozens of calls to local law enforcement dispatchers may have been related to booster rocket testing at ATK's Box Elder County facilities. Not so, said Trina Patterson, a spokeswoman for the aerospace company, who confirmed there had been no such testing at the site Tuesday night.
Likewise, Rio Tinto spokesman Kyle Bennett said there had been no night-time blasting activity at the Kennecott open pit copper mine, also in southwestern Salt Lake County.
The National Weather Service, meantime, dismissed storm activity as the cause; but lead forecaster Pete Wilensky said that the winter air inversion plaguing northern Utah's valleys may have bounced the boom sounds over a distance from some unspecified source.
