Position: Give them an open sunny position and any deep well-drained soil including clay.
Cultural advice: They need plenty of nutrients so add Bonemeal and garden compost or well-rotted manure when planting. Rootgrow (beneficial mycorrhizal fungi) sprinkled on the roots will aid root development. Use a rose fertiliser such as Toprose during the growing season.
Pruning: Prune Floribunda roses in early March, removing any dead, weak, diseased or crossing stems. Aim to keep the centre open. Cut back the strongest remaining shoots down to within 25-30cm (10in-1ft) of soil level. Deadhead regularly.

Friday the 13th: Liam's Birth Story
Friday the 13th… Yes, that's right my son was born on Friday the 13th. I am not really one to believe in superstitions such as this, but you do have to admit it's a pretty neat date to be born on. Prior to Liam being born the only other significant Friday the 13th was going to a NYSNC concert when I was 12-years-old. So I think it's safe to say Liam's birth beats that day hands down.
The day before Liam was born Colin and I watched a documentary about natural childbirth and how in today's day and age so many women turn to medicine when it comes to birth. During my whole pregnancy I never once entertained the idea of using pain medicine during labor. I drilled into my head that women were meant to have babies and there is no need for medical intervention, I know I sound a little hypocritically when I say this, because I did have him in a hospital. But, the need for an epidural, medical induction and any other unnecessary procedure seemed so strange to me. Now, I don't want to sound demeaning toward those who do utilize medicine during childbirth- I want to make it clear that those options just weren't for me and I support those who chose those methods. The reason I am writing about Liam's birth is I think it's important for women to be proud of their accomplishment and to share their experience. So many people are fearful of childbirth because our society has made us believe birth is such a negative and horrendous event. So I'd like to share Liam's birth story; even though I did experience pain and I did have a few negative moment.
I woke up just before 1am on January 13th, 2012 with pain in my low back. The pain wasn't bad at all, it was just noticeable. I decided to get up drink some water and walk around, assuming it would just go away, but it didn't. At this point about an hour had past so I started timing them. I would have one that was 3 minutes apart, then one at 5 minutes, then one that was 2 minutes apart, and so on. I was so confused because they felt irregular, but were getting more intense. I still didn't think they were real contractions. I continued walking around, sitting on an exercise and I even tried going back to sleep which, was impossible. At about 3:30am I finally decided to wake Colin up to see what he thought, because in my mind I wasn't in labor. He was so supportive he got up immediately and drew me a bath (we were told that if it was real labor the contractions would progress and if it wasn't they would stop.) The bath actually relieved the pain in back so I continued to think it was false labor. After getting out of the bath everything got much more intense, I continued to labor at home till about 8am and decided to call my midwife after having a really strong contraction that made me throw up. She told me to head in to the hospital to get checked; she figured I was in early labor. As Colin started gathering all of our things my contractions seemed to get less intense and I didn't want to go to the hospital just to get turned away.
Once we got to the hospital, they checked me and I was 4.5cm dilated, 100% effaced and at +1 station… he was extremely low. My contractions were getting much stronger but I could only feel them in my back and now in my tailbone. During the next 11 hours of labor that was the only pain I experienced, severe tailbone pain. Prior to having Liam I broke my tailbone twice. Once when I was 15-years-old, when I decided to give cheerleading a try and I was dropped during a basketball halftime show in front of the whole school straight on my butt. And the second time was, almost exactly a year to date before Liam was born (11/1/11). It was first day of marathon training and I slipped on a huge patch of ice. I blame my labor pains on cheerleading and snowy-icy weather!
During labor every once in a while I would have a contraction that didn't affect my tailbone and it was a breeze. I honestly think that had my tailbone not been an issue I would have had no pain at all during labor.
Right after being admitted, I decided to sit in the Jacuzzi since it relieved my pain at home. After about 2 hours they checked me again and I had progressed to 6cm, so at that point I decided to walk to halls. I was told that would help progress things faster. So we walked for another 2 hours and at this point the pain was getting much more extreme and my midwife was sure I had made progress so she checked again and…NOTHING. Absolutely no progress. I went back to the Jacuzzi but was so discouraged- I was in a ton of pain, everything was more intense, I had been up walking around and I hadn't progressed at all. At this point, I became super negative and started to cry. I kept saying "I can't do this, I can't." My nurse that was in there at the time offered me an epidural and I am pretty sure I glared at her. On top of being in pain and discouraged, I was still extremely nauseous. I was given two rounds of nausea medicine and I still managed to throw up at least 5 times during labor. I have never been a fan of throwing up (who is?) but now that I have thrown up during extremely strong contractions… I will never complain about being sick again! At this point, I draped myself over the back of bed, which was supposed to help the pain in my tailbone. I also used the TENS unit to help during contractions, and Colin had to apply a ridiculous amount of counter pressure on my hips. Because I had lost so much fluid due to being sick, I couldn't keep anything down and I hadn't eaten anything since Thursday night at 6pm (he was born at 7:27pm Friday) I was so weak, exhausted and dehydrated they pumped me full of some sort of glucose, sugary concoction to get my blood sugar up and give me the energy to keep me going. After a few hours I started feeling the urge to push but was told I wasn't far enough to do so (I was about 8cm). I had to do everything in my power not to, which was extremely hard. Eventually, I made it to 9.5cm and my midwife told me to push as she stretched me to 10cm!!!!
After 17.5 of labor and awful tailbone pain, I could see the end!!! Now, all I had to do was push him out. Which, I successfully did in under an hour… but just barely though, I pushed for 59 minutes! Right before I started pushing they decided to break my water to keep things going, which I am so happy they did because he found out that Mr. Liam had a bowel movement inside of me, creating thick Meconium. They called the neonatal nurses in so they could work on him immediately after birth. He began crying before he was completely out so he sucked in a ton of Meconium. His cry was strong at first but then it turned into gasping for air which wasn't easy to hear. They had to take him straight to the nursery to pump his stomach and get him on oxygen. Meanwhile, I was stuck in the birthing room and I didn't get to see Liam for 2 hours. During that period the 14 family members who were awaiting his arrival were able to see him through the nursery window and then came to visit me telling me about all his cute features. I was extremely sad that I hadn't seen him, but very happy we had the support from our families and Liam has so many people who love him dearly.
I think it's safe to say the only way I made it through my natural birth was the amazing support I received from Colin. I wouldn't have been able to bring our son in to the world without his help, his love and his positive attitude. His reward: getting to spend the first two hours of Liam's life without mommy…and getting to bond with his son on a very special level! And another special thanks to our amazing doula Becky…we both couldn't have done it without her.
Since we've been home we are still adjusting to restless nights and Liam is still figuring out nursing, which has been a challenge for us but we are pulling through! He is 11 days old today and I will admit it's going too fast already… before I know it we'll be celebrating his first birthday! So even though I may not be fully rested, still have some frustrations about breastfeeding and dealing with the fact that mom or dads chest is a better place to sleep than his crib… I wouldn't trade for the world because sooner than later he'll be all grown up. (As I read this part aloud to Colin, I cried.)

Moore School team wins Montreal case competition
By Peggy Binette, email@example.com, 803-777-7704
A team of Darla Moore School of Business undergraduate students took first place in one of the world's top business case competitions Saturday.
The students -- all seniors -- were among 24 teams from nine countries to compete in the 5th John Molson International Undergraduate Case Competition in Montreal, held Feb. 17 – 23.
To get to the finals, the Moore School team had to win three cases in preliminary rounds, its divisional round and a 24-hour competition, in which it scored the highest point total.
"This is the first time our team competed together," said Jocelyn Paonita, a senior from Summerville, S.C. "Professor (Patrick) Demouy tries to give the opportunity to as many students as possible, so we're a new group. Fortunately, we all get along extremely well and had skill sets that complemented one another, so it worked out perfectly."
After days of competition, five final teams had to create and present a business plan for Nivea's launch of men's shaving and skin care products in Canada. Rounding out the competition were teams from the National University of Singapore, Alto (formerly Helsinki School of Economics), Queensland University of Technology and the University of Alberta.
Paonita, who was named Best Female Presenter for the entire competition, said the swift pace of the competition was difficult.
"The time constraint is a huge challenge," she said.
"In traditional case competitions, we have 24 hours to read the case, break it down, develop a solution or solutions as well as a 20-minute presentation. In this competition, we had only three hours per case for the first three events. This also meant that the first time we saw the entire presentation was when we were presenting it in front of the judges. Fortunately, our team understood the cases well enough and were on the same page to the point where the judges 'couldn't even tell,' as they told us," said Paonita, whose teammates included Adam Kess, Roswell, Ga.; Alexis Morath, Greenville; and Trey Gordner, Fayetteville, N.C.
Faculty advisor Demouy, who has coached Moore School undergraduate and graduate case teams for 14 years, says the team is the best he can recall.
"This team was in one of the toughest divisions at the competition, and they gave one of the finest presentations that I have ever seen by any team," Demouy said. "They provided a well thought out and implementable solution to real world problems. I'm incredibly proud."
In early April the Moore School undergraduate case team will defend its title in the 13th annual Royal Road University Case Competition in Victoria, Canada. The Moore School has won the competition three of the four times it has competed.
This weekend, March 1 – 2, graduate students at the Moore School will head to the University of Denver's Race and Case Ethics Case Competition where it placed second last year.

Tuttle and Whitson receive top honors at 2010 Athletic Award CeremonyMay 3, 2010
St. Marie receives Senior GPA Award
Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College Athletic Department celebrated its annual Athletic Awards Ceremony Monday evening as the student-athletes of the 18 BC varsity sports as well as friends, family, members of the Tornado Club and Community and the BC faculty and staff met to acknowledge the accomplishments of the Brevard College teams and students for the 2009-2010 athletic seasons.
Headlining the list of award winners was the 2010 Male and Female Athletes of the Year in Jonathan Whitson and Johanne Tuttle and the 2010 Senior GPA award winner, Matt St. Marie. Other awards given out at the ceremony including First Year Letter winners, Student-Athlete Honor Roll and SAC Honor Roll recognition and the team individual awards.
This was the third time Whitson has won the BC Male Athlete of the Year, having taken the honor in his freshman and junior seasons. The senior from Clyde, N.C. was a 6-7 forward on the men's basketball team where he became the first Tornado to be named a Division II Bulletin 2010 All-American Honorable mention, capping off a record-setting career which saw Whitson rewrite the men's basketball record book after either setting or retaining 12 single-game, single-season and career records.
He was also selected to the DII All-Star Game in his senior season and was named on the Daktronics. NCAA II All-Southeast Region Second Team and was a NABC All-District First Team selection. Whitson was also named a First Team All-South Atlantic Conference selection and was the 2010 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Tournament Most Valuable Player in leading the Tornados men's basketball team to Brevard College's first SAC title.
Throughout the year, Whitson achieved the personal milestone of reaching 2,000 points in his career and he finished his career at Brevard as the all-time leader in points scored at 2,028, rebounds with 942, field goals made at 785, field goals attempted at 1,510, free throws made with 438, free throws attempted at 603 and as the Brevard College all-time scoring average leader, averaging 17.95 points per game as a Tornado.
Johanne Tuttle finished off her campaign as the singularly most decorated athlete since the program became a four year institution, as she is a four-time national champion and led the Brevard College Cycling team to their first National Championship this past fall in Truckee, Calif.
Tuttle won her first national championship last season at the 2008 Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships held in Banner Elk, N.C., where she won the Dual Slalom event on her way to her first Individual Omnium National Championship. This season, Tuttle was recognized in Sports Illustrated's Faces in the Crowd, winning a national title in the Four Cross event on her way to her second straight Individual Omnium Title. Tuttle's effort led the Tornados Cycling team capturing Brevard College's first National Title as the team finished 130 points ahead of their closest competition.
St. Marie received the Senior GPA award, having compiled a cumulative 4.0 GPA during his time at Brevard College as a member of the BC Cycling team.
The Awards Ceremony also included a special recognition ceremony for the first four year letter winners on the Brevard College Football team and Coach Paul Hamilton unveiled a new award to be given out this season to a senior who exhibited steadfast commitment, courage, dedication, and pride in the Coach John McKissick Award, named after former BC football player and the all-time winningest football coach on all levels of play. The award this season went to senior linebacker Brandon Rawls.
Other key awards given out were the Champs Cup and the Team GPA award. The Brevard
College men's basketball team became this year's Champs Cup champion, recording 563 out of the 3,035 points earned by the Tornados athletic teams. The Champs Cup is a product of the NCAA Champs/Life Skills program which measures Academic Excellence, Athletic Excellence, Career Development, Personal Development, and Excellence in Service.

Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out how to ssh into a Metasploit reverse tcp handler running on my home machine. In case that's a little confusing, I have a machine on my home network with a Metasploit handler running. I can ssh into the box, but I'd like to be able to control that specific console. I don't know if this is possible or not and lots of searching hasn't gotten me anywhere, so here I am... Any help would be appreciated
I hope it's not improper to bring this back up, but I found a solution and I wanted to share to others who find this dead post through google. I used a named "screen" session to launch the handler, then ssh'd in from elsewhere and re-attached to said session. Man I was so naive back then...

In a cage-match between nihilism and Niebuhr, who would you bet on?
Niebuhr "played by the rules" by affirming American exceptionalism, and writing about American innocence.
Reader of Thomas Merton and that bunch (and indeed Niebuhr--look at how Obama apparently immersed himself in Niebuhr).
After reaching Udden, which Niebuhr found to be a town of only three hundred houses, the hill-country became more thickly settled.
The diligence of Niebuhr, though often impeded by illness, was immense.
Niebuhr was foolish enough to die of the Three Days of July, 1830, being a staunch conservative.
Niebuhr, the historian, was distinguished for his energy and success as a man of business.
The several statements of Pollux, Niebuhr and Grote are true in a certain sense, but not absolutely so.
Niebuhr always spoke of his wife as a fellow-worker with him in this sense.
The historian Niebuhr, when he was the Russian ambassador, occupied it as his home.

Question 2: Yes you will loose all configurations and data collected unless you save them (data) in a USB stick.
Question 3: But off course you do have access to all software.

Brevard, N.C. - The Tornados defeated Lincoln Memorial University Saturday afternoon, 81-74, led by Samantha Winn's 31 points and 11 rebounds, her fifth double double of the year. Dayshalee Salaman was one of four Railsplitters to reach double digit scoring figures scoring 19 to lead LMU.
The Tornados improve to 8-13 overall and 2-9 in the conference, while LMU falls to 7-14 overall and 4-7 in the conference.
As a team, Brevard shot 57.7 percent from the field. Holli Flippo scored 13 for the Tornados shooting three of four from the field and a perfect six of six from the foul line, followed by Amber Roberts with 12, as she shot four of five from the field and three of four from 3-point range.
Brevard dominated the first half, shooting 63 percent from the field and 54 percent from 3-point range. Winn scored 17 of her 31 in the first, converting sixty percent of her shots including two three pointers. Amberly O'Dell scored all of her 11 points in the first half to lead the Railsplitters.
The Tornados led by ten through the first ten minutes, as Winn scored eleven holding off LMU to eventually take a 17 point lead later in the half. With under four minutes remaining in the first, Carolyn Mills and Amberly O'Dell made back to back 3-pointers sparking LMU on a 11-2 run to end the half down 43-29.
Brevard saw their biggest lead of the game early in the second, up by 19, but LMU improved their shooting in the second half with help from Salaman who scored 15 of her 19 points in the second half, and Mills who came alive to score 14 of her 17 in the second.
The Railsplitters outscored the Tornados 45-38 in the second half, and came within three points as the two minute mark approached led by Mills' shooting.
Flippo converted all of her six foul shots within the last minute of play to help seal the Brevard victory.
Asheley Watkins, who also led the team with five assists, blocked what would have been a chip shot by LMU, allowing Brevard to keep momentum and take an eight point lead before ultimately topping the Railsplitters, 81-74.
The Tornados return to action in a week when Wingate travels to Brevard for a 2:00 p.m. game. The Tornados will also host PinkZone for Breast Cancer Awareness and will be collecting donations for the Kay Yow Foundation.

Property Management Reform Legislation
Chairman LaTourette and Members of the Subcommittee:
Thank you for inviting me to testify today concerning H.R. 3947, the "Federal Property Asset Management Reform Act of 2002."
I am pleased to be with you to discuss the various reforms in this bill to improve the more than 50-year old statute under which Federal agencies manage and dispose of their real and personal property. The General Services Administration (GSA) believes that agencies should be provided the freedom to manage their property more effectively through the use of appropriate and up-to-date management practices and incentives. Accordingly, we would like to see the existing property management statutes more accurately reflect the current needs of the government and emerging practices of the commercial marketplace. This will help agencies achieve their mission goals by reducing the amount of deteriorated, vacant and underutilized space in the existing Federal real property inventory.
Before I begin my testimony I'd like to introduce the GSA team with me today, which includes Mr. Joe Moravec, the Commissioner of the Public Buildings Service, and Mr. David Bibb, the Deputy Associate Administrator for Real Property in GSA's Office of Governmentwide Policy.
I would like to applaud this Subcommittee on their concern and efforts to improve Federal property management and for taking this on as a priority management reform issue. I also want to thank the Subcommittee for this unique opportunity to discuss the problems, policies, and procedures surrounding the management and disposal of Federal property. As I have already mentioned, on October 15, 2001, the President submitted to the Congress the "Managerial Flexibility Act of 2001." The legislation included a reform proposal to amend many of the existing and outdated provisions of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (the Property Act). On November 1, 2001, the legislation was introduced by Senator Thompson as S. 1612. On March 12, 2002, Representatives Sessions, Davis, and Burton, introduced part of S. 1612 as a separate bill, H.R. 3947. The bill entitled "Federal Property Asset Management Reform Act of 2002," as introduced, was amended on March 14, 2002, with a bi-partisan proposal and reported out unanimously by the House Committee on Government Reform. Both House and Senate bills incorporate reforms that if enacted could improve the management of the Federal Government's billions of dollars worth of real and personal property.
GSA would like to discuss certain provisions that are included
in H.R. 3947.
The Property Act is the law that governs the use and disposal of most classes of Federal real and personal property. This law has served Federal agencies for more than 50 years without significant revision. However, certain elements of the Property Act do restrict the Government's ability to adopt for Federal use many of the "best practices" that are now common, every day practices for the commercial sector.
For example, effective property management requires that agencies consider all phases of the life cycle (i.e., acquisition, use, and disposal) of property. However, the current Property Act is heavily oriented toward the disposal phase.
We believe that H.R. 3947 addresses these shortcomings and incorporates a strategic perspective into property management decisionmaking during all phases of the property's life cycle. Specifically, the bill would achieve the following goals:
Goal #1 - Establishes Effective Property Management Processes and Procedures.
- Asset Management Principles (AMP). Life cycle asset management would be emphasized through the issuance of governmentwide real and personal property AMPs. These principles will serve as the baseline for agencies in their decisionmaking processes. Also, specific principles would be considered when entering into outlease arrangements and using other enhanced asset management tools.
- Strategic Real Property Planning. Real property is vital to accomplishing many agencies' mission. H.R. 3947 should require agencies to develop real property management plans for agency real property through all life cycle phases that are consistent with the agency missions, strategic goals, and objectives.
- Senior Real Property Officer. The head of each landholding agency would appoint a Senior Real Property Officer to oversee the management of real property in accordance with strategic objectives, to follow the Asset Management Principles, to prepare real property management plans, and to generally coordinate agency real property functions and processes. Many of today's corporations clearly recognize the importance and value of their real property and have placed strategic emphasis on asset management. The heads of the Government's landholding agencies should do the same.
- Governmentwide Real Property Information Database. A foundation of this legislation is to coordinate the real property planning and management effort using a database of reliable information regarding agencies' properties. Agencies would maintain and use the information in the database to support sound property management decisions internally and governmentwide.
Goal #2 - Helps Agencies Maintain Property Needed to Accomplish Agency Mission Requirements.
Federal managers are being encouraged to improve agency performance through the use of good, sound management practices linked to their strategic goals. GSA believes that H.R. 3947 provides agencies with common sense, business like practices and techniques to manage their property holdings strategically. The existing Property Act lacks the flexibility and incentives for agencies to manage their property inventories strategically.
The bill would enhance some of GSA's existing authorities and give other landholding agencies several new authorities to address these current limitations under the Property Act. These are:
- Exchange/Sale of Real Property. Landholding agencies would be authorized to exchange or transfer property with other Federal agencies and enter into agreements with non-Federal entities to exchange or sell property as a means of acquiring replacement property better suited for their mission purposes.
- Subleasing. The bill authorizes agencies to sublease vacant portions of government-leased property. As you know, GSA already has the authority to sublease leased space and has used this authority effectively to reduce the costs of otherwise vacant space.
- Exchange/Sale of Personal Property. H.R. 3947 would expand the existing authority to allow agencies to replace personal property or acquire services that perform the functions of such replacement property.
- Outleasing and Public Private Partnerships. The bill would authorize landholding agencies to enter into public private partnerships and to outlease to the private sector property that must remain in Federal ownership. They could also outlease underutilized portions of non-excess government-owned property to promote the full use and optimum performance of the property. Under certain circumstances, the outleasing arrangement could take the form of a public private partnership where the Government would use private sector resources and expertise to repair, renovate, and construct facilities.
GSA supports the appropriate use of these partnerships and believes that the criteria outlined in the bill assures that the use of public private partnerships and other real property management practices (i.e., exchange/sale, subleasing, and outleasing) are economically advantageous to the Federal Government. Also, there are strong protections for the Government included in H.R. 3947. For example, all public private partnership arrangements over $700,000 must be reviewed by the Congress, and there is a required biennial review by the General Accounting Office on the use of these arrangements with a report of findings sent to the Congress.
Goal #3 - Provides Incentives to Dispose of Property Not Needed for Agency Mission Requirements.
As Federal agencies and programs evolve, facilities need to change accordingly. The average age of government-owned buildings is now over 50 years, and many have not been adequately maintained. As a result, many buildings have become inefficient and functionally obsolete.
Unlike the private sector, most Federal landholding agencies have no opportunity to obtain the equity that may be recoverable from the disposal of underused or obsolete property and apply the proceeds toward meeting their on-going facilities needs. This results from the fact that these landholding agencies are simply not authorized to sell, exchange, sublease or outlease properties that no longer support their missions, and to use the proceeds for new replacement or capital projects. Consequently, agencies have to divert resources to hold such underused and unproductive property when in fact those resources could be used to improve other facilities that continue to support agency missions. This has resulted in agencies not optimizing property and retaining property that has little or no functional value to their missions. This bill provides the underpinnings for sound property management decisionmaking, and permits the use of proceeds as follows:
- Personal Property. The bill authorizes agencies to retain the proceeds from the sale of surplus personal property to offset direct and indirect personal property disposal costs.
- Real Property. The bill authorizes agencies to retain the bulk of proceeds from real property transactions and allows such funds to be used to offset direct and indirect real property transactional costs and in meeting agency capital needs.
Mr. Chairman, In addition, I would like to emphasize two significant points.
First, landholding agencies would remain responsible for the proper management of Federal resources and continue to keep the Congress, the President and the public properly informed through existing oversight procedures. These include the submission of agency's strategic plans, asset management plans, annual budget submissions, and the review of all public private partnership arrangements over $700,000.
Secondly, the bill expressly preserves the statutory authorities and responsibilities of Federal landholding agencies and their programs. The bill maintains GSA's exclusive authority to construct and alter public buildings. The bill recognizes that strategic asset management should remain an important part of any Federal agency's mission goals.
In conclusion, I would like to say that improving Federal property management is critical to improving each agency's ability to meet its mission requirements and improving governmentwide performance results. H.R. 3947 under consideration by this Subcommittee and Congress would incorporate the life cycle property management practices outlined here to provide the real property management principles, incentives, and flexibility needed by agencies to effectively manage their portfolios of real and personal property. We look forward to working with you to ensure that legislation is passed this Congress.
Mr. Chairman, this concludes my statement. I am happy to answer any questions you or other Subcommittee Members may have.

Hi, I'v been reading alot about BT5 and I finaly decided to instal it via bootable USB using unetbootin. Everything works fine, I log on with root/toor, enter startx.
Then I wanted to crack my wpa2 connection to test it and get more familiar with it so I followed this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qF92x-coHeE
Here are my problems: (I use wlan0 and mon0 also)
1) after I type airodump-ng mon0, root@bt:-# dissapear and I cannot follow the remaining steps, also I can't highlight or copy the BBSID
2) even if I can't do anything without stopping the search, I let the program run a bit to see if it'd find my network...it found it at start + 2 other WEP protected networks, but after a little while it disappeared from the BSSID and I could only see the 2 WEP.
I googled and googled trying to find solutions but people don't seem to have the exact same problem, I also read a lot about the terminal and the commands and this post is my last resort :O
Thank you for help.
PS: I don't know if I'm in the good section /duh my bad.

Risks of hip and knee replacement
All surgeries have a risk of complications. Understanding these risks and how they apply to you should be part of deciding whether or not to have surgery.
Proper care and planning before surgery may prevent these risks or make them less likely to occur.
Choose a doctor and hospital that provide high-quality care. Then talk with your doctor long before your surgery about what you can do to prevent problems during and after surgery.
Risks That May Occur with Any Surgery
- Breathing problems after surgery. These are more common if you have had general anesthesia and a breathing tube.
- Heart attack or stroke during or after surgery
- Infection in the knee, lungs (pneumonia), or urinary tract
- Poor wound healing. This is more likely for people who are not healthy before surgery, people who smoke or have diabetes, or people who take medicines that weaken the immune system.
- An allergic reaction to any of the medicines you receive is rare, but one may occur. Some of these reactions may be life threatening.
- Falls in hospitals can be a major problem. The cause may be loose gowns, slippery floors, medicines that make you sleepy, pain, unfamiliar surroundings, feeling weak after surgery, or moving around with a lot of tubes attached to your body
It is normal to lose blood during hip- or knee-replacement surgery. Some people need a blood transfusion during surgery or their recovery in the hospital. You are less likely to need a transfusion if you are not anemic (have a low blood count) before surgery.
Much of the bleeding during surgery comes from the bone that has been cut. A hematoma (bruise) may occur if blood collects around the new knee joint or under the skin after surgery.
Blood clots
You are more likely to form a blood clot during and soon after hip- or knee-replacement surgery. Sitting or lying down for long periods of time during and after surgery will make your blood move more slowly through your body. This increases your risk of a blood clot.
Two types of blood clots are:
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) -- these are blood clots that may form in your leg veins after surgery.
- Pulmonary embolism -- these are blood clots that may travel up to your lungs and cause serious breathing problems.
To lower your risk of blood clots, you:
- May receive blood thinners before and after surgery
- May wear compression stocking on your legs after surgery to improve blood flow
- Will be encouraged to get out of bed and walk in the halls to improve blood flow
Possible problems with your new joint
Some problems that may occur after your hip- or knee-replacement surgery include:
- Infection in your new joint. If this occurs, your new joint may need to be removed to clear the infection. This problem is more likely in people who have diabetes or a weakened immune system. After surgery, and often before surgery, you will learn what you can do to prevent infections in your new joint.
- Loosening of your new joint over time. This can cause pain, and sometimes another surgery is needed to fix the problem.
- Wear and tear of the moving parts of your new joint over time. Small pieces may break off and damage the bone. This may require another operation to replace the moving parts and repair the bone.
- An allergic reaction to the metal parts in some artificial joints. This is very rare.
Other risks
Other problems from hip- or knee replacement surgery can also occur, but these are rare, including:
- Not enough pain relief. Joint-replacement surgery relieves the pain and stiffness of arthritis for most patients. Some patients may still have some symptoms of arthritis, though. Surgery usually provides enough relief of symptoms for most people.
- A longer or shorter leg. Because bone is cut away and a new knee implant is inserted, your leg with the new joint may be longer or shorter than your other leg. This difference is usually about 1/4 of an inch. It rarely causes any problems or symptoms.

Post subject: Caching The Luce Line
I Received this Email today and was wondering if anyone had any input on it.
I am sending this message in regard to multiple geo-caches that I have discovered on family property located along the Luce Line trail west of Watertown, MN. Over the past few years I have noticed an influx of people trespassing on my property, and it wasnt until more recently that I figured out the root cause. It appears that there are many caches located on my property (which is posted NO TRESPASSING). I don't want to ruin anyone's fun, however this stretch of property is hunted quite heavily in the spring and fall, and this is when I encounter the majority of the trespassers, I would hate for an accident to happen. Beside the fact that having people trample around in the woods completely ruins the chances of hunters in the area. Also, if someone were to get hurt in any way on my property I would be held liable for their injuries. This property and the property adjacent to it is currently being logged and I feel it is just a matter of time until someone gets hurt by a falling tree, a large piece of equipment, or anything of that nature.
I have been in contact with the Department of Natural Resources to help me in resolving the trespassing issues. Listed is the response I received:
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Minnesota Department of Transportation (DOT) both require permission and/or permits for private geo-caches on the lands they manage. Our Parks and Trails and Forestry Divisions should be on State lands. Those in a State Forest may not have a permit but they still need to have permission to be there. There should be none on a DNR State Trail. Placing a geo-cache on a State Trail controlled by the DNR is prohibited.
The person I have been in contact with advised me that it is illegal to have any caches along the Luce Line much less on private property adjacent to the trail. Keeping this in mind, I kindly ask that you remove any caches you may have placed on private property. Also, it may be in your best interest to remove any you may have within the trail right of way because the DNR is aware of them, and it is illegal to have them there. Any caches not removed within the next (7) days, I will personally remove.
Thank you for your quick action.
User's Profile:
NONE of my caches are more than 20 to 25 feet or so off the trail and most are 10 feet or less, none of them are on the other side of any fences.
I'm going to send an Email to him to find out what caches he's talking about but, I was just wondering what you thought about it as others have received the same Email that I did that have caches in the area along the Luce Line.

Might be wise to look up the easement for the trail. It is also not uncommon for land owners to "assume ownership" of land that is not really there's. Sounds like some homework needs to take place.
Oops. [there's] should be [theirs]. BLUSH.

According to the DNR site, they do not require (as I read it) a permit or permission for state forests.
Groups who want to conduct a short-term, sponsored event may be required to acquire a Special
Event Permit if the event involves enough people to disrupt normal use of the forest lands or cause
significant environmental effects.
Generally a cache may be placed in a state forest without receiving a permit from DNR, providing
that no significant damage is caused to commercial or protected species of flora or fauna. All
natural resource regulations must be observed including restrictions on off highway vehicles, rutting
prohibitions, etc.
A cache should be camouflaged to minimize visual impacts.

The Luce Line and other state trails have nothing to do with the State Forests.
The last I knew, State Trails are administered by the same folks in charge of the State Parks and,
, the State Park geocaching guidelines should apply. HOWEVER, per discussions between the Parks/Trails people and Andrew McCracken, they have chosen to not enforce the guidelines in regard to State Trails.
Perhaps Andrew could provide more details.

This reminded me of an earlier discussion, which was about Three Rivers, not state trails, but maybe it applies here. "The main reason they are against caches along the trails is the potential for people caching on private property adjacent to a trail." Also "I think part of their concern is that they don't always own the land the trails traverse, but rather only have an easement." So even if the cache is on the easement, it may still be this guy's property. The easement is for people using the trail, not hiding caches.

without knowing the caches in question, here is a scenario. If the cache is placed 1/2 mile from where the trail crosses the nearest county road, and there may only be .1 from a road that parallels the trail, some cachers would probably take the shorter route thru private property. I personally would not do that, but it is almost guaranteed that some will.

That makes a ton of sense to me pfalstad. I always wondered why trails were excluded from some policies since they are quite attractive places to cache. Protecting the park system's ability to ask for easements makes sense as a reason. I don't think we'd have any long trails like the Luce Line without them.

well it's been 48 hours now with no reply to the Email that I sent him asking him wich caches he claims is on his property.
I'd have no problem removing any caches placed on privet property by mistake but I realy don't think that any of mine are.
I'll keep you all posted.
Thanks Again

I also have a cache which is a tribute to Hooah! and received the same email. I guess I am looking for a little direction on what I should do. The email reads that if I don't remove my cache this land owner will remove it anyway. It has gone missing once already and maybe this explains why. I don't want my cache to cause any trouble but it is only one of a hundred along this trail. I realize I am probably dealing with a different land owner than most and probably the same one Hooah! is dealing with. The DNR site says you are not supposed to hunt on their property which seems to be this guys complaint. He is complaining about geocachers scaring the animals they are hunting but the trail allows horses and snowmobiles to run these trails too. Please let me know what you think I should do.

If it were me, I'd wait until the "landowner" provides a little more information about which caches are the issue. Until then I wouldn't worry, assuming your caches are in the trail right of way.

My $0.03
The guy made the effort to create a geocaching account. He made contacts with people whose names he received on a list. He may NOT know how to determine a GC# or name of a cache. I think he's made a reasonable effort (not like a monkey *** in Aitkin County)
If the Reviewer(s) or the Board have not contacted him, I think someone should. He was very cordial to me in our short correspondence.
It's cold out ... I just burned the soapbox.

I wanted to alert you of a website I operate called CounterHeg
(http://www.counterheg.org). I compile newsletters (no more than 2
per day and 5 per week) of news from around the globe about
various forms of resistance, from music to politics to local
demonstrations, etc. If you have a look at the site, you'll get a
picture of the kind of news I include. You'll also notice that the
site is currently really visually bland-- I assure you, this is
temporary, I just haven't had time to design something as big as I'm
thinking. Anyway, if you like the site, please feel free to
subscribe to the list.
CounterHeg, for the moment, is a newsletter, but is actually part of
a bigger scheme called Counter Hegemony. Counter Hegemony is a much
better way of characterizing the rapidly growing and coalescing
movements from around the world. Yes, this is what most call
the "anti-globalization" movement, but any one involved in the
movement is fully aware that its a particular (liberal economic) form
of "globalization" that we're anti-. Counter Hegemony encompasses
the whole bit, though. Its a cultural movement conscious of the
validity of economistic and socially conscious Marxist arguments and
is also very aware that feminism, environmentalism, critical race
theory, and humans' every day experience sometimes come into
contradiction with each other in irreconcilable ways under the
current power structures. We know about these contradictions and are
willing to press on, with each other, building a new hegemony; one
bent on freedom for all, with equal rights for women, men, blacks,
whites, everyone; with genuine respect for the environment; with
workers democratically controlling every aspect of their labour; with
all parents able to provide for their children; with all people free
to travel across political boarders; with meaningful access to mass
media channels; with votes that actually count in a political system
that actually cares; and with a consciousness that understands that a
(r)evolution doesn't happen overnight, but it does happen, and does
need people fighting for it.

WATCH: Guy denies girlfriend ice cream during basketball game
(Liz Klimas) It might sound harsh at first — denying your girlfriend a bite of your mint chocolate chip cone — but we'd venture to bet many have been in a similar situation before, whether it be as the refusor or the refusee. You know, the she got salad he got fries, now she wants "just a couple" fries situation?
A couple in a similar dilemma was caught on camera at Tuesday's Indiana Pacers vs. Orlando Magic game in Indianapolis. The contested food item is the aforementioned mint chocolate chip ice cream. He's holding the waffle cone. She has a spoon ready to dig in as he's focused intently on the game. But wait, he actually was ready for her move and pulls the cone away — twice.

Step 1: Diagnose the problem
If you can't get a small engine started, or it takes too many pulls to get it going, or it runs poorly, ask yourself this: Did it sit for a long time with gas in it? Like over the summer or winter? If so, your problem is most likely a corroded or gummed-up carburetor. Small engine repair shops earn about 50 percent of their revenue by cleaning or replacing carburetors that are sidelined by old gas.
Before you rip into the sucker, take a minute to confirm that the carburetor's the problem. I'll show you how to do that, as well as how to rebuild it or replace it. Either way, you'll save about an hour of shop labor (about $70). You can complete the project in a single morning, including the time scouting for parts.
I'll assume the fuel valve is on, there's gas in the tank and you've already checked the condition of the spark plug. Start by shooting a one-second burst of aerosol lubricant or carburetor cleaner down the throat of the carburetor. Then yank the cord. If the engine runs (even just sputters) and dies, you'll know you have a fuel problem. If there's no life after a few tries, it's something more serious and you'll have to haul the engine to your garage for some detective work. If it fired, remove the fuel line at the carb and check for gas (Photo 1). It should leak out of both the fuel line and the carburetor. If it doesn't, you've got a plugged fuel line or fuel filter.
Step 2: Remove the carburetor
Next, remove the carburetor from the engine (Photo 2). Place it in a container (to catch the gas) and open the carburetor bowl to check for corrosion (Photo 3). If it's corroded, it's toast—buy a new one.
If there's no corrosion, you can choose to rebuild it rather than replace it. But that doesn't automatically mean you should—rebuilding isn't always cheaper, and it might not even do the trick. In fact, sometimes you can buy a new carburetor for less than (or pretty darn close to) the cost of the rebuilding kit plus the cost of the chemicals (see "How to Find Carburetor Parts and Prices,").
I always just replace bad carburetors, rather than rebuild them.
How to Find Carburetor Parts and Prices
Whether you buy parts from a local small engine repair shop or online, you may need all this information:
- Machine brand (Toro, Snapper, Honda, etc.),model and serial number.
- Engine brand and serial number (Tecumseh, Briggs & Stratton, Honda, etc.). The engine model and serial number are usually located on a plate above the spark plug.
- You may also need numbers from the old carburetor itself (usually stamped onto the carb body or its mounting flange).
I prefer buying locally, but if you're an Internet shopper, try these sources: smallenginepartswarehouse.com or psep.biz.
Step 3: Rebuild the carburetor
If you're game, spread out some shop towels and disassemble it (Photo 4). Match the new gaskets and O-rings in the kit to the old ones. Then set aside any extra parts (rebuilding kits often include parts for several models, so you might not use all of them). Next, dunk the parts in carburetor cleaner (Buy a gallon at any auto parts store) and let them soak for an hour (Photo 5). You can try using spray carb cleaner instead of the high-priced stuff, but it's a gamble (just be prepared to rebuild it again). Then rinse all the parts with water and blow them dry with compressed air. Install the new carb parts and mount it on the engine. Follow the instructions in the kit for adjusting the idle speed and mixture (or ask the parts supplier for advice). Then fire up your engine and listen to it purr.

what are the best toys for a 10 month old baby?
I am a first time mum and i am so excited to by toys for my 10 month old son.
I am thinking of buying educational toys not just the ordinary toys. I am not sure what to buy. I would like to ask for help from the experts. Thanks!
29th August 2013 08:47 PM #2
What a lovely question!
I also have a 10 month old son - it's such a fun age where they are starting to get around more and practice pulling themselves up.
Many toys, and even household objects, can be educational if you spend quality time interacting with your child as they play. Typically, 'traditional toys' can have more educational value than electronic toys. For example, at 10 months old your son may enjoy a shape sorter or he may like to play at rolling a ball between you and himself.
At this age, children are learning about how they can manipulate objects in the world around them. Many 10-12 month olds love to play with water and sand, exploring how their hands feel in it and moving different objects (spades, plastic forks, and buckets) through the sand and water.
As babies get more mobile, they begin to enjoy pushing toy vehicles around and watching how far they can push them.
It is never too young to start reading to your child. Indeed, studies have shown that if you spend time reading three books a day to your baby/ child then they will succeed better both in the educational and social sense. Take breaks throughout your day to sit down with your son and read a book together; your baby will enjoy lots of voices, noises and actions. You could also visit your local library together.
Indeed, action songs are another excellent way to amuse your baby and have fun at the same time. Rhymes with signs such as 'Incy Winsy Spider', 'Wind the Bobin Up' or 'The Wheels On the Bus' are perfect for helping your baby to co-ordinate their limbs better and also help with speech and language development. Here is a resource with baby action songs - there are lots of these available online. If your baby enjoys these then they may like baby signing - which you can either practice together at home or in a group.
I look forward to hearing about the toys you have enjoying with your little one.
Happy playing!

Hi, I'm a mother of a beautiful 11 month old. I was given by Fisher Price a pretty cool toy which sings, moves, dances and records you or your child and sings it back to you. It's called the Bright Beats Dance and Move BeatBo. It's a fun toy which she love to play with. It's a fun way to learn colours, letters and counting.

As it goes on our city site in New York, the same day that brings news of Les Paul's death marks the passing of another musical great: fiery, ferocious, and finesse-filled jazz drummer Rashied Ali. He died at Bellevue Hospital in New York, evidently from causes related to a blocked artery. He was 76.
Ali could be a pummeling bad-ass on drums, but he had an awful lot of touch too, with an ear for imaginative sprays and a mind for meditative ruminations. He's best-known for his playing on a rash of John Coltrane albums that went waaaaay out there on a free-jazz tip starting in the mid-'60s, and he also played in various roles with Pharoah Sanders, Sonny Rollins, Albert Ayler, and William Parker.
Ali played on a lot of really good albums, but an especially classic one—and the one we just happened to pull down from the shelf a few days ago, in retrospect kind of eerily—is Interstellar Space, a 1967 duo album pairing Ali with Coltrane at his most searching. It's just two guys playing, but it stays compelling throughout... and all the more compelling as it lodges deeper and deeper into your memory.

On his show he was asked by Jimmy Kimmel if he ever got high in the White House and Snoop said yes. Snoop says that he told the Secret Service he needed to use the bathroom and was actually asked if it was #1 or #2 just like that. Snoop replied #2 and said he liked to light up a cigarette to wash away the smell. The Secret Service told him he could light a piece of toilet paper. That seems strange, but Snoop said sure and when he went to the bathroom he instead smoked a joint. That is going to smell a bit different than a piece of toilet paper. Do you think the Secret Service goes into each bathroom after just to check to make sure no bombs or anything like that was left? You would think they would have noticed. Maybe they just don't care.

How to deal with a hyper baby?
My two-year old daughter is really a hyper baby. She's very active and playful. Other moms thought that I always feed her some sweets and chocolates. And they ask me not to do so. But it is something that I really don't do, because I want to protect their teeth from too much sweet. Is it really true about these foods that may cause hyperactive to kids? Are there anymore reasons behind this case? Should I be worried now?

Hi MommyAnnrie,
Please tell me what your 2 year old daughter ate today and yesterday. Sometimes it's not just sweets, there can be other things in the diet that can cause a child to be more active than "normal".
I will respond with some suggestions once I get a better idea of what your daughter's diet is like.
Warm Regards,

A lawsuit filed by the family of last year's Cracker Barrel shooting victims
(Brooklyn) The brother of Katie Allen has filed a lawsuit against the Cracker Barrel Restaurant chain. Allen and her two daughters were fatally shot by her husband Kevin last April inside the restaurant.
Terry Gilbert is the lawyer representing the family. He says the lawsuit was filed because the restaurant management didn't do enough that night to protect the female victims in the shooting that was a result of domestic violence.
Gilbert told WTAM 1100's Bob Frantz that Kate told a manager she was in danger,even showing the manager a shot-gun shell Kevin had given to her as a threat. Gilbert says a friend also contacted management that night and told them Kate and the girls should be hidden from Kevin. Management did not want to intervene in the family issue.
Kevin Allen left the restaurant briefly that night, a few minutes later he returned with a firearm and fatally shot his wife and daughters. Kevin was later killed by police gunfire as he tried to drive away after the attack.
