CHARLOTTE, NC -- Snyder's-Lance Inc. and Inventure Foods Inc. have entered into a agreement that will expand Snyder's-Lance route distribution system in Arizona, and increase Inventure's access to the growing Snyder's-Lance national distribution network for its brands.
The snack food companies have been allies for the past 15 years, distributing one another's products in their respective direct story delivery (DSD) networks, and the new arrangement expands that relationship.
Snyder's-Lance Inc., headquartered in Charlotte, NC, manufactures pretzels, sandwich crackers, potato chips, cookies, tortilla chips, crackers, nuts and other snacks under brands that include Snyder's of Hanover, Lance and Cape Cod.
In recent years, it has strengthened its DSD network, helped by a series of acquisitions. The new pact will allow Snyder's-Lance to expand its DSD network in the Southwest and increase route volumes with new partner brands. Inventure Foods' specialty food brands will benefit from wider distribution of a national DSD network of more than 3,000 routes.
Inventure Foods, based in Phoenix, markets snacks under company-owned and licensed brand names, including Boulder Canyon, T.G.I. Friday's, Nathan's Famous and Poore Brothers.
As part of the agreement, Snyder's-Lance will take over a number of independent business owner routes in Arizona from Inventure, a move in line with Snyder's-Lance's plan to continue growing its national DSD distribution network. At the same time, Inventure will receive access to the Snyder's-Lance distribution network with expanded opportunity as a key partner brand.

Good fuel economy and decent power are two of the main points that will ring relevant to those cross-shopping the Rio against any of the competition. In addition to being one of the lowest-priced cars in the U.S. market, the 2016 Rio is unique for being one of the few non-hybrid cars in its class to feature fuel-saving engine start/stop technology, which momentarily shuts the engine off at stoplights. Kia notes that 85 percent of the Rio's materials are recyclable at the end of the vehicle's lifespan and that seat foams are 100-percent biodegradable.
The Rio's great design, inside and out, its strong body structure and enhanced safety and its smooth direct-injection engine and 6-speed transmissions are all other very good reasons to consider the Rio in a crowded class that includes the Ford Fiesta, Chevrolet Sonic, Mazda2, Honda Fit and Toyota Yaris among others.
Compare the 2016 Kia Rio against similar models
The Kia Rio gets a few styling tweaks for 2016 along with an updated interior and a couple of new colors. The front end of the Rio gets the most obvious changes, with a new grill, slightly repositioned headlights and new fog light surrounds. Inside, Kia has added a few higher end looking trim pieces as well as improving their UVO infotainment system.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) provides consumers with vehicle safety information based on independent testing, primarily front and side crash rating results, and more recently rollover ratings, to aid consumers in their vehicle purchase decisions.
Below are pictures of the 2016 Kia Rio. Select the picture you want to view below
Below are the available colors for the 2016 Kia Rio. Select the color to see a close-up view.
The Kia Rio is a front-wheel-drive subcompact that comes in Rio Sedan four-door and Rio 5-Door hatchback versions. The Rio offers good looks, smooth operation, and is equipped well. The current-generation Rio was redesigned for the 2012 model year and has been updated for 2016.
The 2016 Kia Rio Sedan and 2016 Rio 5-Door get revised front and rear fascia that make these little cars look wider. The new grille adopts a geometric pattern, familiar from other Kia models. Foglamps gain satin-finish bezels for 2016, and the rear reflectors have moved to the far corners. Greater use of high-density foam promises to reduce noise, vibration, and harshness on 2016 Rio models. A rearview camera and UVO telematics are now part of the Eco package.
All 2016 Kia Rio models have a 138-horsepower, 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. A 6-speed manual gearbox is standard for the sedan, with 6-speed automatic optional. All Rio 5-Door models come with the automatic. These cars run smoothly, but the driver should not expect swift reactions when it's time to pass or merge.
Fuel economy is average. Both powertrains get a 31-mpg Combined (city/highway) estimate from the Environmental Protection Agency. The Eco model scored 1 mpg higher in city driving.
Because the rakishly styled Rio is among the smallest subcompacts on the market, a snug back seat isn't a surprise. Partially offsetting that shortage of space is the high quality of the materials in the cabin, which convey a premium feeling that's uncommon in the subcompact field. Some interior details, such as the use of toggle switches for climate control, seem like relics of the past, but upper trim levels get a big touchscreen.
Safety scores are middling. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gives Rio a four-star rating overall. But several cautionary notes were added, because of intrusion into the vehicle during crash-testing. Rio was rated Good, its highest praise, by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in moderate frontal-impact, rear-impact and roof strength but only Acceptable for side-impact and only Marginal in the new small-overlap test, not great scores.
The 2016 Kia Rio LX comes with manual gearbox ($14,165) or automatic ($15,395), air conditioning, cloth upholstery, four-speaker audio, CD player, satellite radio, USB port, steering-wheel audio controls, tilt steering, split-folding rear seatbacks, power mirrors, and 15-inch steel wheels. Hatchback is automatic-only. An LX Power package adds power windows and door locks and remote keyless entry.
Rio EX ($17,755) has an automatic transmission, knit cloth upholstery, cruise control, Bluetooth connectivity, power windows with one-touch auto-up/down for the driver, power locks, remote keyless entry with trunk release, foglamps, a tilt/telescopic steering column, and 15-inch alloy wheels.
Rio SX ($20,755) adds 17-inch wheels, a sport suspension, bigger front brakes, paddle shifters, LED taillight and headlight accents, automatic headlights, sunroof, rearview camera, navigation, leather seat trim, and heated front seats.
By employing clean, almost European body lines, Kia stylists working on the Rio sedan avoided the tall-trunk appearance of some subcompact sedans. Still, the five-door hatchback has a more coherent look, resulting in a higher level of vitality than the four-door sedan. In comparison, the sedan doesn't seem quite proportional, and looks slightly tall. Even so, the Kia Rio sedan profile appears more successful than some other subcompact sedans, including the Ford Fiesta.
More than the typical subcompact, the Rio's contrasting grille, coupled with swept-back headlights and a neatly rounded rear end, suggest the lines of a classic hot-hatch rather than an econocar. Angular bodyside creases yield quite a rakish visual persona for a budget-priced car.
Because the Rio is comparatively small, occupants are more likely to feel cramped. Interior space falls short of several rivals, including the Honda Fit and Nissan Versa Note. A sloping roofline doesn't help.
On the other hand, the Rio benefits from a well-coordinated, carefully appointed interior that imparts a premium, almost upscale aura. Comfortable front seats have relatively long cushions, as well as helpful fore/aft seat travel. Seats in the sporty SX have more bolstering than other trims, but are still on the mild side.
Backseat occupants will feel more snug than in a Fit or Versa. When front seats are pushed all the way rearward, there's little space for passenger knees or feet. Headroom also is scant.
Honda's Fit leads the subcompact pack in cargo versatility, but the Rio hatchback isn't so far behind.
Adding the optional rearview camera would be prudent, because the five-door Rio suffers from some serious blind spots.
Rio is a mix of small-car bonuses and shortcomings. The 1.6-liter engine runs and revs smoothly, and sounds are largely subdued when underway. Though short of swift when driven gently, it's not fully sluggish. Energy is sufficient as long you push the pedal somewhat aggressively when necessary. With either transmission, though, acceleration is relatively slow-paced. Think 10 seconds or so, to reach 60 miles per hour, which is lethargic performance.
For a small, economy-focused car on a short wheelbase, Rio handles surprisingly well, remaining composed and collected under just about every driving condition. Steering does not provide sufficient feedback, though it's a little better with the sportier SX. Still, no Rio matches the Ford Fiesta in suitably weighted, responsive steering.
The ride is comfortable, lacking the bounciness, or overreactions that tend to be typical of small cars. Sporty SX trim brings a slightly stiffer ride, largely because of its lower-profile tires, but the difference is minimal.
As for fuel economy, the most thrifty Rio gets an EPA estimate of 27/38 mpg City/Highway (31 mpg Combined) with manual shift, or 27/37 mpg with automatic. The Honda Fit earned a Combined estimate of 36 mpg. An Active Eco button, optional on LX but standard on others, can soften throttle response. With an automatic transmission, it can alter shift timing as well.
The Kia Rio subcompact has an impressive feature and equipment list for the price, as well as a smooth powertrain and a more dashing design than most competitors. Those virtues are offset by meager safety ratings and a snug back seat. The Honda Fit has far more interior space, while the Chevrolet Sonic rides more smoothly, yielding greater comfort. The Ford Fiesta is more fun.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

Originally posted by Inactive UserAlthough Miller's 1986 miniseries only comprised four issues, its jarring tech-noir fable about fallen heroes, corrupted cultures and mutant takeovers rebooted Batman across media. From Tim Burton's 1989 Batman blockbuster and Bruce Timm's influential Batman: The Animated Series all the way to Nolan's live-action epics, everyone has bowed to Miller's revisionism.
The new movie, shepherded by Timm and with Robocop actor Peter Weller as the voice of a resurgent Bruce Wayne, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part One touches down Sept. 25 on Blu-ray and DVD. It's the 15th, and the most ambitious, of the DC Universe animated films.
An excellently cast Weller is joined by Batman: Under the Red Hood's Wade Williams as Harvey Dent/Two-Face, The Social Network's David Selby as Commissioner Gordon and This Is Spinal Tap's Michael McKean as poor Dr. Bartholomew Wolper.
Warner Bros. Animation has not yet divulged who it has cast as Joker, but we're partial to John DiMaggio (Futurama, Adventure Time), whose brutal clown prince of crime reigned over Batman: Under the Red Hood, one of the DC Universe's finest animated films.
Since Miller didn't trot out Superman as Ronald Reagan's stooge until late in the pages of The Dark Knight Returns, the Man of Steel voice-casting information should become available before the second half of the animated two-parter touches down in early 2013

Just out of curiosity, are you running your ssh server with password authentication? If so you may want to look into using authentication keys instead.
I know this is not directly backtrack related but I figured since it's security related you guys may find it interesting so, mods feel free to remove this if you wish.
I want to begin by saying I'm just a home user, I don't work for any large corporation or anything like that so to me this came as *somewhat* of a surprise.
I normally have port 22 forwarded with ssh running on it. This morning I decided to mess with my network and try to attack it remotely, apparently I wasn't the only one.
I don't know what made me do it, but I decided to do a quick
and I quickly noticed 3 other unknown ip addresses had also tried to attack my ssh service just within the last couple days. One of the ip address had just been attacking minutes before I had looked at the log. The others were yesterday before I had tried attacking myself.Code:cat /var/log/auth.log
after a quick panic followed by me ripping cords out of the wall... lol I regained my composure and shut down my ssh service, and closed down my forwarded ports. I made a record of the attacks from the auth.log, nmap scans of the attacking addresses, and a reverse ip lookup of the attacking addresses.
an interesting note..... one of the reverse lookups came back listed on a real time blocking list by sorbs(spam and open relay blocking system)
im sure the attacker(s) was/were probably behind a proxy but two addresses were traced to china the other was inside the u.s.
as I said I don't work for a corporation or anything like that so I don't see any reason for me to be targeted... The only thing I can think of is maybe someone just used a service like shodan or a similar search engine and targeted me just because of the fact I had the service running and they thought they may be able to exploit it.
EDIT: I just thought about another reason for possibly being targeted. A popular search on shodan is webcam... I personally have a security camera setup on my network that would possibly put me under those search results, and bring attention to my ip address.
two attackers were trying all kinds of random usernames/passwords and the other was only attacking the root account.
from what I can see in the logs, no one was able to gain access.
If you're running services like this on your system check your logs more often you might be surprised!
I personally just play with backtrack as a means of educating myself to further secure my home network, but I know a lot of you guys on are actually security professionals and system admins for large corporations. What do you guys do in these situations. What are your methods for intrusion detection and how should I go about locking down my system.
also is there anywhere else I should look to make sure no one has gained access, and where would you go from here?
and questions, comments, or advice are welcome and appreciated

Just out of curiosity, are you running your ssh server with password authentication? If so you may want to look into using authentication keys instead.
"Whatever happened to playing a hunch, Scully? The element of surprise, random acts of unpredictability? If we fail to anticipate the unforeseen or expect the unexpected in a universe of infinite possibilities, we may find ourselves at the mercy of anyone or anything that cannot be programmed, categorized or easily referenced."
thanks for the reply! yes my ssh server uses a password, I'll definitely look into auth keys.

Hi there
I got an Dell XPS 16 which already has the latest ubuntu (oneiric) on. I'm using Ubuntu on this machine since 9.04.
When I create a bootable usb disk and try to install it into an other partition I get graphical errors and cannot see the menu.
But something is working in the background because I can see something moving like a console displaying changing text and if I type enter something seems to change.
My graphic card is a ati mobility radeon hd3670
Hopefully someone can help?

Due West, S.C. - Brevard opened their 2009-2010 season Monday night against non-conference opponent Erskine College. After converting on just three foul shots in the first half, All-SAC selection Samantha Winn scored 19 points in the second half to lead the Tornados with 22 points and 17 rebounds. However, Winn's double-double was not enough to match Aubrey Timmerman who scored 26 points and recorded 7 steals for the Flying Fleet as the Tornados fell 78-73.
The Flying Fleet begin their season 1-0, while the Tornados go 0-1.
Brianna Worley won the opening tip for the Tornados and scored the team's first points when she sunk a shot from beyond the arc for Brevard's first three points. Timmerman's off-ball defense led to the Flying Fleets' first points as turnovers plagued the Tornados allowing Erskine to score 15 points off of 17 turnovers in the first half.
The Tornados saw as big as a ten point deficit in the second half before going on a run to take a two point lead with under ten minutes remaining. Amanda Whitaker, who added 11 points and 7 rebounds for Brevard, was charged with her fifth foul late in the second half sending the Flying Fleet to the charity stripe. After converting on both foul shots, Erskine gained momentum and took back the lead in a game that saw a total of nine lead changes and seven ties
The Tornados came back within reach in the last minute of play threatening to tie or take the lead, but were held off by the Flying Fleet who converted on foul shots to keep the Tornados at a safe five point distance with just seconds remaining for the win.
The Tornados will return to action this weekend when they travel to Jefferson City for a two game series against King Friday night and Converse Saturday night at Carson-Newman.

Els for Autism
"It is several years since our son Ben was diagnosed with Autism. We suspected for a few years that something was not quite right. There's a process that every kid goes through. Crawl at nine months, walk at 12 months, and then start talking and so on. With Ben we started thinking: 'Why is he not crawling? Why is he not walking? Why is he not looking me in the eye?' Things like that. We soon discovered he was quite profoundly impacted by Autism. We established the Els for Autism Foundation in 2009 with the goal of funding an Autism Center of Excellence, the first of its kind in the world. Autism hits families hard and I'll be fighting for the rest of my life to try and help others in the same situation. I hope you'll share an interest and join me in this fight." - Ernie Els
* Els for Autism is a US public charity (EIN #26-3520396), recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as exempt from Federal tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the tax code. Donors should consult their tax advisor to determine whether they are eligible to claim a deduction associated with their donation to this event.

"It is better to risk saving a guilty man than to condemn an innocent one."~Voltaire
Why do we believe the court system become an infallible judge of wrong doing?
We live in an age of politics. Where the guilty are freed because of their money, where the innocent are jailed because lack of proper representation. We are living in a time where cocaine and methamphetamine addicts are being arrested for admitting to their drug use when they try to get help, while Wall Street Swindler's get minimal or no punishment for their dishonesty.
There seems to be an increase in mandatory sentencing of victimless crimes. There are many examples of this:
A man in Tennessee was arrested on his own farm for drunk and disorderly conduct. His nearest neighbor was 3 miles away.
Another man in Tennessee was arrested for Possession of Marijuana, he was smoking a joint on his property. The joint was the evidence of possession he had.
There is a difference between victim and victimless crime, we need to recognize this. We also need to recognize that there is revenue form the federal government for our arrest, incarceration, and probation over a month.
In this day and age, the prison system has become a source of capital to states. We hear all the banter about the cost of prisoners, federal subsidies going to states to house criminals. The federal government does pay states $42 a day per prisoner in federal and state prisons. In response to this, local laws seem to be growing stricter in some regard.
Depending on the level of security needed by the prisoner, many of them work for private companies, in prison, for pennies on the dollar. Whoever runs these prisoner work farms makes a profit on the companies that contract them for their workforce.
I am talking about telemarketers, mechanics, Technical Support Representatives, electronics repair technicians. All of them not necessarily guilty, but none of them not making a wage worthwhile.
While the prisoner make anywhere from $.50 to $2.00 an hour, the prison keeps as much as $5 to $20 an hour paid for by the company contracting them.
If our legal system is now designed to keep the flow of indentured servants in the prison system, do we, as citizens, actually have a chance at getting a fair trial or receiving the justice for the innocent as well?
There is a very unpublicized catch to this. Federal and States are contracting out prison management to private corporations. These private corporations do not declare publicly where the subsidy money is going. The federal government is paying state governments millions of dollars, and the state government are then handing that money over to private contractors, keeping a portion in the states coffers. If there is any corruption in the incarceration process, it can be blamed on the contractor and not any political official.
More importantly, these "Private Prison Corporations" are influencing the political system at an alarming rate. The politicians are claiming that private prison corporations are a boon to a desperate situation in the prison system. These companies receive state and federal funding to manage the prison system, accepting the responsibility of any political flak for abuse and neglect. They also get to legally enslave the prison population in a state of endentured servitude. They receive money for each prisoners hard work from private corporations, while the prisoner get little or nothing in return. Then the "Private Prison Corporations" in turn donate millions of dollars to the politicians that supported their bids for the contracts. This is enslavement and nepotism at its worst.
How many innocents or those guilty of victimless crimes are being imprisoned in the name of the Almighty Dollar?
"The injustice of defeat lies in the fact that its most innocent victims are made to look like heartless accomplices. It is impossible to see behind defeat, the sacrifices, the austere performance of duty, the self-discipline and the vigilance that are there -- those things the god of battle does not take account of."~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Starbucks Wouldn't Serve Deaf Patrons: Lawsuit
(NEWSER) – Starbucks workers at multiple New York City locations ridiculed and refused service to deaf customers—and the company did little to rectify the situation, a lawsuit claims. Hours before one shop was due to close, a group of deaf patrons who met there regularly were told they had to move to a different section; the area was due to be cleaned, employees said, per the suit. But when the customers complied, "the Starbucks employees proceeded to allow non-deaf customers into that area and did not clean the area," the suit says, via Courthouse News Service.
