decent product
By LucyLoo
from Reading, PA
This bed wedge was exactly as described and worked exactly as it was supposed to. For the money it is also a great purchase for someone who desires an adjustable mattress. The only negative was my extra-deep 22" foam mattress. When the mattress was elevated with the wedge- it was almost a sliding down effect- therefore making me lay lower in the bed. That is the only reason I did not keep this product.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great Help
By Great Night's Sleep
from Bear, DE
HS was fabulous with returning this product twice due to a deflating issue. Once with the remote, once with the wedge. The third time was a charm. When the third one arrived, we had already experienced the air coming out of the remote control/motor area. We taped that flimsy washer with plumbers tape and we were golden. No more air escaping from the hose attached to the remote. Now my husband can take care of his acid reflux and snoring and I am enjoying less snoring and a better night sleep. Thanks to HS for offering this fantastic product. It has made a big difference. My husband is even off one medication (Reglan) because of the wedge.
Works well.
By Happy
from Englewood, FL
Have used this for about a week now and so far so good. I have a 14" thick mattress and was surprised to find there was no problem with that. The operation is smooth and pretty fast, and deflating is especially easy with the single-press button. Simple to operate and set up, tho set up is easier with two people than by oneself.
Not what I expected.
By Kev
from Panama City, FL
Was fairly easy to put together and install, but it positioned my mattress that made it difficult to get in and out of bed, unless I deflated it each time. Found the incline uncomfortable and rather just use a couple of firm pillows. Also, had to turn off the compressor after inflating, as it made a clicking noise. Then, had to turn back on to deflate requiring a long reach to the floor to do this.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: At Hammacher Schlemmer, our goal is for you to be delighted with our products and our service.

This Was Great
By Mimi Ann
from Seneca, SC
When it arrived I put it on the bed and inflated the pillow. We used it the first night and my sweetheart was able to get a good nights sleep. This will be a very good item to use when we travel. I strongly recommend this for a couple to enjoy a good night sleep together.
It was great, did the job.....

Product Bulletin, #2382
New Method for Ordering Cisco 7200, 7301, 7304,
7400, and 7500 Series Routers' Software Spare Images
Starting December 15, 2003, the method for ordering software spare images will change for the Cisco® 7200, 7300, 7400, and 7500 Series routers. After selecting from one of the new product part numbers listed in Table 1, customers may choose from one of the images available on the platform. Only one image may be selected per CD-ROM.
Table 1 New Software Spare Product Part Numbers
Following is an example for Cisco 7500-SW-SPARECD. Pricing for the spare software images will remain the same on all platforms.
Figure 1
Step 1—Select 7500-SW-SPARECD
Figure 2
Step 2—Select from One of the Images Available
Customers may continue to order spare software images with the new method or by selecting one of the spare images (indicated by an "=" at the end of the product part number) until February 29, 2004. After that date the old spare image product part numbers will be removed from the price list, and spare software must be ordered using the new method described above.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is "spare software" or "a software spare" on the Cisco 7x00 routers? When do I need to order one?
A. "Spare" software includes a copy of Cisco IOS® Software on a CD-ROM, and most importantly, a license to use that software.
Spare software is required when a customer wants a new version of Cisco IOS Software and does not have a current maintenance agreement, or when they have purchased their Cisco 7x00 routers product used—software licenses are not transferable from owner to owner.
Q. Why is this change being made?
A. Currently, Cisco Systems® offers a product code for each individual Cisco IOS Software image, and an additional product code for the same image as a spare. With the large number of available images, this new method reduces the number of product part numbers, and eases navigation through the ordering process for software spares.
Q. How does ordering change?
A. Previously, customers ordering spare software chose a different product code for each image. With this method, they choose the spare product code for the appropriate platform, then configure it with the appropriate software version—the process is a simplified version of configuring software on a new system order.
Q. Can I still order the old product part numbers?
A. The current format of spare software product part numbers will be available through February 2004. After that, the new method must be used to order spare software.
Q. Does this change the pricing of spare software?
A. No. Although the pricing is allocated differently across the software spare product code and the software image itself, there is no change in the resulting price.
For more information, please contact your Cisco account representative or reseller.

Don't update it. Too many issues. Is there any particular reason you want to update? Or is it just like a "Why not?" type thing?
I have fresh installation of BackTrack 5 R3 KDE 32 on VMware 8.
When I was prompted if I want to upgrade Kubuntu to 12.04, and pressed OK.
After downloading packages, trough install I had endless Errors and prompts asking if I would like to keep an old version of package or install new.
In the end I found, that BT is kinda replaced with Ubuntu 12.04.
So, the question is: How could i update BT5 R5 KDE-32 without this bummer? Should I useinstead?Code:su apt-get update
Thank you!
P.S. Sorry for if my question isn't 100% correct, I'm new at this forum.
Don't update it. Too many issues. Is there any particular reason you want to update? Or is it just like a "Why not?" type thing?
World Domination is such an ugly phrase. I prefer the term World Optimization.
I think there is a setting to disable distro updates. Check the settings for KPackageKit.
I had this same issue. I wen through the whole update not realizing what it was. when it finished it restarted computer and took me to a screen with a gray loggin box with a BT in the corner.
I tried logging in with the root toor and it says i cant use root to login. if i click an option to login consul it allows me but then when i get to the gui its a black screen and when i have none of the awesome options i had before the update and restart.
3 questions...
1. how can i log in tot hat gray box?
2. can i fix this?
3 if i need to re-install or restore to default then how do i do that?
We need more details... Is this a VM or HDD install? I this your default OS or do you use grub bootloader? Etc.. All these things are important. Although, honestly the solution you probably will get is just reinstall everything from a boot disk.
World Domination is such an ugly phrase. I prefer the term World Optimization.
You can use : aptitude hold
It will ignore any upgrades in packages when using safe-upgrade or full-upgrade (distro-upgrade)...
To release it: aptitude unhold
update and upgrade are 2 different things: update will update the dpkg list from repos, the upgrade will install a newer version of distro...
You could downgrade or reinstall BT5..If in VMware, you might find several issues when trying to downgrade..
From my personal stand point of view, I would never use either a VM or USB BT5 installs.....
In your case you can reinstall..But if you want to try VM BT5 downgrade, use the APT preferences file and modify it accordingly...See if you find no issues.
I did this as a dual boot. It was all working fine. so the hard drive is partitioned giving me options to load at start.
so how do i delete and re install?
I have been trying to update backtrack 5 r3 from lucid to 12.04.. not "why not" reason... I have a broadband connection.. from usb 3g
huawei e327...
and it doesn't detect it at all.. and ubuntu 12.04 does even 12.10..so I have to big question
why there's no backtrack based on a newer ubuntu version like 12.04 or 12.10...?
it doesn't support new tools..
about network manager I managed to get a wired connection and installed network manager to get my 3G connection to work.. but it's is not updated..and it doesn't support the network in my country...
Can I have a tutoriel... on how to upgrade backtrack from 10.04 to 12.04.. coz I tried almost every thing and it failes to boot..
and to where's the problem if backtrack cames with ubuntu 12.04 installed on it?

Curse man for his ingratitude! From what thing did He create him? From a drop of sperm He created him and proportioned him. Then He eases the way for him. (Qur'an, 80:17-20)
The foetus is fully formed at the end of the sixth month. The womb then enters the incubation period. All the baby's bodily organs and systems develop fully during that time, and the womb accelerates this growth by providing nourishment for the foetus. This period continues until the baby emerges from the mother's womb.
The birth canal is normally very narrow and it is difficult for the foetus to pass through it. During birth, however, a number of physiological changes take place in the mother's body. These changes allow the foetus to move easily through the birth canal. Some of these changes include: the expansion of the joints in the pelvic bones in order to widen the birth canal, the relaxation of the muscles to further widen the canal and the lubrication of the canal with amniotic fluid.92 These pre-birth changes are described in one scientific source in these terms:
As birth approaches, the amniotic fluid embarks on those activities that will be necessary to facilitate that birth. This fluid comprises sacs, which will enlarge the mouth of the womb, thus allowing the womb to assume the dimensions to allow the baby to pass. These sacs also prevent the foetus from being crushed in the womb during birth. Furthermore, when the sacs burst and release their fluid at the commencement of birth, the path to be taken by the foetus is both lubricated and sterilised. In this way, birth takes place easier and in a manner naturally free of germs.93
This series of occurrences is openly indicated in the verse of the Qur'an, "Then He eases the way for him." (Qur'an, 80:20) However, it has been possible today to determine these physiological changes-which Allah informed us of 1,400 years ago-only with the use of a number of technological devices.

Dogs' Barnes earns first Double-A win
Red Sox's top pitching prospect fans seven over six innings
By Danny Wild / MLB.com | April 19, 2013 5:54 PM ET
A Connecticut native, Matt Barnes had a rough night Sunday in his homecoming in New Britain. And it made him think long and hard about his mound miseries on the bus ride back to Maine.
"I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong, that's what was frustrating. I can usually pick it out, but I couldn't figure it out until after the outing," Barnes said. "I was thinking back on it, I was just replaying it all in my head, but I couldn't put my thumb on it."
Finally, it came to him. Barnes went on a mission this week to correct his mechanics during a bullpen session, and when he took the mound on Friday in Portland , everything clicked. The Red Sox's top pitching prospect allowed one run on five hits over six innings to earn his first Double-A win as the Sea Dogs crushed the New Britain Rock Cats, 12-1.
Barnes, Boston's No. 3 overall prospect, struck out seven and walked one in his third Eastern League start. He threw 57 of 77 pitches for strikes after surrendering seven runs over 3 2/3 innings over a pair of no-decisions.
"I was really happy with [my start]. My first two outings weren't how I drew them up to be," he said. "I was working on it, I got some good work in the bullpen and was able to execute tonight."
Barnes held the visiting Twins affiliate hitless into the third before James Beresford drew a leadoff walk and Jon Gonzalves followed with a one-out single. The 22-year-old right-hander struck out Antoan Richardson and Danny Santana to end the inning, but Daniel Ortiz connected in the fourth on a two-out homer, his third, to cut New Britain's deficit to 4-1.
"It was a good at-bat on his part, 3-2 count, I threw a couple fastballs, I threw a curveball, another fastball ... thought it was a good pitch," Barnes said. "The wind was blowing out. He put decent wood on it, he put a good swing on it."
Barnes (1-0) used a double play to erase a pair of singles in the fifth, then pitched around Josmil Pinto's one-out single in the sixth before handing the ball over to Daniel Bard, who threw two scoreless innings. Pete Ruiz, a 2008 10th-round pick, struck out the side in the ninth to seal Portland's seventh win.
"It's awesome. Our entire bullpen is really good," Barnes said. "We have a lot of guys with experience, and anytime you can hand the ball over to somebody like that, it's going to be awesome, especially a guy like [Bard]. He knows the ropes, he's been in the big leagues; obviously, he knows hows to get guys out. It makes you feel really good."
Barnes said his tweaks on the mound this week opened his eyes to slight adjustments he needed to make on the mound Friday.
"I think my last outing, I was out of sync, moving side to side instead of through the baseball and through the catcher, and that was forcing me to fall off the mound," the University of Connecticut product said. "The command of the fastball wasn't good because of that, I was opening my body. I needed to stay through it more.
"Today was a byproduct of what I was working on in the bullpen, trying to make sure every throw was good, working toward correcting it. When I got on the mound tonight, it just kind of came. It was just there. At times, I would be open and I could really feel it now. I was able to make that correction from pitch to pitch instead of after the game."
Barnes was the No. 19 overall pick in the 2011 Draft and pitched in the All-Star Futures Game last summer in Kansas City. His fastball-curve-changeup combination helped him earn the Big East Conference triple crown in his final season at UConn. Now back in the northeast -- and occasionally in Connecticut -- he's happy where his path has taken him.
"Absolutely, I'm very fortunate that I'm able to be in this area where I can see family and friends, stay in contact with them. It's nice," he said. "It takes a little stress off instead of not seeing anyone for months and months. It makes it a little easier."
Portland gave Barnes a four-run lead in the fourth on homers by J.C. Linares and Tony Thomas and an RBI single by Travis Shaw. Red Sox top prospect Xander Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBIs and a pair of walks to raise his average to .281. The shortstop doubled and scored in the first, walked in the second and fourth, hit a two-run single in the fifth and singled again in the seventh.
Bogaerts has nine hits and three RBIs in his last four games. An MiLB.com All-Star last year, he enjoyed a breakout season when he hit .307 with 20 homers, 81 RBIs and a .373 on-base percentage in 127 games between Class A Advanced Salem and Portland, earning the Red Sox's Minor League Offensive Player of the Year honors.
New Britain starter Blake Martin (0-1) was charged with four runs on five hits and four walks while striking out a pair over four innings.

Cousino Walk-off Lifts No. 8 Baseball to Series Win over No. 14 MSU
March 23, 2013
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- All-America centerfielder Austin Cousino drilled a walk-off single with one out and the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth, lifting No. 8 Kentucky to a 4-3 win in the rubber match over No. 14 Mississippi State, in the second game of the doubleheader, on Saturday evening at Cliff Hagan Stadium.
Kentucky (18-5, 4-2 Southeastern Conference) came to the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning with the game locked at 3-3 since a Hunter Renfroe game-tying homer in the fifth inning. Freshman rightfielder Kyle Barrett doubled off the diving glove of MSU leftfielder Demarcus Henderson, with pinch hitter Jeff Boehm drawing an intentional walk. After a strikeout on a sacrifice bunt attempt, junior shortstop Matt Reida drew a 3-1 walk to load the bases with one out for Cousino.
"Just get the guy in," Cousino said about his mindset in the ninth inning. "I wasn't trying to do too much. I just really wiped away what happened early in the game. I knew that if I could get up, I could get him in."
The preseason SEC Player of the Year entered the at bat 1-for-his-last-16, just after a 7-for-13 outing during UK's SEC opening series win at Florida last weekend. The Dublin, Ohio, native smacked a hard-hit single off the first-base bag against Bulldog star closer Jonathan Holder - with the MSU infield playing in - allowing Barrett to motor home from third base and give UK a 4-3 win.
"Austin's a really good player, good players rise to the moment most of the time," UK head coach Gary Henderson said.
The UK pitching staff limited Mississippi State - the SEC's leading offensive club and NCAA's second-ranked team in hits - to four hits and three runs in the game.
Junior starter Corey Littrell worked seven innings, allowing only two hits and three runs - one earned - walking six and striking out four. Littrell battled through wildness, with his career-high six walks, but allowed only a single and a solo homer to the slugging Renfroe. It marked the 10th rubber match for Littrell in the last two years, with the lefty owning a 7-0 record and a 1.85 ERA in those 10 outings, all UK wins.
"He certainly wasn't as sharp, but we cost him some pitches there," Henderson said about Littrell. "His maturity continues to get better and better. I thought he competed really well."
"I was a little wild early and then the defense made errors, but the biggest thing for me was knowing that I've been in that situation before. I know I can find it at any moment," Littrell said. "We are extremely confident because we've been in this situation before. We know that we're not going to win every game. We're going to lose again because it's baseball, but we're confident and we know that if we play the way we know how, we'll come out successful."
Senior Walter Wijas (2-0) took over in the eighth inning, working the final two shutout innings for the win, allowing two singles and striking out three. In his four-year career, over 64 appearances, Wijas owns an 8-0 record.
The dynamic MSU pitching staff limited the Wildcats to just three hits in the game, as the two clubs combined for seven hits. Cousino, Barrett and Max Kuhn each got hits for UK, with J.T. Riddle and A.J. Reed drawing two walks each. Boehm, Reida and Zac Zellers each added walks, part of an eight-walk attack.
The win for the Wildcats was their first doubleheader chance of the year, as UK posted a 3-2 win in the early game and the 4-3 walk-off win in the nightcap. UK suffered the 8-4 loss in the series opener on Friday, as three errors in the sixth erased a UK lead. UK rode a dominating eight-inning start from senior Jerad Grundy in the Saturday opener, as he struck out 10 and allowed only a pair of runs.
"Grundy was outstanding," Henderson said. "I'm really, really happy for Jerad, happy for our club. That effort today was about as good as you see in college baseball."
Mississippi State (21-6, 2-4 SEC) starter Evan Mitchell did not record an out in the first inning, allowing three runs to score on three walks and a hit batter. Ross Mitchell then walked a hitter on five pitches to force Luis Pollorena out of the bullpen. The senior lefty worked 4.1 strong innings, allowing only a single and an intentional walk, striking out three. Myles Gentry got MSU out of a jam with a pair of outs in the fifth, with Chad Girodo shining in relief despite the hard-luck loss. Girodo (2-1) worked three innings, allowing one hit and one run, walking one and striking out one. Holder came on in the jam in the ninth, allowing the decisive hit from Cousino.
UK will return to action on Tuesday, hosting Marshall at 6:30 p.m. ET at Cliff Hagan Stadium.
Kentucky opened the game with a quick three runs in the bottom half of the first inning. Mitchell began the game by hitting Cousino and followed with two walks to load the bases with no outs. Mitchell wasn't able to find the strike zone and walked Kuhn to bring home Cousino. The Bulldogs were forced to go to the bullpen and bring Ross Mitchell in to face Riddle. Ross Mitchell faced one batter, walking Riddle to allow Zellers to come across. Pollerena took the mound the Bulldogs already down 2-0 and the bases loaded with no outs. Barrett flew out in foul territory down the leftfield line, allowing Reed to tag from third and score, giving Kentucky a 3-0 lead through the first.
In the top of the third, Henderson reached first on a fielder's choice and eventually advanced to third on a throwing error following Adam Frazier's single up the middle. With runners on first and third, Bradford grounded out to first base but Henderson scored and Frazier advanced to second. Kentucky chose to intentionally walk Renfroe, putting runners on first and second with two outs. Littrell forced a ground ball to shortstop but a throwing error kept the inning alive and the bases loaded with two outs. Littrell stalled and walked Detz, scoring Frazier and keeping the bases loaded. A line out to right center would end the inning but the Bulldogs had tightened the game to 3-2.
With one out, Renfroe drilled a home run over the deck in right center to tie the rubber match at 3-3 through five.
Tied entering the bottom of the ninth, Barrett led off Kentucky with a double into left center. The Bulldogs brought closer Holder in to attempt to send the game into extra innings. Holder intentionally walked pinch-hitter Boehm to allow a force out. Following a strikeout, Reida worked the count and drew a walk to load the bases for the top of the order. With the infield in to attempt to nab the winning run at the plate, Cousino delivered for the Wildcats, singling down the rightfield line to score Barrett and give Kentucky a 4-3 win.

Best Of :: Sports & Recreation
During the daytime it's often only the breeze that stirs the nets hanging over the two full courts, not jumpers. With the sun overhead, it is just too hot on these shadeless slabs of asphalt green. And besides, the players are in school or at work. But once the sun starts to slide down, activity picks up in a hurry. South Miami parks department supervisor Lorenzo Woodley oversees leagues for players from ages six to adult. But there is plenty of pickup action here, too, after 5:00 p.m. daily. Charlie Miller got his game here, as well as enough moxie to survive Bob Knight and star for Indiana University. You wanna run? Lace 'em up.
Without doubt this park is the greatest gift ever bequeathed to the public in Miami's history. Back in 1940 the Matheson family, which had owned most of Key Biscayne since early in the century, agreed to a deal proposed by Dade County Commissioner Charles Crandon. The family would donate the northern two miles of its holdings for use as a public park. In exchange the county would construct a causeway from Miami to the island. As Crandon later wrote, the Mathesons "recognized that it would make the remaining land they owned immensely valuable once the causeway was built and in use, which is exactly what happened." The 975-acre park, named in honor of the commissioner, opened along with the causeway in 1947. Since then the Mathesons have been vigilant in protecting their gift from commercial exploitation by government bureaucrats hungry for revenue. Stretching from the Atlantic to Biscayne Bay, Crandon Park comprises more than most people realize: a marina, boat ramps, moorings, and a dive shop adjacent to Sundays on the Bay restaurant; Crandon Golf Course and its driving range, clubhouse, pro shop, and restaurant; the sprawling tennis center and its associated facilities; various storage and maintenance yards; Calusa Park and its tennis courts, playground, and recreation center; a county fire station; the lovely Crandon Park Gardens (the old county zoo); the new Marjory Stoneman Douglas Biscayne Nature Center; an extensive kids' play area featuring a grand carousel; rental cabanas, concession booths, and many picnic areas and athletic fields along the park's eastern half; three significant archaeological sites; three ecological preserves of several hundred acres; and of course the world-famous beach itself. Need we say more?
For the uninitiated: Those people dressed in white and huddled together on the grassy area over by the south bank of the Miami River are not health-care workers on a break. They are students and practitioners of Santería, the Afro-Cuban religion whose spiritual emissaries, or orishas, rule all facets of man and nature. Believers can call upon these deities for guidance and assistance. It's no surprise that Miami, with its large Cuban population, should have lots of Santería devotees, but what is it about Sewell Park that draws the faithful? Look no further than the Miami River and its orisha, Oshún. Here's what OrishaNet, a comprehensive Santería Website (www.seanet.com/~efunmoyiwa/ochanet.html), has to say: "Oshún rules over the sweet waters of the world, the brooks, streams, and rivers, embodying love, fertility. She also is the one we most often approach to aid us in money matters.... All who are to be initiated as priests, no matter what orisha rules their head, must go to the river and give account of what they are about to do." Down near water's edge, hidden among the large rocks that form the bank, you can often find offerings to Oshún: candy, fruits, candles, and other favored objects.
Tucked away behind the exquisitely funky American Legion Post No. 29, this Miami city park is little more than a ramshackle public boat ramp and dock. But it's quiet. And it's always kissed by a soothing breeze. And it provides a lovely view of several of the spoil islands made famous by their role in Christo's 1983 conceptual project Surrounded Islands. If you have a vessel of some sort, you can navigate over to the islands for a picnic. If not, you can simply enjoy gazing at them from the mainland. Accessible from Biscayne Boulevard at NE 64th Street, the park is open every day from sunrise to sunset.
If Kendall Drive is the clotted artery of southwestern unincorporated Miami-Dade, the neighborhood of Calusa is an oasis amid suburban sprawl. Pull off Kendall at SW 133rd Avenue and head south one block. All of a sudden the strip malls fall away, the blank-block apartment buildings disappear, and you're in a haven of green space and single-family homes built around the Calusa Country Club golf course. Wrapped around the course is Calusa Club Drive, a three-mile thoroughfare that sees its share of family-laden SUVs, especially just before and after school, but is more frequently traversed by dogs, ducks, recreational walkers, joggers, and kids on bikes. With its smooth sidewalks and low-density traffic, the circle is especially suited to inline skates. No need to fight for parking or dodge idlers on South Beach. No bumpy boardwalks, no sudden drifts of sand that can make it a hazard to skate too near the beach. Just the scent of fresh-cut grass, the kiss of the sun through flowering dogwood, the sound of your wheels whizzing over sparkling pavement.
If you live anywhere near the center of Miami-Dade County and you find yourself overcome with the urge to go snorkeling, we suggest you head to the rock jetty at the southern tip of Miami Beach. (Metered parking available at South Pointe Park.) When the water is relatively calm, the north side of the jetty offers surprisingly good snorkeling, especially out toward its end, in deeper water. Lots of colorful reef fish, some barracuda, the occasional moray eel, even a shark now and then. But for the real thing -- namely, snorkeling on beautiful coral reefs -- we once again recommend Biscayne National Park. The big advantage: Only one snorkel boat per day, carrying a maximum of 49 people. No other commercial dive boats are permitted to operate within the park's watery boundaries. That sure beats John Pennekamp Coral Reef and State Park in Key Largo, which is so crowded you'll see more people than fish. The Biscayne National Park snorkel boat departs daily at 1:30 p.m. For $32.95 you'll get all the equipment you need (including wetsuit if desired), more than one hour in the water, and a delightful cruise to and from the reef. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends.

Thanks, Capecodcdog! I'm gonna pick up one.
Do you enjoy sealife in the Atlantic? If so STOP TAKING FISH OIL. They are destroying the Atlantic Manhaden populations (aka bunker, the bait you use for fishing) to make oil for these supplements, and lying to you about the fish it is coming from. Almost every single fish in the Atlantic relies on healthy bunker populations, including whales, and it is one of the key reasons the fish stocks are so low.
Whole food sources are everything. Our bodies adapt, yes, but what are they designed for? Unprocessed, organic foods, most of which are nuts, leafy greens and other veggies, the occasional meat group, and occasional whole grain. I'm the last cat to push the crunch movement, however, I have a simplist/naturalist viewpoint on things like diet.
Another related anecdote is the giant fish market at the pier in La Libertad, El Salvs, they were hawking massive amounts of shark oil. Wonder where they got it, since it was my prior understanding that sharks weren't prevalent in ES shorelines. That fishcapade was something else, and the salesperson skills of some of those peddlers was impressive.
Anyone else have interesting dietary practices?
Hair-pie, all day everyday
an even bigger problem is the acidification of the ocean via increased atmospheric co2 levels, high acidity means no shells being made, (calcium carbonate is basic) diatoms are at the bottom-bottom of the food chain....
I do like seeing people realize the delicate web of life we live in.
and BE, yes, all that slim Asian trim going hungry makes me a lil cray cray
MIS, your next 'surfing' trip should be to Thailand. Seriously. Quite a place, whoa. And once in awhile some waves at Phuket. Or a short flight to Bali, et. al.

Yes I realise that. I don't have a tuner card but want to have a play around with channel streams as others have done. The only problem being I can't see the client to enable it and can't find anywhere to get it. I hope that makes sence.

Yes, right now, the demo client is only compiled for Linux. Opdenkamp did not have time yet to add it to the Windows solution.

Ravens 25, Browns 15: Joe Flacco connected with Torrey Smith on a 19-yard touchdown reception with 4:26 remaining in the fourth quarter as visiting Baltimore overcame a sluggish offensive performance to maintain its mastery over its AFC North rival.
Ray Rice and rookie Bernard Pierce had rushing touchdowns on the first two drives for the Ravens (6-2), who saw their offense go limp as Phil Dawson kicked five field goals to give the Browns (2-7) a 15-14 lead midway through the fourth quarter.
Baltimore answered on the ensuing possession as Smith capped a nine-play, 81-yard drive with a nifty spin move on cornerback Joe Haden before finding the end zone. A turnover on downs led to rookie Justin Tucker's 43-yard field goal as the Ravens posted their 10th consecutive victory over the Browns.
Rookie Trent Richardson rushed for 105 yards, but Cleveland was unable to find the end zone despite venturing into the red zone on five occasions.
Rice opened the scoring by scampering eight yards around the left end for a touchdown. He finished with 98 yards.
GAME NOTEBOOK: The Ravens, who mustered zero net yards in the third quarter, managed their initial first down of the second half after Flacco found Anquan Boldin for a 21-yard reception with 8:39 remaining in the fourth quarter. ... Richardson tied a Browns rookie record by rushing for at least 100 yards in three games this season. ... Baltimore's Cary Williams, who sealed the Week 4 victory over Cleveland with an interception for a touchdown, picked off rookie Brandon Weeden in the third quarter.

10 Date Night Ideas That Won't Break The Bank
… because romance doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg.
If you're looking to impress, dinner and a movie will make more of an impact on your wallet than your date. With a little bit of creativity inspired by these date night ideas, it's easy to score big even on a little budget.
These five are free:
1. Beach blanket bingo. Whether you are near a beach or not, you can find a romantic place to gaze at the stars and one another. Take a board game or the Would You Rather book with you and watch the sparks fly.
2. Hey good lookin', what ya got cookin'? It doesn't matter what's being served. If you heat things up in the kitchen and cook for your partner or make a meal together, you'll leave feeling satisfied.
Read 25 Date Night Ideas That Aren't Cheesy
3. Match point. Find love by squaring off on the tennis court, bike path, hiking trail, basketball hoop or first base. Playing a sport together will charge up your endorphins and get you ready for the other games you'll be playing later on. Plus, there's nothing sexier than a hot shower together.
4. Free your mind. Bookstores and college campuses often host free events with authors. Although it's encouraged, you're not required to buy the author's book, but you can get an hour of great entertainment and culture (and often a free glass of wine) just for swinging by with your date.
5. Toys for hots. If you're at a point when you feel comfortable in your relationship but possibly a little bored too, it's time to shake things up. Luckily you don't have to go to a sex shop to change your bedroom experience. Start out with a strategically placed ice cube or scarf as a blindfold. Once you get comfortable you can work up to more adventurous tools and techniques.

Fall break
Back in my day there were no mechanical cotton picking machines so that everything was done by hand. It means that the farmers relied on their families or friends, since there were no migrant workers, to get out in the fields and laboriously, one by one, pick the locks of cotton from the spiny boles. Not only was the work hot, backbreaking and dirty, but in the field you were exposed to all kinds of nature landmines such as snakes, spiders, sunburn and poison ivy.
My fall break started with an early morning wake-up time for a ride to the cotton field. The high point for the morning was the weigh-in time when you took your bulging cotton sack to the wagon to see how many pounds you had picked and to get the heavy weight off of your back before going back to the patch with an empty sack.
At lunch time we got a few minutes to eat a sandwich under a shade tree before getting after the cotton again. It was nice to get to recline on the freshly picked white fluffy produce even though it was hot and buggy.
By midafternoon it was weigh-in time again and a short relief from the backbreaking work. The usual tallies were in the range of 75 pounds but some of the fast pickers who didn't worry about getting the sharp spines in their fingers could get up to 100 pounds at a time. My record was 236 pounds for one day when I was trying to keep up with my girlfriend who was picking on the row beside me.
In the late afternoon as we would be riding from the cotton field on a full trailer load, there was a real feeling of accomplishment knowing that we had picked enough for a bale so that tomorrow we could start with an empty wagon. We got between $2.50 and $3 per hundred pounds for our hard work so on my most productive day I probably made $7 to be spent on the midway throwing balls at bowling pins to win a teddy bear for my girlfriend.
In all, fall break wasn't that bad.

When I was in high school theater, we staged "The Lion in Winter," a play that features treachery, infidelity, captivity and some of the most eloquent language I'd ever heard.
It had been edited for a high school production, of course. But the word "ass" remained in an exchange between two characters:
"I am a king. I am no man's 'boy.' "
"Because you put your ass on purple cushions?"
The administration made us change it to "bottom."
Sings, doesn't it?
Last week, we learned that someone objected to a Herriman High production of a fluffy little musical called "All Shook Up," loosely based on Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night." Trouble was, it included, among other things, a girl masquerading as a boy, and the play was briefly canceled.
A Jordan School District spokeswoman said that while school plays should be great experiences for students and theatergoers, "We don't want to offend anyone."
Well, plays, books, poetry, television and films are supposed to shake us up. That's the nature of storytelling, said Sydney Cheek-O'Donnell, an assistant theater professor at the University of Utah.
"We have these characters that walk around, and we sort of live vicariously through them. They are not us. That's their deal," she said. "They say and do and think things that are objectionable to our own views.
"In my mind, that's why we go to the theater, watch films," Cheek-O'Donnell said, "to understand someone else, otherness, and develop empathy for other ways of seeing the world and have a dialogue."
When I see a play or a movie, read a book or a poem or even the news, I expect to learn things, to be challenged and angered and sometimes brought to tears.
The film "Lincoln" reflects the United States at war with itself. There are mounds of bodies after battles, political machinations in the White House and Congress, vicious racism, marital strife and the death of the nation's greatest president.
It is art's way of putting us in a time and circumstance we know of, but rarely so viscerally.
Recently I reread To Kill a Mockingbird, a 1960 novel set in Alabama and featuring a white lawyer representing a black man accused of sexually assaulting a white woman. But it was about so much more: a father's love for his children, their fascination with a mysterious neighbor, the ways of the townspeople and the racists who denied justice to an innocent man.
As I did at 14, I cried at the end. And if it's not required reading in every high school, it should be.
As Cheek-McDonnell said, many Utah communities are conservative, perhaps given to believing that only good examples should be shown in art and literature (though that would eliminate many sacred writings). But, she added, seeing the value of flawed humans going through their struggles is a way to interpret and learn from their experience.
Besides, high school kids almost undoubtedly know a lot more about the world than their parents may think. They study literature, history, math and all kinds of subjects. They watch TV and see movies. Most important, they look at and listen to one another, every one a different and often puzzling human. And who's more judgmental than a high school kid?
"All Shook Up" will be performed at Herriman High after all, with slight modifications.
This much is certain: Everyone involved in this unnecessary affair will have learned something and, quite likely, were offended.

Lossiemouth, SCOTLAND – Brevard College men's golfer Grant Carnie (Aberdeen, SCOTLAND) captured one of the most noteworthy wins in program history last week, winning the North of Scotland Five-Day Open. The tournament, which has been contested for more than a century, attracted a field of 340 competitors from around the globe.
Carnie advanced to the match-play round of 32 by firing stroke play rounds of 74 and 71. Once in the single-elimination stage of the tournament, Carnie took all five of his matches with resounding victories, including a 9&7 victory in the semifinals and a 3&1 win in the championship match.
Carnie and his Tornado teammates finished 4th in the SAC Championships last March, and begin their first season as full members of NCAA Division II in September.

As with so many things, proximity's often a key for hikers looking to arrange a post-trek meet-up. For most, a redneck bar or a convenience store'll do the trick if it's the nearest place to score a frosty brew.
So while it doesn't hurt that this historic New Mexican-style restaurant is the closest dining-and-drinking establishment to the South Mountain Park exit, we'd slog through several miles more of hell and jumping cholla cactus to score one of the restaurant's "Kick-@ss" Margaritas and a plate of green chili enchiladas.
In fact, hiking, shmiking. Let's get right to those maggies.
If you've never seen the PhoenixPhreaks in action before, just wait until the next First Friday rolls around. This roving gang of cycling psychos (who serve as the local chapter of the national Freakbike Militia) can typically be found cruising down Roosevelt Street or in the vicinity of Bikini Lounge or the Firehouse. They're as much a part of the monthly art walk as the paintings and free cheese and crackers. Speaking of masterpieces, the modified two-wheelers being piloted are works of art in their own right. Most are ordinary bikes that have been elongated and rebuilt to resemble Harley-Davidson choppers straight outta Easy Rider (if Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda were pedaling their way across the Southwest, that is). Others have been pimped up and polished in classic cherry lowrider style. Then there are the bizarre and beautiful customizations, like Allan Greenblazer's "Green Fuzzy Chopper," which (as the name implies) is covered in emerald-colored shag carpeting. We were feeling pretty green ourselves, albeit with envy, after seeing it roll past.
The annual Cruise on Central has been happening in the Valley since the 1960s, and it embraces a proud tradition of hot rods, custom cars, and pimped-out lowriders. Generally held the first Saturday in April, Cruise on Central features a variety of vintage rides, from '70s model Chevy Impalas to '67 Chevy trucks to '41 Pro Street rods. Participants meet at Park Central Mall, just south of Osborn, and proceed south on Central Avenue in a parade of classic and American muscle cars. The event is so hugely popular that it's created problems, with hundreds of people lining up across several blocks of Central Avenue and creating traffic and crowd control concerns. Luckily, the Cruise on Central is adaptable — it'll switch dates at the last minute (as it did this year, when the April 11 cruise was rained out and rescheduled for April 18), or even switch locations (this year's cruise actually happened on Jackson Street).
We've looked high and low, and Purple Lizard — a dear little boutique in west Phoenix packed with cute linen clothes, cuter bags, and spicy-sweet candles — is the only place in town we could find that is currently selling the supplies you need for Dia de los Muertos, a.k.a. Day of the Dead. Here we can stock up the supplies to make sugar skulls (molds, decorations, and the meringue power essential to getting the sugar to stick together), marigolds (the holiday's traditional flower, conveniently made here out of paper) and all manner of skeletons. Not real ones, of course, but the papier-mâché traditionally made to celebrate the dead. At Purple Lizard, you can find a larger-than-life-size lady or a classic diorama with tiny figures, as well as books, tissue paper cutouts, paintings and other items making up the most unique collection of Day of the Dead offerings we've seen anywhere.
Nothing gets the adrenaline pumping like a good old-fashioned auto race. For those of us who don't own a muscle car or have the cash to try the big leagues at Bondurant, there's Speed Street Indoor Racetrack, where you can traverse a third-mile track in a bright yellow speedster with a nine-horsepower, four-stroke engine. Okay, their go-karts aren't exactly NASCAR-worthy, but if you crank one up to top speed — about 50 miles per hour — it's still pretty freaking awesome. Each kart has racing slicks for advanced traction and ROC timing to clock your speed as you make a lap, and the indoor arena is temperature-controlled to reduce those nervous sweats. We're a little wary of the happy-hour special, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Fridays, but Speed Street's waiver assures us there won't be any DUIs out on the track.
Want to reach new heights but you're afraid of coming face-to-face with a rattler, scorpion, or hive of Africanized bees? Get inside. The Phoenix Rock Gym offers routes for any level climber. The Beginner's Canyon has straight vertical walls, and those without gear can rent everything they need and climb all day for under $20. More experienced? Ape up the walls of the two more technical areas of the gym, Hueco Canyon or Exit Canyon, or boulder 'til your fingers bleed. The gym offers monthly and quarterly passes, which are both reasonably priced. (For a cool $1 million, The Phoenix Rock Gym also offers a lifetime pass.)

First of all, I couldn't find anything usefull in the search, but if I've overlooked something, please point it out.
For some stupid reason I ran apt-get update && apt-get upgrade in a terminal in X.
Obviously the upgrade couldnt upgrade the nvidia drivers, so I figured it would skip those. Apparently it didn't, and now my driverset seems out of sync with the kernel or something.
The exact error when X tries to start is:
FATAL: Module nvidia not found.
(EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module. Please check you system's kernel log for additional error messages.
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.
I've tried to run apt-get update and upgrade again, but it states there are no new packages.
What do I need to do to reinstall the nvidia drivers?
UPDATE: I've just uninstalled the Nvidia package via aptitude, afterwards apt-get dist-upgrade installed some nvidia driver part again. However, the NVidia package isn't listed in aptitude (under BackTrack-GPU).
X still doesnt start. Different error though:
(EE) No devices detected.
Fatal server error:
no screens found.

WORCESTERSHIRE was lit up by a 'super moon' which appeared larger and brighter in the sky last night.
The moon, which appears 14 per cent bigger and 30 per cent bright than usual, has reached the point in its orbit closest to the Earth, known as 'perigee'.
Many enthusiasts grabbed their mobile phones to take a snapshot of the spectacle - which comes two days before a meteor shower called Perseid also reaches its peak.
Given a dark, clear sky in a normal year, it is common to see more than 100 of the meteors an hour during the second week in August.
Dr Bill Cooke from the American space agency Nasa's Meteoroid Environment Office, said the luminous super moon risked drowning out the meteor shower.
He said: "Lunar glare wipes out the black-velvety backdrop required to see faint meteors, and sharply reduces counts."
Dr Cooke added that the Perseids were also "rich in fireballs as bright as Jupiter or Venus" that would remain visible despite the moon's glare.
A study conducted by his team since 2008 has shown the Perseids to be the undisputed "fireball champion" of meteor showers.
"We see more fireballs from Swift-Tuttle than any other parent comet," said Dr Cooke.
Every 133 years, comet Swift-Tuttle swings through the inner Solar System leaving behind a trail of dust.
When the Earth passes through, the dust cloud particles hit the atmosphere at 140,000 mph and burn up in streaking flashes of light, creating the spectacle known as the Perseids.
The meteors will be visible until Wednesday, with activity peaking on Tuesday.
An unusually bright full super moon was also seen on July 12, and another is due to appear on September 9.
Supermoons occur relatively often, every 13 months and 18 days, but are not always noticed because of clouds or poor weather.

Cleveland wants to burn down Ariel Castro's house
What will become of Ariel Castro's house of horrors?
For now, the Cleveland home where the 52-year-old former school bus driver allegedly held Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight hostage for a decade, beating them and raping them until they were freed last week, is still considered an active crime scene. The windows and doors have been boarded up (by the same construction crew that shuttered the home of serial killer Anthony Sowell in 2009), and a ten-foot-high chain link fence has been erected around the dilapidated two-story, four-bedroom home on Seymour Avenue.
But even as police continue their investigation, neighbors are anxious for the Castro home to be wiped off the map.
"As a representative of the county, it is my job to understand what the residents want—and this community wants it down," says Cleveland city councilman Brian Cummins. Of course, he notes, nothing will happen until the criminal case is resolved. "We can't take it down until it's cleared for evidentiary purposes." He says he would also like to get input from the survivors. "I don't want to make a decision without them," he says. "Right now we are in total mode to serve their needs."
Still, there are immediate concerns. Cummins has already heard of at least three threats of arson directed at the property. "It started on the second day" Cummins says, meaning the day after Castro's alleged crimes were discovered last Monday. "Hopefully they are just peeved."
Police, however, are keeping tabs on the property with around-the-clock surveillance.
Some neighbors are, too. Elsie Cintron, who lives three doors down, says she and her sons plan on keeping an eye out to ensure the house doesn't get torched. She wants to see it gone just like everyone else, but she doesn't want vigilante justice. Plus, she worries that if someone sets the place on fire, the blaze could take out other homes on the block—including that of neighborhood hero Charles Ramsey. "People are talking out of anger because it was under our eyes and no one knew anything," Cintron says of the threats.

Hi,I find content and article writing is very time consuming and one can just go on to spend his life yet writing and adding little. On the other hand one rarely gets good content writers. All one sees around are duplications and attempts to feed search engines than to fee site visitors.Any one here can suggest some tips for good content writing, that can be handy. Practical things out of own experience can be useful
best writing tip evar -- write what you know
your readers can spot crap, so don't just fill the page with anything
say, why are you writing, anyway? i think that's the first thing that needs to be addressed
The best tips for writing are:
Read a variety of different styles and genres, fact and fiction, news and comment, blog and print. Get a feel for what works well in writing, what writing style suits you, what writing style will suit your audience.
Study rules of grammar, punctuation and typography. If you don't get those right, it doesn't matter how good your content is, you'll really struggle to get any credibility as an author. Even down to little things like the difference between hyphens, en-dashes and em-dashes – they might sound like pedantic hypercorrectness to you, but they all contribute to the impression of quality that your readers will form.
Learn about your subject matter. Write about something you know about and are interested in. Research around it. If it's a topic area that has been covered extensively elsewhere, try to find a new angle so that you're adding something of value and not just rehashing the same stuff that's already out there.
I think this is very important and very first basic steps. Know what you are saying is very obvious. Rather one has to know more than others to be of useful to them.
Thank for very detailed input. It does not seem there is a short cut to hard work. Some thing which can make the art of writing smarter and faster. I would just add one aspect ie Write as much as you can.
but you sidestepped my question
there are two types of article
one is intended to be read by real human beings, and must be written with care
the other is intended to be spammed all over the web into any article directory that will accept it, for the purpose of gaining backlinks
for this second type of article, you really don't need to take care with your writing at all, because there never was any intention that a real human being would read it
so that's why i asked
Unfortunately, writing only about things you know can limit you quite a bit and may not prove to be too profitable. Developing the ability to write on virtually any subject with reasonable authority I think is key, which comes down to research, which, in turn, sad to say, comes down to those dreaded four-letter words, "hard work"!
Just wanted to add to this - but research and hard-work can be fun cos you learn so much more than you already know and you're able to actually form an opinion and convey it through the articles you write. In the end, the satisfaction of knowing that your written work has been useful to someone is pretty great!:)It drives you to work hard at mastering a particular subject - always useful.
I think you have to look at the underlying 'problem' with web content at the moment. I'm not suggesting the OP is guilty of this, but the post does have some elements in common with posts I've seen elsewhere that point to the issue.
Many people are getting into web content writing because they want to put up a website and make a couple of quid. This leads people to get into subject areas that they are not familiar with, and with little or no money to spend on quality content, can result in poor quality, badly written articles appearing all over the web. It's the motivation behind the writing that's the issue for me. I completely agree with the advice to write what you know, but profitability drives people to subjects they don't know. As a result, the passion for the subject is not there and the quality of writing suffers.
As long as people are trying to get websites set up as a result of keyword research this issue isn't going to go away. The best advice for people wanting to do this is either to do the subject research (aka hard work) and take your time writing high quality content (aka hard work) before you put the site up, or buy the content from an authoritative source.If neither of these options is open to you, then maybe a website is not for you.
I totally agree with this and I believe another part of the problem is the misconception that PPC and other advert programs are a pathway to wealth. What happens is that hopeful entrepreneurs try to make articles a foundation of a business rather than using them to extend the reach of an already viable business.
Another problem is that these individuals are clueless about starting and running a profitable business. They begin with no cash, no plan, and no background in both the their subject matter (niche) or in business administration.
Personally, I respect the search engine as much as my readers. I think that is bottom line of all SEO. If you can get a respect of a human, search engine will be taking you high anyway.
I don't know how and why, but I fee there is a common believe in many quarters about free income from web based work, some things like walking in a garden having dollars on the trees.
This also brings me to idea of getting the content written. Any ideas on some genuine writers and approximate cost on should plan for content writing for a small biz.
There is also lots of services (and it may not amuse them) offering things links writing one article and submitting it to say 50 related locations. Will it not suffice to have it at one relevant site. Will same article at 50 locations matter much.
You can find article writing easy if you have the skills and passion in doing it.Writing is not an easy tasks, you just need to enjoy and love it.
Yes, that is the bottom line for any work, not only the articles. However, at some levels you do not have time for all your passions and thus need to find alternatives.
Article writing is a very interesting work if you like reading and writing. A good article able to provide vivid description and the articles are imaginative.
I found out, in order to survive in the Internet world, the skills of article writing is somehow a MUST-HAVE skills.
Start reading and start doing writing today, you will enjoy the Internet world when you master the writing skills
It's an old post, but it's the thing I looking for. Writing isn't too tough, but it's hard to start... I think. Whenever you know what you want to write, just try and share it. Thanks for such a good hint anyway
If I conclude the discussion so far, it leads to:-- Knowing subject.- Reading to improve own knowledge.- Having love for writing and enjoying own work.- Hard work.I assume all of these are essential for doing almost every work in the world. The "tips" would mean, something out of experience to make thing relatively better or simpler or quicker, given that above things are standard items, followed in any case.
I personally find that the best articles are ones that display a firm grasp on the subject at hand. Be informed about what you are writing about. If you are researching a topic, find the best sources. It's also helpful to choose subject that truly interest you, because your enthusiasm will shine in your writing.

For over two years, Bruce Beresford-Redman has been sitting in a Cancun jail awaiting trial for the murder of his wife. Redman was extradited from the United States after he managed to sneak across the border into the US shortly after he was accused of killing his wife. This was such huge news back in the day when it happened and his wife's entire family thinks he killed her. Nothing has changed their minds about that. They spoke just two months ago about how they wanted to see Redman face the trail that seemingly will never happen.
Now, according to Radar, Redman has filed a motion to have his extradition reversed. In his motion he says there is no evidence linking him to the death and the claims made by Mexico regarding evidence and witnesses they have to support his conviction in the trial have either been lost or don't exist in the first place.
"The Mexican government claimed to possess forensic evidence that would prove Beresford-Redman's guilt: conveniently all this alleged evidence was lost/destroyed while in Mexican custody. The Mexican government claimed to have witnesses who heard a fight and screams from the hotel room: but again when asked to produce those witnesses the Mexican government could not.· The Mexican government claimed to have blood evidence from the crime scene: however there was no blood ever found of Beresford-Redman or his wife. The Mexican government claimed to have a hotel staff member witness a physical fight between Beresford-Redman and his wife: but when this staff member was asked to identity Beresford-Redman or his wife, he could not."
Even if I believe the guy didn't kill his wife, which I don't, he is in Mexican custody. They fought to get him extradited after he illegally crossed the border back to the US, so I doubt they are going to let him just go back to the US even if the judge rules in Redman's favor. I don't ever want anyone to go to jail for a crime they didn't commit but he did some crazy things right before they went on this vacation and her family is convinced he did it because of the actions he took before the vacation and just in their marriage. If, what he says is true, then I would hope that during his trial he would be found not guilty. I do think it is strange that he has been locked up for over two years with no trial and that needs to change. The judge in the case will be watched during the trial and if anything shady or sketchy happens then he can make the argument that eh should be freed.

Morgan's Death
4 September 1864 — Greeneville, Tennessee
Morgan, a revered Confederate cavalry leader, is probably best known for "Morgan's Raid," which took him and 1,800 men on a 1,000-mile raid through Kentucky starting in July 1862. In July 1863, Morgan took 2,400 men on a raid through Indiana and Ohio, but it ended with his capture. Morgan, however, escaped from Ohio State Penitentiary, where he was being held, and returned to duty. His death occurred on 4 September 1864, when he was shot and killed during a Union raid on his headquarters at Greeneville, Tennessee.
