"Matt proposed under a fantastic display of fireworks in Uptown Charlotte on the 4th of July — seven months after we met. On June 6th of 2015, we were married. "
Matt and I both had gone through several relationships that ended because of the same reason — not having the same belief systems. Finally, my mom suggested I join ChristianMingle — "Maybe you'll find someone who believes the same way you do," she told me. Matt also had joined ChristianMingle at the suggestion of his mother. He'd only gone on a couple dates through it before I messaged him (yes, I was the instigator). He had a limited subscription, but paid the money to upgrade when he saw that he had a message from me. We're so glad he did!
It turns out, we had similar interests on nearly every level, and by the end of that first date, we knew all the big, important stuff already. We knew how we felt about God, children, education, life-work balance and more. And we knew we clicked. The missing piece of our puzzles was found over ravioli and linguine.
I honestly wasn't sure I would ever find someone that I could fit with so perfectly. I never thought anyone, other than God, would ever really "get" me. But Matt does. And he feels the same way. How blessed we are that God used our parents to help us overcome our pride, join ChristianMingle, and meet the person He had in mind for each of us. We are so grateful that ChristianMingle exists, and we recommend it to all of our friends from church.

SEATTLE -- Starbucks Corp. says it has no plans to raises prices, even though it expects higher coffee costs to weaken its profits in the upcoming fiscal year.
Coffee prices have risen to an almost 13-year high, with coffee stockpiles at their lowest levels since May 2000. There's also concern that global supplies will be further reduced as heavy rains may have harmed arabica crops in Colombia, the world's second-largest coffee producer.
Starbucks said it is able to maintain its current prices because it has long-term relationships with farmers, traders and co-ops in multiple coffee-growing regions. It also has bought the majority of its coffee for its upcoming fiscal year.
The coffee retail giant is standing by its fiscal 2011 profit target of $1.36 to $1.41 a share, which factors in an expected 4¢ hit from higher coffee prices.
Earlier this month, J.M. Smucker Co. raised prices of most of its Folgers, Dunkin' Donuts and Millstone coffees in the U.S. by an average of 9%, citing higher green coffee prices. Kraft Foods followed with U.S. price hikes on select Maxwell House and Yuban ground and instant coffees.

Matt Damon's roots to Boston Marathon run deep
(Yahoo!) - Between managing his career, being a father of four, and renewing his wedding vows, Matt Damon found time to contribute to a new (somewhat scholarly) book, "The Official History of the Boston Athletic Association, 1887-2012." In the excerpt reprinted in the Boston Globe last month, the star reflected on his ties to the famous Boston Marathon.
At the time, his essay was a heartfelt homage to his hometown and his father -- who ran the marathon a whopping four times. However, in light of Monday's tragedy, it reads with an even more poignant meaning.
The 42-year-old actor, who grew up in the greater Boston area, remembered, "Some of my most vivid childhood sports memories took form in the early 1980s at Fenway Park, the Boston Garden, and by the side of the road near the fire station of Commonwealth Avenue in Newton.
"On the third Monday in April, Comm. Ave. transforms into a sporting spectacle like no other, overwrought with nerves and excitement as enervated runners from around the world confront the historic Heartbreak Hill(s). I'll never forget standing there in the crowd with my brother, Kyle, as we looked first for Bill Rodgers, and then, in the very same race as some of the most talented runners on earth, our smiling (and grimacing) 40-year-old dad."

A principal Wildlife Officer from the Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Heritage, Mr. Akankwasa Barirega has applauded the management of Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) for opening up new trails to promote birding in Murchison Falls National Park and other conservation areas.
Mr. Akankwasa says this is a new innovation which government will support in developing infrastructure and diversification of products to attract more visitors and make them stay longer in the national parks.

WOOSTER, MA -- The Amusement and Music Operators Association and AMI Entertainment Network Inc. have moved to dismiss a federal antitrust lawsuit filed by an online reseller of jukeboxes and amusement machines. A hearing for the case has been set for June 26 in Worcester, MA.
Shrewsbury, MA-based Lease America, or Lease America.org Inc., filed the complaint in the U.S. District Court for the district of Massachusetts in January accusing AMOA of pressuring Rowe (AMI) not to supply jukeboxes to Lease America, which sells amusement equipment to locations.
The complaint charges that in early 2009 AMOA advised the jukebox firm that its operator members would no longer use Rowe jukeboxes if it allowed Lease America to sell its jukeboxes directly to locations. The complaint alleges that Rowe terminated its agreement with Lease America in March 2009 and remotely disabled Lease America's jukeboxes without warning. Lease America is seeing damages and jury trial. | SEE STORY

Cheat Sheet
Starting an Etsy Business For Dummies Cheat Sheet
If you're looking to channel your passion for crafting and artful creation into a business, consider selling your work on Etsy. Countless crafters have ditched their day jobs to start their own Etsy craft businesses, or have supplemented their existing incomes by selling their own crafts, vintage items, or crafting supplies. If your dream is to "make a living making things," then Etsy is for you!
Creating an Eye-Catching Etsy Storefront
You can personalize your Etsy shop in any number of ways. This personalization is critical to ensuring that your Etsy business stands out from the crowd and helps promote your brand. And anyway, it's fun!
Add a banner. A banner is a graphic that runs across the top of your shop's main page. You can create a banner from scratch using any number of graphics programs, including Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Photoshop Elements, GIMP, Picasa, Windows Paint, and more.
Include a shop title and shop announcement. Think of your shop title as a tagline of sorts. It briefly sums up what your shop is about. In contrast, your shop announcement, which appears just below your banner, trumpets what you sell, the types of materials or ingredients you use, or your artistic philosophy. Your shop announcement can also broadcast when your next sale will be or share your shop policies.
Use sections to organize your goods. If you sell different types of items — say, magnets, notebooks, and picture frames — you can use sections to organize your shop by item. Even if you don't sell different types of items — maybe you're all about knit caps — you can use sections to organize your goods by, say, yarn type, size, or price.
Choose a strong avatar. Your avatar (also known as your profile picture) is the image that represents both you and your store across Etsy. Be sure to select an avatar that reflects well on you and your shop.
Pricing Your Work for Your Etsy Business
Running a profitable Etsy business means being comfortable with doing a little math — especially when pricing your pieces. Putting a price on your Etsy creations may seem challenging, but don't freak out! You're not dealing with calculus here, or even trigonometry. To price pieces for your Etsy business, all you need are two simple formulas:
Wholesale Price = (Materials + Labor + Overhead) × 2
Retail Price = Wholesale Price × 2
When you calculate the costs of your materials, you need to consider only the price of what you used to produce one piece, not everything you actually bought. Labor costs are your hourly rate multiplied by the time spent to make one piece. Overhead costs consist of what you need to run your business, such as tools, office supplies, and the like (but not shipping costs).
Note that, in the second formula, you multiply the wholesale price by 2 to determine the retail price. Some sellers may choose a higher number, multiplying the wholesale price by 2.5 or even 3 to determine the retail price (assuming that the market will bear that). The multiplier you choose is really up to you.
Composing Product Photos for Your Etsy Business
Great product photos can boost sales for your Etsy business, but you don't need to hire a professional photographer (although you can). Composing your own photos for Etsy calls for a bit of technical know-how and some artistic flair (which, of course, you already have!). As you shoot your pieces, keep these compositional points in mind:
Angle the camera. Angling, or tilting, the camera puts the subject slightly off-center and creates movement and flow. The result is a more dynamic, intriguing image.
Shoot tight. Filling the frame with your subject not only adds visual impact but also enables potential buyers to see how well made your piece is.
Blur the background. By using a shallow depth of field (read: a low f-stop setting on your camera), you can blur the background, dramatically highlighting your piece. When the background is blurred, you can shoot in almost any setting; just make sure that the background colors don't clash with your subject.
Note that less is more. Don't crowd the scene with extraneous objects. Otherwise, potential buyers may not understand exactly which item in your photo is for sale.
Frame your subject. One way to draw the viewer's eye to your piece is to frame it — that is, place some darker element in the perimeter. This technique helps keep the viewer's eye from straying from your item.
Group pieces together. Especially if you make itsy-bitsy goodies, you can try grouping them to catch a buyer's eye. Not only does this make for a more eye-catching photograph, but it also shows potential buyers how pieces in your collection work together.
Use the rule of thirds. Divide the scene you're photographing into nine equal parts by using two horizontal lines and two vertical lines (like a tic-tac-toe grid); place key elements at one of the four points where the vertical and horizontal lines intersect. In addition to conveying a sense of tension and energy, this helps pique the viewer's interest.
Composing Item Titles on Etsy
An item title on Etsy acts a lot like a good headline. It's designed to grab a buyer's attention and entice the buyer to read more about you and your item. Not surprisingly, then, many headline-writing principles apply when it comes to composing standout item titles for your Etsy business:
Keep it short. Your item title must be brief — no more than 155 characters (including spaces).
Clearly describe your item at the beginning of the item title. This helps improve the chances that others will find your item when searching on Etsy.
Be clever. If you can, use humor, puns, alliteration, rhymes, or other types of wordplay. (But don't try too hard. Your talents may lie elsewhere!)
Use strong words. Avoid vague verbiage! Some words are just better than others. For example, don't just call your piece "small" — also call it "tiny."
Use a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters. Too many all-uppercase words, and it seems like you're shouting. Too many lowercase words, and it seems like you're e. e. cummings.
Marketing Your Etsy Business
Etsy recognizes the importance of marketing your business — which is why it offers several built-in promotional tools, such as widgets and coupon codes. Marketing on Etsy is easy when you take advantage of the following:
Create coupon codes for your shop. Coupons increase sales, increase branding and awareness, reward current customers, and entice former customers to return.
Create a special widget for your blog or other website to advertise your Etsy shop. This strategy helps steer people on those other sites to your Etsy shop.
Promote your shop on social media. Connecting with friends, family, and fans on social media is a great way to keep them buying from you.
Run search ads. An Etsy Search Ad is simply a paid advertising spot that appears at the top of the search results page when prospective buyers enter specific keywords.

This article, Gold Dust, is canon and uses Creative Commons licensed content from our mother site, Narutopedia's Gold Dust article.

|Gold Dust
|Gold Dust

|Other Name(s)
|Gold Sand
Gold Dust (砂金, Sakin; ; Literally meaning "Sand Gold"; ), is the name of the weapon used by the Fourth Kazekage. Due to the diamagnetic properties of gold, small particles of it could be manipulated in a similar manner to that of the sand utilised by Shukaku's jinchūriki, through the Kazekage's Magnet Release kekkei genkai. When he utilised this ability, dark rings appeared around his eyes that resembled the permanent ones around those of his youngest son Gaara.
In sufficient quantities, this sand gold could be fashioned into a diverse range of forms, which the Fourth Kazekage employed to assault opponents and intercept hostile attacks.[1] By constructing more complex structures, he could use it to perform even more intricate tasks, such as observing an area from afar with the Third Eye.[2]
In the past, this weapon was instrumental to the protection of Sunagakure during the Fourth Kazekage's tenure, by allowing him to effectively subdue Shukaku each time the beast went berserk. This was accomplished by layering his sand gold atop of the sand controlled by the beast. As gold is heavier than sand, it made it more difficult for the creature to manipulate, thus slowing if not stopping the sand's movement entirely.[3]
When confronting the Second Mizukage, Gaara incorporated some of his father's gold dust into his own sand in order to both cool and weigh down the Mizukage's exploding clone, after the clone's own heat fused the gold onto its body.[4]
- Gold isn't a magnetic metal like iron, nickel or cobalt. However, it is diamagnetic.
- Gold is approximately 7.3 times denser than silica, the main component of sand; and about 3.7 times denser than magnetite, the main component of Iron Sand.
- When Sunagakure was facing dire economic strains, this gold dust was used as a valuable trade commodity of the village.[5]

Sitting in Michael Kors's confident and upbeat show this morning, it all clicked. Fashion-wise, Kors is the greatest barometer of where we all are in our lives. When we were in the high-rolling good times, he fully went with it, offering up unbelievable opulence every which way, and most of it heavily accented with inordinate amounts of coyote and fox. When things took a downward turn, Kors showed—as he did for this fall—clothes that resonated with the times. There were no-nonsense, let's-get-back-to-business camel coats and crisp white shirts, and because everyone's psyches had had a nasty battering, long, lean sweater dressing that comforted and cosseted but still looked sharp and urban.
As for how Kors sees next spring? He envisions that we're in a place called Not Quite Out of the Woods Yet But There Are Green Shoots of Recovery. (To drive the point home, he erected a wall of verdant foliage at the back of his runway.) He brought an earthiness to bear on his particular brand of luxe athleticism. A linen sleeveless jacket and shorts—in a color called hemp!—on Freja Beha, or a gauzy white linen sweater and grass-colored long pleated georgette skirt on Frida Gustavsson, a brown crocodile flat bag slung over her body. A heather-gray sweatshirt over a pair of hemp crystal beaded pants, on Beha again, looked like she was done woofing for the day, and had decided to keep the sweats on and swap out whatever she'd been wearing it with for those glamorously embellished trousers.
And the thing is, Kors manages to evoke all these different moods—glitz, gloom, and green—by drawing on the same archetypes: a tee, a sweatshirt, a tank dress, a trench, a pajama pant. By always seeing classic American sportswear through his own particular prism, he changes, yet stays true to himself. That said, he must have been really feeling this moment, because this was a great collection, one with a directness and an unfussiness that connected with where we are now. It was evident in everything he did. In the substantial double-buckle flat leather sandals: There has been a dearth of really good earthbound summer shoes these past few days, and these went a long way toward making up for that lack. In the oversize, roughly woven shoulder bags: When you see a purse this size, the inevitable question arises—where on earth is she going with that? Well, Kors knows: to load up at the greenmarkets that have sprouted up all over our cities. And in the relaxed, gorgeous, sun-kissed hair and makeup, that looked as effortlessly right as everything else.

your going to have to make a completely new install. bt3 and bt4 are completely different systems so you cant do the slackware update in the past w/ the dvd. your going have to start from square one again.
Hello all,
I used the search function for a bit but I can't find anything similar to what I want to do. I've used BT3 for some time now, so I'm not new, but by no means an expert. I upgraded that kernel to 2.6.26, but some things stopped working. Mainly wine no longer worked. So I tried the BT4b live cd and really liked it. I'm looking to keep my same configuration (listed below) but just swap BT3 with BT4. I also want to keep a lot of the programs that come with BT3 like spoonwep, and the gui wifi setup (cant recall name). I also installed openoffice and I really don't want to reinstall it since I tweaked it heavily.
Right now I have grub start from within ntldr, the windows boot loader. I added my backtrack mbr as an entry in my boot.ini.
sda1 = FAT partition. something for dell's recovery, ~47MB so I'm not touching this.
sda2 = NTFS windows (not touching)
sda3 = swap (not touching)
sda5 = bt3 root
sda6 = bt3 boot this is where my GRUB stuff is.
sda7 = ext3 data partition (not touching)
Here is my current GRUB menu.lst
If anything is unclear, please ask for clarification, I'll be more than happy to clear it up.Code:default 0 timeout 30 title Backtrack 3 KDE rootnoverify(hd1,5) kernel /boot/vmlinuz vga=791 root=/dev/sda5 ro autoexec=xconf;kdm boot title Backtrack 3 rootnoverify(hd1,5) kernel /boot/vmlinuz vga=791 root=/dev/sda5 ro boot
Thank you in advance.
your going to have to make a completely new install. bt3 and bt4 are completely different systems so you cant do the slackware update in the past w/ the dvd. your going have to start from square one again.
They ran this hack in V.M.O., so I'm isolating the A.P.I., and just booting the host. -Matthew Farrell
Aww I was afraid of that.
BT3 had a lot of scripts and programs that BT4 does not. Is there anyway I can save all of them? I still want to essentially merge BT3 and BT4's KDE menus. If there is no easy way of doing this I'll just install the several ones I actually use.
Thanks for your reply.
As for anything else check first to see if it is installed and if so then you may only need to add it to the menu.
Look in the bugs and fixes section here for more info on those items.
There are several threads by me and secure_it that details the info.
Also your personal scripts may work you will just need to copy them over and try them out.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
I just installed the few packages I use most often after starting from scratch. BT4 now works persistently from my hard drive.
Thanks for your replies, consider this topic solved.

For the first five years of her life, Kendall Hollinger's world consisted primarily inside the walls of her home.
It was the only place where her parents felt she would have a safe environment to protect her from food allergies so severe they could be life threatening.
But this cloistered existence caused Kendall to be depressed because she couldn't go to a lot of places other youngsters went to, according to her mother, Kim.
That unhappiness changed when Kendall turned 5 and one of her friends invited her to go ice skating.
"I begged my parents to let me go, but they were reluctant because they weren't sure about the skating rink environment," Kendall said.
Her parents finally relented after a doctor said ice was a clean environment, so why not try it out.
"The minute my feet hit the ice I loved it," Kendall said. "I felt free. The ice became my safe zone."
That first spin on ice for Kendall was 10 years ago. Since that time, she has become a competitive figure skater and is in training for the state championships in two weeks in Artesia. And on Friday and Saturday she will be skating in "Once Upon a Time ...," the third annual spring show at the Glacial Garden Skating Arena in Lakewood.
Photographer Jeff Gritchen and I met up with Kendall and her mother at the Glacial Garden rink Monday.
You couldn't tell from her beautiful skating and her bubbling personality that Kendall has been dealing with a life-threatening disease almost from the day she was born or that she has a feeding tube in her stomach to receive all of her nutrition.
"On the second day after she was born she stopped breathing," her mother recalled. "She had asthma attacks, and she was not really diagnosed until she was 9 months old. She weighed 26 pounds when she was 4 1/2."
Kim said the diagnosis showed that Kendall was allergic to 95 per cent of all food, the worst being all forms of nuts, seeds and eggs. She's also allergic to most vegetables, most fruits, fish and pork to name just a few more.
To insure she gets the proper nutrients, doctors have inserted a gastric feeding tube in her stomach. She proudly showed it to us and told us how it doesn't interfere with her skating or other activities.
Kendall said she isn't allergic to some food, including chicken, potatoes, rice, and, she said with a laugh, Hershey's chocolate (with no nuts, of course). She said Hershey makes its chocolate candy bars without nuts in buildings separate from the nutty bars so there is no danger of contamination.
And, her mother said, although Kendall can eat some food, she gets little or no nutrition from it because her body cannot absorb it and she must get her nutrition from the feeding tube in her stomach.
Kendall said she has had eight life-threatening episodes because of her food allergies.
"My most violent attack was when I was about 8 and we were in a hamburger place in Paso Robles," Kendall said. "I couldn't breathe, I was suffocating and I passed out. We never did find out what caused that."
But what saved Kendall was one of the Epipen syringes she always carries in case she has an anaphylactic attack.
Another attack, her first bad reaction, came when she was five and riding in a rental car with her mother. "Her throat closed, she was unconscious and I had to inject her. We could only guess that there was something in the rental car that caused this," her mother said.
One thing these attacks show is that you can't be too careful about what Kendall eats or comes into contact with, her mother said.
"For example, I had an attack at the skating rink," Kendall said. "We had wiped the railing and other places and couldn't figure out what had happened. It turned out that someone had eaten brownies with nuts in them and played music on a radio which I then touched later. That was enough to cause a reaction."
Inside Glacial Gardens on Monday, Kendall's mother wiped the railings to be extra careful. Kendall wore gloves. And signs outside the rink said, "No Food Inside."
The Hollingers even have to watch the food they give to their dogs at home, Epi, a miniature pinscher, and Spiral, a Chihuahua.
"One time a dog licked her and she got hives so we have to get special dog food," her mother said.
Asked if she ever feels sorry for herself because of her food allergies, Kendall said, "I admit that there are times when it's a struggle and the road has been a little bumpy, but I don't want anyone feeling sorry for me. Each day I focus on positive things in my life."
Kendall said her faith in God, which she got from her parents, has gotten her through many difficult days.
"Sometimes I think this disease is a curse, but most of the time I see it as a blessing," she said. "It makes you thankful to be alive and to be the best person you can be."
In addition to her skating, Kendall enjoys writing and singing country western songs about the ups and downs of life. She is learning to play the guitar.
"My idol is Taylor Swift. I went to her concert at Staples Center and met her afterwards. I almost had a heart attack," she said.
Her skating idols are Michelle Kwan and Joannie Rochette, a Canadian skater whose mother died two days before the Winter Olympics in Vancouver in 2010. Rochette won the Bronze Medal in an emotional performance.
"She fought through so much adversity," Kendall said. "She is really inspirational."
And so, too, is Kendall as she prepares for the shows this weekend and the California skating championships later this month.
"When I'm on the ice, I don't have to worry about food allergies or anything," she said. "It's just the ice and me. I love it. It's my home."
The ice is one place where there's a level playing field, her mom says. "Out there she's just another kid."
"Once Upon a Time ..." will be performed at 7 p.m. Friday and at l:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. Saturday at the Glacial Garden Skating Arena, 3975 Pixie Ave., Lakewood. For ticket information, call 562-429-1805 or go online at www.showtix4u.com.

Medieval literature speaks to 21st-century students
"This class completely changed my perspective about the medieval era," says junior Kyla Greenhorn, an English major with a Religious Studies minor from Hagerstown, Md., who signed up for the class on the advice of her advisor. "It was fascinating to read and understand what people, especially women, in medieval times thought about and wrote about."
The course was offered as a special topics course in British literature for the first time this fall – and not coincidentally was among the first courses taught at McDaniel by the college's new medieval scholar, Wronski-Mayersak.
Believing that students best understand a topic when they not only talk and write about it but when they also manipulate the information, the first-year professor tasked her students with a final project that asked them to keep the spirit of the medieval text yet put it into a contemporary creative form that would speak to 21st-century audiences.
They did just that. One group produced a children's book, complete with 20 illustrations, of the famed Irish folk tale, "The Voyage of St. Brendan." Another turned Ovid's tale of the lovers Ceyx and Alcyone from his "Metamorphoses" into an imaginary romance novel and created a poster for its film adaptation, "Alcyone's Vision," casting Kate Winslet as Alcyone and Hugh Jackman as Ceyx. Other texts were aired in an historical love triangle on a Facebook page and a blog of three medieval women (one real, two fictional).
"Most students are surprised by the rigor of medieval thinking," Wronski-Mayersak says, explaining that common perception is that there was little cultural production and total church control of thought during the Middle Ages, a period from the fifth through the 15th centuries. "Medieval women writers were seriously grappling with their faith, truth, philosophical and theological issues.
"They used writing to give shape to their spirituality, and creative forms to give voice to their thoughts."
Wronski-Mayersak asked her class to do the same in their final projects and in their essays, one of which was to write a dream vision, a genre popular in medieval times that features a troubled dreamer who eventually falls asleep and is guided to some greater insight often by an oracular or allegorical character such as "Lady Holy Church" or "Lady Reason."
Senior Sarah Miller, who describes herself as a secular Jewish student, says she came to the class with an outsider's perspective.
"I was forced to re-evaluate what it meant to be one of those people," says Miller, an English and Psychology double major from Baltimore. "I found the texts to be layered and rich – fun to get a taste of – while discovering that human nature hasn't changed."
The class literally changed sophomore Zach Brown's direction – the English major from Towson, Md., plans to design an interdisciplinary major in Medieval Studies.
"This class is the inspiration for a self-designed major," Brown says. "I like to take an interdisciplinary approach to learning and Medieval Studies includes art, history, literature, theology. It will give me a well-rounded base for understanding cultures and help me find my voice.
"You could say I'm eclectic in my studies."

waiting for your new link sir, can't wait to read your tuts,
I'm sorry for the inconvenience, i went through a revision on My paper about Wireless Attacks and i found some grammar errors which would be awful to read in a paper like that, so i made a full correction on my paper, like a "Security by Nuno Freitas (WIRELESS) 2.0.pdf".
I'll post here the new link to Mediafire and i will also edit the other links in this thread so the older Link wont be avaliable since i erased the file on Mediafire server and uploaded the new one.
Once again, i apologize. Thank you, Nuno Freitas (Strakar)

Thank you
Where can we get the dictionary files from?
I created an e-mail so i can receive some feedback from readers, since i think feedback will help me give the best of me on other tutorials.
excellent tutorial..
Thank you johanpro, glad you enjoyed.
1)i was confused at the point you were saying that after the aireplay attack (to find the hidden essid ) in a wpa encryption
the password can be found?without a dictionary?or reaver? probably i did not understand.my english is not good.
2)do you know any software for wardriving?
1) Hidden ESSID can be found on Open Networks, WEP and WPA. So yes, you can find the password without a dictionary and without reaver, it depends on the encryption, if it is WPA, you cant.
2) If i'm not mistaken, Aircrack-ng has the ability to perform Wardrive and also Airbase.
2) Kismet & then giskimet for mapping in google earth (.kml files)

The iPad 2S......perhaps?
My brother in law just came out from Cali n he works at apple let's just say A5X 8" A6 #3
8" ipad bite will run on A5x iPad 3 will run on A6.
Don't forget the almighty of all idevices! iPhone 5 on A6
I bet the iPad 3 will come with the slower of the 2 chips. If the A5X is slower then thats the iPad3 chip.
They will wait and probably release the iPhone 5 with the A6.
You gotta remember Apple arn't nice. They are in it for the money and love to give out crap.
If they were nice we would have an open iPad that would be so good everyone would want one instead of a lot of Android tablets that just kick *** over any iPad.
You get so hung up on a chip name. For all we know an A5X chip could be up to twice as fast as an A5 but if not called A6 then it must not be worth it and we'll all cry "why oh why has Apple forsaken us"....
I don't understand why all the info from 9 to 5 Mac wasn't included in the post here. Which would have stopped a lot of the babbling going on, the A5x is only a min. upgrade...as the jump from the A4 chip to the A5 was 10 & from the A5 to the A5x is only 5. It also speculates it could be used in the new gen Apple TV, 8" iPad & other IOS devices, where as the A6 is most likely for the iPad 3 (or whatever it will be called) & maybe the iPhone 5 (or whatever it will be called). There is even an image of code confirming said statements, please research before just babbling on about something you haven't taken the time to research or even look into. Knowledge is power & ignorance is just ignorance

Normally progress involves advances in materials, function, performance, and reliability. However, sometimes moving forward to meet the needs of our changing society means taking a calculated step "backward" in technology. A prime example of this concept is Spyderco's Spy-DK™ folding knife.
As the knife laws of other countries became stricter, the UK Penknife became increasingly popular among knife users in many other areas of the world. Some countries, however, like Denmark, prohibited any one-hand-opening knife. To meet the needs of Danish knife users, in 2005 Spyderco produced a modified version of the UK Penknife with a small, chamfered Trademark Round Hole and a shorter blade. The reduced size of the Round Hole still proudly proclaimed the knife as a Spyderco product, but eliminated its function as a "purchase" for one-hand opening. The "DK Penknife™" successfully met Denmark's legal requirements for a legally permissible pocketknife, but was only produced in limited quantities.
The Spy-DK traces its lineage back to Spyderco's UK Penknife™. Originally released in 2004, it was developed in response to restrictive laws in England that prohibited the carry of one-hand-opening lock-blade knives. The UK Penknife combined the key advantages of a classic Spyderco CLIPIT®—a convenient pocket clip and our Trademark Round Hole™—with an improved version of the traditional slipjoint mechanism that featured a notched joint. The resulting hybrid pioneered the concept of the SLIPIT™—a non-locking, clip-carried, one-hand-opening pocketknife—and was an immediate hit in England.
Having confirmed that there was a market eager for a Denmark-legal pocketknife, Spyderco approached Danish custom knifemakers Jens Anso and Jesper Voxnaes and asked them to design an all-new folding knife that was fully compliant with Danish knife law and was consistent with the traditional style of Danish working knives. The resulting knife, released in 2012, was called the Pingo™. Although it was well received and successfully met the needs of most Danish knife users, some of them appealed to Spyderco to make a Denmark-legal knife that offered a more conventional blade shape and better point utility. The response to that appeal was a second-generation DK Penknife—the Spy-DK.
The Spy-DK is based on the exact same platform as the UK Penknife. Its blade is full-flat ground from Böhler-Uddeholm's premium N690Co stainless steel, but its length is reduced to 2.69 inches (68mm) to comply with Danish law. Its Trademark Round Hole™ clearly identifies it as a Spyderco knife and provides a handy purchase for two-handed opening, but the hole is purposely small to prevent one-handed blade-opening methods. Its sturdy notched-joint mechanism is also powered by a strong spring that helps hold the blade securely in the open and closed positions, for safe use as a cutting tool while further precluding one-handed opening.
The Spy-DK's lightweight handle is constructed of injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) scales attached directly to the stainless steel back spacer/spring. The molded checkered pattern on the scales and a textured index-finger choil at the juncture of the blade and handle ensure a secure grip and allow the user's index finger to serve as a natural stop to prevent unintentional closure during use. A reversible deep-pocket wire clip provides both left and right-side tip-up carry, keeping the knife accessible for immediate use while naturally blending with virtually any color of clothing.
Although created to conform with Danish knife laws, the Spy-DK's highly functional design and socially friendly demeanor make it a perfect choice for knife users everywhere. It combines convenient clip carry and a purposeful two-hand-opening into a design that redefines the non-locking pocketknife.
Sometimes progress does indeed start with a calculated step backward.

Carolina Cares marks 40 years of compassion
On December 10, 1969, the University's freshman class started a public service project known as Carolina Cares. That day, several hundred Carolina students canvassed the Greater Columbia area and collected money, food, clothes, and toys for various charitable groups during the holiday season.
What started as a project for the entire freshman class 40 years ago is still going strong.
Here's proof: for this holiday season, Carolina Cares organized and collected more than 1,200 stockings stuffed with toys and personal care items given by University faculty, staff, and students. The stockings were donated to the Salvation Army for distribution to area children in need.
"Carolina Cares is an opportunity for the University to care about and help its neighbors," said Jerry Brewer, a Carolina graduate who participated in Carolina Cares as a student and is now associate vice president for student affairs.
"Helping people in places around the world—like Darfur, for example–is wonderful. But there are so many people that we pass on the street here in Columbia who need a little help, and that is what Carolina Cares is about."
Over the years, the effort has focused on many things, including fundraising, food drives, and Christmas gifts for entire families. Students began Carolina Cares, and students continue to run it.
Steve Cannon
Steve Cannon, who was president of the 1969 freshman class, was instrumental in getting the whole thing started.
"We thought we should do a service project, something to help people in the Midlands," said Cannon, who now practices corporate law in the firm of Constantine Cannon in Washington, D.C. "My original thought was to collect canned goods and call it Carolina Can Do. But then we thought, 'If we're going to go to all this trouble, let's collect everything we can and help everyone we can.

Adolf Treidler Biography
Adolphe Treidler came to Chicago, en route to New York, in 1906. He spent 18 months there working mostly with fashion illustration. His employers never gave him the proofs, ensuring he didn't have a portfolio with which to apply for other jobs. He worked for the Chicago Tribune at a pittance, not knowing to ask the proper wage in the beginning. He arrived in New York and settled into the Madison Square area, making early contact with art director Walter Whitehead. For his early work, he was paid thirty dollars a day. "At the time Scribner's, The Century, McClure's, Munsey's--all those magazines were published in that area . . . I could take my samples to three places on one block . . . I started making up New York samples. I had never seen a hansom cab and hardly ever been in an automobile. I decided to make a drawing with a hansom cab in it. There were a few cars and a lot of hansom cabs at Madison Square and that was the first sample I made to try to get work in New York."
In one of his drawings he included a Pierce Arrow car and Whitehead had just started handling their account. That painting started a long relationship between Treidler and Pierce Arrow. "I never much like story illustration. A little bit . . . I liked scenery and I like travel. . ." He began with some spot illustrations for catalogues, but the main work for Pierce Arrow started in 1928. He used his own images for reference rather than the company's own. "I went out in a car and took my own photographs. I could have had [company produced] photographs and I probably did at some time, but the photographs were all, you know, conventional views such as they used in catalogs, and they weren't much use to me."
The war started him as a poster artist. In 1916 he won the Newark 250th foundation celebration poster and established a national reputation. He was not paid for war posters.
Treidler was also celebrated for his series of magazine covers for Colliers magazine. He met the editor Albert Lee who commissioned six covers at three times what he was normally paid. From 1930, he worked mainly on marine and holiday images for the French Line (and their agents Ayers of Chicago). He also painted murals in the head offices of the French Line.
Adolphe Treidler was instrumental in the development of American commercial art. Treidler produced prints of urban life and one of his favorite themes was the construction of the city. His work show a command of drawing, in most instances derived from photographic reference, and a love of intricate surface pattern often from cast shadows. In the 1930s, Treidler was seen as the great American poster artist, to be mentioned in the same breath as the Beggarstaffs and Steinlen. After 1945, his reputation seemed to have declined except among graphic design enthusiasts and the admirers of Pierce Arrow cars with whom Treidler was most associated. In his later years he turned from commercial illustration to paint purely for his own pleasure. He died in 1982.


text: I'm still trying to get my mind around the idea that somewhere in the 1930's were year 0 in Sartorialist History. Perhaps when the world found its ground shifting under their feet it latched onto the myth of the Upperclass and the images of the AA crystalize this aspirational idea. Well, to be fair, that's not what I'm saying. I don't thing there was a 'year 0'. Norms develop and change over time--that's always been the case. Rather, I am claiming that the latter half of the twentieth century brought with it a sea change in popular philosophical thinking (namely, postmodernsm). Thus, the nature of many of the the changes has been fundamentally different.

"The first person that he got behind on The Tonight Show and made a star was Carrot Top," says Gould.
And I think [Gould] was guilty of using a poetic language to conflate those three kinds of episodic changes.
"We wanted to come in there on our white steed and rescue those books," Gould says.
But on her way to "Gould, Stephen," Goldstein came upon "Goldstein, Rebecca."
Other writers and editors and feminists in all fields took to Twitter to defend Gould.
The stares of these creoles did not matter much; but what on earth had come to Mrs. Gould?
I am about to make you an offer of marriage; indeed, I am serious, Miss Gould!
Mr. Gould, in describing this new species, has done me the honour of calling it after my name.
In front of Judge Gould's office the combat was at its height.
Gould claims that it presents the closest affinities with the pelican and is the wading type of the Pelicanid.

Give, but give wisely
Give, but give wisely
With the economy coming out of the worst recession in decades, many people need help this holiday season. Making a donation to charity can be an important part of the holidays and a great way to give back to our communities.
Unfortunately, scammers take advantage of hard times and try to abuse your generosity. They may claim they're collecting for a worthy cause, such as to help those hurt by Hurricane Sandy, but then pocket your money instead.
Before you give, learn where your money will go and how it will be used. Some telemarketers keep up to 90 percent of the money they collect on behalf of a charity. Under North Carolina law, you have a right to ask what percentage of your donation will would benefit the charity and the telemarketer must tell you in writing within 14 days.
For more detailed financial information about a charity, contact the Secretary of State's office at (888) 830‑4989 or
, or take a look at a charity's financial statements at
. Find out if national charities meet the standards set by the Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance at
Before you give to charity:
Decide what causes matter to you.
Think about whether you want to help programs in your local area, support national charities, or help people overseas.
Do your research.
Instead of donating to someone who solicits you, find charities that are doing work you want to support. Use sites like
to check out charities.
Give to someone whose work you know
. If you've helped as a volunteer, seen the organization's work first hand or checked out its track record, you'll have a better sense of how it operates and how your donation will help.
Watch out for telemarketing pleas.
Think carefully before giving to telemarketers who call on behalf of non-profits, since a large chunk of your gift may go to the for-profit telemarketer. For example, if you wish to support your local police, firefighters or schools, call to ask how you can donate directly to them instead.
Ask how the charity plans to spend your money.
Get written information about the percentage of your donation that will benefit actual programs. If the charity isn't willing to give you that information, don't give them a contribution.
Know how to spot fraud.
Telemarketers that refuse to answer your questions, offer to pick up your donation or pressure you for a credit card number are usually up to no good. If you suspect fraud, let my office know by filling out a
complaint form online
calling 1-877-5-NO-SCAM. Never give your credit card or bank account number to someone you don't know who contacts you.
Don't respond to unsolicited emails, text messages and social networking posts asking you to donate.
You have no way of verifying how your money would really be used. The messages may include links to copycat web sites of legitimate charities to try to trick you.
Get the tax facts.
Not all contributions to non‑profits are tax deductible. For example, small businesses are often asked to place ads in publications as a way to help worthy causes—but these magazines may be published by for‑profit publishers. Check it out before you give.
Give of your time, too.
Many local non-profits and charities need volunteers as well as donations. Even if your budget is extra tight this year, you can still donate your time and talents.

Nobody knows yet how many of Kennecott Utah Copper's 2,100 workers will be laid off because of the unprecedented landslide inside Bingham Canyon Mine last month.
Nobody knows when the layoffs will occur. And nobody yet knows how long they will last.
What is certain is everyone's job is on the line: Union, nonunion, salaried and hourly positions are all vulnerable.
"We will be looking at roles across the operation," Kennecott spokesman Kyle Bennett said Friday, adding that he knows nothing more than what the company told union officials Thursday. A still undetermined number of employees will be laid off some time this month because the collapse of the northeast section of the 4,000-foot-deep open-pit mine will cut expected 2013 ore production in half.
"Obviously there will be an impact," Bennett said.
Anxiety among the 1,800 unionized workers is high, say officials with the United Steelworkers, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Operating Engineers and Machinists. Many, perhaps even most, have never been laid off by Kennecott before. And the jobs they've had for years pay well. Salaries between $50,000 and $60,000 a year are common. Some go as high as $80,000, officials say.
"Everybody is wondering, how deep will these layoffs go, and how will it affect their families?" said Brandon Dew, business agent for the Operating Engineers Local No. 3, with 200 members at the mine.
"People have been asking me, 'What's going on? What's the latest you've heard?' People are starting to get concerned. These will be the first layoffs for many of them. They are not used to this," said Scott Mullins, president of United Steelworkers Local No. 392. With 1,200 members, the Steelworkers is the biggest labor union at Bingham Canyon.
No time is opportune for layoffs, but the coming furloughs will happen when Utah's economy is humming. The unemployment rate in Salt Lake, Utah and Davis counties is less than 5 percent; Tooele County's jobless rate is 5.4 percent, according to the state Department of Workforce Services. Even more important than low unemployment is the rate at which jobs are being created. In March, the number of jobs in Utah was up 4 percent compared with the same month last year well above the long-term average of 3.1 percent.
"It's always better to be laid off in the springtime and summer than in the winter in Utah, especially if you are a heavy equipment operator. It's easier to pick up construction-type jobs," Mullins said.
Big projects such as the Interstate 15 highway widening project in Utah County and the Mountain View Corridor construction in Salt Lake County are finished, but new-home construction, stagnant for almost five years, has picked up. Ivory Homes, the largest builder of single-family homes and apartments in Utah, is looking at labor shortages, Chief Executive Clark Ivory said.
"The market contracted so much that many of the subcontractors and suppliers got out of the market, and as things grow substantially, not only for us, but for the entire [Wasatch Front] market, we are seeing a labor shortage in many areas," Ivory said.
"We would hope that members of our union would be able to find work pretty quickly," said Dew, with the Operating Engineers. "I do believe that's possible. The economy is picking up. Winter has passed [and] we believe there are good opportunities out there."
International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local No. 354 business manager Rich Kingery said as many as half of his 40 members at the mine could be laid off. But construction activity in the area is strong enough that the union should be able to find jobs for any licensed electrician "in a fairly reasonable amount of time."
Wayne Holland, international staff representative for the Steelworkers, said Kennecott will push to bring the mine back to full production as soon as possible. Right now, copper prices are good. Gold and silver prices are at near-record highs, and demand for molybdenum is good, he said.
Still, there is sure to be a lot of pain among many workers whose skills may not be so easily transferred to other jobs. "For many people, it will be hard," Holland said.
Anticipating that, the Department of Workforce Services plans to move a rapid response team into position when the extent of the layoffs is known, spokesman Nic Dunn said.
"We are ready to deploy our ... team to help educate these individuals about all the options and resources available to them, as well as assist them in a new job search," Dunn said. "That rapid response deployment will include information about how to use our online job exchange, how to utilize our employment centers, how to receive Unemployment Insurance should they need it, and many other resources in training, re-training, and job searching," he said.

The Skill of Knowing When to Fold Them
A Federal District Court Judge in Brooklyn ruled that poker is a game of skill, rather than a game of chance. At issue was whether game operators should be prosecuted under the federal law that prohibits running an illegal gambling business. Judge Jack Weinstein noted in his ruling that the "most professional poker players earn the same celestial salaries as professional ballplayers," and reviewed statistics which showed that in a sample of 100 million poker hands played, over 70% of those hands were won before cards were turned over. Instead, he reasoned "[t]he pot went not to the luckiest among them but to the most deft — the player who could guess his opponents' intentions and disguise his own, make calculated decisions on when to hold and fold, and quickly decide how much to wager."

Trip (Turning Research Into Practice) Database
Trip is a FREE clinical search engine designed to allow users to find and use high-quality research evidence to support their practice and/or care. As well as research evidence the database also allows clinicians to search across other content types including images, videos, patient information leaflets, educational courses and news.
A special algorithm for listing results
The algorithm uses three main factors when deciding the position of particular search results:
Text score. If a search term is in the title of the document it scores more highly than if it only appears in the body of the text. If it only appears once in a thousand word document it scores less than if it appears twenty times.
Publication score. Trip is unique in using a publication score, based on quality, to help order results. So, a high quality resource (such as Cochrane) will have a higher score than say the BMJ and this again will score more highly than an eTextbook.
Date. The more recent the document the higher the score.
These three elements are combined to give each document a score. The document with the highest score appears at the top of the results.
Registering as a user
There are many benefits to registering (for free) to Trip, including:
Keeping up to date with new research based on your clinical specialty and/or specific topics of interest. Each month, Trip identifies new content focused on your interests and emails these to you.
UVM/FAHC has registered with Trip so that you can easily access your institution's full-text holdings via Trip.
Many clinicians find it useful to keep a record of activity they have spent on Trip. This may be for CPD/CME purposes or simple curiosity.
Trip is currently planning a number of new features that are based on a user's history of usage. So, by registering Trip creators can start to better learn how you use Trip, which will better serve your future information/evidence needs.
To register, click on the green Sign up button in the upper right-hand corner of the home screen. You will be asked to give your email address, pick a password, and give information about your interests and specialty.

By Judyrae Kruse Herald Columnist
Judyrae Kruse is taking some time off. Here is an encore column from June 2004.
Next to a pot of soup and a loaf of bread or pan of rolls, the next most smug-making accomplishment I know of is jam.
So I smiled like a chessy cat all weekend, as our luscious local strawberries and raspberries went into jam jars and then went on their way out to the freezer.
I even grinned my way through two nights of leftover strawberries. These were sliced and sweetened and went over shortcakes and under mounds of whipped cream. Then it was on to the leftover raspberries. They were destined, as always, for one of my mother's marvelous raspberry pies.
If you're now berry determined to cash in on these seasonal delights, whether or not you wind up making jam, you may at least want to have some shortcake for dessert.
You can cheat if it seems like a good idea, and pick up the shortcakes at the store or whip up a packaged mix.
Or, you can make my favorite scone recipe. We think it's wonderful for shortcakes, and you can freeze the leftovers to haul out for breakfast or teatime some morning or afternoon. Just thaw, warm, butter the scones lavishly and spread with some of that freezer or other jam.
And then … and then … you might want to make the pie, too.
When I was growing up, it wouldn't have been summer at my house without at least one of these. Preferably, one after the other, as long as the berries hung in.
Naturally, but peculiarly, other people in the family had other ideas about dessert, so an unending string of this particular favorite never actually happened. But I never gave up hoping and, when summer rolls around and raspberries are ripe, I never ever miss a chance to make one.
Besides, either the shortcake or the pie might just be the perfect finish to whatever dandy dinner you're fixing this Sunday for our special dads and grandads (Editor's note: or moms and grams). Just in case, here are both recipes.
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for kneading and patting out
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup powdered sugar
6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 egg, plus enough whole milk to measure 2/3 cup liquid
Few drops vanilla extract
Granulated sugar
Sweetened berries and whipped cream or butter and jam, jelly or honey
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder and powdered sugar, stirring to mix well. Quickly cut in butter until mixture resembles little peas or oatmeal. Lightly beat the egg in a measuring cup; then add enough milk to make a total liquid measure of 2/3 cup. Add vanilla. Add the egg-milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir gently with a fork until it holds together.
Gather dough into a ball, place on a lightly floured surface and knead gently about 10 to 12 times only. Still working on a lightly floured surface, with your hands, evenly pat the dough into a square 1/2-inch thick. Cut the square into 4 smaller squares. Cut each small square into 2 or 3 triangular pieces. Place the scones on an ungreased baking sheet about 1 inch apart and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
Bake at 425 degrees about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool to serve as shortcakes with strawberries and whipped cream. Or serve warm with butter, jam, jelly or honey.
Makes 8 to 12.
