Aerosmith's Plans Include Solo Albums, Maybe New Group Album
Listen to Aerosmith Radio on iHeartRadio
Aerosmith's Joe Perry admits he's not sure what the group will do once they finish their tour. The guitarist tells ArtistDirect.com he knows frontman Steven Tyler "wants to do a solo record," while he's "halfway through" an album of his own.
Perry says he has a half-dozen songs he's "really excited about," and he's eager to return to the project. But he adds that a new Aerosmith album isn't out of the question. Joe says he thinks their last effort, Music From Another Dimension, is "one of the best" albums Aerosmith has made "in a long time," and he'd like to see the group "stick to our guns and keep making records like that and promote them our own way."
On the horizon for Perry is the release of his memoir, Rocks: My Life in and Out of Aerosmith, which is due October 7th. Joe says he expects to go on a book tour this fall, and he and his publisher are also "thinking of different ways to use the Internet" to promote it.
Aerosmith is currently on the "Let Rock Rule" tour with Slash.

Reading Level: Grade 7-10
Nothing has ever been the same since Pierce died. When the 15-year-old opened her eyes she was no longer drowning in her backyard pool, she was in a cold, dank cavern where a frightening man directs her to a line. Then Pierce sees someone she knows, a man all in black astride a gigantic stallion. She had seen John many years ago when her grandfather died. Pierce runs to the man and asks him to take her away from the cavern. He does. To his luxurious lair. He announces she will stay with him forever and gives her a necklace to keep her safe. Pierce throws her hot tea in his face and runs down a passageway...she opens her eyes in the emergency room.
Pierce was revived, but she is not the same person. Nothing seems important to her, not with John hovering near. Every time John appears in her life, something horrible happens and Pierce gets blamed. When she is expelled from her latest school 17-year-old Pierce and her mother retreat to her mother's hometown Isla Huesos to live near family. Pierce would never have agreed to go if she had known who else lived there.

Hate to bring back an older thread but I also have the Belkin F7D2101 device plugged into my laptop but airmon doesnt show any devices at all, not even my internal wifi device in the laptop (probably not supported for airmon, and thus not showing up). How do I go about installing the drivers for the Belkin device?
At the moment BT5 is using my internal wifi to access the web, but doesnt work for airmon. So how would I go about installing the drivers for this device, and getting BT5 to use the USB device and not the internal card?

We are holding a white collar boxing event on 23rd November 2013. We are raising funds for our towns voluntary all weather lifeboat. The government withdrew the all weather lifeboat a few years ago which left a long stretch of coast without the cover or safety of an all weather lifeboat.
A local businessman bought and donated a new all weather lifeboat and is recruiting and training a crew to man the lifeboat. They receive absolutely NO funding from the government, local councils, RNLI or anywhere else. The only funds they receive are by donations from the general public or by events such as the one we are organising.
With this in mind we are looking for people who want to take part in a white collar boxing event. We have a few total novice guys from the local town that have started training for the event, but we are looking for more participants. So if anyone wants to help us out then please PM me on here.
Many thanks in advance.

Reporter finds thrills in Butler saga
Updated 2:40 pm, Friday, October 19, 2012
An initial surprise in Robert Olen Butler's historical novel "The Hot Country" comes from the fact that it is a thriller with a reporter as the protagonist.
It's a risk for a writer, given the long stretches of tedium that usually characterizes the journalistic life. Butler, a Pulitzer Prize-winning fiction winner who teaches at Florida State University, makes it work with the help of an exotic setting.
Christopher Marlowe Cobb, a Chicago newspaper reporter, is on assignment in the Mexican port city of Veracruz in 1914. The Mexican revolution is under way. U.S. President Woodrow Wilson has sent troops to occupy Veracruz. A German ship loaded with munitions is docked in Veracruz' bay. World War I is only months away.
Cobb, as cynical as journalists come, files his stories by telegraph. The booze is flowing. The casual sex is spontaneous. But, facing competition from other foreign correspondents in Veracruz, Cobb is looking for a good story.
His first-person narrative, in an original voice readers must become accustomed to, springs to life when a high-level German government figure with a scar on his face surreptitiously comes to shore from the ship in the dead of night.
Entertainment Channel
Meanwhile, Cobb has become attracted to a hotel laundress, Luisa, who epitomizes the kind of reckless, violent type of female soldier that became famous during the Mexican revolution. People start getting shot by a sniper.
Cobb hires a crafty, sneaky boy to do some spying on the German consulate and the German scarface. Events develop from there. Along the way, the settings move to the Coahuila desert, Chicago and New Orleans, where Cobb's mother sings in brothels. San Antonio makes a cameo appearance. The Alamo itself may not be safe from German intentions.
The reader will meet Pancho Villa along the way in scenes where anything can happen from moment to moment.

The Hot Country
By Robert Olen Butler
The Mysterious Press, $25
The plot starts off well, and the tension is well-sustained. The scenic descriptions and characters are appealing. The action has plenty of surprises. Overall, readers will find much to enjoy. It's just that the final chapters take some hard-to-accept turns. Is Cobb really that close to being a 1914 Superman?

Brevard, N.C.-The Brevard College softball team split their doubleheader with the Lees-McRae Bobcats on Monday afternoon, taking the opener 3-1 before falling to the Bobcats 4-1 in the second game.
Game 1: Brevard 3, Lees-McRae 1
The Tornados picked up the win in the first game on the shoulders of starter Jamie Hrobak (W, 3-2), who hurled a complete-game four-hitter. The freshman struck out ten Bobcats in the process, allowing only one earned run.
The Tornados picked up a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the 1st thanks to patience at the plate, as BC worked four walks in the inning against starter Kristen Oakes (L, 0-6).
The Bobcats scored their only run in the top of the 5th as Kierstie Moon tripled in Lori Fulmer with two outs. Hrobak ended the Bobcats scoring threat by inducing a groundout to end the inning.
Game 2: Lees-McRae 4, Brevard 1
The Bobcats went in front 2-0 against BC starter Kayla Clemens (L, 2-3) in the top of the 3rd inning on a two-run double by Hanna Huckabee.
Emily Boykins pinch-hit RBI single in the bottom of the 4th made it a one-run game, but the Bobcats got a pair of runs in the top of the 6th, scoring on a passed ball and an RBI single by Fulmer.
The Tornados had runners in scoring position in both of their final two at bats, but couldn't bring any runs home.
The Tornados will play four games this weekend as part of the Mid-South Classic softball tournament in Spartanburg, S.C. BC will see North Georgia, Bellarmine, Armstrong and Columbus State between Friday and Sunday.

CS13TL: 13TL Warcraft Tanto
Cold Steel
Cold Steel has brought out some very creative tantos through the years and this Warcraft series is no exception. These are well made and feature CPM 3V as the blade material. Crucible Industries, the American manufacturer of this steel, describes it as follows: "The wear and toughness properties of CPM 3V make it an excellent alternative to shock-resistant steels such as S7 or A9, where they typically wear out too quickly, but where grades such as A2, CruWear, or CPM M4 tend to fail by breaking or chipping. CPM 3V offers the highest impact toughness of any tool steel with this range of wear resistance"
We're just glad that Cold Steel is still bringing out fantastic products with amazing design and materials. Here is Cold Steel's description of the product:
Lynn C Thompson has championed the awesome power of the Tanto for over 30 years. A pioneer in modern Tanto design, Lynn developed Tantos that could not only provide amazing cutting and piercing power, but perform a brutal snap cut too, making lightning fast, versatile and powerful knives that were met with great critical acclaim and widespread popularity, particularly with the Military who appreciated their robust and reliable design coupled with superior fighting functionality.
But, unlike many designers who rest upon their laurels, Lynn continued to explore, research and refine his designs, looking for ways to make better and better products. Over the next three decades Lynn has developed a wide variety of Tantos, and the Warcraft Tanto (the first in our series of Warcraft blades) embodies his very latest thoughts and ideas regarding this truly inspiring blade shape.
The Warcraft Tanto's blade is noticeably thicker than many of the knives on the market today. With it's tough reinforced tip, elegantly curved cutting edge and sturdy one-piece construction, it is designed to soak up punishment while delivering unprecedented performance.
Made from high quality, expertly heat treated, sub zero quenched American CPM 3-V steel, the Warcraft Tanto's blade features a stout flat ground primary cutting edge and a chisel ground secondary blade bevel, both hand sharpened to hair popping sharpness. The intersection of these two blade bevels (The Yakote) forms a wickedly effective secondary point that allows for a devastating snap cut.
The Warcraft Tanto is then DLC coated – Our DLC (Diamond Like Coating) is not only highly rust and scratch resistant but reduces glare and minimizes friction when cutting while making the blade incredibly hard.
During the testing process for this knife our R&D team left a prototype exposed to the elements deep in the Pennsylvania woods. After 3 months the blade was immaculate!
Its perfectly balanced taper-ground full tang is encased in 3D machined American G10 scales. Comfortable and secure in hand, it's equally at home as a reliable workhorse or life-saving combat knife.
Complete with our ever popular Secure-Ex sheath (now compatible with Tek-Lok belt adaptors to facilitate concealed carry under a coat or jacket) , the Warcraft Tanto is rugged, dependable and as powerful as it is beautiful.

Memo to the Right Wing: Women Know You Really Have Our Backs
Dear Right Wing,
On behalf of my country and my gender, I would just like to say that I'm so sorry the media has cruelly misconstrued your obviously well-intentioned musings on rape and rape-related pregnancies. SO frustrating, guys! For some reason women get all sensitive and dramatic when it comes to what the government will force us to do or not to do after being sexually assaulted.
I know, sometimes the political environment just seems so darn friendly to social extremism that you let you guard down for ONE moment and try to have an intelligent conversation with mature adults about how rape and resulting pregnancies are God's will, and in fact, "gifts" from God and suddenly …

Bodies found in Lake Erie are likely missing kayakers
(Marblehead)- Two bodies found in Lake Erie appears to be that of a 12-year-old girl who went missing with her father earlier this month while they were kayaking.
The Erie County Sheriff's office says they think the pair are Jonathan and Viola Francis based on their clothing and persinal effects.
The U.S. Coast Guard tells Newsradio WTAM 1100 they retrieved the body of a young girl Friday morning in the open waters of Lake Ere about six miles northeast of the city of Huron.
The Erie County Coroner's Office says the body of a man was found three hours later by a fisherman near the Cedar Point breakwall.
Police and family members say Viola and Jonathan Francis never came home after they left on a short kayak trip on April 6.
The pair did not have life jackets when they set out on Sandusky Bay. Two empty kayaks were found the next day.

you could try recovering what used to be on this partition using freeware
tanx alot phil5. ure my hero
after a realy long time i got my laptop restored to its factory settings by using ur method.
but i have a question . why am i still not able to create lenovo recovery dvds?
i got errors like "unable to find...", " the files needed.." ,etc.
dadham, it's been a while since i've fiddled with the lenovo recovery dvds making program. but since you've mastered the lower level straightforward recovery with imagex, perhaps you'll be better off making the dvd backups yourself by copying the image and config files onto the media of your choice.
if i remeber correctly, for me the program seemed to work fine but my x120e doesn't have a dvd drive... and i didn't have any usb drives that were large enough at the time. so i just copied the recovery partition to my an external drive, as well as onto some dvds, manually, by splitting everything into a zip archive.
Hey phil5,
I know this is bringing an old post back from the dead, but I just wanted to write to let you know that your posts here literally saved me a ton of a headache just now. I had loaded Windows 8 onto my machine (ThinkPad Edge E420 to be precise), and after realizing that the optical disk wasn't recognized (don't know how that happened since I used the drive to install the OS), I decided to downgrade when nothing I did fixed it.
Your posts made it easy for me to construct a list of actions I needed to do, and I dunno if you've received enough thanks for it!
For posterity's sake I'll list what I did:
Boot Ubuntu from USB.
Open "recovery.ini" file in a text editor.
Write down sizes of partitions for later.
Boot from Win7 Recovery disk.
Use DISKPART application to create partitions per your instructions but with my computer's size values.
Boot from Ubuntu USB (again).
Install 7zip plugin.
Extract "sdrivebackup.wim" and "cdrivebackup.wim" to their respective drives.
Boot from Recovery disk (again).
Allow it to automatically repair installation and reboot.
Navigate to advanced options and open terminal.
Perform the BOOTREC.EXE commands per your instructions.
Exit out of terminal, reboot from hard-drive.
Watch as it boots!
Sorry for the long first post... I just figured there might be some desparate Windows 8 users who now want to go back, and I hadn't found a single post with everything all together. When I'd upgraded to Win8, I thought that the Lenovo recovery partition functioned exactly like that of other manufacturer's computers and could be booted to at any time. Boy was I mistaken.
Once again, thanks for the great info, phil5!
Phil5. I want to thank you for your instructions on how to restore the factory os installation on my laptop. I modified your instructions to do what I needed it do without creating a WinPE thumbdrive. This required another computer since the laptop will down.
Plug the laptop drive into a computer running Windows 7
Open disk management and select the drive.
Create partition 1. Size=1199mb FS=ntfs Label="SYSTEM_DRV" Assign=S
Create partition 2. FS=ntfs Label="Windows7_OS"
Open CMD with administrative privileges.
list disk
select disk # (# is the laptop drive)
select partition 1
Download imagex or imagex64 for Win7x64
unzip and move file to c:\windows\system32
Open CMD with administrative privileges
this assumes Q:\ is your lenovo recovery partition, S:\ is your System_Drv, X:\ is your Windows7_OS
imagex.exe /apply /verify Q:\factoryrecovery\Sdrivebackup.wim 1 S:\ (Change S:\ to whatever System_DRV letter is)
imagex.exe /apply /verify Q:\factoryrecovery\Cdrivebackup.wim 1 X:\ (Change X:\ to whatever Windows7_OS is)
After it's completed, put the drive back into the laptop and boot from a windows 7 disk. Do a repair startup. This should fix boot issue and restart into a fresh factory install of Lenovo's Windows 7.
How do I do this on a lenovo thinkpad edge e330 running windows8?
Thank you Phill5!! This helped me restore my hard drive to its factory state.
I am not familiar with any in depth aspects of using command prompts and thought restoring the harddrive to its original factory state would be completely automated. However, it has stopped on the command prompt screen with the following message: "Does C:\MINIT specify a file name or directory name on the target <F = File, D = Directory>? What do I do here? Will there be more of this that I need to complete? Thank you for your assistance.

By Jake Landers
Published September 2012
What has happened to our rangeland following combinations in the past year of extreme drought, wildfires that wouldn't quit, temperatures that kept going up, and the usual mix of livestock and wildlife grazing pressure? I'm tempted to say "Who knows?!" and go on to a less complicated subject, or "Who cares?!" and let the land take care of itself. My conscience wouldn't let me take either choice. We need to observe what has happened and hope that we can understand our individual responsibility in passing our knowledge of land management on to the next generation.
A return to more normal growing conditions and recovery on our rangeland first of all has required rainfall. An assortment of adapted species, mostly our native grasses and forbs, have responded to the levels of moisture and temperature to which they are adapted. In most situations, recovery has begun.
As the 2012 season progressed, we saw an abundance of moisture in the early months, so much so that the wildflowers smothered the recovering grasses with waves of colorful blankets. First came a carpet of canary yellow Bladderpods, then orange Greenthreads and Engelmann daisy, purple Horsemint, reddish Indian blanket, many drab annuals, including Burclover, Vetch and, later on, Doveweed and Broomweed. Rainfall became spotty, and the appraisal of recovery became more difficult to make general conclusions.
My observations have been made from the pickup window on our place south of Menard, from the highways south and east of San Angelo to Mason, and on local ranches at different levels of range condition, one recovering from an August wildfire. It's not a well defined area, let's say, "Western parts of the Hill Country," and keep the boundaries open.
Early on, recovering plants were Texas wintergrass, Canada wildrye, and a few more of the cool season grasses. In photo No. 2., seedlings and sprouts of Texas wintergrass can be seen several inches apart in a pasture where they usually are clumps several inches wide. By mid-summer similar small clumps of Buffalo grass, Curly mesquite grass, Tall threeawn, Hall's Panicum, Texas grama, Red grama, Hairy tridens, (Don't think of the last three as recovery plants except that they are a lot better than bare ground!) and others were appearing as new plants as seen in Photo No. 3.
Little bluestem and Feather bluestem were sprouting from surviving clumps, and Vine mesquite was extending runners. In late summer I began to see Sideoats grama seeding out as a very good sign of recovery. In photo No. 5., Sideoats is expanding from the protection of an Algerita bush, showing the value of some of our brushy species in protecting desirable plants from damage by excessive grazing. I hope you have been seeing the same recovery patterns.
The one example that I observed of recovery after a wildfire was most encouraging. The pasture was in good shape before the burn, and the native plants responded with good recovery as we have learned to expect from well conducted prescribed burns. I hesitate to say anything more about the wildfires, but I expect a lot of site to site variation, from extremely slow recovery where fire was severe and rainfall was slight, to good recovery where conditions were less extreme and rainfall was adequate.
Our native plants that have been growing and reproducing for thousands of years in our environment are going to keep on keeping on. I marvel at one example of survival and recovery as shown in photo No 4. Five years ago I had transplanted clones of Eastern Gamagrass, our most productive and palatable native grass, into its natural habitat of deep soil suitable for cultivation at our pecan orchard east of Menard. I am hoping to develop an ideal hay crop plant without irrigation that comes back from roots instead of requiring seeds every year. The planting was vigorous going into the severe drought year of 2011, it received no irrigation water, was burned in winter, and every one of several hundred plants survived. This fall I will get some estimates of its production.
Further recovery of our rangeland resources hinges on two things, Rainfall, and the associated weather that we have no control over, and Management, the applied wisdom of the land manager who determines what is grazing on the land. Livestock have no applied wisdom except to eat the best they can find.
Those ranchers who stocked too early or too heavily are apt to see Broomweed, Doveweed, and other unpalatable annuals take over this fall and delay recovery much to their disappointment. Good luck on the rain, wisdom on the management.

Reading The Landscape
Photo taken last winter along Highway 83 in central Texas. What is the potential production of this rangeland? Suggest some problems with management and range recovery. —JL
|See below for Jake's answer

Happy Tax Day! I suspect that many Americans are now getting around to filing. You're not alone if you're befuddled by some of the taxman's rules. They're confusing in cloud computing, too.
The results of a new survey of 250 senior U.S. corporate tax officers from KPMG (an audit, tax, and advisory firm) show that many companies are lost when it comes to the tax implications of doing business in the cloud. This confusion leads to missed cost savings and possibly tax problems if companies don't get smart about the rules of the cloud.
[ Cloud computing shares resources that were never shared before, creating a new set of risks and demanding a new set of security best practices. Learn those new security practices from Cloud Security Digital Spotlight PDF special report. | Stay up on the cloud with InfoWorld's Cloud Computing Report newsletter. ]
The survey cites lack of awareness as the key issue -- tax issues aren't part of a cloud strategy or implementation. For example, nearly all (92 percent) of the survey respondents said they have not taken advantage of state and local tax credits for cloud investment.
The problem is that the people who implement cloud strategies are not accountants or tax attorneys, and they typically don't consult with those guys. I know I don't. As a result, many of us are leaving money on the table -- or not paying taxes that are due. Honestly, all most of us know is that deferring a purchase or moving it forward can affect capital deductions, and sometimes there's a tax reason to move from buying to leasing.
To correct this ignorance, I propose a bold departure from the norm: We need to include the finance department in the cloud computing lifecycle, specifically the tax management people. Are there credits available not being used? Are there tax compliance issues to address, perhaps related to doing business in a new location or through an on-demand service versus hiring a firm? Direct those questions to your money people.
Who knows? Maybe you'll end up with a happy Tax Day!

London Victim: Lee Rigby, 25
(NEWSER) – The victim in yesterday's London attack has been identified as 25-year-old Lee Rigby, reports the BBC. Rigby was indeed in the British army, having served as both a machine gunner and a drummer in a unit called the 2nd Battalion of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. He has a 2-year-old son named Jack. "He was one of the battalion's great characters—always smiling and always ready to brighten the mood with his fellow Fusiliers," says one sergeant. The Guardian has a fuller statement from the defense department about "Riggers," recounting his military bio, his "larger than life" personality, and his passion for the Man U soccer team.

Hewlett-Packard has agreed to pay $108 million and plead guilty to bribery charges associated with dealings in Russia, Poland and Mexico. It also agreed to the facts laid out by the U.S. authorities, which give a detailed glimpse at the mechanics of corruption.
Money from H-P subsidiaries was funneled through complex webs of bank accounts, shell companies and partners in multiple countries to government officials, according to court documents filed by the Department of Justice, which investigated the activity along with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other agencies.
In Russia, where the illegal activity went on from 2000 to 2007, H-P's money was spent on travel, cars, jewelry, clothing, expensive watches, furniture, household appliances and "swimming pool technology," the Justice Department said.
In one case, a Bosnian account of a company registered in the British Virgin Islands paid a nearly €108,000 hotel bill for a company owned by a family member of an unnamed senior Russian government official.
In Poland, the activity by H-P subsidiary occurred roughly between 2006 and 2010, the government agencies stated. The goal was to secure and maintain millions of dollars with the Polish National Police agency.
An unnamed executive in H-P's Polish unit repeatedly delivered bags of cash to an unnamed information-technology director of the agency–described mainly in court documents as "Polish Official," sometimes at the recipient's house and sometimes in a Warsaw parking lot. Four such deliveries in 2008 totaled more than $360,000, according to an information statement filed in U.S. District Court in U.S. District Court in San Jose, Calif.
The two conspirators went to great lengths to avoid detection or electronic surveillance.
"In addition to communicating through anonymous e-mail accounts and prepaid mobile telephones," the H-P executive would drive the Polish official to "remote locations, and the two would type messages in a text file, passing the computer between themselves."
The Polish official also took H-P funded trips to San Francisco and Las Vegas, "and a private tour flight over the Grand Canyon," the government document states.
In Mexico, according to the court documents, to secure contracts to sell hardware and software to oil company known as Pemex, H-P agreed to pay a $1.41 million "commission" to an unnamed consultant who had close ties to senior Pemex executives.
The money was hidden in a transaction involving another sales partner, with the consultant subsequently paying one of the Pemex officials approximately $125,000.
H-P's payment in connection with the settlement to the government does not rank among the Top Ten of such penalties under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The government agencies noted that the company had cooperated with their investigations.
"The misconduct described in the settlement was limited to a small number of people who are no longer employed by the company," John Schultz, the company's general counsel, said in a statement issued Wednesday.

Note: An earlier version of this item incorrectly put the hotel bill in question at €107.9 million.

Nvidia has unveiled a new family of Tesla GPUs based on Nvidia Kepler GPU computing architecture, which makes GPU-accelerated computing easier and more accessible for a broader range of high performance computing (HPC) scientific and technical applications.
The new Nvidia Tesla K10 and K20 GPUs are computing accelerators built to handle the most complex HPC problems in the world. Designed with an intense focus on high performance and extreme power efficiency, Kepler is three times as efficient as its predecessor, the Nvidia Fermi architecture, which itself established a new standard for parallel computing when introduced two years ago, the vendor said.
Nvidia developed a set of innovative architectural technologies that make the Kepler GPUs high performing and highly energy efficient, as well as more applicable to a wider set of developers and applications including SMX Streaming Multiprocessor, Dynamic Parallelism and Hyper-Q, it said.

Katy Perry picks 'Dark Horse' as next 'Prism' single
Listen to Katy Perry on iHeartRadio
Billboard has confirmed that Capitol Records has rush-released "Dark Horse" to radio as the next official single from Katy Perry's Prism album.
"Dark Horse," which was already released as an iTunes promotional single before the full release of Prism, has already sold 785,000 downloads to date. The trap-pop track has already been receiving plenty of spins from radio stations, despite Capitol not actively seeking them out until now. Plus, it's currently No. 8 on iTunes, so it looks like Katy's definitely got another huge hit on her hands.

Child drowns at Euclid YMCA
(Euclid) – Police are investigating the drowning of a 9-year-old boy at the Euclid YMCA.
Vice President of Marketing for the Greater Cleveland YMCA Rick Haase says it happened around 4:00PM Tuesday when about 26 kids were in the water.
Nine-year-old Lonnie Smith Jr. of Cleveland Heights was non-responsive when he was pulled from the water. Lonnie was taken to the Euclid Hospital Emergency Room and then lifeflighted to MetroHealth Medical Center where he passed away Tuesday evening.
"Truly this is a tragedy and we extend our condolences and deepest sympathy to the family," says Haase.
Haase says Smith was from a day care center that rented the "Y" pool. Three lifeguards were on duty and all members of the "Y" staff are being provided with counseling.
Euclid Police have closed the pool during the investigation.
The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office says the death is listed as a probable drowning, but an autopsy has not yet been conducted.

Aaron Hernandez denies gang involvement
Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez denies being involved with a street gang,Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson said, according to Christine McConville of the Boston Herald.
Hernandez has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd and has been held without bail in the Bristol County House of Corrections. Hernandez is a "high-profile" inmate and for his own protection, and for the safety of staff and other inmates, Hodgson's staff has examined the many tattoos on Hernandez's body for signs of gang activity.
"He talked to our gang investigators and said he didn't have any involvement," Hodgson said on Monday. "We always take extra precautions. We don't have any definite issues at this point, but we're still being very cautious."
Shortly after his arrest, a photo surfaced on TMZ.com of a high school-aged Hernandez flashing what appears to be gang signs. Hernandez also has "blood" tattooed on his right hand, but that word appears to be part of the larger phrase "blood sweat tears".
Thus far, Hodgson says the 23-year-old Hernandez has been a "model inmate", despite being a first-time inmate having to adjust from living in a 7,100-square foot home to a 7-by-10-foot cell.
"He's been very polite, very respectful. He doesn't seem nervous, which is unusual for someone who's never been incarcerated before," said Hodgson. "He now has three hours out of his cell each day. That's an hour outside, by himself, an hour to shower and make phone calls, and another hour to see visitors."

Jessica and James were married at Lichfield Ponds in Tocerville, Utah on March 9. The bride wore a tea-length wedding dress, accessorized with a lace long-sleeved bolero and "something blue" peep-toe pumps, while the groom wore a casual tan suit and blue button-up shirt, accessorized with flip flops. Guests were greeted with moonshine cherry limeades from the "sand bar" and asked to take a parasol umbrellas before they took their seats at the ceremony. Even programs doubled as fans! The escort card display featured vintage shutters, books, and a pinwheel and cafe lights backdrop, and reception tables were decorated with driftwood, coral, and starfishes. As a special thank you (and in lieu of a cake), slices of pie were wrapped to-go as favors. Yum!

Hypothyroidism and Pregnancy
Hello, I am a hypothyroid patient. I have been taking my medications regularly but, I wanted to know if hypothyroid can cause a miscarriage as you will not know your pregnant until you have missed your periods?

Dear sonu84,
I'm sorry to say that untreated hypothyroidism does significantly increase a woman's chance of miscarriage in the first trimester of pregnancy (some studies show this risk is doubled compared to the normal population). This resource about thyroid awareness explains this in detail.
Is your hypothyroidism controlled by medication?
I'm so sorry to read on your other post that you experienced a miscarriage. My heart goes out to you.
With medication and monitoring many, many women with thyroid problems have healthy babies. You may find this information on pregnancy and thyroid disorders useful.
We are here for you on this forum.

Family Foundation Statement On Marriage Case: Fourth U.S. Circuit Hears Challenge To Virginia's Marriage AmendmentMay 13, 2014
The Family Foundation of Virginia released this statement to the media earlier today regarding the hearing at the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on the constitutionality of the commonwealth's Marriage Amendment, which 57 percent of Virginians ratified into the state constitution in 2006:
RICHMOND–The Family Foundation today expressed hope regarding the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals arguments in an appeal to a lower court ruling that struck down Virginia's marriage amendment.
"We hope the judges make their decision based on the facts presented that marriage between a man and a woman is proven to be an institution that benefits society in a way that no other relationship does," said Victoria Cobb, President of The Family Foundation of Virginia. "Marriage is society's least restrictive means to ensure the well-being of children, while respecting everyone's liberty to form their own relationships and that our laws shouldn't intentionally deny children either a mom or a dad. Our hope is that the judges won't disenfranchise the 1.3 million Virginians who legally voted to amend our constitution."
Hundreds of Virginians stood outside the Courthouse and at the state Capitol to show their support for natural marriage. Rally speakers included Brian Brown of the National Organization for Marriage, Josh Dugger of the Family Research Council Action, Eric Teetsel of the Manhattan Declaration, Dean Nelson of the Frederick Douglas Foundation, Jeff Caruso of the Virginia Catholic Conference, and Victoria Cobb of The Family Foundation.
Of Retirements and Vetoes
Of Retirements and Vetoes
Wednesday's one-day "Veto Session" at the General Assembly proved to go largely as expected, primarily along party lines, with the Governor's legacy cemented as the most obstructionist executive in the history of the Commonwealth.
Since ascending to office four years ago, Governor Terry McAuliffe has vetoed a record 111 bills – with none being overridden by the legislature. A two-thirds majority of those present for the votes is necessary to override a veto, and with no Democrat courageous enough to go against the hysterical "progressive" base that demands nothing less than absolute devotion to its dogmas, overrides were impossible.
With the Governor's vetoes of many common-sense bills, several of which protected life, rights of conscience, and parental authority, there was plenty for state legislators to consider as they voted. But the day began with the shocking retirement of 24 year House veteran and chairman of the House Courts of Justice committee, Republican Dave Albo. This came on top of the recently announced retirements of Richmond area Republican Delegates Jimmie Massie and Peter Farrell. With the retirement of Speaker of the House Bill Howell already announced, it's clear the House of Delegates will take on an entirely new flavor next year. We appreciate all the work of Delegates Howell, Albo, Massie and Farrell, with whom we have worked on many issues over the years. They will all be missed.
After nearly two hours of farewell speeches, the House finally got down to business and began the process of reviewing the Governor's vetoes and dozens of amendments to bills, including the state budget. The Senate methodically worked through its bills dealing with the Governor's actions as well.
The good news was the House once again rejected the Governor's repeated effort to expand Medicaid under the failed Obama "Care" government health insurance scheme.
No vote to override a veto showed the left's dogmatic adherence more than the failure to override the veto on HB 2191, a bill from Delegate Steve Landes giving parents a say when schools want to teach sexually explicit material to kids. When the bill passed the House in February it received 74 votes, meaning several Democrats voted yea. But today, they fell in line with their party and voted with the Governor.
Also in the House, the veto of Delegate Nick Freitas's HB 2025, which would protect religious charities and schools from government discrimination because of their beliefs about marriage, wasn't challenged with a vote. However, Delegate Freitas correctly pointed out that in the Governor's own reasoning for vetoing the bill, he made the argument that religious charities are protected by the first amendment and statute for religious freedom – which means the Governor essentially argued why his own Executive Order discriminating against religious charities is unconstitutional! Remarkably, the Governor's explanation says, "I veto House Bill 2025, which would shield from civil liability those who actively discriminate against same-sex couples. I vetoed this exact same bill last year, and my rationale for that veto remains the same." Except we amended the bill this year to remove the civil liability part, which means, of course, it isn't the "exact same bill", but apparently neither the Governor nor his staff actually read the bill! You just can't make this stuff up.
Regardless, even though the House and Senate could not garner the votes necessary to overcome the Governor's vetoes, our message was heard clearly in the General Assembly yesterday. And credit where credit is due, despite secular leftist and media hysteria on these bills, for the most part Republicans in the General Assembly stood their ground and voted correctly.
The frustrations over the Governor's vetoes of common sense legislation that protects religious charities, unborn life, taxpayers and parents' rights must now be translated into action. The next Governor of the Commonwealth will either carry on the obstructionist tradition or be a conservative leader who will side with a majority of Virginians and sign these key bills.
Which Governor that is will be up to you.
Rare Bipartisan Victory
Rare Bipartisan Victory
During a General Assembly session, The Family Foundation takes a position on over 100 pieces of legislation. We try to keep you informed on as many as we can, but often we will work on proposals that never get the attention they deserve.
Case in point is a bill that thankfully on Monday Governor Terry McAuliffe signed into law.
The proposal, HB 1709, requires schools notify parents if their child is involved in an incident of alleged bullying within five school days. Patroned by Delegate Eileen Filler-Corn (D-41, Springfield), the bill was amended during the process to give schools fourteen school days – or almost three full weeks – before having to involved parents. Let's face it, Amazon can deliver packages to third world countries faster than that! We believe parents are the key to their children thriving and that parents should be informed, notified and included as soon as possible when their children are suffering from or being accused of bullying. Three weeks is far too long.
And while the education establishment always claims it wants to involve parents, they allege it's just too hard or too expensive to quickly pick up a phone and call a parent. We disagree.
Virginia's definition of bullying is such that it requires very serious, repeated acts. Bullying is a serious problem, and parents should be involved as soon as possible if their child is a victim. And, if their child is suspected of bullying, they should know they are being investigated by the school.
The bill ended up in a "conference committee" on the very last days of session, where a handful of negotiators from the House and Senate worked out the final five-day time period. We're thankful to Delegate Filler-Corn for working with us on this important issue, and for those conferees for seeing the wisdom of involving parents.

Earlier this morning, Hillary Clinton's top cheerleader went live on air with WTOP radio to veto bills (SB 2314/HB 2025) that would have provided modest protections for pastors, churches, and peaceful religious organizations and schools by prohibiting the state from discriminating against them because of their religious or moral beliefs about marriage.
The vast majority of Virginians, nearly two-thirds according to polling by Mason-Dixon, believe that, at a minimum, religious entities should be able to hold traditional beliefs about the institution of marriage without facing retribution from the government. But once again, Governor McAuliffe sided with the radical LGBT lobby and the ACLU in claiming that protecting the faiths of countless churches, religious schools and religious organizations amounts to discrimination and even going so far as to say it equates to "demonizing people", according to his official statement. The Governor, of course, is all too comfortable with demonizing anyone who happens to disagree with him!
In reality, these bills would have ensured that a religious charity couldn't be denied equal access to state benefits because of its belief in traditional marriage – something the Governor is trying to do through his Executive Order 61 – and that Virginia students who attend Christian universities or colleges like Liberty, Regent or Patrick Henry wouldn't be denied access to Virginia's Tuition Assistance Grants because those schools have policies based on marriage between one man and one woman.
His vetoes were a record 90th and 91st of his term, but sadly, he wasn't done. This afternoon, he announced the veto of several bills that would have advanced parental rights and provided more educational opportunities for Virginia families.
The Governor proudly vetoed HB 2191, which simply would have provided parents of public school students an opportunity to review and opt their child out of materials they find sexually inappropriate. You may remember that a similar bill met with fierce opposition last year from the education cabal in Richmond as well as the secular "progressive) left. This year, Delegate Steve Landes (R-25, Verona) narrowed the bill to define "sexually explicit" simply as things that are currently against the law under the criminal sexual assault statute, but that still wasn't good enough for the Governor.
In addition, he vetoed bills which would create a full-time public virtual school option for up to 5,000 new students in Virginia, allowing them to choose, with no tuition, from over a dozen approved education providers. He also vetoed two bills that would allow two or three school districts to band together to form a regional charter school district where each district would have to have at least 3,000 enrolled students and at least one school that failed to be accredited for at least two of the previous three years.
The Governor once again sided with the antiquated, failing, one-size-fits-all education establishment against families and children who want more options and the freedom to choose the school that best fits their needs.
The reality: elections have consequences. Virginians have the opportunity to correct the McAuliffe error later this year. Advancing the values we cherish, like religious freedom, life and education freedom require a governor who not only shares our values but has the courage to fight for them. Four years of Terry McAuliffe's contempt for the beliefs of a majority of Virginians are enough.
McAuliffe's Economy
McAuliffe's Economy
This week our salesman-in-chief Governor Terry McAuliffe touted that Virginia was once again named a Top 10 state for business by Site Selection magazine, coming in at number six. This is apparently a good thing, even prestigious. Given that Virginia had been dropping like a rock in nearly every similar business ranking since he took office, it's not surprising the Governor's press office tried to make a big deal out of this one.
In his press release, the Governor said, "We are working every day to build a new Virginia economy that works for everyone, and moving back into the top 10 in Site Selection's prestigious Prosperity Cup ranking is evidence that those efforts are paying off."
Pretty boiler plate stuff.
What was interesting, however, was what wasn't mentioned in the Governor's press release, given that in nearly every speech he's made he's been sure to mention how terrible things are in our neighbor state to the south, North Carolina, because its legislature dared attempt to protect the privacy of women and children in public restrooms. He's demeaned and demonized the Tar Heel state, and ridiculed efforts to protect women and children here in Virginia. He's attacked efforts to defend religious liberty while he's also made sure his efforts to increase the number of abortions in Virginia has been front and center in his messaging about making Virginia more "open" for the kinds of businesses that care about such things. Yet in this press release, not a peep.
At least until you look at the actual Site Selection rankings and low and behold what state do you find at the top of the list? Well, it ain't Terry McAuliffe's Virginia.
You guessed it, the top state in the nation for business according to Site Selection would be North Carolina.
Amazingly, despite the media-driven, leftist hysteria generated by the now famous HB 2, businesses are still moving to North Carolina, apparently at a higher rate than the Old Dominion. Perhaps public policies like low tax rates actually do matter to intelligent business owners despite state Senator Dick Saslaw's remarkable claim made during session that he didn't know of a single business that ever made a decision about where to locate based on the tax rate.
Umm, okay.
Anyway, if we've learned anything from the HB 2 debacle it is this: the narrative wins out over reality every single time. Reality tells us that North Carolina is doing just fine, better even than Virginia. But my guess is that if you asked most lawmakers or your average citizen they'd be convinced otherwise.

Send a Message to Warner and Kaine!
U.S. Senator Tim Kaine announced he plans to oppose confirming Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court to fill the late Justice Antonin Scalia's vacant seat. Likewise, Virginia's other Senator, Mark Warner, issued a statement earlier this week that he also plans to oppose Gorsuch's confirmation.
Both cite Gorsuch's refusal to claim support for abortion "rights" as their reason for opposing this highly qualified jurist – and notably – one for whom members of their party unanimously confirmed to join the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in 2006.
CLICK HERE to urge Senators Kaine and Warner to do the sensible thing, and confirm Judge Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court!
According to Kaine, "After meeting with Judge Gorsuch and reviewing his testimony and past decisions, I've observed that he has repeatedly taken an activist approach to cases involving a woman's right to make her own decisions about her health." Presumably, Sen. Kaine is referencing Gorsuch's majority opinion in the Hobby Lobbycase (which was soon after affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court) where the courts held that Hobby Lobby had the right, consistent with its religious liberty, to provide health insurance to its employees that excluded coverage for abortion-inducing drugs.
Sen. Warner said, "Despite his impressive academic credentials, Judge Gorsuch's record and evasive responses – even refusing to answer questions regarding his views of cases like Roe v. Wade and Citizens United – do not give me confidence that he possesses a judicial philosophy that will serve the American public well."
Virginia Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine portray themselves as "moderates," with the help of a friendly media. But their voting records and rhetoric have become more and more out of touch as their party lurches to the extreme left. Now, both are taking their cues from Planned Parenthood and the ACLU by opposing Gorsuch.
Both Senators need to hear from real Virginians like you that their vote against Gorsuch is a vote against Virginia. It's a vote against the Constitution. It's a vote against freedom.
Contact both Senators now and urge them to confirm Neil Gorsuch for the Court!

Family Foundation Announces Impending Legal Action
- McAuliffe Administration Notified Today -
RICHMOND–The Family Foundation of Virginia today announced that the administration of Governor Terry McAuliffe has been notified of impending legal action regarding violations of state law by the Department and Board of Health during the abortion center health and safety standards regulatory process.
"Over and over again during the nearly three-year process of amending the standards, the administration and Board violated the Administrative Process Act, the state law that provides the framework for regulatory action, the administrative code, and the Governor's own Executive Order 17 regarding the regulatory review process," said Victoria Cobb, President of The Family Foundation. "Regardless of one's belief about the need for basic health and safety standards for abortion centers – or of any regulation for that matter – we all have to agree that a regulatory body cannot act outside the law when it wields extraordinary power over business, commerce and health care. We have the Administrative Process Act for that reason, to provide legal boundaries and process for unelected regulatory bodies, to provide transparency and public input throughout the regulatory process, and to be able to hold these agencies accountable when they go beyond the scope of their authority."
Details of the administrative appeal were not released, but will be made available when the action is filed in Henrico Circuit Court within the next thirty days. The Family Foundation is paying the legal fees for one appellant in the appeal, Itzel Melendez, from Richmond. At a Richmond press conference today, Mrs. Melendez said, "In the past, I had occasion to visit an abortion center for the purpose of obtaining an abortion. I am participating in this case because I am concerned that without basic health and safety standards, abortion centers will operate in a way that could put my health at risk if I ever decided in the future that I needed their services. The standards that were in place were there to protect women like me from harm. Without them, I am no longer confident that my health would be protected."
Cobb did reference one of the examples of where the pro-family organization believes the administration broke the law. She stated, "The agency violated the Administrative Process Act by amending entirely separate and unrelated regulatory sections that had not been included in the regulations' "Proposed" phase. Several regulatory sections amended by the Board were not included in the "Proposed Regulation Agency Background Document" posted in townhall.gov, and these regulatory sections dealt with matters the public did not have an opportunity to comment on in accordance with the requirements of the law.
"In addition, several regulatory sections the Board amended were not even in the agency's "Final Regulation Agency Background Document" posted in townhall.gov, let alone its "Proposed Regulation Agency Background Document". The Code of Virginia requires that the notice requirement contain "(i) a statement of the date, time and place of the hearing at which the regulation is to be considered; (ii) a brief statement as to the regulation under consideration; [and] (iii) reference to the legal authority of the agency to act; …." Yet, that never occurred for all of the regulatory topics for the sections that were not included in the agency's "Proposed" regulations. This is an important matter of transparency – providing to the public a clear list what areas of regulation are intended to be reviewed and amended. The public and the entities being regulated should know from the beginning what areas of regulation the agency intends to change. By avoiding disclosing all the areas the Department and Board intended to amend they violated both the letter and spirit of the law.
"In this case, the Department and Board initially indicated they would review and amend only six areas of the regulations, and instead ended up changing more than 20. The public had no ability to weigh in on these changes until after the Board had already voted."
Cobb said, "There is a specific, detailed, and yes sometimes cumbersome regulatory process that, whether we like it or not, is the law of Virginia. Without a framework, and without criteria and accountability for regulatory agencies, one can only imagine the damage that could be done in any arena by regulatory bodies."
"The Family Foundation fully supports the actions taken by these appellants," added Cobb. "It is unfortunate that the McAuliffe administration has in its ideological zeal consistently ignored or violated state law throughout this process, but it must be held accountable for those actions. The regulatory process has rules that must be followed. Again, this appeal is about that legal process and this administration's ignorance of or disdain for that process."
Appellants in the case who appeared at today's press conference were Virginia Board of Health members Megan Getter and Henry Kuhlman, and Itzel Melendez of Richmond. The attorney representing Mrs. Melendez is Dan Carrell of Carrell, Blanton Ferris and Associates, Richmond.

Mars Hill, N.C. – The Brevard College men's football team traveled just 50 miles northwest on Saturday afternoon, as Coach Hamilton's squad gave the Mars Hill Lions all that they could handle before ultimately falling 28-14 at Meares Stadium.
The loss drops the Tornados to 1-6 and 0-4 in the SAC, while Mars Hill improved to 5-3 overall and 2-2 in the conference.
The Tornados shocked the Lions on their opening offensive possession, as sophomore quarterback Trey Wilborn helped guide the BC offense down the field, 66-yards on five-plays, which was capped off by a 1-yard touchdown run by senior running back John Taylor. After sophomore kicker Chase Henry made good on the PAT, the Tornados had quieted the Meares Stadium by going up 7-0 with only 2:29 ticked off the clock.
Yet the Lions answered on their opening offensive series as quarterback Ricky Spradling connected with running back George Stripling at of the backfield on an 18-yard touchdown pass, which topped off an 11-play, 63-yard drive. The extra point attempt would fail as the holder miss handled the snap, leaving the Tornados ahead by one at 7-6.
The Lions would find the end zone again midway through the second quarter, as tailback George Washington scored on a 5-yard touchdown off the right-side of the offensive line to give Mars Hill their first lead of the game at 13-7.
The two-teams would go scoreless for the remaining 13:40 to play in the first half, with each team's offense unable to move the ball both effectively and efficiently for most of the quarter, leaving the score at 13-7 at intermission.
In the third quarter, the Tornados scored first, as junior Matthew Gaines, who played at the slot back position for the game, took a pitch from Wilborn on an option play from 4-yards out and ran into the end zone to put the Tornados back on top at 14-13 with 6:35 to play in the third quarter.
Yet Mars Hill again had an answer, as the Lions drove down the field on their next offensive series, as Washington scored on a 22-yard draw play up the middle to put the Lions back on top 19-14. Mars Hill elected to go for a two-point conversion, in which Spradling hit Elroy Harris in left side of the end zone to put the Lions up by one-touchdown at 21-14.
Mars Hill added an insurance score with 8:14 remaining in the game, as wide receiver Tyrea Allen scored on an 18-yard touchdown pass from Spradling to put the Lions up for good at 28-14.
The Tornados had two more chances to score but ultimately good not get the offense going as the Mars Hill defense showed their depth down the stretch to force the Tornados to punt and turnover the ball on downs in their final two possessions.
Brevard had 186 total yards of offense, all of which came on the ground, as Wilborn was 0-for-4 through the air on the day. The Lions had 358 total yards, with 213 coming on the ground by way of a number of rushers.
Wilborn led the attack for BC, as he had 90 yards on 16 rushing attempts. Gaines had eight carries for 48 yards and a score, while Taylor had 13 carries for 32 rushing yards and a touchdown.
For Mars Hill, Spradling was 13-of-18 for 145 yards, two touchdowns and an interception, while also rushing six times for 38 yards. Washington led the way with 92 yards on 20 carries and two touchdowns, while Stripling had 73 yards on 12 rushing attempts. Allen had six catches for 64 yards and one touchdown.
Defensively, senior safety Joshua Durm led the Tornados with 8 total tackles, 5 of which were solo tackles. Junior linebacker Brandon Rawls had 7 total tackles, 3 solo and one sack for the game. Freshman cornerback Chase Waldo had 6 total tackles and an interception.
Safety Keadran Pinckney led the way for Mars Hill with 7 total tackles, while defensive lineman Jeff Pell had 6 tackles and one sack to go along with a forced fumble.
The Tornados will return home for their next game, as BC will play host to Carson-Newman College on Homecoming Weekend, Saturday, October 25 at 2 p.m. The Lions will play at Lenoir-Rhyne next Saturday night at 7 p.m.

|Interrupt a movement.
|virtual bool
|Seek (iSector *sector, const csVector3 &position)=0
|Move to the specified position.
Detailed Description
This is a pathfinder property class.
It works closely with pcsteer in order to move an object from one position to another using celgraph to navigate correctly through the map.
This property class can send out the following messages to the behaviour (add prefix 'cel.parameter.' to get the ID for parameters):
- pcpathfinder_interrupted: movement has been interrupted.
This property class supports the following actions (add prefix 'cel.action.' to get the ID of the action and add prefix 'cel.parameter.' to get the ID of the parameter):
- Seek: parameters 'sectorname' (string), 'position' (vector3).
- Wander: parameters 'distance' (int).
- Pursue: parameters 'target' (iCelEntity*), 'max_prediction' (float).
- FollowCyclicPath: parameters 'path' (iCelPath*).
- FollowOneWayPath: parameters 'path' (iCelPath*).
- FollowTwoWayPath: parameters 'path' (iCelPath*).
- Interrupt: interrupt the current movement.
This property class supports the following properties (add prefix 'cel.property.' to get the ID of the property:
- position (vector3, read only): current end position.
- active (bool, read only): returns true if currently tracking.
- pursue_max_prediction (float, read/write): current max prediction
- min_distance (float, read/write): current min distance to check when arriving to check points (nodes).

Member Function Documentation
|virtual void iPcPathFinder::Interrupt
[pure virtual]
Interrupt a movement.
The behaviour will get a 'pcmover_interrupted' message if the mover was really moving. Otherwise nothing happens.
Move to the specified position.
When you call this function this property class will attempt to move the linmove to the correct position. If it fails the behaviour will get a 'pcmover_stuck' message. Otherwise it will get a 'pcmover_arrived' message. If checklos parameter is true a line of sight test will be made in advance, and if this function detects that line of sight is blocked then the behaviour will get a 'pcmover_impossible' message and this function will return false then. If this property class was already controlling a movement then that movement will be interrupted (possibly giving a pcmover_interrupted message).
- Parameters:
sector is the desired sector to move to. position is the desired position to move to. sqradius if the linmove ends up within the given squared radius of the desired position the movement will stop and be considered sucessful. checklos whether to check line of sight to destination on movement start.
The documentation for this struct was generated from the following file:

I would stick to the official guides on the wiki.
I'm a new French (so my English might be poor or bad) user of Back Track 5.
I have tried to use it on an usb key made with Sardu which is a multiboot usb builder.
When i tried to use it, i had to install it to access some program and the only option i had was to install it on my HDD. But i would like to just install it on my usb key to be able to use it as a real portable OS. My key is a 16Gb. I think i can make a new partition on my key if it's necessary but i don't know how to install back track and not even if it's possible. Thanks for your response.
I would stick to the official guides on the wiki.
Back|track giving machine guns to monkeys since 2007 !
Do not read the Wiki, most your questions will not be answered there !
Do not take a look at the: Forum Rules !
Thanks a lot!
Here's a good guide with full disk encryption
Hope it helps,
Hi it's me again. I've tried to install BT5 on an usb key like explain in the wiki. First with unetbootin, but it did not work because when i tried to modified the program or the language installed for example, BT5 display lots of error on boot sequence and finally didn't boot. So i tried the second method with a virtual box and i followed all the instructions but this time, my usb key just doesn't boot. When i select it in my bios boot selection part, it just boot on Windows and not on my key. So i've re try but without modifying the syslinux.cfg file but the same problem again with my boot process. So i don't know what to do now. Thanks in advance for your answers

Australia Plans "Big Brother" Seizure of S/N, Passwords, Emails, Text Msgs

Country claims Orwellian measures are necessary to fight "white collar crime"
Steve Dalby has a big problem. As the chief regulatory officer at Australian internet service provider iiNet Ltd. (
), he
Sydney Morning Herald
that his company is struggling sustain the $3M USD a month service the government is demanding to spy on its citizens.
I. Orwellian Plan Could Cost Telecoms $3M USD a Month
Other service providers like Telstra Comp., Ltd. (
) are flat-out refusing to comply saying the government order to spy on everything from a user's Google Inc. (
) searches to storing the numbers involved in their encrypted payments via eBay, Inc.'s (
) PayPal is not only a gross invasion of privacy -- it's also likely illegal.
Security director Darren Kane told the
, "We cannot capture or provide any metadata or any content around something like Gmail because it is Google-owned, it is offshore and it is over the top of our network. The real value of what we might have in a data retention scheme would be greatly diminished as soon as the organised criminals and potential terrorists knew that we were not capturing that data."
Australia wants to "watch" its citizens' every digital communications. [Image Source: DeviantArt]
But that's precisely what the
Australian Securities and Investment Commission
(ASIC) wants access to full access to all user metadata, including usernames and passwords. It also wants to intercept and store copies of citizens' emails, social media chats, and text messages.
ASIC officials claim that handing ubiquitous spy powers to government regulators will help the ASIC fight
"white collar crime"
. But collecting the information may actually create criminal opportunity, as Telstra points out. And industry officials suggest that the plan could cost up to $400M USD to put in place, plus potentially tens, if not hundreds of millions a month to maintain a full watch over users' data.
II. U.S. Presidential Candidates are Eyeing Similar Efforts
Australia is a pretty punitive nation when it comes to internet law enforcement, having been
among the few to contemplate a "strikes" plan
to disconnect users' internet. But it's far from alone. The Obama and Bush administrations both
worked to
frameworks to allow
ubiquitous spying
. This is unlikely to change as both the current President and Republican nominee Mitt Romney have defending domestic spying.
Mr. Romney expressed a viewpoint narrowly in line with the President's plugging warrantless wiretaps in an interview, stating, "If it means we have to go into a mosque to wiretap or a church, then that's exactly where we are gonna go, because we are going to do whatever it takes to protect the American people. And I hear from time to time people say, 'Hey, wait a sec, we have civil liberties to worry about', but don't forget... the most important civil liberty I expect from my government is my right to be kept alive."
Much like Australia, the U.S. is currently considering heaping a plan to
sever "frequent" pirates' internet
on top of the growing framework of non-transparent, warrantless surveillance methods.
In both nations the big pushback is coming from interne service providers and internet software service providers like Google.

Thought I'd answer my own post (having come across multitudes with similar issues while researching a fix - okay, maybe not multitudes, but certainly hordes.
What worked for me, after completing a dual-boot HD install (vista/bt4)...
1) xorg -configure
2) dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
NOTE: Though I never received Screen configure options, only keyboard layout; when I neglected this step... no working video.
3) lspci
NOTE: Write down the bus ID and exact vendor label as listed. For example:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV42 [GeForce 6800 XT] (rev a2)
4) nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
5) There will be 3 generic listings. Edit the Device listing to reflect your configuration. In my case I added the following information:
Identifier: "nVidia Corporation NV42 [GeForce 6800 XT] (rev a2)"
Driver: "vesa"
BusId: "PCI:1:0:0"
Option: "UseFBDev" "true"
6) Save and exit
I was now be able to startx successfully. At which point I promptly downloaded the nVidia driver package and installed.
7) sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.14-pkg1.run (allow the installer to create a new xorg.conf file)
8) nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf Add modes in Screen listing to support your desired display resolution, in my case:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1152x864"
And that's it. Hopefully this may help someone also working through nVidia display issues...
Best, bez.
