2007 M Coupe "Halo" Light - Bulb Replacement
I am feeling dumb asking how to change a lightbulb, but as usual the owner's manual is useless, and I tried a seach here with limited success.
My driver's side "halo" light is out. I am sure there is a better term--the bulb that lights the circumference of the inside light nacel next to the headlight. The biggest downside is that I have to look at an orange bulb out warning on the dash, and I won't be warned if an imprtant bulb goes out.
My understanding is the that inside nacel has no headlight in it--just the halo around it. I learned here how to access the bulbs from inside the fender well (go figure), but the fixture I see that seems to line up with that nacel is a hard plastic piece that seems to need four torx screws pulled out to get it apart, and seems to have an armored wire leading to it. Seems to be way to much for the little halo light.
Am I correct tht there is no real headlight in the inside nacel? If so, how do I replace the halo bulb--and, I guess, what is it really called.
Than ks.
You actually can't replace the light by itself without some mods to the housing the bulbs sits in. It is designed to be replaced as a unit. You can actually just replace the bulb if you use a dremel to cut some slits and allow the bulb nubs to come out.
This may help(someone said the assembly does not have to modified BTW so you could try it) : http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=417609
The one thing I have not seen is instructions to get the socket out(as you asked). I have never looked at mine. I ordered 20W bulbs to try but never installed them. I am glad as I just read they will melt the socket.
Thanks--interesting what we have to go through to try to simplify BMW engineering. I think I see the assembly vs. bulb issue (when I first read your post I thought they wanted me to replace the whole headlight assembly because of a burned out 10 wat bulb!). But, now that I see what the holder looks like in Ron's photos, I need to look under the fender again. Doesn't look anythng like what I saw there.
Anybody can tell me how to get the bulb assembly out of the car?
To the top--still need help.
I know what I am looking for. I went in through the wheel well, opened the liner, then opened the gasketed cover over the lights. I can just see the back of the halo light assembly past the main headlight, and I can reach my hand in there and grab it. Just can't figure how to get the durned thing out. Twist? Unclip one side, then the other? Dynamite?
Can anyone hep me?
Bumped as I have the same issue with my 2007 3.0si on the right side and would prefer to do the work myself rather than fork over money to the dealership.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
I have learned a little more..
so let me try to walk you through this from a purely amateur's point of view.
First, it is wayyyy easier to do this if you jack (and support) the car and remove the tire.
On the fender lining, there is a "door" that gives you access to the lights from behind. There are actually 2 such doors--this is the higher one. Use a quarter or the like to turn the two thumbscrews, I think 90 degrees, that are on the outside end of the door. It then comes out by pulling two tabs on the inside end out of their slots.
Behind the door, the lights are sealed in a compartment that has a rounded, non-regular shaped metal cover. The cover is held on by a spring wire bail that extends from the upper outside to lower inside, slidig over center on two notches on the back of the cover. Put a common screwdriver under the bail, lift it away from the cap and down at each notch, then it rotates down mostly below the cover.
Then you have to maneuver the cover out of place. Takes lots of tries, but again much easier if the tire is gone. Pay attention to how you twisted it to get it out--you have to put it back.
Once the cover is off, the main thing in there is the headlight. But inside of the headlight, maybe just slightly higher than center, and with the back of it maybe 2" closer to the front of the car than the headlight, is the black plastic holderfor the halo light.
This is what stymied me the first time. I could see it, I could snake my hand on to it, no way I could figure how to get it out. Finally, with the tire gone, I could see two small torx headed (maybe #15) screws, one either side of the black plastic holder. I removed them with great fear thay would drop and be lost, but looking at the bracket where it sits next to my computer, I saw that it has arrows suggesting it can be rotated to "open" and "close."
I guess that two "wings" that are part of the structure of the holder slide under one edge of the head of the screws--can't see it, but the wings must have a slight incline so they add pressure as you twist. I have no idea whether this all should work w/o ever touching the screws, but I would guess so.
Per the arrows on the holder, clockwise is close and counterclockwise is open.
It was too late and I was too impatient when I tried to drill out slots either side of the bulb to actually pull the bulb out of the holder and replace only the bulb.In retrospect, I can see that the idea should be to destroy the bulb, breaking the glass and twisting the base to fold it in on itself to pull it out. With the bulb out of the holder, it is very obvious where you need to grind or file notches on the holder to put in a new bulb. The holder has the classic slot to push the bulb down, then twist slightly into place. Just has no place to slide the two little lugs past the plastic opening at the top.
Hope this helps. Call if you want to talk. 954-249-3246
Thanks so much for taking the time to explain the procedure. Nobody has done this before and I am sure this will be invaluable as many more halo bulbs will be going out over the next couple of years. I just wish we could put LED bulbs in without a light out warning coming on.
Does this picture help at all? It's a Xenon headlight off of my 2008 when I had to replace it.
This is most helpful. Thanks so much for taking the time to explain this in a clear fashion. I don't know why this is so over-engineered that one can't simply pop the bulb out and replace it, but this gives a pretty good idea of how to get the job done. :thumbup:
This became such a frusrating project for me that, when I finally got the holder out, I just ordered two new assemblies (both burned out) on line when I couldn't easily get the bulb out. Looking at it now, wish I had been a little more patient as i could have ordered 2 $6.00 bulbs instead of 2 $32 assemblies.
By the way, the rear turn signal bulb is what they call a Phillips Silverline or silver-something. Idea is that, sitting in a polished unit with a clear lense, you don't see the orange color through the lense during the day but it lights up orange. I would guess originally invented for the rice-boys and their "clear corners." But a regualr orange bulb for that same application is $7.50/pair at Advanced Auto Parts, Silverline is $21.00/pair on line (plus shipping) or $34.00 each at the dealer. Another over-engineered deal!
Pardon the bump, but this thread is a great resource. For my 2008 Z4 Coupe (si), Autozone quoted me $175.00 per bulb, so is that for the complete assembly? I don't really want to break out the dremel tool for this job, so what do I order? My passenger side headlight only has a weak orange glow at this point, no high or low beam.
I got a replacement from BMW for 35 bucks. The whole assembly not just the bulb.

After months of heavy lobbying, Gov. Gary Herbert on Wednesday announced the six individuals he has selected to help decide whether the state should move the Utah State Prison to a new location an estimated half-billion dollar project that could free up hundreds of acres for development along Utah's urban corridor.
The governor's pick for the Prison Relocation and Development Authority board (PRADA) includes an urban county mayor, a rural county commissioner, a judge and individuals with expertise in real estate, employment and rehabilitation programs. The board must hold its first meeting no later than June 15 as required by SB72, approved during the 2013 session.
"This is a diverse and independent group of well-qualified Utahns who will help ensure that any proposal to move the prison is examined thoroughly and is in the best interest of Utah and the taxpayer," Herbert said. "At the end of the day, these capable people, based on their expertise, will decide whether to recommend a proposal, or a combination of proposals, for a new prison. I look forward to their work being completed and their recommendation."
The appointees to the 11-member board are:
• Lane Summerhays, board chairman of Advantage Workers Compensation Insurance Company. Summerhays also serves on the boards of the Workers Compensation Fund, Continental Bank, Changing the Odds Founding Council of the United Way and Capitol Campaign Guadalupe School.
• S. Camille Anthony, associate director of the Office of Special Projects for the Center for Homeland Defense & Security. Anthony is a pro tempore member of the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole and chairwoman of the Utah Substance Abuse Advisory Council.
• Dave Luna, president of Mortgage Educators and Compliance. He is a founder of Honoring Heroes Foundation, a former commissioner for the Utah Division of Real Estate and past chairman of the Hispanic Advisory Council.
• Judith Atherton, 3rd District judge and member of the Utah Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice.
• Ben McAdams, Salt Lake County mayor.
• Leland Pollock, a Garfield County Commissioner.
The governor's appointees will join the following legislators: Sens. Steve Urquhart, R-St. George, and Jerry Stevenson, R-Layton; and Reps. Eric Hutchings, R-Kearns, and Brad Wilson, R-Kaysville. Legislative leaders failed to heed requests from Democrats for representation on the board.
Draper, home to the Utah State Prison, will appoint a representative to fill the final seat on the board.
SB72, sponsored by Sen. Scott Jenkins, R-Plain City, charged the newly constituted board with doing preliminary studies and seeking proposals to move the prison and redevelop the 690 acres it has occupied at the Point of the Mountain since the 1950s. The Utah Legislature must approve any recommendations the board makes.
Last year, PRADA's previous members decided that depressed construction costs, low loan rates, savings possible with a modern prison and high interest in the current prison site made the relocation project feasible and timely. Three counties have expressed interest in being home to a new prison, while counties that currently contract to house state inmates say greater use of jails could reduce the size and cost of a new prison facility.
McAdams publicly lobbied for a seat on the board earlier this year during a keynote speech at a League of Women Voters luncheon, noting the board's decision would have a "lasting impact" on the state's largest county and its taxpayers. On Wednesday, McAdams the only elected Democrat on the board again pledged to act as a "watchdog" to ensure the board's decisions are based on facts and data, rather than private interests, and that the process is transparent.
Pollock, who also serves as chairman of the Utah Association of Counties' jail committee, has touted greater reliance on counties as a way to reduce state prison costs.
"I think we can do this in a positive manner and, number one, a cost-effective manner," Pollock said.

Dwyane Wade saves the damage for late, Miami knocks off the Chicago Bulls in Game 5
Dwyane Wade may have entered the league less than a decade ago, and his youthful indiscretions may still making national news, but the man has been around for long enough to know how to drag a team to victory. The Miami Heat star worked his 158th playoff contest in Wednesday night's Game 5, against a Chicago Bulls team he grew up rooting for. And despite a debilitating knee injury that forced him to hit the locker room to "re-adjust" (read: manually move his right kneecap back into place) during the third quarter, he still had enough to put his Heat over the top, and knock off the Bulls on Miami's way to its fifth Eastern Conference final in the last nine years.
Wade dunked once in that pivotal fourth quarter, but the biggest damage he did to Chicago's attack came by way of a loping, veteran style of misdirection movement, setting the Bulls' defenders off course while raised for either in-between drives or long jumpers. Game 5 didn't provide Wade the finest box score of his playoff career, but the setting and the stumbling blocks were enough to remind Heat fans of what a special player they've had the pleasure to have known since 2003.
Chicago's fans, you can make damn sure, feel the same way about this particular batch of specialChicago Bulls. Just two nights after been blown out in an embarrassing 65-point showing at home in Game 4, the Bulls responded by falling behind quickly to the Heat by a 22-4 score. And yet it wasn't just this initial obstacle that could have forced the Bulls into giving into a blowout loss to end their season, as there were other potentially enervating factors involved.
Combined with the Game 4 tally, the Bulls were outscored by a 110-69 margin over the series' last 55 minutes by that point, all with Derrick Rose and Kirk Hinrich looking on from the team's bench, and Luol Deng watching from home as he recovered from a spinal tap. Instead of fading away, the Bulls did their city proud by somehow embarking on a 49-25 run against a Heat team that truly was not taking plays off. Chicago's offensively-lacking roster nearly doubling up a Detroit Pistons team in March was quite the effort, and yet against the defending champs the Bulls' quick ball and player movement on offense and by-this-time-instinctual continued discussion and care on defense allowed the team to make yet another game out of what should have been something much more embarrassing.
Jimmy Butler, for the fifth time in a remarkable postseason, played the entire 48 minutes in the loss. Nate Robinson shook off a 0-16 shooting run that carried over from the team's Game 4 debacle to warm up and leave every observer shaking their head once again – finishing the night with 21 points on just 15 shots. Richard Hamilton came out of nowhere to provide the sort indefatigable game opponents grew to learn and hate during his heyday with the Detroit Pistons, providing 15 points off the bench. And Carlos Boozer, who has received an unending daily (and sometimes deserved) delivery of disrespect by both obsessed and fair weather Bulls fans over the last three years, came through in the comeback with 26 points and 14 rebounds.
Self-aware Bulls fans that lived through Michael Jordan's time with the team know what it's like to have more than enough, and that was what the defending champions had on Wednesday. LeBron James, hounded by Jimmy Butler's right arm all night, missed nine of 14 shots but earned 15 trips to the free throw line. Shane Battier shook off a big miss of a series before hitting two crucial three-pointers in the second half. Norris Cole was clearly perturbed by a frustrating third quarter, and yet his derring-do returned to form in the fourth quarter as the Heat made their comeback from 11 points down.
All while Wade, perhaps on his way to a third NBA title, surveyed the spots. Picking the places where he could use the back and forth dribble that he developed in Chicago's south side, using the veteran know-how that both allows for him to somehow move a bruised kneecap back into a more functional place during timeouts, and lead his team to victory over a Bulls team he once cheered for.
It's that Chicago memory. It's long and it's stubborn and it's silly and annoying and you don't have to like it, but it takes quite a bit to destroy. This remarkable Chicago Bulls team had it in long supply, during 2012-13. Dwyane Wade just needed about 12 or 13 minutes, partially spent in the locker room while re-adjusting his leg, to put it to use at the best possible time. This year's Bulls team couldn't lose to a more appropriate player.

Fans Welcome Flames Back to Campus
The Liberty men's basketball team returned to campus Wednesday afternoon, where they were greeted by fans and students showing support for the Flames' recent run to the NCAA Tournament.
In addition to the gathering, over 2,000 students assembled inside the Vines Center, last night, to watch Liberty's NCAA First Four matchup with North Carolina A&T. With a chance at the game-winning shot, the Flames nearly advanced to the second round, but a defensive stop by the Aggies led to the narrow 73-72 decision.
Liberty concludes its season with a 15-21 overall record after receiving national media attention for its incredible postseason run to secure its third NCAA Tournament appearance.

BREVARD, N.C.- Brevard College volleyball coach Kelly Burdeau is pleased to announce that Erin Barr, Kathryn Beasley and Hannah Elmore have signed their National Letters of Intent to play volleyball for the Tornados next season.
"We are excited to announce these first three outstanding student-athletes as part of our freshman class," stated head coach Kelly Burdeau. "Kathryn, Hannah, and Erin are very talented and will play a major role in our success over the next four years."
Barr, a 5'6" setter, led Starmount High School to North Carolina 1A State Championships in 2010 and 2013. Barr was named the MVP of the State Championship match in 2013. The Hamptonville, N.C. native was the Rams Player of the Year as a senior and a four-time All-Conference selection.
Off the court, Barr was a member of the National Honor Society and the National Beta Club.
"Erin will bring maturity, experience, and knowledge of the game," said Burdeau. "She is coachable, respectful, and coming off an impressive senior season that will only prepare her more to positively impact our team. She is always working and competing. Her impact on our program is going to be immediate."
Beasley will join Brevard as an outside hitter from Mount Airy High School in Mount Airy, N.C., where she was named the Bears Team MVP all four seasons. Beasley was also a two-time All-Conference selection, and a standout in both basketball and track.
In the classroom, Beasley excelled as a three-time Honor Roll student.
"Kathryn is an exceptional athlete and elite jumper," said Burdeau. She, as a result of her tremendous work ethic, will have the ability to contribute early in her career. She brings a desire and passion of the game to the court along with her talent. She is the type of person that will be a great representative of Brevard College."
Elmore, a six-foot outside hitter, lettered in volleyball for four seasons at Carson High School and garnered All-County and All-Conference selections. Elmore led the Cougars to North Carolina 3A Western Regional Championships and State Runner-ups in 2012 and 2013.
Elmore was also a four-year Honor Roll student, a member of the National Honor Society and High School Leadership Team.
"Hannah is a very competitive kid and has a ton of personality," added Burdeau. "Her drive, enthusiasm and leadership will be great additions to the program. She has a good arm swing and can hit a variety of shots. She is going to provide a big presence at the net. She is driven both on and off the court."

Christmas in WWII
December 5th, 2012
It's that "most wonderful time of the year" again, and for me and many of us, the holidays wouldn't be complete without the lights, the decorations, the presents, and (especially) the food! It's a time of over-indulgence and celebrations with family and friends, but the abundance we enjoy today was not always so. During World War II, with the war effort in full swing, rationing severely limited many things we now take for granted. Although this created some hardship, it was a small sacrifice that most were honored to make if it helped keep their loved ones safe and sound. Still today, many of us are separated from our loved ones and may be struggling to make do with less.
Nothing evokes the feeling of Christmas like the music; the songs conjure up memories of Christmases past and how we celebrated with family and friends. Even now I find myself humming "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby. Recorded during World War II, the melancholy lyrics of "White Christmas" and "I'll Be Home for Christmas," with their comforting images of home and yearning for family, touched the hearts of American civilians and soldiers alike.
Join us Tuesday, December 11 at 6:30pm at the North East Branch Library. In a period uniform, accompanied by holiday music of the era, she will be sharing images of Christmas during World War II, both at home and in military settings. She will describe the decorations and how food was prepared, and will explain shortages and rationing and how that affected daily life. Take a step back in time with us, to hear about Christmas memories from those days.
What are your favorite holiday traditions and memories?

Ancient Egyptians, Eurorail passengers, sailors, and children all understand the value of bunk beds. These stackable berths allow multiple people to sleep in a small area. They also can ignite imaginary undertakings and harbor secret hideaways. Cape Cod, Mass.–based architect Mark Hutker advises keeping four important design details in mind for all bunk designs. "You need at least 3.5 feet of head space for sitting up," he says. "Also, some sort of railing detail for enclosure and a solid, comfortable ladder or the top bunk will never get used." Hutker adds that "privacy is also key, especially as the kids get older or if you want to house adults."
French Connections
This ski apartment in Les Ménuires, France, is not quite 600 square feet, but it comfortably sleeps eight people who share twin baths, a kitchen, and two walls of Alpine views. Paris-based H2O Architects presented the clients with an innovative idea about how to live large within the compact footprint. Homeowners and guests sleep, bathe, and cook all within an expansive built-in made from birch and walnut plywood that curves around the inside walls. Asymmetrical cutouts provide storage and are placed to make unpacking and getting into beds feel like climbing a mountain, according to the firm. Architect Antoine Santiard adds that he and his two partners inverted their way of looking at space: "Rather than trying to fit the furniture into the apartment, we decided to fit the apartment into the furniture."
Mountain High
Reclaimed barn wood milled into sturdy planks and beams supports these four bunks. Plaster walls and heavy wool curtains enhance the rustic look. Thick walls allow for deep window sills and recessed book ledges so each occupant has space for refreshments and reading material. Richly hued blankets and rugs are the only clue that this is the girls' half of twin bunk rooms in a mountain retreat near Lake Tahoe, Calif. Large drawers beneath the beds and built-in dressers means everything can be put in its place. Interior designer Sally Ward created the rugged look, but imbued it with her usual restraint so the space remains uncluttered and airy.
Ship Shape
The guest bedroom that Hutker envisioned for this Martha's Vineyard vacation house is inspired by the boats docked just outside the window. Pale cream board- and-batten encloses floor-to-ceiling bunks with unlacquered brass portals for peeking out. Subtle details such as high-gloss paint, industrial light fixtures, and a rug that mimics ship's decking complete the nautical touches. Murphy beds flank the bunks to allow for myriad sleeping configurations. Hutker gives clients a finishing touch for each notoriously hard-to-make bunk bed. "My wife, Carla, invented what we call the taco," he chuckles. "It's a flat king-size sheet that's sewn along the fold so homeowners can leave the fitted sheet on between guests and just wash the taco."

Marlon Wayans wrings every last down-and-dirty giggle out of a single joke in "A Haunted House," his return to "Scary Movie" territory, in truth if not by contract.
He's no longer involved in that series, so he limited himself to making fun not of every modern "scary" movie, but just the "Paranormal Activity" series. And for 86 rude and raunchy minutes, he does his best to drive a comical stake through the heart of horror's hottest franchise and the "found footage" genre.
It's a "what if ghosts visited a randy black couple in the suburbs" take on "Paranormal," covering much of the same territory as the movies that inspired it - consulting a Ouija board and a gay psychic, wiring the tract house with cameras to catch images of the things that go bump in the night, and the couple (Wayans and Essence Atkins) who go bump in the bedroom.
And the "flava"? That's when Malcolm (Wayans) calls in his thug cousin to deal with the "demon" that moved in at the same time Kisha (Atkins) did.
The thug's name is Ray-Ray (Affion Crockett, funny). Naturally, he's overmatched.
"Cuz, where's your furniture?" Ray-Ray wants to know, before it all tumbles from the ceiling on him and his homies. Yeah, you saw that in the TV commercials and trailers.
Cedric the Entertainer is a foul-mouthed priest who figures it would be easier to find a new girlfriend than to exorcise Kisha. Nick Swardson has "psychic powers, all over my body," and is more interested in Malcolm's body than chasing demons.
Wayans probably hasn't matured beyond snickering every time he said director Michael Tiddes' name aloud on the set. He's aged out of his manic years, but he hurls himself at the nudity, the simulated sex and whatnot. The night Kisha moves in, Malcolm vigorously practices, on camera, every sexual thing he wants to do with her with his collection of teddy bears. But Wayans hasn't given himself much that's new to play around with, protesting that "checking out" that noise downstairs "is what white people do," insisting that people of his race "run" (and shout instructions to the character about to "check out that noise" on the screen).
Taking flatulence gags to new levels and euphemisms for both characters being sexually violated by the ghost - "Touched by an Angel" and "Altar Boyed" - have an amusing shock value.
The funniest bit is Kisha's all-night sleepwalking dance routine. The rest of "A Haunted House" you've pretty much seen if you watched the television ads.
A Haunted HouseR: crude and sexual content, language, some drug use.
Starring: Marlon Wayans, Essence Atkins, Cedric the Entertainer, Nick Swardson.
Director: Michael Tiddes.
Running time: 1 hr. 26 min.
Playing: Areawide.
In a nutshell: Rude and raunchy.

New England Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount agreed to restructure his contract when joining the team via trade last month. The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers back agreed to cut $1.07 million from his base salary. Blount only appeared on 92 offensive snaps last season, limiting him to just 41 carries for 151 yards and two scores. Blount is currently third, or possibly fourth, on the depth chart behind Stevan Ridley , Shane Vereen and possibly Leon Washington .
Fantasy Analysis:
The Pats have a number of capable runners. Blount's immediate impact is unclear though. He figures to be a short-yardage back and may poach the occasional goal-line opportunity. The Pats also have Brandon Bolden on the roster at a very cheap rate and he proved to be a good commodity while healthy and out of trouble. There are a lot of new toys at the disposal of Tom Brady and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels.

Dumbledore does not say it is a figment of Harry's imagination, he says it is all inside his head. A figment of one's imagination implies that it was merely a mirage and did not actually happen. Being inside one's head, however, implies that it could be very real. After all, we only know things through our own perspective; there is nothing to contradict that everything we experience isn't just inside our head. Dumbledore also could have been implying that our thoughts are very real and tangible things that should not merely be written off as mirages just because they go on in our minds. However, I'm not sure how likely this second explanation is because J.K. Rowling makes a point of saying Harry could touch Dumbledore. Victoria
Do Gringott's goblins not care that Sirius broke out of prison, otherwise how else would he have been able to draw gold from his account without signing his name?
I've wondered this too. For starters though, I don't believe Gringotts asks for a signature if you are accessing your own account. They ask for other proof such as a wand or key. I could be wrong though. There are many ways that this could be explained. For one, nonhuman creatures with intelligence comparable to humans (ie goblins and centaurs) often state that they do not recognize a wizarding master. Therefore, they may have cared less for his status with the wizards than the fact that he was part of a family with vast sums of money. I think it most likely though that he either had sums of money stored elsewhere or he had help from someone else accessing his money (like Dumbledore). I'm not sure how he could have done it alone though without altering his appearance because the store he bought it from would of had to of seen him too. Assuming he acquired it by legal means, I would think that he would of had some sort of assistance. Victoria
Regarding how he bought the Firebolt for Harry, I am not a hundred percent sure of this, but there is a possible theory that the request for it was sent to the store via owl post. Who knows maybe there is a credit fashion in the Gringotts to be able to transfer money to people via owlpost with enough ID in the request form. Its just a thought. Jeevn.

Wingate, N.C. - Garrett Stone struck first, recording his first collegiate goal, but Peron Da Silva's second half score put the host Bulldogs ahead as Brevard fell in a rematch of the 2011 Food Lion SAC tournament quarterfinals, 2-1.
Patrick Urmson and Paulo Silva both challenged Wingate (4-7, 2-2 SAC) goalkeeper Julian Garcia early, recording shots on goal in the first six minutes of the match before Stone finally found pay dirt in the Brevard (1-10-1, 0-5 SAC) charge. Tommi Rasinmaki lifted a corner kick to Urmson who touched the ball through to Stone, who drilled the ball into the net to put the Tornados up 1-0 at the 7:35 mark.
The Bulldogs evened the score on their first shot of the contest four minutes later as Zach Muchuca placed a corner kick in the box and Felippe Imperatriz headed the pass in the goal past Pauli Jussila to even the score at the 11:53 mark.
Though both teams placed shots on goal, neither team was able to find twine as the score remained even at 1 apiece at the half.
Silva and Urmson again challenged the Wingate keeper early in the second half, but this time the Bulldogs were first on the board as Da Silva received the cross from Tom Poole in front of the goal and touched it into the net at the 57:54 mark to give the hosts the 2-1 advantage.
The Tornados continued to challenge throughout the remainder of the match, with their best scoring opportunity coming at the 82:30 mark, but Marcelo Betcer's shot bounced off the crossbar as Brevard fell on the road to Wingate, 2-1.
Brevard returns home to the BC Soccer Field as they remain in conference play, welcoming Anderson on Wednesday, October 12th. Kickoff between the Tornados and the Trojans is set for 4 p.m.

Hyrule Theoria Part I: Five Zelda Theories Backed By Hyrule Historia
This phrase has been said in many a Zelda game ever since a certain Moblin bribed you with rupees in the original The Legend of Zelda. This common phrase has seemed somewhat synonymous to the fact that much of the series has remained a mystery all these years. As such, Zelda aficionados everywhere took it upon themselves to try and solve these mysteries, coming up with their own theories based on what they figured were the most logical explanations for certain questions they were losing sleep over.
But now that Nintendo has finished releasing the legendary book The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia across the globe, many of these theories have been either officially confirmed or teased to be truth. So which theories has this book touched upon? How many fan theories are either now facts or at least probabilities?
Warning: Potential spoilers abound!
Sheik's Harp from Ocarina of Time is the Same Harp from Skyward Sword
Ever since the release of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, gamers have noticed a striking resemblance between the Goddess's Harp, owned by Zelda - the mortal reincarnation of the goddess Hylia, and the harp that the future reincarnation of Zelda plays in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time under her guise of Sheik. Series producer Eiji Aonuma, when asked in an interview with Nintendo Power if these were the same harp, stated that "The design is the same as the harp that Sheik has in Ocarina of Time."
Not exactly a confirmation, but in Hyrule Historia, there is a note on page 11 that reads, "The harp in Skyward Sword looks a lot like Sheik's harp in Ocarina of Time. Could it be the same one…?" Considering where this hint comes from, it's hard not to believe this to be the truth. And it makes a lot of sense, too. As this is the goddess Hylia's harp, whose reincarnations are all within the Royal Family of Hyrule's bloodline, the Goddess's Harp is being passed down from generation to generation.
The Ocarina of Time Was Made from Timeshift Stones
The Timeshift Stones found in Skyward Sword have the power to control time, as the name implies. Remind you of anything? Perhaps a little instrument called the Ocarina of Time found in a game with the same name? This isn't the only similarity the stones and ocarina have, though, as both are also the same bluish color. Many fans have noticed this, and have speculated that the Ocarina of Time was actually created from the Timeshift Stones.
This is only a theory, of course, but Hyrule Historia gives a pretty big hint that makes this theory all the more believable. On page 53, there is a note that reads, "With this talk of controlling time, one can't help but think of Ocarina of Time. The ocarina is the same color as the Timeshift Stones. Could they be made of the same material?" While not officially confirmed, it's doubtful that this would just be a tease of something untrue. The Timeshift Stones can control time, and an instrument was eventually created to harness its power for use by the Royal Family of Hyrule.
The Temple of Time in Ocarina of Time Was Built Over Skyward Sword's Sealed Temple
When people saw a Temple of Time in Skyward Sword, they had some questions. For one thing, it's in the desert. The famous Temple of Time from Ocarina of Time was not. But here's the thing: those are two different Temples of Time. You see, the Temple of Time seen in Ocarina of Time is actually the Sealed Temple seen in Skyward Sword. Or at least, it was built OVER that temple. This was merely speculation before, but as Hyrule Historia states on page 77, "The only entrance to the Sacred Realm's Temple of Light, the Temple of Time shares the same name as the temple in the Lanayru Desert of the Era of the Goddess Hylia. It is thought that Rauru built the Temple of Time directly over the ruins of the Sealed Temple."
Sure, it says "it is thought," but this really is the most likely scenario. I mean, think about it: Who is Zelda? She is the goddess Hylia reborn. And what is the Sealed Temple? The Temple of Hylia. Now think about Ocarina of Time; who is Zelda? She is the Sage of Time. And what is the Temple of Time? Zelda's designated temple. Not only that, but this temple also houses the Master Sword, which was originally resting in the Sealed Temple long before. Furthermore, there are actual depictions of the six Sage Medallions on the ceiling of the entrance to the Sealed Temple. And as we know, the Six Sages gather inside the Temple of Light in the Sacred Realm. But aside from all that, taking a look at the image above pretty much makes it obvious, doesn't it?
Rauru from Ocarina of Time is Also Kaepora Gaebora
Remember that owl that appears in Ocarina of Time? Of course you do. Who could possibly forgot that guy? He goes by the name of Kaepora Gaebora, and he's actually more than meets the eyes (all four of them). For a while, people thought there may have been some connection between this talking owl who
This has recently been confirmed to be the case. On page 87 of Hyrule Historia, it clearly states that "before Link drew the Master Sword, Rauru took on the form of an unusual bird named Kaepora Gaebora, watching over the boy as he progressed in his adventure." So there you have it. Rauru, Sage of Light, is officially an unusual bird.
Link is Searching for Navi at the Beginning of Majora's Mask
At the end of Ocarina of Time, we see Link's fairy partner Navi leave him after Zelda returns him back to when he was still a child. After that, Link goes back to tell child Zelda of what Ganondorf is plotting, which results in Ganondorf's later execution attempt as explained in Twilight Princess. After his warning, Zelda hands Link the Ocarina of Time, which Link takes and, along with his trusty steed Epona, ventures through the Lost Woods in search of a friend. Thus begins Majora's Mask.
But who exactly IS this friend Link is searching for? Is it Navi? Or could it possibly be someone else? It doesn't really say, even though some might find the answer obvious. In fact, some people argued that this friend is actually more likely to be Saria. However, Hyrule Historia has confirmed that yes; it is indeed Navi whom Link is looking for. On page 110, it clearly states that "months passed as he wandered in search of his companion, Navi, eventually losing himself in a mysterious forest." So there you have it – Link really digs fairies.
To be continued...

I don't think that the games really have a chronological time frame I always felt like it was the same spirit of the characters in different people every time with different settings and wolrds/times.
Every Link is born from the same spirit, each Zelda is the descendant of past Zeldas (all carrying the blood of the goddess Hylia), and every Ganondorf is born from a curse of hatred explained in Skyward Sword. Hyrule Historia gives us a very detailed (and official) timeline for the entire series, which shows that most of the games are hundreds to thousands of years apart, while still taking place in Hyrule most games, and that the timeline splits three ways after Ocarina of Time.
Man, Link must have the patience of a saint if he wanted to actively seek out Navi after an entire adventure of "Hey! Listen! Hey! Listen! HEY! ARE YOU LISTENING YET?!?!"
Maybe he was finally ready to listen.

Thanks for repeating in detail what I just said lol.

Hey, you stated what you thought. I was just clarifying that you were mostly right, in case you didn't know
Somehow, I'm not sure how I missed that Rauru was actually Kaepora Gaebora. Funny too, because so many assumed that Gaepora from Skyward Sword had something to do with Kaepora Gaebora, especially due to the many similarities between them.
Yeah, it seems obvious now that it's been confirmed. And I too thought there was some connection between that owl and Gaepora, but then it was clarified by Aonuma that Gaepora was simply designed the way he was because it made him look wise, and his coincidental resemblance to Kaepora Gaebora is why they named him similarly. Still would have been interesting if Rauru was some descendant of Gaepora...

Arts & Culture
Finding Francesca WoodmanBy Jillian Steinhauer
We're fascinated by artists who die young. Something about the unnaturalness of an early death gives us a kind of morbid thrill. We hail their genius, attracted by the mystery of the unknown (and unknowable). Maybe we're envious—at least, the parts of us that seek fame and approval. For the dead, everything is fixed and frozen; there's no more work and no more pressure to perform. Pore as we will over their output, what they've left behind in the world will never change.
Francesca Woodman was an artist who died young. She committed suicide, jumping from a window when she was twenty-two. I was thinking of waiting to tell you that, of trying to withhold the information until later in this essay, but the effort seemed futile: if you're in art school, or read the New York Times, or have looked at the Guggenheim's Web site lately, or even if you get the Skint, a daily New York events e-mail, you already know.
The Skint mention is particularly curious. Somehow, in a newsletter composed of brief, one-line descriptions of featured events, Woodman's suicide merited inclusion: "Thru 6/13: 120 works of photographer francesca woodman (nsfw), who committed suicide at age 22 in 1981, go on display at the Guggenheim." The implication seems to be that her suicide either makes her more interesting or more worthy of an exhibition.

Families of September 11 offers its deep gratitude to the 9/11 Commission for its outstanding work on its final report. The Commission gained unprecedented access to classified documents and interviewed officials throughout the government, including President Bush and former President Clinton. It conducted its work in a transparent manner by holding public hearings and issuing interim staff reports. It produced a thorough, thoughtful, unanimous report with comprehensive recommendations for improving America's security.
We call on the President, Congress, and the executive branch agencies to review and implement the Commission's recommendations quickly. If these various parties choose not to act upon these recommendations, such a decision must be based on better recommendations which they are willing to put forth publicly and implement.
Nearly three years have passed since 9/11, and the Commission has conducted its study over a period of 20 months. The time for action is upon us. With the nation in continued peril of terrorist attack, we cannot afford to wait.
For a copy of the 9/11 Commission's final report, or to view the Commission's 41 recommendations as summarized by the Families of September 11, please visit www.familiesofseptember11.org. In addition, please refer to How to Reach Your Elected Officials to find contact information for the President and your Senators and Representatives.
Families of September 11, Inc. (FOS11) is an independent nonpartisan organization founded by families of those who died in the September 11 terrorist attacks.

text: Ok, so I'm looking to get my BMW 325i windows tinted. In South Carolina, the legal limit is 27% for all front sides, rear sides, and the back for sedans. I contacted the tint company about seeing exactly how dark the 27% really is. It wasn't very dark at all, and certainly not the darkness I was looking to achieve. I've seen minivans with darker tint than what I was allowed to get on my sedan. Turns out that SUV's and minivans, according to South Carolina law and also many other states, can apply any darkness to the back sides and rear as long as the front sides have the 27% limit. Whaaaaaaat? How in the world do SUV's and minivans get special treatment? This makes no sense to me whatsoever. Anyone have any knowledge of why this is or has experienced similar stories?

Statement by Ambassador Wittig on Somalia in the Security Council
(as delivered)
Mr. President,
I thank the Chinese Presidency for convening today's meeting. Germany is also very grateful for the clear and informed remarks by the Secretary General. I am particularly gratified by the presence of Prime Minister Abdullahi Mohamed and the Chairperson of the African Union Commission for Somalia, Ambassador Diarra as well as Special Representative Augustine Mahiga in Mogadishu.
Germany aligns herself with the statement to be delivered by the Delegation of the European Union on behalf of the EU.
Mr. President,
The Security Council has a unique responsibility in addressing the momentous challenges in Somalia. Germany strongly advocates for continued and focused work of the Council on Somalia, in close co-operation with regional actors and especially our partners in the African Union.
The conflict in Somalia has lasted far too long. It has attracted international terrorist activities and provided the breeding ground for piracy. It threatens international peace and security. But above all, its human cost is unacceptable. This human cost reminds us of our humanitarian responsibilities, especially with respect to vulnerable groups such as refugees, women and children. They continue to bear the brunt of violence. We are concerned by the severely limited humanitarian space. We call upon all parties in the country to ensure unhindered access of humanitarian aid as well as the safety of all humanitarian staff. We also call for the immediate implementation of all the conclusions of the Security Council´s Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict in Somalia.
Five months before the end of the transitional period, it is urgent to promote a clear political strategy for mastering the remaining transitional tasks. All of us - the Security Council, the actors in Somalia, neighboring countries and all other stakeholders - must continue to join efforts to achieve tangible progress.
Germany reiterates her full support to the Djibouti process. The Somali government now needs to focus on the completion of the constitution-making process, the outreach to armed opposition groups through dialogue wherever possible and sensible, and the provision of security and basic services to the Somali people.
The Transitional Institutions must stop political infighting. They are responsible towards their people. They must refrain from unilateral actions such as the recent extension of its term by the Transitional Parliament.
Mr. President,
The international community has to pursue its support to the Somali people and to the Somali institutions, in particular the security institutions, in order to work towards the stabilization of Somalia.
Wherever possible, we should explore ways to extend our support to those regions in Somalia enjoying relative stability and security, including Somaliland and Puntland. We should also urge better cooperation between such regions and the Transitional Federal Government in Mogadishu. We also see the need to engage with local administrations, communities and the civil society as a whole. We feel that their traditions and experiences can add significantly to the political process on the ground. In a longer perspective, extended co-operation between all actors could enhance opportunities for economic and social development beyond those regions, for the better of all of Somalia.
Piracy originating from Somalia needs to be tackled in a comprehensive way. The UN and all other international actors have to continue their common efforts in this regard. Germany will continue to actively take part in this endeavour.
Mr. President,
Let me turn to AMISOM: We reiterate our full support to the AU mission in Somalia and its troop contributors and are looking forward to its full deployment in the near future, in accordance with resolution 1964. Germany and the EU are extensively assisting AMISOM and troop contributing countries. Germany has recently delivered substantial equipment aid to a Burundian AMISOM contingent worth well over 5 million Dollar. We invite other donors to join our common effort and support AMISOM.
Germany is impressed by the professional and successful work carried out by AMISOM and its troop-contributors in fulfilling its daunting task. We thank them for their dedication and are encouraged by recent progress made on the ground, in Mogadishu and beyond. We are very saddened by the recent casualties amongst AMISOM's soldiers.
Mr. President,
My last point concerns the future UN presence in Somalia. Germany encourages the United Nations to strive to strengthen its presence in Somalia and especially in Mogadishu, as outlined by the Secretary General in his last report. We welcome recent efforts of UNPOS and the UN Country Team in this respect. An enhanced UN presence on the ground can contribute to a more direct engagement with the various communities and thus to a political solution for Somalia.
I thank you, Mr. President.

To understand a hockey fan's apathetic reaction to what seems to be a resolution in the NHL owner and player impasse is to put yourself in the shoes of a grocery store clerk, cross-country truck driver or mail carrier.
They're used to long hours, taking some abuse, struggling to get their honest day's work in and then being rewarded with little if any recognition.
And they go back and do it again.
(Perhaps any "hockey fan" in L.A. might not really understand much about this, especially those who joined in the Kings' parade at the tail end of things last summer and became enthralled by the whole, shiny Stanley Cup thing as it went through town. No problem. Excuse yourself to watch the replay of last night's Clippers' victory.)
The reaction of the hockey fan is why the NHL owners, to a greedy man, know that no matter what happened in this labor negotiation, no matter how these millions of dollars eventually will be split up by them and the players, they'll prey on the loyalty of those who buy the tickets, wear the sweaters and support the sponsors on TV that they'll be back no matter how absurdly this all played out.
Now, that might cause you to believe hockey fans are stupid, stupid, stupid.
That's a very romantic approach.
They're humble, first. They're altruistic, second. They're loyal to a fault. They've probably experienced first-hand their own labor issues, causing them to trust in their union leaders in telling them walking off the job for a while is something that had to be done for the betterment of everyone who comes after you.
They seem to understand things like this come up, stuff gets bogged down, people stop drawing checks for awhile, then it gets figuredout and, dang it all, they're grateful their job still is there.
They're God-fearing, not Fehr-fearing. They don't gamble with their future, like NHL commissioner Gary Bettman likes to do.
And they do love their puck. Perhaps to a fault.
Darren Rovell, ESPN's sports business correspondent, wrote about how he took a Twitter poll Sunday, one in which he concluded about three-quarters of the hundreds who responded indicated they'd watch the same percentage of games as they did the previous non-lockout seasons.
The theory is they have no recourse to switch to. NFL or NBA fans can turn to college football or basketball during a belabored labor stoppage. Hockey fans have the college game to turn to and some have. But ultimately, they're true to the pro game and that's that.
Thing is, the hockey fans I know don't care much for Twitter anyway. Even the ones living in L.A.
They're not all that impressed with social media tools that pretend to tell us how we're thinking or reacting or planning to retaliate.
They are the ones who tend to just enjoy the sport for what it is, admire the players who are a lot like them in many ways and lookforward to having a beer and watching a hockey game at the end of the day.
At the arena? Sometimes. But mostly, it's on TV.
Just works out better that way.
So if they appear a little apathetic to whatever news has come out about anything getting settled, forgive them.
They'll come around. They always seem to no matter how much they're abused, misused or refused. On twitter@tomhoffarth

Officials at the U.S. Coast Guard are now using USC-designed anti-terrorism software to maximize security patrols at the nation's busiest seaports, the university announced Wednesday.
Earlier this month, the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles implemented ARMOR-PROTECT, a program that uses a series of mathematical equations to randomize security patrols while giving maximum protection to high-level targets such as bridges, terminals and piers.
University of Southern California computer scientist Milind Tambe, who created the program with federal funding by the National Center for Risk and Economic Analysis of Terrorist Events, based the program on a mathematical game theory that anticipates the various outcomes of an attack from adversaries and applies to a number of scenarios that the Coast Guard would encounter.
"We have many things to protect and there's just not enough security resources to be available all the time, and therefore we have to deploy our security resources taking into account different targets that have many different levels of importance," Tambe said.
The program, already implemented at the ports of Boston and New York, is being vetted by the Coast Guard with the hopes of implementing it at the rest of the nation's 361 ports, said Craig Baldwin, the Coast Guard's program manager for ARMOR-PROTECT. A similar program led by Tambe was used at the Los Angeles International Airport for scheduling vehicle checkpoints and canine patrols and, most recently, on the Los Angeles Metro system, which help catch people who don't pay fares.
The program's success at LAX prompted federal air marshals to use the ARMOR-IRIS software system to randomize schedules.
"Coast Guard men and women work throughout the ports performing maritime safety and security, law enforcement, emergency response, environmental protection and regulatory duties," Capt. Jim Jenkins, commander of Sector Los Angeles-Long Beach, said in a statement. "With these tremendous responsibilities, we welcome the ARMOR-PROTECT model, which is designed to better optimize the use of Coast Guard and partner resources, thereby, strengthening our overall security operations."
Port officials said the program will boost the already stringent security measures that are in place.
"The local agencies look to the U.S. Coast Guard as the federal maritime security coordinator for programs such as this to keep us well prepared," Chief Ronald Boyd of the Los Angeles Port Police said in a statement. "Our port complex is viewed as a maritime leader in addressing security concerns."

Collaboration is the key to research and scholarly activity at Earlham. Students develop close working relationships with faculty in the classroom, laboratory, library and in the field. The College's Mission Statement envisions teaching and learning at Earlham as offering "extensive opportunities for students and faculty to interact with each other as persons, to learn from each other in a cooperative community, an important aspect of which is collaborative student/faculty research."
Of Earlham's teaching faculty, 85 percent report having conducted research with students. This interaction extends across all the disciplines at the College and often to off-campus sites throughout the United States and the world.
Talk to senior natural science majors today, and they might say that the opportunity to participate in student/faculty research has been one of the most significant experiences during their Earlham educations. But collaborative research is not confined to the sciences at Earlham; it also takes place throughout the academic disciplines, much of it sponsored by Ford/Knight Research Projects.
Through funding provided from the Ford and Knight foundations in the mid to late 1980s, the College has encouraged a great amount of activity. Students involved in hands-on research gain several benefits long identified by educational researchers: increased motivation to learn, augmented independent thinking, greater reliance on evidence for decision-making, enhanced creativity and improved communication skills. Student-faculty research strengthens critical thinking skills and gives students the experience of working collaboratively on a research team of both faculty and students. At Earlham the experience often results in the opportunity to share the project at a campus event, a publication in a scholarly journal, or a presentation at a professional conference.
Since 1986, the Ford/Knight Program has funded between 250 and 300 projects involving nearly 1,500 students. For 2010-11, 16 projects are in progress, involving 17 faculty from Humanities, Social Science, Natural Science and Fine Arts divisions plus four librarians.
Earlham's Natural Science faculty believe that one reason for our students' successful pursuit of higher degrees is the emphasis on student-faculty research in the Natural Science curriculum. According to the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools Comprehensive Evaluation of Earlham College in 2004, "The [Earlham] science faculty have embraced a model of excellent science education involving student-faculty research."
Original research is required in some majors (e.g., Biochemistry, Chemistry, Neuroscience) and is required for departmental honors in all majors. All Natural Science departments engage students in hands-on research within specific courses in their curricula. Students use primary scientific literature as part of their research and course work, thus participating in the wider scientific research community.
Earlham science faculty regularly involve students in their own professional research projects and have received funding for various student-faculty research projects from the W.M Keck Foundation, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Merck Company Foundation and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and the National Science Foundation.

ALBANY, NY -- The New York State Automatic Vending Association is calling on industry members in the state to contact their representatives in the Assembly to explain the importance of a bill providing sales tax relief to New York operators.
The bill, S.3445, would increase the sales and use tax exemption on vended sales of food and beverages from its present ceiling of 75¢ to $1.50. It did not go to a vote in the Assembly, although it was passed by the Senate, supported by the governor and endorsed by many Assembly members.
The measure now has been reintroduced as an amendment by Sen. Thomas W. Libous (R-52nd District).
NYSAVA's Brian W. Gill, Next Generation Vending LLC (Canastota), urges everyone to get involved in explaining its importance to their Assembly members.
"We must show the Assembly that by not passing this amendment, many jobs will be lost in New York -- and with them, payroll tax revenue -- with a significant effect on our industry and New York's unemployment," Gill emphasized.
NYSAVA is a state council of the National Automatic Merchandising Association.

The last decorating before Christmas...the stockings have been hung. The kids are pacing the floors waiting for the next four days to pass by as quickly as possible. Going to bed late, waking up early, eating stacks of freshly baked cookies and many moments of sugar highs and lows. The last Christmas cards are headed out to the post office today. It is almost here and I couldn't be more excited to see my little men Christmas morning after Santa visits. Love this year as they are so into making each moment memorable and truly getting into the spirit of the season. This card was created for Gel-A-Tins today. A few last minute cards needing to be made today. Before we head out to face the crowds in the stores for some last minute shopping with my in-laws...the winner of the magazine and banner is terriavidreader! Send me an email when you can to email@example.com and it will be on its way. I will have two more giveaways before the end of this week so keep checking back.

Not all matches are to help a padded fighters (ticket seller). I know they can produce some good matchups. I used to watch out for the results but stopped after seeing them being one-sided affairs. The transition from providing fans what they want to looking after solely their own interests in getting ticket sellers on that have "easier" fights?
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
The whole Safe MMA issue at the moment is beyond a joke in my opinion and I think DoD was right to stand by his fighter in this case... There will always be growing pains with any new org like Safe MMA but then the situations should be reviewed case by case in early days and worked through! ...and the vote?? Well, lets get the controlling interest in CW and BAMMA in a room and vote on weather or not we want to ban UCMMA.... no bias there then???
Just my opinion mind you, but this entire year as far as I can see has been a giant step back for UK MMA.
Dave may be a stand up guy but UCMMA doesn't produce anywhere near CW and BAMMA matched fights and it is clear that UCMMA didn't do what they should have done for Safe MMA.
Surely he's protecting one fighter as opposed to being on the side of all the others that are Safe MMA registered?
It doesnt really matter that CW's and BAMMA are on the voters list, end of the day it's an agreement that they all entered into and all realise who else is involved, signed up and would therefore be the decision makers.
No-one can dispute what Dave has done for MMA in the UK, with Cage Rage etc but were talking about a current/relevant issue which is that of Safe MMA. Everyone should be treating fighters well and sure that the other big orgs do the same.
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
I agree DOD was/is a big part of UK MMA, Cage Rage was something special back in the day, you only have to look at some of the fighters who appeared on their cards, just these days, the cards are watered down a lot with mismatches, the UK1 bouts etc, again, I understand why he is doing what he is doing - trying to put on the type of fights that end in KO's etc but Cage Rage imho was a far superior brand in so much as the quality of fights it put on.

Damon Dash is not married to Rachel Roy, but in a radio interview referred to the designer as his wife when he was asked about Jay-Z and Rachel Roy possibly hooking up and being the cause of the elevator fight between Jay-Z and Solange Knowles. I'm not sure why you would refer to someone as your wife when you divorced back in 2009 and are known to not get along very well. Damon had this to say about the Jay-Z rumors:
"If he was trying to holler at my wife, though, that's kinda f**ked up," Damon said. "That would be dark. That means he really has some resentment. I would hope that wouldn't be the case."
So, does this mean that no one is allowed to date Rachel Roy because Damon considers her his wife? That is what is f**ked up.

'If the NHL suspends Gauthier they'll lift the responsibility every player must have to make sure he is aware of his surroundings and the physical nature of the game.

a minor observation on my behalf using the Alfa AWUS036NH in BT5, VirtualBox under Windows 7 or LinuxMint...
have the same issues as others here while airodump-ng mon0.... occasionally I am able to see expected mon0 output after rebooting a few times. no one particular settng seems to work all the time...
however, while testing and not getting the results i expected after several retries, i got curious and initiated airbase-ng --essid whatever -a aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa mon0, then I tried airodump-ng mon0 and got results... I alt-c each terminal instance to quit.. went back and tried airodump-ng mon0 and still nothing... don't know if anyone can use this to troubleshoot issue...
so i l closed out BT5 and went back to LinuxMint and opened terminal and initiated airmon-ng start wlan1, then airodump-ng mon0 and got expected results every time. ... closed all terminal instances and started BT5 and tried it again to no avail.
soooo, can't run successfully on BT5 more than 20% of the time, but it does work fine in LinuxMint 100% of time.
hope this helps.
okay. so i decided to mess around a little more with this issues and trying whatever i can to make the Alfa card work in BT5 R1. i decided to write a very simple script which i saved to /usr/local/bin , named powerset. chmod a+x powerset to make it executable.
i attempted to initiate several things like iw reg set, and txpower and macchanger from the jump start... after several tries i came up with this simple testing solution:
For linuxmint:
i didn't bother with macchanger in linuxmint obviously#!/bin/bash
iw reg set NZ
ifconfig eth1 down
ifconfig wlan1 down
iwconfig eth1 txpower 30
iwconfig wlan1 txpower 30
ifconfig eth1 up
ifconfig wlan1 up
airmon-ng start wlan1
ifconfig mon0 down
ifconfig mon0 txpower 30
ifconfig mon0 up
airodump-ng mon0
in BackTrack 5 R1, using VirtualBox i did this;
i receive no errors in either linuxmint or bactrack5. for now it seems i am able to reboot, shutdown and then restart backtrack 5 r1 and successfully do an airodump-ng mon0. i did not unplug the alfa card at all each time i used terminal to run my 'powerset" script. if anyone has a more appropriate solution for this alfa card issue, or a better script please let me/us know. i would truly appreciate your input. thank you.#!/bin/bash
iw reg set NZ
ifconfig wlan0 down
iwconfig wlan0 txpower 30
macchanger -m xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx wlan0
ifconfig wlan0 up
airmon-ng start wlan0
ifconfig mon0 down
ifconfig mon0 txpower 30
macchanger -m xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx mon0
ifconfig mon0 up
airodump-ng mon0

K-State Falls to Texas on the Road
K-State Falls to Texas on the Road
Jan. 26, 2013
AUSTIN, Texas – K-State built a nine-point lead midway through the first half, but Texas used a combination of interior scoring a cold shooting by the Wildcats to record its first win in league play this season, 59-40, on Saturday at the Erwin Center. The 40 points were a season-low for the Wildcats this season.
K-State (12-8, 3-5 Big 12) was led by Brittany Chambers with 15 points, three rebounds, three assists and three steals. The product of Jordan, Minn., reached double digits for the 19th time this season and the 93rd time in her career. She has led K-State in scoring 13 times this season and 53 times in her career. During the game, Chambers became the sixth player in Big 12 history and the third in school history to achieve 1,700 career points, 700 career rebounds and 300 assists.
Joining Chambers in double digits on Saturday was Bri Craig with 10 points. The freshman from Lincoln, Neb., has reached double figures in nine games this season.
The Wildcats were 8-of-35 from behind the three-point line for the afternoon. K-State suffered through an 0-of-13 stretch, which spanned the first and second halves before Bri Craig carded a three from the corner with 8:48 to play in the second half.
Texas (8-11, 1-7) was paced by Nneka Enemkpali and Imani McGee-Stafford with 20 and 18 points, respectively. Enemkpali finished with her ninth double-double of the season, as she pulled in 16 rebounds.
The Wildcats built a nine-point first half lead, 22-13, with 7:56 to play as Chambers connected on a pair of three-point field goals on consecutive possessions to push the Wildcats into its largest lead of the first stanza.
Texas narrowed the K-State lead to two, 26-24, at the half. The Longhorns used an 11-4 run to close out the opening half. Highlighting the Texas rally was Enemkpali with six points.
Texas strung together an 18-3 run to open the second half to take a 42-29 lead with 11:00 to play. The Wildcats were held without a made field goal for over 10 and a half minutes during the Texas run.
The Longhorns would build a 15-point lead twice during the second half. After the first 15-point Texas lead, 49-34 with 6:28 to play, the Wildcats narrowed the game to 11 after Haley Texada and Chambers hit three-point field goals. The Longhorns put the game away with its second 15-point lead of the game.
K-State shot 4-of-27 (.148) from the field in the second half and 3-of-16 from the three-point line. The second half field goal percentage and point total were season lows for a half.
K-State will have a week off and will return to action on Saturday, Feb. 2, as the Wildcats host KU for the Dillons Sunflower Showdown at 2 p.m. For the second straight season, the Zooperstars! will perform at halftime in Bramlage. For ticket information, contact the K-State Athletics Ticket Office at (800) 221-CATS or visit www.kstatesports.com/tickets.

Bentgrass can crowd out desirable lawn grasses and change the whole look of your lawn. Unless you practice golf in your yard, Bentgrass isn't something you want around. Kept very short, it looks neat and uniform. Allowed to grow, it forms dense, scraggly mats.
Spray-On Weed Control
You can spot treat actively growing Bentgrass with a product such as Round Up® Weed & Grass Killer. For more information, read How and where do I apply Roundup® brand products? Always read and follow label instructions before you start spraying.
Control It in the Summer Treat Bentgrass patches with a grass control during the summer, when the weed is actively growing. Be careful spraying, since most treatments for Bentgrass will also kill the grass you want. One week after spraying, mow the area short and reseed.

Keith Urban to play NFL kickoff concert next month
Listen to Keith Urban on iHeartRadio
Keith Urban will help launch the new football season. The country star has been tapped for the "NFL Kickoff 2013 Presented By Pepsi," featuring a fireworks display along with Urban's performance.
Keith will treat viewers to a mix of hits and new material from his upcoming album, Fuse, from a floating stage in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. The event will also serve to honor the 2013 Super Bowl champs the Baltimore Ravens, who are facing the Denver Broncos in Denver for the first game of the 2013-2014 season.
"NFL Kickoff 2013" will air live on NBC and the NFL Network on September 5th at 7:30 p.m. Eastern, and can also be seen via NFL Mobile.
But Urban isn't the only country star involved in launching the new football season. "The Voice" winner Danielle Bradbery will be in Denver to sing the national anthem at the start of the game.

KISS to celebrate arena football team with acoustic concert
While KISS won't be performing at their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, the band does have a special show coming up in April.
The group is slated to play an acoustic concert at the San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino in Highland, California.
"An Acoustic Evening with KISS" will feature the band without makeup, playing unplugged versions of their biggest hits and sharing some of the stories behind the songs.
The concert is celebrating the launch of Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley's arena football team, L.A. KISS. The concert is set for April 3rd, just two days before L.A. KISS plays its first home game.
And UltimateClassicRock.com says the cameras will be rolling when KISS hits the stage. AMC is crafting a new reality series around the team's inaugural season. Network exec Eliot Goldberg says the still-titled series will present "all the trials and tribulations of launching a sports franchise in a great sports city like Los Angeles." AMC is expected to roll out the series this summer.
