It's true to an extent: the Guardian Council selects candidates and Khamenei retains his role.
A few weeks ago, the Iranian parliament, again, of course, handpicked by Khamenei, was ready to impeach the impudent Mohallel.
Supreme Leader Khamenei and president-elect Rowhani understand what they have to do to obtain relief from sanctions.
In short, Khamenei has utterly, perhaps irreparably, damaged the office of supreme leader.
What matters now for Rowhani is whether he can get anything done within the straitjacket imposed by Khamenei.
"They emphasize Fordo because they cannot get to it," said Khamenei.
They run the economy, own major industries, and brutalize their foes—and Khamenei almost never contradicts them.
In Tehran, Khamenei is making his own powerplay—and all of this is likely to help the clerics achieve their dubious nuclear aims.
Neither Khamenei nor President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has commented on the letter.
America's "strategic policy," Khamenei has said, "is seeking female promiscuity."

help,having trouble tracing 'Stillitano',for my family tree
Can anyone give me any clue's where to start, I'm trying to do my family tree on my mothers side, and they were from Florence, called Stillitano, But, I don't understand Italian, therefore, I'm having trouble on the Italian web sites,and cannot seem to trace any sign of them!!
Can anyone please help??
Can anyone please help??
Kimmie there are 292 persons in Italy that have the Stillitano surname. ^0% are in Calabria and Sicilky region while there are only 5 for the entire region of Tuscany and only two in the Florence province. One of the two in the Florence Province is in the city iotself and the other is in Scandicci a town outside of Florence. The remaining three are in ther Provinces of Grosetto, Pisa and Pistoia in the Tuscany region. If you go to www.paginebianche.it and put in the Stillitano surname in the first line and put in either FI for the the entire province or just Florence and thenScandicci in order to get the name,address and telephone number of the persons sunramed Stiullitano in the Florence area. Peter
Thanks for that, Peter, It has helped alot , But now I have disscovered, my Great Grandfather WAS called Salvidor Stillitano, but he was born in Capri and Not Florence as 1st thought And that he had two brothers, Constance and Hannibal, and one sister, Camilla. Camilla moved to London in 1899, But that is where i come to a halt, I cannot understand Italian, and I'm having trouble tracing further back the tree!!
Are there any other tips you(or anyone else) can give me
thankyou, Kimmie.
Are there any other tips you(or anyone else) can give me
thankyou, Kimmie.
First of all the name is SALVATORE (Salvidor is spanish). If he was born in Capri then you need to write to Capril for his birth record But you need his full name and birth date or birth year and write to Ufficio di Stato Civile, Postale80073, Comune di Capri (also another letter to Anacapri 80071 which is second village oin the Isle of Capri and rerquesting a birth record. You have to send it in Italian by sending a form letter which you will get from www.circolo calabrese.org/resources/index.asp along with a self addressed envelope and $5.00 in a postal coupon or international bank check which is suggested by the Mormon church. If he was born in either village on the Island of Capri you will get his birth record and then you will know if he was indeed born there.\ But let me suggest that since you do not know Italian and you want to know more about creating a family tree that you buy or borrow from a library a book ITALIAN GENEALOGICAL RECORDS by Traffor R. Cole which will explain what to do in order to creat a family tree. Peter
Post script: If you go to www.paginebianche.it and put in Stillitano in the firsat line and SA in the third line and click CERCA (in red) a listing will come up of a woman surnamed Stillitano to whom you may wish to write a letter asking her if she is related to you. You can either go to your local high school that teaches Italian or a local college or a lnaguage school . If that is not feasible then write a very simple sentence letter in english since english is the second language in Italy and taught in the schools. Keep the letter very simple if you write in english. Peter
SA is for the propvince of Salerno and this is the only Stillitano that is within the area that the Island of Capri is located which is in the adjoing province of Napoli (Naples) and if she is related to yhour family then she would possibly know something of youir family. Its a chance but it is worth taking. Peter

After a weekend trip to Columbus, the 6'0, 175-lb cornerback felt he had seen enough to choose the Buckeyes over offers from Michigan, LSU, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Mississippi State, and others.
"Coming into this visit, I wanted to look at a lot of aspects of the university starting off with education. They have a good sports industry program with a lot of majors, and my parents and I felt it was a good program. Then there is the overall winning aspect. I feel like I can win here, and get a good education."
Webb says the Buckeyes also made him feel wanted, and he felt very comfortable with the men who will be coaching him throughout his career.
"Coach Coombs came to visit me at Cass every month. I felt he was very high on me. All the words he said to me were sincere and Coach Meyer made me feel at home. When I was at the visit, I went over what Coach Coombs sees me at, and I think I can definitely play right away."
While it wasn't a deciding factor, getting to see a big game basketball atmosphere and win for the Buckeye hoops squad over Michigan today topped off the visit perfectly.
"The atmosphere was real live. It was one of the hypest basketball games I've ever been to."
Now that recruiting is over, Webb says he can focus on school, his senior year and improving his game.
Of course, with over a year between now and Signing Day 2014, Buckeye fans may wonder if other schools will try to steal him away. However, the newest member of the Ohio State class put it very simply.
"Done deal."

Ike's record storm surge pushing into Texas
Posted by: JeffMasters, 3:26 PM GMT on September 12, 2008
Hurricane Ike is closing in on Texas, and stands poised to become one of the most damaging hurricanes of all time. Despite Ike's rated Category 2 strength, the hurricane is much larger and more powerful than Category 5 Katrina or Category 5 Rita. The storm surge from Ike could rival Katrina's, inundating a 200-mile stretch of coast from Galveston to Cameron, Louisiana with waters over 15 feet high. This massive storm surge is due to the exceptional size of Ike. According to the latest wind field estimate (Figure 1), the diameter of Ike's tropical storm and hurricane force winds are 550 and 240 miles, respectively. For comparison, Katrina numbers at landfall were 440 and 210 miles, respectively. As I discussed in yesterday's blog entry, a good measure of the storm surge potential is Integrated Kinetic Energy (IKE). Ike continues to grow larger and has intensified slightly since yesterday, and the hurricane's Integrated Kinetic Energy has increased from 134 to 149 Terajoules. This is 30% higher than Katrina's total energy at landfall. All this extra energy has gone into piling up a vast storm surge that will probably be higher than anything in recorded history along the Texas coast. Storm surge heights of 20-25 feet are possible from Galveston northwards to the Louisiana border. The Texas storm surge record is held by Hurricane Carla of 1961. Carla was a Category 4 hurricane with 145 mph winds at landfall, and drove a 10 foot or higher storm surge to a 180-mile stretch of Texas coast. A maximum storm surge of 22 feet was recorded at Port Lavaca, Texas.
LOL. I'm watching Fox News and Geraldo Rivera is reporting live from Glaveston. Just as he began talking a huge wave swept him from his feet and knocked him to the ground. Funny stuff. He jumped up and proclaimed himself the new star of Youtube.

It looks like all the networks will be pulling their correspondents off Galveston Island fairly soon because it's too dangerous. The storm is still 10-12 hours away from landfall and Galveston is already receiving some major flooding.
As for ships, I have always heard the head out to sea to ride out hurricanes. Is this true?

Just heard that the Coast Guard is attempting to rescue 150 people from rising waters in Galveston.
This is a cool use of technology ...
Point of contention.
A reporter was interviewing a resident riding out the storm. He explained that "why run when mother nature will just follow you. You can't hide" on his decision to stay.
The reporter then says "you're deciding to brave it out?"
Brave it out? It's moronic rather than brave.

By Jessi Loerch Herald Writer
Ski to Sea is an impressive athletic feat. By ski, foot, bike and boat, racers make their way from the slopes of Mount Baker to the waters of Bellingham Bay.
A small group of determined racers, though, have found a way to make the event even more challenging.
Next weekend, for the first time, Ski to Sea will have a car-free division. Every member of the car-free teams completes the race, including getting to and from their respective courses, without the aid of cars.
Tyler Rourke of Everett is leading a car-free team this year. It's the second time he's joined in Ski to Sea, all car free.
The race is a relay. It starts on the slopes of Mount Baker, and it goes like this: cross-country skiing, downhill skiing or snowboarding, running, canoeing, road biking, mountain biking and kayaking.
The race this year has 11 car-free teams, eight racers to a team. The total Ski to Sea is approximately 500 teams.
Since the race covers so much ground, navigating it without a car requires a lot of time and some very careful planning.
For Rourke's team, the fun starts early. On Friday, two days before the race, the team rides up to a campground on Mount Baker Highway, about 8 miles shy of the ski area.
They camp and enjoy themselves. Then, on Saturday, the skiers and the runner head up the hill, two on a tandem, and the other on a single bike.
The road biker hangs out, ready to head out after running leg. Everyone else heads back downhill. The three will camp overnight near the start, so they are ready to go Sunday morning.
Last year, they pitched their tent in the bucket of a snow loader, because it was the only place out of the wind.
On race day, the skiers do their legs, and then the runner goes.
Then it's time to get back on the bikes. One person rides the tandem alone, and the other rides the single bike. They go downhill and meet the runner at the end of that leg.
And so it goes, racers helping each other get to and from their respective start and stops points, for the whole race.
For the canoe leg, Rourke and his teammates use a trailer to haul the boat. On race day, the paddlers haul the canoe from Bellingham to the Everson area on the Nooksack River, where that leg begins.
Then, while the canoers race, the mountain biker rides, with the extra bikes on the now-empty trailer, to meet them at the end of their race, and the start of his own.
The kayaker on their team is lucky enough to live near the start area, and simply walks the kayak down to the start.
Completing the course car-free, naturally, adds many, many miles to the more than 93-mile course. But Rourke thinks it's worth it.
"This group likes the extra challenge, likes the adventure, likes turning a one day race into a many day adventure," he said.
Rourke went to college at Western Washington University in Bellingham where he heard about Ski to Sea.
Then he read a study about the impact of the race — gallons of gasoline burned, number of water bottles used — and decided he wasn't interested.
When a friend tried it without a car six years ago, Rourke was intrigued. He later served as support for a car-free team before doing it himself.
"One team proving it could be done led to other teams giving it a try, and this year for the first time we have an all new car-free division in the race," he said.
Ski to Sea
Ski to Sea is a relay race from Mount Baker to Bellingham Bay with seven legs — cross-country skiing, downhill skiing or snowboarding, running, canoeing, road biking, mountain biking and kayaking — and eight racers (two people in the canoe). This year it is on May 26. Learn more about it at their website, www.skitosea.com.

Extended Warranties: CPO vs Compass vs EasyCare
First time poster ... very useful site, appreciate all the enthusiasm of the regular posters. That said, I'm a little confused regarding extended warranty options.
I was told by my local BMW dealership that I may not be eligible for an extended warranty because my vehical has a branded title (in CA, I live in IL). I purchased the vehicle from a non-BMW affiliated dealer, knowing at the time of purchase of the issue on the title (original owner had to have service on the vehicle for the same issue 3 times in the same month).
So, I'm wondering if (1) the local dealer just doesn't want to offer me any extended warranty (their service department has been questionable over the past) and (2) if I'm better off going with a non-BMW warranty provider such as EasyCare or Compass?
For context, I have a 2008 X5, have had the vehicle for 2 years and have put <10k miles on it during that time (I just broke 20k miles).
Any advice? I've searched the forums, and there seems to be a consensus around going with a CPO extended warranty over a 3rd party product, but I haven't come across any posts regarding extended warranties and branded titles.
Thanks in advance for everyone's help ... this is a bit of a time-sensitive request (original manufacturer warranty expires in 4 weeks).
i'm in a similar position
1. It is a fact that BMW warranty will not apply in CERTAIN circumstances:
2. BE AWARE that other warrantors may have similar exclusions and ASKING them is a poor way to become informed. You must ask to see the actual policy. Not the brochure. I actually say "I want the document that does NOT SAY "see the ___ for more details"...when you get to the final document it will NOT say that.
3. I dont have a cpo or BMW extended warranty handy- so you should read those too. #1 is from the original new car warranty.
4. Once you pass the 4 year mark, you may be VERY limited in choices.
Keep it as simple as possible...but no simpler.
I wonder how a lemon ****back works in this case, as that seems what the OP is asking.
For the manufacturer to resell a vehicle after they repurchased it due to lemon laws I would think they would have to bring the vehicle back to a state where they could still offer a warranty on it.
I have a buddy who ran into a similar issue on a CTS-V that he even had a hard time getting the dealer to do normal warranty work after he purchased it with a lemon law ding on the title.

@ard ... appreciate the response. Fortunately, the vehicle was not a total loss or sold for salvage (else I would not have considered it). I'm not aware if CA lemon laws are more strict than in IL, but the information disclosed to me at the time of purchase had to deal with a "high battery drain message" that the original owner reported. The dealer bought-back the vehicle, and "replaced the footwell module and re-programmed the control units with CAS" (which I assume to be a relatively straight-forward repair).
That said, my local (IL) dealer appears to be giving me the run-around. They mentioned that they could submit an extended warranty request to BMW, but that they anticipate it will be denied. Since I've had issues dealing with them in the past, I've reached out to other dealers to receive a quote (I'm under the impression that I cannot go to BMW directly).
Assuming that my options via BMW are limited, I'm hoping yourself (or others on the forum) have experience with 3rd party warranty providers and could comment (specifically on EasyCare and Compass).
@jashearer ... you are correct regarding the 'state' of the vehicle before offering it for re-sale. The aforementioned fix was made, all routine maintenance performed, and the original manufacturer warranty kept in-tact.
Would appreciate to hear what route your friend ended up going with this CTS-V (given similar circumstances). End of day, I have no preference between BMW versus a 3rd party warranty provider, assuming that the policy coverage/limitations are comparable and one of my local dealers will honor the coverage.
And of course, I welcome any other suggestions
But lets examine why the dealer is giving you a run around....first, are they offering a "better" warranty that they can sell you?
I would be $100 they are.
Guess what? They make $300 on the BMW warranty, and they make $1500 on the third party warranty.
So guess what they will say is better?
CALL ONE OF THE SPONSORS 9or email or pm them).... buy from them.
Keep it as simple as possible...but no simpler.
Last edited by ard; 07-17-2012 at 06:14 PM. Reason: why does "BUY" get "***" from the censor filter?!?
@ard ... appreciate your perspective on this as always.
From conversations with three separate dealerships (all in different states for that matter), I am not eligible for a CPO extended warranty. Through BMW, I am eligible for a Gold or Platinum extended warranty (the coverage details between the two I am still researching).
As far as third party coverages, one dealership has offered me coverage through Compass (which American Guardian administers), another through Warranty Solutions (via Wells Fargo), and a third through Zurich Financial. All appear to offer comparable products to BMW's Gold/Platinum offerings.
Thank you for the recommendation to contact one of the PMs/Forum Sponsors (the thought never crossed my mind). I feel foolish asking, but how do I go about figuring out who the PMs/sponsors are (and their respective contact information)??
The gold is not a bad plan, but there can be a good number of things that will not be covered. Audio and navigation are two examples. I'd price both, then go from there.
I think there is a sponsor listing somewhere. One guy (damnit, I forget who) has been quoting maintenance and warranties. As always, be cool dealing with them- don't blab about your deal.
Here is the impossibility if evaluating extended warranties:
1. Nobody gives you the POLICY. All you get are summaries and overviews. They MAY give you one if you demand.
2. To get around the legal conundrum wherein they cannot sell you something without telling you what you are buying (ie they cannot sell a policy and not let you read it) so they give you 30 days to cancel after they give you a copy after you've paid. But by then you've shelled out 3-4k...I guess you need to buy three warranties at $4k each and return the once you don't want.
3. The language in the policy is subject to BROAD interpretation. You can compare two warranties and have identical language, but one administrator is under orders to 'cut down on claims this month' will deny.
4. People do not understand this business- companies use established names and secure sounding names- wells fargo, zurich, etc. But here is an important fact- the entity that is holding the financial bag- who ultimately pays, may be a small company or collection of investors, sometimes called a Risk Retention Group. So while the name may be good and hte administrator good, the policy can run out of money and disappear.
Back in the day Easy CAre was Ford. No brainer, they'd be there. This is why I really like a manufacturers backed policy- they will not go away, there is huge corporate exposure and they will do the right thing.
(Interestingly this is the same philosophy I have on aftermarket wheels- I want a manufacturer that has a lot to lose if the wheels fail. All these fly by night companies with an internet storefront selling Chinese sweatshop goods simply have no skin in the game to drive quality....but I digress)
Keep it as simple as possible...but no simpler.
He sold the cts-v v1 and ended up buying a v2 due to warranty coverage issues, but he didn't fight hard enough in my opinion.
If you have original warranty it would seem likely that BMW would sell you an extension, check the ask a dealer sub forum or a forum sponsor.
Keep us informed.

@Jashearer ... thanks for the heads up. Since I have a few weeks before the original manufacturer warranty expires, I will be performing my due diligence.
From what I have gathered so far, I am *not* eligible for a CPO (expected as much) given the branded title - regardless of the reason behind the brand.
That said, I am still eligible for a BMW extended and/or maintenance plan. I am looking primarily at the extended plans, as I do not put enough miles on the vehicle to justify the maintenance offering.
Also, it appears that dealers in particular locales work with different 3rd-party warranty providers. In the Midwest, EasyCare and Compass seem big ... on the West Coast, Wells and Zurich appear to be popular.
I haven't yet gone through and compared the T&C's of the BMW offered plan versus those from 3rd-parties that dealers have quoted me (that's an activity for this evening). Once I do, I'll share what I learn and solicit feedback from the forum.
Buying a used X5 on Ebay - HELP!
Hi folks, I'm seriously considering buying a 2009 X5 from a used car dealer on Ebay. The car still has the original factory warranty till April 2013. I definitely want to buy extended warranty on this car, but how do I know if I will be qualified for the official BMW Extended Vehicle Protection plan? I heard from some people that you have to be the original owner of the car in order to buy extended warranty from BMW, is this true???
As a side question... should I order a mechanic to go check out this car before I buy? Thinking about using "Inspect My Ride" service through EBay. Please help! I've never bought a car on EBay before.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can share!
I wouldn't buy a BMW through eBay unless it is given a full inspection. Why is owner selling? Don't buy before you get it checked out.
I would not consummate the deal on eBay UNLESS I had a signed document/contract from the seller with every detail, expectation, condition clarified in writing.
I don't know about the inspect my ride, but I'd be concerned it is superficial... Better to find a local mechanic you can talk to first
The deal should be contingent on YOUR impersonal inspection, AND your each antics inspect, with any deposit fully refundable.
All in writing, any deposit with a credit card
Keep it as simple as possible...but no simpler.

Your total lack of effort shows that you want someone to spoon-feed you, and that you are unwilling to do the least amount of work to solve the problem.
Not to mention you probably pissed your chances away by trying to argue with two respectable members of this community, one who happens to be an admin here.

Supernatural's 18 invited riders loaded into snowcats this morning to inspect the mile-long contest course at Baldface Lodge outside of Nelson, BC, Canada. Although the riders had studied photos of the course the night before, seeing it live was mind blowing in comparison. From the those standing on the razor ridge that is the drop-in point, here are some of the first impressions of the setup as they peered down on the run known as Scary Cherry.
"Holy shit it's steep. It's not as intimidating as I thought because it's so steep you can see everything. Damn people are going to go big."—Scotty Lago
"First reaction? I got a hard on."—Terje
"It's amazing. It has everything: pillows, jumps, pow turns. Everything. I'm so excited."—Kazu Kokubo
"It's much steeper than I thought it would be. From the pictures I was worried that it would be a blind roll, but it's actually not. It's going to be fun."—Nicolas Müller
"It's gnarly. The jump looks fun and all the taps at the bottom look really fun. There are tons of sick lines."—Sage Kotsenburg
"Wow. It's hard to take in all at once. There are so many features."—John Jackson
"I'm fucking jacked. It's so gnarly. For me growing up riding Baker this is my kind of terrain. I couldn't be more excited to take my runs."—Lucas Debari
"When you look at something for the first time and think, 'Wow, I really want to ride this,' that's a good sign."—Devun Walsh
Originally given a six-day holding period to allow for weather, sun and a stable snow pack mean the contest will be happening tomorrow, Saturday, February 4. The stoke at Baldface right now is high—so high in fact that for many the 75,000 dollars in prize money is an afterthought—getting to ride the most progressive course ever designed with 18 of the world's most progressive riders is almost reward enough.

Fat Kid Rules the World
Reading level: Grades 7+
Troy, a three hundred pound high school boy, is standing on the edge of a train platform, mock headlines running through his head (FAT KID MESSES UP) as he realizes he probably wouldn't even totally succeed at his own suicide, when a homeless drug addict legend from Troy's high school, saves his life. Obviously Troy owes Curt lunch after his rescue (according to Curt), and the odd pair strike up an awkward friendship. Curt, it seems, has decided that Troy is to be the new drummer for Curt's band. Only one problem.
Troy has never played the drums in his life.
Short, witty, laugh-out-loud chapters punctuated by Troy's FAT KID headlines and embodying a punk rock mentality, Fat Kid is sure to appeal.

Midnight Dawn
Plus I am writing my own Novel Midnight Dawn and no one is bothering to read it. I am on the verge of tagging it for deletion because no one is reading it and commenting on it. Please read it and give me your point of view on it. I am thinking about printing this out and sending it to Stephenie Meyer for herself to read and she will send me it back with her all edits and changes to it. I am also putting with it, (FANFICTION) attached to it. So what do you's all think.

You're concentrating on your baby now, but remember that you have special needs, too. Taking good care of yourself will help you take the best care of your preemie.
When it's time to bring your baby home, you might feel relieved, excited and anxious. After time in the hospital, it might be daunting to leave the on-site support of your baby's medical team behind. Keep in mind that as you spend more time with your baby, you'll better understand how to meet his or her needs and your relationship will grow stronger.
Before you leave the hospital, consider taking a course in infant CPR. Make sure you're comfortable caring for your baby, especially if you'll need to use special monitors at home or give your baby supplemental oxygen or other treatments. Ask questions about your baby's care. Schedule follow-up visits with your baby's doctor, and find out whom to call if you have concerns in the meantime.
Because sitting semireclined in a car seat can increase the risk of breathing problems or a slow heartbeat, your baby might need to be monitored in his or her car seat before hospital discharge. When you have the OK to use a car seat, use it only during travel.
In addition, don't place your baby in a backpack or other upright positioning devices — which might make it harder for him or her to breathe — until you talk to your baby's doctor.
To measure your premature baby's development, use his or her corrected age — your baby's age in weeks minus the number of weeks he or she was premature. For example, if your baby was born eight weeks early, at age 6 months your baby's corrected age is 4 months.
You'll always remember your baby's time in the hospital. Now cherish the opportunity to begin making memories at home.

Aaron Carter and 10 Celebs Under 30 Who Have Been to Rehab
Rehashing rehab: Another twenty-something makes the list!
-Carolyn French
In the past six or seven years we have seen a surge of young stars who are either falling off the wagon, about to fall off the wagon, or have been completely crushed by the wagon.
Aaron Carter, the kissable blonde crooner of yesteryear, is just the latest celeb in a long string of party-hardy peeps to seek professional counseling.
The 23-year-old singer and former Dancing with the Stars contestant checked into a private Southern California facility this month to "heal some emotional and spiritual issues" according to his manager Johnny Wright.
Aaron's looking to restart his musical career and is doing the responsible thing by getting help prior to making a comeback, which we applaud!
His current predicament reminded us of all the big names, under 30, who have sought treatment for their addictions. Let's see if you remember these pivotal moments in tabloid history…

Miguel talks Mariah & new music!
Listen to Miguel on iHeartRadio | Listen to Mariah Carey on iHeartRadio
Before the crowd-surf-jump-move that went horribly wrong, Miguel chatted with Billboard magazine about working with Mariah Carey, new music and what inspires him.
"I'm always looking for something that I haven't seen before," he told Billboard in an interview before the award show. "[Also] something that's going to make an impact [by] using simple elements but creatively so it makes people think a bit."
Miguel recently collaborated with Mariah for her single, "#Beautiful," and it currently is resting at No. 24 on the Hot 100 charts.
"Mariah is, she is so fast. Her mind is is extremely sharp," he said. "I didn't really know what to expect, how involved she would be creatively but … she was really behind the vision of '#Beautiful' being a duet between her and I. The video went with all of that. She's a mastermind."
Miguel says he will be releasing two more singles from "Kaleidoscope Dream" and is working on a three-EP series similar to "Art Dealer Chic." When does he sleep?!

I have just completed an install of BackTrack5 onto a hard drive. I had been previously been using BackTrack4 on hard drive. I have a Dell Latitude E6510.
The problem that I have is that the networking stops working after 12-24 hours of being online. I get a DHCP network address and leave the laptop on and on the network. Sometime the next day or so I try to connect to the internet from the laptop and all connectivity is lost. Checking ifconfig shows a valid IP address and the route table is still valid. But, no network traffic will flow until I do a "/etc/init.d/networking restart" and get a new DHCP lease for the interface. This was exactly the same problem with the BackTrack4 install I had previously been using and was one thing I was hoping was no longer an issue with BackTrack5.
I need this to work properly so the system can perform as an audit machine without losing its network connectivity.

410 — By George L. Petrie
February 2001
Critical Mass
|Opportunity comes knocking on Albemarle's door.
Boatbuilding is big business along the Carolina coast. Albemarle Boats is one of three large boatyards in the little town of Edenton, North Carolina (population just over 5,000), and there are dozens of other builders, large and small, within a 200-mile radius. That concentration, along with strong demand generated by a decade of prosperity, has created challenges and opportunities for Albemarle as it takes its newest and largest model, a 41-footer, to market.
Albemarle Boats was founded in 1978 by Scott Harrell, in a warehouse his family owned alongside a marina in Edenton, where the Chowan River flows into Albemarle Sound. The first model was a 24-foot fishing boat that still anchors the line. Over the years production facilities expanded as 26- and 28-foot models were introduced and again when a line of 30- and 32-foot express cruisers went into production. Even before the introduction of the brand-new 410 Express Fisherman late last year, Albermarle's site was bursting at the seams, with additions to the original warehouse putting 45,000 square feet under roof.
To set up production for the new model, Harrell acquired a larger waterfront site just east of Edenton and renovated what will become a sprawling 100,000-square-foot complex to house production for Albemarle's entire line. And to make sure the yard has an adequate pool of skilled labor, Albemarle is working with a local college to develop an academic program in boatbuilding technology. With these expansions the builder will bring in-house many functions that were formerly done by contractors, like upholstery and welding services.
One process on the 410 Albemarle still contracts out is fabrication of molds for the hull, decks, and cockpit liner. The contractor used a large five-axis, computer-controlled milling machine to cut full-size mold surfaces, eliminating the need for full-scale lofting and streamlining the labor-intensive task of fabricating hull molds. Albemarle engaged Donald L. Blount and Associates to develop the hull form and refine the running surfaces and to produce the computer files used to drive the machine that builds the molds.

The final spectacle in yesterday's Inaugural Parade was none other than NASA's Lunar Electric Rover. STS-126 crew and Expedition 17/18 engineer Greg Chamitoff all strode by, waving to the crowds, followed by the LER concept vehicle.
The driver, four-time Shuttle vet Michael Gernhardt, completed a "crab crawl" in front of the new presidential couple, who were grinning like all get out as space-walker Rex Walheim demonstrated how astronauts will undock from "spacesuit ports" on the moon. His port-mate, young Barbara Janoiko-Romig, waved cheerily to screaming onlookers as Rex saluted, then marched ahead of the vehicle, finishing the route carrying the stars & stripes.
The compact 12-wheeler can shelter two astronauts for two weeks, and is designed for both longevity and low-maintenance. In addition to moving sideways, it can also climb (slopes up to 40 degrees) and "kneel" forward so inhabitants of the glass cockpit may examine lunar objects without leaving the pressurized environment.
Remember the post about how regolith gets into everything? Those aft ports are designed to hold the suits outside, keeping moon dust out of the cabin. They are also much easier to get into and out of, cutting space-walk preparation time to a mere 10 minutes.
Again for the hardcore among us, here is a longer video of the rover assembly process by the JSC designers & robotic engineers.
Ain't that a piece of hardware!

Fox's Bolling Crops Feinstein Footage To Falsely Label Her A Hypocrite On Guns
Blog ››› ››› EMILY ARROWOOD
Fox News' Eric Bolling selectively cropped footage of Sen. Dianne Feinstein discussing her proposed ban on assault weapons in an attempt to claim she flip-flopped on gun control.
On The Five, the co-hosts took up the topic of Feinstein's new proposed legislation to ban semi-automatic assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips. Bolling aired a one sentence from Feinstein's press conference introducing the assault weapons ban, in which she said, "Our weak gun laws allow these mass killings to be carried out again and again and again in our country." Bolling then claimed, "But the senator wasn't always so anti-gun." The next video showed Feinstein in 1995 testifying before the Senate, in which she explained she once carried a concealed weapon for self-defense after being targeted by terrorists.
Bolling declared that this was "a perfect example of political hypocrisy."
A look at Feinstein's full press conference disproves Bolling's claim. In the portion of her remarks Bolling chose not to air, Feinstein emphasized (at about 5:25 in the video): "[In the bill] we have tried to recognize legal hunting rights. We have tried to recognize legal defense rights. We have tried to recognize the right of a citizen to legally possess a weapon. No weapon is taken from anyone. The purpose is to dry up the supply of these weapons over time.
Feinstein has often expressed support for stronger gun laws while supporting an individual's right to possess some firearms in self-defense. She authored the 1994 assault weapons ban, one year before her Senate testimony where she described carrying a firearm to defend herself and her family. In a San Francisco Chronicle op-ed in July, Feinstein reiterated this position:
Let me be clear: If an individual wants to purchase a weapon for hunting or self-defense, I support that right.
But a semiautomatic assault rifle with a 100-round ammo drum - or a handgun with a 30-round magazine like the one used to shoot former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in Arizona - has but one purpose: to kill as many people as possible in as short a time as possible.
I challenge anyone who claims that prohibiting the purchase of military style assault weapons infringes on American freedoms.
Notably, Bolling is not the only Fox figure to selectively edit Feinstein's remarks on the assault weapons ban at her press conference.

Herald staff
MARYSVILLE — School officials plan two meetings during which people can comment about the search for a new school district superintendent.
Marysville School District Superintendent Larry Nyland plans to retire at the end of this school year.
Officials are asking parents of the district's 11,000 students, people in the community and organizations with partnerships with the school district to attend the meetings to learn more about the process of searching for, recruiting and hiring a new superintendent.
The meetings are to be held 7 p.m. Tuesday and 6 p.m. Thursday, both in the district's service center board room, 4220 80th St. NE.
The school board has hired Northwest Leadership Associates for $15,000 to assist in the search, but people who live in the school district are asked to assist the board in deciding what should be considered when interviewing candidates.
Nyland, 64, is finishing up his ninth year as the superintendent of the Marysville School District and his 42nd year as an educator. Nyland makes $165,690 a year.
He was hired as superintendent in the summer of 2004. The district had experienced a 49-day teacher strike in fall 2003 and enrollment numbers and district budgets were suffering. Since then, Nyland had a hand in increasing the graduation rate and urging voters to approve school levies and bonds that helped build Grove Elementary School and Marysville Getchell High School.
Nyland said he believes the district is in a good place for a new leader.
An online survey regarding the search for a new superintendent is available on the district website at www.msvl.k12.wa.us.
For more information on the search process, contact Jodi Runyon at email@example.com or call 360-653-0800.

Stories published in recent weeks include a guide to Utah's exchange, a consumer primer on the ACA, a look at uninsured young adults and their obligations under the law and an analysis of how the law is affecting small business.
We've looked at what you'll pay under Utah's exchange and reported on the enrollment period's rocky start.
In addition, through our Trib Talk video chats at sltrib.com, Jennifer Napier-Pearce has provided live access to experts answering questions on many of these topics.
Napier-Pearce also will moderate and take questions during Wednesday's town hall, which will be broadcast live on KCPW and at sltrib.com.
Panelists include Rep. Jim Dunnigan, R-Taylorsville; Jason Stevenson of the Utah Health Policy Project; Celia Nash of Team Nash Insurance; and Nathan Checketts of the Utah Department of Health.
You can send questions in advance to email@example.com or simply show up and participate. Town hall
The Salt Lake Tribune and KCPW will co-sponsor a town hall meeting on the Affordable Care Act at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Main Library auditorium. Jennifer Napier-Pearce will moderate a discussion with a panel of experts, who also will address questions.

Presented by L.A. Zine Fest
Before there was the L.A. Zine Fest, there was Team False Start. We wrote that mission statement back in February 2011. Since then, we've been fortunate enough to conduct workshops at Meltdown Comics, the Rock 'N' Roll Camp for Girls, the Craft and Folk Art Museum, Renegade Craft Fair, Patchwork, and Unique L.A. Through the generosity of friends and like-minded folks, and with a little help from a very successful Kickstarter campaign, we were able to raise enough money to make this dream a reality. On February 19, 2012, over 1200 people attended the first annual L.A. Zine Fest.
Thank you Los Angeles!


text: Josh Elliott is leaving Good Morning America effective as you read this. Amy Robach is the new news anchor on the morning program after the network refused to pay Josh what he thought he was worth. Apparently he was making a little over $1M annually and wanted a raise to $10M. ABC felt like they didn't need him that much so he is leaving the show for NBC Sports where he will kick himself everyday. Even though he has a month left on his contract ABC replaced him this morning and forever with Amy Robach who filled in for Robin Roberts during her six month absence from the show. I think this is a good move by ABC. Josh is popular but is he the reason people tune in and watch? The news anchors to me are fairly interchangeable. It is the hosts that get people to watch and I don't think Josh is worth $10M a year. At NBC Sports he is going to do some work for their Sunday night football show and the Olympics and Triple Crown racing, so basically he won't be nearly as visible as a daily M-F gig in front of millions of people. The good news is can sleep in.

Swedes hold hard to traditions and the calendar is dotted with beloved, quintessentially Swedish events such as Valborgsmässoafton (Walpurgis Night) and Luciadagen (Lucia Day); both great opportunities for visitors to dabble in Swedishness. The calendar isn't all age-old tradition, though; there are plenty of events with a more contemporary flavour – for example the Pride celebrations and Re:Orientfestivalen – and the festival scene in Stockholm continues to diversify each year.
When: 6 June
Sweden's National Day became a bank holiday in 2005. It celebrates Gustav Vasa's election as King of Sweden on 6 June 1523 and the adoption of a new constitution on the same date in 1809. If you want a glimpse of the royal family in their traditional blue-and-yellow folk costumes, visit the open-air Skansen museum, where, since 1916, the King of Sweden has presented flags on this day to representatives of various organisations and charities.
When: Friday closest to 24 June
The longest day of the year has been revered in Scandinavia since the days of pagan ritual. Modern Swedes flock to summer cottages and Stockholmers set sail for quiet coves in the archipelago to commemorate this festive feast to fertility. Women and men in traditional dress dance around the flower-decorated maypole. After the dancing and family games a meal of marinated herring is washed down with spiced aquavit. It's said that if an unmarried girl picks seven different flower types and puts them under her pillow on Midsummer Eve, she will dream of her future husband.
Where: Tantolunden, Södermalm
When: 1wk in July/Aug
Website: www.stockholmpride.org
Since its birth in 1998, Stockholm Pride Week has grown into one of the city's largest festivals, and the biggest gay Pride celebration in Scandinavia, with five days of partying, plus debates and entertainment. The heart of the action is the large open space of Tantolunden park on the island of Södermalm. The festival includes art exhibitions, debates, films, parties and, on the Saturday, the big parade.
Where: Skansen
When: early-end Dec
Skansen's Christmas market – one of the biggest in Sweden and dating back to 1903 – is held at weekends throughout December until Christmas Eve (the only day Skansen is closed). Look out for Swedish craft products, traditional Christmas ornaments made of straw, hand-dipped candles, sweets (including polkagris, oversized red and white striped peppermint sticks) and Christmas fare such as smoked sausage, eel, salmon, pepparkakor (gingersnaps), glögg (mulled wine) and saffron buns.
Where: around Stcokholm
When: 13 Dec
Among the best-known of Sweden's festivals, Lucia is celebrated in mid-December, in the heart of the winter darkness. The Lutheran Swedes adopted the Sicilian St Lucia because Lucia is connected with lux, the Latin for light. All over Sweden, a procession of singers, dressed in white, full-length chemises with red ribbons around their waists, are led by a woman dressed as Lucia, with a crown of lit candles on her head.
When: Mar/Apr
For many Swedes, Easter's greatest significance is getting a four-day weekend, well timed to polish up the boat, shake the cobwebs off the summer cottage or tidy up the garden. Still, the painting and eating of eggs is a hallowed tradition at the Easter smörgåsbord, along with salmon and pickled herring prepared in endlessly creative ways. On Maundy Thursday or Easter Saturday, young girls dress up and paint themselves as Easter witches, and then go around begging sweets from generous neighbours, giving hand-drawn Easter cards in exchange. This custom recalls an old northern European superstition that witches flew off to dance with the devil on the Blåkulla (Blue Mountain) at this time of year.
Where: throughout the city
When: 30 Apr
Ancient pagan custom dictates that Swedes light bonfires on the last night of April to protect themselves against witches gathering to worship the devil. Today the celebration marks the end of winter and the coming of spring, and the bonfire is usually accompanied by choral singing. Walpurgis Night is celebrated all over Sweden, but for visitors to Stockholm the place to be is either the open-air Skansen museum, where fireworks add extra sparkle to the evening's festivities, or Evert Taubes Terras on Riddarholmen.
Where: throughout the city
When: 1 May
If you happen to be in Stockholm on May Day, you'll probably run into marchers waving banners in Sergels Torg and other large squares throughout the city. The first of May has been celebrated in various ways since 1890. In the early 19th century, May Day was a hugely popular festival in Djurgården park and featured a royal procession. By the late 19th century, though, it had turned into a rally of industrial workers. It's a lot more low-key these days, but it's still an important event for left-wing Stockholmers. Due to the cold weather, there's no maypole dancing – that's saved for Midsummer.
Where: location varies, check website for details
When: May
Tel & website: 450 2610/www.tjejtrampet.com
Given that Stockholm is such a bicycle-friendly city, it makes sense that it should host the world's largest women-only bicycle race. Since the first race in 1990, some 80,000 women have cycled the 42km (26-mile) course. It is open to cyclists of all levels. Teenage girls and grandmothers pedal side-by-side in a show of female unity and a spirit of friendly competition.
Where: parks throughout the city
When: June-Aug daily
Tel & website: 506 20 284/www.stadsteatern.stockholm.se
There's been free outdoor theatre in Stockholm's parks since 1942, and many performances can be enjoyed by non-Swedish speakers, such as circus shows, music concerts, modern and classical dance. There are workshops on everything from playing steel drums to klezmer or Swedish folk dance.
Where: Tyska Brinken 13, Gamla Stan
When: early June
Tel & website: 070 460 03 90/www.semf.se
This four-day event attracts an impressive roster of established and new artistic talent from Sweden and Europe performing a programme of music from the Middle Ages, Renaissance and baroque periods. The festival takes place in Gamla Stan.
Where: start point: Lidingövägen, Hjorthagen
When: Sat in early June
Tel & website: 54 56 64 40/www.marathon.se
Few cities can match the beauty of this marathon route, which takes runners along waterside Strandvägen, Norrmälarstränd and Skeppsbron. Head for Lidingövägen to watch the runners take off, or if you want to be ready to glimpse the winner at the finish line, position yourself at Stockholms Stadion on Vallhallavägen.
Where: Strömkajen, Norrmalm
When: 1st Wed in June
Tel: 662 89 02
If the idea of travelling on one of Stockholm's old-fashioned steamboats appeals, there's no better day to do it than Archipelago Boat Day. A parade of steam-driven vessels make their way from Strömkajen to Vaxholm in the early evening. For those who don't catch a ride, good places to view the boats are Strömkajen, Skeppsholmen, Kastellholmen and Fåfängen. The boats arriving in Vaxholm are greeted by live music and an outdoor market; visitors have a couple of hours to explore Vaxholm before returning to Stockholm.
When: 6 June
Sweden's National Day became a bank holiday in 2005. It celebrates Gustav Vasa's election as King of Sweden on 6 June 1523 and the adoption of a new constitution on the same date in 1809. If you want a glimpse of the royal family in their traditional blue-and-yellow folk costumes, visit the open-air Skansen museum, where, since 1916, the King of Sweden has presented flags on this day to representatives of various organisations and charities.

It's said that if an unmarried girl picks seven different flower types and puts them under her pillow on Midsummer Eve, she will dream of her future husband.
Where: Stockholm University, Frescati
When: end of June
Website: www.acceleratorfestivalen.se
The end of the month brings another Frescati festival, the two-day event featuring bands from as far afield as the US and Brazil, plus several UK acts.
Where: Södra Teatern, Mosebacketorg 1-3, Södermalm
When: 2nd wk in Aug
Tel & website: 702 15 99/www.reorient.se
Stockholm takes on a multicultural flavour during this annual festival, bringing together artists from the Middle East, northern Africa, India and Europe to perform at Södra Teatern on Södermalm. During the four-day festival, there's a bazaar selling crafts, clothes and food and, in the evenings, festival-goers can sit back and smoke a Turkish water pipe at the Oum bar or dance at the Re:Orient Club. A lecture series adds some intellectual weight to this laid-back festival.
Where: Rålambshovsparken, Kungsholmen
When: mid June
Tel & website: 714 04 20/www.mayo.se
Boules, or pétanques as aficionados call it, has a long history in Sweden, particularly with upper-class seniors, but a group of boules-crazy folk breathed new life into the sport by launching northern Europe's largest boules festival in 1994. The name, La Mayonnaise (or Mayo for short), is a jibe at the world's largest boules festival, La Marseillaise, in France. But there's nothing stuffy about this crowd-pleasing festival, which organises friendly competitions for work colleagues, seniors and rookies, as well as more serious contests between the official international teams.
Where: Skeppsholmen
When: 1wk mid July
Tel & website: 55 61 45 64/55 69 24 40/tickets 07 71 70 70 70/ www.stockholmjazz.com
The Stockholm Jazz Festival in July is one of Sweden's premier live music festivals, pulling in some top-rate international artists (Steely Dan in 2007). The main site on the island of Skeppsholmen couldn't be more picturesque; other venues include Konserthus, and stages in Kungsträdgården, Mosebacke Etablissement and Fasching. Some 30,000 spectators come to listen to more than 40 concerts featuring jazz, soul, blues and more.
Where: Tantolunden, Södermalm
When: 1wk in July/Aug
Website: www.stockholmpride.org
Since its birth in 1998, Stockholm Pride Week has grown into one of the city's largest festivals, and the biggest gay Pride celebration in Scandinavia, with five days of partying, plus debates and entertainment. The heart of the action is the large open space of Tantolunden park on the island of Södermalm. The festival includes art exhibitions, debates, films, parties and, on the Saturday, the big parade.
Where: Uppsala
When: 1st wk Aug
Website: www.uppsalareggaefestival.se
Reggae is a Swedish summer favourite, and this festival just north of Stockholm in the first week of August, is the largest reggae festival in Scandinavia. It has featured artists such as legendary Bob Marley sideman Bunny Wailer and dancehall star Beenie Man. It's as close as you'll get to the Notting Hill Carnival this near the Arctic Circle.
Where: start: Ringvägen
When: mid Aug
Tel & website: 649 71 71/www.midnattsloppet.com
This popular night-time race, which has been going for over 23 years, could only be possible in the land of the midnight sun. More than 16,000 runners of all ages navigate a 10km (six-mile) course around Södermalm. But it's much more than a race – and some 200,000 spectators get in on the act with loud cheering, asphalt-pounding enthusiasm, music and partying. To catch the starting gun, position yourself at Ringvägen, just south of the Zinkensdamm athletics field, at 10pm and then wait for the first runners to cross the finish line at Hornsgatan, not far from the starting point.
Where: Stockholm University, Frescati
When: Sept
Website: www.popdakar.nu
Small, intimate and free, Pop Dakar is held at Frescati and marks the end of the festival season.
Where: around Lidingö
When: weekend in late Sept-early Oct
Tel & website: 765 26 15/www.lidingoloppet.se
The world's biggest cross-country race has become a tradition for Swedes and runners from all over the world, drawn to the beautiful scenery and the challenging course. The first Lidingöloppet was held in 1965, and every year thousands of runners from some 30 different countries pass the finish line on Grönsta Gärde.
Where: Kungliga Tennishallen, Lidingövägen 75, Norra Djurgården
When: Oct
Tel & website: 450 26 25/www.stockholmopen.se
This prestigious tennis tournament was the brain-child of veteran tennis star Sven Davidson. In 1969 he received a letter from American colleagues asking him to arrange a competition in Sweden with tennis pros and amateurs from all over the world. The event was televised from the start, thus drawing a huge worldwide audience, along with 40,000 spectators each year, and has earned accolades as one of the most well-organised tournaments in Europe.
Where: various venues around Stockholm
When: mid Nov
Tel & website: 677 50 00/www.filmfestivalen.se
As the leading competitive film festival in northern Europe, the ten-day Stockholm Film Festival is aimed at launching young filmmakers and broadening the forum for innovative high-quality films in Scandinavia. It might not be Cannes, but the festival attracts some big names: past guests have included Dennis Hopper, Quentin Tarantino, the Coen brothers and Lars von Trier.
When: Dec
You can tell Christmas is approaching when you start to spot the Advent candles or Advent stars (made of straw, wood or metal) hanging in the windows of homes, shops and offices. Nearly every home has an Advent candlestick, usually a little box with four candle-holders nestled in moss and lingonberry sprigs. The first candle is lit on the First Sunday of Advent and allowed to burn down only one quarter, so that it won't burn out before the fourth candle is lit.
Where: Skansen
When: early-end Dec
Skansen's Christmas market – one of the biggest in Sweden and dating back to 1903 – is held at weekends throughout December until Christmas Eve (the only day Skansen is closed). Look out for Swedish craft products, traditional Christmas ornaments made of straw, hand-dipped candles, sweets (including polkagris, oversized red and white striped peppermint sticks) and Christmas fare such as smoked sausage, eel, salmon, pepparkakor (gingersnaps), glögg (mulled wine) and saffron buns.
Where: Konserthuset, Hötorget, Norrmalm & Stadshuset, Hantverkargatan 1, Kungsholmen
When: 10 Dec
Tel & website: Nobel Foundation 663 09 20/www.nobel.se
The year's Nobel Prize laureates are honoured in a ceremony at Konserthuset (Concert Hall). In the evening, the royal family attends a banquet at Stadshuset (City Hall). Tickets for this glittering affair are coveted by Stockholmers, but they are usually only granted to the privileged few, though 250 of the 1,300 seats are reserved for lucky students. The rest have to be content with watching the proceedings on television and sighing over the fabulous menu, prepared by a top Stockholm chef.
Where: around Stcokholm
When: 13 Dec
Among the best-known of Sweden's festivals, Lucia is celebrated in mid-December, in the heart of the winter darkness. The Lutheran Swedes adopted the Sicilian St Lucia because Lucia is connected with lux, the Latin for light. All over Sweden, a procession of singers, dressed in white, full-length chemises with red ribbons around their waists, are led by a woman dressed as Lucia, with a crown of lit candles on her head.
Where: around Stcokholm
When: 24-26 Dec
The main celebration is at home, held on Christmas Eve (though restaurants all over the city offer the traditional, overflowing Julbord or smörgåsbord for most of December). A traditional Julbord ('Christmas table') is typically eaten in three stages. You start with various types of herring and salmon, then move on to the meats (meatballs, sausages and ham), accompanied by 'Jansson's Temptation' – an anchovy, potato and cream casserole. You polish it all off with a sweet berry-filled pastry. Later in the evening, rice porridge is eaten. Tradition has it that finding the hidden almond in the porridge means you're destined to marry within the year. Christmas Day itself is usually a quiet day.
Where: around Stcokholm
When: 31 Dec
The New Year's Eve celebration in Sweden is a public and raucous contrast to the quiet and private Christmas festivities. Visitors can join the crowds at Skansen, where New Year's Eve has been celebrated every year since 1895. At the stroke of midnight, a well-known Swede reads Tennyson's 'Ring Out, Wild Bells'. Throughout the city, crowds fill the streets, feasting on seafood at various restaurants and moving from one club or bar to another. At the stroke of midnight, streamers and party trumpets accompany the sound of fireworks.
Where: Sollentunamässan, Sollentuna
When: 4 days in early Apr
Website: www.sollentunaexpo.com/eng
At the beginning of April, the Swedish art industry gets together for four intense days. Everyone's there – art students, artists, gallery owners, dealers, curators, critics and visitors – and events include seminars, talks and meetings, as well as the opportunity just to enjoy the art.
On public holidays, virtually all shops, banks and offices, and many restaurants and bars, are closed. Banks are also closed the day before a public holiday. Public transport runs a limited service on Christmas and New Year's Day.
