Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College baseball team received commitments from Eric Renegar, Hunter Yarborough and Stephen Joshua Case during the early signing period this past week.
Renegar (Stuart, Va.), a middle infielder, comes to the Tornados from Patrick County High School where he played under head coach Terry Harris. Renegar, who also lettered in golf and basketball, set the new Patrick County High School season batting average record by hitting .547 in his junior season, breaking the record of his older brother and former Brevard baseball player, Kirk Renegar.
Academically, Renegar is in the Beta Club and is ranked eighth in his class with a 4.10 GPA.
Yarborough (Gastonia, N.C.) is an infielder from Ashbrook High School where he played under head coach Guy Spader. Yarborough is a two-sport athlete for the Green Wave, lettering two year in football as well as playing baseball. He was listed in the USSSA Greatest Players Book and had the highest batting average on the team in his freshman year.
Yarborough is the Honor Society President at Ashbrook as well as being on the National Honor Roll, in the Beta Club and a member of Civitans.
Case (Charlotte, N.C.) comes to the team from Ardrey Kell High School where he is a corner infielder and pitcher under head coach Hal Bagwell.
The Brevard baseball team finished 10-38 in 2008 as NCAA Division II and South Atlantic Conference provisional members.

Anybody know where I could go for a decent used board here in wilmington.

Anybody know where I could go for a decent used board here in wilmington.
go to the local surf shops they all have used boards of any size. Also you could try ebay.
If you are board ignorant, go see the guys @ Sweetwater - they will hook you up with the right board at the right price. If you have some board and local break knowledge, check out craigslist. If you don't see a board on the ILM listings, check out the Raleigh and Fayetteville listings. Might be worth a little drive to find the right ride.
sweetwater could hook you up for new boards. But for used go look at the local shops. But it also depends on how much you are willing to pay. Also there's a local dude named mike who buy's tons of used boards and sells them on ebay but i wouldnt buy from him. I did and he ripped me off. But it just depends on your budget.
Aussie island and Hot wax have some cheap used boards, surf city 's used selection seems a little more expensive but still good deals. Aussie does good trade ins too. i bought a Raynor from surf city for 300, broke the nose, put a hole in the deck, fixed it and traded it to aussie island for 250...stoked.
whats the deal with this mike dude, i contacted him about getting a board and he definately seemed sketch. How did he rip you off?
he wanted 350 for a used funboard that was all dented it had a ding that needed to be fixed. But i still bought the board cause i needed it bad.
that mike dude was gonna sell me a board, and I was getting ripped off and I was like "dude chill out your squashin my balls here!" and he gave it to me for free. try it.

Local children will soon be falling head over heels for Fishin' For Pickles.
This month, a father-daughter duo from New Ross will be bringing their infectious original kid tunes to Windsor.
Jamie Junger and his seven-year-old daughter, Sadie, are slated to perform Jan. 19 at 11 a.m. at Mermaid Imperial Theatre.
Junger said the reaction to their CD, which was released in November 2011, has been a pleasant surprise.
"I've been playing music for quite a long time and putting out CDs and touring... and I've never, ever had the feedback that this one is generating," said Junger, who toured the Canadian music scene during the 80s and 90s with The Wingnut's and Bob's Your Uncle.
"Parents are telling me that the kids love it and it's not driving them crazy, which is a compliment," said Junger.
The music is fun and whimsical. With songs like The Underwear Song and Hay Is For Horses, Cows Like It Too, the music features lyrics that children can easily relate to — and sing along with.
"Sadie and I wrote the CD together, and I also wrote it with a couple other kids," said Junger. "I teach music as a living to kids and I got help from some of my students on these songs. Some of them were their ideas and some of it was a collaboration."
The Jan. 19 show will be about 40 minutes long.
"When she was about three or four we started writing songs and she was right into that aspect of it, loved rhyming words and thinking of ridiculous topics and just being silly and having fun with it," said Junger.
Like any upcoming star, Sadie occasionally doesn't feel like putting on a show. But, Junger said, the duo has a pact. If she committed to performing before an audience, she has to follow through.
"She goes between really loving performing and not being too sure about it. But generally, she's really quite into it and we're just trying to ride that line," he said.
Junger said his talented adopted daughter plays the harmonica on one song as well as sings along with him to the other original hits.
The show is intended for children between the ages of two and 12. Tickets cost $10 for adults, $8 for children.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
What does a wine shop need beside great selection? How about cheese, gourmet foods, a knowledgeable staff, a non-pretentious setting, and occasionally a nice selection of liquor? That's Hollywood Vine. Trying to purchase the perfect bottle and have no one to share it with? Grab the hottie who just walked through the door, uncork the bottle you just bought, move over to their comfy seating area, and strike up a conversation. Like to try the grape before you buy? They have free tastings every Tuesday from 6 to 9 p.m. Can't find the bottle you want in their 600 selections? Proprietors Steven and Luciano are more than happy to find it for you — and they deliver.
We thought we'd never find another shrimp dish to so thoroughly amuse our bouches after Florence Fabricant's classic entry in our dog-eared copy of The Silver Palate Cookbook — until we stumbled into Bonefish Grill and ordered their "Saucy Gulf Shrimp." Here's an appeteaser to jostle any cynic from apathy, a balance of sharp and savory to spur the flagging appetite and rouse failed expectations; priced at $7.90 and generous enough to share, it's satisfying but not satiating. Bonefish, a homegrown Florida chain we can confidently brag about, now serves this concoction as far north as Jersey, but the magic in the brew's consistent: juicy Gulf shrimp sautéed in butter with slivers of sun-dried tomato and kalamata olives, tossed around in a lime, tomato, garlic, cream, and white wine sauce — with more butter. That's topped with a little feta and a handful of parsley. Bonefish ought to offer a guarantee: Mop up every drop or your money back.
Argentina has given the world soccer star Diego Maradona and power broker Eva Peron, but neither were as satisfying as Beefeater. First, it's good for your taste buds: the savory flavors of South America fill your mouth. Then it's good for your hunger: entrees like the egantic (that is, bigger than ginormous) churrasco will fill you up with plenty left for a meal the next day. Perhaps even better is the price. You can start with empanadas or grilled provolone; move on to a steak covered with rich, bright-green chimichurri sauce; and finish with panqueque con dulce de leche, a crepe made with caramel and powdered sugar and flambéed with rum, and you still won't break the 20-dollar mark. Lunch specials get you a steak, salad, and drink for under $10. Around dinnertime the restaurant gets crowded, but complimentary drinks and the people-watching on Hollywood Boulevard help pass the time.
You can't find EveryBurger everywhere. If you could just stop at any corner store and pick up a pack of the delicious little Japanese cookies that masquerade as itty-bitty burgers, you'd at least spend less on gas. But our convenience stores will never be that cool. To find the best imported Asian treats, you have to go to Sasaya Japanese Market. In addition to inexpensive to-go sushi (the priciest roll is $7.50), Sasaya offers one-stop shopping for wasabi peas, lucky cat wallets, and kitchen supplies; plus extra-fancy, extra-spicy ramen noodles, and assorted sakes and curry pastes.
It's not just about the bagels. You want a place that evokes the old-time Lower East Side, with wise, gabby people exchanging gossip or leafing through the New York papers as they eat their bagels, typically with a schmear of cream cheese and a slice of nova. This brings us to East Side Bagel & Deli, a modest little restaurant in a commercial strip near the Galt Ocean Mile. The display case is always full of bagels, and they're just the right consistency (chewy, not bready or — heaven forbid — rock-like). There's lots of talk and a friendly staff to serve a full breakfast or lunch, or just your favorite round ones (sesame seed, poppy seed, egg, plain, you get the idea). New owner Kevin Spence says that, when it comes to bagels, he's got a tough, seasoned crowd, many of them from New York. "They know what they're eating," Spence says. And they come back for more. In fairness, most of East Side Deli's bagels are prepared at Bagelmania, where they know a thing or two about baking bagels. No, says Denise Jimenez, the Bagelmania boss' wife, it's not the water (the usual excuse for why you can't get a good bagel outside of New York). "You mix the dough, then you let it sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours," she says. "That's the secret. If you don't let it sit, it doesn't come out right."
Want to know how to spot good barbeque? It's not just the smell — though if the air outside is perfumed by the sugary scent of wood smoke, you're in good shape. Nor is it the queue out front — people still line up to get McDonalds. The secret is in the grill man. Take a look at the guy: Does he have an innate connection to the meat? Can he just stare at a pork shoulder, smokin' away above the coals, and commune with its innermost fleshiness? Does he look as much a part of the place as the ancient oven that he mans, his face wrinkled and hardened from years of staring into the pit? That's the guy I want cooking my 'que. At the 55-year-old landmark Georgia Pig, that man is owner Wayne Anderson, and he turns out the most deeply smoked, immaculately rich BBQ you'll find in South Florida. The chopped pork — oh my God, the chopped pork — is infused with hickory and tumbled into layers of crunchy skin bristling with bacon-ized pork fat and succulent bits of tender, reddened flesh. The Pig's sauce, a water-thin spritz of vinegar and spices, serves only to enhance the flavor of the meat, not mask it with sickly syrups or bombastic tomatoes. You'll also find killer brisket, unctuous ribs (check out the smoke ring), authentic Brunswick stew, and decadent banana pudding. Be sure to thank the grill man on your way out.

Road to nowhere
My favorite poem has always been The Road Not Taken (see below) by Robert Frost. I always thought it meant that taking the more challenging path, the less traveled path, is what distinguished the traveler. And, being that I have always taken the less traveled path in life, I identified with this. I was the black sheep of my family. I was a rebel carving my own way in life. I even used the words Yellow Wood as part of my company name, out of respect for this poem.
Recently I did a little research and it appears that my previous interpretation of Robert Frost's chef-d'ouvre is not correct. The point of the poem is in the line Though as for that the passing there had worn them really about the same which basically means it was no different than the other path. They were both equally worn. So it was only in my perception, and the perception of the traveler in Robert Frost's poem, that the road was grassy and wanted wear.

BREVARD, N.C.-The Brevard College baseball team erupted for five runs in the 1st and three more in the 4th on their way to an 8-3 win over the North Greenville Crusaders at Gil Coan Field on Tuesday afternoon.
Back-to-back singles and a hit batsman loaded the bases for BC with no outs to get things started in the top of the 1st. Eric Eric Renegar, who reached on an infield single, scored on a wild pitch to tie the game at 1-1 after NGU scored in the top of the 1st.
Brock Helton later made it 2-1 with a sacrifice fly to score Proffitt, who singled through the left side behind Renegar.
Tyler Tant's two-run single to right put BC in front 4-1 before Blaine Durham capped the inning with an RBI double to right.
The Tornados added three insurance runs in the 4th on a North Greenville fielding error that allowed two runs to score and a John Slade RBI single up the middle.
North Greenville scored an unearned run against BC starter Hunter Donaldson (W, 2-1) in the top of the 1st before the righty shut the Crusaders out for the next five innings. Dustin Haithcox and Bennett Hixson each threw a scoreless inning in relief before NGU got to Chad Fisher for two runs (one earned) in the 9th.
The Tornados resume South Atlantic Conference play as they host the Lenoir-Rhyne Bears for a three-game series this weekend at Gil Coan Field. The first pitch of the opener is set for 3 p.m. on Friday.

(SportsNetwork.com) - Arizona forward Brandon Ashley will miss the remainder of the season with a foot injury he suffered in Saturday's loss to Cal.
It was the first loss of the season for the top-ranked Wildcats, who will now go the rest of the way without their third-leading scorer and rebounder.
Arizona coach Sean Miller said in a statement released to media outlets that Miller was done for the season.
"While we're all disappointed, we are also aware that Brandon needs our support and positive energy surrounding him," Miller said. "Someone once told me, the hottest heat forges the strongest steel. This adversity will ultimately make Brandon and our team stronger moving forward."
Ashley suffered the injury just 2:08 into the game after he missed a shot in the lane and went up for the rebound. He limped off the court to the locker room and came back to the bench for the second half in a walking boot.
The 6-foot-8 sophomore was averaging 11.5 points and 5.8 rebounds in 22 games.

By David Krueger and Aaron Lommers Herald Writers
Lynsey Amundson
Arlington, Sr., C
With a lot of the attention on the return of Arlington's star pitcher, Ronnie Ladines, her battery mate has also had a huge season for the Eagles. Amundson, who has been catching for Ladines since Little League, is another key part of Arlington's success this year.
"She's hitting about .430. She's caught every game. She's the backstop for the team," said Arlington head coach Dan Eng.
Amundson has 22 RBI this season and 12 doubles, according to Eng. The return of Ladines to the lineup has helped give the Eagles a batting order that no team is excited about facing.
Behind the plate, Eng lets Amundson call her own games. The first-year Arlington coach is back after retiring from the job about three years ago, which happened to be Amundson's — and Ladines' — freshman year.
"And they were a force then," Eng said.
Trysten Melhart
Snohomish, Jr., OF
The Panthers junior can do just about anything. She set the school record last season batting .556 and followed that up this season by crushing her own record, finishing the regular season with a .682 average. Head coach Lou Kennedy said at one point about halfway through the season, Melhart's average was so high that she went 3-for-4 in a game and her average actually dropped. She has developed into a player that can hit for power in the gaps or a slap hitter that can reach base with her incredible speed (Melhart leads the team in steals and the league in triples).
"She came in her freshman year and she blew up the hitting record (at Snohomish) by about 100 points," Kennedy said. "Can she repeat? Yeah. The next year she broke it by another hundred and this year it looks like it is going to go to another hundred. She just keeps getting better."
Anna Pisac
Snohomish, Sr., OF
As a senior, Pisac is the leader on the Panthers. Kennedy said she has earned the respect and admiration of her teammates, who follow her lead. Pisac compliments her teammate Trysten Melhart well, hitting for both power and average. She enters the postseason with a .525 average and like Melhart has no errors in the Panthers' outstanding outfield. "Bottom line is Anna is the absolute leader — mentally, physically; the girls would follow her off a cliff," Kennedy said, "She is absolutely the one that everyone turns to, not just for bit hits or big events, but for the mental side."
Haley Fritz
Marysville Pilchuck, Sr., P
Haley Fritz's senior year wasn't quite what she expected. The senior co-captain envisioned her final year at Marysville Pilchuck playing shortstop, her preferred position.
But Tomahawks' coach Aaron Zachry, desperate for a pitcher after the graduation of Moncia Clow, had something else in mind.
"We graduated our pitcher last year so she's stepped up and took the ball and pitched for us," Zachry said. "We had a sit down at the beginning of the season and told her where we were at. … She didn't want to pitch. She's a shortstop and that's what she wanted to do. She said, 'I don't want to pitch. But if this team needs me to pitch, I'll pitch as much as you need me to.' I was really proud of her for that."
So Fritz, who hadn't pitched since eighth grade, took the mound. She went 9-4 with a 2.71 earned-run average and 88 strikeouts. Fritz has also had a strong season at the plate, finishing with a .609 average with 10 doubles and two home runs and a slugging percentage over 1.000.
Makinlee Sellevold
Cascade, Jr., P
On a team that finished the year 18-2 it's hard to pick one player who stood out above the rest. Makinlee Sellevold has made that a bit easier for this year's Cascade team, which finished first in Wesco South 4A.
Offensively, Sellevold shined with a .556 batting average, 14 doubles, five home runs, 30 RBI and 21 runs scored. She leads the team with 10 stolen bases and has only struck out once. It's a far cry from the batters she faces while pitching, who have fanned 149 times while the junior has gone 15-2 on the mound.
"She's been vital to the team," said Bruins' head coach Kelly Ross. "Obviously, they all pull it together, but she's leading the team offensively and defensively with pitching. She's taken us a long way so far. Hopefully, that continues into the end of the month."
Sellevold is one of eight juniors on the Cascade team that has played together for most of their young careers. Ross said that bond has helped the team be successful.
"It makes the team that much closer," Ross said.
Alyssa Reuble
Meadowdale, Sr., P
The Mavericks senior has been one of the most dominant pitchers in the area this season. She posted a 16-2 record with a 1.94 earned run average and 118 strikeouts versus just 10 walks this season.
Not only is she one of the better pitchers, but she is also one of the most dangerous hitters in Wesco 3A, leading the league in doubles with 15.
Mavericks head coach Dennis Hopkins said her desire and determination is what makes Reuble, who has committed to Seattle University, the player she is. "Everything she does is team oriented, but she truly wants to be the best that she can be," Hopkins said. "She is a true leader and treats everybody equally no matter if they are a junior sophomore or freshman. They are all equal in her eyes."

Busy beavers can get a lot of work done, but sick beavers require around-the-clock attention.
DaLyn Erickson and volunteers at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah in Ogden have been spending up to 16 hours a day caring for six beavers exposed to diesel when a Chevron Pipe Line Co. line fractured at Willard Bay State Park and dumped more than 27,000 gallons of the toxic substance March 18.
The care required made it impossible for Erickson, who serves as executive director of the center, to complete plans for the 4th annual Wildlife Baby Shower fundraiser. The event was expected to raise about $25,000 and would help keep the facility in operation.
Officials from Chevron have provided a check for $25,000 to cover the expected loss of the fundraiser. This money is in addition to the $10,000 Chevron gave the wildlife center last week to handle the expenses of caring for the beavers in the early days of treatment.
"This is a huge relief," Erickson said. "But I don't want to give people the impression that we are set for the year. This simply covers what we thought we might make. We are also losing the opportunity to connect with the public. We are a volunteer-based organization, and without the fundraiser we don't get the exposure and draw volunteers."
With the help of Chevron, the center is working on a project to modify an indoor rehabilitation room to support the long-term recovery of the six beavers, dubbed as heroes because the ponds created by the beaver dam complex slowed the flow of the diesel and prevented it from reaching the reservoir.
The first three beavers arrived at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah the day after the spill. Erickson said the initial three animals are doing well. The center has put out a call for the public to suggest names for the trio.
"We are seeing some fun personalities emerging in each of them. They are building little lodges in their cages," she said. "We have some tiny hurdles to jump, but I'd like for them to go back to the wild soon."
Erickson wants the trio to be released together and will wait until all three are ready.
Another three beavers, believed to be two yearlings and an adult female, were rescued eight days after the spill and are not faring as well. Erickson said they remain in a critical and sensitive condition.
"We are seeing a lot of problems with them. They are doing better, but they are not out of the woods yet," she said.
The latter three had their nasal passages burned by the diesel, making breathing difficult. Because the animals ingested the fuel, they have some digestive issues, which are slowly turning around.
Skin and undercoat problems are also of concern.
"They have these pockets of pus under their skin and they each lost probably close to 80 percent of their undercoats," Erickson said. "I'm keeping my fingers crossed for them."

How to help
P The nonprofit Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah is asking the public to make donations online at wrcnu.org and to deliver willow and cottonwood cuttings to 1490 Park Blvd. in Ogden.

Have a good night.
Printable View
Rob Riley was the matchmaker for the event and had dealt with negotiations with all fighters leading up to the show, not Danny. Your facts are wrong. Nothing untoward has happened
Also for the record, anyone involved with UCC knows Danny does a lot of prep behind the scenes before hand but on the day of a show he has people that are allocated jobs so he can enjoy the show. Often the money is sorted by his bro Austin, Ian Butlin or someone else. Rob had taken the reigns on this show so it is not unusual at all
Here we go again...
I'll happinly explain why...... I was approached by Danny late last year to come on board UCC and match for what was to be a UCC Bantamweight Tournament. I was to do this for the first few months, I matched a few Amateur and Professsional fights and got a few Bntamweights on board the Tournament. Getting closer to the event and like it does happen on many shows, Bantamweights pulled out and many fights had changed. Danny got me on board as he as other commitments and needed to concentrate on them. About a month and half ago, Danny then came back into the picture and decided he wanted to contrate on this show and we did the matching 50/50. Once all fights were matched, that was my job done.
I ONLY negotiated purse with a few of Saturday's fighters and teams, and any purse agreement and details were passed through Danny first and all money and fights were in Danny's control as I was just there to match fights.
Come the day of the show, me, nor Ian Butlin or anyone else was running UCC, Danny was, but as you said, he likes to sit back and enjoy the show which he did and let a runner take control of the fights and fight order. I was there along with other people, purely to give support to Danny.
At this moment in time, all I know is what fighters and coaches have told me and that is they have all spoke to Danny and he as said he will get everyone sorted this week and pay all purses, etc. I know ABOUT 70% of the show's fighters and people involved have been paid, there are just a few remaining people for Danny to settle with.
I ain't sayying Danny will or won't pay everyone, I can't speak for him, but all I can say is, the guy as done many Boxing and MMA shows over the years and always paid everyone and kept everyone happy. So I can't see why that would change now.
A rule of thumb I use when reporting is to triangulate facts - that is, if someone tells you something, get two other people to confirm it before you give it any weight. I've had four separate confirmations what I have posted in this thread before I posted it. I stand by the fact that Danny left of Saturday before everyone who expected to be paid, was paid. Danny's initial comment in this thread that 'everyone was paid' is not correct.
Now it's not particularly uncommon for fighters to be paid by bank transfer/paypal a couple of days after a show. I have heard from numerous parties that Danny is in the process of doing exactly that. Danny also mentioned that some fighters were not paid as they did not live up to their agreements - If this is the case, then those fighters have no right to be publicly demanding payments. I have asked Danny if he could clear that up.
The fact remains, there were a number of angry people stood around after the show on Saturday who expected to be paid, and weren't. All I want to do, for the good of UCC and the fighter, is determine whether those people were right to expect to be paid on the night or not.
As Rob has posted in this thread himself I'm not going to comment on his involvement anymore as he's much better placed than me to do so.
To reiterate, I'm not suggesting any wrongdoing. Issues of non/late payment have been raised many times before on this forum and others - I was simply the first person to notice this particular situation, and I'd like to see it all cleared up, everyone paid and everyone happy :)
This has come up on Facebook again and it was suggested that more and more haven't been paid and someone says Danny has "escaped" to Spain?

It's not official, but count on Moises Alou going on the DL again. The Mets are waiting for the MRI results, but Alou just said, "I think the DL is a possibility … I know my body and this feels like more than a few days away."
I'm not going to put a lot of stock into last night. We've seen games like that before and had them hit the skids. They need to run of 15 of 20 or something like that to turn the corner.

With Los Angeles County's budget expected to be in the black for the first time since the recession, thousands of its public employees - social workers, nurses, janitors and others - are saying it is finally time for salaries to start increasing again.
"We've all felt the pain of the recession but the county has now turned the corner financially and its budget is growing, not shrinking," said David Green, a social worker at the county Department of Children and Family Services who serves as executive secretary and acting treasurer for the Service Employees International Union Local 721.
"We've been patient and endured budget cuts and hiring freezes, taken on additional duties and extra hours, just to keep the county running because we care deeply about the community we serve," he added. "It's time to recognize the hard work that county workers do, and recognize it financially."
County spokesman David Sommers acknowledged labor's sacrifices over the last five years helped the county avoid making drastic cuts in services during the economic crisis.
"The key to us weathering the recession was the fact that all of our labor partners agreed to having no cost of living increases and no salary increases for the last five years," he said. "That is a remarkable, remarkable, achievement that labor agreed to that and helped us weather the storm."
"We're in active negotiations now so there's not much more that I can say," Sommers added.
On Tuesday, SEIU will hold a massive rally to coincide with county Chief Executive Officer William Fujioka officially submitting the 2013-2014 budget to the Board of Supervisors.
About 3,000 workers are expected to crowd the Hall of Administration, many of them with children in tow because Tuesday happens to be the county's "Bring Your Kids To Work Day."
In the weeks leading up to that budget presentation, the union held "rolling rallies" that made the rounds of county offices.
During one of those rolling rallies at the Hall of Administration on Thursday, Department of Consumer Affairs investigator Joe Johnson said a pay raise is long overdue.
"It's been so long since we've had one and inflation alone has eroded our wages by over 8 percent since, so in real dollars, we're actually working for less money than we did before," he said.
"We're working on almost the same salary as six years ago and it is time for the county to give us money to live on," added Donna Brinkley, a senior clerk at the county Office of the Assessor.
"We need it," she added.
According to the SEIU, almost 57 percent of its members earn less than $45,000 a year.
Meanwhile, 17 percent earn less than $30,000, and 12 percent make under $25,000.
Frank Dominguez, a supervisor at the Office of the Assessor, said the union has not demanded a specific amount for the pay raises but said it will be reasonable.
"We're not going to get crazy," he said.
Johnson said the county should fulfill a promise it made to its employees.
"About a year or so ago, the county asked us for one more year without pay raises, promising that, at the end of that period, they would give raises," he said.

School of Music to host guitar festival May 13-16
The School of Music at the University of South Carolina will host the Rosario Guitar Festival and Competition May 13-16. The festival is a four-day event featuring the sounds of classical, Spanish and Latin guitar music.
Tickets for evening concerts are $15 for adults and $10 for students. A single ticket purchase on Sunday afternoon functions as a ticket to the USC alumni concert and the competition finals concert.
All concerts will take place in the USC School of Music recital hall. Free events include daily master classes by guest artists; musical workshops; guitar competitions, May 14 and May 15; and a guitar orchestra concert featuring youth participants at 1 p.m. May 16.
Held for the second time in Columbia, the festival sponsors brought the Ohio-based concert here to provide cultural enrichment to the community and share the beauty of the classical guitar with people already familiar with the genre and introduce it to others. Festival director Jonathan Gangi said, "I feel that the classical guitar and its music are too wonderful for the general public to not know about and enjoy it!'
This year's festival features guitarists from around the world with international reputations as performers and teachers. The artists include Stephen Aron, Christopher Berg, Mir Ali, Marco Sartor, Jose Lezcano and Marina Alexandra.
This project is funded by the Cultural Council of Richland and Lexington Counties, The South Carolina Arts Commission and The John and Susan Bennett Memorial Arts Fund of The Coastal Community Foundation of South Carolina.

This is the wall clock that folds and unfolds like a dynamic origami shape as it tells time. A living sculpture, its metal hands are each wrapped with one end of a half-moon of pliable polyethylene that has a solid pink background on one side and pink dots against a yellow background on the other. As the hands rotate around the ABS dial, the lightweight material gracefully furls and changes, forming ever-changing shapes like the cone of a flower or a wind-filled sail. Instead of the jarring ticking movements and obtrusive tocking sounds of a traditional clock, this device's seamless, quiet motions combine the function of a timekeeper with the visual appeal of a work of art. Requires one AA battery. 13 3/4" H x 13 3/4" W x 6 1/4" D. (3/4 oz.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Origami Clock comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.

Love the Clock!
By JPZ
from Colorado
Best Uses
This is probably NOT the clock you want at your bedside . . . half asleep, bleary-eyed . . . you'll never figure out what time it is. I have it in my office and love it there. Just a little practice and you can tell the time at a glance. I really enjoy seeing it as I work. I know that I want to move it to the living room so that others can see it, but right now I'm just being a little selfish with it.It had come apart a bit in shipping . . . I wasn't expecting that and was on my knees searching for the little knob on the end . . . some form of containment would have helped.It would be nice to be able to order different colored "sails" to much your decor or taste.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Meet the Americans who still approve of Congress
posted at 1:16 pm on March 1, 2013 by Allahpundit
There aren't many left. Scarcity alone makes this NYT piece newsworthy:
But the small group of people [12 percent in the latest Times poll] who really did approve of Congress generally seemed to fall into two broad camps, which might be termed the "natural optimists" and the "Obama haters."
Take the second group first. Several respondents said they believed that Congress — which is divided between a Republican-controlled House and a Senate where Democrats are in the majority but generally unable to pass legislation because they lack 60 votes to overcome an almost automatic filibuster by the minority party — was trying its hardest in difficult circumstances, but was repeatedly frustrated by a hubristic White House with a my-way-or-the-highway attitude…
The other camp of respondents just tended to be looking on the brighter side of things: focusing on the future, crediting Congress with trying and offering some qualified thanks for the effort.
Take Helen Larsen, a wife and mother who lives in coal country in Utah. "If I had to explain it, I'd say that they're putting money where it needs to go," she said of Congress, mulling over her thoughts on Thursday morning. "They're putting it towards our future and our children's future, and maybe a little bit more into helping Social Security and Medicaid and Medicare."
If she had said "they're putting money where we want it to go," that'd be accurate. The public wants unsustainability; Congress is giving it to them. You'd think they'd be grateful. Final word to Ross Douthat:
Per @annielowrey's piece, the public *should* approve of Congress. It's doing the closest approximation possible of what the public wants.
— Ross Douthat (@DouthatNYT) March 1, 2013
Namely, trying to balance the budget w/o touching entitlements or raising middle class taxes.

Bold new sedan raises the bar in compact segment
Most cars have a typical lifespan of between five and seven years, with a mid-cycle refresh coming around the three-year mark. The Kia Forte, on the other hand, has been reworked at warp speed. Originally launched in 2010, it was only on the market for a few months before the interior was revamped to address concerns over the quality of the plastics. Shortly thereafter, the antiquated four-speed automatic transmission made way for a modern six-speed unit. Now, in 2013, the Forte is undergoing a complete redo and will debut as a 2014 model. It sees a new style that's wrapped tightly around a car that is both longer and wider. As I say, a warp-speed progression compared to the industry norm.
The look is refreshingly different — it is the typical three-box design, but with style. The bold face is flanked by an advanced lighting system that is now available with High Intensity Discharge headlights and LED daytime running lights. At the back, the bold tail lights add width to the Forte's stance. The top-line SX earns Kia's new "Light Bar Technology" tail lights. Here the LED light shines through a frosted lens, which delivers superb illumination and adds sophistication to the look. The combination adds up to an attractive car, as was evidenced by the admiring looks it earned on the drive around the Scottsdale area.
The exterior flair flows into the interior design, where the use of new soft-touch materials highlights a cabin that's packed with comfort and convenience. Depending upon the trim level selected, the Forte is available with everything from the usual power items, air conditioning, cruise control, heated seats, Bluetooth and UVO 2.0 (a voice-activated infotainment system that mirrors Ford's Sync in operation) with a 4.3-inch touchscreen and rearview camera through to leather seating, a heated and cooled 10-way power driver's seat and a new instrument cluster that features a 4.2-inch TFT LCD display. Again, the top-level model takes things a step further by adding a seven-inch multimedia screen that includes a voice-activated navigation system.
As for the rest of the cabin, the Forte's increased size and 50 millimetre stretch in the wheelbase (to 2,700 mm) brings more interior space, notably rear seat legroom, and a trunk that now accommodates 421 litres of cargo.
For 2014, the Forte is available with new 1.8-litre and 2.0L engines and both six-speed manual and six-speed automatic transmissions. The 1.8L engine produces 148 horsepower and 131 pound-feet of torque. When mated to the optional automatic transmission, it delivers a run from rest to 100 kilometres an hour of 10.2 seconds, which is par for the compact category.
The up-level 2.0L, direct-injected engine ups the output to 173 hp and 154 lb-ft of torque. When teamed with the automatic transmission, acceleration to 100 km/h takes just 9.0 seconds, which is sprightly for the segment. This engine is the only way to go unless fuel economy is paramount.
As is usual for this segment, the automatic is going to be the transmission of choice. It is quick to shift and it delivers a rewarding turn of speed as the lower gears are aimed at launching the car with authority and then maintaining that early work ethic through the mid-range and on to highway speeds, where the overdrive top gear brings comfortable cruising. It is one of the better transmissions available at this point.
The extensive use of high- and ultra-high-strength steel throughout the body equates to a better base of operations for the suspension and a 37% improvement in torsional rigidity compared to the outgoing car. This and the tweaked suspension gets rid of the harshness that was evident in former Forte. In this case, the ride is comfortable and the handling accomplished, especially the EX and SX models and the larger 17-inch wheel and tire package that accompany both. The additional lateral grip afforded by the P215/45R17 tires reduces understeer when the car is pushed toward the limit and, consequently, there's less stability control intervention. The setup imparts some true sportiness to the Forte's drive.
Another new feature is Kia's Flex Steer electrically driven power steering. This system allows the driver to choose from among Comfort, Normal and Sport settings. On the drive, the sport setting proved to be the right choice. Normal is great for a tight parking lot; Comfort proved to be far too light.
The other area the Forte departs from the segment norm is found in the vehicle stability management system. It not only uses the throttle and brakes to counter a wayward tendency, it uses the aforementioned electrically assisted steering to turn the front wheels a few degrees should the car begin to oversteer.
The 2014 Kia Forte takes a big step forward by blending a bold exterior style with a refined interior and high levels of comfort and convenience. The new engine choices also broaden its appeal. While prices have yet to be announced, the 2014 Forte should not stray too far from current pricing, which ranges from $16,000 to $25,600.

Meet The World's Tallest Mohawk And 10 Other Huge, Crazy, Colorful Hairdos
This is Kazuhiro Watanabe. Last week he shattered the world record for tallest mohawk with his massive spike of hair that reaches 3 feet, 8.6 inches above his head. Pretty amazing, right?
Between Kazuhiro's new record and NASA's mohawked hottie, this punk rock hairstyle is definitely having a moment (in related news, it might be a good time to buy stock in Aquanet). All this recent 'hawk talk got us in the mood to ogle some other crazy mohawks, so we found 10 more (literally) hair-raising hairdos, including a couple past record holders. Click on the gallery to check 'em out! [Huffington Post]

When will Phillips be healthy again to rematch with Fields?
Would be awesome if McGregor can become two weight champion.
I know the article says there was an agreement with the former champion (I assume about vacating it), but is there an article or more news about what actually happened?
Buchinger vs. McGregor is an awesome fight. Was really looking forward to McGregor vs. Alers finally, but that match looks doomed. Props as always to Ian Dean for sorting a more than worthy replacement.
Why should McGregor get to fight for the LW title just out of interest?
Why not? Most of his fights have been at LW. He's fought at LW twice for CWFC and Musardo vacated - makes sense to me.

Attachment Styles are Related to ERPs Elicited to Angry Faces in an Oddball Paradigm

Event-Related Potentials; Attachment Styles or Dimensions; Autonomy; Anxiety; Attentional Bias Theory
Journal of Behavioral and Brain Science,
Vol.2 No.1,
ABSTRACT: Attachment theory suggests that anxious attachment is associated with hypervigilance to threatening social stimuli, and avoidant attachment with avoidance or suppression of processing such stimuli. Twenty-five students viewed angry, fearful and neutral female faces in four visual oddball tasks, and completed the Attachment Style Questionnaire, the Autonomy-Connectedness Scale, and Anxiety and Depression subscales of the Symptom Checklist-90. When the oddballs were angry faces in a background of neutral frequents, we found higher levels of autonomy and secure attachment to be related to larger N100 and smaller P300 amplitudes; higher levels of anxious attachment were, on the contrary, associated with smaller N100 and larger P300 amplitudes. Variation in attachment is related to approaching, or withdrawing from threatening stimuli, and ERP-techniques add to our understanding of how the attachment system actually works.

Ultimate Server Lucid Customization OV
These instructions ought to be followed for every installation method of the Ultimate Server Lucid with OpenVistA, except when installing using the step-by-step walkthrough. When completed, a reasonably secure installation will have been achieved. The steps are meant to be done in order, because some later steps are dependent on earlier steps. These steps should take about 30 minutes to perform.
Enable BIOS power-up
- Change the computer's BIOS settings so that after a power failure the computer will automatically powerup and restart to the default OS. (This is important for servers.) At bootup, enter the BIOS menu using whichevever key is appropriate for your computer's BIOS:
- [F2], [F1], [F10], or [DEL] -> Power Management Setup -> PowerOn After Pwr-Fail: On -> Save -> Reboot
Set networking parameters
- Set the static IP address for your server. If your computer already has a static LAN IP address assigned on your network, use it. Otherwise choose a static LAN IP address that (preferably) is not part of the DHCP address range used by your router (or DHCP server). (Use the gedit text editor instead of kate if using Ubuntu instead of Kubuntu.)
sudo kate /etc/network/interfaces
- and edit the lines to resemble:
# iface eth0 inet dhcp # iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.99 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.0.1
- and restart networking:
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
Obtain an Internet URL
- Email:
- Email address: firstname.lastname@example.com Password: mylucidword000 DOB: 1/1/01 Favorite question: securityquestionanswer
- How to change:
- Mail.com -> Sign in (email address/password) -> Settings -> Accounts -> Change your Mail.com password -> Password: click here to change password
- Note: These are examples only. You must obtain your own account and password to use with the system. You can use a pre-established email account or create a new one at Mail.com, Gmail, or Yahoo Mail.
- Dynamic DNS:
- ID: myluciddnsid Password: myluciddnsword Email: email@example.com
- How to change:
- DynDNS.com -> Log in (Username/Password) -> Account Settings: Change Password
- Note: These are examples only. You must obtain your own account and password to use with the system. While several Dynamic DNS services are available and can be used, the walkthrough instructions refer to DynDNS.com. Decide on a naming scheme for your set of servers. The installation walkthrough uses mylucid00.dyndns.org, mylucidbbb00.dyndns.org, mylucidmoodle00.dyndns.org, mylucidwiki00.dyndns.org, mylucidcalendar00.dyndns.org, and mylucidweb00.dyndns.org, but (obviously) these cannot be used for your system and you must choose a new naming scheme.
- DynDNS.com allows the creation five free domain name URLs, so choose your naming scheme carefully and then create/activate the 5 URLs for your system at DynDNS.com. For example:
- clarkkent.dyndns.org, clarkkentbbb.dyndns.org, clarkkentmoodle.dyndns.org, clarkkentwiki.dyndns.org, clarkkentcalendar.dyndns.org, and clarkkentweb.dyndns.org.
Configure ddclient
- Edit the ddclient configuration file (mandatory). (Use the gedit text editor instead of kate if using Ubuntu instead of Kubuntu.):
sudo kate /etc/ddclient.conf
- so that it resembles:
# Configuration file for ddclient generated by debconf # # /etc/ddclient.conf # daemon=3600 ssl=yes use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.com/, web-skip='IP Address' pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid protocol=dyndns2 #use=if, if=eth0 server=members.dyndns.org login=clarkkent password=' kryptonite ' # clarkkent.dyndns.org,clarkkentbbb.dyndns.org,clarkkentmoodle.dyndns.org,clarkkentwiki.dyndns.org,clarkkentweb.dyndns.org clarkkent.dyndns.org,clarkkentbbb.dyndns.org,clarkkentmoodle.dyndns.org,clarkkentwiki.dyndns.org,clarkkentcalendar.dyndns.org
- Clearly you must use your own login ID and password (created during signup at DynDNS.com), and replace the server URL names with the ones that match your naming scheme (and which you activated at DynDNS.com).
Change important passwords
- System:
- ID: lucidadmin00 Password: lucidword00
- How to change (mandatory):
sudo passwd lucidadmin00
- System guest:
- ID: mylucid00guest Password: mylucidguestpassword
- How to change (mandatory):
sudo passwd mylucid00guest
- MySQL
- ID: root Password: lucidsql00
- How to change (recommended):
mysqladmin -u root --password=lucidsql00 password newrootsqlpw
- If you have lost the MySQL root user password entirely, then see this solution.
Customize BigBlueButton
- Customize BigBlueButton:
If your chosen URL for the BigBlueButton is clarkkentbbb.dyndns.org, for example, then
sudo bbb-conf --setip clarkkentbbb.dyndns.org:81 sudo bbb-conf --clean
- Although optional, I highly recommend creating a new security salt (UUID) for BigBlueButton. See these instructions.
- Edit the menu item/shortcut to the BBB server:
- Clark Kent's BigBlueButton (Teleconferencing) -- firefox http://clarkkentbbb.dyndns.org:81
- Make sure your router forwards ports 81, 9123, and 1935 to your server's LAN IP address.
Customize Moodle
- Customize Moodle:
- Edit the Apache2 virtual host configuration file for the Moodle Server (use the gedit text editor instead of kate if using Ubuntu instead of Kubuntu):
sudo kate /etc/apache2/sites-available/moodlevirtualhost
- so that the contents resemble:
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin email@example.com # DocumentRoot /usr/share/moodle/ ServerName clarkkentmoodle.dyndns.org ServerAlias www.clarkkentmoodle.dyndns.org clarkkentmoodle.dyndns.org #RewriteEngine On #RewriteOptions inherit </VirtualHost>
- Activate the new virtual host configuration:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
- Edit the Moodle configuration file (use the gedit text editor instead of kate if using Ubuntu instead of Kubuntu):
sudo kate /etc/moodle/config.php
- so that the FQDN (in this case the URL) is correctly noted:
$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://clarkkentmoodle.dyndns.org/moodle';
- Login to the server (http://clarkkentmoodle.dyndns.org) and change the primary admin password (and create a new user/password if desired):
- ID: mylucid00admin Password: mylucid00word
- How to change (mandatory):
- Moodle -> Login (using ID/Password) -> Site Administration: Accounts: Browse List of Users
- -> MyLucid Admin -> Change password
- How to change (mandatory):
- Edit the menu item/shortcut to the Moodle server:
- Clark Kent's Moodle (Online Teaching) -- firefox http://clarkkentmoodle.dyndns.org
Customize MediaWiki
- Customize MediaWiki:
- Edit the Apache2 configuration file (e.g. /etc/apache2/sites-available/wikivirtualhost). (Use the gedit text editor instead of kate if using Ubuntu instead of Kubuntu.):
sudo kate /etc/apache2/sites-available/wikivirtualhost
- so that the lines are similar to:
<VirtualHost *:80> UseCanonicalName off # DocumentRoot /var/www/Wikis DirectoryIndex index.php index.html # ServerName clarkkentwiki.dyndns.org ServerAlias *.clarkkentwiki.dyndns.org # RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^private* RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^public* RewriteRule ^/(/.*|)$ /public/$1 [R] # <Directory /var/www/Wikis> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews #AllowOverride None Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> # </VirtualHost>
- Activate the new virtual host configuration:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
- Change the password for each wiki individually by logging in separately (http://clarkkent.dyndns.org/public and http://clarkkent.dyndns.org/private). The ID and password are initially the same for both wikis (but this obviously can be changed).
- ID: mylucid00admin Password: mylucid00word
- How to change (mandatory for each wiki):
- MediaWiki -> Login (using ID/Password) -> my preferences -> Change password
- Edit the menu items / shortcuts to the Wiki(s):
- Clark Kent's Wiki (Public) (MediaWiki) -- firefox http://clarkkentwiki.dyndns.org
- and
- Clark Kent's Wiki (Private) (MediaWiki) -- firefox http://clarkkentwiki.dyndns.org/private
Customize Drupal
- Customize the Drupal6 website(s):
- Rename the website folders to correspond to your chosen URL naming scheme. For example:
sudo mv /etc/drupal/6/sites/mylucid00.dyndns.org /etc/drupal/6/sites/clarkkent.dyndns.org sudo mv /etc/drupal/6/sites/mylucidweb00.dyndns.org /etc/drupal/6/sites/clarkkentweb.dyndns.org
- Edit the virtual host file for the new sites (use the gedit text editor instead of kate if using Ubuntu instead of Kubuntu):
sudo kate /etc/apache2/sites-available/drupal6virtualhost
- so that it resembles:
# # Virtual hosting configuration for Drupal6 # # <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin firstname.lastname@example.com # DocumentRoot /usr/share/drupal6/ ServerName clarkkent.dyndns.org ServerAlias *.clarkkent.dyndns.org clarkkent.dyndns.org RewriteEngine On RewriteOptions inherit </VirtualHost> # <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin firstname.lastname@example.com # DocumentRoot /usr/share/drupal6/ ServerName clarkkentweb.dyndns.org ServerAlias *.clarkkentweb.dyndns.org clarkkentweb.dyndns.org RewriteEngine On RewriteOptions inherit </VirtualHost>
- Activate the new virtual host configuration:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
- Edit the cron task so that it reflects the new URLs correctly:
sudo crontab -e
And edit the lines (with the nano editor, or the one you prefer) so that they resemble:
45 * 18 * * /usr/bin/wget -O - -q -t 1 http://clarkkent.dyndns.org/cron.php 45 * 19 * * /usr/bin/wget -O - -q -t 1 http://clarkkentweb.dyndns.org/cron.php
- Login to each website individually (http://clarkkent.dyndns.org and http://clarkkentweb.dyndns.org) and adjust the admin user password and the Theme settings. (Until you adjust the Theme settings, the graphics will not display properly).
- ID: mylucid00admin Password: mylucid00word
- How to change (mandatory):
- Drupal6 -> Login (using ID/Password) -> My account -> Edit -> Password
- change the Theme settings:
- Drupal6 -> Administer -> Site building -> Themes -> Garland: configure -> Path to custom logo: sites/clarkkent.dyndns.org/WebLogo.png
- (Use clarkkentweb.dyndns.org when customizing the other website, obviously.)
- update the websites:
- http://clarkkent.dyndns.org/update.php

Customize DAViCal
- Customize the DAViCal Group Calendar:
- Rename the configuration file to correspond to your chosen URL naming scheme. For example:
sudo mv /etc/davical/mylucidcalendar00.dyndns.org-conf.php /etc/davical/clarkkentcalendar.dyndns.org-conf.php
- Edit the virtualhost config file (use the gedit text editor instead of kate if using Ubuntu instead of Kubuntu):
sudo kate /etc/apache2/sites-available/mydavicalsite
- so that these lines resemble:
# # Virtual Host def for Debian package DAViCal <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /usr/share/davical/htdocs DirectoryIndex index.php index.html ServerName clarkkentcalendar.dyndns.org ServerAlias calendar.clarkkent.dyndns.org Alias /images/ /usr/share/davical/htdocs/images/ <Directory /usr/share/davical/htdocs/> AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> php_value include_path /usr/share/awl/inc php_value magic_quotes_gpc 0 php_value register_globals 0 php_value open_basedir 1 php_value error_reporting "E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE" php_value default_charset "utf-8" </VirtualHost>
- Activate the new virtual host configuration:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
- Login to the calendar server (http://clarkkentcalendar.dyndns.org) and change the admin password.
- ID: mylucid00admin Password: mylucid00word
- How to change (mandatory):
- DAViCal Admin webpage -> login (User Name/Password) -> User Functions: List Users
- -> mylucid00admin -> Confirm password: (enter new password) -> Apply changes
- How to change (mandatory):
Adjust SSH for remote connections
- Adjust SSH for remote connections
- The usual default SSH port is 22, but in the Ultimate Server this has been changed to port 22199. You can change it again, if you choose. Make sure your router forwards traffic for the chosen port to your computer's LAN IP address (as set above). (Use the gedit text editor instead of kate if using Ubuntu instead of Kubuntu.)
sudo kate /etc/ssh/sshd_config
- change the listening port:
Port 22199
- then restart the OpenSSH server:
sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
- Make sure the router forwards the selected listening port (e.g. 22199) to the IP address (e.g. 192.168.0.99) of the server.
- Remove the insecure SSH files distributed with the system and generate new ones:
sudo rm /home/lucidadmin00/.ssh/* ssh-keygen
- Accept the default location for the key file ( /home/lucidadmin00/.ssh/id_rsa ).
- Leave the passphrase empty
cd ~/.ssh touch authorized_keys
- Concatenate the newly-generated id_rsa.pub key to the authorized_keys file:
cd ~/.ssh cat authorized_keys id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys
Adding new SSH users
- Add a new user and change the password for that user (optional):
sudo useradd -m myownuserID sudo passwd myownuserpw
- Login using the new user ID to complete the installation.
- Create an SSH keypair for automated login by the new user:
- Generate a key pair (by default, a 2048-bit RSA key pair is created):
- Accept the default location for the key file ( /home/myownuserID/.ssh/id_rsa ).
- Leave the passphrase empty
- Make sure that a file named authorized_keys (with write privileges) is in the /home/myownuserID/.ssh folder. If not, create such a file (using the "touch" command to create an empty file) after logging into the server as myownuserID:
cd ~/.ssh touch authorized_keys
- Alternatively, you can copy the original authorized_keys file from the /etc/lucidadmin00/.ssh folder (as long as it has been revised and is not the original insecure authorized_keys file distributed with the system). This is useful if you wish to keep both the lucidadmin00 and myownuserID users.
sudo cp /home/lucidadmin00/.ssh/authorized_keys /home/myownuserID/.ssh/authorized_keys sudo chown -R myownuserID /home/myownuserID
- Concatenate the newly-generated id_rsa.pub key to the authorized_keys file:
cd ~/.ssh cat authorized_keys id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys
Inactivate old users
- Inactivate old users (this is easiest from the GUI desktop once installation has been completed):
- Menu -> System -> KUser User Manager -> highlight userID -> Account disabled (ticked)
- If you merely wish to exclude a user from appearing on the Login screen:
- Menu -> System -> System Settings -> Advanced -> Login Manager -> Users -> tick the users to exclude from the Login screen
Change hostname (optional)
- Hostname: Lucid64Server00
- Discover the current hostname and the Fully Qualified Domain Name:
hostname hostname --fqdn
- I don't recommend changing the hostname, but it can be changed by editing the /etc/hostname file and the /etc/hosts file (use the gedit text editor instead of kate if using Ubuntu instead of Kubuntu)
sudo kate /etc/hostname sudo kate /etc/hosts
It is not necessary for security reasons to change your hostname, and it is not recommended especially if you have already been using the system for a while (as the hostname can be used in several configuration files other than the two noted).
Customize OpenVistA EHR
- Customize OpenVista EHR Client passwords:
- ID: sys.admin Password: vista!456 (changed from vista!123)
- How to change (mandatory):
- OpenVistA-CIS Client -> login (Login ID/Password) -> Change Password on Connect (ticked)
- ID: text9260 Password: vista!456 (changed from no#1sostrong)
- How to change (optional as long as SSH password authentication remains disabled):
sudo passwd text9260
- ID: client9260 Password: vista!456 (changed from no#1sostrong)
- How to change (optional as long as SSH password authentication remains disabled):
sudo passwd client9260
- ID: openvistaEHR Password: vista!456 (changed from vista!123)
- How to change (mandatory):
sudo passwd openvistaEHR
- Copy the administrative server user's (previously created) SSH authorized_keys file to the .ssh folders for client9260 and text9260. On this server, serveruser = lucidadmin00 by default. If you have created a new user as your default admin user (for example myownuserID), you should replace serveruser with myownuserID in the examples below instead (assuming you have already created a new authorized_keys file in the /home/myownuserID/.ssh directory):
sudo rm /home/client9260/.ssh/authorized_keys sudo cp /home/serveruser/.ssh/authorized_keys /home/client9260/.ssh/ sudo chown -R client9260 /home/client9260
sudo rm /home/text9260/.ssh/authorized_keys sudo cp /home/serveruser/.ssh/authorized_keys /home/text9260/.ssh/ sudo chown -R text9260 /home/text9260
- Edit all the OpenVistA Menu items / shortcuts, replacing mylucid00.dyndns.org with your chosen URL (e.g. clarkkent.dyndns.org) in each one.
VistA Server functions
The VistA server functions are generally configured from a text interface. The VistA server is very flexible and powerful, and therefore can seem complex to customize and daunting for new users.
Accessing the interface is possible in several ways:
- While logged on the server (using any login ID) by starting VistA Commander from a command-line interface Terminal:
- Logging in directly to the server using the provided Linux login (openvistaEHR or worldvistaEHR) and opening a (Konsole) Terminal. This loads the VistA Commander interface automatically. (On Astronaut systems, the default initial password is vista!123.)
- Using the Text Client, VistA Config, or VistA Server Admin (text9260) (with or without SSH) if installed on your system as part of a client package.
- Using the built-in VistA Server Text Client menu items/shortcuts in the Ubuntu-Med system.

Between Two Ferns...
This is my first contest submission--ever! I HAD TO enter this contest, as faeries are my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!! I challenged myself to pipe the faeries, as opposed to sculpting from fondant (too easy...). The grass cake, tree cake, ferns, mushrooms, blossoms, faery wings, and baby dragon are all MMF, with vines and faery bodies piped in buttercream. Thanks for looking!

Post subject: Red River Valley Flooding
The Red/Red Lake Rivers are on the rise. In Grand Forks/East Grand Forks the Red is just about at 28 feet (almost out of the banks). I have disabled all of my caches in the Greenway and will be retrieving them this week. I would recommend that all caches in the Greenway flood zone be temporally disabled and pulled this week. The river will be rising fast this spring. If anyone needs help pulling their caches, let me know. I'll be pulling mine starting tonight. If anyone wants to disable their cache and is unable to retrieve it (in the Grand Forks area), let me know and I will pull it for you and then put it back out when things dry out.
To temporally disable your cache all you need to do is go to your cache listing page and select disable listing. I just put a short note on mine Due to the Red River approaching flood stage I am pulling this cache. Once the river is back in its banks and the ground is dry I will put it back out (May or June).
Let's hope for a short flood season.

Guys don't do anything stupid like get caught out in the woods when one of the levys breaks. None of your caches are worth you risking your lives to recover them.

I retrieved 7 of my caches in the greenway flood zone after work yesterday. Good thing I did since the river went up 6.5 feet overnight and today several of them would be underwater. I attempted to retrieve one of my fellow cachers caches, but I didnt bring a boat with me.
If anyone is going to retrieve their caches from the greenway use caution. The river is flowing fast and the ground is slippery. I did a quick check on GC.COM and it appears that none of the caches in danger of flooding have any TBs or Geocoins. Dont take any unnecessary risks and put your personal safety in danger, its not worth it. If anyone has a cache that floats away let me know. I would be willing to handout some of my extra decons and ammo cans for replacements.

LOL...The cache roylake tried to retrieve for a fellow geocacher was my Red River Remains. Instead of 20' from the water it was 20' out in the water, high & dry for the moment but out there. By the time this years flood is through it may very well end up in Manitoba. (It has a mop handle with 3 decon containers at the end of a bike cable; sort of like a fishing pole with a very weird fish on the end!) It is now probably 60 to 100 feet from shore. I was just able to retrieve two of my 4 Red River Corridor/Greenway caches yesterday before they locked things down. Little Joe was 4' from the rising water & would now be under water.
One of the retrieved two had trackables that I did not want lost. Luckily the river locked RRR currently has no trackables & the other is only a magnetic key case; not likely to disappear as it has a very strong magnet & is wedged between two signs. The log is waterproof paper.
ET suggests we try really hard to come up with flood proof caches to put in the RR corridor so we do not have to go through this each year.

Someday Ill come up with that perfect flood proof cache.
I had a metal match case tied to a tree that spent at least 3 weeks under the water in last years flood. When the water level went down I found it buried in mud, but still attached to the tree. After washing the mud off I opened it up and it was full of water. So much for being a waterproof match case, at least it was tight enough to keep the dirt out. The water that came out was perfectly clear. If youve seen the murky Red River water you know that was an amazing feat. The log was on waterproof paper and was still readable. I look forward to (in a couple of years) hearing about the farmer near the river that finds an ammo can in his field full of assorted cache loot.

That would be kind of cool. Place a cache right before the flood and see where it ends up. Kinda like placing a note in a bottle and throwing it out to sea.

The Red River is almost back in its banks and the Grand Forks/East Grand Forks Greenway has been officially opened. I am getting most of my caches back out this week. The ground closer to the river is still quite muddy and there is plenty of debris so watch your step.

Post subject: Spring Cache Maintenance!
I've re-enabled '7th Ave North Entrance'. I'll put back out 'Well I'll Be Spruced' in the next day or so if it is not too muddy in the lower regions of Riverside Park. 'Little Joe' will be permanently archived & replaced nearby with a whole new cache. I am pretty sure that it will still be too muddy to get anywhere near 'Red River Remains' for some time yet.
Back at Gilby I've some cache maintenance to do as well. 'Hip's Home Town' has been muggled as has 'Out in the Boondocks'. Oh yeah ... I think 'Whirrrly' needs drying out.
A couple of my nano's (one in Grand Forks & one in Barnesville) need new logs & nothing has been heard from my cache near Halstad for some time. Cache maintenance is most definitely a major spring activity & of course a year round event as well.

NEW YORK CITY -- Digital jukebox giant TouchTunes Interactive Networks has named Jim Wilson chief operating officer. Wilson, who will provide general management for the 15-year old high-tech music company, will be headquartered in New York and report to chief executive Charles Goldstuck. He succeeds Steve Brecher, who exited the company in April.
Wilson comes to TouchTunes from Atari, where he was chief executive. Prior to Atari, he had held several senior posts at other interactive entertainment concerns. He was executive-vice president and general manager of Sony's home entertainment business, and president of Universal Interactive, where he built a games company and movie studio-based business model. When Vivendi acquired Universal Interactive, Wilson served as an executive vice-president and GM of Worldwide Studios at Vivendi Universal Games.
The first TouchTunes pay-per-play jukebox went live in 1998. Today, the company's music is available in 60,000 bars and restaurants in North America, and is second only to iTunes in volume of paid music downloads.

Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
The instructions state to order 2 sizes larger than street shoe. My daughter wears an 11.5 to a 12 in a street shoe so I ordered a 13,5 making the ballet slipper 1.5 to 2 sized larger than her street shoe. The slippers came and are at least an inch and a half too long! I cannot comment with confidence on durability, but they seem VERY thin! Now I have to order another pair and hope she likes them enough to wear them when she grows in the 13.5's in a year or TWO!
Age: 30-39
Was this review helpful to you? YES (
My 5 year old daughter loves it! size runs little small but she still can wear it.
These are some of the most comfortable shoes ever, but they fall apart.
These shoes are still pretty good.
These are really good shoes, they flatter the feet really nice. But it didn't seem like it had a lot of padding on the instep. Also the shoes got really dirty looking really fast. But over all the shoe is comfortable and looked nice on my feet.
My daughter really likes these shoes, but they run really small. She wears a 13 street shoe and a 3 in these.
These are good quality canvas shoes for my youngest child. They gap a little when she is on releve, but they wash up nicely in the washing machine and children grow out of them so quickly, you can't beat the price tag.

lzm2dir kernel.lzm / (if kernel.lzm is saved on root else define path accordingly)
will install kernel headers if you are running CD version.In USB no need of it as its already there.
* Driver : rt2870 (modified by hirte and nemesis)
* Chipset : Ralink rt2870 a/b/g/n
You will need kernel.lzm and to compile the included driver from the link above.
Im not sure if there is a tut out there. I tried searching the forums for one but came up with nothing.
Can anyone give me the steps to including the driver so I can get this functioning?
I already downloaded the driver now i need to understand what to do with the kernel.lzm and how to compile it into there.
lzm2dir kernel.lzm / (if kernel.lzm is saved on root else define path accordingly)
will install kernel headers if you are running CD version.In USB no need of it as its already there.
I'm also struggling with the 600n.
I'm using the VMware download of BT3.
I downloaded the Kernel from Offensive Security, I extracted using LZM2Dir (do I need to do anything else?)
I downloaded the modified driver, rt2870-2.6.25-hirte.tar.bz2, extracted and did a make and make install.
No noticeable errors.
IWconfig is listing no wireless extensions.
lsusb lists the adaptor as:
Bus 1 Device 2: ID 1737:0071 Linksys
Am I missing anything? I'm a bit of a linux noob as you can tell.
I got the device showing up in iwconfig by following the instructions here ([h ttps://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/45440) and applying to the modified driver.
Copied for archive purposes :Gedit isn't installed on Backtrack as far as I can see so replace with Kedit. Sudo isn't necessary because you already have root access
Open with gedit the file named config.mk, that is placed in the subfolder os/linux. Replace the lines "HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=n" and "HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=n", with the lines "HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y" and "HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y" (without the quotes). Save and close.
Now open the file named rt2870.h that is placed in the subfolder include. Insert a new line after "{USB_DEVICE(0x157E,0x300E)}, /* U-Media */ \", it is line 126, and place in the new line exactly this string "{USB_DEVICE(0x1737,0x0071)}, /* WUSB600N */ \" (again without the quotes). Save and close.
We are ready to compile, so bring up a terminal, point it to the directory "2008_0718_RT2870_Linux_STA_v22.214.171.124" and type "sudo make". It may take some minutes. If no error is reported (for me it worked) then you have your driver compiled.
Now we have to copy the file named RT2870STA.dat to the folder /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/. You may have to create it, for example type in the terminal:
sudo mkdir /etc/Wireless
sudo mkdir /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA
sudo cp RT2870STA.dat /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat
Almost done, we have to load the driver kernel module. Select again the terminal, navigate to the subfolder os/lnux, and then load the module with:
sudo insmod rt2870sta.ko
To get it running always at startup, we have to edit a file. Open it by typing in the terminal "sudo gedit /etc/modules", then at the end of file add the line "rt2870sta" (without the quotes). Save and close.
Reboot your pc, it should then work.
The problem I now have is getting the driver to start at startup, at the moment I'm having to manually navigate to rt2870/os/linux and instmod rt2870sta.ko to start the driver, /etc/modules produced a blank page, editing modules.conf didn't make a difference.
Anyone know where I make the entry in Backtrack?
It looks like a no-go with VMware, although the driver installed, kismet and anything else would freeze on startup and the OS would become unstable.
I've succesfully installed the adaptor on a USB HDD BT3 installation with success in cracking my own Wep key.
No need to edit the config.mk with the driver listed below.
Basic steps are :
Download the Nemesis version of the driver (wxw.speedshare.org/download.php?setlang=en&id=F81DA99513)
Extract, copy RT2870STA.dat from root to /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/
Compile using Make
CD to os/linux/
insmod rt2870sta.ko
Kismet entry is : source=rt73,ra0,ralink
Hopefully this might be some help to someone and sorry for taking so many posts but they did help in remembering where I'd been .
Time to update to bt4 pre-final. Would probably save you some headache rather than trying to get the device to work on a legacy kernel.
Also I meant updating bt4 pre-final as in not just getting it but updating the kernel which is available in the repository.

In the past 7 days I:
- Ate a silly amount of movie theater popcorn.
- Ditto to mini Cadbury eggs. (Not the classic Cream Eggs, the milk chocolate ones with the crispy pastel-colored shell. Love.)
- Wore workout clothes to run errands even though I wasn't on the way to, nor coming back from working out. Sneakers paired with sweatpants make you look like a go-getter. Sweatpants with flip-flops make you look like a lazy college student. Fact.
- Watched The Bachelor, Bring It On and Glee. (Not all on the same day. There would be no excuse for that.)
…I should also tell you that while I was watching that episode of Glee I was hula hooping pretty much the entire time. I don't even like musicals. And I pretend hula hooping is exercise. I don't know…
I am not particularly proud of these things, but I just felt like I should be completely… honest. About life.
Have I done anything redeeming this week?
- I went to a Picasso exhibit (Culcha!)
- We tried a new restaurant in Bondi.
- I saw The Artist. (Silent movie! More culcha!)
- I toasted a lot of coconut flakes and found various uses for them.
I also made this salad.
A good warm salad some how makes me feel better about my other, slightly shameful indulgences.
Balance. I think that's what it's all about. Get a dose of terrible reality television with a side of cubism. Wear your comfy clothes out in public when you're grocery shopping, but put on a little pretty when you head out to dinner. Be 26 and buy yourself a hula hoop.
And leave a little room for some Easter-themed chocolate after the vibrant, crunchy, paprika-spiced salad.
Warm Red Cabbage and Corn Salad
(serves 4)
– 2 ears of corn, corn removed from the cob
– 1/2 red cabbage, shredded very thin
– 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
– 1 clove of garlic thinly sliced

ubuntu battery monitor
Guys, I have an MSI Wind u100 and I've installed backtrack 3 final to the hard drive. I've gotten everything to work exactly how I want it except for one thing. I got the wireless card to work, I got it to display in 1024x600 resolution, and I got slapt-get working. The only thing left is the battery monitor. I'm afraid it's going to take a lot more work...
When I go into the "laptop battery" settings, it tells me, "Your computer seems to have a partial ACPI installation. ACPI was probably enabled, but some of the sub-options were not - you neet to enable at lease 'AC Adaptor' and 'Control Method Battery' and then rebuild your kernel."
I've never had any experience with rebuilding a kernel. I have no idea where I would even start with this. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
You mean the applet which tells you the strength of your battery life? If you are having a battery problem with your laptop, use synaptic and reinstall "klaptop". That should fix any problems with your battery.

As a clinical psychologist, I provide both psychotherapy and psychological testing. Because much information on psychotherapy is on this website, I will describe the testing. Psychological testing is an efficient way to gain a better understanding of yourself or your child. The type of testing I conduct includes: ADHD/ADD, personality (to gain an understanding of yourself to enhance therapy), gastric bipass and lapband readiness, readiness for fertility treatments/surrogacy, gifted evaluations, fitness for duty, IQ, and other mental health concerns (i.e., depression, schizophrenia).
