Central, S.C. - The Brevard College women's volleyball team went 1-1 Saturday afternoon after traveling down to Central, S.C. to take on North Greenville University and Southern Wesleyan University in a three team meet.
The Tornados defeated the Crusaders in the first match, but fell to the Warriors in the second match to go to 7-3 for the year.
In the Tornados first match of the day, BC won a hard-fought match against the Crusaders in four sets, 25-20, 24-26, 25-23, and 25-21.
The teams swapped the first two sets with BC winning the first and NGU coming from behind to take the second. In the third set, Brooke Seaman and Jami Perry took over as Seaman recorded 11 kills and Perry contributed with 14 assists. The Tornados rode the wave of emotion from the third set to victory as they won the fourth set 25-21.
Leaders from the first match include Brooke Seaman and Jami Perry. Seaman, the preseason 2nd team All-SAC player, led the team with 25 kills, two service aces, two solo blocks and two block assists while Perry recorded 15 digs and 45 assists. Junior Chelsey Trojan and freshman Chelsea Larsen each contributed with 13 and eight kills respectively. Trojan also recorded two service aces in the match and libero Rebecca Schoonover patrolled the backline tallying up 21 digs.
In the second match of the day, BC fell in four sets to the home Warriors, 25-20, 17-25, 26-28, and 19-25.
Seaman continued to have the hot hand in the first set as she recorded seven kills on eight attacks en route to a BC victory. However, the second set caused problems for the Tornados as they seemed out of sync in falling, 17-25. The third set was a close contest as the teams swapped the lead back and forth several times before the Warriors took control, winning 28-26. The fourth set was all SWU as they closed out the match, 25-19.
Defense reigned supreme in the second match as five BC players recorded double-digit digs. Seaman recorded 17 kills, an ace, and two block assists. Larsen was right behind her as she picked 16 kills and 16 digs. Perry had 43 assists and ten digs while Trojan tallied six kills and 16 digs. Defensive specialist Caroline Merrill recorded ten digs and Schoonover rounded out the effort with a team high 35 digs. Kirsten Carlsen also picked up one solo block and six block assists against the Warriors.
The Tornados will be back on the road again on Tuesday, September 16, as they open their SAC schedule by traveling to Jefferson City, TN to take on the Carson-Newman Eagles. The match begins at 6:30 p.m.

If a film is successful, they will make more prints and release it widely more quickly. If it isn't, they'll slowly expand to more cities. Unfortunately, Fort Wayne, due to its size and the relatively small amount of business it has done for films in the past, is lower on distributors' lists. Even with the advent of digital cinema and its reduction in the cost of creating 35mm film prints, distributors still use this system of "platforming" to determine how much to spend to market a film and also, in some cases, to build word-of-mouth anticipation for a film.

First, we look at films that have received critical acclaim. We also strive for a mix of types of films, (e.g. comedy, drama, foreign, documentary, etc.). In addition, we consider whether a film will be financially successful for Cinema Center by looking at how much business it has done. We also take suggestions from the community!

We'll often have a general idea of what's coming up, but the availability of titles to a market our size and the number of potential movies makes booking too far in advance difficult. In addition, if a movie is doing well, we'll hang on to it longer and may have to move future bookings. FaqMaker I want to join.

1. More memory decreases the chance the message occurs.
2. The problem seems to be related to the availability of a network, but only just after boot up. After that, network seems irrelevant
3. The problem seems to be connected to whether a cd is in the tray when kdm starts or not.
4. Loading a desktop picture or not, seems to have connection to the problem as well.
So, it seems safe to deduct that the default order of starting things in kdm start is not quite right. Obviously, more RAM causes some processes to start - and finish - faster. A disk being present in a tray will spawn an extra process (maybe even requiring network, like cddb lookups), which will delay some other process, which causes the error. Loading desktop pictures causes the same delay (but wouldn't need network, unless the picture is on a remote drive).

I would suggest all GNU/Linux (or Linux — call it what you want) advocates to look into this in your state. When you get down to it, the $40 extra a year comes out to less than $4 a month. Skip a sandwich once a month and you can afford it.

i made one out of some things i picked up at home depot for real cheap they are these things you twist into the wall and holds um real nice and padded to
Yeah, looking for the same thing. Got a sweet MTB board from the 80's and has some great glassing artwork on it that I want to hang in our nursery. I definately need something secure. Anyone have any luck putting those ring screws into their ceiling and hanging some fancy, nice look rope down and hanging it that way? didn't know if straight up dry wall would support that or if I'd have to find a stud in the ceiling.
I am getting these for my house
Just made these for my place. Will hold 3 longboards. Crappy pics, can't see the woodwork but has nice finish and edging. Real solid structure, padded supports to prevent board damage. Looks awesome. Might make a few and start selling them. Let me know if interested.

For the next 10 hours, I had to watch the smoke rise from the pentagon, knowing that part of it was from charred bodies.
He is a formidable leader of the pentagon, and he knows how focus and to get things done.
A pentagon spokesman said Monday that the U.S. has no reason to believe that Gaddafi has left the country.
If we can easily see ways to cut costs in the Department of Education, we should not be blind to opportunities at the pentagon.

In rounders the bases are five in number and the field a pentagon in shape.
At nine (this was Friday morning) she and Walt were back in the pentagon.
"Negative," said the voice from the pentagon, irritatingly GI.

The U.S. military headquarters Pentagon was completed 1942, so called for its shape; used allusively for "U.S. military leadership" from 1945. Related: Pentagonal.
In nature, pentagonal symmetry is rare in inanimate forms. Packed soap bubbles seem to strive for it but never quite succeed, and there are no mineral crystals with true pentagonal structures. But pentagonal geometry is basic to many living things, from roses and forget-me-nots to sea urchins and starfish. [Robert Bringhurst, "The Elements of Typographic Style," 1992]

A 21-year-old man is recovering after his neighbor stabbed him in the chest with a pocketknife, according to Provo police.
Police arrested the suspect Friday night and booked him under suspicion of aggravated assault and possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person.
The victim and the 28-year-old neighbor argued earlier that day, and then they saw each other again in the breezeway of their apartment complex at 80 S. 900 East, Sgt. Brandon Post wrote in a news release. A fight ensued, and the suspect allegedly stabbed the victim in the chest, puncturing his left lung.
The victim managed to get away and call police. He was taken to the hospital and is expected to survive.
Police arrested the suspect, who got a cut on his hand during the fight, which required stitches.
During their investigation, police found a folding pocketknife with a four-inch blade, which they believe to be the weapon.

Talking to your teen about drinkingUnderage drinking - talking; Risky drinking- talking to teens; Alcohol abuse- talking to teens
Alcohol abuse is not just an adult problem. Most American high school seniors have had an alcoholic drink within the past month.
About 1 in 5 teens are considered problem drinkers. This means they:
- Get drunk
- Have accidents related to drinking
- Get into trouble with the law, their family, friends, school, or dates because of their drinking
The best time to begin talking with your teen about drugs and alcohol is now. Children as young as 9 years old may become curious about drinking, and they may even try it alcohol.
By Saying Nothing, You Are Saying Something
Saying nothing to your children about drinking may give them the message that teen drinking is okay. Most children choose not to drink because their parents talk with them about it.
The best way for your children to be comfortable talking with you about drinking is to be honest and direct. You may want to prepare and think about what you will say ahead of time.
Tell your child how you feel about their using alcohol. Once you have started talking with your teenager, continue to bring it up at times when you are talking about related issues.
Free and Curious
Puberty and the teenage years are a time of change. Your child may have just started high school or may have just gotten a driver's license. They may have a sense of freedom they never had before.
Teenagers are curious. They want to explore and do things their own way. But pressure to fit in might make it hard to resist alcohol if it seems like everyone else is trying it.
How to talk with your teen:
- Encourage your teen to talk to you about their drinking. Remain calm when listening and try not to judge or criticize your teen. Make it comfortable for your teen to tell you about themselves.
- Let your child know you understand that taking chances is a normal part of growing up.
- Remind them that drinking comes with serious risks.
- Tell your child how you feel about their using alcohol.
- Emphasize they should never drink and drive or ride with a driver who has been drinking.
What to do:
- Give your child space to explore, but keep track of where they are and who they are with.
- Always make sure there is a responsible adult where your child is, or nearby.
- Check in with your child during times they are out with their friends.
How Problems at Home Might Cause Children to Drink
Risky drinking or alcohol abuse in the home can lead to the same habits in children. Children become aware of the drinking patterns of their parents at an early age.
Children are more likely to drink:
- If conflict is present between parents or caregivers
- If parents are having money problems or are stressed from work
- If abuse is occurring at home or the home does not feel safe in other ways
What you can say to your teen:
- If alcohol abuse runs in the family, it is very important to talk with your child -- do not keep secrets. Your child should know what the risks of drinking are.
- Talk honestly about how drinking has affected family members. That might mean talking about the effects of alcohol on your own life.
- Talk openly with your child about money problems or work issues in a way that does not overly scare them. Assure them you are working on these problems.
What to do:
- Set a good example by drinking responsibly.
- If you have a problem with alcohol abuse, make the decision to get help quitting.
Get Help for Your Child
If you think your child is drinking but will not talk with you about it, get help. Your child's health care provider may be a good place to start. Other resources are:
- Local hospitals
- Public or private mental health agencies
- Counselors at your child's school
- Student health centers
- Programs such as Alateen, part of the Al-Anon program -- www.al-anon.org/for-alateen

Hi Folks
I am sure there is a way to do that. i.e.
sniff SSL using ettercap but without false certificate ( i.e. no certificate warning )
It has been very skimpily discussed in theory. Can someone PL layout the solid steps ( or point me some place ) ,so that you can sniff SSL traffic ,WITHOUT that SSL Certificate warning.
Any tool is fine. I was thinking ethercap is the one and only. Please correct me .

After 396 Arrests, She Promises to Avoid No. 397
(NEWSER) – It's hard to fathom, but a Chicago woman has managed to get herself arrested 396 times in the last 35 years, reports NBC Chicago. This week, 52-year-old Shermain Miles got released from jail to a residential home for ex-cons, and she told the Sun-Times she is determined to avoid yet another return trip by staying away from old haunts and bad influences. "I'm really not that bad a person," she says. "It was the alcohol I was drinking that turned me into a monster."

transcript:
Even before the Mars Curiosity rover rolled its wheels across the Martian surface, it had left its marks in the soil.
This photo shows indentations, likely from the jet thrusters of the rover's landing craft. And it's not just holes in the ground.
The excavation reveals likely bedrock, indicating that the surface soil is shallow.
Curiosity is equipped with the highest resolution cameras ever placed on the planet, far improved from equipment on rovers sent to Mars years ago.
Curiosity's new home in Gale Crater doesn't look a whole lot different from parts of Earth.
SOUNDBITE: John Grotzinger, MSL Project Scientist, Caltech:  "The first impression that you get is how Earth-like this seems, looking at that landscape.  You would really be forgiven for thinking that NASA was trying to pull a fast one on you and we actually put a rover out in the Mojave Desert and took a picture."
Other early images include a self-portrait, captured from Curiosity's mast.
Its first panoramic view, with the crater rim seen at center, and the rover's body is in the foreground, with the shadow of its mast, poking up to the right.
And some video, too.  This, taken from the Mars Descent Imager, shows the "flying-saucer-like" heat shield dropping away during the rover's landing.
And finally, one of the rover's destinations looms in the background: Mount Sharp, a nearly three-and-a-half mile high mountain, higher than Mt. Rainier.

The Globe and Mail Published Thursday, Nov. 17, 2011 8:31AM EST Last updated Thursday, Nov. 17, 2011 9:28AM EST Maxime Bernier, the Minister of State for Small Business and Tourism, says he will advocate for a lower increase to Employment Insurance, but that it hinges on how well Canada's economy holds up in the new year.On Nov. 2, Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) members sent 15,000 petitions to federal MPs, expressing their concern with the plan to increase EI premiums by 10 cents for employees and 14 cents for employees per $100 in payroll in 2012. And while the feds opted for a more modest increase of 5 cents for employees and 7 cents for employers, the CFIB contintues to deem the system 'harmful' and 'unfair.'

sieyes was very busy reading his prayers, and, for a few moments, he did not perceive their departure.
The Council of Ancients was to be brought around by the influence of sieyes.
They took the hint, and divided the spoil; sieyes taking the lion's share.
sieyes, an experienced observer of such scenes, was still on horseback in the court, and quickly re-assured him.
This certainly was not very democratic, and yet sieyes was soon afterwards the most rampant of all possible democrats.
A neat remark was made upon the abbè sieyes, to whose prolific mind the revolution and all its changes have been imputed.
His name was sieyes, and you all know that he too had been a priest before the Revolution.
That of sieyes in particular, and that of Talleyrand, are master-pieces, full of life and expression.
sieyes was greatly alarmed at the generosity of some of Napoleon's acts.

A comic impersonation of Queen Elizabeth II Monday in Charlottetown in front of her son Prince Charles may have been a royal mistake.
The decision to have actor Wade Lynch reprise his familiar role has sparked negative, even angry, feedback from the public.
Tasteless, insulting and shameful are among the descriptions given to the tongue-in-cheek performance watched by Charles and his wife Camilla. However, others said they enjoyed the show and didn't express any concerns about the performance.
Camilla, in particular, appeared most put off by the performance seemingly registering expressions ranging from bemusement to disgust.
Charles did not look much more enthused over watching a man parade around on stage as the Queen.
Both Charles and Camilla sat stonefaced when Lynch, in character, served up the following introduction to the royal couple:
"There are two members of our audience that call me by quite another name and that is of course 'Mummy'. Hello kids. Surprise.''
Premier Robert Ghiz, sitting directly to Camilla's left, looked somewhat anxious over what his special guests were witnessing as intended entertainment.
Charles greeted the performance with at best half-hearted applause while Camilla lightly drummed her fingers on the back of her hand.
Lynch was surprised — and disappointed — to hear that the show had upset so many Islanders after being told of numerous negative comments coming into the newspaper.
In fact, the veteran actor believed he was hitting the mark. He felt "a lot of the jokes landed'' and he could even see the prince "sort of nodding and chuckling''.
Lynch was not able to see Camilla's reaction throughout his performance. He says the show had to be cut in half due to time constraints.
Lynch says Brenda Gallant, the director of marketing with Tourism P.E.I., first approached him with the idea to perform as the Queen in front Charles and Camilla. Gallant says this was not her idea, but noted that her department was designated as the lead for the event Monday night that included Island mucisians and fireworks.
"I said yes to the idea with trepidation,'' he said. "My concern was it sounds tacky...at first blush, it sounded like a bad idea.''
Lynch sought assurances that Clarence House, the official residence of the prince and his wife, endorsed the idea.
"I understood it was no surprise at all...that they (Charles and Camilla) were in on the joke,'' he said. "I produced a script many weeks ago that went through many filters.''
Lynch says he received feedback from the province that the prince loved the performance and was laughing and chuckling.
"If the actual Royal family was offended, I am really sorry because that was never the intention,'' he said.
Lynch first added his impersonation of the Queen to his impressive comedic repertoire many years ago and has slipped on the crown and dress more than 100 times over the years.
Have your say: What did you think of Wade Lynch's performance of "The Queen." Post a comment below and take part in our web poll, which can be found on the right-hand side of our homepage.

About Willamette ValleyView a map of Willamette Valley wineries (will-AAM-it)
Named for the river that runs through the valley from Portland to Eugene, Willamette Valley is home to some of the best Pinot Noir vineyards in the Northwest. While along the same north/south line as Seattle, the Willamette Valley is protected from Pacific rains by the Coast Range on the western border and the Cascade Ranges to the east. Though sunshine is typically plentiful, rainfall can occasionally be tricky, and the wines here vary vintage to vintage. Within the Willamette Valley is a number of sub-regions, including McMinnville, Dundee and Yamhill.
Notable FactsThe valley is known for its Pinots – Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. With a climate similar to Burgundy – in rainfall, sunlight hours and other climate factors – Pinot Noir has flourished here. Pinot Noir in Oregon produces wines that are fruit forward, yet complex, some with good agebility.
Other than Pinot Noir, many wineries grow Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. Pinot Gris from Oregon is delightful in its texture and food friendliness. Chardonnay in the valley adapts well to the cool climate and produces lean, elegant wines.

Call out those superficial minds when you spot them—Hardwick herself was fearless in that way.
"Oh, I remember well enough," said Hardwick knitting his brows.
"Oh, I'll see to that," Mr. Hardwick assured her with resolute confidence.
Mr. Allen went off on business, and Hardwick stuck to his books as if his life depended on it.
The porter led the way to Mr. Hardwick's room, and announced the visitor.
With all the money that is changing hands in the street, Hardwick won't wonder at your sudden raise or at my check.
Tell Mr. Hardwick that I shall be pleased to see him at any time.

The Port of Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners will take a closer look at portwide and project-specific labor agreements in a study session Thursday night.
The commission will discuss the application of project labor agreements, or PLAs, which allow any contractor, union and not, to bid on various phases of a public works project, but require the winning bidder to follow a set of guidelines favored by unions, including a wage and benefit package, a dispute and arbitration process, and funding for health care and workers' compensation.
The agreements also require workers to take drug tests, employers to set up apprenticeship programs, pay into a medical and dental fund for workers, and enforce job site safety standards.
In return, a public agency receives a no-strike pledge, set workforce costs and clauses preventing the project from running over budget or past its scheduled completion date.
PLAs have already been instituted in some way in a few port projects, including some phases of Middle Harbor, a $1.2 billion project that fuses two aging terminals into one mega shipping terminal.
The board will not vote on the issue this evening.
The meeting will take place at 5 p.m. in the Board Room of the Harbor Department Administration Building, 925 Harbor Plaza.

There has been a lot of recent press on the charging of monthly debit card fees by large banks, with charges ranging from $3 to $5 per month. We don't charge a fee and, in fact, offer a number of checking accounts that are fee-free. So we'd love to hear your thoughts on these debit card fees.
For some perspective on why this is happening, here is a link to an interview with a local business professor from The Baltimore Sun.

With the start of the school year, the folks over at the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) start their engines as well. NFTE's mission" is to provide programs that inspire young people from low-income communities to stay in school, recognize business opportunities and to plan for successful futures." I, along with several other colleagues at the bank, have been involved in the program at various Baltimore City schools for the last four years. As Baltimore's community bank, we work with the teachers as they incorporate the NFTE curriculum into their lesson plans. We go into the classroom on a weekly basis and work with these young entrepreneurs to help them identify business ideas, develop their business plan, and get their businesses started.
These rising young entrepreneurs in waiting then compete in local business plan competitions, first in their classroom and then against other students in a city-wide competition. At these events, they present their business plans to panels of judges for cash prizes. For those who win their local competition, there are even opportunities to compete with other young entrepreneurs from around the country. A couple of the young entrepreneurs we worked with at Patterson High School were even featured in a movie, "Ten9Eight" about a national business plan competition in New York. We've stayed in touch with one of these students who is now a sophomore pursuing a business degree at the University of Baltimore.
NFTE is a terrific organization that can really make a difference in our community. Teaching our young people financial literacy and business insight is extremely important to the Baltimore Community and we at 1st Mariner Bank are proud to be involved in such a meaningful organization. If you are looking for an opportunity to work with the youth in the city, there are plenty of ways to get involved. Visit the NFTE-Baltimore website to find out more.

Community Spotlight
I recently attended the Net.Finance conference in Chicago . It is, by far, one of the best conferences for those of us focused on the digital channels of financial services. Over the two and half days, there were three topics that dominated the event: Mobile, Personal Financial Management (PFM) tools, and Social Media. I'm going to specifically talk about the first two topics.
The first day of the conference focused on Mobile Banking services for customers. Jeff Dennes, SVP Chief Digital Officer of Huntington National Bank (and formerly with USAA), gave the Keynote address. His presentation was full of interesting observations including:
Jennifer Wilson, SVP Internet Channel Director, BBVA Compass shared her experience with the introduction of ZashPay, a Person to Person payments service from Fiserv. From an adoption perspective, they found that building a web page with a simple enrollment process was key. When they looked at the user base, they found a surprising number of small business customers who were using as an alternative to more expensive ACH services. Given these pilot results, they may develop a mobile invoicing service for their business customers.
We rolled out our Mobile Money offering in August, 2010 and have seen a significant adoption rate. Mobile continues to be a hot topic among financial services providers and may prove to be the most signficant game changer in the next couple of years.
On the second day of the conference, I was fortunate enough to be part of a panel discussion on Personal Financial Management (PFM) along with Patrick Smith of Wells Fargo, Eric Connors of Yodlee, and Edward Chang of Strands. We had a lively discussion about the benefits of PFM for our customers, the challenges of getting people to use it, and the pros and con's of aggregation services. While the benefits are pretty clear (better financial management) the biggest challenge, as noted by Patrick, is inertia. Managing your finances is certainly important, but not critical. Setting up goals and budgets falls somewhere around cleaning out the gutters on the "to do" list. The key, perhaps, is to help educate the consumers about the benefits to make it move up that list.
One of the classic differences between 1st Mariner and Wells is the approach to aggregation. Wells provides tools that help manage those accounts that are with Wells while we offer a service (Mariner360) to add all your accounts, even from other institutions. Perhaps this highlights the major difference between big and small banks. We see this as a service that is the right thing for the customer, while they look at it from an internal perspective of what is right for the organization. We (of course) think ours is the better approach.

LONG BEACH - If a dog gets 15 minutes of fame, is that an hour and 45 minutes in dog years?
One lucky local family Fido will get the chance to find out through the "Long Beach Enzo" contest by Long Beach Reads One Book.
The contest, which is under way, is connected to the long-running reading program's current selection, "The Art of Racing in the Rain." The best-selling book written by Garth Stein tells the story of Denny Swift, an aspiring race car driver, through the eyes of his dog, Enzo.
The winning dog will represent Swift's canine companion during this year's book week, March 12-19.
"The Art of Dancing in the Rain" is a tale of family, love, loyalty and hope from a four-legged perspective - the human experience as only a dog who is an aspiring human himself can tell it, Mary E. Barton, vice chairwoman of Long Beach Reads One Book, said in a statement.
"So we're looking for that lovable, curious, and wise dog who can carry the legacy of Enzo in our many Book Week activities," Barton said.
Contestants must send a picture of their dog and a 100-word essay in the "dog's" words about why he or she should be selected as Long Beach Enzo.
Entries must be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com by Jan. 18. Winners must be available for a photo shoot in late January and sign a release.
Stein will headline a week of dog- and racing-themed events when he appears March 19 at the Carpenter Center for Performing Arts.
Other Book Week events include a dog celebration at a local park, a panel on the benefits of pet ownership, a city racing history, a geocaching challenge with prizes, library programs and more. Details on the events will be posted at www.lbplfoundation.org/enzo.
Long Beach Reads One Book seeks to promote reading and community building by urging residents to read books for children and adults.
The program is in its 12 th year and is primarily sponsored by the Long Beach Public Library Foundation.

i have seen on other forums that they offer members the option to sort of keep a blog on the forum. How did it work? One could decide the name and description of the blog and the mods created an invisible/protected forum subsection (=the blog) for this user. I guess the user was then set to be admin of the group of this subsection/blog so that he could allow other people to see it if he wants to, invite others to the group and so on. It might be helpful for people to keep a "dhamma diary" of their progress and it may provide an opportunity to better get to know each other.
Best wishes,
edit: Of course it would also be important to know whether there is a demand for this feature here.

Good product
Not a miracle, but in fact I like it, because it is not sticky, does not have odor and it is important for me because I don't want that deodorants would mix up with my perfumes. It helps to lock a sweat away indeed. Only one thing that is not super, you will need to rub it in your underarm 10 times up and down, up and down in order to feel that you put some deodorant on you.

Happy With This Deodorant

Works fine for me. I do not swet a lot. Easier to apply than Hugo Naturals Dual Action Deodorant but maybe not as natural. Affordable and a big size. Almost odourless. Please, visit my page to see other products I like for example the best multivitamin and omega-3 at iHerb.
Stopped working

I was quite happy with this deo, it became one of my favorite natural deodorants. But I didn't use it for a month or so, because I wanted to finish another deodorant. And when I resumed using this one, suddenly it didn't work. Any more. It's hard to believe my bacterial flora (or something) would have changed so drastically in this short time, so I guess the active ingredients just degraded or evaporated. Five minutes after applying it and I smell already, almost worse than applying no deodorant. I've used quite a few natural deos and never had this problem of efficacy disappearing (even with very similar products), at least not nearly to this extent.

Three Stars for Deodorant -No Stars for Anti-perspirant
Posted by Reviewer1055187 on Oct 07, 2010 | Verified Purchase
This is my first review ever on iherb and I have spent thousands on this website. I was moved to write this review because I wore this deodorant called Dry by Nature for the first time today and I do believe that I sweated more than I have in a very long time. I was surprised and not too happy, given I had worn something that was not conducive to sweating. I was disappointed with the non-dry nature of this product but given it is a deodorant and not a real anti-perspirant (nor does it advertise as such but the name is a tad bit misleading) - I decided not to completely pan it. Bottom line: if you are looking for a nice natural deodorant by all means buy it but an anti-perspirant of any kind it is not.
I really like this product

I was concerned about the toxic chemicals often found in deodorants, and decided to try this. I was not expecting much. Moreover, I first used in the the harshest of environments: a week-long trip to Orlando, which was unbearably hot. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. It worked very well. The scent is pleasant and light. It isn't greasy and doesn't stain clothed. Excellent! I believe that nutritional supplements saved my life. I've tried a lot of products, and I know what works and what doesn't. My reviews are honest, straighforward, and based on my experience. Read my other reviews to quickly learn from my three decades of research and experimentation.
lasts a pretty long time.

Not sure...

I'm on the fence with this one... It was OK at first, it seemed to work very well, but then it stopped working. I can't use it during summer, and I don't think a deodorant you can only use when you don't sweat is very useful... If only it'd kept working like the first weeks... It was quite sticky too, which wasn't very pleasant.

DUI / Driver's License Checkpoint City of Goleta
Goleta - August 22nd, 2013
The Goleta Traffic Unit will be conducting a DUI / Driver's License checkpoint
on Friday August 22nd,
at an undisclosed location within the city limits between the hours of 7:00 p.m.
and 3:00 a.m. Checkpoints are placed in locations that have the greatest
opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence and provide the
greatest safety for officers and the public.
Officers will be contacting
drivers passing through the checkpoint looking for signs of alcohol and/or drug
impairment. Drivers caught driving impaired can expect jail time, license
suspension, and insurance increases, as well as fines, fees, DUI classes, court
probation and other expenses that can exceed $10,000.
This sobriety checkpoint is an
effort to reduce those tragedies and officers will be checking drivers for
proper licensing. A major component of these checkpoints is the deterrent
effect it has on those who might drive drunk or drugged impaired and bring about
more awareness, encouraging everyone to use sober designated drivers.
Funding for this operation is
provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The City of Goleta contracts with the
Santa Barbara Sheriff's Office for police services.

Major Newspapers Whitewash Obama's "Act Of Terror" Assertion
The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal provided incomplete reporting of GOP criticism that President Obama downplayed the role of terrorism in the attacks on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya. None of these newspapers provided their readers with Obama's actual comments labeling the attacks an "act of terror," thereby giving undue weight to Republican attacks.
Obama: "I Acknowledged That This Was An Act Of Terrorism"
Obama Reminds Press Of His Initial Comments On Benghazi. After Associated Press reporter Julie Pace asked President Obama at a May 13 press conference if he stood by his administration's assertions "that the [Benghazi] talking points were not purposely changed to downplay the prospects of terrorism," Obama responded by noting he referred to Benghazi as an "act of terrorism" the day after the attacks [emphasis added]:
OBAMA: With respect to Benghazi, we've now seen this argument that's been made by some folks primarily up on Capitol Hill for months now. And I've just got to say -- here's what we know. Americans died in Benghazi. What we also know is clearly they were not in a position where they were adequately protected. The day after it happened, I acknowledged that this was an act of terrorism. And what I pledged to the American people was that we would find out what happened, we would make sure that it did not happen again, and we would make sure that we held accountable those who had perpetrated this terrible crime. [WhiteHouse.gov, 5/13/13 [1]]
Media Run With GOP Critique But Don't Report Obama's Comments That Address GOP Critique
NYT: Republicans Accused Obama Administration Of Trying To "Cover Up The Fact That The Benghazi Attacks Were Linked To Terrorism." The New York Times' report on President Obama's May 13 remarks ignored Obama's comments during the press conference that he referred to an act of terror following the attacks, and instead highlighted Republican claim that the administration sought to downplay terrorism. From The New York Times:
Responding to Republican accusations that the administration had tried to cover up the fact that the Benghazi attacks were linked to terrorism, Mr. Obama noted that he sent the head of the National Counterterrorism Center to brief lawmakers three days after Susan Rice, the ambassador to the United Nations, appeared on Sunday-morning talk shows.
"Who executes some sort of cover-up or effort to tamp things down for three days?" he said. "This whole thing defies logic." [The New York Times, 5/13/13 [2]]
Wash. Post: Republicans Say Editing Of Talking Points Is "Evidence That Obama Sought To Downplay" Link To Terrorism In Benghazi Attacks. From The Washington Post's report on President Obama's May 13 press conference:
The final version did not include earlier references to a specific terrorist group involved in the attacks, an omission Congressional Republicans have pointed to as evidence that Obama sought to downplay the link during a then-close presidential race.
"The whole issue of talking points throughout this process has been a side show," Obama said Monday. "Suddenly three days ago this gets spun up as if there is something new to the story. There's no there there."
Obama continued, "The whole thing defies logic, and the fact that this keeps getting churned out frankly has a lot to do with political motivations." [The Washington Post, 5/13/13 [3]]
WSJ: Republicans "Charge The Administration Withheld The Truth About The Assault Because It Showed Terrorism Remained A Threat." From a Wall Street Journal article on President Obama's May 13 press conference:
Congressional Republicans are seeking to make more headway on the investigation into the Sept. 11, 2012, assault on U.S. posts in Benghazi, which claimed the life of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens.
They charge the administration withheld the truth about the assault because it showed terrorism remained a threat, counter to a key message in Mr. Obama's re-election campaign last year.
The investigation gained new momentum last week when longtime diplomat Gregory Hicks, the second-ranking official in the U.S. embassy in Tripoli during the attack, gave a detailed narrative to a congressional committee. [The Wall Street Journal, 5/13/13 [4]]
Obama Repeatedly Called Benghazi An "Act Of Terror" In The Days Following The Attacks
Sept. 12: Obama Said Of Benghazi: "No Acts Of Terror Will Ever Shake The Resolve Of This Great Nation." On September 12, the day after the attack on the U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi which resulted in the deaths of four Americans, President Obama gave a speech in the Rose Garden. He said, "No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done." [WhiteHouse.gov, 9/12/12 [5]]
Sept. 12: In Nevada, Obama Said Of Benghazi: "No Act Of Terror Will Dim The Light" Of American Values. Later on September 12, Obama again labeled the Benghazi attacks an "act of terror." He told a crowd in Las Vegas, Nevada, "As for the ones we lost last night: I want to assure you, we will bring their killers to justice. And we want to send a message all around the world -- anybody who would do us harm: No act of terror will dim the light of the values that we proudly shine on the rest of the world, and no act of violence will shake the resolve of the United States of America." [WhiteHouse.gov, 9/12/12 [6]]
Sept. 13: Obama Again Referred To The Benghazi Attack As An "Act Of Terror" In Colorado. Campaigning in Golden, Colorado, on September 13, Obama again classified the Benghazi attack as an "act of terror." He told the crowd, "So what I want all of you to know is that we are going to bring those who killed our fellow Americans to justice. I want people around the world to hear me: To all those who would do us harm, no act of terror will go unpunished." [WhiteHouse.gov, 9/13/12 [7]]

DOVER, DE -- Officials in Gov. Jack Markell's administration said they plan to introduce a bill this month legalizing video lottery operations by veterans and fraternal groups, according to local news outlets. The administration hopes for quick passage through the Legislature by month's end. | SEE STORY
Video lottery terminals placed in veterans and fraternal clubs are legal under an emergency measure, which passed on Jan. 30 and is set to expire on June 30.
Administration officials said they were persuaded to support VLTs for the VFW and other groups in large measure because local communities and charities, which benefit financially from the games, lobbied for them.
Mechanisms of state control of VLTs and percentage of revenues set aside for charities were the key items under negotiation in early March, administration officials said.
Meantime, the Delaware State Lottery has requested bids for proposals to launch online video gambling by Sept. 30. Delaware was the first state to legalize online casino style gambling.

BALTIMORE, Md. – The Tigers used a strong defensive stand in the final five minutes to secure a 7-6 upset victory at No. 12 Loyola on Saturday afternoon. It was the first win over a ranked opponent for the Tigers (3-0) since they defeated James Madison in April of last season.
"I'm extremely proud of the effort from our girls today," said Coach Sonia LaMonica. "The team did a great job of battling today, Mary Teeters came up with some big saves for us and I thought Michelle Dufault and Alexa Demski did extremely well with some tough defensive match-ups for us."
Loyola opened the scoring with a goal from Cass Cursaro with 24:08 to play in the first half. The Tigers answered quickly as senior attacker Sarah Appelt scored on a free position attempt with 23:23 to go in the half.
The score remained tied at 1-1 until 9:48 when Appelt scored her second free position goal of the game. Less then a minute later, the Tigers would make a 3-1 game as junior midfielder Ashley Waldron scored off a free position shot. Towson scored its fourth goal of the half at 4:02 as sophomore attacker Rhiannon Coogle scored on a free position goal.
The Greyhounds (1-2) would score one more time in the half as the Tigers took a 4-2 lead into the break.
Towson out shot the Greyhounds 12-9 in the first half and was a perfect 4-for-4 on free position attempts.
Loyola pulled to within one, 4-3 with a goal at 27:47 of the second half. Leading 5-3 following a goal from sophomore midfielder Kelly Murkey, Towson saw Loyola score three of the next four games to tie the contest at 6-6 with 6:27 to play.
The Tigers broke the 6-6 tie with 5:01 to play as redshirt sophomore attacker Ashleigh Rohrback scored off an assist from sophomore attacker Andi Raymond. Teeters came through with a couple of key stops in the final five minutes to secure the victory.
Teeters finished with 11 saves in goal to earn the win for the Tigers. Teeters' ninth save of the game gave her 500 for her career. She is the seventh player in program history to record 500 saves for their career. Kerry Stoothoff made eight saves for Loyola in the loss.
Loyola finished the game with a 25-20 edge in shots while Towson had a 10-5 advantage in draw controls.
Towson will be back in action on Wednesday, Mar. 7 when it travels to Johns Hopkins fpr a 5 p.m. game

Ecosystems and Biodiversity
UNDP is committed to building the capacities of developing countries and economies in transition to manage their biodiversity in line with their own priorities and needs. Through the provision of sound policy advice, and the development and implementation of programmes that help demonstrate sound biodiversity management practices on-the-ground and build capacity to sustain them, UNDP helps more than 140 countries to conserve and sustainably use biodiversity, and to secure ecosystem services that are vital to human welfare and their development efforts.
UNDP has developed a Biodiversity and Ecosystems Global Framework for the period 2012-2020, positioning the organization to respond to future challenges – which include implementing the global Aichi Biodiversity Targets set out in the CBD Strategic Plan and advancing the sustainable development agenda that emerged from the Rio+20 Summit.
UNDP's work on biodiversity and ecosystems is organized under the following key areas in which UNDP is providing technical and policy advice to governments, and support in accessing finance, building on proven best practices and encouraging innovation for development.
- Integrating Biodiversity into Development
- Unlocking the Potential of Protected Areas
- Ecosystem-based Mitigation of & Adaptation to Climate Change
These key areas aim to maintain and enhance the goods and services provided by biodiversity and ecosystems in order to secure livelihoods, food, water and health, enhance resilience, conserve threatened species and their habitats, and increase carbon storage and sequestration.
Two key approaches underpin our work:
- Developing capacity at the individual, institutional and systemic levels to identify and implement new options for effective democratic governance for biodiversity and ecosystem management; and
- Assisting countries to identify, access, combine and sequence environmental finance for biodiversity and ecosystem management, mobilize pro-poor markets for ecosystem goods and services, and generate sustainable livelihoods.
Our work at a glance
UNDP's biodiversity and ecosystems portfolio is the largest in the UN system. We work in 146 countries, managing 512 projects on ecosystems and biodiversity with US$ 1.5 billion in funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and other sources, and co-financing of US$ 3.5 billion. The ecosystems and biodiversity programme has been successful in:
- helping to strengthen over 2,000 protected areas in 85 countries, covering 272 million hectares;
- undertaking interventions in production sectors and development planning in 38 countries, covering 244 million hectares; and
- promoting ecosystem-based adaptation to or mitigation of climate change in 71 countries.
UNDP also implements the GEF Small Grants Programme and the Equator Initiative partnership, working with indigenous peoples and local communities on groundbreaking work in biodiversity conservation and sustainable development. A number of other UNDP programmes also contribute to biodiversity management, including the Poverty-Environment Initiative, the UN-REDD Programme, and UNDP's Nairobi-based Drylands Development Centre.
UNDP's success depends on effective strategic partnerships across a wide range of organizations, sectors and disciplines, working together with programme countries; international, national and local action groups; and local communities; the biodiversity-related Conventions, in particular the CBD and CCD; the UNFCCC; the GEF and other donor partners; development organizations including other UN organizations and development banks; research and science organizations; and the private sector.
UNDP will continue to play a key role within the GEF partnership in spearheading biodiversity and ecosystem management around the world. The GEF is the designated financing mechanism for the Rio Conventions and other multilateral agreements, and the single largest source of finance for biodiversity and ecosystem management globally.

I have long since loathed using this piece of hardware ever since I got my Gateway MT6452 with it built in. It was annoying, and horrible to work with. It frustrated me for the longest time, and I even considered throwing my laptop out of my window in my anger. Hopefully I can save you a little bit of that, with a few simple steps.
First off, since 2.6.23- the RTL8187 driver has been included vanilla, so you could look into that.
Anyway, to get this driver up, it's pretty straightforward. You need to load two modules:
modprobe r8187
From there it is pretty much up to you. Configuring it with ifconfig, iwconfig, or other tools is all on you. However I have written a small bash script which you can use to configure your network located on sourceforge:Code:
modprobe mac80211
(I had to put it in the code brackets because apparently you can't post a link until you have 15 posts) :PCode:
If you want to use that, here's how:
Download wlan0up_BT3.
cd into the directory that you downloaded it to, Firefox's default directory for Backtrack is /root so that is probably where you will find it.
Now rename it to just wlan0up:Code:
cd /root
Change the permissions so that it can be executable:Code:
mv wlan0up_BT3 wlan0up
And then move it to your /bin directly, so you can just type "wlan0up" to get it running:Code:
chmod a+x wlan0up
Now you can typeCode:
mv wlan0up /bin/wlan0up
in a terminal, and it will give you the options to do the following:Code:
Shutdown all other interfaces besides wlan0
(I recommend this, because for me I had some issues in the past with other interfaces interfering with wlan0)
Typeto accept thatCode:
Would you like to change the mode of wlan0?
Answering "y" here will let you select managed, auto, or monitor, adhoc or whatever.
Just select "n" here because the mode should be at managed, which is the default.
Would you like to list the networks available?
Typing "y" here will show you the available networks, and their information.
If you know the essid of the network, just say "n" here otherwise review the essids available.
Now please enter network name
Here you should enter your essid.
for instance
Now enter the p4ssw0rdz. If there is no key, enter off.Code:
Enter you WEP key here, or wpa or what have you.
Would you like to get your DHCP request? y/nCode:
Type "y" to automatically configure your IP settings, and netmask, and all of the other goodies that DHCP can do for you.
If you typed "n" you will be met with prompts to set up your static info.
Next it pings google, make sure you get a connection here.
And lastly it uses the macchanger tool to fake your MAC address. This isn't important for you to configure your network, I mainly wrote this tool for myself, and I like to fake my MAC address when I get onto wireless networks a lot. Type "y" to input your new MAC, or "n" to skip this step.
And that's all, you should be connected to the network.
Have fun pwning teh n00bs and watching your pr0n.

Major error: FOX's Garrett forwarded pro-life agenda in misreporting abortion poll
On the January 24 edition of FOX News' Special Report with Brit Hume, general assignment reporter Major Garrett [1] incorrectly reported that a New York Times/CBS News poll [2] "shows only a third [of Americans] want to keep access to abortion as it is now." But the poll in question did not provide an option for those who favor current abortion law; it gave only the following options after asking respondents "Which of these comes closest to your view" on abortion: "Should be generally available," "Available with stricter limits," or "Should not be permitted." Garrett reported the numbers while covering a pro-life rally protesting the 32nd anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion.
The poll shows that 34 percent of respondents believe abortion "Should be generally available," but that is not the same as keeping "access to abortion as it is now." As Garrett himself accurately [3] noted moments later on Special Report, "current statistics show that abortions are not available in 87 percent of the nation's counties." Other restrictions include the ban on late-term abortions [4]; parental notification and consent laws [5]; and restrictions [6] on abortions for those who rely on the federal government for their health care.
According to a list of polls [7] compiled by the nonpartisan National Journal's Poll Track (subscription required), three polls in 2004 specifically asked the question that Garrett falsely claimed the Times/CBS poll asked: whether Americans want to keep abortion law as it currently stands. All three polls showed majorities opposed to new restrictions on access to abortion. Fifty-eight percent of respondents either opposed or strongly opposed "Making it more difficult for a woman to get an abortion," according to a Pew Research Center poll conducted February 11-16; an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll conducted March 6-8 indicated that respondents opposed "tougher restrictions on abortion" by 50 percent to 43 percent; and a National Annenberg Election Survey conducted September 21-26 found that respondents opposed "laws making it more difficult for a woman to get an abortion" by 55 percent to 39 percent.
Poll Track shows that pollsters received different results when they asked questions about abortion law without referring to current regulations. Two ABC News/Washington Post polls (one conducted May 20-23 and one conducted December 16-19) showed that 54 percent and 55 percent of respondents, respectively, believe abortion should be legal in "all" or "most" cases. Two Los Angeles Times polls (one conducted June 5-8 and one conducted July 17-21) found that 57 percent and 51 percent of respondents, respectively, believe abortion should be "Illegal, except in cases of rape, incest and to save the life of the mother" or "illegal without exceptions." A TIME magazine poll conducted October 14-15 indicated that 45 percent of respondents believe "abortion should only be legal in certain circumstances, such as when a woman's health is endangered or when the pregnancy results from rape or incest" and 9 percent believe it should be illegal in "all circumstances, even if the mother's life is in danger."
Garrett described the New York Times/CBS News poll -- which was conducted November 18-21 -- as the "most recent poll" on abortion. But numerous others [8], including a new New York Times/CBS News poll [9] which had similar results, have since been published.
