Where does Somalia's Al Shabab suicide attack leave the government?
Tuesday's suicide attack by Somalia's Al Shabab, which killed more than 30 people, including six members of parliament, leaves the transitional government's tenuous hold on power even weaker.
Mohamed Olad Hassan/AP
Johannesburg, South Africa
They came to power as Somalia's best hope for peace, a government composed of traditional Somali elders, clan leaders, and businessmen under the leadership of a religious scholar, President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed.
But if Tuesday's attack on Somali parliamentarians in the heart of their own territory in Mogadishu shows anything, it is that the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) of Somalia – put together at a conference table in Djibouti in January 2007 after a six-month long occupation by Ethiopian forces – is a government in name only.
In the past three years, and under two separate presidents, the TFG has only managed to hold onto a few city blocks, the airport, the seaport, and the presidential palace – and only with support from African Union peacekeepers. The so-called African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) has proved to be a mixed blessing, in fact, because it has relieved the Somali government of its most basic responsibility: to protect itself.

Ubuntu's Message of the Day
If you're familiar with Ubuntu Server, you may have noticed the message of the day whenever you log in via SSH, something similar to this:
Welcome to Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-29-generic x86_64) * Documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/ System information as of Tue Sep 4 19:14:57 EDT 2012 System load: 0.0 Processes: 103 Usage of /: 5.8% of 38.23GB Users logged in: 0 Memory usage: 34% IP address for eth0: 192.168.1.150 Swap usage: 0% Graph this data and manage this system at https://landscape.canonical.com/ 0 packages can be updated. 0 updates are security updates. Last login: Tue Sep 4 18:47:43 2012 from compy.workgroup.local
This sort of output displayed on login eliminates the need to check things like free memory or how much storage space remains on the server. This saves us a few steps if we ever need to see this information. However, this feature isn't available on Fedora Linux by default. If we continue to follow the mantra that a lazy systems administrator is a good systems administrator, we should implement a solution to generate similar output when we access Fedora systems just the same as our Ubuntu servers.
Basic system monitoring tools
Before we create a Fedora-based solution for the message of the day, let's take a look at a few system monitoring tools: uptime
, free
, ps
, who
, ifconfig
, and df
displays the system uptime (how long the system has been running uninterrupted) along with the number of users accessing the system and load averages, displayed as values corresponding to 1-, 5-, and 15-minute periods of time:
$ uptime 20:44:38 up 4 days, 21:36, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.05
In addition to uptime, we can also view the load averages by reading the file /proc/loadavg:
$ cat /proc/loadavg 0.00 0.01 0.05 1/131 5109
Load averages are handy values for determining the performance of the system, and I highly recommend reading this excellent blog post explaining what they mean. Linux Journal also does an excellent job explaining load averages just the same, albeit more complex.
displays memory usage in kilobytes:
$ free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 1019500 630080 389420 0 108828 367348 -/+ buffers/cache: 153904 865596 Swap: 524284 0 524284
We can make the output of free
more readable by adding the -m
switch, which will display the output in megabytes instead of kilobytes:
$ free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 995 615 380 0 106 358 -/+ buffers/cache: 150 845 Swap: 511 0 511
The fields to take note of would be the first three columns of the first row: total, used, and free; these three give us a pretty good idea of how the system is running with physical memory.
displays the processes running on the system:
$ ps PID TTY TIME CMD 4263 pts/0 00:00:00 bash 4365 pts/0 00:00:00 ps
That's fine, but it only displays two processes: the current bash shell you are running and ps. That doesn't really tell us what else is running on the system and therefore fails to give us an accurate view of how many processes the system is handling at the moment. To see all processes, we use the switch -e
to display every process (which I will not include here if only for brevity). Try it out on your system:
$ ps -e
displays the current users logged into the system. The aforementioned command uptime
does this just the same; however, uptime
only provides us with the number of users logged in and doesn't tell us who is accessing the system.
$ who daniel pts/0 2012-09-06 11:42 (testbox.business.local)
displays network settings for the server, specifically the name of the connection, the type, the hardware/MAC address, IP address, subnet/netmask, etc. In single-NIC configurations, the first entry is the one that represents the network connection for the server. For example:
$ ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet addr:192.168.1.150 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.0.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:386875 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:46620 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:71835819 (71.8 MB) TX bytes:10015855 (10.0 MB) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:192.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:374 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:374 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:36528 (36.5 KB) TX bytes:36528 (36.5 KB)
Knowing the name of the first entry allows us to filter for just that data when we pass ifconfig
the name:
$ ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet addr:192.168.1.150 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.0.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:386875 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:46620 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:71835819 (71.8 MB) TX bytes:10015855 (10.0 MB)
identifies disk free space. You can specify a mount point to identify the free disk space on just that mount point to filter results from the whole file system. We use the switch -h
to display output in human-readable format.
$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on rootfs 50G 2.5G 45G 6% / devtmpfs 1.4G 0 1.4G 0% /dev tmpfs 1.5G 0 1.5G 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 1.5G 356K 1.5G 1% /run /dev/mapper/vg_compy-lv_root 50G 2.5G 45G 6% / tmpfs 1.5G 0 1.5G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs 1.5G 0 1.5G 0% /media /dev/sda2 497M 88M 385M 19% /boot /dev/mapper/vg_compy-lv_home 178G 42G 127G 25% /home
Let's see what happens when we specify the root mount point:
$ df -h / Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/vg_compy-lv_root 50G 2.5G 45G 6% /
The script
Below is a bash script I wrote to use the aforementioned tools and harness their output for a simple informative display when we log in to our Fedora server, just the same as if you were accessing an Ubuntu server:
#!/bin/bash # SysLogin echo -ne "Welcome to" `awk '{print $1, $3}' /etc/redhat-release` "($OSTYPE" `uname -r`" $HOSTTYPE)\n\n" echo -e " * Documentation: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/\n" echo -ne " System information as of" `date` "\n\n" echo -ne " System load: " `awk '{print $1}' /proc/loadavg` "\n" echo -ne " Processes: " `ps -e | wc -l` "\n" echo -ne " Usage of /: " `df -h / | sed -n 2p | awk '{print $5}'` "of" `df -h / | sed -n 2p | awk '{print $2}'`"\n" memtotal=`free | sed -n 2p | awk '{print $2}'` memused=`free | sed -n 2p | awk '{print $3}'` memperc=`echo "scale=4; ($memused / $memtotal) * 100" | bc | cut -d. -f 1` echo -ne " Memory usage: $memperc%\n" echo -ne " Users: " `who | wc -l` "\n" echo -ne " IP address for" `ifconfig | sed -n 1p | awk '{print $1}'` "is" `ifconfig | grep "inet addr:" | sed -n 1p | awk '{print $2}' | cut -d: -f2` echo -e "\n"
Installation of the script
To install the script, you must first log in to the Fedora Linux server and create a new file named .syslogin
making sure to add the .
before the name of the script. This means the file will appear hidden to users who perform a simple directory listing with ls
. Open the file with nano:
$ nano .syslogin
Copy and paste the code from the above section entitled "The script", save the file, and close nano. Next, we need to make the script executable so it can be run at login. To do that, we change the file permissions with chmod
$ chmod 700 .syslogin
Lastly, we need to add a line to the user's bash profile to ensure that the file is run at login. On Fedora systems, this file is usually .bash_profile
$ nano .bash_profile
At the end of the file add the following code:
Save the file and close nano. We use $HOME
instead of the file's literal address because $HOME
is a variable set by the system to reference the user's home folder.
Install bc
if not already present to allow the script to perform math calculations. bc
is a calculator application included with most Linux distributions.
$ sudo yum install bc
When you log in again to your server you should be greeted with output similar to Ubuntu's Message of the Day:
Welcome to Fedora 16 (linux-gnu 3.4.7-1.fc16.x86_64 x86_64) * Documentation: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/ System information as of Wed Sep 5 09:39:50 EDT 2012 System load: 0.11 Processes: 95 Usage of /: 6% of 50G Memory usage: 95% Users: 1 IP address for eth0 is 192.168.1.150
How does it work?
Though there are some fantastic sources out there on bash programming and scripting, I feel it might be helpful to explain how this script works just in case someone is interested in modifying or improving the code.
Only one of the first two lines is necessary, and that's the first line. The first line #!/bin/bash
tells the system which shell to use when running this script. The second line is the name of the script/application, preceded by a hash to indicate that what follows is a comment and should not be read by bash as code to be executed.
#!/bin/bash # syslogin
The next line of code parses a text-file and displays the values of two system variables. We use echo -ne
to display the information from the commands on the same line and to acknowledge \n
newline characters. The first thing is to parse the text-file /etc/redhat-release
with awk
, which prints only the first and third columns of the text-file. We finish by printing the system variables $OSTYPE
and $HOSTTYPE
along with running the command uname -r
to print the OS type, the kernel version, and the host type (x86, x86_64).
echo -ne "Welcome to" `awk '{print $1, $3}' /etc/redhat-release` "($OSTYPE" `uname -r`" $HOSTTYPE)\n"
Now let's add a link to the official documentation website for the Fedora Project using echo, which is the command we will consistently use to display output.
echo -e " * Documentation: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/\n"
Now we can start providing some system information to the user, more specifically, let's add a timestamp to the output so if it's ever copied and pasted, someone will have the corresponding date and time. We print a line and make a call to the command date
echo -ne " System information as of" `date` "\n\n"
Although we could use uptime
to print the 1-minute load average, we could just as easily parse the text-file /proc/loadavg
. Specifically, we parse the text-file with awk
and print just the first column, which represents the 1-minute load average. If you wanted to display the 5- or 15-minute load average, you could substitute $1
for $2
or $3
, the values representing the second and third columns of /proc/loadavg
echo -ne " System load: " `awk '{print $1}' /proc/loadavg` "\n"
As we saw earlier, we can run ps -e
to display all running processes; however, it doesn't provide us with a count of how many processes are running. Therefore, we pipe the output of ps -e
to wc -l
, which is a command that performs word counts, or with the -l
switch, line counts. We're literally just counting the lines of output.
This will also count the first line of output, which is not an actual process but the heading for ps
. Essentially our process count will be slightly off–specifically off by just one–although even that is not entirely accurate. Invoking ps
is a process and also part of this count, which some may consider inaccurate just the same.
echo -ne " Processes: " `ps -e | wc -l` "\n"
Next, let's parse the output of df -h /
to print the percentage of disk usage in relation to the total size of the disk. Fortunately, these values already exist, so there is no need for maths just yet. If we want to make the output appear the same as how Ubuntu displays the information, we want to show disk usage as a percentage of the total. We pipe df -h /
to sed
to extract only the second row of output, then pipe that row to awk
to print the fifth column, the percentage of disk usage. We perform the same task a second time to extract the total, only we select the second column of text instead of the fifth. Because we are calling df
in human-readable format, we do not need to convert the total value from kilobytes.
echo -ne " Usage of /: " `df -h / | sed -n 2p | awk '{print $5}'` "of" `df -h / | sed -n 2p | awk '{print $2}'`"\n"
Now we create some variables and do some math. Because we would like to display memory usage as a percentage, we need to first extract values from free
, then determine the percentage of used memory and print it. Using sed
and awk
we can extract the total memory available to the system and the used memory, stored as variables memtotal
and memused
. We then create another variable, memperc
, which we derive by dividing memused
by memtotal
and multiplying that value by 100 so it doesn't appear as a decimal when displayed.
The math here invokes bc
and sets the scale to 4, which means calculations will retain 4 decimal places. This is done for accuracy when performing calculations, but when printing the variable memperc
we don't want to see 4 decimals after the percentage. To remove these spurious numerals, we pipe the output of bc
to cut
with the switch -d.
to display output only up to the character preceding the decimal point. Lastly, we display that percentage.
memtotal=`free | sed -n 2p | awk '{print $2}'` memused=`free | sed -n 2p | awk '{print $3}'` memperc=`echo "scale=4; ($memused / $memtotal) * 100" | bc | cut -d. -f 1` echo -ne " Memory usage: $memperc%\n"
Similar to how we displayed the number of processes, we will do the same for the command who
to display the number of users accessing the system. Pipe the output of who
to wc -l
to count the lines of output and therefore provide us with the number of users logged in to the system. Unlike ps
, there are no headings to worry about, so this will always be accurate as opposed to our previous attempts to count processes.
echo -ne " Users: " `who | wc -l` "\n"
Lastly, we finish with the script by parsing the output of ifconfig
to display the IP address for the first network interface card on the system. The first thing we do is extract the first row and column of ifconfig
to get the name of the NIC using sed
and awk
. Next, we extract the IP address by piping ifconfig
to grep
, which has been told to filter on the phrase "inet addr:"
and extract the first row and second column, ignoring all characters after the IP address. Notice how cut -d:
looks different than it did in a previous example. Before we selected the .
as the delimiter, but in this command we used :
as the delimiter.
echo -ne " IP address for" `ifconfig | sed -n 1p | awk '{print $1}'` "is" `ifconfig | grep "inet addr:" | sed -n 1p | awk '{print $2}' | cut -d: -f2` echo -e "\n"

In order to maintain an untenable position, you have to be actively ignorant*. —Stephen Colbert
*actively ignorant means lying, cheating and stealing to achieve the desired result. -
Who pays Rove's salary and expenses? Is he privately funded? By whom? Is he funded by taxpayer dollars? If so, WHY? John Boehner, can you answer us that?
A question…If, as FAUX Noise claimed, Hillary was FAKING the head injury to "avoid answering questions about Benghazi", then why NOW are they supporting Rove's claim that she's not qualified to be President because of her "Head Injury"??? The SAME injury they said she NEVER HAD!!
You CAN'T have it both way, guys!
Oh wait…this is FAUX Noise we are talking about…they live in a completely separate world from reality, where they claim you CAN have it both ways! -
My guess is he's paid through is PACs.
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!" — Upton SInclair (1934).
He "is dull, naturally dull; but it must have taken him a great deal of pains to become what we now see him. Such an excess of stupidity, sir, is not in Nature." — Samuel Johnson (1709-1784).
Johnson was speaking of Thomas Sheridan, but I think it one of the great barbs of history. It doesn't really apply to Rove. Rove is a very smart man, I won't dispute it, but smart is not the same thing as wise. Many of Rove's sort have brains, what they lack is wisdom. -
Interesting how librals were so concern about Cheney's heart. Yet he is still today Ok and in his right mind. Yet you have Biden who has not been in his right mind for a long time.
ah, poor liberals can not handle a little mud thrown on the next anointed one. They can sure sling it. So if it was not brain damage why can she not remember what happened on 9 11 12?
"what difference does it make?" Obama got re elected and she does not have to run against Mitt. -
It was the press that said he said
"Of course she doesn't have brain damage," he said in an interview with The Washington Post.
But Rove said that it is apparent that Clinton suffered "a serious health episode." He added that if she runs for president in 2016, "she is going to have to be forthcoming" about the details of where, how and when it happened. -
As a conservative I wish Rove and the Tea party would go away
Let's see: Nixon was a sleazebag back when Joe McCarthy was a sleazebag. Rove was a sleazebag much later in Nixon's sleazebag career. Where is Edward R. Murrow when we need him?
Oh, yeah, Cheney. Back when Rove said it was dishonorable to bring a politician's health into the discussion.
An' Harley knows that's true coz it was written in a righwing blog nobody ever heard of 'til HE posted the link
Hallelujah! -
What's really funny is listening to the same Tea-Party folks who were bashing Rove as a RINO only a couple of years back now rushing to defend him

Power Supply Design Strategy--Solid State for Tube Amp, From Morgan Jones
Hi All,
I posted this on the World Designs forum, but thought I'd add it on this side of the ocean, in case someone is interested. I've been studying the power supply design chapter in Morgan Jones' Valve Amplifiers. It's quite mathematical, and I certainly don't understand it all, but I hope I've managed to derive a useful design strategy from it. (Note I didn't say the *best* design strategy.) I'm post it here, for your consideration and comments. Any pointers to better online info on PS design would be great! Here's what I've come up with--anything good should be credited to Jones. Regarding anything stupid, well, the source is obvious: 0. Create a filter consisting of either an initial LC filter, or a CLC filter, followed by as many RC stages as necessary. In other words LCRCRC... or CLCRCRC... (this is not Jone's prescription, but my interpretation of it for this discussion--of course there are myriad ways to make a filter--this just seems a reasonable pair of strategies) 1. Select transformer VAC and current rating Current rating should be at least as high as the anticipated load. VAC should be such that the DC component after the first filter element (either L or C) is a bit higher than the desired B+, to allow for additional voltage loss after filtering. I decided on 20V over B+ Initial inductors supply DC of approximately 0.9VAC. Large initial capacitors supply DC of approximately 1.4VAC, down to 0.9VAC for small caps--this allows tuning of the DC voltage. 2. Select either an inductor or capacitor as the initial filter element. As seen above, inductors supply less voltage, but are less subject to voltage changes in response to load change. They also are more finicky, and require a minimum load (current flow) in order to function correctly. With too little load the voltage also drifts up towards 1.4VAC. Capacitors supply more voltage and do not require a minimum current draw to filter correctly, but are more prone to changing voltage in response to changes from the nominal load. I selected a capacitor input, and the following steps follow that path. 3. If going capacitor input, size the initial cap so ripple is 5% of DC. I'm guessing/hoping this keeps inrush current to a reasonable level , along with the corresponding RFI. My manipulation of Jones' equations for this results in: C1 = I_Load/(5 * V_B+) 4. To stabilize the filter, add a resistance in series with the inductance in the the LC filter to give it a Q of 0.5 My manipulations give the equation: R_additional = 2*Sqrt(L/C) - R_inductor 5. Determine the R necessary to drop the voltage at the LC filter to the desired B+ 6. Decide how many RC stages are necessary to drop the ripple after the LC filter to an acceptable level, divide Step 5's R by that number, and calculate the value of the C's in each of these RC stages. Unfortunately you'll have to buy the book to do this. It's easy once understood, but it involves consulting a table. It wouldn't be fair to Jones to reproduce it here. Jone's strategy seems elegant, for it allows iterative RC filters to do the work of a single RC filter, with smaller individual capacitors and less total capacitance. Example: I'm building an Aikido Headphone Amp based on John Broskie's Aikido Headphone Amplifier Recipe on TubeCad.com. It' requires a B+ of 250V, and I'm guessing that it has constant average current draw of 50mA, so I went with a capacitor input filter. I also want to incorporate a 10H 270R inductor I have, along with a 100uF ASC oil filled capacitor for the final cap. Using the above strategy I came up with this as the filter sequence: C(L+R)CRCRCRC. Specifically 225VAC, 40uF, 10H/270R + 424R (for Q = 0.5), 83uF, 147R, 90uF, 147R, 90uF, 147R, 90uF. PSUDII gives me a B+ of 250V and ripple of 13uV, and I do not see any ringing in response to stepped load changes, just a smooth rise/fall to a new voltage. Whew! I hope folks find this useful in some fashion, and invite your comments. Best Regards, George

The finding of the right homeopathic remedy for each individual case is a very complicated affair and should be handled only with those who are really competent homeopaths with experience and most important have had a thorough and correct education. Such well-trained homeopaths are diploma holders of the Academy, and can be found in the appropriate section in this site.
Anyhow for the un- initiated laymen who want to deal with simple functional health problems Tissue Salts by Schussler is good book and guide as it poses no threat for side effects.
These tissue salts are natural ingredients of the human organism and are diluted to the point (6x-1:1.000.000) that the organism itself dilutes them from food before absorbing them .
Before you decide on any one of them study carefully all of them.
The International Academy of Classical Homeopathy led by Prof.George Vithoulkas is known for its serious work in educating young and also experienced homeopaths in its buildings in the beautiful island of Alonissos.
A new series of educational classes will start that will last for two years.
In these classes will be presented the complete teachings of the Academy in video form and Prof.George Vithoulkas will be teaching live for 2 hours a day.

In Powerful Peace, J. Robert DuBois takes on a crucial, unprecedented mission for a U.S. Navy SEAL: the relentless pursuit of interpersonal and international peacemaking. With gut wrenching candor and surprising moments of comedy, he narrates a personal journey through decades of conflict, its often-absurd origins, its ever-present innocent victims, and its potential solutions. Most importantly, Robert delivers practical recommendations for private citizens and policy makers alike. He offers rare context for students of international relations, community leaders, and soldiers bound for unfamiliar lands.
Powerful Peace is the unvarnished ground truth on face-to-face engagements worldwide. Robert DuBois demonstrates that prevention of hostile intent is far more necessary to genuine security than the race for tactical or technological superiority. Whether countering Soviets, terrorists, insurgents or improvised explosive devices, he observes and reports on the fundamental similarities behind hatreds. Ignorance and misunderstanding poison human potential. Dignity and respect are powerful antidotes.
Powerful Peace is the fascinating story of human beings--in war and peace and school and work and play--learning to better understand others to avoid unnecessary conflict and enrich the world. Seasoned by professional experience in more than thirty countries, Robert has plainly "been there, done that..".yet his insightful conclusions on fighting may surprise you.

ok so i'm running CM7 on my DInc2 with golauncher EX and a custom theme on golauncher. i'm a stickler for a theme to match all around and i would like to change the color of the items in my status bar from the standard CM7 bluish color. do i need to find a different theme on golauncherEX that will let me change these items or is it a CM7 things and i can't change them?
theres a thread about statusbar+ advailable In the market. It still beta, free version doesn't let u change anything, actually just shows clock, but paid is suppose to allow all sorts of changes. posted tomorrow using the space time continuum app on my D1...
Here is a link to all the cm7 theme chooser themes. Cm use to have more status bar tweaks, but I think they took some out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...7-11] Theme Chooser Themes - Over 210 Themes! Sent from my ADR6350
If you are just looking to change colors, the theme chooser themes will work for that. They skin the whole rest of the OS though, but that is not a bad thing. The XDA thread that Stelv posted is the best list out there, or you can search for many in the market by searching for CM7 theme. Just install it like an app and then go to the theme chooser in your app drawer and install it, reboot and go. Some of my favorite themes are by BSThemes https://market.android.com/developer?pub=BSThemes Good luck and enjoy customizing!

Check out this crazy but true news: the FBI can now listen in on anyone's conversations through personal cell phones, even when the cell phone is turned off! They can manually turn on the mic and eavesdrop on whatever you are doing. Yet another example of our rights as Americans being torn away... Here is a TV news clip about this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G1fNjK9SXg
While I agree with the erosion of rights, I welcome the intrusion they would get pretty bored as most of my cellphone time is talking with idiotic cable companies who lost(misplaced) my payment.
I watched all the million dollar motor homes pouring into Maine this year, I sat on my beach watching all the two million dollar boats flying around out in the ocean, I watched the people in their little white shorts and camera's around their necks standing in line to buy their Lobsters, I sat in my yard at night and listend to the far off music as thousands of young people on vacation sat around their campfires drinking, singing and smoking pot, during the day I sat in my yard and watched "jogging addicted people" run by my house with their $500 sneakers kicking up the summer dust their tongues were hanging out, they were gasping for breath and panting, the expression on their faces resembled that of a person with a severe case of constipation, their running shorts were all bunched up in the cracks of their skinny little a$ses, they tried to smile and wave as they stumbled by, I held my Vodka up and waved back at them as their grunts and groans faded up the road, I smiled and whispered to myself "f-cking nuts". Another summer has gone, all those people are home now showing anybody that will look all the pictures they took of their fat wives, their dogs, and their crazy kids all wearing their little white hats that say "Maine" on them, some of the dogs are wearing them. I said to my wife last night, "dear" she said "what you stupid bastard" I then said "isn't it terrible all the rights we have lost since Bush has been president" she replied, "you can say that again" so I said, "isn't it terrible all the rights we have lost since Bush has been president". Don't know what's comin' tomorrow Maybe it's trouble and sorrow But we'll travel the road, sharin' our load Side by side :bricks:
Hilarious what people will believe! It was on the news it MUST BE TRUE! Guess what it ISN'T. It is not a standard cell phone. it IS a "bug" that happens to be a cell phone also. You replace their phone with the "FBI's" phone and it does not record both sides of a phone conversation because it is a "bug' (like in the movies) but it will function and record non phone conversations if the phone is turned off simply because it gets its power directly from the battery. There is more to it as we use the same ones and I have worked with the FBI with these but that is the jist. I just find it funny people over reacting and looking for the black helicopters. Oh and flashes on the WTC collapse...ect..ect.
This is silly and impossible. Remotely turn on your microphone even when your phone is off? Come on now. The only way I can see them doing this is if they are in the immediate vicinity of where you are and are actively trying to listen to you. Don't do anything wrong and they won't watch you!
Although I disagree with almost everything that you say on this post... How in the hell will there be enough manpower to listen to all of the inane conversations???? Is it linked to the Cray SuperBeast in Ft. Meade? It would have to be. Who really cares... just make sure that you talk stupid like everyone else in Amerika... than you'll have nothing to worry about
Hahaha. You disagree with everything I said? I use the stupid things in my job! Anything to keep your paranoia going right? I point out that we use what the FBI used in this operation and pointed out that they CANNOT turn on a cell phone to listen in (I would point out obviously how it is physically impossible but you wouldn't listen obviously.) I even told you what they really were but you disagree? Disagree?? Do you actually mean choose to ignore reality is that what you meant?
First off, as PatsBlue points out, these are bugs, not regular cell phones, and Secondly you can not place a "bug" on anyone without a federal judge OKing it. Now here's what you don't know, Nigerians listen to more of your cell phone conversations that anyone. Any and every cell phone conversation can easily be intercepted by very cheap and readily available electronic equiptment. The Nigerians are famous for "cloning" cell phones, grabbing the SIM numbers out of the air, and producing another phone with the same DIm number and dialing away. Anyone who thinks that anything they say over a cell phone is "private" , is kidding themsleves.

Samantha Bretton was seventeen when she got pregnant. It was the most confusing time of her life, when outside pressures helped her to see that she was too young to raise a child and too young to get married to Nick Kincaid.
When Nick took their baby girl to raise by himself, Samantha gave up her rights to be Jessica's mother. But now, thirteen years later, Sam needs to see the little girl who--wonder of wonders--is dying to meet her. And Nick--ever-patient, strong, loving Nick--still looks at her the same way. Almost as if he's been waiting for her to come home. He's a man on his own, trying to raise his children. Sometimes he gets things right.
Sometimes he needs a little help...
Rebecca Winters, an American writer and mother of four, lives in Salt Lake City, Utah. When she was 17, she went to boarding school in Lausanne, Switzerland, where she learned to speak French and met girls from all over the world. Upon returning to the U.S., Rebecca developed her love of languages when she earned her B.A. in secondary education, history, French, and Spanish from the University of Utah and did postgraduate work in Arabic.
Because of her studies overseas, Rebecca decided to become a teacher and studied French and history at her alma mater in Utah. For the past 15 years, she's taught junior-high and high-school French and history, and says she got into serious writing almost by accident.
"I went through a back door to begin my writing career," she says. "In the first place, I never liked to write anything I only wrote mandatory papers for school. If anyone had told me I would become a writer, let alone love it, I would have laughed and dismissed the notion as absolutely absurd and preposterous.
"Having said that, I did write letters to my parents while I was away at boarding school when I was 17. My mother kept them and one day, after I had become a mother for the second time, she sent me all my old letters and asked me to write my memories from them for posterity. At the time I thought she was insane, but because I adore my mother I did as she asked.
"By the time Id finished sorting through all those teenage thoughts, observations and opinions, the seeds of a story had begun to form in my mind. The seed eventually became a novel and was published in 1979. It was called The Loving Season, published under the name Rebecca Burton. Naturally, it takes place in Switzerland and France.
"As soon as I finished that novel, I found myself wanting to start another novel entitled By Love Divided, a World War II romance. A few years later, Harlequin bought a novel, Blind to Love, a story that takes place in Kenya. Its been a love affair ever since.
"I guess the moral of the story is, never underestimate a mothers intuition!"
As Rebecca has kept writing, her talents have not gone unrecognized. She has won the National Readers' Choice Award, the Romantic Times Reviewers Choice Award, and has been named Utah Writer of the Year. Right now, Rebecca is working her way toward her 50th novel for Harlequin. She welcomes visitors to her web site.

Smith rules out Nugent swoop
07 Mar 2007 - 13:13:00
Rangers manager Walter Smith has played down reports suggesting he will sign Preston's in-demand striker David Nugent in the summer.
Smith watched North End's 3-1 win against Southampton but disputes theories linking him with the former Bury hot-shot.
"There's nothing in it," he said. "People saw me at the game and put two and two together."
Everton, Portsmouth and Sheffield United have all been linked with Nugent recently.
