Hello again.
I've done everything asked of this forum.
I've searched for answers, but still can't find the answers.
I'm trying to wep crack my old Linksys b router.
I have a an atheros based card for my lap top.
I'm suing BT2 live cd.
Aircrack version 0.7 r214
I've done every thing correct from the video tutorial I got from here.
When I get to this step.
aircrack-ng -n 64 bssid xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx pumpkin-01.cap
I get this error.
aircrack-ng invalid option -- -
Everything before this step is working fine.
I've looked all over for answers in here and I can't find it.
I've had one moderator come back at me kind of flaming me saying this was cover several times already, but did not tell me where to look.
So please, can someone point me in the right direction.
Thanks so much.

http://shamanvirtuel.googlepages.com...iteupdaterv1.0 is a great tool to help you update, written by shaman.
Thanks guys.
I'm running the live cd, so I don't think I can up date that.
Anyway, I got it.
What I did was this:
aircrack-ng -a 1 -e pumpkin -b xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx pumpkin-01.cap
and bingo, it worked. Took about 20 minutes to get the key.
I found this on another tutorial and tried it.
I guess it needs that -e option (wireless name ) to work properly.
All the replies were appreciated.
Thanks again guys.
thx for the link to my soft.....nice to see it's useful for some of you....

it will have an option for create a module with the update and copy it to /usb/bt/modules
thx =)

BackTrack : Giving Machine Guns to Monkeys since 2006
if you're not gonna do a harddrive install then def. try to get yourself a usb stick, bestbuy has a 4 gig at approx. 35 bucks, as much as i dislike best buy, it is in fact one of the best buys (pardon the phun but i had too) i've seen in awhile. after you update aircrack everything seems to go much faster, it's like you get more with less. i can generally crack keys with fewer IVs in less time than with the .7 version. also if you're lazy like me and you specify airodump to write all packets from a given channel instead of just from a given AP then when you start aircrack you can simply type
"aircrack-ng (-f 2 this is optional but i prefer to use it) -n 128 capture (pumpkin-01).cap"
and that will test 128bit and 64bit keys by default as well as open up a list of captured IVs from various access points, now i won't tell you to analyze packets from access points that you don't own, but seeing this info should help you to refine your attacks to minimize the effect of collateral damage/interference. peace

'Aha Punana Leo, Hilo, HI
ʻAha Pūnana Leo was formed in 1983 to reestablish and develop the Hawaiian language. During the 1920's the Hawaiian language ceased to be spoken by children when schools began mandating that the curriculum be taught only in English. Since its formation, ʻAha Pūnana Leo has been a key force in changing legislation in the state of Hawaii, and also at the federal level, to lift the bans that formerly existed regarding the use of Hawaiian in schools.
ʻAha Pūnana Leo grew out of a discussion between a small group of language teachers and families who wanted their children to be educated in the Hawaiian language. They went to the most progressive preschool programs to find out what made them successful. A few of the families made a commitment to use only Hawaiian in the home. They decided to model their program after the Maoris of New Zealand, teaching the curriculum in Hawaiian and using no English in the classroom.
At present there are eleven preschools statewide in which the Hawaiian language is spoken, and it is the Pūnana Leo families that are the key factors in the 14 public schools into which the preschoolers matriculate. In addition, there are two model schools, Nawahiokalani'opu'u on the island of Hawaii, and Ke Kula Ni'ihau o Kekaha in Kekaha on the island of Kauai. Over the past 15 years, the number of Hawaiian-speaking children has increased from 30 to nearly 2,000.
Listen to a children's performance (duration 27:57):
Traditional Culture and Education
A movement to protect and perpetuate traditional Native culture is underway throughout the country. Lannan Foundation supports organizations that exist to revive or perpetuate traditional Native belief systems, traditional cultural practices, and traditional knowledge.
Language Preservation
You may review a few of our funded projects below.
Environmental Protection
Lannan Foundation has made it a priority to support efforts made by local Native communities to protect their lands and water from degredation and destruction. The foundation has also supported efforts by groups that implement and advocate for alternative, renewable energy systems.
Legal Rights
Lannan Foundation recognizes that the U.S. legal system can be an important means to advance the rights of indigenous peoples who are fighting to protect their traditional ways of life. The foundation supports legal efforts that benefit Native issues and causes, particularly in the area of environmental protection.
Special Projects
Lannan Foundation recognizes the need to occasionally step out of the regular grant program guidelines and invest in unique and critical projects. These special projects are developed through an invitation process, and are awarded funds outside of the regular Indigenous Communities Program grant budget.
Funding in Indigenous Communities
Because the foundation's staff and board believe that indigenous peoples have important cultural traditions that should be shared with people around the world, it is pursuing creative ways to promote the values and visions of indigenous communities and projects from which it has learned over the years. Lannan believes that supporting indigenous communities has profound implications for the future of all cultures and ecosystems.
Traditional Native American Farmers Association, Santa Fe, NM
Native farmers are deeply concerned about the erosion of community support for agriculture. TNAFA, which now includes 50 families from 18 tribes, seeks to reverse the recent decline in farming by re-invigorating agricultural traditions and increasing economic opportunities for farmers.

February 20, 2004 — The Picuris Pueblo, which received a grant from Lannan Foundation for legal expenses, announced that it has filed an aboriginal title claim in order to stop destruction of a sensitive cultural site by industrial mica mining companies.
Blackfeet Reservation Development Fund
Since 1998 Lannan Foundation has supported the plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit against the U.S. Department of the Interior, which has been found guilty of breaching trust obligations to at least 300,000 American Indian individuals. The trust was established when the U.S. Congress broke up and parceled out land owned by a number of American Indian tribes.
Sinte Gleska University, Mission, SD
This grant provides funds for the design and construction of a gymnasium that will function as a sports facility as well as a site for university ceremonies on the campus of Sinte Gleska University. A leader in tribally controlled higher education, Sinte Gleska University serves the population of the Rosebud (Sicangu Lakota) community in the southern part of South Dakota.
InterTribal Sinkyone Wilderness Council, NE Mendocino County, CA
With significant support from Lannan, the nation's first intertribal wilderness has been created on a 3,845-acre parcel of redwood forestland located along the Lost Coast north of Fort Bragg. The InterTribal Sinkyone Wilderness land is only a small portion of the original indigenous Sinkyone Indian territory.
Santa Clara Pueblo, Española, NM
In July 2000, Lannan Foundation awarded a grant to Santa Clara Pueblo in the amount of $4.5 million to allow the people to purchase more than 5,000 acres of their ancestral land, known as P'o Pii Khanu. The foundation also made grants that allowed the Pueblo to work with an attorney to help best define and assert the tribe's legal rights to the land, known as Baca Location #1.

Sept. 3, 2011
Recap | Box Score | Quotes | Photo Gallery
Today's announced attendance of 110,506 marks the 231st consecutive game of more than 100,000 fans at Michigan Stadium.
Today's game was ended at 7:10 p.m., and Michigan was declared the 34-10 winner with 1:27 remaining in the third quarter. There were two lightning delays in the third quarter -- for 30 minutes early in the quarter and 50 minutes immediately prior to the calling. It was the first shortened game due to weather in Michigan program history and the first delay since a 60-minute delay against Central Michigan on Sept. 9, 2006.
The field (turf) temperature was 137 degrees at the start of the game. It dropped to 84 degrees after the first delay.
Michigan improved its record in season openers to an impressive 109-20-3, including a 93-15-2 mark in season openers at home. The Wolverines also improved to 109-18-2 all-time in home openers.
The Wolverines improved to 6-0 in all-time series against Western Michigan. The Wolverines are 28-1 all-time against teams from the Mid-American Conference. Head coach Brady Hoke improved to 5-2 against WMU.
Michigan head coaches are 15-3-1 in their debuts with the Wolverines.
Former Wolverine Mercury Hayes (1992-95) was honored in the first quarter as part of U-M's weekly "Legends of the Game" recognition.
Four Michigan players earned their first collegiate start: junior/sophomore left guard Michael Schofield, fifth-year senior defensive end Will Heininger, sophomore/freshman linebacker Jake Ryan and freshman kicker Matt Wile.
Seven Wolverines made their collegiate debut today. In addition to Ryan and Wile, freshman Brennan Beyer, sophomore/freshman Josh Furman, freshman Blake Countess, freshman Gregg Brown and freshman Frank Clark also saw playing time against Western Michigan.
Thirteen players extended their consecutive start streaks: Ryan Van Bergen (26 games), Craig Roh (26), Jordan Kovacs (22), Roy Roundtree (18), Patrick Omameh (17), David Molk (14), Denard Robinson (14), Troy Woolfolk (13), Kenny Demens (8), Courtney Avery (6), Mike Martin (4), Taylor Lewan (3), Junior Hemingway (2).
Junior quarterback Denard Robinson completed 9-of-13 passes for 98 yards and rushed for 46 yards on eight carries. It was his lowest rushing yardage since registering 31 against Ohio State on Nov. 21, 2009.
With his 46 rushing yards, Robinson moved to the sixth spot among the Big Ten Conference's career leaders in rushing yards by a quarterback, surpassing Ohio State's Cornelius Greene (2,080 yards, 1972-75). Robinson needs 51 yards to reach the fifth spot, currently held by Minnesota Rickey Foggie (2,150, 1984-87).
Junior/sophomore running back Fitzgerald Toussaint boasted a career-high 80 rushing yards on 11 carries and two touchdowns -- his first collegiate multi-touchdown performance. He scored Michigan's first touchdown of 2011 on a one-yard rush early in the second quarter and added another on a two-yard run late in the second. He entered the season with one career touchdown -- a five-yard run against Bowling Green last season (Sept. 25, 2010).
Fifth-year senior linebacker Brandon Herron became the first Michigan player in the modern era to record two defensive touchdowns in a single game -- on a 94-yard interception return in the second quarter and a 29-yard fumble recovery in the third. They were the first and second touchdowns of Herron's career, while the interception was the first and the fumble recovery was the second of his career.
Herron is the first Michigan player with two TD returns in game since Tom Harmon (KO return and Punt return) in 1940 against Cal.
Michigan previously scored two defensive touchdowns in a game four times:
|Sept. 16, 2006
|Notre Dame
|LaMarr Woodley (fumble recovery)
|Prescott Burgess (interception)
|Jan. 1, 1999
|Ian Gold (interception)
|James Whitley (interception)
|Sept. 19, 1998
|Eastern Michigan
|William Peterson (interception)
|Anthony Jordan (interception)
|Oct. 18, 1975
|Dave Devich (interception)
|Tom Seabron (interception)
Herron's 94-yard touchdown was the longest interception return for a touchdown in Michigan program history. The previous record was 92 yards, held by Ken Tureaud (vs. UCLA, Sept. 30, 1961) and Thom Darden (vs. UCLA, Sept. 25, 1971). It was also Michigan's first interception for a touchdown in two seasons, dating back to Donovan Warren's 40-yard return at Iowa (Oct. 10, 2009).
Herron's 29-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown was Michigan's first since Cam Gordon returned a fumble 58 yards for a touchdown against Purdue last season (Nov. 13, 2010).
Herron also boasted a career-high eight career-high tackles.
Senior/junior safety Jordan Kovacs led the Wolverines with 10 tackles. In a productive third quarter, Kovacs registered two sacks -- for a loss of 16 yards -- a forced fumble and a pass breakup. Kovacs entered the season with one career sack, three forced fumbles and two pass breakups.
Senior running back Michael Shaw rushed for a 44-yard touchdown in third quarter -- the longest touchdown run of his career. He owns 12 career touchdowns. His previous long touchdown run was 34 yards, which he recorded last season against Massachusetts (Sept. 18, 2010).

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The season is well underway, and things are heating up. The Bruins have been back and forth, mostly back. Several teams that nobody expected to do well are doing just that. And to top it all off, all five teams in the Atlantic Division are in line for playoff spots, though only one Atlantic Division first round match-up is on the horizon. And the Red Wings are coming on strong after a disappointing start, as the Bruins recently found out the hard way. At least the Bruins are still only two points away from a spot. So, with so much action to consider, let's look at what would happen if the playoffs started as of Tuesday, Nov. 3 at 11 p.m. (sans the late games):
Calgary has lost two in a row, and is tied in points with Columbus, Detroit, and Edmonton. They'll have to shape up to hold onto their spot. Meanwhile, the Avs have also lost two in a row, and are now just one point ahead of the Sharks. With both the Avalanche and Flames looking to grab hold of a ledge to halt their fall, a fast paced series would be in order. However, the Avalanche have the edge with home rink advantage and a perfect record so far at home.
The Sharks are hot, having won a current NHL best five in a row. Vancouver won their last game before hosting the Rangers late. With a 6-2-0 home record and a 2-5-0 road record, the 2009 Canucks are starting to look like the 2009 Boston Red Sox. And unfortunately for Vancouver, we all know how that turned out. Either they slip up and get swept, or their home/road records result in a seven game Sharks victory.
The Stars so far have shined on the road, while the Blackhawks have done well at home. The Stars are .500 at home while the Blackhawks are .500 on the road. Both teams have 17 points, but the Blackhawks have done it in one less game with two more wins, meaning the Stars have four more overtime losses. That "close games under pressure" stat could be instrumental for the Blackhawks to move on.
Here we have two teams that hardly anyone knew existed last year, and they're both in the middle of the bracket this year. Both teams have been eerily similar in stats this year, though the Kings have both scored and given up more goals. This one is truly anyone's match. Though with the NHL recently being approved to purchase the Coyotes, there might be a vested interest in seeing the Coyotes do well for when the NHL resells them. Not that it'll happen like that, but maybe John McCain and his state can finally win something.
Pittsburgh is a perfect 6-0-0 on the road, giving the Senators hope for winning four games in Steel City. Though still, 5-3-0 at home is still good enough for the Penguins. Pittsburgh is a bigger lock at the moment, especially considering the Senators are tied in points with the Canadiens and Lightning, the latter of which is the only one of the three teams to currently be on a winning streak, even though that streak is only one game, and even though it was against Toronto, and even though it had to come in overtime.
Okay the Capitals are #2; that was easy enough to see coming. Wait a minute, the Islanders? The worse team from last year is challenging for a spot? By record, the Islanders are 17th out of 30 teams. And they're currently riding a four game winning streak; not too shabby. Both teams have shown a large capacity for losing close overtime games (four for the Capitals and five for the Islanders), though the Capitals have eight wins to the Islanders' five. The saving grace for the Islanders is that the Capitals have lost two straight, both games in overtime and the first to the Islanders. It would be fun to see if the Islanders could pull off the major upset.
The Sabres have gained ground in their division, while the Flyers have slipped in theirs. Despite a two game winning streak, they're still one point away from falling into last place in the Atlantic Division. Both teams are doing quite well for themselves overall so far, so expect this to be a close series.
The Rangers and Devils have both looked very impressive in the early going. The Devils are three points from overtaking the Rangers and gaining home rink advantage in the first round, while the Rangers are four points from overtaking the Penguins for the division and top seed. Both teams clearly have a vested interest in this match, which could very well make it the most contested series.

Originally written on Awful Announcing | Last updated 8/13/14
Once tabbed as the heir apparent to Erin Andrews, Jenn Brown has left ESPN as reported by Sports Illustrated. The reasons for her departure are still unclear, but ESPN confirmed Brown is no longer working for Bristol. Brown joined ESPN in February 2010, and when Andrews left the mothership last summer, it seemed like Brown would be taking over her role as ESPN's most visible sideline reporter. But then that gig went to Samantha Ponder, who took over Thursday night sideline reporting duties on ESPN as well as Andrews' old spot on the College Gameday set. Brown was paired with Dave Pasch and Bob Griese, generally calling the early game on ESPN. Brown's future is currently unknown. Will she be joining another network in either a sideline or studio role? Is she jumping ship on the sports world altogether? Her departure from the company seems like it has come out of nowhere, but it could have been in the works for a while. Brown seemed to slowly fade from the spotlight in recent months and with the nice jobs ESPNers have picked up elsewhere (Michelle Beadle at NBC, Erin Andrews at Fox, Rachel Nichols at CNN), perhaps the grass was greener elsewhere. [Sports Illustrated]

text: The Lord of the Sword wiki last edited by Jeff on 05/09/13 03:22PM View full history The StoryIn Lord of the Sword, the old king of Baljinya has been toppled from the throne by the followers of the evil Ra Goan. The player controls the adventurer Landau, wants to become the new king of Baljinya. To do so, he has to prove his worthiness to the counsel of elders who have set up three tests for those who want to become king. Landau has to find the Tree of Merill, Defeat the Goblin of Balala Valley and destroy the Statue of Evil.GameplayThe gameplay can be compared to the dungeons in the second Zelda game on the NES. Landau has three basic abilities he can use: he can strike with his sword, fire his bow and jump. The game progresses through a variety of 2D environments in which the player encounters different enemies. Landau does not get any experience or money from them, although certain bosses will reward better (or in some cases even worse) weapons.The environments consist of Islands, Forests, Caves, Mountains, Rivers, Swamps and Underground. From time to time there are also towns in which Landau can talk to people to gain information, objects, and health. Certain information is always necessary to progress further in the game. Without it, is it not possible to reach new areas or fight bosses.The enemies on each screen always reappear when the player leaves and re-enters the area for a second time. There is no real penalty for dying in the game though, as the game will always resume at the beginning of the last screen the player reached.

The other nice advantage is that don't have to reinstall windows, and can just plunk it into an existing desktop to speed it up.

Not knowing what to do when an accident occurs is perfectly normal. Few people live their lives in readiness of disaster, but planning for the worst should not be regarded as a form of compulsive behaviour or paranoia. Contingency measures often prove invaluable in times of emergency, so at least some thought should be given to accidents.
Most accidents occur at home, in the workplace or on the road. An accident can cause injury, illness or emotional distress. People who suffer injuries often display symptoms of shock, while those who are in the process of recovering may experience depression, anxiety or some other psychological condition.
The important point to remember when an accident has occurred is that panic helps nobody. Though sometimes difficult in practice, accident victims ought to calmly identify what injuries might have been caused. They should also seek professional medical help without delay. This is not to suggest, however, that the accident victim should do nothing else at the scene of the accident; on the contrary, he can obtain various details to support a subsequent insurance or compensation claim. Such details may include contact information for other parties involved, the time, date and location of the incident, whether anybody witnessed the accident and the circumstances that caused the injury.
After medical care has been sought, the accident victim ought to carefully weigh his options and consider hiring a personal injury lawyer. Litigation might be a possibility if negligence can be established. To establish negligence, the claimant's legal representatives must be able to prove that the defendant owed their client a duty of care at the time of the accident. The law also requires that the duty was breached by the defendant and that the breach caused the injury or illness in question.
Contacting a no-win, no-fee solicitor for a free consultation is advisable at this stage because the accident victim may not be confident that he has sufficient grounds to make a claim for compensation. Proceeding with litigation without the help of no-win, no-fee lawyers, whose fees are covered by insurance, can be extremely expensive and complex. A good no-win, no-fee lawyer will provide guidance on whether a claim is worth pursuing before offering to represent the injured person.
Finally, the accident victim ought not to wait too long before initiating proceedings against the defendant. In England and Wales, personal injury claims must be made within three years from the date on which the cause of action occurred unless the injured person was aged under eighteen at the time of the accident or only became aware of his injuries at a later date.

More than most of my colleagues on The Times' editorial board, I sympathize with the Republicans in Congress who complain about President Obama's expansive use of executive power. I don't always agree, but I see why they complain when the administration ignores a statutory deadline (as it has done with the employer mandate in Obamacare) or creates new legal obligations out of thin air (as it did in granting waivers to the No Child Left Behind mandates).
So it was inevitable, perhaps, that House Republicans would apply their zeal for creating super-special investigatory oversight panels to this particular issue. And so the House Judiciary Committee did,


text: It's more than a Biblical edictEditor:I wish to answer a letter to the editor published on July 14 titled, "Don't support religious dictatorship."In this letter the writer seemed to imply that the opposition to legalizing gay marriages is entirely based on Biblical or Christian principles. Of course there is Biblical basis because Genesis tells us that the Creator made man and woman and told them to fill the earth (with offspring).More than just being some obscure Biblical edict, union between a man and a woman is very natural because we fit together. History and anthropology show us that marriage of one man and one woman has been practiced for thousands of years by peoples all over the world who knew nothing about the Judeo-Christian religion. For example, the American Indians of all tribes nearly universally accepted marriage between a man and a woman as important and natural.Furthermore, homosexuality must be unnatural because no higher animals, except humans, indulge in it. In other words, union of male and female, mating, was natural because all species have had an innate urge to reproduce their kind, long before the advent of Judeo-Christianity or the U.S. Constitution.Citing the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution that "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," cannot logically be used to justify gay marriage. These words mean that Congress cannot create an official church. The Pilgrims and other founders came to America to escape the dictatorial government churches of Europe.It is unfortunate that the majority must pass an amendment to protect a basic and established human doctrine because a small minority wants legal recognition for an unnatural choice of same-sex association. A federal amendment is necessary, and not out of hatred, but because this minority and their supporting judges refuse to obey laws already passed by the majority. Dictatorship happens when one person or a tiny minority impose their will on the majority.Stan WatsonWoosterGood news makes for good readingEditor:I have subscribed to your newspaper for a number of years and just wanted you to know how much I enjoy your paper.How great it is to find a newspaper that so often has good news as the main story on the front page.

Today was one of those days that makes me glad to be a priest. After morning Mass, I prepared a class for the Religious Studies Ad-Level group at our Sixth Form College, St Luke's. They are taking their exam on 14 June so we were revising a couple of topics and looking at how to write the best exam answer. These were students just about to leave College so 17-18, I guess. They are great people and I pray that they will all get A grades in their exam.
Then over to Our Lady of the Rosary School for Mass with Year 4 - these children are 8-9 years old. A while back, I got fed up with the themes from All That I Am (Building Bridges, Special Places etc.) and undertook to produce Mass texts myself. So today, being not too far from the feast day, we had a Votive Mass of the English Martyrs. Lots of parents turned up for the Mass so I hope they also got a sense of our great Catholic history in England.
A short stop at home where I could do some work at the desk, then back to the same school for a a Curriculum Committee meeting - looking at how the school is juggling Government demands with the exigencies of real life.
After that, the rehearsal for the first Communion Mass. I have baptised many of the children and it is lovely to see them growing up and learning to take part in the Mass. We prayed for fine weather on Saturday and I encouraged them to think most of all of the wonderful gift of receiving Jesus in Holy Communion for the first time. These occasions are good for all of us - they help us to focus once again on the loving condescension of the Father in sending his Son to us.

Have very mixed feelings at this point.
If the charges against Herman Cain are true, I would be very troubled and disappointed.
This interview on CNN would lend support to at least one of the accusers.
When charges were leveled against then candidate Bill Clinton and eventually President Bill Clinton, I was troubled and disappointed by his possible behavior.
These kind of charges sometime sank candidates (Gary Hart and John Edwards in recent election cycles).
But, historically, many of our Presidents have not been paragons of virtue in their personal lives and yet, many of them were effective Presidents.
Thus, there is the problem: the charges, even if all true, against Herman Cain are probably no worse than some of the things done by past Presidents.
What should we expect from our political leaders?
Do we want a brilliant brain surgeon who is a jerk removing brain tumors from people or a genial mediocre one?
JFK is regarded highly by many in both parties. Yet, would JFK have been elected in today's news environment?
In Europe, their political leaders often have complicated personal situations and they are rather open about it and their voters don't seem to care. As such, Europeans view American pre-occupation with scandals of a personal nature as a reflection of American "puritanical" attitudes.
So what should we expect from our political leaders?
I want more from our leaders but realistically understand that people are flawed especially those with the ambition to rise to such levels. Think of your circle of friends: do any of them want to be President? People who run and make it to this level are in many ways automatically not "normal" in some ways!
In an ideal world, I want a candidate for President to have policies that are good for the nation, inspirational leadership qualities, demonstrated some experience in running a governmental entity (running a business isn't like running a government) and personal virtue.
The question for voters like me is what degree of failure in personal virtue (we all have weaknesses) is disqualifying.
Disclaimer: I didn't vote for Clinton in 1992 or 1996 for various reasons. In examining the field of GOP candidates for 2012, as appealing as the idea is of an outsider business person running for President, I believe some familiarity with governance is helpful, hence my doubts about Cain prior to the current scandals. The current scandal has added to my doubts.
UPDATE: Goldberg at NR put it this way. Excerpt: My own view is that Cain has other shortcomings that are more
substantive disqualifiers for the job of president, but if these charges
are true then they are relevant and troubling in their own right.
UPDATE: CNN.com has this item that describes how companies often settle to make the problem go away. Excerpt: Employment lawyers are accustomed to meeting with CEO clients who are
initially defiant and determined to resist a false claim of sexual
harassment. They want their reputations and integrity preserved. But
when a high-ranking executive is involved, the company rumor vine begins
to grow. Depositions are taken. Employees are pulled out of the
workplace to back one side or the other. Sterling reputations begin to
bleed under the slash of a thousand paper cuts.
And of course, the litigation process is expensive for the company.
Knowing this, experienced lawyers often urge even the innocent accused
executive to agree to mediate claims informally and avoid the
possibility of a very public and very embarrassing federal lawsuit.
Legitimate victims are also urged to settle rather than risk losing at
Once mediation begins, the parties are told that public humiliation
and legal costs can be avoided with a quiet, confidential settlement.
Both plaintiff and defendant are simultaneously silenced by the
agreement's penalty provisions. The truth of the claims will never be
tested in any public forum.

In-Room Innovations
By Christina Volpe, Associate Editor | September 08, 2009
For a long time, hotels have struggled to keep up with the technologies that many of their guests use on a daily basis at home. It is not uncommon today for the average home to include a flat panel television (or two) with high-definition programming, on-demand content, high speed Internet access and more. "It is about keeping up with the guest experience," says Steve Dettman, IT director for the midwestern hotel management company, The Raymond Group (www.raymondteam.com). "As a whole our guests are becoming more tech savvy. We used to get amenity creeps from other hotels. Now it is coming from the home. People have things like HDTV at home and cannot understand why they cannot have it at the hotel."
Fortunately for hoteliers, this competition with at-home technology is finally beginning
to even itself out as guest room innovations become more and more advanced. In many cases, the solutions that hoteliers are embracing are really putting the 'wow' factor back into their guests' stays.
Guest room automation
When it opens late this year, the much anticipated Las Vegas metropolis CityCenter (
) (a joint project between MGM Mirage and Infinity World Development Corp.) will boast some of the most technologically-advanced guest rooms in the United States. Of the many solutions that will be in place at CityCenter's ARIA Resort and Casino and Mandarin Oriental hotel, there is one in particular that will redefine the in-room experience: full guest room automation via Control4 (
"About three years ago we started to realize that CityCenter was going to be a bold endeavor in Las Vegas," says Scot Campbell, chief information officer, MGM Mirage. "All of those things were coming together to be new and different and we wanted to look for a new and different technology. We landed on Control4 because it is subtle and it has a really cool wow-factor."
Control4 is a provider of IP-based home automation controls, and when coupled with CityCenter's ability to network every guestroom device via one gigabit of bandwidth, it will make all of the technologies in ARIA and Mandarin Oriental guest rooms really sing. This complete platform will allow guests to control their room's lighting, temperature, TV, music, drapes and concierge services through a single device.
"The basics of home automation in a high-end house are enabled in every guest room," says Campbell. CityCenter guests can even select from a number of guest room "scenes" to match their moods or preferences. "Since all of the technology is talking together, I can execute a scene called 'watch TV.' The lights will dim 30 percent to accentuate the TV in the room."
Next-gen entertainment platforms
Image having a platform that serves as an unlimited entertainment portal, linking guests to high-def content, movies, music, business tools, the Internet, hotel services and more instantaneously. For the Kessler Collection (
), a group of 11 luxury hotels and resorts across the United States, this scenario is a reality. Two of its properties, the Grand Bohemian Hotel in Asheville, N.C. and the Bohemian Hotel Savannah Riverfront, are utilizing an in-room entertainment platform from Roomlinx (
) on their LG flat panel TVs to give guests complete control over a variety of entertainment and business options. Guests can read newspapers from all over the world; build customizable music platforms; work on programs such as Excel, PowerPoint and Word on their TV; watch their favorite shows whenever they want to with pause capability; print airline boarding passes; look at the menu for local restaurants and view a map of how to get there; play games; watch concerts; view first-run HD Hollywood movies on demand; check the weather, and much more. All of these services are accessed through the television with a handheld remote control that features a built-in mouse for navigating the screen, as well as a wireless keyboard that provides full Web-access. Additionally, a media box allows guests to play DVDs and has MP3 connectivity and a USB port.
"Our guests love the system and their comments have been along the lines of: 'I want this at home,' 'one of the best parts of our stay,' and 'everyone in the family was fighting for their turn on the system,'" says Scott Schreiber, president of Kessler Collection. "The tremendous resolution of working on the Web through a 37" HDTV is very popular with our guests and they love the on-demand movies, concerts and TV shows." The Kessler Collection plans to convert all eleven properties to Roomlinx as their current system contracts expire.
In addition to the 'wow' factor, Schreiber also notes that the Roomlinx media system has tremendous potential for future revenue opportunities by selling advertising on the pop-up window and banner ads in the system. "Roomlinx provides revenue through the advertising opportunities, provides a lift in rate due to the value it brings to our offering, and as a differentiator, it helps to get us selected over our competitors. Our sales teams use Roomlinx in their presentations and push the features to meeting planners."
Like the Kessler Collection, Canyon Ranch (
) is also striving to offer its guests the latest in in-room media delivery. Its newly opened hotel and wellness spa, Canyon Ranch Miami Beach, recently completed the installation of Extenway Solutions' (
) guest media platform.
"Canyon Ranch Miami Beach is rather a unique property with very specific needs," says Michael Bote, information technology director for Canyon Ranch Miami Beach. "The decision to install Extenway's media solution was made based on our need to have a modern delivery platform that will enable us to offer a variety of services to our distinguished guests in an aesthetically pleasing fashion, but also practical and customizable."
All 150 suites have been furnished with 42" Sony (
) LCD HDTVs, each of which has a set top box attached to it, controlling the free to-guest TV channels and the various media inputs. The system offers Internet services, WiFi activation, HSIA on the TV browser and full Windows access including remote printing. Furthermore, the system is fully integrated with Canyon Ranch Miami Beach's property management system, which allows hotel management to turn on guest room TVs upon check-in, and then display guests' names on the TVs' home screen along with other options.
"Since we are a company focusing on wellness and healthy lifestyles, we are showcasing all of our services on different pages with descriptions, schedules and pictures. By simply using the joy-stick remote or wireless keyboard, a guest can quickly find something of interest, send a quick e-postcard home, browse the Internet or simply watch a TV channel," says Bote.
Better bandwidth
Guest demands for more bandwidth access, fueled by changing trends in Internet use, are driving hoteliers to search for additional ways to beef up their bandwidth offerings. The Raymond Group operates 18 Hilton-branded hotels in the Mid-West, and is doing just that through their selection of FatPipe (
). Currently three locations are using their networking solution.
One of the key benefits of this solution is its ability to automatically reroute traffic to available lines when a router or IPS goes down, as well as load balancing options for inbound and outbound IP traffic. "I think that load balancing technology is going to be a huge push going forward," says Dettman.
For any singular user at the three Raymond Group properties utilizing FatPipe, they have up to two megabits of bandwidth at their disposal. There is additional intelligence built within the device that allows someone to have as much bandwidth as they want if it isn't being utilized by other guests. As new guests come onto the network, bandwidth usage levels drop off to the two Mb cap.
"With FatPipe we can offer guests a lot more bandwidth," says Dettman. "Typical guests have fast connections at home and even if we have multiple T1s it isn't what they see at home. We are able to get tremendous amounts of bandwidth."
Innovation in the economy segment
Although in-room innovations are typically associated with higher end luxury brands, that isn't keeping innovation out of the economy segment. Last year Accor North America
) revealed plans to revamp its Motel 6 (
) locations with the launch of the Phoenix prototype. To date more than 50 locations have been renovated; the entire network is being renovated with this design on a rolling basis, with expected completion to occur within the next three to five years.
"We have a fine line to walk at Motel 6 between providing guests with what they need and keeping our promise to provide them the lowest price of any national chain," says Jeff Palmer, EVP, sales & marketing, Accor North America. "So our innovation comes from both what we choose to put in our rooms and how we can manage to do it in a way that is cost-effective and won't have a detrimental impact on the customers' pockets."
As part of this prototype, management decided to install Teledex WiFi services (
) at Phoenix properties as well as 32" Philips plasma flat screen TVs (
); iConnects by Southern Audio Services media panels with A/V plug-ins for MP3 players; video game consoles and laptop computers, and more.
"This feature [WiFi] that was only several years ago considered a luxury, is now very much a necessity for many travelers, along with connectivity options for MP3s, etc. We installed WiFi nationwide and charge a 24-hour rate of $2.99. This way, the price of our rooms is not impacted by this feature, but the service is available for those who want it," says Palmer. "Flat-screen TVs are another example. With a network as large as ours, almost any network-wide initiative will realistically be a relatively long undertaking; but the size of our network and buying power also allows us to get great deals on these features, which allows us to keep our lowest price promise. This kind of marriage of innovations, between product and cost-efficiency, is critical for the success of our business if we want to remain relevant in the market while being true to our brand identity."

Brake lights staying on!!
Have a e46 318
Mileage is around 30k
Having a problem where the brake lights come on and dash lights stay on when key is removed.
When car is started there are no problems.
Also remote fob is not working.
I have to disconnect battery to stop it draining from the brake lights staying on.
I am trying to use Inpa to diagnose it but am having trouble with that,
Is this a known issue? Anything i can do to try and fix it?
Brake light switch.
Edit: Sorry, sounds like an ignition switch if stuff stays on with the key removed.
After a bit of research found it could be n/s/r abs sensor or speedometer sensor.
Anyone have any thoughts on that?
My brake lights were staying lit so I changed the brake switch and then the grounds in the holders. It ended up being the ground in the more solid connection of the two.
Also the temperature gauge goes to max,
Even though car is off
The ground for the brake switch?
Is there a diy on how to access the switch?
The brake switch is mounted on the brake pedal assembly. My problem was the ground in the tail light bulb carrier in the trunk which caused all kinds of other strange things, like the radio going out and the steering wheel controls not working.
After disconnecting the battery overnight, the problem seems to have gone.
So hopefully all it needed was a reset.

5 Cheap Stocks for an Auto Industry Renaissance - views
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- In the first part of this series, I looked at an emerging perfect backdrop for shares of auto makers and their parts suppliers. Industry conditions are improving, shares are quite inexpensive, and rising cash flow set the stage for strong dividends and buybacks.
In that first column, we looked at Ford Motor (F) as a good company with an unloved stock. Shares of Ford have fallen more than 35% since early 2011 on concerns that near-tem profit growth will be elusive.
It's true. Ford earned around $1.50 a share in 2011 and will likely do the same in 2012. And analysts see profits rising only 15% in 2013 to around $1.70 to $1.75 a share, in large part because the troubles in Europe may create a profit drag.
>>5 Breakout Trades You Need to See
Yet the stars are aligning for a profit bulge when the current headwinds abate, and Ford may be poised to earn $2.50 a share by the middle of the decade. The current $12 share price seemingly ignores that possibility. More to the point, even at current profit levels before the profit surge begins, Ford is generating stunning amounts of cash, fattening up its balance sheet and setting the stage for a new and rising dividend along with share buybacks.
But it's not just Ford that has reason to exhale these days. So many other auto makers and their parts suppliers are also getting healthier by the day, even if their flagging share prices say otherwise. How unloved in this group? Consider that GM (GM) has $19 billion in net cash -- accounting for fully half of its market value. The company is so flush that it's unlikely to ever again see the financial implosion that took place in 2008 and 2009. Yet investors figure this $155 billion (in 2012 sales) business deserves an enterprise value of just $19 billion.
The fact that GM and Ford trade for 5.5 times, and 7 times projected 2013 profits, respectively, tells you how cheap they are.
The auto parts suppliers also offer up compelling values. Here are three of them.
TRW (TRW) is the rare auto parts supplier that managed to keep making money even when the industry tanked a few years ago. Credit goes to a management team that has focused on cutting-edge products that will always be in demand. Many know that TRW virtually pioneered the airbag industry, cementing its lead into other safety technologies such as collision avoidance systems.
What they may not know is that TRW is also a leading supplier of fuel injection systems. A key reason why so many cars now get more than 30 miles per gallon on the highway is due to extremely precise delivery of fuel into cylinders. TRW is continually advancing these systems to deliver more power with less fuel, which is why industry analysts think we'll see a lot of cars getting 50 miles per gallon on the highway in a few years.
As is the case with many industry stocks, TRW posted a hefty rebound after plunging in early 2009. Shares hit almost $60 in the summer of 2011, but are now back down below $45. Shares are quite inexpensive trading at less than seven times projected 2013 profits of $6.50 a share.
If auto industry volumes keep rising into 2015, as discussed in this first part of the series, TRW may be looking at EPS approaching $10.
TRW is one of the top holdings of Highbridge Capital Management, which owned nearly 3 million shares of the stock as of the most recently reported quarter. I also featured it last month in "4 Undervalued Stocks in Clint Eastwood's Favorite Sector."
American Axle
Some investors in auto stocks aim to focus on two variables right now: They want to avoid exposure to Europe, and they want to capitalize on an expected upturn in demand for light trucks here in the U.S. as homebuilding construction finally starts to rebuild after multi-decade lows. Construction workers have been mostly patching up their old trucks to conserve cash, and this upgrade cycle may be huge.
American Axle (AXL) not only has minimal exposure to the troubles in Europe, but it's a key supplier for GM and Chrysler in their large pick-up truck programs. Along with Ford's F-Series pickups, GM and Chrysler's trucks remain among the top-selling vehicles in North America.
Analysts expect American Axle's sales to rise almost 10% this year to around $2.8 billion, and on the heels of a newly-launched GM truck in 2013, anticipate sales rising nearly 15% in 2013 to around $3.2 billion. Meanwhile, shares trade for less than five times projected 2013 profits.
American Axle shows up on a list of Stocks in Bottoming Sectors Primed for a 2012 Bounce.
Magna International
Magna International (MGA) is something of a hybrid between an auto parts supplier and a full-fledged auto maker. At some of its facilities, it can actually produce entire cars for other manufacturers when they need extra capacity. And whereas most other parts suppliers simply design products to meet the specifications of their big customers, Magna develops many of its own products and systems from scratch, which helps yield sustainably robust profit margins. The company is a leading supplier of transmissions, fuel delivery systems, and many other engine components.
Yet Magna has not always pleased investors. Some have suggested that the company is spread too thin, trying to operate in too many niches to help it reach its target of $30 billion in annual sales (which analysts expect to happen in 2013). Management has gotten the message, and aims to shed underperforming divisions in order to boost margins even more. Another near-term concern: the company's exposure to beleaguered European auto makers means sales are expected to be flat in 2012.
But over the next few years, as Magna exits the lowest-margin businesses, Europe gets incrementally healthier, and the company completes a current share buyback program, EPS could rise from an expected $5.25 in 2013 to roughly $7 by the middle of the decade. Shares have rallied from $35 to $45 in early 2012, thanks to a blowout quarter, but a growing North American auto industry and a stabilizing European auto industry over the next few years should help this stock surge past the recent 52-week high of $55.
Magna shows up ona list of 6 Stocks Driving the Economy in 2012.
Many other industry bargains can be found, and the rising tide in this industry should lift most boats. Investor sentiment towards these stocks has ebbed, but the long-term outlook remains brighter than ever.

text: just got the kanger pro tanks... mmmmm-nice!!!! they do have an airy draw, much like the EVOD, but the taste is better because of the glass. The heads are pretty much the same as well. These pro tanks are super easy to recoil yourself. These just my be a vivi nova killer for me!!!! I'll see how they hold up as far as leaks from where the glass is attached to the bottom base.. the inside of the bottom base is the one thing i think they could of done a bit better. there is a rim around the plate where the coil screws thus not leaving a lot of room for juice to flow into bottom of coil, also meaning you have to have pretty short wicks-no biggie- if you get a dryish hit, just give the unit a quick tilt!!- i havnt had a dry hit yet!!! - so far im happy azz with these and recommend them to anyone to add to thier collection!!!!!

Peugeot's first production hybrid is finally coming to market next spring, but most of the technical details are out now. The 3008 Hybrid4 is the first light-duty diesel hybrid to come to market – it is also the first through-the-road (TtR) hybrid.
The mid-size crossover uses a system that consists of a fairly conventional 163-horsepower 2.0-liter inline-four diesel engine driving the front wheels and a 37-horsepower electric motor at the rear axle, which operates completely independent of the internal combustion drivetrain – hence, "through-the-road hybrid."
The diesel drives through an electronically controlled and mechanized six-speed manual gearbox that can either be shifted manually or left in full automatic mode. A more powerful 8 kilowatt high-voltage integrated starter-generator on the engine provides automatic start-stop capability as well as the ability to charge the nickel-metal hydride battery from the engine.
When the battery has sufficient charge, the electric motor alone can propel the 3008 at lower speeds or provide on-demand all-wheel-drive. The rear-mounted motor also provides regenerative braking to charge the battery. The combined output of the two powerplants? 200 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque.
This mechanically simpler TtR hybrid drive allows Peugeot to produce a less expensive diesel hybrid than would be possible with a power-split system like the one used by Toyota, all while taking advantage of the highway cruising efficiency of compression ignition. The 3008 Hybrid4 is rated at 61.9 miles per gallon (U.S.) on the EU combined driving cycle with CO2 emissions of just 99 grams per kilometer. Eventually, Peugeot will also add a plug-in version of the Hybrid4 with a lithium-ion battery. Click past the jump for the full skinny after looking over our high-res gallery below.

Valmont Response: We are sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with this bra. After a few washings the bra should soften and be less itchy.
4fab4 from Pennsylvania
Valmont Response: If you should still like to try this bra, we suggest a larger size since this is a front close bra with no adjustment for band size.
Pat from Lake Mary, FL, USA
Valmont Response: Washing it once or twice should soften the hand.

- 6. Cyropaedia* by XENOPHON1 enophon, like Plato, was a student of Socrates. There are so many great lessons in here and I wish more people would read it. Machiavelli learned them, as this book inspired The Prince. Buy the book on Amazon X { RYAN HOLIDAY } *(a more accessible translation can be found in Xenophon's Cyrus The Great: The Arts of Leadership and War)
- 7. The Moral Sayings of Publius Syrus: A Roman Slave by PUBLIUS SYRUS 2 { RYAN HOLIDAY } he best philosophy comes from people who were not "philosophers." Syrus was a slave and his moral maxims are far better than perhaps the most famous book in this category, those of Duc de la Rochefoucauld. Buy the book on Amazon T
- 8. Meditations by MARCUS AURELIUS (Gregory Hays translation, do not read the others, they suck) 3 { RYAN HOLIDAY } t some point around 170 AD, the single most powerful man in the world sat down and wrote a private book of lessons and admonishments to himself for becoming a better, kinder and humbler person. And this text survives and you have access to it today. Buy the book on Amazon A
- 9. The Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects by GIORGIO VASARI 4 { RYAN HOLIDAY } asically a friend and peer of Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Raphael Titian and all the other great minds of the Renaissance sat down in 1550 and wrote biographical sketches of the people he knew or had influenced him. There are so many great lessons about craft and psychology within this book. The best part? It was written by someone who actually knew what he was talking about, not some art snob or critic, but an actual artist and architect of equal stature to the people he was documenting. Buy the book on Amazon B
- 10. The Man Without A Country by EDWARD E. HALE5 { RYAN HOLIDAY } atriotism is not a concept that gets a lot of love today. But this essay/book makes you think a little. Released in 1863 during the height of the Civil War, the plot's simple: an innocent man caught up in Aaron Burr's treasonous conspiracy stands trial for his actions. For those with some understanding of historical, you'll enjoy the meta-fiction of it, for those that haven't it is still a very good look into early America. Buy the book on Amazon P
- 11. Twelve Years a Slave by SOLOMON NORTHUP6 { RYAN HOLIDAY } f there is one book you read about slavery in America, read this one. It's the real story of a born freedman in the North who, as a traveling musician, was brought out of his home state on false pretenses in order to be captured, kidnapped, and transported South to be sold as a slave. This book is just as good as Frederick Douglass' memoir and I think illustrates the horrors of slavery in a much more undeniable way. Buy the book on Amazon I
- 12. Civil War Stories by AMBROSE BIERCE7 { RYAN HOLIDAY } ark Twain, for all his bitterness and sarcasm, was just more fun for average people to read than Ambrose Bierce. But Bierce is the one who truly captured the Civil War–a terrible and awful conflict in which death and destruction and stupidity were far more prevalent than strategy or heroism. Too many books about the Civil War are inaccessible, with their flanking movements and war vocabulary. This book is all people. Must read. Buy the book on Amazon M
- 13. Forty Years a Gambler on the Mississippi by GEORGE DEVOL 8 { RYAN HOLIDAY } he memoir of a professional gambler, fighter and criminal who rode the riverboats of the Mississippi and Red Rivers. It's a true and vibrant snapshot of a period of American life that you can't get anywhere else. Gun fights, brawls, cons–it's all here. Fascinating, peculiar and very easy to read. Buy the book on Amazon T
- 14. Hunger by KNUT HAMSUN9 { RYAN HOLIDAY } dark and moving first-person narrative, about the conflicting drives for self-preservation and self-immolation inside all of us. Hunger is about a writer who is starving himself. He cannot write because he is starving and cannot eat because writing is how he makes his living. It's a vicious cycle and the book is a first-person descent into it. Buy the book on Amazon A
- 15. Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son by GEORGE HORACE LORIMER { RYAN HOLIDAY } his book is the preserved correspondence between Old Gorgon Graham, a self-made millionaire in Chicago, and his son who is coming of age and entering the family business. The letters date back to the 1890s but feel like they could have been written in any era. Honest. Genuine. Packed with good advice. Buy the book on Amazon T 10
- 16. My Life and Battles by JACK JOHNSON { RYAN HOLIDAY } his is the lost and translated book that came out of a series of pieces Johnson–perhaps the greatest boxer who ever lived–wrote for a French newspaper in 1911. It's not very long but it is full of really interesting strategies and anecdotes. As Jack London put it after Johnson's most famous fight: "No one understands him, this man who smiles. Well, the story of the fight is the story of a smile. If ever a man won by nothing more fatiguing than a smile, Johnson won today." Buy the book on Amazon T 11
- 17. Company K by WILLIAM MARCH { RYAN HOLIDAY } ar and away the best book ever written about WWI. But that's the problem–WWI was awful, perhaps the most awful thing of the 20th century. And this book is forgotten precisely because it portrays the war and its pointlessness too realistically. We want to know, but we don't really want to know. Buy the book on Amazon F 12
- 18. Babbitt by SINCLAIR LEWIS { RYAN HOLIDAY } don't think there was anyone in the 1920s who would have believed that this book would be completely forgotten. Yet, here we are 80–90 years later: you've probably never heard of the term or the book. Perhaps it's because the biting satire of American suburban middle class life cuts deeper now than it did then. It doesn't matter if the book is old, it's still very funny and at its core, a critique of conformity and what Thoreau called the "life of quiet desperation." Buy the book on Amazon I 13
- 19. Asylum: An Alcoholic Takes the Cure by WILLIAM SEABROOK { RYAN HOLIDAY } n 1934, William Seabrook was one of the most famous journalists in the world. He was also an alcoholic. But there was no treatment for his disease. So he checked himself into an insane asylum. There, from the perspective of a travel writer, he described his own journey through this strange and foreign place. Today, you can't read a page in the book without seeing him bump, unknowingly, into the basic principles of 12-step groups and then thwarted by well meaning doctors (like the one who decides he's cured and can start drinking again). It breaks your heart to know that just a few years or decades later, his options (and outcome) would have been so very different (he eventually died of an opium overdose). Buy the book on Amazon I 14
- 20. Ask the Dust by JOHN FANTE15 { RYAN HOLIDAY } his is the west coast's Great Gatsby. Fante has benefited from some recognition—mostly thanks to Bukowski championing him in his later years—but because the book is about Los Angeles and not New York City, it is mostly forgotten. Bandini, the subject of the series, is a wonderful example of someone whose actual life is ruined by the fantasies in his head–every second he spends stuck up there is one he wastes and spoils in real life. He's too caught up and delusional to see that his problems are his fault, that he's vicious because he can't live up to the impossible expec- tations they create, and that he could have everything he wants if he calmed down and lived in reality for a second. Buy the book on Amazon T
- 21. Strategy and Why Don't We Learn from History? by B.H. LIDDELL HART { RYAN HOLIDAY } hese are two very short books but will help you understand the topics more than thousands of pages on the same topic by countless other writers. In my view, Hart is unquestionably the best writer on military strategy and history. His theories on the indirect approach is life changing, whether you're struggling with a business or just office politics. I can't say much more than read these books. It's a must. Buy Strategy and Why Don't We Learn from History? on Amazon T 16
- 22. The Crack Up by F. SCOTT FITZGERALD { RYAN HOLIDAY } f you like Asylum, read The Crack Up, a book put together by Fitzgerald's friend Edmund Wilson after his death. It is such an honest and self-aware compilation of someone hell-bent on their own destruction. At the same time, Fitzgerald's notes and story ideas within the book make it undeniably clear what a genius he truly was. It's a sad and moving but necessary read. Buy the book on Amazon I 17
- 23. On the Rock: Twenty Five Years in Alcatraz by ALVIN KARPIS { RYAN HOLIDAY } ohn Dillinger was played by Johnny Depp. Most people know who he was—mostly because he died in a hail of bullets. But they forget that the other Public Enemy #1 at the time was Alvin Karpis and he didn't die. In fact, he lived up until the 1980s. Just enough time to do a couple decades at Alcatraz with guys like Al Capone. During a temporary transfer to an alternate prison, Karpis met a young weirdo named Charlie Manson and taught him how to play guitar. Buy the book on Amazon J 18
- 24. Death Be Not Proud by JOHN GUNTHER { RYAN HOLIDAY } ritten in 1949 by the famous journalist John Gunther about his death of his son— a genius—at 17 from a brain tumor, this book is deeply moving and profound. Every young person will be awed by this young boy who knows he will die too soon and struggles to do it with dignity and purpose. Buy the book on Amazon W 19
- 25. The Harder They Fall by BUDD SCHULBERG { RYAN HOLIDAY } udd Schulberg's (who wrote On the Waterfront) whole trilogy is amazing and each captures a different historical era. All you need to know about Schulberg's writing is captured in this quote from his obituary: "It's the writer's responsibility to stand up against that power. The writers are really almost the only ones, except for very honest politicians, who can make any dent on that system. I tried to do that. And that's affected me my whole life." Buy the book on Amazon B 20
- 26. Losing the War by LEE SANDLIN { RYAN HOLIDAY } his is an essay, not a book, but if you have to read one thing about WWII, this is it. Sandlin is a master and the essay is free, read it. Read the essay here T 21
- 27. The Measure of My Days by FLORIDA SCOTT MAXWELL { RYAN HOLIDAY } he daily notes of a strong but dying woman (born 1883, written in 1968) watching her life slowly leave her and wind to a close. The wisdom in this thing is amazing and the fact that most people have no idea exists–and basically wait until the end of their life to start thinking about all this is very sad to me. Buy the book on Amazon T 22
- 28. The Power Tactics of Jesus Christ and Other Essays by JAY HALEY { RYAN HOLIDAY } he title essay in this book is peerless and amazing. The rest of the essays, which talk about Haley's unusual approach to psychotherapy are also quite good. If you've gone to therapy, are thinking about going to therapy, or know someone going to therapy, this book is a must-read. Buy the book on Amazon T 23
- 29. The Tiger: A True Story of Vengeance and Survival by JOHN VAILLANT { RYAN HOLIDAY } 'll end with this book because it's the most recent. The (true) story is simple: man in Siberia wounds tiger while hunting to feed his family. Tiger goes on killing spree while hunting the man down, and is stopped only when the Russian government dispatches a special SWAT team to track and kill it. This is probably the single best piece of nonfiction journalism I've ever read. Buy the book on Amazon I 24

Apparently there's a big game this weekend. I knew it was coming up, but it wasn't really on my radar until I started thinking about what I wanted to cook. Hi, I'm Courtney and I don't care about football but like to "watch" it so I can enjoy foods like dips and chips and hot dogs. Phew. It feels good to admit that.
Do you have a guilty pleasure food? Back in the day, mine was southwestern egg rolls from Chili's. I never wanted to eat an actual meal there, but I was perfectly content with a margarita and appetizers. Even when I shunned most chain restaurants, I still craved those egg rolls. What's not to love about delicious filling in a portable, deep fried pocket? Well, calories for one thing. While this version certainly isn't healthy, it's far healthier than any you'll find in a restaurant. They're baked, not fried, and you can control what you put in them. They are fantastic as is but would also be great with cooked, shredded chicken or a minced chipotle or two mixed in. It's hard to beat my all time favorite party food, chipotle ranch chicken taquitos, but these egg rolls definitely come close.
Need something to dip these in? I would recommend roasted tomatillo salsa or chipotle salsa. You can also add chipotle or avocado to my favorite ranch dressing to get something that's pretty similar to what you'll find served with these at most restaurants.

Peperoni Al Tonno
Makes 8 to 10 servings
This dish was sitting on the table in the Maneras' family dining room table in Piedmont, the prelude to one of the finer meals I've ever eaten, and the first of many since I've taken in their company. I make these peperoni often in summer, when red bell peppers are plentiful. It's very easy and fast, and perfect for a large group. You can easily cut the recipe in half to suit a smaller group. Serve this, as Luciano Maneras did, with a dry but fruity red, such as Dolcetto.
6 whole roasted medium red bell peppers (see note)
2 cans (6 ounces each) tuna packed in olive oil, drained
6 tablespoons capers, preferably preserved in salt
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, for garnish
Susan suggests this method for roasting peppers yourself: Place peppers over the flame of a gas burner on medium-high, turning with tongs until they are charred all over (the skins crackled and flaking). Watch carefully to prevent the peppers from burning. Remove from the burners and wrap in a kitchen towel, aluminum foil, or a brown paper bag for 15 minutes. The steam from the peppers will loosen the skin, and when cool enough to handle, the skins will rub right off. Over the sink, remove the seeds and pith from the peppers and proceed with the recipe.
1. Cut the peppers lengthwise into quarters. Arrange, insides up, on a serving platter and set aside.
2. Combine the tuna and capers in a food processor and process until finely chopped. With the machine running, add the oil in a steady stream through the feed tube and continue processing until the mixture has turned an ivory color and is quite smooth (8 to 10 minutes).
3. Fill the pepper quarters with the tuna purée, using about 1 generous tablespoon per pepper.
4. Mince the parsley leaves, if using, and gamish. Serve immediately.

Limited Slip Differential Worth It?
I just had a small question for my fellow SVT owners. I've made good plans to go with a few NA upgrades and finish off with a Tune. Ultimately, I will make a switch out to a stage 1 cluth and lighter flywheel, but I was wanting to ask if the limited-slip differential is worth the money or install? Keep in mind that I will not be putting FI into my car, just to keep it's drivability and low gas mileage in check. I just wanted to do NA upgrades to make it decently fast/fun, since bolt-ons and a tune merely bring out what is already there. So in my case, would the limited-slip worth it since it is a pretty expensive piece of equipment? (at least for the SVT that is)
Thanks for the responses
My plans for my SVT include just about everything you can do to the engine and still keep it NA and I think it's capable of making upwards of 250~270bhp at the flywheel with all the bolt-ons, cams (when they are released), valves, P&P and the proper tune, this translates to roughly 225~260fwhp with the right clutch and a LSD.
If you have the money and can afford it then it's totally worth it, it increases drivability, cornering capability, acceleration and transmission response, but the Quaffie does run nearly $1200 and the Phantom-Grip is almost $700 so its a lot of cash. If this is just your daily and you have no plans for racing/auto-Xing etc. then its probably not the most necessary item.
Yeah, it would probably take a second or 2 off your lap time, but its not going to take any time off your drive from the house to work.
A friend of mine had an SVT that was totally modded out...she had a spec stage 3 clutch, fidanza flywheel, and the quaife LSD. We swapped cars for while (like, for a couple weeks) and that made me want her clutch, but the LSD wouldn't be worth it, to me.
The only noticeable difference it made in street driving was that while turning, the car wouldn't "return" to a straight line. If you didn't force the wheel to straighten out, you'd just keep on going in a circle. Even with all of the mods she had done (cam gears, exhaust w/ ORP, UDP, CAI etc...) I still beat her in races only having my few mods and Tom's tune. It pissed her off, to say the least...she ended up selling the SVT.
So yeah, there is definitely more grip and control with the LSD, but NOT worth the cost if you aren't competing in racing events.
I'll let you know in a few weeks. mine's on order from tom, I'm expecting it in the mail any day
its seems awfully expensive and i couldnt justify getting for street use. If you are going to be auto crossing or racing or something then yes i would say get it. But for daily use you could buy alot of other things that you would probably use more.
Are you going to do the install?
If so...
WE WANT A WRITE UP WITH PICS!!![thumb]
yes, quaife, me and another mechanic at my shop are doing it, and I'll try to take some pics
Blah blah blah, it's only 70-80 more whp than stock, with the proper boltons, match porting on the header and intake manifold to the block and head, valves, TB, MAF, intake, header coat, high-flow cat , free flow exhaust, injectors, fuel rail, cam gear, cams, UDP, hardlines and SS hoses, light flywheel, stage III clutch and the proper tune it's well within reach...and if I'm not quite there there's always N2O.
Further the stock S2000 engine is a 2.5L I4 and it makes around 220 RWHP, it's NA and stock, with a few bolt-ons it can make 260 easy...
