They do give out Sports Emmy awards for set design - a way for the TV industry to recognize creative minds who occasionally have figured out a new, dynamic way of meshing together digitally-glowing desk pods, pulsating video monitors and obtrusive sponsor signage around an otherwise stagnant arrangement of talking heads.
This, because there are no guarantees that an audience's attention will be held by compelling discussions among smart people about important topics. Pizazz is a spice that must be added liberally.
Then again, we've been waiting all season for the "NFL on Fox" super nova studio to finally come off its moorings like something from "Close Encounters of a Third Kind," break away from its earthly ties and blast off into the vast unknown - knowing full well that all those people in the background who've been eye-locked onto their computer screens wouldn't even flinch at such an event, more concerned they'd miss an important tweet.
Considering the importance of Hollywood set design and its constant evolution into the sports world, it's worth noting that construction is nearly finished for a new "NBA Countdown" studio at ESPN's L.A. Production Center across the street from Staples Center that's so monumental, it could be mistaken as an addition to the ESPN Zone restaurant.
This TV home for Magic Johnson, Mike Wilbon, Bill Simmons and Jalen Rose to sit around and chat things up will take up some 4,000 of the 6,600-square footage available in the studio - easily the largest set in the building. It is to be unwrapped on Christmas Day, the network's gift to the viewers and an attempt to bring some cohesion to the coverage of five NBA games that day, including the Lakers-Knicks (noon, Channel 7) and Clippers-Nuggets (7:30 p.m., ESPN), both from Staples Center.
Don't be naive enough to think this new set-up will look like a nativity scene.
Four eight-foot video screens will be added, along with six automated mobile video monitors. There's an LED curtain that will change color and texture when needed.
Even the desk will be bigger for the guys to hang out, get up, walk around and stay engaged.
But no trap doors to keep things interesting.
"Oh, I'm excited to see it - all the gadgets, man, it's going to blow people away," Johnson said Thursday. "I can't wait for Christmas Day."
Mark Gross, the ESPN senior VP and executive producer, said the fan experience is what will be enhanced by "the combination of more tools and more space" that allow the analysts to "further emphasize key points and elaborate."
Amina Hussein, the "Countdown" coordinating producer, said "the challenge is to give everyone more opportunities for creative storytelling. Sometimes, we'll keep the shot on the four guys because the conversation is engaging, but we want the opportunity to have video ready to give a visual on what they're talking about and stay on the topic."
We don't recall TNT ever going to such an extreme gussy-up measure to entice more viewership to its NBA pregame show. But then, we're no expert in visual overstimulation.
Hussein's sense is the ESPN/ABC NBA show, produced by producer Kim Belton, isn't in a competition with the TNT's established cast of NBA outrageousness led by Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Shaquille O'Neal - a group that Magic Johnson was once part of until he signed a deal with ESPN a couple of years ago.
This is the first year that ESPN has matched up Wilbon and Johnson with Grantland.com editor Simmons and former NBA player Rose, so that alone is "a work in progress," Hussein said.
"But I think every show has gotten better, and the guys really get along well with each other," Hussein said. "Sometimes, the conversation in the room as they're watching games (and off camera) is better than when they're on the set."
Maybe this will want them to spend more time in the set? As long as we don't lose them in the decor.
Ready, set, explode.
Mike Breen doesn't mind double duty on Christmas Day
Wouldn't you rather be with your wife and three kids on Christmas Day instead of all the way across the country, being asked to do play-by-play on not just one but two NBA games in one holiday?
Mike Breen said working on the holiday is "just an occupational hazard," but doing the Lakers-Knicks game followed by the Clippers-Nuggets, both at Staples Center, won't be too taxing.
"This time of year is fun, actually," Breen said on Thursday. "I beg my family to come and travel with me every Christmas. I'm not beneath bribery. But I admire their loyalty in staying home (in New York), so as long as they want to do that I might as well do two games in one day."
Breen's alternative will be to stay home for as long as possible on Christmas Eve before flying out Monday night to Los Angeles. Breen and analyst Stan Van Gundy actually did a Lakers/Clippers doubleheader from Staples Center for the network last summer during the playoffs.
The doubleheader they pulled off last Christmas was far more logistically challenging. After calling the Heat-Mavs game from Dallas in the morning (which was the league's work-stoppage-delayed season opener), they flew up to Oakland to do the Warriors' game against the Clippers, but that was by their own choosing. That game featured the debut of Golden State coach Mark Jackson, who had been part of the Breen-Van Gundy broadcast team the previous few seasons.
"It's never a problem with finding the energy to do (two games in one day)," said Breen, who will do both games Tuesday again with Van Gundy as well as courtside reporter Heather Cox. "I just remember back at NBC doing some Olympics when there were four or five games in a day, and by the time the South Korea-China women's basketball game came at the end, you tended to get a little loopy."
One thing to make the back end of the doubleheader a little more entertaining - Breen and Van Gundy will be joined at some point by actor Billy Crystal, the longtime Clippers fan who also happens to be promoting a Christmas Day movie, "Parental Guidance." It should be a PG telecast from there, as Crystal had some opportunity to get his game face on while co-anchoring the 3 p.m. "SportsCenter" last Wednesday in Bristol, Conn.
If only Jack Nicholson had a flick coming out on Christmas Day.
== Fox Sports Radio officially confirmed our report last week about the hiring of Jay Mohr as the replacement for Jim Rome in the weekday 9 a.m.-to-noon slot, emanating from the network studios in Sherman Oaks. Mohr will start on Jan. 2. Rome's last show, heard on KLAC-AM (570), will be today with his annual year in a review. "After spending the last 15 years guest hosting, I couldn't be happier to get the opportunity to host my own show!" Mohr said in the press release, complete with the exclamation point. "I'm looking forward to talking sports, connecting with listeners, and interviewing amazing guests every day, while being a part of the Fox Sports Radio family. It was worth the wait."
== In laying a 30-day suspension on ESPN2 "First Take" commentator and former newspaper columnist Rob Parker for his characterization a week ago of Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III, ESPN exposed more holes in how it mishandled the situation rather than trying to immediately fix it. On the Dec. 13 show, Parker, who is African-American, questioned Griffin as "a black guy kind of distancing himself away from black people. ... My straight honest question: Is he a brother, or is he a cornball brother? OK, he's black ... but he's not really down with the cause. He's not one of us." Parker came under instant criticism for his take, even from Griffin's father, and ESPN suspended him the next day. Parker did not issue any kind of apology until Wednesday when, via Twitter, he said: "I blew it and I'm sincerely sorry. I completely understand how the issue of race in sports is a sensitive one and needs to be handled with great care. I failed to do that." ESPN admitted it made a mistake in re-airing Parker's comments on the ESPN2 show's replay later in the day rather than edit them out. Marcia Keegan, ESPN's VP of production who oversees "First Take," said in a statement Thursday that "our review of the preparation for the show and the re-air has established that mistakes both in judgment and communication were made. ... To address this, we have enhanced the editorial oversight of the show and have taken appropriate disciplinary measures with the personnel responsible for these failures."

Theatre South Carolina to stage Wilder's 'The Skin of Our Teeth'
The University of South Carolina's Theatre South Carolina will stage Thornton Wilder's classic comedy, "The Skin of Our Teeth," Feb. 20 – March 1 at Drayton Hall.
Show times are 8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday. Tickets will be available at the Longstreet box office beginning Feb. 13 at 12:30 p.m. and at the Drayton Hall box office Feb. 20, two hours before every show. Tickets are $16 for the public, $14 for military personnel and University of South Carolina faculty and staff and senior citizens (age 60+) and $10 for students.
Directed by visiting professor of acting Robert Richmond, the Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy chronicles the Antrobus family, from the dawn of mankind to the eve of destruction. As the heroes survive history's calamities, Wilder reminds the audience that mankind has essentially remained unchanged throughout history, always escaping catastrophe by "the skin of our teeth."
The comedy in three acts premiered on Broadway in 1942, less than a year after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The Antrobus family, in all its absurdity and frailty, serves the play as symbols of humanity and its struggles, both external and from within.
"Given our nation's present economic disaster, the message of 'The Skin of Our Teeth' is very timely indeed," Richmond said. "The spine of the play seems to be the resilience of the American nuclear family, which I believe Wilder thinks will survive as a unit, no matter what disasters life might throw at it. It is a play full of hope and believes wholeheartedly in the tenacity of the human spirit. The play underlines that hardship and despair are necessary experiences in order to measure the virtues of humanity."
A native of Hastings, England, Richmond has directed more than 30 productions for Aquila Theatre, including many Shakespeare plays and other classical dramas, such as Homer's "The Iliad: Book One" and Edmond Rostand's "Cyrano de Bergerac." For Theatre South Carolina, Richmond has directed "As You Like It," "Oh! What a Lovely War" and, most recently, "A Cabal of Hypocrites." Richmond's most recent credits were directing "Hamlet" at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts and the popular outdoor drama, "The Lost Colony."
Richmond is known for putting playful spins on classic texts. For the Theatre South Carolina production, he will use the modern aesthetic of the cinema to guide the audience through the leap of 4,000 years of history. The first act will be presented as a black-and-white movie, with both set and actors portrayed in perfect grayscale. The second act will employ the Technicolor tradition of the 1950s, while the final act will employ the realistic and gritty technique of today's horror and sci-fi films.
Joining the cast of graduate and undergraduate students will be recently retired University of South Carolina President Andrew Sorensen, who will appear each night as the news broadcaster who introduces each act. Sorenson's passages will be filmed and projected. MFA students Eric Bultman and Felicia Bertch, who portray Mr. and Mrs. Antrobus, recently returned from internships at the Milwaukee Repertory Theatre and Seattle Children's Theatre, respectively.
"The Skin of Our Teeth" is a play within a play; throughout the action, audiences see members of a theater company, such as a stage manager, putting on the story of the Antrobus family. To enhance this element of the play, theater department staff members Kevin Bush and Lee Waters will appear nightly in the play.
Wilder, a novelist and playwright, is best known for his Pulitzer Prize-winning plays, "Our Town" and "The Skin of Our Teeth," and the novel, "Bridge of San Luis Rey," which also earned a Pulitzer. His play, "The Matchmaker," was adapted into the musical "Hello Dolly!"

HIS mother may have been the Cleopatra of Snakes and his father the original snake man of La Perouse, but the last of the snake men, John Cann, admits his real passion was for turtles.
''Turtles were my main interest,'' he said. ''They're terribly on the decrease and nobody knows why. They're dying in every major river system in Australia and Papua New Guinea.''
For 90 years Mr Cann's family ran the snake show every Sunday in the pit at La Perouse, an area once alive with snakes - tigers, browns and blacks. His father George, a showman and curator of reptiles at Taronga Zoo, started the show in 1919 and helped start the first anti-venom program with the late Eric Worrell of the Australian Reptile Park.
Now the Canns's contribution to La Perouse and our knowledge of snakes has been recognised side by side with the suburb's French namesake in a permanent exhibition at the La Perouse Museum (Botany Bay National Park).
Some people may have thought the Cann show a bit of vaudeville, a sideshow owing more to the tradition of Bearded Ladies, the Tallest Man in the World and, drumroll please, Two-Headed Men.
Yet many of the early snake handlers were called professors. These self-taught herpetologists pioneered the study of reptiles, collected species and tested anti-venoms and theories (very often with fatal results).
John Cann is a professor in that tradition.
He's written five books on snakes and turtles, uncovered 10 to 12 new turtle species, travelled Australia and the world to lecture on snakes and reptiles, and advised the zoo and the reptile park. Until he was 60, Mr Cann worked full time job as a rigger while raising a large family.
He sees the snake-show legacy as a major contribution to our understanding of snakes, but during the show he often broke the law to show visitors how dangerous snakes could be.
''We used to break the law all the time. We always had lively snakes. People want to see them bite or strike,'' Mr Cann said of the visitors who came to his show. Often he would let four snakes out at once, despite the law allowing only one snake on display at any time.
When the snakes got used to him handling them, Mr Cann would let them go, then head down the back of La Perouse for fresh, lively snakes instead of using snakes kept in captivity as required by law.
''If people see quiet snakes, they can get the wrong impression. Kids may think they can pick them up.'' The downside to handling such lively snakes was that, when he slowed down, they didn't.
''My reflexes weren't too good,'' Mr Cann said of the months before he retired two years ago.
He admits to leaving one too many doors open on the cages where he kept the poisonous snakes at home.
He had been bitten five times, once by a tiger snake, which caused complications that caused the loss of a kidney this year. He had also developed an allergy to snakes, and the next bite would have been fatal.
His children did not want to take over the show. ''My sons weren't interested in reptiles, which made me a bit sad and a bit glad,'' he said.
Retiring was a relief, freeing him to go outback in search of turtles: ''As soon as I gave it away, I was away to Western Australia.''
He's now 1200 pages into volumes one and two of a family history, including his own sporting ventures (he represented Australia in the decathlon in the 1956 Melbourne Olympics and he played Rugby League for NSW).
Sadly for us, it's a limited release: family only.
His memoirs will also be available in the National Library and in the Maroubra library.

How to keep kids entertained all summer long
Many parents pore over ideas that will keep their children busy throughout the summer. Many activities that come to mind tend to be expensive, so if cutting costs is a priority, parents might need to think outside the box to come up with entertaining ideas that won't break the bank.
Summer camp is a popular way for kids to spend their summers, but many camps are expensive.The American Camp Association has found that overnight camps can cost anywhere from $325 to $780 a week. Day camp fees may be $100 to $275 per week. Parents who send their children to camp for an entire season might pay anywhere from $3,000 to $9,000 for the seven- to nine-week program.
Parents looking for an alternative to costly camps should consider local programs that offer summer activities. Libraries, schools and childcare centers may have programs that run the length of summer and are considerably less expensive than more formal camps. A YMCA or even a swim club may also put together activities. Parents whose children attend afterschool sporting classes, such as karate or soccer, may find that the organizations offer a camp or summer program.
Day Trips
If a parent is off for the summer, then day trips may be a possibility. Schedule a few day trips to different locations that the kids are excited to see. Newspapers routinely print "Go See It" or "Just Go" listings that highlight local events. The family can gather around the table and decide which outings would be interesting and then mark them on the calendar. Some parents purchase season passes to amusement parks and take the kids several times over the summer. In either case, bring snacks and lunch from home when possible to keep costs in check.
Kid Swap
Chances are many of your neighbors are also facing the same difficulties as they try to find ways for kids to spend their summer afternoons. Parents can get together and set up a schedule for entertaining the kids. For example, one parent is responsible for the whole lot one day, while the next day another parent takes a turn. This gives parents the opportunity to take a break from parental responsibilities and enjoy some quiet time. And for the children, time spent in a pool, watching movies, playing video games, or riding bikes is often more enjoyable with friends in tow.
Fun Projects
Children often want to feel useful, and may enjoy the responsibility of some easy tasks in and around the house -- so long as the tasks are fun. Washing the car with a hose and a bucket of sudsy water is a fun way to cool off during the hot summer days and get a chore done. While parents should not expect a perfect job, they can rest assured that the kids will have at least an hour of fun in the sun and water.
Set aside a patch of the yard that children can turn into their own personal gardens. Encourage digging in this area and provide seeds or seedling plants as well as kid-sized gardening tools. Each day the kids can check on the progress of their gardens.
Some home-improvement and craft stores sponsor free learning activities for children. They can be held in the morning or afternoon and will teach interesting skills that can be put to use again at home.
Summer vacations are soon to arrive, and parents can be armed with a list of enjoyable -- yet inexpensive -- ways to keep kids busy.

Woman Leads Toledo Police On Car Chase
A woman led Toledo Police on a chase, evading a spike strip before finally being stopped but refusing to get out of her vehicle.
According to Toledo Police, the woman committed a traffic violation Downtown and refused to pull over for officers when they tried to stop her. Police said she managed to avoid a spike strip at Secor Road and Towerview Boulevard.Police arrested the woman, who was driving a black Dodge Grand Caravan, near West Central Avenue and Secor Road around 10:40 a.m. June 11.
"She led officers on a lengthy pursuit through Downtown, and they ended up terminating it," said TPD Lt. Ron Frederick.
However, the woman was spotted minutes later at a Taco Bell on Airport Highway, and the chase started again, Frederick said. Police stopped her vehicle on West Central Avenue, but she refused to unlock the doors or speak to the officers.

What is Swedish House Mafia up to?
Listen to Swedish House Mafia on iHeartRadio
It's been a few months since Swedish House Mafia drew their "final curtain" at Ultra Music Festival in Miami. It seems like the trio has left the world behind, each revealing new music and projects separately - until now. A new website has emerged called leavetheworldbehind.com, and connects with a Tumblr page, which features numerous images and gifs from a new cryptic video starring Axwell.
Where does Swedish House Mafia fit into all of this? Axwell, Steve Angello, and Sebastian Ingrosso have been promoting the hashtag #leavetheworldbehind via Twitter, by tweeting and Instagramming photos in connection with the site. What's even more, is that Axwell has posted a video, starring himself, titled "Lune 'Leave The World Behind.'"
The video lasts 11 seconds, and features Axwell, who appears lost at sea or leaving the world behind somewhere on a boat.
leavetheworldbehind.com instagram.com/p/ZTMggBGimI/— Steve Angello (@SteveAngello) May 14, 2013
leavetheworldbehind.com instagram.com/p/ZTFiKsxgnf/— Sebastian Ingrosso (@SebIngrosso) May 14, 2013
youtu.be/dx3SW8Y1XS0 leavetheworldbehind.com #leavetheworldbehind— Axwell (@Axwell) May 14, 2013
A video has also been posted starring Sebastian Ingrosso. We can only expect that a third video will surface featuring Steve Angello.
Although there has been no tweets from the Swedish House Mafia Twitter account, their Facebook page has two recent posts on it. One of the posts being a simple "..." and the other, the 11 second Axwell video with a link to leavetheworldbehind.com.
What does this mean SHM?! Well, it's hard to say. There has been some speculation amongst fans that it's a Swedish House Mafia documentary or perhaps a tour DVD, but there is no official word. Only that "Leave The World Behind" world premieres on May 17th. Until then, we can only imagine.
Oh, those Swedes. They know how to keep fans on the edge of their seats!

Shore-Inspired Thanksgiving Table Decorations
Host a shore-inspired Thanksgiving with these simple decoration tips!
Host a shore-inspired Thanksgiving with these simple decoration tips!
While many of us associate Thanksgiving with crisp cold air, berried branches, turning foliage, and chrysanthemums, not everyone has to go over the river and through the woods to get to grandmother's house. Some just take a barefoot stroll along the beach, perhaps collecting a few shells along the way.
If I were spending the holiday at my place in Florida here is how I would like my table to look. Not only is it coastal inspired but also it is a cleaner, less cluttered and simpler look. This also matches our lifestyle down there which is completely opposite from our hectic, full, fast-paced life in New York.
We used a few common beach accents and tied them in with a neutral scheme to give a light and relaxing feel to the room. If the beach is easily accesibl to you, you have the luxury of heading to the shore for your decor. We recommend filling a few glass jars of varying sizes with sand and small shells. Or, for an easy centerpiece, you can do the same with a large glass bowl.
Use found objects as well as treasured keepsakes to create the look you want. Keeping the colors soft and using monochromatic single variety flowers will provide a sense of calm.
We used shells instead of the traditional glass vases to tie the theme together. If you can't collect them form the beach, head over to your local craft store. They're sure to have a collection of shells in every shape, size, and color.
Write each guest's name on a sand dollar and tuck a single cymbidium orchid behind it for a chic place setting.
Serve drinks in mason jars instead of glasses for a convenient and trendy option. Tie a light colored ribbon on the jar for an easy and chic accent!
And even though you want to keep your decorations shore inspired, you should still be sure to have few holiday staples incorporated into your decor. If you're feeling creative, see if you can think of ways to throw a few discreet Thanksgiving icons into the mix like inviting the kids to use found seashells to make turkeys! Or, you can opt to just serve the traditional drinks and just dress up the serving up (or mason jar!). Tie a tiny seashell or bag of sand to the top for cute presentation.

What I Did This Summer: Make history more accessible
"What I Did This Summer" follows a number of University of South Carolina students this summer as they work, travel, and explore the world. Many of them are blogging about their adventures. This is the tenth story in the series, and it was written by Melanie Griffin, a journalism senior who was a summer intern in the University's Office of Publications.
Jennifer Daniels and Emily Rogers spent the summer tackling history firsthand as interns in the University Libraries.
Both history majors heard about the positions through their History 480 class, which sets students up with internships at agencies that prepare historical resources for public audiences.
"I didn't know what area of history I wanted to specialize in, which is one reason my advisor suggested I take the course this summer," said Daniels, a senior set to graduate in December.
"I've learned how to preserve historical documents and, more importantly, why these documents are saved through the years."
After digitizing the 1949 Garnet and Black yearbook as an introduction to the technology she would be using, Daniels started working on her assigned personal project of digitizing the James Glen Papers, held by South Caroliniana Library.
"This has been a collection the South Caroliniana Library has wanted to digitize for a long time," said Patricia Sasser, the project manager.
Daniels scanned over 300 of the pre-revolutionary South Carolina governor's papers -- including documents from King George of England, marriage settlements, and correspondences -- into the library's computer system. After changing the images from tiffs to jpegs for more compatible viewing, she compiled bibliographic data by entering each document's creator, date, source, and other descriptive tags into a spreadsheet. Then she added the documents to a content management system for website viewing.
Kate Boyd
"We as a library collaborate with 33 institutions," said Kate Boyd, digital collections librarian at Thomas Cooper Library. "We want to make our digitized collection available to the whole state because it has a broad appeal."
Rogers' project was to organize the S.C. Political Collection's League of Women Voters documents.
"My favorite part was looking at the papers from around election times because the organization can't be partisan but you can still kind of see it through changes that were made depending on who was in charge," Rogers said. She read every piece of paper in the boxes of files she added to the ongoing collection. Some date as far back as the 1960s, but most are concentrated between 1994 and 2008.
From 17th century indentured servant documents with wax seals and still-legible signatures to the League of Women Voters' inner administrative workings, Daniels and Rogers helped the library in its mission of making history more accessible.
"We're constantly looking for collections to be done," Boyd said. "It's great to have such eager help."

The Report on Carcinogens (RoC) is a congressionally mandated, science-based, public health report that identifies agents, substances, mixtures, or exposures (collectively called "substances") in our environment that pose a hazard to people residing in the United States.
The National Toxicology Program (NTP) prepares the RoC on behalf of the Secretary, Health and Human Services. Substances are listed in the RoC following a multi-step process with several opportunities for scientific and public inputs and using established listing criteria.Other substances are under review for future editions of the RoC.
For each listed substance, the RoC contains a substance profile that contains the listing recommendation and a summary of the scientific evidence considered key to reaching that recommendation. In addition, the profile contains information on potential sources of exposure to humans and current federal regulations to limit exposures.

In the boot menu, you should try to use VESA as a boot option, as that worked on
my little brothers computer having similar hardware specs and also just having 100%
black-screen. ;P
(oh yeah you can choose that on BackTrack 3 Beta, i would try some of the "CheatCodes"
for backtrack when booting up. You can find these Cheat/Boot-Codes in the BackTrack Wiki)

Prime Minister addressed the audience during the construction ceremony of City Hospital in Bilkent, Ankara: "The democratization package will meet many expectations of our people. We aim to be one of the top 10 economies in the world by 2023.
Azerbaycan Novoye Vremya, October 6th, 2008
Adnan Oktar: TURKEY WILL BE DEFINITELY FINE. Nothing bad will happen to Turkish-Islamic countries. They will be blessed with wealth and welfare. Insa' Allah, the days of abundance and wealth are very close. By the Grace of God, we are entering the Golden Age. Turkish countries will be happier, they will rejoice, they will live with great life standards. These financial crises are just temporary problems, they won't affect us. However, of course we wouldn't want USA or Christians to suffer from it, too. And we'll do everything in our power to help them insa' Allah.
Kaçkar TV, February 2nd, 2008
ADNAN OKTAR: First of all, let me tell you that we are on the eve of very beautiful days. It is not only I, that say it. The foreign intelligence organizations, foreign strategists also think the same way. TURKEY WILL TURN INTO A SUPER POWER BY 2016, AND THROUGHOUT 2020, 2023. THE REGION WILL ALSO ENJOY AN UNPREDECENTED ABUNDANCE AND WEALTH. And one hadith says that: In those days, even the dead will say 'we wish we were alive to see these beautiful days'. So, insa'Allah, we are very close to beautiful days.
ArabNews, November 9th, 2008
Adnan Oktar: That's why I have great hopes from Turkey and the developments are great, as well. Turkey is moving fast in the direction of the Turkish-Islamic Union. Islamic countries want this very much too. Turkic Republics want it very much, as well. I believe that this union will happen in the next 10 years, insa'Allah.

CRKSEB21LCOCO: Large Sebenza 21 Cocobolo Inlays
Chris Reeve Knives
The folding knife that has become the yardstick against which others are compared, the Sebenza has earned a worldwide reputation for rock solid performance and a "bank vault" feel. Chris developed the first Sebenza in 1987 and the profile has experienced minor changes over the years. After the entirely handmade version, came the Original profile in 1990, the Regular in 1996 and the Classic in 2000. 2008 was the 21st year of the Sebenza and to celebrate, CRK introduced the Sebenza 21—an updated version of the classic, that is easier to insert into a pocket or pouch. Whether plain with a tumbled or "stonewashed" S35VN blade and sand blasted handles, or embellished with a polished or damascus blade, wood inlay or lavish graphics, each Sebenza is individually fitted to the closest tolerances.
Sebenzas with Inlays:
Bridging the gap between hi-tech titanium and the organic feel of natural material is the Sebenza 21 with inlay. Available with mammoth or a choice of woods, each piece fits exactly into one of three pockets machined into the handle—two on the front and one on the back. For those who prefer all hi-tech, we also offer inlays of black canvas Micarta. The fit of the inlay into the pocket is to extremely tight tolerance and the sections are retained with VHB™ (very high bonding) double sided tape. The inlays give a contoured feel to the handle and are as attractive as they are functional. A polished S35VN blade and satin finish titanium handles enhance the wood inlay Sebenza 21 with wood or mammoth, tumbled blade and sandblasted handle complete those with Micarta. A gold or silver thumb lug and spacer is chosen to coordinate with the color of the inlay.

Semi-Custom or Mid-Tech knives are knives produced by a process in which the designer has more direct--but not complete--involvement; parts of these knives may still have been made by others.
Leather is known for its durability and traditional appeal. When compared to Kydex it is preferred for its silence when bumped against other objects, as well as blade retention.
Developed by Chris Reeve, it functions like a liner lock but the lock is comprised of one of the handle scales. It's an extremely strong and easy to manipulate lock.
Includes a pocket clip for easy accessibility and a more secure carry.
A tougher steel than S30V, it retains the excellent corrosive properties and ability to take an edge, but improves on the ability to hold that edge.
A nonferrous metal, it's prized for its high strength to weight ratio and is often used on higher end knives.
This product is USA born and raised.

Britney Spears Addresses Break-Up Onstage In Vegas
Listen to Britney Spears Radio on iHeartRadio
Britney Spears is making no secret of that fact that she's single again. "MTV News" says she confirmed her breakup with boyfriend David Lucado onstage Sunday night during her "Piece of Me" show at the Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas.
The star reportedly told her crowd, "Well, by now everyone knows my boyfriend cheated on me." Attendees showered Britney with support and boo-ed Lucado over the allegations of his infidelity.
The onstage relationship update was also Britney's segue into another part of her concert, continuing the tradition of tying a fan to her leash for the S&M-themed song "Freakshow." She picked gossip blogger Perez Hilton out from the audience and had some fun, showing fans she's holding her head high after the recent split.

'How Wars End' series continues Feb. 24, March 2
The University of South Carolina's History Center spring series, "Wars' End/Aftermaths," continues with public talks scheduled Feb. 24 and March 2.
The series runs through April 14 and is free and open to the public. The complete schedule can be accessed online at www.cas.sc.edu/hist/hc/series.html.
"As a country winding up two long wars, we believe that it is important that we reckon historically with the question of how wars end and how wars affect society long after the last bullet has been fired," said Dr. Lawrence Glickman, chairman of USC's history department.
The Feb. 24 talk, set for 7 p.m. in Belk Auditorium in the Darla Moore School of Business, will feature historians who will discuss two wars that loom large in the memories of many South Carolinians. The talk, titled "War and Memory: The Civil War and World War II," features Indiana University's Dr. John Bodnar, who wrote the recently published "The Good War in American Memory," and Purdue University's Dr. Caroline Janney, who is writing a book on the Civil War in American memory. Each will speak for roughly 25 minutes, followed by questions from the audience.
On March 2, presidential historian Dr. Robert Dallek will lecture on his recent book, "The Lost Peace: Leadership in a Time of Hope and Horror, 1945-1953," at 7 p.m. in Gambrell Auditorium. Dallek is the Mark Clark Professor of History at The Citadel this semester. His book is a study of leadership in the post WWII era in the United States, England, Russia, China and other countries; it examines some of the missteps that led to the Cold War. Remaining topics in the series: the aftermath of the French war in Algeria and the cost of France's longterm efforts to hold on to its colony; war crimes and war crimes tribunals and trials.
The History Center in USC's College of Arts and Sciences will offer a variety of public programs and academic activities to foster interaction between scholars and students.
For more information about the History Center, call the center at 803-777-6172, or contact the director, Dr. Matt Childs, at email@example.com

Couple of quick questions
Hey, had the day off today, so going through everything and noticed a couple of things. I'm sure they've been covered ad nauseum here, so forgive me.
Looking at my OG window sticker, my 6er is fairly stock, only the L7 is billed. But I noticed that I have a couple of things that I didn't think were standard, but appear to be on the 05.
Is the 8.8 iDrive screen with NAV standard? I thought the 6.6 one was. Also, is that screen HD and is there anyway to play DVD's through the NAV DVD drive?
Is the ambiance lighting package standard on the 05? It's fantastic, totally in love with it.
Other little things I thought cost extra; the lumbar. The WB, weather band station, don't ask me why, didn't think everyone had that. Weird thing is, there's no heated steering wheel? I know the button is in an odd spot, but it's not there. I posted I had the cold weather package, but I don't.
Blue tooth works great, but there's no way to stream music from your iPhone, right? And it says, cell phone hookup, which I thought meant a holder and outlight in the center console, but there's nothing there. Also, there's no hotel function in the center console or valet keys.
For the power outlights, I have the lighter in the ashtray and the hidden one under the passenger side glove, which doesn't seem to work with my iPhone charger, but my lighter does. So basically, there are only 2 power plugs? Seems strange, I thought I read there was one in the glove box, wish there was, so I could leave my phone plugged in and locked. But if I do leave my phone plugged in, it shuts off with the car right, so it won't drain the battery? Which is great if it does, every other car I had kept charging, which I don't want in case I forget and leave something plugged in.
Also, having trouble programming my garage door opener, didn't think that was standard either? But I followed the instructions, repeated many times, but it's a no go. Is there any trick to that I'm missing?
Anyway, loving the car. Quite simply, one of the finest automobiles ever made, it's a sexy beast! Going to get some more pics up this weekend.
Type your VIN in to this site to,find out exactly what options are fitted to your car:
The programmable mirror is not standard, larger iDrive screen not standard, screen is not HD. The Bluetooth kit that comes as standard does not support the A2DP standard required for the streaming of music. The weather band station can be coded on in any 6.
What do you mean by ambience lighting? The orange LEDs illuminating the centre console? If so then yes, all 6 have them.
There is a hotel function, the key slot for it is built in to the rear section of the centre console, the lid for it opens rearwards.
I'm not sure whether the car would go to sleep if you left your phone plugged in, a good way to check is to leave t plugged in, lock the car for 20 minutes, if the light that lights up the "P" on the gear shift area is still lit then the car has not gone to sleep. I believe that the car goes to sleep after 16 minutes, maybe someone might correct me on that?
You can buy a lead that plugs in the the glove box torch socket in the glove box & it has an adapter on the end that you could plug your charger into. If you have an iPhone 3 or 4 you can buy an adapter that fits under the centre armrest that will charge yourmiphone & it also has a connection for the antenna of your phone to the antenna built in to the rear windshield, the adapter costs approx 100, so in the US you guys will probably get the, for $100.
Thanks for the clarification and links guys. My salesman was a really nice guy, but I knew more about the car than him.
Rebel, the ambient lighting is the center console lights and the various other other touches of light; door handles, cubby compartments, foot rest area, the lighted door sill. My older BMW only had the orange center ones. I'm a sucker for the little touches like that. Found the hotel lock, thought it was in the front, not the rear. Didn't get a valet key, but still nice feature. It looks like the charger does sleep when the car is off, but going to run your suggested test. Thanks for the info.
Yorgi, not exact words, the ad said .******phone slot/ holder or something like that, can't remember exact words. Have an iPhone 5 so I'm out of luck for the built in holder for now anyway. Hopefully they'll release one and I'll run an powerpoint there. Good news is no problems with the phone linking to the car. I read some threads where others had issues with that. But come to think of it, didn't see that on the sticker. The various listings for the car had conflicting info. It seemed like just a stock listing and not car specific, so it was misleading, always good to have the original window sticker. But thanks for the info and link to the homelink thread. Still giving me problems, but I'm sure I'll get it to go eventually.
Garage Door Programing
Dont mean to come across as a Smart A....:bigpimp:; but, in order to do the programing, you have to start the car. In addition, the late model garage openers, have a different way of programing; in which one person has to push a button in the garage unit (on a ladder), an another has to do the button pushing in the car. In mine, after pushing the button once in the garage unit, you have 30 seconds to push the button in your car==>Programing Done. With the older garage openers, all you have to do is: hold the romote control a few inches from the rear view mirror where the car buttons are, and then press both the remote and the button that you select simultaneously, until the car button light starts flickering. Hope this Helps:thumbup:
I have it and I'm happy with it. it has multiple inputs.
In fact I added a rear camera, ipod video, and even my cell phone on the screen ( requires a cell phone with video out of course.)
I purchased it from this company and I needed support and they were very helpful.
Good Luck.

So sorry because my english so bad. This is my post write by english.
I have a question: how long time backtrack upgrade every version ? I am newbie of backtrack
So sorry because my english so bad. This is my post write by english.
I have a question: how long time backtrack upgrade every version ? I am newbie of backtrack
1. What do you mean?
2. Why is it so important to you?
Anyway, NOMEN EST OMEN!!
Don't eat yellow snow :rolleyes:
Google Translate FeTeWe!
Mr. I Stupid: They upgrade it all the time, we're at version 4 now if you read the forums here.
The versions in between is usually beta and pre final and of course, final :-)
[quote][I]I realized, that I had fallen down from the top of the mountain into a deep, terrifying and dark hole, just to find out that another mountain in front of me, much greater than the previous, was the next step in life. I began to wander uphill on the next mountain of life while I knew it would be much harder than the previous mountain. [/I]- MaXe[/quote]
Sorry, I don't use english a long time and so busy to reply concrete
I want backtrack upgrade cause I want to use the applications are nmap, nessus, wireshark newest, and update all database.
Many distro as gentoo, debian, centos use kde 3.5. I don't want use kde 4 because kde 4 so heavy for my PC (pentium D 805, ram 1 gb).
I think backtrack base on ubuntu 8.10 to make easy for newbie learn hack, security . But I see debian is stable and light more than ubuntu. If backtrack team can build 1 new distribution base on debian. It can be good more than backtrack 4 base on ubnutu 8.10.
I use backtrack and read all guide in forum .
Hmm, thats even less clear than your original post.
Lets see if I can sum this up:
You want a version of BackTrack with the newest versions of nmap, nessus, wireshark, and other tools. You dont want KDE4, but instead want version 3.5.
BackTrack 4 PreFinal sounds like its what you need. It doesnt have Nessus (being that Nessus is a commercial product), but it has newish versions of everything else. Plus you can easily update it.
The references to Ubuntu and Debian had me a bit confused. Debian is reasonably light and stable, but its generally WAY behind the times in terms of package versions. Not the best choice if you want the latest versions of software, so from your perspective using Ubuntu packages for BackTrack will help keep things fresher. As for Ubuntu being heavier than Debian - well Ubuntu Desktop is heavier than your standard Debian install, but BackTrack doesnt preinstall all of the same packages as Ubuntu Desktop, so this isnt really a factor for Backtrack. And as for stability, Ive been using new releases of Ubuntu on my main home system for four years now, and with the possible exception of when compiz was introduced into the core system, have had no noticable issues.
Anyway, I dont think that the issue of what distribution to base BackTrack on is really up for debate. Im sure that the BackTrack devs have already had their fill of the wailing and gnashing of teeth after the move from slackware, and don't want to rehash the issue...
Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".
The Forum Rules, Forum FAQ and the BackTrack Wiki... learn them, love them, live them.
I use english so bad, so I must google translate translate my language to english
I used the backtrack 4 (modified from Ubuntu 8.10) and weaknet 2.0 final (modified from Ubuntu 8.04) . Backtrack 4, weaknet have many bug of Ubuntu 8:10, 8:04 . If I install miss some multimedia applications errors. I did not know what to take to fix the my system you're here.
I do not want to apt-get dist-upgrade because the upgrade to Ubuntu 9.04, system is not still backtrack or weaknet . Is the best way is to backup - restore, or the ghost ?
What the way install newest application so keep backtrack 4 system is safe ?
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
firstname.lastname@example.com and from vietnam My language is not popular, so I can speak english good relativel.
I must install backtrack to hdd because want to understand everything of backtrack. I think to your way show too. But my dvd disk so bad, can not usually use DVD.
I think I have to ghost, backup - restore, use virutal machine, usb
But I want to keep safe backtrack system when update database or try newest application. My PC so old, weak (pentium D 805, ram 1 gb) , I can not use virtual machine like vmware, virtual box (ram =<1gb), usb so small (1gb)
True problem is ubuntu have many bug, hard to keep safe system when always update, upgrade, so much apps, modules, package add to systems. Ubuntu not keep Debian safe rules: "Keep everything is simple"
Do you have another way for me ? Thanks so much all answer

Chris Hedges does not seem to be very familiar with the atheist community or with some elements of American Christian fundamentalism. I have read American Fascists and his analysis of the Religious Right seems very incomplete. He almost exclusively covers the Dominionists, but barely mentions the Reconstructionists who have heavily influenced them as well as the white separatist churches and militias who are at the very right-wing fringes of the Christian community. In that book, he treats atheists and secular humanists as the boogymen of fevered right-wing paranoid nightmares, not as people who actually exist and feel threatened by "organized" religious extremism.I don't agree with some of the things that Hitchens or Harris have to say, I am an individual and have my own opinions. I certainly am not some sort of follower. That is the beauty of being a freethinker, unlike a religious follower. I think that Hedges needs to get out and talk to various people in the non-believing community. The atheist community is not consisted only of Hitchens, Harris, and Dawkins, and no atheist speaks for another, everyone speaks only for themselves.
In the Salon article, it is obvious he is reacting to Hitchens and Harris, but does not seem to bother differentiating these two individuals with atheists in general. The atheist community does not have leaders with organized followers, unlike the Christian fundamentalist community which does. If he does realize that Harris and Hitchens only speak for themselves and not for anyone else, he does not make it clear in the interview. Not being personally acquainted with Hedges, I can only read what he has written and said in the Salon article. I have not read his new book.
I say that Hedges is not familiar with the atheist community because he seems to equate atheists with neocons. This is patently ridiculous. Polls have shown that about 76% of atheists and agnostics voted for Democratic candidates in the last election, with atheists and agnostics having one of the highest rates of voter participation (about 80%). The remaining atheists and agnostics were libertarian with only single digit percentages voting for conservative or Republican candidates. This doesn't sound very hawkish or conservative to me. Compared to the average Christian, atheists are fiercely pro church-state separation. We realize that freedom to believe and practice one's belief, where it does not interfere with another's freedom, is the very cornerstone of American democracy and our voting patterns reflect this.
And in the Salon interview, Hedges says "Not believing in sin is very dangerous." He is conflating sin with ethics. Sin is a religious concept. Lets take the example of female genital mutilation. I am firmly against the practice of forcing this horror on innocent children. If one wants to have this done on oneself as an adult, its fine with me, but not on a child. According to the parents of these children, not having the procedure is a sin. Is it? I don't believe in the concept of sin because, as the old saying goes "One man's sin is another man's sacrament." Actions are either ethical or unethical based on some socially agreed upon standard. As times change, the standard changes.
I, like most of the atheists I know are firmly against the Iraq war and have been so before it started. Perhaps Hedges needs to spend time in the company of more atheists instead of a couple of obnoxious authors. He'll find that we are a very diverse and individualistic community.

Chris Hedges's New Book
2 comments:
- Psychodiva said...
I also objected to He3dges' assumption that all atheists are North American - to call a British Atheist a 'neocon' means absolutely nothing- I say he spends a bit of time actually getting off his ass in the USA- if thats where he lives- and tries talking to the rest of us around the world. Of course I am here assuming he is a yank- who like a lot of yanks assumes the world is purely American and the rest of it doesn't exist.

I agree with you. It seems that Hedges is pissed off by Harris and Hitchens and is reacting to the things that they say. He seems to think that they represent all atheists. He does not seem at all familiar with any other atheist or atheist group. I have yet to read his new book so if he is saying somthing different in it, then he is not making himself very clear at all.

Proud to be sponsored bySport-Sense.co.uk
Is this Tool Academy? I notice one of the guys looks a lot like MrWinstonChurchill, haha.
Ive not seen the shoddy triangle/RNC scene yet...quite dissapointing. That Liam probably doesnt do MMA, but his missus did say he was a bouncer so he probably tells everybody he does, and gets afflictioned up to prove it.
How you expect to run with the wolves come night when you spend all day sparring with the puppies
The programme is brilliant. Ave seen the wee clip of the triangle but not seen the full thing yet either.
Proud to be sponsored bySport-Sense.co.uk
i wondered aswell, couldnt be hard to find if he did tho? big scar on head and liverpool tattoos, the triangle attempt was shit tho!!!
falcons martial arts
I took the liberty of pausin the advert and the RNC from e4 last night (don't ask me why lol) and I do not think that Liam does MMA as it's the chubby Lazy tool guy doing both the subs. Lookin at his build my guess would be he trains jiujitsu, but not as regular as he should haha.

Three Colton residents have been arrested on suspicion of robbing a recycling business.
Robert Galan, 23, Tyrone Pogues, 22, and Jerome Pogues, 22, were booked into jail on suspicion of armed robbery and conspiracy.
Colton police came to a recycling business in the 800 block of North Rancho Avenue about 11:30 a.m. Sunday on a report of a robbery.
The robbers ran from the location and two got into a vehicle. Another law enforcement agency spotted the car at the corner of Third Street and Valley Boulevard.
Tyrone and Jerome Pogues, who were in the vehicle, were arrested.
Police later found the gun used in the robbery at a home near the corner of E and Third streets. While trying to capture Galan, the man jumped out of a second story window and escaped. Officers arrested Galan on Monday after they spotted him walking near the corner of Second and C streets.

Chris Paul hit the tiebreaking layup with 39.9 seconds remaining and the Los Angeles Clippers rallied for a 105-104 victory over the Utah Jazz on Monday night at EnergySolutions Arena.
With the score tied, 99-99, Paul drove off a high pick-and-roll and got all the way to the basket against a late-arriving Utah defense.
On the next possession, DeAndre Jordan blocked Al Jefferson's floater from the lane.
The Jazz quickly fouled, but Matt Barnes made two free throws with 17.5 seconds left to doom Utah, which lost its first home game after six straight victories.
Blake Griffin finished with 30 points for the Clippers.
Mo Williams topped Utah with 20 points.
The Jazz and Clippers were tied, 15-15, with 4:10 left in the first quarter when Jefferson scored and triggered a 16-4 run.
Los Angeles made only one of its final 10 shots, while Utah ended the quarter shooting 74 percent.
The Clippers warmed up in the second quarter and the Jazz could extend their lead.
Jamal Crawford scored nine points and Griffin contributed seven in the final four minutes as L.A. narrowed what had been a 56-46 deficit.
Gordon Hayward scored 13 points and Williams added nine to help stake the Jazz to its 58-51 halftime lead.
Griffin led L.A. with 15 points.

hy guys.
I'm using bt4 pre final and have a device which came with the chipset ralinktech 3070.
when I plug in the hardware and want to set it up to the monitor mode it looks like this.
I can't understand why there stands PCI where the device is an usb adapter.Quote:
root@bt:~# airmon-ng start ra0
Interface Chipset Driver
ra0 Ralink 2560 PCI rt2500 (monitor mode enabled)
iwconfig looks like this
As you can see there stands rt2870 and in the airmo-ng rt2500. But the device has the chipset rt3070.Quote:
root@bt:~# iwconfig ra0
ra0 RT2870 Wireless ESSID:"" Nickname:"RT2870STA"
Mode:Auto Frequency=2.412 GHz Bit Rate=1 Mb/s
RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off

Link Quality=10/100 Signal level:0 dBm Noise level:-95 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
After setting the device in monitor mode, it can't find any networks in range. Neither with airodump-ng ra0 nor with Wicd Network Manager.
So, what is the problem? Does backtrack4 pre final not support rt3070?
And how can we understand why there stands different chipset names in iwconfig and airmon-ng?
haven't installed any additional driver or changed anything in the system.
thanks for the answer

The Daily Caller's Terrible Holder Reporting... Continues
The Daily Caller's headline [1]: "Holder blames Americans for gun-running"
The Daily Caller's lede:
Attorney General Eric Holder scolded The Daily Caller's reporting on the Fast and Furious gun-running scandal shortly after government officials and reporters heard him admonish Americans for funding gun-runners.
What Holder actually said, as reported by the Daily Caller:
Holder appeared Tuesday at a White House event to showcase a new media campaign that is intended to stigmatize the selling and buying of knock-off videos and counterfeit fashion products.
Holder recorded one critical radio ad, which is titled "You can help." The clip was played to the audience in the White House auditorium.
"This is Attorney General Eric Holder. We are working hard to protect our communities by reducing gang violence and organized crime and there is an important and simple way that you can help. Some street gangs and organized crime groups are selling counterfeit products, such as fake watches, DVDs and purses, as an easy way to make money. And they use that money to fund other crimes, like trafficking in drugs and guns."
"When you buy knock-offs on the street or online, although it may not be obvious, you could be supporting gangs, putting money in their pockets and helping them to engage in other illegal activities that put our communities at risk," said Holder in the radio ad.
So an alternate, accurate headline would have been: "Holder asks Americans to help prevent gun-running." But that doesn't make the attorney general look bad. And it doesn't conform to the Daily Caller's editorial policy of manufacturing controversies [2] over Eric Holder and Fast and Furious.

Making a Federal Case Out of Jerusalem (COMMENTARY MAGAZINE) Rick Richman 03/29/12)
Source: http://www.commentarymagazine.com/2012/03/29/federal-case-out-of-jerusalem/
Commentary Magazine
Commentary Magazine Articles-Index-Top
Last year, I suggested there was no need for President Obama to make a federal case out of Menachem Zivotofskys request to have Israel designated on his passport as his place of birth, pursuant to a law giving Americans born in Jerusalem the right to that designation if they requested. My idea which I thought might resonate with Obama was to blame Bush!
Congress enacted the law in 2002; President Bush signed it, but said he would not enforce it; Obama had campaigned against Bushs many signing statements, saying a president generally had only two choices sign a bill or veto it; and Obama could have said he was simply faithfully executing a law his predecessor had signed. If he wanted, Obama could have done what President Clinton did regarding Taiwan: comply with the passport law while declaring American foreign policy remained unchanged. Case closed! But Obama proceeded to the Supreme Court, which ruled the issue can be adjudicated; and because the controversy continues, we may continue to be treated to colloquies like the one at the State Department yesterday.
States spokesperson was tortured with a series of questions about whether Jerusalem is part of Israel. Given the position the administration is still defending in court, she had to refuse to acknowledge even West Jerusalem (where Zivotofsky was born) as part of Israel. She thus repeatedly had to dodge the question, obviously acting on instructions to say only that Jerusalem is an issue to be resolved by negotiations. She gave the same answer to the question, What is the capital of Israel?
The reporter might have referenced the State Department website, which identifies Israels capital as Jerusalem (and says Israels area is 20,330 square kilometers, including Jerusalem); or the CIA website, which says the same thing; or the Department of Defense website, which is replete with references to Jerusalem, Israel including a picture of Secretary Gates and Prime Minister Netanyahu during a working lunch meeting in Jerusalem, Israel. But for the same reason the White House scrubbed its website of references to Vice President Biden in Jerusalem, Israel and scrubbed references even in Bush administration documents, the official policy had to be restated yesterday no matter how the question was asked.
This all could have been avoided if the White House had followed my advice last year; ended the charade about the city that has been Israels capital since 1950; and stopped fighting a nine-year old boys passport designation in the Supreme Court and beyond. Sometimes I think the White House doesnt read my posts.

Delete the two dots before IMAGES.
Thx...I tried that before I believe and just now and it didn't work.....
Try again. I made an error. The post has been edited. Sorry.
Still nothing...#Doh
This is the relative path to your images:
In a WP site, the "page" and the images folder are not usually (if ever) in the same folder.
Thanks, Ralph.
Ah, yes, WordPress uses URI paths for everything.
Well, what folder is the page and style sheet supposed to be in then? I have 4 sites and they all have the pages in the theme's name folder (i.e.
wp-content/themes/theme_name/index.php or header.php, etc.)
And the images folder is in the same same folder as the index.php file.
I feel like there is something missing here....
Forget about page location in WP, as pages are dynamically created and have no actual "location". If you want buttetproof image links, always use this on this particular site:
Note the / at the front. That way, the link will work from any part of the site, even in the stylesheet links.
If the path that Ralph posted began with a slash, it would be an absolute path and should work from either the css or index page.
Wooohoooo! Thx.
This worked,

Glad we could help.
There's a lot of argument over whether that should be called "absolute" or not, and these days I side with those who call it a "root relative" path, reserving "absolute" for the full URL (such as http://mysite.com/wp-content/themes/Newport_Sports_Club/IMAGES/sports-club.gif). Only the full URL is truly absolute, as it works from anywhere, whereas the root relative link is only absolute within the content of the site itself (it's not even absolute in relation to the server the site sits on). [/ot]
BTW - the reason the following code does not work is because of the leading slash.
<img src="/IMAGES/sports-club.gif"
dots, slashes and paths matter. See post # 2.
