Macy - from Mount Vernon, WA
What a great idea! The easiest way to do this is to make a copy of the page on a copy machine. The best part about that is that most machines will allow you to increase or decrease the size of the pattern to make is fit nicely on your cake. Then you can cut the copies apart to make the various colors. Or, simply lay the sheet on top of your rolled out fondant and trace the outline of the pattern with a toothpick – you should be able to see the markings on the soft fondant below. Then cut the fondant with the fondant cutter/embosser or a knife.

Working Parties and Working Groups of the IPA in North America
Inspired by the example of the Working Parties of the European Psychoanalytic Federation (EPF) in 2008, Working Parties were begun in North America under the auspices of the North American Psychoanalytic Confederation (NAPsaC). A Steering Committee was formed and in June 2008, two CCM workshops were held in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the American Psychoanalytic Association (APsaA) in Atlanta. In 2009, SPTT joined CCM in holding workshops at APsaA's Winter Meeting in New York. Experienced European moderators came to North America to lead workshops and North Americans attended European Working Party meetings to learn the methods. Each of the NA Working Parties held meetings in between the regional workshops, to review workshop findings, refine the methodologies, and advance the research projects. Ongoing collaboration with EPF and FEPAL sponsored Working Parties has been part of the process. In 2010 the annual Working Party meeting expanded to include the Working Party on Initiating Psychoanalysis and the Clinical Forum on Listening to Listening (CFO) along with CCM and SPTT. The workshops were held at Fordham University in New York. In April and October smaller meetings with CCM and SPTT workshops were held at the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis. North American Working Party members participated as organizers and moderators for the IPA Working Party pre-Congress beginning in Chicago and continuing in Mexico City and Prague. Findings from the research projects have begun to be returned to the larger psychoanalytic community through presentations and papers.
From 2011 on the Steering Committee has essentially functioned independently with continued grants from the IPA and much appreciated support from the Contemporary Freudian Society (CFS), the New York Psychoanalytic Institute & Society (NYPI&S), and the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis (SFCP). The Steering Committee meets regularly via phone conferences and has organized its own annual workshop conferences at NYPI&S in the winter of 2011, 2012, and 2013. An End of Training Working Party was formed in 2011 and all 4 North American Working Parties participated in these annual conferences with attendance ranging from 60 to 90. Each Working Party also holds its own separate moderator meetings during the year.
Initially the workshops were restricted to IPA members. Beginning at the IPA Congress in Chicago in 2009 each of the Working Parties (except End of Training) has included candidates in their groups with good results. The potential of holding working party groups specifically for candidates is being explored.
The CCM group in North America was started by Abbot Bronstein working with David Tuckett and Jorge Canestri in 2008 as part an IPA funded project to start Working Party Groups in North America. The first NA CCM groups were held in Atlanta as part of the APsaA meetings. Two Europeans moderated with NA group members and LA presenters. Since that time, CCM has run groups with NA moderators in New York, San Francisco and the Congresses in Chicago and Mexico City. Eventually CCM formed from members of the North American IPA groups a working party that has consisted of 9 members. As of now the group has 5 ongoing IPA analyst members and 5 consultants in North America with other consultants being engaged as needed for the projects. These consultants are temporary members of the working party itself.
The Working Party meets up to twice yearly in North America to discuss the cases presented in the clinical workshops in North America and the IPA meetings. These meetings both develop the method further but also clarify and develop papers and projects about analytic thinking. We have 25 North American cases under study at present. In addition NA CCM meets with the CCM chairs and working party members from the EPF and FEPAL regions in New York and Europe at EPF, APsaA and IPA meetings.
One paper has been presented on a panel in Mexico City at the IPA meetings and two other papers are being presented based on the findings at the IPA meetings in Prague in 2013. These papers have primarily been written by Abbot Bronstein (on the "here and now" and "analyst as object" )and Marie Rudden ("on uses of the concept of transference") with help from the consultants and other members of the working party. We are actively engaging in working with the Latin American and European CCM working party groups, attending meetings, co-moderating clinical groups and sharing of data, papers and ideas. Our effort is to have more inter regional cooperation and consultation for the CCM working party, now that it is established in all three regions of the IPA.
CCM has been designed to allow analysts, to talk across theoretical, linguistic and cultural boundaries. The Comparative Clinical Method starts with a prime assumption. The presenter in each group is a psychoanalyst who is presenting an analysis. The members of the groups have a work task: to understand how the presenting analyst works. The group attempts to discover both the explicit and implicit analytic theory and method of the presenting analyst. The presenter brings a brief background to the case and analytic sessions that represent their way of working with this patient. Over the two days of meetings the group begins discussion focusing directly on the presenter's way of working, first by considering the function and purpose of each "intervention" in depth (Step1). During Step 2, members of the group "construct" from their discussion of the clinical hours, a picture of the presenter's work. The group works on the analyst's "explanatory model": "how does this analyst explain the patient's difficulties"; "what are the analyst's ideas about how change takes place"; "how does the analyst think about the transference"; and "the dynamic unconscious as it comes into the session"; and "how does the analyst's way and manner of interventions further the analysis". In the process of discussion, each participant along with the presenter becomes clearer about how they and other analysts work in their consulting rooms. Participants must be psychoanalysts.

The WPETE is comparatively new in North America. With increasing appreciation of the unique aspects of this Working Party we have added "The Mind of the Supervisor: End of Training Working Party' to the title. Since our first meeting in New York City in 2011 led by Eike Hinze, we have held three meetings in 2012 and 2013.
In small groups, training analysts focus on understanding the mind of the supervisor as he or she evaluates a psychoanalytic candidate's progress toward becoming a psychoanalyst. A presenting analyst/supervisor provides clinical examples from his supervisory work with one or two candidates, if possible, from the supervisions of one candidate whom he or she perceives is ready to graduate, and one who is not yet ready. As the supervisory session and the supervisor's thinking come alive in the group, the participants consider how the presenter thought about the candidate's readiness to function as a graduate psychoanalyst. The presenter's criteria for his or her ideas about what good psychoanalytic work is, which may be implicit or "taken for granted", emerges in the group process. The task of the group members is to construct the presenter's model of evaluation of the candidate's progress and to test this construction with the presenter. The group asks such questions as, What is the presenter's view on the dynamics and psychopathology of the supervised case (conflicts, developmental deficits, trauma etc.)? What is the presenter's theory of psychic change, which guides his assessment of the candidate? (For example, what sorts of experiences does he think the candidate must help to facilitate in the patient?) How does the presenter/supervisor think about the candidate's work with the transference and countertransference etc.? How does the presenter think an analyst should listen to the patient's unconscious? Does the presenter have a theory of technique which guides how he or she thinks the candidate should intervene and interpret? The group will also have the opportunity to consider how an Institute's training program and culture (explicit and implicit) might influence the supervisor's work, and will discuss and compare subtle differences in training models to see how they might influence the supervisor's way of working with candidates. The group process as it examines the supervisor's mind is one of discovery.

This Working Party utilizes a method of working termed "Listening to Listening" created by Haydée Faimberg from her clinical concept, which uncovers how analysts listen to clinical material from an implicit basic assumption. This method permits each of the participants to begin to recognize their own basic assumptions and those of the other participants to understand how the presenting analyst works.'
While attempting to develop new ways to approach our discussion on clinical issues, it seems inevitable that at the same time we keep in mind as psychoanalysts our constructs (we cannot not have a theory). It would be an illusion to imagine that we fully understand the basic assumptions of the presenter (underlying his particular way of working) by translating into our own psychoanalytical language what the presenter is trying to convey. Each analyst/translator has his own basic assumptions with which he translates. It is part of our goals to understand the presenter's work; to recognize not only the presenter's clinical basic assumptions but also to recognize our assumptions as well. We shall try to understand from which theory we are listening to the Presenter as well as from which theory the Presenter is listening to his patient (and interpreting or not).
We explore the impact that the theoretical assumptions of each participant have on the discussion itself and we co-create a language. More often than we think clinical material is heard from one chosen implicit basic assumption (recognized or not). In this kind of dialogue we would be using the function of 'listening to listening', which I had initially limited to the psychoanalytical listening in the session: from the gap existing between what the participant thought he was saying and how he was actually heard the sources of misunderstanding might appear and we begin to recognize the basic assumptions of each participant. Thus, listening to misunderstanding is a valuable tool to discover different implicit basic assumptions.

WPIP holds small group clinical workshops to understand how analysts create a specifically psychoanalytic opportunity in preliminary interviews. The EPF Working Party on Initiating Psychoanalysis (WPIP) was set up in 2004 to develop expertise about how to begin psychoanalytic treatment and, in particular, how to convey to an unprepared patient the specific opportunity offered by the experience of psychoanalysis.
The North American Working Party for Initiating Psychoanalysis began in 2010 with Ted Jacobs as Chair and Nancy Wolf as co-chair. Members of the European WPIP, Bernard Reith, Chair, Elisabeth Skale, and Rudi Vermote have given generously of their time and experience to help us develop our Working Party. To date we have held 5 groups for IPA Members and candidates in North America. Participants have expressed appreciation for the close and intimate work, the opportunity to think with analysts of different theoretical perspectives, and for the depth of clinical thinking accomplished in the day. We feel Initiating Psychoanalysis is especially helpful for candidates and include a number in each of our groups.
The WPIP has launched a study to look at how this is done by experienced colleagues, using small group clinical workshops to explore preliminary interviews psychoanalytically and develop experience-near theories of their dynamics. This involves a case presentation followed first by a free-associating group discussion and then by a more focused and structured examination of the material. Participants find that they learn from the experience at the same time that they contribute to the collective project. This procedure has now been extended to include the study of preliminary interviews that did not lead to psychoanalysis, leading for example to psychotherapy or to no treatment at all. The workshops are not informed of the outcome beforehand and begin by working blind to the results of the interviews, to sharpen their exploration of the material and to see whether or not they can detect differences in the dynamics of preliminary consultations that lead to analysis and those that do not. Registered participants will be sent more detailed preparatory information about methods and procedures before the workshops.
Initially we adopted both the procedure and the research questions of the EPF WPIP. Their findings regarding the emotional storm that occurs in the first meetings impressed us and we wished to further research how potential analytic couples negotiate this turmoil. As our NA working party evolves we have begun to develop our own inquiry building on the work of the EPF WPIP
We are interested in the nature of the internal work of the analyst in the face of the "emotional storm" of the initial consultations. We are interested in discerning to what degree the elements of trust, curiosity, and openness are available to the initial analytic dyad. How and when fear and foreclosure override the openness required for emergent meaning. How the need for certainty in the midst of this turmoil can hamper the analyst's capacity for curiosity and lead to an authoritarian attitude. We are interested in when concrete elements such as "few resources" or "little time" are taken at face value and inhibit the psychoanalytic exploration, and how the analyst and patient can leave the field open to allow these possible resistances to be explored.
To further our inquiry we have developed some new questions for the group work. These questions allow us to focus on and investigate whether the analyst in an initial consultation with a particular patient can access what we think of as a reverie function. We are trying to both appreciate the human limits in play foreclosing evolutions of meaning, and yet, to become more aware of moments in the analyst when he or she can gain awareness of the patient's pain or emotion with sufficient openness and receptivity. We are interested to learn how both limitations and the receptivity of the analyst and the analytic couple impact the decision to begin a psychoanalytic endeavor. In our moderators meetings we have also been impressed by how the unconscious dynamics of the initial consultation cascade into the successive scenes of the workshop and then the moderators group. This is our research direction for the coming years.

The WPSPTT was formed in consultation with Serge Frisch and Evelyne Sechaud, Leopoldo Bleger, and the Paris Group. In 2009 a WPSPTT group was held at the winter meeting of the APsaA in New York. NA moderators have been guests in the Paris Group in order to study the work of the WPSPTT. Sechaud, Frisch and Philippe Valon have come to the North American Working Party meetings and worked in the groups several times. Interregional consultation and work with Europeans and Latin Americans has been invaluable and is still ongoing and necessary.
WPSPTT is a research method founded by Evelyne Sechaud, who developed the work of the clinical groups by widening the ideas of Johan Norman, Bjorn Salomonsson and Jean-Luc Donnet. The method is based on an analogical relation between the analytic sessions and their narration. The Working Party has found that owing to the associative thinking of analysts working together, the clinical research group functions as a magnifying echo of the transference-countertransference relation between patient and analyst. The small clinical groups are made up of 12 to 15 analysts from different analytic cultures working for a day and a half on the same clinical material. The presenter relates no more than necessary of the session content (speech, affects, and actions) without giving any indication concerning biography, the history of the analysis or the setting. He/she then remains silent without responding to the questions raised among the group. The fundamental rule of the group is to associate freely to the clinical material. The group thus 'constructs' the patient, each participant using his explicit and implicit theoretical references. Through the group work the gap between theory and practice (J.-L. Donnet) thus becomes reality and makes its exploration possible. The presenter then enters the discussion and lends his thoughts and feelings to the group work. This step enables the group to assess après-coup the constructions worked through during the preceding step.
In North America, the possibility that psychoanalytic work could be researched with a psychoanalytic methodology was and is still enormously well received, particularly by those analysts who want to study psychoanalytic work from a framework other than the quantitative methods that are well known to us but from other disciplines. The groups in the US have had analysts from as many as five regions, as well as from the US and Canada. Group members appreciate the depth and substance of the work, the take-away value of working with the methodology, and the unique value of the work for presenters regarding aspects of the transference countertransference and the reflective space of the analytic mind.
The moderator group, composed of H. Basseches, L. Johnson, and M. Mann, is eager to add Canadian, Korean, and Japanese analysts when possible, this international work being the target group for the original project.
Dedication to the tri regional goals of interregional work and regional research has been the focus of the WPSPTT. The research step is soon to be taken and has been in the wings due to limitations in funding and until the moderator group had enough group experience and material to begin to study the work. We hope to work with the Paris Group members as we take this step.
The group work experience has been positive and is said to be unique for analysts and candidates who participate and present and is consistently reviewed as useful in analytic work as well as important to deep immersion in clinical meetings with colleagues. Participants often express interest in the research findings in comparison with findings of the other regions. Presenters often find the work useful upon return to the consulting room. We now have a list of analysts asking to present material in the groups and invitations to talk about the project and hold groups from various analysts. We have also been contacted to discuss related methods that are being piloted around the country with the WPSPTT group work opening that discussion.
David Stevens, who is now the co-chair of the WPSPTT, (2013), has a special interest in Candidate-only groups. We have been interested in the benefit of the group experience both for experienced analysts and for Candidates.

David Stevens – North American Co-Chair.
In small groups (10 to 12) a clinical material is discussed for 12 hours using the Three-Level Model (3-LM) for Observing Patient Transformations, guiding the observation and discussion from 3 levels: 1) Phenomenological description of the analytical process; 2) The main dimensions of change; 3) The analyst's theoretical hypotheses about change.
Three different significant moments selected by the analysts are shown in the material and the group discusses changes (positive, or negative) occurred in the patient, or the absence of them, during the course of analysis. The presenter, the analyst, actively participates in the activity.
Clinical observations in these two or three points of reference should describe the clinical material in great detail including the context of the material (sessions or selected parts of the sessions, phase of the psychoanalysis, transference/countertransference reactions,etc) allowing the rest of the participants to follow the argumentation of the author as well as to build their own judgment concerning the transformation of the patient illustrated by the presented clinical material.
We intend to make a contribution to the improvement of clinical observations, its documentation and its communication in order to contribute to analytical work, as well as to the writing of clinical papers or other forms of sharing clinical insight. Listening and observing are fundamental aspects of our work. We need to work in this "second look" not only to discover the underlying unconscious processes but also to help the patient to find his own path that could help him to modify his present difficult situation.
An improvement of clinical observation needs steps in systematization
The term "transformation" is used here in its most common sense, meaning a change or a shift. Transformation processes can only be illustrated in a certain timeline and need at least two or three points of reference, related to the same similar dimension. A starting point (that could be placed in the assessment interviews, when the patient enacts his central unconscious fantasies and conflicts in the (transference-countertransference) relationship, in comparison with analogous detailed clinical observations in later sessions of the psychoanalysis.
Groups may include members and candidates.
The latest version of the model can be downloaded from the committee's Google Site https://sites.google.com/site/clinicalobservation/ where also an explanatory video can be found.
This committee pursues the aim of fostering the creation of groups in the different psychoanalytic societies which will work on the aspects highlighted by the model as a way of helping to improve psychoanalytic clinical observation, theory testing and therefore more effective psychoanalytic treatmentsThe committee provides support to all groups through e-mail and Skype when necessary.

New M3 owner with recent ED pictures
Just recently picked up a 2012 M3 in June. I can't stop grinning. After taking the delivery, I drove through
Grossglockner High Alpine Road in Austria
The Dolomites and Stelvio Pass in Italy
Umbrail Pass, Klausen Pass, and Susten Pass in Switzerland
Wonderful experience overall except for the screw-up that happened at BMW service centers in Germany, which caused me to miss out on driving on Nurburgring. Long story...
Hope you enjoy the pictures
congrats buddy. looks good
"which caused me to miss out on driving on Nurburgring. Long story..."
We have plenty of time here.
Like a lot of us here, buying an M3 and tour Europe in your brand spanking new M3 is a once in a lifetime experience. So, I carefully planned my trip. Knowing that I couldn't drive the M3 above 105 mph and 5500rpm in the first 1200 miles, I started off my trip touring Austria, Northern Italy and then Switzerland. I timed it perfectly that I'd need the first 1200 miles service at Stuttgart. After the service, I'd head up north to Nurburgring and drop it off in Amsterdam.
I made an appointment at 3:30pm on Friday. Took off really early from Switzerland with 1.5 hours padding for traffic. Well, I was stuck on the A8 freeway during rush hour with accident. So, by the time I arrived at the service center, I was 45 minutes. I was told I was too late and had to come back on Monday. I couldn't come back on Monday because I was flying back on Monday in Amsterdam. A simple "sorry" was all they had to say. After feeling like an abandoned child, my stomach started to churn a little bit. "****! Should have a plan B." was in my head. After begging and begging for forgiveness, the manager made a feeble attempt to ask if any mechanic would come in Saturday morning for an OT. Nope.
I had no phone there so I borrowed their phone to call BMW Roadside Assistant. BMW ED office was closed. The person on BMW Roadside Assistant was really courteous and really tried to help me. He called around BMW service centers around the Stuttgart area and found one that has a Saturday service. I was advised to show up at 9am in the morning on the next morning.
I drove an hour, burnt off 50 miles (way over the 1200miles mark already.) Waited for 30 minutes outside the service center for them to open. A really friendly mechanic showed up and started talking to me in really good English. I had a good feeling that it'd be a good day. After his boss showed up for work at 9am, he told me in German that they didn't have the engine oil and differential fluid for M3 because they don't see a lot of M3 in their area. Again, just a simple sorry from them. There was no attempt to help a stranded BMW customer. I begged for help again. I suggested that I could run to another place to buy the oil. They called the BMW in Stuttgart and they said they had the fluid for M3. I was sent immediately to this BMW service center, which is another 50 miles on the other side of city. When I showed up, I was refused service because it's by appointment only. I was furious by that point. Why on earth would they agree to service me on the phone and then refused to service me when I show up? Am I too ugly?
After I asked my German speaking friend to talk to them over the phone, it turned out that they only said they have the oil and never agreed to the other service center to take over my appointment. Oops...
Then, I decided to buy the motor oils even though they don't have the differential fluid in bottle. I figured that I should still get the engine oil changed and continue on my trip. I also asked all three service centers what are the consequence of not getting the 1200 miles service done and put on 500 more miles on it. They all consistently told me that it'd void the warranty.
After paying 225 EUR for 9L of Castrol oil, the other service center told me that they can't do it. I felt like a ping-pong ball being bounced away.
BMW Roadside Assistant told me there is a 24/7 BMW service center next to BMW Welt that can help. When I called, they told me that was rubblish. They closed at 1pm on Saturday. Too late for me to drive to Munich.
It was almost 1pm. I lost the battle. My alternatives was either (1) change my flight, really expensive option; (2) drive 240km to the Munich Airport and drop off the car early.
I decided to drive to Munich that afternoon. The drop-off location at Munich said there is a 50 EUR charge for after-hour drop-off. When I showed up, the lady apologized to me and said she was mistaken. The charge was 200 EUR.
You know how your dining experience would be destroyed if the dessert is bad? This is exactly what happened to me. I had a wonderful time in the other countries and my experience ended up with a bad dessert - skipping the highlight of my trip (driving in Nurburgring) sucks!
To sum it up:
Two Germans couldn't understand each other in German. One heard there was oil while the other said there was no oil.
Two Germans couldn't understand each other in German again. One heard "Sure we have the oil and would be happy to help" while the other said "We have the oil but piss off"
BMW Roadside Assistant has the wrong information.
When it comes to service level, "Not my problem" is kind of the impressive I got from the service personnel. I was treated rudely by the service manager in BMW Stuttgart. He just blatantly said "by appointment only" and walked away. Maybe the Audi people constantly make fun of him. :-)
I'm an idiot to make an appointment on Friday not knowing that German service center are mostly close on Saturday.
Lesson learned: have a plan B and don't make your 1200 miles service on Friday.
i see what you mean, long story and a very frustrating experience.
Been in Germany for 2 years and leaving to rotate back to states and can't wait. I miss the USA and its luxuries. If I want to go to a store past 4 pm I can. And everything is closed on weekends herein Germany and they usually open late take long lunch and close early so good luck getting anything done here ever. But look forward to being back in the comfort of the states. And those places you visited are so beautiful. At least you have your M3 so positives there
The German culture is not the same as the American culture. Their personal time is valued higher than money.
Schedules are to be on time without exception. Switzerland is more strict. I believe they might have frustrations with us for even requesting variences from the rule/scheduled appointment times.
I agree with having a plan B. Also we must realize the need to schedule extra time on the ED to avoid this type of dissapointments.
The good news is you have an M3 in good shape and experience no N-Ring incidents. There are stories like that too.
94 530i sold (That was difficult for me)
01 530i >144,500+ miles SOLD
06 330XI winter's especially fun drive (SOLD)
10 M3 Sedan (sweet)
13 Nissan GT-R Black Edition
14 Porsche Cayenne Platinum Diesel
15 Porsche GT3
16 Porsche GT4
Despite the hiccup, the overall experience is good. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I understand the value of personal time and I respect that because I value personal time as well. My main frustration was that they bounced me around between different service centers unnecessarily. I'd be more understanding if it was a language barrier, but they spoke German to each other on the phone. I had embraced what happened. Now, I just find it comical it happened that way. Lost in translation among Germans and it happened three times in a row with 24 hours. I really should buy a lottery ticket. All in all, I think it's a fun memory to have.
Also, it's a shame you were given incorrect information on the 1200 mile service. Missing it does NOT void the warranty or even come close. I didn't schedule mine at all during my trip on the advice of my SA at the local dealership and showed up back here nearly 1,000 miles over the recommended service mileage. Then again, I wasn't planning on taking my car on the Nordschliefe either. Shame to have missed the 'Ring experience, though. I did it on a previous trip and it's a bucket-list item for sure.
Congratulation on your obvious good taste regarding your choice of exterior color. However, we all know what an M3 looks like. Where's the picture of you with that silly grin at the Welt?

I love that color of blue! You'll enjoy the car long after you get home and your car is delivered! Sorry about missing the Nuremberg ring, though.

My best advice is to search the hardware compatibility list forums, and verify your hardware there. You might also check the BackTrack wiki for more info.
I'm no pro with computers, but I have been trying at this for 4 days. I've tried installing backtrack5 , r1, r2, I've downloaded and verified every file that you can download directly from the website. I've dried burning to a DVD, and running a live USB, I've tried 3 different USB thumb drives, all more than 8gb.
When I go into BIOS and select boot from CD or USB I get a menu that says UBUNTU at the top and it lets me select which mode to start in (forensics, text, etc.) I've selected every single option and it all leads to the same thing. BT5 starts booting up and all the text starts running down the screen. Then the screen goes black and then a glitchy, staticy type of image comes up. Like the white noise from a television except its completely frozen with some random purple lines and stuff. I don't have a chance to type in any commands or anything.
When this happens from a disc, the disc becomes unusable again. From a live usb, I can try as many times as I want but I just end up at the frozen screen. I have other live USB's that work just fine. I run tails 0.11 just fine from a live USB and a DVD. PLEASE HELP I'm going crazy!! Any answers are much appreciated, ask any questions you can too! Sorry if I left out important info.
The two attachments I added are the screen I get after I boot from USB in BIOS and the next screen with all the text. It wont let me upload the other picture of what it looks like when it crashes

If I could figure out how to scuba dive & hack at the same time, there would be nothing I couldn't do...
what is the specs of the system you are running? have you tried running a memtest? I had seriou sinstallation issues and it turned out my RAM was bust and corrupting everything
Sry sir.. It seems your prblem mybe can be solve if you use this software to make pendrive as bootable...
Try to use Usb Universal to boot your BT5.iso...
Here is the link ang tutorial...
Im just using this to make multiboot on my lenovo netbook.. and it seem no problem yet....
Im now can use Win 7 and BT52....
Just a little advise to all BT5 newbie like me..... ^^
I have just installed BT5r2 to my laptop and also hade some problems installing from an usb memory when it was formated with ext4 (or maby it was ext3). I solved that with formating the memory to fat32.
I blame my lack of English skills on my Swedish roots
I think i have exactly the same problem. I'm trying to boot through USB made with UNetbootin.
Right after the boot selection menu (e.g, the blue screen with the options) the screen goes black and artifacts appear (see IMG: WP_000234.jpg ).
I'm positive the USB works fine because my laptop booted with it flawlessly.
My system is:
i7 2600k 3.4Ghz 8mb
4GB DDR3 1600Mhz
Gigabyte Z68MA-D2H-B3 (1155 socket)
I couldn't find anything on the compatibility forum.
ANY help is appreciated.
edit: I've tried both KDE x64 and Gnome x64. Both BT5 (not R1/R2).
Also, it works on VM Ware (booting & installation).
Well, it seems to be a problem with video driver, specially with ATI HD series...In the forum there are some people with ATI HD series having the same problem...But with no luck so far..
Please, try Ctl+Alt+F2 and see if you can get access to the terminal (text mode)...
same thing happens with me except i get kicked back into a shell and presented an error code that says "(initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: invalid argument can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/caspert/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs
happens with both USB and DVD. tried different BT5 isos but not the R2. works fine in VMware.
Are you using 32 or 64 bit? I have that problem when running 64 bit even though the checksum verifies and also verifies when the burned DVD is read into a .iso. The 32 bit runs fine 9 out of 10 boot ups but 1 out of 10 I'll get the trashed screen you described. (I'm running BT5r1 on a Lenovo Thinkpad X120e.)
Please, use distro in 32-bit....Another thing, please, all people, do not format USB in ext4 or ext3 , if so, syslinux is located in a different place, and not in /syslinux..If formatted in fat16 or fat32, you will be able to boot and find syslinux in root....Again, if formatted in ext3 or ext4, google and see the difference in location of syslinux. You will have to mod a little bit some config files.
You may encounter problems with ATI HD series if that is your case. But try it (32-bit distro)..

LONG BEACH - One person was killed and five others were injured when the driver of a speeding SUV - possibly racing another vehicle - lost control of the vehicle and hit a center divider, causing it to flip several times, police said Sunday.
The crash occurred at 8:40 p.m. Saturday on Del Amo Boulevard east of Orange Avenue, said Long Beach police spokeswoman Nancy Pratt. Four of the six male passengers were ejected and one of them, Vernon Onofia, 29, of Long Beach, died at a hospital, Pratt said.
The two passengers trapped inside the SUV were extricated by Long Beach firefighters, she said.
Police investigators believe the driver was speeding eastbound on Del Amo when he lost control of the white, 2002 Chevy Suburban, struck the center divider and flipped the SUV several times before it landed in the eastbound lanes, Pratt said.
Witnesses said the SUV was possibly racing a four-door, dark-colored, newer model Infinity, possibly a G35, with tinted windows, driven by a man in his mid-30s. The Infinity stopped at the crash scene and then drove westbound on Del Amo and north on Orange Avenue, she said.
Detectives want to speak with the driver of the Infinity about what he saw.
Whether alcohol was a factor in the collision is under investigation, Pratt said.
All six occupants were transported to local hospitals with varying injuries. Two passengers were treated at a hospital and treated, while the driver and the other two passengers were admitted and listed in critical but stable condition, Pratt said.
Anyone with information about the accident - including the Infinity and/or its driver - should contact Long Beach Police Accident Investigation Detective Brian Watt at 562-570-7355. Anonymous tips can be made by calling 800-222-TIPS (8477), texting TIPLA plus the tip to 274637 (CRIMES) or visiting www.LACrimeStoppers.org.

Most family therapists inadvertently create more chaos through their well-intentioned efforts to assist a family move through a change process. Why? Brains are inherently deregulated (all of us, may I add) and most talking and dialoguing misses brain-centric problems that need more intensive help. Many times the emotional trauma created by years of solving problems ineffectively can wreak havoc on the brain's parasympathetic nervous system, not ever giving the family a break from flight or fight thinking.

I enjoy working with families and am comfortable with the challenge of seeing two or all members in a session. I invite collaboration as we create a treatment plan based on your goals, utilizing creation of a family map to identify coping patterns and especially the strengths of your family and of each member. I am always in awe of the courage of a family's willingness to seek help and I know that when just one member starts to change there will be change in the family. Staying the course with identifying strategies such as homework assignments, role playing and practice can lead to deeper understanding of what works to enhance intimacy skills and build resilience.

Trans Siberian Orchestra Tickets
With the mission to "push the rock opera music boundaries as far as possible," Paul O'Neil founded the famous rock opera band Tran-Siberian Orchestra in 1993. True to his word, O'Neil, along with his band members has managed to push the boundaries and inspire generations of rock opera fans with around seven million albums sold. Recently, Billboard Magazine labeled them as the "top touring band of the decade". They have been touring excessively for the past fifteen years, and the energy found in their concerts is incredible. If you are a rock opera fan, then this winter make sure you attend Trans-Siberian Orchestra's live concert when they arrive in your city. Keep a check on the Trans-Siberian Orchestra tickets.

Trans Siberian Orchestra Tickets
Trans-Siberian Orchestra got into the limelight when they started touring in 1999, after releasing their third rock opera that went by the name of "Beethoven's Last Night". Eight years later, they were titled as "a touring juggernaut" by The Washington Post. As was the dream of O'Neil when he formed the band, they were also compared to the famous names of the rock music history such as The Who and Pink Floyd. The band's musical style comprises of merging of several rock genres such as orchestral, classical and symphonic. They combine elements of heavy metal and hard rock as well.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra has brought to the fans rock operas series consisting of "Christmas Eve and Other Stories", "Beethoven's Last Night" and "The Lost Christmas Eve". The Lost Christmas Eve was the last in the trilogy and was released in October of 2004. The album was certified Gold in first two months and later multi-platinum. The first in the series, 'Christmas Eve and Other Stories' was released in 1996, and is till day the band's bestselling album. The sequel to this album was released by the name of "The Christmas Attic" two years later.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra's "Beethoven's Last Night" hit the shelves in 2000. Although it was recorded before The Christmas Attic, the band decided to hand it over to Atlantic Records for releasing in 1999. This rock opera revolves around the life of the famous musician Beethoven. The songs are full of twists in the tale and have kept the audiences mesmerized over the years. In 2012, its "Beethoven's Last Night: The Complete Narrated Version" was released as well. This was followed by yet another session of excessive touring.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra released "The Christmas Trilogy", the compilation of the three rock operas in 2005. This was followed by years of touring. Band's fifth album "Night Castle" finally came out in October of 2009 and received rave reviews from both the critics and the fans. The album debuted at number five spot on Billboard. In two months it was certified Gold by RIAA. It was titled as their "most ambitious" as well as their most "adventurous" work till day. Like all of their previous operas, this one was based on an intriguingly unique story as well.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra's "Dream of Fireflies" hit the market in October of 2012. It was an EP made up of five brand new songs by the band. The album got ninth spot in Top 200 Albums chart in Billboard Magazine. Unlike their previous albums based on lengthy stories, this album was more of a short story cluttered inside five songs. The band released its fifteen track new collection album by the name of "Tales of Winter: Selections from the TSO Rock Operas" in October of 2013. This included songs from all of the albums released in the past. The release was followed by the start of yet another tour which took the band all across North America. You can be a part of their upcoming concerts as well, as the TSO tickets are available online.

Biomass Replacing Coal
Commercial scale biomass cogeneration for a U.S. department of energy facility
The Situation
The U.S. Department of Energy's Savannah River Site requires the use of high pressure steam for vitrification.
The Problem
With a 1950s era coal-fired steam plant and funding constraints, SRS was not leading by example in the area of clean technology development and commercialization, despite more energy efficient technology and abundant renewable resources in the area.
|The Solution
Through an Energy Savings Performance Contract ("ESPC"), Hannon Armstrong provided $125 million to enable its client to install a biomass cogeneration facility capable of producing 240,000 pph of steam and 20 MWs of electricity, along with other energy upgrades.
The Benefit
SRS has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 100,000 tons per year by replacing substantial fossil fuel use with local biomass, all while reducing ongoing operating costs.

its not his fault, its apples
looks like a, you know, advertisment, which is, you know, against the rules, if you read them.
If you arent a bot, then its a forum...
the thing is..is not ve the most powerfull device is the OS that matters, i see a lot of tablets, phones to be realased talking about the specs 1 spec 2 bla bla but all die, apple can always release stuff with lower specs than the others but apple still wins...why???
stop working so hard in hardware, get your OS better ---> RIM
it's is only own RIM's fault, Blackberry's are always stucking, freezing, the parts are always needing repair, in the store where I work, most of customer who bring a blackberry look for repair not for service, my boss just got the third blackberry in less than 10 months, and know what? it already came with problem, phone is not charging...
blackberry should improve their phones in quality and their software in stability
Most of the people that I know who owns a Blackberry love it at the first days, but most of them never bought a second one, they changed to another and are much more happy
If it wasn't for BBM, BB would be dead as I see more kids with BB's just because of BBM but now that iPhone will have iMessage built in and no need for apps from App Store like Whats App, BB is pretty much dead now.
Switch to Android and put your apps on a Android ROM on a BB to keep in the mobile race.
iOS and Android!
RIM have been kept afloat by he US Govt. - Now they are moving to iPhones (despite security concerns?) RIM are struggling.
The main concern apart from lack of US Govt. support, is lack of new devices and an old OS - so laying off the design team is a great idea...
BBM is popular in some sections of society - but not ones that actually influence anything. iMessenger will erode that market but that is the least of RIM's worries!
I couldn't agree more... iOS is just extremely user friendly. Plain and simple. They got me on the phone when the 3G came out and I got an iPad for father's day.
I have been given several free iPhone replacements from Apple and the customer service has been unlike anything else.
(Phones that I got off Craigslist! Not even purchased by me! I dropped an iPhone 4 and shattered the screen, went in and walked out with a brand new iPhone 4 free of charge)
After installing OSx Snow Leopard on my bone stock HP Pavilion, my next purchase will be a MacBook Pro.
I had a Storm for 2.5 years and it was horrid the entire time, other than the first day with all the bells and whistles my other phone had prior to the storm. I held out for the iPhone to be released on Verizon before getting a new phone. They are definitely like night and day, BB's are garbage in comparison. Not only is the OS better, the hardware is no comparison.
I have gone from miserable with my phone, to loving it!

TARRYTOWN, N.Y. -- Westchester County Executive and Republican gubernatorial hopeful Rob Astorino said he was the victim of a seating snub at President Barack Obama's speech in Tarrytown and that Gov. Andrew Cuomo's camp is to blame, according to LoHud.com.
Astorino's senior adviser Phil Oliva said he witnessed one of Cuomo's staffers interfering with someone from the White House. Astorino ended up watching the speech with fellow Republican and Rockland County Executive Ed Day from the back, LoHud.com said.
Cuomo's spokesperson denied any hand in the incident, LoHud.com reported.

Imagine Dragons break Hot 100 longevity record
Listen to Imagine Dragons on iHeartRadio
Imagine Dragons are now on their own when it comes to Hot 100 longevity.
"Billboard" says the Las Vegas rockers' hit "Radioactive" is on the chart for a record 77th consecutive week, breaking the tie it was in last week with the previous record-holder, Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours."
Frontman Dan Reynolds says the news is "unbelievable," admitting that he and his bandmates never expected one of their songs to "have legs like this."
Reynolds adds that there are few things more satisfying than seeing your music have longevity. He says people seem to be connecting to "Radioactive" in personal ways, which is exactly what they wanted.

I just read something interesting from Mike Preston (Baltimore Sun Website - Q&A with The Sun's Mike Preston). Preston said that:
"The Ravens would like to re-sign Baxter as a safety to replace Will Demps, and then pursue Washington cornerback Fred Smoot through free agency."
I think Baxter can be a top corner with a bit more development, and I think we should re-sign him to play there.
I just found this rumour interesting, especially if there's some basis to it. He also said that this could be a problem in re-signing Baxter, because Baltimore would be offering less money (safeties get less than corners), and Baxter would want to play corner, with cornerback money to go with it.

i have also heard this rumor. I considered the idea of switch baxter to FS myself, when i thought about the ravens drafting a CB in the first round. However i did not hear about the Ravens being interested in Fred Smoot. That story is certainly interesting. Baxter did play a lot of safety in college and has the size to do it, however i think he is just starting to grasp the full concept of CB in the NFL and im not sure what a move to safety would do to him. Thats also a good point about the money though.

What do you think of Smoot? I think he's a pretty good corner, comparing him and Baxter is a bit like apples and oranges though. It just depends what you like in cornerbacks.
I think I prefer Baxter at corner rather than safety. He's especially good covering the slot, in our nickel package, cause he's solid against the run and can blitz effectively.

Smoot is definetly a great corner. Your right about comparing Smoot and Baxter to apples and oranges, they both have unique stenghts and weaknesses. I also agree that Baxter would be better off staying at corner. Fred Smoot is an excellent shutdown corner and has great speed and awarness. Im just not sure him coming to Baltimore and baxter moving to safety would be that great for us, but who knows...

There was an article today that stated Baxter is likely to resign and Baxter said he will not go back to safety so Smoot will likely not be coming to the Ravens.

Well acording to the articles i've read the Ravens have offered Baxter a 10 mil signing bonus (didn't say for how many years though) to be a safety. And Baxter haven't accepted it yet but wants to see what he could get in FA. I personally think Baxter could be a great FS but is only average at CB so i think the FO is doing the right thing. And if someone will give him a better deal the Ravens are better off letting him go. There's some good depth at CB both in FA and in the draft.

swedishraven- can you post a link to where you saw that or tell me what magazine/newspaper if possible you saw that on? i would be very intested. if your right about baxter being a great at FS, then we should defiently draft a CB first round, unless we sign a guy like smoot which would be even more amazing. Either way, if baxter turns out to be a good FS, and we could draft carlos rogers could you imagine mcallister, rogers, baxter, and reed in the secondary with Demps, Chad Williams and Primetime as the primary backups?!

thanks, thats interesting stuff. i looked at the Q&A link on that site and apparently the writer thinks that it might not be 100% correct because 10mil is alot for a 2nd CB. Apparently he thinks the offer isnt the issue but rather a potential move to FS which i guess baxter wouldnt like.

I think where he plays is the biggest issue for Baxter.
Like Swedishraven said, there's a lot of depth at cornerback in the free agency market this year, so that will be a factor for Baltimore as well. Guys like Fred Smoot, Andre Dyson, Anthony Henry, Ken Lucas and Charles Woodson are all unrestricted.
Here's a hypothetical question. If you could choose any corner in the league to be a Raven who would you choose?
I'd pick Dunta Robinson from the Texans. He has excellent technique in coverage, but hes also a great all-around defender who's terrific against the run. Soon he'll be one of top 2 or 3 cornerbacks in the NFL. His physical approach makes him a perfect fit for the Raven's defence.

Update on Baxter:
Looks like Baxter says that he is "optimistic" about rejoining the Ravens however, the baltimore sun says that baxter and the ravens agree that baxter will remain a CB if he is resigned.

I was listening to 1570 wnst and they say that an anonymous team source has said that if the team cannot keep Baxter, the Ravens would make a strong effort to bring in Redskins CB Fred Smoot to be the replacement.

Marcus Trufant and Antoine Winfield are two guys I like. Trufant had some games where he didn't play well but the guy has top-notch instincts and can play off a receiver because he can close faster than most guys.
One of the most underrated players in the game would have to be Asante Samuel. You never hear him named as one of the Pat's players. But the guy gets it done.

Yeah, Samuel is a guy that gets no recognition. Both he and Randall Gay played well against some top receivers. I like Samuel but I don't know how he'd fit in Baltimore.
Someone like Shawn Springs would be a good corner for the Ravens. But only if he really is as good as he played last season with the Redskins. I think Springs has better physical skills than Champ Bailey, the problem always used to be that he never produced. But not that many guys ever have in the Seahawk's defence maybe that was the problem?

National Geographic Does 9/11: Another Icon Debased in Service of the Big Lie
by Jim Hoffman
By now it's quite predictable: every year as the anniversary of the attack approaches, some of the most established mainstream media brands are pressed into service to sell the official story of 9/11.
The 2009 iteration of this spectacle is notable for the contrast between the designated brand and the obligatory message. That brand, best known for its high-brow photojournalistic National Geographic Magazine, has existed since 1889, complete with a non-profit Society dedicated to education in geography, archaeology, history, world cultures, and natural science. One can't help but wonder how National Geographic's many benefactors would feel if they understood how the brand was being used to prop up the "War on Terror" with its Popular-Mechanics-style attack piece to be aired on August 31, 2009.
A web feature on the website of the National Geographic Channel provides a preview of the show and a window into the methods and goals of the show's producers. Those methods are so heavy-handed that the critical reader can't help but see that those goals are something very different from educating. As an exercise, the reader might want to read the one-page feature first, and then compare notes with my analysis of it below.
National Geographic Then and Now
The 2009 documentary isn't the first time the National Geographic brand has been used to rubber-stamp the official account of the attack. On September 17, 2001 an article in National Geographic News attempted to explain the "collapses" with such memetic devices mouthed by "experts" as "the raging inferno" (likened to a fraction of the Hiroshima A-bomb) turning the steel to "Play-doh" and precipitating a "domino collapse" in which "the buildings' majesty was their own undoing".
As unscientific as these purported explanations are, with their transparent appeals to authority and metaphor, one might excuse them as the attempt of a journalist to make sense of the horrific events at a time when rational analysis was eclipsed by shock.
Clearly, something very different is at work in the 2009 effort, a fact that is apparent even in its lurid graphical production reminiscent of the BBC's Conspiracy FIles.
Deconstructing "9/11: SCIENCE AND CONSPIRACY"
Below is the text of the page tabbed "Science" in the 2009 National Geographic Channel feature promoting its "documentary" 9/11: SCIENCE AND CONSPIRACY. Added comments follow each of its points.
Although I show that every point in the page appears crafted to mislead the reader about a particular issue, the greater misdirection lies in how the article frames the broad subject of the official account of 9/11 and challenges to it.
First, the article gives no sense of the scope of those challenges, such as is readily surmised by an enumeration of outstanding anomalies in the official account. In other words, the article implies by omission that it has disposed of the only problems with the official account.
Second, the article selects exactly two prominent assertions countering the official story:
The placement of these two assertions on par with each other illustrates a key technique of disinformation in which a well supported theory is paired with a poorly supported one in order to discredit the former. 9-11 Research has made the case since 2003 that the Twin Towers and Building 7 were subjected to controlled demolitions and since 2004 that the vigorously promoted theories that a jetliner couldn't have hit the Pentagon were likely designed to discredit the truth movement.
Third, the article uses labels to flog its target in an obvious appeal to prejudice. The "Conspiracy" label prefaces each target claim, regardless of whether the claim implies a conspiracy or how any implied conspiracy compares to the officially theorized conspiracy. Conversely, the "Science" label prefaces each paragraph allegedly debunking the "conspiracy" claim.
Of course, "Scientists" only support the official story, and only "truthers" question that story. How comforting that the world is so simple!
Apart from insulting the reader with such patronizing language, the article also uses language more subtly, presupposing the official conclusion with repeated use of "collapse" while avoiding imagery of the Towers' destruction that better fits the word "explosion".
Conspiracy theories are put to the test. How well do they stand up against the visual simulations of professional engineers? See how science supports official stories and debunks the conspiracies below.
Official Story: The collapse was caused by fire initially fed
by the jet fuel from the planes.
Contrary to what the article implies, the
Purdue simulation
was designed only to create a realistic visualization of the
767 colliding with the Tower, not to assess structural damage
or model how it supposedly led to the total destruction of the building
102 minutes later.
Conspiracy: The fire could not have gotten hot enough to melt the steel.
The fire-melting-steel claim was
introduced by apologists for the official story,
and has been used repeatedly as a straw man claim
to disingenuously attack critics of that story.
Conspiracy: The collapse was caused by controlled demolition.
Contrary to the assertion that "no such traces were found", the
reports of molten metal
at Ground Zero are numerous, and are corroborated by
extreme temperatures in the rubble persisting for months, and
particles of condensed metal aerosols
in the dust -- a signature residue of nano-thermitic pyrotechnics.
Conspiracy: Thermite, which is less traceable,
was used in the controlled demolition that brought down the towers.
First, it was Scientists who documented unignited
thermitic pyrotechnics in the dust,
and reported it in the scientific paper
summarized here
-- a paper whose conclusions have yet to be challenged with
any substantial critique, much less a scientific one.
Official Story: Hijackers caused a commercial airplane to crash
into the building.
The poor quality of the Purdue simulation may be one of the factors in fueling the no-crash theory, one that is more persuasively refuted by analysis of a variety of features of the crash site.
Conspiracy: The Pentagon was either bombed or hit by a missile.
So EMRTC couldn't figure out how the Twin Towers could have been demolished with aluminothermics, but it could devise an experiment to show how explosives could obliterate parts of the Pentagon.
It's interesting that the article cites alleged experiments by EMRTC (The Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center) to support most of its "Science" points.
One prior connection between EMRTC and 9/11 is that explosives expert Van Romero, who gained some notoriety with his initial candid observations that there must have been explosives in the Towers, was Director of the EMRTC from 1995-1997, a period of active research into the kind of nanocomposite explosives found in the WTC dust. Romero appears to have been rewarded handsomely for retracting those observations.
Whatever role EMRTC may have had in the development of advanced energetic materials such as found in the WTC dust, it is clear that there are numerous connections between these weapons technologies and the authors of the official reports certifying the collapse theory -- connections that are all the more interesting when one considers the refusals of the same authors to test for residues of explosives.
The Opposite of Education
I'm confident that the producers of this article and its sequels will carefully shield the reader from the above-mentioned scientific paper Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe, from the Journal of 9/11 Studies, from any meaningful critique of NIST, and from anything else that would dispel the fiction that the official story equates with science.
Why am I confident of this? Apart from the obvious construction of the web feature as propaganda, the show's producer, Robert Erickson, was making excuses for not covering the subject of nano-composite explosives and their development in US government labs in private communications before the show aired. The matter of what the show's producers knew and when they knew it is the focus of Kevin Ryan's essay Finally, an Apology From the National Geographic Channel.
