"My job is one of the most creative and expressive things I can imagine doing. . . . I love making things look beautiful."–Lizzy Rockwell
Lizzy Rockwell illustrations have been seen in magazines, on book jackets, and in children's books for many years. She studied art at the School of Visual Arts in New York City and has taught illustration there. Lizzy is also the author and illustrator of Good Enough to Eat: A Kid's Guide to Food and Nutrition, Hello Baby!, and The Busy Body Book: A Kid's Guide to Fitness.
How do you illustrate a picture book?
First I read the manuscript, which is the story before it is made into a book. Then I make small thumbnail sketches to help me figure out what I will draw on each page. This helps me to get the picture that is inside my head onto paper as quickly and directly as possible.
I then make a 32-page dummy by folding and stapling together eight large sheets of paper. Next, I trim the paper to be the actual size of the book. In my dummy I tape the words into place and then draw the pictures. I don't worry about it being messy because the dummy is a good place for me to make mistakes and solve problems.
After the dummy is looked at by the editor and art director at the publishing company, and changes are suggested, I start to make finished artwork. I draw on see-through tracing paper so that I am free to make more mistakes and corrections. When my drawing is perfect, I trace it onto watercolor paper using a lightbox. Now I work very carefully and slowly so that I don't make any mistakes as I color in the pictures. I use opaque watercolor paints called gouache and colored pencils. I put down flat areas of color and then give them details with colored pencil. This takes a long time, but is fun. When I have finished every picture in the book, which takes several months, I deliver them to the publisher so that they can have the book printed and bound together and sent off to book stores.
Where do you work?
I have a studio in town near my home in Norwalk, CT. My studio has two drawing tables, a flat shelving unit where I store my pads, papers and all artwork in progress, and lots of book shelves. I also have a CD player, a copier, a fax machine, an electric pencil sharpener, special lamps, my lightbox, and a file cabinet. My art supplies are stored on the various shelves in the room. The computer that I use to write is in the living room of my home.
Who is Anne Rockwell?
You will notice that Anne Rockwell is the author of many of the books that I have illustrated. She is also my mother! She has been writing and illustrating children's books since I was born. She has published books on many different subjects, ranging from Greek myths to fire engines, original stories to historical biographies, and she is working on several more at this moment. When my father, Harlow Rockwell, was alive he was an illustrator also. He and my mother collaborated on many wonderful books for children. Now I have the privilege of carrying on that family tradition.
Where did you learn to be an illustrator?
I probably learned most of what I know about being an illustrator from my parents. Their studio was in our house and I could always look in on them and see what they were working on. There were plenty of art materials around the house and my brother, sister, and I were always encouraged to be creative and to express our ideas. When I grew older, my mom taught me a lot about making a dummy and telling a story with pictures. My dad taught me a lot about drawing and painting. I also learned from my teachers in public school, college, and art school. I love to study pictures in my favorite children's books, the great paintings made by artists throughout history, and drawings by children. My sons Nigel and Nicholas are both amazing artists and I love to look at their pictures and learn from them.
How long have you been an artist?
I have been an artist all my life, but I have been an illustrator since the 1980s. I illustrated my first children's book in 1989. That book is called Apples and Pumpkins. It was written by my mother and is about visiting a farm to pick apples and pumpkins, which was an outing I took with my family every fall as a child.
Where do you get your ideas?
I get a lot of ideas from my two children, Nicholas and Nigel, by seeing what they are interested in and how they learn. I spend time with school children because I am a parent, but I also visit classrooms as an author/illustrator and I volunteer as a classroom helper at a local preschool. I try to see the world through a child's eyes. I appreciate how fascinating the world looks to them; that everything is new and worth learning more about. I like to write about things that are interesting and hard to explain, like how the body works in Good Enough to Eat and The Busy Body Book or what a young child might wonder about when his mother is pregnant in Hello Baby!.
I notice that most of my ideas and solutions come to me when I am just falling asleep or just waking up. Driving in the car is also a good place for getting ideas. Sometimes sitting down and staring at a blank piece of paper is the worst way to get an idea.
What do you like best about your job?
My job is one of the most creative and expressive things I can imagine doing. I love carrying on my parent's tradition in children's books. I love the challenge of coming up with solutions to problems. I love doing the research involved in making pictures and writing books. I love making things look beautiful. I love the fact that my work is worthwhile and makes a difference in the lives of children.
I am also grateful that I have a job which allows me so much time with my family. I get to see my boys when they come home from school.
What else do you like to do?
I like to be with my husband and boys, cook dinners for lots of people, tend to my garden, go camping, read, walk my dog in the woods, look for seashells, paddle a kayak, listen to music, talk to my friends, make jokes, watch movies, watch birds, make cakes, practice yoga, visit family, celebrate holidays, go to museums, and see new places. It does seem as though there's never enough time in a day or a year to do all the things I like to do!
"The artwork really shines, as Rock-well captures both the skinny helplessness and surprising individuality of a newborn. Readers who have already welcomed a new baby into their home will enjoy remembering the events portrayed here while future siblings will gain insight into what's in store for them."–School Library Journal, Starred
"In a refreshing departure from other books about siblings . . . the approach of this text is optimistic, reflected in Rockwell's bright, cheerful illustrations. An upbeat, encouraging account."–Kirkus Reviews
"Rockwell integrates a factual approach and a down-home quality. . . . Emphasis and proportion accurately reflect a happy child's point of view."–Publishers Weekly

First of all, you speak of truecrypt encrypting your BT5 installation, which is not possible.
You can achieve a full-disk-encryption dual-boot, but not with just Truecrypt.
The idea is simple:
Both operating systems are encrypted, with the truecrypt bootloader in the MBR of the bootdisk
and the BT bootloader in the MBR of the second HDD.
This is how you do it:
You install W7 (already did), then you install Truecrypt and encrypt your whole drive.
Make sure Truecrypt installs its bootloader in the MBR of the bootdisk (the disk
you are going to install windows on).
During this process, you will have to reboot and test the bootloader,
in order to make sure it is all working. After this, truecrypt can begin the actual encryption
(which takes long!). You might want to wait with this,
because it takes very long and you will have to do it again if you screwup during
the process of installing BT, so just leave it unencrypted (note that the bootloader
is already installed in the MBR).
Now, you boot your BT stick.
Partition your second disk.
I like fdisk but you can also apt-get install gparted,
so that you have a graphical interface for the partitioning of your drive.
You need two partitions, a boot partition and a root partition.
Make your boot partition at least 200 Mb (I've had problems with this,
so I always make my boot partition 512Mb) and leave the rest for the root partition.
Install the needed programs for the encryption:
apt-get install hashalot
The next step is very important and should be executed
very carefully!
"cryptsetup -y --cipher aes-xts-plain --key-size 512 luksFormat /dev/sdXY",
where X stands for your drive letter, and Y stands for the partition number.
Be carefull with this because you can mess up your windows installation!
You'll have to check which is the drive for your BT installation.
Use the tool you like to check which letter stands for your drive.
If all went ok, you should have four partitions:
- 100Mb W7 boot partition
- Rest of the disk W7 root partition
- 512Mb BT boot partition
- Rest of the disk BT root partition
Execute the command and type in your desired password twice.
Now execute this command to open your newly created encrypted partition:
"cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdXY pvcrypt"
Execute these commands:
"pvcreate /dev/mapper/pvcrypt"
"vgcreate vg /dev/mapper/pvcrypt"
Now, in order to create a (encrypted) swap partition,
execute the following command:
"lvcreate -n swap -L XG vg",
where the X stands for the amount of gigabytes for
your swap partition (use the amount of ram you have).
Execute the following command to create the root partition
inside the encrypted partition, next to the swap partition:
"lvcreate -n root -l 100%FREE vg"
"mkswap /dev/mapper/vg-swap"
"mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/vg-root"
Finally, ready to install BT to the created partitions.
Click on install.sh on your desktop.
Proceed with the installer until it says
"Prepare disk space"
Select manually.
Select the first partition of the drive (/dev/sdX1)
and make it ext4, let it be formatted and set mount point: /boot
Select "/dev/mapper/vg-root", make it ext4, let it be formatted en set mount point: /
Select "/dev/mapper/vg-swap", make it swap (should be already, but just to make sure).
Click forward and then advanced (VERY IMPORTANT).
Select the second drive (/dev/sdX) and let the BT's bootloader get installed.
Click install and wait.
Click "Continue testing".
Execute (in the SAME terminal):
mkdir /mnt/backtrack5
mount /dev/mapper/vg-root /mnt/backtrack5
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/backtrack5/boot
chroot /mnt/backtrack5
mount -t proc proc /proc
mount -t sysfs sys /sys
apt-get update
apt-get install hashalot lvm2
vi /etc/crypttab
You are now editing a file.
Add the following:
pvcrypt /dev/sdX2 none luks
/dev/sdX2 should be the encrypted partition (you created
with this command: cryptsetup -y --cipher aes-xts-plain --key-size 512 luksFormat /dev/sdXY)
Quit vi (:wq) and execute:
vi /etc/fstab
Change te line about the root partition (the only line with "/" in it. NOT /boot!),
make it: "/dev/mapper/vg-root / ext4 defaults 0 1"
cd ~
wget http://www.infosecramblings.com/cryptroot.patch
patch -u /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/cryptroot ./cryptroot.patch
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
update-initramfs -k all -u
This is it, you are ready!
Execute "reboot" and watch the magic!
Select ESC at the truecrypt bootloader
to boot BT and type your password at the truecrypt
bootloader to boot W7.
Good luck,
if you have further questions, I am glad to help you.

Pretty Little Liars– yes, that Pretty Little Liars, the one on ABC Family with the ads that looked like it was a show about undead prom queens– is, at least kinda, doing teen sexuality right.
I'm just as surprised as you are. This is a show that looked dumb, sounded dumb, and, honestly, is pretty dumb. But I like how they're handling teen girls' sexuality on the show, even though I still can't quite openly admit that I watch it.
First off, lemme lay down the nitty-gritty of the show: queen bee Allison mysteriously disappears, leaving her four BFFs like "WTF?" Flash-forward a year later, and the BFFs are, respectively: 1.) returning from Iceland, 2.) athletic, 3.) …

Bristol, Va. - After jumping out to a 26-5 lead, the Brevard College women's basketball team had to rely on clutch free throws down the stretch by Anna Schlobohm to complete the season sweep against Virginia Intermont College on Tuesday afternoon, 66-59.
The Tornados improve to 3-5, 0-1 in the SAC on the season, while the Lady Cobras fall to 2-11 on the year.
Virginia Intermont got on the board first in the 18:08 mark when Michelle Shockley made a layup, but Brevard tied the game up with a jumper by Schlobohm. After the teams traded three-pointers, the Tornados held the Lady Cobras scoreless over the next 6:35 as they went on a 21-0 run behind the inside play of Amanda Whitaker and Millie Wharton converting all four of her free throw attempts. Shockley finally broke the cold spell with a layup with 9:05 left in the first half.
Virginia Intermont would bring the game back within single digits just before halftime, before Samantha Winn put in a layup with seconds left in the clock to put the lead back to 11 as the Tornados headed to the locker room with a 35-24 lead.
The Tornados used full court pressure to hold the Lady Cobras to 27.6 percent (8-29), while Brevard shot 41.4 percent (12-29) in building their halftime lead.
Whitaker led all players with 13 points in the first half on 5-7 shooting, while Shockley led the Lady Cobras with nine points.
In the second half, the Lady Cobras continued to rally, bringing the game back within single digits, but were constantly rebuffed by three-pointers by Holli Flippo and Winn.
With five minutes to go, Nicole Collins brought Virginia Intermont back within single digits for good as she hit a layup and completed the three-point play to put the game at 60-51.
Brevard's lead would shrink to four points with 30 seconds left in the game. Whitaker was fouled and sent to the line, but failed to convert, however the offensive rebound went to Schlobohm who went to the line with the score 63-59.
Schlobohm was able to convert one of the two free throws, then after a Virginia Intermont turnover, Schlobohm again went to the line and clinched the game with two free throws to seal the season sweep with the score 66-59.
The Tornados shot 37.5 percent (21-58) from the field for the game, while Virginia Intermont shot 33.9 percent (21-62). The difference of the game came from the free throw line as the Tornados shot 16-25 (64 percent) from the charity stripe, while the Lady Cobras finished up the game going 13-23 (56.5 percent) from the line.
Whitaker led the Tornados in recording her third double-double of the season with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Schlobohm scored 12 points for the game, and Wharton scored double figures for the first time this season with 11 points.
Shockley led all scorers with 18 points, and Collins added 13 points and eight rebounds in 17 minutes of playing time.
Brevard heads home to Boshamer Gymnasium for the first time in a month on Saturday, December 30th, as they host Mars Hill College. Tip-off for the Tornados second conference game of the season is scheduled for 2 p.m. Virginia Intermont stays at home as they play next Tuesday, January 5th, with a start time of 5:30 p.m.

transcript:
Driven by their migration, the herd crosses the river's edge.
When the pressure mounts from the herd pushing from the back, the ones in front are forced into the river.
It's like a dam break.
And the croc has its pick of prey.
It has up to 68 pointed teeth that it uses to catch and latch onto its prey.
But it can't tear and chew its meal.
Instead, it thrashes and spins to rip apart pieces.
Then swallows the pieces whole.
When the rains come and the river isn't the only source of water, easy kills become rare.
But the croc has one more trick.
It can slow down its own metabolism, so when food is scarce, it can fast for months.

Michael Jackson tops dead celebrity earners
Listen to Michael Jackson on iHeartRadio
The late King of Pop reigns supreme as a top earner for 2013.
"Forbes" says Michael Jackson earned an estimated $160 million over the past year to top its new list of wealthy dead celebrities. That's $35 million more than Madonna made as "Forbes'" top living celebrity, and almost triple the earnings of the next dead celeb on the list, Elvis Presley, who pulled in $55 million over the past year.
According to "Forbes" most of Jackson's money was earned through two highly successful Cirque du Soleil tribute shows.
The singer's music and the Jackson estate's part ownership of the Sony-ATV catalog also helped him amass millions beyond the grave.
Third on the list is late "Peanuts" cartoonist Charles M. Schulz with $37 million in posthumous earnings, followed by last year's top earner on the dead celebrity earnings list - Elizabeth Taylor - who amassed $25 million over the past year. Reggae legend Bob Marley is fifth with $18 million in earnings.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
The intentions of Tuscan Steak should be obvious: That T-bone is meant to feed a family. Likewise that serving of three-mushroom risotto with truffle oil, or the herb-grilled rack of lamb with the green apple-basil chutney, or the oven-roasted duck with cranberry chutney. Prices indicate the restaurant's philosophy, as does the credo written on the menu: "At Tuscan Steak all portions are served family style and [are] intended for sharing." But note that the intro also allows that in this eatery, "there are no rules." In other words who says you have to share? So go ahead -- dine singly, order doubly, and make a pig (or a duck or a steak) of yourself.
Oh, we know the myth. The best hamburgers are made from ground chuck, because the meat has more fat in it. The fat then prevents the burger from shrinking into a McDonald's-esque disk while cooking. Well, baloney. At the downtown location of Morton's, the hamburger is a full eight ounces of lean ground sirloin. Hard to feel guilty eating that. And it's just about the juiciest thing we've encountered outside the Chris Paciello story. The single drawback? The burger is served only during the noontime meal. Still, order with a side of lyonnaise taters, and that's what we call a power lunch.
This converted no-tell motel on South Dixie is painted a really disgusting shade of green; a more reliable harbinger of the food within can be seen in the clusters of patrons on the benches outside the front door, eagerly awaiting their tables. Inside it's long and narrow, with a boxcarlike feel, but the friendly service and the pungent scent of Thai basil, fish sauce, and chili paste more than compensate for the cramped quarters. A Thai restaurant is only as good as its pad thai, and this one kills: a light hand with the ground pork, and it actually has plenty of shrimp! The rich curries are excellent, as are appetizers like tiger tear and nam sod. The chefs also show a deft touch with seafood; if you find a restaurant of any ethnic description that can cook up a tastier whole snapper, let us know. And if you like your Thai food with plenty of fire, you'll be pleased to know Siam Lotus Room actually takes you at your word when you ask for "four stars" of spiciness. Ouch! Hurts so good.
You just made it. Booth okay? Care for a beverage? Will that be the pasta fagioli or the garden salad? And your rolls: plain or dripping with garlic? For dinner there's lasagna, stuffed shells, eggplant rollatini, chicken parmigiana, veal cacciatore, linguine in clam sauce, ziti with sausage, or something else ... I forgot; I'll be right back. What do you mean you're full? No dessert? Either way it's $7.95. Come on, take the cannoli! (Oh well, just come back: The early bird special is offered seven days a week, 4:00 to 7:00 p.m.)
Tart enough. Sweet enough. Mellow yellow filling, almost ecru. Velvety texture. Moist, crumbly graham cracker crust. Outside edge daintily adorned with a ring of whipped cream. Center garnished with more cream and a twisted lime slice. Ideal to serve to your friends, but at close to ten bucks, certainly not meant to throw at your enemies.
Some folks visit this corner storefront eatery for its baked pastas. Other patrons go for its wonderfully prepared veal scaloppine dishes and fillets of fish sprinkled with capers. And most appreciate the lengths the staff goes to ensure that even those waiting for a table outside have a glass of refreshment. We, however, frequent the cafe for its absolutely fresh caesar salad, which is redolent with garlic, Parmesan, and the all-important anchovies. Oh, we know picky diners don't like to look an anchovy fillet in the eye, so to speak. But you don't have to. The dressing here incorporates chopped anchovies, not whole ones, so you get the proper flavor without being, well, grossed out. Best of all, the kitchen will split an order for you, and the results usually are two huge salads for the price of one.

Kriss128 I did look at that link and it was quite good. Now no more holding back, Primey I almost forgot that the best place is always google and far more reliable unlike small dicked wiseguys waiting to vent out their frustration on u and proving themselves Gurus(All known wise guy) by trying to put others down. (I've seen this many times on other posts as well and is this what they call helping someone). They think that I'm using an exploit that is meant for Vulnerable XP machine and I'm using it to exploit a machine that runs windows 2000 that has open FTP port(Example). LOLOL. There's no point in talking/arguing with a fool because firstly he will say he knows everything and he's right. Secondly he will bring you down to his level and finally beat you with his experience. Sayonara.
I hope they are patched and it doesn't let a script kiddie like you into thier system.
EX. of a Lame question - Hey peeps wuz sup! I installed the backtrack and I cracked a wep key soooo... fast. Now I be doing some scanning and I seen some ports open like 445. What does dat mean? I seen in the milw0rm folder there was some 445 sploitz so I compiled them all and ran them all against the Box but I can't get no shell. Wuz up wit dat?
EX. of a correct and well thought out question - Hi guys, I'm a small business owner with a very small network and I am interested in see how secure I am. I have down loaded backtrack and read the guides which have led me to crack my WEP key rather quickly. I have now changed to WPA but now I am rather interested in taking the test a little further. I have completed some scans of my LAN with 3 different scanners and determined the operating systems running and the ports running. I have noticed that exploits are version specific and I was wondering how I can determine if a exploit will be successful. Thanks for your help.
I am far from a GURU here but I do know how to do my own research and ask a well thought out question. Once again we are very sorry to have offended you.
And besides all of pureh@tes excellent points, I don't think that causing trouble is going to help you get along in this forum. We tried to help you, but the advice wasn't taken, and then you tried to pay us out with the following, which doesn't even make sense:
Awww playtowin, I'm sorry you feel we've mistreated you. No one vented, no one put you down, we simply illustrated the errors in your plan. If realizing such errors exist presents some type of problem for you we're sorry but that's hardly our problem.
You still haven't got the point, although you provided further information this time you're still missing important details. 1) Is it actually a FTP server? Or is it something running on a non-standard port. 2) What FTP server is running on that port (MSs? Serv-U? filezilla? etc)and I'm using it to exploit a machine that runs windows 2000 that has open FTP port(Example). LOLOL.
swc666 you crack me up.
pureh@te masterfully said!
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.


description: When the trembling stops, the disaster is only the beginning.

title: Earthquakes 101

transcript:
April 18th, 1906. California’s San Andreas fault snaps, shaking San Francisco for nearly sixty terrifying seconds. When the trembling stops, the disaster is only beginning. Gas lines rupture, setting off massive fires. SOME 700 people DIE… most of the city is reduced to ruins.
This trembling of the ground -- caused when masses of rock suddenly shift below the Earth’s surface -- is called an earthquake.
Hundreds of little earthquakes shake the planet every day but most pass unnoticed. They usually occur along the boundaries of the thin plates that cover the earth, like an eggshell. Driven by the heat deep within the Earth’s core, the plates grind against each other along lines called faults. When the plates’ motion is blocked, stress builds up. Finally, the fault gives way. The released energy races through the earth in the form of seismic waves.
Scientists record these waves on a device called a seismograph. These zig-zag lines show the strength of various seismic waves.
Using the lines, scientists grade earthquakes on the Richter Scale. For a QUAKE to measure one number higher on the Richter Scale, it must release ABOUT 30 times as much energy as the number below it.
Every year, about 100,000 earthquakes rumble through the ground hard enough for people to FEEL them. Of these, only about a thousand are strong enough to damage property.
But a powerful earthquake can be devastating. On average, about 10,000 people die each year as a result of earthquakes.
The greatest recorded earthquake ever to hit North America measured a massive 9.2. The tremor struck Alaska on march 28th, 1964.
A camera on board a ship docked in Valdez recorded the draining of the entire harbor as a chasm opened up on the sea floor.
There’s no stopping the surface of the Earth from changing and moving. So engineers are focusing on ways to create better buildings, highways and bridges… structures that will remain safe and stay in one piece… the next time the Earth begins to shake.

The theory of evolution, which accounts for the origin of life in terms of chance, cannot provide a coherent explanation for even the existence of the most basic molecules in the cell. Advances in genetic science and the discovery of the nucleic acids, DNA and RNA, represented still further impasses for the theory. In 1955, research by two scientists, James Watson and Francis Crick, brought to light the DNA's unbelievably complex structure and design.
The molecule known as DNA, found in every one of the 100 trillion cells in the human body, contains a flawless structural blueprint for the body as a whole. Information regarding all a person's characteristics, from external appearance to the structures of the internal organs, is recorded in the DNA through a special coding system, via the arrangement of four special molecules that constitute the DNA spiral. These molecules, known as nucleotides, are referred to by their initial letters: A, T, G and C.
All the structural differences between human beings stem from these letters being arranged differently from one another. The arrangement of these molecules in DNA determines a person's structure, down to the minutest detail. In addition to features such as height and the color of the eyes, hair and skin, the blueprints concerning the body's 206 bones, 600 muscles, 100 billion nerve cells and 100 trillion cells are all contained in the DNA in any single cell. If you were to put down all the information in DNA on paper, you would need to a library of 900 volumes of 500 pages each. Yet this unimaginable amount of information is coded in the components of the DNA known as genes.
Any error arising in the arrangement of the nucleotides making up a gene will make that gene totally functionless. Bear in mind that there are 40,000 genes in the human body, and it seems absolutely impossible for the millions of nucleotides comprising these genes to have assumed their correct order by chance.
A medium protein might include about 300 amino acids. The DNA gene controlling this would have about 1,000 nucleotidase in its chain. Since there are four kinds of nucleotidase in a DNA chain, one consisting of 1,000 links could exist in 41000 or 10600. Ten multiplied by itself 600 times gives the figure 1 followed by 600 zeros! Imagine how many universes it would take to accommodate 10600 DNA chains! 130
Following a small logarithmic calculation, in 41000 is equivalent to a probability of 1 in 10600. That number is 1 followed by 600 zeros. Since 1 followed by 11 zeros equals 1 trillion, it is absolutely impossible to conceive of the number represented by 1 and 600 zeros. The impossibility of nucleotides coming together by chance to constitute DNA and RNA is expressed by the French evolutionist scientist Paul Auger:
We have to sharply distinguish the two stages in the chance formation of complex molecules such as nucleotides by chemical events. The production of nucleotides one by one—which is possible—and the combination of these within very special sequences. The second is absolutely impossible.131
The chances of a protein and nucleic acid (DNA-RNA) forming are far beyond what is estimated. In fact, the odds of a specific protein chain coming about are astronomically small. 132
The theory of evolution has not proven any of the evolutionary formations alleged to have taken place at the molecular level. As science progresses, far from producing answers to these questions, it actually makes those questions more complex and unanswerable, and thus confirms creation by default.
However, evolutionists have conditioned themselves to deny creation and are thus left with no alternative than to believe in the impossible. In his book Evolution: A Theory in Crisis, the well-known Australian molecular biologist Michael Denton describes the situation:
To the skeptic, the proposition that the genetic programmes of higher organisms, consisting of something close to a thousand million bits of information, equivalent to the sequence of letters in a small library of 1,000 volumes, containing in encoded form countless thousands of intricate algorithms controlling, specifying, and ordering the growth and development of billions and billions of cells into the form of a complex organism, were composed by a purely random process is simply an affront to reason. But to the Darwinist, the idea is accepted without a ripple of doubt— the paradigm takes precedence!133

I'm running the live cd, and no matter which option I choose it sends me to terminal/console/command line, whatever you would like to call it. Anyone know why this would be, and/or fill me in on how to get to gui as seen in the screenshots?
Have you booted the disc, logged in as root and tried the command "startx" [no quotes]? If so, and X11 still kicks you back to the command prompt, we can move on to the next step: checking your video card support. Post with results, please!
thou shalt treat all computers as thou wouldst treat thyself, for thou art the creator of thine own problems.
I was baffeled by the same thing when I first booted up on BT4. I was use to the BT3 interface where you had an actual log on and xconf to help you out with the video configuration, but they are not the same. BT4 just boots you to the command line already logged in as root and waiting for a command.
xX_Spiidey_Xx is right to just try startx first if you get GUI then you are golden, if not then you are in the same boat I am / was.
Try running fixvesa then start x again. This works for me but I am stuck with 800x600 rez.
I am still trouble shooting this here h**p://www.backtrack-linux.org/forums/beginners-forum/505-need-help-acer-aspire-one-532h-video-resolution.html#post1678
I found that I am too lazy to even type fixvesa startx each time I boot so I edited the /root/.profile file and after the last "fi" add one line for fixvesa and then another new line for startx. Now every time I boot it goes strait into GUI.
Technically we should start with the md5sum of the download. Also the hardware specs will help us as well.
Then we can move to the next step/s.
@OP Let us know about the md5sum also the specs. In addition are there any errors that you noticed during boot up displayed.
Didn't see any errors go by while booting.

IS MIDDLE EAST TRYING TO EXPLODE? / Syria accuses neighbor of provoking opposition, hoping for war (WND-WORLD NET DAILY) By Aaron Klein TEL AVIV, Israel 04/23/12)
Source: http://www.wnd.com/2012/04/is-middle-east-trying-to-explode/
WND} WORLD NET DAILY Articles-Index-Top
TEL AVIV A top Damascus official has told WND the Turkish military has begun calling up reserves for a potential armed confrontation with Syria.
The claim could not be immediately independently verified by U.S., French or Egyptian sources, but the purported move comes at the same time a United Nations resolution calls for unspecific swift and meaningful consequences if Syria continues to flout a U.N.-brokered truce with protesters.
Over the weekend, Iranian official Ali Larijani said countries that seek to stoke the crisis in Syria will be engulfed by its fire. With obvious reference to Turkey and the international community, Larija warned unnamed countries against waging war on Syria, saying a confrontation is like playing with gunpowder.
A reported 300 unarmed U.N. observers have begun arriving in Syria as part of the cease-fire agreement. Eight monitors are already in Syria, and a further two are expected to arrive today as part of the advance team agreed to in U.N. envoy Kofi Annans six-point strategy, which calls for an end to the violence and a flow of humanitarian assistance.
U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice acknowledged the challenges for the observers.
They are going to be dependent for security on the very government [that] is responsible for the main security threats, she said. They are going to be deployed in the midst of protesters who are desperate for a protection that the monitors are not equipped or mandated to provide. And they will be deployed in numbers too small to cover the entire country but large enough to give rise to expectations that will be impossible to meet if the Syrian government does not fulfill its commitments.
Official: Turkey wants NATO to attack Syria
Last week, a Syrian official claimed to WND that Turkey had asked the Syrian opposition to ignore the truce and continue its assault against President Bashar al-Assads embattled regime.
Also last week, WND reported the Syrian military is on its second- highest alert level, believing Turkey may be attempting to stage a provocation in the hope of drawing Damascus into a conflict, according to a top Syrian official.
The official said Syria noted unusual Turkish troop movements in recent days along the Syria-Turkey border.
Turkey claimed the movement was to guard refugees coming into the country from war-torn areas of Syria. The Syrian official, however, said Damascus believes Turkey may be trying to surprise Syria with some sort of provocation. (© 2012 WorldNetDaily.com, Inc. 04/23/12)

Azealia Banks drops song with Disclosure
Listen to Azealia Banks on iHeartRadio | Listen to Disclosure on iHeartRadio
Azealia Banks is explaining why she dropped her collaboration with the electronic music duo Disclosure.
In an interview with TheAUReview.com, the rapper says she "canned" the song because the group was "really rude in an interview." Banks seems to be referring to an interview where the duo downplayed the collaboration.
While the track will not appear on Banks' debut album, Broke With Expensive Taste, she says she might leak the record. Banks adds that she has "better stuff" on the album than the project with Disclosure. Azealia Banks also collaborated with Pharrell Williams, Kevin Hussein and Theophilus London for the album.
*Warning: Explicit Language
Azealia Banks has publicly feuded with a number of celebrities, including Lady Gaga, Angel Haze and celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.

10 Welcoming Spring Door Decorations
Ode to spring
To create this colorful display, use a basket with a flat side, so it will lay flat against your door. We placed tulips in small glasses and surrounded them with wheatgrass (purchased from a health food store). For the "hatched" eggs: Crack an uncooked egg, rinse, dry and lightly spray shell with blue paint. For lettered eggs: Apply stick-on letters to colored plastic eggs, lightly spray with pearlescent white paint, let dry, then remove letters. Hot-glue eggs to ribbon, then hot-glue ribbon onto basket.
Hang basket with a ribbon on handle. (If your basket doesn't come with a handle, you can create one by wiring silk blooms to the basket.) Mist the grass periodically with water.
Bundled twig wreath
Make your own wreath using bundles of six or so twigs connected with twine. Hot-glue the bundles first, then use the twine to secure the ends. Add small bird ornaments to finish the spring look.
Rustic appeal
Repurpose a vintage watering can into a spring oasis. Set floral foam in the can to secure stems. Blown eggs and ferns create a tiny garden with multi-hued pink tulips as a background bouquet.
Blooming twig wreath
Look for a twig wreath (available at crafts stores) and bright artificial flowers to add spring flair to your door. Hot-glue flowers into the center of the wreath.
Egg-cellent wreath
Decorate plastic eggs with washi paper or decoupaged fabric strips. Poke a hole with an awl, then string on wire for a bright note on the front door.
Sophisticated spring
Seasonal favorites fill this spring basket. White pussy willow buds complement dainty white tulips. To make a robin's nest: Crack an uncooked egg, rinse, dry and spray paint the shell a light blue. Hang basket with a ribbon on handle. Mist the grass periodically with water.
Showers and flowers
Transform an umbrella into a clever container for springtime trimmings. Tie ribbon around a closed umbrella, and fill the umbrella pockets with tissue paper. Craft a bird's nest with blown eggs, twigs and moss. Tuck in tulips and ferns to fill out the arrangement.
Lamb's ear wreath
To make this spring door decoration, hot-glue lamb's ear leaves (either fresh or artificial) to a plastic-foam wreath. Don't forget to hide the sides of the foam ring with the felt-like leaves. Top with silk flowers for bursts of color, and hang with a pretty ribbon. This wreath also makes a great centerpiece.
Pussy willow wreath
Among the first signs of spring are the fuzzy buds of pussy willow. Choose pencil-thick branches with catkins showing their silvery fur. We bunched willow branches together and tied the bunches on a grapevine wreath base. Keep the branches out of water to prevent the buds from opening and becoming short-lasting blooms.
Woodland wreath
This woodsy wreath plays host to its own potted plants. Start with freshly picked or fallen twigs and bend them into a wreath shape (or use a purchased grapevine wreath). Use wire to attach small planters with ferns and other cascading plants.

POMONA -- Recent mayhem in this city continued on Wednesday as at least two people suffered serious wounds in a violent fight.
Three people were injured, two stabbed of whom were stabbed, around noon in a parking lot for a business complex near Philadelphia Street and Towne Avenue in a large fight between two groups of people, authorities said.
It is unclear if other combatants were injured, but at least two victims drove themselves to Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, according to Pomona Police officials.
Joe Griffith, 45, of Pomona and 25-year-old Marcus Barnes, 25, of Los Angeles were reportedly attacked by a group of men who began to stab the the two men, according to Pomona Police officials.In response to the attack, brothers Joseph Griffith, 26, of Los Angeles and Jamall Griffith, 18, of Pomona began shooting at the group attacking the brothers's family members, authorities said.
Witnesses called 911 when the shots were first fired. Officers found Barnes with a non-life threatening stab wound, authorities stated.
Joe Griffith was driven to Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center by a second person who was also slightly injured in the altercation though it wasn't immediately clear of the driver had also been stabbed. Joe Griffith was later airlifted to Los Angeles County USC Medical Center in serious condition, according to Los Angeles County Fire officials.
Officers found a handgun and shell casings at the scene and through an investigation determined the weapon was used by the Griffith brothers, police officials said. Both Jamall and Joseph Griffith were arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.
It does not appear anyone was hit by gunfire.
Pomona Police officials say Wednesday's incident does not appear to be gang-related.
Some witnesses inside the Discount Grocery Market, who did not want to be identified, said they were inside the store when they heard the commotion.
A collection box sat on the counter of the market asking for donations for the burial of Michael Castillo, and 18-year-old man who was shot and killed on March 12 in an apartment complex in the 1100 block of Murchison Street.
"It's a terrible thing," said one market patron as he purchased an iced tea and spoke to the store owner about the recent violence. "Some people don't feel safe anymore here."
Pomona has had at least six shootings this month. In shootings between March 7 through 12, four men were killed.
Also, on the night of March 16, Pomona police officers shot and killed a woman who allegedly brandished a gun at them.
Pomona residents fear the shootings may be gang and race related, although police offiials have not confirmed that statement.
Authorities have said in a written news release that the first four incidents were not random acts of violence, which do not appear to be related.Anyone with information in any of the recent shooting cases is asked to call the Pomona Police Department at 909-620-2095.

September 6, 2006
Families of September 11 members are invited to participate in a "Hill Drop", part of the launch of our public awareness initiative on Wednesday, September 13.
The event marks the unveiling of efforts by Families of September 11, in collaboration with Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI), a nonpartisan nonprofit organization co-chaired by former Senator Sam Nunn and Ted Turner, to bring attention to legislators and the public at large regarding the urgent need to accelerate work to lock down nuclear weapon materials before terrorists can steal them.
The project is titled "Turning the D to an A", reflecting the "D" grade that the government received from the 9/11 Commission for its efforts to secure nuclear weapon materials. We want to turn that "D" into an "A".
FOS11 Board members, Nancy Aronson, Carie Lemack and Elinor Stout, along with members of NTI, will be visiting legislators and their staffs on September 13 and 14, leaving behind the recent Harvard University report titled "Securing the Bomb 2006".
We need help dropping the reports off in offices on Capitol Hill.
In 1993, Osama bin Laden pledged to take down the Twin Towers. In 2001, he achieved his goal. Now he has pledged to kill 4 million Americans with a nuclear weapon.
We can stop him - but we need your support. Your participation in the public launch will contribute to our efforts to make our country safer and more secure.
If you are interested in lending a hand, please contact Caitlin Zampella for further information at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Natural Progesterone Cream
I'm a big fan and a user of natural progesterone cream. Is natural progesterone cream beneficial for women who want to conceive in their mid forties?

Hi Carla,
Natural Progesterone Cream can be very helpful for women who are trying to conceive, women who want to avoid miscarriage, and women who are peri-menopausal/menopausal.
As we age, progesterone production drops, and being that you're in your 40's and you want to have a child, it will be very important to be sure your progesterone levels stay up after ovulation. Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners will often prescribe herbs to support progesterone production, in which case you wouldn't take the herbs and the progesterone cream - you would take one or the other. But I know women who have found natural progesterone cream to be very helpful.
I use NatPro Natural Progesterone Cream because I've found it to have the highest concentration of natural progesterone that can be purchased in a non-prescription form.
Important information: A study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology (June 1999, pages 15041511) states that "In order to obtain the proper (effective) serum levels with use of a progesterone cream, the cream needs to have an adequate amount of progesterone in it [at least 30 milligrams per gram]. Many over the counter creams have little [for example, 5 milligrams per ounce] or none at all. The creams that are made from Mexican yams are not metabolized to progesterone by women." (From the NatPro website)
Please post back any questions you may have about using Natural Progesterone Cream to help with hormonal balance.
Warm regards,

Finding A Natural Practitioner - Natural Progesterone Cream
Hello Talitha,
In some countries, you can purchase Natural Progesterone Cream over the counter. But in Australia, you have to hold a prescription in order to purchase Natural Progesterone Cream for personal use.
I consulted with Australian midwife, Jane Palmer, and she suggested that you see your general practitioner for a prescription, and then take that prescription with you to the Pharmacy.
Alternatively (and my preferred option), you could search for a holistic doctor on Natural Therapy Pages or do a google search for a doctor who specializes in integrative medicine.
What one midwife is allowed to do in one country or State as compared to another is often quite different. For example, I had a midwife in California and she had Natural Progesterone Cream that she often gave/sold to her patients. Natural Progesterone Cream does not require a prescription in the USA and I have known many women who have used it with great results.
On the other hand, midwives in Australia are very limited in what they are allowed to prescribe - hence the need to find a holistic practitioner who will prescribe it for you.
PCOS can also be managed by an Acupuncturist who specializes in fertility and knows how to use Chinese herbs effectively. Acupuncture and herbs work to balance hormones as well.
If you can't find one online, you can ask at your local health food stores and Chiropractic offices to see if they know of anyone, locally, whom you could talk to.
I hope this gives you some help in finding the best practitioner to help you manage PCOS.
Warm Regards,

Would natural progesterone cream help with vaginal dryness due to breastfeeding?

Natural hormones in a cream base can be used intravaginally and have been very successful in treating vaginal dryness.
Dr. John Lee recommends using natural progesterone cream to correct vaginal dryness. If this doesn't work, he suggests using intravaginal estriol cream available as a prescription from your doctor. This is safe and natural.
Over time, Natural Progesterone Cream helps to increase your vaginal mucus. Since this can take a while, topical lubricants like Yes® can be used at the same time to provide organic, natural and hormone-free lubrication. Progesterone can also help increase low libido.
Many herbs and nutrients can help improve vaginal moisture and lubrication by increasing blood flow to the vaginal walls. Essential fatty acids like evening primrose oil or flax/borage oil can help. Other useful herbs are chaste tree berry, St. John's wort, calendula, motherswort, licorice root, black cohosh, dong quai, damiana, sarsaparilla, burdock root, peony root, oatstraw and raspberry leaf.
Check with your midwife or natural health practitioner if you're going to use herbs, as some herbs are not safe to use during early pregnancy, if you conceive. I'm also not sure what is safe to use during breastfeeding. You definitely don't want to be giving your child extra hormones through your milk, unless a health practitioner says it is okay.
Warm Regards,

Abrie Fourie exhibition in Savannah: 'Oblique'
Savannah, GA
201 E. Broughton St.
The project "Oblique" by South African artist Abrie Fourie follows the publication of the artist's monograph of the same name published in 2011 in Berlin. The book marked the start of an ongoing and evolving project with various exhibition and publication iterations, and stems from a research grant the artist received from the Africa Centre in Cape Town, South Africa. Fourie used this seed funding to digitize and catalog his film archive spanning several decades, which led to an opportunity to once again critically engage with this material and think through different ways of presenting and curating this body of work alongside the development of new creative concerns.
Since 2012, the project "Oblique" has been seen at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin; the Johannesburg Art Gallery; Iwalewa House of the University of Bayreuth, Germany; and SMAC Art Gallery, Cape Town, South Africa.
"Oblique" is curated by Storm Janse van Rensburg.
Public program: Friday, Sept. 27, 3:30-5:30 p.m.
Reception: Friday Sept. 27, 5:30-7 p.m.
Gallery hours:
- Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- Saturday, noon to 5 p.m.
- Closed Sunday
The exhibition, public program and reception are free and open to the public.

BOSTON - Even at the Clippers' highest point this year, back when health was an ally and they were rolling off wins faster than Jay-Z spits out new rhymes, they never took themselves so seriously to assume they were doing anything more than grinding away at a season.
The calendar had not yet flipped to the new year, and for all the good going on they realized mine fields and turmoil surely waited ahead.
Maybe that's why they can easily shrug off the crisis that's arrived as an inevitable crossroad in a long NBA season.
Their sixth loss in eight games came Sunday in Boston against the wounded Celtics, 106-104, the result of another horrible second quarter and a Paul Pierce's 3-point dagger in the closing seconds to squash a spirited fourth-quarter comeback.
It was a frustrating outcome on various levels - their 10-point second quarter dooming them to a 19-point deficit, two Jamal Crawford turnovers in the final two minutes denying them valuable possessions and Pierce's 3-pointer typifying another unbalanced defensive effort.
But frustrating and crushing are two completely different concepts, one the Clippers are well aware. And while they limp from Boston to the nation's capitol in a definite rut, they do so with their spirit and perspective still intact.
Just as they didn't exaggerate their success in December, they won't overreact to their problems in early February.
"When we won 17 games in a row we weren't on top of the world," Clippers guard Jamal Crawford pointed out. "And we won't get too low now."
It helps, of course, knowing Chris Paul has been sidelined the past seven games and 10 of the past 12 with a bruised knee and his return sometime this week seems likely.
It's no coincidence the Clippers' biggest slide this year is occurring with their best player out with an injury. Paul arguably is the second-best player in the NBA, and if his MVP candidacy wasn't secure before getting hurt it's certainly been amplified since going out.
The Clippers simply are not the same team without him. The record proves that, and their awkward execution down the stretch Sunday was the result of it.
"It changes the dynamic," Clippers forward Blake Griffin said.
Nothing against backup point guard Eric Bledsoe, but if Paul is healthy Bledsoe is on the bench watching the final decisive minutes rather than on the floor directing the offense.
To take it a step farther, with Bledsoe in his normal role off the bench the Clippers reserve unit rises to one of the best in the league, the young point guard pairing with Jamal Crawford in a dynamic back-court unit off the bench.
But with Paul out - not to mention Chauncey Billups - the reserves are pressed into starter minutes and all of a sudden the whole thing is out of whack.
"We're a little out of sync right now, obviously, with the rotations and the injuries we have," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said.
He quickly added that wasn't an excuse, and it isn't.
Everyone deals with injuries through the course of the season, or maybe you missed how the Celtics were down four key players Sunday, including point guard Rajon Rondo.
Just as the Clippers did when Paul initially went down, the Celtics have rallied to put together a winning streak.
But the Clippers were not sustainable minus Paul for an extended period, and neither will the Celtics without Rondo.
For all the hand-wringing and over-analyzing people will do over the Clippers' recent skid, the reality is it would be a mistake to assess them under these circumstances.
Granted, if they were playing this badly with Paul it's a different story. But they aren't, and that has to be taken into account.
"We're just trying to hold things down until (Paul) and Chauncey get back," Crawford said.
With that, the Clippers were off to Washington.
Frustrated, yes.
But hardly defeated.

"Two million brain cells die every minute during stroke, increasing risk of permanent brain damage, disability or death. Recognizing symptoms and acting FAST to get medical attention can save a life and limit disabilities "
- National Stroke Association
Stroke, sometimes called a "brain attack," is a leading cause of death and the leading cause of serious, long-term disability in the United States, though studies have shown few Americans know its signs and symptoms. Strokes occur when a blood vessel carrying oxygen and vital nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or ruptures. When this occurs, part of the brain is deprived of blood and oxygen, destroying millions of valuable nerve cells within minutes.
Every 40 seconds someone in the United States has a stroke and roughly every four minutes a person dies from stroke. Deaconess is ready to change those odds. Understanding stroke facts is an important step in making a difference in the world of stroke.
The primary stroke symptoms include:
Note the time the symptoms began and call 911 immediately. Treatment may be available if you get to the emergency room immediately upon recognition of stroke symptoms.
Deaconess Neuro Services is dedicated to improving stroke care in our community. Use our Stroke Treatment Checklist to determine if your hospital provides the same level of care.

For anyone who has had problems getting X to start on old Laptops using the SiliconMotion series of graphics cards.
For some odd reason the graphics card is poorly supported, and upon starting X you are presented with a black screen, when using the vesa driver, OR the siliconmotion driver!
In earlier versions of Linux the driver "siliconmotion" would sometimes work, depending on the version of XFree or Xorg, but logging out of X would also cause the black screen. In some distros even the framebuffer wouldnt talk to the card properly, and text mode video modes only could be used!
Fortunately the framebuffer works fine with this card in BT4.
The Fix For Backtrack 4 is to use xorg.conf-vesa as a template, and replace the driver with "fbdev" instead of "vesa". So do:
cd /etc/X11
cp xorg.conf-vesa xorg.conf
nano xorg.conf
page down to the graphics device section and change:
Driver "vesa"
Driver "fbdev"
(if you use a screen that only does 800x600, delete "1024x768" from the available modes further down the page)
Save and quit, then startx.
Using the driver fbdev, may well work for other odd cards, with similar quirks.

NORTHFIELD, IL -- Kraft Foods Inc. reported strong third-quarter performance across all geographies, despite an 8% dip in profit. The world's second-largest food company said higher spending on advertising its brands and costs related to the acquisition and integration of British confectioner Cadbury offset a 26% jump in revenue.
Kraft reported net income of $754 million for the three months ended Sept. 30, or 43¢ per share, compared with $824 million, or 55¢ per share, for the same quarter a year ago.
The maker of Maxwell House coffee and Oreo cookies said net revenues for the third quarter rose 26% to $111.86 billion from $9.40 billion a year ago, boosted by its $28 billion acquisition of Cadbury earlier this year. Kraft said in September that the acquisition would produce $1 billion in additional revenue by 2013.
Kraft chief executive Irene Rosenfeld said the Cadbury integration has proceeded "smoothly and quickly," adding that the company is already benefiting from "significant cost synergies."
In North America, revenue was up 9.3%, including 7.8% from the Cadbury acquisition, totaling $5.8 billion. Higher prices due to higher input costs accounted for 3.1% of the change.
Revenue in Kraft's European division increased 29% and emerging market operations generated $3.3 billion, a 69.8% increase.
The company confirmed its 2010 guidance for combined organic net revenue growth of 3%- to 4% and earnings of at least $2 a share. The company also reiterated its 2011 targets for combined organic net revenue growth of at least 5% and mid-teens earnings per-share growth.
Separately, Starbucks Corp. announced that it has informed Kraft of its intention to end their distribution agreement, which has been in place since 1998. Kraft said that if Starbucks terminates its right to distribute Starbucks packaged coffee at retail, the Seattle coffee giant is bound to pay Kraft the fair market value of the business, and in some instances, a premium. The companies said they plan to resolve matter in private.
Industry analysts are speculating that an end to the Kraft-Starbucks relationship could also mean an end to Starbucks coffee in T-Disks for use in Kraft's Tassimo single-cup brewer. This could pave the way for Starbucks and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, a rival of Kraft's coffee business, to forge a single-cup alliance for GMCR's Keurig brewing system.
Observers are also speculating that loss of the Starbucks distribution deal could motivate Kraft to eventually divest its long-established Maxwell House coffee brand.

A peaceful Cove on Christmas DayChristmas Day in Taiji, Japan brought us many reasons to celebrate. First, the hunters stayed home with their families and gave the dolphins freedom to migrate past this country with no threat of slavery or death. That in it of itself is a Christmas miracle.
Second, we had a new Cove Guardian join us yesterday on the frontlines of this war against the dolphin slaughter. Andy comes to us from Australia, via Germany and Poland, a roundabout way to end up in Japan but I am continually amazed by how life works out the way it's meant to and people end up exactly where it is meant for them and where they are needed.
If someone had told me a few months ago that I would be celebrating Christmas in Japan, I would have thought they are insane but here I am, enjoying one of the best Christmases of my life with my new friends, most of whom come from countries very different from my own. Life brought each and every one of us together to be here in this place, in this moment. It is so amazing to me that I am a part of this.
The captive dolphin pens at Dolphin BaseThe other morning, at 2 a.m. to be specific, one of the women that work the front desk of our hotel was down in the lobby busily decorating a Christmas tree. When the Cove Guardians came down that morning, the tree was fully decorated and lit up, displayed with the intent of making us feel right at home. Christmas is not a holiday that is widely celebrated in Japan and the fact that this woman went to great lengths to put up a tree and decorate it in the early morning hours, proves just how accommodating the Japanese people are. I was so moved by her selfless act of generosity and genuine concern for us that I wanted to throw my arms around her. However, hugging is not a recognized or acceptable gesture in Japan, especially when the people are near strangers. Although I come from a very hug-oriented family, my respect for this woman won over me and I resisted the urge to invade her personal space.
Tonight, during Christmas evening, we sat in the hotel lobby swapping stories, sharing laughter, passing chocolate, and watching episodes of Whale Wars. The atmosphere was one of contentment and peace. While the fear of what tomorrow will bring is always in the back of our minds, tonight we were happy for the moment to simply be.
Here is your opportunity to become a Cove Guardian. To join us in Taiji (voluntarily, and completely at your own cost and risk), write to us at firstname.lastname@example.com. We will get back to you, but please be patient. We cannot keep an eye on the Cove and answer e-mails at the same time. Contributions to Sea Shepherd Conservation Society to keep our official presence here are needed and welcome. These contributions cover the costs for transport, telephone, equipment, supplies, food, and lodging for the official Sea Shepherd representative. We will remain here through the end of March and will return for the next season in September 2011.
Thank you to the citizens of Japan who are weighing these issues and beginning to take a stand to solve them. Thank you to everyone who is on the frontlines of this war. This is a war to save ourselves from ourselves. Without your calling and writing Japanese embassies and your own governments, there will be no change. Keep it up! Every time dolphins are pushed into the Cove, let them have it. Every time there is blood in the water, let them have it. Make good consumer choices. Inform everyone you know about the tragedy here and how it is linked to the captive dolphin trade. All who patronize a dolphin show have blood on their hands.
For the dolphins,
Libby Katsinis
Andy, Pierre, Lisa, Nicole & Libby
Nicole, who will be assisting me during the next three months, will share her experiences while in Taiji on her blog.Rupert Imhoff, who is also assisting with this campaign, has started a YouTube channel of video taken during his time in Taiji.
Please support our work to save dolphins and ocean life around the globe!

Scammers Try to Cash in on Obamacare Confusion
There's a lot of confusion over the new Affordable Care Act, and scammers are trying to cash in.
They're working the phones and launching websites: Calling to sign up people up for fake Obamacare cards or hoping to take advantage of the fact there's no single place online where ALL Americans can get coverage.
"There is not a one-stop shop. So the best way is to go to your state's homepage and then go from there, rather than just doing an open Google search," Megan Reid with the Better Business Bureau in Sacramento said.
Reid says some scammers will try to confuse seniors about Medicare, which won't be changing. Bottom line: always be suspicious of calls, emails, or texts.
"The federal government uses the mail. They don't call people," Reid said.

Anderson, S.C. - Josh Roper found a wide-open Travis Jackson underneath the basket with three seconds left and the sophomore forward placed the layup in the hoop as the Tornados escaped from the Abney Athletic Center when Denzail Jones' last-second three-point attempt hit the front of the rim on Saturday afternoon as Brevard recorded the 85-84 victory.
In a game matching up two teams who reached the 2010 NCAA Southeast Regional tournament last year, the Tornados (2-2, 1-0 SAC) shot 53.6 percent (30-56) from the floor, led by Roper as the senior guard paced the Brevard offense with 30 points, narrowly missing out on the double-double with a game-high nine rebounds in the contest. Gaither Hendrix added 24 points on nine of 15 shooting from the floor, including three of five from behind the arc as the Tornados won their South Atlantic Conference opener for the second straight season, having knocked off Tusculum last season, 58-54 in overtime.
Four Trojans (5-4, 0-1 SAC) reached double figures in the game, led by 22 points from senior guard Brandon Young as the Trojans shot 47.0 percent from the floor in the game, 55.6 percent in the second half as they overcome a 40-34 halftime deficit. Kevis Cornwell added 16 points, while Jones had 13 and Taylor Shugart had 12 to go with a team-high nine rebounds as Anderson falls in their inaugural SAC home game.
Roper opened the contest with a layup on the game's opening possession as the senior guard from Charlotte, N.C. scored seven of the Tornados first nine points as Brevard opened up the contest with a 9-5 lead at the 16:54 mark. A free throw by Britton narrowed the gap to 9-6 before Jones tied the game up with a three-pointer from the corner with 16:03 to play in the first half.
Roper responded on the Tornados next trip down the court, hitting a high-arcing three to put the Tornados up 12-9 and Hendrix added the next seven points as the Tornados breaking the tie at 16 with a three-pointer on the break giving Brevard the 19-16 lead at the 10:17 mark.
Ryson Felder followed the run with a personal 5-0 run of his own, pulling down the offensive rebound and going back up with the layup, while drilling a three-pointer from the right corner as the Tornados built their largest lead of the first half at 24-16 at the 8:52 mark.
Anderson steadily came back in the game, cutting the lead to one following Jones' third three-pointer of the first half at 26-25. Brevard expanded the lead back out to eight, outscoring the Trojans 12-5, capped by a pair of free throws by Jermichael Tanner as the Tornados went up 38-30.
Anderson's Cornwell and Young closed out the first half with a pair of layups, sandwiching a jumper by Roper as the teams headed into the locker room at the end of the half with Brevard up 40-34.
The Tornados built a 49-38 point lead early in the second half, but Anderson responded, using hustle and several offensive rebounds, fueling an 11-0 run capped by a thunderous dunk by Trey Britton off the assist from Young in tying the game up at 49 apiece with 15:15 left in the game.
Anderson would keep the game in striking distance the rest of the way until a turnover by Roper led to a fast break layup by Young as the Trojans picked up their first lead of the ball game at 76-75 with 4:02 remaining. The largest lead the remainder of the game would be at two points as Roper converted a pair of free throws, putting the Tornados up 83-81 with 19 seconds left on the clock.
Britton responded with his second dunk of the contest off the assist by Cornwell to tie the game up with eight seconds to play, as he was fouled by Hendrix. Britton converted the free throw to put the Trojans up 84-83, but off the inbounds pass, Roper split a pair of defenders on his way down the court before finding Jackson near the hoop with a bounce pass and Jackson went up, slapping the backboard as the ball slipped through the twine as the Tornados took home the 85-84 victory.
Brevard held the 43-26 rebounding edge over the Trojans and the Tornados also held the edge at the free throw stripe, shooting 86.4 percent (19-22) from the line, led by Roper going eight for eight. Anderson's defense led the way for the Trojans, forcing 16 turnovers by the Tornados, but Anderson faltered on the free throw line, shooting 58.6 percent (17-29) in their first conference loss of the season.
The Tornados take a week off for exams before their next competition, as they open up the 2010-2011 home basketball season at Boshamer Gymnasium. Tipoff for the Wednesday, December 15th game against North Greenville University is set for 7 p.m.

description: Visit a factory in Yiwu, China, where workers use 500,000 tons of polyethylene plastic to make five million Lucy dolls each year.

title: I Didn't Know That: Doll Factory

transcript:
JONNY PHILLIPS: I can't believe it, Richard and I have managed to score a date with two of the 20th Century's hottest fashion icons.
RICHARD AMBROSE: I know they don't do much, and they don't say a lot.  But they look great.
NARRATOR: Though the boy's fantasy dates look kind of Swedish, they actually come from.....China.
Population: 1.3 billion.
Here in Yiwu, the last 30 years have seen a huge increase in the economy with production of one of their biggest exports: toys.
This factory in Yiwu makes Lucy Dolls.
They're made out of a polyethylene plastic - similar to the material that's used to make plastic carrier bags.
This type of plastic is cheap, flexible and fire retardant, and they use 500,000 tons of it to make 5 million dolls a year.
The plastic is melted down into a liquid form at 150 degrees Celsius.  Then it flows into these doll moulds.
One side of the machine is the head, torso and arms, the other, the backside and legs.
All of the doll pieces get joined by hand.  This chap is the Lucy Doll champion putting together a staggering 10,000 dolls every day.
The faces are painted using a lead-free oil based paint.  Each stage of Lucy's make-up is done separately.
The heads are then stored in a bucket where a light bulb keeps them warm and softens the plastic, making it easier to sew the hair on.
The hair is made from polymer nylon and a team of hairdressers makes sure Lucy looks her best, by giving her a full-on hair cut and style.
The dolls dresses are made out of a variety of different materials, and the patterns are pressed out in bulk.
The complex designs are sewn together by a team of expert seamstresses.
After being dressed, Lucy goes through Quality Control and then she's ready for her big date with Richard .... Ding Dong!

Darren Chester has been officially declared the winner of the Federal Seat of Gippsland with the declaration of the poll by the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) on Wednesday.
Divisional Officer John Munn performed the official duties on the steps of the AEC office in Sale in front of a small crowd of staff and interested observers.
In declaring the poll Mr Munn indicated that Mr Chester had secured 53 per cent of the primary vote to win on primaries, with Labor's Darren McCubbin receiving 31 per cent.
Mr Chester said he was humbled by the result and looking forward to getting on with the job of representing Gippsland in Federal Parliament.
"I would like to congratulate the AEC and its staff for the professional way that they conducted the election and recognise the efforts of all candidates who contested the ballot in good spirit," Mr Chester said.
"It is a great honour and a privilege to represent Gippsland in Federal Parliament and the work has already started on my second term to make sure we hold the government to account and secure our fair share of funding services and infrastructure."
"It is very humbling to receive such strong support from Gippslanders and I'm looking forward to representing the region's interest to the best of my ability."

Anne Boleyn, second wife to Henry the VIII, is a specimen of speculation, admiration, and everything in between.
For instance, between 1977 and 1997, two-thirds of full-time workers had moved on to higher pay within a year.
I've always thought the final confrontation would be between him and Walt.
In between those two scenes, however, lies the best and most powerful pure war film ever made, in my opinion.
"between the souls of two cultures the screen is impenetrable," he wrote in the best-selling Decline of the West.
between righteousness and morals the difference is important.
For, between you and I, I had whimsies and vapours, but I gave them vent.
between parent and child, the intimacy had been unusually close.
He ran his fingers over the edge, hissing as he did so between his teeth.
"I am––that is, I––My tent was right there between those two trees," said Ashton.
Old English betweonum "between, among, by turns," Mercian betwinum, from bi- "by" (see be-) + tweonum dative plural of *tweon "two each" (cf. Gothic tweih-nai "two each"). Between a rock and a hard place is from 1940s, originally cowboy slang. Between-whiles is from 1670s.
