We know that it's turned into more than just pony discussion; it's about the community. We don't expect every post to be about how awesome Fluttershy is, but we don't want to just have a bunch of random meme or unrelated picture spam either. I'd mentioned in my PMs about the various funny picture and funny video megathreads, and I'd encourage you all to take a look if you're interested in posting those there.
You guys have some great discussions that are tangentially pony related, or even just about daily life. We just want to make sure that the focus of the thread stays on those discussions and not "let's see who can post the best unrelated images!".
Going to close this thread now since we're at the point of thread-length issues. (For the record, I know there was a lot of badmouthing about us and our devs because we can't fix that, but it's a vBulletin issue and out of our control.) I've asked Splenda to leave this thread closed for 5 minutes before starting the new one, so that everyone here gets a chance to notice and read this post.
Hopefully we can keep things on a positive note in the next thread. I promise we're only trying to keep things constructive and happy.

The chroot methoed (mount .img file, chroot into it) works exactly like that (sorta)
instead of a reboot, you just need to run the script to load BT. it boots it up into a chroot environment with leaving the phone still essentially in control. you can take and make calls and texts, surf the web, even play games with it running in he background.
the only downfall is a lack of a custom kernel and lack of control over devices, as the phone OS still essentially runs everything (wifi needs to be on phone side for it too show in BT, so on and so forth)

Chris Brown cancels Canadian concerts
Listen to Chris Brown on iHeartRadio
Chris Brown is scrapping his Canadian concert dates citing his recent personal and health setbacks.
Promoter Stephen Tobin of the Drop Entertainment Group announced Monday that a decision was made to cancel all four performances after ongoing conversations and consultation with Brown. The singer's publicist, Nicole Perna, said Chris regrets not being able to perform for his Canadian fans and will use to this time to focus on himself and on the release of his upcoming album. She added that Chris looks forward to performing in Canada "very soon."
Brown's probation was reinstated last Friday after his involvement in an alleged hit-and-run-incident in Toluca Lake, California in May. He recently reached what was described as a "civil compromise" with the driver of the car but a judge also ordered him to perform an additional 1,000 hours of community labor related to his probation for the 2009 attack on former girlfriend Rihanna.
Brown also suffered a seizure earlier this month. His publicist said at the time that it was brought on by "intense emotional stress, both due to the continued onslaught of unfounded legal matters and the non-stop negativity."

POMONA - Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center has begun replacing equipment used to perform mammograms with new technology better at early detection of breast cancer.
The hospital started using the new mammography imaging equipment at its health centers in Chino Hills and Claremont two weeks ago.
It is making preparations to replace equipment at the hospital's Robert and Beverly Lewis Family Cancer Care Center.
In total four new 3-D breast imaging machines are expected to be in operation by mid-December, hospital spokeswoman Kathy Roche said.
On the surface tomosynthesis, as the technology is also known, is not much different from what is available at most medical imagining facilities.
However, the four machines, which cost about a total of $1.8million, are able to show tiny problems, such as calcifications and masses in a woman's breast, said Dr. Johnson Lightfoote, the hospital's medical director of radiology.
The machine is able to capture multiple images of a woman's breast.
"Tomosynthesis allows us to see through and look at separate sections of the breast that are 1 millimeter thick," Lightfoote said.
Radiologists are then able to review the images and pinpoint irregularities that may not have been as clear in the past.
With the new technology, patients are less likely to be called back for another test. But if something is detected they are also more likely to be called back for further tests, he said.
For patients the process is much the same with one difference: In many instances, there is less discomfort with the new technology.
Claremont resident Nancy Magnusson was the first patient to undergo 3-D mammography at the Claremont facility.
Magnusson, who was scheduled to have the annual test performed in August, said she volunteered to have it done on the new system this fall.
"It's much more comfortable. It didn't pinch. I didn't feel anything," said Magnusson who is a member of the Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center Auxiliary, in addition to being a former member of the hospital's board of directors and an emeritus member of the hospital's foundation.
Magnusson said she's spoken with women about the new technology and encouraged them to take advantage of the hospital's low-cost breast screening services.
The hospital is the only one in the region to have switched all of its mammography machines to the new 3-D technology, Roche said.
The technology is one that most hospitals have begun to incorporate or are working to acquire, said John Morgan, a professor of cancer epidemiology at Loma Linda University in Loma Linda and a cancer epidemiologist with the California Cancer Registry, which is part of the state Department of Public Health.
The new 3-D mammography technology will bring about a slight increase in discovering cancer cases but in the long run it will result in a drop in the number of deaths resulting from the disease, he said.
Although the older equipment is very sensitive, the new technology is more so.
"It has higher sensitivity for detecting a malignancy," Morgan said.
He added, "we can see smaller masses and we can see them three dimensionalized."
Another benefit of the new technology is that it exposes women to lower levels of radiation, Morgan said.
Yet another advantage of the technology is that if a problem is detected less invasive testing and treatment can be used at earlier stages.

By John Boyle Herald Writer
RENTON — Brandon Browner is back with the Seattle Seahawks after serving a four-game suspension, but Walter Thurmond, the cornerback who was scheduled to take over Browner's spot in his absence, is out for the playoffs with a hamstring injury.
Browner, who was suspended for violating the NFL's policy on performance enhancing substances, was back at Seahawks headquarters Monday and has been added to the 53-man roster. He fills the spot that came open because Thurmond was placed on injured reserve, having aggravated a hamstring injury last week.
"He's back in the building today, and it's good to have him back," Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said of Browner.
And while Browner will likely jump right back into his role as Seattle's starting right cornerback, Carroll admitted there is some concern about rust. Players suspended by the league don't just miss games; they can't practice with the team, or even be at the team facilities, so no matter how much Browner has been working out on his own, he will have some catching up to do.
The Seahawks are certainly better off with Browner starting so long as he's ready, but the experience gained by rookie Jeremy Lane and second-year corner Byron Maxwell during Browner's suspension means the Seahawks won't feel like they have to rush the Pro Bowler back if he doesn't look right in practice this week.
"I talked to him today," Carroll said. "He's here, he has worked out real hard and his weight's in shape, he feels fast and all of that, he's going to have fresh legs relative to guys who are 16 games into it, but we've got to see how he does, and fortunately we've got guys who can play. If he's not quite right or if he doesn't get off to a good start during the week, we've got other guys who can play for him. But we're going to give him a heck of a chance to play. We're thrilled to get him back, so we'll see what happens."
As for Thurmond, this is just the latest setback for the oft-injured cornerback. The Seahawks viewed Thurmond as a potential steal in the 2010 draft because he was still available in the fourth round, the result of a serious knee injury suffered as a senior at Oregon. Thurmond had a chance to be a starter in 2011 when Marcus Trufant went on injured reserve, but broke his leg in his third start, and he then re-injured his leg last spring, requiring a second surgery. That kept him out for the first 11 games of this season, and when he finally returned, he got a chance to start after Browner was suspended, but after just one start, Thurmond went down with a hamstring injury.
"We couldn't get him over the hump on it," Carroll said. "He kind of re-tweaked it last week, and that means it's going to be a couple of weeks again. The whole return after leg break that he had, he never really got back to full balance with his whole body, and he was just vulnerable. So we just kind of have to ice him for a while … when we get him back he'll be able to have a good offseason and get ready to go. He played really well when he was in there, and we were able to see that he can help us and be a big part of the game plan and all. We look forward to him coming back when we get back to OTAs and all of that."
Browner's return could possibly change things at the nickel cornerback position. Not because he plays there, but because it could free either Jeremy Lane or Byron Maxwell, both of whom have worked inside and outside, to focus on nickel if Carroll wanted to create competition for Marcus Trufant. Carroll didn't rule out looking at possible changes, but he also praised the play of Trufant, who returned to his nickel role Sunday after missing the previous four games with a hamstring injury.
"We'll continue to look at that," Carroll said. "It does change the dynamic a little bit now that Brandon's back. But Tru had a very good game this week and did a nice job in his first time back, and I think he made it through feeling fine. He was quick and sharp on his stuff, so there's a good chance that he'll be playing this week."
Other than Thurmond's season ending, the news is good for Seattle on the injury front. Carroll repeated what he said after the game Sunday — that the team suffered no new injuries — and he also said linebacker Leroy Hill should make it back this week after missing Sunday's game with a hamstring injury. Hill will have to compete with Malcolm Smith to regain the staring job, however, after Smith had another strong showing in Hill's absence. Smith also started for Hill earlier this season when the veteran was sidelined by an ankle injury.
Losing assistants?
Carroll acknowledged that Monday was a brutal day for men in his profession with seven head coaches losing their jobs. And Carroll, who himself has been twice fired by NFL teams, also acknowledged that all of those firings could have an effect on his coaching staff. Offensive line coach/assistant head coach Tom Cable has been a head coach before, and could draw interest from teams given how much he has helped Seattle turn around its offensive line and running game. And coordinators Darrell Bevell and Gus Bradley are both up-and-coming assistants whose names have shown up on lists of potential head coaching candidates. And while Carroll would certainly prefer to keep his staff intact, he wouldn't try to stop any assistants for leaving if it was the right opportunity.
"I think on our staff we have some guys that are really worthy of consideration and we'll see what happens, how it goes," Carroll said. "I've always been a guy that wants to help our guys get the job that they want and work for them. That's part of the deal coming here. They come here and I'll do everything I can to help them go where they can go. It's always made it hard on me, but it also is a good atmosphere for guys who want to come here too; when you go into the recruiting part of the coaching thing."

LONG BEACH - Councilwoman Gerrie Schipske released an alternative budget plan Friday to use surplus revenue to prevent cuts next year that she says would disproportionately impact East Long Beach.
The proposal uses $17.2 million to, among other restorations: fund the gang enforcement and other police investigative units that are targeted for consolidation, prevent layoffs among police support staff, save youth sports and after-school programs, keep open swimming pools scheduled for closure, stop some library reductions and maintain programming for the El Dorado Nature Center, adaptive recreation and the senior center.
"The residents have clearly spoken that they do not want police, fire, recreation and libraries cut while $17 million dollars sits as surplus," Schipske said in announcing her plan.
"No one is proposing starting up new programs. What is being proposed is fixing those services and programs that make this city a safe, quality place in which to live and to work."
Long Beach is facing a $17.2million deficit for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, and officials have proposed extensive abatements to almost every city service. The council must approve a balanced budget by Sept. 15.
City Manager Pat West has proposed a plan using $16.9million of oil surplus money, ambulance billing dollars, refuse fund leftovers and a one-time solid waste fee boon to pay for "one-time" expenses that aren't considered continuing outlays.
West's proposal, supplemented and supported by Mayor Bob Foster, gives $5.8million toward a new financial and human resources system and other technology, $4 million to overhaul fire stations for gender equality and to transition to a new paramedic service model, $3.1 million for a police academy and prisoner transport vans, and $1.4 million for parking citations and billing systems, among other one-time uses.
Schipske's proposal would use that money to prevent departmental cuts.
Foster has strongly opposed suggestions that city leaders apply surplus funds to ongoing expenditures, and earlier this month called it "a road to insolvency" under the rationale that the practice compounds downsizing required in subsequent years if revenues continue to outpace costs.
Several of Schipske's suggestions - for recreation, police investigative details, police support staff and libraries, for example - are in that category.
Schipske said she believes taxpayer dollars are better spent providing services than upgrading software systems.
She also questioned whether the $10.9 million in oil surplus projected for 2013 was too low since the fund swelled to $18million last year.
"This year oil production was up and the price of crude oil fluctuated all year long between $80 and $125 a barrel," Schipske said. "There should be a lot more money coming our way."

Grades 5+
You probably learned to read in kindergarten or first grade, maybe even sooner. Maybe it's a little hard for you, maybe it got easier as you read more and more, maybe you can't stop reading.
But you did learn to read - good at it or not, loving it or not.
For Travis, that never happened. From kindergarten until seventh grade, he never let anyone see that he couldn't read - and no one knew - not even his teachers. When Travis and his grandpa move to a new town, and he begins at a new school, Travis isn't worried that he'll have trouble hiding his secret - until he gets his schedule.

Schmitt said that these reports also relate to American military operations in Afghanistan.
Schmitt watched English-language movies, and sought out a native speaker to converse with informally.
They have, as Schmitt suggested, raised every disagreement, on issue after issue, to the level of clashing worldviews.
Attorney Schmitt claims, "There will be no further statement from Mr. Cosby or any of his representatives."
I understand that Mr. Schmitt must get his three thousand from the building loan association, to which he must pay six per cent.
This portion of the narrative is found only in Schmitt's version of the Siamese translation.
In this account of the early history of the Chora, there may be, as Schmitt 512 thinks, many inaccuracies.

Spot The 3 Hidden Faces
Occasionally a Photoshop contest appears, where dozen of authors submit their works in order to win a prize. One such contest was recently held, where the main theme involved optical illusions. I love it when I stumble across these, because it means bunch of fresh material for us! One of the submissions I found quite peculiar, was created by Nasir Khan and was based on a hidden girl's face. Now, don't be fooled like I was! The main hidden face isn't the cloud one, nor the rock formation below what seems to be an impossible object of some sort. It's something else instead. Closest hint I can give you is to look for the negative space. Something very similar to this one. Do you see it now?

LONG BEACH - Say it loud and say it proud.
An estimated 30,000 to 35,000 people are expected to line Ocean Boulevard on Sunday and cheer the hundreds of participants who are marching under the boulevard's rainbow flags in the annual Long Beach Pride Parade.
Among the rainbow-colored floats and numerous marching groups, representing a spectrum of religious, governmental and social service organizations, are five grand marshals. They include a TV personality, a regional mayor, local civic advocates and a deputy police chief.
Here's a look at who they are:
Josh Flagg, Colton Thorn
Josh Flagg, 26, and his boyfriend, Colton Thorn will be the parade's grand marshals. They appear on the Bravo show "Million Dollar Listing," which follows three young real estate agents as they try to sell expensive homes in Hollywood and Malibu.
Though Flagg and Thorn have been a couple since 2007, Flagg publicly came out in March 2011.
In an interview last year, Flagg said he never publicly came out before because he didn't want to be known as "the gay real estate agent."
After high school graduation in 2004, Flagg started working as a real estate agent in Beverly Hills.
Laura Farinella
In September, the Long Beach Police Department reached a milestone in its 103-year history. It promoted its first female and gay or lesbian officer to the rank of deputy chief of police. That officer was Laura Farinella, who will be the parade's female community grand marshal.
Farinella, 48, was chief of staff to Police Chief Jim McDonell.
Farinella's wife of more than two decades, Long Beach Police Child Abuse Detective Dawn Collinske, and their two children, Emily, 13, and Charlie, 7, attended the swearing-in ceremony.
During her tenure with the Police Department, Farinella has worked in various capacities in patrol, including the East and North divisions. As a commander, she oversaw the gangs and violent crime division, which includes homicide.
Ron Sylvester
Ron Sylvester, 48, president and chairman of The Long Beach Gay and Lesbian Center, will be the male community grand marshal.
He has served on The Center's board of directors since 2009 and was elected president and chairman in 2010. He is serving his third consecutive term leading the organization.
During this time, The Center was impacted by the bad economy, including a decrease or elimination in corporate sponsorship dollars, government grant money and personal giving. But the organization is weathering the storm with strict fiscal controls.
In addition to his work at The Center, Sylvester is a past board member of The Entertainment AIDS Alliance in Los Angeles. EAA raises funds within the entertainment community to support HIV and AIDS charities all over the country.
Sylvester owns RS/tv Inc., a broadcast publicity and video production company specializing in entertainment and consumer product publicity.
Michael A. Gin
Michael Gin, 49, an openly gay Republican serving his second term as the 28th mayor of Redondo Beach, is the parade's Morris Kight political grand marshal.
In 2009, Gin was elected to the advisory board of the United States Conference of Mayors. He also serves on the conference's energy committee..
Gin works as a senior staff analyst for the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services. He's responsible for project management and acquisition of an electronic health records system for all Los Angeles County medical facilities.
In the summer of 2007, Gin was named as a David Bohnett Fellow of the Gay and Lesbian Leadership Institute and attended and completed the Senior Executives in State and Local Government Executive Education Program at the Kennedy School at Harvard University. He has also worked as a field deputy to county Supervisor Don Knabe.
Gin and his husband, Christopher Kreidel, have been together 16 years and were married in 2008.
Rene Castro
Being honored as the Whitey Littlefield Community Bridge Builder parade marshal is Rene Castro, 48, vice president of programs at the California Conference for Equality and Justice.
The Long Beach-based human relations group works to eliminate bias, bigotry and racism among all races, religions, cultures and sexual orientations.
CCEJ works toward this goal through a variety of advocacy, conflict resolution and education, including diversity training in the community and workplace.

lol walt created a monster. from when they showeed the difference between how walt reacted to gus killing victor and how jesse reacted. i really hope this season doesn't end with jesse getting killed cos he's too bad for his own good.
there was a difference. they were both shocked, but where walt looked like he might vomit, jesse looked right at gus. and then in the restaurant, jesse understood, but walt was still in panic mode.
i'm the best mayne, i deed it
only part of the episode i hated: fucking skylar and saying meth lab on the phone, the cunt
i'm the best mayne, i deed it
Not sure what you're saying. They both seemed to be scared shitless. Even that one assassin guy was like for a second.
I just hope they kill Gus.

I couldn't tell if Gus did what he did because Victor went into Gale's apartment and people saw him, or because he was attempting to cook on his own, or if Gus just wanted to show them that he can kill without mercy too. I couldn't believe it either way. Can't wait for next Sunday.

it was because he was seen at the crime scene and thats a liability for gus
i didnt get this either. wierd. but im sure it'll be explained as it goes on. thats what i love about this show. when something gets thrown at you and it confuses u and your like "what the fuck is this?" it comes to light.

Just my opinion.

The Cycle Returns - First Period After 15 Months of Breastfeeding!
Hi there
With my daughter now 15 months, my cycle has returned. I am still breastfeeding and hope to continue to do so until my daughter is at least 2 years old. I am wondering how my periods returning will affect my supply. Also, this first period has been very heavy. Will breastfeeding make all subsequent periods heavy? Would love your insights.

Hello Mumof2IVFmiracles,
Returning periods never affected my milk supply, and my periods returned when my babies were 5 months of age or younger. I always had plenty of milk.
However, with a 15 month old, the thing that will likely affect your milk supply more than anything else will be how much or how little she wants to breastfeed. As she gets older she will be interested in more and more things, and possibly want to sit quietly in your lap less and less, to the point where you may find yourself eventually only breastfeeding in the morning, before nap, and before bed.
If you happen to notice that your milk supply drops off more than you'd like, you can always drink some mother's milk tea or fenugreek tea, or take fenugreek supplements. Also be sure to keep your water intake up because if you let this drop, your milk supply could drop as well.
Also, I didn't find that my periods were any heavier once they returned. It does make sense, to me, that if this is your first period after 15 months, it may be heavier than normal, but I wouldn't expect it to be abnormally heavy next time unless you possibly have a hormonal imbalance that needs to be corrected.
Be sure you're eating a fertility friendly diet, taking your essential fatty acids, and nourishing yourself and your child as best as possible, especially if you are thinking about having another baby. We use our calcium reserves 7 times faster during the childbearing years, so eating well is super important.
Warm regards,

Hi Mumof2IVFmiracles,
My periods returned earlier this year when my son was just over 12 months old. My first period was very heavy but I understand this is quite common and they tend to settle down to a normal flow after this. I did not notice a change in my milk production, but now that I am pregnant again my milk production seems to have decreased a bit (although we are still happily breastfeeding). You may also find it useful to know that, when you are still breastfeeding, your periods can be irregular in terms of their timing. It is not uncommon to 'miss' a period when you are breastfeeding (and after your first period has returned).
Best wishes,

Dear all,
I'm a bit familiar with Linux, and I've already used BT3 successfully in the past.
I have now a small netbook (Fujitsu P1630) and, facing very low WiFi range of the embedded card (Atheros XSpan), I purchased an Alfa AWUS036H. I'm fairly happy with the range increase under Windows 7, but, unfortunately, the card is absolutely not detected under BT3 nor BT4: iwconfig still shows the embedded Atheros (wlan0), but no Alfa at all.
I've read issues about updating the driver but i) my BT3 version is already 220.127.116.11 not even talking about my BT4 and ii) I think not showing under iwconfig is probably a problem a step before.
I could post further details on request.
Anyone could help?
Thanks in advance,

Ear barotraumaBarotitis media; Barotrauma; Ear popping; Pressure-related ear pain; Eustachian tube dysfunction
Ear barotrauma is discomfort and possible damage in the ear due to pressure differences between the inside and outside of the eardrum.
The air pressure in the middle ear is usually the same as the air pressure outside of the body. The eustachian tube is a connection between the middle ear and the back of the nose and upper throat.
Swallowing or yawning opens the eustachian tube and allows air to flow into or out of the middle ear, keeping the air pressure on both sides of the eardrum equal. If the eustachian tube is blocked, the air pressure in the middle ear is different than the pressure on the outside of the eardrum. This can cause barotrauma.
Many people experience barotrauma at some time. Barotrauma commonly occurs with altitude changes, such as flying, scuba diving, or driving in the mountains. If you have a congested nose from allergies, colds, or an upper respiratory infection, you are more likely to develop barotrauma.
Blockage of the eustachian tube could also be present before birth (congenital), or it may occur because of swelling in the throat.
- Dizziness
- Ear discomfort or pain in one or both ears
- Hearing loss (slight)
- Sensation of fullness or stuffiness in the ears
If the condition is severe or prolonged:
- Ear pain
- Feeling of pressure in the ears (as if underwater)
- Moderate to severe hearing loss
- Nosebleed
Exams and Tests
During an inspection of the ear, the health care provider may see a slight outward bulge or inward pull of the eardrum. If the condition is severe, there may be blood or bruising behind the eardrum.
Severe barotrauma may be difficult to tell apart from an ear infection.
To relieve ear pain or discomfort, first try to open the eustachian tube and relieve the pressure.
- Chew gum
- Inhale, and then gently exhale while holding the nostrils closed and the mouth shut
- Suck on candy
- Yawn
When flying, do not sleep during the descent. Use these measures frequently to open the eustachian tube. Allow infants and children to nurse or sip a drink during descent.
Divers should descend and ascend slowly. Diving while you have allergies or a respiratory infection is dangerous, because barotrauma may be severe.
If self-care attempts do not relieve your discomfort within a few hours, or if the barotrauma is severe, you may need medical intervention.
Medications recommended may include:
- Antihistamines
- Decongestants taken by mouth or by a nose spray
- Steroids
These medications may relieve nasal congestion and allow the eustachian tube to open. Antibiotics may prevent ear infection if barotrauma is severe.
If the tube will not open with other treatments, surgery may be necessary. A surgical cut is made in the eardrum to allow pressure to become equal and fluid to drain (myringotomy). However, surgery is rarely necessary.
If you must make frequent altitude changes or you are susceptible to barotrauma, you may have tubes surgically placed in the eardrum. This is not an option for scuba diving.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Barotrauma is usually noncancerous (benign) and responds to self-care. Hearing loss is almost always temporary.
Possible Complications
- Acute ear infection
- Hearing loss
- Ruptured or perforated eardrum
- Vertigo
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Try home care measures first. If you cannot relieve the discomfort of barotrauma in a few hours, call for an appointment with your health care provider.
Call your provider if you have barotrauma and new symptoms develop, especially:
- Drainage or bleeding from the ear
- Fever
- Severe ear pain
You can use nasal decongestants or antihistamines before altitude changes. Try to avoid altitude changes while you have an upper respiratory infection or allergy attack.
Talk to your doctor about using decongestants if you plan to scuba dive.

I heard WPA key can be discover without creating wordlist or dictionary on computer by using CUDA technology.
I mean direct producing wordlist that are not store on computer and run it with cracking program.
Please tell me how to make it, if somebody know about that way.

or pipe crunch into pyrit! still not really a rational plan of attack though unless your working with only numbers. Think of how long it would take to brute force an 8 character password, even at 100,000 PMKs... and 8 characters is only the starting point what if its 63???
Last edited by 2901119; 04-20-2011 at 06:35 PM.
Years and years later you might brute force a halfway good pasword. If it's a good password it could take a couple hundred more.
Please correct me if Im wrong. From reading PureH@te's writeup on CUDA, CUDA enabled GPUs are used (in their down time) to compile rainbow tables that further generate temporary wordlists that are tailor fitted for the situation or task at hand. Because it's all done internally, the user has no knowledge of the exact procedure, but the end result is a significantly streamlined dictionary attack. All of which is conditioned that the user first has the CUDA enabled NVidia GPU.
That's how I interpretted that material.
Running both KDE and GNOME BT5 flawlessly. Thank you !

Kinda. It's still a crapshoot though. If they were dumb enough to use a dictionary word, cuda really speeds up the process. If you're just throwing random characters at it, well you're still looking at years.
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69

Social Justice Awards presented to university community
The University of South Carolina's Martin Luther King Jr. Committee presented it 2011 Social Justice Awards Friday, Jan. 14, to four members of the university community who exemplify the philosophies of Dr. King through their acts of community service, social justice or racial reconciliation.
The awards are presented to faculty, staff and students.
The faculty award recognizes outstanding accomplishments in teaching, research or creative work, service and outreach.
Dr. Patricia Wilson-Witherspoon, medical director of the department of family medicine, was one of two recipients of the 2011 Social Justice Award for faculty. She trains residents in advocating for their patients.
"I like to take care of the individual patient because everyone can't advocate for himself," she said. "I am humbled that the work that I do is deemed worthy of this recognition."
Also receiving the 2011 faculty award was Dr. Sacoby M. Wilson, environmental researcher in the Institute for Families in Society. Wilson studies how communities are impacted by environmental hazards.
"Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was the grandfather of environmental justice, and my work is a continuation of his work," he said. "I try to bring science into poor communities and show them how to get involved and improve their quality of life."
Andrea Williams, associate director for the Institute for Partnerships to Eliminate Health Disparities (IPEHD) received the 2011 staff award. Williams helps develop the career paths of students pursuing degrees in the health profession.
"It's an honor to be recognized as someone who followed the example of Dr. King by helping pave the way for others to succeed," she said. "It's a blessing to be able to help others succeed, and that's what Dr. King was all about."
The 2011 student award was given to Arnold School of Public Health Ph.D. candidate India D. Rose for her work and commitment to winning equal rights for the gay community. "A right delayed is a right denied, and the rights of the LGBT community have been denied long enough," she said.
Rose is a program facilitator in Atlanta for lesbian and bisexual youth.
Staff and student awards recognize outstanding accomplishments in community service, social-justice outreach and racial reconciliation.

FAA Report Available Here
The FAA received repeated warnings in the months prior to 9/11, about al-Qaida and its desire to attack airlines according to a previously undisclosed report by the 9/11 Commission. This declassified and redacted version is the third monograph released by the 9/11 Commission to the public and is available below.
The report by the 9/11 Commission detailed 52 such warnings given to FAA leaders from April to September 10, 2001, about the radical Islamic terrorist group and its leader, Osama bin Laden. The Commission report, written last August, said five security warnings mentioned al-Qaida's training for hijackings and two reports concerned suicide operations not connected to aviation. Families of September 11 (FOS11) hopes that the appropriate action is taken and that full disclosure be made in the interests of the safety and security of all our citizens.

F1 is about 7 years too late to the party. I'm convinced that Formula 1's complete lack of exposure on social media when it really blew up (around 2008-2010) has been one of the main reasons interest in the sport has gone down so much since the turn of the decade. Bernie and co are strongly to blame for this.
26th March 2016, 9:47 at 9:47 am
I'd be curious who has the longest non-crash streak among current drivers. Vettel used to be dubbed the "Crash Kid" but I don't remember the last time I've seen him crash since Belgium 2010 – I don't think Brazil 2012 counts has he kept running.
Rosberg hasn't retired from a crash since Abu Dhabi 2012, where Karthikeyan apparently unexpectedly lost power on the straight. The last time he retired from a crash that was his own fault was… Monaco 2008.
23rd December 2015, 17:33 at 5:33 pm
Germany would win, although it would be mighty close with Britain. I think that Vettel's cooler head on his shoulders (compared to Hamilton) and Rosberg's superior qualifying speed (compared to Button) would prevail.
Completely hypothetical, all of course.
2nd December 2015, 20:29 at 8:29 pm
Bottas has been better than Massa by a bigger margin than the final points tally suggests. If not for his injury in Australia, puncture in Hungary, mixed tyre selection in Belgium, Raikkonen in Russia, and Williams pit crew in Abu Dhabi; he should've had 50 more points than Massa.
24th November 2015, 4:00 at 4:00 am
The margin between Hamilton and Rosberg is rarely more than a few seconds across a race distance. It's not like Webber who would regularly finish 30 seconds behind Vettel. The average gap – when Hamilton has won – has been 3.1 seconds to Rosberg. That's a small gap for Vettel to fit in. Generally speaking, if Vettel has the pace to beat Rosberg, he will have the pace to beat Hamilton (Malaysia being the perfect example of that).
23rd November 2015, 18:54 at 6:54 pm
It's the other way around. The less dominant Mercedes is, the points gap between Hamilton and Rosberg decreases. Rosberg's closest season to Hamilton has still been 2013.
Take Malaysia for instance. Hamilton finished a few seconds in front of Rosberg as he has done so many times this season, but because Vettel won, Rosberg only lost 3 points to Hamilton instead of the usual 7.
17th November 2015, 19:28 at 7:28 pm
Personally, I rate Rosberg at least on par with Button, while I rate Webber and Barrichello a tier below that.
Rosberg has never had any seasons like Webber in 2011 and 2013, or Barrichello in 2001 and 2004.
17th November 2015, 16:58 at 4:58 pm
– He has the most pole positions of any non-champion already
– He is within 3 wins of equaling Stirling Moss for most wins by a non-champion
– Only Moss has finished as runner-up in the championship more times without winning the title
– He outscored Michael Schumacher for three years in a row
– He's a three times Monaco GP winner- more than any other active driver, including Hamilton, Alonso and Vettel.
I'd like to add one more thing:
– Between 2008 and 2012, Rosberg lead 108 laps and scored 7 podiums, including a pole position and a win in China, with cars that always finished between 4th and 8th in the WCC (in other words, midfield cars).
You know what his teammates (inc. Schumacher) achieved with the exact same cars during the same period of time? Absolutely nothing.
17th November 2015, 16:55 at 4:55 pm
Let's turn this around, if he wins the 2016 title because Lewis suffers unbelievable reliability alongside another on-off relation with Paris Hilton, is he a worthy champion? Would you reckon he deserves to be a one time Formula One champion?
If Raikkonen, Button, Villeneuve and Hill deserve to be a 1 time World Champion, then there's absolutely no doubt in my mind that Rosberg deserves to be World Champion. What do the former 4 drivers have which Rosberg doesn't? I will go on a limb and say that Rosberg is probably faster than all of them, but not as lucky with the circumstances he finds himself in. As soon as he has the car to become WDC, he has Hamilton as his teammate.
I think eventually he will be ranked amongst Eddie Irvine, Rubens Barrichello, Felipe Massa, David Coulthard. Close to becoming world champion but not quite.
As someone who has seen both Rosberg and Irvine drive, you cannot possibly be serious when you put Irvine and Rosberg in the same tier. Rosberg, IMO, is faster and more consistent than Barrichello, Massa, and Coulthard; and exponentially better than Irvine.
12th November 2015, 4:12 at 4:12 am
If overtakes on restarts are too easy, then why didn't Hamilton overtake anyone at the restart in Korea 2010? In fact, he lost position on both of the restarts.
Korea 2010 counts, no doubt whatsoever. India 2013 should also count, IMO, since Hamilton could have defended the inside line to keep Rosberg behind, but didn't. Korea 2013 also counts, even though his front wing collapsed and he had to pit the following lap.
5th November 2015, 13:52 at 1:52 pm
The field was pretty spread out on the SC restart at Korea 2010. I definitely think that one should count. I also don't see a reason to why the overtake has to be in the dry. If anything, overtakes in the wet are more difficult because of the spray.
5th November 2015, 4:01 at 4:01 am
Sorry for the absolutely awful quality. From 0:30 to 0:54 of this video, you can see Rosberg overtaking Hamilton into Turn 4:
This was on the opening lap, Rosberg overtook Hamilton after Lewis initially jumped him at the start. They were fighting for 2nd and 3rd at the time, behind Vettel. Simultaneously, while Rosberg overtook Hamilton, Massa overtook them both in a 3-wide battle.
He also overtook him at Turn 3 in Korea. His front wing failed at the same time, but nevertheless he made the move stick.
He also overtook him as soon as the safety car went in at Korea 2010:
Jump to 1:30 of that video.

– Japan 2008

Rosberg overtook Hamilton on track at both India 2013 and Korea 2013. In Korea, his front wing collapsed as soon as he made the pass though.
Korea 2010 is another one, what made that overtake even more impressive is that it was done with an inferior car.
30th September 2015, 7:10 at 7:10 am
– Vettel drove a dominant car in 2011 and 2013.
– Vettel drove the outright best car in 2010 and 2012.
– Vettel drove a car slightly inferior to the best in 2009.
– Vettel drove a capable race winner but not WDC contender in 2014 and 2015.
– Vettel drove a midfield car in 2008.
– Hamilton drove and dominant car in 2014 and thus far 2015.
– Hamilton drove the equal best car in 2007 and 2008.
– Hamilton drove a slightly inferior to the best car in 2010 and 2012.
– Hamilton drove a capable race winner but not WDC contender in 2009, 2011 & 2013.
I didn't include Vettel's 2007 because he drove for 2 different teams, and less than half (8/17) of the season.

Tease Your Guy This Holiday With a Sexy "Santa Baby" Burlesque Dance
Why spend money on a gift when everything your man wants is underneath that sexy lingerie? Allow him to marvel at it by putting on a show he'll never forget.
-Faye Brennan
Lady Chardonnay and Pink Champagne are my new favorites. No, I'm not talking about anything you'll find in a liquor store; I'm talking about the two incredibly sexy and confident blonde bombshells who teach Burlesque Bikini Bootcamp here in New York City. They've got it going on, and they helped me channel my inner sex goddess last week when I took their Santa Baby Workshop.
It wasn't like your average pole-dancing class held at your gym – this was a special holiday-themed, hour-and-a-half lesson in the art of seduction, taught by two women who know the power it can have over men.
"We focus on glamour and tease in our workshops, creating movement that accentuates women's bodies," says Pink Champagne. "It is for all levels and we want every woman in class to shine and get excited to go home and show someone their dance."
Read A Real Guy Tells: How To Be Approachable Without Seeming Desperate
"Many days we choose to run around dressed down, hiding our light," adds Lady Chardonnay. "But, on the days we choose to bring out our inner burlesque girl, we have the privilege as women to dress ourselves up like the most decadent, delicious present. The very act of choosing to be the girly, smiling, playful girl is a choice. There is a surprising power that comes from exposing a softer feminine side."
Not only was it a blast to take their workshop, but I wanted the fun to continue at home, where I could show a lucky male viewer exactly what I had learned. But, since there is no such man in my life at the moment, I've decided to embrace the holiday spirit and share my findings with you. Behold, everything you need to pull off your own super sexy "Santa Baby" burlesque dance!
What you'll need:
-Sexy lingerie, preferably with a Christmas-feel. It could be a bra and panty set, a corset, teddy, or anything that shows a little skin and makes you feel irresistible. I like this number from Frederick's of Hollywood ($42).
-Santa jacket or cute cardigan. You'll start your dance covered up in this – the fun part will be seductively taking it off! This jacket from World Costume ($35.25) is cute and affordable.

dell inspiron 1440 Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b / g (rev 01) works well then
root @ bt: ~ # / usr/share/b43-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh
I'm not sure if my apt-get dist-upgrade worked right or what. I was missing most/all my modules. I unpacked the linux-source-2.6.34-rc6 in /usr/src and copied the /proc/config.gz over to rebuild it.
I am now able to put the "Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2870 Wireless Adapter" in monitor mode and fire up airodump-ng. But it doesn't show anything.. I had this problem with the 22.214.171.124 before I upgraded. I'm worried its a hardware failure. I had it working about a week ago on the 126.96.36.199 kernel. I'll verify its not hardware before I go any further with it.
NOTE: I am rebuilding my kernel with HID support as a module. I'm not sure how it was built with the 18.104.22.168 kernel, but that might be what is causing problems with my touch screen. But it will be a few hours before my poor little Atom will finish the build.

can you list all the patches that are used in that new kernel
why did you not compile modules for AWUS036NH
also airdrop-ng is not compiled

I noticed the rt2860.bin firmware file is missing from /lib/firmware so you may be missing your necessary firmware file as well. Also, can someone provide specific instructions for building/installing the rt2800pci driver? I tried the usual ./config, make, make install but it did not work (did you have to download additional files?) I'd like to test this out for the project if at all possible...
A follow-up to my previous post (sry about double-posting ):
The situation remained unchanged even after I ran install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh.
However on my Ubuntu installation I applied the following quick and VERY UGLY workaround:
- I installed both the wl and the b43 drivers.
- I downloaded and installed the broadcom-wl-18.104.22.168.tar.bz2 firmware as advised.
- I blacklisted the open-source drivers in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43.conf.Code:# Warning: This file is autogenerated by bcmwl. All changes to this file will be lost. blacklist b43 blacklist b43legacy blacklist ssb blacklist bcm43xx #blacklist wl
- I put the following in /etc/rc.local:Code:#!/bin/sh -e # # rc.local # # This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel. # Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other # value on error. # # In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution # bits. # # By default this script does nothing. modprobe -r wl modprobe b43 hwtkip=1 hwpctl=1 /etc/init.d/network-manager restart exit 0
As you can see, I use the proprietary driver to ... initialise?... the wlan card then unload it and use the open-source driver to use it. Injection and monitor mode work flawlessly.
I have attached the dmesg output. dmesg.zip
I hope this helps to fix this bug .

Water For… Life
Water is essential for life. It surrounds us, in bodies of water, in the soil, in the air, in every living thing. Water covers approximately 71% of the earth's surface. Despite this prevalence, the availability of water can vary significantly by climate, environment, season and technology. It can be a matter of life or death, surviving or thriving. Access to water, availability and control over water are universal human concerns.
Using objects from the Anthropology Museums permanent collection, this exhibition explores the relationship between human societies and water. Anthropologists have long studied how cultures adapt to their environments. This approach, known as cultural ecology, is employed here to demonstrate the wide cultural variability in adapting to common biological and cultural concerns relating to water. Presented in four sections, this exhibition focuses on Water for Thirst, Water for Hunger, Water for Transport and Water for Ceremony.

My partner and I want to have a baby boy, I have heard from somewhere that sex positions do help in baby's gender, is it true? I really wanted to have a baby boy, is it possible or is there any thing that we could do to make this possible?

Hi mjdingky,
Sex positions and timing of intercourse definitely do make a difference in whether your chances of conceiving a boy or a girl are greater.
Here's another thread where we discussed how to conceive a boy.
Hope this helps!
Warm Regards,

Grand Moment Bordeaux Clairet 2007 - Johanès Boubée - Alc. 12% - (<€4) - is, according to Guide Hachette (but without mention on the label), produced by l'Union des Producteurs de Grangeneuve et Rauzan from 70% CabFranc, 12% CabSauv and 18% Merlot and is distributed by Johanès Boubée.
Maybe I am cheating by including this as a cooling red. However all red Bordeaux was like this until the development of the cork closure in the late 17th century and the English name "claret" for red Bordeaux is, of course, derived from "clairet".
C: Deeper than most rosé with less purple than some.
N: English boiled sweet with a raspberry and strawberry tinge.
P: The confected boiled sweet carried through onto the palate and into the after-taste, which is a pity because it detracted from the lively fruit, crisp acidity and greater backbone than most rosé. A tad more naturalness to the aromas and this would have been very good. Nevertheless decent QPR; 14.5/20++.

Festival City soon will become Temple Town as well.
LDS Church President Thomas S. Monson announced Saturday that Cedar City, home to the Utah Shakespeare Festival and Southern Utah University, will be getting the Beehive State's 17th Mormon temple.
It will join the St. George temple (the state's first) as the second such edifice in southwestern Utah.
Cedar City Mormons greeted the news with excitement and a bit of relief.
"There have been a lot of rumors, but this morning was the first we heard it from the prophet," said Sage White, bishop of a Young Single Adult LDS congregation in the college town. "It has been going on for a year, but it was only rumors."
Right now, area Mormons drive more than 50 miles to attend the increasingly busy St. George temple, making it difficult for some SUU students and elderly members.
"We go down every month to St. George as a ward and a stake," White said. "A lot of the members cannot go because of commitments they have."
The 100-mile commute, he said, also can test the road-worthiness and pocketbooks of students.
"People have been hungering for a temple in Cedar City," said Joe Sanders, bishop of the LDS Heritage Park Ward. "It will be very nice for folks here."
No details were given about a proposed site for the temple. But Cedar City Councilman Don Marchant said the temple would be on a rise near Beacon Hill not far from Interstate 15.
Monson, considered a "prophet, seer and revelator" by Mormons, also announced a temple to be built in Rio de Janeiro, site of next year's World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics.
It will be Brazil's eighth LDS temple.
Mormons see temples as houses of God, where they take part in their faith's highest sacraments, including eternal marriage.
There are 141 such edifices in operation around the globe, with another 29 under construction. But Utah, headquarters to the faith's more than 14 million members, has by far the largest concentration of LDS temples.
Brigham City boasts Utah's newest LDS temple. It was dedicated in September by senior apostle Boyd K. Packer, who was born and reared in the Box Elder County city.
Two temples are under construction in Utah County, one in Payson and the other in Provo, where the Historic Tabernacle, gutted by a devastating fire in December 2010, is being restored and transformed into a temple.
When the latter opens, Provo will join South Jordan as the only cities with two Mormon temples.
There are four LDS temples in the Salt Lake Valley, with unspecified plans for a fifth somewhere in the "southwest" part.

...According to our analysis, sea level rise due to global warming has already doubled the annual risk of extreme coastal flooding across widespread areas of the nation.
Global average sea level has risen about 8 inches since 1880. This means that warming is already contributing to the damage caused by any coastal flood today. Diverse studies bracket additional global rise likely this century between 1 and 7 feet.
In some areas, especially for Louisiana, Texas, and mid-Atlantic states, sinking land will add to the total effective rise and compound problems.
Taking such local factors into account, we made mid-range projections for sites around the lower 48 of 1-to-8 total inches increase by 2030, and 4-to-19 inches by 2050, depending upon location.
All along the Pacific, from Seattle to the Oregon coast to San Francisco to Los Angeles, the component of past and projected sea level rise from global warming more than triples the odds of "century" floods by 2030 in our analysis, as you can see from the display.
The same is true inside the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays, and many sites to the north.
These increases are likely to cause a great deal of damage. At more than half the 55 sites where we studied flood risk, storm surges on top of sea level rise have better than even chances to reach more than 4 feet above the high tide line by 2030.
Yet nearly 5 million U.S. residents live in 2.6 million homes on land below this level. Multiplied by the national average sales price of existing homes in 2010, this stock comes to more than $500 billion of residential real estate, in a rough estimate.
An enormous amount of infrastructure also lies in the same zone, from airports to wastewater treatment plants, and including nearly 300 energy facilities — as you can see in the second display, along with values for some individual states, and population figures.
The facilities shown are mainly natural gas, oil and gas, and electric facilities. More than half are in Louisiana, the vast majority there unprotected by levees.

Can You Get to a Million Dollars?
Often in life, you have investment goals that you hope to reach. Say, for example, you have determined that you would like to have $1 million in your investment portfolio by the time you retire. But will you be able to get to a million dollars?
In trying to accumulate $1 million (or any other amount), you should generally consider the current balance of your investment portfolio available to meet your anticipated future need, any additional contributions that you anticipate you can make to your investment portfolio, any amounts that you can earn on your portfolio, and the time that you have to do so.
Current balance--your starting point
Of course, the more that you have today, the less you may need to contribute to your investment portfolio or earn on your investments over your time horizon.
Time (accumulation period)
In general, the longer your time horizon, the greater the opportunity you have to accumulate $1 million. If you have a sufficiently long time horizon and a sufficiently large current balance, with earnings you may be able to reach your goal without making any additional contributions. With a longer time horizon, you'll also have more time to recover if the value of your investments drops. If additional contributions are required in order to reach your goal, the more time you'll have to target your goal, and the less you may have to contribute.
The sooner you start making contributions, the better. If you wait too long and the time remaining to accumulate funds becomes too short, you may be unable to make the large contributions required. In such a case, you may need to consider whether you can extend the accumulation period--for example, by delaying retirement.
Rate of return (earnings)
In general, the greater the rate of return (ROR) that you can earn on your investments, the more likely that you'll reach your investment goal of $1 million. The greater the proportion of the investment portfolio that comes from earnings, the less you may need to contribute to the portfolio. Earnings can benefit from long time horizons and compound rates of return, as returns are earned on any earlier earnings.
However, higher rates of return are generally associated with greater investment risk and the possibility of investment losses. It's important to choose investments that meet your time horizon and tolerance for risk. And be realistic in your assumptions. What rate of return is realistic given your current asset allocation and investment selection?
In planning on how to get to $1 million, you should generally consider how much you have now, how much you can contribute in the future, how much you might earn on your investments, and how long you have to accumulate funds. But remember, there are no guarantees--even when you have a clearly defined goal. For example, the market might not perform as expected, or you may have to reduce your contributions at some point. Review your progress periodically and be prepared to make adjustments when necessary.
Amount of contributions
Of course, the more you can regularly contribute to your investment portfolio (e.g., monthly or yearly), the better your chances are of reaching your investment goal of $1 million, especially if you start contributing early and have a long time horizon.
Contributions needed
Now that we've reviewed the primary factors that affect your chances of getting to a million dollars, let's consider this question: At a given rate of return, how much do you need to save each year to reach the $1 million target? For example, let's assume that you anticipate that you can earn an annual rate of 5% (to be compounded monthly) on your investments. If your current balance is $500,000 and you have 20 more years to reach $1 million, you actually do not need to make any additional contributions (see scenario 1 in the table below), but if you only have 10 more years, you'll need to make annual contributions of $13,956 (see scenario 2). If your current balance is $0 and you have 30 more years to reach $1 million, you'll need to contribute $14,754 annually (see scenario 3), but if you only have 20 more years, you'll need to contribute $29,873 annually (see scenario 4).

There is not much we can do about optimus and drivers until (and if) nvidia releases drivers for linux. As of this time it appears they may never do so.
You can however use the onboard intel chipset and whatever drivers it needs. It's not the best, but not much else we can do.
I sent a couple of machines back that had the optimus technology just because of the lack of driver support.

I'm trying to move the text you see in the image below as indicated in the picture. But due to my basic knowledge of CSS I'm having a tough time. Does anyone know how I can move the text? I have included the CSS below if anyone wouldn't mind taking a stab at it.
The CSS code
#homepageBoxCont {
height: 117px;
clear: both;
padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
#homepageBoxCont ul {
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
#homepageBoxCont ul li {
float: left;
width: 138px;
height: 117px;
position: relative;
margin-right: 8px;
margin-left: 8px;

#box3{ background: url(file:///C|/Users/Runner/Desktop/Dev%20Files/images/play3.png) no-repeat 0 0; }
#box4{ background: url(file:///C|/Users/Runner/Desktop/Dev%20Files/images/play4.png) no-repeat 0 0; }
a.readMore { background: url(file:///C|/Users/Runner/Desktop/Dev%20Files/images/187.gif) no-repeat scroll 100% 50% transparent;
font-size: 11px;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: inherit;
vertical-align: bottom !important;

If you want those images to remain as background images, you could place a large top padding on the LIs and remove the height setting:
#homepageBoxCont ul li {
float: left;
width: 138px;
height: 117px; /* remove */
position: relative;
margin-right: 8px;
margin-left: 8px;
padding-top: 122px; /* add - adjust to suit */
Thanks ralph that solve the position issue. I had to change the image coordinates from 100% 50% to 50% 100%. But now I'm stuck with the text sitting over the image. Is it possible to push the text a little to the right and have the image sit on the left?
a.readMore {
background: url(http://www.playbookboards.com/187.gif) no-repeat scroll 0 50% transparent;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: bold;
padding:10px 0;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
text-transform:uppercase !important;
vertical-align: bottom !important;
You could center that text with text-align: center on the parent li's.
Or add some left padding to the anchors. Anchors, who are inlines by default, can have side padding. They can also have text-align if you turn them into blocks, which is why I'm thinking setting it on the li's, who are block parents.
You can also use text-indent on the anchors themselves I think, but be aware that when you indent text, you only indent the first line. Anything wrapping to a new line will not be indented. But anyway, that's an option.

That's all you need. The ul holds the main bg image. Anchors don't need classes.
#homepageBoxCont {
min-height: 117px; (with the 10px padding this means 137px tall)
clear: both;
padding: 10px;
width: 617px; (with the 10px padding this means 637px wide)
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
* html #homepageBoxCont {height: 117px;} /*if you're catering to IE6*/
#homepageBoxCont li {
float: left;
width: 138px;
margin: 0 8px;
padding-top: 112px;
background: url(images/play1.png) no-repeat 0 0;
/* override */
#homepageBoxCont #box2{ background-image: url(images/play2.png); }
#homepageBoxCont #box3{ background-image: url(images/play3.png); }
#homepageBoxCont #box4{ background-image: url(images/play4.png); }
(not sure if #box2-4 by itself is enough to override, try it)
#homepageBoxCont a {
background: url(images/187.gif) no-repeat 0 50%;
[b]font: bold 11px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;[/b]
(I would add a line-height as big as bg image:
font: bold 11px/heightofbgimage arial, helvetica, sans-serif;)
color:#cacaca; /*ew!*/
[b]padding-left: enough to push text to the side;[/b]
If you really do want 10px top-bottom padding as well as left then padding: 10px 0 10px what's-needed-for-image;
You have multiple padding settings and only the last one should matter.
10px is absurdly small font size. Please don't punish the people who came to read the text on your site. I don't let text get smaller than 12px and that's really really pushing it. Might look fine on a 600x800 resolution but most people don't have that anymore, and most people don't have perfect eyes.
Anyway you can see that as you get more familiar with CSS, you can really reduce your code. Especially you can see how you can use the main ul's token to hit the li's and the anchors, so the anchors don't need classes for anything. If the id's on the li's are enough to override the bg image then use that rather than the ul's id as well, since more tokens (id's and classes), the more work a browser does reading.
Possibly "background-image" is able to override the shorthand "background", which means you aren't repeating all the other stuff (background-position, background-repeat, etc)
Is there any chance we could see a live link to this page? It looks like it's online already.
Yeah, the site is live. I will PM you the link. AT the mean time I'm trying to make this CSS work on all browsers. Currently on Chrome, IE only the border shows. The gradient doesn't appear, is there a hack that can make it show in all browsers?
#homepageButtonsCont {
[B] background: -moz-linear-gradient(center bottom , #030202 8%, #4c4a4b 70%) repeat-x scroll left top transparent;[/B]
border: 1px solid #555555;
border-bottom-right-radius: 7px;
border-top-right-radius: 7px;
border-bottom-left-radius: 7px;
border-top-left-radius: 7px;
height: 117px;
clear: both;
padding: 6px 6px 6px 6px;
CSS gradients aren't really ready for prime time. They're still part of a draft specification, and in fact this is why the webkit version has many differences in syntax from the mozilla version (so you can get Safari and Chrome to show gradients using the -webkit version, but Opera and IE don't have implementations yet).
When draft stuff like this needs to be cross-browser, we devs usually resort to old-fashioned background images. It's an extra call to the server, but you can make gradients pretty small if they are crushed PNGs.
I had a gradient image but wanted to try the gradient codes instead for speed, etc. Someone suggested this site: http://www.colorzilla.com/gradient-editor which I tried. But everytime I try to save the file the CSS disappears.
In terms of the positioning, try these changes.
Increase the height in red:
#homepageButtonsCont ul li {
float: left;
margin-left: 8px;
margin-right: 4px;
padding-top: 105px;
position: relative;
width: 130px;
Remove this altogether:
#wblock a {
margin-top: -14px;
Add or change the bits in red here:
a.readMore {
background: url("http://www.playbookboards.com/187.gif") no-repeat scroll 0 50% transparent;
color: #CACACA;
display: block;

The southern pudu (POO-doo) belongs to the family Cervidae, which includes 43 species of deer in 16 genera. Pudu belong to the genus Pudu. There are two species of pudu: the southern pudu (Pudu puda), the species of pudu on exhibit at Woodland Park Zoo, which range throughout the lower Andes of Chile and southwest Argentina; and the northern pudu (Pudu mephistophiles) which range through the lower Andes of Ecuador, northern Peru and Columbia.
The pudu inhabits temperate rain forests in South Americ in dense underbrush and bamboo. Southern Chile, southwest Argentina, Chiloé Island, and northwest South America are home to the deer. The southern pudu species is found in the slope of the Southern Andes from sea level to 2,000 meters (6,600 ft). The climate of the pudu's habitat is composed of two main seasons: a damp, moderate winter and an arid summer. Annual precipitation in these areas of Argentina and Chile ranges from 2 to 4 meters (6.6 to 13 ft).
14-18 inches (36-46 cm) high at the shoulder.
14-30 pounds (6.4-13.6 kg)
Life span in the wild is estimated at 12-14 years; southern pudu live in zoos about 15 years.
In the wild: Herbaceous vegetation including bamboo, leaves, bark, twigs, buds, blossoms, fruit and berries. At the zoo: Alfalfa, leafeater biscuits, herbivore pellets, some fruits and vegetables and browse.
Females (does) become sexually mature as early as 1 year. Although males (bucks) reach sexual maturity shortly after females, they often don't breed until 18-24 months of age when they become large and seasoned enough to successfully compete for females with other mature male pudus. Southern pudu mate in the fall and give birth in the spring (November-January in the southern hemisphere). Gestation is approximately seven months. Females usually bear a single fawn weighing about 29 ounces (822 g).
A fawn usually remains hidden for a number of days after birth, only emerging to suckle when the mother visits. After a few weeks, the fawn joins its mother in her normal range. Young stay with their mother for eight to 12 months. Male pudu do not contribute to the rearing of young. Young southern pudu lose their white spots after about 3 to 5 months of age. At 8 months, males begin growing their first spike antlers which eventually reach 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) in length when they are 7 years old.
The southern pudu, also called by the Chilean venadito, is the second smallest deer in the world. The northern pudu is the smallest deer. With its very short legs and small, low-slung body, the southern pudu can easily move through dense vegetation and among rocks to escape predators. Predators include puma, fox and domestic dogs. When pursued, southern pudu run in a zigzag pattern and will climb trunks of trees that are leaning over streams or bluffs to escape their pursuer.
In the wild, southern pudu are primarily normally active at twilight and during the night. The live in dense underbrush and bamboo thickets. Pudus tend to live alone or in pairs. These deer are almost never found in groups of more than three animals. Scent marking is an important mode of communication. More common among males than females, scent marking is accomplished by secretions from the preorbital and frontal scent glands, as well as by urination and defecation in specific sites. Scent glands are sacs that open on the skin surface and discharge a strong-smelling secretion. Nearly all deer species posses these scent glands. One theory explaining why deer possess these glands is that the scent, when spread on trees or leaves, enables other deer to recognize their presence and marks their territory.
Woodland Park Zoo's southern pudu are located near the red pandas and cranes in the Temperate Forest. Relatively little is known about pudu in the wild. By studying them at Woodland Park Zoo, we may answer questions about these deer and contribute to their survival in the wild.
The southern pudu is an endangered species. Their future in the wild remains uncertain. As their natural habitat is diminished due to overpopulation, clearing of land for agriculture, logging, hunting and other human activities. Relatively little is known about pudu in the wild. By studying them at Woodland Park Zoo, we may answer questions about these deer and contribute to their survival in the wild.
The effort to save threatened and endangered species requires cooperation and support at the international, national, regional and individual levels. You can help in this cause. Join and become active in Woodland Park zoo and other conservation organizations of your choice. Please do not buy products made from wild animal parts. Contact your elected representatives and express your views about conservation of endangered species and wild habitats.

A new look . . . maybe
It was pointed out to me, by two people, that a.) the blog could use some snapping up and b.) posting a promo for $LINUX_EXPO, complete with .jpg, is playing havoc with RSS feeds.
So I'm going to take the advice of both, especially Allison Chaiken's advice on the RSS feed (thanks, Allison), and change things up a bit.
What do you think? Keep this theme or go back to the Kubrick/Contempt based blue theme?

I like both. As to the ad playing havoc with RSS, how about placing the ad at the bottom of the page?

I'll follow you anywhere, unless you fill the space with tons of little pictographs.
Now you need to clean up that Blogroll, it is way out of date.
Peace, Bob

I agree with amenditman, I don't mind the Linux Event "ads", they remind me of what I'm missing, but perhaps placing it at the bottom of the content would be nicer?
On the Blog, you could set up an HTML Widget on the right side and promote the Event(s) you want, statically.

Oh and I know you're on wordpress.com so I think you can't use many WordPress Plugins, but there's a plugin that lets you slap something at the end or beginning of RSS feeds in a way that won't show up on the blog itself.

I'm not a person who cares much about looks. (I realized tonight that my shirt was unbuttoned most of the way, which I'm sure that people thought all today was inappropriately flirtatious, but actually it's because I forgot to button it.) However, I look forward to your thoughtful blog entries being more easily sharable and look forward to doing so.
Still using KDE on F14, but looking forward to upcoming F16-KDE upgrade.
