Kristena and Ryan were married outside on Grand Newport Plaza followed by a reception inside Celebrations in Costa Mesa, Calif. on November 2. Fun fact: The bride is also our very own Apple Blossom from Bridal Buds! "My husband and I fell in love with it as soon as we toured the grounds," Kristena said. "I think the one thing about it was that it was unique, and we loved that we could have the ceremony and reception in one place without having our guests travel." She wore a sweetheart ruffled ball gown, accessorized with a jeweled sash and pair of black Badgley Mischka petal t-strap high heels, while the groom wore a black tuxedo, accessorized with a white tie. A favorite moment? "The first look!" she said. "When I came down the staircase and saw my husband standing there waiting for me, I was so excited. Seeing his expression was worth all the nerves and craziness up to that point." Following the nuptials, guests were asked to fill out "We Say" advice cards, tables were decorated with black linens and red roses centerpieces, and a candy bar was filled with taffy, gummies, cake pops, and chocolates, which also doubled as favors. "It was the perfect item for them to take home with them after the night," Kristena said.

He almost went a full year without any health problems, but now Frankie Muniz revealed he suffered another mini-stroke.
On Monday (November 25), the "Malcolm in the Middle" star took to his Twitter account and shared the troubling news to his followers writing, "Almost a year to the day, I experienced another stroke. Hopefully that will be the last. Miserable."
As the nation tuned in to hear President Obama's plans for the country, stars took to Twitter to share their thoughts on Tuesday night's (February 12) "State of the Union" address.
With the Commander-In-Chief covering a wide variety of topics during his annual speech, celebs offered up some serious, but also funny observations on the things that caught their attention.
It's rather unusual for folks his age to suffer strokes, so when Frankie Muniz was hospitalized due to a mini-stroke it was all a bit confusing.
According to a report, the "Malcolm in the Middle" star was taken to an Arizona emergency room this past Friday (November 30) when his friends observed him "acting really weird."
Making the most of the midweek evening, the cast of "John Carter" gathered together at the Los Angeles premiere of their upcoming motion picture on Wednesday (February 22).
Taylor Kitsch, Bryan Cranston, Willem DaFoe, Lynn Collins, and James Purefoy all showed up at the Regent LA Live Theatre to greet fans and pose for pictures before heading into the screening.
Looking as if they've totally patched things up since a domestic incident earlier this year, Frankie Muniz has gotten engaged to marry Elycia Marie Turnbow.
The former "Malcolm In the Middle" star recently popped the question to his longtime publicist girlfriend - with Miss Turnbow giving a resounding "yes".
Relationships can be tricky, especially when held under the media microscope, and Frankie Muniz cleared up some misconceptions about a recent argument he had with his lady.
The "Malcolm in the Middle" actor recently engaged in an altercation with Elycia Turnbow, though he says it really wasn't a big deal.
Coming in as quite the shocking report, Frankie Muniz is alleged to have recently gotten into an intense fight with his girlfriend over the weekend.
According to TMZ, the "Malcolm in the Middle" star and Elycia Turnbow were arguing about "prior relationships" when Muniz suddenly put a loaded gun to his head and later punched her.

When working with couples, I find that people get into bad habits and use short hand communication that gets them into trouble. We also at times develop expectations of one another, that sometimes using a counselor can help clarify communication and reinforce what has been going right. Some of the biggest, but often not the hardest to remedy are problems with childraising, money and long term goals.

if you are using propietary driver, you must first uninstall radeon driver (if aplicable), and blacklist it. Then disable KMS and then install propietary driver. As far as I know, ATI drivers are not compatible with KMS (Kernem Mode Setting, this means modeset=0, or nomodeset).
It's very important to forget a little bit about the Windows world..Just forget it and keep in mind that you are in linux world, nothing here is automatic or taken for granted. If you are to install a driver of any device, you need to unsinstall the driver used at the moment.

Topic: My dad just diagnosed
My dad (69) was just diagnosed with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. We learned at Mayo Clinic Tuesday that the entire left lobe of his liver is taken over by a multinodal mass, and there are 5-6 masses in his right lobe. There is some evidence of lymph node involvement, and there are masses on his adrenal gland that may or may not be cancer also. The surgeon at Mayo (Dr. Nagorney) told us it is inoperable, and that chemo in 7 of 10 cases would not have any positive effect. I've been readintg a lot of the family blogs here, and I don't think my dad is emotionally or mentally capable of handling chemo. He is not in any pain, but is very fatigued at times. His appetite is down, and he has lost about 30 pounds over the past 4 months or so, although he also had pluersy and food poisoning during that period. The doctor said he has between 6 and 12 months left. He also has Type II diabetes.
My mom and I don't know what to do next. My dad has decided not to do any chemo, which we think is the right decision for him. He still has a relatively normal life right now - he can drive around town, take care of himself, and even goes to the gym. He doesn't want to spend the last year of his life sick from the chemo.
This site has been such an enormous help to me - I am so grateful to all of you for it. My mom and I are wondering, since my dad is not going to do chemo, what to do next. Should he see his regular doctor to monitor the cancer, or a gastroenterologist, or an oncologist? Should he have more tests/scans done periodically even with no chemo? Is there anything else we can do to make sure he is pain-free and living a relatively normal life as long as possible? What is the progression of this cancer like? Are there any family blogs for people who have chosen not to do the chemo? Any insight you all could give us would be enormously helpful. Thank you.

RIALTO - The City Council may declare a fiscal emergency Tuesday in order to ask voters to extend a tax on utility use that officials say is necessary to prevent severe cuts in public safety and other city services.
The tax now adds 8 percent to ratepayers' costs, bringing Rialto $11 million - more than 22 percent of the general fund. The election would be March 5, 2013, requiring a declaration of fiscal emergency because that's not a regularly scheduled election.
Voting in the regular June election - the same month the utility users tax is set to expire - wouldn't give city staffers enough time to lay off workers, which would be necessary if voters reject the tax, according to a report by George Harris, the city's director of administrative and community services.
The city is in a fiscal emergency because of declining revenues for each of the past six fiscal years and rising costs, combined with voters' Nov. 6 rejection of a proposed tax hike on petroleum companies in the city, Harris wrote.
Rialto has been deficit spending since 2008 and would exhaust its reserves in fiscal year 2013-14 if spending continued at the same level without the utility users tax. Added to a structural deficit, the loss of the tax would bring the General Fund shortfall to $21million, according to city documents.
The tax was first passed as a temporary measure in 2003. If they decide to extend it, council members must also decide how many years to add.

Jennifer Lopez talks Chris Brown collaboration
Listen to Jennifer Lopez on iHeartRadio | Listen to Chris Brown on iHeartRadio
Jennifer Lopez is opening up about her recent studio session with Chris Brown. Last month J. Lo posted a picture of herself in the studio with Brown, but at the time it was not known what exactly the pair were working on together.
Now, Lopez tells "Extra" that their recent stint in the studio consisted of a lengthy song writing session. Lopez says she and Brown were working on "getting that 'Jenny From the Block' flavor back," referring to Lopez's 2002 hit "Jenny From the Block."
Apparently, the session was fruitful and the pair came up with a bunch of ideas. Lopez also reveals that she and Brown have talked about doing a duet for Brown's upcoming album, "X."
Jennifer Lopez is gearing up to release her first single from her upcoming eighth album. "Live It Up" featuring Pitbull is set to hit airwaves on May 8th.

Needless to say, the NRA is now walking that back.

You're supposed to put your adapter in monitor mode before using airodump-ng:Code:airmon-ng start wlan1Code:airodump-ng mon0
I have installed Backtrack 5 to my hard drive in dual boot with Windows Xp. I am completely new to Linux so be easy on me please. The problem I am having is with a USB network card.
It is a Belkin F5D8053.
If I type in 'airmon-ng' it shows as 'interface: wlan1 Chipset: RTL8187 Driver: r8187'
If I run 'airodump-ng wlan1' I get the 'ioctl(SIOCSIFFLAGS) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable' error. I did some research and found a post that said:
*Network interface (or anything else on the pci bus) says "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable"
*No IRQ assigned to the device, check /proc/pci (irq says 0)
*Enter the bios setup (F1 or Del on boot), disable the option 'Plug n Play OS'.
*This will make your bios set up IRQs for you.
In my bios settings there is no way to disable Plug n Play OS, not a option for it.
Any other clues?
I also have a Edimax EW-7108PCg PCI card that works fine. But would like to use the Belkin.
I am using a older Compaq Presario 2199us laptop
You're supposed to put your adapter in monitor mode before using airodump-ng:Code:airmon-ng start wlan1Code:airodump-ng mon0
By the way the second command does not need to end with 'mon0'.
Be aware that yor system depending on the driver and some configuration will be able either to set monitor-Mode to mon1 or wlan1 or at0 or whatever.
To be 100% sure you should check the output of 'airmon-ng start wlan1' (in case wlan1 is the desired card, you can check the cards by hitting up 'iwconfig' or 'ifconfig' though I'd recomend to use the second one cause due to some not very useful flags that were used while compiling the kernel iwtools seem to be disabled) that will say something like either:
'wlan1 (driver here) - Monitor mode enabled' - What tells you that it is enabled on the same interface
'wlan1 (driver here) -
monitor mode enabled on mon0' - What tells you that a virtual interface named mon0 was created. In this case just act like Snayler said.
Ok, so i type in "airmon-ng start wlan1"
I get:
Found1 processed that could cause trouble, Ect. Ect.
PID Name
1495 dhclient3
Interface...........Chipset .............Driver
wlan1............... RTL8187............r8187SIOCSIFFAGS: Resources temporarily unavailable
(monitor mode enabled)
I kill process 1495 and run airmon-ng start wlan1 and get the same output without the process warning
what am I doing wrong?
Also, if I go to Kinfocenter under Network Information/Network Interfaces all that is listed is 'lo'.
Under device information/USB devices the Belkin card is listed.
Have you tried running "ifconfig wlan1 up" before running airmon-ng?
I get a error when trying that command.
I got my Alfa AWUS036H today so problem solved, but would have been nice to know why it wouldn't work.
Try to run "dmesg" after connecting the USB adapter, then check for errors.
When I run 'dmesg' I get the following.

My girlfriend took me to Barbuto for my birthday last night. We were very impressed.
Try the braised rabbit or braised veal. Both were killer.
The torta dessert is a perfect capper. And the chocolate pudding, which was more of a ganache, was also terrific.
Just a very impressive dinner on a Sunday night. Go there and enjoy yourself.
NEVER GOT A TABLE ... Went next door instead. Useless and rude bartender.11/03/2008
Went this past Saturday. Arrived at 930pm for a 945pm reservation. Still no table after an hour and hostesses had nothing but stock phrases an an explanation.
Needless to say, we left WITHOUT EATING mainly because the bartender was inattentive and rude. When I called him out on it, there was No ""I'm sorry"" nor ""This one's on me"". Frankly, he didn't seem to care one bit. All we got was $106 bill for what was arguably good wine but HORRIBLE SERVICE. We went to Tortilla Flats instead and had a great time.
Great food, nice staff07/04/2008
I had a great dinner there with friends the other night. We ordered a bunch of thins to share and had a nice bottle of rose. The waitress was very nice and the service was great. I would go back and try their ever changing menu again.
Great vibe, food overrated03/29/2008
Great scene and location but food surprisingly disappointing! First two visits, the food was amazing. Last two in the past 2 months were disappointing. if you are looking for great flavor and consistency, go elsewhere. Our waitress suggested the appetizers which were far less interesting and enjoyable compared to how they were described. The octopus salad was grossly overcooked (they still charged us for it eventhough we didn't touch it and returned it). The waiter recommended a wine after we described what we were looking for. Way off. Thank goodness for the next waitress who not only suggested a far better 2nd bottle of wine (in the same price range) but also took off the salad off of our bill after we asked. The pastas were superior (but not by much) to the fish dishes were not interesting whatsoever. Overall, outstanding vibe/scene; good for dates. But if you are looking for great food, I would pass immediately relative to the past!!
Famous Roast Chicken - overrated01/22/2008
Crowded, noisey. Waited 25 minutes for the ""famous"" chicken. It came with nothing. Tender and juicy but with little taste. Overpriced for chicken. Go there if you like the scene but skip the chicken.
always a great time10/10/2007
I have read the other reviews on here and it is almost like these people were eating somewhere else. I have eaten dinner and come for drinks many times and i have always had a great time. the food is always good, the wait staff always reccommended something tasty and the wine list....spectacular. i cant understand the negative reviews.....seriously this place has always been good to me.
Inconsistent service, good food, but lousy bar service, avoid busy nights, lunches are better06/20/2007
I have been coming to Barbuto for years. Lunches - terrific service, excellent food. Dinners, forget it.
I went on a hot Tuesday night, and though there were eight empty tables, we were told we would have to wait 30 minutes. Seemed odd. So, we went to the bar to have a drink while we waited. One bartender was there trying to service both the busy wait staff AND attend to his very packed bar. Not a good choice to aehv only one bartender on a busy night with that size bar. Who ever does scheduling should rethink summer evenings. This bartender, if in fact he was one and not some bar-back filling in... was doing a truly spectacular job at being the worst bartender ever. And I say this with sympathy because I have bartended and waitressed, and I understand that it is not an easy job. However, if you are good at what you do -ACKNOWLEDGE your custmers! We can see you are buy - but a nod, or a ""how are you? be right with you?"" goes A LONG way. Does he understand this is HIS bar, HIS customers that he should want to take care of so they come back to see him and TIP!?? Thats how it works! He is going to get better tips from his bar customers than from his waitstaff. I honestly wish I would have gotten his name, because I would have written him a personal letter. You have people at the bar with empty glasses, you have 2 people who have a half hour wait, who have now waited over 10 to 15 minutes for him to stop fiddling with the bread baskets and just ask what we would like! We finally got up and left. did not stay for dinner and went and spent our money elsewhere. Perhaps he is just the novice Tuesday night bartender - but the place was packed, and he was slowly plodding around tinkering with silverwear instead of serving his customers.
This says as much about Barbutos training of staff as it does about this particular bartender.
on a good note - when you can get served, the food is good.
OK, this isn't fair...05/23/2007
Reading these reviews made me realize that only the pretentious, jaded individuals make comments on citisearch, so I thought I would be one of the few who's not the same. I have been going to Barbuto for the past 3 years, since they opened practically, and at one point I went multiple times a week. I have had AMAZING MEALS, FREINDLY SERVICE, and love every dollar I have ever spent there. I've taken business associates, friends, and relatives and have always wowed everyone who ever has gone with me. Granted, I've been there so many times, that I can't say I haven't had ONE average meal, but trust me when I say that this place IS WORTH THE TRIP. It's a shame that only the few negative people might make others believe this place isn't worth the trip. Better for me on getting a reservation, though!!!
Don't let the garage door slam you in the head04/25/2007
I was very excited to take a client to your restaurant last night. I had made a reservation at 7pm, arrived on time and we were seated out side. We ordered our cocktails and the assorted cheeses. When it arrived the waiter told us that we needed to order immediately, which I found odd considering we had not even put a piece of cheese in our mouths. We ordered as he hovered over us, and than in the next 15 minutes the busboy tried 3 times to take our cheese away, Our meals were than brought to the table while we were still on our appetizers and the waiter told us we had""10 minutes to finish our dinner"". Shocked I asked him why? And he answered that, in 10 minutes they would be closing the garage door, and we would be the only ones left on the sidewalk. In exactly 10 minutes the doors were closed {although it was a beautiful evening} and we were left on the sidewalk peering into the restaurant like two miserable outcasts, trying to eat as fast as we could. We were than told if we wanted coffee or dessert we were to move to another table-but there were none available!! I was so embarrassed and insulted, that I paid the $150.00 check and left.
I eat out several nights a week with allot of my clients, and I have never experienced such rude demeaning behavior. With all the competition in New York for great dining, I will never return to your restaurant, and will let my clients and friends know that if they want to ""scarf a $150.00 meal down in 10 minutes, and have a garage door slammed in their faces -you certainly are the dining destination""!
Horrendous Service Mediocre Food (at best)03/19/2007
I would say it was one of the worst meals I have had in Manhattan in quite some time (regarldless of price). The waitress was incredibly rude and could not answer any questions. When I asked to have my order slightly modified I was told the kitchen gets too angry when she asks. I then spoke to the manager who was equally unhelpful. I was served raw/undercooked fish, someone else got fatty hangar steak. When I showed my fish to the waitress, she agreed it was undercooked and then was ready to walk away. When I asked her to take it away, she did not apologize or offer to bring me something else. We were left for large periods of time without anyone offering drinks, bread, dessert or other typical services. I had eaten there once before and things were slightly better but things have deteriorated considerably.

You've heard of armchair travel? These days it's not hard to go around the globe without leaving home. (There's probably an app for that.) But Sasha Martin wanted something a bit more active, something a bit more interactive. She developed Global Table Adventure so she and her family could travel around the world from their kitchen.
Going in alphabetical order, they are trying out the local dishes of every single country. (That's 195 countries, in case it's been a while since you got out of geography class.) Each week, they focus on a different country, starting on Tuesday with an overview of the cuisine to a meal review the following Monday (complete with thumbs up or down from toddler Ava). They are a little more than half-way through the alphabet with Mexico being on the menu this week.
Aside from great recipes and amazing photos, Global Table Adventure promotes cultural understanding and diversity by finding common ground through food. If the saying "the way to a person's heart is through the stomach" is true, then Sasha's family is building up a whole lot of love.
(Get ready for some food porn.)
How did you get the idea for Global Table Adventure? Have you always had a passion for food and travel?
It all seems so long ago now. Several things came together at once – I needed a creative outlet, my baby girl was just starting out on solids, and I was thinking about all the negative things happening around the world. At the most basic, I wanted better for myself, my family, and the world.
– For myself: I wanted a creative outlet that would help me out of my cooking rut. After moving to Tulsa, Oklahoma – after a lifetime of travel – I missed the food I grew up with – trying new dishes, new flavors. I am more landlocked in the Midwest than I've ever been before. Global Table Adventure has been a great way to continue learning and growing, while also being fortunate enough to stay home with my daughter.
– For my family: I wanted to find a way to get my impossibly picky husband to eat better, especially since we had a daughter about to start solids. Children mimic parents and I find that dinner can be a a big struggle if one parent refuses to try certain foods. I also wanted my daughter to learn to appreciate other cultures, other ways. By growing up with one meal from every country in the world, her mind will naturally be curious and open.
– For the world: The news would have you believe that there is nothing but war, poverty, and tragedy in the world. With so much focus on the negative, people tend to feel divided by their differences, instead of united by their similarities. I believe that Global Table Adventure's uplifting focus on the food and culture of countries around the world will help people appreciate and come together over our common humanity. This is why I am dedicated to only sharing positive stories; there's enough people focusing on the negative.
(Think of me as the world's cheerleader!)
Take us through a typical week of exploring each country.
Each week I research and prepare to cook the food from a new country. Typically I cook all the food on one day, but sometimes I will spread it out over the weekend, especially if a breakfast dish is involved.
I only make recipes with ingredients that I can find locally. I feel that is important to my mission, which is to encourage other people to try as much food as they can from other parts of the world. If I make this an expensive, online mail-order experience, that defeats the purpose. Tulsa has a fairly good selection of international markets, so we haven't had to cancel any recipe plans to date.
Did you have any challenges in getting your family on board? Your husband is affectionately known as Mr. Picky, and when you started this project, your daughter was only about 6 months old.
Yes! (Did I say that too loudly?) Yes. My husband is known as Mr. Picky for good reason. He was very skeptical about anything beyond meat and potatoes when I met him. He didn't even know what an eggplant was. He'd never had fresh spinach! Thankfully, my daughter hasn't been as resistant as we began this project her first month of eating solids. It is all she's known (although she does still have picky moments, like any toddler). Now I can say that everyone is on board, come what may – and strange tastes are now part of the fun- they give us something to talk about!
I think the key is to think of food as an adventure, not an attack. Also – I always tell my husband – if an entire country eats it, how bad can it be?
You're a little more than half way through the alphabet. What has been your favorite dish so far? Least favorite? Are you looking forward to a particular country?
That's like asking me to pick a favorite and least favorite child! I don't think I can…. but I will say that I have struggled to make several dishes well. My biggest challenges have been any recipes involving yucca. I'm not sure what it is about that tuber, but I spent almost 2 years trying to cook it without much luck (many, many countries around the world eat it). I finally broke the losing streak with yucca fries – a real winner! Phew.
I always look forward to the foods of small countries – places I've never heard of. I love gaining that awareness – it is so fun!
With 195 countries, this project will take more than 3 years from start to finish. How are you able to keep your family's enthusiasm high?
Now that the initial excitement of a new adventure has worn off (2 years into the project), I think the key is to make the experience fun. For example, instead of just trying a new type of tea, make it a tea party. Having friends over also makes it fun. Finally, getting their hands dirty (especially my toddler) makes them more likely to be interested in the dish. For example, Ava refused to try sushi until she helped make the roll for our Japanese Global Table. She's never looked back!
Do you have any tips for someone who'd like to undertake a Global Table Adventure of their own?
Go for it! There are thousands of folks who have decided to set a Global Table with their families. I've called them my Knights of the Global Table. They are having a blast and learning a ton in the process. My best advice is don't try to do too much at once. Each week you can try something from a different continent by simply browsing our interactive map. You could even try a monthly potluck with friends, if you're single or without a big family to try dishes out on.
What's the most adventurous dish you've eaten? Have you ever tried a themed meal or party?

We are what we search for. Whether that's a hopeful pronouncement or a troubling one, I'm not sure yet. I'm leaning toward the latter.
This is of course the time of year when the major data collection machines -- better known to us mere mortals as search engines and social networks -- publish their year-end summaries.
[ For a humorous take on the tech industry's shenanigans, subscribe to Robert X. Cringely's Notes from the Underground newsletter and follow Cringely on Twitter. | Check out InfoWorld TechBrief, your source for quick, smart views on the news you'll be talking about -- subscribe today. ]
My summary of their summaries: 2013 was a good year to be a former Disney princess turned bad girl or a dead celebrity. For the rest of us, not so much.
Down the YouTube
YouTube served up two lists for 2013: its most popular music videos and its top "trending" ones, half of which are also music videos. (If someone out there can explain the difference between trending and popular, I'm all ears.) Regarding the music portion, South Korean sensation Psy scored the top slot with "Gentleman M/V," a video so awful I actually started to miss "Gangnum Style." But thank God for Psy, because otherwise the top two music videos for 2013 would both be from Miley Cyrus: "Wrecking Ball" and "We Can't Stop" (but we really wish you would).
The top two trending YouTube videos both hail from Norway: "What Does the Fox Say?" by pop band Ylvis (not to be confused -- ever -- with Elvis), plus yet another version of "Harlem Shake," this one performed by a Norwegian Army platoon. Yes, Norway has an army. No, we don't care what the fox says, thank you. But apparently somebody does; that truly insipid video was watched nearly 290 million times.
Kinda makes you long for a zombie apocalypse, doesn't it?
The year in Yahoo
Yahoo also served up its list of top search terms for 2013, this one dominated by celebrities. Number one on the hit parade? Yes, the gal who made the term "twerking" mainstream. Proving that outrageousness gets you attention, if not critical adulation, Cyrus wrested the top spot from a preggers Kim Kardashian. Also in the top 10: Selena Gomez, Kate Upton, Amanda Bynes, and Justin Bieber. At age 27 (67 in Mouse years) Bynes is the oldest of that crowd by six years.
Yahoo also provided a look back through its top searches to the year 2001. The winner by a landslide: Miley Cyrus's spiritual godmother, Britney Spears, who snagged the top spot four times in 13 years. In the process, she also proved what most of us have already suspected: Yahoo's audience is primarily teenage girls and dirty old men.


text: I know this one may sound a bit unlikely, as all MMA promotions are competing to be the UFC of the country, however we all must realise by now that a lot of attempts that single MMA promotions are doing to get the sport regulated and funded by the government ends up getting nowhere, but if all the major promotions got together, like Cage Warriors, BAMMA and UCMMA, then there will be more money in the pot to spend towards our cause. Plus seeing you all working in unity may get the politicians in this country will realise that this is a big thing. They haven't banned the sport, which means there must be grounds that protects the sport right now from being banned, but we need to get it across to the MPs that this is a serious sport, and if the same implications are applied as the Yanks have it, then we know we are on a winning case. Just like what the UFC is doing in New York, we need to educate these people, and working together, funding as much as your previous attempts will mean that the money will be there to do so.

Hi !
My mind is to buy TP-LINK WN321G USB WiFi Adapter for cracking wifi's.
I wonder if there is someone who is using this adapter too in order to give me some opinions about:
1.Is it a good wifi usb adaptor ?
2.What is the perimeter area covered by this adapter ?
3.Its signal will go outside the room or i should go outside the room in order to catch some signals ? (I know this sounds stupid but this is what a vendor said to me about this card: that it is possible to not catch any signal if i am in my room).
Thanks !

- Shakespeare: playwright, poet, armchair astronomer.

The first is quite how difficult it is to describe faces … We might say that a mouth is generous, or eyes deep-set, or cheeks acne-scarred, but when set beside the living, breathing, infinitely subtle interplay of inner thought, outward reaction and the nexus of superimposed cultural conventions, it tells us next to nothing about what a person really looks like."

Paternos Blast Freeh Report as 'Rush to Injustice'
(NEWSER) – Joe Paterno's family is trying to get the last word in on the tarnished legacy of the legendary Penn State coach, releasing this morning a report of their own that blasts the findings of the Freeh Report.
Calling Louis Freeh's conclusion that Paterno concealed Jerry Sandusky's sex abuse of children "fundamentally flawed" and "a rush to injustice," the report appeared onPaterno.com and was billed as an exhaustive response that broke more than a year of silence.
The team reviewing Freeh's work included former US Attorney General and Pennsylvania Gov. Dick Thornburgh, an FBI profiler, and others. Freeh has responded, saying he respects the family's right "to shape the legacy of Joe Paterno," but maintains that Paterno should have done more.
