What inspired you to take up mixed martial arts?
My Answer is pretty simple i wanted to impress people this was a canny few years ago so took part in a event thinking boxing would get me the W how wrong was i i did ok then got taken apart on the ground in the second. Was probs the most humble experience ive had to date fight was pro rules with no elbows on the ground. so after checking gyms out and taking a while to find a place i could call home and feel accepted i bit the Bullet and made friends and took the sponge approach which means at the gym thinking ok all you guys and girl know way more then me but im here to learn anything you teach me i will try practise even when i got home i used to practise on a taken down punch bag in my living room. Its been a Rocky road but im still here trying to improve myself at each chance i get.
Ive accepted im not good enough to be a big name in the uk but now its all about trying to better myself as much as i can and been involved in something i would never have thought i would have the confidence to do.
The wanted to impress others looks silly i know but at least i have the balls to be honest lol. I was 17 with not a clue in the world about the sport only that id seen it on the internet and it looked kool. back then due to be been very badly bullied as a child i felt i had a point to prove which was totally the wrong way to go about it live and learn. That is now long gone now everything i do to do with mma is to better myself and try in any small way i can support others at the gym.

His father, the actor Robert Earl Jones, left his family before James Earl Jones was born, and the youth was raised largely by his grandparents in Michigan. He attended the University of Michigan (B.A., 1953), majoring in drama, and, after a brief stint in the U.S. Army, went to New York City, studying at the American Theatre Wing with Lee Strasberg. He acted in his first Off-Broadway production in 1957 and subsequently with the New York Shakespeare Festival in 1961–73. He won a Tony Award for his boxer role in Howard Sackler's The Great White Hope (1968) and later starred in the film version (1970). He received critical acclaim for the two-character stage play Paul Robeson (1978) and in the title role of Othello (1981), opposite Christopher Plummer's Iago (1981–82). In 1987 Jones starred in the Broadway premiere of August Wilson's Fences. His later roles on Broadway credits include Big Daddy in a 2008 production of Tennessee Williams's Cat on a Hot Tin Roof that featured an all-black cast and Hoke Colburn in , as well as productions of Driving Miss Daisy (2010–11)2010) and Gore Vidal's The Best Man (2012).
A part in the film Dr. Strangelove (1964) began a prolific career in pictures for Jones, whose roles included an evil ruler in the fantasy film Conan the Barbarian (1982), a coal miner fighting for the right to form a union in John Sayles's Matewan (1987), and an African king who lets his son (played by Eddie Murphy) travel to the United States in the comedy Coming to America (1988). He appeared as Admiral James Greer in the film adaptations of Tom Clancy's novels about CIA agent Jack Ryan: The Hunt for Red October (1990), Patriot Games (1992), and Clear and Present Danger (1994). In 1995 he portrayed the Rev. Stephen Kumalo in the film version of Alan Paton's classic novel Cry, the Beloved Country. Jones next starred opposite Robert Duvall in A Family Thing (1996). His big-screen appearances diminished in the 21st century, however. He received an honorary Academy Award in 2011.
Known for his deep, resonant voice, Jones was cast in many voice-over roles in television advertising and in films, both as a narrator and for animated characters. He is perhaps best known for giving voice to the villain Darth Vader in the Star Wars series of movies, which began in 1977. In 1994 he provided the voice of the wise Mufasa in Disney's The Lion King. Jones's television work also includes a role as a private detective in Gabriel's Fire (1990–91; retitled Pros and Cons, 1991–92), for which he won an Emmy Award for outstanding lead actor in a drama series.

Two arrests in Mt. Tabor Park demonstration
During a demonstratrion Friday at Mt. Tabor Park two people were arrested.
Demonstrators want Portland to keep open water reservoirs. The federal government is requiring the city to cover the reservoirs or close them.
Portland Police arrested one man after he violated park rules and refused to leave after being excluded by park officials.
66-year-old Michael Meo was arrested and charged with Criminal Trespass in the Second Degree and booked into the Multnomah County Jail.
Meo was erecting signs in the park against park rules and was issued an exclusion. Meo then refused to vacate the park after being excluded by park officials.
Later Friday night, Portland Police officers arrested a man who pitched a tent in Mt. Tabor park. Erecting a structure in the park is a violation of park rules.
42-year-old Troy Anthony Thompson was arrested and booked into the Multnomah County Jail on a charge of Interfering with a Police Officer.
Prior to the demonstration, the City of Portland Parks and Recreation Department issued the following statement:
Portland Parks & Recreation and the Portland Water Bureau expect a peaceful, unpermitted demonstration on Friday, July 12 at historic Mt. Tabor Park, located at SE 60th Avenue and SE Salmon Street. The bureaus are aware that demonstrators plan to gather at 5:00 p.m.
Demonstrators are concerned about a federal mandate from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that requires the City of Portland to cover its drinking water reservoirs to protect against any contamination.
Since 2006, the City has repeatedly sought to delay or avoid the LT2 mandate, but a federal court and the Oregon Health Authority have consistently rejected these appeals. Faced with a lack of further legal options and with deadlines looming, the City is moving forward with compliance, which includes disconnecting Mt. Tabor open-air reservoirs once new enclosed reservoirs at Powell Butte and Kelly Butte are completed. The deadline to disconnect the Mt. Tabor reservoirs is Dec. 31, 2015. A June 2013 statement with more information on the City's fight against LT2 can be found here.
"We welcome people who wish to assemble peacefully and exercise their first amendment rights," stated Mayor Charlie Hales. "We ask that demonstrators who come to Mt. Tabor to express their views also respect the park and follow park rules, so that everyone can enjoy it safely.
"I want to be clear that the City's primary responsibility must be to protect the safety of our drinking water. The water in Mt. Tabor's open reservoirs goes directly to half of Portland's households, and we will take all necessary steps to keep it safe."
Portland Parks & Recreation is responsible for the protection and public enjoyment of our parks. The Parks bureau and Portland police have reached out to organizers of the planned demonstration. While organizers have refused to secure a permit for the event, the demonstration is expected to be peaceful. Portland Parks & Recreation will be educating demonstrators on park rules and good stewardship of our public land and its vegetation. Mt. Tabor Park opens at 5:00 a.m. and closes at 12:00 a.m.
"Portland Parks & Recreation and the members of the City Council support free speech activities," says Portland Parks Commissioner Amanda Fritz. "Those activities must be balanced with every Portlander's right to access clean and safe parks in every neighborhood including Mt. Tabor.
"PP&R is the steward of these public lands and it is our responsibility to protect the park and its natural areas. I am hoping for a peaceful event where people exercise their right to free expression mindful of the need to maintain our parks and water resources for the benefit of all Portlanders. I ask that demonstrators respect the special day for the couples holding weddings in the park this weekend. I hope Mt. Tabor Park, with its historic reservoirs and magnificent views, will continue to be a great location for weddings and other events for many generations to come."
PP&R asks all visitors to help us to be good stewards of the park by adhering to applicable rules including but not limited to:
• No camping (City Code 14A.50.020)
• No structures are allowed without a permit (City Code 14A.50.050 and 20.12.080)
• Properly dispose of any trash (City Code 20.12.090)
• Protect the park and park vegetation (City Code 20.12.100)
• Keep your dogs on-leash except in designated off-leash areas; please dispose of dog waste properly (City Code 20.12.140)
• Protect Portland's drinking water supply; do not throw or deposit anything into any of the reservoirs (City Code 14A.50.130)
• Please adhere to park hours. No one shall be in Mt. Tabor during the hours of park closure; the park will be closed from 12:01 a.m. to 5 a.m. (20.12.210)

Herald staff
On May 31, Washington State Patrol trooper Sean O'Connell became the 12th Snohomish County law enforcement officer to die in the line of duty since 1902. More than 2,200 people attended his funeral Thursday at Comcast Arena. Here's a look at the traditions and local history of fallen law officers.
O'Connell, 38, died after an on-duty motorcycle collision while working traffic control related to the Skagit River bridge collapse. The Marysville-area man was a 16-year veteran of the State Patrol. His family and friends described the trooper as a loving, personable man with a whacky sense of humor. He brought them joy. He was dedicated to his children and his job.
O'Connell's memorial featured staples from civic ceremonies, including a color guard and a motorcade. Because it was a law enforcement service, it also incorporated traditions that have been used to recognize warriors since ancient times, including pipes and drums and a riderless horse, with boots placed backward in the stirrups, symbolizing the journey away from loved ones.
The State Patrol sought to explain the meaning behind some of the ways they sought to honor O'Connell.
The fallen trooper and his casket were placed under ceremonial guard from the time of his death and that watch was maintained through the service, patrol spokesman Bob Calkins said.
His family was accompanied into the event through a Cordon of Honor. The ranks of uniformed officers were there to show respect, but also to provide a measure of privacy for mourners during a difficult time.
A key part of the service, unique to the State Patrol, was attaching a gold streamer with O'Connell's name to the agency flag.
In lieu of a 21-gun salute, another military tradition, the indoor service featured a bell being rung 21 times. Near the end of the ceremony a final radio call was broadcast, using O'Connell's radio number, "Mary 1076." It went unanswered.
O'Connell joins 12 men and one woman from Snohomish County, each honored at the Washington State Law Enforcement Memorial.
Snohomish County's other fallen officersJuly 5, 1902 — Everett police detective Charles Raymond was ambushed near Bothell. He was helping the sheriff's office hunt Harry Tracy, an escaped convict from Oregon. Tracy reportedly killed a half-dozen lawmen before being brought down near Spokane. Raymond was described in a local news account as "one of the most efficient officers of the Everett force."
Nov. 5, 1916 — Jefferson Beard and Charles O. Curtiss were fatally shot in the gun battle known as the Everett Massacre. Both had been deputized by then-Sheriff Donald McRae to repel a boatload of labor protesters from Seattle. Beard had worked in law enforcement; it's less clear for Curtiss (whose name is spelled differently in some accounts).
Nov. 23, 1920 — Jack Fox, an Everett police detective, was fatally shot on Colby Avenue while trying to arrest a robber.
March 2, 1927 — Percy Z. Brewster, Sultan's town marshal, was fatally shot while placing an inmate in the town jail. Edward Sickles was convicted and sentenced to hang. He escaped from the county jail, and a posse tracked him to a shack near Granite Falls. He died from multiple gunshots.
Dec. 29, 1960 — State trooper Wesley H. Whittenberg was fatally struck by a car while directing traffic around a crash along Highway 99 at the Stillaguamish River.
Feb. 5, 1966 — Marysville police officer William D. Arndt was fatally shot by a troubled 17-year-old boy.
Dec. 18, 1984 — Seattle police officer Nicholas Davis was fatally shot when he confronted a man who left a restaurant without paying. Davis lived in Snohomish County.
Aug. 15, 1994 — Sheriff's Sgt. Jim Kinard was ambushed by an ex-con, who minutes earlier had killed a blind man. Charles Finch was sentenced to die but won a new sentencing trial on appeal. He later died from a fatal jump at the county jail.
July 15, 1999 — Everett police officer Brian DiBucci fell from the U.S. 2 trestle while assisting in a felony traffic stop.
Sept. 12, 2006 — Brier officer Edwanton "Eddie" Thomas died from a heart attack while struggling with a man who was having a diabetic reaction.
Oct. 31, 2009 — Seattle police officer Timothy Brenton was ambushed in his patrol car. He lived in Marysville.
Jan. 29, 2011 — Corrections officer Jayme Biendl was strangled at her post in the chapel of the Washington State Reformatory in Monroe. Her killer has been sentenced to death.
Note: This post has been updated to include information about the line-of-duty deaths of two Seattle police officers who lived in Snohomish County.

Sarah Darling is engaged!
Listen to Sarah Darling on iHeartRadio
Sarah Darling is engaged!
The country singer tells TheBoot.com that her British boyfriend James Muriel popped the question over the weekend, while they were vacationing in Key West, Florida. She says James' proposal "was so perfect because it was on the beach," and the Atlantic Ocean had been the biggest obstacle in their relationship.
Sarah adds that "the significance of the scene made it really romantic and sweet." While James now lives in Nashville, Darling admits that it "was very hard" when he was based in London. She explains that they would Skype and even did Skype cooking where they cooked dinner together, despite the difficulty of their six hour time difference.
Sarah says she met James through his father, Andrew, a songwriter who had been making frequent trips from London to Nashville. She explains that Andrew had tapped her to record a demo for him, and James worked on the session.
Sarah says she and James actually knew each other for years before they decided to start dating. Sarah says it was a trip to Paris that sealed the deal for her, and she knew James was the man she "wanted to be with forever."

I would just like to ask the forums opinion on this and if you think using those rules is playing with fire and a tragic accident waiting to happen.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That section 1 of the Act approved June 27, 1947 (61 Stat. 189), entitled "An Act authorizing certain agreements with respect to rights in helium-bearing gas lands in the Navajo Indian Reservation, New Mexico, and for other purposes", be and the same is hereby amended to read as follows:
"That the Secretary of the Interior, acting through the Bureau of Mines, and the Navajo Tribe of Indians are authorized to enter into an agreement dated December 1, 1945, entitled 'An agreement severing certain formations from oil and gas leases and substituting new leases as to those formations' and an 'Amending agreement', affecting lands in the Navajo Indian Reservation, New Mexico, copies of which are published in House of Representatives Document Numbered 212, Eightieth Congress, first session; and said agreements are ratified and approved. If said Navajo Tribe of Indians shall, after investigation, deem the total consideration payable to it by the United States pursuant to such agreement dated December 1, 1945, as amended, to be in any respect less than reasonable, fair, just, and equitable, said tribe shall be entitled within three years after the date of enactment of this Act to institute suit against the United States in the Court of

Claims for the recovery of such additional sum, if any, as may be necessary to compensate said tribe for the reasonable, fair, just, and equitable value of all right, interest, and property passing from said tribe to the United States under such agreement, as amended. Jurisdiction is hereby conferred upon the Court of Claims to hear and determine any suit so instituted and to enter final judgment against the United States therein for such sum, if any, in excess of the total consideration payable pursuant to such agreement, as amended, as such court may determine to be necessary to provide consideration in all respects reasonable, fair, just, and equitable: Provided, That interest shall be allowed on such sum at the rate of 4 per centum per annum from October 20, 1947, to the date of payment and no offsets shall be deducted by the court from any sum determined by the court to be a reasonable, fair, just, and equitable consideration for the right, interest, and property passing to the United States under and pursuant to said agreement of December 1, 1945, as amended, and the interest thereon: Provided further, That the foregoing provision relating to interest and offsets shall not extend to any other claim or claims asserted in any such suit, whether or not the same arise out of the subject matter of said agreement, but such other claim or claims, if any, shall be governed by the law relating to actions brought pursuant to title 28, United States Code, section 1505. Appellate review of any judgment so entered shall be in the same manner, and subject to the same limitations, as in the case of claims over which the Court of Claims has jurisdiction under section 1491 of title 28, United States Code.

No offsets shall be deducted by the court from any net sum, and the interest thereon, if any, that the court awards under this section.

William Styron in LettersBy William Styron
"A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end," explained William Styron in his 1954 Art of Fiction interview. "You live several lives while reading it. Its writer should, too." Such is the experience in reading Styron's Selected Letters, edited by Rose Styron, with R. Blakeslee Gilpin, and published this week. Alongside major cultural and political events of the latter half of the twentieth century are intimate accounts of family life, depression, writing, frustrations, and friendships.
Of his many lives, Styron may be best remembered in this office for his influence on the early years of The Paris Review. It is awfully fun to see those moments surface in his correspondence, and our selection was made with those moments in mind. Look for a new letter each day this week.
To Dorothy Parker
July 19, 1952 Paris, France
Honeybunch darling—the story is, I believe, coming along just dandy and my pretty much night and day work on it is the main reason I haven't written you before this. It is now between 11,000 and 12,000 words, which I figure is about two-thirds complete. It has some really good—fine—things in it so far, and I think it will be even better when it's finished. In fact I think I can say it has some of my best writing in it and will make stories by people like Hemingway and Turgenev pale in comparison. That sounds a bit like what Hemingway would say, doesn't it? Read More

I wouldn't have a problem with it.
Although I am someone who has a pretty relaxed stance on drug use in most sports.
I wouldn't have a problem with it.
Although I am someone who has a pretty relaxed stance on drug use in most sports.
Sherdog.com - The number one MMA site on the web today!
I ask as I'm curious as to whether people have a different stance based on whether they'd actually be likely to encounter someone who's juicing in the cage. Not like actually in the cage in front of everyone, but fight them in a cage. After they've been juicing. And not like with a blender and fruit. Like with da bad roidz.
I hate drug cheats.
When it comes to fighting it annoys me even more because of the injuries that can be occurred to the cheaters opponent.
You can't play at fighting, it's the toughest way to compete.
Anyone who has trained understands the bond you make with your training partners and when someone cheats against them it leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
Someone that knowingly enters into a fight and uses roids IMO is a complete cunt.
Team mates that turn a blind eye to it are scumbags also, it's not a practice that is acceptable under ANY circumstances.
Also it really pisses me off when a fighter who gets caught says it was to rehab some injury ect.
I think 99% of the time it's just an excuse and regardless of that fighters status (regional fighter or UFC) they would always be a cheat in my mind.
If you love fighting you can never really lose!!!!!
apart from the obvious looking bodybuilder , how can you tell some one is using 'Roids'
the answer is clearly no a proven drug cheat shouldnot just swap to another sport
They call me Tel. But its Mr. Tel to you!
Pride juice fights were awesome
roids dont give you special powers or secret weapons ... they can aid recovery or cutting
if you could get special powers from roids, I would want x ray vision
roids dont give you special powers or secret weapons ...
Then why would you take them?
People find convenient excuses when their caught. I don't understand why the attitude that it's perfectly acceptable to dope, artificially boost your test levels etc is so prominent in this sport.

I am trying to set up a facebook page for my school, and we have a few concerns about posting vs just like.
We are struggling to find out which would be better, as a post or like page.
Our reasoning behind setting it up will be for updates, reminders etc, however, our principal would like to give parents permission to write, but some of the parents fly off the handle and then calm down, and who knows what they will write when they are in these moods.
So I guess my questions are:
Can we set up the page so that when people post we can view it first?
If we set up as a like page, is that going to limit the parents who like it?
Open to suggestions and any answers,Sorry if it went on for too long I have never done this before.
Hi StaceyFitz. Welcome to the forums.
Can we set up the page so that when people post we can view it first?
This is more something you'd do on your own website. Facebook and similar sites are social media, where you don't have as much control over how people interact with the page. If you are afraid of what people might say, I'd suggest not putting up a page at all.
If we set up as a like page, is that going to limit the parents who like it?
Not sure what you mean by a Like page. You can set up a page on Facebook for a business or other organization. It is quite similar to a personal page. People can "Like it", comment on it, follow it etc.
check out the privacy settings, there are many settings you can take advantage of that will help you accomplish exactly what you are looking for..
I don't think there are limitations besides the actual amount of friends you have..
You want to control people or at least their visible actions. While that's a common thought it's simply no longer possible.
Whether or not you have your own page people can and will talk about you how they see fit. The question is whether or not you want a chance to be involved in that discussion, to rally your point of view, build up relationships and advocates. For most the choice is obviously yes.
But it's good to go into this with a healthy dose of reality and an understanding of what it means. Building a social page does increase the risk of a backlash and it does put it on what's seen as "your soil"... You will need to be tied to your page, have plans to cover various event types and rules to make sure that what's removed is done so for reasons people agree with. But again, moderating people out of the picture will do nothing to stop the comments, if anything it will just make them worse.
Plan for the bad but build for the good. Most posts will be positive and the ability to communicate with your school's community, well that's huge.
Why not use most, you should play about with the settings - on one of my pages I allowed both but later changed to only likes as it was working better. So try experimenting and playing about with the settings
You can control the posts in the Manage Permissions, when you edit your FB Page profile. Go to the "posting ability" portion and do not check the "Everyone can post to [name] timeline"
Blocking people from posting simply encourages them to go to venues where you have no voice & representation while making your community that much less social, that much less valuable. If the only interaction is you talking at people you will quickly find the benefit is nill.
I get your point, but why is there a need for others to post publicly on your timeline? Those who have you in their newsfeeds can comment on your status updates and you can comment on the statuses of those in your newsfeed. I figure my Timeline is my private space for friends and other contacts to check up on what I've been doing if they are of a mind to do that. I really don't want some acquaintance or even some rogue family member posting content there that doesn't represent my views.
On the few occasions when I do share something with a friend on their timeline, I don't check to see whether it's public or private. My aim isn't to become known to their circle. It is just to share something with them that I feel they will find interesting or to wish them a personal congratulations on a birthday, anniversary, promotion or other event in their life.
I was referring to the timeline in the capacity of a business, not individual. Since you know all i think about is work
Facebook don't allow their users to approve any post, posted by their friends or fans. So you can not stop anyone to post anything. you can just create a like page for your school, and promote it everywhere.
You can set permission in page admin, no one can post on your page without your permission, or can not post comment on your post. but you can easily update about your school news, calender, daily activities etc.
You can set up a page so that people can post on that and you and everyone who has liked that page can see all the comments. Second thing you can't limit parents by liking it.
I think both posting(or sharing) and likings are important. Postings bring in visitors and readers while liking improves reputation. But the real part is facebook pages are pity good and broad and they offer different options than just posts and likes.
Certainly there is no control over that page for controlling people who are gonna post on that and who are gonna like it but i wish there should be some..
Facebook has plenty of controls to govern who can post on a page and who can see it, as well. Before you put forth an opinion, please research your facts to make sure they are accurate.
Hello,I am a very active facebook user. This problem can be easily solved through the facebook privacy settings. It doesnt matter if u have a group page, a like page or an account. No one can post without the permission granted from you. You can set the settings in such a way that everyone can post, but only after your review, it will be actually posted on your wall. so I think , since social media is a very popular method of e-marketing, you should start this page. But remember to manage it wisely with setting the privacy and security settings to your preference.
Page will be best all can read if you have issue with what parents write u can make it hidden for admins only
How does turning off posting help you build a social presence?

It seems to me that the problem is there was some sort of error when booting.
The most likely possibilities are that the USB version of BackTrack 4 you made doesn't work, your system doesn't support booting from USB or you have not configured the computer to support booting via USB. Why don't you try some troubleshooting techniques to eliminate those possibilities before posting back. If you search the forums here you should also find any number of threads on this topic, which might provide more helpful information.

During the upcoming United Nations conference on climate change, to be held in Copenhagen from December 7 to 18, the only issues really on the table are CO2 emissions and the green energy sources that might reasonably replace fossil fuels. Denmark will use this opportunity to show the rest of the world its own example - a country managing to maintain a high level of economic growth even as it draws 20% of its energy from clean sources, including wind power.
The social aspect of this question will be marginalized, at best, if not completely ignored. It is, however, far from a negligible aspect of the problem. Early in the 1970s, at the time of the first energy crisis, Ivan Illich, in his book, Energy and Equity, reminded us that the excessive use of cheap fossil fuel was as damaging to society as it was to nature. He wrote: [H]igh quanta of energy degrade social relations just as inevitably as they destroy the physical milieu.1 The explanation is simple: having mechanical slaves at our service reinforces our feeling of power, and distances us from that self-conscious sense of vulnerability that helps us accept the constraints of a hectic social life. That which is first experienced as liberation e.g., no longer having to draw water from wells quickly becomes alienating: We believe that we no longer need one another; we isolate ourselves and become strangers to others and then to ourselves.
One of the sure signs of the wrong being done to society is the weakening of the sense of belonging. Urban sprawl, made possible often made necessary by affordable energy, has had the effect of distancing people from their homes where they often do little other than sleep and from their cities, which they associate exclusively with their work. The major urban planners, such as Lewis Mumford and Jane Jacobs, didnt wait for the damage of climate change before decrying this reality.
The same problem exists in the country. The distance from the village of North Hatley to our small farmhouse is 16 kilometres. When I make the trip in the car, I never think about stopping to look at a garden, or to talk to those whose pride and joy it is. The first time I made the same trip on foot early one May I moved from discovery to discovery, from conversation to conversation. Just like so many before me, I began to understand that belonging to the land and belonging to a community are inseparable realities.
To achieve the desired end then i.e., moderation in use of fossil fuel would it not be wiser to launch a movement for belonging, rather than against CO2 emissions?
Muslims go farther than this. They have begun to seek to attach religious sensibility to the sense of belonging to the community and to the land, where previously they felt that issues related to the environment should be completely separate from religion. Sheikh Ali Gomaa, Grand Mufti of Egypt, has launched a seven-year plan aimed at transforming the pilgrimage to Mecca into a convivial experience, an experience shared by companions, an opportunity to bring oneself closer to other people, to nature, and to God.2 Isnt this the same spirit we are seeing in the current revival of the pilgrimage to Compostela?
According to Jean Vanier too, belonging must be multi-faceted. It is there in his eyes a law of his inner life. The more we advance on the road to interior peace and integrity, the more the sense of belonging grows and deepens. It is not only belonging to others and to a community that is the cause of this, but also belonging to the universe, to the earth, to water, at all that lives, to all humanity.3
The European countryside, as shaped and worked by the Cistercian monks of the Middle Ages, is often cited by ecologists, notably René Dubos, as an example to be imitated. Dubos, originator of the aphorism think globally; act locally, writes that to follow such an example is to engage in a path in which the inner life sets the tone for all other manifestations of life. He quotes St. Bernard of Clairvaux: That spot has much charm, it greatly soothes weary minds, relieves anxieties and cares The smiling countenance of the earth is painted with varying colours, the blooming verdure of spring satisfies the eyes, and its sweet odour salutes the nostrils. While I am charmed without by the sweet influence of the beauty of the country, I have not less delight within in reflecting on the mysteries which are hidden beneath it.4 Thus did St. Bernard write, evocatively, of the site at Clairvaux where he would establish a monastery.

hello guy . good post .
in this forum some say that AWUS051Nh ( Ralink 2770/2750 ) not working with backtrack . perhaps they test in backtrack 4 final and r1 ..
I would like to report that I was able to get the Alfa AWUS051NH USB wireless adapter to work on a vanilla BackTrack 4 R2 installation on VirtualBox 4.0.4. I used the default settings/options for the entire process (VM creation, OS install, etc.), and the only "extra" steps I took were to run 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade' and to install the VirtualBox Guest Additions (the VirtualBox equivalent of VMware Tools). I then plugged the USB adapter into the host, navigated to the VM window's menu, clicked "Devices" -> "USB Devices" -> "Ralink 802.11 n WLAN [0101]". At this point, the AWUS051NH will be "plugged into" the virtual machine, and there should be relevant messages posted in /var/log/messages and a new interface should appear named 'wlan0' (verify with 'ifconfig -a'). Next, I enabled monitor mode on the device by running 'airmon-ng start wlan0', and the script successfully detected the chipset which it displays as "Ralink RT2870/3070" and uses the "rt2800usb" driver by default. Now that the USB adapter is in monitor mode (on 'mon0'), it's time to test packet injection with aireplay-ng. I ran 'aireplay-ng -9 mon0' and injection was successful.
I attached screenshots of all of the relevant parts to this post. Note that I did censor out the MAC addresses and ESSIDs to protect the privacy of my neighbors.
To the BackTrack developers: It would be appreciated if you could move the AWUS051NH from the list of "NON working cards" to the list of "Tested and working cards" on this page of the wiki: Wireless Drivers - BackTrack Linux
hello guy . good post .
in this forum some say that AWUS051Nh ( Ralink 2770/2750 ) not working with backtrack . perhaps they test in backtrack 4 final and r1 ..
I concur with DeeSNutz. I have two of the AWUS051NH devices. They work great. I have tested in both a standard install and a VMWorkstation 7 install of BT R2.
Slightly odd behavior in VMWare. The Alfa usb devices transfer from the host to the guest and work... for a while (I am using kismet). Then data just stops showing up. Restart kismit and nothing. Restart BT and nothing. Restart VMWare and they are usually back to working. Today I had to reboot the system. Go figure.
All that said I have not experienced this in the standard BT install (not VMWare). Then again. I have not played with that as much.

Noise-Canceling item created by , May 5, 2010
Pros - decent noise cancellation
Cons - middling to low quality audio, you can get miles better fidelity for the same price (see HiFiMan HE-300/Denon AH-D2000)
As a frequent traveler, these headphones served their purpose. The noise cancellation is some of the best you'll find, but the audio quality suffers greatly as a consequence. They withstood about 2 years of very heavy use, before the earpads and drivers both completely gave out. That said, there are few headphones that serve heavy travel purposes as well as these, but for the price point, it loses major points with me. I honestly expected far better audio quality and longevity.
look for the Denon AH-D2000, if you're dead set on this price range.

Shake junt
Battle at the Berrics 5 started somewhat recently. Who's your guys' predictions for winning it?
PJ Ladd for me.
skating is such a fad now. i mean i skate a lil with my bros and have fun with it, but i honestly dont understand the poser fags that dress like and say they skate but then they show up at the park with a wally world board and they just cruise around like they are some kinda cool guy. i mean they dont even try anything? and if you like tell them off or even try and be nice and teach them something, they freak out and leave. its stupid, i mean... why act like something youre not, and then when somebody tries to make you not a poser you act offended?? stupid....
this is the newest video by 5Boro. One of the better videos ive seen recently . Raw street skating at its finest.
Kinger i sorta feel you, I hate those kids that skate just so they can tell people they skate and wear the "clothes". those kids piss me off. The ones that say you only skate if you dress in skateboard companies shirts n shit. Cant even do an olllie lol or ride the board down a street. and sofargone you knnow that kid? He's good man
Recent lesson learnt.... Don't choose to skate in vans because your skateshoes are to mashed to skate in... you will go through the side of the canvas, sock and rip the skin clean off your foot.

Haha^ that reminds me how every shoe i skate always gets a hole in the bottom, usually under my big toe. So now my big toe is indestructible because it spent like 2 months scraping against griptape and walking all over the ground. It's about to happen to my shoes now i need to get some new ones...
Might ivenst in diamond inlayed skate shoes, that will stop them from ripping xD
I been skating for a couple years now.. I just ordered a longboard for crusin round, can't wait till it gets here, what do you guys think bout em??
Longboards are fun for 2 minutes, then you realize they suck. And i can't do any tricks and i have no interest in learning any, the only thing they're really good for is to get somewhere quicker than using a skateboard.
I stick to regular boards, they don't get boring.
Fucking skating, snowboard the streets.
Depends really, it is nice to just go cruise around and bomb some hills on a longboard
i won a local comp the other day, and i have a few offers to local shops and a sponsorship with a local deck company.
i've been skating for 6 years now, so things are turning out pretty good.
obvious mental insanity zone
one must insure zen
I used to skatenow i BMX its way funner watch my subscribe my youtube channel -> 4lifebmx420

Post subject: Trading down...I need some help
I was just reading the Lovie Smith post and the topic inspired this thought:
If the Bears were to trade their second round pick, say down 10 spots or so... What would they pick up? Will the 10 spots merit a 3rd round pick? A 4th?
Here was the thought that I just had... If the Bears take a WR in the first, trade down a little bit in the second and pick up Nugent before the Vikings have a chance, and then a falling Fason, Shelton, or JJ Arrington with (my assumed) third round pick.
Thanks so much Scar!!

St. Louis would be ideal if we do. We would drop 11 spots, but we might be able to get their own third rounder. I guess it would depend on how bad they want to move up.

Unless Brown of Auburn is still on the board, I DESPERATELY want to see the Bears trade down to pick up another pick and hopefully draft Williamson in the middle of the first round.
Aside from Brown, there are NO consensus picks at #4 (sorry to say for you that have fallen in love with tall but slow Mike Williams or another Michigan guy in Edwards).

Where is Williamson from? I'd like to read his scouting report. Or if anyone has a FREE link that can get me there, it would be greatly appreciated. Somewhere I can get his college stats too, because as we all know, 40 times, and combine drills dont tell the WHOLE story.

Thanks for the links Bo.
It appears that Williamson did all of his damage in the first couple of games of this year, did he get hurt because his production severely dropped off...
Thanks so much Scar!!

It also seems like Williamson is kind of a 'question mark', he does have the height and 40 times, and if i remember right he did do well in the combine, which propelled him in the middle of the 1st round, but I dont think the bears should take him, seems like he's all "combine", if you know what I mean. Id rather take a guy with "game speed" that has the stats about him rather than a "combine speed" guy any day.
But seriously though, stop right now and think of a 10th of a second (difference between Mike Williams and Braylon Edwards) one 10th of a second, that REALLY is not that much to drop a guy so far, yeah he can outrun someone in a race, but when he's running down the sidelines trying to get open, that CB isnt going to be thinking "oh [inappropriate/removed] he runs a 4.5, and I run a 4.6, that means i cant cover him", no that CB will chuck him, or hold him or do somethin to slow him down (and i know the nfl has been strict on the calls, but they dont make all of them) so that 10th of a second shouldnt matter as much as scouts think it does. GO BEARS!!!

It's not the tenth of a second difference between WIlliams and Edwards or anyone else that's the concern per se'. The concern is that even average cornerbacks (as David Terrell has found out), can stick like glue to guys who run 4.6 in the 40 or less.
I remember everyone saying the same things about Willie Gault that are being said know about Williamson. Just so long as Williamson has the hands and speed, the rest can be taught.

NEW YORK CITY -- Twinkies and other iconic Hostess snack cakes will make a high-profile comeback under new ownership, reappearing on store shelves on July 15.
Hostess Brands went bankrupt last year after failing to reach an agreement with striking union members and parceled off its brands to several bidders. Private equity firms Apollo Global Management and C. Dean Metropoulous & Co. teamed up to purchase the Hostess snack cake business, which also includes Ho Hos, Ding Dongs and Donettes, for $410 million.
The Irving, TX, baked goods manufacturer sold its Drake's brands, including Devil Dogs and Yodels, to McKee Foods, maker of Little Debbie snack cakes. Wonder went to Tastykake maker Flowers Foods and the Beefsteak bread business was acquired by Grupo Bimbo, which owns Entenmann's and Sara Lee.
The owners of Twinkies said the classic cakes will make their grand reentry in boxes that feature the tagline "The Sweetest Comeback In The History Of Ever."
A clock on the Hostess website is counting down the seconds until what the company calls "the greatest treats the world has ever known will triumphantly return."

Report: Elton John teams up with Sebastian Ingrosso, Axwell, Ryan Tedder
Listen to Sebastian Ingrosso on iHeartRadio | Listen to Axwell on iHeartRadio | Listen to Elton John on iHeartRadio
Bet you didn't see this one coming! Elton John will reportedly be featured on a track co-produced by Sebastian Ingrosso and Axwell, as well as One Republic's Ryan Tedder.
In a new interview with Billboard, Tedder revealed a number of artists he was working with, and mentioned the collaboration with the music legend and the legendary dance music stars. He says the track was written and co-produced by Ingrosso and Axwell, and features Elton's vocals.
The One Republic frontman didn't reveal the title of the track or any possible sign of a release date, but in the Billboard interview, the song was described as "an as-yet-undetermined project."
This isn't Tedder's first time working with Sebastian Ingrosso and Axwell. He appeared on their hit, "Calling (Lose My Mind)."

Ad Reinhardt
No. 18
Ad Reinhardt
American, 1913-1967
No. 18, 1956
Oil on canvas
203.2 x 81.3 cm (80 x 32 inches)
Gift of Richard Brown Baker 1996.11.43
Reinhardt's spare, monochromatic paintings prefigured 1960s Minimalism. During the 1930s, he was inspired by the work of Dutch abstract painter Piet Mondrian (1872-1944). While teaching at Yale University with Josef Albers in the 1950s, Reinhardt employed an increasingly dark and monochromatic palette and sought to remove all connotations of color and form. He intentionally excluded colors that had symbolic value and avoided compositions that could be read as three-dimensional. Reacting against the painterly gestures of his Abstract Expressionist peers, he applied paint in thin, clean rectangles, concealing any traces of brushwork. No. 18 slightly predates his famous black paintings but shares many attributes with that series, which features symmetrical rectangles of black in shades that vary just enough to make visible the contrast between the fields.

Thread: The perfect husband
The perfect husband
Several men are in the locker room at the Archery club. A mobile phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands free speaker function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen.
MAN: 'Hello'
WOMAN: 'Darling, it's me. Are you at the club ?'
MAN: 'Yes'
WOMAN: 'I am at Bluewater and I've found this beautiful leather coat. It's only $500. Is it OK if I buy it?'
MAN: 'Sure, go ahead if you like it that much.'
WOMAN: 'I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership on the way here and saw the new 2011 Models. I saw one I really liked.'
MAN: 'How much ?'
MAN: 'OK, but for that price please make sure you haggle for all the optional extras.'
WOMAN: 'Great ! Oh, and one more thing...the house I wanted last year is back on the market. They're asking $750,000.
MAN: 'Well, if you still like it that much, why not make an offer of $700K. They will probably take it. If not, we can go the extra 50 thousand if you think it's worth it.'
WOMAN: 'OK. I'll see you later ! I love you so much !'
MAN: 'Bye ! I love you, too.'
The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are staring at him in astonishment, mouths agape.
He turns and asks:
" Anyone know who this phone belongs to ?"

Every family celebrates the holidays a little differently. Some light candles in the window; others wait for a costumed man bearing gifts in a sack. Between the annual mad rush to the mall, cookie baking and party preparations, have you ever stopped to think about why your family celebrates its special traditions during the winter holiday season? Or about how your forebears celebrated the holidays? You might be surprised what you can learn about your family history from the rituals and routines you carry on year after year.

Drake and Rihanna spotted holding hands in Manchester
Listen to Drake on iHeartRadio | Listen to Rihanna on iHeartRadio
After weeks of speculation that Drake and Rihanna are hooking up again there appears to be confirmation that the rumors may be true.
The on-off-on again couple was caught on camera holding hands as they exited a party at Club Entourage in Manchester, England.
Rihanna has been hanging out with Drake as he performs his world tour and they've been spotted together on multiple rendezvous throughout Europe over the past couple of weeks.
But, this is the first real romantic shot of the two.
TMZ reports that after the club Drake and Rihanna headed to a bowling alley where they stayed till after 4am.
[Check out the hand-holding here]
The couple first hooked up back in May 2009, following Rihanna's split from Chris Brown. Drake sang about his feeling for RiRi in his 2010 hit, Fireworks. He later vented about their ill-feted relationship in an interview with the New York Times, claiming Rihanna had used him like "a pawn."
"I was a pawn," he said. "You know what she was doing to me? She was doing exactly what I've done to so many women throughout my life, which is show them quality time, then disappear. I was like, wow, this feels terrible."
Guess all is fair in love and war….

Do foreign fighters have to sign up to SAFE MMA?... If you have a ranked UK fighter and you're bringing in a ranked fighter from another country surely they would have to be checked by the same people? I suppose in this instance a jab at the GUM clinic and a disclaimer would suffice.
Twitter @steflachMMA. Herald Sport www.heraldscotland.com/sport
Foreign fighters who are fighting in the UK will need to provide their passports and flight receipts/tickets as proof of not being eligible for SAFE MMA membership. They will also need to provide valid blood tests. On the spot blood tests can be carried out at CHHP, 76 Harley Street at the promotion's expense.
I assume the test will need to cover for HIV and Hepatitis? Not sure how recent they need to be though?

When couples have problems that they cannot fix, oftentimes they will turn to a therapist to help to sort things out. When a therapist works with a couple, it is the relationship that is the client; not the two people in the relationship. So, when working with a couple, the goal is to help them to understand what is not working in their relationship, and why, and also what to do to improve how they are doing the relationship.

The misuse of our gun crime stats
Editor's note: Michael Brown is an Australian astronomer and senior lecturer at Monash University who lived in the U.S. from 2000 until 2006. He regularly writes for The Conversation website, where another version of this article appeared. The views expressed are his own.
I had a stark introduction to gun violence when I moved from Australia to Tucson, Arizona 12 years ago.
As I walked to my hotel room one evening, I passed some young people apparently holding a party in another room. They seemed mostly harmless, and I acknowledged them with a "g'day." A short time later, I heard a car pull up, followed by the sound of gunfire and screaming. The next morning I saw police tape and markers in the car park. There were bullet holes in a drainpipe and one of the walls. Another guest told me someone had been hurt by a stray bullet, but I couldn't be sure as there was no sign of the story on the local news.
For me, this said much about gun violence in the United States, and how much of it happens without making headlines. But as America grapples with how to respond to the Sandy Hook massacre, many Americans have been looking overseas to see how other nations – including my home country – have responded to similar events. The problem is, certain interests in the U.S. are not being completely honest about what they are seeing.
More from CNN: Quick change is possible on gun control
As the debate over gun control takes center stage in America following the killing of 20 young children, it is perhaps not surprising that one place analysts have turned to for ideas is Australia. After all, the two countries have much in common. We are both wealthy, English-speaking democracies. We watch the same films and play the same video games. But when it comes to gun violence, we are two very different nations.
In 1996, 35 people were murdered at Port Arthur, in the Australian state of Tasmania. In response, the conservative government of John Howard (with bipartisan support) introduced a series of comprehensive reforms including tightened licensing and restrictions on the types of weapons that could be owned. Since the laws were introduced, the rate of gun ownership in Australia has dropped from roughly 1 in 15 adults to 1 in 20 adults.
Many factors can influence gun violence, so the impact of the Australian reforms is oft debated. However, one thing is clear – the number of firearm homicides and firearm suicides has dramatically decreased. The Australian homicide rate is only1.2 per 100,000 people, far lower than the American homicide rate of about 5 per 100,000 people. Firearms are used in less than 15 percent of homicides in Australia, compared with 67 percent of homicides in America.
More from GPS: Don't blame video games
Prior to the introduction of the gun laws, 112 people were killed in 11 mass shootings in Australia. Since the implementation of the gun laws, there have been no comparable gun massacres in Australia.
Remarkably, though, some gun advocates in the U.S. argue that Australian gun laws have actually increased crime. It's a strange claim considering the reality of the statistics. And on closer inspection of the numbers it is clear that gun advocates are engaging in some statistical sleights of hand, including the cherry picking of data.
For example, NRA News reported statistics from the Australian state of New South Wales suggesting that "in the inner west, robberies committed with firearms skyrocketed more than 70 percent over the previous year." Rather than giving the national trend over many years, NRA News chose one part of one city in one state over just a two year period. In contrast, robberies using firearms across Australia have declined from more than 1,500 cases per year in the 1990s to 1,100 per year.
Another approach is diversion. When the most relevant statistic gives the "wrong" answer, switch to a less relevant statistic that gives the "right" answer. Joyce Lee Malcolm appeared to use this approach in the Wall Street Journal when shewrote recently, "in 2008, the Australian Institute of Criminology reported a decrease of 9 percent in homicides and a one-third decrease in armed robbery since the 1990s, but an increase of over 40 percent in assaults and 20 percent in sexual assaults."
The implication is clear, but misleading as many factors drive reported crime rates. Crucially, guns are used in less than 1 percent of assaults and sexual assaults in Australia, making firearm use almost irrelevant to these crimes. Was gun ownership a deterrent? This is also difficult to argue, given over 90 percent of Australians didn't own guns before or after the reforms. The aforementioned decline in firearm homicide, firearm suicide and mass shootings are surely more compelling.
Sometimes, advocates simply invent statistics. One infomercial claims, "[Australian] gun murders increased 19 percent." This is simply wrong – firearms are now used less in robberies, homicides and kidnappings than they were in the 1990s. Yet even after then-Australian Attorney General Daryl Williamscomplained to the NRA over the infomercial, no action was reportedly taken, and anyone viewing it today is likely to be unaware of this gross factual error.
What is really going in Australia? Homicide and suicide rates generally have declined since the 1990s, but firearm deaths have fallen even more dramatically. And while they were anyway rare events, there hasn't been a mass shooting in Australia for more than a decade.
Yes, the exact impact of the Australian gun laws is still open for debate. But claims that they may actually have increased crime are pure deception. Gun advocates make these misleading statements knowing they will rarely be called on it by the media. Unfortunately, this says far more about the partisan debate in America than the reality in Australia.
The NRA Can not be trusted. They are pathological liars at the service of gun manufacturers. What the gun manufacturers ask for, they will drop their pants and bend over to achieve. They are a disgrace to the USA.

Country Life Stress "M" B Complex With Synergistic Nutrients is a combination of Vitamins B and C together with Taurine and other synergistic nutrients in a special rapid release base allowing for quick disintegration. Country Life Stress "M" B Complex With Synergistic Nutrients is kosher and suitable for vegetarians. Vitamin BVitamin B deficiencies are quite common among Americans due to the inclusion of processed foods and sugar in the average diet. As sugar is consumed, our cells are robbed of their Vitamin B and insulin production is inhibited. The B-vitamins, a water-soluble group, combine to form the B-complexes, which are essential for a variety of biochemical reactions. They play an important role in the metabolic utilization of fats, carbohydrates, and protein. They are collectively known as the anti-stress vitamin because of the role they play in keeping the nervous system healthy. They are also essential for hair, skin, and eyes. Because a deficiency in one B-vitamin usually means a deficiency in another, it is important to take all of the B-vitamins together. Country Life offers a wide variety of individual B-vitamins, B-complexes, and coenzyme forms, including Active Coenzyme B Complex and Coenzyme B-6. These sophisticated combinations of the coenzyme forms provide maximum bioavailability. Country Life's vitamin B products are available in tablet or capsule form and are designed to meet your individual and metabolic needs. VitaminsWith few exceptions, vitamins cannot be manufactured or synthesized by the body. They must be supplemented through the diet or supplementation. Some vitamins must be converted into active or coenzyme forms by the body before they can be utilized.The lack of vitamins over a long period of time can result in serious deficiencies.

Heres a question,
Most of the time when the DSL companies set up the modem for the client or talk them through it over the phone (Usually 2WIRE modems with built in wifi) They have the people put in their 10 digit phone number in as the key.
With knowing this is there a way of speeding up the process of cracking the key with the pre-knowledge of the first 3 digits (Usually AreaCode)??? That is if they are using the default setup of the phone number. Is there a method of doing this for WEP?
I see how editing a dictionary file to prefix the first 3 digits for a WPA attack is possible but not sure about this for WEP.
This would not be a better attack as it would only shave off a minute of the, what would be a 3 or 4 minute attack as it were. But something new.
