´Ban on use of Nazi terms violates free speech´ (YNetNews.Com -Yedioth Internet) Moran Azoulay Published: 05.29.12, 17:11)

Justice Committee´s legal advisor says legislation aimed at outlawing public use of swastikas, Holocaust-related epithets ´ban use of entire category of expressions´
A legal opinion issued at the Knesset on Tuesday determined that four controversial bills aimed at curbing public use of Nazi symbols violate free speech.
The bills were introduced after symbols of the Holocaust were used in demonstrations by ultra-Orthodox Jews in Jerusalem who felt persecuted by objections to their efforts to achieve gender segregation in public.
The proposed legislation would outlaw public use of symbols such as swastikas, the term Nazi or epithets related to the killing of six million Jews before and during World War Two. The bills would also bar the wearing of striped uniforms similar to those worn by concentration camp prisoners and outlaw the wearing of the yellow Star of David or any other symbol used during the Holocaust.
All four bills were passed in a preliminary reading in the Knesset.
Violators would be subject to up to six months in prison and a NIS 100,000 ($26,000) fine.
In his opinion, the legal advisor to the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee wrote "Despite the bills´ important goals, they severely violate political free speech, which is at the heart of freedom of expression. The courts have repeatedly ruled that free speech under Israeli law extends to every expression, regardless of its influence.
"Free speech protects expressions that the public is averse to. The said bills deviate from the accepted justifications to violate free speech because they ban the use of an entire category of expressions," he wrote.
MK Uri Ariel (National Union), who is behind the current proposal, recently said, "Sadly, in recent years we have witnessed a growing trend where Nazi symbols are used with flippancy and complete disregard for the feelings of the Holocaust survivors and their decedents. This use is completely illegitimate and it makes no difference if those behind the use are Bilin rioters, haredim or price tag criminals.
"There is great importance in anchoring these prohibitions in the law in order to prevent the spreading of this trend in the future," Ariel added. (Copyright 2012 © Yedioth Internet 05/29/12)

Very good skis!
By J-man
from Colorado
About Me Intermediate
Comments about Nordica Patron Skis 2013:
I demoed these skis only one day but was blown away! I ski in Colorado and in Aspen these skis are very popular and I kept hearing great things. I was not let down when I put em on. For a pow ski at 114 underfoot I was extremely surprised at their groomer/hard pack performance. I was able to charge groomers with confidence and maneuver them well in bumps and chop. They ski much stiffer than they hand flex so don't be turned off by their seemingly floppy feel. I didn't give them 5 stars b/c I didn't get them in deep, fresh pow but I did get them in some older, crusted stuff. They did great in those conditions and I'm pretty sure they would do great in the deeper stuff. Also, I hit some rocks and got a good, deep scratch from one of them but it wasn't a core shot. They are light so I imagine that the bases may be a little soft in order to shave off weight. I am getting back into skiing after 5 years of snowboarding so I am not an expert but they inspired confidence like no other ski I have tried. I was especially impressed with their ability on groomers and hard pack. They wanted to carve and were very quick edge to edge. I would definitely recommend these to anyone!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Nordica's got a game changer here...
By Wil D.
from Mt. Baker
About Me Professional
Nordica has finally built a ski that is worth going out and getting your hands on!!!Age: 27 years oldHeight: 6'1"Weight: 175lbsI've been a skier my entire life. Ski racing to the intro of 'new-school' to the current deep POW chase - it feels like over the years I've skied on a LOT of different skis. Hellbents, Chopsticks, Pollards', Bentchetlers', Bibbys', Surface New/One Lifes, ON3P Caylors, etc. I've spent time on just about all of the major players out there and until now I wouldn't be sitting here writing a review for Nordica skis because to be completely honest you would have been totally wasting your time & money with a ski that you would have been unhappy with.YET.... Nordica has completely changed the game with the Patron.Here's why:Outta the plastic you will find a light and well balanced ski that when flexed gives a deeply playful yet not overly soft flex pattern. They're poppy in all the right sorta ways and not a flimsy noddle that can be bent in half. The tip of the ski has what Nordica calls their 'hammerhead' design, which you can find in many other similar skis, (S7, EP Pro's) where the tip of the ski is slightly more narrow than the widest point on the tip which is blown out at about 3" back from the end of the tip. This creates a wide spot up on the tip that is great for 'early-rise' flotation and as well as progressive tricks like Butters, Jibs, & Presses. I have been EXTREMELY surprised when buttering at how stable and consistent the flex throughout the tip has been. Easily engaging and yet not too soft that you'd forward endo when you put your weight into the tips.The tails of the skis are slightly more stiff that the tips (as they should be) and offer a solid landing platform when coming down hard off big drops. They aren't overly stiff leaving your legs beat up after landing backseat, and they aren't too soft that you wheelie out or go over the handle bars. This is a major problem with many 'rockered' skis on the market, being too soft and not having stability at high speed/pressure, yet Nordica has found the sweet spot with the Patron. I'm very impressed.Skiing switch on the Patron is done with ease. They cave nicely, and although not a symmetrical ski at 143/113/132mm, high-speed switch turns on hard-pack are cranked out effortlessly with great stability. Bottom line, after skiing on the Patron for over two months I am thoroughly sold with what Nordica Skis is doing and I can confidently suggest the Patron to anyone who is looking for a balanced - soft/playful/rocker & solid/stable/cambered - ski capable of ripping the entire mountain.

Top Shelf
By Brett
from Mission Ridge, WA
These skis hand flex pretty soft, but ski with confidence. Their mellow rocker profile feels great in any condition. They seemed to float well in deep snow and could ski through crud with ease. I think at high speed they might have a tendency to wash out a bit, but they are more of a playful jib type powder ski anyway. On groomed snow they can throw down medium radius turns very well and feel pretty solid. Overall, they seem like a great choice for a deep day.

Still waiting for the deep powder this season. So only tried so far on minimal snow and they work very well. Can tell the camber is doing its job and looking forward to using the rocker in powder. Bindings mounted at the classic mark and they are perfect
Amazing Ski
By Exodus
About Me Advanced
What an amazing ski! I have my 193's mounted 3cm from the rear mark. Wow, they carve, float in pow and pivot on a dime - quick in moguls (for such a fat ski) and are pretty much able to rip entire mountain. If I was an east coast skier I would probably go with S3 but since in CO we get nice pow I consider these my one ski rules them all - I doubt my other skis will see any action this year...
Nordica Patron
By Alex
from Alta, UT
Use these to ski everything. A very playful ski which gives plenty of confidence when skiing through crud, powder, and over rocks.
Awesome Ski
from Colorado Springs, CO
What an awesome ski. I am tall (6'5") 220lb and went with 193 size. This ski rocks! floats like a dream but also carves (did find some ice patches which would make me cry on my Atomic Access, but Patrons handled it great)! I am solid advanced (hoping for Expert status in a season or two) and have demo/owned many skis - S7, Atomic Access, Pettitor - These are by far the best. What surprised me was how nimble on the bumps they were - I don't think S3's I did demo last season were any better. They turn, pivot and twist on a dime (I have them mounted about 3cm forward to a classic line - my mid boot mark goes just above the E in the Made in Austria mark). The best ski ever - true one ski for all occasions :)
By hippie
from North east PA.
Super awesome ski. This ski is awesome in all conditions. It is even fun if you decide to go play in the bumps. I ski it everywhere and tour with it!
Fantastic All-Around Ski
By Kerry
from Rio Rancho, NM
The 1st day I used these in 10" of fresh snow. I felt no change go from powder to packed, or packed into the powder. I was very impressed with the quick turning in moguls, stability at high speed, and the forgiveness going in and out of troughs - not trying to throw me at all.(Experience: 48yrs skiing, 2yrs instructor)
This product is to sick to pass

One day was enough
By VT Skier
from Vermont
One day was enough on a pair of Demo Nordica Patrons for me to decide I needed to buy a pair. I had a few good power days in VT this year but did not own a pair of skis to fully take advantage of them. I wanted a ski that could rip in not just the powder but on the whole mountain. Based on the reviews the Nordica Patrons seemed to fit the bill. The day I demoed them we got a late season storm that dropped about 5" on the mountain but warmed up fast over the day. The top of the mountain was covered powder yet the bottom was covered in toothpaste. The Patrons worked very well in both conditions and were able to hold an edge on the stuff in between. I got into the trees a bit and despite being 186s the Patrons are light enough to easily swing around to miss the hard stuff. They seemed to work great in the crud and soft bumps but were a bit rough in the harder more formed moguls. I will stick to my shorter narrower skis when spending a day in the bumps. I have a feeling the Patrons will be well worth the money on powder days but you may want to have a few pairs of skis in your arsenal to pick from for other days.

We're For Sure Not Talking Tequila!
By Maandy
from Seattle
I am about six feet tall, 175 pounds and skied the Patron 185 mounted at plus two from the factory recommended setting. I was looking for an all mountain twin tip ski that made it easy to add some individuality and uniqueness to my personal skiing style and the Patron delivered big time. I absolutely loved the softer tip and tail that made for effortless buttering and tip presses that do nothing but add some major fun to any run! Along with the playfulness, the design of the ski made it super maneuverable making tight trees and narrow chutes much easier to navigate.In powder, the Patrons kept me up on top of the snow providing a super "surfy" feel that was easy to control and left me grinning ear to ear every time! On groomers the ski was pretty quick edge to edge and I was super stoked at how well it was able to hook up and rip turns. The bottom line is I totally love these skis, they are super forgiving, playful and an all around blast! I absolutely believe that these skis are the perfect tool to help me progress my skiing and hopefully move out of that intermediate category one day!!!
By Webby
from Alpental, WA
I was extremly impressed by Nordica's Patron, considering it's not a company I had been as familiar with in past. For their size, I felt the Patrons were agile and surprisingly stable at speed for how flexible and soft they felt prior to putting them on. I liked the mellow tip rise, which is probably a big reason they feel so stable. Unfortunately it had been sunny and clear for a week before I was able to get out on them, as I would have loved to get them in a foot or two of fresh pow to see just how well those tips stay afloat. After jumping on a pair of these, I will certainly be paying more attention to Nodica Skis in the future!

You don't have to collect stamps to enjoy this informative
presentation that examines the educational benefits derived from
this interesting pastime. Conducted by Anthony Musso, who himself
has collected autographed first day covers (a unique segment of
stamp collecting) for nearly 40 years, he will review its unique
learning opportunity with interesting stories, while displaying
many of his own items. By researching the history of a person,
place, or event featured as the subject of a postage stamp, you can
learn about a topic that might have never entered your mind to
explore. In Musso's case, he also researches a personality
associated in some way with the stamp subject, from which he
requests an autograph on the cover. But that process requires
research of the personality as well, in effect bolstering his
knowledge about two completely different subjects. Whether it's a
study of the JFK Assassination, the Watergate scandal, sports, arts
and entertainment, and/or virtually any other topic imaginable,
there has been a stamp issued on it, which provides opportunities
to collect and to learn in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

Give it a shot. Pick your poison. Which of American Fork's scoring threats are you going to try to stop?
Is it Cassidy Fraughton, the all-state talent with the steady hand from 3-point range? That's a start, but she just as easily can swing the ball to Ashley Baugh, the 6-foot guard with the ability to score 20 points any night.
And don't sleep on Megan Eliason, a senior who leads the team in 3-pointers, Maile Richardson, who torched Syracuse for 18 points in her Cavemen debut, or Amy Bergeson, a senior who led the way offensively in a season-opening victory at Mountain View.
So, really … who are you going to stop?
"Our team is as deep as we've ever been, as far as multiple girls with the ability to have big scoring nights," American Fork coach Corey Clayton said. "We really believe there are four, five, maybe six girls who on any given night can score double figures, or 20 points for some of them."
American Fork's depth is a big reason the Cavemen enter the week unbeaten and coming off a thrashing of defending Class 5A state champion Syracuse.
Sure, the Titans barely resemble the team that lost one game in three seasons, but it doesn't make the 21-point triumph count any less for American Fork.
"I ended up guarding one of their star players most of the game, and it's enjoyable to see your hard work pay off like that," said Baugh, a senior who guarded Syracuse point guard Jayda Bovero. "They had knocked us out of the [state] tournament two years in a row, so it was really great to finally beat Syracuse."
The landscape in Class 5A appears to have formed perfectly for the Cavemen to make a run at their second state title and first since 2009. Syracuse lost Brittney Martin and Makenlee Williams. Alta graduated Makenzi Morrison. Whitney Johnson has moved on from Lone Peak.
With nine seniors returning to a talented roster that reached the state semifinals last season, it sure looks like it's American Fork's turn at the top.
"I really believe in us, and I think we're going to win it all," Baugh said. "It's going to take a lot of teamwork and we have a lot of chemistry as it is. I think we have a very good chance of taking state."
Add to that experience the talented Richardson, a sophomore transfer from Layton who Clayton hopes will shore up a relatively inexperienced front court.
"Inside, we'll develop as we go through the season," Clayton said. "That's where our young players are in the post. As they develop, we'll get stronger inside."
The development of Richardson, Bergeson and junior Melissa Squire will go a long way toward helping the Cavemen reach their goal.
That maturation might come later this month when American Fork travels to Phoenix to play in the Tournament of Champions. The team will share a bus with Timpanogos to the tournament, in which American Fork most recently played three years ago.
"We've been there two times before, so I know from experience what you get there," Clayton said. "You're going to face the elite of the elite. It will be a great test for us."
Out of the Cave
American Fork enters the week 3-0, its best start in three years.
The Cavemen have nine seniors, and coach Corey Clayton says it is the deepest team he has coached.
American Fork reached the state semifinals last season and is looking for its first state title since the 2008-09 season.

Gallowitch Registers Goal, but BC Falls to Pfeiffer, 5-1October 16, 2013
BC looks to rebound Saturday against Catawba
MISENHEIMER, N.C.- Brevard College sophomore Drew Gallowitch tallied his first goal of the season, but it wasn't enough offense while Pfeiffer downed the Tornados, 5-1, in a nonconference match at N.E. Lefko Field in Misenheimer, N.C. Wednesday afternoon.
The Falcons (6-6-1) continued to thrive offensively while scoring 16 goals over their last three matches while the Tornados (3-8) remain winless on the road (0-6) despite a 13-shot performance.
Pfeiffer scored twice in the first 25 minutes when Simon Leslie and Trevor Dean tallied a goal each in the 18th and 23rd minute, respectively.
Leslie received a long pass from Niko Andrade and fired a shot that deflected off BC's Juan Mascaro Jr. and into the net while Dean notched his goal off a header following a corner kick from Aldo Ramirez.
The Falcons made it a 3-0 match in the 53rd minute when Nathan Regis buried a penalty kick.
Three minutes later, Corey Davis extended Pfeiffer's lead to four when he converted a shot into the bottom right corner while Ramirez tallied his second assist of the game.
In the 59th, Dean struck again with another header while Luke Janes recorded the assist.
The Tornados avoided the shutout thanks to a Gallowitch goal in the 73rd minute. Gallowitch netted his goal after a Daniel Wheldon shot was rebounded in front of the net.
Both teams enjoyed offensive days while Pfeiffer accumulated 20 shots compared to BC's 13. BC netminder Mascaro Jr. made his first collegiate start and amassed three saves, while Pauli Jussila produced five in the second half. Ryan McPhillips led the Tornados with three shots while nine other Tornados tallied at least one shot.
The Tornados return home for a South Atlantic Conference match against Catawba Saturday at 4 p.m. at Brevard Soccer Field.

I loooooove New Balance. They're totally my shoe of choice once I discovered how wonderful they were about a year ago. Enjoy your walk on a cloud hehe
Oh I am!!! I its like a hug for my feet. They're genius!
Those are really cute and sound exquisite. I'll have to keep these in mind.
I love New Balance! Memory foam shoes? Sounds too good to be true!
right? I didn't think anything of it in the store but when I got home from the first zumba class I wanted to KISS THEM! lol
Ohhh those sound comfy! My b-friend bought me some Nike Free Runs for christmas and I love love love them!
Its crazy how good kicks make SUCH a difference eh? I was looking at the nikes!!! I heard they rock too!
Those sound awesome!
Can I confess that I still prefer any workouts I can do barefoot? Maybe it's nine years of teaching yoga. 🙂 So I guess my feet are my favorite workout shoes!
I do think yoga is best barefoot — but just at home right? Not in public with other peoples crazy bacteria and germs… haha I have seen bad thing happen b/c of other ppl's bacteria! When I used to do mat classes I would sanitize the mat before and after and still get these crazy clogged pores wherever I touched something someone else has rubbed all over. My HAND broke out once! lol
Yay! I totally use shoes as a reward, too. I'm trying to hold out until after my next 5k. We'll see if my feet agree to it…. 😉
You'll rock the race girlie!!! Let me know what shoes you end up treating yourself with! =)
I know this shouldn't be a factor… but ooooh they are so pretty too!!!
bahahaha that's what made me stop in my tracks when I saw them — I wanted function… but this was a bonus! <3
Hott!! OOooo How I love shoes! I am currently wearing my converse "chucks' lately but I look like a 12yr old in them. My feet hurt a lot.
ooohhhh those sound comfy!!! i have to get new running shoes. all that zumba has worn out my orange shoes 🙂
new orange kicks are MANDATORY for you then!!!! <3
I tried Zumba for the first time yesterday. 😉 I felt ridiculous, but I had so much fun!
P.S. I took your advice and bought a cheap toaster oven today! Can't wait to start using it! 😉
you feel less silly and more sassy once you take enough classes to get the hang of it! love love love it!
and hooray for your new appliance! It's going to make your life sooooo much easier! =)
those are super cute!! they sound incredibly comfy too. 🙂 great job on your new fitness routine!
Thanks Ash! Now if only my legs/calves/abs/armpits weren't sore as hell! lol
oh man I love getting new running shoes! my gym shoes in rotation right now are 5 and 1 years old, and I cannot wait for some new ones!
I love that you have your habit in place! I do know what it is like to finally feel like you are craving working out and not dreading it. P.S. you rule!
Hellooooooooooo! I have nothing amazing to say about the shoes because I don't run. I do wear shoes…and shoes like this could probably help give the appearance that I run…but I don't. You may run for me. (And enjoy the amazing muscleness that ensues.)
Ensues. I like that word.
Anywho…just sayin' hola. 🙂 And girl, when are you going to watermark your pics?
Just don't run in them! Sounds like that'd be hard on the knees. I like barefoot type shoes for running. 🙂
no this is for dancing/jumping/cardio — for running I have 200$ saucony shoes that are made correct my foot issues. lol
I need some workout shoes for my non run days. These sound interesting. There is nothing like a new pair of shoes for some extra motivation.
Congrats on sticking to your routine! I'm still working on my routine. When I get back into running I will reward myself with a new pair of Brooks.
First off – congratulations on sticking with your routine! My all-time faves are a well worn pair of flip-flops!
I am addicted to my brooks pure flow! I never in my life thought I would love brooks but I do! maybe I should make a reward if I create a new workout habit!
Congrats and sticking to the routine for 30 days that is awesome, OMG!! I have that exact same shoe, the blue one. I LOVE THEM!!! I got them after I started taking Zumba lessons I needed something that was going to be light but still give me the support I needed for my knees. They have been perfect for ZUMBA, Turbo Fire and other workouts.
I need to get me a pair of these! Mine are on their last leg!
WOW! You're really inspiring me right now! I need to follow your example and commit to a routine for the next 30 days. First thing I need to do though, is make a schedule. Thanks for the inspiration! (And shoe suggestion.) 🙂
Yay!!! Once you get past the first few weeks it becomes second nature!!!! I had to miss my workouts yesterday and today b/c of an injury at bootcamp [I can barely walk so I gave myself forced recovery time] and I'm near tears over not being able to go to my workouts until monday. It becomes so envigorating and def "me-time" that I rellish! I hope you get a routine going too! <3 MWAH! Have a glorious weekend!
Yay!!!! Glad you love them too!!!! So so so head over heels for them!
Congratulations are in order for the passing the 30day mark. You are an inspiration. I hope I have the same discipline. My fave footwear as of now – my ugly Crocs on a day when I run around doing errands
Aww thank you Ellen!!!! Once it becomes a habit it's as easy as brushing your teeth… up til that point it seems like a challenge for sure! Best of luck with your goals — I know you'll kick butt! [even in Crocs! haha]
ahhh I love you girly! I think I'm finally catching up on blog land and miss you so!!!! How are you!? And I totally started watermarking thanks to your fantabulous peer pressure — but I'm not sure I like how it looks on my photos? any tips? Hellllp! <3

Hello could you add pyrit support thanks
Thank you for ansewr me. I hope that something you can do about my request
Sorry for my english.
You are very kind
Hello could you add pyrit support thanks
@hausoo - Ill work on it

First off, I'd like to say that while I have OSWP this tool is still amazing, and I would definitely use it if I could. Why can't I? you ask. Well. I'd be happy to share. Sorry for the long post but this whole thing got me frustrated.
My saga starts off when I updated my kernel from BT5 r1 to r2. Everything was fine. I then realized the only tool in my arsenal that was not updated was fern. So I clicked it. And sure enough, an update button was there. So I clicked it. It downloaded and updated, saying things like: Downloading, Downloading complete, Please restart program. So I did. When I did, the GUI looked NOTHING like what it should have, and the button that I assumed was an update button said above it, New version available. So I clicked it. It said Downloading, Downloading complete. Then it hung for about ten minutes. When I gave up, I tried clicking the program icon again, and got the "Open With" KDE menu... Hmmmmm... That shouldn't have happened... I opened up aterm to run it manually, and lo and behold, EVERY SINGLE FILE AND FOLDER IN /ROOT WAS DELETED!!!! Thats right, I had lost MONTHS OF WORK!!!! So I reverted to an old snapshot, and followed the same procedure, again EVERY SINGLE FILE AND FOLDER IN /ROOT WAS DELETED!!!!. I'm not sure why such a thing could happen, but it happens in both the r1 kernel and the new r2 kernel. As I'm currently taking PWB, I have some suggestions but they are probably wrong, so I'm not going to say anything. But please resolve this issue.
When I ran it the second and third time, I downloaded the code directly from the link in your google code repository. That should be fairly secure.

OMG!.. Im so sorry for this , i'll resolve this issue as soon as possible..

I did a process flow trace of what happened in your case, Please correct me if i am wrong, i'm only trying
to really understand what really happened there, the reason is that, this is the first time i am reading a bug report like this about Fern,
Did you use the SVN or deb installer?.
if SVN then my guess is that:
1. you SVN-Up on root directory
root@bt:~# pwd
root@bt:~# svn http://fern-wifi-cracker.googlecode....-Wifi-Cracker/
Now what i want to know is if a "Fern-Wifi-Cracker" directory was created by the SVN process
if the folder was not created with the sub files therein, that must have been the cause of the problem.
That's because Fern-Wifi-Cracker algorithm works this way:
1. Assumes its working directory is the fern-wifi-cracker directory or some other custom directory, but in a directory.
2. Downloads new update files to /tmp/
2. Deletes all files in the working directory, and replaces them with the new files
3. Then asks the user to restart
My guess is that execute.py and its package files where not in any directory when ran, but all in the /root/ as the current working directory.
Please confirm this case, but if not correct, then please describe in more details the look of things before the program was ran.
I'm currently working on a new update for Fern (WPS Support) and new codes to the Mac tracker, so a thorough description of the problem would be helpful,
if my guess of the problem was'nt right.
Am VERY SORRY ONCE AGAIN, I'm Awaiting your reply.
Saviour Emmauel Ekiko
Ok so here's what I originally did, and here's what I did now. I originally downloaded the code from the sticky in the bt4 forums, then ran dpkg -i fern-wifi...
Then ln -s /usr/.../Fern...Desktop /root/Desktop/ (i have kde)
then I clicked the icon, and thats when it all happened as I told you before.
Now, a few moments ago. I ran svn co http:/.../Fern/ and got it that way. When I chmodded execute.py it ran fine. But, while I had created a new directory to send it to, I accidentally ran the svn command in /root/. So the Fern-wifi folder was now in root.
I had already created a symbolic link in /usr/bin. I mv'ed the Fern-wifi directory into my new directory and recreated the link. Then I reran fern. And sure enough, all the Files in root were gone. BUT, the folders that were in root, and the files in them still remained. I reverted to a snapshot again, and this time ran the svn co command in /root/fern/ like so:
root@bt:~# mkdir fern
root@bt:~# cd fern/
root@bt:~/fern# svn co https://fern-wifi-cracker.googlecode...-Wifi-Cracker/
ran well, got the files. Next step.
root@bt:~/fern# cd Fern-Wifi-Cracker/
root@bt:~/fern/Fern-Wifi-Cracker# chmod +x execute.py
root@bt:~/fern/Fern-Wifi-Cracker# ./execute.py
runs beautifully. And I think I figured out the problem. Here's what happened next:
root@bt:~/fern/Fern-Wifi-Cracker# cd /root
root@bt:~# ln -s /root/fern/Fern-Wifi-Cracker/execute.py /usr/bin/fernwifi
root@bt:~# fernwifi
that runs, but when I tried to update, even though I had the newest version, as I was troubleshooting, sure enough, once again all my files had disappeared. So the issue seems to stem with the assumption that fern is running from its own custom directory NOT the pwd you want it run from. Let me know.
World Domination is such an ugly phrase. I prefer the term World Optimization.
Thanks bro, ill work on the fix
Saviour Emmauel Ekiko
all went well on BT5 and BT5 R1.
after a complete new installation of BT5 R2 x64 KDE i installed via the 1.2 DEB package, upgraded to 1.5 via update button, now i have 2 strange problems:
wifi cards only show up as "wlan0" or "wlan1", but not as the automaticly created "mon0" interface.
start scanning with enabled "showing xterm" over option-menu doesnt gave me any xterm window.
whats wrong with that?
(sorry @ shadowmaster for hijacking this thread)

July 2009
We get some unusual phone calls here in the magazine office. I think it has something to do with Google and keywords. The World Wide Web and Google are now everybody's information service, their "4-1-1" if you will, and that's where the keywords come in. People "Google" a word and search results contain a link to our website and they find our phone number on the website. Words like "ranch," "meat goat," "mesquite," and "Dorper" bring in the calls.
I've gotten many calls from Mexico and Central American countries where the caller is wanting to buy goats or sheep. Usually they speak only Spanish but they try their best to communicate in English.
One day, Sarah, who used to work for us, came busting into my office. "Talk to this guy on the phone! I can't understand a word he's saying. He keeps repeating something like 'Darba Cheeves, Darba Cheeves,' over and over, and I don't know what he wants!"
I took the call and asked him in Spanish what he was calling about. "Yo quiero comprar unos Dorpers," he said, "I want to buy some Dorpers." When I get those calls I explain that we are a magazine, una revista, and that we write about Dorper sheep and Boer goats, but we don't sell them. Then I always give the caller some names out of our Breeder Directory to call.
Just the other day a TV producer from the British Broadcasting Corporation's production arm called me looking for participants for a TV reality show they were doing. Maybe you've seen it. The U.S. version of the show is called "The World's Strictest Parents." As the producer explained it to me, two extemely spoiled and bratty British teens are made to live with a host family for a week and their experience doing so is recorded and edited into an episode. The BBC producer said she was looking for a potential host family in Oklahoma or Texas to give the kids a hard time, make them do chores and be the "World's Strictist Parents." I told her I'd pass the word along.
One day several years ago, about the time anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan was camping and protesting alongside the road to President George W. Bush's ranch near Crawford, Texas, a reporter who said he was with the Los Angeles Times called me. He wanted to know just what constituted a "real ranch" in Texas, and did President Bush have enough acres to be calling his spread a real honest to goodness ranch? The reporter had found our website by Googling the word "ranch" or "Texas ranch." I guess he figured we were the ranch experts.
"Depends on what your definition of 'ranch' is," I told him. "How many acres does the president have?" I asked.
"Bush only has 1,600 acres," he replied.
"Well, near Waco, Texas, 1,600 acres would support quite a few animal units, so I guess you could call that a real livestock operation, all right," I answered his question. "Yep, that qualifies as a ranch."
The Times reporter seemed a little miffed at that. I guess he wanted me to say, "Heck, no! You call that a ranch?! Why, Bush wouldn't know a ranch from a Kennebunkport country club." That way the reporter could add to the hit piece he was writing and run it in the L.A. Times.
One day I got a call from a newspaper reporter from a big daily in Florida. He had noticed a lot of people in his area were raising goats and he wanted to know just what that was all about. "Well," I began the usual explanation, "There is growing interest in raising meat goats, breeds such as the Boer goat, Spanish goats . . ."
"What!?" the reporter stopped me in mid explanation. "MEAT goats? You mean you EAT these goats?"
"Well . . . yes. That's why we call them 'meat goats,'" I said.
The reporter was quiet for a minute. "Isn't that like eating a dog?" he asked.
I knew this call was going to last a while.

Jack asks:
How do I make a photo/music/data CD using Windows 7 Movie Maker, that will play on DVD/CD players? The ones I make will only play on computers. I am using an Acer Aspire with Windows 7 Home Edition.
Jack, if you thought you were missing something, you weren't. Currently, there is no way to burn a DVD directly from Movie Maker so that it will play on a standard DVD player. However, there is another free program on your computer called Windows DVD Maker, that was designed to do just that. Here's how you do it.
1. Create your movie(s) or photo slideshow(s) as normal in Windows Movie Maker, then click the options menu in the top left hand corner of your screen and select Save Movie, then Burn a DVD. Choose where you want to save your file, and click Save.
2. Once your file is saved, you need to open Windows DVD Maker. So, type Windows DVD Maker into the search bar on the Start menu, and click on the icon to open the program.
3. Next, click the Add items button, and select the file you just saved in Windows Movie Maker. Add as many media files as you want for your DVD. Further options can be found by clicking on the link at the bottom right of this window, but the default settings are likely to be what you want, so once you have your file(s) loaded up and ready to burn, click Next.
4. The following screen will give you some options for selecting a DVD menu. There are a variety of animated menus you can choose from, so scroll through your options on the right hand side to see what fits the theme of your videos. Click Preview to see what each will look like on your TV.
5. You can customize the menu text and layout by clicking Menu text or Customize Menu.
6. When you are ready to create your DVD, insert a blank disc into your disc drive and click Burn.
Now your project is complete and you are free to share your favorite movies on a DVD player of your choice.

The purpose of this ministry avenue is to pray for, encourage, and edify those married leaders who are advancing the Kingdom either in their position in churches or para-church ministries. Our mission is to strengthen married leadership, training the husband and the wife to operate as God sees them, as ONE. According to Jesus' teaching in Matt 19:4-6 God sees our marriages as one flesh as we operate in faith, entering into the covenant of marriage, Jesus instructs us to leave our acts as single male and female and begin to operate as one unit. We believe that this oneness will cause your marriage unit to be an example to others as they enter into marriage.
It is our desire to host workshops, teachings and mini marriage retreats to further our mission, both nationally and internationally. Please feel free to invite other married couples who are leaders in ministry. We ask that your postings be geared towards the strengthening of marriage and the family unit, no event posts unless related to married events. We also ask when adding individuals to the group that you add BOTH spouses, again they are ONE, not two!

One centimeter (cm) equals 2.54 cm. For your pans, whether round or square, 22 cm = 8.6 inches, 24 cm = 9.5 inches, 26 = 10.24 inches and 28 = 11 inches. To determine how much batter you need, and how long to bake the cakes, check out our list here on the Bake Decorate Celebrate site. You'll need to adjust both for the slight difference in size, but not by much. Just make sure your pans are 1/2 to 2/3 full (unless the recipe says otherwise) and check your cakes about 5 minutes before our list tells you it should be done, so that you don't overbake your cakes.

Salk Scientist Vicki Lundblad Shares Her Perspectives on Nobel Prizes, Telomeres, and Risks
When Salk Non-Resident Fellow Elizabeth Blackburn, Carol Greider and Jack Szostak receive the Nobel Prize in Medicine in early December, Salk Professor Vicki Lundblad will have an insider's view. As Szostak's invited guest at the Stockholm ceremony, she will celebrate with the winners that the field of telomere biology is receiving this grand international recognition.
Lundblad, a professor in Salk's Molecular and Cell Biology Laboratory, was a postdoctoral fellow in Szostak's lab at Harvard, where she made a fundamental discovery about the role of the enzyme telomerase in cell proliferation. Lundblad recalls it was a tremendously heady time, to be present at the start of a new area of study. As a young scientist, "it's hard to sleep at night, when you have a sense of the magnitude of the discoveries unfolding."
Lundblad was caught up in a pure basic science problem – how the ends of chromosomes are maintained. It was also an era of strong U.S. commitment to such basic research. "For Jack to get the funding he needed and for me to get a postdoctoral fellowship, it was simple, it just wasn't an issue."
When Blackburn (a professor at UC San Francisco), Greider (then a Blackburn grad student) and Szostak pursued their theories about telomerase working with a ciliated pond organism and baker's yeast – "nobody had a clue" that these findings would have serious implications for human cancer and the aging process, Lundblad said. Ironically, she pointed out, "in today's NIH environment, with the focus on immediate medical relevance, it is not clear this research would have been funded." She added: "that's why support by private philanthropy for basic research is so crucial."
Beyond the issue of ongoing support for basic science, Lundblad says this award-winning work had another key element deserving mention: the scientists were going against the scholarly tide in performing their early telomerase experiments. Remembering her first taste of that scientific creativity and its results, she said: "It is a phenomenal place to be, when you know you are heading in the right direction, and everyone else is looking elsewhere." But going against conventional wisdom requires a free-wheeling environment.
"I came to the Salk exactly because of its support for that environment" of intellectual risk-taking, Lundblad said. Of course, taking such risks means dealing with failure, and Lundblad laughs: "I've had some spectacular failures." But such failures are hugely instructive – and "if you aren't failing occasionally, then perhaps you aren't taking enough risks."
Today, both Lundblad and colleague Jan Karlseder, an associate professor also in the Molecular and Cell Biology Laboratory at Salk, continue to aggressively probe the mysteries of telomeres, working with yeast, worms and human cells to unlock the next big question in telomere biology: how are these natural chromosome termini protected against the cell's tendencies to get rid of DNA ends?
And Lundblad reports that, decades after the first pivotal insights that resulted in this year's Nobel Prize in Medicine, excitement about telomere research in Salk laboratories is extremely high. Enmeshed in what one scientific colleague calls "venture science," Lundblad and Karlseder are both caught up in the challenge of the research and "still losing sleep at night."

Brett Park: 12 acres of history
By Howard Prosnitz, Staff Writer
Teaneck Suburbanite, January 9 2008, p. 2
In 1981, when historian Kevin Wright first began working at the Von Steuben house in River Edge, he observed a young man crossing the footbridge from Teaneck carrying a cannonball.
The young man turned out to be a West Point cadet studying Washington's retreat from Fort Lee. He said he had found the cannonball "over there", gesturing toward Brett Park across the Hackensack River, said Wright.
At Wright's initiative, the township has since enacted an ordinance prohibiting the use of metal detectors in Teaneck's public parks to prevent amateur archeologists from ravaging the ground in search of historical artifacts.
The entire area that is Teaneck today was a bloody battlefield throughout the American Revolution. But Brett Park and the adjacent New Bridge Landing, where Washington's troops crossed the Hackensack River in retreat from the British, have particular historical significance.
"Brett Park is sacred soil. It is part of an American battleground," said Wright.
The 12-acre park at the northwest end of Teaneck may be said to contain the seed from which the American nation took root.
Wright, a historian with the New Jersey Department of Parks and Forestry and president of the Bergen County Historical Society, explained that a surviving deed from 1677 shows that Tantaqua, the last sachem of the Hackensack Indians, sold the land to the Van Buskirk fmaily. But earlier, in 1664, said Wright, Peter Stuyvesant, governor of New Amsterdam, unsuccessfully attempted to purchase all the land that constitutes Teaneck today from Oratum, the last great sachem of the Hackensacks.
Oratam was willing to sell only the land south of today's Cedar Lane because he needed the northern half for his home. If he moved farther north, he would be encroaching on the territory of the Tappan Indians, enemies of the Hackensacks.
"The native poeple lived in small communities," said Wright, explaining that the idea of large tribes dates mainly from the 19th century.
The boundary between the Tappans and the Hackensacks was French Creek. Almost entirely underground today, its origin as an inlet running east from the Hackensack River is still visible looking north from New Bridge Landing.
Dr. Abraham Van Buskirk, a physician and apothecary, who represented New Jersey in the colonial congress under British rule, built a house on the property, Wright said.
When the Declaration of Independence was signed, Van Buskirk, a leading Tory, resigned from the congress and hid in the woods to avoid capture until the British landed when he was commissioned a colonel.
After the war, said Wright, Lord Cornwallis testified that Van Buskirk had rendered essential services to the British forces "being a loyalist of greatest merit who served throughout the whole war with zeal and fidelity."
He and other loyalists, including a substantial number of former African-American slaves who had been offered their freedom in return for service on the British side, were evacuated by the British to Nova Scotia where they were settled on crown land.
At the time of the Revolution, 20 percent of the population of Bergen County consisted of African American, most of whom were slaves, said Wright.
In 1786, Wright said, Van Buskirk filed a claim for compensation for his property, which had been seized by the colonists. A surviving document lists a dwelling house, a gristmill and other out buildings on the land that is Brett Park today.
Van Buskirk, who owned four slaves, also asked for compensation for "one Negro named Sam, 20 years old taken by the rebels."
A large sycamore tree still standing at the north edge of upper Brett Park is believed to have been the door yard tree at the entrance to Van Buskirk's house.

I have a feeling that I'm doing something wrong. I'm trying to query a SIP device on udp/5060 using netcat. You should be able to send it banners, similar to http ones, and get responses from the device.
When I send it a banner, it does absolutely nothing. Usually with http, if you press enter after you send it the string, you get a response. But with this, nothing. For kicks, I also tried to use netcat with a ntp server and see if I get a response. I *think* if you connect to it and press enter, it should return the time and date. But nada.
I have a feeling that because UDP is connectionless and TCP is connection orientated, you might have to do something special in order to receive a response. If anybody has any ideas, help is greatly appreciated.

Widely acclaimed for his work completing Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time saga, Brandon Sanderson now begins a grand cycle of his own, one every bit as ambitious and immersive.
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter.
It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor that transform ordinary men into near-invincible warriors. Wars were fought for them, and won by them. One such war rages on the Shattered Plains. There, Kaladin has been reduced to slavery. In a war that makes no sense, where 10 armies fight separately against a single foe, he struggles to save his men and to fathom the leaders who consider them expendable.
Brightlord Dalinar Kholin commands one of those other armies. Like his brother, the late king, he is fascinated by an ancient text called The Way of Kings. Troubled by visions of ancient times and the Knights Radiant, he has begun to doubt his own sanity.
Across the ocean, an untried young woman named Shallan seeks to train under an eminent scholar and notorious heretic, Dalinar's niece, Jasnah. Though she genuinely loves learning, Shallan's motives are less than pure. As she plans a daring theft, her research for Jasnah hints at secrets of the Knights Radiant and the true cause of the war.

Fantasy/Sci-Fi Fan
"Wow - 45 hours long and leaves you wanting more!"
I have become a big fan of Brandon Sanderson's work and this new series does not disappoint. He has created another interesting world full of rich characters and I can't wait for book two.
The same narrators from the Wheel of Time series re-unite with Sanderson to create another winner. Mistborn, Warbreaker, Elantris, and now this work vaults Sanderson to the top of my must-read list. This book is so good I will gladly listen to it again as a refresher when book two comes out!
Hey Audible, don't raise prices and I promise to buy lots more books.
"It doesn't get any better than this!"
I gave up on the Robert Jordan Wheel of Time series by Volume 5 so never got to Brandon Sanderson's concluding contributions to that series. My first books by Sanderson were those of the Mistborn Trilogy. I was totally captivated by the story and its writing. I avoided The Way of Kings because of its Audible 2 credit price but finally caved because I had lusted so long for something so good as Mistborn. I should not have delayed. The Way of Kings was well worth the price and promises to be one of the best ever series by Sanderson or any SF/Fantasy author. This is Book 1 of the Stormlight Archive.
Coming in at over 45 hours on audiobook or over 1000 pages in print, for some TWoK might seem too lengthy. Personally, for me, it ended all too soon. The book was totally gripping and absorbing. I could not put it down. The writing contains wit and charm, adventure and philosophy, comedy and pathos. It's all there, a wide range of human thought and emotion. While constructed of multiple arcs, the writing is completely straight forward, accessible and easy to follow.
I became totally invested in each character and cared for everyone of the good guys and even some of the bad ones. One of the most interesting characters, one named Szeth, is a peace-loving believer in nonviolence but is also an ultimate, ninja-like assassin who hates to but is forced to kill and cries each time that he does. How's that for a crazy mixed-up contradiction. Frankly, I think that Szeth is a metaphor for many of us and our behavior. But among my favorite and central characters were a peasant, apprentice surgeon named Kaladin and a spren named Syl with whom Kal has a rather magical and symbiotic relationship.
Spren appear throughout the book. They were for me various types of conscious energy or spirit-like entities that were part of or associated with almost everything on the planet including specific kinds of thoughts and emotions, wellness and sickness, life and death. They particularly seem to appear when "change" happens and it is at least at this point in the series difficult to know if they are responsible for, contribute to or are just present when changes in anything from one's health to the weather occur.
Speaking of the weather, the environment and particularly the atmosphere of the planet and how the geology, flora and fauna have evolved within the influence of extreme weather is integral to the storyline. The book describes and develops half a dozen interesting and well defined fictional races. Wars exist on the planet among them over the power and dominance brought by the magical weapons known as Shardblades and Shardplates. And, while war is one of the central themes of the book, descriptions of battles and war do not dominate the narrative.
What came across most movingly, uniquely clear and beautifully written were the two human qualities of love and compassion. I do not think that those two attributes have ever been more deftly portrayed than it is in this book. Some of my other favorite SF/Fantasy writers including Dan Simmons and Peter F. Hamilton while brilliant in almost every other respect, fail to adequately communicate those two essential qualities of our nature. Other authors talk about it, their characters go through the motions and maybe say the words but I just do not always "feel the love" in their writings like I do in reading this book. The humanity and heroism portrayed by some of the characters in TWoK were strikingly remarkable. It is another one of those attributes of Sanderson's writing that makes everything more real and capable of eliciting emotions within the reader.
Magic abounds in the book and all of it seems to make sense if ever magic can be made sense of. It was once said that any technology sufficiently advanced will appear as magic and this is that kind magic, magic that can almost be but not quite understood. There is plenty of adventure and excitement contained within the pages and Kate Reading and particularly Michael Kramer bring it all to life. Yes, this is the same duo that narrated the Wheel of Time saga. Their talent was well highlighted there but I believe even more so in The Way of Kings.
This was one great book and the only downside is that Sanderson is so prolific with his other literary pursuits that the sequel to this one is long overdue and the Audible rendition even longer than that.
The Way of Kings is Sanderson's greatest work to date. the characters, the world, the story are all masterfully written, and truly comes to life with the reading of Micheal Kramer and Kate Reading. getting those two to narrate the book was a truly brilliant decision on the part of the publisher.
I cannot say enough good things about this book. from beginning to end, despite the book's length, it held my interest like few books I've read recently. There really aren't any truly slow periods. there are periods without action, or without exposition, or without drama, but there is never a scene that feels unnecessary. Normaly, i only listen to books when I am at work, but this one pulled me in so completely that i listened to it every free moment, and it even kept me up into the wee hours of the morning, unable to tear myself away. the last five or six hours were, hands down, the most riveting fiction I have ever encountered, and far beyond what one might expect from merely the first book of what is planned as a ten book series. Where the Wheel of time starts at a slow burn with The Eye of the World, The Way of Kings hits the ground running.
The Stormlight Archive is the new face of epic fantasy, like the Wheel of Time was before it. Sanderson has truly come into his own on this one.
"Very enjoyable (but a slight warning)"
I really, really enjoyed this book. The performances and story easily in my top five favorite Audible titles.
I was was introduced to Sanderson by listening the Mistborn series (which I enjoyed). Sanderson is very good at making his characters three dimensional as well as bringing his settings to life. He creates a full background and mythology for his characters that give a fullness to the experience of his stories.
The performances here are top notch. I significantly preferred the sections performed by Michael Kramer but both narrators fit their main characters well and do a great job of creating separate, distinguishing voices for their characters.
HERE'S THE WARNING: This book does not have a complete ending. I hadn't realized that book two isn't out yet. When I finished this book, I was ready to skip all of the other titles on my listening list and go straight into the next book. I've listened to enough preexisting series (Dresden Files is a good example) that I expected to continue the story when this book left me hanging. I know I'm spoiled and I'm whining a bit but hurry up! I was already feeling extremely impatient waiting for Rothfuss's next Kingkiller Chronicles (another don't-miss-it series with a similar epic feel to Sanderson's) but now I've definitely become a whiny-baby.
The book does have a partially satisfying ending but, like most series premiers, it leaves many things unresolved and many questions unanswered. This book is still on my list of must-listens but be prepared to long for book two.
"Can't wait for more"
This is a very, very long book. When it ended, I wished it were ten times this length. By the end, I truly cared for all of the main characters, and I'm eager to know what happens next. I didn't care as much for some of the intermissions, because they tended to focus on more disposable characters, but mostly just because I wanted to know what was going to happen to Kaladin, Dalinar, and Shallan. It's a great book, and I think it is required reading (or listening, I suppose) by every fan of epic fantasy.
The narration is really good. It took me a little while to adjust each time the narrator changed, but both narrators were great.
"Best fantasy book EVER written!!!"
If I could give more stars I would. I am a fan of Brandon Sanderson's other works, along with the wheel of time series. I also have listened to 'A Song of Fire and Ice' series, 'Harry Potter', 'Twilight', 'The Dark Tower', 'The King Killer Chronicles' and several other fantasy series type books. This one is by far the very best. There is not even a close second. Can't wait for book 2 to come out.
"Loved the Book, One Glaring Narration Issue"
I loved this book. Of course it was a little slow at first, but that's to be expected when background information is being given at the beginning of any long novel. The characters are well developed and you care about what happens with them. I got a little tired of the jumps back and forth in time, but that was only minor. The glaring flaw was in the narration. Michael Kramer and Kate Reading do a great job and unlike other reviews I have no problem with their style. Toward the very end of the book though the pronunciation of Sadius was changed by Kate Reading to the point where I was asking myself if a new character had been introduced somewhere that I missed. I soon figured out who she was talking about, but it's one of those little things that grate on the nerves every time you hear it. It doesn't seem too much to expect that pronunciation of names be consistent throughout an entire series let alone a single book. The producers should be embarrassed to put out a final product with such an amateur flaw. Audio books should be edited as properly as written books.
"Brandon's Best Work Yet"
I read Warbreaker when Brandon became Robert Jordan's successor, as I wanted to measure his writing style against my expectations for the Wheel of Time. I have since devoured every novel (except the Alacatraz books) he's written. I expected TWoK to be on par with all his other excellent works, but I was completely blown away. This is far and above Sanderson's best work, and that's really saying something because all his other books are, in my opinion, outstanding.
Oh, and Michael Kramer and Kate Reading are awesome. That is all.
Say something about yourself!
"Sanderson continues to impress"
I was introduced to Brandon Sanderson when he was hand picked to finish the Wheel of Time series after the passing of Robert Jordan. I was impressed with his work on the WOT series, and have since enjoyed several of his books. The Way of Kings is a tremendous beginning to a series that has the potential to be epic in its own right.
The character development was awesome. The deep rooted sense of honor of Dalinar, the earned cynicism, mistrust, and self doubt of Kaladin, The internalized pain of regret of Szeth, the planned deceitfulness of Shallan; the characters exhibit a wide gambit of traits typical of everyday humans in our trek through life.
The premise of the story at first, seems to be a touch disjointed as the you are introduced to the various characters spread throughout the world, seemingly with no connection what so ever. The quotes at the beginning of the chapters from people just before death? What do they have to do with anything? The characters lives are revealed to be more and more intertwined as the story develops and the quotes are also shown their relevance near the end of the book. The lost histories of the Knights Radiant and the importance of their apparent betrayal of the humans are bound to have a key to humanity's survival of the Last Desolation.
Micheal Kramer and Kate Reading continue their simply amazing narrations. They both have an astonishing number of vocalizations they impart to the various characters, allowing us to connect just that much more with the story.
If you are a fan of fantasy, this should find its way onto your 'must-read' list.
"Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination"
"I will protect those who cannot protect themselves."
"AMAZING!!! (from a non-fantasy/sci-fi fan)"
I was pressured to download this book by a sci-fi loving boyfriend and sister. Since it was so long, and only one credit, I went ahead. I expected to let it sit in my library to get them off my back, but instead started listening to it while in traffic one morning. I stayed in my car for an extra 20 minutes in the parking lot because I couldn't get enough! I have seen some reviews that say the entire book is character development. Aren't all stories? The narration was incredible - as was the recording (although Kate and Michael pronounce one of the main characters names differently at the very end of the book which was a little confusing at first). I cannot wait for the next one!

So.. I'm new to backtrack - not new to linux, but I'm far from what would be considered knowledgeable.
I've googled this to a large degree, and I've done a quick forum search here, and I've not found anything helpful.. if I'm just blind, please feel free to slap me and point me to the correct thread.
I'm running a nvidia 8800GT, with the most recent nvidia drivers (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.53-pk1).. I've been trying to get dual monitors set up, and I've gotten oh so very close... with one problem.
The monitors are not arranged as they should be.. my primary is the one on the right, when it should be the one on the left.
The following xorg.conf file is what has gotten me this far:

Very nice and thank you so much. Looks like I can manage from here. Going to hook up a projector to test and see.
Edit: Awesome it works with the projector. Found the settings I need. Thanks so much.

Register and Researcher's Guide
Background and Historical Signifigance
In June 1984, the Dal-Tech Alumni Association celebrated the 100th anniversary of the first public high school in Dallas. Private schools have been established in the area in the 1840s and 1850s, but it was not until 1884 that Public Education became a concern. In that year, the city purchased the Dallas Female Academy on Bryan Street between Peal and Kawkins and renamed the school Central High School. While the building was being renovated classes were held in rented space on Elm at Akard Street. The building was ready in 1886 and the first graduates received diplomas in 1887. In 1908 a new building on the same site was completed and the name changed to Dallas High School. Although the name changed several times since 1908, and various improvements and enlargements have been made, the site has been continuously used as a public school.
The school, under the name Dal-Tech High School, in 1928 became the first school to offer a wide range of vocational courses along with regular basic academics. The school was open to Dallas students regardless of the usual district boundaries which generally designate schools. After the school was integrated in 1965, under the name N.R. Crozier Technical High School, it was open to all Dallas students. At present the future of the school, as the Business Magnet School, depends on the plans for a Super Magnet School. It is not known what will be done with the building if the Business Magnet School's students are transferred to a Super Magnet.
Chronology of Name Changes
1884 Central High School
1908 Dallas High School
1916 Main High School
1917 Bryan Street High School
1928 Dal-Tech High School
1942 N.R. Crozier Technical High School
1972 Business Magnet School

Scope and Contents
The Dal-Tech High School Collection contains annuals (yearbooks), senior class publications, high school newspapers, photographs, scrapbooks and trophies tracing the school's history from 1900 to 1970. These various items reveal the course work and student activities along with a young adults' view of city, state and national news.
The annuals, senior class publications and scrapbooks cover almost the entire 100 years of operation. They are filled with pictures, descriptions and the dreams of high school students. The newspapers give insight into what forces affected Dallas' future leaders, such as: WWI, the Depression, WWII and the Korean War.
The collection is a good source for the history of education in Dallas, biographical information concerning the students who attended, and social standards and events from 1900 to 1970.

SC-BTT190 is rated out of 5 by 4.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Big bang for the buck Originally wanted to build my own system around my shelf speakers and looked for a component receiver to start. Researched online and in stores and realized building my own system on a budget would take longer than I wanted. Stretched my price point slightly but more wattage. SO GLAD I bought this system. I only wish it had an HD Radio tuner...I would have paid a few extra bucks for that.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Good Value I bought this to replace a Panasonic DVD carousel home theater system that broke. Wish I could have found another of those for the carousel feature. Overall for the price this unit is very good. Those little speakers combined with the center and subwoofer put out a really nice sound. My room is about 400 sq ft and it does a fine job of filling the space with sound. You won't be shaking the windows, but at this price point, it is a great value. Worth considering.

How To Guided Tutorials
What do I do in the unit has no power?If the unit is not powering on, remove the power cord plug from any power strip it may be connected to and plug directly into the wall outlet.
How do I connect a Panasonic home theater system to my TV?Panasonic recommends that you use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI output of your Blu-ray disc player to the HDMI input on your TV. Then place your TV on the correct HDMI input using your TV remote control.
What should I do if I am not getting any sound from the center or the right speaker?Center Speaker
Check the speaker wire connection on the back of the unit. Unplug the speaker wire from the back of the unit, and then reinsert it into the center speaker slot on the back of the unit. Next, go to the unit's audio settings and perform a speaker test. If you are using a stereo channel source or the unit has no center channel encoded, turn on the "Super Surround" option.
Right Speaker
The right speaker of the center channel is a "Super Tweeter" it along with the full range speaker produce a more natural sound even though you may not hear audio coming from the super tweeter. Super tweeters produce high frequencies which may not be heard at all times.
How do I use the ARC feature with my home theater system?ARC is an abbreviation for Audio Return Channel. To use this feature the HDMI cable you are using must be compliant to HDMI v1.3 spec or later. Older cables may not work correctly.
VIERA Link can work with either the HDMI- ARC feature of a compatible TV.
For ARC usage make sure that the systems HDMI ARC port is connected to the TVs ARC port.
1. Press [HOME].
2. Select "Others" icon and press [OK].
3. Select "Setup" and press [OK].
4. Select "Audio" and press [OK].
5. Select "TV Audio Input" and press [OK]. Then select the "ARC" option.
Afterwards the TV's ARC feature will control the home theater system and the sound from the TV will be heard through the systems speakers.
