Maybe im missunderstanding what you are trying to solve, but wouldnt it just be easier to boot with bt irqpoll
I'm a bit noob to linux/backtrack about 3 weeks in now. And I couldn't find a dedicated guide on how to enable this card, so when I stumbled across the answer I thought i'd share it. At the beginning I found a few of the guides a little hard to follow. So I've made this as easy to follow as I can. Hope it's of use. Sorry if it comes across a little patronising.
Open a console and type
cd /usr/src/drivers/ipw3945-1.2.0
Hit enter then type
Hit enter
Your Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG can now be found at eth1
For Those of you that have backtrack2 installed on your hdd. To save typing all that in every time you restart.
Open a console and type
alias 3945="cd /usr/src/drivers/ipw3945-1.2.0"
Hit enter
now all you have to do to enable your Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG is type
Hit enter
Hit enter
replace 3945 with whatever keyword you want as I only used it as an example
Maybe im missunderstanding what you are trying to solve, but wouldnt it just be easier to boot with bt irqpoll
I think this is what he types in to load his card. So instead of typing all the commands, he makes it use a alias word. What does bt irqpoll do and when do you type it (before startx?)
does the 3945abg card support injection???
i'm not sure that is the hardware not able to inject, but i think is that aireplay-ng that does not support injection on the ipw3945 hardware.
If i'm right, you can use "scapy" to inject manipulated packet, but it's harder to use !!!
Where there's life there's hope
You can also just do this:
That will also load the drivers for your card.
For those interesting in packet injection, you may want to check this out: (forums.remote-exploit.org/showthread.php?t=6295&highlight=mac80211)
Check out the third link that he posted (I can't post links yet, not enough posts).
I haven't been able to get it to work yet, but it looks promising. I think the problem with packet injection is the intel drivers don't support it.
in order to test injection
ifconfig eth0 up
iwconfig eth0 mode monitor
aireplay -9 eth0
will test injection but you need to have aircrack 0.9 suite ......
Watch your back, your packetz will belong to me soon... xD
BackTrack : Giving Machine Guns to Monkeys since 2006
the intel drivers do NOT support injection..........
What am I missing here? In the Linux Distribution wifimay-0.4, it looks like they achieved injection. Refer to

SACRAMENTO, CA -- California lawmakers have introduced a bill that would mandate that at least 50% of the food sold through vending machines on state property meet accepted nutritional guidelines by Jan. 1, 2015. The proposed legislation (AB 459) would then require 75% compliance with the guidelines by 2016, and 100% compliance by 2017. The bill would also require that 100% of vended beverages on state property meet the accepted nutritional guidelines by 2016.
Beverages approved under the proposed guidelines include water and carbonated water products without added caloric sweeteners; 1%, 2% or fat-free milk, and nondairy alternatives with no added caloric sweeteners; 100% fruit juices and 100% vegetable juices (with a 200mg. sodium cap). Fruit-based drinks with at least 50% fruit juice, limited to 12-fl.oz. containers and containing no added caloric sweeteners also qualify as "healthy" under the proposed rules.
Sports drinks also meet the criteria, provided they contain no more than 42g. of added sweetener per 20-fl.oz. serving. Rounding out the options are calorie-free unsweetened or artificially sweetened beverages.
Under the proposed rules, "healthy" snacks sold through vending machines would contain no more than the following: 35% of total calories from fat, 10% of total calories from saturated fat and 35% of total weight from sugar. There would be exceptions for nuts, whole-grain products and individually wrapped cheese, among other foods.
Additionally, the guidelines would require that snack selections in vending machines be free of trans fat, and not exceed 200 calories or 230mg. of sodium per serving. Individual entrée items could contain no more than 500 calories per serving and 480mg. of sodium.

I seriously had no idea we had so many creative people in our midst. Below are some of the entries. We picked two first place winners – can you guess which ones won? Also among them is one designed by our president. Can you guess which is his? Be sure to post a comment so I know whether you're a good guesser or not. After is the big reveal – the two winning entries and their creators, along with some insight on how they did what they did with Sharpies.
I'll never walk by their offices the same way again. Enjoy!
I love the Cubs so I just thought it would be great to do my name in lights on the Wrigley Field marquis. It's the only chance it will ever be there.
I found some pictures on the internet. I also had some books at home. I kinda got the details there. I tried to add as much detail as possible. It's not a lot. A lot of red and white. I tried to get it as close to the original sign as possible.
I used the Sharpie red ultra-fine to outline all the letters. I used a Sharpie Pen in black. And I used one of the new Cafe Coleurs for the brick – the Pomegranate one. I used Sharpie fine points for coloring.
I did it at home on a Sunday, after my kids were in bed. I have two girls, 6 and 4. My wife was in bed too. It was pretty pathetic.
I wanted bold colors and I really like red, I figured why not open up the cardstock. I figured most people probably did there's in half. I opened it so I could get more color. I wanted to color the whole entire piece of paper.
It took me about 3 hours. All the outlining really took awhile.
Growing up as a kid, all that was on in the house was the Cubs. I grew up in the South Suburbs of Chicago so I'm supposed to be a Sox fan. We Cubs fans kind of band together - there's actually a lot of us on the South Side. Cubs are a real passion of mine. I follow them everyday. My friends and family, it's all we talk about.
I havent' taken an art class since 6th grade, but I doodle a lot in meetings. I like to goof around. I get a lot of inspiration form my kids because we do a lot of art projects. I got back into drawing and coloring beause of them. I'm not really an artist, I wouldn't say. My brothers and sisters and dad are all very artistically inclined.
I've always been a fan of Sharpie. I worked retail in high school and college and we would always go to the stationery section and take out markers and use them for work purposes. You always looked for a Sharpie laying around and not being used and swipe it. I love the markers. Absolutely love them. I don't know what it is I love – the colors, the design, the way it looks and feels in your hand. The retractable version. Office supplies and pens, pencils and markers in general, I don't know what it is, I just love them.
Mariola Dudzicka on her monogram nameplate (Mariola is in our consumer affairs department):
I used the Sharpie Pen to create my nameplate. I chose it because of the nature of the drawing and I needed something very fine. It's a miniature, a very small picture, so the details are very small and tiny so I needed something I could finish. Sharpie actually gave a very fine line. I'm not an artist but I think I have the gift. I like to draw. I like to play with the pens and markers. In my spare time, I draw.
I learned to draw in high school. I had an art class. I've always had an interst in art. I am very touched by the arts. I like to collect things, drawings, pictures. I'm in a museum on a regular basis.
I really like to be around the arts and I admire impressionism. I like Monet, Van Gogh, Rembrandt.
Sometime ago I collected monograms for embroidery to make with a needle and I had a small collection. I had the embroidery monogram pictures in front of me but made the nameplate drawing freehand.
I'm was born in Poland. I've lived here for 16 years and worked at Sharpie for 4 years.
I do laces. I learned all kinds of styles but my favorite is bobbin lace. It's a little tool that you tie the threads and wave them in your hands. I learned in Poland from my mother and from a friend, and at a culture center where I took classes.
I made the nametag at home, gradually over the weekend. It wasn't that much time. I made the composition in pencil first. It took total about 5-6 hours.
I was stunned when I won. I didn't expect that I would win. It was a really nice surprise. I had a lot of fun doing it and that is the real reward.
Ben Gadbois' nameplate (Ben is president of Sharpie):
I know when it comes to presidents and fun, that Zappos guy gets all the glory. But I think Sharpie's president Ben Gadbois deserves some snaps. Look at his entry!
This took some time and effort, people! I haven't had a chance to talk to Ben but my take is it's an ant farm. See those little black stick figures in there? Those are ants. And all the swirly trails and the green grass? That's a farm. Of course art is a matter of interpretation (is that yellow for the sun and blue for the sky? And whose reflection is that in the the gold nameplate???) Art can be so mysterious. And personal. Speaking of, get personal with Sharpie and send us your Sharpie creations. Visit sharpieuncapped.com and hang out your own Sharpie shingle.

Warning: Very little of this blog item deals with free/open source software. In fact, with the exception of some historical references or discussions in the periphery, there's little here on FOSS. It doesn't mean you shouldn't read it; on the contrary, you might welcome the break from my tilting at windmills and read something slightly more important.
This blog deals more with the human condition, or specifically Ken Starks' human condition, and baseball, as well as why sometimes you need to step outside the proverbial batter's box to get some perspective.
As many of you already know — and for those of you keeping score at home — back in the spring Ken and I planned to go to the Astros-Giants series in Houston at the end of August. Let me back up: Ken and I have been planning to go to a ballgame since 2008, since we teamed up to organize the Lindependence Project, and never got around to it until now. Last week, he and I went to Minute Maid Park to watch the three-game series and, as one might expect, the Giants swept.
That's all the gloating I'm going to do. Honest.
As many of you also already know, Ken's about to go under the knife for larynx cancer surgery, which many of you heard about through FOSS channels; and I would be remiss if I didn't thank you for pitching in like most of you did. As far as the trip was concerned, we were touch-and-go on whether Ken was able to make the trip due to the fact that he may have had a quick reservation for a table for one at the hospital where his surgery will take place. But finally he was cleared for travel, and we ended up watching the series at Houston.
Let me tell you something about Ken that he relayed to me in conversation between innings, and I don't think he'd mind if I mention it. I thought the topic was somewhat obvious to me, yet I think Ken may feel it bears repeating.
It is this: Some may be under the impression that he's down for the count; that he's lying in bed waiting for death. Clearly he's not.
I got the impression that he finds it irksome that some may think he is somehow disabled or on the fast track to becoming an invalid. To say Ken has a lot on his plate at the moment is an understatement: In juggling the news of his possible mortality with negotiating the maze of the American health care system, all while continuing his day-to-day life, I think Ken wants folks to understand that he's still standing.
Whether it's just his Texan nature or just the fact he's an incredibly tough guy (and I'd want him on my side in any fight), Ken's continuing to do what he's always been doing while he waits for the next step on his fight against cancer. Of course, that would include getting underprivileged kids computers with Linux on them, and promoting FOSS with the same passion and zeal, just as he has been doing all along. In short, he's just getting things done; not for the accolades or for the fanfare, but because a.) it's what he does, and b.) it's the right thing to do.
No, he hasn't got the strength in his hands that he used to, and there's a self-consciousness about "the PVC pipe sticking out of my throat" that a bandana conceals. He speaks in a hushed tone now, or what he refers to as his "Godfather voice;" a voice that may even be more quiet in post-surgery. But with each time that Ken gets floored by chemo or radiation treatment — let alone by surgery — it seems he gets up off the proverbial mat, dusts himself off and is asks, "Is that all you got?"
Today, Ken blogged about the Linus Torvalds-Miguel de Icaza dustup when I'm sure he's had some other, more weighty, things to think about. During my visit to Houston, we talked a lot about how many kids were being helped in Taylor, north of Austin, by Reglue (formerly the HeliOS Project) and how this is going to continue as he recovers. In other words, it was pretty much business as usual with a couple of hurdles in the near future to overcome.
Some of you already know this story: Ken and I would probably have never met, let alone be on speaking terms, if it wasn't for FOSS. I wrote about it here before he and I actually met in Felton for Lindependence in 2008. Videographer Christian Einfeldt of San Francisco filmed much of Lindependence that year and did an interview with Ken and me that you can find on archive.org if you do a search for Lindependence, so you can see the Mutt and Jeff, the Laurel and Hardy, or the Abbott and Costello first-hand in unedited form.
I'm proud and honored to know Ken and I'm proud and honored to consider him a close friend and a teammate in the wide world of FOSS. And if he gets on base, you can bet I'm going to drive him in for a run, just as I know he'd do the same for me. It's what players on the same team do.

Thank you Larry for a great tribute to whom Ken really is. He is the kindest, most selfless man I have ever had the priviligle to know. As most of you know, I had several strokes about a year ago and am continuing to heal due much to Ken's strength. Trust me, there were times I wanted to give up, but he gave me the strength to keep going and it is that strength that gives him his positive, can-do attitude. I can't tell you how much he enjoyed going to the games with you. And be it said, you forgot to mention the sacrifice you made, a)getting time off work, b) traveling to Texas so you could sit in 100 degree weather and c) juggling all the travel arrangements at the last minute because it was unknown where Issaic would hit. That is a true friend! Again I thank you. I enjoyed watching the wonderment of the little boy with never a thought about cancer. Thanks to all of you for making this possible.

Since the day Larry first posted this I have visited this post at least two times a day.
If you know these guys you don't need my words and if you haven't had the pleasure
of meeting them I will just say:
Ken Starks and Larry Cafiero will be my first two picks if we ever get the Linux Fantasy
League going.

Gran cuento del Negro, relatado por Alejandro Apo.
La observación de los pájaros – Roberto Fontanarrosa (cuento)
Roberto Fontanarrosa
"I will probably say that I am a comic writer, at the most, and it will be true, I do not care much about the definition that is made of me, I do not aspire to the Nobel Prize for Literature. Come on and tell me: I cracked up laughing with your book "
Who was Negro Fantarrosa?
Negro Fontanarrosa officially known as Roberto Alfredo Fontanarrosa was one of the greatest graphic writers and cartoonist in the world. Born and raised in Argentina, Fontanarrosa lived and worked in Rosario province of Santa Fe where he managed aptly exploit his creativity skills. The Negro name was mainly given to him as a nickname as he was widely known to be affectionate even through his graphic writing and cartoon ideas which were published and produced through the decades.
His Career and Works
Fontanarrosa managed to circulate a great measure of his creative works especially in the Latin speaking nations. He first started with writing and drawing comic strips such as Inodoro Pereyra which featured a gaucho and Mendieta( his talking dog), Boogie el Aceitoso and Dirty Harry were also some of his early finest pieces of creative works. Eventually he further exploited his creative arts potential to writing short stories with a great focus on football/ soccer.
Negro Fontanarrosa did not stop there but went on further to explore his creative arts skills by writing up three novels and seven short story books. El a'rea and La Gansada were two of his bestselling novels. Some examples of the seven short story books he wrote include: Los trenes matana los autos, Nada del otro mundo, La mesa de los galanes etc.
Most of his work is written in Latin which is his native language perhaps due to higher familiarity with it and with the Latin culture. His works have spread out in many Latin nations and have also been published on the Latin American newspapers such as the Colombian El tiempo, Argentine Clarin, Uruguayan La Republica. Negro Fontanarrosa has also been featured in the Mexican magazine Proceso.
He has also worked as a creative partner with the Les Luthiers who were a group of six Argentine members that created both music and humorous shows. In this part of his career he would write great jokes and script shows for them as well combine his ideas with theirs to create great artistic products.
Fontanarrosa also became even more highly reckoned after an animated film known as Fierro was released as he did co- write the script and even design the characters of the animation.
Latter life
Negro Fontanarrosa is still well remembered for his great works as he always produced highly authentic pieces of work in both his writing and his comics as he did state that he loved to make people laugh with his work than he did care about lots of money.
During his latter life in 2003 he was diagnosed with amyotrpoic lateral sclerosis but he never stopped his work until the year 2007, January when he lost control of his hands and could not draw his comics. He eventually died in July of the same year but his great legacy remains alive to this day

Yes, Byrd—dead four-and-a-half years now—was a Kleagle in the Ku Klux Klan.
Rivkin and Foley also point to Raines v. Byrd, a 1977 Supreme Court decision.
But unlike the cases of Biden and Byrd, Democrats, and many in the media, would not rest until Lott was out of the leadership.
Byrd was a 49-year-old black man walking home from a party when three white men in a Ford pickup offered him a ride.
If this was anyone else," Byrd said, "how would be we treat this story?
And, sitting down on the table, he motioned to Mr. Byrd to take a seat upon the block at his side.
In an odd voice Barry offered, "You think it your duty—because Byrd is so rich——?"
Mr. Byrd saw them safely out, and proceeded to take one or two private observations of his own.
The story of the Byrd family is but the story of the Virginia aristocracy.
"Just putting in a few landmarks," explained Byrd, who had run his pencil off in an opposite direction.

Walnut Creek, Calif. • The Pac-12 Conference office announced the 2012 Football All-Academic Team today and Utah led the first-team selections with five. The Utes also placed four players on the second team and another five earned honorable mention honors. To be eligible for selection to the Pac-12 academic team, a student-athlete must have a minimum 3.0 overall grade point average and be either a starter or significant contributor.
Making the first team from Utah were senior wide receiver Luke Matthews (3.69/mass communication), senior offensive lineman Tevita Stevens (3.54/Spanish), senior linebacker Dave Fagergren (3.51/business), junior defensive back Brian Blechen (3.18/sociology) and sophomore defensive back Eric Rowe (3.54/undeclared).

Anderson, Marsh and Rogers were also honorable mention a year ago.

LAS VEGAS — The Miss Universe pageant is weeks away, but before any of the contenders can spark headlines with their answers to politically tinged questions, a new photo shoot for the pageant — featuring some of the contestants topless — is raising eyebrows.
On Monday, at the Las Vegas shoot where Access Hollywood was exclusively behind the scenes, Miss Trinidad & Tobago's LaToya Woods said she expected the photo shoot to be attention-grabbing.
"It's definitely going to raise some [eye]brows, but what's important is that I am comfortable," the beauty told Access. "This is my body and I feel liberated doing this."
LaToya added that she thinks it was a great decision to have the shoot.
"You know that saying, 'Bad publicity is good publicity?' It's going to be good," she said.
AH Nation Poll: Some of the Miss Universe contestants went topless for official pageant photos. What do you think?
Miss USA, Rima Fakih, posed without her top, but with her back to the camera for her shot.
"There [were] options and we were all asked what we feel comfortable with and I told them that I feel comfortable with beauty," she said.
The women were covered in body paint for the shoot and Miss USA was pleased with her pose.
"For me, I like to do the back, I didn't want to do the front for many reasons and one of them being [an issue of] respect," she said. "I'm Arab, I'm Muslim, and I didn't want to disappoint many people."
Miss USA cupped her breasts and bared just her back, while Miss Japan Maiko Itai used her arm to shield her nudity. The latter lady actually passed out after standing up for two hours while being painted in the Las Vegas heat for the shoot.
Miss Haitii, Sarodj Bertin, joined many of the contestants who opted out of the topless option, wearing a bikini and body paint.
Interestingly, she said her mother was a candidate for the Haitian presidency before her murder in 1995. She told Access Hollywood she admires Wyclef Jean, who is currently running for President of the island nation, as a singer, but had different feelings about who should be her nation's president.
"Now politically talking, I believe my country needs someone that knows the problem of Haiti, someone that has studied the society, studied the history," she said.

USC community service totals nearly $9.3 million
By Melissa Gentry, Department of Student Life, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-5937
University of South Carolina students, faculty and staff contributed nearly $9.3 million in time and money during the 2011-12 academic year, according to the USC Community Service Report.
Based on information reported by members of the Carolina community, 30,676 volunteers gave their time to participate in community service for a total of 472,152 service hours. In addition, Gamecocks contributed more than $1.3 million in monetary donations for a total estimated economic impact of $9,288,245.32.
The commitment to service by members of the Carolina community expands each year as more participants give their time and money to impact the local community.
"At USC, the culture of service continues to grow year after year," said Theresa Harrison, coordinator for Community Service Programs. "As a result, we see more community agencies wanting to collaborate with the university to make positive changes here in Columbia."
A result of these efforts, USC was named to the 2012 President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, the highest federal recognition a college or university can receive for its commitment to volunteering, service-learning and civic engagement.
Organized community service programs began at USC in 1989 with the establishment of the Office of Community Service Programs, part of the Department of Student Life, in an effort to make service an integral part of the educational experience at Carolina. Today, the office provides regular service opportunities for the Carolina community ranging from one-day Service Saturdays to three days of service in honor of Martin Luther King Jr., to weeklong alternative break service trips. Academic partnerships offer students the opportunity to participate in semester-long service-learning experiences.
Through a continued commitment to service, Carolina students, faculty and staff develop the lifelong skills to be engaged and active citizens.
"Students, faculty and staff who engage in our programs begin building their lifetime commitment to serving their communities," said Kim McMahon, director of Campus Life/Russell House University Union who oversees the Office of Community Service Programs. "This shapes their character and helps us build stronger communities. We are better citizens and more aware of the needs of others because of our university involvement in our local community."
Community Service Programs challenges students, faculty and staff to continue the service tradition this holiday season by participating in the upcoming Carolina Cares holiday service drive, which runs Oct. 22 through Nov. 20. Individuals or groups can adopt a family and provide them with a Thanksgiving dinner through the Nurturing Center and fill a stocking for a child in need through the Salvation Army. The Carolina Cares drive culminates with the 58th Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony on Nov. 27 at 6 p.m. on the Horseshoe.

Bagh-e-Jinnah ground, previously known as the Lawrence Gardens, dates back to the days of the British rule and, according to historians, cricket started being played here in the 1880. The Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir and his counterpart, of Patiala, had regular fixtures against Lahore Gymkhana, Punjab XI and other teams on this ground.
The ground played host to friendly matches, competitive fixtures as well as a British Army vs World XI and a Commonwealth XI vs Punjab XI before playing host to Pakistan's first unofficial Test against the West Indies in 1948. A few more unofficial Tests later, Bagh-e-Jinnah became a Test venue when Pakistan took on India in 1955. New Zealand and West Indies also played a Test here before Bagh-e-Jinnah lost its Test status as it played second fiddle to Gaddafi Stadium but still hosts tour matches involving visiting nations, especially England.

PCOS and Fertility
Hello everyone,
I am new to the forums and am looking for some supportive information. I was diagnosed with Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome in my teens and never really thought much of it until now. My husband and I are wanting to start our family however we've gone almost a year with no results. It's been difficult because i feel like it is all my fault, I have been to the doctor and i know having PCOS makes getting pregnant difficult but i never thought it would be this much. The doctor naturally is offering medication as my solution but i wanted more information and stories from others who have been through this experience. What's the best route to take, how long could it take, and is there a chance i'll never have a child? I have so many questions but i figure this is a good place to start. Thank you everyone.

Dear Erika,
Many women with PCOS are unable to get pregnant naturally. Please don't feel that it is your fault or feel guilty. Many, many women have PCOS.
Some women who have PCOS are advised to take Metformin in order to reduce insulin levels which can lead to periods becoming more regular and ovulation occurring.
Other women are helped by fertility medicines such as clomifene citrate and tamoxifen. These would typically work within 6 months if they are going to help, if not your doctor should normally review you and look at the next option.
Some women go on to have IVF and successfully conceive this way.
The important thing is that there are lots of options available for you. I think after 12 months of trying it is a wise time to follow your doctor's advice. The majority of women with PCOS who have treatment successfully conceive.
We are also here to support you on this forum.
Warm wishes,

Tornados Sweep Lees-McRaeFebruary 8, 2014
BREVARD, N.C.- The Brevard College softball team swept a doubleheader from the Lees-McRae Bobcats in their 2014 home opener on Saturday afternoon, taking the opener 5-2 and edging LMC 3-2 to complete the sweep.
Game 1: Brevard 5, LMC 2
The Tornados jumped on Lees-McRae starter Celeste Sheppard (L, 0-4) for four runs in the bottom of the 1st on three hits and a walk. Alyssa Miller led off with a double and moved to third on a Brittany Fowler bunt single.
Dallas Heaton plated Miller with a double in the left field gap that moved Fowler to third. Starting pitcher Casey Whitaker helped her own cause with an RBI groundout. Heaton later scored on the throw when Kinsey Parrish stole second. Ally Davenport scored Parrish with a groundout.
Whitaker knocked in an insurance run in the 5th with an RBI groundout, giving BC a 5-0 advantage.
Whitaker (W, 1-0) held LMC scoreless through five, and allowed six hits in the complete game victory. Two BC fielding errors led to a pair of unearned runs to score in the top of the 6th.
Game 2: Brevard 3, LMC 2
Michelle Ray drove in the game-winning run with a bases-loaded single into centerfield with one out in the bottom of the 6th to give BC the 3-2 win and the doubleheader sweep. Lees-McRae had tied the game in the top of the 6th with two unearned runs against BC starter Jamie Hrobak (W, 3-0).
The sophomore didn't allow an earned run in the game, holding the Bobcats to four hits and two walks while striking out eight.
Heaton tripled in Brittany Fowler in the bottom of the 1st to get BC on the board, and Fowler gave BC a 2-0 lead in the 3rd with a successful squeeze play.
The Tornados resume action on Saturday afternoon as they travel to Elizabethtown, Tennessee for a doubleheader with Milligan College. First pitch against the Buffaloes is set for 1 p.m.

Tornados down Lady Cobras at home, 79-58November 25, 2008
Five Tornados score double figures in first victory of the season
Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College women's basketball team overcame home opener nerves to win their first contest of the 2008-2009 season over Virginia Intermont, 79-58.
With the win, the Tornados improve to 1-3, 0-0 in the South Atlantic Conference while the Lady Cobras fall to 2-6, 2-0 in the Appalachian Athletic Conference.
Brevard fell behind early as the Lady Cobras took a 15-12 lead 10 minutes into the contest. After a three-point play by Virginia Intermont's Haley Odle to push the lead to six, the Tornados took over the game by crashing the boards. Both Amanda Whitaker and Holli Flippo recorded five rebounds in the first half for the Tornados as Brevard came back with a 27-14 run sparked by three Amber Roberts' three pointers to go into the halftime break with a 39-29 lead.
The Tornados shot a season-best 50 percent (16-32) from the field in the first half, as well as 41 percent (5-12) from behind the arc, while holding Virginia Intermont to 39 percent (11-28) from the field and just 22 percent (2-9) from three-point territory. The Tornados controlled the boards as they out-rebounded the Lady Cobras 19-13 in building a 10 point halftime lead.
For the half, the Tornados were led by Roberts and Samantha Winn, each with nine points. The Lady Cobras were lead by Jenecia Whitaker and Haley Odle with eight and seven points respectively.
In the second half, Anna Schlobohm came out firing for the Tornados as she scored nine of Brevard's first 11 points in the half as BC built a 50-39 lead. Following several Tornados fast break conversions, the lead would increase to 20 with eight minutes left in the game. The Lady Cobras brought the game back within 14 on a layup by Morghan Arnold, but back-to-back layups by Brevard's Millie Wharton and the physical play by Kelly Hudler stopped the rally short as the Tornados rode the lead to victory, 79-58.
For the game, five Tornados scored in double figures, led by Winn's game-high 15 points. Hudler, Whitaker, and Schlobohm each recorded 12 points for the game, with Flippo rounding out the group with 10. Flippo and Whitaker led the way for Brevard in rebounding as each recorded a game-high eight boards.
Virginia Intermont was led by Nicole Collins with 12 points and eight rebounds. Collins was joined in double figures by Morghan Arnold with 10.
The Tornados are back in action after Thanksgiving break as they host Converse College Saturday, November 29th. Tipoff time in Boshamer Gymnasium is scheduled for 2 p.m. Virginia Intermont is off until Wednesday, December 3rd, when they travel to Bristol, Tenn. to take on King College with a start time of 5:30 p.m.

Egyptian Team Must Wear Zionist Uniform or Play in their Skivvies (JEWISH PRESS) By: Tibbi Singer 04/12/12)

JEWISH PRESS Articles-Index-Top
This is too funny not to be true. Al Ahram reported that Egypts national soccer team is forced to break the Arab Youth and Sports Ministers decision to boycott Adidas, after the sportswear company sponsored the Jerusalem marathon because the national team do not have an alternative kit to wear.
We have no choice but to wear Adidas in the UAE camp as we dont have any other outfits, the Egyptian national teams Executive Director Samir Adly told Al Ahram.
Earlier this month, Saudi Prince Nawaf Bin Faisal, chairman of the Arab Council of Youth and Sports Ministers, announced during the councils meeting in Jeddah that all companies that have sponsored the marathon in Jerusalem, including Adidas, will be boycotted.
So much for Saudi honest broker talk
Adidas was the only non-Israeli sponsor of the race, which the sports council claimed was nothing but an attempt by Israel to mislead public opinion into believing that Jerusalem is its capital which is a violation of all UN resolutions.
I hope the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) resolve this problem when we return from the UAE as we currently have no options but Adidas, Adly added.
The associations spokesman told Al Ahram that they cant just get rid of the teams old clothing. And, besides, the association hasnt received any official letter from the sports council about not wearing the Adidas outfits.
Al Ahram notes The EFA board have had a turbulent few months since the Port Said disaster on February 1, when more than 70 soccer fans were killed following a disputed (obviously) league game. All domestic football activities were suspended due to security concerns. Consequently most of Egypts clubs have suffered from lack of funds.
Hence the need to hold on to the offending, pro-Zionist uniform, or go without
I hope the EFA provide the team with new outfits before we play Mozambique and Guinea next month in the World Cup qualifiers, Adly concluded.
Or put a star of David on them and be done with it (© 2012 JewishPress. 04/12/12)

The smallest of small-time criminals, Ernest Stickley Jr. figures his luck's about to change when Detroit used-car salesman Frank Ryan catches him trying to boost a ride from Ryan's lot.

©2009 Elmore Leonard (P)2010 HarperCollins Publishers
"Fun tale, well told, great narration"
I love Elmore Leonard, and his books are almost more fun to listen to than to read, especially when the narration is as superb as Frank Muller's. These are not sophisticated, serpentine whodunits. They are really more character driven than plot oriented. But Leonard has such an engaging and economical way of characterization that you feel these people really exist -- a feeling enhanced by a narrator who makes each character come alive.
"Dated attitudes, good plot"
Two lowlifes realize they can make a comfortable living doing low-level armed robberies of grocery and liquor stores. They get an apartment in a swingers apartment complex and throw parties with lots of booze, sex and Mantovani records. Then they get bored and try for one big score that will set them for a year. The book was written in 1976, and the white male main characters are products of their time: sexist and racist. Leonard himself seems respectful of the black characters, even if the white characters have to remind themselves not to use the N-word in their company. But he treats the female characters as less significant in every way. That said, the plot is good and dialogue excellent. Bechdel test: fail.
I write for myself, for my own pleasure. And I want to be left alone to do it. - Salinger ^(;,;)^
"They knew exactly what they were doing."
"After the first few weeks he began to take it in stride. They were pros, that's why it was easy." - Elmore Leonard, Swag
I've read/listened to/watched several of Leonard's 90s crime novels (Get Shorty, Out of Sight, etc) but recently I was given Elmore Leonard's 'Four Novels of the 1970s' (Library of America) for my birthday and decided to start with 'Swag'. It was great, gritty Detroit crime fiction. So, in honor of this novel, here are ten rules for Detroit hardboiled fiction:
1. There needs to be a list of rules.
2. There has to be multiple women.
3. There has to be some racial tension.
4. The book can't be longer than 250 pages
5. Dialogue must be both funny and sharp.
6. There needs to be several twists.
7. Drugs and alcohol must be consumed or discussed.
8. There has to be several exit ramps that are missed.
9. Cars have to play a role, even if minor.
10. All rules must eventually be broken.
"Great book!"
One of Leonard's best. Frank Muller does a great narration, too. Highly recommended. I listened to it over a single day, and never lost interest.
"Second rate crooks are not Elmore's best"
The two primary characters are small time robbers (grocery stores, liquor stores, bars) who ride out their luck until they fall in with some serious guys. They were not particularly appealing personalities to me. I appreciate that they did not intend to hurt anyone, but they are so careless and thoughtless that the inevitable happens.
The women are not as one-dimensional as some reviewers believe - there are a few women who really move the story forward. The "career girls" by the pool were a 1970s reality - looking for a bit of fun until they had to settle down. Teachers, clerks, models and other career girls were the ones who could afford to live independently in a singles apartment complex. They were as superficial in their relationships as the guy next door, even if that guy was a petty criminal.
These two guys, however, are not suave and slickly charming; they are insecure, whiny and weak. No one in the book was interesting enough for me to care what happened to them. Many much better Elmore Leonard novels out there (Get Shorty and Pronto come to mind)
Speculative fiction is my genre. Narrative voice (the voice the author wrote the tale in) is very important to me. I love good dialogue.
"Great Read"
Dialogue. Leonard's characters sound about as real as it gets.
The primary protagonist.
Muller's laid-back suspicious tone is a perfect marriage to Leonard's crime characters.
Muller and Leonard are such a good combination, that I started looking at other titles they have together.
"Characters you hope die"
He should learn how people fom Detroit pronounce the street names. And he just sounds so sarcastic all the time. The characters are lousers enough, then his interpretations makes them worse.
I tried and tried with this book. I kept thinking it would get better. But the characters and their attitudes and activities are repulsive in a way. Boring, for certain. Couldn't finish it. A waste of money and time. I listened to one Leonard book and enjoyed it. Then a second which was just ok. But this one, yuk. I'm from Detroit, so the narrator's mispronunciations of the streets and areas was annoying. Would it be so hard to get it authentic?
"It's Dutch, but it's Dated"
Muller is simply superb. He always sounds like himself, but he has a great range of inflections so you recognize different characters. Plus, he always sounds good.
This is Elmore Leonard, so you know it's well done. Still, hardboiled as it often is, the setting is very much dated, and that starts to distract from the whole. It's worth remembering, too, that this is still fairly early Leonard, before the lighter-hearted work of Get Shorty. It's certainly worth reading this one, but temper your expectations. It's about a couple of pros setting out to commit crimes as pros, and that feels more or less like the challenge Leonard set out for himself as he wrote it: understated professional writing.
"Elmore Leonard Fans Won't Be Disappointed"
Yes! I thought Frank Muller did a great job switching between the main characters of Stick and Frank.
It reminds me of Tishamingo Blues because the main characters are criminals. Some of Leonard's books focus on good guys and some focus on bad guys, but they all have tough chicks.
Wheel man + con man = hold up men!
I had never heard or seen this Leonard title before I found it on Audible.com, and I didn't expect to be too impressed. It was certainly a nice surprise.
"Rooting for the bad guys again"
As with the best of Leonard's stories, Swag is very funny as well as suspenseful. Frank Ryan, a used car salesman catches Ernest "Stick" Stickley stealing a car off his lot. Naturally he calls the police and Stick is arrested but not before he ditches the car and is hold up in a bar. As Frank is the eye witness to the crime the entire case rests on his testimony. Frank Ryan thinks he may have a better use for Stick than letting him sit in a jail for grand theft auto.
Frank Ryan has worked up ten rule for perfect robbery. He declines to recognize Stick at court and the two meet afterwards to discuss a possible working relationship. Initially the reader has the impression that Frank is the brains of the outfit. However as we come to know Stick it becomes clear that Stick has a better grasp of what they're doing and how not to get caught.
There are moment when I laughed out loud at the antics of these two stooges. They rob a fortune, live like airline pilots, and as they become confident start throwing away the rules that brought them success.
When it comes to plotting, dialogue and humor in context Elmore Leonard is in a class by himself. There are certain times when nothing will do but one of his books. Swag is a hoot.

Hello,well yesterday i was searching for something from which i can enter windows server 2003.But the search results on this forum made me to think twice before posting any thread regarding this.Because,there are some threads in which users wanted to break into server but there was no solution mentioned instead users got warning or some of them banned.So why ? why only this topic shouldnt be shared.After all we are discussing security for the network and i want to actually show to my network administrators,how weak is there network and what steps we should take.So, is it possible or not ?.(sorry for my bad english,its quite confusing but i hope the smarties here got my point).
Just comply with forum rules, and you won't get banned.
Anything illegal will get you banned, for example.
lol,its just my topic name so you guys give some fast replies.Well,so what i've asked is it illegal ?
Its not your server and you dont have explicit permission to "break into" anything.
If you plan to test Windows Server 2003 to show your administrators about its weaknesses, you'd better have permission or authority to do so, otherwise you're breaking the law.
Is that clear enough? Good.

Dell Earnings Disappoint as PC Sales, Windows 8 Fail to Save It

(Source: greenrightnow.com)
Dell's profit fell 47 percent to 39 cents per share while revenue dropped 11 percent to $13.7 billion
Dell's financial report for the third quarter seems to have missed the targets predicted by Wall Street on many levels due to
sluggish PC sales
For Q3 2012, Dell's profit fell 47 percent to 39 cents per share while revenue dropped 11 percent to $13.7 billion from a year previous (Wall Street expected $13.9 billion). Its net income fell from $893 million (49 cents per share) in Q3 2011 to $475 million (27 cents per share) in Q3 2012.
A large reason for Dell's financial tumble is the lack of demand for PC upgrades. Dell's PC shipments fell 8.3 percent in Q3 2012 from a year earlier.
"In a difficult global IT spending environment we saw solid proof points that demonstrate progress in our strategy," said Brian Gladden, Dell CFO. "A highlight has been the strong progress of our newly introduced servers, with our server and networking business up 11 percent. We're also encouraged by early interest in our new Windows 8 touch portfolio and the opportunities it creates for our commercial and consumer businesses."
Looking forward
, Dell predicts a fourth quarter revenue of $14 billion to $14.4 billion, which is a bit less than the $14.5 billion analysts were shooting for. In Q4 2011, revenue was $16 billion.
In response to all of this disappointing news, Dell stock dropped to $8.81 this morning, which is the lowest its been since March 12, 2009.
While Dell is
looking to Windows 8 for some kind of revival
, the new operating system hasn't provided any immediate boost for PC makers. In fact, Gladden said Windows 8 wouldn't affect Dell's financial results for the next two quarters.
"The client business continues to be challenging," said Gladden. "Commercial customers tend to be lagging adopters of a new operating system. They're going to wait."
To make matters worse, Microsoft doesn't solely depend on PC makers for hardware anymore. Last month, it released its first tablet hardware,
Surface RT
, which features the RT version of the Windows 8 mobile OS. Next year, Microsoft plans to release the Surface Pro, which will run Windows 8 Pro.

SALT LAKE CITY - Most of the attention is usually centered on UCLA's fantastic freshmen, but the team's lone senior made the play the Bruins really needed against Utah.
Larry Drew II scored 12points, including a driving layup to beat the shot clock with 9 seconds remaining, and UCLA held off Utah 57-53 Thursday night.
"I knew they were going to switch. I was still mad I had missed two free throws in the clutch, so I just wanted to make a play," said Drew, who added five rebounds.
Said UCLA coach Ben Howland: "That was a big-time play by Larry Drew, exactly the way we drew it up. He got the ball screen and the switch, and we didn't settle for the jumper. He attacked."
The Utes, who were led by Cedric Martin's 12 points, had three chances to take the lead in the final minutes, but Glen Dean missed wide-open 3-point attempts.
"We were very fortunate. Dean had some wide, wide-open shots and missed them by the grace of God," Howland said.
UCLA's Travis Wear scored 10 of his 12 points in the second half, when his teammates started misfiring.
"I was just trying to be more aggressive as the other guys struggled. I made a couple shots and got my confidence and my motor going there," Wear said.
Jordan Adams also had 12points to help extend the Bruins' win streak to eight games. Kyle Anderson scored 11 as the Bruins (13-3, 3-0 Pac-12) took advantage of nine first-half Utah turnovers, versus just one of their own, to lead by as many as 13 before settling for a 34-23 advantage at halftime.
But the second half was a different story.
"They did a great job packing the paint and forcing us to shoot jump shots. It definitely wasn't as easy as it was in the first half, and they just didn't give us any room," Anderson said.
Playing in front of an enthusiastic crowd that trudged through a major snowstorm, the Utes (8-7, 0-3) dropped their third straight despite Jason Washburn's and Jordan Loveridge's 11 points apiece.

My bub takes over my plate!
Recently, my toddler has been reaching into my plate while I am eating. She always seems to get in for a steal. The problem, I think, is that I looooove spicy foods and hot sauce on pretty much everything. My dear child doesn't mind and actually seems to favor the spicy food she eats from my plate. Is it okay that I let her eat very spicy, pretty much Indian heat, foods?

How awesome you allow her to eat what your eating.
Her palate will develop to that of what your eating.
As long as her gut is tolerating the new foods, you can continue to offer her exactly what you are eating.
I would pay attention to food sensitivities such as, upset stomach, lose bowels, red rings around bottom, fussy baby, constipation.
If you are not seeing any of those...then continue on your amazing journey with trying new foods with her.
7th June 2014 01:32 AM #3
Yes I agree with all of this. Remember that your toddler will also have had a taste for the type of food you eat from your breastmilk; so it is not surprising that she also likes spicy food.
I think it's great - there's no need for toddlers to eat bland, uninteresting or mushy food.

Bountiful • From a pool of 3,000 schools in 545 districts spread across 39 states, one junior high was awarded the National Association of Middle School Principals/Lifetouch School of the Year: Bountiful's Mueller Park Junior High.
Students at Mueller Park received a crystal trophy, a huge banner for their foyer and a check for $1,500 at a Back to School Assembly on the morning of Sept. 6. The award made for a festive assembly where the student jazz band and cheerleaders performed and student-body officers introduced themselves and performed skits for their fellow students.
Principal Joyce Jones received the initial recognition at an awards ceremony in Nashville, Tenn. The school was selected based on its application demonstrating five years of sustainable academic excellence, interventions for highly accelerated students as well as at-risk students, and use of progressive programs. The five top-scoring schools were presented to a committee, which selected the winner.
Jones told students at the assembly how proud she was to be a part of Mueller Park Junior High and how proud she was of them. She said it was a privilege to go to Nashville and let others know how wonderful the school is.
"We talk about honesty and integrity, we communicate, we nurture one another. We are here as brothers and sisters to take care of one another," she said. "This award is just one more thing to remind us that we are doing our best, giving our best and trying to become all that we can be."
Bryan Bowles, Davis School District superintendent, compared the students to a painting he brought from his home.
"It takes individual brush strokes each in its place to make a painting. The artist took paint and brushes, and each piece of color is in the right place to create a masterpiece," he said.
He described the students as a masterpiece.
"Each of you [is] like the colors in this masterpiece, all working together to create something wonderful. Each of you represents pigments, colors and hues that make this the No. 1 junior high school in the nation," Bowles said.
Other attendees at the assembly included Bountiful Mayor Joe Johnson, who said that Bountiful, already a great city, got a little bit greater after hearing about Mueller Park's award.
Gil Lund, the territorial manager for Lifetouch photography, was on hand to award the trophy and document the event with photographs. Lund has been taking pictures at the school for more than 20 years, and he said seeing Mueller Park receive a top award was especially significant for him.
As the assembly closed, Principal Jones asked the students, "Who are you?"
"We are the Mueller Park Panthers! We are the National Junior High of the Year!" they shouted in unison.

If he's not eating the solid do I go to formula?
My 7 month old has been eating solids for two months. I can't tell if he just does not like some of the food or is being stubborn, but he will eat a little then fuss as though he is full. However, if I give him a bottle, then pigs out as though he hasn't been fed at all.
Is it just that he still prefers the formula since he's had it for so long?
Do I just let him eat that instead but keep trying the solids?

Hi Kelli,
There's a wonderful book called Baby Led Weaning which teaches you how to wean your baby from the breast (or bottle) to solid foods without offering baby food.
The motto of Baby Led Weaning is "Food is for fun, until they are one." What this means is that babies will get the majority of their calories from breast milk or formula until they are one year old, and after that they start to gain more of their calories from solids and less from milk.
My babies didn't show any interest in solids until they were about 8 months old, and even then, they preferred to mostly drink breast milk. I wasn't concerned at all, and after they turned a year, they seemed to take more interest in solids.
Do a search on the forms for "baby led weaning" and you will find lots of good posts.
All in all, I'd encourage you to enjoy this time with your baby, and just let food be for fun right now. That may mean that there will be days when baby doesn't play with food at all, and days when baby does (if you have time or want to occupy him in the high chair). Baby will learn about different textures and flavors if you offer food at this age - but if you choose not to, then baby will learn about these things later.
I personally find that many parents are so very eager to feed their babies solids, but it can often be in the child and parent's best interest to just be very relaxed about it. It sounds to me that your son really prefers his milk, and so I would just offer the bottle for now, and maybe try solids again in a month or two. I had one child that wasn't interested in solids at all until she was a year, and another child who was interested at 6 months.
Here's a video showing you a 9 month old eating the "baby led weaning" way. You'll notice how much more coordinated she is at 9 months as compared to a 7 month old.
