Go Big Read Faculty Panel for Ruth Ozeki's "A Tale for the Time Being."
The Asian American Studies Program is an interdisciplinary program that focuses on the scholarship and experiences of Americans, Pacific Islanders, and immigrants to the United States from Asian heritage groups. The Program sheds light on Asian American experiences and concerns, both historically and in contemporary society. The Certificate in Asian American Studies provides students with an opportunity to develop a sustained intellectual focus on Asian American racial formation, communities, and culture. The Program also serves as a teaching and resource center not only for Asian Americans but for the University and Madison community as a whole.

Nicolas Prost, Andrea Belicchi and Mathias Beche retired with a mechanical failure after 44 laps having started the race from fifth position.
The last round of the season, the 6 Hours of Bahrain saw an unusually high number of DNFs in the premier class of endurance as both factory teams from Toyota and Audi also lost a car with technical failure.
After the qualifying session, the Swiss team was optimistic about the final race for the Lola Coupé LMP1. Their best time in qualifying for the #12 car was 1.6 seconds quicker compared to their best qualifying time from a year ago, proving that the team have worked hard until the end to improve the pace of the Lola.
REBELLION Racing achieved all of their targets for this season in both the FIA World Endurance Championship and the American Le Mans Series.
REBELLION Racing won the FIA Endurance LMP1 Trophy for Privateer Teams for the second time (after the win in 2012). The Swiss squad won six of the eight rounds in the LMP1 Privateers adding a record total of 8 pole positions and, on top of that, REBELLION Racing achieved two overall podiums at Interlagos and Fuji.
REBELLION Racing won the closing race of the American Le Mans Series in a back-to-back victory at Petit Le Mans and secured a podium at the 12 Hours of Sebring, with a total of four podiums and three pole positions in four races in the USA.
Bart Hayden, REBELLION Racing Team Manager : "For sure, the retirement from the last WEC race of the season is a disappointing way to end what has been a great year for the team. Bahrain was the last race for the Lola and we were wishing for a better ending. But it's done and we will investigate further to know exactly what caused the failure. The parts were sent back to Europe on the Sunday after the race ready to be inspected.
On the other hand we can't really complain, it's been a fantastic season for the team.
We won the FIA Endurance LMP1 Trophy for the second time in two years, we recorded 6 class wins in the WEC, one overall win at Petit Le Mans and three overall podiums, including Sebring.
It's been a long season for us with twelve races in the FIA WEC and the ALMS, 8 countries, 5 races in the USA. For a European based team it was a big challenge for everyone involved.
I want to thank our drivers, they drove sensibly as well as quickly; the engineers and mechanics as they have tuned and prepared the cars to the highest level all year.

It's back! Healthy Carolina Farmers Market returns
Just as students return to campus, the Healthy Carolina Farmers Market returns every Tuesday, from August 31 through September 28. The market is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is located between the iron gates on Greene Street in front of the Russell House.
Patricia Moore-Pastides
Get to the August 31 market early! Patricia Moore-Pastides, Carolina's First Lady and a major advocate for healthy eating and cooking, will be sharing free samples of muscadine grapes from a local farm.
The Farmers Market is a huge hit among students, faculty, staff, and the community -- it draws nearly 1,000 customers each week. The market features fresh and locally produced vegetables and fruits, meats and cheeses, seafood, peanuts, homemade breads and an array of specialty items by local farmers. Products, which are cash and carry, are competitively priced and sold individually and in bulk.
The Healthy Carolina Farmers Market is part of a national collegiate trend to promote nutrition education and sustainable agriculture (buying fresh produce from local farmers) to students, faculty and staff. The university's Healthy Carolina Initiative aims to simplify healthy choices.
To learn more about Healthy Carolina and its farmers market, go to www.sc.edu/healthycarolina or contact Holly Harring at 803-777-0597 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

|Brutal day! Eric picked me up from the airport at 22.30 the night before. Had to give it a go on the day after I flew in, as weather forecast for next 3 days terrible, & Eric had to leave by Sunday.
Rolled into the porcupine-occupied Bells campground & ready to sleep ~3.30. Woke up 5.45. Ugh. Left day-use parking lot @ 6.43. Made good progress on chill approach. Crater Lake & environs beautiful- would be a wonderful place to camp.
Slow progress up the couloir, being we were both wasted from less than 3 hours of sleep. Snow slushy but consolidated. Ambiguous wording in guidebook led us to do an inobvious ascent above the Garbage Chutes on the R, instead of what appeared to be (upon inspection afterwards) the standard way up to the L.
After through the Garbage Chutes, angle amazingly consistent until the couloir terminus. Awesome to look down at the top of the couloir & see 3,000' straight down to the river!
While mostly good through the climb, the weather seemed like it might turn upon our reaching the notch. It hailed/snow lightly for a bit, making the rocks above wet. Despite my reservations about the questionable looking clouds above, as well as the slippery rocks, I decided there was no way I was leaving after all the effort expended at this point without giving it a go.
Despite the decent exposure at the get-go from the notch, holds were big and manageable. Went up steadily. From a technical standpoint, the climbing was not difficult; what was notable was the feeling that every hold might come out, the at-times huge exposure, and the rubble-covered downward sloping ledges. Moving across rock, vs. slushy snow, though, was gratifying, and the distance to the summit from the notch is relatively short. Moved on up, summiting at 15.14. Took a few photos, relished the fog in front of the amazing views, & departed at 15.21.
Getting to the notch, we took care of some odds & ends, & left ~ 16.45. Snow conditions (slushy with little bearing capacity) made me decide to downclimb the couloir facing in, which took some time.
It got dark a little above the Garbage Chutes, so instead of wasting a ton of time trying to find the way down our convoluted route, we just decided to bivy in our safe, relatively flat location.
While it was one of the shortest nights of the year, it was one of the longest nights of my life... Doubt either of us slept more than half an hour. After untold suffering, we finally departed shortly before 5. Route-finding & remaining downclimbing was uneventful. Got back to the parking lot ~9.30. While enjoying some recovery beers at the truck, SAR came by & found us, ensuring we were OK- thanks for looking out, Lark!
Epic trip with a good friend. Timing worked out great- the afternoon we returned it rained non-stop, with mountains hidden behind thick clouds.
Witnessed numerous incidences of rockfall.

Paramore announces cruise ship festival
Listen to Paramore on iHeartRadio
Paramore will be hitting the high seas with fans next year. The band has announced plans to embark on a cruise ship festival dubbed Parahoy! along with special guests Tegan and Sara. Several other as-yet-revealed artists are also expected to be on board when the ship sets sail from Miami on March 7th.
The four-night luxury cruise includes a stop at what Paramore calls their "very own private island in the Bahamas," plus a pair of shows from the band and a Q&A session on the ship's pool deck. More details about the venture are available at Parahoy.com, where fans can also register for the ticket pre-sale.
In the meantime, Paramore is scheduled to spend the fall on the road supporting their new self-titled album. They're scheduled to kick off a world tour in Ireland on September 2nd, eventually making their way to North America starting with a show in Seattle on October 15th.

machine head?
It is impossible to install the standard puller. For particular process, we recommend S-7200C or SL-1110. And also if you would like to install the presser foot lifting, please use the under-table type.
What is the difference of lubrication with DDL-8700?
The JUKI's DDL-8700 is the pumping forced lubrication type. It's not the clean sewing because it supplies and recoveries much oil by pressurization.
Is the lubrication system the same as the S-7200C's minimum
lubrication system?
It's not the same. S-6200A's minimum lubrication system is the same as SL-2110's. While S-7200C uses oil tank, S-6200A uses oil pan.
Are the panels the same as S-7200C's panel?
The panel itself is the same but, mounting plates are different. They are not interchangeable. Also their names are also changed to G1A and G5A for S-6200A.
Is the thread wiper interchangeable with that of SL-2110?
The length of harnesses is different so parts codes are not the same.
Does S-6200A have the functions of condensed stitching and floating foot sewing which with S-7200C?
Unfortunately, S-6200A doesn't have those functions. When sewing heavy materials, use the vibration function of S-6200A(Brother's patent).
Is there the 380V?
You can equip the same transformer box as S-7200C's.

Experiment, experiment, experiment. I've never even heard of using vinegar, so I can't really answer that for you.
Experiment, experiment, experiment. I've never even heard of using vinegar, so I can't really answer that for you.
ive heard of vanilla extract in inks i dont how gud it is, i never tried before
vanilla extract is 35% alcohol
its hectic growin up in the gutta, when they say they got no work, they make you hustle for that bread butter -mr.cheeks *Lost Boyz*
Yo Herbn what up with the MAtches???
MDC Familia
Gaining Knowledge
get steel wool and let it soak in just enough Vineger to cover it. let it soak for like a month and it will turn to a brown liquid, strain it and add it to your ink and it will stain harder. this should not be the primary liquid in your ink though just use like 1/5 parts to your usual alc. mixture.
Xylene is whats in decocolors thats why they last in the sun and weather so well, it can be used in place of or with alcohol. I dont know where to but it on its own though.
the matches are just what i use to mix test colors on that little palette, thats all guys lol. no real importants. and that little cup is magnesium sulfate aka epson salt. im experimenting with its usefulness at the moment as a thickener and will let you guys know if it does anything or not.
The small bottles are something i found at Micheals craft store, there resin dyes and the instructions say to use a drop per resin mold so there very high concentrate and come in a 3 pack of red blue and yellow. retail is 10.49 but theyre 5 fingerable. i suggest them as a color additive but im still experimenting with them to. Details to come.

Thanks Herbn
you said steel wool huh? I got that stuff layyin around somewhere. But damn a month that a long ass time.

He said A month?
yo i've been thinking about this for a while.
what if you filled a marker with gas, tagged your shit and just light it on fire?
Won't it create a chemical change and will never be removed?
haha yes not like 2 years, i actually tried BBs like a hand full and just enough vineger to cover them. And it gets gets the same result but in a day or 2, i havent used it as an additive yet though so i dont know the chemical differences it will yeild seeing as one is steel and one is copper. its a thick brown sludge though! gotta be usefull for something. Updates to come!
SORRY GUYS I HAD TO EDIT THE ABOVE POST ITS STEEL WOOL AND VINEGER* ***NOT ALCOHOL*** I miss typed it
Last edited by HëRbN; 07-02-2008 at 09:04 PM.
And ive thought about using Vanilla Extract, but never have. So i cant help you there, Why dont you try it out and see if you notice any difference just make small batches of the standard pen recipe and cut some vanilla into one. and test em side by side, that would be the best way to find out.
Last edited by HëRbN; 07-02-2008 at 09:06 PM.
if ur lookign into really good hydrocarbon based inks, go out and find soem bitumen in stores, or just go pick off a pice of tar from the road. Then heat it up until its goey and mix in naptha(lighter fluid) until it is like paint consistency. If you took it off teh ground ur gunna want to filter it wih a coffee filter to get teh rocks out. Then you can add thsi to alcohol or ethanol based inks by usign mustard powder, or you can add in ur own shit and use it straight.
I'll do it tomarrow and tell you how it went. Im gettin like 80 of pens and allot of shit so I'll pick upsome Vanilla toamrrow.,

Dope thread! Nice one herbn
no, its a liquid, and thats what backpacks are for.
no gas is petrolium, a hydrocarbon. this is ethanol, the stuff used in alcoholic drinks. but since tehres a tax on alcoholic beverages, they ptu some methanol in the ethanol to make it toxic, so then you dont have to pay the extra tax. it is almost pure ethanol, which is pretty cheap, i think its liek 15$ MAX
funny, its free everywhere i go.
Plus, this should be in the full ink thread right now- it's a bit advanced
isopropyl is alot easier to get and is more or less the same


text: Has anyone ever seen a wordlist that has the words' syllables denoted any way? I'm working on a script that will take a word list and transform it based on the options you give it, such as substituting @ for a, 1 for l, etc. One of the variations I want to be able to do is to capitalize the first letter of a new syllable. This is based on the assumption that if the user is using a modified dictionary word as a password, he or she is more likely to capitalize letters that start new syllables than just random letters within the word.

Pineiro, Claudia
If you are looking for a page-turning literary novel that you can read in one day, All Yours, a slim crime novel about a woman's revenge on her cheating husband, is the book for you. The author, a native Argentinean, tells a gripping tale of domestic conflict and, at the same time, sheds light on Argentina's class structure and the selfish behaviors of the entitled class. This author's crime novels are all bestsellers in Latin America...and for good reason! All Yours is a great read.

Theatre Arts
The mission of our Theatre Arts program is to:
Involve students in the creation of theatrical productions that promote individual responsibility, cooperative effort and artistic excellence while extending the limits of students' creative and intellectual experiences.
Relate theatrical training to the student's whole life experience by providing a supportive, challenging and personalized educational environment that prepares students for professional careers and graduate study.
Integrate the Christian faith with our creative process by enjoying the exercise of our gifts and by exploring the human experience with integrity, and a sense of God's grace.
Enrich the cultural and aesthetic experience of our campus and community by producing theatre that exhibits both artistic integrity and sensitivity to community values while reflecting diverse worldviews and encouraging thoughtful response.
Why Should I Study Theatre Arts?
- Like the University, the Department of Theatre Arts takes a liberal arts approach to education. We do more than simply train you to do certain tasks. We make sure that you gain a broad base of knowledge and experience in all areas of theatre.
- The skills learned as a Theatre major serve students well whatever they choose to do – even if it seems to have nothing to do with theatre. In addition to practical theatre skills like acting and scenic construction, students learn how to: present ideas confidently and convincingly; work cooperatively with large and small groups of different types of people; approach and solve problems creatively; meet deadlines; serve their community; and many other "life skills" that employers look for. Far from simply knowing how do one thing, our graduates are able to function as thoughtful, valuable members of their community and their profession – whatever that might be.
- The size of our department provides ample production experience as well as regular, direct interaction with the faculty – both in the classroom and in rehearsal.

The first question:
Osho,You said that either one sees the world or the brahman and that no gradually increasing perception of the brahman is possible. But in experience we feel that as we become aware and more silent and still, the feeling of the divine presence becomes gradually clearer and clearer. What is this gradual growth and clarity if the authentic experience is never gradual, but sudden?
This has been a very ancient problem: "Is enlightenment sudden or gradual?" Many things have to be understood. There has been a tradition which says that enlightenment is gradual and that everything can be divided into degrees, everything can be divided into steps - that like anything else, knowledge can also be divided; you can become more and more wise, you can become more and more enlightened. This has been widely accepted because the human mind cannot conceive of anything sudden. Mind wants to divide, analyze. Mind is a divider. Degrees can be understood by the mind, but suddenness is non-mental - beyond mind.
If I say to you that you are ignorant and that gradually you will become wise, this is comprehensible, you can comprehend it. If I say to you, "No, there is no gradual growth. Either you are ignorant or you become enlightened, there is a sudden jump," then the question arises of how to become enlightened. If there were no gradualness, there could be no progress. If there were no degree of growth, no degrees, then you could not make progress, you could not proceed. From where to begin? In a sudden explosion, the beginning and the end are both the same. There is no gap between the beginning and the end, so from where to begin? The beginning is the end.
It becomes a puzzle for the mind, it becomes a koan. But sudden enlightenment seems to be impossible. It is not that it is impossible, but that the mind cannot conceive of it. And, remember, how can the mind conceive of enlightenment? It cannot. It has been widely accepted that this inner explosion is also gradual growth. Even many enlightened persons have conceded that to your minds, and they have said, "Yes, there is a gradual growth."
It is not that there is. They have said it and accepted your attitude, your way of perception. They have been in a deep compassion for you. They know that if you start thinking that it is gradual, the start will be good, but there will be no gradual growth. But if you start, if you go on seeking it, someday the sudden thing will happen to you. And if it is said that enlightenment is only sudden and no gradual growth is possible, you are not even going to start and it will never happen. Many enlightened persons have said that enlightenment is a gradual thing just to help you, just to persuade you to start.

what is a cheap good DSLR. any suggestions?

what is a cheap good DSLR. any suggestions?
Nikon or Canon both have competitive models that start at around $700. Both have a great selection of lens to work with their low end DSLR's. I happen to prefer Nikon because I already have a number of good Nikon/Nikkor lenses. If you don't have any lens yet, either company will be a fine choice.
I went to a pretty good photo school in California for like 6 months and was told that for shooting action that Canon makes a better chip. The reason for this is that the way the chip is link with the image processors it allows for higher ISO without as much noise so when shooting in lower light it is easier to use a faster shutter speed but avoid the grain the i know i get on my nikon. However the lens argument is pretty good to, you can ultimately take great surf pics with the nikon or the canon so if you have lenses for either i recommend purchasing according to lenses.
Get a slr with at least 5fps, a fisheye, and a underwater housing. Because shooting from the beach is boring.
Ditto on the recommendations you've had so far, especially on the lens purchases. Once you buy into a system, you sort of have to stay with it or lay out a much larger bundle of money all over again. Name brand lenses like Nikon and Canon are not interchangable, although you can get aftermarket lenses that will fit, their optics and engineering are not generally as high quality as the Nikons and Canons.
a used canon 20d will only run you about $300 for the body, and its still a great camera, its just been replaced 3 times so they go for cheap.
a canon 50mm f/1.8 brand new is $80
then a canon 70-200 f/4L goes for about $500 used i think, which isn't a bad lens to start out with for surf.
or for about the same price you could get the 200mm f/2.8 fixed lens
thanks everyone anything else lemme kno
Get Nikon. Their sensors have progressed so much within the recent years that it almost puts Canon to shame. Their high end camera (D3) shoots at 9fps full frame 12.3 mp, and 12fps at a cropped 6.3 mp.
Don't be sold just by megapixels, a better sensor, faster camera and faster lens (aperture) will always produce a better image. If you look used, you can find a Nikon D2Hs, which shoots 8fps(raw) with a 40 capture buffer, for between $500 and $2500 on ebay. But it has a whopping 4.1 megapixels... but is still used professionally for sports photography. Just make sure you know what you're buying. That Nikon is one of their old professional cameras.
For starter cameras, the Canon XSi and Nikon D60 are both excellent choices. Both shoot ~3fps and can be found online with a 18-55mm starter lens for around $600. If you're willing to spend another $300 it would be well worth it, considering both the XSi and D60 do not have autofocus mechanisms on the body of the camera (which is why they are so cheap). By getting the D50/D70/D80/D90 (for Nikon) it will have the autofocus, which will allow you to buy cheaper lenses in the long run. For Canon you can get the 20D, 30D, 40D or the new 50D(which is expensive) or some of the other ones used for a decent price.
I recommend sticking with either Canon or Nikkor lenses. You may be able to get Sigma or Tamron for a good price, but the quality of the glass isn't as good. For any surfing on the east coast, you should be fine with a 300mm max. More if you like to shoot from a large distance, but even standing halfway up the beach, my 70-300mm Nikkor does the trick. You can pick up a 200-300mm either brand with about f/4.0-f/5.6 for around $250 for the 200 or $550 for the 300. If you want to do any indoor sports shooting (flashes don't do much from a distance) you're going to need a lens with a wider aperture (the f number) wider = smaller. So a good lens for an indoor sports would be like the Nikkor 70-200mmVR f/2.8 zoom. But that will cost about $1700. Wide apertures cost a lot of money because it has more pieces of glass, but can create a real nice shot, with some bokeh in the background. Bokeh is that blurriness behind the subject. The wider the aperture the more bokeh that will be produced. So like the prime (single lens length, something like 50mm) Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 is incredibly sharp, and at f/1.8 can produce a very exquisite bokeh, or possibly sickening depending on the background. But at f/11 will have an almost clear background.
Either way you go, make sure oyu're willing to spend money. Photography is an expensive hobby, but you don't need the best equipment to get good pictures. Just need to have a good sense of creativity.
Edit: One other thing, since I explained all of that, and not really the two that you should buy... Either get the D60 or Rebel XSi since they are both cheap, depending which brand you choose to go down. The way I chose was by going to the store, and playing with the lenses. Since you'll have that brand forever, choose based on the lens since you'll always have them, but can upgrade the camera body.
Do NOT by Samsung, Olympus, or any of the other brands. They may be cheaper, but their sensors just can't compare with that of Nikon and Canon
thanks alot tbing
While you need to realize you are buying into a system, make sure that you also check compatibility within a system. Back when I bought my first digital camera, a Nikon D70, I presumed that I could easily continue to use my AI Nikkor lenses. Not necessarily so. Using an old 28mm lens with the new digital camera just didn't do what I expected it to do. It played havoc with the exposure because most newer digital cameras require connectors within the lens to effectively communicate with the camera. There's much more involved these days, so ensure any lenses (especially through E-Bay) are completely compatible with whatever camera you buy. Given more time, the likelihood of incompatibility will lessen, but right now any ''deals'' you see may not really be a ''deal'' in fact if the lens of the same brand name is not compatible.

Boundary value problems
Is there a Mathematica package/routine to solve O.D.E's, numerically,
in a boundary value problem?
(i.e. conditions of the form :
y[x1] == a1

where x1 != x2)
I've tried NDSolve but get an error message :
NDSolve::ndinn: Initial condition y[-1000.] is not a number.

Breastfeeding - what do you like to wear?
Well, firstly you can wear anything you want. In Australia, women and their babies/toddlers are protected by law; breastfeeding is a right. You do not have to breastfeed in a certain way. You do not have to cover up. Indeed, some babies don't like to breastfeed when they are covered up.
In other words, anything goes when it comes to breastfeeding and the clothes you choose to wear.
So what do you choose to wear when breastfeeding? Is your wardrobe any different to your pre-breastfeeding wardrobe? Do you find some clothes easier to feed in than others? Do you own any clothes specially designed for breastfeeding in?
I often breastfeed wearing a vest top under a normal top. I pull one of the tops up and the other down and breastfeed my baby comfortably and quickly between the tops. If he needs to be fed really quickly then I just pull both tops down and feed him like that.
I look forward to hearing what clothes you like to wear when you are breastfeeding.

Mostly, whatever I have that's clean, cos breastfeeding tops are expensive :P So just plain old tshirts most of the time!
In winter I do double layers like you say, just so I don't get a cold back, just with a stretchy singlet that I can pull down under another top that I lift up.

I got Acer Aspireone(110) laptop and i want to install bt3(my orginal plans was to install XP on it but the XP runs too slow) into it in near future(actually i've not got the installing tutorial work) but i'm too new with linux operating systems to do that.
I'm having a problem that i can't solve by myself so i'm asking help at here.
The problem i'm having now is that i cannot get the laptop's wlan work. In the acer aspire one there's a small button which allows you put the wlan on & off and it's not working. And i've tried to find the solution by myself but everytime I try to install the drivers they don't work. And probably i should be restarting the laptop and load the OS again to make the drivers work but the problem is that the drivers aren't saved to anywhere so when i boot the laptop every change i made disappears and the OS is at same condition as it was before.
SO - What should do? Should i install the BT3 to the laptop first so that it boots off from the laptop's flash memory or should i somehow put the drivers into the flash stick and then install the BT3 to the laptop(I think i'm also missing soundcard drivers)? Someone help me. THis is really confusing for me.
Doesnt help you really, but as Tron mentions consider the USB Solution.
I have the Aspire One and use the USB v of BT3 and it works fine.
I have been having some issues installing Nessus with persistant changes, but thats something else.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- In its 20th NCAA Tournament appearance, Nazareth won its first tournament game since 2007 in resounding fashion Wednesday. The Golden Flyers used 11 different goal scorers against visiting Castleton State to score a 25-4 victory in a first-round NCAA Division II men's lacrosse game at Golden Flyer Stadium.
Nazareth won for the ninth straight time to improve to 15-4 overall, while North Atlantic Conference champion Castleton had a 10-game winning streak snapped and had their season end with a 15-4 record. Nazareth, ranked ninth nationally, will host Western New England (12-6) Saturday in a second-round match-up at a time to be determined. Western New England defeated Eastern Connecticut State, 16-10, in another first-round game.
Against the Spartans Wednesday, the Golden Flyers piled up some impressive numbers, led by recently named Empire 8 Player of the Year Drew Simoneau, who enabled Nazareth to control possession time by winning 17 of 21 faceoffs and scooping up 15 ground balls. Midfielder Collin Clark had five goals and attackman Troy Haefele added four goals and four assists. Attackman Luke Wooters, recently selected Empire 8 Rookie of the Year, contributed three goals and five assists.
Nazareth also had lopsided advantages in shots (61-26) and ground balls (55-42) and converted four extra-man goals.
Clark scored Nazareth's first three goals, but the Spartans got a pair of goals from Spencer Hunt in the first period to stay close at 5-2 through 15 minutes. Nazareth then overwhelmed the Spartans over the next three quarters, outscoring them 7-1 in both the second and third periods and 6-0 in the fourth.
Nazareth also got three goals each from midfielders Chris Aycock and Kyle Fanning and two goals from midfielder Matt McDermott. Midfielder Jeff Sabitus also scored his first career goal in the third quarter. Trevar Haefele, Charlie Mayne, Matt O'Neill and Danny Conlin also scored.
Saturday's game against Western New England is a rematch of an earlier meeting this season in which Nazareth was held to a season-low six goals in a 12-6 defeat at home on March 17.

History of X-Ray Astronomy
ASCA (Advanced Satellite for Cosmology and Astrophysics) was a joint mission by Japan and the United States. The ASCA X-ray observatory, launched in 1993, was especially designed to study the detailed distribution of X-rays with energy, which provide important information about the elements that make up the hot X-ray emitting gas. ASCA ceased operations in July of 2000.
The Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) is a NASA mission which was launched in December 1995. Although RXTE does not have focusing X-ray mirrors, it has the unique capability to study rapid time variability in the emission of cosmic X-ray sources over a wide band of X-ray energies, and is expected to make valuable contributions to our understanding of neutron stars and black holes.
BeppoSAX was a program of the Italian Space Agency with participation of the Netherlands Agency for Aerospace Programs. It was launched on April 30, 1996 from Cape Canaveral, and was the first X-ray mission with a scientific payload covering more than three decades of energy - from 0.1 to 300 keV, with moderate imaging capability. BeppoSAX proved to be useful for X-ray imaging sources associated with Gamma-ray bursts, determining their positions with unprecedented precision, and monitoring the X-ray afterglow. All in-orbit operations of the BeppoSAX mission ended in April, 2002. In April 2003, the spacecraft re-entered Earth's atmosphere and splashed down in the Pacific Ocean.
XMM (The High-Throughput X-ray Spectroscopy Mission) is a large X-ray astrophysics observatory developed by the European Space Agency. It was launched on December 10, 1999. This facility class observatory, with an anticipated lifetime of ten years, will enable astronomers to conduct sensitive X-ray spectroscopic obsverations of a wide variety of cosmic sources, and should be a powerful complement to Chandra.

Lawmakers offer bills legalizing needle exchanges
Published: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 at 9:18 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 at 9:18 a.m.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida lawmakers have introduced legislation that would legalize syringe and needle exchanges in the state.
The House bill (HB 735) will be considered by the Health Quality subcommittee on Wednesday. A companion bill (SB 808) is in the Senate.
The bills would allow the creation of programs in which drug users can exchange used IV needles and syringes for clean ones.
The idea is that such exchanges help prevent the spread of HIV and other illnesses. They are currently illegal under Florida law. Opponents say they encourage drug use.
The exchanges would be run by the state's Department of Health. The bills also would require the department to distribute educational materials and offer HIV counseling and testing.

Sworn complaint alleges student filed false report of robbery
Published: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 3:08 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 3:08 p.m.
A University of Florida student has been charged in a sworn complaint with filing a false report of a crime when he reported on Dec. 9 that he had been robbed at a campus convenience store where he worked, Maj. Brad Barber reported.
Steven P. Klepac, 20, was charged with filing a false police report, misuse of the 911 system and theft.
A sworn complaint was also filed that charges Lani A. Caraballo, 21, with filing a false police report and theft as an accomplice. She disguised herself to appear to be the robber, Barber said.
Barber said Caraballo is Klepac's girlfriend and is not affiliated with UF.
Klepac told authorities he was robbed at the Graham Oasis convenience store in Graham Hall at about 4:08 a.m., prompting UF to issue an emergency notification alert.
Detectives found inconsistencies in Klepac's account of what actually took place and the circumstances involved, Barber said, adding Klepac eventually confessed that the robbery was faked to cover up stealing money from the store.
Klepic also told police that Caraballo was in disguise to prevent her from being recorded by the surveillance cameras located throughout the facility and potentially recognized, Barber said.

I'm running XBMC v11 Eden on Windows 7 and I noticed that when using the GUI to add a source, the UserName and Password fields are not present in the new-source setup screen. Thus, upon adding a new, msft-SMB source, located on a remote share which requires authentication, the connection failed.
So, I launched my XML editor, opened up sources.xml, and added the connection info as per the usual format, as I've been doing for years with XBMC.
However, upon starting up XBMC and navigating to the desired source, the remote connection fails. I'm getting 'Could not connect to remote share' from the GUI. And, on the remote share server, I see that the wrong UserName was used to initiate the connection to the remote share.
I determined that the setting I added to sources.xml for (e.g. smb://username:password@server/) were not affecting the connection XBMC was making to the remote share by enabling advanced auditing of file shares. Thus in the Security Event Log I see that, instead of asserting the username:password credentials I provided in the sources.xml file, the SMB connection (to the remote share) is attempting to leverage my currently logged on UserName on the Win7 machine XBMC is running on. And since the particular share I'm trying to configure is only enabled for service-accounts, the connection is failing.
Unfortunately this screws up my media-sharing scheme, in which I have created/exposed media-specific remote shares throughout my network and granted share-level access to a generic service-account known as 'Media' which exists for the purpose of accessing my NAS and server-attached remote storage. Then, at the file-system ACL level, I'm able to shape what content is visible to this basic service-account.
I've had this scheme set up for years now because it allows me to tailor what specific content and file-shares are visible to anyone sitting in front of our HTPC/Televisions without requiring the person running the media player to log-in or authenticate to anything. Remote authentication information is a property of the specific remote-connection's config. In past experience this all worked very well and I'm able to backup my sources.xml settings and even transfer them between XBMC platforms. (where XBMC for the xbox was the original source)
Unfortunately there are examples of the type of notation used for SMB authentication interspersed within many pages of the Wiki. Example]
So, can someone please verify whether the previous functionality/support for the configuration of a (SMB) network resource's authentication credentials was removed or is unsupported in the Windows build of XBMC?
If so, I'm going to need to come up with a Plan B.
SMB Authentication string in sources.xml == unsupported?

It should work fine - make sure you urlencode both username and password.
Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.

Good morning!
I tried your method.
Now, I am able to boot from my USB Stick.
But I have 4 more Questions, maybe you can help me?!
now open the syslinux folder and open syslinux.cfg in wordpad as notepad does not display it correctly
-- after changing the text in syslinux.cfg i only can save it, as a text document. The symbol changed to the symbol of wordpad, cause i opened it with this programm.
But if i go on this symbol there is written that`s still a *.cfg -file. So it seems to be ok? OR
Could this be a problem?
I have problems with the last step.
I write: mkswap /dev//sda2
The system response: Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 1044602 kB
no label, UUID ,,,,, etc
( That seems to be ok)
But then i type:
swapon: dev/sda2/
and now the System responses:
swapon: dev/sda2: Device or resource busy ...
WHATS wrong in this case ;-((
Could this be a problem?
I tested netmonitor modus/ airodump and aireplay injection and it was all ok.
When i install new programms like aicrack new version, maybe wesside-ng, airraid etc..
one time i install it,is it installed even when i start next time booting? Or have i type "make" "make install" again and again?
I did it like you said i formatted the last partition (4) to Fat32 maybe to store some stuff on it when i am using windows.
But with windows i only have access to the first fat 32 partition.
I can see this partition with paragon but i dont know the option i have to do.
It seems so that i can give this partition a new "in germany we say Laufwerksbuchstaben" like E: or J: but maybe this can make trouble with backtrack??
ps: while installing the partitions with qtparted i choose always the first point (i dont know what it was called; the other point was something like "extended partition" . I hope this is ok?!
remove the // in your mkswap command and put / only
the rest of your questions are widely covered here....search...
Watch your back, your packetz will belong to me soon... xD
BackTrack : Giving Machine Guns to Monkeys since 2006
The // in my mkswap command was only a failure written in this text.
In Bt2 i tried it only with /
I dont have problems with the mkswap command.
If i type after that swapon /dev/sda2
It appears swapon: /dev/sda2: Device or resource busy...
Thats my problem ;-(
As you have been able to boot from it I would say that none of that was a problem.
1. change you display properties to not hide extensions for known extensions, and you will be able to see what the extension is.
2. backtrack should pick up that there is a swap partition and use it automatically, that step is only a precaution. You can test this by running leetmode which will show you how much swapspace you have, if you don't want leetmode running you can run exit leetmode to close it.
3. that is the point of this type of install, it saves your changes so you don't have to do that every time.
4. That is because you have installed to a USB stick, and the problems windows has with more than one partition on a USB stick. And changing the drive letter in windows shouldn't make any difference to backtrack. This was one reason that I said that most of this applies to a USB HDD install.
Hope that helps
Yes, thats helps a lot!
A very good way to install BT2 on an USB-Stick


text: According to The NY Post, Lindsay Lohan tried to use her credit cards this weekend. Not one card, but two. Both of them were rejected even though she was trying to purchase $300 worth of jeans. At one point she tried to negotiate a deal with the employees of the store but they weren't having any of it so a friend who was with Lindsay paid for the items. Honestly, I love stories like this and each day I hope that Lindsay really has run through every penny of the $2M that she got from Oprah and can't afford $300 jeans. Is that bad that I want her to actually have to work a real job? She is still fairly young. Is she really going to be "Lindsay" for the next fifty years? What exactly is she going to do with the rest of her life? Is she going to bounce around from one guest spot to the next and do some reality mixed in there? Is she going to end up in jail? Dead? If she dies in the next few years of a drug overdose or whatever, people are going to talk about her so fondly a decade or two down the road and totally forget all of the bad points and there are way more bad points than good.

Wingate, N.C. - Joy Oswalt led the way with six kills and Jamie Atkinson continued her all-around play on the court with five kills, five digs and four blocks, but it was not enough as the Tornados fell to the 16th-ranked Wingate Bulldogs on Thursday evening in Cuddy Arena, 25-7, 25-23, 25-21.
The Bulldogs (10-0, 5-0 SAC) jumped on the Tornados (3-7, 0-4 SAC) in the opening set, building a 12-3 lead on the back of four aces by Maggie Malone. Wingate would close out the first set quickly with the final seven points, handing the Tornados the 25-7 defeat to go up 1-0.
The second set was tightly contested as an Oswalt kill along with a pair of Wingate errors, put the Tornados on top 16-12. A pair of kills by Susie Murach helped trim the deficit to two at 19-17 and back-to-back Cory McGowan kills put the Bulldogs on top 20-19, while a Brevard error pushed the lead to two. The Tornados tied the set at 22, getting a pair of blocks from Atkinson, but the Bulldogs were able to close out the set as Liz Willis and McGowan answered with kills, while McGowan would cap the frame with a kill.
A kill from Atkinson tied the third set at 14, but Wingate answered with seven consecutive points to blow the final frame open. Lexi Potter started the flurry with a kill, while Kelsey Handel added two kills and a block in the spurt. Brevard cut the deficit to three on an ace from sophomore outside hitter Erin Cox. An ace from Lindsey Rogers made the score 23-21, but an error from the Tornados pushed the Wingate advantage to three at 24-21 and Malone capped the match with her fifth ace.
Bethany Stevenson had 16 assists and eight digs for the Tornados in the match while Rogers had a match high 14 digs for Brevard.
The Tornados are back on the road in South Atlantic Conference action as they travel to Salisbury, N.C. on Saturday, September 24th, as they take on Catawba College. First serve between the Tornados and the Indians is set for 2 p.m.

Comments about multivitamin hand and nail treatment:
This cream has made a big difference in my hands. They are no longer dry and itchy but soft and supple. I have noticed a strength difference in my nails but they do seem to be rowing faster. Love it!!
Comments about multivitamin hand and nail treatment:
Love the product but the lemony smell needs to go..fragrance free or a different scent..product has helped my contact dermatitis
Comments about multivitamin hand and nail treatment:
This hand cream is wonderful for people with clammy or sweaty hands! It's rich and nourishing, but it's very thin and soaks into your skin within a minute. I always have trouble finding hand cream that nourishes without being too thick and then just sits on my skin. Who wants to walk around touching things and leaving a bit of lotion behind? As for nails, I haven't been using this long enough to say whether it's effective at nourishing my nails, but it does have glycerin in it. I find a lot of companies in the US don't have glycerin in their hand creams. In Europe it seems far more common, but when it comes to my history with glycerin - within two months of regular use my nails are gloriously strong. Kudos Dermalogica for putting this in your hand cream!
Comments about multivitamin hand and nail treatment:
It's nice and all, but I'm afraid too much money for what it is. It's also more greasy than you think. A residue is left over after putting it on. I pair my hand lotions with hand sanitizer, and it doesn't compliment each other very well.
Comments about multivitamin hand and nail treatment:
I finally bought this after trying it after a skin treatment at dermalogica. It does not fell greasy or oily like most moisturizers do. My nails are shiny and not rigid anymore… My skin hasn't been this soft in years. Highly recommended!

This is an excellent hand cream. It is a rich cream but it is not sticky. it is very pleasant on the skin. I recommend it highly.
Comments about multivitamin hand and nail treatment:
This product is very moisturizing and has improved the look and feel of my callused hands. Although it claims to be a non greasy formula, I find that it is very greasy. Also I don't think the smell very pleasant.

This is disgraceful behaviour from Enwistle.
I sincerely hope BAMMA pay Long, he honoured every commitment to them and if they want to be a major player in European MMA then they need to act as a major player would.
Regardless of the ACL mishap or whatever happened, not making weight as a professional fighter is inexcusable. It's part of the game.
An update just in via @YourMMA:
Also Long was in hospital the night before with pleurisy too apparently. He didn't withdraw though.@ian_enty: @YourMMA @bammauk @lew_long I have a scan on Friday until then am not sure of the damage we are waiting until then to release a statement.

Liam Bad Intentions James, pro mma uk featherweight!!
Has Enty come out and said anything yet? How on earth did he do his ACL in an hour before the fight?

Recommended by ophthalmologists, these are the goggles that soothe dry, puffy eyes. The included gel packs are warmed in a microwave and placed inside the goggles to stimulate tear production and the release of beneficial oils from the eyes' meibomian glands, increasing humidity and moisture to relieve dry eyes. The goggles are ideal for those who suffer from nocturnal lagophthalmos because they form an impervious, 360� seal to prevent air, pollen, and dust from drying out eyes during sleep. The goggles' eye cups are lined with soft foam and the adjustable strap ensures a comfortable, proper fit. Each treatment lasts 10 to 15 minutes. Also includes foam inserts that can be soaked in warm or cool water and used during sleep. Gel packs can be heated up to 50 times and the foam inserts enable 60 uses (additional gel packs and foam inserts available below). 7 1/4" W x 2 3/4" H. (8 oz.)

Dry Eye relief after 30 yrs of suffering
By Love my sister
from Southport, NC
My sister has suffered with absoluetly no tears for 30 yrs and nothing has helped her until this product. drops and gels would only burn and irritate her eyes more. After just the first use she could hardly believe it herself but it gave her relief, no eye scratching and her natural oil has coated her eyes, soothing them. She is 73 and found the product extremely comfortable and very easy to use. Thank you so much for this product, I am getting ready to order her additional gel packs so she will never be without them. She finally has hope for far less pain in her life.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

10 years of dry eyes solved
By artistinresidence
from Aiken, SC
I use the wet inserts every night when I go to bed and the moisture lasts all day into the evening, so I am comfortable. All the ointments and drops for dry eyes did not work, but these goggles do work for me. They are great to ease the pain of dry eyes---only negative was the headband, which stretched out of shape, but you replaced the goggles, so that is not a problem. I have recommended these to dozens of people.
2nd pair & still love them!
By Suzy, lights out sleeper
from Almost heaven Hope, Arkansas
I first bought these from a Canyon Ranch Spa in florida.Used them for about 4yrs until the foam came unglued. Instead of glueing them back I ordered this new pair. These keep out all light and are very light weight. They don't mess up my hair. I wear them every night even when traveling. I know they are expensive but they do hold up to alot. Try them! I don't think you will be disappointed.

Dry Eye Relief Kit

Air blowing into my eyes from my CPAP made me miserable. It also gives me dry eyes which concerns my doctor. This product keeps me comfortable with the CPAP for hrs longer than usual and protects my eyes. It contributes to bettering my health for which I am grateful.

These really work!
By nanster
from northern california
I have had very dry eyes since I had my Lasik surgery over 10 years ago with my dry eyes getting progressively worse over the last 2 years. I have tried the petroleum eye cream, artificial tears and even Restasis with varying and dissapointing results. The moist, warm treatment these eye shields provide have given me close to 100% relief from my painful dry eye symptoms. The fact that they encircle the eyes with foam and create a seal that keeps the warmth and moisture directly to my eyes is very benefisical. I take the warming beads out once they cool, replace them with the foam inserts and I sleep with the goggles all night which block the light. I am a light sleeper and light sensitive so I don't see me going a night without these!

Dry eye relief lasts all day.
By dragon artist
The Dry Eye Goggles have given me comfort with the problem that has plagued me for l5 years, due to all the medication. I put them on every night after rinsing the inserts in warm water. The goggles lull you to sleep, so sleep comes easier. Also, you cannot see any light, which is great when the sun comes up, or my husband turns on the light. The only negative is the headband, which will not adjust on one side.

Just OK
By John
from Wash DC
Somewhat helpful though gel does not last for the 10-15 minutes suggested, more like 6 minutes so I have to reheat half way through. Gel packs don't fit snug with covering. Could be great product with minor improvements.Since gel must be heated twice per use you use them up twice as fast causing additional spending on replacement gel packs.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your feedback - the treatment should last 10-20 if you prepare it as suggested int he manual. For hot: 45 sec in microwave on high lasts 10-12 min. For cold: 15-30 minutes in the freezer depending on if you want mild or moderate cold treatment lasts 15-20 min.

Worthwhile device
By rds
from New Haven, CT
The only downside should not prevent buying this device. The warming gels cool off in around five minutes, so repeated warming (in hot water) is called for if one wants to apply the warmth for a therapeutically practical amount of time.

transcript:
Hi, I’m Patty Kim.
We’re heading now to North Africa, a land of vast deserts, ancient cities, and bustling markets. Here, the cultures of Africa, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean all come together.
This is the place where you can find the best of many worlds. That’s if, of course, know where to look!
North Africa, the land stretching from the southern tip of Sudan, up along the Red Sea, and across the Southern Mediterranean coast to Morocco and Western Sahara, on the Pacific.
It can sometimes be a tumultuous place so before heading off check the state department’s website for any travel warnings and advisories.
Now, that’s not to scare you away, some of the most-visited, and most amazing tourist destinations in the world are found right here.
In a class all its own, is Egypt.
For nearly 4000 years, the Pyramids at Giza were the largest buildings on Earth – and they remain an inspiration to as many as 5 thousand visitors every day.
Further south, along the Nile river, sprawling ruins serve as reminders of the grandeur of the Pharaohs.
And some of the sights at the top of your “must-see” list:
Luxor – the capital of ancient Egypt, and home of the sprawling Karnak Temple complex on the Nile’s eastern shore: one of the largest examples of religious architecture in the world.
And, to the west of the river: the Valley of the Kings… where Egypt’s Pharoahs we’re laid to rest for nearly five hundred years.
Many of their tombs are now open the public.
Each offers a spectacular glimpse into the ritual lives of one of humanity’s first great civilizations.
Further south, nearing Egypt’s border with Sudan, are the massive ruins at Abu Simbel.
Built during the reign of the the Pharoah Ramses II, it is thought the massive structures – carved straight into the mountainside - were built here, at least in part, to impress, and to intimidate, ancient Egypt’s southern neighbors, the Nubians.
When you’re ready for more modern sights and sounds, consider a trip to the town centers, markets, and bazaars of North Africa’s magical cities.
Tunis, in Tunisia… And Fes, and Marrakesh… in Morocco.
Here you can bargain in the souks and stalls for trinkets, handicrafts and carpets.
Haggling is part business transaction, part national sport.
Win or lose, you gain a souvenir and a valuable cultural experience.
In Marrakesh, don't miss a cultural highlight: the plaza of Djemaa el Fna.
It’s been showtime here everyday since the 11th century with the city square filled with snake charmers, acrobats and storytellers.
Its carnival atmosphere beckons old and young, local and tourists alike.
When you need a rest, head for the shore.
Coastal areas like Morocco’s Essaouira and Tunisia’s Djerba Island are prime beach spots.
Their relaxed pace and ocean views will get you recharged and ready to go.
All of North Africa shares one common, outstanding feature – the Sahara.
The desert stretches over 3000 miles from coast to coast.
It is one of the hottest, driest, windiest places on Earth.
Despite its desolation, Berber tribes have lived here for thousands of years, plying the ancient trade routes with caravans and camels.
Here, you’ll find that many towns along the edge of the Sahara offer tourists a taste of desert life, a chance to ride across the sands, run along the dunes, and sleep under the stars.
With blazing hot summers and wet cool winters, the best times to visit North Africa are in the spring and fall.
But during Ramadan, keep in mind many restaurants and stores are closed and schedules are disrupted.
Otherwise there are plenty of tourists arriving year round, drawn to some of the most exciting attractions on earth.
When traveling in North Africa, be patient and be polite.
Keep in mind that most signs are in Arabic.
You can probably get by speaking English in most tourist places.
French comes in handy in Morocco and Tunisia but mastering a few phrases in Arabic can make everyday interactions a whole lot easier and a whole lot more fun.
Once you do that, the spirit of North Africa will no doubt seduce you with its ancient charms.

Vietti Barbera d'Asti Tre Vigne 2014
Barbera from Asti, Piedmont, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
Ruby purple color with ripe red cherry aromas with hints of mineral and vanilla. A dry, medium bodied red wine with refreshing acidity (making it perfect to pair with food) and soft tannins, the Barbera d'Asti Tre Vigne is well balanced with good integration of oak, good complexity and a finish of more red cherries.
Pairs well with antipasti, rich salads, grilled seasoned vegetables, hearty soups, pastas or with breaded veal, pork, chicken with light sauces.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "A mix of black cherry, floral and earth flavors, this red leans toward the savory side but gains purity with air. Resonates pleasantly on the finish. Drink now through 2019."
Vietti Winery
The history of the Vietti winery traces its roots back to the 19th Century. Only at the beginning of the 20th century, however, did the Vietti name become a winery offering its own wines in bottle. Patriarch Mario Vietti, starting from 1919 made the first Vietti wines, selling most of the production in Italy. His most significant achievement was to transform the family farm, engaged in many fields, into a grape-growing and wine-producing business.
Then, in 1952, Alfredo Currado (Luciana Vietti's husband) continued to produce high quality wines from their own vineyards and purchased grapes. The Vietti winery grew to one of the top-level producers in Piemonte and was one of the first wineries to export its products to the USA market.
Alfredo was one of the first to select and vinify grapes from single vineyards (such as Brunate, Rocche and Villero). This was a radical concept at the time, but today virtually every vintner making Barolo and Barbaresco wines offers "single vineyard" or "cru-designated" wines.
Alfredo is also called the "father of Arneis" as in 1967 he invested a lot of time to rediscover and understand this nearly-lost variety. Today Arneis is the most famous white wine from Roero area, north of Barolo. Setting such a fine example with Arneis, even fellow vintners as far away those on the west coast of the United States now are cultivating and producing Arneis!
With 35 hectares of vineyards, Vietti expects to not only increase production, but having greater control over the vineyards, looks to continually improve from a qualitative perspective. It is poised to excel well into the 21st Century. View all Vietti Wines
About PiedmontView a map of Piedmont wineries (PEED-mont)
Notable FactsNot just regulated to red wine, Piedmont also produces some notable whites, particularly those near the district of Gavi and Asti. Gavi produces still white wine from the Cortese grape. The wine is dry with a crisp, citrus-like acidity – fairly neutral but pleasant. Arneis is another grape/wine made in the area, creating a fuller wine that displays some nuttiness in the aroma and taste. Asti is well known for its sparkling wine – in particular Asti Spumante and Moscato d'Asti. Asti Spumante is typically higher in alcohol, sweetness & fizziness, while its higher-class cousin, Mostcato d'Asti, contains lower alcohol levels, a few less bubbles, and a more restrained and delicate representation of Moscato fruit.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

suppose i get a meterpreter sessions or a shell
using a reverse_tcp payload .
and i DON' t want to use ettercap and make a arp poisonning to the network
to sniff the traffic(man in the middle)
their is any software that i can download to the target pc (xp,vista...)
to sniff all the traffic passing throught his interface and store them to a .cap file in the target machine
then i will later download them??
i mean a software that can be launched from the command prompt (like nc,pexe...)
only for education purpose.

This is what $300 million gets you?
Bob Lewis, who I'm proud to say is my "partner in Linux crime" in the Felton Linux Users Group, sent me an e-mail this morning with a link to the first Microsoft commercial featuring comedian Jerry Seinfeld (whose dramatis persona, incidentally, spent several years as a Mac user on what can arguably be called the most watched comedy in television history).
If this is what Microsoft spent $300 million on, I think I'd ask for a refund.
On second thought, maybe that's the point: Perhaps it's payback for all the money people have spent over the years to migrate and update (or downgrade, in the case of Vista) and buy additional software (anti-virus ware, for example) to make Microsoft's software, well, work. It also begs the question about how many times Microsoft intends to take it on the chin, in the public eye.
[I also sent the link to one of my best friends and best baseball buddy Pam Tao, and she got an error message on Internet Exploder. Poetic justice anyone? Here's the message (thanks, Pam): "Internet Explorer cannot open the internet site http://justinflood.com/?p=528. Operation aborted." If you get the same message, drop the ?p=528 and scroll down a few items on Justin's blog.]
