Looks great.
Looks great.
I hope it breaks all the rules.
This looks great.
I missed Sorkin. I just hope this is West Wing Seasons 1-3 Sorkin and not West Wing Season 4 + Studio 60 Sorkin. Because West Wing Seasons 1-3 Sorkin was amazing. At the very least, this looks like the perfect vehicle for Sorkin's style.
HBO is exactly where Sorkin should be. Sorkin Unleashed!
Sites that may or may not interest you..
Hot. Shit.
Also, Studio 60 was great.
Studio 60 was completely out of Sorkin's wheelhouse. He didn't know how comedy worked. This is more like it. Until Olivia Munn ruins it.

Two weeks after the Sandy Hook shooting -- just after I put my son on the school bus -- I read about this man who had made threats to his ex-girlfriend and her son, who most likely goes to school with my youngest son. The man, who is being held on a $2.5 million bond, texted a photo of himself holding, yes, a semi-automatic rifle. He wrote that he was going to go to her son's school, kill him, and "make Sandy Hook look like nothing." While police do not believe the weapon belongs to him, he certainly had access to it at some point.
If you think that banning semi-automatic weapons infringes on your rights. please read this very unsettling link and then tell me how ensuring the rights of people who want to own these weapons outweighs our safety? What else would it take to make you agree that nobody needs semi-automatic weapons?
I have friends who keep guns at home for protection. Not my thing, but I'm cool with that. And despite my liberal leanings, I totally support those who hunt. Their meat is way fresher than anything I buy at Stop & Shop.
But no civilian needs a semi-automatic rifle. Nope, not you. Or even that guy.
To say that I don't care about your right to shoot one of these things at a rifle range is perfectly accurate. I do not care. Find another hobby.I hear quilting can be quite enjoyable.
Ban Semi-Automatic Weapons. Find Another Hobby.

How to Be a Cheater: Why I Said I Never Would & Why I Did. ~ Lindsay Timmington
I cheated on my husband.
This happened even though in my family, we were raised to believe in commitment. Particularly when it came to marriage. Barring the three deal-breaking A's—abuse, adultery & addiction—you stuck it out, no matter what.
And until recently I reasoned away the infidelity: we were separated. He'd been cheating on me for our entire three years of marriage. I was mad. I was hurt. I was drunk. I wanted to see if he was capable of feeling the type of pain he'd forced me to live in for so long.
As a yoga practitioner and certified yoga instructor I believe in the yamas–a series of guidelines for ethical living. I believe I'm a good person, kind and loving, generous and loyal. But by sleeping with another man while married I broke all of these rules. I cheated.
Our marriage was only three months old when I found out about my husband's affair. When I saw his email account left open on our computer and a bunch of emails from my best friend in his inbox, I couldn't help it, I clicked one open. A picture popped up. It was her, facing a bathroom mirror, lifting up her shirt to expose a tan, flat belly, holding a sign that said, "I miss you."
In that split second, my life bottomed out. The only thing I knew, the only thing that mattered, the only thing I wanted anymore was to make things right with him.
Two things usually happen upon a revelation of infidelity in a relationship. Either the cheater begs forgiveness or leaves. Neither of those things happened. He didn't want to stay and he didn't want to go. So I begged him to work things out with me and he tried, a little. It's difficult to balance a wife and a girlfriend, I imagine. But for an entire year he continued to date her while married to me.
I quickly found out that infidelity can make you crazy. Extreme bouts of paranoia, insecurity, rage, grief, pain and loneliness pressed down on me until I could no longer walk through my day as a normal person.
But beneath all that my guttural instinct still screamed, "You love him! You can't leave!"
Now, what I didn't hear that voice say, in much quieter tones was, "You'll never find anyone else. Who else would want you?"
Had I heard that voice, had I really listened, I may have seen that I was so intent on loving him through the cheating that I was cheating on myself.
It wasn't until he did it again that the facts started to chip away at my resolve to fix my marriage. This time he was cheating on me with a young woman we'd both befriended, taken in as our little sister and welcomed into our broken family. She acted as my support system throughout the first indiscretion and I leaned heavily on her, pouring out every thought and feeling into her open hands as I worked through my grief. I believed if I could trust anyone, it was her. Yet once again, this nagging feeling in my gut that I'd become accustomed to ignoring kept piping up, "Be careful! Watch out!"
I turned my back, unwilling to believe that anyone could witness the pain of a friend and voluntarily hurt them. Unable to believe that my husband could ever betray me again, after witnessing me collapsed on the bathroom floor, arms wrapped around the toilet, throwing up in the wake of the first betrayal.
But he did. Only this time after I found out, he meekly fought for me. Lifted an arm in a half-hearted gesture to stop me from walking out the door, and that was all I needed. I folded myself into him and let his lip service, his apologies born from being exposed, drown out my voice from within that was now screaming, "You stupid fool! When will you learn? Leave him!"
We disintegrated in baby steps.
I moved away, but we stayed married. Some time apart would do us good, we both said. And I was faithful, stood by him through continued lies and broken promises, until my pain was so omnipresent, my rage so terrifying that I wanted to scratch my way out of my skin. Somehow I had to feel okay again. So I cheated—with an old boyfriend. He was someone who'd always loved me, exalted me, made me feel beautiful and smart and funny and talented and all the things I'd stopped believing about myself. I grabbed for him and held on. I cheated.
I couldn't hide it. Couldn't lie. When my husband and I saw each other again, I cried and confessed. With a little smirk on his face he said, "I knew it."
I knew it too. I knew it was over. He'd make a mistake in cheating on me instead of leaving. I'd made a mistake in cheating on him instead of leaving.
I surprised myself by filing for divorce. He surprised me by begging to begin again. The hardest thing I've ever done was turn my back on the man I fought for and loved fiercely for many years. I knew though, that every moment we stayed together we whittled away our ability to love.
We both cheated out of fear—fear of being alone, of losing the love we knew was there, of making a huge mistake and fear of leaving the comfort and routine we had as a couple. Mostly though, we cheated because we were terrified of loving. For him the fear was in loving someone as much as he loved himself. For me, it was in loving myself as much as I loved him. But for both of us, it was all about fear.
For six years we walked the tightrope of love and fear and never found our balance. We fell. And only when we picked ourselves up and walked away—each in our separate directions—did we truly start down the path toward love.

Great article, Lindsay ~ I feel I could write volumes on this topic, as well…
Beautifully written and poignant. <3
Wow. Your openness gave me chills. Thank you for sharing. Very well written. Penetrating and beautiful.
Honest writing and insightful. Thank you for writing your story.
Really beautiful piece, Lindsay. Especially powerful for me: "For him the fear was in loving someone as much as he loved himself. For me, it was in loving myself as much as I loved him. But for both of us, it was all about fear." What a destructive combo, huh? I've been in a similar situation, but haven't before had these words to describe it. Thank you.

I have the same problem, what to do with the built pakages? have mac and windows and don't know what to do with them...
Printable View
minior suggestion...
it would be nice to have a description of the apps just like in installer...
might be usefull for finding and desideing on apps without haveing to find the app in installer....
just my $0.02
Strangely, the apps from iBuilder show under uninstall tab but not on the homescreen (except for BootNeuter, installer.app).... Anyone else facing a similar issue??
After using iBuilder and integrating it into ipwner everything worked wonderfully except everything in Installer gives me Package Download Failed from every source. I've tried to uninstall and re-install different sources... clearing the queue... holding down home and force quitting installer and nothing does the trick. Any suggestions or anyone else having this problem?
Additionally ALL of the apps that were installed with the bundle crash: summerboard, bossprefs, tris, icracks, hidepod... ect. Looks like things need a little more work, but great start!
how can I use this program with winpwn?
is only for IPSW Mac version?
add source heb.kobiani.com and try download Hebrew 1.5 and hebrew GUI, no succses...
now hebrew:
תוסיף את הסורס של קוביאני
ותוריד משם את החבילת עברית, הוא נותן שגיאה כמו בגירסא הראשונה..
יש מצב לתיקון לזה?
Tnx :D
Hey , i see the problem... thanx for the notice..
im checking out and it will be fixed on the next release (soon :) )
and some more to come...
im planning to embed it directly into the iphone
so for those with winpwn only, the will be able to extract it directly into the iphone
right after a restore...
you will be able even to uninstall from your pc..
it will be a "Phone Mode"
but for now windows users can copy the files directory into the iphone
via ssh or iPhuc and reboot...
it will work!
let me know windows users...
@Rotem925, there is something whrong with the apps created by iBuilder. I already downloaded the latest version buth the apps still keeps crashing. All original apps working fine buth the one installed by iBuilder shuts shuting down. I already checked the permissions with MobileFinder (no wifi at the moment) buth thats seems to be good. I already try with 2 diffrent firmwares and also tryed to copy from bundle to the iphone buth also crashed.
Righclick (or ctrl click on Mac) on PwnageTool 1.1 select "Show package content" and navigate to /Contents/Reesouces/InternalPackages. Drop the bundle in there. Restart PwnageTool if it was running. Create you custom ipsw firmware with IPSW Builder. Restore to the custom IPSW with iTunes
You need to be on a pwnaged 1.1.4 iPhone, bootneutered, unlocked....

First trimester surgical abortion practices: A survey of National Abortion Federation members (HTML)
Lichtenberg,E.Steve; Paul,Maureen; Jones,Heidi E.
Contraception 64(6): 345-352
Publication date: 2001
The objective of this study was to survey first trimester surgical abortion practices of North American providers. A survey was mailed to the 310 active member clinics of the National Abortion Federation, the professional organization of abortion providers in North America. The 236 respondents (76%) comprising the study group provided approximately 30% and 33% of all first trimester abortions in the US and Canada, respectively.Of the 529 practitioners who perform most abortions at the clinics, 68% are obstetrician-gynecologists, and 18% are family physicians; 51% are at least 50 years old. The majority of respondents (156 of 236, 66%) confirm gestational age with ultrasonography. Of the 202 clinics that favor one method of anesthesia, 58% use local cervical block with or without oral pre-medication, 32% combine local anesthesia with intravenous sedation, and 10% use general anesthesia. Most clinics open the cervix with tapered dilators (207 of 233, 89%), evacuate the uterus by using curved rigid plastic cannulas (157 of 229, 69%) and an electric vacuum source (191 of 233, 82%), and explore the uterus with a metal curette following aspiration (133 of 232, 57%). A large majority of respondents examine the uterine aspirate on-site (91%), prescribe antibiotics (91%), and offer oral contraceptives (95%) when requested.Although variations exist, surgical techniques and postoperative practices are quite uniform among clinics. Local anesthesia is presently the most frequent method of pain control. Ultrasonographic dating before abortion is common practice. The "graying" of skilled practitioners raises concerns about the future availability of abortion.

Fire Destroys Kure Beach Condos
By Megan V. Williams
Kure Beach, NC – The blaze started around 2:30am in a building of the Ocean Dunes condominium complex on the west side of Highway 421.
By the time firefighters arrived, gusty wind and the wooden structure meant there was little to do but keep flames from spreading to nearby units.
There were no injuries from the fire and all year-round residents in the multi-unit building are accounted for.
New Hanover County Deputy Fire Marshall Tom Sosebee describes the building, which was formerlly three stories tall and contained sixteen to eighteen units, as reduced to a pile of rubble two feet high.
"It's pretty much just all ashes," Sosebee said Tuesday.
Sosebee predicts it will take several days to determine the fire's cause.

Great Trench Coat
By Brit
from Bangor, Maine
Best Uses
Comments about Belted Trench Coat:
I just bought this coat for the sale price and I really love it. The color is incredibly vibrant. I usually order a small from Delias, and the small fit perfectly. The coat is not thick, but it is meant as a spring trench coat, not a winter coat. My only complaint (which is my complaint about all Delias jackets) is that the buttons seem loose. Thankfully, this is a problem that is easily fixed. Overall, great jacket.

What could have taken 45 minutes or less to setup took twice as long because the support pieces kept coming apart (the little metal pieces where the support legs screw into). I ended up using Elmer's glue and tape and that seemed to keep it from falling apart. I ordered the king and when the box spring was placed over the slats, you could see about 2 inches of the slats on either side of the box spring. It would have looked a lot better if it had a more snug fit. I moved the box spring more to one side to hide this. The other side was near a wall so it was not as noticeable. Also the bed sits very high when the box spring is used, which I do not mind. I would have given it a 5 rating otherwise. Displaying reviews 1-2

Posted: 5:39 p.m. Friday, Jan. 18, 2013
Clouds passing through Friday afternoon will leave the Miami Valley with fairly clear skies tonight, but an advancing cold front may deliver some light flurries into Monday morning, Storm Center 7 Chief Meteorologist Jamie Simpson says.
Tonight, a light southwest breeze will remainand temperatures will drop slightly overnight as far as the upper 20s to about 30 to start Saturday.
Saturday is shaping up to be the best day of the weekend as there will be plenty of sun with afternoon highs in the mid 40s, said Simpson, who notes that one negative will be winds expected to reach 20 mph to 30 mph by the end of the day.
A cold front expected to move through by Sunday morning will bring slow moving arctic air over the next few days, said Simpson. It will be cloudy Sunday and Monday. That sets up the possibility for a few light flurries overnight Sunday into the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday on Monday. No accumulation is expected.
