I know I already made an official Wilco thread, and to many that's all Jeff Tweedy is...is the somber front man from "that Wilco band". Many others would rank him with the very best of songwriters and in my honest opinion a very underrated guitar player. Anywho..
Born in 1967 as the 4th child to railroad worker Bob Tweedy and kitchen designer Jo Ann Tweedy. Jo Ann bought Tweedy his first guitar at age six, although he did not begin to play it seriously until he was eight. In 1981, when Tweedy was fourteen years old, he befriended Jay Farrar in an English class at Belleville Township High School West. All of the members of Farrar's family enjoyed playing music, causing Farrar to already have knowledge of the musical elements of rock and roll. By this time, Tweedy was a fan of The Ramones and country music while Farrar enjoyed The Sex Pistols.
Farrar was in a band called The Plebes with his brothers Wade and Dade, which Tweedy joined in order to qualify for a battle of the bands competition.Tweedy pushed The Plebes away from the rockabilly music that they had been playing, which caused Dade Farrar to leave the band. The band renamed themselves The Primitives in 1984, taking their name from a song by garage rock band The Groupies. Wade Farrar sang lead vocals and played harmonica, Jay Farrar played guitar, Tweedy played bass guitar, and Mike Heidorn played drums. In late 1986, the band decided to change their name to Uncle Tupelo, because a more popular British band was also using the name "The Primitives".The Primitives went on hiatus in 1986 after Wade Farrar left the band to finish his engineering degree at Southern Illinois University. While waiting for Wade to return from campus, Jay, Tweedy, and Heidorn formed "Uncle Tupelo"...
At his parents' request, Jeff Tweedy enrolled at several universities, but dropped out of them so that he could concentrate on Uncle Tupelo. While moonlighting as a record store clerk at Euclid Records in St. Louis, Tweedy met Tony Margherita. After Margherita saw the band perform at an acoustic concert in 1988, he decided to become the band's manager. The band began playing regular shows at Cicero's basement bar in the Delmar Loop near Washington University with other bands playing in a similar style. Uncle Tupelo recorded a ten-track demo tape entitled Not Forever, Just For Now in 1989, attracting the attention of Giant/Rockville Records. The independent label signed the band, and Uncle Tupelo's first album, No Depression, was released the next year. The title song, originally performed by the Carter Family, became strongly associated with the alternative country scene, and became the name of an influential alternative country periodical.
During times when Uncle Tupelo was not touring, Tweedy and Farrar played as Coffee Creek, a short-lived cover band with The Bottle Rockets' Brian Henneman and Mark Ortmann. Around this time, Tweedy began developing problems with alcohol abuse, leading to tensions between Tweedy and Farrar. While he never refused to play a gig, Tweedy was forced to sit out in place of Henneman at some performances. Tweedy quit drinking entirely after meeting future wife Sue Miller, although he replaced this habit with smoking marijuana. After releasing Still Feel Gone, the band formed a friendship with Peter Buck of R.E.M., who produced their third album March 16–20, 1992 for free. Uncle Tupelo left the Rockville label in favor of Sire Records (Warner) later in 1992 because Rockville refused to pay the band any royalties for their albums. After the signing, Max Johnston and John Stirratt joined the band as Mike Heidorn was replaced by Bill Belzer who was later replaced by Ken Coomer. The five-piece band recorded Anodyne, which sold over 150,000 copies and debuted at number 18 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart, but was the last album Uncle Tupelo released.
In January 1994, Farrar called Tony Margherita to tell him that the band was breaking up, saying that he was not having any fun in the band anymore and was not getting along with Tweedy. Tweedy was enraged that Farrar decided to break up the band without notifying him, and this led to a series of harsh verbal exchanges. Farrar and Tweedy agreed to a final Uncle Tupelo tour, but the concerts were marred by the two not participating in each other's songs. The band decided to play Tweedy's "The Long Cut" on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, which further distanced Farrar and Tweedy Farrar began to assemble a new band named Son Volt with Mike Heidorn, bassist Jim Boquist, and his brother Dave Boquist. At the same time, Jeff Tweedy formed "Wilco" with Stirratt, Johnston, and Coomer: http://www.muzicforums.com/rock/1925...co-thread.html

The Girls Guide To Supplements
A good, hard, training regimen is the only way to get a perfectly lean body, and it releases all those endorphins that make you feel awesome afterward. But by all estimates, a sound nutritional program accounts for around 80 percent of your results. What those don't account for is the power of supplements.
Add these 15 critical elements to your diet, and you'll supercharge your lean muscle gains, accelerate fat loss and improve your overall health.
Symbol Key
All of the supplements below have numerous benefits. Below is a symbol guide showing the primary benefits of each supplement.
- Lean Muscle Growth - Fat Burning - Overall Health
- Increases Strength - Increases Energy
WHAT IT IS: One of milk's two proteins.
WHAT IT DOES: Whey's primary characteristic is its digestibility. Once in the body, it breaks down quickly, swiftly sending its aminos to muscle tissue. This is beneficial because there are certain times of day (first thing in the morning, before and after workouts) when the lean whole-food proteins we normally recommend (eggs, chicken breast, lean steak, fish) digest too slowly to be effective. But whey doesn't deliver only protein. It contains peptides (protein fragments) that have been suggested to help increase blood flow to muscles, which is particularly helpful before workouts, so that muscles may receive more oxygen, nutrients and hormones right when they need them.
HOW TO TAKE IT: Take 20 grams of whey protein (mixed in water) ?rst thing upon waking, within 30 minutes before workouts and another 20 g within 30 minutes after training. And you can always have a scoop as a snack between meals.
2 N.O. Boosters
WHAT IT IS: Any number of compounds that serve to increase levels of nitric oxide in the bloodstream.
WHAT IT DOES: N.O. relaxes the muscles that control blood vessels, which makes them increase in diameter, allowing more blood to flow through them and to muscles. Because blood carries oxygen and nutrients such as glucose, fat and amino acids, more of these getting to your muscles may help support better energy production - so you can train harder for longer - and better recovery from workouts, which means bigger muscles that can be trained more often. Blood also contains a high percentage of water, which gets pushed through those wider blood vessels into muscles to create the muscle pump you experience when you train. That pump stretches the membranes of muscle cells, which may help you by signaling the cells to grow bigger. In addition, NO may help support lipolysis, which is the release of fat from the body's fat cells, allowing it to be burned for fuel.
HOW TO TAKE IT: Look for products that include ingredients such as arginine, citrulline, GPLC (glycine propionyl-L-carnitine) or Pycnogenol. Take one dose of an NO-boosting supplement about 30-60 minutes before workouts.
3 Caffeine
WHAT IT IS: Only the world's most popular stimulant drug.
WHAT IT DOES: You already know it perks you up and improves focus, but it also has been found to support a boost in muscle strength, intensity and fat loss during workouts. And it works especially well when taken with green tea extract. Caffeine promotes an increase in the amount of fat that gets released from your fat cells. Meanwhile, green tea boosts metabolic rate, which is the way the body burns fat in the bloodstream. Taking these compounds together may just be the support necessarry to ensure that the fat that caffeine has released will get burned up for energy.
HOW TO TAKE IT: Take 200-400 milligrams of caffeine two or three times per day, with one dose 30-60 minutes before workouts.
WHAT IT IS: Two essential omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
WHAT IT DOES: What doesn't fish oil do? It reduces may help support overall health, and, a biggie, it also has been found to turn on genes that stimulate fat burning.
HOW TO TAKE IT: Take 2g of fish oil three times daily, with breakfast, lunch and dinner.
WHAT IT IS: The other of milk's two proteins.
WHAT IT DOES: Though they come from the same place, whey and casein couldn't be more different. Casein is extremely slow to digest, which means it provides a steady stream of aminos over a span of several hours. That makes it ideal for certain time periods, like right before bed, when your body is about to go without food for seven to eight hours. In fact, one study performed by the Weider Research Group found that when subjects took casein protein before bed, they gained more muscle than those who took casein in the morning. Another study found that when subjects consumed a mix of whey and casein after workouts, they had improved muscle growth as compared to subjects who took just whey.
HOW TO TAKE IT: Take 20g of casein right before bed. Also consider combining 10g of casein with 10g of whey in your post-workout shake.
WHAT IT IS: Three aminos (isoleucine, leucine and valine) that share a branched molecular structure.
WHAT IT DOES: The unique structure of BCAAs gives them certain unique properties, all of which have physique benefits. BCAAs may help increase the length of your workouts - they can be burned as fuel by muscle tissue and they may actually help curb exercise-induced muscle fatigue. The BCAAs are also intimately involved in the creation of new muscle tissue, both as the building blocks and as the builder. Leucine, in particular, promotes protein synthesis, which is the process by which muscle grows. BCAAs may also help boost growth-hormone levels, reduce cortisol and increase levels of insulin, the anabolic hormone that's critical to replenishing muscle tissue with nutrients after workouts.
HOW TO TAKE IT: Take 5-10 g of BCAAs with preworkout and postworkout shakes.
WHAT IT IS: An amino-acid-like compound that occurs naturally in muscle tissue.
WHAT IT DOES: Creatine's most basic function is to help muscles create fast energy during exercise. Taking supplemental creatine may help increase the amount of energy the body has to draw upon, supporting increased endurance and strength. The compound also draws water into muscle cells, increasing their size and causing a stretch that can yield growth.
HOW TO TAKE IT: Take 2-5 g of creatine (depending on the form you use) before and after workouts with pre- and post-workout shakes.
WHAT IT IS: A nonessential amino acid.
WHAT IT DOES: When beta-alanine meets another amino acid, histidine, a beautiful thing happens: They get together and form a compound called carnosine. Carnosine has been suggested to improve muscle size, strength and endurance and support fat loss. Since the amount of carnosine the body can produce is directly dependent on how much beta-alanine is present, it makes sense to supplement with beta-alanine.
HOW TO TAKE IT: Take 1-3 g of beta-alanine immediately before and immediately after workouts.
WHAT IT IS: A healthy fat that just happens to be an omega-6 fatty acid.
WHAT IT DOES: Although other omega-6 fats are not so healthy, primarily because Americans tend to get too much of them in their diet, CLA is different. Numerous studies suggest it supports fat loss while simultaneously promoting muscle growth and strength. It's main mechanism appears to support a boost in metabolism. It also appears to promote burning more fat during sleep, thereby sparing muscle tissue.
HOW TO TAKE IT: Take about 2g of CLA three times daily, with breakfast, lunch and dinner.
WHAT IT IS: An essential mineral.
WHAT IT DOES: Just about everyone knows that calcium is intrinsically linked to bone health, but did you know that it's also required for muscle contraction? Without adequate calcium, muscles won't contract properly. And research suggests this unassuming mineral can also help spur fat loss. This may be because calcium decreases the amount of dietary fat that's absorbed by the intestines and suppresses a hormone called calcitriol, which is responsible for reducing fat burning.
HOW TO TAKE IT: Take 500-600 mg of calcium twice a day.
WHAT IT IS: The sunshine vitamin.
WHAT IT DOES: New research keeps coming; most of it supporting Vitamin D's ample health benefits. Vitamin D is associated with greater muscle strength - interacting with receptors on muscle fibers to activate genes that increase muscle strength and growth. As a plus, D may help support fat loss, especially when taken in conjunction with calcium.
HOW TO TAKE IT: Take about 2,000 international units of vitamin D twice per day at the same time you take calcium.
WHAT IT IS: The active ingredients in green tea, particularly the polyphenol epigallocatechin gallate.
WHAT IT DOES: EGCG blocks an enzyme that normally breaks down norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter/hormone related to adrenaline that increases metabolic rate and fat burning, keeping norepinephrine levels higher. Green tea extract also has been suggested to help support enhanced muscle recovery after intense workouts, as well as aid in supporting healthy joint function.
HOW TO TAKE IT: Take about 500 mg of green tea extract standardized for EGCG three times daily before meals, with one dose about 30-60 minutes before workouts.
WHAT IT IS: A series of essential vitamins.
WHAT IT DOES: Think of it this way: B makes you buzz. The suite of B vitamins is critically involved in helping your body derive energy from the nutrients you eat and helping get oxygen to muscle tissue. Feeling rundown and lacking energy? It's likely because you're deficient in B vitamins, a common trait of hard-training individuals. Certain B vitamins have additional benefits - riboflavin can help the body digest and use the protein you're eating to make sure you're building muscle properly, and folic acid, in addition to being essential to fetal health, is involved in NO production in the body.
HOW TO TAKE IT: Look for a B complex 100, which will provide 100 mg of most of the B vitamins, including thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5) and pyridoxine (B6), as well as at least 100 micrograms of cobalamin (B12), folic acid (B9) and biotin (B7).
WHAT IT IS: An essential vitamin.
WHAT IT DOES: At the first sign of a tickle in your throat you probably start main-lining the C. That's good, because the vitamin has been suggested to help support immune system function. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that is also involved in the synthesis of hormones, amino acids and collagen and, on top of all that, it destroys free radicals, created from exercise and other stressors, that break down nitric oxide. Sparing NO from free-radicals helps support higher NO levels, and higher NO levels may promote increased muscle endurance, a reduction in exercise-enduced fatigue and increased support for lean muscle growth and strength.
HOW TO TAKE IT: Take 1,000 mg twice a day with meals.
WHAT IT IS: A blend of adequate amounts of major micronutrients.
WHAT IT DOES: Put simply, a multivitamin/multimineral complex fills in all the nutritional gaps in your diet. And, although we suggest you supplement separately with calcium and vitamins B, C and D, you should still take a standard multi. It may help support against the possibility of deficiencies in some of the other vitamins and minerals that can result from reduced food variety or calorie intake (read: dieting) and increased vitamin loss from exercise. Being deficient in many of these micronutrients can lead to low energy levels and restrict muscle growth, strength gains and fat loss.
HOW TO TAKE IT: Look for a multi that provides a minimum of 100% of the daily value of C, D, E and most of the B-complex vitamins and at least 100% of zinc, copper and chromium. Take it once per day with a meal, such as breakfast.

I usually wake at 5am, have a small breakfast of 3 egg whites and a piece of toast then I take Yok3d followed by Jack3d about 20mins later. I hit the gym by 7am then have my protein shake post workout. Should I be having a protein shake before gym and not eating solids when using Yok3d and Jack3d?

If i eat solid food before I take pre-workout boosters, they do not work as well for me. I have a whey protein shake about 30-40 min prior to taking Jack3d/C4 and that works great. Then I pound another whey shake post-workout and eat at least a 60g protein meal about 1hr after the workout.

I had started working out on the 1st of the year and was advised at the beginning of February to limit my activity level until the beginning of March because I was having asthma and sinus problems that were being aggravated because of working out. So I am taking the time to collect information about workouts and the right supplements so as soon as I get the okay to start I can start right. This article is quite helpful and I have basically been cross checking it on a daily basis with the online stores I get my other vitamins from so I can order the proper supplements to have them when I get the okay to workout. Thank you once again for the helpful information.

My Question is about product lines that say they are made specifically for women vs. the regular co-ed products. So for example, FitMiss and Shred line, (Shred Matrix) both MP products, but do you think the FitMiss line will definitely boost women's weight loss and muscle building better or would she get the same results just using Shred Matrix and the regular product line? I feel like women might get jipped just using the women's line when they can get the same results using the regular line. Just curious and want a good answer.
This is really the question I was hoping to find the answer to as well. I am looking for my girlfriend as last time she bought that pretty intense GNC Anabolic ****. She's very sweet and I think she got sold a bit by the guy. I have used that one too before and I think it is good, but overpriced with a lot of proverbial bells and whistles to justify the premium. To me, just straight Gold Whey is **** solid, but I'm wondering if some of these girl's brands are actually better in anyway. Any feedback is appreciated.

Acharya Hemachandra was a Jain scholar, poet, and polymath who wrote on grammar, philosophy, prosody, and contemporary history. Noted as a prodigy by his contemporaries, he gained the title Kalikāl Sarvagya, "all-knowing of the Kali Yuga".
Early life[edit]
He was born[note 1] in Dhandhuka, Gujarat to Chachinga and Pahini on Kartika Sud Purnima (the full moon day of Kartika month) in Modh Bania caste. Chachinga was Vaishnav by religion while Pahini was a Jain.[1][2] He was named Changadev. Once Jain monk Devachandrasuri visited Dhandhuka and was pleased by intellect of boy. He approached his mother Pahini and she along with the maternal uncle of agreed to hand over him to Devachandrasuri against the will of his father. Devchabdrasuri left Dhandhuka and reached Khambhat along with boy. There he was initiated as Jain monk on Magha Sud Chauth (4th day of the bright half of Magha month) and was given new name, Somchandra. Uda Mehta or Udayan, the governor of Khambhat, helped Devchandrasuri in the ceremony.[1][2] He was trained in religious discourse, philosophy, logic and grammar and became well versed in both, Jain and non–Jain scriptures. At the age of 21, he was ordained as an Acharya of the Svetambara sect of Jainism at Nagar in Rajasthan. He was named Acharya Hemachandra Suri.[1][2][3]
Hemchandra and Siddharaj[edit]
At the time, Gujarat was ruled by the Solanki dynasty from Anhilwad Patan. It is not certain when Hemachandra visited Anhilwad Patan first time. As the Jain monks do not stay at one place for eight months and stay at the one place on invitation by lay followers during four months of monsoon, Chaturmas. He started living at Anhilwad for long days and produced majority of his works there.[1][2]
Probably around 1125, he was introduced to Solanki king, Siddharaj Jaisinh (fl. 1092–1141) and he soon rose to prominence in his royal court. In 1135, when Siddharaj conquered Malwa, he brought the works of Bhoj[disambiguation needed] from Dhar along with other things. One day Siddhraj came across the manuscript of Saraswati Kanthabharan (also known as Lakshana Prakash), a treatise on Sanskrit grammar. He was so much impressed by it that he told the scholars in his court to produce such easy as well as lucid grammar. Hemchandra requested Siddharaj to find the eight best work of grammars from Kashmir. He studied them and produced new grammar work in the Asthadhyayi style of Panini. It was easier as well as more lucid than any other grammar work and was better than Saraswati Kanthabharan.[1][2] He named the grammar work, Siddha-Hem-Shabdanushashana after himself and the king. Siddharaj was so pleased with the work that he ordered it to be placed on the back of elephant and the procession was held on the streets of Anhilwad Patan.[4][5] He also composed Dvyashraya Kavya, the epic on history of Solanki dynasty, to illustrate whole grammar.[2]
Hemachandra and Kumarpal[edit]
According to Prabhachandra, there was an incident where Siddharaj wanted to kill his nephew Kumarpal because it was prophecised that the kingdom would meet its demise through Kumarpal hands. Hemachandra hid Kumarpal under a pile of manuscripts to save him.[1] However, such motifs are common in Indian folk literature, hence there is no guarantee that this was a historical event. Also, many sources differ on what were the motives of Siddharaj.[1] However, they are unanimous in claiming that Hemachandra was responsible to make Kumarpal the king and helped him run the kingdom according to Jain principles.[1][2]
He became the advisor to Kumarpal (1143–1173). During Kumarapal's reign, Gujarat became a reputed center of culture. Taking an approach of Anekantavada, Hemchandra is said to have displayed a broad-minded attitude, which pleased Kumarpal.[3] Kumarpal was the Shaiva, the follower of Shiva. He ordered to rebuild the Somnath temple at Prabhas Patan. Some people who were jealous of Hemachandra's rising popularity with the Kumarpal complained that Hemachandra was a very arrogant person, that he did not respect the Hindu gods and that he refused to bow down to Shiva. When called upon to visit the temple on the inauguration with Kumarpal, Hemachandra readily bowed before the linga of Shiva, but said:[3]
I am bowing down only to that god who has destroyed the passions like attachment and hatred which are the cause of worldly life, whether he is Brahma, Vishnu, or Jina.
He ensured that he remained true to tenets of Jainism, namely, that a Jain should bow down only to a passionless and detached God such as a Jina, and at the same time managed to please Kumarpal. Ultimately, the king became a devoted follower of Hemachandra and a champion of Jainism.[1][3] Starting in 1121, Hemachandra was involved in the construction of the Jain temple at Taranga. His influence on Kumarpal resulted in the Jainism becoming the official religion of Gujarat, and animal slaughter was banned in the state. The tradition of animal Sacrifice in the name of religion was completely uprooted in Gujarat. A huge number of Rajputs, Kharwas, vaishyas etc. took a vow to become completely vegetarian. As a result, even after almost 900 years after Hemchandrachrya Gujarat still continues to be a predominant vegetarian state despite of having an extensive coastline providing variety of good quality seafood. [1][2]
A prodigious writer, Hemachandra wrote grammars of Sanskrit and Prakrit, poetry, prosody, lexicons, texts on science and logic and practically all branches of Indian philosophy.
This Sanskrit grammar was written on the Ashtadhyayi style of Panini. It has seven chapters with each chapter having four section similar to that of Bhoj. It also included six Prakrit languages; Standard Prakrit (virtually Jain Maharashtri), Saurseni, Magadhi, Paishachi, Chulika-Paishachi and Apabhramsha (virtually Gurjar Apabhramsha, prevent in the area of Gujarat and Rajasthan at that time and the precursor of Old Gujarati language). He gave detailed grammar of Apabhramsha and also illustrated it with the folk literature of the time for better understanding. It is the only known Apabhramsha grammar.[2]
Dvyashraya Kavya[edit]
To illustrate the grammar, he produced the epic poetry Dvyashraya Kavya on the history of Solanki dynasty. It is an important source of history of region of the time.[2]
The epic poem Tri-shashthi-shalaka-purusha-charitra (Lives of Sixty-Three Great Men), is a hagiographical treatment of twenty four Tirthankaras and other important persons who were instrumental in defining the Jain philosophical position, their asceticism and eventual liberation from the cycle of death and rebirth, as well as the legendary spread of the Jain influence. It still serves as the standard synthesis of source material for the early history of Jainism.[2] The appendix to this work, Parishista-parvan, contains his own commentary and is in itself a treatise of considerable depth (translated into English as The Lives of the Jain Elders by Richard Fynes (Oxford University Press, 1998)).[2]
His Kavyanuprakasha follows the model of Kashmiri rhetorician Mammata's Kavya-prakasha. He quoted other scholars like Anandavardhana and Abhinavagupta in his works.[2]
Abhidhan-Chintamani is a lexicon while Anekarth Kosha is a lexicon of words bearing multiple meanings. Deshi-Shabda-Sangraho or Desi-nama-mala is the lexicon of local or non-Sanskrit origin. Niganthu Sesa is a botanical lexicon.[2]
Hemachandra, following the earlier Gopala, presented an earlier version of the Fibonacci sequence. It was presented around 1150, about fifty years before Fibonacci (1202). He was considering the number of cadences of length n, and showed that these could be formed by adding a short syllable to a cadence of length n − 1, or a long syllable to one of n − 2. This recursion relation F(n) = F(n − 1) + F(n − 2) is what defines the Fibonacci sequence.[6][7]
Other works[edit]
His other works are Chandanushasana (prosody), commentary in rhetoric work Alankara Chudamani, Abhidhana-chintamani, Yoga-Shastra (treatises on Yoga),[1] Pramana-mimansa (logic), Vitaraga-Stotra (prayers).[2]

Using the Raspberry Pi as a gateway proxy
Gateway to the World
Extend protection to all of your Internet traffic with a Raspberry Pi minicomputer set up as a cost-effective external proxy server.
The Tor Project offers an option for obfuscating your IP address and thus hiding the most important clue to your identity on the web. When it is installed locally, you need to connect every single client application separately with Tor, which can be complicated. Moreover, the application must be able to communicate via SOCKS. If, instead, you choose to route your entire Internet traffic through the Tor network, your only option is an external router.
The Raspberry Pi (Figure 1) is ideal in this role because the hardware is cheap, and its power consumption is low. This project gained popularity as Onion Pi [1]. But, even as a Tor user, you should not rely on this solution alone for security. After all, obfuscating your IP address is only half the battle and cannot hide your identity on its own (see the "Tor Limits" box).
Tor Limits
Another aspect typically overlooked is bad exit nodes. Exit nodes generally act as the final arbiter in the mix cascade, and they transfer data in the clear, unless the requested page uses SSL encryption itself. For operators of exit nodes – which basically anybody can operate – it's really easy to sniff login information or potentially sensitive documents from the data stream. In contrast, you can protect yourself by using only trusted exit nodes, such as those operated by the Chaos Computer Club [3].
You're Off!
This how-to for setting up Onion Pi assumes you have an image such as Raspbian [4] set up on the SD card in your Rasp Pi. All the input and changes listed in the article require root privileges. Additionally, you need a network cable and a wireless stick.
The first step is to configure the Raspberry as an access point and DHCP server. Use the
ifconfig -a
command to check whether the wlan 0
interface is available. If the interface already has an IP address, you can disable it by typing:
ifdown wlan0
The next step is to install the required software components as root with the following command:
apt-get update && apt-get install hostapd isc-dhcp-server tor
Next, edit the /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
DHCP server configuration file in the nano editor and comment out the following lines by adding a hash tag (#
) at the start of each line:
# option domain-name "example.org"; # option domain-name-servers ns1.example.org, ns2.example.org;
Then, remove the comment character to the left of the authoritative;
statement and append the configuration block shown in Listing 1 to the file. You can modify the subnet to match your needs, press Ctrl+O to save the changes, and Ctrl+X to quit the editor.
Listing 1
DHCP Configuration
subnet 192.168.42.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.42.10 192.168.42.50; option broadcast-address 192.168.42.255; option routers 192.168.42.1; default-lease-time 600;
In the /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server
file, tell the server which interface to use to assign IP addresses in the future using the INTERFACES=
directive. For the present scenario, you need to enter a value of wlan0
and assign a static IP address to the wlan0
interface in the /etc/network/interfaces
file (Listing 2).
Listing 2
WLAN IP Address
iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet dhcp allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet static address 192.168.42.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
Calling ifup wlan0
enables the WLAN interface. For the Onion Pi to act as an access point, you first need to configure the service in the /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
file (Listing 3). You will want to change the value of wpa_passphrase
: This password is used to log in to the wireless LAN later on.
Listing 3
Configure Onion Pi Service
interface=wlan0 driver=rtl871xdrv ssid=OnionPi hw_mode=g channel=6 macaddr_acl=0 auth_algs=1 ignore_broadcast_ssid=0 wpa=2 wpa_passphrase=<password> wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK wpa_pairwise=TKIP rsn_pairwise=CCMP
For the Upstart daemon to start automatically on distros that use it, enter a value of
in the /etc/default/hostapd
configuration file. For compatibility with current WLAN sticks, the developers of Onion Pi also recommend an update of hostapd:
wget http://www.adafruit.com/downloads/adafruit_hostapd.zip unzip adafruit_hostapd.zip mv /usr/sbin/hostapd /usr/sbin/hostapd.ORIG mv hostapd /usr/sbin chmod 755 /usr/sbin/hostapd
After updating the access point deamon, start the two components by typing:
service hostapd start service isc-dhcp-server start
To load the components automatically, you can type
update-rc.d hostapd enable update-rc.d isc-dhcp-server enable
at system startup.
Communication between the wireless subnet and Tor requires some adjustments to the network configuration. The first step is to open the /etc/sysctl.conf
file and append net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
. The sysctl -p
command enables the change. Next, you should adjust the iptables rules [5]. To begin, delete any that exist by calling:
iptables -F iptables -t nat -F
Then, enable the most important rules (Listing 4). To save the configuration, type:
Listing 4
Enable iptables Rules
§§nonumbers iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i wlan0 -p tcp --dport 22 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 22 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i wlan0 -p udp --dport 53 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 53 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i wlan0 -p tcp --syn -j REDIRECT --to-ports 9040
sh -c iptables-save > /etc/iptables.ipv4.nat
To allow the system to parse the new rules at the next reboot, open the /etc/network/interfaces
file and add a blank line followed by up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.ipv4.nat
Setting Up Tor
The Tor configuration file is stored in the /etc/tor/torrc
file. You can add the passage from Listing 5 directly after the line ## https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq#torrc
Listing 5
Tor Configuration
Log notice file /var/log/tor/notices.log VirtualAddrNetwork 10.192.0.0/10 AutomapHostsSuffixes .onion,.exit AutomapHostsOnResolve 1 TransPort 9040 TransListenAddress 192.168.42.1 DNSPort 53 DNSListenAddress 192.168.42.1
For Tor to be able to log its messages in the notices.log
file, you first need to create the file and assign the necessary permissions:
touch /var/log/tor/notices.log chown debian-tor /var/log/tor/notices.log chmod 644 /var/log/tor/notices.log
Finally, you can restart Tor by typing service tor start
. For this service to start automatically after reboot, type update-rc.d tor enable
To use Tor, you simply need to log on to the new WLAN. To discover whether the setup is working as expected, go to the "Are you using Tor?" site [6] (Figure 2). If successful, the message "Congratulations. Your browser is configured to use Tor" appears.

Leave it to a Pats fan to make some picks on our real needs. This seems like a nice draft for us. A lot of fans seem to like Tate but I would rather have a RB. Given BB's history I expect a trade back on one of our 2nd rounder for the next year. from NEpatriotsdraft.com 27 Mike Iupati, OG, Idaho Just like Logan Mankins, this pick couldn't get less sexy. That said, Iupati is an athletic big man that will instantly shore up the porous interior of the Patriot offensive line. 47. New England (TEN) . Jeremy Beal, DE, Oklahoma Athletic DE that translates to an OLB for the Patriots. Should finally bring the Patriots some consistent pass-rush. 48. New England (JAX) 6'3 - 260 lbs. Brandon Graham, DE, Michigan 6'2 - 263 lbs Oh, you want more pass rush? Brandon Graham will give you pass rush skills that compliment a solid run-game and a non-stop motor 59. New England Patriots Golden Tate, WR, Notre Dame Tate would finally provide the true #3 Wideout that Tom Brady has been looking for since Jabar Gaffney left for Denver. from FF Toolbox Jeremy Beal, DE, Oklahoma He may only be a junior during the 2009 campaign, but Jeremy Beal has been a dominating pass rusher for two years with the Sooners of Oklahoma. If he opts to leave for the NFL a year early, he will likely be nearly as dominate of a force in the NFL. Even as a redshirt freshman in 2007, Beal earned a couple of starts and finished the campaign with one sack and 5.0 tackles-for-loss. In 2008 Beal stepped into a starting role and never looked back. He started all 14 games that season and ended up with an impressive 8.5 sacks and 15.5 tackles-for-loss. He even added 61 tackles and four pass break-ups. Everybody wanted to see if Beal could do it again in 2009 as an upperclassman and he did not disappoint. Through the regular season, Beal led the team with 11.0 sacks and 18.0 tackles-for-loss. Once again he proved that he is more than just a pass rusher and totaled 65 tackles. Beal has already shown that he can consistently get to the quarterback, and his production in 2009 has proven to scouts that he was not a one year wonder. If he opts to go to the NFL he may not be a first round selection, but with a good showing at the NFL Combine and in personal workouts he could be a second or third rounder very easily. Brandon Graham is currently the best pass rusher in the Big Ten, and one of the top four or five pass rushers in all of college football. In 40 career games, he has accumulated 40 tackles for loss and 22 sacks. Graham's biggest question mark (as far as his draft status is concerned), is what position he'll end up playing in the NFL. At 6'2 and 263 pounds he is somewhat of a "tweener". He is slightly undersized for a 4-3 defensive end and there are questions about whether or not he will be able to effectively drop into coverage if he plays as a 3-4 outside linebacker. Regardless of what position scouts see him at, he is a consensus late first round or early second round prospect. His best fit may be as a defensive end for a team that runs a version of the cover 2 defense. He isn't the biggest end, but he plays the run extremely well for his size. He does a great job of turning ball carriers back inside and right into his linebackers. Couple that with his quick first step and wide array of pass rushing maneuvers,and he is similar in a lot of ways to Robert Mathis of the Indianapolis Colts. His draft stock should continue to rise every week as he continues to make big plays for the Wolverine defense.
Thanks for agreeing CarolinaTony -- I really felt like that was a great draft. Couldn't decide between Austen Lane and Jeremy Beal, but felt like Beal was a bit more proven than Lane. Hardy, Lane, Romeus, Graham, Beal, any of those guys would be a great compliment to TBC.
I like Graham, but with Cain and possibly Burgess already on the roster, I could see BB preferring to take a bigger guy like Lane, Hardy, or Romeus. And isn't Jarvis Green likely to leave next year? When that happens we'd have a HUGE hole at 3-4 DE. I think that should be addressed before another WR.
I like Graham, but with Cain and possible Burgess already on the roster, I could see BB preferring to take a bigger guy like Lane, Hardy, or Romeus. I will be honest; I don't watch much collage ball and base this more on position and needs rather than the player. You need someone like Mayo to give you a more in depth analysis of these players. We need pass rushers and a OG so I would be happy with this. I can't argue which of this players would be better for us. RB is more of a need for us imo but WR is also a need. I like this draft but somehow BB will go another direction like he always does. I have hear Hardy is a stud but we may need to draft UP to get him.
I don't see Graham and Odrick falling that far. I think we better draft Graham in the first if that's the olb we target. I think we'd have to trade up to get Odrick. He might be worth it. Of course, we have to wait until the end of free-agency to see what our needs are. Could change dramaticlly if Pats sign J.Peppers.
I liked your draft a lot. However, to nitpick, I think that picking 27th is generous right now, and that we're more like to pick in the 21-25 range. With that in mind, I've slot us where Arizona is picking at 22 and 54, in which case I would be even happier with the following (juniors with an *): 22. Cameron Heyward*, DE, Ohio State. 6'6" 287# guy who I think could be the next Richard Seymour at the 5 technique. 47. Greg Romeus*, DE/OLB, Pittsburgh. 6'5" 265# monster with a non-stop motor. 48. Gabe Carimi*, OT/OG, Wyoming. A 6'7" 325# beast who should be able to play RG or RT equally. 54. Austen Lane, DE/OLB, Murray State. A 6'6" 260# freak with 4.6 speed and DeMarcus Ware agility (6.70 3-cone, 4.07 20 yard shuttle). I love Beal and Graham and would be happy with both, but I think that Lane is better suited to play in space than Graham and that Romeus and Lane offer the kind of length and athleticism that BB loves. I love Iupati, but I can't turn up the chance to get a blue chip prospect at 3-4 DE, and I think Gabe Carimi should be about as good for as at RG/RT. I like Golden Tate, but I still don't see what he provides that a healthy Brandon Tate shouldn't. Give B. Tate a chance before drafting another Tate. Short of landing Rolando McClain, that would be about as good a draft as I could imagine.
I have a couple of questions for you guys? Is it a given that BB trades back one of the 2nd rounders? There's no way I can see him using all 3 picks. I would love to see him trade up if there a difference maker we can use. What makes some of you want Peppers? He's making 17 mil this year for Carolina and we all know we won't pay that.
I don't think anything's a given with BB. It's not at all clear to me that he's going to trade back in this draft, or trade one of his 2nd round picks into 2011. He already has 2 1sts and a 2nd in 2011, and 2010 should be extremely deep. I could see BB standing pat, or moving around a bit within the rounds, or possibly even trading up. I could also seeing him trade back out of the 1st round if he doesn't like the values left. Anything could happen. As for Peppers, watch the Carolina-Minny game to see why some people want him. But I don't see how to make the money work.
As for Peppers, watch the Carolina-Minny game to see why some people want him. But I don't see how to make the money work. I see Peppers every week. He played good against the Viks BUT, he doesn't do this every week Mayo. There's a lot of games you don't see him. Most fans wanted him gone and like you say there's the $$$. If he played liked that every week I would want him on the Pats.
I don't think we trade any picks for next year. This is supposedly a good draft. We don't have a 3 and 5. So, I think we will use all of them. We already have two nr 1's in 2011 because of the Seymour trade. Hypothetically, let's say the Raiders really tank. We could trade down from a top 2-3 pick and stay in top 10 and pick up an extra 2. That would give us plenty of picks for next years draft. We are really set to have a nice 3 year run in drafts. Hopefully, the scouting dept. is on their game and pick the right guys.
Good stuff, I like it. Personally I think the Pats will sign a veteran FA at OLB/DE, likely a middle tier player that could turn into a Vrabel or end up being a stiff. Either way it will give us plenty to complain about. With a veteran FA on board the Patriots proceed to draft a OLB. Beal works for me. Then they focus on offensive and defensive lines with maybe a DB thrown in for good measure. Of course this means they will draft a QB, TE, maybe two TEs... time will tell. Amazing how popular the draft has become, used to have to wait until March to get this kind of detail. Nice work boys.
I wouldn't be shocked one bit if we draft J.Gresham - TE - Oklahoma. He'd be a Top 10 pick if he played this year. He hurt his knee before the season. If he passes our physical, I can see us picking him. A lot of film on him performing well in big games. Losing the season doesn't hurt him that much. ? is his knee.
Do you have a link to any footage of him playing? I've read a lot of good things about him but never actually seen him play.
I don't, but watch the bowl game -- Draft Homework - Meineke Car Care Bowl -- and check out Romeus, Quinn/Carter (2011 DE and LB Prospects), Jonathan Baldwin ('11 WR) and more... it will be a great game to watch, talent-wise.
At the moment. I think it's quite likely that the Pats will fill that 3rd round gap, at least, before the second round ends. They may do it by trading away a player, or they may rearrange their picks somehow (e.g., trading two of their seconds for a higher second, a third, and a fifth).
Before suggesting that we trade for a third, you might consult Belichick's use of tradeable third round picks. The record is pretty dreadful.
BB's use of 3rd round picks for the Pats: 2000 - J.R. Redmond - not much there. 2001 - Brock Williams - see above. 2002 - traded to move up for Dan Graham - decent use of the pick. 2003 - traded pick (#75) plus 2nd round pick (#41) for #36 and #117, used to draft Eugene Wilson - decent but not great. 2004 - Gus Scott - dreadful may be an understatement. 2005 - Ellis Hobbs - decent but not great. 95 pick traded for John Starks - dreadful may be an understatement. Nick Kaczur was a comp pick. 2006 - traded up for Chad Jackson, and Dave Thomas. Dreadful may be an understatement. 2007 - traded. 2008 - traded + Crable and O'Connell. Dreadful may be an understatement. 2009 - traded x 2 for 2010 2nd round picks plus Brandon Tate. Too early to tell. McKenzie was a comp pick. "Pretty dreadful" may be an understatement.
Wish to hell we still had Dave Thomas on this team. John Starks was a good defender and streaky 3-point shooter, but he just didn't seem to fit into the scheme.

Thanks everyone!
For those of you that asked, I live on a hobby farm about 25 minutes outside of Kingston, Ontario. So far things have been going very well, Riley is currently 3 1/2 months old (14 weeks), she can sit and lay on command, and is pretty good at walking on the leash (until we turn to head home, than she pulls, and runs) I tried finding more pictures of her, but most of them are pretty much the same (same pose, in the same field lol) here are a few that I did find. 8 weeks old First Walk I'm really excited to see what the length of her hair will be when she's fully mature. |

I've always found it best to tour thru the local museum first; then go to the local attractions. This provides a good background to understand what you are looking at. I sprung for a local English speaking guide for the day. Mr Sam provided a car and excellent commentary for $50. He is a local History Teacher. We covered everything in a day. I went back the next day for early morning & late afternoon photos.
Day 71: One Dollah, You Buy?
Trip Start
May 20, 2008
Trip End
Aug 19, 2008
Where I stayed
After hill climb to see one final epic view of the temple, but again too much overcast for sunset, the day's bike ride around Angkor ended. There is much detail I have left out however, all involving the merchant children blanketing the park selling their various knick-knacks.
Sample exchanges:
- "You hungry for lunch?"
- "Yes."
(a horde of kids from competing restaurants attack)
- "Come eat here!" "No, here!" "Here!" "You hungry?" ... and the classic: "but I asked you first!"
- "Hello, where you from?"
- "California."
- "Capital of California is Sacramento. Capital of US is New York. Population of US is 300mil. US speaks English. Capital of Michigan is Chicago. Okay you pay me money?"
- "You buy book?"
- "No, sorry."
- "You buy hat?"
- "No."
- "You buy sunglasses?"
- "No."
- "You by scarf?"
- "You buy something to drink?"
- "(ignore)"
- "You buy some food?"
- "(ignore, patience buckling)"
- "You buy postcard?"
- "We're students, we don't have much money. But look! Those tourists are rich, you'd be better off asking them! It was nice meeting you."
- "Ok bye."
(child merchant leaves and begins pestering the adjacent tourists while we escape)
- "You buy postcard?"
- "No."
- "But I can count, one two three four five six etc..."
- "Ooh very good, no postcard though sorry."
(interaction ends, as we pass another pair of annoyed tourists being followed by an army of child merchants, ALL of whom are counting)
- "Yes I'll buy the two guidebooks, all I have is 1,000 Thai Baht bill though."
- "Okay you give me 1,000 baht I change for you and give you $1." (the exchange rate is $1 = 33B)- "Ehh hah don't think so."
- "Haha you smart tourist."
And the best of them:
10yr old Kid: "Okay you park bike for free here if you buyone water from me, $1."
Jeff: "Alright, see you on our way back."
Kid: "Okay thank!"
(we spend an hour in the temple & return)
Jeff: "Okay here's your $1 for the water."
Kid: "No you promised $2!"
Jeff: "No, I promised $1..."
(kid becomes VERY angry)
Kid: "Why you change your mind so fast? You liar. F#CK
YOU! F#CK YOU! I not let you park bike here again!"
Jeff: "You be nicer to older people..."
Kid: "YOU A F#CKING MAN! YOU KNOW! F#CK YOU!"
Oh, those merchant kids...
Following Angkor & slightly getting lost on the bike ride back, we wandered around town for a bit poking through markets and spying for a cheap place to eat. In the market we both decided to get shirts. Bargaining was no different than in Nepal or the other SE Asian countries, except that this one uses the US dollar as its unofficial main currency... so instead of trying to bargain them down 30 baht (for example), which is equal to $1, you're actually using the words "Two dollars is too expensive, I can only pay one dollar." Now, in this part of the world, that's a lot of money (enough for a budget restaurant meal), but it was the first time I really felt how arbitrary the bargaining was. It's necessary though because A: wallet is broken & B: if $1 is the normal price, paying $2 contributes to worse local inflation. You're expected to be courteous and not haggle them down to the last cent, but even if it's only a $1 rip-off, it's irresponsible tourism to allow yourself to be ripped off by one meals worth of local currency. Or so Lonely Planet, the word of the Lord blessed be it sayth. Makes sense to me, though it's going to be hard accepting a $30 bill for one grocery run when I get back to the US. Also, sidenote-ish: According to the merchant, Cambodians hate Thais & Chinese and don't get along well with Vietnamese. Laos, Cambodia's equally impoverished, sparsely populated northern friend has similar feelings and has bonded with Cambodia over their mutual trouble with more powerful bullying neighbors.
Swimming pool time ended the night, and it was off to Battambang on a Mekong ferry tomorrow.
---Vital Signs---
Food Poisonings = Zero
Malaria Vaccine = 50% complete
Green Tea Milkshakes = 3
Bug Bites = Less than expected
Bug Repellent = Almost gone in Siem Reap, totally gone at the time of writing
Bugs = Less mosquitoes than I thought there would be, Nepal probably boosted my mosquito tolerance
Burritos Craved = Many
Homesickness Meter = Reduced since Jeff's arrival but yeah... a burrito would be nice.early bedtime was necessary.

Rapids add veteran defender, fall in Hawaiian exhibition
Posted By Chuck Murphy On February 24, 2012 @ 10:32 am In Colorado Rapids | No Comments
It was a busy night Thursday for the Rapids as they continued their preseason training in Hawaii.
First, the club added 31-year-old Colombian defender Luis Zapata, who had been traveling as a tryout, but impressed enough for the Rapids to accelerate the timetable and offer him a contract.
"From the first day I arrived I was welcomed by a group of players that made me feel at home," Zapata told the club's website, Coloradorapids.com. "When you find a group like this that gets along well, you gain confidence. It's been a great experience so far and think it will only get better each day."
Zapata has an solid resume, having played for Millonarios in Colombia and scoring a match-winning goal against Brazil's Sao Paolo in the South American club championship tournament in 2007. But after seven years there, he left in 2008 to sign with Colombia's Deportivo Pereira and has been something of a journeyman ever since. He most recently was with Deportivo Pasto, also in Colombia.
He'll have every chance to start at left defender for the Rapids, which have had real trouble lately finding stability at that position. The team had discussed waiting until after returning from Hawaii to make a decision on Zapata, but he clearly made an impression. They are still awaiting his international transfer certificate and work visa, but Rapids president Tim Hinchey Tweeted the signing Thursday evening and the club has posted the news at coloradorapids.com
On the field, the Rapids lost to Japan's Yokohama F.C. 2-1 in the first game of the Hawaiian Islands Invitational. Drew Moor scored the Rapids lone goal after they fell behind 0-2 in the second half.
They play Australia's Melbourne Heart F.C.'s developmental league team Saturday night at 8 p.m. our time. The game will be shown on the internet at ESPN3.com.

"Titty fight!" DJ Diaz encourages. Then he instructs the contestants, "Show us your monkey!"
Nyssa has become self-conscious and is barely dancing. She does not smile. In fact, her face is completely blank until Ross saunters behind her and rips her T-shirt down, exposing her nipples. Nyssa's eyes pop out, and she grabs at her shirt, desperate to conceal her chest. She is abruptly booed offstage. Contestant two has some mediocre moves, but really there is no contest here. Ross handily outboobies two girls half her age. For the remainder of the cruise, enchanted Ultimate Partiers follow her everywhere.
To celebrate her win, Ross and boyfriend Kevin head over to the body-shots demonstration.
Heather has been taking body shots with a bodybuilder she met on the first night of the cruise when Ross and Kevin approach. Heather gets up, and Ross lies down. But Heather decides she isn't finished. The two women, covered in whipped cream, begin taking body shots and licking the whipped cream off each other.
"She was really young and really cute, and we went to second base, and it was really cool," Ross says afterward. But Heather's blond friend, who is supposed to watch out for her, apparently doesn't like the direction things are headed. She scowls in Ross' direction.
"Don't worry about me," Ross tells her.
"I'm not worried about some 50-year-old bitch," the blond counters.
"First of all, I'm not 50," Ross says calmly. Then she snaps Heather's bikini. Before Ross can see what's coming, the blond girl punches her just above her right eye.
"She was jealous because we were getting the crowd going," Ross says afterward, sporting a bruise. "It was her turn next, and she didn't know what she was going to do to top that."
Kevin isn't amused. He yanks Ross' arm, then storms off. When the two finally reunite a few hours later, Kevin pretends nothing happened, but the miffed Ross decides to ditch him. That's when Robert, a young party cruiser originally from Nicaragua, begins following her everywhere.
"He has been so sweet," she says of the 20-year-old. "Like, he's totally up my butt. And he's not the only one. The guy hosting the Climax show — Freddy. He's up my ass too. Freddy is like, 'You don't understand. You have the hottest body. You are smoking.' I was like, 'I have a child your age,' and he was like, 'I don't care. You need to know. Oh my God, you are so hot.' "
The desperate boys following Ross around — they're amusing to her. And they don't have a snowball's chance. Like the rest of the women on the party cruise, Ross has a look-but-don't-touch policy. It's something she picked up as a stripper. She worked in 42 clubs in Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Washington D.C., she says. When the champagne room became the rage, Ross became a house painter.
"These guys want lap dancing, they want coochie grinding, they want blowjobs in the back. Oh my God. I don't do that stuff," she says. "I like to perform. I'm a very sexy dancer. I know how to perform on stage and off stage, but nobody better ever touch me or I'll break their freakin' arm off, OK?"
On the final night of the cruise, Volinsky stands guard in front of the Grand Lounge in a Hugh Hefner-esque black bathrobe, admitting women only if they have complied with his dress code.
Lingerie/pajamas only.
A promising idea but one that not too many of the girls seem comfortable with. To get in to the party, though, they oblige. After all, this party is serious.
The guys are clad in pajama pants or boxers and T-shirts, some with adorable slogans like "Don't worry, I pull out."
At the start of the evening, a middle-school dance aura predominates. Guys stand silently near the dance floor. Girls go to great lengths to isolate themselves. "I can't believe I'm wearing this," says a tall blond in a yellow lacy bra, thong, and fishnets. She's folded into a corner, unsuccessfully trying to hide behind skinny friends. Another voluptuous, thong-clad partier refuses to stand up from her barstool. But drinks are flowing, and more people in lingerie arrive. Barely clothed girls wander into the open. Arms are grabbed and bodies dragged to the dance floor, which turns into a pelvis-grinding station.
Heather floats in wearing Hot Topic black and hot-pink boy shorts and a hot-pink, sequin-covered Victoria's Secret bra. She's fucked up, having polished off a seventh bar of Xanax and enough liquor to intoxicate a small army, she tells New Times. Xanax — a tranquilizer and prescription drug for anxiety — allows Heather to feel exponentially drunker on the same amount of alcohol, without the vomiting, she explains.
Heather is the dark princess of the cruise. In her own words, a spoiled little bitch. Her anything-goes attitude and tiny, hipless frame have guys reaching for their wallets as often as she says "Hello." She's driving them wild. Maybe too wild. What she later refers to as "the bad thing" is about to happen.

Crisante points to a grate in the street outside her bedroom window and says the sewer was always overflowing. "If it rained, or certain times of the year, it would just flow over, and this whole road would be nothing but sewer water. And then it would roll into our driveway.
"I like my windows open in the wintertime, when it's cool. Save on the electric bill. Get some fresh air in the house. You know? And we couldn't keep the windows open because the damned smell was so bad."
It smelled, and looked, she says, like an overflowing, crap-filled toilet.
"Ferncrest would send a guy over in a golf cart with a big five-gallon pail and put this stuff that smells like some type of chlorine. Very strong. And just powder it all around it. And tell you 'Don't step in it. Don't get in it.' The kids don't even know what it is. They ride through it. Step through it. Whatever. Barefooted or not, it don't matter."
Crisante moved into Palma Nova with her parents 26 years ago. When the folks passed away, she inherited the three-bedroom trailer. Now, her brother, his girlfriend, and their three children live there too. It's tough for the extended family to make ends meet, even though all three adults work. "That there is my life savings," Crisante says dryly, pointing to a five-gallon plastic jug full of coins.
The Crisantes go through ten gallons of bottled water every two days. Even the dog, a 9-year-old boxer named Chance, gets bottled water. They still use water from the tap, though, to cook, bathe, and brush their teeth. Toni has irritable bowel syndrome. Her brother's 37-year-old girlfriend, Alicia Smith, was recently hospitalized for seizures and migraines. Smith's 13-year-old son, Peirson, has colitis, a painful gastrointestinal ailment. "Hopefully, the things we've got won't become serious," Crisante says. "But you never know."
Neighbors up and down the street tick off mystery ailments — chronic bacterial infections, hair falling out, strange lumps — that they blame on the water. Even so, many residents are considering signing, or have already signed, paperwork releasing the Formans from any liability. The paperwork, they believe, is an unavoidable part of the moving process.
Toni Crisante, as well as her next-door neighbor, Nancy Hernandez, signed. Hernandez has lived in the park for seven years; a year ago, Hernandez says she spent five days in the hospital with severe stomach pain. She can't remember the name of the bacteria that caused the pain. "The doctor told me I'm going to have this bacteria for life. The bacteria will go to sleep, like la bella durmiente" — or Sleeping Beauty. Soon enough, she explains, the bacteria will wake up.
A few houses away, on the same street, 30-year-old Abigail Cruz worries about the health of her two sons. Her 9-year-old, William, has a lump under one of his breasts; a doctor recommended blood work. And a year ago, 3-year-old Joshua was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection. The doctor told Abigail that it was unusual for a boy Joshua's age to get that sort of infection.
"We had his kidneys tested — everything was fine. Then a bladder test. They put a liquid into his bladder through the urethra. For me, as a mother, to watch that, it was horrible."
Joshua still complains that it hurts when he pees, but Abigail is reluctant to put him through more painful tests. As his mother talks, the little boy wanders into the living room in Batman undies. The Cruz trailer is bright and airy inside. A ceiling fan with blades in the shape of palm fronds whirs above a plush white couch, white tile, and a decorative white mantle. The Cruz family has lived in Palma Nova for seven years. They know not to drink the water from their tap, but they too still cook and bathe with it.
Cruz didn't connect the dots between Joshua's urinary pains and the water until she listened to Caroll Payan's story at the Davie Town Hall. Now Joshua, who loves to play in a full bathtub, gets showers. "Even when I bathe with it," Cruz says, "I'm thinking, 'Oh my God, am I bathing in feces?' "
The Cruz family is searching for an apartment to rent. They agreed to sell their trailer, at a $13,000 loss, to a family in Palma Nova whose own home is too old to move. This way, the Cruz family can avoid signing the settlement document that Palma Nova requires for homes to be transported out of the park. The settlement paper states that neither current residents nor their descendants will ever sue the owners of Palma Nova for anything related to their time living in the park.
In addition to the money the Formans are offering to those who sign the settlement document, the Florida Mobile Home Relocation Corporation, which helps displaced trailer park residents, is giving money to Palma Nova homeowners. They'll get $3,000 for a single and $6,000 for a doublewide. If they choose to abandon a trailer, the relocation corporation will give them $1,375 for a single and $2,750 for anything larger.

Was talking to my friends about why I thought many jersey beachbreaks get hollow more often than many new england beachbreaks but started to stumble halfway through my explanation...whats the real reasons it barrels at 3 ft as opposed to some breaks in N.E.?
p.s. i'm sure theres a thread for this so...screw it
p.p.s. could just be a deal vs gansett thing bc there are obv places like cape cod that create mutant heavers

3 Meh, not good not bad. Worth the rent, only a rent.Posted: 26/01/2010Well, i have played Halo 3 and this just does not feel as though it is in any way lined to Master Chiefs adventures. The story is not only very short, it is also very boring. *SPOILER ALERT* Look for fellow ODST, find the clue, play through next section of searching, then fly out in a Phantom. Dull. The open world style and finding the audio clips gives the game a good edge but does not detract from the short stroy. The graphics are below the current gen but the game engine it runs on is a few years old so could be forgiven, but i felt dissapointed by them still. With the additional DLC disk, it feels asif loyal downloaders of it originally have been given a kick in the teeth. Offering it for free when people have been snapping it up off XBL. This game is a good little time filler between your bigger and better games but dont be expecting anything startling here; under par short story and some dodgy graphics let this hyped game down.
Samsung B3210 Genio Qwerty Orange Pay As You Go Mobile Phone (Includes Free £10 Airtime Voucher) Mobile
5 Great little phonePosted: 21/12/2009Bought this phone as a replacement for my 5800 when it broke, and i must say its a cracking little phone. For under 100 quid its light without comprimising the quality and the qwerty keypad works well and matches the blackberrys styling and capability. Menu navigation is a doddle and everything looks nice and clear on screen with plenty of customisation to be had. Alll in all i would strongly recommend this phone if you have smaller fingers to cope with the keypad and cant afford a blackberry although i do not know about its online capabilities. There are links for Facebook etc in the menu so it can be used for online socialising too.
4 Fallout 3's biggest little brotherPosted: 02/11/2009Of course its immediately obvoius that this game is very similar to fallout 3. But surely this is no bad thing. Do most of us not love both Rock Band and Guitar Hero with both being very similar? Exactly. The developers said this was not cell shaded and it really isnt despite popular misconception. All of this has been drawn from the bottom up and looks superb. There's a great colour pallette on offer too and not just dull browns or greys. One of the key selling points here is obviously the array of guns that can be utilised which is ture, there are loads on offer. Gaining xp also works well with more gained with a head shot unlike fallout. Driving is good but the old 'halo' style driving mechanic is emplolyed which could be better wtih proper driving controls. As far as the story goes there isnt one apart from trying to get to 'The Vault' (imaginately named with assistance from fallout) which may contain alien technology (fallout...again) and you trawl through the wastes (yep you guessed it). Theres many enemies too but somewhat too many skaggs as they are everywhere but psycho raiders (hmmm fallout im thinking) are the main ones. But nobody can resist the joy that can be found in killing the psycho midgets that run around and prove ample target practice. All in all it is addictive fun with a variety of guns, great alternative graphicsa nd plenty of missions to complete which will take you hours. However, the comparisons of fallout cannot be ignored but dont let this put you off as its a cracking game in its own right: 8 1/2 out of 10.
4 Before you slate this game and rate it badly....Posted: 21/09/2009The handling on this game was botched by EA before release date, therefore the handling is not the standard that it was supposed to be. Therefore the settings must be altered in order to compensate for this in the options menu then gameplay and settings. These are the settings that i use:Steering deadzone 30%Acceleration/brake deadzone 2%Steering sensitivity 0% (yes this does work but can be altered to your taste)Acceleration/brake sensitivity 45%Speed steering sensitivity 100%.I know this shouldnt have to be done on a retail game but it does in this case so minus one star for me. Also, no matter how much tweaking you do on this; the drifting in this game is still appaling and broken in every aspect. However, these little bugs out of the way, the rest of the game is brilliant. The graphics are brilliant and the cars look fantastic as do the tracks and the environment. As expected from a NFS title, theres plenty of custominsation to be done on the cars. The game overall is very solid with great sound from the cars and plenty of tracks to race round. Hopefully EA will fix the controls and the drifting races with a patch soon, when this is done then the game will recieve 5 stars from me.
5 Great piece of kit, great sound and quick setupPosted: 07/09/2009This is very good value for money, very good sound quality and easy setup. They look fantastic on either side of my tv with my ps3 and make gaming so much better, you can hear which direction the bullets are coming from!! I must say though these shine best when listening to Blu-ray films and gives you the proper movie experience in your home. One little thing i have with this is that the remote intereferes with my TV's settings. Although this may be only mine or maybe all Samsung Tv's. Although this does not drag down the rating as it is such a minor flaw, that it does not affect the real reason these are made; the amazing sound quality!!!!!!!!!
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (Platinum) PlayStation3 2 New from £17.96 Free delivery Available used from £6.28
5 One of the best the PS3 has to offerPosted: 30/08/2009This game is fantastic! This is more or less gaming perfection at its best. The graphics are amazing, the music score is perfect and suits the game very well. The cover system works very well and there are plenty of gun fights and set pieces to be experienced here. The game can be very puzzling (as well as frustrating at times) which means there is plenty of time to be poured into this game, well worth the money paid for this. What ever the price!
5 Great game with amazing graphicsPosted: 30/08/2009First of all let me say the graphics on this game are the best i have ever seen, they are truly spectacular! The single player campaign holds many hours of play and replay value with intel to be found and plenty of trophies to be earned. The multiplayer is good and holds its own amongst the other good online games (COD 4 etc) the graphics are also great online. All in all, a fantastic solo experience with plenty of online mischief and fun to be had. Definatley one of the best the PS3 has to offer
3 WOW what a let downPosted: 24/08/2009This game should have been brilliant considering its huge success in the past and the nostalgia it has. The graphics are ok, nothing great but better than average. The gameplay is veerrryy repetitive and going through the midtown section holds no interest what so ever. Every time you do so, nazis willm be round the same corner, doing the exact same thing and then shoot you in a very un-AI way. I dont even feel inclined to discuss the online play, its blighted by so much lag that it is unplayable and the graphics for online are rubbish. All in all only buy if you want the nostalgic value this brand carries but if you are new to the series i would save your money and buy some of the far superior games that are upcoming in the next few weeks/months.
Sony PS3 DualShock 3 Wireless Controller - Black PlayStation3 5 New from £42.98 Free delivery Available used from £29.99
5 Great bit of kitPosted: 17/08/2009This controller is fabulous and has some cracking features. Due to the bluetooth connectivity, it has a great range on it. I have managed to use it from one side of the house to another, huge compared to that of my xbox!! The sixaxis is also included well into some games suge as little big planet, only thing is because of this is the high price for the damn thing. All in all thoug it is worth every penny.
5 Plenty of longevity to be found herePosted: 17/08/2009This game has a VERY long life to it. Ive already poured 4/5 hours into it and am still exploring the first sector of the game and seeking hidden items and completing side missions, of and just tooling around free-roaming, killing the reapers and healing the injured pedestrians. The graphics are great, although the lip-synching for speech is a bit off but that is a minor flaw. The gameplay is good with a vast amount of moves to be beefed up and mastered with plenty of space and depth available. Overall a good game and worth adding to your collection.

Event Details
Mr. Smalls Theatre will be hosting a "Creative.Life.Support Revival Series" Showcase at 7pm on Friday June 6th, 2014 featuring a special reunion of Crisis Car, Drowning Clowns, Morgan Erina, The Wreckids, Korel Tunador, and Phat Man Dee. The Creative.Life.Support Revival Series is a revolutionary model of local showcases where admission is free for over 21 ($2 for under 21). Each band will be distributing free tickets and are paid according to how many of their tickets are redeemed at the door. A tip jar also goes around between sets, earning the bands some extra cash.
Crisis Car was a staple of the Pittsburgh music scene in the early 00's, earning them a strong fan base, consistent radio play and an opening support slot on the Summer 2000 tour of The Who. Following their success, the group separated to tackle new opportunities with members going on to join the touring bands of national acts The Goo Goo Dolls and Katy Perry as well as forming the self-proclaimed "psychedelic rock orchestra" the Drowning Clowns. The members of Crisis Car are refueled and are converging for this special reunion event – don't let this extraordinary revival speed on by. This is one show not to be missed!
