But I've worn it out around my house. In fact I'm about to email you two recipes I think you'll love you could add to this list if you like. And now I look forward to making the grilled pork chops, slow cooker chops, chicken Parmesan, and chili Mac this coming week. Can't wait!

Oh come on really? You should know that correlation is not the same as cause and effect. Anyone who seriously studies this issue says looser gun laws have little to no influence in decreasing crime rates. US crime rate is down: six key reasons Answer me this, we already have the most guns per capita of any country, if gun ownership decreases crime, why don't we already have the lowest crime rates in the world?

In answer to the above since I'm on my phone, because education is in the !!!!ter, that's why, most of our problems fall back on the failure if our educational system.

It's too bad gibb52's post didn't get more attention. I copied it and posted it on my FB page.
On a side note reading the interaction in this thread is saddening. I won't say which side of the argument I am on but will say everyone should re read Gibbs post and re read it again. Then do something. Go home and find a way to make your community safer and more of a community. And not by banning OR adding guns. Find a way to meet your neighbor or make a local school safer. Make sure to go to a school and find out what they are doing to make the school safer and see how you can help, even if it is monetarily. If donating to schools, especially to make it safer, isn't a tax write off then push your local officials to make it one. |

Therefore, those of you that would use crime as a reason to increase controls on guns have some explaining to do. Surely if legal gun access leads to more crime we should have seen an explosion in gun violence in the past 20 years as we relaxed the laws. The simple fact is that we did not. Therefore there is no reason to think that increasing the difficulty in finding guns legally will decrease the amount of gun violence we face. It is simply illogical. You don't make the world safer by banning things be they guns or drugs or alcohol. All you do is create criminals and give them a source of revenue. There has been a world wide ban on drugs for 50 years. Yet they are ubiquitous and a teenager can get them without a license or any trouble. Why would anyone think that making guns more restrictive would in any way decrease the amount of guns in the hands of criminals? __________________ No nation can preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare. -- James Madison |

Many advances in technology bring blessings as well as curses. With the information age IMO we have become a nation of people living alone together. Years ago kids played outside almost every day after school and all summer. Why? There wasn't anything else to do. Your mom kicked your butt outside, and you played. And you learned how to get along with other kids, and certainly how not to get along with some. You acquired conflict resolution skills. Your mom and dad knew their neighbors, because they were outside as well. Talking, visiting, being involved. Now? We are on the internet as I am now. Our kids play video games ceaselessly, where you can kill 240 people without getting a scratch on you, BTW. Why visit with your neighbor when you can visit with your friends on Facebook? Isn't Twitter and Skype more interesting than the old lady across the street? We moved a few years ago. When we arrived at our new neighborhood of younger couples I was struck by the isolated nature of my new surroundings. People came home from work, pulled into the garage, the door came down and we didn't see them again until they left for work the next morning. When we did talk to the couple next door I was taken aback by some of the things they said. They didn't know their neighbors. They had lived across the street from somebody for several years and didn't even know their names. How odd to me. The dual income family has brought a new standard of living to our nation. At a cost. Day care. More separation and isolation. Mom gets home from work, cooks supper, does some laundry, cleans house, helps with homework, etc. When does she have time to know what's going on outside the door? Mom's used to be the lines of communication in the neighborhood. If you smarted off to Mrs. Smith or punched Jimmy Walker your mom knew about it before you got home. We were connected that way. Now we are not. Kids today have a degree of privacy and independence unheard of just a few years ago. Smart phones bring the internet and levels of communication that most of them aren't ready for. Parents who won't let their 11 yr old kid out of their sight will give them an iphone without hesitation, the modern equivalent of driving them to another state and dropping them off in a crowd of total strangers. So what's my point? We need to connect. Or re-connect I guess. Know your neighborhood. Be involved in your community. A neighbor with a problem child might be more motivated to get some help if they have the comfort and support of their community. One more thing. Be a mentor to kids. In any way that you can. Coach a ball team? Good. Youth group at church? Scouts? How about going outside with your kid and getting a neighborhood kickball game going? That odd kid down the street might play and have some fun, might feel better about himself/herself when the day is done. A man never stands so tall as when he stoops to help a child. That's my 2 cents worth for the day. Well said! |

when Obama listed the mass shootings, why didnt he include the Fort Hood shootings? could it be because it doesnt fit the typical makeup of a mass shooting?
since rather than a young white male, it was a muslim. and instead of innocent shoppers or innocent children, the victims were innocent American soldiers? |

Sorry but how do I post pics. When I click on image button it does not give me the option to attach an image
You need to go to an outside source such as PhotoBucket. Once you load a pic on their sight you just RIGHT CLICK on the URL for the pic - COPY then come to this sight then RIGHT CLICK - PASTE.
Nice car but wow do those pictures need to be resized.
In photobucket there is a feature which allows you to make your uploaded pictures smaller. Just make sure to NOT make them to small or you will have to delete and upload the pictures again as you can not enlargen them again. [IMG]http://**********************/smile/emthup.gif[/IMG]
Another way to resize them (at least on my computer) is to right click on your picture when it is on your computer desk top and choose resize. I always select the SMALL then I use that to download to Photobucket.com.
Great pictures though. Nice try.

And I forgot mention one more thing.
These clamping currents may not come from PN junctions. They
could be channel currents which may or may not be intentional.
I had cases when the designer was only thinking about voltages
inside the power rails, and when I started simulate with his
buffer and the voltages went outside the rails, some transistors
got turned on/off in some of the flip flops resulting in
unexpected LOGIC behavior!

low quality of the SPICE model itself. Contrary to popular belief,
SPICE models can also be bad.
ALSO, contrary to popular thinking among process and/or chip
designers, the voltages on the pins/pads of the buffers WILL
go outside the supply rails more often than you would want to.
I had numerous situations in my experience when I was told that
those cases don't have to be characterized for normal operation
because they are not supposed to happen. This is partially the
reason why we see SPICE models with such clamping currents.
The bad news is that it DOES happen, and the response of the
system DOES depend on how the devices clamp these currents, so
we DO NEED to model these things accurately.
Of course, in carefully designed (parallel terminated) systems
this may not occur at such large amplitudes. Also, at very low
voltage swing signaling even a full over/undershoot may not be
large enough to forward bias these clamps, so this problem may
manifest itself in different colors in the not so distant future.

Also, curve values should be reasonable. A clamp diode doesn't pass

cause me to doubt the integrity of the whole file.

Kentucky State University Recieves Walmart Grant
By Katheran Wasson, Frankfort State Journal
Kentucky State University is well under way with a $100,000 grant to help first-generation college students succeed in school. KSU is one 18 schools sharing a $3 million grant from the Walmart Foundation awarded in February through the Alliance for Equity in Higher Education. Recipients are halfway through a two-year search for ways to keep low-income, minority and first-generation college students in school until graduation day.

Researchers have adapted the papanicolaou (Pap) smear test currently used to detect cervical cancer so that it can be used to screen women for endometrial and ovarian cancers.
"Our results demonstrate that mutant DNA molecules from most endometrial cancers and some ovarian cancers can be found in routinely collected Pap specimens," say Bert Vogelstein (Ludwig Center for Cancer Therapeutics, Baltimore, Maryland, USA) and colleagues. "These findings, in conjunction with technical advances allowing the reliable detection of mutations present in only a very small fraction of DNA templates, are the foundation of the PapGene test."
Currently proposed approaches for the early detection of endometrial and ovarian cancer such as transvaginal ultrasound and cytology have lacked specificity, failing to distinguish cancerous tissue from benign lesions or endometriosis, for example.
In their study, Vogelstein and team explored the possibility that somatic mutations characteristic of endometrial and ovarian cancers could be found in the DNA purified from liquid-based Pap smears. They reason: "Unlike cytologically abnormal cells, such oncogenic DNA mutations are specific clonal markers of neoplasia that should be absent in non-neoplastic cells."
The researchers acquired tumors from 46 cancer patients (24 endometrial cancer, 22 ovarian cancer) for whom Pap smear test specimens were available. Using whole-exome sequencing, the team assembled a panel of genes that are frequently mutated in the most common subtypes of the cancers and used this panel to search for mutations in the tumors.
Mutations were identified in all 46 samples, Vogelstein et al report in Science Translational Medicine.
The researchers then assessed the patients' Pap smear specimens and found that, for each of the 24 women with endometrial cancer, the same mutation was present in their Pap specimen as in their tumor sample. Among the 22 patients with ovarian cancer, the same mutation was found across the two specimen types in nine (41%) of 22 individuals.
However, "in a screening setting, the presence and genotype of tumors would obviously not be known before evaluation," note the researchers, who went on to design a prototype test that could amplify DNA segments from the mutated genes most commonly found in endometrial and ovarian cancers.
The team applied this test to the Pap specimens from 14 cancer patients (12 endometrial and two ovarian) as well as specimens from 14 healthy controls. The expected mutation was identified in all 14 of the cancer specimens, whereas no mutations were detected in the control specimens.
"PapGene testing has the capacity to increase the use of conventional cytology screening through the unambiguous detection of DNA from endometrial and ovarian carcinomas, and lays the foundation for a new generation of screening tests," conclude Vogelstein et al.

I've always received only 10 min Accent XL treatment on my buttocks area, and also my interval is 3 weeks long. The technician said that she gives me the FULL length treatment but I checked the clock every time then I saw my total treatment time was always 20 min for both buttocks area. I have received 8 times treatments already , but I don't SEE any result YET. I feel like I have never got FULL treatment from them. so, Should I keep going to the same salon, or I should just quit?
Is a 10 Minute Accent XL Laser Treatment Enough to Tighten my Buttocks?
Doctor Answers 2
Web reference: http://drpelias.com/non-surgical/laser-treatments/v-shape-laser
Accent treaments can tighten or firm the skin. The results are technique dependent. The amount of time it takes to do a treament depends on the size and the amount of fat of the area being treated. The final target is a certain degree that the skin is heated up to. So, some patients will reach the target temperature faster than others. Therefore the treaments times will vary. We usually allow 1 hour per treatment area.

Good to see Big Ed get some love from the NBA press machine. T Dot can use all the positive exposure we can get right now
He is a lottery pick from an elite basketball program, ESPN loves UNC, and he has NBA pedigree. He is also playing pretty good so far since being activated. However in my opinion if he was not a lottery pick and from an elite basketball program that ESPN loves and didn't have NBA pedigree ESPN wouldn't give him a second thought at this point given his overall performance through 41 games. See below for grade.
Moral of he story: If you want favorable commentary from ESPN about a NBA rookie that is only playing average make a PC lottery pick.
My grades so far for Davis
At the Rim ------------------------------A
In the Paint other than at the RIM-----C
Free Throw Shooting-------------------D
Shooting other than at the RIM--------D
Overall Offense------------------------C+
At the RIM----------------------------------------A-
In the Paint Other Than At The RIM-------------B+
Rebounding---------------------------------------C+ For a big. He is 48th in Def Rebounds per 36 Min - Johnson is worse at 62nd
Team Defense------------B
Overall Defense----------B
Games Missed Due To Injury--------------D
Overall - C
Overall a C? Hmm..
Two things hurt him.
1. He has missed a high percentage of games so far. It doesn't matter how good a player is if they can't play but are getting paid they are not helping their team but in fact are hurting their team. The fact that he missed all of those games goes against him.
2. His shooting from other than at the rim has sucked
That is why I give him an overall of a "C"
Wait, so let me get this straight Buddah... You're saying that if Davis wasn't as good in highschool, thus leading him to a shittier college, and thus not being as good as he is now, then they wouldn't be talking about him and saying how good he is? Hrmm... ya that almost makes TOO MUCH sense. Great observation.
If Kobe Bryant wasn't as good as he is then people wouldn't say he's the best in the game.
I can make general, obvious, sweeping statements as well.
1. Kobe's father played in the NBA
2. Kobe plays for one of the elite franchises in the league
3. Comparing Davis to Kobe is insane
4. How many rookes from Div II colleges or some mediocre Division I program that are not lottery picks and don't have pedigree that are averaging 6 and 6 in 20 something games gets this kind of write up. Name me one. Go ahead.
Interesting argument. If a player is injured they are "hurting" their team. Does that apply to the oft-injured Amir as well?
I think if you took a snapshot of Big Ed's progression, factoring in minutes played per game since his return from injury, i would say he is at a B-/B at this point. He is only getting better and better. He has the right tough guy attitude, pack on another 20 lbs he can be a dominant low post defender
They have to have missed games to count as missed games.
All players play injured, most of the time the public is not told about it.
Davis can't shoot and is a below average defensive rebounder based upon rebounds per 36 minutes. He is currently only 48th in the NBA in defensive rebounds per 36 minutes and that is with most of his time playing with Bargnani.
The fact is that Johnson has never shown himself either to be an average or above average defensive rebounder. The Raptors currently have no rotation player that is more than average in defensive rebounding.
Davis shooting except at the rim so far sucks. Right now on offense he looks like a more athletic Reggie Evans. Shooting 55% from the foul line is not going to cut it.
Evans has also oft been injured and missed games over his career. Davis has missed a high percentage of possible games over the last 12 months due to two significant injuries. So to me at this point I would compare Davis to Evans.
At this point in his career he plays like a slightly upgraded Reggie Evans
Those that love Reggie's game will love Davis game.
Let me make it clear.
I am rooting for Davis to succeed not miss games due to injury and learn how to shoot from beyond nine feet.
I don't see him as a threat to Johnson.
The minutes will work out as they work out.
Johnson has been given adequate coaching and a fair chance to show what he can do. If Triano sends him back to the bench like a lot of Raptors writers/bloggers and fans expect then so be it. It won't be because he never had a fair chance to show what he could do as a starter.
If Johnson's career turns out as good as Lamar Odom's I will be more than happy about it.:D:D
1. What does Jelly Bean Bryant have to do with this? I'm aware his dad played NBA ball. Thats not why everyone thinks he's amazing, or why he gets all the pub that he does.
2. I am aware he plays for the Lakers. Again, not sure what your point is. He's not the type of player he is, because of LA...
3. How have I compared Kobe and Ed Davis? Pretty sure I didn't. What actually happened, was I made a ridiculous, sweeping statement that is so obvious on the surface and in substance, so as to show you how silly your comment about Davis was.
4. And if you read what has been said about Davis on the Rookie Ladder for MANY weeks now, you will see that not only are the Rookies behind him not that great, but the Ladder makes its very clear that his consistency is not what he up there for. Its for the numbers he puts up within that 20mins of PT, and because he is doing what many Rookies WISH to be doing, while having played in far less games and while having far less in-game experience.
I think a 'B', maaybe a 'B-' is probably more fair; all things considered.
But a difference of opinion is nothing new 'round these parts. :)
If he had played in all 41 games I would give him a B- also but I ding him for not being able to play because of the injury.
Davis is only averaging 11 points per 36 minutes in only 24 games for half a NBA season.
Of all the players in the league who have played over 500 minutes he is 198th out of 202 in points per 36 minutes. That is not very good
The garbageman is at 153rd out of 202.
I would hope that Davis can eventually average more points per 36 minutes than the garbageman
gary neal, one spot ahead of him. went to towson, who are dead last in the colonial. not exactly UNC pedigree. albeit he's averaging 9 and 3 in 19 minutes rather than 6 and 6 in 20, but whatever. he bounced around europe for three years too, so he is the epitome of not hyped/not 'ESPN Pedigree'/whatever your point is (but he is also 5th in ESPN's rookie rankings on their awards watch fwiw)
also your original post is an incoherent rant about ESPN and I just can't figure out what the hell that has to do with NBA.com, which is the source multipaul linked to.
If scoring points were something the Raptors struggled to do, then yes, I would see that as a big problem.
But do you think Jay is telling Ed to go out there and get 20 points a game? No. I bet Jay has never even mentioned the Offensive side to him. Whatever points he gets is a bonus.
Its his defense and positioning that make him a special player and NBA.com has recognized that.
And how does a guy being injured HURT his overall grade for the year? If anything it should help, knowing that he has far less in-game experience than ANY other rookie on the board, and is still contributing at a higher level.
Good stuff. Davis' worst case is an above average role player. I think he has the talent to one day be an all-star.
Speaking of future all-stars, Paul George is going to be a beast. That kid is high on the talent meter.
You can write all of reviews of Ed Davis as you want, but the fact is, we haven't even seen the kid play half the season yet due to early injuries, so how deep can you really dig into his play so far to give a grade as low as C? His offence, yes, still very raw and needs some work, but offence is not what the raptors are in need of - it is obviously D, and as soon as he steps on the floor, his presence on D is felt, and Appolo, I hope you're right about future all-star for Davis, because that would be a huge help to the Raps
I think he can be an All Star too. it is a BIG shame he got that injury and surgery in the summer. I would loved to have seen him come out gangbusters from the get go. Who knows how much the surgery has impeded his development as well.
Gary Neal is not averaging only 6 ppg in just 24 games.
He is averaging 9 ppg over 41 games and playing for what could be the best team in the NBA with at least one HOF player and a HOF coach. So even though he doesn't come from an elite college he plays for an elite NBA team and gets plenty of national TV exposure.
I guess I should have said elite college or elite NBA team that gives the player a lot of national TV exposure.
Agreed on Paul George's talent level, I'm glad Indiana is finally starting to give him minutes.
So tell me you would give Oden an incomplete too?
I doubt that Blazers fans would give him an incomplete.
It is what it is at this point. You can't wipe away missed games because of injury in evaluating a player. Injuries are part of the game. Players like D. Fisher, A. Miller who never or rarely miss games at add a lot of value to their teams because of it.
I am hopeful Davis plays in all the remaining 41 games.
As far as his shooting goes it too is pretty much what it is. He had a NBA father and a great college program to teach him how to shoot.
In my book the "raw" doesn't apply to Davis. Lack of actual NBA experience yes but "raw" no, not when you have his background. There should be no excuses for him not being at least an average shooter from beyond nine feet. He has had plenty of opportunity to learn from the right people and so far despite years of it has not shown that it has made him an acceptable shooter from more than nine feet.
Of course like I said he does not have NBA experience so his shooting should improve somewhat as he gets more of it, but raw no way.

The Syria Veto: Leaders Vent Frustration over Chinese and Russian 'Scandal'
At a prestigious annual foreign policy meeting in Munich this weekend, top diplomats, including Germany's Guido Westerwelle and Hillary Clinton, expressed scorn over moves by Beijing and Moscow to veto a UN resolution condemning violence in Syria. One top US senator accused China and Russia of being "on the wrong side of history."
Many of the world's most powerful people -- including heads of state, foreign and defense ministers, Nobel laureates and captains of industry -- had converged at Munich's Bayerischer Hof hotel at his invitation this weekend. On Sunday morning, though, Wolfgang Ischinger, chairman of the Munich Security Conference and a former German ambassador, looked a bit perplexed as he stood on the stage of the hotel's ballroom. "We were so close," he said. "We must go on."
High-ranking participants from around the world wrestled with sentences, haggled over formulations, but nothing came of those efforts, Ischinger announced as he took to the stage. Indeed, Russia and China delivered this weekend on their threat to block a United Nations resolution against the violence in Syria. Both countries applied their veto power in the UN Security Council and are continuing with their "nyet" strategy: "No" to sanctions against Syria, "no" to halting Russian weapons deliveries to Damascus and, in particular, "no" to any draft sanctions resolution that did not expressly rule out the deployment of foreign military force in the country.
In the end, the joint resolution drafted by the Arabs, Europeans and Americans failed, and the killing continued in Syria. In Homs, more than 400 people are believed to have been killed on Friday and Saturday, and far more than 1,000 people were injured. People on the ground reported that leader Bashar Assad's troops attacked a peaceful protest -- demonstrators who are demanding reforms in the country and for the president to step down.
Russia and China 'On the Wrong Side of History'
The resolution didn't even contain any sanctions. The text of the resolution had already been watered down before the vote in response to considerable pressure from Russia. Ultimately, Moscow still refused to support it -- making the tone of the conversations in Munich on Sunday even angrier.
Pointing to Russia and China, Yemeni Nobel Peace Price recipient Tawakkul Karman lamented: "In the name of the Arab youth, I condemn the position of these countries. They support the criminal regime of Bashar Assad." Kenneth Roth, the head of the human rights organization Human Rights Watch, added that the actions of Russia and China had made the Security Council "irrelevant." US Senator Joe Lieberman railed that the Chinese and the Russians were on the "wrong side of history" and had now isolated themselves in the international community, just as Assad himself had done.
Moscow doesn't seem particularly moved by the outrage over its veto. Irina Yarovaya, a member of the Russian parliament, the Duma, for Putin's United Russia Party, said the world should "thank Russia and China today for their balanced and peace-building mission." The Kremlin considers it a provocation that the West still went ahead with a vote on the Security Council despite Moscow's reservations. Officials there are holding the West indirectly responsible for the escalation. "Regrettably, the authors of the Syrian draft did not want to make additional efforts to reach a consensus," Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov posted on Twitter on Sunday.
Russia is firmly sticking to its support of Assad, who is considered to be Moscow's last remaining ally in the Middle East. Damascus purchases Russian rockets, Yak-130 fighter jets and it cooperates on a large scale with Russian energy companies.
Time Running Out
Beijing also continues to work together with the Assad regime. In Munich, Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister Zhang Zhijun was still on the stage on Saturday being respectfully wooed by those sitting on a panel with him. Previously, the limelight had been exclusively focused on Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. He insisted that "law in international relations" must be placed above everything else, and that if the United Nations condemned violence in Syria, then the actions of the Syrian opposition would also have to be condemned.
That was the dilemma this year at the Munich Security Conference, which is Germany's most respected and important foreign policy event. It is a place where even the supposed bad guys -- or rather, those who are currently considered to be the bad guys -- are also given a platform to speak. When it comes to laying the blame, though, Western diplomats offered clear assessments: With its brutal poker game, Russia had been responsible for a true scandal. Top diplomats said they felt as though the Russians had been "pulling their legs." And, for their part, officials at Germany's Foreign Ministry said they want to continue fighting for a Syria resolution at the UN.
However, it may take some time before that happens. After all, how can things progress in the region in a time when Europe is busy dealing with its debt crisis and the United States is showing little appetite for new adventures in the Middle East?
Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov is planning to travel together with the head of Russia's SVR foreign intelligence agency to Syria at the beginning of this week. But it remains unclear who they plan to meet with or what their mandate will be. Meanwhile, time is running out. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton offered a grim scenario if Assad remains in office: "More bloodshed, increasing resistance by those whose families are being killed and whose homes are being bombed, and a greater likelihood that Syria will descend into civil war."
During the foreign policy debates in Munich, a number of options could be heard. A breaking off of all diplomatic relations? The creation of an international contact group? Greater support for the Syrian opposition?
Behind the Scenes Wrangling
US Senator Lieberman said in Munich there was a whole range of measures the international community could take without direct intervention. He added, however, that a "special place in hell" was reserved for those who attempted to remain neutral in times of moral challenges. But he also stated that there are no easy answers.
Behind the scenes, the wrangling continues. According to the US magazine Foreign Policy, President Barack Obama's advisers are coming up with a secret plan to support the rebels. The White House is seeking to avoid another scenario in which it is accused of having ignored a democracy movement in the Middle East for too long, as proved to be the case in Egypt and, to a certain extent, in Libya. Foreign Policy writes that Obama's National Security Council is already attempting to coordinate support for the Syrian opposition, which could ultimately even include the establishment of a humanitarian corridor in Syria.
In addition, the potential diplomatic effects of any intervention in Syria could be massive -- far greater than in Libya, as the spectacular veto by the Chinese and Russians makes clear.
Thus, further delaying on the part of the West can't be ruled out, despite the disastrous message sent out by the failed UN resolution. "It's quite clear -- this is a license to do more of the same and worse," Peter Harling, an expert on Syria at the International Crisis Group, told the New York Times.

A tour operator here did a Trans-Africa eastern route (in just 2 months) a few years ago. Out of 8 bikes, 7 were 800/1200GS's and one guy was on a Honda XL700. That was the only bike with zero issues on the whole trip, the rest were being fixed here and there, and sometimes transported on pick-ups to get somewhere to be fixed. They only had a few days off from riding on the whole trip, and soon found out, that those were proper rest days only for the Honda pilot, and the rest were always trying to fix something.
That said, the tour leader still rides an 800GS, made a similar trip with it to the Stans last year, and thinks it's much more fun and more rideable on the dirt, than an XL700 (and I agree on that).

I did not open this thread to get 'guided', i just hope few questions answered here.
I had several friends to help me, i've created a backdoor using reverse meterpreter payload, and asked them nicelly for corporation. When corporation gained i set up the the exploit handler by the big books and i had successful connection back to me, but it never actually opens a metepreter session.
Starting the payload handler....
Sending stage (752128 bytes) to x.x.x.x
On the internal network works just fine, but on the outside it just stays on the 'sending stage'.
When i tried to run the backdoor on my virtual machine i've been prompted with the following message Meterpreter sessions 2 opened (x.x.x.x -> x.x.x.x ) at etc.....
Exploit failed: deadlock; recursive locking
Exploit completed, but no sessions was created.
So i could open my sessions the virtual machine, but i had another sessions obviously, that wasn't displayed in the sessions list.
Can i get a brief explanation of what the ... is happening?
The binary is created on backtrack using virtual machine and the exploit handler is set up on windows 7 machine.
Waiting for connection on my external ip and desired port.
Hope i was clear enough and thanks for your time.

Question 1:
Reverse meterpreter: the ip used should be your 'outside' ip: you should forward the port from your router to the msf system.
Hope this answers your question.

Have to agree with Glyph there, use your external IP address, not Internal. Make sure your router has the correct ports forwarded and then give it a try again. There is also another option you could try, if it fails, place your attack's machine in a DMZ. This option is less secure, but it exposes the attacker machine to the internet, making the reverse connection happen flawlessly.

Also remember that some ISPs block the more popular exploitable ports like 135,139 etc. I'm not sure if this is the issue you are having since you said you are receiving a connection back, but it is something to keep in mind.

OpenSSL and Breaking UTF-8 Change (fixed in Node v0.8.27 and v0.10.29)
Today we are releasing new versions of Node:
First and foremost these releases address the current OpenSSL vulnerability CVE-2014-0224, for both 0.8 and 0.10 we've upgraded the version of the bundled OpenSSL to their fixed versions v1.0.0m and v1.0.1h respectively.
Additionally these releases address the fact that V8 UTF-8 encoding would allow
unmatched surrogate pairs. That is to say, previously you could construct a
valid JavaScript string (which are stored internally as UCS-2), pass it to a
as UTF-8, send and consume that string in another process and it would
fail to interpret because the UTF-8 string was invalid.
Note, the results encoded by V8 in this case are exactly what was passed into the encoding routine. There is no overflow, underflow, or the inclusion of other arbitrary memory, merely an unmatched UTF-8 surrogate resulting in invalid UTF-8.
As of these releases, if you try and pass a string with an unmatched surrogate
pair, Node will replace that character with the unknown unicode character
(U+FFFD). To preserve the old behavior set the environment variable
to anything (even nothing). If the environment variable is
present at all it will revert to the old behavior.
This breaks backward compatibility for the specific reason that unsanitized
strings sent as a text payload for an RFC compliant WebSocket implementation
should result in the disconnection of the client. If the client attempts to
reconnect and receives another invalid payload it must disconnect again. If
there is no logic to handle the reconnection attempts, this may lead to a
denial of service attack. For instance socket.io
attempts to reconnect by
// Prior to these releases:
new Buffer('ab\ud800cd', 'utf8');
// <Buffer 61 62 ed a0 80 63 64>
// After this release:
new Buffer('ab\ud800cd', 'utf8');
// <Buffer 61 62 ef bf bd 63 64>
// This is an explicit conversion to a Buffer, but the implicit
// .write('ab\ud800cd') also results in the same pattern
websocket.write(new Buffer('ab\ud800cd', 'utf8'));
// This would result in the client disconnecting.
Node's default encoding for strings is UTF-8
, so even if you're not
explicitly creating Buffer
s out of strings, Node may be doing so under the
hood. If what you're passing is not actually UTF-8
then when you call
you could be specific and say .write(str, 'binary')
signals Node to pass the string through without interpreting it.
You can also mitigate this in pure JavaScript by sanitizing your strings, as an example see node-unicode-sanitize which will similarly replace unmatched surrogate pairs with the unknown unicode character.
Thanks to Node.js alum Felix Geisendörfer for finding, getting the fixes upstreamed, and helping with the testing and mitigation. Also for helping to inform and improve the process for Node.js security issues.
To float these fixes in your own builds you can apply the following patch with

Notes from the Road
Notes from the Road
As Project Lead for Node.js, I was excited to have the opportunity to go on the road and bring production stories to all of our users. We've had amazing speakers and turn out in San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Boston, and New York. But I wanted to make sure we reached more than just our coasts, so soon we'll be in Minneapolis and I'll be returning to my home state of Ohio and doing an event in Cincinnati. The Node.js community is all over the world, and hopefully Node on the Road can reach as many of you as it can. Nominate your city to be a future stop on the Node.js on the Road series here.
These Node on the Road events are successful because of the incredible support from the community and the existing meetup organizations in their respective cities. But the biggest advantage is that the project gets to solicit feedback directly from our users about what is and isn't working for them in Node.js, what modules they're using, and where they need Node to do better.
Release schedules
Some of the feedback we've received has been about the upgrade process for Node. Veteran Node.js alums will occasionally sit around campfires and tell the stories of when things would break every release, or how long they stayed on 0.4 before upgrading to 0.6. Some production companies are still out there running on 0.8 afraid to make the jump to 0.10. While other companies advise people to avoid upgrading to a new release of a Node version until the patch number hits double digits. It's those sorts of stories that make it important for us to get the release for 0.12 right, from the get go.
Node is in a fantastic place right now, it's maturing quickly and finding its footing in new environments with new users and new use cases. The expectation for Node is getting higher each day with every release. There are multiple interests at stake, keeping Node lean, keeping it up to date with languages and standards, keeping it fast, and balanced with keeping it stable such that we don't upset the adoption rate. That means Node needs to make the right choices that balance the needs of all of our users without closing the doors to others.
All of these conversations are helping to shape the release process going forward, and helping to scope just what does go into a release and how fast people want to see those happen. In fact something we've been considering is eliminating the confusion around our Stable/Unstable branches, and instead moving to releases that are always stable. But it's important that the features and changes that go into a release are shaped by user feedback, which is why events like Node on the Road are vital.
Better Documentation
Another key piece of feedback has consistently been around our documentation. Users need us to clean up our API reference documentation, there are lots of undocumented and under-documented methods and properties that are being used or should be used. Node needs to include what errors may be delivered as part of the operation of your application, as well as what methods will throw and under what circumstances.
But mostly users are looking for more general purpose documentation that can help both new and veteran Node.js users be more productive with Node. And the people who are most equipped to provide that documentation are the users themselves who've already been successful.
Easier Contribution
Aside from soliciting feedback from users of Node.js and bringing production stories to our users, Node on the Road has also been about highlighting the various ways you as a member of the community can contribute. There are many ways you can contribute from meetups and conferences, to publishing modules, to finding issues in modules or core, to fixing issues in modules or core, or even adding features to modules or core. Where ever you are passionate about Node.js there are ways you can contribute back to Node.
Node.js has inherited many things from our largest dependency V8, we've adopted their build system GYP, we use their test runner (which is unfortunately in python), and when we were structuring the project we brought along the Contributor License Agreement (CLA) that Google uses to manage contributions for Chromium and V8. The CLA is there as a way for a project to audit itself and to give itself the opportunity to relicense itself in the future if necessary. Node.js though is distributed under the venerable MIT license, and that's not going to change. The MIT license is one of the most permissible open source licenses out there, and has fostered a ton of development with Node.js and we want that to continue.
In an effort to make it easier for users to contribute to Node.js the project has decided to lift the requirement of signing the CLA before contributions are eligible for integration. Having to sign the CLA could at times be a stumbling block for a contribution. It could involve a long conversation with your legal department to ultimately contribute typo corrections.
I'm excited to see what contributions will be coming from the community in the future, excited to see where our users take Node.js, and excited to be participating with all of you on this project.

"Believe the Hype!"
Sharpe's Tiger is chronologically the first of about 20 Richard Sharpe books. About seven years ago, I read Sharpe's Rifles and subsequently devoured each book in the series.
Fast forward to 2007: It is so hard to find a great listen and I was so desperate that I returned to a dependable, entertaining, consistently engrossing series – Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe novels but this time as audiobooks starting with the first in the series.
Since Sharpe's Tiger is chronologically the first book (Cornwell started this series with the Napoleonic Wars in Europe with Sharpe's Rifles) it remains true to the character and action as the other Sharpe books. Many series start off weak or uncertain before the author finds his pace and the character is developed.
I found that slight weakness to be true with the first two or three Sharpe books that Cornwell wrote. They were very good but I found that as Cornwell became more comfortable with the series and writing, the books got even better. Since Sharpe's Tiger was written several years after Cornwell started the series, he and Sharpe are in their prime. This is a great book to start the series.
The more books that I download from Audible, the more I realize the importance of a good narrator. Frederick Davidson does an excellent job with different accents in the book including Scot, British (of course), Indian and French. He also differentiates the speech of different people so it is easy to know when the conversation has shifted. Most importantly, Davidson does an excellent job of telling this exciting tale without getting overly dramatic.
As awkward as it sounds, each Sharpe novel is like a gritty Cinderella story, except Sharpe rarely gets to keep the girl or the money.
"Worst of the Richard Sharpe Narrators"
I am not sure why Patrick Tull has been chosen to narrate. When he speaks for 30-year-old Sharpe it jolts the listener out of the story. He sounds like a dehydrated old man in a nursing home, missing his teeth. In addition, he mumbles at times so that I have to keep the sound very high to hear the story or swipe back 30 seconds to try to discern what Tull is saying. Tull is one of the worst narrators that I have heard.
"AMAZING Narrator"
Cornwell wrote the book so everyone knows that the story will be amazing. However, this amazing plot is magnificently narrated by Jack Hawkins. His voices for the characters are varied, realistic and completely add to the story. He does Scottish characters, French women, boys, British men and women, Irish character, unread commonors, princes, French, Latin, English - his narration and accents are phenomenal.I hope that the book publishers re-make the abridged versions into unabridged and have Mr. Hawkins narrate. He is exceptional.
"Amazing experience + Inspiring tale"
The story is how Conor Grennan went to Nepal as a orphanage volunteer and gave his heart to the "orphans." Conor saw a problem and came up with an unrealistic solution to the problem: reconnect families in a remote part of the world that has no roads, limited air and telephone access. He did not have special connections or language talents but with the help of just a few others he was able to do some amazing things.
If you liked "Three Cups of Tea," this book is in the same vein. It is astonishing what one person can do when he is committed.
The book is equal parts sad, touching, poignant but overall amazingly inspiring. The first few hours of the book are good but a little slow. Stay with it because the middle is very good and from that point it becomes a "can't stop listening" story.
Conor Grennan reads the himself and does a very credible job. His voice is well-modulated, clear and with just the right amount of nuance without being annoying or irritating.
On another topic: Why won't Audible allow us to have paragraph breaks? Sorry for the single paragraph of many different ideas!
"Modern Coming of Age Story"
Great book. My son (a 13 year old boy more interested in sports than books) and I are hooked on this story. I thought he wouldn't like it but it is a great book.
This is a great audiobook because the narrator must use numerous voices and accents and does a very decent job of it. The author does a great job of recreating parental lectures and child/parent arguments - my son and I look at each other and laugh because they are so familiar.
The book is well-written, very funny and yet poignant. It's a pleasure to listen to - although Benny can be sarcastic and rude, listening to life from the perspective of a 12 year old is very funny. Eoin Colfer must have sons of his own.
We have about 40 minutes to go to finish the book but, as a parent, the theme is about maturity and decisions that young people must make.
Benny thinks he has adults figured out and is always thinking two steps ahead of them. His parents are frustrated and want him to understand their perspective and, in essance, be mature. Lectures, lessons and chores do not work but a dose of Tunesian reality does.
In rereading this, I make the book sound dull and simple but the book is not preachy while making an effective point to the listener. I strongly recommend it.
"Sets a New Standard for a Good Audiobook"
After this audio, I couldn't finish another book for about 6 months. I started and stopped listening to about 3 books - compared to The Help, they didn't sustain my interest.
Incredible book with incredible narrators. It is the first book I have listened to where the narrators are better then the book. . . and the book is excellent.
I gave this to my sister and she couldn't turn it off either and it was her first audiobook. My brother in law loves audible books and loved this book as well.
If you enjoy audiobooks - this is a must!
"A Listening Struggle"
I looked forward to listening to this book because of the great reviews and many of the reviewers had the same tastes in audiobooks.
However, I struggled with the letter format (the book, at least the part I listened to, is a series of letters that keeps that story going). I couldn't keep the characters and places straight and I stopped listening after about an hour.
My sister gave me her copy of the book and I'll read the book and I am sure that I will enjoy it.
"Amazing Adventure!"
I read this book several years ago and was looking for a good book to listen to.
(The Help was so excellent it has raised my standards for audiobooks. I am finding it very difficult to listen to other books.)
Although I know the beginning, end and middle of the story, I am still anxious to finish it. I'm not sure how a book that has been already read can be suspenseful but it is.
The hardships that the men had to endure and how they faced it are amazing. The detail that the author included in the book is perfect - enough to understand the hardships and the backgrounds but not so much that it is boring and slow.
The narrator does an excellent job with pacing and with the different voices.
Excellent book!
"Seems like an abridged version"
I really enjoy this type of true life adventure story. It's amazing that these two people accomplished this journey - even more amazing is that they were so young and their equipment was not modern and high-tech.
There are a couple of warnings: the story was written decades ago and some of writing is of the "golly gee" type style of the 50's. Also, there are some terms that are offensive today, i.e., "savages," "half-breeds," etc.
However, the story and the journey is amazing. I would love to read someone else's take of their journey. It's like Ernest Shackleton writing of his own Endurance story. He probably wasn't dramatic, over-impressed with himself and emotional. Neither were these two characters so that the book tended to be a little dry at times, just mentioning the animals and people that they met. I wish that there was more detail of their personal hardships and emotions.
Eric Severeid barely touched on the hardships of the journey. For example, they had to walk 5 miles carrying their equipment and sank into the mud every 2-3 steps but only two sentences were devoted to the difficulty. Mr. Severeid did write that it was a walk he would never forget.
All in all, while their journey and exploits are very impressive, they did not do their story justice. Was listening to the book worthwhile? Yes, but it just seemed to skim the surface of a very exciting adventure. Also, not being able to follow their story with maps is a disadvantage. Maybe the hardcopy of the book has maps.
The narrator is average. A more youthful sounding narrator would have improved the story. However, I am always happy when narrators don't have lisps or over dramatic voices and Mr. Farrell did not.
"Funny and well-written"
It is rare when an excellent book is combined with a suitably excellent narrator. I've listened to many books and this is one of the best narrators that I've listened to. He is perfect for the book because his Holling voice sounds young yet his vivid voices provides faces of the book characters.
A quick review in Amazon will show you that this is an excellent book to read, however, I think that it is even better to listen to it as an audiobook because of the wit and some of the Shakespeare lines.
Before I listened to the book I thought it was about smart alec kid who outwitted his teachers and I was previewing it for my son because it did get high reviews. It's not, it's about a kid who it just doing his best. Holling (our young protagonist) is a thoroughly well-rounded character who is Every Boy. During the book, his experiences with his teachers, friends and family mature him and we laugh at some of his missteps and thoughts along the way.
I highly recommend it.
"Overrated and Waaaay too Unrealistic"
I loved the idea of the book and I thought Lizbeth's character was well done but overall I felt the book was amateurish. The characters seemed one dimensional and I couldn't get into the two mysteries, particularly the libel case.
My meter in determining whether a book is good is whether I can't turn it off and sit in the car finishing the next section. My commute is only twenty minutes and on a good book I find myself eating lunch in the car and listening to a book or staying in the driveway. There was never a time during this book that I struggled with turning it off and getting back to it on another day. I really didn't care.
I don't know much about writing novels but it seems to me that characters are best developed when the author writes scenarios and scenes that show the reader the character of the person. On too many occasions Mr. Larssen jumped into secondary characters' minds to tell us their great opinion of one of the main characters.
Most of all, I found Blumquist to be an annoying character and felt that author tried to build him up as a heroic, morally-sensitive tough guy. Through his troubles, I kept thinking, "So what? "Who cares? Get over it!"
I also felt that there were many unrealistic events and relationships in the book. I mean, c'mon, Blumquist's sex life is ridiculous and any one of the relationships would have been a stretch to believe but in combination, it is just so unrealistic.

"This is a Legend"
This is an outstanding audio book. If you like the spy genre, Littell is one the best and it shows in this audio book. Very interesting from the first word to the last word. Excellent production value and narration. I couldn't stop listening to this on my ipod and even got a little paint on it when I tried to listen while painting my shed. Well, it was worth it
"Good stuff"
I am a big McKinty fan and he doesn't disappoint with his latest Sean Duffy novel.
Great series. Can't wait until the next one.
"Excellent Book/Lousy narration"
I really enjoyed this book. It was intriguing and had several twists and turns. The central character is not loveable but he is compelling. I found the narration to be very annoying after a while. It was like the narrator was trying to sound American (way too much). H also did the lead characters (who were Eastern Europeans) in very American voices but did Austrian voices with pseudo-accents. It's still a very good audio book

Something I can't live without
It's rare that I come accross something in this hobby that I just can't live without, but I did.
After hearing from a few of the old time modellers at the LHS I decided to pick up an Ace Add-A-Trickle for my radio charging. I own a Hitec Eclipse with the stock pack replaced with an 1800mah NiMh pack and always find it to be low on charge when I need it. After buying this the install was simple. Just cut the wires on your stock radio charger and put this inline. Hook your radio up to charge like you normally would and you have two options. The first is to press the charge button which will do a 16 hour charge at the normal rate and then switch to the trickle rate. Or you can start the trickle rate and let it go indefinately. The trickle rate is 110th of whatever your chargers normal rate is. In the case of my Hitec 55mah for the default charge and 5.5mah for the trickle charge. The device is made to keep your radio on charge indefinately, so that is what I do. After a week of using this I have never had a case when my radio was not charged when I need it to be. I have also noticed that my radio batteries maintain their charge better than before and last a bit longer, most likely because the very slow trickle rate keeps the cells well matched and charged. For everyone out there that has the same problems as me, radio is always dead when you need it to be, get one of these and it will go away. Ace Add-A-Trickle available from your LHS, I got mine from New Creations for around $25.00 plus shipping. Well worth the price. |
I have been using two TME CHARGEminders for almost 6 years with the original TX batts in my JR radios of the same vintage. You simply plug the unit in, then plug a regular (non-surge protector) strip into it and it keeps the TX charged with NO over charging. It will do up to 16 devices!

This could be one of the best kept secrets in the hobby. I have 4 Add-A-Tickle set-ups in addition to 2 TME units. Each charger is clearly marked as to what radio it is used for so I'm ready to go any time with any plane based on conditions of the day.
From what I've read over the last couple of years with regard to battery charging and maintenance, Nicads and nimh cells can be charged at 1/10c and 1/20c respectively, indefinitely anyway. (Maybe this isn't the case??)
My 700mah nicad pack for my TX is charged by my 70mah charger. I've often left it on for a couple of days and the pack still seems to have the same longevity as it did when I bought it about 3 years ago. |

You may be right as I have also done the same. I think it becomes a problem if done consistantly. At any rate I feel a bit more at ease using the trickle charge. as far as it goes I may be doing it wrong as well. BM |
I've made my own packs for my Hitec and Futaba TX's. Granted, thats a good idea. But, I am never at a loss for power to my TX's. I always take a spare pack with me.

I've considered that as well. My problem is the fact that most tranny's have the battery receptacle under a pw board. I don't have enough confidence in my electronic knowledge to make whatever changes are necessary. my solution is several planes--each with it's own transmitted. BM |
