Boston Garden legend Rene Rancourt isn't letting the NHL lockout keep him quiet. Rancourt has agreed to a one game ATO (Anthem Tryout Agreement) with the Worcester Sharks for Sunday, Dec. 16, when the Sharks host the Portland Pirates at 3 p.m. at the DCU Center in Worcester. "I would like to thank the Worcester Sharks for the opportunity to stay in shape during the NHL work stoppage," Rene Rancourt said, according to the Sharks Website. "I look forward to get my vocal cords back in game shape in the AHL and look forward to making my Sharks debut at the DCU Center on December 16." "The Sharks are excited to have an NHL caliber voice singing the national anthem before the Sharks game on December 16," said Sharks president Michael A. Mudd. "We are thrilled to give Rene Rancourt the opportunity to work on his famous fist pumps and salute at the DCU Center in Worcester." Check out the clip below of Rene singing Christmas carols last year at the TD Garden.

Mondi Limited (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Registration number: 1967/013038/06) JSE share code: MND ISIN: ZAE000156550 Mondi plc (Incorporated in England and Wales) (Registered number: 6209386) JSE share code: MNP ISIN: GB00B1CRLC47 LSE share code: MNDI As part of the dual listed company structure, Mondi Limited and Mondi plc (together 'Mondi Group') notify both the JSE Limited and the London Stock Exchange of matters required to be disclosed under the JSE Listings Requirements and/or the Disclosure and Transparency and Listing Rules of the United Kingdom Listing Authority. Mondi Group: Interim Management Statement 31 October 2012 This interim management statement provides an update on the financial performance and financial position of the Group since the half-year ended 30 June 2012, based on management accounts up to 30 September 2012 and estimated results for October 2012. These results have not been audited or reviewed by Mondi's external auditors. Audited results for the year ending 31 December 2012 will be published on or around 21 February 2013. Except as discussed in this interim management statement, there have been no other significant events or transactions impacting either the financial performance or financial position of Mondi since 30 June 2012 up to the date of this statement. Group Performance Overview Underlying operating profit for the third quarter ended 30 September 2012 was EUR135 million (year to date EUR405 million, 2011 EUR490 million) in line with that of the comparable prior year period (Q3 2011 EUR136 million) and below that of the prior quarter (Q2 2012 EUR150 million). This was in line with expectations and reflects a stable trading environment considering the impact of the traditionally weaker European summer months, annual maintenance shuts at a number of the Group's larger operating sites during the quarter and ongoing strong cost containment. Sales volumes were, on average, similar to those achieved in the previous quarter but above those of the comparable prior year period, although demand in the downstream converting operations was below that of the prior year. Third quarter average benchmark selling prices across all grades were below those of the comparable prior year period. Selling price increases were realised in kraft paper during the quarter and price increases for containerboard are effective from early in the fourth quarter of 2012. On average, input costs in the third quarter were similar to the previous quarter and below that of the comparable prior year period. Benchmark recovered fibre costs decreased by 23% in the quarter and were 30% below the comparable prior year period. As a result of the anticipated start-up of new recycled containerboard capacity in Poland in early 2013, regional market pressure on recovered fibre costs is expected in the near term. The weaker South African rand and stronger US dollar versus the euro benefited mainly the South Africa division and, to a lesser extent, the Packaging Paper business. During the quarter, all conditions precedent for the acquisition of Nordenia International AG were met and, with effect from 1 October 2012, the Group acquired a 99.93% interest in Nordenia for a cash consideration of EUR259 million. As part of its continuing focus on its core businesses, the Group concluded the sale of its 50% share in Aylesford Newsprint to The Martland Holdings on 2 October 2012. The shares were sold for a nominal consideration following recapitalisation of the business. The net cash flow effect of the transaction was a EUR17 million outflow, while the estimated loss on disposal was EUR71 million. Following the sale of Aylesford Newsprint, the Group has restructured its reporting in South Africa to combine the Mondi Shanduka Newsprint joint venture into the South Africa division. Divisional Overview Europe & International As indicated in the half-year end results, following the completion of the acquisition of Nordenia, the Group has rearranged its Europe & International business into four segments: Packaging Paper, Fibre Packaging, Consumer Packaging and Uncoated Fine Paper. The commentary that follows is based on these new reporting segments. Packaging Paper performed well during the period benefiting from continued strong cost containment. Underlying operating profit was at similar levels to the second quarter, although still below that of the comparable prior year period. Average benchmark selling prices for the quarter for virgin containerboard were approximately 3% higher than the previous quarter, white-top containerboard selling prices were largely unchanged whilst average prices for recycled containerboard were well below those of the previous quarter (9% lower), on the back of lower recovered fibre input costs (23% lower). Containerboard prices remain well below the levels of the previous year. During the quarter, sales volumes were negatively impacted by the planned maintenance shut at Swiecie, but demand remained at similar levels to the previous period. On the back of supply contraction in the virgin containerboard market and stable demand, selling price increases have been negotiated across all containerboard grades, the benefits of which are expected to be realised in the fourth quarter of the year. Price increases for sack kraft paper took effect from July 2012. Good demand continued to be seen in export markets offsetting ongoing weakness in southern Europe. The major annual maintenance shuts in this segment are planned for the fourth quarter when demand in the downstream businesses is traditionally lower. Fibre Packaging performed well during the quarter with underlying operating profit well above the comparable prior year period and similar to that achieved in the previous quarter, benefiting from a comprehensive commercial excellence project leading to improved margin management and strong cost containment as well as non-recurring income of EUR3 million from the sale of land. Selling prices were at similar levels to those of the previous quarter whilst sales volumes were lower than the previous quarter and those achieved in the comparable prior year period. Input costs were relatively stable, with the main paper price increases only starting to take effect in the fourth quarter. The industrial bags business benefited from stable demand in northern Europe and good demand in non-European markets, offsetting the impact of the weaker southern European markets. Restructuring activities in light of the structurally weaker demand are currently being evaluated for implementation during the fourth quarter of 2012. Higher paper input costs and seasonally weaker demand will impact returns in the fourth quarter. Corrugated packaging enjoyed the benefits of lower recycled containerboard prices in the third quarter, although margins are expected to come under some pressure in the fourth quarter on the back of generally higher paper input prices. Performance in the Coatings business remained stable, albeit still below our expectations due to low returns from the US business, impacted by the start-up of a new plant. In September 2012, Mondi concluded an agreement with Duropack GmbH to acquire two corrugated box plants in Germany and the Czech Republic, consuming 130,000 tonnes containerboard per annum, and a 105,000 tonne recycled containerboard mill in the Czech Republic for a consideration of EUR125 million. The acquisition is in line with the Group's strategy to strengthen its leading position in corrugated packaging in central and eastern Europe. The transaction remains on track for completion during the fourth quarter. Consumer Packaging delivered steady returns with underlying operating profit similar to that of the previous quarter. Sales volumes were higher than the comparable prior year period whilst sales prices were largely unchanged. The acquisition of Nordenia with effect from 1 October 2012 will significantly enhance this business. Integration activities are progressing well and all closing activities have been completed. The focus in the near term will be on integrating Nordenia into Mondi, aligning processes and refining and implementing the expected synergy benefits. Uncoated Fine Paper continues to deliver strong results despite a generally difficult trading environment, driven by a cost reduction programme. Underlying operating profit for the quarter was above that of the comparable prior year period but below that of the second quarter, due to the normal seasonal summer slowdown and planned maintenance shuts at Neusiedler and SCP Ruzomberok. Benchmark selling prices were slightly higher than the previous quarter, at similar levels to those achieved in the previous year, whilst sales volumes remained at similar levels to the comparable prior year period. Although wood costs were largely unchanged, some relief was seen towards the end of the third quarter. The anticipated start-up of a new paper machine in Russia in early 2013 as well as the phased reduction in import duties following Russia's integration into the World Trade Organisation over a four year period starting in 2013 will impact this business. Ongoing cost optimisation initiatives in Russia will seek to mitigate any potential margin pressure. South Africa Division South Africa Division (including Mondi Shanduka Newsprint) benefited from a positive domestic trading environment and the weaker South African rand. Operating profit was slightly lower than the comparable prior year period and below that of the immediately preceding quarter primarily due to inventory build leading up to, and the impact of, a planned maintenance shut at Richards Bay which was concluded early in October. A recent increase in domestic pulpwood prices will result in an estimated additional EUR10 million gain on fair value of forestry assets in the income statement in the fourth quarter, based on prevailing wood prices. Financial position Net debt was EUR1,188 million at the end of the quarter, down EUR85 million on the half-year. The acquisitions of Nordenia and the Duropack corrugated assets as well as the disposal of Aylesford will increase net debt in the fourth quarter of 2012. On 21 September 2012, Mondi successfully launched a 3.375%, 8-year, EUR500 million Eurobond maturing in September 2020. The Group also cancelled its unutilised EUR250 million bridging facility arranged specifically for the acquisition of Nordenia. On 29 October 2012, Mondi issued an unconditional and irrevocable guarantee to the holders of the Nordenia bond. During the quarter, the Group's investment grade credit ratings of Baa3 (Moody's Investor Services) and BBB- (Standard and Poor's) were reaffirmed. The Group continues to be strongly cash generative and working capital levels remain within the Group's targeted range. Capital expenditure increased during the period compared to the previous quarter due to the preponderance of maintenance shuts during the period as well as increased spending on the energy improvement projects. Total capital expenditure for the year is expected to be around 90% of the Group's annual depreciation charge. Finance charges during the period were lower than the previous quarter on both lower average net debt and lower effective interest rates, but are expected to increase in the fourth quarter as net debt rises following the completion of the Nordenia and Duropack acquisitions. The average maturity of the Group's committed debt facilities at 30 September 2012 was approximately 5 years. The Group had available EUR941 million of committed, unutilised borrowing facilities at 30 September 2012, immediately preceding the completion of the Nordenia transaction. Summary Price increases in the main packaging paper grades offer support for the remainder of the year. Looking further forward, continued soft demand on the back of the prevailing macroeconomic uncertainties and some additional capacity expansions in certain of our core markets remain a concern, although it is encouraging to note that the strong supply side fundamentals remain generally intact.

A well-funded Wisconsin conservative group is blasting seven candidates in an election for county board in sparsely populated Iron County, calling them "radical anti-mining" environmentalists who will force the closing of businesses and place families on welfare.
Americans for Prosperity's Wisconsin director David Fladeboe said a glossy, full-color mailing delivered Wednesday to about 1,000 homes is just the beginning of an educational campaign against seven candidates challenging members of the pro-mining county board in the April 1 election.
"We're activating our field staff up there (because) we want to educate folks in Iron County about the issue," Fladeboe said Wednesday. "We're working with our folks in the area who know what's going on.
However, one of those targeted on the mailer, Town of Saxon Assistant Fire Chief Karl Krall, said he is actually a strong proponent of the mine, and he is puzzled and angry about being described as a job-killing radical on the mailer sent to his friends, neighbors and potential voters in the district where he is a candidate.
"I couldn't believe that someone who is pro-mine and for this wouldn't do the research on the people they are sliming in the mailing," Krall said. "Is that the kind of people we want supporting the mine if that's the kind sloppy research they did?"
Wearing a blue hardhat, Krall stood an arm's length from Gov. Scott Walker as he pushed for mine-friendly legislation during the Jan. 15, 2013, State of the State address in the Capitol.
Krall was also in attendance when Walker signed the landmark bill that relaxed regulations for a company that is planning a massive open pit iron mine in Iron County. Krall said he was given one of the pens Walker used to sign the bill.
"Everybody in the town except me got the flier saying I'm an anti-mine radicalist," Krall said. "It's a joke."
He said about 10 people called him Wednesday asking if it was true that he'd suddenly turned against the mine proposal.
The flier listed phone numbers for each of the seven candidates challenging county board members.
"Call these anti-mine radicals and tell them to stand up for you and your local jobs, not radical environmental policies," the mailer urges in bold red lettering.
Krall said the mailer printed his neighbor's phone number instead of his own. He said he has asked the neighbor if he'd received any calls.
Krall is a member of Local 139 Operating Engineers union that supported the mining bill. He said he was laid off last year after 14 years working for Northwoods Paving.
A mine proposed by Gogebic Taconite is going through a state permitting process has been divisive across the state and especially in Iron County.
County board elections seldom if ever have even one incumbent facing a challenger, said county clerk Mike Saari.
This year there was even a primary, with the strongest pro-mining advocate losing last month. The incumbent and a critic of the way the mine proposal has been handled are facing off on April 1.
Gogebic Taconite spokesman Bob Seitz has said that the company has no complaints about the 15 current county board members.
National conservative groups are becoming more active in local politics.
ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council, which has long pushed state laws with a "limited government, free market" orientation, recently opened an offensive on the local level called the American City County Exchange.
ACCE is the "fastest-growing volunteer membership organization of policymakers from villages, towns, cities and counties," according to ALEC's website.
Dick Theide, a challenger in the election who is listed on the mailer, said he is probably more active than any other candidate in questioning the proposed mine. He said he doesn't see how it can be built to be both profitable and environmentally sound, but mining in general is needed to provide raw materials for products we all use.
"Anti-mining is a stupid position to take because we all drive cars and have Sheetrock on the walls around us," said Theide, who blogs about the mine proposal and maintains that Gogebic Taconite hasn't been forthright about the existence of asbestos-like fibers on the site, about the amount of waste rock that will be produced or about the likelihood of sulphides that can produce devastating acid drainage.
Asked if he or the other challengers were radicals, Theide laughed.
A former secretary of the state Department of Natural Resources said he was shocked by the intervention of Americans for Prosperity, which is backed by wealthy activists David and Charles Koch.
"I find it fascinating but not surprising that a national advocacy group would intervene into the politics of a very small rural county," said George Meyer, executive director of the Wisconsin Wildlife Federation.
The group "who is heavily supportive of the mine (is) concerned that even if some of the new county board candidates, some are actually supportive of the mine, may ask some more probing questions of the company, about the economic and environmental aspects of the mine and what it will mean in terms of costs to county taxpayers and landowners," Meyer said. "To date, the county board has not asked any of those tough questions."

Shaun Marcum's deal is for $4 million plus incentives
Jan 25, 2013, 11:52 AM EDT
UPDATE: Ken Rosenthal reports that Marcum's deal with the Mets is for $4 million plus incentives. Obviously Marcum represents an injury risk, but that seems like a good deal.
Thursday, 8:51 AM: Jon Heyman reports that the Mets have signed Sean Marcum. It's a one-year deal, pending a physical.
Marcum, who is 31, posted a 3.70 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 109/41 K/BB ratio in 124 innings last year. He missed a large chunk of time with a right elbow injury, but that obviously didn't scare off anyone.
Several teams, including the Rangers, Padres, Pirates, Royals, Twins and Indians had shown interest in the former Brewers' starter. The Mets getting him bolsters a rotation that was already looking pretty good, with Matt Harvey, Johan Santana, Jon Neise and Dillon Gee. If the Mets are to do anything in 2013, it seems, it will be on the back of solid pitching.
UPDATE: I always feel bad when there's a Mets signing (D.J.'s team), Cardinals signing (Drew's team), or the Twins signing (Aaron's team) and I'm the one around to handle the post on it. They're so much more excited about it than I am and, let's be honest, are better at contextualizing it. So I give you D.J.'s initial thoughts on the Marcum signing, plucked from Twitter:
I don't have a lot of faith in Shaun Marcum's ability to hold up, but can't hate on a one-year deal.
— D.J. Short (@djshort) January 24, 2013
Shaun Marcum has a 2.67 road ERA since 2011, best among pitchers with at least 100 IP. Getting away from Miller Park will be good for him.
— D.J. Short (@djshort) January 24, 2013
It's so nice for D.J. that the Mets signed someone. It's almost like they're in the real big leagues and everything.
- sdelmonte - Jan 24, 2013 at 9:07 AM
Yeah, it's weird that the Mets didn't sign anyone till now. But by the same token, the sort of player they want is still out there in large quantities.
I like this signing, though I still would have preferred Chris Young.
- blockedshotnyr - Jan 24, 2013 at 2:51 PM
Marcum is twice the pitcher Chris Young is – and Marcum isn't outstanding…
- proudlycanadian - Jan 24, 2013 at 9:20 AM
Marcum is a good pitcher when healthy. He also fields his position very well.
- proudlycanadian - Jan 24, 2013 at 9:21 AM
P. S. So Matthew is a Red Sox fan. I feel sorry for him.
- abaird2012 - Jan 24, 2013 at 11:55 AM
He hides it well — objectivity or shame?
- cur68 - Jan 24, 2013 at 12:42 PM
Real thick skin. And callouses.
- bougin89 - Jan 24, 2013 at 10:12 AM
Marcum was very solid for us except he really wears down by the end of the season. Two seasons ago he could barely get anyone out when we needed him the most in the playoffs.
- bolweevils2 - Jan 24, 2013 at 11:05 AM
Well at least that won't be a concern for my Mets.
- dalucks - Jan 24, 2013 at 11:43 AM
Atleast they are trying to improve the pitching staff but we need to focus on the bullpen now.
1 year deals for veteran minimum should start rolling pretty soon. Spring training is around the corner.
- thebadguyswon - Jan 24, 2013 at 2:08 PM
That's OK Craig. We'll stink this year but at least we'll get to giggle when the Braves get bounced in the first round….again.
- blockedshotnyr - Jan 24, 2013 at 2:28 PM
Great signing – one year deal, little risk, high reward – Marcum will do very well in spacious CitiField and is good pitcher when healthy. Plus, the Mets have no commitment to him beyond this year if he does get hurt. His mid-to-low 3.00 ERA will make great trade bait come the deadline if he holds up. Smart signing.
- bougin89 - Jan 25, 2013 at 5:03 PM
Totally agree. Especially at 4 million plus incentives. Really good value signing in my opinion. At that price I would have liked to have him back in Milwaukee.
- thekoobeyak - Jan 24, 2013 at 6:14 PM
Marcum is outstanding when there is absolutely nothing on the line…I smell career year with the Mets
- kiwicricket - Jan 25, 2013 at 1:49 PM
Great signing, one year deal for comparative peanuts.
Just feel sorry for the poor schmuck who signs him after his good season with the Mets.
- aberystwyth2 - Jan 25, 2013 at 4:34 PM
seriously a one year flier on Marcum HAS to be better than Hochevar!
- unclemosesgreen - Jan 25, 2013 at 6:20 PM
124 IP last season because of elbow problems. Why stop there? They should get Pavano on a lowball one-year deal while his spleen is leaving him weak and also sign Chris Young. They could end up with the most brittle staff in all of baseball.

Urban Homesteader Produces 6,000 lbs of Organic Food on 1/10th Acre
With over 400 species of plants, 4,300 pounds of vegetable food, 900 chicken and 1,000 duck eggs, 25 lbs of honey, plus seasonal fruits throughout the year, they are able to produce over 90% food they eat, and they sell food on their front porch making about $20,000 a year.
We are not the 99%
How is it that we can extract oil from the other side the world, transport it across an ocean to refineries that turn it into a substance that can power millions of vehicles, yet we cannot get these starving children food and water? Why can't we get transportation for these mothers and their children who are walking for two weeks and dying along the way? How is it that we can land on the moon and travel through space, but not get food and water to a country here on our very own planet?

In light of a later scene with Pennington and T'Prynn (where Tim goes round and round the station to look for him and she tells him he's gone), that bit of text should perhaps have been moved to the end of that conversation.
To me, this doesn't mean the 2 friends never saw each other again. Perhaps Pennington met him again decades later, but under his new identity. That quote seems a little open ended.
One of the things I've loved about this series is how often I've been led to believe the fate of certain characters or situations only to find I'd been misled for the sake of a later surprise.

Barbecued Meatloaf
22 comments | Leave Comment
Barbecued Meatloaf
I made my first meatloaf when I had a ton of leftover ground beef from trying my hand at meatballs. We were having a few guests for Shabbos, and I was filling the pot with enough meatballs to feed an army. Hubby suggested I use the remaining meatball mixture for meatloaf. "I can't serve that at a Shabbos meal!" I said. "It's so unattractive and ordinary." Hubby assured me it would be wonderful. At dinnertime, I brought it to the table, apologizing every step of the way. And surprise, it was such a huge hit! More people complimented the meatloaf than the meatballs. It has since evolved into this unique barbecued version.
- Prep Time : 5 min min
- Cook Time : 1 hour
- Ready Time : 1 hour, 5 min
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons onion powder
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well.
- Press into prepared loaf pan.
- Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
- Loosen edges of meatloaf with a blunt-edged knife and turn meatloaf out onto a platter. Slice and serve.
Place a few hard-cooked eggs in the middle of the loaf before baking. Or make a shepherd's pie by adding either instant or homemade mashed potatoes. Spread a layer of potatoes over the beef before baking.

I enjoy listening to the show and have gotten wonderful receipes. I have always received incredible comments when serving the dishes. Keep up the good work. Was wondering how life in Israel is.
Love this recipe! I make it with ground white meat turkey and use ketchup instead of barbecue sauce. About 1/2 cup panko crumbs. Thanks
Jamie, just made your meatloaf!! looks and smells great. can't wait to try it this shabbat. Harriet
I love your Recipes I also really enjoy the sound effects when you and your friends are sampling the food.. I believe when you eat something that's really good and pleasing to your pallet, it should be natural that yum that's good come out of your mouth. Personally if no displaying of how good something tastes when I am viewing via the Internet I will not try that recipe because I can only see the reactions of you and your friends tasting the food, which give me the impression it's good. Please continue letting me know it's good when you indulge!
I'm making this tonight for my Israeli husband (we live in Haifa), I've never made him meatloaf in our almost 4 years together, your recipe looks great!
Hi Jamie
I am a student and live far away from my family. Your recipes save my time bc I don't have to look into 100 websites in order to find one recipe with kosher ingredients. I am thankful for having access to these wonderful videos for free.
One other helpful things for me is your explanations on how you save your leftovers from one dish to make another.
Thanks a lot.
Hi Jamie! Just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your incredible, quick, easy and delicious recipes. I have your cookbooks and know most of the recipes by heart. I love how simple yet amazing they are, without lots of complicated ingredients. The videos are an added bonus !

Petition Update
Legislative Analyst's Office Finds CRC Elimination "at odds"...
California Caregiver Resource Centers
Apr 3, 2012 — "This proposal is somewhat at odds with the Governor's Coordinated Care Initiative to provide better coordinated care for seniors and persons with disabilities in order to reduce fragmentation in the state's long-term care services continuum. To the extent that the state would be relying more on home and community-based services under the Governor's initiative, the role of the CRC would support those objectives."

Ping Limit Bypass
Posted 13 December 2009 - 08:10 PM
Posted 13 December 2009 - 08:22 PM
on my default_mp.exe it doesnt have MZ at ox4000 MZ starts at the very first line
Look at offset 0x4000 of default_mp.xex not "exe".
Idapro already have support for ppc.
Posted 13 December 2009 - 08:32 PM
Posted 20 December 2009 - 04:08 PM
The first 34 bytes are system link hearder:
- 4 bytes : CMD
- 2 bytes : option, .....
We can see a sequence number, a answer number ...
The CMD for ping is 00:00:00:00 00:58 and the answer 00:00:00:00 01:58.
But all bytes after 0x34 are encrypted, if we can found how is this bytes encrypted, we can fake a echo-replay.
Posted 22 December 2009 - 07:37 AM
Posted 22 December 2009 - 11:59 AM
this CMD come out from packets the xbox sends out.
All system link use the same, and are generated by the M$ API.
Not exactly ALL, because some all game don't have this "ping limit", but use the same API.
I see now two possible solutions:
- Found in the nand the key used to encrypt the daya after 0x34 and than fake a echo-reply (the best because no need to have a hacked xbox).
- compare the API call in this old game and a new one. Than modify the XEX to disable this "ping test".
Ledjohnnyboy , you have make a good search, if you found now the call to this API, for sure you can disable this limit.
Posted 23 December 2009 - 12:13 AM
thanks for your help guys!
Posted 28 December 2009 - 08:35 PM
Iv'e said for ages someone needs to crack this ping limit in system link. It would be like the old days - xbox, xlink & halo 2...... rock on.
I would love to help but don't know enough but you guys rule, keep up the good work I'm sure you'll crack it.

By the way, the episode basically shows how a device responds to windows computers that send a request out for their particular network. I was thinking if it was possible to use a device such as that, or simply a computer to sorta do the same concept. Basically the xbox game sends a packet with certain data to a host, and we just intercept the packet and send a reply packet that shows we are that particular host.

Take a look of the data in that blue selection, obviously those are variables for determining or storing the host name, now maybe by analyzing other files we might be able to find some examples of these Hosts. In my opinion if we can figure out what the packets being sent contain and what the packets being received contain, then we can send a reply packet that duplicates the reply packets being sent by a actual xbox server.
Posted 12 January 2010 - 08:33 PM
Posted 14 January 2010 - 04:24 AM
Hi, is it just possible to intercept that packets that the 360 game sends so we can fake reply to those packets? Why make it so hard? It seems that it would be possible to just intercept, and send reply packets so the 360 thinks its getting a good connection under 30ms.
I was just going to suggest this as I was reading this thread. This has to be the easiest thing to do. Just have the PC intercept ICMP packets, find out the source information, drop the packet, spoof the reply; you're done.
Am I missing something more complicated?
I feel this would be much more easier than targetting each game.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
Particle effects can be used to create everything from realistic smoke and light to abstract design elements. In Maya Particle Effects, Audri Phillips demonstrates the particles she has found helpful in her work creating dynamic visuals for video games,film and fine art. This course goes deeper than the basics, tackling topics like saving time by reusing MEL expressions, implementing physics to create realistic effects, and manipulating paint effects to give particles the look and feel of an envisioned design. Exercise files accompany the course.
So here we have the same smoke that we had in the last movie and this time we're going to add another expression to the particles that will increase its velocity. Remember that velocity is a change in position over time, so we need to use a vector expression for it, because we need to show the three directions X, Y and Z for it. So I am going to select my particles and add an expression to them, my smoke particles, and look there is a place for Velocity I am going to make it in to Creation Expression. Let's go right here and Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, = and let's really have it speeding along. I don't want it to go any faster in the X direction.
But I do want to make it really speed along in the Y direction. So I will make that 8 and then in the Z direction, forgot one over here, close it off and go Edit. All right so let's see what we have got now. So look, there is my smoke really speeding along, really change of velocity for that. Now I am going to do something else with it. I am going to try to change the Acceleration, and remember Acceleration is a particle's measurement of how it changes its velocity over time. And it's also a vector expression because you wanted to deal with the three directions to it.
Notice that sometimes if I have a Velocity and an Acceleration expression Maya will crash. I would normally want to put the Velocity expression in creation, and the Acceleration in the Runtime before dynamics. But I am going to get rid of this expression for Velocity to be on the safe side here. I am going to go Delete and Edit. Now in the Acceleration I am going to add Runtime before dynamics. So this expression, Maya will calculate it before any of the fields affect the particles.
Enter. So I am going to do this. Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, =0 in the X, so really make it apparent. Let's see if we can do 10 for the acceleration of it in the Y direction in 0 and I'll hit Edit. And let's see what we have got. So it seems to go faster and faster over time. Now you can pull back on that.
It's going to the front window. Maybe then I will show it. Pull way back on this. See what we have got. There you can see it really accelerating over time that way. So you could see how the Acceleration expression really works. Okay so now we're going to live dangerously and try adding a little bit of fire to this scene. So I am going to go into the Acceleration Expression Editor, Runtime Before Dynamics and I am going to remove this expression. I will edit that, go back to the beginning and our fire, our smoke should be moving at the same speed it was previously.
Now we're going to trying to add some fire embers to this. Now in my Window, my Rendering Editors, my Hypershade. You can see I have this fireEmber material here and if I look at it, you can see I use the crater and that it has a lot of Incandescence on it, and the Color, this crater and lots of Incandescence.
We're going to hook it up. So in my Window, my Relationship Editors, my Dynamic Relationship, I have got a particle1 that I am going to hook up to my fireEmit1 okay. Let's see if this is going to show up. So here comes my little fire particles right there. I put some turbulence on them. Now let's see what this looks like.
Hopefully you'll have a faster machine. Wow! They are really blowing out fire. I bet if I take off the lights, they won't be as hot. Let's try it doing that. Still pretty hot. But you can adjust your little embers to taste. I just wanted to show you. Like I said before I would probably render my particles in different layers and take them into Compositor. I would render these separately and I might render my different smoke layer separately and take them into Compositor, and then I'd be able to adjust them the way that I wanted to adjust them, to the work the way I wanted too.
So hopefully you'll be able to play around with your velocity on your smoke, and play around with adding different layers of smoke, so that if you can increase its thickness. A long time ago when I first try to do fire I found out that the best way to do any kind of organic effect is to do it in layers and to render out many layers of it, and then composite it together rather than trying to get one render to do everything and have it work in one render.

Don Strange Ranch is open Tuesday–Sunday.

Don Strange of Texas
The low-hanging branches of southern live oak trees stretch out over the house and pavilion areas at Don Strange Ranch, dappling parties, weddings, and corporate team gatherings with splashes of sunlight. Since 1952, the 125-acre longhorn ranch in the Texas Hill Country has hosted myriad events, including scenes from the PBS music documentary series Live from the Artists Den and the wedding of country music stars Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton.
More than just a picturesque backdrop, the ranch's rugged natural surroundings host outdoor activities such as ropes courses and kayak trips down the Guadalupe River. And the friendly staffers who man 350- to 400-foot ziplines work to ease guests out of their comfort zones, like a mother bird pushing her young out of the nest for their first extreme base-jumping lesson.

Is it douchey for a college student to wear burberry dress shirts/ sportshirts?
they're like 150 dollars but they fit me better than other shirts. my mom thinks other kids will think I'm spoiled and at work (internship) other... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Not douchey.
It's rather sad. You have too much money to waste. It is spoiled and sounds like you don't know the value of money. Proper term is pretentious.
Purchase $50.00 shirts and donate the rest. A 50 dollar shirt is still very very nice.
After all it is the holiday season, Find one of those bell ringers and throw some money in the pot.
On the other hand if you are going to be a lawyer, politician or doctor I guess it's par for the course.
I suggest you volunteer at a meal service center for the underprivileged.
gotta be kidding me
It's not a joke.
What Girls Said 11
I don't see what's wrong with it, if it's what fits you well and looks nice there's no problem. If people judge you based on what you wear (whether it's Burberry or Target) THEY'RE the shallow ones, not you. But hey, if you are rolling in cash, there are tons of good charities you could donate to. No chance of being called a douche then!(:
I don't have any problems with it. If they care they are just jealous or shallow. Its like that for me and designer shoes. I cared at first, but I like them and that is why I bought them. So if they don't like it that is their opinion and to be honest I don't want to hang around people that would judge me so shallowly that they would be really affected by it. If you can afford it go for it, just don't bankrupt yourself.
Its not as expensive as you think.Many guys have and wear it and none of people hate them.You sound like a cocky dude who crave for attention.If you are handsome you will look good in whatever you wear but I guess you don't even look like any male celebs.So you won't look good in whatever you wear.Change your personality.
If you can afford it, go for it. Who cares if people judge you, when you are comfortable in the clothes and know they look great on you. To be fair, I probably wouldn't even know what brand they were... However If you go telling everyone without prompting 'look at my Burberry' then that's douchey.
What Guys Said 5
Wear what you like.
I'll note that you can get hong kong tailored made to measure shirts for under half that.
I own about 20 dress shirts. I think three are off the rack (though all have been taken in by a tailor).
Off the rack shirts only fit you if you're fat. Assume everything needs to be tailored.
Have an opinion?

July 7, 2015
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) - A Colorado State football player was taken to the hospital more than an hour after practice ended.
The player, whose name wasn't released, was taken by ambulance
to the hospital at about 5:30 p.m. Thursday. Colorado State athletics department spokesman Zak Gilbert says the school's medical staff took "all the necessary precautions" and didn't think the player's condition was life-threatening.
The Rams wrapped up about two hours of practice shortly after 4 p.m. The player was in the training room when the ambulance was called.
No more details about the player's condition and how it occurred were immediately released.

Instead of running his first marathon, Akil Defour of Brooklyn climbed 20 flights of stairs in a building without power or heat in Far Rockaway, Queens, to deliver water, blankets and peanut butter sandwiches.
"I knew I wanted to volunteer after they canceled the marathon," said Defour, 30, who put in five hours of work with his running team. "We decided it would be easier for us athletes to go up and down the buildings."
On Staten Island, where the marathon course begins, the runners with backpacks emerged from the ferry for a quick, emotional briefing.
"The devastation and damage you are about to wander into," said Staten Island resident Jonscott Turco, who paused, almost teary. "It's pretty extraordinary. The only thing I can prepare you for is they're still finding people, remains."
The landscape worsened as they approached the waterfront. Shuttered gas stations. Long gas lines, with people asleep in their cars.
One man honked and yelled, "There's no marathon! Go home!" But people standing outside one deli yelled encouragement: "Thank you, ladies!" ''God is good!"
Near the water, there were no traffic lights and far more sirens. Houses looked like they had been sacked. Furniture was in front yards, washing machines, TVs.
But one man came out of his home and asked if the runners had flashlights, and they did. At another house, a family wearing face masks asked for batteries and sweatshirts. They said, "God bless you." The man said, "Let me take your picture."
Mary Wittenberg, the president of the New York Road Runners, which organizes the marathon, helped deliver food to a Staten Island family whose house was heavily damaged. "There are so many more suffering in our community who need our collective, undivided attention and all the resources we can muster," the NYRR said in a statement Sunday.
For runner Hana Abdo, the scene was striking. When she found out the marathon had been canceled, "I was almost in tears because I've been training for two years," she said.
"But what is two years of my life to somebody's whole life?"

A computational model for cell/ECM growth on 3D surfaces using the level set method: a bone tissue engineering case study

Three dimensional (3D) open porous scaffolds are commonly used in tissue engineering (TE) applications to provide an initial template for cell attachment and subsequent cell growth and construct development. The macroscopic geometry of the scaffold is key in determining the kinetics of cell growth and thus in vitro 'tissue' formation. In this study we developed a computational framework based on the level set methodology to predict curvature-dependent growth of the cell/extracellular matrix domain within TE constructs. Scaffolds with various geometries (hexagonal, square, triangular) and pore sizes (500 and 1000 µm) were produced in house by additive manufacturing, seeded with human periosteum-derived cells and cultured under static conditions for 14 days. Using the projected tissue area as an output measure, the comparison between the experimental and the numerical results demonstrated a good qualitative and quantitative behavior of the framework. The model in its current form is able to provide important spatio-temporal information on final shape and speed of pore-filling of tissue engineered constructs by cells and extracellular matrix during static culture.

Successful clinical repair of non-healing skeletal defects requires the use of bone substitutes with robust bone inductivity and excellent biomechanical stability. Thus, three-dimensionally functionalised porous calcium phosphate-Ti6Al4V (CaP-Ti) hybrids were produced by perfusion electrodeposition, and the in vitro and in vivo biological performances were evaluated using human periosteum derived cells (hPDCs). By applying various current densities at the optimised deposition conditions, CaP coatings with sub-micrometer to nano-scale porous crystalline structures and different ion dissolution kinetics were deposited on the porous Ti6Al4V scaffolds. These distinctive physicochemical properties caused a significant impact on in vitro proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and matrix mineralisation of hPDCs. This includes a potential role of hPDCs in mediating osteoclastogenesis for the resorption of CaP coatings, as indicated by a significant down-regulation of osteoprotegerin (OPG) gene expression and by the histological observation of abundant multi-nucleated giant cells near to the coatings. By subcutaneous implantation, the produced hybrids induced ectopic bone formation, which was highly dependent on the physicochemical properties of the CaP coating (including the Ca(2+) dissolution kinetics and coating surface topography), in a cell density-dependent manner. This study provided further insight on stem cell-CaP biomaterial interactions, and the feasibility to produced bone reparative units that are predictively osteoinductive in vivo by perfusion electrodeposition technology.

So yea I have basically lived in a mainly black society most of my life and I am white. Right now I am about 5% of the population at the school. Honestly I get really aggrivated about the whole racial thing that goes on. I don't have that much of a problem though since I am not racist and have dated black people and lots of people seem to like me. Although I have had friends with racial problems around here. Some guys just tell me I am black stuck in a white body I'm not sure how to take that lol but whatever.
Im just curious how do things go around your school or society?
See I am one of the few white people that actually sit at other tables than the "white table" I think its good to be accepting of others colors because honestly I don't care what color you are. What do you guys think about different races?
*remember this is a mature conversation. Please nobody get offended by anything anyone says and be mature about how you approach this.*

Hayato Furinji, the superman of HDSK. versus The invincible Hulk, who wins?
Both are bloodthirsty. Hayato isn't very famous, so I'll try to post as much feats he has shown in the manga.
Hayato using only 0.0002% of his power can:
Rip trees
Flip over tanks
Kick so fast that high-speed cameras at 1000x normal speed cannot capture his foot movement
Palm-strike thick steel walls of a ship so hard that the entire ship shakes
Run 200 to 300 miles on top of the sea in just a few minutes
And that's only using 0.0002%, I think he has a chance of winning againts Hulk. What do you guys think?
