Re: program the coolrunner via lpt
red led is the manual one? thats orange, unless you mean modeB, so turn it off
ensure you're on the right port
ensure all connections are correct
- The three most dangerous things in the world are a programmer with a soldering iron, a hardware engineer with a software patch, and a user with an idea.

Book Review: Metasploit The Penetration Tester's Guide 24 24
eldavojohn writes "The Metasploit Framework has come a long way and currently allows just about anyone to configure and execute exploits effortlessly. Metasploit: The Penetration Tester's Guide takes current documentation further and provides a valuable resource for people who are interested in security but don't have the time or money to take a training class on Metasploit. The highlights of the book rest on the examples provided to the reader as exercises in exploiting several older versions of operating systems like Windows XP and Ubuntu while at the same time avoiding triggering antivirus or detection. The only weak point of this book is that a couple chapters refer the reader to external texts (on stacks and registers) in order to meet requirements for crafting exploits. The book also gives the reader a brief warning on ethics as many of these exploits and techniques would most likely work on many sites and networks. If you're wondering how seemingly inexperienced groups like lulzsec constantly claim victims, this would be an excellent read." Keep reading for the rest of eldavojohn's review.In 2007, Metasploit was migrated from Perl to Ruby. The book opens with a brief history of the framework and mentions this but does not address any complaints of performance loss. Instead, the authors argues that this increased contributions and adoptions. As a result, all the code in this book (which the exception of some SQL payloads) is written in Ruby. If you don't know Ruby but you know many other languages, it's a fairly simple language to pick up.
|Metasploit The Penetration Tester's Guide
|David Kennedy, Jim O'Gorman, Devon Kearns, and Mati Aharoni
|No Starch Press, Inc.
|A thorough guide to penetration testing with the Metasploit Framework.
The first chapter of this book clearly indicates that the objective is to empower white hat hackers and researchers. They lay down a predefined set of phases that one takes while pen testing a target. They are Pre-engagement Interactions, Intelligence Gathering, Threat Modeling, Vulnerability Analysis, Exploitation, Post Exploitation and Reporting. Chapter two covers the terminology that is used across the Metasploit Framework so if you're unfamiliar with concepts like 'shellcode' or 'payload' this chapter will set you straight. It also mentions a UI for Metasploit called Armitrage but my personal tastes kept me using the minimal MSFConsole and MSFcli.
Chapter three begins to cover intelligence gathering and covers everything from the basic whois tool to writing your own custom scanner. The chapter does a great job of carefully explaining in detail the difference between passive and active scanning. The stealth TCP scan that nmap provides was a new thing for me and the chapter also details how Metasploit can use several database technologies to record and store the results of your scans to be used later on. The chapter shows how to use Metasploit to scan ports, server message blocks, MS SQL servers, SSH servers, FTP and simple network management protocol sweeping. Most of these techniques are a few quick commands in Metasploit's console and with Ruby mixins the chapter illustrates how to write your own scanner for use in Metasploit in about 20 lines of code. But all of this is just to get a grasp of what's up and running on the server.
Chapter four starts to get interesting with actual vulnerability scanning. Banner grabbing is an important technique in pen testing and the book suggests using NeXpose community edition (also a Rapid7 tool). This is covered in more detail in the appendix but NeXpose is a web GUI interface for scanning, storing and managing site scans. This provides great reporting features, it's intuitive and reduces everything to point-and-click for the user. But luckily this tool can also be run from the console (something I preferred). The chapter also covers another popular scanner called Nessus and shows to import the results to Metasploit for use. The chapter also includes noisy options like SMB login scanning or just looking for open VNC or X11 servers. Mentioned here first (but also frequently later in the book) is Back|Track for connecting to such targets. Something neat about this chapter is that if you don't care that your target knows you're attacking them, you can just move from these results collected with NeXpose, Nessus or OpenVAS and drop them into the 'autopwn' tool in Metasploit. It's three commands on the console and apparently works more often than it should.
Chapter five familiarizes the reader with the MSFConsole and its basic commands like showing all the exploits, payloads and targets available in the Metasploit Framework installed. These are constantly updated and maintained so they often change. With that information, the chapter proceeds to step the reader through an exploit in a Windows XP SP2 (MS08-067) and then a Samba exploit in Ubuntu 9.04.
Chapter six spices things up by introducing Meterpreter that extends the Metasploit Framework to serve a shell to the exploited system and from there perform additional attacks. The chapter shows how to brute force an MS SQL server and use the stored procedure xp_cmdshell to gain remote access. Meterpreter has a lot of neat features like keystroke logging, capturing screenshots and dumping password hashes (including the pass-the-hash technique). Simple commands in meterpreter can allow the user to easily and effortlessly accomplish many things: privilege escalation, token impersonation, pivoting to another system, process migration, killing antivirus software, system scraping, the list goes on. The chapter finishes by briefly mentioning an intriguing tool called Railgun that I wish they had spent more time on.
Chapter seven covers avoiding antivirus detection through tools like msfencode (to avoid your exploit being fingerprinted). Even better is encoding it many many times. If you know what antivirus your target uses, you can simply run the antivirus on your encoded exploit on your local machine to see if it's picked up. The chapter also covers the basics on continuing normal execution of a backdoored executable and packers that compress an executable for you with decompression code built in.
The book gets progressively more technical with chapter eight focusing on client side attacks. The chapter covers the NOP slide technique and also introduces the Immunity Debugger. It covers the Internet Explorer Aurora Exploit (MS10.002) as an end of chapter exercise for the reader to do. Chapter nine takes a quite look at Metasploit's auxiliary modules that allow the user to do many other things than just exploits. They run through the source of a mischievous Foursquare Location Poster that can make you appear to be everywhere on Foursquare. They also cover heap spraying attacks in web browsers — a topic that was particularly discomforting for me considering how long I often leave my browser open for.
Chapter ten was probably one of the more boring for me but a very important tool for pen testers. It shows how to turn the Metasploit Framework into a social exploitation tool that can be used to send templated e-mails to distribution lists. The intent of this, of course, is to get one user in a large company to click on a site that looks like their company's homepage and perhaps enter their credentials. By just selecting from lists of options, you can create java applet exploits that appear to be legitimately signed, clone a website like gmail and harvest credentials, tabnabbing, webjacking, man-left-in-the-middle and finally mixing those all together in a multipronged attack. The next chapter is just more exploits via Fast-Track (an open source Python based tool that builds on top of Metasploit).
Chapter twelve covers Karmetasploit, a Metasploit implementation of the wireless security tool Karma. The strategy of this exploit is to present your machine as a wireless access point. When a user connects, you can use karmetasploit to host fake webpages and grab their credentials or even gain shell access through a client side attack. Knowing how frequently people attach to anything in coffee shops and airports, this sort of attack could be particularly brutal and extremely easy to execute given Metasploit's simplicity for users.
The final chapters do an okay job of showing you how to first build your own module for Metasploit in chapter thirteen. Then in fourteen, the book looks at building your own exploit and goes into detail about fuzzing applications on your local machine and using the Immunity Debugger to look at what's happening given the fuzzed input. What follows is a lengthy discussion of the Structured Exception Handler (SEH) and the Next SEH (NSEH) and how you can manipulate registers and utilize JMPs to hit a NOP slide into your shellcode. This is one of the longest and most complicated chapters with probably the most technically intensive writing. I would like to see further editions of this book expand on things like this as it was important for me as a software developer to understand how these attacks are manufactured.
Chapter fifteen was similar to fourteen but showed how to port exploits to the metasploit framework. This chapter covers more so the general guidelines for writing exploits for the metasploit framework and doing it so that you leverage metasploit's flexibility. Chapter sixteen covers the scripting abilities of meterpreter and customizing that to execute further exploits once you have access to a target machine with meterpreter.
The final chapter brings the key steps together for a simulated penetration testing of a preconfigured system with web server (the book lists the Pirate Bay as a source of this torrent). As you work through this chapter, the phases of pen testing are exercised with all the aforementioned strategies employed.
This book was a real eye opener to read for a software developer. I haven't done formal pen testing aside from testing my own code so a lot of these advanced concepts were new to me. I enjoyed how the code was laid out with circled numbers marking code (instead of every line being numbered) that were referenced later in the text. I hope future editions of this book provide progressively more and more material as there's clearly a lot of sections that are condensed into a few paragraphs but could be expanded upon almost endlessly. I'm glad this sort of tool didn't exist during my younger more mischievous years as this book demonstrates that it could be used for gaining access to just about anything (depending on how much free time and skill you have).

The junior high basketball season got underway last Monday as all county teams came to Adamsville Jr./Sr. High School to get their season started at the annual Tip-Off Classic.
Teams played two 10-minute games where the clock ran continuously until the final minute when called fouls yielded free throw attempts. Girls teams began the action and were followed by the boys as all the teams, with the exception of the hosting Cardinals, played back-to-back games.

Look around with an open mind
Love's everywhere you go
Two lovers walking hand in hand
Cuddling in the picture show
Always and ever been a fact of life
Keeps earth a-spinning around
Without it, we'd all just fade away
Spirits would be heaven bound
Here's three cheers, may it last forever
To help us all through the strife
A common thread that binds us tight
The main ingredient in life
In a hundred years or so from now
The answer will still be love
Been a real optimist all my life
Putting love all else above
Look around with an open mind
Love's everywhere you go

Valiant for Truth

Sometimes some of the best books go out of print, but then again sometimes those books are reprinted, giving them new life and a new readership. The republication of William Perkins' (1558-1602) A Golden Chain is definitely a book worthy of reading. To say the least, Perkins' influence in his own day was significant. He was one of the leading Reformed theologians of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, whether in his native England or on the continent. Perkins wrote a number of works but perhaps none so famous as his Golden Chain.

Samuel Rutherford (1600? - 61) may not be a household name in our own day, but in the seventeenth-century Rutherford was a theological giant among the Lilliputians. Rutherford was one of the Scottish advisors to the Westminster Assembly, as they were sent to give counsel and participate in the debates but were not allowed to vote.

|Facial Toner
|IQ Derma
|Dr. Renaud High Protection Sunblock SPF 30
|Meaningful Beauty
If there is one thing that most dermatologists and skin care experts recommend, it is to use sunscreen every day you go outdoors. This is due to the serious havoc the sun can wreak on your skin. As you may already know, damaging UV rays lead to fine lines, hyper pigmentation, brown patches, wrinkles, and even skin cancer. This is why it is crucial to apply a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher. Sunscreens can be acquired from local drugstores, beauty shops, supercenters, and even online. One option is Dr. Renaud High Protection Sunblock SPF 30. This $44 face and body formula is okay for women and men alike.
Product Details
Dr. Renaud High Protection Sunblock SPF 30 is a daily skin care formula for people of all skin types. This product should be applied 30 minutes prior to going outdoors. This allows the SPF protection to form on the skin. Unlike some sunscreens, this product is supposed to go on easily, and not irritate sensitive skin types. It aims to diminish surface lines and wrinkles, hydrate the skin, prevent further sun damage, and soothe redness/irritation. Although very minimal information is provided on the official website, a full list of ingredients for this product is provided on distributor websites.
Titanium Dioxide is the sunblock found in this skin care product. This key ingredient may help prevent signs of aging, such as hyper pigmentation, wrinkles, fine lines, and free radical damage. Pea Extract is also used in this sunblock, and it benefits the skin by firming. Squalane is added to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while Meadowfoam Seed Oil is incorporated to hydrate. Khaya Senegalensis Bark Extract reduces skin inflammation and soothes irritation, and Glycerin moisturizes the dermis to prevent dryness. Vitamin E is also found in Dr. Renaud High Protection Sunblock SPF 30.
The Good
- This skin care formula is okay for the face and body.
- Dr. Renaud High Protection Sunblock SPF 30 provides protection from UVA and UVB rays.
The Bad
- If you have sensitive skin, the artificial fragrance in this product might lead to irritation.
- There are drugstore sunscreens that sell for much less.
- This sunscreen is not resistant to sweat and water.
The Bottom Line
With so many sunscreens on the market at this point, we do not recommend that you spend $44 on Dr. Renaud High Protection Sunblock SPF 30. First of all, you can find products with similar ingredients for under $20. Secondly, you may prefer a sunscreen with a higher SPF for daily use. Either way, you should certainly do some shopping around before trying a product like Dr. Renaud High Protection Sunblock SPF 30.

I'm not about to go back and forth about whose the greatest because I come from 90's rap where Biggie, Jay-Z, and Nas ruled the game and New York was where Hip Hop ruled. Fast forward many, many years later and new group of young fish are planting their name in the hip hop history books unfortunately only a handful of those new fish are making any noise in the water….
Until today…
Kendrick Lamar came out swinging declaring himself the King of New York and I'm sure by now you've all heard or at least seen the destructive lyrical blow KDot delivered to some of his industry besties. Long story short the track ("Control") didn't make Big Sean's album deadline because of sample clearance and he decided to drop the song last night to which the social media world went into compulsions of epic proportions.
One thing is for sure Kendrick Lamar has put some well-known MC's on notice (Drake, Meek Mill, Wale, Big Sean, Jay Electronica, A$ap, J.Cole) which prompted Va spitfire Pusha T to tweet in response to the fire record:
"I hear u loud and clear my nigga… @kendricklamar"
Whoa… a few other people decided to jump into the melee but you know controversy always brings out the roaches and has beens….anyway check out the track 'Control' below. Big Sean featuring Kendrick Lamar & Jay Electronica below.
New school rappers/MC's step your game up. Lets make hip hop interesting again!

DANBURY -- Danbury police are looking for a man who robbed a pizza shop employee over the weekend, a department spokesman said.
The suspect, who was wearing a white T-shirt, blue jeans and a baseball cap, was described as a white male, 6 feet to 6-feet-2-inches tall, said Police Lt. Christian Carroccio.
Police said the man walked into Speedy Pizza at 134 West St., around 1 a.m. Sunday, pulled a gun on an employee and demanded money. The employee complied, Carroccio said, and the robber fled westbound on West Street with an undisclosed amount of money.
No further details were available. Anyone with information about the robbery is urged to call detectives at 203-797-2165.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. HistoryThe first actual fighting game super meter was found in Samurai Shodown. Appearing on the bottom of the screen, both characters had one, and it filled up as a character took damage, rather than dealing damage like most later fighting games.The game that named and popularized the mechanic was Super Street Fighter II Turbo. Appearing on the bottom of the screen, the super meter filled up as a character dealt damage. When full, a character could use a super combo; a beefed-up version of one of their regular special moves. These were, and still are, usually performed by doing a specific motion twice on the joystick, followed by the corresponding button (as in two quarter circle forward motions in a row instead of just one). At first, this seemed rather difficult to most players, but over time it became just as natural to every fighting game player as throwing a simple fireball.Evolution & VariationsCapcom has modified their super meter over the years through various games. In the Alpha series, the meter now had three stages, number accordingly. Characters could use one, two, or all three sections of their meter for their super combo and the move (along with damage) performed would depend on how much of the meter was put into it. While many of the character's super combos could be initiated with just the first portion of the gauge full, some moves such as Akuma's infamous "Raging Demon" attack, required all three.Being a staple in fighting games, it's no surprise that just about every fighting game developer includes some sort of super meter into their games. Some notable variations include:Samurai Shodown: The "Damage" Meter - This meter would only fill when the character took damage. When full, the character would appear red with rage, indicating that they were ready to perform a super combo. Later games in the series allowed the player to put their character into different modes, much like the King of Fighters franchise.King of Fighters: The "Stock" Meter - Another SNK original, the gauge here fills the same way as in other games, but the difference lies in the execution. Up to three stocks could be saved up, and then activated by hitting the B and D buttons at the same time. This would make the character more powerful, allow them to cancel special moves, and use what was usually their "ultimate" super combos. Super combos done without activating a stock would be quicker, yet weaker.Guilty Gear (X): The "Aggression" Meter - Probably the most fast-paced and often used meter of them all, the gauge in the GG series fills up when any sort of aggressive act is performed, such as running towards the opponent, jumping towards them, and of course, hitting them. The aggression meter is often used throughout the entire round, as it can be used for things other than super combos, such as a block that takes no damage.

Sept. 16, 2008
By Phil Landry
Special to GoHolyCross.com
Alejandro Melean's success on the soccer field has been a staple of his career at Holy Cross. Named tri-captain of the team this season, as well as receiving first team All-Patriot League honors last season, Melean has had a positive impact on the Crusaders' soccer program. However, in talking to the senior from Miami, Fla., his true passion lies in service away from the soccer field.
This past summer, Melean had the opportunity to travel to Brazil and work at the Monte Alegre School, a school for underprivileged children in São Paulo. Monte Alegre was a flourishing sugar mill community until the mills were closed in the 1970s. The school closed soon thereafter and sat empty until it was renovated and reopened in 2006 by Melean's family friends. "They invite kids aged five to nine and give them scholarships to attend," said Melean. "These kids come from poverty and really bad family situations in which many of them have been physically and sexually abused. There are two psychologists that come about two times a week and my family friends thought it would be a good experience for me."
Melean was first inspired due to the influence of his father. "When my Dad was my age he went to study in the city of São Paulo for two years and he speaks fluent Portuguese," said Melean. "It's something that I've always wanted to do, to visit the beautiful country of Brazil and see the different culture. I've never been to a country where they speak a different language and I've always wanted to learn Portuguese."
Upon his arrival, he was met with some initial challenges with the Portuguese language and Brazilian culture. "I've heard my Dad speak Portuguese since I was young, so I understood a lot of the words. But it is a lot different hearing your Dad speak a language and then going into complete culture shock," said Melean. "Within two weeks I was picking up on the language and within two months I could carry a conversation with my Brazilian friends."
While Melean was fascinated by the culture and language of Brazil, his work with the children of the Monte Alegre School left him with a lasting impression. "I spent everyday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. with the kids. The relationships I developed with them and the teachers were amazing. Each of the kids has their own story, some of them are heartbreaking."
Melean found his work difficult, but one of the most rewarding experiences of his life. "I wanted to be careful about becoming attached, but it was impossible. They see you everyday, I would walk into a room and they would scream my name and come give me a hug."
One child named Cassia inspired Melean in particular. "She was seven years old and she wouldn't speak a word to her teachers or any of the other kids. She would keep to herself," said Melean. "Hopefully she will emerge from her shell as she spends more time in the program."
Living and working in a country obsessed with soccer, Melean found it impossible to escape the game he loves. "Everyday the kids would mention who their favorite team was," said Melean. The kids also had an opportunity to experience Alejandro's talent. "I'm involved with soccer freestyling so I put on a juggling show. The kids all had big smiles on their faces."
The Brazilian children's inspiration, as well as the extra practice, may very well have affected Melean's game. In the team's opener, he scored the deciding goal in a 1-0 victory over Massachusetts, which was ranked 13th in the nation at the time. He was named the Patriot League Defensive Player of the Week for his effort in the shutout. "It was an amazing feeling and a great way to start out the season," said Melean.
Melean's experience at the Monte Alegre School will stay with him forever and has also shaped his plans for the future. "It has shown me not to take anything for granted. These kids have nothing, and the Monte Alegre School was giving them opportunities that they would never have. It makes me want to help kids in those types of situations. I've been thinking about becoming a counselor or a child psychologist."
The Monte Alegre School is run through the BR-111 Foundation, a cause that Melean hopes to remain involved with. "They invited me back whenever I want. I told them that a lot of my friends here at Holy Cross would be interested in doing what I did. Maybe it is something that I can get other people to do."
"The foundation runs on whatever people put into it," said Melean. "If anyone could go on the website and make a small donation I'd be so thankful." Donations to the BR-111 Foundation can be made at www.br111foundation.org.

LAFAYETTE - Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen today announced that the Wisconsin Department of Justice has settled an environmental lawsuit in Lafayette County Circuit Court. The State of Wisconsin brought this case against Steven Humphrey for violations of state air pollution laws.
Humphrey openly burned scrap metal, tires, metal car parts, auto parts including a bench seat, and treated lumber, among other things, on the property. He also had no license to operate a solid waste facility where he burned these items. He agreed to pay $2,500 in forfeitures.
"The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the Wisconsin Department of Justice take these violations seriously because the public expects our air pollution laws to be followed," Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen said.
The case was investigated by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Wisconsin Assistant Attorney General Mary Batt represented the state. La Fayette County Circuit Court Judge William D. Johnston approved the settlement on May 21, 2009.

This is your average KOA. Nightly rate includes value card discount. About 2/3 of the sites are occupied by permanent or semi-permanent residents but they are in the back section of the park. We reserved a pull-through site in advance but were told it was not available when we arrived. It appears that the campground doesn't actually have pull-through sites as advertised. You pull through into your site from the site behind you. If that site is occupied then your pull-through site becomes a back-in site. Management was accommodating and very apologetic and got me into my site without disconnecting my toad. Trash dumpsters were inconveniently located outside the park gate on the entrance road. Wi-Fi and Verizon cell worked OK. Park is located about five miles off of the interstate and you need to follow the directions on the website, depending which direction you are traveling. We probably wouldn't stay here again. - Tennessee Guy

Very friendly staff, clean park, nice swimming pool, but not a lot else to do. We also reserved a specific campsite but upon arrival was "escorted" to a different site, far away from the friends we were camping with. Told by the manager that there was a mistake made, and that there were only a few alternatives; they tried to work with us, but unfortunately the options weren't to our satisfaction. Our camping neighbors had a pitbull that would charge, growl, and bark whenever anyone walked by, drove, by, etc, starting at 6am until middle of the night. It even charged one of their employees. But since it was a "friend" of the owner, all we were told was that the dog was a big teddy bear, and wouldn't hurt anyone (famous last words). Anyway, my kids were scared to leave the trailer because of the dog, and I was afraid to have them anywhere near there. Spent a lot of time in the trailer. Very disappointing response, especially when it states in the "rules" about aggressive animals. Would not recommend this campground, due to the reservation issue, the animal issue, and the lack of activities (hiking was a walk around a pond). - happycamper1002
Sep 2013 - $32.00
While the staff was very friendly and helpful, we were taken aback when the staff member leading us to our site asked where we had been placed. When we told him, he asked if we would object to being placed in a site that was level. Given that, and the fact that they are so far off the beaten path and damned near impossible to retrace your steps to the Interstate, we wouldn't return. Unless, like this visit, we needed a place to stay, that had decent reviews and was in the time frame that we needed for our trip. - DavidKSmith

Zantrex 3 Power Crystals Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Zantrex-3 Power Crystals are a drink based weight loss supplement flavored a tasty orange. The supplement is sold from the official Zantrex-3 website. A new development, however, is the availability of an auto-ship program Zantrex refers to as the Preferred Customer Plan. Zantrex-3 Power Crystals claim to increase energy, reduce appetite, and focus attention.
List of Ingredients
Zantrex-3 Proprietary Blend: Yerba Mate, Guarana, Caffeine, Damiana Extract, Green Tea Leaf, Kola Nut, Schizonepeta, Black Pepper, Rhodiola Crenulata, Asian Ginseng, Maca Root, Cocoa Seed and Black Tea.
Product Features
Green tea and caffeine are two of the most common ingredients included in natural weight loss supplements and this product is no different. There are other common names like Guarana, Yerba Mate and Kola Nut – all with some sort of stimulant effect in the body. There is also a bit of black tea thrown in for even more caffeine. Damiana is a mood altering herb, which is becoming more common in the weight loss industry to counteract the effects of stimulants. If you have to calm down the body because the heart is racing too much, is the product really safe?
Black pepper is thought to increase metabolism and does have some research backing these claims. Zantrex-3 power Crystals lists no such research. Zantrex-3 Power Crystals pack in some Ginseng for mental clarity to round out the ingredients.
Even if the ingredient list were packed with the best ingredients, the FAQs section would turn the review negative in a second flat. According to the Zantrex-3 FAQs, "Zantrex-3 Power Crystals reduces caloric intake automatically." There is no way a supplement can automatically reduce caloric intake. Only a human can reduce caloric intake. The supplement sells for $29 from the website and dieters can choose an auto-ship program if they like.
The supplement is sold in powder form and can be dissolved in water or other liquid for consumption. Liquid supplements tend to work more quickly in the body due to the fact that no outer casing or tablet must be broken down in the stomach. This does not mean, however, that Zantrex-3 Power Crystals is an effective fat burning supplement.
- Caffeine and green tea are ingredients we like – and they are proven to work.
- The price is lower than other comparable supplements.
- The supplement promises to reduce caloric intake, which it cannot do.
- There are multiple supplements and some mood altering ingredients.
- Every ingredient is part of a proprietary blend.
The best weight loss supplements are ones that provide strong testimonials, reveal at least some of the ingredients and make promises the supplement can keep. Zantrex-3 Power Crystals does none of those things. We choose to withhold our support for this product, but it lacks support for itself.

The Atlanta Braves Country Caravan stopped in the CSRA Thursday. Three players first baseman Freddie Freeman, shortstop Tyler Pastornicky and right-handed pitcher J.R. Graham visited with wounded military members at Charlie Norwood VA Hospital in Augusta.
ASTV was on hand to document the entire visit. Footage of the event can be seen on the latest edition of Carolina Outdoors Presents: On the Sports Front, which will be broadcast throughout the week on Atlantic broadband channel 95, and expanded coverage will be available tonight online at www2.aikenstandard.com/astv/onthesportsfront.
The visit was a chance for the young role models to interact with servicemen and hospital staff and meet individuals they look up to literally.
As part of the visit, the baseball players toured the Active Duty Rehab Unit and got to see some of the equipment used during physical therapy. One of the items was a large rock-climbing wall in a hospital courtyard that the three Braves saw a vision-impaired veteran scale before each mounted their own climb to the top. They signed autographs, posed for pictures and spread good will during their visit before hitting the road for their next stop.
Its always a special time to come out an visit the wounded warriors, Freeman said. Anything we can do to give back and put a smile on their face.
The Braves Country Caravan will continue to roll through the Southeast for another week. In total, Braves players, coaches, broadcasters and front office staff will travel nearly 3,000 miles to meet and greet fans prior to taking off for Spring Training.
Its fun to see the fans come out all over the Southeast. We always want to give back, said Freeman, whos looking forward to the start of spring training and the 2013 season. Its going to be a lot of fun this year. We hope to put together a season like last year. We want to make the World Series and win the World Series.

Starfish CONNECT Support
New! Starfish News and Notes for December 2012
New! Have you switched to Office 2010 and need to set up Starfish? Download the setup document!
New! Use Starfish Refer and To-Do Tracking Items to help your students succeed.
- Raise a Starfish Referral or To-Do Tracking item to encourage students to take advantage of a student services resource and schedule an appointment.
What is Starfish Connect?
Starfish CONNECT provides a new way to connect students to their advisors, instructors, and student services resources.
Why is UC offering this service?
Connecting students with advisors, instructors and other services has been shown to contribute to student success, learning and satisfaction.
Important note about protecting the privacy of student records
Blackboard and Starfish users are reponsible for knowing and adhering to University policy, state and federal law regarding protecting the privacy of student records. Follow the links below for more important information:
Office of the University Registrar FERPA and Privacy information
University of Cincinnati Data Protection Policy
The appropriate use of Blackboard and Starfish by those with a "legitimate educational interest"
Student education records (such as grades) accessible through Blackboard and Starfish are protected by FERPA from both inappropriate access and release. Under FERPA, a university official may gain access to student education records only if that individual has a "legitimate educational interest" in that information; that is to say, the individual needs the education record(s) to discharge his or her official UC responsibilities. Blackboard and Starfish, when used for advising purposes, therefore should be used by UC personnel only when performing individual advising work for a student. For example, accessing the education record of a student who is enrolled in the advisor's class, but who is not also the instructor's advisee, would not fall under "legitimate educational interest" and so would not be FERPA compliant. An advising relationship that meets the requirements of legitimate education interest can be defined formally, when a student is assigned to an advisor by the department or dean's office or informally, when a student outside a department or college needs advising that requires access to the student's education record.
Is there a cost for students or departments?
The university has purchased a license for all students, staff, faculty and administrators.
How do I get started?
Log into Blackboard and click the Starfish link under My UC>Tools or My Advisor. Instructors and advisors can make an office hours or advising appointment calendar available and add the Starfish Tool Link to their Bb course or organization.
Where do I go for help?
Advisor Resources in the University Registrar's Office is providing support. Call us at (513) 556-5422 8:00-5:00 M-F, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com, stop by University Pavilion, 5th Floor. Quick Help Tutorial handouts are linked below.

Women's and Men's Swim Teams Finish Second and Third at SCIAC Championships, and Set 8 New Sagehen Records
The SCIAC season dual and conference meets ended very successfully for the Pomona-Pitzer Men's and Women's Swimming and Diving teams. The women tied for second place with the University of Redlands, while the men held off challenges from Cal Lutheran and Occidental with a last day flourish to hold on to third place. Adding to the luster of the SCIAC meet were 24 top three finishes, which designate the finishers as members of the select All-SCIAC swim team.
Eight new Pomona-Pitzer records were set during the finals: Kristin Lindbergh '12 in the 50 and 100 freestyles; Naomi Laporte '10, who bettered her own records in the 100 and 200 butterflies; Max Scholten '12 in the 200 backstroke; David Henderson '09, who erased two 22-year-old records in the 500 and 1000 freestyle; and the team of Kimi Ide-Foster PI'10, Kathleen Hall '09, Michelle Prokocki '09, and Janelle Gyorffy '09 in the 200 medley relay.
Lindbergh, Laporte and Scholten all met NCAA consideration standards, and are training and waiting for the final determination on March 5 to see if they advance to the NCAA III championships in Minneapolis.

LG G Pad
The LG G Pad is said to be an 8.3 inch "retinal" tablet, and it gets that classification thanks to a reported 1920 x 1200 resolution. That would put this thing in line with the 2013 Nexus 7 in terms of resolution, though the pixel density is obviously a bit lower thanks to its larger screen size. Still, it would probably look quite remarkable. Other specs of this "G Pad" would include a quad-core processor of some sort, as well as 2GB of RAM.

Sixth Annual Dugout Central Challenge
by KerryWhisnant
Who are the best teams? Who are the worst teams? And just how good or bad are they?
Members of the Dugout Central staff and readers are again challenged to predict the number of wins in the regular season for each of the thirty major league baseball teams in the Sixth Annual Dugout Central Challenge.
It requires an in-depth knowledge of all thirty teams to accurately predict the number of wins for every team – a lot more than for picking division winners and a wild card team for each league. Relative strengths within the division, within the league and between leagues also come into play. Strength of schedule is another factor. And key injuries can upset even the best predictions.
Same as last year, there will be two contests this year, one using the average win difference (AWD) and the other using root mean square difference (RMSD) between the predictions and the actual win totals on September 29 — or later if there are make-up games played after that.
For example, if you predict that the Dodgers will win 98 and the Cardinals 94, but it turns out to be 93 and 96, respectively, you are off by a total of 7 games for those two teams (5 for Los Angeles and 2 for St. Louis), and the AWD is 3.50. The RMSD would be the square root of (25 + 4)/2 = 14.5, or about 3.81. The average win difference does not penalize picks that are far off the mark as much as RMSD does.
Any unplayed games will be assigned wins according to the team's winning percentage. For example, a team is 96-64 and doesn't make up two games. They have a winning percentage of .600, and so those two make-up games will be worth 1.2 wins, for a total of 97.2. Tie-break games will count — the final winning percentage will be prorated to 162 games. Hence, in 2009 the Twins (87-76) were rated at 86.47 wins and the Tigers (86-77) at 85.47 wins.
Last year I swept the Fifth Annual Dugout Central Challenge for both average win difference and root mean square difference; it was my fourth victory in five years using RMSD.
As usual the contest will be opened up to readers as well Dugout Central staff. If the number of entrants gets too large, I will cap the number of reader entries at some point, but I don't anticipate that happening. Entries must be submitted by the official opening day, 7 PM CDT, Sunday, March 30, to firstname.lastname@example.com. Once you submit an entry, you may change it before the deadline if there is a significant injury or roster change that affects your prediction — or even if you just have second thoughts. The two games played in Australia will be freebies – you don't have to submit picks before them.
This will not be an empty exercise, to be forgotten once the season starts. Updates will be provided periodically throughout the year using winning percentages, and contest entrants will be held accountable at the end of the season. So there's nowhere to hide, and may the best prognosticator win!

Hello friends!
I love being in the mountains! We've had a very busy spring and summer already and I have been really looking forward to some time to head out to my mountains, breathe in some fresh mountain air, hike, learn more about all the incredible things found in nature and just enjoy the simplicity of life in the campground! I love all the beautiful gifts nature has to offer, I love being outside and being able to see, hear, smell, taste and touch it all!!! Do you have a place that just feels like home? A place where you just feel re-juvenated and re-newed? Whether you can go there physically — or just dream about your next visit there — I hope you'll take a moment and soak in some of the magic that your favorite place holds for you!!
My Magic:
* Time to re-energize and re-connect with myself and my family
* Sunshine, warm weather and summertime fun
* Watching my son and his teammates play hard at their games then having fun with a 'water' practice this week
* Hiking, sleeping in our new tent and evenings by the fire
* Good friends that I can rely on and that rely on me
* Sending healing vibes to my grandfather who is healing right now — and being in awe of the long, healthy life he's been living
* My boys — I am just always so proud to be their mom and I love spending time with them
* My beloved being on 'holidays' and having so much fun with him
* Loving — with all of my being
I hope you have a super-great weekend! I wish you all much love and joy on this beautiful Friday!!! Much love and magic coming your way!!! :)

Suma, would it be possible to host a webinterface on the OFP mainpage where you can enter a key and check if it is valid or fake? Still not perfect, but you might narrow down who is is a wolf in sheep's clothing before a mission starts and kick the suspected badguys before they try anything. Of course this still won't stop people using valid IDs from other players but it would be a bit of a help perhaps.
I think a possibility of checking whether an ID is valid or not isn't a good idea. It could be misused...

Other questions:
How long does it take to see the message
Remember original games do not fade
if player uses invalid ID???
Is there a range or fixed timeout or will it be visible exactly after he connected?
And how many minutes does it take to get auto kicked after recieving this message above?
When will the check start to work?
When I'am connected or even when I'm still connecting?

I'm quite confident that the linux version will follow shortly
Bellum pacis pater
If it is text, why not use NTFS Compression on the log file.
Should reduce the size by quite a margin.
Also maybe RAR it using a batch file between runs.
What about the linux version with the command debug?
Ofp is really a great game, but the server (at least in linux) is really.. awful:
1. installing WWII it crashed at startup because a bad texture aspect ratio... I had to make a script to check each pbo in order to find the problematic one. 2 hours spent (or wasted because server didn't print the pbo with the error)
2. Starting some missions fails without any reason "apparently", or a message is printed saying that you have a lack of some addon (although it is there). addons dependecies not shown correctly (or not shown at all).
3. Lack of documentation: our clan had to search in different forums to find some things like remove 3rd person.
4. Lack of a forum for servers: all the questions about server, config server, bug in servers are in multiplayer... not too nice IMHO
I want to congratulate the people that have worked in this game, cause, as I have said beforem is really a GREAT game! I would like to say the same for the server....
best regards,

Well, three month now without a linux version. This is kind of a bummer, as i don't see what is so complicated about putting the same patch into the linux code and recompile the whole thing. This could maybe even help the libs problem by offering either binaries compiled for different lib versions or at least for the new versions.
Some of your points about missing log output is true, but most of it is the fault of broken addons/missions. Although it is strange that those same addons/missions are working on the windows server afaik. The linux server seems to be pickier, see for example aspect ratio. It would be great if this could be made equal by either making the windows server as picky or the linux server accept the same thing the win server does.
