Q: Why can't California, which is so litigious, adopt a law like Texas where the loser has to pay attorney fees?
- J.B., Torrance
Answer: Reading about the Texas law, it is not simply that if you sue and lose, you pay the other side's attorney fees. Research indicates that if there is not a contractual attorney fees clause, or a statutory basis for recovery of attorney fees, the Texas law that you refer to as "loser pays" only comes into play on an early motion to dismiss, which is granted when a lawsuit is deemed frivolous. It is not as broad as it may sound, or perhaps has been reported.
Now, many other countries (e.g., Canada, Australia, and Great Britain) do adopt the English rule, where the suing party often does have to pay attorney fees if the case is lost. The American rule typically is that each side bears its own costs and fees, absent (as in California) a contractual provision of some type or some statutory basis.
Q: I read a headline: "Anti-SLAPP Motion can beat down a frivolous case." What is that?
- M.C., Beverly Hills
A: In 1992, the California Legislature passed the Anti-SLAPP statute (SLAPP stands for Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation). Under Section 425.16 of the Code of Civil Procedure, you can promptly file a motion to strike a lawsuit against you that arises from your conduct in furtherance of the right of petition or free speech under the U.S. or California constitutions in connection with a public issue. Once the motion is filed, the plaintiff generally cannot engage in discovery until after the hearing (if the motion is denied).
Your burden is to show that the lawsuit arises out of a protected speech or petition activity. Over the years this has become more broadly construed than may appear on first blush. In some jurisdictions in California, you also have to provide evidence supporting your defenses. The suing party then must introduce evidence that supports the essential elements of his or her legal theory. If the plaintiff cannot demonstrate with suitable evidence the merit of his or her claim(s), the matter will be dismissed, and you will be awarded your attorney fees and costs.
You can read more about anti-SLAPP motions online.
Q: When can I file a malicious prosecution case?
- A.M., Lakewood
A: A malicious prosecution can be filed when you prevail on the merits, and the case is officially over, including any appeals. Yes, this can be very irritating because you are convinced the case was filed without good-faith reason, and no reasonable lawyer would have filed it, but that's the law. Perhaps a motion for summary judgment or summary adjudication would work. Discuss this option with your counsel.

Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2011 Couture
British punk meets Paris cancan: Oh, it takes genius to make such an appalling-sounding fashion trope even the slightest bit forgiveable. On this occasion, though—barely credible as it may seem—Jean Paul Gaultier took mohawks, studs, and leather jackets, married them with the girls of the Moulin Rouge, and came out with a defining triumph, soaring from grimy guttersnipe-style to a French level of sophistication which makes the rest of the world spit.
Let's view, for example, what he did with the French trench this season. It was in slick black patent. It had, however, a lining of froufrou tulle frills, alluding to fur yet suggestive of something a touch . . . bordello? From there, he moved into tailoring, proving what haute couture alone can do to make a derriere look unspeakably good in a jumpsuit. Tuxedos, or "smokings" as they call them in Paris? The best in class. After that, no question: He carried the audience with him.
Narrative fashion shows can be annoying these days, especially when one's considering a designer like Gaultier, with a past that wends back to the eighties. But this time, his revisitings of sailor stripes—brilliant horizontal organza ruffles on Lindsey Wixson—and corsetry, now merged into both a tailcoat jacket and a cancan costume, somehow seemed simpler, more relevant, and full of energy.
A huge amount of that confidence must come from the fact that it was Gaultier who was a pioneer in the field—by thirty years—of diversity on the runway. Now that punk (spring's rediscovery), and the drive toward inclusive model casting have both risen to the top of the agenda, Gaultier must be laughing, for he was doing all that a generation ago. More vitally, his women—proud, strong-nosed, ethnically diverse, from any subculture, and of any age—have always been there. That they look so exceptionally chic and grown-up today in their towering, feathered mohawks is a kind of completion for Gaultier. Ever the witty quipper, he skipped out at the end with Farida Khelfa, one of his original models, a mohawk taped to his pate. He looked really happy.

Please send your resumes to email@example.com
Our Customers
- "I have used services provided by Goivvy to optimize performance of Magento CE. Konstantin is very knowledgeable and experienced, he fixed some of the major issues and optimized the website which increased the speed and helped us increase our conversion rate."
- "Hi there. My name's Stephen Barger, and I'm the I.T. Administrator for New York Casual dot com. Our Magento website looked great, but was too slow. We really needed the pages to load faster for our customers. I tried all the off-the-shelf speed improvements like installing extensions and making the images smaller, but our Google PageSpeed scores were just not very good. I looked everywhere online to find a reputable company to help us out; it was a very daunting task. There are so many companies that claim they can do the job, but we really needed the speed improvements to be seamless with our live site; we wanted to avoid causing disruption to our customers. Fortunately, I found Konstantin at GoIvvy dot com, who was really patient and made it easy to come up with a plan to improve our site speed, and to roll out the implementation. Wow, what an improvement! The site is so much faster now, and everything works correctly as promised. There was virtually no down-time, and no disruption to our customers. GoIvvy dot com really improved our T.T.F.B. and our Google PageSpeed scores are now green! Thanks a million Konstantin, and we're definitely happy to have you in our corner. Needless to say, this has been a huge weight off my shoulders…I'm so thrilled and so impressed. You know, GoIvvy dot com, you guys are amazing. I want to thank you so much for your hard work, and for making this guy's life just that much easier. You are number 1 in my book. Thanks a lot."
- Stephen Barger, I.T. Administrator
New York Casual®
- "Goivvy performed an entire site optimization along with upgrading our Magento version to 22.214.171.124. Both tasks were formidable and required precision to ensure that no data was lost throughout the process. Additionally, they made sure that the implementation was fully tested and working properly prior to moving into the production environments. I received consistent updates and communication throughout the process which allowed for proper planning on the business side. I would recommend goivvy.com to anyone that needs Magento experts working on their website."
- RN, Vice President
- "Konstantin and the whole team at Goivvy.com have done a fantastic job for Surveillance Video. I am really happy with their exceptional service . When I have a question they are always there to answer, they have more than an outstanding customer service. After having many bad experiences with my previous developers, I am glad that I have found Goivvy. They are true professionals and their Magento knowledge is incredible, I am impressed. I would recommend Goivvy's services to all my friends and clients."
- Lowell Bradford
- "Great knowledge about magento. Quick developer and good attention to details. I also noted that Konstatin understands exactly what is needed and all I have asked to goivvy.com is made like I want. Thank you and keep up the good job!"
- Ruben, CTO, Ericeira Surf Shop
- "I came across Goivvy when searching for magento upgrade help, the last upgrade I did myself but it wasn't straight forward so I didn't fancy having another go. I emailed them and got a prompt reply from Konstantin, I told him what I wanted he gave me the price and time scale when he could do the work, we agreed the upgrade between 5-6pm, when the day came I checked my site just before 5pm and noticed the upgrade had already taken place, I then received and email confirming this, I must say I was extremely impressed. The upgrade went fine apart from a few small issues which was fixed really quickly, no 9-5 for this guy, he's answered my emails at all times of the day, certainly "out of hours". I would be more than happy to talk to any future customer of Konstantin's over the phone, this is a real review from a real person. I won't use anyone else in the future for my magento site."
- John, Scalemodelshop.co.uk
- "I was worried about the speed of my Magento site and how it was performing on different platforms. Lots of my customers are now using tablets and mobile phones to access my site so I wanted to make sure the site is fast. I asked Konstantin to use GTmetirx as a guide to speed up the site. Konstantin managed to get me overall speed and performance marks of A+ on GTMetrix, which have recommendations from Pagespeed and Yslow.
My site now works faster more consistently on different platforms. I think my Google Serps has improved as well due to the speed improvements. I would highly recommend Konstantin's services to improve the speed of a Magento website. My site is a skincare business based in the UK – www.dermacaredirect.co.uk."
- Bhavin, www.dermacaredirect.co.uk
- "Excellent work. We are very happy with the results. The site speed has improved dramatically thanks to Konstantin's expertise and professional work. Konstantin is very knowledgeable, easy to work with and a real gentleman. We will hire him again in the future for any magento /programming work."

Ok guys,
Backtrack 3 is genius. This wiki is not.
The generic login doesn't work. Individual logins don't allow edits either. Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of making a wiki? Admins- I'm sure you're much more intelligent than this shows.
Here's feedback that should go on the wiki - but can't because of the above problems.
WORKING HARDWARE - BT3 beta live CD
-- Macbook core 2 duo (Laptop) --
(intel T2500 core 2 duo processor @ 2GHz)
Laptop network card is an Atheros AR5006X
Everything works beautifully when running aireplay-ng manually. Airoscript doesn't work properly unless things are pre-configured manually. Details for configuring the ath0 device properly are listed below. I found it odd that the atheros card functions very differently than the rausb0 D-Link WUA-1340 driver.
The atheros card is seen as wifi0. When "airmon-ng start wifi0" is run, the ath0 is started in managed mode. To stop it, run "airmon-ng stop ath0". To use macchanger, first disable the ath0 device, then use "ifconfig wifi0 down", then "macchanger --mac 00:01:02:03:04:05 wifi0", then restart the ath0 interface using "ifconfig wifi0 up" and "airmon-ng start wifi0".
Injection works fine for networks with high strength, though I have some problems with injection where the AP strength is lower.
No more keyboard problems with BT3.
Working with BT3.
Warning: REALLY shitty range & REALLY shitty signal strength. Macbook internal atheros card can inject/crack networks that the WUA-1340 can't even see. Injection works, and strangely the WUA-1340 can see some networks that the atheros can't see, though with very low strength (yes, I tried moving the device around & testing in LOTS of orientations). The signal strength is reported with different units than for the atheros, so I can't compare numbers directly.
I wouldn't suggest this d-link card to anyone, unless you absolutely can't afford anything else.
This card uses the interface "rausb0". To enable use "airmon-ng start rausb0", to select channel & speed use "iwconfig rausb0 channel 6 rate 54M". To use macchanger, first do "ifconfig rausb0 down", then "macchanger --mac 00:01:02:03:04:05 rausb0", then "ifconfig rausb0 up".
-- note: wifi0 versus ath0 versus rausb0 --
I'm not entirely sure why things are designed in this way, but the macbook atheros card shows up as two interfaces, wifi0 and ath0. The D-Link WUA-1340 shows up as a single interface, rausb0.
When using the rausb0, all commands are used in the way that is expected.
When using the atheros card, stop the ath0 interface "airmon-ng stop ath0", disable the wifi0 interface "ifconfig wifi0 down", configure the faked mac using the wifi0 interface "macchanger --mac 00:01:02:03... wifi0", enable the wifi0 interface "ifconfig wifi0 up", then use airmon to start the ath0 interface "airmon-ng start wifi0".
-- Macbook atheros howto --
How to get the atheros card to work:
1. first disable the interface using:
airmon-ng stop ath0
2. enable the interface in monitor mode using:
airmon-ng start wifi0
3. find your network using:
airodump-ng ath0
[You should get a response like the following, and then push control-C once you see the network you want:
CH 11 ][ Elapsed: 1 min ][ 2007-12-26 22:37
BSSID PWR Beacons #Data, #/s CH MB ENC CIPHER AUTH ESSID
00:15:A0:01:C1:05 13 37 0 0 6 54 WEP WEP linksys]
4. stop the atheros interface using:
ifconfig ath0 down
5. reconfigure the atheros interface to the channel (CH = 6) and rate (MB = 54) used by the target AP (essid = linksys, BSSID = 00:15:A0:01:C1:05) that you found in step 3:
iwconfig ath0 rate 54M channel 6
6. start the atheros interface using the new settings:
ifconfig ath0 up
7. record the signals from the AP (-w is the filename for saving the information, -b is the target bssid):
airodump-ng -w linksys_data -b 00:15:A0:01:C1:05 -c 6 ath0
8. get data faster by running aireplay-ng attacks then use aircrack-ng to get the password.

Erie's Castellanos flirts with cycle
Tigers' No. 2 prospect homers, triples, doubles in 'Wolves' win
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com | June 20, 2012 7:25 PM ET
But when his timing is on -- like it was Wednesday -- he can lace pitches, any pitches, to all parts of the outfield. Now two weeks into his first trip through Double-A, the first-rounder gave fans in Erie their first taste of his abilities with the bat.
Castellanos went 3-for-4 with three RBIs in Erie's 7-4 win over Bowie. He missed hitting for the cycle by a single.
"It was when I was very young, maybe in coach-pitch," Castellanos said about his last cycle. "If you don't hit for the cycle at that level, you don't have a very good team.
"This season, this game is up there, definitely top five. It's my first game with three extra-base hits. I drove some balls the opposite way pretty well and I got my swing back. I wasn't being myself for a few games."
He slugged a two-run homer -- his first Double-A longball -- off Jacob Pettit in the first inning before grounding out to second base in the third.
"The first pitch of my first at-bat he threw me something away and I didn't put a very good swing on it, so I had a good idea he was going to go away again," Castellanos said of his opposite-field home run. "It was a fastball away over the upper half.
"It lets me know that my timing is good and that I'm seeing the ball well. It means I'm recognizing pitches and getting the barrel on it. When I'm hitting balls to right-center and right field, I'm seeing the ball well."
Promoted to Double-A on June 5, Castellanos then ripped the first pitch he saw from Pettit in the fifth for an RBI triple to center field, and he added a two-bagger to left field on the ninth pitch of his at-bat against Michael Belfiore in the seventh.
"The triple, I thought [Michael Rockett] was going to run it down. ... He bats first in their order, so he can run. I was just hoping it got down. He slipped or fell so I went for it."
Needing just the single to complete his cycle, the third baseman was in the hole when the SeaWolves made the final out of the eighth frame. He would have batted second in the bottom of the ninth has Bowie tied the game in the top half.
Had he achieved the feat, he would have been the second Erie hitter to cycle this year. Tony Plagman wrapped up his cycle with a walk-off single on May 22.
"Of course," Castellanos said about hoping for a fifth at-bat. "I'm not hoping for my teammates to get out first of all, but I was hoping also to get another shot."
Despite dominating the Florida State League for the first two months of the season, things have been far from easy for Castellanos at the new level.
The 20-year-old entered Wednesday's game batting .225 with just one extra-base hit and one RBI in 10 games for the SeaWolves. His latest outing -- his first three-hit performance in the Eastern League -- raised his average 48 points to .273.
"I wouldn't say I've struggled because of the pitching, but because of myself," said Castellanos, selected by the Tigers 44th overall in the 2010 Draft. "I've not been letting the ball get deep and I've been swinging at pitchers' pitches instead of waiting for mine.
"It's still a transition. The pitchers are very consistent with what they do so you have to battle every at bat. I really don't believe in mechanical changes. I believe in my swing and I think it works, so if things are not going well I watch video because it is almost always because of my timing."
Prior to the promotion, Castellanos led the Minors with a .405 average in Lakeland. He recorded three homers, three triples and 17 doubles in 55 games, during which time he scored 37 runs and drove home 32.
Bowie starter Jacob Pettit (4-1) allowed six runs on five hits and three walks over five innings and third baseman Zelous Wheeler plated two runs in the loss.
Erie's James Avery (8-5) allowed four runs, one earned, on seven hits while striking out five batters over eight innings. Bruce Rondon fanned one batter in a perfect ninth in his Double-A debut to record the save.
"It was Bruce being Bruce," said Castellanos, a teammate of Rendon's earlier this year in Lakeland. "He lit up the radar gun and he was throwing strikes with both of his pitches [fastball and slider]. His stuff is absolutely electric; he hit 101 mph. It was a great debut."

Billabong Pro Tahiti: Event Preview And Editor Picks
What: The 2011 Billabong Pro Tahiti. Watch it live at billabongpro.com
Where: Teahupo'o aka 'The End Of The Road" aka "Chopes". Whatever you call it, it's generally referred to the "heaviest wave in the world" for good reason.
When: The waiting period begins August 20 and ends August 31.
Who: The cream of the ASP World Tour crop including Kelly Slater, Joel Parkinson, Mick Fanning, Taj Burrow, Tahiti's own Michel Bourez, and two dangerous wildcards—Heiarii Williams and Ricardo Dos Santos.
With its thundering barrels and vicious wipeouts, the Billabong Pro Tahiti is the most anticipated stop on the World Tour. With the event site situated nearly a mile offshore, it's an event unlike any other. There are no bleachers, no schwag being passed out on the beach, no big cities, and no sideshows. It's a surfer's contest. A festival of tube riding. Air's don't matter. It's the reason people started calling this the "Dream Tour."
TransWorld SURF will be there, albeit not surfing in the trials like the old days (I called it quits after nearly drowning out there when my leash got caught on the reef while taking eight foot sets on the head), but celebrating and cheering on every heaving tube and skin scraping beat down. Our daily updates will make you feel like you're right there with us high-fiving dudes as they get spit out of the barrel!—Justin Coté
TransWorld SURF Editor Picks
Editor In Chief Chris Coté
Winner: There are two guys that are gonna go out to Teauhpo'o and pig-dog the shit out of that place. One of them will win. These two tube dwellers have the advantage of growing up near "The End Of The Road." The best bet for champion this year is Michel Bourez—watch his part in TransWorld SURF's Surprise Excitement Party for proof. The other possible champ is to Teauhpo'o what Adam Robertson is to Bells— Heiarii Williams is his name and he's deadly at Chopes—especially when the waves are pumping.
Shocker: Where's Dane? And how much will the ASP fine him when he doesn't show up?
Who will rip: Parko always does well in Tahiti, as does Bobby Martinez and the Hobgoods.
Who will slip: It will be interesting to watch Julian and Alejo at Chopes—I bet they will actually rip. Another question isn't who will slip, it's more like who will pull a no show? Dane? Slater? Bobby?
Managing Editor Casey Koteen
Winner: Kelly Slater. He was putting in time in throaty lefthanders in Fiji while the rest of the tour was eeking it out in marginal J-Bay. And in year's past there's this momentum upswing for the second half of the tour from people who do well at the US Open.
Shocker: Wilko will do a proper flip out.
Who will rip: I think it's about time Michel Bourez came up in his homeland.
Who will slip: Dane Reynolds. No inside word or anything, but I don't think he's going to Tahiti.

Winner: Owen Wright. The time is Wright. Sorry, had to do it.
Shocker: I think a lot of the leaders and favorites will fall early and we'll have a new winner.
Who will rip: A Hobgood. You can't go wrong with either of them in Tahiti.
Who will slip: Four out of the top five in the ratings.
Online Editor Justin Coté
Winner: Fred Patacchia. Hungry, mad, and willing to chuck himself over the ledge when (I'm praying for this) it gets a proper 8-foot out there.
Shocker: Boardshorts will be stained when Teahupo'o rears its terrifying head at eight to ten foot.
Who will rip: The Hobgood's, Bobby Martinez, Mick Fanning, and wildcard Ricardo Dos Santos.
Who will slip: There are a lot of guys on tour who haven't seen Teahupo'o at it's best. Guys like Alejo Muniz, Julian Wilson, Matt Wilkinson, Brett Simpson and a few of the newer guys on tour are in for a real test if it gets big.
Associate Editor Zander Morton
Winner: CJ Hobgood. He's been quiet this year – but it looks like the Billabong Pro will kick off in good surf, and CJ surfs Teahupo'o as good as anyone.
Shocker: Joel Parkinson. He's held the midseason ratings lead before but has never capitalized with a win at Chopes. History will repeat itself.
Who will rip: Cory Lopez. He's pissed about his poor WT results to date. If the waves are solid, he can win this event. Easy.
Who will slip: Jordy Smith. Not that Jordy won't rip—he always does—but I predict a falter against a wildcard in the early rounds.
Sales Turkey/Former World Tour surfer Jeff Baldwin
Winner: Parko vs Ace.
Shocker: After smashing his face onto the reef in Indo, Owen Wright will be gun shy.
Who will rip: Depends on what swell they get. I don't want rodeo flips or reverses…I want mean ass barrels of death where Dusty, Dane, and Julian will come alive.
Who will slip: Jordy will have surfboard issues and Alejo Muniz, who's been shining so bright, will be humbled.

Navigating the Terrain of Lived Experience: The Value of Lifeworld Existentials For Reflective Analysis
In qualitative research we are often presented with a tension between having open and fluid interviews to support staying true to the lived experiences of participants and achieving a level of abstraction from the data in order to uncover the essential structures and meanings of that particular lived experience. A way of resolving this tension is through the application of theoretical frameworks. Van Manen's four lifeworld existentials offer a lens through which to explore and navigate disparate interview data and uncover the essences of lived experience, without imposing categories upon the data itself. Drawing on a study exploring the lived experiences of childless women, we explore the process and principles in operationalising the existentials and discuss the potential implications for analysis and findings. The article demonstrates how Van Manen's lifeworld existentials present us with a holistic and valuable method for reflective practice, in coming to understand lived experience.

Hundreds of Wrecks, Power Outages as City Socked by Ice Storm
The wait for a wrecker to pull you car out of an accident was more than three hours this morning at the height of the worst ice storm to hit this area since 2011, 1200 WOAI news reports.
At one point about 7:30, San Antonio Police were on the scene of more than 200 accidents, and hundreds more accidents occurred since the icing began shortly after midnight this morning.
In a couple of incidents, dozens of motorists were stuck by an accident in front of them on the highway and were unable to move.
TxDOT sprayed deicing formula onto roads, and spread a fine gravel known as 'chat rock,' to help with traction on bridges.
But even though all schools and many businesses and government agencies closed or opened later in the morning, police had their hands full with wrecks all over the city.
A ten vehicle pile up on I-35 and Weidner this morning injured several people, and there were several multiple vehicle accidents around the city during the ice storm. Some police officers reported running out of flares to warn oncoming motorists of accidents.
It is the worst ice storm to hit the region since February of 2011, but, unlike that situation, CPS Energy said it didn't need to resort to rolling blackouts due to a lack of electric capacity. Officials said the capacity was sufficient this time.
CPS Energy dealt with thousands of power outages, mainly caused by ice snapping power lines. There were also issues with cars slamming into power poles.
San Antonio International cancelled more than a dozen outbound flights due to icing conditions, and a handful of inbound flights had to be cancelled, mainly from Houston, which also suffered from ice issues.

Captain Josh Clory, right, unloads the catch Wednesday at Seafood 2000 in Georgetown. Fishermen say while the prices are up slightly this year, they are still not making enough money to make ends meet.
©Steve Sharratt - The Guardian
GEORGETOWN – Nick Martell has an idea on how to improve low lobster prices this year.
It won't solve all the problems facing the fishing industry, but it certainly showcases the discrepancies.
"There wouldn't be such a low price if I had a friend out in Fort McMurray who I could ship lobster to," says Martell, 35, from the side of his boat docked in Georgetown. "He could take them to the Walmart parking lot there and sell them easily for $8 a pound."
But this isn't Alberta and Martell is reminded of it when he checks his weigh-in ticket that shows he'll average about $4 a pound for his lower than average catch here on Wednesday.
"That's just not enough,'' he says. "There is no way most fishermen are going to pay the bills and make a profit on that kind of money. Yes, we're getting more than last year…but that's just making up for the currency changes."
Josh Clory couldn't agree more. He unloaded his trays of lobster at the Seafood 2000 plant here knowing it will barely cover his effort.
"Right now the water is so cold that catches are down,'' he says. "So we may be getting a buck more than last year - which has more to do with the lower Canadian dollar - but I'm landing less lobster."
Craig Avery of the Western Gulf Fishermen's Association in western P.E.I. estimates landings are down 30 to 50 per cent.
"I figure my own landings are down 30 to 35 per cent and a drop of around 27 per cent is enough to offset the current price increase," he says.
Landings could certainly improve as the season wears on, but there is little hope for improved price this year. It's a buck higher than last year when fishermen went on strike for the first two weeks of the season and paralyzed the industry.
But that, says Clory, only exemplifies the crisis that sees certified and experienced fishermen, burdened with exorbitant lines of credit, landing a resource that commands a significant price for everyone but the primary producer.
"I don't know what we can do about it really,'' he says in the late morning sunshine. "We went on strike last year and that didn't work."
Martell works as a crane operator in Alberta for most of the year just to make ends meet.
"My company is nice enough to give me 10 weeks off to come home and fish…..I basically come home to lose money."
While Alberta is a job, P.E.I. is home, and Martell hopes things will eventually change so the fleet he purchased just two years ago will provide enough of a living so there's less need to head west.
"I'm all for the marketing levy to kick in and all for the provincial government offering to help because something has to be done…..there's just too much uncertainty."
Fishermen say they can't understand how the P.E.I. lobster continually commands the lowest price in the chain, when every other region from Boston to New Brunswick, realizes a higher price.
P.E.I. fishermen are receiving $3.75 a pound for canners and $4.25 for markets, up from $2.75 and $3.25 a pound last spring. Nova Scotia fishermen, however, are realizing $4.50 a pound for their canners and anywhere from $5.00 to $5.50 a pound for markets.
Some reports claim the mainland price has declined this week because the glut of P.E.I. lobster pushing the price down.
"I don't know about a glut,'' says Clory. "You saw the few trays I brought in today and that can't be called a glut."
Martell and Clory hope the marketing levy is implemented as soon as possible and legislation is passed to ensure a set price before traps hit the water next year. The levy would take a penny a pound from both fishermen and processors and raise about $500,000 every year for marketing and promotion of P.E.I. lobster.
"Something has to be done…or this won't be an industry,'' says Clory.
People who don't fish or own a fleet (lobster boat and gear) have no idea of the stress involved with a job dependent on so many variables, added Martell.
"I walked into the Sobeys in Fort Mac one day when lobster was $25 a pound and I wanted some. The cost for six lobsters was over $160 and I paid it," he said. "You know I really enjoy fishing…but it's hard when you are fishing for nothing."

Discussion in 'Members Zone' started by WV Cowboy, Jul 29, 2010.
Wrong Barney. :laugh2:
I was all excited when I started this thread, because we were getting a new puppy, .. and then went on vacation and forgot all about starting it.
When I got on the board tonight I had a real nice PM from Juke suggesting a good training book and offering his help if needed.
We have had a very hard time agreeing on a name for the little guy. We have looked at 100's and 100's, .. literally.
He is a Brown Schnauzer (known as 'liver' color), which I had never seen before. I was calling him Brown Schnauzer, Brown Schnauzer, Brown Schnauzer and then kinda shortened it to Brauzer. I really liked that name because it was unique to him, but other family members couldn't warm up to it.
We liked Barkley and Gunner, .. but I think we are going with Trooper.
On his papers I may name him Trooper von Brauzer. My last dog's middle name was Cowboy.
My wife and I had a great time looking at all of the names you guys suggested. Thanks! We had thought of many of them already.
Anyway, I'll keep you posted, .. I am picking him up Wed, Aug. 11th.
Should be fun, can't wait.
lol wow.
Just don't forget the safe word :laugh1:
The spelling will be Trouper, instead of Trooper I think.
Like, "he is quite a little trouper."
Not like a State Police Trooper.
We'll see.
Trooper von Brauzer? That's awesome!
Trooper von Brauzerpants
I know a good name....Buster! I love it!
Buster is a great name !
I seemed to like male names that ended with 'er', .. or 'c', 'k', or 'ck' sound. (ie Trooper, Barker, Gunner, .. Mac and BlackJack)
I think we have settled on his name being "Trooper von Brauzer", and of course just call him "Trooper".
We have had him for a week now and he is doing great. Juke gave me a good book to read and some helpful suggestions.
The puppy "season" of a dog's life is a lot of fun and very enjoyable, .. but also a lot of work and time consuming. But all of the time and effort put in now makes for a great dog for many years to come.
I hope I can accomplish raising him into a great adult dog.
Maybe I can post some pics sometime.
I like to use cool city names.
My three dogs are Vegas, Reno & Memphis.
The former members of ABBA will be very flattered!
Very good. Most people don't know this. Well...most people also don't know the difference between your and you're either.
I once had a dog named Bob Barker...
I can't believe no one suggested "Landry", "Bullet", "Meredith" or "Tex"...
My wife and I thought of Landry and Tex.
I had a dog named Barker in the early 90's.
We liked Barkley for this one, but decided on Trooper.
Yes, we went with Trooper instead of Trouper. Trouper sounded like a dancer or theatre type. (Not that there is anything wrong with that. )
I just felt Trooper sounded more masculine, like law enforcement or military.
I'm happy for you and your wife. This puppy will need to learn the way of the NFL season in a hurry. :laugh2:
Thanks Dooms.
Yes he will need to learn early about "game day" when the Cowboys or Mountaineers play.
My last dog would always jump up and bark at me when I would get excited and cheer.
My son's dog hides when the Cowboys are on.
Mine are the same way when Dallas scores and everyone is the room is high fiving each other my dogs have to get into the act. I have to say they are well behaved during the game. All I need to tell them is it is football season go lay down. :laugh2:
Sounds like my dogs...except I have an expletive I shout out when a play goes bad and they both run away from me. :laugh1:

I got a phone call today and they understood this is a serious matter. The management have pledged to have a good drink up after their next show and will dedicate the night to you. I told them that was kind, but you are quite old these days so we had better not go overboard and we'll need no more than 20% of the ticket money to fund it.
there we go, looking forward to that.

If you're not familiar with the command line, you probably want to get yourself very comfortable with Linux first. My suggestion, install a Linux distribution and use it without a GUI for several weeks until you know your way around the system using only the command line.
For books I recommend "Metasploit: The Penetration Tester's Guide" over "BackTrack: Assuring Security by Penetration Testing." It has more reliable sources, more explanation instead of as much command line output, and also cheaper. Learn the command line if you haven't already, this means a lot.
I suggest learning a good bit a networking and how to use the terminal before getting into backtrack.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.

American Journalist: What Happens in Syria is Blind Terrorism, Typical of the CIA with Arab Finance
Webster G. Tarpley, Ph.D.

December 3, 2011
DAMASCUS, (SANA)-American journalist Webster Tarpley said the West is doing its best to destabilize the situation in Syria where civilians have to deal with death squads and blind terrorism, which is typical of the CIA.
"What average Syrians of all ethnic groups say about this is that they are being shot at by snipers. People complained that there are terrorist snipers who are shooting at civilians, blind terrorism simply for the purpose of destabilizing the country," Infowars Website quoted Webster as saying to Russia Today TV.
He added: "What you are dealing with here is not a civil war, but death squads, you are dealing with terror commandos; this is a typical CIA method. In this case it's a joint production of CIA, MI6, Mossad, it's got money coming from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar." Continue reading »

Brevard, N.C. - Tarron Robinson connected on a three-run home run for the host Tornados in the series finale against #15 Catawba College on Sunday afternoon, but Ryan Bostian, Chris Dula and Ethan Satterfield all had three RBIs for the visiting Indians as Catawba recorded the series sweep with the 14-4 victory.
Brennan Daniels (3-1) suffered his first loss in the 2012 season for Brevard (14-15, 7-8 SAC), while John Tuttle (2-1) pitched five innings in recording the win for Catawba (22-5, 14-1 SAC) as the Indians retain sole possession of first place in the conference standings.
Catawba jumped ahead early, going up 3-0 in the first inning as Julio Zubillaga, Garrett Furr and Chris Dula hit back-to-back-to-back doubles, while J.J. Jankowski added an RBI groundout to put the Indians ahead early. Catawba extended the lead with four runs in the third inning and two more in the fourth with Greg Lawson driving in two runs with a base hit through the left side of the infield, while Cameron Beard and Ethan Satterfield added RBIs in the fourth as the Indians went up 9-0 before Brevard tallied their first run of the contest.
The Tornados battled back in the bottom half of the fourth as Eric Renegar led off the inning with single and Zach Merriken followed with a base hit to give Brevard two on with zero outs. Robinson followed with his fourth home run of the season, clearing the fence and the bases to cut into the Indians lead.
Brevard continued to chip away at the Catawba lead in the bottom of the fifth as Chad Funkhouser led off the frame with a single, advancing around the bases before Merriken singled him home with two outs to put the score at 9-4.
The Indians put the game out of reach in the top of the eighth inning with Ryan Bostian doing the majority of the damage in the inning with a bases loaded triple, drilling the ball down the right field line scoring Brett Underwood, Lawson and Beard to push Catawba ahead 14-4.
Avery Booker gave the Tornados their lone base runner in the final two innings, driving a single through the infield, but the Indians were able to keep Brevard off the scoreboard in recording the series sweep.
Brevard remains at home as they continue their long weekend stretch tomorrow afternoon as the Tornados welcome Erskine College to Gil Coan Field for a non-conference game. First pitch between the Tornados and the Flying Fleet is set for 3 p.m.

Scene Designs
Theatre students create scenery based on a photograph's color palette.
In Professor Desiderio Roybal's Scenic Design class project, the students had to select a photograph and incorporate the photograph's color palette into their scenery. The plate of drafted scenery was a front elevation of a cut, stone wall with crumbling stucco. The students used gouche paints to draft their scenery. This project taught students about color interaction, color palettes, and improved their painting, cutting, and illustration board mounting techniques.

LONG BEACH - The longtime head of the Long Beach branch of the NAACP is considering a run for the local school board.
Naomi Rainey has pulled the necessary paperwork required to run in Long Beach Unified School District's April school board election, according to the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder's Office. The well-known community activist has served as president of the local arm of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People since 2000.
Ricardo Linarez, the field deputy for 9th District City Councilman Steve Neal, also has announced his plans to run for school board. He and Rainey are the only nonincumbents to be openly considering a bid.
Two out of five seats on the Long Beach Unified School District Board of Education are up for grabs this year.
Rainey would be challenging incumbent Jon Meyer for District 4, which includes Belmont Shore, Naples and portions of East Long Beach and Signal Hill. Linarez would be challenging incumbent Felton Williams for District 2, which includes West Long Beach and portions of Central Long Beach.
While both potential challengers have pulled the necessary paperwork, they have yet to officially file as candidates. New candidates and incumbents must file the documents with the county by Jan. 15 to be eligible to run in the April 10 election.
Rainey, 62, said she is considering a run for school board at the urging of community members.
However, the longtime Long Beach resident, whose son died about a year ago, said she's still dealing with family matters and hasn't yet decided if now is the right time.
"I'm looking at how it would have an impact on my family life and my business," she said.
Rainey, who owns a real estate business, is a former educator with more than 25 years of experience. She has worked at schools in Long Beach and Compton and was an assistant principal at Poly High School.
"Long Beach Unified School District is a good district, but there always can be room for new ideas and different players at the table," she said. "I hear the concerns of parents, and at this stage in my life I'd like to use my education and experience to help give students in Long Beach a better education."
Linarez, a 36-year-old father and Long Beach native, said he's gathering signatures.
Linarez graduated from Lakewood High School and served in the Marine Corps for eight years before returning to Long Beach, where he said he became heavily involved in the community.
He said he decided to run for school board after seeing the mass teacher layoffs at Lafayette Elementary School, which his daughter attends, over the past two years. He believes the board could have prevented some layoffs.
"I believe we could have looked at the budget and saved some jobs and programs, but the board was not very responsive to the community," Linarez said. "It's the community where I grew up, and I want to bring back transparency and reinstate jobs. I want to make sure we have a better learning environment for our kids."
Long Beach City College also has two seats open on its Board of Trustees. Trustee Doug Otto, the current president, and Trustee Roberto Uranga say they are running for re-election. As of Tuesday, they had no official challengers.

For those of you following along at home who like this script, I've replaced the ping with:
And the appropriate strstr() to check for the 302 has-moved code. It actually stands a better chance of getting out (especially when, if you need to, you can wrap it in proxyconnect like I frequently have to do).Code:system("perl -e 'print qq|GET / HTTP/1.0\n\n|;' | nc www.google.com 80")
Other than that, good stuff sickness, look forward to further updates and more advanced features.
Still not underestimating the power...
There is no such thing as bad information - There is truth in the data, so you sift it all, even the crap stuff.
even if you try to update exploitdb manually it seems to hang, at least on my end. I don't believe that particular problem has anything to do with this script.

Great script; I got around ping filtering by removing the "check internet" feature.
Note: the KDE 32 repo upgrade to MSF is presently broken. See: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...asploit-2.html
Take note that the script may thus break MSF3.
thats strange I keep getting the same error as them and I'm doing it by "/pentest/exploits/exploitdb/platforms# svn up"

The slow start by Rhett Warrener and Jay McKee has raised concern among Sabres' fans. Several theories have popped up as to what might be wrong. Is Rhett upset over not getting the "C"? Is Jay mad he didn't get one of the "A"s? Are they still suffering from concussion symptoms? Stop worrying.

Sophia George/Victoria & Albert Museum
Game Preview by the first V&A Games Designer in residence
7-10 Aug (10am-6pm & Sun 10am-2pm)
Strawberry Thief is a playful celebration of the work of Victorian designer William Morris. Journey through this iconic pattern and bring his work to life!
Strawberry Thief was created as a result of the first games design residency at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Games designer Sophia George used the history of British design shown in the Britain 1500-1900 galleries as a starting point for her research. Sophia was inspired by the work and life of William Morris and has interpreted one of his most famous designs into a digital game.
Some of Sophia's residency was dedicated to public engagement, inviting a variety of audiences to experience and participate in the creative process of game design though an innovative programme of events and activities at the V&A.
Production of the game took place at Abertay University, working with students Ellen Brown and Cameron Moore and local Dundee company Quartic Llama. Audio for the game was in collaboration with Neil Cullen from the Royal Scottish National Orchestra.
Free Entry.
Dare To Compose by Royal Scottish National Orchestra
7-10 Aug (10am-6pm & Sun 10am-2pm)
Music in video games is often a sophisticated, complex composition that serves to engage the player, set the pace of play, and aid interactivity. Composers of video game music must master an array of specialized skills not taught in the conservatory, including the creation of linear loops, music chunks for horizontal resequencing, and compositional fragments for use within a generative framework. – Winifred Phillips
Using the example of Sophia George's Strawberry Thief, let the Royal Scottish National Orchestra introduce the basic fundamentals of adaptive music in games. While score for feature film or television is inherently linear, the music of games has the unique ability to dynamically react to player input. Using hands-on demonstrations Neil Cullen, the RSNO's Digital Projects Manager, will attempt to illustrate the dual concepts that drive the majority of adaptive music: Horizontal Re-Sequencing and Vertical Re-Orchestration.
Free Entry.
Dare to move
7-10 Aug (10am-6pm & Sun 10am-2pm)
Designed by Kenny McAlpine, Senior Lecturer of Abertay University, BitBox is an installation that takes game music from the screen and brings it into the room. Using ultrasonic sensors, the system tracks your position in 3D space and uses your location in real time to create evolving soundscapes, dynamic textures and interactive music tracks. Shake and move to create your own music effect.

The goal is to be the last player remaining. When the music — J.S. Bach's Brandenburg Concertos — plays in slow-motion, the controllers are very sensitive to movement. When the music speeds up, the threshold becomes less strict, giving the players a small window to dash at their opponents. If your controller is ever moved beyond the allowable threshold, you're out! Try to jostle your opponents' controllers while protecting your own.Sponsored by Die Gute Fabrik.
